The World Trade Organization (also known as WTO) is an international association that was founded to improve trades among the different countries in the world. The introduction and implementation of the Marrakesh Agreement triggered the establishment of this organization. To know the exact date when was WTO formed, it is important to explore the important events and details about the history of this association. In addition, it is also helpful to learn the functions of the World Trade Organization. History When was WTO formed? Technically speaking, the World Trade Organization was established on the first day of January year 1995 after the Marrakesh Agreement was introduced. However, the activities of this association have been present since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was implemented in 1947 after the Second World War. This agreement triggered the formation of other international organizations that have been helpful to enhance international economic cooperation such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank."

"text": "World Trade Organization Today, member countries number 125 (nearly the whole world except China, some former communist countries, and a number of small nations) and WTO rules apply to over 90 percent of international trade. By John Cavanagh and Sarah Anderson, January 1, 1997. Print Key Problems World Trade Organization (WTO) rules apply to over 90 percent of international trade. The 1995 replacement of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) by the WTO heightened concern among critics because its stronger enforcement powers represent a further shift in power from citizens and national governments to a global authority run by unelected bureaucrats. The most controversial outcomes of the Uruguay Round were the establishment of much stronger enforcement mechanisms in the WTO. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was an international organization created in 1947 to reduce trade barriers through multilateral negotiations. In January 1995, the GATT was replaced by a stronger World Trade Organization (WTO), the result of eight years of GATT negotiations. Today, member countries number 125 (nearly the whole world except China, some former communist countries, and a number of small nations) and WTO rules apply to over 90 percent of international trade. Although still a little-known and little-understood institution, the WTO has become increasingly controversial as it has expanded the scope of its work from its original narrow GATT focus on reducing tariffs on manufactured goods. The WTO now also works to eliminate nontariff barriers, and can be used to challenge environmental, health, and other regulations that may serve legitimate social goals but may be regarded as impediments to international trade."

"text": "back to top Specific and ad valorem customs duties Customs duties can be designated in either specific or ad valorem terms or as a mix of the two. In case of a specific duty, a concrete sum is charged for a quantitative description of the good, for example USD 1 per item or per unit. The customs value of the good does not need to be determined, as the duty is not based on the value of the good but on other criteria. In this case, no rules on customs valuation are needed and the Valuation Agreement does not apply. In contrast, an ad valorem duty depends on the value of a good. Under this system, the customs valuation is multiplied by an ad valorem rate of duty (e.g. 5 per cent) in order to arrive at the amount of duty payable on an imported item.back to top Definition Customs valuation is a customs procedure applied to determine the customs value of imported goods. If the rate of duty is ad valorem, the customs value is essential to determine the duty to be paid on an imported good.back to top Short historical overview Article VII GATTArticle VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade laid down the general principles for an international system of valuation. It stipulated that the value for customs purposes of imported merchandise should be based on the actual value of the imported merchandise on which duty is assessed, or of like merchandise, and should not be based on the value of merchandise of national origin or on arbitrary or fictitious values. Although Article VII also contains a definition of “actual value”, it still permitted the use of widely differing methods of valuing goods. In addition, ‘grandfather clauses’ permitted continuation of old standards which did not even meet the very general new standard."

"text": "Regional trade agreements Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have risen in number and reach over the years, including a notable increase in large plurilateral agreements under negotiation. Following the notification of the RTA between Mongolia and Japan in June 2016, all WTO members now have an RTA in force. Non-discrimination among trading partners is one of the core principles of the WTO; however, RTAs constitute one of the exemptions and are authorized under the WTO, subject to a set of rules. In line with these rules, and also recognizing the need to enhance transparency and increase understanding of RTAs' impact on interests of WTO members, the WTO Secretariat was instructed by WTO members to gather information on RTAs. The organization also provides a forum for discussions on the implications of RTAs for the wider multilateral trading system. What all RTAs in the WTO have in common is that they are reciprocal preferential trade agreements between two or more partners. Information on RTAs notified to the WTO is available in the RTA Database. The WTO also receives notifications from WTO members regarding preferential trade arrangements (PTAs). In the WTO, PTAs are unilateral trade preferences. Information on PTAs notified to the WTO is available in the PTA Database."

"text": "\"Flag When did the WTO form? Edit Answer by Borred Confidence votes 380The WTO started out as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in about 1948, headquartered at Geneva, Switzerland. Member countries realizing that the Great Depression was exacerbated by trade wars, competitive devaluations of currencies and establishing protectiive tariffs, following a \"\"beggar-thy-neighbor\"\" policy under the misguided belief that by keeping imports out of the country, domestic jobs would be saved. The result was retaliation and trade wars. The GATT was established for the purpose of reduction of such barriers to trade on a mutual basis and negotiating trade disputes in order to avoid confrontations and trade wars, retaliations, etc. Under the GATT and WTO, there have been several \"\"Rounds\"\" of trade negotiations, and several battles as well-but foliowing established rules-when disputes could not be settled peacefully. Perhaps the most notable of these \"\"Rounds\"\" was the Kennedy Round of Trade Negotiations, wherein American tariffs were slashed approximately 35% across the board, without demanding reciprocity from other nations--unilateral. The WTO has been fairly successful in resolving such multinational disputes and has started moving into areas of protection of intellectual rights, services, etc. following patterns of international business change. A bit more... The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an organization that intends to supervise and liberalize international trade."

"text": "\" (1) Background : Tariffs Tariffs are the most common kind of barrier to trade; indeed, one of the purposes of the WTO is to enable Member countries to negotiate mutual tariff reductions. Before we consider the legal framework that provides the discipline regarding tariffs, we must understand the definition of tariffs, their functions, and their component elements (rates, classifications, and valuations). ( a) Definition of \"\"Tariff\"\" A tariff is a tax imposed on the import or export of goods. 1 In general parlance, however, it refers to \"\"import duties\"\" charged at the time goods are imported. 2 (b) Functions of Tariffs Tariffs have three primary functions: to serve as a source of revenue, to protect domestic industries, and to remedy trade distortions (punitive function). The revenue function comes from the fact that the income from tariffs provides governments with a source of funding. In the past, the revenue function was indeed one of the major reasons for applying tariffs, but economic development and the creation of systematic domestic tax codes have reduced its importance in the developed countries. For example, Japan generates about one trillion yen in tariff revenue, but this is less than two percent of total tax revenues (fiscal 1996). In some developing countries, however, revenue may still be an important tariff function. Tariffs is also a policy tool to protect domestic industries by changing the conditions under which goods compete in such a way that competitive imports are placed at a disadvantage."

With both of these services, users can obtain and compare two sets of customs tariffs:the legally bound commitments on customs duty rates, which act as ceilings on the tariffs that member governments can set and are known as “bound rates”, withthe rates that governments actually charge on imports, which can be lower, are known as “applied rates” and have a direct impact on trade.

Legislative Framework Government procurement in China is primarily under the regulation of two national laws: the Government Procurement Law and the Tender Law, and local government procurement measures. The State Council is currently drafting implementation regulations to the Government Procurement Law, which was recently published in order to solicit public opinions. A. Government Procurement Law On June 29, 2002, the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) Government Procurement Law (GPL) was promulgated, and entered into effect on January 1, 2003. [ 1] It is the first national law passed by China’s top legislature to exclusively regulate government procurement activities. In the past, government procurement in China was conducted by government agencies and local governments with money from their budgets without reference to a uniformed set of government procurement rules. This system was plagued with a lack of transparency, uncertain rules and standards, corruption and a lack of dispute resolution mechanisms. [ 2] According to the GPL, the aim of the GPL is to bring fairness, transparency and integrity to the government procurement in China. [ 3] Although China started to introduce regulations on transparent and competitive government procurement system in the mid-1990s, the passage of this law was believed to be a major step in establishing a comprehensive government procurement regulation system by the government of China. [ 4]B. Tender Law The PRC Tender Law is incorporated by the GPL provision, which provides that the PRC Tender Law applies to the procurement of construction projects that require tenders under the GPL. ["

The WTO is based on agreements signed by the majority of the world's trading nations. The main function of the organization is to help producers of goods and services, exporters and importers protect and manage their businesses.

Next Up Anti-Dumping Duty Export Incentives Bilateral Trade Countervailing Duties (CVDs)BREAKING DOWN 'World Trade Organization - WTO'The WTO is essentially a mediation entity that upholds the international rules of trade between nations. However, the WTO has fueled globalization with both positive and adverse effects. The WTO's efforts have increased global trade expansion, but a side effect has been a negative impact on local communities and human rights. Advocates of the WTO consider the stimulation of free trade and a decline in trade disputes as beneficial to the global economy."

Most-Favored Nation Tariffs In current usage, MFN tariffs are what countries promise to impose on imports from other members of the WTO, unless the country is part of a preferential trade agreement (such as a free trade area or customs union). This means that, in practice, MFN rates are the highest (most restrictive) that WTO members charge one another. Some countries impose higher tariffs on countries that are not part of the WTO. In some rare cases, WTO members/GATT contracting parties have invoked the \"\"Non-Application Clause\"\" of WTO/GATT agreements and chosen not to extend MFN treatment to certain other countries.

Any Questions? Questions to think about Under which theory do you think best explains the creation of GATT and WTO? How would you explain the Truman Administration's refusal to ratify the ITO when they were the ones to suggest it? A short animated clip on world trade and why things need to change. Is the GATT / WTO a result of political or economic ambitions?"

"text": "The problemback to top Why an Agreement? High number of technical regulations and standards In recent years, the number of technical regulations and standards adopted by countries has grown significantly. Increased regulatory policy can be seen as the result of higher standards of living worldwide, which have boosted consumers' demand for safe and high-quality products, and of growing problems of water, air and soil pollution which have encouraged modern societies to explore environmentally-friendly products. Impact on international trade Although it is difficult to give a precise estimate of the impact on international trade of the need to comply with different foreign technical regulations and standards, it certainly involves significant costs for producers and exporters. In general, these costs arise from the translation of foreign regulations, hiring of technical experts to explain foreign regulations, and adjustment of production facilities to comply with the requirements. In addition, there is the need to prove that the exported product meets the foreign regulations. The high costs involved may discourage manufacturers from trying to sell abroad. In the absence of international disciplines, a risk exists that technical regulations and standards could be adopted and applied solely to protect domestic industries. From the Tokyo Round Standards Code to the WTO TBT Agreement The provisions of the GATT 1947 contained only a general reference to technical regulations and standards in Articles III, XI and XX. A GATT working group, set up to evaluate the impact of non-tariff barriers in international trade, concluded that technical barriers were the largest category of non-tariff measures faced by exporters."

Its highest value over the past 24 years was 40.75 in 1992, while its lowest value was 7.51 in 2015. Definition: Simple mean applied tariff is the unweighted average of effectively applied rates for all products subject to tariffs calculated for all traded goods. Data are classified using the Harmonized System of trade at the six- or eight-digit level. Tariff line data were matched to Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes to define commodity groups. Effectively applied tariff rates at the six- and eight-digit product level are averaged for products in each commodity group. When the effectively applied rate is unavailable, the most favored nation rate is used instead. To the extent possible, specific rates have been converted to their ad valorem equivalent rates and have been included in the calculation of simple mean tariffs. Manufactured products are commodities classified in SITC revision 3 sections 5-8 excluding division 68.

"text": "Your Ag College Guide Graduate Bios Chris Hogan, Ohio State University/West Virginia University College of Law By Farm and Dairy Staff - April 20, 2017 0165Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Chris Hogan Location: Bowling Green, Ohio, College/University attended: Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (2012); West Virginia University College of Law, Morgantown, W. Va. (2016) Major: History with a minor in agribusiness; law degree, concentration in land use and sustainable development. Career: Law fellow, OSU Extension Agricultural and Resource Law Program Why did you choose OSU and WVU? For my undergraduate degree, I looked at both OSU and WVU because I wanted to go to a larger school. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, so I wanted to have a lot of options. For law school, I liked that West Virginia was a rural state and I could continue to gain experience in natural resources and agriculture. How are you using what you learned in college today? In both undergraduate and law school, I sought out those with knowledge — professors or guest lecturers — and mentors who were happy to help people learn, and I gained a lot of information from them, and I continue to seek out people who can help me. Memorable college experience: Studying abroad. Through Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, I studied in Chile and the Czech Republic. Advice for students thinking about college: First, don’t be scared to change your major."

"text": "Majoring in finance is a very professionally oriented move. It’s a good idea if you know what careers you’re interested in, but maybe not so much if you’re still interested in playing the field. Finance Major: A good idea for the pre-professional Pursuing a finance major as an undergraduate student is a good idea for someone who knows that he or she intends to pursue business professions upon his or her graduation. Such professions might still require interested students to earn finance degrees at the graduate level, but pursuing finance majors at the undegraduate level will lay the necessary education foundation for later pursuing those graduate level degrees. The careers which a finance major might prepare you for would include professions such as: bond brokering, corporate finance, financial analysis, financial planning, underwriting, investment banking, venture capitalism, and portfolio management. What will I learn by pursuing a finance major? Working in finance is fundamentally about managing money, whether for individuals, institutions, organizations, or other entities. Majoring in finance will lead you to learn a great deal about how money works, and about financial instruments, stocks, bonds, and markets. This information will then allow you to determine important information and advice for institutions regarding the management of their finances. What is involved in the coursework for finance majors?"

"text": "\"Home EHR Systems & Cost Transparency in the Healthcare Industry By Peter Groen, and Roger A. Maduro | July 3, 2013Peter Groen Cost transparency is obviously a big issue in the healthcare industry. Whether it’s the amazing variation in costs hospitals charge patients for similar medical procedures, or the costs associated with acquiring and implementing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for a hospital - Why are all these costs often carefully hidden? Is there something special about the healthcare industry that says – \"\"Let's not talk about how much things really cost. \"\" Apparently, many industry leaders must feel that hospitals boards and patients have no need to know this information. The good news is that there is a growing movement and tangible steps being taken to expose the wide variation of costs consumers are being charged by hospitals and healthcare providers for medical procedures. See my most recent blog on this subject entitled, \"\"Open Systems for Consumers Comparison Shopping for Healthcare\"\". Kudo's to all those working to bring those costs for medical procedures into the 'open'. Now for the bad news . Unfortunately, the true cost of acquiring and implementing EHRs for hospitals still remains largely hidden from members of hospital boardrooms, not to mention the citizens and local governments that often subsidize the operational costs of these facilities. A quick search of recent news articles and reports on the cost of EHR systems surfaced the following information: In a Forbes Magazine article written by Zina Moukheiber and titled \"\" The Staggering Cost Of An Epic Electronic Health Record Might Not Be Worth It ,\"\" Moukheiber states that \"\"not-for-profit hospitals or healthcare provider organizations will need every penny of those taxpayers’ dollars [in meaninful use reimbursements], but they won’t cover anywhere near the staggering cost of an Epic EHR.\"\""

"text": "Home » College What Are Humanities Courses in College? By Karen Farnen An understanding of other cultures is helpful for international business. The humanities are those disciplines that study human culture and experience, including areas such as the arts, history and language. College undergraduate programs typically include humanities classes as part of general education requirements, even for majors such as engineering. In addition, many students choose to major in humanities at the undergraduate or graduate level. Whether you take only the minimum classes or declare a humanities major, these subjects add value to life after college. Examples of Humanities Classes Examples of humanities classes are the arts, including the history, theory and practice of music, art and theater. The humanities subjects also include the languages and literature of ancient and modern peoples -- for example, English, Latin, Japanese and German languages and literature. Other disciplines coming under the umbrella of humanities include religious studies; ancient, medieval and modern history; and philosophy. For example, the humanities offerings at the University of Kentucky include Introduction to Film, Introduction to Music, History of the British People Since the Restoration and Introduction to Philosophy."

"text": "\"How to get consulting jobs from an engineering and/or technical background This is the first of our series on entering consulting from “non-business” backgrounds – future posts include entering from liberal arts/humanities degrees and non-MBA grad schools It’s very common for engineers to be interested in consulting – a professionally demanding, well-compensated job which opens many doors in business and beyond. Another popular field is finance. Read more on the differences between consulting and finance here As an engineer – whether that’s electrical engineering, computer science, civil engineering, or any of the other quantitative and analytical fields – you may have the following concerns: You don’t have enough business experience on your resume You don’t understand the consulting industry sufficiently Recruiters won’t give you a fair shot since they assume you have no people-skills – preferring numbers and analytics You don’t have any recruiting preparation – in particular, how to tackle consulting interviews and case studies In this post, we’ll address each of the above concerns, discuss what strengths you should market and develop, and share tips that will serve you well during the management consulting recruiting process. What options are available as an engineer? Global management consulting firms – increasingly quantitative, increasingly analytical, and some of them (eg, Mc Kinsey) have a reputation for hiring engineers, particularly in regions that serve high-tech clients Boutique consulting firms – especially those with technology-focused industry specializations (eg, semiconductors, telecom)Technology consulting firms – firms such as Accenture and IBM Business Consulting provide technology-heavy support and solutions to clients What are your strengths as an engineer? Quantitative/analytical skills – applicants that have strong analytical capabilities are at an advantage. These skills are helpful with modeling (financial, operational), statistical analysis, and just basic analytical reasoning Success in a “tough” undergraduate major – generally speaking, engineering majors are tougher to complete – there’s more work involved and the academic content is more complex. Having a strong GPA in an engineering major shows recruiters that you work hard to accomplish your goals How do you mitigate perceived weaknesses as an engineer? In the order listed above: Business experience – if you’re still in college, find business-related summer internships and part-time jobs during the school year (provided you can manage the workload). If you’re not, tailor your resume to focus on skills and experiences that consultants look for, such as people-leadership, quantitative impact, and entrepreneurial initiative Insufficient understanding of management consulting – it’s your responsibility to learn as much as you can."

"text": "\"Walmart's Death Grip on Groceries Is Making Life Worse for Millions of People (Hard Times USA)Walmart's growing control of our food system has been to intensify the rural and urban poverty that drives unhealthy food choices. By Stacy Mitchell / Alter Net March 26, 2013, 10:24 AM GMTPrint Comments Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com This article was published in partnership with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. When Michelle Obama visited a Walmart in Springfield, Missouri, a few weeks ago to praise the company's efforts to sell healthier food, she did not say why she chose a store in Springfield of all cities. But, in ways that Obama surely did not intend, it was a fitting choice. This Midwestern city provides a chilling look at where Walmart wants to take our food system. Springfield is one of nearly 40 metro areas where Walmart now captures about half or more of consumer spending on groceries, according to Metro Market Studies. Springfield area residents spend just over $1 billion on groceries each year, and one of every two of those dollars flows into a Walmart cash register. The chain has 20 stores in the area and shows no signs of slowing its growth. Its latest proposal, a store just south of the city's downtown, has provoked widespread protest. Opponents say Walmart already has an overbearing presence in the region and argue that this new store would undermine nearby grocery stores, including a 63-year-old family-owned business which still provides delivery for its elderly customers."

The hypermart concept was modeled after earlier efforts from other retailers, notably French retailer Carrefour, and the Midwestern US retailer Meijer. All stores used a floorplan that exceeded 220,000 square feet (20,000 m 2 ). They featured a mini-mall, food court, arcade, bank, and other kiosk operations. The ones in Kansas City and Topeka featured Mc Donald's, Subway, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in their food courts.

"text": "By Morgan Quinn, Contributor Walmart, the largest private employer in the country, has a reputation as a terrible place to work, and is often targeted by activists for its low wages and unfair labor practices. Although some of these claims have merit (for example, sales associates typically make just $9 an hour, according to salary data from Glassdoor), there are many Walmart employees who report high job satisfaction and high paychecks. If you’re thinking about pursuing a career at Walmart, or curious how your job compares, here are the five best and five worst jobs at Walmart. Best Jobs at Walmart Even though Walmart has a reputation as a low-paying and demanding employer, there are some jobs that pay very well and report high employee satisfaction — especially if you are in management. Here are the top five best jobs at Walmart.1. Store Manager Store manager is one of the best jobs you can land at Walmart, according to Joni Holderman, a professional resume writer and founder of Thrive! Resumes. “ Few people realize that Walmart store managers can earn $150k to $250k+ per year in salary and bonus — if their store achieves all its performance targets,” she said. A former Walmart store manager, who worked for the company for more than eight years, wrote in a review on Glassdoor that Walmart has a “great compensation package,” and gives you “a chance to work with a diverse group of associates and customers. ”While employee satisfaction rates are high and the pay is great, this job does not come without its stressors."

"text": "Are Walmart Return Hours the Same as the Store Operating Hours? Home » Blog » Are Walmart Return Hours the Same as the Store Operating Hours? Each day, thousands of purchases are made by shoppers at Walmart branches across the country. While most of the customers are completely satisfied with the items they have bought, others may need to return all or part of their purchases for various reasons. Customers who prefer to return items directly to their local Walmart branches will need to know what the Walmart customer service hours are in order to successfully complete the transaction. Walmart Return Procedure Before knowing what the Walmart return hours are, customers need to be made aware of the fact that they will require an Easy Returns Receipt before being able to return any items to their local store. Once this is printed, they can gather the item (s) they would like to return and head to the returns desk. The main advantages of using this return method is that customers will receive a refund or be able to perform an exchange immediately in-store and they will not have to pay any shipping charges on their returns – unlike returns that may have to be shipped back to the store. Determining Walmart Return Hours Walmart return hours will depend on the store’s actual operating hours. For example, if the store opens from 9am to midnight, the customer service desk will generally be open during these hours."

"text": "December 24, 2016Christmas Eve Hours For Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Best Buy And Other Stores Open Late Shopping Zachary Volkert The time has come to hunt down the stores with Christmas Eve hours open late enough for you to get those last minute ingredients and gifts, even as your options have grown relatively thin as December 24 (and 25) have inched closer. Thankfully, the traditions of American consumerism and procrastination will be held high this year, as usual, for a large number of chain retailers, including Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Kohl’s — all of which will remain open until at least 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, though none of which will be open on December 25 itself. Kohl’s will be polishing off a 107-hour 24/7 marathon that kicked off on Tuesday, something that was par for the course for many Walmart stores until 2015 — when the massive retailer began shuttering down its “always open” status to just a few select cities. Since then, the world’s largest department store has slimmed down its holiday schedule. It now powers down the registers hours before its main competitors Target and Kmart. Walmart has actually dialed back on their Christmas Eve hours this year, perhaps in line with the company’s other strategy of eliminating many of their 24/7 services year round. [ Image via Joe Raedle/Getty Images] Joe Raedle / Getty Images Walmart Chief Coordinating Officer Judith Mc Kenna released a video statement saying that the company’s famous “roll back” was hitting its hours of service out of respect for its employees. “Our associates work hard all year to make this holiday season special for our customers, and we appreciate what they do every day. We also know that getting home on Christmas Eve to spend time with families is important. That’s why this year we’ll be closing at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve."

"text": "Economy Labor The political economy of low-wage labor By Trish Kahle Issue #95: Features Share The struggles of fast-food, retail, and other service workers since 2012 have thrust the issue of low-wage work into the national spotlight and shifted the national debate over whether to raise the minimum wage from the federally mandated non-tipped wage of $7.25 per hour. Courageous workers like George Walker, a cabin cleaner at Philadelphia International Airport, have begun challenging their impoverishment as corporate profits soar. “ I am over fifty,” Walker said, “and tired of living in poverty.” Walker—forced to choose between paying for his wife’s medicine and covering the family’s housing costs—and other workers like him who have joined organizing campaigns, have highlighted the moral depravity of companies that sweep aside the daily struggles of workers in order to maximize profits. Yet even as public opinion has shifted decisively in favor of raising the minimum wage, the size of the low-wage workforce has continued to grow. Nearly 40 percent of American workers earn less than the $15.00 an hour demanded by the low-wage workers movement, 1 and the experience of low-wage work is a common one. Still, myths abound about low-wage labor, its origins, and the workers who perform it. The ruling class has much at stake in this fight in which workers confront not only their wages and working conditions, but the ideological apparatus of neoliberalism, which stresses individual responsibility and deregulation. Neoliberal policies, media myths, and the intersection with oppression that many low-wage workers face collude to keep them marginalized. This persists even as their labor, particularly the labor of those in industries like healthcare and education, remain central drivers of economic growth."

"text": "A hernia occurs when part of an organ pushes through a weak point in the wall of the body cavity that normally holds it. Hernias can develop in many areas of the body, but abdominal hernias are the most common type. In this type of hernia, part of the abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak area of the abdominal wall. Although most abdominal hernias are not life-threatening, one type can be — a strangulated hernia. This type of hernia, in which the bulge is constricted so that the blood supply to the area is cut off, constitutes a medical emergency that requires immediate surgery. In an abdominal hernia, the resulting protrusion or bulge can be categorized as either irreducible or reducible. Reducible bulges can be pushed back into the abdomen, but irreducible protrusions cannot. A strangulated hernia involves an irreducible bulge that is tightly squeezed or constricted. This produces a blockage that cuts off the blood supply to a section of the intestine, causing it to die quickly. Bleeding and septicemia also can occur, and if the condition is left untreated, gangrene can develop within a matter of hours."

"text": "Home | Dogs | Health | Hernias | Treatment & Prognosis Treatment and Prognosis for Hernias in Dogs Source: Pet Wave, Updated on July 16, 2015Definition Causes & Prevention Diagnosis and Tests Symptoms & Signs Treatment & Prognosis Treatment Options Surgical correction after consultation with a qualified veterinary professional is the standard of care for treating hernias in dogs. The earlier that a hernia can be repaired is usually the better. Prompt surgical correction can help to prevent the formation of tissue adhesions and entrapment of organs within the site of the herniation. If the protruding tissue of a hernia can be manually pushed back through the defect in the body wall (which usually but not always is in the abdominal wall), then the hernia may be considered to be reducible. This is most commonly possible with umbilical and inguinal hernias, but it is not often reliably accomplished. If the bulging tissue cannot be pushed back into its correct anatomical position, the hernia is considered to be incarcerated. When the tissue of an incarcerated hernia loses its blood supply, it becomes a strangulated hernia. Strangulated hernias can become true medical emergencies. Inguinal hernias usually can be repaired surgically, especially if they are discovered early by an owner who notices an unusual bulge in the dog’s groin area. Many inguinal hernias in female dogs are only noticed when the bitch becomes pregnant."

The most common place that a hernia occurs is in the belly. The two most common types of hernias in children are: An umbilical hernia occurs when a part of the intestine sticks through the abdominal wall through the navel. An inguinal hernia occurs when part of the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall in or around the groin. Inguinal hernias occur in up to 5 out of 100 babies. Umbilical Hernia-UNIQUE1-Umbilical_hernia_MED_ILL_EN-UNIQUE2-This is an opening in the muscle of the abdominal wall around the navel.

Each link contains information to help you make important decisions regarding hernias and hernia repair. This page provides information about hernias and hernia repair so that you can make informed decisions about your health care. Keep in mind, some hernias can cause serious health complications, so if you think you may have one, it is important to see your doctor for a complete medical evaluation. Who can get a hernia? In the United States about 800,000 people per year undergo surgery to repair inguinal hernias (also called groin hernias) and another 500,000 undergo surgery to repair ventral hernias (abdominal hernias not in the groin area). While it's difficult to predict when and where a hernia will occur, the lifetime risk of inguinal hernia for men is 27%."

Print Background A hernia is a protrusion of tissue through a defect in its encapsulating walls. This defect occurs frequently; hernia repair is the most common operation in general surgery. [ 1]Hernias may be broadly divided into two main groups, depending on whether they develop in the upper abdomen or in the groin (see the image below), and each group contains multiple types. Variations of hernia type and location. View Media Gallery Groin hernias include the following: Indirect inguinal hernia - Bounded by the inguinal (Hesselbach) triangle, an indirect inguinal hernia passes through the internal inguinal ring; it is the most common hernia type and is more commonly seen in males Direct inguinal hernia - This type is similarly bounded by the inguinal triangle, but it passes directly through the muscular and fascial wall of the abdomen; it carries a minimal risk of incarceration Femoral hernia - Originating below the inguinal ligament, a femoral hernia passes through the transversalis fascia and through the femoral canal; it presents a high risk of incarceration [ 2]Abdominal hernias include the following: Umbilical hernia - This type (see the image below) is seen traversing the fibromuscular ring at the umbilicus; commonly seen in infants, it usually resolves by the age of 5 years; repair is indicated when an umbilical hernia develops in older children or adults, is larger than 2 cm, or is incarcerated [ 3]Epigastric hernia - This type is a midline hernia that passes through the linea alba Spigelian hernia - This rare type is located at the lateral edge of the rectus abdominis and passes through the semilunar line50-year-old man presents with recurrent umbilical hernia, which is reduced in emergency department. View Media Gallery Before surgical repair of a hernia, manual reduction can return the tissue to its original compartment. [ 4] Reduction benefits the patient by mitigating associated symptoms, avoiding adverse outcomes such as strangulation, and permitting elective surgical repair, which has lower morbidity than emergency repair. [ 5, 6] The most common hernias amenable to reduction are described in this article. Indications The presence of a nonstrangulated hernia is an indication for manual reduction. [ 7] Although an incarcerated hernia can be strangulated without the usual signs and symptoms of strangulation, reduction should be performed for most incarcerated hernias when clinical evidence of strangulation is not present."

"text": "Overview Inguinal hernia An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. The resulting bulge can be painful, especially when you cough, bend over or lift a heavy object. An inguinal hernia isn't necessarily dangerous. It doesn't improve on its own, however, and can lead to life-threatening complications. Your doctor is likely to recommend surgery to fix an inguinal hernia that's painful or enlarging. Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Symptoms Inguinal hernia signs and symptoms include: A bulge in the area on either side of your pubic bone, which becomes more obvious when you're upright, especially if you cough or strain A burning or aching sensation at the bulge Pain or discomfort in your groin, especially when bending over, coughing or lifting A heavy or dragging sensation in your groin Weakness or pressure in your groin Occasionally, pain and swelling around the testicles when the protruding intestine descends into the scrotum You should be able to gently push the hernia back into your abdomen when you're lying down. If not, applying an ice pack to the area may reduce the swelling enough so that the hernia slides in easily. Lying with your pelvis higher than your head also may help. Incarcerated hernia If you aren't able to push the hernia in, the contents of the hernia can be trapped (incarcerated) in the abdominal wall."

Hiatal hernia is a condition in which the upper portion of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through an opening of the diaphragm called the esophageal hiatus. This opening usually is only large enough to accommodate the esophagus. With weakening and enlargement however, the opening (or herniation) can allow upward passage (herniation) or even entrapment of the upper stomach above the diaphragm. Hiatal hernia is a common condition. By age 60, up to 60% of people have it to some degree. There are 2 types of hiatal hernia."

"text": "Hernia repair failure Not all hernia repairs are successful. Some fail soon after surgery, making a second procedure necessary, while others last for years before problems occur. Re-doing a repair is often more difficult than the original operation, particularly if there is a lot of tissue damage or an infection. Signs of early hernia repair failure A hernia repair can fail shortly after hernia surgery due to problems with healing or the technique used by the surgeon. Inexperienced surgeons have lower success rates than specialists in hernia repair. All surgery carries risks and complications can arise in an apparently uncomplicated hernia repair:1 The wound can become infected, and this infection can spread to the hernia repair mesh, if one was used2 A large blood clot or a haematoma can form around the repair. This may reduce during the couple of weeks after surgery and may not mean the repair has failed3 The repair is stitched incorrectly and this causes a second hernia to form next to the repair site. There is then a danger of infection. Signs of a late hernia repair failure The body wall can weaken with age and with increasing body weight and girth as the increasing size of the abdomen puts pressure on the repair site. Both of these factors make a second hernia more likely and they also increase the risk that a hernia will recur even though it was repaired successfully years before."

Jump to: Definition Facts Statistics Publications Awareness Hernia A hernia is the protrusion of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. The main risk is strangulation, which is a surgical emergency. Asymptomatic hernias can be safely observed, but severe pain is a symptom of strangulation. The most common hernias develop in the abdomen, when a weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized hole, or \"\"defect\"\", through which adipose tissue, or abdominal organs covered with peritoneum, may protrude. Another common hernia involves the spinal discs and causes sciatica. A hiatus hernia occurs when the stomach protrudes into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm. Main Document A hernia is a protrusion of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscle tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained. The hernia has three parts: the orifice through which it herniates, the hernial sac, and its contents. A hernia is an opening or weakness in the muscular structure of the wall of the abdomen."

"text": "\"Incidence of hernia is very high, and you are definitely not alone if you think you are suffering from hernia. Annually almost 5 million people are affected by hernia in US alone. 2/3 rd of all hernias are inguinal hernia, which is the most common type. It is called a men's condition because 90% of the cases of inguinal hernia affect men. If you want to know what it is and are wondering what does a hernia feel like, you will get all the answers here. What Is Hernia? Hernia happens when there is an organ or fatty tissue protruding from its surrounding muscle or weakened connective tissue called as fascia. There are various types of hernia – inguinal or inner groin, femoral or outer groin, umbilical (belly button), hiatal or of the upper stomach and incisional, i.e., caused due to an incision. Men have a natural weakness in the groin region and hence are more susceptible to inguinal hernia. In this condition, the intestine or bladder protrudes in the groin cavity through the abdominal wall."

The resulting bulge can be painful, especially when you cough, bend over or lift a heavy object. An inguinal hernia isn't necessarily dangerous. It doesn't improve on its own, however, and can lead to life-threatening complications. Your doctor is likely to recommend surgery to fix an inguinal hernia that's painful or enlarging. Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Inguinal hernia Inguinal hernias occur when part of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity (omentum) or intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdomen — often along the inguinal canal, which carries the spermatic cord in men. Symptoms Inguinal hernia signs and symptoms include: A bulge in the area on either side of your pubic bone, which becomes more obvious when you're upright, especially if you cough or strain A burning or aching sensation at the bulge Pain or discomfort in your groin, especially when bending over, coughing or lifting A heavy or dragging sensation in your groin Weakness or pressure in your groin Occasionally, pain and swelling around the testicles when the protruding intestine descends into the scrotum You should be able to gently push the hernia back into your abdomen when you're lying down. If not, applying an ice pack to the area may reduce the swelling enough so that the hernia slides in easily. Lying with your pelvis higher than your head also may help."

"text": "Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine Paraesophageal Hernia and Intrathoracic Diverticulitis J Am Board Fam Med. 2000;13 (2)In This Article Introduction Case Report Discussion References Discussion Hiatal hernias occur as three major types: type I, the classic sliding hiatal hernia in which the esophagogastric junction is located above the diaphragm; type II, in which the esophagogastric junction remains below the diaphragm but the fundus of the stomach is prolapsed above the diaphragm; and type III, a mixed type in which both the esophagogastric junction and some or all the stomach are above the diaphragm, but in which the esophagogastric junction remains more caudal than the fundus. [ 2, 3, 4] Most paraesophageal hernias are type III; type II is relatively uncommon. The hernia is due to attenuation of the anterior and lateral components of the phrenicoesophageal fascial complex. The resulting weakness in the muscle fibers creates mobility and instability within the hiatus, which allows for herniation into the mediastinum of the stomach, the transverse colon, and on rare occasions the entire bowel or other intraabdominal organs, such as the spleen. Listerud and Harkins [ 5] described 11 muscle variations in the formation of an esophageal hiatus. In more than 90% of the reported cases, the hiatus is produced from the right crus. Documentation of rarer cases of paraesophageal hiatal hernias in which the transverse colon might be involved include a report of a patient who had a paraesophageal hernia in which herniation of the splenic flexure led to colonic obstruction. [ 6] Another report described a rarer event in which a hernia through the aortic hiatus allowed passage of first the stomach and then the colon through the diaphragm. [ 7]Paraesophageal hiatal hernias can occur, though very seldom, as congenital problems diagnosed in infancy. ["

Learning Objectives Describe the actions that occur due to water’s polarity Key Takeaways Key Points The difference in electronegativities between oxygen and hydrogen atoms creates partial negative and positive charges, respectively, on the atoms. Water molecules attract or are attracted to other polar molecules. Molecules that do not dissolve in water are known as hydrophobic (water fearing) molecules. Key Termshydrophilic: having an affinity for water; able to absorb, or be wetted by waterhydrophobic: lacking an affinity for water; unable to absorb, or be wetted by waterpolarity: The intermolecular forces between the slightly positively-charged end of one molecule to the negative end of another or the same molecule. One of water’s important properties is that it is composed of polar molecules. The two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom within water molecules (H 2 O) form polar covalent bonds. While there is no net charge to a water molecule, the polarity of water creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water’s properties of attraction. Water’s charges are generated because oxygen is more electronegative, or electron loving, than hydrogen. Thus, it is more likely that a shared electron would be found near the oxygen nucleus than the hydrogen nucleus."

In reality, however, the bonds in most substances are neither purely ionic nor purely covalent, but lie on a spectrum between these extremes. Although purely ionic and purely covalent bonds represent extreme cases that are seldom encountered in any but very simple substances, a brief discussion of these two extremes helps explain why substances with different kinds of chemical bonds have very different properties. Ionic compounds consist of positively and negatively charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces, whereas covalent compounds generally consist of molecules, which are groups of atoms in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared between bonded atoms. In a covalent bond, atoms are held together by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nuclei of the bonded atoms and the negatively charged electrons they share. This chapter will focus on the properties of covalent compounds.4.1 Introduction to Covalent Molecules and Compounds Just as an atom is the simplest unit that has the fundamental chemical properties of an element, a molecule is the simplest unit that has the fundamental chemical properties of a covalent compound. Thus, the term molecular compound is used to describe elements that are covalently bonded and to distinguish the compounds from ionic compounds. Some pure elements exist as covalent molecules. Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens occur naturally as the diatomic (“two atoms”) molecules H 2, N 2, O 2, F 2, Cl 2, Br 2, and I 2 (part (a) in Figure 4.1 ). Similarly, a few pure elements exist as polyatomic (“many atoms”) molecules, such as elemental phosphorus and sulfur, which occur as P 4 and S 8 (part (b) in Figure 4.1 )."

I've colour coded the observations to make it easier to read - green text for those that mixed together, red for those that did not, orange for those that showed some signs of mixing but only slightly, and pale brown for the test that I would like to repeat again in the future to confirm. So before we get to why some things dissolve in others, let's examine the structures of each of these solvents in a bit more detail, and see if they have any clues within them as to why they mix or not. Water Let's start with water. Water is a bent molecule comprising Oxygen and Hydrogen. What gives water most of its interesting properties is because it is so very polar.

"text": "\"13.2 Solubility and Molecular Structure Learning Objective To understand the relationship between solubility and molecular structure. When a solute dissolves, its individual atoms, molecules, or ions interact with the solvent, become solvated, and are able to diffuse independently throughout the solution (part (a) in Figure 13.4 \"\"Dissolution and Precipitation\"\" ). This is not, however, a unidirectional process. If the molecule or ion happens to collide with the surface of a particle of the undissolved solute, it may adhere to the particle in a process called crystallization. Dissolution and crystallization continue as long as excess solid is present, resulting in a dynamic equilibrium analogous to the equilibrium that maintains the vapor pressure of a liquid. ( For more information about vapor pressure, see Chapter 11 \"\"Liquids\"\", Section 11.3 \"\"Unique Properties of Liquids\"\" .) We can represent these opposing processes as follows: Equation 13.4Although the terms precipitation and crystallization are both used to describe the separation of solid solute from a solution, crystallization refers to the formation of a solid with a well-defined crystalline structure, whereas precipitation refers to the formation of any solid phase, often one with very small particles. Figure 13.4 Dissolution and Precipitation (a) When a solid is added to a solvent in which it is soluble, solute particles leave the surface of the solid and become solvated by the solvent, initially forming an unsaturated solution. ( b) When the maximum possible amount of solute has dissolved, the solution becomes saturated. If excess solute is present, the rate at which solute particles leave the surface of the solid equals the rate at which they return to the surface of the solid. ("

"text": "Dipole Moments Last updated January 16, 2018 8:32:01 AM PST Share Table of contents Dipole moments occur when there is a separation of charge. They can occur between two ions in an ionic bond or between atoms in a covalent bond; dipole moments arise from differences in electronegativity. The larger the difference in electronegativity, the larger the dipole moment. The distance between the charge separation is also a deciding factor into the size of the dipole moment. The dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of the molecule. Introduction When atoms in a molecule share electrons unequally, they create what is called a dipole moment. This occurs when one atom is more electronegative than another, resulting in that atom pulling more tightly on the shared pair of electrons, or when one atom has a lone pair of electrons and the difference of electronegativity vector points in the same way. One of the most common examples is the water molecule, made up of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The differences in electronegativity and lone electrons give oxygen a partial negative charge and each hydrogen a partial positive charge. Dipole Moment When two electrical charges, of opposite sign and equal magnitude, are separated by a distance, an electric dipole is established."

However, they are generally much weaker than ionic or covalent bonds (Figure 11.2). For example, only 16 k J/mol is required to overcome the intermolecular attractions between HCl molecules in liquid HCl in order to vaporize it. In contrast, the energy required to break the covalent bond to dissociate HCl into H and Cl atoms is 431 k J/mol. Less energy is required to vaporize a liquid or to melt a solid than to break covalent bonds in molecules. Thus, when a molecular substance like HCl changes from solid to liquid to gas, the molecules themselves remain intact. Figure 11.2 Comparison of a covalent bond (an intramolecular force) and an intermolecular attraction. Many properties of liquids, including their boiling points, reflect the strengths of the intermolecular forces. A liquid boils when bubbles of its vapor form within the liquid.

Once we know a molecular shape, we can start to look at the physical properties of compounds. For example, we should now be able to predict which molecules will be polar. Polarity exists when there is a separation of charge within a molecule. This will arise from polar bonds within the molecule, due to differences in electronegativity values between bonded atoms. For example, HF is a polar compound. Fluorine is much more electronegative than hydrogen and the shared pair of bonding electrons will spend more time near the F nucleus, than near the H nucleus.

"text": "\"Introduction Living things are made up of atoms, but in most cases, those atoms aren’t just floating around individually. Instead, they’re usually interacting with other atoms (or groups of atoms). For instance, atoms might be connected by strong bonds and organized into molecules or crystals. Or they might form temporary, weak bonds with other atoms that they bump into or brush up against. Both the strong bonds that hold molecules together and the weaker bonds that create temporary connections are essential to the chemistry of our bodies, and to the existence of life itself. Why form chemical bonds? The basic answer is that atoms are trying to reach the most stable (lowest-energy) state that they can. Many atoms become stable when their valence shell is filled with electrons or when they satisfy the octet rule (by having eight valence electrons). If atoms don’t have this arrangement, they’ll “want” to reach it by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons via bonds. Ions and ionic bonds Some atoms become more stable by gaining or losing an entire electron (or several electrons)."

What type of chemical bonding does water have? Answer by Joshua Masland-Sarani Confidence votes 232The two hydrogen atoms in water molecule (H2O) are connected to the oxygen via covalent bonds, which means the hydrogen and oxygen share electrons. ( The hydrogen-oxygen bonds are primarily covalent rather than ionic.) The molecules in liquid water are said to engage in hydrogen boding between molecules. Water molecules are very polar because the oxygen has a partial negative charge and the hydrogens have partial positive charges. Because it is so polar, water can form hydrogen bonds, where the oxygen from one molecule of water has a strong attraction to the hydrogen atoms in another molecule of water. These H-bonds are strong compared to other intermolecular forces, but still fairly weak compared to the covalent bonds within the water molecules.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"How do chemical bonds store energy? Chemistry1 Answer62Ernest Z. Share Jun 24, 2016Answer: Chemical bonds do not store energy. Explanation: Chemical bonds certainly \"\"contain\"\" potential energy, and the atoms want to move to a lower potential energy (become more stable). When methane, CH 4, forms, the valence electrons end up in more stable (lower energy) C-H bonds. These bonds are fairly strong, so methane is relatively inert. However, if you add energy to the methane in the form of a flame or a spark in the presence of oxygen, some of the molecules will have enough energy to overcome an activation energy barrier. Some of the C-H bonds will break. The electrons can then enter an even lower energy state by forming C=O and O-H bonds rather than staying as C-H and O=O bonds. So they “rearrange” themselves to form CO 2 and H 2 O. The excess energy of 794 k J/mol is released as heat, which we can then use to cook our food, among other things. Thus, chemical bonds do not “store” energy."

The \"\"why\"\" question can be addressed at two levels, by looking at the thermochemistry of bulk materials and by examining at what is going on at the atomic level and the atom's quest for spherical symmetry. Thermochemistry of Bulk Materials Taking the macroscopic and view that chemistry involves the transformation of bulk substance, we can confidently state that a chemical reaction can feasibly occur when the Gibbs free energy of the system decreases, ie. when Δ G is negative or less than zero, Δ G < 0.00. The Gibbs function is: Δ G = Δ H – T Δ SΔ (delta) means \"\"change in\"\"Δ H is the change in enthalpy or heat equivalent T is the thermodynamic temperature, the temperature in KelvinΔ S is the change in entropy or \"\"dispersion of energy\"\", where gases are more dispersed and have greater entropy than liquids, etc. Reactions can be exothermic, –Δ H, or endothermic, +Δ HReactions [the local system] can decrease in entropy, –Δ S, or they can increase in entropy, +Δ SFor a reaction to occur the Gibbs free energy must be negative: Δ G < 0.00Δ H, Δ S & Δ G refer to standard conditions (1.0 atm) and temperature (298K)Δ H°, Δ S° & Δ G° refer to standard conditions but non-standard temperatures A couple of qualifiers There may be a substantial activation energy that stops a thermodynamically feasible reaction from occurring.

Elisa Brignone / Eye Em / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated April 11, 2017Combustion Definition Combustion is a chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces energy, usually in the form of heat and light. Combustion is considered an exergonic or exothermic chemical reaction. It is also known as burning. Combustion is considered to be one of the first chemical reactions intentionally controlled by humans. The reason combustion releases heat is because the double bond between oxygen atoms in O 2 are weaker than the single bonds or other double bonds. So, although energy is absorbed in the reaction, it is released when the stronger bonds are formed to make carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O). While the fuel plays a role in the energy of the reaction, it's minor in comparison because the chemical bonds in the fuel are comparable to the energy of the bonds in the products. How Combustion Works Combustion occurs when a fuel and an oxidant react to form oxidized products."

In humans [ edit]Actor Terry-Thomas was known for his 1⁄3-inch (8.5 mm) diastema. In humans, the term is most commonly applied to an open space between the upper incisors (front teeth). It happens when there is an unequal relationship between the size of the teeth and the jaw. Diastema is sometimes caused or exacerbated by the action of a labial frenulum (the tissue connecting the lip to the gum) causing high mucosal attachment and less attached keratinized tissue which is more prone to recession or by tongue thrusting, which can push the teeth apart."

"text": "\"Rahul Sanmugan, B. Tech Mechanical Engineering, Amrita University (2017)Answered May 27, 2016 · Author has 163 answers and 323.7k answer views Backlash, a clearance between mating gear teeth, is built into speed reducers to let the gears mesh without binding and to provide space for a film of lubricating oil between the teeth. This prevents overheating and tooth damage. On the other hand, the same clearance causes lost motion between reducer input and output shafts, making it difficult to achieve accurate positioning in equipment such as instruments, machine tools, and robots. For these applications, there are three basic ways to reduce or eliminate backlash: precision gears, modified gears, and special designs that use components other than gears. Precision gears Variables such as manufacturing errors, mounting tolerances, and bearing play often increase the amount of backlash in a speed reducer. Precision speed reducers minimize such imperfections by incorporating close-tolerance parts. Typically, they combine hardened precision gears (up to AGMA quality 14), ABEC quality 5 bearings, and machined housings with close tolerances on bearing bores. Gear makers cut precision gears in small quantities (no mass production) so they can use special machining techniques or matching of parts to minimize dimensional variations. Careful handling and packaging prevents small imperfections, chips, gouges, grit or dirt that also would affect the dimensions. Precision reducers typically limit backlash to about 2 deg and are used in applications such as instrumentation."

"text": "Machine Designbrought to you by Technologies > Motors/Drives What's the Difference Between Asynchronous and Synchronous Motors? Leland Teschler | Jan 04, 2013Download this article in . PDF format The increasing importance of energy efficiency has brought electric motor makers to promote a variety of schemes that improve motor performance. Unfortunately the terminology associated with motor technologies can be confusing, partly because multiple terms can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to the same basic motor configuration. Among the classic examples of this phenomenon is that of induction motors and asynchronous motors. All induction motors are asynchronous motors. The asynchronous nature of induction-motor operation comes from the slip between the rotational speed of the stator field and somewhat slower speed of the rotor. A more-specific explanation of how this slip arises gets into details of the motor internals. Most induction motors today contain a rotational element (the rotor) dubbed a squirrel cage. The cylindrical squirrel cage consists of heavy copper, aluminum, or brass bars set into grooves and connected at both ends by conductive rings that electrically short the bars together."

When a tooth is removed, the gums and underlying bone usually need anywhere from six weeks to six months to heal before you can get a long-term fix, depending on the replacement method you choose [source: Mayo Clinic ]. This is because tooth loss naturally causes a change in the shape of the gums and bone support structure in the jaw, which affects the fitting of permanent dentures and dental implants. This is where flipper teeth come in. Also called \"\"flippers,\"\" flipper teeth are lightweight, removable dentures that usually serve as a temporary tooth replacement option. Basically, they keep you from having to walk around with a visible gap in your teeth for several weeks. They also give you an improved ability to bite and chew food while you're waiting to get dentures or implants. Using a temporary device like a flipper can have some further-reaching beneficial effects on your oral health, too. Wearing flippers can help diminish bone loss in the initial three to four months after you lose a tooth, which is the time when bone deterioration is most drastic [source: Goiato ]."

In between the two crowns are false teeth connected to the crowns that fill in the gap.

A: Quick Answer Transparent teeth are caused by enamel corrosion, and a type of eating habit whereby the regular intake of some fruits, such as oranges, and beverages like coffee and red wine causes staining of teeth, and the outcome is experienced in the later years of life with transparent teeth. A regular diet of certain beverages with darker colors and tea also makes teeth transparent. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do You Eat When You Have No Teeth? What Ingredient in Coffee Stains Teeth? What Are Lumineers? Full Answer In some cases, some foods attack the enamel and corrode it, leaving the teeth under no protection. These are foods, such as vinegar and citrus fruits, that erode the enamel by their acidity. As a result of both the enamel corrosion and the adopted eating habits, the yellow colored dentin starts to show through the crack developed on the enamel and this leads to transparency of teeth. The risk of enamel corrosion can be reduced by avoiding acidic foods."

On risks, damages and dangers, this page lists specific problems relating to the placement and wearing of a dental bridge in your mouth, including advice for those who develop toothache under bridge work. Content copyright © 2009 - 2018 Healing Teeth Naturally One of the most invasive and serious-in-consequences dental treatments in my eyes since in order to bridge a missing tooth, the adjacent possibly perfectly healthy teeth must be reduced (filed down) to mere stubs. So in case you ever wanted to forego the bridge and \"\"go in the buff\"\", you are left not only with one (or more) missing tooth/teeth (your previous gap) but with a gap plus two or more tiny stubs (and which are likely to not survive in the longer (or even shorter) term due to pulp and other serious damage they have sustained). So here is a concise (not necessarily exhaustive) list of \"\"risks and side effects\"\" associated with dental bridge placement.1 Destruction of large amounts of sound tooth structure Placing a bridge depends on sacrificing large amounts of sound tooth structure in the teeth serving as the abutments.2 Damage to the pulp of the abutment teeth During the preparatory filing down of the abutments, the pulp (nerve) is traumatized/damaged and possibly killed. If the dentist won't take enough time (time is money!) in the process of preparing the bridge's abutments (files them down too fast), the excess heat generated will damage or kill the pulp of the formerly healthy tooth (more details at Drilling & filling teeth: an unwise choice? ). A dead pulp of course means a dead tooth (until the day that humankind will have discovered ways of revitalizing defunct tooth pulp). In my personal experience, bridge pillars are literally condemned to death, but according to dentist Dr. Graeme Munro-Hall, \"\"the greater the amount of enamel left behind after a tooth is prepared for a crown or bridge, the greater the chance of survival for that tooth. \"\" 3 Insufficient fit and structural issues A smaller or larger gap between the gums and the artificial tooth (the pontic or \"\"dummy tooth\"\") allows food rests and bacteria to infiltrate."

Gaps in your teeth can be due to unusual spacing between the teeth, having unusually small teeth, or because of missing teeth. There are a number of ways to correct this including orthodontic treatment with braces to move the teeth and close the gaps, composite bonding, porcelain veneers or crowns. Where there are large gaps because of missing teeth, then tooth replacement with dental implants or bridgework is the solution of choice. Despite what you may have been told, it really is never too late to have corrective orthodontic treatment. An increasing number of adults and children choose to receive treatment to improve their smiles and align their teeth correctly. This not only optimises bite and functionality, but also facilitates easier brushing and flossing – helping you to keep your teeth healthy. Treatment options to close gaps between teeth In addition to orthodontics, a gap in your teeth can be corrected with restorative treatments such as composite bonding, porcelain veneers or crowns. Larger spaces with missing teeth can be restored with dental implants or bridgework.

These dolphins (killer whales actually belong to the dolphin family) have quite a diverse diet. In most cases their diet is largely dependent on the region they live in and the food that lives in their local environment. The primary diet of most killer whales consists of a variety of fish such as herring, cod, hake and several other small aquatic species. In some cases they may also eat squid and octopus. Killer whales that live near land have also been known to attack and eat other marine mammals. Some of these mammals include seals, sea lions, walruses, penguins, seabirds, sea otters and even whales. Here’s a list of some of the most interesting foods found in a killer whales stomach: Whales Sharks Polar Bears Reptiles Seabirds Moose Killer whales are very intelligent and are well-organized hunters known for using elaborate group oriented hunting techniques to scare, corner and trap their prey so that they can successfully eat it while also minimizing their own risk of being attack or harmed. One method killer whales use when hunting for food involves a pod of killer whales circling a school of fish and scaring them into a tight ball. The killer whales then take turns darting in and consuming the petrified fish or in some cases they’ll slam their flukes against the water to stun the fish before attacking and eating them."

Sea otters are cuddly, cute and playful, but a recently published report from the University of California at Santa Cruz claims they could hold one of the keys to mitigating climate change. Two scientists from UCSC have demonstrated the crucial role that sea otters play in the health of kelp forests, one of the ocean’s great carbon sinks. If we want to sequester more carbon from the atmosphere, they say, we need more otters.

Even though Great white sharks is the most intimidating of all sharks, they're not the most aggressive sharks. Tiger sharks are way more aggressive than the Great white sharks. But the most feared and most aggressive shark out of all the sharks is the Bull Shark. The Bull shark can swim from the ocean into brackish and Freshwater. These sharks should be the most feared, they have more attacks on humans than Both the Tiger sharks and the Great white sharks.

"text": "Killer Whale Facts The killer whale (scientifically known as orcinus orca) is a large oceanic marine mammal that is part of the toothed whale (odontoceti) suborder. The toothed whale suborder is comprised exclusively of whales, dolphins and porpoises that are born with teeth instead of baleen plates. While the killer whale carries the name “whale” as part of its description this marine mammal is actually considered a dolphin. In addition to being known as the killer whale these marine mammals may also be referred to as the Blackfish or the Orca. Killer whales are one of the most well-recognized animals in the world and are easily spotted by their large size and distinct black and white color pattern. In fact the killer whale is the largest animal in the dolphin family and is one of the only known cetaceans to attack sharks, whales and other large marine animals, which helps explain why they are so well known and popular. These dolphins are extremely intelligent animals that are well-organized and follow highly complex social structures within their pods, which often consists of large groups of family members that can span several generations. In fact the social structure of killer whales is considered one of the most stable social structures of any animal species and is sometimes compared to the cultures of humans and elephants. Having no known predators the killer whale is known as an apex or alpha predator, which means it is able to hunt freely without fear of being attacked by another marine animal. In other words when it comes to marine mammals the killer whale is at the top of the food chain."

The population of these whales is small and has relatively low potential for growth—yet between 1977 and 1997 their number did increase. This makes it all the more troubling that, since 2000, the whales’ population has declined by roughly seven percent—mostly due to man-made water pollution. About killer whales The largest members of the dolphin family, killer whales are highly social animals that live in stable, family-related groups called pods. Led by females, these pods usually consist of five to 50 whales, although sometimes they can combine to form groups of 100 or more. Like humans, killer whales are very protective of their young. What they eat Killer whales eat a wide range of prey, including squid, fish, sea turtles, sea birds, sea and river otters, sea lions, penguins, dolphins and other large cetaceans, such as the blue whale. Northern resident killer whales, however, eat mainly fish. How to recognize a killer whale Without a doubt, the killer whale is one of the most distinctive marine mammals in the world. Its size—seven to nine metres long and between four and five tones in weight—and its striking black-and-white colouring, and long, rounded body make it unmistakable."

By Brett Smith; Updated April 24, 2017Whales are some of the biggest animals in the sea, but their massive size doesn't exclude them from predation. One of the biggest predatory threats to whales is actually other whales -- namely killer whales, or orcas. Popular as a tourist attraction, killer whales are just as deadly as great white sharks -- but much, much smarter. Fight or Flight Like almost every other animal, whales have a \"\"fight or flight\"\" response to being attacked. When being hunted by killer whales in arctic waters, slow-swimming belugas will use sea ice to evade their fellow cetaceans. Grey whales, on the other hand, have been known to fight back against their attackers. The grey whale earned the nickname \"\"devilfish\"\" during whaling times because it had a reputation for ramming vessels that attacked the whale itself or its calves. Band Together Both anecdotal evidence and scientific research have indicated that whales also band together when they feel threatened. In 1997, a group of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration witnessed a group of nine sperm whales being attacked by a pod of killer whales."

"text": "Whales are some of the largest marine mammals that live in all of the world's oceans. What do whales eat is a great question to start with for learning about the different kinds of whales since that is what puts them into their two suborders. There are two suborders; one for whales with teeth, and those who filter feed. Whales with teeth are known as toothed whales and their suborder is Odontoceti. Whales that filter feed are known as baleen whales (because the plates in their mouths that they use to eat are called baleen plates) and their suborder is Mysticeti. A killer whale is an example of a toothed whale, and they are probably the most popular toothed whale on the planet. It is not uncommon to see these whales at sea world or other aquarium being fed fish. A blue whale is a type of filter feeding whale. Filter feeding whales have plates on their upper jaw that look like the teeth of a comb. These plates filter food from the ocean water."

The dorsal surface and pectoral flippers are black except for a grayish patch (saddle) that lies behind the dorsal fin and a white eyespot located just above and slightly behind each eye. The ventral surface, lower jaw and undersides of the flukes are predominately bright white. The distinctive patterns are a form of camouflage to hide their presence when in search of food. In mature males, the dorsal fin is tall and triangular and can reach a height of 1.8 m (6 ft.). Averages 5.8-6.7 m (19-22 ft.); largest males on record were 9.8 m (32 ft.)In most females, the dorsal fin is typically smaller and slightly falcate (curved back), reaching an average height of 0.9-1.2 m (3-4 ft.).

The research on this phenomenon is not very extensive, but is showing some promising progress in the realm of understanding why killer whales have started attacking great whites. Some researchers are taking advantage of the opportunity to explore how this new breakthrough can help deflect sharks from coastal areas and popular beaches where high numbers of surfers and beachgoers congregate. The Farallon Islands, located off the San Francisco coast, are a critical base of research, where scientists monitor—among other things—13 different species of birds, five pinniped species, and great white sharks. The researchers studying the fierce predators arrive to the Farallon Islands in the summertime, when white sharks are known to frequent the area in order to feed on the abundant numbers of pinnipeds, or seals. This season is known to last through the fall months. It all started back in the late 1990s when a group of researchers made the annual trek to the Farallon Islands to observe the great white feeding season. They recorded the presence of killer whales in the area, which also feed on the pinnipeds, and thereafter witnessed a killer whale bully a great white. The orca proceeded to kill the great white. Researchers also noted that great white sightings ceased following the event."

Some studies have also suggested that human activities may have influenced whale feeding habits and the diet of whales, judging from reviews of historical evidence and studies of modern whales. Toothed whales, such as killer whales and pilot whales, are equipped with a large set of teeth, as their name implies. These whales have a diet that includes schooling fishes, squid, and marine mammals such as seals. Some species eat other whales and dolphins. In the case of killer whales, also known as orcas, the animals often work cooperatively to bring down prey much larger than themselves. Researchers have even documented instances of killer whales going after blue whales, the largest mammals on Earth. Baleen whales are filter feeders that eat things like plankton, copepods, small fish, and krill. They filter their food through a comb-like structure known as baleen."

By Ethan Shaw; Updated April 25, 2017The two species of manta rays are the world’s biggest rays: The giant oceanic manta, at its heftiest, may reach 7 meters (23 feet) from wingtip to wingtip and weigh about 2 tonnes (4,440 pounds), and the reef manta isn’t much smaller. The immense size of these docile plankton eaters -- found globally in tropical, subtropical and, in the case of the giant oceanic, temperate waters -- wards off most predators, but large sharks and orcas can and do hunt them. Manta-Eating Sharks Probably the most significant predators of manta rays are large sharks, which are found everywhere the rays are and which possess the size, strength and weaponry to tackle such formidable fare. Among the shark species mentioned in the literature as probable manta hunters are the bull shark and tiger shark, both apex predators in the manta’s tropical and subtropical range. Other predatory sharks big enough to conceivably prey on mantas include the great white, which exceeds 6 meters (20 feet) in length; the swift mako sharks; the oceanic whitetip, among the tropical open ocean’s most widespread predators; and the great hammerhead, which has a taste for rays. Shark Attacks on Mantas Evidence for shark attacks on mantas isn’t hard to come by: Numerous studies have shown shark-bite scars and amputations on living rays. More than three-quarters of reef mantas observed in fieldwork off the southern Mozambique coast showed such injuries, with tiger and bull sharks thought the most likely attackers. Research off Maui revealed a significant proportion of reef mantas bore shark-attack wounds. Of the scarred mantas, some 93 percent appeared to have been attacked from the side or from behind."

What are the symptoms of a pinworm infection? Pinworm infection (called enterobiasis or oxyuriasis) causes itching around the anus which can lead to difficulty sleeping and restlessness. Symptoms are caused by the female pinworm laying her eggs. Symptoms of pinworm infection usually are mild and some infected people have no symptoms. Who is at risk for pinworm infection? Pinworm infection occurs worldwide and affects persons of all ages and socioeconomic levels."

"text": "Enterobius Vermicularis - Pinworm Human pinworm, Enterobius vermicularis, is the most common parasitic worm infection in the United States and Western Europe. Pinworms are easily transmitted from human to human and are particularly common in children. Luckily the disease, enterobiasis, causes only anal itching. Enterobius vermicularis does not need an intermediate host to complete its life cycle . Humans get infected by accidentally swallowing or inhaling microscopic pinworm eggs. Once inside the first part of the small intestine, duodenum, pinworm larvae hatch from the eggs. The larvae are only about 0.15 mm long but grow very fast. They migrate towards the ending of the small intestine as they mature into adults. Adults are white, thin worms. Males are 0.2 mm thick and 2–5 mm long whereas females are 0.5 mm thick and 8–13 mm long."

World views and ways of living changed as quickly as in the 20th century. Transportation was revolutionized and the foundation of a manufacturing economy was laid. Diversification: A Brief Summary of the Changing Northeast The economies of New England, and the upper middle states were, before this period, dominated by overseas shipping and agriculture. Now they were moving towards manufacturing, and \"\"empire building\"\" at home. E.g. by creating a water highway, the Erie Canal, from the ocean to the great lakes and thence deep into the Northwest, New York made itself the trading hub of a huge expanse of territory, and was dubbed the \"\"Empire State\"\". There was also, in the North, a marked shift in the structure of society. The original New Englanders were already different from the southern colonists. Religion was supremely important, and the New England religion urged all to study the Bible and other religious writings. This placed high value on learning."

During the Civil War she served as Superintendent of United States Army Nurses. Dorothea (as a child called Dolly) was born in Hampden, Maine, the first of three children of Joseph and Mary (Bigelow) Dix. Her mother was listless and self-absorbed. Her father was a book dealer and an active Methodist, perhaps a lay minister. As a distributor of religious tracts promoting a hellfire and brimstone theology, he continually moved his family from place to place. As a child Dorothea was required to stitch and paste tracts, a task she deeply resented. The unhappy child felt neglected and abused. At age 12 she ran away. She lived briefly with her Grandmother Dix in Boston and, by 1816, with an aunt in Worcester, Massachusetts."

"text": "History Ralph Waldo Emerson at 200: Still Shaping the American Mind December 11, 2003Tweet Share“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” That short sentence encapsulates the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the quintessential philosopher of the American mind and prophet of self-reliance. The year 2003 marks the 200th anniversary of Emerson’s birth, and this bicentennial invites a reconsideration of Emerson’s life and influence. Born May 25, 1803, Emerson became a paladin of New England culture in the young republic. Within his own lifetime, he would be acknowledged as the preeminent scribe and preacher of America’s increasingly secular philosophy–a worldview based upon the solitary self–a self freed from all traditions, authority, and claims to truth. Literary critic Harold Bloom declared, “Emerson is closer to us than ever on his 200th birthday.” Bloom, an ardent agnostic, also claims that Emerson “remains the central figure in American culture and informs our politics, as well as our unofficial religion, which I regard as more Emersonian than Christian, despite nearly all received opinion on this matter. ”Emerson began his career as a Unitarian preacher and his intellectual formation was rooted in Harvard University and its Unitarian culture. Nevertheless, Emerson was later to reject even the heretical faith of Unitarianism for his own philosophy, based in the rejection of Christianity and the embrace of the self as source of all truth and knowledge. In “Self-Reliance,” his most famous essay, Emerson declared: “There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”"

According to various ideas about the afterlife, the essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity or, on the contrary, may not, as in Indian nirvana. Belief in an afterlife, which may be naturalistic or supernatural, is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death. In some views, this continued existence often takes place in a spiritual realm, and in other popular views, the individual may be reborn into this world and begin the life cycle over again, likely with no memory of what they have done in the past. In this latter view, such rebirths and deaths may take place over and over again continuously until the individual gains entry to a spiritual realm or Otherworld."

Before you answer, let me remind you of something: Our rights are supposed to protect us from the President, the Congress, the courts, and the police. Now, most people think it’s the job of the Supreme Court to protect our rights. But you know something? There’s no provision in the Constitution for the courts to adjudicate our rights."

Various religious faiths have flourished within the United States. A majority of Americans report that religion plays a very important role in their lives, a proportion unique among developed countries. [ 1]Historically, the United States has always been marked by religious pluralism and diversity, beginning with various native beliefs of the pre-colonial time. In colonial times, Anglicans, Catholics and mainline Protestants, as well as Jews, arrived from Europe. Eastern Orthodoxy has been present since the Russian colonization of Alaska. Various dissenting Protestants, who left the Church of England, greatly diversified the religious landscape. The Great Awakenings gave birth to multiple Evangelical Protestant denominations; membership in Methodist and Baptist churches increased drastically in the Second Great Awakening. In the 18th century, deism found support among American upper classes and thinkers. The Episcopal Church, splitting from the Church of England, came into being in the American Revolution."

"text": "When someone we know dies, it can call attention to the importance of the spiritual dimension of life. And when faced with the decision of organ and tissue donation during the trauma of a loved one’s death, a person’s religion suddenly becomes very important. As the decision is being made, the question often arises, “What is my religion’s stance on organ and tissue donation?” Most people are not aware of their religious group’s doctrine or position regarding organ and tissue donation. If you’re unsure of or uncomfortable with your faith’s position on donation, ask a member of your clergy. Research into the positions of various religious groups reveals the underlying attitude that unless the group has taken action to prohibit organ or tissue donation and transplantation, it is usually assumed that such donation is permissible. Donation is encouraged as a charitable act that saves or enhances life; therefore, it requires no action on the part of the religious group. Although this is a passive approach to affirming organ and tissue donation and transplantation, it seems to be the position of a large population of the religious community. Some groups have taken a more proactive stance in recent years, feeling that a resolution or adopted position encourages people to seriously consider the matter and to plan accordingly. Donation appears to be growing, with very few religious groups actively opposing it."

The denomination teaches that life is a sacred gift and that only God should determine when life ends. “ We simply feel that it is not our prerogative to end life,” says Edgar R. Lee, chairman of the church’s Commission on Doctrinal Purity. “ God is the giver of life, not us. ”At the same time, the church allows that life need not be sustained at all costs when there is no hope for recovery. “ We leave room for people to [reject] artificial means of life support,” Lee says. Indeed, he adds, the church “does not frown on” the use of pain medication to alleviate suffering, “even in cases where it might contribute to hastening death. ”For more information: Assemblies of God statement. “"

"text": "\"How power is used in negotiating difference is among the most difficult of all issues faced by institutions-particularly those that choose to be in voluntary association such as religious institutions. In fact, the major pressure points of conflict in our understandings of congregational polity revolve around the dilemma of power and difference. This section explores how prevailing understandings of congregational polity may enhance or inhibit our well-being as an association of congregations living with the reality of differences in power and identity in our multitheological and increasingly multicultural religious movement. Like most groups, Unitarian Universalists define themselves in terms of demographics, values, lifestyle, associations, modes of behavior, social, and theological orientation. These factors, which exist at the center of our movement and characterize our dominant cultural ethos and identity, are what sociologist Robert Bellah refers to as a group's \"\"habits of association. \"\" We might better understand Unitarian Universalism as a social system if we consider not only the characteristics, values, and patterns that are normative for those at the center of our movement, but the characteristics of those at the margins-those who do not fit the Unitarian Universalist norm. William Connolly has explored group identity in relation to difference. Just as heresy is defined in relation to orthodoxy, identity (both individual and social) is defined in relation to other identities. [ 1] Similarly, marginality exists only in relation to centrality. Theologian Jung Young Lee reminds us that \"\"marginality and centrality are so mutually inclusive and relative that it is imbalanced to stress one more than the other.\"\" ["

The sort of answer you will get to that question depends on what sort of humanist you ask!The word \"\"humanism\"\" has a number of meanings, and because authors and speakers often don't clarify which meaning they intend, those trying to explain humanism can easily become a source of confusion. Fortunately, each meaning of the word constitutes a different type of humanism -- the different types being easily separated and defined by the use of appropriate adjectives. So, let me summarize the different varieties of humanism in this way. Literary Humanism is a devotion to the humanities or literary culture. Renaissance Humanism is the spirit of learning that developed at the end of the middle ages with the revival of classical letters and a renewed confidence in the ability of human beings to determine for themselves truth and falsehood. Cultural Humanism is the rational and empirical tradition that originated largely in ancient Greece and Rome, evolved throughout European history, and now constitutes a basic part of the Western approach to science, political theory, ethics, and law. Philosophical Humanism is any outlook or way of life centered on human need and interest. Sub-categories of this type include Christian Humanism and Modern Humanism."

Paul Newman was born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. He died in Westport, Connecticut in 2008 of lung cancer. Newman’s father was of Jewish descent and though his mother practiced the Christian Science religion, 1 she was born and raised a Catholic. 2When asked which religion he more closely identified with, Newman responded that he felt more Jewish “because it’s more of a challenge.” 3 However, the quasi, soft-Christian sect of Unitarian Universalists have Newman pegged as one of their own in quite a few of their websites 4 5 and there are claims that he attended a Unitarian Universalist church in the town he chose to live out the end of his life–Westport, Connecticut. 6Interestingly, a Unitarian Universalist reverend in Connecticut commented on this article on the topic of Newman’s connection to this religion, saying that Newman’s children attended kids programs and activities at the church–which non-members are free to do–but that it wasn’t necessarily his religion of choice. 7In the end, it looks like Newman just wasn’t all that religious."

The term \"\"Christian Universalism\"\" was used in the 1820s by Russell Streeter of the Christian Intelligencer of Portland – a descendant of Adams Streeter who had founded one of the first Universalist Churches on September 14, 1785. [ 1] [2] [3] Christian Universalists believe this was the most common interpretation of Christianity in Early Christianity, prior to the 6th century. [ 4] [5] Christians from a diversity of denominations and traditions believe in the tenets of this belief system, such as the reality of an afterlife without the possibility of eternal punishment in hell. [ 6]As a Christian denomination, Christian Universalism originated in the late 18th century with the Universalist Church of America. There is currently no single denomination uniting Christian Universalists, but a few denominations teach some of the principles of Christian Universalism or are open to them. In 2007, the Christian Universalist Association was founded to serve as an ecumenical umbrella organization for churches, ministries, and individuals who believe in Christian Universalism. Unitarian Universalism historically grew out of Christian Universalism but is not an exclusively Christian denomination. It formed from a 1961 merger of two historically Christian denominations, the Universalist Church of America and the American Unitarian Association, both based in the United States.

The first step in having a Central Bank establish in a country is to get them to accept an outrageous loans, which puts the country in debt of the Central Bank and under the control of the Rothschilds.

The family has been around for more than 230 years and has slithered its way into each country on this planet, threatened every world leader and their governments and cabinets with physical and economic death and destruction, and then emplaced their own people in these central banks to control and manage each country’s pocketbook. Worse, the Rothschilds also control the machinations of each government at the macro level, not concerning themselves with the daily vicissitudes of our individual personal lives.

Balfour Declaration The Balfour Declaration, contained within the original letter from Balfour to Rothschild Created 2 November 1917Location British Library Author (s) Walter Rothschild, Arthur Balfour, Leo Amery, Lord Milner Signatories Arthur James Balfour Purpose Confirming support from the British government for the establishment in Palestine of a \"\"national home\"\" for the Jewish people, with two conditions The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government during World War I announcing support for the establishment of a \"\"national home for the Jewish people\"\" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a minority Jewish population ( around 3–5% of the total ). It read: His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917. Immediately following their declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, the British War Cabinet began to consider the future of Palestine. By late 1917, in the lead up to the Balfour Declaration, the wider war had reached a stalemate, with two of Britain's allies not fully engaged: the United States had yet to suffer a casualty, and the Russians were in the midst of a revolution. A stalemate in southern Palestine was broken by the Battle of Beersheba on 31 October 1917. The first high level negotiation between the British and the Zionists can be dated to a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour's request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration."

Part 2 of a Series:by Chuck Missler • May 1, 2010Print this article There are more Bible passages pronouncing judgment on the Edomites than on any other nation. 1 But who are they? What relevance do they have for us today? As diligent students of the Word of God, it is essential for us to understand who they are and what eschatological implications they may have on our present geopolitical horizon. The Everlasting Hatred The covenant birthright was a point of contention between Sarah vs. Hagar, 2 Isaac vs. Ishmael, 3 and which then became the root of the hb’yae ~l’A [ olam ebah —the “Everlasting Hatred”—beginning in the womb with Esau and Jacob, and Esau’s sub-sequent contempt of the covenant birthright, 4 and resulting in Esau’s spiteful intermarriage with the Ishmaelites, which con-tinued the “everlasting hatred” to this very day. 5 Recognition of this “Everlasting Hatred”—and its embodiment in Islam—is essential to our understanding its eschatological implications, as well as the daily newscasts that dominate our mainline press. The tensions continued as Israel, after the exodus from Egypt, was denied passage through their land of Edom.6 The misleading nature of the maps in many of our Bibles cause us to assume that the Edomites were confined east of the Jordan, south of Moab. However, the Edomites (“Idumeans” in Greek), under pressure from the Nabateans in the east, migrated west and established their own “Idumea” (see map, right). Migration into “Idumea”Nomadic Nabateans migrated out of Arabia into Edom and drove the Edomites westward."

Several Anglicans, including the Anglican Archbishop of Dublin, Richard Whately, decried the practice; many Anglicans set up soup kitchens that did no proselytising; and the Quakers, whose soup kitchens were concerned solely with charitable work, were never associated with the practice (which causes them to be held in high regard in Ireland even today, with many Irish remembering the Quakers with the remark \"\"They fed us in the famine.\"\"). [ clarification needed] [1] [5] [6]Souperist practices, reported at the time, included serving meat soups on Fridays – which Catholics were forbidden by their faith from consuming, and by the fact that they could not afford meat in the first place. [ clarification needed] [7]Soupers were frequently ostracised by their own community, and were strongly denounced from the pulpit by the Catholic priesthood, on occasion, soupers had to be protected by British soldiers from other Catholics. [ 7]Use of the term after the famine The idea of Souperism has become a leitmotif of fiction written about the Famine, and folklore and Irish literature are replete with depictions of souperism, this may have served to exaggerate the extent that it actually occurred. Both Bowen and Whelan (listed in Further reading) note that the fear of souperism was very real, and state that the practice did indeed occur, but they point out that there is very little actual evidence that the practice was widespread."

We've all dreamed about what it would be like to be rich, at one time or another. Can you imagine if you had all the money in the world? You could buy anything you wanted, anywhere and at anytime.

The bible says that Jesus Christ is the biological descendent of King David and the ‘seed of the woman’ ie virgin born. The bible also say that there is a seed of the serpent ie a Satanic bloodline. – Genesis 3:14-15 (New King James Version)14So the LORD God said to the serpent: “ Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.” – Christians often take the part about the ‘seed of the woman’, Jesus Christ as literal truth. But they assume that the ‘seed of the serpent’ is talking figuratively about evil people who worship Satan."

One of the most ungodly and fraudulent institutions ever perpetrated on the American people and the world, is the Federal Reserve System which through deceit became the central bank of the United States in 1913. The idea came about on a meeting in Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia in 1910. The bankers in this country, especially J. P. Morgan, created a currency panic in 1907 in order to get the American people to accept the idea of a central bank. A central bank already existed in England from as far back as 1694.

Their wealth has been made primarily in the world of banking. However, they have massive investments in other industries such as real estate, oil and construction. This unique family began with their patriarch, Mayer Amschel Rothschild. He was a Jew living in Germany in the 18th century. He was a court Jew or personal banker of the German royals and governors of the Roman states in Hesse-Kassel. In the year 1760, he has begun a banking business in the city of Frankfurt. Over time, he provided his services to the nobles and royals of Germany and accumulated a huge fortune. Nathan Rothschild Amschel had five sons and he passed on his wealth to them."

And to imprison us they also imprison themselves to a paradigm that will always implode on itself. I will start with earth and work my way out to the edge of the solar system.

Dore Gold, October 31, 2017Filed Under: Europe and Israel , International Law , Israel , Palestinians , The Middle East* Ambassador Dore Gold is the Guest Editor of this special issue of the Jewish Political Studies Review. The stated purpose of the Balfour Declaration from November 2, 1917 and the circumstances under which it was published are generally known. 1 The most common explanation was that Britain and the Allied Powers were moved by idealism and their interests. At a critical point in the First World War, the British cabinet needed to secure world Jewish support for the Allied cause and hoped at the same time to keep both the United States and Russia on their side. With time, however, the world’s understanding of the Declaration has become the subject of bitter controversy and revisionist interpretation. In fact, the Palestinian Authority of today went so far as to call it a “crime.” 2It is noteworthy that the declaration was much more than a unilateral act of His Majesty’s government. On June 4, 1917, the French Foreign Minister, Jules Cambon, wrote to Nahum Sokolow that the French government felt sympathy for his cause, which Cambon defined as “the renaissance of the Jewish nationality in that Land from which the people of Israel were exiled so many centuries ago. ”Moreover, before publishing the Declaration, British diplomacy first secured the support of President Woodrow Wilson and the American government."

English translations of the phrase include \"\" all other things being equal \"\" or \"\" other things held constant \"\" or \"\" all else unchanged \"\". A prediction or a statement about a causal, empirical, or logical relation between two states of affairs is ceteris paribus if it is acknowledged that the prediction, although usually accurate in expected conditions, can fail or the relation can be abolished by intervening factors. [ 1]A ceteris paribus assumption is often key to scientific inquiry, as scientists seek to screen out factors that perturb a relation of interest. Thus, epidemiologists for example may seek to control independent variables as factors that may influence dependent variables —the outcomes or effects of interest. Likewise, in scientific modeling, simplifying assumptions permit illustration or elucidation of concepts thought relevant within the sphere of inquiry. There is ongoing debate in the philosophy of science concerning ceteris paribus statements. On the logical empiricist view, fundamental physics tends to state universal laws, whereas other sciences, such as biology, psychology, and economics, tend to state laws that hold true in normal conditions but have exceptions, ceteris paribus laws (cp laws).

"text": "\"18.10 Effect of a Price Level Increase (Inflation) on Interest Rates Learning Objective Learn how a change in the price level affects the equilibrium interest rate. Now let’s consider the effects of a price level increase in the money market. When the price level rises in an economy, the average price of all goods and services sold is increasing. Inflation is calculated as the percentage increase in a country’s price level over some period, usually a year. This means that in the period during which the price level increases, inflation is occurring. Thus studying the effects of a price level increase is the same as studying the effects of inflation. Inflation can arise for several reasons that will be discussed later in this chapter. For now, we will imagine that the price level increases for some unspecified reason and consider the consequences. Suppose the money market is originally in equilibrium at point A in Figure 18.4 \"\"Effects of a Price Level Increase\"\" with real money supply M S / P $ ′ and interest rate i $ ′. Suppose the price level increases, ceteris paribus. Again, the ceteris paribus assumption means that we assume all other exogenous variables in the model remain fixed at their original levels."

"text": "The Law of Demand In general, the law of demand states that the quantity demanded and the price of a good or service is inversely related, other things remaining constant. Learning Objectives Explain the concept of demand and discuss the factors that affect it Key Takeaways Key Points The demand curve is downward sloping, indicating the negative relationship between the price of a product and the quantity demanded. For normal goods, a change in price will be reflected as a move along the demand curve while a non-price change will result in a shift of the demand curve. Two exceptions to the law of demand are Giffen goods and Veblen goods. Key Terms Giffen good: A good which people consume more of as only the price rises; Having a positive price elasticity of demand. Veblen good: A good for which people’s preference for buying them increases as a direct function of their price, as greater price confers greater status.normal good: A good for which demand increases when income increases and falls when income decreases but price remains constant. In economics, the law of demand states that the quantity demanded and the price of a good or service is inversely related, other things remaining constant. Therefore, the demand curve will generally be downward sloping, indicating the negative relationship between the price of a good or service and the quantity demanded. Movement along the Demand Curve If the income of the consumer, prices of the related goods, and preferences of the consumer remain unchanged, then the change in quantity of good demanded by the consumer will be negatively correlated to the change in the price of the good or service. The change in price will be reflected as a move along the demand curve."

In standard neoclassical terms: Continuing with the accountant example, what determines labor demand? Simple – the law of demand: The higher the price of accounting services, the less people will buy. So how does the market for accounting services work? It looks like any other commodity market, with the wage and quantity of hours fluctuating in response to supply and demand. Only unusual thing to note about the self-employed: When demand goes up, some accountants may actually cut back their hours.

The author using ceteris paribus is attempting to distinguish an effect of one kind of change from any others. The term \"\"ceteris paribus\"\" is often used in economics to describe a situation where one determinant of supply or demand changes while all other factors affecting supply and demand remain unchanged. Such an \"\"all else being equal\"\" analysis is important because it allows economists to tease out specific cause and effect in the form of comparative statics, or analysis of changes in equilibrium. In practice, however, it is often difficult to find such \"\"all else being equal\"\" situations because the world is complicated enough that it is typical for many factors to change at the same time. That said, economists can use various statistical methods in order to simulate a ceteris paribus situation in order to estimate cause and effect relationships.

"text": "Laws of Nature First published Tue Apr 29, 2003; substantive revision Tue Aug 2, 2016Science includes many principles at least once thought to be laws of nature: Newton’s law of gravitation, his three laws of motion, the ideal gas laws, Mendel’s laws, the laws of supply and demand, and so on. Other regularities important to science were not thought to have this status. These include regularities that, unlike laws, were (or still are) thought by scientists to stand in need of explanation. These include the regularity of the ocean tides, the perihelion of Mercury’s orbit, the photoelectric effect, that the universe is expanding, and so on. Scientists also use laws but not other regularities to sort out what is possible: It is based on their consistency with Einstein’s laws of gravity that cosmologists recognize the possibility that our universe is closed and the possibility that it is open (Maudlin 2007, 7–8). In statistical mechanics, the laws of an underlying physical theory are used to determine the dynamically possible trajectories through the state space of the system (Roberts 2008, 12–16). Philosophers of science and metaphysicians address various issues about laws, but the basic question is: What is it to be a law? Two influential answers are David Lewis’s systems approach (1973, 1983, 1986, 1994) and David Armstrong’s universals approach (1978, 1983, 1991, 1993). Other treatments include antirealist views (van Fraassen 1989, Giere 1999, Ward 2002, Mumford 2004) and antireductionist views (Carroll 1994 and 2008, Lange 2000 and 2009, Maudlin 2007). Besides the basic question, the recent literature has also focused on (i) whether laws supervene on matters of fact, (ii) the role laws play in the problem of induction, (iii) whether laws involve metaphysical necessity, and (iv) the role of laws in physics and how that contrasts with the role of laws in the special sciences.1."

"text": "\"SHORT-RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: A graphical representation of the short-run relation between real production and the price level, holding all ceteris paribus aggregate supply determinants constant. The short-run aggregate supply, or SRAS, curve is one of two curves that graphical capture the supply-side of the aggregate market. The other is the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS). The demand-side of the aggregate market is occupied by the aggregate demand curve. The positive slope of the SRAS curve captures the direct relation between real production and the price level that exists in the short run. The short-run aggregate supply curve captures the relation between real production and the price level. As the price level rises, real production is greater. As the price level falls, real production also declines. The interaction between the short-run aggregate supply curve and the aggregate demand curve, as well as the long-run aggregate supply curve is the core mechanism of the aggregate market (AS-AD) analysis. This analysis is then used to explain and understand macroeconomic phenomenon, including business cycles, inflation, unemployment, and stabilization policies."

Weitzman, the newly released book Climate Shock discusses the economic consequences of a hotter planet. Wagner and Weitzman shift the emphasis, appropriately, from the expected value of the damages to the \"\"fat tail\"\" of catastrophic damages. Doubling the atmosphere’s concentration of carbon dioxide relative to preindustrial levels could raise global average temps between 2.7℉ and 8℉. That's the traditional way of looking at the impacts. But even more concerning is the risk of even worse outcomes. Numbers put this argument in even starker terms: Preindustrial carbon dioxide levels were 280 parts per million. Today we’re at 400 ppm, with an annual increase of 2 ppm. According to the International Energy Agency, unless we take drastic action, we’ll reach 700 ppm by the year 2100. Wagner and Weitzman use established studies to estimate that at 700 ppm, there is an 11% chance of an increase in global temperature by more than 11℉. This level of increase would lead to “near-certain disaster,” they argue."

"text": "US Economy Demand What Is Elastic Demand? Formula, Curve, and Examples When the Amount Bought Is Very Sensitive to Price Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated December 04, 2017Elastic demand is when price or other factors have a big effect on the quantity consumers want to buy. You'll see it most often when consumers respond to price changes. If the price goes down just a little, they'll buy a lot more. If prices rise just a bit, they'll stop buying as much and wait for them to return to normal. Price is one of the five determinants of demand . If a good or service has elastic demand, it means consumers will do a lot of comparison shopping. They typically do this when they aren't desperate to have it or they don't need it every day. They'll also comparison shop when there are a lot of other similar choices. The law of demand guides the relationship between price and the quantity bought."

John, Carlos, Hua, Michel, and Fred are the only individuals who are willing and able to buy the car. Therefore, the total revenue for the dealer is price x quantity, or $800,000 x 5 = $4,000,000. ( b) The most a car dealer could charge a customer is her or his maximum price threshold. This is known as price discrimination, or charging individual consumers different prices for the same good. Fred's maximum price threshold is $1,000,000, Michel's is $950,000, Hua's is $900,000, Carlos's is $850,000 and John's is $800,000.

Understand the adjustment process in the money market, the Forex market, and the G&S market. In this section, we use the AA-DD model to assess the effects of monetary policy in a fixed exchange rate system. Recall from Chapter 7 \"\"Interest Rate Determination\"\" that the money supply is effectively controlled by a country’s central bank. In the case of the United States, this is the Federal Reserve Board, or the Fed. When the money supply increases due to action taken by the central bank, we refer to it as expansionary monetary policy. If the central bank acts to reduce the money supply, it is referred to as contractionary monetary policy. Methods that can be used to change the money supply are discussed in Chapter 7 \"\"Interest Rate Determination\"\", Section 7.5 \"\"Controlling the Money Supply\"\". Expansionary Monetary Policy Suppose the United States fixes its exchange rate to the British pound at the rate Ē $/£. This is indicated in Figure 12.1 \"\"Expansionary Monetary Policy with a Fixed Exchange Rate\"\" as a horizontal line drawn at Ē $/£.

"text": "Ceteris Paribus in economics Tejvan Pettinger June 28, 2017Definition of ceteris paribus Ceteris paribus is a Latin phrase meaning ‘all other things remaining equal’The concept of ceteris paribus is important in economics because in the real world it is usually hard to isolate all the different variables. Assuming ceteris paribus allows us to simplify economics – we can understand how something like higher price will affect – demand – ignoring all other factors which might complicate the outcome. Example of Ceteris Paribus in Economics An increase in interest rates will ‘ceteris paribus’ cause the demand for loans to fall. ( Higher interest rates increase the cost of borrowing so there will be less demand for loans. However, if confidence was high, people might still want to borrow more. Ceteris paribus assumes things like confidence remain the same. ) Ceteris paribus – higher oil prices should lead to less demand for oil. Ceteris paribus – higher interest rates should lead to lower economic growth. Ceteris paribus – higher prices of coffee should encourage growers to try and increase the supply of coffee. Importance of ceteris paribus In the real world, it is very hard to isolate only one factor."

"text": "Dr. Barry Haworth University of Louisville Department of Economics Economics 202Understanding the Consumer Price Index The consumer price index is obtained by dividing the expenditure on a set of consumer goods in one year (the current year) by the expenditure on that same set of goods in the base year. For example, let’s assume that consumer expenditure on a specific set of goods in the base year (1996) was $20,500 and, in 2004, consumer expenditure on that same set of goods was $25,000. We put these numbers together as $25,000/$20,500, which is 1.22. It is common to then multiply this result by 100, giving us a CPI of 122. Other CPI values are calculated in exactly the same manner, always dividing a given year’s expenditure by that of the base year. Note that we’ll always be dividing the current year expenditure for any given year (or period) by the same number. This implies that if we calculate the CPI for the base year we divide base year expenditure by base year expenditure, making the base year CPI always equal to 100.1. Interpreting our result Because the true rate of inflation cannot be observed, we can use the CPI (and similar price indexes) to help us approximate the true inflation rate. Our (fictitious) CPI value for 2004 is 122, and in 1996 is 100. Calculating the percentage change in the CPI between these two years gives us our approximation of the inflation rate."

"text": "\"Ceteris Paribus Laws First published Mon Mar 14, 2011; substantive revision Mon Jun 22, 2015Laws of nature take center stage in philosophy of science. Laws are usually believed to stand in a tight conceptual relation to many important key concepts such as causation, explanation, confirmation, determinism, counterfactuals etc. Traditionally, philosophers of science have focused on physical laws, which were taken to be at least true, universal statements that support counterfactual claims. But, although this claim about laws might be true with respect to physics, laws in the special sciences (such as biology, psychology, economics etc.) appear to have—maybe not surprisingly—different features than the laws of physics. Special science laws—for instance, the economic law “Under the condition of perfect competition, an increase of demand of a commodity leads to an increase of price, given that the quantity of the supplied commodity remains constant” and, in biology, Mendel's Laws—are usually taken to “have exceptions”, to be “non-universal” or “to be ceteris paribus laws”. How and whether the laws of physics and the laws of the special sciences differ is one of the crucial questions motivating the debate on ceteris paribus laws. Another major, controversial question concerns the determination of the precise meaning of “ceteris paribus”. Philosophers have attempted to explicate the meaning of ceteris paribus clauses in different ways. The question of meaning is connected to the problem of empirical content, i.e., the question whether ceteris paribus laws have non-trivial and empirically testable content."

Definition of Ceteris Paribus To understand the law of demand, the law of supply, and many other important economic concepts, it's important that you first understand the term ceteris paribus. Ceteris paribus is the commonly used Latin phrase meaning 'all other things remaining constant.' When using ceteris paribus in economics, it is often safe to assume that all other variables, except those under immediate consideration, are held constant. Why Is It Important in Economics? The concept of ceteris paribus is important in economics because, in the real world, it's usually hard to isolate all the different variables that may influence or change the outcome of what you are studying and how an individual might make a decision."

"text": "\"Education & Reference Trivia What does the symbol of fleur-de-lis mean? What is its origin?1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Fleur-de-lis is literally translated from French as \"\"flower of the lily\"\", and is widely thought to be a stylized version of the species Iris pseudacorus. Decorative ornaments that resemble the fleur-de-lis have appeared in the artwork from the earliest civilizations. \"\" The use for ornamental or symbolic purposes of the stylised flower usually called fleur de lis is common to all eras and all civilizations. It is an essentially graphic theme found on Mesopotamian cylinders, Egyptian bas-reliefs, Mycenean potteries, Sassanid textiles, Gaulish coins, Mameluk coins, Indonesian clothes, Japanese emblems and Dogon totems. The many writers who have discussed the topic agree that it has little to do graphically with the lily, but disagree on whether it derives from the iris, the broom, the lotus or the furze, or whether it represents a trident, an arrowhead, a double axe, or even a dove or a pigeon. It is in our opinion a problem of little importance. The essential point is that it is a very stylised figure, probably a flower, that has been used as an ornament or an emblem by almost all civilizations of the old and new worlds.\"\" It has consistently been used as a royal emblem, though different cultures have interpreted its meaning in varying ways. Gaulish coins show the first designs which look similar to modern fleurs-de-lis."

"text": "Fleur-de-lis Fleur-de-lis is a symbol that depicts a stylized lily or iris flower. Derived from French 'fleur' and 'lis', the word is literally translated in English to 'flower of lily' and the symbol signifies life, light and perfection. The symbol has been traditionally used to represent the French royalty. Legend says that when the Merovingian king of the Franks, Clovis converted to Christianity, he was presented with a golden lily by an angel to symbolize his purification. It is also claimed that the symbol was adopted by Clovis when the waterlilies helped him cross a river safely to go on to succeed in battle. Fleur-de-lis lends itself to several meanings and is simultaneously dynastic, political, emblematic, religious, symbolic and artistic, especially from French heraldry point of view. However, it can also been found much before the heraldic times in places as far away as Mesopotamia. Used as a decorative element, it came to be associated with royalty. The symbol has even appeared as an emblem on 10th century seals and coins. By virtue of having three petals, it has also been accorded religious significance and is said to be representative of the Holy Trinity and thus, purity."

Walloon ( Walon in Walloon) is a Romance language that is spoken as a primary language in large portions (70%) of Wallonia in Belgium, in some villages of Northern France (near Givet) and in the northeast part of Wisconsin [3] until the mid 20th century and in some parts of Canada [ citation needed]. It belongs to the langue d'oïl language family, whose most prominent member is the French language. The historical background of its formation was the territorial extension since 980 of the Principality of Liège to the south and west. Despite its rich literature, beginning anonymously in the 16th century and with well-known authors since 1756, the use of Walloon has decreased markedly since France's annexation of Wallonia in 1795. This period definitively established French as the language of social promotion, far more than it was before. [ 4] After World War I, public schools provided French-speaking education to all children, inducing a denigration of Walloon, especially when accompanied by official orders in 1952 to punish its use in schools. Subsequently, since the middle of the 20th century, generational transmission of the language has decreased, resulting in Walloon almost becoming a dead language. Today it is scarcely spoken among younger people."

"text": "\"The Fleur-de-lis In Heraldry and In History Variations on the Fleur-de-lis The Legend The English translation of \"\"fleur-de-lis\"\" (sometimes spelled \"\"fleur-de-lys\"\") is \"\"flower of the lily.\"\" This symbol has been described by some as depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, but other historians attribute its origin to a species of wild iris, the Iris pseudacorus. ( See Wikipedia article. ) Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life. Legend has it that an angel presented Clovis, the Merovingian king of the Franks, with a golden lily (or iris) as a symbol of his purification upon his conversion to Christianity. Others claim that Clovis adopted the symbol when waterlilies showed him how to safely cross a river and thus succeed in battle. The History In the twelfth century, either King Louis VI or King Louis VII (sources disagree) became the first French monarch to use the fleur-de-lis on his shield. English kings later used the symbol on their coats of arms to emphasize their claims to the throne of France. In the 14th century, the fleur-de-lis was often incorporated into the family insignia that was sewn on the knight's surcoat, which was worn over their coat of mail, thus the term, \"\"coat of arms.\"\" The original purpose of identification in battle developed into a system of social status designations after 1483 when King Edmund IV established the Heralds' College to supervise the granting of armor insignia."

"text": "Primary Significance: faith, hope, wisdom, courage, and admiration. With striking uniqueness and beauty, irises have rich meanings, and when given as gifts, they can convey deep sentiments. With over 200 varieties in a wide spectrum of colors, the iris, which fittingly takes its name from the Greek word for “rainbow,” can be found in virtually every part of the world, growing both naturally and in farms. While garden irises can come in any of these many varieties, the flower’s cut versions are mostly blue (the most popular type), white, and yellow. The iris’s history is rich, dating back to Ancient Greek times when the Greek Goddess Iris, the messenger of the gods and the personification of the rainbow, acted as the link between heaven and earth. Purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the Goddess to guide the dead in their journey. Ancient Egyptian kings marveled in the iris’s exotic nature, and drawings have been found of the flower in a number of Egyptian palaces. During the Middle Ages, the meaning of irises became linked to the French monarchy, and the Fleur-de-lis eventually became the recognized national symbol of France. From their earliest years, irises were used to make perfume and as a medicinal remedy. Today, they are primarily seen in gardens, in bouquets, and in the wild all over the world."

"text": "Although some may seem straightforward at first glance, many NFL team logos have a rich history. Numerous teams have tinkered with their original logo by changing colors or a particular image — though all have generally maintained the same theme and tradition since their formation. Courtesy of Giphy Football fans immediately associate a team’s logo with that team, often without thinking what exactly that logo is or how it came about. Especially with the Super Bowl this weekend, it’s as good a time as any to dig into some of the NFL team logos and their meanings:1. Pittsburgh Steelers Courtesy of NFLThe origins of the Steelers’ logo and name tie in with the city of Pittsburgh’s history of heavy industry. The city saw its steel and iron industries develop quickly in the 1830’s, becoming one of the nation’s strongest producers by 1860. On the left is the Steelmark logo, which was representative of the American Iron and Steel Institute. It contains three diamond shapes (hypocycloids). The team used the logo in a marketing campaign to educate consumers regarding the integral nature of steel. In 1969, they implemented the three materials needed to produce steel — orange represents ore, yellow represents coal, and blue represents steel scrap."

"text": "\"Glossary of French expressions in English From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from C'est la vie (phrase))navigation search Around 45% [1] of English vocabulary is of French origin, most coming from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. Thoroughly English words of French origin, such as art, competition, force, machine, money, police, publicity, role, routine and table, are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French, and are commonly used by English speakers without any consciousness of their French origin. This article, on the other hand, covers French words and phrases that have entered the English lexicon without ever losing their character as Gallicisms: they remain unmistakably \"\"French\"\" to an English speaker. They are most common in written English, where they retain French diacritics and are usually printed in italics. In spoken English, at least some attempt is generally made to pronounce them as they would sound in French; an entirely English pronunciation is regarded as a solecism. Some of them were never \"\"good French\"\", in the sense of being grammatical, idiomatic French usage. Some others were once normal French but have become very old-fashioned, or have acquired different meanings and connotations in the original language, to the extent that they would not be understood (either at all, or in the intended sense) by a native French speaker.

"title": "http://www.flowerexperts.com/meaning_of_the_iris.asp\nThe Rainbow Goddess: The Meaning of the Iris",
"text": "The Rainbow Goddess: The Meaning of the Irisby The Editor on June 30th Like a great many flowers – see the lily for example – the mythology behind the Iris dates back to the ancient Greek civilisation, when flowers were often granted symbolic status as the emblems, or even the personifications, of gods or goddesses. The iris, a pretty flower with a somewhat otherworldly appearance, means ‘rainbow’. And ceraintly the iris can be found in a wide array of different colours. Blue, white and yellow are the most enduringly popular among cut flower enthusiasts, but there are many more out there to be found. Its roots in Greek culture come from a goddess which shared the flower’s name. Iris was the link between the world of the living and the world of the gods. In a notable parallel to Norse mythology, where the rainbow was the bridge between Asgard, home of the gods, and Midgard, home of men, Iris was seen as the personification of the rainbow. As her flower, the iris thus symbolises the link between the heavens and the earth. Iris was not one of the ‘Twelve Olympians’ – those most important Greek gods and Goddesses who dwelled on the peak of mount Olympus. This is probably because her role had a certain overlap with that of Hermes, the messenger of the gods."

I wouldn't worry too much about the younger rabbits yet. They're still growing a lot and sometimes the weight varies because some just grow a lot faster than others. One of my rabbits was significantly smaller than the other one when they were young, even though they were from the same litter. Now they're both very close in weight.

"text": "Lack of Prosecution (LOP) Law and Legal Definition LOP stands for Lack of Prosecution. Generally Dismissal for lack of prosecution occurs when the court closes a case as nothing has been filed within a specified period of time. The court presumes that as there is no record of activity the party does not wish to pursue the case. The time of inactivity varies according to state laws. For example lack of prosecution can occur when no service of process has been made and certified to the court within the time specified or when no responsive pleadings has been filed and the plaintiff has not moved for entry of default within the time specified, after the time for filing responsive pleadings has expired. Usually the case is dismissed without prejudice so that the party can re-file the case. Example of a State Statute (Pennsylvania) on lack of prosecution E. D. Pa. Handbook COURTROOM DEPUTY CLERKS says***After a case is filed, the courtroom deputy clerk checks the docket for timely service of process and the filing of an answer. If service has not been made within 90 days, a letter will be sent by the courtroom deputy clerk asking that service be made by the 120th day. If service has been made but the complaint has not been answered, again a letter will be sent by the courtroom deputy requesting counsel to motion for judgment by default. Please do not ignore these notices."

"text": "\"These two key measurements can tell us a lot about what's going on inside our cylinders.by Mike Busch My column last month talked about the fact that our piston aircraft engines convert only about one-third of the energy contained in avgas into useful energy to the propeller. About half the fuel's energy goes out the exhaust pipe, while the remaining one-sixth is transferred to the cooling air that passes over the cylinder fins and through the oil cooler. The wasted energy is measured and displayed on a triad of cockpit gauges: oil tempera-ture, cylinder head temperature, and exhaust gas temperature. The one-third that actually makes it to the propeller is reflected on another cockpit instrument: the airspeed indicator. CHT vs. EGTFrom a powerplant management perspective, it's crucial to understand that CHT and EGT tell us quite different things about what's going on inside the engine. CHT mainly reflects what's going on in the cylinder during the Otto cycle power stroke before the exhaust valve opens, while EGT mainly reflects what's going on during the exhaust stroke after the exhaust valve opens: CHT measures heat energy wasted during the power stroke, when the cylinder is under maximum stress from high internal pressures and temperatures. EGT measures heat energy wasted during the exhaust stroke, when the cylinder is under relatively low stress. High CHTs generally indicate that the engine is under excessive stress for its own good. That's why it's so important to manage the powerplant in a fashion that limits CHTs to a tolerable value. For Bonanzas and Barons, a reasonable rule-of-thumb is that optimum engine longevity is achieved by limiting CHTs to 380°F."

I used to have a rabbit when I was 1 year old and she lived for 12 years (died when I was 13, which was 1 year ago). My rabbit was a social bug because she would always want my company and since no one was usually home my rabbit got very lonely.

The American Rabbit Breeders Association currently accepts five varieties, and new lop-eared rabbit breeds are constantly being bred. Lop-eared rabbits are very popular with house rabbit owners, but sometimes their characteristic ears also need a little extra attention. Make sure your lop's ears are clean on both the inside and the outside since these ears can be prone to a build-up of debris.01of 08French Lop Eared Rabbits Catherine Ledner/Stone/Getty Images One of the largest breeds of lop-eared rabbits, the French lop was developed in France by crossing two existing breeds of lops. French lops weigh in at around 10 pounds and have ears that hang below the jaw and reach over a foot long. They should be housed in a large outdoor enclosure with a companion rabbit or indoors with plenty of space to exercise. These are not the most commonly seen type of pet lop but their ears are impressive to see if you ever get the chance to meet one.02of 08Mini Lop Eared Rabbits Getty Images/Diana Haronis dianasphotoart.com Not to be confused with the United Kingdom's dwarf lop or miniature lop, the mini lop is the second smallest lop-eared variety in the United States. The mini lop is very popular at rabbit shows and can weigh up to 6.5 pounds (larger than many people imagine a mini lop to get). Housing requirements are not as demanding as the larger lop varieties according to the Mini Lop Rabbit Club of America. These lops are very commonly found as house rabbits.03of 08English Lop Eared Rabbits Getty Images/Steve Shott One of the two pre-existing lop-eared rabbit breeds used to create French Lops, English Lops are the original lops."

"text": "Dinar Redenomination To Cost Iraq Billions September 11, 2012 in Investment The process of scrapping old dinars and deleting zeros from Iraq’s currency to replace it with more manageable numbers could cost the country billions, according to Ahmed Faizullah, the deputy chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee. Redenominating is up to Iraq’s central bank, but it would cause chaos for government by redenominating after it has set an annual budget in the existing denomination. That’s why no redenomination will take place in 2013 and maybe 2014 as well. Removing zeroes makes it easier print money, read it and add it up, and reduces the need to cart around too many notes to pay for goods and services in a country that relies almost wholly on cash. Iraq puts just 1% of all its transactions on credit card. Although cutting zeros adds to costs and confusion, Faizullah says: “It is basically the process of currency switching and common people will take some time to get used to it. That is all. ”As Fabil Nabi, Iraq’s deputy finance minister, helpfully confirmed for some confused, amateur currency investors, “eliminating zeros from Iraq’s currency will not increase the value of Iraqi dinars. ”Read more on the dinar redenomination:7 Questions For Dinar Speculators Iraqi Dinar Investments: Opportunity Or Scam?

"text": "\"The Virtue of Prudence DOUGLAS MCMANAMANThe mould and mother of all the virtues is prudence. It is defined as the intellectual virtue which rightly directs particular human acts, through rectitude of the appetite, toward a good end. Emotional well-being, we will argue, comes about through a certain structuring of the entire network of human emotions, one that results from a proper disposing of the emotions by the virtues. If we are correct, then prudence is the mother of emotional health. And if virtue is the secret to looking beautiful, then prudence is, in many ways, the mother of beautiful character. For it is prudence that determines the mean of reason in all human actions and situations. Prudence, however, is not merely an intellectual virtue; it is also a moral virtue. A moral virtue is a habit that makes its possessor good. One may be brilliant and learned without being morally good, but it is not possible to be prudent and not morally good. The prudent man is one who does the good, as opposed to one who merely knows the good."

On this page Virtue ethics Print this page Virtue ethics Character-based ethics A right act is the action a virtuous person would do in the same circumstances. Virtue ethics is person rather than action based: it looks at the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions. Virtue ethics not only deals with the rightness or wrongness of individual actions, it provides guidance as to the sort of characteristics and behaviours a good person will seek to achieve. In that way, virtue ethics is concerned with the whole of a person's life, rather than particular episodes or actions. A good person is someone who lives virtuously - who possesses and lives the virtues. It's a useful theory since human beings are often more interested in assessing the character of another person than they are in assessing the goodness or badness of a particular action. This suggests that the way to build a good society is to help its members to be good people, rather than to use laws and punishments to prevent or deter bad actions. But it wouldn't be helpful if a person had to be a saint to count as virtuous."

Related to negligence: Medical negligence Negligence Conduct that falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of othersagainst unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed fromthe conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances. In order to establish negligence as a Cause of Action under the law of torts, a plaintiff must provethat the defendant had a duty to the plaintiff, the defendant breached that duty by failing to conform to the required standard of conduct, the defendant's negligent conduct was the cause of the harm to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff was, in fact, harmed or damaged. The concept of negligence developed under English Law. Although English Common Law hadlong imposed liability for the wrongful acts of others, negligence did not emerge as an independentcause of action until the eighteenth century. Another important concept emerged at that time: legalliability for a failure to act. Originally liability for failing to act was imposed on those who undertook to perform some service and breached a promise to exercise care or skill in performing that service. Gradually the law began to imply a promise to exercise care or skill in the performance of certainservices. This promise to exercise care, whether express or implied, formed the origins of themodern concept of \"\"duty.\"\""

Comment: In Scripture the word overseer refers to both ruling and teaching elders. In other words, the qualifications listed in 1 Timothy 3.2-7 apply to both ministers of the Word as well as the other elders who shepherd the flock under their care. The word “must” means that these qualifications are essential. They are not merely helpful guidelines. All of these qualifications are mandatory. They are requirements which God has laid down for the office of elder in his church. No man may be an elder in the church of God unless he meets all of these qualifications."

Separate, detached from others, individually distinct. Opposed to continuous. Both discreet and discrete derive from the same Latin word discretus, “separated, distinct.” Old French discret meant “discreet, sensible, intelligent, wise.” In the 17th century, the spelling discreet became attached to the sense of “careful” or “prudent.” The spelling discrete, used in such disciplines as philosophy, medicine, and music, retained the original Latin meaning of “separated. ”Examples of the incorrect uses of discreet and discrete:… but if this brief and discrete affair ever really happened it was never in the public eye…I just arrived in Dubai and was wondering if anyone knows of a discrete internet cafe, ideally with private rooms…I’ve always thought about breaking down ICs back to their discreet components Examples of correct uses of discreet and discrete: Sometimes people need to be discreet when it comes to the contacts in their i Phones."

Very broadly, medical malpractice is where a healthcare provider's treatment falls below the accepted standard of care for similarly situated professionals under the same or similar circumstances. In order for the malpractice to give rise to an actionable lawsuit, it must also cause harm and injury to the patient. If your head spun and your eyes glazed over reading that, then I will redefine \"\" medical malpractice \"\" for you in non-legal-speak as where a medical care provider fails to care for a patient in a reasonable manner under all of the circumstances, which in turn causes harm to the patient.

"text": "Occasionally, in a domestic violence situation between partners or spouses, the victim of an assault decides he or she does not want to press charges any longer. The victim goes to the police or to the local prosecutor and asks for domestic violence assault charges to be dropped. Will the charges be dropped? In most cases, no. The Prosecutor, Not the Victim, Is in the Driver's Seat Bringing Assault Charges Because the victim is not the party who first charged the defendant in the domestic violence assault, the fact that he or she wants to recant or dismiss the charges often means little to nothing to the prosecutor. The case is brought by the state. The prosecutor is the one who decides whether to move forward in the case against the defendant. So, technically the victim has no power to drop charges against an alleged aggressor because criminal charges in most states are only brought by members of law enforcement bodies. On public policy grounds alone, many jurisdictions have zero tolerance for domestic violence abuse. Localities subscribe to the logic that abuse will progressively worsen, and often those involved in the abusive situation are not in the best position to ascertain prudent next steps because of financial pressures, temporary reconciliations, or other pressures exerted by aggressors."

The highest legal duty of one party to another, it also involves being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests. A fiduciary might be responsible for general well-being, but often it involves finances – managing the assets of another person, or of a group of people, for example. Money managers, bankers, accountants, executors, board members, and corporate officers can all be considered fiduciaries. Next Up Prudent Expert Act Trustor Advisor Prudent Investor Rule BREAKING DOWN 'Fiduciary'A fiduciary's responsibilities or duties are both ethical and legal. When a party knowingly accepts a fiduciary duty on behalf of another party, he or she is required to act in the best interest of the principal, the party whose assets they are managing. The fiduciary is expected to manage the assets for the benefit of the other person rather than for his or her own profit, and cannot benefit personally from their management of assets. This is what is known as a prudent person standard of care, a standard that originally stems from an 1830 court ruling. This formulation of the prudent-person rule required that a person acting as fiduciary was required to act first and foremost with the needs of beneficiaries in mind. Strict care is taken to ensure no conflict of interest arises between the fiduciary and his principal."

"text": "\"Tweet Pin It You may have seen our earlier article on how rising interest rates affect real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are highly sensitive to interest rate movements due to the way they’re structured. However, many other assets are affected by interest rates as well. So how do interest rates affect them? In essence, interest rates act like gravity.“ Interest rates act like gravity on asset values – The higher the rate, the greater the downward pull. That’s because the rates of return that investors need from any kind of investment are directly tied to the risk-free rate that they can earn from government securities. So if the government rate rises, the prices of all other investments must adjust downward, to a level that brings their expected rates of return into line.” – Warren Buffett If you’ve been following the news recently, you would know that interest rates recently reached a 7-year high and investors are starting to get worried over interest rates.

When enough cars are on the road, prices go back down to normal levels. It’s important to know that you’ll always be notified in big, bold print if surge pricing is in effect. When rates are more than double, the surge confirmation screen also requires you to type in the specific surge multiplier to ensure you understand what rates to expect. Surge Pricing Surge pricing means that normal fare surges by the multiplier based on the demand for Uber service. Right now in Metro Manila, surge pricing ranges from 1.3x up to 4.0x the normal fare. This surging is determined by the algorithm of Uber (we think)."

"text": "\"Predicting the next move in the markets is the key to making money in trading, but putting this simple concept into action is much harder than it sounds. Professional forex traders have long known that trading currencies requires looking beyond the world of FX. The fact is that currencies are moved by many factors - supply and demand, politics, interest rates, economic growth, and so on. More specifically, since economic growth and exports are directly related to a country\\'s domestic industry, it is natural for some currencies to be heavily correlated with commodity prices. The top three currencies that have the tightest correlations with commodities are the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the New Zealand dollar. Other currencies that are also impacted by commodity prices but have a weaker correlation are the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen. Knowing which currency is correlated with what commodity can help traders understand and predict certain market movements. Here we look at currencies correlated with oil and gold and show you how you can use this information in your trading.

"text": "\"Davey Alba business 06.09.16 12:43 pm Uber Is Now Letting Passengers Schedule Rides in Advance Uber In Silicon Valley-speak, \"\"on demand\"\" means requesting a service—laundry, a ride, a massage—right now. All you have to do is push that button. But of course you still have to wait for the ride to come; no one has figured out (yet) how to make it materialize out of thin air. Now Uber wants to approximate that feeling by letting you schedule your ride ahead of time. When you need it, goes the idea, your ride just appears. Starting today, business travelers in Seattle will be able to schedule rides 30 minutes to 30 days in advance. It's the first step in what the company says will be a global rollout of the feature. \"\" Even though we're an on-demand company, we totally get it,\"\" says Tom Fallows, Uber's director of global experiences. \"\" Sometimes you just want that extra reassurance that your Uber will be there when you want to leave. \"\" After tapping on Uber X in the Uber app, users will see a new option to schedule a ride to within a 15-minute window."

During periods of excessive demand or scarce supply, when there are far more riders than drivers, Uber increases its normal fares with a multiplier whose value depends on scarcity of available drivers. This so-called surge pricing uses microeconomics to calculate a market price for riders and drivers alike. The goal of surge pricing is to find the “equilibrium price” at which driver supply matches rider demand and riders’ wait time is minimized. Studies show that surge pricing achieves what it was designed to do: it brings more drivers online, and it allocates available rides to those who value them more. Yet surge pricing has a major image problem. Hardly anyone has a good thing to say about it, and far too many people equate it with price gouging. This is a huge headache for Uber. Its key differentiator is flexibility and the convenience it provides riders, and surge pricing is essential to delivering these benefits. Concerns about surge pricing stem from the way in which it is structured and also from how it is explained to consumers. These factors lead to rider dissatisfaction and lots of bad press."

"title": "https://www.britannica.com/topic/productivity\nProductivity",
"text": "Productivity, in economics, the ratio of what is produced to what is required to produce it. Usually this ratio is in the form of an average, expressing the total output of some category of goods divided by the total input of, say, labour or raw materials. In principle, any input can be used in the denominator of the productivity ratio. Thus, one can speak of the productivity of land, labour, capital, or subcategories of any of these factors of production. One may also speak of the productivity of a certain type of fuel or raw material or may combine inputs to determine the productivity of labour and capital together or of all factors combined. The latter type of ratio is called “total factor” or “multifactor” productivity, and changes in it over time reflect the net saving of inputs per unit of output and thus increases in productive efficiency. It is sometimes also called the residual, since it reflects that portion of the growth of output that is not explained by increases in measured inputs. The partial productivity ratios of output to single inputs reflect not only changing productive efficiency but also the substitution of one factor for another—e.g., capital goods or energy for labour. Labour is by far the most common of the factors used in measuring productivity."

"text": "Producer Price Increases Slow Zacks Equity Research January 20, 2010XOM CVXTrades from $ 3Read More The Producer Price Index ( PPI) rose in December by 0.2% on a headline basis, and was unchanged after you strip out volatile food and energy prices to get the core index. This is down sharply from November when they rose 1.8% on headline and 0.5% on a core basis. However, the deflationary readings of a year ago are starting to roll off, so the year-over-year change in the Producer Price Index rose to 4.4% from 2.4% in November. That tells you much more about a year ago -- when the economy was on the edge of the cliff -- than it does about conditions today. In addition to the numbers for finished goods (referred to above), the report also looks further up the production chain, at intermediate and crude goods. To tell the difference between the three stages of production, think Bread (Finished), Flour (Intermediate) and Wheat (Crude). Both of the earlier stages showed bigger increases than did finished goods in December, but both are down sharply from the November rate of increase. In December intermediate goods producer prices rose 0.5%, but that is down from a 1.4% increase in November while crude goods prices increased by 1.0% in December after a 5.4% increase in November. On a year-over-year basis, intermediate goods are up 3.0% while crude goods are up 12.3%. Crude goods are essentially commodities, and as such their prices tend to be far more volatile than those of finished goods, so the more extreme readings there are not a real surprise."

"text": "The Rise and Rise of Uber in Australia15. Jan / Pocketbook Data / No Comments Uber launched in Australia 2 years ago, in October 2012. If you haven’t heard of it, here’s a quick recap. Uber is a car ride-sharing service backed by Google – it allows you use its app to catch a ride from one of its drivers. Just about anyone with a car can be a driver – not just taxis, but also serviced cars and even ordinary people (like this ). The benefit for the average person is simple. Because drivers don’t need to pay for expensive taxi licenses, Uber rides are generally cheaper than taxis (or so they claim). For taxi drivers, they get the benefit of additional jobs, when they used to just wait at the rank. However, the taxi industry has been at logger-heads with Uber entering the market. Taxi drivers protested against the service in Perth and the Government is cracking down on Uber’s drivers in Adelaide, NSW and Victoria."

"text": "\"Answer by RUTHCH Confidence votes 9Sanford Clark received a \"\"mercy sentence\"\" of five years for his association with serial killer Gordon Stewart Northcott, benefiting from the very humane and forward-thinking treatment provided at the Whittier School for Boys. He began serving his time in 1928 at the age of fifteen. After two years there, attending school and trade class every day, he was released and sent back to Saskatchewan, Canada. He rejoined his sister Jessie, who was four years older and who nearly lost her life in her heroic bid to have him rescued from the Wineville murder ranch. Her support and faith in him helped him to begin reconstructing his life. Sanford's determination to live an honorable, \"\"normal life\"\" was strengthened by his gratitude to Assistant Prosecutor Loyal C. Kelley, who arranged for Sanford's humane treatment and light sentence because Kelley intuitively understood Stockholm Syndrome before it was ever officially recognized or given a name. Sanford fit every criteria for that terrible mental state -- with the exception of idolizing one's captor, which he never did. Back in Canada, Sanford worked as a laborer throughout the Great Depression, slowly earning back the trust and respect of his community, until he met and eventually married June Mc Ginnis. Once June got to know him she refused to believe that he would ever willingly play any part in the Wineville crimes, and she became his most steadfast supporter. They remained married and intensely devoted to one another for fifty-five years until June's death from a stroke."

( June 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Selah ( / ˈ s iː l ə / or / ˈ s iː l ə h / with pronounced audible H; Hebrew: סֶלָה , also transliterated as selāh) is a word used seventy-four times in the Hebrew Bible —seventy-one times in the Psalms and three times in Habakkuk. [ 1] The meaning of the word is not known, though various interpretations are given below. ( It should not be confused with the Hebrew word sela` ( Hebrew: סֶלַע ) which means \"\"rock\"\", or in an adjectival form, \"\"like a rock\"\", i.e. : firm, hard, heavy) It is probably either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of the text, something like \"\"stop and listen.\"\" Selah can also be used to indicate that there is to be a musical interlude at that point in the Psalm. [ 2] The Amplified Bible translates selah as \"\"pause, and think of that.\"\" It can also be interpreted as a form of underlining in preparation for the next paragraph. At least some of the Psalms were sung accompanied by musical instruments and there are references to this in many chapters."

"text": "The Meisner Community: List of Meisner-Based Actors This is a first introduction to a series of posts on the Meisner community and its teachers and actors I intend to write, starting with what I think is a pretty cool list of actors who have trained with some of the prominent Meisner teachers. Sanford “Sandy” Meisner taught several generations of actors, and he also taught a number of people who became quite effective and dynamic Meisner teachers in their own right. In addition to teachers who still teach Meisner Technique at the Neighborhood Playhouse where Meisner taught for many years, William Espers is among the most prominent Meisner teachers in New York, and he also runs the theatre program at Rutgers University. Maggie Flanigan and several other teachers and their professional students are also on my list, as you will see, as well as one of my own teachers, Tim Phillips, a student of Robert Patterson, whose version of Meisner Technique I studied in New York many years ago with several teachers. Since that time, I myself have taught for almost 28 years, both in New York City and Washington, D. C. So I am interested in who is around who studied with Meisner or with Meisner-based teachers and programs. One of my main reasons for this interest is a fun study habit I have had over the years, tracing actors who are students of Meisner Technique, and catching their performances on stage and film. I’m a big fan, as you can see from my other blog posts, of Meisner-based character work, and I especially enjoy watching the same actor do several different roles, watching them in a row, and see what they brought to each role and each character. This interest is not confined to Meisner actors, though it’s a professional focus for me. I recently enjoyed watching several film performances of Shirley Knight, a Method actor, and one of my favorite actors of any kind. I saw her on stage a few years back in a little-promoted role Off-Broadway — how much fun was that?"

Wilson played Lamont through the run of the series, and in fact became the de facto star when Redd Foxx walked off the show in 1974 and his character was written out for the rest of the season.

Roach Production companies Imagine Entertainment Malpaso Productions Relativity Media Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date October 24, 2008Running time 142 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $55 million Box office $113 million Changeling is a 2008 American mystery crime drama film directed, co-produced and scored by Clint Eastwood and written by J. Michael Straczynski, [1] that explores child endangerment, female disempowerment, political corruption, mistreatment of mental health patients, and the repercussions of violence. The script was based on real-life events, specifically the 1928 Wineville Chicken Coop Murders in Mira Loma, California. The film stars Angelina Jolie as a woman reunited with a boy whom she immediately realizes is not her missing son. When she tries to demonstrate this to the police and city authorities, she is vilified as delusional, labeled as an unfit mother, and then confined to a psychiatric ward. Straczynski spent a year researching the story after hearing about the Wineville Chicken Coop case from a contact at Los Angeles City Hall. Almost all of the film's script was drawn from thousands of pages of documentation. [ Note 1] His first draft became the shooting script; it was his first film screenplay to be produced. Ron Howard had intended to direct the film, but scheduling conflicts led to his replacement by Eastwood."

But you might be able to put on the brakes. \"\" You can stop a repo,\"\" says Kimberly Schenk, who, along with her husband Richard, runs Northern Asset Recovery, a northern Michigan repo company. But many consumers who are scared, embarrassed or simply not sure what to do, ignore calls and letters from the bank, which is the wrong move. \"\" The key is to communicate with the lender,\"\" Schenk says. A repo will tank your credit If you want to salvage your credit, you've got to steer clear of a repo, says Wayne Sanford, a credit expert and owner of New Start Financial, a Texas credit consulting company. \"\" A car repo is very damaging to your credit,\"\" he says. Here's how repo can hurt your score: Late payments. A lender can repossess your vehicle only after you've defaulted on the loan -- the specifics will be spelled out in the contract you signed when you got the loan for your car, van or truck, according to the Federal Trade Commission's guide to vehicle repossession.

The billionaire real estate magnate and former reality star needed an almost perfect run through the swing states -- and he got it, winning Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. The Republican swept to victory over Hillary Clinton in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics to pull off a remarkable upset. Clinton conceded to Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Speaking at a victory party in New York, Trump was gracious toward Clinton and called for unity. \"\" We owe (Clinton) a very major debt of gratitude to her for her service to our country,\"\" Trump said. \"\" I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. \"\" He added: \"\"I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans. \"\" Trump won with 289 electoral votes compared to 218 for Clinton, according to CNN projections.

"text": "\"Obituaries La Wanda Page, 81; Actress Played Aunt Esther in 'Sanford and Son'September 17, 2002 | MYRNA OLIVER | TIMES STAFF WRITERLa Wanda Page, comedic character actress best known for her role as the Bible-thumping Aunt Esther in the 1970s television hit \"\"Sanford and Son,\"\" has died. She was 81. Page died Saturday in Centinela Hospital in Los Angeles of complications from diabetes. \"\" La Wanda lived the life she loved, and loved the life she lived,\"\" said Donald Welch, who wrote and directed a comedy gospel musical in which Page starred, \"\"Take It to the Lord ... Or Else.\"\" He said Page had often used the phrase as a soothing accolade when close friends died. Born in Cleveland and reared in St. Louis, Page began her career as a dancer and chorus girl billed as \"\"the Bronze Goddess of Fire.\"\" She soon became adept at stand-up comedy. But her greatest fame began in her 50s, when childhood friend Redd Foxx asked her to join his Norman Lear sitcom adapted from the British series \"\"Steptoe and Son.\"\" Page signed on as Fred Sanford's crusty sister-in-law, Esther Anderson, in 1973 and stayed until the series ended with Foxx's departure in 1977. As proprietor of the run-down Sanford Arms rooming house next door to Sanford's junkyard, Aunt Esther was constantly at odds with Fred over his lifestyle, his business and how he treated his grown son, Lamont, played by Demond Wilson."

After weeks of devastating headlines, the Republican nominee seemed to give himself a break. He largely avoided incessant talk about allegations of sexual assault by multiple women and claims that the election is rigged -- both of which made wavering Republicans nervous. Michelle Obama fires up North Carolina crowd for Hillary Clinton The drumbeat of Wiki Leaks disclosures yielded material to lambast Hillary Clinton and her family's foundation. And news of rising Obamacare premiums gave him an opening to criticize President Barack Obama's legacy that Clinton is running to inherit. Trump edged up in some state surveys and CNN moved two crucial states -- Florida and Nevada -- from lean Democratic to battleground status on its electoral map. But 11 days before the election, Trump is down six points in CNN's Poll of Polls. His path to the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the presidency remains daunting and it will be tough to overcome the deficit in the remaining time. Trump seemed to acknowledge the challenges Thursday.

"text": "What is Homologous Recombination? Print Email Save Image Credit: web-books.com Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination in which nucleotide (molecules which are joined make the structural units of RNA and DNA) sequences are exchanged between two similar or identical molecules of DNA. Genetic recombination is a process by which usually a DNA molecule, but it can also be an RNA molecule, is broken down and then joined to a different DNA moledule. Homologous recombination is most widely used by cells to accurately repair harmful breaks that occur on both strands of DNA, known as double strand molecule. It also produces new combinations of DNA during meiosis, the process by which organisms make sperm cells and egg cells in animals. Theses new combinations of DNA represent genetic variations in offspring (organisms produced from their parents) which in turn enables the offspring to adapt during the course of evolution. Homologous recombination is also used in horizontal gene transfer to exchange genetic material between species of bacteria and viruses. Horizontal gene transfer is any process in which an organism picks up genetic material from another organism without being the offspring of that organism.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A current model of meiotic recombination, initiated by a double-strand break or gap, followed by pairing with an homologous chromosome and strand invasion to initiate the recombinational repair process. Repair of the gap can lead to crossover (CO) or non-crossover (NCO) of the flanking regions. CO recombination is thought to occur by the Double Holliday Junction (DHJ) model, illustrated on the right, above. NCO recombinants are thought to occur primarily by the Synthesis Dependent Strand Annealing (SDSA) model, illustrated on the left, above. Most recombination events appear to be the SDSA type. Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. In eukaryotes, genetic recombination during meiosis can lead to a novel set of genetic information that can be passed on from the parents to the offspring. Most recombination is naturally occurring. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes."

"text": "Mendel’s Laws of Heredity Mendel formed the Laws of Heredity (the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment) from his pea plant experiments. Learning Objectives Discuss the methods Mendel utilized in his research that led to his success in understanding the process of inheritance Key Takeaways Key Points By crossing purple and white pea plants, Mendel found the offspring were purple rather than mixed, indicating one color was dominant over the other. Mendel’s Law of Segregation states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment states the inheritance of one pair of factors ( genes ) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair. If the two alleles are identical, the individual is called homozygous for the trait; if the two alleles are different, the individual is called heterozygous. Mendel cross-bred dihybrids and found that traits were inherited independently of each other. Key Termshomozygous: of an organism in which both copies of a given gene have the same alleleheterozygous: of an organism which has two different alleles of a given geneallele: one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome Introduction Mendelian inheritance (or Mendelian genetics or Mendelism) is a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent organisms to their children; it underlies much of genetics. The tenets were initially derived from the work of Gregor Mendel published in 1865 and 1866, which was “re-discovered” in 1900; they were initially very controversial, but they soon became the core of classical genetics. The laws of inheritance were derived by Gregor Mendel, a 19th century monk conducting hybridization experiments in garden peas ( Pisum sativum ). Between 1856 and 1863, he cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants."

"text": "Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics (Second Edition)2013, Pages 252–256Unequal Crossing Over J. M. Mercer Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-374984-0.01604-1 Get rights and content Abstract Unequal crossing-over (UCO) occurs when distinct loci similar in sequence undergo homologous recombination. UCO was inferred from a series of experiments on the Bar locus in Drosophila melanogaster, demonstrating that crossing-over occurred in conjunction with Bar locus mutations. The process may result in duplication and deletion of genetic material, formation of chimeric genes, and the generation of mobile extrachromosomal elements. Contemporary studies of newly abundant genomic data show multicellular genomes to be filled with gene families whose formation can best be understood through UCO. Primates have been found to have substantial copy number variation (CNV) generated through nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR), a type of UCO that occurs among highly similar sequences. The genetic variation produced is substantial, exceeding even single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a per-base-pair basis. That variation has major genetic disease-generating capability but also provides new variation for evolutionary processes. UCO plays a central role in chromosomal rearrangements (inversions, translocations), gene duplication, and tandem duplication of functional and structural modules especially in multicellular organisms, generation of gene families, and generation of mobile genetic materials such as exons – all important sources of the genetic variation necessary for evolution. Keywords Alu elements; Bar; Concerted evolution; Copy number variants; Gene duplication; Genetic disease; Homologous recombination; Internal gene duplication; Mobile exons; Tandem repeats; Unequal crossing-over Introduction Unequal crossing-over (UCO) occurs when distinct loci similar in sequence undergo homologous recombination during the pachytene stage of meiosis I and occasionally during mitosis. UCO usually occurs between misaligned chromatids on homologous chromosomes, but may also occur at much lower frequencies between sister chromatids, for example, 10–20 times less frequently in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for a pair of duplicated HIS4 loci."

Figure Detail DNA recombination involves the exchange of genetic material either between multiple chromosomes or between different regions of the same chromosome. This process is generally mediated by homology; that is, homologous regions of chromosomes line up in preparation for exchange, and some degree of sequence identity is required. Various cases of nonhomologous recombination do exist, however. One important instance of recombination in diploid eukaryotic organisms is the exchange of genetic information between newly duplicated chromosomes during the process of meiosis. In this instance, the outcome of recombination is to ensure that each gamete includes both maternally and paternally derived genetic information, such that the resulting offspring will inherit genes from all four of its grandparents, thereby acquiring a maximum amount of genetic diversity."

"text": "How do homologous chromosomes come close togather just before crossing over? Asked by: Koushik Kanjilal Latest Reply: Hello Koushik, We know that homologous chromosomes have to pair up during meiosis, but exactly how they do this remains a bit of a mystery. One of the tricky things about studying homologous chromosomes is that different species use different mechanisms for pairing their chromosomes. These mechanisms are not completely understood, but we’ll tell you a little about what is known about them. You might think that homologous chromosomes would need to pair up with each other before recombination (crossing over) begins during meiosis I. Believe it or not, some species actually rely on recombination for homologous chromosome pairing! Such recombination-dependent chromosomal pairing mechanisms may take advantage of the sequences in the double-stranded DNA breaks that occur during the early steps of recombination in order to pair up with the matching DNA sequences on their homologous chromosome partner. Other species don’t rely on recombination to pair their homologous chromosomes. In some organisms, such as fruit flies and wheat, it looks as if homologous chromosomes are often already paired even in somatic cells — so the homologous chromosomes are likely near each other before meiosis even begins. Some mechanisms for chromosome pairing are thought to involve specific parts of the chromosomes. In some species, centromeres (the chromosome “waist” where sister chromatids are attached) and heterochromatin (tightly packed chromosomal DNA) are thought to serve in the pairing of homologous chromosomes."

The ability to integrate exogenous genetic information into the mouse genome has revolutionised the analysis of gene function. Both gene addition and gene replacement can be performed and the capability exists to create ‘conditional’ mutations and to study gene dosage effects. The aim of the present review is to provide a framework of information on transgenic mouse methodologies that can be applied to any area of research.

Since the inception of transgenic technology in the early 1980s, the mouse ( Mus musculus) has emerged as the in vivo animal system of choice. The production and development of genetic mouse models actually started in the 1900s with the identification of spontaneous mutations within mouse colonies. 1 However, spontaneous mutations are relatively infrequent events with the occurrence of specific mutations of biomedical interest being extremely rare. A number of factors have contributed to the use of mice and the development of transgenic mouse models in recent years, including the availability of inbred mouse strains, extensive genetic homology between mice and man, 2 ease of controlled breeding and the availability of reagents [reviewed in 3 ]."

The formation of meiotic crossovers was previously posited to occur via two pathways, with the relative use of each pathway varying between organisms; however, this paradigm could not explain all crossovers, and many of the key proteins involved were unidentified. Recent studies that identify some of these proteins reinforce and expand the model of two meiotic crossover pathways. The results provide novel insights into the evolutionary origins of the pathways, suggesting that one is similar to a mitotic DNA repair pathway and the other evolved to incorporate special features unique to meiosis.meiotic recombination mitotic recombination MEIOSIS is essential to maintaining the proper complement of chromosomes in sexually reproducing organisms. By following one round of DNA replication with two rounds of cellular division, meiosis effectively halves the chromosome content of participating cells. Prior to the first meiotic division, homologous chromosomes pair and, in many organisms, undergo recombination. Both crossovers, characterized by the reciprocal exchange of flanking markers, and noncrossovers, in which flanking DNA remains unchanged, result from these recombination events. Crossovers can also occur in mitotically proliferating cells during repair of certain types of DNA damage, especially double-strand breaks."

Because the genetic code is read in triplets, addition or subtraction of 1 or 2 nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame. Incorrect amino acids are inserted and often premature termination occurs when an nonsense codon is read. Frameshifts therefore cause, in general, very severe phenotypic effects. Addition or subtraction of 3 nucleotides does not generally cause a mutation because the reading frame is not shifted. An extra amino acid is inserted or removed but this does not usually lead to perturbed protein structure.

This foreign DNA most often remains as an extrachromosomal structure called the plasmid. Sometimes the foreign DNA can integrate into the bacterial genome. Transduction - The transfer of small segments of bacterial DNA by viruses. When viruses invade the bacterial cell, they make use of the bacterial protein machinery to produce virions. During a process called packaging where genetic material is packed into the newly formed virus, bits of bacterial DNA are also included. These new virions then carry the bacterial DNA into the next cell that they infect.

"text": "November 23, 2016, 8:33 am What is the Difference Between Meiosis I and Meiosis II? Recap: What is Meiosis? Meiosis is how eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, and fungi) reproduce sexually. It is a process of chromosomal reduction, which means that a diploid cell (this means a cell with two complete and identical chromosome sets) is reduced to form haploid cells (these are cells with only one chromosome set). The haploid cells produced by meiosis are germ cells, also known as gametes, sex cells or spores in plants and fungi. These are essential for sexual reproduction: two germ cells combine to form a diploid zygote, which grows to form another functional adult of the same species. The process of chromosomal reduction is important in the conservation of the chromosomal number of a species. If chromosome numbers were not reduced, and a diploid germ cell was produced by each parent, then the resulting offspring would have a tetraploid chromosome set: that is, it would have four identical sets of chromosomes. This number would keep increasing with each generation. This is why the chromosomal reduction is vital for the continuation of each species."

The daughter cells divide again in meiosis II, splitting up sister chromatids to form haploid gametes. Two gametes fuse during fertilization, creating a diploid cell with a complete set of paired chromosomes. A video of meiosis I in a crane flyspermatocyte, played back at 120× the recorded speed. Meiosis (from Greek μειώσεις, meiosis, which means lessening) / m aɪ ˈ oʊ s ɪ s / ( listen) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Genotype is one of three factors that determine phenotype, the other two being inherited epigenetic factors, and non-inherited environmental factors. DNA mutations which are acquired rather than inherited, such as cancer mutations, are not part of the individual's genotype; hence, scientists and physicians sometimes talk for example about the (geno)type of a particular cancer, that is the genotype of the disease as distinct from the diseased. An example of how genotype determines a characteristic is petal color in a pea plant. The genotype of an organism is the inherited map it carries within its genetic code. The genetic constitution of an organism is referred to as its genotype, such as the letters Bb. ( B - dominant genotype and b - recessive genotype). Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism. Most eukaryotes have two matching sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. Diploid organisms have the same loci on each of their two sets of homologous chromosomes, except that the sequences at these loci may differ between the two chromosomes in a matching pair and that a few chromosomes may be mismatched as part of a chromosomal sex-determination system."

However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Because meiosis creates cells that are destined to become gametes (or reproductive cells), this reduction in chromosome number is critical — without it, the union of two gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with twice the normal number of chromosomes!Apart from this reduction in chromosome number, meiosis differs from mitosis in yet another way. Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis exhibit an amazing range of genetic variation. Finally, unlike mitosis, meiosis involves two rounds of nuclear division, not just one. Despite this fact, many of the other events of meiosis are similar to those that occur in mitosis."

It protects you against legal costs and claims for damages to third parties which may arise out of an act, omission or breach of professional duty in the course of your business. If a mistake or omission occurs in the course of your work that results in financial loss or injury to a third party (e.g. a customer)—that customer may take legal action against you to recover their losses. Professional Indemnity insurance seeks to protect both your assets and your reputation, should this occur. Why do I need it? Defending yourself from a professional conduct claim can cost you time, money and damage your reputation, regardless of whether the allegations are founded or not. If things do go wrong you could be held responsible not only for your own actions but for those of your partners, employees or volunteers. All dance professionals need to ensure they are protected against unfounded allegations as well as breaches of professional duty. A Professional Indemnity insurance policy safeguards you and your business by providing cover against such claims, including the cost of defending the action—so you can conduct your business with the confidence that both your assets and your reputation are protected."

Plamann on November 21, 2013It is said that releases and settlement agreements “use a hundred words when ten would do” and there is a good reason for that. Those drafting the release want to include as much as possible within the future protections, claims released, and indemnity provided by the document. Conversely, those signing the release want to limit the promises they make and tailor them specifically to the claims and damages made the subject of the claim being released. This concern over limiting the scope and future liability assumed in such broadly-worded documents is most-vitally important when the party signing the release is an insurance company. Take, for example, a case in which you have put in considerable work to investigate and develop a potential subrogation claim. You’ve hired investigators and experts, conducted inspections, talked to witnesses, and perhaps even retained an outside “subrogation vendor.” Though settlement negotiations were rough, you won a hard-earned recovery that you feel is fair. You start to feel good about all the work you put in and you are told that the amount you recovered is fair given the facts of the claim. Then, you receive a settlement check and, along with it, a broad, five-page release of claims and settlement agreement that contains lengthy paragraphs referring to indemnity and hold-harmless obligations which rival the Affordable Care Act in length, complexity, and uncertainty. Most insurance defense counsel and liability adjusters regurgitate release language and settlement agreements because it’s easier for them to do that than actually look at the facts of the case before them to craft language specific to each case."

Most dental policies emphasize prevention and diagnostics, typically covering two annual exams and cleanings, plus X-rays and, for children and older adults, fluoride treatments, says Evelyn Ireland, executive director of the National Association of Dental Plans, or NADP. But the real benefit is being covered for bigger-ticket procedures, such as fillings, root canals and crowns. You’re spared from having to dig into your own pocket when faced with the type of dental emergency that can really chomp into your savings. At the end of 2016, about two-thirds of Americans had dental benefits, according to a report from the NADP and Delta Dental Plans Association."

"text": "Professional Indemnity Insurance Definition What exactly is professional indemnity insurance? Well, our professional indemnity insurance definition has to begin with the word ‘negligence’. As a professional, you are viewed in the eyes of the law as someone who can be expected to carry out work to a certain standard and upon whose judgement and opinions your clients are entitled to rely. You are deemed to owe your clients a professional duty of care. Now you might think that goes without saying, that you’re a professional through and through. And undoubtedly you are. Most of the time. But we all make mistakes occasionally - and understanding that we are all fallible is critical to understanding any professional indemnity insurance definition. Maybe you’re an Engineer and a mistake that you make in your calculations causes a major delay to the project you’re contributing to. Or perhaps you’re an IT Consultant and a system you’d configured fails to meet the client’s specifications."

We are known for providing our customers with a wide variety of options and choices, but as far as Annuities and disability insurance goes, we have decided to offer what we consider to be the best in breed in these two markets. This decision was made due to their excellent financial stability, high ratings, and the multitude of competitively priced products and options that they both offer to our customers. File (.pdf): Guardian Disability Product Comparison What is a long term disability? When a disability leaves you unable to work for an extended length of time, you lose the ability to earn an income- the one thing you’ve always relied on to provide for yourself and your loved ones. Meanwhile, your living expenses continue-in fact, they’re likely to increase for a number of reasons. You could need help around the house or have higher medical expenses, for example. That’s where disability income insurance (DI) comes in. It’s designed to help you maintain your standard of living when you cannot work. If you don’t have much in the way of assets for a financial cushion, you need enough to cover costs and supplement your income until you can go back to work."

"text": "Mental Capacity Act 2005 – Assessments under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (MCA DOLS)1 May 2014Summary Under the Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (MCA DOLS), six assessments have to be successfully conducted before a local authority (supervisory body) can authorise the deprivation of an individual’s liberty in a hospital or a care home. These assessments must be carried out by appropriately qualified assessors appointed by the supervisory body. This factsheet provides a broad overview of the six assessments and the appointment of assessors. Detailed provisions about assessments and assessors are set out in the relevant legislation and in the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Code of Practice which must be consulted by all involved in work relating to MCA DOLS. Assessments The six assessments needed in order to satisfy the requirements of the MCA DOLS (described in paragraphs 4.23 to 4.76 of the Code of Practice), and usually completed in the following order, are: Age assessment No refusals assessment Mental capacity assessment Mental health assessment Eligibility assessment Best interests assessment. Assessments must be completed within 21 days for a standard deprivation of liberty authorisation, or, where an urgent authorisation has been given, before that authorisation expires. What do the assessments entail? Age assessment – confirms whether the relevant individual is 18 or over. No refusals assessment – establishes whether an authorisation would conflict with other existing authority for decision-making for that person, such as an advance decision to refuse treatment under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Mental capacity assessment – establishes whether the relevant individual lacks capacity to decide whether or not they should be accommodated in the relevant hospital or care home to be given care."

"text": "\"California Decision Approves Shortening Statutes of Limitation and Eliminating the Discovery Rule Via Contract June 2013 In Brisbane Lodging, LP v. Webcor Builders, Inc., No. A132555 BL 146042 (June 3, 2013), the California Court of Appeal (First District, Division Four) recently confirmed that parties can contractually agree to limit not only statutes of limitation, but can also agree to the date from which the statute of limitation will commence. This represents an important clarification to any party entering into a construction agreement where the statute of limitation is generally tolled for unknown (latent) defects until such time as the defects are discovered or should have been discovered through reasonable diligence (the \"\"discovery rule\"\"). Background and Significance of Brisbane Lodging Construction defect cases in California have long operated under the statutes of limitation and repose dictated in California Code of Civil Procedure sections 337.1 and 337.15. These sections provide a four-year window to bring suit for a \"\"patent\"\" defect and a 10-year window to bring suit for a \"\"latent\"\" defect—both periods commencing at the date of substantial completion. Patent and latent defects are defined in the Code of Civil Procedure: CCP § 337.1 (e): As used in this section, \"\"patent deficiency\"\" means a deficiency which is apparent by reasonable inspection. CCP § 337.15 (b): As used in this section, \"\"latent deficiency\"\" means a deficiency which is not apparent by reasonable inspection. When a latent defect manifests itself (becomes patent to a reasonable observer), the statutory framework requires a suit to be filed on the newly discovered defect (arising out of a breach of contract) within four years of discovery. Regents of the University of California v. Hartford Accident & Indemnity, Co., 21 Cal.3d 624, 630; see also CCP § 337 (four-year statute of limitation for breach of contract). This \"\"discovery rule\"\" effectively acts to toll the statute of limitation period on construction defects until they become reasonably apparent."

"text": "06.15.11The success of construction lenders, owners, contractors or subcontractors may depend on how well each of them addresses project risks. This is called “risk management.” A major part of risk management is “risk allocation,” whereby a party assigns by contract the responsibility for a certain risk to another party, who will then bear that risk. Yet another part of risk management is the manner in which a party handles its assumed risk so that the possibility (and resulting cost) of the risk is minimized. Some of the most important risk management tools at a party’s disposal are the contracts into which it enters with others involved in the construction project. Within those contracts, risk is primarily allocated through indemnity and insurance requirement provisions. Managing risks can be handled not only by sound business and construction practices (such as proper preconstruction planning, proven construction means and methods, use of experienced personnel, and stringent safety programs) but also by careful contract preparation and review. What follows is a brief overview of some of the key risk allocation and risk management concepts to consider when preparing or entering into your next construction contract. Allocating Risk to the Party That Is in the Best Position to Control That Risk A fundamental risk management concept is that owners and contractors should anticipate potential project risks and determine whether it is more advantageous to accept responsibility for each risk or to allocate responsibility for that risk to another party. From a risk management perspective, it is important to assign a project risk to the party best able to control and manage it."

"text": "Related Articles1Limitation of Liability in Service Contracts2Do Limited Liability Clauses Hold Up in Court?3What Is an Unlimited Indemnity Agreement in a Contract?4Difference Between Breach of Contract & Breach of Warranty A limited liability or indemnity clause may save a company from financial ruin. However, many companies ignore these clauses because nearly every contract contains them. How a limited liability or indemnity clause affects a company depends on the party that causes the damage. The presence of a limited liability or indemnity clause does not always make them enforceable. Liability A limited liability clause limits damages to some portion of the fee charged by the designer or a fixed dollar amount. For instance, say a client pays a contractor $5,000 to install a new roof and the contract limits the designer's liability to $5,000. If the roof collapses and destroys the client's person possessions, for example, the client cannot recoup more than $5,000 in damages from the contractor because of the limited liability clause. An indemnity clause allows the party of a contract to sue another party on the contract for physical or monetary damages, even harm incurred by third-party, according to attorney John Perten of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass and Green. For instance, say a business hires a cleaning company to mop its floors and a customer trips over some equipment left by the cleaner. If the business has an indemnity clause in its contract with the cleaner, the company can sue the cleaner for reimbursement for damages paid to the injured customer."

This is probably due to their fearsome look, with pincers called pedipalps at one end and a stinger filled with venom at the other. Scorpions are not insects but arachnids, like spiders, and have eight legs and two main body regions, the prosoma, or cephalothorax, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen. The prosoma has two eyes on top and two to five lateral eyes along each side (as many as five pairs). Even with all those eyes, scorpions can't see very well! Yet the sensitivity of their eyes is among the highest in all arthropods and dependent on the kinds of habitats in which they live. In general terms, however, their eyes mostly tell movement and light from dark. The scorpion's four pairs of legs are attached to the prosoma as well. Scorpions find their way through sensory structures in their legs, by feeling along with brush-like structures called pectines attached to the underside of the abdomen, and through fine sensory hairs to detect vibrations. Male scorpions also use the pectines to find an available female, and newborn scorpions use them to recognize their mother."

"text": "The Most Venomous Animals in the World12 April 3, 2015It seems that our fears of animals are based around two main themes; there are those with the big pointy teeth that are just looking for an excuse to eat us alive and there are those that, whilst seemingly innocuous, pack a secret weapon so deadly that half the world seem to have a phobia about them. These are the venomous animals that can deliver lethal toxins through their bites and stings. Unlike many of the factors involved in ranking an animals danger to man, the strength of venom can and has been measured. This is recorded as the LD 50 (median lethal dose) which basically tells us how much is required to kill an average human (or mouse). The most powerful of these natural toxins are nearly 1,000 times more deadly than poisons such as arsenic and cyanide. Venomous vs Poisonous Now there seems to be a good deal of confusion about whether an animal is venomous or poisonous. Venomous creatures are often described as poisonous and vice versa. Both types have toxins, and both types can be considered dangerous, where they differ is in how they deliver this. Poisons require the victim to ingest/eat them, or can be absorbed through the skin when touched. However, a venom is injected into the victim by means of a bite or a sting."

CC BY-NC-ND 2.0Share Tweet Share E-mail Evolutionarily, humans are scared of creepy-crawlers and poisonous things. Our fight-or-flight kicks in whenever we’re confronted with something that has more than 4 legs, stares at us with 8 glistening eyes, or exhibits protruding fangs or a stinger. Either you kill that spider or you run away from it, as shudders contort your body and squeals escape your lips. However, science shows that the venoms of the natural world can actually be harvested as potential medicinal treatments and cures. From using scorpion, bee, and snake venom for cancer treatments to employing venom immunotherapy to treat insect sting allergies, researchers have investigated the therapeutic effects of a wide variety of animal and insect poisons. And it turns out that when used the right way, the poisons that would typically kill us can actually save our lives, too. “Ironically, the properties that make venom deadly are also what make it so valuable for medicine,” Jennifer Holland writes for National Geographic. “ Many venom toxins target the same molecules that need to be controlled to treat disease. Venom works fast and is highly specific."

"text": "\"Mortal Kombat (commonly abbreviated as MK) is a popular series of fighting games created originally by the Midway Manufacturing Company. Mortal Kombat began as a series of arcade games, which were picked up by Acclaim Entertainment for the home console versions. Now Midway exclusively creates home versions of Mortal Kombat. It is especially noted for its digitized sprites (which differentiated it from its contemporaries' hand-drawn sprites), and its high levels of blood and gore, including, most notably, its graphic Fatality killing moves. These were so extreme that they, in part, led to the founding of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Contents [ show]Overview Brief history Screenshot of Mortal Kombat. The original Mortal Kombat was developed as a reaction to the popular Capcom fighting game Street Fighter II, with digitized graphics of real game actors as opposed to animated cartoon graphics. The Mortal Kombat storyline and gameplay were conceived in 1991, but not released into arcades until 1992 [1]. Critics said the game's graphic violence was only included in order to generate a public outcry and controversy that would gain publicity for the game. Although highly controversial, the mix of realism and violence propelled Mortal Kombat to widespread and historic renown. Throughout the series, the game was known for its over-the-top violence which included fatalities, uppercuts that sprayed blood and launched players into the air, its theatrical special moves, as well as a tendency to replace instances of the hard c sound with the letter \"\"K\"\" in its written lexicon (including the title itself, with \"\"Combat\"\" changed to \"\"Kombat\"\")."

Akrabh or acrab (a-crab), is the Hebrew word for scorpion. That scorpions were engendered from crabs was a belief in classical times: Ovid ( Metamorphoses, 1st century CE, 15, 369-371) wrote:\"\"If you remove the hollow claws of land-crabs, and put the rest under the soil, a scorpion, with its curved and threatening tail, will emerge from the parts interred\"\" [ 1 ]. The first Scorpions are believed to have evolved from the Eurypteridae or water scorpions 425 to 450 million years ago in the Silurian Period. Sea scorpions might have been the first animals to move onto land [ 2 ], making scorpions one of the pioneers of terrestrial life. They would have needed to be able to withstand the strong ultraviolet rays before the ozone layer buildup, scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Skorpios ( Scorpius) was a giant scorpion sent by the earth-goddess Gaia to slay the giant Orion when he threatened to kill all the beasts of the earth. The Scorpion stung Orion on the heel (marked by the star Rigel, beta Orion) and killed him. These two opponents Orion and the Scorpion were placed amongst the stars as their namesake constellations, but are positioned on opposite sides of the sky, one sets as the other rises. The Scorpion rises as Orion starts to sink into the other side of the sky, and this was seen as Orion running away from the attacker, and still in fear of him.\"\""

Scorpions, thus, are extremely successful creatures and they are also amazingly adapted for their role in ecology of planet Earth. Scorpions can be found from the most dry and hot deserts to the most wet rainforest and from fussorial habitats (below the surface of the ground) to the canopy of the rainforest, sometimes well over 100 feet over the forest floor. These creatures are awesomely adapted and very successful in life. Basically, scorpions have a very easily recognized form, even though they may vary in size from less than an inch in length to monster like size of over 6 inches in length. They all look very similar with two pinchers at the anterior or fore part of the body, a head/body combination with 4 legs on each side (8 total) and a fairly long tail that may be held flat or curled behind the body or when defensive, will raise the tail high above the back. At the end of the tail is a bulbous shape that is tipped with a hooked shaped stinger. Scorpions are arachnids, thus have 8 legs and the head/body combination is called the “cephlathorax”, also a characteristic of spiders. Scorpions are best known, unfortunately, for their sting. In some areas of the world, there are some extremely dangerous scorpions that can and do on occassion result in human fatalities from their stings."

One of the most notable types is peach leaf curl, caused by the fungus Taphrina deformans, which infects peach, nectarine, and almond trees. T. deformans is found in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. [ 2] It was first introduced in America in 1852 and has now spread all over the country.

[ 3] The disease costs the United States $2.5 to 3.0 million annually. [ 3]Causes of leaf curl [ edit]The fungus T. deformans causes deformed young leaves, red blisters, and ultimately the whitish bloom that covers the leaf as the infection progresses. This white color is made of asci that break through the cuticle of the leaf. One ascus consists of eight ascospores that create conidia, which are ejected in early summer and spread by rain and wind. The fungus survives the winter on the surface of the host plant, such as on bark or buds. ["

"text": "Home »Produce What Are the Causes of Curled Tomato Plant Leaves? By Shelly Mc Rae; Updated September 21, 2017If your tomato plants are producing tomatoes but the edges of the leaves curl upward, this is known as leaf curl or leaf roll. If your plants are not producing, and the leaves are yellowing as well as curling, it may be due to a viral infection. When the leaves curl on a tomato plant, the cause may be due to environmental conditions, a virus or contamination from airborne agricultural chemical application. Environmental If your region has been inundated with heavy rains, the garden soil is likely saturated. This excess water causes the leaves to roll upward and inward. This condition is unlikely to affect the production of your plants. Allow the soil to dry out when the rains subside and resume your scheduled watering. The leaves should unfurl. Uneven watering and drought can also result in leaf curl."

However, curling leaves on a houseplant can indicate a problem that needs extra attention. Mealybugs cause houseplant leaves to curl. Causes Both mealybugs and excessive light cause houseplant leaves to curl. Mealybugs also cause yellow or white spots on the foliage and a sticky substance on the plant or nearby furniture. Consider lighting if you find no sign of the flat, oval insects, which can measure from a speck to 1/3 inch in length, on the houseplant. Prevention Plants vary widely in their lighting requirements, from direct sunlight all day long to just a few hours of indirect or filtered sunlight every day. Position houseplants to receive the optimal light for each particular species. Check plants for mealybugs before bringing them indoors."

"text": "What Causes Tomatoes to Crack?— Written By Charlotte Glen Sudden changes in soil moisture can cause concentric cracks to form around the top of tomato fruits. Growing tomatoes in the coastal South is always a gamble. Throughout the summer you play the odds against insects, diseases, heat, or drought ruining your crop. Until a few weeks ago, growing conditions this season had been nearly ideal, resulting in some of the healthiest tomato plants I have seen in years. Recent heavy rains are likely to change this trend, raising the stakes against a bumper crop this season. SPLITTING AND CRACKINGSide splitting and cracking up are terms you want to hear in reference to a joke you just made, not about your tomatoes. Heavy rain, especially when preceded by dry weather, is the leading cause of fruit cracking and splitting in tomatoes. This type of damage is most likely to occur as tomatoes begin to ripen and you are anxiously anticipating harvest, though green fruit can be effected as well. Cracking and splitting occur when rapid changes in soil moisture levels cause fruits to expand quicker than the tomato skin can grow."

Pepper leaf curl is a common symptom in peppers, as it is in tomato plants. Let’s learn more about leaf curl on pepper plants. What Causes Leaves to Curl on Pepper Plants? Pepper leaf curl can result from many different problems, ranging from pests and viruses to environmental stress. Pests Pests like aphids, thrips, mites and whiteflies cause leaf curl on pepper plants with their feeding activities. Mature leaves may develop spotted or stippled areas, dry out or fall off, but leaves fed on during development emerge randomly curled or twisted, depending on the location of the feeding. Many of these pests produce honeydew, a sticky, sweet substance as a result of their sap-feeding — you’ll notice a shiny clear coating of material near feeding sites. These pests are easily treated with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Treat your peppers weekly, when ambient temperatures are below 80 F. (27 C.)."

By Chad Gulley Extension Agent Jul 19, 2014Many gardeners plant tomatoes in their gardens and flower beds. If the leaves of your tomato plants are twisted or curled, the problem could be environmental, chemical or even biological. There are five primary reasons that tomato leaves twist or curl. These are wind damage, herbicide drift, herbicide residue, broad mite and tomato viruses. During periods of high winds, blowing dust and low humidity can damage leaves and stems on tomato plants. Hot, dry weather also may cause a symptom called physiological leaf roll. This is a self-defense response in the tomato plant. Herbicide drift may be a cause as well. In situations where herbicides are used in a nearby field to control unwanted plant species, sensitive plants like the tomato plant could be damaged by any drift from the application."

"text": "Related Articles Remedies for Leaf Curl in Tomato Plants What Causes Leaf Curl in Green Peppers? Curling Leaves & Tomato Plant Diseases How to Treat Leaf Curl Upward-curling leaves may indicate a major problem on pepper (Capsicum annuum) or tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants. Leaf curl may be the result of an easily treated cultural problem, or it may be indicative of a much larger issue. Determining the cause can help you treat the plants so they return to their former health, or, at the very least, protect other plants in the garden from the issue. Water Stress Water stress, especially from dry conditions or excessive heat, is the primary cause of leaf roll on tomatoes and peppers, and it is one of the simplest problems to reverse. The lower leaves tend to roll first, sometimes becoming thicker along the center vein or turning yellow if too little water is present. Too much water or poorly drained soil also can result in leaf roll, but the leaves generally remain green. Both tomatoes and peppers grow best in soil that remains evenly moist; the soil generally requires about 1 inch of water weekly. The plants may need more frequent watering in hot conditions or in soil that drains quickly. Laying mulch on the soil around the plants, but not touching the plants, can slow soil water loss and help prevent water stress-induced leaf roll."

"text": "Home & Garden Gardening & Landscapes Outdoor Plants & Flowers Q: Why Do Tomato Plant Leaves Curl Upward? A: Quick Answer Leaves on tomato plants curl upward because of several reasons, including viral infections, an effort to resist the excessive moisture when the conditions are excessively cool and moist and an effort to conserve water during a dry spell. Learning to identify the signs and knowing the reasons behind the curling up of tomato leaves is the most important aspect for a successful treatment and prevention of this problem. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Causes Leaf Curl in Tomato Plants? Why Are My Tomato Plants Turning Yellow? Can You Pinch Off Yellowing Tomato Leaves? Full Answer The virus in a viral infection can be transmitted through infected transplants or through whiteflies. After the infection takes place, it may take about 3 weeks without showing any symptom of the infection, but the most common sign of this infection is the curling up and yellowing of the tomato leaves. This infection retards the growth of the plant, leading to a failure of the development of the flowers. During excessively cold conditions, tomato leaves normally curl upward and become leathery so as to resist the excessive moisture."

Its aromatic flavor makes it ideal for homemade tomato sauce and works well as a companion plant to repel mosquitoes from your garden. Basil is not a high-maintenance plant but can develop problems over time. For example, browning and curling at its leaf tips result from several factors. Once you identify the cause, you can apply the proper treatment. Pests Even though basils generally do not have many pest problems, insects may still attack the herb. Spider mites, scales, aphids and thrips suck the vital juices running through the basil leaves, causing the foliage to brown and curl. Fortunately, these pests rarely cause major damage to the basil plants, and using beneficial predatory insects -- lacewings, predatory wasps and ladybugs -- keeps these pests under control. Another option is to spray the basil with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap when the weather is calm and cool with a temperature between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent damage to the herb, follow the instructions on the oil or soap label."

Planting disease-resistant varieties is a first step toward preventing serious tomato problems, and most leaf curl issues in home gardens can be corrected so the plants can continue to grow and produce fruits. Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Tomato yellow leaf curl disease is caused by the pathogen, tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Its appearance in California was first identified in 2007 by the University of California Integrated Pest Management Program. An aggressive education program curbed the spread of the disease, but it has not been completely eradicated. Diseased plants are stunted, with small leaves with edges that curl upward. Blossoms drop and the plants don’t fruit. Whiteflies spread TYLCV, and biological controls such as bigeyed bugs, lacewing larvae and lady beetle larvae are recommended to control whiteflies."

You also get to enjoy lots of great vine plants such as sugar snap peas, pole beans, moonflowers, bougainvillea, and clematis. Adding a trellis or some other vertical structure to your garden also gives you a whole new dimension of visual interest. But figuring out how to match climbing plants with the right kind of support leaves many gardeners baffled. Why won't pole beans and tomatoes climb up a lattice frame? Why won't sweet peas and clematis climb a pole?"

"text": "\"When Can You Leave a Child Home Alone? The 1990 movie Home Alone may have poked fun at what could happen when an eight-year old boy is accidentally left home alone, yet in reality it is not uncommon for thousands of American children to be left home alone on any given day. Children who are left home alone - sometimes known as \"\"latchkey kids\"\" -- are often left without adult supervision for reasons beyond a parent's control and, in some unfortunate situations, out of neglect or child abuse. For anyone considering whether it is alright to leave a child at home alone, there are important safety and legal guidelines to consider before leaving any child unsupervised for any extended period of time. Laws for Leaving a Child Home Alone Only a couple of states have laws that specify the age when a child can be left home alone, including Maryland (age 8) and Illinois (age 14). However, most states have guidelines with the Department of Health and Human Services or other child protective agencies that test a child's ability to be left home alone. Factors may include the child's age and maturity, the overall safety of the surrounding area/circumstances, and arrangements made to secure the child's safety. Below are general guidelines to follow when considering the age range for leaving a child home alone.7 & under - Should not be left alone for any period of time. This may include leaving children unattended in cars, playgrounds, and backyards. The determining consideration would be the dangers in the environment and the ability of the caretaker to intervene.8 to 10 years - Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours.11 to 12 years - May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate responsibility.13 to 15 years - May be left unsupervised, but not overnight.16 to 17 years - May be left unsupervised (in some cases, for up to two consecutive overnight periods)."

"text": "Government & Politics Law Legal Ages Q: What Is the Legal Age for Children to Stay Home Alone Overnight? A: Quick Answer In the United States, no federal law exists setting an age at which children can stay home along unsupervised, although some states have certain restrictions on age for children to stay home alone as well as duration of unsupervised period. Generally, individual families have quite a bit of flexibility in determining when children are physically and emotionally mature enough to remain home without parental supervision. Although most states do not have specific ages for leaving kids alone, some states, such as Maryland, require children who are age 8 or younger to have adult supervision, such as a babysitter or nanny, when parents must leave the home.

First, the facts: Kansas law does not specify how old a child must be to stay home alone. Child abuse statutes outlaw neglect that puts a child in danger — including, potentially, leaving a young child unsupervised — but there is no legal definition of an unsupervised child. That means no hard-and-fast rules, which means no easy answers for parents trying to make that call. Latest news by email The afternoon's latest local news SIGN UPNot surprisingly, experts differ. The National Safe Kids Campaign recommends that no child under 12 be left home alone. The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services says 10 or 11 is a reasonable age, depending on a child's maturity level. Many states and cities have guidelines — not laws — that mention ages ranging from 9 to 12. Lenore Skenazy, author of \"\"Free-Range Kids,\"\" a book, blog and anti-helicopter-parent movement, argues that most parents are unreasonably paranoid and that most kids could use a little more freedom. The issue, she writes, \"\"is not whether a child is left alone, or even what age, but under what circumstances."

They don't get out of bed or interrupt you in your sleep. The most the oldest does is get out of bed to go the bathroom..

"text": "How Old Do Children Have to Be to Stay Home Alone in Montgomery County, Maryland?by ASHLEY GARAY July 01, 2013State laws differ as to what age you can leave your child home unattended, but Montgomery County, Maryland offers clear guidelines as to what qualifies as unattended and as to the age range appropriate for staying home alone and for babysitters. While age is important, you must also consider your child's maturity level and ability to follow instructions when considering leaving a child unattended for any length of time. Video of the Day Under Age 8You should never leave a child under age 8 alone, even for short periods. Maryland Child Protective Service Procedures classifies a child under age 8 as unattended if he is alone or under the care of a sitter under 13 or a caregiver who is otherwise considered unqualified or unreliable. Age 8 to 12If your child is between 8 and 12, Maryland Protective Services states that your child can stay home alone and unsupervised for short periods, such as before and after school, but not for an entire day. Children must have access to their parents or neighbors phone numbers and be instructed in what to do in an emergency. Children under 12 may not be the primary caregiver for younger children -- even siblings. Age 13 and Up Children over 12 are legally allowed to babysit younger children, and are legally allowed to be left unattended. However, although there are no laws dictating how long you can leave a child over 12 alone, as a parent or caregiver, you must use appropriate judgment -- particularly with children at the younger range of this spectrum -- when leaving children unattended for an extended time or overnight. Of course, you must leave children over 12 with resources such as emergency contacts, emergency instructions and access to food, water and transportation for school."

Flag What is minimum age required by law in Michigan to stay home alone? Answer by Rkelley Confidence votes 3.8KLaws do not prescribe a minimum age, but the child's maturity and ability to take care of themselves will be a factor in determining if there was any child endangerment. Answer Michigan, as almost every state, does not have a law specifying the age at which a minor child can be left home alone. The basic criteria is the circumstances and the amount of time that the child is left rather than age, which creates a legal \"\"Catch-22\"\". The law presumes that the parent (s) or adult caregiver will be prudent in assessing the child or children's level of maturity when making such a decision. It goes without saying one should never leave an infant or small child alone for any length of time. Generally a child under the age of 12 is not considered mature enough to deal with some of the circumstances that might arise. If a minor child is injured and needs medical attention or is found left in an environment considered unacceptable (as in no staples, utilities, etc.) the parent or adult caregiver can be charged with child endangerment and/or neglect."

My reply is always \"\"when they are ready. \"\" Canary chicks usually fledge at anything from 17-24 days. Much will depend upon how well they have been fed, and on how many chicks there are in each nest. I find that broods of three, four or five chicks tend to fledge much earlier than if there is only a single or couple of chicks in the nest. There are exceptions of course, but I am speaking generally, here. Observation Breeding canaries successfully calls for a high degree of observation on the part of the fancier. Constantly checking nests to see that all is well, and taking immediate remedial action when problems loom, is one of the recipes for a successful breeding season. Moving chicks is simply another critical time on the canary breeding calendar."

First bred in the 1930's, they are the only Color Bred Canary that has a red factor as part of their genetic structure. They were developed as a cross between another type of finch, the now endangered Venezuelan Black Hooded Red Siskin Spinus cocullatus, and the Yellow Canary Serinus canaria,For more information about the care of Canaries see: Guide to a Happy, Healthy Canary Geographic Distribution Serinus canaria See All Data at Google Maps Data provided by GBIF.org Scientific Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Actiniform Class: Elasmobranchii Order: Passeriformes Family: Fringillidae Genus: Serinus Species: canaria Our singing Red Factor Canary Report Broken Video Our singing Red Factor Canary Our singing Red Factor Canary Dr. Jungle's You Tube Channel - Birds Scientific Name: Serinus canaria domesticus Distribution: Specialty breeding in canaries has an extremely long history.

"text": "\"Revealed: How autistic genius Stephen Wiltshire drew his amazing picture of London's skyline By GEOFFERY WANSELLLast updated at 09:49 08 April 2008Enlarge Talented artist Stephen Wiltshire's draws London The quite remarkable talents of the London-born artist Stephen Wiltshire, who was awarded an MBE for his \"\"services to art\"\" two years ago, are to be celebrated this week in a television documentary about extraordinary people. In particular, the Channel Five programme shows the young black artist, 34 later this month, drawing a 13ft long panorama in pen, ink and pencil of a seven mile stretch of the London skyline after just one brief helicopter trip along the Thames - and doing so in just five days. In the huge curving canvas, which was completed at the Mayor of London's office, almost every major building in the city is drawn to scale - from the Swiss Re Tower (better known as the Gherkin) to the high rises of Canary Wharf - with the number of floors and architectural features all recaptured in precise detail. It is no mean feat for a young artist who is autistic, a condition memorably brought to life by Dustin Hoffman in the Oscar-winning film Rain Man. Indeed, like Hoffman's film persona, Wiltshire is also a \"\"savant\"\", a man trapped in his own private world but with an exceptional talent, said to be one of only 100 diagnosed throughout the world. In fact, it is only his gift as an artist that has allowed him to communicate fully with other people - and, as a result, the film-makers have called him \"\"the human camera\"\". Scroll down for more... The human camera: Stephen Wiltshire captures every detail on canvas But as someone who has watched his career over the past 15 years or more, I've long known that there was much more going on in Stephen Wiltshire's creative process than simply acting as a camera. As the neurologist and psychologist Dr Oliver Sacks, who's also monitored his career so far, puts it: \"\"His pictures in no sense resemble copies or photographs, something mechanical and impersonal - there are always additions, subtractions, revisions, and, of course, Stephen's unmistakable style. \"\" So, if you look closely at Wiltshire's drawings of the London skyline - and compare them with the photographs specially taken by the Mail of exactly the same views - you will see that time after time he adds or subtracts details from his drawings. Take the building just to the right of the HSBC bank tower block at Canary Wharf, for example."

Do a search in this category and you'll find a question from a few days ago where someone was wondering what to do with the seven baby gerbils they already had and the litter that was on the way because the person couldn't fid homes for them and the pet store wouldn't take them either. Make sure your gerbils are healthy and are not related to each other (which they probably are if you got them from the same cage at the pet store). Rodents usually breed pretty easily and don't need much help in caring for their young. Remove the male/s to a separate cage once the female is pregnant and keep them separated from her until you're ready to breed again. Be ready to separate the babies by sex as soon as they're old enough to differentiate."

Answered Aug 4, 2015 · Author has 398 answers and 849.5k answer views Depends on the type or class. Modern dairy cattle have an average lifespan between 5 to 6 years. Cattle raised for beef have a lifespan between 12 to 24 months. Beef cattle for breeding have an average lifespan of around 8 to 12 years. Cattle have been known to live over twice as long as what's considered average, depending on breed, productivity (usually), health status, temperament, and/or how much of an emotional value they hold for the producer or owner. Often it's health and temperament that are the biggest determinants for a bovine's lifespan if not for productivity, because a healthy cow will live longer than a sickly one, and one that is docile or doesn't give a producer much trouble will last a lot longer than one that may raise a good calf but is a nasty piece of work even with the best, calmest handling practices that can possibly be used. It's not uncommon to hear of producers wanting to hold back a particular cow because she's a favourite for some reason, either for temperament or character or something else. If she's seen as something of a pet, then that producer would seriously reconsider selling her for hamburger, and instead allow her to live out her days in the back pasture getting the best care possible until it's her time to go to the big pasture in the sky. Cows like that can live to almost 20 years, some well past.18k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

From 1967 to 1988, she was the superheroine Batgirl; from 1989 to November, 2011, she had been known as Oracle. In Batgirl Vol 4 #1, she recovered from her injuries and hit the streets as Batgirl once again. Introduced as the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon, Barbara Gordon made her first comic book appearance in a story published in Detective Comics #359 titled \"\"The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl\"\" (January 1967). As Batgirl, Barbara Gordon has been described as one of the most popular characters to appear during the Silver Age of Comic Books and is also regarded as a pop culture icon due to her appearances in the Batman television series of the late 1960s and continued media exposure. The Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl has been adapted into various media relating to the Batman franchise, including merchandise, television, and animation. During the early 1970s, the character was also used as an advocate for women's rights. Following the editorial retirement of the character's Batgirl persona in 1988, Alan Moore's graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke depicts the Joker shooting Gordon through the spinal cord in her civilian identity and leaving her a paraplegic. Although Gordon would no longer resume her role as Batgirl in subsequent stories, editor Kim Yale and writer John Ostrander soon established the character as a computer expert and information broker code-named Oracle, providing intelligence and computer hacking services to assist other superheroes. The character first appeared as Oracle in Suicide Squad #23 (January 1989)."

All you need are a mature, healthy pair of zebra finches, a nest basket, nesting materials and a good diet. Most zebra finches will mate with any other zebra finch of the opposite sex. You can distinguish the sex of most mature zebra finches at a glance. The male has a rust-colored oval patch about the size of a dime on each cheek and fine, wavy black and white stripes from his chin to his chest, ending in a bold, black chest bar. ( In fawn silver and cream males, the cheek patches are a diluted rust color and the stripes gray.) On the sides of his chest and flanks, peeking out from under his wings, are bands of chestnut sprinkled with small white \"\"polka dots\"\". The hen is plain by comparison, lacking the cheek patches, stripes on the chest, and dotted chestnut flanks. Her beak is also a lighter shade of orange than the male's."

Member Florida Canary Fanciers Member National Colorbred Association Master Breeder Award If you thinkthat all canaries are yellow, you join the company of hundreds of folks who have this common misconception. The wild canary, when first found and captured on the Canary Islands was not a yellow bird. It appeared to be green, but was actually a bird of yellow ground color with a overlay of black/brown melanin pigment. This transparent overlay alters the ground color and gives the bird a green cast. The yellow canary is a mutation that occurred as people began breeding canaries in captivity a few hundred years ago. Canaries were hatched without the melanin pigment, and as the yellow canary became more popular, birds with this color mutation were bred selectively to produce more birds of pure yellow. This coloration became so common that the words \"\"canary yellow\"\" are now as recognizable as a description for a certain color as the words \"\"lime green\"\" or \"\"sky blue\"\"."

"text": "what do baby birds eat WHAT DO BABY BIRDS EAT - How to feed wild baby birds & Food? Normal wild perching birds that naturally feed on seed, fruit and wild berries will feed baby birds with insects and worms as supplement. Baby birds eat insects like grasshopers, flyes and snails to provide extra protein for baby bird growth. Birds grow at a fast rate and extra protein boost helps with that. Baby birds have quite demanding diet needs, it will depent on their age and species, baby birds will eat every 15-20 minutes for 12 hours every day, eating a diet rich in insects for sufficient protein to ensure the fast growth rate. In case you find a hatchling or young bird which seems abandoned by its parents, at first just leave it alone. Move away and observe if its parents are coming down to feed it; in a certain period the parent birds may leave the younglings to encourage them to find their own food. However, if the bird is in danger (from cats for example), move it to an elevated safe place, or put it in a cage or box someplace where its parents can reach it. Sometimes you will find on the ground baby birds which have not yet developed any feathers. These are most often martins or sparrows, and the best solution is to return them to their nest."

But occasionally there is a horrendous case that draws widespread intrigue — like the death of 3-year-old Sherin Mathews, whose decomposed body was found in a Richardson culvert in October. Her cause of death is pending. In cases like Sherin’s, everyone wants to know what exactly happened and why the autopsy results take so long. Dr. Jeffrey Barnard (Rose Baca/Staff Photographer)Barnard, the county’s chief medical examiner since 1991, estimates he’s personally performed 8,000 to 10,000 autopsies. Maybe more.

Parents are advised to use their best judgment, with regards to a child’s maturity level, in determining when a child is old enough to be left alone. Young children typically require greater supervision and care. Children under the age of 10 should typically not be left alone at any time. In many cases, teenage children can be left alone for short periods of time.\"\" So.......... basically, your sister was fine to be home alone. However, I do agree NOT ALL NIGHT."

Starting out with a bunch of vets who missed their wartime motorcycle exploits and longed for the camaraderie of the road the Angels have become the most notorious motorcycle club in the world.

I'm 17 years old right now. According to the DMV - http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d06/vc12814_6.htm: (1) Except as specified in paragraph (2), during the first 12 months after issuance of a provisional license the licensee may not do any of the following unless accompanied and supervised by a licensed driver who is the licensee’s parent or guardian, a licensed driver who is 25 years of age or older, or a licensed or certified driving instructor: (A) Drive between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. (B) Transport passengers who are under 20 years of age. But the LAPD website - http://lapdonline.org/juvenile_divis...asic_view/2011 says this, which seems contradictory: It is unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years to be present in or upon any public street, avenue, highway, road, curb area, alley, park, playground, or other public ground, public place or public building, place of amusement or eating place, vacant lot, or unsupervised place between the hours of 10:00 p.m. on any day and sunrise of the immediately following day So does the curfew apply to everyone under 18 or is it okay to be out after 10/11 (each one says a different time) if you've had your license for at least year?

Hawkes Growing up, I would always stand in awe and stare every time I saw a police officer. Whether at the mall with my parents, or seeing a squad car driving down the road, Police officers were my heroes. That dark blue uniform, with that shiny badge glistening in the sunlight displayed authority to me, it portrayed the “good guys”, that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up.20 years has now passed since I first pinned on my badge, and I can tell you that I have met several young people that had the same hopes and dreams that I had as a youngster. But, unfortunately, some of them have made poor decisions in their late teen and early 20’s years that have made it difficult for them to fulfill their dream of becoming a cop. No one says you have to wear a halo or be perfect to be a cop, but there are some things that may hinder you in your quest to become a law enforcement officer. Below are 5 tips to help you stay the course, especially in your post high school and college years.1. Alcohol and Drugs If they are illegal, don’t do them, period. Resist any temptation from peers. If you are at a party or in a social setting where there is a potential to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, then leave.

The law, to date, had been that police cannot enter a home without a warrant unless they had both (a) probable cause and (b) \"\"exigent circumstances\"\" in which getting a warrant would not make sense.

"text": "White Cop Indicted for Killing Black Manby Chris Allen | Dec 5, 2014577 shares Share Tweet Plus Here is a dirty cop story you likely won’t hear about in the lamestream media. That’s because when a white cop is indicted for killing a black man, the Left can’t race pimp. And that’s what happened recently in South Carolina, where former police chief of Eutaville, Richard Combs was indicted by a grand jury after killing Bernard Bailey during an altercation in 2011. The policeman, Richard Combs is white, and Bernard Bailey was black. A three-year federal investigation found that the killing was not a hate crime, the investigation being part of the reason for the delay in getting the case to court. Carl B. Grant, the lawyer for Bailey’s family made a point of saying that this wasn’t Ferguson or New York, where the Grand Juries found no reason to indict:“They found probable cause. Justice will be served. The brand of justice, ironically, in this state is proven at this moment across America. It may even be higher than that we see in New York City.” Grant said."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Allergan. An allergen is a type of antigen that produces an abnormally vigorous immune response in which the immune system fights off a perceived threat that would otherwise be harmless to the body. Such reactions are called allergies. In technical terms, an allergen is an antigen capable of stimulating a type-I hypersensitivity reaction in atopic individuals through Immunoglobulin E (Ig E) responses. [ 1] Most humans mount significant Immunoglobulin E responses only as a defense against parasitic infections. However, some individuals may respond to many common environmental antigens. This hereditary predisposition is called atopy. In atopic individuals, non-parasitic antigens stimulate inappropriate Ig E production, leading to type I hypersensitivity. Sensitivities vary widely from one person (or other animal) to another. A very broad range of substances can be allergens to sensitive individuals."

"text": "\"Breadcrumb navigation Home ▸ Ask The Expert ▸ Allergen levels and altitude Share |Allergen levels and altitude Search again Q:4/27/2015 Is there any evidence that altitude contributes to severity of seasonal allergy symptoms? From what I have read, average pollen count correlates directly with temperate climate. I would expect pollen and mold counts to be lower at higher altitudes (where humidity is lower and there are fewer deciduous trees), but have been unable to find any literature looking specifically at this variable. A: You are correct that climate including the effects of altitude affect seasonal allergen exposure. In general, drier environments have less allergen levels due to less growth of the plants and fungi that produce seasonal allergen, pollen and spores. Measurements of these airborne particles demonstrated that the outdoor levels are influenced by temperature, wind direction, humidity and rainfall and light exposure. In general, the levels of allergen will be lower at higher altitudes, although there are prolific pollen producing trees in the mountains. The season of pollen production would in general be shorter than in lower altitudes. Most of the literature related to allergy, asthma, bronchial hyperreactivity and clinical symptoms and altitude are focused on the impact of changes in altitude influencing indoor dust mite levels. Dust mite growth is very humidity and temperature dependent; thus, increased altitude reduces ambient humidity and generally reduces indoor dust mite allergen concentration."

Each year, millions of Americans have allergic reactions to food. Although most food allergies cause relatively mild and minor symptoms,some food allergies can cause severe reactions, and may even be life-threatening. There is no cure for food allergies. Strict avoidance of food allergens — and early recognition and management of allergic reactions to food — are important measures to prevent serious health consequences. FDA’s Role: Labeling To help Americans avoid the health risks posed by food allergens, FDA enforces the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act applies to the labeling of foods regulated by FDA which includes all foods except poultry, most meats, certain egg products, and most alcoholic beverages which are regulated by other Federal agencies. The Act requires that food labels must clearly identify the food source names of any ingredients that are one of the major food allergens or contain any protein derived from a major food allergen. As a result, food labels help allergic consumers identify offending foods or ingredients so they can more easily avoid them. What Are Major Food Allergens?"

The objective of the group was to examine the general food CGMP regulation in 21 CFR Part 110 (hereinafter CGMP regulation) and determine whether the regulation was in need of modernization. Also, the group was specifically tasked to focus on risk-based preventive controls, i.e. those that would have the greatest impact on assuring food safety. The working group concluded that there have been changes in both the food industry and in the science of food safety that indicate a need for modernization. In 2003, the working group initiated research programs to identify those areas where GMP-type controls could have the greatest impact on assuring food safety. In 2004, the working group presented its preliminary findings from this research and engaged the public in three public meetings held across the country and through a Federal Register notice calling for comments on food CGMP modernization. This report summarizes the public comments and details the working group's key findings."

Many people know pollen allergy as “hay fever.” Experts usually refer to pollen allergy as “ seasonal allergic rhinitis .”Each spring, summer and fall, plants release tiny pollen grains to fertilize other plants of the same species. Most of the pollens that cause allergic reactions come from trees, weeds and grasses. These plants make small, light and dry pollen grains that travel by the wind. Grasses are the most common cause of allergy. Ragweed is a main cause of weed allergies. Other common sources of weed pollen include sagebrush, pigweed, lamb’s quarters and tumbleweed. Certain species of trees, including birch, cedar and oak, also produce highly allergenic pollen."

An eye allergy, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, is an adverse immune response that occurs when the eye comes into contact with an irritating substance. This substance is known as an allergen. Allergens may include pollen, dust, or smoke. The immune system normally defends the body against harmful invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, to ward off illnesses. In people with eye allergies, however, the immune system mistakes an allergen for a dangerous substance. This causes the immune system to create chemicals that fight against the allergen, even though it is harmless. The reaction leads to numerous irritating symptoms, such as itchy, red, and watery eyes. In some people, eye allergies may also be related to eczema and asthma. Over-the-counter medications can usually help relieve eye allergy symptoms, but people with severe allergies may require additional treatment."

Children with food allergies are more likely to have asthma, eczema, and other types of allergies. Some food allergies can be outgrown. Studies have shown that the severity of food allergies can change throughout a person’s life. “There is no cure for food allergies,” says Stefano Luccioli, M.

Ozone depletion and climate change are linked in a number of ways, but ozone depletion is not a major cause of climate change. Atmospheric ozone has two effects on the temperature balance of the Earth. It absorbs solar ultraviolet radiation, which heats the stratosphere. It also absorbs infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, effectively trapping heat in the troposphere. Therefore, the climate impact of changes in ozone concentrations varies with the altitude at which these ozone changes occur. The major ozone losses that have been observed in the lower stratosphere due to the human-produced chlorine- and bromine-containing gases have a cooling effect on the Earth's surface. On the other hand, the ozone increases that are estimated to have occurred in the troposphere because of surface-pollution gases have a warming effect on the Earth's surface, thereby contributing to the \"\"greenhouse\"\" effect. In comparison to the effects of changes in other atmospheric gases, the effects of both of these ozone changes are difficult to calculate accurately."

"text": "\"Depletion of the Ozone Layer Last updated January 7, 2018 5:44:06 PM PST Share Table of contents The earth's stratospheric ozone layer plays a critical role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. In the last thirty years, it has been discovered that stratospheric ozone is depleting as a result of anthropogenic pollutants. There are a number of chemical reactions that can deplete stratospheric ozone; however, some of the most significant of these involves the catalytic destruction of ozone by halogen radicals such as chlorine and bromine. Introduction The atmosphere of the Earth is divided into five layers. In order of closest and thickest to farthest and thinnest the layers are listed as follows: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The majority of the ozone in the atmosphere resides in the stratosphere, which extends from six miles above the Earth’s surface to 31 miles. Humans rely heavily on the absorption of ultraviolet B rays by the ozone layer because UV-B radiation causes skin cancer and can lead to genetic damage. The ozone layer has historically protected the Earth from the harmful UV rays, although in recent decades this protection has diminished due to stratospheric ozone depletion. Figure : These images from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) show the progressive depletion of ozone over Antarctica from 1979 to 1999. This \"\"ozone hole\"\" has extended to cover an area as large as 10.5 million square miles in September 1998."

Contents Human activities cause ozone depletion and global warming How ozone works The ozone hole The Montreal Protocol Does global warming have an impact on the stratospheric ozone layer? The Moon hovering over Earth's atmosphere. Human activities cause ozone depletion and global warming Ozone (O 3) depletion does not cause global warming, but both of these environmental problems have a common cause: human activities that release pollutants into the atmosphere altering it. Global warming is caused primarily by putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars. Carbon dioxide spreads around the planet like a blanket, and is one of the main gases responsible for the absorption of infrared radiation (felt as heat), which comprises the bulk of solar energy. Ozone depletion occurs when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases formerly found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere (see details below). Ozone sits in the upper atmosphere and absorbs ultraviolet radiaton, another type of solar energy that's harmful to humans, animals and plants. CFCs and halons cause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules, reducing ozone's ultraviolet radiation-absorbing capacity. How ozone works How ozone is distributed in the atmosphere."

Layers of the atmosphere (not to scale). The Earth's ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 20 to 30 km (12 to 19 mi). Ozone depletion describes two related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about four percent in the total amount of ozone in Earth's stratosphere (the ozone layer ), and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone around Earth's polar regions. [ 1] The latter phenomenon is referred to as the ozone hole. There are also springtime polar tropospheric ozone depletion events in addition to these stratospheric phenomena. The main cause of ozone depletion and the ozone hole is man-made chemicals, especially man-made halocarbon refrigerants, solvents, propellants, and foam- blowing agents ( chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs), HCFCs, halons ), referred to as ozone-depleting substances ( ODS ). These compounds are transported into the stratosphere by the winds after being emitted at the surface. ["

Because this section uses the chemical reactions in the earth’s atmosphere for examples, we start with some background information about our atmosphere. Atmospheric scientists view the atmosphere as divided into layers, each with its own characteristics. The lowest layer, which extends from the surface of the earth to about 10 km (about 6 miles), is called the troposphere. For our discussion, we are most interested in the stratosphere, which extends from about 10 km to about 50 km (about 31 miles). Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere (from about 50 km to 80 km) and above that is the thermosphere (from about 80 km to 150 km). The stratosphere contains a mixture of gases, including oxygen molecules, O 2 , and ozone molecules, O 3. These gases play a very important role in protecting the earth from high-energy ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The ultraviolet portion of the radiant energy spectrum can be divided into three parts: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. UV-A, which includes radiant energy of wavelengths from about 320-400 nm, passes through the stratosphere and reaches us on the surface of the earth. We are glad it does, because UV-A radiation provides energy for our production of vitamin D. The shorter wavelength UV-B radiation (from about 290 nm to 320 nm) has higher energy than the UV-A radiation."

"text": "Tweet Community Email Most Valuable Ingredient: Lentils They’re not glamorous, but they are delicious, nutritious, fast-cooking and inexpensive. What more do you need? Article By: Debbie Koenig The Stats Lentils are small, but they pack a huge nutritional punch: They’re among the best plant sources of iron; a very good source of filling, cholesterol-lowering fiber; and a good source of protein. They also offer good to excellent amounts of two B-vitamins and six key minerals. Prices range from under a dollar up to $10 a pound, with brown being the least expensive and French green costing the most. One pound dried yields from five to seven cups of cooked lentils, so even the pricier varieties are still a bargain. A full pound of dried lentils has only 29 Points Plus ™ values and yields 10-14 1/2-cup servings, so the cost per Points Plus value ranges from just pennies to $.33 — a price that’s hard to beat for such enormous nutritional benefits. ( A 1/2-cup serving of cooked lentils is just 2 Points Plus values. ) The Score Though lentils come in a rainbow of colors, the easiest to find are brown (sometimes labeled green — they’re khaki colored, really), French green (also known as Lentils du Puy, they’re the most elegant — and the most expensive), red (more of a salmon shade, they turn golden when cooked), and black (sometimes called Beluga, since they resemble caviar). When buying lentils, make sure they’re a uniform color, firm, smooth, and dry."

"text": "Lentilsposted in Vegetables and Beans by Kathy Maisterprevious | next You might not consider lentils a basic food (not everyone grows up familiar with them), but they are a great food to get to know and add to your repertoire. Lentils cook in about 15-25 minutes, are high in fiber, are an inexpensive source of protein, and taste really good! They have a hearty, rich, nutty flavor that holds up to lots of seasoning. Lentils are not only great in soups, but can also be eaten hot or cold, as a hearty main or side dish. They are very popular in French, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Buying & Storing Lentils Lentils fall into the category of food called “Pulses”, which includes peas and beans as well. As with the peas and beans, there are many types of lentils. Except for the color variations they all look pretty much the same, although some are a bit smaller than others. The brown ones (pictured above) are the most common and the least expensive. You can also buy green, red, orange, black, and white lentils."

You don’t have to go vegetarian or vegan to reap the benefits often attributed to those lifestyles, including reduced risk of heart attack and cancer. Simply cutting back on the amount of meat you eat each day can help. With the following meatless options you’ll still be getting plenty of protein in your diet, so you won’t have to worry about suffering from symptoms associated with low protein levels, including muscle pains, low energy, and trouble sleeping. Here are the top 20 good sources of protein that aren’t meat, ranked in order from highest to lowest in protein per 100 grams.1. Seitan – 75g per 100g Blowing away the competition is seitan, also known as wheat gluten, which is made up of 75% protein. That’s pretty impressive, and 100g of it provides more than your daily requirement of protein. Added features include it being low in sodium and carbohydrates, high in iron, and a good source of calcium. It’s also very low in fat, which makes it a great addition to many diet programs as a way to get protein with no cholesterol and not much fat added. As the name wheat gluten suggests, you wouldn’t want to eat this on a gluten-free diet because it’s made of the exact stuff that you’re trying to avoid when eating gluten free."

There isn't any plumbing or electricity in the 48\"\" span of wall I'd like to use. The inside of the wall is sheetrock and studs' the outside of the wall is brick. As far as I can tell, the brick is just a facade and the 2x4 framing does all the load bearing. ( I say this because the brick facades are only present on small parts of the exterior -- the rest is siding...) So, a few questions: 1) What is the best way to remove brick with the hopes of reusing some for trimming out the new window? 2) While I have a 48\"\" wide x 36\"\" tall hole in the first story of a two story (~20ft) brick wall, are there precautions that need to be taken to avoid some kind of collapse? Furthermore, is there some type of reinforcing that needs to be installed between the brick cutout and new window? 3) Could someone tell me if my general plan sounds good? Here goes: a. take down the sheetrock walls in the kitchen."

An excerpt on lentils! You can purchase it online from Amazon. It’s a great resource for healthy eating!Lentils are the world’s oldest cultivated legume, likely domesticated around 7000 BCE. The botanical nomenclature Lens culinaris means “cooking lens.” And our word for the optical instrument no doubt comes from its similarity in shape to the small, round, flat shape that distinguishes all varieties of lentils. Colors range from slate green, brown, and black to reddish orange, coral, and gold, with all varieties having unique, delicious flavors and textures but a similar nutritional profile. One of the easiest beans to digest, lentils also rate as a favorite because of their short preparation time and versatility. Unlike other beans, no presoaking is required. Pressure-cooking is not recommended for any variety of lentils, as the foam that they create during the cooking process can clog pressure vents."

"text": "\"No. 2 - Legumes As with the wide variety of cabbages you can find in the market, there are lots of different legumes (some of which you probably didn't think were related to each other). In botany the term legume has two meanings. Legume is a species of plant but the term also refers to any fruit that develops seeds lined up in a pod (most often the pod splits open down a seam on one side like “peas in a pod”). Legumes are also known as Pulses. Legumes are great sources of protein and fiber. I have written on this in many columns and sidebars on the Dr. Gourmet site. Making beans your choice for a starch with dinner as with Black Bean Cakes or Sea Bass with White Beans. Minestrone or Split Pea Soup with a salad makes a great dinner. Fill your pantry with canned or dried beans like kidneys, garbanzos and black beans."

They are grown in pods, which contain one or two seeds each. There are many varieties that are classified as large or small and are round, oval or heart shaped. They are generally no more than a 1/4 of an inch in diameter. Lentils cook much faster than dried beans and do not require soaking. Lentil seeds are sold whole or split and some have had the hulls removed. The green and brown lentils, which hold their shape best after cooking, are the most common types used in the United States. Red lentils are also popular but they do not hold their shape as well when cooked. Lentils have good nutritional value, containing dietary fiber, B-vitamins, protein, and hardly any calories."

"text": "Lentil soup is a nutritional powerhouse. It combines the nutrients, protein, good carbs and fiber in lentils with the antioxidant power of veggies, herbs and spices. Adding a little good fat from the extra virgin olive oil rounds it out into a perfectly balanced meal. Lentils are especially high in B vitamins and minerals like iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Many nutritionists consider lentils one of the healthiest things you can eat, especially if you’re on a tight budget. This soup is incredibly easy to make and really inexpensive, even with organic ingredients you can make a giant pot of soup that will feed 6-8 people for less than $10. I like to use the small dark green lentils (a.k.a. French lentils) because they’re sturdy and cook quickly. All lentil varieties are great and very nutritious, try different types (red, green, etc.) and find what you like best."

"text": "Can Lentils Cause Heartburn?by LINDA RAY Aug. 14, 2017Lentils are part of the legume family, which is notorious for causing bloating, gas and heartburn, especially if you have a weakened digestive system. Lentils are a high-fiber food that can help ease constipation and promote regularity. They also are high in protein, making them an ideal substitute for meat. Heartburn occurs when acid from undigested food backs up through your esophagus and causes a burning sensation in your chest. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Complications Occasional heartburn typically does not cause complications, but when it occurs regularly, heartburn can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Your esophagus can undergo damage, which may require surgery to repair. Prescription medication may be needed to tame the severity of the acid buildup. Options While beans and legumes may cause discomfort, it may be the way you cook them that causes the heartburn. Spices and oils are common culprits of heartburn. Onions and garlic, commonly used to prepare lentils also may cause the acid buildup and heartburn."

"text": "A Guide to Indian Dal, Lentils, Beans, and Pulses January 23, 2014 By Puja Thomas-Patel 98 Comments So many different Indian foods are made with lentils. From kichidee (simple rice and lentils) to soups, flat breads and even some Maggie noodles (think Ramen noodles) are made from lentils. Beans and lentils are a primary source of protein for many vegetarians, and India is full of vegetarians. When I was a kid, I didn’t like lentils very much. I especially hated cooked mung beans. For some weird reason, I loved snacking on sprouted mung beans but wouldn’t touch them the second they were cooked. My mom used to try to get me to eat mung dal (soup) by calling it “French soup” and trying to convince me I would like it because I liked Western food. As an adult, lentils are more of a comfort food for me and I even like mung dal now. I know there is a lot of confusion on the difference between lentils, beans and dals. So let me try to clear some of it up."

In addition, lentils are a nutritional addition to soups, salads and vegetable stir-fries.

The same serving size also has an estimated 7 milligrams of iron and 731 milligrams of potassium, along with a total of 230 calories. Preparation and Cooking Rinse off raw lentils before preparing them to get rid of dirt and other debris. Soak the lentils in water for seven hours and then let them sprout. According to \"\"Vegetarian Times\"\" magazine, the sprouting process can take two to three days. You do not have to soak the lentils before boiling."

Lentils are inexpensive, highly nutritious, and can be stored for a long time without refrigeration. These features have made lentils a staple food in many cultures across the globe. Nutritional Value Lentils contain the third highest amount of protein of any legume, listed only below soybeans and hemp. The high protein content and low cost have made them an indispensable food item in many third world countries and among vegetarian populations. Although lentils are not considered a complete protein, when coupled with grains, such as rice or wheat, all essential amino acids are provided. Lentils, as with many legumes, are also high in iron, fiber, and folate. Hulled lentil varieties, such as red and some black lentils, provide less fiber than varieties with the hull intact (green and brown). Lentil Varieties Although there are several varieties of lentils grown throughout the world, the following varieties are the most common and are most likely to be found in grocery stores or as a recipe ingredient."

Split peas and lentils are the edible fruits of pulse crops. Pulses derive their name from the Latin puls, meaning thick soup. Split peas and lentils both provide hearty alternatives to meat-based meals, but each has a distinct taste, texture and cooking requirements. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Basics Peas, also named Pisum sativum, have husks that cover them, which although edible, dilute the fruit's earthy, rich flavor. Hulled and split peas cook faster, too, making them more convenient for busy cooks. Lentils vary in size, have a protective skin and can be red, gray yellow or black. Grocers carry either whole or split lentils, halved ones taking less time to cook, and each variety of lentil features subtly different texture and taste.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cranial kinesis is the term for significant movement of skull bones relative to each other in addition to movement at the joint between the upper and lower jaw. It is usually taken to mean relative movement between the upper jaw and the braincase. [ 1]Most vertebrates have some form of kinetic skull. [ 1] Cranial kinesis, or lack thereof, is usually linked to feeding. Animals which must exert powerful bite forces, such as crocodiles, often have rigid skulls with little or no kinesis, for maximum strength. Animals which swallow large prey whole ( snakes ), which grip awkwardly shaped food items ( parrots eating nuts), or, most often, which feed in the water via suction feeding often have very kinetic skulls, frequently with numerous mobile joints. In the case of mammals, which have akinetic skulls (except for perhaps hares), the lack of kinesis is most likely to be related to the secondary palate, which prevents relative movement. [ 1] This in turn is a consequence of the need to be able to create a suction during suckling. Ancestry also plays a role in limiting or enabling cranial kinesis. Significant cranial kinesis is rare in mammals (the human skull shows no cranial kinesis at all)."

Basis of Charges - Gross Tonnage The basis of charges for the services of pilots and the boarding and landing fees shall be the Gross Tonnage (GT) as calculated under the provisions of the International Tonnage Convention (1969). Associated British Ports reserves the right to add a surcharge to the charges payable, or to impose an assessment of Gross Tonnage for the payment of such charges for any vessel which has not been measured in accordance with the above Convention. Pilot National Pension Fund (PNPF)At present, there is a 15% PNPF surcharge applied to the published Pilot Charges. This is shown as an itemised cost on billing invoices. Fuel Surcharge We are pleased to advise that the fuel surcharge to the pilot boarding and landing account that was removed in January 2015 is still not being reapplied. This is based on recent falls in the price of marine diesel to levels more aligned to annual RPI inflation over the period since the surcharge was introduced in April 2011.

Moderately sized and usually quite docile, these snakes appeal to the beginner as well as to the experienced herpetoculturist. The scientific name for the genus of kingsnakes and milksnakes is Lampropeltis. Lampro is derived from the Greek word for \"\"shiny\"\" and peltis, Greek for \"\"shields.\"\" The name is a very accurate descriptor of these snakes with their glossy, smooth, well-defined scales. Lampropeltis getula (kingsnakes), L. triangulum (milksnakes) and the other six species (comprising forty-five subspecies) can be found throughout most of the United States, the southern parts of Ontario and Quebec, down through Central America and parts of South America. Kings can be found in arid deserts, swamplands, farmlands, grasslands, pine and deciduous forests, up to 8,500 feet in the Rockies and to 10,000 in the Andes, and in riparian habitats. These constrictors, in the wild they consume a variety of prey, including other snakes, amphibians, lizards, rodents, birds, even rattlesnakes. One of the most interesting thing about some of the kings and milks, and something which unfortunately works only too well, is their mimicry of the venomous coral snakes. As most people cannot tell the difference and many believe that all snakes are uniformly dangerous, wild kings and milks are often met with the business end of a shovel rather than the respect they deserve for their efforts in keeping the rodent populations in check."

About the Chameleon The Order Squamata In order to know more about the veiled chameleon it is first important to understand a little more about the chameleon in general. The chameleon is a reptile in the Squamata order. The Squamata order of reptiles makes up the largest group of reptiles on Earth and not only include chameleons but also include a number of other lizards and snakes. All reptiles within the Squamata order are scaled with shields or horny looking scales."

When cases are presented, it is important to characterise whether the cardiac disease is the primary cause of the illness or the secondary result of other systemic illness. It seems that the majority of the cases presented are secondary to systemic illness. Primary disease may involve right AV valve insufficiency, which has been reported in one carpet python, resulting in congestive heart failure. Due to the lack of septation in squamata and chelonia, elevated diastolic pressures could be shared across all ventricular compartments, resulting in bilateral heart failure. Murmurs can occasionally be auscultated. Tachycardia has been observed with cardiac insufficiency, and cardiomegaly may be evident on physical examination. Dilated cardiomyopathy has been anecdotally reported in snakes as spontaneous disease as well as following infection. Aortic aneurism has been reported in a Burmese python; pericardial effusion of unknown etiology in a turtle; myocardial listeriosis in a bearded dragon; myocardial salmonellosis in a boa; cardiovascular spirorchid flukes can cause endocarditis, arteritis and thrombosis in green turtles."

[ 3] They became especially common during the Jurassic Period, thriving until their disappearance due to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 million years ago. They had a worldwide oceanic distribution. Plesiosaurs were among the first fossil reptiles discovered. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, scientists realised how distinctive their build was and they were named as a separate order in 1835. The first plesiosaurian genus, the eponymous Plesiosaurus, was named in 1821. Since then, more than a hundred valid species have been described. In the early twenty-first century, the number of discoveries has increased, leading to an improved understanding of their anatomy, relationships and way of life. Plesiosaurs had a broad flat body and a short tail."

"text": "Functionalism Functionalism is a theory about the nature of mental states. According to functionalism, mental states are identified by what they do rather than by what they are made of. This can be understood by thinking about artifacts like mousetraps and keys. In particular, the original motivation for functionalism comes from the helpful comparison of minds with computers. But that is only an analogy. The main arguments for functionalism depend on showing that it is superior to its primary competitors: identity theory and behaviorism. Contrasted with behaviorism, functionalism retains the traditional idea that mental states are internal states of thinking creatures. Contrasted with identity theory, functionalism introduces the idea that mental states are multiply realized. Objectors to functionalism generally charge that it classifies too many things as having mental states, or at least more states than psychologists usually accept. The effectiveness of the arguments for and against functionalism depends in part on the particular variety in question, and whether it is a stronger or weaker version of the theory."

Craft INTRODUCTIONAs the Millenium approaches, the 1990's have seen the introduction of reptiles into the mainstream pet trade and they have managed to work their way into millions of homes as common household pets. Once owned by a few hobbyist or \"\"the kid down the street\"\". These amazing animals have worked their mysterious magic on adults and children alike and are fast becoming as common as fish or birds in millions of households. As a result of captive breeding projects and easier availability through the pet trade many new and unusual species are finding there way into the hands of pet owners. As a result of this newfound popularity and ease of availability many problems are beginning to arise with captive reptiles. One of the most common problems seen with captive reptiles is nutritionally related disorders. This is a direct result of the fact that little information is available on the proper feeding methods of many species. This is a problem that is closely related to the fact that the demand for captive reptiles as pets has grown faster than science's knowledge of their needs. While many species are still considered to be exotic, many species such as the ball python or the (Giant) green iguana have earned a place as common pets in most pet stores. Even with their newfound popularity there is still a lot that needs to be learned and addressed concerning their proper care and feeding."

"text": "The vertebrate skeleton General characteristics In vertebrates the adult skeleton is usually formed of bone or cartilage—living substances that grow with the animal, in contrast to the many types of invertebrate skeleton that do not grow or are dead secretions, deposits, or crystals. The internal position of bones and their central position in limbs provide firm support for small and large animals. Muscles can be inserted on all surfaces of the skeleton, in contrast to the limitations of the cuticular skeleton of arthropods, in which muscles occur on only one side. Antagonistic muscles are easily placed upon vertebrate bones to allow contrasting movements at the joints between them.vertebrate: skeleton Selected vertebrate skeletons. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The component parts of the skeletons of vertebrates, although remarkably uniform in basic plan, are subject to wide superficial differences, which are associated with each class and with adaptations for particular habits or environments. The axial skeleton consists of the skull and the vertebral column. The appendicular skeleton supports the fins in fish and the legs in tetrapods (four-legged animals) and is associated with limb girdles, which become progressively more closely linked with the vertebral column in the higher vertebrates. Superficially there may be an exoskeleton of scales; some scales on the head may be incorporated into the skull. Swimming of a typical fish occurs by undulations passing along a greater or lesser part of the body. The mechanism for caudal (tail) propulsion involves the vertebral column, the axial musculature, and the lateral surfaces of the body and caudal fin."

[ 2] Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty five times independently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. [ 3] Legless lizards resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, and Pygopodidae ). Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans.

In the most commonly encountered animals, this stage is the adult, although some animals (corals) have sessile (nonmobile) adult phases and mobile juvenile forms. Animal and plant evolutionary history both show the development of multicellularity and the move from water to land (as well as secondary adaptation back to water). Animals developed external or internal skeletons to provide support, skin to prevent or lessen water loss, muscles that allowed them to move in search of food, brains and nervous systems for integration of stimuli, and internal digestive systems. Most animals have a life cycle with a pre-adult stage, a predominance of the diploid stage, and a series of embryonic developmental stages. Evolution and Classification of Animals Animals probably evolved from marine protists, although no group of protists has been identified from an at-best sketchy fossil record for early animals. Cells in primitive animals show similarities to collared choanoflagellates as well as pseudopodia-producingamoeboid cells. Multicellular animal fossils and burrows (presumably made by multicellular animals) first appear 700 million years ago, during the late precambrian time (the Proterozoic). All known Proterozoic animal fossils had soft body parts: no shells or hard (and hence preservable as fossils) parts."

Aerobic organisms of these types—such as birds, mammals, and reptiles—require oxygen to release energy via respiration, in the form of the metabolism of energy-rich molecules such as glucose. Breathing is only one process that delivers oxygen to where it is needed in the body and removes carbon dioxide. Another important process involves the movement of blood by the circulatory system. Gas exchange occurs in the pulmonary alveoli by passive diffusion of gases between the alveolar gas and the blood in lung capillaries. Once these dissolved gases are in the blood, the heart powers their flow around the body. The medical term for normal relaxed breathing is eupnea."

"text": "Lipids vs. Carbohydrates for Energy Storageby SYLVIE TREMBLAY, MSC Oct. 03, 2017Your body requires energy to function: each cell relies on a source of energy to drive the chemical reactions required for digestion and metabolism, cellular communication, cell division and growth, hormone synthesis and several other physiological processes. Your body can use both carbohydrates and lipids, or fats, to store energy. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Energy Content Both carbohydrates and lipids serve as sources of energy, but these compounds contain different capacities for energy storage. Each gram of carbohydrates stores 4 calories of energy, whereas each gram of lipid stores 9 calories. As a result, lipids serve as a more compact way to store energy, since it contains more energy per gram than carbohydrates. As a result, your body tends to use fat to store energy over long periods of time and uses carbohydrates to store energy short-term. Forms of Storage In general, your body stores lipids in the form of triglycerides. Each triglyceride contains three fatty acid compounds, all bound to a glycerol chemical backbone. Most trigylcerides are stored within adipose tissue, made up of fat cells distributed throughout your body, though your blood also contains small amounts of tryiglycerides. Carbohydrates in your body are stored as glycogen, a large carbohydrate molecule made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units of glucose, a simple sugar."

"text": "\"Brainwaves The Food Fight in Your Gut: Why Bacteria Will Change the Way You Think about Calories STAFF By Ferris Jabr on September 12, 2012Campylobacter bacteria (Image by Agricultural Research Service, via Wikimedia Commons)There's a food fight in your guts. Not the Tater-Tot-chucking, spoonful-of-mashed potato-flinging, melee-in-the-cafeteria type of food fight. Rather, your intestines are the site of an ancient and complex war between your own cells and trillions of bacteria—a war over what happens to your food as it moves through your body. Some of the bacteria form genuine alliances with your intestinal cells, breaking down tough plant fibers that your cells cannot handle on their own, or chopping up lengthy caterpillar molecules into more digestible packages, in exchange for a portion of the day's calories. Other bacteria lurk and loiter, sipping the nutrient-rich broth sloshing in your intestines as they wait for their chance to overrun your guts at the expense of your health. Every day, these microorganisms squabble amongst themselves for greater access to available nutrients. And sometimes your cells fight back, working extra hard to digest the food you eat before those persistent microbes help themselves to a disproportionately large serving. Studies suggest that the diversity of bacterial species in our guts partially determines how efficiently our cells process and store food and that, in a feedback loop, what we eat alters the demographics of the bacteria in our intestines. Commonly prescribed antibiotics are responsible for unintended microbial casualties, further changing how our resident population of microorganisms responds to our diet. Although scientists are still figuring out the rules of this intricate food fight, it's evident by now that our guts are not entirely our own—they are composite organs, part-human, part-microbe, which evolved, and continue to function, as communities whose many minute members are sometimes cooperative, sometimes combative and always hungry."

The Insulin/Fat Connection The primary source of body fat for most Americans is not dietary fat but carbohydrate, which is converted to blood sugar and then, with the aid of insulin, to fat by fat cells. Remember, insulin is our main fatbuilding hormone. Eat a plate of pasta. Your blood sugar will rise and your insulin level (if you have type 2 diabetes or are not diabetic) will also rise in order to cover, or prevent, the jump in blood sugar. All the blood sugar that is not burned as energy or stored as glycogen is turned into fat. So you could, in theory, acquire more body fat from eating a high-carbohydrate “fat-free” dessert than you would from eating a tender steak nicely marbled with fat. Even the fat in the steak is more likely to be stored if it is accompanied by bread, potatoes, corn, and so on. The fatty-acid building blocks of fats can be metabolized (burned), stored, or converted by your body into other compounds, depending on what it requires. Consequently, fat is always in flux in the body, being stored, appearing in the blood, and being converted to energy. The amount of triglycerides (the storage form of fat) in your bloodstream at any given time will be determined by your heredity, your level of exercise, your blood sugar levels, your diet, your ratio of visceral (abdominal) fat to lean body mass (muscle), and especially by your recent consumption of carbohydrate."

Their dietary requirements are high relative to the micronutrients, also known as vitamins and minerals. All macronutrients are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes other elements. As potential calorie sources, they can be oxidized to produce ATP, the body’s energy currency. Mostly, though, the macronutrients differ with regard to individual functions and properties. For example, proteins and carbohydrates are water-soluble, but most lipids are not, so lipids require some extra work for the body to process.

Triglycerides are also present in foods like vegetable oils and animal fats. The triglycerides in our blood are a mixture of triglycerides obtained from dietary sources and triglycerides produced by the body as sources of energy. Elevated triglyceride levels can be caused by a variety of disease processes. Elevated triglyceride levels are considered to be a risk factor for developing hardening of the arteries ( atherosclerosis) because many of the triglyceride-containing lipoproteins that transport fat in the bloodstream also transport cholesterol, a known contributor to atherosclerosis.

Gas is a natural by-product of digestive fermentation in the rumen, and it is expelled continuously as the goat belches. Bloat occurs when gas is trapped in the rumen. It is a life-threatening condition. Frothy Bloat Frothy bloat is usually caused by overeating lush, damp feeds such as clover, alfalfa or legume pastures.

Get goat on it's feet if down and start walking it around Elevate front end of goat if laying down Massage & Pat rumen (high on left side of goat behind last rib) to help release gas ( the same method as you would use to burp a baby)If goat start to belch up gas, then give it a tablespoon baking soda,either dry or in a small amount of water (I find putting it in a tablespoon and adding enough water to make a paste works very well as goats are a natural for spoon feeding with the upper dental pad)If the gas does NOT come up with belching while massaging the rumen administer TIDE laundry detergent (one tablespoon of Tide powder mixed with approx 60 cc of water) carefully via tubing If all other methods are not producing a relief from the excess gas, then is the time for the decision to use the trocar Early Symptoms of Bloat Goat shows signs of tight rumen area- left side being much fuller than the right side Off feed Hanging head or holding neck straight out Grinding teeth Moaning or groaning Crying out while kicking at belly (if this is a wether make sure to determine that this is Not urinary calculi)Goat not chewing cud Goat not belching (goats belch many times an hour typically)No rumen sounds when you put your ear to left side (normally should sound like a \"\"gurgling stomach\"\")Late Stages of Bloat Goat crying out in pain Obvious extreme distress Gasping for air Tongue and lips turning blue Goat down and unable to rise Eyes starting to \"\"roll\"\" back in head What causes Bloat? Too much gas forming in the rumen and not being expelled by belching Obstruction in mouth or throat not allowing gas to come up and out Eating too much grain or rich hay - causing an imbalance in the rumen flora Any illness or medications (antibiotics) that may inhibit the natural flora from breaking down the ruminal contents Being let out to eat lush pasture while the dew is still wet Laying in a manner where the head is downhill making the rumen lay in a more forward direction and placement thus not allowing the gas to come out Ruminants being \"\"cud chewing\"\" animals digest their food in a fairly complex manner. One important role of the digestion is fermentation of the food in the largest stomach, the rumen. While this fermentation takes place, gas bubbles occur and typically the goat will belch quite often releasing this gas.. which is perfectly normal (and at times can smell really good but this is my opinion *S*).. When the gases cannot escape for various reasons or too much fermentation is taking place at once..the bubbles get trapped and cause bloat. Click on image for larger view Bloat is one of the easiest situations to recognize IF you know what you are looking for.. ( I can't tell you how many phone calls I have had in the past from distraught goat owners, scared to death their pygmy goat is bloated.. ) Like I said.. it is easy to recognize if you know what to look for: Notice if the goat is feeling obviously uncomfortable, is hanging her head or holding her neck stretched out..she may be moaning, (grinding the teeth is a sign of discomfort..)she may grind her teeth, she may grunt or kick at her sides..she may just lay without any of these signs and the only thing you notice is she seems to be trying to breath out her mouth.. The best way for ANY physiological distress to be noticed is to KNOW each one of your goats and what they do when they are NOT sick; each goat is different.. so while Mary Lou may typically lay and moan and groan after she eats or while basking in the sun.. doesn't mean Sally Mae will do the same.. Know each goat's personality and make note, so when one Does get ill you will know what that particular goats does normally. * Grinding teeth is not normal under any circumstances unless there is a discomfort somewhere.. Stand the goat up and take a look from the rear.. Is the left side higher and fuller than the right side?.. when you tap the left side with your fingers is it tight like a drum?.. if so Most likely she is bloated.. This is a picture of a goat with the typical text book signs of bloat.. Use it for reference..

This milk sugar is found in every kind of milk, whether from goats, cows, or from humans. As babies we have an enzyme called lactase, that will digest the lactose. However many people produce less and less of the enzyme as they grow into adulthood. The Lactose can no longer be properly digested, and remains in the intestine – encouraging the growth of bacterial colonies. Symptoms include anything from stomach-ache, severe cramps, diarrhea, and flatulence. Severity of Lactose intolerance differs from person to person. For some, milk and dairy products must be eliminated completely, – for others they need only be restricted. Lactose Intolerance Diet – Foods to Avoid The following foods contain the same amount of lactose as half a cup of milk: Condensed milk (2 tablespoons)Evaporated milk (1/4 cup)Processed cheese (85 g)Sour cream (1/2 cup)Yogurt (1/2 cup)Ice Cream (1/2 cup)These foods contain small amounts of lactose, and can be tolerated by most people: Butter Cottage cheese Cream cheese Cheese (cheddar, swiss, etc)There are some that experience symptoms from eating breads or breakfast cereals (which may contain a small amount of lactose). In this situation ingredient labels must be read very carefully – even foods like chocolate, and cordials can contain lactose as a sweetener)."

"text": "Goat Cheese Good for Lactose Intolerance Posted on April 14, 2010 in Allergy-free Foods, Kids, Living naturally, Misc., Nutrition in the news, Recommended Products, Weight loss | 6379 Views | 26 Responses I wasn’t surprised when I noticed that I had become lactose-intolerant when I was 21. After all, my sister had been lactose-intolerant since birth and my mother had been off of milk since she made the connection in her years ago that milk products made her quite uncomfortable. Bloating, gassiness, explosive diarreah, constipation, headache… these can all be symptoms of lactose intolerance, particularly if they show up within 1- 12 hours of ingesting a dairy product. Lactose intolerance is not fun, to say the least. It’s particularly common among Mediterranean, Asian, African and other dark-skinned people, but can affect almost anyone. It’s worth noting that mammals didn’t evolve to digest dairy products after weaning, and the human mammal is the only one to continue to drink milk as an adult. Really, lactose intolerance should be no surprise to any of us. Still, life without cheese makes me feel deprived. Evolution didn’t account for the development of cheese."

"text": "Are you lactose intolerant? There’s a good chance that you can still eat foods like cheese and butter (often considered off-limits for people with lactose intolerance) without adverse — and potentially embarrassing — side effects. Kerry Maloney/The Times-Picayune archive One-half cup of vanilla ice cream has 4.9 grams of lactose. A little background info: Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar that’s found primarily in dairy products, and it requires an enzyme called lactase in order to be digested. People who don’t make enough of the lactase enzyme often experience symptoms of lactose intolerance, such as abdominal pain, gas, bloating and diarrhea, when they eat or drink lactose-containing foods such as milk or ice cream. Not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Here’s why many people with lactose intolerance may still be able to indulge in certain dairy products without issue: Butter and many cheeses contain zero grams of carbohydrate, which means they contain zero grams of sugar. And zero sugar means zero lactose, or at least close to it. ( Current labeling laws say that if a food contains less than 0.5 grams of carbohydrate or sugar per serving, these can be listed as zero on the nutrition facts label). Compared to the 12-13 grams of lactose in a single cup of milk, less than 0.5 grams per serving isn’t much."

Benefit 1: Soy milk contains only vegetables proteins Vegetable proteins have the advantage that they cause less loss of calcium through the kidneys. It is known that a diet rich in animal (and dairy protein) creates a higher risk for osteoporosis. Benefit 2: Soy milk contains no lactose About 75 percent of the world population cannot tolerate lactose. Some ethnic groups are more affected than others. For example 75 percent of Africans and 90 percent of Asians have lactose intolerance. As an additional benefit, soy milk contains the prebiotic sugars stachyose and raffinose.

S. you will have to worm your goats on a regular, frequent basis. If you live in the west, northwest, or even northeast parts of the country, you won’t have to worm your goats that often. Worming goats in the southern and southeast parts of the U. S. have become a problem mainly because the parasitic worms have built up a resistance to a number of formerly effective dewormers. Fortunately, there are a number of dewormers that are still considered effective. These dewormers fall into two categories: clear dewormers and white dewormers. Clear dewormers are ivermectin based, while white dewormers are valbazen based. These dewormers are often always a part of prescribed deworming programs. They are effective against the 4 major types of parasitic worms found in goats, sheep, and cattle. These include tapeworms, stomach worms, lungworms, and liver flukes. When your goats needs to be dewormed and what types of products you will use will depend on your goats fecal counts."

"text": "Friendly Kefir for the Lactose Intolerant December 20, 2012 By Sandra 3 Comments People who are lactose intolerant stay away from dairy products because they cannot digest the lactose contents properly. This means, if you are lactose intolerant, you most probably will suffer from bloating, diarrhea and other stomach problems after consuming milk, cheese, butter, gelato or ice cream. This is because you are not producing enough lactase in your body. Lactase is an enzyme whose sole task is to digest lactose. According to recent polls, over 30 million Americans above 20 years old develop lactose intolerance to a certain degree, although the condition is more common among Asians, Hispanics, Africans, and Native Americans. The lactase enzyme needs to simplify and break down lactose, which is sugar in milk, so that the proteins and nutritional contents in lactose may be absorbed in the blood stream. Finally there’s a health drink that can help people digest lactose properly. The health drink is called kefir; it may sound new to you and to a number of people but believe me, it’s been with us for thousands of years already. Let’s take a closer look at kefir and see how it can help the lactose intolerant to finally enjoy milk and other delicious dairy products. Kefir drink is regular milk that has been fermented by a culture of kefir grains."

As always since I am in West Texas, and my readers are all over the world, I leave it to you the reader to figure out which types of plants and techniques will work in your area. What works in my area may not be successful in your area. You should have access to local experts that can tell you what types of plants will do well in your area and when to plant them even if they don't know what types of plants goats like. Also, be sure to ask whether the plants you will use can be toxic under conditions in your area. Some plants that are normally safe are toxic under the right conditions, and you will want to be sure that you won't run into that problem. If you are a producer who has been blessed with native range that is thick with weeds and brush you probably don't need to do anything except maintain proper stocking rates. The best plants for goats are brush and broadleaf weeds. Goats prefer to browse, rather than graze, and will nibble leaves and shoots far above the ground (and worm larvae) that are a source of concentrated nutrients. This type of pasture will result in rapid weight gains, and reduced use of wormers even in areas of high rainfall."

The birth of weak or deformed lambs which are alive, but die shortly after birth can also technically be labeled as abortion. The causes of abortion can be both physical or infectious. The three most frequently observed infectious causes of abortion in ewes in the United States are Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii), Enzootic Abortion (Chlamydia), and Vibrio (Campylobacter).

"text": "Common Goat Diseases By admin on Sunday, September 15th, 2013 | No Comments Common Goat Diseases Like other farm animals, goats also suffer from various diseases especially if they fail to take occasional vaccination. These goat diseases may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic among others. As most of these diseases can be hardly determined due to their identical symptoms, it would be advisable for owners to have them checked up every once in a while for the benefit of the goat and for the safety of your farm. Ketosis (Acetonemia) is one of the most common goat diseases because of the animal’s inclination to concentrated food. Another problem that farmers deal with is when the goat becomes profoundly infested with worms. This goat disease is known as ‘big head.’ You can tell when the goat has big head if it suddenly develops a swollen head accompanied by paleness of skin. This should not be confused with bloating, another common problem with goats. By observing your goat, you will notice that it frequently urinates, appears anxious, and behaves differently from the rest. At this point, the goat should be taken for consultation to avoid complications."

The amount of selenium that a plant accumulates is dependant on the climate, stage of growth, and plant species. Animals rarely eat selenium toxic plants unless other forages are unavailable. Many times consumption of natural grasses that are on soils with high selenium levels and consumption of contaminated water sources compound the problem."

Symptoms of bloat include signs of pain, such as grinding teeth, depression, or striking out with their legs. In an advanced case, the goat may already be down due to respiratory failure or other complications. If the animal is not in an emergency state, the first step in treatment is to immediately remove the goat from the feed, if that was the cause. Do not give water to a goat who has ingested large quantities of grain, because water will add to the fermentation rate and cause the grain to expand. Wait maybe 12 hours before you give water - after the goat has eaten roughage to help stimulate the rumen. Frothy Bloat Frothy bloat is usually caused by overeating lush, damp feeds such as clover, alfalfa or legume pastures. Green feed that has grown warm in the stack can also create problems. Foam forms in the rumen with tiny bubbles that are impossible for a goat to belch up. Foam is more dangerous than dry bloat."

It might be time for a change: Seaweed is filled with antioxidants, calcium and a broad range of vitamins, but that doesn’t begin to scratch the slippery brown surface of this fascinating food. More From Greatist:11 Enlightening Ways To Get More Out Of Your CSA Vegetables What Are Antioxidants (And Do You Really Need Them)? How To Do The Perfect Push-Up Why It’s Super A member of the algae family, edible seaweed typically comes in three varieties: brown, red and green. The most commonly eaten (and researched) are the brown varieties such as kelp and wakame, followed by red seaweed, which includes nori (yep — that’s what most sushi chefs use). While seaweed-based cuisine has a proud history in many Asian countries, Japan has made it into an art form, employing over twenty different species in their fare. In a restaurant, you’re most likely to consume seaweed in a small kelp ( kombu) salad, simmered into miso soup, or wrapped around a sushi roll. At just two tablespoons per serving, it’s true that seaweed isn’t a realistic source of many vitamins, and its benefits can occasionally be exaggerated. Seaweed contains vitamins A and C, and is also a source of calcium, which is one of the reasons some red seaweed supplements are included as part of some treatment plans for osteoarthritis. However, serving sizes are often not large enough to get a decent boost in these nutrients."

While extreme iodine deficiency is no longer a major problem (thanks to a worldwide salt iodization program put in place in the 90’s), mild deficiency is relatively common.

The actual iodine content is dependent on water in which the seaweed grows, but one sheet (or one gram) of seaweed can contain up to 3,000 mcg. While seaweed may not strike you as food that could ever be a staple in your diet, there are easy and delicious ways to work it into your meal plan. Companies are constantly putting more shelf-stable seaweed-based healthy snacks on the market, so getting in your iodine can be as easy as reaching into your office snack drawer. Eat This!"

Brushing your hair isn’t supposed to rip chunks of it out of your scalp, and strands of hair clinging onto your black mini before your hot date are no fashion statement. Hair loss is something many women dread and many more have to deal with on a daily basis. While it's normal to lose 50 to 100 pieces of hair a day, if you’re losing more than that, you may want to take a page out of Nemo’s book and add kelp and seaweed to your beauty and diet regimen. What’s kelp? The large seaweed plant is part of the brown algae family and is packed full of vitamins. Kelp has been used in Asian countries in soups and salads for centuries as a nutritious, low-calorie food, so it’s about time we in the West take advantage of what this plant has to offer. Kelp for your scalp Kelp contains many of the essential nutrients to ensure hair growth.

One tablespoon of dried sea vegetable will contain between 1/2 milligram and 35 milligrams of iron, and this iron is also accompanied by a measurable amount vitamin C. Since vitamin C acts to increase the bioavailability of plant iron, this combination in sea vegetables may offer a special benefit. Brown algae (including the commonly eaten sea vegetables kombu/kelp, wakame, and arame may be unique among the sea vegetables in their iodine content. Some species from the brown algae genus Laminaria are able to accumulate iodine in up to 30,000 times more concentrated a form than sea water!Sea vegetables may be a unique food source not only of the mineral iodine, but also of the mineral vanadium. As part of their natural defense mechanisms, sea vegetables contain a variety of enzymes called haloperoxidases. These enzymes all require vanadium in order to function. Although this mineral is not as well known as some of the other mineral nutrients, it appears to play a multi-faceted role in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar. While research in this area is still in the preliminary stage and remains mixed in terms of results, vanadium may help to increase our body's sensitivity to insulin by inhibiting a group of enzymes called protein tyrosine phosphatases. It may also help us decrease our body's production of glucose and help us increase our body's ability to store starch in the form of glycogen. Unlike some other types of vegetables, sea vegetables do not appear to depend solely on common polyphenol antioxidants (like flavonoids) or terpenoid antioxidants (like carotenoids) for their total antioxidant capacity."

More From Greatist:11 Enlightening Ways To Get More Out Of Your CSA Vegetables What Are Antioxidants (And Do You Really Need Them)? How To Do The Perfect Push-Up Why It’s Super A member of the algae family, edible seaweed typically comes in three varieties: brown, red and green. The most commonly eaten (and researched) are the brown varieties such as kelp and wakame, followed by red seaweed, which includes nori (yep — that’s what most sushi chefs use). While seaweed-based cuisine has a proud history in many Asian countries, Japan has made it into an art form, employing over twenty different species in their fare. In a restaurant, you’re most likely to consume seaweed in a small kelp ( kombu) salad, simmered into miso soup, or wrapped around a sushi roll. At just two tablespoons per serving, it’s true that seaweed isn’t a realistic source of many vitamins, and its benefits can occasionally be exaggerated. Seaweed contains vitamins A and C, and is also a source of calcium, which is one of the reasons some red seaweed supplements are included as part of some treatment plans for osteoarthritis.

It also helps in foetal growth, boosts heart health, increases circulation, and prevents cancer. What is Wakame? Wakame is an edible seaweed that is commonly used in Japanese cuisine [ 1]. It has an unusual brown or deep green color because it contains fucoxanthin, a unique compound rarely found in vegetables, which has several [ 11] medicinal and nutritional qualities. The scientific name for wakame is Undaria pinnatifida and it is considered as one of the most invasive species of seaweed on the planet because it can grow as much as an inch per day in beaches, blocking other marine life. In Japan, wakame is commonly used in soups, salads, as well as in the form of a side dish. It tastes briny, with a slightly sweet taste. This delicious seaweed is beginning to gain popularity in other parts of the world as well, particularly in France.

"text": "If your IQ is high enough to read these words, you have iodine to thank: this little-known mineral is essential for brain development in infancy, among several other crucial functions. But even though outright iodine deficiency is fairly rare in the developed world, it’s still a danger to be aware of – especially because the combination of a Paleo diet and the modern food environment can unintentionally create a dangerously low dietary iodine intake. So take a look at what iodine is, why you need it, and how to make sure you’re getting enough. What can Iodine Do for You? The first organ that comes to mind when you think of iodine is probably the thyroid, and rightly so. The thyroid needs iodine to synthesize the thyroid hormones T4 and T3, hormones that regulate almost every other metabolic and endocrine reaction in the body. Deficiency of iodine makes it harder for the thyroid to do its job, ultimately leading to hypothyroid symptoms and autoimmune thyroiditis. And since the thyroid is the master switch for all your hormones, keeping it happy is definitely a worthy goal. Iodine also plays an important role in mental health: in developing countries where iodine intake is still inadequate, iodine deficiency is the biggest cause of preventable mental retardation. Fertility in general also requires adequate iodine stores, with the need becoming even more important for women who choose to breastfeed."

"text": "\"Tweet (Natural News) If you feel sluggish, tired or depressed often with some difficulty losing weight no matter what you try, you may be suffering from hypothyroidism, or simply a sluggish thyroid. It's estimated that at least five percent of the population suffers from hypothyroidism. Hormones from the thyroid gland, located in the throat, regulate other glandular functions that ultimately regulate digestion and metabolism rates. Too much thyroid hormone production results in hyperthyroidism, resulting in anxiety and insomnia among other symptoms. But for now, the focus is a sluggish thyroid. Thyroid functions can be tested with a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test along with T3 and T4 testing. T4 is considered a prohormone or hormone enhancer, while T3 is the biochemically active thyroid hormone, much of which is produced by converting T4. A thyroid antibody test is also suggested to ensure there is any thyroid dysfunction is not from an autoimmune disease, such as Graves' disease or Hashimoto thyroiditis. Of course, it's your call if you wish to attempt addressing symptoms without testing. The common nutritional deficiency behind most hypothyroidism is insufficient iodine."

Truth is, most of the sushi that is being consumed these days is not of that standard. It's more the quick cheap variety you get either at neighborhood restaurants or sushi on the go. If you're not careful, sushi can be a very high carb lunch without any protein or vegetables, leaving you hungry and craving more sugar after eating it. Here are a few things to consider before grabbing a quick roll or two:1. Sushi rice is made with sugar and rice vinegar. On average, two tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of rice vinegar is used per two cups of sushi rice. On top of all that sugar, your typical hand roll is 60 - 75% rice — the equivalent carb content of two slices of bread.2. The type of rice used in sushi is short grain rice which spikes blood sugar levels.3. The protein amounts in sushi are very small."

These parts of the brain are also marked with visible gross features, like the gyri and sulci of the cerebrum. Sulci are small grooves; but there are also large grooves called fissures. Fissures divide the cerebral cortex into lobes and also divide the cerebrum into the right and left cerebral hemispheres along the sagittal plane. The fissure involved in this division is called the medial longitudinal fissure. Also worthy of note regarding the lateral view of the brain is that the structures seen from are specifically referred to as “cortex”, except for the brainstem part.

The brainstem acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time. It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. It also determines how we respond to stressful situations (such as taking a test, losing a job, or suffering an illness) by regulating our heart and breathing rate.

The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. It is divided into two cerebral hemispheres. The cerebral cortex is an outer layer of grey matter, covering the core of white matter. The cortex is split into the neocortex and the much smaller allocortex."

This complex system is part of everything we do. It controls the things we choose to do -- like walk and talk -- and the things our body does automatically -- like breathe and digest food. The central nervous system is also involved with our senses -- seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling -- as well as our emotions, thoughts, and memory. The brain is a soft, spongy mass of nerve cells and supportive tissue. It has three major parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The parts work together, but each has special functions. The cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, fills most of the upper skull. It has two halves called the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The cerebrum uses information from our senses to tell us what's going on around us and tells our body how to respond."

Anatomy of the Brain There are different ways of dividing the brain anatomically into regions. Let’s use a common method and divide the brain into three main regions based on embryonic development: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Under these divisions: The forebrain (or prosencephalon) is made up of our incredible cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland among other features. Neuroanatomists call the cerebral area the telencephalon and use the term diencephalon (or interbrain) to refer to the area where our thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland reside. The midbrain (or mesencephalon ), located near the very center of the brain between the interbrain and the hindbrain, is composed of a portion of the brainstem. The hindbrain (or rhombencephalon) consists of the remaining brainstem as well as our cerebellum and pons. Neuroanatomists have a word to describe the brainstem sub-region of our hindbrain, calling it the myelencephalon, while they use the word metencephalon in reference to our cerebellum and pons collectively. Before exploring these different regions of the brain, first let’s define the important types of cells and tissues that are the building blocks of them all. Histology Brain cells can be broken into two groups: neurons and neuroglia."

How do you tell the difference between a quarter and a dime when you reach into your front pocket in search of correct change? The answer to this question is found in your cerebrum. Your cerebrum is the main part of the brain in humans and other vertebrates. Functionally, it obtains information from your surroundings and/or body and then sends that information to a specific part of the cerebrum. The cerebrum interprets the knowledge and decides what must happen next. In short, your cerebrum, although approximately the size of a cantaloupe, holds the instructions for everything you do in your daily life."

The signs and symptoms of a stroke depend on which region of the brain is affected and how severely. The brain has three primary components. Each is responsible for different functions: The Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the largest and most developmentally advanced portion of the brain. It controls a number of higher functions, including speech, emotion, the integration of sensory stimuli, initiation of the final common pathways for movement, and fine control of movement. It is divided into a left and a right hemisphere. The left hemisphere controls the majority of functions on the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere controls most of functions on the left side of the body. Thus, injury to the left cerebral hemisphere produces sensory and motor deficits on the right side, and vice versa. The cerebrum is composed of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes: The frontal lobe is involved in planning, organizing, problem solving and selective attention. The portion known as the prefrontal cortex controls personality and various higher cognitive functions such as behavior and emotions."

In this section we'll talk about the brain's different parts and where they are located. To learn more about the functions of each part of the brain you can check out Brain Parts Function. First let's divide the brain into three basic units: the Forebrain, the Midbrain, and the Hindbrain (shown below).

Carotenoids provide the bright red, orange, or yellow coloration of many vegetables, serve as antioxidants, and can be a source for vitamin A activity. There are more than 600 known natural carotenoids, all of them synthesized only in plants. Carotenoids may be classified as hydrocarbon carotenes or xanthophylls, which are oxygenated derivatives of carotenes. Representative examples of carotenes include β-carotene, alpha-carotene, and lycopene. Examples of xanthophylls include lutein, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, zeaxanthin, and capsorubin. Lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, phytoene, phytofluene and beta-carotene belong to this family. Carotenoids are antioxidants. They play an important role in health maintenance by helping to reduce the impact and minimize the oxidative damage caused by surplus free radicals. Carotenoids are characterized by a large (35-40 carbon atoms) polyene chain, sometimes terminated by rings."

"text": "7 Foods that Contain Carotenoids By Sequoia 1 Nutrition Carotenoids are abundant in certain foods; there are many ways to include carotenoids in your diet and doing so is important. Carotenoids consist of dark colored pigments; beta-carotene is an example that most people are familiar with. Typically, the darker the pigment in the food, the more carotenoids they contain. Carotenoids are commonly found in orange-colored fruits and vegetables. Some carotenoids act as antioxidants, which help prevent damage to the cells in our bodies. Consuming adequate amounts of Vitamin A helps maintain healthy skin, teeth, skeletal tissue and mucous membranes, while vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, poor growth, increased infections and dry scaly skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids and some (such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene and beta- cryptoxanthin) can be converted into Vitamin A in our bodies. Recommended daily amounts of vitamin A for adults range from 700 – 900 micrograms per day (higher for breastfeeding women). While many animal food products contain or are fortified with vitamin A, carotenoids can help increase vitamin A in our bodies, typically without adding extra fat, calories or cholesterol. Below are some foods that contain significant amounts of carotenoids.1."

These unstable molecules are called oxidants or free radicals. What creates free radicals? Oxygen, the most crucial life sustaining nutrient, is paradoxically the main source of free radicals. Free radicals are considered to be the contributing cause of many chronic illnesses and the aging process. Free radicals are very reactive oxygen fragments which are created by normal metabolic processes in the cells and also are created by exposure to air pollution, cigarette smoke, certain chemicals, ultraviolet light, radiation and other substances. Stress and excessive and strenuous exercise can produce free radicals as well. Free radicals lack electrons and try to steal them from adjacent molecules to regain balance. This process often causes a chain reaction spreading throughout the body as stable molecules in turn become unstable and react further with other molecules causing yet more free radical damage which can result in chronic disease. Some of the damage caused by free radicals:free radicals attack DNA - our cells' genetic material - causing cells to die or mutate and possibly become cancerous;free radicals can release substances which are toxic to nerves."

They are available in minute quantities of natural foodstuffs and are usually obtained from a normal diet. Vitamins are essential to normal metabolism, maintaining life and promoting growth and good health. Vitamins are considered micronutrients because the body needs them in relatively small amounts, in comparison with other nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water. We have come to realize that vitamins not only sustain life, but also play an indispensable role in our daily well-being. Vitamins were given letters to go with their chemical names to simplify their descriptions. Isn't it much easier to refer to vitamin E, rather than \"\"d-alpha tocopheryl succinate?\"\" Vitamins are considered co-enzymes, because they work with enzymes (the essential chemicals that are the foundation of human bodily functions) to facilitate the body's activities to be carried out efficiently. Thousands of years ago, people understood that many ailments could be improved with certain herbs and foods."

"text": "11/27/2007Vitamins and minerals functioning as antioxidants with supplementation considerations Oxidative stress occurs when production of free radicals exceeds the capacity of the antioxidant system of body cells. Certain nutrients serve as antioxidants or are components of antioxidant enzymes. Antioxidant nutrients play important roles in animal health by inactivating harmful free radicals produced through normal cellular activity and from various stressors. A compromised immune system will result in reduced animal production efficiency through increased susceptibility to disease, thereby leading to increased animal morbidity and mortality. Under commercial ruminant production conditions, vitamin and mineral allowances higher than NRC requirements may be needed to allow optimum performance. Generally, the optimum vitamin and mineral supplementation level is the quantity that achieves the best growth rate, feed utilization, health (including immune competency), and provides adequate body reserves. Introduction Vitamin E, vitamin C, carotenoids, selenium (Se) and other trace minerals are important antioxidant components of animal diets which are indispensable in animal health and immune function. The focus of this paper is supplementation levels for these nutrients in relation to antioxidant and health considerations. Free radicals and antioxidants Free radicals are atoms or molecules containing one or more unpaired electrons, making them very “reactive” (Surai, 2003). Biologically relevant free radicals are activated atoms or groups of atoms (usually containing oxygen or nitrogen) with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons."

They are all organic nutrients that are necessary in small amounts for normal body functioning and good health. Your diet or any supplements you take provide most vitamins. The body can manufacture only three vitamins (D, K, and the B vitamin biotin) from nondietary sources. Unlike carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, vitamins are not sources of energy. Instead, vitamins are chemical partners for the enzymes involved in the body's metabolism, cell production, tissue repair, and other vital processes. Vitamins are either fat soluble or water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins, which include A, D, E, and K, are absorbed by the body using processes that closely parallel the absorption of fat. They are stored in the liver and used up by the body very slowly. The water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and the B complex vitamins."

These two forms aren't just chemically different - they also provide us with different types of health benefits. There are some specific immune, inflammatory, genetic, and reproductive-related benefits of vitamin A that can only be obtained from the retinoid forms of the vitamin.

Fogoros, MDUpdated October 03, 2017Share Pin Email Print Thomas Barwick/Taxi/Getty Images The foods you eat every day must provide the nutrients you need to thrive. Vitamin A is one of those essential nutritions. Vitamin A is needed for eye health and good vision, regular cell division and differentiation and it's an important part of normal reproduction. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and it's found in plenty of foods including plants and foods of animal origin. It's not too difficult to get enough vitamin A as long as you have a varied and balanced diet. There are some key differences between animal and plant sources of vitamin A. Retinol from Animal Foods The form of vitamin A found in foods of animal origin is called retinol, or pre-formed vitamin A. Retinol is the most active form of Vitamin A but if you need one of the other forms, called retinal or retinoic acid, your body can take retinol and convert it into one or the other. You'll find some vitamin A in most animal-sourced foods, but the best sources of retinol are dairy products, eggs, liver and fortified foods. Vitamin A from Plants The forms of vitamin A found in plants are called provitamin A carotenoids. The most well-known of the carotenoids are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin. Your body converts these carotenoids to retinol, but beta-carotene to vitamin A conversion is the most efficient."

Because this leafy vegetable is rich in water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and a wide variety of phytonutrients, there are many different ways to incorporate spinach into your meal plan and enjoy a variety of nutritional benefits. For example, we've seen a recent study in which the sautéing of spinach was best able to retain its total carotenoid content (in comparison with steaming or boiling or frying). Alternatively, we've seen an equally recent study showing far less loss of vitamin C from spinach when this vegetable was steamed for 5 minutes (instead of being microwaved or boiled for that same amount of time. Yet numerous studies also point to the nutrient benefits of raw spinach. For example, about 25% of the folate in spinach can be lost from cooking, and spinach can be thought of as a special nutritional contributor in terms of folate since it ranks as our Number 3 source of this nutrient at WHFoods. Therefore, as you can see, there are important nutritional benefits to be had from many different ways of incorporating spinach into your meal plan. In our World's Healthiest Foods Meal Plan, we incorporate spinach in its raw form in our Energizing Blueberry Smoothie, our Satisfying Strawberry Smoothie, and our Rousing Raspberry Smoothie. New research is underway involving the nitrate content of spinach. You've probably heard about nitrate (and nitrite) in the context of food additives since both of these nitrogen-containing substances have often been used as preservatives for bacon and deli meats."

Beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein are all different varieties of carotenoids. They all act as antioxidants with strong cancer-fighting properties. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals, substances that work to destroy cell membranes and DNA. Smokers tend to have higher concentrations of free radicals in the blood due to the chemicals they inhale. So, it's no surprise that studies have confirmed that antioxidants lower the risk of lung cancer for smokers. 1 (This is no reason to smoke, of course, as it is impossible to predict who will develop cancer in every instance.) Studies have also suggested that carotenoids may help prevent skin, breast, and prostate cancer. 2-4 Some carotenoids are also converted to vitamin A, which is necessary for healthy vision and cell growth.

Admired for their size, grace and beauty, it stands to reason that if we can improve an aspect of their image, our enjoyment will also be rewarded. Such is the case with colour. There are many factors that conspire against koi (and koi keepers) when endeavouring to enhance their colour. Rather than exploring the factors that can negate our colour enhancing activities, it is more productive to concentrate on the most significant factors that will control a koi's colour - and they are: a). The koi's genetic make up (which has coded for the koi's current (and future) skin, colour and pattern characteristics b). The colour enhancers that are stored and expressed in the skin. Genetics Let's just take the colour red as an example. Colour in koi is produced in a similar way to photographs in newspaper where from a distance, a photograph will look detailed, well defined, and clear.

Create a free account Maybe later Sort Fat Soluble Vitamins - require bile for their digestion and absorption - upon absorption, fat soluble vitamins travel through the lymphatic system within chylomicrons before entering the bloodstream, where many of them require protein carriers for transport - excesses stored in liver and adipose tissue - body maintains blood concentrations by retrieving these vitamins from storage as needed so people can eat less their their daily need for days, weeks, or even months or years without ill effects - risk of toxicity is greater than it is for water soluble vitamins (11.1) Vitamin A and Beta Carotene - Vitamin A was the first fat soluble vitamin to be recognized - beta carotene is its precursor - 3 different forms of vitamin a in body: retinol, retinal, retinoic acid (retonoids) - these compounds are found in foods from animals - food from plants provide carotenoids, some of which can be converted to vitamin A - most studied of carotenoids with vitamin a activity is beta carotene, which can be split to form retinol in intestine and liver - cells can convert retinol and retinal to other active forms of vitamin a - conversion of retinol to retinal is reversible but the further conversion of retinal to retinoic acid is irreversible - irreversibility is significant because each form of vitamin a performs a specific function that others can't - after absorption of vitamin a via the lympth system, vitamin a eventually arrives at the liver, where it's stored - there, a special transport protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP) picks up vitamin a from the liver and carries it in the blood ROLES IN BODY - major roles: promoting vision, participating in protein synthesis and cell differentiation, supporting reproduction and regulating growth - each form of vitamin a performs specific tasks Vitamin A in Vision - vitamin a has 2 role in eyes: helps maintain a crystal clear outer window, the cornea, and it participates in the conversion of light energy into nerve impulses at the retina - some of the photosensitive cells of the retina contain pigment molecules called rhodopsin - each rhodopsin molecule is composed of a protein called opsin bonded to a molecule of retina, which plays a central role in vision - when light passes through the cornea of the eye and strikes the retina, rhodopsin responds and as it does, opsin is released and retinal shifts from a cis to trans configuration - much of the retinal is then converted back to its active cis form and combined with the opsin protein to regenerate rhodopsin - some retinal, however, may be oxidized to retinoic acid, a biochemical dead end for the visual process, a biochemical dead end for the visual process - visual activity leads to repeated small losses of retinal, necessitating its constant replenishment either directly from foods or indirectly form retinol stores Vitamin A in Protein Synthesis and Cell Differentiation - only one-thousandth of the body's vitamin a is in the retina while much more is in the cells lining the body's surfaces - there the vitamin participates in protein synthesis and cell differentiation, a process by which each type of cell develops to perform a specific function - all body surfaces (inside and out) are covered by layers of cells called epithelial cells - epithelial tissue: on outside of body is skin and vitamin a and beta-carotene help to protect against skin damage from sunlight - epithelial tissues that line inside of body are mucous membranes: linings of mouth, stomach, intestines, lungs and passages leading to them, linings of urinary bladder and urethra, linings of uterus and vagina, and linings of eyelids and sinus passageways - vitamin a promotes differentiation of epithelial cells and goblet cells, one celled glands that synthesize and secrete mucus -- mucus coats and protects the epithelial cells from invasive microorganisms and other potentially damaging substances like gastric juices Vitamin A in Reproduction and Growth - vitamin a supports reproduction and regulates growth - in men, retinol participates in sperm development and in women, it supports normal fetal development during pregnancy - children lacking vitamin a fail to grow but if given supplements, they gain weight and grow taller - growth of bones illustrates that growth is a complex phenomenon of remodeling - vitamin a participates in dismantling Beta-Carotene as Precursor and Antioxidant - beta carotene's 2 roles in body: serves as vitamin a precursor and acts as an antioxidant capable of protecting body against disease VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY - 90% of vitamin a stores are in liver - also depends on person's protein status bc retinol binding protein serves as the vitamin's transport carrier inside the body - symptoms won't appear until stores are depleted (1 or 2 years for healthy adult) - is a major problem in developing countries, responsible for a million or more unnecessary deaths and cases of blindness each year Infectious Diseases - vitamin a supports immune function and inhibits replication of measles virus - measles is problematic in developing countries, killing 430 children a day - pneumonia and severe diarrhea - WHO and UNICEF made it a goal to improve child health and survival by controlling vitamin a deficiency- recommends 2 doses of vitamin a supplements, given 24 hours apart for all children with measles - supplements also protect against blindness and complications of other life-threatening infections like malaria, lung diseases, and HIVNight Blindness - one of first detectable signs of vitamin a deficiency and permits early diagnosis - person loses ability to recover promptly from temp blinding that follows a flash of bright light at night or to see after dark- happens to people after sun goes down Blindness (Xerophthalmia) - total blindness - night blindness caused by lack of vitamin a in back of eye (Retina) while total blindness caused by lack of vitamin a in front of eye (cornea) - blindness due to vitamin a deficiency is known as xerophthalmia, develops in stages - xerosis than keratomalacia Keratinization - deficiency causes body's outer surface, the epithelial cells to change shape and begin to secrete keratin (hard , inflexible protein of hair and nails) - skin becomes dry, rough, and scaly as lumps of keratin accumulate (keratinization)VITAMIN A TOXICITY - symptoms of toxicity begin to develop when all the binding proteins are loaded and vitamin a is free to damage cells - toxicity is a real possibility when concentrated amounts of preformed vitamin a in foods derived from animals, fortified foods, or supplements are consumed - children most vulnerable to toxicity bc they need less vitamin a and are sensitive to overdoses - RDA is 700 micrograms for women and 900 for men - beta-carotene is not converted efficiently enough in body to cause vitamin a toxicity; instead, it's stored in the fat just under the skin - overconsumption may turn skin yellow but it's not harmful - adverse effects of betacarotene supplements most evident in people who drink alcohol and smoke Bone Defects - excessive intakes over years may weaken bones and contribute to fractures and osteoporosis - suppresses bone building activity, stimulates bone dismantling activity, and interferes with vitamin d's ability to maintain normal blood calcium Birth Defects - excessive vitamin a during pregnancy leads to abnormal cell death in spinal cord, which increases the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida and cleft palate - in those cases, vitamin a is considered a teratogen - high intakes (4x RDA of woman) before 7th week of pregnancy appear to be most damaging Not for Acne - large doses have no beneficial effect on acne - accutane - Retin-AVITAMIN A RECOMMENDATIONS - bc body can derive vitamin a from both retinoids and carotenoids, its content in foods and its recommendations are expressed as retinol activity equivalents (RAE) - one microgram = 1 RAE as does 12 micrograms of beta carotene - beta-carotene's absorption and conversion are significantly less efficient than those of the retinoids VITAMIN A IN FOODS - richest sources from animals - bc it is fat soluble, it is lost when milk is skimmed - dairy products usually fortified - plants contain no retinoids but many veggies and fruits contain vitamin a precursors - carotenoids - beta-carotene in dark green, leafy veggies is abundant but masked by large amounts of chlorophyll The Colors of Vitamin A Foods - dark leafy greens and rich yellow or deep orange veggies and fruits - bright color not always a sign of vitamin a activity - beets and corn get their colors form red and yellow xanthophylls, which have no vitamin a activity - white plant foods and fast food have no vitamin a Vitamin A - Rich Liver - liver is a rich source bc vitamin a is stored in the livers of animals - don't eat to much of it bc it can cause toxicity Golden RIce - in developing countries, they barely have fruits and veggies so they mainly eat rice which has no beta carotene or vitamin a but scientists have genetically modified rice to be a significant source of beta-carotene - golden rice - solution to world's malnutrition (11.2) Vitamin D - body can synthesize it with the help of sunlight, from a precursor that the body makes from cholesterol so vitamin D is not an essential nutrient (don't need from food) - also known as calciferol, it comes in 2 forms - vitamin D2 (from plant foods in diet), Vitamin D3 (from animal foods in diet and from synthesis in skin) - both must be activated before they can fully function - figure 11-8 (p.352) - to activate vitamin d, 2 hydroxylation reactions must occur - liver adds OH group then kidneys add another OH group to produce active vitamin - diseases affecting liver or kidney can interfere with activatio"

Vitamin A from plant sources is a carotenoid that your body can transform into a retinol, while vitamin A from animal sources is already in a form of retinol that's easily absorbed by your body. Vitamin A palmitate is the form of vitamin A found naturally in animal sources and also produced synthetically. Sources Vitamin A palmitate, also called retinyl palmitate or retinol palmitate, is found in animal sources. Daily dietary sources of vitamin A palmitate are found in liver, fish, whole milk, eggs, cheese and butter. Vitamin A palmitate is lost when the fat is removed from these sources, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Plant sources of vitamin A are carotenoids, found in alpha- and beta-carotene-rich fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are good sources of vitamin A but not of vitamin A palmitate. Supplements Vitamin A palmitate is also synthetically produced and used to fortify foods such as dairy products that have lost vitamin A palmitate in processing and breakfast cereals. Vitamin A palmitate supplements in liquid, powder and pill form are used to treat vitamin A deficiency."

Watermelon’s wild ancestor was actually a bitter fruit with hard, green flesh and circular shaped. Much of the history of watermelon is debated because of a lack of accurate information, but many historians agree that watermelon was initially cultivated in Africa before spreading north into the Mediterranean area and Europe ( 1 ). Would you like to learn how I lost 30 pounds in two months? Read my Nutrisystem review here!Where it originated in Africa, however, remains a mystery. Some theories claim that watermelon’s ancestor began in southern Africa, but evidence has suggested that Egyptians began growing watermelon 4,000 years ago, which predates farming in southern Africa. The most likely candidate for the ancestral watermelon and the beginning of this popular fruit is the indigenous northeastern African watermelon because it was a convenient and easy food staple at the time ( 1 ). The question that has truly puzzled historians, though, is why would the Egyptians continue cultivating watermelons in the first place since watermelons were hard and either bitter or bland. The answer likely lies in the fruit’s name – water. They contain a lot of water and could remain edible for weeks and even months as long as they were kept in cool, shady areas."

Most nutrition books and internet sources list the following as excellent sources of vitamin A: Carrots Sweet potatoes Dark leafy greens Cantaloupe Bell peppers Although taken for granted as ideal vitamin A foods, these plants provide only the precursor to vitamin A, carotenoids. Interestingly, we need to be consuming true vitamin A foods, foods containing retinol, to meet our vitamin A requirements. Retinoids vs. Carotenoids The most important fact about vitamin A is the difference between retinoids and cartenoids. The vitamin A from animal sources is retinoids, also called retinol, while plant source vitamin A is carotenoids, such as beta carotene. Animal sources of retinol is bio-available, which means the body can utilize it. The vitamin A from plant sources, in contrast, must first be converted to retinol to be useful in the body. This poses two big problems. First, when we are in pristine health, it requires at least six units of carotenes to convert into 1 unit of retinol ( source ). To put this in perspective, that means one must eat 4 1/2 pounds of carrots to potentially get the amount of useable A as in 3 oz."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and many other body components. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much stiffer and much less flexible than muscle. Because of its rigidity, cartilage often serves the purpose of holding tubes open in the body. Examples include the rings of the trachea, such as the cricoid cartilage and carina. Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes that produce a large amount of collagenous extracellular matrix, abundant ground substance that is rich in proteoglycan and elastin fibers. Cartilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, which differ in relative amounts of collagen and proteoglycan. Cartilage does not contain blood vessels (it is avascular) or nerves (it is aneural). Nutrition is supplied to the chondrocytes by diffusion. The compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage generates fluid flow, which assists diffusion of nutrients to the chondrocytes. Compared to other connective tissues, cartilage has a very slow turnover of its extracellular matrix and does not repair."

Cartilage Cartilage is a semirigid connective tissue that is weaker than bone, but more flexible and resilient. As with all connec- tive tissue types, cartilage contains a population of cells scattered throughout a matrix of protein fibers embedded within a gel-like ground substance. Chondroblasts (kon ́dr̄-blast; chondros = grit or gristle, blastos = germ) are the cells that produce the matrix of cartilage.chondrocytes chrondroblasts become encased within the matrix they have produced and secreted,lacunae chondrocytes occupy small spaces These mature cartilage cells maintain the matrix and ensure that it remains healthy and viable. Mature cartilage is avascular (not penetrated by blood vessels) so nutrients must diffuse through the matrix. The three different types of cartilage—hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage—Functions of Cartilage ■ Supporting soft tissues. For example, C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings in the trachea support the connective tissue and musculature of the tracheal wall, fibrocartilage provides both toughness and flexibility to the pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs, and flexible elastic cartilage supports the fleshy, external part of the ear called the auricle (aw ŕ i-kl; auris = ear)."

The anulus fibrosus consists of several layers (laminae) of fibrocartilage made up of both type I and type II collagen. Type I is concentrated toward the edge of the ring, where it provides greater strength. The stiff laminae can withstand compressive forces. The fibrous intervertebral disc contains the nucleus pulposus and this helps to distribute pressure evenly across the disc. This prevents the development of stress concentrations which could cause damage to the underlying vertebrae or to their endplates. The nucleus pulposus contains loose fibers suspended in a mucoprotein gel. The nucleus of the disc acts as a shock absorber, absorbing the impact of the body's activities and keeping the two vertebrae separated."

They form a fibrocartilaginous joint between the vertebral bodies, linking them together. The disc makes up one third to one fourth of the spinal column’s length, forming an interpose between every two vertebrae except between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) and coccyx. Intervertebral disc - lateral-left view There are about 23 discs in the spine; 6 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 in the lumbar region. The intervertebral discs are approximately 7-10 mm thick and 4 cm in diameter (anterior – posterior plane) in the lumbar region of the spine. It consists of a thick outer ring of fibrous cartilage called the anulus (derived from the Latin word “anus” meaning ring) or annulus (anulus fibrosus disci intervertebralis), which surrounds an inner gel-like centre or more gelatinous core known as the nucleus pulposus (meaning “pulpy interior”). The nucleus pulposus is sandwiched inferiorly and superiorly by cartilage endplates. Recommended video: Thoracic and Lumbar spines Bones, ligaments and joints of the thoracic and lumbar spines. Embryology Development of the intervertebral disc begins in the 5th week.

Spinal disc herniation Synonyms Slipped disc, herniated nucleus pulposus A spinal disc herniation demonstrated via MRI. Specialty Orthopedics, neurosurgery Spinal disc herniation, also known as a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings. Disc herniation is usually due to age-related degeneration of the outer ring, known as the anulus fibrosus, although trauma, lifting injuries, or straining have been implicated as well. Tears are almost always postero-lateral (on the back of the sides) owing to the presence of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the spinal canal. [ 1] This tear in the disc ring may result in the release of chemicals causing inflammation, which may directly cause severe pain even in the absence of nerve root compression. Disc herniations are normally a further development of a previously existing disc protrusion, a condition in which the outermost layers of the anulus fibrosus are still intact, but can bulge when the disc is under pressure. In contrast to a herniation, none of the central portion escapes beyond the outer layers. Most minor herniations heal within several weeks."

Several of these sites are of particular interest to those in the emerging field of tissue engineering. Fibrocartilage cells frequently resemble chondrocytes in having prominent rough endoplasmic reticulum, many glycogen granules, and lipid droplets, and intermediate filaments together with and actin stress fibers that help to determine cell organization in the intervertebral disc. Fibrocartilage cells can synthesize a variety of matrix molecules including collagens, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins. All the fibrillar collagens (types I, II, III, V, and XI) have been reported, together with FACIT (types IX and XII) and network-forming collagens (types VI and X). The proteoglycans include large, aggregating types (aggrecan and versican) and small, leucine-rich types (decorin, biglycan, lumican, and fibromodulin). Less attention has been paid to noncollagenous proteins, although tenascin-C expression may be modulated by mechanical strain. As in hyaline cartilage, matrix metalloproteinases are important in matrix turnover and fibrocartilage cells are capable of apoptosis.

"text": "\"FROM: Chiro Res J 1988; 1 (1) Spring: 21–46 ~ FULL TEXTCharles A. Lantz, Ph. D., D. C. Sid E. Williams Research Center Life Chiropractic College Marietta, Georgia ABSTRACT: T he literature was reviewed concerning the effects of joint immobilization on the degeneration of articular and periarticular connective tissue. Every connective tissue component of an articulation is affected by immobilization, and each major component is discussed individually; these include the articular cartilage, synovium, articular capsule, periarticular ligaments, subchondral bone, the intervertebral disc and the meninges. Particular emphasis was placed on changes in the biochemical constituents of connective tissue, collagen, proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid, and the relation of these changes to alterations in the functional and biomechanical properties of the tissues. Thus an attempt is made here to establish a molecular basis for the theory and practice of chiropractic. Each connective tissue component has its own pattern of degeneration and each contributes in its own unique way to joint stiffness following immobilization. Of particular significance to chiropractic is the observation that many of the changes observed following immobilization are reversible upon remobilization of the joint within a reasonable period of time. The time course of events in the degenerative process is significant in this regard and is discussed in detail. The reported changes are evaluated in light of the five components of the vertebral subluxation complex: kinesiopathology, neuropathology, myopathology, histopathology and biochemical abnormalities. In particular, the relation between the degenerative process and neurological elements associated with the spinal joints is discussed."

"text": "Form and function of intervertebral disc Article Metrics Related Content Cite this page No Comments Introduction The human intervertebral disc is an amazing structure that while at first appearance seems simple and static is actually quite the opposite. Each disc articulates with a vertebral body above and below it and provides three crucial services to the spinal column: 1) To support the axial load on the column as it is delivered by body mass and gravity 2) to assist in range of motion at the spine and 3) to serve ligamental functions between vertebral bodies. Anatomy and Physiology The intervertebral disc is the largest avascular structure in the body. Performing its services as a lively, dynamic structure without a dedicated blood supply requires an efficient combination of form and function. It consists of three entities: the annulus pulposus (AP), nucleus pulposus (NP) and the vertebral end-plate (VEP). The AP surrounds the NP and forms the majority of the disc. These two parts are different in composition. The AP is a fibrous structure composed of mostly collagen. It also contains some proteoglycan and elastins (most of which reside near the VEP). This collagen is arranged very specifically into approximately 20 concentric bands called lamellae."

Answer by Dan Galilee Confidence votes 31.7KA Jewish-American Rabbi living in Israel, studying, teaching and writing on Judaism.1) It produces psychoactive effects that cause it to have potential for recreational use. Even in low doses, gabapentin causes sensations of reduced acute pain and reduced anxiety. Larger doses can cause the user to become numb and even fully insensate. Tolerance to gabapentin occurs extremely rapidly with recreational use, with the user often needing to double the dosage within a day or two of misuse. 2) Gabapentin has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal acts or violent deaths. 3) Abrupt withdrawal will cause suffering. 4) Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, drowsiness, and edema. 5) In certain cases, susceptibility to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, liver damage and hyperactivity have been observed.8 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "FAQ: Gabapentin for Depression, Mania and Anxiety. NOTE: Gabapentin is only approved in the USA for the treatment of people with seizures.  There are few systematic studies that establishthe safety or efficacy of gabapentin as a treat-ment for people with mood disorders, anxiety or tardive dyskinesia. While such studies are in the progress, what is currently known about the use of gabapentin for the control of mood and anxiety disorders and tardive dyskinesia comes mostly from uncontrolled case reports. The few double-blind placebo-controlled studies that have been done to date have not demonstrated that  aba-pentin is an effective mood stbailizer.1. What is gabapentin (Neurontin)? Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is chemically unrelated to any other anticonvulsant or mood regulating medication.2. When was gabapentin approved for marketing in the USA and for what indications may it be promoted? Gabapentin received final approval for marketing in the USA on 30 December 1993 and is labeled only for use as an anticonvulsant. It is also used to treat individuals suffering from many kinds of pain problems, tremors, restless legs syndrome, hot flashes associated with menopause, and various psychiatric disorders.3."

"text": "Backdoor Pharmacist Gets Caressed by Gabapentin By Backdoor Pharmacist | May 13, 2014 - 12:30PMGabapentin (Neurontin) is a derivative of the neurotransmitter GABA. They’re used as anticonvulsants and as a painkiller specifically for neuropathic pain. Gabapentin’s effects are so similar to others, but have no direct comparison. It has its own unique magic. It’s a strange hybrid, and the closest is its stronger brother pregabalin (Lyrica). While gabapentin is not believed to be habit forming, it is a drug that makes you feel good. It won’t lead to physiological dependence, but it will sure as hell lead to psychological dependence. Gabapentin is prescription only but not scheduled, while pregabalin is Schedule V. There has been no established lethal dose for gabapentin, but don’t chug it — it’ll be an ambulance ride. Don’t think you can judge a substance from how its dad behaved. Gabapentin, despite synthesized from GABA, actually does not bond with or directly increase the efficiency of GABA in the brain."

"text": "\"What Is Gabapentin (Neurontin)?128 Reviews | Get Coupons Gabapentin is a prescription drug, marketed as Neurontin and Horizant, that's used to treat epilepsy. Doctors can prescribe gabapentin to treat epilepsy in people older than 12, and partial seizures in children ages 3 to 12. Gabapentin may also be prescribed to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS), to relieve numbness and tingling related to diabetes, to prevent hot flashes, and to relieve pain that can accompany shingles (known as postherpetic neuralgia ). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved gabapentin in 1993 under the brand name Neurontin for the drug manufacturer Pfizer. In 2003, the FDA approved generic gabapentin, and it's now made by several drug companies. An extended-release form of gabapentin is available under the brand name Horizant. In 2004, the drug maker Pfizer settled charges for marketing Neurontin for unapproved uses, and agreed to pay $430 million. While it's legal for a doctor to prescribe drugs for off-label purposes, it's illegal for a drug manufacturer to actively promote off-label uses. A study in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia in 2013 revealed that gabapentin may help ease moderate to high levels of anxiety among people about to have surgery. The researchers noted that doctors are increasingly using the drug to treat pain after surgery as well as a variety of psychiatric diseases, such as chronic anxiety disorders."

The consensus amongst the people that reported trying is that it hurts. Personally, I wouldn't fuck with snorting a pill that isn't very recreational to begin with. Too many doses 04-05-2009, 18:12...why snort a pill that won't get you blasted?ashla 04-05-2009, 18:31this is something i kept wondering about myself till i ended up doing it, i know some dont like neurontin as recreational but i did, anyway i did snort one time it was horrible the drip was nasty and my eyes burned, i felt really hyper and good though but i honestly think it was cuz i ate so many before them, i dont recommend it personally but i did it , but unfortunately i am one of those addicts who has to try no matter how much i read on it , am told its bad etc etc, i have snorted and plugged and shot many drugs that i am now ashamed to admit to lol but oh well, the best way i know for me to take neurontin is on full stomache (some reason this raises bioavailability) and take two aleves before naprosyn also supposedly raises bio, i also take the powder out of the pills and put it in small glass with something warm like coffee and chug it down (i dont know if that helps) i do know though after a while no matter how many gabapentin i took it didnt work like first time just my two cents ashlathe unknown 04-05-2009, 18:58First of all this is a pill that wont get you high at all. Ive heard people getting a sligh buzz from like 6000mg but i WOULD NOT ADVICE THAT AT ALL. Second the pills are HUGE and to take even one and crush it up would take forever to snort. Im talking about the 600mg pills then you have to times that by like 8 or 10 so your crushing up huge pills in the range of about 8 to 10 completely crazy. Even if they were the caplets its still tons of powder. I have gabapentin."

"text": "Home Info Center General Side effects of Gabapentin 300mg6Commentsover a year ago Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an antiepileptic drug, used to treat seizures in adults and children over 12 years. Partial seizures in children (3 to 12 years) are treated with gabapentin and some other medications, and gabapentin alone is used in nerve pain therapy when the pain is caused by herpes virus or herpes zoster (shingles). The most common side effects are: sleepiness, dizziness, headache, tiredness and ataxia. General side effects frequently includes asthenia, malaise and facial edema, and cases of generalized edema, weight loss and chill. Sometimes, gabapentin causes vertigo, reflex problems, anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia, euphoria or psychosis, and provoke suicide attempts. It could affect your libido, increasing or decreasing it, and be the reason of brain tumors, cerebellar (part of the brain) disfunction, nystagmus, depression or even status epilepticus. Psychiatric problems are rare, there were some isolated cases of aggressive behavior and hypomania. Gabapentin is often reported to cause anorexia, gingivitis and flatulence, and in some cases gum bleeding, gastroenteritis, hemorrhoids or blood in the stool. When using gabapentin, patients experienced hear loss, ear infection, earache, increased sensitivity to noise, some of them had perforated ear drum and others reported labyrinthitis and odd smell. Gabapentin may affect your eyes, causing vision problems, cataract, conjunctivitis, photophobia, eye bleeding or twitching, dry eyes or ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid)."

Enchanted books can be acquired via trading, fishing or by placing a Book in an Enchantment Table. Contents [ show]Overview When a piece of Armor or a Tool is enchanted, it will glow (much like a potion), allowing the holder and any nearby players to see that the item is enchanted. An enchanted item will display any current enchantments and their level of strength on the item (unless the enchantment is limit to level 1) if examined in the Inventory menu. Using the Enchantment Table method allows the player to enchant Armor, Shovels, Pickaxes, Axes, Swords and Bows . Many more items can be enchanted. However, this can only be done with an Anvil and/or an Enchanted Book. This process is very useful, especially for enchanting other items with Durability or items that would not normally get a certain enchantment. Some objects that can only be enchanted in this way are Flint and Steel, a Fishing Rod, or a Hoe . Enchanting procedure In order to enchant, a player needs an Enchantment Table, several Experience Points and the item they wish to enchant."

"text": "\"Bow Type Weapon Uses Combat Stackable Renewable Dropped by Skeletons First Appearance Classic 0.24_SURVIVAL_TESTData Values Hex: 105 Dec: 261Technical Nameminecraft:bow [view] •A Bow is one of two weapons (the other being the sword) that can be crafted in Minecraft. It functions as the primary ranged weapon for the Player (and the only one, aside from TNT cannons, that damages entities, not counting Blazes and the Ender Dragon ), giving them an alternative method of attack than the sword. Contents [ show]Overview A bow is an item that can be used to attack mobs, assuming a player has arrows in their inventory. To fire the bow, hold down right-click to charge the shot, then release to fire. A bow can be used 385 times before it breaks. The damage and range depend on how far back the arrow was drawn. For best results, shoot at maximum charge. A fully charged bow will be known by two ways. First, the bow is fully charged when it stops the drawing animation and begins shaking, or the bow's arrow, when shot, will leave a particle trail, much like that of a critical hit when jumping and attacking with a sword. The bow is best used to take on mobs at a distance, or where sword attacks could endanger a player (such as engaging Creepers or skeletons)."

But at the bottom of the enchantment there is a note that says: Notably, the slowness effect applies not only to kills with the sword, but to any \"\"arthropod\"\" kills while holding the sword. So what does that mean? Does it mean as long as a sword with that enchantment is in my inventory and/or my hotbar it applies the effect to Arthropods, or am I misunderstanding this?minecraftshare improve this questionedited Sep 24 '14 at 16:27Unionhawk22k 18 97 162asked Sep 24 '14 at 16:19user71416133 1 2 91I think it's kind of like the looting thing; as long as the sword is in your hand when they're hit, it applies the effect. Practically speaking, this means you have to hit them with the sword. But if you shoot an arrow at a spider, then quickly switch to the sword, it might apply the effect. Not certain about that though. – Unionhawk Sep 24 '14 at 16:32I agree with Unionhawk, it's more of an implementation detail. Rather than the game saying \"\"player hit spider -> was spider killed by sword? -"

Open the Enchantment Table Before you begin, make sure you have an item in your hotbar that you want to enchant. You will also need an enchantment table.

To enchant an item you need to get Experience Levels from doing all sorts of things such as trading, fighting monsters, farming, mining and smelting ore. When you want to enchant your item, you will need to build an Enchantment Table. Each enchantment will cost 1, 2 or 3 Experience Levels, and you will also need to supply 1, 2 or 3 pieces of Lapis Lazuli as well. For higher level enchantments you will need to have more experience levels, (although only 3 will be spent) and you will need to surrond your Enchantment Table it Bookshelves How-to guide Check out the full step-by-step guide if this all seems complicated. Earning Experience Levels The game provides several ways to earn experience levels to spend on enchantments. At first you will get plenty of experience from all the things you do in the game: mining, farming, fighting mobs and tading with villagers. If you want to do serious amounts of enchanting, you might want to construct a large chicken farm or mob grinder to collect huge quantities of experience. Look at the tutorials section for ideas.

A creeper can easily be recognized by its tall vertical structure (roughly the size of a player), green, pixelated skin, and four legs. It is possibly the most dangerous enemy in the game, as it is not affected by sunlight (but it can despawn after a while), which makes it a constant threat as it silently roams the map, searching for a player to explode upon. It should be noted, however, that most creepers do Despawn during the day, along with Spiders. It is often used as the game's mascot by Mojang, since creepers are not \"\"monsters\"\" in real life. Contents [ show]Origin The creeper was created by accident by Notch, the creator of Minecraft. While Notch was trying to create the first ever passive mob, the pig, the code went wrong, and he accidentally swapped the height and length. As a result, he got a tall, slim being with the face and torso in the shape of a player instead of a pig. With no arms and 4 stubby legs, this creature became known as the creeper, a mob that when provoked or within distance of player blows up. It has earned Minecraft billions in marketing, and it is one of the most recognizable Minecraft mob and character, another example being Steve ."

Caverns contain occasional Underground Cabins where valuables can be found, as well as Mushroom Biomes, dangerous traps, rare and dangerous Spider Nest mini-biomes, and much more.

They drop 0-1 pieces of rotten flesh upon death as well as 0-1 gold nuggets. They occasionally drop a gold sword or gold helmet if defeated. Zombie pigmen can also drop gold ingots, or a gold sword. However, this is very rare. They travel in groups of up to 20, and do not attack a player unless a player attacks them first. Zombie pigmen are able to drown, but cannot be killed by lava, other then drowning in it. Because they are well-armed, zombie pigmen are highly dangerous to an unsuspecting player, also considering the Ghasts and horrible terrain of the Nether. Contents [ show]Behavior Attacking one zombie pigman causes any nearby zombie pigmen to become hostile, like wolves, and attack the player or all of the players if one is in multiplayer mode. Zombie pigmen won't become neutral again unless they're killed."

The elements found in living things include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. When two or more elements combine chemically, they form a compound. The smallest unit of many compounds is called a molecule. Water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Most chemical reactions within cells could not take place without water. Water also helps cells keep their size and shape and keeps the temperature of cells from changing rapidly. Many of the compounds found in living things contain the element carbon. Most compounds that contain carbon are called organic compounds."

"text": "Science Biology Botany Q: What Are the Two Stages of Photosynthesis Called? A: Quick Answer Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take their name because they require the presence of direct light, while the dark reactions do not have the same proviso. Light reactions occur in the thylakoid stacks in the grana for the most part, while dark reactions do not, although they also most frequently happen during the daytime. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Stages of Photosynthesis? What Are the Three Stages of Photosynthesis? What Happens in the Light Independent Reactions of Photosynthesis? Credit: Takashi Hososhima CC-BY-SA 2.0Full Answer Light reactions involve the conversion of sunlight to chemical energy taking on the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The chlorophyll in the plant absorbs the energy from the light, beginning a sequence of events that leads to the production of ATP, NADPH and oxygen, with the splitting of H2O molecules. The stomata release oxygen, and the other two by-products produce sugar as a part of the dark reactions."

Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane absorb light energy. These molecules are the most important pigments for absorbing the light energy used in photosynthesis. A chlorophyll molecule has a hydrophobic \"\"tail\"\" that embeds the molecule into the thylakoid membrane. The \"\"head\"\" of a chlorophyll molecule is a ring called a porphyrin. The porphyrin ring of chlorophyll, which has a magnesium atom at its center, is the part of a chlorophyll molecule that absorbs light energy. Examine the illustration to view the chlorophyll molecule and to learn which wavelengths of light are absorbed by this pigment. Compare the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll with the action spectrum of photosynthesis that Engelmann found."

I'm here to talk about how to strengthen the extrinsic muscles of the foot. The foot and ankle support the entire leg and strengthening them will help build your solid base so that you can perform all your activities and sports without risk of injury. Many times after an injury, specifically a sprained ankle, the extrinsic muscles of the foot become very weak very fast. So, it's important to help get that muscles around the ankle strengthened to prevent that ankle from becoming weak and the foot from becoming weak, and getting yourself re-injured. A simple but important piece of exercise equipment you can use to help strengthen the foot and ankle is an exercise band. So, this way we're going to show this ankle inversion. So, you're going to tie the band around an immovable object, like a leg of a chair or a table."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 7:11Transcription Okay so this is a tutorial on the extrinsic muscles of the back. The extrinsic muscles of the back are those muscles which are superficial and are responsible for movements at the shoulder and upper limb. Read more These are different to the intrinsic muscles of the back which are deep, and which are responsible for controlling posture and movement of the spine and head. The extrinsic muscles of the back are the trapezius, the latissimus dorsi, the rhomboid major and minor, and the levator scapulae. Just working superficially to deep I'll just show you these muscles. I'll start with the trapezius, which is this muscle here which you probably all know - big trapezium shaped muscle, which is why it's called the trapezius. And it basically extends from the external occipital protuberance here, all the way down to the lowest thoracic vertebra T12 - the spine of T12. And laterally it inserts along the spine of the scapula and posteriorly on the distal end of the clavicle, which you can't quite see, but it inserts just at the back of the clavicle here, and also on the acromion of the scapula. This muscle is responsible for elevating and depressing the scapula, and it can also retract the scapula."

It is of importance in the digestive system and is the primary organ of taste in the gustatory system. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva, and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. [ 2] A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus on the tongue's surface."

"text": "The distal interphalangeal joint is one of two joints within the four fingers and four lesser toes. Found between the second and third phalanges — the phalanges being the three bones in each finger and toe — it is the first joint in from the tips of the fingers and toes. Compared to the proximal interphalangeal joint, the second joint in from the tips of the fingers and toes, the distal joint is slightly smaller and exhibits a narrower range of motion. In the hand, the distal interphalangeal joint is found roughly an inch below the fingertip, just beyond the fingernail. In anatomy, distal is a term of relative location, referring to a structure that is farthest from the trunk of the body versus one that is nearest the body, or proximal. As the thumb has only two phalanges rather than three, there is no distinction between a proximal and distal interphalangeal joint in this digit. At this articulation, a synovial hinge joint, possible movements are a small degree of flexion and extension, or the bending and straightening of the fingers. The flexor digitorum profundus is the muscle responsible for flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. Found deep in the palm side of the forearm, it is located on the pinky side of the arm above the ulna bone. It is considered an extrinsic flexor of the hand, meaning that the body of the muscle is situated in the forearm, with only its tendon penetrating the hand."

"text": "NORMAL SWALLOWING PHYSIOLOGYBy Dr. Jonathan Aviv The purpose of swallowing is to safely transport food from the mouth to the stomach. A myriad of diseases and conditions affect this basic purpose. Therefore, understanding the normal swallow is one of the keys to beginning to develop a therapeutic plan for the patient with impaired deglutition. One would not spend effort attempting to change something about a swallow that may well be within the normal range of deglutition. The purpose of this chapter is to detail the normal swallow from a clinical point of view. Emphasis will be placed on correlating the normal physiology of swallowing with the relevant anatomy of the head and neck. The stages of swallowing can be divided into three phases, oral, pharyngeal and esophageal, with the oral phase under voluntary neuromuscular control and the latter two phases under involuntary neuromuscular control. ORAL PHASE The oral phase of swallowing can be further subdivided into the oral preparatory and the oral transport phase. In the oral preparatory phase the lips, tongue, mandible, palate and cheeks act in concert with salivary flow to grind and manipulate the presented food into a consistency and position so that the subsequent phases of swallowing can take place safely and appropriately. The afferent and efferent contributions of the cranial nerves essential for carrying out the oral phase are listed in Table I. Once the food bolus is prepared, the oral transport phase occurs as the musculature of the lips and cheeks contract followed by tongue contraction against the hard palate (1)."

The opposite of superficial is deep. For example, the spine is deep in the body, while the skin is superficial. The term superficial is a relative one. This means it is not limited to structures on the very outside of the body, such as the skin or eyes. Instead, it's all about what is located where relative to other structures. And the use of this term is not limited to one type of body structure, either. It can equally refer to muscles, bones, organs, and more. Let's go through a few examples of how this term is used when it comes to back pain. Superficial Back Muscles Anatomy geeks describe and understand back muscles in layers."

So you have some longer muscles that run from the forearm (the extrinsic muscles) and lots of little hand and finger muscles (the intrinsic muscles). To use your hands and fingers, you have to be able to bend your wrist. This movement is accomplished by two groups of muscles called the flexors and the extensors. The flexors are long muscles that run on the anterior part of the forearm from the elbow down to the hand. The tendons are held in place at the wrist by the palmar carpal ligament and the flexor retinaculum. The bellies of the muscles are located closer to the elbow, with the tendons running past the wrist. They help give the forearm its shape. Flexor carpi radialis: This wrist muscle originates on the medial epicondyle of the humerus and inserts on the base of the second and third metacarpals. It’s innervated by the median nerve and flexes and abducts the hand at the wrist."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology What does constriction of smooth muscle in the bronchioles do? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Constriction of smooth muscles in the bronchioles is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system. Antigens, asthma, and inflammatory responses will cause the smooth muscles to contract, narrowing the bronchioles, and reducing air flow, thus reducing oxygen exchange. Such constriction is a protective mechanism for the respiratory system. When exercising, the sympathetic nervous system predominates, causing relaxation of bronchiolar smooth muscle, which expands the diameter of bronchioles, increasing the amount of air that can enter the bronchioles, increasingly alveolar gas exchange.

"text": "\"Articulation: Tongue The tongue is the most important articulator of speech. This muscle is extremely strong, as it must move food around in our mouths as we chew. Its other biological function is to push the food into a bolus (I prefer the less scientific term \"\"glob\"\"), and then push it down the oesophagus to our stomach. Try swallowing to feel the strength of your tongue pushing down and back. Speech, on the other hand, requires a very different approach. For the sound to resonate effectively, the less tongue root tension (i.e. tension in the extrinsic muscles of the tongue), the better. For speech you want to relax the tongue up and forward, the opposite of swallowing. The quick movements of the tongue, necessary for rapid delivery of tongue twisters for example, require very delicate control of the action of the tongue. This control is often best regulated in concert with the ear, listening to the sounds created by the voice when the tongue is in one position over another. Sensitivity is the key to learning to appreciate the range of capabilities the tongue possesses."

The NHL lockout officially ended over the weekend, and the league will switch to a fixed pension plan for retired players at a time when most industries are moving away from them. But pensions are still common in professional sports, where careers, and earnings windows, are relatively short. By Schuyler Velasco, Staff writer January 14, 2013Jason Franson/The Canadian Press/AP/File View Caption About video ads View Caption The 2013 NHL season looked doomed, but hockey is back. The NHL Players’ Association and league owners finally reached an agreement to end the league lockout and save their season. Training camps opened over the weekend, and the shortened regular season begins next Saturday. Among the more hotly debated issues, like player market share and contract term limits, the league’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement included a smaller, curious provision: a pension plan for retired players. The new CBA, which runs for ten seasons with an opt-out clause after eight, has a provision that gives eligible retired NHL players a defined benefit pension plan. That means they will receive a set monthly amount of money in their retirement years."

But those are the ones that most fans know. Today, let’s dig a little deeper to find five obscure records that are virtually unbreakable, at least anytime soon. You may not have heard of at least a few, but that’s OK. Read on, and they might even win you a few bar bets. 11."

The top scorer in the NHL every season between 1981 and 1987, Gretzky also won top scoring honors three more times between 1990 and 1994. From 1984 to 1988 the Oilers dominated the NHL, winning four Stanley Cup championships; on the way to two of those victories, Gretzky picked up the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs' Most Valuable Player. In addition to these achievements, Gretzky also helped to expand the popularity of hockey into America's growing Sunbelt cities after he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988. Although the Kings never reached the heights that the Oilers had attained, Gretzky remained, by consensus opinion, the top player in the NHL as well as one of its most popular personalities in the 1990s. In his retirement as a professional athlete, Gretzky has retained the respectof his peers and the public by directing Canada 's men's hockey team to its first Gold Medal in fifty years in the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games in 2002. His other challenges included managing the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes, a team that he partly owned, and raising a family with wife Janet Jones, whom he married in 1988. Early Success in Hockey Born on January 26, 1961, Wayne Donald Gretzky was the second child and eldest son of Walter and Phyllis (Hockin) Gretzky. The Gretzkys raised their five children — one daughter and three other sons in addition to Wayne — in a small, three-bedroom home on Varadi Avenue in Brantford, Ontario, Canada."

In him, the attributes of the pure scorer and the playmaker were fused and his size, reach and balance made his end-to-end rushes seem effortless. In a few long strides, with a twist of those wide shoulders and quick change of direction, he found space on the ice where previously the way had been closed. Forced to choose between his accurate and heavy shot or his long arms reaching around them with a sweeping move, goalies were often left shaking their heads while they retrieved the puck from the net. Rarely has a sport's dominant player made the game look so easy and natural. A native of Montreal, Quebec, Lemieux (in French le mieux means \"\"the best\"\") was a sensational junior. He played for three seasons with the Laval Voisin in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In his final year he surpassed his childhood hero, Guy Lafleur, for the honour of being the top goal scorer in one QJMHL season. He set the record in his last game - in which Laval crushed Longueuil 16-4 - by scoring six goals and adding six assists for good measure. He led the Voisin to the Memorial Cup Tournament and was named the Canadian Major Junior player of the year for his 133 goals and 282 points, a total that easily topped Pierre Larouche's points record of 251."

They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Oilers were founded on November 1, 1971, with the team playing its first season in 1972, as one of the twelve founding franchises of the major professional World Hockey Association (WHA). They were originally intended to be one of two WHA teams in Alberta (the other one being the Calgary Broncos ). However, when the Broncos relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, before the WHA's first season began, the Oilers were renamed the Alberta Oilers. They returned to using the Edmonton Oilers name for the following year, and have been called that ever since. The Oilers subsequently joined the NHL in 1979 as one of four franchises introduced through the NHL merger with the WHA. After joining the NHL, the Oilers went on to win the Stanley Cup on five occasions: 1983–84, 1984–85, 1986–87, 1987–88 and 1989–90. Along with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Oilers are tied for the most championships won by any team since the NHL-WHA merger and also the most won by any team that joined the league in or after 1967. Among all NHL teams, only the Montreal Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup more times since the League's 1967 expansion."

"text": "Workplace retirement plans for pro athletes You might not think pro athletes earning millions would have to worry about the risk of outliving their retirement savings. But when you consider their retirement could conceivably stretch 50 years or more, that risk isn’t so far-fetched. Even with the most popular major sports leagues offering such benefits as pensions and 401 (k) plans with employer matches, an athlete’s relatively short career could make it hard to save adequately using those plans alone. “They’re not going to be able to put away in qualified retirement plans enough money to live on,” says Andre Mirkine, president of the Sports Financial Advisors Association. ( Qualified plans refer to those with tax advantages. )“ Then it’s incumbent upon the advisers who advise them to try to convince them to save,” he adds. Sometimes, former athletes run out of retirement savings chasing after wild investment deals, says Pete D’Arruda, a Cary, N. C., financial planner who frequently advises athletes. “Many athletes take a lot more risk than they should after their playing careers,” D’Arruda says. Players in these seven sports organizations, at least, have a formal employer-provided benefit plan to get them started. But data from players unions and collective bargaining agreements show that, when it comes to retirement security, the playing field is decidedly uneven."

"text": "Advertising Disclosure Professional Sports Pension Plans – How Much Do Retired Sports Stars Earn? Posted by Ryan Guina on November 16, 2017 | Investing In my recent post, I wrote about how much professional athletes earn. Not the star players, but the role players. Most of the professional athletes in the major sports earn millions of dollars per year after only a few years service time. On the other side of the equation are Olympic athletes, which often get by on much less (sometimes barely earning a five-figure income each year). This post covers how much these athletes earn during their pension years. A note about this information: Some information is not readily talked about by various players associations and was taken from varying sources. Some sources contradicted each other, but I tried to give the most accurate data I could find. How Much Do Retired Sports Stars Earn? Many of these athletes do very well after their playing days are done, and some are comparatively lacking."

In the spring of 1965, Jack Mc Gregor, a state senator from Kittaning, devised a plan to bring an NHL franchise back to Pittsburgh. Mc Gregor's plan involved lobbying some of his campaign contributors (who were avid sports fans) and community leaders. The group focused on leveraging the NHL as an urban renewal tool for Pittsburgh. The senator formed a group of local investors for the Pittsburgh franchise that included H. J. Heinz Company heir H.

After his retirement, Lemieux became one of the first players in professional sports to own the team for which he had played. Lemieux was born on October 5, 1965, in Montreal, Canada, the youngest of three sons of Jean-Guy and Pierrette Lemieux. Growing up in Ville Emard, just outside of Montreal, Lemieux began playing hockey at the age of three. He was encouraged in this pursuit by his father, a construction worker, who packed snow in their front hallway so his sons could practice skating inside. Lemieux played hockey every day after school, and his abilities soon became evident. Jean-Guy Lemieux told Kevin Dupont of The New York Times, \"\"At the age of six I knew he'd play professional. He was playing mite hockey then, with boys who were nine and ten years old and he was already the leader of the team. In every category, scoring and size, he was always bigger. \"\" When he was eligible, Lemieux played junior hockey for Quebec's Laval Voisins in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League."

A river basin consists of the entire geographic area (hillside, valley, plain) from which water flows into the primary river, which is made up of an intricate network of smaller rivers and streams. Rain falling within a river basin, or watershed, runs downhill until it reaches a stream. Small streams join other streams and flow into a river, and eventually that river flows into the sea. The fourteen river basins of Georgia are the Altamaha, Chattahoochee, Coosa, Flint, Ochlockonee, Ocmulgee, Oconee, Ogeechee, Satilla, Savannah, Suwanee, St. Marys, Tallapoosa, and Tennessee. The Savannah River, which begins at the confluence of the Seneca and Tugaloo rivers in the northeast part of the state, forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina. Georgia River Basins It empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah. The Tennessee River, part of the northwestern Coosa and Tallapoosa river basins, flows northward and enters the Mississippi River via the Ohio River.

"text": "\"Yellowstone Hotspot Overview Track Of The Hotspot The volcanic history of the Yellowstone-Snake River Plain volcanic field is based on the systematic time-progressive volcanic origin of this region that is characterized by several large calderas in eastern Snake River Plain with dimensions similar to those of Yellowstone's three giant Pleistocene calderas. These volcanic centers are located within the topographic depression that encompasses the Snake River drainage and is surrounded by topographically high shoulders on its east and west sides. Age Progression Of YSRP Silicic Volcanic Centers The systematic age progression of the volcanic centers provides the best direct evidence for systematic motion of the North American plate across a mantle magmatic source that first noted by Jason Morgan (1972), who calculated a southwest-trending vector for the North American plate of 1 - 2 cm/yr from a hypothesized plume beneath Yellowstone with a track along the Snake River Plain. The youngest silicic volcanic centers correspond to the Yellowstone volcanic field that are less than 2.0 Ma and are followed by a sequence of silicic centers at about 6 Ma, southwest of Yellowstone. A third group, near ~10 Ma, is centered near Pocatello, Idaho. The oldest mapped silicic rocks of the SRP are ~16 Ma, are distributed across a 150 km-wide zone in southwestern Idaho and northern Nevada, the suspected origin of the YSRP. Smith and Braile (1994) calculated a 4 cm/yr rate for the silicic age progression by fitting a linear regression of silicic volcanic ages and location along the YSRP. Their analysis shows an average rate of silicic age progression of 4.5 cm/yr for 20 - 0 Ma but they distinguish two regimes: 1) for the 0 - 8 Ma period, they determined a rate of 3.3 cm/yr, and 2) for the 16 - 8 Ma period, with a calculate a rate of 6.1 cm/yr. An important factor not incorporated into previous estimates of Yellowstone plate motion is the effect of concomitant crustal extension associated with the Basin-Range extension of ~0.5 to 1 cm/yr. for an integrated rate of ~3 cm/yr."

"text": "The Western Cordillera West of the Great Plains the United States seems to become a craggy land whose skyline is rarely without mountains—totally different from the open plains and rounded hills of the East. On a map the alignment of the two main chains—the Rocky Mountains on the east, the Pacific ranges on the west—tempts one to assume a geologic and hence topographic homogeneity. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for each chain is divided into widely disparate sections. Mountain Region: Geography The physical landscape of the Mountain Region of the United States ranges from the rugged Rocky Mountains to the sweeping fields of the Great Plains. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The Rockies are typically diverse. The Southern Rockies are composed of a disconnected series of lofty elongated upwarps, their cores made of granitic basement rocks, stripped of sediments, and heavily glaciated at high elevations. In New Mexico and along the western flanks of the Colorado ranges, widespread volcanism and deformation of colourful sedimentary rocks have produced rugged and picturesque country, but the characteristic central Colorado or southern Wyoming range is impressively austere rather than spectacular. The Front Range west of Denver is prototypical, rising abruptly from its base at about 6,000 feet (1,825 metres) to rolling alpine meadows between 11,000 and 12,000 feet (3,350 and 3,650 metres). Peaks appear as low hills perched on this high-level surface, so that Colorado, for example, boasts 53 mountains over 14,000 feet (4,270 metres) but not one over 14,500 feet (4,420 metres). The Middle Rockies cover most of west-central Wyoming."

Wikimedia Atlas of Ghana Ghana encompasses plains, low hills, rivers, Lake Volta, the world's largest artificial lake, Dodi Island and Bobowasi Island on the south Atlantic Ocean coast of Ghana. [ 1] Ghana can be divided into four different geographical ecoregions; the coastline is mostly a low, sandy shore backed by plains and scrub and intersected by several rivers and streams while the northern part of Ghana features high plains. [ 2] South-west and south-central Ghana is made up of a forested plateau region consisting of the Ashanti uplands and the Kwahu Plateau; the hilly Akwapim-Togo ranges are found along Ghana's eastern international border. [ 3]The Volta Basin takes up most of south-central Ghana and Ghana's highest point is Mount Afadja which is 885 m (2,904 ft) and is found in the Akwapim-Togo ranges. [ 4] [5] The climate is tropical and the eastern coastal belt is warm and comparatively dry, the south-west corner of Ghana is hot and humid, and the north of Ghana is warm and wet. [ 2] Lake Volta, the world's largest artificial lake, extends through small portions of south-eastern Ghana and many tributary rivers such as the Oti and Afram rivers flow into it. [ 6] The northernmost part of Ghana is Pulmakong and the southernmost part of Ghana is Cape three points near Axim. Ghana lies between latitudes 4° and 12°N. [7] South Ghana contains evergreen and semi-deciduous forests consisting of trees such as mahogany, odum, ebony and it also contains much of Ghana's oil palms and mangroves with shea trees, baobabs and acacias found in the northern part of Ghana.

The two largest islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and between the two of them make up 87% of Fiji's total landmass. These mountainous islands were formed around 150 million years ago through volcanic activity, and are subsequently covered in thick tropical forests. Most of Fiji's mountains are dormant or extinct volcanoes. Mount Tomanivi, located on the main island of Viti Levu, is the highest point at 4,341 feet (1,324 m), and the lowest point is the Pacific Ocean (0 m). Perhaps what Fiji is most famous for, however, are its crystal clear waters, coral reefs and white sand beaches that draw in thousands annually.

[ 9] The river rises in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It flows northwest and then south into the US state of Washington, then turns west to form most of the border between Washington and the state of Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The river is 1,243 miles (2,000 km) long, and its largest tributary is the Snake River. Its drainage basin is roughly the size of France and extends into seven US states and a Canadian province. The fourth-largest river in the United States by volume, the Columbia has the greatest flow of any North American river entering the Pacific. The Columbia and its tributaries have been central to the region's culture and economy for thousands of years. They have been used for transportation since ancient times, linking the region's many cultural groups. The river system hosts many species of anadromous fish, which migrate between freshwater habitats and the saline waters of the Pacific Ocean."

Oceans play an integral role in many of the Earth's systems. The ocean supports the life of nearly half of all species on Earth, providing 20 percent of the animal protein and five percent of the total protein in the human diet. Though there generally are considered to be four different oceans, there are no physical divisions separating them, thus the water flowing through them is the same. The five major oceans on Earth are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. The Pacific Ocean, the Earth's largest ocean, flows to the west of the Americas and along the eastern edge of Asia. The Pacific Ocean is sometimes divided into the North Pacific and the South Pacific. The Atlantic Ocean is between the Americas and Europe and Africa, and like the Pacific, the Atlantic is also sometimes divided into the North and South Atlantic. The Indian Ocean is situated below the Indian subcontinent, to the east of Africa and the west of Australia and the islands like Malaysia and Indonesia. The Arctic Ocean is around the north pole, and is the shallowest ocean of all - sometimes considered a sea rather than an ocean."

S. state of California. It is 40 to 60 miles (60 to 100 km) wide and stretches approximately 450 miles (720 km) from north-northwest to south-southeast, inland from and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. It covers approximately 18,000 square miles (47,000 km 2 ), [1] about 11% of California's total land area (or about the size of Denmark ). The valley is bounded by the Sierra Nevada to the east and the Coast Ranges to the west. It is California's single most productive agricultural region and one of the most productive in the world, providing more than half of the fruits, vegetables and nuts grown in the United States. [ 3] More than 7 million acres (28,000 km 2) of the valley are irrigated via an extensive system of reservoirs and canals. [ 4] The valley also has many major cities, including the state capital Sacramento; as well as Redding, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno and Bakersfield. The Central Valley watershed comprises 60,000 square miles (160,000 km 2 ), or over a third of California. Its three main drainage systems are the Sacramento Valley in the north, which receives well over 20 inches (510 mm) of rain annually; the drier San Joaquin Valley in the south, and the Tulare Basin and its semi-arid desert climate at the southernmost end. The Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems drain their respective valleys and meet to form the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, a large expanse of interconnected canals, stream beds, sloughs, marshes and peat islands.

This empirically developed stoichiometric ratio was originally found to be C: N: P = 106:16:1 (and has more recently been revised to 117:14:1 [1] ). This term is named after the American oceanographer Alfred C. Redfield, who first described this ratio in an article written in 1934 (Redfield 1934). As a Harvard physiologist, Redfield participated in several voyages on board the research vessel Atlantis. Alfred Redfield analyzed thousands of samples of marine biomass across all of the ocean regions. From this research he found that globally the elemental composition of marine organic matter (dead and living) was remarkably constant across all of the regions.

These conditions exist within areas of high biological productivity associated with volcanic islands and nutrient-rich upwelling zones. As the least common type of pelagic sediment, it covers only 15% of the ocean floor. It accumulates at a slower rate than calcareous ooze: 0.2–1 cm / 1000 yr. ["

The term plankton is a collective name for all such organisms—including certain algae, bacteria, protozoans, crustaceans, mollusks, and coelenterates, as well as representatives from almost every other phylum of animals. Plankton is distinguished from nekton, which is composed of strong-swimming animals, and from benthos, which includes sessile, creeping, and burrowing organisms on the seafloor. Large floating seaweeds (for example, Sargassum, which constitutes the Sargasso Sea) and various related multicellular algae are not considered plankton but pleuston. Pleuston are forms of life that live at the interface of air and water. Organisms resting or swimming on the surface film of the water are called neuston (e.g., the alga Ochromonas ). Phytoplankton includes diatoms such as Navicula and Ditylum. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Zooplankton such as copepods, rotifers, tintinnids, and larvaceans are examples of permanent plankton (holoplankton). Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Plankton is the productive base of both marine and freshwater ecosystems, providing food for larger animals and indirectly for humans, whose fisheries depend upon plankton. As a human resource, plankton has only begun to be developed and exploited, in view of its high biological productivity and wide extent."

Primary producers are able to utilize photosynthesis to create organic molecules from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Ecologically vital, algae account for roughly half of photosynthetic production of organic material on Earth in both freshwater and marine environments. Algae exist either as single cells or as multicellular organizations. Diatoms are microscopic, single-celled algae that have intricate glass-like outer cell walls partially composed of silicon. Different species of diatom can be identified based upon the structure of these walls. Many diatom species are planktonic, suspended in the water column moving at the mercy of water currents. Others remain attached to submerged surfaces. One bucketful of water may contain millions of diatoms. Their abundance makes them important food sources in aquatic ecosystems."

It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism. Cell walls are present in most prokaryotes (except mycoplasma bacteria), in algae, plants and fungi but rarely in other eukaryotes including animals. A major function is to act as pressure vessels, preventing over-expansion of the cell when water enters. The composition of cell walls varies between species and may depend on cell type and developmental stage. The primary cell wall of land plants is composed of the polysaccharides cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Often, other polymers such as lignin, suberin or cutin are anchored to or embedded in plant cell walls. Algae possess cell walls made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides such as carrageenan and agar that are absent from land plants. In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan."

Fish are not planktonic as they can move and determine which way to go. Animals of open water that have the ability to swim purposefully and powerfully are called nekton. Most plankton is microscopic, especially that found in freshwater. Marine plankton have exclusively whole groups of organisms that are very visible to the naked eye, e.g. Ctenophores (sea gooseberries). All plankton is divided into the plant-type plankton, the phytoplankton, and the animal plankton, zooplankton. The latter can be further sub-divided into the temporary and permanent zooplankton. The temporary tends to be those which are larval forms of adults living on the seashore, e.g. barnacle larvae called nauplii. In freshwater the temporary plankton is very limited. As planktonic creatures are so small they will get everywhere."

These tiny phytoplankton are essential to life on Earth, says biologist Sam Laney. “Just like plants on land, phytoplankton do photosynthesis: They suck up carbon dioxide and exhaust oxygen. About half of the oxygen on the planet comes from phytoplankton, so every other breath you take is phytoplankton air. In fact, Earth didn’t originally have oxygen in its atmosphere; the evolution of phytoplankton is responsible for there being oxygen for us in the first place. “Moreover, phytoplankton are the base of marine food webs. Tuna fish or squid ultimately exist because earlier in the food chain, somebody ate some phytoplankton. ”But Laney, a scientist at Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution, has his own individual perspective."

In Diatoms [ edit]A similar resting spore life stage is also present in diatoms, and in such case, is also often referred to as the hypnospore. Importantly, the resting spore of marine diatoms is not an obligate stage of the life cycle, [1] except in the minority of studied taxa, where spore production immediately follows the first cellular product of sexual reproduction, the auxospore. [ 2] Generally, resting spore formation in diatoms is primarily considered a survival tactic for adverse conditions by producing dense spores with thick silica frustules that can sink cells out of the surface, typically high in light and temperature, into the cooler, darker and nutrient rich depths."

The diatom shell, called a frustule, is different for each species, so you can identify them through a microscope. By looking at the fossil frustules in the layers of sediment, you can see which kind of diatoms lived when that layer was deposited. If you figure out the date corresponding to each layer of sediment, and you know what water conditions each diatom species prefers, you will know what the water quality was like through history. Diatom facts: Diatoms photosynthesize. They are categorized as either protists or chromists. They provide a significant amount of the world's oxygen supply (some say 35%). There are over a hundred thousand species identified. Diatoms live anywhere there is water and light, including lakes, streams, estuaries, oceans, puddles and wet rocks or soil.

There are at least 13 species in the genus Aurelia including many that are still not formally described. [ 1] [2] It has been suggested that Aurelia is the best-studied group of gelatinous zooplankton, with Aurelia aurita the best-studied species in the genus; two other species, Aurelia labiata and Aurelia limbata have also been investigated (studies summarized by Arai [3] ). Since most previous studies of Aurelia were done without the benefit of genetic identification, one cannot positively attribute the results of most research to the species named. Species of Aurelia can be found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and are common to the waters off California, northern China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the Black Sea, Indonesia, the eastern coast of the United States as well as Europe. [ 2] Aurelia undergoes alternation of generations, whereby the sexually-reproducing pelagic medusa stage is either male or female, and the benthic polyp stage reproduces asexually. Meanwhile, life cycle reversal, in which polyps are formed directly from juvenile and sexually mature medusae or their fragments, was also observed in Aurelia sp.1.

Unlike higher plants, microalgae do not have roots, stems, or leaves. They are specially adapted to an environment dominated by viscous forces. Microalgae, capable of performing photosynthesis, are important for life on earth; they produce approximately half of the atmospheric oxygen [2] and use simultaneously the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to grow photoautotrophically. Microalgae, together with bacteria, form the base of the food web and provide energy for all the trophic levels above them. Microalgae biomass is often measured with chlorophyll a concentrations and can provide a useful index of potential production. The standing stock of microphytes is closely related to that of its predators. Without grazing pressures the standing stock of microphytes dramatically decreases [3]The biodiversity of microalgae is enormous and they represent an almost untapped resource."

It is located just anterior to the ear, with extensions behind the ear and inferiorly into the upper neck. The most common indication for parotidectomy is tumors in the gland; the operation is rarely performed for severe, recurrent infections within the gland. Fortunately, most parotid tumors (85-90%) are benign. The malignancies vary widely in their aggressiveness and prognosis; many low grade parotid cancers are highly curable with surgery. The most common parotid tumor is a pleomorphic adenoma, also called a benign mixed tumor. Pleomorphic adenomas have been known to degenerate into cancers if they are neglected for many years, hence the standard treatment for most parotid tumors is surgery. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) can be done preoperatively but rarely changes the decision as to whether to operate or not, hence FNA is not always required.

The surface of lips in humans is equipped with very sensitive sensory receptors that help us determine temperature and texture of food, in order to avoid the ingestion of excessively hot or cold substances, or of rough, hard, or sharp objects. The inner surface of each lip is connected in the middle line to the corresponding gum by a fold of mucous membrane, the labial frenulum.

"text": "Reduce Swollen Lymph Node in Front of Ear & Neck: Causes & Treatment By upu June 17, 2011 Updated on December 13, 2011Lymph nodes are tiny nodules present all over the body. They are found in clusters. You can palpate lymph nodes when they are swollen, but in normal circumstances they are hardly palpable. Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system in the body. Their main function is to trap the bacteria and foreign organisms from the lymph fluid that runs through the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes get swollen in the process. Therefore, Physicians always palpate the lymph nodes when they suspect infection. Lymph nodes also get enlarged when they trap the cells of a tumor. Swollen lymph nodes are easily palpable in the neck, ear, underarms and in groin region. Causes of Swollen Lymph Nodes An infection on the Pinna of the ear due to ear piercing can be a cause of swollen lymph node in front of the ear."

SALIVARY GLAND IMAGING • Diagnostic imaging of salivary gland disease may be undertaken to differentiate inflammatory processes from neoplastic disease, distinguish diffuse disease from focal suppurative disease, identify and localize sialoliths, and demonstrate ductal morphology. • In addition, diagnostic imaging attempts to determine the anatomic location of a tumor, differentiate benign from malignant disease, demonstrate the relationship between a mass and adjacent anatomic structures, and aid in the selection of biopsy site. • A number of imaging techniques are useful in the evaluation of the salivary glands.2. ALGORITHM FOR DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING • Plain film radiography is typically the appropriate starting point for imaging the major salivary glands from a cost- benefit point of view. – It can demonstrate sialoliths and the possible involvement of adjacent osseous structures. • Because obstructive and associated unflammatory conditions are the most common disorders and primarily involve the ductal system, conventional sialography is the most appropriate imaging modality. • If the patient is allergic to the iodine contrast agent used in sialography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography (US) may be selected as an alternative imaging modality. • Recent studies comparing the diagnostic yield of MRI with sialography suggest that MRI might replace sialography in the future as the imaging modality of choice for ductal pathosis.3. • Sialography or CT is the best imaging modality for the detection of sialoliths (sialolithiasis)."

They are covered externally by skin and internally by the same mucous membrane (mucosa) that lines the entire oral cavity. The lips help keep saliva and food inside the mouth and move it over the teeth for chewing. They are also important in the formation of speech and in several behavioral expressions such as kissing or laughing. The surface of lips in humans is equipped with very sensitive sensory receptors that help us determine temperature and texture of food, in order to avoid the ingestion of excessively hot or cold substances, or of rough, hard, or sharp objects. The inner surface of each lip is connected in the middle line to the corresponding gum by a fold of mucous membrane, the labial frenulum. The Cheeks The cheeks form the sidewalls of the mouth and cover the area of the face below the eyes, between the nose and ears, along the front of the face to the lips. They are composed of connective tissue, subcutaneous fat and certain muscles, with the outside layer covered by skin and the inside by a moist inner lining, a mucous membrane called ‘mucosa’. The cheek muscles are important in smiling, swallowing, compression and keeping food in the mouth for chewing and digestion. The Teeth Teeth are the more characteristic part of the mouth's anatomy."

Pediatricians are medical doctors who diagnose, treat, examine and prevent diseases and injuries in patients from infancy to young adulthood. They perform many of the same tasks as a general physician, such as recording medical history, ordering diagnostic tests if needed, recommending treatment plans and addressing other health concerns. In addition to these responsibilities, pediatricians are trained in diagnosing and treating problems specific to young patients. They will try to prevent any health issues by administering vaccinations and talking with parents about proper health and preventative care. Some pediatricians may further specialize in pediatric surgery or medical conditions typically specific to their young patients.

Good vision is key to a child’s physical development, success in school and overall well-being. The vision system is not fully formed in babies and young children, and equal input from both eyes is necessary for the brain’s vision centers to develop normally. If a young child’s eyes cannot send clear images to the brain, his or her vision may become limited in ways that cannot be corrected later in life. But if problems are detected early, it is usually possible to treat them effectively. When and how should screening be done? It is essential to check children’s vision when they are first born and again during infancy, preschool and school years. Screening can be performed by a pediatrician, family physician or other properly trained health care provider. It is also often offered at schools, community health centers or community events. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus recommend the following exams: Newborn."

"text": "\"Questions and Answers for Patients, Families, and Surrogates Health care consumers with serious illnesses have greater access to information about palliative care as a result of two New York State laws. The Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA) and the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA) require health care providers to make available to patients with serious illnesses, and their families, information about their condition, their treatment options, and palliative care services. The PCIA requires physicians and nurse practitioners to offer terminally-ill patients information and counseling concerning treatment options, palliative care and end-of-life options. The PCAA imposes certain requirements on hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies and two types of assisted living residences (enhanced and special needs) regarding palliative care. It requires these entities to make available information and counseling regarding options for palliative care and to facilitate access to palliative care to patients with advanced life limiting conditions and illnesses.1) Question: What is the Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA)?2) Question: What is the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA)?3) Question: What is the difference between the Palliative Care Information Act and the Palliative Care Access Act?4) Question: What is palliative care and how can it help me?5) Question: What will palliative care add to the care I am receiving now?6) Question: Why would my health care practitioner suggest that I get palliative care?7) Question: What does it mean if I ask for palliative care?8) Question: What kind of questions would be good to ask my health care practitioner about palliative care if I think it might be good for me?9) Question: What questions should I ask of my health care practitioner to make sure that my personal beliefs, values, and goals are considered in the palliative plan of care?10) Question: If I want to have palliative care, can I keep my doctor or nurse?11) Question: What happens if I change my mind and want to stop getting palliative care?12) Question: If I ask for palliative care, does it mean I am \"\"giving up'?13) Question: How is palliative care different from hospice?14) Question: Do I have to be in a hospital to receive palliative care?15) Question: Can you explain how palliative care is paid for?

Answer: The Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA) requires the attending health care practitioner to offer to provide patients with a terminal illness with information and counseling regarding palliative care and end-of-life options appropriate to the patient, including: Prognosis;Range of options appropriate to the patient;Risks and benefits of various options;Patient's \"\"legal rights to comprehensive pain and symptom management at the end of life. \"\" Physicians and nurse practitioners are also required to offer patients with a terminal illness information regarding other appropriate treatment options, if the patient wishes to initiate or continue treatments other than, or in addition to, palliative care. The Palliative Care Information Act focuses on patients with a medical condition that is expected to cause death within six months. However, this information and counseling is also appropriate for patients with serious illnesses who do not have a terminal condition."

QAt what age do you consider transferring a child from a pediatrician to a family practitioner? My son is 16 and is beginning to be uncomfortable going to a \"\"baby\"\" doctor. AThere is not an exact age that is appropriate for changing to an \"\"adult\"\" doctor. It really is a personal decision that you and your son can make together. Although many consider pediatricians as \"\"baby\"\" doctors, pediatricians are well trained specialists in the care of newborns, children, and adolescents, often until they finish college. Some pediatricians even take care of young adults with chronic diseases with whom they have long established relationships, since diagnoses were made when the patients were young. As I'm sure you're experiencing, adolescents are unique. They are a special population that requires more health supervision during this critical period in their lives."

"text": "Finding a Pediatrician The best way to start looking for a pediatrician is by asking other parents you know and trust. They are likely to know you, your style, and your needs. You also should consider asking your obstetrician for advice. She will know local pediatricians who are competent and respected within the medical community. If you’re new to the community, you may decide to contact a nearby hospital, medical school, or county medical society for a list of local pediatricians. If you are a member of a managed care plan, you probably will be required to choose a pediatrician from among their approved network of doctors. Once you have the names of several pediatricians you wish to consider, start by contacting and arranging a personal interview with each of them during the final months of your pregnancy. Many pediatricians are happy to fit such preliminary interviews into their busy schedules. Before meeting with the pediatrician, the office staff should be able to answer some of your more basic questions: Is the pediatrician accepting new patients with my insurance or managed care plan? What are the office hours?"

Many complete bachelor's degree programs and then go on to pursue medical degrees from an accredited medical school after submitting MCAT scores. Most pediatricians obtain a Doctor of Medicine (M. D.). However, individuals with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D. O.) may also practice general pediatrics in primary care or family practice offices. Both require four years of medical school and 3-8 years of internships and residencies. Upon graduation, pediatricians must pass the U. S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in order to practice as physicians. Pediatricians may choose between pursuing an M. D. degree program or a D. O. degree program.

"text": "What is syncope (fainting)? Syncope is the medical term for fainting. A person faints when the brain isn’t getting enough blood pressure. If the brain lacks adequate blood pressure, the body immediately does what it can to get more blood (which carries oxygen) to the brain. When a person faints, they usually fall over and/or lie down. It ends up being easier for blood to get to the brain when a person is lying flat; when a person is standing, blood must move up against gravity to reach the brain from the heart. Causes In the majority of cases, fainting is not a sign of a dangerous medical condition. Fainting in adolescents is somewhat common. However, it should not be ignored. Dehydration is the most common cause of fainting in children."

Understanding the diagnosis process can be a source of comfort for parents anxious about the process. The process around a Cerebral Palsy diagnosis The process for diagnosing Cerebral Palsy involves monitoring the child’s development and watching for possible signs of impairment. If a baby is born prematurely, or at a low birth weight, he or she is monitored closely in the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital. If the infant attends regular well-baby visits, during examination of the child the pediatrician may be first to notice signs of Cerebral Palsy. In some cases, it is the parents who notice symptoms they relay to the child’s doctor. Parents are often disheartened to learn that there is no singular test that will definitively diagnose a child with Cerebral Palsy. Once a round of medical evaluations are initiated in order to form a diagnosis, parents prepare for a long and sometimes frustrating process that will, in time, provide answers about a child’s condition."

Some pediatricians provide primary care to children in general pediatric group or solo practices, but others practice pediatric subspecialties like allergy and immunology, anesthesiology, cardiology, critical care, emergency medicine, endocrinology, radiology, and surgery. What kind of training is required to become a pediatrician? Up until their residencies, pediatricians receive the same training as any other physician. Physicians must attend medical school, a four-year graduate program, after completing all or most of a bachelor’s degree. Applying to medical school is a rigorous process, and medical schools prefer applicants with high grades in science and math courses, a high score on the Medical College Admissions Test, positive references and interviews, and experience working or volunteering in health care. Students who are accepted to a medical school begin their physician training by learning about the scientific foundations of medicine. Most of the first two years of a typical medical school program are spent in the classroom. Students take courses in anatomy and physiology, cell structure and genetics, pathology (the study of the causes and effects of disease), immunology (the study of immune function), and pharmacology (the study of the uses and effects of different kinds of drugs). Students also spend time learning about organ systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, renal, urinary tract, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems."

Essentially, a pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in the treatment of children from birth to eighteen years of age, although this is extended to twenty-one years in many areas. A child often sees the same pediatrician from the time they are a small child until they are in college. Schooling When asking what do pediatricians do, it also helps to look at their schooling. In addition to the traditional four years of schooling to become an MD, a pediatrician must complete a three year residency in some type of pediatric field. After completing their residency, they can become board-certified as pediatricians. After this, many pediatricians choose to further their specialization and focus on a particular group of disorders, a certain age range or even one individual disease, such as cancer. Locations Pediatricians most commonly work in either a hospital or a traditional doctor’s office."

Here are some things to think about as you're mulling over the idea of becoming a pediatrician. You'll be in school for a long time. To become a physician of any type requires four years of college, four years of medical school, and at least three years of an internship and residency. Some people considering a medical career worry about having to work exhaustingly long hours during a residency, and that has been a problem in the past. But in response to concerns about fatigue (for residents) and safety (for patients), the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education put limits on the number of hours doctors-in-training are expected to work: no more than 80 hours a week, including when they must work when on call.

One of baby’s first milestones is rolling over, and it’s such a fun—not to mention important—development, since it’s the first sign baby is becoming more mobile and independent. Once baby can roll from belly to back and back to belly, sitting up and crawling are usually not far behind. Read on to learn at what age do babies roll over and how to help baby learn to roll over on his or her own. When Do Babies Roll Over? Babies can start rolling over as young as 3 to 4 months old, says pediatrician Deena Blanchard, MD, MPH, since it takes them a few months to build up the necessary strength—including neck and arm muscles and good head control—to pull off this physical feat. Newborns have what’s called a fencing reflex, which is meant to prevent them from rolling over in those first few weeks. When a newborn’s face is turned to one side, baby’s arm and leg on that side extend while the opposite arm and leg flex. “ It’s nature’s built-in mechanism for preventing SIDS ,” says pediatrician Cheryl Wu, MD."

Aspergillus Adapted from An Overview of the Genus Aspergillus by Joan W. Bennett writing in Aspergillus: Molecular Biology and Genomics Introduction Aspergillus is one of the oldest named genera of fungi. By 1926, Aspergillus had become one of the best-known and most studied mould groups. Their prevalence in the natural environment, their ease of cultivation on laboratory media and the economic importance of several of its species ensured that many mycologists and industrial microbiologists were attracted to their study. Aspergilli grow abundantly as saprophytes on decaying vegetation and have been found in large numbers in mouldy hay, organic compost piles, leaf litter and the like. Most species are adapted for the degradation of complex plant polymers, but they can also dine on substrates as diverse as dung, human tissues, and antique parchment. There is even a report of an unidentified Aspergillus species being capable of the solubilization of low rank coal. Suggested reading: Aspergillus: Molecular Biology and Genomics This common mould is involved in many industrial processes including enzymes (e.g. amylases), commodity chemicals (e.g. citric acid) and food stuffs (e.g. soy sauce). In classical fungal genetics, one species Aspergillus (Emericella) nidulans has been used to elucidate the parasexual cycle, as well as to understand basic concepts in regulation of metabolic pathways, the cell cycle, intron splicing and hyphal polarity. Several species contaminate grains and other foods with toxic metabolites that are a threat to the health of humans and other animals."

"text": "\"Introduction and Goals This tutorial will cover the vast and variable Kingdom Fungi, and its impact on the environment. Fungi (fungus, sing. ), like bacteria, are most commonly decomposers, assisting in the essential task of recycling nutrients in ecosystems (Fig. 1). The majority of all plant species depend on symbiotic fungi for enhanced water and nutrient absorption. Other species have been exploited by humans for centuries for the production of bread, beer, wine, cheese, and edible fruiting bodies (mushrooms). Antibiotic-producing fungi (e.g., Pennicillium chysogenum) have changed the face of modern medicine, saving millions of lives. Conversely, other species cause economically important and often devastating diseases to plants and animals (humans included). Fungal-induced plant disease epidemics have had dramatic historical influences, resulting in starvation, war, and human migration. Fungi are also responsible for the rots that damage timber, agricultural products, and human-made structures."

"text": "\"Home >> What fungi are >> Reproduction >> Asexual Reproduction >> Asexual sporangia FUNGI REPRODUCING ASEXUALLY BY MEANS OF SPORANGIASporangiospores are spores that are produced in a sporangium (plural: sporangia ). A sporangium in fungi (but not mosses and some other organisms) is simply a cell containing spores. We encounter this term in our discussion of sexual reproduction in the Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota and see that a sporangium can be the site of meiosis or mitosis. The important point is that a sporangium is a cell that encloses its spores until they are mature and ready for dispersal. Asexual sporangia are commonly produced by the Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Although some similar structures, such as asci, are produced by members of the Dikarya they are never called sporangia and instead have their own special terms. The picture at right is the same one used in our discussion of sexual reproduction, except that it was photographed using bright-field rather than phase-contrast optics. It depicts a species of Rhizophidium, a member of the Chytridiomycota, growing on the upper surface of a grain of pine pollen floating in a pond. This individual is typical of many chytrids in its simplicity; the sporangium is essentially the whole fungus. It started to grow on the pollen grain when a spore landed there and became attached by rhizoids, seen as faint threads extending into the pollen grain."

Those chapters looked at their habitats and cellular structure. This chapter will look at the ways they reproduce. Types of reproduction All living things reproduce. Reproduction is the process of generating offspring. There are two main types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Some organisms reproduce by only one method of reproduction and others can reproduce using either method. Microorganisms can reproduce sexually and asexually. The type of reproduction where cells from only one parent are used, is called asexual reproduction. Only genetically identical organisms are produced by this type of reproduction."

"text": "Reproduction in Fungi: Vegetative, Asexual and Sexual Methods Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: Some of the important methods of reproduction in Fungi are as follows:1. Vegetative reproduction: The most common method of vegetative reproduction is fragmentation. The hypha breaks up into small fragments accidentally or otherwise. Each fragment develops into a new individual. In the laboratory the ‘hyphal tip method’ is commonly used for inoculation of saprophytic fungus. Image Courtesy : upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Red_pouch_fungus_01.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: In addition to above-mentioned common method of vegetative reproduction the fungi reproduced vegetatively by other means, such as fission, budding, sclerotia, rhizomorphs, etc. In fission, the cell constricts in the centre and divides into two giving rise to new individuals. The budding is commonly found in Saccharomyces. The buds arise from the protoplasm of the parent cells and ultimately become new individuals. The sclerotia are resistant and perennating bodies."

Which are of diverse forms, sizes, physiology and reproduces both by sexual (meiotic) and asexual (mitotic) spores. Examples of fungi :- Mushrooms, yeasts, molds, Penicillium- the first of the wonder drugs, penicillin, was isolated from this fungus and crop parasites. Fungi are most often associated with the roots of some plant species, and this type of symbiotic associations is known as mycorrhizae. The study of fungi is known as mycology (Mykes = mushroom + logos = discourse) or mycetology and who study about fungus is known as mycologist. General characteristics of Fungi Most fungi are eukaryotic,multinucleate, multicellular organisms, except yeasts which are unicellular. Nutrition Fungi are heterotrophic because these lack chlorophyll (green pigment) and thus cannot create their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi acquire their nutrients from dead organic matter by secretion of extracellular enzymes followed by absorption. These are either :-Saprophytes or Saprobes :- Most fungi are saprophytes ,obtaining nutrients by absorbing dead organic matter. Parasitic :-Some fungi are parasites, living in or on another organism (called a host) from which they obtain their nutrients."

The conjunctiva is thin clear tissue covering the front of the eye. One or both eyes may be affected, and the condition can spread from one to the other. Who has a greater chance of getting conjunctivitis? People who have a greater chance of getting conjunctivitis include: Those close to a person with conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis from infections is very easily spread to other people around you, so precautions should be taken, such as not sharing towels and always carrying out good handwashing. Commuters on crowded trains also have a greater chance of picking up conjunctivitis. Older people. Older people's immune systems may be less able to fight the infections."

"text": "Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Causes, Symptoms, Pictures, Treatment Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The conjunctiva is the a thin transparent mucous membrane that covers the outer part of the eye and continues to line the inner eyelid. It helps with lubrication by producing small quantities of tear-like fluid although most of the lubrication comes from the lacrimal glands (tear glands). The conjunctiva is similar to normal skin in that it is made up of squamous epithelium although it is non-keratinized. It also serves as a barrier between the delicate eye tissue and the environment and plays an important role in immune responses. The conjunctiva is bombarded daily with dust, chemicals, microbes and other irritants and when injured it becomes inflamed. This causes it to appear red and is commonly referred to as conjunctivitis. What is conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the thin clear mucous membrane lining the outer eyeball and inner eyelid. Depending on the cause of the inflammation, conjunctivitis may be categorized as infectious or non-infectious. The most common causes of infectious conjunctivitis are viral or bacterial infections while most non-infectious cases are allergic or due to irritants."

"text": "Eye Boogers, Eye Mucus and Discharge: Causes and Treatments By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health It is common to find eye mucus in the corner of your eyes or crusts on your eyelashes in the morning when you awake from sleep. Usually, during the day time, blinking washes the clear-looking discharge from your eye. But while you are sleeping the mucus can build up and form into eye goop which is why you often find this gunk in your eyes in the morning. Some people call this eye discharge, eye boogers, eye sleep, or sleepy sands. If you have too much eye mucus in your eyes in the morning or during the day, this can be due to an eye infection, dry eye syndrome, a sty in your eye, or blocked tear duct. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may just have little crusty specks that stick to the corner of your eye or the eye discharge could be so much that your eyelids stick together. Advertisement In this article, we will look at the reasons why eye mucus can build up and cause irritation and discomfort in your eyes. You will also find out how to treat the underlying causes of having too much eye discharge and how to get rid of the pesky eye boogers naturally. What is Eye Mucus? Glands produce mucus to protect the delicate surface of your eyes, mouth, and nose from dirt and grime."

Eyelids are first line of defense => promote desiccation of ocular surface and promote tear turnover via periodic closure. 2.) Tear film dilutes/removes microbes from ocular surface. Tear lysozyme, lactoferrin, Ig A, and cytokines help. 3.) Mucin from goblet cells of conjunctiva inhibit attachment of microbes to oular surface."

This condition is aptly termed a \"\"cold in the eye\"\" because it typically represents spread of the virus responsible for the cold spreading to the eye. This condition, a form of pink eye or viral conjunctivitis, most frequently occurs due to infection with adenovirus -- a common culprit for head colds and the leading cause of viral conjunctivitis. Symptoms of a cold in the eye are uncomfortable but typically clear on their own without specific treatment. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Eye Redness With a cold in the eye, a virus infects the conjunctiva -- the thin membrane of tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the front of the eyeball. The infection irritates this tissue, causing redness of the whites of the eyes. If you look closely, you'll typically see thin squiggly red lines, which represent tiny dilated blood vessels. The inside and rims of the eyelids also typically appear red. Lid Swelling Viral infection of the conjunctiva provokes an inflammatory response by the immune system, which almost always leads to eyelid swelling. Most people experience only mild to moderate swelling, but significant puffiness can occur with severe cases."

If the question 'how long does pink eye last' is swirling in your mind right now, then scroll down to know the incubation period of 'pink eye' and for how many days can 'pink eye' be contagious. An eye infection, either bacterial or viral in nature, can cause inflammation of the outermost layer of the eye, conjunctiva. This condition is called conjunctivitis or colloquially, pink eye. A person who has contracted a pink eye is not only in great discomfort until the condition heals completely, but also his entire routine goes for a toss. He / she should seek medical help immediately. Incubation Period The incubation period for pink eye depends upon the type, causes and symptoms. It is the period between the start of the infection and appearance of the symptoms, and it can be 12 hours to 3 days for a viral infection. For bacterial infection, it may take 1-3 days, for the symptoms to show up."

Conjunctivitis, more commonly known as pinkeye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, a clear membrane that covers the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. As with many of the more common eye inflammations, conjunctivitis usually looks and feels worse than it is and while the pronounced redness can be quite alarming at first glance, conjunctivitis very rarely causes long term visual damage. It is, however, a condition that often needs to be diagnosed and treated early as certain types of conjunctivitis are very contagious and any prolonged inflammation of the eyes should be treated with caution to prevent complications and tissue damage. What are the Symptoms of Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)Conjunctivitis is diagnosed with a straight forward eye examination using a slit lamp (a microscope with a light attached that has been specifically designed for eye examinations). Your doctor or optometrist will examine your eye and ask you about all your symptoms in order to rule out other inflammatory eye conditions and diseases that can mimic symptoms of pink eye. In some cases a sample of the eye discharge may be taken to determine the type of bacteria or virus causing the infection. What are the Symptoms of Conjunctivitis? Pinkeye is caused by infections (from bacteria or viruses), allergies, or certain irritants that come into contact with the eye, thus the different types of conjunctivitis tend to cause different symptoms."

PULLING, MD, Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine Am Fam Physician. 2011 Nov 1;84 (9):1027-1033. Patient information: See related handout on osteomyelitis, written by the authors of this article. Related letter: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis The incidence of chronic osteomyelitis is increasing because of the prevalence of predisposing conditions such as diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease. The increased availability of sensitive imaging tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy, has improved diagnostic accuracy and the ability to characterize the infection. Plain radiography is a useful initial investigation to identify alternative diagnoses and potential complications. Direct sampling of the wound for culture and antimicrobial sensitivity is essential to target treatment. The increased incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis complicates antibiotic selection. Surgical debridement is usually necessary in chronic cases. The recurrence rate remains high despite surgical intervention and long-term antibiotic therapy."

"text": "Bone Infection (Osteomyelitis)Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatments Risk factors Prevention Outlook What is a bone infection (osteomyelitis)? A bone infection, also called osteomyelitis, can result when bacteria or fungi invade a bone. In children, bone infections most commonly occur in the long bones of the arms and legs. In adults, they usually appear in the hips, spine, and feet. Bone infections can happen suddenly or develop over a long period of time. If they’re not properly treated, bone infections can leave a bone permanently damaged. Causes What causes osteomyelitis? Many organisms, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, travel through the bloodstream and can cause a bone infection. An infection may begin in one area of the body and spread to the bones via the blood stream. Organisms that invade a severe injury, deep cut, or wound can also cause infections in nearby bones."

Last updated Thu 4 January 2018By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by William Morrison, MDTreatment Symptoms Causes Complications Risk factors Diagnosis Osteomyelitis is an infection and inflammation of the bone or the bone marrow. It can happen if a bacterial or fungal infection enters the bone tissue from the bloodstream, due to injury or surgery. Around 80 percent of cases develop because of an open wound. Symptoms include deep pain and muscle spasms in the inflammation area, and fever. Bone infections commonly affect the long bones in the leg and upper arm, the spine, and the pelvis. In the past, it was difficult to treat osteomyelitis, but now, aggressive treatment can often save the infected bone and stem the spread of infection. Osteomyelitis is estimated to affect 2 out of every 10,000 people in the United States at some time. In this article, we explain the treatment, symptoms, causes, and more. Treatment Treatment depends on the type of osteomyelitis."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Vertebral osteomyelitis (also termed spinal osteomyelitis, spondylodiskitis, or disk-space infection ), [1] is a type of osteomyelitis (which is infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow ). Vertebral osteomyelitis is a rare bone infection concentrated in the spinal region. [ 2] Cases of vertebral osteomyelitis are so rare that only 2-4% of all bone infections are attributed to the disease. [ 3] The infection can be classified as acute or chronic depending on the severity of the onset of the case, [4] where acute patients often experience better outcomes than those living with the chronic symptoms that are characteristic of the disease. Although vertebral osteomyelitis is found in patients across a wide range of ages, the infection is commonly reported in young children and older adults. Vertebral osteomyelitis often attacks two vertebrae and the corresponding intervertebral disk, causing narrowing of the disc space between the vertebrae. [ 5] The prognosis for the disease is dependent on where the infection is concentrated in the spine, the time between initial onset and treatment, and what approach is used to treat the disease. Contents [ hide ]1 Signs and symptoms1.1 General Cases1.2 Advanced Cases2 Causes3 Diagnosis3.1 Radiological Diagnosis4 Treatment4.1 Nonsurgical intervention4.2 Surgical intervention5 Prognosis6 See also7 References Signs and symptoms [ edit]The disease is known for its subtle onset in patients, and few symptoms characterize vertebral osteomyelitis. Correct diagnosis of the disease is often delayed for an average of six to twelve weeks due to such vague, ambiguous symptoms. [ 5]General Cases [ edit]General symptoms found in a cross-section of patients with vertebral osteomyelitis include fever, swelling at the infection site, weakness of the vertebral column and surrounding muscles, episodes of night sweats, and difficulty transitioning from a standing to a sitting position.

Impressed by Mc Cartney's ability to play and tune a guitar, Lennon soon asked Mc Cartney to join the Quarry Men. Mc Cartney accepted. Shortly after Mc Cartney joined the group, he began to recommend an old school friend to Lennon. Lennon refused to even audition this friend because he was only 14. However Lennon finally relented, and on February 6, 1958 (19 days short of his 15th birthday) he auditioned George Harrison. After playing Raunchy Harrison became the newest member of the group.

The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David \"\"Dai\"\" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales. The Iveys were the first group signed by the Beatles ' Apple label in 1968. The band renamed themselves Badfinger and in 1969 Griffiths left and was replaced by Molland. In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five years the band recorded five albums for Apple and toured extensively, before they became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution. Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: \"\" Come and Get It \"\" (written and produced by Paul Mc Cartney ), \"\" No Matter What \"\", \"\" Day After Day \"\" (produced by George Harrison ), [1] and \"\" Baby Blue \"\".

[ 2] Their song \"\" Without You \"\" has been recorded many times, including a Billboard number-one hit for Harry Nilsson and a UK number one by Mariah Carey. After Apple Records folded, Badfinger signed to Warner Bros. Records, but Polley's financial machinations resulted in internal friction that soon caused Ham to quit Badfinger, to be replaced by Bob Jackson on keyboard and guitar, then led to Ham rejoining and Molland leaving the band instead."

But for fans of early Bowie, look no further than the best box set of the year: Five Years 1969-1973. While the CD set is nice, the heavyweight vinyl box, which comes with a fantastic book chronicling the making of each of his albums from the star-making period covered here, is the way to go. \"\" Life On Mars,\"\" \"\"Ziggy Stardust,\"\" and \"\"Sorrow,\"\" plus some great live cuts and rarities, are all here.

Sutcliffe was never a skilled musician, having joined the group because of his friendship with John Lennon. Lennon convinced him to buy a bass guitar with the money he had made from the sale of one his paintings. He was very uncomfortable on stage and usually played with his back to the audience. He left the Beatles to pursue his career as an artist before they achieved their success, and died not long thereafter from a brain hemorrhage. It has been claimed that this was the result of a beating sustained in Liverpool while still a member of the group, but it is more likely to have been a hereditary condition. Paul Mc Cartney , previously one of three guitar players in the group, replaced Sutcliffe on bass. Sutcliffe's importance to the group came from his artistic rather than musical talent. He was the first to have a 'Beatles' haircut, and his sense of style, helped by his lover Astrid Kirchherr ."

Eric Clapton first met The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul Mc Cartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr) in December 1964 while Clapton was in The Yardbirds. The Yardbirds were one of the support acts for The Beatles Christmas Show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Over the next several years, Eric Clapton would form an abiding friendship with fellow guitarist, George Harrison. On 3 September 1968, Eric Clapton played on sessions for George Harrison's composition, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London. It is Clapton's most well-known guest recording session. At George's invitation, he recorded the lead guitar for the song. It appears on the band's double album, “The Beatles” (also known as “The White Album”). John Lennon never made it to the studio for that now-famous session, so technically, Eric never recorded with The Beatles as a complete unit. On the finished track, it’s George Harrison on vocals / guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Paul Mc Cartney on piano and bass (his bass parts were overdubbed later) and Ringo Starr on drums."

"text": "\"\"\"DON'T PASS ME BY\"\" (Richard Starkey)When The Beatles began their recording career, it was practically unheard of that every member of a pop band would be songwriters. In fact, it was quite customary at the time for recording artists to release music, especially singles, written by established songwriters who had already proven themselves. Such was the case in 1962 when George Martin highly recommended Mitch Murray's \"\"How Do You Do It\"\" for the groups' first single. The Beatles argued to release a song they wrote instead. They got their way, of course, resulting in every British single released during their career being an original composition, both a-sides and b-sides. The Beatles eventually earned the right to only include original compositions on their albums as well, which meant there was room for songs by band members other than the greatly prolific John Lennon and Paul Mc Cartney. George Harrison joined the fray before too long, his songwriting improving by leaps and bounds as he got more experience under his belt. But what about Ringo Starr? His popularity was immense, especially in America where a pseudo “ Ringo For President ” campaign took place. But could he write songs, allowing him to join in with his other band-mates in collecting songwriting royalties?“I used to wish that I could write songs like the others,” Ringo stated in the mid 60's. “"

"text": "The Beatles may now be thought of as squeaky clean, wholesome rockers that are a safe bet to play for all ages and sensibilities, but a closer look into their lyrics and legacy will probably make you think twice about that perception. Somehow “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?” wasn’t actually their most explicit moment ... The Huffington Post has done quite a few dives into The Beatles over the last year and here are a few of the more scandalous details that somehow still aren’t common knowledge.1. The Beatles purposely pronounce “Sie Liebt Dich,” the German version of “She Loves You,” incorrectly. This essentially makes the song “She Loves Dick. ”The Beatles recorded German versions of both “She Loves You” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand” in 1964. For “Sie Liebt Dich” the band completely mispronounced “dich” as “dick,” a mistake that seems suspicious since The Beatles spent years in Hamburg. Huff Post spoke with super fan Mike Brown, who has maintained arguably the most in-depth list of Beatles anomalies — What Goes On — since the ‘90s. “ Is that an intentional little joke? I think they probably knew, and just tried to slide it past the establishment,” he said. “"

"text": "Former Beatle Ringo Starr Claims the “Real” Paul Mc Cartney Died in 1966 and Was Replaced by Look-Alike Share 496K Tweet Beverly Hills | The former drummer of the Beatles, Ringo Starr, surprised the world this morning during an interview in his luxurious Californian residence when he admitted that the 45-year-old rumors about the alleged death of Paul Mc Cartney in 1966 were actually true. In an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Inquirer, Mr. Starr explained that the “real” Paul Mc Cartney had died in a car crash on November 9, 1966, after an argument during a Beatles’ recording session. To spare the public from grief, the Beatles replaced him with a man named William Shears Campbell, who was the winner of a Mc Cartney look-alike contest and who happened to have the same kind of jovial personality as Paul. “When Paul died, we all panicked!” claims Ringo, obviously very emotional. “ We didn’t know what to do, and Brian Epstein, our manager, suggested that we hire Billy Shears as a temporary solution. It was supposed to last only a week or two, but time went by and nobody seemed to notice, so we kept playing along. Billy turned out to be a pretty good musician and he was able to perform almost better than Paul. The only problem was that he couldn’t get along with John, at all. ”William Shears Campbell, better known as Billy Shears, does indeed “disappear” from records in 1966 and no traces of him can be found after Paul’s alleged death."

He was also the youngest of four children, born to Harold Harrison and Louise Harrison. Like his future band mates, Harrison was not born into wealth. Louise was largely a stay-at-home mom while her husband Harold drove a school bus for the Liverpool Institute, an acclaimed grammar school that George attended and where he first met a young classmate, Paul Mc Cartney. By his own admission, Harrison was not much of a student and what little interest he did have for his studies washed away with his discovery of the electric guitar and American rock-'n'-roll. There were a lot of harmonies in the Harrison household. He had a knack of sorts for it by age 12 or 13, while riding a bike around his neighborhood and hearing Elvis Presley 's \"\"Heartbreak Hotel\"\", playing from a nearby house. By the age of 14 George--who was a fan of such legends as , Harrison, who grew up in the likes of listening to such rock legends Carl Perkins, Little Richard and Buddy Holly --had purchased his first guitar and taught himself a few chords. Mc Cartney', who had recently joined up with another Liverpool teenager, John Lennon, in a skiffle group known as The Quarrymen, invited Harrison to see the band perform. Harrison and Lennon had a few things in common, such as the fact that they both attended Dovedale Primary School but didn't know each other."

Alcoholic beverages are often high in calories, and most provide no real nutrients. Alcohol contains more calories per ounce than carbohydrates or protein. When you combine alcoholic beverages with high-calorie foods, you may end up eating more than you would have if you had eaten those same foods while consuming a nonalcoholic beverage. If you do drink alcoholic beverages, choose wisely, as some are much lower in calories than others. Beer and Wine Beer and wine tend to have the lowest number of calories per ounce among alcoholic drinks. Light beers have the fewest calories, with many containing fewer than 100 calories for a 12-ounce bottle, although some contain almost as many calories as regular beer. Red and white wine are also relatively low in calories, with between 100 and 125 calories per 5-ounce glass. Regular beer contains about 140 to 200 calories per 12-ounce bottle."

Three meals a day (without snacks), means about 400 calories per meal. Obviously, you can have a light lunch or a light dinner and shift calories to different times. If you are talking the average lunch for an American, the Big Mac Extra Value Meal has about 1,140 calories. :-) For me, I eat around 1,500 per day... with snacks before and after my workout, I eat 700 calories combined for lunch and breakfast - shifting between the two, with 2 servings of whole grains, one lean meat, at least one dairy, 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables.

But the fight against the beer belly can be best fought with knowledge, and knowing how many calories are in the craft beer you drink is the first step in winning that battle!The issue of the caloric content of beer is a tricky one, and I’m amazed at just how much resistance there is to even discussing the issue. Based on comments to the few articles that we’ve found that dare tackle the subject there seems to still be a prevailing idea that beer is for men and only women count calories. This is sexist and insulting, and even if you’re not a “calorie counter” wouldn’t you like to know generally how much you are consuming? Until the calorie content of beer is required to be on the label (like just about every other food we consume in this country) it will always be a bit of a guessing game. Beer is deceptively high in calories, and while I would very rarely sit down to a king-sized snickers bar (about 450 calories) in an evening I’m quite happy to toss back a couple IPAs. However, a mid-alcohol IPA, say the 6.8% Sierra Nevada Celebration, has over 200 calories in a 12 ounce bottle. Suddenly those pints of Stone Ruination at happy-hour a few weeks ago don’t sound like such a great idea. Here’s a graphic showing a variety of beers and some indulgent snacks that are about equal in calories: There are two reasons for beer’s caloric content. Alcohol is, of course, the major contributor to calories in beer, and every gram of alcohol present contributes about 7 calories."

"text": "Wines With The Fewest Calories - A List from Lowest to Highest Written by Daisy Whitbread, MSc NFor those looking to lose weight, finding a wine low in calories can be a great way to meet their goals. The number of calories a wine contains is dependent on the alcohol content. The more the alcohol, the more the calories. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram, compared to carbs and protein which only provide 4 calories per gram. If a wine is low in alcohol but high in calories, then it is likely a sweet wine and the extra sugars are the reason why. A 5oz glass of wine will typically contain between 109-130 calories. A simple trick to find how many calories 5oz of wine contains is to take the percent alcohol and multiply it by 12. Thus a wine that is 10% alcohol by volume (ABV) will contain about 120 calories per 5oz (150ml) glass. A glass of wine = 5 oz (150ml) a little more than a quarter of a bottle of beer, and a little less than half a 12oz can of soda. A bottle of wine is equal to 25 oz. ("

Before you do that, check out the stats on some of the most popular types of fuel. Goos & Gels Energy gels or goos contain a high concentration of sugar, carbs and electrolytes. They require no chewing—which can be pretty difficult when you’re trying to hit a new personal record. With flavors from chocolate cherry to key lime, there’s something for every runner.

"text": "Would it surprise you to know Coors light and Heineken have exactly the same calories and carbs? Shown here is the sugar and calorie content in popular beers, stout and ciders. If like me, you like to drink alcohol you’ll be interested to see the results I found. All beers, stouts and ciders were unfortunately high in calories & some were also high in carbs too. A pint of beer has between 210 & 240kcals, similar to a mars bar (244kcals). I’m not here to talk about the rights and wrongs or damage alcohol causes, you’re an adult and that’s for you to decide. I’m just hoping to help people make more informed choices about what they drink and in what quantity. Like most things in moderation, they are ok for most people. However, for someone wishing to lose weight it would decrease your chances of losing weight, if you choose to drink any beer, stout or cider to excess. For example:6 bottles of Heineken have 714 calories & 54g of carbs (18x 3g sugar sachets you’ll know from coffee shops).6 pints of Budweiser has 1398 kcals & 102g of sugar (34 sugar sachets).10 pints of Bulmers cider is 2100 kcals & 230g of sugar (77 sugar sachets)."

A 30-pack of Keystone is normally about twelve to fifteen dollars, so quantity is never a problem. It has 4.7 percent alcohol by volume and 104 calories per can.

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Ounce for ounce, the beer has fewer calories than the vodka or gin. But you do not drink them ounce for ounce. For a 12 ounce beer, you probably drink 2 ounces of vodka. The tonic without any sugar does not have calories. The ratio is about 1/6th as much. And you drink about 6 times the amount of beer to vodka, so they come out the same.

By Elaine Magee, RDThe Web MD Health Exchange Talk about fast food fish in the Food and Cooking Exchange Several fast food chains have jumped on the fish-is-good-for-you bandwagon and now offer fish sandwiches on their menu. Of course, they are still breaded and fried – what did you expect from fast food? But which one is the lowest in calories and total fat and which one contains more than two times the trans fat recommended in a day? In search of the most healthful fish sandwich, I collected nutrition information from the chains I know sell a fish sandwich. If the chain offered nutrition information without the tartar sauce, that’s what I used. Just scraping off the tartar sauce (or ordering it without the sauce) often cut the total fat and saturated fat in half and shaved off a couple of hundred milligrams of sodium as well. If you can add lettuce, onion and/or tomato to your sandwich, do it! They will add nutrients, flavor and texture with almost no added calories or sodium. Now for the results."

"text": "Dan Niko, Fitness Author/Expert Answered Nov 14, 2012 · Author has 60 answers and 223.4k answer views Alcohol does impact on weight loss but not as much as you may think. Simply put, alcohol is fermented sugar called ethyl alcohol or ethanol. No matter what type of alcohol you consume, it all has the same effect on the body, however all alcohol is not created equal. The source of the sugar used to make the alcohol, determines the type of alcoholic drink produced and it’s calorie content. Take a look at this table and you can see the massive calorie difference between some of the more common alcoholic drinks: • Full Strength Beer (375ml) – 140 calories • Mid Strength Beer (375ml) – 130 calories • Light Beer (375ml) – 105 calories • Spirits (30ml) – 65 calories • Wine (240ml) – 120 calories • Wine Cooler (250ml) – 135 calories • Liqueurs (30ml) – 100 calories There are a lot of variables when it comes to weight loss, fundamentally weight loss is a process of creating a calorie deficit in your body by consuming less calories than your body requires to function. Once you create a calorie deficit, your body calls on stored energy (fat) to meet your energy requirements. For more information on creating a calorie deficit to lose weight have a look at this article in my site http://www.noexcusefitness.com.a... Problem # 1 As you can see from the table above the odd alcoholic drink here or there is not going to have a great effect on your overall calorie intake. Having a glass of wine or a beer is going to add about 120-140 extra calories to your daily intake total. Those extra 120-140 calories, are less than most poor food choices, in fact most alcoholic drinks contain less calories than a large latte which can contain up to 170 calories. Rarely does a person only have 1 drink."

Consequences Of A Ruptured Bowel The consequences of a ruptured bowel can be very serious. Surgery is required urgently to repair the rupture and also to clean out the abdomen of any of the leaked materials.

Acute means it starts suddenly. Appendicitis usually develops without warning over a period of 6-12 hours. An appendectomy is usually performed to prevent rupture of an inflamed appendix, and is often done as emergency surgery. Emergency surgeries are urgent and life saving. If the appendix bursts, there is an overwhelming risk of infection and complications. If there is no evidence of rupture, most appendectomies are done laparoscopically.

It is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that has some similarity to Crohn's disease. The colon, or large intestine, removes nutrients form undigested food and gets rid of waste products through the rectum and anus when we pass feces. In ulcerative colitis, the colon becomes inflamed. In severe cases, ulcers form on the lining of the colon. The ulcers sometimes bleed and produce pus and mucus. According to a study published in the American Family Physician, ulcerative colitis affects between 250,000 and 500,000 people in the United States, with an annual incidence of 2 to 7 per 100,000 persons. The rectum is the end of the colon. It is always involved in ulcerative colitis. If the inflammation is only in the rectum, the disease is called ulcerative proctitis."

"text": "Bright Red Blood In Stool Causes You may have rectal bleeding or hematochezia, a condition wherein bright red blood passes through the anus, often mixed with feces and or blood clots. The condition is called rectal bleeding since the rectum (the last 15 cm of the colon or large intestine) lies just above the anus. However, the blood could not only originate from the rectum but can also come from other parts of the gastrointestinal system such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and the large intestine. The color of blood in your stool can indicate where the bleeding occur in your gastrointestinal tract. If your stool has bright red blood, it indicates that the bleeding occur within the anus, rectal area, or the sigmoid colon (part of the large intestine closest to the rectum). On the other hand, if your stool has black, tarry (sticky), and foul smelling blood, it indicates that the bleeding occur in the upper digestive tract consisting of the right colon, stomach, and the esophagus. The blood turned black and smelly because it stayed long enough in the digestive tract to be acted upon by bacteria. The tarry stool is called melena, produced by bacterial breakdown of blood cells. Small or mild amount of bright red blood in your stool (a spoon or two) is not dangerous but you should report it to your doctor to get treatment advice. Rectal bleeding becomes dangerous if you pass several bowel movements or a single bowel movement containing a large amount of blood; this can cause a decrease of blood pressure that could lead to a fatal medical shock."

Solid food, fluids and other ingested items enter a dog’s digestive tract through its mouth. The processes of chewing, together with the secretion of saliva from the salivary glands into the mouth, are the first mechanisms that physically start breaking food down into digestible pieces. After the dog swallows whatever it has taken into its mouth , the material passes over its tongue, through its throat, down its esophagus and into its stomach where gastric acid and other secretions help to further break down food into more absorbable pieces. Eventually, if things are working properly, the ingesta – the swallowed food - moves out of the stomach into the small intestine, where most of the absorption of nutrients occurs. Reabsorption of water primarily takes place in the large intestine. Finally, formed feces pass through the rectum and out the anus. The outlet portal from the stomach to the small intestine is called the “pylorus,” or the “pyloric canal.” The pylorus is smaller in diameter than the inlet into the stomach from the tube-like esophagus. It is this anatomical feature that makes it possible for a dog to swallow something quite large, which can get into but not out of its stomach."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Colic in horses is defined as abdominal pain, but it is a clinical sign rather than a diagnosis. The term colic can encompass all forms of gastrointestinal conditions which cause pain as well as other causes of abdominal pain not involving the gastrointestinal tract. The most common forms of colic are gastrointestinal in nature and are most often related to colonic disturbance. There are a variety of different causes of colic, some of which can prove fatal without surgical intervention. Colic surgery is usually an expensive procedure as it is major abdominal surgery, often with intensive aftercare. Among domesticated horses, colic is the leading cause of premature death. [ 1] The incidence of colic in the general horse population has been estimated between 4 [1] and 10 [2] percent over the course of their lifetime.

Share Email Print Feedback Background Acute abdomen, as it presents with pregnancy, has many possible causes. Clearly, the case of a pregnant patient with acute abdomen is a clinical scenario that overlaps specialties. Do not hesitate to involve a surgeon, obstetrician/gynecologist, and a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine when dealing with this challenging situation. As defined in the 27th edition of Stedman's Medical Dictionary, acute abdomen is \"\"any serious acute intra-abdominal condition attended by pain, tenderness, and muscular rigidity, and for which emergency surgery must be considered. \"\" Any cause for acute abdomen can occur coincident with pregnancy. Some clinical conditions are more likely to occur in pregnancy. Other conditions are specific to pregnancy. Thus, a wide range of possible differential diagnoses should be considered. Diagnostic considerations The approach to pregnant patients with severe abdominal pain is very similar to that for nonpregnant patients with acute abdomen. However, the physiologic changes associated with pregnancy must be considered when interpreting findings from the history and physical examination."

"text": "What is Abdominal Pain? The abdomen is an anatomical area that is bounded by the lower margin of the ribs and diaphragm above, the pelvic bone (pubic ramus) below, and the flanks on each side. Although abdominal pain can arise from the tissues of the abdominal wall that surround the abdominal cavity (such as the skin and abdominal wall muscles), the term abdominal pain generally is used to describe pain originating from organs within the abdominal cavity. Organs of the abdomen include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. Abdominal pain can range in intensity from a mild stomach ache to severe acute pain. The pain is often nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of conditions. What Causes Abdominal Pain? Abdominal pain is caused by inflammation (for example, appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis), by stretching or distention of an organ (for example, obstruction of the intestine, blockage of a bile duct by gallstones, swelling of the liver with hepatitis ), or by loss of the supply of blood to an organ (for example, ischemic colitis). To complicate matters, however, abdominal pain also can occur for unclear reasons without inflammation, distention, or loss of blood supply. An important example of this latter type of pain is the irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS )."

Biliary colic is the most common symptom of gallstones, but it is usually a self-limiting symptom. There are, however, more serious complications of gallstones. Cholecystitis Cholecystitis means inflammation of the gallbladder. Like biliary colic, it too is caused by sudden obstruction of the ducts by a gallstone, usually the cystic duct. With cholecystitis, there is constant pain in the right upper abdomen. Inflammation extends through the wall of the gallbladder, and the right upper abdomen becomes particularly tender when it is pushed or even tapped. Unlike with biliary colic, however, it is painful to move. People with cholecystitis usually lie still. There is fever, and the white blood cell count is elevated, both signs of inflammation."

FACLM on April 20th, 2017How might we reduce our exposure to pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables? What about staying away from imported produce? Well, it turns out domestic produce may be even worse, dispelling the notion that imported fruits and vegetables pose greater potential health risks to consumers. Buying organic dramatically reduces dietary exposure to pesticides, but it does not eliminate the potential risk. Pesticide residues are detectable in about one in ten organic crop samples, due to cross-contamination from neighboring fields, the continued presence of very persistent pesticides like DDT in the soil, and accidental or fraudulent use. By choosing organic, one hopes to shift exposures from a range of uncertain risk to more of a range of negligible risk, but even if all we had to eat were the most pesticide-laden of conventional produce, there is a clear consensus in the scientific community that the health benefits from consuming fruits and vegetables outweigh any potential risks from pesticide residues. And, we can easily reduce whatever risk there is by rinsing our fruits and vegetables under running water. There is, however, a plethora of products alleged by advertisers to reduce fruit and produce pesticide residues more effectively than water and touted to concerned consumers. For example, Procter & Gamble introduced a fruit and vegetable wash. As part of the introduction, T. G. I.

In his book The Dakota Diet: Health Secrets from the Great Plains, Dr. Kevin Weiland describes the amazing health and vitality of these people groups in the 19th century. One of the measures of health that researchers often use is the average height of people in a civilization. The average Native American stood around five feet eight inches in height.

One way of preventing an adhesion-related bowel obstruction surgery is Clear Passage, a manual physical therapy that uses no surgery or drugs. . Adhesions are bands of internal scar tissue that form after a surgery, trauma, infection or inflammation; there is no way of preventing adhesion formation as the body heals from these events. Clearing an existing obstruction and preventing re-obstruction requires decreasing the adhesions. You should seek immediate medical care as soon as you begin experiencing symptoms of an obstruction. There are also steps you can take, in conjunction with the care provided by your medical team, to manage a partial obstruction and reduce your chances of developing a complete obstruction. How to Prevent Complete Bowel Obstruction Through Dietary Changes You will want to either minimize or completely eliminate fiber from your diet, depending on the severity of your obstruction. Dietary fiber is the edible component of plant foods that humans are unable to digest. Reducing fiber intake limits the amount of undigested material that passes through the large intestine, which decreases bowel movements and helps to ease other symptoms such as abdominal pain.

With Crohn's disease, the small intestine can be inflamed, making it hard to digest and absorb key nutrients from food. The lack of sufficient nutrients, along with a poor appetite, can lead to malnutrition. There is no evidence to confirm that diet plays a role in Crohn's disease, but seek medical advice about dietary changes that may help. While eliminating some foods may be beneficial, it is important to still eat regular meals and have a healthy, balanced diet to ensure the body gets the nutrients it needs. Which foods should I avoid with a Crohn's disease diet plan? The foods that trigger symptoms differ for each person with Crohn's disease. To know which foods to leave out of your diet plan, you'll need to determine which foods trigger yours. Keeping a symptom diary can help identify trigger foods.

A low-fiber diet reduces the amount of undigested food moving through your bowels, so that your body makes a smaller amount of stool. A low-fiber diet may be suggested after some types of surgery or if you have diarrhea, cramping, or trouble digesting food. There are 2 kinds of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve in the stomach and can have rough hard bits that irritate the intestines as it passes through. Soluble fiber attracts water into the intestines and becomes a gel. Foods with a little soluble fiber can often be eaten in small amounts (depending on why you’re on a low-fiber diet) because the soft fiber gel doesn’t irritate the intestines the same way.

Learning to avoid these food triggers may allow you to self-manage your Crohn's disease, reduce gastrointestinal symptoms, and promote intestinal healing. What is Crohn's disease? Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Both involve an immune reaction against the intestinal tract. In ulcerative colitis, the colon is inflamed and the small intestine works normally. With Crohn's disease, often the small intestine is inflamed, making it hard to digest and absorb key nutrients from food. The lack of sufficient nutrients, along with a poor appetite, can lead to malnutrition for people with Crohn's disease. That malnutrition may result from alterations in taste, reduced food or nutrient intake, lack of sufficient nutrients, poor absorption, or the inflammatory bowel disease process itself.

Its nutritional content supports healthful skin, weight loss, and heart health. Despite the popularity of tomatoes, it was only 200 years ago that they were thought to be poisonous in the United States (U. S.) This is likely to be because the plant belongs to the toxic nightshade family. Tomatoes are now the fourth most popular fresh-market vegetable behind potatoes, lettuce, and onions. This article will examine their powerful health benefits, nutritional content, ways to include more tomatoes in the diet, and the risks of tomato consumption. Fast facts on tomatoes Including tomatoes in the diet can help protect against cancer, maintain healthy blood pressure, and reduce blood glucose in people with diabetes. Tomatoes contain key carotenoids such as lutein and lycopene. These can protect the eye against light-induced damage. Eat more tomatoes by adding them to wraps or sandwiches, sauces, or salsas. Alternatively, eat them cooked or stewed, as these preparation methods can boost the availability of key nutrients."

"text": "Colonoscopy Prep Dietby LYNETTE HINGLE Aug. 14, 2017If your doctor has ordered you to undergo a colonoscopy so she can better determine the health of your rectum and colon, she will probably also advise you to follow a colonoscopy prep diet to help you clean out your bowels before the exam. A colonoscopy prep diet is a special diet that you eat for a specific period of time before your exam to help your body release fecal matter and residue from your intestines and rectum. Although specific guidelines exist for a colonoscopy prep diet, speak with your doctor so she can alter the plan to ensure that your individual dietary needs are met throughout the diet. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Identification A colonoscopy is a medical examination used to detect abnormalities in your rectum or colon, such as abnormal pre-cancerous or cancerous growths, ulcers and inflamed tissue. A colonoscopy prep diet is a pre-treatment regimen used to empty fecal matter and residue out of your colon and rectum to ensure that the medical professional performing your colonoscopy has an unobstructed view of your rectum and colon during the exam, according to the Mayo Clinic. Recommended Prep Diet Foods You should begin to eat light foods such as eggs, clear soups, skinless potatoes, steamed white fish, cheese and skinless chicken three to four days before your exam, according to the Colon Cancer Resource Center. Then, the day before your exam, you should eat a light breakfast such as toast and eggs, and then begin an all-liquid diet for the rest of the day. The recommended liquids that you should drink that day include water, strained fruit juices, clear soup broths such as chicken broth, vegetable broth or fish broth, ginger ale and sports drinks such as Gatorade. Foods to Avoid You should avoid foods with red dyes and liquids, such as red gelatin desserts, red fruit juices and red soft drinks. The red dye in these foods and beverages can show up as blood during your colonoscopy, which could give your doctor erroneous information while she is determining the results of the examination, warns the Mayo Clinic."

"text": "\"A deferred prosecution agreement ( DPA ), which is very similar to a non-prosecution agreement ( NPA ), [1] is a voluntary alternative to adjudication in which a prosecutor agrees to grant amnesty in exchange for the defendant agreeing to fulfill certain requirements. A case of corporate fraud, for instance, might be settled by means of a deferred-prosecution agreement in which the defendant agrees to pay fines, implement corporate reforms, and fully cooperate with the investigation. Fulfillment of the specified requirements will then result in dismissal of the charges. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 United States2 See also3 References4 External links United States [ edit]Since 1999, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has set forth guidelines concerning the prosecution of business organizations and corporations. [ 3] The United States Attorneys' Manual (USAM) of the DOJ allows consideration of non-prosecution or deferred prosecution of corporate criminal offenses because of collateral consequences and discusses plea agreements, deferred prosecution agreements, and non-prosecution agreements in general. [ 4] [5] Under the U. S. Sentencing Guidelines, a past deferred prosecution will not count toward a defendant's criminal history, if there was no finding of guilt by a court and the defendant did not plead guilty or otherwise admit guilt in open court. This is in contrast to a deferred disposition, which typically does involve such a finding or admission. [ 6]According to Rachel Barkow and Anthony Barkow of NYU Law School, [7] there has been a dramatic increase in the use of DPAs and NPAs by federal prosecutors, increasing from 11 instances between 1993 and 2001, to 23 between 2002 and 2005, to 66 between 2006 and 2008. This kind of regulation-by-prosecutor has also occurred at the state level, for example at the New York Attorney General’s Office under Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo.

"text": "\"by Tyler Durden Wed, 12/05/2012 - 16:58Forget the perfectly anticipated Greek (selective) default. This is the real deal. The FT just released a blockbuster that Europe's most important and significant bank, Deutsche Bank, hid $12 billion in losses during the financial crisis, helping the bank avoid a government bail-out, according to three former bank employees who filed complaints to US regulators. US regulators, whose chief of enforcement currently was none other than the General Counsel of Deutsche Bank at the time!From the FT: The three complaints, made to regulators including the US Securities and Exchange Commission, claim that Deutsche misvalued a giant position in derivatives structures known as leveraged super senior trades, according to people familiar with the complaints. All three allege that if Deutsche had accounted properly for its positions – worth $130bn on a notional level – its capital would have fallen to dangerous levels during the financial crisis and it might have required a government bail-out to survive. Instead, they allege, the bank’s traders – with the knowledge of senior executives – avoided recording “mark-to-market”, or paper, losses during the unprecedented turmoil in credit markets in 2007-2009. Two of the former employees allege that Deutsche mismarked the value of insurance provided in 2009 by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway on some of the positions. The existence of these arrangements has not been previously disclosed. Naturally, DB is defending itself in the only way it knows: \"\"this is complicated stuff, and we know better than those guys.\"\" In other words, this is just a \"\" tempest in a teapot. \"\""

"text": "School Attendance School attendance is compulsory. Should a student have habitual absences, they are truant. The compulsory attendance law requires that schools maintain records verifying the notifiation not only for compliance with the madates, but for possible legal enforcement of the compulsory education laws. Definition of a Truant The California Legislature defined a truant in very precise language. In summary, it states that a student missing more than 30 minutes of instruction without an excuse three times during the school year must be classified as a truant and reported to the proper school authority. This classification and referral helps emphasize the importance of school attendance and is intended to help minimize interference with instruction. The California Education Code ( EC) Section that defines a truant reads as follows: EC Section 48260 (a): Any pupil subject to compulsory full-time education or compulsory continuation education who is absent from school without a valid excuse three full days or tardy or absent more than any 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, is a truant and shall be reported to the attendance supervisor or the superintendent of the school district. Definition of a Chronic Truant Effective January 1, 2011, EC Section 48263.6: Any pupil subject to compulsory full-time education or to compulsory continuation education who is absent from school without a valid excuse for ten percent or more of the school days in one school year, from the date of enrollment to the current date, is deemed a chronic truant, provided that the appropriate school district officer or employee has complied with EC sections 48260, 48260.5, 48261, 48262, 48263, and 48291. First Notification Mandate In addition to the reporting requirement, the law states that the school district must notify the parent or guardian of the truant by the most cost-effective method possible, and that the notification must include specific information related to the student's unexcused absences. The EC Section regarding notification reads as follows: EC Section 48260.5: Upon a pupil's initial classification as a truant, the school district shall notify the pupil's parent or guardian, by using the most cost-effective method possible, which may include electronic mail or a telephone call: (a) That the pupil is a truant.

"text": "Deferred Prosecution Law and Legal Definition Deferred Prosecutions are basically informal agreements between the defense lawyer, the defendant, and the prosecutor to dismiss a case up front, that is, in advance of the accused agreeing to some concessions. Depending on the circumstances, a misdemeanor prosecutor might choose to offer a deferred prosecution after a case has been filed against the defendant. Some of the circumstances that affect this decision include: difficulty in proving the case, the defendant’s lack of criminal history, e.t.c. With a deferred prosecution agreement, the defendant must admit his/her guilt, waive the same constitutional rights as s/he would if s/he were pleading guilty before a judge, agree to specific written terms of the agreement (including counseling, community service hours, etc.) and promise not to break any law more serious than a speeding ticket. If the defendant breaks this agreement, the County Attorney can refile the original case and already has the defendant’s confession in his refiled case.

The third incarnation of the draft came into being in 1940 through the Selective Training and Service Act. It was the country's first peacetime draft. [ 1] From 1940 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means. The draft came to an end when the United States Armed Forces moved to an all-volunteer military force. However, the Selective Service System remains in place as a contingency plan; all male civilians between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register so that a draft can be readily resumed if needed.

The first part of the article describes the branch-office role, tracing its development back to the 1970s, and shows how it has come to be routine for public corporations to assist prosecutors in their investigations. The second part discusses the implications of this shift in institutional role. The article first argues that the public corporation's branch-office role is likely to be durable because it benefits both corporations and prosecutors, effectively exploiting the misalignment of interests between the corporation and its employees and providing substantial efficiency gains to prosecutors. The article next examines the effect of this new role on legal rules, arguing that the protections of the corporate attorney-client privilege should not be increased nor constitutional constraints imposed when the corporation is acting in its branch-office role. The article then examines the potential effect of the new role on prosecutors' willingness to bring criminal charges against corporations and, ultimately, on deterrence in business crime cases. The article argues that the danger of this new role lies primarily in these areas. The new branch-office role, with its tools of amnesty, agreements not to prosecute, and agreements to defer prosecution, provides a middle ground for prosecutors between declination and prosecution."

"text": "\"We post this notice to advise the public of a criminal action, United States v. General Motors Company, initiated September 17, 2015, following the filing of a Notice of Intent to File an Information. The criminal action relates to a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “Agreement”) that General Motors Company (“GM”) has entered into with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, in connection with GM’s failure to disclose, from the spring of 2012 through February 2014, to its U. S. regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), a deadly safety defect in its vehicles, and GM’s misleading consumers about that same defect. The defect at issue is a low-torque ignition switch installed in many of the vehicles identified below, which, under certain circumstances, may move out of the “Run” position (the “Defective Switch”). If this movement occurs, the driver would lose the assistance of power steering and power brakes. And if a collision occurs while the switch is in the Accessory or Off position, the vehicle’s safety airbags may fail to deploy—increasing the risk of death and serious injury in certain types of crashes in which the airbag was otherwise designed to deploy. The model year cars which may have been equipped with the Defective Switch are the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt; the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Pontiac G5; the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Saturn Ion; the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet HHR; the 2007 Saturn Sky; and the 2006 and 2007 Pontiac Solstice. Pursuant to the Agreement, which is attached below, GM has agreed, among other things, to (a) waive indictment and consent to the filing of a two-count felony Information, charging GM with engaging in a scheme to conceal material facts from a Government regulator, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and committing wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343; (b) accept responsibility by, among other things, expressly acknowledging the accuracy of a detailed Statement of Facts that is incorporated into the Agreement; (c) forfeit $900 million; (d) refrain from future criminal conduct and cooperate fully with the Government; and (e) retain a monitor to review and assess (i) the efficacy of GM’s current policies, practices, and procedures in ensuring that GM corrects prior statements and assurances concerning motor vehicle safety; (ii) the effectiveness of GM’s current policies, practices, or procedures for sharing allegations and engineering analyses associated with lawsuits and not-in-suit matters with those responsible for recall decisions; (iii) GM’s current compliance with its stated recall processes; and (iv) and assess the adequacy of GM’s current procedures for addressing known defects in certified pre-owned vehicles. In exchange, the Government has agreed to defer prosecution on the Information for a period of three years, after which time – assuming that GM complies in all respects with the Agreement – the Government will seek to dismiss the charges. October 29, 2015, Update—Appointment of Monitor On October 28, 2015, Bart M. Schwartz was approved to serve as the General Motors (“GM”) Monitor on behalf of the Department of Justice. As set forth in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, the GM Monitor will review and assess the efficacy of GM’s current policies, practices, and procedures in ensuring that GM corrects prior statements and assurances concerning motor vehicle safety; the effectiveness of GM’s current policies, practices, or procedures for sharing allegations and engineering analyses associated with lawsuits and not-in-suit matters with those responsible for recall decisions; GM’s current compliance with its stated recall processes; and the adequacy of GM’s current procedures for addressing known defects in certified pre-owned vehicles."

"text": "Deferred Adjudication / Pretrial Diversion Certain types of offenses and offenders may qualify for programs that result in the dismissal of the case against the defendant upon completion of specified conditions. These programs go by several different names, but they all remove the defendant from the ordinary channels of prosecution so that the defendant may complete certain conditions. Once the defendant meets the conditions, either the prosecutor or the court will dismiss the charges. The goal of this sort of program is to allow the defendant time to rehabilitate themselves and demonstrate that they are capable of behaving responsibly. For so doing, the state rewards the defendant by dismissing the charges. These programs are typically used for drug or domestic offenses, or for first-time offenders. The conditions imposed typically include some form of counseling and/or probation, and require the defendant to demonstrate good conduct throughout the program. There are two types of these kinds of programs: those that require the defendant to first plead guilty to the charge and those that do not. The former type is usually known as deferred adjudication, while the latter category is generally known as pretrial diversion. Pretrial Diversion Pretrial diversion removes a defendant from prosecution prior to a guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) plea."

Employees (2008): 136 full-time civilians, 57 part-time civilian directors, 200 part-time reserve force officers (in peacetime), up to 10,830 part-time volunteers [1]Annual budget $24 million (FY 2012) [1]Agency executive Donald M. Benton, Director Website www .sss .gov The Selective Service System is an independent agency of the United States government that maintains information on those potentially subject to military conscription. Virtually all male U. S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 are required by law to have registered within 30 days of their 18th birthdays [2] [3] and must notify Selective Service within ten days of any changes to any of the information they provided on their registration cards, like a change of address. [ 4] A 2010 Government Accountability Office report estimated the registration rate at 92% with the names and addresses of over 16.2 million men on file. [ 1] [5] However, the only audit of the addresses of registrants on file with the Selective Service System, in 1982, found that 20–40% of the addresses on file with the Selective Service System for registrants in the age groups that would be drafted first were already outdated, and up to 75% for those registrants in their last year of potential eligibility to be drafted would be invalid. [ 6]Registration with Selective Service is also required for various federal programs and benefits, including Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), such as student loans and Pell Grants, job training, federal employment, and naturalization. [ 7]The Selective Service System provides the names of all registrants to the Joint Advertising Marketing Research & Studies ( JAMRS) program for inclusion in the JAMRS Consolidated Recruitment Database. The names are distributed to the Services for recruiting purposes on a quarterly basis. [ 8]Regulations are codified at Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter XVI.

"text": "Washington Deferred Prosecution Questions What is a deferred prosecution? A deferred prosecution, in Washington, is an agreement by the State not to prosecute a DUI in exchange for the defendant’s agreement to enter into and complete a two year intensive outpatient alcohol/drug/or mental health treatment program. There are several conditions placed on the defendant and the entirety of the agreement lasts five years. This is not a one size fits all option and should only be under taken after full consultation with a DUI lawyer and a complete understanding of what is expected of you. For more read, “ Is a Deferred Prosecution Right for You?”How much does a two year, deferred prosecution, treatment program cost? Treatment costs very from agency to agency. Typically costs of a two year outpatient treatment program run between $2,000.00-$5,000.00 depending on the agency. Many health insurance plans will cover a significant portion of the cost but not all agencies accept insurance. When being evaluated, be sure to ask if the agency accepts your insurance. What happens if I enter into a deferred prosecution and then change my mind?"

A person arrested for the first time has the opportunity to protect themselves during their criminal case, as well as, in their future if they know how to approach their case. By law, a first time retail theft arrest with a value under $300 is classified as a Class A misdemeanor and carries a punishment of up to a year in jail and a $2500 fine. If the value of the items taken is above $300, Illinois classifies the retail theft as a Class 4 felony punishable by 1-3 years in prison along with a fine of up to $25,000. Being prepared and having strong and informed representation can protect you from serious legal consequences. While each case is determined individually based on the facts and nature of the events, certain options are available to those arrested and charged with retail theft/shoplifting. Supervision Supervision is a sentence of “good behavior\"\" in which, if the defendant does not pick up new arrests or violate any other terms of the supervision, will result in a non-conviction on the defendant’s record. While receiving a sentence of supervision does avoid imprisonment and a conviction, the consequences of a sentence of supervision last far longer than the supervision itself. An individual who receives supervision must wait 5 years after the termination of the supervision to petition the court for an expungement or sealing of their record. Employers routinely perform background checks and an arrest of retail theft/shoplifting oftentimes eliminates applicants from employment."

Though less serious than felony offenses, misdemeanor charges can still result in hefty fines, terms of probation of up to two years, and even a lengthy term of incarceration in county jail. Under the Texas Penal Code, there are three types of misdemeanors, whose punishment range is as follows: Class “A” - Up to one year in jail and a fine up to $4,000Class “B” - Up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000Class “C” - No jail time, a fine up to $500In Texas, a misdemeanor is defined as any criminal offense for which a jail term of less than one year, and a fine less than $4,000, can be imposed. Class “A” and “B” misdemeanor charges arise when a document known as an “information” is filed with the county clerk’s office. Class “C” misdemeanors are initiated by the filing of a “complaint.” In Texas, jurisdiction for Class “A” and “B” misdemeanors lies in either a county criminal court or a county court-at-law. Class “C” misdemeanors are heard either in a municipal court or by a justice of the peace in justice court. If you or a loved one has been charged with a misdemeanor, call Berlof & Newton, P.

A background check often will be conducted when you apply for a job, mortgage, hard money loan, or to live in an apartment complex. If you apply for college or graduate school, you may have to disclose your criminal record. Getting Your Record Expunged Texas law allows you to clear an adult criminal record in certain circumstances. For example, if you were tried and found not-guilty, you can have all records of the arrest and prosecution expunged. Or if the court dismissed the charges against you, you can usually have the arrest record expunged. Furthermore, if you appeal your conviction and are acquitted by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, you can have the record expunged. In Texas, these procedures are known as Expunction. The only other way to clear a non-juvenile criminal record in Texas is called a petition for Non-Disclosure. A petition for non-disclosure is only available to those who have completed deferred adjudication probation."

The programs are often run by a police department, court, a district attorney 's office, or outside agency. [ 2]Problem-solving courts typically include a diversion component as part of their program. The purposes of diversion are generally thought to include relief to the courts, police department and probation office, better outcomes compared to direct involvement of the court system, and an opportunity for the offender to avoid prosecution by completing various requirements for the program. [ 3] These requirements may include: Education aimed at preventing future offenses by the offender Restitution to victims of the offense Completion of community service hours Avoiding situations for a specified period in the future that may lead to committing another such offense (such as contact with certain people) [3]Diversion programs often frame these requirements as an alternative to court or police involvement or, if these institutions are already involved, further prosecution. Successful completion of program requirements often will lead to a dropping or reduction of the charges while failure may bring back or heighten the penalties involved. Charges dismissed because of a diversion program will still lead to additional criminal history points under the US Sentencing Guidelines if there was a finding of guilt by a court or the defendant pleaded guilty or otherwise admitted guilt in open court, provided that the deferred disposition was not a juvenile matter.

"text": "\"Home > About NRC > Radiation Protection > Radiation and Its Health Effects > Radiation Basics Radiation Basics Radiation is energy given off by matter in the form of rays or high-speed particles. All matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are made up of various parts; the nucleus contains minute particles called protons and neutrons, and the atom's outer shell contains other particles called electrons. The nucleus carries a positive electrical charge, while the electrons carry a negative electrical charge. These forces within the atom work toward a strong, stable balance by getting rid of excess atomic energy ( radioactivity ). In that process, unstable nuclei may emit a quantity of energy, and this spontaneous emission is what we call radiation. For additional information, see the following topics on this page: Physical Forms of Radiation Radioactive Decay Nuclear Fission Ionizing Radiation Alpha Particles Beta Particles Gamma Rays and X-Rays Neutrons Physical Forms of Radiation As previously indicated, matter gives off energy (radiation) in two basic physical forms. One form of radiation is pure energy with no weight. This form of radiation — known as electromagnetic radiation — is like vibrating or pulsating rays or \"\"waves\"\" of electrical and magnetic energy. Familiar types of electromagnetic radiation include sunlight ( cosmic radiation ), x-rays, radar, and radio waves."

"text": "Radioactivity is the process whereby unstable atomic nuclei release energetic subatomic particles or electromagnetic radiation (EMR). This phenomenon can cause one element to turn into another and is partly responsible for the heat of the Earth’s core. Radioactivity has a wide range of uses, including nuclear power, in medicine, and in dating organic and geological samples. It is also potentially dangerous, as high-energy particles and radiation can damage and kill cells, and alter DNA, causing cancer. Radioactive Decay Unstable atomic nuclei are said to decay, meaning that they lose some of their mass or energy in order to reach a more stable, lower energy, state. This process is most often seen in the heavier elements, such as uranium. None of the elements heavier than lead has any stable isotopes, but lighter elements can also exist in unstable, radioactive, forms, such as carbon -14. It is thought that heat from the decay of radioactive elements maintains the very high temperature of the Earth’s core, keeping it in a liquid state, which is essential to the maintenance of the magnetic field that shields the planet from damaging radiation. Ad Radioactive decay is a random process, meaning that it is physically impossible to predict whether or not a given atomic nucleus will decay and emit radiation at any given moment. Instead, it is quantified by half-life, which is the period of time it takes for half of a given sample of nuclei to decay."

By means of Quantum Mechanical Model, proposed by Louis de Broglie and Erwin Schrodinger , the Electron Cloud has been postulated. Protons carry a positive charge, Neutrons are electrically “neutral”, Electrons carry a negative charge. Atoms in nature are electrically neutral so the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus equals the number of protons in the nucleus. Without neutrons, the nucleus would split apart because the positive protons would repel each other. Elements can have nucleii with different numbers of neutrons in them. For example hydrogen , which normally only has one proton in the nucleus, can have a neutron added to its nucleus to from deuterium , or have two neutrons added to create tritium , which is radioactive . Atoms of the same element which vary in neutron number are called isotopes . Power Point Presentation: Radiation is energy in transit in the form of high speed particles and electromagnetic waves ."

Beta minus decay happens when a neutron within an atom's nucleus transforms into a proton and an electron and an antineutrino are ejected out of the nucleus of an atom. For a beta plus decay a proton transforms to a neutron and a positron (similar to an electron but with a positive charge) and a neutrino are ejected out of the nucleus. Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize or remove electrons from an atom. There are two types of electromagnetic waves that can ionize atoms: X-rays and gamma-rays, and sometimes they have the same energy. Gamma radiation is produced by interactions within the nucleus, while X-rays are produced outside of the nucleus by electrons."

A material containing such unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Certain highly excited short-lived nuclear states can decay through neutron emission, or more rarely, proton emission. Radioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e. random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay, [1] [2] [3] regardless of how long the atom has existed. However, for a collection of atoms, the collection's expected decay rate is characterized in terms of their measured decay constants or half-lives."

"text": "Why is this chapter on half-life being presented? The purpose of this chapter is to explain the process of radioactive decay and its relationship to the concept of half-life. The primary intent is to demonstrate how the half-life of a radionuclide can be used in practical ways to “fingerprint” radioactive materials, to “date” organic materials, to estimate the age of the earth, and to optimize the medical benefits of radionuclide usage. What is meant by the “decay” of a radionuclide? Remember that a radionuclide represents an element with a particular combination of protons and neutrons (nucleons) in the nucleus of the atom. A radionuclide has an unstable combination of nucleons and emits radiation in the process of regaining stability. Reaching stability involves the process of radioactive decay. A decay, also known as a disintegration of a radioactive nuclide, entails a change from an unstable combination of neutrons and protons in the nucleus to a stable (or more stable) combination. The type of decay determines whether the ratio of neutrons to protons will increase or decrease to reach a more stable configuration. It also determines the type of radiation emitted."

"text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Reference: Facts About Uranium By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor | July 24, 2017 10:02pm ETMOREUranium ore Credit: Kletr | Shutterstock On August 6, 1945, a 10-foot-long (3 meters) bomb fell from the sky over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Less than a minute later, everything within a mile of the bomb's detonation was obliterated. A massive firestorm rapidly destroyed miles more, killing tens of thousands of people. This was the first-ever use of an atomic bomb in warfare, and it used one famous element to wreak its havoc: uranium. This radioactive metal is unique in that one of its isotopes, uranium-235, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction. ( An isotope is a version of the element with a differing number of neutrons in its nucleus. ) To understand uranium, it's important to understand radioactivity. Uranium is naturally radioactive: Its nucleus is unstable, so the element is in a constant state of decay, seeking a more stable arrangement. In fact, uranium was the element that made the discovery of radioactivity possible. In 1897, French physicist Henri Becquerel left some uranium salts on a photographic plate as part of some research on how light influenced these salts."

"text": "Radiation Chemistry Written by tutor Fatima I. Radiation chemistry involves the study of nuclear reactions. There are clear differences between a “chemical reaction,” and a “nuclear reaction:” a chemical reaction involves electrons of an atom (which orbit the nucleus), while a nuclear reaction involves a reaction within the nucleus of an atom (which consists of protons and neutrons). Marie Curie discovered “radioactivity,” which is the spontaneous disintegration of the unstable nuclei of some elements, or isotopes of elements, into more stable nuclei. Recall that isotopes are different forms of an element which contain the same number of protons as the element on the periodic table, but each isotope of the element contains a different number of neutrons (thus isotopes have varying mass numbers). Generally, all isotopes with an atomic number over 83 are considered radioactive. Because a great amount of energy holds the nucleus together, in a nuclear reaction, a great amount of energy is released as the nucleus is disintegrated: this energy is called the “binding energy.” The term “radiation” refers to the particles and energy that are released as a result of the radioactive reaction. It is important to note that in a radioactive reaction, as in almost all reactions, the law of conservation of mass applies, which means that the total mass BEFORE the reaction has to equal the total mass AFTER the reaction occurs. This concept is key in understanding radioactive reactions. To understand the notation of nuclear reactions, it is helpful to review what “mass number,” and “atomic number” refer to, and how they are represented along with the chemical symbol of an atom."

This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. Marie Curie's Study: The Discovery of Radium and Polonium /Radioactivity Who is Marie Curie? A Polish born French Chemist, with her French born husband Pierre Curie (1859-1906), Marie Curie (1867-1934) worked on radioactivity and in 1898 she reported the possible existence of a new, powerfully radioactive element in pitch blend ores. Her husband abandoned his own researches to assist her and discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium in the pure state in 1902. They both refused to take out a patient on their discoveries and were jointly awarded the Davy Medal in 1903. What's Radioactivity? Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of an unstable nucleus, by the emission of a small particle (i.e. an alpha-particle or a beta-particle) or by the change of the energy level of the nucleus by the emission of a gamma-ray. In other words, elements may change into another element naturally due to unstable nucleus. \"\" Radioactivity is an atomic property of matter and can provide a means of seeking new elements."

And for a very good reason: despite the existence of scarier diseases caused by exotic viruses like Hantavirus and Ebola, influenza still reigns as the number one infectious killer in modern times. Unlike regular seasonal epidemics of the flu, there are also rare but deadly pandemics, i.e. cases of influenza that spread on a worldwide scale and infect a large proportion of the human population. While it's important not to panic (the swine flu appears to be highly treatable with conventional antiviral drugs), a review of past pandemics will elucidate why authorities are responding quickly to this outbreak. Here's a quick summary of the 5 deadliest pandemics in history:1. The Peloponnesian War Pestilence The very first pandemic in recorded history was described by Thucydides. In 430 BC, during the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta, the Greek historian told of a great pestilence that wiped out over 30,000 of the citizens of Athens (roughly one to two thirds of all Athenians died). Thucydides described the disease as such \"\" People in good health were all of a sudden attacked by violent heats in the head, and redness and inflammation in the eyes, the inward parts, such as the throat or tongue, becoming bloody and emitting an unnatural and fetid breath. \"\" Next came coughing, diarrhea, spasms, and skin ulcers. A handful survived, but often without their fingers, sights, and even genitals ( Source)Until today, the disease that decimated ancient Athens has yet to be identified.2."

Plague is usually transmitted by flea bites. It was introduced into the United States from Asia through shipping ports in the late 1900s, and spread from there. It can now be found in small wild mammal populations in the western U. S. Q: What species are typically at risk for plague infection? A: Essentially all mammals are susceptible to plague. In the US we most often see wild rodents, lagomorphs such as cottontails and jackrabbits, and domestic pets such as cats and dogs with the disease. Wild and domestic felids that contract plague seem to experience high mortality, especially when they do not receive prompt antibiotic treatment. Q: How do people get plague? A: Humans usually contract plague from the bites of infected fleas."

Hulton Archives / Getty Imagesby Kallie Szczepanski Updated July 16, 2017The Black Death, a medieval pandemic that was likely the bubonic plague, is generally associated with Europe. This is not surprising since it killed an estimated one-third of the European population in the 14th century. However, the Bubonic Plague actually started in Asia and devastated many areas of that continent as well. Unfortunately, the course of the pandemic in Asia is not as thoroughly documented as it is for Europe — however, the Black Death does appear in records from across Asia in the 1330s and 1340s noting that the disease spread terror and destruction wherever it arose. Origins of the Black Death Many scholars believe that the bubonic plague began in north-western China, while others cite south-western China or the steppes of Central Asia. We do know that in 1331 an outbreak erupted in the Yuan Empire and may have hastened the end of Mongol rule over China. Three years later, the disease killed over 90 percent of the Hebei Province's populations with deaths totaling over 5 million people. As of 1200, China had a total population of more than 120 million, but a 1393 census found only 65 million Chinese surviving. Some of that missing population was killed by famine and upheaval in the transition from Yuan to Ming rule, but many millions died of bubonic plague."

Like smallpox and polio, most of us assumed that the plague had become the stuff of history books, the fodder for costume dramas. Not so, say disease control experts, who have begun to see a re-emergence of the disease in recent years. The first such outbreak took place in 1994 in India, which killed 56 people and hospitalized more than 600. Since then, the plague has been positively identified in the Democratic Republic of Congo (65 deaths in 2005), Madagascar (69 deaths in 2014 and 57 more in 2017), and even parts of the U. S (four deaths and 16 infections in 2015). As late as June 2017, two New Mexico natives were positively diagnosed with the plague, adding to the 600-plus infections expected globally by the year's end. Transmission Bubonic plague is a potentially fatal infection caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. The disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected rat flea ( Xenopsylla cheopis) which make its home on smaller rodents such as rats, field mice, and squirrels. Because the bacteria is harmless to fleas, it has the perfect vehicle by which to be carried directly from animals to humans. In addition to smaller rodents like chipmunks and prairie dogs, Yersinia pestis has been found in larger mammals including rabbits, opossum, wild coyotes, and even domestic dogs and cat that have come into contact with rodents."

Report abuse Transcript of The Wold of William Shakespeare Presentation- The Black Plague and Medication and Sanitation The World of William Shakespeare Medication, Sanitation and The Black Plague What was the Black Plague? Sanitation In the early 1500's Europe introduced a new system called cesspits/cesspools. These were introduced because the population of Europe was increasing at a more rapid rate than ever before and their previous form of using the toilet would not work because only the rich could afford indoor bathrooms and the poor would simply put their waste in a bucket and toss it out the window onto the streets. Most of the waste would decompose and occasionally the rich would pay someone to clean it up but this system was not working any longer. That being said, their new system (cesspits) was not much more sanitary. Cesspits are cylinders dug underground where people in Shakespeare's day put their waste. Cesspits were not cleaned out frequently which caused a lot of dangerous infections and the spread of Typhoid, even though cesspits were only emptied at night due to the smell and were emptied using shovels and horse-drawn wagons. How the Plague affected William Shakespeare The Black Plague affected Shakespeare in a number of ways. The biggest impact would be how it killed his only son Hamnet at age 11 ( there are other theories of how his son died but the plague seems to be the most popular explanation)."

Usually, the bacteria is spread through the bites of infected fleas or rodents. However, other animals can carry this bacteria, too, such as prairie dogs, lice, and chipmunks. Once infected, bubonic plague causes such symptoms as headaches, fever, and swollen, tender lymph glands. Bubonic Plague Causes: An Overview Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. Bubonic plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, also known as plague bacteria. This bacteria also causes the other two forms of plague: septicemic plague and pneumonic plague (see Types of Plague). Bubonic Plague Causes: Yersinia Pestis Yersinia pestis are Gram-negative bacteria found in certain parts of the world, primarily Africa, Asia, and South America. It causes about 1,000 to 3,000 plague cases each year. Between 10 to 20 of these cases are in the United States, most commonly in rural areas of the Southwest."

Joseph Hinnebusch, a microbiologist at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana. The new study suggests that North Africa could also be the source of the epidemic, he said. The bacteria-caused plague is more than a grim historical footnote today. The African island of Madagascar experienced outbreaks in the late 1990s, and some worry about the plague's potential use as an agent of bioterrorism. Information about past epidemics could help scientists predict where new outbreaks would occur and better understand how the disease spreads, Hinnebusch said."

The Black Death, also known as the Great Plague or simply Plague, or less commonly as the Black Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.

[ 4] The plague created a series of religious, social, and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history. The Black Death is thought to have originated in the dry plains of Central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343. [ 5] From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population.

[ 3]In this sense, the Western Hemisphere consists of the Americas, the western portions of Eurasia and Africa, the extreme eastern tip of Siberia ( Russia ), numerous territories in Oceania, and a portion of Antarctica, while excluding some of the Aleutian Islands to the southwest of the Alaskan mainland. In an effort to define the Western Hemisphere as the parts of the world which are not part of the Old World, there also exist projections which use the 20th meridian west and the diametrically opposed 160th meridian east to define the hemisphere.

The center of the Western Hemisphere is located in the Pacific Ocean at the intersection of the 90th meridian west and the Equator very close to the Galápagos Islands.

The armed power of the United States did not prevent minor enemy invasions of New World territory, as the Germans in Greenland and the Japanese in the Aleutians were to demonstrate. But its forces were strong enough by late 1941 to make a sustained attack on the hemisphere an unprofitable venture for hostile powers. The commitment to defend the whole hemisphere by force was a new departure in the military policy of the United States, although it was a natural outgrowth of American policy and practice under the Monroe Doctrine. It was also a natural extension of the primary mission of the armed forces defense of the homeland. For more than a century the possibility of a serious attack across continental land frontiers had been exceedingly remote, and until the late 1930's an effective attack by land-based air power was impracticable. Therefore, the Army had concentrated after World War I on protecting the continental United States against attack by sea and against coastal invasion backed by sea power. It was almost equally concerned with the defense of the Panama Canal Zone and Oahu, as the principal outlying bastions for continental defense. [ 3]By the late 1930's a rapid increase in the range and striking power of military aircraft introduced a new and potentially serious threat to New World security, a development that, coincided with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the secret and formidable preparation of the German nation for war."

The prime meridian at 0° longitude and the antimeridian, at 180° longitude, are the conventionally accepted boundaries, since they divide eastern longitudes from western longitudes. This convention was established (predominantly by Europeans and Americans) in 1884 at the International Meridian Conference held in Washington, D. C. where the standard time concepts of Canadian railroad engineer Sir Sandford Fleming were adopted. Using this demarcation puts portions of Western Europe, West Africa, Oceania, and extreme northeastern Russia in the Western Hemisphere, thereby diluting its usefulness as a geopolitical construct, since all of Eurasia and Africa are typically included in the Eastern Hemisphere. Consequently, the meridians of 20°W and the diametrically opposed 160°E are often used, [1] [2] which includes all of the European and African mainlands, but also includes a small portion of northeast Greenland (typically reckoned as part of North America) and excludes more of eastern Russia and Oceania (e.g., New Zealand ).

The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude at which longitude is defined to be 0°. All countries located to the east of the Prime Meridian ( 0° longitude) are in the Eastern Hemisphere, while countries west of the Prime Meridian ( 0° longitude) are in the Western Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian intersects eight (8) countries, ( shown to the left) and those countries are therefore in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. They Include: Algeria, Burkino Faso, Ghana, France, Mali, Spain, Togo, and the United Kingdon (UK)The 180th Meridian, on the opposite side of the planet, is the line of longitude at which longitude is defined to be 180°. All countries located to the east of the 180th Meridian ( 180° longitude) are in the Western Hemisphere, while countries west of the 180th Meridian ( 180° longitude) are in the Eastern Hemisphere. The 180th Meridian directly intersects four (4) countries, and those countries are therefore in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. They Include: Fiji, Kiribati, Russia, and the United States. NOTES: The far western end of Alaska's Aleutian Islands are disected by the 180th Meridian, thus putting the USA into both hemispheres."

At any given location in the world, you will be in two hemispheres at one time: either Northern or Southern and either Eastern or Western. For example, the United States is in both the Northern and Western Hemisphere. Australia, on the other hand, is in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres. Are You In the Northern or Southern Hemisphere? Determining whether you are in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere is easy. Simply ask yourself if the equator is to your north or to your south. The Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere are divided by the equator. All points of Earth that are north of the equator are in the Northern Hemisphere. This includes all of North America and Europe, along with most of Asia, northern South America, and northern Africa."

"text": "\"History of the United States America before colonial times For thousands of years, Indians were the only inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere. They had wandered into North America from Asia about 15,000 years ago. They spread across the hemisphere to the tip of South America. Probably about 6,000 years ago, the Inuit--another Asian people--moved to the Western Hemisphere. They soon spread eastward across the Arctic part of North America. They remained only in the far north, near the Arctic Circle. The Vikings were probably the first white people to reach America. A band of these venturesome seafarers is believed to have explored part of the east coast of North America about 1,000 years ago. However, the exploration and settlement of America by Europeans did not begin for another 500 years. Then, in 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed westward from Spain, seeking a short sea route to the Orient."

The usual objection to Orientalmeaning \"\"eastern\"\"is that it identifies Asian countries and peoples in terms of their location relative to Europe. However, this objection is not generally made of other Eurocentric terms such as Near and Middle Eastern. The real problem with Oriental is more likely its connotations stemming from an earlier era when Europeans viewed the regions east of the Mediterranean as exotic lands full of romance and intrigue, the home of despotic empires and inscrutable customs. At the least these associations can give Oriental a dated feel, and as a noun in contemporary contexts (as in the first Oriental to be elected from the district) it is now widely taken to be offensive. However, Oriental should not be thought of as an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. As with Asiatic, its use other than as an ethnonym, in phrases such as Oriental cuisine or Oriental medicine, is not usually considered objectionable."

In this lecture, we will examine the ocean currents and the reasons behind them. This will lead us on to consider the globally important phenomenon of El Nino. What Drives the Oceans? Temperature and Salt Content We saw in Lectures 1 and 2 that the atmospheric circulation is driven primarily by temperature differences across the globe, which sets up large convective systems, which are then modified by the Coriolis Force. The importance of convection in the atmosphere is because the atmosphere is a fluid heated from below. ( Recall that the main sources of energy to the atmosphere are longwave radiation and latent heating, both of which are most important near the earth's surface). Fluids which expand when heated (like air) will convect when heated from below. So, the atmosphere is heated from below, cooled from above (as energy is lost to space), and the atmosphere convects and circulates. The world's oceans, however, differ from the atmosphere in important ways."

After all, every schoolchild in America is taught that Hitler and his Nazi cohorts were the very epitome of evil. How could ordinary German citizens support people who were so obviously monstrous in nature? Standing against the Nazi tide was a remarkable group of young people known as the White Rose. Led by Hans and Sophie Scholl, a German brother and sister who were students at the University of Munich, the White Rose consisted of college students and a college professor who risked their lives to circulate anti-government pamphlets in the midst of World War II. Their arrest and trial was depicted in the German movie Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, which was recently released on DVD in the United States. Of all the essays on liberty I have written in the past 20 years, my favorite is \"\" The White Rose: A Lesson in Dissent \"\", which I am pleased to say was later reprinted in Voices of the Holocaust, an anthology on the Holocaust for high-school students. The story of the White Rose is the most remarkable case of courage I have ever come across. It even inspired me to visit the University of Munich a few years ago, where portions of the White Rose pamphlets have been permanently enshrined on bricks laid into a plaza at the entrance to the school. A contrast to the Scholl movie is another recent German movie, Downfall, which details Hitler's final days in the bunker, where he committed suicide near the end of the war."

"text": "The Courts and the New Deal By William L. Anderson October 25, 2005Part 1In the next few years of the George W. Bush administration, it is almost certain that there will be a number of contentious battles between Democrats and Republicans and between the White House and the U. S. Senate over certain federal court nominees. While the issues will appear to be substantive and far-reaching — and no doubt they are in the present-day United States — one needs to examine another perspective concerning the federal courts, one that demonstrates how far this country has drifted from its original moorings in liberty. Before the 20th century, the federal courts did not play much of a role in the daily lives of Americans. It is difficult to comprehend just how decentralized government power was in this country at one time, for even the structure of the various court systems ensured that the federal courts would not have much effect on the average person. That state of affairs no longer exists. While the state courts still handle the bulk of criminal cases and lawsuits, federal courts have grown both in the size and in the numbers of cases heard. A federal criminal code that once had three crimes (piracy, treason, and counterfeiting) now contains thousands, and it is no exaggeration to say that most Americans at one time or another have violated a federal law for which there are serious criminal penalties. The violations mostly are made in ignorance, and the size of the U. S. population relative to what the federal courts can handle means that the vast majority of people won’t be arrested or charged with anything. However, the huge numbers of potential federal “criminals” also mean that a large number of people who have no idea they have violated a federal law will be shocked to find themselves in the dock. On top of that, the civil dockets have metastasized, as the number of lawsuits filed in federal court by private individuals, businesses and corporations, and the government itself has expanded exponentially."

The gathering was organized by Fred I.

As the opening speaker, I was startled to find, when I went to the podium and looked out at the audience, that I was starting right into the eyes of H. R.

Cohen, who had first gone to Washington at a precocious age in Franklin Roosevelt's first term. Long before he became Secretary of HEW under Lyndon Johnson, authorities on the Welfare State were fond of saying that an expert on Social Security was someone who had Wilbur Cohen's phone number. Unhappily, he died the very next month. The proceedings of the conference, which were dedicated to Cohen, were published as Fred I.

"text": "\"Internationalism Warren F. Kuehl and Gary B. Ostrower Internationalism in American foreign policy has had different meanings for nearly every generation of citizens and diplomats. It has been associated with all forms of external contact with the world, the relationships becoming more extensive and political with the passage of time. As a foreign policy, it has usually been viewed as the antithesis of isolationism, and in that sense it has involved political commitments or \"\"entanglements\"\" through multinational treaties as well as membership in international organizations. In a broader context, it has also encompassed official and unofficial nonpolitical activities — economic, social, cultural, and scientific — usually evidenced through affiliation with specialized international societies or agencies. Some internationalists have thought in terms of a universal community, a broad brotherhood of people with common concerns, needs, and aspirations that exists as a reality beyond the confines of nation-states. In recent times, internationalism has taken on a new meaning under a doctrine of responsibility, with the United States assuming the burden of \"\"policeman of the world,\"\" both unilaterally and multilaterally. THE EARLY YEARSLong before isolationism became an established policy in the nineteenth century, citizens of the American colonies recognized that they could not live apart from the rest of the world. They existed within an imperial system that involved them in numerous crises and four world wars (Queen Anne's War, King William's War, King George's War, and the French and Indian War), mostly related to trade and territories. Early Americans understood that international law applied to them as they redefined their relationships toward their neighbors and their mother country. William Penn reflected the cosmopolitan atmosphere when he drafted his Essay Towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe (1693), in which he called for a congress of states to promote stability."

In 2006, James Mac Gregor Burns -- one of the best-regarded historians of modern U. S. history -- wrote an op-ed in the New York Times (\"\"No More Second-Term Blues \"\") about the 22nd amendment. Key excerpt: There was nothing in the original Constitution of 1787 that barred a third or fourth term for presidents. That was why Franklin Delano Roosevelt could run again in 1940 and 1944, becoming the only president to serve more than two terms. And that was why, three years later, in 1947, after sporadic public debate, Republicans demanded presidential term limits and changed the Constitution. With majorities in both chambers of Congress, Republicans, joined by Southern Democrats opposed to the New Deal, were able to push the 22nd Amendment through the House (after only two hours of debate!) and the Senate (after five days of debate). At the time, an amendment limiting presidents to two terms in office seemed an effective way to invalidate Roosevelt's legacy, to discredit this most progressive of presidents. In the House, one of the few Northern Democrats to vote with the majority was freshman representative John F. Kennedy, whose father had fallen out with Roosevelt. In the spring of 1947, as the historian David Kyvig noted, 18 state legislatures rushed to ratify the amendment, with virtually no public participation in the debate."

( New York Historical Society)Anna Rebecca Hall, born 17 March 1863, New York City, New York; married 1 December 1883, Calvary Church, New York; died 7 December 1892, New York City, New York. A popular debutante and prominent figure among the New York City social elite, Anna Hall Roosevelt often stood out in a crowd with her strikingly upright posture, a stance many attribute to her skill as a horsewoman. She was also unusually athletic and robust, excelling at tennis. By her era’s conventional standards, she was also considered to be physically beautiful and sometimes described as shallow and vain. Famously, she demeaned her only daughter’s sense of physical esteem by nicknaming the child “Granny,” because little Eleanor did not meet the mother’s expectation of physical beauty."

"text": "\"Theodore Roosevelt Richard M. Abrams THE administration of Theodore Roosevelt was in some respects the first modern presidency. It is with Roosevelt that the most distinctive twentieth-century characteristics of the executive office emerged as more or less permanent traits. Roosevelt put the presidency and the federal government at the center of peacetime political action. He made the White House a national focus for the social mood and did much to set the moral tone of his times. He exploited the president's powers as commander in chief to initiate a forceful, independent foreign policy, deploying military forces abroad without direct (or any) consultation with Congress. And he extended presidential initiatives in policymaking to the domestic scene on an unprecedented scale, putting forward reform proposals for congressional action and using executive orders to promote major innovative programs. Not all the traits that Roosevelt brought to the White House were admirable. There was sometimes as much truculence as confidence, as much belligerence as goodwill, and as much bravado as good sense. He set some dubious precedents in his bullying of small nations and in his sometimes casual regard for constitutional and international law. He did much to prod Americans to take up their responsibilities as a powerful nation to use their power for good internationally, even though it must be said that his own conception of \"\"good\"\" could not always meet a test for universal approval."

The USSR seemed to have benefited the most of the three nations. The articles shall be examined one by one while taking into consideration about who gains from each agreement. Stalin's gains This cartoon is critical of the generosity of the terms of the Yalta agreement for the Soviet Union. So the negotiations are depicted as a game of poker in which Stalin is easily winning. He is portrayed with a smug and satisfied expression while having already cleaned up on Europe (seen by how he has swept over all the “Europe” chips with one hand), and is just about to seize China and India with his other hand. Churchill’s expression can be seen as surprised while Roosevelt apparently indecisive and bemused."

Roosevelt, thirty-second president of the United States, led the nation out of the period of economic crisis known as the Great Depression (1929–39) and later into World War II (1939–45). Before he died, he cleared the way for peace, including the establishment of the United Nations. Youth and marriage Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882, into a well-known family. The Roosevelts had been fairly wealthy for many generations. The family had often been important in the civic affairs of New York. When Franklin was born, his father was fifty-one years old and his mother was twenty-eight. As his parents' only child, he did not have to compete with other siblings for their attention. Tutors and governesses (female, live-in teachers) educated him at home until he was fourteen. At this time he attended Groton School, which educated boys of the upper class. The young Roosevelt was thus surrounded by privilege and by a sense of social importance from an early age."

At various times a soldier, journalist, author, and politician, Churchill is generally regarded as one of the most important leaders in British and world history. Considered reactionary on some issues, such as granting independence to Britain's colonies and at times regarded as a self-promoter who changed political parties to further his career, it was his wartime leadership that earned him iconic status. Some of his peace-time decisions, such as restoring the Gold Standard in 1924, were disastrous as was his World War I decision to land troops on the Dardanelles. However, during 1940, when Britain alone opposed Hitler's Nazi Germany in the free world, his stirring speeches inspired, motivated, and uplifted a whole people during their darkest hour.

La Rouche, Jr. Here are Mr. La Rouche's opening remarks to a La Rouche in 2004 campaign event, in Queens, New York on June 29, 2003. I am going to address you today, on the subject—before you start addressing me, which will happen afterward—on the subject of World War II, Roosevelt's World War, and ours today. The similarity is twofold: First of all, Roosevelt was fighting a war against fascism, and I'll explain that to you. We are fighting a war, today, against fascism. In fact, it's exactly the same fascism, that Roosevelt fought against during World War II and before. I'll explain that to you. It is also a period like that of World War II, in which the danger of dictatorship, and world empires of that type, was threatened by the reaction of certain international financier circles, which I shall identify, to the fact of a general breakdown in the Versailles monetary-financial system. Today's danger of fascism, comes from the same people behind Hitler, some of whom are in the United States—not as living individuals, but as their descendants and heirs of the same nasty persuasion, gathered around people, in a sense, like Dick Cheney; the man whom I am proposing to have impeached promptly. Now, this involves the question of what is the crucial role of the United States, today, as then?"

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny. Franklin Delano Roosevelt ( 30 January 1882 – 12 April 1945 ), and and often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the President of the United States from 1933 to 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and dominated his party for many years as a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. His program for relief, recovery and reform, known as the New Deal, involved a great expansion of the role of the federal government in the economy. As a dominant leader of the Democratic Party, he built the New Deal Coalition that brought together and united labor unions, big city machines, white ethnics, African Americans, and rural white Southerners in support of the party. The Coalition significantly realigned American politics after 1932, creating the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century.

The first child of Anna Hall Roosevelt and Elliott Roosevelt, young Eleanor encountered disappointment early in life. Her father, mourning the death of his mother and fighting constant ill health, turned to alcohol for solace and was absent from home for long periods of time engaged in either business, pleasure or medical treatment. Anna Hall Roosevelt struggled to balance her disillusionment with her husband with her responsibilities toward Eleanor and Eleanor's younger brother, Hall. As the years passed, the young mother became increasingly disconsolate. An astute and observant child, Eleanor rarely failed to notice the tension between her parents and the strain that it placed on both of them. By the time she was six, Eleanor assumed some responsibility for her mother's happiness, recalling later in her autobiography This Is My Story that \"\"my mother suffered from very bad headaches, and I know now that life must have been hard and bitter and a very great strain on her. I would often sit at the head of her bed and stroke her head . . . for hours on end. \"\" Yet this intimacy was shortlived."

"text": "Report Political Process Theodore Roosevelt: Progressive Crusader September 24, 2012 19 min read Download Report Jean M. Yarbrough Senior Associate Fellow in African Affairs Gary M. Pendy Professor of Social Sciences at Bowdoin College Summary When he first arrived on the political scene in 1881 at the age of 23, Theodore Roosevelt gave no hint of the Progressive he would later become. In the various elective and appointive positions he held at the municipal, state, and federal levels during the 1880s and 1890s, Roosevelt considered himself nothing more (and nothing less) than an independent Republican reformer, following in the tradition of national-minded statesmen such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, and, of course, Abraham Lincoln. Key Takeaways As President, Roosevelt pushed executive powers to new limits, arguing that the rise of industrial capitalism had rendered limited government obsolete. Roosevelt’s stewardship theory unmoored presidential power from the Constitution and made it directly accountable to the people. Roosevelt continued until his death to press for Progressive reforms that would move the country closer to the social democracies of Europe. Copied Select a Section 1 /0Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States (1901–1909), was the youngest and arguably most energetic man ever to fill that office. Growing up in the Gilded Age, he regarded commercial ideals as “mean and sordid” and brought these sensibilities with him into public life. [ 1] A firm believer in what he called the manly virtues, he urged his countrymen to fight for the right. As President, he pushed executive powers to new limits, arguing that the rise of industrial capitalism had rendered limited government obsolete. He took on the captains of industry and argued for greater government control over the economy, pursuing a two-pronged strategy of antitrust prosecutions and regulatory control."

"text": "The rock star wives – then & now By Dana Lemon, Mar 8, 2017Next The rock genre which first came to life as ‘rock n roll’ in the U. S back in the 50’s, can be interpreted into so many different forms of music that it has become hard to tell what type of rock you’re listening to. We have alternative rock, pop rock, heavy metal, folk rock and even some jazz thrown in that whole music mashup. However, if there is one thing in common that this genre has always attracted is beautiful, drop-dead-gorgeous and totally rocky in their own way, women. Every great rock star in the history of music has either dated or married (and then remarried again and again) a beautiful woman who was either brave enough to be with the man or lucky enough to be calling herself Mrs. Rock Star. ADVERTISEMENTIt’s hard to tell what it is that attracts people to one another, it could be a bunch of different reasons from physical attraction to intellect and even smell. However, when it comes to being attracted to a rock legend, it’s pretty obvious what it is. It could be the edgy attitude, the offbeat style and the overall cool lifestyle. It could also be just about two nice people hoping to find love and one of them just happens to be a great performer. In any case, rock stars have always been considered the cooler part of the music world, and so it’s no surprise how the ladies would want to be part of their ethereal world. Sure, ‘rock n roll’ has also been synonymous to the less positive sides of life such as drugs, cheating and instability, but at the end of the day, even the grungiest men in the world are looking to find love."

Under the management of Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé's father, the group struggled to establish itself using a series of different names throughout the early 1990s. An unsuccessful appearance on Star Search, and a fruitless contract with Electra Records did not bode well for the girls' future, but in 1997, with the group now working under the name of Destiny's Child, Beyoncé's father finally managed to attract the interest of Columbia Records. The result was the platinum record Destiny's Child released in 1999. On the heels of this success followed several years of turmoil for Beyoncé and her bandmates. A growing resentment concerning what was perceived as preferential treatment by Mathew Knowles to his daughter resulted in a demand for his termination as manager of the group, and soon after singers Le Toya Luckett and La Tavia Roberson departed. Two replacements were found, but by 2000 Destiny's Child was down to the trio of Knowles, Rowland and Michelle Williams. Despite the personal hardships, the popularity of the group never waned, each successive album (1999's The Writings on the Wall and 2001's Survivor) becoming more popular than the last. In 2003 Beyoncé struck out on her own with Dangerously in Love, which featured collaborations with Missy Elliott, Jay-Z and Sean Paul, amongst numerous others. The album did not deviate from the pattern of increasing success that was established with Destiny's Child, and both it and its two singles Crazy in Love and Baby Boy earned #1 chart positions."

He remained a popular and enigmatic figure until his sudden death in 2016. Prince was originally known as a kind of eccentric genius: he dressed in high heels and outrageous finery and was so multitalented that on many songs he played all the instruments himself. He was an early star of MTV, with a user-friendly musical style that combined funk, rock and pop. The 1984 feature film Purple Rain, in which Prince played The Kid, a rock star very much like himself, took him to new heights of stardom. Prince's reputation for independent thinking was reinforced in the 1990s, when he changed his name to The Artist Formerly Known As Prince (or TAFKAP), then to an unpronounceable symbol -- reproduced on the internet as O (+> -- and finally (in 2000) back to Prince. He continued to write and perform, operating out of his Minneapolis home base, called Paisley Park Studios. His 2004 album, Musicology, was hailed as a \"\"comeback,\"\" and included the song \"\"Call My Name,\"\" which earned him a Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Prince was still in his forties when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. Prince's albums include 1999 (1983), Purple Rain (1984), Lovesexy (1988), Newpower Soul (1998), 3121 (2006), 20Ten (2010) and the two-part HITn RUN Phase One and HITn RUN Phase Two (2015)."

"text": "The Electra Complex: Symptoms and Treatment What is the Electra complex? What are the Electra complex symptoms? What are the methods of the Electra complex treatment? Read more in this thought-provoking article!Today we are going to discuss a very serious disorder which can ruin a woman’s life if it is not discovered in time or is improperly treated. I mean the Electra complex and its symptoms. The origin of the name of the Electra complex Greek myths are interesting not only for people who are fond of reading, but also for historians, literary critics, linguists and psychologists who have been studying Greek mythology for many years already. Probably, most of you have heard about the Oedipus complex (morbid attraction of the son to his mother), and its name also makes a reference to Greek myths. Thus, we can draw an analogy between the Oedipus complex and the Electra complex, which is the name of the morbid attraction of daughters to their fathers. It was introduced to the public at the beginning of the XX century by the famous psychologist Jung. This psychological disorder received its name from one of the Greek myths, the plot of which has been numerously used by the artists and writers."

Hilary Swank portrays her in the movie Amelia released October 23, 2009. Amelia Mary Earhart (pronounced /ˈɛərhɑrt/ AIR-hart); (born July 24, 1897; missing July 2, 1937; declared legally dead January 5, 1939) was a noted American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the world-famous Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island."

The end came at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 30. Bronson acted in more than 60 films, including the 1974 blockbuster Death Wish. Known for his rugged looks and tough-guy roles, the actor himself once remarked, \"\"I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited. \"\" Stardom came rather late in life to Bronson, when he began playing angry old men who did not flinch from using extreme violence and taking the law into their own hands. The actor was named the biggest box-office star by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1972, when he was already over 50. His biggest blockbuster, Death Wish, was made in 1974, when he was 53. And he received the Gold Star Award as the film industry's top international star in 1979, at the age of 57. Born Charles Buchinsky to immigrants from Lithuania on November 3, 1921, in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, Bronson was the only one of 15 children to complete high school. But thereafter he had to join his brothers in the Pennsylvania coal mines to support their large family."

Fruit fly populations are inexhaustible, simple to breed and are not costly subjects. Their genetic makeup is also incredibly simple. Fruit Fly Chromosomes Their chromosomes are large and undivided, allowing for easy observation. When the chromosomes of a fruit fly are stained with chemicals, they reveal straight, dark bands along their length. These bands match the locations of particular genes. The chromosomes of fruit flies gave scientists their first glimpse of genetic variations between species and individuals. The Drosophila melanogaster is the most well known of fruit flies. It has four chromosomal pairs: one that determines sex and three autosomal chromosomes. Each chromosome has two arms, referred to as the left and the right."

Nature Education 1 ( 1) :54Are human behaviors controlled by genetics, or are environmental factors major contributors to behavior? Such questions are fundamental to the study of behavioral genomics. Aa Aa Aa The first systematic studies of whether human behaviors are hereditary were conducted over 100 years ago by Sir Francis Galton, Charles Darwin's cousin. Galton was interested in determining whether human abilities, such as intelligence, could be inherited, and he realized that in order to do this, he must distinguish between those behaviors that were innate and those that were influenced by the environment. To make this distinction, Galton studied the behavioral characteristics of genetically identical twins who were raised in different environments. If twins who had similar traits at birth became dissimilar when reared under differing conditions, these results would support the idea that environment was the primary influence on human behavior. Using this method, Galton deduced that nature (genetics) rather than nurture (environment) played a significant role in behavior (Galton, 1874). Galton's twin studies and other research involving inherited abilities made him a pioneer in the field of behavioral genetics."

"text": "The Genotype/Phenotype Distinction First published Tue Jun 6, 2017The predominant current-day meaning of genotype is some relevant part of the DNA passed to the organism by its parents. The phenotype is the physical and behavioral traits of the organism, for example, size and shape, metabolic activities, and patterns of movement. The distinction between them is especially important in evolutionary theory, where the survival and mating of organisms depends on their traits, but it is the DNA, held to be unaffected by the development of the traits over the life course, that is transmitted to the next generation. Philosophical discussion mostly now takes the predominant meanings as given, focusing instead on questions about the genotype-phenotype relationship. For example: How can DNA be construed as information for the processes of development of an organism’s traits? What is the causal status of DNA versus other influences in the organism’s development? ( see entries on inheritance systems and biological information and also Griffiths & Stotz 2013). Without dismissing the importance of such questions, the focus of this entry remains on the genotype-phenotype distinction. Given that discussion by philosophers of this issue has been minimal, this entry cannot take the standard form of a review of published debates. In order to help frame and orient readers’ conceptual inquiries, another approach is needed."

Image: Frank Gaillard / Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 3.023.27k Engagements Kristina Popova @kmpopova Neurodegeneration Aug 27, 2015 4 minutes read Worcester, MA (Scicasts) — Researchers have determined how the most common gene mutation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) disrupts normal cell function, providing insight likely to advance efforts to develop targeted therapies for these brain diseases. Scientists from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital led the research, which appeared in the science journal Nature. Investigators reported evidence that mutation of C9ORF72 interferes with the movement of RNAs and proteins into and out of the nucleus. Instructions for assembling new proteins are encoded in DNA in the cell nucleus. RNA carries this information out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm where proteins are made. The discovery reveals that the mutation to C9ORF72 blocks this transfer of information, setting the stage for the deterioration and death of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The findings come four years after C9ORF72 was discovered and identified as the most common genetic cause of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig disease. ALS is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder affecting the motor neurons in the central nervous system. As motor neurons die, the brain's ability to send signals to the body's muscles is compromised."

Modern genetics began with the work of the Augustinian friar Gregor Johann Mendel. His work on pea plants, published in 1866, described what came to be known as Mendelian inheritance. Many theories of heredity proliferated in the centuries before and for several decades after Mendel's work. The year 1900 marked the \"\"rediscovery of Mendel\"\" by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and Erich von Tschermak, and by 1915 the basic principles of Mendelian genetics had been applied to a wide variety of organisms—most notably the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Led by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his fellow \"\"drosophilists\"\", geneticists developed the Mendelian model, which was widely accepted by 1925. Alongside experimental work, mathematicians developed the statistical framework of population genetics, bringing genetic explanations into the study of evolution. With the basic patterns of genetic inheritance established, many biologists turned to investigations of the physical nature of the gene. In the 1940s and early 1950s, experiments pointed to DNA as the portion of chromosomes (and perhaps other nucleoproteins) that held genes. A focus on new model organisms such as viruses and bacteria, along with the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA in 1953, marked the transition to the era of molecular genetics."

In 1995, Swiss researchers identified a gene that functions as a master switch to trigger the development of the eye in Drosophila. A similar gene triggers eye development in mammals. Developmental biologists are discovering remarkable similarities in the mechanisms that shape diverse organisms. While geneticists were advancing from Mendel’s laws to an understanding of the molecular basis of inheritance, developmental biologists were focusing on embryology. Embryology is the study of the stages of development leading from fertilized egg to fully formed organism. In recent years, the concepts and tools of molecular genetics have reached a point where a real synthesis of genetics and developmental biology has been possible. When the primary research goal is to understand broad biological principles, the organism chosen for study is called a model organism. Researchers select model organisms that are representative of a larger group, suitable for the questions under investigation, and easy to grow in the lab. For study of the connections between genes and development, suitable model organisms have short generation times and small genomes that are suitable for genetic analysis."

"text": "Circadian Rhythms (Insects)Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations in physiology, metabolism, or behavior that persist (freerun) in organisms that have been isolated from periodic fluctuations in the environment. These rhythms are under the control of innate regulatory systems that are based on internal oscillators (or pacemakers) whose periods approximate those of the naturally recurring 24-hour environmental cycles. The oscillators are subject to control by a limited number of these environmental cycles which synchronize or entrain the period to exactly 24 h and establish specific phase relationships between the rhythms and the external world (Fig. 1 ) . Light cycles are virtually universally effective in the entrainment of circadian rhythms, and in insects, daily cycles of temperature are also effective. FIGURE 1 Event recording of the wheel running activity of a cockroach, Leucophaea maderae. Data for successive days are placed one below the other in chronological order. The bar at the top of the record indicates the light cycle to which the animal was exposed during the first 14 days of the recording. The animal was then placed in constant darkness (DD) and its endogenously generated, free-running circadian rhythm was expressed for the remainder of the record with a period of about 23.5 h. The study of both function and mechanism of circadian systems of insects has a long and productive history.

Muller (1890-1967) demonstrates that X rays can induce mutations X rays had been used in clinical medicine and for experimental purposes in physics since their discovery in 1895. But their value to genetics research only became apparent when Hermann Muller, an American geneticist, employed radioactivity to produce point mutations in the fruit fly Drosophila. Hermann J. Muller©Copyright California Institute of Technology All Rights Reserved Muller was a member of the research team at Columbia University that, under Thomas Hunt Morgan, developed the theory of chromosomal heredity from 1910 to 1915. Like his colleagues, Muller studied mutations and sought to map genes to specific chromosomes. Unlike most other early geneticists, however, Muller was explicitly interested in the physical and chemical nature and operations of genes. As one consequence, Muller designed experiments to test the idea that radioactive particles would affect single genes and lead to point mutations. Beginning in late 1926, while at the University of Texas, Muller subjected male fruit flies to relatively high doses of radiation, then mated them to virgin female fruit flies.• In a few weeks' time Muller was able to artificially induce more than 100 mutations in the resulting progeny—about half the number of all mutations discovered in Drosophila over the previous fifteen years.• Some mutations were deadly. The effects of other mutations were visible in offspring but not lethal. As Muller interpreted his results, radioactive particles passing through the chromosomes randomly affected the molecular structure of individual genes, rendering them either inoperative or altering their chemical functions. Muller's 1927 paper, \"\"Artificial Transmutation of the Gene,\"\" only gave a sketchy account of his data."

However, an allele that is hidden, or not expressed by an organism, can still be passed on to that organism's offspring and expressed in a later generation. Tracing a hidden gene through a family tree Figure 1: In this family pedigree, black squares indicate the presence of a particular trait in a male, and white squares represent males without the trait. White circles are females. A trait in one generation can be inherited, but not outwardly apparent before two more generations (compare black squares). Figure Detail The family tree in Figure 1 shows how an allele can disappear or \"\"hide\"\" in one generation and then reemerge in a later generation. In this family tree, the father in the first generation shows a particular trait (as indicated by the black square), but none of the children in the second generation show that trait. Nonetheless, the trait reappears in the third generation (black square, lower right)."

One common worry is about going under anesthesia. Will you lose consciousness? How will you feel afterward? Is it safe? Every day about 60,000 people nationwide have surgery under general anesthesia. It’s a combination of drugs that’s made surgery more bearable for patients and doctors alike. General anesthesia dampens pain, knocks you unconscious and keeps you from moving during the operation. “Prior to general anesthesia, the best ideas for killing pain during surgery were biting on a stick or taking a swig of whiskey,” says Dr. Emery Brown, an anesthesiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Things improved more than 150 years ago, when a dentist in Massachusetts publicly demonstrated that the anesthetic drug ether could block pain during surgery."

It also has many characteristics which make it an ideal organism for the study of animal development and behavior, neurobiology, and human genetic diseases and conditions. Why? What makes it such a good model? It's more like us than you think. To benefit medical studies, a good model organism needs to share, on the molecular level, many similar features and pathways with humans. It turns out that approximately 60% of a group of readily identified genes that are mutated, amplified, or deleted in a diverse set of human diseases have a counterpart in Drosophila. Studying these genes in Drosophila lets scientists bypass some of the ethical issues of biomedical research involving human subjects. They're easy to keep, and work with. The fruit fly has many practical features that allow scientists to carry out research with ease: A short life cycle,ease of culture and maintenance, anda low number of chromosomesa small genome size (in terms of base pairs), butgiant salivary gland chromosomes, known as polytene chromosomes ."

After mating two yellow mice, he observed that the offspring never showed a normal 3:1 phenotypic ratio. Instead, Cuénot always observed a 2:1 ratio, with two yellow mice for every one non-yellow mouse (Cuénot, 1905; Paigen, 2003). Cuénot thus determined that yellow coat color was the dominant phenotypic trait, and by using test crosses, he showed that all his yellow mice were heterozygotes.

[ 1] It is the application and study of insect and other arthropod biology to criminal matters. It also involves the application of the study of arthropods, including insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans to criminal or legal cases. It is primarily associated with death investigations; however, it may also be used to detect drugs and poisons, determine the location of an incident, and find the presence and time of the infliction of wounds. Forensic entomology can be divided into three subfields: urban, stored-product and medico-legal/medico-criminal entomology.

The concept of forensic entomology dates back to at least the 13th century. However, only in the last 30 years has forensic entomology been systematically explored as a feasible source for evidence in criminal investigations. Through their own experiments and interest in arthropods and death, Sung Tzu, Francesco Redi, Bergeret d’Arbois, Jean Pierre Mégnin and the physiologist Hermann Reinhard have helped to lay the foundations for today's modern forensic entomology.

Natural selection does act on individuals. Each individual’s combination of inherited traits affects its survival and its reproductive success relative to other individuals in the population. However, the evolutionary impact of natural selection is only apparent in the changes in a population of organisms over time. It is the population, not the individual, that evolves. Consider the example of bent grass (Agrostis tenuis) growing on the tailings of an abandoned mine. These tailings are rich in toxic heavy metals. While many bent grass seeds land on the mine tailings each year, the only plants that germinate, grow, and reproduce are those that possess genes enabling them to tolerate metallic soils. These plants tend to produce metal-tolerant offspring. Individual plants do not evolve to become more metal-tolerant during their lifetimes."

Aspartame is a low calorie sugar substitute marketed under brand names like Equal and Nutrasweet. It is a combination of two amino acids: L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. It is available as individual packets for adding to foods and it is a component of many diet soft drinks and other reduced-calorie foods. Depending on who you listen to, it is either a safe aid to weight loss and diabetes control or it is evil incarnate, a deadly poison that is devastating the health of consumers. A reader sent me an ad from his local newspaper that recommended using stevia instead of aspartame and made these startling claims about aspartame: It is derived from the excrement of genetically modified E. coli bacteria Upon ingestion, it breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol, formaldehyde, and formic acid. It accounts for over 75% of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA each year including seizures, migraines, dizzinesss, nausea, muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, fatigue, irritability, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety, tinnitus, schizophrenia and death.

DDT -- used in the United States for insect control in crops and livestock and to combat insect-borne diseases like malaria -- was introduced as a pesticide during WWII. Rutgers scientists -- the first to link a specific chemical compound to Alzheimer's disease -- believe that research into how DDT and DDE may trigger neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's, is crucial. \"\" I think these results demonstrate that more attention should be focused on potential environmental contributors and their interaction with genetic susceptibility,\"\" says Jason R.

Following these atomic bombings, Japan surrendered. But were the atomic bombings necessary to save Allied lives and end Japan's threat to world peace while avoiding a deadly invasion of the Japanese mainland? The following account summarizes the events that led to Japan's surrender in World War II and then considers other means of achieving Japan's surrender. The second half of this article, which also includes the bibliography, can be found in Part 2. For some who are accustomed to the popular beliefs about this matter, this study may be discomforting, although that is not its intent. But if we learn from past occurrences, it may make our future decision-making abilities more capable of saving the lives of our soldiers and sailors and of people on all sides.

It was recognized that he was absolutely essential so he could order his men to lay down their arms. Without him, there would have been anarchy in Japan.11 July 1945 - Japan offered to surrender unconditionally, with one exception - they wished to retain their monarchy. They didn't insist on retaining Emperor Hirohito. They were willing to replace him with his small son, for example. The US wouldn't even talk to them - the bomb was dropped on them without the US ever responding to any of their peace feelers. Since we let them keep their monarchy (they never unconditionally surrendered - the US offered assurrances to the Emperor on August 11 after both bombs were dropped, when they had the assurrences they surrendered), there was no difference between this offer and what happened on August 14. Every death after July 11, both US and Japanese, was a war crime committed by Harry Truman."

"text": "Asia Pacific Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Revives Debate Over the Atomic Bomb By THE NEW YORK TIMES AUG. 5, 2015On Sept. 8, 1945, about a month after the first atomic bomb ever used in warfare was dropped by the United States, an Allied correspondent stood in the rubble in front of the shell of a building that was once an exhibition center and government office in Hiroshima, Japan. Stanley Troutman/Associated Press Did the United States have to drop the bomb? Thousands of New York Times readers have responded to a request, 70 years after the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to consider the argument that started at the dawn of the atomic age and has found little consensus since. “Seventy years later, we do not and can not know,” writes Gwen Boucher from Portland, Ore. “Hopefully the world knows these weapons can not be used again. ”Another reader, Elaine Ledwon from Ann Arbor, Mich., cautions: “It is unfair to judge the dropping of the bomb from a 2015 perspective. ”Still, many readers, drawing on the perspective and historical knowledge about what was happening at that time in the war offered cogent justifications, condemnations, indictments and explanations. President Harry S. Truman defended his decision to drop atomic bombs on the Japanese cities as the only way to avoid a full-scale invasion. That, arguably, would have cost more lives, American and Japanese, than the approximately 200,000 who died in the two atomic attacks.

Why the Atomic Bombings Could Have Been Avoided By Mark Weber On August 6, 1945, the world dramatically entered the atomic age: without either warning or precedent, an American plane dropped a single nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion utterly destroyed more than four square miles of the city center. About 90,000 people were killed immediately; another 40,000 were injured, many of whom died in protracted agony from radiation sickness. Three days later, a second atomic strike on the city of Nagasaki killed some 37,000 people and injured another 43,000. Together the two bombs eventually killed an estimated 200,000 Japanese civilians. Between the two bombings, Soviet Russia joined the United States in war against Japan. Under strong US prodding, Stalin broke his regime's 1941 non-aggression treaty with Tokyo. On the same day that Nagasaki was destroyed, Soviet troops began pouring into Manchuria, overwhelming Japanese forces there. Although Soviet participation did little or nothing to change the military outcome of the war, Moscow benefitted enormously from joining the conflict."

"text": "The REAL Reason America Used Nuclear Weapons Against Japan (It Was Not To End the War Or Save Lives)Posted on October 14, 2012 by Washingtons Blog Atomic Weapons Were Not Needed to End the War or Save Lives Like all Americans, I was taught that the U. S. dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in order to end WWII and save both American and Japanese lives. But most of the top American military officials at the time said otherwise. The U. S. Strategic Bombing Survey group, assigned by President Truman to study the air attacks on Japan, produced a report in July of 1946 that concluded (52-56): Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey’s opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945 and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated. General (and later president) Dwight Eisenhower – then Supreme Commander of all Allied Forces, and the officer who created most of America’s WWII military plans for Europe and Japan – said: The Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Newsweek, 11/11/63, Ike on Ike Eisenhower also noted (pg. 380): In [July] 1945… Secretary of War Stimson, visiting my headquarters in Germany, informed me that our government was preparing to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. I was one of those who felt that there were a number of cogent reasons to question the wisdom of such an act. … the Secretary, upon giving me the news of the successful bomb test in New Mexico, and of the plan for using it, asked for my reaction, apparently expecting a vigorous assent. During his recitation of the relevant facts, I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and so I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of ‘face’."

The war had gone on for six long years with death tolls in the millions. With the war over, peace would be restored to the world for a time. The atomic bomb would cause the final casualties of World War II. Some claim the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan by the United States were unnecessary and caused too much destruction and death, but, truly, the atomic bombs were a necessary show of force that caused Japan to surrender. If the atomic bombs had not been dropped on Japan, it is likely that Japan would not have surrendered until almost every Japanese citizen who was fit to fight was dead. Thus, World War II would have lasted much longer with many more deaths. The original United States plan to end the war was for the United States to invade Japan by bringing in ground troops by sea. The invasion was known as “Operation Olympic” or “X-Day.”"

By the end of July 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent. Together with the British Empire and China, the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945—the alternative being \"\"prompt and utter destruction\"\".

It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as Opus Francigenum (\"\"French work\"\") with the term Gothic first appearing during the later part of the Renaissance. Its characteristics include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault (which evolved from the joint vaulting of Romanesque architecture) and the flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings, such as dorms and rooms. It is in the great churches and cathedrals and in a number of civic buildings that the Gothic style was expressed most powerfully, its characteristics lending themselves to appeals to the emotions, whether springing from faith or from civic pride. A great number of ecclesiastical buildings remain from this period, of which even the smallest are often structures of architectural distinction while many of the larger churches are considered priceless works of art and are listed with UNESCO as World Heritage Sites."

Romanesque architecture between 800 and 1150AD was popular in Western Europe which then rose to the gothic style. Pre-Romanesque style developed by using elements of roman design in the Christian churches in the states of Western Europe. By the end of the pre-Romanesque period Roman elements had fused with Byzantium elements from the Middle East, these influences became known as the Romanesque, meaning \"\"in the manner of Rome\"\".

Nowadays the word ‘romantic’ tends to trigger associations with love and sentimentality, but the period known as the Romantic era encompassed so much more! Romanticism is notoriously difficult to define and has been interpreted in various ways in different countries. However, it is true to say that it flowered originally against a backdrop of violent revolution during a period of economic, political and social transition. It was a European phenomenon, and had an impact upon many spheres of thought and activity. Advocating freedom and independence, many artists and philosophers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries challenged the way people looked at the world, emphasizing the integrity of the individual and refusing to bow to convention. Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Keats and Shelley were pre-eminent among the Romantic poets. Regarding themselves as intuitive prophets, they rejected the pure rationalism and order of the Enlightenment, maintaining that nature and the healing power of the imagination could enable people to transcend their everyday circumstances. Creative powers could be used to illuminate and transform the world into a coherent vision, to regenerate mankind spiritually."

Explaining how to evaluate Greek Sculpture would consume a whole website, so here are a few selected comments about how this unique art form developed, and what therefore to watch for. Greek sculptors learned many of the basics during the Geometric era, although their figurative statues remained quite rigid. Figures were typically depicted in the nude (the male kouros ), or semi-clothed (the female kore ). During the era of Archaic sculpture, as the country opened up to influences from the Black Sea, the Levant and Egypt, they learned how to infuse their human figures with greater fluidity and a greater sense of life. In addition, they began to develop the \"\"archaic smile\"\", along with a more realistic articulation of the body. Then came a truly extraordinary climax. During the era of Greek Classical Sculpture, notably the fifth century BCE, Greek sculpture experienced an unparalleled surge in creativity, exemplified by the works on the Parthenon (447-422 BCE). These Classical innovations shaped the stylistic evolution of sculpture for thousands of years to come. The posture of the standing figure became more subtle, more lifelike and, overall, much more naturalistic."

"text": "Gothic Art and Architecture Gothic Art and Architecture, religious and secular buildings, sculpture, stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts and other decorative arts produced in Europe during the latter part of the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century). Gothic art began to be produced in France about 1140, spreading to the rest of Europe during the following century. The Gothic Age ended with the advent of the Renaissance in Italy about the beginning of the 15th century, although Gothic art and architecture continued in the rest of Europe through most of the 15th century, and in some regions of northern Europe into the 16th century. Originally the word Gothic was used by Italian Renaissance writers as a derogatory term for all art and architecture of the Middle Ages, which they regarded as comparable to the works of barbarian Goths. Since then the term Gothic has been restricted to the last major medieval period. The Gothic Age is now considered one of Europe’s outstanding artistic eras. II ARCHITECTURE Architecture was the dominant expression of the Gothic Age. Emerging in the first half of the 12th century from Romanesque antecedents, Gothic architecture continued well into the 16th century in northern Europe, long after the other arts had embraced the Renaissance. Although a vast number of secular monuments were built in the Gothic style, it was in the service of the church, the most prolific builder of the Middle Ages, that the new architecture evolved and attained its fullest realization. The aesthetic qualities of Gothic architecture depend on a structural development: the ribbed vault."

"text": "\"Australian residential architectural styles From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Italianate residential architecture in Australia)navigation search For non-residential Australian architectural styles, see Australian non-residential architectural styles. Home in the Queenslander style Australian residential architectural styles have evolved significantly over time, from the early days of structures made from relatively cheap and imported corrugated iron (which can still be seen in the roofing of historic homes) to more sophisticated styles borrowed from other countries, such as the Victorian style from the United Kingdom, the Georgian style from North America and Europe and the Californian bungalow from the United States. A common feature of the Australian home is the use of fencing in front gardens, also common in both the UK and the USA. Climate has also influenced housing styles, with balconies and veranda spaces being more prevalent in subtropical Queensland due to the mild, generally warm winters experienced in the state. For many years, Australian homes were built with little understanding of the Australian climate and were widely dependent on European styles that were unsympathetic to Australian landscapes. In recent times, modern Australian residential architecture has reflected the climatic conditions of the country, with adaptations such as double and triple glazing on windows, coordination considerations, use of east and west shade, sufficient insulation, strongly considered to provide comfort to the dweller. Another aspect of Australian suburbia is that the suburbs tend to have a combination of both upper middle class and middle class housing in the same neighbourhood. In Melbourne, for instance, one early observer noted that \"\"a poor house stands side by side with a good house.\"\" [ 1] This is somewhat less common today, with home renovations, gentrification and the teardown (\"\"knock down, rebuild\"\") method becoming more and more common in affluent suburbs, giving a broader distinction between wealthy and lower class areas. However, the teardown technique has led to home buyers purchasing land or older homes in poorer metropolitan areas and building extravagant Mc Mansion style homes on the land, which look out of place and excessive, failing to match with the remaining houses in the street.

"text": "Introduction There are many good reasons for the student to study the history of stained glass; first, to truly excel, the student should be aware of the romance of the medium. Henry Willet would talk extensively of the “lust and the lure and the love of stained glass.” While this cliché is admittedly melodramatic, it nevertheless gives an accurate feel for the attitude of someone who was passionate about the craft. Second, an appreciation of the history of stained glass will foster a dispassionate, critical approach in the student when appraising stained glass. The student of stained glass is urged to approach the medium with an informed, non-prejudiced understanding of the various styles to be encountered.jone Informed observation will free the student’s imagination for design, not to copy but rather to inspire. There are many excellent resources available for the study of stained glass and the student is urged to acquire a library of reference books that illustrate and describe specific installations in detail. However, there is no substitute for actually viewing stained glass in situ; that is, in its architectural surroundings. A comprehensive bibliography follows this chapter. Because this volume is intended as a reference of techniques for the stained glass artist and not as a history of the craft, this chapter should serve only as a starting point for the student who wishes to develop a deeper appreciation of the history of craft. It should also be noted that there are many periods that are imperfectly documented."

History The earliest surviving substantive illuminated manuscripts are from the period 400 to 600 C. E. (also in the gothic period), primarily produced in Ireland, Constantinople and Italy. The significance of these works lies not only in their inherent art history value, but in the maintenance of a link of literacy offered by non-illuminated texts as well. Had it not been for the monastic scribes of Late Antiquity, the entire literature of Greece and Rome would have perished; as it was, the patterns of textual survivals were shaped by their usefulness to the severely constricted literate group of Christians. The very existence of illuminated manuscripts as a way of giving stature and commemoration to ancient documents may have been largely responsible for their preservation in an era when barbarian hordes had overrun continental Europe and ruling classes were no longer literate."

British Museum. Introduction: What is Ivory? Characteristics, Uses Ivory is a type of dentine - a hard, dense bony tissue which forms most of the teeth and tusks of animals - which has been used for millennia as a material for carving sculpture (mostly small-scale relief sculpture or various types of small statue) and other items of decorative art (such as carved ivory covers for illuminated manuscripts, religious objects, and boxes for costly objects), as well as a range of functional items (piano keys, billiard balls). Ivory was valued by both artists and patrons for its rarity, exceptional durability, and was especially prized among sculptors for its creamy colour, smooth texture and soft sheen."

European prehistoric art started as mobile rock, and cave painting art, and was characteristic of the period between the Paleolithic and the Iron Age. [ 1]Written histories of European art often begin with the art of the Ancient Middle East, and the Ancient Aegean civilizations, dating from the 3rd millennium BC. Parallel with these significant cultures, art of one form or another existed all over Europe, wherever there were people, leaving signs such as carvings, decorated artifacts and huge standing stones. However a consistent pattern of artistic development within Europe becomes clear only with the art of Ancient Greece, adopted and transformed by Rome and carried; with the Empire, across much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. [ citation needed]The influence of the art of the Classical period waxed and waned throughout the next two thousand years, seeming to slip into a distant memory in parts of the Medieval period, to re-emerge in the Renaissance, suffer a period of what some early art historians viewed as \"\"decay\"\" during the Baroque period, [2] to reappear in a refined form in Neo-Classicism and to be reborn in Post-Modernism. Before the 1800s, the Christian church was a major influence upon European art, the commissions of the Church, architectural, painterly and sculptural, providing the major source of work for artists. The history of the Church was very much reflected in the history of art, during this period. In the same period of time there was renewed interest in heroes and heroines, tales of mythological gods and goddesses, great wars, and bizarre creatures which were not connected to religion. [ 3]Secularism has influenced European art since the Classical period, while most art of the last 200 years has been produced without reference to religion and often with no particular ideology at all."

"text": "\"Timeline Alphabetical Pre-Renaissance Gothic: 5th Century to 16th Century A. D. Gothic Art is the style of art produced in Northern Europe from the middle ages up until the beginning of the Renaissance. Typically rooted in religious devotion, it is especially known for the distinctive arched design of its churches, its stained glass, and its illuminated manuscripts. In the late 14th century, anticipating the Renaissance, Gothic Art developed into a more secular style known as International Gothic. One of the great artists of this period is Simone Martini. Although superseded by Renaissance art, there was a Gothic Revival in the 18th and 19th centuries, largely rooted in nostalgia and romanticism. Byzantine: 5th Century A. C. to 1453 Byzantine art is the art of the Byzantine Empire, centered in Constantinople (now Istanbul). Byzantine art was completely focused on the needs of the Orthodox church, in the painting of icons and the decoration of churches with frescoes and mosaics. The Byzantine style basically ended with the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453, during the European Renaissance. However, its influence continued for a considerable time in Russia and elsewhere where the Orthodox church held sway. The Renaissance Early Renaissance: Italy, 15th Century The Renaissance was a period of great creative and intellectual activity, during which artists broke away from the restrictions of Byzantine Art."

In terms of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Spain is the country with the second highest amount of buildings on the list, beaten only by Italy. Prehistoric Spanish Architecture Some of the first people to settle on the land where Spain stands today, back in 4000BC, built burial chambers out of stone. The largest of these can be found near to the city of Antequerra, near Málaga in Spain. The 'Cueva de Menga' is 25 metres deep, 5 metres wide and 4 metres high, and dates back to around 3000BC. Celts began to build walled villages, called Castros, on mountains in the region of Galicia. Galicia is where you can find many examples of these Celtic settlements, including Las Cogotas, in Ávila and the Castro of Santa Tecla, in Pontevedra. Roman Spanish Architecture The Romans conquered the Spanish peninsular and with them they brought their fantastic expertise in civil engineering. The Romans built a network of roads that linked many of the major Spanish cities, such as Córdoba and Tarragona (or Taraco as it was called in Roman times). Many bridges and aqueducts were built in Spain, along with some other useful buildings, such as the lighthouse at La Coruña, which is still in use today."

"text": "\"Characteristics of Gothic Architecture Gothic art evolved out of Romanesque art and lasted from the mid-12th century up to the late 16th century in some areas of Germany. Architecture was the main art form of the Gothic, and the main structural characteristics of Gothic architectural design stemmed from the efforts of medieval masons to solve the problems associated with supporting heavy masonry ceiling vaults (arched roofs) over wide spans. The problem arose because the stonework of the traditional arched roof exerted a tremendous downward and outward pressure against the walls upon which it rested, which often caused a collapse. Up to and including the preceding period of Romanesque architecture (c.800-1150), building designers believed that vertical supporting walls had to be made extremely thick and heavy in order to counteract and absorb the vault's downward and outward pressure. But Gothic designers solved this problem around 1120 with several brilliant innovations. Ribbed Vaulting: Flying Buttresses: Pointed Arch First and most important, they developed a ribbed vault, made up of intersecting barrel vaults, whose stone ribs supported a vaulted ceiling of thin stone panels. Not only did this new arrangement significantly reduce the weight (and thus the outward thrust) of the ceiling vault, but also the vault's weight was now transmitted along a distinct stone rib, rather than along a continuous wall edge, and could be channelled from the rib to other supports, such as vertical piers or flying buttresses, which eliminated the need for solid, thick walls. Furthermore, Gothic architects replaced the round arches of the barrel vault with pointed arches which distributed the vault's weight in a more vertical direction. To put it simply, until Gothic builders revolutionized building design, the weight of the roof (vault) fell entirely on the supporting walls. As a result, the heavier the roof or the higher the roof, the more downward and outward pressure on the walls and the thicker they had to be to stay upright."

The six second-grade students in the group are getting ready to read a short nonfiction trade book about spiders that is a required text in our regular reading series. The book uses a straightforward compare-contrast text structure to present information about spiders, comparing and contrasting them first with insects and then with other arachnids, like scorpions. My goal in the lesson is to help children to both gain new knowledge about spiders and to understand the compare-contrast text structure that the book uses.

Alligators are large territorial animals especially males, with largest species tend to defend the primarily territory. The small alligators are commonly found in large gatherings. Despite its bulky size and weight, alligators are capable to make short bursts to grasp preys on land. They have a slow metabolism. Alligators primarily prey on smaller species which they kill with a single bite. Mostly, alligators prefer to eat food which can be consumed in one bite. Since they have a slow metabolic rate, alligators aren’t often involved in eating frequently.

Winged predators such as herons, egrets and eagles like to eat small crocodilians, and so do a lot of carnivorous mammals, such as wild pigs. As for what alligators, caimans and crocodiles eat: The will eat just about any animal, fish or avian that they are large and strong enough to kill."

"text": "What do Alligators Eat? Categorized as Reptiles Alligators are carnivorous reptiles who spend most of their time in the rivers of America and China. They hunt within and on the banks of these rivers and sometimes ponds or lakes. Baby alligators are very small and can only hunt worms, shrimp and tiny fish. Later, they grow to be over 1000 pounds and eat razorback boars, black bears, panthers and deer that they ambush from the water. Alligators lay in wait just below the surface of the water for an unsuspecting victim to come by for a drink. Then, while the animal is vulnerable, the alligator launches itself from the water, grabs the animal and drags it underwater to be drowned. Smaller prey include fish like catfish and gar turtles, and birds. Alligators are less likely to attack humans than their cousin the crocodile, but anyone swimming in alligator territory must be very cautious, particularly children.

Port Orleans Riverside is a resort themed to the Mississippi-bayou area of the Old South. Appropriate to the magic of Disney, numerous thematic elements recreate the feel of actually being in the bayou. The mighty Sassagoula River winds through the Resort, heading downstream to Port Orleans French Quarter and eventually the Disney Springs area. The Resort commercial center, which houses the registration area, food court, restaurant, and other services, carries a riverboat dock theme, as if you are booking passage with the Sassagoula Steamboat Company. The restaurant -- Boatwright's Dining Hall -- is designed as a boat building operation, the food court (Riverside Mill) features an operating cotton press, and you check in under signs listing the Steamboat destinations. There are three styles of rooms: Magnolia Bend rooms are located in plantation-style mansion homes, whereas Alligator Bayou rooms are in rustic lodges. And true to Disney, each area is themed to the hilt. Special Royal Rooms can be found in Magnolia Bend buildings 90 and 95 for an additional cost. The award-winning southern landscaping throughout the Resort is meticulously maintained, adding to the overall atmosphere."

Raccoons that find food sources provided by humans lose their fear of people and sometimes move right in, and when raccoons establish themselves on human territory they can become very difficult to remove. Whether you adore the cute little raccoons in the woods and you are seeking to remove raccoons from your garden, flower beds, orchards, or attic, knowing raccoons is the first step to appreciating or controlling them.1. Raccoons are omnivorous, eating almost anything. Raccoons tend to eat any food that is abundant, but they prefer sweet foods. Candy and marshmallows are useful as raccoon bait that will not attract most family pets. Raccoons will strip small fields of corn bare just as the corn is reaching its peak sweetness. Raccoons will eat songbirds, woodpeckers, ducks, and quail, and snatch the eggs of larger birds such as turkeys. They will devour frogs, shrews, moles, mice, rats, and jackrabbits. They will eat almost any kind of fruit as it ripens."

Man-eater is a colloquial term for an individual animal that preys on humans as a pattern of hunting behavior. This does not include the scavenging of corpses, a single attack born of opportunity or desperate hunger, or the incidental eating of a human that the animal has killed in self-defense. However, all three cases (especially the last two) may habituate an animal to eating human flesh or to attacking humans, and may foster the development of man-eating behavior. Although human beings can be attacked by many kinds of animals, man-eaters are those that have incorporated human flesh into their usual diet and actively hunt and kill humans. Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, [1] [2] and crocodilians. However, they are by no means the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including bears, Komodo dragons, and hyenas.

They require difficult environments to set up and maintain. All it takes is one disobedient neighbor's kid to sneak into your yard and get mauled or killed by your pet to ruin your life forever. Their food is expensive even if it doesn't include the neighbor's children. You may establish trust with the crocodile but never loyalty or even fear. Veterinarians may refuse to help your sick or dying crocodile, and the one's that may help will clean out your bank account for sure. Crocodiles can live past your lifetime if properly maintained, in that your life will have to revolve around them or you'll have to sentence it to death (give it away and someone may kill it, or abandon it and someone will eventually kill the \"\"wild\"\" crocodile).

Some peppers are so hot they can literally burn your skin while others impart just a little warmth. And some people just can’t get enough of them! But there is one little critter that just doesn’t understand our affinity for spicy-hot peppers — the squirrel!Kick it up a notch! with cajun spices. Hot pepper can be a very persuasive product when it comes to keeping squirrels away from bird seed. While birds don’t really have a sense of smell or taste, squirrels absolutely do!The taste and smell of hot peppers can be just as irritating to their noses and taste buds as it is to those of us that don’t appreciate hot, peppery foods. There are many squirrel-deterring bird foods — seeds, suets and seed additives that contain hot pepper products.

Northern flying squirrels have a furred patagium (fleshy membrane) that extends from the wrist of the foreleg to the ankles of the hindleg. The tail is furred, flattened, rounded at the end, and long (80% of the length of the head and body). Northern flying squirrels have large black eyes, which they use for nighttime activity.

The first time I saw a black squirrel was while sitting in Manhattan’s Union Square Park. Naturally, I assumed I was just looking at a particularly sooty specimen of a more commonly seen New York City rodent – the eastern gray squirrel. But identically dark-coated squirrels manifested during subsequent lunch hours until I finally acknowledged that, unlike cats at night, not all squirrels are gray. Black is the new gray Image Credit: quinn.anya Black squirrels are melanistic versions of the species Sciurus carolinensis – the eastern gray squirrel. Aside from their dramatic pigmentation, they’re just like the fairer-haired members of their species. Their lifestyles are probably similar to the squirrels in your own neighborhood. * They live in trees, eat nuts, and make those squirrel sounds at you when you’re leaving for work in the morning. They are “scatter-hoarders,” which means they bury food they wish to store for later in numerous locations rather than in one or two well-guarded caches. Sometime they bury their leftovers in your outdoor flower pots, uprooting a perfectly good basil plant in the process."

A: Quick Answer According to the West Virginia Wildlife Magazine, squirrels make tree cavity dens and leaf nests which are built inside trees or up on branches located very high off the ground. Tree dens offer greater protection from the rain and other elements, but leaf nests are most common in woods where there is a shortage of den trees such as oaks, elms and beech trees.

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Keep Squirrels From Eating Flowers By Alicia Bodine; Updated September 21, 2017Squirrels look innocent and cute, but in actuality they can cause a significant amount of damage to your flowers. Squirrels are notorious for digging up flower bulbs. What's worse is that once the squirrels find a food source on your property, they can make their way into your home looking for shelter. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to keep the squirrels out of your flowers, and away from your home. Soak all your flower bulbs in squirrel repellent bought from a garden center before planting them in the ground. This takes a little bit of your time, but will keep the flowers from becoming appealing to squirrels. Set up an animal trap and bait it with peanut butter. This is a favorite of squirrels. Once you catch the squirrels, you can set them free in a nearby park. Sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes around the base of your flowers."

Answer by Zubair nazir Confidence votes 340Squirrels are members of the order Rodentia and comprise 50 genera and 273 species that are spread worldwide. Tree squirrels live mostly in tree nests called dreys, which they build high in the forks of trees. Drays are approximately the size of a football and are made of twigs, leaves or pine needles or grass. Shredded grasses, fresh leaves, moss, and lichens are used to line the inside of the nest. Sometimes tree squirrels may make their nests in a hollow trunk, inhabit a permanent tree den, or take over a rook's nest, constructing a roof over it. Red squirrels in some areas also nest in middens in the ground. Ground squirrels (like prairie dogs and chipmunks) create underground tunnel systems called burrows, often with multiple entrances and chambers. Some ground squirrels use rocks and shrubs to hide burrow entrances."

( for the squirrel)Jimmy Joe Meager 01-25-2009, 02:54 PMWould live-trapping and relocating a squirrel, right now, likely cause said squirrel to freeze or starve to death? About two days ago a squirrel became a nuisance around my home (the reason why is below, but isn’t really part of my question). For a number of good reasons, simply dispatching him to squirrel heaven (quickly and humanely) isn’t an option. So my idea is to buy a live trap, catch him, drive 20+ miles away, and release him. However, someone pointed out that here, locally around my house, he might have a nest and food stores. Relocating him would mean he’d likely freeze or starve to death, which would be less humane than just shooting him in the first place. So that’s my question. For the reasons mentioned (or other reasons, please let me know), would relocating him right now likely cause his death?"

"text": "What Are the Different Types of Squirrels? Tweet Except for gardeners having to replace bulbs and seedlings, and homeowners having to repair roofs, insulation, ceilings, and foundations, most people like having cute little squirrels of all kinds around. When squirrels become a pest, however, knowing the different types of squirrels is essential for choosing the rodent removal methods that will work. And even when the desire is encouraging squirrels to visit a park or woodland, understanding the different types of squirrels is necessary for protecting squirrels from predators, disease and knowing how to get rid of squirrels. Red Squirrels (Fox Squirrels)The most common squirrel in North America is the red squirrel. It is so common, in fact, that the nomenclature for red squirrels gets more than a little confusing. Sciurus niger, its Latin zoological name, literally means “black squirrel” ( Tesky, Julie L has wrote a paper on them). Red squirrels are also known as fox squirrels, stump-eared squirrels, raccoon squirrels, and monkey-faced squirrels. They are often mistaken for Eastern gray squirrels, despite the fact that the “red” squirrel has a reddish coat on its back, red and black on its tail, and rust-colored fur on its legs. Red squirrels are found throughout North America east of the Rocky Mountains, except in Canada’s maritime provinces and in New England."

You can also get squirrels out of buildings with spring door one-way exclusion devices. The three of these are shown below: Read my squirrel trapping guide for more info. This website has several different articles regarding catching squirrels in many different situations, including squirrels in the attic, in the chimney, and information about squirrel prevention and squirrels damaging trees. How To Catch Squirrels In a Cage Trap: First, you need a small cage, no more than 18 inches long, and 5 inches tall/wide. Set the trap in a good area where the squirrels go, preferably off the ground. I bolt traps onto trees, fences, and roofs of houses, as seen in the above photograph. Use a long screwdriver and washers to fix the trap to the surface. Be sure it's secure and doesn't rattle! Be sure the trap is in the shade, or the squirrel may die of heat stroke and dehydration, very quickly."

The means of control and the speed of the endocrine system are very different from those of the nervous system. • The nervous system regulates the activity of muscles and glands via electrochemical impulses delivered by neurons, and those organs respond within milliseconds. • The endocrine system influences metabolic activity by means of hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the blood to be transported throughout the body. Binding of a hormone to cellular receptors initiates responses that typically occur after a lag period of seconds or even days. But, once initiated, those responses tend to be much more prolonged than those induced by the nervous system. o Reproduction o Growth and Development o Maintenance of Electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of the blood o Regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance o Mobilization of body defenses Indicate important differences between hormonal and neural controls of body functioning2.

A Breakdown of the Acidity Inside the Stomach Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images/Laurence Monneretby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated December 27, 2017Your stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, but the p H of your stomach isn't necessarily the same as the p H of the acid. The p H of your stomach varies, from 1-2 up to 4-5. When you eat, the stomach releases enzymes called proteases as well as hydrochloric acid to aid in digestion. By itself, the acid doesn't really do much for digestion, but the proteases that cleave proteins work best in an acidic environment or low p H, so after a high-protein meal, your stomach p H may drop to as low as 1 or 2. However, buffers quickly raise the p H back to 3 or 4. After the meal has been digested, your stomach p H returns to a resting level of about 4 or 5. Your stomach secretes acid in response to food, so first thing in the morning you can expect a slightly acidic stomach p H, but not an acidic level representative of pure hydrochloric acid.

First, amylase is contained in everyone's saliva. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. When you chew carbs/breads, it becomes sweeter as you chew because the mechanical action of your teeth and amylase in the saliva are breaking the carbohydrates down to their component sugars. Next, the foods goes to the stomach where it resides about 60 minutes or more as it is further digested by the stomach acid and pepsin. Pepsin is a protease enzymes released into the stomach. There is more mechanical breakdown too by the stomach muscles. If you take plant enzymes, most plant enzymes are quite stable in the stomach environment and go to work. This gives the plant enzymes an edge on digestion over animal/pancreatic enzymes. Plant enzymes can be working on food for at least an hour before the food proceeds to the small intestine."

( Must See Photos)Finding A Pool Contractor | Fiberglass Pool Information | Installation & Construction | Patio and Coping | DIY Fiberglass Pools | Pool Design Guides Share: As I've mentioned before, one of the beauties of having a national pool blog is the fact that I get emails from all over the country from people who have experienced good, bad, and ugly during their swimming pool installation and ownership process. When it comes to fiberglass pools, one of the subjects I hear most about has to do with concrete patios, and more specifically, cantilever coping. In the past, fiberglass pools were labeled as ‘bath tubby' due to the fact that so many builders poured the concrete patio up to the lip of the fiberglass, versus over the lip (cantilevered) as it is usually done today. ( Picture to the left shows what this is should to look like)The problem with pouring cantilever concrete around a pool though, especially a fiberglass pool, is that it's rather difficult to do unless you've practiced the skill multiple times. You see, cantilever concrete around a fiberglass swimming pool requires the installation of special forms that are made of Styrofoam. These forms are temporarily attached to the lip of the fiberglass and once the concrete decking has been poured, they are stripped off and what's left is a bull-nose finish (hopefully). The problem that most contractors have is that when these forms are stripped off, the coping that's left can be jagged, honey-combed, and extremely unsightly. This is mainly due to improper installation of the forms as well as improper handling of the forms during the concrete pour. I've even seen many cases where large clumps of coping have simply been ripped off the pool deck when the forms were removed."

It's important to fix cracks in the wall or pan as soon as you notice them, because they can allow water to leak into the framing, and it doesn't take long for the water to rot the wood. An epoxy repair system works best for wall repairs, but to repair a cracked pan, you should rely instead on a custom-made insert for strength.1Put on goggles, a respirator and gloves, and turn on the bathroom exhaust fan. Grind a bevel about 1 1/2 inches wide centered on the crack with a rotary tool and an 80-grit sanding accessory. The purpose of the bevel is to provide surface area to which the fiberglass repair tape can adhere.2Lay cellophane tape around the borders of the bevel to keep the repair materials off the undamaged surface of the stall.3Mix epoxy fiberglass repair resin with the hardener that comes with it in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. Spread it inside the bevel with a small paintbrush.4Cut a piece of 9-ounce fiberglass cloth from a roll that is wide enough to fill the bevel, wet it down with the epoxy and lay it on the crack. Cut a smaller piece of tape, wet it down and lay it on top, then lay an even smaller piece on top of that one. The final piece of cloth should come flush with the surface of the stall.5Allow the epoxy to cure overnight, then mix enough two-part polyester fiberglass filler to cover the repair. The filler is similar to auto-body filler. Choose a color that matches the shower stall."

High-gloss acrylic shower enclosures are a step up from lightweight fiberglass showers, but most acrylic showers don't feel as substantial or luxurious as a shower made from Swanstone solid surface material, a product of the Swan Corporation. The luxury of Swanstone, however, comes at a premium price, and it may not always be worth the extra cost. Acrylic Sheet Material Acrylic shower products are made from acrylic polymer resin cast or molded to form shower wall panels, shower pans or one-piece shower enclosures. The surface of the acrylic material is nonporous and usually has a high-gloss finish. Acrylic shower wall panels and shower bases are often reinforced with underlying layers of fiberglass or composite materials. Swanstone Solid Surface Material Manufacturers of solid surface products are not eager to share their proprietary recipes, but all solid surface materials consist of a combination of acrylic or polyester polymers and natural mineral aggregates molded into the desired form. Swan claims that its Swanstone products offer better resistance to impact, heat and chemical exposure than competing materials. Swanstone shower products include shower wall panels, shelves, shower seats, benches and shower pans that can be assembled into a wide variety of configurations. Strength The composition of Swanstone solid surface material, with its mineral components bonded together by hardened resin, makes it inherently stronger than acrylic sheet material, which is typically thinner and more prone to damage."

Temporary patches like you've tried are temporary and from personal experience may only gain you 24-48 hours which if it's your copper main hot water lines, gives you just enough time to find all the fittings and pipe so you can spend your weekend finding all 20 other incipient pinhole leaks as you R&R the whole system. – Fiasco Labs Jul 30 '13 at 15:02Home Depot sells a pipe repair kit.

The wall is currently plaster and lath and I'm trying to get a handle on the best way to repair the damage after the plaster and lath are removed. From what I've read so far, plaster of Paris hardens too fast, making it difficult to work with so I'm leaning towards DAP® Plaster Wall Patch (Dry Mix). I know I need to provide some backing material either metal or wooden lath but I'm not sure what else is needed. Do I need to use any fiberglass mesh to put over the lathe or can I just start with the plaster. Does anyone have any experience with the Plaster Wall Patch? Is there something better that would work? When applying plaster it sounds like I need at least two layers, once base and another finishing. Should I build up a first layer, let it dry and then another layer level with the existing surface or is there a technique that would be better."

Grab bar mounting brackets made specifically for fiberglass installation have discs that safely distribute the weight of a person and prevent the fiberglass from cracking. By attaching the brackets to wall studs with bolts, you ensure that the grab bar will not pull out from the tub or shower wall when in use. Grab bars can be purchased in sets of two, which allow you to install a vertical grab bar in a one-piece tub and shower for standing assistance and a horizontal grab bar to help people rise up or sit down in the bath tub.1Locate a stud on the shower wall near the shower head with a stud finder. Find the center of the stud 33 inches up from the floor and mark it with a long piece of low tack painter's tape. This is where the vertical grab bar will be installed.2Locate an adjacent stud on the wall. Place a piece of low tack painter's tape across the wall, with the ends lined up with the centers of the two adjacent studs, in the location where the grab bar can be easily reached while sitting in the tub.3Hold the first grab bar up against the vertical piece of tape. Center the mounting flanges of the grab bar on the stud's center-line. Trace around the perimeter of the mounting flanges to mark their position. Do the same with the second grab bar and the horizontal tape that spans between two studs.4Find the center of the traced circles and mark them with a dot.5Drill a 1/8 inch hole on the dots."

Before that was possible, pros had to build a custom shower pan by mixing and applying mortar, troweling it flat, and laying ceramic shower floor tile. Although fiberglass units make shower pans quick and easy, they lack the elegance of a handcrafted mortar and tile floor.

January 21, 2012 By vkinney Fiberglass is a material that tubs are commonly made out of. After a few years of use, though, fiberglass tubs are notorious for becoming rather dull in appearance, and often times they develop stress cracks or structural cracks and holes, which can lead to water leaks. While many homeowners may immediately think of replacing the tub, it’s important for them to know that’s not necessary, as holes and cracks can be repaired. Miracle Method offers fiberglass repair and refinishing services, which will restore your fiberglass tub or shower to its original state and appearance. We use the most advanced resins and fiberglass tub refinishing materials to rebuild and patch most any hole, crack, or other damage your tub or shower may have received.

They are great for relaxing tired muscles at the end of a long day, for bathing young children, and are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit just about any design. Some new models also offer special features like chromatherapy, inline heaters, whirlpools, and air jets for an enhanced bathing experience. A 5 ft. acrylic bathtub from a reputed manufacturer with new surround and fixtures can be installed for around $2,500. Before installation Before choosing a bathtub, it is important to determine how much room you have in your bathroom. For example, a drop-in tub can only be installed in large bathrooms with plenty of floor space. Another important factor that will affect your final decision is your purpose for installing a bathtub. If you are planning to use your bathtub mainly for soaking/relaxing, a luxurious whirlpool tub may be what you are looking for."

There are many differences between the two finishes, including construction, warranty, and thickness. While the Gelcoat units have a strong, durable finish, the Acrylic units are less porous, glossier, and easier to clean. If you’ve ever seen a tub that looks dingy after years of use, that tub, most likely, has a Gelcoat finish. The Acrylic will look newer and cleaner, longer. Acrylic Gelcoat Construction Acrylic bathware is constructed of a single, continuous piece of heat-molded acrylic which resists fading, is exceptionally easy to maintain and allows sophisticated designs Gelcoat is a polyester coating applied directly to the molds and sealed with a fiberglass and resign mix, which produces a lightweight, beautiful unit. Warranty 25 years on the acrylic 5 years on the gelcoat Thickness 3-5 times thicker than the gelcoat layer; is a strong durable product that resists scratches, cracks, chips and spider cracks during the building construction Thinner than acrylic, although it is also lighter and allows for flexibility to adjust to uneven walls during renovation projects Surface Non-porous and resistant to mildew, soap scum, chemical and ferrous water stains. The color will not fade Easier to clean than ABS or polypropylene materials Scratches Scratches can be carefully buffed out Scratches can reveal the fiberglass under the gelcoat, and can be repaired by a professional If you read through the information above and still aren’t sure which one if right for you, just ask!

This seam must be caulked with the best quality 100 percent silicone caulk you can buy. These caulks are available in various colors, should you be using a colored grout. Grout will shrink after installation and a very tiny crack will exist, trust me. The best way to caulk this crack, believe it or not, is to do it in your bathing or birthday suit. Why, might you ask? The reason is simple. The tub should be filled up to the overflow with water when caulking this joint. The added weight of 30 to 50 gallons of water plus your body weight can cause the floor below the tub to deflect. Leave the water in the tub as long as possible to allow the caulk to cure."

Fiberglass is used in innumerable consumer and industrial products from airplanes and automobiles to showers and insulation. When used in a finished product, fiberglass is mixed with a bonding material such as epoxy or thermoplastic, in order to shape it and strengthen it. There are some health hazards associated with handling GRP, especially when it's sold as glass wool. Always wear a face mask when working with GRP so as not to breathe in any glass particles.

Presidential Bid“Care should be taken that the pulpit and all church property remain a neutral space when it comes to elections. ”Editor’s note: The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s North American Division has released this statement about the May 4 announcement of Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and Adventist member, that he will seek the Republican Party nomination for U. S. president. By North American Division staff As the 2016 United States election cycle begins, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is aware of the increased interest in the presidential candidacy of Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson’s story is well known to most Adventists, and he is a well-respected physician. The Adventist Church has a longstanding position of not supporting or opposing any candidate for elected office. This position is based both on our historical position of separation of church and state and the applicable federal law relating to the church’s tax-exempt status. While individual church members are free to support or oppose any candidate for office as they see fit, it is crucial that the church as an institution remain neutral on all candidates for office. Care should be taken that the pulpit and all church property remain a neutral space when it comes to elections. Church employees must also exercise extreme care not to express views in their denominational capacity about any candidate for office, including Dr. Carson. We also want to remind our church members, pastors, and administrators of the church’s official position on the separation of church and state."

Although Republicans have reservations about Mr. Trump and voters often end up embracing candidates who lagged in early polls, the billionaire businessman appears to be gaining acceptance as a possible nominee. The poll found that 39 percent of Republican primary and caucus voters viewed Mr. Trump as their best shot at winning the presidency, compared with 26 percent in a CBS survey in August. Only 15 percent said they would not back him as the party’s standard-bearer. Highlights From the G. O. P. Debate The New York Times provided real-time analysis as the Republican presidential hopefuls discussed the issues on CNN. Ben Carson, another Republican with no history in the political establishment, is also gaining notable new support and is now running nearly even with Mr. Trump. Mr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who delivers his socially conservative message and outsider views in more measured tones than Mr. Trump, rose to 23 percent; he had 6 percent early last month before a widely praised performance in the first Republican debate. Mr. Trump draws 27 percent support in the new poll, compared with 24 percent last month."

' September 7, 2016 By Bre Payton During a townhall meeting in Laos, President Barack Obama called Americans “lazy” multiple times. For one, Obama said Americans’ reluctance to embrace his favored environmental policies is a sign of laziness. “Usually when you see the environment destroyed, it’s not because it’s necessary for development,” Obama said. “ It’s usually because we’re being lazy and we’re not being as creative as we could be about how to do it in a smarter, more sustainable way. ”He also accused Americans of being isolated and ignorant because the United States is such a big country. “The United States is and can be a great force for good in the world. But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world,” he said. “ If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people. ”At a town hall in Laos, President Obama twice suggested that Americans are \"\"lazy\"\" — culturally and environmentally."

"text": "© Greg Nash BALTIMORE — It’s 8 a.m. on Thursday morning and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson stands in the living room of a century-old home in northwest Baltimore. A combination of federal and state funding covered the $19,000 cost to strip the house of lead-based paint to make it safe for the three young girls who live there, improvements Carson is highlighting on his tour of Baltimore housing. “ I wish we had unlimited money so we could do this for all of these houses,” Carson said, as the girls’ mother expressed gratitude for the federal assistance that made her home livable. That’s where the tension lies for Carson, the former GOP presidential candidate whose ideas about the scope of government worry the left. Carson believes government assistance should be short-term, limited and designed to prod recipients to achieve something greater. He’s called poverty a “state of mind” and argued that “a comfortable setting” might be an incentive for people to stay on welfare. In a Thursday interview, Carson said that it’s in the interests of the government to “develop the populace” because “everybody is either going to be part of the load or part of the engine.” “ The more people we can get to be part of the engine, the better off we are,” Carson said. “ The faster and further we’ll go.” Carson’s views on government assistance were shaped by his dramatic rise from poverty as a child in Detroit."

"text": "\"Sean Hannity’s Week From Hell No matter what happens, they’ll always have each other. Judd Legum Aug 15, 2016, 3:40 pm SHAREDonald Trump doesn’t have much of a campaign. In the handful of states that will determine the election — Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia — Trump has few staffers on the ground and no campaign ads on the air. The Republican National Committee, which has been providing what exists of the Trump campaign apparatus, is under pressure to pull the plug. Donald Trump doesn’t have much of a campaign, but he does have Sean Hannity. For more than a year, Hannity has largely devoted his show to shameless Trump boosterism. He has interviewed Trump dozens of time, showering him with praise and never once making news. Hannity said it was his New Year’s resolution to make sure Trump, or whoever won the Republican nomination, wins the presidency. It is often very difficult to tell where the Trump campaign ends and Hannity’s show begins: Join @real Donald Trump & @Sean Hannity for a Town Hall, Tuesday Aug. 16!

He espoused the idea of a tax-exempt health savings account created at birth, that can be bequeathed at death, along with an electronic medical record and birth certificate.

"text": "\"Print By Dr. Owen Anderson - - Monday, December 12, 2016The First Amendment is first, not simply because it falls at the beginning of a list of amendments, but because it articulates the first freedom and the nature of that freedom. It guarantees the freedom essential to humans as rational beings. By connecting the freedom of religion with the freedom of speech, the First Amendment gets to the essence of what it is to be a human — for it is self-evident that we are thinking beings. We use reason to form thoughts, and we think in order to make sense of, or give meaning to, our experiences in light of our basic beliefs. Our most basic beliefs answer the most basic questions that can logically be asked. These include beliefs about authority, existence and value. Because of how these beliefs shape the rest of our worldview, and because of their relationship to our search for meaning, they are identified as our religious beliefs. To be concerned for thinking, reason and meaning is to be concerned for common ground in human civilization. The historical circumstances of the First Amendment might include the background of the European Wars of Religion and the role of the Church of England in the British government. However, philosophically, it is about what is needed for humans as rational beings to prosper."

"text": "\"Ben Carson Facts American doctor Ben Carson (born 1951) overcame poverty, racism, and a violent temper to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon. In 1987, neurosurgeon Ben Carson successfully performed an operation to separate Siamese twins who were born joined at the head. It was a milestone in neurosurgery, but was far from the only noteworthy achievement of Carson's career. He also performed ground-breaking surgery on a twin suffering from an abnormal expansion of the head. Carson was able to relieve the swelling and remove the surplus fluid-all while the unborn twin remained in its mother's uterus. This too was a first, and in other instances Carson has performed operations which have greatly expanded scientific knowledge of the brain and its functions. His \"\"can-do\"\" spirit, combined with his medical expertise, has made him the surgeon of choice for parents with children suffering rare neurological conditions. If Carson seemed destined for any position when he was a child growing up on the streets of Detroit, he appeared most qualified for the role of putting someone else in the hospital-or even the morgue. In his profile on the American Academy of Achievement website, it was noted that Carson \"\"had a temper so violent that he would attack other children, even his mother, at the slightest provocation.\"\" No doubt some of his anger stemmed from the conditions of his childhood."

"text": "\"In an election season full of bizarre spectacles, perhaps none was quite so bizarre as that of CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield reading a prepared “apology” from the Ted Cruz campaign over “dirty tricks” (to put it generously) that Cruz’s campaign and surrogates used to carry him to victory over Donald Trump in Monday’s Iowa caucuses. It’s not bizarre that Cruz’s campaign would issue a self-serving and inaccurate “apology,” but it is bizarre that CNN would broadcast such an apology when it contained willful inaccuracies about CNN. Aside from the legally-shady “voter violation” mailer, Cruz’s campaign has been accused of spreading rumors at caucus precincts that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race, and that Iowa voters should instead support Ted Cruz. That allegation came from none other than Ben Carson himself Tuesday morning, when he told Fox and Friends that his own wife, Candy Carson, personally witnessed this activity going on: Discover Next Up Maher on Trump Wiretapping Claims: ‘What Is the Proper Response to Insanity?’In addition to the in-person misrepresentations, Carson also referenced these tweets from key Cruz surrogate Rep. Steve King (R-IA):#iacaucus Skipping NH & SC is the equivalent of suspending. Too bad this information won’t get to all caucus goers. https://t.co/l W5Js50EMA— Steve King (@Steve King IA) February 2, 2016Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope. https://t.co/l W5Js50EMA— Steve King (@Steve King IA) February 2, 2016Now, CNN reporter Chris Moody never said Ben Carson was “skipping” South Carolina and New Hampshire, just that he was not going directly there after Iowa, but if King had any doubts about Moody’s meaning, they should have been cleared up by the tweet he posted mere seconds later, and a good 40 minutes before King started his rumor: Carson won’t go to NH/SC, but instead will head home to Florida for some R&R. He’ll be in DC Thursday for the National Prayer Breakfast.— Chris Moody (@moody) February 2, 2016Ben Carson’s campaign tells me he plans to stay in the race beyond Iowa no matter what the results are tonight.—"

By Tracy Jan Globe Staff November 13, 2015BALTIMORE — Sixteen hours into the marathon operation, the moment came to separate the seven-month-old twins joined by a blood vessel at the back of their brains. Everyone in the operating room assumed Dr. Ben Carson, then director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine, would do the honors of severing the thin blue vein that last connected the babies. But the unassuming young surgeon handed the knife over to his mentor, Dr. Donlin Long, the neurosurgery chief at the time. “He gave me the opportunity to take over and do the operation and take all the credit,” Long recalled in an interview with the Globe. “ I thought about it. If everything worked out well, it could make his career. If it didn’t, it could destroy it. ”Advertisement Long handed the knife back. The German twins survived the risky procedure."

Participants—who followed a 5 p.m. debate among seven second-tier candidates —include real estate mogul and television personality Donald Trump, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich . Other than the added name recognition of the primary candidate group—the Top 10 were chosen by their performance in a series of recent polls—the biggest difference between the two debates is venue. Both were held in Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, but the second-tier debate took place without an audience, which can make all the difference in determing who wins and loses the night. The candidates in the main debate received one minute each for answers, and 30 seconds for follow-ups.10:56 p.m. Closing statements. Paul says he is \"\"a different kind of Republican.\"\" Rubio says he will \"\"make of this century a new American century.\"\" Cruz says his first day in office will be dominated by rescinding \"\"every illegal unconstitutional action taken by Barack Obama\"\" and prosecuting Planned Parenthood. Carson says he's \"\"the only one [onstage] to separate Siamese twins\"\" before adding that he's \"\"fighting for the next generation.\"\" Huckabee says \"\"America is in trouble, but it's not beyond repair.\"\""

It’s not just the $18 trillion; it’s the $211 trillion of unfunded mandates as well.”— Ben Carson (R), speech announcing his presidential candidacy, May 4, 2015In his campaign launch speech, Republican neurosurgeon Carson used an eye-popping figure to describe what the United States owes. Carson went on to say that while the United States owes $18 trillion plus the $211 trillion, it also owns land, mineral rights, dams, levees, railroads and hundreds of thousands of government buildings, including ones being underused or not being used at all. Given how much the United States owes and owns, Carson promised to “change the government into something that looks more like a well-run business than a behemoth of inefficiency. ”The most widely cited national debt figure is $18 trillion. The Treasury Department’s daily update on the total public debt the day Carson announced his presidential run showed about $13 trillion in debt held by the public (such as Treasury bills and bonds) and $5 trillion in intragovernmental holdings (securities held by other government accounts, such as bonds held by Social Security). Yet Carson adds another $211 trillion — nearly 12 times more than the $18 trillion figure."

Miller - The Washington Times - Tuesday, November 15, 2016Former presidential candidate Ben Carson has withdrawn his name for consideration for a job in the President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, according to multiple reports Tuesday. Mr. Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon who was a rival in the GOP primary race but later become a fierce supporter of Mr. Trump, was reportedly offered the job of Health and Human Services secretary but turned it down. Mr. Carson thinks he can “best serve the president outside the administration,” said Mr. Carson’s business manager, Armstrong Williams, according to a report by Circa. The HHS secretary is a key post that will be responsible for executing Mr. Trump’s plans to dismantle Obamacare and replace it with an alternative health insurance programs. Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who is leading the transition team, did not respond to reporters’ questions about Mr. Carson when he arrived at Trump Tower in New York for transition team meetings. Mr. Carson’s decision to stay out of the Trump administration follows reports earlier in the day that former Rep.

Isaac Brekken for The New York Times WASHINGTON — Big-city mayors and housing experts are nervous about the idea of a billionaire real estate developer in the White House. Now President-elect Donald J. Trump has picked Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon with no housing experience, as his nominee for secretary of Housing and Urban Development — and high anxiety has set in. As The Times’s Mid-Atlantic bureau chief, I have spent a lot of time in Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia, which are all run by Democrats. In those cities, and many others across the country, housing concerns are deeply intertwined with other poverty-related issues, including racial tensions with the police. To explore how a Trump-Carson housing agenda might play out, I reached out to two Philadelphia mayors — Jim Kenney, the incumbent, and Michael Nutter, his predecessor — and two housing experts, one in Philadelphia and one here in Washington. Here are some of their thoughts: First, a primer: What does HUD do, anyway? Broadly speaking, HUD devotes itself to ensuring that families of low-income and modest means have access to safe homes and neighborhoods. It runs the Federal Housing Administration, which helps people get home loans."

RELATED: Healthy Sex: The Ultimate Guide Orgasm in Women: What Happens, Exactly? When women do climax, \"\"there are changes throughout the whole body, a head-to-toe kind of experience,\"\" says Michael Ingber, MD, a physician in urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the Atlantic Health System in Morristown, New Jersey, and a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. RELATED: Better Sex: How to Enhance Intimate Sexual Experiences How Women Achieve Orgasm One of the ways women can experience orgasm is through a goal-oriented four-step process first described by the sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson decades ago.1. Excitement In this state of desire or arousal, the woman initiates or agrees to sex, and as it commences she finds herself focusing mainly on sexual stimuli. Blood begins to engorge the clitoris, vagina, and nipples, and creates a full-body sexual blush. Heart rate and blood pressure increases. Testosterone and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin are involved in these processes, says Dr. Ingber.2. Plateau Sexual tension builds as a precursor to orgasm."

A pulley is a wheel with two raised edges. The raised edges are so that a rope or a string will run along the wheel without coming off. We also call a pulley a block and tackle. Because there are no wheels in nature, there are also no pulleys. Possibly Archimedes invented pulleys in ancient Sicily, about 250 BC. ( But Archimedes gets credit for a lot of things that earlier people invented, just because we don’t know the names of earlier inventors. So maybe not.) Anyway somebody invented pulleys around that time."

Hormone Testing Support Progesterone Levels How to use progesterone Cream Progesterone & Miscarriage Progesterone & PCOSProgesterone & Endometriosis Progesterone during Pregnancy Summary and Q&AHormonal Balance is an important factor when it comes to healthy fertility and getting pregnant. During the course of a menstrual cycle various hormones are working together in a complex symphony to trigger the components of ovulation and menstruation. Progesterone is one of these key hormones. After ovulation progesterone production is triggered by Luteinizing Hormone (LH) which stimulates the corpus luteum (the remnant egg sac) in the ovary to produce progesterone. One of the main actions of progesterone with fertility is to help support a developing embryo. If pregnancy occurs, the production of progesterone from the corpus luteum continues for about 7 weeks (it is then produced by the placenta for the duration of the pregnancy). If pregnancy did not occur, the period begins 14 days after ovulation. When fertilization does not occur the corpus luteum disintegrates, which causes the level of progesterone to fall and the endometrial tissue to break-down and shed as menstruation.

There is some scientific evidence that tea tree oil can be effective for certain skin conditions. It is poisonous if swallowed and so should not be used in or around the mouth at all. The Full Story Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of an Australian tree called Melaleuca alternifolia. It is an essential oil with a long history of use as a natural remedy for skin ailments and other conditions. Unfortunately, sometimes \"\"natural\"\" is confused with \"\"non-toxic\"\" or \"\"non-poisonous\"\". Tea tree oil, like many other \"\"natural\"\" substances, can indeed be poisonous if used in the wrong way, especially if swallowed. In 2011, Poison Control received nearly twice as many calls about tea tree oil than any other named essential oil, including cinnamon oil, clove oil, and eucalyptus oil. More than 10 percent of people exposed to tea tree oil were treated in a hospital or doctor's office. Tea tree oil is sold as a pure essential oil, in over-the-counter and herbal remedies for skin conditions, and as an ingredient in household cleaning products."

The average tuition for a private nonprofit four-year institution including room and board is $40,917, a 14% five year percentage change. Public institutions cost $18,391 a year, a 20% increase from the previous five years. While grade schooling is provided by the government and paid for by taxes, parents of means do have the option of sending their children to elite private schools.

They look like a huge gray blanket that hangs low in the sky. Sometimes stratus clouds are on the ground or very near the ground, and then we call them fog. Usually stratus clouds and fog form when it has been cold out and then warmer, wet air blows in. As the warm air flows over the cold ground or over the cold air near the ground, the water vapor in the warm air condenses into drops of water that make a cloud. How thick the cloud is depends on how wet the air is and how big the difference in temperature between the cold air and the warm air is. Strato-cumulus cloud (from NASA)Clouds can be a mixture of two types at the same time, so you can also get strato-cumulus clouds or strato-nimbus clouds. A strato-nimbus cloud is a stratus cloud that has rain falling out of it. A strato-cumulus cloud is a stratus cloud that covers the whole sky, but is still puffy like a cumulus cloud."

Professor Emerita is the title given to a female professor who has retired in honorable standing but still keeps the title of “professor” she held directly before retirement. Emerita is the female form of emeritus. Although universities once considered it standard practice to call a retired professor--male or female--of good standing a professor emeritus, an increasing number of universities now use the title professor emerita to refer to a retired female professor and the title professor emeritus for retired males: for example, Mary Smith, Professor Emerita from Andover College. It's In The Name The adjective \"\"emerita” is derived from a Latin word meaning \"\"to earn through service.\"\" A professor emerita is also called \"\"emerita professor,\"\" a slightly less formal term. Although certain traditional universities resisted the shift to professor emerita, the rise of feminism prompted many professionals of all kinds to re-think their vocabulary and to signal the difference between male and female. In general, university style guides across the U.

Q: How should you use progesterone if you are trying to conceive? A: The basic rule is to follow the instructions on the bottle. You want to mimic your natural cycle as much as possible. For most uses you would begin to use progesterone by using this calculation: Figure out the first day of your period. Subtract two weeks. That day would be the first day you start using the progesterone cream. The general suggested use for progesterone cream is 40mg of cream daily, applied in a split dose, 20mg in the morning and 20mg in the evening during the two weeks before your period. If actively trying to conceive, it is best to test for pregnancy before stopping progesterone cream a day or two before the expected period. Progesterone cream should be continued if pregnancy is confirmed while using it (with the guidance of your healthcare provider)."

Corn has lots of carbohydrates, but not as much protein as wheat or barley. Corn also has some vitamins, especially Vitamin B and Vitamin C. Farming corn: 7500 BCPeople first began to farm corn (instead of picking it wild) around 7,500 BC in Mexico, a little later than they started to farm squash and avocados. Gradually people bred the corn plants to have more and more corn – bigger ears, with more kernels, and easier to eat – and fewer leaves. Soon – about 6000 BC – their southern neighbors in Ecuador were growing corn too. By about 1 AD, the Pueblo people in North America also grew corn. Corn tortillas, tamales, polenta, and popcorn Corn history: Teosinte People ate corn fresh when it ripened in summertime, by roasting or boiling the ears, or by making popcorn. But mostly they dried the kernels and crushed them into cornmeal, and then used the cornmeal to make tacos or tortillas. They filled the tacos with bean mush and vegetables. That way you could store the corn and eat it all year round."

"text": "Quora User, ♥ Women's health advocate for over a decade. Answered Jul 4, 2015 · Author has 544 answers and 2.8m answer views You say you've tried different brands of tampons, but not different types of tampons or trying different types of menstrual products all together. What type of tampons do you use? Rayon tampons such as Tampax, Kotex, and Playtex are the worst in terms of vaginal health as they encourage higher levels of bacterial growth, cause more damage to vaginal tissues, and contain various ingredients that you may be allergic to. Try cotton tampons such as Cottons, Natracare, and Emerita as these are made from 100% organic cotton so are hypo-allergenic and less harmful to vaginal health. You may also want to try soft tampons like Beppy or sponge tampons like Sea Pearls. Better still would be to consider options like Softcupsor menstrual cups like Mooncup as these are far more hygienic than tampons, as well as many other benefits, so won't cause any issues. What type of pads do you use? It shouldn't need to be said, but to be clear: it's not hygienic or safe to use tampons throughout your period - you need to use pads with light flow, overnight, and ideally alternate with pads as much as possible to allow your vagina a chance to clean and heal after tampon use. Certain types of pads will make a difference, commercial pads like Always or Kotex are made from synthetics and plastic backed so prevent air-flow which makes you sweaty and stops blood drying so creates the perfect environment for bacteria and yeast to thrive."

"text": "Loan-To-Cost Ratio - LTCBy Investopedia Staff What is 'Loan-To-Cost Ratio - LTC'The loan-to-cost (LTC) ratio is a metric used in commercial real estate construction used to compare the financing of a project as offered by a loan to the cost of building the project. The LTC ratio allows commercial real estate lenders to determine the risk of offering a construction loan. Similar to the LTC ratio, the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio compares the construction loan amount to the fair-market value of the project. BREAKING DOWN 'Loan-To-Cost Ratio - LTC'The LTC ratio is used to calculate the percentage of a loan or the amount that a lender is willing to provide to finance a project based on the hard cost of the construction budget. After the construction has been completed, the entire project will have a new value. For this reason, the LTC ratio and the LTV ratio are used side by side in commercial real estate construction. Example Assume that the hard construction cost of a commercial real estate project is $200,000. To ensure that the borrower has some equity at stake in the project, the lender provides a $160,000 loan. This keeps the project slightly more balanced and encourages the borrower to see the project through. The LTC ratio on this project is 80%."

Stocks that pay dividends monthly provide more predictable income and make it easier to budget, especially for those living off dividends in retirement. Most companies pay dividends on a quarterly schedule, which can result in a lumpier income stream. Monthly dividend stocks better match income with monthly expenses such as mortgage and utility payments to make budgeting easier. Monthly dividend-paying stocks come with another potential benefit as well – faster compounding. Simply put, the more often we receive dividends, the faster we can reinvest to buy more shares and generate even more dividend income. Stocks that pay monthly dividends allow us to potentially increase the number of shares we own at a faster pace than a company paying quarterly dividends, helping dividend income compound at a faster rate. However, remaining focused on owning blue chip dividend stocks with safe, growing dividends and reasonable valuations is most important, regardless of a company’s payout schedule. Different Types of Monthly Dividend Stocks Over 400 companies and funds in our database pay dividends monthly. Despite the large number of monthly dividend stocks, most of these companies fall into just a handful of industries."

In this review the pharmacist is to validate that the resident’s drug regimen is free of unnecessary drugs.2. Psychotropic Drug Requirements“Antipsychotic” drugs are now referred to as “psychotropic” drugs, which are defined as any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior.

"text": "\"People have become increasingly aware of how easily long-term care (LTC) for seniors can wipe out a lifetime's savings -- and insurance companies have been quick to capitalize on that fear. Long-term care insurance, also known as nursing home insurance, has been widely advertised as protection against the costs of long-term care, particularly residential nursing facilities. However, this kind of insurance is expensive, and it often provides only limited benefits -- with many restrictions and conditions -- that may end up covering only a small percentage, or nothing at all, of your total long-term care costs. Related Products MOREEvery Californian's Guide to Estate Planning Make Your Own Living Trust The Executor's Guide Online Will Insurance companies market long-term care insurance by suggesting that consumers are likely to wind up spending years in a nursing facility -- a prospect that would wipe out their savings and perhaps leave them without a roof over their heads. However, the actual odds of a long nursing facility stay are considerably lower than the insurance industry would like you to imagine, and with the protection afforded by Medicaid laws, there is virtually no risk of being thrown out of a nursing facility and into the street. When you consider the true odds of a long nursing facility stay along with the high cost of LTC insurance and the other things you could do with that premium money, you may find that for you -- as for the 95% of the population over age 65 who have not invested in it -- LTC insurance is not a good bet. Nonetheless, there are some people -- for example, those who have assets worth $300,000 to $500,000 above and beyond the value of their homes -- for whom LTC insurance may be a sound idea. This is particularly true if LTC insurance is viewed as a safety net rather than as a financial investment -- and if your policy includes coverage for assisted living facilities. When Do People Buy Long-Term Care Insurance? Those who buy long-term care insurance make the purchase at a median age of 65."

For example, on average, nursing facilities providing skilled care charge $150 to $300 per day – more than $80,000 per year or more. Custodial home care at three visits per week can cost more than $9,000 each year. Most LTC insurance policies will cover only a specific dollar amount for each day you spend in a nursing facility or for each home-care visit. Thus, when considering an LTC insurance policy, read the policies carefully and compare the benefits to determine which policy will best meet your own needs. Full home care coverage is an option for LTC insurance and will pay for home care from the first day it is needed. It will cover expenses for a visiting or live-in caregiver, companion, housekeeper, therapist or private duty nurse up to seven days a week, 24 hours per day, up to the policy benefit maximum. Many experts suggest shopping for LTC insurance between the ages of 45 and 55, as part of an overall retirement plan to protect assets from the high costs and burdens of extended health care."

We do a fall risk assessment on all patients on admission, daily and prn. If a pt is a high fall risk, we have to implement all of the high risk measures according to our protocol. As far as charting goes, we have a spot on our safety rounds form to indicate the patient's fall risk and the fall risk prevention measures in place including bed alarms or chair alarms. We do not need to write an order for any of the protocol measures. Nov 21, '07I find this discussion interesting, because at my wife's LTC facility the powers to be that are not involved in the pt daily care mandated that ALL alarms of ANY type be removed, because they are a form of restraint and are not of the best interest to the pt.

Custodial care for an individual is recommended by an authorized medical personnel, but providers of custodial care are not required to be medical professionals. Next Up Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance Group-Home Care Accountable Care Organizations Health Insurance BREAKING DOWN 'Custodial Care'Some people with certain medical, physical, or mental conditions are unable to perform activities of daily living on their own, and require assistance. These activities, such as eating, using the toilet, bathing, getting dressed or out of bed, moving around, etc. can reasonably and safely be provided by caregivers with no medical or nursing training. Beneficiaries who are in the care of nonmedical aides are said to be in custodial care. Custodial care differs from skilled care which can only be provided by or under the supervision of licensed and trained medical professionals. A beneficiary in need of skilled care can be someone who is undergoing physical therapy, recovering from an accident, in need of intravenous injections, or who requires catheter care, etc. Custodial care is a form of long-term care (LTC) that can be done within a nursing facility or at home. Most custodial care needs can be met by either in-home caregivers or assisted living aides."

"text": "Director of Nursing (DON) Jobs: Giving You an Opportunity to Use Your Strengths and Experience to Make a Difference in Long Term Care Recent reports place nursing near the top of the nation’s most rapidly growing career fields. In fact, the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is forecasting a 22 percent upsurge in demand for qualified health care professionals over the course of the coming decade. Though this higher-than-average growth spans the entire industry, perhaps the greatest demand lies in the long-term care sector. From post-injury rehabilitation to end-of-life and geriatric care, a growing gap is forming in this branch of the medical field. Nurses in these types of environments face a number of challenges, but as a Director of Nursing (DON) in Long Term Care (LTC), you could be part of the solution. What LTC Director of Nursing Jobs Entail Working in a nursing home, continuing care retirement community or other similar setting, Directors of Nursing are second in charge of the facilities in which they’re employed. You’d be responsible for a number of factors, answering only to the facility administrator. While the exact job description varies a bit based on the size of the center, its overall purpose and other elements, you’re likely to be accountable for: Interviewing and hiring new personnel Managing staff members and departments Scheduling ongoing training for members of your staff Ordering supplies Setting up maintenance, repairs and other services for the facility Creating a budget and holding departments responsible for adhering to it Conducting staff performance reviews Ensuring patients receive the best care possible Acting as an intermediary for the facility and patients Assessing patient acuity and allocating staff accordingly Guaranteeing compliance to federal, state and local regulations for the type of facility with which you’re employed Covering the duties of the facility’s head administrator in the event of his or her absence You’ll be an advocate for the facility and members of your staff as well as patients and their families. Taking to heart the needs of everyone involved and relaying those to the proper authorities whether they be patients’ family members, nurses, aides, caregivers, housekeeping, nutritional services, or other stakeholders is a key component in long term care nursing director jobs. The facility’s medical care will essentially be in your hands, and it’ll be your responsibility to ensure it runs smoothly."

S is oftentimes prohibitive and can range widely, from around $5,000 per month up to a whopping $25,000 per month. How much a nursing home charges depends on its geographic location, staffing levels, any specialty care offered and the facility's size and quality. A facility with a special wing for Alzheimer's and dementia residents, for example, may charge more for that special care. When you discuss fees with facility staff, be sure to ask how often, and by how much, those rates have risen in recent years to get an idea of what you can expect. Note: Skilled nursing care is different from rehabilitation care. The nursing home care discussed here is long-term, nonmedical residential care for someone who can no longer live on his or her own. That's different from acute, short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation care that usually follows a hospitalization or a specific injury or severe illness. That kind of acute care is provided only at specially licensed skilled nursing or rehabilitation facilities and generally is paid for through Medicare and other types of health insurance. ( Some long-term care nursing homes listed in this directory also have skilled nursing or rehabilitation wings. ) What follows are some more options that may be available to help pay for your loved one's long-term nursing home care:1."

A tough question for most people, \"\"Should I buy it?\"\" There is a variety of perspectives to take when answering the loaded question. One perspective; long-term care insurance is expensive, retirees face a small chance that long-term care needs and costs could eat up savings in a short amount of time. If a person decides against investing in a long-term care insurance policy, alternatives are to reserve a large sum of money like a savings account slotted to cover such expenses. Another choice is to use home equity, rely on family, friends or government assistance. As the population continues to age, and future retirees have fewer children to depend on, long-term-care needs represent an important societal issue. Costs for care continue to rise faster than inflation due to a shortage of caregivers. A person's choice of whether to invest in a long-term care insurance policy is strictly personal."

It’s not hard to see the appeal of a monthly dividend, particularly if you are retired and living off your investments. Your expenses—including everything from house and car payments to your utilities and mobile phone bill—are almost always on a monthly cycle, whereas most income-producing investments pay quarterly or semiannually. A monthly dividend makes basic budgeting and planning a whole lot easier. But let’s say that you’re still years from retirement. A monthly dividend is still preferable because, if you reinvest your dividends in new shares, your share count will grow faster, speeding up the process of compounding. This matters very little over the course of a single month. But over an investing lifetime, it can have an outsized effect on your returns."

Within Equidae, Equus is the only recognized extant genus, comprising seven living species. The term equine refers to any member of this genus, including horses. Like Equidae more broadly, Equus has numerous extinct species known only from fossils. The genus most likely originated in North America and spread quickly to the Old World. Equines are odd-toed ungulates with slender legs, long heads, relatively long necks, manes (erect in most subspecies) and long tails. All species are herbivorous, and mostly grazers with simpler digestive systems than ruminants but able to subsist on lower quality vegetation. While the domestic horse and donkey (along with their feral descendants) exist worldwide, wild equine populations are limited to Africa and Asia. Wild equine social systems come in two forms; a harem system with tight-knit groups consisting of one adult male or stallion, several females or mares and their young or foals; and a territorial system where males establish territories with resources that attract females, which associate very fluidly."

This development took place over the course of at least 55 million years and covered at least five sub-periods of geologic time. Paleontologist Kathleen Hunt has suggested the following evolutionary tree, with the major development path in copper lines and the geologic periods highlighted. EOCENE, 55 to 38 million years ago Fifty-five million years is a long time, but it is nothing compared to the scope of geologic time. It is estimated that the Earth settled down to its present size between 4 and 5 billion (that’s Billion with a B) years ago! Earliest life forms developed about 2 billion years ago. The earliest fossilized fishes date about half a billion (or 500 million) years ago. So, horse ancestors were relative latecomers, appearing around 55 million years ago. This time period was known as the Eocene epoch of the Tertiary period. In the Western Hemisphere, current mountain ranges, like the Rockies, were just finishing being thrust up."

So far I can only think of steed. I can use words such as farmyard animal but I'm stuck on coming up with these words too. Follow 19 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Equine is an adjective that makes reference to a horse. The noun forms for horse are equus or equid, and the plural for either of these nouns is equidae. Equidae are members of the horse family, including horses, ponies, zebras, mules and donkeys and related extinct mammals. Cheval is French for horse, caballo is Spanish for horse, and.caballus is a Latin noun for horse, and the anncient Greek noun for horse was ippos (with h added later to form hippos for river horse) You can refer to your horse as your \"\"mount\"\" or \"\"steed\"\", or differentiate by gender and age. A mare is an adult female horse, and a filly is an immature female. A stallion is an adult male horse, and a colt is an immature male, although in the past it was fairly common to refer to immature horses of both sexes as colts."

It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior. Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger horses tending to sleep significantly more than adults.

[ 1]Shaffer was inspired to write Equus when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk. [ 2] He set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any of the details of the crime. The play's action is something of a detective story, involving the attempts of the child psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart to understand the cause of the boy's actions while wrestling with his own sense of purpose. [ 3]The original stage production ran at the National Theatre in London between 1973 and 1975, directed by John Dexter. Alec Mc Cowen played Dysart, and Peter Firth played Alan Strang. Later came the Broadway productions that starred Anthony Hopkins as Dysart (later played by Richard Burton, Leonard Nimoy, and Anthony Perkins) and from the London production, Peter Firth as Alan. When Firth left for Broadway, Dai Bradley took over the role of Alan in the London production, playing opposite Michael Jayston as Dr. Dysart. [ 4] Tom Hulce replaced Firth during the Broadway run.

The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries. A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; [3] [4] [5] a young donkey is a foal. [ 5] Jack donkeys are often used to mate with female horses to produce mules; the biological \"\"reciprocal\"\" of a mule, from a stallion and jenny as its parents instead, is called a hinny. Asses were first domesticated around 3000 BC, probably in Egypt or Mesopotamia, [6] [7] and have spread around the world."

A number of hypotheses exist on many of the key issues regarding the domestication of the horse. Although horses appeared in Paleolithic cave art as early as 30,000 BCE, these were wild horses and were probably hunted for meat. How and when horses became domesticated is disputed. The clearest evidence of early use of the horse as a means of transport is from chariot burials dated c. 2000 BCE. However, an increasing amount of evidence supports the hypothesis that horses were domesticated in the Eurasian Steppes approximately 3500 BCE; [1] [2] [3] recent discoveries in the context of the Botai culture suggest that Botai settlements in the Akmola Province of Kazakhstan are the location of the earliest domestication of the horse.

Some zoologists define \"\"domestication\"\" as human control over breeding, which can be detected in ancient skeletal samples by changes in the size and variability of ancient horse populations. Other researchers look at broader evidence, including skeletal and dental evidence of working activity; weapons, art, and spiritual artifacts; and lifestyle patterns of human cultures."

The Shire has a great capacity for weight-pulling, and has been popular throughout its history for pulling brewer's drays delivering ale to customers. The horses may also be used for forestry, for riding and for commercial promotion. In 1878, the British organisation now known as the Shire Horse Society was created, with the American Shire Horse Association beginning in 1885. The breed was exported from Britain to the United States in large numbers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but popularity fell as mechanisation increased, reaching a low point in the 1950s and 1960s.

Credit: Mogens Trolle | Shutterstock Zebras are single-hoofed animals that are native to Africa. Zebras are very closely related to horses and donkeys; in fact, they are in the same genus, Equus. The most prominent feature of zebras is the bold patterns on their coats. Zebras are generally thought to have white coats with black or brown stripes, according to the San Diego Zoo, because the stripes end at their bellies and the inner side of the legs, which are white. However, zebras have black skin under their white coats!Each species of zebra has a different general pattern of stripes. The Grevy's zebra has very thin stripes. The mountain zebra has vertical stripes on its neck and torso, but horizontal stripes on its haunches. Some subspecies of plains zebras have brownish \"\"shadow\"\" stripes between the black stripes, according to the San Diego Zoo.

Figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, and allusions go beyond the literal meanings of the words to give readers new insights. On the other hand, alliterations, imageries, or onomatopoeias are figurative devices that appeal to the senses of the readers. Figurative language can appear in multiple forms with the use of different literary and rhetorical devices. According to Merriam Webster’s Encyclopedia, figurative language has five different forms: Understatement or Emphasis Relationship or Resemblance Figures of Sound Errors and Verbal Games Types of Figurative Language The term figurative language covers a wide range of literary devices and techniques, a few of which include: Simile Metaphor Personification Onomatopoeia Oxymoron Hyperbole Allusion Idiom Imagery Symbolism Alliteration Assonance Consonance Metonymy Synecdoche Irony Sarcasm Litotes Pun Anaphora Tautology Understatement Short Examples of Figurative Language Similes His friend is as black as coal.

"text": "In Defense of the Figurative Use of Literally Charles Dickens Recently the wordsmiths of the United States have availed themselves once again to decry the figurative use of the word literally. This particular spate of analysis finds its origins in a Reddit post titled, “We did it guys, we finally killed English,” which featured an image of Google’s definition for the word. Since that popular post, journalists and language experts have added their voices to the loudening din. The Reddit poster puts the blame for killing English on all of us, the living, but in the wake of public outrage, language experts have pointed out that this sense of literally is nothing new. Let’s trace the history of this meandering adverb. The word literally originally meant “related to letters” as in this passage from 1689: “and in the Hebrew the words are literally, The King of Moab, the first .” Around the same time, the word began to be used interchangeably with “actually.” In 1698, Puritan preacher Jonathan Edwards remarked, “then these things which he affirmed of himself were not literally true, but only figuratively .” By 1839, when Charles Dickens (pictured) wrote Nicholas Nickleby, the figurative sense (the sense that the reading public is up in arms about today) was embedded in the language: “his looks were very haggard, and his limbs and body literally worn to the bone…”Meaning inversion in words is not uncommon. Widespread usage of the word bad to mean “outstandingly excellent; first-rate” is one such example."

Everything we say has two layers of meaning: Literal – what the words actually mean Figurative – what we want them to mean That’s where the term ‘figure of speech’ comes from, a phrase where the intended meaning is different to the actual meaning of the words. For example, the literal meaning of hop in the bath is to hop while in the bath but the figurative meaning is get into the bath. Literal thinkers focus on the actual meaning of words and phrases, and have a difficult time identifying or understanding the second, figurative layer of meaning. This can obviously be a big barrier to communication. The problem is that we tend to use a lot of figurative speech in our everyday language. This can be really difficult for a literal mind to interpret which causes stress, confusion, misunderstandings and hurt feelings.idiomseuphemismssarcasmmetaphorspunshyperbole We are often unaware just how frequently we use these types of speech or how much we rely on others to understand the figurative meaning of what we say. Why do some people focus on the literal meaning?

Answer by Cmcnaught Confidence votes 10.1KIn science, uncertainty refers to the precision of your measurements. No matter what instrument you use the last figure you write down is the figure with the uncertainty. A burette is carefully manufactured to measure volume but the manufacture knows that there will be some uncertainty - the burette can be read with confidence to with in 0.1 m L. That means that the volume reading 25.3 ± 0.1 m L is correct. When a calculation is done with this volume the uncertainty is converted to a percentage uncertainty. The scientist understands that every measurement has some uncertainty in it and this uncertainty is contained in any answer. When the answer is written down it must take account of the uncertainty of the measurements. When calculating the calculator may have 8 figures in the answer but these figures are meaningless if the the starting figures were uncertain after the 3rd figure. I'm not entirely certain.32 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

By Bella Pope Share Tweet Pin It If a girl has ever called you “cute,” have you wondered what does it mean when a girl calls you cute? If you’re confused, decipher what she means!I’m not going to lie, girls are confusing—and I am one! Sometimes it’s even hard for me to decipher what another girl is trying to say. I understand when guys are completely clueless when it comes to trying to figuring out what does it mean when a girl calls you cute. Sometimes, girls don’t even know what they mean! That may sound confusing, but sometimes girls say something in a certain way and then don’t realize that they’ve made it seem like they mean a certain thing, when they actually mean the opposite. Reading body language to decode a girl’s thoughts Sometimes, trying to figure out what a girl means is completely useless. You spend hours trying to figure it out, but without asking her there’s almost no hope of knowing what she meant. However, you can read her body language to get some indication of what she may mean."

Practice different ways of placing emphasis to get the most meaning. ( Poetry is a spoken art; it needs the human voice, your voice, to really live. ) All of the following can be part of a written explication, depending on the poem. Let the poem dictate to you. The extra dimension of poetry is in its insistence that meaning cannot be divorced from form. The purpose of an explication is to show, for an individual poem, how this is true.

Multilingualism may indeed be a fact of life, as Edwards maintains above, and people use the term freely, but what exactly is meant by it? The definition of multilingualism as used here centres on the practice of using more than one language, to varying degrees of proficiency, among individuals and societies. It includes individuals who use one language at home, and another (or others) outside the home; it means people who have equal ability in two or three languages; it includes people who can function much better in one language but who can still communicate in another (or other) language (s); it refers to societies and nation-states who use more than one language in a variety of situations to varying degrees. Basically, multilingualism is the co-existence of more than one language in any given situation, which, according to Guadelupe Valdés, writing on the Linguistic Society of America website, is actually the norm for most people and not the exception: Contrary to what is often believed, most of the world’s population is bilingual or multilingual. Monolingualism is characteristic only of a minority of the world’s peoples."

Hudson, Leslie High, and Stephanie Al Otaiba Developmental dyslexia and how it relates to brain function are complicated topics that researchers have been studying since dyslexia was first described over a hundred years ago. W. Pringle Morgan (cited in Shaywitz, 1996), a doctor in Sussex, England, described the puzzling case of a boy in the British Medical Journal: \"\"Percy … aged 14 … has always been a bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age. His great difficulty has been – and is now – his inability to read\"\" (p. 98). Almost every teacher in the United States has at least one student who could fit the same description written so many years ago. This situation leads many school personnel to wonder why their articulate, clearly bright student has so many problems with what appears to be a simple task – reading a text that everyone else seems to easily comprehend. Having information about the likely explanation for and potential cause of the student's difficulties often relieves teachers' fears and uncertainties about how to teach the student and how to think about providing instruction that is relevant and effective. Current research on dyslexia and the brain provide the most up-to-date information available about the problems faced by over 2.8 million school-aged children. When talking with teachers about their students who struggle with reading, we have encountered similar types of questions from teachers. They often wonder, What is dyslexia?"

Process analysis writing can take one of two forms: Information about how something works ( informative)An explanation of how to do something ( directive ). An informative process analysis is usually written in the third-person point of view; a directive process analysis is usually written in the second person. In both forms, the steps are typically organized in chronological order --that is, the order in which the steps are carried out. Examples and Observations Planning a good process analysis requires the writer to include all the essential steps. Be sure you have all the tools or ingredients needed. Arrange the steps in the correct sequence. Like all good writing, a process essay requires a thesis to tell the reader the significance of the process.

The ancient Greeks described history as an endless cycle of events, perpetually moving but never arriving. Like the Greeks, modern man drifts anchorless through life, experiencing and responding to each circumstance as it appears on the horizon but never really getting anywhere. For the Christian, however, every event—past, present, and future—moves toward a goal. Nothing is aimless; God causes all things to work together to accomplish His purpose (Romans 8:28). To explain this concept, the New Testament uses the Greek telos, meaning “end, goal, result, completion, fulfillment. ”History moves, not in circles, but straight toward the “end of all things” (I Peter 4:7; Matthew 24:14). It marches toward the climax of time—toward the complete fulfillment of God’s purposes. When mankind finally nears the finish line, it will find that the end is not a place, but a Person."

Thus a sacramental name became a sign and seal of an established covenant between God and the recipient of such a name. Two Bible characters bearing sacramental names are Abraham and Sarah, both of which signify the gracious purposes and promises of God. The wife of the patriarch was originally known as Sarai, meaning “princely” or “a princess.” Elsdon C. Smith suggests it may signify “contentious” or “quarrelsome,” but was changed, not accidentally, or by the whim of the bearer, but by God Himself that it might be a sign of His purpose, into Sarah, implying the princess, a princess or princesses, the source of nations and kings. Sarah or “chieftainness,” the feminine of Sar, meaning a “captain” or “commander” is repeatedly used in this sense as a common noun as, for instance, by Isaiah who renders it “queen” ( Isaiah 49:23 ). It has been observed that among ancient Jews there was a sort of a cabalistic translation that “the Hebrew letter yod signifies the creative power of God in nature, while the letter hay symbolizes the state of grace—that state into which Sarah had entered after receiving the covenanted promises.” The promise of ancestorship of many nations came with the change of the name of Sarai to Sarah. “ I will bless her and she shall become nations.” She was thus associated with her husband in the great blessing of the covenant whose name was also changed from Abram to Abraham."

They influenced him strongly when he later founded a school for needy children. Milton S. Hershey was born Sept. 13, 1857, shortly before the American Civil War on a farm in Central Pennsylvania. Like most of the people whom he knew, he was the descendant of people who had come to Pennsylvania from Switzerland and Germany in the 1700s. He grew up speaking the “Pennsylvania Dutch” dialect and inherited from these people characteristics such as a zest for hard work, diligence, and thriftiness. Both sides of his family were originally Mennonite. As to schooling, Mr. Hershey had very little. He attended several schools as his family moved from their original home in Derry Township to Lancaster County, but his mother did not seem to emphasize learning. In fact, she felt that books would ruin her son. Although Hershey became successful without the benefit of a good education, the fact that, later on, he insisted the boys in his school have a “sound education” gives the impression that he felt the lack of it in himself."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Venus Verticordia - Dante Gabriel Rossetti - 1866Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical or forbidden fruit. One of the problems identifying apples in religion, mythology and folktales is that as late as the 17th century, the word \"\"apple\"\" was used as a generic term for all (foreign) fruit other than berries, but including nuts. [ 1] This term may even have extended to plant galls, as they were thought to be of plant origin (see oak apple ). For instance, when tomatoes were introduced into Europe, they were called \"\"love apples\"\". In one Old English work, cucumbers are called eorþæppla (lit. \"\" earth-apples'), just as in French, Dutch, Hebrew, Afrikaans, Persian and Swiss German as well as several other German dialects, the words for potatoes mean \"\"earth-apples\"\" in English. In some languages, oranges are called \"\"golden apples\"\" or \"\"Chinese apples\"\". Datura is called 'thorn-apple\"\". Ethnobotanical and ethnomycological scholars such as R. Gordon Wasson, Carl Ruck and Clark Heinrich write that the mythological apple is a symbolic substitution for the entheogenic Amanita muscaria (or fly agaric) mushroom. Its association with knowledge is an allusion to the revelatory states described by some shamans and users of psychedelic mushrooms. ["

Hamlet kills laertes because ..1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Because Laertes wants to Kill Hamlet.... during their fight, Hamlet just beats him to it and wins Tee · 6 years ago0 2 Comment It was a popular trope at the time used in lots of the 'Revenge' tragedies for example the \"\"Duchess of Malfi\"\". Hamlet begins with the ghost of Hamlet's father telling of his own poisoning so having Hamlet, Laertes and Gertrude all die from poison neatly rounds the play off. Claudius is fitly stabbed by Hamlet who thus achieves formal revenge. The poison at the heart of the Kingdom having been drawn the clean, manly future is announced by the trumpets heralding the arrival of young Fortinbras. Dennie · 2 years ago0 0 Comment Hamlet did not intend to kill Laertes. It was supposed to be a friendly duel, but Laertes had secretly poisoned the tip of his foil. As soon as Laertes scored a hit (a tiny cut) on Hamlet, Hamlet was doomed. However it took a few minutes for the poison to take effect. Hamlet, not knowing he'd been poisoned, continued to fence."

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD. This points to another mode of building up a house, namely, by leaving descendants to keep our name and family alive upon the earth. Without this what is a man's purpose in accumulating wealth! To what purpose does he build a house if he has none in his household to hold the house after him? What boots it that he is the possessor of broad acres if he has no heir? Yet in this matter a main is powerless without the Lord. The great Napoleon, with all his sinful care on this point, could not create a dynasty. Hundreds of wealthy persons would give half their estates if they could hear the cry of a babe born of their own bodies. Children are a heritage which Jehovah himself must give, or a man will die childless, and thus his house will be unbuilt."

"text": "\"There is no possibility of touching upon the subject of death and burial, and the conditions under which funerals should be conducted, without hurting some one's feelings. The Duke of Sutherland's attempt in England to do away with the dreadful shape which causes a shudder to all who have lost a friend that of the coffin--was called irreverent, because he suggested that the dead should be buried in wicker-work baskets, with fern-leaves for shrouds, so that the poor clay might the more easily return to mother earth. Those who favor cremation suffer again a still more frantic disesteem; and yet every one deplores the present gloomy apparatus and dismal observances of our occasions of mourning. Death is still to the most Christian and resigned heart a very terrible fact, a shock to all who live, and its surroundings, do what we will, are painful. \"\" I smell the mould above the rose,\"\" says Hood, in his pathetic lines on his daughter's death. Therefore, we have a difficulty to contend with in the wearing of black, which is of itself, to begin with, negatory of our professed belief in the resurrection. We confess the logic of despair when we drape ourselves in its gloomy folds. The dress which we should wear, one would think, might be blue, the color of the sky, or white, in token of light which the redeemed soul has reached. Custom, which makes slaves of us all, has decreed that we shall wear black, as a mark of respect to those we have lost, and as a shroud for ourselves, protesting against the gentle ministration of light and cheerfulness with which our Lord ever strives to reach us. This is one side of the question; but, again, one word as to its good offices."

"text": "January 1, 1995The Marks of a Spiritual Leader Article by John Piper Founder & Teacher, desiring God.org This lengthy article is now available as a booklet published by Desiring God in paperback, and free of charge in three electronic formats. I define spiritual leadership as knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to use God’s methods to get them there in reliance on God’s power. The answer to where God wants people to be is in a spiritual condition and in a lifestyle that display his glory and honor his name. “Spiritual leadership is using God’s methods to get his people where he wants them in reliance on his power. ”Therefore, the goal of spiritual leadership is that people come to know God and to glorify him in all that they do. Spiritual leadership is aimed not so much at directing people as it is at changing people. If we would be the kind of leaders we ought to be, we must make it our aim to develop persons rather than dictate plans. You can get people to do what you want, but if they don’t change in their heart, you have not led them spiritually. You have not taken them to where God wants them to be. Everyone has the responsibility of leadership in some relationships."

A garage that faces the street (especially a large two- or three-car garage) can take up a lot of visual real estate. If your garage doors are in poor shape, clash with the style of your home or are just uninspired, replacing them can greatly increase your home’s curb appeal. Here are the need-to-know facts about updating your garage doors, covering style, cost and more. Saussy Burbank Updating your garage doors can enhance your home’s curb appeal, and in the case of attached garages, make your home more secure. Best time to do this project: Since it is outdoor work, it is ideal to replace garage doors during warm, dry weather. That said, unless you are painting or installing a more elaborate custom feature (like a pergola), the weather does not matter too much — as long as it’s not freezing and you’re not in the middle of a thunderstorm, your pro should be able to tackle the job in a few hours.

"text": "By Gene and Katie Hamilton Painting an old dented and nicked garage door is one upgrade that improves its appearance, but replacing an old door with a new one can turn heads in the neighborhood especially when the garage is at the front of the house and clearly visible. While you can hide a less than perfect garage door with your car parked in front of it, a new steel door is designed for years of daily use. When you shop, you’ll find a variety of styles and materials in today’s garage doors and find one to complement the architecture of your home that operates efficiently and effortlessly. A garage door company will replace a standard two-car garage door for $1,009, which includes a good quality steel door and its installation. You can buy the door for $630 and install it yourself, pocketing 37 percent, but it’s a lot of work. If you have carpentry experience, figure it will take you a solid day of work, longer if you're a beginner. Sure, you can replace a garage door, but we don't think you should. This is a job best left to an installer who does it every day and who has the experience to get it right the first time. It's not assembling the door panels and installing them that's tricky; it's the springs that provide the lift that opens the door, which are best left to a pro. If you decide to do the job it requires having a helper to remove the old door, hold up and install the new track and hardware, and last, but not least, lift and position the new door sections in place."

This price variation can be significant, regardless of manufacturer. Typical costs: A plain front entry door starts at about $50-$250, depending on size and materials, or $200-$700 with installation. More decorative and durable mid-range front doors can cost $200-$2,000, or $400-$3,000 with installation. A deluxe front door with double doors opening to the center and/or glass side panels and an overhead transom as well as decorative art glass and other stylish touches can cost $2,000-$8,000 for just the door materials, or $3,000-$12,000 or more with installation. Sliding glass doors (one fixed panel, one sliding; sometimes called gliding or bypass doors) start at about $300-$800 for a basic 5'-6' wide set, or $600-$2,000 with installation. More durable, energy efficient or decorative sliding glass doors 5'-8' wide can cost $1,000-$4,000, or $1,500-$5,000 or more with installation. A standard set of French doors (typically two doors that open to the center for a wide opening, with columns of small windows the full length of the doors) start at about $300 -$800 or $600 -$1,200 with installation. But expect to pay $1,000-$3,000 or more for a set of two mid- to high-end French doors that are more durable, decorative and/or energy-efficient, or $1,500-$4,500 or more with installation, depending on the age of the house, type of exterior and walls, and the complexity of the project. A hinged patio door (typically with a single large pane of glass, sometimes with an overlay creating the look of multiple panes of glass) starts at about $400-$900 but can cost $1,000-$4,000 or more depending on size, materials, style and options like built-in blinds, more energy-efficient glass or side panels of fixed glass."

"text": "\"How much does a residential garage door cost? Garaga offers many installed garage doors for less than $1000 but be aware that several components influence the purchase price. The factors that have an impact on the price of the door you plan to buy can be divided into 2 categories.1- The construction Size of the door The larger your door is, the more expensive it will be. But the rule \"\"twice as large = twice the cost\"\" isn’t necessarily true, since when a door is very wide, reinforcements must be added for strength. Hardware Factors such as the quality of the rollers for a long-lasting and quieter system, the guaranteed number of spring cycles (door openings & closings), the number of reinforcement struts on the door, and the system configuration (e.g. based on available headroom) influence the cost of buying a door. Often, an investment of less than $150 will gets you the best system available. Insulation The purchase of an insulated door should be considered an investment as it helps save energy. Door prices vary based on insulation value, which, in addition to the level of polyurethane or polystyrene insulation, can depend on the effectiveness of the weatherstripping system. The best quality weatherstripping from Garaga usually costs less than $75, a worthwhile investment that pays off in the winter.

Multicellular organisms (example: humans) are composed of many cells while unicellular organisms (example: bacteria) are composed of only one cell. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life. They are the smallest structures capable of surviving on their own. Cells come from pre-exsisting cells and cannot be created from non-living material. For example, new cells arise from cell division and a zygote (the very first cell formed when an organism is produced) arises from the fusion of an egg cell and a sperm cell.2.1.2 Discuss the evidence for the cell theory. When scientists started to look at the structures of organisms under the microscope they discovered that all living organisms where made up of these small units which they proceeded to call cells. When these cells were taken from tissues they were able to survive for some period of time."

Unicellular organisms are often considered simple creatures and are far less complex than most multicellular organisms. Examples of unicellular organisms include bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, etc. ), yeast (Candida), and amoebas. Multicellular organisms are made up of more than one cell (the prefix \"\"multi\"\" means many). Multicellular organisms are often composed of millions or trillions of cells (in the case of animals and humans) and are considered to be more advanced on an evolutionary scale.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Fungi (singular Fungus') are organisms and micro-organisms within the fungal kingdom. Fungi are not plants or animals, although they survive and grow by getting nutrients from decaying plants and animals. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesise (how plants get energy from sunlight and grow as a result). Fungi are important as they get nutrients back into the soil, and aid decomposition of plants. Various types of fungi can be eaten, as mushrooms (be careful though as some are poisonous and even deadly), or to make the yeast used in bread and beer. Other types can be used for medicinal reasons penicillin is a type of fungus. Not all fungi is good though, and certain types cause diseases and infections in humans (e.g. ringworm and athlete's foot) and plants.\\ Algae (singular Alga') are organisms which are like plants. They are not the same though as they so not have roots, stems and leaves. However, like plants and unlike fungi, they do use photosynthesis (explained above)."

The term organism is derived from the Greek word meaning an organ of sense. Organism Definition Back to Top There are many definitions for the term organism. It can be defined as a living individual, who develops their ability to perform its function independently and can react to the stimulus, reproduce, grow, metabolizing nutrients, etc. Based on their habituate and other characteristics, they are scientifically divided into five kingdoms, which include – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Organism Examples Back to Top Organisms can be unicellular or multicellular- virus, bacterium, fungus, plants and animals. Model Organism Back to Top A model organism can be defined as an organism or a species, which are mainly used for research purpose. There are only few selected model organism, such as drosophila, rats, mice from animal kingdom and Escherichia coli from prokaryotes, etc. These animals can be used to study the development, physiology and behavior."

Just as the telescope was a critical device for astronomers, the microscope was critical to the progress of biology. Although magnifying spectacles (glasses, sort of) have been in widespread use since the 1300s, the use of lenses to see very tiny objects was a slowly-developing technology. First of all, the tinier an object is, the less light reflects off it, and seeing anything really tiny requires a decent illumination system. Secondly, magnifying lenses used in early microscopes were not particularly even or clear, and tended to split light like a prism, which affected their resolution limits. Resolution can be thought of as the clarity of focus; technically, it is the limit at which two tiny objects which are close together stop being visibly separate. The resolution of early microscopes was very limited by the glass used in the lenses. Some important work was done with early microscopes, although they were primarily more of a toy than a scientific instrument. Like telescopes that were being developed through that same period, early microscopes used lenses in sequence (making them multi-lens or compound microscopes) to magnify an image. In 1660, Italian Marcello Malpighi was able to use a microscope to see blood capillaries in the tail of a live fish, providing powerful supporting evidence that blood circulates in the body (prior to this, since no one knew of how blood runs from arteries through capillaries to veins, it was thought that the blood flow was one-way from production in the intestines to consumption in the body tissues)."

"text": "Print Overview A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood cell protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body is storing. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also may cause your blood ferritin level to be high. Why it's done You may have a ferritin test for several reasons: To diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor may suggest a ferritin test if other blood tests have shown that the level of oxygen-carrying protein in your red blood cells (hemoglobin) is low, or if the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component in your blood (hematocrit) is low. These may indicate that you have iron deficiency anemia."

"text": "Iron, a trace element in the body, is involved in the function of the immune system and energy production system, but its most critical role is in getting oxygen to your muscles. Iron is a major component of hemoglobin, the transport agent for oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. It is also present in muscles in the form of myoglobin, the protein that extracts oxygen from hemoglobin molecules. For metabolism and transport of oxygen to function properly, an adequate level of iron must be available. This is especially true during growth and physical activity. Does running make me more likely to be anemic? As a general rule, exercise does not predispose an athlete to anemia, but the symptoms associated with anemia--most commonly excessive fatigue--may become apparent earlier in an athlete. Anemia indicates a deficiency of red blood cells (RBC) in the body. There are many causes, with iron deficiency being the most common. Anemia may be due to excessive loss and/or inadequate production of RBC."

"text": "Written by Sandi Busch; Updated June 22, 2017Related Articles How to Improve Ferritin How to Raise Your Iron Level Without Supplements Does Taking Iron Supplements With Food Decrease Absorption? What Does Low Ferritin Mean? Ferritin is a type of protein that stores iron in your body. The amount of ferritin in your blood indicates your iron level. If ferritin is low, you can give it a boost by eating good sources of iron along with foods that increase iron absorption. Iron supplements also help prevent or treat low ferritin, but consult your health care provider before taking supplements to check your ferritin level and determine the right dose. Facts About Ferritin Ferritin releases some of its stored iron when blood levels get low, thus maintaining a steady supply of iron. This fills the gap on days when your diet doesn’t supply enough iron, but if your consumption is consistently low, or you have a medical condition that depletes more iron than normal, your ferritin levels will drop and you’ll be at risk for iron deficiency anemia. The key to maximizing ferritin is to get an adequate amount of iron on a regular basis. Men need 8 milligrams of iron daily."

"text": "Low iron can cause fatigue in women, and reasons why this treatable condition is so often missed By Dr John Briffa on 11 July 2012 in Nutrients and Supplements, Women's Health There’s a lot of reasons why someone may complain of undue fatigue, but there’s a few things that tend to recur. One thing worth looking out for, especially in women, is iron deficiency. Monthly blood loss is a major risk factor for this, obviously, especially if coupled with a diet low in properly iron-rich foods such as red meat and liver. It’s a common problem, and one that is often easily resolved. The problem is it tends to go unrecognised. A fundamental reason for this, which I describe in this blog post, is that we doctors tend in women to think that fatigue is often caused by anaemia (low levels of the red blood cell pigment haemoglobin that carries oxygen around the body and delivers it to tissues). So, when we see a woman of childbearing age, anaemia is often thought of. Often, though, a blood test will not reveal anaemia as defined by ‘normal’ blood levels. The normal range of haemoglobin is lower in women than in men. One reason for that might be that women of reproductive age are generally losing blood each month."

Recommendations to Prevent and Control Iron Deficiency in the United States Summary Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency. Its prevalence is highest among young children and women of childbearing age (particularly pregnant women). In children, iron deficiency causes developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, and in pregnant women, it increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby. In the past three decades, increased iron intake among infants has resulted in a decline in childhood iron-deficiency anemia in the United States. As a consequence, the use of screening tests for anemia has become a less efficient means of detecting iron deficiency in some populations. For women of childbearing age, iron deficiency has remained prevalent. To address the changing epidemiology of iron deficiency in the United States, CDC staff in consultation with experts developed new recommendations for use by primary health-care providers to prevent, detect, and treat iron deficiency."

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this pain, if I should be concerned and notify the doctors about it or if it is just par for the course. I appreciate any feedback you might have. Thank you!Last edited by angelwhispers07; 04-16-2013 at 08:54 AM .

"text": "My Doctor Measured my Hemoglobin and it’s Normal. Could I still be anemic? A normal hemoglobin level does not necessarily indicate that you are not anemic, meaning your blood is not low in iron. Yet, the hemoglobin level obtained in your doctor’s office does not reflect total body stores of iron. It’s possible to have a normal hemoglobin, that is, a normal amount of iron in the blood, yet have vital tissues throughout your body deficient in iron. Some people have symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia, even with a normal hemoglobin. To really be sure you have enough iron in your body, your doctor may send you to the laboratory to measure the serum ferritin, the level of iron in blood that accurately reflects iron stores. ( Normal values are 7 to 140 micrograms per liter (mcg/l) in children, 20 to 120 micrograms in women, 20 to 300 micrograms in men.) If your serum ferritin level is normal, you can rest assured that you have adequate iron stores throughout your body. Serum ferritin levels detect iron deficiency in the early stages; a low hemoglobin reflects a much later stage of iron deficiency."

"text": "Inflammation is not always your friend!Normally, inflammation is a naturally healthy and positive response of your immune system to counter the infectious problem of a virus, bacteria or fungal excess. It can also be activated by an irritant (picture a splinter in your finger) or damage to your cells from an injury. But in thyroid patients, the inflammation response can become chronic and problematic! And while many thyroid patients may be clear they have inflammation, others may have it with no clue! The latter is common. The following article was written by Thyroid Patient Mary to help you become informed and pro-active about this potential problem. ********************* It’s all too common for thyroid patients to find themselves with high levels of inflammation as discovered by certain lab work, such as a high ferritin result with inadequate iron or a positively high C-Reactive Protein (CRP). In fact, one may be low, while the other high!Why is chronic inflammation a concern? Chronic Inflammation can spread and affect far more than a localized area. And sometimes that spread can have serious results."

"text": "Print Overview A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood cell protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body is storing. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also may cause your blood ferritin level to be high. Why it's done You may have a ferritin test for several reasons: To diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor may suggest a ferritin test if other blood tests have shown that the level of oxygen-carrying protein in your red blood cells (hemoglobin) is low, or if the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component in your blood (hematocrit) is low. These may indicate that you have iron deficiency anemia."

Answer by Brittybritt15 Confidence votes 74Ferretin is a protein in the blood that binds to iron. It is found in the liver, spleen, skeletal muscles, and bone marrow. A small amount can be found in the blood. The amount of ferritin in the blood indicates how much iron the body can store at that time, but not how much iron the body has. A normal value of ferritin in the blood is >20ng/m L. In old people, this number is higher. Borderline deficient: 13-20ng/m LDeficient: 0-12ng/m LExcessive: >400ng/m LWhat COULD an abnormal value mean?

I think they perceive it to mean something bad happened to their animal during what they thought was a simple spay/neuter procedure, and that the clinic is hiding something. So many owners get concerned and ask, worried, \"\"Why is their leg shaved?\"\" At adoption events, more often than not the Pyrs there all had little rectangular patches of missing hair on a forelimb. \"\" Is he healthy?\"\" They'd ask me. Of course. I have too many memories of them scrutinizing the missing patch of hair on their legs as if I were lying.

"text": "Character and temperament are of utmost importance. This tells us that, without the proper character and temperament, we have just another white dog. The various livestock guardian dogs developed in limited geographic areas to suit specific cultures; the Great Pyrenees developed in the mountains of France, living closely with both humans and sheep. They were further modified in the latter half of the last century by their relationship with exhibitors and pet owners who had no sheep for them to guard. In nature, the Great Pyrenees is confident, gentle, and affectionate. Confident – characterized by assurance; self-reliant; marked by a strong, fearless, and bold belief in oneself and one's capacities. 1 Anyone – human or canine - who is confident is neither aggressive nor shy. There is no need to be a bully, nor is there reason to be afraid of new or familiar situations. Gentle - having a pleasant easygoing nature; tractable, docile, easily managed. 1 Watching a well-bred Pyr with young children or livestock beautifully illustrates their gentleness."

"text": "Great Pyrenees Perimeter Problem Q and Aby Minette | December 3, 2012 | 18 Comments | Dog Training Share it!Tweet Thank you Great Dog Site for the photo This is another Q and A from a reader who is away at college: I had a training question that I couldn’t specifically find. My parents have a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix that loves to roam around the 25-acre property. One of his favorite things to do, besides roaming for critters in the woods, is chase outgoing cars to our private gate (we call it an escorting service), which is about 3/4 of a mile from the house. For the 8 months they have owned him he would normally stop at the gate, and turn around and run back to the house. However, in the last month he has been trying to follow the cars past the gate and onto our neighbors’ property. He never wonders far, but he thinks it’s a game to get him back onto “his (my parents) property”. My parents have now invested into a remote shock collar to buzz him when he tries to “escort” cars past the gate. However he doesn’t seem to understand it. I’m thinking it could possibly be a dominance issue, but since I’m away at college I can’t see the behavior myself. Could you give me some insight/ tips on how to correct this behavior please?"

The occasion was a charity event with the cast of Ocean’s Thirteen, and Clooney was putting in an appearance along with co-stars Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, as the sun set over the Mediterranean. On the fringes hovered a short man in his early 60s, seemingly unsure what to do with himself. He didn’t socialize or drink, and clung to the small group of people with whom he’d arrived. He was a little hazy on the pedigree of the celebrities around him. One attendee recalls, “It was like someone had taken their parents to a party. ”That fellow, Isai Scheinberg, was actually a distinguished guest. He sponsored the whole event through his online gaming company, Poker Stars, and he was there to explore marketing opportunities with the cast, some of whom were poker buffs. The effort never went farther than a few charity poker tournaments, but the actors did gather around a poker table with the company’s logo printed on the felt for a quick photo. The picture hangs in the company’s lobby."

"text": "\"Difference Between Gold and Pyrite Posted on October 22, 2014 by admin Gold vs Pyrite This article analyses the difference between gold and pyrite, the two minerals that some find difficult to distinguish due to their color. These two compounds are entirely different though they are slightly similar in color. Most of the people used to confuse pyrite as gold due to this reason. However, when you closely monitor the color of these two materials, gold and pyrite, the difference between gold and pyrite can be understood easily. It is the first simple method of distinguishing one from another. There are very simple ways to distinguish gold from Pyrite. This article explains about those features and identification methods in detail. What is Pyrite? The chemical formula for Pyrite is Fe S 2 (Iron sulphide ). It is a naturally occurring mineral; it is the most abundant Sulphide mineral on the earth."

Curdling (clotting) is done in the early stages of production. Casein is broken in smaller fragments by the action of chymosin. Cheese production requires the use of a 323 aminoacids protein called chymosin (also known as rennin). Chymosin (36 k DA) is a proteolitic enzyme which is usually obtained from calf stomachs. The role of this enzyme is to coagulate the milk, which is very important for digestion of milk in young animals. Initially, chymosin is secreted as inactive prochymosin and then activated at low p H. Once it is active, it breaks milk protein k-casein in a specific point and effects clotting which is the first step in cheese production. By clotting the milk, a solid product called curd is obtained. Curd is then processed to make cheese [1,2]. The increasing world production of cheese, coupled with a decline in the number of slaughtered calves, has stimulated a search for alternative sources of chymosin."

And remember, at this age the puppy is just a baby. Children must learn not tease or handle the puppy roughly. It is unwise to leave a puppy alone and free in a home. He will likely become bored and lonely and in that mood look for mischief to get into, such as chewing up sofa pillows, working on rugs or furniture.

Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus subtilis. This drug interferes in the peptidoglycan synthesis of bacteria. The presumptive identification of group A streptococci (GAS) is usually done by testing for sensitivity to bacitracin. Principle: Bacitracin test is used to determine the effect of a small amount of bacitracin (0.04 IU or 0.05 IU not higher) on an organism. Streptococcus pyogenes ( Group A Streptococci ) is inhibited by the small amount of bacitracin in the disk; other beta-hemolytic streptococci usually are not. Some laboratories do not recommend the use of 0.04 U bacitracin disk as Lancefield groups C and G streptococci may occasionally also show susceptibility to bacitracin. PYR reaction can confirm the isolate as S. pyogenes as its the only beta-hemolytic streptococci that gives positive PYR reaction. Procedure of Bacitracin test Using an inoculating loop, streak two or three suspect colonies of a pure culture onto a blood agar plate Using heated forceps, place a bacitracin disk in the first quadrant (area of heaviest growth). Gently tap the disk to ensure adequate contact with the agar surface."

"text": "\"Introduction Since Tokelau is a non-autonomous province of New Zealand, it uses the official ensign of New Zealand as its flag. Nevertheless, the General Fono, or the regional parliament, acknowledged a characteristic ensign and official coat of arms for Tokelau in May 2008. This ensign still has not been broadly implemented by the government. However, a formal introduction of the new ensign was scheduled for October 2009. On September 7, 2009, the Governor General granted the ensign to the head of the Government of Tokelau (Ulu-o-Tokelau) as the first authorized ensign. The flag of Tokelau portrays a Tokelauan boat navigating in the direction of the Southern Cross or manu. This canoe represents the territory's sojourn on the road to getting the most effective administrative system for the inhabitants. The Southern Cross is a sign of a direction-finding tool for the voyage. It assisted the fishers of the region to sail the waters close to the territory for hundreds of years as they depended on angling to maintain households and rural communities with its wealth. The white stars represent the Christian faith, an integral segment of the daily existence in the region."

With so much of what is Islam, the Crescent Moon, as was its deity, were historically absorbed into Islamic tradition from a much older origin. The truth is, Allah is not the God of the Bible, but is in fact, Allah the moon god of ancient pagan Arabia. The same moon god deity; the principle god one of 162 (or 360 depending on the source) other gods in pre-Islamic Mecca, that the pre-prophet Mohammed himself worshiped in his youth. Bearing in mind that Arabic was a fledgling language in Arabia at the time of Muhammed, and the illiterate merchant himself only spoke Syriac, or Syrio-Aramaic, it is common knowledge to all later day Muslims; the Arabic word for “god” is “ilah,” while \"\"al\"\" is the Arabic for “the.” Therefore, \"\"Allah\"\" combines \"\"al\"\" with “ilah” and removes the “i” to literally mean, “the god. ”But dismissed by Islamic apologetics, “Allah” was also the documented name given to the well established ‘moon god’ deity, the highest ranking of the pagan idols worshipped in Muhammed's home town and was the personal god of his family line. Much like “YHWH/Yahweh” is the personal name of the God of the Bible, Allah was the actual name of Mecca’s pagan moon god. It is an undeniable fact of history that before Muhammed was born, in the Pagan Arabian religion, for several centuries , Allah was the name of the principal deity in Mecca, who had three daughters (S53:19/20): Uzzah; Lat; Manat. According to their traditions they acted as Allah's intercessors."

"text": "What does the American Flag mean to you? Have you thought about what the American Flag means? What it symbolizes? Have you taught your children the history of the American Flag? Today the flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with 6 white. The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor, White symbolizes Purity and Innocence and Blue represents Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice. I often think of how our flag grew into what it is today. It is so much more than 3 colors or a decoration. Think of the areas around the globe that our flag has flown, think of the transformation it has underwent throughout the decades on our own shores."

The In today's world we speak of a \"\"national\"\" flag as the symbol of a country, but before the French Revolution of 1789, flags were more likely to symbolise some other entity such as a ruling house, a religious sect or even a charismatic individual. The concept of national solidarity with loyalty to a defined geographic area and a shared culture is a modern one. A national flag may be designed and approved by the people of the country, but its elements may be chosen from earlier times, as are those of the Albanian flag. History The national flag of Albania consists of a black double-headed eagle on a rectangular field of red. It was adopted April 17, 1992. The word for Albania in the native language is \"\"Shapiperia,\"\" translated as \"\"Land of Eagles.\"\" In the folktales of the country, the ruler was once known as \"\"The Eagle,\"\" and the eagle is said to guide and guard him as a \"\"Son of the Eagle. \"\" Field The red colour in the Albanian flag symbolises bravery, strength and valour. Red is the colour of blood, the life force, and it is found in a great many national flags."

"text": "\"Discover the History and Meaning of the Ecuador Flag Ecuador's flag consists of three horizontal bands of yellow (top, double width), blue and red with a coat of arms placed over the center of the flag. The Blue symbolizes independence from Spain. The Yellow recalls the Federation of Greater Colombia and the red symbolizes courage. This flag came into use on 7 November 1900. Ecuador's coat of arms was adopted by the National Congress in 1900. The meaning of it is rather complex. The four national folded flags act as supporters and between them are palm and laurel branches symbolizing victory. The Andean Condor perched at the top serves as protection for the country under its outstretched wings. It stands ready to strike any enemy. At the base is a lictoral fasces representing dignity."

Ecuador is a multiethnic society, a home to people of various ethnic origins; as a result, Ecuadorians do not equate their nationality with their ethnicity, but rather their allegiance or affinity for Ecuador. Majority of Ecuadorians trace their origins to one or more of three geographical sources of human migrations to the territory of modern Ecuador: the pre-Hispanic indigenous populations who settled the region over 15,000 years ago, the Europeans (principally Spaniards which are also the source of the Spanish language) who arrived over five centuries ago, and ultimately the sub-Saharan Africans who were imported to New Spain as slaves during the same period. The mixing of two or more of these three groups established other mixed ethnic groups. Mestizos, the multiracial group of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry, are by far the largest of all the ethnic groups and comprise around 71.9% of the current population. Whites are estimated at 6.1% and consist largely of those of unmixed or predominant European descent. [ 10] Most white Ecuadorians are of colonial-era Spanish origin, also known as criollos (literally meaning \"\"local-born Spaniards\"\", as opposed to \"\" Peninsulares \"\", which were Spaniards born in the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. They also include descendants of immigrants from Italy, Germany, and France, as well as other countries."

Some other sources also agree that the shade of Colombian yellow is different from the shade used by Ecuador and Venezuela (notably Shipmate Chart and [ zna99 ]). However, converting the given Pantone to RGB gave by my software one colour that I'd call buff, much similar to the colour used in Album as the background, and certainly not very yellow. I chose this light yellow shade to represent the Colombian yellow. Hopefully this is not much mistaken, and anyway, it serves only to show the difference from the other two Nueavagranadan yellows. Željko Heimer, 16 May 2001I must say that some colours given in album 2000 seem quite strange. Pantone 135 is NOT yellow but it is buff and nothing else, you are right. Yellow shades in [ zna99 ] are the same for all three states, blue is different. Ralf Stelter, 17 May 2001I agree, in next corr. it will be changed to Pantone 116C. Armand du Payrat, 17 May 2001On page 207 of [ zna99] is so as Ralf Stelter say , but when taking a look at page 128, here blue is different, indeed, but yellows are distinctly different."

As you read the following descriptions of four important Ecuadorian holidays, ask yourself … what traditions seem familiar to you? What traditions seem strange? Do you think your traditions would seem strange to an Ecuadorian?1. La Navidad (Christmas) – December 25Throughout Latin America, the Catholic religion predominates. One of the most important dates on the Catholic calendar is the celebration of the birth of Christ. In Ecuador, Christmas used to be a primarily religious holiday. Families in each village united for the midnight mass. In front of the church, in the dark night, a bonfire of eucalyptus branches burned while families passed in a processional, carrying ceramic figurines of the Christ child and singing carols."

The flag features three horizontal bands of yellow (double-width), blue and red. Colors of the flag are commonly interpreted in two ways: One version indicates that the yellow symbolizes sovereignty and justice, blue as loyalty and vigilance, and red represents the valor shown and the victory achieved during the battles for independence from Spain. A very popular children's song claims that yellow represents the gold Colombia once owned until the arrival of the Spanish, blue indicates the country's contact with two oceans and red represents the blood that Colombians spent in their struggle for independence from Spain.

Ecuadorian people have a distinctive dress code which is influenced by the cultural diversity in the region. People who know the native dresses well can sometimes tell which part of Ecuador someone is from just by their dress. The men's dress usually consists of a blue poncho, a fedora, or a felt hat and white, and knickers. The Shimba (a long braid that hangs down nearly to the man's waist) is a very traditional piece of clothing. The Ecuadorian woman's dress is the closest to the Incan costumes worn in the Andes. A white blouse, a blue skirt and a shawl is usually worn. Jewelry is very important, layers of necklaces of predominantly gold beads and red coral bracelets are the most common form of jewelry worn by the Otavalo woman.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Capuchin monkeys usually live in large groups (10 - 35 individuals) within the forest, although they can easily adapt to places colonized by humans. Each group is wide-ranging, as members must search for the best areas to feed. They communicate with each other using various calls. Capuchins can jump up to nine feet (three meters), and they use this mode of transport to get from one tree to another. To mark their territories, Capuchin monkeys leave a scent by soaking their hands and feet in urine. Remaining hidden among forest vegetation for most of the day, Capuchin monkeys sleep on tree branches and descend to the ground only to find drinking water.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

They were discovered in 1535 by Tomas de Berlanga, the Spanish Bishop of Panama, when his ship drifted by the islands. The Galapagos Islands first appeared on maps in the late 16th century, and were named \"\"Insulae de los Galopegos\"\" (Islands of the Tortoises) in reference to the giant tortoises found there. The first navigation chart of the Galapagos islands was done by the buccaneer Ambrose Cowley in 1684, and he reportedly named the individual islands after some of his fellow pirates, as well as European nobility. Until the early 19th century the islands were used as a hideout by pirates who pilfered Spanish galleons carrying gold and silver from South America, back to Spain. In 1793, James Colnett, an officer of the British Royal Navy, and explorer, suggested the islands could be used as base for the whalers operating in the Pacific Ocean as they offered fresh water, and an almost endless supply of meat. Consequently, thousands of the Galapagos tortoises were captured and kept on board whale ships as a means of providing of fresh protein. That hunting orgy almost brought the indigenous tortoise close to extinction."

Ecuador is also incredibly biodiverse and it has a medium-sized economy. History of Ecuador Ecuador has a long history of settlement by native peoples but by the 15th century it was controlled by the Inca Empire. In 1534 however, the Spanish arrived and took the area from the Inca. Throughout the rest of the 1500's, Spain developed colonies in Ecuador and in 1563, Quito was named as an administrative district of Spain. Beginning in 1809, Ecuadorian natives began to revolt against Spain and in 1822 independence forces beat the Spanish army and Ecuador joined the Republic of Gran Colombia. In 1830 though, Ecuador became a separate republic. In its early years of independence and through the 19th century, Ecuador was unstable politically and it had a number of different rulers."

Open Space is the only process that focuses on expanding time and space for the force of self-organisation to do its thing. Although one can't predict specific outcomes, it's always highly productive for whatever issue people want to attend to. Some of the inspiring side effects that are regularly noted are laughter, hard work which feels like play, surprising results and fascinating new questions.— Michael M Pannwitz, Open Space practitioner [3] [4]Contents [ hide ]1 Self-organization2 Origin and ownership3 Outcomes4 Ideal initial conditions5 Typical event process6 Participation roles7 Guiding principles and one law7.1 Law of two feet8 Criteria making a topic inappropriate for OST9 See also10 References11 External links Self-organization [ edit]Open Space meeting at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Seen by proponents as especially scalable and adaptable, the OST event format has been used in meetings of 5 to 2,100 people (in self-discovery work for smaller groups or even individuals).

The approach is most distinctive for its initial lack of an agenda, which sets the stage for the meeting's participants to create the agenda for themselves, in the first 30–90 minutes of the meeting or event. Typically, an \"\"open space\"\" meeting will begin with short introductions by the sponsor and usually a single facilitator.

Corrigan’s wardrobe boxes measure 24’’ x 21’’ x 49’’ and come with a 24’’ metal hanging bar, although some movers carry a slightly smaller sized box that also works fine. Items to Pack: Hanging closet clothes, such as dresses, suit jackets, coats, and any other hanging shirts or pants. Advice: The wardrobe box is specially designed to safely transport hanging clothes during the course of the move. When you are ready to pack a wardrobe box, clothes can simply be moved from your closet and hung on the box’s metal hanging bar. Because you can leave your clothes on the hanger, the boxes pack very quickly and your clothes will not become wrinkled during the move."

"text": "\"Managed Care The New Consensus Favoring IOM's Definition of Quality We often use such words as \"\"quality,\"\" \"\"transparency,\"\" \"\"accountability,\"\" \"\"evidence-based,\"\" and \"\"effectiveness,\"\" but not always in the same ways. June 1, 2004Martin Sipkoff Contributing Editor Quality, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. The word is ubiquitous in health care, but what does it mean to health plan leaders, providers, patients, and payers? Is quality a process, a tactic, or just an aspiration? Most important: Can a universally understood definition of quality be a guiding light, helping us keep our eye directed along a bumpy road? Surprisingly, in an industry hardly known for harmony, the answer appears to be yes. In the last three years, the Institute of Medicine's definition of quality has become widely accepted as a common and defining plan of action. In its seminal 2001 report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, the IOM defined quality as \"\"the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge. \"\" That prescript contains just two concepts: measurement and knowledge. But its implications are powerful, say health care leaders."

With over ten members including rappers, singers, producers, visual artists, and various other behind-the-scenes roles, there's pretty much no need for them to outsource anything. It can be a little intimidating for newcomers, though, especially with how they weave throughout tracks together on both of their fantastic Saturation albums. Across two fantastic albums, with a third on the way relatively soon, they've attracted more attention than ever before. Every since member has been given a moment to shine, and with their awesome videos accompanying their releases, it was only a matter of time before people began wondering what each member is about. With how they formed on Kanye West fan forum Kanye To The, it's understandable, then, that they came from all over the place before they decided to move in together properly earlier this year. So if you're a little confused as to who's who, we've put together a handy to guide to all the creatives in the world's most exciting boyband.

By the early 1920s, the 6'4\"\" Strange had worked as a cowboy and later moved on to professional heavyweight fighting and wrestling. In the late 1920s, he took a job touring with silent film star Hoot Gibson's Rodeo as a rider. While on tour with the rodeo, Strange landed in Hollywood and entered films as a stuntman and bit player in Hoot Gibson's films beginning in 1930 with the western The Mounted Stranger (1930). He secured bit parts mostly at Columbia, then a poverty row studio, throughout the early 1930s. His first credited role came in the Mascot adventure The Hurricane Express (1932; with John Wayne) and eventually worked his way up as a villainous henchman and an occasional sheriff in numerous B westerns, including Arizona Days (1937; with Tex Ritter), Blazing Sixes (1937; with Dick Foran), and Call of the Rockies (1938; with Charles Starrett ). LEFT: As Frankenstein's monster on the set of Universal's House of Frankenstein. RIGHT: Early 1950s photo Much like western star Tom Tyler, in the 1940s Strange began acting in horror films due to his imposing stature. His horror film debut was in PRC's The Mad Monster (1942; with George Zucco and Anne Nagel) in which Strange turns in a sympathetic performance as a kindly but simple man who is transformed into a monster by mad scientist George Zucco. In 1944, he succeeded Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., and Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein's monster in Universal's 1940s horror offerings."

"text": "By Paul T. Corrigan and Cameron Hunt Mc Nabb April 16, 2015 36 Comments Dear College Student,If your professor has sent you a link to this page, two things are likely true. First, you probably sent an email that does not represent you in a way you would like to be represented. Second, while others might have scolded you, mocked you or despaired over the future of the planet because of your email, you sent it to someone who wants to help you represent yourself better. In part, because only a click or swipe or two separate emails from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and texting, the lines between professional emails and more informal modes of writing have become blurred, and many students find the conventions of professional emails murky. We think we can help sort things out. In the age of social media, many students approach emailing similar to texting and other forms of digital communication, where the crucial conventions are brevity and informality. But most college teachers consider emails closer to letters than to text messages. This style of writing calls for more formality, more thoroughness and more faithful adherence (sometimes bordering on religious adherence) to the conventions of Edited Standard Written English -- that is, spelling, punctuation, capitalization and syntax. These different ways of writing are just that -- different ways of writing. The letter approach to emails is not always and forever better (or worse) than the texting approach."

The author pseudonymously identifies himself in the corpus as \"\"Dionysios\"\", portraying himself as the figure of Dionysius the Areopagite, the Athenian convert of Paul the Apostle mentioned in Acts 17:34. [ note 1] This false attribution to the earliest decades of Christianity resulted in the work being given great authority in subsequent theological writing in both East and West. The Dionysian writings and their mystical teaching were universally accepted throughout the East, amongst both Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, and also had a strong impact in later medieval western mysticism, most notably Meister Eckhart. Its influence decreased in the West with the 15th-century demonstration of its later dating, but in recent decades, interest has increased again in the Corpus Areopagiticum.

Seven other works are mentioned repeatedly by pseudo-Dionysius in his surviving works, and are presumed either to be lost [3] or to be fictional works mentioned by the Areopagite as a literary device to give the impression to his sixth-century readers of engaging with the surviving fragments of a much larger first-century corpus of writings. [ 4] These seven other works are: Theological Outlines (Θεολογικαὶ ὑποτυπώσεις),Symbolic Theology (Συμβολικὴ θεολογία),On Angelic Properties and Orders (Περὶ ἀγγελικῶν ἰδιοτήτων καὶ τάξεων),On the Just and Divine Judgement (Περὶ δικαίου καὶ θείου δικαστηρίου),On the Soul (Περὶ ψυχῆς),On Intelligible and Sensible Beings, [note 2]On the Divine Hymns. [ note 3]Dating [ edit]In attempts to identify a date after which the corpus must have been composed, a number of features have been identified in Dionysius' writing, though the latter two are subject to scholarly debate. Firstly, and fairly certainly, it is clear that Dionysius adopted many of his ideas—including at times passages almost word for word—from Proclus, who died in 485, thus providing at the least a late fifth-century early limit to the dating of Dionysius.

C. (Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press)comments The National Energy Board issued an order Thursday saying Kinder Morgan Canada's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is exempt from having to comply with two sections of bylaws in Burnaby, B. C., that were standing in the way of the $7.4-billion project. The NEB order, which comes three days after the regulator heard the case in Calgary, says the company is not required to comply with two sections of the city's bylaws — which required the company to get preliminary plan approvals and tree-cutting permits — as it prepares to begin construction in the area. Kinder Morgan had filed a motion to have the NEB overrule the bylaws on a constitutional basis, because it claimed Burnaby was delaying a project approved by the federal government. The company told the NEB it has been frustrated at the lack of firm timelines, guidance and structure in the local process as it tries to secure permits for actions like tree removal and fence installation ahead of construction of oil storage and loading facilities in Burnaby. Kinder Morgan and Burnaby clash in NEB hearing over Trans Mountain project Burnaby had countered that it was following the standard bylaws process and blamed the company for shoddy applications. Decision shows project in national interest: Kinder Morgan\"\"We are pleased with the decision we have received from the NEB today, as it reinforces our view this federally approved Project is in the national interest,\"\" Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, told the CBC in a statement Thursday. \"\" We await the NEB's decision on our second motion requesting the establishment of a generic process. \"\" At the hearing earlier in the week, the company's lawyer argued that Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan's strong and vocal opposition to the project had created an atmosphere of opposition, even if the mayor had not specifically interfered in the process. NEB mostly rubber-stamps Kinder Morgan's requests: Burnaby mayor On Thursday, the mayor said he was disappointed by the NEB order. \"\" It is apparent that for the most part, [the NEB] rubber-stamp what Kinder Morgan wants, so it doesn't surprise me at the end of the day,\"\" Mayor Derek Corrigan said. \"\""

Method We reviewed child mental illness stigma articles in (English only) peer-reviewed journals available through Medline and Psych Info. We augmented these with adult-oriented stigma articles that focus on theory and measurement. A total of 145 articles in Psych Info and 77 articles in MEDLINE met search criteria. The review process involved identifying and appraising literature convergence on the definition of critical dimensions of stigma, antecedents, and outcomes reported in empirical studies. Results We found concurrence on three dimensions of stigma (negative stereotypes, devaluation, and discrimination), two contexts of stigma (self, general public), and two targets of stigma (self/individual, family)."

"text": "\"A Review of Anthony William - The Medical Medium— Marketing Spirit 17 May 2016Anthony William is a medical medium claiming to bring through ground-breaking medical information and healing protocols that will cure most chronic and mystery diseases outright. A closer look, however, reveals that it is mostly exaggeration and marketing hype. R ECENTLY, a friend of mine recommended to me a book written by Anthony William (aka The Medical Medium). The book was called Medical Medium and I read it with great interest, although some of the claims did not sit entirely comfortably with me. But I gave William the benefit of the doubt and, although healthy, adopted some of his recommendations. After all, those recommendations were spoken to William from a disembodied entity called Spirit who claims: \"\"there is no spirit above me but God.\"\" With that sort of endorsement, the advice was certainly worth a try!Doubts, however, started to accumulate when I watched some of the Youtube videos with Anthony William speaking or being interviewed. I could not help feeling that I was listening to a salesman rather than someone passing on information from \"\"the Most High\"\" [as Spirit calls himself]. His consciousness and energy just did not match the claims of basically being an open channel for Compassion itself. And further to that, all the videos on Youtube that William controls have comments restricted — always a sign of underlying controversy. What was really going on?"

"text": "\" [–] samx3i 154 points 3 years ago The phrase “middle name” first appeared in an 1835 Harvard University periodical called Harvardiana, but the practice dates back much further. In ancient Rome, having multiple names was an honor usually bestowed upon the most important people—like Gaius Julius Caesar. The fad died out only to pick back up again in Western cultures in the 1700s, when aristocrats started giving their children lavishly long names to indicate their place in society. Similarly, lengthy Spanish and Arabic names adopt paternal or maternal names from previous generations to trace the individual’s family tree. ( In other cultures, like Chinese, there are traditionally no middle names. ) The three-name structure used today began in the Middle Ages when Europeans were torn between giving their child a saint’s name or a common family name. The practice of giving three names eventually resolved the problem with a formula: given name first, baptismal name second, surname third. It branched to America as immigrants arrived: Adopting a trio of labels became a way of aspiring to a higher social class. Nonreligious middle names—often maternal maiden names—gradually became the norm, and by the Civil War, it was customary to name your child whatever you liked. Middle names had started to become more or less official by World War I, when the U. S. enlistment form became the first official government document to include space for them."

Chris O'Meara/Associated Press By now, the legend of Carmelo Anthony ’s 62-point detonation last Friday night has grown large enough to almost single-handedly alter how the New York Knicks are expected to approach their star forward’s impending free agency. And rightly so: No team in its right mind would dare deal the guy who just broke the arena’s and the team’s single-game scoring record. But what if—perish the thought—it never happened? Worse, what if the Knicks actually consider the unthinkable: trading Melo at the very moment when his stock’s at its ceiling? Is it highly unlikely? Absolutely. Impossible? If your answer is yes, you probably haven’t heard of James Dolan.

"text": "\"What does Anthony mean? Pronounce Anthony [ 3 syll. an - (t)ho- ny, ant -h- ony ] The baby boy name Anthony is also used as a girl name, but the use for boys is much more common. Its pronunciation is AE NTah N-iy- or AE N-THah N-iy- †. Anthony is largely used in the English language and it is derived from Latin origins. The name is of the meaning priceless, inestimable. The first name is from the Roman family name Antonius (Latin), of which the most famous member is Mark Antony, the follower of Julius Caesar; his name in Latin is Marcus Antonius. His story is well-known from the Shakespeare tragedy Antony and Cleopatra (1623). The Roman family name is of obscure and probably Etruscan origin, although there were erroneous attempts to associate it with the Greek element 'anthos' meaning 'flower'. These attempts led to the '-th-' spelling of the name, especially after the Reformation. Others suggest the meaning 'priceless' or 'inestimable'."

The content of the novel is the story of Elizabeth, of how she and Darcy arrive at nuptial happiness by an improbable and circuitous route. Austen is no expert on the conjugal delights of marriage and the nearest we come to references to sex are the discovery of Charlotte's pregnancy and some very delicate allusions to Wickham's dealings (intended and actual) with Georgiana and Lydia."

"text": "On 29 January 1813 Jane Austen (1775-1817) wrote to her sister Cassandra with exciting news: “I want to tell you that I have got my own darling child from London.” The “darling child” was a copy of her newly published book Pride and Prejudice. Half-title page from ZSR’s first edition of Pride and Prejudice On this the 200th anniversary of its publication Pride and Prejudice is an undisputed literary classic, as popular with readers today as it was in 1813. But the novel’s path to publication was a long one. Jane Austen began writing novels while still a teenager. The second youngest of seven children, Austen had the good fortune to be born into a family of literary enthusiasts. Her parents, brothers, and sister all had a lively interest in the popular books of the day, and they encouraged Jane’s literary efforts. Like the rest of her family, Jane was an avid reader. A favorite author was Frances Burney, one of the most popular and successful novelists of the late 18th century. That Jane Austen was a devoted fan is evident from the fact that she is listed as a subscriber in Burney’s 1795 novel Camilla."

It depicts the early life of the English author Jane Austen and her lasting love for Thomas Langlois Lefroy. American actress Anne Hathaway stars as the title character, while her romantic interest is played by Scottish actor James Mc Avoy. Also appearing in the film are Julie Walters, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith. The film was produced in cooperation with several companies, including Ecosse Films and Blueprint Pictures. It also received funding from the Irish Film Board and the UK Film Council Premiere Fund. The film is partly based on the 2003 book Becoming Jane Austen by Jon Hunter Spence, who was also hired as historical consultant. The final screenplay, developed by Sarah Williams and Kevin Hood, pieced together some known facts about Austen into a coherent story, in what co-producer Graham Broadbent called \"\"our own Austenesque landscape.\"\" According to Hood, he attempted to weave together \"\"what we know about Austen's world from her books and letters,\"\" and believed Austen's personal life was the inspiration for Pride and Prejudice. [ 3] Jarrold began production of the film in early 2006, opting to shoot primarily in Ireland as he found it had better-preserved locations than Hampshire, England, where Austen was raised."

STORY HIGHLIGHTSNEW: Biographer says whatever disease killed Jane Austen, it affected her writing Austen, the author of \"\"Pride and Prejudice,\"\" presumed to have died of rare illness called Addison's disease But Addison's sufferer Katherine White has studied Austen's letters, and concluded that key symptoms just don't match She suspects the answer is much simpler: tuberculosis London, England (CNN) -- It is a truth universally acknowledged -- or nearly so -- that Jane Austen, the author of \"\"Pride and Prejudice,\"\" died of a rare illness called Addison's disease, which robs the body of the ability to make critical hormones. Katherine White doesn't believe it. White, herself a sufferer of Addison's disease, has studied Austen's own letters and those of her family and friends, and concluded that key symptoms just don't match what's known about the illness. The disease -- a failure of the adrenal glands -- was unknown in Austen's day, first having been identified nearly 40 years after she died in 1817 at the age of 41. It was a doctor named Zachary Cope who first proposed that Addison's disease had killed Austen -- a much beloved novelist whose social comedies continue to sell briskly and inspire movies starring the likes of Keira Knightley, Donald Sutherland, Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant. ( That's not to mention homages like the Bollywood-inspired \"\"Bride and Prejudice\"\" and this year's unlikely bestseller \"\"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. \"\") Cope's article, published in the British Medical Journal in 1964, came to White's attention a couple of years ago. \"\" When I read the summary that Zachary Cope had done of her symptoms, I thought, well, that's not right,\"\" White told CNN. She zeroed in on a comment Austen made in a letter to a friend less than two months before she died: \"\"My head was always clear, and I had scarcely any pain. \"\""

"text": "Author Centred Approach Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, like many of her work, predominantly explores the Victorian 18th century lifestyle of courtship, love, money and marriage. Sense and Sensibly was first published in 1817 and was Austen’s initial novel which generated a series of world renowned literary novels. It tells the story of the misfortunes of the Dashwood daughters after the sudden death of their father. Typically, Austen’s writes the tale of their never ending search for romance and the happily-ever after ending all girls dream off. Despite the gender hierarchy, that women were regarded as possessions, it can be seen in the Victorian era that a vast number of women still endeavour to find Mr. Right. However, the concept of Mr. Right is alien to readers today as we are used to more contemporary works such as Rebecca Sparrow’s The Most Likely. Despite my utter loathing for Austen’s novels the literary world has regarded Jane Austen’s elegancy in her structured ‘classic’ writings to have marked and defined English literature from the neo-classicism of the 18th century to the Victorian era of romanticism in the 18th and 19th century. Sense and Sensibility was writing during the Romantic Movement in European and English literature and the emerging Industrial Revolution. As a reaction to their social discontent of mechanized, commercial and standardized, authors have captured a type of ‘escapism’ by ‘emphasize [ing]…passion rather than reason, and imagination and inspiration rather than logic. Romanticism favours full expressions of emotions and free, spontaneous actions’ (The World Book Encyclopaedia 1980, Romanticism, pg."

"text": "\"Was Jonah truly swallowed by a whale? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Was Jonah truly swallowed by a whale?\"\" Answer: The story of Jonah is the amazing tale of a disobedient prophet who, upon being swallowed by a whale (or a “great fish” - see below) and vomited upon the shore, reluctantly led the reprobate city of Nineveh to repentance. The biblical account is often criticized by skeptics because of its miraculous content. These miracles include • A Mediterranean storm, both summoned and dissipated by God (1:4-16). • A massive fish, appointed by God to swallow the prophet after he was thrown into the sea by his ship’s crew (1:17). • Jonah’s survival in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, or his resurrection from the dead after being vomited upon the shore, depending on how you interpret the text (1:17). • The fish vomiting Jonah upon shore at God’s command (2:10). • A gourd, appointed by God to grow rapidly in order to provide Jonah with shade (4:6). • A worm, appointed by God to attack and whither the shady gourd (4:7). •"

Loathe as I am to admit it my first foray into an Austen novel has not been an enjoyable endeavour. Emma, what went wrong? Your premise – a match matching, witty heroine trying to organise other peoples’ marriage prospects – promised humour, fun, and romance. This is not what I experienced. The main character, one Miss Emma Woodhouse, wasn’t particularly likeable, even by Austen’s own admission – “I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” Not to disagree with one of the most iconic writers to ever lift a pen, but perhaps this isn’t the best way to go about creating one’s protagonist? It made battling through the book a real challenge for me, but Emma’s popularity and critical acclaim as one of Austen’s better novels seems to prove that I, like Jon Snow, clearly know nothing. But as a reader, my main concern is usually characters – if I like them, I can be pretty forgiving about a lack lustre plot."

"text": "Did you spot all these hidden references in JK Rowling’s Harry Potter names? Ancient mythology, astrology, French, Jane Austen and even one real-life person – they've all inspired the names of the author's magical characters By Susanna Lazarus Thursday, 17th September 2015 at 1:41 pm From Dedalus Diggle to Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, JK Rowling’s incredible character names add an extra sprinkle of magic to her wizarding world. But they haven’t all been conjured up from the depths of her extensive imagination. Rowling has spoken often in the past about using everything from baby name books to graveyards, history to literature to influence her various monikers. Here are some examples of her inspiration…Astrology Plenty of the Harry Potter character names have links with astrology. Sirius – Harry’s godfather – is the brightest star in the night sky, known as the dog star (Padfoot, anyone?) as it exists in the constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog). A number of Slytherins also share their names with the night. Bellatrix is a star in the constellation Orion, while Regulus (the name of Sirius’ brother) is the brightest star in the constellation Leo. There are also constellations called Draco, and Scorpius (the name of D Malfoy’s son)."

"text": "Ava What does the name Ava mean? The meaning of the name “Ava” is: “Like a Bird; Voice”. Additional information: Ava is a feminine name with many root languages – it is a diminutive of the Latin Avis, which gives the name its meaning of ‘like a bird’ or ‘birdlike’. It was also a medieval Germanic name that was associated with water, and it is a Persian name that means ‘voice’. Because of all of these roots, Ava has many different spellings in foreign languages. Eva is the most common, used in countries such as Germany, Portugal, and Russia, but other foreign variants include Eve (French), Evita (Spanish diminutive for Eva), and Ewa (Polish). Ava is a very common gender neutral diminutive for a number Russian names, including the feminine Avelina, Aventina, and Avrora (the Russian form of ‘ Aurora ’), and the masculine Avel, Avgust, and Avim. ‘ Eva’ is not only a foreign variant of Ava, but an English name similar to Ava; others are Aveline, Evelyn, and Ada. Common misspellings of Ava are ‘Av’ or ‘Ave’. The popularity of the name Ava sharply increased in the nineties, thanks to celebrities such as Hugh Jackman and Reese Witherspoon giving the name to their daughters."

It is pronounced AA -Vaa- or EY -Vaa- †.1: Ava's origin is Germanic, and its use, English and German. The name is of obscure origin. It could be from the element aval or avi and the short form of various female Germanic compound names with the element 'av', such as Avaline, or else it could be of Latin or Persian roots. It was borne by the 9th-century Saint Ava, who became a Benedictine nun at Dinart, Hainaut; she was also from the Frankish royal family. The name was not often used by the end of the medieval period, but it was later made known in high society by the Philadelphia socialite Ava Lowle Willing (1868-1958), who married the wealthy businessman John Jacob Astor IV, and subsequently Thomas Lister, Baron Ribblesdale; she named her daughter Ava as well. The name later grew popular from the fame of the actress Ava Gardner (1922-1990). In recent times, it was made popular by a number of celebrities who chose the name for their babies, including the actress Reese Witherspoon, who named her baby Ava in 1999."

But the man she chose as her ghostwriter, Peter Evans, had his own problems, not least a legal war with Sinatra. In an exclusive from the book that wasn’t published in either of their lifetimes, Gardner spills the seduction-to-split secrets of her three marriagesby Peter Evans Ava Gardner June 19, 2013 12:00 am Right, Ava Gardner with Frank Sinatra, at the Hollywood premiere of Show Boat, 1951.

A writer's decision for a character name on a TV show can have lasting effects on a whole generation. Take the soap opera Days of Our Lives for example. A character named Kayla gave the name incredible popularity, and hundreds if not thousands of Kayla's today are the product of the show's trend-setting influence.

Its recent popularity may be linked to a number of celebrity babies of the 1990s, who were ultimately named after American actress Ava Gardner (who had died in 1990). Contents [ hide ]1 Origin2 Modern use2.1 Recent popularity3 References3.1 Notes3.2 Sources Origin [ edit]The medieval name Ava is an abbreviation of a Germanic name containing the first element aw-, of uncertain meaning. Old High German (8th to 9th centuries) dithematic feminine names with this element include Avagisa, Avuldis, Awanpurc, Auwanildis. [ 1]Saint Ava was a 9th-century princess, daughter of Pepin II of Aquitaine. Ava was also the name of a medieval German woman poet. This name is the origin of the Norman French name of Aveline, which in turn gave rise to the English given name of Evelyn. As evidence for the name is lacking between the later medieval and the modern period, the Oxford Dictionary of First Names supposes that it was coined anew as a modern innovation, presumably as a variant of Eva, [2] or (like Eva) used as an anglicization of the Irish name Aoife. [ 3]Āvā is also a feminine given name in the Persian language, meaning \"\"voice, sound\"\". In the Russian language, Ava ( А́ва) may be a diminutive form of either the female names Avelina, [4] Avenira, [5] Aventina, [5]Avgusta / Avgustina, [6] Aviafa, [5] Aviya (a form of Abijah ), [7] Avreliya, [8] Avreya, [8] and Avrora (a form of Aurora ), [8] or the male names Avdey, [9] Avel, [4] Avenir, [4] Aventin, [5] Avgust, [6] Avim, [5] Avram (a form of Abram ), [7] Avrelian, [8] and Avrely.

Department of Cardiovascular Med, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Avenue/JJ5-208A, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA. Tel: 216-445 9101. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: In developed nations, aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease presentation, and its prevalence is increasing due to aging populations. Accurate diagnosis of the disease process and determination of its severity are essential in clinical decision-making. Although current guidelines recommend measuring transvalvular gradients, maximal velocity, and aortic valve area in determining the disease severity, inconsistent grading of disease severity remains a common problem in clinical practice. Recent studies suggest that patients with paradoxical low-flow and/or low-gradient, severe AS are at a more advanced stage of the disease process and have a poorer prognosis. This mode of presentation may lead to an undervaluation of symptoms and inappropriate delay of AVR. Therefore, this challenging clinical situation should be carefully assessed in particular in symptomatic patients and clinical decisions should be tailored individually."

It can be used to display certificate information, convert certificates to various forms, sign certificate requests like a \"\"mini CA\"\" or edit certificate trust settings. Since there are a large number of options they will split up into various sections. INPUT, OUTPUT AND GENERAL PURPOSE OPTIONS-inform DER | PEM | NETspecifies the input format normally the command will expect an X509 certificate but this can change if other options such as -req are present. The DER format is the DER encoding of the certificate and PEM is the base64 encoding of the DER encoding with header and footer lines added. The NET option is an obscure Netscape server format that is now obsolete.-outform DER | PEM | NETspecifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the -inform option.-in filenamespecifies the input file name to read a certificate from or standard input if this option is not specified.-out filenamespecifies the output file name to write to or standard output by default.-md2-md5-sha1-mdc2specifies the digest to use. This affects any signing or display option that uses a message digest, such as the -fingerprint, -signkey , and -CA options. If not specified then MD5 is used. If the key being used to sign with is a DSA key then this option has no effect: SHA1 is always used with DSA keys. DISPLAY OPTIONSNote: The -alias and -purpose options are also display options but are described in the TRUST SETTINGS section.-textprints out the certificate in text form."

"text": "How to Protect Yourself from Bad Tenantsby Michelle Fabio, Esq. Freelance writer As a landlord, you have many responsibilities, but the most important is to yourself and your property—which means you need to know how to avoid bad tenants before they sign a lease. Once a tenant has taken up residence in your rental unit, it can be costly and time-consuming to have him or her removed, so you should aim to head off any problems before the first box is moved in. Other than protecting yourself with a detailed written lease, you can avoid becoming a victim of late or unpaid rental payments and property damage by taking the following precautions in choosing tenants:1. Require potential tenants to fill out an application and provide sufficient identification. Think of your rental unit as an opportunity for which renters should have proper qualifications. On your rental application, you should require potential tenants to provide: Full name and any aliases or names previously used (including maiden names)Birth date Social Security number All the above information for other proposed occupants Current and last two addresses (including landlord's name, contact information, last amount of rent paid, and reason for leaving)Current and last two places of employment and salary Other sources of income to be considered Information on vehicles owned (make, model, year, color, license plate)Other major expenses (car payments, student loan payments, etc. ) Copy of driver's license or other photo identification Two or three references and/or emergency contacts2. Perform criminal background and credit checks. These days, background and credit checks are easily and quickly performed, but do be sure that you let potential tenants know that you will be performing these checks; aside from this being the right thing to do, you may also be able to weed out bad tenants simply by making it known that you will be running checks on their criminal backgrounds and credit."

Answered Nov 6, 2016No, it is in Antarctica. What a question, in God’s name! Rome is the capital city of the Italian Republic, in the geographical centre of the Italian peninsula, and the historic core of the Italian nation. As for its health system, it has its plus and minuses. I don’t think it’s as good as Paris’, but it has abundant and competent doctors, and some world-class hospital specialists. Where it tends to fall down is in the discipline, work ethic and bedside manners of the junior orders, nurses and porters, who vary greatly in quality and commitment. Still, the fact that Italians have among the longest lives in Europe should tell you something.226 Views Related Questions Is Rome located in Italy, and what is this cities historical importance?

Although often seeming icily aloof, a restless streak early demonstrated itself in her personality, and she had an impetuous desire to explore the world outside Switzerland. ( For instance, she was tracked down by Interpol for running away from boarding school at 17 years old.) The stunning young woman found work as an art model in Rome and did walk-ons in three quickie Italian pictures before coming to Hollywood and getting nowhere professionally. At 19, she met and had an affair with fading matinée idol John Derek, who left his wife Pati Behrs and two kids for Ursula even though she spoke almost no English at the time. In 1957 they eloped, and the new bride put her acting ambitions on hold for a few years thereafter. 1962 saw the virtually unknown Swiss beauty back on the set, playing opposite Sean Connery in the first movie version of Ian Fleming 's fanciful \"\"James Bond\"\" espionage novels, Dr. No (1962). Andress' role as bikini-clad Honey Ryder was somewhat brief, and her Swiss/German accent was so thick that her entire performance had to be dubbed by a voiceover artist. Nevertheless, her striking beauty and smoldering screen presence made a strong impression on moviegoers, establishing her as one of the most desired women in the world and as an ornament to put alongside some of the most bankable talent of the era, such as Elvis Presley in Fun in Acapulco (1963) and Dean Martin in 4 for Texas (1963). In 1965, she was one of several European starlets to co-star in What's New Pussycat (1965) -- a film that perhaps sums up mid-'60s pop culture better than any other -- written by Woody Allen, starring Allen and Peter Sellers, with music by Burt Bacharach, a title song performed by Tom Jones and much onscreen sexual romping."

"text": "\"History The first headquarters were established at the 'Fiaschetteria Toscana' in Via Berchet in Milan, back in 1899The first headquarters were established at the 'Fiaschetteria Toscana' in Via Berchet in Milan, back in 1899. From that moment on, the glorious history of Milan started as the club wrote its name in football's record books becoming one of the most famous and successful teams in the world, especially over the last 15 years. Rossoneri’s history is studded with the legendary names of those men who have made a major contribution to the club's development: presidents, coaches or players. The first president was a British expatriate, Alfred Edwards, who oversaw the club's first winning of the national championship - only two years after its foundation. The president with the highest number of trophies won is Silvio Berlusconi who has taken Milan to the pinnacle of the world since taking control in 1986. Extremely prestigious wins, obtained in every part of the world prove the unparalleled strength and organization of a great group. A top club stands out thanks to its the strategies and to its leaders, among whom the coaches play a decisive role; the story of AC Milan's successes is also linked to its coaches. The greatest Italian bosses trained the teams, from Gipo Viani, Nereo Rocco and Nils Liedholm, the masters of the Sixties, from whom Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello took the reins, basing their tactical and strategic philosophy on a modern, brilliant and spectacular football. In the years of Berlusconi’s management, Sacchi and Capello won and triumphed, giving wonderful emotions. With Sacchi, Milan won in four national championships, two European Cups, two European Super Cups and two consecutive Intercontinental Cups; with Capello, four championships, a European Super Cup and a European Cup, in five seasons."

"text": "How Long Does Probate Take?by Michelle Fabio, Esq. Freelance writer One of the most common questions associated with settling a deceased person’s estate is “ How long does it take to probate a will ?” The answer depends on a variety of factors, but in general, probate could take anywhere from a few months to more than a year (or even years). Before we get to what could affect the length of the probate process, though, let’s discuss what probate entails. What Is Probate? Probate is the court-supervised, legal process of settling the estate of a deceased person. If there was a last will and testament, the procedure serves to validate it and settle any disputes over inheritances; if the decedent died without a will, the court must appoint an administrator for the estate. Probate also gives the executor named in the will the legal authority to oversee the probate estate, which includes distributing assets and paying debts. How Does Probate Work? Although the details of the formal probate process vary by state, there are some general steps that are common in every jurisdiction."

"text": "\"What Does a Living Trust Do?by Michelle Fabio, Esq. Freelance writer A living trust, also called an inter vivos or revocable trust, is an estate planning tool increasingly used by individuals and families of all income brackets as a way to pass on property while generally avoiding costs and delays associated with probate. It is one of the most important documents you can prepare in your lifetime. For this reason, it's essential you understand exactly what it can do for you, your estate, and your heirs. Here are six things a living trust does:1. Quickly distributes assets at your death. A living trust is funded by your assets such as property, bank accounts, stocks, and bond accounts and certificates that are transferred to the trust during your lifetime; upon your death, these assets are distributed quickly and easily to your designated beneficiaries by your chosen representative, called a \"\"successor trustee.\"\" Generally, no court action is involved. Without a living trust, your estate may go through probate. The probate process can usually take six months to two years."

"text": "Tigers Rumors Tigers Notes: Draft Slot, Pena, Reyes, Iglesias By Mark Polishuk | April 1, 2018 at 10:11pm CDTThe Royals have $12,781,900 in total to spend within their draft bonus pool, placing them just ahead of the Rays ($12,415,600) and Tigers ($12,414,800). Detroit owns the first overall pick in the draft, which comes with a recommended slot price of $8,096,300. Be sure to check out Callis’ piece for the full rundown of slot prices and the order of the draft’s first 10 rounds, though the draft order could still potentially be shifted if any of the Competitive Balance Round picks are traded. These are the only such draft picks that are eligible to be dealt, and they can only be dealt once the regular season has started. Brayan Pena is still hopeful of continuing his playing career, though Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters (including MLive.com’s Evan Woodbery) that the catcher is also operating in a semi-coaching capacity. Pena signed a minor league deal with Detroit in January but no longer has a spot at the Triple-A level after the Tigers’ signing of Jarrod Saltalamacchia . If Pena can’t find a playing opportunity elsewhere, he’ll transition into working with prospects at extended Spring Training camp and for the Tigers’ Gulf Coast League team. The 36-year-old Pena is a veteran of 12 Major League seasons, hitting .259/.299/.351 over 1950 career PA from 2005-16 while mostly working in a backup catching capacity. Victor Reyes and Jose Iglesias both came up worse for wear after the two Tigers collided in pursuit of a fly ball during the fifth inning of today’s game. Reyes suffered a laceration in his forearm that caused him to leave the game and required eight stitches to close, while Iglesias suffered soreness in both his ankle and calf ( MLive.com’s Evan Woodbery was among those who reported the injury updates.)"

"text": "\"Compensation IRS Aims to Issue New Paycheck Withholding Tables in January Revised W-4 forms are also expected By Stephen Miller, CEBSJan 3, 2018LIKE SAVE PRINT EMAILReuse Permissions Update: IRS Issues New Withholding Tables for 2018The IRS released new withholding tables for 2018 on Jan. 11. Employers were told to adjust employee withholding rates by Feb. 15, 2018. Workers do not need to resubmit Form W-4. HR compensation and payroll managers should work with their internal payroll departments and payroll vendors to ensure that their systems are appropriately adjusted in light of the IRS guidance. See the SHRM Online article IRS Releases New Withholding Tables for 2018. The enactment of the 2017 tax act, which President Donald Trump signed into law on Dec. 22, means the IRS will issue revised tax withholding tables for employees' paychecks. Challenges of moving to the new withholding rates, as reported in the media, follow below. Some sources expect that all employees will need to submit a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, to adjust withholding federal taxes from their paychecks. Others say that the IRS has indicated that this will not be necessary. The expected IRS guidance should clear up this confusion."

Jon Benjamin) – Bob Belcher is the husband of Linda; the father of Tina, Gene, and Louise; the son of Robert Belcher, Sr. ( nicknamed \"\"Big Bob\"\"); and the main character of the series. He is a third-generation restaurateur, as his father owns a diner, and currently the proprietor of his eponymous burger restaurant (Bob's Burgers) in a shore town. The Season 5 episode \"\" Father of the Bob \"\" begins with a flashback set 30 years prior in which a young Bob states that he is 14 years old, making him 44 in the episode's present. It is also mentioned in the episode that Bob's mother had died sometime prior to the series' beginning. Bob has a tendency to entertain himself by having conversations with inanimate objects and then speak back as the inanimate object, usually in a high, squeaky voice."

The 52-year-old Velasquez, also known as \"\"Popeye,\"\" was released Tuesday night from a maximum-security prison in the Colombian province of Boyaca, northeast of Bogota, the capital. He left the prison under heavy police protection. Velasquez surrendered to authorities in 1992, telling a reporter at the time, \"\"I don't owe anything to anybody. I haven't done anything wrong. \"\" But in jailhouse interviews, he admitted several times to killing about 300 people, including soldiers, police officers, rival cartel members and civilians. He also confessed to masterminding the killings of more than 3,000 other people, most of them civilians. Some of his victims died in car bombings in cities across Colombia including Bogota; Medellin, his cartel's home base; and Cali. Velasquez was also responsible for a number of high-profile kidnappings, among them that of Attorney General Carlos Mauro Hoyos in January 1988. Velasquez confessed that he killed Hoyos in captivity."

"text": "\"SPARTANThe modern Spartan program (in contrast to its ancient Greek counterpart) was initiated in 2491, an element of the ORION project. Though not much is known about the first generation of warriors (their training, augmentation, goals, etc. ), they were successful enough to garner the necessary consent for a second phase, aptly named SPARTAN II. Under Dr. Halsey, the Spartans would be developed in conjunction with the MJOLNIR armour project, the culmination of a powered exoskeleton technology that had been used for some time by the UNSC, and when discarded, by frustrated cargo handlers everywhere. The initial goal of the SPARTAN/MJOLNIR project was to provide a surgical strike team capable of dealing with Human rebellions quickly and efficiently, averting the use of large scale military force, and preventing the civil war, and tremendous loss of life, that would have inevitably ensued. A total of 75 children, approximately age six and selected for their specific genetic dispositions (that is, being as close to perfect as science could determine), were \"\"recruited\"\". They were replaced with congenitally defective flash-clones to cover the enlistment, and trained, primarily on and below the surface of Reach, by one Chief Petty Officer Mendez, arguably the best Drill Instructor in the Navy. Their family names, whatever they may have been, were stripped, purged from record, and forever replaced with a 3 digit designation. Their upbringing would be defined not only by gruelling physical routine, but by a comprehensive academic tutelage under Deja, a Class II AI created specifically for the SPARTAN II project. In March of 2525, on the orbital ONI Medical Facility above Reach, the then 14 year old candidates underwent a series of drastic and inadvisable operations to dramatically enhance their skeletal, muscular, optical, and nervous systems (Fo R p.56)."

He shows up periodically throughout the play yet he doesn’t really have many individualistic traits or characteristics that can be linked to him. For example, he usually appears as the smart one who ended up succeeding in life through his intelligence. This intelligence in Bernard is what presents Biff as not-so-much-of a model student because Bernard is one of the first characters who complains about Biff failing his school courses. While Willy is more concerned about him being well liked at the time, Bernard is the sensible and the realistic thinker who mentions the consequences of Willy failing his classes such as not graduating. He has frequent conflicts with Willy, who happens to consider Bernard as annoying and usually yelled at him to either, “Shut up!” or “Get out of here!” · A dynamic character in here would be Biff Loman. Biff, who was close to Willy and respected him during his high school years, changes dramatically in his attitude towards his father and his life in general. Whereas he looked up to Willy before and believed in his words such as when Willy says, “…Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead."

The film begins in the Tokyo apartment of American drug-dealer Oscar (Nathaniel Brown) and his sister Linda (Paz De La Heurta), who followed him to Japan and soon became a stripper.

"text": "\"Culture Secret History of Paul Mc Cartney, the Jewish Beatle Seth Rogovoy November 4, 2013Getty Images Sir Paul Mc Cartney recently released “New,” his first album of original rock songs since 2007’s “Memory Almost Full.” Given the 71-year-old Mc Cartney’s love affair with all things Jewish for the past half-century — including collaborators, business associates, girlfriends and wives — the title could well be meant as a transliteration of the all-purpose Jewish word nu. The nu — I mean, new — album, full of Beatlesque confections in a panoply of styles — is co-produced by Mark Ronson, one of the hottest producers in popular music for the last decade or so, and the scion of a prominent English-Jewish family (the name was originally Aaronson). Ronson got the Mc Cartney gig after DJing his 2011 wedding to Nancy Shevell, which took place on the day after Yom Kippur. Over the holiday, the bride and groom attended services at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St. John’s Wood, near Mc Cartney’s home and close to Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded most of their songs. Reports from the time of the wedding suggested that Mc Cartney was considering a Jewish conversion in deference to his newlywed, but that apparently hasn’t happened — yet. But Shevell is not the first Jewish Lady Mc Cartney; that honor belonged to Mc Cartney’s first wife, Linda Eastman. Born in New York City and raised in Scarsdale, N. Y., Linda Eastman was the daughter of Lee Eastman — the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, born Leopold Vail Epstein — and Louise Sara Lindner. When Linda Eastman and Mc Cartney’s daughter, Stella Mc Cartney, became a fashion designer, she followed family footsteps into the rag trade; her maternal grandfather, Max J. Lindner, was founder of the Lindner Company, the largest women’s clothing store in Cleveland, Ohio. Lindner was a member of the most prominent Reform temple in Cleveland and president of its Men’s Club; active in the Jewish Welfare Fund and in the Jewish country club; and a major philanthropic force in Cleveland’s Jewish community."

"text": "January 20, 2015 by admin Linda Mc Cartney, Another Tough Woman Linda Mc Cartney, unlike Yoko, was white and blonde. Like Yoko, she was hard to put in a box. She is closely identified with the 1960s, during which she took classic photos of rock stars like the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Janis Joplin, and Bob Dylan, and her talent as a photographer was showcased in several books (the best known is perhaps 1992’s Linda Mc Cartney’s Sixties: Portrait of an Era ), as well as in countless galleries. Mc Cartney didn’t court attention by flashing butterfly-wing eyelashes like Pattie Boyd or swizzle-stick dimensions like Twiggy. She didn’t wear a mini anything. She sailed into public consciousness as Paul Mc Cartney’s girlfriend — they married in 1969 — during her Breck Girl phase; then enjoyed a long farm-girl-with-a-mullet phase, when Wings was soaring. She died at 56, in 1998, following her Florence Henderson phase, when she wore gender-negating vests and plain-talked to cameras about her decades-long commitment to animal rights and vegetarianism. At the time of her death, Linda was wealthy in her own right, through her best-selling cookbooks, starting with Linda Mc Cartney’s Home Cooking, and her line of still-going-strong eponymous frozen vegetarian entrées, which, in 1997, had sales in England of more than $56 million. She was also, though it is almost never mentioned, a Jew. In one of the more sustained looks at the iconic Mc Cartney marriage, Tom Doyle’s book Man on the Run: Paul Mc Cartney in the 1970s, there is no mention of Linda’s Judaism, though the Wings drummer Denny Seiwell does note that she “had a lot of chutzpah.”"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Linda (name))navigation search Linda Gender Female Origin Language (s) German Other names Related names Linde, Dietlinde, Sieglinde Linda is a female given name, of German origin, but widespread in the English-speaking world since the end of the nineteenth century. [ 1] The German name Linde was originally an abbreviated form of older names such as Dietlinde and Sieglinde. [ 2] In the form Linda it was used by the writer Jean Paul for a leading character in his four-volume novel Titan, published 1800–1803, and it became popular in German-speaking countries thereafter. [ 2]The name-element Linde is possibly derived from the same root as the linden tree, with reference to a shield made of that wood, [2] but may have become associated with Germanic lind meaning \"\"soft, tender\"\", the image of the tree being used to indicate a gentle personality. Alternatively, Linde may represent Old German Lindi or Linda, meaning a serpent. [ 1] Subsequent support for its appeal may have come from the neo-Latin language (Italian, Spanish or Portuguese) word linda, which is the feminine form of lindo, meaning \"\"beautiful, pretty, cute\"\" (Spanish and Portuguese) and \"\"clean\"\" (Italian). Among other names in use in English speaking countries that include the -linda suffix are Melinda, Belinda, Celinda, and Rosalinda. The name days for Linda are on February 13 (Hungary, Poland), April 15 (Finland/Germany), June 19 (Switzerland), June 20 (Sweden), August 21 (Latvia), September 1 (Czech Republic), September 2 (Slovakia), and September 4 (Poland). In the Albanian version, Linda is a feminine name which means \"\"birth\"\" or \"\"fertility\"\". The masculine form is Lind. ["

Its second series has just finished its run on BBC4. James Garry explains that second series was inadequate compared to the first, because it lacked its tragic star Johanna Sällström. The second series of Wallander finished its thirteen episode run on BBC4 last Saturday. That is, the Swedish Wallander starring Krister Henriksson (as opposed to the Swedish Wallander starring Rolf Larsgaard or the British version starring Kenneth Brannagh). It disappointed me. The first series snared me. When I watched the first series in the summer of 2010, I tuned in every Saturday at 9pm on the dot to be absorbed in two hours of Swedish noir.

There are a few issues to consider. As our society is becoming more and more culturally mixed and travel to the world’s most exotic places is no longer out of the ordinary, the globalization influence on baby name trends is hard to miss. The top name popularity charts are becoming more and more culturally diverse. Names such as Aliyah (Hebrew), Aidan ( Irish ), Guadalupe (Spanish), Amaya (Basque), and Maddox (Welsh) are rising in popularity. Parents are tapping into their cultural roots to give their babies a more unique name that will give the child a strong cultural identification. Your Baby Loves to Travel!International travel is starting to play a role in parent’s naming decisions. With more people choosing to change their place of location and move to different countries, you may want to consider the pronunciation potential of your name choices. The names may suit the place where you live now, but if your baby grows up and decides to live or work in a foreign country, will their name give them too much of a hassle? Many immigrants to the US experience problems with their name pronunciation."

Since babyhood, Matilda has displayed incredible learning ability and develops a strong sense of independence due to her often being left alone at home every weekday when her father is at work, her mother is playing bingo, and Michael is at school.

At age six-and-a-half, Matilda begins to lose patience with her parents, expressing a desire to go to school, which her parents refuse blatantly and mock her.

"text": "\"What does Matilda mean? Pronounce Matilda [ 3 syll. ma - til - da, mat -i- lda ] The baby girl name Matilda is pronounced as Mah-T IH L-Dah (English) †. Matilda is used mostly in English, Italian, Portuguese, and Scandinavian. Its language of origin is Germanic. The meaning of Matilda is mighty in battle. It is a two-element name derived from the words 'maht' and 'hild' which are of the meanings might and battle, fight respectively. An old form of the name is Mahthildis (Germanic). The name was borne by Saint Mathilda (895-968), the queen consort of Henry the Fowler, known for her beauty and piety. The name was also borne by Matilda (-1083), the wife of William the Conqueror; thus the name was introduced to English speakers and was later borne by a daughter of Henry I of England. The name fell out of favor after the medieval period and was revived as a learned form in the 18th century."

"text": "\"Home » Lesson 34: Creating Randomness34.3 - Stratified Random Sampling Printer-friendly version In the two previous sections, we were concerned with taking a random sample from a data set without regard to whether an observation comes from a particular subgroup. When you are conducting a survey, it often behooves you to make sure that your sample contains a certain number of observations from each particular subgroup. We'll concern ourselves with such a restriction here. That is, in this section, we'll focus on ways of using SAS to obtain a stratified random sample, in which a subset of observations are selected randomly from each subgroup of observations as determined by the value of a stratifying variable. We'll also go back to sampling without replacement, in which once an observation is selected it cannot be selected again. Selecting a Stratified Sample of Equal-Sized Groups We'll first focus on the situation in which an equal number of observations are selected from each subgroup of observations as determined by the value of a stratifying variable. Example 34.9. The following code illustrates how to select a stratified random sample of equal-sized groups. Specifically, the code tells SAS to randomly select 5 observations from each of the three subgroups — State College, Port Matilda, Bellefonte — as determined by the value of the variable city: First, launch and run the SAS program. Then, review the resulting output to convince yourself that the code did indeed select, from the mailing data set, five observations from Bellefonte, five observations from Port Matilda, and five observations from State College."

"text": "Malachi Kirby as Kunta Kinte and Emayatzy Corinealdi as Belle in “Roots.” ( Photo by Steve Dietl/History Channel. Copyright 2016)Having grown up without much access to television can sometimes leave me feeling culturally illiterate. But in an era of near-constant remakes and resurrections, the inexperience I haven’t yet been able to remedy can sometimes be a blessing, allowing me to see new works without the shadow the originals cast over them. Such was the case with “Roots,” the History Channel’s resurrection of the mini-series based on Alex Haley’s book of the same name, which is still one of the most widely watched television broadcasts in American history. Not having seen the original “Roots,” I’m not quite sure what I expected from it. But while I often found myself wishing the series had been longer and done more to evade predictable, there was one element of the mini-series that was surprising and gratifying. Amidst its brutality, which I understand to be stepped-up from the original, the new “Roots,” which concluded its run last night, is almost swooningly romantic. At a time when stories about non-white couples’ relationships are still painfully rare, “Roots” draws inspiration from pop culture’s past, and points the way towards a better version of Hollywood’s future. One of the great gifts of “Roots” is the range of parts it offers black actors."

She is a highly precocious six and a half year old girl who has a passion for reading books. Her parents do not recognize her great intelligence and show little interest in her, particularly her father, a secondhand car dealer who has performed numerous abusive actions on her. She discovers she has psychokinetic powers which she uses to her advantage.

She is a smart little girl who taught herself her own education. She rises up to challenges but has a family who doesn't appreciate her hard work and doesn't support her, especially when it comes to her education. Fictional biography [ edit]Matilda is a young girl of genius intelligence, having developed skills such as walking and speech at early ages. However, these prodigious characteristics displayed by her character are perpetually ignored by her wealthy, neglectful, dimwitted parents who deem their daughter's incredible literacy skills and knowledge as worthless and spend more time watching television."

"text": "\"The following article was originally published on our website in late 2004. It was republished in Taproot, Fall/Winter 2006, Vol. 16, No. 2; The Coalition for Education in the Outdoors, Cortland, New York. Young Children's Relationship with Nature: Its Importance to Children's Development & the Earth's Future By Randy White© 2004 White Hutchinson Leisure & Learning Group Almost 150 years ago, nineteenth century psychologist Herbert Spencer published his book, Principals of Psychology, in which he espoused the “surplus energy theory,” explaining that the main reason for children’s play is to get rid of surplus energy. Although researchers and developmental theorists have rejected his theory, it has had an unfortunate and lasting influence on the design of children’s outdoor play environments (Malone 2003). As a result of Spencer’s theory, playgrounds are seen as areas for physical play during recess, where children ‘burn off steam,’ and not for the other domains of development or for learning. In child care settings, playgrounds typically have manufactured climbing equipment, and other than sometimes-manicured grass, are devoid of nature and vegetation. The playgrounds for multitudes of children are not green, but gray (Moore & Wong 1997), many analogous to a parking lot (Worth 2003). Early childhood learning facility designers’ and directors’ point-of-view that playgrounds should be designed for surveillance of children, ease of maintenance and to have a break from children, rather than to stimulate the children themselves, has also contributed to the barren design of outdoor childcare environments where there is neither shade, shelter nor opportunities to interact with nature (Mc Kendrick, Bradford & Fielder 2000, Cheskey 2001, Malone 2003)."

( Rachel Murray/Getty Images for mitu)During hard financial times for Puerto Rico, the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade takes a deeper meaning — one of bigger pride in the capacity to being united in the face of adversity. That’s perhaps why the 2016 version is even more inspired than ever by its ongoing theme — “One Nation, Many Voices” — and why the cheers and the music may be louder and more heartfelt than ever. The 59th version of the parade will storm Fifth Ave. with red, white and blue flags come Sunday, June 12 at 11a.m. As usual, the festivities will start on 44th St. and march north until 79th St., ending about 5 p.m. About 100,000 people are expected to take part in the seemingly never-ending march of floats, music and dancing, while some 1.5 million people cheer them on from the sidewalks. The parade will also be broadcast live on WABC (Ch. 7) and streamed on the station’s website from noon until 4 p.m. The event would be nothing without its honorees, and this year’s are particularly glamorous — starting with Manhattan’s own Rosario Dawson, who has been chosen as Queen of the Parade during a year that has seen the explosion of her profile as a political activist thanks to her support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Spectators cheer during the 2015 Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York. ( James Keivom/New York Daily News)Her king will be New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who was born in Bushwick, Brooklyn, to a Puerto Rican father. The role of grand marshal has been assigned to Ponce, Puerto Rico-born pop singer Ednita Nazario, while the honor of godfather belongs to director and “CSI: Miami” actor Adam Rodriguez."

By CLAUDIA JOSEPHLast updated at 22:14 17 November 2007She spent six years as Argentina's saintly First Lady, inspiring adulation from an impoverished nation as she visited shanty towns in her Dior suits. When Eva Peron died from cancer in 1952 at 33, her funeral inspired mourning on a scale not seen again until the tragedy of Princess Diana. But now a pensioner has caused shockwaves by claiming that she is the illegitimate daughter of Eva, whom admirers had thought was childless. Scroll down for more... Nilda Quartucci, 67, who lives in Buenos Aires, claims she was born during Eva's rise to fame and brought up by her lover - after Eva was told the baby had been stillborn. Permission for Eva's embalmed body to be exhumed, so that a DNA sample can be taken, has been refused by Argentina's appeal court, with Nilda blaming political pressure from the ruling Peronists, whose party has been built on the back of Eva's image. But if Nilda's story is true, the authorities have been in a huge cover-up to maintain the saintly image of the woman popularised worldwide in the musical Evita. \"\" I have known for years I was Evita's daughter,\"\" said Nilda.

These easy Mexican tacos have been a go-to dinner recipe for me for 5+ years, try them and you’ll see why!I actually shared this recipe back in January of 2012 (and I’ve made them probably 100 times since) but I wanted to update the photos and also the method a little. Back then I just added the beef into the slow cooker without browning it first, which yes you can do, but those 6 minutes of browning are a game changer I tell you. It makes such a difference that it’s the only way I’ll make these shredded beef tacos anymore. Also most of the time I usually opt for a cross rib roast instead of a chuck roast. Why? Well it’s a lot less fatty, you get more meat out of it, and it’s still so tender (just like 1 step below the melt-in-your mouth of chuck roast but I don’t like all that gristle much). Once in a while I’ll still use chuck roast though if that’s what’s on sale. You can also go the extra mile and saute 3 or 4 cloves of garlic (in place of the garlic powder) in that same oil in the pot after you’ve browned the roast. Then pour the broth into the pot with the garlic and scrape up those browned bits at the bottom, and finally pour that mixture over the beef in the slow cooker."

"text": "\"History of Mount Diablo Geologic Summary: 165 million B. C. Mt Diablo began as volcanic rock beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean was scraped into a mass between the Pacific tectonic plate and the overlying sedimentary layers of the North American plate. As ice ages affected sea levels, sedimentation continued in shallow coastal seas. About four million years ago, the older, harder volcanic material from the sea floor forced its way up from between the two plates heaving the weaker sedimentary layers up an angle. Over time, younger rock above eroded and by 2 million B. C. the older rock we recognize as Diablo's peaks was exposed as low-lying hills. Human History: ca. 2000 B. C. According to one tradition, at the Dawn of Time, Mt Diablo and Reed's Peak were surrounded by water. From these two islands the creator Coyote and his assistant Eagle-man made Indian people and the world. In a Plains Miwok creation account, Mol-luk (Condor man) lived on the north side of Mt Diablo. His wife, the rock on which he roosted, gave birth to Wek-wek (Prairie Falcon-man). With the help of his grandfather Coyote-man, Wek-wek created Indian people, providing them with \"\"everything, everywhere so they can live\"\"."

"text": "\"The Vocabularist: Where does the word 'budget' come from? Magazine Monitor A collection of cultural artefacts19 March 2015Share Other Chancellor Sir Geoffrey Howe liked the Budget so much he named his dog after it The history of the word budget has nothing to do with budgie (which comes from an Australian phrase meaning \"\"good cockatoo\"\"), but a lot to do with fat cats, leather bottles, and bags of tricks, writes Trevor Timpson. The annual Budget has been dear to the heart of successive chancellors of the Exchequer for centuries. The most famous chancellor in fiction - Plantagenet Palliser in Anthony Trollope's novels - cared more for his budget speech, we are told, than his chances of succeeding to a dukedom. And a later Chancellor, Sir Geoffrey Howe, famously called his dog Budget. Go back six centuries, and Wycliffe's translation of Psalm 33 says God gathers together the waters of the sea \"\"as in a bowge\"\". ( The New International Version has \"\"into jars\"\" - the King James version picturesquely says He gathers the waters \"\"as an heap\"\"). \"\" Bowge\"\" to Wycliffe was a leather bag, or leather bottle. It came from the French \"\"bouge\"\" and before that the Latin \"\"bulga\"\" and before that the Celtic word \"\"bolg\"\" which meant a bag or sack, and is the ancestor of \"\"bulge\"\" and a close cousin of \"\"belly\"\". A century after Wycliffe, English had started to use the French diminutive \"\"bougette\"\" for a bag which could contain letters, news, tools, goods for sale or luggage."

Standard Common Name Sydney Funnel-web Spider Alternative Name/s Sydney Funnelweb Spider, Funnel Web Spider Identification Sydney Funnel-webs are shiny, dark brown to black spiders with finger-like spinnerets (silk-spinning organs) at the end of their abdomen. Males have a large mating spur projecting from the middle of their second pair of legs. If threatened, Sydney Funnel-webs show aggressive behaviour, rearing and displaying their impressive fangs. Size range1.5 cm - 3.5 cm Distribution The Sydney Funnel-web Spider ( Atrax robustus) occurs in New South Wales, from Newcastle to Nowra and west to Lithgow. They especially favour the forested upland areas surrounding the lower, more open country of the central Cumberland Basin. This includes the Hornsby Plateau to the north, the foothills of the Blue Mountains to the west, and the Woronora Plateau to the south.

She speaks with a heavy Southern accent and uses typical Southern slang words and phrases, such as \"\"howdy\"\" and \"\"y'all.\"\" She is very fond of her homeland and its culture, as most notably seen in the episode \"\"Texas,\"\" in which she grows homesick for it and considers leaving Bikini Bottom to return to Texas.

The Big Sandy River is a tributary of the Ohio River, approximately 29 miles (47 km) long, [6] in western West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky in the United States. The river forms part of the boundary between the two states along its entire course. Via the Ohio River, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed. It is formed between Louisa, Kentucky, and Fort Gay, West Virginia, by the confluence of the Tug Fork and Levisa Fork. It flows generally northwardly in a highly meandering course, between Lawrence and Boyd counties in Kentucky and Wayne County in West Virginia. It joins the Ohio between Catlettsburg, Kentucky and Kenova, West Virginia, 8 miles (13 km) west of Huntington, West Virginia, at the common boundary between West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. The river is navigable and carries commercial shipping, primarily coal mined in the immediate region. The name of the river comes from the presence of extensive sand bars."

There was once a time when almost everybody, child and adult, could unify in watching what was once credited by many as the greatest cartoon of all time. And then tragedy struck. After season three, Spongebob Squarepants had its own movie, which went so far as to be shown in theatres. For many, the movie marks the end of the golden age of Spongebob. After the movie, Spongebob's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, resigned as the producer, and a man named Derek Drymon took the reins, and with that shift came many new writers. This would turn out to be a dire mistake. Not for them, no; Spongebob is as profitable as ever."

Squidward is a very selfish individual and displays an unjustified air of superiority. He also has at least 492 self-portraits and is delusional about his talents, such as playing the clarinet, though nobody around him considers him to be very good, except sometimes Sponge Bob and Patrick. Although Squidward's name contains the word \"\"squid,\"\" he has been confirmed to be an octopus in many interviews and episodes. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The series' animators believed that giving him eight tentacles would have made him look burdened and would be too difficult to animate, which is why he is normally depicted with six limbs."

"text": "How to Permanently Improve Your Sandy Soil August 26, 2014 by Wojciech Majda & filed under Compost, Fungi, Soil Biology, Soil Composition, Soil Rehabilitation Size of a pumpkin leaf: 42 cm, that’s 16.5″. Not bad for a sandy soil!One of the problems a lot of people have is how to improve the fertility of sandy soil. One solution is to add more organic matter (compost, manure, wood chips), but unfortunately if you live in a hot and humid climate the stuff you put in the soil is going to decompose quickly, since microbial activity is so fast. That creates a serious problem, because your poor sandy soil is not holding nutrients. You can add fertilizers, but they are going to leech out of your soil very fast. Because of that your fruit trees, shrubs, and vines will be yielding poorly, and they will be susceptible to diseases and pest damage. What’s worse, the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor will taste plain and they will not have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them. How can sandy soil be improved? What you need to do is increase the capacity of your soil to hold nutrients. Then adding fertilizers (either organic or not) will be much more effective, because the stuff you put in your soil will actually stay there. As I mentioned before, compost or mulch are sometimes not the best option because they’re often decomposed very quickly."

"text": "\"Home About Evangelical What Does Blasphemy Mean in the Bible? October 7, 2014 by Jack Wellman 3 Comments What does the word blasphemy mean? Can Christians commit blasphemy today? What is Blasphemy? A secular dictionary defines blasphemy as a profane or contemptuous utterance, act or writing concerning God and can also be an oral reproach of God, God’s name, or His attributes. It could be the act of insulting God and His name or showing a lack of reverence toward God. It is close to slandering His holy name or spreading malicious lies that harm God’s reputation, so blasphemy in a sense is slandering God. The beast blasphemed God’s name (Rev 13) as Satan does but so too will those who receive the future punishment of God for their wickedness and failure to repent (Rev 16). Old Testament Penalty for Blaspheming God’s Name The Hebrew word for blaspheme is basically “curse” and today, God’s name is blasphemed regularly by those who use God’s name and Jesus’ name carelessly and even include euphemisms as curse words like “Oh my God, Jeez, my God, God dam_ it” and so on. Many people say that they’re not really thinking about it but that is all the more reason to not do it because that is a very serious sin."

When we turn to the study of humans, for some reason irrationality commonly prevails -- possibly a reflection of old-fashioned dualism -- and it is considered significant that apes (or birds, which tend to do much better) can be trained to mimic some superficial aspects of human language. But the same rational criteria should hold as in the case of bees and graduate students. Possibly training graduate students to mimic the waggle dance could teach us something about human capacity, though it's unlikely. Similarly, it's possible that training apes to do things with signs can teach us something about the cognitive capacities of apes. That's the way the matter is approached by serious scientists, like Anne and David Premack. Others prefer to fool themselves. ... Namely, if apes have this fantastic capacity, surely a major component of humans extraordinary biological success (in the technical sense), then how come they haven't used it? It's as if humans can really fly, but won't know it until some trainer comes along to teach them. Not inconceivable, but a biological problem, and about the only conceivable scientific consequence of the ape-language experiments, except what they might teach us about ape intelligence by training apes to deal with problems that are outside their normal cognitive range. This is all sentimentality of the worst sort."

"text": "\"Health, Disease, and Healing: The Buddhist Contributionby Pinit Ratanakul Understanding health only in relation to particular parts of the human organism is unacceptable to Buddhism. In the Buddhist holistic perspective, disease is the expression of the disturbed harmony in our life as a whole. Health and disease are among the common experiences of human life, and as such they are the special concern of religion. Religion, in every society, in every stage of history, upholds the value of well-being and health as necessary for a meaningful life and provides its adherents with ways and means to enhance their health and to enable them to deal creatively with human vulnerability to disease, pain, and suffering. There is a consensus that health and well-being do not mean only or simply the absence of pain and suffering or the lack of disease, disability, defects, and death but also have a positive meaning. There is much debate today over what this positive meaning is and what its implications are in matters of life and death in the role and function of health care professionals who serve as promoters of health and healers of disease. Those involved in the discussions are from the disciplines of medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and religion. Each has an insight that sheds light on the questions of human health and the healing process. Religion provides frameworks of belief and pictures of reality that contextualize health, interpret it, and suggest how it should be understood and what kind of behavior promotes it. The Buddha has been known as the Peerless Healer because of his deep concern with mental health, his discovery of the root causes of illness, and the dhamma he prescribed for its cure, comparable to medicine in its protective, preventive, and restorative powers."

I was intrigued why she thought this (“where did you hear that?”, a common question I believe I will be asking often enough), and she informed me that a baby name site told her that. Figures.

"text": "\"The Origins of the Olympic Games HELLAS, “the special oil,” and ATHENS,“the charming”To engage in an issue that contradicts what is formally accepted, and on which there are no written sources, requires courage, imagination, and intuition. You’re in a closed room in utter darkness, groping towards a window, in order to somehow illuminate the space. If at one time Greek and Chinese were indeed one language, this presumes a shared life by these peoples, and a common cradle for mankind in general, in Asia rather than Africa. Those who then left from there through a river passing [in present-day Nepal] would have brought their language as well as their mythology and traditions, religion and art with them. On their journey, which took thousands of years, they would have nostalgically given familiar names to mountains and rivers they traversed, and to the new settlements they established. Apart from Thebes in Egypt, we have a Thebes in Boeotia (north of Athens, in Greece); we have a Malta in the Mediterranean, but also in Siberia, and in Messinia; Erasino river in Argolis (Peloponnesus), Kalavrita, Eretria (Euboea), and in Vravron (Attica). The Ladon river is in Elis, and also in Kalavrita; Kifissos is in Phocis, and also in Attica; there is a Naousa in Paros, and one in Beroia. And the mountains Parnassus, Parnes, and Parnon all have names with similar meanings. The highest mountain in Greece, Olympus, the mountain of the gods, has namesakesin and outside of Greece: in Lauretiki (Attica), Bythinia, Laconia, and on the islands of Euboea, Karpathos, and Lesbos; and abroad in Cyprus, and Asia Minor (in Mysia, Ionia, and Lykia). We can assume that mountains with the same name existed in Asia."

The text has been edited and condensed by IHCC staff and may contain some material from adjacent sermons in the series. F irst Thessalonians was written around 50 AD, and was one of the first epistles written by the apostle Paul. Based on this date, the letter to the church at Thessalonica was written less than 20 years after the crucifixion of Christ. P aul established the church on his second missionary journey. Paul's decision to make this journey is recorded in Acts 15:36. Originally, Paul and Barnabas planned to make the trip together, but after disagreeing on whether to take Mark with them, Barnabas separated from Paul, taking Mark with him to Cyprus. Paul decides to bring a new associate, Silas, with him to Thessalonica (Acts 15:37-40). Early in the tour, the Holy Spirit keeps them from going into areas of Asia, directing them instead to Macedonia (Acts 16:9). So Paul and Silas leave Troas, and depart for Macedonia, taking the gospel to Europe for the first time."

The Greek Σιλας and the Latin Silvanus literally translates to “of the forest” or “living in the woods,” derivative of “silva” meaning “wood.” The Biblical Silas lived in the 1st century A. D. and was considered a leader within the Early Christian movement. He is most known as a prophet from Jerusalem who accompanied Paul on one of his missionary journeys to strengthen the churches. Silas’ story is mainly retold in the Book of Acts 16. During one of their missions, Paul and Silas are jailed by pagan Roman citizens for “disturbing their city” and for advocating “customs that are not lawful” [Acts 16:20-21]. While imprisoned, the two men break out into song (i.e., hymns to God) prompting an earthquake that miraculously shakes their jail doors open and their shackles free. The jailor himself was apparently so impressed, he converted to Christianity on the spot! The name Silas was first adopted among English speakers by the Puritans in the 16th century (during the Protestant Reformation). It was their modest custom to bestow lesser-known Biblical names on their children as an act of humility before God. Popularity of the Name Silas The name Silas has been in American circulation since colonial times thanks to the early Puritan settlers."

The daughter of a successful artisan and land agent, Mary Anne grew up to become one of the most successful and popular novelists of the 19th century, adored by Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin, amongst many others. ‘She really was one of the most sceptical, unusual creatures I ever knew,’ wrote the English writer William Hale White five years after Eliot’s death, ‘and it was this side of her character which was to me the most attractive’, adding that she was, ‘the most admirable woman, mentally, I have ever met.’ ‘ Mentally’, but certainly not physically.

Here the 48-year-old talks all things health and happiness, from lending clothes to her kids' Instagram photo shoots to drinking tequila to help her stay beautiful. Why did you decide to go into skincare and start Meaningful Beauty? I always felt as a model, my job was to take care of my skin. Just show up so that everyone else could do their job, which meant that I fit the clothes, that my skin looked good, that my hair was clean, that my nails looked decent. I always took that seriously as part of my job. I met Dr. Sebagh when I was 28 and I just loved the vitamin treatments he was doing and the way my skin felt. And I would jokingly say, 'Why can't you bottle this stuff?' So we did!Can you tell me about the new serum?"

Seaman based on the 1957 story of the same name by Dr. Seuss. The film was released by Universal Pictures on November 17, 2000. It was the first Dr. Seuss book to be adapted into a full-length feature film. Because the film is based on a children's picture book, many additions were made to the storyline to bring it up to feature-length, including some information about the backstory of the title character and reworking the story's minor character Cindy Lou Who as a main character. Most of the rhymes that were used in the book were also used in the film, though some of the lines were to some degree changed, and several new rhymes were put in. The film also borrowed some music and character elements (such as the Grinch's green skin tone) that originated in the 1966 animated TV special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The film was produced by Howard and Brian Grazer, and starring Jim Carrey, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin, Molly Shannon, Josh Ryan Evans (in his final theatrical role), and introducing Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who. The film spent four weeks at #1 in the United States and grossed $260 million in the United States and over $345 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing holiday film of all time, with Home Alone being the first.

The simple answer is YES! Those who believe otherwise are delusional, or they need more information than they’ve had up until now. First of all, it is NOT okay for one spouse to commit violence against the other. It is something God hates. Also, for those of you who are victims of abuse in your marriage, PLEASE don’t be fooled into thinking that you “deserve it.” You don’t. Your spouse may tell you this is so and saying that the Bible even condones it, but that is not true."

"text": "\"Home » Trust and Estates Quit Claim Deed Vs. Warranty Deed By Cindy Hill Cindy Hill Buyers obtain legal title to a piece of real estate by means of a deed from the seller. The two primary forms of deeds are the quit claim deed and the warranty deed. Although warranty deeds convey more extensive assurances about legal title to the property, there are times when a quit claim deed is the most appropriate, or only possible means of conveyance. Function of a Warranty Deed A warranty deed is the most common real estate title transfer document. A properly executed warranty deed conveys full title to the purchaser along with certain assurances regarding the title and the seller's ownership of the property. Significance of a Warranty Deed By signing a warranty deed, a seller guarantees that he has full title to the property, is competent to transfer the property and that the property is is not burdened by such encumbrances as liens, leases or rights-of-way other than those disclosed in the deed. The seller also guarantees that he will defend the buyer against anyone who attempts to claim title to the property and to fix any errors that might be found regarding the property title. Function of a Quit Claim Deed A quit claim deed is a statement of release of whatever interest the seller may have in a piece of property. It states that the seller is uncertain what her legal interests in the parcel may be, but to the extent that such interests exist, she is releasing those interests to the buyer."

Usually though people are asking about the Camino Frances to Santiago, and for that reason that is the route this post refers to. January and December: unless you are located the other side of the equator January and December are winter. Winter in Spain can sometimes be fairly cold, in 2008 there were snow blizzards in what was the worst winter for 15 years – last year, (2015), there was again lots of snow on the hills after Leon, however 2011/2012 was a warmer winter all over Europe. So you can plan in advance but in the winter be prepared and check the forecast before heading up any of the hills, especially from St Jean Pied de Port. Apart from the weather the other main problem between the end of Oct and the start of Easter is that some places are closed, especially between 15th December and 15th of January. If you are walking at this time of the year make sure your guide book has updated information on what hostels and albergues are open. I would not make the choice to walk at this time of the year, however many don’t have a choice due to time constraints. Here are some threads from the forum about preparation for winter walking and some people walking this winter. January 2015 Camino Frances January 2012 Walk November 2011 Walk Camino Frances in the Winter Walking in Jan & Feb Also this post on Sil’s blog has loads of good advice from someone who has actually walked the Camino during the winter."

"text": "Publix shoppers in AL will soon be able to get same day delivery via Shipt February 25, 2015<< Previous Next >>Recommend This Post 131Grocery retailers continue to experiment with third-party providers for the last mile of delivery, which suggests that – at least in the short term – the benefits of generating incremental sales with “no investment” are more important to them than the risks in this arrangement. Shipt brings grocery delivery service to Publix starting this May, starting with 14 Birmingham, Alabama stores per a Business Journal article. This is an extension of Shipt's current same-day delivery service for stores such Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, The Apple Store, Staples, Babies R Us, Toys R Us and Macy’s. Here’s what we know about Shipt. Shipt is similar to Instacart in several ways, including the green shirts. “ Pilots” (aka shoppers) are independent contractors who are compensated on the basis of orders delivered – a low-cost model, but one that shifts a lot of the management to the individuals, which means it’s probably not the most efficient way to do it. Pilots also pick the orders, so the quality of perishable selections and the choice of substitutes are totally in their hands. Per their FAQ, they plan to mark up prices to cover the cost of picking and packing. The minimum order for groceries will be $35; unlimited deliveries of any size are available for $99 per year (or $49 for the first 1,000 shoppers who sign up). Shipt will only serve Publix stores to start, but they plan to add other grocery stores in the future, and to expand into Atlanta, Nashville and Washington, DC next year."

As one such property, Star Trek has seen a massive resurgence following J. J. Abrams’ three films. Now, the iconic sci-fi franchise will head back to television, with the announcement from CBS that the network will bring Star Trek back as a full-on series. It comes as an interesting turn of events, given that the original TV series has already gone through a whole host of reboots over the last half-century of its existence. Already we’ve seen Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, in addition to the original 1966 iteration. This makes CBS’ planned show the sixth TV series in the franchise’s history (if you discount Star Trek: The Animated Series, which Gene Roddenberry considered non-canon). So what can we expect moving forward? Here’s what we know (and don’t know) so far.1.

But its launch date was later pushed to May 2017 – to allow more time to fine-tune the scripts. In a joint statement, Fuller and Kurtzman said: \"\"Bringing Star Trek back to television carries a responsibility and mission: to connect fans and newcomers alike to the series that has fed our imaginations since childhood. \"\" We aim to dream big and deliver, and that means making sure the demands of physical and post-production for a show that takes place entirely in space, and the need to meet an air date, don't result in compromised quality. © Twitter Star Trek\"\"Before heading into production, we evaluated these realities with our partners at CBS and they agreed: Star Trek deserves the very best, and these extra few months will help us achieve a vision we can all be proud of. \"\""

"text": "\"Small Business Starting a Business What if Someone Is Using the Same Business Name in Canada? Federal Incorporation and Trademarking Give the Best Protection Share Flip Pin Email By Susan Ward Updated September 22, 2016Question: What if someone is using my business name? Answer: Generally, all businesses operating in Canada must comply with federal, provincial, and municipal laws regarding business names. However, if you discover that someone else is operating a business using your business name, you may or may not be able to do anything about it. How Your Business Is Structured Determines the Degree of Name Protection Whether or not you have any right to ask someone who is using the same business name that you're using to stop using it depends on what level of name protection you have, so to speak. And that depends on how you've legally structured your business. People think that just registering their business name means that they're the only ones entitled to use it, but that's not true. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are the easiest forms of business ownership to set up, but registering either of these forms of business gives absolutely no business name protection. Anyone can start a business with the same or a similar name if they wish. Incorporation, on the other hand, does give some business name protection."

Fibre is a complex carbohydrate (type of sugar) but unlike other carbohydrates, which are broken down by the body to provide fuel in the form of glucose, fibre cannot be digested by the human body. See our page: What are Carbohydrates? for more information. We gain no nutrients or energy from fibre, it holds no calories as it is not digested, but passes through our digestive systems. Fibre or ‘roughage’ does, however, provide an important function in the body; it is essential to a well-tuned digestive system and can help the body remove potentially harmful waste. Nutritionists usually recommend that people increase their intake of high fibre foods. Studies have shown that most western diets contain only about half the recommended fibre."

She was a blabbermouth in the earlier seasons, but got over that eventually, though her younger sister Michelle received that trait as well (but she grew out of it, also, at an earlier age than Stephanie). Stephanie is often defiant of her sister D. J. in the earlier seasons, but they eventually become much closer and bicker less as the series progresses, though her nosy habit of reading D. J. 's diary never faded, though her snooping on D. J. 's phone calls was gone by then; the diary reading habit was already gone by the final season. Stephanie is the most excitable of the girls—a trait she inherited from her mother, and the most talkative—a trait from her father. She often struggles with being the middle child and wanting attention (as seen in season 2 's \"\" Middle Age Crazy \"\"). Still, she is quite well-behaved and very hard on herself whenever she did something wrong. For example, in season 3 's \"\" Honey, I Broke the House \"\", after accidentally crashing Joey 's car into the kitchen, she considers running away from home, and after being punished, is still hard on herself that she hides under the covers of her bed. Danny assures her that there's always the chance of building a new wall or even buying a new car, but there's only one Stephanie Judith Tanner that can never, ever be replaced."

Here's why.by Stephen Shankland October 15, 2012 12:00 AM PDTIntel co-founder Gordon Moore speaking in 2007 at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Stephen Shankland/CNETYear in, year out, Intel executive Mike Mayberry hears the same doomsday prediction: Moore's Law is going to run out of steam. Sometimes he even hears it from his own co-workers. But Moore's Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, who 47 years ago predicted a steady, two-year cadence of chip improvements, keeps defying the pessimists because a brigade of materials scientists like Mayberry continue to find ways of stretching today's silicon transistor technology even as they dig into alternatives. ( Such as, for instance, super-thin sheets of carbon graphene. ) Oh, and don't forget the money that's driving that hunt for improvement. IDC predicts chip sales will rise from $315 billion this year to $380 billion in 2016. For decades, that revenue has successfully drawn semiconductor research out of academia, through factories, and into chips that have powered everything from a 1960s mainframe to a 2012 i Phone 5."

Here is wikipedia passage that might be useful: In econometrics, Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) tests are used for testing a null hypothesis that an observable time series is stationary around a deterministic trend. Such models were proposed in 1982 by Alok Bhargava in his Ph. D. thesis where several John von Neumann or Durbin–Watson type finite sample tests for unit roots were developed (see Bhargava, 1986). Later, Denis Kwiatkowski, Peter C. B. Phillips, Peter Schmidt and Yongcheol Shin (1992) proposed a test of the null hypothesis that an observable series is trend stationary (stationary around a deterministic trend). The series is expressed as the sum of deterministic trend, random walk, and stationary error, and the test is the Lagrange multiplier test of the hypothesis that the random walk has zero variance. KPSS type tests are intended to complement unit root tests, such as the Dickey–Fuller tests."

Read at your own risk.] Well, that was pretty bloody perfect. Although the titular character of NBC's Hannibal can sometimes feel like a supporting player in the exploits of Hugh Dancy 's Will Graham, the Season 2 finale reminded everyone who the real star of this show is. Although Will and Jack ( Laurence Fishburne) executed their elaborate plan to lure Hannibal ( Mads Mikkelsen) into a trap as well they could've hoped, in the end Dr. Lecter's superhuman sense of smell gave him the upper hand. Hannibal postmortem: Where do Will's true loyalties lie? When Will took a meeting with the not-dead Freddie Lounds ( Lara Jean Chorostecki ) before heading to Hannibal's office to help him destroy all his patient notes, Hannibal caught a whiff of the nosy redhead and instantly realized he'd been duped. However, Hannibal played along as Will continued to wrestle with whether or not he could actually betray Hannibal. However, when Kade Purnell ( Cynthia Nixon) pulled the plug on Jack and Will's secret operation, Jack turned in his badge and gun and headed straight to Hannibal's house. When Alana ( Caroline Dhavernas) informed Will what was up, Will called to warn Hannibal that Jack was coming."

"text": "Posted February 14, 2016 12:03 am - Updated February 15, 2016 12:45 am By JAMES BROOKSJUNEAU EMPIREPumped up: The concealed truth behind gas prices Gasoline prices have fallen under $3 in Juneau. The automatic pump at Fishermen's Bend in Auke Bay, pictured here Friday, have the lowest prices in town. Gas prices have dipped below the $3 level in Juneau for the first time in years, seen here at Safeway on Wednesday. At 11 a.m. every weekday, Wade Bryson sits in a small swivel chair, leans close to a microphone, and listens to problems. For the past eight years, Bryson has been the host of KINY-AM’s “Problem Corner,” an on-air venue that’s part garage sale, part public forum. For more than a quarter-century, Juneau residents have turned to Problem Corner to sell their old cars, spread local news and talk about the issues troubling them. Lately, that talk has focused on one topic in particular: the price of gasoline. “Most people felt like they were getting gouged,” Bryson said, “because we heard stories all over the news about gas prices dropping, and Juneau’s just weren’t coming down. ... That just exacerbated everyone’s frustration with the high cost of living here. ”In quiet moments on the show, Bryson only had to mention the topic and the phones would light up, setting off a strobe light on a studio wall to indicate an incoming call."

Unfortunately, it seems to me that the majority of people who don't know this, you won't find here. They're casual listers on ebay. Media Mail is extremely restrictive. You can't have a letter or even a note in the package with the book/tape/CD. You also technically cannot send magazines via Media Mail since they contain advertisements.

Last post 05:29 am July 31, 2014by Ludwig Harsch12 replies Author Messages Roy Holzem 08:33 am November 26, 2012Hello,I'm very new to SCRUM (started today), I have been googling for a precise answer and found controversial results. Some say Project Managers are Product Owners, some say it is a totally different role. When I look at the roles of SM and PO while comparing it to the waterfall Project Manager role, it seems like there are values of both roles that are fitting the Project Manager's functions. Really looking forward to get a constructive feedback here. Best Regards,Roy Patrick O'Connor 10:30 am November 26, 2012Hi Roy,Traditional project managers could fall into either of the roles of scrum master or product owner depending on their skills/inclinations. I'm a trained project manager and I worked my way there starting as a software developer. In my current role I am the scrum master of the scrum of scrums facilitating the co-ordination/communication between the scrum masters of several scrum teams. I've heard of other project managers who were more business/customer focused and they found that they were more suited to the product owner role within scrum. Best regards, Patrick Ryan Cromwell 10:51 am November 26, 2012Scrum doesn't acknowledge nor directly exclude any role of Product Manager."

He is presumably the product of a PCP-fueled affair between his mother Monica Gallagher and Frank Gallagher's brother, Clayton Gallagher, in the summer of 1995. Ian has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder; he currently refuses to visit the doctor and does not believe he needs to take medication. For these reasons his behaviour has been erratic and out of control, worrying his family. He is a high school drop out, having left his education behind when illegally enlisting himself in the army ( Season 3 ). While in the army, Ian attempted to steal a helicopter, and is now a wanted criminal on (at least) two charges: attempted theft of government property and impersonating his older brother, Phillip Gallagher. He was in a relationship with the aggressive neighbourhood thug, Mickey Milkovich, and was best friends with Mickey's sister, Mandy Milkovich; he had complete hatred for Mandy's abusive boyfriend, Kenyatta, with whom she moved away to Indiana in Season 5. He helped around the house and assisted Mickey and Svetlana with the care of their son Yevgeny . Ian is not as intelligent as Lip, but he is more physically fit and has an excellent work ethic in nearly everything he does. He is often uncertain of what he wants to do in his life, but once he makes a goal for himself he goes after it 100 percent."

I'm Terry Gross. Our guest, British actor Ian Mc Kellen, is probably best known to American audiences as the wizard Gandalf in \"\"The Hobbit\"\" and \"\"The Lord Of The Rings\"\" films, a role that earned him one of his two Oscar nominations. But he's been acting in film, theater and television for more than 50 years and is so highly regarded in England that he was knighted in 1991. Among his other films are \"\"Scandal,\"\" \"\"Six Degrees Of Seperation,\"\" \"\"Richard The Third,\"\" \"\"Gods And Monsters\"\" and three \"\"X-Men\"\" films. Mc Kellen, who came out in 1988, has been a prominent gay rights activist in the U. K. and was co-grand marshal of this year's Gay Pride march in New York. Ian Mc Kellen spoke with FRESH AIR contributor Dave Davies about his career and his latest movie, in which he plays an aging Sherlock Holmes. In the film, called \"\"Mr. Holmes,\"\" the famous detective is 93 and living on a seaside farm when events prompt him to try and remember his last case, one that made them retire from the profession years earlier."

I sing baritone now, and am very happy singing baritone. As I write this, I’m 30 years old, and my voice has grown into itself. My experiences singing as a tenor probably slowed down my career as a baritone somewhat, but those experiences also made me a much smarter singer.

Introduction Of the three alleged 'fathers of heavy metal' (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple), Deep Purple are probably the least well-known, at least in the West. This is a great shame. On one hand, this is certainly understandable: Deep Purple came a bit later than both the Zepsters and Sabbath (I mean, their first album was released before both Zep and Sabbath were even formed, but they didn't really acquire their image as 'heavy metal gods' until after In Rock, released already after both Zep's and Sabbath' grandiose debuts), and seemed to say and offer much less than both of these bands."

Cool Climate Grasses These include-Fescues Ryes Bent Bluegrass Warm Climate Grasses These include-Buffaloes Durban Paspalum Couches Queensland Blue Zoysias Kikuya Before reading on, I would like to point out that I have been laying lawns for over thirty years. I am not a turf grower but an end user and, for over a decade, gone one step further by trying to recover established lawns that have retroceded over time. I have nothing against turf farmers- after all, they are in business to make money; the thing is- they’re not overly familiar with the problems associated with the turf they sell further down the line of time. The turf farmers have done an EXCELLENT job marketing soft-leafed buffalo- especially Sir Walter. In fact, when a homeowner decides that they want to lay a new lawn, the first thing they think of is soft-leafed buffalo; and most of them will then think of Sir Walter. Soft-leafed buffalo has certainly become the ‘flavour of the month’ and with all the publicity they’ve been getting and advertising on radio and television, they’ve become the most sought after grass on the market. And, yet, with so much positive publicity, most people are unaware of the problems and disadvantages associated with buffalos. For instance, the turf-growers have been pushing soft-leafed buffalos for years, promoting their lush, green growth and full-bodied texture. The problem is- the consumer has not been told that some of the buffaloes have very vibrant growth which will lead to a very thick thatch requiring attention every few years."

"text": "\"Allegory/ Our Library / Dictionaries / Quick Reference Dictionary / Allegory Share Tweet Save Dictionaries - Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology - Allegory Allegory [N] [E] [S]A popular form of literature in which a story points to a hidden or symbolic parallel meaning. Certain elements, such as people, things, and happenings in the story, point to corresponding elements in another realm or level of meaning. The closer the resemblances between the two realms, the more detailed is the allegory. The best allegories are interesting, coherent stories in their own right and through the story provide new insight into the realm they depict (e.g., Pilgrim's Progress and The Narnia Chronicles ). Semitic parables, including the Gospel parables, have varying amounts of allegorical elements. Those with many corresponding elements in both realms are properly called allegories. Allegorical interpretation, sometimes called allegorizing, is interpretation of texts that treats them as allegorical, whether or not their author intended them to be allegories. Allegorical interpretations even of true allegories can be misleading, either in incorrectly identifying the corresponding elements in the referent or in identifying corresponding elements where no correspondence was originally intended. Either allegorizing error usually detracts from the coherence of the message the author intended. Such unwarranted allegorizing was prevalent in the later church fathers and often ludicrous in gnostic circles."

"text": "\"For the Sake of Conversation: On shot reverse shot Written for Aotg.com by Parker Mott Parker's Site: www.thefinaltake.com Twitter: @parkermott“Shot reverse shot” is a staple of editing in dialogue sequences. Conventionally, it utilizes the 180 degree rule, the eye line match, and rule of change among others. Film historian David Bordwell defines the film technique “wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking \"\"back\"\" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer unconsciously assumes that they are looking at each other.” ( Bordwell)The primary elements of a shot/reverse shot sequence are derived from the three-camera set up. The shots you should have for a basic shot reverse shot are: a two-shot of the characters usually in wide or medium shot; an over the shoulder shot on character A; and an over the shoulder shot on character B. The diagram below should give you an idea of the set up. This technique is instrumental for Hollywood’s classical editing style, as it typically provides continuity in conversation with characters filmed at eye-level. It is meant to immerse audiences in the dialogue – and thus the story – instead of directing their attention to the visual style. Shot reverse shot originally served this type of “invisible editing”, never calling attention to itself and staying within the bounds of continuous time and space. But filmmakers have also discovered ways of dramatically enhancing shot reverse shot, through stylistic means that are a little more pronounced."

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a humour which employs the use of ‘Stories within a Story’ style in a mix of fantasy and realistic fiction. The story introduces Walter Mitty, an average American Male, who escapes his mundane life by resorting to elaborate fantasies. Anyone who has ever day dreamed can relate to Walter. Indeed, the name Walter Mitty has become synonymous with a person who enriches his private life with daydreams while working or listening to everyday conversations. The story focuses on escapism from mundane life into the world of fantasies triggered by stimuli. The story portrays stereotypical male and female roles for e.g. the timid husband, the hero, and the over – bearing wife. Conflicts in the Story: Internal: Mitty in the real world versus Mitty in his fantasy world. External :· Mitty versus his wife· Mitty versus society especially his struggle to follow conventional social norms.

Here's a few notes to clear up some misconceptions that many other commentors seem to have. The flick was NOT ever intended to be an accurate portrayal of New York gang life, although there were some realistic elements. At the time it was generally accepted that it took place in the future, although nothing in the movie supports this. At best it can be considered an urban fable that takes place in a sort-of-imaginary world. You know, like Pulp Fiction (you think 90s LA gangsters dressed like that??). Second, the film itself was not accused of inciting violence. Problem was, it was a VERY popular film with gang members, who would show up in force. Two rival gangs would show up at the same theater, and... you can figure the rest out yourself. One guy was killed on the first weekend the movie was playing in New York; after that, the distributor hired off-duty police for security at every theater across the country that showed the flick."

Simplified Gluconeogenesis Pathway Gluconeogenesis ( GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non- carbohydrate carbon substrates. From breakdown of proteins, these substrates include glucogenic amino acids (although not ketogenic amino acids ); from breakdown of lipids (such as triglycerides ), they include glycerol (although not fatty acids ); and from other steps in metabolism they include pyruvate and lactate. Gluconeogenesis is one of several main mechanisms used by humans and many other animals to maintain blood glucose levels, avoiding low levels ( hypoglycemia ). Other means include the degradation of glycogen ( glycogenolysis) [1] and fatty acid catabolism. Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. [ 2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process. [ 3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic."

Glucose and fructose are simple sugars that have the same chemical formula with a different structural arrangement of the atoms. Glucose is a source of energy for all of your tissues, and can be stored by the body for energy upon demand. It's also used to make other sugars needed in your genetic material and connective tissues. Fructose is primarily metabolized in your liver, and excesses are used to make body fat. Glycolysis Glycolysis is the initial process in the harvesting of energy from glucose.

"text": "\"Difference Between Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis Posted on June 27, 2012 by admin Glycolysis vs Gluconeogenesis Cells take energy by the hydrolysis of ATP molecules. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is also known as the ‘currency’ of the biological world, and it is involved in most cellular energy transactions. ATP synthesis requires cells to perform exergonic reactions. Both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways have nine intermediates and seven enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The regulation of these pathways in animal cells involves one or two major control mechanisms; allosteric regulation and hormonal regulation. What is Glycolysis? The glycolysis or glycolytic pathway is a sequence of ten step reactions that converts one glucose molecule or any of several related sugars into two pyruvate molecules with the formation of two ATP molecules. Glycolysis pathway does not require oxygen so that it can happen in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. All the intermediate states existent in this pathway have either 3 or 6 carbon atoms. All the reactions present in the glycolysis pathway can be put into five categories, namely, phosphoryl transfer, phosphoryl shift, isomerization, dehydration, and aldol cleavage."

Pyruvic acid Oxaloacetic acid The reaction it catalyzes is:pyruvate + HCO −3 + ATP → oxaloacetate + ADP + PIt is an important anaplerotic reaction that creates oxaloacetate from pyruvate. The enzyme is a mitochondrial protein containing a biotin prosthetic group, [1] requiring magnesium or manganese and acetyl Co A. Pyruvate carboxylase was first discovered in 1959 at Western Reserve University by M. F. Utter and D. B. Keech. [ 6] [7] Since then it has been found in a wide variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes including fungi, bacteria, plants, and animals. [ 8] In mammals, PC plays a crucial role in gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis, in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, and in glucose-induced insulin secretion by pancreatic islets. Oxaloacetate produced by PC is an important intermediate, which is used in these biosynthetic pathways. [ 9] In mammals, PC is expressed in a tissue-specific manner, with its activity found to be highest in the liver and kidney (gluconeogenic tissues), in adipose tissue and lactating mammary gland (lipogenic tissues), and in pancreatic islets. Activity is moderate in brain, heart and adrenal gland, and least in white blood cells and skin fibroblasts. ["

Generally, ketosis occurs when the body is metabolizing fat at a high rate and converting fatty acids into ketones. Ketosis is a nutritional process characterised by serum concentrations of ketone bodies over 0.5 m M, with low and stable levels of insulin and blood glucose. [ 1] [2] It is almost always generalized with hyperketonemia, that is, an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood throughout the body. Ketone bodies are formed by ketogenesis when liver glycogen stores are depleted (or from metabolising medium-chain triglycerides [3] ). Ketones can also be consumed in exogenous ketone foods and supplements. The main ketone bodies used for energy are acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, [4] and the levels of ketone bodies are regulated mainly by insulin and glucagon. [ 5] Most cells in the body can use both glucose and ketone bodies for fuel, and during ketosis, free fatty acids and glucose synthesis ( gluconeogenesis) fuel the remainder. Longer-term ketosis may result from fasting or staying on a low-carbohydrate diet ( ketogenic diet ), and deliberately induced ketosis serves as a medical intervention for various conditions, such as intractable epilepsy, and the various types of diabetes.

The Cori cycle and glucose-alanine cycle References What is the Cori cycle? The Cori cycle, or glucose-lactate cycle, was discovered by Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Theresa Radnitz, a husband-and-wife team, in the ‘30s and ‘40s of the last century . They demonstrated the existence of a metabolic cooperation between the skeletal muscle working under low oxygen conditions and the liver. This cycle can be summarized as follows:the conversion of glucose to lactic acid, or lactate, by anaerobic glycolysis in skeletal muscle cells;the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream, by which it is transported to the liver;the conversion of lactate to glucose by hepatic gluconeogenesis;the diffusion of glucose from the hepatocytes into the bloodstream, by which it is transported back to the skeletal muscle cells, thereby closing the cycle. Summarizing, we have: part of the lactate produced in skeletal muscle is converted to glucose in the liver, and transported back to skeletal muscle, thus closing the cycle. Glucose → Lactate →Glucose The importance of this cycle is demonstrated by the fact that it may account for about 40% of plasma glucose turnover. ⇑ Back to the top ⇑Where does the Cori cycle occur?"

So, I understand that anaerobic glycolysis results in 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH and 2 net ATP. Is the whole anaerobic purpose of glycolysis to make the 2 net ATP? Then pyruvate and NADH are waste products? Also, pyruvate then reduces to lactic acid. What is the need for this? NADH is oxidized to NAD+. How is NAD+ used? Also, lactic acid is eventually converted back to pyruvate through Cori cycle."

How Do We Get Glucose? Overview The foods you eat contain different combinations of carbohydrates, fats and protein, which are composed of complex molecules capable of providing your body with energy. But first, certain essential nutrients, such as B-vitamins, are required to metabolize the complex molecules into smaller units that your cells can readily convert into energy to power your body. B-complex is a term referring to the water-soluble B-vitamin group, most of which are essential for cellular metabolism. Thiamine Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is needed to metabolize complex sugars, like those found in carbohydrates and amino acids, which are derived from protein. The catabolism of complex sugars yields molecules of glucose, the primary source of energy for your body, as noted in “Human Biochemistry and Disease. ”Riboflavin Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, maintains an important role in energy metabolism, especially for the break-down of fatty material, or ketones, carbohydrates and proteins. The cells in your body need the larger molecules within foods to be broken down into usable units of energy such as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. These smaller molecules are then transported to your cell’s mitochondria where the energy conversion takes place."

"text": "Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process by which organisms produce sugars (namely glucose) for catabolic reactions from non-carbohydrate precursors. Glucose is the only energy source used by the brain (with the exception of ketone bodies during times of fasting), testes, erythrocytes, and kidney medulla. In mammals this process occurs in the liver and kidneys. Introduction The need for energy is important to sustain life. Organisms have evolved ways of producing substrates required for the catabolic reactions necessary to sustain life when desired substrates are unavailable. The main source of energy for eukaryotes is glucose. When glucose is unavailable, organisms are capable of metabolizing glucose from other non-carbohydrate precursors. The process that coverts pyruvate into glucose is called gluconeogenesis. Another way organisms derive glucose is from energy stores like glycogen and starch. Overview Gluconeogenesis is much like glycolysis only the process occurs in reverse."

[ 1] Because the Malawian government was initially slow to respond to the epidemic under the leadership of Hastings Banda (1966–1994), the prevalence of HIV/AIDS increased drastically between 1985, when the disease was first identified in Malawi, and 1993, when HIV prevalence rates were estimated to be as high as 30% among pregnant women. [ 1] The Malawian food crisis in 2002 resulted, at least in part, from a loss of agricultural productivity due to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. [ 1] Various degrees of government involvement under the leadership of Bakili Muluzi (1994–2004) and Bingu wa Mutharika (2004–2012) resulted in a gradual decline in HIV prevalence, and, in 2003, many people living in Malawi gained access to antiretroviral therapy. [ 1] Condoms have become more widely available to the public through non-governmental organizations, and more Malawians are taking advantage of HIV testing services. [ 1]Due to several successful television and radio campaigns by the Malawian government and non-governmental organizations in Malawi, levels of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS are high among the general population. [ 2] However, many men have adopted fatalistic attitudes in response to the epidemic, convincing themselves that death from AIDS is inevitable; on the other hand, some have implemented preventative techniques such as partner selection to try to reduce their risk of infection. [ 3] Although many women have developed strategies to protect themselves from HIV, women are more likely to be HIV-positive than men in Malawi. [ 1] The epidemic has affected sexual relationships between partners, who must cooperate to protect themselves from the disease. [ 4] In addition, many teachers exclude HIV/AIDS from their curricula because they are uncomfortable discussing the topic or because they do not feel knowledgeable about the issue, and, therefore, many children are not exposed to information about HIV/AIDS at school.

To identify and investigate relationships based on shared genes or shared functional features, we have conducted a bioinformatic-based global analysis of all orphan diseases with known disease-causing mutant genes. Starting with a bipartite network of known OD and OD-causing mutant genes and using the human protein interactome, we first construct and topologically analyze three networks: the orphan disease network, the orphan disease-causing mutant gene network, and the orphan disease-causing mutant gene interactome. Our results demonstrate that in contrast to the common disease-causing mutant genes that are predominantly nonessential, a majority of orphan disease-causing mutant genes are essential. In confirmation of this finding, we found that OD-causing mutant genes are topologically important in the protein interactome and are ubiquitously expressed. Additionally, functional enrichment analysis of those genes in which mutations cause ODs shows that a majority result in premature death or are lethal in the orthologous mouse gene knockout models. To address the limitations of traditional gene-based disease networks, we also construct and analyze OD networks on the basis of shared enriched features (biological processes, cellular components, pathways, phenotypes, and literature citations). Analyzing these functionally-linked OD networks, we identified several additional OD-OD relations that are both phenotypically similar and phenotypically diverse. Surprisingly, we observed that the wiring of the gene-based and other feature-based OD networks are largely different; this suggests that the relationship between ODs cannot be fully captured by the gene-based network alone. Previous article Next article Introduction The US Rare Disease Act of 2002 defined a rare or orphan disease (OD) as a disease that affects fewer than 200,000 inhabitants, equivalent to approximately 6.5 patients per 10,000 inhabitants."

Global Panorama, CC by 2.0Share Tweet Share E-mail What can a list of blockbuster drugs tell you about people? If you were to peek inside someone’s bathroom cabinet, the drugs found there would expose their personal and idiosyncratic health problems. If you were to open the medicine chest of the entire nation — which (arguably) is what a list of the most commonly used drugs represents — you would see the country’s most common health problems. Yet, such a list might indicate even more about a country and its people. Since many diseases result from lifestyle choices, the top-selling drugs signify the health problems we have collectively created through daily decisions… our mass personality, so to speak. Differences Over 20 Years Let’s begin by looking at some broad stroke information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During the period of 2009 through 2012, CDC estimates 47.3 percent of Americans took at least one prescription drug in the last 30 days, while 20.6 percent took three or more and 10.1 percent took five or more.

Forming a diagonal between boron and astatine, which lies four rows down and four columns to the right of boron, the metalloids are six elements that display qualities of both metals and nonmetals. ( Some classifications include boron and astatine as well, but in this topic, they are treated as a nonmetal and a halogen respectively.) Of these six—silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium—only a few are household names. People know that arsenic is poison, and they have some general sense that silicon is important in surgical implants. But most people do not know that silicon, also the principal material in sand and glass, is the second-most plentiful element on Earth. Without silicon, from which computer chips are made, our computer-based society simply could not exist. How it works Families and “Orphans”Most elements fit into some sort of “family” grouping: the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, halogens, and noble gases. These seven families, five metallic and two nonmetallic, account for 91 of 112 elements on the periodic table. The “orphan” elements, or those not readily classifiable within a family, occupy groups 3 through 6 on the North American version of the periodic table, which only numbers the “tall” columns."

Huntington Disease Definition Huntington disease (HD) is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease causing uncontrolledphysical movements and mental deterioration. The disease was discovered by George Sumner Huntington (1850–1916), an Ohio doctor who first described the hereditary movement disorder in 1872. Description Huntington disease is also called Huntington chorea or hereditary chorea. The word choreacomes from the Greek word for \"\"dance\"\" and refers to the involuntary movements of the patient'sfeet, lower arms, and face that develop as the disease progresses. It is occasionally referred to as \"\"Woody Guthrie's disease\"\" for the American folk singer who died from it. Huntington disease (HD) causes progressive loss of cells in areas of the brain responsible for certain aspects of movement control and mental abilities. A person with HD gradually develops abnormalmovements and changes in cognition (thinking), behavior and personality. The onset of symptoms of HD usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 50; although in 10% of cases, onset is in late childhood or early adolescence. Approximately 30,000 people in the United States are affected by HD, with another 150,000 at risk for developing this disorder."

NMEs have chemical structures that have never been approved before. However, in some cases an NME may have actions similar to earlier drugs and may not necessarily offer unique clinical advantages over existing therapies. This report summarizes all of the 2015 NME and novel new BLA approvals, emphasizing those that offer new and innovative treatments to patients in need. Applications for new approvals remain steady CDER approved a higher than average number of novel new drugs in 2015; however, the number of applications for these drugs that sponsors have submitted over time has remained relatively stable. The points connected by lines in the graph below indicate the number of new NDA and BLA applications for new molecular entities and new therapeutic biologics CDER has received and filed for approval during the last 10 years. From 2006 through 2014, CDER filed an average of about 35 applications for novel new drugs per year. CDER estimates 40 filings for 2015, which is consistent with previous years in this decade. Below lists CDER’s novel new drugs of 2015. * ("

"text": "A: In 1982,The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized the lack of incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop cures for rare diseases and established the Office of Orphan Product Development. This branch of the FDA provides incentives to companies that work toward curing rare diseases by exercising the rights given to them under the Orphan Drug Act of January 1983. One type of incentive is the orphan drug status, which provides tax reductions and the exclusive right to develop the cure for a specific condition for a period of seven years to companies attempting to cure rare diseases. Developing drugs to treat the vast number of diseases in the world is a line of business that can lead to massive fortunes, but unfortunately not all developed drugs become the golden ticket. In the world pharmaceuticals, the largest amount of money can be made by developing drugs that become the standard for curing common diseases. From a business perspective, having a large market ensures that a company can quickly recuperate the cost of development and can also realize the largest possible gain. For this reason, there is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop cures for rare diseases - those that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States - because the small market and high cost associated with finding these types of cures discourages these companies from entering this market.

"text": "\"What is ALS and how does it affect the body? A motor neuron at a magnification of 250x (© Visuals Unlimited/Corbis)ALS -- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- is a progressive disease that primarily affects motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles throughout the body. For reasons that remain unknown, the motor neurons of people with ALS degenerate and eventually die, causing the individual to lose the ability to control voluntary muscles. With some, the condition first weakens and disables muscles in the arms or legs; with others, symptoms first appear in the throat area. In most cases, ALS develops into complete paralysis, including the loss of speech. Because ALS primarily affects motor neurons, most of the body's involuntary functions, such as the heart, the digestive system and the senses, are generally unaffected. The brain's function also remains largely unchanged, though patients may experience mild behavioral effects, such as changes in their reasoning and social interaction skills. ALS ultimately affects an individual's ability to breathe and swallow. ALS typically develops in individuals aged 40 to 70, but it can affect individuals in their 20s or 30s. About 5 to 10 percent of cases, known as familial ALS (FALS), are the result of an inherited genetic defect."

The family includes 89 species divided into 19 genera. Only the Eurasian wren occurs in the Old World, where in Anglophone regions, it is commonly known simply as the \"\"wren\"\", as it is the originator of the name. The name wren has been applied to other, unrelated birds, particularly the New Zealand wrens ( Acanthisittidae) and the Australian wrens ( Maluridae ). Most wrens are small and rather inconspicuous, except for their loud and often complex songs. Notable exceptions are the relatively large members of the genus Campylorhynchus, which can be quite bold in their behavior. Wrens have short wings that are barred in most species, and they often hold their tails upright. As far as known, wrens are primarily insectivorous, eating insects, spiders, and other small arthropods, but many species also eat vegetable matter and some take small frogs and lizards. ["

And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them,--will he not be perplexed? Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him? ( 7) The answer to these questions is, of course, that the ex-prisoner’s liberation from his past illusions is painful, and that at first he will have a hard time getting used to seeing real things. And still further difficulties lie ahead. For if somebody dragged him by force up the rough and steep path to the entrance of the cave, and if that person didn't let go of him until he had dragged him out into broad daylight, the liberated prisoner would be thoroughly confused and quite angry. For one thing, his eyes would get hit so hard by the sunlight that he could not possibly recognize any of the things that exist on the surface of the earth. Only gradually would he see all the things after which the puppeteers’ objects are modeled. And only at last would he be able to look at the sun itself, the source that makes not only everything visible, but ultimately also produces all things. Reflecting on what has happened to him, the ex-prisoner would surely consider himself fortunate, in spite of all the pain, and remembering his former fellow-prisoners, he would take pity on them."

Hahn 2, *+ Author Affiliations1Institute of Genetics, University of Nottingham, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, United Kingdom2Departments of Medicine and Microbiology3Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama Simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) are primate lentiviruses that infect no fewer than 36 different nonhuman primate species in sub-Saharan Africa ( 4, 9, 62 ). Two of these viruses, SIVcpz from chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes) and SIVsmm from sooty mangabeys ( Cercocebus atys ), have crossed species barriers on multiple occasions and have generated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) types 1 and 2 ( 20, 24, 25, 94 ). AIDS, one of the most devastating infectious diseases to have emerged in recent history, is thus the result of cross-species infections of humans by lentiviruses of primate origin ( 33 ). Identification of the primate source that spawned the HIV-1 pandemic is of scientific and public health importance. To this end, it is now well established that the immediate precursor of HIV-1 is a lentivirus that infects chimpanzees of the subspecies Pan troglodytes troglodytes in west central Africa ( 17, 24 ). What is also known but perhaps less widely appreciated is that SIVcpz strains have been transmitted to humans on at least three independent occasions and that the current HIV-1 group M pandemic, which has afflicted more than 60 million people and caused more than 20 million deaths, resulted from just one of these transmission events in the first half of the twentieth century ( 42, 77, 97 ). The reasons for HIV-1's sudden emergence, the adaptive changes that followed, and the mechanisms underlying its unique pathogenicity in humans have not yet been determined. Primates naturally infected with SIV, including SIVcpz-infected chimpanzees, appear not to develop immunodeficiency or AIDS ( 31, 40, 49, 60, 70, 79 ). In contrast, HIV infection of humans is nearly always characterized by progressive loss of CD4 + T lymphocytes, chronic immune activation, and gradual destruction of an array of immune functions ( 82 )."

As soon as HIV was identified in 1983, scientists started trying to understand where it had come from, when it had arisen, and why it had spread. Were they too late? To answer most of their questions, they would have had to witness the virus's evolution. Scientists can track new pathogens such as SARS and avian flu because they produce obvious symptoms almost immediately. But HIV is a stealth virus that takes as many as 10 years to present symptoms; by the time researchers knew enough to wonder about its origins, those origins were in the distant past. For the last 23 years, scientists have been trying to peer into that past. Jon Cohen, a correspondent for Science who has written extensively about the virus, compares the work to fossil hunting, using a few precious shreds of evidence to construct a possible history. \"\" Everybody's always looking for certainty.

Hahn 2Author information ► Copyright and License information ►This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Go to: Abstract Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) of humans is caused by two lentiviruses, human immunodeficiency viruses types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2). Here, we describe the origins and evolution of these viruses, and the circumstances that led to the AIDS pandemic. Both HIVs are the result of multiple cross-species transmissions of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) naturally infecting African primates. Most of these transfers resulted in viruses that spread in humans to only a limited extent. However, one transmission event, involving SIVcpz from chimpanzees in southeastern Cameroon, gave rise to HIV-1 group M—the principal cause of the AIDS pandemic. We discuss how host restriction factors have shaped the emergence of new SIV zoonoses by imposing adaptive hurdles to cross-species transmission and/or secondary spread. We also show that AIDS has likely afflicted chimpanzees long before the emergence of HIV. Tracing the genetic changes that occurred as SIVs crossed from monkeys to apes and from apes to humans provides a new framework to examine the requirements of successful host switches and to gauge future zoonotic risk."

It is instantly recognisable due to the rusty-red breast; indeed, 'Robin redbreast' and simply 'redbreast' are well-known alternative names (5). The sexes are very similar, but juveniles lack the red breast and are mottled with browns and buffs (6). The robin is one of the few birds to sing throughout the winter; its melodious, liquid song is a further feature that has endeared this species to the public (6).

As most of the food is taken from the ground, snowfall can cause huge numbers of deaths (3). Robins are very territorial birds throughout the year; in winter both males and females defend their own territory, and males often hold the same territory throughout their lives (3). Territories are defended by means of singing from a prominent perch, and by aggressively driving intruders away (6)."

In 1979, a circus director in France bought what he believed to be a male chimpanzee. It performed in acts and regularly mated with two female chimpanzees. This male ape, however, turned out to be a bonobo. Between 1991 and 2000, seven bonobo-chimpanzee hybrids were produced from these matings, most or all of which survived. By 2000, the oldest was working in the circus act in place of his retired father. Apparently, natural bonobo-chimpanzee hybrids have not as yet been reported. The ranges of these two apes are separated by the Congo and the Lualaba rivers, so their ranges are essentially allopatric. But contact may occur upstream of Boyoma Falls (formerly known as Stanley Falls) where the river can easily be crossed, at least by humans, during times of low water."

Click here for a list of information the beekeeper will need from you. Click here for a list of Alabama beekeepers that will remove bees from inside the walls of a house or other structure. A honeybee swarm is a mass of bees in a cluster usually hanging from a tree limb. Swarms are not generally a threat and are reluctant to sting HOWEVER honeybees can and will sting if provoked. Nature has programmed the honey bee to swarm as a method of propagating the species. This can occur during most any summer month but is primarily limited to the months of March, April and May in Alabama. The further south you go in the state the sooner swarming occurs. When a swarm occurs, approximately 60% of the bees in the colony will leave their hive in a swirling mass and settle in a large cluster on some nearby object such as (but not limited to) a tree limb. They will stay clustered for from a few minutes to several days depending on weather and other things."

For mite treatment options, scroll down. Beekeeping in a Nutshell I’ve attempted to distill 50 year’s of beekeeping experience into a short set of instructions for starting out with bees in the Sierra Foothills. This page provides some quick step-by-step notes for your first year of beekeeping, written specifically for those starting with a nucleus hive or package bees purchased from me, but generally applicable. Since the vast majority of colony failures are due to lack of varroa management, I’ve covered this subject more extensively. Starting Out First, educate yourself! A honey bee colony is a living animal that deserves to be cared for properly. You are beginning beekeeping at a time in which honey bees are struggling to stay alive–beekeeping is more difficult than it was prior to the parasitic varroa mite (which invaded around 1990). Although honey bees are essentially wild animals living in a box provided by their “keeper,” bees are in the midst of an evolutionary struggle due to the introduction of varroa (which completely changed colony stress and virus dynamics), as well as that of Nosema ceranae (an opportunistic parasite that can cripple a stressed colony)."

Pin 383 Share 2K Email3KToday’s post comes from Emi Higashiyama, who has worked at a honey farm and educates people on the many uses and health benefits of bee products. What is the definition of raw honey? Just about every health blog and recipe calls for the use of “raw” honey, but there’s quite a bit of confusion about what that means. Is it made differently from non-raw honey? Do things go into it or come out of it to make it raw? The labels don’t help because they usually just say “raw” but don’t explain why the honey deserves to be called that. There are essentially just two factors that determine the rawness of honey: temperature and texture. How temperature determines raw honey The technical definition of raw honey is very loose: it just means not heated past pasteurization. Great, now what does that mean?"

This is good news because it shows that people are becoming aware of the dangers of pesticides to our environment, children, and pets. But killing a swarm of bees with soap is not a walk in the park. If you have stinging insects you need to get rid of, I strongly recommend you call a local beekeeper or a company that gathers wasps for medical purposes. These people will generally come out to your home for free. Once there, they will be able to identify the type of insect you have and either collect it or tell you what needs to be done. If a nest is firmly established in your walls, removing it may be a time-consuming and expensive undertaking. In any case, you will know a lot more after a bug person takes a look. If the nest is small and outside your home, you can try to destroy it using a solution of soapy water (one part liquid dish soap to four parts water) in a plastic spray bottle or garden sprayer. Before you start you need to sequester your family and pets in a safe place and cover yourself from head to toe with protective clothing."

Bees are the tiniest employees of our agricultural-industrial complex. Photo: Bobby Doherty The American honeybee is in peril, you might have heard, if you are the sort of person who likes a ghost story. In the last year, beekeepers lost 42 percent of their colonies, another peak in a string of mass die-offs on the scale of plagues: In the last five years, die-offs have hit 34 percent, 46 percent, 29 percent, and 36 percent. That’s more than one in every three colonies each year — whole impeccably networked societies, as big as small cities. In many areas, the figures were worse, and it was hard not to wonder how a species in crisis could possibly sustain annual regional losses as high as 60 percent without fast approaching extinction. “ What are we doing on bees?” the president has been said to interject at the end of Oval Office meetings. “ Are we doing enough?”It’s been a long decade for bees. We’ve been panicking about them nonstop since 2006, when beekeeper Dave Hackenberg inspected 2,400 hives wintering in Florida and found 400 of them abandoned — totally empty."

Killer bees do, in fact, move further north, but the difference of climate and environment actually change the bees' behavior and they end up behaving just like a normal honeybee.

I hope to keep enough blooms around to make the bees want to visit regularly. I'm curious where they come from though. Do they travel far for nectar/pollen sources? If I keep them happy will they nest nearby?"

"text": "\"5 Honey Bee Facts that You Probably Never Knew (#4 is Shocking)The next time a honey bee zips by you, take a moment to appreciate what nature has given to us -- this amazing little creature...1. How Honeybee Sucks and Stores Nectar A honey bee has a proboscis which works like a tiny drinking straw that sucks up nectar from flowers. There are two stomachs in a bee. Some nectar goes into a bee's main stomach to digest for food and energy, the rest of the nectar goes into a special stomach where the bee can process the nectar into honey and transport it back to the hive. More on this bee's special honey stomach in: Is Honey Bee Vomit?2. Weather Affects Bees' Flight Bees can detect changes in air pressure. If it's going to rain and air pressure drops, they stay in their hives. Bees also do not fly around if the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is cold, they cluster in their hive to stay warm. They use the honey that they make for food during the cold months when nectar is scarce.3."

United States Department of Agriculture Agriculture Information Bulletin No. 413, 8 pages, illus. This publication discusses the general food requirements of honey bees, Apis mellifera L., and presents formulas for supplementary diets and methods for feeding such foods to bee colonies. In early spring, before pollen and nectar are available or at other times of the year when these materials are not available for bees in the field or in the hive, supplementary feeding may help the colony survive or sustain brood rearing and colony development. None of the protein supplemental foods fed to honey bees is a complete replacement for natural pollen; however, several brewer’s yeast products, Wheat, and soybean flour, fed singly or in combination, can be used to improve the nutrition of colonies when natural pollen is scarce. Cane or beet sugar and isomerized corn sirup can be used to supplement the bees’ diet of nectar or honey.

But, what makes the life of a colony easier is the division of work between different bees. Every individual bee has a specific role in the hive. Depending on the role of an individual bee, bees are grouped in so-called castes. A colony usually contains three adult cases: one fertile queen, male drones, and sterile female workers. How long does a bee live is affected by the caste of the individual bee and the time of the year. Most of the bees in the hive are female worker bees. The rest of the colony are drones, usually 200-300 drones. Drones have the shortest lifespan."

"text": "Tests Show Most Store Honey Isn’t Honey Ultra-filtering Removes Pollen, Hides Honey Origins By Andrew Schneider | November 7, 2011More than three-fourths of the honey sold in U. S. grocery stores isn’t exactly what the bees produce, according to testing done exclusively for Food Safety News. The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled “honey. ”The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world’s food safety agencies. The food safety divisions of the World Health Organization, the European Commission and dozens of others also have ruled that without pollen there is no way to determine whether the honey came from legitimate and safe sources. In the U. S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that’s been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn’t honey. However, the FDA isn’t checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen. Ultra filtering is a high-tech procedure where honey is heated, sometimes watered down and then forced at high pressure through extremely small filters to remove pollen, which is the only foolproof sign identifying the source of the honey. It is a spin-off of a technique refined by the Chinese, who have illegally dumped tons of their honey – some containing illegal antibiotics – on the U. S. market for years. Food Safety News decided to test honey sold in various outlets after its earlier investigation found U. S. groceries flooded with Indian honey banned in Europe as unsafe because of contamination with antibiotics, heavy metal and a total lack of pollen which prevented tracking its origin. Food Safety News purchased more than 60 jars, jugs and plastic bears of honey in 10 states and the District of Columbia."

"text": "\"The Dada Movement - Berlin, Cologne, Hanover, Holland Deutschland Dada: An Alphabet of German Dadaism Parts 1 & 2 - 1969Helmut Herbst - Director, Cinematographer, Screenwriter This superb documentary concerns the contributions of German artists to the Dada movement. Created in 1916, the organizers rejected previous convention and delighted in nihilistic satire in painting, sculpture and literature. Comparisons are made between the movement and the political and social upheaval at the time of the release of this feature (1969). Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide Erste Internationale Dada Messe (First International Dada Fair) - 1920Berlin The Dada movement, formed in Zurich 1916, was a reaction to World War I, its anarchic iconoclasm appealing to the artists George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Max Ernst and John Heartfield who organized the First International Dada Fair in Berlin in 1920. Also a reaction to the horrors of the war was the Neue Sachlichkeit/New Objectivity movement, which expressed the bitter social criticism of George Grosz, Max Beckmann, and Otto Dix. The Berlin movement's originality stemmed from its political militantism: it was involved in the social upheavals and the Spartakist revolution which broke out at the end of the war in the German capital. Its plastic works, ferociously subversive, retain for us the cruel image of the twilight of the bourgeoisie. Dada in Berlin Johannes Baader 1875 - 1955Raoul Hausmann and Johannes Baader, 1919Johannes Baader was born in Stuttgart on 21 June 1875.

"text": "\"\"\"Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life. \"\" Synopsis The Surrealists sought to channel the unconscious as a means to unlock the power of the imagination. Disdaining rationalism and literary realism, and powerfully influenced by psychoanalysis, the Surrealists believed the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination, weighing it down with taboos. Influenced also by Karl Marx, they hoped that the psyche had the power to reveal the contradictions in the everyday world and spur on revolution. Their emphasis on the power of personal imagination puts them in the tradition of Romanticism, but unlike their forebears, they believed that revelations could be found on the street and in everyday life. The Surrealist impulse to tap the unconscious mind, and their interests in myth and primitivism, went on to shape many later movements, and the style remains influential to this today. Key Ideas André Breton defined Surrealism as \"\"psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express - verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner - the actual functioning of thought.\"\" What Breton is proposing is that artists bypass reason and rationality by accessing their unconscious mind. In practice, these techniques became known as automatism or automatic writing, which allowed artists to forgo conscious thought and embrace chance when creating art. The work of Sigmund Freud was profoundly influential for Surrealists, particularly his book, The Interpretation of Dreams (1899)."

Manifestos are a standard feature of the various movements in the modernist avant-garde and are still written today. Art manifestos are sometimes in their rhetoric intended for shock value, to achieve a revolutionary effect. They often address wider issues, such as the political system. Typical themes are the need for revolution, freedom (of expression) and the implied or overtly stated superiority of the writers over the status quo. [ citation needed] The manifesto gives a means of expressing, publicising and recording ideas for the artist or art group—even if only one or two people write the words, it is mostly still attributed to the group name. In 1855 Gustave Courbet wrote a Realist manifesto for the introduction to the catalogue of his independent, personal exhibition. And in 1886 the Symbolist Manifesto was published in the French newspaper Le Figaro by the poet and essayist Jean Moréas. The first art manifesto of the 20th century was introduced with the Futurists in Italy in 1909, [1] followed by the Cubists, Vorticists, Dadaists and the Surrealists: the period up to World War II created what are still the best known manifestos. Although they never stopped being issued, other media such as the growth of broadcasting tended to sideline such declarations."

Arp was of French Alsatian and German ancestry, and, thus, his parents gave him both French and German names. He began training as an artist in 1900 in his native Strasbourg and later studied in Weimar, Germany, and at the Académie Julian in Paris. He went to Switzerland in 1909, and in 1911 in Weggis, near Lucerne, he cofounded Der Moderne Bund (“The Modern Alliance”), an association of artists dedicated to modern art. Arp traveled to Munich in 1912, where he met Wassily Kandinsky and through him became briefly associated with the Expressionist artists’ group Der Blaue Reiter (“The Blue Rider”). He also connected with Der Sturm in Berlin and exhibited with them in 1913. Arp returned to Paris in 1914 and befriended Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, and Sonia and Robert Delaunay, as well as the writer Max Jacob. During World War I, Arp took refuge in Zürich, where he became one of the founders of the Dada movement in early 1916. Soon after arriving in Zürich, he met artist Sophie Taeuber, who became his primary collaborator and whom he married in 1922. The two artists worked with nontraditional media and together created nonrepresentational collages (called Duo-Collages) and embroidered pieces."

Neoclassicism Neoclassicism (began after 1750) was a revival of Greek and Roman art; a direct reaction to the excessiveness of Baroque and Rococo styles. During the American and French Revolutions, the political atmosphere began to lean towards an Age of Reason and Enlightenment. With admiration for classical Roman and Greek art renewed after excavations of Herculaneum and Pompei, efforts for style to accompany philosophy caused an inevitable return to the \"\"classics\"\". During this period, the subject matter often included a reverence for nature, tradition and the classics, moral values (such as nationalism and courage), along with a distrust for innovation. Early works of artists such as Jean August Dominique Ingres and especially Jacques-Louis David encompassed the thematic elements associated with Neoclassicism. Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii can be considered as a turning point for the beginning of the neoclassic style. The painting possesses many qualities synonymous with neoclassicism."

Answered Apr 11, 2012 · Author has 2.4k answers and 3.9m answer views This is very complicated question - but the essence of these changes in my opinion is: An acceleration of cultural change, increased freedom of individual expression, embrace of new materials, and more value placed on experimentation and the exploration of ideas. These changes in visual art occur in conjunction with similar transformations in literature, music, and other arts. All of these changes had their roots in the 19th century, with the cultural revolutions of Romanticism then movements like Impressionism, and the idea that arts needn't follow tradition and that the visual arts didn't need to represent reality. With the development of Cubism, followed by non-representational art, this idea developed in many different directions. I agree with Christian Roden -- abstraction is probably the biggest innovation of twentieth-century art. Cultural change in general speeds up with technological and social changes, and artists have tried to recognize and to even shape those changes. The idea of modernism is very important for most of the 20th century - that art should be of its time or even ahead of its time. Modernist artists tend to be valued for their ability to create something new, and this increasingly became based on the concepts behind their work."

Ray's artistic work is very diverse. He was a painter, object artist, and a film maker. He was the very first artist whose images were more valuable to collectors than his artistic work. He therefore made a significant contribution to the evaluation of photography as a form of art. His early life Right from the moment he came into the limelight until his death, Man Ray did not allow much of his early life to be known, even denying that he once had another name other than Ray. Man Ray was born to Jewish immigrants from Russia. He was the only child before his family was blessed with another son and 2 daughters, the youngest child was born shortly after they relocated to Brooklyn in 1897. Man Ray's family changed their surname to Ray in 1912. Ray was nicknamed Manny but changed his name to Man, and slowly started to use Man Ray."

Developed in reaction to World War I, the Dada movement consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest in their works. [ 3] [4] [5] The art of the movement spanned visual, literary, and sound media, including collage, sound poetry, cut-up writing, and sculpture. Dadaist artists expressed their discontent with violence, war, and nationalism, and maintained political affinities with the radical left. ["

By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

Surrealism Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members. Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s on, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy and social theory. Founding of the Movement World War I scattered the writers and artists who had been based in Paris, and while away from Paris many involved themselves in the Dada movement, believing that excessive rational thought and bourgeois values had brought the terrifying conflict upon the world. The Dadaists protested with anti-rational anti-art gatherings, performances, writing and art works. After the war when they returned to Paris the Dada activities continued. During the war Surrealism's soon-to-be leader André Breton, who had trained in medicine and psychiatry, served in a neurological hospital where he used the psychoanalytic methods of Sigmund Freud with soldiers who were shell-shocked. He also met the young writer Jacques Vaché and felt that he was the spiritual son of writer and pataphysician Alfred Jarry, and he came to admire the young writer's anti-social attitude and disdain for established artistic tradition."

First International Dada Fair, Berlin, 1920. Courtesy of Hannah Hoch Several explanations have been given by various members of the movement as to how it received its name. According to the most widely accepted account, the name was adopted at Hugo Ball ’s Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich, during one of the meetings held in 1916 by a group of young artists and war resisters that included Jean Arp, Richard Hülsenbeck, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco, and Emmy Hennings. When a paper knife inserted into a French-German dictionary pointed to the French word dada (“hobby-horse”), it was seized upon by the group as appropriate for their anti-aesthetic creations and protest activities, which were engendered by disgust for bourgeois values and despair over World War I. Dada did not constitute an actual artistic style, but its proponents favoured group collaboration, spontaneity, and chance. In the desire to reject traditional modes of artistic creation, many Dadaists worked in collage, photomontage, and found-object construction, rather than in painting and sculpture. Ball, Hugo Hugo Ball, 1916. Unknown The movement in the United States was centred at Alfred Stieglitz ’s New York gallery “ 291 ,” and at the studio of Walter Arensberg and his wife, Louise, both wealthy patrons of the arts. At these locations, Dada-like activities, arising independently but paralleling those in Zürich, were engaged in by such artists as Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Morton Schamberg, and Francis Picabia. The Zürich group was concerned with issues surrounding the war, but New York Dadaists largely focused on mocking the art establishment."

Understanding lab test results is especially important if you are taking antiviral treatment for HCV, which can have a significant effect on how the body functions. In general, when you look at a lab testing report, information about what is normal for each test parameter is given on the right-hand side of the report. Often reports will show out-of-range values, which makes it easy to identify problems quickly. Another important thing to keep in mind when looking at lab results is that results can vary from lab to lab. When considering lab results, it is more important to look at trends over time than at individual numbers at one point in time. There are three key areas of lab testing that you should be aware of: Liver biochemical/function testing Complete blood counts (CBC)Chemistry panels Liver biochemical/function testing Liver biochemical/function testing measures blood levels of various enzymes produced by the liver. Abnormal levels of liver enzymes can indicate how well the liver is functioning and whether the liver has been damaged. 1-4Normal ranges for liver biochemical/function testing ALT 8–37 IU/LAST 10–34 IU/LBilirubin 0.2–1.9 mg/d LAlbumin 3.5–5.5 g/d LPT 0.8–1.1 INR*ALK 44–147 IU/LGGT 0–51 IU/LIU=international unit; INR=international normalized ratio; L=liter; d L=deciliter (0.1 liter); g/d L=grams per deciliter; mg=milligram. * When taken without blood thinners."

Increases in hepatobiliary enzyme activities—alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)—are commonly encountered on serum chemistry profiles in these animals. In a study of dogs with a variety of ailments, serum ALP and ALT activities were elevated in 32% and 47% of cases, respectively. 1 In another study of both healthy and ill dogs, elevations in ALP, ALT, GGT, and AST activities were found in 39%, 17%, 19%, and 11% of cases, respectively. 2Drugs that affect liver enzyme interpretation Although elevated serum hepatobiliary enzyme activities are frequently identified, they do not necessarily indicate clinically important hepatic disease. There are several reasons for this discordance. First, increased serum hepatobiliary enzyme activity can originate from nonhepatic tissues. Second, the liver's dual blood supply and large blood flow make it uniquely sensitive to injury due to systemic disorders and diseases in organ systems drained by the portal circulation, particularly the gastrointestinal tract and the pancreas."

There are thousands of enzymes in the cells in our bodies, where they act as catalysts for all the chemical reactions that take place in these cells. Without them, these reactions either wouldn't occur or would be too slow for the cells' needs. Many enzymes are normally present in the blood and can be measured there.

Bile Acids were 29.3 UM/L pre-meal (reference range <13) and 27.7 post meal (reference range <25). The rest of the findings were contained within my initial note. He weighs between 45.5 and 47 pounds normally and has always been very lean. There has been no weight loss, no excessive drinking, no excessive urination, no diarrhea and no vomiting. He has a good appetite and has been normal and active in every way."

"text": "Overview Liver function tests are blood tests used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. The tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Some of these tests measure how well the liver is performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product. Other liver function tests measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease. Abnormal liver function test results don't always indicate liver disease. Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean. Why it's done Liver function tests can be used to: Screen for liver infections, such as hepatitis Monitor the progression of a disease, such as viral or alcoholic hepatitis, and determine how well a treatment is working Measure the severity of a disease, particularly scarring of the liver (cirrhosis)Monitor possible side effects of medications Liver function tests check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Levels that are higher or lower than normal can indicate liver problems. Some common liver function tests include: Alanine transaminase (ALT). ALT is an enzyme found in the liver that helps your body metabolize protein."

"text": "\"Health Medical Ranges & Levels Q: What Does ALT (SGPT) Mean in a Blood Test? A: Quick Answer The ALT test checks the level of alanine aminotransferase in the blood to see if the liver is healthy. Elevated levels of the enzyme could indicate damage caused by trauma or a disease process, such as cirrhosis or a strain of hepatitis, as stated by Web MD. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is ALT or SGPT? What Does a Low ALT SGPT Blood Test Result Mean? What Is a High ALT SGPT? Full Answer The test is also performed on patients with jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes. An elevated ALT level along with a high bilirubin level suggests the discoloration is caused by liver dysfunction. Otherwise, it could indicate a blood disorder. The ALT test is used in conjunction with other blood tests to diagnose problems with the liver."

"text": "\"Blood Tests / Labs in Alcoholic Liver Disease Moon Watcher Group Leader | 7 years on site | 2487 posts\"\"My liver enzymes are high! Does this mean I have Liver Disease?\"\" So many come to the internet with this question, and while high liver enzymes can indicate a problem, there is more to reading them than one might think, and other tests that may be a better indicator of liver function and serious liver damage or disease. Liver enzymes are a fairly accurate indicator of \"\"recent\"\" inflammation and damage that has occurred in the days leading up to the time blood is drawn for the test. They are a rather poor indicator of cumulative damage and amount of functioning liver tissue actually present at the time of the test. Other factors can influence these enzymes too, like extreme exertion and physical activity prior to the test. A young man with a big healthy liver may spike liver enzymes that are SKY-HIGH coming off a substantial alcoholic binge, while an older man with advanced fibrosis may have enzymes in the normal range, even if he is still drinking. Why? It takes large amounts of liver tissue to generate large amounts of liver enzymes and a diseased liver may contain less than a third of the functioning tissue it did when it was healthy. The remaining tissue in a damaged liver will still give off enzymes when inflamed, but their cumulative output just can't match the amount of enzymes an intact liver can produce when it is inflamed."

"text": "Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks during a news conference in Riga October 23, 2014. Divergences over how to confront the Islamic State have strained the durability of a six-decade alliance. ( Ints Kalnins/Reuters)By Liz Sly October 29, 2014 Email the author ANKARA, Turkey — The increasingly hostile divergence of views between Turkey and the United States over Syria is testing the durability of their 60-year alliance, to the point where some are starting to question whether the two countries still can be considered allies at all. Turkey’s refusal to allow the United States to use its bases to launch attacks against the Islamic State, quarrels over how to manage the battle raging in the Syrian border town of Kobane and the harsh tone of the anti-American rhetoric used by top Turkish officials to denounce U. S. policy have served to illuminate the vast gulf that divides the two nations as they scramble to address the menace posed by the extremists. Whether the Islamic State even is the chief threat confronting the region is disputed, with Washington and Ankara publicly airing their differences through a fog of sniping, insults and recrimination over who is to blame for the mess the Middle East has become. At stake is a six-decade-old relationship forged during the Cold War and now endowed with a different but equally vital strategic dimension. Turkey is positioned on the front line of the war against the Islamic State, controlling a 780-mile border with Iraq and Syria. Without Turkey’s cooperation, no U. S. policy to bring stability to the region can succeed, analysts and officials on both sides say. “If Turkey is not an ally, then we and Turkey are in trouble,” said Francis Ricciardone, who served as the U. S. ambassador to Turkey until the summer. “ It is probably the most important ally."

"text": "\"What is UR? UR is a decentralized cryptographic information, application, and contract platform and a coin of the same name. The UR coin will be fairly distributed to all humans on Earth via the \"\"UR Airdrop,\"\" with each human receiving 2,000 UR initially and additional amounts as described below. Based on the project design, 90% of all UR ever created will be distributed to UR users, and our goal is that every person on the planet receive UR within 30 months of launch. UR is intended to be a secure, useful world currency, and its design addresses the money supply and distribution flaws that have prevented existing cryptocurrencies from becoming truly useful currencies for the whole of humanity. Historically, cryptocurrencies have been only distributed to small numbers of miners, coin creators (pre-mines), and investors (ICOs). These faulty distribution schemes have severely stunted the adoption of cryptocurrencies. UR solves this problem through a distribution model that provides free cryptocurrency to every human and incentivizes every member of the community to actively spread the word to all in his or her social network. UR also addresses the inflation and deflation problems that plague other monetary systems.

"text": "\"7 Ways to transfer photos to i Phones from desktop PC/Mac Long time i Phone users would already know that although it’s not impossible, it is much easier to download photos and videos from the smartphone than to upload to it. There are actually a couple of techniques that you can use to upload your pictures to your i Phone. They range from a very simple method to one that requires you to install additional software. One important thing to remember is that, unfortunately you cannot just plug your i Phone in and start copying images to it. This ‘limitation’ often takes new i Phone users by surprise as they expect the i Phone works like a USB drive (or just about every other mobile phone on that matter). Sadly that is not the case. If you are wondering why, well it’s probably just enough to know that it has something to do with Copyright Protection. You can get photos out from the i Phone easily though, just not the other way around. So here we are, in a typical Apple’s way, being forced to find alternatives to do a simple thing (I can almost hear the triumphant whup from the Android users now).1. Email One of my favourite method of transferring photos from my Mac or PC; really from just about any Internet device that capables of doing email; is by emailing the photo to myself as an attachment."

If you're running OS X 10.7 Lion, you've probably noticed a little feature in your Finder called Air Drop. And we bet you've never used it. It was introduced as a simplified way to share files with other nearby Mac users on the same network. But Air Drop never really been more useful than third-party cloud services like Dropbox, which doesn't limit you by your recipient's operating system, or even good old-fashioned email for smaller files. The new i OS 7, however, has also included Air Drop among its bevy of of new features. And that might just be what it needs to transform from computer clutter to useful service. Advertisement First off, make sure you're compatible. Air Drop works with all i Phone 5 models, the latest i Pad, i Pad mini, and fifth-generation i Pod touch."

In addition, there is no possibility of linking observation or experimentation of early Universe physics to our theories (i.e. it's not possible to `build' another Universe). Our theories are rejected or accepted based on simplicity and aesthetic grounds, plus their power of prediction to later times, rather than an appeal to empirical results. This is a very difference way of doing science from previous centuries of research. Our physics can explain most of the evolution of the Universe after the Planck time (approximately 10 -43 seconds after the Big Bang). Another way of seeing this problem is trying to reproduce the Greek philosophers thinking about matter, as applied to spacetime. For example, if we continue to divide matter we get to atoms, try to divide atoms and you get quantum fields. What does spacetime look like at the quantum level? Probably a quantum chaos. Events before before the Planck time are undefined in our current science and, in particular, we have no solid understanding of the origin of the Universe (i.e. what started or `caused' the Big Bang)."

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including objects ranging from atoms and photons, to planets and stars. Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars – and for the stars to group together into galaxies – so gravity is responsible for many of the large scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects."

Electron Degeneracy Pressure Electron Degeneracy Pressure is a direct result of the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state at the same time. Because of this, electrons that are packed very close together experience a force preventing them from getting any closer. However, gravitational force continues to be directed inward, so the electron degeneracy pressure is directed against this to prevent a gravitational collapse. As the gravity increased, electrons move to higher and higher energy levels to compensate, causing them to move faster than normal. Chandrasekhar Limit There is a limit to which the electron degeneracy pressure can work. Eventually, the gravity is too great for the electron degeneracy pressure to overcome, since eventually the electrons must be moving at or above the speed of light to balance it, which is impossible. The mass at this point is around 1.44 solar masses, and this is what is known as the Chandrasekhar limit. Above this limit, white dwarves will undergo gravitational collapse and result in a Type Ia supernova, but it can also cause the core of a massive star to collapse, triggering a Type II supernova."

The impact of the Panthers, in vast disproportion to their actual size and strength, indicated the pervasive black nationalist mood of which they were the most militant expression. Following the collapse of the liberal-oriented civil rights movement, virtually all U. S. radicals saw the struggle of black people against racial oppression as the central and overriding contradiction within American capitalism. The Panthers’ popularity, enhanced by the vicarious black nationalism of white-guilt liberal circles, coincided with the rejection by impatient petty-bourgeois radical students of a perspective based on the revolutionary role of the working class, black and white. The current split, with tragic implications for the defense of jailed Panthers, certainly gladdens the hearts of racists and cops, but has far-reaching implications for the left as well. No longer can the Panther leadership use unquestioned moral authority to claim automatic allegiance from militant black youth and uncritical support from radical whites regardless of their particular experiences and views. It is important to recognize that the Panthers came into being at the ebb of the mass black civil rights movement, as a selection of the best black militants in the battles waged over the corpse of the movement. The particular character of the Panthers was shaped by two interrelated developments which marked the death of the respectable civil rights movement of King, Farmer and the early SNCC. One was the movement’s obvious failure to change the living conditions of the black masses--in particular, its inability to do anything about the terrorization of the ghetto population by the cops, the armed force of the bourgeois state."

In the 19th century, photography and spectroscopy — the study of the wavelengths of light that objects emit — made it possible to investigate the compositions and motions of stars from afar, leading to the development of astrophysics. In 1937, the first radio telescope was built, enabling astronomers to detect otherwise invisible radiation from stars. The first gamma-ray telescope launched in 1961, pioneering the study of star explosions (supernovae)."

"text": "Racial Uplift Ideology in the Era of “the Negro Problem”Kevin K. Gaines University of Michigan National Humanities Center Fellow ©National Humanities Center“How does it feel to be a problem,” the African American intellectual W. E. B. Du Bois wondered in his 1903 classic The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois’s question starkly captured the struggle of African Americans to forge and maintain a The ideology of racial uplift, the idea that educated blacks are responsible for the welfare of the majority of the race, was a response to the assault on African American civil and political rights in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. positive identity in a U. S. society that reduced their existence to that singularly alienating phrase “the Negro problem.” What historians refer to as racial uplift ideology describes a prominent response of black middle-class leaders, spokespersons, and activists to the crisis marked by the assault on the civil and political rights of African Americans primarily in the U. S. South from roughly the 1880s to 1914. A generation earlier, the demise of slavery and emancipation had fueled African Americans’ optimistic pursuit of education, full citizenship and economic independence, all crucial markers of freedom. But these aspirations for social advancement, or uplift, came under assault by powerful whites seeking to regain control over African American labor. With the withdrawal of federal troops from the south in 1877, southern white authorities banded together with impoverished whites under the banner of white supremacy, and instituted a new system of racial subordination. Commonly known as Jim Crow, this system enforced by law and custom the absolute separation of blacks and whites in the workplace, schools, and virtually all phases of public life in the South. The institution of Jim Crow state and local laws throughout the South gained the sanction of the federal government with the landmark Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which used the rationale “separate but equal” to uphold a Louisiana statute mandating racial segregation in railroad transportation. Jim Crow segregation confined the majority of African Americans to a state of economic peonage as agricultural workers, making wage-earning jobs of the New South industrial order a whites-only economic preserve."

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including objects ranging from atoms and photons, to planets and stars. Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars – and for the stars to group together into galaxies – so gravity is responsible for many of the large scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects."

D - September 2, 2013 466038by Preston James For almost 100 years there has been a Secret Ruling Cabal of Banksters and Industrialists from the City of London Financial District that has been running the USG and setting the policies of America which are based on Big Lies and Major Deceptions. This cabal has spent many billions of hard earned American dollars which they have confiscated through a crooked tax system to pay “talking-head” major mass media “newscasters” to limit what you can know and to make sure almost everything the Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM) is lies and dispensed propaganda, which helps keep this super-elite deviant Ruling Cabal in power and keeps important truths from the public. The Cabal knows that they must keep truth from the people in order to continue in power, and now the advent of the worldwide Internet is posing their greatest threat ever, and their demise may be right around the corner. Some of the oldest most senior members of the Cabal believe that the only way to stop this erosion of their control over truth that the Internet now presents is to elicit a major nuclear WW3 that will radically depopulate the earth and convert the political structure back into a Middle Ages type feudal King/Serf system. The advent of the worldwide Internet is proving to be the undoing of this Cabal’s previous near complete lock on the truth. They have controlled the history books, the school teaching agendas and limited higher education to their approved subject areas. The worldwide Internet is now proving to be the New Gutenberg Press and has the same power to completely dethrone the Cabal and restructure society. It is an engine for the spontaneous and widespread emergence of a new worldwide populism, a new worldwide Conscience-Collective that can and will erode and displace the CMMM. Without the CMMM’s constant uncontested dispensing of lies and propaganda, the ruling Cabal’s power, authority and legitimacy will be progressively eroded, and eventually this Cabal will be exposed and eliminated."

How Seattle Is Dismantling a NIMBY Power Structure At a time when rents are soaring and development is more contentious than ever before, a little-known city agency is rethinking its role in neighborhood planning. Story by Erica C. Barnett Twitter Photography by Alex Garland Published on Apr 3, 2017Facebook Twitter Email For decades, activist homeowners have held virtual veto power over nearly every decision on Seattle’s growth and development. Related Stories Atlanta City Planners Have a New Way to Talk to Residents In Two Years, Boston Goes From 5,000 Questions to 15-Year Plan City of Seattle Building Stronger Connections With Community Liaisons Chicago Firm Calls for Creating Office of the Public Architect In large and small ways, these homeowners, who tend to be white, more affluent and older than the average resident, have shaped neighborhoods in their reflection — building a city that is consistently rated as one of the nation’s most livable, as well as one of its most expensive. Now — in the face of an unprecedented housing crisis and a dramatic spike in homelessness — that may be starting to change. Last July, Mayor Ed Murray and the director of the city’s Department of Neighborhoods, Kathy Nyland, announced that Seattle was cutting formal ties with, and funding for, the 13 volunteer Neighborhood District Councils that had been the city’s chief sounding boards on neighborhood planning since the 1990s. Through this bureaucratic sleight of hand, Murray and Nyland signaled their intent to seek more input and feedback from lower-income folks, people of color and renters — who now make up 54 percent of the city — and away from the white baby boomers who have long dominated discussions about Seattle’s future. The message: We appreciate your input, but we’re going to get a second opinion. A few months later, the Department of Neighborhoods doubled down on its commitment to community engagement, putting out a call for volunteers to serve on a new 16-member Community Involvement Commission, which will be charged with helping city departments develop “authentic and thorough” ways to reach “all” city residents, including underrepresented communities such as low-income people, homeless residents and renters."

"text": "Mission Musings The Settlement House Movement in United Methodismby Mike Feely In United Methodism we celebrate our connectional system—the way our members are linked together through mission, outreach, and evangelism. Some of our historical connections are with mission institutions founded in the early 1900s during the settlement house movement. They include the Bethlehem centers and Wesley houses, along with schools at Henderson Settlement and Red Bird Mission—institutions that reflect the hard work of the Woman’s Home Mission societies and the deaconess movement. The settlement house movement began in England as a means of coping with societal changes stemming from the Industrial Revolution, which caused a large population shift from rural to urban areas. British social reformers were increasingly concerned about the desperate need for social services among the masses of people living in industrialized urban areas. Settlement houses emerged as community centers to help solve these problems. Early Settlement Houses One of the first settlement houses was Toynbee Hall, established in the East End of London in 1884. It offered adult education classes, legal clinics, and family support. Similar houses soon sprang up across Britain and other parts of Europe. Settlement house workers lived in the neighborhoods where they worked, which brought them into regular contact with the poor."

"text": "Duties: Pine Street Inn is a not-for-profit organization committed to men and women in need of shelter, sustenance, and the basic moral and material supports necessary to lead a dignified and stable life. It is the mission of the Inn, in all its programs, to be a community of respect and hope for each guest it serves; to be a resource through which neighbors and friends can help to meet the basic needs of others; and to serve as a national leader in the fight to end homelessness. Since its founding in 1969, Pine Street Inn has been adapting services and forging key collaborative partnerships with various state and local agency departments, mental health, and clinical providers to ensure quality wraparound services and ultimately build a pipeline to housing in an effort to end homelessness. Today Pine Street Inn is the city’s largest provider of homeless services and is taking the lead on implementing innovative programs in conjunction with the City of Boston’s plan to eradicate homelessness. In the past year over 9,000 individuals were impacted through all Pine Street Inn programs including: permanent supportive housing, emergency shelter, street outreach, workforce development and social ventures, stabilization, and veteran’s services. Pine Street Inn covers 98% of citywide street outreach, and every night over 630 guests are housed at the Inn’s 4 shelters. Learn more at www.pinestreetinn.org. Position Overview: Pine Street Inn is now seeking a Vice President of Emergency Services to oversee all outreach and emergency shelter services while ensuring guests are moved along the pipeline and into permanent housing. Being faced with a number of challenges, including the population of homeless individuals in Boston becoming younger, the length of stay within shelters increasing, more and more guests having needs beyond just housing, and external standards increasing to ensure quality services, the incoming VP will have the opportunity to implement a variety of new, emerging national strategies to overcome these issues. The strategies may include, but not be limited to diversion, rapid rehousing, coordinated care assessments and clinical outreach alongside an exceptionally talented and passionate team within the emergency services operations."

Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic, the format was introduced in 2006 primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders. [ 2]Favorable comparisons of AVCHD against HDV and XDCAM EX [3] [4] solidified perception of AVCHD as a format acceptable for professional use. Both Panasonic and Sony released the first consumer AVCHD camcorders in spring of 2007. [ 5] Panasonic released the first AVCHD camcorder aimed at the professional market in 2008, though it was nothing more than the (by then discontinued) FLASH card consumer model rebadged with a different model number. In 2011 the AVCHD specification was amended to include 1080-line 50-frame/s and 60-frame/s modes (AVCHD Progressive) and stereoscopic video (AVCHD 3D). The new video modes require double the data rate of previous modes. AVCHD and its logo are trademarks of Sony and Panasonic.

In academic writing the abstract is important because many readers first read the abstract on your paper or online to determine if the entire article is worth reading. On internet websites the abstract may be shown with the option of paying for full access to the article for those without university access.

I was wondering if there was a way to do this by using an \"\"if\"\" statement. I am aware of conditional formatting, but I cannot copy and paste this formula so I would prefer to use an if statement. For example, I have a value in \"\"A2\"\", and if \"\"A2\"\" is >= \"\"B2\"\" then it is green, if it is >=\"\"C2\"\" and <=\"\"B2\"\" then it is yellow and if it is <=\"\"C2\"\" it is red. The values of C2 and B2 change depending on demand. Is there a way to use an if statement to do this?

"text": "Introducing Premium Encoding in Azure Media Services Posted on March 5, 2015Anil Murching Senior Program Manager, Azure Media Services Video encoding can be a complex and complicated space. I often get requests from customers asking for ways to transcode formats that are used primarily in broadcast studios, or in the movie industry. Accompanying these formats are also complicated 'recipes' to process the videos that requires custom logic to make decisions about what encoding steps are required. This week, I am excited to introduce a new technology in Microsoft Azure Media Services that allows our more experienced customers to solve such workflow problems. This premium encoder offers superior quality and flexibility suited for broadcast industry/professional media transcodes. This includes automated decision-making logic that can adapt to a variety of input and output file formats such as MXF, support for additional input and output codecs such as DNx HD, support for higher output resolutions - up to 4K in AVC, support for closed captions, and much more. In this blog, I will provide you an overview of the new capabilities of the premium encoder. Please click here to find out more about pricing and visit our documentation center to learn more details about how to use this encoder. Capabilities of the Premium Encoder In the following sections, I will share some of the highlights about the new encoder. Automatic Decision-Making Logic Our “Azure Media Encoder” is based on a desktop encoder (Expression Encoder 4)."
