"text": "\"Guide to Disney Cruise Line's Concierge Service By Simon Thomas Disney cruise onboard spa treatment Disney Cruise Line concierge service is a fantasy in the making for many travelers who love the luxury and excitement of cruising, but loathe the planning and frustrations necessary to make a cruise dream a reality. It may seem like an option only for passengers who can afford the most expensive accommodations, but in reality, its numerous benefits also make it a worthwhile option for travelers who would usually settle for one level lower than concierge level accommodations. Disney Cruise Line's Approach to Concierge Service Over 79 percent of reviewers at Cruise Critic.com give the Disney Cruise Line a full five star rating. In another review, a self-confessed \"\"skin flint\"\" stated that, \"\"Overall, the service was a bargain. The largest expense that was eliminated completely for our trip was the drink bill. Twice a night, the concierge lounge features a happy hour. Any drinks that are on display are available for no additional charge during these two times. \"\" Pre-Cruise Concierge Service Disney offers extensive pre-cruise concierge services to passengers booked in the associated staterooms. Up to 120 days prior to sailing, Disney Cruise Line guests who take advantage of this service can get help with: Reserving cruise shore excursions Arranging onboard spa treatments Arranging nursery stays and other child care Noting dining time and table preferences Making reservations for Palo, the ships' elite specialty restaurant Planning special occasions and onboard celebrations Handling special requests of all types, such as providing extra stateroom pillows or noting other personal preferences Passengers who have this service have exclusive access to a toll free number from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., as well as direct email contact with their dedicated concierge staff. By providing this service before the cruise begins, Disney Cruise Line removes the burden of travel planning from passengers and allows them to begin savoring their magical cruise vacation before they even set sail."

Why do I have a Home Resort? I thought I could book at any DVC resort? You can book any resort, subject to availability, 7 months before your check-in date. However, your points are tied to a “home resort”, where you can reserve as much as 11 months in advance. ONLY owners with that home resort can book within the 11-7 month window. This can be an important advantage at some of the smaller, more popular resorts like Disney’s Boardwalk Villas and Disney’s Beach Club Villas, especially at popular times such as events at Epcot like the Food and Wine Festival. What if I have points at more than one resort? That gets very complex."

The Beach Club (BC) is a 583 room resort which has guest rooms and conference facilities. It is styled after the New England seaside at the turn of the century and the seashore theme is evident throughout. The BC is joined in the center with the Yacht Club. Together they share Stormalong Bay and transportation facilities. There is a quiet serenity to the BC in the early morning. Next to the Beach Club are the Beach Club Villas, a Disney Vacation Club resort. What is the advantage to staying at the BC? The biggest advantage to staying at the Beach Club is its proximity to Epcot (a short walk away). It is adjacent to the Yacht Club and across the water from the Boardwalk area."

[ citation needed]The Contemporary Tower, the most prominent of the resort's four stand-alone buildings, was built as an A-frame with outer walls which slope inwards around an inner atrium. This design was a collaboration by Disney, the United States Steel Corporation, [3] [4] [5] and Los Angeles architect Welton Becket. To construct the building, steel frames were erected on-site and modular pre-constructed rooms, designed by California architect Donald Wexler, were lifted into place by crane. Most of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and the Court of Flags Resort were built the same way, except rooms were stacked instead of slid in. In 2006, Disney filed plans for a project on the site of the Contemporary Resort's North Garden Wing. [ 6] Bay Lake Tower ultimately contained 281 timeshare units."

Our welcome champagne cocktail and explanation of the four daily food and beverage offerings were followed by the news that our room was already waiting for us along with our luggage. This has never happened on any previous WDW check-ins, since we arrived at 10:30AM, expecting to wait several hours until the usual 3pm check-in time. Before describing the club level cuisine, I must send out kudos to the following cast members who provided exceptional personal service: Paul, Neil, Robin and Shelby: Club Concierges who made us feel valued and welcome every time we interacted with them Brian and Ronna: Front Desk Staff who cheerfully answered all my questions after my daily early-morning walks. Chef Chris whose delicious cuisine and colorful presentation in the Stone Harbor Club guarantee return visits as soon as possible.

"text": "Could More Annual Passholder Advantages be Coming to Walt Disney World? Stephen Porter | February 28, 2017Facebook 0Twitter 14 Google+ 0Walt Disney World has been testing a dedicated entrance into all four Disney theme parks exclusively for annual passholders. When they started this test in December, I immediately felt hopeful that it could eventually be made into a year round policy. Walt Disney World passholders typically feel neglected by Disney, and when we hear of how nicely Disneyland passholders are treated, we become jealous. With that said, it feels like things might be changing. Although Walt Disney World annual passes are less expensive than they are out in Disneyland, they still aren’t cheap, and for a long time it felt as if Walt Disney World executives didn’t seem to care about their passholders. A lot of passholders felt neglected. The news that there might be special dedicated lines for passholders to get into the park is a great way for Disney to make the passholders feel as if their business is valued. Not only that, but it doesn’t cost Disney anything, and it will hopefully help with the flow of traffic for everyone trying to get into the parks. This year, in celebration of the 45th anniversary, annual passholders receive 20% off food and non-alcoholic beverages at 45 restaurants across property."

There are 20 different types of rooms, suites, views, and categories with prices ranging between $410 per night for a Garden View room during Value Season all the way up to $2,965 per night for the Two-Bedroom Grand Suite during the Holiday Season. During Holiday Season, the Grand Floridian has 14 room types that cost more than $1,000 a night, making it the most expensive Deluxe resort. The Grand Floridian is also the newest of the Monorail Resorts, having opened in 1988, 17 years after the Contemporary and Polynesian. Location: The Grand Floridian was actually built on top of a man-made peninsula on Seven Seas Lagoon, near the Polynesian. On the monorail, the Grand Floridian is the most convenient resort to the Magic Kingdom because it’s only one stop away. Although the Grand Floridian is close to the Magic Kingdom, it is relatively far from Epcot and Hollywood Studios and one of the furthest resorts away from the Animal Kingdom. Size : The Grand Floridian is made up of the main building and five outlying guestroom buildings."

Adjacent to Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, Animal Kingdom Lodge opened in 2001. Designed by Peter Dominick of Wilderness Lodge fame, the resort fuses African tribal architecture with the rugged style of grand East African national-park lodges. Five-story thatched-roof guest-room wings fan out from a vast central rotunda housing the lobby. Public areas and about half of the rooms offer panoramic views of a private 43-acre wildlife preserve, punctuated with streams and elevated kopje (rock outcrops) and populated with some 200 free-roaming animals and 130 birds. Animal Kingdom Lodge is divided into two primary areas, the main Jambo House, which is comprised of standard hotel rooms, club level concierge rooms, and a small percentage of \"\"villa\"\" style rooms, and the adjacent Kidani Village, which is comprised entirely of studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom villas which function as small apartments with in-room kitchen facilities. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort map Most of the 972 guest rooms measure 344 square feet and boast hand-carved furnishings. Standard amenities include a flat-panel TV, desk with two chairs, minifridge, and coffeemaker. Behind each headboard sits faux mosquito netting."

"text": "\"By Caroline Costello Cruise Critic Contributor Save Share Updated March 27, 2018These days, staying in touch with friends and family stuck on land -- and even fellow passengers at sea -- is easier than ever. Ships now have branded apps that allow cruisers to chat with each other onboard, super-fast high-bandwidth Wi-Fi and even tablets for use at sea. Whether you want to post selfies to Facebook or check out your ship's dinner menus on your i Phone, you'll likely be covered. Internet speeds can vary significantly from line to line and ship to ship, depending on factors like location and available bandwidth. Most cruise lines don't offer speeds that can support streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. Royal Caribbean, however, is changing the at-sea connectivity game with a relatively affordable high-speed service that can support video and music streaming. The line rolled out Voom -- the fastest Wi-Fi at sea -- fleetwide in 2016. Just like connection speeds at sea, internet charges vary by cruise line. Some lines charge by the minute, and others offer daily or voyage-long packages. A few lines charge by bandwidth."

Many people are familiar with traditional timeshares where owners purchase the right to use an accommodation at that resort for a specific period of time each year. Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is a ‘vacation ownership’ where those purchasing an ‘ownership interest’ automatically belong to the ‘club.’ If you’re a Disney ‘addict’ who enjoys staying at the uniquely themed Disney Resorts, Disney Vacation Club is worth looking into. Your purchase consists of ‘vacation points’ and based on availability, those points may be used for reservations at any time of year in a selection of villas found at each Disney Vacation Club Resort or even at a selection of Resorts located around the world as well as Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disne y options. If you want to branch out from the Mouse, your points can also be used to stay at top hotels or resorts world-wide through RCI. The flexibility is what makes the Disney Vacation Club so unique. You can use your DVC points at any time throughout the year and you can choose the size of accommodations that best suit your needs. You can even ‘bank’ points from one year to use them together with the following year for larger vacations. From studios to Grand Villas, your \"\"Home Away from Home\"\" will have everything you need to make your vacation a memorable one."

As shown on Table 1, this resin provides the electrical and mechanical properties needed for low - voltage applications. Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene has a melt flow rate of: 6.6 g/10 min. This permits a good combination of extrusion speed and stress crack resistance, making Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) the insulation of choice for most primary insulation that is more than 7 mils thick. Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) possesses a balance of processing and performance properties which make it the preferred resin for many applications. Like all fluorocarbon resins, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) offers an excellent combination of properties: chemical inertness, exceptional dielectric properties, heat resistance, toughness, flexibility, low coefficient of friction, nonstick characteristics, negligible moisture absorption, low flammability, performance at temperature extremes and weather resistance. Applications: Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is used in many applications. One of the largest uses is in telecommunications/data cables where Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) not only provides excellent fire performance and physical properties but also superior electrical performance. In this role, it is ideal as an insulation for constructions meeting Article 725 and Article 800 of the National Electric Code (NEC) where Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) provides superior dielectric properties for rapid, clear signal transmission. Cables insulated with Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) have met the requirements oh Underwriter's Laboratory UL 910 Steiner Tunnel Test for installation in plenums without metal conduits."

Plunkett who was a research chemist at US Du Pont when he was conducting tetrafluoroethylen (TFE) gas experiment. At this experiment, TFE was stored in a cylinder and gas should have come out of the cylinder, however, none of gas came out. Dr. Plunkett opened the cylinder and he found a white powder there. The white powder he found was PTFE. Fluorite is a colorful stone and shines beautifully. When fluorite acts on acid, their chemical reaction creates fluoric acids. And when fluoric acids act on chloroform, their chemical reaction creates a substance. Once the substance is pyrolytically decomposed, raw material of PTFE is made."

This polymer performs well in extreme corrosive and high-temperature environments, and meets specific requirements to withstand extreme environments. Due to its high resistance to temperature, chemical reaction, corrosion and stress cracking, it is widely used in the industry as fluoropolymer coating, resin, additives and film products. Fluoropolymer is commonly used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, telecommunications and defense-related industries. These polymers are mechanically characterized as thermosets or thermoplastics polymers. They can be both homopolymers or copolymers. Corrosionpedia explains Fluoropolymer A fluoropolymer is a plastic material based in fluorocarbon containing carbon fluorine molecules. It is a special type of polymer that possesses special properties. The electronegative ion fluoride in a fluoropolymer gives it strong carbon-fluoride bonds, which makes it non-sticky."

Did you know... Many people mistakenly assume that the mineral fluorite got its name from the element fluorine, but the reverse is true. The element fluorine actually derives its name from fluorite and is a deadly poison that killed or permanently injured a number of scientists involved in its original isolation and identification. From improved dental health via fluoridated water and toothpaste to the development of nuclear energy and atomic bombs, fluorite’s legacy spans the spectrum of fluorine use in our society across medical, chemical and industrial fields. Although fluorine occurs in a variety of minerals, fluorite is our main source of fluorine simply because of its abundance and high fluorine content. Description and Identifying Characteristics Although fluorite is not particularly abundant, it is one of the more familiar minerals because it forms well-developed crystals in a variety of colors that are widely collected and traded. These crystals are transparent to translucent and form distinctive cubic or octahedral crystals (similar in shape to 6-sided and 8-sided dice). Fluorite that forms from higher temperature fluids tends to occur as octahedral crystals, while fluorite that forms from lower temperature fluids tends to occur as cubic crystals. Pure fluorite crystals are clear, so the many colors fluorite crystals come in simply reflect a variety of minor impurities in the crystal’s chemical composition that tint the crystal."

"text": "Silane coupling agents and surface conditioning in dentistry Back to clinical articles International By Christie YK Lung, Hong Kong, & Jukka Pekka Matinlinna, Finland September 12, 2012In dental restorations, it is desirable to have durable and strong bonding between resin composite and dental restorative materials. Weak bonding at the interface can be dramatically enhanced with a coupling agent. An overview by Christie YK Lung, Hong Kong, and Jukka Pekka Matinlinna, Finland. Silane coupling agents, which are synthetic hybrid inorganic-organic compounds, are used to promote adhesion between dissimilar materials. They are good at promoting adhesion in silica-based materials such as porcelain. However, adhesion in non-silica-based restorative materials such as zirconia, metals and metal alloys is not satisfactory. A solution to this problem may be surface conditioning of the restorative materials. Currently, a widely used surface-conditioning method in dentistry is tribochemical silica coating. After this treatment, a silica layer is formed on the surface so that the silane coupling agent can react chemically to form a durable bond with non-silica-based materials. Moreover, this treatment increases surface roughness, which will enhance micromechanical interlocking for bonding."

In very small amounts, it is also a trace element necessary for the health of most organisms, although the line between enough and too much is very fine. The element and various compounds have a number of uses, ranging from the construction of nuclear bombs to additives in dental products which are designed to promote oral health. Pure fluorine is not generally available, since it is extremely dangerous, but fluorine compounds known as fluorides can be found in dental products and municipal water supplies, among other places. The atomic number of fluorine is nine, and the element belongs to the halogen group. It is the lightest of the halogen gases, and the most reactive naturally occurring element, due to its electronegative configuration. On the periodic table of elements, fluorine is identified with the symbol F. The element was first isolated in 1886, at great peril to the scientists who did so. Pure fluorine is a pale yellow, highly corrosive, poisonous gas. It allegedly has a very pungent odor, although since inhalation of the gas is extremely dangerous, this is difficult to verify. It is essentially impossible to find pure fluorine in nature, since the highly reactive element readily bonds with any elements it is exposed to."

But mention “Teflon,” and most people will know that it’s mostly used in frying pans for its “non-stick” qualities. What may come as a surprise is that Teflon isn’t the only form of fluoropolymer used in the world. There are actually several types available, though the most popular ones are produced by the same company – Du Pont Co. Of those available on the market, the most common fluoropolymers are PFA and PTFE due to their unique qualities and versatility. PFA, or Perfluoroalkoxy, is a type of fluoropolymer. It has very similar properties as the more common polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is the more popularly known form of Teflon. PFA was conceived by Du Pont Co. and given the brand name Teflon PFA. What distinguishes it from the resins of PTFE is that PFA is melt processable. This is accomplished through conventional injection molding as well as screw extrusion techniques. PFA is generally used for plastic lab equipment because of its optical transparency, overall flexibility, and extreme resistance to chemical attack."

Well, first of all, different elements react for different reasons, so it isn’t very fair to use a single scale of reactivity to judge all elements. However, the most important, is probably Electronegativity. The most electronegative element is Fluorine. It has an En of 4.0, which means that it will react with just about any non-inert substance in order to complete its outer shell. For this reason, hydrofluoric acid is one of the most acidic substances on earth, and Fluorine is rarely found in elemental form, as there is little in nature that can break a bond with Fluorine, without bonding to it itself. Of course on the other end of the spectrum, you have Caesium, the least electronegative element. Caesium really wants to get rid of its single valence electron, so that it’s outermost shell is filled. Caesium is extremely reactive, but most chemists would agree that Fluorine is even moreso. Diatomic Fluorine F2, is one of the weakest covalent bonds, and therefore is easily reactive with other substances to form fluoride salts and minerals, which make some of the strongest bonds."

Melatonin is a chemical that tells us when to go to sleep at night and when to get up in the morning. Light decreases the production of melatonin and darkness increases it, so the pineal gland acts as a internal timepiece.

In Roman times, soldiers were partially paid in salt ( salarium, the root of the modern word salary ). In 1648 the German chemist Johann Rudolf Glauber obtained a strong acid, which he called spirit of salt, by heating moist salt in a charcoal furnace and condensing the fumes in a receiver. Later he obtained the same product, now known to be hydrochloric acid, by heating salt with sulfuric acid. In 1774 the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele treated powdered black oxide of manganese with hydrochloric acid and obtained a greenish-yellowish gas, which he failed to recognize as an element."

"text": "Teflon™ FEP Resin and Film Resin Teflon™ FEP is a fluorinated ethylene propylene resin that meets the ASTM Standard Specification for FEP—Fluorocarbon Molding and Extrusion Materials under ASTM Designation D2116-95a. It is available as pellets or as stabilized aqueous dispersions. Applications for this family of resins include coating, melt extrusion, and impregnating. Products made from Teflon™ FEP are known for their excellent chemical resistance, superior electrical properties, and high service temperatures of up to 200°C (392°F). In addition, Teflon™ FEP provides outstanding low-temperature toughness and unique flame resistance. Teflon™ FEP fluoroplastic resins are processed by conventional melt-extrusion techniques and by injection, compression, transfer, and blow-molding processes. The high melt strength and draw-down capability of these resins facilitate the use of large dies and draw-down tooling to increase production rates. Equipment in contact with molten resin should be made of corrosion-resistant metals. Larger length-over-diameter extruder barrels are used to provide enough residence time at high production rates to melt these high-temperature polymers. Reciprocating screw injection molding machines are recommended."

"text": "Home > Products By Vehicle > Powerstroke > 7.3L >Description Reviews ( 0 )7.3L Powerstroke IPR Repair Kit- You may not need a new IPR Valve! - ( fits all 1994 - 2003)The IPR Valve on your Powerstroke is responsible for controlling the pressure in the high-pressure oil system which in turn operates the fuel injectors. The IPR (injection pressure regulator) is located on the high pressure oil pump at the front of the engine's valley. Because of the high pressures they are responsible for controlling, the IPR valve o-rings are a semi-common failure which will in turn result in such low oil pressure related symptoms as poor idle, stalling, and even a no-start condition. While there are other potential causes, such as a failed IPR valve, the o-rings themselves are often at fault, and are much less expensive to replace. This kit includes three o-rings / seals and a retaining nut.

We have aggregated an impressive group of thought leaders for patent disputes. Our agenda covers a lot of strategy for patent disputes, who else better to talk about strategy than those who develop and execute those strategies daily. Our day is punctuated with Michelle Lee, the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Related Sign Up – Patent Disputes Forum North Panel 1: Inter Partes Reviews: What Have We Really Learned? Our conference begins with a look at IPRs. The statistics tell us that pretty much everyone is taking advantage of the IPR procedure the AIA established almost 4 years ago. As with most numbers, we can use the statistics to show what we want to show. This panel is going beyond the numbers to address what is really happening with IPRs."

"text": "\"Chinese Civil War During World War II it was envisioned that in a two-front war Europe would have to come first, and this judgment that Germany must be defeated before Japan stood as the most important single strategic concept of the war. But it was only after the start of war in Europe did the President accept a war strategy which not only assumed a two-front conflict but also made the European conflict a higher priority than the fight with Japan. This debate during the early 1940s pitted commanders such as Mac Arthur and Marshall against each other, and these feuds were not forgotten after the end of the war. Long-time rivals, in many ways Marshall and Mac Arthur represented different viewpoints: moderate conservative versus committed right-winger, Europe-first versus concentration on Asia, and limited war versus total war. Indeed, formulation of policy towards the Soviet Union in what eventually became the Cold War followed the same pattern, ultimately with the same Europe-first conclusion. The story of the Chinese civil war is the tale of a failed state in which numerous domestic political and military factions are vying for power, while aggressive foreign powers are impinging on Chinese sovereignty, and at the same time the entire world is plunged into the Great Depression, WWII, and the early stages of the Cold War. Given the huge size of China, in both population and geographic scope, and the chaos that followed the fall of the last dynasty, it is no surprise that this is a very complicated tale. The first round of the Chinese civil war was won not by Mao Tse-tung, but by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang, which broke an alliance of convenience with the Communists on its way to the establishment of a new National government in 1928. By the eve of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, the Kuomintang had forced a historic Communist retreat to a barren and remote base area in northwest China. By then, the Red Army had been attrited to a fraction of its former modest size."

The agreement aims to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the Internet, and would create a new governing body outside existing forums, such as the World Trade Organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the United Nations. The agreement was signed in October 2011 by Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States. [ 6] In 2012, Mexico, the European Union and 22 countries which are member states of the European Union signed as well. [ 7] One signatory (Japan) has ratified (formally approved) the agreement, which would come into force in countries that ratified it after ratification by six countries. Industrial groups with interests in copyright, trademarks and other types of intellectual property said that ACTA was a response to \"\"the increase in global trade of counterfeit goods and pirated copyright protected works\"\". Organizations such as the Motion Picture Association of America and International Trademark Association are understood to have had a significant influence over the ACTA agenda. [ 8]Organisations representing citizens and non-governmental interests argued that ACTA could infringe fundamental rights including freedom of expression and privacy."

"text": "Overcoming The PTAB Checklist In An IPR Petition July 1, 2014, 10:43 AM EDTLaw360, New York (July 1, 2014, 10:43 AM EDT) --Gregory Bays Inter partes review is a new trial proceeding, set up under the America Invents Act, and conducted at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office that provides third parties an opportunity to challenge the validity of the claims of an issued patent. Congress intended IPR to be a procedure that reduces costly and time-consuming litigation by taking advantage of the PTO’s specialized expertise in assessing patent validity. IPR proceeding is available only after a nine-month post-grant waiting period for the patents examined under the AIA, i.e., those with priority date of March 16, 2013, or later. However, under an amendment signed into law in Jan. 14, 2013, this nine-month waiting period does not apply to patents examined under the pre-AIA rule. [ 1] IPRs have proven to be very popular. Since their initial inception in September 2012, more than 1,209 petitions seeking an inter partes review have been filed with the PTAB as of May 22, 2014. Sixty-two final decisions on IPR proceedings had been published, and in 28 petitions, at least some claims of patent claims were found to be invalid. Thus, at least so far, IPR proceedings have been an effective way to challenge the validity of a patent. But before getting to a final decision, a challenger has to first file a petition requesting an IPR proceeding that is sufficient to be accorded a filing date. This filing date can be critical for defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit because upon service of a complaint, a defendant has only one year to file an IPR before becoming statutorily barred."

Andykatecw 05/01/2011@Andy That is less of an issue for government since they tend to be dealing with others’ data rather than creating their own IPR.

While each country determines its own destiny, the presence of the European Union (EU) is felt in all legal controversies and court cases. The Internet industry extends across borders, and so do filtering, military surveillance, and the monitoring of users. Privacy issues were formerly a concern of the elite, but with the growth of the information society, the right to privacy is now being discussed more widely in different political contexts. A popular civil rights movement of file sharers and privacy advocates has arisen out of Sweden in response to both national and international trends, and digital rights activism is increasingly directed at the European Parliament. Single-issue political parties concerned with privacy have now also begun to form in countries outside Europe. Regional ICT Penetration The World Economic Forum 1 ranks the Nordic countries at the very top of information and communication technology (ICT) use in the world. All five countries were listed in the top ten of a 2008–2009 survey prepared in partnership with the international business school INSEAD. 2 The Nordic countries each have broadband Internet penetration rates of more than 30 percent of the population.

One of the main benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are made from a clear plastic so that you can undergo orthodontic treatment without having bulky brackets or metal wires showing. The treatment is so discreet that they are often called invisible braces. What is the Invisalign procedure? If you are considering treatment with Invisalign invisible braces you will first need to find yourself an Invisalign certified orthodontist or dentist in order to have an initial consultation. At some clinics the initial Invisalign consultation is free of charge. The Invisalign Consultation Case study courtesy of Dr Adam Thorne During your Invisalign consultation you will have your teeth examined and be given the chance to ask any questions that you have. Your dentist will give you an indication of expected timescales and costs of treatment. If you decide to go ahead with the treatment you will have a series of diagnostic records taken for which there is usually a fee. These will include X-rays, photographs and a series of impressions from which replica moulds of your teeth are made."

He dominated the anti- communist movement in the United States, 1950–54, until his career receded after censure by the Senate. \"\" Mc Carthyism\"\" is the aggressive exposure of Communist influences in America and the people who protect them. Beginning in 1950, Mc Carthy became the most visible public figure to object to Communist infiltration of the United States government. A 1954 Gallup poll found that Joe Mc Carthy was the fourth on its list of most admired men. [ 1] He is now considered an American hero by many, though liberals still seek to tarnish his name. He was noted for claiming that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers, engaged in a conspiracy to undermine the United States, inside the federal government. He was proven correct by government documents and inquiry, including decrypted Venona files. Mc Carthy lost support in 1953 when he started attacking the U. S. Army and suggesting that Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower was protecting subversives. Eisenhower signaled Republicans to stop his attacks on the Army."

What is innovation? There is no one single definition. But innovation as described in the Innovation Union plan broadly means change that speeds up and improves the way we conceive, develop, produce and access new products, industrial processes and services. Changes that create more jobs, improve people's lives and build greener and better societies. What is the Innovation Union? The Innovation Union is key to achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. It aims to improve conditions and access to finance for research and innovation in Europe, to ensure that innovative ideas can be turned into products and services that create growth and jobs. The Innovation Union focuses on major areas of concern for citizens such as climate change, energy efficiency and healthy living. It pursues a broad, balanced concept of innovation, both technological innovation leading to efficiency gains in production processes and improved performance of products and innovation in business models, design, branding and services that add value for users."

In the IPR comments on that article, which as of this writing have been for the most part strongly negative, Andy posted this video of Judge Andrew Napolitano discussing his book Theodore and Woodrow: How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom with Reason TV’s Nick Gillespie: Judge Napolitano: How Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson Destroyed Constitutional Freedom Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 14:03Judge Gray has been rumored to be a likely candidate for the Libertarian Party 2016 Presidential or VP nomination. Judge Napolitano has also had some such rumors swirling around him as well, and at the very least implicitly endorsed Libertarian Gary Johnson in the 2012 presidential general election; however, Judge Napolitano is a close associate of Senator Rand Paul, who is likely to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 also. Judge Gray’s columns have been drawing some ire from other libertarian commentators lately, for example see: Judge Gray: The Police As Noble Public Servants Opposing Viewpoints To Judge Gray’s Article About Policemen Judge Gray: John Adams-Defender of Freedom Judge Gray Responds to IPR’s Opposing Viewpoints on Policemen As Noble Servants A sampling of IPR comments on Judge Gray’s column about Colonel Teddy Roosevelt: George Whitfield: I suggest that Judge Gray read “Theodore and Woodrow: How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom” by Judge Andrew Napolitano for a more libertarian perspective of Theodore Roosevelt. I previously had a very high opinion of Judge Gray as a Libertarian Party leader but his articles praising John Adams and now Theodore Roosevelt are giving me doubt. Jared King: Okay, this is getting silly. J. D.: I think Teddy is an interesting character in American history. I have no clue what he has to do with libertarianism though.

Design/methodology/approach – The paper explores the characteristics of the knowledge economy, as elaborated by academics and policy makers concerned with knowledge in the contemporary global business environment. A range of available data is reviewed concerning the global distribution of investments in knowledge, information and communications technologies (ICTs), international transactions in knowledge-intensive services and royalty and licensing fees, employment by sector and literacy rates. Such data provide a basis for an initial critical evaluation of the notion of the global knowledge economy. Findings – The use of the term “global knowledge economy” fails to acknowledge the uneven distribution of knowledge-based economic activity. Moreover, as currently constituted, the idea of a global knowledge economy, which focuses on knowledge as conceptualised in the commercial activities of advanced countries, overlooks the diversity of knowledges present in the world today. Originality/value – This paper provides the first attempt to question and critically explore the global knowledge economy. Keywords Knowledge economy, Communication technologies, Intellectual property, Knowledge management, Globalization Paper type Viewpoint Introduction The term “global knowledge economy” is being increasingly used to describe the contemporary world economy. The term has emerged from the debates on the knowledge economy, which arise from the recognition that advanced economies derive a high proportion of their economic wealth from the creation, exploitation and distribution of knowledge and information. The importance of knowledge in economic activity has received much attention over the past 20 years from policy makers and management scholars (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 1996; Department for Trade and Industry, 1998; World Bank, 1999; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995; Davenport and Prusak, 1997; Boisot, 1998; Alvesson, 2004; Defillippi et al.,"

The curved part of ileum forming the iliac crest offers strength to pelvis structure. The iliac crest is that one on top of pelvic bone forming a curved ridge. Most back, hip, and abdominal muscles are seen to originate from iliac crest. It is an important bone structure that contains significant amount of bone marrow. Sponsored link Iliac crest may suffer pain due to trauma, or other conditions like inflammation that create pressure on muscles and nerves. The iliac crest may develop fracture due to hip trauma or complications in bone marrow donors. Although the factures may be painful, they are considered mechanically stable since the pelvic ring is intact. Causes of ilac crest pain Pain in iliac crest may be experienced in older people, those who have lower back pain, and in athletes.

The pelvis (plural pelves or pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk of the human body [1] between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it [2] (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton ). The pelvic region of the trunk includes the bony pelvis, the pelvic cavity (the space enclosed by the bony pelvis), the pelvic floor, below the pelvic cavity, and the perineum, below the pelvic floor. [ 1] The pelvic skeleton is formed in the area of the back, by the sacrum and the coccyx and anteriorly and to the left and right sides, by a pair of hip bones. The two hip bones connect the spine with the lower limbs. They are attached to the sacrum posteriorly, connected to each other anteriorly, and joined with the two femurs at the hip joints. The gap enclosed by the bony pelvis, called the pelvic cavity, is the section of the body underneath the abdomen and mainly consists of the reproductive organs (sex organs) and the rectum, while the pelvic floor at the base of the cavity assists in supporting the organs of the abdomen. In mammals, the bony pelvis has a gap in the middle, significantly larger in females than in males. Their young pass through this gap when they are born.

"text": "Contents [ show]The left and right hip bones (innominate bones, pelvic bones) are two irregularly shaped bones that form part of the pelvic girdle – the bony structure that attaches the axial skeleton to the lower limbs. The hip bones have three main articulations: Sacroiliac joint – articulation with the sacrum. Pubic symphysis – articulation between the left and right hip bones. Hip joint – articulation with the head of femur. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the hip bones – their composition, bony landmarks, and clinical relevance. By Anatomography [CC-BY-SA-2.1-jp], via Wikimedia Commons Fig 1 – Overview of the anatomical position of the hip bones. Composition of the Hip Bone The hip bone is comprised of the three parts; the ilium, pubis and ischium. Prior to puberty, the t riradiate cartilage separates these parts – and fusion only begins at the age of 15-17. Together, the ilium, pubis and ischium form a cup-shaped socket known as the acetabulum (literal meaning in Latin is ‘ vinegar cup ‘). The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum to form the hip joint."

"text": "Orthopedics Hip & Knee Anatomy of the Iliac Crest Definition, Function, and Possible Injuries By Elizabeth Quinn Updated November 21, 2017Share Pin Email Print Stocktrek Images/Getty Images When you put your hands on your hips, they are on the iliac crest of your hip bones, the front and outer area of your pelvic girdle. The iliac crest is the thick curved upper border of the ilium, the most prominent bone on the pelvis. The iliac crest is concave in front, rounding inward, and convex in back, rounding outward. You can feel the iliac crest by pushing your hands on your sides at your waist, feeling for the bone and following it down and to the front. When you think of how wide your hips are, you are probably thinking of the distance from the iliac crest on one side to the other. Synonyms: crest of the ilium, hip bones Anatomy of the Iliac Crest The iliac crest is the upper border of the wing of the ilium, the outer and upper margin of the pelvic girdle. It runs from the anterior superior iliac spine to the posterior superior iliac spine. It has an inner and outer lip. There is an iliac tubercle on the widest point of the iliac crest. This is where the iliotibial band attaches to the hip."

An accurate way to determine the skeletal age of a child is to use an X ray of the left wrist and to compare it with X rays in the Greulich and Pyle atlas. Here a series of X rays showing the development and ossification of the wrist, and hand bones is displayed, together with the average age these appear. The axial skeleton matures a few years later than the limbs, and for scoliosis,the Risser sign is a useful method of bone age determination. Skeletal age can be determined by the appearance of the iliac apophysis of the pelvis. The apophysis appears laterally on a pelvic X ray, and moves towards the spine as the patient approaches adulthood. Risser's sign is a measures the growth left in the spine - this may help to determine the potential for progression of scoliosis. Grading (based on iliac crest divided into 4 quadrants)Risser's Sign Risser 1: 25% iliac apophysis ossification Anterior Superior iliac spine (anterolateral) Seen in prepuberty or early puberty Risser 2: 50% iliac apophysis ossification Ossification extends halfway across iliac wing Seen immediately before or during growth spurt Risser 3: 75% iliac apophysis ossification.

There is one pair of iliac bones in the bony pelvis that articulate with the sacrum in the lower back at the sacroiliac joint. The pair of iliac bones is also fused with two pairs of bones in the front: the two ischium bones and the two pubic bones. The functions of the ilium or pair of iliac bones include forming a portion of the acetabulum and hip joint, providing protection to some organs of the urinary system and the reproductive system, and transferring weight from the upper body to the bony pelvis. Parts of the ilium or pair of iliac bones include the ala, body and iliac crest and iliac tuberosity.

"text": "The fusion is accomplished when the graft material placed between the two bones of a motion segment induces bony incorporation on both sides and heals them together as one bone. This eliminates motion but also hopefully reduces the pain from that segment of the spine. Bone Graft Types There are a number of different types of bone grafts that can be used for spinal fusion: Synthetic bone graft substitutes (man made)Allograft (cadaver bone from a bone bank)Autograft (bone graft taken from the patient’s own body). Bone graft material can be morselized into small pieces or used as larger pieces for structural purposes to help achieve a spinal fusion. Article continues below In This Article: Bone Graft Site Pain and Morbidity After Spinal Fusion Bone Harvest Approaches and Graft Site Morbidity Synthetic Bone Graft Options Spine Fusion Surgery Video What Is Bone Graft Site Morbidity? Graft site morbidity refers to any consequences that result from the harvesting of the patient's own bone (an autograft). Undesirable side effects and complications that can result from the bone graft harvesting procedure include early post-operative pain, chronic pain, scarring, bleeding, infection, and more. In spinal fusion surgery the most common site for obtaining autograft bone is from the portion of the pelvis called the iliac crest - the boney prominence around the belt-line of the hip. The bone graft can be harvested from the front (anterior iliac crest) or from the back (posterior iliac crest) of the pelvis. The ilium is also a source for harvesting bone marrow aspirate, which contains cells that serve to stimulate bone formation."

Introduction Section: Choose prevnext In young patients, displaced pelvic ring fractures result from the transfer of substantial kinetic energy to the body. They most commonly result from trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents (60% of cases), falls from a height (30% of cases), and crush injuries (10% of cases) ( 1 ). Thus, displaced pelvic ring injuries are a marker for high-energy trauma and are often associated with other life-threatening injuries. Although the mortality rate in patients with pelvic fracture has declined in recent years, the incidence of pelvic fractures is increasing because of the increased incidence of high-speed motor vehicle accidents and increased survival rates after these accidents ( 2 ). Pelvic fractures increase the risk for mortality primarily because of hemorrhage caused by direct injury to adjacent vasculature (venous and arterial) from osseous fragments, disruption of vessels by shear forces, and osseous bleeding ( 3 ). After a displaced pelvic fracture, mortality is most often related to acute hemorrhage in patterns that increase the pelvic volume, such as anteroposterior (AP) compression and vertical shear, but it may also result from associated injuries in patterns such as lateral compression, which reduces the pelvic volume ( 4 – 7 ). An external fixator or pelvic binder may stabilize the pelvis and tamponade venous hemorrhage but is often ineffective for hemodynamically significant arterial bleeding."

"text": "\"Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy from Iliac Crest Medical editor Ellen Aurlien MD Internist, Oncologist Oslo University Hospital Håvar Knutsen MD Hematologist Oslo University Hospital General The cells in the blood and lymph system originate from stem cells in the bone marrow. A bone marrow examination is performed to diagnose lymphoma, leukemia, and metastasis to bone marrow. The examination usually includes an aspiration and/or biopsy from the iliac crest. When diagnosing Hodgkin's lymphoma, an aspirate and biopsy are taken from both sides. Sometimes, aspiration from the sternum is appropriate. In special cases, the aspiration is performed with the help of image guidance in cooperation with the nuclear medicine department. A bone marrow examination involves: Smear for primary examination, otherwise for special indications Imprint of biopsy - the biopsy is placed on the slide glass and rolled out. This can be done if there are problems with the aspirate. Peripheral blood smear is taken if there is suspicion of leukemization (malignant cells in the blood circulation)An expanded examination may include Flow cytometry immunphenotyping (marker testing)Cytogenetics (chromosome testing)Other molecular testing (For example PCR: polymerase chain reaction, FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridization)Special examinations associated with studies The examination is usually performed under local anesthesia.

"text": "Medical Health Tests Articles Blood Tests What Is MCHC In Blood Test? Submitted by Nic on October 18, 2012Tweet A MCHC test is a test that is carried out to test a person for anemia. The MCHC in a MCHC test stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration. MCHC is the calculation of the average hemoglobin inside a red blood cell. A MCHC test can be performed along with a MCV test (Mean Corpuscular Volume). Both levels are used to test people for anemia. The MCHC test is also known as the MCH blood test which tests the levels of hemoglobin in the blood. The MCHC test can be ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. Other components of the CBC test include White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), Platelet Count, Hemoglobin, MCV, Hematocrit and White Blood Cell Differential. Keep in mind that MCHC results will be different for children and for babies."

The red blood cell indices, called MCHC, MCV, MCH, and RDW give further information about your red blood cells and can be helpful in determining the cause of anemia and other medical conditions. Let's take a look at the information contained in your complete blood count ( CBC ), including your red blood cell count, and then discuss the meaning and importance of each of these indices. Your Complete Blood Count (CBC)The complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test ordered by doctors so that they can evaluate the composition and quality of the blood cells in your body. These blood cells include: White blood cells (leukocytes) which help fight infection Red blood cells (erythrocytes) which distribute oxygen throughout the body Platelets (thrombocytes) which clot blood Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)The red blood cell count (RBC) is the number of red blood cells that are found in your blood. A normal RBC count depends on age and gender: For women, 4.2 - 5.4 million/mc LFor men, 4.7 - 6.1 million/mc LFor children 4.1 - 5.5 million/mc LA low red blood cell count is referred to as anemia. There are many different causes of anemia, of which iron deficiency is only one. Red blood cell indices are very helpful in distinguishing these different causes. An elevated red blood cell count is called erythrocytosis or polycythemia. Causes may include dehydration (in which the level isn't actually high, but appears that way due to less fluid volume in the blood), a need for greater oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, such as living at high altitudes, COPD, or heart failure, and an increased production of red cells in the bone marrow due to conditions such as polycythemia vera."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with mean corpuscular hemoglobin per erythrocyte, although they are predictably correlated in healthy states.hemoglobin The Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, a measure of the concentration of haemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. It is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. It is calculated by dividing the haemoglobin by the haematocrit. Reference ranges for blood tests are 32 to 36 g/d L, [1] or between 19.9 [2] and 22.3 [2] mmol/L. It is thus a mass or molar concentration. Still, many instances [3] [4] measure MCHC in percentage (%), as if it were a mass fraction (m Hb / m RBC ). Numerically, however, the MCHC in g/d L and the mass fraction of haemoglobin in red blood cells in % are identical, assuming an RBC density of 1g/m L and negligible haemoglobin in plasma. Contents [ hide ]1 Interpretation2 Complications with cold agglutinin3 Worked example4 See also5 References6 External links Interpretation [ edit]A low MCHC can be interpreted as identifying decreased production of hemoglobin. MCHC can be normal even when hemoglobin production is decreased (such as in iron deficiency) due to a calculation artifact. MCHC can be elevated (\"\"polychromatic\"\") in hereditary spherocytosis, sickle cell disease and homozygous haemoglobin C disease, depending upon the hemocytometer. [ 5] [6] MCHC can be elevated in some megaloblastic anemias."

"text": "MCHC Blood Test A MCHC blood test is performed to test a person for anemia. MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) is the calculation of the average hemoglobin inside a red blood cell. A MCHC test can be performed along with a MCV test (Mean Corpuscular Volume). Both levels are used to test people for anemia. The MCHC blood test is also known as the MCH blood test which tests the levels of hemoglobin in the blood. The MCHC blood test can be ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. Other components of the CBC test include White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), Platelet Count, Hemoglobin, MCV, Hematocrit and White Blood Cell Differential. Keep in mind that MCHC results will be different for children and for babies. If the MCHC blood test results are high or low it often indicates a problem. If the levels fall between the normal range, the person does not have to worry about being anemic."

Red blood cell (RBC) indices are individual components of a routine blood test called the complete blood count (CBC). The CBC is used to measure the quantity and physical characteristics of different types of cells found in your blood. Blood consists of RBCs, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets that are suspended in your plasma. Platelets are cells that enable clot formation. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout your body to all of your tissues and organs. An RBC is pale red and gets its color from hemoglobin. It’s shaped like a doughnut, but it has a thinner area in the middle instead of a hole. Your RBCs are normally all the same color, size, and shape. However, certain conditions can cause variations that impair their ability to function properly."

Doctors use the RDW blood test as part of a complete blood test to help diagnose certain conditions that can affect your health. A blood test to measure variations in blood cell size can help diagnose causes of anemia, heart disease, diabetes, and liver disease. The normal range for measuring the differences in the size of red blood cells (erythrocyte) is between 11.8% and 14.6%. RDW level greater than 14.5% means that there is a large degree of variation in red blood cell size. Elevated red blood cell distribution width could mean that a person is anemic and is at risk of other health conditions. Advertisement In this article, you will learn about the RDW blood test and what it means for your health. Using results from checking RDW level can help in the early diagnosis and successful treatment of certain health issues. What is Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) Blood Test?

"text": "Manic behavior, or mania, is a term used to describe the “up” portion of manic depression, also called bipolar disorder. People in this state are generally unusually happy, even when not appropriate. They often experience elevated energy levels and some may even require little or no sleep at all during this time. Mania is also hallmarked by patients exhibiting uncharacteristic behavior, such as increased risk taking, aggression, or violent mood swings. This is often followed by a period of severe depression. Although manic behavior is generally associated with bipolar disorder, periods of mania may occur without being followed by a period of deep depression. Some patients with bipolar may have more problems with the manic episodes than with depression, with some patients rarely having a depressive episode at all. Medications are generally given to stabilize mood and calm patients down. Some patients do not like giving up the manic behavior because they may feel happy or giddy during this time, and unhappy at any other time. Ad Despite the often positive feelings patients may experience during a period of manic behavior, it is still a serious problem and should be treated as such."

"text": "\"Our Bipolar Disorder Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder: A mood disorder sometimes called manic-depressive illness or manic-depression that characteristically involves cycles of depression and elation or mania. Sometimes the mood switches from high to low and back again are dramatic and rapid, but more often they are gradual and slow, and intervals of normal mood may occur between the high ( manic) and low (depressive) phases of the condition. The symptoms of both the depressive and manic cycles may be severe and often lead to impaired functioning. Both phases of the disease are deleterious. Mania affects thinking, judgment, and social behavior in ways that may cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, unwise business or financial decisions may be made when an individual is in a manic phase. Depression can also affect thinking, judgment, and social behavior in ways that may cause grave problems. For example, it elevates the risk of suicide. About 5.7 million American adults, or about 2.6 percent of the population aged 18 and older, have bipolar disorder. Although bipolar disorder often worsens over time if untreated, most people with bipolar disorder can achieve stabilization of their mood swings and reduction of symptoms with proper treatment."

"text": "Child and Adolescent Bipolar Disorder: An Update from the National Institute of Mental Health National Institute of Mental Health 14 Oct 2002; Reviewed: 25 Oct 2004Research findings, clinical experience, and family accounts provide substantial evidence that bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness, can occur in children and adolescents. Bipolar disorder is difficult to recognize and diagnose in youth, however, because it does not fit precisely the symptom criteria established for adults, and because its symptoms can resemble or co-occur with those of other common childhood-onset mental disorders. In addition, symptoms of bipolar disorder may be initially mistaken for normal emotions and behaviors of children and adolescents. But unlike normal mood changes, bipolar disorder significantly impairs functioning in school, with peers, and at home with family. Better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder in youth is urgently needed. In pursuit of this goal, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is conducting and supporting research on child and adolescent bipolar disorder. A Cautionary Note Effective treatment depends on appropriate diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents. There is some evidence that using antidepressant medication to treat depression in a person who has bipolar disorder may induce manic symptoms if it is taken without a mood stabilizer. In addition, using stimulant medications to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or ADHD-like symptoms in a child with bipolar disorder may worsen manic symptoms. While it can be hard to determine which young patients will become manic, there is a greater likelihood among children and adolescents who have a family history of bipolar disorder."

Although many people live with manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, many are never accurately diagnosed. Experts believe at least 5 million to 6 million people suffer from this condition in the U. S. alone. While even healthy people experience many changes in their moods throughout the day and over the course of their lifetimes, those with manic depression are prone to much more abrupt and drastic “ups and downs.” The majority of people with manic depression experience so much low (depression) and high (manic) phases that their quality of life is significantly impaired. This greatly affects their ability to live normally, hold relationships, take care of their bodies, work and communicate with others. Bipolar disorder impacts just about every facet of someone’s life, including that person’s thoughts, bodily sensations, sleep, personality and behaviors. During the high manic periods of manic depression, symptoms usually include restlessness, rage, hallucinations and aggression."

The severity of the mood swings, and the way they disrupt normal life activities, distinguish bipolar episodes from ordinary mood changes. These disruptive bipolar symptoms can be managed, however, and effective bipolar treatments do exist. Bipolar disorder involves the cycling of moods from an elevated mood, known as mania or hypomania, to a depressed mood. There are 4 different types of bipolar disorder:bipolar 1bipolar 2bipolar not otherwise specifiedcyclothymia The nature of bipolar symptoms means bipolar disorder can be difficult to recognize and, many times, it is misdiagnosed as depression.

Causes and symptoms The cause of schizoaffective disorder remains unknown and subject to continuing speculation. Some investigators believe schizoaffective disorder is associated with schizophrenia and may be caused by a similar biological predisposition. Others disagree, stressing the disorder'ssimilarities to mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression).

The following are descriptions of the most common categories of mental illness in the United States. Anxiety Disorders Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive fear or anxiety that is difficult to control and negatively and substantially impacts daily functioning. Fear refers to the emotional response to a real or perceived threat while anxiety is the anticipation of a future threat. These disorders can range from specific fears (called phobias), such as the fear of flying or public speaking, to more generalized feelings of worry and tension. Anxiety disorders typically develop in childhood and persist to adulthood. Specific anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder (social phobia). National prevalence data indicate that nearly 40 million people in the United States (18%) experience an anxiety disorder in any given year. According to SAMHSA’s report, Behavioral Health, United States – 2012, lifetime phobias and generalized anxiety disorders are the most prevalent among adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 and have the earliest median age of first onset, around age 6.

This condition is a serious lifelong struggle and challenge. [ 1]Signs and symptoms Bipolar affective disorder is characterized by periods of deep, prolonged, and profound depression that alternate with periods of an excessively elevated or irritable mood known as mania. Manic episodes are feature at least 1 week of profound mood disturbance, characterized by elation, irritability, or expansiveness (referred to as gateway criteria). At least 3 of the following symptoms must also be present [ 2]: Grandiosity Diminished need for sleep Excessive talking or pressured speech Racing thoughts or flight of ideas Clear evidence of distractibility Increased level of goal-focused activity at home, at work, or sexually Excessive pleasurable activities, often with painful consequences Hypomanic episodes are characterized by an elevated, expansive, or irritable mood of at least 4 consecutive days’ duration. The diagnosis of hypomania requires at least three of the symptoms above. The difference being that in hypomania these symptoms are not severe enough to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or to necessitate hospitalization and are not associated with psychosis. Major depressive episodes are characterized as, for the same 2 weeks, the person experiences 5 or more of the following symptoms, with at least 1 of the symptoms being either a depressed mood or characterized by a loss of pleasure or interest [ 2]: Depressed mood Markedly diminished pleasure or interest in nearly all activities Significant weight loss or gain or significant loss or increase in appetite Hypersomnia or insomnia Psychomotor retardation or agitation Loss of energy or fatigue Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt Decreased concentration ability or marked indecisiveness Preoccupation with death or suicide; patient has a plan or has attempted suicide See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis Examination of patients with suspected bipolar affective disorder includes evaluation using the Mental Status Examination as well as assessment of the following: Appearance Affect/mood Thought content Perception Suicide/self-destruction Homicide/violence/aggression Judgment/insight Cognition Physical health Testing Although bipolar disorder is diagnosed based on the patient’s history and clinical course, laboratory studies may be necessary to rule out other potential causes of the patient’s signs and symptoms as well as to have baseline results before administering certain medications. Laboratory tests that may be helpful include the following: CBC count ESR levels Fasting glucose levels Electrolyte levels Protein levels Thyroid hormone levels Creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels Liver and lipid panel Substance and alcohol screening Depending on the patient’s presentation, other laboratory tests may be indicated, which may include the following: Urinary copper levels Antinuclear antibody testing HIV testing VDRL testing Electrocardiography is important in elderly patients and before antidepressant therapy."

ANSWER: Manic depression symptoms (as found in manic-depressive disorder or bipolar disorder) involve symptom sets that are the opposite of each other. One involves a “high” set and the other a “low” set. These symptoms are found in a continuous range, mild-moderate-severe, in both the manic and depressive aspects. The National Institute of Mental Health lists many of the following Manic Depression symptoms. 1 Manic disorder that characterize the high or ‘manic’ aspect of manic disorder are called episode includes the following: Increased energy, activity, and restlessness Excessively ‘high,’ overly good, euphoric mood Distractibility, can’t concentrate well Racing thoughts and talking very fast Jumping from one idea to another Little sleep needed Increased sexual drive Spending sprees Poor judgment Unrealistic beliefs in one’s abilities and powers Extreme irritability Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications Denial that anything is wrong Lasting period of behavior that is different from usual Symptoms of manic disorder that characterize the low or ‘depressive’ aspect of manic-depressive disorder are the following: Lasting sad, anxious, or empty mood Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed, including sex Decreased energy, a feeling of fatigue or of being “slowed down”Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions Restlessness or irritability Sleeping too much, or can’t sleep Change in appetite and / or unintended weight loss or gain Chronic pain or persistent bodily symptoms not caused by illness or injury Thoughts of death or suicide / suicide attempts Hypomania Hypomania is the ‘mild to moderate’ level of the manic symptoms of manic-depressive disorder. Left untreated, hypomania can progress to severe mania or depression. Psychosis In severe episodes of mania or depression, symptoms of psychosis (hallucination and delusion) can occur. These symptoms of hallucination and delusion often result in manic-depressive disorder being misdiagnosed as Schizophrenia, another severe mental illness. Mixed Manic Depression 1 In the mixed manic-depressive state, symptoms of mania and depression occur together."

D. ~ 4 min read The symptoms of mania include: elevated mood, inflated self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, difficulty maintaining attention, increase in goal-directed activity, and excessive involvement in pleasurable activities. These manic symptoms significantly impact a person's daily living. What is a manic episode? A manic episode is not a disorder in and of itself, but rather is diagnosed as a part of a condition called bipolar disorder. A manic episode is a mood state characterized by period of at least one week where an elevated, expansive, or unusually irritable mood exists. A person experiencing a manic episode is usually engaged in significant goal-directed activity beyond their normal activities. People describe a manic mood as feeling very euphoric, “on top of the world,” and being able to do or accomplish anything. The feeling is like extreme optimism — but on steroids. Sometimes the manic mood is more irritable than it is elevated, especially if the person’s wishes are curtailed or denied altogether."

Until 2015 El Cholo's real name was not a matter of public record, as was often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. When he was unmasked he revealed his real name. Contents [ hide ]1 Professional wrestling career1.1 El Cholo (2008–present)2 Luchas de Apuestas record3 References Professional wrestling career [ edit]The wrestler who would later be known under the ring name El Cholo made his professional wrestling debut in 1993 or 1994 at the age of 20. Since El Cholo is an enmascarado, or masked wrestler he has not revealed what ring name he used prior to adopting the name and mask of El Cholo in 2008. In Lucha Libre the real identity of masked wrestlers is kept secret and often not even alluded to the fact that they used to compete under a different name. [ 1] The debut of El Cholo is listed as 1993 or 1994, but with no confirmation of what name he wrestled under, not even confirming if he wrestled as a masked wrestler before 2008 or not. El Cholo (2008–present) [ edit]He adopted the El Cholo name in 2008, working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as a low ranking rudo (\"\"bad guy\"\"), mainly wrestling in the first or second match of the night and at times with months between appearances. It is unclear if those breaks between matches was due to El Cholo having a day job, suffered from injuries or simply wrestled under a different identity as well from time to time. Over the years El Cholo remained a low ranking, but experienced rudo who helped work with younger wrestlers as part of their training and development as wrestlers. ["

RATINGFalse ORIGINOn 31 January 2016, a fake news site published an article reporting that drug notorious lord Joaquin Guzmán (commonly known as ‘El Chapo’), who had just been re-arrested by Mexican authorities seven months after he escaped from a maximum security prison, had broken out of prison for a third time: Early this morning, drug kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, head of the Sinaloa Cartel, escaped from the Altiplano maximum security prison once again. This is now the third time Guzmán has escaped from a Mexican prison and brings into question Mexico’s ability to keep corruption out of it’s penal system. In 1993, Guzmán was captured in Guatemala, extradited and sentenced to 20 years in prison in Mexico for murder and drug trafficking. In 2001, after bribing Mexican prison guards, he was able to escape from a federal maximum-security prison in 2001. On February 22nd, 2014, Guzmán was found inside his fourth-floor condominium in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, and was captured without any gunshots being fired. Guzmán escaped from prison again on July 11th, 2015 by exiting through a tunnel that led to a nearby construction site. He was recaptured by Mexican marines following a shootout at Guzman’s hideout in Mexico on January 8th, 2016. Although Guzmán has indeed escaped from custody in Mexico more than once, there was no truth to this story about his having broken out of the Altiplano maximum security prison once again. An identical article was republished in July 2016 by the same fake news site, this time using trademarks illegally appropriated from a legitimate news organization (ABC News) in order to lure readers into clicking through to the underlying malware site and generate advertising revenue."

With all that real estate to play with, it is not hard to imagine why Mexicans have a special place in their heart for football. Football is a national past time in Mexico and indeed the most popular sport in the country. Mexico loves football more than they love tacos. Traditionally, Mexicans love charreada (a form of rodeo), bullfighting and basque pelota. In modern times however, other sports has taken hold. Other than football, basketball, baseball, rugby union, racquetball and even ice hockey has enjoyed a decent amount of following in Mexico. Mexico is also home to various individual sports like tennis, golf, taekwondo, track and field and their second most popular sport, boxing. But we cannot talk about any spectator sport in Mexico without mentioning lucha libre. It is the Mexican professional wrestling although some may argue that it's more like a spectacle than an actual sport."

The match continued for almost two minutes before other participants and the referee realized Aguayo was seriously injured and tended to him. He was taken to a hospital a block away and died about 1:30 a.m., prosecutor's spokesman Raul Gutierrez said. \"\" I have no words for this terrible news,\"\" Joaquin Roldan, director of the AAA wrestling federation, said through his Twitter account. \"\" My sincerest condolences for the Aguayo Ramirez family.\"\" The state prosecutor's office said the cause of death, based on the autopsy, was trauma to the neck and a cervical fracture.

Lucha Libre as an art form is much beloved by the Latino culture, and is one of the most popular live events in Mexico after soccer, selling millions of tickets to a mass audience composed of families from across the socioeconomic strata. Lucha Libre is a Mexican passion that hails from at least as far back as the 1930s. Matches have sparked riots that have shut down large cities. Its almost mythic heroes who battle evil and corruption have inspired generations in movies as well as the ring. Long before the World Wrestling Federation brought back wrestling to the United States, Lucha Libre's masked heroes and villains were developing the moves that would make the WWFs founders very rich. Luchadores (wrestlers) execute characteristic high flying attacks by using the wrestling ring's ropes to catapult themselves towards their opponents, using intricate combinations in rapid-fire succession, and applying complex submission holds. Now days Lucha Libre is a growing phenomenon in many countries, including the U. S. with its own MTV shows and famous wrestlers such as Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara joining WWE. Masks have been used dating back to the beginnings of Lucha Libre. Early masks were very simple with basic colors to distinguish the wrestler."

The 35-year-old AAA star died during a match in Tijuana for independent Mexican company The Crash, during which he tagged with Impact wrestler Manik against Extreme Tiger (Impact’s Tigre Uno) and former WWE star Rey Mysterio. There are varied reports at this stage as to the official cause of death, but it looks to have happened as a result of severe whiplash. Perro and Mysterio were setting up for a 619 when a headscissors from Mysterio sent him to the outside instead of into the ropes for the 619. Perro quickly climbed back into the ring, took a dropkick, and landed against the second rope. It appears (but is not confirmed) that the ropes may have been too taught, and the force and angle at which he hit them were the cause of the injury. Former pro wrestler-turned-manager Konnan was at ringside and checked on Perro as the remaining three wrestlers did a few quick spots to end the match early. Medical staff were already on their way out at this point. Perro was rushed down the street to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. There is video available of the incident, however we will not be linking to it for what are hopefully quite obvious reasons."

"text": "History of Lucha Libre The History of Lucha Libre is intertwined with the history of Mexico, mass media, and entertainment in general. Its following, both in Mexico and other countries, has made it the most popular sport after soccer in a country of 100 million people, and an integral part of pop culture. Early Beginnings In the early 1900’s, Mexico was in the middle of a Revolution against the current dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. As with many times of war, the public looked for diversions to distract them from the every day realities of the fighting around them. Two Italian businessmen, Giovanni Reselevich y Antonio Fournier began promoting fights, in which opponents fought each other hand to hand, without weapons or protection. These fights were known as Lucha Libre, or ‘free fight’, and were notorious for their lack of regulations and violence inflicted upon the luchadores, or fighters. While common belief is that this fighting style was originally introduced by the French during the invasion of 1863, it wasn’t until this time when Reselevich and Fournier where developing a cross-town rivalry between their respective promotion companies, that Lucha Libre began to develop large followings throughout many parts of the country. Father of Lucha Libre In 1929, Salvador Lutteroth González, was working in the United States where he began attending professional wrestling matches in El Paso, Texas. It was there that he became fascinated with the sport, especially the colorful personalities of the wrestlers, and decided to bring the sport to his home country of Mexico. In 1933, together with partner Francisco Ahumada, González founded the Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) in Mexico City."

Spina bifida is a type of birth defect called a neural tube defect. It occurs when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) don't form properly around part of the baby's spinal cord. Spina bifida can be mild or severe. The mild form is the most common. It usually doesn't cause problems or need treatment. You can't see the defect, but some people may have a dimple, birthmark, or hairy patch on their back. Most people with this form don't know they have it until they get a back X-ray for another reason. A rare and more severe form is meningocele (say \"\"muh-NIN-juh-seel\"\"). In this form, fluid leaks out of the spine and pushes against the skin."

Spina bifida is among a group of birth defects called neural tube defects. When the fetus is developing, its central nervous system begins as a tube early in its life that eventually forms the brain, spinal cord, and the surrounding tissues. By the fetus' 28th day of life, this tube should be closed. But in children born with spina bifida, something, whether in the environment, the baby's genes, or both prevents this closure. Children with spina bifida have one of three forms of the defect, each varying in severity from mild to severe. These forms include spina bifida occulta, meningocele and myelomeningocele. Spina Bifida Occulta This is the mildest form of the defect. A small gap exists between the bones (one or more) of the spine. Most of the time, the spinal nerves are not involved, so children with this form of the defect have no symptoms, signs, or neurological (having to do with the nerves) problems."

Asphyxia can have negative effects on all of the organs, including the brain. Asphyxia can occur in the womb, during delivery, or immediately after birth. Lack of oxygen, depending on how severe it is and how long it lasts, can have profound consequences to the brain and the rest of the body. At the same time, most babies can withstand a short period without oxygen without negative short or long-term effects. Most commonly, these short periods occur during labour and delivery or immediately following birth. During pregnancy, some women develop high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia, or high blood pressure accompanied by a rapid swelling of the mother’s face, feet and hands. At times, pre-eclampsia can interfere with oxygen delivery to the fetus. If these types of events are of a short duration, the fetus will not likely face lasting damage. However, if these problems occur over a longer period of time, the baby’s brain may be damaged."

The most severe form is called myelomeningocele. Most children with this birth defect survive, but they can be left with many disabilities, including paralysis, difficulty with bowel and bladder control, a Chiari II malformation, hydrocephalus (excessive fluid in the brain), and developmental delay. In general, the higher the spinal opening occurs on the back, the greater the physical impairment. Treatment for Myelomeningocele Infants with myelomeningocele have always had surgery shortly after birth to protect the spinal cord by closing the normal tissues of the back. Very often, a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was also placed to treat hydrocephalus. Due to the success of the MOMS Study, fetal surgery is now considered to be a treatment option for some cases of myelomeningocele.

To help prevent NTDs, take a vitamin supplement that has 400 micrograms of folic acid in it every day, even if you’re not trying to get pregnant. If you’re at high risk for NTDs, take 4,000 micrograms of folic acid every day. Talk to your provider about how to safely get this much. You’re at high risk for NTDs if you’ve had a baby with an NTD or you, your partner or your family members have an NTD. Folic acid helps prevent NTDs only if you take it before and in the first weeks of pregnancy. What are neural tube defects?

"text": "Description Spina bifida is a condition in which the neural tube, a layer of cells that ultimately develops into the brain and spinal cord, fails to close completely during the first few weeks of embryonic development. As a result, when the spine forms, the bones of the spinal column do not close completely around the developing nerves of the spinal cord. Part of the spinal cord may stick out through an opening in the spine, leading to permanent nerve damage. Because spina bifida is caused by abnormalities of the neural tube, it is classified as a neural tube defect. Children born with spina bifida often have a fluid-filled sac on their back that is covered by skin, called a meningocele. If the sac contains part of the spinal cord and its protective covering, it is known as a myelomeningocele. The signs and symptoms of these abnormalities range from mild to severe, depending on where the opening in the spinal column is located and how much of the spinal cord is affected. Related problems can include a loss of feeling below the level of the opening, weakness or paralysis of the feet or legs, and problems with bladder and bowel control. Some affected individuals have additional complications, including a buildup of excess fluid around the brain (hydrocephalus) and learning problems. With surgery and other forms of treatment, many people with spina bifida live into adulthood."

Author: Richard G Ellenbogen, MD, Chief, Division of Pediatric Neurological Surgery, Children's Hospital of Seattle; Theodore S Roberts Endowed Chair, Associate Professor, Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Washington School of Medicine What is Spina Bifida The 2 major types of defects seen with spina bifida cystica are myelomeningoceles and meningoceles. Cervical and thoracic regions are the least common sites, and lumbar and lumbosacral regions are the most common sites for these lesions. Myelomeningocele is a condition in which the spinal cord and nerve roots herniate into a sac comprising the meninges. This sac protrudes through the bone and musculocutaneous defect. The spinal cord often ends in this sac in which it is splayed open, exposing the central canal. The splayed open neural structure is called the neural placode. This type of NTD is the subject of most of this article. Certain neurologic anomalies, such as hydrocephalus and Chiari II malformation (discussed later in this article), accompany myelomeningocele. In addition, myelomeningoceles have a higher incidence of associated intestinal, cardiac, and esophageal malformations, as well as renal and urogenital anomalies."

Answer by Left Coast Mom Confidence votes 22.1KThe characteristics of SB depend on the severity, but run the gamut, occulta does not cause neurological problems such as paralysis or weakness and has no noticeable defect. Most individuals with spina bifida will have differences in the development of the brain itself. In those with spina bifida, the brain is usually positioned further down into the upper spinal column than it should be. This change in position is part of a condition called the Chiari II malformation. The brain tissue displaced into the upper spinal canal blocks the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid, also known as CSF. This leads to a build-up of fluid within the cavities or \"\"ventricles\"\" of the brain. This condition is called hydrocephalus, requiring a shunt to be placed in the brain to allow excess fluid to drain and prevent further damage. Spina Bifida Cystica, a cyst protrudes through the defect in the vertebral arch. These conditions can be diagnosed in utero on the basis of elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein after amniocentesis and by ultrasound imaging."

The causes of spina bifida include genetic factors and environmental factors. Unlike other genetic disorders, spina bifida occurs without any prior family history of the condition. Rather, it is the combination of the parents’ genes and environmental factors that cause the condition. Once a child is born into the family with an open neural tube defect (ONTD) like spina bifida, they have a 4% increased risk of an ONTD defect in the next child. Some of the environmental causes of spina bifida include the following: Obesity Uncontrolled diabetes in the mother Certain prescription medications The lack of Folic acid.

If your newborn’s spine didn’t develop correctly, an abnormal opening may be present and this operation may be necessary. This procedure may also be performed if a small, swollen sac or cyst protrudes from the newborn’s spinal column. The procedure usually takes place within 12 to 48 hours of a baby’s birth. During the procedure, the surgeon will drain the excess spinal fluid from the sac, close the opening, and repair the area of the defect. This will allow the child to grow and develop normally. Purpose Who Needs A Meningocele Repair? Newborns diagnosed with a birth defect called spina bifida may need this operation. These babies experience a defect in the formation of the spine.

"text": "What is spina bifida? En Español »Spina bifida is a birth defect in which an area of the spinal column doesn’t form properly, leaving a section of the spinal cord and spinal nerves exposed through an opening in the back. Spina bifida occurs in 1 per 2,000 live births in the United States and is the most common central nervous system birth defect. Around 1,500 babies are born with spina bifida in the U. S. each year. The most common and serious form of spina bifida is called myelomeningocele (my•e•lo•me•nin•go•cele) (MMC), in which part of the spinal cord and surrounding nerves push through the open bones (vertebrae) in the spine and protrude from the fetus’ back. Usually, the exposed spinal cord and nerves are contained in a sac that is exposed to amniotic fluid. Continuous bathing of the fragile developing spinal cord in amniotic fluid over the course of gestation is thought to result in progressive neurologic injury. Until recently, spina bifida treatment was relegated to post-birth surgery after damage from continuous exposure to amniotic fluid was already made. Other types of spina bifida include myeloschisis, lipomeningocele and myelocystocele. Open neural tube defects such as myelomeningocele and myeloschisis are treatable by fetal repair."

A neural tube defect is a problem with the spinal cord, brain and/or their protective coverings caused by the fetus spine failing to close completely during the first month of pregnancy. This spinal opening can result in nerve damage and spinal cord defects. Within 24 hours after birth, surgery to close the newborns spinal opening is normally performed, but the nerve damage is permanent. This nerve damage can cause paralysis of the legs, learning disabilities, bowel problems or an accumulation of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus). There is no cure for spina bifida. Treatments include surgery, medication and physiotherapy and depend on the complications related to nerve damage. Taking folic acid can help you reduce the risk of having a baby with spina bifida.

The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect. There is some liquifying of the dye. Since then, the process is sometimes known as dye-diffusion, though this has not eliminated the original name. [ 1] Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more. These are not to be confused with dye sublimation heat transfer imprinting printers, which use special inks to create transfers designed to be imprinted on textiles, and in which the dyes do indeed sublimate.

"text": "\"Phase transition is when a substance changes from a solid, liquid, or gas state to a different state. Every element and substance can transition from one phase to another at a specific combination of temperature and pressure. Phase Changes Each substance has three phases it can change into; solid, liquid, or gas (1). Every substance is in one of these three phases at certain temperatures. The temperature and pressure at which the substance will change is very dependent on the intermolecular forces that are acting on the molecules and atoms of the substance (2) . There can be two phases coexisting in a single container at the same time. This typically happens when the substance is transitioning from one phase to another. This is called a two-phase state (4). In the example of ice melting, while the ice is melting, there is both solid water and liquid water in the cup. There are six ways a substance can change between these three phases; melting, freezing, evaporating, condensing, sublimination, and deposition (2)."

There are four states, or phases, of matter: Solid Liquid Gas Plasma We will not be discussing the plasma state here. When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. For example, ice melts and becomes water; water evaporates and becomes water vapor. These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not. Here are the five changes of phase. They are diagrammed in the opening animation and listed below.

"text": "Solar radiation (sunlight) carries energy to the glacier surface. A portion of the solar radiation is absorbed, and the rest is reflected. The portion reflected (called the albedo) is affected by precipitation and ablation, because fresh snow is more reflective than old snow or ablating ice. In fact, according to [Moelg and Hardy, 2004] precipitation aids net accumulation much more through the albedo affect, which reduces ablation, than through the mass added directly by snowfall. This means that precipitation effects are dependent on precipitation frequency as well as annual amount. Unfortunately, proxy data such as lake level, only give information about what the precipitation amount was in the past, and not about how it was distributed through the year. In the Tropics, the seasonality of the solar radiation incident on the atmosphere is weak. At the Equator it has a peak-to-trough variation of only 13% of its mean value. The variation rises modestly to 29% at 15 degrees of latitude North or South of the Equator. Upward infrared radiation carries energy away from the surface at a rate which is proportional to the fourth power of the glacier surface temperature."

"text": "\"Heat Transfer Principle The driving force for atmospheric motion is the sun and, in particular, the uneven distribution of solar radiation across the earth. It is the primary job of the atmosphere to redistribute energy in order to achieve a balance from pole to equator. We need to understand methods of heat exchange in the atmosphere to appreciate how the thin atmosphere keeps us alive. Energy Energy is the ability or capacity to do work on some form of matter. There are several forms of energy, including the following: Potential energy is the energy which a body possesses as a consequence of its position in a gravitational field (e.g., water behind a dam). Kinetic energy is the energy which a body possesses as a consequence of its motion (e.g., wind blowing across a wind generator). It is dependent upon an object's mass and velocity (e.g., moving water versus moving air). Internal energy is the total energy (potential and kinetic) stored in molecules. Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference."

The purpose of this last step is to generate a compound whose melting point is fixed and easily measured; Caffeine itself sublimes, making it difficult to characterize. Tea is an excellent source for Caffeine as the Caffeine can be steeped from the Tea Leaves with very few other interfering compounds. The Caffeine so isolated can then be extracted into an organic solvent and away from the Tannins that also steep from the Leaves. Once the organic solvent is stripped away, impure Caffeine remains. It can then be purified using sublimation. Some experts assert that the medical use of tea was reported as early as 2737 BC in the pharmacopeia of Shen Nung, an emperor of China. However, the first indisputable reference is from the Chinese dictionary of Kuo P'o, which appeared in 350 AD. The nonmedical use of tea appears to have spread slowly. Not until about 700 AD was tea widely cultivated in China."

"text": "Sublimation Printing - What is it, and what can it do for you? By Erich Campbell, on December 13th, 2012All-Over Sublimation at Black Duck, of Black Duck!You may have heard the term ‘sublimation’ going around lately. Some apparel decorators call it dye-sub, or dye sublimation printing, but no matter what you call it, sublimation printing is a versatile, digital printing method that opens up a world of opportunities to any consumer of decorated goods. So, what is sublimation? Well, simply put, sublimation is a process by which sublimation dyes are printed onto a transfer medium with a specially prepared inkjet printer. Thereafter, those dyes are then transferred from the medium to an object or garment under the heat and pressure delivered by a commercial heat press. Sublimation only works on garments made of polyester, or on specialty objects made of polyester or given a polyester coating. When the heat and pressure are applied, the dye on the transfer medium sublimates, or becomes a gas, and is then absorbed into the polyester itself; the print is actually a part of the garment/coating. It doesn’t fade easily, wear, or have any texture or weight. So, what does all of this mean to you, our customer?"

This heat energy that is absorbed or released is known as the latent heat, or latent enthalpy, because it is \"\"hidden\"\", that is, not causing a change in temperature which we could measure. Latent Heat of Fusion (latent enthalpy of fusion) is the heat absorbed per mole when a substance changes state from solid to liquid at constant temperature (melting point). Latent Heat of Vaporization or vaporisation (latent enthalpy of vaporisation) is the heat absorbed per mole when a substance changes state from liquid to gas at constant temperature (boiling point).

Eg, dry ice consists of solid carbon dioxide, which sublimes into carbon dioxide gas. Burning is a chemical reaction. Paper is made mostly of cellulose, and that cellulose breaks down in the heat to form smaller molecules which immediately vaporize (then react into other molecules, but that's more complexity than we need). The point is is that the molecules that form the paper actually break down, instead of just changing state. If something sublimes, you can turn it back into a solid by making it cold enough."

This strange behavior [ 15 ] (see right) has been determined from the variation in ice and water specific heat capacities (C p ). It is due to changes in the structuring of supercooled water. As the temperature is lowered from 0 °C the hydrogen-bond strength of ice increases due to the reduction in their vibrational energy and this gives rise to an increasing difference (as the temperature is lowered) between the enthalpy of the water and ice. At low temperatures (below about -17 °C) the continued shift, with lowering temperature, in the supercooled water CS ES equilibrium towards the ES structure reduces the enthalpy of the liquid water relative to the ice due to the consequent increase in hydrogen-bond strength and this causes the drop in the heat of fusion with lowering temperature. [ Anomalies page: Back to Top]T2 High specific heat capacity Water has the highest specific heat of all liquids except ammonia. The values for C V and C P are 4.1375 J g -1 K -1 and 4.1819 J g -1 K -1 at 25 °C respectively (compare C P pentane 1.66 J g -1 K -1 ). As water is heated, the increased movement of water causes the hydrogen bonds to bend and break. As the energy absorbed in these processes is not available to increase the kinetic energy of the water, it takes considerable heat to raise water's temperature. Also, as water is a light molecule there are more molecules per gram, than most similar molecules, to absorb this energy."

It is safe and it's done with dye-sublimation printing all the time. For Spandex and Lycra blends the temperature should be a little lower than regular polyester and you may need to pre-shrink the fabric before applying the print as some of these fabrics shrink a bit and you may get ghosting. What type of transfer media are you using? I do dye-sublimation printing on the fabrics you ask about and my settings are 195-200C for 60 sec for polyester and 180-190C for 60 sec for Lycra/Spandex-rich polyester or nylon, light pressure."

"text": "The fabric suitable for dye sublimation printing and the pros of this print technology. Question: Do fabrics need to be 100% polyester for dye sub printing? While you do need at least 60% polyester fabric to successfully dye sub print, it is better to use 100% polyester because you will attain a superior print if 100% of the fabric accepts the dye when it enters gas form and is inducted into the open polymer pores. What you may not know is how this process works and why polyester fabric is the best product for dye sublimation, whereas cotton, wool, and even nylon will not work for this type of printing. Starting with the dye, it is necessary to know that the dye is not the same type of ink as inkjet inks which use the CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) ink set, but instead, use a CMYO dye set (cyan-magenta-yellow-overprint clear) where the clear, when it is printed on the dye sublimation transfer paper, turns to black and transfers that way. Once the paper is printed, it is joined, print side to whichever type of material you are using, then put through a set of heated rollers. The heat must be in excess of 370º F (190ºC) to cause the dye to be converted into a gaseous form, and also to cause the polymer’s cells to open as they expand to accept the now gaseous dye into the cells. Once this process has taken place, the fabric cools, the cells close, and the color is permanently locked into the fabric in continuous tones of beautiful color, similar to a photograph’s tones. Without the cellular construction of the polyester fabric and it’s polymeric qualities, it would not be possible to print using dye sublimation. So, the more polymers, the better."

T-shirts became more popular in the 1950’s after Marlon Brandon wore one in “A Streetcar Named Desire” after finally achieving the status as fashionable and outer-wear garments. Printing is a process for reproducing images and text with ink on paper or cloth using a printing press. Printings are often carried out as a large scale industrial process and are an essential part of the transaction and publishing printing. The world’s first movable type of printing technology was developed and invented in China. The first movable type of printing is called the woodblock printing. Later developments with advanced technology in printing include the movable type that was first developed in China and the printing press was a more efficient printing process for western languages with their more limited alphabets that was developed by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15 century. Printing press is a device that applies pressure to a print medium that rests on an inked surface made of movable type thereby transferring the ink. This invention and spread of printing press are widely regarded as the most influential events in the second millennium revolutionizing the way people describe and conceive the world they live in as well as ushering in the period of modernity."

"text": "\"NFLHow Much Were 2013 NFL Starting Quarterbacks Really Worth? Tyler Brooke January 23, 2014Justin Edmonds/Getty Images There isn't a more glamorous position in all of professional sports than the quarterback in the NFL. Quarterbacks are the faces of their respective franchises. They're the ones that everyone watches when the games are on. If they win, they're considered heroes, but if they lose, fans will go so far as to burn their jerseys in public. While all NFL players are paid quite well, quarterbacks are the ones that make the big bucks. While it's easy to quantify how much these players make, it's harder to determine how much they're actually worth, both on and off the field. So, how much are NFL quarterbacks really worth? Should Peyton Manning really be making more than $17 million? Should players like Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck be earning more?"

"text": "\"Beware of Direct Transfer Designations - TOD's, POD's and Simple Beneficiary Designations By Monty L. Donohew, J. D. | Submitted On February 03, 20102 1Direct transfer designations, like POD's (payable on death designations) and TOD's (transfer on death designations), and simple beneficiary designations, are mechanisms by which an account or other asset is transferred or paid upon the death of the account holder or asset owner to a beneficiary. They are often recommended by the administrator of the account, such as a bank, broker or life insurance company. While these can be very effective and inexpensive means by which to avoid probate and transfer assets at death, they are not without their risks and challenges. A lack of careful consideration of the risks and rewards of these mechanisms can be disastrous. A carefully prepared estate plan will consider, and resolve, all of the risks and challenges of these mechanisms. Benefits of Direct Transfer Designations Direct transfer designations, such as POD's and TOD's have several benefits. The most important benefits are that they are cheap and easy. Most institutions will permit you to make such designations as a service, for no additional fee. They are simple to create, and there is no need for an attorney or other professional. Most of these designations are made by account owners without legal or professional advice or counsel."

"text": "\"he main focus of Adam Smith 's The Wealth of Nations lies in the concept of economic growth. Growth, according to Smith, is rooted in the increasing division of labor. This idea relates primarily to the specialization of the labor force, essentially the breaking down of large jobs into many tiny components. Under this regime each worker becomes an expert in one isolated area of production, thus increasing his efficiency. The fact that laborers do not have to switch tasks during the day further saves time and money. Of course, this is exactly what allowed Victorian factories to grow throughout the nineteenth century. Assembly line technology made it necessary for a worker to focus his or her attention on one small part of the production process. Surprisingly, Smith recognized the potential problems of this development. He pointed out that forcing individuals to perform mundane and repetitious tasks would lead to an ignorant, dissatisfied work force. For this reason he advanced the revolutionary belief that governments had an obligation to provide education to workers."

"text": "Editor's Picks List16 Black Celebrities With a Collective Net Worth of Over $10BBy Leo - September 10, 2013 4227575tweet Black celebrities, like black people in general, still have a long way to go to achieve economic parity with their white counter parts. However, there are a select few who are doing quite well for themselves. The following is a list of black celebrities whose net worth is, in total, over $10 billion. Hopefully these affluent celebrities use their money and influence to move us forward. Will Smith The Smith family is Hollywood royalty, and although his kids are fast becoming popular in the music and film industries, Will Smith is still the breadwinner in his house. Worth about $200 million, Will is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, and he still gets a ton of money from his Fresh Prince Of Bel Air show that aired in the ’90s. Russell Simmons Founder of the most successful rap music label of all time, Def Jam, Russell Simmons has been rewarded handsomely with a net worth of $325 million. In recent years, Russell has been more focused on social activism and promoting ethnic diversity.

They also occur in crude oil in concentrations of about 0.5–1%, depending on the source. Small quantities occur in gasoline and aircraft fuels. Xylenes are produced mainly as part of the BTX aromatics ( benzene, toluene, and xylenes) extracted from the product of catalytic reforming known as reformate. The xylene mixture is a slightly greasy, colorless liquid commonly encountered as a solvent. Several million tons are produced annually. ["

"text": "\"Why Bakken Oil Explodes The perils of a particular petroleum, explained. Screen shot of BBC footage of ND oil train explosion. Facebook Twitter Google+ Print Email Author: Eric de Place and John Abbotts ( @Eric_de P) on January 21, 2014 at 10:30 am This article is part of the series Oil Train Explosions and Derailments In early January, a federal agency alert made clear what many already knew: that crude oil from the Bakken formation is more prone to explosion than other types of crude oil. The warning came after tank cars carrying Bakken oil exploded in three separate railroad accidents in Alabama, North Dakota, and Quebec. It’s a worrisome finding for the hundreds of communities that host loaded oil trains every week. Let’s take a closer look at some particular issues with Bakken oil. What’s different about Bakken oil? Bakken oil is a type of “light sweet crude,” a relatively high quality oil that is easier to refine into commercial products, but also easier to ignite. A few decades ago, light-sweet crude was the dominant oil type in the US. Light oil is by no means new to the industry, but the recent boom in oil extraction in the Bakken and similar deposits elsewhere does represent a new and unexpected development for the industry."

"text": "Food & Drink Other - Food & Drink What is vegetable oil made from?2 following 19 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: veg?♥ღ♥yorkshire lass♥ღ♥ · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment The most common vegetable oil is soy oil, because it's the cheapest. The soybean is crushed, and the oil is extracted from the soybean using xylene, a chemical very similar to gasoline. The stuff is heated up, and the xylene is driven off, leaving crude soy oil. Then caustic soda - the active ingredient in Drano - is added to the oil, so that free fatty acids will turn into soap. Water is added to the oil, and then the stuff goes through a centrifuge, basically skimming off the oil in much the same process that cream is separated from whole milk. The oil is heated to about 450F under vacuum, and water is introduced, sparging the oil. The steam that is produced is condensed, and it contains the pesticides and herbicides that were applied to the soybeans, or that were in the soil, remains from a previous crop grown on the same soil. The oil is cooled, and at that point it's considered edible vegetable oil. Most of the human race does not digest soy well. We grew a lot of soybeans when I was growing up, and I worked for a while, doing research on fats and oils for Central Soya."

"title": "http://www.chemmasters.net/Sealer_Bubbling.php\nThe Sealer is Bubbling",
"text": "The Sealer is Bubbling There are three common scenarios that cause bubbles to form: Concrete is a porous material, and exterior concrete usually contains a meaningful amount of air. When a new coat of sealer is applied to concrete when surface temperatures are rising, it is possible for the expanding air to blow bubbles in the sealer. When applying the sealer with a roller, it is possible for an overly vigorous application to entrap air in the sealer; a common occurrence when using a long nap roller. The third, and most common cause of bubbling, is over application. Remember that acrylic sealers are composed of solvents and acrylics (plastics). During application, the job of the solvents is to distribute the acrylic evenly across a concrete surface, and then evaporate into the atmosphere; leaving behind an acrylic film (the acrylic film protects the concrete). If too much product is applied, the solvents may become trapped underneath a drying acrylic film. Unable to freely evaporate, these solvents eventually turn to a gaseous state and subsequently create bubbles in the acrylic film (this is commonly referred to as “skinning over”). Naturally, this happens most often when an acrylic sealer is applied at high temperatures as the acrylic surface dries more quickly. In addition to forming bubbles in the acrylic film, over application can also create a “milky” or “whitened” appearance underneath the acrylic film, commonly known as “blushing.”"

"text": "Cleaning Microscope Lenses The best way to avoid having to clean the lenses on your microscope is to use it carefully and keep it covered when not in use. If a lens gets dirty or gummed up, here's what you should do. Most microscope specialists say the less cleaning of a microscope lens, the better. Eventually, the time will come when you will have to give them a good cleaning. Below are some tips on how to correctly do this. First, try to locate the dirt. Is it on the eyepiece lens or objective lens? If you see a spot when looking in the microscope and you see it at all powers it's probably on the outside of the eyepiece lens. If your eyepiece lens turns, turn it and see if the spot moves as well. If so, the dirt is on the eyepiece lens (if not, the dirt is internal and you should probably have it cleaned by a professional)."

"text": "\"Getty Images New research shows these common house plants all absorb harmful chemicals. Amanda Mac Millan August 24, 2016Want to clear the air in your home or workplace? Get some greens, says research presented today at the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting. But not just any greens: The new study looked at five common house plants and found that when it comes to removing harmful chemicals from the air, some are better than others. Indoor air pollution is a common and important threat to human health, according to researchers from the State University of New York Oswego, and can even lead to symptoms of \"\"sick-building syndrome,\"\" such as headache and fatigue. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted as gasses from cigarette smoke, paints, furniture, copiers and printers, cleaning supplies, and dry-cleaned clothes, are often to blame. \"\" Buildings, whether new or old, can have high levels of VOCs in them, sometimes so high that you can smell them,\"\" says Vadoud Niri, Ph D, an assistant professor of chemistry who led the new study. Inhaling large amounts of VOCs can cause short- and long-term health problems, he adds, including dizziness, asthma, and allergies. RELATED: The 10 Worst Plants for Your Allergies Installing ventilation systems or other high-tech solutions can help remove VOCs from indoor environments—but they can be expensive, and Niri wanted to find a cheaper, simpler way to improve air quality. So he turned to plants, which take in carbon dioxide through their roots and leaves."

"text": "Brain Research Volume 946, Issue 1, 9 August 2002, Pages 72-78Research report Effect of KW-7158, a putative afferent nerve inhibitor, on bladder and vesico-vascular reflexes in rats Shing-Hwa Lu a c Tsuyoshi Yamagata b Kaoru Atsuki b Lushen Sun a Christopher P Smith d Naoki Yoshimura d Michael B Chancellor d William C de Groat a Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0006-8993 (02)02828-7 Get rights and content Abstract The effects of KW-7158, a putative afferent nerve inhibitor, on reflex bladder activity and vesico-vascular reflexes were evaluated in urethane anesthetized SD rats with normal and xylene-irritated bladders. The bladder was filled with saline until the appearance of large amplitude spontaneous bladder contractions (LA-BC). Vesico-vascular reflexes were measured as increases in systolic arterial blood pressure during LA-BC or when the bladder was distended by a range of pressures. In normal rats, KW-7158 (10 and 100 μg/kg, i.v.) did not alter the amplitude or volume threshold for inducing LA-BC but increased the intercontraction interval. After xylene-irritation, which decreased volume threshold and intercontraction interval and induced small amplitude bladder contractions, KW-7158 increased volume threshold (65%) and intercontraction interval (150%) and decreased the number of small amplitude bladder contractions. Vesico-vascular reflexes induced during LA-BC or by bladder distension were suppressed (19.4–100%) by KW-7158. The effect of KW-7158 to depress vesico-vascular reflexes as well as xylene-induced bladder hyperactivity without altering the amplitude of contractions is consistent with the view that the drug affects reflex bladder activity at least in part by depressing afferent pathways. Previous article Next article Endocrine and autonomic regulation Gastrointestinal and urogenital regulation Keywords Afferent pathway Bladder reflex Inhibition Rat1. Introduction Bladder afferent pathways are a potential target for pharmacological treatment of autonomic dysreflexia as well as for bladder hyperreflexia and incontinence [12,13,25]. Intravesical administration of C-fiber afferent neurotoxins, capsaicin or resiniferatoxin (RTX), reduced autonomic dysreflexia as well as detrusor hyperreflexia in patients with spinal cord diseases [3,6,9,12,13]. These observations suggest that capsaicin-sensitive C-fiber afferent nerves in the bladder may be involved in these disorders."

"text": "1 Aloe Plant Shutterstock The gel of the aloe plant has a number of healing properties. Not only does it soothe skin burns and cuts, it can also help to monitor the air quality in your home. The plant can help clear the air of pollutants found in chemical cleaning products, and when the amount of harmful chemicals in the air becomes excessive, the plants’ leaves will display brown spots. Just an FYI: It grows best with lots of sun.2 English Ivy Alamy NASA scientists listed the English ivy as the number one best air-filtering houseplant, as it is the most effective plant when it comes to absorbing formaldehyde. It’s also incredibly easy to grow and adaptable — try it as a hanging or a floor plant. Grow in moderate temperatures and medium sunlight.3 Rubber Tree Flickr: bobdole369Rubber trees are good for cleaning the air and are one of the easiest plants to grow, as they thrive even in dim lighting and cooler climates. The low-maintenance plant is a powerful toxin eliminator and air purifier.4 Peace Lily Flickr: Fortinbras The beautiful peace lily plant is a wonderful low-maintenance flower to keep in the home. Peace lilies do well in shade and cooler temperatures, and they can reduce the levels of a number of toxins in the air.5 Snake Plant Flick: Uncle Vinny Snake plants don’t need much light or water to survive, so they’re an easy choice for any corner of your home. The plant absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen during the night (while most plants do so during the day), so add one to your bedroom for a clean-air boost.6 Bamboo Palm Flickr: notmargaret The attractive bamboo palm also made NASA’s list of top clean-air plants with a purifying score of 8.4. It’s also particularly effective at clearing out benzene and trichloroethylene."

Unfortunately it is almost impossible to totally remove chloramines (combined chlorine), which forms as a result of the ammonia and urea from swimmers bodies combining with the chlorine residual in the water. Chloramines will off gas from the pool surface and can adhere to metal surfaces around the pool and on the ceiling; they have an almost zero p H which makes them highly corrosive. The need for on-going use of pool chemicals also can cause corrosion of metal around pools, in the mechanical room where off-gassing of chlorine and Muriatic Acid can cause damage to all metals.

"text": "What is DNA Fingerprinting? DNA Fingerprinting is a procedure whereby the genetic information, called DNA, in a person's cells is analysed and identified. The word fingerprinting is used because, just like a fingerprint, no two person's genetic code is exactly the same. This makes DNA fingerprinting a very useful tool for our modern society. It can be used to: Determine Family Relationship - DNA can help find out who a person's parents or siblings are. Prenatal paternity tests are available to mothers who need to identify the father of their unborn babies. Detect Inherited Diseases - Your genetic code can be tested to determine your likelihood of getting certain diseases. Prove Guilt or Innocence - DNA left at the scene of a crime can be matched with a sample from a suspect. Identify a Dead Body - The DNA from an unidentified body can be matched with a person in a government DNA database. How are samples obtained for use in DNA Fingerprinting?"

Naturally occurring DNA molecules are long and contain many genes, it provides a means to produce large quantities of protein product, and it provides a means to produce many copies of a gene in a short period of time. What are advantages to using BAC's rather than historically used plasmids or phages for generating a genomic library? They carry DNA fragments much larger than plasmids or phages minimizing the amount of clones needed, and their use reduces the frequency with which specific genes will be cut and divided.

"text": "DNA fingerprinting is a way of identifying a specific individual, rather than simply identifying a species or some particular trait. It is also known as genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling. As a technology, it has been around since at least 1985, when it was announced by its inventor, Sir Alec Jeffreys. DNA fingerprinting is currently used both for identifying paternity or maternity and for identifying criminals or victims. There is discussion of using DNA fingerprinting as a sort of personal identifier as well, although the viability of this is debatable. The vast majority of a human's DNA will match exactly that of any other human, making distinguishing between two people rather difficult. DNA fingerprinting uses a specific type of DNA sequence, known as a microsatellite, to make identification much easier. Microsatellites are short pieces of DNA which repeat many times in a given person's DNA. In a given area, microsatellites tend to be highly variable, making them ideal for DNA fingerprinting. By comparing a number of microsatellites in a given area, one can identify a person relatively easily."

"text": "1 | 2 | 3 | 4LESSON TWOONE PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDSDNA fingerprinting is used routinely today in criminal cases. The process involves analyzing the suspect's DNA and comparing it to the DNA of the criminal from a sample left at the crime scene. The analysis requires the DNA to be cut up with restriction enzymes and then analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis, which separates DNA pieces based on size. The DNA appears as bands on the gel. The sample from an individual looks similar to the bar codes supermarkets use to scan for prices. Since no two people have the same DNA, the pattern will be unique for each individual. If the pattern of the accused matches the pattern from the sample left at the scene of the crime, then the sample must belong to the suspect. Consider the following example. Two robbers broke into an electronics shop late one night and stole equipment and cash. They were careful to wear gloves and not leave any traditional fingerprints."

"text": "A DNA fingerprint is the same thing as DNA testing, DNA typing, DNA profiling, DNA analysis and genetic fingerprinting. It refers to identification of an individual based on his or her DNA profile. One of the most important uses of this technique is in forensic science, and this is widely known due to its prominent use in police procedurals. In 1985, Dr. Alec Jeffreys, and English geneticist, became the first to describe DNA fingerprinting when he worked out a technique to examine variations in DNA repeat sequences that allowed identity tests to be performed on human subjects. The repeated sections are called variable number of tandem repeats or VNTRs and the technique that Dr. Jeffreys developed was called RFLP because it used restriction fragment length polymorphism. The first court cases in which Dr. Jeffreys' methodology was used in were English case involving immigration and a double homicide, which it helped solve. In DNA sample processing in forensic labs in the US, smaller versions of VNTRs, called STR markers are used. The DNA is copied using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the sample is then genotyped. Combining individual STR genotypes yields the DNA profile or fingerprint. It can then be compared to other samples that are known reference samples from people such as the victim and identified suspects."

"text": "\"DNA from Fingerprints By Julie Heinig, Ph. D. March 25, 2007DNA technology is increasingly used as one of the most effective forensic tools to exonerate or convict suspects in criminal cases. Advances in forensic DNA technology in recent years has allowed analysts to extract DNA from evidence without any visible stains. For example, it is possible to obtain a DNA profile from a baseball cap left at the scene of a crime and match it to a suspect who swore he was never there. Not only can we get DNA from a bloodstain on a knife and match it to a victim, but we can also swab the handle and get the DNA profile from the suspect who committed the crime. Due to good collection techniques and PCR (amplification of DNA) commercial technology, the likelihood of getting DNA from the inside of a glove or the handle of the weapon is much better now than it ever used to be. The question often asked is, “Can we get DNA from a single fingerprint?”To answer this question, consider this: when people touch things, they may leave behind DNA from cells sloughed off upon contact. How many cells are sloughed off depends on various factors, including how much they sweat. A number of scientific investigators have observed that DNA can be obtained from a wide array of fingerprints, but not all fingerprints give DNA profiles. The amount of DNA associated with a fingerprint will vary from person to person and can vary within the same person."

The preparation of restriction fragments, say there was a crime scene and there are three suspects and you're trying to find the killer from hair or semen samples found at the crime scene... so you collect hair (or semen, whatever you've got) samples from all three suspects, labelled A, B and C. And they are treated with restriction enzymes, hence fragments are produced. These are called restriction fragments length polymorphisms, or RFLPs. 2. Gel electrophonesis - in this step, the mixtures of restriction enzymes from the three samples are separated and each sample forms a pattern of bands. 3. Southern blotting - this basically involves an alkaline solution being pulled upward by capillary action, then the DNA fragments are transferred from the gel to a paper exactly the same positions as they were on the gel. And the alkaline solution also unwinds (or \"\"denatures\"\" is a good word) the DNA into a single strand. 4."

"text": "\"DNA Fingerprinting An individual's entire DNA sequence is composed of over 3 billion nucleotides,. Although the sequence is about 99.9% the same as other humans, the remaining 0.1% about 3 million nucleotides is unique to that individual. As a result, with the exception of identical twins, who have identical DNA sequences, no human ever has exactly the same DNA as another one. This genetic distinctiveness can be a powerful tool in identifying persons, in much the same way as a person's unique fingerprint. Because nearly every cell in a person's body contains the same complete set of DNA, DNA isolated from dried blood, semen, or even a hair found at a crime scene can be compared to a DNA sample collected from a suspect and can prove whether he or she was present at the crime scene in much the same way as a person's normal fingerprints. Guy Paul Morin of Ontario, Canada, who was wrongfully convicted of murder, was exonerated through DNA testing over 10 years later. Using a procedure which quickly makes copies of DNA called the Polymerase Chain Reaction (or PCR), DNA analysis can be performed on minute amounts of tissue. This makes it harder for a criminal to remove all the evidence from the scene of a crime. DNA fingerprinting can also be used in paternity testing to identify a child's biological parents, or in the wake of major accidents, disasters, or wars to identify those who have died. This powerful technology is not only useful in humans."

The Dex Nav level caps at 999. Once you catch a pokemon once, you can then encounter them using the Dex Nav, this works for every pokemon available on that route through any means (fishing, walking, surfing). They will always appear as a moving spot. In grass they will stay stationary, in caves and water, they will move around a lot.153 comments share save hide reportall 153 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?"

"text": "\"7 Days on Craigslist's Casual Encounters Share Share By Samuel Axon Aug 03, 2010Many people use Craigslist to find roommates, cheap furniture, used cars or part-time jobs. But there's another function: Sex. I decided to dive into Craigslist's \"\"Casual Encounters\"\" — a section made for no-strings hookups — to see if any of what I assumed about that virtual place was true. Is it populated entirely by perverted sexual deviants, serial killers, prostitutes and scammers as rumors insist? Or can two regular people really make the connection that the section's name suggests? I should admit that I had no intention to actually hook up with someone, should the opportunity arise, if for no other reason than it would be inappropriate and manipulative to an unwitting partner to do so and write about it. But it's not a stretch to say that even if you abstain from the goal, spending a week on Casual Encounters can teach you a lot about human beings and how the web has changed how we pursue one of our most essential and important desires. It goes without saying that the content of this article is not intended for children or those made uncomfortable by such topics. But if you're interested, read on for the story of my seven days on Craigslist's Casual Encounters — my failures, near misses, discoveries, insights and successes. Following that, I interviewed two women to learn how they used the site successfully for their own fulfillment."

Cindy Hughes, CPC, CFPCFam Pract Manag. 2014 Jul-Aug;21 (4): OA1-OA4. Author disclosure: no relevant financial affiliations disclosed. You have no doubt heard about the eight-fold increase in diagnosis codes included in the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10, but that is not the whole story. You'll be relieved to know that, for some encounters and services, ICD-10 offers fewer or the same number of codes. Codes related to preventive services are examples of this. This article will focus on how to select ICD-10 codes for immunizations, routine health exams, and common preventive screenings. These are Z codes found in Chapter 21 of the ICD-10 code book. Although the ICD-10 preventive codes are fairly straightforward, preventive coding can still be complicated, of course, in part because of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)."

"text": "\"Photo by American Stock/Getty Images The “talented tenth”. That's who W. E. B. Du Bois thought would make the difference for black people of the United States. The success of writers, poets and musicians in the Harlem Renaissance did much to support his theory. Booker T. Washington, meanwhile, was convinced that gradual betterment of circumstance could be achieved through self-improvement and co-operation, and consequently founded the Tuskegee Institute to teach practical skills to African Americans. Boxer Jack Johnson couldn't give a damn for the perception of the black community, he knew exactly what he was, how much he was worth, and how he could prove it. The American dream had been built on the bleeding backs of slave labor, but Johnson—The Galveston Giant—built his own American dream with his wits and with his fists. Simple Beginnings For all the talk of hunger in the world of fighting, Johnson was not a desperate man. Johnson never suffered because of his race in his hometown of Galveston, Texas, and fell into boxing through his love of fighting and his distaste for any other form of labor. Johnson went through periods of work on docks and in stables, but the only thing he enjoyed (aside from drinking, gambling, and whoring) was fighting. Johnson got his start as a boxer in back alleys and bar rooms, just like any other of the age."

In 1803, U. S. President Thomas Jefferson created the Corps of Discovery and commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition into the American Northwest. Starting out in 1804, Lewis and Clark led an arduous expedition from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean for a total journey of 3,700 miles on man-powered boats, horseback and foot. They faced many obstacles on their journey including bad weather, difficult terrain and dangerous encounters with some Native American tribes. Geographical Obstacles One of Jefferson’s goals with the expedition was to find a northwest water route to the Pacific Ocean. According to Al Bredenberg of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Jefferson had expected that the Corps of Discovery would find a short and easy passage to the Pacific after leaving the Missouri. But instead the explorers had to endure a series of hardships, such as making their way along the Lolo Trail through the Bitterroot Mountains. The crossing of the Lolo Trail took 11 days and the travelers nearly starved. The expedition had to carry their boats in a process called portaging; they were only able to cover 4 to 5 miles a day."

"text": "Take the patient’s perspective when appending theseventh character in ICD-10-CM. By Debra Mitchell, MSPH, CPC-HA diagnosis is meant to describe the patient at a particular encounter. That may sound obvious, but it’s a fact with important implications. As we move toward ICD-10 implementation, remember that the new code set requires us to append a seventh character for injuries and most external cause reporting. The seventh character indicates: A – Initial encounter D – Subsequent encounter S – Sequela Put Yourself in the Patient’s Shoes A, D, and S usually represent the diagnosis from the patient’s perspective. If the visit is a patient’s initial encounter for active treatment of the injury, it’s always an initial encounter. Has the patient previously received active treatment for this condition? If so, it may be a subsequent encounter—with exceptions, discussed below. “Initial” Is a Subtle Concept in ICD-10There is a wrinkle: The ICD-10-CM definition of initial is more complicated than the usual understanding of the word. Specifically, guidelines state that a seventh character A is “used for the initial encounter for the injury or condition while the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury."

[ 2] [3] The centerpiece of the park is a large representation of Noah's Ark as it is described in the Genesis flood narrative contained in the Bible. It is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high. Ark Encounter is operated by Answers in Genesis (Ai G), a young Earth creationist organization that also operates the Creation Museum 45 miles (70 km) away in Petersburg, Kentucky. [ 2] The theme park promotes factually incorrect creationist beliefs about the age of the universe, age of the Earth, and co-existence of man and dinosaurs which has led to criticism leveled against the park for promoting young Earth creationism. [ 3] [4] [5] [6]After feasibility studies projected that the park would be a boon to the state's tourism industry, the Ark Encounter received tax incentives from the city, county, and state to induce its construction. This drew criticism from groups concerned with the separation of church and state. [ 7] A dispute over Ai G's hiring practices was adjudicated in U. S. federal court, which found in 2016 that the organization could require Ark Encounter employees to sign a statement of faith as a condition of their employment, prompting criticism of the park's discriminatory hiring practices.

"text": "“It's So Touching”: Emotional Value in Distal Contact Charles Lenay UTC / COSTECH, Compiègne, France How can interpersonal « contacts » allow for a « touching » relationship at a distance? To answer this question, we try to understand the reasons for the pre-eminence of the tactile modality in descriptions of emotional exchanges. With the help of an original experimental setup, we will propose a description of the essential conditions for “contact” mediated by technical devices. Next, in order to understand the relationship between such contact and emotional values, we will construe emotion as being the product of a force that instigates movement. We will then show that the “force” which is transmitted in touching contacts is based in the duality of the perceiving body and the body image. The fact that the subject is ignorant of his own body-image is revealed by the breaking of perceptual symmetry on the occasion of a touching encounter. These results provide some guiding principles for the design of interfaces and structures of interaction that allow for emotional contacts across networks. Keywords – Contact, Emotion, Perceptual Crossing, Touch, Interaction Design. Relevance to Design Practice – The analysis of the structure and dynamics of touching relations make it possible to define guidelines for the design of interpersonal interactions via networks.

With his protruding ears, lean physique and ever-present, ever-enigmatic smile, Golovkin looks every bit the extra from Borat, more Muppet than murderer. It's the eyes, however, and not the smile or the ears or the pidgin English, that truly tell the tale, that truly show just how terrifying the Kazakh middleweight can be. Not Golovkin's eyes, mind you. Nicknamed the \"\"God of War,\"\" his nearly vacant stare never changes during the course of a boxing match. No, in this case it was opponent Curtis Stevens' bulging, unbelieving eyes after being knocked silly in their fight last November that tell you all you need to know about Golovkin. Stevens, musclebound and fierce, looks like a prototypical modern boxer. If life were a video game, Stevens would be Mike Tyson, or at the very least the Sandman. Golovkin, if he made the cut at all, would be just another Don Flamenco, a skinny goofball used in the game's opening bout to put players through their paces. Aesthetically, Golovkin, built with ropey muscles that will never land him a gig as a calendar model, had no business beating Stevens."

Seeing a person you knew years ago, but have not seen for a time, can be challenging. It’s somehow easier to remember a face than a name. Why? Perhaps the visual is stronger than the verbal. Or, because faces are information centers, the location for the expressions and emotions which indicate character and manifest the soul. Or is the fact that faces are normally exposed and naked to the world striking? Anyway, we know it’s much different to talk face to face with people than it is to read their e-mails, letters, or speak by phone. What is it about a face?"

Modern CPUs often include multiple processing cores, which work together to process instructions.

He has a MBA in marketing. This lesson will explain what a computer platform is, describe the different sizes and types, and discuss the uses for the different types - one size definitely does not fit all! We will also touch on cloud-based computing platforms. Computer Platform Defined A computer platform is a system that consists of a hardware device and an operating system that an application, program or process runs upon. An example of a computer platform is a desktop computer with Microsoft Windows installed on it. A desktop is a hardware device and Windows is an operating system. The operating system acts as an interface between the computer and the user and also between the computer and the application. So in order to have a functional device, you need hardware and an operating system together to make a usable computer platform for a program to run on."

For the most current information, look at this post on the latest best laptops under $1000. Usually not many folks have budget of $1000 for their laptop and most of them choose to go with a budget laptop. But if you’re looking for some reliable and top-notch laptop for under $1000 then you certainly are at the right place. In last few years, there have been plenty of great advancements in laptop industry and there are many new technologies available now within new laptops such as touch screen display, Windows 8, ultrabook, 4th generation processor, etc. so I always prefer that you take some advice before buying from a friend who knows about laptops and tech gadgets. These days a laptop is an extremely essential accessory for all needs whether it is work or entertainment. Doesn’t matter in what work industry you are, you certainly need a laptop. However, buying a new laptop can be extremely daunting since there are countless laptops under $1000 from various brands and series’. Laptops listed below are not just good for work, movies, etc."

The type of processor a computer has not only affects its overall performance, but it can also dictate what type of software it uses.32-bit processor64-bit processor Differences between a 32-bit and 64-bit processor32-bit processor The 32-bit processor was the primary processor used in all computers until the early 1990s. Intel Pentium processors and early AMD processors were 32-bit, which means the operating system and software work with data units that are 32 bits wide. Windows 95, 98, and XP are all 32-bit operating systems. Note: A computer with a 32-bit processor cannot have a 64-bit version of an operating system installed. It can only have a 32-bit version of an operating system installed.64-bit processor The 64-bit computer has been around since 1961 when IBM created the IBM 7030 Stretch supercomputer. However, it was not put into use in home computers until the early 2000s. Microsoft released a 64-bit version of Windows XP to be used on computers with a 64-bit processor. Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 also come in 64-bit versions."

"text": "\"Processors Best CPU For Gaming in 2018Sarfraz April 2, 2018Best Gaming CPU’s in 2018For building the best gaming PC, you do not have to select the best graphics card only but the processor is more important than that. If you think I am wrong, then I have my logic. A good graphics card cannot unlock its full potential if not used on a decent CPU. If you think you can use a GTX 1080 on an Intel Pentium G4400 which costs around $50 only, then you will see how your CPU is bottlenecking your graphics card. Instead of getting 60+fps, you will get 30 or 40. And that’s all because of the CPU you are using. If you use a good CPU first then you can use any graphics card according to your budget and the capability your CPU has. So, I am going to mention the best processors for gaming for every budget both from Intel and AMD. But before proceeding, I want to clear some concept. You may be wondering how many cores do you need?"

"text": "Cache Memory Definition - What does Cache Memorymean? Cache memory is a small-sized type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores frequently used computer programs, applications and data. It is the fastest memory in a computer, and is typically integrated onto the motherboard and directly embedded in the processor or main random access memory (RAM). Techopedia explains Cache Memory Cache memory provides faster data storage and access by storing instances of programs and data routinely accessed by the processor. Thus, when a processor requests data that already has an instance in the cache memory, it does not need to go to the main memory or the hard disk to fetch the data. Cache memory can be primary or secondary cache memory, with primary cache memory directly integrated into (or closest to) the processor. In addition to hardware-based cache, cache memory also can be a disk cache, where a reserved portion on a disk stores and provides access to frequently accessed data/applications from the disk."

"text": "\"Difference Between Core and Processor Posted on December 4, 2014 by admin Core vs Processor Difference between processor and core can be a puzzling topic if you are not computer savvy. Processor or the CPU is like the brain of the computer system. It is responsible for all the core functions such as arithmetical, logical and control operations. A traditional processor such as a Pentium processor has only one core inside the processor, but modern processors are multi-core processors. A multi-core processor has several cores inside the processor package where a core is the most basic computational unit of a processor. A core can execute only one program instruction at a time (can execute several if hyper-threading capability is available) but a processor which is made of several cores can execute several instructions simultaneously depending on the number of cores. What is a Processor? Processor that is also known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the most important part of a computer system which is responsible for executing program instructions. These instructions involve arithmetical, logical, control and input-output operations. Traditionally a processor consists of a component called Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU), which is responsible for all arithmetical and logical operations and another component called Control Unit (CU) which is responsible for all control operations."

This tends to increase the number of instructions that the processor can perform in a given time. The speed of SDRAM is rated in MHz rather than in nanoseconds (ns). This makes it easier to compare the bus speed and the RAM chip speed. You can convert the RAM clock speed to nanoseconds by dividing the chip speed into 1 billion ns (which is one second). For example, an 83 MHz RAM would be equivalent to 12 ns.

A processor contains many discrete parts within it, such as one or more memory caches for instructions and data, instruction decoders, and various types of execution units for performing arithmetic or logical operations. A multiprocessor system contains more than one such CPU, allowing them to work in parallel. This is called SMP, or Symmetric Multi Processing.

Simple genotype-phenotype map that only shows additive pleiotropy effects. G1, G2, and G3 are different genes that contribute to phenotypes P1, P2, and P3. Pleiotropy (from Greek πλείων pleion, \"\"more\"\", and τρόπος tropos, \"\"way\"\") occurs when one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. Therefore, a mutation in a pleiotropic gene may have an effect on several traits simultaneously due to the gene coding for a product used by a myriad of cells or different targets that have the same signaling function. Pleiotropy can arise from several distinct but potentially overlapping mechanisms, such as gene pleiotropy, developmental pleiotropy, and selectional pleiotropy. Gene pleiotropy occurs when a gene product interacts with multiple other proteins or catalyzes multiple reactions. Developmental pleiotropy occurs when mutations have multiple effects on the resulting phenotype. Selectional pleiotropy occurs when the resulting phenotype has many effects on fitness (depending on factors such as age and gender). ["

"text": "“Ewwww, does that mean my poop is leaking into my body?”Only those of you dealing with chronic gut issues can appreciate a questions like that. But it’s actually a question that came up for me when I first learned about leaky gut. Back then I was struggling with chronic constipation and low energy, I was still trying to figure out my health and “Leaky Gut” sounded pretty darn weird to me. Now, after years of studying it, that simplistic question isn’t far from the truth. Here is what concerns me most: leaky gut syndrome is a huge part of why autoimmune disease startsand if left unfixed can be part of why the symptoms keep getting worse. So, then the question becomes how do we heal a leaky gut? We believe a pleiotropic approach is necessary, which means you must approach healing from several angles at once to actually flip the body back to health. This includes making dietary changes, adding supplements, reducing stressors and correcting underlying root causes of disease. And when it comes to supplements, L-Glutamine is one of the most talked about for digestive health. At this point, the research is pretty clear on L-Glutamine being a very valuable supplement for anyone dealing with chronic health issues."

"text": "\"Should statins be given to young adults? Signs of atherosclerosis can start when a person is a teenager, and recent findings in genetics have given more credence to the idea of giving young adults statins. The effectiveness and safety of the statins, their low cost, and their ubiquity make them appealing as a preventative medication, and the thought is that heart problems can be headed off early if people start taking statins in their 20s or 30s. The ongoing debate on whether statins are overprescribed intersects with this idea. If even 45-year-olds with no cardiovascular problems should not be given statins (as some doubters advocate), it sounds dumb to give the medication to 25-year-olds. The lipid-lowering effects of statins probably won’t provide short-term benefits to young adults ( pleiotropic effects are another question), but the lifetime health payoffs may tilt the cost/benefit calculation in favor of usage. Treating young adults with statins is an example of long-term patient care and preventative medicine that thinkers in public health have been trying to promote. In this case the benefits of the drug might not show up until 40 or more years after ingestion. Cardiovascular disease and related health issues are a major portion of society's overall spending on medicine. Cost benefit analyses are always only as good as their imperfect assumptions and what the analyzers know."

It is with this goal in mind that the SOT defines here its current consensus position on the safety of foods produced through biotechnology (genetic engineering). These products are commonly termed genetically modified foods, but this is misleading, since conventional methods of microbial, crop, and animal improvement also produce genetic modifications and these are not addressed here. The available scientific evidence indicates that the potential adverse health effects arising from biotechnology-derived foods are not different in nature from those created by conventional breeding practices for plant, animal, or microbial enhancement, and are already familiar to toxicologists. It is therefore important to recognize that the food product itself, rather than the process through which it is made, should be the focus of attention in assessing safety. We support the use of the substantial equivalence concept as part of the safety assessment of biotechnology-derived foods. This process establishes whether the new plant or animal is significantly different from comparable, nonengineered plants or animals used to produce food that is generally considered to be safe for consumers. It provides critical guidance as to the nature of any increased health hazards in the new food. To establish substantial equivalence, extensive comparative studies of the chemical composition, nutritional quality, and levels of potentially toxic components, in both the engineered and conventional crop and animal, are conducted. Notable differences between the existing and new organism would require further evaluation to determine whether the engineered form presents a higher level of risk."

"text": "Background Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder noteworthy for its worldwide distribution, relatively high prevalence, and clinical variability. This autosomal dominant syndrome has pleiotropic manifestations involving primarily the ocular, cardiovascular, and skeletal systems. Classic MFS (MFS type 1, MFS1) has been considered a condition caused by the deficiency of a structural extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin-1; however, studies of Marfan mouse models and Marfan-related conditions have expanded our current understanding to a pathogenic model that involves dysregulation of cytokine-transforming growth factor beta (TGF β) signaling. [ 1, 2]. Patients who have clinical findings of MFS, as well as genetic variants in the transforming growth factor-beta receptor-1 gene ( TGF β R1) and the transforming growth factor-beta receptor-2 gene ( TGF β R2), are designated as having MFS type 2 (MFS2). Pathophysiology Marfan syndrome (MFS) results from heterozygous mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene ( FBN1; OMIM # 134797 ), located on chromosome 15 at band q21.1 (15q21.1), which encodes for the glycoprotein fibrillin. Fibrillin is a major building block of microfibrils, which constitute the structural components of the suspensory ligament of the ocular lens and serve as substrates for elastin in the aorta and other connective tissues. Abnormalities involving microfibrils weaken the aortic wall. Progressive aortic dilatation and eventual aortic dissection occur due to the tension caused by left ventricular ejection impulses. Likewise, deficient fibrillin deposition leads to reduced structural integrity of the lens zonules, ligaments, lung airways, and spinal dura. Production of abnormal fibrillin-1 monomers from the mutated gene disrupts the multimerization of fibrillin-1 and prevents microfibril formation."

( 2) Do the benefits associated with high dose statin use extend across all stroke sub-types including catheter related stroke? Irrespective of the etiology of ischemic stroke, use of statins has been associated with reduced infarct size and a more favorable outcome. 1 This is reinforced by our own observations that statins given within 4 weeks of stroke onset improve stroke outcome at 90 days compared with subjects not given statins. The benefits were more pronounced in statin-na|fkve patients who received statins early on after the stroke as compared with patients on statins before stroke onset. Furthermore, the benefits extended across all stroke types including cardioembolic stroke. 2, 3Similarly, using the Kaiser Permanente database of >12 000 patients, investigators found a strong direct correlation of prestroke and post stroke statin use and stoke outcome. Hyperlipidemia was not a predictor of outcome and the authors found the small lipid-lowering effect to be out of proportion to the significantly improved acute ischemic stroke outcomes, stressing the importance of the pleiotropic effects of statins. The study also found better outcomes with high-dose (>60 mg) versus low-dose (<60 mg) statins and the benefits extended to all acute ischemic stroke subtypes. 4The Dublin study, the largest to date, addressed 3 important questions: does pre- or poststroke statins use improve clinical outcome at discharge, are there predictors of such improvement and whether low-dose atorvastatin achieved the same results as high-dose."

[ 1] It is a PPAR-α agonist traditionally used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia. Despite fenofibrate's availability since that time, it was not until 1990 that Isseman and Green identified the first nuclear receptor to which peroxisome proliferators bound, [ 2] which is now designated the PPAR-α receptor. Fenofibrate is used in the treatment of dyslipidemia (characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides [TGs] and reduced HDL cholesterol), a condition common among patients with Type 2 diabetes. [ 3] Apart from its lipid-lowering properties, there is now evidence that fenofibrate exerts pleiotropic effects on the microvascular complications of diabetes. It has been found to reduce the need for laser photocoagulation therapy in patients with diabetic retinopathy and to reduce the risk of microvascular amputations. [ 4–6] In terms of renal pathology, fenofibrate has recently been shown to beneficially attenuate diabetic albuminuria. [ 7, 8] While it is also known to increase serum creatinine (SCr), it has been reported to reduce the loss of estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR) over 5 years. ["

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Antagonistic pleiotropy)navigation search The antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis was first proposed by George C. Williams in 1957 as an evolutionary explanation for senescence. [ 1] Pleiotropy is the phenomenon where one gene controls for more than one phenotypic trait in an organism. [ 2] Antagonistic pleiotropy is when one gene controls for more than one trait where at least one of these traits is beneficial to the organism's fitness and at least one is detrimental to the organism's fitness. [ 3] The theme of G. C. William's idea about antagonistic pleiotropy was that if a gene caused both increased reproduction in early life and aging in later life, then senescence would be adaptive in evolution. For example, one study suggests that since follicular depletion in human females causes both more regular cycles in early life and loss of fertility later in life through menopause, it can be selected for by having its early benefits outweigh its late costs. [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 As a constraint on perfection2 Benefits and costs3 Role in sexual selection4 Role in disease5 Ubiquity6 Adaptivity and senescence6.1 DNA repair and aging7 See also8 References As a constraint on perfection [ edit]Antagonistic pleiotropy is one of the several reasons evolutionary biologists give for organisms never being able to reach perfection through natural selection. Antagonistically pleiotropic genes are the explanation for fitness trade-offs. [ 3] This means that genes that are pleiotropic control for some beneficial traits and some detrimental traits; thus, if they happen to persist through natural selection, this will prevent organisms from reaching perfection because if they possess the benefits of the gene, they must also possess the imperfections or faults. An example of this would be female rodents that live in a nest with other females and may end up feeding young that are not theirs due to their intense parental drive. [ 5] This strong parental drive will be selected for, but the organisms will still make the mistake of feeding young that are not theirs and mis-allocating their resources."

The specific case of heterozygote advantage is due to a single locus known as overdominance. [ citation needed]Polymorphism can be maintained by selection favoring the heterozygote, and this mechanism is used to explain the occurrence of some kinds of genetic variability. A common example is the case where the heterozygote conveys both advantages and disadvantages, while both homozygotes convey a disadvantage. A well-established case of heterozygote advantage is that of the gene involved in sickle cell anaemia. Often, the advantages and disadvantages conveyed are rather complicated, because more than one gene may influence a given trait or morph. Major genes almost always have multiple effects ( pleiotropism ), which can simultaneously convey separate advantageous traits and disadvantageous traits upon the same organism. In this instance, the state of the organism's environment will provide selection, with a net effect either favoring or working in opposition to the gene, until an environmentally determined equilibrium is reached. Heterozygote advantage is a major underlying mechanism for heterosis, or \"\"hybrid vigor\"\", which is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring.

Pleiotropy, the lack of dominance and lethal genes cannot be classified as variations of inheritance since genes can have these behaviors and at the same time obey Mendelian laws.

Evolutionary developmental biology (informally, evo-devo) is a field of biological research that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to infer the ancestral relationships between them and how developmental processes evolved. The field grew from 19th century beginnings, where embryology faced a mystery: zoologists did not know how embryonic development was controlled at the molecular level. Charles Darwin noted that having similar embryos implied common ancestry, but little progress was made until the 1970s. Then, recombinant DNA technology at last brought embryology together with molecular genetics. A key early discovery was of homeotic genes that regulate development in a wide range of eukaryotes. The field is characterised by some key concepts, which took evolutionary biologists by surprise. One is deep homology, the finding that dissimilar organs such as the eyes of insects, vertebrates and cephalopod molluscs, long thought to have evolved separately, are controlled by similar genes such as pax-6, from the evo-devo gene toolkit. These genes are ancient, being highly conserved among phyla; they generate the patterns in time and space which shape the embryo, and ultimately form the body plan of the organism."

Many associated minor features can be helpful in making a diagnosis and are important in the clinical management of BBS. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings and can be confirmed by sequencing of known disease-causing genes in 80% of patients. BBS genes encode proteins that localise to the cilia and basal body and are involved in cilia biogenesis and function. Mutations lead to defective cilia accounting in part for the pleiotropic effects observed in BBS. We provide an overview of BBS including the clinical findings, current understanding of cilia biology, and a practical approach to diagnosis, genetic counselling and up-to-date management. In Brief Autosomal recessive ciliopathy. The estimated incidence is 1:160 000 in northern European populations and 1:13 500 in some Arab populations.

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian This depends entirely on the species of kangaroo. There are over sixty known species of kangaroo, ranging from the largest, the Red kangaroo, to the smallest, the Musky rat kangaroo. Therefore, gestation periods vary. It should also be noted that kangaroos have the ability to suspend the development of the embryo whilst another joey is still in the pouch, so they can be in a state of continuous pregnancy. The musky rat kangaroo has a gestation period of 19 days, whilst the red kangaroo has a gestation period of about 33 days. Most other kangaroo species have a gestation period of 31-36 days. Most of the development of the joey occurs in the pouch rather than in the womb. Young musky rat kangaroo joeys spend about 21 weeks in the pouch, while red kangaroo joeys spend an average of 9 months in the pouch."

The word kangaroo stems from an Aboriginal language (Guugu Yimidhirr). The Aboriginal word gangurru described the Grey Kangaroo. It's an urban myth that the name kangaroo is the result of a misunderstanding, and developed from an Aboriginal word meaning \"\"I don't know\"\", or \"\"I don't understand\"\". ( That's a popular story, you often read it in connection with names that developed from Aboriginal words. ) Pademelon Rock Wallaby The name kangaroo is used broadly to include all species within the super-family of macropods. The species are grouped into two families: The Macropodidae include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, tree kangaroos and forest wallabies. The Potoroidae include rat kangaroos, potoroos and bettongs."

"text": "Q From Mary Ramsey: Recently I used the expression kangaroo court in my 10th grade English class and a student asked about the origin of that expression. Any explanations? A A kangaroo court is one that’s illegal, not properly constituted or is manifestly unfair or unjust and in which the likelihood of the prisoner’s being found guilty doesn’t depend on the evidence. You might reasonably assume the term is Australian — only in that country, after all, does one find kangaroos. But the term is definitely American, with no known links to Australia apart from the animal’s name. What’s more, the early history of the term is almost totally opaque. Under such circumstances, folk etymology thrives. It has been suggested that it comes from the habit of kangaroos out in the bush of staring fixedly at human intruders for minutes at a time and that settlers might have connected this to the unwavering assessing stare of judge and jurors at a trial. Others argue that it might have come from a vicious streak that cornered kangaroos are reported to display. It has been seriously put forward that a prime characteristic of the first kangaroo courts was that they hopped unpredictably from place to place or that the prisoner was bounced from court to gallows."

The eastern grey is the most common species in Queensland. The eastern grey kangaroo adapts to changed landscapes that still provide shelter, water and grass to eat. Golf courses, outer suburban parks, rural residential areas and farmland can all provide a habitat. Without fear of being hunted or disturbed, eastern grey kangaroos have had little inclination to move out of their traditional habitats and territories. They now tolerate our presence and we tolerate theirs, often enjoying the sight of one of our largest native animals at close quarters. When it comes to looking eye-to-eye at such a large marsupial, it is important to understand how it can behave. Watching kangaroos can teach you a lot about their individual behaviour and how they act within a group.

Just as you don't see horses and carts in major cities anymore, Aussies have moved away from riding kangaroos in much the same way. Let's face it, kangaroos are smelly, need to eat lots of food, and are dangerous with a nasty kick - kinda like horses when you think about it. Cars really are much nicer to commute to work in. But just like horses, there are diehard kangaroo riding enthusiasts who haven't figured out that cars are so much better. As such there are riding schools, such as Alex Hayek's Kangaroo Riding School, and clubs for people to learn to ride. Some children do prefer to ride kangaroos instead of bikes to school, but that is becoming less common with the advent of helicopter parents. The sad thing about kangaroo riding is that it isn't as popular as horse riding in Australia, despite kangaroos resulting in less deaths each year than horses."

They are only found naturally in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Most macropods have hind legs larger than their forelimbs, large hind feet, and long muscular tails which they use for balance. The word macropod actually means 'big foot'. Kangaroos and wallabies are most active at night, dusk and dawn. All kangaroos and wallabies have forward-opening pouches. Other marsupials - wombats and koalas - have pouches that open backwards. The kangaroo superfamily consists of two family groups. Kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons and tree kangaroos make up one family, while rat-kangaroos, bettongs and potoroos make up the other."

There are over sixty known species of kangaroo, ranging from the largest, the Red kangaroo, to the smallest, the Musky rat kangaroo. Therefore, gestation periods vary. It should also be noted that kangaroos have the ability to suspend the development of the embryo whilst another joey is still in the pouch, so they can be in a state of continuous pregnancy. The musky rat kangaroo has a gestation period of 19 days, whilst the red kangaroo has a gestation period of about 33 days. Most other kangaroo species have a gestation period of 31-36 days. Most of the development of the joey occurs in the pouch rather than in the womb. Young musky rat kangaroo joeys spend about 21 weeks in the pouch, while red kangaroo joeys spend an average of 9 months in the pouch."

Examples of such deserts comprise the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern parts of the U. S., Mexico, and Australia, that are situated at a low altitude. Others include the cold deserts in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada, and in parts of western Asia. Some deserts have isolated areas of vegetation, which surround a similar water source or spring, where this feature is called a desert oasis. Most of these deserts have a considerable amount of specialized vegetation, including a collection of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. There are only a few large mammals in these deserts because they are not capable of storing sufficient water or withstanding the blistering heat. The desert biomes can be separated according to several features, in four major categories: Cold, hot and dry, semiarid, coastal.

They replied \"\"Can-ga-roo\"\" which in their language meant something along the lines of \"\"I don't understand your question\"\".

The word \"\"kangaroo\"\" is believed to have come from the Aboriginal word gangurru, a Guugu Yimidhirr word referring to the Grey Kangaroo.

At the tender age of 15 months female dairy cows are forced into pregnancy through artificial insemination.

By Miranda Reiman, Certified Angus Beef | Dec 14, 2012Property taxes don’t mind if your cows are black or white or red. Ranches must have fences, pickups and equipment, regardless of what the calves weigh at weaning. “Fixed cost doesn’t care whether you’ve got 400 cows, 200 cows, 60 cows or 2 cows. It’s going to be the same,” says Stan Bevers, Texas A & M University beef economist. “ The only way to drive down the impact is to get more cows. ”As the industry anxiously awaits a drought reversal and herd rebuilding, many experts say now is the time to analyze overall carrying expenses. “One of the problems that we run into is that guys don’t calculate their cow costs, so things get out of perspective,” says Jim Mc Grann, emeritus ranch management economist at Texas A & M. “They will try to save in areas where it’s not going to make that big of a difference. ”\"\">Mc Grann implemented the management program know as Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) in the 1990s, to help producers benchmark their herd against others. Bevers now manages that program, which shows an average annual cost of $590.85 for a cow in 2012.“I started in 1989."

There is a theory that heifer (young female) meat is tenderest because female beef tends to have less surface fat, the fat being distributed through the meat. The densest beef is bull meat but is tough and can smell. A steer, being an neutered bull still has the density to the meat but is not producing tostesterone to give the meat that bullish quality. Bull meat and aged cow meat tend to be used more for ground-beef.

Cows like to sleep close to their families Sleeping arrangements are determined by their position in the social hierarchy. There are approximately 920 different breeds of cows in the world. Cows where thought to have been domesticated approximately 5000 years ago. Cows have incredible senses: they have near panoramic vision, can detect odours up to five miles away and they can hear low and high frequency sounds better than humans. For clarity lets firstly establish the definitions. A cow is an adult female, a baby is called a calf and a female who has not yet had a calf is called an heifer and a bull is an adult male. Collectively they are called cattle. However it is quite common for people to refer to cattle as cows regardless of the above classifications and for ease of writing I will occasionally do likewise when referring to cattle in general terms. Recently, as we walked along the foot path near to a field in the Northumbrian hills we could hear the dull sound of distant explosions, army manoeuvres I knew, but nonetheless the noise was unsettling."

Even if she and her babies don't die in the process they are harmed physically and mentally. In my opinion it's equivalent to cutting a piece of meat from a cow's body, eating it, and saying \"\"she didn't die so it's veg\"\". I think most people won't accept that milk is non-vegetarian because their community is drinking it for ages and they have always called themselves vegetarian.

Estrous, on the other hand, is the whole reproductive heat cycle that a female goes through, from heat period to no heat period (Proestrus, Estrus, Metestrus, and Diestrus). Estrus is actually a result of the release in estrogen from a maturing follicle in the cow's ovaries prior to ovulation. Secretions from the reproductive tract act as lubricant for breeding and help sperm travel to the uterus. Below are the steps that describe the physiological steps of how estrus occurs in female bovines, and how to detect a cow or heifer that is in heat. Steps1 Know the physiological reproductive cycle of cattle. Cows and heifers typically go into heat or estrus every 17 to 24 days (average is 21 days). A bred cow or heifer will usually not go into heat until a few weeks after giving birth.2 Know the behaviour changes of cows and heifers going into heat.

However, for most inexperienced people who know next to nothing about cattle and cows, a so-called \"\"male cow\"\" may be referred to as a bull, if intact, or a steer, if castrated/neutered. Cattle, scientifically known as \"\" Bos taurus\"\" have a specific name for both male and female sexes. The male is called a Bull and the female a Cow. It's almost like learning another language where instead of being called a male he's called a Bull and instead of her being called a female she's called a Cow. A lot of people use the term 'Cow' in place of 'Cattle' as a sort of abbreviation. Mature, intact male cattle that are used for breeding cows and heifers are called bulls . Intact male cattle that are almost, of or past weaning age but are younger than 2 years of age are called bullocks.

Perhaps you have seen them on television in commercials, or you may have even seen them grazing in a field and noticed how different they look. There are five common breeds of dairy cows: Ayrshire Brown Swiss Guernsey Jersey Holstein- Friersian From The Milk Makers Each breed gives a slightly different milk product that varies in nutrient content (i.e. protein and vitamins). You are probably most familiar with the Holstein-Friesian (black and white) dairy cow. It is the most popular among dairy farmers because it produces more milk than the other breeds. Although it would make sense for farmers to milk herds of pure Holsteins since they give the most milk, some farmers mix their breeds because cows that are slightly mixed tend to be stronger than pure Holsteins. This hybridization is what accounts for the difference in appearance that you may see in a herd of dairy cows. What else should you know about cows? Just like with humans, there are different names given to cows depending on their sex and stage in life. For example, a female cow younger than 3 years old that has not had a baby is termed a heifer; a male cow is called a bull; and a castrated male is a steer."

Animals such as jellyfish, corals and flatworms have a much simpler way to handle the digestion of food, as well as the circulation of nutrients around the body. Learn about the structure and function of the gastrovascular cavity in these organisms. What Is a Gastrovascular Cavity? The gastrovascular cavity is a structure found in primitive animal phyla. It is responsible for both the digestion of food and the transport of nutrients throughout the body. The cavity has only one opening to the environment. Food goes in and waste comes out that same opening, making it a two-way digestive tract. By contrast, organisms that have a mouth on one end with an anus on the other end have a one-way digestive tract, called an alimentary canal. Food goes in the mouth, while waste comes out the anus."

Find out why different kinds of animals have different systems, and see what a closed circulatory system and indoor plumbing have in common. Nutrients and Waste in the Body All living things must take in nutrients and expel waste products. In the case of animal cells, this means that they must take in carbohydrates and oxygen, and release carbon dioxide. Illustration of an animal cell In single-celled organisms that live in water, this can be accomplished by transport across the cell wall. But what about multicellular organisms where not all cells come in contact with the outside environment? And what about animals that live on land and can't just absorb nutrients from their surrounding environment? These animals must find a way to distribute nutrients to every cell in their body, and the bigger and more complex the organism, the more difficult this task becomes. So it shouldn't be too surprising that many different types of distribution systems are found in various animals, depending on their size, complexity and the environment they live in. Gastrovascular Cavities Some of the simplest multicellular organisms are cnidarians."

The hydra belongs to a group of organisms known as cnidarians or sometimes called coelenterates. This phylum also includes animals such as the jellyfish and sea anemone and the organisms that make up coral reefs. The common characteristic to all of these animals is that they have stinging cells located, known as cnidocytes, on their tentacles. Because they belong to the animal kingdom, you can also assume that all cnidarians are multicellular and heterotrophic - meaning they must consume their food in some way. Many cnidarians spend their lives attached to objects where they wait for fish or other organisms to swim by them and become trapped by their tentacles. Let's compare the main types of cnidarians. Sea anemones belong to the class Anthozoa, which translates to mean \"\"flower animal\"\". Anemones are often very colorful and have hundreds of tentacles that wave in the water currents while the main part of their body remains attached to a surface.

Several accessory organs are associated with this tract - for example: the salivary glands, the liver and gall bladder, and the pancreas. Embryologically, almost all the lining of the digestive tract is derived from endoderm. The only exceptions to this rule are the very first part of the digestive system and the very last part:the anterior portion of the mouth develops from an ectodermal depression called the stomodeum. Initially, the floor of this depression is formed by the buccopharyngeal membrane, but later this perforates and there is then continuity between the amniotic cavity externally and the lumen of the gut tube internallyat the caudal end of the embryo, on the ventral aspect of the curving tail region, is another ectodermal depression called the proctodeum. This is initially floored by the cloacal membrane, but after undergoing a number of changes, this too perforated and allows communication between the inside and outside. ( The buccopharyngeal and cloacal membranes lack a mesodermal core, and thus fail to develop a blood supply - this might explain their later breakdown. ) The other layers of the digestive tract - for example: the muscular wall - are developed from splanchnic mesoderm. Similarly, organs such as the liver and pancreas arise as endodermal outgrowths from the gut tube, but mesoderm contributes to their development. ("

Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional nourishment comes from a symbiotic relationship with single-celled dinoflagellates, zooxanthellae or with green algae, zoochlorellae, that live within the cells."

Cells live in aqueous environments. The resources that they need, such as nutrients and oxygen, move across the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. Metabolic wastes, such as carbon dioxide, move out of the cell. Most animals have organ systems specialized for exchanging materials with the environment, and many have an internal transport system that conveys fluid (blood or interstitial fluid) throughout the body. For aquatic organisms, structures such as gills present an expansive surface area to the outside environment. Oxygen dissolved in the surrounding water diffuses across the thin epithelium covering the gills and into a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries). At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses out into the water. Concept 42.1 Circulatory systems reflect phylogeny Diffusion alone is not adequate for transporting substances over long distances in animals—for example, for moving glucose from the digestive tract and oxygen from the lungs to the brain of a mammal. Diffusion is insufficient over distances of more than a few millimeters, because the time it takes for a substance to diffuse from one place to another is proportional to the square of the distance."

This phylum is commonly called sponges. The number of species is estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000. All are aquatic and almost all are marine. Animals in this phyla have no true tissues, which means, for example, that they have no nervous system or sense organs. Although sponges are multicellular, they are described as being essentially at a cellular level of organization. They are sessile as adults, but have a free swimming larva. Their bodies are porous."

They are named after the anemone, a terrestrial flowering plant, because of the colourful appearance of many. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and Hydra. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional nourishment comes from a symbiotic relationship with single-celled dinoflagellates, zooxanthellae or with green algae, zoochlorellae, that live within the cells."

"text": "Home »Nature The Difference Between Flatworms and Roundworms By Charlotte Ellis; Updated February 05, 2018Scientists study both the flatworm Planaria and the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans in laboratories, using them as test subjects, and while they may seem similar, they have some distinct internal and external differences. Flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) and roundworms (phylum Nematoda) differ in shape, means of locomotion, how their digestive systems function, and in the ways they are harmful to human beings. While both species are called worms, they are not closely related. DIfferent Forms, Different Functions A flatworm has a thin, dorsoventrally flattened body. Roundworms are more cylindrical in shape and tapered to a fine point at one end. Similarly, roundworms have a rigid outer covering called a cuticle that they shed repeatedly throughout their lives and as they grow. Flatworms do not have this; their bodies, instead, are covered with cilia, hairlike growths. The gliding locomotion of a flatworm is powered by many tiny cilia on the outer surface of its body. Roundworms, on the other hand, have longitudinal muscles (oriented lengthwise down the worm) that they contract to bend their bodies in a thrashing motion. Flatworms generally live in bodies of water, while roundworm species can live either on water or in soil."

We'll go over what each term means, and see examples of each type of digestion. Types of Digestion Did you ever think about what happens when you have your snack? Sure, you chew and swallow, but how does the food actually get to your brain cells? The answer is through your digestive system. During digestion, we break food down into smaller parts called nutrients that our cells can use. This type of digestion is called extracellular digestion. But there is also another type of digestion, known as intracellular digestion. Today we're going to explore both types of digestion and check out some examples you might not be as familiar with. Extracellular Digestion The prefix 'extra' means outside, which tells us that extracellular digestion occurs outside the cell."

Organisms that belong to 2 main phyla – the Platyhelminthes and the Cnidaria – have gastrovascular cavities. The cnidarians that are symmetrical have a body that is sac-like in 2 layers that are distinct – the epidermis and gastrodermis – with a jelly type layer called the mesoglea in between. Digestion that is extra cellular begins within the center cavity of the body that is sac-like. This cavity or hollow has only 1 means leading outside and in the majority of cnidarians that opening is surrounded by tentacles that serve to seize prey. An example is the digestion in hydra happens in the gastrovascular cavity. Those organisms having a gastrovascular cavity include: jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, sea pen and flatworms.

"text": "\"The following phyla of multicellular animals (called metazoans) are usually included in general biology courses. Remember that the botanical counterpart of a phylum is called a division. Unicellular animals (called protozoans) are usually placed in the kingdom Protista along with the divisions of unicellular and multicellular algae. True multicellular animals are typically without cellulose cell walls and photosynthetic pigments, and they form diploid embryos developing from a blastula stage. The blastula is a hollow, fluid-filled sphere bounded by a single layer of cells surrounding a central cavity or blastocoel. The blastula develops from a spherical cluster of cells called a morula. In addition, animals are capable of locomotion or body movement by means of contractile muscle tissue. In a cross sectional view, animal embryos are composed of an outer layer called ectoderm, a middle layer or mesoderm, and an internal layer or endoderm that surrounds the digestive cavity. Multicellular animals are heterotrophic by ingestion of food into a body cavity (coelom) that is completely lined by the mesoderm. Primitive phyla without a true coelom include the Porifera and Coelenterata (Cnidaria)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Chemical digestion)navigation search For the industrial process, see anaerobic digestion. For the treatment of precipitates in analytical chemistry, see Precipitation (chemistry) § Digestion. For the journal, see Digestion (journal). Digestive system Details Identifiers Latin systema digestorium Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism that is often divided into two processes based on how food is broken down: mechanical and chemical digestion. The term mechanical digestion refers to the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces which can subsequently be accessed by digestive enzymes. In chemical digestion, enzymes break down food into the small molecules the body can use. In the human digestive system, food enters the mouth and mechanical digestion of the food starts by the action of mastication (chewing), a form of mechanical digestion, and the wetting contact of saliva. Saliva, a liquid secreted by the salivary glands, contains salivary amylase, an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food; the saliva also contains mucus, which lubricates the food, and hydrogen carbonate, which provides the ideal conditions of p H ( alkaline) for amylase to work."

They live in marine and fresh water habitats, moist terrestrial environments, and inside other organisms as parasites. All have three tissue layers: ectoderm on the outside, endoderm lining the gut, and mesoderm in between. As in the Cnidaria, the gut is a gastrovascular cavity and has the functions of both digestion and circulation; the mouth serves as both entrance and exit from the gut. The body is bilaterally symmetrical, and there is a well defined rostral or head end and, opposite it a caudal or tail end. At the head end the nervous system has a coordination center which can be called a brain. There is no specialized respiratory system. Flatworms are acoelomate, that is the outside of the gut wall is directly continuous with the mesoderm; there is no coelomic cavity and so the gut is not free inside the body. The mesoderm is muscular and is used for movement. Ectodermal cells may be ciliated and provide another means of locomotion."

Credit: B. Chouet/USGS. A volcano on Earth is a vent or fissure in the planet's crust through which lava, ash, rock and gases erupt. A volcano is also a mountain formed by the accumulation of these eruptive products. Volcanoes have existed for a long time on Earth, likely causing disasters such as the Permian mass extinction about 250 million years ago, the greatest mass extinction in Earth's history, according to a 2015 paper. Volcanoes can and have existed on other worlds as well: although volcanoes on the moon and Mars have long been dormant, volcanoes are still very active on Jupiter's moon Io. Researchers are currently striving to find ways to predict when volcanic eruptions might happen on Earth by analyzing clues such as crystals and gases linked with volcanoes. Let's take a look at how volcanoes form on Earth: Earth's crust is 3 to 37 miles (5 to 60 kilometers) thick, according to the U. S. Geological Survey. It is broken up into seven major and 152 smaller pieces called tectonic plates, according to a 2016 paper by Christopher Harrison at the University of Miami. These plates float on a layer of magma — semi-liquid rock and dissolved gases."

Reported cases are mainly form Africa. The life cycle, transmission, morphology, clinical presentation, and treatment of the F. gigantica trematode and its infections are very similar to those of F. hepatica. Morphology: The Adult Worm - Averaging 30mm in length and 13 mm in width, Fasciola hepatica is one of the largest flukes in the world. The adult worm has a very characteristic leaf shape with the anterior end being broader than the posterior end and an anterior cone-shaped projection. The fluke possesses a powerful oral sucker at the end the anterior cone and a ventral sucker at the base of the cone which allow it to attach to the lining of the biliary ducts. Each worm possesses ovaries and testes which are highly branched and allow for individual flukes to produce eggs independently. The Egg - The eggs of Fasciola hepatica are operculated and average 140 μm in length and 75 μm in width. Follow me to a labeled images of Fasciola hepatica History: Eggs of Fasciola hepatica have been found in mummies, showing that human infection was occurring at least as early as Pharaonic times (Farag). Indeed, F. hepatica was the first fluke or trematode to be reported."

There are 38 marked stations on the trail to familiarize you with the sights and sounds of this lush nature preserve. The trail differs considerably during each season. Your experiences in the winter will be much different, but hopefully no less enjoyable, than those in the summer. There are many sights and sounds on the trail not listed in this guide that may spark your curiosity. More specialized field guides available in local bookstores may help answer your questions. We hope you enjoy your visit and that you will return again. Thank you for not littering and for remaining on the trails. Although several of the species you will see are edible, for your own safety, please do not pick or eat any plants."

"text": "\"SENSESHearing The dolphin has an external, vertical ear \"\"slit\"\" located just posterior to each eye. The function of this slit is somewhat controversial. Some believe it allows for sounds to enter into the auditory complex of the animal; others believe it is a vestigial remnant of the external ear when the dolphin was living on land millions of years ago (see \"\"evolution\"\" within this site) and has no part in the dolphn's ability to hear. In either case, it is agreed that some sound is picked up by that part of the fatty mass within the panbone located (in part) within the inner ear. The auditory cortex of the dolphin brain is highly developed, evidence of its complex hearing abilities. Dolphins hear in a frequency range 7.5 times wider than the human. Hearing in the high frequencies is important for communication purposes. Sounds coming to the dolphin are collected and \"\"focused\"\" by its 80-100 cone-shaped teeth, which act as a sort of antenna. The focused sound vibrations are then transmitted to a fatty mass within the lower jawbone, also called the panbone. This fatty mass provides what is called an \"\"acoustic window\"\" through which hearing may occur."

"text": "\"Gymnosperms Gymnosperms, meaning “naked seeds,” are a diverse group of seed plants and are paraphyletic. Paraphyletic groups are those in which not all members are descendants of a single common ancestor. Their characteristics include naked seeds, separate female and male gametes, pollination by wind, and tracheids (which transport water and solutes in the vascular system). Gymnosperm seeds are not enclosed in an ovary; rather, they are exposed on cones or modified leaves. Sporophylls are specialized leaves that produce sporangia. The term strobilus (plural = strobili) describes a tight arrangement of sporophylls around a central stalk, as seen in cones. Some seeds are enveloped by sporophyte tissues upon maturation. The layer of sporophyte tissue that surrounds the megasporangium, and later, the embryo, is called the integument. Gymnosperms were the dominant phylum in Mesozoic era. They are adapted to live where fresh water is scarce during part of the year, or in the nitrogen-poor soil of a bog."

Volcanoes are classified as Active - Volcanoes that have erupted recently Dormant - Volcanoes that have not erupted recently but have done in the last 2000yrs Extinct - Volcanoes that have not erupted for many thousands of years How are Volcanoes Formed Volcanoes form where magma escapes through a vent, which is a crack in the earth's surface. This often happens at plate boundaries such as at destructive and constructive plate boundaries. They are also formed at Hot spots such as those found in Hawaii. The best description to use when answering this type of question is the one concerning the destructive plate boundary as outlined below. As two plates move towards each other, the heavier oceanic plate is forced under the lighter continental plate at the subduction zone. Here the oceanic plate melts due to the friction/pressure and forms lava which is significantly different to the mantle. This rises through cracks in the rocks where it eventually erupts at the surface, to form a composite volcano Types of Volcano & main features Shield Volcanoes Gentle slopes and a wide base Frequent eruptions of basic lava Lava flows at high speeds and for long distances before cooling Usually non-violent eruptions Examples - Mauna Loa & Kilauea Composite Volcanoes Steep sided with a distinctive cone shape High with a narrow base Explosive eruptions of lava & ash Layers of alternating ash & lava Secondary or parasitic cones formed when the main vent gets blocked Examples - Montserrat, Etna & Mt St Helens Volcanoes - The Hazards Pyroclastic Flows - A cloud of red hot gas and ash which flows down the side of a volcano at 200km/hr Lahars - A mixture of ash with rain or glacier melt water which forms a deadly river of mud Lava Flow - A river of molten rock 1000 degrees centigrade that can travel at 40mph Ash Fall - Millions of tons of ash can bury buildings, roads etc. Volcanic bombs - Rocks and lava the size of houses and cars can be hurled into the sky Links - Look at the Case study on Montserrat - Study the clips of the eruption from the revision DVDCommon Questions With the aid of diagrams describe the differences between shield and composite volcanoes Describe and explain the formation of a volcano Using an example describe the effects of a volcanic eruption Label the main features of a volcano"

Here we demonstrate that the circulating CD4 + CD8 + T-cell population contains mature effector memory lymphocytes specific for antigens of multiple past, latent, and high-level persistent viral infections. Upon in vitro antigenic challenge, a higher frequency of CD4 + CD8 + than single-positive cells displayed a T helper 1/T cytotoxic 1 (Th1/Tc1) cytokine profile and proliferated. Ex vivo, more double-positive than single-positive cells exhibited a differentiated phenotype. Accordingly, their lower T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC) content and shorter telomeres proved they had divided more frequently than single-positive cells. Consistent with expression of the tissue-homing marker CXCR3, CD4 + CD8 + T cells were demonstrated in situ at the site of persistent viral infection (ie, in the liver during chronic hepatitis C). Finally, a prospective analysis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a chimpanzee, the only animal model for HCV infection, showed a close correlation between the frequency of activated CD4 + CD8 + T cells and viral kinetics. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that peripheral CD4 + CD8 + T cells take part in the adaptive immune response against infectious pathogens and broaden the perception of the T-cell populations involved in antiviral immune responses. ( Blood. 2004;104:478-486)Introduction T-cell development is an ordered process thought to take place exclusively in the thymus where CD4 + CD8 + T cells develop into CD4 + and CD8 + T cells with mutually exclusive expression of these 2 receptors."

We observed that laughter suppressed 2-h postprandial blood glucose level increase in patients with type 2 diabetes and analyzed gene expression changes. Some genes showed specific changes in their expression. In addition, we revealed that laughter decreased the levels of prorenin in blood; prorenin is involved in the onset of diabetic complications. Further, laughter normalized the expression of the prorenin receptor gene on peripheral blood leukocytes, which had been reduced in diabetic patients; this demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of laughter on the onset/deterioration of diabetic complications at the gene-expression level. In a subsequent study, we demonstrated the effects of laughter by discriminating 14 genes, related to natural killer (NK) cell activity, to exhibit continuous increases in expression as a result of laughter. Our results supported NK cell-mediated improvement in glucose tolerance at the gene-expression level. In this report, we also review other previous studies on laughter.

[ 1]CTCLs with indolent clinical behavior include the following [ 1]: Mycosis fungoides Mycosis fungoides variants and subtypes (eg, folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, pagetoid reticulosis, granulomatous slack skin)Primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder (eg, primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, lymphomatoid papulosis)Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (provisional)Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (provisional)CTCLs with aggressive clinical behavior include the following [ 1]: Sézary syndrome Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type Primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma (provisional)Cutaneous gamma/delta-positive T-cell lymphoma (provisional)Signs and symptoms The signs and symptoms of CTCL vary depending on the type. The two most common types are mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. Classic mycosis fungoides is divided into the following 3 stages: Patch (atrophic or nonatrophic): Nonspecific dermatitis, patches on lower trunk and buttocks; minimal/absent pruritus Plaque: Intensely pruritic plaques, lymphadenopathy Tumor: Prone to ulceration Sézary syndrome is defined by erythroderma and leukemia. Signs and symptoms include the following: Edematous skin Lymphadenopathy Palmar and/or plantar hyperkeratosis Alopecia Nail dystrophy Ectropion Hepatosplenomegaly may be present Ocular involvement may be evident in advanced CTCL.

October 11, 2014 Immune System Comments Parts of the immune system Knowledge of the various parts of the immune system is a key to understanding its function and importance. Knowing the medical terminology also helps. In addition to mechanical barriers there are various components which comprise the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Those components are molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and chemical mediators. The chief molecules are surface markers and receptors which recognize antigens and respond to mediators. The main cells of the immune system are various types of white blood cells. They all originate in the bone marrow but develop into more specialized cells in other lymphoid organs and tissues. The chemical mediators are cytokines which transmit signals from one cell to another.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) Ruling in 1998 and the draft guidance for In Vitro Diagnostic Multivariate Index Assays (IVDMIA) in 2007, in similar attempts to regulate testing in clinical diagnostic laboratories. However, concerns about LDTs surfaced again several years ago, when in 2009, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) recommended that FDA play a role in the oversight of LDTs classified as high risk, arguing for stronger accreditation standards for laboratories conducting low- or moderate-risk LDTs. Although FDA held a public meeting in 2010 to hear stakeholder concerns, the agency has yet to issue new guidance. This potential for FDA oversight of LDTs has sparked considerable concerns in laboratories that perform flow cytometry. Most current laboratory best practices and recommendations for validating tests were designed for traditional clinical chemistry assays and not for flow cytometry analyses. Furthermore, today's highly complex flow cytometers produce a wide variety of data outputs, and appropriate cellular reference materials are not available for validation of LDTs. Consequently, regulation of laboratory-developed flow cytometry tests could hamper the availability of tests using this technology. In March 2011, international experts in the field of flow cytometry assay development and validation representing the International Council for Standardization of Haematology (ICSH) and the International Clinical Cytometry Society (ICCS) formed a workgroup to draft guidelines for validating flow cytometry LDTs. Their recommendations, \"\"Validation of Cell Based Fluorescence Assays: Practice Guideline,\"\" were published recently ( 1 )."

Tregs are immunosuppressive and generally suppress or downregulate induction and proliferation of effector T cells. [ 1] Tregs express the biomarkers CD4, FOXP3, and CD25 and are thought to be derived from the same lineage as naïve CD4 cells. [ 2] Because effector T cells also express CD4 and CD25, Tregs are very difficult to effectively discern from effector CD4+, making them difficult to study. Recent research has found that the cytokine TGFβ is essential for Tregs to differentiate from naïve CD4+ cells and is important in maintaining Treg homeostasis. [ 3]Mouse models have suggested that modulation of Tregs can treat autoimmune disease and cancer and can facilitate organ transplantation. ["

Animals considered to be aleukemic and lymphocytotic were included in the study. Significantly fewer numbers of circulating B-lymphocytes (surface Ig-positive) and T-helper lymphocytes (Bo CD4-positive) were identified in BLV-infected aleukemic cattle compared to non-infected controls while no significant differences were established for T-cytotoxic/suppressor lymphocytes (Bo CD8-positive). In contrast, BLV-infected animals with persistent lymphocytosis had elevated numbers of circulating B-lymphocytes with no significant perturbation in circulating T-lymphocyte subsets identified when compared as a group with the negative control cattle. Application of regression analysis to data from individual lymphocytotic cattle demonstrated a significant correlation between absolute numbers of B- and T-lymphocytes.

"text": "Expand all Collapse all Recently it has become clear that the neuronal compartment plays a more important role than previously thought in the pathology of multiple sclerosis. Apart from demyelination, neuronal pathology is apparently largely responsible for the brain atrophy that can be observed early on and throughout the course of the disease. The loss of axons and their neurons in the course of chronic neuroinflammation is a major factor determining long-term disability in patients. The actual steps leading from immune attack against the myelin sheath to neuronal damage are not yet fully clear. Here we review key findings about direct axonal damage processes, demyelination-related neuronal pathology and cell-body pathology, the major pathologic correlates that underlie brain atrophy in MS. Complex etiology of MSLoss of neurons due to cell death and axon degeneration, leading to atrophy of the central nervous system (CNS) is primarily discussed in the context of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, in recent years the focus of research has also turned to the role of CNS atrophy in classic neuroinflammatory diseases, in which atrophy has been described and neurodegeneration has been proposed as a pathologic feature [ 1. The most common chronic inflammatory disease of the CNS is multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition that leads to reversible and/or irreversible disability depending on the type and stage of the disease ( Box 1 ). The first detailed and systematic description of MS by Charcot largely underestimated the involvement of the neuronal compartment (axons, neuronal cell bodies and dendrites) in this disorder. However, research has since shown that axons exhibit pathology early in the disease [ 2, 3, 4] and that neurons in the cortex and spinal cord are also affected, albeit to varying extents [ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 ]."

The best way to prevent such mix-ups is to familiarize yourself with the abbreviations and acronyms, the symbols and shorthand terms, that are commonly used by healthcare professionals who take care of people with HIV. When your care-provider says, \"\"If your HIV RNA doesn't drop below 500 by the time we run your next labs, I think we'd better consider adding a PI to your d4T and 3TC to boost your CD4s and prevent OIs,\"\" that care-provider knows exactly what he or she is saying.

Go to: Abstract A variety of mechanisms have been suggested as the means by which infections can initiate and/or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. One mechanism is molecular mimicry, where a foreign antigen shares sequence or structural similarities with self-antigens. Molecular mimicry has typically been characterized on an antibody or T cell level. However, structural relatedness between pathogen and self does not account for T cell activation in a number of autoimmune diseases. A proposed mechanism that could have been misinterpreted for molecular mimicry is the expression of dual T cell receptors (TCR) on a single T cell. These T cells have dual reactivity to both foreign and self-antigens leaving the host vulnerable to foreign insults capable of triggering an autoimmune response."

Under various abnormal conditions thetotal numbers or proportions, or both, may be characteristically increased, decreased, or unaltered, and leukocytes may be present in other tissues and organs. Leukocytes representthree lines of development from primitive elements: myeloid, lymphoid, and monocytic series. On the basis of features observed with various methods of staining with polychromatic dyes (for example, Wright stain) cells of the myeloid series are frequently termed granularleukocytes, or granulocytes; cells of the lymphoid and monocytic series also have granules in the cytoplasm, but owing to their tiny size and varied properties (frequently not clearlyvisualized with routine methods), lymphocytes and monocytes are sometimes termednongranular or agranular leukocytes. Granulocytes are commonly known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (also polynuclear or multinuclear leukocytes), inasmuch as the mature nucleus is divided into two to five rounded or ovoid lobes that are connected withthin strands or small bands of chromatin; they consist of three distinct types: neutrophils,eosinophils, and basophils, named on the basis of the staining reactions of the cytoplasmicgranules. Cells of the lymphocytic series occur as three types, based on the identity of theirsurface receptors: B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and null cells. Morphologically, there aretwo, somewhat arbitrarily designated, normal varieties: small and large lymphocytes; theformer represent the ordinary forms and are conspicuously more numerous in the circulatingblood and normal lymphoid tissue; the latter may be found in normal circulating blood but aremore easily observed in lymphoid tissue. The small lymphocytes have nuclei that are deeply or densely stained (the chromatin is coarse and bulky) and almost fill the cells, with only a slight rim of cytoplasm around the nuclei; the large lymphocytes have nuclei that areapproximately the same size as, or only slightly larger than, those of the small forms, butthere is a broader, easily visualized band of cytoplasm around the nuclei. Cells of themonocytic series are usually larger than the other leukocytes, and are characterized by a relatively abundant, slightly opaque, pale blue or blue-gray cytoplasm that contains myriadextremely fine reddish-blue granules."

"text": "Types of immune cells present in human PBMCPosted on November 22, 2012 by Andrea in PBMC Basics with 1 Comment When peripheral whole blood is drawn for human immune system studies, it is often processed to remove red blood cells by density gradient centrifugation. Most commonly this method uses Ficoll Paque, a solution of high molecular weight sucrose polymers, a product of GE Healthcare Ltd. Ficoll separates whole blood into two fractions above and below the density of 1.077g/ml. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC) are the populations of immune cells that remain at the less dense, upper interface of the Ficoll layer, often referred to as the buffy coat and are the cells collected when the Ficoll fractionation method is used. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) and polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) which include neutrophils and eosinophils are generally removed during this fractionation as they are denser then 1.077g/ml. Basophils, however can be greater or less dense then 1.077g/ml and thus may be present to a small degree in the less dense PBMC fraction. PBMCs include lymphocytes ( T cells , B cells, and NK cells ), monocytes, and dendritic cells. In humans, the frequencies of these populations vary across individuals. In my experience as well as that of others, lymphocytes are typically in the range of 70 – 90% of PBMCs, monocytes range from 10 – 30% of PBMCs, while dendritic cells are rare, being only 1 – 2% of PBMCs. The frequencies of cell types within the lymphocyte population include 70 – 85% CD3+ T cells (45 – 70% of PBMC), 5 – 20% B cells (up to 15% of PBMC), and 5 – 20% NK cells (up to 15% of PBMC). The CD3+ compartment is composed of CD4 (25 – 60% of PBMC) and CD8 T cells (5 – 30% of PBMC), in a roughly 2:1 ratio."

The clinical characteristics of Good’s syndrome are increased susceptibility to bacterial infections with encapsulated organisms and opportunistic viral and fungal infections. The most consistent immunological abnormalities are hypogammaglobulinaemia and reduced or absent B cells. This disorder should be treated by resection of the thymoma and immunoglobulin replacement to maintain adequate trough Ig G values. The association between the presence of a thymoma and immunodeficiency was first recognised in 1954 by Dr Robert Good, who described a case of thymoma and hypogammaglobulinaemia in an adult. 1 Although there are no formal diagnostic criteria for this disorder it is classified as a distinct entity by the expert committee of the World Health Organisation/International Union of Immunological Societies on primary immunodeficiencies. 2 Good’s syndrome was noted in 7% of adults with primary antibody deficiency attending a chest clinic, 3 although this figure is probably influenced by referral bias, and the incidence of this condition in patients with primary antibody deficiency who are on immunoglobulin replacement treatment is more likely to be 1–2%. In patients with thymoma the incidence of hypogammaglobulinaemia is 6–11%. 4, 5 The cause and pathogenesis of this disorder are unknown, although there is some evidence that the basic defect may be in the bone marrow (pre-B cell arrest, impaired maturation of erythroid and myeloid precursors in some patients)."

If they consume foods containing lactose, they may experience bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea. Lactose is a sugar found only in milk, but it is also present in dairy products and food items made with milk derivatives. A lactose intolerance is different from a milk allergy. In a milk allergy, the body reacts to milk proteins, not milk sugar. Milk allergy can result in severe symptoms, including anaphylaxis. A person with a severe lactose intolerance may have to avoid not only milk and milk products, such as ice cream, but other processed foods containing milk powder, whey, and so on.

Hippocrates described the first adverse reaction to cow’s milk as skin and gastrointestinal symptoms after consumption. Today, cow’s milk is among the first foods introduced into an infant’s diet, and accordingly, it’s one of the first and most common causes of food allergy in early childhood, leading many to seek out dairy-free diet options. Cow’s milk protein allergy is a common food allergy in infants and children, and along with lactose intolerance, it requires a dairy-free diet at a time when adequate nutrition in critical. Researchers indicate that it’s important that parents receive reliable advice and ongoing support about appropriate dairy-free options and alternatives. Being aware of dairy-free food options or foods that contain less lactose helps you or your children adjust to a dairy-free diet. ( 1)What Is a Dairy-Free Diet? People follow a dairy-free diet for different reasons, but for most people, they’re searching for relief from digestive issues, bloating, skin problems and respiratory conditions that come from eating dairy products. It’s reported that 0.6 percent to 2.5 percent of preschoolers, 0.3 percent of older children and teens, and less than 0.5 percent of adults suffer from cow’s milk allergy and are forced to follow a dairy-free diet.

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the sugar lactose because of a lack of the digestive enzyme lactase, leading to diarrhea and abdominal cramping. Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of the enzyme lactase. Symptoms in children include diarrhea and poor weight gain, whereas symptoms in adults include abdominal bloating and cramps, diarrhea, flatulence, and nausea. The diagnosis is based on recognizing that symptoms occur after a person has consumed dairy products and can be confirmed with a hydrogen breath test. Treatment involves taking supplemental lactase enzymes and avoiding lactose, particularly in dairy products. Lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk and other dairy products, is broken down by the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells in the inner lining of the small intestine. Lactase breaks down lactose, a complex sugar, into its two components, glucose and galactose. These simple sugars are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. If lactase is lacking, lactose cannot be digested and absorbed."

Lactose intolerance is the reduced ability to digest milk sugars, due to insufficient amounts of the gut enzyme called lactase. Symptoms include bloating, gas, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate cheese well, and small amounts of milk and yoghurt. On this page: Symptoms of lactose intolerance Undigested milk sugars Causes of lactose intolerance Lactose intolerance in babies Diagnosis of lactose intolerance Management of lactose intolerance Hidden lactose Checking food labels for lactose Where to get help Milk and other dairy products contain a sugar or carbohydrate called lactose. Normally, the body breaks down lactose into its simpler components with the help of the enzyme lactase. Most mammals stop producing lactase when they are weaned. Most people of Western European descent, however, continue to produce it throughout life. Without enough lactase, a person can have digestive problems like abdominal pain and diarrhoea when they consume foods containing lactose. This is known as lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency."

Health benefits range from protecting against osteoporosis to relieving irritable bowel disease and aiding digestion, but these depend on the type of yogurt consumed. Added sugar and processing can make some yogurt products unhealthy. Yogurt starts as fresh milk or cream. It is often first pasteurized, then fermented with various live bacteria cultures, and incubated at a specific temperature to encourage bacteria growth. The culture ferments the lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. This produces lactic acid, which gives yogurt its distinctive flavor.

"text": "\"Difference Between Lactose Intolerance and Milk Allergy Posted on August 2, 2015 by Dr. Vipul Key Difference – Lactose Intolerance vs Milk Allergy Lactose Intolerance and Milk Allergy are two different digestive problems, often confused to be the same as they sound similar though, there is a difference between them. Lactose Intolerance is defined as the failure to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and to a lesser extent in all dairy products, causing abdominal side effects. A milk allergy is a type of food allergy in which, a person develops an allergic reaction against the proteins found in the milk or dairy products. This type of allergic reaction can lead to anaphylaxis or life-threatening circulatory collapse. The key difference between these conditions is that, the Lactose Intolerance is caused by the deficiency of an enzyme called lactase that is found in the mucosal surface of the digestive system while Milk Allergy is caused by immune reaction to one or more of the ingredients of milk. What is Lactose Intolerance? Individuals suffering from Lactose intolerant have very low levels of lactase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of lactose in the digestive system. In most cases, this causes symptoms which may include abdominal bloating or flatulence, nausea, and vomiting or diarrhea after consuming significant amounts of lactose-containing food. These Symptoms may appear one-and-half to two hours having a meal containing milk. The severity of symptoms correlates with the lactose load of the meal and most people suffering from lactose intolerance can tolerate a minimum level of lactose in their diets without uncomfortable side effects."

And if you choose to eat the good stuff anyway—symptoms be damned—are you putting your body at risk? We break it down below. ( Plus, find out if dairy really causes acne, here. ) What Exactly Is Lactose Intolerance? When you eat foods containing lactose—a sugar found in milk products—an enzyme called lactase works to break down the sugar into smaller particles, explains Jennifer Inra, M. D., a gastroenterologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. These smaller particles are easier for your GI tract to absorb and digest. A problem arises, though, if your body doesn’t produce enough lactase to break the milk sugars down. And that’s a common side effect of growing older, says Dana Hunnes, R. D., a senior dietitian at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center."

"text": "Food Intolerance Food Intolerance is caused when the digestive system is unable to completely break down food into smaller components due to insufficient amount of enzymes produced. Digestive enzymes are small proteins which break down food into smaller components that are possible to be absorbed by our guts. The unabsorbed food becomes a free meal for the bacteria that live in our digestive tract. As a result of its consumption by the bacteria we suffer the classic symptoms of bloating, tummy cramps, gas, wind and in many cases diarrhoea. The most common form of food intolerance is lactose intolerance which affects more than half the world population. Luckily this can easily be treated by digesting enzymes available from here see below. Food intolerance is completely different from food allergy and the two should not be mixed. Food allergy is caused by a response of the immune system against food proteins, thinking they are harmful substances. Food intolerance is not food poisoning, which is caused by toxic substances that would cause symptoms in anyone who ate the food. Food intolerance is not life threatening either."

"text": "Lactose intolerance is a common digestive condition where the body is unable to digest lactose, a natural sugar that is found in milk and dairy products. During a normal digestion, lactose is broken down by an enzyme called lactase into glucose and galactose. People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough of lactase; so lactose stays in the digestive system where it is fermented by the gut bacteria resulting in the production of gases. The lack of lactase can be variable, permanent or transient, particularly in young children who often develop a temporary lactose intolerance concomitantly with an infection of the digestive tract. While some lactose intolerant individuals are unable to digest any milk product at all, some are able to tolerate it in small quantities. Thus, the severity of lactose intolerance varies from person to person. Being lactose intolerant can be very discomforting. The symptoms begin to appear 30 minutes to 3 hours after the intake of milk-based foods and unless the suffering individual is aware of his condition, he or she can get very disturbed by their occurrence. Therefore, one should watch out for these following signs which are reflective of a lactose intolerant system so that they can be prevented by alternatives to lactose-rich foods.1. Bloating Whenever the digestive tract digestive tract is under stress of any kind, bloating occurs; the abdominal area swells up and a feeling of tightness or fullness is experienced."

Typically symptoms such as gas, abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, and even vomiting will occur within 30-minutes of consuming a dairy product. Because those with lactose intolerance cannot comfortably eat foods and beverages with lactose (i.e., milk) due to the inability to produce a digestive enzyme called lactase, one can still take lactase digestive enzymes to help aid the digestion of lactose in the intestines.

"text": "\"Insurance/IVF funding Updated: May/16CANADA Although public awareness of infertility has increased in recent years, provincial and private health insurance, as well as employers, have been slow to recognize infertility as a legitimate medical problem. Provinces generally pay for the investigation of infertility and some surgeries (e.g. to remove endometriosis or repair blocked fallopian tubes); some also cover at least part of the cost of ovulation induction and/or intrauterine insemination, while only Quebec and Ontario pay for IVF. The 1993 Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies found evidence to support the use of IVF as a treatment for women with blocked fallopian tubes, and called upon the provinces to fund it under these circumstances, while also providing IVF – as controlled trials, rather than as 'treatment' – for other causes of infertility (e.g. endometriosis, male factor, etc.) in order to ascertain its safety and efficacy in those situations. However, the only result of this recommendation was the 1994 decision by Ontario to stop funding IVF except for women with bi-lateral blocked fallopian tubes, whereas prior to that date, Ontario had paid for all IVF. Over the years, patients in various provinces have tried meeting with their MP and/or MPP, and some have also started petitions to secure more funding under medicare. One Nova Scotia couple appealed their province’s refusal to fund any IVF all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada without success. Other than Quebec (which started paying for IVF in 2010), and a promise (in April/14) by the Ontario government to start paying for 1 cycle of IVF in 2015, there has been no significant change in the level to which infertility treatment is funded. This situation seems unlikely to change for the better in the foreseeable future, given the current problems with the economy, and the ever-increasing demands on our healthcare system which already consume more than 45% of each province’s total annual budget and are growing at a clearly unsustainable rate. As a result, patients must often bear significant costs in order to access treatment."

In 2008, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine released a revised definition of infertility. Infertility is a disease, defined by the failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. Earlier evaluation and treatment may be justified based on medical history and physical findings and is warranted after 6 months for women over age 35. How to choose a fertility specialist for testing and infertility treatment If you are being treated, or considering seeking infertility treatment, it is appropriate to start with either a good general gynecologist or with an infertility specialist - also referred to as a reproductive endocrinologist. Some general gynecologists are very good at the initial fertility evaluation and very basic infertility treatment. However, you should know about your doctor's training and experience. Many women think they are being treated by a fertility specialist when they are not You should know whether your doctor is a fellowship trained fertility specialist If you do not know, ask whether he/she did a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility A fellowship is 3 additional years of specialized infertility training after the doctor completes 4 years of Obstetrics and Gynecology residency training If your physician is a general gynecologist, you should ask at what point he/she will refer you to an infertility specialist. In general, you should be referred to a fertility specialist either immediately - or after up to 6-12 months of treatment with the gynecologist. This will also depend on the female partner's age and the cause of the infertility."

Because of the complexity of the process, couples often use a surrogate agency to find a surrogate and guide the process. Typical costs: A surrogate pregnancy typically costs about $60,000. Most programs do not charge a flat fee, but instead charge administrative fees and collect other fees that the prospective parents agree to pay, such as a surrogate fee, a health insurance premium for the surrogate, a maternity clothing stipend and other expenses. The total cost typically includes a fee of between $13,000 and $25,000 for the surrogate's services, as well as an added fee of about $2,500 to $7,000 in case of a multiple birth or C-section; this can be negotiable with the surrogate, which can change the total cost substantially. For example, the International Assisted Reproduction Center in Maple Grove, Minnesota, which estimates total costs of $60,000, charges administrative fees of $16,000 -- payable in an initial installment of $8,000 and two more of $4,000 -- with the rest of the expenses varying on a case-by-case basis. The agency estimates, as part of the total along with its own fees, $13,000 to $25,000 for the surrogate's services. In addition to the administrative fees and surrogate fee, typical expenses that make up total cost include: $10,000 to $15,000 for IVF screening and procedures; $2,000 to $10,000 for legal fees, and $4,000 -6,000 to provide a stipend, maternity clothes and support group meetings for the surrogate. To minimize legal complexity, the recommended approach is gestational surrogacy, in which an embryo or embryos are created -- either with sperm and eggs from the prospective mother and father, or anonymous donors -- and implanted in the surrogate using in vitro fertilization (IVF). The International Assisted Reproduction Center offers an overview of gestational surrogacy."

[ 1] These multiple follicles can be taken out by oocyte retrieval (egg collection) for use in in vitro fertilisation (IVF), or be given time to ovulate, resulting in superovulation which is the ovulation of a larger-than-normal number of eggs, [2] generally in the sense of at least two. When ovulated follicles are fertilised in vivo, whether by natural or artificial insemination, there is a very high risk of a multiple pregnancy. In contrast, when referring to treating menstrual disorders, such as oligoovulation or anovulation, the preferred term is ovulation induction.

Personal Finance 2/06/2014 @ 3:00PM 418,012 views The Cost of IVF: 4 Things I Learned While Battling Infertilityby Jennifer Gerson Uffalussy When I found out that I was a carrier for the single-gene genetic disorder Tay-Sachs, a degenerative neurological condition that is fatal for children born with it, there was absolutely nothing to worry about…unless my husband was also a carrier. The odds of that in my case, I had been told, were “one in a million,” so I wasn’t terribly concerned. So my heart skipped a beat when I saw I had a missed call on my cell phone from my reproductive endocrinologist two weeks after my husband had finally gotten tested. “You can imagine my surprise,” she began, “when Matt’s test results came across my desk this morning … and he’s a Tay-Sachs carrier. ”That’s when I found out I would be one of more than 85,000 women in the U. S. annually who undergo in-vitro fertilization, or IVF, as a way to create a family. Utilizing IVF and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or PGD, the team of doctors and embryologists at our infertility practice would be able to create embryos, and then biopsy those embryos to ensure that only those not affected by Tay-Sachs were among those selected to create a pregnancy. As I began researching IVF, I also dove into the financial details of the treatment. Unraveling the seemingly foreign language of clinical terminology and insurance verbiage can be a heavy added stress on a patient struggling with infertility; I offer the below as an introduction to anyone also beginning this process."

A: An infertility specialist is a physician who has completed specialty training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and has spent two to three years studying and specializing in infertility treatment. Patients should seek a physician who is board certified in reproductive endocrinology and infertility for their infertility care. Q: When should we leave the care of our Ob/Gyn to seek assistance from a reproductive endocrinologist? A: This is somewhat difficult to answer, as the interest and skills of Ob/Gyns for infertility vary greatly. Ob/Gyns should know the limits of their infertility interests and skills and suggest referral when they no longer have workable solutions. Your Ob/Gyn should be able to get you through the basic infertility work up (HSG, semen analysis, temperature charts). Some use medical therapy such as Clomid/Serophene well; some do not. If you are uncomfortable with your infertility treatment plan, it is time to move on. If you are comfortable, the Ob/Gyn should be able to take you through the use of Clomid/Serophene."

"text": "What Fertility Treatment Costs According to the most recent available survey conducted in 2006 by ASRM (the American Society for Reproductive Medicine), the average cost of a comprehensive IVF Cycle in the US was $12,400. Medications typically averaged another $3,500 - $7,000, depending on several variables such as how much medication was required to generate the desired response to the drug and how the pharmacy packaged the medications. At the time of that survey, the approximate cost of a typical IVF Cycle was $17,150. Escalating Costs Since the survey, medical costs have escalated considerably, making the cost of infertility treatment even more expensive. Multiple factors are driving these increases: first, the cost of infertility drugs alone has increased more than 107 % in just the last seven years (source: Medi Span), increasing medication costs to as much as $7,000 per average cycle. Second, advances in the treatment of infertility have seen many breakthroughs, and new (and costly) technologies have been introduced (e.g., Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and Screening (PGD, PGS) and Gender Selection/Microsort, Embryo Scope, CCS, Egg Freezing, etc.) so that treatment options have expanded, along with the treatment price tag. In fact, depending on the additional procedures utilized, the price increases in fertility-specific medications and specific geographic location, the current average cost of treatment is approximately $18,500, but can even exceed $30,000 for a single IVF Cycle. WINFertility's Simpler, Discounted Pricing Because fertility treatment is complex, there can be over 40 different tasks, procedures and tests that can be involved in treating infertility including a variety of office visits, diagnostics, surgical procedures, and several classifications of IVF cycles that may include ICSI, Assisted Hatching, Blastocyst Cultures and assorted others. Each fertility practice determines their own set of unique protocols and prices, making ‘apples-to-apples’ comparisons very difficult."

"text": "HEALTH NEWSFact Checked Little Miracles Can Cost Big: The Economics of In-Vitro Fertilization For couples struggling with infertility, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) can seem miraculous, but a bundle of joy conceived using this specialized technique can end up costing a bundle. After Heather had two unsuccessful intrauterine inseminations (IUI), she decided to try conceiving a child via IVF. Before she started taking medications to begin the process, however, she owed approximately $15,000 to the fertility center—upfront. “That’s a large sum of money, even for people who are financially stable,” recalls Heather, of Alexandria, Va., who asked not to be identified by her last name. She is now nearly two months pregnant with twins after one round of IVF. Couples who choose this option know it's expensive and that it can take a few rounds to be successful—if it works at all. And even the best insurance policies do not always provide coverage. Heather and her husband were fortunate because her parents lent them $10,000 to help offset the costs. Though she never wanted to accept the loan, she said putting out the money for the procedure would have left her and her husband without much of a financial safety net. They accepted the offer and have begun paying her parents back."

Basic IVF can be as much as $15,000 or may be as low as $10,000. It's rarely lower than that. These numbers do not include the cost of medications, which may be as low as $1,500 or as high as $3,000 per cycle. One study asked couples at a fertility clinic to track all their out-of-pocket expenses over a period of 18 months. This included what they paid for the IVF itself, as well as medications and monitoring. The average couple spent $19,234. For every additional cycle, couples spent on average an additional $6,955. So, according to this study, if a couple went through three cycles, that added up to a little over $33,000 in out-of-pocket expenses."

IVF is the most successful method of fertility treatment utilized today to help couples to conceive. The basic components of the IVF process include stimulation of the ovaries to produce multiple eggs at a time, removal of the eggs from the ovary (egg retrieval), fertilization of the eggs in the laboratory, and subsequent placement of the resulting embryos into the uterus (embryo transfer). The chance of pregnancy from IVF depends primarily on the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and factors related to the quality of the IVF laboratory. Affordable In Vitro Fertilization - IVF Treatment Cost - Choose Doctor IUI is a procedure during which processed and concentrated motile sperm are inserted directly into a woman’s uterus. This procedure is timed according to a woman’s ovulation, and may be performed one to two times in the days immediately following the detection of ovulation. After ovulation a woman’s egg is picked up by the fallopian tube and waits there for the sperm. Since the IUI procedure deposits higher concentrations of good quality sperm close to where the egg is waiting, the chances that the egg and sperm will find one another are increased."

In vitro fertilisation Illustrated schematic of IVF with single-sperm injection ( ICSI )Synonyms IVFICD-10-PCS 8E0ZXY1Me SH D005307 [ edit on Wikidata]In vitro fertilisation ( IVF) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro (\"\"in glass\"\"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilised egg ( zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, and is then transferred to the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy. IVF is a type of assisted reproductive technology used for infertility treatment and gestational surrogacy, in which a fertilised egg is implanted into a surrogate's uterus, and the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate. Some countries banned or otherwise regulate the availability of IVF treatment, giving rise to fertility tourism. Restrictions on availability of IVF include costs and age to carry a healthy pregnancy to term. IVF is mostly attempted if less invasive or expensive options have failed or are unlikely to work. The first successful birth of a child after IVF treatment, Louise Brown, occurred in 1978."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:32Back To Criminal Defense Video Help Page A good Orlando defense attorney understands the strategic uses of motions in limine. When used correctly, these motions can protect clients from having to endure evidence that will unfairly inflame the emotions of the jury against them. A motion in limine seeks to exclude prejudicial evidence, thereby allowing the jury to form decisions based on impartial facts and evidence. Motions in limine may also be used to obtain an advance ruling on the admissibility of evidence. As a Florida criminal defense lawyer, I can also tell you that there are right ways and wrong ways to file these motions. They should be filed selectively and reasonably. Too many generic motions will likely frustrate the judge, which could lead the court to discredit the motions. Speak with an experienced Florida attorney at our firm today."

Sound more professional with 855 numbers855 is the start of a toll free number, just like 800. A prefix of 855 represents calls that are paid for by the recipient, rather than the caller. When people think of toll free calling, they usually think of 800 numbers, but there are many other options that function in the same way. Why choose an 855 prefix?"

"text": "\"How do 800 Toll-Free Numbers work? Toll-free numbers are numbers that begin with one of the following three-digit codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833. Toll-free numbers allow callers to reach businesses and or individuals without being charged for the call, the business can be located globally. The charge for using a toll-free number is paid by the called party (the toll-free subscriber / Business owner) instead of the calling party. Toll-free numbers can be forwarded directly to your business or personal telephone number in any country on any device/phone using 800.com . Toll-Free numbers are very common and have proven successful for businesses, particularly in the areas of customer service and telemarketing. Toll-free service provides potential customers and others with a “free” and convenient way to contact businesses. US consumers are seven times more likely to call a Toll-Free number than a traditional local number when doing business with an out-of-state business and US consumers have a higher sense of confidence when a business has a Toll-Free number. Toll-free numbers are also increasingly popular for personal use. For example, parents can obtain toll-free numbers to give to a young adult who is away at college, allowing that young adult to call home anytime without having to make a collect call or pay for the call in addition to posting ADs on sites such as www.ebay.com, www.amazon.com, or http://www.craigslist.org sites."

Flag Where in North America is area code 866? Answer by, Linc Mad Confidence votes 41.6KIn North America (USA, Canada, etc. ), area code 866 is used for toll-free calls. It is a non-geographic code, meaning the person on the other end of the call could be located anywhere in the world. There is no way to determine the location of a particular 866 number. Although toll-free calls do not incur any long distance charges, and are free from landline phones and pay phones, airtime charges will usually still apply for calls from mobile phones (cell phones). The toll-free codes in North America are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844, with 833 and 822 reserved for future toll-free use.191 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

It was Idaho's sole area code until 2017, when 986 was added as an overlay for the entire state. Because of its small population, Idaho was among a declining number of North American jurisdictions with only one area code. It is also one of the few whole-state area codes split between multiple LATAs —Southern Idaho (centered in Boise and spilling into Nevada, Wyoming and Malheur County, Oregon) and Coeur d'Alene (spilling into Montana and Washington ). Additionally, the Spokane, Washington LATA spills into central Idaho. In 2001, the Federal Communications Commission projected the 208 area code would be exhausted in 2003. Due to the multi-LATA structure of 208, several numbers in Montana's 406, Wyoming's 307, northern Nevada's 775, eastern Oregon's 541 and eastern Washington's 509 weren't available for use. The number shortage was exacerbated by the proliferation of cell phones and pagers, particularly in urban areas. However, in 2002 the IPUC was able to successfully delay a split by implementing number pooling in Boise; this was later applied in 2007 to the rest of Idaho to stave off projected exhaustion in 2010.

Find out how this test helps doctors to identify \"\"invisible illnesses\"\" that cause chronic pain and other symptoms and learn what your test results mean. Purpose of the Test The ANA blood test is often used to detect the presence of autoimmune disorders such as Lupus (American Association for Clinical Chemistry). ANA stands for antinuclear antibody, which is an autoantibody that works against the cell nucleus and its contents. Everyone has autoantibodies in low levels, but some people have autoantibodies in higher than normal concentrations. Some of these people can develop autoimmune disorders (Web MD). In this test, lab technicians determine the pattern and concentration of autoantibodies in the blood. The normal titer of antinuclear antibody is 1:40; higher titers of this autoantibody can indicate that a person is affected by an autoimmune diseases. Some of the conditions that can cause a high ANA titer include Lupus, scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis (Web MD). Why the Test is Ordered According to the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, the ANA blood test is ordered when someone exhibits the signs and symptoms of an autoimmune disorder."

"text": "ANA Testing The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is commonly used to look for autoantibodies that attack components of your cells’ nucleus, or “command” center, triggering autoimmune disorders like lupus. 95% of people with lupus test positive for ANA, but a number of other, non-lupus causes can trigger a positive ANA, including infections and other autoimmune diseases. The ANA test simply provides another clue for making an accurate diagnosis. For patients with a positive ANA, more tests are usually performed to check for other antibodies that can help confirm the diagnosis. This series of tests, commonly called an ANA panel, checks for the following antibodies: anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-Smith, anti-U1RNP, anti-Ro/SSA, and anti-La/SSB. Some laboratories also include other antibodies in their panel, including antinucleoprotein, anticentromere, or antihistone. Doctors use these supplemental tests in conjunction with a person’s clinical history to help diagnose or rule out other autoimmune disorders. Specifically, they look for signs of inflammation, active lupus, active autoimmune disease, and kidney problems. Laboratory tests for lupus include: Complete blood count (CBC)Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)Urinalysis Blood chemistries Complement levels Antinuclear antibody test (ANA)Anticardiolipin antibody test (blood clotting)See a term you don't understand?

And unlike some other diseases, it cannot be diagnosed with a single lab test. However, when certain clinical criteria are met, lab tests can help confirm a diagnosis of lupus. Blood work and other tests can also help monitor the disease and show the effects of treatment. Web MD takes a look at the uses and limitations of the tests that are commonly used to diagnose and monitor lupus. Blood Tests for Lupus Antinuclear Antibody (ANA)What it is: ANA is a type of antibody directed against the cells' nuclei. Why the test is used: ANA is present in nearly everybody with active lupus. Doctors often use the ANA test as a screening tool. Plus, looking at patterns of the antibodies can sometimes help doctors determine the specific disease a person has. That, in turn, helps determine which treatment would be most appropriate."

How many of you never actually understood the science and reason behind seronegativity? How many of you don’t even know what Seronegative means? A Lesson in Seronegativity: ANA, Rheumatoid Factor, CRP and ESR. When I was first diagnosed, I was told I had Seronegative Autoimmune Disease, most likely Rheumatoid Arthritis (though others still remain in the mix). I was told that 70 years ago this disease was a life sentence and crippled and killed its victims, but now there were treatments and remission. I thought within a few month’s time and with some pills, I’d be better. I took it head on."

"text": "Lab Tests for Lupus In this Article Blood Tests for Lupus Urine Tests for Lupus Lupus is a difficult disease to diagnose, because its symptoms can be vague. And unlike some other diseases, it cannot be diagnosed with a single lab test. However, when certain clinical criteria are met, lab tests can help confirm a diagnosis of lupus. Blood work and other tests can also help monitor the disease and show the effects of treatment. Web MD takes a look at the uses and limitations of the tests that are commonly used to diagnose and monitor lupus. Blood Tests for Lupus Antinuclear Antibody (ANA)What it is: ANA is a type of antibody directed against the cells' nuclei. Why the test is used: ANA is present in nearly everybody with active lupus. Doctors often use the ANA test as a screening tool. Plus, looking at patterns of the antibodies can sometimes help doctors determine the specific disease a person has. That, in turn, helps determine which treatment would be most appropriate."

"text": "Blood tests to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis Although blood tests cannot give a firm rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, they can help doctors and specialist rheumatologists narrow down clues in the blood about arthritis and inflammation. What blood markers are used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid factors are a variety of antibodies that are present in seventy to ninety percent of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However a low level of rheumatoid factor can be found in people without rheumatoid arthritis or with other autoimmune disorders. In general, when no rheumatoid factor is present in someone with rheumatoid arthritis, the course of the disease is less severe. A new test for rheumatoid arthritis, which measures levels of antibodies that bind citrulline modified proteins (anti-CCP), is more specific and tends to be only elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or in patients about to develop rheumatoid arthritis. The presence of anti-CCP antibodies can be used to predict which patients will get more severe rheumatoid arthritis. Are there tests to determine inflammation? Yes. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed."

Have a look!Tagged Under: Blood Tests Advertisement Before understanding what is the ANA blood test and its meaning, let us first discuss what the term ANA means itself. ANA is the abbreviation for the term Anti Nuclear Antibody. An ANA blood test is done in order to determine the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies in your blood. Antibodies are nothing but the proteins that help to fight against infections caused due to attack of viruses and bacteria. However, due to a confusion or misdirection, the immune system of your body may end up producing anti-nuclear antibodies that may end up attacking the healthy tissues of your own body, considering them to be a foreign element! This is known as an Autoimmune Reaction. The presence of these anti-nuclear antibodies can be detected by the ANA blood test and may indicate the presence of an autoimmune disease in the body. However, at times, certain chronic infections and health conditions can also be the cause."

Antinuclear antibodies, usually called ANA, are found in a disease called systemic lupus (lew-pus) erythematosus (ery-theem-uh toe-sus) and other autoimmune diseases. Systemic lupus erythematosus is often called SLE, or simply lupus. There is a blood test to find if you have antinuclear antibodies. The job of the immune system is to make antibodies to protect your body against disease. Antibodies are blood proteins that find and destroy material produced by infections. An autoantibody attacks your own body causing an autoimmune (au-toe ih mewn) disease. Why do I need it? The symptoms of SLE may imitate other diseases. Any organ of your body can be the target of autoantibodies."

You may need to take multiple blood tests to confirm a diagnosis. RA is most common in women 40 to 60 years old, but men can also develop this condition. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a type of autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joints. This leads to painful joints, and weakened tendons and ligaments. The areas of the body that RA can affect include:skineyeslungsheartblood vessels Early stage symptoms of RA can look like symptoms of other conditions.

"text": "Michael O’Sullivan Andrew Mc Lean-Tooke Richard KS Loh This article forms part of our ‘Tests and results’ series for 2013, which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is widely used as a serological marker of autoimmune disease. Antinuclear antibodies are immunoglobulins or antibodies that bind to one or more antigens expressed within the nucleus of human cells. Used selectively, the ANA test can be a useful laboratory tool to help confirm or exclude the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic disease. However, the relatively high prevalence of ANAs in other inflammatory conditions, as well as healthy individuals, can make a positive result difficult to interpret. How is the test performed? Although many methods are available for ANA detection, the indirect immunofluorescence antinuclear antibody test (IF-ANA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA)/enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are commonly used. Indirect IF-ANA involves incubating patient serum on a slide covered with a monolayer of cells from a malignant human epithelial cell line. These malignant cells are ideal for the ANA test as they have large nuclei in different stages of the cell cycle. The slides are washed and any remaining antibodies bound to cell nuclei are then visualised using a detection antibody binding human immunoglobulin which has been conjugated to a fluorescent tag."

I'm beginning to understand the benefits of an aft cabin boat and that is changing my search a bit. If I understand correctly, the aft cabin will usually be more comfortable because of the action of the boat and the size of the cabin/bed. I see some with the bed port/starboard and some with the bed bow to stern. I've also seen a few where the bed is in the center and it looks as though when heeling with two people in it, one could fall off. Lol. I've also looked at the O'Day 39' now, which has a center cockpit, and I REALLY like the layout. Having the privacy to the rear when desired is pretty cool, especially if sailing with guests, a crew of one or more, or with kids (I have two boys who might join me now and then. I also thought about renting out a stateroom when moored in Vancover/LA. So while I don't NEED the privacy all the time, I like it."

There is no industry-wide standard for the difference between super-yacht and mega-yacht. The only legal distinction is between yachts above 24 metres (79 ft) and below, as in some countries those above 24 meters must have a permanent crew onboard. [ 1]Christina O of Aristotle Onassis This term began to appear at the beginning of the 20th century, when wealthy individuals constructed large private yachts for personal pleasure, such as Charles Henry Fletcher 's Jemima F. III, at 111 feet, the largest motor-powered yacht in the world in 1908. [ 2] More examples of early luxury motor yachts include the Cox & King yachts, Charles L.

As of September 2015, the line controls a 17% share of the world cruise market, with 23 cruise ships in service and other three on order. All vessels under the Royal Caribbean brand have had their names ending with \"\"of the Seas\"\" since 1991.

The 154,407-ton, 3,634-passenger Independence of the Seas underwent a US$7 million upgrade in April 2013 as part of Royal Caribbean's bigger USD 300 million investment in the fleet. The new features included an Italian trattoria named Giovanni's Table, a cupcake shop and Royal Babies & Tots Nursery. The ship also got new digital signage, Wi-Fi throughout and a large poolside movie screen. An excellent addition are the digital way finding systems, especially for first-time-cruisers who get lost on enormous ships like this one. They offer directions and maps to everywhere on the Independence using a board with a keypad on which passengers can enter their room numbers and find their way to the stateroom."

During inclement weather, a glass dome slides closed to keep the weather out. Of course, during most of the cruise it is open to take advantage of the warm Caribbean atmosphere. Here's a great shot I'm very proud of... the Carnival Glory sailing out of the Port Of Miami. Stop and think for a moment... how was I able to get this shot?!? It's a simple answer, actually.

Incorporated in 1996 as Magical Cruise Company Ltd., the company is domiciled in London, UK with operational headquarters in Celebration, Florida. Currently, Disney Cruise Line operates four ships: Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. Disney Cruise Line also owns the private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, designed as an exclusive port of call for its ships. In 2012, it was estimated Disney Cruise Lines owns nearly 3% share of worldwide cruise market. Actually, Disney Cruise Line was created after in 1995 the Walt Disney Company commissioned Disney Wonder and Disney Magic from Fincantieri (Italy), ending the arrangement with Premier Cruise Line for its vacation packages' maritime segment. Disney had previously contracted Premier Cruise Line to provide cruises in the 1980s, also sailing out of Port Canaveral.

Their 36 Aft Cabin model, produced from 1978 until 1994, offers used boat buyers sound construction, separate accommodations for two couples, excellent cruising range and some bargain prices for buyers willing to invest their own labor refurbishing an older model. The Albin 36 was introduced in 1978 and quickly found a market of eager buyers who found the Grand Banks 36 out of their price range. Like her competitors, the 36's hull form is what is termed semi-displacement meaning that, given enough power, speeds above those typical of round-bilged, full displacement hulls can be achieved. With these designs, the intersection of the hull side and bottom meet at sharp angle forming a chine and there are deeply v-shaped sections forward gradually decreasing in angle until the bottom of the hull is quite flat at the transom. There is a keel that runs nearly the full length of the bottom. Photo: New Style – Don Martin Although the Albin 36 hull is fiberglass, plank seams have been molded into the hull sides to simulate traditional wood plank construction. Adding to the traditional appearance, there are teak companionway doors and hatches. All cabin windows are trimmed in teak as well as teak cap rails, handrails and teak overlaid decks. There is no denying that that this is a handsome boat, albeit at the cost keeping up with the maintenance of all the exterior woodwork."

She is the latest addition to the Silversea fleet and is the most elegant cruise ship afloat Arturo Paniagua Mazorra (October 22, 2002)Silversea Cruises Marzia Lefebvre, wife of the Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre, christened her on June 18th, 2001 in Genoa. Between the christening events, a charity soccer match between F-1 drivers and Italian singers was held. The ship began her first cruise, a voyage between Civitavecchia and London, on July 2nd, 2001. She and her sister Silver Shadow, delivered one year before, were part of the development project of the Fort Lauderdale based owners, which increased the line's capacity by 130%. Each ship was nearly twice the size of the Silversea's first vessels, the smaller and highly acclaimed Silver Cloud and Silver Wind. A New Concept in Luxury The Silver Whisper followed an industrywide trend (in the luxury end segment of the market) towards larger ships with more passenger capacity, and also, with the potential for more revenue due to scaled economies. The other luxury operators, such as Radisson and Crystal, also ordered larger ships, plenty of suites with balconies, and that trend redefined the concept of the luxury segment, previously identified with yacht like ships, such as the Sea Goddess pair, or the Seabourn trio. Today, the new generation luxury cruise ships are far more likely to carry between 400 to 1,000 passengers, featuring tonnage of around 40,000 tons G. R. T. So, after much toing and froing, Silversea ordered two new ships on May 1998. Measuring a comfortable 28,258 G. R. T., the 182 m long pair have a capacity for only 388 passengers, giving Silver Whisper and her sister Silver Shadow the highest passenger space ratio in the world."

The Blackfin 29 is one of these. More surprising is that despite their modest size, Blackfin’s reputation is that of a truly capable blue water sportfishing machine, which sets these boats apart from the crowd and keeps used models in high demand. The Blackfin 29 was introduced in 1983 and remained in production until 1998 when the company fell on hard economic times and closed. The design makes few concessions for cruising comfort and accommodations but is rather singularly focused on features most desired by serious fishermen. Two separate models were offered — the 29 Combi, an open fisherman with a single helm at deck level, and the 29 Flybridge (pictured), with an enclosed cabin and flybridge. Both models share the same hull, with principal dimensions of 29’ 4” length on deck and a beam of 10’ 6”. A bow pulpit increases the overall length to 32’ 6” and provides a convenient platform for anchor handling and storage. The Blackfin 29 is built to withstand the punishment that can be dished out by both anglers and the sea. The hull is hand-laid and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is excellent."

Hillman reports that archetypal psychology emerged partly from the Jungian tradition whilst drawing also from other traditions and authorities such as Henry Corbin, Vico and Plotinus. Archetypal psychology relativizes and deliteralizes the notion of ego and focuses on what it calls the psyche, or soul, and the deepest patterns of psychic functioning, \"\"the fundamental fantasies that animate all life\"\" (Moore, in Hillman, 1991). Archetypal psychology likens itself to a polytheistic mythology in that it attempts to recognize the myriad fantasies and myths – gods, goddesses, demigods, mortals and animals – that shape and are shaped by our psychological lives. In this framework the ego is but one psychological fantasy within an assemblage of fantasies. Archetypal psychology is, along with the classical and developmental schools, one of the three schools of post-Jungian psychology outlined by Andrew Samuels (see Samuels, 1995).

"text": "\"Analytical Psychology When you read about analytic psychology, Carl Jung's name is always associated with it. The term 'psychoanalyst' is currently used to cover all those facts and theories presented in the works of Freud, Jung, and Adler. However it is often recommended that it should be applied only to the theory and practice of Freud and his disciples, and that the theory and practice of Jung should be designated 'Analytical Psychology', and that the theory and practice of Adler should be designated 'Individual Psychology'.' Psychoanalysis' in this broader sense covers both a set of theories and a set of practices. Analytic psychology is the analysis of the human mind, psyche and the unconscious, as well as the conscious components of the mind. It is thought that man's behavior and his conscious states can be explained only by unconscious sources of motivation. What is common in the practice of the psychoanalytic schools is the use of special techniques for bringing these unconscious factors into light. The practice of psychoanalysis has grown out of the treatment of mental illness. In one sense, the practice of psychoanalysis is prior to the theories, since the theories first were developed from experiences from therapeutic practice. These theories have, however, been extended and enriched by material derived from other sources."

Jung theorized that the dominant function characterizes consciousness, while its opposite is repressed and characterizes unconscious behavior. The eight psychological types are as follows: Extraverted sensation Introverted sensation Extraverted intuition Introverted intuition Extraverted thinking Introverted thinking Extraverted feeling Introverted feeling In Psychological Types, Jung describes in detail the effects of tensions between the complexes associated with the dominant and inferior differentiating functions in highly and even extremely one-sided types."

Jung was Freud‟s student who gradually detached from Freudian psychoanalysis and created his own theory and school in 1911, thus becoming alienated from Freud and his circle (De Laszlo, 1959). Although Analytical Psychology started as a school of psychoanalysis, it has become part of what is called depth psychology and transpersonal (originally a Jungian term). Depth psychology is an area of psychology that stands between the psychodynamic and the humanistic theories, while transpersonal is even more humanistic, esoteric, and metaphysical (Slattery & Corbett, 2004). Today, Depth psychology is very popular, though still severely criticized by the mainstream academia for being too esoteric and also for Jung‟s tendency to be too flexible with his ideas and give different definitions of his theoretical concepts from time to time. Jung‟s answer was that this is actually good, since his style reflected the ever-changing world of psychological phenomena and made him even more credible for being adaptable, observant, and sensitive to this world of psychological phenomena (Fadiman & Frager, 2002). Today, we can talk about the classic Jungian tradition and a number of Post-Jungian theories; the last one may not be discussed in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to offer a brief overview of the basic tenets of Jung‟s Analytical Psychology. This discussion will be divided into four sections: the view of human nature, the theory of healthy personality, the theory of conflict (dysfunction) and the theory of counseling (central constructs of the Counseling Process). It should be noted that the emphasis is not in a discussion of psychotherapeutic techniques, but Jung‟s life philosophy and theoretical orientation and how it could be implemented in modern counseling."

Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875-June6, 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of the neopsychoanalytic school of psychology. For a time, Jung was Freud 's heir-apparent in the psychoanalytic school. After the publication of Jung's Symbols of Transformation ( 1912 ), Jung and Freud endured a painful parting of ways: Jung seemed to feel confined by what he believed was Freud's narrow, reductionistic, and rigid view of libido. Jung was wary of founding a 'school' of psychology , and his co-workers recall many occasions on which he made statements along the lines of \"\"thank God I am Jung and not a Jungian.\"\" This being the case, the term 'Jungian' is a bit of a misnomer. Jung himself preferred the term ' analytical psychology '. Central to analytical psychology is encounter with the unconscious. The result is greater adaptation to reality (both inner and outer), and more developed consciousness ."

While Freud did not distinguish between an \"\"individual psychology\"\" and a \"\"collective psychology\"\", Jung strayed away from the master distinguishing the collective unconscious from the personal unconscious, which would be particular to each human being. The collective unconscious refers to that part of a person's unconscious which is common to all human beings. It contains archetypes, which are forms or symbols that are manifested by all people in all cultures. Less mystical proponents of the Jungian model hold that the collective unconscious can be adequately explained as arising in each individual from shared instinct, common experience, and shared culture. The natural process of generalization in the human mind combines these common traits and experiences into a mostly identical substratum of the unconscious . For example, the archetype of \"\"the great mother\"\" would be expected to be very nearly the same in all people, since all infants share inherent expectation of having an attentive caretaker (human instinct); every surviving infant must either have had a mother, or a surrogate (common experience); and nearly every child is indoctrinated with society's idea of what a mother should be (shared culture). The amalgam of all these effects could be the source of the shared figure, or archetype, which appears very nearly the same in most persons' dreams . Regardless of whether the individual's connection to the collective unconscious arises from mundane or mystical means, the term collective unconscious describes an important commonality that is observed to exist between different individuals' dreams. It was simply formulated by Jung as a model."

Some believe that because Jung’s father was a Lutheran pastor that Jung too was a Christian. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Jung himself admitted privately to being a Gnostic and to borrowing elements of his thinking from ancient Gnosticism. Apparently a man for all seasons, Jung read Latin, Greek, German, English, and French.

For counseling or clinical psychologists, practice usually begins as an unlicensed therapist in a hospital, clinic, or established practice. This provides experience without the often prohibitive expense associated with starting out independently. Much of the initial expense in an independent practice is attributed to the cost of paying a licensed psychologist to observe the graduate in practice for the 3000 hours required for psychology licensure . In a clinical setting, licensed psychologists are readily available to observe recent graduates until the time licensure is granted. Starting out in an established practice also allows a therapist the opportunity to establish a client base. Through the course of treating patients and getting word of mouth referrals, a psychologist may develop enough of a following to venture into an independent practice. What opportunities are there for exposure to psychology in practice to see if it’s a good fit? Because of the level of privacy that is granted to those who seek treatment form a psychologist, job shadowing in an effort to gain exposure to the work is not typically an option as it is in many other professions."

In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior. In philosophy, archetypes since Plato at least, refer to ideal forms of the perceived or sensible things or types. In the analysis of personality, the term archetype is often broadly used to refer to a stereotype—personality type observed multiple times, especially an oversimplification of such a type, an epitome—personality type exemplified, especially the \"\"greatest\"\" such example, or a literary term to express details.

His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. As a notable research scientist based at the famous Burghölzli hospital, under Eugen Bleuler, he came to the attention of the Viennese founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. The two men conducted a lengthy correspondence and collaborated on an initially joint vision of human psychology. Freud saw in the younger man the potential heir he had been seeking to carry on his \"\"new science\"\" of psychoanalysis. Jung's research and personal vision, however, made it impossible for him to bend to his older colleague's doctrine and a schism became inevitable. This division was personally painful, and was to have historic repercussions lasting well into the modern day. Jung was also an artist, craftsman and builder as well as a prolific writer."

Ænima is the name of the album. The song expresses hate for stereotypical Hollywood, Los Angeles, etc. - all the fake people, the misguided life focus, the absurd amount of worry over menial things that Maynard so kindly has listed quite orderly in the song.

"text": "\"Jung - Hitler and Wotan HITLER and WOTANCarl G Jung Carl G Jung Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of the 'extroverted' and the 'introverted' personality, 'archetypes', and the 'collective unconscious'. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, literature, and related fields. Individuation is the central concept of analytical psychology. Jung considered 'individuation', the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining their relative autonomy, to be the central process of human development. Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the 'archetype', the 'collective unconscious', the 'complex', and 'synchronicity'. Jung saw the human psyche as \"\"by nature religious\"\", and made this religiosity the focus of his explorations. Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream analysis and symbolization. Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. His interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic.___________________________________________JUNG and HITLERWith regard to Adolf Hitler Jung stated that:'Hitler seemed like the 'double' of a real person, as if Hitler the man might be hiding inside, and deliberately so concealed in order not to disturb the mechanism.... You know you could never talk to this man; because there is nobody there.... It is not an individual; it is an entire nation. '"

As Morton Kelsey wryly remarks, \"\"If spirituality has not become respectable, it has at least become popular.\"\" [ 2] For those who would call themselves \"\"spiritual but not religious\"\" there are numerous offerings in Eastern philosophy, New Age, the occult, Wicca, and so on. Similarly the amount of literature related to addictions, co-dependency, and 12-step programs is expanding rapidly. Even more recently, we have witnessed the emergence of the \"\"New Men's Movement.\"\" Various groups consider themselves the men's movement, from the National Organization of Men Against Sexism, which has held annual conferences since 1975, to fathers' rights activists.

According to Carl Gustav Jung, hell represents, among every culture, the disturbing aspect of the collective unconscious. Collective unconscious ( German: kollektives Unbewusstes ), a term coined by Carl Jung, refers to structures of the unconscious mind which are shared among beings of the same species. According to Jung, the human collective unconscious is populated by instincts and by archetypes: universal symbols such as The Great Mother, the Wise Old Man, the Shadow, the Tower, Water, the Tree of Life, and many more. Jung considered the collective unconscious to underpin and surround the unconscious mind, distinguishing it from the personal unconscious of Freudian psychoanalysis. He argued that the collective unconscious had profound influence on the lives of individuals, who lived out its symbols and clothed them in meaning through their experiences. The psychotherapeutic practice of analytical psychology revolves around examining the patient's relationship to the collective unconscious. Psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Lionel Corbett argues that the contemporary terms \"\"autonomous psyche\"\" or \"\"objective psyche\"\" are more commonly used today in the practice of depth psychology rather than the traditional term of the \"\"collective unconscious.\"\" [ 1]Critics of the collective unconscious concept have called it unscientific and fatalistic, or otherwise very difficult to test scientifically (due to the mythical aspect of the collective unconscious).

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search It has been suggested that Vowel harmony (poetry) be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since December 2016. Assonance is a resemblance in the sounds of words or syllables either between their vowels (e.g., meat, bean) or between their consonants (e.g., keep, cape ). [ 1] However, assonance between consonants is generally called consonance in American usage. [ 2] The two types are often combined, as between the words six and switch, in which the vowels are identical, and the consonants are similar but not completely identical. A special case of assonance is rhyme, in which the endings of words (generally beginning with the last stressed syllable) differ in their initial consonant, while the rest of the word is identical—as in six and mix or history and mystery. Vocalic assonance is an important element in verse. [ 3] Assonance occurs more often in verse than in prose; it is used in English-language poetry and is particularly important in Old French, Spanish, and the Celtic languages.

So the Rap Genius University series is our effort to teach you some stuff that you zoned out for during that English class where the poems were about Nature, Love, and Regret instead of Money, Cash, and Hoes. First topic – Rhyme Types. Perfect Rhyme A perfect rhyme is one in which the endings of words sound exactly the same. Perfect rhyme is the most basic kind, and was the dominant form of rhyme in the early days of rap. Now it is one of a variety of rhyme types, but is still widely used because of the strong connection it creates in lyrics, as in this verse from T. I.’s “Rubberband Man”: Tote a hundred gr and Cannon in the waistb and Assonance In assonance, words don’t have the same ending, but they share a vowel sound. The consonants surrounding the vowel sound are different, but the shared vowel sound links the words. Assonance is the most common form of rhyme in rap today because its looseness opens up many rhyming possibilities. Here’s some assonance from Jay-Z on “A Star is Born” – notice how the rhymes at the end of the lines are imperfect but work because of the shared vowel sound of “ay”: Wu-Tang gangbanged, Meth ate Rae’ took on the date with the Purple Tape Passed on to Ason and then Ghost face Bending Words Bending words are a variant on assonance, in which a rapper “bends” a word (pronounces it in an odd way) to create a shared vowel sound between two words that, when pronounced normally, have similar – but slightly different – vowel sounds. This is a common technique among southern rappers, who naturally pronounce words in a way that sounds “odd” to the Northern ear."

"text": "Rhyme, also spelled rime, the correspondence of two or more words with similar-sounding final syllables placed so as to echo one another. Rhyme is used by poets and occasionally by prose writers to produce sounds appealing to the reader’s senses and to unify and establish a poem’s stanzaic form. End rhyme (i.e., rhyme used at the end of a line to echo the end of another line) is most common, but internal, interior, or leonine rhyme is frequently used as an occasional embellishment in a poem—e.g., William Shakespeare’s “Hark; hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings,” or as part of the regular rhyme scheme: And the silken sad un certain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me— filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating: “Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.” ( Edgar Allan Poe, “The Raven”)There are three rhymes recognized by purists as “true rhymes”: masculine rhyme, in which the two words end with the same vowel–consonant combination ( stand / land ), feminine rhyme (sometimes called double rhyme), in which two syllables rhyme ( profession / discretion ), and trisyllabic rhyme, in which three syllables rhyme ( patinate / latinate ). The too-regular effect of masculine rhyme is sometimes softened by using trailing rhyme, or semirhyme, in which one of the two words trails an additional unstressed syllable behind it ( trail / failure ). Other types of rhyme include eye rhyme, in which syllables are identical in spelling but are pronounced differently ( cough / slough ), and pararhyme, first used systematically by the 20th-century poet Wilfred Owen, in which two syllables have different vowel sounds but identical penultimate and final consonantal groupings ( grand / grind ). Feminine pararhyme has two forms, one in which both vowel sounds differ, and one in which only one does ( ran in / run on; blindness / blandness ). Weakened, or unaccented, rhyme occurs when the relevant syllable of the rhyming word is unstressed ( bend / frightened )."

Alliteration is a stylistic device, or literary technique, in which successive words (more strictly, stressed syllables) begin with the same consonant sound or letter. Alliteration is a frequent tool in poetry but it is also common in prose, particularly to highlight short phrases. Especially in poetry, it contributes to euphony of the passage, lending it a musical air. It may add a humorous effect. Related to alliteration are assonance, the repetition of vowel sounds, and consonance, the repetition of consonant sounds. Alliterative verse in one form or another is shared by all of the Germanic languages."

"text": "Alliteration Definition of Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are in close proximity to each other. This repetition of sounds brings attention to the lines in which it is used, and creates more aural rhythm. In poems, alliteration can also refer to repeated consonant sound in the stressed syllables of a line. For example, in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30, we find the line “Then can I grieve at grievances foregone.” In this case, the “g” sound is alliterative in “grieve”, “grievances”, and “foregone”, since the stressed syllable in “foregone” starts with “g”. Alliteration has been used as a literary device in the English language for many hundreds of years, prevalent in works of literature all the way back to Beowulf, the eighth-century Old English poem. Alliteration is most common in poems, though it can be found in prose and drama as well. It is often used in the real world in things like nursery rhymes, famous speeches, and advertising slogans. Note that alliteration is dependent on the beginning sound and not the beginning letter. For example, “cat” is not alliterative with “choice”, but is alliterative with “kick”."

"text": "Form, structure and language Form The poem is a lyric, both in its poetic form and in the sense that the words were written to accompany a piece of music. Structure The poem has three stanzas, each consisting of six lines. The rhyme scheme is regular and follows the pattern ababab. The rhythm of the poem is highly regular. This consistent rhythm emphasises the regularity of the subject’s walk but also her faultless perfection. Working against this rhythm, Byron makes much use of enjambment. It is almost as though the speaker cannot pause for breath in trying to tell the reader about how beautiful this woman is. Language'Of cloudless climes and starry skies' is an example of alliteration The poet uses rich and varied language which draws attention to itself through literary devices such asalliteration and assonance. For instance, in the first stanza there are two examples of alliteration in the second line (‘Of c loudless c limes and s tarry s kies’) while a pattern of assonance weaves around this (the ‘i’ sounds of: ‘night’, ‘climes’, ‘skies’, ‘bright’, 'eyes', ‘light’ and ‘denies’). All but one of these words is brought to the reader’s attention by being placed at the ends of the lines."

"text": "\"REPETITIONRepetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern is a basic unifying device in all poetry. It may reinforce, supplement, or even substitute for meter, the other chief controlling factor in the arrangement of words into poetry. Primitive religious chants from all cultures show repetition developing into cadence and song, with parallelism and repetition still constituting, most frequently as anaphora, an important part in the sophisticated and subtle rhetoric of contemporary liturgies (e.g., the Beatitudes). Frequently also, the exact repetition of words in the same metrical pattern at regular intervals forms a refrain, which serves to set off or divide narrative into segments, as in ballads, or, in Iyric poetry, to indicate shifts or developments of emotion. Such repetitions may serve as commentary, a static point against which the rest of the poem develops, or it may be simply a pleasing sound pattern to fill out a form (\"\"hey downe adowne\"\"). As a unifying device, independent of conventional metrics, repetition is found extensively in free verse, where parallelism (repetition of a grammar pattern) reinforced by the recurrence of actual words and phrases governs the rhythm which helps to distinguish free verse from prose (e.g., Walt Whitman, \"\"I Hear America Singing\"\"; Carl Sandburg, Chicago, The People Yes; Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology ). The repetition of similar endings of words or even of identical syllables (rime riche) constitutes rhyme, used generally to bind lines together into larger units or to set up relationships within the same line (internal rhyme). Such repetition, as a tour de force, may be the center of interest in a poem, as Southey's \"\"The Cataract of Lodore\"\" and Belloc's \"\"Tarantella,\"\" or may play a large part in establishing the mood of a poem, as in Byron's Don Juan. Front-rhyme, or alliteration the repetition of initial sounds of accented syllables frequently supplements the use of other unifying devices, although in Old English poetry it formed the basic structure of the line and is still so employed occasionally in modern poetry, as by Gerard Manley Hopkins and in W. H. Auden's The Age of Anxiety. Alliteration also may be carried beyond the limits of a single line and may even operate in elaborate patterns throughout a poem as a counterpoint to other relationships indicated by different sorts of repetition, such as rhyme, metrical pattern, and assonance."

( December 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Consonance is a stylistic literary device identified by the repetition of identical or similar consonants in neighbouring words whose vowel sounds are different (e.g. co m ing ho m e, ho t foo t ). [ 1] Consonance may be regarded as the counterpart to the vowel-sound repetition known as assonance.

Alliteration is usually distinguished from other types of consonance in poetic analysis, and has different uses and effects. Another special case of consonance is sibilance, the use of several sibilant sounds such as /s/ and /sh/. An example is the verse from Edgar Allan Poe 's \"\" The Raven \"\": \"\"And the s ilken s ad un c ertain ru s tling of each purple curtain.\"\" ( This example also contains assonance around the \"\"ur\"\" sound.)"

A: Quick Answer To turn skin yellow, rather than orange, a person would have to eat about 10 carrots a day for a period of at least two weeks, consuming at least 51 grams of beta-carotene each day.

The skin, particularly the palms of the hands, actually turns yellow, not orange. This change in skin color fades and eventually disappears when the person's diet changes back to normal.

Joy Skipper / Getty TTo build a bigger and leaner physique, bodybuilders and average guys alike often turn to the same strategy: eating everything in sight, or “bulking,” and then burning fat, or “cutting,” by reducing calories and eating cleaner to reveal the new muscle beneath. It works, but it takes time and can cause you long-term damage on a cellular level—and it can make it very hard to stay lean over the long term. When your goal is to slash fat and build muscle as fast as possible, however, accounting for every calorie at once can condense these two phases into one superefficient “clean bulking” phase, enabling you to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously, and ultimately emerge with your best body ever. Total-body workouts Your total-body reconstruction plan Get bigger, leaner, and strong in four weeks or less. The stripped-down recipes in this meal plan are crafted for a caloric deficit with ample high-quality protein and a moderate amount of carbs that, when combined, burn fat, spur the growth of new muscle, and meet the recovery demands of high-intensity, anaerobic-based training. They also increase in nutritional value as the day progresses, allowing you to burn fat in the first part of the day and then direct the bulk of your daily nutrition to muscle growth. Try it for six weeks and see.

What is the difference between calcium oxalate and “oxalate?” What is oxalic acid? Oxalic acid (chemical formula HOOC-COOH) is a strong organic acid which is widely distributed in nature in both plants and animals. However, plants contain more than animals. The name comes from the plant Oxalis (wood sorrel) from which it was first isolated. Oxalic acid has the ability to form a strong bond with various minerals, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. When this occurs, the compounds formed are usually referred to as oxalate salts. Thus, “oxalate” usually refers to a salt of oxalic acid, one of which is calcium oxalate."

"text": "\"Garden Web Topics / Home Forums / Cooking So what is \"\"a bunch\"\"?laceyvail March 27, 2015It drives me crazy when recipes call for a bunch of asparagus or a bunch of collards. I grow my own--and I really don't know how big a bunch is. Why can't they translate it into pounds? And now I have a recipe that calls for two bunches of asparagus, which I hope to try in another month or so--if I can figure out how much I need. Email Save Comment 31 Like Comments (31)Olychick I think some recipes (as opposed to baking) aren't so fussy as to need exact measurements. Maybe a pound of asparagus would work as well as 1.5 lbs? I'd look at the store next time and maybe weigh what one of their \"\"bunches\"\" is, altho each store likely has different sizes. Sometimes bunches are bigger to try to force you to buy more (if priced by the lb), or smaller so you get less for your money (if priced by the bunch). You could also look at similar recipes and see if you see one with poundage included to give you a rough idea. Like Save March 27, 2015 at 10:04AMchas045I don't know, but I would like to make a guess and see what the pros think."

"text": "10 Detox Juice Recipes for a Fast Weight Loss Cleanse Share Pin3KThe detox juice diet has become very popular in recent years as an easier way to consume lots of nutrients without having to eat lots of whole fruits and vegetables. I first learned about juicing in the 2010 documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, which brought about a lot of awareness of the health benefits of juicing. It follows an Australian man on a juice only diet for 60 days and he ended up losing OVER 100 POUNDS! ( 1)Experts recommend you eat at least 6 to 8 servings of vegetables per day, which many people (myself included) have difficulty achieving. That’s where juicing recipes for weight loss can help fill the void. So if you struggle to get enough greens and fruits in your diet, keep reading to find out how a juicing detox can help you lose weight, eat more vegetables, and help detox your body. What is Detox Juice? Detox juice is the nutritious juice that is extracted from fruits and vegetables using different methods, including by hand or with an electric juicer. With a 3 day detox juice cleanse, you drink only juice and water for a period of time, usually for 3 days, to give your liver and digestive system time to detox. During the cleanse, aim to drink every 2 – 2 ½ hours and try to be consistent."

Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form, and others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave. Blue cheese can be eaten by itself or can be spread, crumbled or melted into or over foods. The characteristic flavor of blue cheeses tends to be sharp and salty. The smell of this food is due both to the mold and to types of bacteria encouraged to grow on the cheese: for example, the bacterium Brevibacterium linens is responsible for the smell of many blue cheeses, [1] as well as foot odor and other human body odors.

You have been warned feel free to continue. Is there anything better than wine and cheese (well except for maybe chocolate)? It seems that most of our favourite foods and beverages are produced through fermentation. But what is it about fermentation that makes it taste so good? Lets get technical for just a sec (and then we can go back to discussing food). Fermentation (the process of fermenting something) is basically taking a sugar (carbohydrate) and turning it into an acid or alcohol. This is done using fungus (yeast) or bacteria (but good ones not the ones that make you sick). Fermentation using yeast makes some of our favourite products including bread and alcohol. Yes that’s right, yeast is placed into sugar sources (like grapes, barley, apples ect) to make different types of alcohol."

I wanted to prepare this Martha Stewart recipe but unfortunately I'm not completely sure what Stilton cheese is or if there is a substitute. Is it similar to blue cheese? Parmesan?4 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Stilton is an unpressed, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) blue cheese from England. It is produced only in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire with local pasteurized cows milk. The curds are and formed into a cylindrical shape and rotated so that they naturally drain. After approximately six weeks, the cheeses are injected with Penicillium Roqueforti and aged for an additional 3-4 weeks before it is inspected and approved for sale. The cheese has a crumbly texture with flavor components that are sharp, salty and slightly tangy. Stilton is a very popular and versatile cheese that can be used either as an ingredient or eaten alone. Any good substitute for Stilton would be a somewhat harder blue cheese that can crumble well."

French blue cheese is referred to as \"\"bleu cheese.\"\" Gorgonzola is a white and blue-veined Italian pressed cheese that may range from soft (very young) to semi-hard (aged).

The short making season in Scotland meant that traditional cheeses usually required to be capable of being stored (matured) through the winter – hence the predominance of hard (matured) cheese in Scotland and Britain. At one time most farmhouses or crofts made their own cheese, but there was little financial return. Improved transportation of milk changed the scene dramatically. Today there are still more than two dozen cheese makers across Scotland, ranging front large industrial Cheddar creameries to the handful of artisan and farmhouse cheese makers. Scottish Cheddar accounts for 70-80% of the total output but other cheese types including Dunlop, Caboc and Blues are gaining in popularity. The main creameries are located at Locherbie, Stranraer and Campbeltown with smaller artisan operations on the islands of Bute, Arran, Islay, Mull, Gigha and Orkney. Some of the creameries are open to visitors and there is often an opportunity to buy from the farm shop. The advent of modern temperature controlled facilities and refrigerated transport has revived artisan cheesemaking in small creameries and farms across Scotland Restaurants and specialist cheese shops have popularised the lesser known cheeses. The larger companies such as A Mc Lelland & Son Ltd have created and marketed a range of Scottish cheeses including connoisseur cheeses to satisfy the palates of foodies anad cheese lovers around the globe."

You might be surprised at just how far you can bring your cheese. Think about it: Refrigeration is a modern invention. Before such innovation, cheesemakers made cheeses that could be held at cellar temperature for months at a time. Fresh cheeses were held in cellars for a couple of days, made strictly for immediate consumption. They'd be made up to a day ahead, though. So truly, cheeses just aren't as limited to the interior of a refrigerator as we think. It's our modern sensibilities that coerce us into believing that cheese is so perishable. It's really, just, not."

"text": "Types of Cheeses Asiago cheese is a nutty flavored cheese that hails from Europe. It is named for a region in Italy where it was first produced. This region is known as the Asiago High Plateau, which lies within the Italian Alps. Asiago cheese is produced in two forms as follows: fresh Asiago, also known as Pressato, and mature Asiago, which is called Asiago d´Allevo. Fresh Asiago has an off-white color and is milder in flavor than mature asiago. Mature asiago also has a more yellowish color and is somewhat grainy in texture. Blue cheese is a general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk, or goat's milk cheeses that have had Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue, blue-gray or blue-green mold, and carries a distinct smell. Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form and others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheese was initially produced in caves Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave. The characteristic flavor of blue cheeses tends to be sharp and a bit salty."

I took a quick glance at their list and then abruptly turned away. How many overlaps would there be if I compiled my own collection of must-have cheeses, I wondered? Surprisingly, only FOUR. Thanks to my shamefully pathetic memory, I quickly forgot all of what I saw on the Serious Eats list and promptly started my own. It took all of two minutes to compile. And I sat and thought, and thought and thought, and I felt pretty happy with what I came up with; I truly can rattle off my 13 top favorites quite quickly. After looking back at the Serious Eats list, there was only one style of cheese that I think I missed on the list, and that'd be some sort of bloomy-rinded, brie-style cheese. Whoops. Think of this as a sort of Cliffs Notes, a starting point for where to begin if you want to learn more about cheese."

"text": "\"Allergic reaction to Antibiotic Keflex (Cephalexin)?? Dreynolds Mar 29, 2007A few weeks back I had a cold that ultimately led to a sinus infection. I went to the doc and they indeed confirmed the infection, and prescribed me a 7 day dosage of Cephalexin. After 7 days, there were still some lingering symptoms of the infection, so they prescribed me another 7 day course. I am at the end of that course and the sinusitis is gone. However, just yesterday, I started itching all over and today I've noticed small, faint red bumps scattered all over my body essentially. These are, undoubtedly, the cause of the itching (though the itching is not incredibly bad). I have had an allergic reaction before to an antibiotic (don't remember what kind it was, but I was taking it for acne when I was a teenager) except that was full blown, head to toe hives that itched AWFULLY. This, so far, is just very small bumps that itch kinda like it feels when your skin gets dry. Is it unusual to have a reaction that far into an antibiotic?"

About 41 million Americans between the ages of 40 and 74 have \"\" prediabetes .\"\" Prediabetes is a condition that can be considered an early, yet potentially reversible stage of the development of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is sometimes called impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose (IGT/IFG), depending upon the test that yielded the abnormal result. In prediabetes, a person's blood sugar (glucose) levels are slightly higher than the normal range, but not high enough for a true diagnosis of diabetes. People with prediabetes have a significant risk of developing full-blown diabetes. In the Diabetes Prevention Program study, about 11% of people with prediabetes developed type II diabetes each year during the three year follow-up time of the study. Importantly, people with prediabetes generally have no symptoms of the condition. Testing for Pre Diabetes Doctors generally use one of two different blood tests to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. One is called the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) in which a person's blood glucose level is measured first thing in the morning before breakfast."

In addition to facilitating the management of your sugar levels, the monitoring of mean blood glucose also plays an important role in the prevention and diagnosis of any disease, particularly diabetes mellitus. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Function Glucose is the body's primary source of energy. It comes from carbohydrates found mainly in certain foods, such as bread, rice, pasta and candy; fruits, especially oranges, pineapple and grapefruit; as well as vegetables, like potato and squash. Once carbohydrates are digested by the body, glucose is released into the bloodstream and absorbed by the cells via insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Identification A blood test may be administered to measure the amount of glucose in your bloodstream -- either through a home test kit or medical laboratory test. Your mean blood glucose refers to the average level of glucose present in your blood and generally reads between 60 and 110 mg per deciliter or lower in healthy adults. The Facts An excessively high mean blood glucose level, or hyperglycemia, may be an indicator of hyperthyroidism, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, glucagonoma or diabetes. Conversely, an unusually low level, or hypoglycemia, may indicate hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism or insulinoma. Although readings are generally accurate, results may vary, depending on the home test kit used or the laboratory in which the test is performed."

Related Topics: Diabetes Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (2)Web MD7,995 Answers 404,961 Helpful Votes 428 Followers A. At present, the diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes is based in an arbitrary cut-off point for a normal blood sugar level. A normal sugar level is currently considered to be less than 100 mg/d L when fasting and less than 140 mg/d L two hours after eating. But in most healthy people, sugar levels are even lower. During the day, blood glucose levels tend to be at their lowest just before meals. For most people without diabetes, blood sugar levels before meals hover around 70 to 80 mg/d L. In some, 60 is normal; in others, 90. Again, anything less than 100 mg/d L while fasting is considered normal by today's standards. What's a low sugar level? It varies widely, too. Many people's sugar levels won't ever fall below 60 mg/d L, even with prolonged fasting."

"text": "Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Treatment Complications Prevention What is low blood sugar? Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, can be a dangerous condition. Low blood sugar can happen in people with diabetes who take medicines that increase insulin levels in the body. Taking too much medication, skipping meals, eating less than normal, or exercising more than usual can lead to low blood sugar for these individuals. Blood sugar is also known as glucose. Glucose comes from food and serves as an important energy source for the body. Carbohydrates — foods such as rice, potatoes, bread, tortillas, cereal, fruit, vegetables, and milk — are the body’s main source of glucose. After you eat, glucose is absorbed into your bloodstream, where it travels to your body’s cells. A hormone called insulin, which is made in the pancreas, helps your cells use glucose for energy. If you eat more glucose than you need, your body will store it in your liver and muscles or change it into fat so it can be used for energy when it’s needed later."

Recommended Hb A1c readings fall within the reference range of 6.5 to 7%. This implies that for every 100 red blood cells, 6-7 cells have glucose attached to them. Mean blood sugar levels can be better understood from the following table.

Since glucose binds slowly to Hemoglobin A (and decomposes at about the same rate), the Hb A1c count is a good indicator of average blood glucose over a period of time. The American Diabetes Association recommends an A1c of 7% (implying 7 cells out of every 100 have an appendage of blood glucose) or lower. But deciding upon a generalized “perfect blood sugar” value is impossible as this varies from person to person."

"text": "\"Pre-Diabetes Health Guide Disease Reference Medication List Encyclopedia More Q & AWhat Is It? In pre-diabetes, blood sugar levels are slightly higher than normal, but still not as high as in diabetes. If diabetes is \"\"runaway blood sugar\"\" think of pre-diabetes as blood sugar that is \"\"halfway out the door. \"\" People almost always develop pre-diabetes before they get type 2 diabetes. The rise in blood sugar levels that is seen in pre-diabetes starts when the body begins to develop a problem called \"\" insulin resistance.\"\" Insulin is an important hormone that helps you to process glucose (blood sugar). If usual amounts of insulin can't trigger the body to move glucose out of the bloodstream and into your cells, then you have insulin resistance. Once insulin resistance begins, it can worsen over time. When you have pre-diabetes, you make extra insulin to keep your sugar levels near to normal. Insulin resistance can worsen as you age, and it worsens with weight gain."

"text": "Achieving Normal Blood Sugar Levels August 9, 2013 by admin Everyone wants normal blood sugar levels. In fact, managing your blood sugar levels (also known as glucose levels) is the core focus of your diabetes self management plan. It doesn’t matter if you are focused on your diet, exercise, insulin or medications, all of these components are geared towards managing your sugar levels. The tricky part about all of this, is that every person is different. You might need more exercise than me. Alternatively, I might respond to a low carb diet, while you may prefer a vegan diet. This uniqueness is what keeps healthcare professionals from proclaiming a “one size fits all” treatment approach to diabetes. But before we get to how to control blood glucose levels, we must determine what exactly are normal blood sugar levels? It’s not as easy as you think. Again, what might be normal for you, may not be right for others."

"text": "\"Dog Blood Glucose\"\"Dog blood glucose or Dog low blood sugar levels refer to cells in the body that aren't receiving the amount of glucose needed. Cells require energy to function normally, and glucose supplied by the blood in a dog’s body is a source of energy. The level of dog blood glucose is controlled by different hormones which are secreted by the pancreas. Two of them are of primary importance, insulin and glucagon. Insulin increases the cellular consumption of glucose from the blood or helps in excretion of extra glucose, while glucagon on the other hand releases cellular glucose into the blood stream and helps in the recovery of glucose from the pelvis of the kidney. Thus, both forms of the condition i.e. dog low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or dog high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can occur. Different factors are involved in causing either condition, which should be diagnosed precisely and in a timely manner so that treatment can commence quickly. The treatment plan in either case is relatively slow depending upon the underlying cause. \"\" Facts about Dog Blood Glucose: Blood glucose or sugar is obtained from the digestion process, which circulates in the body and is supplied to cells in order to fulfill energy needs. The respiratory mechanism associated with the mitochondria of each living cell converts this sugar into energy."

Foster & Smith Print Article Email Article Not all cats with diabetes will need to be treated with insulin (some cats with mild diabetes may respond to and dietary change), but a majority of them will. The goal of treatment is to resolve the signs of the disease, maintain proper body weight, eliminate or reduce the likelihood of any complications, and provide the cat with a good quality of life. This can be accomplished by maintaining the blood glucose at an acceptable level (100-290 mg/d L; normal is 55-160 mg/d L). In addition to treating the diabetes, any other concurrent diseases such as pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, hyperthyroidism, Cushing's disease, and infections need to be treated as well. What should an owner know before trying to 'regulate' a cat with diabetes? Before treatment is started, it is important that the owner be well-informed and have the time necessary to make the correct decision since regulating a diabetic cat requires commitment. Owners should know: The cat will need to be hospitalized for a number of days and one or more blood glucose profiles (described below) will need to be performed. The initial regulation of a cat on insulin generally takes 2-8 weeks. The process of getting a cat regulated can be costly."

One potential source of difficulty that you may not have thought of is how you time your injections or boluses of rapid-acting insulin with respect to meals. Since the first rapid-acting insulin, insulin lispro (brand name Humalog), came on the market in 1996, most diabetes experts have recommended taking it within 15 minutes of starting a meal (any time between 15 minutes before starting to eat to 15 minutes after starting to eat). This advice is based on the belief that rapid-acting insulin is absorbed quickly and begins lowering blood glucose quickly. However, several years of experience and observation suggest that this advice may not be ideal for everyone who uses rapid-acting insulin. As a result, the advice on when to take it needs updating.

In addition to facilitating the management of your sugar levels, the monitoring of mean blood glucose also plays an important role in the prevention and diagnosis of any disease, particularly diabetes mellitus. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Function Glucose is the body's primary source of energy. It comes from carbohydrates found mainly in certain foods, such as bread, rice, pasta and candy; fruits, especially oranges, pineapple and grapefruit; as well as vegetables, like potato and squash. Once carbohydrates are digested by the body, glucose is released into the bloodstream and absorbed by the cells via insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Identification A blood test may be administered to measure the amount of glucose in your bloodstream -- either through a home test kit or medical laboratory test. Your mean blood glucose refers to the average level of glucose present in your blood and generally reads between 60 and 110 mg per deciliter or lower in healthy adults. The Facts An excessively high mean blood glucose level, or hyperglycemia, may be an indicator of hyperthyroidism, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, glucagonoma or diabetes. Conversely, an unusually low level, or hypoglycemia, may indicate hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism or insulinoma. Although readings are generally accurate, results may vary, depending on the home test kit used or the laboratory in which the test is performed."

Tracy, MDSan Diego Ophthalmologist Laser Eye Surgery costs vary depending on many factors Depends on many factors such as LASIK or PRK, bladeless LASIK or conventional LASIK with a microkeratome, custom or non-custom (older technology). In general, $1500 - $3000 per eye is a ballpark figure. Christopher Coad, MDNew York Ophthalmologist Cost of Laser Eye Surgery The cost of laser eye surgery ranges from roughly $1000 to $3000 per eye. There are many factors that go in to this, and it is a difficult question to answer in a forum such as this. The technology that is being utilized, the severity of the patients prescription and the type of practice the surgeon works in are just three of many considerations among a long list. Suffice it to say.....\"\"you get what you pay for.\"\" Fortunately, the days of \"\"two for one\"\" dealsare behind us, however, some corporate laser centers will play with the pricing in an attempt to lure potential customers. You will find the majority of private surgeons will not do this."

"text": "10 Tips for Reducing Cost Per Call in the Call Center Friday, November 14th, 2014 Blog, Call Center Reducing cost per call in the call center is typically high on the list of priorities of call center managers and executives. However, implementing strategies to reduce cost per call should never come at the expense of customer service quality. Rather, reducing cost per call requires a balancing act between optimizing call center resources, staffing and customer service quality – and doing so as lean as possible. This blog post describes cost per call as well as 10 tips for reducing cost per call in the call center without sacrificing customer service quality. It is a great resource for managers and executives aiming to reduce cost per call in their call center – the right way. Cost Per Call Overview Cost per call (or cost per contact) is a call center metric for the total cost associated with handling all calls or contacts during a specific time period. It is a KPI frequently used by call center managers to assess efficiency within the call center. Before we dive into how to reduce cost per call in the call center, lets first discuss how to calculate cost per call. Calculating Cost Per Call The first step to calculating cost per call in the call center is defining the time period for which you would like to calculate cost per call (i.e., hour, day, month, quarter, year, etc.). Once you have a concrete time period, it is usually most effective to acquire the number of contacts during that time period per channel: Phone Video Text Live chat Email Support tickets Fax Self-service IVRNext, calculate the total call center costs associated with the given time period."

S. Learning RX claims “We change lives every day through the incredible power of brain training! Our programs are designed to target weak cognitive skills and help anyone from age 4 to 94 to achieve guaranteed results. Our goal is to ensure that people of all ages can receive the help they need to train their brains, get smarter, and be successful in life. ”But what do Learning RX services cost? According to one company insider, Learning RX will not disclose their fees and costs publicly or over the phone, as they have a very aggressive and systematic sales process designed to get parents into an initial meeting (called an “Assessment”) before disclosing their program’s substantial costs. No matter how hard you press for their fees over the phone, Learning RX will tell you that costs vary from situation to situation because their program is customized to particular students, and the Director will cover that in the Assessment. However, our Learning RX insider claims the programs and related costs are fairly standard and predictable. The Learning RX insider has provided us with a detailed overview of the slick sales process parents can expect (see the related post, to be published soon), as well as ballpark costs and fees currently charged by Learning RX (below). Former LRX writes: The shortest duration program LRX centers do is 12 weeks, though this number is increasing as centers sell longer and longer programs. The program is sold in 4 week increments, but the most common program lengths are 12, 24, and 36 weeks."

"text": "\"With Insurance: Copays Around $70 Without Insurance: $200-$1,000 Depending on Number E-mail Post Tweet Comments (42)Typical costs: For a patient not covered by health insurance an allergy test typically costs $150 to $300 for a consultation with an allergist, plus $60 to $300 total ($3 to $5 per allergen) for the much more commonly used skin prick test, or $200 to $1,000 total ($10 to $20 per allergen) for a blood test known as a RAST test. Allergy testing usually is covered by health insurance. For patients covered by health insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs involve a copay for the doctor's visit. For example, this Blue Choice plan has a copay of $20 for a family doctor and $35 for a specialist. And this Aetna plan [ 1] has a $35 copay for testing. Related articles: Allergy Shots What should be included: A skin test involves pricking or scratching the surface of the skin, usually on the back or forearm, and applying suspected allergens. Several suspected allergens usually are tested at once, and if redness or swelling forms at one or more of the sites -- usually within 20 minutes -- that confirms the allergy. A blood test, usually done when the patient is taking medication that could interfere with a skin test or has a severe skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, or has very dark skin, involves taking a blood sample and sending it to a laboratory. The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology [ 2] has an overview of allergy testing. Additional costs: If testing reveals an allergy, allergy shots, also called immunotherapy, might be recommended."

The cost of maintaining your Mercedes Benz or any high-performance automobile varies dramatically based on the condition, age and specific model. Clearly a high-performance V12 or V8 AMG engine requires a higher level of maintenance than a six cylinder power plant used in most common C and E Class models. Regardless of the year, model or engine type, it is important that you regularly maintain your Mercedes Benz. In general, you should expect to service your Mercedes Benz every 10,000 miles or once per year. Mercedes Benz traditionally will alternate a minor service with a major service. The minor service historically referred to as an A-Service will include an oil service and inspection and typically will cost around $200. The major service historically referred to as a B-Service will include an A-Service plus filters and computer resets. The major service will typically cost around $400."

"text": "Managing Customer Call Center Costs in an Uncertain Economy By Curt Barry | Business Planning Today’s call center mantra is, “Do more with what you have.” In this uncertain economy there is even more pressure to perform miracles by increasing productivity while lowering costs, yet still continuing to provide expected customer service levels. In our consulting engagements with direct call centers and through our F. Curtis Barry & Company Best Practice Share Groups, we’ve been able to observe the latest call center trends and how managers are dealing with them. Here are some of the major issues that direct customer call centers face, as they examine their costs and try to reduce them without major disruptions to customer service. Higher Labor and Benefit Costs There has been a tremendous acceleration in hourly labor rates over the past five years. In addition, our industry is in competition with call center jobs in banks and other financial services, which often pay more and have stronger benefits. As recently as 2013, many of our clients had average pay rates in the $8.30 to $9.50 range, with benefits adding 15% to 20%. Today those same clients are paying an average of $11.25 to $13.00 per hour. Some of those in urban areas are faced with $16.00 to $17.00 per hour, with added benefits in the 25%-30% range. However, there are still fortunate direct call centers with labor rates of $7.50 to $9.00 in smaller cities and rural areas."

What are the drivers behind software costs? What have been the trends in software costs? During the late ’80s and through much of the ’90s, IBM maintained more than 50 percent of a data center’s software budget focusing on the operating system and subsystems. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) had many major players, but it wasn’t until Computer Associates acquired LEGENT that there was a single, dominant ISV vendor. With the high global growth in technology spending during the ’90s, ISVs utilized the cash stream, multi-year Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs) to help finance the rapid consolidation of the ISV market. For the average customer, it was a great economic deal when an ISV would offer a 35 to 60 percent discount in an ELA. When the technology market crashed in 2001, many companies were left with ELAs, products, and cost structures based on the high growth years of the ’90s. Everyone benefited from the increase in hardware capacity at a lower unit cost, but they used the hardware savings to prop up the software budget. Software budgets were growing but were offset by hardware savings."

If you have paid drug or alcohol rehabilitation expenses for yourself, your spouse or your dependent, these expenses are most likely tax deductible. How much you can deduct on your taxes depends on a variety of factors, the most important of which is income. To qualify, your out-of-pocket expenses must exceed a certain percentage of your income.

Doing so will allow one to determine the correct treatment option and then assess what that will cost the patient. Dissociative disorders are very common mental health disorders that are the effects of severe trauma that was experienced in early childhood. In most cases, the cause for the disorder is extreme abuse, physical, sexual and/or emotional. More than 30 percent of the males and 40 percent of females suffer from this disorder, according to the National Alliance of Mental Health. The reason for the difference in percentages is due to the fact that more females are sexually abused as children. As many as 99 percent of all people diagnosed with dissociative disorders have a history of repetitive trauma at a very sensitive developmental stage of childhood. Most of the trauma is experienced before the age of nine. Dissociation is an interruption in the following functions: awareness of environment, identity, consciousness, memory and awareness of body and self. There are generally eight different symptoms associated with the disorder: vomiting, nausea, bleeding, personality changes, confusion, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea."

"text": "Henrik Eli Almaas Crime and punishment We define crime as a breach of the current social rules or laws given by some sort of governing authority. Throughout the ages, crime has occurred in all societies and the most common reaction has always been some sort of punishment. In our modern society there are many possible reasons given to justify or explain why someone deserves punishment: Rehabilitation, incapacitation, deterrence, restoration, retribution and denunciation are typical reasons and types of punishment. However, there is a significant difference between the punishments given in our modern society, compared to the punishments during the Victorian age. In this paper I’m going to take a closer look upon crime during the Victorian age and the most common punishments used at the time. I am also going to find out more about the modern Norwegian society, and how it reacts to crime today. The Victorian era The Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to her death 1901. It was a long and prosperous period in Britain and is characterized as a period of peace, referred to as the Pax Britannica. Britain was the greatest superpower in Europe at the time and dominated the sea. England experienced a massive population growth at the time, almost doubling the number of citizens from 1851 (16.8 million) to 1901 (30.5 million)."

"text": "October 2005A Primer: Three Strikes - The Impact After More Than a Decade Contents Introduction Background The Legal Evolution of California’s Three Strikes Law Impact of Three Strikes on the Criminal Justice System The Impact of Three Strikes on Public Safety Conclusion-The Future of Three Strikes Introduction In 1994, California legislators and voters approved a major change in the state’s criminal sentencing law, (commonly known as Three Strikes and You’re Out). The law was enacted as Chapter 12, Statutes of 1994 (AB 971, Jones) by the Legislature and by the electorate in Proposition 184. As its name suggests, the law requires, among other things, a minimum sentence of 25 years to life for three-time repeat offenders with multiple prior serious or violent felony convictions. The Legislature and voters passed the Three Strikes law after several high profile murders committed by ex-felons raised concern that violent offenders were being released from prison only to commit new, often serious and violent, crimes in the community. In this piece, we summarize key provisions of Three Strikes and You’re Out; discuss the evolution of the law in the courts; estimate the impact of the law on state and local criminal justice systems; and evaluate to what extent the law achieved its original goals. Our findings are based on analysis of available data, review of the literature on Three Strikes, and discussions with state and local criminal justice officials. Background The Rationale for Three Strikes. Repeat offenders are perhaps the most difficult of criminal offenders for state and local criminal justice systems to manage. These offenders are considered unresponsive to incarceration as a means of behavior modification, and undeterred by the prospect of serving time in prison. For this reason, longer sentences for this group of offenders have a strong appeal to policy makers and the public."

You do the time, you've paid your debt to society and justice has been done. But justice for whom? Certainly not the victim. Because our society defines justice in this manner, the victims of crimes often seek the most severe possible punishment for their offenders. Society tells them this will bring justice, but it often leaves them feeling empty and unsatisfied after getting what they sought. Punishment does not address the other important needs of victims. It cannot restore their losses, answer their questions, relieve their fears, help them make sense of their tragedy or heal their wounds. Regardless of their particular point-of-view, most people agree that crime and violence are exploding out-of-control in the streets of our towns and cities."

Many, including the large Iron Maiden of Nuremberg, were never used for torture. Torture (from the Latin tortus, \"\"twisted\"\") is the act of deliberately inflicting physical or psychological pain in order to fulfill some desire of the torturer or compel some action from the victim. Torture, by definition, is a knowing and intentional act; deeds which unknowingly or negligently inflict pain without a specific intent to do so are not typically considered torture. Torture has been carried out or sanctioned by individuals, groups, and states throughout history from ancient times to modern day, and forms of torture can vary greatly in duration from only a few minutes to several days or longer. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, coercion of the victim or a third party, interrogation to extract information or a confession irrespective of whether it is false, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture. Alternatively, some forms of torture are designed to inflict psychological pain or leave as little physical injury or evidence as possible while achieving the same psychological devastation. The torturer may or may not kill or injure the victim, but torture may result in a deliberate death and serves as a form of capital punishment. Depending on the aim, even a form of torture that is intentionally fatal may be prolonged to allow the victim to suffer as long as possible (such as half-hanging )."

The legal system is lenient with pedophiles, punishing them with insufficiently brief prison sentences that are further abbreviated by the option of parole. Some child molesters are released back into society after serving as little as one fourth of their prison-time (1). Recidivism is extremely high among child molesters; 75% are convicted more than once for sexually abusing young people (6) . Pedophiles commit sexual assault for a variety of reasons. Some rape children because of similar instances of abuse in their own childhoods (1). Some view the act of molestation as a way to gain power over another individual (1) . Some pedophiles act purely on sexual desires. No matter what causes these heinous criminals to molest children, their crimes are inexcusable.

"text": "Crude oil is a liquid found naturally in rock, containing mostly complex hydrocarbons, with some additional organic material. It is the major fuel used on the planet, and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as well. This oil can come in many different weights and colors, and can differ greatly in its composition. As little as half of the composition of heavy oils can be made up of hydrocarbons, while the lightest oils can be up to 97% hydrocarbons. There are four main hydrocarbons found in crude oil, in varying amounts depending on the oil. Around half of the hydrocarbons in most unrefined oil are naphthenes, one-third are paraffins, one-sixth are aromatics, and the rest are asphaltics. The color can range from pure black or dark brown to greenish or yellowish, depending on the composition. Ad Crude oil is considered light if the level of hydrocarbons relative to organics and metals is high, making its density low, and it is considered heavy if the level of hydrocarbons relative to organics and metals is low, making its density as high. Additionally, unrefined oil is classified as sweet if it has very little sulfur in it, and is classified as sour if it has a great deal of sulfur in it. So a crude oil will usually be called something like a sweet, light oil, or a sour, heavy oil."

The evolution of petroleum refining from simple distillation to today's sophisticated processes has created a need for health and safety management procedures and safe work practices. To those unfamiliar with the industry, petroleum refineries may appear to be complex and confusing places. Refining is the processing of one complex mixture of hydrocarbons into a number of other complex mixtures of hydrocarbons. The safe and orderly processing of crude oil into flammable gases and liquids at high temperatures and pressures using vessels, equipment, and piping subjected to stress and corrosion requires considerable knowledge, control, and expertise. Safety and health professionals, working with process, chemical, instrumentation, and metallurgical engineers, assure that potential physical, mechanical, chemical, and health hazards are recognized and provisions are made for safe operating practices and appropriate protective measures. These measures may include hard hats, safety glasses and goggles, safety shoes, hearing protection, respiratory protection, and protective clothing such as fire resistant clothing where required. In addition, procedures should be established to assure compliance with applicable regulations and standards such as hazard communications, confined space entry, and process safety management. This chapter of the technical manual covers the history of refinery processing, characteristics of crude oil, hydrocarbon types and chemistry, and major refinery products and by-products. It presents information on technology as normally practiced in present operations."

The word \"\"petroleum\"\" means \"\"rock oil\"\" or \"\"oil from the earth. \"\" Where does Oil come from? Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well.

It is important in daily lives and this paper will be concentrating on how it is located and extracted from the ground. I will start off with explaining what oil is and how it is formed. How oil is formed Oil was formed over millions of years from the remains of dead sea creatures. Once the remains settle down on the seabed, layers of mud and rock covers them. This causes a condition where there is no oxygen for bacteria to grow, therefore meaning that the remains cannot decay. Over the millions of years, the remains, under increasing pressure and temperature from the layers of sediments gradually turn to crude oil. As oil is not very dense, the crude oil can rise through rocks, which are permeable, meaning that liquids can pass through. Unless there is an impermeable (liquids cannot pass through) cap rock, the oil will seep up to the surface. ..."

The by-products of the refining process include such things as coke, waxes, tar, asphalt and starting materials that are used to make other products. Crude Oil is Found in Buried Ancient Sea Beds Not all crude oil is black as its colour can range from black to yellow and many shades in between. Its colour depends on its hydrocarbon composition. Different crude oils also have varying viscosity levels, some crude oils can be as fluid as water whereas others can be that thick they are close to being solid. Crude oil is what is known as a fossil fuel, this means it has evolved naturally from decaying plants and animals that once lived in an ancient sea many millions of years ago. Most places where crude oil is found were once sea beds. Hydrocarbon Molecules of Crude Oil Make it an Important Substance The secret behind crude oil being so useful is that it can be the starting point for many substances because of its hydrocarbon content. Hydrocarbons are molecules that exist of carbon and hydrogen that come in various structures and lengths . They can be in the form of straight chains to branching chains and rings."

"text": "\"Answer by Drgeeforce Confidence votes 3021 barrel of crude oil = 42 US gallons (159 liters or 35 imperial gallons). It produces from about 35 percent to 42 percent of gasoline or petrol, plus many other products such as kerosene, etc. More detail: The yield of gasoline from crude oil depends upon the quality of the crude oil (\"\"Crude Type\"\"), and the amount and type of processing at the refinery. So called \"\"light\"\" crude yields usually more gasoline per barrel than \"\"heavy\"\" crude, for a given amount of refinery processing. That a crude is \"\"sweet\"\" refers to sulphur content, - sweet makes it low sulphur and sour high sulphur, and a \"\"package\"\" to remove sulphur is called a \"\"Crude Sweetener\"\". Producing gasoline involves two steps in the refinery, beside post-processing. First is the distillation of the gasoline stream from the crude, and then the refomation of this to \"\"hike it up\"\". The final refomation is to adjust to the actual \"\"Octane\"\" numbers and add ingredients to make it suited for cars - such as lead in old days, now various alcohols and glycol to achieve the same.

Intense heat and pressure inside the different layers of earth transformed these dead remains into modern day's fossil fuel reserves. The fossil fuels are energy rich carbon compounds and hycrocarbons such as coal, natural gas and petroleum. The technological advances in the 20th century made possible the extraction of fossil fuels from the earth commercially viable. All our modern transportation and industry development process have been made possible because of the discovery and extraction of fossil fuels. More than three quarters of the world's energy consumption comes from fossil fuels."

"text": "Where Does My Gasoline Come From ? The United States consumes over 20 million barrels (840 million gallons) of petroleum products each day, almost half of it in the form of gasoline used in over 200 million motor vehicles with combined travel over 7 billion miles per day. Gasoline is made from crude oil, which was formed from the remains of tiny aquatic plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. These remains were covered with layers of sediment, which over millions of years of extreme pressure and high temperatures became the mix of liquid hydrocarbons (an organic chemical compound of hydrogen and carbon) that we know as crude oil. Because crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons, refineries break down these hydrocarbons into different products. These “refined products” include gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gases, residual fuel oil, and many other products . Products made from a Barrel of Crude Oil (Gallons)Notes: A 42 U. S. gallon barrel of crude oil yields slightly more than 44gallons of petroleum products. This “process gain” in volume is due to a reduction in density during the refining process. The most basic refining process is aimed at separating the crude oil into its various components. Crude oil is heated and put into a still — a distillation column — and different hydrocarbon components boil off and can be recovered as they condense at different temperatures."

The crude oil we use today was formed millions of years ago but crude oil is still being formed today. More crude oil is formed every time an animal or plant in the sea dies and is squashed by layers of other dead marine life (that turns into rock)over the top. This takes a long time. Oil and natural gas are carbon by-products and a common name for carbon by-products is petroleum. Oil is formed deep under the surface. Petroleum is formed from organic materials."

"text": "\"meticulousposted on Aug, 21 2012 @ 06:07 AM link Everyone talks about the big oil companies and the excessive profits they make yet why hasn’t anyone actually broken down the amount of profit made on a single 42 gallon barrel of crude oil? We’re not talking just about fuel for our vehicles because there are many more things that come out of that single barrel of oil than just fuel that you may not know about. Big Oil makes profit all the way down to the last ounce of that crude and I have yet to see anywhere in the MSM or on the internet that shows a complete and TOTAL RETAIL breakdown for EVERYTHING that gets made out of that one 42 gallon barrel. The oil companies just want to keep us in the dark to make it easier for them to justify higher fuel prices. So here I am now asking for help from my fellow ATS community members with my first thread to bring some truth out into the public spotlight. I have done some research but I am unable to complete/find all of the information needed for a complete TOTAL of all the products listed below. For example: exactly what is in that .34gal of other products, how much does 2.10 gallons of Petroleum Coke retail out to be, and what are the total government subsidies given back to the oil companies to produce all those products out of that one 42gallon barrel of crude? With just a few retail totals and information missing from what I have researched below we are already over $150 made from a $95 barrel of crude. I realize that some of the figures/prices are not 100% spot on exact and change daily depending upon the market but a reasonably close price will work. Here is what I have so far now keep in mind that the total yield depends on the type of crude being processed and overall, refineries in the USA are yielding about 49% gasoline (20.5 gallons) from the mix of crudes they process."

"text": "\"Bitumen extracted from tar sands has the consistency of peanut butter and must be diluted to flow through pipelines. And that's just the beginning. By Lisa Song, Inside Climate News Jun 26, 2012A handful of Canadian oil sands/Source: Suncor When emergency responders rushed to Marshall, Mich. on July 26, 2010, they found that the Kalamazoo River had been blackened by more than one million gallons of oil. They didn't discover until more than a week later that the ruptured pipeline had been carrying diluted bitumen, also known as dilbit, from Canada's tar sands region. Cleaning it up would challenge them in ways they had never imagined. Instead of taking a couple of months, as they originally expected, nearly two years later the job still isn't complete. Dilbit is harder to remove from waterways than the typical light crude oil—often called conventional crude—that has historically been used as an energy source. While most conventional oils float on water, much of the dilbit sank beneath the surface. Submerged oil is significantly harder to clean up than floating oil: A large amount of oil remains in the riverbed near Marshall, and the cleanup is expected to continue through the end of 2012. Inside Climate News spent seven months investigating what made the Marshall spill different from conventional oil spills."

"text": "Desalination Quick Outline Desalination is a practical way of making salty water drinkable and it is used widely around the world now, especially in very dry countries and on ships and small islands. The process is quite expensive and it uses a lot of energy. It also produces a very concentrated waste stream of brine which has to be disposed of responsibly. For these reasons, it is generally a source of last resource, implemented when all others have failed. The most common, modern methods of desalination are thermal processes and reverse osmosis (RO) although there is an increased trend to RO due to the advances in this technology in the last 10 years. For practical reasons, the most attractive desalination options are for water that does not have much salt in it to start with, ie brackish water or recycled water. Background As Australia has been severely affected by both drought conditions and changes in rainfall patterns, a great deal of attention is now focused on new sources of water to supplement traditional supplies. One of the most obvious alternative sources is desalination and it has been advocated, and seriously considered, for many applications and can provide drought proofing for water short areas. This fact sheet has been prepared to help people without expert knowledge in this area to understand how desalination works and what its potential and drawbacks are. At the end, detailed sources are listed for anyone who wishes to know more."

The “ethno” from the word ethnocentrism comes from “ethnos”, a Greek word meaning “people”. “ Centrism” meanwhile refers to “center”. Literally, ethnocentrism translates to people’s self-centeredness, viewing oneself as better than others, in terms of beliefs and/or points of view. Ethnocentrism as a philosophical concept began in the early parts of the 20th century, wherein people would make assumptions or believe that one’s practices and beliefs are better than the others. Ethnocentrism became the exact opposite of “Cultural Relativism”, wherein the values and beliefs of other people or cultures are accepted and tolerated. It involved acceptance that one belief or one way of doing things may work for a particular community, but may not work for others. It does not in any way view one’s own values as the only thing that’s right."

The desalination plant is the largest addition to Melbourne's water system since the Thomson River Dam was completed in 1983. It was announced by Premier Steve Bracks in 2007 when Melbourne's water storages were at their equal lowest-ever level being 28.7 percent of capacity. Increased Winter-Spring rains after mid 2007 took water storages above 40%., [ 3] but it was not until 2011 that storages returned to pre-2006 levels. When the facility was completed in December 2012 Melbourne's reservoirs were then at 81%. The plant was immediately put into standby mode. [ 4]The first water released for public use was in March 2017 via Cardinia Reservoir. As a rainfall-independent source of water the desalination plant complements Victoria's existing drainage basins, being a useful resource in times of drought. It is a controversial part of Victoria's water system, with ongoing costs of $608 million a year. ["

Nanofiltration membranes have pore sizes from 1-10 nanometers, smaller than that used in microfiltration and ultrafiltration, but just larger than that in reverse osmosis. Membranes used are predominantly created from polymer thin films. [ 1] Materials that are commonly used include polyethylene terephthalate or metals such as aluminum. [ 4] Pore dimensions are controlled by p H, temperature and time during development with pore densities ranging from 1 to 106 pores per cm 2. Membranes made from polyethylene terephthalate and other similar materials, are referred to as \"\"track-etch\"\" membranes, named after the way the pores on the membranes are made. [ 5] \"\"Tracking\"\" involves bombarding the polymer thin film with high energy particles. This results in making tracks that are chemically developed into the membrane, or \"\"etched\"\" into the membrane, which are the pores."

"text": "Jul272015Case Study: CETO La Reunion Published by Eric Royer What is CETO La Reunion? CETO La Reunion is a submerged point absorber technology invented, installed, and operated by Carnegie Wave Energy, an Australian developer (Carnegie Wave Energy 2011). The CETO La Reunion project is a three stage project, with the stage 1 currently operational as a 1 unit prototype (Carnegie Wave Energy 2015). Stage 2 of the project is a 2 MW array and stage 3 expands the array to 15 MW (Carnegie Wave Energy 2015). Siting Reunion Island, off the coast of Madagascar, makes an ideal deep water test site for various prototypes. ( Eco Generation 2011). Reunion is also exposed periodically to high energy southern wave events, and larger, consistent waves lead to greater amounts of power generated (Eco Generation 2011). The CETO units are installed in relatively shallow depths of 25-30 meters (ICOE 2010). This is relatively shallow when compared with other offshore wave energy technologies and this depth is even shallow when compared with other submerged point absorbers, which typically function at depths of 80-90 meters. The current stage 1 installation is about 8 kilometers off the coast of reunion, on the southwest side of the island."

"text": "\"Desalination plants a pricey option if drought persists By Kevin Fagan Updated 10:52 pm, Saturday, February 15, 201463As the drought bakes its way toward a fourth year, the state has a string of secret weapons in the works that could supply millions of gallons of new drinking water and help stave off disaster: desalination plants. Seventeen plants are in planning stages along the coast to convert salt water from the ocean or bays, including one near Concord that would serve every major water agency in the Bay Area. That plant is tentatively targeted to open in 2020, but could be kick-started earlier in an emergency, officials say - and once online, would gush at least 20 million gallons a day of drinkable water.

Trisha Thadani Starting up this string of desalination plants would be no easy skate, though. Machines that filter salt out of water still face the same opposition they have for generations from critics who say they are too expensive to run, kill fish as they suck in briny water, and spew greenhouse gases into the air from the energy they require to run. But in recent years, as technology and techniques for desalination have improved, such plants have gained momentum - enough so that in Carlsbad near San Diego, the biggest desalination facility in the Western Hemisphere is under construction and set to begin operation in two years. The $1 billion plant will tap the biggest water tank around, the Pacific Ocean. It will produce 50 million gallons of potable water daily, supplying more than 110,000 customers throughout San Diego County. Another large plant, with a potential price tag of $400 million, could begin construction in Monterey County by 2018. It would be near the only desalination plant in California that fills the needs of an entire municipality - the one that has been supplying water to Sand City, population 334, since 2010. \"\""

Floating Cities A New Wave of Science and Innovation The future of floating cities might be closer than you think, at least that is what the men and women at the Seasteading Institute are working hard to make a reality. “ Seasteaders are a diverse global team of marine biologists, nautical engineers, aquaculture farmers, maritime attorneys, medical researchers, security personnel, investors, environmentalists, and artists. We plan to build seasteads to host profitable aquaculture farms, floating healthcare, medical research islands, and sustainable energy powerhouses. Our goal is to maximize entrepreneurial freedom to create blue jobs to welcome anyone to the Next New World.” – The Seasteading Institute Looking Seaward Why floating cities? The case for floating cities is multifold. With sea levels rising and cities becoming more densely populated, floating cities can provide a sustainable alternative to deforestation and further loss of arable lands to development. Floating cities would also provide an international location for business entrepreneurs to conduct research and development, as well as modeling new means of affordable sustainability."

"text": "Membrane Filtration for Wastewater Reuse Current The newly emerging application of wastewater reuse is hyped to become the most promising process for membranes in the water industry. Dr Graeme Pearce discusses the challenges involved with membrane filtration as a pre-treatment to reverse osmosis, using the case study of Orange County, California. Membranes have been used in water and wastewater applications since the 1960's. However, initially membrane processes were felt to be too expensive for this field, and were only applied in niche applications or special circumstances. This changed during the 1990's due to the emergence of several drivers, including legislation to achieve improved treatment standards, and resource scarcity, which created the need to use membranes on saline or wastewater sources. The rapid uptake of membranes since 2000 has led to a dramatic fall in costs, to the extent that membranes now often compete with conventional processes, while achieving much better quality standards. There are two classes of membrane process used in the water and wastewater field. The first category includes reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF). These membranes have a dense non porous separating layer cast onto a porous support, and are used for the removal of dissolved substances. The second category is membrane filtration, in which a micro-porous separating layer provides a barrier to the finest particles present in the feed source but allows dissolved components to pass through."

"text": "112Sustainable Energy Desalination out of Desperation Severe droughts are forcing researchers to rethink how technology can increase the supply of fresh water.by David Talbot December 16, 2014By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will suffer from water scarcity. E ven in drought-stricken California, San Diego stands out. It gets less rain than parched Los Angeles or Fresno. The region has less groundwater than many other parts of the state. And more than 80 percent of water for homes and businesses is imported from sources that are increasingly stressed. The Colorado River is so overtaxed that it rarely reaches the sea; water originating in the Sacramento River delta, more than 400 miles north, was rationed by state officials this year, cutting off some farmers in California’s Central Valley from their main source of irrigation. San Diego County, hot, dry, and increasingly populous, offers a preview of where much of the world is headed. So too does a recent decision by the county government: it is building the largest seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere, at a cost of $1 billion. The massive project, in Carlsbad, teems with nearly 500 workers in yellow hard hats. When it’s done next year, it will take in more than 100 million gallons of Pacific Ocean water daily and produce 54 million gallons of fresh, drinkable water."

"text": "Author/Compiled by Félicien Mazille (Aquasis, cewas, international centre for water management services)Dorothee Spuhler (seecon international gmbh)Adapted from Desalination Methods for Producing Drinking Water Executive Summary The chemical process of changing seawater into potable or fresh water is called desalination. Thermal distillation and membrane processes are the two main approaches used around the world to desalinise water. Desalination processes may be used in municipal, industrial, or commercial applications. With improvements in technology, desalination processes are becoming cost-competitive with other methods of producing usable water to respond to a growing demand. Stand-alone desalination plants can use renewable energy to operate. The pure water that is obtained after desalination must be re-mineralised to be adequate for human consumption. The concentrated brine produced in desalination processes needs to be disposed of properly. Advantages Uses an abundant water source (seawater)Allows drinking water production in arid, coastal regions Many processes available can be adapted to different local contexts Disadvantages High energy consumption or investment costs Production of highly concentrated salty water is a by-product that has to be discharged properly Desalinated water has to be remineralised before it becomes drinking water In Out Freshwater, Energy Freshwater, Drinking Water, Non-biodegradable Wastewater Introduction As populations increase and sources of high quality, fresh drinking water decrease, using desalination processes to provide freshwater when other sources and treatment procedures are uneconomical or not environmentally responsible is becoming more and more common. Desalination is any process that removes excess salts and other minerals from water. In most desalination processes, saltwater (also called “feed water”) is treated and two streams of water are produced: Treated freshwater that has low concentrations of salts and minerals."

Middens containing charcoal and shellfish mark the location of their campsites along the coast.

Sara Dolnicar 1 Anna Hurlimann 2Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S1871-2711 (09)00213-X Get rights and content Abstract A survey involving 1495 Australians was conducted, asking them about their likelihood of using desalinated and recycled water for a range of purposes and for their assessment of statements related to desalinated and recycled water. Results indicate that – in contrast to study findings three years ago – the stated likelihood of using desalinated water was higher than that for recycled water for all purposes. The analysis of attitudinal statements provides insight into the possible reasons for these results: Australians perceive recycled water as a higher health risk and desalinated water as more expensive. Perceived health risk appears to dominate people's perceptions, leading to lower stated likelihood of use rates for recycled water. Implications for public policy are discussed.

"text": "\"Giant Panda Facts The giant panda is one of the world's eight species of true bears. Although for a number of decades there was some controversy over whether the panda was actually a bear at all, the recent consensus is that the panda is, in fact, all bear.. Some scientists argued that the giant panda and the red panda which share many characteristics were both more closely related to raccoons than bears. Closer study of the giant pandas molecular structure, however, puts them in the family ursidae - the true bears. Giant pandas live in the densely vegetated mountains of central China, where mist, heavy rains, and high humidity promote thick forests. The panda dines almost exclusively on one type of plant material, bamboo, which makes up over 95% of its diet. On rare occasions pandas will consume other types of plants, small animals, or insects, but the bamboo diet is so dominant, and has been consumed by the panda for so many thousands of years, that it has evolved into a bamboo eating machine, and has even evolved special paws with bony \"\"pseudo thumbs\"\" for handling bamboo shoots. The giant panda lives a solitary life and each individual marks, patrols and maintains its own territory. Giant pandas will actively avoid each other upon seeing or hearing another nearby, and females in particular will chase strangers out of their range and then actively and agitatedly re-mark the boundary lines with claw scratches, sprays of urine and strategic droppings. Pandas will occasionally enter caves or hollowed out trees to sleep or den for a few days but do not have permanent living arrangements. They do not hibernate as some other bear species do, but they will make short migratory moves to warmer climates depending on the season."

As their name suggests, they are related to the larger and more famous Giant Panda (although the exact closeness of their connection still remains uncertain to science), along with also sharing a number of characteristics with the Raccoon and so Red Pandas are classified in a family of their own. The Red Panda is also known by a number of different names in their native regions including the Lesser Panda, the Red Cat-Bear and as the Fire Fox in Nepal. Like their much larger cousin, the Red Panda relies on bamboo to feed and with rapid deforestation of these unique areas there is less and less for these animals to eat, which has ultimately led to the Red Panda being listed as being an endangered species. Red Panda Anatomy and Appearance The Red Panda is about the same size as a large housecat, with a cat-like face and a long, bushy tail. Their rusty coloured thick fur covers their body with the exception of their almost white coloured ears, cheeks, muzzle and spots above their eyes. The Red Panda also has reddish brown stripes that run down either side of their white muzzle, along with alternating light and dark rings on their tails. The Red Panda also has semi-retractable claws to aid climbing and stability amongst the branches and strong, tough jaws which they use to chew on bamboo. Like the Giant Panda, the Red Panda also has an extended wrist bone which acts a bit like a thumb, allowing them to hold onto bamboo whilst they are chewing it. The Red Panda also has dense fur which helps to keep it warm during the cold winter along with having thick and woolly fur on the soles of their feet which not only helps to keep their feet warm but also prevents them from slipping on the wet branches."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The word \"\"LASER\"\" has become a household word, but it didn't start out as a word. It is actually an acronym for: Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. First, let's discuss the properties of laser light and then we will go into how is created. Laser light is monochromatic, directional, and coherent Monochromatic: The light emitted from a laser is monochromatic, that is, it is of one wavelength (color). In contrast, ordinary white light is a combination of many different wavelengths (colors). Directional: Lasers emit light that is highly directional. Laser light is emitted as a relatively narrow beam in a specific direction. Ordinary light, such as coming from the sun, a light bulb, or a candle, is emitted in many directions away from the source Coherent: The light from a laser is said to be coherent, which means the wavelengths of the laser light are in phase in space and time. These three properties of laser light are what make it more of a hazard than ordinary light."

"text": "\"Light is light, you can't really talk about different \"\"types\"\" of light. Photons, which make up light, are characterized by their energy (wavelength), direction of travel, and polarization (direction of oscillating electric field - which is always perpendicular to its direction of travel). The main difference between light from a laser and light from a flashlight (incandescent bulb) is coherence. In lasers, light is emitted in phase, meaning the peaks and troughs of the photons leaving the device are all lined up with one another, implying the electric fields are all oscillating in the same direction as well (polarized) so the light is extra bright (amplification) and can be focused to a very small spot. Coherence gives laser light that characteristic spackled look. The difference has to do with how laser light is generated vs. light from a white incandescent bulb. Light bulbs work by black body radiation. Hot bodies radiate, so we heat up a tiny filament to extremely high temperatures and watch it glow. The light emitted in this process has a whole range of energies (and wavelengths) and has no preferential direction of travel or polarization or phase. Lasers, on the other hand, work by stimulating transitions between electron energy levels in a bunch of atoms."

"text": "\"Sources of Visible Light Visible light comprises only a tiny fraction of the entire electromagnetic radiation spectrum, yet it contains the only region of frequencies to which the rods and cones of the human eye will respond. The wavelengths that humans are typically able to visualize lie in a very narrow range between approximately 400 and 700 nanometers. Humans can observe and respond to stimuli created by visible light because the eyes contain specialized nerve endings that are sensitive to this range of frequencies. However, the remainder of the electromagnetic spectrum is invisible. A wide variety of sources are responsible for emission of electromagnetic radiation, and are generally categorized according to the specific spectrum of wavelengths generated by the source. Relatively long radio waves are produced by electrical current flowing through huge broadcast antennas, while much shorter visible light waves are produced by the energy state fluctuations of negatively charged electrons within atoms. The shortest form of electromagnetic radiation, gamma waves, results from decay of nuclear components at the center of the atom. The visible light that humans are able to see (the spectrum is illustrated in Figure 1) is usually a mixture of wavelengths whose varying composition is a function of the light source. In our everyday lives, we are bombarded by an enormous spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, only a portion of which we are able to actually \"\"see\"\" as visible light. When venturing outside, a vast majority of the light visible to humans is emitted from the sun, which also produces many other frequencies of radiation that do not fall into the visible range."

"text": "172Acne Laser Treatment – What Are The Pros and Cons? Laser treatments are the fastest way to deal with scars and hyperpigmentation left behind when acne heals, but can also be beneficial for inflammatory acne. However, it’s not known to be particularly helpful for noninflammatory comedonal acne. The primary benefit of laser therapy, as well as the primary drawback of laser therapy, is that is has very precise effects. Laser therapy although precise, never gets rid of scars completely, and is much more expensive than other forms of treatment. Summary: If you are squeamish about blood, chances are you will prefer laser treatments for acne to microdermabrasion. Laser treatments remove scars and pigmentation by heating hemoglobin in the blood in capillaries beneath the skin. Heating blood vessels deprives upper layers of skin of oxygen and nutrients so they slough off, giving new healthy skin a chance to replace them. The darker your skin, the less likely laser treatment is to be successful. The more sensitive your skin, the less likely laser treatment is to be successful."

"text": "Measuring Color Intensity Color-sensitive fields such as photography and film, and even in many areas of science such as analytical chemistry, are often concerned with multiple aspects of color. Among these, chromaticity, or the fullness of color, is one of the most important. Because the purity and saturation of a specific color along the color spectrum can often yield important information such as the chemical makeup of a substance or the overall visibility of specific parts of a scene, being able to measure and analyze color intensity in a reliable and quantifiable way is extremely important. Some examples of specific uses for color intensity measurement include: Textiles and fabrics manufacturing Textile manufacturers usually produce large batches of fabric, each of which must be exactly the same in terms of lightness, color and brightness. However, the human eye is not particularly adept at finding differences and variation in color intensity because surrounding colors, lighting conditions, and atmospheric conditions may influence the eye's color receptors. Thus, it has become quite common for textile manufacturers to utilize spectrophotometers or colorimeters to measure samples of fabric batches as part of their quality control measures. Because many things can interfere with the color reproduction of dyes, and because even slight differences in color intensity can harm a manufacturers brand identity, these color sensing devices are essential in keeping color intensity and chromaticity consistent across large batches of textiles and fabrics. Photography Professional photography is very sensitive to color, and devices such as light meters can be used both when planning a photo shoot and during postproduction to highlight specific colors in an image. Similarly, many commercial photography campaigns rely on highlighting specific colors, such as brand colors, over background visual noise. In these cases, colorimeters can be used to ensure that specific colors always achieve the same levels of intensity across different images with different types of levels of background visual noise."

"text": "\"How they're made Our eyes can detect only a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum, called visible light. This means that there's a great deal happening around us that we're simply not aware of, unless we have instruments to detect it. Light waves are given off by anything that's hot enough to glow. This is how light bulbs work - an electric current heats the lamp filament to around 3,000 degrees, and it glows white-hot. The surface of the Sun is around 5,600 degrees, and it gives off a great deal of light. White light is actually made up of a whole range of colours, mixed together. We can see this if we pass white light through a glass prism - the violet light is bent (\"\"refracted\"\") more than the red, because it has a shorter wavelength and is slowed down more by the glass - and we see a rainbow of colours. This is called 'dispersion', and allows us to work out what stars are made of by looking at the mixture of wavelengths in the light. Cinema projectors use a powerful lamp This filming lamp has a 'colour temperature' of 3000KUses We use light to see things!As the Sun sends so much light towards our planet, we've evolved to make use of those particular wavelengths in order to sense our environment. Light waves can also be made using a laser."

It is quite different from a light bulb or a flash light. Lasers produce a very narrow beam of light. This type of light is useful for lots of technologies and instruments—even some that you might use at home!How does a laser work? Light travels in waves, and the distance between the peaks of a wave is called the wavelength. Each color of light has a different wavelength. For example, blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light. Sunlight—and the typical light from a lightbulb—is made up of light with many different wavelengths. Our eyes see this mixture of wavelengths as white light."

"text": "The Sciences Rulers of Light: Using Lasers to Measure Distance and Time A revolutionary kind of laser light called an optical frequency comb makes possible a more precise type of atomic clock and many other applications By Steven Cundiff, Jun Ye, John Hall on October 8, 2008Credit: i Stock Photo Editor's note: This story was originally posted in the April 2008 issue, and has been reposted to highlight the long intertwined history of the Nobel Prizes in Scientific American. In the blink of an eye, a wave of visible light completes a quadrillion (10 15) oscillations, or cycles. That very large number presents both opportunities and a challenge. The opportunities promise numerous applications both inside and outside of laboratories. They go to the heart of our ability to measure frequencies and times with extremely high precision, a skill that scientists rely on for some of the best tests of laws of nature—and one that GPS systems, for instance, depend on. The challenge has centered on the impossibility of manipulating light with the techniques that work so well for electromagnetic waves of much lower frequencies, such as microwaves. Now, thanks to a decade of revolutionary advances in laser physics, researchers have at hand technologies that can unlock the latent potential that visible light’s high frequencies previously kept us from realizing. In particular, scientists have developed the tools to exploit a type of laser light known as an optical frequency comb. Like a versatile ruler of light with tens or hundreds of thousands of closely spaced “tick marks,” an optical frequency comb provides exquisitely precise measurements of light. Such a comb can form a bridge spanning the huge frequency gap from microwaves to visible light: very precise microwave measurements can, with an optical comb, produce equally exact data about light."

It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a \"\"drum\"\" to define a differentially charged image. [ 1] The drum then selectively collects electrically charged powdered ink ( toner ), and transfers the image to paper, which is then heated in order to permanently fuse the text, imagery, or both. As with digital photocopiers, laser printers employ a xerographic printing process. However, laser printing differs from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of the medium across the printer's photoreceptor. This enables laser printing to copy images more quickly than most photocopiers. Invented at Xerox PARC in the 1970s, laser printers were introduced for the office and then home markets in subsequent years by IBM, Canon, Xerox, Apple, Hewlett-Packard and many others. Over the decades, quality and speed have increased as price has fallen, and the once cutting-edge printing devices are now ubiquitous."

In order to decide on which particular type of LASIK eye surgery is the most suitable, a patient will usually undergo an initial consultation with an ophthalmologist. This could be free or cost up to £150 and will usually be discounted from the final cost of surgery. Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery In The UKThe costs in the table below are for the various LASIK treatments available in the main clinics in the UK plus Re Lex SMILE surgery which is often offered as a better alternative. If you are interested you can also compare prices of LASIK eye surgery treatments at clinics near you by entering your postcode in the short form on this page. Typical LASIK Surgery Prices In UK Clinics Treatment Type (Prices are per eye) Consultation From To Per Month LASIK – Standard £0 – £120* £1,195 £2,700 From £50 (11.5% APR)LASIK Intra Lase Wavefront £0 – £120* £1,495 £3,250 From £50 (11.5% APR)LASIK Wavefront – High Prescription £0 – £50* £1,695 £3,250 From £271 (0% APR)Re Lex SMILE £0 – £50* £2,495 £3,250 From £271 (0% APR)The cost of LASIK surgery can be advertised from around £700 per eye although this is normally for the most basic treatment type for those with the lowest prescriptions. You should expect to pay over £3000 for both eyes and most clinics will offer a fixed price (Optical Express advertise the lowest rate but it is not fixed like the others so you may end up spending a lot more if you go with them). If you have a particularly high prescription, have had previous surgery elsewhere or you require specialist correction you should expect to pay in excess of £5,500-£6,500 and use a specialist clinic. Despite the various type of surgery, each one should include on-going post-operative care with follow-up appointments a few days after the operation together with a yearly checkup. In some cases the surgery comes with a reassuring lifetime guarantee."

An optical projection screen from dnp is not a traditional front projection or rear projection screen. It is a big screen with an advanced optical lens system, which enables you to control the projected image for maximum impact – even in brightly-lit environments. While conventional front projection and rear projection screens spread the light in all directions, dnp screens enhance the image for optimum viewing by focusing and concentrating the projected light. Different screen types suit different projection environments, which is why dnp manufacture the world’s most extensive range of high-contrast screens. Depending on where you want to project, you can choose between three main categories: front projection screens, optical flat screen solutions and rear projection screens for built-in solutions.

Before taking a look at how the eye works, let’s start with a basic overview of how it is built. The outside layer of the eye is made up of the sclera and the cornea. The sclera is the firm white tissue that covers all of the eye except the very front. It helps maintain the shape of the eye and protects the inner parts. The cornea is the transparent portion at the center front part of the eye that allows light through. A thin outer mucous membrane called the conjunctiva covers the inside of the eyelids, the cornea, and the front portion of the sclera. It helps lubricate the eye. The middle layer of the eye contains oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood vessels, most of which are located in the layer of tissue called the choroid."

Today's smog also contains sulfur, but the major chemical in fog is ground-level ozone, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Ozone is a secondary gas produced when smog-forming chemicals react in the presence of sunlight. Naturally occurring ozone in the earth’s upper atmosphere filters harmful ultraviolet light. However, ground-level ozone, along with other air pollutants, pose a serious health risk. Industrial Smog Although less prevalent today than ground-level ozone, sulfur-dioxide emissions, have been a major source of industrial smog since the Industrial Revolution. Sulfur dioxide is one of the byproducts of burning coal and other fossil fuels in homes and factories. Industrial smog causes acid rain -- a form of precipitation that contains levels of sulfuric acid harmful to living organisms. Environmental legislation has placed more stringent limits on sulfur pollutants, which has improved air quality and reduced industrial smog. Precursors of Photochemical Smog Ozone, the most common chemical in urban smog, is the result of a complex photochemical reaction between nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons."

Photochemical smog is a serious environmental concern, and it poses a health problem to people living in many metropolitan regions around the world. In fact, sometimes levels of ozone - a major component of smog - are so high that school children in Los Angeles, California, are kept from going outside for recess because of the potential health risks!Photochemical smog was first identified in Los Angeles in 1944. Although several other kinds of smog occur, photochemical smog (or Los Angeles-type smog) is a yellow-brown haze produced by the reaction of sunlight with exhaust from automobiles and power plants that burn coal. Ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and other volatile organic compounds that make up this smog irritate eyes and nasal passages. These are particularly dangerous to people who have heart disease, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses, and to anyone who exercises or does manual labor outdoors when smog is heavy. Photochemistry of Los Angeles-Type Smog As its name implies, photo chemical smog forms in the presence of light, so this type of smog is seen most frequently during the hot and sunny summer months. Though the components of photochemical smog might be in the air, if sunlight does not reach them or they are not concentrated enough, the smog will not form. The worst cases of smog occur when winds are calm and smog is trapped near the surface by a temperature inversion, a condition in which cooler air near Earth's surface has warmer air above it."

Equations It is quite important that you can write properly balanced equations for these reactions, because they often come up as a part of thermochemistry calculations. Don't try to learn the equations - there are far too many possibilities. Work them out as you need them. Some are easier than others. For example, with alkanes, the ones with an even number of carbon atoms are marginally harder than those with an odd number!For example, with propane (C 3 H 8 ), you can balance the carbons and hydrogens as you write the equation down.

The EVAP system usually requires no maintenance, but faults can turn on the Check Engine light and prevent a vehicle from passing an OBD II plug-in emissions test. The OBD II EVAP monitor on 1996 and newer vehicles runs diagnostic self-checks to detect fuel vapor leaks, and if it finds any (including a loose or missing gas cap), it will set a fault code and turn on the Check Engine light. However, the EVAP monitor only runs under certain operating conditions. This may create a problem for the vehicle owner if his vehicle must be given an OBD II plug-in emissions test and the monitor has not completed. Common problems with the EVAP system include faults with the purge valve that vents fuel vapors to the engine, leaks in vent and vacuum hoses, and loose, ill-fitting or missing gas caps. The most common fault code is P0440, which indicates a large leak (often a loose gas cap). EVAP Purge valve codes (P0443 to P0449) are also common). The code you don�t want to see is a P0442. This indicates the system has detected a SMALL leak, but small leaks can often be a BIG problem to find."

But it's important to distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect and potential human impacts on it (the 'anthropogenic' greenhouse effect). Remember that, in the absence of the natural greenhouse effect, global temperatures would be too low to sustain life as we know it. The naturally-occurring greenhouse effect is due to the fact that a number of gases in the atmosphere absorb infra-red radiation (heat) emitted from the Earth's surface: instead of being radiated into space, this heat warms the atmosphere. These gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2 O), and ozone (O 3) . Methane makes up just 0.00017% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is an important greenhouse gas, with a much greater warming potential than CO2. Methane is generated through anaerobic decay of organic material The amount of methane in the atmosphere is the result of a balance between production on the surface and destruction in the atmosphere. CH 4 remains in the atmosphere for between 8 and 12 years. It's removed by being oxidised in the troposphere, first to carbon monoxide (CO) and finally to CO 2 and hydrogen gas (H 2 ).return to top Anthropogenic greenhouse gases However, human activities generate additional 'greenhouse gases'."

Air pollutants have a negative impacts on humans, animals and plants, and on air quality. The most frequently present categories of air pollutants are sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and small dust particles (aerosols). What causes air pollution? The main sources of air pollution are the industries, agriculture and traffic, as well as energy generation. During combustion processes and other production processes air pollutants are emitted. Some of these substances are not directly damaging to air quality, but will form harmful air pollutants by reactions with other substances that are present in air. Examples of large-scale air pollutants are VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and small dust particles. When large concentrations of these substances are emitted this negatively affects ecosystems, materials and public health."

Pure Oxygen4How Does Electricity Affect the Environment? Both industrial smog and photochemical smog are forms of air pollution. Although both appear to the eye as yellow-brown haze, they differ in two key ways: chemistry and composition. Industrial smog typically exists in urban areas where factories burn fossil fuels such as coal, which creates smoke and sulfur dioxide that mix with fog droplets to create a thick blanket of haze close to the ground. Photochemical smog occurs in drier, sunny areas and forms because of increased usage of all fossil fuels, including gasoline, and the burning of trees and organic waste. These emissions combine in the presence of sunlight to create a noxious environment, which can be harmful to human health. According to the National Institutes of Heath, both industrial smog and photochemical smog can create major health risks, including asthma, lung tissue damage, bronchial infections and heart problems. Chemistry of Photochemical Smog According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, photochemical smog is a mixture of pollutants that form when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react to sunlight, creating a haze that is common over cities. The two major primary pollutants, nitrogen oxides and VOCs, combine in a series of chemical reactions to create secondary pollutants, which are dangerous when detected in our atmosphere and at ground level."

"text": "Ozone What is Ozone? Ozone is a cousin of the oxygen molecule on which we depend for life. While the oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen atoms, the ozone molecule consists of three. That extra atom makes a big difference, in some ways that benefit us, and in other ways that are harmful. While ozone (O3) is an asset in the stratosphere, it has a mixed impact when it resides within the troposphere - the bottom layer of the atmosphere, which extends from the ground to where the stratosphere begins, at an altitude of about 16 km (10 miles). This is where we live. It is also where most weather takes place. ( See animation of tropospheric ozone (Quick Time, 457 KB) depicting the relationship between altitude and ozone roles. ) Tropospheric O3 has distinct roles depending upon its altitude – in the upper troposphere it is a greenhouse gas, in the middle troposphere it acts as an atmospheric cleanser, and in the boundary layer it is a major component of photochemical smog. Tropospheric O3 is produced photochemically in situ and is also transported down from the stratosphere, but the proportion coming from each of these two sources to the global budget is poorly understood."

"text": "\"+Exempt Compounds The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U. S. EPA) excludes certain organic compounds from the regulatory definition of a VOC based on the compound's negligible contribution to the formation of ground-level ozone, better known as smog. Smog is formed when VOCs photochemically react with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the atmosphere. The potential for a VOC to react with NOx to form smog, i.e., the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) of a VOC, varies from compound to compound. As a result, air quality regulations focus on VOCs that increase ground-level ozone concentrations, and exclude compounds with negligible reactivity. The U. S. EPA exempts compounds by comparing the reactivity of a given organic compound to that of ethane. Compounds with reactivity levels lower than, or equal to, ethane under the assumed conditions, may be deemed negligibly reactive. Compounds that are more reactive than ethane continue to be considered reactive VOCs, and therefore are subject to air quality regulation.

"text": "The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor , and methane , are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. As energy from the Sun passes through the atmosphere a number of things take place (see Figure 7h-1 ). A portion of the energy (26% globally) is reflected or scattered back to space by clouds and other atmospheric particles. About 19% of the energy available is absorbed by clouds, gases (like ozone ), and particles in the atmosphere. Of the remaining 55% of the solar energy passing through the Earth's atmosphere, 4% is reflected from the surface back to space. On average, about 51% of the Sun's radiation reaches the surface. This energy is then used in a number of processes, including the heating of the ground surface; the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water; and plant photosynthesis. The heating of the ground by sunlight causes the Earth's surface to become a radiator of energy in the longwave band (sometimes called infrared radiation )."

"text": "Photochemical smog is a unique type of air pollution which is caused by reactions between sunlight and pollutants like hydrocarbons and nitrogen dioxide. Although photochemical smog is often invisible, it can be extremely harmful, leading to irritations of the respiratory tract and eyes. In regions of the world with high concentrations of photochemical smog, elevated rates of death and respiratory illnesses have been observed. Smog itself is simply airborne pollution which may obscure vision and cause various health conditions. It is caused by small particles of material which become concentrated in the air for a variety of reasons. Commonly, smog is caused by an inversion, in which cool air presses down on a column of warm air, forcing the air to remain stationary. Inversions are notorious in Southern California, where smog can sometimes get so severe that people are warned to stay indoors. Some of the particulate matter in the air can oxidize very readily when exposed to the UV spectrum. Nitrogen dioxide and various hydrocarbons produced through combustion will interact with sunlight to break down into hazardous chemicals. It doesn't have to be sunny for photochemical smog to form; UV light can also penetrate clouds."

"text": "Serigraphy, also known as silkscreening or screen-printing, is the process of producing an image, or serigraph, by pressing color though a fabric stencil comprised of porous and non-porous sections. The image may be produced onto a fabric, such as a t-shirt, or other material, such as ceramic, paper, or wood. This form of printing is said to be based on the Japanese art of katazome, a form of stenciling with waterproof papers that was used in ancient Japan to copy an image. Some say, however, that the art originated in the Fiji Islands where banana leaves were used as stencils. The art as it is known today was patented in England in the early 1900s. The first commercial use of it in the United States occurred in 1914 when John Pilsworth developed a process to produce multiple multi-color prints from a single fabric screen, which was used to make multicolored signs and posters. During World War I, serigraphy became the preferred method for printing flags and other patriotic banners because of its ability to create relatively identical and multi-layered images. More recently, it has been used by artists and manufacturers alike. In fact, most people probably own a serigraphed t-shirt and many have seen Andy Warhol 's use of this technique in conjunction with photographic headshots of famous people, such as Marilyn Monroe. Ad Serigraphy is a relatively straightforward process."

"text": "\"Modern Art Movements This is a popular introduction to the major art movements starting with Impressionism and ending with Op Art. For copyright reasons we cannot display any images of art works by artists like Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali on this web page. With the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the second half of the 19th century, new art styles and movements appeared and disappeared at an increasingly fast pace - thus reflecting the growing rate of changes in our society. Here is a short overview of important modern art movements from Impressionism to Op Art. The images on this page are from Wikimedia Commons repository under the GNU Free Documentation License. Impressionism The history of modern art started with Impressionism. It all began in Paris as a reaction to a very formal and rigid style of painting - done inside studios and set by traditional institutions like the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The exhibition of Edouard Manet's famous painting, Dejeuner sur l'herbe, in 1863 in the Salon des Refuses (organized by those painter who were rejected by the Academie des Beaux-Arts), caused a scandal. It can be considered as the beginning of Impressionism. The Impressionist painters preferred to paint outside and studied the effect of light on objects."

Over the course of his career, Britto developed a distinct, pop-cubist style characterized by bold colors, playful themes and abstractions that imply on the legacy of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Romero’s fantastic art is a testimony of Miami’s vitality and South American cultures, presenting the viewers with an amazing world revolving around humor, popular aesthetics and a complete lack of any restraints. Romero Britto – A New Day, 2001 (Left) / Mona Cat, 2004 (Right)The Rise of Romero Britto Since he was growing up in a very poor situation, Romero Britto and his seven brothers were forced to make due with what they had. Observed from today’s standpoint, Britto feels that art is what kept him away from all the dark circumstances of his childhood, re-focusing his attention on the bright colors and positive aspects of life. When he was at the early age of fourteen, Britto presented his creations to the public for the very first time at an exhibition arranged by the Organization of American States. Despite winning awards for his displayed works and being encouraged by this early success, Britto felt that a smarter move for him at that time was seeking a practical, academic path as this would be a more realistic course. Soon after, he received a scholarship to study law at the Catholic University of Pernambuco. However, after he entered his third semester, Britto had a change of heart – he realized that nothing he learned so far made him as happy as creating his early pieces of art did. Keeping that in mind, Romero packed his bags and set sails for Europe in order to study and paint."

"text": "Medical Health Tests Questions Asked Blood Tests What is the significance of a slightly elevated creatine kinase blood test presumed not cardiac related? May 8, 2013Tweet Creatine kinase is an enzyme that is present in all the muscles of the body and is a catalyst in the energy conversion process. Creatine kinase used in the body are of two types - for the muscles and for the brain. Any testing to check their levels will therefore have to factor in this difference and most will have a CKM or CKB test. Elevated levels of the enzyme, or any levels of it, is usually the first test for cardiac problems. This happens especially if they are corroborated with some other tests like the alanine transaminase test, which is actually a liver function test as well. Since this is a crucial enzyme in the energy conversion process, if it is present in the blood, where it shouldn't be, it is a sign of the breakdown of muscle or dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy can be because of a variety of reasons. There are some genetic reasons of dystrophy like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and its related conditions that are actually genetic in cause. This condition causes progressive degradation of the muscle due a high level of some molecules in the muscular fibers causing the fibers to degrade."

"text": "\"Serigraphy, also known as silk screening, screen printing or serigraph printing, is a stencil-based printing process in which ink is forced through a fine screen onto the paper beneath. Screens were originally made of silk, but they are now made of finely woven polyester or nylon. The screen is stretched over a wood or aluminum frame, then areas of the screen are blocked off with a stencil (a negative of the image). The screen is then placed on top of paper, and ink is placed on the screen. A rubber-bladed squeegee is used to spread the ink evenly across the screen, allowing ink to pass through the open spaces onto the paper below. A different screen is used for each colour in the print, resulting in a final serigraph with great colour density, colour saturation and texture. Why all the different names? ' Serigraphy' is the artist's term. While it can be used interchangeably with 'silk screening' and 'screen printing', 'serigraphy' differentiates the artistic application from the industrial use. And in case you’re wondering, the word ‘serigraphy’ is a combination of the Latin word seri (silk) and the Greek word graphein (to write or draw)."

A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance. Ink is forced into the mesh openings by the fill blade or squeegee and by wetting the substrate, transferred onto the printing surface during the squeegee stroke. As the screen rebounds away from the substrate the ink remains on the substrate. It is also known as silk-screen, screen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicoloured image or design. There are various terms used for what is essentially the same technique."

"text": "Printmaking, an art form consisting of the production of images, usually on paper but occasionally on fabric, parchment, plastic, or other support, by various techniques of multiplication, under the direct supervision of or by the hand of the artist. Such fine prints, as they are known collectively, are considered original works of art, even though they can exist in multiples. To the modern reader, the word print might suggest mechanically mass-produced commercial products, such as books, newspapers, and textiles. In this article, however, the print refers to the original creation of an artist who, instead of the paintbrush or the chisel, has chosen printmaking tools to express himself. The fine print is a multiple original. Originality is generally associated with uniqueness, but a print is considered original because the artist from the outset intended to create an etching, woodcut, or other graphic work and thus conceived his image within the possibilities and limitations of that technique. Without doubt, early printmaking was strongly influenced by a desire for multiple prints. Artists quickly discovered, however, that when a drawing is translated into a woodcut or engraving it takes on totally new characteristics. Each technique has its own distinctive style, imposed by the tools, materials, and printing methods. The metamorphosis that takes place between drawing and print became the strongest attraction for the creative artist."

"text": "\"Keirsey Temperament versus Myers-Briggs Types. What's the difference? Compared to the difference between astrology, or even other non-Jungian based theories or methods of classifying personality, there isn't much difference at a superficial level. However, there are some major practical differences and a large theoretical difference between the two bodies of work. The first essential difference is that Keirsey describes observed long term behaviorial patterns, Myers often describes what people have in mind. The second essential difference is Myers used a linear four factor model to characterize \"\"invariant\"\" patterns of behavior of the individual throughout their lifetime, whereas Keirsey uses a systems field theory model to characterize these patterns. Lastly, the problems of intelligence and madness, that is, what are they are and how they relate to temperament, was not effectively addressed by Jung or Myers. To illustrate graphically, the difference between the two bodies of work, one can look at the following simplifications of how the each theory represents the \"\"temperament\"\" and \"\"character\"\" of an individual, although Myers did not explicitly address the notions of temperament and character. One of practical problems with the defining the difference of the models is a great deal of printed or web material and books have mixed the two models together: for they are similar. Keirsey gave Isabel Myers, a layman, a great deal of credit for rescuing Jung's work and having done a great job at observing people."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Muscular System Which muscles does the Bench Press help? Flag Which muscles does the Bench Press help? Answer by Mattstewart1981 Confidence votes 111One of the core exercises of power lifting and strength training in general, the bench press develops the pectoralis major and minor (large muscle group making up your chest) and triceps primarily, but also helps develop the anterior deltoid (front shoulder muscle), and the serratus anterior, a muscle on either side of the body that flares out slightly from the bottom of the armpit to the middle area of the ribcage. The serratus anterior is also known as the \"\"boxer's muscle\"\", because this muscle is utilized by pushing the scapula forward and around the rib cage when executing a punch. The forearms will also be developed to a lesser degree because they act as a stabilizer when performing the bench press. Adjusting the position of one's body, such as sitting up at a roughly 45 degree angle (incline bench press), or lowering the bench and lying back with the head below the horizontal position of the hips (decline bench press) help isolate the upper and lower portions of the pectoral muscles, respectively. The width between one's hands when gripping the bar is also significant; a wide grip concentrates force in the pectorals, while a close grip concentrates force in the triceps. The bench press is an excellent upper body exercise and crucial to developing power and definition in the chest, shoulders and arms. Large chest and shoulder muscles also help define the so-called \"\"V-shaped\"\" torso in a man, which women across nearly all cultures cite as a physically/sexually attractive trait.

The serigraph is based on an original painting, but sometimes not an exact duplication in size and / or appearance as the artist may sometimes make subtle changes from the original painting to the serigraph. The process starts with the original painting given to a \"\"master printer or atelier\"\" who will make hand-drawn positives produced for each color in the original painting. There could literally be dozens of separate screens produced to represent each color which ultimately is dependent on how many colors were used in the original painting. The next step is the proofing of the cut silkscreens by the atelier and then sent to the artist for approval. The artist makes the necessary adjustments to the proofs and then the edition is ready for the application of paint."

Antero Reservoir rules: Can be found at the Denver Water Board site at: http://www.water.denver.co.gov/In addition to the opening of Antero Reservoir, there is a new channel of the south fork of the South Platte that will be open on the DWB property. This water can be fished using artificial fly and lures only and all trout must be returned to the water immediately . After closing in 2002, Antero was re-stocked with brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout and splake in 2006.“We are very confident that anglers will have a great experience at Antero,” said Jeff Spohn, Aquatic Biologist with DOW. “ It is, however, a limited capacity site, so anyone looking for prime Colorado fishing should also consider the many other waters we manage in South Park. ”Park County is home to many other great sites for trophy-caliber fishing. If you can’t make it into Antero, enjoy one of these fisheries: Elevenmile Reservoir Elevenmile Reservoir should remain full through 2007."

"text": "Antero Reservoir Slated For Closure To Save Water March 19, 2013Denver Water, in coordination with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, will close Antero Reservoir on May 1 to drain the reservoir to save water supply during the ongoing drought. Antero Reservoir has the highest evaporation rate of any of Denver Water’s reservoirs, so draining and storing the water in Cheesman and Eleven Mile reservoirs will reduce system evaporation losses by about 4,000 acre-feet. “ We’re exploring as many ways as possible to be efficient with our water supply,” said Dave Bennett, water resource manager for Denver Water. “ Antero is a drought reservoir designed to provide water to our customers during a severe drought. Moving water from Antero to Cheesman will allow us to make the water available for our customers and reduce evaporation losses to our system. Denver Water is working closely with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to minimize the loss of fish during the drain and to allow the public to use the reservoir before it closes. Beginning Wednesday, March 20, the bag and possession limit on trout at Antero will be increased from two to eight fish with no minimum size restriction. All other fishing regulations apply. Immediately after the ice has melted off the reservoir, CPW staff will trap and relocate spawning trout. Once the fish have moved off the shoreline and inlet areas, the draining of the reservoir will increase significantly."

"text": "Stabiae is located near the modern Castellammare di Stabia, in an area known as Varano. Its origins date back to the VII century BC, the discovery of a necropolis from that period in the area of Madonna delle Grazie witnesses the presence of a pre urban settlement situated on the road to Nuceria. In the V century BC Stabiae was a Samnite centre, although we have limited information until the III century BC when, during the II Punic War, as remembered by Silio Italico, it had an important role fighting on the side of Rome, providing its supporting army. In 89 BC it was conquered and destroyed by Silla and its territory was probably annexed to Nuceria. Then it developed again as a holiday resort. The excavations started in 1749 when Charles III of Bourbon ordered Rocco Gioacchino d'Alcubierre to explore the area. After a decade of neglect caused from the concentration of resources on the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum, proper excavations started again and a series of objects and paintings were found, contributing to enlargement the royal collection. The settlement included a number of residential villas such as Villa San Marco, built during the Augustan era measuring a total size of 11,000 square metres of which only 6,000 have been brought to light. Villa of Arianna, whose name comes from a painting found in the triclinium with an image of Arianna abandoned by Teseo at Nasso. It was brought to light between 1757 and 1762 under the direction of Karl Weber and it also covered an area of 11,000 square metres of which only 2,500 have been excavated."

Preoperative vein mapping has been traditionally used to assess conduit adequacy and define GSV anatomy, thereby decreasing operative time and reducing wound complications. The purpose of this study was to determine whether GSV mapping using computed tomography angiography (CTA) closely correlated with that of traditional duplex ultrasonography (US). Methods From August 2009 through June 2011, 88 limbs from 51 patients underwent CTA of the lower extremities for the purpose of defining arterial anatomy with concurrent US for preoperative vein mapping. GSV diameters were measured by two blinded reviewers on CTA (both antero-posterior [AP] and lateral dimensions) and compared with US-based measurements at levels of the proximal thigh, mid-thigh, knee, mid-calf, and ankle. CTA and US measurements were compared at each anatomic level using linear regression. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Charge reduction was calculated based on technical and professional fees for each imaging study. Results GSV diameter sequentially decreased from the proximal thigh to the mid-calf and then increased to the ankle as measured by CTA and US."

"text": "\"By Suzanne Edwards – Reporter, Houston Business Journal Jan 13, 2016, 8:33am CSTNow that Stephen Johnson has a $200 million commitment from The Woodlands-based Five Point Capital Partners LLC for his newly founded Water Bridge LLC, he can focus on how to spend the dough. And for the Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE: NBR) alumnus, that means water, water everywhere. Water Bridge Resources is focused on acquiring water infrastructure that upstream oil and gas companies are looking to offload in exchange for much-needed cash. The company intends to operate and develop the water-delivery and -disposal systems, then establish long-term contracts with exploration and production companies to deploy those systems, said Johnson, Water Bridge's CEO. \"\" Our customers would be the larger independents and then the major E&P operators that own existing water infrastructure — we’re focusing on acquiring blue chip assets. The assets are comprised of pipelines in the ground, surface equipment for storing water, and disposal wells,\"\" said Johnson. The use of water in oil and gas operations has developed into a somewhat fragmented cottage industry, the purview of smaller mom-and-pop operations and E&P companies that have built their own water infrastructure, said Johnson. Water Bridge's management hopes its business model will lead to a streamlining of the fledgling water-systems industry in energy. As for the assets, certain producers have already released water infrastructure assets to channel money into their core business. In December, Whiting Oil & Gas Corp., a unit of Denver-based Whiting Petroleum Corp., sold its Redtail saltwater disposal and fresh water transportation and storage system in Weld County for $75 million."

Today I’d like to give a closer look at Venus herself. Venus was the goddess of beauty and love in Roman mythology. Through identification with the Greek Aphrodite, she became one of the most powerful mythological symbols. As I noted last week, there are two myths surrounding the origins of Venus. In the first, probably Roman, she was the daughter of Jupiter and Dione. In the second, perhaps due to the association of the name Aphrodite with the Greek word aphros, meaning foam, she sprang from the sea fully formed. The zephyrs wafted her along the waves to the Isle of Cyprus, where she was received and attired by the Seasons, and then led to the assembly of the gods. It is this tale of the birth of Venus, of course, that was depicted by Boticelli in his most famous painting. All the gods were charmed with her beauty, and each one demanded her for his wife."

From the low deserts to the peaks of the Rocky Mountains, a wide array of gems and minerals can be dug in this beautiful state. Below are just a few of them: Rhodochrosite The crystals found here are solely valued for their natural intrinsic beauty and the translucent red color variety found in Colorado attracts high value all around the world. Rhodochrosites is found in eighteen of Colorado’s counties and it is one of Colorado’s most popular and highly sought after minerals due to its exceptional beauty. There is a 6.5-inch rhodochrosite crystal known as the “Alma King” displayed in the Nature and Science Museum of Denver. This beautiful crystal found in 1992 in the Home Sweet Mine in the Mosquito Range of Park County, which is west of the old mining town of Alma is referred to as the earth’s largest rhodochrosite. Amazingly, rhodochrosite was once regarded as waste on the Sweet Home’s dumps because the site was used as a silver mine in the late 1800’s, but now after the discovery of the beautiful crystal, the large deep, red colored rhodochrosite, attention has come to the Sweet Home area that is just as much as when silver mining was at its height. The rhodochrosite discovered in the counties of Colorado is associated with silver, gold, lead, zinc, and molybdenum ores. Turquoise Colorado has about fifteen mines where the precious gemstone can be found. However, there is ambiguity in the amount that is found in these mines."

According to his own estimation, he was probably the most important philosopher of his time, if not of history, since he believed himself to be the first to discover a genuine \"\"science of politics.\"\" Modeled on the surefire method of geometry, his political science was supposed to demonstrate political truths with the certainty of a geometric proof. Such a science was desperately needed by his fellow English citizens, Hobbes believed, because political disagreements and conflicts were tearing apart his country. According to Hobbes, civil war is primarily caused by differing opinions over who is the ultimate political authority in a commonwealth. In his own time, the King’s claim of having the final say on political matters was called into question by members of Parliament. For example, when King Charles tried to raise funds for a war against Spain and France in 1626, Parliament denied his request. In response, the King used a “forced loan” to force individual subjects to finance his needs. This action contributed to the rising tensions between King and Parliament, tensions that ultimately erupted in civil war. According to Hobbes, the only way to escape civil war and to maintain a state of peace in a commonwealth is to institute an impartial and absolute sovereign power that is the final authority on all political issues."

Shop Now Some people claim the Bible is a book of fairy tales because it mentions unicorns. However, the biblical unicorn was a real animal, not an imaginary creature. The Bible refers to the unicorn in the context of familiar animals, such as peacocks, lambs, lions, bullocks, goats, donkeys, horses, dogs, eagles, and calves ( Job 39:9–12 ). 1 In Job 38–41, God reminded Job of the characteristics of a variety of impressive animals He had created, showing Job that God was far above man in power and strength. 2Job had to be familiar with the animals on God’s list for the illustration to be effective. God points out in Job 39:9–12 that the unicorn, “ whose strength is great ,” is useless for agricultural work, refusing to serve man or “ harrow (plow) the valley .” This visual aid gave Job a glimpse of God’s greatness. An imaginary fantasy animal would have defeated the purpose of God’s illustration."

The discipline dates back to ancient times with some of the greatest philosophers being Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. But there are some modern-day philosophical thinkers who have had their contributions recognized as well. Below is a chronological list of some of the most famous philosophers of all time and why they were important to future generations. Philosophers of Antiquity Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) Nationality: Chinese Known for: Developed the system known as Confucianism The philosophy of Confucius focused on self improvement, the morality of governing a people, justice and personal relationships with others. His collection of sayings, called analects,are well-known and mimicked in fortune cookies, although these are typically not sayings attributed to Confucius himself. Parmenides (c.540 BC-?) Nationality: Greek Known for: Founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy Wrote a philosophical poem entitled On Nature in which he discusses two ideals: The way of truth and the way of opinion. Parmenides believed the latter was inferior because it was not reliable. He theorized that the world is non-changing and when a person sees something change, it is merely an illusion."

"text": "English/USAnswers Store Outreach Media Kids Education Donate Image from Answers magazine Answers in Genesis Answers Animals Dinosaurs Could Behemoth Have Been a Dinosaur? Could Behemoth Have Been a Dinosaur?by Allan Steel on August 1, 2001Share: Originally published in Journal of Creation 15, no 2 (August 2001): 42-45. Abstract Two great creatures, behemoth and leviathan, are described by God in Job. Some commentators have suggested behemoth was an elephant or hippo but the description simply doesn’t match (e.g. behemoth “moves his “tail like a cedar”). It’s appears God is describing a sauropod dinosaur and a fearsome now-extinct sea creature. Shop Now Summary In Job 40, the Lord is infallibly describing a real historical creature, called ‘Behemoth’. No known living animal, such as the elephant or hippopotamus, fits the passage adequately. A detailed analysis of the key clause Job 40:17a suggests that the most natural interpretation is that the tail of Behemoth is compared to a cedar for its great size. Consequently, the most reasonable interpretation is that Behemoth was a large animal, now extinct, which had a large tail. Thus some type of extinct dinosaur should still be considered a perfectly reasonable possibility according to our present state of knowledge."

Tannin: Sea Serpent, Dinosaur, Snake, Dragon, or Jackal?by Ken Ham and Tim Chaffey on August 8, 2012Share: Abstract Dragon legends around the world have been prevalent for generations. Dragons are even mentioned in books of the Old Testament. But were they real creatures or just mythological? The Hebrew word תנין ( tannin) has been translated in several ways, but this paper will attempt to show that the term likely refers to both land and sea serpents or dragons. Determining the meaning of tannin requires a close look at the actual Hebrew word and a study of the various contexts in which it appears. Shop Now The word dinosaur refers strictly to land animals, but some people often label marine reptiles (e.g., plesiosaurs) and flying reptiles (e.g., pteranodons) as dinosaurs. 1 Dinosaur is also a relatively new word, having been coined in 1841 by the famous British scientist Sir Richard Owen. 2 Prior to this time, another word was used for large reptilian creatures: dragon.

The new study suggests that antagonistic drugs designed to block the release of the hormone may be a promising therapy for shrinking the deadly tumors. \"\" This paper shows that ... [drugs] of this class can probably be used in the future for cancer treatment ,\"\" co-author Hippokratis Klaris, Ph D, tells Web MD. But Klaris, an instructor at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, stresses that it would be premature to draw too many conclusions from this study, which involved mice deliberately given a human type of lung cancer known as small-cell lung cancer, or SCLC. For the last five years, Klaris and colleagues, including lead author Andrew V. Schally, Ph D, have been working on developing drugs that block growth hormone-releasing hormone, also known as GHRH. In previous work, such drugs have been shown to block the growth of bone cancers, brain cancers, small-cell and non-small-cell lung cancers, as well as cancers of the prostate, kidney, pancreas, and breast. Growth hormone is released from the pituitary gland, but how it plays a role in causing tumors is unknown. However, one important observation from this study is that GHRH is present elsewhere in the body, not just in the pituitary.

Share: FULL STORYNearly 30 years after Nobel laureate Linus Pauling famously and controversially suggested that vitamin C supplements can prevent cancer, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists have shown that in mice at least, vitamin C - and potentially other antioxidants - can indeed inhibit the growth of some tumors ¯ just not in the manner suggested by years of investigation. The conventional wisdom of how antioxidants such as vitamin C help prevent cancer growth is that they grab up volatile oxygen free radical molecules and prevent the damage they are known to do to our delicate DNA. The Hopkins study, led by Chi Dang, M. D., Ph. D., professor of medicine and oncology and Johns Hopkins Family Professor in Oncology Research, unexpectedly found that the antioxidants' actual role may be to destabilize a tumor's ability to grow under oxygen-starved conditions. Their work is detailed this week in Cancer Cell. \"\" The potential anticancer benefits of antioxidants have been the driving force for many clinical and preclinical studies,\"\" says Dang. \"\" By uncovering the mechanism behind antioxidants, we are now better suited to maximize their therapeutic use. \"\"\"\" Once again, this work demonstrates the irreplaceable value of letting researchers follow their scientific noses wherever it leads them,\"\" Dang adds. The authors do caution that while vitamin C is still essential for good health, this study is preliminary and people should not rush out and buy bulk supplies of antioxidants as a means of cancer prevention."

Most thyroid nodules are in fact benign (non-cancerous), and just the fact that you have a thyroid nodule should not create undue concern that it may be a cancer. Most nodules rather than being cancer (carcinomas) are actually tumorous collections of benign cells variously called adenomas or adenomatoid nodules. Whether nodules are \"\"cold\"\" or \"\"hot\"\" on thyroid nuclear scanning relates to their ability to trap and collect radioactive substances such as radioactive iodine or other radioactive elements used in nuclear medicine. These isotopes are either swallowed or injected intravenously and their extraction from the blood and concentration within the nodules causes the areas corresponding to the nodules to show up as black \"\"hot\"\" spots on the scan image. Hot nodules are rarely cancer and most often represent benign follicular adenomas. In addition, such hot nodules may in fact be overproducing thyroid hormone and may cause hyperthyroidism. The larger the \"\"hot\"\" nodule the more likely it will be associated with hyperthyroidism. These nodules may produce either T4 or T3 or a combination of both."

And about 27,540 men died from prostate cancer in 2015. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. It follows only lung cancer. Yet the survival rates for prostate cancer are typically good, assuming the cancer remains in the prostate. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body such as the lymphatic system or other organs, the five-year survival rate is only about 28 percent.

Fortunately, the progression can usually be blocked by tyrosine kinase therapy or allogeneic transplantation. The seemingly stereotypical march of progression involves changes in genetic instability and DNA repair, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and thus may serve as a unique model of cancer evolution and progression. Given that all treatments work much better in chronic-phase than advanced-phase disease, the clinical dilemma is predicting and detecting patients bound to evolve into advanced disease. This is especially important in the age of tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) therapy. The purpose of this review is to address the biology of blast crisis in the age of tyrosine kinase therapy, with an emphasis on what genes or pathways may be future targets of predictive assays or treatments of progression. The classic textbook description of the natural history of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stereotypical progression from a relatively benign chronic phase through accelerated phase, and into fatal blast crisis. This relentless march can be diverted or aborted by curative (or near-curative) therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, transplantation, and in an occasional case, interferon. All treatments work far better in chronic phase than advanced disease (accelerated or blast phases)."

Moreover, virtually all negative effects of dietary supplements, what some people (especially fear-mongers) call the “dangers of supplements”, can be entirely avoided by following some practical guidelines on how to properly use these valuable natural health products. This pro-active approach elevates dietary supplement safety and ensures that you will experience primarily health benefits from your nutritional supplements. Side effects, if present at all, will only be minor that way. Last but not least... One of the prime facts about vitamins is that the health risks of dietary supplements are low.

Here are the Top 10 Tips to avoid the negative side effects of dietary supplements... Tip #1 To Avoid Side Effects Of Dietary Supplements: Take High-quality Nutritional Supplements At Science-based Doses When you buy dietary supplements you want to be in a situation where the benefits of supplements are as large as possible -and, respectively, the risks as low as possible.

"text": "Anti-Cancer Nutrition: Protein 101Jul 30, 2012 Brian D. Lawenda, M. D. Protein is a vital macronutrient that supplies the building blocks for bones, skin, organs and muscles as well as key immune-system components such as white blood cells. We all need to eat protein daily, but it’s especially important for people with chronic diseases to consume high-quality protein to maintain muscle mass and support the immune system. Moreover, protein-rich meals can help prevent weight gain by keeping us sated longer than meals consisting mainly of carbohydrates. Some protein and a little healthy fat should therefore be included in every meal; this increases satiety and helps prevent blood-sugar swings and starch/sugar cravings. ( For example, a salmon-and-vegetable curry with a little brown rice is likely to be more satisfying than a vegetable-only curry with rice). Foods that supply high-quality protein include eggs, fish, legumes (beans, peas, lentils, soy, nuts and nut butters), deep, cold-water fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, cod), poultry (skin removed), whey (a milk protein), whole grains, nuts and seeds. You don’t have to completely eliminate dairy and meat from your diet to live an anti-cancer lifestyle, but you should limit the quantity you consume, choose the highest-quality meats you can afford, prepare these carefully to avoid creating carcinogens (more on this below) and accompany them with a wide variety of colorful vegetables and fruits. Dairy and Cancer: Since the FDA approval of the recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (r BGH) in 1994, most dairy farms in the United States inject their cows with r BGH to increase the production of their milk. r BGH not only increases the production of milk, but also stimulates the cows’ liver to over-produce a growth factor called, insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). Excess levels of IGF-1 have been increasingly linked to human cancer development and growth (particularly, breast, prostate and colon cancers.)"

"text": "Guide for post-exposure prophylaxis The recommendations given here are intended as a general guide. It is recognized that, in certain situations, modifications of the procedures laid down may be warranted. Such situations include exposure of infants or mentally disabled persons and other circumstances where a reliable history cannot be obtained, particularly in areas where rabies is enzootic, even though the animal is considered to be healthy at the time of exposure. Such cases may be treated as category II or III. Post-exposure treatment, which consists of local treatment of the wound, followed by vaccine therapy (with or without rabies immunoglobulin) should be initiated immediately with contacts of categories II and III. Treatment may be discontinued if the animal involved (dog or cat) remains healthy throughout an observation period of 10 days; or if the animal is killed humanely and found to be negative for rabies by laboratory examination. Any biting animal suspected of being rabid should be immediately killed humanely and tissues examined using appropriate laboratory technique (s). Modification of the recommended procedures would be indicated in a rabies-free area where animal bites are encountered. In areas where canine or wildlife rabies is epizootic, adequate laboratory and field experience, indicating that there is no infection in the species involved, may justify local health authorities in not recommending specific anti-rabies treatment. The indication for post-exposure vaccination with or without rabies immune globulin depends on the type of contact with the rabid animal."

Haemophilus influenzae is a bacteria that has encapsulated (typeable) or unencapsulated (nontypeable) strains. Encapsulated strains express one of six antigenically capsular polysaccharides (types a, b, c, d, e, or f). Historically, type b (Hib) is the most common type to cause invasive disease particularly in young children. H. influenzae colonizes the upper respiratory tract of humans and is transmitted person-to-person by inhalation of respiratory droplets or by direct contact with respiratory tract secretions. Encapsulated H. influenzae nontype b strains, particularly type a, can cause invasive disease similar to Hib disease (see next question). Nontypeable strains also can cause invasive disease but more commonly cause mucosal infections such as otitis media, conjunctivitis, and sinusitis. Vaccines are only available for H. influenzae type b; Hib vaccines only protect against H. influenzae type b strains. How common is Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease? Before 1985, Hib was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and a common cause of other invasive diseases (such as epiglottitis, pneumonia, septic arthritis, cellulitis, purulent pericarditis, and bacteremia) among U. S. children younger than 5 years of age."

The strain Flury LEP was obtained from American Type Culture Collection as the 59th egg passage. The growth medium for propagation of the virus is a synthetic cell culture medium with the addition of human albumin, polygeline (processed bovine gelatin), and antibiotics. The virus is inactivated with β-propiolactone and further processed by zonal centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. The vaccine is lyophilized after addition of a stabilizer solution that consists of buffered polygeline and potassium glutamate. One dose of reconstituted vaccine contains ≤12 mg polygeline (processed bovine gelatin), ≤0.3 mg human serum albumin, 1 mg potassium glutamate, and 0.3 mg sodium EDTA. Small quantities of bovine serum are used in the cell culture process. Bovine components originate only from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Minimal amounts of chicken protein may be present in the final product; ovalbumin content is ≤3 ng/dose (1 m L), based on ELISA . Antibiotics (neomycin, chlortetracycline, amphotericin B) added during cell and virus propagation are largely removed during subsequent steps in the manufacturing process."

The WHO Model List of Essential Medicines ( EML ), published by the World Health Organization (WHO), contains the medications considered to be most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system. The list is frequently used by countries to help develop their own local lists of essential medicine. [ 1] As of 2016, more than 155 countries have created national lists of essential medicines based on the World Health Organization's model list. [ 2] This includes countries in both the developed and developing world. [ 1]The list is divided into core items and complementary items. The core items are deemed to be the most cost effective options for key health problems and are usable with little additional health care resources. The complementary items either require additional infrastructure such as specially trained health care providers or diagnostic equipment or have a lower cost-benefit ratio. [ 3] About 25% of items are in the complementary list. [ 4] Some medications are listed as both core and complementary. ["

Shortening the interval between immunizations is never supposed to be done for immunology effectiveness reasons so if you were given an extra on day 8 then day 7 should have been disregarded and then the whole schedule moved out one day each for the remaining two days. So you should probably have received the last two on day 15 and day 29 respectively. Whoever did this screw up should call the vaccine manufacturer for recommendations on how to proceed now."

Go to: Introduction Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a blood product prepared from the serum of between 1000 and 15 000 donors per batch. It is the treatment of choice for patients with antibody deficiencies. For this indication, IVIG is used at a ‘replacement dose’ of 200–400 mg/kg body weight, given approximately 3-weekly. In contrast, ‘high dose’ IVIG (hd IVIG), given most frequently at 2 g/kg/month, is used as an ‘immunomodulatory’ agent in an increasing number of immune and inflammatory disorders. Initial use of hd IVIG was for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children [ 1 ]. The clinical specialities using the largest amounts of IVIG are neurology, haematology, immunology, nephrology, rheumatology and dermatology. IVIG has had a major impact on the treatment of neurological disorders including dermatomyositis, Guillain–Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), myasthenia gravis and stiff person syndrome. In haematology it is used to treat immune cytopenias, parvovirus B19 associated red cell aplasia, hypogammaglobulinaemia secondary to myeloma and chronic lymphatic leukaemia and post-bone marrow transplantation."

It invariably causes swelling of the brain and death after a relatively short illness. How is rabies transmitted? The rabies virus is found in the nervous tissue of infected mammals. As the virus works its way to the brain, it begins to be secreted in the saliva of the animal. People and mammals get rabies when infectious saliva is introduced into the body, usually through a bite from an infected animal. Rabies transmissions from other types of exposures are extremely rare. These types of exposures include saliva or nervous tissue entering an open wound or saliva or nervous tissue coming into contact with a mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth. What are the symptoms of rabies in people?"

There are two main routes of administration: intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC). A third route is intramuscular (IM), although this is uncommonly used, except for hyperimmune globulins (eg, rabies immune globulin). There are also three different methods of administering immune globulin subcutaneously: traditional, facilitated subcutaneous, and subcutaneous rapid-push. The available preparations, dosing, administration, and adverse effects of SC and IM preparations of immune globulin will be reviewed here, particularly as used in antibody deficiency states. Comparisons between the methods of delivery are also discussed. Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is reviewed in greater detail elsewhere [ 1 ]. ( See \"\"Overview of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) therapy\"\" and \"\"Immune globulin therapy in primary immunodeficiency\"\" and \"\"Intravenous immune globulin: Adverse effects\"\" . ) Background — SC injections of immune globulin were originally employed by Bruton in the first patient diagnosed with agammaglobulinemia and in a follow-up paper 10 years later in 1962 [ 2,3 ]. Bruton also used animal-derived hyaluronidase to facilitate IM administration [ 3 ]."

"text": "Rabies Vaccine Vaccination against rabies is used in two distinct situations:to protect those who are at risk of exposure to rabies, i.e. preexposure vaccination;to prevent the development of clinical rabies after exposure has occurred, usually following the bite of an animal suspected of having rabies, i.e. post-exposure prophylaxis. The vaccines used for pre-exposure and post-exposure vaccination are the same, but the immunization schedule differs. Rabies immunoglobulin is used only for post-exposure prophylaxis. Modern vaccines of cell-culture or embryonated-egg origin are safer and more effective than the older vaccines, which were produced in brain tissue. These modern rabies vaccines are now available in major urban centres of most countries of the developing world. Rabies immunoglobulin, on the other hand, is in short supply worldwide and may not be available, even in major urban centres, in many dog rabies-infected countries. Pre-exposure vaccination Pre-exposure vaccination should be offered to people at high risk of exposure to rabies, such as laboratory staff working with rabies virus, veterinarians, animal handlers and wildlife officers, and other individuals living in or travelling to countries or areas at risk. Travellers with extensive outdoor exposure in rural areas – such as might occur while running, bicycling, hiking, camping, backpacking, etc. – may be at risk, even if the duration of travel is short. Preexposure vaccination is advisable for children living in or visiting countries or areas at risk, where they provide an easy target for rabid animals."

From Latin: rabies ) is a viral neuroinvasive disease that causes acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in warm-blooded animals. It is zoonotic (i.e., transmitted by animals), most commonly by a bite from an infected animal but occasionally by other forms of contact. Rabies is almost invariably fatal if post-exposure prophylaxis is not administered prior to the onset of severe symptoms. It is a significant killer of livestock in some countries. The rabies virus travels to the brain by following the peripheral nerves. The incubation period of the disease depends on how far the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system, usually taking a few months. [ 1] Once the infection reaches the central nervous system and symptoms begin to show, the infection is practically untreatable and usually fatal within days. Early-stage symptoms of rabies are malaise, headache and fever, later progressing to more serious ones, including acute pain, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, depression and inability to swallow water. Finally, the patient may experience periods of mania and lethargy, followed by coma."

Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacterial infection. The bacteria make a toxin, or poison, that causes severe muscle spasms. Tetanus can be very dangerous, but you can get a shot to prevent it. Tetanus is also called \"\"lockjaw\"\" because muscle spasms in your jaw make it hard to open your mouth. Tetanus also causes seizures and makes it hard for you to swallow or breathe. In the United States, most people have had shots to prevent tetanus, so the disease is relatively rare. People who have never been immunized or haven't had a booster in the last 10 years are more likely to get tetanus. This includes people who recently moved to the U. S. from countries where tetanus shots are rare. How can you prevent tetanus?"

The disease is a rare occurrence in the United States due to the effectiveness of the tetanus vaccine. In underdeveloped countries around the world, tetanus is much more common, with an estimated one million cases occurring annually worldwide. When a wound becomes contaminated with tetanus bacteria, the bacteria travel through the bloodstream and invade the nerve endings throughout the body. When the bacteria infiltrate the nervous system, muscle pain and stiffness and muscle contractions occur. The neck and the jaw are the most commonly affected areas, and tetanus infection can interfere with breathing when the respiratory muscles are affected. Does A Tetanus Shot Prevent Tetanus? In the majority of cases, tetanus shots given to immunize individuals against tetanus are very effective. People can be immunized against disease in one of two ways: Passive immunization occurs when antibodies are acquired through a natural process."

Vaccinations not only protect children from developing serious diseases but also protect the community by reducing the spread of infectious disease. Infectious diseases spread from person to person. If enough people are immunized, the disease may not be transmitted through a population, thus protecting everyone. This concept is called \"\"herd immunity.\"\" The concept is that the strongest (those immunized) protect the weakest (those not immunized). Diseases such as smallpox and polio have nearly disappeared because of immunization. Children get many immunizations during childhood. A community awareness campaign called Every Child by Two urges parents to make sure their children are protected against the diseases of childhood before the child reaches 2 years of age. Parents should consult their doctors about which vaccines their children should have and when."

One of the most stressful things for parents especially at the beginning is when their baby receives vaccines (shots). I know that even though I am a pediatrician the first few times my baby got her vaccination injections I was so anxious and upset seeing her cry and in pain after the shots. There are certain basic immunizations that all children receive but each state has its own requirements, which may vary state to state. The following is the recommended immunization schedule for children in the United States: When your baby is born she may receive the 1st Hepatitis B vaccine depending on what your pediatrician and the hospital recommends. Therefore your baby will get her 1st Hepatitis B vaccine either at birth or at 1 to 2 months of age. Besides the Hepatitis B vaccine, your baby will receive the first set of vaccinations are at 2 months of age. First set of shots, which are usually, not all given at the same pediatric visit DTa P (Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoids and acellular Pertussis)Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae type b)IPV (Inactivated Polio vaccine Hepatitis B vaccine (either #1 or #2 depending upon whether infant receive vaccine at birth)PCV or Prevnar (Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine)Rotateq vaccine (not required in NYS and many other places but recommended)DTa P vaccine Protects and gives infant immunity to Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis.

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend a specific childhood immunization schedule each year. Immunizations are recommended, because they protect against diseases (give immunity) or make a disease less severe if your child does get it. The schedule outlines the immunizations and booster shots needed from birth through age 18, as well as when catch-up immunizations should be given. The schedule for a premature infant is the same as for a full-term infant. But sometimes the hepatitis B vaccine is delayed. Many immunizations require more than one dose, given at varying intervals. Although your child does not need to restart the series if a scheduled dose is missed, the immunization should be given as soon as possible.

Vaccines to prevent these diseases are very effective, but underused. Some adults incorrectly assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. This is true for certain diseases, such as polio. However, some adults were never vaccinated as children. New vaccines such as the chickenpox vaccination were not available when many adults were children. And vaccinations for certain diseases must be repeated periodically to maintain immunity. In addition, certain vaccines are given to adults but not children. This is because with aging, we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections (such as flu or pneumonia ). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Department of Health and Human Services through the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the following recommendations about vaccines needed by all adults: Vaccines needed for all adults: Varicella ( chickenpox) vaccine Hepatitis B vaccines (adults at risk)Measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) vaccine Tetanus - diphtheria - pertussis (Td/Tdap) vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 50 years and older: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Vaccines needed for those aged 60 years and older: shingles vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 65 years and older: pneumococcal vaccine Vaccines needed for all health-care workers: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Annual updates are made each year by the CDC."

"text": "» Home » Conditions Disabilities » Musculoskeletal Disorders »Tetanus Shot Side Effects By Christopher Jacoby | Musculoskeletal Disorders | Rating: Tetanus is a medical condition that is very dangerous and one that can often prove to be fatal. The main manifestation of the disease is through muscle spasms which can occur thanks to a neurotoxin called tetanospasmin which is produced by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. The toxin can enter the body through a deep wound which is usually caused by something sharp and rusty. Most people associate this disease with rust. That is why when someone pricks their finger on a rusty nail or a rusty saw blade they go and get a tetanus shot. It is not guaranteed that you will be infected in every instance when you prick yourself on a nail. However, seeing as how the condition has an 11% mortality rate which is most frequent among those that do not get the vaccine, it is better to be safe than sorry. Even though most people think that they can get tetanus only from a rusty nail, that is not really the case. The rust simply provides a proper situation for the bacteria to develop and the nail is a good way for the toxin to get into the human body. However, this does not mean that there are not other ways in which you can get infected with tetanus."

Vaccines work best when they are given at certain ages. For example, children don't receive measles vaccine until they are at least one year old. If it is given earlier it might not work as well.

This cyst (called a Syrinx) expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the Spinal Cord. As the nerve fibers inside the Spinal Cord are damaged, a wide variety of symptoms can occur, depending upon the size and location of the Syrinx. ( There are other terms applied to this condition that are used interchangeably by physicians. These terms, Syringomyelia, Hydromyelia or Syrinx, all refer to an internal expansion of a normally very narrow Central Canal which occupies a center position the Spinal Cord and which is not normally dilated. ) There are two major types of Syringomyelia. In most cases it is related to a congenital malformation involving the Cerebellum and Brain Stem called the Arnold-Chiari Malformation. This \"\"malformation\"\" occurs during fetal development and is characterized by downward displacement of the lower part of the Cerebellum (Cerebellar Tonsils) through the Foramen Magnum, into the upper (superior) portion of the Cervical Spinal Canal. This displacement blocks the normal flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). If Cerebrospinal Fluid, as a result of the interference with its normal flow within the Fourth Ventricle of the Brain, is abnormally directed (under pressure developed in the cyclical beating of the Brain which is synchronous with beating of the Heart) into this Central Canal of the Spinal Cord, it may dilate the Central Canal."

"text": "The central canal is a small canal that runs through the center of the spinal cord and is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. It represents the remainder of the neural canal in adults. The neural tube develops to become the brain stem and, expands dorsally and laterally to create the fourth ventricle. Generally, the unchanged neural canal in the spinal cord forms the central canal. It is an anatomic extension of the ventricles and is also referred to as the spinal foramen. A spinal cord is about 18 inches (about 45 cm) long and connects the peripheral nerves to the brain. It is the major nerve tract of the body. The central nervous system is compromised of the brain and spinal cord — the central canal is at the very center of the spinal cord. This canal runs from the conus medullaris in the lumbar spine to the end of the fourth ventricle, and is attached to the ventricle by the opex. Generally, the outermost part of the canal is the gray commissure, which is a thin strip of gray matter that surrounds the central canal of the spinal cord."

General Anatomical Terms Anatomical position: Descriptions in human anatomy are expressed in relation to anatomical position. These positions describe where different body parts are found or what the direction of a movement is relative to the midline of the body or to another body part. Anatomical positions are referred to according to their orientation: Superior - toward the head Inferior - toward the feet Anterior - toward the front of the body Posterior - toward the back of the body Medial - toward the midline of the body Lateral - away from the midline of the body Body cavity: Houses the internal organs. There are three main body cavities: The thoracic cavity is the space above the diaphragm. It encloses the heart and lungs within the ribcage, sternum (breastbone) and twelve thoracic vertebrae."

"text": "\"Previous chapters described the ways in which the different somatosensory receptors respond to specific types of somatosensory stimuli and that the receptors, by virtue of their selective sensitivities, extract specific information about the somatosensory stimulus. The specificity of the receptors forms the basis for a parsing (i.e., a sorting) of somatosensory experience into separate “information channels” or pathways. For example, sharp-pricking pain is mediated in the neospinothalamic (information channel) pathway, whereas proprioception is mediated in the medial lemniscus pathway. Recall that the receptor's extraction of somatosensory information is very specific (e.g., during limb movement, muscle spindles respond to muscle stretch, whereas Golgi tendon organs respond to muscle contraction) and the processing of this extracted information is kept separate along most of the ascending pathway. In addition to this parsing of stimulus information, the somatosensory system is also organized to provide a somatotopic representation of the body surface and parts. The resulting spatial maps provide the anatomical basis for our ability to localize somatosensory stimuli and for our sense of a 'body image\"\". As described above, the nervous system reduces somatosensory experience into parallel streams of neural activity - a decomposition of the experience into stimulus fragments spread over body pieces. So how does one have a sense of \"\"oneness\"\" of the body and how does one identify an object by handling it? One can do so because somatosensory information converges in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex to provide a cohesive perception of the body and of somatosensory stimuli. The first part of this chapter will present additional details about the general organization of the somatosensory system and how somatosensory information is represented and processed in the parietal cortex."

It is considered the eleventh of twelve pairs of cranial nerves, or simply cranial nerve XI, as part of it was formerly believed to originate in the brain. The sternocleidomastoid muscle tilts and rotates the head, while the trapezius muscle, connecting to the scapula, acts to shrug the shoulder. Traditional descriptions of the accessory nerve divide it into a spinal part and a cranial part. [ 1] The cranial component rapidly joins the vagus nerve, and there is ongoing debate about whether the cranial part should be considered part of the accessory nerve proper. [ 2] [1] Consequently, the term \"\"accessory nerve\"\" usually refers only to nerve supplying the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, also called the spinal accessory nerve. [ 3]Strength testing of these muscles can be measured during a neurological examination to assess function of the spinal accessory nerve. Poor strength or limited movement are suggestive of damage, which can result from a variety of causes."

But even a simple movement like reaching out to pick up a glass of water can be a complex motor task to study. Not only does your brain have to figure out which muscles to contract and in which order to steer your hand to the glass, it also has to estimate the force needed to pick up the glass. Other factors, like how much water is in the glass and what material the glass is made from, also influence the brains calculations. Not surprisingly, there are many anatomical regions which are involved in motor function. The primary motor cortex, or M1, is one of the principal brain areas involved in motor function."

The brain plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions, including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory. Some reflex movements can occur via spinal cord pathways without the participation of brain structures. The spinal cord is connected to a section of the brain called the brainstem and runs through the spinal canal. Cranial nerves exit the brainstem. Nerve roots exit the spinal cord to both sides of the body. The spinal cord carries signals (messages) back and forth between the brain and the peripheral nerves. Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and also circulates within the cavities (called ventricles) of the central nervous system.

"text": "\"Basic Structure and Function of the Nervous System The picture you have in your mind of the nervous system probably includes the brain, the nervous tissue contained within the cranium, and the spinal cord, the extension of nervous tissue within the vertebral column. That suggests it is made of two organs—and you may not even think of the spinal cord as an organ—but the nervous system is a very complex structure. Within the brain, many different and separate regions are responsible for many different and separate functions. It is as if the nervous system is composed of many organs that all look similar and can only be differentiated using tools such as the microscope or electrophysiology. In comparison, it is easy to see that the stomach is different than the esophagus or the liver, so you can imagine the digestive system as a collection of specific organs. The Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else ( [link] ). The brain is contained within the cranial cavity of the skull, and the spinal cord is contained within the vertebral cavity of the vertebral column. It is a bit of an oversimplification to say that the CNS is what is inside these two cavities and the peripheral nervous system is outside of them, but that is one way to start to think about it. In actuality, there are some elements of the peripheral nervous system that are within the cranial or vertebral cavities."

Learning Objectives Describe the functions of the brainstem Key Takeaways Key Points In vertebrate anatomy, the brainstem is the posterior part of the brain adjoining, and structurally continuous with, the spinal cord. Though small, the brainstem is an extremely important part of the brain, as the nerve connections from the motor and sensory systems of the cortex pass through it to communicate with the peripheral nervous system. The brainstem also plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function, consciousness, and the sleep cycle. The brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain. Key Termspons: Contains nuclei that relay signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum, along with nuclei that deal primarily with sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture.midbrain: Associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep and wake cycles, alertness, and temperature regulation.medulla: The lower half of the brainstem that contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting, and vasomotor centers and regulates autonomic, involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Examples Diseases of the brainstem can result in abnormalities in cranial nerve function, leading to visual and hearing disturbances, changes in sensation, muscle weakness, vertigo, coordination problems, swallowing and speech difficulty, and voice changes. Location and Basic Physiology In vertebrate anatomy, the brainstem is the most inferior portion of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the brain and spinal cord. The brainstem gives rise to cranial nerves 3 through 12 and provides the main motor and sensory innervation to the face and neck via the cranial nerves. Though small, it is an extremely important part of the brain, as the nerve connections of the motor and sensory systems from the main part of the brain that communicate with the peripheral nervous system pass through the brainstem."

"text": "\"The Spinal Cord (Organization of the Central Nervous System) Part 1The spinal cord is a critical component for the transmission of sensory information to the brain as well as for the regulation of motor and autonomic functions. It receives sensory information from somatic and visceral receptors through dorsal roots, transmits this information to higher centers in the brain through ascending tracts, receives signals from higher centers through descending tracts, and transmits the signals to somatic and visceral target sites via the ventral roots. A number of reflexes are also mediated at the level of the spinal cord. These functions of the spinal cord and the anatomical, physiological, and clinical considerations associated with them are presented in this topic. Gross Anatomy The spinal cord is located within the vertebral canal and extends from the foramen magnum to the rostral edge of the second lumbar vertebra (Figs. 9-1 and 9-2). The coverings (meninges) of the spinal cord. FIGURE 9-1 Cervical spinal cord. Note that the spinal nerves from spinal segments C1-C7 exit through the intervertebral foramen located rostral to the cervical vertebra of the same name. The spinal nerve from C8 segment of the spinal cord exits through the intervertebral foramen located caudal to T1 (thoracic) vertebra."

"text": "\"Alan Woods7,451 views Real Estate Massachusetts Massachusetts has a lot to offer. You'll find mountains and coastal getaways, the atmosphere of Boston and the coziness of small towns, and some of the world's best colleges and universities. But residents pay big for the perks of living in one of the oldest states of the nation. With a cost of living well higher than the national average, how well do residents get by? We looked at average salaries across many different professions and the cost of living across the state to see how they compare. How much do Massachusetts residents make? Source:wikimedia.org Median incomes vary widely across Massachusetts cities and towns. Cambridge takes the award for the highest median salary, at $80,510 annually. That figure isn't surprising, in light of the fact that two of the nation's top universities--MIT and Harvard--are based in Cambridge, along with several major biotechnology companies and research hospitals. Burlington is a close second, with an annual median salary of $79,187."

Flag How much does it cost to build an apartment? Answer by Udtst Confidence votes 30A lot more than you think at this moment. How true with the current mortgage crisis and the Bank Bail outs... Probably more of a question of \"\"how long\"\" does it take to build a new Appartment complex and not \"\"how much\"\" cause I'm guessing it's going to be awhile... (as of july2009) Otherwise take your regular local Residential building cost (what it would normally cost you to build a house) per Square foot .... then figure how much square footage your going to have... My Appartment I'm living in Texas is an effecintcy maybe 500 to 800 sqft add in Appliances... stove... ice box... dishwasher... HVAC unit... water closet... tub shower... kitchen sink/disposal and bathroom lavatory... and that should get you a good starting figure... keep in mind that Building something like an Appartment should afford you some \"\"economy of scale\"\".... Off the top of my head I would figure here in Texas (out in the boonies... not in one of the metro area's like Houston ,Dallas, Austin, etc.... ) $75 per sqft gets you a decient quality residential house.... 500sqft times 75 equals..... $37,500 then multiply that by 100 units.... $37.5mill..... probably a bit less than that with scale figured in and that you would not always build 100 units and all the units would not all be effeincys... multi room appartments are oviously cheaper to build as you need fewer Appliances per sqft... -------------------------- Sorry but the math someone posted is wrong. $75 x 500 sqft = $37,500 x 100 units = $3,750,000 not 37.5 Mill10 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"How To Be Quick At Estimating Repairs March 10, 2011 by Mike Calvert · 1 Comment Estimating rehab costs There are a couple of different ways to estimate repairs when looking at investment properties. If you have control of the property and inspection period any of the options below work. If you're buying from a wholesaler then option two and three are your best choice. Experience will play a big role in what method you chose and finding an experienced investor to mentor you will go along way. Here are some of your options:1- You can hire a contractor to give you an estimate for the whole rehab or get estimates from all the different trades needed to complete the rehab. Usually the time needed to schedule all the trades to give you estimates will take too much time. The same with hiring a contractor to over see the whole rehab. The contractor as well needs to get his sub contractors out there for bids as well. Even if the contractor has his own crew it will usually take days before he can get a firm price. Time is of the essence when competing against other rehabbers."

The Expected Lifespans of Washing Machines How to Determine the Value of a Used Refrigerator It may seem like refrigerators run indefinitely, but while most have a longer life than other appliances, your refrigerator will not last forever. Refrigerators are not a small expense, so knowing their average life expectancy helps to determine when a repair is more cost-effective than buying a new one. Average Life Expectancy The average life expectancy for a properly maintained refrigerator is between 14 and 17 years, depending on model and size. Compact refrigerators typically run for 14 years on average, while a standard refrigerator will run up to 17 years. The life expectancy of your refrigerator is affected by how well it is cared for and its construction. Some models may last only about 10 years, while others may run for up to 19 years. Prolonging Refrigerator Service Life Proper care and maintenance can extend the life expectancy of your refrigerator. Place the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat-producing appliances. Make sure the coils on the back are several inches away from the wall, and clean the coils regularly to remove dust and debris."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial about Green Beans At WHFoods, we include green beans among our 38 profiled vegetables because most of our website visitors have become accustomed to seeing green beans in the produce section of their local store and treat green beans as a natural fit for the vegetable food group. In a more science-based context, however, green beans rightfully belong in the Beans & Legumes food group, are many aspects of their nutrient content are quite close to other foods in the Beans & Legumes family. For example, both green beans and other legumes provide concentrated amounts of fiber, folate, and numerous minerals. In this context, it is not surprising that a recent review study has included green beans among other legumes that have repeatedly shown the ability to lower our risk of chronic diseases. Included in the list of diseases are type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. Our short steaming time for green beans is not always directly analyzed in research study protocols. ( Those protocols often tend to \"\"overcook\"\" in comparison to our very short cooking times at WHFoods.) Although vegetable blanching typically involves direct submersion of vegetables in boiling or near-boiling water, blanching usually involves very brief submersion and we often like to look at blanching studies to get a better idea about the potential impact of our short cooking times, even if they involve steaming instead of boiling. We have seen one recent study on green beans that showed quick blanching—following by either refrigeration or freezing—to have no significant impact on the amount of beta-carotene in the green beans. By contrast, the same blanching process did end up lowering the beta-carotene in some other vegetables, including peas and carrots."

They can be very simple affairs or full-service events with all the bells and whistles. The average costs of a full-service funeral in the USA is over $7,000, which does NOT include cemetery costs such as the plot, opening and closing of the grave, or a headstone or marker, nor any social gathering afterwards. Below we have outlined the prices of 3 funeral types and the services and costs most often associated with them: Direct Cremation, Immediate Burial, and Full Service Funeral: Direct Cremation This is the most simple and least costly funeral type that has no ceremony. The funeral home is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to offer and list Direct Cremation on their general price list. The services included in the cost are:basic services of the funeral directortransferring of the body from place of death to the funeral homefiling of necessary paperwork such as death certificate, social security, cremation permit, transit permitreturning of cremated remains (ashes) to the family Direct cremation costs can range from $600-$4,000, all depending on which provider you choose. Those who specialize in direct cremation often are less costly than a full-service funeral home. Depending on the state, there are other costs to consider with direct cremation that may not be included in the Direct Cremation charge: Alternative Container: The alternative container is the container used for cremation and often made of cardboard.

Components made of concrete or brick can last a long time while major appliances are almost disposable, despite how costly they are to purchase, repair and replace. Examples of especially sturdy products include cabinets in a garage or laundry room, brick pavers, a concrete or cast iron waste pipe and copper rain gutter downspouts, all of which can last 100 years or longer, according to a 2007 National Association of Home Builders, or NAHB, study of home components’ life expectancy.

In our database are thousands of refrigerator dimensions we can look at to spot these sweet spots. Here we take a look at some of the more common dimensions, and which ones could severely limit your options. While the information here won’t guarantee that you find your dream fridge, it can help you to future proof your kitchen by choosing a layout that has lots of options to work with."

The Solar Powered Generator is an electric generator which will provide up to 1800 watts of household electricity (3600 watts peak); enough to run almost any electronic product or appliance you might connect to your wall outlet at home. No diesel or regular gas is needed! It consists of a battery pack that stores electrical energy, state-of-the-art electronics that convert 12 volts from the battery pack to household power, an AC power panel that contains five standard outlets, and a DC power panel that is used to run 12 volt products. The Power Source 1800 is packaged in an almost “indestructible housing” and is easy to move around as needed. Is it a generator? With the included solar panel, yes.

After my 32 cubic foot LG French door fridge died, I spent significant amount of time researching the \"\"next\"\" refrigerator, and this website was invaluable. We almost bought a Frigidaire Gallery French door fridge, but to my horror, all of the units I looked at had green corrosion on the copper refrigerant tubing solder connections. These are brand-new units. It's a tell-tale sign of sloppy workmanship. The green crud is corrosion from failure to wipe off excess flux during soldering. In time it will develop a leak. I decided it was time for back-to-basics: no-frills, good workmanship, Made in USA. I stumbled upon the Kenmore 22052 freezer which is made by Frigidaire/Electrolux in the USA (Most Frigidaire are made in Mexico). It is a freezer OR refrigerator (but not both -- it only has 1 compartment)."

We don't do stone tile at Becklers Carpet so I can't fully and intelligently go in depth about stone, but it would hold up like a tank if you had it (probably though like other tile, very expensive install cost and probably higher material cost than ceramic and porcelain). Ceramic and porcelain tile are both great for pets as the surface is very hard and holds up well to most pet traffic. Tile also does well with pet accidents, water, liquids etc."

Choose rigid insulation wisely, and consider the effect its characteristics will have on the performance of the your project, overall product cost, and the best way to get the bang for your buck. Expanded polystyrene (EPS)The most versatile of the three rigid insulation options, EPS is used in Roof, Wall, Floor, Below Grade & Structural Geo Foam applications. EPS foam is the insulation used most widely in insulated concrete forms and structural insulated panels. With the highest average R-value per dollar of the three types of rigid-foam insulation (about 4.6 R per inch), EPS foam costs the least, while meeting or exceeding all required building and energy codes. EPS is approved for ground contact, below grade applications and can be treated to resist insects, and it does not retain water over the long term. When applied as sheathing, EPS should be used over house wrap, or with a product that incorporates a factory laminated option. EPS is available faced or unfaced. Faced products are considered vapor retardant and specialty products are considered vapor barriers. EPS manufacturers (such as Insulfoam) typically warrant 100% of EPS’ R-value over the long term as EPS foam R-value does not degrade over time."

Engineered Wood Planks When you want the natural beauty and warmth of real wood flooring, but not the hassles of sanding and finishing, it's hard to beat engineered wood. This prefinished product comes in wide, long planks that snap together with precisely milled tongue-and-groove joints. There's no gluing or nailing. The 5/8-inch-thick planks simply float over a thin foam-rubber underlayment. Engineered planks are composed of all wood, but they're not solid wood. Let me explain: Each plank is a laminated sandwich of wood, similar to plywood. Most planks are made up of three layers: The bottom surface is a single sheet of thin wood veneer; in the middle, running perpendicular to the bottom veneer, are wooden cross-bands that measure about 1 inch wide and 5 to 7 inches long. On top is a prefinished surface of 1/8- to 3/16-inch-thick hardwood. Engineered planks come in three basic styles: one-, two- and three-strip, which refer to the number of hardwood strips adhered to the top surface."

"text": "\"Flooring Materials Laminate and Hardwood Flooring Comparison By Lee Wallender Updated 03/11/18Share Pin Email Getty / Jose Luis Pelaez Inc At first it would seem that solid hardwood -- as long as you can afford it -- is a better flooring choice than laminate flooring. During the early, formative years of laminate, that was very much an easy decision. Laminate was the inferior wood-look flooring that you sheepishly bought when you were not able to afford real hardwood. When your design-conscious cousin visited, you would make feeble excuses for your Pergo-floored kitchen. Besides looking nothing like wood, laminate flooring developed waves across the surface, and boards forced too tightly against each other could form peaks. But now, with laminate looking better and performing ever better, the decision gap has narrowed. Laminate, in fact, outperforms hardwood in many categories. With the differences blurred, no longer are the two floor coverings like night and day. Laminate Flooring Solid Hardwood Flooring Materials Laminate is thin fiberboard topped with an image of wood or stone, itself topped with a transparent wear layer. Solid hardwood is 100% wood (unlike engineered wood, which has a plywood base)."

By Lee Wallender Updated 06/22/17Share Pin Emailesp_imaging/Getty Images Laminate flooring manufacturers will always recommend that you install underlayment before laying laminate flooring. Yet is it necessary? While underlayment is the safe, default choice, in some instances it is not necessary. Begin with the manufacturers' recommendations and reasoning before moving onto the opposite view. Reasons for Underlayment Sound: Laminate flooring is so thin that it needs underlayment's extra help to feel and act like real wood. Consider sound transmission. You do not need foam padding under solid hardwood for many reasons, and one reason is because hardwood alone limits the transmission of sound, both within the room and to floors below. Laminate flooring is thin--usually no more t han 12mm --and is made of a type of fiberboard. So underlayment boosts laminate's sound absorbing qualities."

The slight increase in Social Security income means that the maximum monthly Social Security benefit at full retirement age will be $2,687 per month in 2017; however, the chance that someone gets that amount depends entirely on their past earnings and when they claim their Social Security benefits. Here's how the government decides how much you'll receive in Social Security benefits -- and what you can do to boost your take. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES. How is my Social Security calculated? It takes most Americans about 10 years of working to accumulate enough Social Security credits (40) to qualify for Social Security benefits. If you qualify for Social Security, then the Social Security Administration will calculate your monthly benefit by adjusting your income -- up to specific limits -- into current dollars. Your highest 35 years of adjusted income are then totaled and divided by 420 (the number of months in 35 years) to arrive at your average indexed monthly earnings (AIME)."

Matthew Frankel ( TMFMath Guy)Sep 5, 2016 at 7:05AMThis article was updated on December 7, 2017 and was originally published on September 5, 2016. Thanks to Social Security spousal benefits, you could be entitled to collect inflation-adjusted income for the rest of your life, even if you never worked or didn't work consistently throughout your career. There's a provision in the Social Security rules that says if your husband or wife's retirement benefit is more than twice what yours would be, a spousal benefit will make up the difference. If you've never heard of spousal benefits, then you may be surprised at how large they can be. What is a spousal benefit? In a nutshell, spousal benefits are intended to provide retirement income to Americans who have earned significantly less than their spouses. For example, if one spouse worked full-time for their entire career while the other stayed home to raise children, then a spousal benefit could provide income to the former stay-at-home parent."

Answers to your Social Security questions Social Security is like a big pension plan that covers most U. S. citizens who have worked during their lifetimes, as well as their spouses (including widowed and former spouses). The amount of your benefits depends on the number of years you (or your spouse) worked and the amount of Social Security taxes you paid during your career, which is based on how much you earned each year. Payment amounts are generally adjusted for inflation, so their purchasing power will remain fairly constant throughout your retirement. Social Security provides a baseline of guaranteed retirement income that helps many people meet their essential expenses.

"text": "\"Texas Maximum Child Support Increased September 1, 2013Texas guideline child support can be calculated based on how much money the payer (the parent paying child support) makes monthly less certain deductions (calculations are shown below). However, Texas child support guidelines have a cap on the amount of monthly income on which a parent must pay child support. On September 1, 2013, the maximum amount of monthly net resources from which child support can be calculated rose from $7500 per month to $8550 per month. The 2013 increased cap on the maximum guideline Texas child support payment started on September 1, 2013 for everyone meeting the higher income requirements, even those who already had a divorce decree or a court order about child support. Please be aware there is no across the board increase in child support! The September 1, 2013 child support increase only applies to payers whose gross monthly resources (income from all sources) is between $10,340.50 per month ($124,086 annually) and $11,828.81 ($141,945.72 annually) or more. The Texas 2013 maximum child support amount went up on September 1, 2013 from $1500 per month for one child to $1710; from $1875 for two children to $2137.50; and from $2,250 for three children to $2,565 unless there are other children to be considered (see the multifamily table below). Neither the Texas Attorney General nor the family court will automatically increase the amount of child support on or after September 1, 2013 if the payer's income is high enough to meet the new cap (although the AG's office does review child support at least every three years in each family so the state will review it sooner or later). In other words, to actually get paid the higher max child support, the parent who receives child support must bring the increased payment responsibility to the attention of the paying parent for his or her voluntary agreement to start paying more, or to the Texas Attorney General for action if the paying parent will not cooperate. The 2013 maximum child support cap increase is not retroactive in the sense that it would cause maximum child support payments made in the past to increase resulting in an arrearage."

And if you have a parent or family member with Alzheimer’s today, you know the costs of care can wreak havoc. Consider: The average cost of providing care for someone with Alzheimer's is nearly $60,000 a year. A private room in a nursing home costs more than $82,000 per year, on average. An assisted living community for a resident with dementia runs about $55,000 per year. The average rate for unskilled home-care assistance is $21 an hour. Medicare generally won't pick up the tab for the type of unskilled care most Alzheimer's patients need, like bathing, dressing and administering medications. If you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's or think you might someday, consider these resources and strategies to help you, other family members and the patient shoulder the costs: Plan ahead – way ahead Don't wait until things are in crisis mode, financially. “ Have a meeting with a financial planner or elder law attorney; the earlier the better,” says Beth Kallmyer, senior director of constituent service for the Alzheimer's Association.

Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in-home care services become necessary for some individuals as they age, however they’re rarely affordable and oftentimes very challenging to pay for out of pocket. For low-income seniors in Ohio who require a nursing home level of care, Medicaid may cover the costs of long-term care. The average cost of long-term care in Ohio is $1,224 - $7,604 per month, according to Gen Worth financial. Nursing homes are generally the most expensive types of long-term care, as they offer the most advanced services. The high monthly costs of long-term care in Ohio make Medicaid a common payer among Ohioans, and many seniors are left wondering if they may qualify for benefits. Ohio’s Medicaid for long-term care program is operated by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services ( ODJFS ). Both state and federal governments provide funding for the program, and each offers its own input as to how the program functions. The federal government is responsible for 69.5 percent of Ohio’s Medicaid budget, and Ohio is responsible for the remaining 30.5 percent. To be eligible to receive long-term care benefits through Ohio Medicaid, a person must be at least 65 years of age (or qualify as disabled), require a nursing home level of care, and meet the program’s asset and income requirements."

C. — On July 1, 2013, about 65,000 unemployed workers in North Carolina lost federally funded extended unemployment benefits because of a new state law that overhauled North Carolina's unemployment insurance program. 2As many struggle to make ends meet on an income reduced yet again by the change, the debate rages on about how much the state should help the unemployed. Here are a few key questions to consider about North Carolina's unemployment insurance program. 21. What is unemployment insurance? Each state administers a separate unemployment insurance (also called unemployment benefits) program, but in general, the state-federal programs are intended to provide temporary financial assistance to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and also meet other work and wage requirements. 3Benefits are determined based on a worker’s earnings during a base period, and each state sets guidelines about how much money an unemployed worker can receive and for how long he can receive it. For most, the base period normally includes the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters. Benefits are subject to federal and most state income taxes, and they must be reported on income tax returns in North Carolina. 1The first unemployment insurance program originated in Wisconsin in 1932, and by 1935, the federal government began encouraging individual states to adopt unemployment insurance plans."

If you also figure in the time value of money on these contributions, your total contribution to the system could be twice as much.

A good starting point is to find out the amount of retirement benefits that all your years of Social Security contributions entitle you to under current law.

Statistics released by the SSA this year show that just over 3 in 5 seniors (with a particular leaning toward elderly unmarried individuals) rely on their benefits to provide at least half of their monthly income during retirement. If that doesn't demonstrate the importance of Social Security to the financial well-being of seniors, then I'm not sure what will. Seven big changes are coming to Social Security next year Because of the importance of Social Security to seniors, when the SSA speaks, the entire nation tends to listen. Perhaps the most important release the Administration puts out all year comes in mid-October, when it announces the changes to America's most important social program in the upcoming year. Earlier this month the SSA released this data, and Americans can look forward to seven potentially huge changes to Social Security in 2017. Are you ready for these Social Security changes? Image source: Getty Images.1. Seniors are getting a raise Arguably the most followed SSA decision each year involves whether the benefits received by the more than 60 million Social Security beneficiaries, two-thirds of whom are seniors, are going to increase on par with inflation in the upcoming year. These cost-of-living adjustments, or COLA, are based on the movements of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or the CPI-W. The average reading during the third quarter of the previous year serves as the baseline, while the average reading during the third quarter of the current year provides the percentage basis for increasing the COLA in step with inflation."

The danger of losing a job or missing a promotion because of illness, pregnancy, or taking care of loved ones when so many companies are focused solely on the bottom line leaves too many moms and dads having to choose between their jobs and their families. About half of all workers on U. S. payrolls today are women. Moreover, the majority of mothers, whether married or single, work outside the home, meaning that in most American families, all of the adults work and there is no full-time stay-at-home caregiver. This is not just a “women’s issue” since the changing nature of our families impacts men and women, adults and children. Indeed, as our population continues to rapidly age, more and more workers are finding themselves providing elder care to their aging parents as well. While our workforce and families have changed dramatically, our nation’s labor standards have not been updated in decades. There are sensible policies that would assist families while simultaneously helping employers’ bottom lines, but both employers and policymakers have been slow to recognize how fundamentally our lives have changed and what needs to be done to make our workplace policies match the way that we live and work today."

"text": "Average DJ Rates Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality. Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $350 to over $5000, with an average of $1200 for a 4-hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight. A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours in your special event, but it may appear that you are only paying for “4 hours.” Consultations, music purchasing and editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education, and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion."

In 2012, newlyweds (and their families) spent an average of $28,427 on weddings and related events — the highest amount since 2008, according to an annual survey of 17,500 couples released by wedding website The Knot.com.

But spending still came in below the 2008 high of $29,334. \"\" Couples are a little bit more comfortable and able to splurge a little bit more,\"\" said site director Anja Winikka.

Other pricey wedding destinations included Chicago ($49,810), northern and central New Jersey ($48,496), Santa Barbara and Ventura, Calif. ($42,319) and Boston ($39,239).

The conversations abound on popular online wedding forums, still there are no true, one-size-fits-all answers. Spoiler alert: You unfortunately will not find any cut-and-dry answers here either. You ask: Why can’t I get an easy answer? Well, beyond the vast differences in obvious areas such as experience and personality, everything can be summed up in one word: Details. Service Providers Vary Greatly There are many particulars behind each service partner (or, “SP”) — this is the term we’ll use throughout this post when referring to the company or person handling your wedding day planning, logistical execution, music, emceeing, sound and acoustics, event flow, and more. You’ll understand this person to be your “DJ,” although in most cases you should actually expect the “DJ” to provide most of the services just mentioned. Right out of the chute, besides differences in experience and personality of which you already know are key, there are a couple of other important items that differentiate pricing among SPs, things you probably don’t think about.

Hip-Hop consists of four elements: rap, graffiti, break-dancing, and the disc jockey. In this paper, I intend to fully explain the evolution of rap music, from its infancy to the giant industry it is today. Hip-Hop emerged in the 1970’s upon the arrival of a one Kool DJ Herc. Kool DJ Herc migrated to the United States from Kingston, Jamaica and settled in the West Bronx of New York. Kool DJ Herc was a disc jockey that attempted to incorporate his Jamaica style of disc jockeying, which involved reciting improvised rhymes over reggae records. Unfortunately for Kool DJ Herc New York seemed uninterested in reggae at that time. This forced Kool DJ Herc to find another appealing sound in order to please his audiences, which he did. Kool DJ Herc adapted a new style, which involved him by chanting over the instrumental or percussion sections of the popular music of the day. He learned that by taking two identical records using an audio mixer, that he could play any segment over and over, there fore extending one segment for entire song (Light, 1999)."

It’s good to be a fan of something you like, but if your affinity makes you blindly biased, you’re not helping people by spreading your bias, you’re simply stroking your own ego. So, how do you get help, and how do you know what to buy? Certainly, you should talk to as many credible people as you can, both online and better still offline. People you might meet in person could SHOW you what they use, and the hows and whys. DJ conferences and other local meetings are GREAT for this as well, as you can get “hands on” with systems you’re considering. Youtube channels are also helpful, as long as you’re mindful that some youtube videos are DJs like yourself, while others are working FOR a specific company, which could bias their recommendations. However, at the end of this all, it’s YOUR decision. How to narrow it down, and wade through TOO MANY choices!If you’re DJing (or going to DJ) using software, START WITH THE SOFTWARE.

As a wedding planner, part of our job is to help our clients get the most value for their money, but sometimes it’s a real challenge to bring a clients vision to life because the dream they come to you with, is severely under-priced in their mind compared to the reality of what things cost. We wanted to be able to share with couples what the normal rates are in the wedding world so that they can dream within their scope of reality and know what they’re walking into when they begin to meet with vendors. There will always be options under these average costs, and quotes that come in way over. We know some couples will read this article and say, “Well my venue was only $100 per person,” and that’s to be expected. There are great deals to be had, but for the sake of general education, here is what we’ve come to expect as planners in the Canadian Wedding Industry!VENUEIf you’re going with a regular all inclusive food and alcohol banquet hall, the average cost we’re seeing with tax and gratuities included is around $120-$150 per head. If you’re going with a more original venue such as a museum or historic building that requires you to also bring in a caterer and rentals (chairs, tables, place settings, glass ware, furniture, lighting etc. ), expect to pay at least $200 per head.

Bulgaria’s restaurants rival those of Paris, London, and New York in terms of quality of ingredients, wine selection, and culinary passion. Here are the most notable restaurants we dined at during our trip to one of Europe’s gastronomic gems. We created videos for many of them, which you can watch by clicking the link. Rose Restaurant, Burgas Located along the main pedestrian street, Aleko Bogoridi, Rose Restaurant is one of the city’s best fusion restaurants. Diners will enjoy French-Mediterranean and Italian specialties, as well as an impressive wine list in a swanky, inviting space. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The restaurant is situated inside of a renovated 200-year-old home."

The ticker symbol for the Dow Jones industrial average = $DJX; at least this is for practical purposes because this is the symbol to input if you want to know the average at any point in time. Can you buy something with this symbol as you would buy a stock or a stock fund? The answer to this is no. If you want to buy the average, so to speak, then look for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that carries the 30 stocks of the DOW. Likely some ETF's may closely replicate the DOW, but may not be exactly the same. This question is for future research and one example is an i Share with ticker = IYJ.

Bermuda Triangle Devil's Triangle One version of the Bermuda Triangle area Coordinates 25°N 71°WCoordinates: 25°N 71°W [ show] Part of a series of articles on the paranormal The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely-defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery. The vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle is amongst the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships frequently crossing through it for ports in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean islands. Cruise ships and pleasure craft regularly sail through the region, and commercial and private aircraft routinely fly over it. Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.

S. S. Cyclops went off the grid somewhere north of Barbados, it became one of the most popular examples of the uncanny dangers lurking within the Bermuda Triangle. One of the Navy’s largest fuel ships, the Cyclops was last seen on this day, Mar. 4, in 1918, when it stopped in the West Indies on its way from Brazil to Baltimore, carrying 10,800 tons of manganese ore to be used in manufacturing munitions. But the ship never made it to Baltimore, nor did any of its 300 or so passengers and crewmembers. Despite an exhaustive search effort, no trace was ever found of the ship, and Naval investigators never landed on a definite cause for its disappearance. What made it all the more mysterious, according to a contemporary New York Times account, was that the captain never sent a distress signal, nor did anyone aboard respond to radio calls by the hundreds of American ships in the vicinity. What’s more, there were no storms strong enough to cause the Cyclops to founder, according to the Times, which went on to suggest that the ship might have been the target of German mines or U-boats. According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, one contemporary magazine suggested that a giant octopus had “ [risen] from the sea, entwined the ship with its tentacles, and dragged it to the bottom. ”The Navy, however, discounted the likelihood of either German or giant octopus attacks, opening the door to more supernatural speculation, and the Cyclops joined the list of more than 100 ships and planes to have disappeared under strange circumstances in the triangular region roughly bounded by Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico. While the Bermuda Triangle became a cultural fixation of the 1950s and 1960s, it has by now been repeatedly and comprehensively debunked. Its reputation as a kind of earthly black hole suffers every time a vanished plane or vessel reemerges."

Coast Guard)SS Marine Sulphur Queen, T2 tanker ship converted to carrying molten sulphur, noted for its disappearance in 1963 near the southern coast of Florida, taking the lives of 39 crewmen. The loss of the ship was the subject of lengthy litigation between the owner and families of the missing men. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Investigation3 Litigation4 Precident5 Bermuda Triangle connection6 The Crew7 Newspaper References7.1 On SS Sylvia L. Ossa8 Source Material History The vessel, originally named SS Esso New Haven, was built by Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Chester, Pennsylvania in March, 1944, one of many T2 tankers built to carry and transport oil. In 1960 she was placed in dry dock by Bethlehem Steel Company, Sparrows Point, Maryland, and converted to carrying a cargo of molten sulfur, and given a name change to Marine Sulphur Queen. In order to carry out the planned function of carrying molten sulfur, a continuous, independent tank 306 feet long, 30 feet 6 inches wide and 33 feet high was constructed out of the original holds, necessitating the removal of all transverse bulkheads in the original centerline tanks and modifying the internal structure; this tank in turn was divided into four smaller tanks internally. A void surrounded the tank on all sides, leaving a 2-foot clearance on the sides and bottom, with three feet left between the top and the ship's weather deck [1]. A steam system was installed throughout to maintain the molten sulfur at roughly 255 degrees. The ship's last voyage began on February 2, 1963 out of Beaumont, Texas, with a cargo of sulfur weighing 15,260 tons. On February 4, near Florida, an ordinary radio message was sent by a crewman, giving the position of the ship at 25°45' N, 86°W. The Marine Sulphur Queen was listed as missing on February 6. A search of the Florida Straits where the ship was believed to have gone down was called off after 19 days, after yielding life preservers and some debris, but no trace of the ship or the 39 men aboard her."

Jun 9, 2009, 12:28 PMHi everyone,My fiance and I are getting married August 29th in Washington DC, we've been trying to figure out where to go for a honeymoon. Ideally, we want somewhere close where we can just lie around on a beach doing nothing and relaxing. I went to Bermuda once about 11 years ago and loved it, so it strikes me as the ideal place to go (very close, beautiful beaches). However, our honeymoon would be the first week in September, which is prime hurricane season. With hurricanes getting worse (now hearing they're forming off the east coast), is it really worth the risk to go and hope a hurricane doesn't hit us? Or if it does, to hope it doesn't hit badly? I'm aware that some travel companies and hotels/airlines will offer refunds if your travel dates coincide with a hurricane, but I'm not sure if we also want to risk canceling our honeymoon (which would be a real bummer). What do you guys think? Mentioned in this post Washington DCDistrict of Columbia Report inappropriate content Related: What are the most popular tours in Bermuda?"

"text": "\"Live Science Strange News Is the Bermuda Triangle Really Dangerous? By Mindy Weisberger, Senior Writer | March 21, 2016 12:54pm ETMOREThe Bermuda Triangle has been linked to a number of mysterious disappearances dating back to 1945. Could something sinister be causing this, or is it simply explained by science? A vaguely defined expanse of the Atlantic Ocean triangulated between Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda has enjoyed a rather sinister — though perhaps largely unearned — reputation for decades. Dubbed the Bermuda Triangle, this area has been linked to a number of mysterious disappearances dating back to 1945, when a squadron of five U. S. Navy aircraft on a training mission vanished without a trace. What, exactly, happened to those planes — and to the ships and aircraft that supposedly went missing in the Triangle since then — is a matter of much speculation, with popular theories that run the gamut from the supernatural to science fiction. [ Gallery: Lost in the Bermuda Triangle]However, records kept by the Aviation Safety Network and the U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) indicate that many of these disappearances can be linked to storm activity in the area, or to unsafe conditions on the vehicles themselves. On the USCG website, the answer to the frequently asked question, \"\"Does the Bermuda Triangle really exist?\"\" is the statement, \"\"In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. \"\" In other words, normal ocean processes and simple human error are the likely culprits, and the Bermuda Triangle is no more mysterious, suspicious or dangerous than any other stretch of open ocean."

Dred Scott MEBuckner replies: The Sargasso Sea is often associated with the infamous “Bermuda Triangle” ( of which The Master has already spoken ). There’s a bit more to the Sargasso Sea than there is to the Bermuda Triangle, though–not that that’s saying much. The Sargasso Sea is a 2,000,000-square-mile ellipse-shaped region of the North Atlantic Ocean extending south and east of Bermuda. It’s called the Sargasso sea because comparatively large amounts of seaweed of the genus Sargassum can be seen floating on the surface."

Share Flipboard Email Print Stig Stockholm Pedersen / Getty Imagesby Stephen Wagner Updated August 15, 2017In an area that stretches from the Florida coast to Bermuda to Puerto Rico, the infamous Bermuda Triangle -- also known as the Deadly Triangle or Devil's Triangle -- has been blamed for hundreds of shipwrecks, plane crashes, mysterious disappearances, craft instrument malfunctions and other unexplained phenomena. Author Vincent Gaddis is credited for coining the term \"\"Bermuda Triangle\"\" back in 1964 in an article he wrote for Argosy magazine, \"\"The Deadly Bermuda Triangle \"\", in which he cataloged many of the anomalous events in the area. Several other authors, including Charles Berlitz and Ivan Sanderson, have added to their number. Top Bermuda Triangle Theories Whether or not phenomena of a paranormal nature are taking place there has been a matter of debate. Those who are convinced something odd is happening, as well as researchers who take a scientific view, have offered a number of explanations for the mystery. Vortices Fortean researcher Ivan Sanderson suspected that the strange sea and sky phenomena, mechanical and instrument malfunctions, and mysterious disappearances were the result of what he called \"\"vile vortices.\"\" These areas are places with extreme currents and temperature variations, affecting electromagnetic fields. And the Bermuda Triangle wasn't the only place on earth where this occurred. Sanderson drew out elaborate charts on which he identified ten such locations precisely distributed around the globe, five above and five below at equal distances from the equator."

If you don’t see your device listed or you see a misplaced link, send a PM to PG101, with the device details and a link to the root thread on XDA. For those new to the world of rooting, acquiring root access essentially grants you elevated permissions. With root access, you are able to access and modify files that would normally be inaccessible, such as files stored on the /data and /system partitions. Having root access also allows you to run an entirely different class of third-party applications and apply deep, system-level modifications. And by proxy, you may also be able to access certain device features that would otherwise be inaccessible or use existing features in new ways. Having root access isn’t the end all-be all of device modification–that title is usually reserved for fully unlocked bootloaders and S-Off.

"text": "How to Unlock Sprint Galaxy S4 for Global SIM GSMBy on November 8, 2013 in Android I recently traveled to Europe with my Sprint Galaxy S4 world phone. I planned on getting a pre-paid GSM SIM card to use for Google maps and navigation. It turned out great. At the airport, I found a “SIM Local” prepaid wireless shop and paid 20 euro (about $26 USD) for a Meteor SIM card that included 10 euro for 1GB data and 10 euro for calling (it costs 15 cents euro to call international, about 60 minutes). That will be plenty for just a week’s travel. Before I arrived, I rooted and manually unlocked ( following this guide) the stock Touch Wiz ROM on my S4. When we pulled the Sprint GSM card and put the Meteor card in, voice and texting worked right away; however, the data didn’t work and no Edge, 3G, or HSPC (H+) symbols were displaying. I had missed one last step that no one had mentioned in the root and unlocking demos: APN unlock. In order for the Sprint S4 to work on GSM data, you must unlock the APN settings that Sprint hides and locks by default. After the APN settings are unlocked you can now program your phone to use the GSM data plan."

"text": "\"31AT&T Next Monthly Plan Prices Reduced Temporarily, Still A Pretty Bad Idea For Most Customers Jeremiah Rice View All Posts Aug 10, 201333 43 28Total Shares 104AT&T News If you like the idea of being able to upgrade your phone once a year instead of every two, AT&T is more than happy to oblige with its Next plans... for a price. But adoption must have been a bit more tepid than they anticipated, because the monthly payments for phones on the Next plans seem to have been reduced without fanfare. Most phones have had their monthly finance-free charges reduced by a dollar, but some of the flagship phones have $5 reductions, scaling up to $60-100 in savings depending on when you upgrade. The Galaxy S4 16GB and the HTC One are both $27 a month - $540 over the 20-month 0% financing period, or $324 if you trade one in as soon as the 12-month upgrade period expires. ( Keep in mind, you have to trade it in in good condition, and you'll immediately start paying on your upgraded phone.) The tougher Galaxy S4 Active is now $26 a month on the Next plan, the Galaxy S III is a surprising $22 a month, the LG Optimus G Pro is $20, the HTC First \"\"Facebook phone\"\" is $19, and the Optimus G is just $17 a month. Other Android and non-Android phones are available, but aside from the various i Phones, they're not particularly notable. Strangely, the Galaxy Note II is considerably more expensive at $34 a month - $680 after 20 months, and damned frustrating for anyone who buys it now only to see a new model pop up in a few weeks. According to this report from Engadget the lower prices are for a limited time, but there's no word on when they'll go back up. Naturally, all of these charges are on top of AT&T's regular plans."

"text": "Home Buying Guides Cell Phones & Accessories Cell Phone & Smartphone Parts How to Replace a Galaxy S3 Digitizere Bay 474 Views 8 Likes Like Share March 13, 2016A cracked screen glass on a smartphone can be a major inconvenience that also interferes with the performance and functionality of a phone. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S3, the glass is also the unit's digitizer, the device that converts touch into a digital signal. If you are a Galaxy S3 owner with a damaged digitizer, you can actually undertake this repair on your own without having to send your phone into the repair shop. Just find the right tools and follow some straightforward steps to replace a Galaxy S3 digitizer and get your phone working again.1 - Assembling Your Tools To replace your S3's digitizer glass, you need some specialized tools that help you get into the chassis of the phone and remove certain components. Important tools to have include a plastic opening tool, a spudger, a heat gun, tweezers, 3M 2-mm double-sided tape, and plastic opening picks. You can find the hand tools sold together and even find them packaged with a replacement S3 digitizer in many cases.2 - Prepping the Phone Begin by powering off the smartphone completely. Then cover the area of broken glass with some packing tape in case the pieces come apart when you remove the digitizer. If you already have a plastic screen protector on the phone, this should suffice. Next, use your plastic opening tool to pry the back cover off the phone. Remove the battery, SIM card, and any memory card inside the phone.3 - Using the Heat Gun Your next step is to use the heat gun around the border of the digitizer to heat up and loosen the glue holding the digitizer to the LCD."

"text": "\"Toxins Return to home page Toxic Plants Toxic Animals Plague Anthrax Animal Toxins Batrachotoxin On a weight basis the batrachotoxins are among the most toxic natural substances known, being 250-times more toxic than strychnine. Batrachotoxin comes from the Greek words “batrachos” meaning frog, and “toxine” meaning poison. The lethal dose of this alkaloid in humans is estimated at 1 or 2 µg/kg. Thus, the lethal dose for a 68 kg (150 pound) person would be approximately 100 micrograms, or equivalent to the weight of two grains of ordinary table salt (Na Cl). Batrachotoxin is thus around fifteen times more potent than curare (another arrow poison used by South American Indians and derived from plants of the genera Strychnos and Curarea), and about ten times more potent than Tetrodotoxin contained in the puffer fish. The toxin is a neurotoxin so it primarily affects the nervous system, although it also has significant effects on the heart muscle Phyllobates terribilis Batrachotoxin is found naturally in several higher organisms such as from the feathers and skin of birds belonging to genus Pitohui, endemic to New Guinea. Batrachotoxin was also later found in New Guinean birds of the genus Ifrita . It is probable the birds contain such toxins to provide some protection against natural enemies, such as parasites and predators. The most famous higher organism containing this toxin is undoubtedly Phyllobates terribilis the Golden Dart Frog, which is endemic to the Pacific coast of Colombia. Alkaloid Batrachotoxins toxins do not readily deteriorate, even when transferred to another surface, in fact dogs have died just from contact with an area on which a frog had previously sat."

Spread of the Black Death in Europe and the Near East (1346–1353). The Black Death, also known as the Black Plague, Great Plague or simply 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. [ 1] [2] [3] The bacterium Yersinia pestis, which results in several forms of plague, is believed to have been the cause. [ 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. [ 6] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century.

This amount of time varies, depending on the type of plague that results. For example, the pneumonic plague incubation period is usually one to three days; for bubonic plague, the incubation period is typically two to six days. Plague Incubation Period: A Summary When a person becomes infected with the bacteria that cause plague ( Yersinia pestis ), the bacteria begin to multiply within the body. With bubonic plague, this occurs in the lymph system; with pneumonic plague, this occurs within the lungs. ( The lymph or lymphatic system is a major component of your body's immune system. The organs within the lymphatic system are the tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and thymus.) After one to six days, symptoms of plague can begin. The period between becoming infected and the start of plague symptoms is called the plague incubation period. The bubonic plague incubation period is typically two to six days."

Animals that are known to carry the bacteria include rats, prairie dogs, and fleas. During an outbreak, the bacteria can survive for months in cool, moist conditions, such as a rodent hole. Approximately 10 to 20 people in the United States develop an infection each year from flea or rodent bites. What Is Yersinia Pestis? Yersinia pestis are the bacteria that cause plague. This is a Gram-negative bacteria that can grow with or without oxygen (a quality called facultative anaerobic). The Family of Yersinia Pestis Yersinia pestis was formerly classified in the Pasteurellaceae family, but based on its similarities to Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), the Yersinia group has been reclassified as members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Although there are 11 named species in the genus Yersinia, only three are considered important human pathogens: Yersinia pestis Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Yersinia enterocolitica. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is the closest genetic relative to Yersinia pestis, but it can be distinguished from Yersinia pestis by the symptoms it causes and by laboratory test results."

The risk of plague is highest in areas that have poor sanitation, overcrowding, and a large population of rodents. In medieval times, the plague was responsible for the deaths of millions of people in Europe. Today, there are only 1,000 to 2,000 cases reported worldwide each year, with the highest incidence in Africa. Plague is a rapidly progressing disease that can lead to death if untreated.

Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague, an illness that occurs in humans, rodents, and ectoparasites (fleas and lice). The condition is caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria and characterized by large, infected lymph nodes called buboes. When an animal or person is infected with Yersinia pestis, the bacteria affect the lymph system, causing the characteristic symptoms. If bubonic plague is left untreated, plague bacteria can quickly multiply in the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague. The bacteria could also progress to the lungs, causing pneumonic plague. The mortality rate of bubonic plague is 50 to 90 percent if not treated; the mortality rate is 15 percent when this condition is diagnosed and treated early.

It was a terrible disease that was carried out with black rats and fleas. This terrible disease was affected the Medieval society. It was a terrible because so many peasants died and that nobody was left to farm the land and do the daily work. The Plague (or called \"\"Black Death\"\") was an epidemic that struck Europe. People from China and Mongolia came with infected fleas carried by rats going aboard ships and that were transported to Italy, Greece and France; when the ships docked, the rats left the ships entering cities bringing the fleas and disease with them. In 1348 the virus, known as the Yersinia pestis bacterium and until 1351 the bacterium had killed 1/3 of Europe. Leaving fewer farmers and other people that held jobs that were important to the economy."

The actual time varies for each type of plague, as do the symptoms. However, common plague signs and symptoms include fever, cough, and headache. In less than 10 percent of people with the disease, plague meningitis can develop. Symptoms of this type include stiff neck, fever, headache, and coma. Signs and Symptoms of Plague: An Overview When a person becomes infected with the bacteria that cause plague ( Yersinia pestis ), the bacteria begin to multiply. After one to six days, symptoms of plague can occur. The period between becoming infected and the start of symptoms is called the plague incubation period. If a person is not treated immediately, symptoms can rapidly worsen, and death may occur. There are three types of plague: Bubonic plague Septicemic plague Pneumonic plague (see Types of Plague )."

Plague is an infectious disease caused by bacteria usually found in small mammals and their fleas. It has an extremely high fatality rate and is very infectious, although it can be treated by antibiotics if it's caught early. There are three forms of plague infection: pneumoic plague, septicaemic plague and bubonic plague, the most common form. Bubonic plague was known as the Black Death in medieval Europe, where an outbreak brought entire civilisations to their knees and decimated the world's population. Black Death is spread through the bite of infected fleas, whereas pneumonic plague, the most contagious form, develops after a bubonic infection. Pneumonic infections can then be spread through the air, while septicaemic plague occurs when infection spreads through the bloodstream."

Symptoms of septicemic plague include rapid heart rate, severe headache, vomiting, and other symptoms. An Introduction to Septicemic Plague Plague is an infectious disease that affects animals and humans. It is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. This bacterium is found in rodents and their fleas, and occurs in many areas of the world, including the United States. Septicemic plague is one form of plague (the others are pneumonic plague and septicemic plague). It develops when Yersinia pestis enters the bloodstream. How Is Septicemic Plague Spread?

Bubo comes from the Greek word Boubon which means either the groin or a swelling in the groin. Origin for the Bubonic Plague Name Bubonic plague is named because of the symptoms. The bacterial infection produces a painful swelling of the lymph nodes. These are called buboes. Often the first swelling is evident in the groin. During the Middle Ages, a pandemic of bubonic plague was referred to as the Black Death, because of the blackening of the skin due to the dried blood that accumulated under the skin's surface.25 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

This climate is found on the west coast of midlatitude continents and is very humid through most of the year. Its geographic location places it in the path of westerly winds from the ocean that bring cloudy skies, much precipitation, and mild temperatures. The distribution of the climate is greatly influenced by the orientation of mountain systems in North America and Europe. Geographical Distribution The marine west coast climate is found along a relatively narrow strip of coastal Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and southern Alaska in North America. It is likewise found along coastal Chile in South America. The marine west coast climate extends further inland into northwest Europe than in North America due to the orientation of mountains. This climate is also found on the southeast coast of Australia and New Zealand. Controlling Factors The most important control over the climate characteristics of the marine west coast is its west coast location in the midlatitudes. Here maritime polar air masses are constantly coming ashore bringing mild temperatures and high humidity."

The question is complex, and I do not believe that we have an answer for this any more than we do for Global Warming. In the geologic rock column there are precambrian rocks that are glacial rock deposits. So that means we've had glacial cycles for a very long time. To look at today's earth and try to give an explaination for the Pleistocene glaciation which started 2.5 million years ago probably would not explain them all. For instance, the placement of the continents today controls ocean currents, winds, and overal global temperature. If the continents were in one mass like they were with Pangea, or partially together like Gwondwanaland it creates a whole new dynamic of climate behavior, something the global warming clowns do not even discuss in their current doom and gloom wet dreams. Since continental drift takes millions of years, it can be expected that our current situation has been and will continue to be dominated by our current continental configuration. Disruption of the Trans Atlantic Conveyor current by melting glacial ice could well plunge us into another deep freeze of glacial ice long before the world heats up like it has in the past, when massive continents controlled the global climate. Imagine a single contient situated along the equator where it baked in the sun heating up the atmosphere and one gigantic ocean that soaked up the heat part of the day but did not release it as quick as the land."

A brutal and potentially historic heat wave is in store for the West as parts of Nevada, Arizona and California may get dangerously hot temperatures starting Thursday and lasting through next week. In fact, by the end of the heat wave, we may see a record tied or broken for the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth. The furnace-like heat is coming courtesy of a “stuck” weather pattern that is setting up across the U. S. and Canada. Starting this weekend, the jet stream — a fast-moving river of air at airliner altitudes that is responsible for steering weather systems — will form the shape of a massive, slithering snake with what meteorologists refer to as a deep “ridge” across the Western states, and an equally deep trough seting up across the Central and Eastern states. Heat statistics for Las Vegas, Bishop and Death Valley, Calif. Credit: NWSAll-time records are likely to be threatened in normally hot places — including Death Valley, Calif., which holds the record for the highest reliably recorded air temperature on Earth at 134 ° F. That mark was set on July 10, 1913, and with forecast highs between 125°F to 130°F this weekend, that record could be threatened. The last time Death Valley recorded a temperature at or above 130°F was in 1913. Las Vegas and Phoenix, two cities well-known for their hot and dry summers, are also predicted to approach all-time record territory.

It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear ( Ursus arctos middendorffi ). [ 3] A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (772–1,543 lb), [4] while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, [5] it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet. [ 6] Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice. Their scientific name means \"\" maritime bear\"\" and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals. ["

Source: Prism Climate Group When you look at a weather map, or listen to the weather report on the news, you probably wonder: What are the forces that control our daily, weekly, or monthly weather patterns? Weather forecasters use their understanding of these forces to predict the upcoming weather events, and with a little practice, so can you. Over time these weather patterns become the averages that we know as climate. On the map to the right you can see the average annual precipitation patterns for the past 30 years in the United States. Areas colored blue receive more rainfall on average than areas colored orange or reddish brown. Can you predict why some areas might receive more rainfall than others? In addition to the global circulation patterns that you reviewed in the first part of this lab, six continental- and regional-scale forces work together to control weather and climate in your part of the country. These forces, called \"\"Synoptic-scale drivers,\"\" each contribute to the weather that we experience on any given day, week, or month. The region of their influence can be several hundreds to thousands of kilometers wide covering large sections of the continents."

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( June 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Temperate rain forests, such as this in Washington's Olympic Peninsula, often grow right up to the shoreline. The Pacific temperate rainforests ecoregion of North America is the largest temperate rain forest ecoregion on the planet as defined by the World Wildlife Fund (other definitions exist). The Pacific temperate rain forests lie along the western side of the Pacific Coast Ranges along the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America from the Prince William Sound in Alaska through the British Columbia Coast to Northern California, and are part of the Nearctic ecozone, as also defined by the World Wildlife Fund. The Pacific temperate rain forests are characterized by a high amount of rainfall, in some areas more than 300 cm (10 ft) per year and moderate temperatures in both the summer and winter months (10–24 °C or 50–75 °F). This ecoregion is a subregion of the Cascadia bioregion. These rain forests occur in a number of ecoregions, which vary in their species composition, but are predominantly of conifers, sometimes with an understory of broadleaf trees, ferns and shrubs. In the WWF's system, sub-ecoregions of the Pacific Temperate Rain Forests Ecoregion are the Northern Pacific coastal forests, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia mainland coastal forests, Central Pacific coastal forests, Central and Southern Cascades forests, Klamath-Siskiyou forests, and Northern California coastal forests ecoregions. The forests in the north contain predominantly Sitka spruce and western hemlock, while those in the coastal forests are home as well to coast redwood ( Sequoia sempervirens ), coast Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ), western redcedar and shore pine."

"text": "Written by Scott Auerbach Related Articles1Effect of Human Activities on the Environment2Ecological Concerns That Affect the Tundra3Does Water Pollution Threaten Seahorses?4How Does the Release of Car Exhaust Fumes Cause Global Warming? Physical geography is the study of natural features and phenomena on the planet's surface and our interactions with them. These features include vegetation, climate, the local water cycle, and land formations. Geography doesn't just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people's lifestyles, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns. As humans have migrated across the planet, they have had to adapt to all the changing conditions they were exposed to. Land Formation Land formation is the physical shape of an area and the several processes that help form that shape. One process that makes a big impact is plate tectonics: the movements of crustal plates on the Earth's surface. These plates are constantly sliding past and colliding into one another. Plate movements can affect the availability of water by disrupting rivers and they disturb land formations that humans have settled on, like an earthquake ravaging a major city. Animals hunted by humans for food can be displaced as well, forcing people to move to another area to survive."

Regions with Mediterranean climates Hot-summer mediterranean climate ( Csa)Warm-summer mediterranean climate ( Csb)A Mediterranean climate / ˌ m ɛ d ɪ t ə ˈ r eɪ n i ə n / or dry summer climate, is the climate typical of areas in the Mediterranean Basin. The Mediterranean climate is usually characterized by rainy winters and dry, warm to hot summers. While the climate receives its name from the Mediterranean Sea, an area where this climate is commonplace, it is also present in other areas of the planet, although with variations in the distribution of temperatures. In addition to the Mediterranean Basin, the climate is also found in most of California in the United States, in parts of Western and South Australia, in southwestern South Africa, sections of Western and Central Asia, and in Central Chile. Outside the Mediterranean Basin, the Mediterranean climate is usually located geographically on the western coasts of continental masses, typically between oceanic climates towards the poles, and semi-arid and arid climates towards the equator. In essence, a Mediterranean climate is a combination of the three climates with winters somewhat mimicking winters in oceanic climates and summers imitating dry seasons in semi-arid and arid climates. Additionally, Mediterranean climates tend to be wetter poleward and drier towards the equator. The resulting vegetation of Mediterranean climates are the garrigue in the Mediterranean Basin, the chaparral in California, the fynbos in South Africa and the Chilean scrubland in Chile. Areas with this climate are where the so-called “Mediterranean trinity” has traditionally developed: wheat, vine and olive."

Life here endures some of the greatest extremes in light and temperature known to our planet. Yet despite these inhospitable conditions, the Arctic Ocean is teeming with life. Great polar bears roam the Arctic ice and swim the Arctic seas. Supporting these top predators is a complex ecosystem that includes plankton, fish, birds, seals, walruses, and even whales. At the center of this food web, supporting all of this life, are phytoplankton and algae that produce organic material using energy from the sun.

According to The Dog Food Project, dog food will cost $160-$250 per year for a moderately active mid-sized dog. The overall average price per year is $100-$300. This price largely depends on the size of the dog and the quality of the dog food. A large bag of store brand dry dog food for a medium sized dog will probably be on the lower side of $160 per year, while a high-quality gourmet dog food for a medium sized dog will cost about $200 per year.

"text": "\"Your husky's caloric needs depend on his size, age, activity level and environment. Siberian huskies were bred to conserve energy, increasing their endurance in frigid conditions, so they require less food than most dogs their size. The monthly cost to feed your husky depends on what quality food you choose, whether you make your own dog food, taxes in your area and how hard you're willing to look for a deal. Dry Dog Food The typical recommendation for an adult Siberian husky is 2 cups of dry food a day. This varies depending on your dog's size and activity level. Two cups equals one pound of dog food, which equals 30 pounds of food per month. The typical mid-range brand bag of kibble (Purina, Alpo, or Iams for example) costs about $35 per 30 pound bag. So, the cost per month would be roughly $35 per month. Premium or natural dog food can cost $60 to $70 for a 30 lb bag for brands such as Blue Buffalo, Eukanuba, and Wellness. Because dogs can eat slightly less when eating premium dog food, a husky would eat about 1 1/2 cups per day."

"text": "The Cost of a Getting a Dog When most people think of the cost of getting a pet, they think of the purchasing/adopting cost of getting the animal. If you’re getting a dog from a reputable breeder, the price could be anything from $800 to several thousand dollars. If you’re adopting the dog from the humane society or a shelter, the cost could be between $35 and $400. It all depends on the animal and whether or not it’s a pure-breed or a mix. ( Side note: you’ll notice I didn’t put “acquiring the dog at a pet store” in there. Despite their claims, many pet stores sell puppy mill puppies, which is not only tragic for the animals, but can end up costing you more than you bargained for in the form of a difficult-to-train animal with potential genetic defects. This does not apply to all pet stores, but if you’re going to get a dog from a pet store, be sure to ask the right questions . ) But there are other costs associated with the new dog, which many would-be pet owners don’t consider, and can end up affecting the short-term and long-term budget more than they anticipated. Initial Cost Purebred: $500 – $2,000 Mutt / Rescue: $40 – $400Depends on the type of dog. Make sure that you always buy your dog from a reputable breeder (the dog will be healthier in the long run) or adopt from a reputable shelter."

"text": "Iceland: How much things cost & how to visit on a low budget By Roger Wade 06 Dec, 2016 Comments (268) Add a comment Since its currency crash in 2008, Iceland had gone from absurdly expensive to somewhat reasonable in cost, and that has prompted thousands of new tourists to stream in to see what all the fuss is about. It's hard to find a visitor to Iceland who didn't absolutely love the place, but you won't find anyone who tells you it's cheap, so planning ahead is essential. Prices have continued to creep up in 2015 and 2016, so it's again among the most expensive European destinations. Many visitors arrive on an Iceland stopover going between North America and Europe, but with very cheap flights to and from Europe it's becoming popular for adventurous types from all over the continent. In 2013 I spent 9 days in the country, always checking for prices and the cheapest ways of doing things, so below I can lay out how to budget and what to do to keep costs down. Note: This article was first written in late 2013, but all prices have been updated as of December 2016 to be current through 2017. Reykjavik vs. the rest of Iceland: Where to go Many people stop over in Iceland for as few as 6 or 8 hours between flights, and you can actually see a surprising amount in that short of time. The capital city is about an hour away by bus, but it's not nearly as interesting as the natural sights in the area, so only plan on staying in Reykjavik if you have multiple days and you are curious about cities in general. If you have one night or a few nights you are better off taking a bus or renting a car directly from the airport and heading east along the southern coast for some of the country's best sights. If you have at least a week you'll want to rent a car and do a lap around Iceland's famous Ring Road, allowing you to see nearly everything the country has to offer in a neat and organized way."

The inventory system includes a purchase order module. Each purchase order has a list of line items including: Description of item Quantity to order Unit of measure Unit priceamong others. When asked about the \"\"unit of measure\"\" field, my response is always to use a unit label that reflects the manner in which you consume or resell the items. Here are a couple examples of what I mean:\"\"cc\"\" for liquid medication stored in a bottle\"\"Bar\"\" for a candy bar\"\"Bag\"\" for a bag of dog food This is clear when the unit of measure being consumed or resold matches the unit of measure on a received invoice. My problem is when it does not match. For example, medication is usually sold by the bottle, but dispensed by the cc or pill, candy bars are purchased by the box or case and sold individually, and dog food can be purchased by the pallet and sold by the bag. In my experience in the past few months, I have realized that's it's unrealistic for a user to translate boxes into bars or bottles into cc, but I have not yet found a good way to remove the need for the mental translation. Should I set up a table for equivalencies (1 box = 12 candy bars, 1 bottle = 1000cc, etc) and ask the user which they are ordering?"

Therefore, I thought my vet would know what food was best for her. Shortly after getting Sally, I rescued my other cat, Phillip, from a terrible hoarding situation. I fed them both Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive like my vet suggested and it went well. However, when both my cats approached around a year old, I decided to switch them to Royal Canin Cat Instinctive. At first, I didn’t switch them slowly enough, and Phillip puked, which was my fault. A few month later, I tried again and followed exactly as my vet instructed. I started with 1/4 tsp of adult food mixed with the kitten food. This 1/4 tsp made Phillip defecate on the floor; something totally out of character for him. The feedback I received was “Oh, Royal Canin makes food for sensitive stomachs.”"

The point of this article is to assist you in choosing the best of what is available in dog and cat kibble, but... I have to be 100% honest with you, I have yet to find a dog or cat kibble that is truly: Nutritionally complete;Truly species appropriate;Truly free-of toxins and carcinogens. In addition it is important to note that no matter what dog kibble you purchase, in order to ensure your dog's or cat's overall health you will have to supplement his/her diet with other items such as: Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and;Probiotics;You will see why further below. But yes, there is a vast difference between the majority of dry dog food (dog kibble) and the truly better dry dog foods. The number of obese dogs and cats has increased in recent years. As well, so many dogs and cats are getting cancer and other diseases. The proof is in the numbers;Statistics recorded by veterinary organizations from the 1950's up to present day are very telling;T he life-span of a companion dog in North America is now half of what it was in the 1950's;In the 1950's the average life-span of a golden retriever was 15 to 16 years, today the average is in the range of 8 to12 years;In 2005, 50% of older dogs dies from cancer, and the number is on the rise. There are three main reasons for this downturn in the health of dogs and cats;Inappropriate diet (the wrong type of food and food that contains toxins and carcinogens);Lack of exercise,and;Environmental contaminants. Your dog’s and cat's best defense against cancer and other diseases is a strong immune system: Diet plays a big role in a dog’s and cat's ability to maintain a healthy immune system. If you are feeding commercial dry or wet food (kibble), knowing how to choose a quality product is essential for your dog’s and cat's physical and mental health and well being;And please don't make the mistake of assuming that the price of a product is reflective of that products quality and safety - it is not."

The dog bites and even if it was in pain or scared, it is still the one that gets to blame, when really the kid should be getting a spanked backside for not treating the dog properly.

"text": "\"Lies, Self-Deception, and Malignant Narcissism Who is most susceptible to being manipulated by narcissists? Posted Oct 11, 2017SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: Wikimedia Commons by Caravaggio. We now have a bestselling book titled The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump ( here) about President Trump's presumed psychiatric condition, comprised of 27 essays from prominent and distinguished psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals. Contributors include luminaries like psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, and Stanford psychologist and PT blogger Philip Zimbardo. Do they have the right or perhaps even the professional responsibility, as they believe, to insert themselves into the political process by remotely diagnosing the President? Is there, as they contend in the book, a \"\"duty to warn\"\" the American public and the world about the perceived potential dangerousness of Donald Trump's personality and presidency? ( I have already addressed some of these key questions in a prior post. ) According to a fascinating 2006 psychobiographical study by Duke University Medical Center of 37 former U. S. presidents' lives, a stunning 50 percent of them suffered from some sort of diagnosable mental illness, including major depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders—many manifesting symptoms during their presidential tenures. ( See this PT blogger's post.) The list includes some of our greatest presidents, like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln."

"text": "What Kind of Beans Should I Eat? The Great Slow Carb Bean Index By Jason on July 23, 2011 in Slow Carb Diet, Slow Carb Tips Lentils, Lentils and More Lentils If you’re following the Slow Carb Diet to a “T”, you are likely consuming a lot of beans and lentils. Perhaps too many . Perhaps not enough. It’s friggin’ confusing, isn’t it? One of the most common questions I see posted on forums is people asking what type of bean they should be eating and how much of them should they eat (the other most common request is for a slow-carb meal plan ). This is a particularly important question for those who have reached a plateau on their weight loss or those who are vegetarians and trying to maximize protein intake. Bean Quality – what gives the most bang for your buck? I decided to do a little research on the macro-nutrient counts of various legumes to see how they stack up. For this chart, I’ve compared 1 cup, cooked of each type of legume."

"title": "http://water.unl.edu/drought/whatisdrought\nWhat is Drought?",
"text": "\"The Republican River in Hitchcock County, Nebraska, is completely dry on July 25, 2005. Photo courtesy of Melissa Melvin, SNR/NDMC. Drought is an insidious hazard of nature. It is often referred to as a \"\"creeping phenomenon\"\" and its impacts vary from region to region. Drought can therefore be difficult for people to understand. It is equally difficult to define, because what may be considered a drought in, say, Bali (six days without rain) would certainly not be considered a drought in Libya (annual rainfall less than 180 mm). In the most general sense, drought originates from a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time--usually a season or more--resulting in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. Its impacts result from the interplay between the natural event (less precipitation than expected) and the demand people place on water supply, and human activities can exacerbate the impacts of drought. Because drought cannot be viewed solely as a physical phenomenon, it is usually defined both conceptually and operationally. Conceptual Definitions Conceptual definitions, formulated in general terms, help people understand the concept of drought."

Febr. 9, 1926) Translated by Birgit Calhoun When I am making the decision to report without hesitation to a wider circle about my personal problems, which ordinarily wouldn't concern others and would not be worthy of publication, I am driven by the intense desire to warn emphatically all those who have to deal with metallic mercury about the dangers of this unstable metal, and to save them from the horrible experiences which have spoiled a great part of my life. Today I can speak about them freely because luckily they have been concluded, and they are behind me with sufficient distance. The insidious horror of mercury is not nearly sufficiently well known and is being taken note of too little in those places where one is particularly threatened by it, in chemical and physical laboratories. For nearly 25 years I have suffered from ailments, which, in the beginning, arose only occasionally, then gradually got worse and worse and finally increased to unbearable proportions so that I disparingly doubted my ability to continue to work scientifically. The cause was understood neither by me nor many outstanding physicians."

George Lucas based it on the word Dark. In his words he has stated: Darth' is a variation of dark. And 'Vader' is a variation of father. So it's basically Dark Father. All the names have history, but sometimes I make mistakes -- Luke was originally going to be called Luke Starkiller, but then I realized that wasn't appropriate for the character. It was appropriate for Anakin, but not his son. I said, 'Wait, we can't weigh this down too much -- he's the one that redeems him. Unlike many have assumed however, Darth does not mean Dark in Dutch.

"text": "\"#Sons Of Anarchy'Sons Of Anarchy' Star Confirms His Role In The Upcoming 'Mayans MC' Spin-Off November 15, 2016 at 02:47AMBy Katie Granger, writer at Creators.co MP Staff Writer, come to bargain. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since FX's critically adored ( and hilariously controversial) show #Sons Of Anarchy came to its violent, roaring end. Kurt Sutter's motorcycle club crime drama captured the hearts of viewers the world over, and it came with a warning label not to get too attached to any of the characters well before a certain HBO show came along. Because, like Game of Thrones, no character of Sons of Anarchy was safe — no matter how beloved they may have been. And not many of them got out alive. But a few made it past the show's seven seasons intact, and one such character is almost definitely returning for the long awaited spin-off. Nope, not this guy (sorry) (FX)The possibility of a Sons of Anarchy prequel series — which was tentatively titled First 9 — had been flying around since before the final season had even been wrapped up. Back in 2014, Sutter claimed that he was planning a spin-off prequel series to be set around the time of the Vietnam War and focusing on the nine founding members of SAMCRO.

Now that a new year is upon us, it’s time to look forward, into the darkness. So far, 2013 looks like it’s going to be a mind-blowing year for horror films. This is the most excited we’ve been in years to see what Hollywood can scare up on the silver screen. In fact, we’re anticipating this year to propel the genre into a new golden age of horror cinema. Some of the best horror directors around are set to unleash films this year: Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, Del Toro, Chan-wook Park, and Sam Raimi, to name just a few. Without further ado, the following films are essential horror viewing for 2013!The Evil Dead The new Evil Dead remake looks incredibly promising in comparison to the hundreds of remakes that are soullessly churned out by Hollywood studios. With the presence of Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell as producers we have faith that this film will deliver on the promise of its trailer, which looks like a respectably contemporary take on the original. We’re also excited to say that the balance between camp and genuine scares looks to lean towards the latter."

"text": "There are quite a few types of testicular and scrotal conditions. Testicular cancer is likely the most well-known condition, but there are many other benign conditions of the testes and scrotum that range from minor to life-threatening. Some of the more common disorders and conditions that affect the testicles and scrotum are: Epididymitis Epididymitis is inflammation or infection of the epididymis, which is the long tube that rests along the testicles. Epididymitis can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, injury, a side effect from a vasectomy, and other problems. The symptoms of epididymitis may include pain (from mild to severe), swelling of the testicles or scrotum, nausea and vomiting, and fever. Hydrocele Hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicles. It can affect one or both testicles, and it can cause swelling in the scrotum and groin area. Hydrocele is not usually painful or harmful, and it may not need treatment. However, any swelling in the scrotum should be evaluated by a doctor. Once in a while, hydrocele can cause symptoms other than swelling, such as mild pain, tenderness, or redness of the scrotum."

"text": "Print Overview Scrotum, testicle and epididymis Epididymitis (ep-ih-did-uh-MY-tis) is an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Males of any age can get epididymitis. Epididymitis is most often caused by a bacterial infection, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Sometimes, a testicle also becomes inflamed — a condition called epididymo-orchitis. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of epididymitis might include: A swollen, red or warm scrotum Testicle pain and tenderness, usually on one side, that usually comes on gradually Painful urination or an urgent or frequent need to urinate Discharge from the penis Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvic area Blood in the semen Less commonly, fever Chronic epididymitis Epididymitis that lasts longer than six weeks or that recurs is considered chronic. Symptoms of chronic epididymitis might come on gradually. Sometimes the cause of chronic epididymitis isn't identified. When to see a doctor Never ignore scrotal pain or swelling, which can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of them require immediate treatment to avoid permanent damage. If scrotal pain is severe, seek emergency treatment."

"text": "Epididymitis/Orchitis Overview Print Overview of Epididymitis and Orchitis Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, which is a structure located on top of each testicle (testis). The epididymes are an important part of the sperm development process and are more prone to infection than the testicles. Orchitis, inflammation of the testicles, usually results from the spread of infection from the epididymis. Most cases of isolated orchitis (i.e., orchitis that develops without epididymitis) are a symptom of the mumps (a viral infection that usually begins in the salivary glands). When epididymitis and orchitis occur together, it is called epididymo-orchitis. These conditions cause inflammation and pain that is often limited to one, but can involve both sides of the scrotum. Acute epididymitis, orchitis, and epididymo-orchitis cause sudden pain that usually responds well to treatment. Chronic conditions cause pain that develops gradually and can be more difficult to treat. Acute and chronic cases may result in male fertility problems or testosterone deficiency. Incidence and Prevalence of Epididymitis and Orchitis Acute epididymitis is common in young men, and can affect males of any age."

Most cases of orchitis in children are caused by infection with the mumps virus. Orchitis caused by a bacterial infection most commonly develops from the progression of epididymitis, an infection of the tube that carries semen out of the testicles. This is called epididymo-orchitis. The majority of cases of mumps orchitis occur in prepubertal (less than 10 years old) males, while most cases of bacterial orchitis occur in sexually active men, or in men older than 50 years of age with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Orchitis Causes Share Your Story Orchitis in children most commonly occurs as a result of a viral infection. The virus that causes mumps is most commonly implicated as the cause of orchitis. Approximately one third of boys will develop orchitis from mumps infection. It is most common in young boys, and testicular inflammation typically develops 4-6 days after the onset of mumps. There are case reports of mumps orchitis occurring after immunization with the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, but this is rare."

What are the other Names for this Condition? ( Also known as/Synonyms)UTI (Men)UTI in Men What is Urinary Tract Infection in Men? ( Definition/Background Information)A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Men is an infection that occurs within the urinary tract system, which consists of the urethra, bladder, ureter, and kidneys, as well as the prostate and testicles The infection is named after the location in the urinary tract, where it occurs: Infection of the ureter is urethritis Infection of the bladder is cystitis Infection of the prostate is prostatitis Infection of the testicles is orchitis Infection of the epididymis is epididymitis Infection of the kidneys is pyelonephritis Urinary Tract Infection is generally caused by a microbe, such as bacteria. Men are at a decreased risk of developing a UTI than women, because of the anatomical structure of the male urinary system The infection can occur more frequently with increasing age, due to a blockage in the urinary tract, having a bladder catheter, or with a decreased immune system The signs and symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections in Men include fever, frequent urination, and a burning sensation while urinating. A diagnosis for the condition can include a complete physical exam with urine and blood tests Urinary Tract Infections in Men are commonly treated with antibiotics (when the infection is caused by bacteria), which can bring about positive outcomes within 48 hours However, severe complications can occur if the condition is left untreated such as the spread of the infection to the kidneys or to the bloodstream Who gets Urinary Tract Infection in Men? ( Age and Sex Distribution)Urinary Tract Infections in Men generally affect adult men over the age of 50 years The infection also occurs in men below the age of 50 years; however, the prevalence is low (at 5 per 10,000)Men of all races and ethnicities are equally susceptible to UTIs What are the Risk Factors for Urinary Tract Infection in Men? ( Predisposing Factors)The risk factors for developing Urinary Tract Infections in Men include: Age: Men over the age of 50 years are at an increased risk of developing UTI, generally due to enlargement of the prostate gland Blockages in the urinary tract, such as caused by kidney stones, which impair the flow of urine Uncircumcised males have a higher risk for UTI than circumcised males Sexual intercourse with infected individuals can result in the spread of pathogen from one individual to another; anal sex Urinary bladder catheter placement (or use) can disrupt the normal flow of urine, which help wash away the microbes."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication References Medication Summary No medications are indicated for the treatment of viral orchitis. Bacterial orchitis or epididymo-orchitis requires appropriate antibiotic coverage for suspected infectious agents. In patients with a bacterial etiology who are younger than 35 years and sexually active, antibiotic coverage for sexually transmitted pathogens (particularly gonorrhea and chlamydia) with ceftriaxone [ 3] and either doxycycline [ 3] or azithromycin is appropriate. Fluoroquinolones are no longer recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for treatment of gonorrhea because of resistance. For more information see, CDC updated gonococcal treatment recommendations (April 2007). Patients older than 35 years with bacterial etiology require additional coverage for other gram-negative bacteria with a fluoroquinolone or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

"text": "What is epididymo-orchitis? Epididymitis means inflammation of the epididymis (the structure next to the testicle (testis) that is involved in making sperm). Orchitis means inflammation of a testicle. As the epididymis and testis lie next to each other, it is often difficult to tell if the epididymis, the testis, or both are inflamed. Therefore, the term epididymo-orchitis is often used. What causes epididymo-orchitis? Most cases are due to an infection. Causes of infection include the following: A complication from a urine infection Germs (bacteria) such as E. coli that cause urine infections can sometimes track down the vas deferens to cause an epididymo-orchitis. This can happen at any age and is the most common cause of epididymo-orchitis in men aged over 35 years. This is because partial blockage of urine flow becomes more common with increasing age, due an enlarged prostate or narrowing of the urethra (urethral stricture)."

"text": "Rhetorical criticism is the analysis of a broad range of items related to using language to have an impact on an audience. This is often but not always applied to writing, where the author intends to have a certain effect on readers. Rhetoric in general is very broadly defined as any aspect of speech or writing that reaches out to an audience. Criticism, as it is defined for rhetorical criticism, literary criticism, and other types of similar analysis, is the process of examining something for its fundamentals or underlying nature. The criticism observes units of language and other auxiliary products of speakers or writers to examine the intent as well as the context of a piece of an individual communication to an audience. The popularity of rhetorical criticism has grown and diminished over time throughout its history in human civilization. In some ways, the rise of this type of criticism is as old as the common usage of written language. Some date this discipline back to Plato and the societies of ancient Greece. Academics use this type of criticism to understand how communicators use symbols to affect their audiences. These researchers can study text, film, or audio recordings to find rhetorical symbols for analysis."

Please help by introducing more general information to this article. Feel free to discuss the issue on the talk page. ( March 2011)A discourse community is a group of people who share a set of discourses, understood as basic values and assumptions, and ways of communicating about those goals. Linguist John Swales defined discourse communities as \"\"groups that have goals or purposes, and use communication to achieve these goals\"\". [ 1]Some examples of a discourse community might be those who read and/or contribute to a particular academic journal, or members of an email list for Madonna fans. Each discourse community has its own unwritten rules about what can be said and how it can be said: for instance, the journal will not accept an article with the claim that \"\"Discourse is the coolest concept\"\"; on the other hand, members of the email list may or may not appreciate a Freudian analysis of Madonna's latest single. Most people move within and between different discourse communities every day. Since the discourse community itself is intangible, it is easier to imagine discourse communities in terms of the fora in which they operate. The hypothetical journal and email list can each be seen as an example of a forum, or a \"\"concrete, local manifestation of the operation of the discourse community\"\". ["

"text": "\"Rhetoric is the study of effective speaking and writing. And the art of persuasion. And many other things. In its long and vigorous history rhetoric has enjoyed many definitions, accommodated differing purposes, and varied widely in what it included. And yet, for most of its history it has maintained its fundamental character as a discipline for training students 1) to perceive how language is at work orally and in writing, and 2) to become proficient in applying the resources of language in their own speaking and writing. ( See rhetorical pedagogy)Discerning how language is working in others' or one's own writing and speaking, one must (artificially) divide form and content, what is being said and how this is said (see Content/Form ). Because rhetoric examines so attentively the how of language, the methods and means of communication, it has sometimes been discounted as something only concerned with style or appearances, and not with the quality or content of communication. For many (such as Plato) rhetoric deals with the superficial at best, the deceptive at worst (\"\"mere rhetoric\"\"), when one might better attend to matters of substance, truth, or reason as attempted in dialectic or philosophy or religion. Rhetoric has sometimes lived down to its critics, but as set forth from antiquity, rhetoric was a comprehensive art just as much concerned with what one could say as how one might say it. Indeed, a basic premise for rhetoric is the indivisibility of means from meaning; how one says something conveys meaning as much as what one says."

The objects of discourse analysis ( discourse, writing, conversation, communicative event) are variously defined in terms of coherent sequences of sentences, propositions, speech, or turns-at-talk. Contrary to much of traditional linguistics, discourse analysts not only study language use 'beyond the sentence boundary' but also prefer to analyze 'naturally occurring' language use, not invented examples. [ 1]Text linguistics is a closely related field. The essential difference between discourse analysis and text linguistics is that discourse analysis aims at revealing socio-psychological characteristics of a person/persons rather than text structure. [ 2]Discourse analysis has been taken up in a variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including linguistics, education, sociology, anthropology, social work, cognitive psychology, social psychology, area studies, cultural studies, international relations, human geography, communication studies, biblical studies, and translation studies, each of which is subject to its own assumptions, dimensions of analysis, and methodologies.

Policy analysis requires discourse analysis to be effective from the post-positivist perspective. ["

Aporia ( Ancient Greek: ᾰ̓πορῐ́ᾱ, translit. aporíā, lit. ' impasse, difficulty in passage, lack of resources, puzzlement') denotes in philosophy a philosophical puzzle or state of puzzlement and in rhetoric a rhetorically useful expression of doubt. Contents [ hide ]1 Definitions2 Etymology3 Philosophy4 Rhetoric5 See also6 References Definitions [ edit]Definitions of the term aporia have varied throughout history. The Oxford English Dictionary includes two forms of the word: the adjective \"\"aporetic\"\", which it defines as \"\"to be at a loss\"\", \"\"impassable\"\", and \"\"inclined to doubt, or to raise objections\"\"; and the noun form \"\"aporia\"\", which it defines as the \"\"state of the aporetic\"\" and \"\"a perplexity or difficulty\"\". The dictionary entry also includes two early textual uses, which both refer to the term's rhetorical (rather than philosophical) usage. In George Puttenham 's The Arte of English Poesie (1589), aporia is \"\"the Doubtful, [so] called...because often we will seem to caste perils, and make doubts of things when by a plaine manner of speech we might affirm or deny [them]\"\". In a reference from 1657, J. Smith's Mystical Rhetoric, the term becomes \"\"a figure whereby the speaker sheweth that he doubteth, either where to begin for the multitude of matters, or what to do or say in some strange or ambiguous thing\"\" (OED)."

"text": "\"ECOFEMINISM, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTSPaper presented at the National Communication Association 1998 Convention, New York, NY. Leila R. Brammer Gustavus Adolphus College In 1974, the term \"\"ecofeminism\"\" was conceived by d'Eaubonne as a connection of the ecology and women (Morgan, 1992, p. 4). In 1978, Susan Griffin's Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her poetically acquainted others with the idea, but the diffusion of the idea did not become apparent until after the meltdown at Three Mile Island when six hundred women attended a conference called \"\"Women and Life on Earth: A Conference on Eco-Feminism in the Eighties\"\" (Caldecott and Leland, 1983, p. 6). Ecofeminism is a joining of environmental, feminist, and women's spirituality concerns (Spretnak, 1990, pp. 5-6). As the environmental movement along with environmental crises raised the consciousness of women to the decay of the earth, they began to see a parallel between the devaluation earth and the devaluation of women. Women began to see the link as not a false construction of weakness, but as a strong unifying force that clarified the violation of women and the earth as part of the same drama of male control (King, 1990). Ecofeminists claim to be part of a distinct social movement. In a book on ecofeminism, Reweaving the World: The Emergence of Ecofeminism (1990), Diamond and Orenstein claim ecofeminism is a social movement and offer the book as a statement of its ideology (p. xiii ). Many other contributors directly state that ecofeminism is a social movement (e.g. Eisler, 1990, p. 23; Quinby, 1990, p. 127; Plant, 1990, p. 155), and implicit in all the writings is the conception of ecofeminism as a social movement."

"text": "Rhetorical function is most often used as a set of rules that guide a writer in creating an effective composition, particularly academic compositions or compositions for public speaking. The rhetorical function of an action or object refers to the point that it makes in the context of an argument or public discourse exchange. This term can also be used in reference to rhetorical strategy, or the method used to persuade a reader or audience member to agree with the writer's or speaker's point of view. Rhetorical function can be a few often things, but it is most often used to refer to a set of rules that guide a writer in creating an effective composition. Methods used in academic rhetorical function center around informing the listener or reader. A writer creating an informative piece that describes a subject uses different functions than a writer who is attempting to critique a subject or introduce the reader to a possibly opposing point of view. It can also describe the effect an action or object has on discourse. When describing a subject, a writer might use describe what an object looks like, feels like or does, or he might use examples or narration to give the reader a better idea of the subject. He might use definitions and classifications or visual aids like tables and charts to teach the reader. A writer might sometimes use rhetorical devices to make a description more interesting, but he generally does not include language meant to convince the reader of any contested point."

It usually circulates within the academic world ('the academy'), but the academic writer may also find an audience outside via journalism, speeches, pamphlets, etc. Typically, scholarly writing has an objective stance, clearly states the significance of the topic, and is organized with adequate detail so that other scholars may try to replicate the results.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Dramatism, an interpretive communication studies theory, was developed by Kenneth Burke as a tool for analyzing human relationships. In this theory, our lives are as if on a stage, setting us individuals as actors on that stage as a way to understand human motives and relations. [ 1] Burke discusses two important ideas – that life is drama, and the ultimate motive of rhetoric is the purging of guilt. [ 2] Burke recognized guilt as the base of human emotions and motivations for action. To understand people's movement and intentions, the theorist sets up the Five Dramatistic Pentad strategy for viewing life, not as life itself, [3] by comparing each social unit involved in human activities as five elements of drama – act, scene, agent, agency, and purpose, [4] to answer the empirical question of how persons explain their actions, [2] and to find the ultimate motivations of human activities. It is possible because Burke believes that Drama has recognizable genres. Humans use language in patterned discourses, and texts move us with recurring patterns underlying those texts. [ 5] And drama has certain audiences, which means rhetoric plays a crucial role when humans deal with experiences. Language strategies are central to Burke's dramatistic approach.

"text": "Rhetorical Methods in Pericles’ Funeral Oration: A Generative, Critical Analysis Bryan Lindenberger Introduction to Pericles' in Modern Context Executive, political leaders face many challenges when attempting to garner support for their initiatives. Times of crisis can further complicate garnering popular support in a democracy, particularly if this leader appears weak. United States President James Earl Carter, for instance, faced growing concern over his capability as President during the Iranian Hostage Crisis that began on November 4, 1979, and was handily defeated by the “tough talking” former governor, Ronald Reagan. On the other hand, some leaders have actually benefitted from crisis, using difficult times to not only pull their people together, but to actually increase their popularity and thus, support for their initiatives. There can be little doubt that measures such as the Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind, and nation-building in Iraq would have met great resistance from multiple fronts if it were not for George W. Bush’s ability to unite people following the attacks of September 11, 2001 during his famous “Bullhorn Speech.” Contrast this with his inability to successfully take control of a moment of crisis during the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, where many described him as seeming “almost entirely disconnected from what really happened” (Brown). Somewhere in between, Barack H. Obama had difficulty with using rhetoric to effectively show his personal interest and involvement in the matter until some asked “Is oil spill becoming Obama’s Katrina?” ( Hall, Jervis, Levin). Though too late to avoid a drop in public support, Obama eventually communicated his outrage and managed to use the oil spill crisis to draw a distinction between himself and “Big Oil” and in fact “Big Oil Energy Policy,” announcing drilling bans in May of 2010 (CBS/AP). Some may say that Bush or Obama wisely used crisis to their favor."

Generally, modern medical professionals have abandoned using the term \"\"hysteria\"\" to denote a diagnostic category, replacing it with more precisely defined categories, such as somatization disorder. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association officially changed the diagnosis of \"\"hysterical neurosis, conversion type\"\" (the most extreme and effective type) to \"\" conversion disorder \"\". While the word \"\"hysteria\"\" originates from the Greek word for uterus, hystera, the word itself is not an ancient one, and the term \"\"hysterical suffocation\"\" — meaning a feeling of heat and inability to breathe — was instead used in ancient Greek medicine. This suggests an entirely physical cause for the symptoms but, by linking them to the uterus, suggests that the disorder can only be found in women. ["

"text": "8 Totally Innocuous German Words That Make Me Giggle. Posted on Apr 23, 2012Posted in: Lost in Translation, Top Ten When I was ten or eleven, my mother took my brother and me to see Universal Soldier in the movie theater, at my brother’s request. For those of you unfamiliar with this specimen of early-90s cinematic glory, here are some fun facts: It is rated R. It involves a terrorist plot … at the Hoover Dam. It stars not only Jean-Claude Van Damme, but also Dolph Lundgren (psst- you should totally check out that link to Mr. Lundgren’s personal site, because it is DELIGHTFUL). If you are playing along at home, I’ve just given you at least four reasons why you should not let a child see this movie. But let’s not judge my mother, because she really did her best, and (despite being totally desensitized to violence and suffering a crippling fear of most national parks) I turned out okay. Please consider this the next time you can’t find a babysitter and really want to see a low-budget action flick. Your kid will probably be fine! He or she may even grow up to be an unemployed travel blogger!There was only one part of the movie that I had trouble with: it’s when Mr. Van Damme has just woken up from some sort of cryogenic sleep or something (I apologize for my vagueness, but I refuse to look up the plot), and he’s wandering around outside, completely naked. While I later handled Dolph Lungren getting ripped apart by a thresher at the end of the movie (Technically, this is a spoiler, but I would argue that I did you a favor), 11-year-old me apparently could not deal with the sight of J. C. V. D.’s firm, glistening posterior, and I starting cackling like a madwoman for the entire time it was on screen."

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome\nSyndrome",
"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Syndrome (disambiguation). A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms that are correlated with each other and, often, with a particular disease or disorder. [ 1] The word derives from the Greek σύνδρομον, meaning \"\"concurrence\"\". [ 2] In some instances, a syndrome is so closely linked with a pathogenesis or cause that the words syndrome, disease, and disorder end up being used interchangeably for them. This is especially true of inherited syndromes. For example, Down syndrome, Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome, and Andersen syndrome are disorders with known pathogeneses, so each is more than just a set of signs and symptoms, despite the syndrome nomenclature. In other instances, a syndrome is not specific to only one disease. For example, toxic shock syndrome can be caused by various toxins; premotor syndrome can be caused by various brain lesions; and premenstrual syndrome is not a disease but simply a set of symptoms. If an underlying genetic cause is not suspected but known, a condition may be referred to as a genetic association (often just \"\"association\"\" in context). By definition, an association indicates that the collection of signs and symptoms occurs in combination more frequently than would be likely by chance alone. ["

Noun. Wikipedia defines it as “a character archetype considered cold hearted and indifferent, but not showing their true colors.” Well that’s super clear… what does it mean? A kuudere character is someone who generally has a very cool, in the sense that they aren’t very friendly and loud, and non-communicative exterior, but once one gets to know them, they have a very warm and loving interior. There is a catch though; THEY have to be the ones to show you their interior. You won’t just earn access to them as person unless they want you to. The \"\"kuu\"\" in kudere comes from the Japanese loanword from English word “kuuru” which means cool. Like with tsundere, the dere part comes from “deredere” in Japanese which means to become lovey-dovey."

"text": "\"hysteria Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Hysteria Definition The term \"\"hysteria\"\" has been in use for over 2,000 years and its definition has become broaderand more diffuse over time. In modern psychology and psychiatry, hysteria is a feature of hysterical disorders in which a patient experiences physical symptoms that have a psychological, rather than an organic, cause; and histrionic personality disorder characterized by excessive emotions, dramatics, and attention-seeking behavior. Description Hysterical disorders Patients with hysterical disorders, such as conversion and somatization disorder experiencephysical symptoms that have no organic cause. Conversion disorder affects motor and sensoryfunctions, while somatization affects the gastrointestinal, nervous, cardiopulmonary, or reproductive systems. These patients are not \"\"faking\"\" their ailments, as the symptoms are veryreal to them. Disorders with hysteric features typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood. Histrionic personality disorder Histrionic personality disorder has a prevalence of approximately 2-3% of the general population. It begins in early adulthood and has been diagnosed more frequently in women than in men. Histrionic personalities are typically self-centered and attention seeking."

"text": "\"Feisty, frigid and frumpy: 25 words we only use to describe women How we feel when we hear these words Radhika Sanghani17 March 2017 • 9:43am T his week, Sir Roger Gale, the MP, has come under fire for referring to his female employees as 'girls'. One of his employees, Debi Hill, has defended him - \"\"he's not sexist and we feel valued by him\"\" - but there has been a furore about his decision to refer to the grown women he works with as 'girls'. It brings to mind the other words that tend to follow women around workplaces - from 'ambitious' to 'bossy' and the dreaded 'feisty' - a word defined in the C ollins English Dictionary as:1) Lively, resilient and self-reliant2) (US and Canadian) frisky3) (US and Canadian) irritable. None of these definitions mentions gender. Indeed, the adjective would appear to be gender neutral – until you look at the example sentences given by the dictionary:\"\"He realised she was not a feisty woman after all,\"\" \"\"Our beauty is now male, and is awoken by a feisty young girl \"\", to \"\"Why were even the most intelligent and feisty women so foolish when it came to being hopelessly in love?\"\" ( from the book Tickled Pink ). Not one refers to a ‘feisty male’, suggesting the adjective is one of those words that shows a vocabularly gender divide - and a wider level of everyday sexism. A label thrown at women, usually with negative connotations, that would never be used for a man. Over the past couple of years, there has been a concerted effort to ditch these words. Sheryl Sandberg and Beyoncé spearheaded a campaign to ‘Ban Bossy’ ."

Depending on the environment that your computer is in, you will be running in one of these two modes.

There are different features and capabilities depending on each, and each serve a purpose Workgroups can be best understood as a loosely connected group of computers. They rely on each other for nothing, but they are there to share resources should the need arise. There is no centralized management and so there is a low barrier to use. By default, Windows XP is in this mode. Domains, on the other hand, provide centralized management and security. User access is controlled from a separate server called a domain controller and there is a “trust” built between systems in a domain."

"text": "PSQL Server Engine Versus Workgroup Engine There are two different levels of the Pervasive PSQL / Actian PSQL database engine. What are the real differences between the PSQL Workgroup Engine (WGE) and the PSQL Server Engine?. The Short Answer If you just need a quick comparison, then you are in the right section. Succinctly, the core code within the engines is the same, but the PSQL Workgroup Engine is licensed for small workgroups (up to 5 concurrent users at most) and is priced considerably lower as a result. The Server Engine is for systems with 6 or more users, or those that need additional security or features of the Server Engine. The Long Answer Additional security? Features? I thought the engines were the same? Indeed -- the two engines share the same CORE code, but they do have some minor differences that are highlighted here: Feature Workgroup Server Maximum Simultaneous User (User Count) Supported 1 to 5 ONLY 6 to 500+User Count Increases Available 1U, 2U (to 5U Max) 6, 10, 20, and up Backup Agent Additional Cost Included FREEVSS Writer Not Available Included FREEAvailable 32-Bit Engine YES YESAvailable 64-Bit Engine NO YESAvailable Linux Engine (32-bit and 64-bit) NO YESSupports 64-bit Applications YES (With 64-bit Client) YESAvailable PSQL Vx Server (Licensing for Virtual Machines, Thin Client, Saa S) NO YESOS Security Enabled (Validates that all users have access to files) NO YESCan Access Data on Remote Server or NAS (Though not recommended) YES NODefault Memory Allocated for L1 Database Cache (Can be changed) 10% of RAM or 64MB 20% of Memory Space Maximum Memory Space Supported on 32-bit OS 2 GB 2 GBMaximum Memory Space Supported on 64-bit OS 4 GB 4 GB (32-bit Engine) 8 TB (64-bit Engine)If you are trying to decide between the Workgroup and Server Engine for your primary server, then security may be an important attribute to consider, as well as the performance gains available on the 64-bit Server Engine.

This means that a singular administration has control over the domain and allows which users have access to which files. Domains and workgroups are two different methods for organizing computers in a network. The main difference between the two is in the manner they operate, chiefly how the computers and other resources on the networks are managed. A workgroup is a type of peer-to-peer network. It is essentially the name for a Windows based peer-to-peer computer network. Computers in this kind of network can allow each other access to their files, printers, or Internet connection."

Abstract Microsoft® Windows Vista™ has made some important changes to the way that file and printer sharing works. This article describes the changes and provides step-by-step instructions for sharing files and printers and connecting to shared files and printers from a computer running Windows Vista for a small-office or home office network that does not use the Active Directory® domain service. This article is designed for IT professionals and experienced users that are familiar with file and printer sharing in Windows. If you are new to file and printer sharing, see the following Windows Vista help topics: File sharing essentials Share files with someone Sharing files with the Public folder Share a printer Differences in File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista The differences in file and printer sharing in Windows Vista are the following: The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In Windows® XP Home Edition, the default workgroup name is MSHOME. If you upgrade a computer running Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, it will keep its existing workgroup name. However, new computers with Windows Vista can have a different workgroup name than the other computers on your network. With different workgroups, it takes more time and effort to view all of the computers on the network. Windows Vista uses the Public folder, rather than the Shared Documents folder in Windows XP, to simplify file sharing."

These tasks can deploy an operating system image to a destination computer, build and capture an operating system image from a set of operating system installation files, and capture and restore user state information. Use the following sections to manage task sequences: Where Task Sequences are Located in the Configuration Manager Console How to Create Task Sequences How to Edit a Task Sequence How to Distribute the Content that is Referenced by a Task Sequence How to Deploy a Task Sequence How to Export and Import Task Sequences How to Create Task Sequence Variables for Computers and Collections Additional Actions to Manage Task Sequences For information about how to plan your task sequence strategy, see Planning a Task Sequences Strategy in Configuration Manager. Important When you create or edit a deployment task sequence that ends in Win PE, make sure that the last step in the task sequence restarts the destination computer to the full operating system of the destination computer so that the task sequence exits correctly. If the destination computer is not restarted in this scenario, the client cannot be managed by Configuration Manager. Where Task Sequences are Located in the Configuration Manager Console Task sequences are located in the Software Library workspace, from the Operating Systems node. Under the Operating Systems node are several nodes that contain the objects that you use to deploy operating systems. One of these is the Task Sequence node that contains all the task sequences that you can use to deploy operating systems. You can create a flat list of task sequence or you can create subfolders to manage or group task sequences. The Task Sequence node, including any subfolders that you create, is replicated throughout the Configuration Manager hierarchy."

"text": "How to Connect Two Computers or Laptops Wirelessly Need to quickly connect up to another laptop wirelessly so you can transfer some data without a router or Internet connection? Without an Internet connection, you can’t use syncing services like Dropbox to share data between devices easily. If you have a networking device like a router, hub or switch, you can get the computers to talk to each other, but it requires quite a bit of additional work (file sharing, permissions, firewall configurations, etc). However, if you have a laptop or computer that has a wireless card and so does your buddy, you can use the cards to make a wireless connection between the two computers. Once they are connected wirelessly (also called a peer-to-peer ad-hoc wireless network ), you can easily share data between the computers. You can create an ad-hoc network in Windows or in OS X and in this article I’ll explain the steps for creating the network for each OS. It’s important to note that ad-hoc networks in general have certain limitations that make them only useful for certain situations. Firstly, the speed of an ad-hoc network is normally less than that of a normal infrastructure network. Ad-hoc network specs only require a max speed of 11Mbps, which is way slower than b/g/n/ac max speeds. Secondly, you can’t monitor signal strength of ad-hoc networks, so you have to make sure the computers are fairly close to each other and don’t move around a lot."

Windows Server 2012 Essentials and Windows Server 2012 Foundation Edition are both intended for small business customers, but there are some important differences between the two. This article provides information on those differences, which can be split into several categories: Intended Environment: While both are intended for relatively small environments, the expected level of IT expertise differs significantly. Essentials assumes that no dedicated IT staff will be available and thus includes tools to simplify administration. Foundation requires a bit more IT expertise, as it relies on the standard set of Windows Server 2012 tools for administration. Hardware: While both OSes support multicore processors, Foundation supports a single physical CPU socket, and Essentials supports one or two sockets. Licensing: Neither Essentials nor Foundation requires the purchase of client access licenses (CALs), but the built-in user limits are not the same for the two operating systems. Essentials allows for up to 25 users, while Foundation allows for up to 15. Active Directory: Essentials must be a domain controller (DC) at the root of an AD forest. There cannot be any trusts between the domain and other domains, including parent-child trusts, and the Essentials server must hold all of the FSMO roles."

"text": "What is a Windows Domain and How Does It Affect My PC?by Chris Hoffman on August 4th, 2014Windows domains are typically used on large networks — corporate networks, school networks, and government networks. They aren’t something you’ll encounter at home unless you have a laptop provided by your employer or school. A typical home computer is an isolated entity. You control the settings and user accounts on the computer. A computer joined to a domain is different — these settings are controlled on a domain controller. What is a Domain? Windows domains provide network administrators with a way to manage a large number of PCs and control them from one place. One or more servers — known as domain controllers — have control over the domain and the computers on it. Domains are generally made up of computers on the same local network. However, computers joined to a domain can continue communicating with their domain controller over VPN or Internet connection."

Psychiatrists and neurologists are both doctors (physicians) who went to medical school and then spent at least 4 years in residencies learning their specialties. Both do physical exams, order lab and radiographic tests, make diagnoses and treat patients with medication and procedures.

( Platelet count approximately 420?)Dr. Stöppler's Response: Platelets are the smallest cell-like structures in the bloodand are important for blood clotting and plugging damaged blood vessels. Platelet countsare usually done by laboratory machines that also count other blood elements such as the white and red cells. Normal platelet counts are in the range of 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter (or 150 - 400 x 109 per liter), but the normal rangefor the platelet count varies slightly among different laboratories.

Both these substances, allergen and antigen, are directly associated with the immune system and its functions. Through this article let us explore the differences that prevail between allergen and antigen, while understanding the nature of these two substances. What is an Allergen? An allergen is a nonparasitic foreign substance that can cause certain immune reactions in the body when it enters the body. The condition caused by allergens are called allergy. Allergy can cause some disorders in the mucosa, skin, gastrointestinal tract, airways, and vessels resulting in symptoms like urticaria, dermatitis, edema, asthma, etc. The most common allergens are the dust, pollen, pet dander, or certain chemical substances in food or water. Most of the food allergens contain glycoproteins, which dissolve in water and are resistant to digestion. Because of this reason, these glycoproteins are recognized as specific antigens in the body by the immune system, resulting in Type I and Type IV allergies."

( 3) + thing from Dr. Wagers in reveiw (panic) COGNITIVE COMPONENTS: -misinterpretation of body signs (and get into habit of misinterpreting whatever those symptoms are) -high comorbidity with Panic Disorder ---this is from the tendency towards cognitive misinterpretation of physiological feelings (dizziness/headache/...) -hypochondriacs have a focus on anxiety about the presumed disease -both anxiety disorders and hypochondriasis view negative events as unpredictable/uncontrollable BEHAVIORAL COMPONENTS: -classical conditioning: you have anxiety paired with physical symptoms (e.g. you notice you have headache, you get anxiety, you pair headache and anxiety and they become indistinguishable from one another) MOOD: -the mood of hypochondriacs is anxious and depressed TREATMENT: -CBT -hyp. treatment looks similar to panic control treatment (expose to dizziness if dizziness triggers panic attack->give people a sense of control over their symptoms and make symptoms less dangerous) -meds can be helpful in both cases, but run in to same kind of problems in anx. and hyp.

Print Diagnostic Considerations Physical disease must be excluded, which involves evaluation for an extensive number of neurological (eg, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis), endocrinological, and other systemic diseases. Illness anxiety disorder may be diagnosed in someone with a medical illness if the anxiety is out of proportion to the gravity of the illness. The psychiatric differential diagnosis for illness anxiety disorder includes the following disorders: somatic symptom, adjustment, conversion, body dysmorphic, mood, anxiety, and psychotic, and personality. Some of these are discussed in more detail below. Somatic symptom disorder This disorder is less restricted than the DSM IV somatization disorder, and as such, the prevalence is expected to be higher than somatization disorder. The diagnostic criteria are as follows: A. Patients present with one or more somatic symptoms that are distressing or result in significant disruption of daily life. B. Excessive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to the somatic symptoms or associated health concerns as manifested by at least one of the following: Disproportionate and persistent thoughts about the seriousness of one's symptoms Persistently high levels of anxiety about health or symptoms Excessive time and energy devoted to these symptoms or health concerns C. Although any one of somatic symptoms may not be continuously present, the state of being symptomatic is persistent (typically more than 6 months). What differentiates somatic symptom disorder from illness anxiety disorder is the patient's focus on symptoms rather than a preoccupation with illness and the accompanying worry. Somatic symptom disorder may be comorbid with medical illness. Conversion disorder (functional neurolgoical symptom disorder)Diagnostic Criteria: A. One or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function."

INTRODUCTIONOne of the defining characteristics of advanced organisms is the ability to make flexible, yet adaptive responses to environmental stimuli. These stimuli may arise from within the organism or impinge upon it from the outside. The resulting myriad of stimuli ranges in salience from the barely noticeable to the intense. The stimuli in the intense range are usually considered to be biologically significant, whether they originate within the organism or are encountered in the outside environment. At any given moment, the organism is likely to be faced with many stimuli that could be acted upon, but in reality only a few become the targets of behavior. Psychologists have conceptualized this process as a system of drives and rewards. The particular combination of stimuli that arises from the outside world and from the physiology of the organism triggers brain activity that has two major effects: It energizes behavior and directs behavior. For example, if an individual has gone for several hours without food, the stimuli arising from inside the body produce an effect which can be labeled hunger. These stimuli may be intensified by external cues such as the position of the hands on a clock, a television advertisement for junk food, or other food related items."

The same is true with bronchitis as opposed to asthma, bronchiolitis, COPD, and for that matter the common cold. While the focus here is on the inflammation of the bronchi vs. the inflammation of the lungs, these other diseases will be touched upon as well, as not only are there similarities and differences but also one can sometimes lead to another. If you have a contracted a disease that affects your throat, your bronchial passages, or your lungs, it can be helpful to be able to understand the symptoms, so you’ll have some indication as to when it might be time to seek medical attention or advice. Acute Bronchitis and Chronic Bronchitis To understand the difference between bronchitis and another disease that may have similar symptoms, it will be helpful to have some knowledge as to what bronchial inflammation is, what causes it, what the symptoms are, and how it can be treated. There are two types of this inflammatory condition: acute and chronic. The acute type is very common, whereas the chronic one is less common but can be much more serious. There is no fine dividing line between the chronic and acute forms of the disease. You may have several bouts of acute bronchitis during the course of a year, but that does not always mean the condition has become chronic. The chronic type is something your doctor often needs to define, as the condition can vary from person to person."

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that can cause tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, trouble balancing, problems walking and difficulty coordinating movement. Less obvious symptoms include depression, insomnia, anxiety, fatigue and constipation. Neurological disorders that mimic the symptoms of Parkinson's disease are called atypical parkinsonism disorders. What is Parkinson's disease? Many doctors cannot tell whether a patient has Parkinson's disease or atypical parkinsonism. \"\" This can be very challenging, especially during the early stages of the diseases and if the responsible doctor is not a neurologist specialized in movement disorders,\"\" said Dr. Oskar Hansson, lead author of the new study, a neurologist and an associate professor at Lund University in Sweden. Non-specialists \"\"do not really know exactly what questions to ask the patient and the special signs to look for,\"\" Hansson wrote in an email. Yet patients with atypical disorders \"\"usually have a much worse prognosis, with faster disease progression, (with) more disabling symptoms\"\" than Parkinson's patients, so early identification is crucial. The correct diagnosis is also key to treatment since \"\"most patients with atypical parkinsonism disorders do not respond well to dopamine-targeting medications\"\" that are usually prescribed for Parkinson's patients, Hansson said."

You will find below a write up by Mayo Clinic that clearly points to a connection in males that were exposed to herbicides, a request for contact data, as well as two Board of Veterans Appeals cases awarding neurological issues associated to Parkinson’s and/or Parkinson like neurological disorders. Now they do not differentiate between the massive amounts of militarized herbicides used with the unprecedented toxic TCDD levels nor the 6 to 25 the normal recommended dose rate that was used in Vietnam from the normal farmer or the rail road worker usage, etc. At this time in our legacy, VA and IOM have both refused to associate military service in the herbicides as a presumptive disorder. Nevertheless, you will also find references of IOM stating the possibility of a connection. In researching for my book, I also found many references to this neurological disorder as associated to these pesticides and/or herbicides. The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was commissioned by congress in 1991 to get a nationwide consensus on toxic chemical damages.

Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) are advanced practice nurses who have earned a baccalaureate degree, practiced more than one year as an acute care nurse, and have successfully completed a graduate-level nurse anesthetist program. These graduate programs have an average duration of 28 months but may be as long as 36 months. Except for the extra training that anesthesiologists receive in medical school and residency other than the direct provision of anesthesia, both CRNAs and anesthesiologists undergo similar classroom and clinical training in anesthesia care. There are approximately 40,000 practicing anesthesiologists in the United States and over 35,000 CRNAs."

"text": "What Does a Certified Wound Care Nurse Do? Certified wound care nurses (CWCNs) work in the unique healthcare niche of wound management. They are the specialists who assess, treat and monitor patients’ wounds and promote health management practices that prevent recurrence. Their work helps to minimize suffering and loss of function as well as serious and even life-threatening complications. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »When a patient presents with a wound, a certified wound care nurse performs a careful assessment and develops a treatment plan to be carried out by the care team. This might include debridement (a wound cleaning process that removes dead tissue and contaminants), cleaning and bandaging. The CWCN also works with the patient’s physician to assess the suitability of antibiotic therapy, surgery or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In addition to providing direct care, certified wound care nurses educate patients, caretakers and other medical professionals on the management and prevention of wounds. They serve as key resource people for physicians, nurses and other members of the care team in hospitals and other inpatient settings. These nurses also provide continuing education for certified nursing assistants and other front-line professionals who care for bedridden patients, as bedridden patients are prone to complex pressure ulcers called bedsores, which can be very resistant to healing."

"text": "What Does a School Nurse Do? A school nurse works closely with school administrators to create a learning environment that meets the physical, mental and emotional needs of students. Nurses have been working in schools since the 1800s, when their main job was to identify and quarantine people with communicable diseases. Today their primary responsibility is to provide care and health counseling to students and staff, a community that includes those with chronic illnesses, disabilities and mental health conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »According to federal law, schools must develop individualized education plans that establish learning goals and guarantee appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. School nurses are the professionals who develop and implement these health plans, dispense medications and show teachers how to administer the necessary care. School nurses also play an important role in curriculum development. They work with educators to set developmentally appropriate learning standards for health and physical education programs and serve as resources for faculty who are teaching health-related content. As valued members of the educational team, they work in close, collegial relationships with teachers, administrators and community stakeholders to improve learning and increase access to counseling and health care services. Because students in emotional distress often present with complaints of illness, nurses are in a unique position to note patterns of conflict and other stressors that impact school life."

A registered nurse is one who has graduated with a 4 year nursing program with a Bachelor of Science degree or a 2-year nursing program with an Associate’s Degree. On the other hand, a Licensed Practical Nurse is a person who has graduated with a one year Practical Nursing program. While a person needs to pass NCLEX-RN to become RN, a person can become an LPN after passing NCLEX-PN. When a person needs just one year to become an LPN, four or two years are needed for becoming a RN. As such a RN has to learn more than an LPN.

Some programs accept registered nurses with associate degrees, however. Prospective nurse midwives should select a program that is accredited by Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education.

The healthcare workplace is comparable to what a person sees when looking through a kaleidoscope: as the moments pass, an endless variety of patterns emerges. Undesirable patterns that have materialized include the widely publicized shortage of nurses in the workforce and the high rates of turnover among nurses. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on recruitment and retention of nurse-managers to reverse these trends. Critical care nurses become leaders through a variety of routes, many of which do not include formal managerial training or education. To produce positive results, critical care leaders need effective strategies to manage departmental operations and inspire staff. One strategy used by chief nursing officers, professional nursing associations, and employers is to design and implement formalized critical care leadership and managerial training programs that are evidence based and results oriented.

Leadership makes a difference; it affects the level of organizational productivity and performance by making positive occurrences in the lives of organizational associates. Leaders create empowering organizational cultures that produce long-term thinking and successful outcomes through many different aspects such as employee turnover, decision making processes and the adaptability for a company to change. Whall (2006) states, “There are key leadership traits that make the difference in companies that can truly change their industries… Changing an industry is different than playing in an industry… All companies play in their industry, but few will literally change the course of their industry. ”The theory of leadership has been an accepted topic for many years by researchers due to the fact that its effectiveness is fundamental to businesses, followers, organizations and professional individuals. The popular press has produced thousands of books on this subject matter from a range of multifaceted definitions, terminology and meanings. These views range from the significance of situations, certain processes that takes place between leaders and followers, conceptual capabilities, foundational styles, personality characteristics/traits and technical humanistic skills. Jeffery Pfeffer is a distinguished advocate, expert and theorist in the area of leadership. He is amongst many researchers that proclaim leadership does not make a significant difference with an organizations final performance."

"text": "Culture Leadership The Difference Between a Leader and a Manager7 months ago by ronalvesteffer 3 min read In the past, on Twitter, I’ve gotten into disagreements with some people on the difference between the role of a manager and the role of a leader. Those who know me, know that I love disagreement. Agreeable disagreement causes us to examine our beliefs and it challenges us to make sure that we’re practicing what we preach. I believe that we manage things (processes, procedures and outcomes) and we lead people (employees, customers and others). I believe that there are very distinct differences between the role of a manager and the role of a leader . But the roles should not be in conflict with each other. Sustainable, high-performance organizations recognize that there is a symbiotic relationship between managers and leaders and they ensure that both are being utilized effectively. Here are examples of differences that I’ve identified ( I’d love to hear yours in the comment section below): A manager focuses on process and procedure, a leader focuses on people. A manager administrates. A leader envisions."

"text": "Back What is the difference between a manager and a leader? Aaron Hutchings 08/08/2013In my experience being a manager and being a leader are roles that can be fundamentally different. A manager is one who has a title that describes their role within an organization, whereas a leader is someone that individuals look up to for guidance and support. Both roles possess the ability to have significant impact on the lives of those whom they hold influence over. “Greatness is not accomplished by avoiding what causes failure, or by doing the opposite of what causes failure, but by following a distinct set of behaviors that specifically define greatness.” – Marcus Buckingham Management and leadership are separate and distinct behaviors required for success. I share this quote because I believe it defines what we all want in life and in our careers. Each of us wants to achieve a level of greatness. So what is it that differentiates a great leader from a great manager? Management and leadership are separate and distinct behaviors required for success."

Behavior is the range of actions and mannerisms made by organisms, systems, or artificial entities in conjunction with their environment, which includes the other systems or organisms around as well as the physical environment. What is Human Behaviors? Human behavior refers to the range of behaviors exhibited by humans and which are influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport, hypnosis, persuasion, coercion and/or genetics. In humans, behavior is believed to be controlled primarily by the endocrine system and the nervous system. Behaviors can be either innate or learned. Human behavior is experienced throughout an individual’s entire lifetime. It includes the way they act based on different factors such as genetics, social norms, core faith, and attitude. Behavior is impacted by certain traits each individual has. The traits vary from person to person and can produce different actions or behavior from each person."

A manager is someone who manages and is responsible for the important aspects of a job, project, or team. A leader is someone who is influential, takes charge, and is an example for others. Managers and leaders usually obtain their title in a work, educational, or team environment through a demonstration of their management and leadership skills. In an ideal situation, a manager should possess leadership qualities, and similarly a leader should possess managerial qualities. Managers have different responsibilities based on what they do and who they are managing. They have the ability to delegate and implement plans for a business or team. Managers are necessary to keep a consistent understanding of who is in charge in a group. A leader is a person who takes the lead in a group and chooses to perform to the best of his ability and helps others do the same. In a team, school, or professional setting, a successful manager should have both managerial and leadership qualities."

Like most sales leaders, I’m sure you are eager to dive once again into managing your B2B sales team. Whether you plan to redesign your sales compensation plan, increase the headcount of your sales team or implement a new sales process, one thing is certain: next year will be an exciting journey. While it is no secret that the journey will have bumps and roadblocks, you can achieve your revenue goals if you focus on leveraging the strengths of your sales force. Most leaders would also agree that to exceed your targets, you need to stay up to date with the latest developments within the B2B sales industry. But what developments should you pay closer attention to? Will new trends impact the B2B sales industry during 2016? In my opinion, the B2B sales industry will witness trends of two very different kinds during 2016. One kind are rising trends that emerged and gained traction during 2015. The second kind of trends are well established or macro trends that have been in our radar through the course of the years."

However, they differ in a number of respects though they are desirable qualities that go hand in hand. Mangers are often mistakenly talked about as leaders whereas in reality there is a great difference between leadership and management which will be discussed in this article. The biggest difference between leadership and management arises from the way they motivate people who work around them as this sets the tone for all other aspects of an organization. By definition, management has an aura or authority vested in it by the company. Subordinates work under it, and largely do as they are told. This is transactional style in that managers tell workers what to do and workers do because they are promised a reward (salary or bonus). Management is normally paid to get things done within the constraints of time and money. Management tends to come from stable backgrounds and lead relatively comfortable lives. This makes them averse to taking risks and they seek to avoid conflict as far as possible."

Actually, it looks like you were taught both the correct and the wrong, so it's no wonder you are confused. Respiration involves a \"\"respiratory chain\"\" - what we usually refer to as an electron transfer chain, electron transport chain, or electron transport system: it uses energy released by the flow of electrons from one carrier to another in a membrane in order to pump protons unidirectionally across the membrane to form an electrochemical gradient. In fact, the protein complexes in the electron transport system are called respiratory complexes. Fermentation does not use a respiratory chain and so is not a form of respiration."

Most ATP, however, is generated during a separate process called oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration begins when electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH 2 —made in glycolysis, the transition reaction, and the Krebs cycle—through a series of chemical reactions to a final inorganic electron acceptor (either oxygen in aerobic respiration or non-oxygen inorganic molecules in anaerobic respiration). These electron transfers take place on the inner part of the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells or in specialized protein complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. The energy of the electrons is harvested to generate an electrochemical gradient across the membrane, which is used to make ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. Electron Transport System The electron transport system (ETS) is the last component involved in the process of cellular respiration; it comprises a series of membrane-associated protein complexes and associated mobile accessory electron carriers. Electron transport is a series of chemical reactions that resembles a bucket brigade in that electrons from NADH and FADH 2 are passed rapidly from one ETS electron carrier to the next. These carriers can pass electrons along in the ETS because of their redox potential. For a protein or chemical to accept electrons, it must have a more positive redox potential than the electron donor. Therefore, electrons move from electron carriers with more negative redox potential to those with more positive redox potential."

They gather at the top of the tube where the oxygen concentration is highest. 2: Obligate anaerobes are poisoned by oxygen, so they gather at the bottom of the tube where the oxygen concentration is lowest. 3: Facultative anaerobes can grow with or without oxygen because they can metabolise energy aerobically or anaerobically. They gather mostly at the top because aerobic respiration generates more ATP than either fermentation or anaerobic respiration. 4: Microaerophiles need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically. However, they are poisoned by high concentrations of oxygen.

To specify: Generally, anaerobic respiration produces very little ATP and does not use oxygen. The only ATP produced were the two from glycolysis. The end products are lactic acid or alcohol. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Aerobic respiration produces 36 ATP molecules, uses oxygen, and the end products ar carbon dioxide and water.

"text": "What Are the Functions of Coenzyme A in Cellular Respiration?by CINDY HILL Oct. 03, 2017Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert food energy like glucose into a form of energy that can be used to build and repair tissue and carry on other cell functions. Coenzyme A, synthesized by the body from pantothenic acid, or vitamin B-5, plays a key role in aerobic cellular respiration. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Glycolysis Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration. It is the process by which cellular metabolism begins converting glucose, the main fuel used by the body obtained from starches and sugars, into usable energy. In glycolysis, glucose is partially oxidized, creating adenosine tri-phosphate, or ATP, the nucleotide that stores energy in the body in a form cells can readily use, according to the Johnson County Community College. Glycolysis also produces some waste in the form of carbon dioxide, which is exhaled, and an acetyl group called pyruvic acid, which then joins with coenzyme A for the next step of cellular respiration. Acetyl Coenzyme A Formation After glycolysis, pyruvic acid enters the cell mitochondrion, where it combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl Co A, according to the Clinton Community College. In the process, each pyruvic acid molecule loses one carbon atom, which combines with available oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which is released through exhaling. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, also carries away hydrogen in the process of oxidation, becoming NADH. The remaining carbon atoms bond with coenzyme A, creating acetyl Co A. Kreb's Cycle When oxygen is present, cellular respiration continues after glycolysis with a process called the Kreb's cycle."

"text": "What Is Anaerobic Respiration in Humans?by LESLEY GRAYBEAL Oct. 14, 2017All cells of the human body employ biochemical reactions known as cellular respiration to produce the energy they need to function and stay alive. The sugar glucose serves as the primary fuel for human cellular respiration. Cells can break down glucose to generate energy using oxygen-dependent aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration, which does not require oxygen. While aerobic respiration generates energy more efficiently, human muscle cells can utilize anaerobic respiration when they lack sufficient oxygen or require a quick burst of energy. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Role in Exercise Anaerobic respiration in humans occurs primarily in muscle cells during high-intensity exercise. This might occur if you're pushing your limits during an aerobic activity, like spinning or a cardio workout, and the oxygen supply to your muscles is insufficient to maintain aerobic-only respiration. Anaerobic respiration also occurs with activities that require short, intense bursts of muscle power, such as sprinting or power lifting. All muscles contain two types of muscle fibers called fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers. The proportions vary in different muscles. Slow-twitch fibers are geared toward sustained activity and normally rely primarily on aerobic respiration, although they can employ anaerobic respiration if necessary."

"text": "Difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration Tweet Key Difference: Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose using oxygen. The cells use glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy. Anaerobic Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose without using oxygen, but rather catalysts. It produces a by product of energy, carbon dioxide and lactic acid. The term aerobic is most commonly heard when referring to exercises but not many people know that the exercise is named ‘aerobic exercises’ because of the type of respiration process used when the exercise is performed. The term goes deeper and refers to aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Respiration is the process through which energy is released by breaking down glucose in the body. The energy produced is used by the body for various purposes including working the muscles, keeping body temperature constant, allowing chemical reactions to take place, sending messages throughout the body, etc. There are two types of respiration that happen within all living things: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose using oxygen."

"text": "\"Difference Between Cellular Respiration and Fermentation• Categorized under Nature | Difference Between Cellular Respiration and Fermentation Cellular Respiration vs Fermentation Respiration is a vital way for the cells of plants and animals to obtain and utilize energy. Without this energy, cells in the bodies of plants and animals would fail to function and will eventually break down and die. The breaking down of sugar into energy and storing it in ATP is the key to the survival of living organisms. The formation of ATP involves two different processes, cellular respiration and fermentation. The reactions to these processes are controlled by enzymes and involve the loss and gain of electrons. Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of organisms using metabolic reactions and processes to convert biochemical energy from the nutrients they absorbed into ATP or adenosine triphosphate and to release waste products. The energy derived from nutrients like sugar, amino and fatty acids, an electron acceptor which can be oxygen (used by aerobic organisms) or other inorganic donors like sulfur, metal ions, methane, or hydrogen (used by anaerobic organisms) are stored in ATP and used for biosynthesis, locomotion and to transport molecules in cell membranes. Cellular respiration can be aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to generate ATP and plants and animals use this in utilizing the energy they received. Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and uses glycolysis to convert a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate."

"text": "\"What is Aerobic Training? Simply put, the word aerobics means \"\"with oxygen\"\". While this definition may sound quite vague, once you have a better understanding of what aerobics actually is, it will make more sense. Aerobic training can be considered any physical activity that has the ability to elevate your heart rate to it's target heart rate and maintain that level for a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes. Achieving an \"\"aerobic effect\"\" can be defined as participating in a physical activity that elevates your heart rate to your target heart rate and maintains that level for a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes. For example, an individual that performs a running routine that elevates their heart rate to their target heart rate for 20, or more, consecutive minutes will achieve an aerobic effect. Aerobic Activities With this basic understanding of aerobic training and achieving an aerobic effect it is easy to define the types of physical activities that are aerobic in nature. Below is a list of several physical activities that fall under the category of aerobic training and are designed to promote achieving an aerobic effect: Briskly walking Jogging Running Cycling or mountain biking Swimming Exercising on a treadmill Exercising on an elliptical machine Exercising on a rowing machine Performing numerous types of aerobic classes Jumping rope Climbing stairs or exercising on a stair climber The previous list of aerobic activities is only a partial list of physical activities that promote an aerobic effect; as there are countless activities that will achieve the same result. For example, swinging a pick ax to prepare the soil for a garden is an aerobic activity that can produce an aerobic effect. As is evident, the types of aerobic activities that can be performed are limitless."

Answer by Pink gurl Confidence votes 19In both aerobic respiration oxygen is used up while in anaerobic respiration oxygen is noy used up i.e. energy is produced without the consumption of oxygen. If we talk about in biological process then in aerobic respiration glucose is burnt in the presence of oxygen to release energy producing 38 ATP producing carbon dioxide and water. While in anaerobic respiration glucose or any other substrate is burnt without the peresence of oxygen producing 2 ATP of energy and generally alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is produced. the similarity between them is that in both process substate is burnt to release energy. Secondly, both are continuous and occur with some specified steps. BY PINK GURL : IN AEROBIC RESPIRATION THERE IS AN INTAKE OF OXYGEN , LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY IS RELEASES AND THERE IS COMPLETE BREAKDOWN i.e if there are 3 O2 molecules then all these molecules will break .

Many organisms convert the chemical energy stored in food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a type of chemical energy used to power a large number of cellular activities and enzymatic reactions. If oxygen is present, ATP can be generated from food molecules using aerobic cellular respiration. When oxygen is used for respiration, carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product. In the following activities, you will investigate aerobic respiration occurring in different organisms. Keep the following equation in mind as you prepare for and work through these lab activities: Part I: Carbon Dioxide as Evidence of Respiration Since CO 2 is a by-product of cellular respiration, it can be used as an indicator that cellular respiration has taken or is taking place by different organisms. In this activity you will predict which organisms have undergone cellular respiration by predicting which ones will produce CO 2 as a by-product. You will compare your predictions to actual samples suspended over red cabbage extract, a p H indicator that changes color in the presence of carbon dioxide. When CO 2 is present, the solution becomes acidic ( purple) due to the formation of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3) in water (see equation, below)."

Anaerobic respiration occurs in your body when there is not enough oxygen to completely break down glucose for your energy needs. When you exercise vigorously, you force your muscles to work harder, until they eventually reach a point where your lungs can no longer supply sufficient oxygen. Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration Aerobic respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria of your cells when oxygen is present, produces energy from the complete breakdown of glucose, as well as water and carbon dioxide. These byproducts are easily expelled when you breathe. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy; it also produces lactic acid, which is not easily expelled -- it builds up in your muscles and causes soreness and fatigue. Training Knowing the difference between aerobic and anaerobic training is especially important for competitive athletes such as runners. If you run too hard and too soon in a race, your muscles will tire and force you to slow down before the race is over. If this happens in a longer race, you may not even be able to finish."

But recent studies have shown that B. subtilis will grow anaerobically, either by using nitrate or nitrite as a terminal electron acceptor, or by fermentation. How B. subtilis alters its metabolic activity according to the availability of oxygen and alternative electron acceptors is but one focus of study. A two-component signal transduction system composed of a sensor kinase, Res E, and a response regulator, Res D, occupies an early stage in the regulatory pathway governing anaerobic respiration. One of the essential roles of Res D and Res E in anaerobic gene regulation is induction of fnr transcription upon oxygen limitation. FNR is a transcriptional activator for anaerobically induced genes, including those for respiratory nitrate reductase, nar GHJI. B. subtilis has two distinct nitrate reductases, one for the assimilation of nitrate nitrogen and the other for nitrate respiration. In contrast, one nitrite reductase functions both in nitrite nitrogen assimilation and nitrite respiration. Unlike many anaerobes, which use pyruvate formate lyase, B. subtilis can carry out fermentation in the absence of external electron acceptors wherein pyruvate dehydrogenase is utilized to metabolize pyruvate."

Therefore, it is very important to discuss the differences in detail about respiration and breathing in animals. Breathing Breathing is the process of taking oxygen into and expelling carbon dioxide from the body. Breathing is essential for life as it supplies oxygen to release energy from food via respiration. Additionally, it removes carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of respiration. In addition, breathing removes excess water from the body through exhalation. Breathing is a physical process consisting of inhalation, exhalation, and relaxation. Inhalation is an active process while exhalation is passive."

Stress Infection Electrolyte imbalance Examples of endocrine diseases are : Diabetes (most common) -improper process glucose due to the lack of insulin Hypothyroidism – Insufficient amount of thyroid hormone produced Hypoglycemia – low blood glucose What is the exocrine system? Similar to endocrine system, exocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete substances to protect or lubricate the human body."

Examples of exocrine glands include the sweat glands, salivary glands, mammary glands, pancreas and liver. An Endocrine gland is its counterpart. It secretes its essential product without the useof a duct directly into the bloodstream or else by diffusion into its surrounding tissue (paracrine signaling) where it often affects only target cells near the release site. Examples of endocrine glands include the adrenal glands, located atop the kidneys and responsible for the secretion of certain hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol and others.

Exocrine glands are mostly identified as the glands that keep the ducts on the body surfaces whereas endocrine glands are termed as ductless glands because in the process of development, these glands loose their contact or attachment with the embryological ducts or surfaces and remain as only tissue blocks in the body. Both these glands have been found to secrete substances like, enzymes, hormones, metabolites and other varied molecules.

"text": "Glandular epithelium is the membranous tissue made up of cells that covers all the glands in the body. The main function of glandular epithelium is the secretion of fluids into ducts or fluids of the body. Secretion types depend on the location and function of the gland. Epithelium is a tissue that is made up of different types of cells. It forms the inner lining of body cavities and hollow organs, and it covers the body and organs as well. Epithelial tissue is also referred to as avascular tissue because it has no direct supply of blood. Due to the fact that it covers the whole body and lines organs, the epithelium always has a surface that is either exposed externally, as in skin, or internally to an organ, such as the large intestine, or another open space. The types of cells that make up epithelium are quite varied. They are classified by how thick they are and their shape. Generally speaking, epithelium cells are tightly packed together and have no space, or very little space, between them."

"text": "Glandular Epithelium| June 2, 2013 | 0 Comments Glandular Epithelium A gland is one or more cells that produce and secrete a specific product. The product is always a water-based fluid (aqueous) and usually contains proteins (the product is referred to as a secretion ). Secretion is considered an active process. Glandular cells obtain substances needed from blood and transform them (chemically) into a product that’s discharged from the cell. Glands are classified into two groups based on characteristics: Where they release their product- glands can be endocrine (secrete internally) or exocrine (secrete externally). The number of cells they contain- glands can be unicellular (one-celled) or multicellular (more than one cell). Endocrine Glands Endocrine glands are also called ductless glands because eventually, they lose their ducts. They produce hormones (chemical messengers ) and secrete them by exocytosis into the extracellular space. After entering the extracellular space, they enter the blood or lymphatic fluid and travel to specific organs. Each hormone makes its target organ respond in a specific way."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Modes of Secretion of exocrine glands Secretory cells of exocrine glands release their products into ducts in three different ways. The mode of secretion can be classified as merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine. Cells that secrete products via the merocrine method form membrane-bound secretory vesicles internal to the cell. These are moved to the apical surface where the vesicles coalesce with the membrane on the apical surface to release the product. Most glands release their products in this way. In those glands that release product via the apocrine method, the apical portions of cells are pinched off and lost during the secretory process. This results in a secretory product that contains a variety of molecular components including those of the membrane."

Steroid hormones: A steroid hormone is a lipid--an organic (carbon containing) molecule that is fat soluble but not water soluble--that also acts a hormone. All steroid hormones are made up of three six-carbon rings, one five-carbon ring, and a unique side chain, a basic structure that is characteristic of the cholesterol molecule. Nonsteroid hormones Are synthesized from amino acids there are three main types, amine hormones, the modified versions of single amino acids. Peptide hormones - short chains of amino acids (as few as three). Protein hormones - made of polypeptides having as many as 200 amino acids. These operate by binding to receptor proteins the plasma membrane sets off protein relay system that activates enzyme in the membrane. The enzyme converts ATP to c AMP."

Infection affects a person with disease. On the other hand disease is the end result of an infection. This is the main difference between infection and disease. In short it can be said that infection leads to disease. A person gets a disease if he or she carries an infection.

This article highlights the major differences between a sign and symptom with medical examples. Difference in Definitions: The sign is what a physician or doctors see whereas symptom is what a patient experience and may not be verified. Difference in Indications: A sign of a disease is a definite indicator of that disease but symptoms could be one of the major characteristic of a disease. Subjective or Objective: Signs are objective as they are visible and can be measured by using some suitable medical devices. Symptoms are subjective as they cannot see and can only be felt or experienced. It is duty of patient to discuss all his symptoms with physician for proper diagnosis. Difference in Verification: As we know that symptom are only felt by the patients and physicians is unable to get any information about the symptoms of a disease if you do not tell him. It means symptoms which a patient is going to tell the patient cannot be verified but the signs can be verified. For example feeling tired or feeling dizzy is a symptom and fever, hypertension (blood pressure) are signs."

When I was given the opportunity to join the Yale New Haven Teachers Institute and participate in the \"\"Asking Questions in Biology\"\" seminar I knew that I wanted to develop a unit that involved a case study that was both interesting and relevant to my students. As a result of this seminar, I decided that using The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and the discovery of He La cells as a focus was the perfect way for me to interest students in cell biology, and to teach them the importance of asking questions in science. He La cells are one of the oldest and most commonly used immortalized cell lines in scientific research. When cervical cancer cells were taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951, doctors, researchers and scientists had no idea the impact they would have on the understanding of cell biology and treatment of health/disease. He La cells have been used to develop vaccines, in cancer and AIDS research, and in countless genetic studies. In this unit students will use the discovery of He La cells and their use in biomedical research to study cell biology topics such as: cell growth, cell division, virus-cell interactions and vaccine development. This unit will be centered on the discovery of He La cells by using Rebecca Skloot's, \"\"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks\"\" as an anchor text and backdrop for the content of the unit. With the discovery of He La cells as the central focus of the unit, students will learn about the importance of scientific discovery and the impact it has on future research questions and studies."

WARNING: the following article may contain images unsuitable for those who are faint of heart, as photographs of the infection will be shown. Defining Lemierre’s Syndrome Lemierre’s Syndrome is a post-anginal septicemic infection. [ 1] A post-angial infection is one in which the first symptoms include pharyngitis, and later symptoms include a high fever, cervical adenopathy, thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, and distant abscess formation [2]. In lay terms, cervical adenopathy is enlargement of lymph nodes specifically within the neck; thrombophlebitis refers to inflammation of a vein associated with thrombosis, in this case, specifically the jugular vein becomes inflamed. A septicemic infection is one in which the infection or its byproducts enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation throughout the body."

Department of Molecular Biology, New York State Institute for Basic Research The nature of the diseases \"\"Scrapie\"\" is the old Scottish shepherds' name for a disease of their sheep which has been known for several centuries. It is the original example of a group of diseases, known as the \"\"transmissible spongiform encephalopathies\"\" (TSE), sometimes known as the \"\"prion\"\" diseases. The diseases include Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or \"\"mad cow disease.\"\" They affect the brain, disrupting or destroying neurons in large numbers, which inevitably leads to the death of the infected animal. In many respects the diseases are unusual. For example there is a long period, the incubation period, after an animal is infected before signs of the disease can be detected. The incubation period is controlled by a gene of the infected animal which makes a protein called Pr P. There is no apparent reaction to infection in the animal - no immune response."

"text": "Hepatitis CCLOSE ALLWhat is hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is an infectious liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Infections of hepatitis C occur when the virus is able to enter the blood stream and reach the liver. There are other kinds of viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis D, and hepatitis E. These diseases and the viruses that cause them are not related to hepatitis C even though they also affect the liver. They may have other, different symptoms and different modes of transmission, which means that there are different ways of spreading the disease and different means for preventing and controlling these diseases. How long does it take for hepatitis C to develop? The incubation period (the time between initial contact with the virus and the onset of the disease) for hepatitis C is usually 6 to 7 weeks, but it can range from 2 weeks to 6 months. Not all people infected with the hepatitis C virus will develop symptoms. What are the symptoms of hepatitis C? Hepatitis C can develop differently, depending on if it becomes an acute or chronic infection."

The purpose of this curriculum unit is to integrate all academic content areas with the primary focus being the impact of diseases during of the Civil War. Being a middle school, special education teacher, I want to create a unit where my students will envision how social studies relates to math, science and language arts. When I create lessons or units for my students I tell them why it is important for them to learn a particular concept. I want my students to know the purpose of the content in their life and how it could impact their future. Having awareness of the purpose of knowledge gives my students power over their learning. For reasons out of their control, some of my students deal with community issues that I have never imagined. As a result some of my students yearn for control or power over something in there life and when they come to school they attempt to gain control by exhibiting inappropriate behaviors, which unfortunately has manifested into behavioral issues that hinder them from appropriately associating with peers and school staff and at times it gets in the way of their academic attainment. Thus when lessons are presented they are told why and how it is important so they will want to learn the new concept and connect it to a previously taught objective."

The disease goes by many names such as macaw wasting syndrome, myenteric ganglioneuritis, proventricular dilatation syndrome and more. The bottom line is that the disease is characterized by a specific inflammatory pattern found around nerves that causes the target organ to fail. If the affected nerves supply the proventiculus (stomach), food passes undigested and the bird wastes away and starves to death. If nerves in the brain are affected, the bird may suffer from seizures and strange neurological abnormalities. If the nerves to the eyes are affected, the bird can become blind. Wherever nerves can be found, they can be affected by this disease. An affected bird may show only gastrointestinal or neurologic signs in addition to a combination of both. Left untreated, the disease is often progressive until the bird succumbs. Even if treated (usually with anti-inflammatories and autoimmune type drugs), some birds may have progressive disease or stable but persistent clinical signs."

Uponor Radiant floor heating is a comfortable and efficient form of heating where warm water circulates through flexible, specially designed PEX tubing installed under the floor. The heat radiates evenly up through the floor warming people and objects in the room and providing more comfort for less money. Do you need a supplemental ventilation system? Yes, however the ducts can be smaller which saves structural height. Ventilation is necessary to address the latent load and bring in the required refresh air. If a family has allergies, can a radiant floor heating system help? Yes, our radiant heat system has no drafts, fans or blowers to circulate dust, dirt and other allergens throughout a home. Warm radiant floors can eliminate the need for carpeting which is a breeding ground for dust mites, a very common cause of allergic respiratory disease. The result is a clean, healthy environment — a must for people with allergies."

This lesson describes specific heat capacity and explains how the specific heat capacity of water helps to maintain a relatively constant temperature in nature. Learn how to identify the specific heat capacity of other common materials and how to calculate specific heat capacity with an experiment. How to Calculate Specific Heat Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to boil water? Do you know that it takes longer to boil some liquids than it does others? For example, if you were to heat the same amount of water and alcohol, the alcohol boils first. Well, what accounts for this difference? The answer is specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity, or simply specific heat, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance. As water requires more time to boil than does alcohol, you might conclude that water requires more heat than alcohol to raise its temperature."

"text": "TEMPERATURE AND HEATCONCEPTTemperature, heat, and related concepts belong to the world of physics rather than chemistry; yet it would be impossible for the chemist to work without an understanding of these properties. Thermometers, of course, measure temperature according to one or both of two well-known scales based on the freezing and boiling points of water, though scientists prefer a scale based on the virtual freezing point of all matter. Also related to temperature are specific heat capacity, or the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a substance, and also calorimetry, the measurement of changes in heat as a result of physical or chemical changes. Although these concepts do not originate from chemistry but from physics, they are no less useful to the chemist. HOW IT WORKSEnergy The area of physics known as thermodynamics, discussed briefly below in terms of thermodynamics laws, is the study of the relationships between heat, work, and energy. Work is defined as the exertion of force over a given distance to displace or move an object, and energy is the ability to accomplish work. Energy appears in numerous manifestations, including thermal energy, or the energy associated with heat. Another type of energy—one of particular interest to chemists—is chemical energy, related to the forces that attract atoms to one another in chemical bonds. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water, for instance, are joined by chemical bonding, and when those bonds are broken, the forces joining the atoms are released in the form of chemical energy. Another example of chemical energy release is combustion, whereby chemical bonds in fuel, as well as in oxygen molecules, are broken and new chemical bonds are formed."

Heat gains or losses result in changes in temperature, changes in state or the performance of work. Heat is a transfer of energy. When gained or lost by an object, there will be corresponding energy changes within that object. A change in temperature is associated with changes in the average kinetic energy of the particles within the object. A change in state is associated with changes in the internal potential energy possessed by the object. And when work is done, there is an overall transfer of energy to the object upon which the work is done. In this part of Lesson 2, we will investigate the question How does one measure the quantity of heat gained or released by an object?

"text": "Superheated Steam If the saturated steam produced in a boiler is exposed to a surface with a higher temperature, its temperature will increase above the evaporating temperature. The steam is then described as superheated by the number of temperature degrees through which it has been heated above saturation temperature. Superheat cannot be imparted to the steam whilst it is still in the presence of water, as any additional heat simply evaporates more water. The saturated steam must be passed through an additional heat exchanger. This may be a second heat exchange stage in the boiler, or a separate superheater unit. The primary heating medium may be either the hot flue gas from the boiler, or may be separately fired. Superheated steam has its applications in, for example, turbines where the steam is directed by nozzles onto a rotor. This causes the rotor to turn. The energy to make this happen can only have come from the steam, so logically the steam has less energy after it has gone through the turbine rotor. If the steam was at saturation temperature, this loss of energy would cause some of the steam to condense."

"text": "What is Pinch Analysis? Pinch Analysis (also known as process integration, heat integration, energy integration, or pinch technology) is method for minimising the energy costs of a chemical process by reusing the heat energy in the process streams rather than outside utilities. The process requires three pieces of data from each process stream: the heat load (enthalpy) in k W or Btu, the source temperature in °C or °F, and the target temperature in °C or °F. The data from all streams are combined in order to create plots of enthalpy against temperature, called composite curves. Four composite curves are needed, curves for the hot and cold process streams, a combined plot of both the hot and cold composite curves, and the grand composite curve. From the combined curve plot we can see the region where the distance between the hot and cold curves is at a minimum, this region is called the pinch point. This provides an important constaint for the design of our heat exchanger network, it is only after this constraint is determined that we can design a heat exchanger network that can meet our ideal minimum energy requirements. By adjusting the minimum approach distance, known as DTmin, we can find a balance between the ideal minimum utility requirements and the total surface area of our heat exchanger network. As the value of DTmin is made smaller our utility needs go down, but at the same time the required total surface area of our heat exchanger network is increased in order to achieve the necessary amount of heat transfer between our process streams. Therefore, DTmin indicates a bottleneck in the heat integration system."

If heat is a form of energy associated to the particles’ rotational, translational and vibratory movements, how does the heat move through the space between the Sun and the Earth, which density is extremely low? The answer is: heat could be transferred from warmed systems by radiation. The thermal radiation iselectromagnetic radiation that consists of particles and waves, i.e. photons and waves, the same as visible light. Thus, the radiative heat transfer can take place through vacuum. The energy always moves from a warmer system to a colder system.

The units of molar heat capacity are:joules per degree Celsius per mole, J °C -1 mol -1orjoules per Kelvin per mole, J K -1 mol -1We can express the relationship between molar heat capacity (C n ), energy in joules (q), amount of substance in moles (n) and temperature change (ΔT) as a mathematical equation: C n= q n × ΔT = J mol × °CThis equation can be rearranged to calculate the amount of heat energy gained or lost by a substance given its molar heat capacity (C n ), the amount of the substance in moles (n), and the temperature change (ΔT):q = n × C n × ΔTSpecific heat capacity or molar heat capacity can be used to determine the energy change of a chemical reaction in aqueous solution (the Heat of Reaction or Enthalpy of Reaction) in the school laboratory using a simple calorimeter made up of a polystyrene cup fitted with a lid and a thermometer. Specific heat capacity or molar heat capacity can also be used to detemine the energy change of a combustion reaction (see Heat of Combustion of Fuels and Heat of Combustion of Food )Please do not block ads on this website. No ads = no money for us = no free stuff for you!Specific Heat Capacity If you heat some water gently using a heat source like a bunsen burner, the temperature of the water increases. The energy supplied by the bunsen burner causes the water molecules to move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. We can measure the result of this increased kinetic energy as an increase in temperature. The amount of energy absorbed by the water molecules to increase their kinetic energy is referred to as the \"\"heat energy\"\"."

"text": "The first law of thermodynamics12-8-99Sections 15.1 - 15.4Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the study of systems involving energy in the form of heat and work. A good example of a thermodynamic system is gas confined by a piston in a cylinder. If the gas is heated, it will expand, doing work on the piston; this is one example of how a thermodynamic system can do work. Thermal equilibrium is an important concept in thermodynamics. When two systems are in thermal equilibrium, there is no net heat transfer between them. This occurs when the systems are at the same temperature. In other words, systems at the same temperature will be in thermal equilibrium with each other. The first law of thermodynamics relates changes in internal energy to heat added to a system and the work done by a system. The first law is simply a conservation of energy equation: The internal energy has the symbol U. Q is positive if heat is added to the system, and negative if heat is removed; W is positive if work is done by the system, and negative if work is done on the system. We've talked about how heat can be transferred, so you probably have a good idea about what Q means in the first law."

Three factors may be initially considered when selecting a freezer; financial, functional and feasibility. Financial considerations will take into account both the capital and running cost of the equipment and also projected losses such as product damage and dehydration. Expensive freezers should therefore justify their purchase by giving special benefits and if these benefits are not worthwhile, they need not be considered. Functional considerations will take into account such things as whether the freezer is required for continuous or batch operation and also whether the freezer is physically able to freeze the product. For instance, a horizontal plate freezer would be inappropriate for freezing large whole tuna. Feasibility will take into account whether it is possible to operate the freezer in tile plant location. A liquid nitrogen freezer (LNF), for instance, may be suitable in every respect for freezing the product and the high costs of using this method of freezing may be justified. However, if the location of the plant is such that there can be no guaranteed supply of liquid nitrogen, the freezer should not be considered."

This lesson describes specific heat capacity and explains how the specific heat capacity of water helps to maintain a relatively constant temperature in nature. Learn how to identify the specific heat capacity of other common materials and how to calculate specific heat capacity with an experiment. How to Calculate Specific Heat Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to boil water? Do you know that it takes longer to boil some liquids than it does others? For example, if you were to heat the same amount of water and alcohol, the alcohol boils first. Well, what accounts for this difference? The answer is specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity, or simply specific heat, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance. As water requires more time to boil than does alcohol, you might conclude that water requires more heat than alcohol to raise its temperature."

Credit: Jason Doiy E+ Getty Images Full Answer The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.186 J/gm K. This means that each gram of liquid water requires 4.186 Joules of heat energy to raise its temperature by one degree Kelvin. One molar mass of water is equivalent to 18 grams. Therefore, the molar heat capacity becomes the product of 4.186 and 18. It implies that 75.348 Joules of heat energy are needed to raise the temperature of 18 grams of liquid water by one degree Kelvin.

"text": "Oxycodone Vs. Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)There are a variety of painkillers that are now available on the market that can effectively control pain in different clinical conditions. Certain clinical conditions however are accompanied by severe pain that cannot be controlled by over the counter medication. In such cases, stronger painkillers such as narcotic drugs must be given to relieve the pain. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are two such painkillers that are commonly used in clinical practice. In this article, we shall briefly review these and compare and contrast their actions. Oxycodone Oxycodone is a narcotic analgesic that acts on the opioid receptors and exerts its painkilling effects. It is extremely potent but unfortunately carries with it a strong potential for abuse. Hydromorphone Hydromorphone hydrochloride, also called Dilaudid, is also a narcotic agent closely related to morphine. As an opioid analgesic it is a powerful painkiller and is used in a variety of clinical situations."

Most other opiate alkaloids such as thebaine are not used medically and are not analgesics. However many, including thebaine are used to make other drugs like hydrocodone. A drug test for opiates will detect morphine and codeine. 2) Semi-synthetic opioid's- these drugs are NOT naturally occurring substances and are NOT opiates. Examples include hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone, and diacetylmorphine (heroin). These drugs are \"\"built\"\" on opiates and have similar chemical structures."

Description Pain is cited as the most frequent reason for visit to emergency departments (EDs) (Mc Caig, 2001). It can be estimated from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, an annual survey of a representative sample of visits to US EDs, that there are 17 million visits per year to US EDs for specific complaints of pain, 29 million visits including “back symptoms” and “injuries not otherwise specified” as well as specific mentions of pain. However it is widely acknowledged that pain is seriously under-treated in the ED as well as in other health care settings (Ducharme, 1996; Selbst, 1990; Wilson, 1989). The concern regarding under-treatment is reflected in new standards for pain management developed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requiring assessment of pain at triage in the ED and referring to pain measurement as the “fifth vital sign” (Philips, 2000). Proper pain management is a tremendous challenge to ED physicians as pain is not only a noxious experience but also a symptom of injury and disease that needs to be understood and appropriately treated. Further complicating pain management is the large interpersonal variability in pain perception and expression reflecting cultural, contextual, and individual differences between people. Reasons for under-treating pain include concern over side effects of opioids, perception of pain complaints as possible drug-seeking behavior, under-staffing, concern that analgesics will mask symptoms, delay early diagnosis, treatment, and contribute to risks of tolerance and dependence in vulnerable patients. The elderly represent a group of patients who may experience pain differently from the non-elderly patient (Li 2001, Collins 1966, Walsh 1989, Woodrow 1972). This growing population has been significantly underrepresented in pain-related studies."

What is the difference between hydrocodone and codeine? Answer by TSD -RAVEN- Confidence votes 21.8KHydrocodone and codeine are NOT the same chemical compound; they're two different drugs. Codeine is the 3-methylether of morphine. It's almost inactive on it's own, and needs to be converted into morphine via the enzyme CYP2D6 in the liver to cause opioid effects, hence it's a prodrug. The Schedule 4 version of Codeine (syrups, mixed as analgesic with other drugs like Tylenol) is still a pretty weak opioid painkiller and severe pain will typically require something stronger. The Schedule 2 version is an extremely strong opiate, but isn't typically prescribed to most patients; the Schedule 4 version is. Hydrocodone's chemical structure is similar to codeine's but not the same. It's a great deal stronger than codeine and is hence more effective in reducing severe pain. Hydrocodone also has less severe side effects, such as itching and nausea, than codeine.190 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

The reasons that an user would prepare and inject a pill are varying: some may do this primarily for the rush associated with intravenous injection, while others may do it because they think that they are getting higher than they would if they were to take the pill orally or intranasally. Injecting pills can be hazardous to the user's health. Despite this knowledge [and years of constant admonitions by Heroin Helper —Dr. H], many people still choose to continue injecting pills. It is my goal to make pill injection safer by giving instruction on the safest possible preparation method for injecting pills. I think it first necessary to state that the pills are designed for oral administration. That being the case, there have traditionally been no doctors or scientists studying and producing the safest and most efficient methods to inject pills; drug users have had to experiment and find the best ways to do this themselves. Because of this, many unsafe preparation methods, rumors, and bad information have been propagated. Fortunately, there are a few scientists in the world who are studying the most commonly used preparation methods, and trying to determine the safest methods possible.

"text": "Share: Opiates<< Specific Drug Groups/Classes Interpretation Opiates are the natural or synthetic drugs that have a morphine-like pharmacological action. Medically, opiates are used primarily for relief of pain. Opiates include morphine and drugs structurally similar to morphine (eg, codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone). Heroin (diacetylmorphine) is a synthetic opiate made from morphine and is rarely detectable in body fluids. It has a half-life of a few minutes. Illicit heroin often contains small amounts of acetylcodeine. The presence of both codeine and morphine in urine does not rule out the use of heroin. However, the ratio of morphine to codeine can be helpful in discriminating between heroin and codeine use. Ingestion of bakery products containing poppy seeds can also cause morphine to be excreted in urine. If excessively large amounts are consumed, this can result in urine morphine concentrations up to 2000 ng/m L for a period of 6 to 12 hours after ingestion."

The use of opiates typically creates physical as well as psychological dependence and tolerance. Opium is the milky latex fluid contained in the unripened seedpod of the opium poppy (papaver somniferum). Opium contains a number of different alkaloids, but only one family of alkaloids, the phemanthrene alkaloids, can be converted to narcotic substances. It is this highly addictive family of alkaloids and their derivatives that are controlled by national and international law.

Answer this Question Report Favorite Responses (20)Sort PH pharmd06 12 Mar 2006all prescription pain killers can be compared in effectiveness. because all drugs have slightly different affinity for the site at which they work in the body, they can be dosed at different milligrams. it is common for pain management doctors to switch between drugs and an equivalent amount of analgesia can be predicted. for instance 2mg of hydromorphone (dilaudid) is about equivalent to 10mg of oxycodone (percocet). pain management is a delicate process that is tailored to each patient by their physician. Votes: +8 Comment Vote up Report GA gaz908 18 Feb 2012i dont know were u got your comparison that 2 mg s of dilaudid is equivalent to 10 mg of percocet.

"text": "Article Related content Article metrics Rapid responses Response Pain Management in Renal Failure - Choice of opioid Editor – Conway has highlighted the difficulties in managing painful conditions in patients with renal failure (1). However, the suggestion that opioids should be avoided in this group of patients may encourage undertreatment of pain in individuals with renal failure. Patients with chronic kidney disease frequently report pain (2) and patients with cancer often develop severe renal impairment (3). Whilst patients on opioids should be monitored for adverse effects, particular opioids are likely to cause toxicity in renal patients. These include morphine, diamorphine and codeine derivatives which produce toxic metabolites which accumulate in renal failure. Studies report profound respiratory depression and narcosis when renal patients are given these opioids (4) (5). We agree with the suggestion that opioids which accumulate in renal failure should be avoided. However, suggesting buprenorphine for mild to moderate pain and alfentanil for severe pain requires further discussion. Buprenorphine is metabolised in the liver to norbuprenorphine and buprenorphine-3-glucoronide. The parent drug is excreted unchanged via the billiary system but the metabolites are excreted by the kidneys."

Flag What is stronger 4mg of Dilaudid or 30mg of oxycodone? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Generally speaking, hydromorphone, brand name dilaudid amongst others, is in fact stronger mg to mg than oxycodone (on theory), especially as hydromorphone is said to be 6-8 times the strength of morphine. But with that high a dose of oxycodone, I'd say the oxy would be stronger given its at such a high mg. However, if the hydromorphone was at a higher level say 10-20 mg, or even 4-6 mg IV push, the hydromorphone would definitely trump that oxy. But remember, each person is different and some people react better to certain drugs as opposed to others, regardless of FDA conversion strength equivalency ratios.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"A dramatic surge in fentanyl cases fuels opioid epidemic By Nadia Kounang, CNNUpdated 3:19 PM ET, Thu August 25, 2016Photos: Opioids: Addictive painkillers Oxycodone – Oxycodone is a powerful narcotic pain reliever prescribed for moderate to high pain relief. It's often given in an extended-release formula for patients who will need to be on pain medications for long periods of time. Patients are warned not to break, chew, crush or dissolve extended-release tablets because the rush of oxycodone into the system could cause serious health problems, including overdose and death. Though highly addictive, oxycodone is not thought to be as frequently abused as hydrocodone. Oxy Contin, Percocet, Percodan and Tylox are some trade-name oxycodone products. Hide Caption 7 of 12Photos: Opioids: Addictive painkillers Morphine – Morphine is another powerful opioid often administered via syringe for severe pain. It can come in pill form, usually as extended-release tablets and capsules, and is prescribed only to relieve difficult, chronic pain that cannot be controlled by the use of other pain medications. As with most opioids, mixing medications, drinking alcohol or taking other meds that contain alcohol, or using street drugs while taking morphine, increases the risk of breathing problems or other serious, life-threatening side effects. Hide Caption 8 of 12Photos: Opioids: Addictive painkillers Meperidine – Meperidine is another narcotic analgesic, similar to morphine. It's often used to help put people to sleep before an operation and to provide pain relief after childbirth."

Codeine is an opiate analgesic, and is among the four major components directly extracted from opium; the other 3 being morphine, thebaine, and oripavine. Codeine was first isolated and identified in 1832 in France, and set the stage for a new generation of codeine based elixirs and patent medicines. Codeine based products were appreciated as they were safer than morphine products and seemed to carry less risk of dependence or overdose. Codeine today is used in medicine for its analgesic, antitussive, and antidiarrheal properties. Codeine is an immediate derivative of morphine, specifically, morphine's 3-methyl ether. Though codeine is present in opium in small quantities, most pharmaceutical codeine is manufactured from morphine via a simple methylation process. Alternately; codeine may also be produced from the opiate alkaloid thebaine, or even synthesized from scratch. Use: Codeine is the world's most widely used opiate, and is available in most nations of the world. Codeine is used in medicine for the treatment of acute mild to moderate pain, an antitussive to treat non productive painful or dry cough, and as an antidiarrheal for cases of GI disturbance."

"text": "Dariush Mozaffarian, MDInternal Medicine Vitamins and minerals differ in basic ways. Vitamins are organic and can be broken down by heat, air, or acid. Minerals are inorganic and hold on to their chemical structure. That means the minerals in soil and water easily find their way into your body through the plants, fish, animals, and fluids you consume. But it's tougher to shuttle vitamins from food and other sources into your body because cooking, storage, and simple exposure to air can inactivate these more fragile compounds.

"text": "What Are the Daily Vitamins & Minerals Needed for a 65-Year-Old Man?by ELIZABETH FALWELL Oct. 03, 2017All humans need different amounts of 14 key vitamins and 15 key minerals to survive. Because the average man weighs more than the average woman -- and because men have a higher percentage of muscle compared to women -- men need a higher intake of these nutrients. As men age, they require a higher daily intake of certain vitamins and minerals, so the dietary needs of a 65-year-old man differ from those of an older or younger man. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Fat-Soluble Vitamins Regarding daily guidelines for vitamin and mineral intakes, the Food and Nutrition Board -- a branch of the Institute of Medicine within the National Academies -- groups 65-year-old men with all men between ages 51 and 70. Vitamins fit in one of two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins -- which dissolve in fat -- include A, D, E and K and are more easily stored in the body than water-soluble vitamins; the body needs them in smaller daily amounts. A 65-year-old man daily needs 900 micrograms of vitamin A, 15 micrograms of vitamin D, 15 milligrams of vitamin E and 120 micrograms of vitamin K. Water-Soluble Vitamins Water-soluble vitamins comprise the remaining 14 vitamins the human body needs to function. These vitamins are dissolved in water, and are easily flushed out of the system through basic body functions like sweating or urinating. For this reason, these vitamins -- C and all B-group vitamins -- must be obtained in larger daily doses. If you are a 65-year-old man, you daily need 90 milligrams per day of vitamin C, 1.2 milligrams of thiamin, 1.3 milligrams of riboflavin, 16 milligrams of niacin, 1.7 milligrams of B6, 400 micrograms of folate, 2.4 micrograms of B12, 5 milligrams of pantothenic acid, 30 micrograms of biotin and 550 milligrams of choline for optimal health."

"text": "\"While different vitamins and minerals are absorbed as they pass through different areas of the digestive tract (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine), they technically never enter the bloodstream directly from the digestive system. This is because these nutrients are first absorbed from the digestive tract into the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract before they enter the bloodstream. Once they have been absorbed into the epithelial cells they are no longer considered to part of the digestive system. ( In the case of highly fat-soluble nutrients, like fat-soluble vitamins, there is yet another step between absorption and the bloodstream. After these water-soluble nutrients get packaged by the endothelial cells lining the intestine in more complicated molecules, they are sent not into the bloodstream, but into the vessels of the lymphatic system. Only following their passage through the lymphatics do they eventually arrive at the bloodstream. ) As noted above, nutrients undergo absorption in different areas of the digestive tract. For example, some nutrients can even undergo absorption at the very beginning of the digestive tract—inside the mouth! We know that vitamins B6, B12, C, and folate can be absorbed in this way, and so can the mineral zinc. ( You'll find \"\"sublingual\"\" or \"\"under-the-tongue\"\" supplements in most health food stores for exactly this reason.)"

"text": "Healthy Eating Minerals Healthy Eating Minerals: What are they? The Science Minerals are inorganic elements found in your body that must be supplied by your diet for good health. They cannot be manufactured by your body and therefore must be obtained from the food you eat. Plants obtain nutrients from the soil in which they grow, and subsequently, you can get them from the plant foods you eat. You can also get nutrients indirectly from animal foods, because the animal has eaten the plants and stored the nutrients in its body. Another source of minerals is the WATER you drink, with the type and amount depending on your particular water supply. Healthy Eating Minerals Versus Vitamins The other day my husband asked me about the difference between vitamins and minerals. I think this is a common question, since we so often lump them together in our thinking (and in our “vitamin” pills! ) The major difference between vitamins and minerals is, while vitamins are organic compounds, minerals are single, inorganic elements that come from the earth. If you took chemistry in school, you will remember the “Periodic Table of the Elements” which shows all of the elements that have so far been discovered."

Vitamin is an organic compound required in small amounts to maintain good health. They are usually taken through diet as the organisms cannot produce these compounds within them. There are currently recognized thirteen vitamins, which excludes all the other minerals in macro and micro amounts, and essential amino acids required in considerable amounts. These vitamins can be water soluble or water insoluble. One such water soluble vitamin is vitamin B complex, which includes B12 in its ranks. B Complex Vitamin B is required for the proper functioning of the immune system, nervous system, cell growth and its metabolism, maintenance of healthy skin nails and hair. Supplements with the eight major types of vitamin B are called B complexes. These include thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic, pyridoxine, biotin, folic, and cyanocobalamin.

In science and human medicine, nutrition is the science or practice of consuming and utilizing foods. In hospitals, nutrition may refer to the food requirements of patients, including nutritional solutions delivered via an IV (intravenous) or IG (intragastric) tube.

Vitamins (\"\"vita\"\" = life and \"\"amine\"\" = containing nitrogen) are organic (containing carbon, which is an element found in all living things) compounds (containing atoms of one or more different elements). Minerals are pure inorganic elements (containing atoms of the same element), meaning they are much simpler in chemical form than vitamins. All vitamins are essential or required by our bodies, whereas only some minerals are essential nutrients."

"text": "\"Benefits of Minerals While vitamins and minerals are two very different types of substances, they work synergistically to promote good health and wellness as they are responsible for maintaining, or assisting with, the proper functionality of many of the various bodily functions that are required to sustain life. The human body cannot receive or process vitamins without a sufficient supply of minerals. Similarly, minerals will be largely ineffective if not supplemented with a vitamin rich diet. For this reason, it is important to ensure that you consume a diet that is high in both vitamins and minerals. One of the major differences between vitamins and minerals is that vitamins are considered to be organic substances because they contain carbon. On the other hand, minerals lack carbon and are thus referred to as inorganic. Several medical and nutritional experts have concluded that minerals are even more important than vitamins. The health benefits associated with proper mineral consumption can not be overstated. Many illnesses that are due to deficiencies in different vitamins may produce mild effects and are easily treatable. However, deficiencies in several of the mineral types can result in serious health conditions, that if left untreated, can rapidly lead to death."

While no single vitamin, mineral or supplement can treat or cure asthma, research shows that adequate nutrition may relate to the number of asthma attacks and frequency of symptoms experienced.

As I learned, a number of these substances are helpful to anyone interested in optimizing their health, while others are appropriate for people who develop various health problems typical of our culture. The question is really not whether to take supplements. Rather, the questions are which ones, when, and how much. These are hard questions, and because the answers are different for each of us and depend on individual needs, they can’t be fully answered here. However, some general information can help us make informed decisions.

Bond Pricing Most bonds are available in $1,000 denominations; $1,000 is the face value, or par -- the amount to be repaid at maturity. Bonds prices are expressed as a percentage of par: a price of 100 means that a bond costs 100 percent of the face value, or $1,000 for each $1,000 of face value. A bond priced at 96 means it costs $960 for each $1,000 of face value; a bond priced at 105 means the cost is $1,050 for each $1,000 of face value.

"text": "\"Subject 1. The Time Value of Money and Interest Rates Quiz 4 Print Mark as complete Bookmark this LOSAdd my private note Tweet The time value of money (TVM) refers to the fact that $1 today is worth more than $1 in the future. This is because the $1 today can be invested to earn interest immediately. The TVM reflects the relationship between present value, future value, time, and interest rate. The time value of money underlies rates of return, interest rates, required rates of return, discount rates, opportunity costs, inflation, and risk. It reflects the relationship between time, cash flow, and interest rate. There are three ways to interpret interest rates: Required rate of return is the return required by investors or lenders to postpone their current consumption. Discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows to allow for the time value of money (that is, to bring a future value equivalent to present value). Opportunity cost is the most valuable alternative investors give up when they choose what to do with money. In a certain world, the interest rate is called the risk-free rate."

"text": "Bonds Payable One source of financing available to corporations is long‐term bonds. Bonds represent an obligation to repay a principal amount at a future date and pay interest, usually on a semi‐annual basis. Unlike notes payable, which normally represent an amount owed to one lender, a large number of bonds are normally issued at the same time to different lenders. These lenders, also known as investors, may sell their bonds to another investor prior to their maturity. Types of bonds There are many different types of bonds available to interested investors. Some of the more common forms are: Serial bonds. Bonds issued in groups that mature at different dates. For example, $5,000,000 of serial bonds, $500,000 of which mature each year from 5–14 years after they are issued. Sinking fund bonds. Bonds that require the issuer to set aside a pool of assets used only to repay the bonds at maturity."

Learning Objectives Explain how a bond’s value is affected by its term, face value, coupon and discount rate Key Takeaways Key Points A bond ‘s term, or maturity, is how long the issuing company has until it must repay the entirety of what it owes. Otherwise known as the principal or nominal amount, this is the amount of money that the organization issuing the bond has to pay interest on and generally has to repay when the bond is redeemed at the end of the term. A bond’s coupon is the interest rate that the business must pay on the bond’s face value. The discount rate is a a measure of what the bondholder’s return would be if he invested his money in something other than the bond. In practical terms, the discount rate generally equals the coupon rate or interest rate associated with similar investment securities. Key Termsdiscount rate: The interest rate used to discount future cashflows of a financial instrument; the annual interest rate used to decrease the amounts of future cashflows to yield their present value.bond: Evidence of a long-term debt, by which the bond issuer (the borrower) is obliged to pay interest when due, and repay the principal at maturity, as specified on the face of the bond certificate. The rights of the holder are specified in the bond indenture, which contains the legal terms and conditions under which the bond was issued. Bonds are available in two forms: registered bonds and bearer bonds. A bond is a financial security that is created when a person transfers funds to a company or government, with the understanding that at some point in the future the entity issuing the bond will have to repay the amount, plus interest."

Follow 1 answer Answers Best Answer: An example of interest expense vs. interest paid would be when a bond sells at a rate different from it's coupon rate (i.e. it sells at a premium or a discount). Example: $1,000 10 year bond with a coupon of 5%, when the market rate for such a bond is 8%. The bond (assuming annual coupon payments) sells for $798.697558.

The difference of (63.90 - 50.00) $13.90 is added to the carrying value of 798.70, such that over the ten year period, the carrying value equals par $1000 at maturity. ( Note: as the amortization of the premium is added to the carry value, the resulting increase in carry value results in an increase in the interest expense each period.)"

As with any security or capital investment, the theoretical fair value of a bond is the present value of the stream of cash flows it is expected to generate. Hence, the value of a bond is obtained by discounting the bond's expected cash flows to the present using an appropriate discount rate. In practice, this discount rate is often determined by reference to similar instruments, provided that such instruments exist. Various related yield-measures are then calculated for the given price. If the bond includes embedded options, the valuation is more difficult and combines option pricing with discounting. Depending on the type of option, the option price as calculated is either added to or subtracted from the price of the \"\"straight\"\" portion. See further under Bond option. This total is then the value of the bond.

Next Up Bond Effective Interest Method Discount Bond Bond Valuation BREAKING DOWN 'Premium Bond'A premium bond is a specific type of bond issued in nations such as the United Kingdom and Canada. In the United Kingdom, premium bonds are referred to as a lottery bond issued by the British government's National Savings and Investment scheme. In Canada, the Canada Premium Bond, first introduced in 1998, offers a higher interest rate at the time of issue than a comparable Canada Savings Bond. For example, if a bond has a 7% coupon at a time when the prevailing interest rate is 5%, investors \"\"bid up\"\" the price of the bond until its yield to maturity is in line with the market interest rate of 5%. As a result of this bidding-up process, the bond trades at a premium to its par value. A bond premium reduces the yield to maturity of the bond, while a bond discount enhances its yield. The size of the premium declines as the bond approaches maturity."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money How Do Interest Rates Affect Bonds?by Madison Garcia; Updated July 27, 2017When you purchase a bond, you'll receive a series of interest payments and a lump payout when the bond matures. Current interest rates affect the purchase price of the bond, and changes in interest rates affects a bond's subsequent value. Bonds Sold at Par The current interest rate affects whether a bond is sold at par, at a discount, or at a premium. If a bond's interest rate is the same as the current market interest rate, it will be sold at par. Being sold at par means that the issue price of the bond - the price you pay to obtain it - is the same as the face value, which is the amount of money you'll receive when a bond matures. For example, say that you buy a $1,000 bond and the current market interest rate is 5 percent. If the bond also pays 5 percent interest, you'll receive regular interest payments and a $1,000 payment at maturity. Bonds Sold at a Premium or a Discount If a bond's interest rate is different than the current market rate of interest, the issue price won't be the same as the face value of the bond. If the interest rate is higher than the market rate, you'll pay a premium to buy the bond upfront. For example, you may be willing to pay more than the face value - maybe $1,100 instead of $1,000 - to lock in a higher interest rate of 7 percent instead of the market rate of 5 percent."

Bond yields are based on the coupon rate, the price paid and the maturity length of the investment. The 3 key interest indicators are: Nominal Yield, Current Yield, and Yield to Maturity . Nominal The Nominal rate or coupon rate is the fixed interest rate on the bond. This is the rate that the issuer pays to par value. It is fixed, it never changes and it is only paid to par. Par is the amount of bonds you own. This yield may or may not be your total net rate of return. If the bond was purchased at a premium (above par), then your overall yield to maturity will be lower than your stated coupon rate. If a bond has a 7% nominal yield or coupon and was purchased at a premium of $103 ($1030), then your YTM will calculate lower because the 7% interest is only paid to the $1000 par."

"text": "What is the effective interest rate? The effective interest rate is the true rate of interest earned. It could also be referred to as the market interest rate, the yield to maturity, the discount rate, the internal rate of return, the annual percentage rate (APR), and the targeted or required interest rate. For example, a $1,000 bond that promises to pay 5% interest is said to have a stated, contractual, face, or nominal interest rate of 5%. This means that the corporation will pay exactly $50 per year during the life of the bond and the principal amount at maturity. If the market interest rates increase by one percentage point, the 5% bond becomes less attractive and will drop in value because the bond contract states that the corporation will pay $50 per year for the life of the bond–even in a 6% market. New investors will purchase the 5% bond in a 6% market only if they will earn 6% interest over the life of the bond. To arrive at the price they will pay for a bond paying only $50 per year in interest, the investors and the market will discount the future cash flows by 6% to arrive at the present value. ( In other words, the $50 per year annuity will be discounted by 6% and the $1,000 at maturity will be discounted by 6%. The combination of the present value of the annuity and the present value of the maturity amount is the amount that will provide an investor with exactly a 6% return over the remaining life of the bond.)"

Randall, MDPrint Text Size: A A AIf you are lucky enough to have good eyesight, you may be surprised when your diabetes care team recommends that you make an appointment with an eye doctor. If your vision is stable, and your eyes don’t bother you, why should you have your eyes checked? The answer is that many potentially devastating eye problems develop without causing discomfort or distorting vision. Glaucoma and cataract are examples of eye problems that occur commonly in older adults and more frequently in people with diabetes. Generally, these conditions are treatable, but if not caught early enough, they can lead to vision loss or even blindness. Advertisement In addition, there’s diabetic retinopathy, a serious complication that is more likely to occur in people with Type 1 diabetes but may develop in anyone with diabetes. Tight blood glucose control can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of diabetic retinopathy, but the only way to identify this and other eye problems in their earliest and most treatable stages is to have regular, comprehensive eye examinations.-- Keep an eye on your vision! Learn about preventive steps and treatments for diabetic retinopathy from retinal specialist Dr. Charles Wykoff. >>There’s no reason to avoid an eye exam; it involves a series of painless tests that check your visual acuity and general eye health and screen for signs of disease. Before we discuss what to expect at the exam, let’s take a look at the eye and how it works."

Here is a tour of the eye starting from the outside, going in through the front and working to the back. The eye sits in a protective bony socket called the orbit. Six extraocular muscles in the orbit are attached to the eye. These muscles move the eye up and down and side to side, and rotate the eye. The extraocular muscles are attached to the white part of the eye called the sclera. This is a strong layer of tissue that covers nearly the entire surface of the eyeball.

If AMD is further advanced but still dry, supplements are prescribed, to add higher quantities of certain vitamins and minerals which may increase healthy pigments and support cell structure. Treatments for Wet AMD: Laser Photocoagulation Until recently the only available treatment to seal leaking blood vessels associated with wet AMD was with a laser. The earliest treatment was Laser Photocoagulation. Between 1979 and 1994, the Macular Photocoagulation Study Group conducted a number of clinical trials that enrolled patients with CNV lesions ( Choroidal Neovascularization) in one or both eyes. Each affected eye was randomly assigned to either laser treatment or observation. For eligible eyes with CNV in extrafoveal, juxtafoveal and subfoveal locations, laser treatment reduced the risk of severe visual loss. Laser photocoagulation was followed by Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with Visudyne™ (a drug injected intravenously and used to help direct the laser to the affected area)."

A clear fluid called the aqueous humor fills the space between the cornea and the iris. \"\" The cornea focuses most of the light, then it passes through the lens, which continues to focus the light,\"\" explained Dr. Mark Fromer, an ophthalmologist and retina specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. [ The 7 Biggest Mysteries of the Human Body]Behind the cornea is a colored, ring-shaped membrane called the iris. The iris has an adjustable circular opening called the pupil, which can expand or contract to control the amount of light entering the eye, Fromer said. Ciliary muscles surround the lens."

"text": "Overview Retinal detachment Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position. Retinal detachment separates the retinal cells from the layer of blood vessels that provides oxygen and nourishment. The longer retinal detachment goes untreated, the greater your risk of permanent vision loss in the affected eye. Warning signs of retinal detachment include the sudden appearance of floaters and flashes and reduced vision. Contacting an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) right away can help save your vision. Symptoms Retinal detachment itself is painless. But warning signs almost always appear before it occurs or has advanced, such as: The sudden appearance of many floaters — tiny specks that seem to drift through your field of vision Flashes of light in one or both eyes Blurred vision Gradually reduced side (peripheral) vision A curtain-like shadow over your visual field When to see a doctor Seek immediate medical attention if you are experiencing the signs or symptoms of retinal detachment. You are at greater risk of developing a retinal detachment if: You're older than 50You or a family member has had a detached retina You're extremely nearsighted Retinal detachment is a medical emergency in which you can permanently lose your vision. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Retinal detachment can occur as a result of: A sagging vitreous (VIT-ree-us) — the gel-like material that fills the inside of your eye Injury Advanced diabetes How retinal detachment occurs Retinal detachment can occur when the gel-like material (vitreous) leaks through a retinal hole or tear and collects underneath the retina. Aging or retinal disorders can cause the retina to thin."

In order to better comprehend how blindness can affect the individual, it is important to understand what blindness is. Definitions: A person is legally blind if his/her central visual acuity, that is (what they see in front of them), is less than 20/200 in their good eye after correction, such as glasses or contacts. 20/200 visual acuity means that a person can see at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision can at 200 feet. A person can also be considered legally blind if their visual field, that is what they perceive to either side of them is 20 degrees or less. For the purposes of this article, we will look at the top five eye conditions that cause blindness: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinitis Pigmentosa. Other conditions do exist, however, they will not be discussed here. Cataracts: Cataracts are caused by the clouding of the lens of the eye. This means that the light that comes through the pupil and passes through the lens to be focused to the retina is blurred."

Purpose The retina is the very thin membrane in the back of the eye that acts like the \"\"film\"\" in a camera. It is held against the inside back portion of the eye by pressure from fluid within the eye. In the front part of the eye, the retina is firmly attached at a ring just behind the lens called the pars plana. In the back part of the eye, the retina is continuous with the optic nerve. In between the pars plana and the optic nerve the retina has no fixed attachments. The retina collects information from the images projected on it from the eye lens and sends it along the optic nerve to the brain, where the information is interpreted and experienced as sight. Several disorders can affect the retina and retinal cryopexy is used to treat the following conditions:retinal breaks or detachmentsretinal ischemia (retinal tissue that lacks oxygen)neovascularization (proliferation of blood vessels in the retina)Coats' disease (abnormal retinal blood vessels that cause loss of vision)retinoblastoma (intraocular tumors)Demographics Disease and disorders affecting the retina cause the majority of the visual disability and blindness in the United States. Retinal detachment occurs in one in 10,000 Americans each year, with middle-aged and older individuals being at higher risk than the younger population. Coats' disease usually affects children, especially boys, in the first 10 years of life, but it can also affect young adults."

Good eye health and eye care help protect sight, prevent common eye disorders, and treat eye problems early. So how does the eye work? And what common eye disorders exist? Eye anatomy The eye works much like a camera. Light passes through a lens (the cornea) and focuses lights, colors and shapes on the retina. The retina then registers these images and sends them to the brain. To focus vision on things close up, far away and everywhere in between, you simply contract and relax the muscles that make up the thin vascular tissue which secretes transparent liquid within the eye (ciliary body). This function allows us to see objects throughout our range of vision. Other parts of the anatomical eye include the following:cornea - the outer part that focuses light located at the front of the eyeiris - the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light entering the eyelens - the clear part of the eye behind the iris that helps to focus light and images on the retinamacula - the yellowish central area of the retina, which is rich in cones that mediate clear, detailed visionoptical nerve - a bundle of one million+ nerve fibers that carries visual messages from the retina to the brainpupil - the opening at the center of the iris that controls the amount of light that can enter the eyeretina - a light-sensitive tissue lining at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve Eye diseases and conditions Sometimes the shape of your eye doesn't bend the light properly, and this can lead to common vision problems like nearsightedness and farsightedness."

The retina acts like the film in a camera. Bleeding within the retina may originate from either the dog’s blood vessels of the retina or the choroid, which lies behind the retina. The bleeding may come from arteries, veins, or capillaries (the smallest of the blood vessels). Retinal hemorrhages in dogs often arise from some pathologic process either in the eye or somewhere else in the body. Therefore, in many dogs, the presence of retinal hemorrhages is often a sign of a serious underlying disease. The underlying disease may be more of a threat to the health of the dog than the actual hemorrhage. Retinal hemorrhages may involve one or both eyes. The age of onset varies widely and depends upon the ocular problem or underlying cause. Retinal hemorrhages are frequently associated with inflammation of the retina and choroid and may be accompanied by detachment of the retina."

Levels of different cyclins vary depending on phases of the cell cycle, which will determine whether a cell will progress through the cycle or remain at a particular stage.? · 6 years ago0 0 Comment Cyclins go hand in hand with kinases. Cyclins do not cause a cell to progress in the cell cycle because cyclins are mere proteins that regulate the rate of the process, and how fast the cell progresses through this process. Cyclins also act by binding to various kinases, which are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from ATP to other enzymes. The phosphate group activates these enzymes. The quantity of these kinases in the cell remains steady throughout the cell cycle; however they are active only when bound to cyclins. They cannot function without the other. As needed, the cyclin attaches to kinases, which creates more enzymes that can tell the cell to progress to the next phase of the cell cycle."

Tumours often develop within preneoplastic fields of genetically altered cells. The persistence of these fields after treatment presents a major challenge, because it might lead to local recurrences and second primary tumours that are responsible for a large proportion of deaths. Aberrant signalling pathways have been identified in HNSCCs and inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has proved a successful therapeutic strategy. In this Review, we discuss the recent literature on tumour heterogeneity, field cancerization, molecular pathogenesis and the underlying causative cancer genes that can be exploited for novel and personalized treatments of patients with HNSCC. Key points Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) develop in the mucosal linings of the upper aerodigestive tract and are the sixth leading cause of cancer worldwide. Risk factors are exposure to carcinogens, most notably tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption, infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and genetic predisposition. HNSCC is a heterogeneous disease. At least two genetic subclasses can be distinguished: HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumours. Preliminary data suggest that further subclassification is likely to follow."

"text": "Cyclin-dependent kinase, or CDK, is a type of enzymatic protein that resides in eukaryotic cells and plays a key role in cellular metabolism and renewal, a series of biological processes collectively referred to as the cell cycle. Several protein kinases are also classified as genes, making up about 2 percent of all human genes. The mechanism of CDK activity is based on phosphorylation, or the process of contributing phosphate groups to substrate proteins. However, in order for a protein to be modified by phosphorylation, it must form a complex with another kind of protein known as cyclin. This is why this particular specialized protein is termed cyclin-dependent kinase. Aside from regulating cellular function, the other significant activity associated with cyclin-dependent kinase is providing the pathway for signal transduction. In other words, cells are able to communicate with each other by enlisting CDK enzymes to serve as chemical messengers. While this process may be fascinating to biology enthusiasts, it is of primary interest to the medical community due to its implication in the development of disease. In fact, impaired signal transduction is considered largely responsible for the onset of many diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many auto-immune disorders. One of the most promising applications regarding the treatment of such diseases is the possibility of intercepting cyclin-dependent kinase activity in cells."

The alterations in cell cycle duration were observed in the S and G 2 /M phases, whereas the G 1 phase was indistinguishable under liganded and unliganded conditions. In addition, ERα knockdown in MCF-7 cells accelerated mitotic exit, whereas transfection of ERα-negative MDA-MB-231 cells with exogenous ERα significantly shortened the S and G 2 /M phases (by 9.1 hours, P < 0.05) compared with parental cells. Finally, treatment of MCF-7 cells with antiestrogens revealed that tamoxifen yields a slower cell cycle progression through the S and G 2 /M phases than fulvestrant does, presumably because of the destabilizing effect of fulvestrant on ERα protein. Together, these results show that ERα modulates breast cancer cell proliferation by regulating events during the S and G 2 /M phases of the cell cycle in a ligand-dependent fashion. These results provide the rationale for an effective treatment strategy that includes a cell cycle inhibitor in combination with a drug that lowers estrogen levels, such as an aromatase inhibitor, and an antiestrogen that does not result in the degradation of ERα, such as tamoxifen.

"text": "Cell Cycle Control This item was written in association with Dr Margarete Heck and her research group, The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, Institute of Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh, UK. KEY CONCEPTS: A summary of ‘Cell cycle control’. CONCEPTS IN CONTEXT: The division of a cell to produce two daughter cells is fundamental to most forms of life. The ‘life cycle’ of a dividing eukaryotic non-embryonic cell starts with the cell triggered to enter the cell cycle and ends with the equal partitioning of the genetic material and cleavage of the cell during cytokinesis. The whole process is called the cell cycle and consists of four main phases. Entry to the cycle is made in Gap 1 (G1) phase and this is followed in sequence by a DNA synthesis (S) phase, Gap 2 (G2) phase, and Mitosis (M). After mitosis (M) some cells enter the G1 phase of a new cell cycle whilst others may diverge at the start of G1 into a phase called Gap O (zero). Phases G1, S and G2 are often grouped and called ‘interphase’. Cells in G-0 (zero) are quiescent and not dividing (hence zero), this may be permanent or temporary. Mitosis (M phase) had been observed and described in some detail by the start of the 20th century, but it was not until about 50 years later that it was discovered that DNA synthesis took place as a separate process ahead of mitosis."

The cell cycle is divided into phases that are divided into phases – people will refer to the “4 phases” but then there are actually 5, and people also use other words to group those phases together, and other words to subdivide them. I’ve done my best to summarize the relationship among these terms in the following table.

Stivala a Ennio Prosperi b c Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.mrrev.2010.01.009 Get rights and content Abstract Among cell cycle regulatory proteins that are activated following DNA damage, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 CDKN1A plays essential roles in the DNA damage response, by inducing cell cycle arrest, direct inhibition of DNA replication, as well as by regulating fundamental processes, like apoptosis and transcription. These functions are performed through the ability of p21 to interact with a number of proteins involved in these processes. Despite an initial controversy, during the last years several lines of evidence have also indicated that p21 may be directly involved in DNA repair. In particular, the participation of p21 in nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), and DNA translesion synthesis (TLS), has been suggested to occur thanks to its interaction with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a crucial protein involved in several aspects of DNA metabolism, and cell-cycle regulation. In this review, the multiple roles of p21 in the DNA damage response, including regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis and gene transcription, are discussed together with the most recent findings supporting the direct participation of p21 protein in DNA repair processes. In particular, spatio-temporal dynamics of p21 recruitment to sites of DNA damage will be considered together with several lines of evidence indicating a regulatory role for p21. In addition, the relevance of post-translational regulation in the fate (e.g. degradation) of p21 protein after cell exposure to DNA damaging agents will be analyzed. Both sets of evidence will be discussed in terms of the overall DNA damage response.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the function of cyclin and cdks in cell cycle? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: CDKs (cyclin dependent kinases) are, as the name implies, kinases (enzymes that phosphorylate other proteins) that are dependent of a family of proetins called kinases. Cdks do not have any phosphorylation enzymatic activity unless they are bound to cyclins. When they are active, as in the case during the beginning of mitosis, they phosphorylate proteins that control chromosome condensation, nuclear envelope breakdown and spindle assembly. As you can imgine therefore, their activities can be controlled by regulating cyclins, which is in fact the case. Cyclins are called so because their synthesis and degradation has a cyclic manner in the cell. When the cell is to exit mitosis, cyclins will be degraded after ubiquitination (addition of ubiquitins, which mark proteins for degradation by the proteosome) by enzymes called ubiquitin ligases. One of the most well studied of such ligases is the Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC), which ubiquitinates M-cyclins (those that promote mitoic events) and leads to their degradation. As the name implies again, its activity leads to the next stage in cell cycle, anaphase. Hope that was not too much info."

Anaphase (from the Greek ἀνά, \"\"up\"\" and φάσις, \"\"stage\"\"), is the stage of mitosis after the metaphase when replicated chromosomes are split and the daughter chromatids are moved to opposite poles of the cell. Chromosomes also reach their overall maximum condensation in late anaphase, to help chromosome segregation and the re-formation of the nucleus. [ 1]Anaphase starts when the anaphase promoting complex marks an inhibitory chaperone called securin with ubiquitin for destruction. Securin is a protein which inhibits a protease known as separase. The destruction of securin unleashes separase which then breaks down cohesin, a protein responsible for holding sister chromatids together. [ 2] The centromeres are split, and the new daughter chromosomes are pulled toward the poles. They take on a V-shape or Y-shape as they are pulled back. While the chromosomes are drawn to each side of the cell, the non- kinetochore spindle fibers push against each other, in a ratcheting action, that stretches the cell into an oval. ["

Their role is to phosphorylate proteins on either S or T amino acids and thereby regulate the activity of those proteins. Yeast have just one CDK (Cdk1), while ‘metazoans’ (animals) like us have nine, of which four are really critical to the cell cycle and will be introduced today. How are the CDKs themselves regulated? The levels of these proteins remain pretty constant throughout the cell cycle, yet their levels of activity rise and fall cyclically. CDKs need to hydrolize ATP for energy in order to perform phosphorylation. They have an ATP binding cleft whose ability to bind ATP is regulated by two mechanisms."

Each checkpoint serves as a potential point along the cell cycle, during which the conditions of the cell are assessed, with progression through the various phases of the cell cycle occurring when favorable conditions are met.

[ 1] During this process, known as the cell cycle, a cell duplicates its contents and then divides in two. The purpose of the cell cycle is to accurately duplicate each organism's DNA and then divide the cell and its contents evenly between the two resulting cells. In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four main stages: G 1, during which a cell is metabolically active and continuously grows; S phase, during which DNA replication takes place; G 2, during which cell growth continues and the cell synthesizes various proteins in preparation for division; and the M ( mitosis) phase, during which the duplicated chromosomes (known as the sister chromatids) separate into two daughter nuclei, and the cell divides into two daughter cells, each with a full copy of DNA.

In a cell cycle, precise replication of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) duplicates each chromosome . Subsequently, the duplicated chromosomes separate away from each other by mitosis , followed by division of the cytoplasm , called cytokinesis . These monumental transformations in the chromosomes are accompanied by general cell growth, which provides enough material of all sorts (membranes, organelles , cytosol , nucleoplasm) required for the resultant doubling of cell number. This cycle continues indefinitely in specialized cells called stem cells, found in skin or bone marrow, causing constant replenishment of cells discarded by natural physiological processes. Repetition of the cell cycle may produce a clone of identical cells, such as a colony of baker's yeast on a petri dish, or it may be accompanied by intricate changes that led to differentiation into distinctive cell types, or ultimately to the development of a complex organism. In all cases, the DNA sequence of each cell's genome remains unchanged, but the resultant cellular forms and functions may be quite varied. Stages of the Cell Cycle From the viewpoint of chromosomes, four distinct, ordered stages constitute a cell cycle. DNA synthesis (S) and mitosis (M) alternate with one another, separated by two \"\"gap\"\" phases (G 2 and G 1 ) of preparation and growth. Though a generic cell cycle possesses no definitive starting stage, the term \"\"start\"\" of the cell cycle has nonetheless been given to the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication or synthesis."

Salt lakes ('dry lakes' would be probably a more accurate designation) are, however, plentiful and in recent years they have received considerable attention. The largest of them, Lake Eyre - in fact the largest ephemeral lake in the world - which has its own enigmatic fascination to limnologists the world over, was considered permanently dry since its discovery in 1840 until its first recorded filling in 1949. In the decades that followed, fillings of Lake Eyre were still considered as isolated, unique and independent events. Only recently have they been looked at as a predictable manifestation of the world-wide atmospheric and oceanic circulation, of which the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most significant phenomena. It is suggested that Lake Eyre floods are a physical manifestation of strong and positive Southern Oscillation phases and are usually out of phase with the Pacific Dry Zone rainfall and El Nino events. Links have been found between ENSO and large-scale precipitation patterns and 17 global core regions that appear to have a clear ENSO-precipitation relationship have been identified. Five of those are located in Australia and two of them, eastern Australia and central Australia, cover the entire Lake Eyre basin. LAKE EYRE BASINLake Eyre is the terminal point of the great continental drainage system which spreads over 1.14 x 10 6 km 2 of arid central Australia. The Lake Eyre basin is mostly flat with extensive areas of sandy and stony deserts."

The basemap is a Space Shuttle radar topography image by NASA. Part I. The East African Rift System The East African Rift System (EARS) is one the geologic wonders of the world, a place where the earth's tectonic forces are presently trying to create new plates by splitting apart old ones. In simple terms, a rift can be thought of as a fracture in the earth's surface that widens over time, or more technically, as an elongate basin bounded by opposed steeply dipping normal faults. Geologists are still debating exactly how rifting comes about, but the process is so well displayed in East Africa (Ethiopia-Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania) that geologists have attached a name to the new plate-to-be; the Nubian Plate makes up most of Africa, while the smaller plate that is pulling away has been named the Somalian Plate (Figure 1). These two plates are moving away form each other and also away from the Arabian plate to the north. The point where these three plates meet in the Afar region of Ethiopia forms what is called a triple-junction. However, all the rifting in East Africa is not confined to the Horn of Africa; there is a lot of rifting activity further south as well, extending into Kenya and Tanzania and Great Lakes region of Africa."

The only \"\"oceanic lake\"\" on our list, the Caspian Sea spans a portion of the continental boundary between Asia and Europe. Lakes can be formed as a result of tectonic, volcanic, or even glacial activities, but intentional and accidental human activities also have created and destroyed many lakes. Looking at natural causes of lake formation, the fact that most of the world’s great lakes are in North America is by no coincidence. This has come to be because, in the distant past, the region was covered in glaciers and, as these glaciers move constantly, their removal of earth and deposition of melting ice water causes lakes to be formed. Lakes serve as important habitats and water resources. While there’re a lot of noteworthy lakes on the planet, we have listed the 10 largest lakes in the world. Lakes are bodies of water located completely inland, independent and separated from the divisions of oceans and seas. Lakes are larger and deeper when compared to the bodies of water we refer to as ponds, and many of them are fed and drained by streams and rivers. It’s estimated that there are around 2 million lakes across the globe."

But the deserts of the world are much more than just the sandy, lifeless dunes of storybooks. The deserts found on Earth are extremely diverse, each unique in their own way. The dunes of the Saharan Desert, the icy tundra of Antarctica, and the Pacific coastline of the Atacama Desert are all deserts. That is right; they are all scientifically classified as deserts despite their differences. But it is quite simple, really, as they all share one common trait that qualifies them as a desert region: they all receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall a year. Because of the diversity of deserts under this definition, they have been split into sub-regions: Sub-Tropical Deserts, Cool Coastal Deserts, Cold Winter Deserts, and Polar Deserts.

When your destination is what lies across the bridge, then the bridge itself is of great importance. But any great philosopher will tell you that the journey is more important than the destination. Take this sentiment to heart and survey these magnificent structures that are probably one of the greatest inventions of mankind. Huge blocks of concrete suspended over thin air are more than just an engineering marvel. It is a miracle, especially considering where we started out. The first bridges in the world were constructed by nature when a log of wood fell accidentally over hillocks, swamps or marshes. Taking the seed of an idea from here the early Americans used bamboo poles or fallen logs to act as a bridge between rivers and caverns. Then they originated the idea of tying together these logs, poles, branches, and leaves and tied them together with woven fibre to form longer collective bridges. From the ashes of these humble origins rise the modern bridges that have concrete slabs running thousands of metres long, spanning the high-rise of America."

Under Section 305 (b), states are required to periodically report on the quality of all water resources in the state and whether these waters are fully supporting water supply use, recreation activities and aquatic life. Section 303 (d) requires states to identify the subset of state waterbodies where water quality standards are not met and where uses are not supported. The Section 303 (d) List includes those waters (and associated pollutants) that do not support uses, and which require development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) strategy. Because the Section 303 (d) List of Impaired/TMDL Waters is concerned with only impaired waters - and within the universe of impaired waters, only those impaired waters that can be addressed with a TMDL strategy - the Section 305 (b) Report provides a more comprehensive assessment of statewide water quality. Presented here is an Executive Summary of key findings in the most recently (2016) issued New York State Section 305 (b) Water Quality Report. The remainder of the report can be accessed through links in the Table of Contents that follows the Executive Summary. Executive Summary The 54,471 square miles of New York State are rich in water resources. Freshwater resources include more than 87,000 miles of rivers and streams, nearly 7,900 lakes and ponds totaling about 690,000 acres (not including Great Lakes), and over 400 miles of Great Lakes coastline.

The Mackenzie River flows through a vast, thinly populated region of forest and tundra entirely within the Canadian Northwest Territories, although its many tributaries reach into four other Canadian provinces and territories. The river's main stem is 1,738 kilometres (1,080 mi) long, flowing north-northwest from Great Slave Lake into the Arctic Ocean, where it forms a large delta at its mouth. Its extensive watershed drains about 20 percent of Canada.

This is a cool or \"\"cold desert\"\" due to its more northern latitude, as well as higher elevations (at least 3,000 feet, but more commonly from 4,000 to 6,500 feet). Precipitation, generally 7-12 inches annually, is more evenly distributed throughout the year than in the other three North American deserts. Winter precipitation often falls as snow. Playas are a conspicuous part of this desert, due to its recent geological activity. ( When small lakes dry up, they leave a salt crust or hardpan. The flat area of clay, silt, or sand encrusted with salt that forms is known as a playa.) In notable contrast to the other three deserts, Great Basin vegetation is low and homogeneous, often with a single dominant species of bush for miles. Typical shrubs are Big Sagebrush, Blackbrush, Shadscale, Mormon-tea and greasewood. There are only occasional yuccas and very few cactus."

Variant spellings in current, official usage include Hobokam, Huhugam, and Huhukam. The Hohokam culture was differentiated from others in the region in the 1930s by archaeologist Harold S.

Geologically speaking they are extremely young and are less than 10,000 years old. Though they have abbreviated histories the formation of the basins is extremely complex. The modern Great Lakes, like all lakes, will be geologically short-lived and are just transitory features of an ever-changing landscape. Shores are constantly being eroded by wave action, especially in some places and throughout the basin during periods of high water such as we experienced in 1987. The lakes will ultimately be destroyed by a combination of sediment filling and downcutting of their outlets by their discharging rivers. The first spectacular event of this nature will be the demise of Lake Erie, the shallowest of the Great Lakes which has received heavy sediment loading due to human perturbations in the watershed and whose outflow is via the Niagara River and the Niagara Falls. The Falls have been migrating at a rate of 5 feet/year, which if left unchecked would allow for the draining of the lake in about 25,000 years (Hough 1963). Though the Lakes have abbreviated histories, the formation of the basins is extremely complex and is based on the interpretation of past events through the analysis of the geologic record. This analysis is based on what the geologists call the \"\"Principle of Uniformitarianism\"\", where the present effects of several geologic agents are used to interpret the happenings of the past (Dorr and Eschman 1970).

[ 2] The Nile, which is 6,853 km (4,258 miles) long, is an \"\"international\"\" river as its drainage basin covers eleven countries, namely, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Republic of the Sudan and Egypt. [ 3] In particular, the Nile is the primary water source of Egypt and Sudan. [ 4]The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The White Nile is considered to be the headwaters and primary stream of the Nile itself. The Blue Nile, however, is the source of most of the water and silt."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A graphical distribution of the locations of water on Earth Water is distributed across earth. Most water in the Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from the world ocean 's saline seawater, while freshwater accounts for only 2.5% of the total. Because the oceans that cover roughly 78% of the area of the Earth reflect blue light, the Earth appears blue from space, and is often referred to as the blue planet and the Pale Blue Dot. An estimated 1.5 to 11 times the amount of water in the oceans may be found hundreds of miles deep within the Earth's interior, although not in liquid form. The oceanic crust is young, thin and dense, with none of the rocks within it dating from any older than the breakup of Pangaea. Because water is much denser than any gas, this means that water will flow into the \"\"depressions\"\" formed as a result of the high density of oceanic crust. ( On a planet like Venus, with no water, the depressions appear to form a vast plain above which rise plateaux). Since the low density rocks of the continental crust contain large quantities of easily eroded salts of the alkali and alkaline earth metals, salt has, over billions of years, accumulated in the oceans as a result of evaporation returning the fresh water to land as rain and snow. As a result, the vast bulk of the water on Earth is regarded as saline or salt water, with an average salinity of 35‰ (or 3.5%, roughly equivalent to 34 grams of salts in 1 kg of seawater), though this varies slightly according to the amount of runoff received from surrounding land. In all, water from oceans and marginal seas, saline groundwater and water from saline closed lakes amount to over 97% of the water on Earth, though no closed lake stores a globally significant amount of water."

Check out this fascinating infographic. This fascinating infographic on Earth’s highest and lowest points – and the information below – comes from Chiltern Thrust Bore in the UK. On the page where this graphic was originally posted, they added more detail: ABOVE SEA LEVEL29,035ft – Mount Everest Nepal is home Mount Everest, the Earth’s highest point – and to put into perspective just how high it stands, consider that commercial aeroplanes fly at a height of 30,000 – 35,000 ft. Every year, hundreds of adventurers attempt the dangerous feat of reaching the summit of the world’s highest mountain. Although more than 4,000 people have conquered the mountain since Sir Edmund and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay first reached the summit in 1953, around 250 people have died in the attempt.26,000 ft – Death Zone Known as the ‘death zone’ after 26,000 ft above sea level, oxygen levels are insufficient to sustain human life. That’s why mountain climbers must carry oxygen tanks with them when they climb high peaks like Mount Everest.22,595 ft – Ojos del Salado The world’s highest active volcano is located in the Andes on the Argentina-Chile border. The most recent eruption occurred around 1300 years ago, however there is also some evidence of a minor ash emission in 1993.16, 728 ft – La Rinconada La Rinconada is the world’s highest city, located in Peru, and is a destination for only the most valiant. With few tourists and no hotel, La Rinconada is an isolated town for the 50,000 people who live there. La Rinconada started as a gold-mining camp in a remote location, that has grown to ‘major’ city status, and stayed there."

Geography Geography The region known as Patagonia is claimed by both Chile and Argentina and there are no set legal boundaries. In Argentina it is agreed that Patagonia contains the territory south of the Rio Colorado, including the provinces of Neuquen, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego. Chilean Patagonia’s boundaries are more difficult to define as it is not an official region. However, the two Chilean Regions (elsewhere called states) XI (Aisen) and XII (Magallanes) would be considered as part. The southernmost point, at a latitude of nearly 56 degrees is the southernmost continental point on the planet. Calculation of its size is therefore difficult to be exact. From the Rio Colorado to Cape Horn is a distance of about 2,200 km. At its widest point, the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean measures nearly 1,000km, while at its most narrow point it is barely 400km across."

The highest point above sea level in Argentina is located in Mendoza. Cerro Aconcagua, at 6,962 meters (22,834 feet), is the highest mountain in the Americas, the Southern, and Western Hemisphere. The lowest point is Laguna del Carbón in Santa Cruz, −105 meters (−344 ft) below sea level. This is also the lowest point on the South American continent. Due to the higher gravity force in Laguna del Carbón, a pendulum clock, if not corrected, will advance 24 seconds a day.

Summer is from January through March and winter is during the remainder of the year. Because of extremes in topography, average temperatures vary greatly between regions. In the La Sierra region, temperatures average 8°C (47°F) all year. To the east in the montaña forests, the temperature is warmer but still fairly moderate. To the south, in La Selva and the jungles of the Amazon Basin, temperatures average 20°C (68°F) and can soar as high as 35°C (95°F) during the hottest months. The Coast (La Costa) is also warm all year, averaging 20°C (68°F)."

"text": "Ocean trenches are chasms or depressions in the ocean floor. They are usually narrow but extremely deep, reaching some of the lowest below sea level points ever discovered. These trenches are formed at subduction zones, which mark the boundaries of lithospheric plates. The Earth’s lithospheric layer includes the upper mantle and the crust, or surface. All of the planet’s water and land is found on the lithosphere. This layer is not one entire mass, but a congregation of different slabs, called plates. These plates are huge and can be the bedrock of entire oceans and continents. The study of these lithospheric plates and their movement is called plate tectonics, a main theoretical field of geology. There are three main types of boundaries where these plates meet. Transform boundaries are where plates move past each other, divergent boundaries are where plates move away from each other, and convergent boundaries are where one plate slides beneath another."

"text": "\"World's highest motorable roads It is very difficult to determine where’s the highest road on Earth, since it is impossible to establish what is meant by the ‘road’ term. Is it a mountain pass that can only be driven by an expert driver with an adapted car? Is it a road that can be driven only by bicycle or motorcycle? Or do we have to strictly stick to a mountain road that can be driven by an average driver with an average vehicle? Therefore, it is very difficult to define what is meant by the world’s highest road. Search for the world’s highest bikeable roads is mainly characterized by indefinable actual altitudes of respective roads. Relevant literature, maps and information on the internet provide many thousands of (often questionable and conflicting) results. What is certainly evident, and confirmed by everybody, is that the road to Khardung La, at 5.359m (17,582ft) -located northeast of the Indian Himalayas-, is not the highest road on the planet, despite the opinions probably based on the erroneous Guinness World Records, on a large number of misinformed websites and even on the signal at the top of the mountain, which indicates that, with an elevation of 5,682m (18,641ft) is the highest road in the world. Recent GPS measurements show that even this elevation is fake. In the same country there are much higher mountain passes, among them the Umling La, a recently built road to the 'top of the world' at 5.793m (19,005ft) above the sea level in the state of Jammu and Kashmir."

The highest point is approximately 4 km above sea level. There is little exposed rock and, although millions of years ago there was heavy vegetation, today the only plants that grow are very small mosses and lichens. Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest and coldest continent in the world. Height of Antarctica Antarctica has an average elevation of 2500 metres, the highest of all the continents. Australia’s average elevation is only 330 metres. The height of the South Pole is 2830 metres and the highest point on the icecap is in Australian Antarctic Territory, at 4093 metres, at 80°22′ S, 77°21′ E. The highest mountain in the eastern sector of the Australian Antarctic Territory is Mt Mc Clintock (3492 metres) and highest mountain in the western sector of the Australian Antarctic Territory is Mt Menzies (3228 metres). Vinson Massif is the highest mountain in Antarctica, at 4897 metres. Snow (precipitation) in Antarctica Antarctica is the driest continent on earth. The amount of moisture received by the polar plateau is comparable to that falling on the world’s hot deserts."

Experienced and adventurous travellers may want to climb a mountain, while less experienced travellers can still climb many of the world's most famous mountains. And although the highest of them all, Mount Everest, may be the most famous one, a few of the better known mountains might just be several hundreds of metres high with a cable car leading to the top. Below you will find a selection of the most famous mountains on our planet.edit Africa Kilimanjaro Mt Kilimanjaro© All Rights Reserved islandtrek Location: Border Tanzania and Kenya Elevation: 5,895 metres Climb: Physically in good condition, no experience needed The Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 metres ( Uhuru Peak ), is the highest peak in Africa. It also has the distinction of being the tallest free-standing mountain (i.e., not in a mountain range) and the tallest \"\"walkable\"\" mountain in the world. But don't think that it is an easy walk. It will take many days and you need to be in a good physical condition to reach the top. The risk of getting altitude sickness should not be underestimated and can occur on heights of 3,000 metres or more, although usually most people will be fine up to 4,000 metres. For those who are fine with just seeing the mountain, your best bet would be heading towards Kenya for a visit of Amboseli National Park. From this flat and dusty park you will have chances of seeing lots of wildlife and the elephants, giraffes and zebras with in the background the Kilimanjaro might just be the highlight of your trip."

Because of seismic and volcanic activity associated with tectonic plate boundaries along the Pacific Ring of Fire, tsunamis occur most frequently in the Pacific Ocean, but are a worldwide natural phenomenon. They are possible wherever large bodies of water are found, including inland lakes, where they can be caused by landslides and glacier calving. Very small tsunamis, non-destructive and undetectable without specialized equipment, occur frequently as a result of minor earthquakes and other events. Around 1600 BCE, a tsunami caused by the eruption of Thira destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and related cultures in the Cyclades, as well as in areas on the Greek mainland facing the eruption, such as the Argolid. The oldest recorded tsunami occurred in 479 BCE. It destroyed a Persian army that was attacking the town of Potidaea in Greece. [ 1]As early as 426 BCE, the Greek historian Thucydides inquired in his book History of the Peloponnesian War (3.89.1–6) about the causes of tsunamis. He argued that such events could only be explained as a consequence of ocean earthquakes, and could see no other possible causes.

They form a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. This range is about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18° south and 20° south latitude ), and of an average height of about 4,000 m (13,000 ft). The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. Along their length, the Andes are split into several ranges, which are separated by intermediate depressions. The Andes are the location of several high plateaus – some of which host major cities such as Quito, Bogotá, Arequipa, Medellín, Sucre, Mérida and La Paz. The Altiplano plateau is the world's second-highest after the Tibetan plateau. These ranges are in turn grouped into three major divisions based on climate: the Tropical Andes, the Dry Andes, and the Wet Andes."

"text": "\"Tsunami Dates and History Share Free Description: Map showing locations where major Tsunamies hit. Disclaimer What is a Tsunami? Tsunamis are large, often destructive sea waves, which are usually caused by earthquakes below the ocean, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. From the Japanese phrase meaning, \"\"harbor wave,\"\" tsunamis can devastate the infrastructure of coastal cities and can be very deadly. Though tsunamis are often misleadingly called tidal waves for their resemblance to a rising tide, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides, but are caused by movements in the earth, usually far below the ocean. Landslides in the ocean have caused some of the largest tsunamis in history, known as megatsunamis. Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength than normal waves, reaching hundreds of kilometers in length, while the height (amplitude) of the waves remains just above normal, slowly building until it reaches the shallow waters along the coast. Just before the large wave hits the coast, the water drastically recedes in what is called a drawback. The giant wall of water then travels at high speeds toward land, crashing and destroying everything in its path. The tsunami then recedes back to the ocean, pulling with it much of the debris of the structures it has destroyed."

The high peaks of the Cordillera Occidental to the west have a cool climate, and cold winds blow in the Altiplano (the high plains separating Bolivia's two mountain ranges). In the northern Altiplano, however, the climate is moderated by Lake Titicaca. The valleys of the lower Cordillera Oriental have a semiarid Mediterranean-like climate; but the climate becomes semitropical in the Yungas region on the eastern slopes of these mountains, and tropical in the eastern lowlands. The mean annual temperature in the capital city of La Paz, at the edge of the Altiplano, is about 8°C (46°F), compared with mean temperatures of 16° to 19°C (60° to 68°F) in the Yungas region, and 26°C (79°F) in the city of Trinidad, in the eastern plains. A strong wind originating in the nearby Argentine pampas, called the surazo, can bring fierce storms and plunging temperatures in the winter months (June through August). Like climate conditions in general, rainfall in Bolivia varies greatly by region, ranging from 13 centimeters (5 inches) or less in the southwest to over 152 centimeters (60 inches) in the Amazon basin to the northeast. Rainfall in the Yungas region on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental averages 76 centimeters (30 inches) to 127 centimeters (50 inches) annually; it is heaviest between December and February but falls year-round."

How do you even start? Thanks for any help. @_@Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: CCl4 is a tetrahedral molecule comprising four single bonds, known as sigma bonds, between the carbon atom and the chlorine atoms. In this type of bonding the 2s orbital and the three 2p orbitals of the carbon atom are mixed to produce four identical orbitals, a process known as sp3 hybridization. The CS2 molecule is linear and the carbon atom is bonded to each sulphur by a double bond. In this type of bonding, the 2s orbital and one 2p orbital of the carbon combine to produce two identical orbitals in a process known as sp hybridization. The two sp hybrid orbitals form sigma bonds between the carbon and each of the two sulphurs."

Weeks (Saunders College Publishing; ISBN 0-03-0206936) to be a useful tool for mastering the fundamentals of resonance structures. Discussion: Consider the Lewis structure of the carbonate ion, CO 32- . The Lewis structure for this ion has a carbon-oxygen double bond, and two carbon-oxygen single bonds. Each of the singly bonded oxygen atoms bears a formal charge of 1 - . ( Review the formal charge tutorial if needed.) But which of the three oxygens forms the double bond? There are three possibilities: These structures are similar in that the have the same types of bonds and electron positions, but they are not identical. The position of the carbon-oxygen double bond makes them different. In structure A the double bond is with the top oxygen atom, in B with the right hand oxygen atom, and C with the left hand oxygen atom. These oxygen atoms are at different places in space, so these are different structures."

"text": "Hybridization The original valence bond theory, as proposed by G. N. Lewis, is inadequate in explaining bonding and structure of many a covalent species. Hybridization is a model that attempts to remedy the shortcomings of simple valence bond theory. Below, the concept of hybridization is described using four simple organic molecules as examples.eg. 1: methane Experimentally, methane contains two elements, carbon and hydrogen, and the molecular formula of methane is CH 4. Both carbon and hydrogen are non-metals, implying that methane is a covalent compound, not an ionic compound, meaning methane is made up of molecules, not ions. According to valence bond theory, the structure of a covalent species can be depicted using a Lewis structure. The Lewis structure of methane is 1, which shows that there are four carbon-hydrogen bonds in the methane molecule. Experimentally, the four carbon-hydrogen bonds in the methane molecule are identical, meaning they have the same bond energy and the same bond length. VSEPR theory suggests that the geometry at the carbon atom in the methane molecule is tetrahedral (2), and there exists a large body of both theoretical and experimental evidence supporting this prediction. According to valence bond theory, to form a covalent bond, a valence orbital bearing one electron in one atom overlaps with a valence orbital bearing one electron in another atom."

The structures of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide There is an enormous difference between the physical properties of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide (also known as silicon (IV) oxide or silica). Carbon dioxide is a gas whereas silicon dioxide is a hard high-melting solid. The other dioxides in Group 4 are also solids. This obviously reflects a difference in structure between carbon dioxide and the dioxides of the rest of the Group. The structure of carbon dioxide The fact that carbon dioxide is a gas means that it must consist of simple molecules. Carbon can form simple molecules with oxygen because it can form double bonds with the oxygen. None of the other elements in Group 4 form double bonds with oxygen, and so that forces completely different structures on them.

So what is happening between two carbon atoms or a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom to cause them to \"\"stick\"\" together? Because we cannot see atoms, we cannot be entirely sure. Nevertheless, a qualitative application of quantum theory can help explain how bonding occurs. If electrons act like waves in orbitals, then, presumably, those orbitals can overlap in such a manner that the waves constructively interfere (as opposed to destructive interference). This constructive interference occurs between the nuclei of the atoms as they approach one another, and it is related to the fact that the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the area between the positively charged nuclei owing to the electrostatic force. In the case of two hydrogen atoms, the spherical 1 s orbitals overlap to form an ellipsoid-like orbital, as shown below (drawing not to scale), that represents the orbital of the bonded molecule H2. This picture is simple enough: each hydrogen has a half-filled 1 s orbital, and the overlapping orbitals yield a single full 1 s orbital (i.e., a full valence shell) shared by both atoms. The hydrogen nuclei approach until the constructive interference of the electron wave functions is balanced by the repulsion of the positively charged nuclei (as well as the repulsion of the electrons, to some extent). At this point, the energy of the two-hydrogen \"\"system\"\" is minimized, and the hydrogen molecule is stable."

Being mutually negatively charged, the electron pairs repel the other electron pairs and attempt to move as far apart as possible in order to stabilize the molecule. This repulsion causes covalent molecules to have distinctive shapes, known as the molecule's molecular geometry. There are several different methods of determining molecular geometry. A scientific model, called the VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) model can be used to qualitatively predict the shapes of molecules. Within this model, the AXE method is used in determining molecular geometry by counting the numbers of electrons and bonds related to the center atom (s) of the molecule. Wikipedia has related information at VSEPRThe VSEPR model is by no means a perfect model of molecular shape! It is simply a system which explains the known shapes of molecular geometry as discovered by experiment. This can allow us to predict the geometry of similar molecules, making it a fairly useful model. Modern methods of quantitatively calculating the most stable (lowest energy) shapes of molecules can take several hours of supercomputer time, and is the domain of computational chemistry."

Here, you can see the atomic structure of a carbon atom. It has 2 electrons in the innermost shell and 4 electrons in the outermost shell. Elements react because they tend to achieve a completely-filled outermost shell with a total of 8 electrons. Carbon has 4 electrons which mean it needs to lose four or gain four electrons to achieve a stable octet. However, carbon atoms cannot lose or gain electrons on their own to obtain the completely filled outermost shell. So, how can carbon achieve the noble gas configuration? Well, the best way would be for the atom to share valence electrons with other elements. Carbon not only forms compounds with other elements but also with other carbon atoms. When a carbon atom, bonds with another carbon atom or atoms of other elements, it is said to undergo covalent bonding."

"text": "\"1 Why atomic orbitals don't work for molecules Consider how we might explain the bonding in a compound of divalent beryllium, such as beryllium hydride, Be H 2. The beryllium atom, with only four electrons, has a configuration of 1 s 2 2 s 2. Note that the two electrons in the 2 s orbital have opposite spins and constitute a stable pair that has no tendency to interact with unpaired electrons on other atoms. The only way that we can obtain two unpaired electrons for bonding in beryllium is to promote one of the 2 s electrons to the 2 p level. However, the energy required to produce this excited-state atom would be sufficiently great to discourage bond formation. It is observed that Be does form reasonably stable bonds with other atoms. Moreover, the two bonds in Be H 2 and similar molecules are completely equivalent; this would not be the case if the electrons in the two bonds shared Be orbitals of different types, as in the \"\"excited state\"\" diagram above. These facts suggest that it is incorrect to assume that the distribution of valence electrons that are shared with other atoms can be described by atomic-type s, p, and d orbitals at all. Remember that these different orbitals arise in the first place from the interaction of the electron with the single central electrostatic force field associated with the positive nucleus. An outer-shell electron in a bonded atom will be under the influence of a force field emanating from two positive nuclei, so we would expect the orbitals in the bonded atoms to have a somewhat different character from those in free atoms."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry Help someone! Why do molecules have different shapes? Why do molecules have different shapes? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: According to VSEPR theory (pronounced \"\"vesper\"\"), molecules have different shapes because their electron pairs orient themselves so as to minimize repulsions. For example, consider the molecule carbon dioxide, which has two oxygen atoms double bonded to a central carbon atom: O=C=O The double bonds represent regions of electron density, and the molecule is more stable when high-density electron regions are far apart; therefore, the molecule takes on a linear shape with the C=O bonds 180º from each other. Now consider the water molecule: H-O-H I haven't shown them (because I can't) but the oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons as well as the two bonding pairs that form the H-O bonds. These lone pairs prevent the H-O bonds from sitting in a straight line; in fact, they push them into a bent or angular configuration so that the two H-O bonds make an angle of about 105º. That's what VSEPR theory says about molecules; their shape is the result of electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs. Valence-bond theory has a different take on the situation: it uses the concept of hybridized orbitals to explain the 3-D shapes of molecules. In VB theory, atomic orbitals (AOs) from different sublevels can be hybridized to form equivalent orbitals for the purposes of bonding. Consider the carbon atom."

Ringworm infections can occur in humans and in all domesticated species of animals. The name comes from the classical appearance of the round, red, raised 'ring' marking the boundary of inflammation in people infected with the disease. The common name of ringworm is somewhat misleading, in that it is not an infection caused by a worm, and the infected areas are not always ring-shaped. The organisms that cause ringworm infections belong to a specialized group of fungi known as dermatophytes, so the medical name for this disease is dermatophytosis. Some species of dermatophytes are species-specific, meaning that they will only infect one species, whereas others can be spread between different species of animals or from animals to man. In cats, one species of dermatophyte, called Microsporum canis, is responsible for almost all ringworm infections, and this species is infectious to cats, dogs and man. Occasionally ringworm infections in cats may be caused by species such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Both of these species are zoonotic, meaning that they can also infect humans."

"text": "\"Ringworm in Dogs By Ernest Ward, DVMInfectious Diseases, Medical Conditions, Zoonosis & Human Health What is ringworm and what causes it? \"\" Ringworm\"\" is the common name given to a fungal infection of the superficial layers of the skin, hair and nails. Ringworm infections can occur in humans and in all domesticated species of animals. The name comes from the classical appearance of the round, red, raised 'ring' marking the boundary of inflammatory lesions in people infected with the disease. The common name of ringworm is somewhat misleading, in that it is not an infection caused by a worm, and the infected areas are not always ring-shaped. The fungi responsible for ringworm infections belong to a specialized group known as dermatophytes, so the medical name for this disease is dermatophytosis. There are a number of distinct species of dermatophytes. Some species of dermatophytes are species specific, meaning that they will only infect one species, whereas others can be spread between different species of animals, or from animals to man. The three most common fungal species that may cause ringworm in dogs are Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. These three species of ringworm are zoonotic, meaning they can also infect humans. \"\""

Shahbaz Contents [ show]Ringworm in Dogs (Causes, Symptoms, Treatment/Cures, and Prevention)Although it’s called ringworm, it’s not really caused by a worm, but a fungus. It is a popular fungus that can infect dogs, cats, and even humans. Many people have had or known other people who had a ringworm infection. The diagnosis and treatment for humans can be as easy as buying an ointment at a drugstore. However, it doesn’t go as easy as that if the affected species are dogs. In conclusion, every dog owner must be knowledgeable of the signs/symptoms, transmission, and treatment of this infection. Causes: Ringworm can be spread by straight or direct contact with another infected animal, or contact with an item that is tainted with the spores. The spore can be anywhere, it can be on an infected grooming/bathing equipment, in a contaminated kennel, or in a place where an infected animal has already visited. Because of the ability of the spores to survive for a long period of time, your dog can get ringworm from anywhere other animals have been. However, if you have a healthy dog, it will have some resistance to ringworm and won’t contract it."

These include bacteria, microscopic fungi (moulds) and protoctists. Although viruses, which are even smaller than bacteria, are generally considered to be non- living entities, they might also be included here as they are important disease-causing agents. Micro-organisms are the most numerous organisms in any ecosystem. There are about 159,000 known species, although this is thought to be less than 5% of the total in existence. There is vast genetic diversity among micro-organisms, which is not surprising as they began evolving over a billion years before land plants. This, coupled with their small size and reproduction, helps explain why micro-organisms, particularly bacteria, are the most widely distributed forms of life on the planet. While many are cosmopolitan species, others exist in habitats totally inhospitable to larger organisms. There are species of bacteria able to grow in hot springs up to 90 ° C, others live below freezing point in Antarctica, in soda lakes, anaerobic situations, and sites with high concentrations of metals, sulphur and other normally toxic compounds.

The chronic itching, the embarrassing red rings; you just want the infection to go away and never come back. Ringworm is highly contagious, so even if you do cure the infection you need to understand what causes ringworm in humans. It helps to avoid contracting it again as well as prevent spreading it to people and animals that come in your contact. Transmission Between Humans Like many communicable diseases, ringworm can be passed between humans through skin-to-skin contact. The fungus that causes the infection lives on the cells of the epidermis. Touching the infected area usually results in transmission of the fungus, and a person can expect to develop the characteristic symptoms of ringworm shortly afterwards. Transmission from Object to Human Although ringworm prefers to live in moist dark areas on the body, it can survive for a short period of time on surfaces like combs, bedding, and clothing. Touching these items after an infected person has come into contact with them can result in an infection."

"text": "With so many parasites out there, it is tempting to lump ringworm in the same category as hookworms, whipworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. Despite its name, however, ringworm is not actually a worm—it is a fungus. This fungal infection is common all over the world and infects almost all species of domestic animals, including dogs, which is why dog owners should know the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for ringworm. Learn more about worms in dogs What Is Ringworm? Ringworm, as the fungus is commonly called, is named for the round, raised, red ring appearance usually seen in human ringworm infections. Ringworm, scientifically known as dermatophytes, is a collection of pathogenic fungi. In dogs, 70 percent of ringworm cases are caused by the fungus Microsporum canis, 20 percent are caused by the fungus Microsporum gypseum, and just 10 percent are caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The fungus grows and lives in the outermost layer of skin and in the hair follicles of infected dogs, and occasionally in the nails. The infection is superficial, and in most cases only affects a few areas of the dog’s body. Puppies, senior dogs, and immunocompromised dogs sometimes suffer from more widespread ringworm infections."

Toxoplasmosis: A parasitic protozoa that can be contracted by contact with cat feces. Ringworm: This actually isn't a worm at all, but a fungus called Dermatophytes. It forms red lesions on the skin, surrounded by a ring of elevated skin, and can be spread from animals to humans. Hookworms & Roundworms: These are actual parasites that some animals can carry. Humans can become infested by eating soil or sand contaminated by the animal's feces, so it is most often a threat to young children.

If you turn 18 in the States and say \"\"I'm legal!\"\" what does it mean?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: One has to draw the line somewhere. Most, if not all, states have deemed 18 to be the age you can legally enter into agreements, contracts, informed consent, etc. If you are 17 and buy a car, they will want your parents to cosign. At 17, you cannot be legally bound by a contract. At 18, you can. 18 and legal is better than 18 and illegal. Or 17 and an infant."

Senate Bill 151 aims to keep cigarettes out of the hands of teenagers. Nine in 10 smokers take up the habit by age 18, according to the American Lung Association in California, and 36,000 California kids start smoking each year. “Cigarettes are the single most dangerous consumer product ever sold,” said Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-Azusa, the measure’s author. “ It’s time to stop allowing tobacco companies to make their deadly product so readily available to our youth. ”Even as tobacco companies are increasing their influence again at the Capitol, shedding a once-toxic reputation, SB 151 received unanimous support from Democrats, as well as yes votes from four Republican senators: Tom Berryhill of Twain Harte, Ted Gaines of Roseville, Janet Nguyen of Garden Grove and Jeff Stone of Temecula.

Flag • Fri Jul 28, 2017Jose Gomez , Agent, Miami, FLTue Apr 9, 2013The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) publishes a guideline that is somewhat useful for determining the number of individuals you should allow to live in a single rental unit. The guideline says that, typically, you should use the “2 plus 1 person per bedroom†rule. For example: If you have a one bedroom apartment, you should set the limit to three people. You’re probably asking yourself: How could all those people sleep in a one bedroom unit? Well, consider the couch/day bed/crib in the living room/den/office as an optional sleeping area. Not sure if you are a landlord renting out a condo, however, Federal and State fair housing laws (and most communities) also state that you may not discriminate against families. Meaning: A landlord cannot refuse to rent to families—all children included—simply because the landlord does not want to rent to families with children."

"text": "\"What does age have to do with being an adult? Since when do the two come together? The definition for adult has to do with physical descriptions as being fully grown and developed or mental descriptions as being mature and sensible. However, it has come to my attention, and I'm sure everyone else's, that you could find a middle aged \"\"adult\"\" to not qualify as being mature or medical conditions causing him/her to not be fully grown and developed. If maturity and development are to be the defining terms then how is it that we must wait to a certain age to be seen as an adult when we could very well have those qualities at any given age. It has come to my attention that some parents simply want us to make irrational descisions from the lack of experience fearing that we'll make a mistake. However mistakes will be made regardless of age. Taking responsibility for the mistake made at that time is something adults are said to do so why is it that we are not allowed the opportunity to learn from anything? I understand parents live in fear for their child but what if they're underestimating them, sometimes without even being given reason to undermine them. You, as parents or guardians, should know first hand of maturity and responsibility of the young adult, so while they're being at question of a big decision why do you doubt them? \"\""

In all of these cases those affected were not passive victims — rather they fought back with whatever means they had. Similarly, much of this short summary is presented in the form of legislative and legal milestones. But all of those laws and court cases were the direct result of popular struggles and mass political pressure. In no case did benevolent legislators enact civil rights laws or magnanimous judges rule against discrimination without being forced to do so by We the People . The stories of the freedom struggles and resistance to oppression that resulted in the milestones presented here would (and does) fill books. A single webpage cannot document the details of those battles, but it is crucial to remember that from every act of oppression grew a hundred forms of resistance. And every victorious milestone on the Freedom Road was achieved with blood, sweat, and tears. Introduction The two main issues addressed by the southern Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s were ending the \"\"Jim Crow\"\" system of segregation and winning the right to vote for Blacks (and Latinos, Native-Americans, Asians, and others) in the South and elsewhere. But the Freedom Movement of the 1960s did not spontaneously spring up out of nowhere, nor did it disappear when its work was \"\"done.\"\""

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In psychology, maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act, according to the circumstances and the culture of the society one lives in. [ 1] Adult development and maturity theories include the purpose in life concept, in which maturity emphasizes a clear comprehension of life's purpose, directedness, and intentionality, which contributes to the feeling that life is meaningful. [ 2]The status of maturity is distinguished by the shift away from reliance on guardianship and the oversight of an adult in decision-making acts. Maturity has different definitions across legal, social, religious, political, sexual, emotional, and intellectual contexts. The age or qualities assigned for each of these contexts are tied to culturally-significant indicators of independence that often vary as a result of social sentiments. The concept of psychological maturity has implications across both legal and social contexts, while a combination of political activism and scientific evidence continue to reshape and qualify its definition. Because of these factors, the notion and definition of maturity and immaturity is somewhat subjective. American psychologist Jerome Bruner proposed the purpose of the period of immaturity as being a time for experimental play without serious consequences, where a young animal can spend a great deal of time observing the actions of skilled others in coordination with oversight by and activity with its mother. [ 3] The key to human innovation through the use of symbols and tools, therefore, is re-interpretive imitation that is \"\"practiced, perfected, and varied in play\"\" through extensive exploration of the limits on one's ability to interact with the world."

"text": "Grandfather Clause A grandfather clause is a provision in a new statute or zoning ordinance that exempts certain previously existing business, enterprise, or class of persons from the new rules or regulations. Grandfather clauses are a common way to enact new rules, regulations, and laws that affect such enterprises and situations going forward, while factoring in logistical or cost problems that would arise if the old enterprise were to be required to update or upgrade. Such clauses have given rise to the popular term “grandfathered in,” which means that certain people, businesses, or entities are exempt from the new law, rule, or regulation. To explore this concept, consider the following grandfather clause definition. Definition of Grandfather Clause<Noun A legal provision that exempts a business, enterprise, or class of persons from a new rule, regulation, or law that would affect rights or privileges previously held. Origin1895-1900 Americanism What is a Grandfather Clause A grandfather clause is a provision in which businesses, enterprises, or class of persons are exempt from the provisions of a new rule, regulation, or law. Usually, a grandfather clause specifies a date for the division of exempted entities, making it clear that situations that occur from that date forward are subject to the new regulations. In basic terms, a grandfather clause allows the current state of something to remain unchanged, regardless of the policy change. For example: When Washington D. C. raised its legal age for drinking alcohol from 18 to 21 years, a grandfather clause allowed individuals between those ages, who could legally drink before the new law was enacted, to continue drinking. All people under the age of 21 years at the time the law went into effect, could not legally drink until they turned 21."

Please Share!On this page: Definition of legal blindness • Prevalence • Visual acuity • Field of view • Causes of legal blindness • Resources See also: Bionic eyes for people with blinding eye diseases • Resources for the visually impaired Have you ever wondered what it means to be \"\"legally blind\"\"? Some people use the term to describe their vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses if their uncorrected refractive error makes them feel visually disabled (unable to drive a car, for example). Others assume it means the same thing as total blindness (complete lack of form and light perception). In fact, the terms \"\"legal blindness\"\" and \"\"legally blind\"\" mean neither of these things. Definition Of Legal Blindness Legal blindness is a level of visual impairment that has been defined by law either to limit allowed activities (such as driving) for safety reasons or to determine eligibility for government-funded disability benefits in the form of educational, service, or monetary assistance. To be considered legally blind, your visual acuity must be 20/200 or worse in your better eye while you are wearing corrective lenses. The U. S. Social Security Administration (SSA) defines legal blindness as follows: Reduced central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in your better eye with use of the best eyeglass lens to correct your eyesight; or... Limitation of your field of view such that the widest diameter of the visual field in your better eye subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees. ( If you have a visual impairment but are not \"\"legally blind\"\" according to the SSA definition above, you still may be eligible for Social Security benefits on the basis of disability."

For the Dean Koontz novel, see Life Expectancy (novel). Human life expectancy at birth, measured by region, between 1950 and 2050Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of their birth, their current age and other demographic factors including gender. The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is at birth (LEB), which can be defined in two ways. Cohort LEB is the mean length of life of an actual birth cohort (all individuals born a given year) and can be computed only for cohorts born many decades ago, so that all their members have died. Period LEB is the mean length of life of a hypothetical cohort assumed to be exposed, from birth through death, to the mortality rates observed at a given year. [ 1]National LEB figures reported by statistical national agencies and international organizations are indeed estimates of period LEB. In the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, LEB was 26 years; the 2010 world LEB was 67.2 years. For recent years, in Swaziland LEB is about 49, and in Japan, it is about 83. The combination of high infant mortality and deaths in young adulthood from accidents, epidemics, plagues, wars, and childbirth, particularly before modern medicine was widely available, significantly lowers LEB."

Despite a fall in population of 150,000 people in the past year, and almost one million people over the previous five years, Japan is still the tenth largest country in the world by population. An island nation in the Asia Pacific region, Japan is the 40th most densely populated country in the world, with 336 people per square kilometre (869 people per square mile). Four in every five people in Japan live on the main island of Honshu, which has a population density of 447 people per square km. Japan has the longest life expectancy in the world today. The average baby born in Japan today can expect to live until 84. Population Decline in Japan As you can see from the chart, Japan’s population steadily increased through the 20th century, with the exception of a dip in the 1940s caused by the Second World War. After many years of slowing population growth, the number of people who live in Japan has begun to decrease. The fall began in 2004, and has accelerated since then."

"text": "\"Sunday Review | Opinion Why Gender Equality Stalled By STEPHANIE COONTZ FEB. 16, 2013325Melinda Beck THIS week is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Betty Friedan ’s international best seller, “The Feminine Mystique,” which has been widely credited with igniting the women’s movement of the 1960s. Readers who return to this feminist classic today are often puzzled by the absence of concrete political proposals to change the status of women. But “The Feminine Mystique” had the impact it did because it focused on transforming women’s personal consciousness. In 1963, most Americans did not yet believe that gender equality was possible or even desirable. Conventional wisdom held that a woman could not pursue a career and still be a fulfilled wife or successful mother. Normal women, psychiatrists proclaimed, renounced all aspirations outside the home to meet their feminine need for dependence. In 1962, more than two-thirds of the women surveyed by University of Michigan researchers agreed that most important family decisions “should be made by the man of the house. ”It was in this context that Friedan set out to transform the attitudes of women. Arguing that “the personal is political,” feminists urged women to challenge the assumption, at work and at home, that women should always be the ones who make the coffee, watch over the children, pick up after men and serve the meals."

"text": "\"Women in Japanese Society: Their Changing Roles Seth Friedman December 1992 The place of women in Japanese society provides an interesting blend of illusion and myth. There are two distinct Japanese societies - public and private. The popular Western image of the subservient Japanese woman is real, it is however, only an image. In their private family role, women quite often dominate the male members of the household. Judged by Western standards, the women of Japan are unusually dedicated to their families. The current position of women in Japanese society can be attributed to the vestiges of two old philosophies - Confucianism, and Samurai based feudalism. These influences are still strong, however in spite of these influences the public role of women has changed markedly since the beginning of World War II. Japan, perhaps more so then any other country, has undergone numerous, radical transformations during the past 150 years. Beginning with those born in the early 1800's, every generation of Japanese has experienced some sort of revolutionary redefinement of society. Japan has evolved from its semi-feudal roots to become a world power."

Life Expectancy Lags, Slips in Women By Alice Park @aliceparkny June 15, 2011Read Later Image Source Email Print Share Follow @TIMEHealth Americans aren’t living as long as they should, given the relatively sophisticated and expensive health care system in this country. That’s what the latest report from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington shows. While some cohorts of Americans do continue to enjoy increases in life expectancy, populations in 80% of U. S. counties surveyed are not keeping pace with gains made by the countries with the 10 highest life expectancies. Overall, U. S. women’s life expectancy at birth was 81.3 years in 2007, a slip of 15 places in the worldwide ranking since 1987, from 20th to 35th. Women in Holmes County, Miss., which has the lowest life expectancy in the country, can expect to live 73.5 years — which was the average life span of women in the 10 longest-lived nations in 1957. For men, the news is a little better: American men’s average life expectancy at birth in 2007 was 76.7 years, which brought them up from 32nd place a decade earlier to No. 24 worldwide. The report, which will be published in the journal Population Health Metrics, found that women in many parts of the U. S. are not living as long as they did even a generation ago. Health.com reported: Since 1997, women’s life expectancy has slipped or failed to rise in more than 850 counties (compared to just 84 counties for men), including 82% of the counties in Oklahoma, 66% in Tennessee, and 59% in Kentucky. In Mississippi, there are five counties where the life expectancy for women is on par with nations such as Honduras, El Salvador, and Peru."

A stay-at-home dad (alternatively, stay at home father, house dad, SAHD, househusband, or house-spouse) is a father who is the main caregiver of the children and is generally the homemaker of the household. As families have evolved, the practice of being a stay-at-home dad has become more common and socially acceptable. Pre-industrialisation, the family worked together as a unit and was self-sufficient. [ 1] When affection-based marriages emerged in the 1830s, parents began devoting more attention to children and family relationships became more open. [ 2] Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, large-scale production replaced home manufacturing; this shift, coupled with prevailing norms governing sex or gender roles, dictated that the father become the breadwinner and the mother the caregiver. [ 3]The number of stay-at-home dads began gradually increasing in the late 20th century, especially in developed Western nations."

( Jiji)Japan is the country with the longest life expectancy in the world. Within Japan itself, the longest life expectancy can be found in the Amami Islands, which lie between Kyushu and Okinawa and are part of Kagoshima Prefecture. When Kagoshima Prefecture looked into the reasons why its citizens live so long, it uncovered several factors, including an abundance of minerals in the air people breathe and the water they drink; a diet rich in seafood, seaweed, and brown sugar; and a sense of purpose among the elderly. Apart from moving to the Amami Islands - which is probably impractical - the best advice to people wishing to extend their life spans may be to research what makes the islanders live so long and adopt some of their good habits. Japanese Women Lead the World Again According to the most recent data from the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, the average life expectancy in Japan was 78.32 years for men and 85.23 for women in 2002. This was an increase of 0.25 years for men and 0.30 years for women over the previous year and was also the first time that the figure for either gender had exceeded 85 years. Looking at countries around the world, Hong Kong has the longest life expectancy for men at 78.4 years (2001 figure), followed by Japan, and Iceland at 78.1 years (2001 figure). Japan had the highest life expectancy for women, followed by Hong Kong at 84.6 years and Switzerland at 82.6 years (2000 figure)."

Ageing societies: The benefits, and the costs, of living longer Population ageing, defined as a process which increases the proportion of old people within the total population, is one of the main problems of this century. It affects or will affect both developed and developing countries. It appears on the agendas of meetings of all kinds, from the G8 conferences to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summits. According to a report for a recent meeting of the International Social Security Association (ISSA) , this does not mean, however, that all the necessary action has been taken yet.

Type: Article Date issued: 01 December 2009The population of developed countries is ageing fast, and the developing world is only a few decades behind. The proportion of the population aged 65 and over is expected to triple in less developed countries over the next 40 years, rising from 5.8 to 15 per cent of the total population, while in the more developed countries this figure is expected to rise from 16 to 26 per cent (an increase of more than 60 per cent), the ISSA report says. 1 In other words, in the developed countries one person in three will be a pensioner. 2Japan has the oldest population, with more than 22 per cent of its population aged 65 and over. This figure is 20 per cent in Italy and Germany; and in the Southern Cone of America, Uruguay has the oldest population with almost 14 per cent of its population aged over 64. This tendency will increase everywhere by the year 2050; in Japan, for example, there will be only one child under 15 for 3 adults over 64."

In Canada, average life expectancy for males born in 2012 is 80 and for females 84, the agency said in Thursday's report, World Health Statistics 2014. In comparison, males born in Canada in 1990 could expect to live to 74 and females to 81 on average. For both sexes in Canada, life expectancy increased on average from 77 in 1990 to 82 in 2012. Low-income countries have made the most progress, with an average increase in life expectancy by nine years from 1990 to 2012. Worldwide, much of the improvement in life expectancy is the result of fewer children dying before their fifth birthday, WHO director general Dr. Margaret Chan said. The decline translates into 17,000 fewer children dying every day in 2012 than in 1990. \"\" Nevertheless, nearly 18,000 children worldwide died every day in 2012, and the global speed of decline in mortality rate remains insufficient to reach the target of a two-thirds reduction in the 1990 levels of mortality by the year 2015,\"\" the report's authors wrote. The divide between people in high-income countries and low-income countries also persists. WHO said that in high-income countries, most of the gain in life expectancy is credited to fewer people dying before age 60 from heart disease and stroke."

As this definition suggests, there are two basic components of culture: ideas and symbols on the one hand and artifacts (material objects) on the other. The first type, called nonmaterial culture, includes the values, beliefs, symbols, and language that define a society. The second type, called material culture, includes all the society’s physical objects, such as its tools and technology, clothing, eating utensils, and means of transportation. These elements of culture are discussed next. Symbols Every culture is filled with symbols, or things that stand for something else and that often evoke various reactions and emotions. Some symbols are actually types of nonverbal communication, while other symbols are in fact material objects."

What is the cause of such phenomenal health and longevity? We posed this question to one of the leading experts on the subject, Professor Yasuo Kagawa (Jichi Medical School, Tochigi-Ken, Japan). In cooperation with Professor Alexander Leaf (Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) Professor Kagawa surveyed selected areas of the world to find out what determines these significant differences in life expectancy. Serum cholesterol levels in Japanese and in Americans (1960-1980)In his report sent to the Anti-Aging Center-Europe, Professor Kagawa provides a detailed analysis of the possible reasons and factors, which boil down to the following: the Japanese have an extraordinarily low level of cholesterol in their blood, a fact which apparently also explains the very low death-rate from heart disease observed in Japan. A useful graph in Professor Kagawa’s study compares the average level of blood cholesterol sampled in America and Japan and shows how this level has changed during the last two decades. How do the Japanese achieve such a low level of cholesterol in their blood?"

Everything was going swimmingly until the Lord got upset with them, saying, “Let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So He did, and the men began to speak many different languages. No longer able to understand one another, they were unable to work together to build their tower and ended up scattered all over the earth. ( This story of the “ Tower of Babel ,” of course, is the biblical explanation for why people all over the earth speak different languages. ) The problems that began with Babel live on today. Sometimes it seems as if none of us speaks the same language. We misunderstand others, and they don’t understand us. Yet despite its frustrations and challenges, there is no question that language is a marvelous tool. It is the gift that allows us to communicate in a way that no other animals appear to match."

In the process there were a lot of people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, who asked if we were going to bury a statue of St. Joseph in our yard. Simple answer: no. Now, I don’t want to mislead you: there were times when I was frustrated that our house wasn’t selling and we seemed to miss opportunities. But when I look back on it all I can so clearly see the Hand of God, holding some things back and moving other things around so everything would be better than we could have ever hoped for. During it all, even with my worries, I still had a strong feeling that it would all work out. That peace and confident trust were really important to me and so I want to share with you. There’s three things we did in our hope to sell our home:1 – We trusted in God’s goodness, not superstitions. Burying a statue of St. Joseph because it’s supposed to make your house sell is nothing but a superstitious act. As Christians we don’t believe in superstitions – we believe in God."

Silas became one of the world's first immortal beings along with his true love and soulmate, Amara, the oldest known ancestor of the Petrova family or bloodline. In recent times, Silas tricked Atticus Shane into helping him to get out of his tomb by appearing as his dead wife and persuading him to. He then finally did so when Jeremy Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett found the tomb and inadvertently freed him when they tried to take the Cure for immortality he was clutching in his calcified hands for Elena Gilbert. In doing so, Katherine Pierce bit Jeremy and forced him to feed his blood to Silas, who ultimately snapped Jeremy's neck afterward. However, Qetsiyah also managed to come back to life, thanks to some unintentional help from her distant descendant Bonnie, and was able to stop him from succeeding, saving the Other Side in the process."

Monson, then a member of the First Presidency, recounted the New Testament story of how only one of 10 lepers returned to say thank you after being healed by the Savior. Following the theme of gratitude, President Monson went on to express gratitude for mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, his country and the Lord Jesus Christ. \"\" We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude,\"\" President Monson said. \"\" My sincere prayer is that we may, in our individual lives, reflect that marvelous virtue: an attitude of gratitude. \"\" In the October 2010 general conference, President Monson gave a talk titled \"\"The Divine Gift of Gratitude.\"\" He said a grateful heart comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for his blessings. \"\" Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God's love,\"\" President Monson said. \"\" To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven. \"\" President Monson is one of many leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have shared thoughts, feelings, impressions and insights on the topic of gratitude. With the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner, here is a look back at thoughts expressed by church leaders on the topic of gratitude."

The public gets a chance January 26 to talk with county planners about what's ahead for the property, which before a unique land transfer was part of Multnomah County. ( The Oregonian/2014)By Dana Tims | The Oregonian/Oregon Live Email the author | Follow on Twitter on January 21, 2015 at 8:00 AM, updated January 22, 2015 at 6:12 AM0 shares Planning for one of the more unusual pieces of property in Oregon is kicking into a higher gear this year and the public will get a chance January 26 to discuss some of the evolving elements. At stake is long-term planning for the Bonny Slope West area, a 160-acre parcel located about 2.5 miles north of the U. S. 26/Oregon 217 interchange in Washington County. What makes the rolling, wooded area so interesting is its history. Until January 1, 2014, the land was part of Multnomah County, having been brought inside the region's urban growth boundary for future development in 2002. Prior to the transfer, Bonny Slope West's frustrated Multnomah County residents met with a variety of local officials in an effort to determine how urban services could be extended to the parcel. An area designated as rural reserve land – meaning it could not readily be developed – acted as a buffer that effectively isolated the parcel from other urbanized areas in Multnomah County. It was, however, contiguous on two sides to urbanized Washington County. The two counties, acting with state legislative officials and the governor's office, finally arranged the transfer of Bonny Slope West – formerly known as 'Area 93' -- from Multnomah to Washington County."

In The Vampire Diaries, set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, she is portrayed by Nina Dobrev. In the books, Elena was blonde, popular, selfish and a \"\" mean girl \"\". However the show's producers, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, felt that it wasn't the direction they wanted to go with their heroine in The Vampire Diaries television series. Instead, she became a nicer, relatable and more of \"\"the girl next door\"\" type, until her life gets flipped upside down when she meets the Salvatores. In April 2015, Nina Dobrev announced that she would be departing the series after the sixth season finale. Much of Elena's story revolves around her relationships with vampires Stefan Salvatore and his older brother, Damon. It is revealed that Elena is a Petrova Doppelgänger, which is thus responsible for her being identical to her ancestor, Katherine Pierce (née Katerina Petrova). This also has the implication of making her a supernatural creature."

The follow-up to 2012's triumphant 'Slipstream', the new record illustrates the delicate balance of consistency and risk-taking that has defined Raitt's remarkable career for more than forty-five years. On this album, Raitt kept things focused and close to home. Feeling that her recent two-year-long tour was one of her best ever, she was eager to get her touring band back in the studio. She again produced the album herself, and notably, she has writing credits on five of the album's songs—the most original compositions she has contributed to a record since 1998's 'Fundamental'. In many ways, 'Dig In Deep' is a continuation of a new chapter for Raitt that started with the release of 'Slipstream'. That album marked her return to studio recording after seven years and the launch of her label, Redwing Records. A huge success, 'Slipstream' sold over a quarter-million copies in 2012, making it one of the top-selling independent albums, and earned Raitt her tenth GRAMMY Award, for Best Americana Album. From the New York Times to People Magazine, 'Slipstream' was also lauded in numerous critics' lists for album of the year. \"\" The response to 'Slipstream' was such a refreshing and unexpected boost,\"\" she says. \"\""

Flag What are other terms for 'bonnie Irish lass'? Answer by Morgan Dixon Bonnie Lass is a Scottish expression not Irish. You must be referring to the song 'bonnie (attractive-scot) Irish lass (young woman-scot)'. Bonnie Wee lass is certainly more common than the question which I've never heard (wee meaning small). A Colleen (CailÃn) is probably the closest meaning a girl or lass. There is a lot of confusion in the US over the Scottish and the Irish probably given that many Americans are descended from one or the other and through intermarrying now both, combined with the fact of the Celtic (Goidelic or Q Celts) connections between the countries. This has led to other confusions such as the erroneous wearing of kilts and tartans (most invented by the Scott's manufacturers in the 1990's for the tourists) by Irish descended Americans.78 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Outlander/ 22 Apr 2016Outlander: The History vs. Fiction of Bonnie Prince Charlie Share. Sam Heughan breaks down what Charles Stuart's introduction means for Outlander. By Terri Schwartz Bonnie Prince Charlie is an incredibly important figure in Scotland’s history, but in the context of Outlander: Season 2, he’s bad news for main characters Claire and Jamie Fraser. With the Frasers’ mission to stop the Battle of Culloden from ever happening, their goal is to try to prevent Prince Charles Stuart, aka Bonnie Prince Charlie, from staking his claim on the British throne. It’s a huge challenge for Jamie to have to move against his own people, but also a huge challenge for actor Sam Heughan. In filming Season 2, he had to act opposite a fictionalized version of an important figure from his country’s history who is being characterized in a very different manner from how Heughan learned about him in school. Sam Heughan and Andrew Gower on Outlander“He’s been romanticized in Scotland to an extraordinary degree. The Skye Boat Song is about him, our main theme is about him. There’s pictures of him in Scotland,” Heughan said of Bonnie Prince Charlie. “ It’s been romanticized about the great rebellion and his escape, and actually when you look at history you see that he was useless."

[ 6] [5] There are several precursors of soy sauce that are associated products with soy paste. Among them the earliest one is Qingjiang (清酱) that had appeared in AD 40 and was listed in Simin Yueling ( 四民月令 ). [ 7] Others are Jiangqing (酱清), Chizhi (豉汁) and Chiqing (豉清) which are recorded in Qimin Yaoshu ( 齐民要术) in AD 540. [ 7] By the time of the Song dynasty, the term soy sauce (酱油) had become the accepted name for the liquid condiment, [7] which are documented in two books: Shanjia Qinggong (山家清供) [9] and Pujiang Wushi Zhongkuilu (浦江吴氏中馈录) [10] during the Song dynasty. Like many salty condiments, soy sauce was originally a way to stretch salt, historically an expensive commodity. During the Zhou dynasty of ancient China, fermented fish with salt was used as a condiment in which soybeans were included during the fermentation process. [ 5] [11] By the time of the Han dynasty, this had been replaced with the recipe for soy paste and its by-product soy sauce, by using soybeans as the principal ingredient, [6] [7] with fermented fish-based sauces developing separately into fish sauce.

"text": "Pandan Leaf What is Pandan Leaf? Daun pandan is the Malaysian and Indonesian name for this fragrant leaf. Screwpine leaf was the name given by English traders who traveled to Asia. In Southeast Asia, pandan leaf is used to wrap chicken, meat, fish, and desserts before they are barbecued or steamed. They add distinct, sweet, floral-like notes to these products. Malaysians, Indonesians, and Thais add the bruised leaves or its extract to flavor rice dishes and glutinous and tapioca-based desserts and puddings. The whole leaf is used to wrap chicken and other meats before they are grilled or barbecued Australian Aborigines ate the globular, pineapple-sized fruits, destroying an irritating component by roasting them before chewing off the flesh. The nineteenth century explorer Leichhardt discovered, much to his discomfort with a blistered tongue and violent diarroea, that the fruits could not be eaten without being first processed to neutralize their noxious properties. The increased popularity in Asian cuisine in many Western countries over the past decades has made pandan leaf a familiar and increasingly accessible ingredient.. Origin and Varieties Screw pine is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. There are a few varieties of screw pine that differ in flavor and appearance, depending on their origin."

"text": "\"Paramotor Paramotor showing how seat bottom moves to allow for easy ground handling. Paramotor is the generic name for the harness and propulsive portion of a powered paraglider (\"\"PPG\"\"). There are two basic types of paramotors; foot launch and wheel launch. Foot launch models consists of a frame that combines powerplants (engine), caged propeller, and harness (with integrated seat) attached with quick release buckles to the operator's back. Wheel launch units include some type of cart, usually having 3 or 4 wheels, with seats for one or two occupants. Two attachment points connect the left and right risers of a paraglider. Paramotoring is not to be confused with the similar, but different, Powered Parachute which is generally much heavier, more powerful, and has different steering. The term was first used by Englishman Mike Byrne in 1980 [1] and popularized in France around 1986 when La Mouette began adapting power to the then-new paraglider wings. The powerplants are almost exclusively small two-stroke internal combustion engines, between 80 cc and 350 cc, that burn a mixture of gasoline and oil. These engines are favored for their quick high r.p.m."

Fruits are available almost throughout the year though the peaks are around June and December. They are a valuable source of carbohydrates with a lesser amount of calcium and phosphate. The pulp of the ripe fruit is eaten fresh or in syrup (preserved). Preserved or canned jackfruit has become increasingly popular, but the production is limited. Burkill described the juicy flesh around the seed as \"\"The taste is mawkishly sweet and mousy, agreeable to natives of the East, but not to Europeans\"\". The flavour is of ethyl butyrate. The Malays and Chinese in Malacca candy the fruit. Unripe fruits are used as a vegetable (masak lemak) or in soups and are also pickled. The large seeds are boiled or roasted and have a chestnut flavour."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Vascular Surgery Subclavian Steal Syndrome Updated: Aug 14, 2017Author: Iman Bayat, MBBS, MRCS, FRACS; Chief Editor: Vincent Lopez Rowe, MD more... Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery References Background The term subclavian steal describes retrograde blood flow in the vertebral artery associated with proximal ipsilateral subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion, usually in the setting of subclavian artery occlusion or stenosis proximal to the origin of the vertebral artery. Alternatively, innominate artery disease has also been associated with retrograde flow in the ipsilateral vertebral artery, particularly where the subclavian artery origin is involved. Subclavian steal is frequently asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally on ultrasonographic or angiographic examination for other indications, or it may be prompted by a clinical examination finding of reduced unilateral upper-limb pulse or blood pressure. In some cases, patients may develop upper-limb ischemic symptoms due to reduced arterial flow in the setting of subclavian artery occlusion, or they may develop neurologic symptoms due to posterior circulation ischemia associated with exercise of the ipsilateral arm. [ 1]Treatment has traditionally consisted of open subclavian artery revascularization, typically via carotid-subclavian bypass or subclavian artery transposition, which are generally durable procedures. Newer, less invasive options include endovascular intervention with recanalization as appropriate and angioplasty and stenting if required. The clinical relevance of subclavian steal was described in 1961 by Reivich, Holling and Roberts; however, the recognition of retrograde vertebral artery flow dates back another 100 years to Harrison and Smyth. Some papers, including a previous version of this article, advocated restricting the term subclavian steal to patients with neurologic symptoms only, but this is incorrect in view of the substantial literature using this term to describe the hemodynamic scenario of retrograde vertebral flow and proximal subclavian artery disease. Pathophysiology The upper limb is supplied primarily via the axillary artery, the continuation of the subclavian artery that exits the thoracic outlet. On the right, the common carotid artery and the subclavian artery share a common trunk, commonly known, perplexingly, as the innominate (ie, nameless) artery but also referred to as the brachiocephalic artery or trunk."

A Thai curry dish is made from curry paste, coconut milk or water, meat, seafood, vegetables or fruit, and herbs. Curries in Thailand mainly differ from the curries in Indian cuisine in their use of ingredients such as herbs and aromatic leaves over a mix of spices.

The first Thai dictionary from 1873 CE (2416 in the Thai Buddhist calendar) defines kaeng as a watery dish to be eaten with rice and utilizing shrimp paste, onions or shallots, chillies, and garlic as essential ingredients. [ 2] Coconut milk is not included in this definition and many Thai curries, such as kaeng som and kaeng pa, do not feature it. Curries in Lanna (northern Thai) cuisine, with only a few exceptions, do not use coconut milk due to coconut palms not growing well, if at all, in the climate of the Thai highlands. The spiciness of Thai curries depends on the amount and kind of chilli used in the making of the paste. Even within one type of curry the spiciness can differ widely. The word \"\"curry\"\" figures in the Thai language as \"\"kari\"\" ( Thai: กะหรี่ ), and refers to dishes using either an Indian-style curry powder, known as phong kari in Thailand, or to the dish called kaeng kari, an Indian-influenced curry that is made with spices that are common to Indian dishes but less often used in these proportions in Thai cuisine."

[ 1] It consists of a mix of fried rice with vegetables, usually including Chinese onions, eggs, and chicken, quickly cooked at a high flame, often in a wok with soy sauce and oil. It is highly influenced by Chinese cuisine due to the influx of Chinese immigrants to Peru. In Ecuador, a similar dish is known as Chaulafan.

[ 2] [3] With omu and raisu being contractions of the words omelette and rice, [4] the name is an example of Gairaigo. It is a popular dish both commonly cooked at home and often found at western style diners in Japan. Omurice is said to have originated around the turn of the 20th century [4] at a western style restaurant in Tokyo 's Ginza district called Renga-tei, inspired by chakin-zushi. [ 5] The dish was brought to Korea and Taiwan, and it is popular cuisine [6]. In Japan, children in particular enjoy omurice, and it is often featured in okosama-ranchi (お子様ランチ) or kids' meals. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Variations2 Similar dish3 References4 External links Variations [ edit]The dish typically consists of chikin raisu (chicken rice: rice pan-fried with ketchup and chicken) wrapped in a thin sheet of fried egg. The ingredients flavoring the rice vary. Often, the rice is fried with various meats (but typically chicken) and/or vegetables, and can be flavored with beef stock, ketchup, demi-glace, white sauce or simply salt and pepper. Sometimes, rice is replaced with fried noodles ( yakisoba) to make omusoba. A variant in Okinawa is omutako, consisting of an omelet over taco rice."

They are usually located along the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. ( The Desert Biome) . The deserts located near the mountains are formed by the \"\"rain shadow\"\" effect. The \"\"rain shadow\"\" effect is a process of how air moves up a mountain which makes it cold and lose its ability to hold any moisture, but when the air gets through and down the other side of the mountain the air becomes warmer and has the ability to hold moisture again. The more moisture the air can absorb, the less precipitation that area will have, which later forms a desert. (:::: What's It Like Where You Live? :::: ). Also, there two different types of deserts, hot deserts or cold deserts (look at the graph below to see the description of the hot and cold deserts). The fact that deserts typically have little to no vegetation causes them to have extreme temperatures. They are made up of sand, rocks, and gravel and receive very little rainfall each year. ("

"text": "\"Text: Tuco Photos: Tuco, A. Rokka, and Phil SThe Romanian Model 1944 Carbine Clone Romanian production of the M44 Carbine began in the mid 1950's with most examples having the date of 1955 and it would appear that they were produced on relocated Soviet machinery ( as was the case in Poland, Hungary, and China). It is unclear how long the production run lasted but it does seem that the manufacture ran only a short time ( maybe a year or two ). It is also unknown how many of these carbines were produced but with the minor production time period it is assumed the number is much lower than the other M44 clones. These low production numbers make the Romanian M44 an interesting \"\"Cold War\"\" collectable. The reason for the low production numbers has remained a bit of a mystery, and there have been many theories put forth. One such theory does seem to have some hard factual evidence behind it, and I feel it would be improper if I did not at least mention it. It is known that many of the Polish, Hungarian, and Soviet M44's that have been imported in the US came from Romania. This fact means that at some point the M44's of other nations were sent to Romania. This could be due to the fact that the SKS began to make its appearance in the other Eastern Bloc nations a bit before its appearance in Romania. Romania has long been one of the poorer of the Soviet Bloc nations and this lack of wealth was often reflected in the armaments they could employ."

Related Vince Gilligan Pledges To 'Honor' Fans At 'Better Call Saul' Panel While the first cycle of Better Call Saul took us back six years before the events of Breaking Bad, the spinoff has meticulously depicted the beginnings of the transformation of the struggling Jimmy Mc Gill into the take-no-prisoners and spare-no-feelings showman lawyer we came to know as Saul Goodman. To that eventual end, a line was certainly crossed last night on the Season 1 finale of the AMC series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. With the realization that his older brother Chuck, as played by Michael Mc Kean, has been the primary impediment to his legal success, Mc Gill retreated back to his Illinois hometown for a decadent and shifty trip down memory lane in last night’s season ender. In the end, the Bob Odenkirk portrayed Jimmy returned to Albuquerque and what seems like a new and darker path. A Breaking Bad directing veteran, Gould helmed his first episode of the freshman’s season with last night’s “Marco” finale. He also wrote the last episode of Better Call Saul ‘s highly rated 10-episode first cycle. Even before the record-breaking numbers of its February 8 premiere, there was already a future for the show. Better Call Saul was picked up for a second season last July, well before its debut. Recently Gould and I chatted about where Better Call Saul is poised to go and whether more of the Breaking Bad gang show up in Season 2."

He is portrayed by Bryan Cranston. A graduate of the California Institute of Technology, Walt was once a promising chemist who cofounded the company Gray Matter Technologies with his close friend Elliot Schwartz and his then-girlfriend Gretchen. He left Gray Matter abruptly, selling his shares for $5,000; soon afterward, the company made a fortune, much of it from his research. Walt subsequently moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he became a high school chemistry teacher. Breaking Bad begins on Walter's 50th birthday, when he is diagnosed with Stage IIIA lung cancer. After this discovery, he resorts to manufacturing methamphetamine and drug dealing to ensure his family's financial security after his death and to pay for his cancer treatment. He is pulled deeper into the illicit drug trade, becoming more and more ruthless as the series progresses, and later adopts the alias \"\" Heisenberg \"\", which becomes recognizable as the kingpin figure in the local drug trade. Series creator Vince Gilligan has described his goal with Walter White as \"\"turning Mr. Chips into Scarface \"\", and deliberately made the character less sympathetic over the course of the series."

Was the series finale of \"\"Breaking Bad\"\" satisfying? Did it tie up all loose ends? Did the character you wanted to live survive and did the ones you wanted to die get their just deserts? Is it sending you back to the beginning to binge watch it all over again? Just when it seemed Walt was heading out of his New Hampshire hideaway to exact revenge on Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz (for dismissing his involvement with Gray Matter Technologies in the episode previous), he pulled the first of several surprises of the evening. Instead of threatening to kill them outright, he asks them to set up a trust fund so that his children would benefit from the money he'd illegally amassed (presumably the goal of his entire meth enterprise to begin with). Gretchen and Elliott of course are terrified by his sudden appearance in their ritzy new home, but had they been paying attention, they would have seen Walt waltz on in. His entrance is a bit ironic, considering their wealth and legitimacy is in some way a result of his earlier contributions. He's always been there, in the shadows, whether they acknowledged him or not."

( Outside of the main cast, only Hank's partner Gomez can say the same.)

They do it cuz, they do it cuz they hate Americans, man. They’re the Talibans of the zombie world.”) The good news is they’ll be back for more than one episode before the series ends.

Knowing nothing about the drug trade, he enlists the aid of his former student, Jesse Pinkman, to sell the meth he produces. Walt's scientific knowledge and dedication to quality lead him to produce crystal meth that is purer and more potent than any competitors'. To avoid the tedious collection of pseudoephedrine required for production, Walt devises an alternative chemical process utilizing methylamine, giving his product a distinctive blue color. His crystal meth, which is given the street name \"\"Blue Sky,\"\" dominates the market, leading to confrontations with established drug makers and dealers. Walt is initially squeamish about the use of violence, but gradually comes to see it as a necessity. He also comes to find his new status as a drug lord psychologically rewarding, leading him to become less and less reluctant to resort to criminal acts such as theft, extortion, money laundering, depraved indifference, and murder."

I think there were two people there (2) Fifth season, he shoots Mike (1) When you talk about indirect, it becomes fuzzier, he doesn't kill Jane, but he deliberately lets her die. He orders 10 murders that I recall (Gail, then the nine members of Gus's organization in prison). He's accessory after the fact to one murder (the kid on the dirt bike during the train robbery). And since he's the one who hired the shooter, that arguably makes him responsible. Adding those all up, I count 22 deaths that can be laid at Walter's responsibility. But there are others. Walter tried to kill Tuco, and Jesse actually shot him, but it was Hank who actually killed him."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature Rodents Scientific name: Rodentia Share Flipboard Email Print Photo © Martin Harvey / Getty Imagesby Laura Klappenbach Updated December 23, 2017Rodents (Rodentia) are a group of mammals that includes squirrels, dormice, mice, rats, gerbils, beavers, gophers, kangaroo rats, porcupines, pocket mice, springhares, and many others. There are more than 2000 species of rodents alive today, making them the most diverse of all mammal groups. Rodents are a widespread group of mammals, they occur in most terrestrial habitats and are only absent from Antarctica, New Zealand, and a handful of oceanic islands. Rodents have teeth that are specialized for chewing and gnawing. They have one pair of incisors in each jaw (upper and lower) and a large gap (called a diastema) located between their incisors and molars. The incisors of rodents grow continuously and are maintained through constant use—grinding and gnawing wears away the tooth so that is always sharp and remains the correct length. Rodents also have one or multiple pairs of premolars or molars (these teeth, also called cheek teeth, are located towards the back of the animal's upper and lower jaws). What They Eat Rodents eat a variety of different foods including leaves, fruit, seeds, and small invertebrates. The cellulose rodents eat is processed in a structure called the caecum. The caecum is a pouch in the digestive tract that houses bacteria that are capable of breaking down tough plant material into digestible form."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Brioche Type Bread or pastry Course Breakfast, dessert, or snack Place of origin France Main ingredients Flour, eggs, butter, milk, water, cream Cookbook: Brioche Media: Brioche Brioche ( / ˈ b r iː oʊ ʃ, - ɒ ʃ /; French: [bʁi.ɔʃ]) is a pastry of French origin that is similar to a highly enriched bread, and whose high egg and butter content (400 grams for each kilogram of flour) give it a rich and tender crumb. Chef Joel Robuchon describes it as \"\"light and slightly puffy, more or less fine, according to the proportion of butter and eggs.\"\" [ 1] It has a dark, golden, and flaky crust, frequently accentuated by an egg wash applied after proofing. Brioche is considered a Viennoiserie, in that it is made in the same basic way as bread, but has the richer aspect of a pastry because of the extra addition of eggs, butter, liquid (milk, water, cream, and, sometimes, brandy) and occasionally a bit of sugar. Brioche, along with pain au lait and pain aux raisins —which are commonly eaten at breakfast or as a snack—form a leavened subgroup of Viennoiserie. Brioche is often cooked with fruit or chocolate chips and served on its own, or as the basis of a dessert with many local variations in added ingredients, fillings or toppings. Contents [ hide ]1 Forms2 History3 Etymology4 Types5 Gallery6 See also7 Notes Forms [ edit]Brioche has numerous uses in cuisine and can take on various forms, served plain, or as containers for coulibiac, fillet of beef en croute, foie gras, sausage, cervelat lyonnais, and other appetizers or intermediate courses. [ 1] Brioche à tête or parisienne is perhaps the most classically recognized form: it is formed and baked in a fluted round, flared tin; a large ball of dough is placed on the bottom and topped with a smaller ball of dough to form the head ( tête ). [ 2] Brioche Nanterre is a loaf of brioche made in a standard loaf pan. Instead of shaping two pieces of dough and baking them together, two rows of small pieces of dough are placed in the pan."

The average daytime high temperature is 24°C, while the average nighttime low is a comfortable 14°C. Both the average day and night temperatures tend to increase in the course of the month; the average high rises from 23°C to 26°C and the average low climbs from 12°C to 14°C. The overall daily average temperature in June is 19°C, which makes it the third warmest month of the entire year, after July and August. June 21 is the longest day of the year with 15.56 hours of daylight. The rest of the month is quite bright as well, with daylight ranging between 15.42 and 15.55 daylight hours. In addition to being the brightest month of the year, June is also the second least cloudy month—only July has less cloud cover. Cloud cover in June ranges around 68% and doesn't vary much throughout the month. Sunshine Hours Long days and fewer clouds result in June being one of the two sunniest months in the year."

Photograph: Willy de l'Horme/Photononstop I t's almost time to say au revoir to the galette des rois until next year. A French tradition, baked for Epiphany on 6 January, these cakes or pastries are eaten all month long and beyond. You can often find them alongside the bûche de noël before Christmas, and some bakeries sell them as late as March. But January is peak galette des rois time, and I have lost count of the number of slices I have eaten this month. In the north of France, the galette des rois is traditionally a large, circular affair made of puff pastry with a crisp, golden top and a soft frangipane centre. In the south, the gateau (rather than galette) des rois is a doughnut shaped brioche draped here and there with jewel-coloured slices of sticky candied fruits. Where I live, in the south west, the frangipane type seems to be gaining on its southern counterpart."

"text": "Sunday, October 13, 2013Baking basics – Understanding Flour, Part 1Posted in Alternative Flours,Ancient Grains,Baked,Basics, Breads, Pantry, Vegan, Vegan October, November and December are definitely months of heavy duty for our kitchens, as Halloween, Thanksgiving and finally Christmas put our ovens to work like no other period of the year. I decided to start a little series on baking basics, to help myself and others who do not have great experience with baked goods enter this incredible complex – but not complicated, rewarding world. Flour, Italian flour, and general explanations Flour is probably one of the most controversial topics I’ve read about: Some health purists say it’s the devil, some others say that those who say it’s the devil are nuts, and so on. Not to mention the overall confusion on what kind of flour you need for making bread rather than cakes, or what you need for other uses. Though I personally prefer to steer clear of white flour myself, I think it is important to get as much information as you can on the chemistry behind flour and baking, so that everyone can get a step closer to conquering their own baked goods without cluelessly following a recipe that might turn out to be a disaster.i Flour Basics There are many kinds of flour, but what is important to know when picking one are two very basic things: the gluten/starch content and the milling process. Gluten is created by the interaction of two proteins – glutenin, which makes the dough elastic, and gliadin, which makes the dough stretchy. When they absorb water and are kneaded and handled, these proteins ‘come to life’ and create a very elastic web structure – gluten, that is. Gluten can absorb one and a half times its own weight in water, and the web it forms traps the air developed by the yeast. Therefore, the more glutinous a flour is, the more water-absorbent it will be. The fact that a certain kind of flour is rich in protein does not guarantee that it will be good for bread making."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-quiche.htm\nWhat is Quiche?",
"text": "A quiche is egg custard with savory additions like bacon or cheese, baked in an open pastry shell. The dish is a favorite and traditional brunch dish, as it is usually served at room temperature or chilled so the custard has time to set up. It is also quite simple to make, and additions of savory ingredients can vary from the most recognizable, Swiss or Gruyere cheese and bacon, to many newer recipes with more modern additions. Most people believe that the quiche originates from France, and it is fair to say that in its traditional form, attributing origin to the French is quite correct. However, prior to French chefs concocting quiche, German chefs made an egg custard pie called kuchen, meaning cake. The German dish was baked in brioche dough, instead of the more typical pie crust. Eggs and cream were added to bacon and baked in the brioche shell. Food historians are unsure whether the German or the French began to use a pastry shell, which is a combination of flour, shortening like lard or butter, and a bit of cold water. The French are credited with the one of the most popular forms, Quiche Lorraine, which at first only added the bacon. The addition of cheese began much later."

It is also popular in many other countries today, including the US, UK, Australia and elsewhere. Unlike most desserts we would term cake, kugelhopf is a yeast-risen cake, using active dry or fresh yeast instead of baking soda or baking powder. This gives the cake a slightly denser more “bready” texture, similar to the Italian panettone. Kugelhopf is also not frequently served as an after dinner dessert. Instead it’s considered more of a coffee cake that might be eaten for or with breakfast, or could be part of an afternoon snack. There’s certainly no reason not to serve it as dessert after dinner, since it is still nicely sweet, and especially if the dinner has been relatively light."

Newman Updated February 2018Choose your bread. The offerings in a good boulangerie, a baker’s shop. Photograph courtesy of Mathieu Thouvenin The French word for bread is written painand pronounced pan. Bread may be the most basic of all foods, but, in France, choosing bread is also an institution. From my experience the French care more about bread and the types of bread available than any other nation. When you visit France look for an opportunity at breakfast or even better, on a picnic, then you may have an excuse to buy three or four different breads of your own choosing, only one should be regular white bread. On that picnic take along a couple of cheeses, French butter, a pate and an enjoyable bottle, or two, of wine; then French bread will make its preeminence clear. Bon appetite! Don’t take too much cheese or pate; I have done that many times, and I know that 30 grams per person of a cheese and or a pate is more than will be eaten if there are three, four choices."

"text": "\"Fresh King Cakes Directly from New Orleans What’s a Mardi Gras party without a King Cake? Mardi Gras and king cakes go hand in hand – especially in New Orleans where hundreds of thousands of king cakes are enjoyed at parties, offices and in homes every year. According to the Christian faith, Jesus first showed himself to the three wise men and to the world on January 6th, also known as Twelfth Night or the Epiphany. The word \"\"Epiphany” is from the Greek word \"\"to show.” This is the day Mardi Gras season – hence king cake season – begins. Each king cake has a tiny baby inside (generally plastic now, but it's possible the baby might be made of porcelain or even gold). The lucky person who receives the slice of cake with the baby has the next king cake party (or brings the next cake for the office). Originally, king cakes were a simple ring of dough with a small amount of decoration. After the rich dough is braided and baked, the top of the cake is covered with delicious sugar toppings in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold. In more recent years, many bakeries have been creative, topping their cakes with different flavors of cream cheese and fruit fillings and offering them in various shapes."

"text": "What is a Baguette? May 28, 2013 , madhu , Leave a comment A baguette is a traditional French bread. It originated in France in the 1800s, gained popularity in the 1900s, and is now found in most parts of the world. A baguette is essentially sandwich bread. Its smell is divine, and it is a long loaf, crispy on the outside with a light, airy interior. Its diameter is around 2 inches and the length is approximately 26 inches (a little more than two feet). Even though a baguette is a French bread, it can be found outside of France because of its immense popularity in terms of flavor and texture. The name baguette is derived from the Latin word balucum, which means a stick or wand. This name suits the bread, because it is long, resembling a wand. The ingredients required to bake a loaf of this bread are salt, water, yeast, and flour."

"text": "\"Brioche knitting From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Two-color Brioche knitting Brioche knitting is a family of knitting patterns involving tucked stitches, i.e., yarn overs that are knitted together with a slipped stitch from the previous row. Such stitches may also be made by knitting into the row below (equivalent to the slipped stitch) and dropping the stitch above (equivalent to the yarn over). The tucked stitches may form a second layer of knitting in front of the first layer, resembling an array of arches or (seen upside-down) of fish scales. Although warm and beautiful in texture, garments made from brioche knitting have the possible drawback that the tucked stitches might get caught and be pulled out. Brioche knitting may have originated in the Middle East. However, the term \"\"brioche\"\" seems to have derived from French slang for \"\"mistake\"\". The name might be a reference to the brioche dinner roll, which is formed of two pieces, one stacked atop the other. Brioche Stitch is included in Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns and in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Without Tears. Nancy Marchant introduced several varieties of the brioche stitch to American knitters with her book Brioche Knitting, inspired by the brioche knitting she found very prevalent in the Netherlands. [ 1] The brioche stitch can be used to knit any kind of garment or project that regular knitting can be used for, but will be double-thick."

Biblical: a young beautiful Hebrew woman who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus, and risked herself to save her people. Jews celebrate the festival of Purim in memory of her. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah meaning both \"\"myrtle\"\" and \"\"bride\"\", and the form Esther is a Persian translation of it. It could also derive from Persian stara meaning \"\"star\"\", or be a Hebrew form of the name of the Persian goddess of love and fertility Ishtar. Esther has traditionally been given to girls born during the period of Purim, the feast that celebrates Esther's biblical achievements. The name was later taken up by the Puritans in the 17th century. Though not related in origin, Esther has been used before as an English form of the Irish Gaelic name Aislinn."

It is a Syro-Arabian modification of the Persian word satarah, which means a star. She was the daughter of Abihail, a Benjamite. Her family did not avail themselves of the permission granted by Cyrus to the exiles to return to Jerusalem; and she resided with her cousin Mordecai, who held some office in the household of the Persian king at \"\"Shushan in the palace.\"\" Ahasuerus having divorced Vashti, chose Esther to be his wife. Soon after this he gave Haman the Agagite, his prime minister, power and authority to kill and extirpate all the Jews throughout the Persian empire. By the interposition of Esther this terrible catastrophe was averted. Haman was hanged on the gallows he had intended for Mordecai ( Esther 7 ); and the Jews established an annual feast, the feast of Purim (q.v. ), in memory of their wonderful deliverance."

The Story, Celebration, and Meaning of Purim Share Flipboard Email Print David Silverman/Getty Images News/Getty Imagesby Ariela Pelaia Updated March 03, 2018One of the most festive and popular of the Jewish holidays, Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jews from imminent doom at the hands of their enemies in ancient Persia as told in the biblical Book of Esther. When Is it Celebrated? Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which usually falls sometime in February or March. The Jewish calendar follows a 19-year cycle. There are seven leap years in each cycle. The leap year contains an extra month: Adar I and Adar II. Purim is celebrated in Adar II and Purim Katan (small Purim) is celebrated in Adar I. Purim is such a popular holiday that the ancient rabbis declared that it alone would continue to be celebrated after the Messiah comes (Midrash Mishlei 9). All other holidays will not be celebrated in the messianic days. Purim is so-called because the villain of the story, Haman, cast \"\"purim\"\" (which are lots, as in a lottery) to destroy the Jews, yet failed."

"text": "\"24th of Nisan, 5778Gematria in the bible Gematria provides convincing evidence of the Bible's divine authorship - just the first seven words of the Hebrew Bible are all it takes to affirm that God is the Creator. In the Jewish tradition, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are the building blocks of creation, and the Torah is the blueprint. The gematria within the Bible supports this view. Much has been spoken about the richness of the biblical text, but less well known is the numerical patterns to be found within the text. Gematria is a system of applying numerical value to a word or phrase, and applies to both the Hebrew and Greek alphabets. Each letter has a numerical value, and the system is perfectly logical - the first ten letters of the alphabet are assigned numbers one through ten, the numbers then increment by tens to one hundred and then by hundreds. So for the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the gematria values are : The letters of the Hebrew alphabet, with their standard gematria values. For those letters with two entries, the lower characters are used at the end of a word. The values shown are used in what is termed standard gematria. Another method, termed ordinal gematria, assigns a number equal to a letter's place in the alphabet, one through twenty-two."

According to the Book of Esther, in the Hebrew Bible, Haman, royal vizier to King Ahasuerus (presumed to be Xerxes I of Persia ), planned to kill all the Jews in the empire, but his plans were foiled by Mordecai and his adopted daughter Queen Esther. The day of deliverance became a day of feasting and rejoicing. Purim is celebrated by giving mutual gifts of food and drink ( mishloach manot ), giving charity to the poor ( mattanot la-evyonim ), [ 4] a celebratory meal ( se'udat Purim ), and public recitation of the Scroll of Esther ( keriat ha-megillah ), additions to the prayers and the grace after meals ( al hannisim ). [ 5] Other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration. [ 6]Purim is celebrated annually according to the Hebrew calendar on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar (Adar II in leap years), the day following the victory of the Jews over their enemies. In cities that were protected by a surrounding wall at the time of Joshua, Purim is instead celebrated on the 15th of the month on what is known as Shushan Purim.

It was originally based on the BBC 's Steptoe and Son. Known for its edgy racial humor, running gags and catch phrases, the series was adapted by Norman Lear and considered NBC's answer to CBS 's All in the Family. Sanford and Son has been hailed as the precursor to many other African American sitcoms. It was a ratings hit throughout its six-season run. While the role of Fred G. Sanford was known for his bigotry and cantankerousness, the role of Lamont Sanford was that of a conscientious peacemaker. At times, both characters would involve themselves in schemes. Other colorful/unconventional characters on the show included Aunt Esther, Grady Wilson, Bubba Bexley, and Rollo Lawson."

Even in their human form, werewolves possess superhuman physical prowess, though not to the same level as a vampire , and their abilities are not as powerful compared to those they possess on the full moon while transformed. These creatures are the most dangerous enemies of vampires due to their venomous bite, which is lethal to them. Werewolves are also hardwired to kill vampires on sight in their wolf form, though they still hunt human prey whenever there are no vampires to kill.

Furthermore, the werewolf gene must be \"\"triggered\"\" by taking the life of a human, either intentionally or by accident, in order to gain access to their enhanced physical abilities, though this comes at the cost of transforming into a wolf during every full moon. It does not matter if the kill was accidental or intentional, premeditated or out of self-defense-- if a werewolf causes the death of a human in any way, their werewolf gene will be activated."

The book of Esther commands that it be celebrated on the 14th and 15th days of Adar (February or March) and was to be a time of \"\"feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor\"\" (Esther 9:22). This holiday commemorates the victory of the Jewish people over their enemies that tried to slaughter them as a result of the decree by the Persian Prime Minister, Haman, in the book of Esther. Today the Jewish people still celebrate this festival and remember the past anti-Semitic individuals who tried to exterminate them as well as the present ones. Hitler and Purim Adolph Hitler knew about this holiday and its significance in Jewish history. In 1941, Hitler banned the Jewish community in Poland from the observance of Purim. They were forbidden to read the Scroll of Esther and the synagogues were closed on that day (Goodman 1980: 374). On January 30, 1944, Hitler addressed the German people on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the Nazi party coming to power. In this anti-Semitic diatribe, he blamed all the ills of Europe and Germany on \"\"international Jewry\"\" (his words). He went on to predict that if the Russians defeated Germany then \"\"Jewry could then celebrate the destruction of Europe by a second triumphant Purim festival.\"\" ("

In this respect she prefigured the sacrifice of the coming Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, who willingly gave His life so each of us could have the opportunity to receive God’s gift of salvation, eternal life in His Kingdom. The book of Esther is a complement to the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.

The Story, Celebration, and Meaning of Purim Share Flipboard Email Print David Silverman/Getty Images News/Getty Imagesby Ariela Pelaia Updated March 03, 2018One of the most festive and popular of the Jewish holidays, Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jews from imminent doom at the hands of their enemies in ancient Persia as told in the biblical Book of Esther. When Is it Celebrated? Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which usually falls sometime in February or March. The Jewish calendar follows a 19-year cycle. There are seven leap years in each cycle. The leap year contains an extra month: Adar I and Adar II. Purim is celebrated in Adar II and Purim Katan (small Purim) is celebrated in Adar I. Purim is such a popular holiday that the ancient rabbis declared that it alone would continue to be celebrated after the Messiah comes (Midrash Mishlei 9). All other holidays will not be celebrated in the messianic days. Purim is so-called because the villain of the story, Haman, cast \"\"purim\"\" (which are lots, as in a lottery) to destroy the Jews, yet failed."

"text": "The Persian Empire plays a prominent role in a few Old Testament books. The ruler called Ahasuerus ( Strong's Concordance #H325), which many Bible commentaries believe is referring to King Xerxes I of Persia, is mentioned thirty times. Although found only once in the books of Daniel and Ezra, Ahasuerus appears twenty-eight times in the book of Esther. The focus of Esther's book (one of only two named after a woman) revolves around the story of how the Jews in Persia escape total extermination. The main characters are Esther, a young Jewess who marries the Persian king, Haman, the prime minister who convinces the king to exterminate the Jews, and Mordecai, a low-level Jewish official who solicits Esther's help in saving the people. The events in the book and the ultimate saving of the Jewish race, which occurred around 483 B. C., are celebrated every year in the festival known as Purim. Prophecied a World Power The Persians were the second world empire represented in several dreams God gave to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. These dreams so troubled the king that it kept him awake all night. He sought their interpretation amongst his magicians, astrologers and sorcerers - his wise men. There was, however, one catch."

He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method. In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines. After three years of effort and 50 prototypes, [4] he built 20 finished machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines) over the following 10 years, [5] establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator. [ 6] [7]Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo Galilei and Torricelli, in 1647, he rebutted Aristotle 's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted."

"text": "Home › History › Jackie’s Husband & the Onassis Mistress: JFK & Callas (& Marilyn Monroe) Get Together Jackie’s Husband & the Onassis Mistress: JFK & Callas (& Marilyn Monroe) Get Together By carlanthonyonline.com on May 14, 2012 • ( 23 )President Kennedy with Maria Callas. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy, born on May 29, had his birthday turned into a massive Hollywood meets Washington convergence at a May 19 fundraiser held in New York’s Madison Square Garden. President Kennedy at his Madison Square Garden birthday, 1962. The event proved highly successful, paying off the lingering $4 million debt of Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign with Lyndon B. Johnson as Vice President and laid the groundwork for the anticipated 1964 re-election campaign. It even, so joked the President, held the promise of reducing the federal deficit. The draw was an array of Jet Age Pop Culture icons from a diversity of the performing arts including Diahann Carroll, Ella Fitzgerald, Jack Benny, Shirley Mac Laine, Harry Belafonte, Jimmy Durante, Marilyn Monroe , Peggy Lee, Henry Fonda, Jerome Robbins, Robert Merrill, Gwen Verdon, Elaine Maye and Mike Nichols. The biggest catch of all, however, was the one entertainer who lived overseas and flew over to participate. It was someone whose talents First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy very much admired and hoped to have showcased as the entertainment following a state dinner – but who the President got for his 1962 birthday. That person had, by 1962, become world-famous not only for her voice, but for her love affair with Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. An opera singer, her name was Maria Callas."

"text": "[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 's entire second season. ] Everyone in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt ends season two in a very different place than where they started. Throughout the Netflix show’s sophomore season, Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) found herself and her long-lost mother; Titus (Tituss Burgess) fell in love with sweet Mikey (Mike Carlsen) and kick-started his career; Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) discovered how to be a parent and a better person; and Lilian (Carol Kane) realized her neighborhood is worth fighting for. Below, the cast breaks down some of the season two finale’s biggest moments for The Hollywood Reporter, reveals how their characters evolved throughout the year and previews what’s ahead in season three. Kimmy After 15 years apart, Kimmy finally finds her mother, Lori-Anne (Lisa Kudrow), and tries to get answers about her broken childhood and why she got kidnapped. Although the apologies don’t turn out exactly how she hopes, Kemper says it was a great learning moment for Kimmy. “The big takeaway from meeting her mom and confronting her is that this did not play out how she wanted it to play out. She didn't get the answers she wanted, and that's OK because Kimmy did what she had control over,” Kemper reveals. “ I think that is part of the theme of this season, which is that there aren't nice, tidy, easy answers in life. Things are ambiguous and they don't always work out how you want them to work out."

Fawcett is an internationally recognized authority on conceptual models of nursing and nursing theory. She is currently a professor of nursing at the University of Massachusetts Boston. American Academy of Nursing Early in her career, Fawcett was invited to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) honoring her significant contributions to nursing knowledge development. Fawcett articulated the metaparadigm of nursing as comprising four concepts—human beings, environment, health, and nursing— and has published books about nursing conceptual models (paradigms) and theories since 1984. Her first book, Analysis and Evaluation of Conceptual Models of Nursing, has been translated into Finnish, Japanese, and German. Integrating teaching, research, and practice Since joining the faculty of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences in 1999, Fawcett and her team have been conducting multi-site studies of women’s adaptation to motherhood, including one study of women in four states of the United States, Finland, and Australia. These studies are prototypes for the integration of research in nursing, teaching, and practice. Fawcett emphasizes: “My research is a huge collaborative effort that includes my nursing colleagues and students at UMass Boston and others around the globe. ”Fawcett served as a consultant to the Nursing Research Council at Winchester Hospital during their journey toward attaining Magnet Hospital status."

( flickr)Until research in 1997 discovered the fact, there was no public record of the name of Jacqueline Kennedy’s stillborn child in 1956. Several of her siblings at that time disclosed that the child was never baptized, registered with a birth certificate or legally named. Instead, Jacqueline Kennedy would later make reference to this lost first-born with the sentimental name of “Arabella. ”In 1963, when the child’s remains were later transferred from a local Catholic cemetery in Newport, Rhode Island to be placed alongside those of President Kennedy and the infant Patrick Kennedy, the widowed First Lady did not want a gravestone marked with the informal “nickname” which she had given her. It is not even clear that President Kennedy was aware of this “name.” Nor was Jacqueline Kennedy known to ever make a written record of this name; it was simply a reference spoken among those with whom she was closest at the time. She made no known further mention of the name after the initial period of loss. President-elect Kennedy pushing his wife through the hospital lobby following the birth of their son John. ("

"text": "How much do opera stars get paid? Joyce Di Donato might net £40,000 over a six-week period Credit: Simon Jay Price Rupert Christiansen21 July 2015 • 5:15pm B ecause we know about as much for certain about opera singers’ fees as we know about the origins of the Universe, I was fascinated to notice in a corner of the Metropolitan Opera’s website the open admission that for “the 2010-2011 season, the top artist fee was $16,000 per performance. ”It is extremely rare – unprecedented, indeed – for any opera house to come clean on any aspect of a matter which has always been shrouded in a miasma of secretive rumour, with nothing ever confirmed or denied, and negotiations between managements and agents considered super-confidential. There was an attempt made some twenty years ago in Vienna to establish an internationally agreed scale of fees, but this foundered. Broadly speaking, we may surmise that a boom in the 1960s which saw fees rising as high as £50,000 a performance on mainland Europe collapsed in the mid 1990s. The Met’s 2010-11 figure of $16,000 – roughly £10,000 – is also likely to represent the mean currently offered by other top houses such as Covent Garden, the Vienna Staatsoper, La Scala, Opéra Bastille, Munich’s Bayerische Staatsoper etc. One can safely assume that when every operatic organisation is struggling to balance their books, there won’t have been any increase over the last three years, and it should also be emphasised that only a couple of handfuls of big names would be in that £10k bracket: jobbing singers could expect half that. Out of those sums, the singer will have to pay living expenses in a foreign city, 15 or even 20 per cent agent’s commission and tax (sometimes reclaimable, sometimes not). No fee is normally paid for rehearsal time (the Met being an exception here). So if, for example, someone like Joyce Di Donato does six performances away from home, she might net £40,000 over a six-week period (including rehearsals)."

The name was first used by English speakers in the 13th century, although it was only popular in the mid 20th century, promoted by the celebrity status of Jacqueline Kennedy (1929-1994), the wife of President John F.

"text": "12 Signs and Symbols You Should Know By Mark Nichol What is the origin of various symbols used in English, and when is the use of each appropriate? Here’s a guide to twelve common signs, including how they developed and in which contexts they are used or avoided.1. & ( Ampersand)The ampersand was, at least until well into the nineteenth century, treated as the twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet, but its star has fallen, so that now it is used only informally except in registered names of businesses (“Ay, Bee & See Inc.”), which should be written as rendered; a comma preceding it is extraneous. The symbol comes from the cursive formation of the Latin word et (“and”), and the name is a slurring contraction of “and per se and,” which used to terminate schoolroom recitals of the alphabet: The phrase means “and by itself and”; instead of reciting, “. . . W, X, Y, Z, and,” children said, “. . . W, X, Y, Z, and per se and” to clarify that “and” referred to a list item rather than serving as a conjunction for an item that was left unuttered. The symbol is also seen in &c. (“et cetera”), an alternate form of etc. American Psychological Association (APA) style allows the ampersand to link author names in an in-text citation (“Laurel & Hardy, 1921”), but other style guides call for using the word and.2. * ( Asterisk)The asterisk is used to call out a footnote or to refer to an annotation of special terms or conditions, to substitute for letters in profanity (“Oh, s***!”) or a name rendered anonymous (“the subject, M***”), to serve as a low-tech alternative to a typographical bullet, or provide emphasis in place of boldface (“Do *not* go there — the food is awful.”)."

Introduced by Bradley Bell, she is currently portrayed by Jacqueline Mac Innes Wood. Steffy and her twin sister Phoebe ( Mac Kenzie Mauzy) were born onscreen as the daughters of supercouple Ridge Forrester ( Ronn Moss, later Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor Hayes ( Hunter Tylo) during the episode airing on September 21, 1999. For the character's first five-year period, she appeared as a minor. In 2005, Steffy was rapidly aged to a teenager, and in 2008 she appeared as an adult when Wood took over the role. Wood portrayed the role continuously until 2013, when she decided to leave her regular capacity with the series; following a series of guest appearances, Wood returned as a series regular in 2015. Steffy has suffered many losses throughout her life, which according to Wood is the reason for her deep-seated issues and puzzling storylines. Wood has also described the character as a \"\"rich bitch\"\". While characterized as being provocative and strong-willed, Steffy is emotionally starved on the inside due to her father's neglect. The character is known for her relationships with the Spencer men: Bill Spencer, Jr. ( Don Diamont ), Liam Spencer ( Scott Clifton) and Wyatt Spencer ( Darin Brooks) as well as animosities towards the Logan family, particularly her mother's rival Brooke Logan ( Katherine Kelly Lang) and her own arch-rival Hope Logan ( Kimberly Matula, later Annika Noelle), her cousin Ivy Forrester ( Ashleigh Brewer ), her ex-mother in law Quinn Fuller ( Rena Sofer) and her business-rival Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope)."

"text": "\"Goetta: The Cincinnati German-American Breakfast Staple Jacqueline Raposo Profile Twitter Facebook Contact18 Printer-Friendly Version [ Photographs: Jacqueline Raposo]More Breakfast Everything you need to make the most important meal of the day delicious. When I moved to Cincinnati for a yearlong contract of completely unrelated work, I set myself up with a goal to get as much food, booze, and local culture in as possible before heading back to New York. And I think I did a pretty good job—I dragged friends to an underground jazz club, took tours and watched special screenings at the Museum Center, went to the opera and ballet, drank my weight in Kentucky bourbon, pestered everyone I met for their opinion on the public transportation debate, and ate at every restaurant recommended by local friends. All good. But the discovery that's remained closest to my heart was goetta. Pronounced \"\"get-uh\"\", the sausage-type patty is pretty synonymous with Cincinnati, though its roots are steeped in the \"\"Queen City's\"\" German heritage. A bit of nerdy background for you: For a Midwestern city (of sorts), Cincinnati has a culturally diverse history. While founded primarily by those with English and Scottish ancestry in the late eighteenth century, 60% of the population were German-born immigrants by 1850. They established Catholic churches amidst the Protestant \"\"natives,\"\" as well as schools and social centers, since they were not given allowance to clubs and many publicly-funded work projects already established. But despite strife, German culture infused the city and remains ripe today."

It's mostly a foul-mouthed, politically correct, humanist story that suggests cultural differences rather than religious ones were the root cause of the war which divided that city. Review: Don’t expect much sociopolitical insight from the Lebanese movie WEST BEIRUT about a teenage boy and his family who go through the war between Christians and Muslims in Beirut during the 1970s and 1980s. The movie is mostly an apolitical coming-of-age story of the teenager as he tries to cope with the cultural warfare and social bedlam around him. Rami Doueiri plays Tarek, a nominally Muslim teenager who gets in trouble at the French school he attends. His first encounter with the cultural conflict around him is when a group of Christian militiamen attack a busload of Muslims. As more fighting breaks out, and Beirut is divided into a Western Muslim section and an Eastern Christian section, Tarek and his chum Omar are more interested in peeping at their uncle’s mistress rather than supporting their Muslim brothers. Tarek and Omar undergo a series of adventures as the war drags on. Tarek even befriends a Christian girl named May. May has been orphaned by the war and has come to live in the Muslim section. She seems more religious than both Tarek and Omar."

"text": "\"The Secret Key to the Dome of the Rock By Ernest L. Martin, PH. D., October 1999Listen to the Byte Show Interview on this article: The Secret Key to the Dome of the Rock - Listen • Download • MP3More Byte Show Interviews... There is a key message found within two inscriptions in Arabic inscribed on the first cornice supported by large columns that encircles the interior region of the Dome of the Rock. One inscription is found on the outside area of the cornice and the other on the inside area. Both writings provide the real secret to the meaning of the significance behind the Dome of the Rock. Once that secret is known, a whole new understanding of early Islam in its relation to Christianity comes on the scene that greatly enhances our comprehension of the theological history of the period. It reveals religious attitudes that existed between early Muslims, Jews and Christians. There is a linguistic key that has great relevance in knowing why the Dome of the Rock was constructed and it provides the true meaning for its existence. Once this is realized, it will help divert Muslim attention away from their present attitude of reverent holiness toward the Dome and it will redirect their attention to the Al Aqsa Mosque located to the south, and it will further emphasize the importance of Mecca in the eyes of all Muslims. This new information will also aid Christians to know that the Dome of the Rock was actually built by Abd al-Malik in 692 A. D. as a rebuilt Christian Church that once stood in its place. The Rock that sanctified the shrine was first an important Christian holy place and NOT an early Jewish sacred spot (nor was it the site of the former Temples)."

Hijra: Migration of the Prophet from Makkah to Madina1 Muharram, 1425 (Feb 21, 2004)Hijra (Migration From Plot)http://www.islamic-city.com/islam/hijra.htm The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be on him), not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind. This plot was defeated by the Prophet's migration from Mecca to Medina. So as not to leave the plot unknown, Ali Ibn Abu Talib the fourth Caliph or the first Imam, remained in the bed of our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be on him) in Mecca, to witness that when the truth is conveyed, a plot will be made to counteract against it. It was understood by the leaders of the non-believers, Quraysh, that the message of Islam was and is spreading and that those who have accepted the revelation and the prophecy of the prophet were so strong that no enemy could destroy them. Such a one was Bilal who was tortured and beaten so much that his breath stopped but when he took his first breath again his breathing was combined with the word \"\"Ahad\"\" (One God). The 'one' that is not after zero and the one that is not going to be two. The belief in the uniqueness of the creator sank into the souls of the companions of the prophet and their life became combined with the understanding of their faith- their life and faith were integrated - neither one was neglected for the benefit of the other."

The stack data structure follows the \"\"First In Last Out\"\" policy (FILO) where ther first element inserted or \"\"pushed\"\" into a stack is the last element that is removed or \"\"popped\"\" from the stack. Similarly, a queue data structure follows a \"\"First In First Out\"\" policy (as in the case of a normal queue when we stand in line at the counter), where the first element is pushed into the queue or \"\"Enqueued\"\" and the same element when it has to be removed from the queue is \"\"Dequeued\"\".. This is quite similar to push and pop in a stack but the terms enqueue and dequeue avoid confusion as to whether the data structure in use is a stack or a queue. Class coders has a simple program to demonstrate the enqueue and dequeue process. you could check it out for reference.http://classcoders.blogspot.in/2012/01/enque-and-deque-in-c.htmlshare improve this answeranswered May 8 '13 at 5:53Flipsyde281 1 3 6Thank you very much, now I can understand better – Omar May 8 '13 at 23:10I used to interpret enqueue as insert in the end of the queue, dequeue to remove from the queue and not using the element at all, and unqueue to remove the element from the head to use it.

"text": "Tweet How to Determine Who Owns a Domain Name Naeem Mobashar December 28, 2010 | Updated: December 9, 2015 27The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the organization that authorizes registrars to issue or assign domain names to public. A registrant is the person or entity who is considered to be the domain name owner authorized to make or request for changes to be made in vital information related to domain name. It is, therefore, critically important to know the “owner” registrant of a domain name and also the person or entity having administrative, billing and technical rights related to domain. Why is Determining a Domain Name Registrant Important? Determining a domain name registrant is important for many reasons: The lookup can verify that the registrant details of your personal domains are properly entered. If they are not, you may miss renewal notices, purchase offers, partnership requests and the like. If you are interested in making an offer on an already registered domain name, you can easily lookup contact information, such as the owner’s name, mailing address, email address and telephone number. If you are tying to protect your personal information, a lookup can tell you if the privacy controls you’ve put in place are actually in effect. What is the Process to Lookup Domain Name Details? The domain name registration process has been engineered in a very transparent way."

It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. I read some description years ago (can't remember where) that said Heaven has 7 levels, and each level has a corresponding color. When each level blends into the other, the color is so bright, it looks like it's raining that color onto the level below. Purple is supposedly the corresponding color of the seventh and highest level, where God sits. So if your soul reaches the 6th level (the highest a human can go) then you will be \"\"laughing/bathing\"\" in purple rain. ' Purple Rain' is a continuation to the judgement day theme from '1999': \"\"when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day. The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere. Tryin' 2 run from the destruction...\"\" The sky in '1999' is purple becuz of the bombs, and the bombing is what makes the rain purple afterwards, the rain is 'cleaning' all the pain and suffering the bombing caused... 'I only want 2 see U in the purple rain' means something like 'I wanna see U in a world after the war/ judgement day'... BASICALLY, PRINCE WANTS TO BE WITH THIS GIRL FOREVER."

"text": "\"Purple Rain (1984)User Reviews Review this title108 Reviews Hide Spoilers Sort by: Eau-de-Eighties!Christopher T. Chase 18 December 2000It's no use. Arguments about the potato-chip thin script, the haphazard direction and some of the most laughable non-acting ever photographed for a film, will prove ineffectual. Such conditions have existed in the realm of film vehicles for music stars since the genre began, (with some mind-boggling examples of the worst of the lot offered by every star from Elvis, to Frankie Avalon, to Vanilla Ice.) What you watch these movies for is not the deep plots, solid writing or impeccable direction. It's for those moments of electricity that leap off the screen, strike you right in the butt and have you dancing in your theater seat, as the magic of a performer at his or her peak, in their heyday, turns a few minutes of film into a literal celebration of life. Such is the case with PURPLE RAIN, the one film that, as far as I'm concerned, effectively captured the raw essence of the good ol' \"\"ME\"\" Decade. In a thinly-disguised version of the events that shaped his career and his life, The Purple One starred as a brilliant songwriter and musician simply known in Minnesota music circles as \"\"The Kid.\"\" There are three distinct storylines, all of which have been around since Mickey and Judy put on shows for the neighborhood. One documents the intensive rivalry existing between Prince's band and the Time, fronted by the charismatic poseur and self-described \"\"Lay-deez Man\"\" Morris Day, (who in a satirical and self-effacing performance, manages to effectively steal every scene he is in.) The battle is waged nightly at Minneapolis' legendary First Avenue Club, (where Prince really did get his start with other leading lights like Andre Cymone, Jesse Johnson and Morris)."

"text": "\"Bilal on His Prince Tribute at 2016 BET Awards: 'I Decided I Was Gonna Go All Out'6/27/2016by Dan Rys FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBEThe Philly soul singer says he wasn't originally supposed to perform \"\"The Beautiful Ones\"\" at all. There were plenty of highlights from the Prince tribute at last night's BET Awards, which stretched throughout the show. But Sheila E. 's show-stopping closing medley aside, Bilal 's arresting, emotional rendition of \"\"The Beautiful Ones\"\" -- which resulted in the Philly-based singer writhing on the stage like a love-torn Prince once did while performing the same song in the film Purple Rain -- may have been the pinnacle performance. BET Awards Pay Tribute to Prince With The Roots, Stevie Wonder, Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Sheila E. & More It's also one that nearly didn't happen. As Bilal tells it, he wasn't supposed to sing \"\"The Beautiful Ones\"\" at all. \"\" Actually, I was supposed to do a whole other song until the day before the performance, when they changed it to 'The Beautiful Ones,'\"\" he tells Billboard, understandably groggy, minutes before stepping on a morning flight from Los Angeles to New York City. \"\" I was supposed to do 'Do Me, Baby' [from 1981's Controversy ]; I don't know [what happened]. But 'The Beautiful Ones' is my favorite song by Prince. \"\" With just a day to prepare, that familiarity was needed, particularly as Prince's iconic performance of the song in Purple Rain is arguably the emotional turning point of the film, with the slow-building climax leaving Prince flat on his back, energy spent, as Apollonia leaves the club in tears. As the Roots' guitarist Captain Kirk Douglas electrified the band with a pulsing guitar solo, Bilal channeled that Prince performance, crawling across the stage while letting his falsetto fill the room, rolling around on his back and, ultimately, recalling that famous scene by lying on his back as the song came to an end. It was sensational, to say the least. \"\""

Although the popularizers of the terms might still be alive, they have not spoken out on the meaning of their words.

"text": "\"Quora User, Wide & Surround Spectrum Answered Dec 29, 2015 · Author has 1k answers and 745.5k answer views It's a feel-good gospel-like, disco upbeat song. For me, the phrase \"\"it's raining men\"\" means that there is an abundance of [counterparts] about, enough for all, so shake off the blues because you don't need to go very far to find what you're looking for. Amen!And perhaps something like there's no need for women to fight over another's partner, as is implied in \"\"Mother Nature [...] taught every angel to rearrange the sky so that each and every woman could find her perfect guy. \"\" Moreover, everything is as it should be; the rain too serves a purpose however unpleasant it may be to get caught in it. People often have a negative attitude towards rainy weather, and so they're insisting keep a positive attitude despite bad times (\"\"stormy weather\"\") and even if you have a roof over your head, \"\"rip it off\"\" because there's no hope of finding the [right] partner for you if you stay in cosy circumstances. If you stay at home, in the dry, you might just miss the chance of finding the [man / woman] of your dreams [outside in the real world]. It reminds me of Yoko Ono's song, \"\"Every Man has a Woman Who Loves Her\"\" in which she says \"\"in rain or shine, or life and death.\"\" But also, \"\"why do I roam when I know you're the one?\"\" In this case she feels she has found the man of her dreams and needn't look elsewhere. That particular song was done in a catchy reggae-ska riddim, which she recently remixed into a dreamy, mystical air. Finally, James Williams seems to imply that a song with potential will have had to be released under a separate group \"\"the Weather Girls\"\" before it could enjoy the success it deserved. ("

According to TMZ, there is evidence Prince’s death was not unexpected, because TMZ has learned the superstar started writing his memoirs just a month ago. Sources connected with Prince tell TMZ, they were surprised he started the project — something he had been mulling over for years but not acting upon. TMZ was told Prince had finished around 50 pages at the time of his death. TMZ is reporting that Prince hit up a local pharmacy hours before he died — the fourth time he visited the pharmacy this week. TMZ obtained this photo of Prince leaving a Walgreens pharmacy near his home in Minnesota on Wednesday night, April 20th: Prince leaving a pharmacy in Minnesota on April 20th (PHOTO: TMZ)Sources tell TMZ people at the Walgreens store were concerned because he looked much more frail and nervous than usual. What’s more — according to TMZ, on Saturday night, April 16th, after Prince was admitted to a hospital for what his reps called the flu, he addressed a crowd at Paisley Park near his home and said: “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers. ”Which of the following is your favorite Prince song?

"text": "Bobby Z shares his Purple Rain memories on the album’s 30th anniversaryby Andrea Swensson · June 25, 2014 Purple Rain Feature 8Bobby Z in 2012 and with Prince and the Revolution (third from left) in 1984Sponsor Sponsor It was 30 years ago today that Prince and his band the Revolution released Purple Rain, still the best-selling album to come out of Minnesota. The record came out just over a month before the film of the same name would hit theaters, and the singles “When Doves Cry and “Let’s Go Crazy” quickly climbed to the top of the charts. Few would argue that the album not only propelled Prince to his highest level of fame but also attracted attention to his hometown of Minneapolis, so much so that the style of music played on Purple Rain became one of the most clear-cut examples of his famed “Minneapolis Sound.” But what exactly was it about the nine tracks on Purple Rain that made the album so iconic?“I think he was really ahead of what the ‘80s were about to become,” says Revolution drummer Bobby Rivkin, who is known on stage as Bobby Z. Rivkin was responsible for performing some of the most compelling and forward-thinking rhythms of Prince’s early compositions, and he’s helped to carry the Minneapolis Sound torch forward with his now-annual Benefit 2 Celebrate Life fundraising concert that takes over First Avenue this Saturday. “The Minneapolis Sound is very simply Prince,” Rivkin says. “ And the discovery he made of synthesizers doing horn parts—taking synthesizers and giving those horn stabs like what James Brown used to do with horns. When you think of the ‘80s, the horn stabs and the punches were done on these Oberheims and all these cool new synthesizers. Everybody else started imitating it. And that’s what we know now as the Minneapolis Sound: Prince in the studio by himself with drum machines and synthesizers. ”With Purple Rain celebrating a big anniversary this week—and with Prince’s co-star in the Purple Rain movie, Apollonia, coming to town to perform at the show this weekend —Rivkin has had a lot of opportunities to reflect back on those early days and the distinctive sound that ended up defining an entire era of the Twin Cities scene."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Entertainment & Arts Music Music Genres What does prince mean by purple banana? Flag What does prince mean by purple banana? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Prince apparently looks at purple as more than a color or symbol of royalty, but as a sign of divinity and salvation: i.e purpose. In this fashion, the \"\"purple banana\"\" in combination with all the other lyrics of the song is his metaphorical quest for a higher purpose in life. The song seems to focus on life's imperfection as an absolute, and how he will not let that deter his quest for verve and optimism. If Prince (or individuals in his audience) were to go crazy looking for life's meaning, it is an acceptable and dignified end to be taken away to a mental institution. The only other option is being defeated by a cynical complacency. This song is a call to action by a spiritual leader to awaken his faithful.

Remember that they take the length of the body without the compression of the spine from gravity after a few days. As to the comment last year about being short may have been the indirect cause of his death... well, it is on record that he was urged to have hip replacement surgery but refused due to his religion - he was a Jehovah's Witness, they do not allow blood transfusions. He'd been suffering for some years. Linda said on 26/Nov/17 His waist was only 24” and he was a US size zero the tour guide told us but she said his height rumoured between 4.10 and 5.3, it was to be kept part of the mystery..

Kevin Mazur/Wire Image for NPG Records 2013By Gavin Edwards December 31, 2014Dig if you will the picture: 2014 marked the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain, and the glorious summer when Prince simultaneously had the Number One single, album and movie in the USA. Alan Light (author of The Holy or the Broken, and a Rolling Stone veteran) celebrated the occasion with the new book Let's Go Crazy: Prince and the Making of Purple Rain. While Let's Go Crazy won't fundamentally change how you feel about the Purple Rain album (spoiler alert: it's a masterpiece), the book is a tasty smorgasbord for Prince fans. Light didn't just dive into his clip file, he blended a history of his own super-fandom with new interviews with just about everyone who worked on the Purple Rain project (excepting Prince himself), including manager Bob Cavallo and multiple members of the Revolution, especially Wendy (Melvoin) and Lisa (Coleman). Ten slices of the purple banana: Related PHOTOS: 100 Best Singles of 1984: Pop's Greatest Year Let's go crazy: The standout songs from radio's 'Thriller' season1. Baby I'm a Star You may have heard that Prince wrote \"\"Purple Rain\"\" because the 1999 tour played many of the same arenas as Bob Seger, and he wanted to write a huge ballad in the mode of \"\"We've Got Tonight\"\" or \"\"Turn the Page.\"\" But you might not know that Prince was sufficiently aware of the song's melodic resemblance to Journey's \"\"Faithfully\"\" that he played it over the phone for the band's keyboardist, Jonathan Cain (who wrote the Journey hit), to make sure he wouldn't object. And after Prince played keyboards on the Stevie Nicks single \"\"Stand Back,\"\" he sent her a cassette of the work-in-progress \"\"Purple Rain\"\" — at a point when it didn't even have a title — asking her to write some lyrics. She called him up and declined, later explaining, \"\"It was just so overwhelming, that 10-minute track, that I listened to it and I just got scared."

"text": "In 1987, when Prince was nicknamed His Purple Badness and endlessly celebrated for a song, movie and album called “Purple Rain,” he made a simple decision: His new colors would be peach and black. That’s it. No sentimentality. No continuing subtly down the color spectrum. No more purple. Now he was all about two colors that hardly anyone ever wore together. He put them in his song “U Got the Look” to make sure everyone knew of the change: Color you peach and black/color me taken aback. That was pure Prince. He wasn’t going to be limited to a color, or expectations, or even a name. Within a few years he would change his royal moniker, odd as it already was, into a symbol."

Thirty years ago Sunday, Prince’s big-screen debut was released into theaters, telling the semi-autobiographical story of “the Kid” — a talented Minneapolis musician trying to make it to the big time while dealing with family troubles and his own insecurities. In fairness, Prince was never a threat to De Niro in terms of acting ability. But the music sequences were, and still are, mind-blowing — and led the film to earn nearly $70 million at the box office (almost 10 times what it cost). The soundtrack album was No. 1 on the Billboard album chart for a remarkable 24 consecutive weeks, from the summer of 1984 into early 1985. Additionally, it spawned two No. 1 hit singles with “When Doves Cry” and “Let’s Go Crazy.” At one point, Prince had the No. 1 single, No."

In the film, the song represents Prince's angst at the budding relationship between the characters played by Morris Day and Apollonia. The song was composed by Prince, with credit to his father, John L. Nelson for the guitar solo based on a piano instrumental written by Nelson and Prince. Prince titled the piece \"\"Father's Song\"\" and recorded it on piano for the film, though on screen it was portrayed as being played by Prince's on-screen father, actor Clarence Williams III. On the box-set Purple Rain Deluxe (2017) a different and longer recording of \"\"Father's Song\"\" is included. \"\" Computer Blue\"\" was originally recorded at The Warehouse in Minneapolis with The Revolution in the same session that produced \"\" Let's Go Crazy \"\" and later at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles in August 1983, Prince, along with Wendy & Lisa and sound engineer Susan Rogers, set about doing further work on what would later end up being placed on the album Purple Rain, albeit in a very heavily edited form. The song begins with spoken lyrics by Wendy & Lisa which suggest a dominatrix -type relationship. [ 1] The song then becomes a very guitar-oriented number with rock music screams. The released version only has one verse. The version of the song that debuted at the First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis, Minnesota had a second verse, as did the song as it was originally recorded."

Paisley Park• 1985 8.8by Alan Light Contributor Pop/R&BRock April 29 2016After he conquered the world with Purple Rain, Prince made a hard left turn into bright and sweet psychedelia. But the album had more going on beneath the surface. Prince had been to the mountaintop, and he didn’t like what he saw. He had spent a full year fine-tuning his sound, his band, his look, and his story for Purple Rain, with the explicit goal of conquering the world. And it had worked perfectly—repositioning himself as a badass guitar hero and fronting a band which included multiple genders and races had opened up new audiences for him, and made him the biggest rock star in the universe. But as soon as he reached that peak, that rarefied altitude so few artists get to see, Prince realized what being a superstar required. He knew that to meet the demand for his music, to feed the beast of the celebrity he had attained, he would be expected to keep pushing Purple Rain for all it was worth—to tour the U. S., then go to Europe, maybe to Australia, then back for a bigger U. S. victory lap. But Prince was too restless for that. And so he did the only thing he always knew how to do: He made more music, which sounded different from anything he had done or anything his new fans might have expected. Around the World in a Day was completed on Christmas Eve of 1984 and released in April 1985, just two weeks after the final date on the Purple Rain tour—which Prince cut short abruptly, after just six months."

Many of these patients also took drugs expected to increase cisapride blood levels by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes that metabolize cisapride. These drugs include clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin, nefazodone, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, indinavir, and ritonavir. Some of these events have been fatal. Cisapride is contraindicated in patients taking any of these drugs.

"text": "\"A lethal dose of caffeine is thought to be roughly 10 grams — about the mass of your standard #2 pencil. That converts to a whopping (but basically undrinkable) 4.69 gallons of coffee, or 120 standard cans of Red Bull. Still, 2012 saw several deaths linked to energy drinks in the United States — five were attributed to Monster Energy drinks and thirteen to 5-hour Energy shots. These came on top of a massive spike in energy-drink associated ER visits. Caffeine's harmful or unwanted effects can be triggered at much lower doses than what is considered \"\"toxic.\"\" So how much caffeine is too much? The answer, as chemist Lauren K. Wolf explains in the latest issue of Chemical & Engineering News, is pretty much impossible to nail down: Caffeine gets cleared from the body at different rates because of genetic variations, gender, and even whether a person is a smoker. For this reason, it's difficult to set a safe limit of daily consumption on the compound. Physiological differences, as well as differences in the way people consume caffeine, have tied FDA in knots as it has debated how to regulate the substance. Adding to the confusion is the fact that caffeine is one of those substances that science ( and the media) loves to waffle over."

"text": "7 Questions About Dogs and Chocolate December 16, 2007 By Clare Bristow 38 Comments You’ve probably heard that chocolate can kill your dog – but do you know why chocolate is poisonous, which types of chocolate are more harmful than others, the symptoms of chocolate poisoning and the one thing that’s more lethal than chocolate? The following seven questions tell you all you need to know about chocolate and your dog. Why is chocolate poisonous? The cocoa tree contains two naturally occurring substances – theobromine and caffeine – both of which are toxic to dogs. Cocoa beans conatin theobromine a higher concentration than caffeine. Dogs metabolise theobromine very slowly – it can stay in your dog’s bloodstream for up to 20 hours. During that time it interferes with the body’s functioning mainly stimulating the central nervous system and affecting the heart and kidneys. What is the toxic level of theobromine? The lethal dose for theobromine is between 100mg to 200mg per kg of bodyweight ; the lethal dose for caffeine is the same. However, severe symptoms of theobromine poisoning may be evident at much lower doses ."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( May 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The therapeutic index ( TI; also referred to as therapeutic ratio) is a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity. [ 1] The related terms therapeutic window or safety window refer to a range of doses which optimize between efficacy and toxicity, achieving the greatest therapeutic benefit without resulting in unacceptable side-effects or toxicity. Classically, in an established clinical indication setting of an approved drug, TI refers to the ratio of the dose of drug that causes adverse effects at an incidence/severity not compatible with the targeted indication (e.g. toxic dose in 50% of subjects, TD50) to the dose that leads to the desired pharmacological effect (e.g. efficacious dose in 50% of subjects, ED50). In contrast, in a drug development setting TI is calculated based on plasma exposure levels. [ 2]In the early days of pharmaceutical toxicology, TI was frequently determined in animals as lethal dose of a drug for 50% of the population ( LD 50) divided by the minimum effective dose for 50% of the population ( ED 50 ). Today, more sophisticated toxicity endpoints are used.in animal studies, or for humans,For many drugs, there are severe toxicities that occur at sublethal doses in humans, and these toxicities often limit the maximum dose of a drug. A higher therapeutic index is preferable to a lower one: a patient would have to take a much higher dose of such a drug to reach the toxic threshold than the dose taken to elicit the therapeutic effect."

With this in mind, I ask one very important question: Are you killing your pet with everyday people food? Historically, how and what we feed our dogs has evolved drastically. In the past, we were certain that our canines required a lot of meat to live a long, healthy life. Because of this, they have been fed a high-protein diet that has resulted in poor coat condition, malnutrition, imbalance in metabolism, hair loss, and weakness. Today, we know that dogs are actually omnivores, requiring meat as well as vegetables and other non-meat foods for successful long healthy lives. ( Although our other favorite furry creature, the house cat, is a true carnivore. Cats have the highest requirement for protein of any domestic species. ) Dog Snacks What would you most likely give to your dog?

"text": "\"Caffeine , sometimes called theine when found in tea, is a xanthine alkaloid found in the leaves and beans of the coffee tree, in tea , yerba mate, guarana berries, and in small quantities in cocoa , the kola nut and the Yaupon holly. In plants, caffeine acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills many insects feeding upon them. Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, having the effect of warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Caffeine-containing beverages, such as coffee and tea, enjoy great popularity, making caffeine the world's most popular psychoactive substance. Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactivesubstance in the world - see coffee Sources of caffeine Caffeine is a plant alkaloid, found in numerous plant varieties. The most commonly used of which are coffee, tea, and to some extent cocoa. Other, less commonly used, sources of caffeine include the plants yerba mate and guaraná, which are sometimes used in the preparation of teas and, more recently, energy drinks. Two of caffeine's alternative names, mateine and guaranine, are derived from the names of these plants. The world's primary source of caffeine is the bean of the coffee plant, from which coffee is brewed. Caffeine content in coffee varies widely depending on the variety of coffee bean and the method of preparation used, but in general one serving of coffee ranges from about 40 mg for a single shot of espresso to about 100 mg for strong drip coffee."

"text": "By New Scientist Alcohol What is it? Ethanol produced by the action of yeast on sugars. What does it do? Ethanol is a biphasic drug: low doses have a different effect to high doses. Small amounts of alcohol (one or two drinks) act as a stimulant, reducing inhibition and producing feelings of mild euphoria. Higher doses depress the central nervous system, initially producing relaxation but then leading to drunkenness – characterised by poor coordination, memory loss, cognitive impairment and blurred vision. Very high doses cause vomiting, coma and death through respiratory failure. The fatal dose varies but is somewhere around 500 milligrams of ethanol per 100 millilitres of blood. How does it work? At low doses (5 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood), alcohol sensitises NMDA receptors in the brain, making them more responsive to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, so boosting brain activity."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I don't if an exact \"\"lethal\"\" dose has been established. Generally speaking, caffeine is not considered a \"\"lethal\"\" drug. That's NOT to say that in large doses it can't lead to a lethal state or condition, however. Recent studies have confirmed that a certain percentage of the population is particularly sensitive to caffeine (they are not able to break it down as quickly as the general population, possibly due to less of an enzyme). I fall into this category. I cannot drink coffee and must limit all sources of caffeine or I will get headaches, tachycardia (abnormally fast heartrate), severe hypertension (high blood pressure), nausea, among other symptoms. My husband is the same way as well. All of that said, if someone is very sensitive to caffeine, has consumed a very large amount, or has an underlying medical condition such as cardiac arrhythmia or heart disease, hyperthyroidism or hypertension, caffeine in theory could very well lead to a dangerous condition in one of these people."

[ 10] It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. There are several known mechanisms of action to explain the effects of caffeine. The most prominent is that it reversibly blocks the action of adenosine on its receptor and consequently prevents the onset of drowsiness induced by adenosine. Caffeine also stimulates certain portions of the autonomic nervous system. Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline purine, a methylxanthine alkaloid, and is chemically related to the adenine and guanine bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). It is found in the seeds, nuts, or leaves of a number of plants native to South America and East Asia and helps to protect them against predator insects and to prevent germination of nearby seeds."

"text": "\"NATURAL RESOURCES CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSIONPesticides: Health Effects in Drinking Waterby Nancy M. Trautmann and Keith S. Porter Center for Environmental Research and Robert J. Wagenet Dept. of Agronomy Cornell University Traditionally, groundwater has been assumed to be a relatively pristine source of water, cleaner and better protected than surface water supplies. Although nitrate and bacterial contamination were known to occur in some locations, groundwater was thought to be immune from more serious forms of pollution such as industrial discharges, hazardous waste dumps, or leaching of pesticides from agricultural operations. Within the past decade, however, a variety of synthetic organic compounds have been discovered in the nation's groundwater, often at concentrations far exceeding those in surface water supplies. Synthetic organic compounds are chemicals synthesized from carbon and other elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen, or chlorine. They do not occur naturally, but are manufactured to meet hundreds of needs in our daily lives, ranging from moth balls to hair sprays, from solvents to pesticides. Why have they only recently been discovered in groundwater? One reason is that use of synthetic organic compounds has greatly increased within the past 40 years, and some of these gradually have made their way into groundwater. Another reason for the recent discoveries of organic contaminants in groundwater is that the laboratory capability to detect these chemicals has greatly improved within the past decade. A classic example of this occurred in Bedford, Massachusetts, where severe organic chemical contamination of the town groundwater supply was discovered in 1978 only because a resident engineer took a sample of his home tap water with him to work where he was developing and testing a new laboratory instrument for analyzing organic chemicals."

Synopsis of Cellular Respiration Stages of Cellular Respiration in more Detail What Cellular Respiration is Cellular Respiration is the process where living organisms gathers the energy in food molecules to make energy. Heterotrophs, organisms that must get energy from food indirectly from sunlight or inorganic substances, go through the process of cellular respiration to get the energy needed. This energy comes from food. Heterotrophs, including humans and other animals, undergo Cellular Respiration, where the energy contained in food is released to make ATP , which provides cells with the energy needed to carry out the processes of life. Cellular Respiration takes place in a living body of a heterotroph. In cellular respiration, there are anaerobic and aerobic processes. An anaerobic process is a process that uses metabolism without air, while an aerobic process is a process that uses metabolism with air. Synopsis of Cellular Respiration In Cellular Respiration, energy in organic compounds, including glucose, is harnessed.

Anaerobic Respiration 2. Aerobic Respiration All living organisms require energy to carry out life processes. This energy comes from food. However, processes carried out in cells cannot use the energy locked in stored food, fats, etc., directly. ADVERTISEMENTS: Cellular processes get usable energy from a process called respiration. Respiration commonly involves the use of oxygen to break down carbohydrates and other organic molecules, giving usable energy, carbon dioxide and water in the process. All organisms breathe—a process in which they take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. This is called external respiration."

More broadly, fermentation is the foaming that occurs during the manufacture of wine and beer, a process at least 10,000 years old. The frothing results from the evolution of carbon dioxide gas, though this was not recognized until the 17th century. French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur in the 19th century used the term fermentation in a narrow sense to describe the changes brought about by yeasts and other microorganisms growing in the absence of air (anaerobically); he also recognized that ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide are not the only products of fermentation.corn ethanol; biofuel At this plant in South Dakota, starch from corn is processed via fermentation for the production of corn ethanol (ethyl alcohol), a type of liquid biofuel. © Jim Parkin/Shutterstock.com Read More on This Topicbacteria: Heterotrophic metabolism…cell via two different processes, fermentation and respiration.

An important generalization thus emerged: that fermentation reactions are not peculiar to the action of yeast but also occur in many other instances of glucose utilization. Glycolysis, the breakdown of sugar, was originally defined about 1930 as the metabolism of sugar into lactate. It can be further defined as that form of fermentation, characteristic of cells in general, in which the six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid, pyruvic acid (the nonionized form of pyruvate), coupled with the transfer of chemical energy to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)."

In aerobic respiration, oxygen serves as the recipient of electrons from the electron transport chain. Aerobic respiration is thus very efficient because oxygen is a strong oxidant. Aerobic respiration proceeds in a series of steps, which also increases efficiency - since glucose is broken down gradually and ATP is produced as needed, less energy is wasted as heat. This strategy results in the waste products H 2 O and CO 2 being formed in different amounts at different phases of respiration. CO 2 is formed in Pyruvate decarboxylation, H 2 O is formed in oxidative phosphorylation, and both are formed in the citric acid cycle. ["

Most, although not all, of the biochemical processes of bacteria also occur in eukaryotic microbes and in the cells of multicellular organisms, including humans. However, the reactions that are unique to bacteria are fascinating because they allow microorganisms to do things we cannot do. For example, some bacteria can live on cellulose, whereas others can live on petroleum. Through their metabolism, bacteria recycle elements after other organisms have used them. Still other bacteria can live on diets of such inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, iron, sulfur, hydrogen gas, and ammonia.

Here, we will explore how this process works, its definition, and its chemical equation. What Is Alcohol Fermentation? Bread, beer, and Bordeaux: most of us love some or all of these! But they would not exist if not for yeast, a eukaryotic microorganism that can metabolize sugars anaerobically through a pathway called alcohol fermentation. Humans have been using yeasts to make these products for thousands of years, but only learned of their existence in the last two hundred years. How exactly do these tiny creatures make these delicious food and drink items? Alcohol fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway carried out by yeasts in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts typically function under aerobic conditions, or in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When no oxygen is readily available, alcohol fermentation occurs in the cytosol of yeast cells."

I assume you are asking about oxidative respiration, which is slower than fermentation. I spent an hour looking for a ballpark figure. The best I came up with was about 10 mmol/minute/kg human muscle. Based on that amount, I did the following calculation and ended up with 70 atp molecules per mitochondria per millisecond, or about 14 microseconds per ATP produced by a single mitochondria. However, I don't know how many simultaneous pathways exist in a single mitochondria, so the speed of individual reactions is not addressed in my answer.

"text": "\"Anaerobic glycolysis is a metabolic process in which glucose, a sugar molecule, is broken down without the use of oxygen. Like aerobic glycolysis, which metabolizes glucose in the presence of oxygen, it produces energy for the cells. Breaking down glucose without using oxygen also produces lactate, however, and when the process is prolonged, it generally leads to lactic acidosis, which is a decrease in the p H level of the blood. It is usually alleviated when normal oxygen levels return to the cell and aerobic glycolysis takes over. Typically, anaerobic glycolysis occurs in muscle cells during vigorous physical activity. When the energy requirement for a particular action is not adequately met by aerobic means, the muscle cells process glucose without the use of oxygen in order to produce energy quickly. Eventually, the surrounding tissue is flooded with lactate, and the muscle activity generally decreases. As the lactate concentration increases in the blood, it is slowly converted back to glucose in the liver with the aid of oxygen. The conversion of glucose to lactate and lactate back to glucose is called the Cori Cycle, which was described by Carl and Gerty Cori in the 1930s and 1940s. Ad Certain cells and tissues convert glucose to lactate even in the presence of oxygen, including red blood cells and cells of the retina."

Respiration is a process of release of energy by the breakdown of energy molecules obtained from food. This process is carried out by all sorts of living creatures, in order to produce the energy required for carrying out various metabolic activities like growth, repair, and locomotion. Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are carried out at the cellular level. Let's take a look at how these two processes take place, and what are the differences between them.

"text": "\"RESPIRATIONCONCEPTRespiration is much more than just breathing; in fact, the term refers to two separate processes, only one of which is the intake and outflow of breath. At least cellular respiration, the process by which organisms convert food into chemical energy, requires oxygen; on the other hand, some forms of respiration are anaerobic, meaning that they require no oxygen. Such is the case, for instance, with some bacteria, such as those that convert ethyl alcohol to vinegar. Likewise, an anaerobic process can take place in human muscle tissue, producing lactic acid—something so painful that it feels as though vinegar itself were being poured on an open sore. HOW IT WORKSF ORMS OF R ESPIRATIONRespiration can be defined as the process by which an organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, one in which the circulating medium of the organism (e.g., the blood) comes into contact with air or dissolved gases. Either way, this means more or less the same thing as breathing. In some cases, this meaning of the term is extended to the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and, eventually, into cells or the release of carbon dioxide from cells into the bloodstream and thence to the lungs, from whence it is expelled to the environment. Sometimes a distinction is made between external respiration, or an exchange of gases with the external environment, and internal respiration, an exchange of gases between the body's cells and the blood, in which the blood itself \"\"bathes\"\" the cells with oxygen and receives carbon dioxide to transfer to the environment. This is just one meaning—albeit a more familiar one—of the word respiration. Respiration also can mean cellular respiration, a series of chemical reactions within cells whereby food is \"\"burned\"\" in the presence of oxygen and converted into carbon dioxide and water."

This constant cultural interaction has given these areas many cultural affinities, so Israel has many more cultural similarities with Greece and Egypt, which are on the European and African continents, respectively, than it does with countries in East or South Asia.

A peninsula ( Latin: paeninsula from paene \"\"almost\"\" and insula \"\"island\"\") is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] The surrounding water is usually understood to be continuous, though not necessarily named as such. A peninsula can also be a headland, cape, island promontory, bill, point, or spit. [ 5] A point is generally considered a tapering piece of land projecting into a body of water that is less prominent than a cape. [ 6] In English, the plural of peninsula is peninsulas or, less commonly, peninsulae. A river which courses through a very tight meander is also sometimes said to form a \"\"peninsula\"\" within the (almost closed) loop of water.

D. in Interdisciplinary Studies (geology and physics). You can't spell 'plateau' without 'plate,' and there is a good reason for that - both of these objects are, by definition, flat. This lesson will further explain the definition of plateau and discuss some different types of these flat landforms. Defining Plateau A plateau is a flat area of land that is elevated above sea level. The word is French for 'table land,' and that term is also used for some smaller landforms that will be discussed further into this lesson. Plateaus aren't all perfectly flat, but they do have low relief; relief means the elevation change across an area. Given the rather straightforward definition, you may be surprised to learn that there are a lot of different kinds of plateaus. Plateaus are classified based on how they form and where they are found. Most plateaus are found in areas of tectonic uplift, which is often, but not always, associated with mountain ranges."

"text": "\"Template: Other uses File: Meander.svg File: Rio-cauto-cuba. JPGA meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley and the inner part of the river has less energy and deposits what it is carrying. A stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternately eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside. The result is a snaking pattern as the stream meanders back and forth across its down-valley axis. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake is formed. Over time meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering problems for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges. There is not yet full consistency or standardization of scientific terminology used to describe watercourses. A variety of symbols and schemes exist. Parameters based on mathematical formulae or numerical data vary as well, depending on the database used by the theorist."

Given its unique location, it's not surprising that Greece has served as a crossroads for the Mediterranean world since the earliest days of its settlement. Since it's located roughly in the middle of the Eastern Mediterranean world, influences from foreign powers and cultures have long been part of the Greek experience. As a result, the Greeks were forced to create a culture that itself was more powerful, to the point of greatly influencing most of the Western world. However, it wasn't just ideas being traded, as Greece was a natural point for trading vessels traversing the seas. Additionally, the Greeks were forced to interact with the sea from their earliest period, meaning that they were soon comfortable enough to sail outside of the sheltered waters of the Aegean and into the greater Mediterranean. Landforms of the Greek Region This reliance on the sea was reinforced by the nature of the land in Greece."

These islands are often grouped into - the Northern Sporades, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, and the Ionian islands. These islands are dry and rugged with a mountainous terrain. Crete, Lesvos, Khios, Ikaria, Limnos, Samos, Euboea, and Thasos are among the best-known islands of Greece. Over eighty percent of the country is mountainous. The Pindus Mountains run north-south through the middle of the country forming the central terrain. The average elevation of the Pindus Mountains is about 8,700 feet."

"text": "\"GULF OF MEXICORobert S. Weddle GULF OF MEXICO. For 624 miles, from the Rio Grande delta to Sabine Pass, the Gulf of Mexico washes the Texas shore. This partially landlocked body of water, an indentation in the southeastern coast of North America, served as an avenue for discovery, exploration, and settlement of the southern and western sectors of what is now the United States as well as Mexico: the initial approach to the mainland continent. It brought the Spanish conquerors to Mexico and Texas, French colonists to Louisiana, and, somewhat later, settlers of numerous other nationalities to the republic and state of Texas. Today, the Gulf serves a vital commerce. It links the ports of five southern states and Mexico with the larger ocean and forms the basis of the various Marine Resources of Texas, which include navigation, recreation, oil and gas, commercial fisheries, oysters, and shell. The Gulf is open to the Atlantic Ocean through the Straits of Florida and to the Caribbean Sea through the Yucatán Channel. These passages, approximately 100 and 125 miles wide respectively, lie on either side of the island of Cuba, which extends into the Gulf's mouth \"\"like a loose-fitting bottle cork.\"\" The United States and Mexico form the Gulf's mainland shore, which extends more than 4,000 miles from the Florida Keys to Cabo Catoche, the northwestern promontory of the Yucatán Peninsula. Sharing the Gulf coast are Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, as well as the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Vera Cruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo."

Both of these channels are about 100 miles (160 km) wide. The gulf’s greatest east-west and north-south extents are approximately 1,100 and 800 miles (1,800 and 1,300 km), respectively, and it covers an area of some 600,000 square miles (1,550,000 square km).

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Physical features Physiography and geology The Gulf of Mexico consists of several ecological and geologic provinces, chief of which are the coastal zone, the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the abyssal plain. The coastal zone consists of tidal marshes, sandy beaches, mangrove-covered areas, and many bays, estuaries, and lagoons. The continental shelf forms an almost continuous terrace around the margin of the gulf; its width varies from a maximum of more than 200 miles (320 km) to a minimum of about 25 miles (40 km). Off the west coast of Florida as well as off the Yucatán Peninsula, the continental shelf consists of a broad area composed primarily of carbonate material."

"text": "\"NEWS VIDEOS BLOGS PERSONALITIESEye on Gulf of Mexico as Hurricane Season Starts By By Kristina Pydynowski, senior meteorologist June 03, 2014, 3:58:20 AM EDTThe Atlantic Hurricane Season commenced on Sunday and there are already tropical concerns for the Gulf of Mexico later this week as a new depression has formed south of Mexico. Accu Weather.com meteorologists are monitoring Tropical Depression Two-E south of Mexico and an area of disturbed weather across Central America for eventual tropical troubles in the Gulf of Mexico. The area of disturbed weather currently over Central America is expected to develop into a broad area of low pressure across the Bay of Campeche at midweek. This low could track to northeastern Mexico with drenching rain and thunderstorms or slowly linger in the Bay of Campeche later in the week. Even if the low tracks into northeastern Mexico, energy from the depression currently south of Mexico (not the depression itself though) could get transferred to the southern Gulf of Mexico later in the week and attempt to re-organize. Accu Weather.com meteorologists will be closely monitoring both of these features for possible development as they pass over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The main battle each faces will be wind shear (strong winds above the surface that can rip apart tropical systems). \"\" An upper-level area of high pressure building over Texas and extending eastward holds the key to the movement of any low forming over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico several days from Monday,\"\" stated Accu Weather.com Tropical Expert Dan Kottlowski. RELATED: Accu Weather.com Hurricane Center Four Innovative Ways Hurricane Forecasts Have Improved to Save Lives INFOGRAPHIC: Explore the Anatomy, Threats of a Hurricane\"\"If that high builds strongly to the east, it will force any low pressure area in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico to drift westward into Mexico. \"\" Kottlowski continued, \"\"If the high does not build much to the east, there could be a steering wind flow that could guide a low in the southwestern or southern Gulf of Mexico to the north or northeast. \"\""

The depression began to quickly organize, and by early on September 16, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gordon. After becoming a tropical storm, Gordon continued to intensify and was reclassified as a hurricane about 24 hours later; eventually, the storm peaked as an 80 mph (130 km/h) Category 1 hurricane. However, southwesterly upper-level winds caused Gordon to weaken as it approached land, and it was downgraded to a tropical storm by late on September 17. At 0300 UTC on September 18, Gordon made landfall near Cedar Key, Florida as a strong tropical storm. After moving inland, Gordon rapidly weakened and had deteriorated to tropical depression status by nine hours later. Later that day, Gordon merged with a frontal boundary while centered over Georgia. Prior to becoming a tropical cyclone, the precursor tropical wave caused severe flooding in Guatemala, killing 23 people."

The Loop Current is an area of warm water that travels up from the Caribbean, past the Yucatan Peninsula, and into the Gulf of Mexico. The current is also known as the Florida current as it flows through the Florida Strait, into the Gulf Stream, and heads north up the eastern coast of the U. S. From the south, the Gulf of Mexico is fed by a current of warm water from the Caribbean, which enters the Gulf between Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba. This forms the Gulf Loop Current, which curves east and south along Florida's coast and exits through the Straits of Florida. The Gulf Loop is variable. Sometimes, the current barely enters the Gulf of Mexico before heading towards the Atlantic. At other times, it may travel nearly to the coast of Louisiana before swinging back towards the Florida Strait.

The island's long, tapered shape allows the moderating sea breezes to cool all regions, and there are no pronounced seasonal variations in temperature. July and August are the warmest months, and February is the coolest. The wet summer season is between May and October, and the drier winter season runs from November through April. Annual rainfall averages over 180 centimeters (70 inches) in the mountains, 90 to 140 centimeters (35 to 55 inches) in the lowlands, and 65 centimeters (26 inches) at Guantanamo Bay. On average, rain falls on Cuba 85 to 100 days per year with three-quarters of it falling during the wet season."

Following Christopher Columbus ' establishment of permanent settlement in the Caribbean, the Spanish authorized expeditions or entradas for the discovery, conquest, and colonization of new territory, using existing Spanish settlements as a base. The Spanish campaign began in February 1519, following the Spanish arrival in Yucatán in 1517. Two years later the Spanish set sail, thus beginning the campaign of colonization of the Americas. [ 3] The Spanish campaign declared victorious on August 13, 1521, when a coalition army of Spanish forces and native Tlaxcalan warriors led by Hernán Cortés and Xicotencatl the Younger captured the emperor Cuauhtemoc and Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire. During the campaign, Cortés was given support from a number of tributaries and rivals of the Aztecs, including the Totonacs, and the Tlaxcaltecas, Texcocans, and other city-states particularly bordering Lake Texcoco. In their advance, the allies were tricked and ambushed several times by the people they encountered. After eight months of battles and negotiations, which overcame the diplomatic resistance of the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II to his visit, Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519, where he took up residence, welcomed by Moctezuma. When news reached Cortés of the death of several of his men during the Aztec attack on the Totonacs in Veracruz, he took the opportunity to take Moctezuma captive, Moctezuma allowed himself to be captured as a diplomatic gesture. Capturing the cacique or indigenous ruler was standard operating procedure for Spaniards in their expansion in the Caribbean, so capturing Moctezuma had considerable precedent, which might well have included those in Spain during the Christian reconquest of territory held by Muslims.

It was established following the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1521, and following additional conquests, it was made a viceroyalty (Spanish: virreinato) in 1535. The first of four viceroyalties Spain created in the Americas, it comprised Mexico, Central America, much of the Southwestern and Central United States, and Spanish Florida as well as the Philippines, Mariana and Caroline Islands. After 1535 the colony was governed by the Viceroy of New Spain, an appointed minister of the King of Spain, who ruled as monarch over the colony from its capital, Mexico City. [ 1] [2] New Spain lost parts of its territory to other European powers and independence, but the core area remained under Spanish control until 1821, when it achieved independence as the Mexican Empire – when the latter dissolved, it became modern Mexico and Central America. New Spain developed highly regional divisions, reflecting the impact of climate, topography, indigenous populations, and mineral resources. The areas of central and southern Mexico had dense indigenous populations with complex social, political, and economic organization. The northern area of Mexico, a region of nomadic and semi-nomadic indigenous populations, was not generally conducive to dense settlements, but the discovery of silver in Zacatecas in the 1540s drew settlement there to exploit the mines."

"text": "\"5.5 Tropical Cyclones (Hurricanes)Learning Objectives Describe how and why hurricanes form. Outline why hurricanes have the potential to be so dangerous. Explain why hurricanes mainly occur in the tropics. Above the oceans just north and south of the equator, a weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone can develop that can drastically alter the physical and cultural landscape if it reaches land. In the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, this weather pattern is called a hurricane. In the North Pacific Ocean, the same type of weather pattern is called a typhoon. In the Indian Ocean region and in the South Pacific Ocean, it is called a tropical cyclone or just a cyclone. All these storms are considered tropical because they almost always develop between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Figure 5.35 Cyclones, Hurricanes, and Typhoons and Their Respective Locations around the World Hurricanes develop over water that is warmer than 80 ºF. As the air heats, it rises rapidly, drawing incoming air to replace the rising air and creating strong wind currents and storm conditions. The rapidly rising humid air then cools and condenses, resulting in heavy rains and a downdraft of cooler air."

Muscles can only pull, never push. Most of the time, when a muscle shortens, its attachment to the moveable bone moves torward the orgin, or fixed immovable point of attachment..

Prime movers -a muscle that provides the major force for producing a specific movement. For example, the biceps brachii muscle is a prime mover of elbow flexion. Photo of a bicep (courtesy of flickr)Antagonists -muscles that oppose or reverse a particular movement. When a prime move is active, the antagonist muscles are often stretched and relaxed. An example is the flexion of the forearm by the bicep of the arm is antagonized by the tricep. Synergist -help prime movers in two ways 1) add a little extra force to that same movement 2) reduce undesirable/unnecessary movement that might occur when prime mover contracts An example of this would be when the finger flexor muscles crothe bothe the writst and the phalanges, but you can still make a fist without bending your wrist."

B. Yeats • Summary and Analysis of the Poem “Departmental\"\" by Robert Frost • Poem Analysis of “Traveling Through the Dark” by William Stafford • Romanticism in Poems by Wordsworth and Coleridge • An Analysis of Common Themes in Victorian Poetry The natural world has always been an important subject for poets and prose writers and is not an aspect that is dealt with exclusively by transcendental poets such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman, who are some of the most influential transcendental poets.. Whether in the poetry of the era of Romanticism, including that of Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley, the Gothic tales of Stoker, Shelley, and Poe, or the works by transcendentalists Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, nature serves as much more than simply a passive setting against which compelling actions unfold or a pretty backdrop or setting in the natural world. Rather, nature in all of the poems and essays by Emerson, Thoreau, and Walden is a living character through which human identity is constructed either through the characters’ alignment with the natural world or their struggle against it. In the works of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman in particular, nature is portrayed as a beneficent living force that can, if studied and understood through careful and intentional reflection, offer enduring lessons about what it means to be human. In “Self-Reliance,\"\" and the main ideas behind Thoreau’s “Walden”, as well as “Leaves of Grass”, the respective authors are deeply reverent of nature, and it is through their intimate relationship with the natural world that they construct their own identities and their philosophies about how to live a right life in the natural world. For Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, nature is viewed as possessing all the knowledge that man needs to know, if only he is attentive and willing enough to study its messages and apply them to his life. For Ralph Waldo Emerson, the physical environment is a perfectly ordered world because it is natural; it was not constructed by man and it is therefore not subjected to or tainted by his misguided ideas, as Emerson portrays men’s institutions to be. Yes, the physical world is wild and untamed, just as the human soul itself. In nature or the natural world, Emerson finds the rules by which he lives, and by which he exhorts others to live. The institutions of men have no appeal for him since they do not fit within the natural world, nor does he acknowledge them as authoritative; as he says, “No law can be sacred to me but that of my [own] nature\"\" (52). The human being, like the natural world in which he lives, is untamed."

His father, a pencil manufacturer named John Thoreau, and mother Cynthia Dunbar Thoreau christened him David Henry but always called him Henry. As an adult, Thoreau began to give his name as Henry David but never had it legally changed. The Thoreaus had three other children in addition to Henry - Helen, five years older than Henry, John, Jr., two years older, and Sophia, two years younger. In 1821, the family moved to Boston, where they lived until 1823, when they returned to Concord. Thoreau later recalled a visit the family made to Walden Pond from Boston when he was four years old. When he was sixteen, Thoreau entered Harvard College, his grandfather's alma mater. His schooling was paid for by the money his father made as a pencil manufacturer, combined with contributions from his elder siblings salaries from their teaching jobs. While at college, Thoreau studied Latin and Greek grammar and composition, and took classes in a wide variety of subjects, including mathematics, English, history, philosophy, and four different modern languages."

"text": "\"By Elizabeth Witherell, with Elizabeth Dubrulle THOREAU'S EARLY YEARSHenry Thoreau was born in 1817 in Concord, where his father, John, was a shopkeeper. John moved his family to Chelmsford and Boston, following business opportunities. In 1823 the family moved back to Concord where John established a pencil-making concern that eventually brought financial stability to the family. Thoreau's mother, Cynthia Dunbar, took in boarders for many years to help make ends meet. Thoreau's older siblings, Helen and John, Jr., were both schoolteachers; when it was decided that their brother should go to Harvard College, as had his grandfather before him, they contributed from their teaching salaries to help pay his expenses, at that time about $179 a year. Harvard put heavy emphasis on the classics--Thoreau studied Latin and Greek grammar or composition for three of his four years. He also took courses in mathematics, English, history, and mental, natural, and intellectual philosophy. Modern languages were voluntary, and Thoreau chose to take Italian, French, German, and Spanish. He was never happy about the teaching methods used at Harvard-- Ralph Waldo Emerson is supposed to have remarked that most of the branches of learning were taught at Harvard, and Thoreau to have replied, \"\"Yes, indeed, all the branches and none of the roots\"\" (Walter Harding, The Days of Henry Thoreau [New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1970], 51)--but he did appreciate the lifelong borrowing privileges at Harvard College Library for which his degree qualified him. ASPIRING WRITERHe returned to Concord after his graduation in 1837 and took up the profession of teaching, first at the district school and then in a school he opened with his brother John."

Created as part of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury when regional government was introduced, the town was dissolved when the city of Greater Sudbury was incorporated on January 1, 2001. The name Walden continues to be informally used to designate the area. Walden now constitutes most of Ward 2 on Greater Sudbury City Council, and is represented by councillor Michael Vagnini. The entirety of Walden was also redistricted into the federal Sudbury electoral district as of the 2004 election, although it remains in the provincial constituency of Nickel Belt. In the Canada 2011 Census, the areas of Lively, Waters, Mikkola and Naughton were grouped for the first time as the population centre (or urban area) of Lively, with a population of 6,922 and a population density of 350.9/km 2. [ 1] No separate population statistics were published for the more rural western portion of Walden, which was counted only as part of the city's overall census data; however, the individual census tracts corresponding to the former town of Walden had a total population of 10,664. For the Canada 2016 Census, the boundaries of the Lively population centre were revised to exclude Naughton, for a new population of 5,608 and an adjusted 2011 population of 5,584.

"title": "http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Melrose\nLast name: Melrose",
"text": "\"Last name: Melrose SDB Popularity ranking: 7499This rare locational name is of Scottish origin and derives from the town of Melrose in the border country near Galashiels. The elements of the name are Ancient British (i.e., pre Roman, circa 55 A. D.) and are developments of \"\"moel\"\", meaning a bare and barren place, and \"\"rhos\"\", a moor or heath. The Breton and Gaelic \"\"ros\"\" meaning a headland or promontory could also have been the meaning of the second element. The Middle Ages saw an increasing movement of the population partly as a result of war, sometimes plague, but often owing to the spread of sheep farming and the development of the textile industry. These \"\"emigrants\"\" took the name of their original home. Oddly, in Melrose on November 29th 1693, Agnes Melrose married John Bulzie, whilst in 1837, the first year of National Records, Thomas Melrose is recorded at Mosley Street, Presbyterian Church, Manchester, on July 25th of that year. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Melrose, which was dated 1468, in the \"\"Calendar and Rolls of Edinburgh\"\", during the reign of King James 111 of Scotland, 1460 - 1488. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to \"\"develop\"\" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling."

The original monastery at Melrose is referred to in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with the name Magilros. In the late Middle Ages, when the monastery had been re-founded in its present position, its name was symbolically represented by the visual pun of a mell (mason's hammer) and a rose (symbolising the Virgin Mary, to whom all Cistercian abbeys were dedicated). Mel & Rose symbols in stonework at Abbey History [ edit]Melrose is the location of Melrose Abbey, re-founded for the Cistercian order by David I in the early 12th century, one of the most beautiful monastic ruins in Great Britain. It is the site of the burial of the heart of Scottish king Robert the Bruce. An excavation was led to find a sealed casket, but it was not opened, and it was actually discovered by high school students involved in the dig. The casket was placed in a sealed lead cylinder, and was then re-buried in the abbey back at its proper resting place. The remains of the Abbey are cared for by Historic Scotland (open all year; entrance charge)."

Coat of arms of the last chief of Maxton, the Maxton of Cultoquhey Clan Maxton is a Scottish clan. The clan does not have a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms therefore the clan has no standing under Scots Law. Clan Maxton is considered an armigerous clan, meaning that it is considered to have had at one time a chief who possessed the chiefly arms, or who was considered chief of the name. However no one at present is in possession of such arms, and no one is considered chief of the name. The surname Maxton is considered to be a habitational name from the lands and barony of Maxton in Roxburghshire, on the Scottish Borders. The name roughly means \"\"settlement ( tun) of Maccus\"\". [ 1] Around 1153, during the reign of David I, Maccus, son of Undwin is thought to have obtained the lands. The family however are thought to have lost their lands, which passed into the possession of Robert de Berkley in the 12th century. In 1261, Adam de Maxton was elected Abbot of Melrose."

"text": "Anyone can join: how open charters offer some CUs a nationwide reach By Aaron Passman Published February 13 2017, 5:00am ESTMore in Growth strategies Field of membership Credit unionsprintreprint When Long Island-based Bethpage FCU absorbed Montauk Credit Union last year, it quietly gained a massive addition to its field of membership most credit unions only dream about—and banks fret about: Bethpage can now offer membership to literally every man, woman and child in the U. S. While open charters were somewhat common in the early years of the credit union movement, only a handful of them exist today, most of them remnants from the early years of the movement, predating the passage of the Federal Credit Union Act in 1934. According to Linda Armyn, SVP of corporate affairs at Bethpage, the expansion possibilities that came with absorbing Montauk were an added bonus from the merger, but Bethpage wasn’t initially aware of Montauk’s open charter until late in the process. In spite of that expanded reach, a nationwide strategy is not in the cards. “We’re sticking to Long Island,” said Armyn. “ We’re not abandoning it in any way, shape or form. This is where our roots are.” The $6.9 billion credit union also picked up a branch location in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood as a result of the merger, which Armyn said will also be a part of the membership expansion efforts when it begins promoting itself to residents in that area later this year. “We have a lot of commuters – people who live on Long Island but work in Manhattan – so we’re focused on letting commuters know they have another branch they can use to service them when they’re in the city, because it’s not far from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. ”Two other credit unions in the Empire State have an open charter: Progressive CU and Melrose CU.“The ones that have it today were grandfathered in,” said Henry Meier, general counsel at the New York Credit Union Association. “ That option no longer exists in New York."

"text": "The Scottish Borders Guide Scotts View The Scottish Borders, which is also referred to simply as the Borders, stretches from the Pentland, Moorfoot and Lammermuir Hills that mark the boundary with the Lothians in the north, to the Cheviot Hills which, along with the River Tweed, mark the border with England in the south. Along with Dumfries & Galloway this area of Scotland is referred to as the Southern Uplands. A beautiful route to enter Scotland from the UK is by travelling over the A68 crossing the border at Carter Bar. It’s here that you are rewarded with magnificent views over the Scottish Borders. The landscape of the Scottish Borders varies from west to east. The western part has rolling hills and beautiful lochs such as St Marys Loch, one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland according to the author. The central part of the Borders has a more rural character while the eastern part, bordering the North Sea, has some hidden gems such as the seaside village of St Abbs and the former fishing village of Cove. The river Tweed crosses the entire area of the Borders starting at the south-east at Tweed’s Well and flowing gradually to the east where the river flows into the North Sea at Berwick upon Tweed. On the banks of this beautiful river you can find lovely and romantic villages such as Peebles, Innerleithen and Melrose. The Scottish Borders are steeped in history as it was once the home of Christian monks who lived in the magnificent Border Abbeys of Dryburgh, Melrose, Kelso and Jedburgh in the 13th and 14th centuries."

According to Heather Locklear, the first season was “very boring. It was all nice people, and, really, there are some bad people in the world.” To beef up ratings in the second season, creator Darren Star—who went on to create Sex and the City —and co-executive producer Aaron Spelling brought in Locklear, and the show exploded. “ There’s an old Noel Coward expression that fits,” Spelling told the Chicago Tribune. “ To put a cat amongst the pigeons.

She was effective enough for people to tune in each week to see what might unfold on the nighttime soap opera, whether it was an outrageous baby kidnapping plot, the apartment building exploding, or one of a number of scandalous affairs.

[ 3] [4] [5] Vader appears in the original span of the saga going from being Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied child who would bring balance to the Force, to his corruption and transformation into Darth Vader, to being the pivotal antagonist, and eventual redemption and fulfillment of the prophecy. The character was created by George Lucas and has been portrayed by numerous actors. His appearances span the first six Star Wars films, as well as Rogue One, and his character is referenced in both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He is also an important character in the Star Wars expanded universe of television series, video games, novels, literature and comic books. Originally a Jedi prophesied to bring balance to the Force, he falls to the dark side of the Force and serves the evil Galactic Empire at the right hand of his Sith master, Emperor Palpatine (also known as Darth Sidious). [ 6] He is also the father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa, secret husband of Padmé Amidala and grandfather of Kylo Ren. Darth Vader has become one of the most iconic villains in popular culture, and has been listed among the greatest villains and fictional characters ever. [ 7] [8] The American Film Institute listed him as the third greatest movie villain in cinema history on 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains, behind Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. [ 9] However, other critics consider him a tragic hero, citing his original motivations for the greater good before his fall to the dark side. ["

"text": "\"George Lucas was so sure the film would flop that instead of attending the premiere, he went on vacation to Hawaii with his good friend Steven Spielberg, where they came up with the idea for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). In early drafts of the script, R2-D2 could speak standard English, and he had a rather foul vocabulary. Although all of R2's English speech was removed, many of C-3PO's reactions to it were left in. The first film to make over $300,000,000. According to Harrison Ford, during the making of the film, he and Mark Hamill would usually fool around and not commit to their work whenever Alec Guinness was not on set. When Guinness was on set, they behaved much more professionally. George Lucas' decision to accept a lower salary on the film in exchange for full merchandising rights was considered a fool's gamble on his part. Toys based on movies had never been major money-earners (though some movie-toy combinations had done moderate retail returns) because of the long gap between when a movie would go through its theatrical run and when any products based on it would be available. Star Wars, however, was such a phenomenon that it reached the holiday 1977 sales period in full swing, and changed the way movies were merchandised forever. Harrison Ford didn't learn his lines for the intercom conversation in the cell block so that it would sound spontaneous."

A \"\" laser sword ,\"\" it consists of a polished metalhilt which projects a brightly lit blade generally about 4 feet or 1.22 meters long, though some lightsabers are of a different length. The lightsaber is the signature weapon of the Jedi order and their Sith counterparts, both of whom can use them for close combat, or to deflect blaster bolts. Its distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and digitally for the prequel trilogy. The lightsaber first appeared in the original Star Wars film ( 1977) and every Star Wars movie has featured at least one lightsaber duel. In 2008, a survey of approximately 2,000 film fans found it to be the most popular weapon in film history. [ 1]The lightsaber's blade cuts through most substances without resistance. It leaves cauterized wounds in flesh, but can be deflected by another lightsaber's blade, or by energy shields. Some exotic saber-proof materials have been introduced in the Expanded Universe. An active lightsaber gives off a distinctive hum, which rises in pitch and volume as the blade is moved rapidly through the air."

It comes from the ancient given name Peter which anciently meant rock or stone. Early Origins of the Perrin family The surname Perrin was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A. D. Early History of the Perrin family This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Perrin research. Another 149 words (11 lines of text) covering the years 1642, 1719 and 1665 are included under the topic Early Perrin History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Perrin Spelling Variations Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Perrin, Perren, Perrine, Peren, Perring, Perrins and others.

"text": "\"Teaching Tone, Mood and Purpose through the Interpretation of Activist Poetryby Wm. Miles Greene To Guide Entry Send / Read Comments Introduction Background on Activist Poetry Rationale Curriculum Objectives Reading Strategies Classroom Activities After Reading Activities Assessment Standards Bibliography Introduction\"\"A poet's work is to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it from going to sleep.\"\" -Salman Rushdie This quote, written by Salman Rushdie, sums up my belief surrounding the purpose of socially critical poetry. As an educator who grew up as an artist in the poverty stricken neighborhoods of Long Beach, California, listening to the calls to action by many of the underground punk rock groups of the late 1980's and early 1990's, I can easily relate to the notion that poetry, and other forms of literature, can be used as vehicles for self expression and social progress. I remember hearing Greg Graffin— front-man in the punk rock band Bad Religion, and frequent guest lecturer in the University of California system— singing lines such as \"\"You are the government, you are jurisprudence, you are the volition, you are jurisdiction, and I make a difference, too (Religion 1988)\"\" and feeling like I could someday change the world, or a world, just as music had changed mine. By the time I finished High School I really began understanding the power of song, and by extension, poetry. I realized that poetry had the power to inspire thought, to evoke feeling and to and encourage action. Furthermore, music and poetry gave me a common platform with my colleagues and friends. This common platform became a strong foundation for social and political dialogue; many of my colleagues had similar— but often differing— views about the world in which we live. Nevertheless, there was always room to grow and ask questions about why society is constructed as it is, and just as importantly, why my own frame of reference is constructed the way it is."

Chad's original article appears directly after Jack's update. One of the biggest headaches for network administrators is open ports on devices. Unless you manually installed the operating system on every device on your network, ensuring to close down all unessential ports, you run the risk of attack.

You need to come up with a list of ports that either can or must remain open. Once you have that list, you can set about closing up shop on those machines. But how do you know which machines have which ports open? Sure, you could go around to every machine on your network, open whatever is being used as a firewall, and manually make sure all necessary ports are open and all unnecessary ports are closed. Or, you can scan the network and find out which machines have which ports open."

Laval ( [la.val] ( listen)) is a town in western France, about 300 km (190 mi) west-southwest of Paris, and the capital of the Mayenne department. Laval was before the French Revolution part of the province of Maine, now split between two departments, Mayenne and Sarthe. Its inhabitants are called Lavallois. The commune of Laval proper, without the metropolitan area, is the 13th most populous in northwestern France and the 119th in France. [ 1]A part of the traditional province of Maine, Laval also lies on the threshold of Brittany and is not far from Normandy and Anjou. It was thus an important stronghold in northwestern France during the Middle Ages. Laval became a city during the 11th century, and was the cradle of the House of Laval, one of the most powerful families in Maine and Brittany. The counts of Laval developed a textile industry around 1300 and made Laval a significant centre for the French Renaissance a century later."

"text": "\"Worchestershire Sauce. mechnine/Flickr/CC 2.0It's a mysterious yet flavorful brown liquid that is a staple in most American kitchens, but what is Worcestershire sauce? Worcestershire sauce is a fermented condiment made from a base of malt vinegar and flavored with anchovies, molasses, tamarind, onion, garlic, and other seasonings. The flavor is savory and sweet with a distinct tang provided by the malt vinegar. Worcestershire sauce is commonly used to flavor meat, soups, stews, marinades, and even beverages such as bloody mary's or micheladas. Worcestershire Sauce History Worcestershire sauce as we know it today was developed by two chemists, John Lea and William Perrins, in Worcester England. While trying to develop a vinegar based seasoning sauce Lea and Perrins abandoned their first batch, which they deemed unsuccessful, and stored it in their basement. Some time later, they discovered the bottles, tasted the sauce again, and found that through fermentation the flavor had developed into a deliciously complex savory sauce. The popularity of this fermented sauce quickly spread and by 1837 the sauce was fully commercialized. Today the Lea & Perrins brand of Worcestershire sauce is sold in over 75 countries worldwide and several manufacturers have produced their own version of the savory sauce."

He prepared extensive notes so another author could complete the book according to his wishes. Fellow fantasy author and long-time Wheel of Time fan Brandon Sanderson was brought in to complete the final book, but during the writing process it was decided that the book would be far too large to be published in one volume and would instead be published as three volumes: [2] The Gathering Storm (2009), Towers of Midnight (2010), and A Memory of Light (2013)."

Length: 12 miles ADVERTISEMENTOn this page Overview Roadwaydetails Exits Speedlimits Special features& notes Traffic Media gallery Constructionprojects Futureplans History Overview There are no true east-west arterials between Loop 410 and Loop 1604 in North San Antonio. As a result, Loop 410, Loop 1604, and many of the zig-zagged arterials in the area are overburdened trying to facilitate east-west traffic. The Wurzbach Parkway is a new east-west \"\"super-arterial\"\" across northern San Antonio connecting I-10 to I-35. It was intended to help reduce the load on both loops as well as arterials in the vicinity by facilitating many of the shorter-distance east-west trips across the northside, although it can and is often used for longer journeys. The parkway was developed under the now-retired Principal Arterial Street System (PASS) program and carries a Tx DOT route number of PA-1502. Prior to 2014, this route number was not signed, but has been signed now at several locations. ( Technically, the \"\"PA\"\" in the route number is short for Principal Arterial, not Parkway, although that works, too. ) The route passes through a variety of urban land uses. The eastern end of the route passes through a light commercial and industrial area before entering the former Longhorn Quarry, which was redeveloped as an entertainment area with an amusement park, high school football stadium, and soccer complex including the home stadium for San Antonio's professional team."

"text": "\"One question most asked of me is \"\"How, or did they, really farm the Upper Keys?\"\" Farming was one of the methods, like fishing, the wrecker used to tide himself over between salvaging shipwrecks. As the wrecking industry began to close in the latter 1800s, the farming industry expanded. We can easily assume that early families raised sufficient plant foods to support their own needs and probably enough to trade with neighbors (if there were any) for other necessities of life. One looking for old housing sites can readily spot them by the telltale signs of date palms, sapodillas, guavas, mangoes and other fruit trees. Usually the remains of a water cistern are nearby. Every homesteader grew their own fruit from trees that the early Bahamian settlers knew would thrive in the limestone soil of the Keys. Raising animals for meat was not as critical in the Keys because of the quantity of marine life, but it was still done on a limited basis. The farming I refer to here is an industry and not just for family sustenance. One reason farming was more successful in the Upper Keys than the Lower Keys was that the Upper Keys generally received about 20 inches more annual rainfall."

"text": "Atomism from the 17th to the 20th Century First published Thu Jun 30, 2005; substantive revision Thu Oct 9, 2014Atomism in the form in which it first emerged in Ancient Greece was a metaphysical thesis, purporting to establish claims about the ultimate nature of material reality by philosophical argument. Versions of atomism developed by mechanical philosophers in the seventeenth century shared that characteristic. By contrast, the knowledge of atoms that is now taken for granted in modern science is not established by a priori philosophical argument but by appeal to quite specific experimental results interpreted and guided by a quite specific theory, quantum mechanics. If metaphysics involves an attempt to give an account of the basic nature of material reality then it is an issue about which science rather than philosophy has most to say. A study of the path from philosophical atomism to contemporary scientific atomism helps to shed light on the nature of philosophy and science and the relationship between the two. From the nineteenth century onwards, when serious versions of scientific atomism first emerged, the philosophical relevance of a history of atomism becomes epistemological rather than metaphysical. Since atoms lie far beyond the domain of observation, should hypotheses concerning them form part of empirical science? There were certainly philosophers and scientists of the nineteenth century who answered that question in the negative. Contemporary philosophers differ over the question of whether the debate was essentially a scientific one or a philosophical one. Was there a case to oppose atomism on the grounds that it was unfruitful or lacking in adequate experimental support, or did such a case stem from some general epistemological thesis, perhaps some brand of positivism, that ruled out of court any attempt to explain observable phenomena by invoking unobservable atoms?"

Always the Lea and Perrins brand. Allegedly, Worcestershire sauce was what was used in the original Ceasar salad instead of anchovies. But Worcestershire sauce has some anchovies in the ingredients list. Don't worry, doesn't taste fishy at all. Quite often, anchovies just provide a salty savory umami flavor base to a dish, which I think they do in Ceasar dressing."

Mellor Music: Franz Waxman Cast: Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelly Winters, Anne Revere, Keefe Brasselle, Fred Clark, Raymond Burr, Herbert Heyes, Shepperd Strudwick, Frieda Inescort, Kathryn Givney, Walter Sande, Ted de Corsia Introduction I was 20 when I fell for Elizabeth Taylor. It was during one of my first internships at The Baltimore Sun, when we heard the actress was on her death bed. Film critic Michael Sragow and multimedia editor Jo Parker (now at CNN) had me compile a tribute video, filled with the cheesy transitions of a first-time editor. Thus my first explorations of classic Hollywood came with my first explorations of Taylor. I was a sucker for those breathless lines and purple eyes, and I quickly realized there was so much more to Taylor than the diamonds and celebrity home-wrecking I’d heard about. She wound up living for six more years, and it became a running joke at The Sun that my montage was still sitting on the shelf. By the time it finally ran in 2011, giving her “A Place in the (Baltimore) Sun,” I had hoped the day would never come. I had grown totally endeared to her work, such that her passing recalled her teary-eyed farewell to Monty Clift: “It seems like we always spend the best part of our time, just saying goodbye. ”That line came from the film that captivated me more than any in her career, A Place in the Sun, which also introduced me to the work of prolific director George Stevens. He had actually finished shooting the film in 1949, but Paramount held off releasing it until 1951 so that it wouldn’t have to compete with Billy Wilder’s masterpiece Sunset Blvd. ("

A pair of dark blue Chuck Taylor All-Stars Chuck Taylor All-Stars or Converse All Stars (also referred to as \"\" Converse \"\", \"\" Chuck Taylors \"\", \"\" Chucks \"\", \"\" Cons \"\", and \"\" All Stars \"\") is a model of casual shoes first developed and produced in the early 20th century by Converse (a subsidiary of Nike, Inc. since 2003). The design of the Chuck Taylor All-Star has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. The shoes consist of a stitched upper portion, a toe cap usually made of white rubber, and a sole that is usually made of brown rubber. Although Chuck Taylors are made of various materials such as leather, the original and most widely known version of the shoe is made from cotton canvas. The innovative detail of the original shoe was the \"\"loose lining\"\" of soft canvas. This was intended to move along with sweaty gym socks and prevent blisters. An improved model, the Chuck Taylor II, was announced by company management in July 2015. [ 1] Incorporating Nike technology, it retains the outward appearance of the original while employing a modern lightweight material for the insole. ["

Answer by Cookie monster vs vegg Confidence votes 39The last name Everett has sources in both the Old English pre 7th century and Germanic origins, as being from the personal name 'Everard', translated as brave or strong. The name was popular with the 1066 Norman invaders of England, and it is possible that the German spelling was brought by them, and then intermixed with the English form. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richard Everard, dated 1204, during the reign of King John. The last name Everett also came from Wales.

Simon has been elusive and changed her story a bit when asked the inevitable question about the song (strange considering the album title). In 1974, she told Modern Hi-Fi and Music: \"\"That song is about a lot of people. I mean I can think of a lot of people. The actual examples that I've used in the song are from my imagination, but the stimulus is directly from a couple of different sources. It's not just about one particular person.\"\" The media and the general public seemed to want this to be about a specific person, however, and Simon was happy to indulge. In a 2008 interview to promote her album This Kind of Love, she said: \"\"When I had the line 'You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you,' that was definitely about one person. The rest of the descriptions basically came from my relationship with that person.\"\" When it came time to promote her memoir Boys in the Trees in 2015, Simon divulged that the second verse (\"\"You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive...\"\") is about Warren Beatty, and said that the other verses are about two different men, whom she wouldn't name."

"text": "\"Origin of Jim Crow The term Jim Crow originated in a song performed by Daddy Rice, a white minstrel show entertainer in the 1830s. Rice covered his face with charcoal paste or burnt cork to resemble a black man, and then sang and danced a routine in caricature of a silly black person. By the 1850s, this Jim Crow character, one of several stereotypical images of black inferiority in the nation's popular culture, was a standard act in the minstrel shows of the day. How it became a term synonymous with the brutal segregation and disfranchisement of African Americans in the late nineteenth-century is unclear. What is clear, however, is that by 1900, the term was generally identified with those racist laws and actions that deprived African Americans of their civil rights by defining blacks as inferior to whites, as members of a caste of subordinate people.

It includes the intentional effects of the laws themselves, effects that were not explicitly written into laws, and effects that continued after the laws had been repealed. Some of these impacts continue into the present. The primary differences of the Jim Crow economy, compared to a situation like apartheid, revolve around the alleged equality of access, especially in regard to land ownership and entry into the competitive labor market; however, those two categories often relate to ancillary effects in all other aspects of life. Contents [ hide ]1 Introduction2 Usage3 Land3.1 Rural3.2 Urban4 Labor4.1 Demographics4.2 Rural labor4.3 Labor laws4.4 Urban labor5 Life and death6 Legacy7 References Introduction [ edit]During the decade following the Civil War, the freed slaves made gains in political participation, land ownership, and personal wealth; but, those gains were somewhat temporary, perhaps because the mood of the federal policy-makers changed from punishing secessionists, to repatriating them. In the decades following the closure of the Freedmen's Bureau, in the South, black political participation was curtailed, the potential for acquiring new land was diminished, and ultimately Plessy v. Ferguson would usher in the Jim Crow era. By the end of the first decade of the 20th century, not only was African American progress halted, it was regressing. Leading up to and following World War I, the agrarian economy of the South was in dire straits, beginning a slow shift to urbanization and limited industrialization; this period also saw the beginning of the Great Migration. The 1930s saw increasing urbanization and industrialization in the South; and, federal policies of the time, such as the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, attempted to force economic parity between the South and the rest of the nation ( Wright 1987:171 ). By the time of the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the scientific racism that had underlain much of the justification for the Jim Crow era legal racism had been discredited, the South had substantially closed its wealth gap with the rest of the nation, and America was both urbanized and industrialized."

The minstrel show is one of the first indigenous forms of American entertainment. The tradition began in February 1843 when a group of four white men from Virginia, billed as the \"\"Virginia Minstrels\"\", applied black cork to their faces and performed a song-and-dance act in a small hall in New York City. The performance was such a success that the group was invited to tour to other cities and imitators sprang up immediately. These troups were successors to individual performers who imitated Negro singing and dancing. One of the earliest and most successful individual performers was Thomas Dartmouth \"\"Daddy\"\" Rice.

Redeemers cut real estate taxes, established state commissions of agriculture, subsidized state fairs, sponsored experimental farms, employed chemists to inspect fertilizers and to conduct soil surveys, established regulations for railroads, and supported lower tariffs. Aligning themselves with farmers on economic issues and combining low taxes with real, if limited, improvements in social services, the Redeemers exerted a powerful hold on the electorate.

Their program emphasized opposition to the Radical Republican system that they considered to be corrupt and a violation of true republican principles. They denounced high taxes and high state debts. Once in power, they typically cut government spending; shortened legislative sessions; lowered politicians' salaries; scaled back public aid to railroads and corporations; and reduced support for public education.

"text": "History Stories Was Jim Crow a real person? History Stories Was Jim Crow a real person? By Evan Andrews// January 29, 2014The Failure of Reconstruction Despite gaining their freedom, African-Americans face struggles in the years after the Civil War. Print Cite The term “Jim Crow” typically refers to repressive laws and customs once used to restrict black rights, but the origin of the name itself actually dates back to before the Civil War. In the early 1830s, the white actor Thomas Dartmouth “Daddy” Rice was propelled to stardom for performing minstrel routines as the fictional “Jim Crow,” a caricature of a clumsy, dimwitted black slave. Rice claimed to have first created the character after witnessing an elderly black man singing a tune called “Jump Jim Crow” in Louisville, Kentucky. He later appropriated the Jim Crow persona into a minstrel act where he donned blackface and performed jokes and songs in a stereotypical slave dialect. For example, “Jump Jim Crow” included the popular refrain, “Weel about and turn about and do ‘jis so, eb’ry time I weel about I jump Jim Crow.” Rice’s minstrel act proved a massive hit among white audiences, and he later took it on tour around the United States and Great Britain. As the show’s popularity spread, “Jim Crow” became a widely used derogatory term for blacks."

Status: False. Example: [The Atlantic Monthly, 2003]I was told that the term ‘crowbar’ was racist. My co-worker said it was derived from ‘Jim Crow,’ and that the device was named as such because it was used for menial labor. He said the appropriate term was ‘prybar.’ 1Origins: Once again rumor brings forthan attempt to eradicate unsavory aspects of our racial history through the purging of vocabulary, undeterred by the fact that the origins of the word to be eliminated have nothing to do with any aspect of racism. The use of the word ‘crow’ to describe an iron bar, usually with one end slightly bent and sharpened, is documented in English as far back as the year 1400. The device was so named because its splayed end resembled a crow’s beak or foot; by the mid-18th century it was known as a ‘crow bar,’ and by the mid-19th century the two words had been joined to form ‘crow-bar’ and then finally ‘crowbar. ’The use of the word ‘crow’ as a slang or pejorative reference to blacks didn’t occur until three centuries later, however, and the term ‘Jim Crow’ not until another century after that. Blacks were first called ‘crows’ in the 1730s, 2 and the popularization of that term was almost certainly the progenitor of the ‘Jim Crow’ character created a hundred years later: The term likely originated with a song introduced by blackface minstrel Thomas D. Rice about 1828. “"

"text": "\"Critical Essays Perspectives on Black Boy Bookmark this page Until Wright's Native Son, most black fiction was pretty much limited to historical, period pieces. Whether it belonged to the plantation tradition or the Harlem school of literature, most of it could be classed as only historically interesting. A primary reason for this is that the audience those writers addressed themselves to was middle class and \"\"liberated\"\" from the struggles of the poor. Since such an audience asks to read about itself, and since its spokesmen have to be \"\"liberated\"\" too, the writing of that time was largely restricted to a facade, a falsification of black life. There are, of course, notable exceptions to this rule Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston, and Langston Hughes but as a rule, middle-class writing, black and white, was designed to entertain, not to disturb, its middle-class reader. Therefore, when Richard leaves the South in Black Boy, it marks a turning point not only in his own life, but in the history of black literature. Much of the theme of his autobiography is summed up in his essay, \"\"The Ethics of Living Jim Crow,\"\" in which he describes with awful honesty the effects of the caste system on black people. No one before Wright had written of this subject as he did, and, consequently, the essay had a revolutionary value. Wright explained how it is necessary for a people living in a society founded on free enterprise and individualism to have a background of education in one's own personal values and free access to the surrounding society. Without those qualities, and without a history of free choice, black Americans are forced to remain in close-knit, pre-individualistic groups; there, the possibility of survival is even greater than it would be if each person tried to make it on his own."

Black Codes were part of a larger pattern of Southern whites trying to suppress the new freedom of emancipated African-American slaves, the freedmen. Black Codes were also enacted by Northern states such as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and New York prior to the Civil War to ban free blacks from residing in those states. Since the colonial period, colonies and states had passed laws that discriminated against free Blacks. In the South, these were generally included in \"\" slave codes \"\"; the goal was to reduce influence of free blacks (particularly after slave rebellions) because of their potential influence on slaves. Restrictions included prohibiting them from voting (although North Carolina allowed this before 1831), bearing arms, gathering in groups for worship and learning to read and write. A major purpose of these laws was to preserve slavery among other things."

RATINGMixture WHAT'S TRUEBoxer Jack Johnson patented a wrench in the 1920s. WHAT'S FALSEJack Johnson did not invent what we now call a \"\"monkey wrench,\"\" nor did that term originate as a racial slur. ORIGINIn mid-December 2015 a meme that claimed the term “monkey wrench” was first used as a derogatory term concerning its African-American inventor Jack Johnson, started circulating online: While the central theme of this meme (that white people used the term “monkey wrench” as a racial slur to demean its inventor) is false, there is some truth behind it. Jack Johnson was the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion and he did patent a wrench in 1922. Johnson’s patent, however, did not mark the invention of the first adjustable wrench, nor did it spawn the origin of the term “monkey wrench.” Johnson’s patent was merely an improvement on a previous design and had little bearing on the history of the tool, which can be traced back to the 1840s. In February 2005, the Jim Crow Museum published a brief history of the wrench in an attempt to answer a question about Jack Johnson and his 1922 patent: Did Jack Johnson invent the wrench? Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight boxing champion, patented a wrench (U. S. patent #1,413,121) on April 18, 1922."

ETL stands for Extract, Transform and Load, which is a process used to collect data from various sources, transform the data depending on business rules/needs and load the data into a destination database. The need to use ETL arises from the fact that in modern computing business data resides in multiple locations and in many incompatible formats. For example business data might be stored on the file system in various formats (Word docs, PDF, spreadsheets, plain text, etc), or can be stored as email files, or can be kept in a various database servers like MS SQL Server, Oracle and My SQL for example. Handling all this business information efficiently is a great challenge and ETL plays an important role in solving this problem. Extract, Transform and Load The ETL process has 3 main steps, which are Extract, Transform and Load. Extract – The first step in the ETL process is extracting the data from various sources. Each of the source systems may store its data in completely different format from the rest. The sources are usually flat files or RDBMS, but almost any data storage can be used as a source for an ETL process. Transform – Once the data has been extracted and converted in the expected format, it’s time for the next step in the ETL process, which is transforming the data according to set of business rules."

SSIS stands for SQL Server Integration Services and is the evolution of a SQL Server module previously called Data Transformation Services (DTS).

It shares some functionality overlap with Biz Talk (such as Biz Talk's ability to take data files and load them into SQL Server), but Biz Talk is a more generalized EDI tool. One of the advantages of SSIS to other ETL tools for Microsoft shops is that it is bundled with the Standard, Business Intelligence and Enterprise versions of SQL Server, lowering initial cost of ownership for the product. SSIS allows you to create packages which automatically imports and/or exports data to and/or from your SQL Server to and/or from another data source.

To find the real savings opportunities, organizations must paint a true picture of the spending landscape by utilizing Spend Analysis tools to look at more detail, look at spend of international sites, and break down spend into more refined categories. The improved availability of data yielded by a Spend Visibility & Analysis tool allows businesses to employ evidence-based decision making at all levels of their organization. Data-driven Spend Analysis means more capabilities and savings opportunities at lesser cost. Sometimes, uncovering opportunities in just a few commodities can save millions of dollars. Statistics taken from 100 customer engagements show a minimum savings of 10x's the ROI on the Spend Analysis project. What is Spend Analysis: What is it?"

The chapter discusses: Overview of Extraction Extracting Via Data Files Extracting Via Distributed Operations Change Capture Overview of Extraction Extraction is the operation of copying data from a database into a file or onto a network connection. This is the first step of the ETT process: data must be extracted from the source system (s) so that this data may be subsequently transformed and loaded into the data warehouse. The source systems for a data warehouse are typically transaction-processing database applications. For example, one of the source systems for a sales-analysis data warehouse may be the order-entry system which records all of the current order activities. Designing and creating the extraction process is often one of the most time-consuming tasks in the ETT process and, indeed, in the entire data warehousing process. The source systems may be very complex, and thus determining which data needs to be extracted can be difficult. Moreover, the source system typically cannot be modified, nor can its performance or availability be impacted, to accommodate the needs of the data warehouse extraction process. These are very important considerations for extraction, and ETT in general. This chapter, however, focuses on the technical considerations for extracting data."

ETL enables physical movement of data from source to target data repository. The first step, extraction, is to collect or grab data from from its source (s). The second step, transformation, is to convert, reformat, cleanse data into format that can be used be the target database. Finally the last step, loading, is import the transformed data into a target database, data warehouse, or a data mart. Step 1 – Extraction The extraction step of an ETL process involves connecting to the source systems, and both selecting and collecting the necessary data needed for analytical processing within the data warehouse or data mart. Usually data is consolidated from numerous, disparate source systems that may store the date in a different format. Thus the extraction process must convert the data into a format suitable for transformation processing. The complexity of the extraction process may vary and it depends on the type and amount of source data. Step 2 – Transformation The transformation step of an ETL process involves execution of a series of rules or functions to the extracted data to convert it to standard format."

This makes the details of the changes available in an easily consumed relational format. Column information and the metadata that is required to apply the changes to a target environment is captured for the modified rows and stored in change tables that mirror the column structure of the tracked source tables. Table-valued functions are provided to allow systematic access to the change data by consumers. A good example of a data consumer that is targeted by this technology is an extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) application. An ETL application incrementally loads change data from SQL Server source tables to a data warehouse or data mart. Although the representation of the source tables within the data warehouse must reflect changes in the source tables, an end-to-end technology that refreshes a replica of the source is not appropriate. Instead, you need a reliable stream of change data that is structured so that consumers can apply it to dissimilar target representations of the data. SQL Server change data capture provides this technology. Change Data Capture Data Flow The following illustration shows the principal data flow for change data capture."

First, let’s view them in the context of a real-world scenario. A Real-World Scenario A major global transportation company uses its data warehouse to both analyze the performance of its operations and to predict variances in its scheduled deliveries. Data Sources The major sources of data in this company include order data from its DB2-based order entry system, customer data from its SQL Server-based customer relationship management (CRM) system, and vendor data from its Oracle-based ERP system. In addition to data from these major systems, data from spreadsheets tracking “extraordinary” events, which have been entered by hand by shipping supervisors, is incorporated into the data warehouse."

They can range from simple data conversions to extremely complex data scrubbing techniques. Many, if not all, data transformations can occur within an Oracle database, although transformations are often implemented outside of the database (for example, on flat files) as well. This chapter introduces techniques for implementing scalable and efficient data transformations within the Oracle Database. The examples in this chapter are relatively simple. Real-world data transformations are often considerably more complex. However, the transformation techniques introduced in this chapter meet the majority of real-world data transformation requirements, often with more scalability and less programming than alternative approaches. This chapter does not seek to illustrate all of the typical transformations that would be encountered in a data warehouse, but to demonstrate the types of fundamental technology that can be applied to implement these transformations and to provide guidance in how to choose the best techniques. Transformation Flow From an architectural perspective, you can transform your data in two ways: Multistage Data Transformation Pipelined Data Transformation Multistage Data Transformation The data transformation logic for most data warehouses consists of multiple steps. For example, in transforming new records to be inserted into a sales table, there may be separate logical transformation steps to validate each dimension key."

"text": "From: Developing big data solutions on Microsoft Azure HDInsight On this page The cluster The data store The query mechanism More information In the days before Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational databases, data was typically stored in flat files, often is simple text format, with fixed width columns. Application code would open and read one or more files sequentially, or jump to specific locations based on the known line width of a row, to read the text and parse it into columns to extract the values. Results would be written back by creating a new copy of the file or a separate results file. Modern relational databases put an end to all this, giving us greater power and additional capabilities for extracting information simply by writing queries in a standard format such as SQL. The database system hides all the complexity of the underlying storage mechanism and the logic for assembling the query that extracts and formats the information. However, as the volume of data that we collect continues to increase, and the native structure of this information is less clearly defined, we are moving beyond the capabilities of even enterprise-level relational database systems. Big data batch processing solutions are essentially a simple process that breaks up the source files into multiple blocks and replicates the blocks on a distributed cluster of commodity nodes. Data processing runs in parallel on each node, and the parallel processes are then combined into an aggregated result set. At the core of many big data implementations is an open source technology named Apache Hadoop. Hadoop was developed by Yahoo and the code was then provided as open source to the Apache Software Foundation."

Hysteria Definition The term \"\"hysteria\"\" has been in use for over 2,000 years and its definition has become broaderand more diffuse over time. In modern psychology and psychiatry, hysteria is a feature of hysterical disorders in which a patient experiences physical symptoms that have a psychological, rather than an organic, cause; and histrionic personality disorder characterized by excessive emotions, dramatics, and attention-seeking behavior. Description Hysterical disorders Patients with hysterical disorders, such as conversion and somatization disorder experiencephysical symptoms that have no organic cause. Conversion disorder affects motor and sensoryfunctions, while somatization affects the gastrointestinal, nervous, cardiopulmonary, or reproductive systems. These patients are not \"\"faking\"\" their ailments, as the symptoms are veryreal to them. Disorders with hysteric features typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood. Histrionic personality disorder Histrionic personality disorder has a prevalence of approximately 2-3% of the general population.

Conversion disorder Specialty Psychiatry Causes Stress Treatment to comfort Deaths 0Conversion disorder ( CD) is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression. Conversion disorder was retained in DSM-5, but given the subtitle functional neurological symptom disorder. The new criteria cover the same range of symptoms, but remove the requirements for a psychological stressor to be present and for feigning to be disproved. The theory of conversion disorder stems from ancient Egypt, and was formerly known as \"\" hysteria \"\". The concept of conversion disorder came to prominence at the end of the 19th century, when the neurologists Jean-Martin Charcot and Sigmund Freud and psychologist Pierre Janet focused their studies on the subject. Before their studies, people with hysteria were often believed to be malingering. ["

Catharsis (from Greek κάθαρσις katharsis meaning \"\"purification\"\" or \"\"cleansing\"\") is the purification and purgation of emotions—particularly pity and fear—through art [1] or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration. [ 2] [3] It is a metaphor originally used by Aristotle in the Poetics, comparing the effects of tragedy on the mind of a spectator to the effect of a cathartic on the body.

Nowhere does Aristotle explain the meaning of \"\"catharsis\"\" as he is using that term in the definition of tragedy in the Poetics (1449b21-28). G. F. Else argues that traditional, widely held interpretations of catharsis as \"\"purification\"\" or \"\"purgation\"\" have no basis in the text of the Poetics, but are derived from the use of catharsis in other Aristotelian and non-Aristotelian contexts. [ 7] For this reason, a number of diverse interpretations of the meaning of this term have arisen. The term is often discussed along with Aristotle's concept of anagnorisis. D. W. Lucas, in an authoritative edition of the Poetics, comprehensively covers the various nuances inherent in the meaning of the term in an Appendix devoted to \"\"Pity, Fear, and Katharsis\"\". [ 8] Lucas recognizes the possibility of catharsis bearing some aspect of the meaning of \"\"purification, purgation, and 'intellectual clarification'\"\" although his discussion of these terms is not always, or perhaps often, in the precise form with which other influential scholars have treated them."

Somatoform disorders are marked by persistent physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by a medical condition, substance abuse, or other mental disorder, and seem to stem from psychological issues or conflicts. The DSM-IV-TR classifies conversion disorder as one of the somatoform disorders, first classified as a group of mental disorders by the DSM III in 1980. Other terms that are sometimes used for conversion disorder include pseudoneurologic syndrome, hysterical neurosis , and psychogenic disorder. Conversion disorder is a major reason for visits to primary care practitioners. One study of health care utilization estimates that 25–72% of office visits to primary care doctors involve psychological distress that takes the form of somatic (physical) symptoms. Another study estimates that at least 10% of all medical treatments and diagnostic services are ordered for patients with no evidence of organic disease. Conversion disorder carries a high economic price tag. Patients who convert their emotional problems into physical symptoms spend nine times as much for health care as people who do not somatosize; and 82% of adults with conversion disorder stop working because of their symptoms. The annual bill for conversion disorder in the United States comes to $20 billion, not counting absenteeism from work and disability payments."

Conversion disorder Specialty Psychiatry Causes Stress Treatment to comfort Deaths 0 [ edit on Wikidata]Conversion disorder ( CD) is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression. Conversion disorder was retained in DSM-5, but given the subtitle functional neurological symptom disorder. The new criteria cover the same range of symptoms, but remove the requirements for a psychological stressor to be present and for feigning to be disproved. The theory of conversion disorder stems from ancient Egypt, and was formerly known as \"\" hysteria \"\". The concept of conversion disorder came to prominence at the end of the 19th century, when the neurologists Jean-Martin Charcot and Sigmund Freud and psychologist Pierre Janet focused their studies on the subject. Before their studies, people with hysteria were often believed to be malingering. ["

First laid out by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century, psychoanalytic theory has undergone many refinements since his work. Psychoanalytic theory came to full prominence in the last third of the twentieth century as part of the flow of critical discourse regarding psychological treatments after the 1960s, long after Freud's death in 1939, [1] and its validity is now widely disputed or rejected. [ 2] [3] Freud had ceased his analysis of the brain and his physiological studies and shifted his focus to the study of the mind and the related psychological attributes making up the mind, and on treatment using free association and the phenomena of transference. His study emphasized the recognition of childhood events that could influence the mental functioning of adults. His examination of the genetic and then the developmental aspects gave the psychoanalytic theory its characteristics. [ 4] Starting with his publication of The Interpretation of Dreams in 1899, his theories began to gain prominence.

Related to Psychogenic amnesia: psychogenic fugue, retrograde amnesia, multiple personality disorder, anterograde amnesia Amnesia Definition Amnesia refers to the loss of memory. Memory loss may result from two-sided (bilateral)damage to parts of the brain vital for memory storage, processing, or recall (the limbic system,including the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe). Description Amnesia can be a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases; however, people whoseprimary symptom is memory loss (amnesiacs), typically remain lucid and retain their sense of self. They may even be aware that they suffer from a memory disorder. People who experience amnesia have been instrumental in helping brain researchers determinehow the brain processes memory. Until the early 1970s, researchers viewed memory as a singleentity. Memory of new experiences, motor skills, past events, and previous conditioning weregrouped together in one system that relied on a specific area of the brain. If all memory were stored in the same way, it would be reasonable to deduce that damage to thespecific brain area would cause complete memory loss."

Freud had two half-brothers some 20 years older than himself. His family moved to Vienna when he was four years old, and though he often claimed he hated the city, he lived there until it was occupied by Germany in 1938. Freud's family background was Jewish, though his father was a freethinker and Freud himself an avowed atheist. Freud was a good student, and very ambitious. Medicine and law were the professions then open to Jewish men, and in 1873 he entered the University of Vienna medical school. He was interested in science above all; the idea of practicing medicine was slightly repugnant to him. He hoped to go into neurophysiological research, but pure research was hard to manage in those days unless you were independently wealthy. Freud was engaged and needed to be able to support a family before he could marry, and so he determined to go into private practice with a specialty in neurology."

"text": "\"Hysteria, medicine and misdiagnosis RICHARD WEBSTER From Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis (Revised edition, Harper Collins 1996). This essay combines a section from the opening of Chapter 5 of Why Freud Was Wrong with the Appendix ('The Diagnosis of \"\"Hysteria\"\"') which was originally written as a continuation of that section. The book itself also contains two lengthy chapters on Charcot - 'Hypnotism and Hysteria' and 'Charcot's Mistake'. For an account of the role played by misdiagnosis in the development of psychoanalysis, see the extract from my Freud (Weidenfeld, 2003): Freud, Charcot and hysteria. For a recent long but uncompleted essay, see Hysteria revisited (2007). ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY HELD misconceptions about the history of psychoanalysis is the belief that Freud’s early patients came to him because they were suffering from emotional difficulties or because they displayed symptoms which clearly had a psychological origin. The reality was very different. A large proportion of the patients whom Freud treated during his early years in private practice had initially sought medical advice because they were suffering from physical symptoms; they had enlisted the help of a physician for no other reason than that they believed themselves to be ill. Among their symptoms were headaches, muscular pain, neuralgia, gastric pain, tics, vomiting, clonic spasms, petit mal, epileptoid convulsions, and a host of other physical reactions. [ 1] It was Freud who, by either making or confirming a diagnosis of hysteria, came to the conclusion that the origin of these symptoms was to be found in his patients’ emotional lives – and specifically in the traumatic events which had supposedly given rise to their illnesses."

"text": "\"On this page History Examination Diagnosis Distribution of symptoms Precipitants of symptoms Associated symptoms Clinical setting Etiologies of \"\"numbness\"\"Peripheral causes Central causes Summary Questions Chapter 13 - Evaluation of the patient with \"\"numbness\"\"Introduction Sensory complaints, and particularly the complaint of “numbness,” are common in neurologic patients. However, evaluation of such sensory problems can be quite frustrating and difficult, particularly due to the subjective nature of the symptom and the range of conditions that can cause it. Additionally, high levels of somatic awareness amongst patients with psychiatric illness make this a common symptom in psychiatric disorders. The evaluation is further complicated by frequent complaints of numbness and tingling amongst patients with certain chronic and diffuse pain problems, such as fibromyalgia. Therefore, it is essential that the evaluation proceed systematically, but always in the context of patient's presentation and associated signs and symptoms. History The history in the patient with “numbness” is extremely important. First of all, as with most neurologic complaints, you must determine what the patient means by “numbness.” Some patients are describing loss of sensitivity (anesthesia or hypesthesia) or distorted sensations (paresthesia), which is often described as tingling. Actual loss of sensitivity is more likely to represent true damage to sensory pathways in the nervous system, while paresthesia has a much broader differential. Dysesthesia, that is the perception of an unpleasant (often burning) sensation or allodynia (the perception of innocuous stimuli as being painful) may result from damage to the nervous system or, more commonly, be the manifestation of an underlying painful condition."

Ideas and Interests21st century psychologists are primarily interested in Charcot's research into the causes of Hysteria. Although this disorder expressed itself differently in each patient, most suffered a combination of physical and psychological symptoms, which could include delirium, paralysis, rigidity and contraction of muscles, blindness, inability to speak, loss of feeling, vomiting, hemorrhaging, seizures, joint deformity and distended abdomens. Many contemporary physicians accused the hysterical patients of malingering and fraud, but Charcot was convinced that the patients believed that their symptoms were real, and that the physical symptoms were indicative of a genuine psychological problem (Fancher, 1985, p. 53). To investigate his hypothesis, Charcot combined his traditionally meticulous diagnostic methods with novel experimental techniques involving hypnotism, magnetism and electricity. Although modern science acknowledges that both his methods and his conclusions were flawed, he is still recognized as a pioneer in the effort to link physiological and mental processes (Goetz et al., 1995, p. 197-198). Charcot is also famous for his theatrical teaching style. He replaced traditional hospital rounds at the Salpêtrière with clinical demonstrations and patient interviews in the hospital amphitheater."

"text": "\"Kidney Reabsorption Prev NEXTOnce inside the lumen of the nephron, small molecules, such as ions, glucose and amino acids, get reabsorbed from the filtrate: Specialized proteins called transporters are located on the membranes of the various cells of the nephron. These transporters grab the small molecules from the filtrate as it flows by them. Each transporter grabs only one or two types of molecules. For example, glucose is reabsorbed by a transporter that also grabs sodium. Transporters are concentrated in different parts of the nephron. For example, most of the Na transporters are located in the proximal tubule, while fewer ones are spread out through other segments. Some transporters require energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate ( active transport ), while others don't ( passive transport ). Water gets reabsorbed passively by osmosis in response to the buildup of reabsorbed Na in spaces between the cells that form the walls of the nephron. Other molecules get reabsorbed passively when they are caught up in the flow of water (solvent drag). Reabsorption of most substances is related to the reabsorption of Na, either directly, via sharing a transporter, or indirectly via solvent drag, which is set up by the reabsorption of Na."

Each kidney has over one million nephrons that are responsible for removing waste products from blood and maintaining water, salt and p H balance in the body. This vital job results in the formation of urine. 1. Afferent Arteriole The afferent arteriole receives blood rich in oxygen from the renal artery. This blood is transported to the glomerulus of the nephron where it is pressure filtered. 2. Glomerulus The glomerulus (Latin glomus=ball) is a knotted up capillary that contains small pores. The plasma of the blood and the small molecules contained in plasma are pressure filtered into the Bowman's capsule. Large blood proteins and formed elements like blood cells and platlets are too big to be pressure filtered and remain in the arteriole."

There are several classes of diuretics, each with a different mechanism of action. The main classes of diuretics and their mechanisms are described below. Loop diuretics These are the most effective type of diuretic, leading to the excretion of up to 20% of the filtered salt (sodium chloride) and water. Usually, only around 0.4% of the filtered sodium passes into the urine during renal reabsorption. The agents prevent the body from reabsorbing sodium at the ascending loop of Henle in the nephron. This sodium is then excreted, along with the water that follows it. Examples of drugs in this class include furosemide, ethacrynic acid, torsemide and bumetanide. Thiazide diuretics Drugs of this class inhibit the sodium-chloride symporter, preventing the retention of water as well as sodium."

"text": "Anatomy of the Kidneys Understanding how the urinary system helps maintain homeostasis by removing harmful substances from the blood and regulating water balance in the body is an important part of physiology. Your kidneys, which are the main part of the urinary system, are made up of millions of nephrons that act as individual filtering units and are complex structures themselves. The ureters, urethra, and urinary bladder complete this intricate system. The urinary system helps maintain homeostasis by regulating water balance and by removing harmful substances from the blood. The blood is filtered by two kidneys, which produce urine, a fluid containing toxic substances and waste products. From each kidney, the urine flows through a tube, the ureter, to the urinary bladder, where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through another tube, the urethra. The kidneys are surrounded by three layers of tissue: The renal fascia is a thin, outer layer of fibrous connective tissue that surrounds each kidney (and the attached adrenal gland) and fastens it to surrounding structures. The adipose capsule is a middle layer of adipose (fat) tissue that cushions the kidneys. The renal capsule is an inner fibrous membrane that prevents the entrance of infections. Inside the kidney, three major regions are distinguished, as shown in Figure 1: The renal cortex borders the convex side."

"text": "Nephron (Glomerulus and Tubule) Structure, Diagram, Functions Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The main function of the kidney is to filter fluid from the blood and concentrate the solution of waste materials which is passed out as urine. It can also control the levels of electrolytes and water that is lost in the urine or retained in the body thereby influencing blood volume and blood pressure. This ensures that the body is able to maintain a state of balance that is optimum for sustaining life (homeostasis). The kidney broadly has three main regions, an outer lying cortex, middle region known as the medulla and inner pelvis. The renal cortex and medulla is where the main processes of urine production occurs. The urine then accumulates in the renal pelvis and is directed towards the ureter, a narrow tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. What is the nephron? The nephron is the main functional unit of the kidney which is responsible for filtering the blood and concentrating the solution to produce urine. In the process, macronutrients, electrolytes and the required amount of water are retained while waste substances, excess electrolytes, micronutrients and toxins are expelled. There are some 1 million nephrons in each kidney but this number gradually decreases with age or more rapidly with certain diseases."

In order to serve these purposes, the chemical composition of the blood must be carefully controlled. Blood contains particles of many different sizes and types, including cells, proteins, dissolved ions, and organic waste products. The largest responsibility for maintaining the chemistry of the blood falls on the kidneys, a pair of organs located just behind the lining of the abdominal cavity. The kidneys remove harmful particles from the blood, regulate the blood’s ionic concentrations, and retain essential particles in the blood (Figure 1). They act like dialysis units for blood, making use of the different sizes of the particles and specially maintained concentration gradients. Blood passes through the membrane-lined tubules of the kidney, which are analogous to the semi-permeable dialysis bag used in Experiment 2. Figure 1: Kidney Anatomy Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. In the kidney, the blood undergoes filtration and dialysis to separate the particles that will be removed from the body (through the ureter to the bladder) from those that will be returned to the circulating blood (through the renal vein)."

"text": "\"Teaching Osmosis and Diffusion through Kidney Dialysisby Amanda Reasoner To Guide Entry Send / Read Comments Introduction Rationale Background Information Strategies Activities Summary: Implementing District Standards: Bibliography: Notes Introduction The idea of an artificial kidney, or any artificial organ for that matter, seems like such a complex idea only to be understood by those that have specialized in fields such as nephrology or biomedical engineering. The kidney is such a complex organ. How can its function be duplicated, let alone explained to medical laypeople? Amazingly, kidney dialysis, which for all practical purposes is an artificial kidney that functions in removing solutes and toxins from the blood, is actually not as complex as one might imagine. In fact, the mechanism by which dialysis works involves simple diffusion and osmosis, which is generally taught to children in the United States as early as middle school. The study of artificial organs can seem intimidating and beyond the comprehension of those with only a general knowledge of science. However, the study of artificial kidneys provides an amazing opportunity to display how even the most fundamental and seemingly simple concepts in science can be used to revolutionize modern medicine. Imagine a middle schooler's, or even a high schooler's excitement, when they realize they have the capability and background knowledge to create their own version of kidney dialysis. Rationale The purpose of this unit is to teach students about the cellular processes of osmosis and diffusion. The concept of osmosis and diffusion is vital to understanding the nature of organisms and how they function, yet these have also proven to be among the most difficult concepts to get students to understand."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology Can any one explain ultra filtration and reabsortion in kidney? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: ultra filtration and reabsorption in kidney is carried out by its functional unit called nephron. Ultra filtration occurs between the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule of nephron. The larger afferent arteriole than efferent arteriole speeds up the ultra filtration. The presence of podocytes on the membrane of Bowman's capsule ease the filtration too. Basically, ultra filtration means the diffusion of blood, including plasma to nephron to be filtered. Red blood cell and plasma protein cannot pass thru via ultra filtration because their size are too big. However reabsorption including the active and passive transport. Water is reabsorped by osmosis or via aquaporin, if present. Ions (e.g: Na+) is reabsorped by active transport while glucose, amino acids and small hydrophobic molecule can reansorbed by diffusion or facilitated diffusion."

Parties 193Depositary United States Languages Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish Charter of the United Nations at Wikisource The Charter of the United Nations (also known as the UN Charter) of 1945 is the foundational treaty of the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization. [ 1] The UN Charter articulated a commitment to uphold human rights of citizens and outlined a broad set of principles relating to achieving ‘higher standards of living’, addressing ‘economic, social, health, and related problems,’ and ‘universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion .’ [ 2] As a charter, it is a constituent treaty, and all members are bound by its articles. Furthermore, Article 103 of the Charter states that obligations to the United Nations prevail over all other treaty obligations. [ 1] [3]The Charter was opened for signature on 26 June 1945 and was signed at the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center in San Francisco, United States, on 26 June 1945, by 50 of the 51 original member countries ( Poland, the other original member, which was not represented at the conference, signed it two months later). It entered into force on 24 October 1945, after being ratified by the original five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council —the Republic of China (after 1949, located in Taiwan and was later replaced by the People's Republic of China ), the Provisional Government of the French Republic (later replaced by the Fourth Republic and then the Fifth Republic ), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (later replaced by the Russian Federation ), the United Kingdom, and the United States —and a majority of the other signatories. In the meantime, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki took place on 6 and 9 August, respectively; the introduction of this new weapon of warfare completely changed the security environment in which the UN Charter was promulgated. Most countries in the world have now ratified the Charter.24 October was later declared as United Nations Day by the United Nations General Assembly.

The five largest banks in the United States at December 31, 2011, were JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. [ 1] In December 2011, the five largest banks' assets were equal to 56 percent of the U. S. economy, compared with 43 percent five years earlier. The U. S. finance industry comprised only 10% of total non-farm business profits in 1947, but it grew to 50% by 2010. Over the same period, finance industry income as a proportion of GDP rose from 2.5% to 7.5%, and the finance industry's proportion of all corporate income rose from 10% to 20%. The mean earnings per employee hour in finance relative to all other sectors has closely mirrored the share of total U. S. income earned by the top 1% income earners since 1930. The mean salary in New York City's finance industry rose from $80,000 in 1981 to $360,000 in 2011, while average New York City salaries rose from $40,000 to $70,000. In 1988, there were about 12,500 U. S. banks with less than $300 million in deposits, and about 900 with more deposits, but by 2012, there were only 4,200 banks with less than $300 million in deposits in the United States, and over 1,800 with more. American banking is closely linked to the UK; in 2014, the biggest U. S. banks held almost 70% of their on and off-balance sheet foreign assets there.

Engineering technology education is even more \"\"applied\"\" and less theoretical than engineering science education, though in a broad sense both have a focus on practical application. Engineering Technologists often assist professional engineers but after years of experience they can also lead engineers. [ 1] Like engineers, areas where engineering technologists work can include product design (including improvement), fabrication, and testing. Also as with engineers, engineering technologists sometimes rise to senior management positions in industry, or become entrepreneurs. Engineering technology often overlap with many of the same general areas (e.g. design/development, testing), but the focus is even more on application than in engineering (which is, in a somewhat different sense, also about application). Technologists are more likely than engineers to focus on (post-development) implementation or operation of a technology. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) summarizes the distinction as being that engineers are trained more with conceptual skills to \"\"function as designers,\"\" while technologists \"\"apply others' designs.\"\" [ 2] The mathematics and sciences, as well as other technical courses, in technology programs, tend to be taught with more application-based examples, whereas engineering coursework provides a more theoretical foundation in math and science (because those are the very subjects that engineers apply directly)."

On March 5 th 1946, Winston Churchill made his ‘iron curtain’ speech at Fulton, Missouri, USA. The speech was officially entitled “The Sinews of Peace” but became better known as the “Iron Curtain” speech. It set the tone for the early years of the Cold War. Some saw it as unnecessary warmongering while others believed it was another example of how well Churchill was able to grasp an international situation. “I am glad to come to Westminster College this afternoon, and am complimented that you should give me a degree.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Ex Post Facto\"\" redirects here. For the Star Trek episode, see Ex Post Facto (Star Trek: Voyager). An ex post facto law (corrupted from Latin: ex postfacto, lit. ' out of the aftermath') is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law. In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed; it may aggravate a crime by bringing it into a more severe category than it was in when it was committed; it may change the punishment prescribed for a crime, as by adding new penalties or extending sentences; or it may alter the rules of evidence in order to make conviction for a crime likelier than it would have been when the deed was committed. Conversely, a form of ex post facto law commonly called an amnesty law may decriminalize certain acts. A pardon has a similar effect, in a specific case instead of a class of cases. Other legal changes may alleviate possible punishments (for example by replacing the death sentence with lifelong imprisonment) retroactively. Such legal changes are also known by the Latin term in mitius. Some common-law jurisdictions do not permit retroactive criminal legislation, though new precedent generally applies to events that occurred before the judicial decision."

It is elevated to the foremost foreign policy problem of the states. The terrorists' power is growing day by day. The new and faster modes of transportation and communication technologies have made it easier for the terrorists to reach their targets and strike them without any difficulty. This has magnified the threat of terrorism and made it more sinister than it has been in the past. Although the menace is very dangerous and terribly affecting our daily lives, the states and even the academics have so far failed to comprehensively define and build a consensus on the term 'terrorism'. The analysts face difficulty when it is considered that some forms and classes of terrorism are justifiable whereas others are not. ["

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture Eight Points of the Atlantic Charter Signed by Churchill and Roosevelt A Vision for a Post-World War II World Share Flipboard Email Print Franklin D. Roosevelt. Getty Imagesby Martin Kelly Updated June 08, 2017The Atlantic Charter (August 14, 1941) was an agreement between the United States of America and Great Britain that established the vision of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill for a post-World War II world. One of the interesting aspects of the charter that was signed on August 14, 1941, was that the United States of America was not even a part of the war at the time. However, Roosevelt felt strongly enough about what the world should be like that he put forth this agreement with Winston Churchill. The Atlantic Charter in Context According to the United Nations website:\"\"Coming from the two great democratic leaders of the day and implying the full moral support of the United States, the Atlantic Charter created a profound impression on the embattled Allies. It came as a message of hope to the occupied countries, and it held out the promise of a world organization based on the enduring verities of international morality. That it had little legal validity did not detract from its value. If, in the ultimate analysis, the value of any treaty is the sincerity of its spirit, no affirmation of common faith between peace-loving nations could be other than important. This document was not a treaty between the two powers. Nor was it a final and formal expression of peace aims."

Is Hawaii Really a State of the Union? [ NOTE: The following essay discusses, as a basis for independence, how Hawaii illegally became a state in 1959, but it is important to keep in mind that Hawaii's independence was recognized via treaty by the United States (as well as all major nations of the world in the 19th century) and thus the situation with Hawaii is distinct from all other non-self-governing territories which were placed under Article 73 of the UN Charter. Hawaii should never have been a territory/colony of the United States, and it is not required to undergo a formal decolonization process at this time in order to restore independence. The illegality of the overthrow and annexation are well documented in the United State's own official apology, so the purpose of this essay is to counter the assumption that the 1959 statehood vote legitimized the United States' occupation of Hawaii. ] The following information provides an historical perspective on how Hawaii came to be integrated into the United States as a state of the Union, and the fact that this status is not and has never been legally valid. Obviously America claims that Hawaii is part of their country, and most people, in Hawaii, on the 'mainland' and around the world, have tended to accept that as so. The common understanding is that in 1959, a plebiscite was held in which the people of Hawaii voted to become a state of the Union, and on August 18, 1959, Hawaii was admitted to the Union. What led up to this event? In 1945, at the end of World War II, the United Nations was established. In the Charter of the UN, a special provision was made for certain areas of land, including Hawaii, which was placed under CHAPTER XI, DECLARATION REGARDING NON-SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORIESArticle 73\"\"Members of the United Nations which have or assume responsibilities for the administration of territories whose peoples have not yet attained a full measure of self-government recognize the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of these territories are paramount, and accept as a sacred trust the obligation to promote to the utmost, within the system of international peace and security established by the present Charter, the well-being of the inhabitants of these territories, and, to this end:a."

"text": "\" [ Note: In this article, the word \"\"Church\"\" does not refer to any physical building, but refers to the whole body of believers in Christ. The word \"\"church\"\" is translated from the Greek word ekklesia, which literally means \"\"assembly\"\" or \"\"congregation\"\" of people; it does not refer to any physical building. Keep that in mind when reading this article] Joshua challenged the people: \"\"choose you this day whom ye will serve.\"\" ( Joshua 24:15). Today, government is demanding a similar choice. Today the world assumes that the church is the church because it is registered with, and defined by, the State. The following is intended merely to provide an overview, an introduction to the whole issue of the Church and incorporation. In addition, its purpose is not meant to be a criticism of the many well meaning Christian men and women who have laboured for the Lord in these matters, but simply as a supplemental guide for the avoidance of \"\"rendering unto Caesar\"\" that which is not and should not be his. We shall endeavor to explore the relationship between, churches and corporations. So what exactly is incorporation?"

"text": "\"Traditionally, international law has defined very few crimes, proscribing only acts generally viewed as a serious threat to the interests of the international community as a whole or to its most fundamental values. For centuries piracy has been recognized as an international crime under customary international law. Slave trading joined the list at the end of the nineteenth century when that practice was outlawed by treaty. As technological advances, along with increasing trade and globalization, have made the world seem smaller, more such crimes have gained recognition. The basic jurisdiction of any sovereign state includes the right to define and punish crimes. The U. S. Constitution provides (Art. I, sec. 8, col. 10) that Congress shall have power \"\"to define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Laws of Nations.\"\" Under this provision, Congress may identify and declare criminal under U. S. law, acts that are criminal under international law."

"text": "The 13 Colonies in the Revolutionary War Rebecca Beatrice Brooks December 12, 2017 No Comments The 13 colonies were one of the many belligerents who fought in the Revolutionary War in the late 18th century. The 13 colonies were established in North America by Great Britain during the 17th century. The colonies were established to harvest raw materials, such as lumber, fur and fish, necessary for Britain’s growing empire. The 13 colonies during the Revolutionary War-era were: Province of New Hampshire Province of Massachusetts Bay Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Connecticut Colony Province of New York Province of New Jersey Province of Pennsylvania Delaware Colony Province of Maryland Colony and Dominion of Virginia Province of North Carolina Province of South Carolina Province of Georgia The 13 Colonies Before the Revolutionary War: Three types of governments existed in the colonies prior to the American Revolution: royal, charter and proprietary. Royal colonies were governed directly by the British government through a royal governor appointed by the Crown. The royal colonies were: New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Charter colonies were granted to businesses. The business owner created the laws but they were required to base their laws on English law at the time. The charter colonies were: Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay Colony and Rhode Island. Proprietary colonies had charters that granted ownership of the colony to one person or a family."

"text": "\"I am very glad indeed to come to Westminster College this afternoon, and I am complimented that you should give me a degree from an institution whose reputation has been so solidly established. The name \"\"Westminster\"\" is somehow familiar to me. I seem to have heard of it before. Indeed, it was at Westminster that I received a very large part of my education in politics, dialectic, rhetoric, and one or two other things. In fact we have both been educated at the same, or similar, or, at any rate, kindred establishments. It is also an honor, perhaps almost unique, for a private visitor to be introduced to an academic audience by the President of the United States. Amid his heavy burdens, duties, and responsibilities - unsought but not recoiled from - the President has traveled a thousand miles to dignify and magnify our meeting here today and to give me an opportunity of addressing this kindred nation, as well as my own countrymen across the ocean, and perhaps some other countries too. The President has told you that it is his wish, as I am sure it is yours, that I should have full liberty to give my true and faithful counsel in these anxious and baffling times. I shall certainly avail myself of this freedom, and feel the more right to do so because any private ambitions I may have cherished in my younger days have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams. Let me, however, make it clear that I have no official mission or status of any kind, and that I speak only for myself."

[ 1] [2] [3] [4] Professional degrees may be either graduate or undergraduate entry, depending on the profession concerned and the country, and may be classified as bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees. For a variety of reasons, professional degrees may bear the name of a different level of qualification from their classification in qualifications frameworks, e.g. some UK professional degrees are named bachelor's but are at master's level, while some Australian and Canadian professional degrees have the name \"\"doctor\"\" but are classified as master's or bachelor's degrees.

[ 9] These were followed shortly afterwards by doctorates in canon law, and then in the thirteenth century by doctorates in medicine, grammar, logic and philosophy. These mediaeval doctorates remained, however, essentially teaching qualifications, with their major importance being the ius ubique docendi – the right to teach anywhere.

Incorporated as The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn is one of 14 founding members of the Association of American Universities and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. [ 5]Benjamin Franklin, Penn's founder, advocated an educational program that focused as much on practical education for commerce and public service as on the classics and theology, though his proposed curriculum was never adopted. The university coat of arms features a dolphin on the red chief, adopted directly from the Franklin family's own coat of arms. [ 6] Penn was one of the first academic institutions to follow a multidisciplinary model pioneered by several European universities, concentrating multiple \"\" faculties \"\" (e.g., theology, classics, medicine) into one institution. [ 7] It was also home to many other educational innovations. The first school of medicine in North America ( Perelman School of Medicine, 1765), the first collegiate business school ( Wharton School, 1881) and the first \"\" student union \"\" building and organization ( Houston Hall, 1896) [8] were founded at Penn. With an endowment of $12.21 billion (2017), Penn had the seventh largest endowment of all colleges in the United States. [ 9] All of Penn's schools exhibit very high research activity. ["
