The TMB One Solution is stable, and offers high sensitivity and consistent performance. Product Details Document & Procotols Shipment TMB (3,3',5,5' -tetramethybezidine) is commonly used in HRP-based ELISA (emzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). This TMB reagent is formulated as all-in-one, ready to use HRP substrate. When HRP enzyme reaction occurs, the substrate reagent produces a blue color reaction product. Normally, the enzyme reaction should be stopped after 5-10 minutes by adding diluted sulfuric acid, resulting a change to yellow color which is stable for optical density adsorbance reading. Quantitative measurement should be carried out using microplate reader. The absorbance of yellow color should be measured at 450nm or 405nm. Without stopping step in the reatction, the blue color may be read at 655nm."

"text": "Freshwater Aquariums & Habitat Purpose and Types of Aquarium Substrate By Shirlie Sharpe Updated 02/23/18Share Pin Email Kazuo Ogawa/Aflo / Getty Images With rare exception, aquariums are set up with some sort of substrate covering the tank bottom. The substrate is available in a variety of color and materials, giving aquarium owners a wide range of options when setting up an aquarium. Because the substrate isn't as easy to change as other decors in the aquarium, it's wise to spend some time choosing the type and color of the substrate before setting up the tank. Purpose of Substrate The substrate serves several purposes; some are key to a healthy habitat, while others are merely aesthetic. The substrate serves a role in the nitrogen cycle by acting as a medium in which beneficial bacteria colonize and grow. Although the substrate is not the only host for these important bacteria, it is where a significant number of them reside. In addition to supporting bacterial colonies, the substrate is also a medium for live plants to take root and draw nutrients. Special substrates are available that provide key nutrients for live plants. Substrate creates a more natural habitat for the fish, and it's particularly important for fish that like to burrow. Bottom-dwelling species enjoy rooting in the substrate for tidbits of food that have fallen there."

Buurman 2, *+ Author Affiliations*Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht, Department of General Surgery, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands; and†Department of Biochemical Pharmacology, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany Next Section Abstract Chylomicrons have been shown to protect against endotoxin-induced lethality. LPS-binding protein (LBP) is involved in the inactivation of bacterial toxin by lipoproteins. The current study examined the interaction among LBP, chylomicrons, and bacterial toxin. LBP was demonstrated to associate with chylomicrons and enhance the amount of LPS binding to chylomicrons in a dose-dependent fashion. In addition, LBP accelerated LPS binding to chylomicrons. This LBP-induced interaction of LPS with chylomicrons prevented endotoxin toxicity, as demonstrated by reduced cytokine secretion by PBMC. When postprandial circulating concentrations of chylomicrons were compared with circulating levels of low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, and high density lipoprotein, chylomicrons exceeded the other lipoproteins in LPS-inactivating capacity. Furthermore, highly purified lipoteichoic acid, an immunostimulatory component of Gram-positive bacteria, was detoxified by incubation with LBP and chylomicrons. In conclusion, our results indicate that LBP associates with chylomicrons and enables chylomicrons to rapidly bind bacterial toxin, thereby preventing cell activation. Besides a role in the detoxification of bacterial toxin present in the circulation, we believe that LBP-chylomicron complexes may be part of a local defense mechanism of the intestine against translocated bacterial toxin."

"text": "\"Si O2: Properties and Applications The Universal Compound Silicon dioxide (silica) is one of the most commonly encountered substances in both daily life and in electronics manufacturing. Crystalline silicon dioxide (in several forms: quartz, cristobalite, tridymite) is an important constituent of a great many minerals and gemstones, both in pure form and mixed with related oxides. Beach sand is mostly silica. The working of silica into glass (usually by the addition of natron -- sodium oxide -- to lower the melting point) has been known since antiquity, with polished glass lenses in eyeglasses and optical instruments dating back more than 5 centuries. The whole of planar electronics processing and the modern IC industry has been made possible by the unique properties of silicon dioxide. It is the only native oxide of a common semiconductor which is stable in water and at elevated temperatures, an excellent electrical insulator, a mask to common diffusing species, and capable of forming a nearly perfect electrical interface with its substrate. Deposited silicon dioxide, almost always by CVD approaches, is almost as old as thermal growth on the substrate, and has been employed in various ways in IC fabrication due to its familiarity, versatility, and reliability. Let us examine this interesting material. Si O 2 is formed by strong, directional covalent bonds, and has a well-defined local structure: four oxygen atoms are arrayed at the corners of a tetrahedron around a central silicon atom: (click link for an animated version) Si O2 The oxygen atoms are electronegative, and some of the silicon valence electron density is transferred to the oxygen neighbors, but it is incorrect to regard the material as a salt of a Si [+4] ion with O [-2] ions, as is sometimes seen in the literature: the directionality of the bonds is essential to the observed structures. The bond angles around O-Si-O are essentially the tetrahedral angle, 109 degrees; the Si-O distance is 1.61 Å (0.16 nm) with very little variation."

Glass tanks are cheaper, easier to keep clean (since they can easily be washed with hot water) and easier to heat with a heat mat (the heat mat can be placed underneath). If opting for a glass tank, do not buy a tall one and ensure that a proper vivarium style hood is used, both of these measures will help with ventilation. The downside to glass tanks is that they cannot be stacked, so take up more room. It is also wise to use a background paper on glass tanks so that the leopard geckos do not feel exposed.

"text": "Back to Basics: What is an immunoassay? Introduction For over 40 years, immunoassays have been used in hospitals, laboratory medicine, and research to improve the health and well-being of humans and animals. Information gained by clinical immunoassay testing has shortened hospital stays and decreased the severity of illness by identifying and assessing the progression of disease, thereby leading to improved therapeutic choices. In life science research, immunoassays are used in the study of biological systems by tracking different proteins, hormones, and antibodies. In industry, immunoassays are used to detect contaminants in food and water, and in quality control to monitor specific molecules used during product processing. What is an immunoassay or ELISA? Immunoassays are quick and accurate tests that can be used on-site and in the laboratory to detect specific molecules. Immunoassays rely on the inherent ability of an antibody to bind to the specific structure of a molecule. Antibodies are proteins generated by animals in response to the invasion of a foreign molecule (antigen) into the body. Antibodies are found in blood and tissue fluids and will bind to the antigen whenever it is encountered."

The rapid immunodetection method works well to quickly visualize higher abundance proteins. Standard immunodetection, however, offers higher sensitivity and requires less optimization for new sample types. Back to Top Standard Immunodetection Method Application Standard immunodetection is performed on blotted proteins directly after electrotransfer. ( If the membrane was dried after transfer, thoroughly wet the blot for 1 minute in methanol if using PVDF or Milli-Q water if using nitrocellulose before proceeding to immunodetection.) The unoccupied membrane binding sites on the wet blot are blocked with optimized reagents. The drawbacks of this method are the need for blocking and the total time requirement of over 4 hours. The advantage is that standard immunodetection may require less optimization for new sample types."

"text": "\"What is ELISA? ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a plate-based assay technique designed for detecting and quantifying peptides, proteins, antibodies and hormones. In an ELISA, an antigen must be immobilized to a solid surface and then complexed with an antibody that is linked to an enzyme. Detection is accomplished by assessing the conjugated enzyme activity via incubation with a substrate to produce a measureable product. The most crucial element of the detection strategy is a highly specific antibody-antigen interaction. ELISAs are typically performed in 96-well (or 384-well) polystyrene plates, which will passively bind antibodies and proteins. It is this binding and immobilization of reagents that makes ELISAs so easy to design and perform. Having the reactants of the ELISA immobilized to the microplate surface makes it easy to separate bound from non-bound material during the assay. This ability to wash away nonspecifically bound materials makes the ELISA a powerful tool for measuring specific analytes within a crude preparation.>>Did you know Boster can save you 50% on ELISA kits?

They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, the Galapagos penguin, found north of the equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans. Although almost all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they are not found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin live so far south. Several species are found in the temperate zone, and one species, the Galápagos penguin, lives near the equator. The largest living species is the emperor penguin ( Aptenodytes forsteri ): [1] on average, adults are about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (77 lb)."

[ 1]Several revisions in classifying the great apes have caused the use of the term \"\"hominid\"\" to vary over time. Its original meaning referred only to humans ( Homo) and their closest extinct relatives. That restrictive meaning has now been largely assumed by the term \"\" hominin \"\", which comprises all members of the human clade after the split from the chimpanzees ( Pan ). The current, 21st-century meaning of \"\"hominid\"\" includes all the great apes including humans. Usage still varies, however, and some scientists and laypersons still use \"\"hominid\"\" in the original restrictive sense; the scholarly literature generally shows the traditional usage until around the turn of the 21st century. [ 4]Within the taxon Hominidae, a number of extant and known extinct, that is, fossil, genera are grouped with the humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas in the subfamily Homininae; others with orangutans in the subfamily Ponginae (see classification graphic below)."

Organisms are grouped together into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super-group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum), class, order, family, genus and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the father of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorization of organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. With the advent of such fields of study as phylogenetics, cladistics, and systematics, the Linnaean system has progressed to a system of modern biological classification based on the evolutionary relationships between organisms, both living and extinct."

The seed, one of the most marvelous products of evolution, is so complex that all seed plants must be monophyletic. The vegetative tissues, particularly the stems, support that concept. Further confirmation comes from Chaw et al. ( 2000) who examined relationships among all living groups of seed plants based on nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial similarities. [ Read about the Seed Habit and its evolution]. Pearson (1995) illustrated the seed plants as forming an early radiation event of Pteridospermophytes that gave rise to two main branches. One line led to the rest of the Pteridospermophyta, the Cycadeoidophyta, and the Gnetophyta. The other branch led to the Coniferophyta, Ginkgophyta, Cycadophyta, and the Angiospermophyta. Curiously, the cycads in Pearson's scheme are closest to the flowering plants. However, his whole phylogenetic scheme for the seed plants seems unlikely to me because it runs counter to the evidence of morphology, development, and paleontology."

The eudicots, Eudicotidae or eudicotyledons are a clade of flowering plants that had been called tricolpates or non- magnoliid dicots by previous authors. The botanical terms were introduced in 1991 by evolutionary botanist James A. Doyle and paleobotanist Carol L. Hotton to emphasize the later evolutionary divergence of tricolpate dicots from earlier, less specialized, dicots. [ 1] The close relationships among flowering plants with tricolpate pollen grains was initially seen in morphological studies of shared derived characters. These plants have a distinct trait in their pollen grains of exhibiting three colpi or grooves paralleling the polar axis. Later molecular evidence confirmed the genetic basis for the evolutionary relationships among flowering plants with tricolpate pollen grains and dicotyledonous traits. The term means \"\"true dicotyledons\"\", as it contains the majority of plants that have been considered dicots and have characteristics of the dicots. The term \"\"eudicots\"\" has subsequently been widely adopted in botany to refer to one of the two largest clades of angiosperms (constituting over 70% of the angiosperm species), monocots being the other. The remaining angiosperms include magnoliids and what are sometimes referred to as basal angiosperms or paleodicots, but these terms have not been widely or consistently adopted, as they do not refer to a monophyletic group. The other name for the eudicots is tricolpates, a name which refers to the grooved structure of the pollen."

Scary predators, marine piscivores, late-surviving relics, and some unfortunate beasts burned alive in forest fires... Studies on temnospondyl phylogeny mostly agree that 'post-edopoid' temnospondyls form a clade, the most basal members of which include Capetus, Dendrerpeton and Balanerpeton ( Milner & Sequeira 1994, 1998, Holmes et al. 1998, Ruta et al. 2003a, b) [though some workers have found some of these taxa to be more basal than edopoids ( Steyer et al 2006 ]. In contrast to the condition in edopoids, the interpterygoid vacuities of 'post-edopoids' are rounded at their anterior ends, the jugal (the bone that forms the cheek region) is shortened, and the configuration of skull bones is overall less archaic and fish-like. Among these basal 'post-edopoids', Dendrerpeton (from the Late Carboniferous of Nova Scotia and Ireland) had a rather large skull with laterally facing orbits, a short body, and well-developed, robust limbs. It lacked lateral line canals and grew to c. 1 m. These features suggest that it was predominantly terrestrial ( Holmes et al. 1998 )."

During the Cambrian period, they were very common and diverse, probably filling a range of ecological roles and guilds, although their soft bodies meant that they were rarely preserved, except for lagerstätten and a few rare impressions. This means that their numbers and importance would have been underestimated, as with their contemporaries and distant cousins the /priapozoan worms, another important Cambrian group. If we add the protoarthropods - essentially specialised swimming and gilled lobopodians, this becomes even more the case. Because the conditions that allowed lagerstätten-type preservation were less common after the Cambrian, it seems that the early lobopodians [2] died out at the end of the Cambrian, but this was not the case, as rare instances have bene found at from the Ordovician and Silurian that hint at a greater diversity ( Whittle et al 2009)At some point though these early forms disappeared; perhaps a situation similar to the mid-Palaeozoic decline of trilobites and early echinoderms. Eventually, only two specialised lobopodian grade lineages remained, the onychophora, represented today by Peripatus and co, who took up a terrestrial lifestyle, and the tardigrades, enigmatic microscopic forms that independently evolved have many arthropod qualities. All three together are collectively known as \"\"lobopods\"\" or \"\"lobopodians\"\", and they differ from arthropods in not having evolved a hard jointed exoskeleton or efficient, articulated limbs.

Organisms are grouped together into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super-group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum), class, order, family, genus and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the father of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorization of organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. With the advent of such fields of study as phylogenetics, cladistics, and systematics, the Linnaean system has progressed to a system of modern biological classification based on the evolutionary relationships between organisms, both living and extinct."

Cladistic techniques do not assume any particular theory of evolution, only the concept of descent with modification. As such, cladistic methods are usefully applied to non-biological systems, including historical linguistics and textual criticism.

Unpitched percussion is typically used to maintain a rhythm or to provide accents, and its sounds are unrelated to the melody and harmony of the music. Within the orchestra unpitched percussion is termed auxiliary percussion, and this subsection of the percussion section includes all unpitched instruments of the orchestra however they are played, for example the pea whistle and siren. A common and typical example of an unpitched instrument is the snare drum, which is perceived as unpitched for three reasons: The snares produce sounds similar to white noise, masking definite frequencies. The drum heads produce inharmonic sounds. The strongest frequencies that are present are unrelated to pitched sounds produced by other instruments in the ensemble. Although the drum is tuned by the player, this tuning does not relate to the pitches of other instruments. The snare drum illustrates the three main ways in which a sound can be perceived as indeterminate in pitch: The sound may lack any fundamental frequency sufficiently loud to produce a sensation of pitch, for example a sound consisting of noise, or a mixture of sounds containing a great deal of such noise. The sound may be inharmonic, a mixture of sounds including some with conflicting fundamental frequencies. The sound of a freely resonating membrane such as a drum head, for example, contains strong overtones at irrational ratios to its fundamental, unlike a vibrating string whose overtones are at simple whole-number ratios to the fundamental.

The terms form a structural dichotomy in which they define each other by mutual exclusion: a consonance is what is not dissonant, and reciprocally. However, a finer consideration shows that the distinction forms a gradation, from the most consonant to the most dissonant.

"text": "Sound Sound waves, characterized by frequency and amplitude, are perceived uniquely by different organisms. Learning Objectives Describe the relationship of amplitude and frequency of a sound wave to attributes of sound Key Takeaways Key Points Sound waves are mechanical pressure waves that must travel through a medium and cannot exist in a vacuum. There are four main characteristics of a sound wave: frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude. Frequency is the number of waves per unit of time and is heard as pitch; high-frequency sounds are high-pitched, and low-frequency sounds are low-pitched. Most humans can perceive sounds with frequencies between 30 and 20,000 Hz; other animals, such as dolphins, can detect sounds at far higher frequencies. Amplitude, the dimension of a wave from peak to trough, is heard as volume; louder sounds have greater amplitudes than those of softer sounds. Key Termsfrequency: characterized as a periodic vibration that is audible; property of sound that most determines pitch and is measured in hertzamplitude: measure of a wave from its highest point to its lowest point; heard as volumeultrasound: sound frequencies above the human detectable ceiling of approximately 20,000 Hz Sound Auditory stimuli are sound waves, which are mechanical pressure waves that move through a medium, such as air or water. There are no sound waves in a vacuum since there are no air molecules for the waves to move through. The speed of sound waves differs based on altitude, temperature, and medium. At sea level and a temperature of 20º C (68º F), sound waves travel in the air at about 343 meters per second."

Flag What is the difference between harmonics and fundamental frequency? Answer by Jazz Harper Confidence votes 10.5KThe fundamental is the lowest frequency; the harmonics are all multiples of that frequency. For example, if you play a concert A (440Hz) on a trumpet, the harmonics of that tone would be at 880, 1320, 1760, 2200, 2640, 3080, 3520, 3960, 4400Hz, and so on. In most cases, people do not perceive the harmonics as separate pitches, but as part of the sound. They give the tone its distinctive timbre--in this example, the sound of a trumpet. However, if there are objects nearby, such as strings, bells or even glassware, which are resonant at one of the harmonic frequencies, they can be excited by the tone and will continue to \"\"ring\"\" after the note stops. A resonant filter can be used to pick out the harmonics, as well. The harmonics can also be visualized on an audio spectrometer. Harmonics are not limited to sound waves; they can be present in any periodic motion or waveform, including radio waves.8 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

From the tinkle of a bell to the slam of a door, any sound is a potential ingredient for the kinds of sound organization called music. The choices of sounds for music making have been severely limited in all places and periods by a diversity of physical, aesthetic, and cultural considerations. This article will analyze those involved in Western musical traditions. The fundamental distinction usually made has been between tone and noise, a distinction best clarified by referring to the physical characteristics of sound. Tone differs from noise mainly in that it possesses features that enable it to be regarded as autonomous. Noises are most readily identified, not by their character but by their sources; e.g., the noise of the dripping faucet, the grating chalk, or the squeaking gate.

This lesson will explore the concept of musical pitch, which is generally thought of as the 'highness' or 'lowness' of a sound. Together with amplitude, duration, and tone color, pitch is one of the four basic elements of all musical sounds. What Is Pitch? Pitch is the quality that allows us to classify a sound as relatively high or low. Pitch is determined by the frequency of sound wave vibrations. However, frequency is a precise scientific unit of measurement, while pitch, although defined by its frequency, also has a subjective component that takes into account the relative placement of the frequency within the context of an established tuning system and in relation to other frequencies. Frequency Sound is created by vibrations. If you strum a string on a guitar, the motion of your hand against the string will set the string in motion, causing it to vibrate."

Additional Speech-Language Pathology Flashcards Cards Term Infant Speech Perception Definition Infants learning language must be able to segment the speech they hear into meaningful phrases and words Speech perception ability, the ability to devote attention to the prosodic and phonetic regularities of speech, develops greatly over the first year Large patterns (rhythm) to smaller patterns (combinations of specific sounds)Term Using Prosodic Regularities Definition Prosodic characteristics: Frequency: pitch of sounds Duration: length of sounds Intensity: loudness of sounds Combinations produce distinguishable stress and intonation patterns that infants can detect. Stress: prominence placed on certain syllables of multi-syllabic words Intonation: prominence placed on certain syllables; applies to entire phrases and sentences Infants become familiar with the dominant stress patterns of one’s native language English: strong/weak stress (trochaic) patterns Preference for the dominant stress patterns of one’s language can help infants begin to isolate words in continuous speech Phonetic details of speech: Phonemes (speech sounds) Combinations of phonemes Infants who are not yet learning words devote greater attention to the phonetic details of speech Older children concentrate their efforts on word learning at the expense of fine phonetic detail (Stager & Werker, 1997)Term Detecting Non-native Phonetic Differences Definition Ability to notice fine phonetic detail not limited to one’s native language In the first year, infants are able to distinguish among the sounds of the world’s languages Adults do not possess this ability As infants develop and become attuned to the sounds they hear on a regular basis, their ability to distinguish non-native phonemic contrasts diminishes Term Detecting Phonotactic Regularities Definition Phonotactic regularities: permissible combinations of phonemes in one’s native language As infants hear their native language more and more, they also develop the ability to recognize phonotactic regularities Examples: /ps/ and /h/ Ability to detect phonotactic regularities in one’s language helps infants segment words from continuous speech Infants’ ability to differentiate between permissible and impermissible sequences of sounds in their native language present by about 9 months Term Categorical Perception of Speech Definition Children’s perception of speech is categorical– children categorize input into different groups Children categorize incoming sounds into “speech” and “non-speech sounds” We are able to distinguish between sounds in different categories (/p/ vs. /b/), but without special training, we are not able to distinguish between variations of sounds within the same category (the first and last /p/ sounds in pup) Allophones: variations of sounds in the same category Voice onset time: interval between the release of a stop consonant (e.g., p, b, t, d) and the onset of vocal cord vibrations Used to distinguish between sounds in different categories Term Awareness of Action Definition By 4 months, infants can distinguish between purposeful and accidental actions Appear to focus upon the intentions underlying actions rather than the physical details of the actions By 12 months, infants understand rational actions as means to a goal, even when they are not able to view the entire context in which an action takes place Infants’ awareness of movement and their understanding of goals underlying actions is an important precursor for language development Term Category Formation Definition Ability to form categories, or to group items and events according to the perceptual and conceptual features they share is crucial for language development One of infants’ earliest developing and most robust predictors of later cognitive and linguistic outcomes Infants’ ability to form categories between 3 and 9 months of age is predictive of their general cognitive abilities and language abilities at 2 years and of cognitive outcomes at 2 ½ years of age Category formation is hierarchical: Superordinate level: Uppermost level in a category hierarchy Most general concept in a particular category Among the later words children acquire Subordinate level: Lowermost level in a category hierarchy Specific concepts in a category Basic level: Center of a category hierarchy General concepts in a category Infants’ first categories are basic level categories and first words are basic level words Two basic types of categories that infants utilize at each level of the hierarchy: perceptual categories and conceptual categories Term Perceptual Categories Definition Based on similar appearing features, to include color, shape, texture, size, etc. Used to recognize and identify objects around them Perceptual categorization describes knowing what something looks like, whereas conceptual categorization describes knowing what something is Term Conceptual Categories Definition Based on what objects do, rather than what they look like Used to make inductive generalizations about new objects without relying on perceptual similarity at all Languages differ in how they categorize these concepts and children who are learning different languages ultimately come to perceive the world in different ways because of the way their language categorizes concepts Term Multicultural Focus Definition English language distinguishes between actions that characterize containment (put in) relationships and support relationships (put on) Korean language distinguishes between tight-fit (kkita) and loose-fit or contact relationships (various verbs), a relationship that is not represented in English Sensitivity to language-specific spatial categories by 18-23 months of age Language as category maker hypothesis: language guides children from a young age as they perceive spatial relations around them Term Early Vocalizations Definition Infants follow a fairly predictable pattern in their early use of vocalizations Stage model: describe infants’ vocalizations to follow and observable and sequential pattern Stark Assessment of Early Vocal Development (SAEVD; Nathani, Ertmer, & Stark, 2000) 6 distinct stages of early vocalization development: Reflexive (0-8 weeks) Control of phonation (6-16 weeks) Expansion (4-6 months) Control of articulation (5-8 months) Canonical syllables (6-10 months) Advanced forms (10-18 months)Term Reflexive (0-8 Weeks)Definition Reflexive sounds: very first kinds of sounds infants produce Sounds of discomfort and distress (crying, fussing) Vegetative sounds produced during feeding (burping, coughing) No control over the reflexive sounds produced Adults tend to respond as if they are true communication attempts Term Control of Phonation (6-16 Weeks)Definition Cooing and gooing sounds Vowel sounds and some nasalized sounds (airflow directed through nose) Infants typically produce consonant sounds far back in the oral cavity (e.g., “gooo”) Early consonant sounds are easier for infants to produce than those sounds that require more precise manipulation of the tongue, lips, or teeth Term Expansion (4-6 months)Definition Gain more control over the articulators Produce series of vowel sounds as well as vowel glides Experiment with the loudness and pitch of their voices Yell, growl, squeal, and make raspberries and trills Early infant vocalizations are one component of a dynamic mother-infant communication system, whereby patterns of mother-infant communication relate to infant vocalizations Term Control of Articulation (5-8 months)Definition Marginal babbling: short strings of consonant-like and vowel-like sounds Emerge as infants gain control of their articulation Term Canonical Syllables (6-10 months)Definition True babbling appears Contains pairs of consonants and vowels (called CV sequences when the consonant precedes the vowel) Reduplicated: repeating consonant and vowel pairs (ma ma ma ma ) Non-reduplicated or variegated: non-repeating consonant and vowel combinations (da ma goo ga) Infants prefer nasal sounds and stop sounds in their variegated babbling Whispered vocalizations Rounded vowels High front vowels Resemblance of these syllable combinations to adult speech Term Advanced Forms (10-18 Months)Definition Diphthongs: combinations of two vowel sounds within the same syllable More complex combinations of consonants and vowels CVC CCV VCV Jargon: special type of babble that contains the melodic patterns of an infant’s native language Not true words because not referential and don’t convey meaning Term Advanced Forms, cont Definition In the same way that the vocalizations of infants who hear speech mimic the specific rhythmic patterns that bind syllables, so too do the hand movements of babies born to parents who are deaf Term What Are Some of the Early Foundations for Language Development? Definition Foundations for later language development Infant-directed speech Joint reference and attention Rituals of infancy Caregiver responsiveness Importance of the environment in language development Linguistic input adults provide Social interactions that infants engage in with others Term Infant-Directed Speech Definition Also called motherese, baby talk, and child-directed speech Speech we use in communicative situations with young language learners Paralinguistic characteristics: describe the manner of speech outside of the linguistic information High overall pitch, exaggerated pitch contours, slower tempos (as compared to adult-directed speech) Syntactic characteristics: smaller mean length of utterance (MLU), few subordinate clauses, more content words, fewer function words Discourse features: greater use of repetition, more questions than adult-directed speech Attracts infants’ atten"

"text": "\"Difference Between Pitch and Volume Posted on September 18, 2013 by admin Pitch vs Volume Loudness and Pitch are characteristics of sounds. Loudness refers to the magnitude of the sound heard, and pitch is related to the frequency of the sound. Loudness, in common terms, is referred as the volume. Pitch and volume are parts of music and sound engineering vernacular, but the term loudness is used in physics. Pitch Pitch is the perception of the highness or the lowness of the sound/tone. It is strongly related to the frequency of the sound, but not exclusively. Loudness also affects the pitch. Up to 1000 Hz (1 k Hz), the increment in the loudness decreases the pitch and, in the range 1000-3000 Hz (1-3 k Hz), the loudness has no effect on the pitch. Beyond 3000 Hz (3 k Hz) the increase in the loudness causes and increment in the pitch. High pitch sounds carry a sharp penetrating sound while low pitch sounds carry heavy sound."

An explicit equation for the desired sound wave (amplitude as a function of time) is evaluated and converted by the computer’s sound card to voltage as a function of time, V (t). This is input to an oscilloscope, which converts V (t) to a y (x) display. When preparing these examples, these are also output to a power amplifier and loudspeaker, as shown here. When you use them, you will download the numerical signal and this time your computer’s sound card will convert it to V (t), amplify it and output it to headphones or speakers. This and subsequent sections will probably work rather better with headphones than speakers, especially tiny computer speakers. Frequency and pitch In this example, the signal is a sine wave. Its frequency is initially 440 Hz."

"text": "11 The perception of frequency11.1 The relationship between frequency and pitch Although the perception of sound involves the interaction of frequency and intensity, many aspects of frequency reception can be analysed separately. For normal or typical hearing, the limits of hearing for frequency fall between 20 and 20 000 Hz. Below 20 Hz only a feeling of vibration is perceived; above 20 000 Hz, only a ‘tickling’ is experienced. As well as loudness, the other most obvious characteristic of a sound is its pitch. Pitch is a subjective dimension of hearing. It is the sound quality most closely related to the frequency of a pure tone. High-frequency tones are perceived as being of high pitch while low-frequency tones are said to be of low pitch. The relationship between pitch and frequency is however, not a simple linear one. In order to investigate how the two are related, pitch has been assigned the arbitrary unit the mel. The pitch of a 1000 Hz tone at 40 d B SPL has been given a fixed value of 1000 mel."

( September 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The perfect octave, a consonant interval Play ( help · info)The minor second, a dissonance Play ( help · info)In music, consonance and dissonance are categorizations of simultaneous or successive sounds. Consonance is associated with sweetness, pleasantness, and acceptability; dissonance is associated with harshness, unpleasantness, or unacceptability. The terms form a structural dichotomy in which they define each other by mutual exclusion: a consonance is what is not dissonant, and reciprocally. However, a finer consideration shows that the distinction forms a gradation, from the most consonant to the most dissonant. As Hindemith stressed, \"\"The two concepts have never been completely explained, and for a thousand years the definitions have varied\"\" ( Hindemith 1942, p. 85). The opposition can be made in different contexts: In acoustics or psychophysiology, the distinction may be objective."

That is, you will see a repeating pattern. Each of the identifiable repeating patterns is called a cycle. The duration of each cycle is called the ( duration of the) glottal pulse or pitch period length . We represent the length in time of the glottal pulse or pitch period length by the Greek letter tau, τ . When the pitch period length is measured in milliseconds, we customarily represent it by τms. If the pitch period length is measured in seconds, we represent it as τs or simply as τ. The fundamental frequency (also called the fundamental ) of a periodic signal is the inverse (reciprocal) of the pitch period length."

Octaves increase exponentially when measured on a linear frequency scale (Hz). Octaves are equally spaced when measured on a logarithmic scale (cents). The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals. Twelve-tone equal temperament divides the octave into 12 semitones of 100 cents each. Typically, cents are used to express small intervals, or to compare the sizes of comparable intervals in different tuning systems, and in fact the interval of one cent is too small to be heard between successive notes. Alexander J. Ellis based the measure on the acoustic logarithms decimal semitone system developed by Gaspard de Prony in the 1830s, at Robert Holford Macdowell Bosanquet 's suggestion. Ellis made extensive measurements of musical instruments from around the world, using cents extensively to report and compare the scales employed, [1] and further described and employed the system in his 1875 edition of Hermann von Helmholtz 's On the Sensations of Tone. It has become the standard method of representing and comparing musical pitches and intervals.

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. [ 1] It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842. A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn approaches and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession. [ 2]The reason for the Doppler effect is that when the source of the waves is moving towards the observer, each successive wave crest is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the previous wave.

"text": "\"Volley theory states that groups of neurons of the auditory system respond to a sound by firing action potentials slightly out of phase with one another so that when combined, a greater frequency of sound can be encoded and sent to the brain to be analyzed. The theory was proposed by Ernest Wever and Charles Bray in 1930 [1] as a supplement to the frequency theory of hearing. It was later discovered that this only occurs in response to sounds that are about 500 Hz to 5000 Hz. Volley Theory of Hearing demonstrated by four neurons firing at a phase-locked frequency to the sound stimulus. The total response corresponds with the stimulus.

The reason for this is that neurons can only fire at a maximum of about 500 Hz but other theories of hearing did not explain for hearing sounds below about 5000 Hz. Harmonic waveform of a fundamental frequency L/2Harmonic spectrums [ edit]Sounds are often sums of multiple frequency tones. When these frequencies are whole number multiples of a fundamental frequency they create a harmonic. When groups of auditory neurons are presented with harmonics, each neuron fires at one frequency and when combined, the entire harmonic is encoded into the primary auditory cortex of the brain."

Alternative notation systems can portray them with much more clarity and accuracy. This tutorial is part of a series that includes Reading and Playing Music by Intervals and Intervals in 6-6 Music Notation Systems. Intervals are one of the essential elements of music, the building-blocks that make up its structures. Melodies, scales, and chords are all patterns of melodic or harmonic intervals, and the notes in any given key belong to that key because of their interval relationships. Playing by ear and improvising involve hearing and playing music by interval relationships, and intervals are indispensable for understanding music theory. Because intervals are so important, the way they are represented in music notation is particularly significant. It is surprising how limited, indirect, and inconsistent the representation of intervals is in traditional notation. In the next tutorial we explore how alternative notation systems can portray interval relationships with much greater clarity and accuracy. How might a better notation system improve awareness of interval relationships and the ability to understand and play music?"

Earth, which is a spheroid, is not a monolithic, uniform structure, but divided into layers having different characteristics. Starting from the center of the earth, it is the core that is encountered first (3400km radius). Then comes the mantle that surrounds this core and has a radius of 2890km. The surface of the earth down to the mantle that literally floats on the mantle is called the crust and is made of basalt and granite. The lithosphere is a layer that includes the crust and the uppermost portion of the asthenosphere. Thus, the lithosphere contains the oceanic crust, continental crust, as well as the uppermost mantle. It confuses many as to why there are two names for the same layer of earth. Well, it has to do with different ways scientists study the earth and its properties. While lithosphereis studied with the mechanical properties of the earth in mind, the crust is studied with a focus on the chemical composition of the earth."

This layer that maintains life on earth is called the lithosphere. The Lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper most solid mantle. While the Asthenosphere, which lies beneath the lithosphere, is composed of the upper most weaker part of the mantle. As we move from the lithosphere to the asthenosphere the temperature increases. This increase in temperature as well as extreme pressure causes rocks to become plastic. In time these semi molten rocks will flow. The aforementioned occurrence, at a certain depth and temperature gives rise to the asthenosphere layer. These two layers are crucial due to the mechanical changes that occur within these layers, as well their effects on society. Their differences and interactions will be further discussed in the following article."

"text": "Altmetric: 39 Citations: 243More detail Letter The formation of Mount Etna as the consequence of slab rollback Zohar Gvirtzman & Amos Nur Nature 401, 782 – 785 (21 October 1999)doi :10.1038/44555Download Citation Received:15 April 1999Accepted:16 August 1999Published online:21 October 1999Abstract Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe, lies close to the subduction-related Aeolian magmatic arc but shows no trace of subducted material in its magmas. Mount Etna is also situated on continental crust yet shows oceanic basalt affinities 1, 2, 3, with isotopic ratios of helium and carbon suggesting that it is fed by the same type of mantle source as are mid-ocean ridge basalts 4, 5. Here we propose that although this giant volcano is not subduction-related—in the sense that it is not part of the magmatic arc—its formation is strongly related to the nearby subduction process. Based on a three-dimensional model of the tectonic plates in this region, we propose that the voluminous melting under Mount Etna results from ‘suction’ of asthenospheric material from under the neighbouring African plate. Such lateral flow is expected when descending slabs migrate backwards in the mantle (rollback) leaving low-pressure regions behind 6, 7 them. This was previously identified at the northern end of the Tonga arc (southwest Pacific Ocean) where such flow feeds arc 8 or backarc 9 magmatism. Here we show that in the south Tyrrhenian subduction zone, slab rollback pulls asthenospheric material much farther along the plate contact, reaching the base of the crust in the forearc region. This explains the voluminous melting under Mount Etna and also the recent uplift of the forearc region (the Calabrian peninsula) 10. Main Figure 1 shows that Mount Etna is situated a little to the side of the Ionian slab, rather than directly above it. Also, it does not face the magmatic arc (Aeolian islands) but is situated a little forward, in line with the forearc region (Calabria), where the top of the slab, at ∼ 70 km depth, is too shallow to produce melting."

Three main types of rocks can be identified on the Earth's surface: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is a model that describes how various geological processes create, modify and influence rocks. The rock cycle suggests that all rocks originated from magma. This model also suggests that all rock types can be melted back into magma by tectonic forces that return rock to the mantle. Time has a unique meaning to geoscientists. To a geoscientist time is not measured in seconds, minutes or days, but in eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Each one of these units measures time according to major geologic events that have occurred over the 4.6 billion years of Earth history.

On the Earth, the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle (the upper mantle or lower lithosphere) which is joined to the crust. for more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithosphere... Asthenosphere is the region of the Earth between 100-200 km below the surface — but perhaps extending as deep as 400 km — that is the weak or \"\"soft\"\" zone in the upper mantle. It lies just below the lithosphere, which is involved in plate movements and isostatic adjustments. In spite of its heat, pressures keep it plastic, and it has a relatively low density. Seismic waves, the speed of which decrease with the softness of a medium, pass relatively slowly though the asthenosphere, the cue that originally alerted seismologists to its presence; thus it has been given the name low-velocity zone. for more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthenosphe... ..

The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere, the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle. The boundary between the lithosphere and the underlying asthenosphere is defined by a difference in response to stress: the lithosphere remains rigid for long periods of geologic time, whereas the asthenosphere flows much more readily.

None of the trapped material actually moves through the membrane, but remains on the other side of the original membrane, even while the vacuole is inside the cell. Exocytosis Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. Quatities of material are expelled from the cell without ever passing through the membrane as individual molecules. By using the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis, some specialized types of cells move large amounts of bulk material into and out of themselves. Phagocytosis Solid particles are engulfed by phagocytosis (\"\"cell eating\"\"), a process that begins when solids make contact with the outer cell surface, triggering the movement of the membrane. The desired particles are then enclosed within a small piece of the plasma membrane which forms a sac called a vacuole (or vesicle), with the food particle inside it. This vacuole is then moved to the interior of the cell. Strictly speaking, the food particles are not yet part of the cell as it is still surrounded by membrane.

Specialized cells that formed nerves and muscles—tissues impossible for plants to evolve—gave these organisms mobility. The ability to move about by the use of specialized muscle tissues is a hallmark of the animal world, though a few animals, primarily sponges, do not possess differentiated tissues. Notably, protozoans locomote, but it is only via nonmuscular means, in effect, using cilia, flagella, and pseudopodia. The animal kingdom is unique among eukaryotic organisms because most animal tissues are bound together in an extracellular matrix by a triple helix of protein known as collagen. Plant and fungal cells are bound together in tissues or aggregations by other molecules, such as pectin."

Development of a cell membrane that could allow some materials to pass while constraining the movement of other molecules was a major step in the evolution of the cell. Cell membranes are differentially (or semi-) permeable barriers separating the inner cellular environment from the outer cellular (or external) environment. Water potential is the tendency of water to move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Energy exists in two forms: potential and kinetic. Water molecules move according to differences in potential energy between where they are and where they are going. Gravity and pressure are two enabling forces for this movement. These forces also operate in the hydrologic (water) cycle. Remember in the hydrologic cycle that water runs downhill (likewise it falls from the sky, to get into the sky it must be acted on by the sun and evaporated, thus needing energy input to power the cycle).

Many proteins must undergo one or more forms of modification that can occur either cotranslationally and/or post-translationally as described in detail in the following sections. However, an equally critical process that must be undertaken to ensure protein function is the folding of the protein into a defined three-dimensional structure. Within the environment of the cell, newly synthesized proteins are at great risk of aberrant folding and aggregation. Improper folding and protein aggregation can lead to the formation of potentially toxic species. To reduce and prevent these negative outcomes, cells harbor a complex network of molecular chaperones whose functions are to promote efficient folding and to prevent protein aggregation. The structure of proteins within the cell is in a highly dynamic state and, therefore, constant molecular chaperone surveillance is required to ensure protein homeostasis. Human cells express several families of molecular chaperones with the most abundant families being those that were originally designated as responding to the stresses induced by heat in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. These protein families are, therefore, classically termed heat shock proteins (Hsp) and also referred to as stress proteins. Although defined by the initial observation of heat-induced expression, Hsp genes can be induced by inflammation, ischemia, infections, irradiation, and exposure to heavy metals, oxidants, and organics."

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration—in the direction against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement. There are two types of active transport – primary active transport that uses ATP, and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

Endocytosis Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different variations of endocytosis, but all share a common characteristic: the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle. The pocket pinches off, resulting in the particle being contained in a newly-created intracellular vesicle formed from the plasma membrane."

We refer to the modern conceptual model of the cell membrane as the \"\"fluid mosaic\"\" model since the phospholipids are able to move about across the surface of the membrane (fluid) and the proteins are many and varied (mosaic) (5.12). Attached to the some proteins and to some of the phospholipids are oligosaccharides (short polysaccharides). When a protein has an oligosaccharide attached it is called a glycoprotein. Glycolipids are phospholipids with the sugar chains added. These oligosaccharides are found on the outside of the membrane and are used in cell to cell recognition. They differ among species, among individuals and within individuals. Membrane proteins can have a number of functions, such as transport proteins, enzymes (more on these shortly), receptor sites, cell adhesion, attachment to the cytoskeleton. ("

Learning Objectives List the steps of viral replication and explain what occurs at each step Key Takeaways Key Points Viral replication involves six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, and release. During attachment and penetration, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into it. During uncoating, replication, and assembly, the viral DNA or RNA incorporates itself into the host cell’s genetic material and induces it to replicate the viral genome. During release, the newly-created viruses are released from the host cell, either by causing the cell to break apart, waiting for the cell to die, or by budding off through the cell membrane.

The viral replication cycle can produce dramatic biochemical and structural changes in the host cell, which may cause cell damage. These changes, called cytopathic (causing cell damage) effects, can change cell functions or even destroy the cell. Some infected cells, such as those infected by the common cold virus known as rhinovirus, die through lysis (bursting) or apoptosis (programmed cell death or “cell suicide”), releasing all progeny virions at once. The symptoms of viral diseases result from the immune response to the virus, which attempts to control and eliminate the virus from the body and from cell damage caused by the virus."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: PHAGOCYTOSIS Phagocytosis (literally \"\"cell-eating\"\") is a form of endocytosis wherein large particles are enveloped by the cell membrane of a (usually larger) cell and internalized to form a phagosome, or \"\"food vacuole.\"\" In animals, phagocytosis is performed by specialized cells called phagocytes, which serve to remove foreign bodies and thus fight infection. In vertebrates, these include larger macrophages and smaller granulocytes, types of blood cells. Bacteria, dead tissue cells, and small mineral particles are all examples of objects that may be phagocytosed. Virulent bacteria may need to be coated in antibodies before they can be consumed. Certain pathogenic bacteria, such as those of leprosy and tuberculosis, once internalized through phagocytosis, are resistant to killing by the phagocytes that have ingested them. Anything that impedes or prevents the action of phagocyctes is termed antiphagocytic In many protists, phagocytosis is used as a means of feeding, providing part or all of their nourishment. This is called phagotrophic nutrition, as distinguished from osmotrophic nutrition, which takes place by absorption."

Their native range in Alabama is primarily throughout the Mobile Delta and coastal river tributaries of Mobile Bay, as well as free-flowing portions of the lower Tombigbee, Alabama, and Conecuh rivers. Their large, toothy mouth and hooked jaw somewhat resembles that of the American alligator; hence the name alligator gar. Though they are a formidable predator, alligator gar derive a large part of their diet from carrion. The diet of adult alligator gar consists mostly of large, soft-bodied fishes; such as shad, suckers, carp, and mullet; as well as snakes, turtles, birds, and small mammals. As with several aquatic species, habitat loss and degradation have led in part to declining numbers of alligator gar in Alabama. Their fighting ability, large size, and appeal as a food fish have also contributed to a reduced population in Alabama. From the late 1980s to early 1990s, commercial harvest of alligator gar was documented and occurred with a “noticeable decline in adult fish numbers” based on field observations (J. Zolczynski, W. Tucker, and K. Dodd, Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries, personal communications). Before 1992, no limits protected alligator gar, which is actually classified as a “nongame” fish. Based on observations by biologists and interviews with commercial and sport anglers alike, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources made a decision to place a two fish per angler per day limit on October 1, 1992 (Alabama Regulation 220-2-.45)."

State and federal protections, habitat preservation efforts, and reduced demand for alligator products have improved the species' wild population to more than one million and growing today. Prehistoric Characteristics One look at these menacing predators—with their armored, lizard-like bodies, muscular tails, and powerful jaws—and it is obvious they are envoys from the distant past. The species, scientists say, is more than 150 million years old, managing to avoid extinction 65 million years ago when their prehistoric contemporaries, the dinosaurs, died off. Life in the Water American alligators reside nearly exclusively in the freshwater rivers, lakes, swamps, and marshes of the southeastern United States, primarily Florida and Louisiana. Heavy and ungainly out of water, these reptiles are supremely well adapted swimmers. Males average 10 to 15 feet in length and can weigh 1,000 pounds. Females grow to a maximum of about 9.8 feet."

Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies to only the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae ), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae ), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit."

American alligators are reptiles, and they are members of the Crocodylia order. In this order are 23 different species, including the American alligator, Caimans and a variety of crocodiles. The basic Crocodylia body form has been around for over 180 million years, making alligators and crocodiles living dinosaurs. All of these animals have the same basic layout: big heads, long, lizard-like bodies, four stubby legs and long tails. Male alligators are, on average, about 11 feet (3.5 meters) long and 600 pounds (270 kg). Females are, on average, about 8 feet long and weigh about half as much as male alligators. Males can actually get much larger -- 1,000 pounds is not unusual. At the Alligator Adventures alligator park in Myrtle Beach, SC, a very large crocodile named Utan weighs in at 2,000 pounds and is almost 20 feet long.

Often those who are most enthusiastic about keeping crocodilians tend to be younger, typically still in their teens. However, given the general unsuitability of crocodilians as \"\"pets\"\" and the experience required to keep them, it is strongly recommended that you are in stable financial position, have longterm facilities available, are physically capable of dealing with very strong and boisterous reptiles, and that you have several years of experience with larger reptiles. Yes it's true, anyone can keep a hatchling alligator or crocodile easily. But they don't stay that way for long. Most teenagers live in times of great change, and their ability to keep a crocodile now may not be the same in a few years. Think very carefully about your future plans, otherwise you will have several feet of very large reptile to try and get rid of when nobody wants it.3.2 Which crocodilian species make the best captives? For many years the spectacled caiman, Caiman crocodilus, has been the most popular crocodilian found in the pet trade. This has recently changed with the increased availability of better alternative species, and changes in the law that restrict ownership of Caiman crocodilus in the US."

Once you exit Interstate-10, the roads become two lanes; the houses are usually far and few between; the green countryside has some clusters of activity here and there. Water – be it bayou or swamp – isn’t far away, though you can’t see it. This was the path I took, ultimately finding myself at Duffy’s Shell Station. Awaiting me was Troy Landry; his wife, Bernita; a History Channel publicist; and the regular customers, as gas stations often are the social epicenter of country towns. ( The station is owned by Landry’s father.) As we make our greetings, there are distractions from some tourists who have come in to meet Landry and take a photograph with him. He is wearing the alligator boots his mother bought him (visually answering the question: “You hunt alligators, but do you own any of the end product?”). We are almost on our way when Landry stops to speak with some men about crawfishing, another line of work that he’s involved in when not hunting during the brief alligator season."

"text": "Most people have a primordial fear of spiders and snakes and, of course, of predators that are larger than they are. So it makes sense to regard crocodilians (that is, the group of living alligators, crocodiles, caimans, gharials, and so on) with suspicion. Though several of their ancestors were more monstrous than their current forms, about half of the planet’s 23 living species of crocodilians are considered dangerous to people. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which is famous for its Red List that characterizes the conservation status of various species, suggests that crocodilians strike out at human beings for four reasons: (1) they’re hungry, (2) they’re defending their territory, (3) they’re defending their young, or (4) they intended to attack another species—such as a dog, a cat, or another domesticated animal—that just happened to be near a person at the time. The list below catalogues some of the most-aggressive crocodilian species. Black Caiman ( Melanosuchus niger)Jason Buberel The black caiman resides in northern South America and can be found over much of the Amazon River basin from Peru and Ecuador eastward to Guyana and Suriname. Black caimans have a broad diet, feeding on fish and other reptiles as well as rodents such as the capybara (which can grow as large as 4 feet [1.25 meters] long). Adult male black caimans often grow longer than 13 feet (about 4 meters); larger specimens have been known to attack people. The Worldwide Crocodilian Attack Database (Croc BITE), which is associated with Australia’s Charles Darwin University, notes that between January 2008 and October 2013, black caimans were involved in 43 attacks on people, and fewer than one-fifth of those were fatal.

S. Geological Survey Alligators are large reptiles, members of the order Crocodylia. Alligators and crocodiles are, therefore, closely related, and people often confuse one with the other; however, these two reptiles are very different. An alligator is distinguished by its wide, rounded snout and black color. Also, all of its upper teeth can still be seen when its mouth is closed. Crocodiles, on the other hand, have narrow, pointed snouts, a grey-green color and only the fourth tooth on the lower jaw can be seen when the animal's mouth is closed, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Size There are two different types of alligator, and they vary in size. The American alligator can grow up to 11.2 feet (3.4 meters) long and weight nearly half a ton (1,000 lbs. or 454 kilograms), according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. Chinese alligators are smaller, growing to around 4.6 to 4.9 feet (1.4 to 1.5 m) long and usually weighing only around 50 lbs. ("

( I just want to clarify something before I get too far here...) We do NOT have saltwater crocodiles here in Florida (THANK GOD!!!) We have the American crocodile, and as far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a single verified alligator death due to crocodiles. As far as \"\"bounties\"\" placed on crocodiles for killing alligators, I'd know it... there are none. Florida is the only place in the world with native populations of both alligators and crocodiles, and there's no killing American crocs... they're protected by CITES... It's just been within the past year that the state has considered treating nuisance crocs the same as nuisance alligators, and that hasn't been settled yet... they're still relocating nuisance crocodiles, and there has still only been one confirmed human fatality from the American crocodile since Florida has been settled. And I'd like to clarify something else as well... University of Florida did the first bite force studies on alligators (and I think on any crocodilian) several years ago... they built a hydraulic bite-meter and went to the St. Augustine alligator farm and tested it out. Average \"\"get away and leave me alone\"\" type bite from a gator is 2000 psi. They decided to try to get a truly angry bite from one of the largest gators they've got over there... their bite-meter was built to withstand 5000 psi... it broke. If I'm not mistaken from what I recall of similar studies with crocodiles, the results were basically the same as long as the animals are similarly sized."

Alligators tend to be smaller than their Crocodile cousins but have been known to move at speeds of up to 15mph on land making them one of the fastest large reptiles in the world. Despite their size, there are a number of distinct differences between Alligators and Crocodiles as an Alligator's snout is shorter than that of a Crocodile, and with their mouths shut, an Alligator's teeth cannot be seen but a Crocodile's can. Alligators are also commonly known as Gators in their native, southern North American habitats. Alligator Anatomy and Appearance Alligators are very large reptiles, with males growing up to 4.5 meters in length. The female Alligator tends to be slightly smaller, with a total body and tail length of between 3 and 3.5 meters. The Chinese Alligator is a much smaller species, almost half the size of a female American Alligator. Alligators have an armour-plated body that varies in colour from yellow, to green, to brown, finally turning almost completely black in old age. The tail of the Alligator is incredibly muscular and is used to propel the animal when it is in the water. Alligators have short, stocky legs with webbing between their toes."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 42 - Circulation and Gas Exchange Printer Friendly Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Lecture Outline Overview: Trading with the Environment Every organism must exchange materials and energy with its environment, and this exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level. 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."

SAH can be caused by a ruptured aneurysm, AVM, or head injury. One-third of patients will survive with good recovery; one-third will survive with a disability; and one-third will die. Treatment focuses on stopping the bleeding, restoring normal blood flow, and preventing vasospasm. What is a subarachnoid hemorrhage? The subarachnoid space is the area between the brain and the skull. It is normally filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a floating cushion to protect the brain (see Anatomy of the Brain ). When blood is released into the subarachnoid space, it irritates the lining of the brain, increases pressure on the brain, and damages brain cells. At the same time, the area of brain that previously received oxygen-rich blood from the affected artery is now deprived of blood, resulting in a stroke. SAH is frequently a sign of a ruptured aneurysm (Fig."

"text": "What is Hydrocephalus? The term hydrocephalus is a neurological condition, where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid fills the cavities (ventricles) of the brain and the spinal cord. Increase in the cerebrospinal fluid widens the ventricular spaces in the brain and exerts pressure on the brain tissues. The cerebrospinal fluid has many important functions, such as maintaining a balanced pressure, removing wastes, and supplying nutrients. When the absorption of the CSF is impaired, it affects the nutrient delivery and waste removal, it fails to compensate for the changes in the volume of the blood, and it does not act as an effective shock absorber within the brain. There are 3 possibilities for the development of hydrocephalus. They are as follows: The bloodstream is unable to reabsorb the excess CSF. The ventricles within the brain produce excess CSF. An obstruction prevents the normal circulation of the CSF around the brain and the spinal cord."

Define contrast enhancement as it applies to CT and MR imaging of the brain and meninges.•. Explain the role of the blood-brain barrier and vascularity in contrast enhancement in the central nervous system.•. Use the patterns of enhancement to distinguish different pathologic processes in the brain and meninges. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Enhancement with contrast material has been used for cross-sectional neuroimaging since the early days of computed tomography (CT). Initially, both urographic and angiographic iodine-based contrast agents (which had already been approved for parenteral injection) were used for contrast material–enhanced CT studies. These agents have largely been supplanted by low- and iso-osmolar contrast agents that have a lower frequency of side effects and a higher safety margin. Between 1988 and 2004, five gadolinium-based contrast agents were approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for intravascular injection for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. There are many tools for analyzing MR or CT images to produce a differential diagnosis. Contemporary imaging includes not only the acquisition of static anatomic images but also dynamic, physiologic, and chemical imaging—all of which can be used to focus a differential diagnosis. This article highlights the use of contrast material as one of these tools, with discussions of the appearance and location of the common patterns of lesion enhancement seen on MR and CT images. Mechanisms of Contrast Material Enhancement Section: Choose prevnext Contrast material enhancement in the central nervous system (CNS) is a combination of two primary processes: intravascular (vascular) enhancement and interstitial (extravascular) enhancement ( 1, 2 ). Intravascular enhancement may reflect neovascularity, vasodilatation or hyperemia, and shortened transit time or shunting."

SWEET ALMONDS VS. BITTER ALMONDS. GDFL via Wikimedia Commons // Courtesy fir0002; CC 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons // Courtesy Jonathan Cardy You may know that all almonds—or Prunus dulcis —contain some amount of cyanide, which may explain the fact that many people think the poisonous chemical smells a bit like these nuts (cyanide doesn’t always have a scent, though). The sweet almonds that are bought, sold, and enjoyed in the U. S. and in most countries have only a negligible amount of cyanide in them, but bitter almonds—which are shorter and wider than their sweet cousins—can contain 42 times as much. The LA Times explains that bitter almonds contain amygdalin, a “toxic compound … which serves as a chemical defense against being eaten” and “splits into edible benzaldehyde, which provides an intense almond aroma and flavor, and deadly hydrocyanic acid, a fast-acting inhibitor of the respiratory system. ”This high cyanide content means that children can be fatally poisoned by eating just five to ten bitter almonds, and adults by eating around 50."

Confused? Well, the entire family order and suborder of these insects is the subject of ongoing debate in the entomology world. The structure of the compound eye creates the illusion of a small pupil The name praying mantis refers to the prayer-like stance of the insect (the name is often misspelled as \"\"preying\"\" mantis because they are predatory). Praying mantises are often confused with phasmids (stick-leaf insects) and other elongated insects. Mantises have two grasping, spiked forelegs called \"\"raptorial legs\"\" in which prey items are caught and held securely (see image above). The movement of the head is also remarkably flexible, permitting nearly 300 degrees of movement in some species and allowing for a great range of vision without the need to move their bodies. As their hunting relies heavily on vision, they are primarily diurnal, meaning active during the daytime."

Depending upon temperature and how the plants are grown, it takes from 6 to 8 weeks to produce a healthy, 6-inch tall transplant for setting out in your garden. The plants should be grown in a warm area and receive 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily or tall, poor quality, leggy plants will result.2. Q. How do you select good transplants at nurseries or garden centers? A. First, select the Extension recommended varieties of transplant whether it be tomatoes, peppers, eggplant or broccoli. Also, look for plants that appear healthy, dark green in color, and do not have any spots or holes in the leaves. The ideal tomato, pepper or eggplant transplant should be just about as wide as it is tall. Avoid tall, spindly plants.3. Q. How often should my tomatoes be fertilized?"

What is the maximum temperature at which bacteria should be incubated at in a school laboratory? 15 degrees, 25 degrees, or 37 degrees?1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Bacteria grow in many environments from artic oceans to hot springs, it is not surprising that the optimum growth temperatures vary. Bacteria from the human gut grow well at body temperature (37 C) but bacteria from plants may be killed at that temperature. Hospital incubators are often set at 37 C. It is safer for the home experimenter to work with non-pathogenic bacteria from plants, fruit, soils, and water and these usually grow best at room temperature. Since the home or school may not have incubators, you may select ambient temperatures that are available in your school or home. Thus, you may set your cultures in the furnace room, refrigerater (if food will not be contaminated), in a cold unheated room, on a hot high shelf, on a cold floor (where childern can't touch them). Temperatures are 3 types: Optimum, Minimum, Maximum Optimum = Temperature at which the bacterium grows most rapidly Minimum = Temperature below which no growth occurs Maximum = Temperature above which no growth occurs Bacteria are 3 types : Psychrophilic = Cold loving; optimum growth at 15 - 20C Mesophilic = middle living; optimum growth at 30 - 37 C Thermophilic = heat loving; optimum growth at 50 - 60 C Psychrophiles are commonly isolated from cold waters and bottoms of lakes and oceans.

But soon after, we are likely to make mention of lycopene: the carotenoid that is best-known for its rich concentration in tomatoes. But it is not only tomatoes that we might want to consider as a concentrated source of lycopene. Recent studies have made it clear that, on average, red-fleshed watermelon is more concentrated in lycopene than red tomatoes. While both foods are top-rated sources of this carotenoid, red-fleshed watermelons typically average between 4–5 milligrams of lycopene in every 100 grams (approximately two-thirds cup in volume), while red tomatoes usually contain about 3–4 milligrams per 100 grams (approximately 1/2 cup in volume). Moreover, the bioavailable of lycopene from red-fleshed watermelon appears to be greater than its bioavailability from red tomato. This greater bioavailability may be to do the presence of cis -isomeric lycopene in watermelon, which is a more readily available form of this carotenoid. We were fascinated to see a recent study on consumption of watermelon puree by a group of endurance athletes (trained cyclists) wanting to reduce their risk of post-exercise oxidative stress and inflammation. These cyclists were participating in 15.5-mile time trial on a mountainous course and they consumed about one quart of watermelon puree every 15 minutes while riding in the trial. ("

Overview - the basics about nightshade foods Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, tamarios, pepinos, pimentos, paprika, cayenne, and Tabasco sauce are classified as nightshade foods. A particular group of substances in these foods, called alkaloids, can impact nerve-muscle function and digestive function in animals and humans, and may also be able to compromise joint function. Because the amount of alkaloids is very low in nightshade foods when compared with other nightshade plants, health problems from nightshade foods may only occur in individuals who are especially sensitive to these alkaloid substances. Since cooking only lowers alkaloid content of nightshade foods by about 40-50%, highly sensitive individuals may want to avoid this category of food altogether, while non-sensitive individuals may be able to eat these foods, especially in cooked form, without problem. Green and sprouted spots on potatoes usually reflect high alkaloid content, even though the green itself involves the presence of chlorophyll, not alkaloids. For this reason, sprouted areas should always be thoroughly removed before potato cooking, or the potatoes should be discarded altogether. Nightshades--a description Nightshades are a diverse group of foods, herbs, shrubs, and trees that have fascinated scientists, doctors, and nutritionists for centuries. \"\" Nightshade\"\" is actually the common name used to describe over 2,800 species of plants, many with very different properties and constituents. All of the plants, however, belong to a scientific order called Polemoniales, and to a scientific family called Solanaceae."

There is another meaning for the word fruit, which is culinary and refers to a sweet part of a plant that is eaten, this is the more familiar term and includes rhubarb and apples, but not tomatoes and nuts, etc. ‘ Vegetable’ is only a culinary term, referring to parts of a plant used in savoury cooking, it may refer to any part of the plant: leaves (lettuce) flower buds (broccoli), stems (celery) or roots (carrots) and has no botanical equivalent."

Health benefits of moderate gardening activity are well documented, and the supply of wholesome garden-fresh vegetables adds to quality of life in the Sunshine State. Sometimes pest problems interfere with gardening pursuits. Some problems, such as weeds and certain insects, are relatively easy to identify as causing damage. However, another group of maladies, plant diseases, can cause serious damage and are underappreciated and not as well understood by many homeowners. The majority of plant health problems categorized as plant diseases are caused by microorganisms. As the name implies, these disease-causing agents are extremely tiny; they ordinarily require a microscope to be seen.

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-the-speed-of-sound.htm\nWhat is the Speed of Sound?",
"text": "The speed of sound varies depending on altitude, temperature and the medium through which it travels. For example, at sea level in a standard atmosphere, at a temperature of 59-degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius), sound travels 761 miles per hour (1,225 km/p/h). At a temperature of 32-degrees Fahrenheit (0 Celsius) the speed of sound drops to 742 mph (1,194 km/p/h). In altitudes above sea level the speed of sound is again different and will vary depending on prevailing factors. The reason for this variance is that sound waves travel by exciting molecules. When a sound wave hits a molecule it will vibrate, thereby transferring the vibration to adjacent molecules, which pass it on in a like manner. If molecules are packed very tight, the sound wave can travel very fast, increasing the speed of sound. When molecules are not as densely packed the speed of sound slows. Temperature and altitude affect atmospheric density, changing the speed of sound. Sound will also travel faster through water than through air, because water is a denser medium."

"text": "Science Physics Optics & Waves Q: What determines the pitch of sound? A: Quick Answer Pitch is determined by the frequency of a wave, and frequency is the combination of wavelength and speed at which the wave is traveling. Sound has a constant speed of 343 meters per second, so wavelength dictates pitch. The longer a sound's wavelength, the lower the pitch of that sound. Continue Reading Keep Learning What are the different properties of sound? What is the velocity of a wave that has a wavelength of 30 meters and a frequency of 12 Hz? What are the basic properties of light? Full Answer When multiple instruments play the same pitch, the wavelengths they emit are the same length. Different instruments have different overtones, which are frequencies higher than the fundamental frequency of a sound. These overtones create the variation in sounds from instruments playing the same pitch."

[ /QUOT] Because it can't, otherwise the energy would change when traveling through different mediums which doesn't make sense. E = hf If frequency changed energy would change and the energy of light doesn't change when traveling in different mediums. But since the speed changes something has to change which is wavelength. If wavelength changes energy doesn't change because speed is also part of the equation."

Michelson (1852-1931)The science of physics includes the study of waves. You know about waves from watching the ocean or the surface of a lake or pond. Other types of waves include sound and electromagnetic radiation, such as light, radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays. An earthquake occurs when waves traveling below the surface cause the ground to move up and down or side to side. Waves can be described mathematically, and the same equations can be used for all kinds of waves. But it is not necessary to understand the equations to observe how waves function. The key thing to know about a wave is that it transfers energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves can carry energy through space. Electromagnetic waves include the light that you see; radio waves that carry information to your television, cordless phone, and car radio; x-rays that make an image as they pass through your body; and the microwaves with which you cook dinner."

Without coping and pasting what others have done, the first time the sound barrier was broken by a man in a aircraft was on October 14, 1947 by then Captain Chuck Yeager, flying the Bell X-1. He wasn't sure if he did break the sound barrier or not until ground tech's confirmed it. The Mach Meter in the plane had actually jump off the scale, meaning it read Mach 1.3 on that day. It wasn't released to the public that man had broken the sound barrier until late 1948. So American aircraft comapinies could start building supersonic aircraft.

The sound waves which are most intense and perceived as loud sounds are those which have a _____. Identify the one characteristic which is unique of such sound waves. Amplitude, Intensity and Energy: The intensity of a wave is the rate at which energy passes through a cross-sectional area of the medium. Intense waves are associated with relatively large amplitude of vibrations of the particles of the medium. The more energy put into the wave by the source, the greater the amplitude of vibration of the particles, and the greater the intensity of the wave. A holler is clearly perceived differently than a whisper. In a holler, particles of the medium are disturbed a relatively large amount from their resting position."

"text": "\"Location: Home > ask a rocket scientist > atmosphere > q0059Speed of Sound How fast in miles per hour is Mach 2? - question from Duane Williams I'm sorry to have to be so vague, but the answer to your question is \"\"it depends!\"\" The reason we can't be more specific is that it all depends on what the speed of sound is through a substance under certain conditions. Now if you had asked how fast is Mach 2 in the standard atmosphere at sea level, the answer could be found by simply looking up the speed of sound at sea level in a standard atmospheric table and multiplying it by two. Since the speed of sound through the standard atmosphere is 761 mph (1,223 km/h) at sea level, Mach 2 then follows as 1,522 mph (2,447 km/h). If you were to ask how fast is Mach 2 at an altitude of 30,000 ft (9,150 m), we would use the same methodology to find out that it is only 1,356 mph (2,180 km/h) because the speed of sound generally decreases as altitude increases. So your next logical question is why does the speed of sound change? To understand this concept, we must understand the physical mechanism of how sound travels. In a solid material, sound waves propogate through vibration. The molecules of a solid are very closely packed together and physically connected to each other."

"text": "The Physics Classroom » Physics Tutorial » Sound Waves and Music » The Speed of Sound Sound Waves and Music - Lesson 2 - Sound Properties and Their Perception The Speed of Sound Pitch and Frequency Intensity and the Decibel Scale The Speed of Sound The Human Ear A sound wave is a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by means of particle-to-particle interaction. As one particle becomes disturbed, it exerts a force on the next adjacent particle, thus disturbing that particle from rest and transporting the energy through the medium. Like any wave, the speed of a soundwave refers to how fast the disturbance is passed from particle to particle. While frequency refers to the number of vibrations that an individual particle makes per unit of time, speed refers to the distance that the disturbance travels per unit of time. Always be cautious to distinguish between the two often-confused quantities of speed ( how fast...) and frequency ( how often... ). Since the speed of a wave is defined as the distance that a point on a wave (such as a compression or a rarefaction) travels per unit of time, it is often expressed in units of meters/second (abbreviated m/s). In equation form, this isspeed = distance/time The faster a sound wave travels, the more distance it will cover in the same period of time. If a sound wave were observed to travel a distance of 700 meters in 2 seconds, then the speed of the wave would be 350 m/s. A slower wave would cover less distance - perhaps 660 meters - in the same time period of 2 seconds and thus have a speed of 330 m/s. Faster waves cover more distance in the same period of time."

The city is known as the Dairy Capital of Canada and promotes itself as \"\"The Friendly City\"\". Woodstock was first settled by European-colonists and United Empire Loyalists in 1800, starting with Zacharias Burtch and Levi Luddington, [4] and was incorporated as a town in 1851. Since then, Woodstock has maintained steady growth, and is now one of the largest cities in Southwestern Ontario. As a small historic city, Woodstock is one of the few cities in Ontario to still have all of its original administration buildings.

It was developed by CAMI which was a joint venture between General Motors of Canada and Suzuki. North American Models were to be built in CAMI's Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada plant alongside its almost identical twin the domestic-built Suzuki Sidekick (Escudo). All 1989 and some 1990 Trackers were built in Japan and imported to the US because of delays at the CAMI factory in Canada. In 1990, production began in Ingersoll and all Trackers were then being built there. The Tracker was originally powered by Suzuki's 1.6L SOHC 4-cylinder engine producing 80 hp (60 k W)."

Answer by, Linc Mad Confidence votes 41.6KNorth American (USA, Canada, etc.) area code 877 is not linked to a specific geographic area, rather it is one of the area codes reserved for toll-free calls in which the calling party is not charged. Instead, the telephone carrier charges the cost of the call to the called party. Toll-free prefixes vary in every geographic region across the globe. Toll-free prefixes in the US are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844. ( 833 and 822 are reserved for future toll-free use.) ( Note that airtime charges may still apply for calls from a cell phone.)

Area codes 365 and 437 were implemented on 3/25/2013. Area code 365 is an overlay of area codes 289 and 905 and area code 437 is an overlay of area codes 647 and 416. Ontario originally had two area codes when the numbering system was established in 1947. By 1953 Ontario experienced sufficient growth in population and telephone use to need an additional area codes. To meet this increase in demand the two original area codes 416 and 613, established in 1947, were split to form area code 519. Four years later in 1957 area codes 613 and 519 were split to form area code 705. These changes resulted in four area codes being utilized in Ontario by 1957."

It is one of a number of tactics used in climate change denial to legitimize political and public controversy disputing this consensus. [ 1] Global warming conspiracy theorists typically allege that, through worldwide acts of professional and criminal misconduct, the science behind global warming has been invented or distorted for ideological or financial reasons, or both. [ 2] [3]Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Claims3 Criticism4 Funding5 Fictional representations6 See also7 Notes8 Further reading Background [ edit]As stated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the largest contributor to global warming is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) since 1750, particularly from fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and land use changes such as deforestation. [ 4] The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) states: Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate extremes. This evidence for human influence has grown since AR4. It is extremely likely (95–100%) that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. — IPCC AR5 WG1 Summary for Policymakers [5] [6]The evidence for global warming due to human influence has been recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries. [ 7] No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from the summary conclusions of the IPCC. [ 8]Despite this scientific consensus on climate change, allegations have been made that scientists and institutions involved in global warming research are part of a global scientific conspiracy or engaged in a manipulative hoax.

As a result of this strong and appropriate bias against government power, libertarians in general have looked for reasons to downplay the risks of climate change. And, for a long time, they were able to find those reasons -- the evidence was spotty, there are complications, environmental doomsday predictions have historically been wrong, etc. Over time, libertarians have come increasingly to understand that the case regarding climate change is much more powerful than the case for prior environmental warnings. Indeed, the risks of climate disaster are now akin to the risks associated with catastrophic failures at corporations, for which insurance markets are willing to pay a premium to avoid. As a result, the question now for serious libertarians is to find the solution that gives the least power to government, and maintains the most freedom and checks and balances for non-governmental actors.

Map of Pangaea with modern continental outlines Pangaea or Pangea ( / p æ n ˈ dʒ iː ə / [1]) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. [ 2] [3] It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. [ 4] In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean, Panthalassa.

[ 5] [10] The concept that the continents once formed a continuous land mass was first proposed by Alfred Wegener, the originator of the scientific theory of continental drift, in his 1912 publication The Origin of Continents ( Die Entstehung der Kontinente ). [ 11] He expanded upon his hypothesis in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans ( Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane ), in which he postulated that, before breaking up and drifting to their present locations, all the continents had formed a single supercontinent that he called the \"\" Urkontinent \"\". The name \"\"Pangea\"\" occurs in the 1920 edition of Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, but only once, when Wegener refers to the ancient supercontinent as \"\"the Pangaea of the Carboniferous\"\". [ 12] Wegener used the Germanized form \"\"Pangäa\"\", but the name entered German and English scientific literature (in 1922 [13] and 1926, respectively) in the Latinized form \"\"Pangaea\"\" (of the Greek \"\"Pangaia\"\"), especially due to a symposium of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in November 1926.

Credit: U. S. Geological Survey About 300 million years ago, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one massive supercontinent called Pangaea, which was surrounded by a single ocean called Panthalassa. The explanation for Pangaea's formation ushered in the modern theory of plate tectonics, which posits that the Earth's outer shell is broken up into several plates that slide over Earth's rocky shell, the mantle. Over the course of the planet's 3.5 billion-year history, several supercontinents have formed and broken up, a result of churning and circulation in the Earth's mantle, which makes up most of planet's volume. This breakup and formation of supercontinents has dramatically altered the planet's history. Error setting up player: Invalid license key\"\"This is what's driven the entire evolution of the planet through time. This is the major backbeat of the planet,\"\" said Brendan Murphy, a geology professor at the St. Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. History More than a century ago, the scientist Alfred Wegener proposed the notion of an ancient supercontinent, which he named Pangaea (sometimes spelled Pangea), after putting together several lines of evidence. The first and most obvious was that the \"\"continents fit together like a tongue and groove,\"\" something that was quite noticeable on any accurate map, Murphy said. Another telltale hint that Earth's continents were all one land mass comes from the geologic record."

Everest at 8,848 meters above sea level. But the rock that caps Mt. Everest is limestone, a type of rock that forms at the bottom of warm, shallow seas and is composed primarily of fossilized marine creatures, everything from plankton to clams and fish. For years, geologists struggled to explain how the remains of tiny sea organisms could exist at the top of a mountain range. Into the 1900s, many scientists believed that as Earth cooled after its formation, the planet's surface contracted and wrinkled like the skin of an apple, subjected to the sun and drying out over time. The contraction theory, independently proposed by two prominent scientists in the late 1800s and early 1900s, implied that mountain ranges like the Himalayas were forced up by the wrinkling process. This theory assumed that all of the features on Earth had formed during one cooling event and that the planet was relatively static, changing little as the cooling (and wrinkling) slowed to a halt over millions of years. Wegener proposes \"\"continental drift\"\"Alfred Wegener, a German geophysicist and meteorologist, was not satisfied by this explanation. His ideas drew on the widely recognized fact that Africa and South America appeared to fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces. He collected paleoclimate data, or information about what the climate was like in the geologic past as recorded in rocks, from the continents on both sides of the Atlantic (Figure 1). He recognized that belts of coal, which forms in tropical regions, crossed from North America in Europe and Asia, far north of the modern tropics."

I’m sure you’ve heard in the news that 2014 was supposed to be the hottest year ever. If it actually was “hottest year ever” you’d think all the terrible calamities that are supposed to happen would be happening now but instead the opposite is happening.1. Record Ice In 2014 there was record sea ice in Antarctica in fact a global warming expedition got stuck in it. Arctic sea ice has also made a nice comeback in 2014. The Great lakes had record ice Lake Superior only had 3 ice free months in 2014. You’d think that in the hottest year ever that ice would be melting like Al Gore said.2. Record Snow2014 saw record snowfall in many areas, remember when they said that global warming would cause snow to disappear and children won’t know what snow is.3. Record Cold In 2014 we saw all kinds of cold records remember the Polar Vortex? You’d think that we’d be breaking all kinds of heat records in “the hottest year ever”4."

There you can see one of Galileo's original telescopes, as well as a fascinatingly grotesque and revealing artifact: one of Galileo's fingers, preserved in an elaborately decorated container of the style used for holy relics belonging to the Church. Legend has it that this is his middle finger-a fitting message for Galileo to send to the Church that persecuted him. That relic sums up the contradictions of Galileo's era, as well as the fate that tends to befall independent men who break through the hostility of the establishment to defend a great new truth. They are viciously opposed when they are alive-but when they are safely dead, they are co-opted by the establishment and turned into just another mummified authority figure. I was reminded of this yesterday when I came across an opinion piece by Mark Hertsgaard in The Politico, where he cites Galileo in defense of the current global warming hysteria. Hertsgaard appropriates the name and legacy of a man who defied the established scientific dogmas of his day-and uses it to enforce the established scientific dogmas of today. The man who dedicated his life to defending the idea that the Earth moves around the sun is doing a little turning of his own right now-in his grave.

REUTERS/NASA/JPL-Caltech/Handout Study: Earth’s Orbit Causes Global Warming Today And Climate Change 1.4 Billion Years Ago Michael Bastasch 11:58 AM 03/11/2015A new study out of Denmark found that fluctuations in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, called Milankovitch cycles, have been causing periods of dramatic, short-term global warming for at least 1.4 billion years. Fluctuations in Earth’s orbit are even behind the long-term warming of today’s climate, conclude researchers. While they acknowledged that greenhouse gases are the immediate dominating force changing Earth’s climate today, they noted that on a larger scale the way our planet revolves around the sun is the ultimate control knob over the climate. “This study helps us understand how past climate changes have affected Earth geologically and biologically,” Donald Canfield, the study’s main author and a professor at Nordic Center for Earth Evolution, University of Southern Denmark, said in a statement. Canfield and his colleagues form the University of Southern Denmark and the China National Petroleum Corporation examined 1.4 billion-year-old marine sediment from northern China. What they found was evidence of “repeated climate fluctuations, reflecting apparent changes in wind patterns and ocean circulation that indicates orbital forcing of climate change.” But more importantly, the same orbital forcing that caused the climate to change 1.4 billion years ago is the underlying force behind global warming today, according to Canfield. “Earth’s climate history is complex. With this research we can show that cycles like the Milankovich [sic] cycles were at play 1.4 billion years ago – a period, we know only very little about,” said Canfield. “"

Where do we begin? Before we tell the stories that make up world history, it is useful to ask: where do we begin? Where did our human stories start? Homo sapiens is part of a group called hominids, which were the earliest humanlike creatures. Based on archaeological and anthropological evidence, we think that hominids diverged from other primates somewhere between 2.5 and 4 million years ago in eastern and southern Africa.

Countless movies, books, and television shows are centered around alien civilizations, and there is an entire subculture of people devoted to the idea that aliens not only exist, but have already visited our planet for the inexplicable purpose of livestock mutilation and the molestation of the barely-literate. However, we can say with a candor close to absolute certainty that nobody on Earth will ever see warp drive starships or quad-breasted space women from the Crab Nebula, because for a number of reasons, the chances of us ever meeting any aliens are slim to none. Why? Well ...5 If They Exist, They're Likely Too, Well, Alien Getty Our concept of alien life is firmly rooted in the idea that it would be comparable to life on Earth. Almost every major alien race in the realm of science fiction and fantasy has been humanoid -- the Klingons from Star Trek are essentially angry space-cavemen while the Vulcans are virtually identical to human beings. Both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are technically aliens, despite the fact that they look exactly like two white Earth men from the 1970s, and the Asari from the Mass Effect series look like blue strippers with subdermal cornrows. Behold, inspiration for decades of uncomfortable Comic-Con costumes. Read Next7 Famous People Who Can't Stop Fighting With Fans On Twitter Even the so-called \"\"eyewitness\"\" accounts of extraterrestrial landings we see on those History Channel UFO specials describe the aliens as being essentially human in appearance, with identifiable arms, legs, eyes, and heads. Hell, even the xenomorphs in the Alien franchise, which were supposed to be inhuman bug monsters, were so close to us they could be played by humans in costumes."

"text": "\"Earth’s Oxygen Levels Can Affect Its Climate Models of past eras show that oxygen can influence global temperature and humidity as its concentration changes (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center)By Sarah Zielinskismithsonian.com June 11, 201511 5 0 5 338Earth has a surprising new player in the climate game: oxygen. Even though oxygen is not a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, its concentration in our atmosphere can affect how much sunlight reaches the ground, and new models suggest that effect has altered climate in the past. Oxygen currently makes up about 21 percent of the gases in the planet’s atmosphere, but that level hasn’t been steady over Earth’s history. For the first couple of billion years, there was little oxygen in the atmosphere. Then, about 2.5 billion years ago, oxygen started getting added to the atmosphere by photosynthetic cyanobacteria. “ Oxygen is produced as a waste product of photosynthesis. It is consumed through respiration,” explains University of Michigan climate scientist Chris Poulsen, lead author of the study published today in Science. That waste product sparked a mass extinction known as the Great Oxygenation Event. But over time, new forms of life evolved that use or expel oxygen in respiration, and atmospheric oxygen levels continued to increase. “ The production and burial of plant matter over long periods causes oxygen levels to rise,” explains Poulsen."

"text": "HALO ALKANE Properties Introduction As has been shown earlier in the general introduction to haloalkanes, the halogen atom is what gives these compounds ‘reactivity’. The carbon on which the halogen is attached is electron deficient and is therefore very suitable for attack by nucleophiles – assuming of course that there is nothing to hinder the approaching species. The alpha hydrogens have also been ‘activated’ by inductive effects that is to say that the bonds moving away from the heteroatom have become deficient in electron density as well and this results in the so-called alpha hydrogens being particularly prone to attack by positive seeking (nucleophilic) species. The electron density has been channeled away from the alpha hydrogens towards the halogen atom through the connecting bonds. The chemistry of haloalkanes is in fact generally based on these electron density shifts within these molecules, coupled with the fact that halogens are quite content to exist as ‘free’ halide ions (- after all the sea has had, for eons, a substantial amount of halide ions!). Halogen atoms, in chemical parlance, are said to be good ‘leaving groups’. All that remains therefore is a bit of push from the electron-rich nucleophiles either directly onto the carbon bearing the halogen (resulting in a substitution reaction) or via attack onto the alpha hydrogens. The abstracted alpha hydrogens readily transfer their bonding electrons to the carbon to which the heteroatom is attached (and this is precisely the direction in which the electron density has been shifted by the halogen atom anyway), releasing the halogen and forming an alkene in an elimination reaction. These are the reactions that will be described henceforth. We must also remember that reactivity will depend on the ease with which the carbon to halogen bond breaks and this follows the order R - I is weaker than R - Br which is also weaker than R - Cl and the strongest being R - F. The reactivities are therefore R - I > R - Br > R - Cl >> R - F (with the RF being extremely stable)."

It's often necessary to convert grams to moles for chemistry calculations. Peter Muller / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated March 24, 2017This worked example problem shows how to convert the number grams of a molecule to the number of moles of the molecule. Why would you need to do this? Mainly this type of conversion problem arises when you are given (or measure) the mass of a sample in grams and then need to work a ratio or balanced equation problem that requires moles. Grams To Moles Conversion Problem Determine the number of moles of CO 2 in 454 grams of CO 2. Solution First, look up the atomic masses for carbon and oxygen from the Periodic Table. The atomic mass of C is 12.01 and the atomic mass of O is 16.00. The formula mass of CO 2 is:12.01 + 2 (16.00) = 44.01Thus, one mole of CO 2 weighs 44.01 grams."

It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal. Iron is placed above copper in the activity series. Elements placed above in this series are more reactive than those placed below them. Thus iron is more reactive than copper. In this reaction, metallic iron is converted into ferrous ion (Fe2+) and cupric ion (Cu2 +) is converted into metallic copper. Fe (s) + Cu 2 + (aq) ⎯→ Fe2+ (aq) + Cu (s).

"text": "Enzyme Catalysis Enzyme Catalysis Introduction: In general, enzymes are proteins produced by living cells, they act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. A catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. One consequence of enzyme activity is that cells can carry out complex chemical activities at relative low temperatures. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the substance to be acted upon ( the substrate = S ) binds reversibly to the active site of the enzyme ( E ). One result of this temporary union is a reduction in the energy required to activate the reaction of the substrate molecule so that the products (P) of the reaction are formed. In summary: E + S —> ES –> E + PNote that the enzyme is not changed in the reaction and can even be recycled to break down additional substrate molecules. Each enzyme is specific for a particular reaction because its amino acid sequence is unique and causes it top have a unique three-dimensional structure. The active site is the portion of the enzyme that interacts with the substrate, so that any substance that blocks or changes the shape of the active site affects the activity of the enzyme. A description of several ways enzyme action may be affected follows:1. Salt Concentration."

The following explanation can be used as a starting place: From 1840-1855, literature in America experienced a rebirth called the New England Renaissance. Through their poetry, short stories, novels, and other works, writers during this period established a clear American voice. No longer did they see their work as less influential than that of European authors. Transcendentalism was a part of this \"\"flowering\"\" of American literature. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were important voices in this philosophical movement that sought to have individuals \"\"transcend\"\" to a higher spiritual level. To achieve this goal, the individual had to seek spiritual, not material, greatness and the essential truths of life through intuition. Emerson was the philosopher and teacher. Thoreau was the student and the practitioner. To learn more about this complex philosophy visit the Web of American Transcendentalism."

Second, the significance of human's relationship with nature. The dominant figures of this movement include Ralph Waldo Emerson-he founder of Transcendentalism, Henry David Thoreau-Emerson's disciple and a devoted Transcendentalist and Margaret Fuller-acore member of the Transcendentalist Club. Transcendentalism was mainly sparked by English Romanticism, Kantian Idealism, and flaws in the Unitarian Church. The Transcendentalists criticized their society for its blind conformity, and advocated that each person find \"\"an original relation to the universe\"\". Emerson and Thoreau explored this relation in solitude in nature, and in their reflection.

When compared to other forms of poetry, free verse can feel liberating. Lines do not have specific syllable counts or rhyming patterns; stanzas are not bound by standard line counts. In fact, stanzas are not bound at all; many free verse poems feature single stanzas of a thousand words or more. The movement of free verse is more reliant on natural speech rhythms than on imposed patterns. As D. H.

These principles, and indeed their definition, are much too extensive and varied to deal with in their entirety here, so the essay will accordingly limit the principles of transcendentalism to three major transcendentalist authors, appling them to the characters in the movie and their respective unfolding destinies. The fundamental argument is that the tenets of transcendentalism from the 19th century remain firmly in the hearts and minds of American people, as is manifest in this movie. More than one transcendental principle often applies to each character, particularly when in regard to individualism. Finally some positive and negative consequences of transcendentalism and its implementation will be assessed. TRANSCENDENTALISM AND SELECTED WRITERS: EMERSON, THOREAU AND WHITMANThe American War of Independence (1775-83) and the Civil War (1861-65) built a new military and political entity, symbolically and literally a fortress since political and military issues took up much of the focus in the beginning of nation building. Nevertheless this is a country that is building itself on principles never before seen in the history of humanity. In a world of suppression of the individual under kings and queens, despots and warlords, or simply a lack of any civilized coherence, something new happened in the history of humanity on July 4, 1776: The Declaration of Independence. This document, drafted by Jefferson, began with three words that would change the world forever. These words were simply \"\"We the people…\"\" and would set in motion a new liberation, the right of the individual to be equal to its government, to criticize and to influence and form that government, and indeed to be part of that government, which in turn would be accountable to the people."

"text": "Context<< Prev Section Next Section >>Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1804. His family descended from the earliest settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; among his forebears was John Hathorne (Hawthorne added the “w” to his name when he began to write), one of the judges at the 1692 Salem witch trials. Throughout his life, Hawthorne was both fascinated and disturbed by his kinship with John Hathorne. Raised by a widowed mother, Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College in Maine, where he met two people who were to have great impact upon his life: Henry Wadsworth Long-fellow, who would later become a famous poet, and Franklin Pierce, who would later become president of the United States. After college Hawthorne tried his hand at writing, producing historical sketches and an anonymous novel, Fanshawe, that detailed his college days rather embarrassingly. Hawthorne also held positions as an editor and as a customs surveyor during this period. His growing relationship with the intellectual circle that included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller led him to abandon his customs post for the utopian experiment at Brook Farm, a commune designed to promote economic self-sufficiency and transcendentalist principles. Transcendentalism was a religious and philosophical movement of the early nineteenth century that was dedicated to the belief that divinity manifests itself everywhere, particularly in the natural world. It also advocated a personalized, direct relationship with the divine in place of formalized, structured religion. This second transcendental idea is privileged in The Scarlet Letter."

"text": "\"Transcendental Ideas: Definitions An Overview of American Transcendentalism Martin Bickman, University of Colorado Although Transcendentalism as a historical movement was limited in time from the mid 1830s to the late 1840s and in space to eastern Massachusetts, its ripples continue to spread through American culture. Beginning as a quarrel within the Unitarian church, Transcendentalism's questioning of established cultural forms, its urge to reintegrate spirit and matter, its desire to turn ideas into concrete action developed a momentum of its own, spreading from the spheres of religion and education to literature, philosophy, and social reform. While Transcendentalism's ambivalence about any communal effort that would compromise individual integrity prevented it from creating lasting institutions, it helped set the terms for being an intellectual in America. It is easier to note its pervasive influence, though, than it is to clarify its doctrines. The fluidity and elusiveness of Transcendentalism was registered even by some of its most intelligent contemporaries. Nathaniel Hawthorne, for example, writes: \"\"He is German by birth, and is called Giant Transcendentalist, but as to his form, his features, his substance, and his nature generally, it is the chief peculiarity of this huge miscreant that neither he for himself nor anybody for him has ever been able to describe them. As we rushed by the cavern's mouth we caught a hasty glimpse of him, looking somewhat like an ill-proportioned figure but considerably more like a heap of fog and duskiness. He shouted after us, but in so strange a phraseology that we knew not what he meant, nor whether to be encouraged or affrighted.\"\" [ from \"\"The Celestial Railroad\"\"] On an American visit, Charles Dickens was told \"\"that whatever was unintelligible would certainly be transcendental\"\" and Edgar Allan Poe instructs a young author to write the Tone Transcendental by using small words but turning them upside down. A Baltimore clergyman noted that \"\"a new philosophy has risen, maintaining that nothing is everything in general, and everything is nothing in particular. \"\""

"text": "Transcendentalism In his 1794 book The Age of Reason, Thomas Paine advanced a religious philosophy called Deism that struck at the tenets of organized religions, particularly Calvinism as it was practiced by the Puritans. Paine claimed that churches were “set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.” These thoughts were shocking to Americans who were imbued with a strong religious tradition. At the same time, Paine’s ideas appealed to many Americans who were likewise steeped in the rationality of the Enlightenment period and who had difficulty aligning Calvinist doctrine with reason. Calvinism held that the essential nature of infants was evil. This belief was called “infant damnation.” Calvinism also subscribed to a belief that there were only a certain few who were “elect” by God from the beginning to be saved. All others were doomed after death regardless of their beliefs or actions in life. Many people objected to the ideas of infant damnation and the powerlessness of the individual to achieve salvation. Paine’s Deism, by contrast, claimed that human nature was essentially good and that salvation was within reach of every person through faith and good works."

Politics of Social Reform From the 1820s-1840s, the Whig evangelicals believed that with God’s help they could improve the world by improving the individuals within it, and they felt they could use the government to improve individual morality and discipline. During this antebellum period, many social reforms were taken to improve the lives of individuals. Reforms that took place included reforming public schools, prisons, and asylums. In the 19th century, public schools were known as “common” schools, schools that local and state governments built that were supported by taxes. Before being sent to these “common” schools, children were being educated at home where they learned reading, writing, and arithmetic, or in charity schools that were supported by churches or other benevolent organizations. In the 1830s, both Whigs and Democrats felt that providing common schools was a proper function of government, both agreeing that schools could equalize opportunity. The more radical Democrats felt public schools would erase snobbery, and newspapers in 1828 felt children of the rich and the poor would receive a national education that would rid the country of aristocrats and create democrats. Several reformers included Horace Mann,Horace Mann:http://armstrong-history.wikispaces.com/file/view/mannn.jpg Henry Barnard, and Calvin Stowe. All three reformers emphasized the value of character building rather than the three Rs, believing it was a schools’ duty to train children to respect authority, property, hard work, and social order. They felt schools would downplay class divisions and were less interested in democratizing wealthy children than in civilizing the poor."

"text": "\"Biography of Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), American Transcendentalist poet, philosopher, lecturer, and essayist wrote Nature (1836);To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime. Seen in the streets of cities, how great they are! If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.--Ch. 1Initially published anonymously, Emerson's first collection of essays, Nature, is the culmination of much soul-searching and scholarly study by Emerson in the fields of philosophy and religion. Never intending to be regarded as a philosopher, Emerson emerged as one of the original thinkers of his age, oftentimes poetically expressing his ideals;' .... of Nature itself upon the soul; the sunrise, the haze of autumn, the winter starlight seem interlocutors; the prevailing sense is that of an exposition in poetry; a high discourse, the voice of the speaker seems to breathe as much from the landscape as from his own breast; it is Nature communing with the seer.

German transcendentalism (especially as it was refracted by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas Carlyle ), Platonism and Neoplatonism, the Indian and Chinese scriptures, and the writings of such mystics as Emanuel Swedenborg and Jakob Böhme were sources to which the New England Transcendentalists turned in their search for a liberating philosophy. Read More on This Topic American literature: The Transcendentalists Concord, Massachusetts, a village not far from Cambridge, was the home of leaders of another important New England group. The way for this group had been prepared by the rise of a theological system, Unitarianism, which early in the 19th century had replaced Calvinism…READ MOREEclectic and cosmopolitan in its sources and part of the Romantic movement, New England Transcendentalism originated in the area around Concord, Massachusetts, and from 1830 to 1855 represented a battle between the younger and older generations and the emergence of a new national culture based on native materials. It attracted such diverse and highly individualistic figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Orestes Brownson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and James Freeman Clarke, as well as George Ripley, Bronson Alcott, the younger W. E. Channing, and W. H. Channing. In 1840 Emerson and Margaret Fuller founded The Dial (1840–44), the prototypal “little magazine” wherein some of the best writings by minor Transcendentalists appeared. The writings of the Transcendentalists and those of contemporaries such as Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, for whom they prepared the ground, represent the first flowering of the American artistic genius and introduced the American Renaissance in literature ( see also American literature: American Renaissance ). In their religious quest, the Transcendentalists rejected the conventions of 18th-century thought, and what began in a dissatisfaction with Unitarianism developed into a repudiation of the whole established order. They were leaders in such contemporary reform movements as anarchistic, socialistic, and communistic schemes for living (Thoreau, Alcott at Fruitlands, Ripley at Brook Farm ); woman suffrage; better conditions for workers; temperance for all; modifications of dress and diet; the rise of free religion; educational innovation; and other humanitarian causes.

Answer by Magnus Julus18 Confidence votes 6.4KCorrerse / v enirse / soltar o echar la leche (USed in a sexual vulgar context) --- To cum The Spanish term for cum is \"\" leche \"\". This is so in Spain and basically in all of Spanish Latin America as well (with the exception of Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, and the main term is another, \"\"porra\"\"). Leche literally means milk but when the word is used in such secondary manner no one is referring or thinking about the dairy. Yet, just like English's balls in reference to testicles for example (among other such terms), such terminology is mostly reserved for informal settings and informal sexual dialogue; for such, it would come across as being unprofessional and a little vulgar if employed in a professional or formal setting. However, it must be clarified that leche refers to just cum (semen), not the act of cumming or coming as it also does in English. In Spanish, the act of cumming would be \"\"venirse\"\", which also literally means to \"\"to come\"\" just like in English.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Great for when you're driving, but you, yourself, would be seen as a 'tosser' if the gesture is used towards a cyclist who's minding their own business or slow, careful drivers.

Slang is informal language sometimes peculiar to a particular social class or group and its use in Britain dates back to before the 16th century. The language of slang, in common with the English language, is changing all the time; new words and phrases are being added and some are used so frequently by so many, they almost become mainstream. While some slang words and phrases are used throughout Britain (e.g. knackered, meaning \"\"exhausted\"\"), others are restricted to smaller regions, even to small geographical areas. [ 1] The nations of the United Kingdom, which are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all have their own slang words, as does London. London slang has many varieties, the best known of which is rhyming slang. [ 2]English-speaking nations of the former British Empire may also use this slang to a certain extent, but also incorporate their own slang words to reflect their different cultures. Not only is the slang used by British expats, but some of these terms are incorporated into other countries' everyday slang, such as in Australia, Canada and Ireland. British slang has been the subject of many books, including a seven volume dictionary published in 1889. Lexicographer Eric Partridge published several works about British slang, most notably Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, revised and edited by Paul Beale. ["

As a certified British citizen, I can at least be pretentious about this subject with an official document backing me up. What Not to Say: BLOODY: Yes, people do still say bloody in Britain, but it’s considered a swear word reserved for times when you’re really angry and Americans affecting it often over-use it to ill effect. BOLLOCKS: While this word if often used in England as an expletive and the Sex Pistol’s famous album is even called “Never Mind the Bollocks”. The only reason that Americans shouldn’t use this term is because it does not roll nicely off the tongue with the accent. It’s almost impossible to incorporate this phrase seamlessly into American jargon so it’s best not to try and expose yourself as the poser you are. BUGGER: Buggery is a legal term meaning sodomy and saying “Bugger Me” is akin to saying “Fuck Me”. It is used commonly in England when lamenting something bad that has happened. Use it only if you really think you can pull it off."

Person \"\"giving the middle finger\"\"In Western culture, the finger or the middle finger (as in giving someone the (middle) finger or the bird [1] or flipping someone off) [1] is an obscene hand gesture. The gesture communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to \"\"fuck off,\"\" \"\"fuck you,\"\" \"\"shove it up your ass,\"\" \"\"up yours,\"\" or \"\"go fuck yourself.\"\" It is performed by showing the back of a hand that has only the middle finger extended upwards, though in some locales, the thumb is extended. Extending the finger is considered a symbol of contempt in several cultures, especially in the West. Many cultures use similar gestures to display their disrespect, although others use it to express pointing without intentional disrespect toward other cultures. The gesture is usually used to express contempt but can also be used humorously or playfully. The gesture dates back to Ancient Greece and it was also used in Ancient Rome. Historically, it represented the phallus."

The oldest slang use meant staid and conservative, and thus having a life and opinions that run in a narrow groove. Thus the example: 1896 Blackwood’s Mag. July: Schoolmasters as a class are extremely groovy Brought into the late 20th century the term, despite its other, far more widespread and positive use, was found meaning unfashionable, and in particular, resisting the appeal of drug use. 1968 K.

German settlers also left an influence when Venezuela was contracted as a concession by the King of Spain to the German Welser banking family ( Klein-Venedig, 1528–1546). The Spaniards additionally brought African slaves. This is the origin of expressions such as chévere (\"\"excellent\"\"), which comes from Yoruba ché egberi. Other non-Romance words came from Native languages, such as guayoyo (a type of coffee) and caraota ( black bean ).

There are a great many terms that are specific to individual fandoms; those aren't mentioned here, but if you should wander into a fandom messageboard sometime, you'll hopefully be able to use this as a general guide to what the heck people are talking about. The fact that a lot of fandom vocabulary concerns sexual activity or sexual deviance should not be taken to mean that most fans – or most fanworks – are perverted. As in real life, slang is more likely to become attached to things that people prefer to discuss in euphemistic terms. FANDOM-SPECIFIC ACRONYMSFandoms use acronyms for a lot of things. A few of these will be discussed in detail in the glossary, but there are also more general categories of acronyms. People posting to a messageboard or talking in AIM will often save themselves from having to type a title over and over by abbreviating it: thus 'Harry Potter' is referred to as 'HP', 'Lord of the Rings' as 'Lot R', and 'Pirates of the Carribean' as 'Pot C'.

ASAM says that addiction is much, much more than a behavioral problem involving excessive drugs, sex, gambling or alcohol. When most of us witness compulsive and harmful behaviors in family members, friends, and even public figures, we generally focus on the use of the substance or the obsession target and their behaviors as the problem. These noticeable behaviors, however, are really manifestations of a disease involving several areas of the brain, say ASAM authors of the new definition. ASAM is the USA's largest professional society of doctors dedicated to preventing and treating addiction. Dr. Michael Miller, former president of ASAM, who oversaw the development of the new definition, said: \"\"At its core, addiction isn't just a social problem or a moral problem or a criminal problem. It's a brain problem whose behaviors manifest in all these other areas. Many behaviors driven by addiction are real problems and sometimes criminal acts. But the disease is about brains, not drugs. It's about underlying neurology, not outward actions.\"\""

Admin | Nov 3, 2013Share +1 Tweet Stumble Pin Share3K“The Edge [. . .] There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.” — Hell’s Angels, Hunter S. Thompson In A Nutshell Oftentimes, we think of the terms “psychopath” and “sociopath” as being used interchangeably to describe people who have no conscience and act with no regard to others; in fact, the terms were once fairly interchangeable. Now, however, “psychopath” is usually used in regards to someone who has crossed the line into the criminal element, while a sociopath is of little danger to those around them. A psychopath is the more dangerous of the two, but it’s also the one you’d never suspect a person of being. The Whole Bushel To explain it best, let’s look at what the two terms have in common. Both psychopaths and sociopaths lack a moral compass. They are generally incapable of sympathizing with the feelings of others, and lack the set of ethics that tend to keep society from dissolving into a chaotic mess where everyone only looks out for themselves. They also have a non-existent or impaired sense of disgust, meaning they are able to look at things that would make another person turn away. Now, for the differences and an important disclaimer."

In fact, becoming a life-long learner is an ethical requirement of professional social workers. While there is no definitive list, here are a few qualities and skills required to be a social worker.1. Active Listening Much of a social worker’s role is to listen effectively. This means reflecting back what clients say and being engaged in every conversation so that they know you understand them. Good listening establishes trust and respect early on, so clients will feel comfortable confiding in you. Most importantly, active listening not only builds a therapeutic alliance, but clients also feel seen and understood by you.

"text": "Defining empathy By Phil December 20, 20131 comment Compassion, Digital Empathy, Emotion, Emotion regulation, Psychology Empathy is a complex psychological phenomenon; today there are as many researchers acknowledging discrepancies in the use of the term, as there are inconsistent definitions. Within both psychological science and lacklustre media articles, the word “empathy” has been generalised to allude to a whole host of related, but fundamentally separable, positive social phenomena. It is a contemporary buzzword, abundantly present within the popular science literature and the political rhetoric of the 44th president of the United States. A fact further illustrated by manifold societal projects encouraging us, amongst other things, to “activate”, “embody”, and “realise” empathy. According to some, we are currently living through an empathic revolution, a period that has been dubbed the “ new renaissance ”. Clarifying the “empathy deficit”It is essential, however, that we take a step back from all the hype. In order to make our research meaningful, empathy is a concept that – to paraphrase the psychologist Paul Ekman – requires sharpening, rather than flattening. As the word carries a multitude of meanings, it is necessary for researchers to define precisely what they mean by “empathy” in advance of studying it. Accordingly, in the current post I hope to clarify what we mean by our use of “empathy” within the cosy confines of the CEDE project. In referring to empathy, we find it useful to delineate between at least three components."

There was even a book named after the claim. A review of that book states: As the title suggests, psychopaths are qualitatively different from other people, literally having no conscience. This website which seems to be an information resource for psychopathy states: Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken. I think it is well established that psychopaths lack empathy, which has been shown with differences in brain structure and/or activity, although I don't think it is necessarily valid to conclude that psychopaths have no conscience from that. The definition for conscience is not dependent on empathy, bur rather knowing or having a sense of what is right or wrong. Even with a complete lack of empathy or remorse, why could there be no sense of right and wrong? Is there any validity to the claim that psychopaths lack a conscience?"

When Bill Clinton famously told people \"\"I feel your pain\"\" during his 1992 election campaign, some praised and others ridiculed him for displaying empathy, the sharing or understanding of feelings. Empathy is different from sympathy, which is pity or sorrow for others' misfortunes.

"text": "Empathy First published Mon Mar 31, 2008; substantive revision Thu Feb 14, 2013Despite its linguistic roots in ancient Greek, the concept of empathy is of recent intellectual heritage. Yet its history has been varied and colorful, a fact that is also mirrored in the multiplicity of definitions associated with the empathy concept in a number of different scientific and non-scientific discourses. In its philosophical heyday at the turn of the 19 th to the 20 th century, empathy had been hailed as the primary means for gaining knowledge of other minds and as the method uniquely suited for the human sciences, only to be almost entirely neglected philosophically for the rest of the century. Only recently have philosophers become again interested in empathy in light of the debate about our folk psychological mindreading capacities. In the second half of the last century, the task of addressing empathy was mainly left to psychologists who thematized it as a psychological phenomenon and process to be studied by the method of the empirical sciences. Particularly, it has been studied by social psychologists as a phenomenon assumed to be causally involved in creating prosocial attitudes and behavior. Nevertheless, within psychology it is at times difficult to find agreement of how exactly one should understand empathy; a fact of which psychologists themselves have become increasingly aware. The purpose of this entry is to clarify the empathy concept by surveying its history in various philosophical and psychological discussions and by indicating why empathy was and should be regarded to be of such central importance in understanding human agency in ordinary contexts, in the human sciences and for the constitution of ourselves as social and moral agents.1.

"text": "What Is Compassion? Compassion literally means “to suffer together.” Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related. While empathy refers more generally to our ability to take the perspective of and feel the emotions of another person, compassion is when those feelings and thoughts include the desire to help. Altruism, in turn, is the kind, selfless behavior often prompted by feelings of compassion, though one can feel compassion without acting on it, and altruism isn’t always motivated by compassion. While cynics may dismiss compassion as touchy-feely or irrational, scientists have started to map the biological basis of compassion, suggesting its deep evolutionary purpose. This research has shown that when we feel compassion, our heart rate slows down, we secrete the “bonding hormone” oxytocin, and regions of the brain linked to empathy, caregiving, and feelings of pleasure light up, which often results in our wanting to approach and care for other people.

"text": "\"What Is Azithromycin (Zithromax)?19 Reviews | Get Coupons Azithromycin is the generic name for a prescription drug available as Zithromax, Zmax, and Z-Pak. The drug is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, such as cat-scratch disease, ear infections, infections of the skin or surrounding tissue, and throat or tonsil infections. Azithromycin is also used to treat lung and other respiratory infections, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, community acquired pneumonia, some cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and whooping cough (pertussis). Doctors may also prescribe azithromycin for genital infections and sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, infections of the urethra or cervix, genital ulcers, and severe pelvic inflammatory disease. Azithromycin belongs to group of drugs known as macrolide antibiotics. They work by preventing bacteria from making their own proteins. As with other antibiotics, to prevent the spread of drug-resistant infections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly advises doctors to prescribe the drug only when there is proof, or a strong suspicion, that the infection is caused by bacteria against which azithromycin is effective. The FDA first approved azithromycin under the brand name Zithromax in 1991. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals manufactures the drug. Azithromycin Warnings Azithromycin can cause abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart, which may lead to deadly irregular heart rhythm, according to a special warning by the FDA in 2012."

It is commonly prescribed for bacterial infections that cause tonsillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, middle ear infections and some sexually transmitted diseases, like gonorrhea and Chlamydia. It works well against infections caused by most forms of mycobacteria. Unfortunately, this effective antibiotic has been shown to cause for some people side effects that have a great range of severity from rashes to intestinal reactions. The list is long and can includes: diarrhea that can contain water or blood; upset stomach with nausea, constipation or vomiting; loss of appetite; a low grade fever; tired feeling; headache; hearing complications; dark urine; yellowing of the skin or eyes; and heart complications with irregular heartbeats. In addition to these complications, some patients note anxiety, nervousness, and sleeping problems. Remember, that many people are fine taking azithromycin and have no problems with this medication. There are fewer reactions and side effects when the tablets are taken with food or milk. The severe skin reactions can be the scariest for patients. The aforementioned fever has been accompanied with a sore, red throat that swells quickly, along with severe swelling in the face and tongue."

Its been about 30 hours and I feel a little better but I still have a discomfort. Guest over a year ago C&G co-infections are *really* common, so here's the regimen: Chlamydia: Standard dose for Chlamydia is one (1) dose of one (1) gram of Zithromax (Azithromycin) for uncomplicated cases. If you take it in tablet form you may eat 2 hours before/after If you take it in capsule form you may NOT eat 2 hours before/after 48 hours and all symptoms should be gone. If not, you should get yourself checked for gonorrhea - which often co-infects. Gonorrhea: Standard dose for Gonorrhea is 400mg of Cefixime Same rules apply for tablet/capsule as Zithromax You may take it all in one shot but your stomach and other organs may not appreciate it. It may also wipe out most of the beneficial bacteria in your guts and give you the runs. You may want to take the Cefixime and then the Zithromax before you go to bed - be SURE to drink plenty of water and eat lightly.

This azalide is derived from erythromycin by adding a nitrogen atom into the lactone ring of erythromycin A. Azithromycin is sold under the brand names Zithromax® and Sumamed®, and is one of the world's best-selling antibiotics. History Since the 1970s, PLIVA's (Croatian pharmaceutical company, based in Zagreb, Croatia) research team, led by Dr Slobodan Dokic, had been working in the area of macrolide antibiotics 1. In 1981, his team of researchers, Gabrijela Kobrehel, Zrinka Tamburasev and Gorjana Radobolja-Lazarevski, synthesised a novel antibiotic named azithromycin, the first member of a new class of macrolide antibiotics, termed azalides. Azithromycin dihydrate was obtained from the erythromycin molecule and demonstrated superior properties. It was patented in 1981, and was later found by Pfizer's scientists while going through patent documents. In 1986 Pliva and Pfizer signed a licensing agreement which gave Pfizer exclusive rights for the sale of azithromycin in Western Europe and the United States. Pliva brought their azithromycin on the market in Central and Eastern Europe under the brand name of Sumamed in 1988, and Pfizer under the brand name Zithromax in 1991. Because of its exceptional therapeutic properties azithromycin became one of the most successful drugs worldwide. From its early trials, it proved to be an extremely efficient antibiotic with expanded and enhanced antibacterial activity (particularly against gram-negative pathogens), prolonged and higher tissue concentration and a low incidence of gastrointestinal side effects compared to other similar antibiotics."

Info as follows. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100003113.html Supplement from 01/30/2007 02:20pm: Zithromax capsules and suspension contain the active ingredient azithromycin, which is a type of medicine called a macrolide antibiotic. ( NB. Azithromycin is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.) Azithromycin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Azithromycin works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. Azithromycin therefore stops the spread of infection and remaining bacteria are killed by the body's immune system or eventually die. Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of infections."

"text": "Best Medication for Sufferers of OCD, MDD and Anxietywritten by: Rene Wolf • edited by: Jacqueline Chinappi • updated: 8/13/2010Many individuals with a mental illness diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder, major depressive disorder and/or anxiety will have excellent results with the use of medications. SSRI’s are the most widely prescribed medications in the treatment of OCD. It is not uncommon for those suffering with obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD) to develop other forms of mental illness. Major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are the most common diagnosis’s that are associate with OCD. The addition of these disorders can interfere with or complicate treatment if they are not addressed. The use of medications can be beneficial in reducing the anxiety and depression as well as help with the symptoms of OCD, however, the medications are not meant to, nor can they stop the obsessions. The medications will lessen the symptoms of MDD and GAD that often prevent the patient from continuing the full spectrum of therapy. So, what is the best medication for ocd with mdd and anxiety Images Prescribed Medications Used in Treatment Of OCD: Two types of medications have been used as effective treatment for the treatment of OCD, tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). Research has shown that people suffering with OCD may have an imbalance or less serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, than what is needed. Due to the decrease in serotonin, those diagnosed with OCD are prescribed SSRI’s which is the preferred medication as part of the treatment."

"text": "Fiji Food Traditional Fijian food is a wonderful amalgam of fresh, local ingredients found in the tropics and the traditional preparations and cooking methods passed down the generations. Coconut, fish, rice, taro, sweet potatoes, cassava and breadfruit are the main components in local Fijian dishes. Lovo is a Fijian delicacy prepared for communal events such as a weddings and festivals. A makeshift underground oven is fashioned by digging a hole into the ground and lining it with coconut husks, which are then lit on fire and covered by stones. Meats, fish and vegetables wrapped in banana leaves are then placed on top of the heated stones and cooked for about two and a half hours. Most large resorts in Fiji have a lovo night once a week. Another national delicacy is kokodo, raw mahi mahi (a type of fish) marinated in coconut cream, lime, onions and tomatoes. Coconut cream is an important ingredient in two other Fijian delicacies: Rourou, a dish made of taro leaves, and tavioka, a baked dish made of tapioca and mashed bananas. Duruka, an unusual asparagus-like vegetable that is seasonal during the months of April and May, is also a popular traditional Fijian dish. The national drink of Fiji is kava, which was traditionally prepared by virgins, who chewed the root of the pepper plant before mixing it with water, but is now made in a more hygienic fashion: by pounding the root in a wooden bowl."

At the time, I knew that silica promoted healthy hair but it wasn't until I started actually researching the properties of the mineral that I really became convinced of its value to my overall health. So far from my online research, I've learned that silica essentially is available in two main forms. Commercial silica products are usually derived from vegetal or colloidal sources. Horsetail silica extracted from a plant source. This type of silica is readily available, at a reasonable cost, in most health food stores. I first heard of horsetail silica years ago on the hair boards. Back then, the supplement went through the typical \"\"hair craze of the moment\"\" as did many other items.

It’s hilarious and sensational all at once – and sadly over in a jiffy. I flew to Suva, the capital city of Fiji, purely to visit Pure Fiji. These divine beauty products sold all over the world in 5-star hotels are made right here in a factory with a spa attached – and a yoga/zumba studio that they’ve just built next door. Candles and smellies We’re staying at the Novotel, about 10 minutes out of Suva on a calm little piece of ocean at Lami Bay. The hotel driver hurtled us through the pot-holed roads through the maze of streets, traffic lights and round-abouts that weave across this city of about 200,000 people. I’m glad he did, cos I wouldn’t like to be in charge of the steering wheel. The city has a commercial hub with shops, a beautiful cinema and plenty of eateries, but to get to it you pass yards with broken down cars, dilapidated buildings and the local prison with a wall sign-written by Vodafone. Then suddenly with a left turn we pulled into the car park of Pure Fiji with an entrance just as you’d expect such a luxurious range of products to have – exotic plants and stone floors. Started in 1996 by (the now 60-something) Gaetane Austin and her daughter Andree in their kitchen making soaps with virgin coconut oil, it’s a totally different empire today."

"text": "The Language When the earliest inhabitants of Fiji arrived 3500 years ago, they brought with them the language of the homeland they had set sail from – an island in Vanuatu, or possibly the Solomons (but certainly not Africa!) That language has changed and splintered over the years into a multitude of different ‘communalects’ now numbering more than 300. This is because language divides naturally as people spread out, and there may have been some additional input from more recent immigrants from other islands lying to the west. The Fijian ‘communalects’ belong to the enormous Austronesian language family, which means they are related to thousands of other languages spanning the globe from Malagasy in the west to Rapanui (Easter Island) in the east, from Aotearoa (New Zealand) in the south to Hawaii and Taiwan in the north. The family includes such important national languages as Tagalog (Philippines) and Malay. After Fiji had been settled, the flow of population continued north and east. The languages of Polynesia (such as Maori, Tahitian, Tongan, Samoan and Hawaiian), the language of the tiny island of Rotuma to the north of Fiji, and of course their speakers, all originated in Fiji more than 3000 years ago. These relationships can be clearly seen in the following table of selected words. The early missionaries had a keen appreciation of the importance of using local language in their work, and by 1840 had already devised an excellent spelling system for Fijian as well as published a number of books in different ‘communalects’. When the need for a standard language became apparent, they selected the language of Bau, the tiny island off the south-east coast of Viti Levu which was, and in some ways still is, the seat of the major power in Fijian politics."

Fiji straddles the 180 degree longitude line (which crosses land on a remote tip of Vanua Levu and again near the centre of Taveuni).

Understand [ edit]Fiji is the product of volcanic mountains and warm tropical waters. Its majestic and ever-varied coral reefs today draw tourists from around the world, but were the nightmare of European mariners until well into the 19th century. As a result, Fijians have retained their land and often much of the noncommercial, sharing attitude of people who live in vast extended families with direct access to natural resources. When it came, European involvement and cession to Britain was marked by the conversion to Christianity, the cessation of brutal tribal warfare and cannibalism, and the immigration of a large number of indentured Indian laborers, who now represent nearly half of the population, as well as smaller numbers of Europeans and Asians. Today, Fiji is a land of tropical rainforests, coconut plantations, fine beaches, fire-cleared hills."

By Victoria Stern | Posted January 21, 2008 Posted in: Ever Wondered?, Health Tags: anatomy, biology, Ever Wondered?, food“A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chi-an-ti.” My skin crawls as I hear these infamous words escape the slithering tongue of Dr. Hannibal Lecter — the fictional cannibalistic serial killer from the movie “Silence of the Lambs” — as he details his gruesome man-eating impulses. The vision of Lecter satiating himself on others of his kind makes me wonder how healthy that would be. Cannibalism, the act of a species eating a member of its own kind, is believed to go as far back as prehistoric times in humans, and to have occurred all over the globe at one point or another. The Korowai tribe, which resides on the isolated island of Fiji southeastern Papua, is among the few tribes believed to still consume human flesh. So why is cannibalism not a more common practice, only occurring amid ancient or remote cultures, in times of desperation and starvation, or in our grisly fantasies?"

My question is, even if you begin to eat healthy, is it enough to help correct any health problems by eating alone? In your opinion, would a type of cleansing be advised to allow the body a better chance at regaining the function that was intended, or do you think the body will naturally correct and cleanse itself? Answer: This is a great question and something I educate my clients and students about all of the time. With all the C. R. A. P (Caffiene, Refinded/Processed foods, Alcohol/Aspartame and Pasteurized milk) foods that are out there, most are trying to live the “this for that” approach. That means, eating like CRAP and trying to take herbs, supplements, seeing a chiropractor and acupuncturist, instead of focusing on healthy nutrition and lifestyle. When you see the above, in my clinical opinion, you are treating the symptom and not the etiology. This is not to say they don’t have a place on the healing totem pole, but I feel it is going about it all backwards. We must go within (biochemistry, thoughts, etc) to heal."

Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of the National Congress. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature of Chile. The Constitution of Chile was approved in a national plebiscite in September 1980, under the military government of dictator Augusto Pinochet. It entered into force in March 1981. After Pinochet left power in 1988, saying this country was ready to keep going along with a plebiscite, the Constitution was amended to ease provisions for future amendments to the Constitution. In September 2005, President Ricardo Lagos signed into law several constitutional amendments passed by Congress."

"text": "The Struggle for Women’s Equality in Latin Americaby Donna Goodman / March 13th, 2009A political transformation is taking place in Latin America that is improving the status of women throughout the region. More than half the 20 or so republics in the Western Hemisphere where Spanish and Portuguese are spoken have moved toward the political left within the last decade. A sign of these times is a phrase from Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who refers to himself as a feminist: “True socialism is feminist.” Progressive Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa named “gender justice” — the end to discrimination against women — as part of his vision for 21st century socialism. And at the recent World Social Forum in Brazil, the Assembly of Social Movements issued the following declaration:“The social emancipation process carried by the feminist, environmentalist and socialist movements in the 21st century aims at liberating society from capitalist domination of the means of production, communication and services, achieved by supporting forms of ownership that favor the social interest: small family freehold, public, cooperative, communal and collective property. “Such an alternative will necessarily be feminist since it is impossible to build a society based on social justice and equality of rights when half of humankind is oppressed and exploited. ”This article revolves around the question: to what extent have conditions for women changed as a result of the left trend in Latin American politics? The U. S. has had interests in Latin America throughout the 1800s (the acquisition of much of Mexico being one of them), but Yankee domination throughout the region began in earnest with the Spanish-American war in 1898. It continued, despite Cuba’s breakaway in 1959, for a full century, but is now declining as progressive countries assert their independence. In the process have come economic and social reforms, a number of which have benefited the women of Latin America."

Spain was their only source of goods and merchandise, although it was unable to fulfill the trade demands of its colonies. Furthermore, Charles III 's support for the independence of the United States generated new taxes, causing unrest in Spain's colonies in the Americas, such as the Revolt of the Comuneros (New Granada) and the Rebellion of Túpac Amaru II. Another major tension was the policy of excluding Criollos, or locally born whites, from public administration."

Lockard Get up, stand up, fight now for your rights/ Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight/ Now we've seen the light/ We gonna stand up for our rights. \"\"— Song by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh 1Music had long been a key part of my life before it became a teaching tool and then a scholarly interest. 2Popular and folk music was the soundtrack to my youth in the 1950s and my college and graduate school days in the 1960s but I also became deeply interested in various musics from around the world. Since beginning my teaching career in 1969 I have used music in all of my courses on world, Asian, and African history, to set the mood for each class, convey the flavor of a particular society or time, and illustrate some of the key points for the session. For thirty years I have also taught a general education course on Music, Politics, and Social Change, which uses popular and folk musics to understand the modern history of the United States as well as of Ireland, Jamaica, Trinidad, Chile, Brazil, Nigeria, and South Africa. My interest in musics of various kinds produced two books and several articles on popular music in Southeast Asia as well as various essays on rock, pop, folk, country, and world music; my world history textbook also includes considerable material on music. 3While anthropologists have long addressed issues of popular and mass culture, historians, including world historians, have often neglected popular musics and other mass-mediated cultural developments. This paper arises from material in my Music, Politics, and Social Change course, as well as a longterm writing project on popular music and politics in the modern world that examines the relationship between popular music and politics generally, the role of musicians as political actors and observers, and the way some of these performers used music as a weapon or tool to change, challenge, or overthrow governments or socioeconomic systems they considered unjust. In this essay I look at three key musicians with a political focus and international audience who made a great impact on their societies: Bob Marley in Jamaica, Victor Jara in Chile, and Fela Kuti in Nigeria. Since many North American students have little knowledge of other cultures, these are examples that can also be used in high school and college classroom teaching, perhaps alongside Anglo-American figures such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Lennon, and Bruce Springsteen."

"text": "How to Avoid Altitude Sickness in Chile Submitted by Amy Turner on December 7, 2012 - 14:45Compared with many Latin American countries, travellers to Chile generally get off fairly lightly when it comes to altitude sickness. But although it’s a thin sliver of land that rubs shoulders with the Pacific Ocean along the whole of its length, there are still parts of Chile that might be higher than you’re used to, largely thanks to the towering Andes. For that reason it’s still worth being aware of how altitude sickness could affect you and what you can do about it, because there are plenty of easy steps you can take to lessen the effects. Here we give you the lowdown on the high ground, including what altitude sickness actually is, where in Chile you might be affected, how you can prevent it and where to travel in Chile if you already know you’re a sufferer. What is altitude sickness? Altitude sickness can strike anywhere from elevations of 2,400 metres and upwards, although the vast majority of people will suffer no discomfort at all at that altitude. Interestingly, there is no correlation at all between age, fitness levels or gender and the extent to which people are prone to suffering from altitude sickness, which might be good or bad news depending on your point of view! If you’ve lived all of your life around sea level, however, it’s a good idea to recognise the symptoms of altitude sickness, which generally appear six to ten hours after ascending and could include any of the following: Sickness Fatigue Dizziness Insomnia Pins and needles Shortness of breath Nosebleed Rapid pulse Drowsiness Swollen hands and feet In Chile you’re unlikely to suffer from anything worse than that, but in very extreme cases altitude sickness can lead to confusion, disorientation and unconsciousness so it’s best to identify the symptoms early and head lower down if you feel discomfort. Where might you suffer in Chile? The great thing about Chile’s extraordinary length and variety of landscapes is that many of its most iconic sights are in areas that won't cause any problems with altitude at all."

Breaking Bad is coming to an end and Gus Fring's backstory was never delved into again following his assassination by Walter White, As Tom Cook notes, the series and the character's actor attempt to explain his background by intimating that his family was somehow important in or connected to the regime of former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet. This seems improbable as: Gus Fring was portrayed as being an Afro-Chilean (a Chilean of African descent). This is an exceptionally tiny group which is almost exclusively concentrated in and round the northern Chilean city of Arica, far the cities of Santiago and Valparaiso, the seats of Chilean power. Augusto Pinochet's regime was (charitably) neo-facist and had little to do with the Amerindian or even the mestizo minorities in Chile. The Afro-Chileans have been largely marginalized in Chilean society. General Pinochet, while influential in South America, had exceptionally limited influence in Mexico."

"text": "\"definition : mestizo Mestizo (; Peninsular Spanish: , Latin American Spanish: ) is a term traditionally used in Spain, Latin America, and to a lesser extent, in the Philippines which originally meant a person of combined European and Amerindian descent, regardless of where the person was born. The term was used as an ethnic/racial category in the casta system that was in use during the Spanish Empire's control of their American colonies. Nowadays though, particularly in Latin America, Mestizo has become more of a cultural term, with culturally mainstream Latin Americans regarded or termed as Mestizos regardless of their actual ancestry, and with the term \"\"Indian\"\" being reserved exclusively for people who have maintained a separate indigenous ethnic identity, language, tribal affiliation, etc. Consequently, today, the vast majority of Spanish speaking Latin Americans are regarded as Mestizos. However, Uruguayans and Argentineans are usually not considered Mestizos because of their dominant European origin. The term mestizaje – taking as its root mestizo or \"\"mixed\"\" – is the Spanish word for miscegenation, the general process of mixing ancestries. To avoid confusion with the original usage of the term , mixed people started to be referred to collectively as . In some Latin American countries, such as Mexico, the concept of the \"\"mestizo\"\" became central to the formation of a new independent identity that was neither wholly Spanish nor wholly indigenous, and the word mestizo acquired its current meaning, with it being used by the government to refer to all Mexicans who do not speak indigenous languages, including people of complete European or indigenous descent as well as Asians and Africans. In colonial Venezuela, was more commonly used instead of . means being mixed without specifying which mixture; it was used to describe anyone born in the Americas whose ancestry was a mixture of European, Amerindian, and Black African."

The period is subdivided into the Early Middle Ages, the High Middle Ages, and the Late Middle Ages. In the Early Middle Ages, depopulation, deurbanization, and barbarian invasions, which began in Late Antiquity, continued. The barbarian invaders formed new kingdoms in the remains of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century North Africa and the Middle East, once part of the Eastern Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire ), became an Islamic Empire after conquest by Muhammad 's successors.

Taxonomy Taxonomy is the classification of organisms based upon their physical similarities. The Linnaean taxonomic system is the current system that scientists use to classify all living organisms. In this system, organisms are put into seven major divisions: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, with the class \"\"kingdom\"\" being the broadest category and the class \"\"species\"\" being the narrowest, referring to a single type of organism. For instance, the kingdom called \"\"Animalia\"\" includes all animals, but the species \"\"Homo sapiens\"\" only refers to one creature, humans. Algae The word \"\"algae\"\" refers to a wide variety of organisms that come from many different phyla in the taxonomic system, but all belong to the kingdom \"\"Protista.\"\" All algae contain chlorophyll and can create their own energy, like plants, and are considered plant-like."

Major differences between the presidential and parliamentary republics Martin Novák student number: 19833 word count: 2178 3.5.2014 Introduction In this essay I would like to discuss the topic of major differences between the presidential and parliamentary governmental systems. Since the end of World War I, democratic movements started to spread all across Europe and of course around the world as well. Democratic states started to form from old monarchies and colonial systems and so there was a need for a system of government that would be fitting for the majority of the new states. The decision whether to choose the presidential, semi-presidential or parliamentary governmental system was entirely up to each states. Usually states with absolute monarchies tend to lean towards the presidential or semi- presidential system, on the other hand states with constitutional monarchies like the United Kingdom chose the parliamentary system. However, in the case of the UK, it still remained constitutional monarchy, it just adopted some elements of parliamentary governmental system. In the first part of this essay I would like to present a quick overview of both presidential and parliamentary systems and their brief descriptions. In the second part I would like to discuss advantages and disadvantages of each system and also the differences between them. In the final part I will provide you with the comparison of the governmental system of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic."

"text": "The terms “ Persian ” and “Iranian” are often used interchangeably, and many people argue that they are synonyms; others, however, draw a distinction to the effect that to be Persian is a claim to a certain ethnicity, while to be Iranian is a claim to a particular nationality. As such a person could be one without necessarily also being the other, though this is a matter of some debate. The modern country of Iran sits within the boundaries of what was once the ancient kingdom of Persia. That kingdom also extended into what are now other countries, too, however, including Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. Most people who consider themselves Persian use the term as a description of their ethnic background, and the majority of these people are also Iranian — but not always. Difference Between Ethnicity and Nationality In most cases the word “Persia” today means Iran, because the country of Iran formed over the heart of the ancient Persian empire and most of its original citizens were inhabitants of that kingdom. Somewhat confusingly, however, the designations “Persian” and “Iranian” don’t necessarily mean the same thing. Modern Iran is a country of many different ethnic and tribal groups. People who identify as Persian make up the majority, but they are joined by significant numbers of Azeri, Gilaki, and Kurdish people, too. All are citizens of Iran and thus Iranians, but only some can trace their lineage to Persia."

They had to know what was safe to eat or to use in various ways, as well as what organisms could harm them. When men began to explore new lands, they almost always included one or more naturalists to collect and/or catalog the plants and animals in each area. Over 2000 years ago the Greek philosopher Aristotle categorized living things as plants or animals. They were also classified as land, water, or air dwellers. During the Middle Ages, names were given in Latin to all known creatures. In the mid-1700s, the Swedish biologist, Carolus Linnaeus, shortened the long descriptive terms for each organism to a binomial system, using only the genus (group) and species (individual kind) name. For example, the two oaks shown below belong to the genus Quercus (always italicized or underlined) for oaks, and phellos or rubra (always in lower case italics or underlined), for the willow or red oak.

In this classification, there are eight major taxonomical ranks (levels) defined for an animal, plant, or a microbe; Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. This is a hierarchical classification system where all the living beings are classified into species which has all the above eight Taxonomical Ranks according to well recognized rules and regulations (ex – International Code for Botanical Nomenclature – ICBN, for naming of plants) by international bodies. Ranking varies from Domain (the largest rank) from species (the smallest rank); Phylum and Class lie in between Domain and Species. An example for a classification – Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ),Domain – Eukaria Kingdom – Animalia Phylum – Chordata Class – Mammalia Order – Proboscidea Family – Elephantidae Genus – Elephas Species – Elephas maximus Phylum Phylum (plural – Phyla) is the third highest taxonomical rank located in between Kingdom (higher to phylum) and Class (or in some cases Sub-phylum). There are about 86 phyla (35 animal phyla, 11 plant phyla, 6 fungi phyla, 29 bacteria phyla and 5 archaeal phyla) described. Generally phylum is referred in animal classification systems, whereas Division (similar rank to phylum) is found in plant and fungi classification instead of phylum. Division (phylum) Angiospermae (flowering plants) is the largest phylum of all and Phylum Arthropoda is the largest group for animal in which about 75% of all animal species are found. Class Class is generally known as the 4th highest taxonomical rank (if we consider sub-phylum and super class the rank would be sixth) in between phylum (higher to class) and order (sometimes sub-class, infra class or super order).

By the end of this tutorial you should have a fundamental understanding of: The life histories and classifications of Kingdoms Stramenopila (Phyla Bacillariophyta, Chrysophyta, Oomycota, and Phaeophyta), Rhodophyta Chlorophyta, and Slime molds. The organisms that caused the \"\"Great Potato Famine\"\" in Ireland, and the outbreak of downy mildew that nearly destroyed the French wine industry The basic characteristics of algae, seaweeds, and kelps The relationship between plants and photosynthetic protists The relationship of the Amoebozoa to fungi and animals Performance Objectives (for both tutorials covering the Protists): Describe the general characteristics of the protists Summarize the basic classification of protists Identify monophyletic, parpaphyletic and polyphyletic groups For each taxonomic group of protists, identify the major characteristic (s) of that group and be able to discuss representatives that demonstrate the diversity of the group Explain different ways in which protists impact humans, either directly or indirectly Figure 1. The Classification of Eukaryotes. ( Click to enlarge)Introduction to Kingdom Stramenopila Stramenopiles (Fig. 3) are a remarkably diverse, monophyletic group that includes: planktonic diatoms, small single-celled or colonial freshwater protists (golden algae), large multicellular marine seaweeds (brown algae), and water molds, which include the pathogen responsible for the potato blight that drove millions of people in Ireland hungry in the nineteenth century. Although this group is diverse, they all share a common ancestral trait."

"text": "The Hellenistic World Contents Introduction Alexander the Great and his successors Hellenistic civilization Government and warfare Society and economy Religion and philosophy Culture: literature, art and architecture Mathematics, Science and Technology Further study Map of the Hellenistic period Introduction When people think of Greek history, they tend to skip more or less directly from the conquests of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Roman empire. The two centuries in between are hastily passed over, a time of little significance so far as the advance of civilization is concerned – or so they think. They are wrong. The Greeks referred to themselves as the “Hellenes”, and classical Greek civilization is therefore sometimes labelled “Hellenic”. Modern scholars distinguish the phase of Greek civilization which followed Alexander’s conquests from the earlier, Classical age by giving it the label “Hellenistic”: that period when Greek civilization spread right across the Middle East and beyond and in the process was subtly changed by its interaction with the cultures of the conquered populations. Advances in Greek art, philosophy and science continued apace, and some of the greatest names of Greek civilization, such as Euclid and Archimedes, belong to this period. Nevertheless, Hellenistic civilization represents something of a fusion of many cultures. In government, religion, thought and art, elements from different traditions are mingled together in a fascinating melange. Alexander the Great and his Successors Alexander, king of Macedon, invaded the Persian empire in 334 BCE with an army composed of troops from all over Macedonia and Greece. Ten years later he had completed the conquest of this empire, and more; he had even brought parts of India under his rule."

The Kingdom of Italy ( Italian: Regno d'Italia) was a state which existed from 1861—when King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia was proclaimed King of Italy —until 1946—when a constitutional referendum led civil discontent to abandon the monarchy and form the modern Italian Republic. The state was founded as a result of the unification of Italy under the influence of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which can be considered its legal predecessor state. Italy declared war on Austria in alliance with Prussia in 1866 and received the region of Veneto following their victory. Italian troops entered Rome in 1870, thereby ending more than one thousand years of Papal temporal power. Italy entered into a Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1882, following strong disagreements with France about the respective colonial expansions. However, even if relations with Berlin became very friendly, the alliance with Vienna remained purely formal as the Italians were keen to acquire Trentino and Trieste, corners of Austria-Hungary populated by Italians."

Whales actually do all of these things! Whales are warm blooded, which means they keep a high body temperature that does not change in the cold water. Whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, walruses, and many other marine animals are mammals, not fish. The marine mammals exist because about 50 to 60 millions of years ago, some mammals wandered off of the land and into the ocean, and there they evolved into different types of marine mammals. For whales and dolphins, their front legs turned into flippers. Their back legs became really tiny, so tiny that you can't even see them when you look at these animals, but they have hind legs still inside their bodies -- if you see a skeleton of a whale you can see it has tiny leg bones near its tail. Here's an interesting discussion of the hind legs in whales and dolphins:whaleswhale-evolution Like mammals, whales and dolphins breathe air through a pair of lungs, they are warm-blooded, their young drink milk, and they have hair (although very little).

There are Many Vertebrate Subgroups Here is a list of the basic vertebrate subgroups with some distinguishing features:- The jawless fish, not quite full-fledged vertebrates but much closer than lancelets are. These lack jaws (their teeth are embedded in tough rings around the mouth opening) or paired fins, and have other features not found in advanced vertebrates (for example, they retain their notochords through their lives).- The cartilage fish, whose skeleton is made of cartilage, making it less rigid than the bone skeletons of other vertebrates. Although thought to be more primitive than other groups, some of the cartilage fish have been shown by recent research to be much more \"\"evolved\"\" than folks really expected.

But what exactly is it that makes a mammal a mammal, and not a reptile, a bird or a fish? On the following slides, you'll learn about the eight main mammal characteristics, ranging from hair to four-chambered hearts.01of 08Hair and Fur Getty Images All mammals have hair growing from some parts of their bodies during at least some stages of their life cycles. Mammalian hair can take on several different forms, including thick fur, long whiskers, defensive quills and even horns. Hair serves a variety of functions: insulation against the cold, protection for delicate skin, camouflage against predators (as in zebras and giraffes ), and sensory feedback (as witness the sensitive whiskers of your everyday house cat). Generally speaking, the presence of hair goes hand-in-hand with a warm-blooded metabolism. What about mammals that don't have any visible body hair, like whales or Olympic swimmers? In the case of whales and dolphins, many species have sparse amounts of hair during the earliest stages of their development, while others retain wispy patches of hair on their chins or upper lips. And, of course, even completely hairless-looking humans still retain the hair follicles in their skin!02of 08Mammary Glands Getty Images Unlike other vertebrates, mammals nurse their young with milk produced by mammary glands. Though they're present in both males and females, in most mammal species mammary glands only fully develop in the females, hence the presence of smaller nipples on males (including male humans)."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 21 Basic Mammal Groups Share Flipboard Email Printby Bob Strauss Updated October 27, 2017Classifying a family of vertebrates as broad and diverse as mammals is a notoriously difficult undertaking: different people have different views about what constitutes orders, superorders, clades, cohorts, and all the other confusing terms biologists use when untangling the branches of the tree of life.01of 21Aardvarks (Order Tubulidentata)Getty Images The aardvark is the only living species in order Tubulidentata. This mammal is characterized by its long snout, arched back and coarse fur, and its diet consists primarily of ants and termites, which it procures by tearing open insects nests with its long claws. Aardvarks live in the savannas, woodlands and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, their range extending from southern Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, on the southernmost tip of the continent. The closest living relatives of the aardvark are even-toed hoofed mammals and (somewhat surprisingly) whales!02of 21Armadillos, Sloths and Anteaters (Order Xenarthra)Getty Images Originating in South America about 60 million years ago, only five million years after the dinosaurs had gone extinct, xenarthrans are characterized by their oddly shaped vertebrae (hence their name, Greek for \"\"strange joint.\"\") The sloths, armadillos and anteaters that belong to this order also have the most sluggish metabolisms of any extant mammals, and the males have internal testicles. Today, xenarthrans lurk on the fringes of the mammalian mainstream, but during the Cenozoic Era, they were some of the largest animals on earth: witness the five-ton prehistoric sloth Megatherium, as well as Glyptodon, the two-ton prehistoric armadillo.03of 21Bats (Order Chiroptera)Wikimedia Commons The only mammals capable of powered flight, bats are represented by about a thousand species divided into two main families: megabats and microbats. Also known as flying foxes, megabats are about the size of squirrels, and eat only fruit; microbats are much smaller, and enjoy more varied diets, ranging from the blood of grazing animals to insects to the nectar of flowers. Most microbats, but very few megabats, have the ability to echolocate--that is, bounce high-frequency sound waves off their surroundings in order to navigate dark caves and tunnels.04of 21Carnivores (Order Carnivora)Wikimedia Commons The order of mammals without which no TV nature documentary would be complete, carnivores are divided into two broad categories: feliforms and caniforms. Feliforms include not only obvious felines (like lions, tigers, cheetahs and house cats), but also hyenas, civets and mongooses, while caniforms extend beyond dogs and wolves to also include bears, foxes, raccoons, and numerous other hungry critters, including the classic pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses). As you may already have surmised, carnivores are characterized by their sharp teeth and claws; they're also equipped with at least four toes on each foot.05of 21Colugos (Order Dermoptera)Wikimedia Commons Never heard of colugos?"

Crocs eat wide range of different animals—from large ungulates and medium-size birds to the small lizards. It’s true that crocs spend the bulk of their time in water they are equally capable to hunt on land. Crocodiles wait for the right moment to strike on a prey and thus they are often called sit-and-wait predators. They remain in the water motionless while focusing on the prey almost all the time. What Do Crocodiles Eat While lions rule the land in Africa crocodiles are at the top of its food chain in water. They often make their presence feel to marine animals no matter how large they might become. Its amazing ability to chase down animals on land makes it even more fearsome to many wild animals. Although crocs are extremely strong that they can kill large mammals yet they generally prefer to prey on medium-size or small mammals. Young crocodiles are not skilled enough to grab large mammals such as zebras for zebras can easily crush the croc’s jaws with their powerful kick."

Professor Joe Cummins When the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil was recently found to be contaminated with DNA, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lost no time in declaring that the DNA was not a contaminant but a harmless by-product of vaccine production. I disagree; that extraneous DNA is potentially harmful. It should also be noted that the safety and efficacy of HPV vaccines have been controversial from the start (see [1] The HPV Vaccine Controversy and other articles in the series, Si S 41). The virus HPV establishes productive infections only in keratinocytes of the skin or mucous membranes. While the majority of the known HPV types cause no symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts (verrucae), while others can lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, oropharynx and anus. Recently, HPV has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, HPV 16 and 18 infections are strongly associated with an increased risk of developing throat cancer. Worldwide in 2002, an estimated 561 200 new cancer cases (5.2 %) were attributable to HPV, making HPV one of the most important infectious causes of cancer, and cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. In 2008, there were an estimated 529 000 new cases of cervical cancer and 274 000 deaths; more than 85 % of the deaths in developing countries, where it accounts for 13 % of all female cancers [2].

Cigarette smoking is the principal risk factor for development of lung cancer. Passive exposure to tobacco smoke ( passive smoking) also can cause lung cancer. The two types of lung cancer, which grow and spread differently, are small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). The stage of lung cancer refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread in the body. Treatment of lung cancer can involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy as well as newer experimental methods. The general prognosis of lung cancer is poor because doctors tend not to find the disease until it is at an advanced stage. Five-year survival is around 54% for early stage lung cancer that is localized to the lungs, but only around 4% in advanced, inoperable lung cancer. Smoking cessation is the most important measure that can prevent the development of lung cancer.

Which type of genetic disease can be identified from the visual analysis of the number of chromosomes present in a karyotype? The counting and identification of chromosomes in the karyotype of an individual can diagnose aneuploidies, diseases caused by an alteration in the number of chromosomes in relation to the normal number in the species.3. Why, in the preparation of a karyotype analysis, is the use of a substance such as colchicine interesting? Colchicine is a substance that prevents the formation of microtubules and therefore of spindle fibers in cell division. Under the action of this drug, the cell division is interrupted at metaphase and anaphase does not occur."

In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors."

But recently, a more complex picture has emerged, one that shows that some cancers are caused by epigenetic changes—tiny chemical tags that accumulate over time and can turn genes on or off. Unlike genetic damage, epigenetic changes can sometimes be reversed, and with treatments that are less toxic than conventional chemotherapy. In this interview, hear from Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, whose pioneering clinical work with a form of leukemia known as MDS is showing the promise of epigenetic therapy. The best example of an epigenetic phenomenon is the face, says Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa (pictured here). Skin, eyes, teeth, and hair all look different, but they contain exactly the same genetic information.

"text": "\"The Genetic Testing Controversy Tim Friesen Copyright 1997Genetic screening uses a variety of laboratory procedures to find out if a person has a genetic condition or disorder or is likely to develop a disease based on his or her genetic makeup. Individuals may wish to be tested if the family shows a history of one specific disease such as Huntington's Disease or breast cancer, if they show symptoms of a genetic disorder which could be improved by early diagnosis, or if they are planning a family and are concerned about the possibility of passing on a genetic trait to their offspring. This last type of screening can look at the parent's genotype or look at the genotype of the fetus or newborn. This type of screening can also look for a specific disorder or can be done as a general test for common disorders as in prenatal testing or more commonly newborn screening. Genetic tests use techniques to examine genes or markers near the genes. Direct testing for diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis and Sickle Cell Anemia come from an analysis of an individual's specific genes. A technique called linkage analysis, or indirect testing, is used when the gene cannot be directly identified but can be located within a specific region of a chromosome. This testing requires additional DNA from an affected family member for comparison. Because each person's DNA is unique (except for identical twins), genetic tests also can be used for individual identification (\"\"DNA fingerprinting\"\"). This technique is often used in forensic work, where samples from a crime scene such as blood or semen could be used as incriminating or acquitting evidence."

"text": "Cell cycle regulation and cancerby R. Bernards Cancer results from multiple genetic alterations in genes that control various aspects of Cell proliferation,differentiation orprogrammed cell death (apoptosis). Many of the genes that are mutated in human cancer are directly involved in regulation of the cell division cycle, because such genes are most intimately linked to the machinery that controls cell proliferation. A basic understanding of the machinery that drives the cell division cycle (or cell cycle, for short) is therefore indispensable for the study of molecular oncology. Broadly, we can distinguish two groups of cancer genes: oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes are mutated versions of genes whose normal function is to stimulate cell proliferation. Tumor suppressor genes normally restrict growth and are inactivated during tumorigenesis, leading to loss of their growth-inhibitory capacity. In this lecture, I will discuss two major tumor suppressor pathways:1. The p16-cyclin D-p Rb-E2F pathway.2. The p19 ARF-Mdm2-p53 pathway. Both pathways are frequently deregulated in human cancer and regulate the cell cycle machinery directly."

Part of a series on Anthroposophy General Anthroposophy · Rudolf Steiner Anthroposophical Society · Goetheanum Anthroposophically inspired work Waldorf education Biodynamic agriculture Anthroposophical medicine Camphill Movement · Eurythmy Philosophy The Philosophy of Freedom ·Social threefoldingv t e Anthroposophy is the philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner that postulates the existence of an objective, intellectually comprehensible spiritual world, accessible to human experience through inner development. More specifically, it aims to develop faculties of perceptive imagination, inspiration and intuition through the cultivation of a form of thinking independent of sensory experience, [1] [2] and to present the results thus derived in a manner subject to rational verification. Anthroposophy aims to attain in its study of spiritual experience the precision and clarity attained by the natural sciences in their investigations of the physical world. [ 1]The philosophy has double roots in German idealism and German mysticism [3] and was initially expressed in language drawn from Theosophy. Steiner chose the term anthroposophy (from anthropo-, human, and Sophia, wisdom), which had already been employed occasionally by earlier philosophers, to emphasize the humanistic orientation of his world-conception. Anthroposophical ideas have been applied practically in many areas including Steiner/Waldorf education, special education (most prominently through the Camphill Movement ), biodynamic agriculture, medicine, ethical banking, organizational development, and the arts. [ 1] [4] [5] [6] [7] The Anthroposophical Society has its international center at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. On the one hand, modern critics, particularly Michael Shermer, have termed anthroposophy's application in areas such as medicine, biology, and biodynamic agriculture to be pseudoscience; [8] [9] on the other, anthroposophy has been termed \"\"the most important esoteric society in European history\"\".

"text": "\"It could be argued that the most well-known Australian television star internationally is a kangaroo. Skippy was Australia’s greatest television export, the recent success of soaps like Neighbours notwithstanding. The adventures of a boy and a kangaroo in the Australian bush held tremendous appeal with overseas viewers, and Skippy achieved phenomenal international sales. Running to 91 episodes (plus a feature film), it was sold all over the world, reportedly to at least 128 different countries. And that figure does not take into account the individual sales within countries - for example, the series was shown on over 160 different television stations in the U. S. alone. In fact, from a global viewpoint, Skippy is our most successful programme ever, being more widely recognised than even the iconic Homicide series. The genesis of Skippy can be traced back to even before television began in Australia. In the early 1950’s John Mc Callum, an Australian actor who had been working in England, tried to develop a television series based on the bushranger Ben Hall. Mc Callum reasoned that a series for international release with a unique Australian ingredient would be something different. This ‘unique Australian difference’ was a primary consideration that he applied to his later productions - a kangaroo in Skippy, the Queensland Great Barrier Reef in Barrier Reef and a half-caste Aboriginal detective in Boney."

"text": "\"Strategy: Definitions and Meaning© Fred Nickols 2012Introduction The concept of strategy has been borrowed from the military and adapted for use in business. A review of what noted writers about business strategy have to say suggests that adopting the concept was easy because the adaptation required has been modest. In business, as in the military, strategy bridges the gap between policy and tactics. Together, strategy and tactics bridge the gap between ends and means (Figure 1). This paper reviews various definitions of strategy for the purpose of clarifying the concept and placing it in context. The author's aim is to make the concepts of policy, strategy, tactics, ends, and means more useful to those who concern themselves with these matters. Figure 1 - Strategy & Tactics Some Language Basics Strategy is a term that comes from the Greek strategia, meaning \"\"generalship.\"\" In the military, strategy often refers to maneuvering troops into position before the enemy is actually engaged. In this sense, strategy refers to the deployment of troops. Once the enemy has been engaged, attention shifts to tactics."

Following his graduation, Jarrín hoped to continue his broadcasting career in the United States, arriving on June 24, 1955, and at the time, he had never seen a baseball game. His first experience with baseball was watching the Dodgers on a televised broadcast of the 1955 World Series against the Yankees, and he soon began attending minor league games in Los Angeles at Gilmore Field and Wrigley Field to learn the game. Jarrín was hired as an announcer at KWKW and soon after, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.

INTRODUCTIONThis booklet is a collation of material that I have collected over the twenty-one years that I have been a resident of Dauphin Island. Be assured, there will be errors. At this time in history very few people wrote. In checking records, we often find names spelled differently or names have been changed entirely with immigrants taking on an \"\"Americanized version\"\" Although many of our early settlers in the state of Alabama came in through the Creek Indian Passport System (our U. S. passport system is fashioned after this), Dauphin Island is most unique in that most of our early settlers came in via port. Dauphin's earliest settlers were French followed by Spanish (Creole) with the Greeks' Irish-Scotch arriving later. Many of the early names on the island were Ladnier, Lamy, Raley, Sprinkle, Collier, Patronas, Mallon, Bosarge, and Previtoe. If I have failed to mention some it is not intentional. These early settlers survived fierce hurricanes and until 1954 only had access to the mainland via boat. \"\" They depended upon each other and no one went without."

The city went through tough times during the Vietnam War, when it was conquered by the Viet Cong and held for 24 days, during which the VC slaughtered around 3,000 people suspected of sympathizing with the South, being a highschool graduate or Christian.

Perfume River Orientation [ edit]Guardian statues at the Tomb of Khai Dinh Hue is easy to get a grip on. The main landmark is the Perfume River ( Hương Giang ), with the old city and the Citadel on the north side and the newer city, including most hotels and restaurants, on the south side. Much of the riverside has wisely been done up as a pleasant promenade and park dotted with bizarre sculptures. The tombs are located further south in the outskirts of Hue. Climate [ edit]Hue's weather is infamously bad: the Truong Son Mountains just to the south seem to bottle up all the moisture, so it's usually misty, drizzly or outright rainy."

Hung, a chef and Hanoi native, was introducing me to his city’s classic dish at the restaurant Cha Ca Kinh Ky. “But if I told you, you wouldn’t want to eat it. ”Soon the server returned to deposit on our table a constellation of flavors: a mound of rice noodles, a dollop of shrimp paste, some fish sauce, a couple branches of baby basil, a small bowl of peanuts, and a large bowl of bright green dill and spring onions. Another server brought a frying pan filled with turmeric-laced chunks of ca lang, or Hemibagrus —a genus of catfish—and placed it atop a small portable burner at the center of our table. He mixed in some of the dill and spring onions, and we watched as our meal began to take shape. Photo by Justin Mott Cha ca la Vong originated more than a hundred years ago at the restaurant that gave it its name. If there’s a traveler’s obligation to drink a pint of Guinness in Dublin or eat ragù Bolognese in Bologna, in Hanoi one must eat cha ca La Vong. For a Vietnamese dish, cha ca la Vong is unusual in that it is served exclusively at restaurants—not at the country’s ubiquitous street-side food carts—and cooked at your table. For this latter reason, it is considered a luxury dish."

"text": "\"BACnet™ and Lon Works®: A White Paper David Fisher, Polar Soft® Inc. July 1996Introduction Over the course of the past fifteen years, building owners, managers and consulting/specifying engineers have become increasingly frustrated by incompatibilities and limited opportunities for the integration of building automation and control systems. Although the sophistication and flexibility of networking and communications technologies in general have been increasing geometrically, controls systems for buildings have carried forward a legacy of proprietary thinking which has impeded the natural migration of many of the benefits of open networking technology into building systems. The bottom line effect has been that, while many modern building automation and control systems incorporate some of the latest advances in networking technology, the benefits of interoperability, configuration flexibility, and performance-based pricing have yet to be realized by building owners and operators. Through accident or intent, building automation and controls systems have simply failed to embrace true open systems concepts effectively for building owners. Several solutions have become available recently which promise to change this situation permanently and dramatically. One such solution is called BACnet™: The Building Automation and Controls Network. BACnet is a standard for computers used in building automation and controls systems that has been developed over the past nine years by ASHRAE. In December of 1995, BACnet was also adopted by ANSI, and is now an American National Standard (ANSI/ASHRAE 135-1995). Nearly every major vendor of building automation and controls systems in North America has demonstrated support for BACnet in the form of new products, many of which have been displayed at the annual AHR/ASHRAE show in Atlanta this year. Another completely different solution is called Lon Works® which is a proprietary communications technology which has been marketed for several years by the Echelon Corporation in partnership with Motorola."

In computer networks, computing devices exchange data with each other using connections between nodes ( data links .) These data links are established over cable media such as wires or optic cables, or wireless media such as Wi Fi. Network computer devices that originate, route and terminate the data are called network nodes. [ 1] Nodes can include hosts such as personal computers, phones, servers as well as networking hardware. Two such devices can be said to be networked together when one device is able to exchange information with the other device, whether or not they have a direct connection to each other. In most cases, application-specific communications protocols are layered (i.e. carried as payload) over other more general communications protocols. This formidable collection of information technology requires skilled network management to keep it all running reliably."

The good news is that if you are deficient in any vitamin, such as B-Vitamins, it's likely that adding these nutrients to your diet (in terms of supplements or in food) will decrease your anxiety symptoms. The bad news is that B-Vitamins only work for a select group of people, depending on your nutritional intake. How Severe is Your Anxiety? Natural treatments like B-Vitamins are better for mild anxiety. The more severe your anxiety, the more you need additional support."

The Grand Palace from across the Chao Phraya River Chakri Maha Prasat in the Grand Palace, completed in 1882The Grand Palace ( Thai: พระบรมมหาราชวัง, RTGS : Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang [1]) is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), resided at the Chitralada Royal Villa and his successor King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) at the Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall, both in the Dusit Palace, but the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand. Construction of the palace began on 6 May 1782, at the order of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. Throughout successive reigns, many new buildings and structures were added, especially during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)."

The router connected to the Internet is called the main router, while the other one is called the secondary router. Cascading or bridging can be used to extend the network's range and/or to reduce the number of devices communicating with each router. It cannot increase the total Internet bandwidth of the network beyond the capacity of the main router. LAN to LANConnecting one of the Ethernet ports (or LAN ports) of the main router to one of the Ethernet ports of the secondary router. This type of cascading forms a bridge between both routers and both wireless networks, and requires the main and the secondary routers to be on the same LAN IP segment to allow the computers and other devices to connect to both routers. To do this, you need to disable the secondary router's DHCP server, so that router is really degraded to a simple switch in bridge mode."

How else to explain such excitement over one of the poorest nations in the world, where no port can handle anything larger than a 1,600-TEU ship and where landside infrastructure is in a state most charitably regarded as thoroughly inadequate? Vietnam’s star is definitely on the rise, and has been the past few years because early movers into the Southeast Asian nation gleaned bottom line satisfaction from wages and power costs even lower than those in China. Now everybody who manufactures wants a piece, including shippers and the transportation and logistics companies who would serve them. The trouble is, Vietnam is in a state of construction. It has designs on becoming a “developed” country (whatever that means these days) by 2020, yet port and other infrastructure projects have been delayed significantly. By some estimates, the country won’t have its first deepwater berth - in other words, one capable of handling a ship large enough to provide direct service out of the country - until 2010. For now, Vietnam is a feeder country in the context of global trade, relying on transshipment in one of Asia’s uber ports to get its goods to the rest of the world. On the import side, it relies overwhelmingly on Asia, with eight of every 10 boxes coming into Vietnam provided by its nearby neighbors. Meanwhile, rail service is shoddy, four-lane highways are an exception rather than a rule, and airports are only just beginning to be modernized."

We have a backup modem and phone line which is just like the primary except, of course, its IP address to the outside world is different. The plan is that if the primary line fails, we just move the cable that connects the modem and switch from the primary to the backup modem. It's crude and not exactly real-time but sufficient for our needs. The question is, when the switch-over is made, what happens to the DHCP assigned addresses? The machines already have addresses, but the backup modem doesn't know about them. So what happens?"

"text": "Home > Prescription Drugs > Wellbutrin Wellbutrinby Carol Parkeron June 26, 2012Tweet Brand Names: Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Zyban, Aplenzin Generic name: bupropion Pregnancy Category: CHalf-life: 20 hours What Is Wellbutrin? A common brand name of the generic drug bupropion, Wellbutrin is a mild psychostimulant that works within the brain to improve chemical and hormonal imbalances. Unlike SSRI antidepressants that alter serotonin production, bupropion is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and releaser with the ability to treat a variety of conditions. In 1985, the FDA originally approved bupropion for use as an antidepressant. However, later studies found this drug to be effective as part of smoking cessation programs. Bupropion may be used to help reduce cravings and other withdrawal symptoms due to smoking. Zyban is the brand of bupropion specifically prescribed to help people with smoking problems. Bupropion is available in its generic form as well as a brand name drug. The brand Wellbutrin is manufactured and marketed by pharmaceutical company Glaxo Smith Kline. In brand name forms, bupropion comes as Wellbutrin tablets (75 mg, 100mg, and 150 mg) that may be taken up to 4 times per day and sustained-release tablets (Wellbutrin SR; Zyban 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg) or extended-release tablets (Wellbutrin XL; Aplenzin 150 mg and 300 mg)."

To help you understand all your medication options, here are the facts about different types of antidepressants -- along with some tips on how to use them most effectively.

Antidepressants are a class of drugs that reduce symptoms of depressive disorders by correcting chemical imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain. Chemical imbalances may be responsible for changes in mood and behavior. Neurotransmitters are vital, as they are the communication link between nerve cells in the brain. Neurotransmitters reside within vesicles found in nerve cells, which are released by one nerve and taken up by other nerves."

"text": "Belviq is a new weight loss drug that just became available by prescription this past week, one of only two new weight loss drugs approved by the FDA in the last 13 years. ( The other is Qsymia, which I have already written about.) It is made by Arena Pharmaceuticals. Belviq is the trade name, Lorcaserin is the generic name, and it was called Lorqess during its development. Belviq affects the serotonin receptors in the brain, changing the neurotransmitter action of serotonin, the brain chemical you hear about related to mood. SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are a group of drugs that are mainly used to treat depression, but it has been found that many of the drugs that affect neurotransmitters have lots of other affects, change in appetite among them. Drugs that change the action of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine are used to treat many psychological conditions, even psychotic disorders, because they change the way we think and feel. They can create experience in the psyche like hallucinations, expansive thoughts or euphoria (good mood or feeling), or quell it, like reducing cravings and dark thoughts, or quieting hallucinations and mania. The antidepressant Wellbutrin was found to quiet the cravings of people trying to quit smoking and was then marketed also as Zyban. Some of these drugs were found to increase appetite, cravings, and drive to eat, and some have been found to reduce appetite and cravings."

Learn about natural remedies and lifestyle changes that help. What you’ll learn about high dopamine levels in this article: Symptoms of too much dopamine The link between excess dopamine and addictions Causes of high levels of dopamine How to reduce dopamine levels naturally through lifestyle and supplements If anyone has ever called you an “adrenaline junkie” or your personal mantra is “too much is not enough,” too much dopamine may be a problem for you. Dopamine is a major neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, sleep, learning, memory, the ability to focus, and motor control. It’s your “motivation molecule” that helps you get going in the morning and accomplish what needs to be done throughout the day. It’s in charge of your brain’s pleasure-reward system and is an integral factor in addictions. As with any brain chemical, you want to be in that sweet spot of having just the right amount of dopamine — enough, but not too much. The vast majority of people with brain chemical imbalances have low neurotransmitter levels, not high. ( 1)But if you suspect you have a problem with excess dopamine, know that too much can be equally detrimental to your health, happiness, and mental well-being.

"text": "\"What Is Wellbutrin (Bupropion)?1274 Reviews | Get Coupons Wellbutrin is the brand name for bupropion, a prescription drug that's used to treat depression. It's also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that usually strikes in the fall and winter. Under the brand name Zyban, bupropion has also been prescribed to help people quit smoking. Wellbutrin belongs to the aminoketone class of antidepressants, which are chemically unrelated to the better-known selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac, Paxil, or Zoloft. Wellbutrin moderates the levels and activity of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, but exactly how it works to treat depression is not known. Doctors have also prescribed Wellbutrin off-label to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and in tandem with other medications — particularly SSRIs — to treat bipolar disorder. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally approved Wellbutrin as a treatment for depression in 1985. However, it was withdrawn from the market in 1986 amid findings that it increased the frequency of seizures in non-depressed bulimic patients at the originally recommended dose of 400 to 600 milligrams a day. The FDA reapproved Wellbutrin in 1989 with a lowered daily dose and a warning about the increased risk of seizures. It approved the sustained-release version (Wellbutrin SR) in 1996 and the extended-release version (Wellbutrin XL) in 2003."

While Wellbutrin can have negative side effects, most people do not get high on Wellbutrin and is not addictive. There are anecdotal reports of people attempting to abuse it, but this mostly causes seizures rather than a euphoric high. We’ll look more at Wellbutrin, its uses, and legal classification, here. We invite your questions about Wellbutrin at the end. Medical uses for Wellbutrin Wellbutrin is used to treat depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Binge eating disorder affects 1% to 5% of Americans, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. It can lead to or contribute to obesity. Everyone overeats from time to time, but binge eating disorder is different. It involves regularly eating a lot of food in just a few hours -- even when you're not hungry. Afterward, you feel shame or guilt about it. For more information, Web MD turned to the FDA, drugmaker Shire, and Russell Marx, MD, chief science officer of the National Eating Disorders Association.

Unfortunately for our society, disordered eating is the norm, whether it’s crash dieting, stress eating, or whatever else you want to call it. Because of this, it can be really hard for someone in danger of developing an eating disorder to recognize the slippery slope of the diet they’re on until they’re well on their way down. Clearly, not everyone who diets develops an eating disorder, but research does show that 35% of occasional dieters become pathological dieters, and as many as 25% of those diets will progress into full-blown eating disorders. So when does dieting become dangerous? What’s the difference between a diet and an eating disorder? Sometimes the line is an awfully thin one. A typical diet begins with a longing to lose weight. Often, this longing is coupled with a genuine wish to improve overall health and nutrition. A typical diet ends when either the weight goal is achieved or the dieter stops due to some inadequacy of the regime—too many restrictions, too few calories, etc."

Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, a form of self-starvation; bulimia nervosa, in which individuals engage in repetitive cycles of binge-eating alternating with self-induced vomiting or starvation; binge-eating disorder, which resembles bulimia but without compensatory behaviors (e.g. vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative abuse) to avoid weight gain; and atypical eating disorders, in which people may have fears and unusual behaviors (e.g. chewing and spitting or fear of choking) associated with eating. Although young women comprise the majority of people affected, eating disorders can occur in any age group. One in ten people with an eating disorder is male. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are psychiatric illnesses that center on food and its consumption and are usually characterized by: Excessive preoccupation with food and dissatisfaction with one’s body shape or weight A compulsion to engage in extreme eating habits and unhealthy methods of weight control such as: o Fasting or binge-eating o Excessive exercise o Self-induced vomiting o Chewing and spitting or regurgitating food o Laxative, diuretic, or diet pill abuse. These unhealthy behaviors and preoccupations develop into a ruling passion interfering with physical, psychological and social well-being. Eating disorders have many causes. They may be triggered by stressful life events, including a loss or trauma; relationship difficulties; physical illness; or a life change such as entering one’s teens, starting college, marriage or pregnancy. An eating disorder may develop in association with another psychiatric illness such as a depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or substance abuse. Current research indicates some people are more genetically predisposed to developing an eating disorder than others."

"text": "Seven Tips to Enhance Digestion…And Get the Most Out of the Food You Eat March 30, 2002 By Lori Lipinski Leave a Comment In our fast-paced, fast-food society we have totally lost the connection between our health and the foods we eat. My recent conversation with a client is a perfect example of this “disconnect.” With his permission he said I could share his story as long as I didn’t mention his name, so we’ll call him Bob. Like most of us, Bob has a very busy schedule. He works long hours, has three children and is very involved in their sports. In fact, he says he rarely misses a game. Bob skips breakfast or sometimes has a donut and coffee, mostly has fast food for lunch and eats it in the car while rushing back to work, has a snack out of the vending machine at work in the afternoon, and usually grabs a hot dog or something quick at the game for dinner. Bob’s symptoms include indigestion, “acid reflux,” gas, bloating, constipation, and painful hemorrhoids. He says that he practically lives on antacids and even wakes up to take them two or three times during the night. He went to the emergency room on two occasions for severe gallbladder attacks and had his gallbladder removed two years ago."

"text": "Compulsive Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Binge and compulsive overeating is where someone feels compelled to eat when they are not hungry and who cannot stop when they have had enough. It affects more people than both anorexia and bulimia. We know that 1 in 2 people who seek help for their weight problem eats compulsively. Put another way, about 12 million people in the UK suffer from compulsive overeating to some extent. Statistics Two eating disorder experts, Fairburn and Beglin, have identified rates of binge eating in community studies as follows: About 1 in 2 individuals trying to control their weight say that they have binged in the last month (not stating what is in the binge). 1 in 4 adults of both sexes trying to control their weight have Binge Eating Disorder as defined below. 6% individuals in the adult community as a whole describe themselves as “Compulsive Eaters” with 2% meeting the criteria for full blown Binge Eating Disorder. Another community sample cited by Fairburn 1992, in Oxford hire identified 15% of young women aged 16-24 reporting at least one binge in the previous 3 months. Definitions Experts and the general public differ in their understanding of compulsive overeating and binge eating disorder. Binge Eating Disorder is the name of an eating disorder in which a person is unable to prevent himself or herself from eating large amounts of food, often in a mindless state and in a short space of time; and the eating feels out of control."

Inositol safety and side effects Inositol is available as a natural supplement that’s very effective at treating a wide range of mental health conditions, in some cases even better than the usually prescribed medications. For reasons not yet understood, it works particularly well in women to relieve anxiety, binge eating, PMS and more. As a mood-enhancing nutrient, inositol doesn’t get the attention it deserves. At one time, it was known as vitamin B8 and considered part of the family of B complex vitamins. But once it was discovered that the body could make its own inositol, it was no longer considered a true vitamin. Now it’s a pseudovitamin, a neglected stepchild of the vitamin B complex. But used as a remedy or a supplement to augment deficiency states, inositol is actually quite valuable."

Things were so bad she couldn’t stand to be in the same room with him. I knew her father fairly well and was somewhat astonished as she continued to demean him. But I let her get her anger out, and then asked her to tell me about herself. She told me how wonderful her parents had been until about six months before. Then, for some reason, things had changed. As she continued to talk, she confessed that her relationship with her boyfriend had gotten out of control, and both felt deeply guilty. Their guilt caused them to feel lonely when they were apart and they therefore began to see more and more of each other."

"text": "\"< Return to Religious Affiliation of U. S. Presidents< Return to Famous Congregationalists< Return to Famous Unitarians The Religious Affiliation of Second U. S. President John Adams John Adams is regarded as one of the most important Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Before becoming the second President of the United States, John Adams served as the Vice-President under President George Washington. Prior to that, John Adams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence as a delegate from Massachusetts. President John Adams was a devout Unitarian, which was a non-trinitarian Protestant Christian denomination during the Colonial era. He was identified as a Congregationalist by The Congregationalist Library. 1995 Information Please Almanac was cited as the source stating he was a later a Unitarian. ( Source: Ian Dorion, \"\"Table of the Religious Affiliations of American Founders\"\", 1997). From: Peter Roberts, \"\"John Adams\"\" page in \"\"God and Country\"\" section of \"\"Science Resources on the Net\"\" website (http://www.geocities.com/peterroberts.geo/Relig-Politics/John Adams.html; viewed 23 November 2005): Religious Affiliation: Unitarian Summary of Religious Views: Adams was raised a Congregationalist, but ultimately rejected many fundamental doctrines of conventional Christianity, such as the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, becoming a Unitarian. In his youth, Adams' father urged him to become a minister, but Adams refused, considering the practice of law to be a more noble calling. Although he once referred to himself as a \"\"church going animal,\"\" Adams' view of religion overall was rather ambivalent: He recognized the abuses, large and small, that religious belief lends itself to, but he also believed that religion could be a force for good in individual lives and in society at large."

Now, on a Saturday morning in October, his closest advisers had assembled in his Trump Tower apartment to discuss what to do. The group included a handful of seasoned politicians and Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew who ordinarily observes the Sabbath strictly. While the others — Gov. Chris Christie, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Reince Priebus — emphasized the gravity of the situation, urging Mr. Trump to express contrition, Mr. Kushner reminded him of what he had built. Amid the discussions, the Republican candidate briefly went down to greet 100 or so supporters gathered in front of the building. “There’s 2,500 people down there,” Mr. Trump told his advisers when he returned. “Those are the people who are going to elect you president,” Mr. Kushner replied, opting not to correct the candidate’s crowd estimate. “"

Photo: Matthew B. Brady, Library of Congress President Barack Obama pardoned his fourth turkey today, in what many believe is a Thanksgiving tradition dating back to 1947, when President Harry Truman, standing outside the White House, was presented with a holiday bird by the National Turkey Federation. But there’s no evidence that Truman did anything different from his successor, President Dwight Eisenhower, who, with his family, consumed all eight birds the NTF presented them. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy became the first president to see the word “pardon” used with reference to a Thanksgiving turkey, but he did not officially spare a bird in a pre-Thanksgiving ceremony in the Rose Garden. Kennedy simply announced that he would not eat the bird, and newspapers reported that the president had “pardoned” the gobbler given to him by the California Turkey Advisory Board. Just days before that year’s Thanksgiving, he was assassinated in Dallas. Ronald Reagan was the first president to use the word “pardon” in connection with a Thanksgiving turkey, in 1987, in response to media queries about whether he might pardon Lt. Col. Oliver North or any of the other figures involved in the Iran-Contra scandal. Reagan joked that if that year’s turkey had not already been destined for a petting farm, “I would have pardoned him."

He is a Kenyan politician, currently serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. He is the Chairman of Kenya African National Union (KANU), the former ruling party, which is currently part of the Party of National Unity (PNU). Incidentally, his father Jomo was the President of the ruling party KANU from 1962 until his death in 1978. Nominated to Parliament in 2001, Uhuru became Minister for Local Government under President Daniel arap Moi and, despite his political inexperience, was nominated by President Moi as his successor. It is interesting to note that President Moi served as Uhuru’s father’s deputy for 12 years effectively becoming the old man’s heir apparent. Kenyatta ran as KANU's candidate in the December 2002 presidential election, but lost to opposition candidate Mwai Kibaki by a large margin. He subsequently became Leader of the Opposition in Parliament however, he changed cause midstream and backed Kibaki for re-election in the December 2007. For his efforts in the Kibaki reelection campaign Uhuru was named Minister of Local Government by Kibaki in January 2008 as the war raged over the disputed elections, before becoming Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade in April 2008 as part of a Coalition Government.

"text": "Billy Graham, right, talks with President Dwight Eisenhower during a visit at the White House May 10, 1957. ( Associated Press)For decades, Billy Graham was perhaps America’s most famous religious figure, someone who could draw hundreds of thousands to evangelistic “crusades,” someone picked by president after president to pray at inaugurations. If America had a pastor, Graham was it. Yet as he aged — he’s now 98 and ailing — members of this evangelical royal family began to form their own views. Now as Graham’s son, Franklin, prepares to participate in the inauguration of Donald Trump, the views among Billy Graham’s descendants reflect tensions that have flared anew with the election over the proper role of Christianity in public life. File photo: Franklin Graham at Ireland’s Celebration of Hope was held April 2-4, 2008, in Belfast. ( Photo courtesy of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)Franklin Graham, 64, never formally endorsed Trump but used his “Decision America Tours” to mobilize voters. Graham will read a Bible passage at Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, though he says he doesn’t know which one yet. Graham joined Trump in Alabama during the president-elect’s “Thank You” tour on Dec. 17. “ Having Franklin Graham, who was so instrumental, we won so big, with evangelical Christians,” Trump said."

The billionaire real estate mogul delivered an unforgettably explosive performance Thursday night. He repeatedly attacked his rivals on stage, jousted with the moderators, drew jeers and laughter from the audience with his typically colorful language and, true to form, refused to apologize for anything. The nine candidates flanking Trump at the prime-time debate appeared emboldened at times by Trump's bluster and, at other moments, amused by the conduct of the GOP's current frontrunner."

( Getty)Ronald Prescott Reagan (Ron Reagan Jr.), born in 1958, is Nancy and Ronald Reagan’s son. Ron was married and his wife passed away a few years ago, but they didn’t have any children. Ron caused a lot of controversy over the years by being a political advocate for many things that were the opposite of his father’s beliefs, including being a staunch liberal and an outspoken atheist. But he will be the first to say that his political beliefs didn’t affect his relationship with his dad. When his father got sick and passed away, Ron was right there by Nancy’s side, comforting her at the funeral and providing support. He provided an amazing eulogy for his dad and it’s obvious he inherited his father’s great talent for speaking. Here’s what you need to know.1.

The stem snapped in half years ago, and its case is worn, but it still exudes a kind of fusty dignity. “That was my dad’s,” Ron Reagan says. He turns it in his hand, lost in thought for a moment.

Rather, it is that this subject is never mentioned. William Jefferson Blythe in 1944, said to be the real father of Bill Clinton, but he doesn't seem to look much like Bill. Clinton was born in Chicago and raised as a Methodist. There has always been talk about Clinton's \"\"abusive step father\"\". However, there has never been mention of his real biological father. In celebration of Mother's Day, CNN News put out the following about Clinton's father:\"\"President Clinton's Father was killed in a car accident before he was born, leaving his mother, Virginia, to raise him alone until she remarried four years after his birth. \"\" Source: \"\"1998 NYT Almanac\"\"This cryptic statement does not provide us with any real information.

Synopsis Born in Massachusetts on July 11, 1767, John Quincy Adams was the eldest son of President John Adams and the sixth president of the United States. In his pre-presidential years, Adams was one of America's greatest diplomats (formulating, among other things, what became the Monroe Doctrine); in his post-presidential years, he conducted a consistent and often dramatic fight against the expansion of slavery. Though full of promise, his presidential years were difficult. He died in 1848 in Washington, D. C. Younger Years Though he was one of few Americans to be so prepared to serve as president of the United States, John Quincy Adams's best years of service came before and after his time in the White House. Born on July 11, 1767, in Braintree, Massachusetts, John Quincy was the son of John Adams, a prodigy of the American Revolution who would become the second U. S. president just before his John Quincy's 30th birthday, and his wife, future first lady Abigail Adams. As a child, John Quincy Adams witnessed firsthand the birth of the nation."

He was rambunctious child who was a favorite of his father, particularly after the death of his bosom brother, Willie. According to Mary Todd Lincoln’s cousin, Elizabeth Todd Grimsley, he was “a gay, gladsome, merry, spontaneous fellow, bubbling over with innocent fun, whose laugh rang through the house, when not moved to tears. Quick in mind, and impulse, like his mother, with her naturally sunny temperament, he was the life, as also the worry of the household.” 1 Julia Taft described Tad as quick-tempered; he was “very affectionate when he chose, but implacable in his dislikes.” 2 White House aide William O. Stoddard described a typical scene involving the two brothers: What a yell! But it comes from the forces belonging to quite another seat of war. Tad has been trying to make another seat of war. Tad has been trying to make a war-map of Willie, and there are rapid movements in consequence on both sides.

He was commenting on the coat of arms marked \"\"Tremaine\"\" that another cousin, Ralph Truman, had brought to the President. The President said that he believed the \"\"Tremaine thing is a lot of bunk.\"\" But, he conceded, \"\"Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway as I've told you so long as we don't find Captain Kidd, Morgan the Pirate or J. P. [Morgan] either, for that matter, in 'the line' I'm satisfied. \"\" President Truman occasionally received inquiries from people interested in his family genealogy, and he usually referred them to Miss Mary Ethel Noland - known to family and friends as Ethel - who served as the family historian. Truman found humor in his cousin's fascination with the subject. For example, in 1946 when a friend raised a question about the President's kinship to another family of Trumans, the President replied that he did not pay too much attention to these things, but that his cousin Ethel Noland was a \"\"nut on the subject. \"\" He continued, \"\"I think [she] has all the facts, although she spent most of her time trying to prove that the family were Virginians and came over with the followers of Charles I and I always tell her the first Truman to come to this country was the son of the old man who established Truman's Brewery in England in 1666."

Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: rgbspace Viewpoint: Yes, early scientists believed that what appeared to be movement around Earth by the Sun and other entities was, in fact, just that. Viewpoint: No, later scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo correctly realized that Earth moves around the Sun, not vice versa, and thus cannot be the center of the universe. It is easy in our human nature to believe that we are the center of the universe. A newborn infant must learn through experimentation and sensation that he is a part of the world, not the entirety. Any parent can attest that as children mature, they must be helped to understand that the universe does not revolve around them and their needs and desires. Even as adults, we often struggle to see the world from a perspective other than our own. Likewise, it was natural for ancient peoples to assume that the universe they observed was centered upon Earth. After all, they saw the Sun rise in the east every morning, and set in the west at night. They saw the stars and planets appearing to move across the sky."

Two centuries later, Aristarchus of Samos extended this idea by proposing that the Earth and other planets moved around a definite central object, which he believed to be the Sun. The heliocentric, or Sun-centred, model of the solar system never gained wide support because its proponents could not explain why the relative positions of the stars seemed to remain the same despite the Earth’s changing viewpoints as it moved around the Sun. In the 2nd century ad, Claudius Ptolemy of Alexandria suggested that this discrepancy could be resolved if it were assumed that the Earth was fixed in position, with the Sun and other bodies revolving around it. As a result, Ptolemy’s geocentric (Earth-centred) system dominated scientific thought for some 1,400 years. In 1444 Nicholas of Cusa again argued for the rotation of the Earth and of other heavenly bodies, but it was not until the publication of Nicolaus Copernicus’s De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri VI (“Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs”) in 1543 that the heliocentric system began to be reestablished. Galileo Galilei’s support of this model resulted in his famous trial before the Inquisition in 1633. See also geocentric system; Ptolemaic system; Tychonic system.

Article written: 11 Jan , 2016 Updated: 4 Feb , 2016 by Matt Williams During the many thousand years that human beings have been looking up at the stars, our concept of what the Universe looks like has changed dramatically. At one time, the magi and sages of the world believed that the Universe consisted of a flat Earth (or a square one, a zigarrut, etc.) surrounded by the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. Over time, ancient astronomers became aware that some stars did not move like the rest, and began to understand that these too were planets. In time, we also began to understand that the Earth was indeed round, and came up with rationalized explanations for the behavior of other celestial bodies. And by classical antiquity, scientists had formulated ideas on how the motion of the planets occurred, and how all the heavenly orbs fit together. This gave rise to the Geocentric model of the universe, a now-defunct model that explained how the Sun, Moon, and firmament circled around our planet. The notion that the Earth was the center of the Universe is certainly an understandable one. To ancient people, looking up at the skies, it seemed evident that the Sun, the Moon and the stars rotated around the Earth once a day."

A: Quick Answer Heliocentric theory is a model of the solar system that posits a central place for the Sun, with the planets orbiting it. It is most closely associated with the 16th-century work of Copernicus and the 17th-century work of Galileo, and the theory was widely adopted after Copernicus' death.

Heliocentric theory was proposed to explain certain anomalies that emerged from a systematic observation of the sky. One problem that geocentric models had difficulty explaining was the apparent retrograde motion of some planets."

The center of the Universe is a concept that lacks a coherent definition in modern astronomy; according to standard cosmological theories on the shape of the universe, it has no center. Historically, the center of the Universe had been believed to be a number of locations. Many mythological cosmologies included an axis mundi, the central axis of a flat Earth that connects the Earth, heavens, and other realms together. In the 4th century BCE Greece, the geocentric model was developed based on astronomical observation, proposing that the center of the Universe lies at the center of a spherical, stationary Earth, around which the sun, moon, planets, and stars rotate. With the development of the heliocentric model by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, the sun was believed to be the center of the Universe, with the planets (including Earth) and stars orbiting it. In the early 20th century, the discovery of other galaxies and the development of the Big Bang theory led to the development of cosmological models of a homogeneous, isotropic Universe (which lacks a central point) that is expanding at all points.

"text": "\"Andreas Cellarius's illustration of the Copernican system, from the Harmonia Macrocosmica (1708). Credit: Public Domain The Scientific Revolution, which took in the 16th and 17th centuries, was a time of unprecedented learning and discovery. During this period, the foundations of modern science were laid, thanks to breakthroughs in the fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. And when it comes to astronomy, the most influential scholar was definitely Nicolaus Copernicus, the man credited with the creation of the Heliocentric model of the universe. Based on ongoing observations of the motions of the planets, as well as previous theories from classical antiquity and the Islamic World, Copernicus' proposed a model of the universe where the Earth, the planets and the stars all revolved around the sun. In so doing, he resolved the mathematical problems and inconsistencies arising out of the classic geocentric model and laid the foundations for modern astronomy. While Copernicus was not the first to propose a model of the solar system in which the Earth and planets revolved around the sun, his model of a heliocentric universe was both novel and timely. For one, it came at a time when European astronomers were struggling to resolve the mathematical and observational problems that arose out of the then-accepted Ptolemaic model of the universe, a geocentric model proposed in the 2nd century CE. In addition, Ptolemy's model was the first astronomical system that offered a complete and detailed account of how the universe worked. Not only did his model resolves issues arising out of the Ptolemaic system, it offered a simplified view of the universe that did away with complicated mathematical devices that were needed for the geocentric model to work."

The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos, [2] but at least in the medieval world, Aristarchus's Heliocentrism attracted little attention—possibly because of the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic Era. [ 3]It was not until the 16th century that a geometric mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus, leading to the Copernican Revolution. In the following century, Johannes Kepler elaborated upon and expanded this model to include elliptical orbits, and Galileo Galilei presented supporting observations made using a telescope. With the observations of William Herschel, Friedrich Bessel, and other astronomers, it was realized that the sun, while near the Barycenter of the solar system, was not at any center of the universe."

He observed the Great Comet of 1577 when he was six and the 1580 Lunar Eclipse, events that no doubt fueled his curiosity and enthusiasm for science. Although he originally wanted to be a minister and studied theology at the University of Tübingen, Kepler accepted a position in 1594 as a mathematics and astronomy teacher at a Protestant school in Graz, Austria. He later became an assistant to Tycho Brahe, the court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II. Upon Tycho's death, Kepler inherited his position, as well as his extensive archive of planetary observations. Kepler is best known for discovering the three mathematical laws of planetary motion (\"\"Kepler's Laws\"\") that established the discipline of celestial mechanics. He also discovered the elliptical patterns in which the planets travel around the sun. At a time when the sun and other celestial bodies were still widely believed to circle the earth (geocentrism), Kepler defended Nicolaus Copernicus' theory that planets orbit the sun (heliocentrism) and sought to reconcile it with Scripture. 1 He revolutionized scientific thought by applying physics (then considered a branch of natural philosophy) to astronomy (seen as a branch of mathematics). An \"\"unorthodox\"\" Lutheran, Kepler had a deep love for Christ and the inspiration and authority of Scripture."

The stars we see in the sky come in a range of brightnesses, partly because stars come in different intrinsic brightnesses, and partly because some are closer than others. When we look at an astronomical object ``by eye'', we can't tell just by looking how far away it is (because not all objects have the same intrinsic brightness). All we can see is what direction it is in. As a result, when looking ``by eye'', the positions of stars on the sky are described by their direction only; you can imagine that the sky is a big sphere with astronomical objects located at different positions on it. This is called the celestial sphere The positions of the stars can be described with a sort of astronomical longitude and latitude, called right ascension and declination . Constellations are patterns of stars seen in the sky. However, although the stars in any constellation are all in the same general direction in the sky, the different stars in a constellation may be at very different distances from Earth, hence constellations may not be real associations of stars in space, just stars in the same general direction as seen from Earth."

The model of the universe of the ancient astronomer, Ptolemy (c. 87-150 AD) had long been accepted. Ptolemy's universe showed the Earth at the center, with the moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, in succeeding celestial spheres. Ptolemy (like Aristotle) believed that the heavenly bodies moved in perfect circles; unlike earthly bodies which were flawed and moved in straight lines. To account for discrepancies in the perceived motion of the plants, Ptolemy postulated epicycles - a smaller circle around the point moving steadily around the celestial sphere. Copernicus' heliocentric system placed the Sun immobile at the center of the other planets - in the [correct] order Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Copernicus argued not only that the Earth moved, but also that it moved in two different ways - diurnal motion on its axis, and annual motion around the Sun. Like Ptolemy, Copernicus thought that the planets moved in circles, and he too postulated epicycles. This meant that his predictions of planetary motion were actually less accurate than Ptolemy's. In addition, Copernicus' system flew in the face of Scripture which stated unequivocally that \"\"the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved” (Psalms 93:1). \"\""

One oft repeated question though is how tall the beloved lady liberty is. Height In response to the inquiry as to her height, people usually come up with different answers. Well, the reason for the difference simply depends on how one measures her height. Some people tend to measure the entire height of the statue while others, being more discreet, only measure the humungous statue itself excluding the base. Of course, it all boils down to personal choice. If you measure only the statue itself from the foot or base to the torch you'll come up to a total height of 151 feet. However if you include the height of the pedestal along with the foundation on which the statue stands it will then stand as high as 305 feet. However, you choose to measure the height will all be up to you."

They mixed the colors themselves. I also took pictures of them, brought them into the computer and made them black and white so they would have an easier time seeing the values. When the painting was finished we talked about their personal values and what was important to them. They then created a list to use for the painting. We cut the paintings out and mounted them on black paper. They then painted their \"\"values\"\" around the portrait. From Judy: This lesson is good for elementary through middle school (and up)."

"text": "\"Vulcan, named after the Roman god of fire, is a 111-year-old statue that towers above Birmingham, Ala., as a homage to its natural resources and work ethic. ( Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times)The statue goes by just one name: Vulcan. Around this polite Southern metropolis, he's famous for his oversized head, manly beard, blacksmith's apron and fearsome spear he raises toward the sky. There's also a risque little feature that likens him more to a Chippendales dancer than iron effigy named for the Roman god of fire and forge: those greenish buns of steel, bared for all to see. Still, Vulcan is a beloved figure here, even if his semiclothed physique seems more appropriate for Renaissance Italy — or contemporary San Francisco — than genteel Birmingham. Now 111 years old, the ungainly statue towers five stories over the southern edge of town from atop Red Mountain. He's the world's largest iron-ore statue, and among the nation's tallest, behind the Statue of Liberty. In central Alabama, Vulcan is more than an icon; he's a member of the family, complete with his own foibles. Residents know that Vulcan stands for the region's work ethic and natural resources; a figure who hammers steel from the earth's raw materials. Birmingham's Iron Man."

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the Queen had written privately to Mrs Cox's husband, Brendon.

With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries...' This title was written on her forehead:mystery Babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth After this passage in the book of Revelation, John records the many disasters that Mystery Babylon must suffer. She will be punished by God and attacked by the Antichrist. Some of her plagues seem to come from nature but others are undoubtedly super-natural. With the wickedness of Mystery Babylon and the wrathful judgement that she receives in mind, and with all of God's end-times prophecies coming into clearer focus, it is important that this major subject of the book of Revelation is not ignored or misunderstood. According to my research the identity of Mystery Babylon, the world power which precedes the kingdom of the Antichrist, is painfully obvious. With a simple presentation using scripture and logic, I hope that this article will make the case as clear as it can be made. Which scriptures? The scriptures that mention Mystery Babylon by name are Revelation 17 and 18. However, many do not realize that there is much more prophetic material written about the fall of Babylon in the Old Testament."

Open Document The Statue of a kouros and the Portrait statue of a boy both depict similar subjects, however are greatly different in how they accomplish this task. Through detail, or lack there of, the Greeks and Romans are able to display a certain value they have in its members. These two statues were made about 500 years apart and approach the sculpting process quit differently. The Greek statue seems to use geometric exaggerated lines to form the body while the Romans use a more realistic approach and sculpt the body with a more rounded finish. Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B. C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike. The Statue of a kouros represents a Greek male. With one foot forward, the statue at the same time, represents movement and is able to stand on it own. This also gives the over life size figure, visible weight. In this early figure, geometric forms seem to predominate, and anatomical details, such as the chest muscles and pelvic arch, are presented with somewhat of exaggerated lines. Although the exaggerated lines show where these muscles belong, the detail is still missing."

"text": "\"Preview: The Statue of Liberty Over the years, I've been to or have hosted a few dinner parties, and so know that the key to making them work isn't really the decent food, or even the company, it's just tons and tons of booze. Invariably, the best dinner parties descend into a raucous drunkenness so that the best of the night becomes a haze and for which the next morning causes a lot of piecing together of what happened. Actual conversational details are long lost. Which is probably why at my dinner parties, things like this are never conceived: The Statue of Liberty's origins can be traced back to a dinner party. It was held in 1865 by a French professor and anti-slavery activist called Edouard de Laboulaye. During proceedings, which I guess hadn't yet reached the nude wrestling stage of all the best dinners, the professor, a strong supporter of the Union during the American Civil War, happened to bring up an idea of his about building a monument to commemorate the United States' independence from the British Empire. He said, perhaps while chucking his sixteenth cognac of the evening down his throat, that this would be a gift from France, but also a joint venture between the two countries. Then he started hugging everyone, telling them they were his only friends. It had just been a throwaway comment, but in attendance had been a young sculptor called Frederic Bartholdi. And he'd been inspired."

"text": "“Yesterday I spent the whole day in the studio of a strange painter called Degas,” Parisian man of letters Edmond de Goncourt wrote in his diary in 1874. “ Out of all the subjects in modern life he has chosen washerwomen and ballet dancers . . . it is a world of pink and white . . . the most delightful of pretexts for using pale, soft tints.” Edgar Degas, 39 years old at the time, would paint ballerinas for the rest of his career, and de Goncourt was right about the pretext. “ People call me the painter of dancing girls,” Degas later told Paris art dealer Ambroise Vollard. “ It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes. ”Degas loved to deflate the image people had of him, but his words ring true, expressing his love for the grace of drawing and the charm of color. As a student Degas dreamed of drawing like Raphael and Michelangelo, and he later revived the French tradition of pastels that had flourished with the 18th-century master Chardin. But like his contemporaries, Manet, Cézanne and the Impressionists, he lived in an age of photography and electricity, and he turned to aspects of modern life—to slums, brothels and horse races—to apply his draftsmanship."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Area code map of NJ. 609 is in green. Area code 609 serves telephones in central New Jersey, including the cities of Trenton, Princeton, Hamilton, and southeastern parts of the state and the Jersey Shore, including Atlantic City and Long Beach Island. In terms of geographic coverage, it is the largest in the state of New Jersey. In the original North American Numbering Plan (NANP), all of New Jersey was served by area code 201, until it was split in 1958 to create area 609. This division generally followed the dividing line between North Jersey, proximate to New York City, and South Jersey, proximate to Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore. [ 1]In 1999, the southwestern part of area 609, the area adjacent to Philadelphia, was split off as area code 856. Since that time, the 609 territory covers parts of Central Jersey, South Jersey and the Jersey Shore, and many parts of Burlington County. It also includes portions of southern Middlesex County in Plainsboro, Cranbury, parts of South Brunswick (particularly Kingston) and the extreme southern part of Monroe. The boundary was drawn in such a way so that several towns were split between area codes."

"text": "State Rainwater Harvesting Laws and Legislation2/2/2018Table of Contents Colorado Rainwater Harvesting State Rainwater Harvesting Laws and Programs Resources NCSL Energy and Environment Legislation Tracking Database NCSL Staff Contact Mindy Bridges Droughts, water supply worries and population changes serve as catalysts for states to consider legislation related to water conservation and alternative sources of water including rainwater harvesting. State legislatures have considered bills to allow, define and clarify when, where and how rainwater harvesting may occur. Rainwater harvesting is commonly defined as the act of utilizing a system to collect and use rainwater for outdoor uses, plumbing, and, in some cases, consumption. Rainwater collection or rainwater catchment are other terms used to refer to this practice. State legislatures consider factors, such as water rights, quality standards and public health, that rainwater harvesting may impact. In some states, especially in the West, water laws stated that all precipitation belonged to existing water-rights owners, and that rain needs to flow to join its rightful water drainage. Legislators also must ensure water quality standards and public health concerns are met when considering rainwater harvesting legislation. For example, collected rainwater may be used for non-potable purposes (e.g., watering indoor or outdoor plants) but may be restricted for potable purposes (e.g., drinking water). Texas and Ohio have devoted considerable attention to this issue and have enacted several laws regulating rainwater harvesting. ( See list below for some examples.)"

"text": "Do Pizza Ovens Require Suppressionby Michael O'Brian on April 28, 2009Is a pizza oven required to be protected by a fire suppression system? A special post by Art Shaw This is a reoccurring question!The following comments are based upon your typical pizza oven (chain type found at pizza hut, dominoes, or other major pizza chains) not the solid fuel ovens in use. If you watch any of the cooking channels you will have seen pizza ovens in New York that are heated by coal and ovens that are domed shape and fire brick lined where a few stick of wood are placed in the cooking area to warm the fire brick to cook a pizza. Using the I-codes section 904.2.1 of the International Building Code states “Each required commercial kitchen exhaust hood and duct system required by Section 609 of the International Fire Code (IFC) or Chapter 5 of the International Mechanical Code to have a Type 1 hood shall be protected with an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system installed in accordance with this code”. The code commentary for this section and the corresponding section in the International Fire Code note the need for an approved automatic fire –extinguishing system because a Type 1 hood and duct system is used for handling grease-laden vapors or smoke. A lesson learned a long time ago is to look at the definitions of words or phrases as they are used in the codes. In this case it is important to look up the definition for “Commercial Cooking Appliances”. In this case the definition is found in Section 602 of the IFC and the IMC. There you find a list of cooking appliances that require exhaust hoods and duct work. Another definition worthy of looking up is “Hood”."

Turquoise was sacred to Native Americans even before the arrival of Columbus. Most of the mines in these states have run dry and few are operating commercially these days. Even more difficult to find is gem-quality turquoise. Most turquoise today probably comes from Arizona, and is recovered as a byproduct from copper mining operations. That is to say, turquoise is not mined for its own sake, but rather found in the \"\"stone trash\"\" left behind from the mining of copper. ( Recall that the presence of copper is what makes turquoise blue. ) Arizona Most of the mines in Arizona are deleted of their turquoise and are not being commercially mined. Here are a few mines that are significant, either for historical reasons or because turquoise is still being produced. Most of the Arizona mines are open pit copper mines, with turquoise being retrieved by others under contract."

Their tears of joy mixed with the rain and seeped into Mother Earth to become Sky Stone Turquoise. Turquoise, the \"\"fallen sky stone\"\" hidden in Mother Earth, has been valued by cultures for its beauty and reputed spiritual and life-giving qualities for over 7000 years. It is a true gem of the centuries. A long time ago someone noticed a clear blue line running through gray rock, and saw the imagery of sky and water in stone, and from that time on, turquoise has been cherished above all else in creation - turquoise, stone of sky, stone of water, stone of blessings, good fortune, protection, good health and long life.

"text": "\"SP-14-95Turquoise Figure 12. -- Carved turquoise from Arizona (Photo is courtesy of the author.) Turquoise, the robin's egg blue gemstone worn by Pharaohs and Aztec Kings, is probably one of the oldest gemstones known. Yet, only its prized blue color, a color so distinctive that its name is used to describe any color that resembles it, results in its being used as a gemstone. Turquoise has been, since about 200 B. C., extensively used by both southwestern U. S. Native Americans and by many of the Indian tribes in Mexico. The Native American Jewelry or \"\"Indian style\"\" jewelry with turquoise mounted in or with silver is relatively new. Some believe this style of Jewelry was unknown prior to about 1880, when a white trader persuaded a Navajo craftsman to make turquoise and silver jewelry using coin silver. Prior to this time, the Native Americans had made solid turquoise beads, carvings, and inlaid mosaics. Recently, turquoise has found wide acceptance among people of all walks of life and from many different ethnic groups. The name turquoise may have come from the word Turquie, French for Turkey, because of the early belief that the mineral came from that country (the turquoise most likely came from Alimersai Mountain in Persia (now Iran) or the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, two of the world's oldest known turquoise mining areas.)"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Wanesia Spry Misquadace ( Fond du Lac Ojibwe ), jeweler and birch bark biter, 2011 [1]Native American jewelry refers to items of personal adornment, whether for personal use, sale or as art; examples of which include necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and pins, as well as ketohs, wampum, and labrets, made by one of the Indigenous peoples of the United States. Native American jewelry normally reflects the cultural diversity and history of its makers, but tribal groups have often borrowed and copied designs and methods from other, neighboring tribes or nations with which they had trade, and this practice continues today. Native American tribes continue to develop distinct aesthetics rooted in their personal artistic visions and cultural traditions. Artists may create jewelry for adornment, ceremonies, and display, or for sale or trade. Lois Sherr Dubin writes, \"\" [i]n the absence of written languages, adornment became an important element of Indian communication, conveying many levels of information.\"\" Later, jewelry and personal adornment \"\"...signaled resistance to assimilation. It remains a major statement of tribal and individual identity.\"\" [ 2]Native American jewelry can be made from naturally occurring materials such as various metals, hardwoods, vegetal fibers, or precious and semi-precious gemstones; animal materials such as teeth, bones and hide; or man-made materials like beadwork and quillwork. Metalsmiths, beaders, carvers, and lapidaries combine these materials to create jewelry. Contemporary Native American jewelry ranges from hand-quarried and processed stones and shells to computer-fabricated steel and titanium jewelry."

"text": "\"Turquoise is a blue-green mineral, a copper aluminum phosphate, valued for its rarity and unique hue, and widely used as an ornamental stone. Popular in the 16th century to adorn places of worship in Turkey, it was eventually traded in Turkish bazaars and brought to Europe by merchants and travelers. This stone is fragile — just slightly stronger than window glass — so special care must be taken during extraction and transport. The bluer the stone is, the more expensive. Variations in color are due to the presence of metals, such as iron impurities in the case of green turquoise. Most original mines were depleted a long time ago, and the current supply comes mostly as a byproduct of copper mining. Iran is the world's largest producer of this mineral; it is also mined in the Southwest US, primarily in Arizona and Nevada. This has made the stone a popular choice to create Native American jewelry and religious tiling and decoration. In the past, the mineral was worn only by rulers, especially by Ancient Egyptian pharaohs, Aztecs kings, and Chinese emperors. Often set in gold and combined with other stones such as jade, quartz, and malachite, it was thought to be a magical stone that could protect the wearer from malignant forces."

What Are White Sugar Sands? When you visit Gulf Shores, you'll find yourself kicking through the sand as though it were powdered sugar. If you've been to other beaches in the U. S., particular on the Pacific or Atlantic coasts, you'll know that isn't all that common. Some beaches have little rocks or pebbles in with the sand, and others just have grains of a coarser texture. White sugar sands are made of ultrafine mineral sand with a significant percentage of organic granules. This forms fine silt that is often too light to support cars and trucks on the beach. The sand is made from pure white quartz crystal, which came from the Appalachian Mountains at the end of the last Ice Age and was deposited into the Gulf of Mexico."

Turquoise is a valuable mineral and is one of the most valuable non-transparent minerals used in the jewelry trade. It has been mined by early Egyptians since at least 6000 BC. Most specimens are cryptocrystalline, meaning that the crystals can only be seen by a microscope. The finest turquoise comes from Iran but is challenged by some southwestern United States specimens. Poorer quality turquoise is often dyed or color stabilized with coatings of various resins. The name comes from a French word which means stone of Turkey. A sacred stone for the North American Indians as well as the Tibetans, it is often used by shamans in rituals and ceremonies."

"text": "\"How To Tell If You Are Buying Dyed Turquoise If a stone is advertised as turquoise it could be referring to the color rather than the stone. If it is advertised \"\"turquoise like\"\" or if advertised with turquoise in front of the name of the actual stone, i.e., turquoise Howlite, then you know it isn't turquoise and the price should be lower than what you would expect to pay for actual turquoise. Everybody has their pet peeve. Mine is \"\"purposeful misinformation\"\" when it comes to selling gemstones. Not just turquoise, but any gemstone. You know, when you ask a seller or dealer a question about a stone they are selling, they should have an answer for you. At first, the number of people who told me they like knowing the mine their turquoise comes from when they buy from us surprised me. After doing some online research, however, I was even more surprised to see the number of sellers who never even mention what kind of turquoise they are selling. It was all labeled the same, just \"\"turquoise\"\", i.e., Turquoise Necklace or Turquoise Earrings, etc. After asking around I found that the sellers didn't know where their turquoise came from."

"text": "Howlite: Not Just a Gemstone Imitator Howlite is a fairly plain looking gemstone that is used extensively in beading. Though it can be seen in jewelry, its main claim to fame is as an imitation of other gemstones. Turquoise, lapis lazuli and coral for example. Natural howlite can look quite good, particularly when used in bead necklaces. When dyed this gemstone becomes even more remarkable, be careful however that you don’t overpay for it. What is Howlite Taking Care of Howlite Howlite Buying Guide Howlite Meaning What is Howlite? Howlite is a borate mineral that is also known under the names of white howlite, white turquoise and white buffalo stone. It is almost always white or grey with darker stripes lining the stone. Howlite can occur in crystal form though that is fairly rare and almost all of it is found in a massive form seen towards the right. It was only discovered in 1868 by Henry How (after whom it is named) when miners called him to a gypsum quarry in Nova Scotia, Canada where it was considered a nuisance."

"text": "\"Difference Between Veins and Arteries• Categorized under Health, Science | Difference Between Veins and Arteries Veins and arteries are both types of blood vessels but arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body while veins carry blood to the heart from the rest of the body. All arteries except the pulmonary and umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood while all veins carry deoxygenated blood. The arteries are basis of the circulatory system and their main function is to deliver oxygen and nutrients through blood to all the cells in the body. They also have to remove carbon dioxide and other waste material, maintain chemical balance, mobility of proteins, cells and other elements of the immune system. The main function of veins is to transport deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart. The two veins that are an exception are the pulmonary and umbilical veins. Also, arteries are always more muscular than veins. Veins are classified as superficial (those that are close to the surface of the skin and have no corresponding arteries), deep (have corresponding arteries and are deeper in the body), pulmonary (that deliver oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart) and systemic veins (that drain tissues of the body and take deoxygenated blood to the heart). Arteries, on the other hand, are classified as systemic (part of the cardiovascular system), pulmonary (carry blood to the lungs), aorta and arterioles. Arteries carry bright red blood as it is oxygenated while veins have the dark red blood."

"text": "The vertebrate circulatory system The basic vertebrate pattern The plan All vertebrates have circulatory systems based on a common plan, and so vertebrate systems show much less variety than do those of invertebrates. Although it is impossible to trace the evolution of the circulatory system by using fossils (because blood vessels do not fossilize as do bones and teeth), it is possible to theorize on its evolution by studying different groups of vertebrates and their developing embryos. Many of the variations from the common plan are related to the different requirements of living in water and on land. The heart The vertebrate heart lies below the alimentary canal in the front and centre of the chest, housed in its own section of the body cavity. During the development of an embryo, the heart first appears below the pharynx, and although it may also be in this position in adult animals, the heart often moves posteriorly as the animal grows and matures. The heart is basically a tube made of special muscle (cardiac muscle) that is not found anywhere else in the body. This cardiac muscle beats throughout life with its own automatic rhythm. Deoxygenated blood from the body is brought by veins into the most posterior part of the heart tube, the sinus venosus. From there it passes forward into the atrium, the ventricle, and the conus arteriosus (called the bulbus cordis in embryos), and eventually to the arterial system. The blood is pushed through the heart because the various parts of the tube contract in sequence."

"text": "Anatomy of the Heart The heart is an organ responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels using rhythmic contractions of cardiac muscle. Learning Objectives Describe the anatomy of the heart Key Takeaways Key Points The heart is a four-chambered muscular organ containing an involuntary conduction system that initiates rhythmic contractions to pump blood throughout the body. The heart has its own blood supply and is controlled by self-regulating nerve bundles called nodes. The SA and AV nodes send impulses through the Purkinje fibers that cause muscle contractions to the heart. The heart is composed of three layers: the epicardium (outer layer) which prevents excess expansion or movement of the heart, the myocardium (middle layer) which initiates contractions driving the cardiac cycle, and the endocardium (inner layer) that lines the cavities and valves. The heart contains two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. The left and right sides of the heart are separated by the septum. Valves prevent the backflow of blood and separate the atria from the ventricle and the ventricle from the pulmonary artery or aorta. Key Termsheart: A fist-sized muscular organ in the chest that pumps blood through the body using involuntary contractions of cardiac muscle.ventricle: One of two lower chambers of the heart that receives blood from the atria and pumps it out into pulmonary or systemic circulation, depending on side.myocardium: The middle of the three layers forming the wall of the heart, containing cardiac muscle tissue. Innervated by the Purkinje fibers."

Cells in mammals require a constant supply of nutrients and oxygen, and a way to remove waste products. Blood is great, as it does all that. Blood needs a way of getting to all cells of the body, a way to… circulate. Without that, blood would just get pulled by gravity towards the centre of the earth. Not a pretty sight I’m afraid. There are two circulations in the body:1. The pulmonary circulation takes blood from the heart, pumping it to the lungs in order to oxygenate it.2. The systemic circulation takes blood from the heart to everywhere else."

Arteries are usually thicker than companion veins. Arteries also have a predominant tunica externa. Finally, veins have one-way valves, whereas arteries do not. What changes are seen in the composition of the tunic wall of the arteries as they branch into smaller and smaller valves? As arteries branch on to progressively smaller vessels their luminal diameter decreases. the composition of the tunics also changes, with a decrease in the amount of elastic fibers, and an increase in the amount of smooth muscle present in the walls of the arteries.

Which chamber is the thickest? How does this relate to its function? The four chambers of the heart are the right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. The left ventricle is the thickest chamber because it must force oxygenated blood out of the heart with enough pressure and force that it will reach all body tissues. Identify the 4 valves of the heart and indicate where each is located. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The pulmonary semilunar valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery."

The Circulatory System is an organ system that transfers the body's essentials such as blood cells, nutrients, gases, and etc. to and from the cells in order to maintain homeostasis. Under the circulatory system, there are two systems: cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels, while the lymphatic system is composed of the lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels. Not all organisms require a circulatory system. Its primary purpose is to distribute nutrients and essential elements like oxygen throughout the cell. Smaller organisms, or those with a high surface area relative to their volume, do not need a circulatory system because transfer can take place directly across their cellular membranes. Flatworms are an example of this; due to their size and shape, cells can obtain nutrients and remove waste without the need for an extensive circulatory system because diffusion is sufficient. Human beings, however, require a circulatory system due to their size; for example, oxygen would not be able to effectively diffuse into organ cells without a circulatory system because oxygen would have to go through our skin and into organ cells for them to receive oxygen."

The heart is a pump that constantly supplies the body with oxygen and nutrients via the blood supply. There are four chambers of the heart: a right atrium, a right ventricle, a left atrium and a left ventricle. First, deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) is carried from the body through the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava. From these vessels, the blood is dumped into the Right Atrium of the heart. The atria serve as preliminary holding chambers; i.e. the main pumping chambers are the ventricles, and the atria hold the blood on standby before pumping it into the ventricles. Anyway, blood from the Right Atrium goes into the Right Ventricle from which the blood is pumped to the lungs via the Pulmonary Artery to get oxygenated (i.e. to get oxygen). Once oxygenated at the lungs, the blood returns to the heart via the Pulmonary Veins, and is dumped into the Left Atrium."

Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10 usually produce flowers throughout the summer, depending on soil conditions and light. Although impatiens grow in Mediterranean climates, they typically prefer shaded temperatures around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Impatiens may die if the thermometer dips below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Location Flowering impatiens plants need two to four hours of filtered sun per day. Morning sun and afternoon shade is sufficient, notes Iowa State University Extension. Completely shaded plants grow to their normal height but may produce fewer flowers. Too much direct sun in temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit will cause flower colors to fade, especially if stems and roots are dry."

This wide host range of ornamentals, vegetables, and field crops is unique among plant-infecting viruses. Another unique feature is that TSWV is the only virus transmitted in a persistent manner by certain thrips species At least six strains of TSWV have been reported; the symptoms produced and the range of plants infected vary among strains Although previously a threat only to crops produced in tropical and subtropical regions, today the disease occurs worldwide. Largely because of wider distribution of the western flower thrips and movement of virus-infected plant material. Early and accurate detection of infected plants and measures to reduce the vector population are discussed as critical steps for disease control. Causal Agent TSWV is the only member of an RNA-containing virus group that has membrane-bound spherical particles 70-9Omm in diameter. Tomato spotted wilt, first described in Australia in 1919, was later identified as a virus disease. It is now common in temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions around the world. Heavy crop losses in the field were reported in the 1980s in tomato in Louisiana and in tomato and lettuce in Hawaii. Other southern states reporting losses in tomato in recent years include Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee."

After reviewing this article, make an inventory of the practices you employ in your operation and note which make your crops vulnerable to a disease problem and which help avoid diseases. Infested Soil Many plant pathogens can be found in soil. Fungi such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Thielaviopsis, crown gall bacteria (Agrobacterium) and most nematodes reside in the soil. Pythium species are found in sand and peat as well. When greenhouse crops are potted in a mix containing these pathogens, the pathogens are stimulated into activity by nutrients that leak from the plants' roots and disease may begin. Therefore, the potting mix must be free of pathogens before planting. A potting mix that has been treated to kill plant pathogens or a soilless mix purchased with the assurance of being free of pathogens should be handled as if it were food and kept free of unwanted organisms."

The ideal time to start the seeds is eight to 10 weeks before the last frost in your area. Fill seed flats with a sterile seed-starting mix that you have moistened. It should be damp but not wet. Impatiens seeds are very tiny, so scatter them over the surface and press down lightly. If you’ve used flats from a seed-starting kit, just cover them with the plastic cover that came with this. If you’re planting in containers that you are reusing, be sure they are sterile (wash them in water with detergent and a little bleach), and cover them with plastic wrap after sowing, or put the entire flat into a clear plastic bag. Impatiens from seed – light and temperature Place your flats under grow lights or near a window where they get bright indirect light. The soil temperature should be about 70 to 75º F (21 to 24º C). Your impatiens seeds should sprout within seven days to two weeks, although it can sometime take a little longer if temperatures are cooler."

You do not need a greenhouse to grow healthy transplants and many varieties can be started indoors over the next month to transplant to the garden this spring. Want to grow something new or unusual, such as this kohlrabi? Chances are you will have to start it from seed. What You Can Grow Many summer vegetable and flower seed can be started indoors in March. Large seeded flowers and vegetables are the easiest to grow and include cucumbers, zucchini, squash, melons, cosmos, marigolds, nasturtium, zinnias, and sunflowers. To get a head start on the season, seeds of these varieties can be sown indoors in mid March to transplant outdoors after the threat of frost. Slower growing vegetable and flowers should be started indoors a little earlier, ideally from mid to late February to have transplants ready to set out in mid-April. These include tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, basil, impatiens, and begonias. Vegetables and herbs that like cool weather such as parsley, cilantro, broccoli, spinach and lettuce, can also be started indoors at this time and transplanted outside in mid to late March, where they will be able to tolerate light frost."

"text": "Impatiens, sometimes called bizzy lizzies, are a flowering plant from tropical southern Asia. Often used by gardeners in warm months to bring color to shady parts of the garden, impatiens thrive under trees or in the shadow of a building. Impatiens are tropical plants that can die quickly when hit by frost. Frost Tolerance The succulent stems and thin leaves of impatiens do not endure temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Even with temperatures below 36 degrees, low elevations may collect frost and cause partial defoliation of impatiens. Sometimes individual plants may endure a brief encounter with 30 degrees and emerge unscathed. Types The thicker, more leathery-textured leaves of the New Guinea hybrid impatiens may look better in the garden after nighttime lows in the 30s. They, too, are usually killed once tissues are frozen at 32 degrees. Prevention/Solution Don't plant impatiens outdoors until the last expected spring frost date passes. If you wish to protect impatiens from late springtime or early fall frosts, place stakes over the flowers that rise 6 inches above the tops of the plants."

Many mothers (and others) will decorate their porches, decks, and other outdoor areas with hanging baskets this gardening season. Whether your hanging basket has just one or many blooming plants, care is required for best blooms throughout the growing season. Below are some tips for growing and maintaining hanging baskets. Watering Hanging baskets often contain several closely spaced small plants and their roots grow quickly in the potting mix. Typical potting mixes are light and well-drained. With a well drained soil mix and an abundance of crowded and thirsty roots, frequent watering is necessary, especially during the summer. When the small plants have grown and established roots, check baskets daily for water needs On hot sunny days it may be necessary to water more than once a day. When watering hanging baskets, be sure to water them until water runs out the bottom of the container. This ensures that all the roots have access to plenty of moisture."

"text": "How to Protect Your Garden from Frost and Freeze By: Julie Day Crystals of hoarfrost sparkling on green foliage One of the biggest worries of gardeners is the threat of freezing weather and frosts that can harm or kill plants and damage crops. Here’s what you need to know to protect tender plants from freezing temperatures. What Is a Freeze? A freeze occurs when temperatures drop below the freezing point of water (32° F or 0° C). When the water inside a plant freezes, it can cause the plant cells to burst, resulting in irreparable damage. Plants react differently to freezing temperatures: Tropical and frost-tender plants: Cannot survive freezing temperatures so they only grow naturally in warmer climates. Annual plants: Can’t survive a freeze, but they disperse seeds to replenish their numbers once the weather warms. Root-hardy perennials: The foliage is killed back by a freeze, but the roots survive in a dormant state until spring. Fully hardy perennials, shrubs, and trees: Enter a dormant state, which decreases vulnerability to freezing temperatures by reducing sap content and conserving water. Spring blooms and early foliage may be damaged by late-spring freezes, but the plants themselves usually recover."

Between the shade varieties and the partial-sun varieties, impatiens have become so popular that they have replaced petunias as the most popular bedding plant!As their name would indicate, New Guinea impatiens are native to the island of New Guinea, located north of Australia. New Guinea impatiens form compact, succulent plants with fleshy stems, and can reach heights of 1 to 2 feet tall by summer's end. Leaves are long and narrow, with distinctive points and serrated edges. Leaves may be green, bronze, or purple. Some newer varieties have stunningly variegated foliage that rivals the blooms in color! Flowers, growing up to 2 inches in diameter, are available in a range of colors, including white, pink, lavender, purple, orange, and red. I recently saw a variety on a garden walk in Bloomington, Illinois, that knocked my socks off! The label read \"\"Painted Paradise Orange,\"\" and the foliage faded from dark green at the edges to creamy ivory in the center, with tinges of pink along the edges, and bright red veins. They are featured in the banner image at the top of this article."

Tips for Container Gardening When putting planting a container garden, real soil is a no-no. Instead, choose a soil-less mix – a lightweight combination of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite – sold as patio or container mix. The potting mix should be fluffy and just moist for planting. Place a piece of broken pottery or small stone over drainage hole to prevent mix from leaking out. Fill container three quarters with potting mix, keeping it fluffy (don’t press down too hard). Remove plants from pots, gently teasing roots apart if necessary, and place inside container. Container garden plants are asked to produce masses of flowers in a tight space, so be sure to fertilize. The easy way is to mix slow-release fertilizer pellets into the top couple of inches of potting soil. ( Follow package directions for amount.)"

Updated January 23, 2018Absolute zero is defined as the point where no more heat can be removed from a system, according to the absolute or thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to 0 K or -273.15°C. This is 0 on the Rankine scale and -459.67°F. In classical kinetic theory, there should be no movement of individual molecules at absolute zero, but experimental evidence shows this isn't the case. Rather, particles at absolute zero have minimal vibrational motion. In other words, while heat may not be removed from a system at absolute zero, it does not represent the lowest possible enthalpy state. In quantum mechanics, absolute zero refers to the lowest internal energy of solid matter in its ground state."

"text": "\"Science News from research organizations A temperature below absolute zero: Atoms at negative absolute temperature are the hottest systems in the world Date: January 4, 2013Source: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Summary: On the absolute temperature scale, which is used by physicists and is also called the Kelvin scale, it is not possible to go below zero – at least not in the sense of getting colder than zero kelvin. According to the physical meaning of temperature, the temperature of a gas is determined by the chaotic movement of its particles – the colder the gas, the slower the particles. At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. Physicists have now created an atomic gas in the laboratory that nonetheless has negative Kelvin values. These negative absolute temperatures have several apparently absurd consequences: although the atoms in the gas attract each other and give rise to a negative pressure, the gas does not collapse – a behavior that is also postulated for dark energy in cosmology. Share: FULL STORYTemperature as a game of marbles: The Boltzmann distribution states how many particles have which energy, and can be illustrated with the aid of spheres distributed in a hilly landscape. At positive temperatures (left image), most spheres lie in the valley at minimum potential energy and barely move; they therefore also possess minimum kinetic energy. States with low total energy are therefore more likely than those with high total energy – the usual Boltzmann distribution. At infinite temperature (centre image) the spheres are spread evenly over low and high energies in an identical landscape."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Laws of Thermodynamics Foundations of the Laws Share Flipboard Email Printby Andrew Zimmerman Jones Updated August 08, 2017The branch of science called thermodynamics deals with systems that are able to transfer thermal energy into at least one other form of energy (mechanical, electrical, etc.) or into work. The laws of thermodynamics were developed over the years as some of the most fundamental rules which are followed when a thermodynamic system goes through some sort of energy change. History of Thermodynamics The history of thermodynamics begins with Otto von Guericke who, in 1650, built the world's first vacuum pump and demonstrated a vacuum using his Magdeburg hemispheres. Guericke was driven to make a vacuum to disprove Aristotle's long-held supposition that 'nature abhors a vacuum'. Shortly after Guericke, the English physicist and chemist Robert Boyle had learned of Guericke's designs and, in 1656, in coordination with English scientist Robert Hooke, built an air pump. Using this pump, Boyle and Hooke noticed a correlation between pressure, temperature, and volume. In time, Boyle's Law was formulated, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Consequences of the Laws of Thermodynamics The laws of thermodynamics tend to be fairly easy to state and understand ... so much so that it's easy to underestimate the impact they have. Among other things, they put constraints on how energy can be used in the universe."

The Kelvin scale was proposed by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in 1848. He proposed developing an absolute, thermodynamic temperature scale, using its base point as absolute zero. Temperature calculation has become an important part of everyday lives. Before we leave our homes, we check the temperature on a weather channel in order to see if we need to carry a jacket. Kelvin and Celsius are two units of temperature measurement that are used in fields such as physics, thermodynamics, engineering and astronomy. Both are a part of the International System of Units. Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a commonly used unit system that is used to measure the temperature. The Celsius scale was developed by a Swedish astronomer named Anders Celsius at the University of Uppsala, Sweden in 1741. This scale was bit different from the scale we know now, though it consisted 0 to 100 degrees, Anders marked the boiling point of water as 0°C, while freezing point of water was 100°C."

Thermometer with Fahrenheit (marked on outer bezel) and Celsius (marked on inner dial) degree units. The Fahrenheit scale was the first standardized temperature scale to be widely used. The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by Dutch-German-Polish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). [ 1] It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit. Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist. The lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the temperature of a solution of brine made from equal parts of ice, water and salt (ammonium chloride). [ 2] Further limits were established as the melting point of ice (32 °F) and his best estimate of the average human body temperature (96 °F, about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale). [ 3] The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 °F, and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 °F, a 180 °F separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure. [ citation needed]By the end of the 20th century, Fahrenheit was used as the official temperature scale only in the United States (including its unincorporated territories ), its freely associated states in the Western Pacific ( Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands ), the Bahamas, Belize, and the Cayman Islands.

"text": "\"18.4 Entropy Changes and the Third Law of Thermodynamics Learning Objective To use thermodynamic cycles to calculate changes in entropy. The atoms, molecules, or ions that compose a chemical system can undergo several types of molecular motion, including translation, rotation, and vibration ( Figure 18.13 \"\"Molecular Motions\"\" ). The greater the molecular motion of a system, the greater the number of possible microstates and the higher the entropy. A perfectly ordered system with only a single microstate available to it would have an entropy of zero. The only system that meets this criterion is a perfect crystal at a temperature of absolute zero (0 K), in which each component atom, molecule, or ion is fixed in place within a crystal lattice and exhibits no motion. Such a state of perfect order (or, conversely, zero disorder) corresponds to zero entropy. In practice, absolute zero is an ideal temperature that is unobtainable, and a perfect single crystal is also an ideal that cannot be achieved. Nonetheless, the combination of these two ideals constitutes the basis for the third law of thermodynamics: the entropy of any perfectly ordered, crystalline substance at absolute zero is zero. Figure 18.13 Molecular Motions Vibrational, rotational, and translational motions of a carbon dioxide molecule are illustrated here. Only a perfectly ordered, crystalline substance at absolute zero would exhibit no molecular motion and have zero entropy."

Background Information Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy (or movement) of particles inside of an object. If particles have a lot of kinetic energy, the object will have a high temperature, and if particles have less kinetic energy, the object will have a low temperature. So, the lowest temperature an object can have happens when the particles in the object are not moving at all. We call this temperature absolute zero."

Answer Kelvin is the temperature scale devised and used to measure temperature from the melting point of ice (0 deg Celsius) down to absolute zero, the total absence of heat. Celsius and Fahrenheit are mainly used to measure temperatures from the melting point of ice and up. Zero Kelvin is equal to −273.15 deg Celsius and -459.67 deg Fahrenheit. When Fahrenheit invented his 212 degree temperature scale it was thought that the absolute zero temperature was just 32 degrees of the scale below the melting point of ice. It later transpired that the absolute zero point was much lower, 427.67 deg Fahrenheit lower. The Celsius scale equally divides the temperature range between the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water into 100 equal parts."

Thermodynamic temperature is defined by the third law of thermodynamics in which the theoretically lowest temperature is the null or zero point. At this point, absolute zero, the particle constituents of matter have minimal motion and can become no colder. [ 1] [2] In the quantum-mechanical description, matter at absolute zero is in its ground state, which is its state of lowest energy. Thermodynamic temperature is often also called absolute temperature, for two reasons: one, proposed by Kelvin, that it does not depend on the properties of a particular material; two that it refers to an absolute zero according to the properties of the ideal gas. The International System of Units specifies a particular scale for thermodynamic temperature. It uses the kelvin scale for measurement and selects the triple point of water at 273.16 K as the fundamental fixing point. Other scales have been in use historically. The Rankine scale, using the degree Fahrenheit as its unit interval, is still in use as part of the English Engineering Units in the United States in some engineering fields.

What this means it that when you are saying something is X degrees C/F/K, you're indicating that temperature of the object relative to a specific scale. The Celsius scale is relative to the temperatures that water changes state at, for example. The Kelvin differs from other temperature measurement scales in a very important way: its scale is not relative but rather an absolute temperature scale.

Kelvin can be converted to Celsius by subtracting 273. Example: 273 K = 0 o C; 25 o C = 298 K Fahrenheit can be calculated from Celsius by the following formula: F = C x 9/5 + 32 OR C = (F - 32) x 5/9 The degrees in Kelvin and Celsius are the same size but Fahrenheit is not directly proportional. The two basic units for measuring temperature are Fahrenheit (named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit) and Celsius (named for Anders Celsius). Celsius was originally called Centigrade because the temperature range between freezing boiling water was split into 100 points called degrees where the freezing point of water was 0 degrees and the boiling point of water was 100 degrees. With Fahrenheit the freezing point is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees. Working mathematically, a degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to 5/9 degrees Celsius."

But recent experiments using ultracold atoms have measured temperatures that are, in fact, negative in absolute temperature scale. The journey there, however, is quite the opposite to what you might expect. Simply removing heat from the equation to make things colder and colder is not the answer. Instead, you need to heat things hotter than infinitely hot!Understanding temperature The concept of temperature is intimately connected to the concept of disorder. Typically, a high degree of order corresponds to a low temperature. A perfect order is tantamount to absolute zero and a maximum possible disorder corresponds to an infinite temperature. Ice crystals are more ordered than boiling water and, as intuition tells us, ice is indeed colder than hot water. By adding more energy in the water molecules will cause their motion to become ever more chaotic and disordered, thus increasing their temperature."

Updated January 23, 2018Absolute zero is defined as the point where no more heat can be removed from a system, according to the absolute or thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to 0 K or -273.15°C. This is 0 on the Rankine scale and -459.67°F. In classical kinetic theory, there should be no movement of individual molecules at absolute zero, but experimental evidence shows this isn't the case. Rather, particles at absolute zero have minimal vibrational motion. In other words, while heat may not be removed from a system at absolute zero, it does not represent the lowest possible enthalpy state. In quantum mechanics, absolute zero refers to the lowest internal energy of solid matter in its ground state."

"text": "Home »Nature The Temperatures of Outer Space Around the Earth By Angela Libal; Updated March 13, 2018Temperature in outer space depends on many factors: distance from a star or other cosmic event, whether a point in space is in direct light or shade and if it is subject to a solar flare or solar wind. Variation in the temperature of space near the Earth is primarily based on location and time: Temperatures are drastically different on the light and shaded sides of the planet, which gradually change minute to minute based on the planet's rotation on its axis and its revolution around the sun. Absolute Zero The key defining characteristic of outer space is emptiness. Matter in space concentrates into astronomical bodies. The space between these bodies is truly empty -- a near-vacuum where individual atoms may be many miles apart. Heat is the transfer of energy from atom to atom. Under outer space conditions, almost no energy is transferred because of the vast distances involved. The average temperature of empty space between celestial bodies is calculated at 3 kelvins (minus 270.15 degrees Celsius or minus 457.87 degrees Fahrenheit). Absolute zero, the temperature at which absolutely all activity stops, is zero kelvins (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit). Radiation Radiation is energy transferred from an object or event out into space."

The kelvin (symbol: K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The kelvin is defined as the fraction 1⁄ 273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water (exactly 0.01 °C or 32.018 °F). [ 1] In other words, it is defined such that the triple point of water is exactly 273.16 K. The Kelvin scale is named after the Belfast-born, Glasgow University engineer and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), who wrote of the need for an \"\"absolute thermometric scale\"\". Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is not referred to or typeset as a degree. The kelvin is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude. The definition implies that absolute zero (0 K) is equivalent to −273.15 °C (−459.67 °F). For expressing temperature difference or interval, using kelvins instead of degrees Celsius helps to avoid situations, when people mistake such quantities for Celsius temperature. ["

I have used several repellents but they have not been effective. K. T. Belle Meade, NJ. A nswer: Sometimes rabbits seem to appear out of nowhere and quickly locate their favorite plants in your landscape for an all you can eat buffet. Rabbits will eat many vegetables, including broccoli, beans, beet tops, carrots, lettuce and peas. They will devour many spring flowers including tulip shoots in the spring. Rabbits can also cause a great deal of damage by chewing the bark, buds and stems of woody plants. Repellents After teaching the Master Gardener program for 17 years, I believe I’ve heard almost every home remedy for repelling rabbits. Home repellents include socks packed with human hair to soap on a rope. Others have sprayed vinegar around plants or scattered cotton balls around their garden."

Not long after rabbits were introduced to Australia they reproduced so quickly that almost all efforts to control their population failed. Eventually, a virus was developed that killed off many rabbits, but it was only a temporary solution. Most of the rabbits developed immunity to the virus. Unfortunately, there was no virus developed in the U. S. to help keep rabbit populations in check. Rabbits are found in woods, meadows, and grassy areas. They are more prevalent in the United States compared to other nations because our country has a temperate climate. These cute, furry animals can become nuisance pests when they tear up lawns or gardens. Female rabbits dig warrens in the ground, which are underground tunnel systems. Burrows are the rooms where young rabbits are raised."

Even befoe you see an animal in your garden, or find evidence of their presence, it's time to take action. Once they have found your pumpkin patch, they will return on a regular basis. The four basic ways of controlling garden pests are: hunting, trapping, repellent sprays, and fencing or netting to block them from reaching your crop. In urban and suburban areas, hunting and trapping is not be an option. Repellent sprays have a limited effectiveness, They need to be re-applied regularly, and after a rainfall."

I opened the other side of the hutch and she has made a nest with strw and her fur! She was running round the garden with her mouth full of straw the other day, and we laughed because it looked like she had a big mostach - it didn't occur to me that there was a reason for her doing it. I've taken the other (newly discovered male) rabbit out, and put him in the run. It's not ideal, but it has a shelter bit on one side, and i'm going to ask on freecycle for an extra hutch. I've also put extra hay and food in for the female. What do I do now? I know not to disturb her, or the nest, but how do i check if the litter has been born and if she and the babies are ok? Also how long should I not disturb them for, what do I do when the hutch needs cleaning out?"

Rabbits will eat the tender growth of newly emerging plants in the spring. During the summer, they will eat broad-leafed weeds, clover, grasses, leaves, shoots, roots, fruit, berries,vegetables. In winter, rabbits will eat bark of trees and shrubs, buds, twigs, blackberry and raspberry canes bushes. Although they can be quite a nuisance, you can get rid of rabbits from your garden. How to recognize the signs of rabbits in your area? Rabbits have a great number of natural predators and they may be difficult to actively observe. However, it's not uncommon to see rabbits in broad daylight when they're in an unthreatening environment and some gardens are simply overrun with rabbits. In addition to observing damage on plants you may see rabbit droppings. Rabbit pellets are about the same size and shape as a pea."

While some people may think rabbits look cute and fuzzy, any gardener who has dealt with a rabbit problem knows they are anything but. Keeping rabbits out of a garden is a challenge but it can be done. Tips to Keep Rabbits Out of Garden Here are some things you can try to keep rabbits out of the garden: Smells Rabbits Dislike One easy way to have rabbit control in gardens is to add things to your garden that the rabbits will not like the smell. Try sprinkling dried blood around the garden to keep rabbits out of the yard. Or pour some coyote, fox or wolf urine around the perimeter of your garden. Hair from these same animals also works well for rabbit control in gardens. The dried blood, animal hair and animal urine is available at your local garden center. You can even try training your dog to pee near (but not in) your vegetable and flower beds to help with keeping rabbits out of a garden. The smell of the blood or the urine will tell the rabbit that this is a dangerous place and to stay away."

Just imagine a beautiful lawn with lush green grass that appears to be so soothing and as soon as you start to explore it you find it dug at different places that ruin the whole effect of the beautiful grass or the plants and flowers are chewed. This is a great shock actually for the gardener because sometimes their garden is just ruined this way in one night by moles, rabbits and cats. The ground digging problem comes from both moles and cats. The cats’ somehow just love to dig the ground from every where around and spoil all your efforts made to give our garden the soothing look with the green tempting grass. There are different ways to stop animals like rabbits and moles to use fences and other things but it just fails in case of cats. No matter how high fence you’ve plotted the cats will eventually climb and jump over it. Scattering citrus peels is also hectic because for how many days you can scatter them every two or three days?

Here are some ways to keep rabbits out of your garden. Build a 2-foot (61-centimeter) high fence around your garden out of chicken wire. Extend it 3-feet (91-centimeters) high if there are jackrabbits in your area. Bury the bottom few inches (at least 5 centimeters) of fencing under the ground so rabbits can't burrow underneath. Make sure the mesh openings are no more than 1-inch (2.5-centimeters) wide so rabbits can't squeeze through [source: Olkowski ]. Install an electric fence. Protect individual trees and plants with a cylinder of mesh placed at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) away from the trees and plants. Tree guards, either commercial or homemade from jute bags or aluminum foil, can be used instead of mesh. ["

Scare prey animals -- such as deer -- away from your garden by spreading around predator animals' scents, in the form of urine granules. In reality, though, predator urine is only sometimes effective in keeping deer, rabbits and other pests out of the yard. If used properly, it may be an effective part of a garden pest control strategy, but it is not guaranteed to work. Shake-Away and other companies sell concentrated coyote and fox urine granules, and offer long lists of testimonials from customers whose flowers and vegetables were saved by the power of pee.

Herbivores, such as deer and rabbits, can do significant damage to garden plants, like young flowers, clovers, fruits and vegetables, if left unattended. If you suspect such pest are to blame for damaged foliage, inspect the leaves; unlike insects that leave jagged edges on half-eaten leaves, mammals, like rabbits, leave a clean cut or devour the foliage completely. To keep pesky mammals at bay, Irish Spring soap can be added to your garden as an inexpensive repellent, since animals find the stench unpleasant.1Slice the Irish Spring soap bar into 1/2-inch cubes with a knife. These do not have to be exact, but you'll want many small chunks to spread around your garden.2Drop two pieces of soap into each drawstring pouch, pull strings tightly to close, and tie the strings in a knot to secure the soap inside.3Staple one drawstring pouch to the end of each wooden stake with a staple gun. Drive the opposite end of each stake 6 inches into the ground in 5- to 10-foot increments around your garden. Concentrate stakes in areas with thick vegetation or in spots you've noticed often are damaged by pests. Alternatively, lay the drawstring pouches under and around the vegetation for a more discrete solution.4Monitor the garden over the course of the next week for signs of damaged or eaten plants. The amount of Irish Spring soap you need to ward off pests depends on the size of your garden, and the population of local deer, rabbits and other animals, so be ready to add more stakes to target heavily-trafficked zones.

Fortunately, there are many ways to keep your garden from becoming a bunny salad bar. Photo: U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service Add Comment Printby Helga Olkowski June 2000 from issue #27 When Beatrix Potter’s Mrs. Rabbit warned Peter not to go into Mr. Mc Gregor’s garden, the admonition went in one of Peter’s large ears and out the other. And so it goes today. Vegetable gardens, orchards, and ornamental plants are highly attractive to rabbits, especially during droughts and long winters or where urbanization has reduced their wildland habitat. A childhood perspective on rabbits as mischievous but benign cuddly animals usually fails to prepare adults for their first encounter with wild rabbits running amok among their prized cabbages. The distraught gardener is left furious about the damage but dreading the idea of harming those undeniably cute rabbits. Fortunately, there are practical ways to outwit the wild rabbits without doing them harm. Know your rabbit and its ways There are two groups of wild rabbits that can become problems in the garden: jackrabbits ( Lepus spp., a type of hare) and cottontails ( Sylvilagus spp.,"

( Photo by Jo-Ann Ordano)• Facts about Rabbits• Washington Species•Viewing Rabbits• Preventing Conflicts• Rabbit-resistant Plants•Public Health Concerns• Wildlife Rehabilitators and Wildlife Rehabilitation• Legal Status• Additional Information Two species of rabbits are native to Washington and two others have been introduced to the area (Table 1). Washington is also home to three species of hares: the snowshoe hare and two others, called “jackrabbits. ”Rabbits differ from hares in that female rabbits give birth to blind, hairless young that require considerable attention for their first two weeks of life. Hares are born fully furred with their eyes open, and can hop about within hours of their birth. This handout is primarily about rabbits; however, information on how to prevent problems with jackrabbits is provided under “ Preventing Conflicts .”Facts about Rabbits Food and Feeding Habits From spring to fall, rabbits and hares eat grass, clover, wild flowers, weeds, and farm and garden crops. In winter, their diet shifts to buds, twigs, bark, conifer needles, and practically any green plant. In dry interior areas, Nuttall's cottontails climb sloping tree trunks to access green, dew-laden vegetation. Rabbits and hares re-ingest their droppings to further digest the material, a process called coprophagy."

I did a little research, and it seems that many gardeners are sold on putting human hair in their gardens. Here’s what I came up with. Keep the snails away. Human hair also repels snails. Sprinkle unwashed hair around your garden. It supposedly keeps rodents away as well. Animals hate our hair. ("

"text": "\"Rabbit Controls Controlling bunnies with fences, repellents and other techniques By Kathy La Liberte R ABBITS in the garden can cause a lot of heartache. Though they rarely do as much damage as deer, woodchucks or raccoons, that's little comfort when they've munched your peas and eaten the buds off your lilies. If you suspect there's a rabbit causing problems in your garden, but you haven't actually seen one, the telltale signs of damage include: delicately nibbled leaves and stems, primarily on young or newly emerging plants; chewed tree bark near ground level, especially on saplings, shrubs and fruit trees; and small round rabbit droppings. For nature-friendly gardeners, the ideal solution to wildlife problems is peaceful coexistence. The challenge with rabbits is to simply keep them from eating the things you don't want them to eat. This requires more brains than brawn. So as with any counterintelligence effort, let's start by getting to know the other guy. Think Like a Rabbit One thing rabbits must spend a lot of time thinking about is making more bunnies. In a single breeding season, one rabbit couple can produce 18 baby bunnies! This is another good reason why when it comes to rabbit problems, a strategy of coexistence is a wise one."

"text": "\"For yachts cruising north from \"\"the South\"\", there is an entirely different world after Southport. For a start overnight passages are entirely optional, because there are many secure anchorages available right up the coast. The other thing is scale. Queensland is BIG, the distance from Southport to Thursday Island is similar to that from London to Moscow or Florida to Maine. Likewise many of the anchorages are huge. Finally, most of the cruise is swell free because you can use sheltered waterways in the south and from Gladstone north the reef cuts off the ocean swell. In fact in the whole east coast there is only about 160 miles open to ocean swell and in these areas the swell is usually much less than further south. Add a mild winter climate and it is clear why this is the most favoured winter cruising destination for our members and a favorite too, for bareboat chartering. Most cruising folk think of the coast as in four sections: Southport to Rosslyn Bay, Rosslyn Bay to Whitsundays, Whitsundays to Lizard Island and north of Lizard Island. Unless one is considering a circumnavigation of Australia, the Pacific or the world, Lizard is usually the furthest limit of a winter cruise."

I'm talking about the real, physical Pearl Harbor — the Hawaiian naval base that was the site of the Japanese air attack on December 7, 1941, that catapulted the United States into World War II. For many, a trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, is not complete without visiting Pearl Harbor. In fact, this site is easily Hawaii's top tourist destination, with millions of people visiting each and every year to soak in a bit of history and pay their respects at the USS Arizona Memorial. If you're thinking of adding Pearl Harbor to your Hawaii itinerary, here's an idea of what to expect, as well as a few travel tips that might make your visit run more smoothly.

Brisbane in September at a Glance Weather School & Public Holidays Events and What's On Tips for Visitors Things to do Common Questions There's a good reason September is the Brisbane Festival month and it usually has a lot to do with the weather. The festival kicks off early in the month and runs for 3 weeks. As the month goes on the weather definitely becomes warmer, the days longer and spring is in the air. The festival of Brisbane is based around the river, because it is so important to life in the city. It is a great time to get out and about on or beside the water. September has school holidays towards the end of the month. Getting out on the water is popular with cruises on Moreton Bay, trips up the river, day trips to the islands and whale watching cruises. The beaches are more enticing with the warmer weather, you could head to Redcliffe, Clontarf, North Stradbroke Island, Moreton Island (Tangalooma) or Bribie Island. Questions About Visiting Brisbane (or Australia) in September? Many common questions are answered on this page or in our reader submitted Q&A. If you have a car, you could also venture to Sunshine Coast beaches or Gold Coast beaches - lots of options."

Typically, we keep the capacities at 10 or below and reserve the biggest boats for large private groups, schools, scouts, churches or very busy times when conditions are very good. The group tours run about 3 hours from start to finish and the price includes everything you need from the tour except for towels and a change of clothes. Any tour that is described as ‘semi-private’ will be a smaller vessel and a smaller group. These boats take a maximum of 6 passengers at any time. Most semi-private tours run 4 hours from start to finish and include snacks and beverages. The exception to this rule is the manatee confidential which is our most affordable semi-private because it is only 3 hours, and DOES NOT include snacks or assorted beverages. What is the difference between the ‘Pontoon of Privilege’, the ‘Outstanding Odyssey’ and the ‘Manatee Confidential’? This is one of our most common questions, so we are glad you are reading! !"

"text": "\"Lymphatic vessels, or simply lymph vessels, are tubular structures responsible for carrying lymph throughout the human body, much as blood vessels convey blood. These vessels are a vital part of the lymphatic system, which supports the human immune and circulatory systems, filters toxins and waste products from somatic cells and tissues, and aids in the production of certain protein molecules. The lymphatic system has a one-way cycle that moves lymph upwards through the human body, and it includes two kinds of vessels: afferent and efferent. The afferent vessels are similar to veins in that they transport fluid into the lymph nodes, while the efferent vessels are similar to arteries, carrying filtered lymph away from the lymph nodes. The solution that runs through these vessels, called lymph, begins in the circulatory system as blood plasma and then is converted to a fluid known as an interstitial or intercellular fluid. This fluid is responsible for delivering hormones, oxygen, and various nutrients to cells throughout the body. As it leaves the cells, it bathes them, taking waste products away with it. About 90% of this fluid is then reintroduced to the circulatory system. What remains in the interstitial fluid is the lymph. The lymph is conveyed into the lymphatic system through vessels called lymph capillaries."

The key cells in bone marrow are the hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to the lymphoid stem cells and the myeloid stem cells. Lymphoid stem cells give rise to the lymphocytes, which specifically identify foreign molecules and cells. The myeloid stem cells give rise to all of the other blood cells, including red blood cells.

PIXOLOGICSTUDIO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated November 08, 2017The lymphatic system is a vascular network of tubules and ducts that collect, filter, and return lymph to blood circulation. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma, which exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymph contains water, proteins, salts, lipids , white blood cells, and other substances that must be returned to the blood. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood, to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood, and to filter fluid of pathogens, damaged cells, cellular debris, and cancerous cells. Lymphatic System Structures The major components of the lymphatic system include lymph, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic organs that contain lymphoid tissues. Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic vessels are structures that absorb fluid that diffuses from blood vessel capillaries into surrounding tissues. This fluid is directed toward lymph nodes to be filtered and ultimately re-enters blood circulation through veins located near the heart. The smallest lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries."

"text": "\"The Lymphatic System - Design: parts of the lymphatic system A network of vessels, tissues, organs, and cells constitute the lymphatic system. Included in this network are lymph vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, and lymphocytes. Running throughout this network is a watery fluid called lymph. Lymph Lymph comes from the Latin word lympha , meaning \"\"clear water.\"\" Slightly yellowish but clear, lymph is any tissue or interstitial fluid that enters the lymph vessels. It is similar to blood plasma, but contains more white blood cells. Lymph also carries other substances, depending on where it is in the body. In the limbs, lymph is rich in protein, especially albumin. In the bone marrow, spleen, and thymus, lymph contains higher concentrations of white blood cells. And in the intestine, lymph contains fats absorbed during digestion."

"text": "The Lymphatic System| January 17, 2014 | 3 Comments The lymphatic system returns fluids that have leaked from the blood (vascular system) back to the blood. Without it, our cardiovascular and immune systems would begin to shut down. The lymphatic system contains three parts, a network of lymphatic vessels, a fluid inside of the vessels called lymph, and l ymph nodes that cleanse the lymph while it passes through. Lymphatic System While blood circulates through the body, wastes, gases, and nutrients are exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluid. Different pressures (hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure) operating at capillary beds (at the very tip of where arteries and veins meet) cause most of the fluid to be reabsorbed at the vein end. The fluid that remains behind in the tissue spaces between the capillary beds (as much as 3 liters a day) becomes part of the interstitial fluid. This leaked fluid, along with plasma proteins that have escaped from the bloodstream, must be returned, to make sure the cardiovascular system continues to operate properly. The problem of circulatory dynamics is resolved by lymphatic vessels, also known as lymphatics. Lymphatic vessels are drainage vessels that collect the excess interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream. Once interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, it is called lymph."

When fluid pressure in interstitial space is greater than pressure in lymphatic capillary minivalve flaps open, fluid enters lymphatic capillary. When fluid pressure is greater in lymphatic capillary, minivalves close, preventing lymph from leaking back out as pressure moves it along the vessel. ("

The Lymphatic and Immune System138 21.1 Anatomy of the Lymphatic and Immune Systems Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the structure and function of the lymphatic tissue (lymph fluid, vessels, ducts, and organs)Describe the structure and function of the primary and secondary lymphatic organs Discuss the cells of the immune system, how they function, and their relationship with the lymphatic system The immune system is the complex collection of cells and organs that destroys or neutralizes pathogens that would otherwise cause disease or death. The lymphatic system, for most people, is associated with the immune system to such a degree that the two systems are virtually indistinguishable. The lymphatic system is the system of vessels, cells, and organs that carries excess fluids to the bloodstream and filters pathogens from the blood. The swelling of lymph nodes during an infection and the transport of lymphocytes via the lymphatic vessels are but two examples of the many connections between these critical organ systems. Functions of the Lymphatic System A major function of the lymphatic system is to drain body fluids and return them to the bloodstream. Blood pressure causes leakage of fluid from the capillaries, resulting in the accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space—that is, spaces between individual cells in the tissues. In humans, 20 liters of plasma is released into the interstitial space of the tissues each day due to capillary filtration. Once this filtrate is out of the bloodstream and in the tissue spaces, it is referred to as interstitial fluid. Of this, 17 liters is reabsorbed directly by the blood vessels."

This important system also absorbs digested fats from the small intestine. The components of the lymphatic system are divided into two groups the primary organs and the secondary organs. Primary Organs: The thymus gland and the bone marrow are primary organs. They regulate the production and differentiation of lymphocytes the cells that make up the immune system. Secondary Organs: The secondary organs include the lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, aggregated lymphoid tissue, and spleen.

"text": "Comprehending Lymph Nodes by Exploring its Structure and Functions Posted on April 5, 2013 by Lymph Node Lymph refers to a transparent white fluid traveling via the vessels, flowing within tissues, and functioning well to clean all body parts. After moving through the lymphatic system, the fluid drains into the nodes. The lymphatic system is an intricate network of thin vessels, organs, ducts, valves, and nodes. All of which defend and maintain the fluid milieu of the body by generating, filtering, and supplying lymph as well as by forming diverse blood cells. Introduction to Lymph Nodes Lymph nodes refer to small glands of the immune system, which are spread across the body along lymphatic system and appear as small bulbs. Recognized as the battalion of B, T, and similar immune cells. Lymph nodes work like filters along the system to trap the foreign particles, toxins, cancer cells, as well as germs such as viruses and bacteria so that they can be removed from the body. The nodes are totally filled with the white blood cells called macrophages and lymphocytes and are essential for smooth functioning of the immune system. While the lymphatic system spreads the lymph fluid up to the cells and tissues, the lymph nodes themselves are the garrisons of various types of tissues and cells, of which lymphoid tissues and white blood cells are copious. Lymph nodes contribute drastically to the body’s defense power against infection."

What are the specific vitamins needed for your gums? Your gums are part of your body and they need the same vitamins that your whole body needs to remain healthy. Certain vitamins like vitamin D and K and C, and a vitamin helper called Coenzyme Q10 are essential for the health of all body tissues and organs, including your gums. However, all vitamins play a role in supporting and maintaining healthy gums, and they always perform their necessary functions best when they are present together in their natural form as found in unprocessed foods. They work just as well when they are concentrated in easy to take supplements made from these foods. How do I know when my gums are healthy? In a healthy mouth, your gums are firmly attached to your teeth by what is called the periodontal, ligament. Periodontal means around the tooth. The attachment is strong and tight enough to prevent any germs or their toxins from getting through, and any body fluids from getting out."

Of course, keep it low fat, you need to look after your waist line as well. Some studies have shown that people who consume dairy products every day have 40% less chance to develop a gum disease. I’d say that’s a pretty big percentage. The calcium and vitamin D from dairy products make your gums more resilient and by that, of course, less prone to diseases. When it comes to choosing dairy products, doctors say that pure milk is the best choice. Our bodies actually can’t use as much calcium from yogurt and cheese as they can from milk. Still, if you don’t like milk, rather choose other dairy products than flavored milk. Although flavored milk does contain calcium, it also contains as much sugar as soda, and sugar is the main reason your teeth and gums deteriorate.2."

Here are seven reasons to think twice before buying non-dairy milks:1. Carrageenan This seaweed-based additive is extremely inflammatory and should be fastidiously avoided. As a matter of fact, carrageenan is so caustic to the digestive tract that researchers use it to induce colitis in lab animals!

This disease is characterized by bleeding and swelling in the gums and was earlier known as the sailors disease due to its regular occurrence in men at sea, who were deprived of foods rich in vitamin C. What is Scurvy Disease? Scurvy may cause a lot of physical weakness and a general feeling of malaise. There is severe gingivitis and eventual hemorrhaging in the skin. The lack of ascorbic acid causes many other malfunctions in the bodys mechanisms. Description of Scurvy: Vitamin C is an extremely important nutrient, which is required for various functions in the body, and therefore requires a steady consumption. The daily recommended allowances of Vitamin C in an average adult are 90 mg in males and 75 mg in females. If your diet is deficient in the daily recommended allowance of the vitamin for an extended period, you will eventually end up experiencing symptoms of scurvy. Information on Scurvy: Scurvy is a now a rare disease and the incidences of this condition are rather low. Vitamin C is a common nutrient and is not required in very large quantities. So it is only when you have not been getting vitamin C at all for an extended period of time that you begin to experience the symptoms of scurvy."

"text": "How to Get Rid of Gingivitis (9)Prev 1 of 3 Next Gingivitis is a very common and mild form of gum disease. It is basically a mild infection of the gums. Anyone can develop gingivitis and many people are not even aware that they have it. Its common symptoms include irritation, redness, swelling and puffiness of the gums. Other symptoms include bad breath, loose teeth, receding gums, and gums that become tender and bleed, especially while brushing or flossing. The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene, which allows plaque to form on the teeth. Plaque is an invisible, sticky film composed of bacteria that can irritate the gums as well as the teeth. Some factors that can increase the risk of gingivitis are excessive smoking, use of tobacco, age, diabetes, certain medications, crooked teeth, ill-fitting dental restorations, broken fillings, pregnancy, genetics, compromised immunity, dry mouth and a poor diet. If left untreated, gingivitis can become serious and lead to severe infection known as periodontitis and even tooth loss. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, gingivitis is also associated with an increased risk of diabetes, heart attack and lung disease."

Read all of her previous Mark’s Daily Apple articles here, here, here, here, and here, pay her website a visit, and grab a copy of her new book Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Ruined Your Health. Enter Denise…When you’re a teenager, a tad cocky about your flossing-and-brushing prowess, and a proud worshipper at the altar of Colgate, the last thing you want to hear is that you might need dentures by the time you’re thirty. Unfortunately, that’s the exact situation I found myself in one fateful November day. I was seventeen. It’d been a full year since I’d become a strict, low-fat, fruit-noshing raw vegan — led there by a cocktail of food allergies and dewy-eyed trust in people from the internet (bad idea is bad). Perhaps too distracted by my constant brain fog, perpetual shivering, and the clumps of hair making a mass exodus from my scalp, I’d failed to notice the prime victim of my lopsided diet: my teeth. Up until then, I had pleasant associations with the ol’ dental chair. My mouth had only ever seen one cavity — a fluke in an otherwise pleasing track record. I’d never missed a day of flossing."

"text": "\"Detox Your Mouth: 9 Holistic Treatments For Oral Health9.9.14 | Lauren Felts CNWhile you cannot feel, see, or even taste them, your mouth is the permanent residence of a multitude of microorganisms. These microorganisms are teeny, tiny bacteria – and, similar to those that live in your gut, can be both beneficial and harmful to our health. The beneficial bacteria, which are also known as probiotics, aid in the digestion of foods, and protect our teeth and gums from the bad bacteria, which can easily grow out of control. Bad bacteria is disease-causing and leads to an array of oral health conditions such as bad breath, gingivitis, periodontitis, cavities, and plaque build-up. Controlling the bacteria and toxin levels in our mouths is not only important for keeping our oral cavities healthy, but is also important for whole body health. Infections and bacterial overgrowth in the mouth can travel throughout the body’s system, leading to cardiovascular disease, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, and low birth weight – all of which are easy to prevent! While the bad bacteria is always present to some degree, it can be kept in balance with good oral practices, targeted nutrition, and a few of our favorite holistic cleansing techniques. Get on board with these detox practices to make your mouth the most kissable it’s ever been…9 Ways to Detox your Mouth Tongue Scraping The fastest and easiest way to get those bad bugs out of your mouth is with a tongue scraper. A traditional technique in Ayurveda, tongue scraping cleans bacterial build-up, food debris, fungi, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue. This helps to not only clean the mouth, freshening the breath, but it also stimulates the metabolism as well."

However as we get older our lifestyles and appetite can change and this can affect the types and amounts of foods we eat. A decreasing appetite or reduced ability to buy and prepare healthy foods can mean that many older people don’t get enough essential vitamins, mineral and fibre, and this can contribute to general unwellness or exacerbate some chronic illness. It is important to use every meal and snack as an opportunity for maximum nutrition and find ways to improve your diet to fit with your personal tastes, ability and lifestyle, even if this means asking for help from friends, family or other community services. Ask your doctor, health centre or hospital, or local council for available support services in your community, or visit www.seniors.gov.au The following suggestions can also help you to maintain healthy eating habits as you get older. On this page: Salt Water High fat foods Alcohol Vitamins and minerals Bone health Arthritis Constipation Teeth and gums Shopping Use less salt Everyone requires a certain amount of salt, but too much can increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Salt occurs naturally in many foods such as meat, eggs, milk and vegetables, but much of the salt in the Australian diet comes from the salt added to foods by manufacturers or when adding salt yourself. Older adults should restrict their intake of high salt foods such as cured meats (including ham, corned beef, bacon and luncheon meats), snack foods (such as potato chips and savoury pastries) and sauces (such as soy sauce). Choose reduced salt varieties of foods when shopping, and flavour foods with herbs and spices instead of adding salt. Drink more water Water supports provides many vital functions in body, including hydration, digestion and blood volume, however as you age you may not feel thirsty as often, even when your body needs fluid."

Fortunately, there are things that you can do within the comfort of your own home in order to treat, improve, and prevent receding gums. Continue reading to discover the best five ways in which to combat this problem. Pin1Brush, Floss, and Mouthwash Maintaining a good standard of oral hygiene is the most essential step in improving receding gums. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, making sure your toothbrush has soft bristles and that you brush softly so no additional damage is done to your gums. Accompany the brushing with flossing and a mouthwash solution that promotes gum health. If you do not drink fluoridated water, it is important to use toothpaste or mouthwash that contains fluoride, since fluoride has been shown to help prevent cavities and maintain oral health.2Baking Soda Massage Baking soda can go far in helping your receding gums. Massage your entire gum line with a baking soda solution in order to neutralize the acids that bacteria usually feed on. This will help you prevent decay in the gums, while the light massage can help to stimulate gum growth as well as increase blood circulation.3Probiotic Foods Yogurt, miso, fermented vegetables like kimchi and sauerkraut, and some aged cheeses are a few foods that contain probiotics. Probiotics are well known for their ability to improve gum health, but there is also research that shows they also are beneficial for oral health."

Cooper voted in every election after the 19th Amendment was passed, save for two. She died Tuesday, at age 116, only one of eight people recognized by the Guinness World Records to have lived that long.

Born on 21 February 1875 to Nicolas (1837 - 1931) and Marguerite (neé Gilles 1838 - 1924), Jeanne died at a nursing home in Arles, southern France on 4 August 1997. *** She was born on 21 February 1875, around 14 years before the Eiffel Tower was constructed (she saw it being built), and some 15 years before the advent of movies. The year after her birth, Tolstoy published Anna Karenina and Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone. Jeanne Louise Calment from France lived a quiet life. But an unprecedentedly long one. Her marriage to a wealthy distant cousin, Fernand Nicolas Calment, in 1896 meant that Jeanne didn’t have to work for a living. That may have played a part in her extraordinary longevity: she was free to swim, play tennis, cycle (she was still cycling until the age of 100) and roller skate, all of which promoted excellent good health. Inevitably, in due course, those around her passed away – including her husband (poisoned by some spoiled cherries, aged 73), her daughter Yvonne (who died from pneumonia in 1934) and even her grandson, Frédéric (who died in a car accident in 1963).

It seems like that is what an allowance implies. Kids need to feel the burden of work so they can experience the joy of its rewards. In addition to earning some money, doing chores around the house is teaching them responsibility. The home is where they should begin to learn basic life skills.

Tuti Yusupova was apparently born on July 1, 1880 - which would make her 12 years older than the current record holder, Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997. Government officials in her home country of Uzbekistan have backed a claim by her relatives to make the claim official in the Guinness Book of Records. Tuti's passport and birth certificate seem to prove the claims, which would make her eight years older than the Eiffel Tower. Proof? Tuti's passport says she was born in 1880 (Image: BBC)Her funeral was held in Uzbekistan, where a top politician said it was \"\"without doubt\"\" that her age has been proven. Baxadir Yangibaev, chairman of the council of ministers of the Republic of Karakalpakstan – the area of Uzbekistan where Tuti lived – said that out of a population of 30 million the country had 8,700 centenarians, making it a very healthy place to live. At the age of 134, Tuti lived through countless major events including two World Wars, the invention of television, the modern motor car, aeroplanes and the interent.

However, he could have lived even longer if scientists hadn't discovered him. Unfortunately, their calculations of Ming's age weren't possible without cracking open the clam's shell, so researchers didn't realize they were in possession of what was likely the world's oldest living animal – until they had already killed it. One good thing came out of Ming's demise – his shell can provide scientists with unique insights into the changes of sea temperatures over the last 500 years and can possibly unlock the secret to aging. Source2 The Oldest Tortoise Tortoises are known for their longevity, but a tortoise living in India's Alipore Zoo set a record that won't soon be broken – surviving for 250 years. ( To put things in perspective, that's older than the government of the United States of America! ) Adwaita's life began in the 1700s, when he was captured in the Seychelles Islands before being given to British general Robert Clive of the East India Company. Clive kept Adwaita as a pet before the tortoise was donated to the zoo in 1875. For more than 125 years, it lived in the same zoo enclosure until it passed away in 2006. Adwaita's shell was then carbon dated to confirm his age."

"text": "Society The US States With the Oldest Populations Since the dawn of the 20th century, the total population of elderly in the United States has grown elevenfold. With the advancements of modern medicine, the average life expectancy and therefore the percentage of senior citizens within the US continues to rise. In 2013, there were 44.5 million elderly persons in the United States. This constitutes about 14.1 percent of America’s total population translating to one elderly person in every seven Americans. Statistics also show that come 2060 there will be approximately 98 million elderly people in the United States. By elderly we are referring to those who are aged 65 years and above. Number of American Senior Citizens Will Continue to Rise Interestingly enough, the age group of those aged 85 years old and above have shown the fastest growth in the United States over the last ten years. In the centuries since the country’s founding, US life expectancy at birth has more than doubled. It had increased to 47 years by the early 1900s, and further rose to 68 years by the year 1950. By 1991, life expectancy for women was at 79 years while men were at 72 years."

Maggie Barnes – 115 years, 319 days Maggie Maggie Pauline Barnes née Hinnant (6 March 1882 – 19 January 1998) was an American supercentenarian. She was a resident of Johnston County, North Carolina. Barnes died from complications following a minor foot infection. Barnes, who was born to a slave and married a tenant farmer, was survived by four children; 11 of her children preceded her in death. Some dispute exists as to her date of birth. Though the family Bible gives the 1882 date, she is listed as having been born in 1881 by the 1900 US Census, and she is listed as having been born in 1880 on her marriage license. Authenticating to the latter of those dates, Barnes was 115 years, 319 days old when she died.9."

Koide was born on March 13th, 1903, in Nagoya, Japan and took the title of the oldest man in the world in August of last year. The year Koide was born is the same year of the historic first flight made by the Wright brothers, and also the year when Japan was in a dispute with Russia over Manchuria, a conflict that would later evolve into the Russo-Japanese War in early 1904. When Koide was younger he worked as a tailor for a men's clothing store. He was doing very well for his age, living at home and regularly attending a day care centre.

This is a list not of centenarians (people who have reached the age of 100 years), but of supercentenarians, who are those that have reached the ripe old age of 110 years or more. supercentenarians represent only a small portion of those living over 100 years. Only 1 in 1000 centenarians reach the age of 110. Further, only 2 percent of supercentenarians live to see age 115. Currently there are a documented 76 female and 2 male supercentenarians.

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

Between 1920 and 1939, a total of 63 countries became member states of the League of Nations. The Covenant forming the League of Nations was included in the Treaty of Versailles and came into force on 10 January 1920. The League of Nations was dissolved on 18 April 1946, when its assets and responsibilities were transferred to the United Nations. The League's greatest extent was from 28 September 1934 (when Ecuador joined) to 23 February 1935 (when Paraguay withdrew) with 58 members. At this time, only Costa Rica (22 January 1925), Brazil (14 June 1926), Japan (27 March 1933) and Germany (19 September 1933) had withdrawn and only Egypt was left to join (on 26 May 1937). The members (listed from earliest joining and alphabetically if they joined on the same day) at this time were Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, the British Empire, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, El Salvador, France, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Italy, Liberia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Persia/Iran, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Siam, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Luxembourg, Albania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, the Irish Free State, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Turkey, Iraq, the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, and Ecuador.

Therefore, what happens in the 'North' has a huge impact on what happens here. For this section, it is important to understand the international background, and what the world was like in the 1960s. This will help us contextualise the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa in the 1970s. Also, it is impossible to understand what happened in South Africa (the 'small picture') unless we understand what happened in international relations (the 'big picture') towards the end of the 1980s.

"text": "John Glenn, First American To Orbit Earth, Dies At 95Godspeed, John Glenn. Doug Mataconis · Thursday, December 8, 2016 · 19 comments John Glenn, one of the original Mercury Seven and a pioneer in America’s space program, has died at the age of 95: John Glenn, a freckle-faced son of Ohio who was hailed as a national hero and a symbol of the space age as the first American to orbit Earth, then became a national political figure for 24 years in the Senate, died on Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. He was 95. His death was announced on Twitter by Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. Mr. Glenn had recently been hospitalized at the James Cancer Center at Ohio State University in Columbus, though university officials said at the time that admission there did not necessarily mean he had cancer. He had heart-valve replacement surgery in 2014 and a stroke around that time. He had kept an office on the campus at the John Glenn School of Public Affairs, which he helped found, and had a home in Columbus. In just five hours on Feb. 20, 1962, Mr. Glenn joined a select roster of Americans whose feats have seized the country’s imagination and come to embody a moment in its history, figures like Lewis and Clark, the Wright brothers and Charles Lindbergh. To the America of the 1960s, Mr. Glenn was a clean-cut, good-natured, well-grounded Midwesterner, raised in Presbyterian rectitude, nurtured in patriotism and tested in war, who stepped forward to risk the unknown and succeeded spectacularly, lifting his country’s morale and restoring its self-confidence. It was an anxious nation that watched and listened that February morning, as Mr. Glenn, 40 years old, a Marine Corps test pilot and one of the seven original American astronauts, climbed into Friendship 7, the tiny Mercury capsule atop an Atlas rocket rising from the concrete flats of Cape Canaveral in Florida."

For a century since that time, there had been no major war in Europe. Countries had organized themselves in a complex system of alliances. After Napoleon's defeat, the United Kingdom, France, Prussia, Russia, and Austria met in Vienna. These nations decided that if power in Europe was balanced, then no nation would become so powerful as to pose a threat to the others. The most important of these were the German Confederation. In 1871, after defeating France and Prussia, several small German nations combined into the German Empire. This upset the traditional balance of power. German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck began to construct a web of alliances to protect German dominance. Germany and the United Kingdom were on good terms, as Germany had not built a navy to go up against British sea power."

The reason for it was: The main reason was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian. So Austro-Hungarian Empire issued a ultimatum to Serbia, with ridiculous demands. Serbia did not accept the ultimatum. Also Austro-Hungarian empire hated Serbia. Austro-Hungarian empire was allied with Germany. Serbia was closely allied with Russia. When the Austro-Hungarian empire declared war on Serbia, they were given assurance by Germany that they would help the Austro-Hungarian empire if Russia intervened. France and Russia were allied so Germans knew that if they would invade Russia France would also join the war."

We also focussed upon its specific successes and failures. After going through this chapter you will be able to: • know the underlying debates and controversies regarding the formation of an international organisation after World War II2|Page • • •enhance your knowledge about the various conferences that created a basis for the present United learn the relative successes and massive failures of the League of Nations contemplate the significance of the League after its demise3.1 Introduction: Born with the will of the victors of the First World War to avoid a repeat of a devastating war, the League of Nations represents an important milestone in the direction of achieving the age old global community aspiration of a global body. It was the first significant institution with a clear objective to maintain universal peace within the framework of the fundamental principles of the Pact accepted by its Members: to develop cooperation among nations and to guarantee them peace and security. The League’s goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years. After a number of notable successes and some early failures in the 1920s, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis Powers in the 1930s. The onset of the Second World War suggested that the League had failed in its primary purpose — to avoid any future world war. In spite of its political failure, the legacy of the League of Nations at the same time appears clearly in a number of principles stated by the Charter and in the competencies and experiences developed in the area of technical cooperation: the majority of the specialized institutions of the United Nations system can in fact be considered the legacy of the work initiated by the League of Nations.3.2 Founding of the League of Nations: It was during the World War I, numerous groups stared organising to look after the way to maintain peace and prevent future wars."

PATRIOT DAY AND NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE, 2015 - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATIONOn September 11, 2001, America experienced the worst terrorist attack in her history when nearly 3,000 men, women, and children were taken from us, leaving their families and our Nation with a void that can never be filled. But those who brought hate to our shores and smoke to our skies did not expect our country to emerge stronger, and our beacons of hope and freedom to shine brighter as a result. In the years since, we have stood strong as one people ‑‑ determined to further embolden our country's character with acts of endurance and strength; rebuilding and resilience; renewal and progress. In remembrance of the innocent victims who lost their lives and in honor of the families they left behind, let us continue to answer these heinous acts by serving our communities, lifting the lives of our fellow citizens, and spreading the hope that others tried to dim that day. The compassion that rose in the hearts and minds of the American people on September 11 still serves as the ultimate rebuke to the evil of those who attacked us. First responders who risked and gave their lives to rescue others demonstrated the unwavering heroism that defines our great Nation. Volunteers donated time, money, and blood to ensure wounds gave way to healing and recovery. Young people, raised until then in a time of peace, stepped forward to serve and defend us, and meet the threats of our time. And people from across our country and the world joined together in the days that followed to stand up and turn toward one another with open arms, making of a tragedy something the terrorists could never abide ‑‑ a tribute of hope over fear, and love over hate."

The USSR oversaw the installation of pro-Soviet governments in many of the areas it had taken from the Nazis during the war. In response, the U. S. and its Western allies sought ways to prevent further expansion of Communist influence on the European continent. In 1947, U. S. leaders introduced the Marshall Plan, a diplomatic initiative that provided aid to friendly nations to help them rebuild their war-damaged infrastructures and economies. Did You Know? NATO continued its existence beyond the Cold War era and gained new member nations in Eastern Europe during the late 1990s. That development was not well received by leaders of the Russian Federation and became a source of post-Cold War tension between the East and the West. Events of the following year prompted American leaders to adopt a more militaristic stance toward the Soviets. In February 1948, a coup sponsored by the Soviet Union overthrew the democratic government of Czechoslovakia and brought that nation firmly into the Communist camp. Within a few days, U. S. leaders agreed to join discussions aimed at forming a joint security agreement with their European allies."

Allies during World War II, the USA and the USSR became competitors on the world stage and engaged in the Cold War, so called because it never resulted in overt, declared hot war between the two powers but was instead characterized by espionage, political subversion and proxy wars. Western Europe and Japan were rebuilt through the American Marshall Plan whereas Eastern Europe fell under the Soviet sphere of influence and eventually an \"\" Iron Curtain \"\". Europe was divided into a US-led Western Bloc and a Soviet-led Eastern Bloc. Internationally, alliances with the two blocs gradually shifted, with some nations trying to stay out of the Cold War through the Non-Aligned Movement. The Cold War also saw a nuclear arms race between the two superpowers; part of the reason that the Cold War never became a \"\"hot\"\" war was that the Soviet Union and the United States had nuclear deterrents against each other, leading to a mutually assured destruction standoff. As a consequence of the war, the Allies created the United Nations, an organization for international cooperation and diplomacy, similar to the League of Nations. Members of the United Nations agreed to outlaw wars of aggression in an attempt to avoid a third world war. The devastated great powers of Western Europe formed the European Coal and Steel Community, which later evolved into the European Common Market and ultimately into the current European Union. This effort primarily began as an attempt to avoid another war between Germany and France by economic cooperation and integration, and a common market for important natural resources."

[ 1] The first ruling dynasty, the Piasts, emerged by the 10th century AD. Duke Mieszko I (d. 992) is considered the de facto creator of the Polish state and is widely recognized for the adoption of Western Christianity that followed his baptism in 966. Mieszko's duchy of Poland was formally reconstituted as a medieval kingdom in 1025 by his son Bolesław I the Brave, known for military expansion under his rule. Perhaps the most successful of the Piast kings was the last one, Casimir III the Great, who presided over a brilliant period of economic prosperity and territorial aggrandizement before his death in 1370 without male heirs. The period of the Jagiellonian dynasty in the 14th–16th centuries brought close ties with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a cultural Renaissance in Poland and continued territorial expansion that culminated in the establishment of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1569. In its early phases, the Commonwealth was able to sustain the levels of prosperity achieved during the Jagiellonian period, while its political system matured as a unique noble democracy. From the mid-17th century, however, the huge state entered a period of decline caused by devastating wars and the deterioration of its political system. Significant internal reforms were introduced during the later part of the 18th century, especially in the Constitution of 3 May 1791, but neighboring powers did not allow the reform process to advance. The independent existence of the Commonwealth ended in 1795 after a series of invasions and partitions of Polish territory carried out by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy."

It has traditionally stated its general aim as being to \"\"safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation\"\" of its members by promoting \"\"stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area\"\". Members agree that an armed attack against one shall be considered an attack against them all, and that they will come to the aid of one another. OVERVIEWOVERVIEW | FACTS | LEADERS | ISSUESOriginally consisting of 12 countries, the organisation expanded to include Greece and Turkey in 1952 and West Germany in 1955. However, then, as now, the alliance was militarily dominated by the United States. Afghan mission was Nato's first non-European operation In 1955 the Soviet Union created a counter-alliance called the Warsaw Pact, which dissolved after the break-up of the USSR in 1991. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland became the first former Warsaw Pact countries to gain Nato membership in 1999. The next historic step came in 2004 when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, republics of the USSR until its collapse in 1991, along with Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania were welcomed as Nato members at a ceremony in Washington. Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia have joined Nato's Partnership for Peace programme - a first step towards membership. At a summit in Bucharest in early April 2008, NATO countries invited Albania and Croatia to join on schedule."

"text": "\"Power and the Presidency, From Kennedy to Obama For the past 50 years, the commander in chief has steadily expanded presidential power, particularly in foreign policy John F. Kennedy, right, with his brother Robert, during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. ( AP Photo)By Robert Dallek Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe January 2011Fifty Januaries ago, under a pallid sun and amid bitter winds, John F. Kennedy swore the oath that every president had taken since 1789 and then delivered one of the most memorable inaugural addresses in the American canon. “ We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom,” the 35th president began. After noting that “the world is very different now” from the world of the Framers because “man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life,” he announced that “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” and made the pledge that has echoed ever since: “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty. ”After discoursing on the challenges of eradicating hunger and disease and the necessity of global cooperation in the cause of peace, he declared that “ [i]n the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.” Then he issued the call for which he is best remembered: “And so, my fellows Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. ”The address was immediately recognized as ex-ceptionally eloquent—“a rallying cry” (the Chicago Tribune ), “a speech of rededication” (the Philadelphia Bulletin ), “a call to action which Americans have needed to hear for many a year” (the Denver Post )—and acutely attuned to a moment that promised both advances in American prowess and grave peril from Soviet expansion. As James Reston wrote in his column for the New York Times, “The problems before the Kennedy Administration on Inauguration Day are much more difficult than the nation has yet come to believe. ”In meeting the challenges of his time, Kennedy sharply expanded the power of the presidency, particularly in foreign affairs. The 50th anniversary of his inauguration highlights the consequences—for him, for his successors and for the American people."

"text": "\"Answer by Don Dfoofnik Confidence votes 231KThere are three kinds of answers: ones that are mostly right, ones that are mostly wrong, and those that once were right but now are wrong. NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which was established by the US and Western Europe following World War II. It originally consisted of twelve countries: the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg, and Iceland. These countries agreed to come to the aid of any member who was attacked, and represented a common front against any territorial expansion by the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. Through 2010, NATO has added members nations from the breakup of the Soviet Union's satellite bloc in Eastern Europe. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO, also called the \"\" (North) Atlantic Alliance\"\", is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949. The NATO headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, [3] and the organization constitutes a system of collective defense whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. NATO has added new members seven times since first forming in 1949 (the last two in 2009). NATO comprises 28 members: Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but 1947–91 is common. The term \"\"cold\"\" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences: the former being a single-party Marxist–Leninist state operating a planned economy and controlled press and owning exclusively the right to establish and govern communities, and the latter being a capitalist state with generally free elections and press, which also granted freedom of expression and freedom of association to its citizens. A self-proclaimed neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement founded by Egypt, India, Indonesia and Yugoslavia; this faction rejected association with either the US-led West or the Soviet-led East. The two superpowers never engaged directly in full-scale armed combat, but they were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all-out nuclear world war."

In this case, however, the military means in question are so powerful and destructive that it has been doubted whether any worthwhile political purpose could be served by their use. On the one hand, it has been questioned whether any country with pretensions to civilization could unleash such a devastating force as nuclear weapons. On the other hand, it has been noted that their use against an opponent similarly endowed would result in an equally ruinous retaliation. The central issue for nuclear strategy, therefore, is less how to win and wage a nuclear war than whether by preparing to do so it is possible to create a deterrent effect. The minimum objective would be to deter another’s nuclear use, and the maximum would be to deter any aggression, on the grounds that any hostilities might create the extreme circumstances in which the restraints on nuclear use would fall away.first thermonuclear weapon In an operation code-named Mike, the first thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) was detonated at Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands, November 1, 1952.

"text": "\"How far did Kennan's ideas actually shape US policy towards the Soviet Union?by Howard Fienberg Dec 5, 1996GV903, University of Essex, for Neil Robinson George Kennan's \"\"long telegram\"\" set off a furor at the time. He had neatly summed up a certain view of the workings of Soviet society, and, however vaguely, had made a policy recommendation for how the United States should deal with the Soviet Union. However, it would seem that policy makers preferred to have his papers as a justification for their policy, or at least for a policy which they were still developing, rather than truly addressing Kennan himself and his ideas. One can assess the extent to which Kennan's ideas on containment actually shaped US policy towards the Soviet Union by examining several aspects of US policy during the Cold War. First, one must look at the policy of containment, both in terms of its limits, and its militarization. Then, a look at the domestic political aspects of US policy would prove fruitful, followed by an examination of detente. The Limits of Containment Containment was a strategy to limit and prevent Soviet expansionism. It was a theory that said that communism was like water and would trickle into countries that were weak and unstable. In response, the US had to bolster the strength of other nations around the world in order to defend democracy and the open market. Truman made this his doctrine in 1947, as justification for intervention in the Greek Civil War (where the Soviets were believed to be involved in aiding the leftist rebellion) and aid to Turkey (which the Soviet Union was pressuring for concessions)."

Photograph Courtesy of the National Archives & Records Administrationby Kennedy Hickman Updated July 03, 2017World War II 101 | Next: The Phoney War to the Battle of Britain Effects of the Treaty of Versailles Many of the seeds of World War II in Europe were sown by the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. In its final form, the treaty placed full blame for the war on Germany and Austria-Hungary, as well as exacted harsh financial reparations and led to territorial dismemberment. For the German people, who had believed that the armistice had been agreed to based on US President Woodrow Wilson's lenient Fourteen Points, the treaty caused resentment and a deep mistrust of their new government, the Weimar Republic. The need to pay war reparations, coupled with the instability of the government, contributed to massive hyperinflation which crippled the German economy. This situation was made worse by the onset of the Great Depression. In addition to the economic ramifications of the treaty, Germany was required to demilitarize the Rhineland and had severe limitations placed on the size of its military, including the abolishment of its air force. Territorially, Germany was stripped of its colonies and forfeited land for the formation the country of Poland. To ensure that Germany would not expand, the treaty forbade the annexation of Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Rise of Fascism & the Nazi Party In 1922, Benito Mussolini and the Fascist Party rose to power in Italy. Believing in a strong central government and strict control of industry and the people, Fascism was a reaction to the perceived failure of free market economics and a deep fear of communism."

"text": "\"Alliances, Coalitions, and Ententes Warren F. Kimball During the end of the 1990s, globalism for most Americans meant an exhilarating combination of political security and economic prosperity. The Cold War had dissipated, while wages and profits seemed on an endless uptick. Intervention in a new outbreak of the Balkan wars came in association with some of the major western European states and partly under the aegis of NATO, but the reaction against the U. S. bombing of Belgrade illustrated just how tenuous alliance policy really was. For the administration of President Bill Clinton and most Americans, globalism did not mean becoming the world's police officer, or even joining a police force with worldwide responsibilities. The United Nations was not an alliance. But on 11 September 2001, globalism took on a new meaning. The suicide attacks by nineteen Muslim terrorists on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in the District of Columbia demonstrated that America's comfort zone, that sense of political security originally fostered by time and distance across oceans, no longer existed — not even as wishful thinking. The long-held belief in American invulnerability, enhanced by modern technology and dreams of Star War – like defenses that could not be breached, collapsed along with the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The initial response by the administration of George W. Bush was to seek revenge under the guise of \"\"infinite justice.\"\" But that quickly gave way to the realities of identifying, locating, and either capturing or executing those who planned the hijacking of the commercial aircraft that flew into the towers and the Pentagon and their use as fuel-laden missiles."

B., ordered foreign-intelligence operatives to carry out “active measures”— aktivniye meropriyatiya —against the reëlection campaign of President Ronald Reagan. Unlike classic espionage, which involves the collection of foreign secrets, active measures aim at influencing events—at undermining a rival power with forgeries, front groups, and countless other techniques honed during the Cold War. The Soviet leadership considered Reagan an implacable militarist. According to extensive notes made by Vasili Mitrokhin, a high-ranking K. G. B. officer and archivist who later defected to Great Britain, Soviet intelligence tried to infiltrate the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic National Committees, popularize the slogan “Reagan Means War!,” and discredit the President as a corrupt servant of the military-industrial complex. The effort had no evident effect. Reagan won forty-nine of fifty states. Active measures were used by both sides throughout the Cold War. In the nineteen-sixties, Soviet intelligence officers spread a rumor that the U. S. government was involved in the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. In the eighties, they spread the rumor that American intelligence had “created” the AIDS virus, at Fort Detrick, Maryland."

Uzbekistan rejoined the CSTO in 2006 but withdrew in 2012. Nikolai Bordyuzha was appointed secretary general of the new organization. On 23 June 2006, Uzbekistan became a full participant in the CSTO; and its membership was ratified by the Uzbek parliament on 28 March 2008. [ 2] It suspended its membership in 2012. The CSTO is an observer organization at the United Nations General Assembly. The CSTO charter reaffirmed the desire of all participating states to abstain from the use or threat of force."

Officially, the state was, as in the preceding Weimar Republic era, still called the Deutsches Reich until 1943, whereafter it changed to its current form. The policies pursued during this period were based on the concept of Lebensraum, among them \"\"Aryan\"\" racial purity, anti-Semitism, revenge for Germany's territorial losses at the Treaty of Versailles and the perceived loss of pride because of it, and anti-communism directed at the Soviet Union; also the Nazi regime's systematic mass murder of Jews, political opponents and other minorities like homosexuals and gypsies in a genocide known as the Holocaust. Under the Nazi regime, Germany became one of the major states in Europe by early 1939 from a military, territorial and to some degree economical standpoint. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, Nazi Germany became the first united German state since the Holy Roman Empire to include Austria within its boundaries. Following the no compliance by the Czechoslovak government regarding the secession of the Sudetenland as demanded in the Munich Agreement signed by Hitler, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier and Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini on September 29, 1938, Hitler launched his military powers on Czechoslovakia, initiating Operation Fall Grün on October 1, 1938. On October 20, Hungary entered the war on Hitler's side, and following a bloody campaign, the Germans and the Hungarians finally conquered Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939."

After 1935, Mussolini would come increasingly under Hitler's influence. Hitler would also begin to free Germanyfrom the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles and Anglo-French encirclement. The advance of Italo-German interests during from 1935 to the beginning of the Second World War -- an era characterized by the Great Depression and appeasement -- also created an aura of totalitarian success and collaboration. The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Rhineland (1936), Austria (1937), Czechoslovakia (1938), and Albania (1939) lent credence tothis perception. This period was also critical to Germany and Italy's efforts in building a coalition. A most important step in the military features of the German plan was the signing on 25 and 26 October, 1936, of a treaty with protocols, between Germany and Italy, which together formed the origin of the now famous Rome-Berlin Axis. Prior to 1935, Italy had sided politically with Great Britain and France. As late as 1934 she was hostile to German expansion in Austria. A change occurred in 1935, caused by Italy engaging in a war to conquer Ethiopia."

The rivalry between Troy and Jacksonville State was arguably the fiercest of those.

The question stems from a Skip Bayless book in which he surmised that Aikman might be gay. Recently Sports Illustrated 's Richard Deitsch asked Aikman about the story that's followed him for 20 years. Aikman went on the attack: I'm upset about it because it was made up and there was nothing accurate about anything that was insinuated. And he did it, as he does everything, just for attention. I am probably more upset because I probably should have responded to it at the time it was going on."

Unlike the Commish, who was revealed to have this fear (the NFL and Goodell both disputed the assertion) in a recent profile in ESPN The Magazine, there is nothing figurative about my bad dream. It attacks my sleep periodically, usually in the summer rather than during football season, as if my subconscious is reminding me just how much the NFL means to me. The doomed player in my nightmare isn’t one of my beloved Cincinnati Bengals. He wears a generic dark jersey that could be any team’s uniform. He is catching a pass, so he’s probably a wide receiver, though because I can never make out his number I suppose he could be a tight end or a running back. He jumps for a high throw, and as he comes down he is blasted on either side. One defender hits him high, one defender hits him low. And then he’s literally ripped in half by the force of the hits."

S.), American gridiron football quarterback who led the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL) to three Super Bowl victories (1993, 1994, and 1996). Aikman was raised in Cerritos, a suburb of Los Angeles, before moving with his family to the small town of Henryetta, Oklahoma, where he was an all-state high school standout. He was recruited by coaches Barry Switzer of the University of Oklahoma and Jimmy Johnson of Oklahoma State University; both later went on to coach him as a professional with the Cowboys. Aikman chose the University of Oklahoma, but he left the school after Switzer introduced the wishbone formation to the Oklahoma offense, emphasizing a running game at the expense of Aikman’s strong passing skills. Aikman subsequently attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where, as a transfer student, he had to sit out the 1986 season. He excelled in his remaining two years at UCLA, leading his squad to a 20–4 record, with postseason victories in the Aloha Bowl (December 1987) and the Cotton Bowl (January 1989). He was named All-American in his senior year and placed third in the polling for the Heisman Trophy, college football’s most prestigious award. The Cowboys, one of the most dominant and popular teams in the 1970s, had fallen on lean times by 1989, when the team made Aikman the overall number one draft selection. He fared poorly in his first few seasons, throwing more interceptions than touchdown passes and missing games because of injuries. In 1992–93, however, his first season without injuries, Aikman led the team—which included running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin—to a Super Bowl victory as the Cowboys defeated the Buffalo Bills."

"text": "\"Jim Tressel tenders resignation May 31, 2011ESPN.com news services Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jim Tressel, who guided Ohio State to its first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations from a tattoo-parlor scandal that sullied the image of one of the country's top football programs. \"\" After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach,\"\" Tressel said in a statement released by the university. \"\" The appreciation that [wife] Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable. \"\" Luke Fickell will be the coach for the 2011 season. He already had been selected to be the interim head coach while Tressel served a five-game suspension. Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch said he was unaware of any buyout or severance package. He added that Tressel had returned from vacation Sunday night and met with athletic director Gene Smith, who then met with staff. Tressel typed his resignation and submitted it to Smith, he said. Under terms of Tressel's contract, which was worth around $3.5 million a year through the 2014 season, Ohio State is not required to pay him any money or provide any benefits upon his resignation. The resignation was first reported by The Columbus Dispatch."

Their colors are black and gold. [ 2]Long Beach State (LBSU) has competed since 1969 in the NCAA Division I Big West Conference (BWC), known at the time as the Pacific Coast Athletic Association. Before becoming a founding member of the PCAA, LBSU participated in the Division II California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) from 1957 to 1969, and before that spent three years as an independent team. The Long Beach State baseball team gained national prominence in 1989, with the hiring of Dave Snow as head coach. The Dirtbags established themselves as one of the strongest teams on the West Coast, being consistently ranked in the national top 25 and appearing in 17 of 20 NCAA tournaments from '89 though 2008, and three of the last four as of 2017. From 2010 to present day, more active Major League professional ballplayers are alumni of Long Beach State than any other school.

However, sports did exist at GSU prior to becoming an NCAA member; In 1956, the Panthers began a baseball team, the oldest sport played at Georgia State. [ 2] Prior to joining the NCAA, no scholarships were given and no sports were part of any national affiliate. [ 3] When GSU did join the NCAA, only basketball, cross country, golf, and tennis were played as NCAA sports [3] (only men's teams were allowed to compete in the NCAA until 1980). [ 4] In 1975, five women's sports also joined, playing in the New South Women's Athletic Conference, or NSWAC, a conference of the AIAW. [ 5]Founding of the Sun Belt Conference [ edit]In 1976, the Sun Belt Conference was formed with Georgia State being one of its founding members. [ 6] However, in 1980, the Panthers left the Sun Belt, with the most cited reason being that the conference encouraged its members to play in the largest basketball venue in town; in the case of the Panthers, that was the 16,500 seat Omni Coliseum, an NBA venue where the Atlanta Hawks played.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Barbarian (disambiguation).19th century portrayal of the Huns as barbarians. This article contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols. A barbarian is a human who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. The designation is usually applied as generalization based on a popular stereotype; barbarians can be any member of a nation judged by some to be less civilized or orderly (such as a tribal society ), but may also be part of a certain \"\"primitive\"\" cultural group (such as nomads) or social class (such as bandits) both within and outside one's own nation. Alternatively, they may instead be admired and romanticised as noble savages. In idiomatic or figurative usage, a \"\"barbarian\"\" may also be an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, and insensitive person. [ 1]The term originates from the Greek: βάρβαρος ( barbaros pl. βάρβαροι barbaroi ), which in turn originates from the incomprehensible languages of early Anatolian nations that were heard by the Greeks as \"\"bar..bar..\"\" In Ancient Greece, the Greeks used the term towards those who didn't speak Greek and follow classical Greek customs. [ 2] In the early modern period and sometimes later, the Byzantine Greeks used it for the Turks, in a clearly pejorative manner. ["

Mike Pence of Indiana at a news conference in Indianapolis in May 2014. A J Mast for The New York Times Long after government regulators had confirmed the lethal consequences of cigarette smoking, Mike Pence mocked their warnings as “hysteria” in 1998.“Time for a quick reality check,” he wrote. “ Smoking doesn’t kill. ”Long after most members of Congress had abandoned the quaint practice of delivering one-minute morning speeches, Mr. Pence eagerly held court in an empty chamber, musing about sports and Scripture. And long after Republicans’ war on big government was fading, Mr. Pence defiantly opposed his own party over the creation of signature programs like No Child Left Behind and a Medicare prescription drug benefit. Throughout his career as a congressman, radio host and governor, Gov. Michael Richard Pence of Indiana, Donald J. Trump’s running mate, has been deeply and proudly out of sync with his times. With his formal bearing, shiny helmet of white hair and carefully chosen, slowly delivered words, he is a throwback in his demeanor. With his deep social conservatism, public religiosity and aversion to negative campaigning, he is a throwback in his political style.

Thanks for your answers!Update: anyone can give a brief history of this music and how did it originate , I guess is a simpler way of asking this question. Update 2: and how is it different than English music from the same time periods? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The definition of \"\"Celtic\"\" music must start with a definition of what a \"\"Celt\"\" is. The origin of the term goes back to the word keltoi, which was used by the ancient Greeks to refer to certain barbarian tribes. In modern terminology, \"\"Celtic\"\" is used to refer to a certain branch of the Indo-European language group. Some of the tribes called keltoi spoke Celtic languages. However, it is not certain that the Greeks applied keltoi only to Celtic-speaking tribes. ( In general, the ancient Greeks considered languages other than Greek to be little more than childish babble, which is what their term barbaros indicates.) More superficially the term 'Celtic' has come to apply to an easy-listening, 'mood' music with dreamy, non-specific but Irish/Scots flavour, marketed as 'relaxing', 'evocative', etc."

"text": "\"What does Barbara mean? Pronounce Barbara [ 3 syll. bar - ba - ra, ba -rb- ara ] The baby girl name Barbara is pronounced in English as B AA R-Bah R-ah or B AA R-BRah or in Polish as Baa R-B AA -Raa †. Barbara is of Latin origin, and it is used mainly in the English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slavic, and Spanish languages. The name is of the meaning 'foreign woman'. It is derived from barbari meaning 'foreign, stammering people' ; barbaros 'foreign, barbaric' ; barbar 'unintelligible speech'. The root element refers to the unintelligible stammering of foreigners, which to the Greeks sounded like 'bar-bar'. The name could have been first borne by Saint Barbara, who was a foreign slave. She was a 3rd-century martyr executed by her father for her Christian faith; immediately after her death the latter was struck dead by a bolt of lightning. Thus, she is a protectress against fire and lightning in Catholic custom, and by association, the patron saint of gunners, firework makers, and stonemasons. There is no evidence that she actually existed, but her cult was very strong from the 9th century onwards, leading to a widespread adoption of the name."

Kamé Ali does a false start in heat 3 of the men's 110 metres hurdles at the 2012 London Olympics Look up false start in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. In sports, a false start is a movement by a participant before (or in some cases after) being signaled or otherwise permitted by the rules to start. Depending on the sport and the event, a false start can result in a penalty against the athlete's or team's field position, a warning that a subsequent false start will result in disqualification, or immediate disqualification of the athlete from further competition. False starts are common in racing sports (such as swimming, track, sprinting, and motor sports ), where differences are made by fractions of a second and where anxiety to get the best start plays a role in the athletes' behavior. A race that is started cleanly, on the contrary, is referred to as a fair start or clean start.

For offensive linemen, this movement might be as minimal as a couple of centimeters, although the rule's intent is to prevent offensive players from unfairly drawing the defense offside. A false start brings a 5 yard penalty. Unlike an offside penalty, where the play is run as usual, the play after a false start penalty immediately becomes dead."

The replacement of the pinhole with a converging lenwas first described by the Venetian, Daniel Barbaro, in 1568. He suggested that the image would be improved by covering it with a disk having a small hole in the center, a very early reference to stopping down a lens to increase the depth of focus. The box form of Camera Obscura shown at the right was invented by Johann Zahn in 1685. This example is in the historical apparatus collection at Transylvania University, and is of the form used by William Henry Fox Talbot for his experiments with photography in the 1830s. \""

Trump addressed supporters in New York early Wednesday after he was elected president in a stunning upset against Hillary Clinton. Nov. 9, 2016 Image by Eric Thayer for The New York Times By Matt Flegenheimer and Michael Barbaro Nov. 9, 2016Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday in a stunning culmination of an explosive, populist and polarizing campaign that took relentless aim at the institutions and long-held ideals of American democracy. The surprise outcome, defying late polls that showed Hillary Clinton with a modest but persistent edge, threatened convulsions throughout the country and the world, where skeptics had watched with alarm as Mr. Trump’s unvarnished overtures to disillusioned voters took hold. The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70, a real estate developer-turned-reality television star with no government experience, was a powerful rejection of the establishment forces that had assembled against him, from the world of business to government, and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration. Advertisement The results amounted to a repudiation, not only of Mrs. Clinton, but of President Obama, whose legacy is suddenly imperiled. And it was a decisive demonstration of power by a largely overlooked coalition of mostly blue-collar white and working-class voters who felt that the promise of the United States had slipped their grasp amid decades of globalization and multiculturalism. Looking Back on Donald J. Trump’s Campaign11 Photos View Slide Show >Todd Heisler/The New York Times In Mr. Trump, a thrice-married Manhattanite who lives in a marble-wrapped three-story penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue, they found an improbable champion. “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer,” Mr. Trump told supporters around 3 a.m. on Wednesday at a rally in New York City, just after Mrs. Clinton called to concede. In a departure from a blistering campaign in which he repeatedly stoked division, Mr. Trump sought to do something he had conspicuously avoided as a candidate: Appeal for unity. “Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division,” he said. “"

Maps attributed to the 13th-century traveler sketch what looks like the coast of Alaska“Map with Ship” has the informality of a “napkin sketch on vellum,” says map expert John Hessler, suggesting its maker was not a trained cartographer. ( Library of Congress, Geography & Map Division)By Ariel Sabar Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe October 2014For a guy who claimed to spend 17 years in China as a confidant of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo left a surprisingly skimpy paper trail. No Asian sources mention the footloose Italian. The only record of his 13th-century odyssey through the Far East is the hot air of his own Travels, which was actually an “as told to” penned by a writer of romances. But a set of 14 parchments, now collected and exhaustively studied for the first time, give us a raft of new stories about Polo’s journeys and something notably missing from his own account: maps. If genuine, the maps would show that Polo recorded the shape of the Alaskan coast—and the strait separating it from Asia—four centuries before Vitus Bering, the Danish explorer long considered the first European to do so. Perhaps more important, they suggest Polo was aware of the New World two centuries before Columbus. “It would mean that an Italian got knowledge of the west coast of North America or he heard about it from Arabs or Chinese,” says Benjamin B. Olshin, a historian of cartography whose book, The Mysteries of the Marco Polo Maps, is out in November from the University of Chicago Press. “ There’s nothing else that matches that, if that’s true."

The village of Nine Miles is a lot like many of the country areas of Jamaica, where the people work the land for their living, so from an early age Bob learned the values of nature, and a respect for the simple things in life that he would carry with him throughout his time here on earth. Captain Norval Marley, (Bobs father) was an English man who worked as a quartermaster attached to the British West Indian Regiment, his job involved riding around on horseback as an overseer of crowns \"\"contingent lands\"\" in the districts around Roden Hall. Although Noval was almost 50 years old and Cedella was just turning 18 they became lovers. When Cedella told Norval she was pregnant by him the two married and Norval promised to take care of the child. But the day after they wed Norval left for a new job in Kingston. Norval visited Cedella twice while she was pregnant and once more shortly after Cedella give birth. He had told Cedella that his mother in Kingston was mad at him when she heard that he had gotten a young black country girl pregnant and had married her, so much so that she disinherited him; \"\"His whole family where very against him, because of me.\"\" says Cedella."

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Awards Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe. Marley 's music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not only through the music of his extended family but also through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius. Robert Nesta Marley was born February 6, 1945, in rural St. Ann's Parish, Jamaica; the son of a middle-aged white father and teenaged black mother, he left home at 14 to pursue a music career in Kingston, becoming a pupil of local singer and devout Rastafarian Joe Higgs. He cut his first single, \"\"Judge Not,\"\" in 1962 for Leslie Kong, severing ties with the famed producer soon after over a monetary dispute. In 1963 Marley teamed with fellow singers Peter Tosh, Bunny Livingston, Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, and Cherry Smith to form the vocal group the Teenagers; later rechristened the Wailing Rudeboys and later simply the Wailers, they signed on with producer Coxsone Dodd 's legendary Studio One and recorded their debut, \"\"I'm Still Waiting.\"\" When Braithwaite and Smith exited the Wailers, Marley assumed lead vocal duties, and in early 1964 the group's follow-up, \"\"Simmer Down,\"\" topped the Jamaican charts. A series of singles including \"\"Let Him Go (Rude Boy Get Gail),\"\" \"\"Dancing Shoes,\"\" \"\"Jerk in Time,\"\" \"\"Who Feels It Knows It,\"\" and \"\"What Am I to Do\"\" followed, and in all, the Wailers recorded some 70 tracks for Dodd before disbanding in 1966. On February 10 of that year, Marley married Rita Anderson, a singer in the group the Soulettes; she later enjoyed success as a member of the vocal trio the I-Threes."

Photograph: Denis O’Regan/Getty Images“M e no really say no bad things about no one, cause me have a full heart,” Bob Marley once told me. “ That is a sign of being an ignorant and undisciplined human being. Me prefer just to understand the situation and suss it out and say what is right and what is wrong. ”Confident in taking a stand, Bob Marley was not afraid to sing with moral authority. As events echoing the struggles he took part in and sang about take place around the world, I often find myself wondering: what would Bob have made of this if he were alive to celebrate his 70th birthday? What songs might he have written? Except that, usually, he already has. As the repeated cop killings of black males across US prompt multiracial “Black Lives Matter” demonstrations, there’s No Woman, No Cry and Johnny Was a Good Man; when brutality cloaked as religious extremism strikes terror, Bob sings, in We and Dem: “ Me no know how we and them gonna work it out .”"

"text": "\"Harry Liang Updated Jul 12, 2016Although MJ is more influential to the world of entertainment, Bob Marley went beyond music and entertainment with a message of peace, love and unity. Bob Marley used music as a tool for social justice and spirituality. If you read about who he is, the lyrics he wrote and what he did for Africa it goes much deeper. He wrote much more and is considered by many to be a religious saint. Once he was shot for his beliefs but he still performed the next day to bring warring politicians together for peace. He gave a voice for the third world’s suffering and saw himself as a revolutionary. He helped liberate Zimbabwe. He fed thousands of people in his country. Bob was more like a Gandhi figure than an entertainment figure like Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson. Even Obama cites Bob Marley as an influence."

"text": "\"The History of : Blues | Country | Folk Music | Heavy Metal | Hip Hop | Jazz | Punk | Reggae | Rock n' Roll | Rockabilly Piano | Guitar | Microphone | Drum Reggae Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady. Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by regular beats on the off-beat, known as the skank. Reggae is normally slower than ska, and usually has accents on the first and third beat in each bar. Reggae song lyrics deal with many subjects, including religion, love, sexuality, peace, relationships, poverty, injustice and other social and political issues. The word reggae as a musical term first appeared in print with the 1968 rocksteady hit \"\"Do the Reggay\"\" by The Maytals, but it was already being used in Kingston, Jamaica as the name of a slower dance and style of rocksteady. As Reggae artist Derrick Morgan stated: \"\"We didn't like the name rock steady, so I tried a different version of 'Fat Man'. It changed the beat again, it used the organ to creep. Bunny Lee, the producer, liked that. He created the sound with the organ and the rhythm guitar."

"text": "I had a conversation with a couple of people the other day about the importance of Tupac. Somebody told me that Tupac wasn’t one of the most globally known, or internationally recognized Black people ever. Another person said that his music wasn’t politically or socially relevant; that he wasn’t as important to Black music as Bob Marley. All of this is just a couple of weeks after Blender Magazine said Pac was the most overrated musician of all-time. So is the world coming to the end? Was Tupac really not that important, then and now? Tupac was the most important Hip-Hop artist ever. He was important not just for what he did, but for what he said. Whether it is twelve years after he pasted away, or seven days after the anniversary of his death, we must never forget what Pac contributed to the world in his short time here. With the amount of books, documentaries, and articles produced on Tupac’s life, I never thought I’d be put in a position to have to defend Pac’s importance to Black people."

When I posted this article, I was smoking a big fat joint thinking of the great Bob, and I looked out of my window and this large cloud formation that looks a lot like Bob was smoking a joint with me. Hi Bob! U rock!Rastafari : Robert Marley may be deemed as the most popular Rastafarian reggae music artist to be assassinated by the Babylonian system. This is a pretty strong allegation. One thing I have learnt from studying statistics and probability is how to spot patterns. It is so easy; you could write a computer program to spot patterns for you. It is an obvious trend that when Rastafarian music artists decide to take the message of love to an evangelical level, they always end up in dangerous situations. Soul Music Assasinations It is similar how Rhythm and Blues (Soul) singers always ending up overdosing on the same type of drugs yet no one makes mention of this trend. It has been happening from the days of Elvis Presley to those of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Whitney."

"text": "\"Answer by Zooeyhall Confidence votes 180There are many reasons why Germany lost World War One. One major reason was because of the British Blockade of German Ships. The British Navy controlled the North Sea with their Dreadnoughts, although there was very little sea-bourn fighting. There was one major battle for the sea, though. It was the battle of Jutland, which was the most decisive sea battle. Even though the Germans sunk more allied ships than the Allies against them, the German navy was still pushed back into port. The advancing technology, especially in weapons like mines and depth charges became invaluable to the British Navy to battle Submarines, and to keep the German Navy at bay. The British Blockade of Germany was one reason, why so many German prisoners were taken. They were hungry and fed up of the war. Back home in Germany, it wasn't much different."

"text": "Full Answer Economic Reasons There were many American businessmen who supported American intervention in the war to further their economic interests. They supported the war efforts of the French and British by providing billions of dollars in loans and bonds. Therefore, many powerful businessmen, such as J. P. Morgan, supported the war and campaigned for the U. S. to enter it and fight alongside the Allied forces. German Attacks on American Ships U. S. President Woodrow Wilson initially sought to remain neutral when World War I began in 1914. However, when Germany created a naval blockade of England, friction with Germany intensified and hindered England's trade with the U. S. By 1915, Germany announced that it would attack any ships trying to run the blockade. In early 1915, Germany sank the William P. Frye, which was a private U. S. ship. Germany later apologized and called the sinking a mistake. Hoping to end the war sooner, Germany reneged on its pledge by February 1917 and resumed attacks on shipping vessels. Shortly afterward, an American ship, the Housatonic, was torpedoed and sank by a German U-boat. By this time, the U. S. Congress passed a bill for $250 million in armaments to prepare the country for war."

( Their article appears in PNAS .) Despite the different reasons for sinking, the tales of the two ships carry some remarkable similarities: Both ships carried a similar composition of passengers and were unable to accommodate everyone aboard on the lifeboats. ( In the case of the Titanic there simply were not enough boats for everyone. On the Lusitania, the ship listed to starboard after being struck by the torpedo and the crew was unable to launch all of the lifeboats.) Both captains ordered that women and children be given first priority on the boats. And both ships had a similar survival rate. The composition of the survivors was very different, though. On the Titanic, women aged 16 to 35 (child-bearing age) were more likely to survive than other age groups, as were children and people with children."

Also it seems that Britain and France are on their last legs and are about to collapse. Also with the Russian exit from the war it frees up more German troops to attack the French and British 900,000 German troops to be exact. Also if Germany wins it would threaten America and its the American interests in Europe.

The Lusitania sailed on May 1st 1915 from New York bound for Liverpool. The sinking of the Lusitania was thought to have made a major impact on America and World War One, but America did not join the war for another two years. A survivor’s sketch of the Lusitania sinking As the Lusitania had sailed from New York, she had on board American civilians and in 1915 America was neutral in World War One. As she left New York, the dock was crowded with news reporters as New York newspapers had carried an advert in them paid for by the German Embassy that any ship that sailed into the “European War Zone” was a potential target for German submarines. Some newspapers printed the warning directly next to Cunard’s list of departure dates. Regardless of this, the Cunard liner was packed with passengers. Many had received an anonymous telegram advising them not to travel but the ship was billed by Cunard as the “fastest and largest steamer now in the Atlantic service” and it was generally believed that the Lusitania had the power to outpace any ship above or below the water."

Definition Have your friends or family ever gotten into a dispute and tried to drag you into it? No matter how much you might resist getting involved, some event always happens to get you involved in the drama. This same situation can be said of the United States during World War I, also called the Great War. The two sides of the war, the Allied Powers and the Central Powers, each wanted the United States to get involved on their respective side. The United States tried to stay out of the dispute, but eventually got drawn in partly by the sinking of the Lusitania. The Lusitania was at one time considered the world's largest passenger ship, and it transported passengers between Great Britain and New York routinely. On May 7th, 1915, the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine, called a U-Boat, off the coast of Ireland."

"text": "\"The Lusitania Resource > RMS Lusitania RMS Lusitania RMS Lusitania was an ocean liner operated by the Cunard Company that served the Liverpool, England - New York City, United States route on the North Atlantic. The ship was designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown and Company of Clydebank, Scotland. The ship was named after the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, which is now part of present-day Portugal and western Spain. Lusitania was launched on 7 June 1906 and entered service for Cunard on 26 August 1907. When she entered service, Lusitania set the records for the largest and fastest ship afloat, taking these records from the ships of the United Kingdom's naval rival, Germany. Lusitania maintained these records until the entry of her twin sister Mauretania into the North Atlantic run. Lusitania, Mauretania, and slower but larger Aquitania provided a weekly passenger service for the Cunard Line just prior to the First World War. During World War I, Germany waged submarine warfare against the United Kingdom. Lusitania, which had been built with the capability of being converted into a warship, was identified as a target. The German submarine U-20 torpedoed and sank her on 7 May 1915; this was early in the war before tactics for evading submarines were fully developed."

Located to the west of the West Side Highway ( Eleventh Avenue) and Hudson River Park and to the east of the Hudson River, they were originally a passenger ship terminal in the early 1900s that was used by the RMS Lusitania and was the destination of the RMS Titanic. The piers replaced a hodgepodge of run-down waterfront structures with a row of grand buildings embellished with pink granite facades. [ 1]The piers are currently used by the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex. The complex includes film and television production facilities, including those for NBC Universal ( Law & Order: SVU, The Blacklist ), a health club and spa/salon, the city's largest training center for gymnastics, two basketball courts, playing fields for indoor soccer, batting cages, a rock climbing wall, and dance studios. In addition there is a bowling center, a golf club with multi-story driving range, and two full sized ice rinks for skating. Sky Rink has the only year-round ice skating rinks in Manhattan. The complex also includes a marina for mooring private boats and four dedicated event spaces: Pier 60, The Lighthouse and Current, all operated by Abigail Kirsch Catering, and Sunset Terrace at Pier 61. On July 12, 2012, Chelsea Piers Connecticut opened in Stamford, Connecticut, offering a wide range of sports venues, including indoor fields, basketball and volleyball courts, twin ice rinks, an Olympic pool, a health club, tennis courts, squash courts and more."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from United states in world war 1)navigation search Two American soldiers run towards a bunker. The United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917 and ended November 11, 1918 during World War I. The U. S. was an independent power and did not officially join the Allies. It closely cooperated with the Allies militarily but acted alone in diplomacy. The U. S. made its major contributions in terms of supplies, raw material and money, starting in 1917. American soldiers under General John Pershing, Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), arrived in large numbers on the Western Front in the summer of 1918. Before entering the war, the U. S. had remained neutral, though it had been an important supplier to Great Britain and the other Allied powers. During the war the U. S. mobilized over 4 million military personnel and suffered 110,000 deaths, including around 45,000 who died due to the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak (30,000 before they even reached France). [ 1] [2] The war saw a dramatic expansion of the United States government in an effort to harness the war effort and a significant increase in the size of the U. S. Armed Forces. After a relatively slow start in mobilizing the economy and labor force, by spring 1918, the nation was poised to play a role in the conflict. Under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson, the war represented the climax of the Progressive Era as it sought to bring reform and democracy to the world, although there was substantial public opposition to U. S. entry into the war."

Answers1) Q What weapons were use in World War 1? ARifles, artillery, machine guns, aircraft ships, submarines, poison gas, tanks, armored cars, grenades and mortars were all used during World War 1. The Americans used the shotgun during the war, which they used to great effect at clearing the enemy trenches of German soldiers. This provoked a horrified reaction from the German government, as wounds from shotgun hits were difficult to treat. As I'm sure you know, the shots spread out and hit the victim in many different places, which would lead to a long and painful death. The Germans called on the use of shotguns in warfare to be banned. Aircrafts made their first appearance as weapons in WWI. Germany used Zeppelins a type of aircraft, submarines U-Boats, and tanks. Mustard gas along with other chemicals were used this is the first appearance of chemical warfare."

Simple, right? Or easier said than done? We know as well as you do that many of us don't always use a solid case to store our prescription glasses, That being the case, here are some lens care maintenance tips that are convenient as well as useful in taking care of your glasses and sunglasses for a long time to come. Lens Cleaning And Protecting Your Eyeglasses. To wash your prescription eyeglass lenses, eyecare professionals suggest you gently rub your lenses clean with your fingers using warm, soapy water. Rinse the lenses and then pat them dry with a clean, soft cloth. Many optical suppliers sell ultra-fine, machine-washable microfiber lens cleaning cloths that trap dirt and dust. So try to avoid rubbing prescription lenses with rags, facial tissues or paper towels or your tie or scarf as all of these can scratch your lenses. Also, avoid using household cleaners, acetone or soaps with cream—as chemicals may damage your frames, your lenses, lens treatments and coatings."

Although any lens material will scratch over time depending on what they're exposed to and what accidents may occur here are some cleaning tips that will help in keeping your lenses scratch free as long as possible. Dust and dirt particles WILL accumulate on your glasses over time. Facial oils and the environment around you apply a sticky layer of substance to the glasses that quickly attracts dust and dirt particles. These particles get transferred to the lenses when wiping them regardless of how soft or clean the cloth is. The particles get trapped in various places on your glasses which include the groove between the frame and lens, around the nose pad area and generally any area that isn't reached during normal cleaning with a lens cleaning spray and cloth. Here are three effective cleaning procedures that should all be used to extend the length of time your lenses stay scratch free. Spray Cleaning Purchase an eyeglass spray cleaner and microfiber cleaning cloth from any local store that sells eyeglass cleaning products. This cleaning method is recommended to remove minor smudges and fingerprints and helps prevent facial oils and substances in the environment from accumulating on your lenses."

But, for those of you not on the Twitter and the Instagram: In late summer, I lost a third of my wardrobe, a third of my yarn stash, and a sizable portion of both my fabric and felt collections to the dreaded clothes moth. Around my craft studio, this horrifying incident is referred to, in appropriately hushed and reverent tones, as either Moth Hell or The Mothing. And, in sharing my story (spoiler: I defeat the moths and emerge victorious), it is my hope that I can help save other crafters from the same terrible fate. OMG, MOTHS! At first, I was deeply embarrassed. And I must not be alone in that initial reaction, because, bouncing around the crafty/home-related internet, there’s tons of information about how to protect your fiber and fabric from an infestation, and even what to do after you’ve seen your first moth, but there’s precious little reliable information about how to actually save your stuff when a full-blow infestation is already underway. This lack of visible online guidance and commiseration made me feel alone and ashamed. But, then I looked around at my clean apartment and organized workspace (that was still, nonetheless, infested with clothes moths), talked to fellow crafty friends who whispered about their own past infestations, and I got the hell over it. Because, you know what?"

I’m going to try to keep this as simple and general as possible so that it applies to cleaners from laundry detergents to baby shampoo. You can also look up the Soap and Detergent Association’s online info to see what they have to say. Remember, these folks are marketers for their industry and though their information is accurate, it may not be complete. The FDA has a definition to distinguish soaps and detergents for the purpose of applying regulations. It gives special treatment to alkali salts of fatty acids. In fact, soap is just a very unspecial form of detergent. 100 years ago there was no such thing as detergent but almost every cleaning aid we had, especially everything called soap, is now under the definition of detergent. When someone says a cleaning product is a “Soap - Not a Detergent” or it is a “Non-Detergent” they are just marketing statements. A detergent is anything that grabs onto dirt, soil, grease, oil, odor, etc."

"text": "\"Share this page CLEANING COSMOLINE FROM YOUR SKSBy Galahad, of SKSboards The most important task relative to Cosmoline cleaning is to memorize and then continue to repeat to yourself, \"\"Cosmoline is my friend\"\", remembering that this substance is why your new rifle is not a pile of rust and rotted wood. Then, equally important, is to adopt the concept of �reversing the cosmoline application process. If you have any desire to put the military surplus rifle back into the exact condition it was in before being dipped in hot cosmoline you will avoid harsh chemicals and water. NEITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE APPROPRIATE. What is appropriate is the slow and consistent application of the same level of heat that was used to melt the cosmoline into the wood in the first place. Cosmoline can be dipped or brushed onto the firearm at temperatures between 140 and 160 degrees F. While it can be dipped into hotter melts it�s not necessary and is done, generally, to allow more firearms to be dipped without cooling the liquid. So, keep in mind that cosmoline melts at about 130 degrees F and the temperature that�s the best, the most gentle, and the least invasive to remove it is about 150 degrees F. Resist the urge to use higher temperatures as you want to melt the stuff not cook it. If you cook it you run the risk of leaving cooking the oils out, leaving a crusty residue. Cosmoline is much like Vaseline, both are petroleum-based products, and both are non-toxic (unless consumed). There are many, many simple solvents that will help you in your efforts but I believe that the two friendliest are mineral spirits (paint thinner) and aerosol brake cleaner."

This means that you as a cosmetic formulator you are going to have to figure out a way to control the viscosity (or thickness) of your products. There are a number of ingredients that are used for this purpose. Each kind has applications to different formulation types. Here is a basic introduction. Lipid Thickeners Lipid thickeners are primarily composed of lipophillic materials. They work by imparting their natural thickness to the formula. Typically, these materials are solids at room temperature but are liquified via heat and incorporated into emulsions. They are used most often in creams and lotions.

"text": "How to Make Homemade Eyeglasses Cleaner When you wear glasses, it's important to clean them often. Store-bought eyeglass cleaner can be expensive; so many people look into making their own. There are different ways to make homemade eyeglass cleaner for a lot less than what you would pay in a store. Soapy Water Mixture An easy way to clean your eyeglasses is to start with a medium-sized bowl of warm water. Add just a couple of drops of any type of liquid dish washing detergent to the bowl. Swirl it gently with a spoon. Then, take your eyeglasses by the arms and stir the lenses carefully and slowly through the water. Washing eyeglasses in warm soapy water works the best to rid the lenses of any small and abrasive items that may be on the lenses. After they have been thoroughly washed, a 100% cotton cloth can then be used to completely dry them. Alcohol Mixture A popular recipe for making homemade eyeglasses cleaner includes a mixture of two common household ingredients."

"text": "Home → Electron Structure of Carbon Carbon is an element of second period of periodic table. Its atomic number is 6 and mass number is 12. It is represented as 12 6 C. The ground state electronic configuration of carbon is:6 C (Ground state): 1s 2 2s 2 2p x 1 2p z 0Carbon atom has 4 electrons in its valence shell and, therefore, it can attain a noble gas configuration either by losing or gaining or sharing 4 electrons. But the loss or gain of 4 electrons by the carbon atom to form highly charged C+4 or C-4 ions would require a very large amount of energy which is not ordinarily available during a chemical reaction. Therefore, carbon is unable to form ionic bonds and as such it can participate only in the formation of covalent bonds. The tendency of carbon atom to form covalent bonds only is also justified on the basis of its electronegativity value, which is 2.5. Since the carbon atom lies in group I of the periodic table, its electronegativity is neither very low nor very high. The electronegativities of other elements such as H (2.1), 0 (3.5), N (3.0), Cl (3.0) and S (2.5) which are generally linked with carbon in organic compounds are not very much different from that of carbon. Because of this small electronegativity difference between carbon and the other elements bonded to it, the bonds formed are predominantly covalent. The electronic configuration of carbon suggests that it should be bivalent i.e,, should show a valency of two because of the presence of two half-filled 2p orbitals (i.e., 2px and 2py orbitals) in its valence shell."

Unravel the chemical versatility of carbon, learning about its molecular shape and the four types of bonds it can form. Why Carbon Is An Important Element Hands down, carbon is perhaps one of the most important elements fundamental to living. A highly abundant element found on earth, you can find carbon's presence everywhere. It is located in the compound, chlorophyll, giving plants its green color. It is the building block for numerous organic compounds within our body, such as proteins, DNA, and amino acids (to name a few). Of course, it is also found in numerous simple and complex organic compounds that are synthesized to make so many of the commercial products we use on a daily basis. What contributes to carbon's vast abundance throughout the earth? One reason may stem from the versatility of bonding with carbon."

Bonding can occur between atoms of the same element, or between atoms of different elements. There are several types of chemical bonding which have different properties and give rise to different structures. Ionic bonding occurs between positive and negative ions (charged atoms). This type of bonding seldom occurs between just two atoms, but typically leads to the formation of an ionic solid, in which the ions arrange themselves into a rigid crystal lattice. Na Cl (common salt) is an example of an ionic substance. Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share electrons with each other. This gives rise to two types of structures: molecules and covalent network solids. Methane (CH 4) is a covalent molecule and glass is a covalent network solid. In molecules we can distinguish individual covalent bonds between pairs of atoms."

"text": "COVALENT BONDS1) Covalent bonds are formed between atoms through simultaneous ‘sharing’ of electrons. 2) More than one pair of electrons can be shared between atoms to form double or triple covalent bonds. Unlike ionic bonds, covalent bonds are often formed between atoms where one of the atoms cannot easily attain a noble gas electron shell configuration through the loss or gain of one or two electrons. In such cases, it is easier to ‘share’ valence electrons. Electron ‘sharing’ occurs when the electrons in the outermost electron shell, or valence shell electrons, from one atom can be used to complete the outermost electron shell of another atom without being permanently transferred, as occurs in the formation of an ion. Electrons can only be so far from an atom before they are no longer associated with it; therefore, sharing electrons and forming covalent bonds restricts the maximum distance between two bonded atoms. A complete outermost electron shell is the most stable state. Therefore atoms that bond covalently share their electrons to complete their valence shell. Let’s first use the example of Hydrogen (H). Hydrogen has one electron and requires one additional electron to have the same valence shell configuration as the noble gas Helium (He)."

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."

Two of the contributing structures of nitrogen dioxide In chemistry, resonance or mesomerism [1] is a way of describing delocalized electrons within certain molecules or polyatomic ions where the bonding cannot be expressed by one single Lewis structure. A molecule or ion with such delocalized electrons is represented by several contributing structures [2] (also called resonance structures or canonical structures ). Each contributing structure can be represented by a Lewis structure, with only an integer number of covalent bonds between each pair of atoms within the structure. [ 3] Several Lewis structures are used collectively to describe the actual molecular structure, which is an approximate intermediate between the canonical forms called a resonance hybrid. [ 4] Contributing structures differ only in the position of electrons, not in the position of nuclei. Electron delocalization lowers the potential energy of the substance and thus makes it more stable than any of the contributing structures. The difference between the potential energy of the actual structure and that of the contributing structure with the lowest potential energy is called the resonance energy [5] or delocalization energy. Resonance is distinguished from isomerization. An isomer is a molecule with the same chemical formula but with different arrangements of atoms in space."

Ball9.1 Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams Learning Objective Draw a Lewis electron dot diagram for an atom or a monatomic ion. In almost all cases, chemical bonds are formed by interactions of valence electrons in atoms. To facilitate our understanding of how valence electrons interact, a simple way of representing those valence electrons would be useful. A Lewis electron dot diagram (or electron dot diagram or a Lewis diagram or a Lewis structure) is a representation of the valence electrons of an atom that uses dots around the symbol of the element. The number of dots equals the number of valence electrons in the atom. These dots are arranged to the right and left and above and below the symbol, with no more than two dots on a side. ( It does not matter what order the positions are used.) For example, the Lewis electron dot diagram for hydrogen is simply Because the side is not important, the Lewis electron dot diagram could also be drawn as follows: The electron dot diagram for helium, with two valence electrons, is as follows: By putting the two electrons together on the same side, we emphasize the fact that these two electrons are both in the 1 s subshell; this is the common convention we will adopt, although there will be exceptions later.

Arsenic (As) is an element, which means that it is a chemical that can’t be broken down into simpler chemicals (so it is not a compound or molecule that is made up of other elements). Elements in the same column usually have similar properties, so arsenic has similarities to phosphorus (P), which is a part of the DNA molecules (see below) that make up your genes – that similarity might explain how it is taken up by cells. Arsenic can hitch a ride in the cell’s transporter system for P. Arsenic has an atomic number of 33. That means it has 33 protons in its nucleus and 33 electrons buzzing around the nucleus, when it is uncharged. The picture shows a model of the DNA molecule. The orange blobs are the phosphorus atoms that link the nucleotides (individual DNA molecules) together in a long chain. In this model, two chains stick together to form a double helix.

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."

Joshua Siktar's files Science Chemistry Chemical Bonding and Structure Lewis Structures Octet Rule Introduction In chemical bonding, there are some trends that apply to the majority of chemical compounds. One of these is known as the Octet Rule. This rule states that an atom will always attempt to have a full set of eight valence electrons by bonding with other atoms either covalently or ionically. The way that the Octet Rule works varies for different types of compounds, so in this article we will explore the different possibilities in an organized fashion. Overall, the Octet Rule is one of the most important fundamentals of chemical bonding. General Trends The amount of electrons an element will tend to gain or lose depends on the number of electrons in the atom's valence shell. An atom will always try to ionize to its stable state with the transfer of the fewest electrons possible. Example 1: A fluorine atom can get a full valence shell by either gaining one more electron, or by losing seven electrons. The former requires the transfer of less electrons, so the fluorine atom will try to gain one electron first."

But do atoms ever actually touch one another? Most physicists would say no, because the negatively charged electrons in their valence shells repel one another. No force within the human body—or anywhere in the natural world—is strong enough to overcome this electrical repulsion. So when you read about atoms linking together or colliding, bear in mind that the atoms are not merging in a physical sense. Instead, atoms link by forming a chemical bond. A bond is a weak or strong electrical attraction that holds atoms in the same vicinity. The new grouping is typically more stable—less likely to react again—than its component atoms were when they were separate. A more or less stable grouping of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds is called a molecule."

That is to say, its electronegativity is somewhere in the middle in the periodic table. Instead, it is more energetically favorable to share the electrons between the atoms. As to why carbon forms four bonds instead of some other number of bonds, the simplest way to understand is to look at the valence electrons. Because carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell (and because each covalent bond requires a donation of 1 electron, per atom, to the bond) carbon has exactly four bonds to make, and is only stable if all 4 of these bonds are used. This same rule applies to all of the atoms in the second row of the periodic table. There is a slightly deeper explanation of this phenomena having to do with orbital hybridization in bonding, but the underlying ideas are the same. To explain it this way we first need a slight detour into atomic orbitals. 20th century physicists discovered physical limitations on measurement accuracy. As it relates to chemistry, it is physically impossible to know exactly the position and velocity of an electron."

This is a period of up to two weeks or so. The height of the \"\"common cold contagious period\"\" is when symptoms are at their worst -- usually around day 2 to day 4 of the cold. An Overview of the Common Cold Contagious Period Many people wonder, \"\"How long is the common cold contagious?\"\" \"\" Is it okay to send my sick child to school?\"\" \"\" Am I going to catch my friend's cold?\"\" The answers to these questions begin by understanding a couple of things. First, scientists involved with common cold research do not know exactly how long a person with a cold is contagious. Based on previous studies, their best guess is that a person becomes contagious about two to three days before developing the usual symptoms of a cold. Second, this contagious period can last until the person no longer shows any symptoms."

The infectious period associated with each illness can differ dramatically, from 24 to 48 hours to several days or weeks depending on the cause. For flu-like symptoms 24 to 48 hours is ideal, but for something like Salmonella infection you can shed the bacteria (aka still infectious) for over a week after being ill with it.permalink embed save [–] deoxyrna 186 points 4 years ago Very true. Another example, HIV when you first get it will cause high fevers for a couple days in the first 1-2 weeks."

Emesis is the medical term for vomiting. Vomiting is the forcible emptying of the stomach in which the stomach has to overcome the pressures that are normally in place to keep food and secretions within the stomach. Causes of vomiting are varied and include food-borne illnesses ( food poisoning ), infections, problems with the brain and central nervous system, and systemic (body-wide) diseases. Some illnesses will cause nausea and vomiting, even though there is no direct involvement of the stomach or gastrointestinal tract. Examples can include pneumonia, heart attack, and sepsis. Vomiting may be a side effect of medications, including drugs used in cancer chemotherapy, as well as a side effect of radiation therapy. REFERENCE: Kasper, D. L., et al., eds.

Acute bronchitis is contagious and if someone around you has it, then you might be the next person to catch it, like Pokémon ball. Everyday items and interactions may make you susceptible to acute bronchitis. Items like door handles, ATM machine buttons, computer keyboards, remote controls, phone booth phones can have traces of the virus which you can easily contract. On other times, an infected person in your vicinity may sneeze or cough on your face, transferring their disease. But, you should not panic, have your hands washed frequently and see a doctor if you feel ill. To be more precise, only acute Bronchitis is contagious while chronic Bronchitis has other ways to twirl you than being contagious. What Is Bronchitis?

"text": "A cold is an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus called rhinovirus. The common cold incubation period varies greatly from one person to the next. Symptoms can appear in just a few hours or as long as 10 days after exposure. The average incubation period is one to three days. Medications do not affect the incubation of a cold, nor do they eradicate it unless it is accompanied by a bacterial infection. Scientists believe that more than 100 rhinovirus variations are present in human populations. Some place estimates at more than 200 virus types. The most common is the corona virus, although adenoviruses, echoviruses, enteroviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses are also common. Each of these viruses causes different symptoms and infection severity, and they require different incubation periods. The breadth of virus types makes it difficult to pinpoint an exact common cold incubation period."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases Infectious Diseases Cold and Flu When does a cold stop being contagious? Flag When does a cold stop being contagious? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. According to the article linked in the related links section below: A cold is contagious for at least a day before you come down with the symptoms. During that time you may be transmitting the cold virus to all of your buddies and co-workers even when you're feeling fine. Once you come down with the symptoms, a cold is contagious until the last of your symptoms go away. However, the author points out that the virus is most contagious when viral levels in your body are highest, so it is highly contagious before symptoms appear or when they first start appearing, but much less contagious 3-4 days after the first appearance of symptoms, as your immune system will have killed off most of the virus by then. The author recommends, If you're considering calling in to work, it's a good idea for at least the first three to four days when a cold is most contagious. If you're still sniffling and coughing at the end of that time period, you'll likely still be somewhat contagious, but less so. If you go to work, it's important to use a tissue to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and avoid contact with others as much as possible."

In songs and community talk, he was elevated as a kind of noble outlaw that robbed the rich and respected the poor. The child of two ex-Convicts, Ben was born in February 1837. When he was growing up, Ben tried hard to be a good citizen. He became known as an honest and a generous soul who would always help a neighbour in need. At the age of 19, he married Biddy Walsh and devoted his energies to becoming a hardworking stockman and later, a respectable land owner. Unfortunately, his desire to be a good citizen led to his world falling apart. In 1861, he let police stay overnight at his house while they were hunting the bushranger Frank Gardiner. One of the men, James Taylor,used the opportunity to sweet talk his wife and finally persuaded her that her life was with him, and not with Ben. Two months later, Ben was arrested as a suspect in a gold robbery and held in gaol for a month."

Which puts him three short of his goal. At his appearance in London to promote the American version of football, Roethlisberger said his goal is to have the most Super Bowl rings of any starting quarterback in Steelers history. Which would also mean he’d have the most Super Bowl rings of any starting quarterback in NFL history, as Steelers Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw and 49ers Hall of Famer Joe Montana share the current record with four. “I want to pass Terry Bradshaw by getting more Super Bowl wins. That’s our expectations in Pittsburgh,” Roethlisberger said, via Steelers PR man Burt Lauten. Roethlisberger also made clear that he wants to win all of those Super Bowls in Pittsburgh. “There is no other franchise I would rather play for than the Pittsburgh Steelers,” he said. Realistically, the odds are against the 31-year-old Roethlisberger winning three more Super Bowls, in Pittsburgh or anywhere else. For that matter, the odds would be against any NFL player winning three more Super Bowls."

During the twenty one mile journey to New Norfolk, I had the company of a ghost - one Denis Mc Carty. To you who follow me along this road, the first made in Tasmania, I present this Irish ghost-exconvict, constable, farmer and grazier, roadmaker, Deputy Provost Marshal and much more. Four miles beyond Granton stood a derelict grey stone house, known to all and sundry as \"\"The Haunted House\"\". No one. can tell why it received its name, though it is popularly (and wrongly) supposed to have been the country seat of early governors. The haunted house was originally the Golden Fleece Inn, licensed on 22 October 1824 to one Henry Fitzgerald. It did not long cater for travellers and in 1837 it was on the market. As no theory regarding the haunting has been put forward I am not likely to be contradicted when I say that I am convinced that Irish Denis who built this road and eventually met his death in a mysterious manner, afterwards made it his ghostly headquarters. My assertion is that Denis, after all his troubles in constructing the road, drinking his share of the 500 gallons of rum that were to be part payment, and then dying whilst his claims for final settlement were being considered by Sorell and Macquarie, perambulates this unpaid for road, and, when he finds it necessary to take shelter, rests in the old Golden Fleece, or Addington Lodge Villa as it was also at one time called, Tasmania's very first road, and the first to have a coach on it!"

Graduates were accepted into colleges as sophomores or juniors. Operation of the academy was overseen by a board of trustees until 1909, when control was passed to the Augusta Board of Education. The college-level classes continued to be overseen by a committee of the state legislature. As enrollment increased, land for a new building was purchased. In 1925, prior to completion of the new building, the Junior College of Augusta was established.

( Image: © Tim Mosenfelder/Corbis)Most musicians hate being defined by labels and genres, but let's face it: without them, discovering new music that we actually like would be a long and very slow process. God knows how many tracks are released each week, but imagine having to wade through every one of them trying to find something that suits your tastes, without these helpful (if often overly simplistic) categorisations to narrow things down. The main problem seems to be that all those labels, genres and categories have an innate imprecision - a sort of aesthetic flexibility that allows them to be shrunk, stretched and twisted to fit each listener's personal taste.

Graham 's Hierarchy of Disagreement lists ad hominem as the second lowest type of argument in a disagreement. Ad hominem ( Latin for \"\"to the man\"\" or \"\"to the person\"\" [1] ), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. [ 2]However, its original meaning was an argument \"\"calculated to appeal to the person addressed more than to impartial reason\"\". [ 3]Fallacious ad hominem reasoning is categorized as an informal fallacy, [4] [5] [6] more precisely as a genetic fallacy, a subcategory of fallacies of irrelevance.

In particular, if Source A criticizes the actions of Source B, a tu quoque response is that Source A has acted in the same way. This argument is false because it does not disprove the premise; if the premise is true then Source A may be a hypocrite, but this does not make the statement less credible from a logical perspective. Indeed, Source A may be in a position to provide personal testimony to support the argument."

However, it’s a bit tricky to address both folks who are new to the idea and those who are veterans in the same effort. Let’s give it a try. Click to visit the web site I was first introduced to this educational model when R. C. Sproul recommended I read Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning by Douglas Wilson. This book impresses the reader with both the superiority of the classical model and the necessity of a Christian education for children of Christian parents. It was both convicting and motivating. Calling something superior today is both bold and politically incorrect so an explanation is in order. The term classical when used in education has become quite popular. When an idea becomes popular, many seek to use and even redefine the term to various ends. Consequently, defining the strain of classical education promoted here is necessary."

Understanding fallacies helps us to avoid committing them and to recognize fallacious arguments made by others. Reasoning can be inductive or deductive . Deductive reasoning is what we call \"\"logic\"\" informally. It is a way of thinking mathematically about all kinds of things: Given a set of assumptions (premises), what must then be true? In contrast, inductive reasoning attempts to generalize from experience (data) to new situations: How strong is the evidence that something is true or false about the world? Inductive reasoning is inherently uncertain. Deductive reasoning—if logical—is as certain as mathematics can be. Much of the meat of Statistics, covered in other chapters, concerns inductive reasoning. Exceptional care is needed to draw reliable conclusions by inductive reasoning."

Marinaro has a Ph D in English from the University of Florida and has been teaching English composition and Literature since 2007. This lesson will introduce you to the logical fallacy and explain how it works in an argument. We'll also discuss examples of common fallacies and the importance of identifying and avoiding them in effective arguments. Then test your knowledge with a quiz. What Is a Logical Fallacy? You've probably heard of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist, known as the father of logic. Among his vast contributions to the body of knowledge were in reasoning and fallacies: rhetoric, the study of argument and persuasive strategies, and logical fallacy refers to faulty reasoning or a breakdown in the logic of an argument. As writers, we try to avoid fallacies to prove our arguments; as readers, it's important to be able to identify fallacies to discover whether or not we are being misled or if we cannot trust the information we're receiving. While logical fallacies in arguments are often unintentional, writers can sometimes use them intentionally to mislead or manipulate an audience."

Below is a list of some of the major fallacies. It is a good idea to be familiar with them so you can point them out in a discussion thereby focusing the issues where they belong while exposing error. It is true that during a debate on an issue if you simply point out to your \"\"opponent\"\" a logical fallacy that he/she has just made, it generally gives you the upper hand. But then, merely having the upper hand is not the goal: truth is. Nevertheless, logical fallacies hide the truth; so pointing them out is very useful. Ad Hominem - Attacking the individual instead of the argument. Example : You are so stupid your argument couldn't possibly be true. Example : I figured that you couldn't possibly get it right, so I ignored your comment. Appeal to Force - Telling the hearer that something bad will happen to him if he does not accept the argument."

Horace would play a key role as a manager in a company that provides services to families where children have contracted head lice. The other opportunity would be working in a computer programming job with a company that sells incredibly popular apps for smartphones. All of his friends think he is crazy for considering a role with the head lice company. In fact, no one he knows is supporting his own inclination which is to take the managerial job rather than the programming job.

"text": "\"Fallacies First published Fri May 29, 2015Two competing conceptions of fallacies are that they are false but popular beliefs and that they are deceptively bad arguments. These we may distinguish as the belief and argument conceptions of fallacies. Academic writers who have given the most attention to the subject of fallacies insist on, or at least prefer, the argument conception of fallacies, but the belief conception is prevalent in popular and non-scholarly discourse. As we shall see, there are yet other conceptions of what fallacies are, but the present inquiry focuses on the argument conception of fallacies. Being able to detect and avoid fallacies has been viewed as a supplement to criteria of good reasoning. The knowledge of fallacies is needed to arm us against the most enticing missteps we might take with arguments—so thought not only Aristotle but also the early nineteenth century logicians Richard Whately and John Stuart Mill. But as the course of logical theory from the late nineteenth-century forward turned more and more to axiomatic systems and formal languages, the study of reasoning and natural language argumentation received much less attention, and hence developments in the study of fallacies almost came to a standstill. Until well past the middle of the twentieth century, discussions of fallacies were for the most part relegated to introductory level textbooks. It was only when philosophers realized the ill fit between formal logic, on the one hand, and natural language reasoning and argumentation, on the other, that the interest in fallacies has returned. Since the 1970s the utility of knowing about fallacies has been acknowledged (Johnson and Blair 1993), and the way in which fallacies are incorporated into theories of argumentation has been taken as a sign of a theory’s level of adequacy (Biro and Siegel 2007, van Eemeren 2010)."

"text": "\"Moral Reasoning in Applied Ethicsby Keith Allen Korcz Note: This essay presupposes that you are familiar with philosophical argumentation, as discussed in \"\"What Is Philosophy? \"\", as well as the criteria for NETs and moral principles, as discussed in class. The aim of moral reasoning is to discover moral truths. Morality is the rightness, wrongness or neutrality of actions, persons, events, etc. For example, we might say that a mass murderer is an evil person, or that a hurricane that killed many people was a bad thing, or that a particular action of saving a person's life was morally right. Here, we'll focus on the morality of actions, with the understanding that much of what we say about actions will apply to persons, events, etc. Moral reasoning in applied ethics is a two-step procedure: First, you formulate a moral principle. Second, you apply that principle to the issue at hand. A moral principle, for our purposes here, is a rule which categorizes some, but not all, actions as morally right, wrong and/or neutral. Next, we'll look at each of these steps in some detail.1."

We've talked in depth about what constitutes an argument in What is an Academic Paper? Still, it's worth repeating the fundamental elements of argument here. A good argument will include:a thesis or claim that declares the writer's position on the problem at hand;an acknowledgment of other perspectives;a set of clearly defined premises that illustrate the argument's line of reasoning;evidence that validates the argument's premises;a conclusion that convinces the reader that the argument has been soundly and persuasively made.

An excellent example of how tangled the concepts of \"\"natural\"\" and \"\"non-natural\"\", \"\"desirable\"\" and \"\"undesirable\"\" can become is the heart medication digoxin."

"text": "\"Description of Circumstantial Ad Hominem A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy in which one attempts to attack a claim by asserting that the person making the claim is making it simply out of self interest. In some cases, this fallacy involves substituting an attack on a person's circumstances (such as the person's religion, political affiliation, ethnic background, etc.). The fallacy has the following forms: Person A makes claim X. Person B asserts that A makes claim X because it is in A's interest to claim X. Therefore claim X is false. Person A makes claim X. Person B makes an attack on A's circumstances. Therefore X is false. A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy because a person's interests and circumstances have no bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made. While a person's interests will provide them with motives to support certain claims, the claims stand or fall on their own. It is also the case that a person's circumstances (religion, political affiliation, etc.) do not affect the truth or falsity of the claim. This is made quite clear by the following example: \"\"Bill claims that 1+1=2."

Wilson When arguing with someone in an attempt to get at an answer or an explanation, you may come across a person who makes logical fallacies. Such discussions may prove futile. You might try asking for evidence and independent confirmation or provide other hypotheses that give a better or simpler explanation. If this fails, try to pinpoint the problem of your arguer's position. You might spot the problem of logic that prevents further exploration and attempt to inform your arguer about his fallacy. The following briefly describes some of the most common fallacies:ad hominem: Latin for \"\"to the man.\"\" An arguer who uses ad hominems attacks the person instead of the argument. Whenever an arguer cannot defend his position with evidence, facts or reason, he or she may resort to attacking an opponent either through: labeling, straw man arguments, name calling, offensive remarks and anger.appeal to ignorance ( argumentum ex silentio) appealing to ignorance as evidence for something. ( e.g., We have no evidence that God doesn't exist, therefore, he must exist. Or: Because we have no knowledge of alien visitors, that means they do not exist)."

"text": "\"Logical Fallacies and the Art of Debate Contents: Introduction So why learn logical fallacies at all? Logic as a form of rhetoric Committing your very own logical fallacies The list of fallacies:argumentum ad antiquitatemargumentum ad hominemargumentum ad ignorantiamargumentum ad logicamargumentum ad misericordiamargumentum ad nauseamargumentum ad numerumargumentum ad populumargumentum ad verecundiamcirculus in demonstrandocomplex questiondicto simpliciternaturalistic fallacynature, appeal tonon sequiturpetitio principiipost hoc ergo propter hocred herringslippery slopestraw mantu quoque Introduction This is a guide to using logical fallacies in debate. And when I say \"\"using,\"\" I don't mean just pointing them out when opposing debaters commit them -- I mean deliberately committing them oneself, or finding ways to transform fallacious arguments into perfectly good ones. Debate is, fortunately or not, an exercise in persuasion, wit, and rhetoric, not just logic. In a debate format that limits each debater's speaking time, it is simply not reasonable to expect every proposition or conclusion to follow precisely and rigorously from a clear set of premises stated at the outset. Instead, debaters have to bring together various facts, insights, and values that others share or can be persuaded to accept, and then show that those ideas lead more or less plausibly to a conclusion. Logic is a useful tool in this process, but it is not the only tool -- after all, \"\"plausibility\"\" is a fairly subjective matter that does not follow strict logical rules. Ultimately, the judge in a debate round has to decide which side's position is more plausible in light of the arguments given -- and the judge is required to pick one of those sides, even if logic alone dictates that \"\"we do not know\"\" is the answer to the question at hand. Besides, let's be honest: debate is not just about finding truth, it's also about winning. If you think a fallacious argument can slide by and persuade the judge to vote for you, you're going to make it, right?"

"text": "\"Graham 's Hierarchy of Disagreement lists name calling as the lowest type of argument in a disagreement. Name calling is abusive or insulting language referring to a person or group, a verbal abuse. This phenomenon is studied by a variety of academic disciplines from anthropology, to child psychology, to politics. It is also studied by rhetoricians, and a variety of other disciplines that study propaganda techniques and their causes and effects. The technique is most frequently employed within political discourse and school systems, in an attempt to negatively impact their opponent. Contents [ hide ]1 As a cognitive bias in propaganda2 In politics and public opinion3 Common misconceptions4 References As a cognitive bias in propaganda [ edit]Name calling is a cognitive bias and a technique to promote propaganda. Propagandists use the name-calling technique to incite fears or arouse positive prejudices with the intent that invoked fear (based on fear mongering tactics) or trust will encourage those that read, see or hear propaganda to construct a negative opinion, in respect to the former, or a positive opinion, with respect to the latter, about a person, group, or set of beliefs or ideas that the propagandist would wish the recipients to believe. The method is intended to provoke conclusions and actions about a matter apart from an impartial examinations of the facts of the matter. When this tactic is used instead of an argument, [ citation needed] name-calling is thus a substitute for rational, fact-based arguments against an idea or belief, based upon its own merits, and becomes an argumentum ad hominem. [ 1]In politics and public opinion [ edit]Politicians sometimes resort to “name calling” during political campaigns or public events with the intentions of gaining advantage over, or defending themselves from, an opponent or critic.

"text": "August 31, 2015‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Is On Hiatus For Labor Day, Returns September 13TVRachel Tsoumbakos For fans who were just getting into the routine of watching AMC’s newest zombie apocalypse program, Fear The Walking Dead, the announcement of a one week hiatus is definitely a blow. While AMC will be repeating Episodes 1 and 2 next week, Episode 3 (entitled “The Dog”) will premiere on September 13, 2015. Unfortunately, with Labor day falling next weekend, it appears AMC has decided to put Fear The Walking Dead on hiatus for one week. While this may disappoint the fans, it also means that Fear The Walking Dead will run straight from its Season 1 finale on Sunday October 4 to the Season 6 premiere of its companion series, The Walking Dead on Sunday October 11. However, to keep Walking Dead fans happy, AMC will be replaying Episode 1 (“Pilot”) and Episode 2 (“So Far, Yet So Close”) on repeat from 6 p.m. until Midnight. Then, on September 13, when Episode 3 does premiere, fans will also be able to watch all three episodes in a row starting at 6.30 p.m. At least then, fans will be able to get the “six-hour movie” feel that Fear The Walking Dead’s showrunner, Dave Erickson was aiming for when he spoke to TV Line earlier this year. And, if previous years are anything to go by, when Season 6 of The Walking Dead returns in October, fans will not only have the Walking Dead marathon of Seasons 1 to 5 to enjoy all in one hit, but there will also be Fear The Walking Dead in its entirety as well before the marathon starts which will add a completely different element to the normal schedule. The Synopsis for Episode 3 (“The Dog”) of Fear The Walking Dead is as follows. “After they escape a riot, Travis, Liza and Chris seek refuge with the Salazars; Madison defends her home. ”Fear The Walking Dead is the newest companion series for The Walking Dead and precedes the events in Season 1 of The Walking Dead."

"text": "Entertainment When does Walking Dead Season 6 Premiere?by Josh Hill 2 years ago Follow @jdavhill Tweet Share x Comment The Walking Dead season finale aired tonight, and that means we’re all going to have to wait a while before new episodes of the show return to AMC. Now that the season finale of The Walking Dead has aired, fans of the series are going to have to wait a while before the new episodes of the show return. The big question on the minds of everyone is just how long will we all have to wait before the show returns to AMC with the sixth season of the show? More from Entertainment3/27 - This week on MTV Madness: Here’s who is playing in the championship game3/27 - For the People season 1, episode 3: Watch online3/27 - Riverdale: What to look for in The Noose Tightens3/27 - Roseanne season 10 premiere live stream: Watch online3/27 - Watch Black Lightning episode 10 online, Sins of the Father: The Book of Redemption The length of the wait really depends on who you are. The Walking Dead will premiere in the fall of this year, which means we really only have to wait a handful of months for the show to return. But if you’re a diehard fan who just needs your Walking Dead fix, then even just a week can seem like a lifetime. Thankfully, fans will be able to sink their teeth into Fear The Walking Dead, which will premiere this summer. That’s going to alleviate a lot of the pain in waiting for the new season but that won’t make it get here any faster. It’s going to make the wait seem a little less awful though, as shows like Game of Thrones or True Detective don’t offer their fans any sort of in-between shows like Fear The Walking Dead will present fans of the show. If you’re a fan who just can’t wait for new episodes, then the six month wait is going to be agonizing."

Newly promoted cast members and newly presented residents of Alexandria. More zombies, more flashbacks and backstories, and more villains… maybe even the biggest villain of all time from the comic books. Those are but a few of the things fans have to look forward to when The Walking Dead premieres its sixth season on Oct. 11. Here’s a rundown of everything we know about the season so far, aka all the reasons to expect it’s going to be the best season yet. An Uncivil Civil War in Alexandria? Look at how much Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) — and his hair — have grown! He and papa Rick (Andy Lincoln) are looking pretty peaceful on the front porch of their Alexandria home, but there is a big gun at Rick’s side, and he’s definitely going to be using it early in Season 6.

[ 1] Armed with a katana and harboring a mysterious past, Michonne is introduced clothed under a hood and pulling the shackles of two reanimated corpses for protection and camouflage. The two walkers are subsequently revealed to be her zombified boyfriend and his best friend. In both the comic and TV series, she has a prominent role in the conflict between the town of Woodbury led by The Governor, and the Prison group. The direction of the character is contrasted between the two mediums (though in both mediums, Michonne is introduced as an outsider who quickly proves to be a valuable asset). In the comic, Michonne is a former lawyer as well as a divorcée with two missing daughters. She forms a casual relationship with Tyreese while he is already in a relationship with Carol. Her conflict with The Governor is much more violent in the comics, enduring sexual assault before mutilating him in revenge."

Photo: AMCAt long last, AMC debuted its highly anticipated “The Walking Dead” companion series, “ Fear the Walking Dead .” The prequel show opened strong, laying a lot of ground work and packing some real scares. For those that don’t know, the series takes place within the same universe as “The Walking Dead,” but it’s set in Los Angeles during the days before the first episode of the original series -- while Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is still in a coma, specifically. The series opened with a character named Nick Clark ( Frank Dillane) waking up with a hangover in the middle of an abandoned church. He’s calling out for someone named Gloria who’s nowhere to be found. He lazily stumbles about the building until he finds a fresh dead body with a pretty sizeable chunk ripped out of its neck. Realizing the party is definitely over, he picks up a weapon and checks the next room for Gloria."

And fans that have really enjoyed seeing Negan were concerned that he might die too.

"text": "\"Unparalleled bridge, unprecedented cost By Patricia Decker and Robert Porterfield Mc Sweeney's San Francisco Panorama/SF Public Press— Dec 8 2009 - 1:50pm It’s being built in China. It’s taken twice as long as expected. And it will cost double what you’ve been told. //When completed, the new east span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will be not only the most complex engineering feat in California history, but also the most expensive, with a cost never subjected to public scrutiny. Although today’s price tag stands at $6.3 billion, the figure accounts for only salaries and hard materials—things like concrete and steel and cranes. When all is said and done, the new Bay Bridge will wind up costing tax- and toll-payers more than $12 billion—a figure that leaves even the officials in charge “staggered. ”Much of the difference comes from interest and other financing charges—money that commuters will be paying off until at least 2049. Little attention has been paid to billions of dollars not included in the direct construction cost projections published in glossy public reports. Why the price has skyrocketed is a tale of politics, bureaucratic bumbling, and unforeseen construction problems—all classic ingredients of California public works projects. It is a tale of obscure but powerful agencies, legislative bickering, and four successive governors grappling with a project so massive and complex that one consultant suggested the human mind might be unable to grasp, or accept, “the magnitude of the undertaking and the time and resources required to complete it."

S. state of Pennsylvania. A controlled-access highway, it runs for 360 miles (580 km) across the state. The turnpike begins at the Ohio state line in Lawrence County, where the road continues west into Ohio as the Ohio Turnpike. It ends at the New Jersey border at the Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge over the Delaware River in Bucks County, where the road continues east as the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike. The highway runs east–west through the state, connecting the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia areas. It crosses the Appalachian Mountains in central Pennsylvania, passing through four tunnels. The turnpike is part of the Interstate Highway System; it is designated as part of Interstate 76 (I-76) between the Ohio border and Valley Forge, I-70 and I-76 between New Stanton and Breezewood, and I-276 between Valley Forge and the New Jersey border. The road uses a ticket system of tolling between the Warrendale and Neshaminy Falls toll plazas. An additional eastbound toll plaza is located at Gateway, near the Ohio border, while a cashless westbound toll plaza using toll-by-plate is located at the Delaware River Bridge."

Its western point is located near the village of Merrimac on State Highway 113. The eastern point is located in Okee, Wisconsin. The Merrimac Ferry is both a functional regional crossing and a tourist attraction. There are snack bars at queue areas on either side of the river, and an ice cream stand on the north. It is the state's only free ferry, as well as the only ferry left on the Wisconsin State Trunk Highway System. The ferry is close to the head of Lake Wisconsin, as well as regional recreation areas, including Devil's Lake and Wisconsin Dells.

"text": "Posted May 13, 2010For Immediate Release Contact: Rod Mc Millan, MTC/BATAJohn Goodwin, MTC/BATA510.817.5860510.817.5862Up to $10 in Free Tolls Fas Trak® Toll Tags Now Available At Walgreens Stores OAKLAND, Calif., May 13, 2010 – With a toll increase on the Bay Area’s seven state-owned bridges going into effect on July 1, 2010, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) has expanded its Fas Trak® retail distribution network to make it easier than ever for motorists to enjoy a faster commute. New Fas Trak customers can now obtain toll tags at more than 125 Walgreens stores around the Bay Area as well as at some 100 Safeway supermarkets and two dozen Costco warehouses. New customers who pick up a Fas Trak toll tag at a participating retailer from May 15 to July 15 can get up to $10 in free tolls. A complete list of participating locations is available on the Fas Trak website at bayareafastrak.org.“With the toll tags available at Walgreens, Costco and Safeway, Fas Trak enrollment becomes a lot more convenient for a lot more people,” said Napa County Supervisor and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) member Bill Dodd, who chairs the Commission’s BATA Oversight Committee. “ And convenience is really what Fas Trak is all about. Because Fas Trak customers prepay their tolls, they don’t have to stop to pay cash at a toll booth. The correct toll is deducted electronically from a customer’s prepaid account when they pass through the toll plaza. Having the tags available at Walgreens is especially timely for carpool commuters because they will have to use Fas Trak to qualify for the new discounted carpool toll that begins July 1.”The new $2.50 carpool toll, which is half of the new $5 regular toll (and a $3.50 discount off the new $6 peak-period toll on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge), will be assessed for carpool vehicles that cross the region’s state-owned toll bridges in designated carpool lanes on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. July 1 also will mark the debut of congestion pricing—also known as time-of-day pricing—on the Bay Bridge, which is by far the region’s busiest toll bridge. Beginning July 1, auto tolls on the Bay Bridge will vary from $4 during weekday off-peak hours, to $5 all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and to $6 from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. The regular auto toll will rise to $5 from the current $4 at all times on the six other state-owned toll bridges: the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo-Hayward bridges."

These historical documents were shown on Bulgarian television in June 2013, during a report on the Second Danube Bridge. Bulgarian newspapers hence described the opening of the New Europe Bridge across the Danube river as 'the materialising of a century old dream'. [ 8]Building a bridge between Calafat (in Romania) and Vidin (in Bulgaria) had been discussed more seriously since the late 1970s, but the plan was abandoned over and over again. For centuries there had been no bridges crossing the Danube river between Bulgaria and Romania since the destruction of Constantine's Bridge, which was built by the Romans, until the Giurgiu–Ruse Friendship Bridge was built and opened in 1954."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Norman Canadians are Canadians who can be either French speaking or English speaking. Their ancestors originate from Normandy and they came from, what is called now Upper Normandy, Lower Normandy and the Channel Islands. Normans ( Nortmanni in Latin) was originally the name given by the Northern French inhabitants to Norwegian and Danish Vikings that plundered the French coastal regions and to those who finally settled in the Northwestern part of Neustria around 911 AD. Their descendants, that completely mixed up with the local population, were called Norman as well and the part of France, where they lived, Normandie. [ 1] It could be said that some of their ancestors were the first Europeans to discover North America in 1000 AD (see Leif Ericson ). Other Normans came to Canada from countries that they had immigrated to after the Edit de Nantes had been revoked in 1685. Thousands of Norman people immigrated to Great Britain, the Netherlands, South Africa and the British colonies and some to Switzerland and Germany, [2] when the majority converted to Catholicism. The first settlers to Canada came from Normandy. Example: On July 23, 1632, 300 colonists heading to Canada departed from Dieppe. They brought with them their own culture and Norman language."

"text": "Driving from Geneva Airport to Chamonix Mont-Blanc Tweet If you plan to fly to Geneva and hire a car, the route to Chamonix is relatively straight-forward, covering a distance of 88 km. Chamonix is located 80 km southeast of Geneva, Switzerland, and driving time from Geneva Airport (GVA) to Chamonix is about one hour via the Autoroute Blanche (A40) motorway. There is a short stretch of Swiss autoroute before reaching the French autoroute. To use the Swiss autoroute system, a Swiss Vignette is required (CHF 40). Alternatively, you can drive through the centre of Geneva. If you are fortunate, it may add no more than 20mins to your journey. Our recommendation is to take the autoroute. During rush hour, the autoroute will also incur a traffic jam at the border crossing between Switzerland and France. In the worst scenario, this may delay your journey by up to 15mins. The best route to Chamonix avoiding Geneva centre Distance: 100km Duration: 1hr 15mins Directions from Geneva Airport to Chamonix This route avoids Geneva centre and is usually quicker although about 14km longer."

"text": "\"California Gold Rush (1848–1858)Publications digitized for Immigration to the USCharles Drayton Gibbes, A New Map of the Gold Region in California, 1851, Harvard Map Collection. The great California gold rush began on January 24, 1848, when James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget in the American River while constructing a sawmill for John Sutter, a Sacramento agriculturalist. News of Marshall’s discovery brought thousands of immigrants to California from elsewhere in the United States and from other countries. The large influx of \"\"'49ers,\"\" as the gold prospectors were known, caused California's population to increase dramatically. In San Francisco, for example, the population grew from 1,000 in 1848 to over 20,000 by 1850. California's overall population growth was so swift that it was incorporated into the Union as the 31st state in 1850—just two years after the United States had acquired it from Mexico under the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War. One of the migrations stimulated by the discovery of gold was the internal westward movement of Americans from the eastern states who hoped to make fortunes in California. At first, there were only two routes. The first entailed a six-month sea voyage from New York around the tip of South America to San Diego or San Francisco. Rampant seasickness, bug-infested food, boredom, and high expense made this route unattractive for many would-be prospectors."

It was a key part of the Mineral Revolution. There had always been rumours of a modern-day \"\" El Dorado \"\" in the folklore of the native tribes that roamed the plains of the South African highveld and in that of the gold miners who had come from all over the world to seek out their fortunes on the alluvial mines of Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest, in what is now known as the province of Mpumalanga. But it was not until 1886 that the massive wealth of the Witwatersrand would be uncovered. Scientific studies have pointed to the fact that the \"\" Golden Arc \"\" which stretches from Johannesburg to Welkom was once a massive inland lake, and that silt and gold deposits from alluvial gold settled in the area to form the gold-rich deposits that South Africa is famous for."

The laborers at the sawmill had close friends working at Sutter’s Fort. As soon as rumors began to circulate around the Fort, the first adventurers made the 40-mile trip to the sawmill. When these men returned to the Fort with samples of gold dust, Sutter’s worst fears were quickly realized. Sutter described it this way: “Everyone left, from the clerk to the cook, and I was in great distress. ”Nearly everyone, of course, went to the sawmill to dig for gold. But one enterprising Mormon merchant named Sam Brannan had a better idea. He bought all the mining supplies he could find, and filled his store at Sutter’s Fort with buckets, pans, heavy clothing, foodstuffs, and similar provisions. Then he took a quinine bottle full of gold flakes to the nearest town, San Francisco."

"text": "\"The Colorado Gold Rush was the boom in the prospecting and mining of gold in present-day Colorado in the United States that began in 1859 (when the land was still in the Kansas Territory) and lasted throughout the early 1860s. It is still considered to be the largest gold rush in American history, and an intricate part of the history of the country in general. The gold rush, which followed approximately a decade after the California Gold Rush, was accompanied by a dramatic influx of emigrants into the region of the Rocky Mountains and exemplified by the phrase \"\"Pikes Peak or Bust\"\", a reference to the mountain in the Front Range that guided many early prospectors to the region westward over the Great Plains. A miner pans for gold somewhere in Colorado during the late 1800's The prospectors provided the first major white population in the region, leading to the creation of many early towns, including Denver and Boulder, as well as many other smaller mining towns, some of which have survived (such as Idaho Springs and Central City) but many of which have become ghost towns. The first decade of the boom was largely concentrated along the South Platte River at the base of the mountains, the canyon of Clear Creek in the mountains west of Golden, and South Park. As prospectors flooded the region in search of quick riches, the rapid population growth led to the creation of the Colorado Territory in 1861 and to the U. S. state of Colorado in 1876. The easy-to-reach gold deposits were largely played out by 1863 until another major strike was made in 1891 in the Cripple Creek area. Hard rock and placer mining followed exhaustion of the easy-to-reach surface deposits in all those areas and the region continues to produce gold ore and many other minerals up to the present day, although gold has been a minor part of the picture for decades. The railroad lines built to haul gold from the mountains were a major part in creating the economic base of the region in the following decades, especially as Colorado experienced a companion mining boom in 1879 with the Colorado Silver Boom. In 1848, a group of Cherokee on their way to California over the Cherokee Trail discovered gold in a stream bed in the South Platte basin."

This chapter looks at the waves of migration that have added new cultures to Australian society, starting from the Chinese influx during the gold rush in the 1850s. The gold rush migration The first major wave of migration to Australia after white settlement was from China in the 19th century. Many Chinese people came to Australia during the gold rush in the 1850s. White Australians were hostile towards them. Sometimes there were riots on the goldfields. Some Chinese people were murdered by white people. The Victorian Government passed laws so that fewer Chinese people would come to Australia. These were early examples of what later became known as the White Australia policy, meaning the desire of Australian governments for most Australians to be white people. White Australians said they did not like the Chinese migrants because they took their jobs."

Introduction In August 1896, Skookum Jim Mason, Dawson Charlie and George Washington Carmack found gold in a tributary of the Klondike River in Canada's Yukon Territory. Their discovery set off one of the greatest gold rushes in history. All kinds of men (and women too), sold or gave up everything they had, and tried to strike it rich. A few actually did (mostly the early arrivals), some decided to profit from the gold fever of others. Some had to move back to wherever they came from, broke and broken, and many didn't make it at all. The Canadian Mounties (their organization began during this tumultuous time) tried to keep order, but there were scams and hoodlums and all kinds of unsavory characters. You had to watch your back, as well as the weather. Jack London wrote vividly about life during that time, and the effects the harsh environment and circumstances had on the men and animals who lived through it."

Early life and career Chaplin was named after his father, a British music-hall entertainer. He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and he made his own stage debut at age five, filling in for his mother. The mentally unstable Hall was later confined to an asylum. Charlie and his half brother Sydney were sent to a series of bleak workhouses and residential schools. Using his mother’s show-business contacts, Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when he joined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a clog-dancing act. His subsequent stage credits include a small role in William Gillette ’s Sherlock Holmes (1899) and a stint with the vaudeville act Casey’s Court Circus. In 1908 he joined the Fred Karno pantomime troupe, quickly rising to star status as The Drunk in the ensemble sketch A Night in an English Music Hall. While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett ’s Keystone comedy films. Though his first Keystone one-reeler, Making a Living (1914), was not the failure that historians have claimed, Chaplin’s initial screen character, a mercenary dandy, did not show him to best advantage."

Breckenridge was founded to serve the miners working rich placer gold deposits discovered along the Blue River. Placer gold mining was soon joined by hard rock mining, as prospectors followed the gold to its source veins in the mountains. Gold in some upper gravel benches north of the Blue River was recovered by hydraulic mining. Gold production decreased in the late 1800s, but revived in 1908 by gold dredging operations along the Blue River and Swan River. The Breckenridge mining district is credited with production of about one million troy ounces of gold. Creede was the last silver boom town in Colorado in the 1800s. The first silver discovery was made at the Alpha mine in 1869, but the silver could not be extracted at a profit from the complex ores. The great “Boom Days” started with the discovery of rich minerals in Willow Creek Canyon in 1889. The town leapt from a population of 600 in 1889 to more than 10,000 people in December 1891."

"text": "THE GOLD DISCOVERY. By Theodore H. Hittell THE gold discovery, which, by attracting the attention of the world to California made its name familiar among all civilized people and induced the greatest rush known in the history of the globe, took place on January [24], 1848. It was just two weeks before the signing of the articles of peace; but, as it took some time to realize the value and confront the reality of the discovery, it may be said in general terms to have been contemporaneous with the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the tradition of California from Mexico to the United States. John A. Sutter, the enterprising Swiss, who had settled New Helvetia and in various ways played an important part in the affairs of the country ever since his arrival in 1839, was a man of many projects. After the American occupation to which he was friendly, he had not added anything to his fort; but he had begun to spread in other directions. His establishment at, that time, with the exception of an adobe building to the east of the fort called the hospital, consisted of the fort alone. It was an inclosure of an acre or so, rectangular in form, surrounded by an adobe wall about twenty feet high. At two of the corners, diagonally opposite each other, were two-story block-houses. Inside the inclosure there was a large building, with a shingle roof, used as a store-house; and all around the walls on the inside were ranged houses or rooms which were used for residence purposes and as shops for blacksmiths, carpenters and other workmen. In some of the apartments Indian, women made course blankets, and in others Indian men attended to other indoor work."

"text": "It played a huge impact on populations in California and the surrounding areas. It was the discovery of gold by James Marshall in Coloma in 1848 that started the whole thing. It wasn’t long before word of the discovery had traveled to lands across the whole world. People began traveling to California in search of the gold and the riches that it could bring. Approximate numbers showed that about 150,000 people traveled to California by boat, while 150,000 more people traveled across the land. The sudden growth from prospectors and their families caused small towns to grow, like San Francisco. It also contributed to the addition of more schools, churches, and roads. The Gold Rush, and the increase in population density, directly led to California’s admittance into the nation as a free state. In the beginning the gold was mainly gathered from local small waterways through a technique called panning, which is the use of a sifter pan to filter out the dirt and small particles while the gold is left in the pan. By the end of the Gold Rush in 1855, more complicated methods for gathering the gold had been invented, and these methods included equipment for mining the gold from the surrounding underground rock formations."

[ 1]What distinguished the California trail from all other overland emigrant trails can be summed up in a single word -- gold. The January 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's mill on the American River would firmly establish the California trail and also directly impact all other trails that led emigrants to the great American West. Although emigrant companies had arrived in California prior to the great gold rush, the full story of the California Trail occurred after 1848, as the allure of wealth caused hundreds of thousands to surmount incredible obstacles while following routes to the Golden State. [ 2]The Establishment of the California Trail As early as 1841 the Bidwell-Bartleson company arrived in California after abandoning wagons in present-day northeastern Nevada and after an almost desperate crossing of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. [ 3] After arriving in California, one company member, Joseph C. Chiles, returned east in 1842, organized another company, and set out for California in 1843. Near Fort Bridger the Chiles company enlisted mountain man Joseph Walker as a guide. As they continued west, the shortage of provisions became a critical problem, causing Chiles and Walker to split the company into two groups. Chiles led one group of packers along the Oregon Trail to Fort Boise then turned southwest, crossed into present-day California, and eventually reached Sutter's Fort. Walker led the remainder of the company with the wagons, west toward California."

It was obvious that the shortest way to California was by way of Panama, avoiding the 10,000-mile sea voyage around the Horn or the dangerous 3,000-mile trek across the United States. And, in the frenzy of \"\"gold fever\"\" few gave any thought to the hazards they would face transiting the small neck of land that stood in their way. Ships from the north first touched land at the forlorn village of Chagres near the mouth of the Chagres River and at the height of the Gold Rush hordes of California-bound emigrants daily swarmed ashore, determined to make their way to the other side of the Isthmus without delay and there re-embark for the final dash to California. The Isthmian crossing was made in stages, partly by river, and partly by land. First, the Forty-niners had to seek out and hire native boatmen with dugout canoes, called \"\"bungoes,\"\" to transport them to some point in the vicinity of Cruces or Gorgona. From there, they took mules to Panama or, if they could afford it, the expensive \"\"silleros,\"\" so called because of the silla, a kind of chair which the natives lashed to their backs for carrying passengers. The trail from Cruces was longer and rougher than that from Gorgona but had the advantage of being open in all weather. It followed the ancient Las Cruces Trail of the Spanish Conquistadores. It had once been paved with stone over its entire length and, despite centuries of neglect, enough of the stonework remained to give the mules a footing, precarious though it was during the drenching tropical rains."

"text": "\"Exhibitions Essay: 1848-1865: Gold Rush, Statehood, and the Western Movement The discovery of gold in California in 1848 vastly accelerated changes that had been occurring since 1769. Already a meeting place for Mexicans, Russians, Americans, Europeans, and natives, the gold rush turned California into a truly global frontier where immigrants from every continent on earth now jostled. More than 300,000 gold seekers flooded California by 1850, bringing to the new American state an astonishing variety of languages, religions, and social customs. Many of these visitors had no interest in settling down in California, intending only to make their \"\"pile\"\" and return home with pockets full of gold. The arrival and departure of thousands of immigrants, the intensely multicultural nature of society, and the newness of American institutions made Gold Rush California a chaotic, confusing landscape for natives and newcomers alike. Native Population Plummets The disruptions of the Gold Rush proved devastating for California's native groups, already in demographic decline due to Spanish and Mexican intrusion. The state's native population plummeted from about 150,000 in 1848 to 30,000 just 12 years later. As foreigners methodically mined, hunted, and logged native groups' most remote hiding places, natives began raiding mining camps for subsistence. This led to cycles of violence as American miners — supported by the state government — organized war parties and sometimes slaughtered entire native groups. The Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, passed by the state legislature in 1850, denied native Californians the right to testify in court and allowed white Americans and Californios to keep natives as indentured servants. \"\""

Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress For most stampeders, deciding to leave for the Klondike was easier than choosing a route. The media and public frenzy surrounding this gold discovery was unlike anything that had come before. The public was flooded with questionable reports, advice and maps, much of it from promoters, con-men and self-proclaimed experts scrounging for profits from the tens of thousands scrambling north. Erastus Brainerd, a Seattle civic promoter, wanted stampeders to consider his city the best departure point for the gold fields. He mailed copies of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer —full of breathless stories of the gold discovery—to 70,000 postmasters for display in post offices. Brainerd's strategy was extraordinarily successful. From 1897 to 1899, Seattle merchants alone took in millions of dollars from departing stampeders, considerably more money than miners brought out of the Klondike in the same period.

Sargis MD, Ph DYour doctor may suspect that you have Graves’ disease simply based on your medical and family history, combined with your symptoms . The next step—to make an accurate diagnosis—involves testing your thyroid to discover if it functions as it should, or if you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Before you have these tests, you should tell your doctor about all medications and supplements you take, since certain drugs (such as birth control pills and aspirin) can actually influence thyroid test results. Graves’ Disease Blood Tests Your doctor or endocrinologist will draw your blood in order to test certain hormone levels. He or she may want to measure the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3 (triiodothyronine), and T4 (thyroxine) hormone levels. T3 and T4 are the major hormones produced by your thyroid. TSH, which is released by the pituitary gland, tells your thyroid to produce T3 and T4. If your doctor can’t definitively diagnose Graves’ disease after looking at your TSH, T3, and T4 levels, he or she may order additional blood tests to check other factors that may indicate Graves’ disease—such as antibody levels. Testing TSH Levels This is usually the first test the doctor orders. He or she will want to check on your thyroid-stimulating hormone level."

This hormone plays a role in several of your body’s functions, including growth and metabolism. Some of your T4 exists as free T4. This means that it hasn’t bonded to protein in your blood. This is the type available for use by your body and tissues. However, most of the T4 in your bloodstream is bonded to protein. Because T4 exists in two forms in your body, there are two kinds of T4 tests: a total T4 test and a free T4 test. A total T4 test measures the T4 that has bonded to protein along with any free T4. A free T4 test measures only the free T4 in your blood."

If the pituitary detects that the gland is producing too little thyroid hormone, the pituitary produces more TSH, which then prompts the gland to produce more thyroid hormone. When the pituitary detects too much thyroid hormone, it lowers TSH, as a message to the gland to slow down or stop production of thyroid hormone. Measures: The TSH test measures the amount of TSH in the bloodstream. Reference Range: 0.5-4.70 µIU/m L. (Some laboratories are 0.3 to 4.5, or other similar ranges. ) Conventional Interpretation: Above range, and under 10 µIU/m L is \"\"subclinical\"\" hypothyroidism, over 10 µIU/m L is overt hypothyroidism."

D. 37 Comments [For an additional late breaking news on this subject be sure to check out the book, Metabolism.com]Over 20 years ago endocrinologists had experience with hormone compound pills containing both T4 and T3. Those physicians who had the opportunity to use these compounds know that patients frequently seem to do better with them than with the more traditional T4 (Synthroid, L-thyroxine, Levoxyl etc.). For various reasons most companies stopped producing combination thyroid hormone pills two decades ago. Why does combination therapy with T4 and T3 appear to provide more benefits than either hormone alone? The reason was clarified in an article published in The New England Journal of Medicine summarized in this news report;NEW YORK, Feb 10 (Reuters Health) — Patients with hypothyroidism show greater improvements in mood and brain function if they receive treatment with two types of thyroid hormones instead of one, according to a report in the February 11th issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. Hypothyroidism, where the gland has ceased to function or has been removed, is usually treated with daily doses of thyroxine hormone. But the researchers found that substituting another thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine, for some of the thyroxine dose led to improvements in mood and in neuropsychological functioning. “There are two thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine,” Dr. Robertas Bunevicius, of Kaunas Medical University in Lithuania, and colleagues explain in their paper."

Reliance on TSHAccording to mainstream medicine, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction. This hormone released by the pituitary gland in the brain stimulates the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland in our necks to produce thyroid hormones. Unfortunately TSH alone does not provide a complete picture.

But there is a lot of mistaken information about TSH levels, thyroid problems, and how important TSH levels and your thyroid actually are to your overall health and bodily functions. And if you’ve ever done any research on the thyroid, you’ve probably encountered the indecipherable “medical speak” that you find on various sites that leave you even more confused than before when searching for information on thyroid stimulating hormones. So we wanted to give you a “layman’s” view on TSH levels, and how your thyroid actually works in your body. THS Levels & How Your Body Works First off, you need to understand what your TSH levels and your thyroid actually do; and why thyroid stimulating hormones can affect your overall health. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid sits just below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you will not even be able to feel it. Why is your thyroid health so critically important?"

"text": "\"Normal Result Ranges for Thyroid Blood Testswritten by: Vasanth•edited by: Daniella Nicole•updated: 3/8/2011There are several blood tests that measure how well the thyroid is functioning, including the TSH blood test, the T3 blood test, and the T4 blood test. Abnormal thyroid blood test levels may indicate hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or other related conditions. TSH Blood Test The TSH test measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood. It is responsible for how much thyroxine and triiodothyronine are released by the thyroid gland. If the proper amount of these hormones aren't released, certain symptoms may arise. When thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels are high, rapid heart rate, weight loss and difficulty sleeping occur. When the thyroid hormone levels are low, weight gain, dry skin and constipation are some of the symptoms. The TSH blood test is usually ordered to diagnose a thyroid disorder. It can also be used to monitor the effects of thyroid replacement therapy. Newborns are screened for an underactive thyroid with the TSH blood test."

I have had an underactive thryoid for about 13 years. My thyroxin dose has very slowly increased from 50mcg to 125mcg in that time. A couple of months ago I had my annual blood test and my TSH level had suddenly increased to 52. My GP thought it must be a mistake so re-tested and it came back as 47. She therefore increased my dose from 125mcg to 150mcg which I've been on for 4 weeks. I've had my re-test done and just got the results back and I've now gone the other way and am overactive. My results/ranges are as follows: TSH range 0.35-4.94. Previous test 47. New test 0.19T4 range 9-19."

"text": "Chapter One: Adrenal Insufficiency and Hypothyroidism The adrenal glands play an extremely important role in the body. They are, first and foremost, involved in immune function and the body’s stress response. They also regulate blood sugar levels, blood pressure, inflammation, blood vessel constriction, and electrolyte balance in the cells, among other things. They help mobilize protein for energy use by the body, and aid in carrying thyroid hormones from the blood to the cells. Adrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands fail to produce proper amounts of steroid hormones and adrenalin, which are used by the body for all of the aforementioned processes. The condition is due to prolonged stress from disease, trauma, or toxins. Sometimes it is caused by adrenals that are inherently weak. Based on my research and experience, I believe that adrenal fatigue is a principal, or triggering cause of illness in many people with tick-borne infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other conditions involving severe autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Adrenal insufficiency can cause detoxification problems, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, dysautonomias, and other neuroendocrine problems (which are usually attributed to the effects of tick-borne infections). Adrenal insufficiency can be caused by tick-borne infections, but it can also be what triggers tick-borne illness."

"text": "Tuesday 18 February 2014Architecture, China, Ghost Town, Rooftops, Urban Exploration Built for a population in excess of a million – yet largely uninhabited to this day – it’s little surprise that Ordos has earned itself the nickname of China’s Ghost City. In this report I’ll be looking up-close at the Kangbashi New Area, the most recent addition to the city of Ordos; and by far its least populous district. Rather than photograph these buildings from afar though, when I visited Ordos in 2013 my plan was to get under the skin of this bizarre metropolis, examining it from inside, above and below. In my recent post titled “ Welcome to Ordos “, I gave something of an introduction to the Ghost City – the region and its culture, China’s swelling property market and the stillborn future metropolis of Ordos. I documented the old centre of Ordos (a run-down mess of unfinished apartments, office blocks, casinos, car parks and brothels), the most densely populated district of the city. I also introduced the Kangbashi New Area: taking a walk around the stylish, modern and utterly deserted Genghis Khan Square, right in the heart of Kangbashi. By this point though, the walking tour was over, and it was time to see the real Ordos – to see what the BBC, Al Jazeera, the New York Times et al., had, in my opinion, failed to show. It was time to get off the approved footpaths, to start opening some doors and ignoring no entry signs, as we attempted to infiltrate the world’s largest ghost town. The Rooftops of Ordos From Genghis Khan Square we turned east, crossing a patch of scrubland that I can only guess had been intended to some day burst into green grass."

The Thai calendar also includes many holidays and festivals which are not official holidays. Below is the complete calendar of Thai Holidays and Festivals for 2017-2018The majority of shops and entertainment venues may be open on public holidays but government buildings and offices tend to be closed. Department stores and tourist attractions can be particularly busy on public holidays so it is best for those averse to crowds to keep away. During these times there is no access to non-emergency government services. Simple banking should not be a problem. Branches in shopping malls normally stay open, and all ATMs operate as usual. Foreign exchange booths normally also stay open. However, remember if planning to renew a visa, or send something from a post office, or use the main branch of a bank, not to go on these days. Dates of Thai Holidays and Festivals Many of the important Thai holidays will occur on the same date each year."

Chinese unlucky numbers are limited to just a handful, though a number’s luck will vary depending on the area in which the person lives. By understanding these Chinese inauspicious numbers, you get a better look at the beliefs that drive Chinese beliefs and superstitions. Even though many people of Chinese descent may not understand why these numbers are unlucky, they may still avoid them in their lives. Chinese Bad Luck Numbers There are two primary Chinese bad luck numbers avoided as much as possible. However, some lucky numbers are considered unlucky in certain circumstances. We will outline unlucky numbers below and discuss how positive numbers can turn unlucky in the right circumstances.

"text": "\"Kenya: Man-eating lions of Tsavo return to strike terror into railway workers By Julian Kossoff May 30, 2015 12:58 BSTThe Tsavo Man-Eaters on display in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois. ( Jeffrey Jung/Wikicommons)The descendants of the Tsavo Man-Eaters lions have emerged from the African Bush to strike terror in workers replacing the Kenya-Uganda Railway. In 1898, the notorious Tsavo Man-Eaters – a pair of lions with a taste for human flesh – killed dozens of Indian workers who built the British Kenya-Uganda Railway, before they were shot by a British colonial officer. Why advertise with us Now their descendants in Kenya are attacking workers laying the £2.5bn replacement of the rail line by the Chinese. According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), a ranger was attacked and badly injured by a lion earlier this week, whilst he was guarding an area near the construction of the new railway line. The area was to be visited by the Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta. Earlier this year, KWS had urged workers building the new standard gauge railway to take extra care in the evening, so as to avoid being prey for Tsavo's lions. KWS assistant director Robert Obrein was reported to have told workers in the area: \"\" (The Company's) camp is in the area where the notorious man-eating lions that were responsible for the deaths of a number of workers who built the Kenya-Uganda railway in 1898 roamed. It is also near Tsavo River where other big cats such as cheetahs and leopards come to drink water. \"\" Ghost and the Darkness The Lions of Tsavo became famous in 1898 when a team of Indian builders were attacked by two lions while building a bridge over the River Tsavo."

"text": "\"ANCESTOR WORSHIP AND VENERATIONHistory Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC). The people at this time worshiped many deities, including natural forces and elements such as rain, clouds, rivers, mountains, the sun, the moon, and the earth. Their greatest deity, Shang Di (上帝, pinyin: Shàngdì), remains an important god in the Chinese pantheon. The history of ancestor veneration has its roots in the Zhou Dynasty (1122- 256 BC). When the Zhou dynasty came to power, significant changes took place in religion. People still worshiped the old gods, but ancestor worship became increasingly important. Confucianism and Taoism appeared near the end of the Zhou dynasty. These two religious traditions had an enormous influence on the development of the most basic and lasting principles of Chinese culture. Confucianism The basic aim of Confucianism is to live in harmony with the \"\"Way (Tao/ Dao) of Heaven\"\" by carrying out the duties and responsibilities appropriate to one's position in society. Ancestor worship and reverence to family are fundamental elements of Confucianism."

But without understanding the floriography — the meanings associated with certain flowers —, the symbolism could go over your head. While some flowers represent seasons or months, others have symbolic meanings based on their Chinese names. Learn the importance of flowers in Chinese culture along with symbolism and taboos associated with some Chinese flowers. Iris On lunar May 5, Irises are hung over doors to repel evil spirits. The flower is also a symbol of spring, and eating them is said to prolong one's life. Magnolia Magnolias were once so precious, that only Chinese emperors were allowed to own them. They have also been used in Chinese medicine. Today, magnolias represent beauty. Peony Peonies are the flower of spring, also known as the \"\"queen of flowers.\"\""

Contents [ hide ]1 Origins and history2 In other traditions3 Other variants4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External links Origins and history [ edit]The exact origin of the superstition is unknown, though it was recorded in Notes and Queries as being said by children in 1909:\"\"My two daughters are in the habit of saying 'Rabbits!' on the first day of each month. The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month. It brings luck for that month. Other children, I find, use the same formula.\"\" [ 1]In response to this note another contributor said that his daughter believed that the outcome would be a present, and that the word must be spoken up the chimney to be most effective; another pointed out that the word rabbit was often used in expletives, and suggested that the superstition may be a survival of the ancient belief in swearing as a means of avoiding evil. [ 2] People continue to express curiosity about the origins of this superstition [3] and draw upon it for inspiration in making calendars [4] suggestive of the Labors of the Months, thus linking the rabbit rabbit superstition to seasonal fertility. It appeared in a work of fiction in 1922:\"\"Why,\"\" the man in the brown hat laughed at him, \"\"I thought everybody knew 'Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.' If you say 'Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit'—three times, just like that—first thing in the morning on the first of the month, even before you say your prayers, you'll get a present before the end of the month.\"\" ["

This is a safe operation with a minimal risk of damaging either the parathyroids or the laryngeal nerves. There are several reasons why total thyroidectomy surgery may be needed including: Multinodular goitre Thyroid compression symptoms / Retrosternal goitre Hyperthyroidism Thyroid cancer Cosmetic reasons such as an unsightly lump in the front of the neck Aims of total thyroidectomy surgery To make an accurate diagnosis by sending the whole thyroid gland for pathology testing To relieve pressure and compression symptoms when the thyroid gland is pressing on the trachea and / or oesophagus To correct hyperthyroidism when medical management is unsuccessful Anaesthesia for Total Thyroidectomy Total thyroidectomy is routinely performed under general anaesthesia The anaesthetic is given by a specialist Anaesthetist Modern anaesthesia is safe, however, rarely serious reactions to anaesthesia occur If you have ever had a reaction to an anaesthetic drug tell your Anaesthetist and Surgeon Your Anaesthetist will be able to explain which anaesthetic is best and the associated risks and benefits The Incision for total Thyroidectomy surgery A horizontal skin incision is made in one of the lower neck skin creases. The incision is routinely closed with dissolving sutures and then taped with micropore. With routine wound care including taping in the early post-operative period the scar usually settles to blend in with the skin creases. Recovery The in-hospital length of stay after total thyroidectomy is usually one night and the length of time off work is variable but often one to two weeks. Most people recover fairly quickly after total thyroidectomy and resume normal activities within one to two weeks. A post-operative visit at two to three weeks is routine to review the results – you will need to contact the office to make an appointment for that visit. You will also need to be reviewed by your local doctor or endocrinologist at around 6 weeks and have thyroid function tests to check the function of your remaining thyroid."

Paula Muran Updated November 26, 2017Candida Albicans is a yeast infestation, from a parasite that thrives in warm-blooded animals. In the allopathic world of medicine it is referred as a fungus. This fungus can cause thrush and vaginal infections and spread to any part of the body that is weakened. We all have intestinal candida and when in balance it helps maintain and aid our immune system by controlling the unfriendly organisms. However, Candida Albicans takes advantage of circumstances in the body. This single cell fungi multiplies and develops toxins which circulate in the blood stream which cause an array of maladies. Candida produces an alcohol called ethanol producing an intoxicating effect in the blood if the count level is too high. Ethanol grows rapidly when yeast has a food source like white sugar or white floor products. In severe cases it produces much more than the liver can oxidize and eliminate."

"text": "THYROID DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENTFred Lanting (Part 2 of 2) Read Part 1A Keeshond breeder in Georgia had a 23-pound (10kg) dog that, in late middle age, reacted to its hypothyroidism with what the owner described as “paralysis” and the vet called “hypothyroid neuropathy”. Neither of them had previously seen this, although I have several similar pieces of correspondence from other owners who have had similar experience. When they finally thought of the possibility of hypothyroidism and confirmed it, the dog Rikki was started on tablets of Soloxine at 0.1mg BID (a total of 0.2mg per day). Typical of other owners, she called the symptoms “scary” and the recovery, once medication was started, as “miraculous.” The Kees never had a relapse of the paralysis (I followed up when she was elderly), not other symptoms, and the thyroid function, checked every 6 months, remained in the safe normal range. A correspondent in the UK told me she is treating her second hypothyroid Chow-Chow, eleven years old and 35 lbs at the time of this writing, and it has been on the medicine for four years as of this writing. In her country she is using “Forthyron-400” (had used Soloxine on the previous Chow). Her story is typical of many whose vets do not recognize the symptoms as indicative of thyroid dysfunction. Here is part of what she wrote to me:“Heaven [the first bitch] when started on the treatment was at death’s door -- she was severely hypothermic (we couldn't get a reading on the thermometer), totally uncoordinated, her eyes were ulcerated, and still the vet was diagnosing HD and entropion. I insisted she do a full set of thyroid tests – previously, when I asked her to test, she only did a simple blood test."

"text": "Health Guide Disease Reference Care Notes Medication List Encyclopedia Q & AMore Overview Symptoms Causes Risk factors Complications Diagnosis Treatment Lifestyle and home remedies Coping and support Preparing for an appointment Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)Overview Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism significantly, causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability. Several treatment options are available if you have hyperthyroidism. Doctors use anti-thyroid medications and radioactive iodine to slow the production of thyroid hormones. Sometimes, treatment of hyperthyroidism involves surgery to remove all or part of your thyroid gland. Although hyperthyroidism can be serious if you ignore it, most people respond well once hyperthyroidism is diagnosed and treated. Symptoms Hyperthyroidism can mimic other health problems, which may make it difficult for your doctor to diagnose. It can also cause a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including: Sudden weight loss, even when your appetite and the amount and type of food you eat remain the same or even increase Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) — commonly more than 100 beats a minute — irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or pounding of your heart (palpitations)Increased appetite Nervousness, anxiety and irritability Tremor — usually a fine trembling in your hands and fingers Sweating Changes in menstrual patterns Increased sensitivity to heat Changes in bowel patterns, especially more frequent bowel movements An enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), which may appear as a swelling at the base of your neck Fatigue, muscle weakness Difficulty sleeping Skin thinning Fine, brittle hair Older adults are more likely to have either no signs or symptoms or subtle ones, such as an increased heart rate, heat intolerance and a tendency to become tired during ordinary activities. Medications called beta blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure and other conditions, can mask many of the signs of hyperthyroidism. Graves' ophthalmopathy Sometimes an uncommon problem called Graves' ophthalmopathy may affect your eyes, especially if you smoke."

"text": "\"Thyroid and Diet Factsheet There are no specific foods or dietary supplements that are helpful in treating thyroid disorders. To ensure that you remain as healthy as possible it is important to eat the right variety of foods in the correct proportions. For example, choose low fat, low calorie spread rather than butter or ordinary margarines, avoid high salt intake and cut down on hidden fats & sugars (cakes, biscuits, chocolate). More information is available from NHS guidance. We recommend a varied and healthy diet, with calcium rich foods and / or supplements, and normal vitamin D levels. If choosing to take any supplements, do so with care and not in excessive amounts, after appropriate advice from your doctor or pharmacist. Calcium Some calcium rich foods and supplements interfere with levothyroxine absorption. A gap of 4 hours between the two would be adequate to ensure there is no significant impact on blood thyroxine levels. If you are trying to lose weight and using lower fat milk (i.e. semi-skimmed or skimmed) note that these remain high in calcium despite being lower in fat. Soya Soya interferes with thyroxine absorption, therefore if you are taking thyroxine you should try to avoid soya."

( There is some question about the essentiality of fluorine despite the benefits for teeth). The requirement for iodine ranges from 100 to 200 mcg daily, with individual variation due to age, urinary clearance, sex and diet. There is no mechanism for conservation of iodine by the kidneys so it must be ingested regularly to prevent deficiency. Goiter is prevented by a daily intake of about 75 mcg and the RDA is set at 150 mcg. The US diet averages 300 mcg so deficiency is said to be uncommon. The thyroid hormone, thyroxine, requires four atoms of iodine in order to perform its function of regulating the rate of oxidation in every cell in the body. This is the the essential function of iodine and in case of deficiency the body energy drops and all cells function poorly. This is called myxedema and adults with this condition feel listless and depressed; their skin is dry and cold and the tissues become puffy and edematous. The tongue becomes swollen and the hair and eyebrows thin out so that diagnosis is sometimes obvious from the physical appearance by itself."

Some of the additions look like a good idea for almost all patients with hypothyroidism to take over the world. You can go for these vitamins and minerals regularly. The advantage of these elements are not only good for hypothyroidism, but even if you euthyroid, these trace elements will help to restore energy and boost your body and systems Immunity. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces thyroxine to its height, which is not enough, according to the requirement of the body. As the hormone directly into the body's metabolism, in conjunction with the entire body mechanism is disturbed when the gland is defective or change in the quality and quantity of hormone. Here is the list of vitamins and minerals is one must be familiar with: O Selenium: Selenium is used in the synthesisof T3 from T4. If the results of blood tests that are the levels of T3 were behind the levels of T4, you should try to supplement that contains selenium. However, this addition should take place after consulting your doctor.or B vitamins: The vitamin B group is very useful for the synthesis of the body of T4. A standard complement of vitamin B complex will ensure that you are getting enough food for the thyroid.or Iodine: Iodine deficiency is a major The causes of hypothyroidism in poor countries."

"text": "\"HEALTH NEWSFact Checked Stopping Birth Control May Lower Vitamin D Levels Women go on — and go off — birth control for a variety of reasons. When they stop taking the medication, however, they may want to check their vitamin D levels. Turns out the amount of vitamin D may drop in a woman’s body when she stops using hormonal contraceptives that contain estrogen. This finding was from a study published this month in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). Vitamin D helps manage calcium levels in the blood, which is vital for bone health. Pregnant women generate more vitamin D to support formation of the fetal skeleton, so they face more serious consequences from a vitamin D deficiency. \"\" Women who were using contraception containing estrogen tended to have higher vitamin D levels than other women,\"\" Dr. Quaker E. Harmon, Ph. D., the lead author of the study with the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, said in a statement. \"\" Our findings suggest that contraceptives containing estrogen tend to boost vitamin D levels, and those levels are likely to fall when women cease using contraception,” Harmon added. She also told Healthline that women going off birth control to conceive should take steps to make sure they have adequate vitamin D levels."

Like bioflavonoids, it has been studied as a treatment for hot flashes and for the psychological symptoms of menopause, including depression and fatigue. It can even relieve vaginal dryness in those women who either can't take or can't tolerate estrogen. According to one study, vitamin E helped skew the progesterone/estrogen ratio in the body toward progesterone. This could be very helpful for women who have heavy menstrual bleeding caused by excess estrogen. Vitamin E is also needed for healthy thyroid function. Vitamin E occurs in abundance in wheat germ, nuts, seeds, and some fruits and vegetables. Iron An essential component of red blood cells, iron combines with protein and copper to make hemoglobin, the pigment of the red blood cells. Studies have shown that women with iron deficiency have decreased physical stamina and endurance. Iron deficiency, the main cause of anemia, is common during all phases of a woman's life, because of both poor nutritional habits and regular blood loss through menstruation."

Medications or foods containing excess Iodine may cause either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism in susceptible individuals, and patients with thyroid disease who have not had their thyroid removed should generally avoid such medicines. Over the counter cough and cold remedies will often contain small amounts of iodine or stimulants (norepinephrine, neosynephrine, adrenaline etc) that may affect blood pressure and heart rate. Health food supplements containing kelp or seaweed extracts may contain substantial amounts of iodine which may also precipitate or exacerbate thyroid disease in susceptible persons. Many commonly used medications or supplements (iron, calcium, estrogen, proton pump inhibitors, statins) can cause alterations in thyroid hormone absorption or binding to plasma proteins, sometimes requiring dose adjustment of L-thyroxine Drugs that interact with levothyroxine: an observational study from the Thyroid Epidemiology, Audit and Research Study (TEARS)Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2014 Jul 17. doi: 10.1111/cen.12559In many parts of the world including most of North America, iodine deficiency is no longer a problem, and individuals taking moderate or large amounts of iodine in the form of supplements may actually aggravate a pre-existing, or a latent predisposition to develop a thyroid condition.

It is important to realize that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called \"\"normal range\"\" for many reasons. These variations may be due to such things as race, dietetic preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc. ), prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors, Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with your physician. It is not possible to diagnose or treat any disease or problem with this blood test alone. It can, however, help you to learn more about your body and detect potential problems in early stages when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. Our lab, like almost all labs, sets the normal result range for a particular test so that 95% of our healthy patients fall within the normal range. That means that 5% of our healthy patients fall outside of the normal range, even when there is nothing wrong with them. Thus an abnormal test does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you. Statistically if you have 20 or 30 individual tests run as part of a panel, chances are 1 or 2 will be slightly outside the normal range."

The gland produces thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolic rate (how fast calories are consumed to produce energy). Thyroid hormones are important in regulating body energy, body temperature, the body's use of other hormones and vitamins, and the growth and maturation of body tissues. Diseases of the thyroid gland can result in either production of too much (overactive thyroid disease or hyperthyroidism ), too little (underactive thyroid disease or hypothyroidism) thyroid hormone, thyroid nodules, and/or goiter. Thyroid problems are much more common in women than in men. Production of thyroid hormones: The process of hormone synthesis begins in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). The TRH travels through the venous plexus located in the pituitary stalk to the pituitary gland, also in the brain. In response, the pituitary gland then releases thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, also called thyrotropin) into the blood. The TSH travels to the thyroid gland and stimulates the thyroid to produce the two thyroid hormones, L-thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)."

Nothing like the placebo effect, although I think it was the result of my relief that there was finally an end in sight. After that, I went through several years of feeling pretty awful, because my string of doctors under-prescribed. If you are taking levo, the real “feel better” should happen around six weeks. Could be sooner. If you’re not feeling better by then (and even if you are), you’ll probably need a dose adjustment. It’s hard to get it right the very first time.

Thus, a nuclear reaction must cause a transformation of at least one nuclide to another. If a nucleus interacts with another nucleus or particle and they then separate without changing the nature of any nuclide, the process is simply referred to as a type of nuclear scattering, rather than a nuclear reaction. In principle, a reaction can involve more than two particles colliding, but because the probability of three or more nuclei to meet at the same time at the same place is much less than for two nuclei, such an event is exceptionally rare (see triple alpha process for an example very close to a three-body nuclear reaction). \"\" Nuclear reaction\"\" is a term implying an induced change in a nuclide, and thus it does not apply to any type of radioactive decay (which by definition is a spontaneous process) [ citation needed]. Natural nuclear reactions occur in the interaction between cosmic rays and matter, and nuclear reactions can be employed artificially to obtain nuclear energy, at an adjustable rate, on demand. Perhaps the most notable nuclear reactions are the nuclear chain reactions in fissionable materials that produce induced nuclear fission, and the various nuclear fusion reactions of light elements that power the energy production of the Sun and stars. Nuclear reactions may be shown in a form similar to chemical equations, for which invariant mass must balance for each side of the equation, and in which transformations of particles must follow certain conservation laws, such as conservation of charge and baryon number (total atomic mass number ). An example of this notation follows:63Li + 21H → 42He + ?."

On March 11th, 2011 a 9.0 earthquake on the Richter scale occurred off of the east coast of Japan [See Map # 1]. The massive tremor created a tsunami that was estimated at 23 feet (7 meters) in height. Between the quake and tsunami they are estimated to have killed more than 7000 people in addition to devastating thousands of businesses and homes (Fox News; Associate Press). To add insult to injury, the natural disaster caused extensive damage to a critical nuclear power plant. The earthquake triggered the shutdown sequence of the Fukushima nuclear power plant which is 170 miles (270 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo [See Map # 4]. While shutdown was successful, the resulting damage from the earthquake and tsunami prevented critical systems from working which would have otherwise kept the semi-dormant reactor from overheating and preventing a meltdown (Brook). Since the events of March 11 th the people of the world have been watching with bated breath to see how this nuclear disaster, which is the largest since the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl Ukraine in 1986 [see map # 3], will play out. While there are major differences between the two, the political implications of both events have had major negative impacts on the geo-political relations of the nations where these disasters took place as well as the nations surrounding them, and such negative impacts could have been prevented if redundant safety measures were required and enforced by international law to be planned into all nuclear power plants. To give clarity to this point, the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters will be examined for preventative measures taken and total impact on surrounding populations & environments. First, it must be clarified that the Fukushima disaster is a very different animal from Chernobyl disaster in that the latter was recorded to have released 10 times the amount of radiation for the former, as of the writing of this paper (BBC)."

In many cases, such as in chemical reactions, that's all that matters; in other cases, such as radioactivity, or for nuclear reactions, what happens in the nucleus is critical, and the electrons can be ignored. A nucleus consists of a bunch of protons and neutrons; these are known as nucleons. Each nucleus can be characterized by two numbers: A, the atomic mass number, which is the total number of nucleons; and Z, the atomic number, representing the number of protons. Any nucleus can be written in a form like this:where Al is the element (aluminum in this case), the 27 is the atomic mass number (the number of neutrons plus the number of protons), and the 13 is Z, the atomic number, the number of protons. How big is a nucleus? We know that atoms are a few angstroms, but most of the atom is empty space. The nucleus is much smaller than the atom, and is typically a few femtometers. The nucleus can be thought of as a bunch of balls (the protons and neutrons) packed into a sphere, with the radius of the sphere being approximately: The strong nuclear force What holds the nucleus together?

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Since only two of the transuranium elements have been found in nature (neptunium and plutonium) and those only in trace amounts, the synthesis of these elements through nuclear reactions has been an important source of knowledge about them. That knowledge has expanded scientific understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and makes it possible to predict the existence and basic properties of elements much heavier than any currently known. Present theory suggests that the maximum atomic number could be found to lie somewhere between 170 and 210, if nuclear instability would not preclude the existence of such elements. All these still-unknown elements are included in the transuranium group. Discovery of the first transuranium elements The first attempt to prepare a transuranium element was made in 1934 in Rome, where a team of Italian physicists headed by Enrico Fermi and Emilio Segrè bombarded uranium nuclei with free neutrons."

"text": "\"Nuclear Fusion Power (Updated November 2017)Fusion power offers the prospect of an almost inexhaustible source of energy for future generations, but it also presents so far insurmountable engineering challenges. The fundamental challenge is to achieve a rate of heat emitted by a fusion plasma that exceeds the rate of energy injected into the plasma. The main hope is centred on tokamak reactors and stellarators which confine a deuterium-tritium plasma magnetically. Today, many countries take part in fusion research to some extent, led by the European Union, the USA, Russia and Japan, with vigorous programs also underway in China, Brazil, Canada, and Korea. Initially, fusion research in the USA and USSR was linked to atomic weapons development, and it remained classified until the 1958 Atoms for Peace conference in Geneva. Following a breakthrough at the Soviet tokamak, fusion research became 'big science' in the 1970s. But the cost and complexity of the devices involved increased to the point where international co-operation was the only way forward. Fusion powers the Sun and stars as hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, and matter is converted into energy. Hydrogen, heated to very high temperatures changes from a gas to a plasma in which the negatively-charged electrons are separated from the positively-charged atomic nuclei (ions). Normally, fusion is not possible because the strongly repulsive electrostatic forces between the positively charged nuclei prevent them from getting close enough together to collide and for fusion to occur."

For example, beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron, or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron ( positron emission ), thus changing the nuclide type. Neither the beta particle nor its associated neutrino exist within the nucleus prior to beta decay, but are created in the decay process. By this process, unstable atoms obtain a more stable ratio of protons to neutrons. The probability of a nuclide decaying due to beta and other forms of decay is determined by its nuclear binding energy. The binding energies of all existing nuclides form what is called the nuclear band or valley of stability.

"text": "\"Nuclear Fission A lso known as atomic fission—is a process in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei as fission products, and usually some by-product particles. Hence, fission is a form of elemental transmutation. The by-products include free neutrons, photons usually in the form gamma rays, and other nuclear fragments such as beta particles and alpha particles. Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction and can release substantial amounts of useful energy both as gamma rays and as kinetic energy of the fragments (heating the bulk material where fission takes place). Nuclear fission produces energy for nuclear power and to drive explosion of nuclear weapons. Fission is useful as a power source because some materials, called nuclear fuels, generate neutrons as part of the fission process and undergo triggered fission when impacted by a free neutron. Nuclear fuels can be part of a self-sustaining chain reaction that releases energy at a controlled rate in a nuclear reactor or at a very rapid uncontrolled rate in a nuclear weapon. The amount of free energy contained in nuclear fuel is millions of times the amount of free energy contained in a similar mass of chemical fuel such as gasoline, making nuclear fission a very tempting source of energy; however, the waste products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and remain so for millennia, giving rise to a nuclear waste problem. Concerns over nuclear waste accumulation and over the immense destructive potential of nuclear weapons counterbalance the desirable qualities of fission as an energy source, and give rise to intense ongoing political debate over nuclear power. Physical Overview Nuclear fission differs from other forms of radioactive decay in that it can be harnessed and controlled via a chain reaction: free neutrons released by each fission event can trigger yet more events, which in turn release more neutrons and cause more fissions."

"text": "An isotope is a variant on an element that has a different atomic weight from other variants. Except for the commonest form of hydrogen — which has only a proton — every atomic nucleus in normal matter is made of both protons and neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. They have essentially the same chemical properties, but differ slightly in their physical characteristics, such as melting point and boiling point. Some isotopes are unstable and tend to decay into other elements, giving off subatomic particles or radiation; these are radioactive and are known as radioisotopes. When scientists refer to a particular isotope of an element, the mass number, or the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, appears at the top left, next to the symbol for the element. For example, the form of hydrogen that has a proton and a neutron is written as 2 H. Similarly, 235 U and 238 U are two different isotopes of uranium. These are also commonly written as uranium-235 and uranium-238. The Atomic Nucleus Neutrons are electrically neutral, but protons have a positive electrical charge. Since like charges repel, a nucleus containing more than one proton needs something to prevent these particles from flying apart."

Helium is a noble gas with low reactivity as it has its valence shells satisfied. So as you know it won't react no matter what you do. But what happens in the core of stars is a totally another factor. The pressure and temperature in the core of stars can be i reach billions if not trillions of Pascals and Kelvin respectively. Such high pressure and temperature cause an atom to be stripped of its electrons and form a state called plasma state. Now comes the reaction part. Lab/industrial reactions : When any reactant is made to react there's no change in the overall structure of the atom itself, other than breaking and forming bonds which leads to formation of new compounds.

Reaction coordinate diagrams are derived from the corresponding potential energy surface (PES), which are used in computational chemistry to model chemical reactions by relating the energy of a molecule (s) to its structure (within the Born–Oppenheimer approximation ). The reaction coordinate is a parametric curve that follows the pathway of a reaction and indicates the progress of a reaction.

Qualitatively the reaction coordinate diagrams (one-dimensional energy surfaces) have numerous applications. Chemists use reaction coordinate diagrams as both an analytical and pedagogical aid for rationalizing and illustrating kinetic and thermodynamic events. The purpose of energy profiles and surfaces is to provide a qualitative representation of how potential energy varies with molecular motion for a given reaction or process.

The methods for describing the potential energy are broken down into a classical mechanics interpretation ( molecular mechanics) and a quantum mechanical interpretation. In the quantum mechanical interpretation an exact expression for energy can be obtained for any molecule derived from quantum principles (although an infinite basis set may be required) but ab initio calculations/methods will often use approximations to reduce computational cost. [ 2] [3] Molecular mechanics is empirically based and potential energy is described as a function of component terms that correspond to individual potential functions such as torsion, stretches,bends, Van der Waals energies,electrostatics and cross terms.

A patchwork of state laws provided varying degrees of protection against unethical sales practices, such as misrepresenting the ingredients of food products or therapeutic substances. The history of the FDA can be traced to the latter part of the 19th century and the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Division of Chemistry (later Bureau of Chemistry). Under Harvey Washington Wiley, appointed chief chemist in 1883, the Division began conducting research into the adulteration and misbranding of food and drugs on the American market. Although they had no regulatory powers, the Division published its findings from 1887 to 1902 in a ten-part series entitled Foods and Food Adulterants. Wiley used these findings, and alliances with diverse organizations such as state regulators, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and national associations of physicians and pharmacists, to lobby for a new federal law to set uniform standards for food and drugs to enter into interstate commerce. Wiley's advocacy came at a time when the public had become aroused to hazards in the marketplace by muckraking journalists like Upton Sinclair, and became part of a general trend for increased federal regulations in matters pertinent to public safety during the Progressive Era. [ 1] The 1902 Biologics Control Act was put in place after diphtheria antitoxin was collected from a horse named Jim who contracted tetanus, resulting in several deaths. Much credit is given to the deaths of many people in the 1930s, including Eben Byers in 1932 from the ingestion of radithor and many women, some known as The Radium Girls, to making the FDA into the much more powerful organization we know today.

Politicians focused on passing legislation favoring Florida’s “War on Drugs” have created severe mandatory minimum penalties for drug trafficking offenses. The punishment for drug trafficking in Florida ranges from a minimum of three years to a maximum of a life sentence in prison, depending upon the quantity and type of drug. Originally, Florida Statute 893.135 was enacted with the specific purpose of targeting high level drug dealers, or “traffickers.” This statute provides that if a person is found with a certain quantity of a drug in their possession, the person is considered to be “trafficking” in the drug trade. Such a designation is often unfair. This is particularly true when there is an absence of any evidence suggesting that the person was engaged in the regular sale or delivery of drugs. If you have been arrested for a drug trafficking offense in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or other area of Pinellas County, you need to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Some of the most common drug trafficking charges in Pinellas County include: Trafficking in Oxycodone – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (c)Trafficking in Hydrocodone – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (c)Trafficking in Fentanyl – As described in Florida Statute 893.03 (2) (b)9Trafficking in Carfentanil – As described in Florida Statute 893.03 (2) (b)6Trafficking in Cocaine – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (b)Trafficking in Ecstasy – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (k)Trafficking in GHB – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (h)Trafficking in Marijuana – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (a)Trafficking in LSD – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (l)Trafficking in Heroin – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (c)Trafficking in Methamphetamine – Florida Statute 893.135 (1) (f)Florida Drug Trafficking Penalties Individuals charged with drug trafficking offenses arising out of the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area face severe penalties.

There were no consumer regulations, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA), no Common Rule, and no Institutional Review Board (IRB). What follows is a brief discussion of why federal rules and regulations were established and why the IRB became a necessity. Nuremberg Code. A well-known chapter in the history of research with human subjects opened on December 9, 1946, when an American military tribunal opened criminal proceedings against 23 leading German physicians and administrators for their willing participation in war crimes and crimes against humanity. Among the charges were that German physicians conducted medical experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most of the subjects of these experiments died or were permanently crippled as a result. As a direct result of the trial, the Nuremberg Code was established in 1948, stating that \"\"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential,\"\" making it clear that subjects should give consent and that the benefits of research must outweigh the risks."

Which stimulants are abused? The most widely abused stimulants are cocaine, crack (a pure form of cocaine) and amphetamines. Cocaine has limited commercial use and its sale and possession are strictly controlled. Nevertheless there is a huge worldwide illicit network for the manufacture and supply of this drug in its various forms. Doctors sometimes prescribe pharmaceutical amphetamines and their availability makes them candidates for misuse but powdered amphetamine, manufactured in illicit laboratories, is the most common type of amphetamine to be abused in the UK. Inhalants such as amyl and butyl nitrates are legal at present."

A wave of xenophobia would doom us to a senseless war on drugs Thor Benson , ATTN:07.02.2015 • 8:15 AM • 65 Comments This article originally appeared on ATTN:. It is hard to imagine a time when most pharmacies carried cannabis and farmers were required to grow hemp, much like they are given incentives to grow corn these days, but that is a significant part of the history of the U. S. From the 1600s to the late 1800s, hemp (a cannabis plant containing very little THC) was harvested on U. S. soil to create materials such as rope, paper, and clothing. In 1619, the Virginia Assembly decided to require farmers to grow hemp for these purposes, according to PBS. Hemp was also used as legal tender in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland around that time. During the 1800s, cannabis products became a popular medicinal substance found in tinctures that were sold in many pharmacies across the nation. It became a requirement to label these over-the-counter medicines containing cannabis, including cocaine and heroin, with the Federal Food and Drugs Act of 1906, but these things were still legal. Around 1910, the Mexican Revolution was starting to boil over, and many Mexicans immigrated to the U. S. to escape the conflict. This Mexican population had its own uses for cannabis, and they referred to it as \"\"marihuana.\"\" Not only did they use it for medicinal purposes, but they smoked it recreationally, which was a new concept for white Americans."

Also during this time, Nixon commissioned the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse—known as the Shafer Commission after its chairman, Raymond P. Shafer— to study marijuana abuse in the United States. During his presentation of the commission's findings to Congress, Shafer recommended the decriminalization of marijuana in small amounts, saying, \"\" [T]he criminal law is too harsh a tool to apply to personal possession even in the effort to discourage use."

The Pure Food and Drug act of 1906 is a federal law that mandates for the inspection of meat products and forbids the sales, manufacturing or transportation of poisonous patent medicines and adulterated food products. The Pure Food and Drug Act was the first of more than 200 federal laws that constitute one of the world’s most inclusive and operative networks of consumer protections and public health concerns. The purpose of the Pure Food and Drug Act was to protect the American public from products identified as healthy without a scientific basis or support. The act also aimed to protect against the adulteration of food; the act was implemented to curb the spread of disease and food-induced illnesses. The Pure Food and Drug Act aimed to clean-up the American food and drug industry. At the turn of the 20th century, America’s food supply was enshrouded in unsafe and disgusting practices. Diseases were rampant as American slaughter and packing houses were not regulated nor checked for sanitation purposes. At this time there were now laws permitting the government to inspect these hubs and food processing plants. As a result, these filthy stations processed and packaged food, then shipped the product throughout the country."

Disclaimer: This article is meant to be purely educational—HOPES neither condones nor condemns the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Throughout the past several decades the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes has received increasingly more attention. The active ingredient in marijuana belongs to a class of compounds called cannabinoids, which have been used to treat numerous conditions ranging from insomnia and PMS to chemotherapy -induced nausea and appetite loss associated with AIDS therapy. More recently, cannabinoids have been shown to be effective against motor disturbances in patients with multiple sclerosis. This latter finding points to a potential use of medicinal marijuana to treat movement problems in Huntington’s Disease. While the biochemical and physiological effects of marijuana have been examined in ever more precise ways through scientific research, discussions over the appropriate role of the drug in society have long been mired in social and political controversy. Medical marijuana is currently legal or soon-to-be legal in eighteen states, although these policies conflict with the federal government’s drug laws. The current federal stance on marijuana also places strict limitations on its use in biomedical research. This article will give an overview of marijuana’s use and regulation in United States history, and then address some of the contradictions and controversies over medical marijuana policy today."

Some cannabinoids are psychoactive (acting on the brain and changing mood or consciousness) (see Question 1 ). The use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes dates back to ancient times (see Question 3 ). By federal law, the possession of Cannabis is illegal in the United States outside of approved research settings. However, a growing number of states, territories, and the District of Columbia have enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana (see Question 1 ). In the United States, Cannabis is a controlled substance requiring special licensing for its use (see Question 1 and Question 3 ). Cannabinoids are active chemicals in Cannabis that cause drug -like effects throughout the body, including the central nervous system and the immune system (see Question 2 ). The main active cannabinoid in Cannabis is delta-9-THC. Another active cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD), which may relieve pain, lower inflammation, and decrease anxiety without causing the \"\"high\"\" of delta-9-THC (see Question 2 ). Cannabinoids can be taken by mouth, inhaled, or sprayed under the tongue (see Question 5 )."

The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then between the market and the consumer. In considering industry to market practices, food safety considerations include the origins of food including the practices relating to food labeling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, as well as policies on biotechnology and food and guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification systems for foods."

Food and Drug Law History Share Tweet Linkedin Pin it Email Print From the beginnings of civilization people have been concerned about the quality and safety of foods and medicines. In 1202, King John of England proclaimed the first English food law, the Assize of Bread, which prohibited adulteration of bread with such ingredients as ground peas or beans. Regulation of food in the United States dates from early colonial times. Federal controls over the drug supply began with inspection of imported drugs in 1848, although the first federal biologics law, which addressed the provision of reliable smallpox vaccine to citizens, was passed in 1813. The following chronology describes some of the milestones in the history of food and drug regulation in the United States.1820Eleven physicians meet in Washington, D. C., to establish the U. S. Pharmacopeia, the first compendium of standard drugs for the United States.1848Drug Importation Act passed by Congress requires U. S. Customs Service inspection to stop entry of adulterated drugs from overseas.1862President Lincoln appoints a chemist, Charles M. Wetherill, to serve in the new Department of Agriculture. This was the beginning of the Bureau of Chemistry, the predecessor of the Food and Drug Administration.1880Peter Collier, chief chemist, U. S. Department of Agriculture, recommends passage of a national food and drug law, following his own food adulteration investigations. The bill was defeated, but during the next 25 years more than 100 food and drug bills were introduced in Congress. 1883 Dr. Harvey W. Wiley becomes chief chemist, expanding the Bureau of Chemistry's food adulteration studies. Campaigning for a federal law, Dr. Wiley is called the \"\"Crusading Chemist\"\" and \"\"Father of the Pure Food and Drugs Act.\"\" He retired from government service in 1912 and died in 1930.1897Tea Importation Act passed, providing for Customs inspection of all tea entering U.

The currency is also officially used by the institutions of the European Union and four other European countries, as well as unilaterally by two others, and is consequently used daily by some 337 million Europeans as of 2015.

It was created in 1999, but until 1 January 2002 it was used only for electronic payments. In 2002, 12 countries of the European Union (EU) got rid of their national currencies completely and adopted euro notes and coins as their only money. There was a change-over period, called the \"\"transition period\"\", when both the old national money and the euro were accepted, but by 28 February 2002, all 12 countries were using just euros. In 2007, Slovenia became the 13th country to use the euro. In 2008 Cyprus and Malta became the 14th and 15th countries to use the euro. In 2009, Slovakia became the 16th country to use the euro."

New York: Peter Lang. Chapter 2. All rights reserved]Children's play has been recognized as the major agent in young children's development and learning. Play also serves as an enculturative mechanism (Schwartzman, 1978). Through play children learn societal roles, norms, and values. Despite the limited and narrowed focus of the literature on children's play, several researchers and educators have recently proposed that children's play differs across cultures and socioeconomic status (Roopnarine & Johnson, 1994). As a fundamental concept for developmentally and culturally appropriate practice, we need to understand the dynamics of cultural influence and child development on children's play, particularly in the contexts of family ethnic culture. In this chapter I discuss the inseparable and culturally grounded relation between children's development and their play."

It is also regarded as the value of one country’s currency in relation to another currency. [ 1] For example, an interbank exchange rate of 114 Japanese yen to the United States dollar means that ¥114 will be exchanged for each US$1 or that US$1 will be exchanged for each ¥114. In this case it is said that the price of a dollar in relation to yen is ¥114, or equivalently that the price of a yen in relation to dollars is $1/114. Exchange rates are determined in the foreign exchange market, [2] which is open to a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers, and where currency trading is continuous: 24 hours a day except weekends, i.e. trading from 20:15 GMT on Sunday until 22:00 GMT Friday. The spot exchange rate refers to the current exchange rate. The forward exchange rate refers to an exchange rate that is quoted and traded today but for delivery and payment on a specific future date. In the retail currency exchange market, different buying and selling rates will be quoted by money dealers. Most trades are to or from the local currency. The buying rate is the rate at which money dealers will buy foreign currency, and the selling rate is the rate at which they will sell that currency."

Some companies are even instructing that goods sent from North America to Asia be sent on euro pallets, reflecting the truly global reach of the europallet standard. Why are euro pallets so special? Below are six of the most important facts about europallets and why European companies are asking for them. Should the form below only partially load, please refresh your browser. Advantages of Euro Pallets: Commercial Value: In contrast to stringer and other American pallet types, europallets have significant commercial value for importers, because they can forward them on directly to customers, or exchange them for newly reconditioned europallets. Functionality: Many European warehousing and logistics companies have automated material handling systems that accept only genuine, officially inspected and repaired euro pallets. Companies with these systems incur significant costs and delays when they must transfer products from other pallet types on to euro pallets. Shipments of high-value and/or hazardous goods such as chemicals, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals are often processed at such advanced facilities in Europe. Disposal Taxes: Under the European Union's Packaging Waste Reduction Laws, Germany and other EU nations levy significant disposal taxes on pallets that cannot be reused."

By SPIEGEL Staff March 23, 2015 04:28 PMPrint Feedback Comment May 30, 1941 was the day when Manolis Glezos made a fool of Adolf Hitler. He and a friend snuck up to a flag pole on the Acropolis in Athens on which a gigantic swastika flag was flying. The Germans had raised the banner four weeks earlier when they occupied the country, but Glezos took down the hated flag and ripped it up. The deed turned both him and his friend into heroes. Back then, Glezos was a resistance fighter. Today, the soon-to-be 93-year-old is a member of the European Parliament for the Greek governing party Syriza.

Used to make running shoes, basketball shoes, and almost any other sport shoe, EVA is light weight, resists compression set, is available in almost any color, and is easily formed. EVA is now the most widely used midsole material for shoes. Die cut EVA can be found inside the cheapest discount sneaker, while molded EVA can be found in $200.00 high-end basketball shoes. How is EVA foam made EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) also known as PEVA (poly-ethylene-vinyl acetate), is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. When two plastic types are joined in the same polymer chain, the polymer is called a copolymer. The weight percent of vinyl acetate plastic usually varies from 10% to 40%, with the remainder being ethylene plastic. The amount of vinyl acetate greatly effects the character of the material. Higher quality EVA will have a higher percentage of vinyl acetate while EVA with very little vinyl acetate can be hard, brittle, and feel like cardboard. Ethylene-vinyl acetate is simply a soft plastic, it’s the foaming process or “blowing” of EVA that makes it perfect for a shoe midsole."

So when I read last week in The Independent about a secret cabal to bring down the U. S. Dollar, my enthusiasm for the stars and stripes sagged a little. And I'm sorry to say, thanks to the dollar's recent performance, this isn't the first time I've been let down lately. . . That's because stories like this one pop up often these days.

Unfortunately, the situation we’re in right now is one in which a great many people believe that the words “euro” and “cent” are supposed to be immutable. On the one hand, Directive (EC) No. 1103/97 of 17 June 1997 from the European Council states explicitly: Whereas ... the European Council furthermore considered that the name of the single currency must be the same in all the official languages of the European Union, taking into account the existence of different alphabets.... This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. What this really means is only that every country has to call the currency “euro”, and that no country is allowed to say “We’d rather call it a ‘crown’ or a ‘ducat’.” It means that EURO and ΕΥΡΩ are to appear on the notes. It does not imply anything about the spelling or grammar of the word in ordinary speech or writing. At the same time, however, the English Style Guide of the European Commission Translation Service states:12.12 ... Guidelines on the use of the euro, issued via the Secretariat-General, state that the plurals of both ‘euro’ and ‘cent’ are to be written without ‘s’ in English."

This date was important not only as the history of Euro in its cash form, but this date was also important in the history of Euro as the beginning of centralized monetary policy. With the introduction of Euro, the European Central Bank started implementing monetary policy of the countries which were using the common currency. When looking at the history of Euro, we can see that attempts to create a single currency go back some 20 years."

Labour plays a major role in the functioning of an economy. From the point of view of businesses, it represents a cost (labour costs) that includes not only the wages and salaries paid to employees but also non-wage costs, mainly social contributions payable by the employer. Thus, it is a key determinant of business competitiveness, although this is also influenced by the cost of capital (for example interests on loans and dividends on equity) and non-price elements such as entrepreneurship, skills and labour productivity, innovation and brand/product positioning within markets. As far as employees are concerned, the compensation received for their work, more commonly called wages or earnings, generally represents their main source of income and therefore has a major impact on their ability to spend and/or save. Whereas gross wages/earnings include the social contributions payable by the employee, net earnings are calculated after deduction of these contributions and any amounts which are due to government, such as income taxes. As the amount of taxes generally depends on the situation of the household in terms of income and composition, net earnings are calculated for several typical household situations."

"text": "“Monetary policy and the euro area problem”Twitter facebook linkedin googleplus email Speech by Vítor Constâncio, Vice-President of the ECB, at the 18th Euro Finance Week, Frankfurt, 16 November 2015***The speech points that the euro area problem is part of a predicament shared by other advanced economies: decades of declining economic and productivity growth rates, prolonged periods of low inflation and an untamed financial sector fuelling asset price booms. Policies adopted by the ECB are thus responding to the present situation of low inflation and tepid recovery. Namely, the low level of policy rates is associated with the declining real rate of equilibrium. The worsening of the international economic situation and the low inflation will lead the ECB to reassess its policy stance in December. To face the challenges confronting the euro area, it is recognised that monetary policy cannot address all the problems and that structural reforms and fiscal policy should help to overcome them. *** Ladies and Gentlemen,I am honoured by Mr Maleki’s invitation to speak at the Opening Conference of the 18th Euro Finance Week. In my remarks today I would like to characterise the current economic situation in the euro area. Furthermore, I will address the roles that monetary policy, supply-side reforms and fiscal policies have played – and can play in the future – in shaping this situation. The current economic situation in the euro area The euro area challenges are part of a predicament shared by other advanced economies: decades of declining economic and productivity growth rates, prolonged periods of low inflation and an untamed financial sector fuelling asset price booms. This constitutes a very challenging situation that cannot be solved by one policy area alone, be it monetary policy or any other."

GIC Re has its registered office and headquarters in Mumbai. History [ edit]The entire general insurance business in India was nationalized by the Government of India (GOI) through the General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act (GIBNA) of 1972. 55 Indian insurance companies and 52 other general insurance operations of other companies were nationalized. The General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was formed in pursuance of Section 9 (1) of GIBNA. It was incorporated on 22 November 1972 under the Companies Act, 1956 as a private company limited by shares. GIC was formed to control and operate the business of general insurance in India. The GOI transferred all the assets and operations of the nationalized general insurance companies to GIC and other public-sector insurance companies. After a process of mergers and consolidation, GIC was re-organized with four fully owned subsidiary companies: National Insurance Company Limited, New India Assurance Company Limited, Oriental Insurance Company Limited and United India Insurance Company."

Health Insurance pays for unexpected Hospitalisation expenses of those few insured persons who suffer from illness or injury requiring treatment as inpatient in a Hospital/Nursing Home, out of contributions (Premium) of many insured persons who are exposed to similar health risks. Refer Cashless Claim Guide to understand the process. Scope of Cover The policy is meant to cover only the unexpected Hospitalisation Expenses and not any OR all medical expenses incurred. The objective of the Policy is to cover Hospitalisation expenses for treatment of the ailment/injury requiring in-patient care wherein effective treatment would not have been possible on out-patient basis. If the admission of the patient is primarily for diagnostics and investigation and / or observation and evaluation, the Hospitalisation expenses are not reimbursed. The policy is liable only to meet the expenses that are necessarily and reasonably incurred for treatment of the ailment. There are certain expenses that are not admissible under the Health Insurance Policies, even though they would be necessary medical expenses. Please check the List of Non-admissible Expenses.

"text": "\"Utmost Good Faith in Insurance Contracts Introduction-Insurance contracts are a special class of contracts which are guided by certain basic principles like those of utmost good faith, insurable interest, proximate cause, indemnity, subrogation and contribution. As such, an insurance contract is generally a combination of more than one of these principles and no single principle can be used at one time. The rest is dependent on the contract between the parties. These principles are mostly guided by common law principles from which they have developed. They have also been modified by principles of contract and by statutes as in the case of the Marine Insurance Act, 1963 which has to a certain extent relaxed the basic principles of insurance law. General Principle of Utmost Good Faith Out of all the abovementioned principles, the principle of utmost good faith remains one of the most important doctrines underlying the law of insurance. In Banque Finaciere de la Cite v. Westgate Insurance Co. Ltd., (1989) 2 All ER 982, it was held that-The duty of disclosure is neither contractual, nor tortuous, fiduciary or statutory in character but is founded on the jurisdiction originally exercised by the courts of equity to prevent impositions. The term good faith has been mentioned in the Indian Penal Code and it signifies good intention and due care and caution. However, this principle under insurance law needs to be examined in the contractual context. In every contract in general, both parties owe no positive duty toward each other beyond showing ordinary good faith."

Often, a conglomerate is a multi-industry company. Conglomerates are often large and multinational. Conglomerates were popular in the 1960s due to a combination of low interest rates and a repeating bear-bull market, which allowed the conglomerates to buy companies in leveraged buyouts, sometimes at temporarily deflated values. Famous examples from the 1960s include Ling-Temco-Vought, [1]ITT Corporation, [1] Litton Industries, [1] Textron, [1] Teledyne. [ 1] Because of low interest on the loans, the overall return on investment of the conglomerate appeared to grow. Also, the conglomerate had a better ability to borrow in the money market, or capital market, than the smaller firm at their community bank. ["

( May 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A limited liability partnership ( LLP) is a partnership in which some or all partners (depending on the jurisdiction) have limited liabilities. It therefore exhibits elements of partnerships and corporations. [ 1] In an LLP, each partner is not responsible or liable for another partner's misconduct or negligence. This is an important difference from the traditional unlimited partnership under the Partnership Act 1890 (for the UK), in which each partner has joint and several liability. In an LLP, some partners have a form of limited liability similar to that of the shareholders of a corporation. [ 2] In some countries, an LLP must also have at least one person known as a \"\"general partner\"\" who has unlimited liability of the company. Unlike corporate shareholders, the partners have the right to manage the business directly. ["

If a company with limited liability is sued, then the claimants are suing the company, not its owners or investors. A shareholder in a limited company is not personally liable for any of the debts of the company, other than for the amount already invested in the company and for any unpaid amount on the shares in the company, if any. [ 1] The same is true for the members of a limited liability partnership and the limited partners in a limited partnership. [ 2] By contrast, sole proprietors and partners in general partnerships are each liable for all the debts of the business (unlimited liability). If shares are issued \"\"part-paid\"\", then the shareholders are liable, when a claim is made against the capital of the company, to pay to the company the balance of the face or par value of the shares. Although a shareholder's liability for the company's actions is limited, the shareholders may still be liable for their own acts. For example, the directors of small companies (who are frequently also shareholders) are often required to give personal guarantees of the company's debts to those lending to the company. [ 3] They will then be liable for those debts in the event that the company cannot pay, although the other shareholders will not be so liable. This is known as co-signing."

The first draft-card burners were American men taking part in the opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. The first well-publicized protest was in December 1963, with a 22-year old conscientious objector, Eugene Keyes, setting fire to his card on Christmas Day in Champaign, Illinois. [ 1] In May 1964, a larger demonstration, with about 50 people in Union Square, New York, was organized by the War Resisters League chaired by David Mc Reynolds. [ 2] [3]By May 1965 it was happening with greater frequency around the US. To limit this kind of protest, [4] in August 1965, the United States Congress enacted a law to broaden draft card violations to punish anyone who \"\"knowingly destroys, knowingly mutilates\"\" his draft card. [ 5] Subsequently, 46 men were indicted [6] for burning their draft cards at various rallies, and four major court cases were heard. One of them, United States v. O'Brien, was argued before the Supreme Court. The act of draft card burning was defended as a symbolic form of free speech, a constitutional right guaranteed by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court decided against the draft card burners; it determined that the federal law was justified and that it was unrelated to the freedom of speech."

[ 5] Conscription dates back to antiquity and continues in some countries to the present day under various names. The modern system of near-universal national conscription for young men dates to the French Revolution in the 1790s, where it became the basis of a very large and powerful military. Most European nations later copied the system in peacetime, so that men at a certain age would serve 1–8 years on active duty and then transfer to the reserve force. Conscription is controversial for a range of reasons, including conscientious objection to military engagements on religious or philosophical grounds; political objection, for example to service for a disliked government or unpopular war; and ideological objection, for example, to a perceived violation of individual rights. Those conscripted may evade service, sometimes by leaving the country, [6] and seeking asylum in another country. Some selection systems accommodate these attitudes by providing alternative service outside combat -operations roles or even outside the military, such as 'Siviilipalvelus' (alternative civil service) in Finland, Zivildienst (compulsory community service) in Austria and Switzerland. Most post-Soviet countries conscript soldiers not only for armed forces but also for paramilitary organizations which are dedicated to police -like domestic only service ( Internal Troops) or non- combat rescue duties ( Civil defence troops) – none of which is considered alternative to the military conscription."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom Facts About the Military Draft By Michael Duty; Updated September 29, 2017Protesters march against the military draft. Since its inception in the 1860s, the idea of a military draft or conscription has generated much debate and resistance up to and including protests and \"\"draft dodging.\"\" Its legality and constitutionality have been challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court. Conscription, or \"\"the draft,\"\" is a means for the United States military to call up additional troops when needed for the national defense. History Performers re-enact the United States Civil War on its 150th anniversary date. The draft in the United States began with the Civil War in 1863. It was officially called the \"\"Conscription Act\"\" and was initiated by the Confederacy. Even then, the law created a public outcry, because many believed that compulsory service was an infringement on personal liberty. Furthermore, the Conscription Act had exemptions that allowed the wealthy to escape the draft by paying \"\"commutation\"\" or hiring a substitute. According to civliwarhome.com, the Confederacy would pass three separate Conscription Acts before the Union passed its first in March 1863."

"text": "\"THE CIVIL WAR DRAFT IN PLOVER AND STEVENS POINTA STUDY IN EFFORTS, ATTITUDES, FRUSTRATIONS, AND RESULTS By David Ellison (UWSP)The Civil War brought the first real concerted effort on the part of the federal government to draft men into the armed forces. Both the North and South used the draft, or more accurately, the threat of the draft, to “muster men” into the service. The draft was at times applauded, hated, scorned, but mostly feared. The draft also clearly served its intended purpose - to raise an adequate amount of men to fight in the Union army, mostly through volunteerism. This being the case, I have chosen Plover Wisconsin as the town to discuss in terms of the effects of conscription during the Civil War. Plover is interesting due to the fact that it was a hotbed of patriotism and donated heavily in terms of men to the Union cause. Plover's population in 1860 was 898, while the total population of Portage County was 7,502. Yet, the area suffered more casualties during the Civil War than it did during World War II when the population was four times larger. This area, like so many others across the nation, would never again see the majority of the men they sent to the front. Perhaps the major problem in conducting research on Plover is the non-existence of the Plover Times, or rather the Stanton Times and Republican as it was called during the war years."

The switch has had both positive and negative effects on the military and the nation as a whole, depending on who you ask. Today's fighting force is undeniably better educated and motivated than in the days when much of the enlisted ranks of the Army were filled with conscripts on two-year tours. Nearly all of today's enlisted men and women have at least a high school diploma. Many are college graduates. There is a perception that there are fewer discipline problems than during the Vietnam War-era.

Summary State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts. International and non-international armed conflicts The Statute of the International Criminal Court defines war crimes as, inter alia, “serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict” and “serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in an armed conflict not of an international character”. [ 1] The Statutes of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda and of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and UNTAET Regulation No. 2000/15 for East Timor also provide jurisdiction over “serious” violations of international humanitarian law. [ 2] In the Delalić case in 2001, in interpreting Article 3 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia listing the violations of the laws or customs of war over which the Tribunal has jurisdiction, the Appeals Chamber stated that the expression “laws and customs of war” included all laws and customs of war in addition to those listed in the Article. [ 3] The adjective “serious” in conjunction with “violations” is to be found in the military manuals and legislation of several States. [ 4]There is also practice which does not contain the adjective “serious” with respect to violations and which defines war crimes as any violation of the laws or customs of war. ["

"text": "Politics Senate Votes to Require Women to Register for the Draft By JENNIFER STEINHAUER JUNE 14, 2016443A Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in February on the subject of women in the military. On Tuesday, the Senate approved a military policy bill that would require women to join men in registering for the draft. Mark Wilson/Getty Images Update, April 27, 2017: Since this article was published in June 2016, the military policy bill was restructured and the language requiring women to register for selective service was r emoved. T he bill passed with language calling for a review of the current rules. Read more in our fact check of viral claims to the contrary. WASHINGTON — In the latest and perhaps decisive battle over the role of women in the military, Congress is embroiled in an increasingly intense debate over whether they should have to register for the draft when they turn 18. On Tuesday, the Senate approved an expansive military policy bill that would for the first time require young women to register for the draft. The shift, while fiercely opposed by some conservative lawmakers and interest groups, had surprisingly broad support among Republican leaders and women in both parties. The United States has not used the draft since 1973 during the Vietnam War. But the impact of such a shift, reflecting the evolving role of women in the armed services, would likely be profound."

"text": "\"Effective Army Briefings Posted on July 29, 2013 by pptclass Briefing at a tactical operation center Introduction Briefings are the most efficient and common means to present information to commanders, staffers, Soldiers, or other specified audiences. You conduct briefings when your listeners need information quickly, when they can get together conveniently, and when they need to decide how to act on that information. Briefings are often preferred to written or even electronic communication because they are direct, immediate, and interpersonal. When lives may be at stake and units must carry out the right decisions, most decision makers prefer the immediate physical setting of the military briefing. While this lesson focuses on the development of briefing skills for leaders, you must keep in mind that communication is a two-way process. The speaker has a responsibility to clearly present the material, and this involves knowing the needs and expectations of the audience. But the listener also has responsibilities—not only to listen, but to provide feedback to the speaker to confirm that the message has been received and understood. As you’ll learn in the next section, leaders not only speak, they listen!This section will briefly introduce you to the four basic types of Army briefings. The most fundamental, the information briefing, aims to inform the listener and gain his or her understanding. The second type, the decision briefing, aims to obtain an answer or a decision."

"text": "\"The Constitution The Constitutional Convention is a major transition point in American history between the Revolutionary era and the birth of national republican government. The delegates who met in Philadelphia in 1787 not only fashioned a new form of government to replace the Articles of Confederation, but also submitted their handiwork to the citizens of the individual states for ratification. Long debates marked both stages of this process. On one side were ranged those who argued that survival depended on increasing the efficiency and strength of central government; their opponents, worried more about potential abuses, sought to reserve as much power as possible to the states, where government was closer to the people. The question of military force, in the form of an army, navy, and militia, was a central topic in these debates. In the end, compromise produced a uniquely American solution derived from colonial modifications of a European heritage: a federal system of checks and balances that divided responsibility between the states and the national government, a separation of the latter's powers into executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and a clear subordination of the military to the elected government. Although the delegates who assembled in Philadelphia were acutely aware of the immediate threat raised by Shays' Rebellion, they were determined to lay the foundations for a government that could endure over time. They understood that their work would be judged in the light of history, and used that discipline as a guide. More importantly, however, they understood the nature of American society and took a remarkably pragmatic approach to resolving problems. During the Convention, John Dickinson typified this approach when he warned his colleagues that \"\"Experience must be our only guide; Reason may mislead us.\"\""

By Nick Wing and Christina Wilkie XContent loading President Donald Trump may have attended a military academy, but he apparently never learned how to pick his battles. On Thursday, Trump pushed back against reports that his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, had expressed concern about his attacks on the judiciary. But rather than address the merits of the claims ― that Trump’s barbs at the federal judge who blocked his controversial travel ban were “demoralizing” and “disheartening” ― the president went directly after the source of the reports, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie),now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?— Donald J. Trump (@real Donald Trump) February 9, 2017Although Blumenthal faced questions during his 2010 Senate run for mischaracterizing his military service as being “in Vietnam,” he did serve six years in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve during the Vietnam War. Blumenthal never saw combat, thanks in part to a series of deferments that allowed him to pursue his studies, but he did wear the uniform. The same can’t be said of the president. That must have been lost on Trump, however. That morning, he also attacked Sen. John Mc Cain (R-Ariz.),"

Shoplifting Prevention and Detection The nature and extent of the problem Shoplifting is a major problem for retailers. The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has estimated that the total cost of shoplifting is around $810 million per year, or $110 per incident. This is based on an estimated 7.3 million incidents of shoplifting per year (just over 40 per retailer). However, the true extent of the problem is unknown because not all incidents are detected and/or reported to police. Shops vary in their vulnerability to shoplifting, depending on:the location of the shopthe type of goods sold, andthe shop layout and display features. The fact that shoplifting is so widespread is perhaps not surprising. Shops contain new goods which are attractively packaged and temptingly displayed. In most shops, customers are permitted to handle the goods themselves, and present those they wish to purchase to the shop attendant at the cash register. This self-service sales method can provide an opportunity to conceal goods in clothing or bags."

The trains are fitted with one or more cog wheels or pinions that mesh with this rack rail. This allows the trains to operate on steep grades above around 7 to 10%, which is the maximum for friction-based rail. Most rack railways are mountain railways, although a few are transit railways or tramways built to overcome a steep gradient in an urban environment. The first cog railway was the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, where the first commercially successful steam locomotive, Salamanca, ran in 1812. This used a rack and pinion system designed and patented in 1811 by John Blenkinsop. [ 1]The first mountain cog railway was the Mount Washington Cog Railway in the U. S. state of New Hampshire, which carried its first fare-paying passengers in 1868. The track was completed to reach the summit of Mount Washington in 1869. The first mountain rack railway in continental Europe was the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn on Mount Rigi in Switzerland, which opened in 1871. Both lines are still running."

At the time of the British occupation and colonisation in 1803 the indigenous population was estimated at between 3000 and 10,000. Historian Lyndall Ryan 's analysis of population studies led her to conclude that there were about 7000 spread throughout the island's nine nations; [1] Nicholas Clements, citing research by N. J. B. Plomley and Rhys Jones, settled on a figure of 3000 to 4000. [ 2] The combination of the so-called Black War, internecine conflict and, from the late 1820s, the spread of infectious diseases to which they had no immunity, [3] reduced the population to about 300 by 1833."

At first, you think only of the silence and the rugged beauty of your surroundings. You then realise that it is not silence at all, but rather a lack of background noise. We have learned to screen out the background noise of civilisation and other people, but here in the southwest Tasmanian Wilderness, all this clutter is missing. > Tasmania Wilderness Experience: Southwest National Park By Air With Bushwalk and Harbor Cruise Instead, you can hear the sound of the wind moving in the grass, a single footfall makes a sort of crunching sound, and voices seem to carry incredible distances. Only a true, cool temperate wilderness can affect you like this. Interesting Fact: The only way to access the Southwest Wilderness and Bathurst Harbour without walking days from the end of the road at Strathgordon or Cockle Creek is to take a light aircraft flightseeing tour that includes access to the wilderness. Day, multi-day or half day trips are available. > Tasmania Wilderness Experience: Southwest National Park By Air With Bushwalk and Harbor Cruise A World Heritage Area – Southwest Wilderness Tasmania Evidence has been found that the Southwest Wilderness area of Tasmania was inhabited by the Tasmanian Aborigines up to 25,000 years ago, while the first mapping of the coastline was by Captain James Cook in 1777, though other European explorers visited the area over the previous 200 years. The process of protecting the area for future generations started with the proclamation of the Lake Pedder National Park in 1955, with the Southwest National Park reaching its current size in 1990."

Until the middle of the 1800s, people travelled around the colonies of the Australian continent by horse-drawn transport and by coastal shipping services. From 1854, when the first steam railway between Melbourne and Port Melbourne started, the railway system of the various colonies developed rapidly. Initially all track and rolling stock was imported, although by the 1880s most of the equipment was being made locally. While the railways were operated initially by private companies, a shortage of speculation capital resulted in the continued development of the railways being undertaken by individual colonial governments. The initial purpose of the rail development was to connect the hinterland with the major export seaports which, in most cases, were the capital cities. Planners gave little thought to connecting their railways with the other rail systems. By Federation in 1901, all States except Western Australia were ‘linked’ by rail and more than 20,000 km of track had been laid. Sadly, those who envisaged a nation had not contemplated a national rail network. Three different gauges had been used."

Apart from a few cities and towns, much of Tasmania is pure wilderness and great for hiking and other outdoor activities. Tasmania is an island, with smaller surrounding islands, located 240 kilometres south off the coast of eastern Australia, separated by the Bass Strait. The subantarctic Macquarie Island is also under the administration of the state.edit Geography Tasmania's landmass of 68,401 km2 is located right in the pathway of the notorious \"\"Roaring Forties\"\" wind that encircles the globe. The island is surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Oceans and separated from mainland Australia by Bass Strait. Tasmania is the only Australian state that is not located on the Australian mainland. Tasmania has been volcanically inactive in recent geological times but has many jagged peaks resulting from recent glaciation. Tasmania is the most mountainous state in Australia. The most mountainous region is the Central Highlands area, which covers most of the central western parts of the state. The Midlands located in the central east, is fairly flat, and is predominantly used for agriculture, although farming activity is scattered throughout the state."

The ‘Midlands’ is in the central eastern part and is mainly flat and predominantly used for agriculture and farming. The South West region has lots of forests and the national park there holds some of the last temperate rain forests in the Southern Hemisphere.

HISTORY OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN AUSTRALIA - DNA Magazine, 100th Edition Australia's gay and lesbian history dates back well before the colonial era. As long as there have been humans living on this continent, there have been gay, lesbian and bisexual Australians, writes Andrew M Potts. BEFORE THE COMING OF THE WHITE MEN Indigenous Australia includes hundreds of different clans and peoples, each with their own language or dialect, and each with their own unique cultures and spiritual beliefs that have evolved over the 50,000-plus years their ancestors have inhabited this continent. Before colonisation by Europeans, a wide variety of codes and laws operated across the land mass and islands of Australia. In many tribes, homosexual acts were completely forbidden but among some tribes, similar to practices in ancient Greece, unmarried men entered into sexual relationships with youths with the expectation that the relationships would end once they married. Other groups believed certain people possessed both male and female spirits in one body. The were referred to as \"\"Two-One\"\" people - similar to the concept of \"\"Two Spirit\"\" people in North American Indigenous culture. Because of this, they were allowed to engage in relationships where others would not have been. In some groups, anal sex seems to have been acceptable in male-to-male relationships, but it was forbidden or deeply frowned upon in others."

"text": "GOLD MINING AT LEFROYIn the 1850s gold discoveries in New South Wales and Victoria brought hundreds of thousands of immigrants and great wealth to these colonies. Tasmania missed out on this, and so throughout the 1850s, 60s and 70s the Tasmanian Government encouraged exploration for gold, offering rewards to the first person to discover a payable field. In the hills around Lefroy gold was known to exist in the 1840s, but exploration was discouraged, through fear that the convicts would find out and rebel. The area was then known as Nine Mile Springs. The first person known to discover gold at Nine Mile Springs was Edward Dalley in 1857. In 1858 Constable William Jones and the Rev John Fereday, from George Town, found gold there. In 1863 gold was discovered at the Devil’s Den, north east of Mount Direction. A small rush occurred there but little gold was found. In January 1869 Hannibal Fencker found more gold there and soon some ten parties were prospecting at the Den. Samuel Richards was the first to discover payable gold."

Truganini, the last to survive, is seated at far right. The Aboriginal Tasmanians ( Tasmanian: Palawa) are the indigenous people of the Australian state of Tasmania, located south of the mainland. In the 20th century, the Tasmanian Aboriginal people were widely, and erroneously, thought of as being an extinct cultural and ethnic group. [ 3] The 2016 Australian census reported that 23,572 people (4.6% of the Tasmanian population) identify as Indigenous in Tasmania, the second highest percentage of all states or territories after the Northern Territory's at 25.5%; however, the census makes no distinction between Aboriginal Tasmanian ancestry and mainland Aboriginal Australian ancestry. [ 1]Before British colonisation in 1803, there were an estimated 3,000–15,000 Palawa. [ 4] [a] The Palawa population was severely depleted in the 19th century. A number of historians point to introduced disease as the major cause of the depletion of the 19th-century mainland Aboriginal population. [ 5]: 84–85 [6]: 388 [7]: 66–67 [8]: 372–376 Geoffrey Blainey wrote that by 1830 in Tasmania: \"\"Disease had killed most of them but warfare and private violence had also been devastating.\"\" [ 9] Other historians regard the Black War as one of the earliest recorded modern genocides.

We think she's the best dog in the whole world. She was very easy to housetrain, and was easy to train period. Well behaved as an adult dog, Sydney was very \"\"nippy\"\" as a puppy (not advised for very small children in puppy stage), and was ultra-high energy, but calmed down greatly after puppyhood ended—especially after we realized that she needed a walk every day. She loves to sniff everything during her walks (probably the Beagle in her). If she misses her daily walk, you will regret it. She'll sit on you, your newspaper, or grab whatever you may be working on. She doesn't like to get into the water. Don't know if this is a breed trait, or if it's just her. She's very intelligent."

Caffeine is the most commonly used addictive drug in existence. Many of you have probably never considered it to be a drug, but it certainly is. ( Just Google caffeine and check out the classification box to the right) I’m not saying its a bad drug, caffeine has been found to have positive health effects in moderation and whether you use it is totally up to you. But the fact is is that it is a drug, it is addictive, and I believe your life can significantly improve without it. In my own personal experience, quitting caffeine changed my life. So while I’m not here to tell you what choices to make, I am here to portray the facts so you can make an educated decision. If you’re struggling with fatigue, anxiety or just not feeling awesome and your slugging down the caffeine all day, take a step back, have a read and decide whether going caffeine free is something you need to do. It was for me. So what are the benefits of being caffeine free?"

I got a Jack Russell from the Human Society a few months ago (although, they said he was a Fox terrier mix... i just didn't see that) and I was curious if anybody knew if a long curled tail shows up in the breed or is he a mix maybe? Everything about him is otherwise very Jack Russell from what I've read. Here's a picture of him when I first brought him home at about 5 months old, the best one I've got of his tail. ( No, he was never on that porch without contant supervision). He was extremely calm when we first brought him home.. almost cautious. It had my fiancee and I going \"\"where's the terrier??\"\" lol. Now he's got what I'd call the typical Jack attitude and is super comfortable with his surroundings.

Here's Conway from his start as a scrapping rockabilly to his early hit-making triumphs right up to the cusp of his even more popular change in direction. The first disc collects his 1956 recordings for Sam Phillips in Memphis. Although Conway with his band, the Rock Housers never saw a release on Sun Records, it certainly wasn't for lack of trying. The disc kicks off with his original recording of the band's theme, \"\"Rockhouse,\"\" which became Roy Orbison's second Sun single. Although few titles seemed to survive, several full sessions featuring multiple takes did, and they're here. Disc two is where the hits begin, kicking off with \"\"It's Only Make Believe.\"\" With a career-making tune under his belt, Twitty quickly moved in to a groove of recording teen ballads like \"\"The Story of My Love\"\" while still cutting growly rockers like \"\"I Vibrate (From My Head to My Feet).\"\" Disc three and four continue the trend with the hits \"\"Mona Lisa\"\" and \"\"Danny Boy.\"\" The next two discs find Twitty exploring the 1950s rock & roll catalog, but Conway's move to country is presaged with the inclusion of \"\"Walk On By.\"\""

It is principally white-bodied and smooth, rough or broken-coated but can be any colour. The Jack Russell is frequently confused with the Parson Russell terrier (see the American Kennel Club) and the Russell terrier, which is a shorter-legged, stockier variety. ( Within the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the \"\"Russell terrier\"\" is also known as \"\"Jack Russell terrier\"\".) The term \"\"Jack Russell\"\" is also commonly misapplied to other small white terriers. The Jack Russell is a broad type, with a size range of 10–15 inches (25–38 cm). The Parson Russell is limited only to a middle range with a standard size of 12–14 inches (30–36 cm), while the Russell terrier is smaller at 8–12 inches (20–30 cm). Each breed has different physical proportions according to the standards of their breed clubs. Jack Russells are an energetic breed that rely on a high level of exercise and stimulation and are relatively free from serious health complaints. Originating from dogs bred and used by Reverend John Russell in the early 19th century, from whom the breed takes its name, the Jack Russell has similar origins to the modern Fox terrier."

The esophagus – the tube down which you swallow food and liquids – enters your stomach through a hole in the diaphragm called the hiatus. This is what a hiatal hernia would look like if you could see it!As you might expect, a hiatal hernia occurs when the muscles which surround this hole lose their normal strength, permitting the upper part of your stomach to move up through the diaphragm and enter the chest cavity."

The abdominal contents may or may not be contained within a membrane or sac. The medical name for a hernia repair is herniorraphy. Purpose Umbilical hernias are usually repaired either to relieve discomfort or to prevent complications. It is not always necessary to fix an umbilical hernia. If the person is not in pain, the hernia is often not repaired. Complications may develop if pressure inside the abdomen resulting from daily activity pushes the abdominal contents further through the opening. They may then become twisted or strangulated. Strangulation is a condition in which the circulation to a section of the intestine (or other part of the body) is cut off by compression or constriction; it can cause extreme pain. If the strangulation persists, the tissue can die from lack of blood supply and lead to an infection."

Your muscles are usually strong and tight enough to keep your intestines and organs in place, but a hernia can develop if there are any weak spots. What is an inguinal hernia? An inguinal (pronounced \"\"ingwinal\"\") hernia is the most common type of hernia. It can appear as a swelling or lump in your groin, or as an enlarged scrotum (the pouch containing the testicles). The swelling may be painful. The lump often appears when you're lifting something and disappears when you lie down. What causes an inguinal hernia? An inguinal hernia usually occurs when fatty tissue or a part of your bowel, such as the intestine, pokes through into your groin at the top of your inner thigh."

In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a small balloon-like sac. This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the sac. The hernia can cause severe pain and other potentially serious problems that could require emergency surgery. An epigastric hernia comes through the linea alba between the umbilicus and the bottom end of the sternal bone. These hernias are multiple in 20% of the cases. The defects in epigastric hernias are usually very small and the hernias contain prepeitoneal fat with no peritoneal sac. Occasionally one of these hernias if left untreated can become large and develop a peritoneal sac with abdominal contents contained within the hernia. Both men and women can get an epigastric hernia but men are 2 to3 times more likely to develop this type of hernia."

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

Men usually suffer from inguinal hernias developing in the groin, and may notice an ambiguous discomfort or even a bulge in the scrotum. Infants and children also suffer from inguinal hernias when a part of the lining of the abdominal cavity called the peritoneum does not close properly.

"text": "Hiatal Hernia A hiatal hernia may also be called a hiatus hernia or diaphragmatic hernia. All three terms have essentially the same meaning. What is a hiatal hernia? In order to understand the condition, we must first look at some of the anatomy of the body. Between the abdomen and the chest there is a domed layer of muscle and tendons, the diaphragm; it might be thought of as both the ceiling of the abdominal cavity and the floor of the chest. The esophagus, the passage between the throat and the stomach, is in the chest, above the diaphragm, while the stomach lies below the diaphragm. There is a teardrop shaped opening – a “hiatus”- in the diaphragm, where the esophagus and the stomach join. At this junction there is a marvelously complex valve system that keeps stomach acid down where it belongs and out of the esophagus, which is normally either neutral or alkaline. Now, a hernia is the protrusion of an organ through a wall of the cavity in which it is normally enclosed. In hiatus hernia it is the stomach that protrudes through the hiatus in the diaphragm into the chest cavity."

It is a fairly common condition, and as many as 10 percent of people can develop a hernia in their lifetime and more than 500,000 hernia operations occur yearly in the U. S. It is actually the most common procedure in the U. S. and can be easily performed using laparoscopy. A hernia can be painful and result in a lump – or outpouching – that sticks up from your abdomen, or it can be smaller, soft and without pain. The lump is caused by the organ that has pushed its way through a weak or thin spot in the abdomen – the bowel, the intestine, the bladder or even fatty tissues. People often attempt to push the hernia back in, unfortunately it only ends up recurring at a later date. If proper treatment is not pursued, the hernia can lose its blood supply and become strangulated, thus resulting in a medical emergency. You may already know someone who had a hernia, or have experienced one yourself. They can be quite painful if pressure to the abdomen increases from coughing or lifting, which can actually be the cause of the hernia as well. If you find a lump in your abdomen (or anywhere on your body) you should always consult your physician. Types of abdominal wall hernia There are many types of hernia, some more common than others."

The culture is named for artifacts found near Clovis, New Mexico, where the first evidence of this tool complex was excavated in 1932. Earlier evidence included a mammoth skeleton with a spear-point in its ribs, found by a cowboy in 1926 near Folsom, New Mexico. Clovis sites have since been identified throughout all of the contiguous United States, as well as Mexico and Central America. The Clovis people, also known as Paleo-Indians, are generally regarded as the the first human inhabitants of the New World, and ancestors of all the indigenous cultures of North and South America. However, this view has been recently contested by various archaeological finds which are claimed to be much older. There are a number of controversial sites vying for the position of the earliest site in the region. The best evidence, however, suggests that a society of hunters and gatherers known as Clovis People were the first to settle in the Southwest, probably sometime before 9,500 B. C. The Clovis People were so named after the New Mexico town, site of the first discovery in 1932, near Clovis, N. M. Since the mid 20th century, the standard theory among archaeologists has been that the Clovis people were the first inhabitants of the Americas. The primary support of the theory was that no solid evidence of pre-Clovis human inhabitation has been found. According to the standard accepted theory, the Clovis people crossed the Beringia land bridge over the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska during the period of lowered sea levels during the ice age, then made their way southward through an ice-free corridor east of the Rocky Mountains in present-day western Canada as the glaciers retreated."

They could have easily handwaved this, by saying it's the first movie's characters' descendants, or by not having everyone say that the ice had been there forever (the sloth priestess did say it was lava melting the ice), but they don't even bother explaining the discrepancy. I always thought the first movie took place near the end of the Ice Age. Remember, most of the animals were headed south, where it was warmer, and Manny was moving against the flow which is how he got wrapped-up with the left-behind Sid. After the errand with the human was done, the three of them could've just followed common sense and moved south too. The \"\"Ice Age\"\" wasn't just long stretch of permafrost. It was cyclical. Actually, going by the specific assortment of animals seen (and ignoring the dodos ), it's pretty clear that the film is intended to be set in South America.

The underground wonderland of spectacular Mammoth Cave was formed, and is still being formed, as limestone, also called calcium carbonate, dissolves in water seeping through the ground. This phenomenon is usually found where caves occur. Underneath the topsoil on the hills of southern Kentucky, there are two layers of stone. The upper is a sandstone cap that is 50 feet thick in some places. Like an umbrella, it covers the lower layer, a series of limestone ridges. At places called sinkholes, surface water is able to penetrate the upper sandstone umbrella. As the water works its way downward, the limestone is eroded, forming the honeycomb of underground passageways, amphitheaters, and rooms that make up Mammoth Cave. Many of the cave's internal features, such as stalagmites, stalactites, and columns, were formed this way. These formations build at the rate of about one cubic inch every 100 to 200 years."

"text": "\"Difference Between Mastodon and Mammoth Posted on August 18, 2011 by Naveen Last updated on: August 18, 2011Mastodon vs Mammoth It is fairly a common mistake that many people would understand the enormous and prehistoric mammoth as the same animal as mastodon. There are many differences to identify those two as what they really were. Using the fossil records of mammoths and mastodons, scientists have discovered some significant differences between them, and this article aims to emphasize the most interesting of those findings. Mammoth Mammoth was an enormously built mammal belonged to the extinct genus Mammuthus. Fossil evidences show their close relationship to the modern elephants. One of the most interesting feature of mammoths was their long tusks with a characteristic curve. The length of their tusks was as same as their height, 3 – 5 metres tall. They were massive and largely built animals with an average estimated weight between five and ten tons. Their head was the highest point of the body, in fossils it almost looks like an erected and distinct skull. They were also living in herds as the modern elephants, and those were female matriarchal herds."

"text": "\"Live Science Animals How Woolly Mammoths Survived Arctic Cold By Andrea Thompson | May 3, 2010 08:42am ETMOREWoolly mammoths were driven to extinction by climate change and human impacts. Credit: Mauricio Anton The lumbering, shaggy-haired woolly mammoth once thrived in the frigid Arctic plains despite having originally migrated from a more tropical climate. A new study has found tiny genetic mutations that changed the way oxygen was delivered by its blood could be responsible for its tolerance to the cold climate. The woolly mammoth was an elephantid species and most closely related to today's Asian elephants. It went extinct around 10,000 years ago. But because the mammoth lived in the Arctic, many remains of the species have been found preserved in the permafrost. Ancestors of both the mammoth and Asian elephant originated in Africa around 6.7 million to 7 million years ago and stayed for about 4 million years before moving up into Southern Europe and then farther up into what is now Siberia and the northern plains of Canada around a million years later. At around the same time \"\"a cataclysmic event occurred on Earth — the Ice Ages,\"\" said Kevin Campbell of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, who led the study into the ancient animal's blood, which is detailed in the May 2 online issue of the journal Nature Genetics. Mammoths, like their elephant cousins of today, would have been adapted to the warm climate they evolved in. In these climates, an elephant's biggest problem is getting rid of heat -- they do this with their big ears, through which many heat-porting blood vessels circulate."

What’s the difference? Aren’t they just furry Elephants? What sets them a part? Aren’t they the same thing? So to answer these questions, I will explain the differences._________________________________________________________________________________There is a number of different Mammoths and Mastodon species that diverged from the Asian Elephant after the latter group split up from the African Elephant. They are all mammals, and belong to a species called Proboscideans. From the Mastodon, two Asian and African Elephants evolved. Probably the most popular species of the four would be the Woolly Mammoth, or mammuthus primigenius, this is because of their broad geographic distribution, adaption to cold environments, and relative advances during the last ice age."

In his 1979 book The Source of Magic, Piers Anthony describes an explorer who suddenly finds himself in the presence of cats, which, until that moment, he had believed to be an extinct species. Anthony writes, “ [The explorer] just stood there and stared at this abrupt de-extinction, unable to formulate a durable opinion.” I imagine this is precisely how many of us might react to our first encounter with a living version of something we thought was extinct. The idea that de-extinction may actually be possible—that science could advance to the point where extinction is no longer forever—is both exhilarating and terrifying, even to me. I am a biologist. I teach classes and run a research laboratory at the University of California at Santa Cruz. My lab specializes in a field of biology called ancient DNA. We and other scientists working in this field develop tools to isolate DNA sequences from bones, teeth, hair, seeds, and other tissues of organisms that used to be alive. We then use those sequences to study ancient populations."

"text": "\"Ice Free Corridors? Two glacial ice sheets covered North America during the last glaciation of the Pleistocene. The \"\"Laurentide\"\" ice sheet extended from the Atlantic seaboard, across the southern shores of the Great Lakes and into Alberta. In the west a \"\"Cordilleran\"\" ice sheet covered the seaboard mountains in British Columbia and, by 14,500 years ago, extended down the Pacific coast to about 30 miles south of Seattle. These two glacial ice sheets were periodically joined together stopping migrations of animals and humans through Beringia into southern Canada and the United States. For at least 10,000 years after 25,000 years ago, great icy barriers would have limited travel between Beringia and North America south of Alaska. However, at other times during the late Pleistocene, the dates are uncertain, an ice-free corridor was possible through the major river valleys coming from the Rocky Mountains where the \"\"Cordilleran\"\" glacial ice did not meet the western edge of the \"\"Laurentide\"\" glacial ice. Perhaps the important question is not whether the ice sheets allowed travel from Beringia into Canada and the United States, but whether resources existed in this passage between the ice sheets to support animal and human life. As on the Bering Land Bridge, the climate in this possible corridor would have been brutally cold and windy; a difficult country even at favorable times of the year. Blocking passage would be large, biologically sterile, cold meltwater lakes which had formed at the margins of the ice sheets."

Video footage courtesy University of Michigan PUBLISHED October 7, 2015The discovery of a nearly complete mammoth skeleton last week in Michigan raises the question of not only this animal's fate, but also what happened to the rest of the woolly mammoths. Did humans drive the Ice Age’s great beasts to extinction? In news reports, University of Michigan paleontologist Dan Fisher proposed that prehistoric people killed and butchered the newly found mammoth, refrigerating what they didn’t immediately eat by sinking the rest of the carcass in a frigid lake. Other scientists say we can't be certain what killed the creature until the bones are examined for cut marks and other clues. As for the rest of the woolly mammoths, whether humans are to blame for their disappearance, as well that of 36 other North American mammal species that went extinct at the end of the Ice Age, remains hotly disputed.

The Mammoths were endowed with large tusks which were used for \"\"dominance rituals\"\" as well as defense and rooting out food. Mammoths were grazers and probably lived in herds for protection from predators. With larger fore-legs than back legs, Woolly Mammoths had a more upright posture than many other four legged mammals.

The Huns may have lived in northern China during the Han Dynasty ( 200-1 BC ). Maybe they decided to leave China and look for a better place to live. They divided into two groups, a small group and a big group. The small group went south, towards India. But the main group went north-west to Siberia. These Xiongnu, or Huns , gradually crossed Russia. Like the Persians and the Parthians before them, they may have been driven to move on by bad weather in Siberia, which left them without enough grass for their cattle to eat. By 350 AD the Huns were already crossing the steppes toward Europe, pushing the Scythians before them."

Animated map of the Roman Republic and Empire between 510 BCE and 530 CE Republic Empire Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire Western Empire The Fall of the Western Roman Empire (also called Fall of the Roman Empire or Fall of Rome) was the process of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities. The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control over the West; modern historians mention factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperors, the internal struggles for power, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from barbarians outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure. [ 1] [2]Relevant dates include 117 CE, when the Empire was at its greatest territorial extent, and the accession of Diocletian in 284. Irreversible major territorial loss, however, began in 376 with a large-scale irruption of Goths and others."

But by A. D. 476, the traditional date of the empire’s “fall,” the “invaders” had long been essential parts of the Roman administration and army. As a result, the fall was less catastrophic and affected the Roman population less than is typically imagined. The new “barbarian” leader was even commended by the emperor in Constantinople. The Whole Bushel A big part of this myth depends on whether or not the Roman Empire actually fell in A. D. 476, which it is easily argued it didn’t. The Eastern, or Byzantine, half survived for another 1,000 years after the “fall.” Yes, the city of Rome did fall to a tribe of marauding Germans called Vandals. But, as far big deals go, Rome being sacked (again) was a minor blip on the Mediterranean radar.

D. onwards plague epidemics depopulated and weakened the Roman Empire, forcing it both to relinquish efforts to maintain control over conquered peoples, as well as resort to a fundamentally simpler system of organisation. This meant that the extensive administrative and military infrastructure with Rome at its core had to be reduced, leading to a smaller administration and weakened armies. Tribes whose attacks on the Empire had previously been thwarted were now achieving success in penetrating the defenses, so that around 406 A. D. the northern region of the Empire had to be abandoned, followed soon afterwards by other areas. Inhabitants of the regions that were rid of Roman rule returned to the old patterns of life, meaning that once again the entire population -apart from warriors and priests- had to contribute to the primitive production necessary for survival. The economy stagnated, trade and artisanship diminished and the population no longer grew. The period lasting from the 4th until the 7th century A. D. has been called the period of the Migration of the Nations, reflecting the extensive migration of many groups. This period was essential in shaping the distribution of cultures in Europe and laying the foundations of future nations. Most tribes found a fixed place to live, and in doing so formed the roots of the European States. Examples are the Franks and Burgundians in France, and the Angles and Saxons in England. The invasions of the Germans in the 4th and 5th century shaped Europe in a fundamental way."

This strategy involves using the Teutons because of their cheaper farms. Many other civs are viable also but because of the teuton''s farm bonus, it enables you to have less woodcutters, or more farmers. This strategy is specifically for pocket players only. You can risk using this strategy if you were on the sides, but that would be a big risk. What you need:4 sheep + bonus 2 sheep, don''t really need the other bonus sheep but you can if you want2 boars. Don''t need to hunt deer, but if they are close, you can hunt them. Berry bush. The build up: Well, its just like most build ups;6 on sheep, 1 forager, 2 woodcutters and 1 house builder/boar lurer are the first set of villagers By 10 minutes, you should have achieved the following: * 26/30 population * 14 villagers on food * 11 villagers on wood * + scout (or something like that)You want to mine gold after the 10 minute mark too... trust me, you will need it."

"text": "Why the West? For the century since Diocletian, generally capable and energetic emperors had ruled the empire. However, the death of Theodosius the Great in 395 C. E. marked a turning point in Roman history as the Western half of the empire steadily slipped into oblivion. There were several reasons why the West fell and the East survived. First of all, the East, with its older civilizations and more established trade routes, was considerably richer than the West, so it could buy off the barbarians until it found the strength to fight them. The second factor was the barbarization of the Roman army. Depopulation and centuries of peace made it hard to get enough qualified recruits for the army. As a result, the Romans had turned more and more to enlisting Germanic tribesmen in their ranks. In the East, there were still areas where good native recruits could be found to balance out the number of barbarians. The West, having few good native recruits, relied more heavily on Germanic recruits."

It's not just that they compelled the Goths to enter Roman territory late in the fourth century. The Huns were a very formidable force in their own right.

Like the Goths and Attila's Huns, the Vandals helped bring about the Roman Empire’s decline. Who were the Vandals ? Vandal was a Germanic people belonging to the family of East Germans. The term “Vandilii” is used by Tacitus in his Germania. They settled between the Elbe and Vistula. At the time of the Marcomannic War (166-81 AD) they lived in what is now Silesia. During the 3rd century when the Roman Empire was in crisis with many powerful enemies at their borders, the Vandals and their ally Sarmatians did invade the Roman territory along upper Rhine river in AD 270. About AD 271 AD the Roman Emperor Aurelian was obliged to protect the middle course of the Danube against them. In AD 330 they were granted lands in Pannonia on the right bank of the Danube by Constantine the Great."

Musical landmarks While there was some ambivalence with regard to the quality of the music of 1953, there should be no such doubt about 1951 with musical landmarks like Awaara (Shankar Jaikishan), Albela (C Ramchandra), Deedar (Naushad), Malhar (Roshan), Bahaar, Baazi, Naujawan and Saza (SD Burman) and Aaram and Tarana (Anil Biswas). SJ had stormed the music scene with their debut with RK banner two years ago with Barsaat. They were young, in sync with Raj Kapoor’s musical sensibility; they had Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar in their 20s, and a new team of lyricists Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri. If Raj Kapoor was the master of weaving dreamy romance with social message, SJ clothed that with their lilting music. Awara hun became an international rage and made Raj Kapoor the cultural ambassador of India to Soviet Union and several other countries. C Ramchandra was a maverick in music."

"text": "\"What is Hellenism, and how did it influence the early church? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is Hellenism, and how did it influence the early church?\"\" Answer: Hellenism is the term used to describe the influence of Greek culture on the peoples the Greek and Roman Empires conquered or interacted with. Upon the Jews' return from exile in Babylon, they endeavored to protect their national identity by following the law closely. This led to the rise of the hyper-conservative Pharisees and their added, unnecessary laws. About one hundred years after the Jews returned, Alexander the Great swept across western Asia, extending his territory from his native Greece, down into Egypt, and east to the border of India. The influence of the Greek culture continued past the first century B. C., when the Roman Empire took control of Israel. The Pharisees' rival sect, the Sadducees, welcomed the Greek influence. The Sadducees were wealthy, powerful Jewish aristocrats who openly worked with their Gentile rulers to maintain peace and ensure a measure of political clout. All Jews were influenced by Greek culture, however."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture Why Were the Ancient Greeks Called Hellenes? The story has nothing to do with Helen of Troy. Share Flipboard Email Printby N. S. Gill Updated July 09, 2017If you read any ancient Greek history, you'll see references to the \"\"Hellenic\"\" people and to the \"\"Hellenistic\"\" period. These references actually describe only a relatively brief period of time between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and the defeat of Egypt by Rome in 31 BCE. Egypt, and particularly Alexandria, came to be the center of Hellenism. The end of the Hellenistic World came when the Romans took over Egypt, in 30 B. C., with the death of Cleopatra. Origin of the Name Hellene The name comes from Hellen who was not the woman famed from the Trojan War (Helen of Troy), but the son of Deucalion and Pyrrha. According to Ovid's Metamophoses, Deucalion and Pyrrha were the only survivors of a flood similar to the one described in the story of Noah's Ark. To repopulate the world, they throw stones which turn into people; the first stone they throw becomes their son, Hellen. Hellen, the male, has two l's in his name; whereas Helen of Troy has only one. Ovid did not come up with the idea of using the name Hellen to describe the Greek people; according to Thucydides: Before the Trojan war there is no indication of any common action in Hellas, nor indeed of the universal prevalence of the name; on the contrary, before the time of Hellen, son of Deucalion, no such appellation existed, but the country went by the names of the different tribes, in particular of the Pelasgian."

"text": "\"Hellenism is the term generally used by historians to refer to the period from the death of Alexander the Great (323 B. C. E.) to the death of Cleopatra and the incorporation of Egypt in the Roman Empire in 30 B. C. E. Egypt was the last important survivor of the political system which had developed as a consequence both of the victories of Alexander and of his premature death. The word Hellenism is also used to indicate more generically the cultural tradition of the Greek-speaking part of the Roman Empire between Augustus and Justinian and/or the influence of Greek civilization on Rome, Carthage, India, and other regions which were never part of the empire of Alexander. Finally, Hellenization is used with reference to Judea, Persia, etc. to indicate the penetration of elements of Greek civilization into territories which, though subject to Greco-Macedonian rule for a certain period of time, preserved their national culture with conspicuous success. The words Hellenism and Hellenistic have a long history in which the text of the Acts of the Apostles 6:1 plays a central part because it opposes Hebraioi to Hellenistai. At least from the 16 th century onward (J. Scaliger) this text was interpreted to imply a contrast between Jews who used Hebrew and Jews who used Greek in the synagogue service. D. Heinsius developed the notion that Jewish Hellenistai used a special Greek dialect (lingua hellenistica), which is reflected in the Septuagint translation of the Bible. C. Salmasius denied the existence of such a special dialect (1643), but the notion of a special lingua hellenistica to indicate the Greek of the Old and New Testaments remained in circulation until the middle of the 19 th century. In the 18 th century in Germany, J. G. Herder used Hellenismus to indicate the way of thinking of Jews and other Orientals who spoke Greek. In 1820 in France J. Matter specifically connected the word Hell énisme with the thought of the Greek-speaking Jews of Egypt."

Modern scholars distinguish the phase of Greek civilization which followed Alexander’s conquests from the earlier, Classical age by giving it the label “Hellenistic”: that period when Greek civilization spread right across the Middle East and beyond and in the process was subtly changed by its interaction with the cultures of the conquered populations. Advances in Greek art, philosophy and science continued apace, and some of the greatest names of Greek civilization, such as Euclid and Archimedes, belong to this period. Nevertheless, Hellenistic civilization represents something of a fusion of many cultures. In government, religion, thought and art, elements from different traditions are mingled together in a fascinating melange. Alexander the Great and his Successors Alexander, king of Macedon, invaded the Persian empire in 334 BCE with an army composed of troops from all over Macedonia and Greece. Ten years later he had completed the conquest of this empire, and more; he had even brought parts of India under his rule."

This article contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols. A barbarian is a human who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. The designation is usually applied as generalization based on a popular stereotype; barbarians can be any member of a nation judged by some to be less civilized or orderly (such as a tribal society ), but may also be part of a certain \"\"primitive\"\" cultural group (such as nomads) or social class (such as bandits) both within and outside one's own nation. Alternatively, they may instead be admired and romanticised as noble savages. In idiomatic or figurative usage, a \"\"barbarian\"\" may also be an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, and insensitive person. [ 1]The term originates from the Greek: βάρβαρος ( barbaros pl. βάρβαροι barbaroi ), which in turn originates from the incomprehensible languages of early Anatolian nations that were heard by the Greeks as \"\"bar..bar..\"\" In Ancient Greece, the Greeks used the term towards those who didn't speak Greek and follow classical Greek customs. [ 2] In the early modern period and sometimes later, the Byzantine Greeks used it for the Turks, in a clearly pejorative manner. ["

"text": "Greece is a country in southeastern Europe, known in Greek as Hellas or Ellada, and consisting of a mainland and an archipelago of islands. Ancient Greece is the birthplace of Western philosophy ( Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle ), literature ( Homer and Hesiod ), mathematics ( Pythagoras and Euclid ), history ( Herodotus ), drama ( Sophocles, Euripedes, and Aristophanes ), the Olympic Games, and democracy. The concept of an atomic universe was first posited in Greece through the work of Democritus and Leucippus. The process of today's scientific method was first introduced through the work of Thales of Miletus and those who followed him. The Latin alphabet also comes from ancient Greece, having been introduced to the region by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE, and early work in physics and engineering was pioneered by Archimedes, of the Greek colony of Syracuse, among others. Mainland Greece is a large peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea (branching into the Ionian Sea in the west and the Aegean Sea in the east) which also comprises the islands known as the Cyclades and the Dodecanese (including Rhodes ), the Ionian islands (including Corcyra ), the isle of Crete, and the southern peninsula known as the Peloponnese. The geography of Greece greatly influenced the culture in that, with few natural resources and surrounded by water, the people eventually took to the sea for their livelihood. Mountains cover eighty percent of Greece and only small rivers run through a rocky landscape which, for the most part, provides little encouragement for agriculture. Consequently, the early ancient Greeks colonized neighboring islands and founded settlements along the coast of Anatolia (also known as Asia Minor, modern day Turkey ). The Greeks became skilled seafaring people and traders who, possessing an abundance of raw materials for construction in stone, and great skill, built some of the most impressive structures in antiquity."

We need to examine this issue, since the modern Greeks repeatedly argue that they are direct ethnic descendants of the ancient Greeks and Macedonians. The fact is that the ethnic, linguistic, and cultural developments that these invasions created simply built upon similar movements of peoples into and out of the Balkans in the ancient past. THE MYTH OF GREEK ETHNIC PURITYGreek writers give a great deal of emphasis to the idea of Greek racial purity. For instance, in speaking of the movements of Germanic tribes in the Balkans before the Slavs, the writer of Macedonia History and Politics says that the Goths were beaten off and the invasions in the fourth century did not lead to \"\"ethnological adulteration.\"\" In speaking about more modern times the writer says (p. 43), \"\"Greece became involved in the 'Macedonian disputes,' because of political pressure from the Bulgarians and Yugoslavs, and because of the sensitivity of the Greeks towards the historical continuity of their race.\"\" Clearly this view about racial purity amongst the Greeks, presented here in a magazine distributed by the Greek government in English-speaking countries, is important to the Greeks. Macedonia has been represented as a buffer protecting Hellenism from the waves of the barbarians throughout the centuries. Thus it is argued by modern Greeks that the area of the present-day Republic of Macedonia was affected by these barbarian invasions, but the lands that are now Greece were largely unaffected.

Yet heterogeneous as the force was, most all of them were veterans of two decades of continuous warfare. It was a cohesive army built for speed and shock, and it answered to one man and one will — Hannibal of Carthage. Swift light cavalry from the desert plains of Numidia screened the main body from curious or hostile eyes. Past this barrier the army stretched for miles: massed squadrons of Iberian cavalry and infantry; mercenary Balearic Islanders, trained from childhood in the art of the sling; archers; javelin men from the tribes of North Africa; mighty elephants plodding forward like mobile watchtowers; veteran Libyan spearmen — more than 80,000 men all told. Hannibal Barca of Carthage had brought this army to the banks of the Ebro in a fateful year, 218 bc. Ten years earlier, the Senate and people of Rome had forbidden the Carthaginians to cross that river on pain of war. Now nothing could please Hannibal more. The young general was resolved not only to cross the Ebro but also to conduct an epic march across the Pyrenees, on through Gaul, over the Alps and into Italy to threaten Rome itself. The Romans later believed that Hannibal’s father, Hamilcar Barca, had bequeathed this plan to invade Italy to his son."

An 18th century socio-racial classification system used in the Spanish American colonies. The European conquest of Latin America beginning in the late 15th century, was initially executed by male soldiers and sailors from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). The new soldier-settlers fathered children with Amerindian women and later with African slaves. These mixed-race children were generally identified by the Spanish colonist and Portuguese colonist as “Castas”. The subsequent North American fur trade during the 16th century brought many more European men, from France and Great Britain, who took North Amerindian women as wives. Their children became known as “Métis” or “Bois-Brûlés” by the French colonist and “mixed-bloods”, “half-breeds” or “country-born” by the English colonist and Scottish colonist. Casta is an Iberian word (existing in Spanish, Portuguese and other Iberian languages since the Middle Ages), meaning “lineage”, “breed” or “race.” It is derived from the older Latin word castus, “chaste,” implying that the lineage has been kept pure. Casta gave rise to the English word caste during the Early Modern Period."

The Second Punic War was one of the deadliest human conflicts of ancient times. Regarded by ancient historians as the greatest war in history, waged with unparalleled resources, skill and hatred, [2]: 21.1 it saw hundreds of thousands killed, some of the most lethal battles in military history, the destruction of cities and massacres and enslavements of civilian populations and prisoners of war by both sides. The war began with the Carthaginian general Hannibal 's conquest and destruction of the Roman -allied Iberian city of Saguntum in 219 BC, prompting a Roman declaration of war on Carthage in 218. Hannibal surprised the Romans by marching his army overland from Iberia to cross the Alps and invade Roman Italy, followed by his reinforcement by Gallic allies and crushing victories over Roman armies at Trebia in 218 and on the shores of Lake Trasimene in 217. Moving to southern Italy in 216, Hannibal at Cannae annihilated the largest army the Romans had ever assembled, killing or capturing more than 67,000 Roman soldiers. After the death or imprisonment of 130,000 Roman troops in two years, 40% of Rome's Italian allies defected to Carthage, giving her control over most of southern Italy. Macedon and Syracuse joined the Carthaginian side after Cannae and the conflict spread to Greece and Sicily. The Carthaginian navy was built up in the early years of the war and from 215–210, the Carthaginian army and navy launched amphibious assaults to capture Roman Sicily and Sardinia but were ultimately repulsed. Against Hannibal's skill on the battlefield, the Romans adopted the Fabian strategy - the avoidance of battle against Hannibal and defeating his allies and the other Carthaginian generals instead."

[ 4] Hamilcar Barca (Barca meaning lightning), [5] a leading member of the Patriotic party in Carthage and a general who operated with ability in the course of the First Punic War, sought to remedy the losses that Carthage had suffered in Sicily to the Romans. [ 6] In addition to this, the Carthaginians (and Hamilcar personally) [7] were embittered by the loss of Sardinia. After the loss of the war to the Romans, the Romans imposed terms upon the Carthaginians that were designed to make Carthage a tribute-paying city to Rome and simultaneously strip it of its fleet. [ 8] While the terms of the peace treaty were harsh, the Romans did not strip Carthage of her strength; Carthage was the most prosperous maritime trading port of its day, and the tribute that was imposed upon them by the Romans was easily paid off on a yearly basis while Carthage was simultaneously engaged by Carthaginian mercenaries who were in revolt. [ 8]The Carthaginian patriot party was interested in conquering Iberia, a land whose variety of natural resources would fill its coffers with sorely needed revenue [9] and replace the riches of Sicily that, following the end of the First Punic War, were now flowing into Roman coffers. In addition, it was the ambition of the Barcas, one of the leading noble families of the patriotic party, to some day employ the Iberian peninsula as a base of operations for waging a war of revenge against the Roman military alliance. Those two things went hand in hand, and in spite of conservative opposition to his expedition, Hamilcar set out in 238 BC [9] [10] [11] to begin his conquest of the Iberian peninsula with these objectives in mind."

Description The Iberian Peninsula, predominately occupied by the European countries of Spain and Portugal, lies in southwestern Europe. With an area of 582,000 square kilometers, its is the third largest peninsula in the continent. The north-eastern boundary of the peninsula is formed by the Pyrenees mountain range, which separates the region from the rest of Europe. The Atlantic Ocean lies to the north, west, and southwest of the peninsula, while the Mediterranean Sea washes the shores of its eastern and southern coastlines. The Strait of Gibraltar separates the Iberian Peninsula from the African landmass. Historical Role Scientists estimate that the Iberian Peninsula has been inhabited for some 1.2 million years. Neanderthals lived here during the Lower Palaeolithic Period, while the modern humans migrated into the peninsula around 40,000 years ago from Southern France."

The word was also used more generally in Europe to refer to anyone of Arab or African descent, sometimes called Blackamoors. The name Moors derives from the ancient tribe of the Maure and their kingdom Mauretania. Andalusia under Muslim rule produced a society in which culture and science and learning flourished. Muslims, Jews and Christian co-existed in a spirit of mutual tolerance. Much scholarship from this period impacted on European learning, especially via such people as Roger Bacon and Thomas Aquinas. The Fall of Granada in 1492 saw the end of the Muslim presence in Andalusia. This event has had a global impact, giving impetus to the Spanish conquest of the New World inspired by their triumph over the Muslims, which they understood as enjoying God's blessing. What has been described as the Andalusian paradigm suggests that conflict and rivalry is not inevitable for plural societies, that people of different faiths can co-existence and enjoy creative intellectual and cultural exchange."

"text": "\"Punic Wars The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. At the time, they were probably the largest wars that had ever taken place, much like today's World Wars. The term Punic comes from the Latin word Punicus (or Poenicus), meaning \"\"Carthaginian\"\", with reference to the Carthaginians' Phoenician ancestry. The main cause of the Punic Wars was the fight of interests between the existing Carthaginian Empire and the expanding Roman Republic. The Romans were initially interested in expansion via Sicily (which at that time was a cultural melting pot), part of which lay under Carthaginian control. At the start of the first Punic War, Carthage was the dominant power of the Western Mediterranean, with an extensive maritime empire, while Rome was the rapidly ascending power in Italy, but lacked the naval power of Carthage. By the end of the third war, after more than a hundred years and the loss of many hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides, Rome had conquered Carthage's empire and completely destroyed the city, becoming the most powerful state of the Western Mediterranean. With the end of the Macedonian wars - which ran concurrently with the Punic Wars - and the defeat of the Seleucid King Antiochus III the Great in the RomanÐSyrian War (Treaty of Apamea, 188 BC) in the eastern sea, Rome emerged as the dominant Mediterranean power and one of the most powerful cities in classical antiquity. The Roman victories over Carthage in these wars gave Rome a preeminent status it would retain until the 5th century AD. Background During the mid-3rd century BC, Carthage was a large city located on the coast of modern Tunisia."

"text": "Surprising facts about climate change in Portugal: Why the climate catastrophe is not happening Guest Blogger / August 5, 2014By Sebastian Lüning and Fritz Vahrenholtwww.kaltesonne.de As Portugal came out of its second unusually wet winter in a row, some people already fear these could be the first signs of global climate change. Can the seemingly endless rainy period be blamed on ourselves because we are driving our cars to work, heating and air-conditioning our homes, and flying on holidays or on business to Brazil? Undoubtedly the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration has been steadily increasing over the past 150 years. In its latest report released last September the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned of dire consequences should CO 2 -emissions not be drastically curtailed in the near future. Among the contributors to the IPCC report were also two Portuguese academics, Dr Pedro Viterbo, Director at the Portuguese Instituto de Meteorologia, and Professor Filipe Duarte Santos of the Lisbon University’s Faculty of Sciences, both serving as review editors for the IPCC. In conjunction with the report’s launch Santos warned that Portugal would be among the European countries most vulnerable to climate change. He suggested that the country in the future will suffer from more extreme weather events like heat-waves and droughts, which in turn will lead to more forest fires and reduced agricultural output. Santos prognosis sees an overall drop in rainfall but with the threat of short bursts of torrential rains that will raise the risk of flooding. Moreover, the Lisbon-based professor expects sea level to rise by more than half a metre before the end of this century, which would put two thirds of Portugal’s coastline at risk for a loss of terrain. But is it really so?"

He kept his army intact and led a successful guerrilla war against the Romans in Sicily. Hamilcar retired to Carthage after the peace treaty in 241 BC, following the defeat of Carthage. When the Mercenary War burst out in 240 BC, Hamilcar was recalled to command and was instrumental in concluding that conflict successfully. Hamilcar commanded the Carthaginian expedition to Spain in 237 BC, and for eight years expanded the territory of Carthage in Spain before dying in battle in 228 BC.

In Britain, Celtic warriors overran and conquered the islands. The Celts were a member of an early Indo-European people who from the 2nd millennium BC to the 1st century BC spread over much of Europe. Their tribes and groups eventually ranged from the British Isles and northern Spain to as far east as Transylvania, the Black Sea coasts, and Galatia in Anatolia and were in part absorbed into the Roman Empire as Britons, Gauls, Boii, Galatians, and Celtiberians. Linguistically they survive in the modern Celtic speakers of Ireland, Highland Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, and Brittany. The oldest archaeological evidence of the Celts comes from Hallstatt, Austria, near Salzburg. Excavated graves of chieftains there, dating from about 700 BC, exhibit an Iron Age culture (one of the first in Europe), which received in Greek trade such luxury items as bronze and pottery vessels. It would appear that these wealthy Celts, based from Bavaria to Bohemia, controlled trade routes along the river systems of the Rhône, Seine, Rhine, and Danube and were the predominant and unifying element among the Celts.

They were explicitly mentioned as being Celts by several classic authors (e.g. Strabo [1] ). These tribes spoke the Celtiberian language and wrote it by adapting the Iberian alphabet.

Although a significant proportion of Moriscos returned to Spain or avoided expulsion through various means, and the decree never affected the country's large enslaved Muslim population, the indigenous practice of Islam had faded into obscurity by the 19th century. [ 1]Nevertheless, throughout modern history there has always been a constant presence of Muslims in Spain, many of which were former slaves (known as 'moros cortados') freed in the early 18th century. Furthermore, Spain's proximity to North Africa and its small land border with the Kingdom of Morocco (as well as a colonial presence in North Africa lasting between 1912 and 1975) made Muslim presence in Spain possible. Moroccan Muslims played a significant role in Spain's Civil War (1936-1939), fighting on the National side, including a Lieutenant General Mohamed Meziane, a close friend of General Francisco Franco, who later became Captain General of Ceuta, Galicia and the Canary Islands during his post-war career. Moroccans did not require a visa to enter Spain until 1985. This however changed with Spain's growing economic development and its entry into the European Union, after which stricter immigration controls were imposed. Immigration to Spain exploded in the 90s, with Moroccans of both sexes arriving in large numbers and becoming Spain's first important economic immigrant community. In the 2000s, migrants started arriving in some numbers from other Muslim-majority countries (as well as from Latin America and Eastern Europe).

It inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, as well as the waters of New Zealand. [ 1]Blobfish are typically shorter than 30 cm (12 in). They live at depths between 600 and 1,200 m (2,000 and 3,900 ft) where the pressure is 60 to 120 times as great as at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy. [ 1] Instead, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. Its relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats in front of it such as deep-ocean crustaceans. [ 2]Blobfish are often caught as bycatch in bottom trawling nets. The popular impression of the blobfish as bulbous and gelatinous is partially an artifact of the decompression damage done to specimens when they are brought to the surface from the extreme depths in which they live.

Answer by Mark Swarthout Confidence votes 119KContract attorney. When not working I teach karate, collect stamps, write books, and play the ukulele. Coyotes live in North America, from Alaska and Canada to Mexico, and south to Panama in Central America. However, they are especially populous in the southwestern states of the US, and routinely prey on livestock. Some live in snowy places (like Alaska) and some live in deserts (as in Arizona), and wild coyotes can be found even in such unlikely places as urban parks in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC. The coyote has assumed many of the habitats occupied by various species of wolves. They live in deserts like ones in texas or arizona coyotes live in WI WA and several different states or countries tundras and woods They inhabit every square mile of North America. They mainly find dens under huge boulders or big brush piles."

Flamingos are a wading bird. There are four types that live in North and South America and two types that live in Asia, Europe, and Africa.

There are only 420 blobfish left in the world, so great efforts are being made to save them. A blobfish is endangered for many reasons. A huge reason is because of overfishing. Overfishing is to deplete the stock of fish in (a body of water) by too much fishing. Blobfish live where other tasty sea creatures do, also. But don’t worry--blobfish aren’t edible. So don’t worry about your mom cooking fresh blobfish for dinner with a side of shrimp! Blobfish are often caught as by catch in bottom t rawling nets. The blobfish does not seem to be an important animal in the ecosystem, so the fishermen do not always put blobfish back."

So, i'll leave you to look up whatever bioluminescent creatures you want. ) Hallucigenia: An extinct yet incredible creature from the cambrian. There are many strange organisms from that time period, but this one takes the cake for me.i definitely suggest looking into more of these cambrian creatures. Horseshoe crabs: Nearly unchanged for 450 million years, they're living fossils. It's not uncommon to find their corpses washed up on the beach, depending on which beach you go to. They crush food with their legs and spend their time as bottom dwellers. Considering they're larger than a dinner plate, they're probably my favorite thing to find at the beach.greenland shark: They're the world's longest lived vertebrate (400yrs), are nearly blind, and live at depths that make them nearly impossible to study."

While rarely seen, one of these ancient animals was just recently caught in a trawler’s net off the coast of Australia!Photo via Wikicommons Frogfish This bizarre looking fish spends most of its time on the ocean floor. It rarely swims, instead preferring to “walk” along the seafloor with the help of its pelvic and pectoral fins. The frogfish may be slow-moving, but it can capture its prey in a matter of milliseconds. You can see a frogfish right here at the National Aquarium!Photo via Smithsonian.com Blobfish The blobfish might not be the most aesthetically pleasing fish, but its minimal muscles and skeletal structure allow it to survive the intense pressure found thousands of feet below the ocean’s surface where it lives. Photo via Wikicommons Giant Isopod Roly-poly, potato bug, pill bug? Whatever name you have for that small garden pest, the giant isopod is its deep see counterpart. These carnivorous bottom dwellers live on the muddy seafloor and are typically between 7 and 14 inches long!Photo via Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Yeti Crab It’s clear where the yeti crab gets its name.

The Black Rhinoceros - These animals are one the brink of extinction, although they could once be found across the Savannah in western Africa. The Indian Rhinoceros - This creature once roamed areas of Pakistan, Burma and Bangladesh and may have even been seen in China. Now however, due to declining numbers, they can only be found in small populations in north-east India and areas of Nepal. The Javan Rhinoceros - This is the rarest of all mammals, not just in the Rhino families, but right across the animal kingdom.

Four of the 17 species of penguins live along the coast of Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. None are able to venture far inland on the Antarctic, as there is nothing on the Antarctic continent to support life. They depend on the ocean for their survival, whether it be the Antarctic waters or the more temperate waters of the coasts of South America and Australia. Others are found elsewhere within the Antarctic Circle to temperate regions further north, including New Zealand, southern Australia, the Falkland Islands, the Galápagos Islands (which is a tropical habitat) and the coastlines of South America and southern Africa.

Some species are planktonic (drifting in sea waters), some are benthic (living on the ocean floor), and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses ( phytotelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as biodiversity indicators. As with other crustaceans, copepods have a larval form. For copepods, the egg hatches into a nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen. The larva molts several times until it resembles the adult and then, after more molts, achieves adult development. The nauplius form is so different from the adult form that it was once thought to be a separate species.

While many people attempt to grow some of the varieties of water lilies in their home ponds and water flower gardens, the most beautiful and prolific water lilies grow deep in the heart of dense freshwater environments. Rain forest streams and ponds of both the Amazon and Southeast Asia hold some of the world's most exotic and rare strains of this sought after flower. In some groups or tribes, the water lily is an important flower in many ceremonies and traditions as well. For those who enjoy gardening and flowers, there are a few water lily facts that he or she may want to know. Scientific Name In the scientific world, the water lily is part of a larger family of plants called Nymphaceaceae. These flowering plants have been investigated for centuries by the scientific community due to the fact that so many of these flowers will not grow in a domesticated environment. This early angiosperm goes on to produce basal angiosperms, which are the next evolved state of the lily that forms the flower. There were many studies performed with the water lily and the lotus."

"text": "\"Although the more experienced houseplant growers are probably rolling their eyes at this, I get a lot of hits from people searching for ways to make their Spathiphyllum rebloom, so I figure I should probably try to address the question directly. It's slightly more interesting than it appears. The first thing to realize is that there are a lot of varieties of Spathiphyllum, and some are more inclined to bloom than others. 1 That's just the way it is. Larger varieties, like 'Mauna Loa' and 'Sensation,' are particularly unlikely to bloom, compared to the medium-sized and small plants. 2One of the more recent flowers from my large NOID Spathiphyllum, which is probably either 'Mauna Loa' or 'Sensation' or both. The reason for the odd perspective and textures is because this was on the top rack of a set of shelves, so a lot of the picture is ceiling. Second, the growers cheat. Most or all of the peace lilies available for retail sale have been forced to bloom, by application of a plant hormone called gibberellic acid. 3 Gibberellic acid induces blooming roughly two to four months after it is applied, and is apparently reliable enough that plants can be sold in bloom at any time of year."

Some varieties even change colours as their blooms mature!As they grow, water lilies push out a profusion of rich, green floating leaves, creating a gorgeous backdrop for their blooms, and important shade cover and habitat for all pond life. Easy to grow and maintain, hardy water lilies are almost a prerequisite to fully appreciate the water gardening lifestyle. The botanical name for the water lily is Nymphaea, named after beautiful female Greek mythological creatures called nymphs, who are known to seduce young gorgeous men into tranquil pools of water and drown them in lust and passion. Now that’s a plant every woman needs in her garden!Shopping for Water lilies – What to look for Hardy water lilies are ideal for any water garden because of their perennial beauty, ease of culture, wealth of bloom, and range of colour and form. Their purchase may be considered a permanent investment, with reasonable care they can be retained for many years. There are two types of water lilies, hardy water lilies, and tropicals. We do not recommend tropical water lilies as they need a consistent water temperature of 80 degrees Celsius and above, and are therefore poor bloomers in our Northern climate. Tropical water lilies also require a very extensive over wintering process which does not always prove successful."

"text": "Culture of Water Lilies A basic requirement for water lilies is sunlight. More sun, more blooms, less sun, less blooms. At least half a day of sunshine will give reasonably good results. Water lilies are correctly known as Nymphaea, a genus of herbaceous aquatics hailing from almost every part of the world. These, and the colourful hybrids developed from them, may be divided into two groups - hardy and tropicals. Hardy water lilies flower on the water surface and will survive even severe frosts, providing the rhizome is planted at least 25cm below the surface of the water. Tropical water lilies send up blooms on stems above the water, and require warmer conditions. A single hardy water lily rhizome will develop into a well-filled circle of leaves approximately 76cm or more across, under good conditions in a single year. This amount of growth should be allowed per plant in the planning stage, still leaving enough water surface space for reflections and the welfare of fish, which must have some light. All care should be taken when spraying garden plants that no spray drifts into ponds containing fish."

Here’s everything you need to know about caring for a peace lily in your home!About Peace Lilies Peace lilies are tropical, evergreen plants that thrive on the forest floor, where they receive dappled sunlight and consistent moisture. Replicating these conditions in the home is the key to getting your peace lily to be happy and healthy. With enough light, peace lilies may produce white to off-white flowers in the early summer and continue to bloom throughout the year. Most household varieties of peace lily grow up to 16 inches tall, but larger cultivars can reach 6 feet in height. Peace lilies are not cold-hardy plants, so they may only be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates. Is the Peace Lily Plant Poisonous? Yes. All parts of the peace lily plant contain calcium oxalate—a substance that may cause stomach and respiratory irritation if ingested in large amounts. Keep peace lilies out of reach of small children and pets."

In fact, 97% of all the water on Earth is salt water. The other percentage is freshwater. 2% of this is found in frozen glaciers near the poles. That leaves the other 1% of freshwater that is on this Earth. The Freshwater biome can be found in various places all over the world. Because of this, the temperature of the water is different from place to place. Ponds, streams, rivers, and lakes are all part of the freshwater biome. Here are some well-known freshwater lakes examples and where they can be found: The Great Lakes- Found in Midwest U.

A relative of the water lily, the water lotus will spread across the pond and compete for its attention. More than one lotus plant can look overwhelming in smaller ponds, so pond owners must choose the correct variety for the area they have available. General Information on Lotuses There are two different species of lotus: Nelumbo lutea are the Native American species and Nelumbo nucifera are native to the Orient, the Philippines, north Australia, Egypt, and the Volga River delta at the Caspian Sea. Like any aquatic plant, there are many different varieties. They come in a wide range of sizes, varying in height from 18 to 60 inches. The smaller lotus varieties can reach 8 to 12 inches tall with leaves 2 to 3 inches in diameter. These so-called “dwarf lotus” varieties can grow wonderful flowers up to 1 foot wide, resting atop stems that reach 6 feet above the water surface."

Also, the package says full sun to partial shade, but In Oklahoma the sun is terrible during the summer. Would I then put them in a shadier spot as the summer progresses?

CA)Hi, Our callas (we've got the regular ol' white ones, but I don't think colors make much of a difference in this case) bloom during the winter and spring. The rest of the year, they are in their dormant period and do not bloom (at least in my experience). It's best to keep them in partial shade. We have kept them in full sun during the summers (but I live in California) and they are okay that way, too. During growth periods, they like lots of water. ( Mother is an overwaterer and they just love her- they've rebloomed every year for the past 5 or so years.)"

This occurs when clients use \"\"spot on\"\" flea control products containing permethrin and labeled for use in dogs on their cat. This must be a fairly easy mistake to make because we see two or three cats a year with permethrin toxicosis. This causes severe tremoring, salivation and seizures in cats. It is unclear what percentage of cats who are treated with permethrin based flea products die from the exposure but some do. Most cats will respond to treatment with muscle relaxants such as methocarbamol and diazepam (Valium Rx). There is no specific antidote for permethrin poisoning. Thoroughly washing the permethrin off the hair and skin if it is accidentally applied can prevent poisoning and doing this helps even after clinical symptoms of permethrin poisoning have occurred. Once in a while small dogs develop muscular weakness after permethrin products are applied but this is a transient effect and dogs are generally not considered to be as susceptible to permethrin toxicosis as cats are. The best way to avoid this poisoning is to read the label of all flea control products before applying them to any pet, but especially before applying them to a cat."

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email Related To: Gardening Flowers Plants Flower Bulbs Planting Q: What is the different between a daylily and a garden lily? A: Garden lilies grow from bulbs, whereas daylilies grow from crowns. Daylilies have many leaves that grow out from the crown, but garden lilies generally have one shoot with leaves on it that grows from the bulb. Q: When do I plant lilies? A: You can plant them in either the fall or the spring, but plant them as soon as you get the bulbs. You don’t want to buy the bulbs in the fall and wait until spring to plant them. Q: How deep should lily bulbs be planted? A: In general, you should plan to plant the bulbs about three times as deep as the diameter of the bulb, but there are some varieties that are a little different, so check the packaging when you purchase the bulbs. You should also plant lilies in groups to get the most bang for your buck, so dig a hole to the proper depth and plant a few bulbs together."

"text": "\"Planting Aquatic Plants Gardening with aquatics is similar to other forms of gardening in that you have to be aware of proper soil conditions, kinds of containers, proper planting techniques, fertility needs, and after planting care. What makes water gardening unique is that the plants you grow are growing in a water filled environment. Things like water depth, water temperature and what to do with plants during the winter now become a consideration. Soils for Aquatics Water lilies, lotus, and other aquatic plants do best when they are planted in heavy clay loam soils similar to what you would have in a garden setting. These types of soils are generally well-balanced nutritionally and will support good growth. Commercial potting mixes or other artificial mixes are not used because they are too lightweight and do not hold nutrients for any length of time. So, contrary to other container gardening \"\"rules\"\" do not use an amended soil mix for potting aquatic plants. Containers Most containers used for aquatics are chosen based upon the size of the water garden and the purpose. The size of the pool or pond dictates the size of the container and the types of plants that will be grown. For the most part, containers that are about 15 inches in diameter and 10 inches deep are suitable for hardy water lilies."

"text": "What is glomerular filtration? Unless things go wrong, most of us don’t spend much time thinking about what it takes to urinate, but in fact, your kidneys and urinary system are quite amazing. Together they receive over a liter of blood each minute, and eliminate around 1.5 litres of urine per day, efficiently getting rid of excess water and waste products that would otherwise cause you some serious problems. Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that your kidneys use to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so they may be eliminated from your body. Why we make urine Your body metabolizes (processes) the things you eat and drink, which produces energy, as well as the various building blocks that you need to keep your tissues and organs healthy. While doing this, a variety of other substances are produced that can’t be used or stored for later, and must be eliminated to prevent toxic build-up. In addition to waste products, our diets often contain substances in amounts that are far more than we need on a day-to-day basis (such as carbohydrates and fats). You get rid of non water-soluble waste products in feces (e.g., undigested fibre and bacteria), and water-soluble waste products in urine (e.g., urea and electrolytes - sodium and potassium). Some foods and medications can change the colour of your urine; e.g., beets, blackberries and rhubarb can turn urine red or pink."

"text": "Bowman's capsule, also known as a glomerular capsule or capsula glomeruli, is a double-walled, cup-shaped structure inside the kidney. The kidney contains up to two million units called nephrons. Each consists of a tube, one closed end of which is swollen to form Bowman's capsule while the other opens into the renal pelvis, the space from which urine leaves the kidney. A knot of tiny blood vessels called a glomerulus sits inside the capsule. Blood entering the kidney passes through the glomerulus and is filtered through blood vessel walls and the outer wall of Bowman's capsule, before the resulting filtrate collects inside the capsule. The function of the kidney involves removing waste and harmful products from the blood, while conserving useful substances and water. In order to achieve this, different parts of the kidney act together to filter out and then reabsorb different factors from the blood. Eventually, the correct composition is achieved to maintain the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Urine is formed at the end of the process. It contains waste material and fluid which is expelled from the body during urination."

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."

The adrenal glands (part of the endocrine system) sit on top of the kidneys and release renin which affects blood pressure, and sodium and water retention. The bean-shaped kidneys are about the size of a closed fist. They lie against the back of the abdominal wall, outside the peritoneal cavity, just above the waistline in the lumbar area. The right kidney sits slightly higher than the left one because of the position of the liver. The kidneys are aout 4 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. The kidneys are highly vascular (contain a lot of blood vessels) and are divided into three main regions: renal cortex (outer region which contains about 1.25 million renal tubules), renal medulla (middle region which acts as a collecting chamber), and renal pelvis (inner region which receives urine through the major calyces). The kidneys are protected in front by the contents of the abdomen and behind by the muscles attached to the backbone. They are further protected by a layer of fat. The Renal System Kidneys – collect the body’s waste products and Ureters – Muscular tubes that transport urine from each kidney to the bladder."

"text": "Answer by Bottlemoney4 Confidence votes 31The kidneys act as if they were a filter. They remove wastes (mostly liquids) from the blood, and have some control of your blood pressure. Kidneys are vital organs that function to keep the blood clean and maintain chemical balance within. They process blood to extract waste products and extra water. These by products become urine to be ultimately excreted from the body. The kidney serves many important functions, including: Filtering out wastes to be excreted in the urine. Regulating blood pressure via both urinary excretion of wastes and initiating the renin-angiotensen hormone regulatory system Regulating an acid-base balance via the bicarbonate system Stimulating red blood cell production via the release of the hormone erythropoietin. Interesting fact: We have two kidneys to get the filtering done well. Well enough to filter our blood entirely - several times every five minutes. The human kidneys are a pair of organs that help to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid-base concentration, and filter the blood of metabolic wastes, which are then excreted as urine."

"text": "Science Human Anatomy Organs Q: How Do Kidneys Clean the Blood? A: Quick Answer The kidneys filter blood through a two-step process. Blood first enters a filter called the glomerulus, where excess fluid and waste products are redirected into the second area of filtration, known as the tubule. The tubule extracts any needed minerals that make it through the first filter and sends them back into the bloodstream, while the final product emerges from the tubule as urine. Continue Reading Keep Learning Which Organ Cleans the Blood? In Which Organ Does Obligatory Reabsorption of Water Occur? Where Is the Kidney Located? Full Answer The glomerulus and the tubule are two parts of a larger filtration unit called the nephron. The nephron is the working unit of the kidney. Each kidney contains up to a million nephrons, which filter a combined 120 to 150 quarts of blood a day, creating one or two quarts of urine."

Flint is an industrial city located an hour northwest of Detroit in Michigan. Originally the home of numerous General Motors factories, including the Buick World Headquarters, Flint has fallen on hard times over the past 30 years due to the decline of the American automotive industry. Despite these misfortunes, the city has an outsized history, including decisive roles in the growth of the American labor movement and community schooling and evident in a host of extensive and well-endowed cultural institutions. Flint's crime numbers have risen dramatically in recent years and funding for redevelopment projects has topped $400 million. Understand [ edit]Sometimes considered a suburb of Detroit, Flint is more accurately described as a \"\"satellite\"\" city. Like Saginaw, Pontiac, and other factory towns in Michigan, Flint's identity is often influenced and predicted by the Motor City and the peaks and valleys of the American auto industry. Because the American auto industry has been in bad shape these last few decades, these cities, and debatably Flint most of all, have become symbols of urban blight and economic ruin. Hence it is tempting to write them off at the worst as ghost-towns, or at the best as smaller clones of Detroit. However, in fact each city is regionally distinct, both in terms of the local institutions they have raised in times of prosperity and crisis, and in the emphasis of civic response."

A river basin consists of the entire geographic area (hillside, valley, plain) from which water flows into the primary river, which is made up of an intricate network of smaller rivers and streams. Rain falling within a river basin, or watershed, runs downhill until it reaches a stream. Small streams join other streams and flow into a river, and eventually that river flows into the sea.

"text": "\"ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, POLITICAL ISSUES, Uncategorized WHY THE FLINT WATER CRISIS HAPPENEDDate: January 29, 2016Author: Bruce Dunlavy4 Commentsby Bruce Dunlavy (My blog home page and index of other posts may be found here . ) The story can be summed up in a stark and simple sentence. From April 2014 to October 2015, the 100,000 residents of Flint, Michigan, drank poisoned water, and nobody did anything to stop it. In the United States of America in the Twenty-first Century, residents – especially children – of a large city were drinking, bathing in, and washing with water polluted by a concentration of brain-damaging, anemia-causing, rash-inducing lead that was measured at 820 times the “action level” that is supposed to trigger a response. How did this happen? One could look at the timeline of events leading down to this tragedy and get a facile and fatuous answer. Michigan’s governor Rick Snyder summed that answer up: “ [G]overnment failed you – Federal, State, and local leaders – by breaking the trust you placed in us.” Snyder then performed the ritual act of contrition we see from all political screw-ups. He fell on his rubber sword by saying he has ultimate responsibility for the failure and then fired a couple of scapegoats. Image credit: aclumich.org The surface story of the Flint water crisis is this: Flint used to get its water from the Detroit system."

Cap and ball guns are close enough to cartridge guns, and even to the in-line actions, that clerks can't steer you too far wrong if you choose to buy a modern rifle or double-barreled percussion shotgun. But, put a flintlock on the shelf and no one knows how to make it go bang, beyond that you have to put this rock in the cock (hammer), and hope it sparks, and hope the sparks hit the powder in the priming pan, and then hope the main charge in the barrel is ignited. It all sounds like so much hard work that consumers just don't want the guns anymore. With the new in-line actions, you use #209 shotgun primers, the same as used to reload modern shotgun shells. You use black powder substitutes like Triple Se7en and Pyrodex, and sometimes this comes in pre-measured pellets, so you don't have to measure any powder! Then we have plastic wads instead of cloth, and jacketed pistol bullets instead of round lead balls. Because everything goes down the muzzle, we (properly) call them muzzleloaders, and pretend we are doing things the way Daniel Boone and Davie Crockett, or the men on the Lewis & Clark Expedition did it 200 years ago. Add to that bad legislation passed by Congress to give us a little more false security, which restricts how black powder is sold transported and stored, and even finding a store that carries black powder is a chore.

He is the son of Helen Veronica (Wall), a secretary, and Francis Richard Moore, who worked on an auto assembly line. He has Irish, as well as English and Scottish, ancestry. Moore studied journalism at the University of Michigan-Flint, and also pursued other hobbies such as gun shooting, for which he even won a competition. Michael began his journalistic career writing for the school newspaper \"\"The Michigan Times,\"\" and after dropping out of college briefly worked as editor for \"\"Mother Jones.\"\" He then turned to filmmaking, and to earn the money for the budget of his first film Roger & Me (1989) he ran neighborhood bingo games. The success of this film launched his career as one of America's best-known and most controversial documentarians. He has produced a string of documentary films and TV series predominantly about the same subject: attacks on corrupt politicians and greedy business corporations. He landed his first big hit with Bowling for Columbine (2002) about the bad points of the right to bear arms in America, which earned him an Oscar and a big reputation. He then shook the world with his even bigger hit Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), making fun of President George W. Bush."

During our tour of Michigan’s thumb in a 2011 Palomino Maverick Max 2902 last month, we stopped by the General Motors Flint Truck Assembly Plant for what has to be one of the most amazing things we’ve ever experienced as a magazine. The GM Flint Truck Assembly Plant Factory Tour We arrived at the assembly plant at 1:00pm for a personal behind the scenes tour. GM had granted Truck Camper Magazine permission to take photographs in the plant, something that they otherwise strictly forbid. More impressively, GM placed no restrictions on what we could photograph or where we could go. This was a no holds barred plant tour. The enormity of the GM Flint Truck Assembly Plant is something you have to see for yourself to truly understand. The 3.7 million square foot factory opened in 1947 and has assembled over 13 million cars and trucks including 300 1953 Chevrolet Corvettes. I sure wish I had one of those. Here’s the GM Flint Truck Assembly Plant entrance where we were cleared by security and met Tom Wickham, Plant Communications Manager, and Bob Hooks, Joint Activities Director for Local 598 of the UAW."

These suggestions work about 95% of the time. If they don't work for you, buy a new lighter or have it professionally repaired if possible. Like with any mechanical device, from time to time you need to give your lighter a tune-up for optimum performance. Now, here are some little known techniques : Type of butane fuel you are using: Just like with the gasoline for your car, some butane fuels are cleaner than others. Choose a butane fuel that has been recommended for jet torch or flameless lighters. The brands I recommend are Whip-it ,Vector ,Newport ,Lucienne (quadruple refined),Colibri Premium Butane, Prometheus Butane or Dunhill butane. They seem to be the cleanest and work better than others. Additionally, I recommend that you never use most of the other brands most often found at a drugstore. Your local tobacconist or premium lighter retailer should have premium butanes in stock."

He frightens the locals by getting raucously drunk and singing the sea chanty:“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest – Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!” ( p. 13)Bones asks Jim to keep an eye out for “the seafaring man with one leg” (p. 11), who Bones fears above all else. One day, the pirate Black Dog comes to the inn and fights with Bones. Wounded, Black Dog retreats and Bones collapses. Bones confesses to Jim that he was first mate for the infamous Captain Flint, and that he knows where Flint’s treasure is buried. He also knows that Black Dog, another of Flint’s men, will bring the rest of the crew to find him so that they can seek the treasure for themselves. Meanwhile, Jim’s ailing father dies."

They use glycolysis to make 2 ATP and 2 pyruvates from a molecule of glucose, plus 2 NADH. However, such cells cannot continue running glycolysis indefinitely because they quickly run out of NAD+, when all available NAD+ has been reduced to NADH. In respiring cells, NADH dumps electrons to the electron transport chain and regenerates NAD+. In the absence of respiration, this method of regenerating NAD+ is not available. Fermentation reactions reduce pyruvate with electrons from NADH to regenerate NAD+ (opposite of pyruvate oxidation). These reactions produce ethanol in yeast, and lactic acid in mammalian cells (muscle cells under oxygen deficit and most tumor cells – see Warburg effect below). Ethanol fermentation regenerates NAD+ from NADH by releasing CO2 from pyuvate and reducing the two-carbon acetaldehyde molecule to ethanol. Image by Davidcarmack retrieved from Wikimedia commons.

"text": "\"About Us News Testimonials FAQs Health Articles Research Brochure Advertisements Investor Relations Cellular Respiration Overview Living organisms catabolize organic molecules within their cells and use the energy released to manufacture ATP by phosphorylating ADP. Many prokaryotes and virtually all eukaryotes phosphorylate ADP either through fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs, yet only the latter requires oxygen. The Role of Coenzymes In metabolic pathways, coenzymes play a vital role. Metabolic enzymes operate in the body's cells and blood. Metabolic enzymes facilitate the chemical reactions that carry out the processes of metabolism. Typically, metabolic enzymes are composed of two components: (1) an \"\"apoenzyme\"\" that identifies which molecule within a cell requires a specific chemical reaction and (2) a \"\"coenzyme\"\" that initiates the specific chemical reaction. The body's primary sources of energy are produced at the cellular level by metabolic processes. Coenzyme-A (Co A), Acetyl Coenzyme-A (acetyl Co A), Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10) and Coenzyme 1 (NADH), together with certain B-vitamins and their coenzyme forms are necessary for such energy production during: (1) the tricarboxylic acid cycle (the TCA cycle, Krebs cycle, or citric acid cycle) and (2) the glycolitic cycle.

Encyclopaedia Britannica/UIG/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated August 09, 2017Cellular Respiration We all need energy to function and we get this energy from the foods we eat. The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway (break down of molecules into smaller units) for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP, a high energy molecule, is expended by working cells in the performance of normal cellular operations. Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells , with most reactions taking place in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes. In aerobic respiration, oxygen is essential for ATP production. In this process, sugar (in the form of glucose) is oxidized (chemically combined with oxygen) to yield carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. The chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration is C 6H 12O 6+ 6O 2→ 6CO 2+ 6H 2O + ~38 ATP. There are three main stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport/oxidative phosphorylation.

Energy is the capacity to do work, or the capacity for change. Energy transformations are linked to chemical transformations in cells. All forms of energy can be placed in two categories: Potential energy is stored energy—as chemical bonds, concentration gradient, charge imbalance, etc. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Metabolism: Sum total of all chemical reactions in an organism. Metabolism is a combination of Anabolic reactions: Complex molecules are made from simple molecules; energy input is required."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology In order what are the 3 main stages of cellular respiration and where do they take place? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Cellular respiration is in three stages as follows: GLYCOLYSIS Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. glycolysis means literally that glucose is split and the 6 carbon glucose molecule is broken down to 2 X 3carbon molecules of Pyruvic acid. This produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. If oxygen is absent (anaerobic) in animal cells, such as muscle, 3C Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid. In plant cells, such as yeast, pyruvic acid is converted to 2C Ethanol + CO2 (fermentation) In both of the above only 2 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule respired. If oxygen is present (aerobic), pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion to the fluid matrix where Kreb's cycle stages occur. During Kreb's cycle Citric acid is initially formed and is then broken down in a series of enzyme controlled rections releasing CO2 (waste product) and hydrogen. Hydrogen is picked up by a hydrogen carrier molecule called NAD and transported to the hydrogen carrier sytem (Cytochrome sytem) on the cristae of the mitochondrion for the final stage of respiration.

Full Answer Cellular respiration is the process of using stored energy, usually in the form of glycogen, and creating adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), a form of energy that all cells can use. The process begins with glycolysis, where glycogen is released and goes through a series of steps to liberate 2 ATP per glucose molecule. The by-products of glycolysis are used to begin the citric acid cycle, which produces a further 32 ATP molecules.

"text": "\"Energy II - Cellular Respiration (Glycolysis)Created and last modified by DENISE WOODWARD on Oct 20, 2012No labels Introduction and Goals The first tutorial on energy concluded with a discussion of ATP, the molecule that supplies most of the energy for cellular work. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the end product of cellular respiration, which is a catabolic pathway comprised of a series of steps that convert the chemical energy in glucose into the energy contained in ATP. This tutorial will focus on the breakdown of glucose, but keep in mind that molecules can enter the pathway at various points; therefore, glucose is just one of several sugars that can be broken down during cellular respiration. The available energy in glucose (and other sugars) resides within its electrons. These electrons (along with their energy) are removed and passed to intermediate electron carriers in a step-by-step process. These intermediates (e.g., NADH) and the concept of reduction-oxidation reactions (electron transference) will be addressed in this tutorial. By the end of this tutorial you should be familiar with: The general form of a redox reaction Redox and energy The role of NAD+ in conveying electrons Glycolysis Alcohol and lactic acid fermentation, and their exploitation Performance Objectives: Illustrate the importance of redox reactions in cellular respiration Discuss the role of electron carriers Describe the process of glycolysis Identify the fate of the products of glycolysis if oxygen is absent and if oxygen is present Redox Reactions The term \"\"redox\"\" is short for the chemical process known as \"\"reduction-oxidation.\"\" It refers to the transfer of electrons that occurs during many chemical reactions. Electron transfer is important to the life of a cell. During cellular respiration, there is a relocation of electrons."

"text": "\"Articleby Joshua J. Mark published on 14 February 2017The practice of mummifying the dead began in ancient Egypt c. 3500 BCE. The English word mummy comes from the Latin mumia which is derived from the Persian mum meaning 'wax' and refers to an embalmed corpse which was wax-like. The idea of mummifying the dead may have been suggested by how well corpses were preserved in the arid sands of the country. Early graves of the Badarian Period (c. 5000 BCE) contained food offerings and some grave goods, suggesting a belief in an afterlife, but the corpses were not mummified. These graves were shallow rectangles or ovals into which a corpse was placed on its left side, often in a fetal position. They were considered the final resting place for the deceased and were often, as in Mesopotamia, located in or close by a family's home. Male Egyptian Mummy with Amulets Graves evolved throughout the following eras until, by the time of the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt (c. 3150 - c. 2613 BCE), the mastaba tomb had replaced the simple grave, and cemeteries became common. Mastabas were seen not as a final resting place but as an eternal home for the body. The tomb was now considered a place of transformation in which the soul would leave the body to go on to the afterlife. It was thought, however, that the body had to remain intact in order for the soul to continue its journey."

"text": "\"Westend61/Getty Images For some people it might be a quiet wish, for others, it might be a fear, but the truth is that there are very few ordinary garden herbs and plants that produce intoxicating effects when ingested. Most ordinary garden herbs can be eaten in almost limitless quantities without such effects. Whether you are interested in this topic as a potential user or as a worried parent, you should understand that although anything has the potential to be misused, there are only a couple of common household seasonings and garden plants that can produce an altered mental state. Nutmeg Ingesting a couple of tablespoons of nutmeg produces what drug users refer to as a bad trip or an altered state that is uncomfortable and exhausting. Symptoms of intoxication appear anywhere from half an hour to three hours after eating a large amount of nutmeg, and the unpleasant aftereffects can last for a couple of days. Nutmeg contains a very small amount of a substance known as myristicin, which has chemical similarities to mescaline. It also includes another psychoactive ingredient known as elemicin, said to have an effect similar, though milder, to that of MDMA (ecstasy). Some prisons, in fact, have banned nutmeg due to abuse by prisoners. For most would-be recreational drug users, though, the unpleasant physical effects of ingesting too much nutmeg greatly outweigh any pleasantness associated with intoxication. Because heart palpitations, vision disturbances, heavy sweating, vomiting, and extreme exhaustion are the results of its misuse, nutmeg is better left in the kitchen where it is appropriately used in minuscule amounts."

Opiate/opioid painkillers are medicines with effects similar to opium. They act by stimulating opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system. There are a large number of opiate/opioid medicines including codeine, morphine, dihydrocodeine, methadone, buprenorphine and diamorphine (also known as heroin ). Opium comes from the flower of the opium poppy and has been used for many hundreds of years to treat pain, sleeplessness and diarrhoea. Increasingly the terms opiate and opioid are used interchangeably when referring to these drugs. Opiate is sometimes used to refer only to those drugs derived directly or indirectly from natural opium. However, they all act on the opioid receptor in the body. Opiate painkillers are available either from doctors on prescription; or, in relatively low doses over-the-counter, at a pharmacy, combined with aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol."

[ 3] It is estimated that the percentage of the population that has abused amphetamine-type stimulants (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, etc.) and cocaine combined is between 0.8% and 2.1%.

However, in higher doses stimulants may actually decrease the ability to focus, a principle of the Yerkes-Dodson Law. In higher doses stimulants may also produce euphoria, vigor, and decrease need for sleep. Many, but not all, stimulants have ergogenic effects. Drugs such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, amphetamine and methylphenidate have well documented ergogenic effects, while cocaine has the opposite effect. ["

Khat is a flowering plant native to northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Individuals chew khat leaves because of the stimulant effects. It contains cathinone, a phenethylamine substance which is said to induce mild euphoria and excitement. The stimulant properties of khat are similar to, but less powerful than, amphetamines, having the effect of speeding up your mind and body. What does it look like? Khat is a shrub or tree that grows to between 1.5m and 20 m tall. The evergreen leaves are 5–10 cm long and 1–4 cm broad. The leaves begin to deteriorate 48 hours after being cut from the plant on which they grow and the more potent chemical, cathinone, decomposes leaving behind the milder chemical, cathine.

These drugs are analogs of the naturally occurring stimulant cathinone which is found in Khat (Catha edulis). Synthetic cathinones are skillfully marketed as “legal highs” over the internet and in smoke and convenience shops where they are often sold as “plant food” or “bath salts” and frequently labeled as “Not For Human Consumption.” When consumed, their clinical effects are very similar to the amphetamines to which they are structurally related. Sympathomimetic excess with substantial agitation and psychosis are frequently described. There is no specific antidote and treatment is focused on good supportive care with aggressive use of chemical sedation for behavioral control. Case presentation An emergency physician calls the Poison Control Center because he has a severely agitated patient who ingested an unknown substance which friends are calling a “bath salt.” The patient is very tachycardic, hypertensive, and diaphoretic. The treating physician is calling asking for identification of the intoxicating substance and recommendations for treatment and disposition of this patient. Questions What are “bath salts”?"

Amreya Rahmeto Shefa, 40, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree murder in the Sunday slaying of her husband, Habibi Tesema, 48. About 5 a.m., police were called to the couple’s home at 7338 12th Ave S., where they lived with their 2-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, on a report of an assault with a knife. Shefa ran from the home with blood on her hands and arms, “yelling hysterically … about her husband and her kids,” according to the complaint. Officers coaxed the two children from the home and then found Tesema — naked and covered in blood — in a bathtub. He had multiple cuts on his body, and there were two knives in the tub with him, the compliant said. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Shefa was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for a cut on her hand. She told hospital staff that her husband stabbed her “because he had been drinking and taking khat,” the complaint stated. Khat, made from a shrub cultivated in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, has a stimulant effect when chewed."

In magical thinking the limits of a person are ill defined: things which we would pay little heed to could be of critical importance to an ancient Egyptian. How much of a person's essence is inherent in an image? Jilted lovers still tear up pictures of their former love, but they know that this cannot hurt anybody. An ancient Egyptian on the other hand believed that he could harm somebody by destroying his image or gain power over him by applying spells to things which had belonged to him. Some of the terms below were at times (at least in our eyes) almost interchangeable, and they acquired new aspects during the three millennia of their use, changing their meanings. There are no proper unequivocal translations for them, though attempts have been made to equate them with modern psychological terms: The akh is referred to as the Id, the name as the Ego and the ka as the Super-ego."

The chemical ‘cathinone’ is a naturally occurring stimulant drug found in the plant, Khat. Cathinones are the family of related chemicals, including cathinone and many synthetically produced chemicals, like mephedrone, methylone (M1) and MDPV. Cathinones are ‘cousins’ of the amphetamine family of drugs, which includes amphetamine itself ( speed) and MDMA ( ecstasy ), and which have similar effects. Cathinones were sold online and in headshops as so called ‘legal highs’ until they became Class B drugs in April 2010. Cathinones can cause feelings of euphoria and empathy as well as increasing alertness and talkativeness. In a situation of only recently-emerging evidence on what are the exact effects and risks each of the different cathinones, it is accepted that they broadly have a balance of effects similar to amphetamines (speed) and to MDMA (ecstasy).

Introduction: The 'What,' 'How' and 'Why' of Optimizing Our Health through Nutrition We are in the midst of a revolution in the way we understand nutrition and health. Nutrition began as a study of what we need to survive in the most basic sense. Early research in nutrition focused on determining the minimum amount of a nutrient necessary in the diet to prevent the manifestation of an outwardly visible malfunction or obvious disease. Today, with advanced technology and the ability to see within the body -- and even within cells themselves -- we are able to follow how nutrients really function. More importantly, this new insight helps us to understand why having too little of these important dietary components can lead to low energy levels, early aging, and even disease."

It is so poisonous that no amount of mercury absorption is safe - any amount is harmful to the cells and tissues of the human body. It is a poison that appears in our environment more often than we realize and more often than we would like to acknowledge. Mercury toxicity is widespread these days, and your body could be burdened by mercury and other heavy metals... possibly without you knowing about it! Whether or not you feel symptoms, you need to know about this environmental and dietary toxin, and what to do about it. For information on sources and causes of lead poisoning, a list of signs and symptoms of mercury poisoning, and associated disorders, please scroll down this page or click here. Highly Recommended: The first thing we recommend for anyone who is experiencing symptoms of mercury poisoning toxicity, is to have a hair mineral analysis test done. A hair analysis can determine the amount of toxic lead your body has been excreting over time and what other heavy metals may be overloading your body. The levels of each toxic metal are illustrated in a simple bar graph showing acceptable and unacceptable reference ranges. The hair analysis also tells you which essential minerals your body is lacking due to mercury toxicity, and which important mineral ratios are imbalanced due to heavy metals and other nutritional deficiencies."

Their concerns are twofold:1) They have heard that fructose causes weight gain, and fruits contain fructose, therefore fruits must cause weight gain,and2) Fruits are “high in sugar”, and sugar is bad for your metabolism and will derail weight loss – or increase the risk for diabetes. And then I get people who refer to fruit as “sugary junk food”, or they just call it a “sugar bomb”, making absolutely no distinction between a piece of vitamin-rich, fiber-rich fresh fruit and a frosted cupcake. These concerns are not isolated, and I often find myself having to defend fruit as a healthy food (yes, really!). Of course, if you have diabetes, then you have a legitimate need to monitor your carbohydrate intake for each meal (try these green smoothies submitted by readers with type-2 diabetes ). However, if you do not have diabetes, but you are concerned about the sugar content of fruit, I’ve written this post just for you. It contains the latest research on the subject of fructose, weight gain, metabolism, and how that relates to sweet fruit (and green smoothies) in the diet. Are sweet fruits like bananas, mangoes and grapes good for you? Or are they metabolic (and weight loss) nightmares? Is it possible to eat too much sweet fruit?"

I have compiled all the basic facts about antioxidants to broaden your understanding of these nutrients, for you to better appreciate their importance in keeping you youthful and healthy. What Are Antioxidants? Antioxidants are a class of molecules that are capable of inhibiting the oxidation of another molecule. Your body naturally circulates various nutrients in your body due to their antioxidant properties."

It can also help reduce the side effects of tetracycline antibiotics used in acne treatment. What Is Vitamin C? Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient. This water-soluble vitamin is important in humans for a number of reasons especially because of its antioxidant property, its function as a cofactor for important enzymes and its role in collagen synthesis. The active form of vitamin C is L-ascorbate (ascorbate is the functional unit of ascorbic acid). L-ascorbate is a weak acid which is structurally similar to simple sugars such as glucose. Vitamin C can be obtained from both plant and animals sources. The richest plant sources of ascorbic acid are fruits and vegetables. Of these, two fruits, Kakadu plum, and Camu Camu contain very high amounts of the vitamin."

"text": "\"Spirulina Benefits, Top Superfood Protein and Multivitamin Spirulina is a species of edible blue-green algae that naturally grows wild in tropical and subtropical ponds, lakes and alkaline waterways. The genus Arthrospira is among the diverse class of single-celled cyanobacteria identified to have played a primary role in creating the Earth's life-sustaining atmosphere nearly 2.3 billion years ago. Along with phytoplankton, this group of ancient algae also contributed to the basic foundation of the food chain, essential to developing some of the first life forms on the planet. Acquiring energy through the process of photosynthesis, spirulina is particularly known for its ability to convert sunlight into green concentrated sources of protein, fatty acids, antioxidants as well as certain vitamins and minerals. Historically, it was utilized as a nutritional food source in regions of Lake Texcoco or Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City) by Mesoamerican cultures like the Aztec peoples, who called it \"\"tecuitlatl.\"\" Likewise, it was also harvested by civilizations surrounding the large, shallow fresh waters of Lake Chad bordering West and Central Africa. Spirulina was coined \"\"the best food for the future\"\" because of its excellent capacity at producing high quality condensed complete protein and essential nutrients more efficiently than many other foods or microalgae. Yielding more protein on less land and water than any other staple crop, it has in the last several decades been applied for use as a cultivated food in self-sufficient water tank systems in parts of West Africa susceptible to soil deficiency and subsequent malnutrition. In these communities, the children are known to call spirulina mixed into water their \"\"green medicine. \"\" It was also popularized by NASA when it was successfully utilized as a nutritional food supplement by American astronauts, after which time it was extensively researched as a potential cultivar for long-term space travel.

But not as many people are aware that most chronic eye diseases are also related to the foods we eat. Our eyes benefit from good nutrition in the same way other parts of our body do. Nutrition as a science has evolved dramatically over the past hundred years. Doctors used to be concerned only about malnutrition caused by nutritional deficiencies, whereas today we are also concerned about malnutrition caused by excesses of fat, sugar, certain proteins, and overly refined products. Vitamins and health supplements can be found in a variety of stores, and there are many types of vitamins to choose from—multivitamins, men’s or women’s vitamins, and even vitamins for the eyes. Eye vitamins are designed to focus directly on eye health. Let’s briefly go over the various types of eye vitamins and how they benefit the eyes. Vitamins for the Eyes Vitamins are classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body and include A, D, E, and K, while the water-soluble vitamins, C and B, are flushed from your body and need to be replaced daily."

We selected this method not only because it results in delicious taste and texture but also because research studies repeatedly show great nutrient benefits from short-term steaming. Reflecting this, we are excited to let you know about a recent study that extends these cooking principles to corn and its two key carotenoids: lutein and zeaxanthin. In this study, steaming was compared with two other methods of cooking: boiling and pressure cooking. Results of the study showed that the greatest retention of lutein and zeaxanthin—as well as the greatest retention of total phenols and greatest antioxidant capacity—was found in the steamed corn. Both cut corn and whole ear corn were analyzed in this study, making these encouraging results about steaming applicable to corn in both forms. While we never rely on animal or lab studies to make recommendations about food choices for your meal plan, we found the results of a recent lab study on corn to be especially interesting. In this lab study, the antioxidant activities of corn were analyzed on a genetic level, and all three major components of corn kernels— the bran, the germ, and the large endosperm portion—were examined. The activity level of 84 different genes was measured in the study, and all 84 were genes related to antioxidant pathways. Activity in 28 of 84 of these antioxidant pathway genes was increased after incubation of cells with carotenoid extracts from corn."

In addition to these major nutrients, our bodies require a variety of other molecules and ions to maintain proper function. These nutrients, which are required in much smaller amounts, are known collectively as vitamins and minerals. Figure 1Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and water account for most of our nutritional requirements. Vitamins and minerals are required in much smaller amounts, yet their contributions to the body's functioning are essential. Fourteen vitamins have been shown to be essential for normal growth and health in humans. Vitamins are organic molecules (i.e., molecules containing the elements C, H, N, or O) that are needed in trace amounts to help catalyze many of the biochemical reactions in the body. The term \"\"vitamin\"\" derives from the words \"\"vital amine,\"\" because the first vitamins to be discovered contained an amino group (-NR 2, where R is a hydrogen or some carbon-containing functional group) in their molecular structure. The fourteen vitamins that we know today do not have any particular structure in common, nor do they share a common function, but they can be divided into fat-soluble (nonpolar) and water-soluble (polar) molecules. In general, vitamins do not themselves provide chemical energy or act as biochemical building blocks for the body."

"text": "Antioxidants 101 – What and Where? March 1, 2011 by Gloria Tsang Leave a Comment Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as “free radical scavengers” and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals. Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer are all contributed by oxidative damage. Antioxidants may also enhance immune defense and therefore lower the risk of cancer and infection. Most Commonly Known Antioxidants Vitamin A and Carotenoids Carrots, squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, kale, collards, cantaloupe, peaches and apricots (bright-colored fruits and vegetables! ) Vitamin C Citrus fruits like oranges and lime etc, green peppers, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, strawberries and tomatoes Vitamin E Nuts & seeds, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, vegetable oil and liver oil Selenium Fish & shellfish, red meat, grains, eggs, chicken and garlic Some common phytochemicals Flavonoids / polyphenolssoyred winepurple grapes or Concord grapespomegranatecranberriestea Lycopene Tomato and tomato productspink grapefruitwatermelon Luteindark green vegetables such as kale, broccoli, kiwi, brussels sprout and spinach Lignanflax seedoatmealbarleyrye Vitamin-like Antioxidants Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10)Glutathione Antioxidant enzymes made by the bodysuperoxide dismutase (SOD)catalaseglutathione peroxidase The Bottom Line Antioxidants are found abundant in beans, grain products, fruits and vegetables.

( 1)Cancer is a systemic disease with various causes, some of which include a poor diet, toxin exposure, nutrient deficiencies and to some extent genetics. One extremely important way to prevent and/or treat cancer is nutritionally, through eating a nutrient-dense diet and avoiding things that are known to increase cancer risk. But for many people navigating the modern-day food system often seems overwhelming. Ingredients found in ultra-processed foods are being blamed for everything health-related, from cancer and diabetes, to reduced kidney function and bone loss. Only adding to the confusion, sometimes even the way we cook otherwise-healthy foods puts them in the cancer-causing foods category. Unfortunately, until food manufacturers are forced to clean up the ingredients they use in their products, it’s up to us to avoid the worst kinds and to choose cancer-fighting foods. Researchers have known about the dangers associated with some unhealthy habits and cancer-causing foods for decades, while others are just now emerging as possible culprits.

Before passing the city of Oxford the river has to offer a lot for lovers of peace and natural beauty. One of the best ways to enjoy this lovely landscape in the Cotswolds in the south of England is to follow the Thames Path. This long distance walking route is a public footpath following the river for 184 miles from the source to The Thames Barrier in London. After Oxford the Thames continues its way for a while into the south-east, touching the city of Reading and then meandering through Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and Windsor. For a long time the Thames flows through Greater London and Central London where the river constantly plays an important role. Almost every tourist attraction in the British capital is situated along the banks of the river. The gigantic London Eye offers stunning views of the City and the Thames. After leaving the territory of London the river passes The Thames Barrier and ends via the Thames Estuary in the North Sea Close to the source in Kemble Almost from the very beginning a public footpath follows the course of the river The Arkell's Riverside in Lechlade is an irresistible spot for a stop along the young Thames The Ha'penny bridge in Lechlade marks the start of the navigable Thames.

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Estuary From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Estuary (disambiguation). Estuary of Klamath River An estuary is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. [ 1] They are affected by both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. As a result they may contain many biological niches within a small area, and so are associated with high biological diversity. Estuaries are typically the tidal mouths of rivers (aestus is Latin for tide), and they are often characterized by sedimentation or silt carried in from terrestrial runoff and, frequently, from offshore. They are made up of brackish water. Estuaries are often given names like bay, sound, fjord, etc. The terms are not mutually exclusive. As ecosystems, many estuaries are under threat from human activities such as pollution and overfishing."

[ 8] The duration of a single crossing is ten minutes (reduced to five minutes in rush hour as the service speed is increased). [ 9]The service, announced in July 2010 and estimated to cost £ 60,000,000; comprises a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) gondola line that crosses the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Victoria Dock, to the west of Ex Ce L London. Construction of the cable car began in August 2011. [ 10] The cable car is based on monocable detachable gondola (MDG) technology, a system which uses a single cable for both propulsion and support, used also on the metrocable in Medellín, Colombia. The MDG system is reportedly cheaper and quicker to install than a more complex three-cable system which would allow larger-capacity cars. ["

At 215 miles (346 km), it is the longest river entirely in England and the second longest in the United Kingdom, after the River Severn. It also flows through Oxford (where it is called Isis ), Reading, Henley-on-Thames and Windsor. The lower reaches of the river are called the Tideway, derived from its long tidal reach up to Teddington Lock. It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea via the Thames Estuary. The Thames drains the whole of Greater London. [ 1]Its tidal section, reaching up to Teddington Lock, includes most of its London stretch and has a rise and fall of 7 metres (23 ft). Running through some of the driest parts of mainland Britain and heavily abstracted for drinking water, the Thames' discharge is low considering its length and breadth: the Severn has a discharge almost twice as large on average despite having a smaller drainage basin."

Could such hedonism be repeated today? Londoners stood on the Thames eating gingerbread and sipping gin. The party on the frozen river had begun on 1 February and would carry on for another four days. The ice was thick enough to support printing presses churning out souvenirs. Oxen were roasted in front of roaring fires, drink was liberally taken and dances were held. An elephant was marched across the river alongside Blackfriars Bridge. It was February 1814. George III was on the throne, Lord Liverpool was prime minister and the Napoleonic wars would soon be won. People didn't know it then but this \"\"frost fair\"\" - a cross between a Christmas market, circus and illegal rave - would be the last."

The Nore is a sandbank at the mouth of the estuary, between Havengore Creek, Essex, and Warden Point, Kent. The eastern boundary of the estuary suggested in a Hydrological Survey of 1882-9 is a line drawn from North Foreland, Margate, Kent via the Kentish Knock lighthouse to Harwich in Essex.

GEOGRAPHICAL COMPONENTS AND BORDERS The United Kingdom is bordered on the south by the English Channel, which separates it from the continent of Europe. It is bordered on the east by the North Sea, and on the west by the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The United Kingdom’s only land border with another nation is between Northern Ireland and Ireland. England is the largest, most populous, and wealthiest division of the United Kingdom. It makes up 130,410 sq km (50,352 sq mi) of the United Kingdom’s total 244,110 sq km (94,251 sq mi). The area of Scotland is 78,790 sq km (30,420 sq mi), the area of Wales is 20,760 sq km (8,020 sq mi), and the area of Northern Ireland is 14,160 sq km (5,470 sq mi). This means that England makes up 53.4 percent of the area of the United Kingdom, Scotland 32.3 percent, Wales 8.5 percent, and Northern Ireland 5.8 percent. The United Kingdom contains a number of small islands. These include the Isle of Wight, which lies off of England’s southern coast; Anglesey, off the northwest coast of Wales; the Isles of Scilly in the English Channel; the Hebrides archipelago to the west of Scotland, consisting of the Inner and the Outer Hebrides; the Orkney Islands to the northeast of Scotland; and the Shetland Islands farther out into the North Sea from Scotland."

It rises in West Sussex near Horsham and flows northwest through Surrey for 80 km (50 mi) to the Thames at East Molesey, opposite Hampton Court Palace. [ 1] The river gives its name to the Surrey district of Mole Valley. The Mole crosses the North Downs between Dorking and Leatherhead, where it cuts a steep-sided valley, known as the Mole Gap, through the chalk. [ 2] Much of the catchment area lies on impermeable rock (including Wealden Clay and London Clay ), meaning that the river level responds rapidly to heavy rainfall. [ 2]During the second half of the 20th century pollution levels in the river were high, however since 1995 the water quality has improved dramatically and the Mole now boasts the greatest diversity of fish species of any river in England. [ 1] [3] Twelve Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) that include wetland habitats are located within the Mole catchment area and the stretch of river through Leatherhead has been designated a Local Nature Reserve. [ 4] [5] The Mole Gap forms part of a Special Area of Conservation and is an SSSI of European importance. ["

But while Sonning, where they are understood to have bought a £10million Grade II-listed mansion on the River Thames, is not the most obvious location for a Hollywood superstar and his internationally successful lawyer wife, it does have a number of modest charms all of its own. Here’s a brief guide to what seems to have drawn George and Amal to the spot: The house Built in the 17th century and once owned by the Lords of the Manor of Sonning, the nine-bedroomed house was remodelled with the addition of a handsome Georgian façade. It has its own library, gym, spa and steam room, along with a cellar and a boathouse and separate cottage for guests or staff. Set in four acres and surrounded by dense trees and expansive gardens, it offers all the seclusion required of a Hollywood power couple."

"title": "http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Gallacher\nLast name: Gallacher",
"text": "\"Last name: Gallacher SDB Popularity ranking: 6312This famous surname is of ancient Gaelic origin. It derives from the medieval Irish surname O'Gallchobhair, meaning the male descendant of Gallchobhair. This was a personal name composed of the elements \"\"gall\"\", meaning foreign, and \"\"cabhair\"\", help, suggesting that the original name holders were foreign mercenaries, possibly Welsh. The O'Gallachers belonged to County Donegal and are one of the Cineal Connall line. That is one of the families descended from Connall Gulban, a son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, given as being a 4th century King of Ireland. However in the somewhat fluid genealogy of the period, it would seem that the current name was more likely acquired during the 14th century, when their chiefs were marshalls in the armies of the O'Donnell's of Donegal. Recorded as Gallagher, Gallahar and Gallahue, the name is mostly associated with the province of Ulster. Early examples of surname recordings include that on July 18th 1826, of Catherine Gallagher who married Mathew Mc Elhinny, at Clondavaddog, County Donegal, whilst earlier on July 23rd 1626, Charles Gallacher married Marjory Barron at Edinburgh Parish Church, in Scotland. The coat of arms most associated with the family has the blazon of a silver shield charged with a black lion rampant treading on a serpent in fess proper, between eight green trefoils. The crest has a red crescent, and out of the horns, a serpent erect proper."

"text": "\"U. S. Open Golf 2018 Golf U. S. Open 2015 odds: Don't waste your money on Tiger Woods9The U. S. Open occasionally produces a totally unexpected winner. But that still doesn't mean you should consider Tiger Woods winning at Chambers Bay. By Brendan Porath Jun 15, 2015, 8:00am EDTShare Eileen Blass-USA TODAYThere are plenty of ways to waste money, but one of the most unsatisfying methods would be betting on Tiger Woods to win U. S. Open 2015. Tiger starts the week at Chambers Bay with 33/1 odds to win his fourth U. S. Open. That's higher than normal for the 14-time major winner, but it's still incongruous with everything we know about this current iteration of Tiger. When he was at his best, Woods drew absurdly low odds, sometimes 3/1, to win majors. And even when he wasn't at his best, he was still the favorite because the oddsmakers knew the public money would go running to the one star who overwhelmed the game. Tiger was 28/1 to win the Masters at the start of the week in Augusta. Given that he was coming off a two-month self-imposed hiatus to see if he could chip a golf ball anymore, those odds seemed outrageous. A 28/1 line to make the cut seemed more appropriate than a bet to win."

Wiglaf ( Old English Wīġlāf pronunciation: [ˈwiːjlɑːf]) is a character in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. He is the son of Weohstan, a Swede of the Wægmunding clan who had entered the service of Beowulf, king of the Geats. Wiglaf is called Scylfing as a metonym for Swede, as the Scylfings were the ruling Swedish clan. While in the service of the Scylfing Onela, king of the Swedes, Weohstan killed the rebel prince Eanmund and took his sword as a trophy; [1] Wiglaf later inherited it. [ 2] Weohstan belonged to the clan of the Wægmundings, the same clan Beowulf's father Ecgþeow belonged to; so Wiglaf is Beowulf's distant cousin, and his only living relative at the time of Beowulf's death.

Favourites Brendan Cole, Anton Du Beke, Aljaž Škorjanec, Natalie Lowe, Karen Hauer, Kevin and Joanne Clifton, and Pasha Kovalev all remain part of the team. On leaving the show, Lukosiute said: “I really enjoyed my experience on Strictly Come Dancing! I loved everything about the show, dancers, judges, BBC, celebrities, fans... all of it was a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful show. I always tried to do my very best to show off my celebrity and add as much as I could to the show.

"text": "\"Gallagher Name History Gallagher Irish Coat of Arms Gallagher is the anglicisation of the Irish surname Ó Gallchobhair (or a newer spelling form: Ó Gallchóir), these being masculine forms; the corresponding feminine forms are Ní Ghallchobhair (newer form Ní Ghallchóir). Apart from the aforementioned spelling there are at least 30 recorded variants including Gallacher, Gallager, Gallaher, Galliher, Gallaugher, Galagher, Galegher, and Goligher. It is the most common surname in County Donegal and the fourteenth most common by birth records in Ireland. In the United States, it was ranked by the 2000 U. S. Census as the 574th most common name out of over 80,000 surnames found. According to Professor Edward Mac Lysaght, in the mid 20th century Gallagher was one of the most common Irish surnames, most of the recorded births being located in the north-west provinces of Ulster and Connacht, with the majority being recorded in the homeland of the sept - Co Donegal. Ó Gallchobhair sept The Ó Gallchobhair sept claims to be the most senior family of the Cenél Conaill. The sept's territory was spread across the areas within the modern baronies of Raphoe and Tirhugh in Co Donegal. From the 14th century until the 16th century, the sept's chiefs were marshals in the O'Donnells' military forces. The principal branch of the family was centred at Ballybeit and Ballynaglack. Gallagher Ecclesiastics in the 16th Century Redmond O'Gallagher was appointed Bishop of Killala by Pope Paul III in 1545 and presumably was recognized by the Crown in the reign of Queen Mary I, but there is no record of his recognition by Queen Elizabeth I. In 1569, Redmond O'Gallagher was appointed Bishop of Derry."

Examples of IT portfolios would be planned initiatives, projects, and ongoing IT services (such as application support). The promise of IT portfolio management is the quantification of previously informal IT efforts, enabling measurement and objective evaluation of investment scenarios.

As pointed out by Jeffery and Leliveld, [1] companies have spent billions of dollars on IT investments and yet the headlines of mis-spent money are not uncommon. Nicholas Carr (2003) has caused significant controversy in IT industry and academia by positioning IT as an expense similar to utilities such as electricity. IT portfolio management started with a project-centric bias, but is evolving to include steady-state portfolio entries such as infrastructure and application maintenance. IT budgets tend not to track these efforts at a sufficient level of granularity for effective financial tracking. [ 2]The concept is analogous to financial portfolio management, but there are significant differences. Financial portfolio assets typically have consistent measurement information (enabling accurate and objective comparisons), and this is at the base of the concept’s usefulness in application to IT."

It has three sections. The first defines neuropathy. The second gives a broad overview of neuropathic pain. The final section concerns painful peripheral neuropathy, a common neurological complaint, its causes, diagnosis and treatment. I. What Is Neuropathy? Neuropathy is a condition that results from damage to, or dysfunction of, the nervous system. Most often, the damage exists in the peripheral nervous system, which lies beyond the spine and brain, although brain injury, such as stroke, can also result in neuropathic symptoms. The symptoms of neuropathy depend on the underlying nerves whose function has been affected. Neuropathy that damages sensory nerves can cause numbness, weakness and stabbing or burning pain – symptoms that may worsen if not treated early."

Norwood, who ran in 2009 unsuccessfully under similar circumstances, has not conceded. ( Photo: WGCL-TV)Atlanta has a long legacy of Black mayors, beginning with the election of Maynard Jackson in 1973. In the most recent runoff election between Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mary Norwood for mayor of Atlanta, Bottoms, who is Black, was declared winner and certified the winner following a recount. Now, she is poised to become the sixth consecutive Black mayor of Atlanta. Norwood, who is white, would break that continuity in what has become America’s Black Mecca and the quintessential “chocolate city,” drawing an influx of Black people and emerging as a center of Black political power. In a race noted for its racial divisions, with Bottoms winning the predominantly Black neighborhoods in the west, southwest, south, southeast and east, and Norwood winning the predominantly white northern part of Atlanta. Norwood requested a recount after the vote tally showed Bottoms with a margin under 1 percent. The recount changed little, giving Bottoms 50.44 percent (46,661 votes), and Norwood with 49.56 percent (45,840 votes) — a 821-vote margin. The recount in De Kalb County did not change the results."

Bottoms is a proud graduate of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU) and woman of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. After winning a runoff election by 750 votes, Bottoms greeted a crowd of exuberant supporters. She ran through a list of thank you’s to her siblings, family, friends, and campaign staff. With her four adopted children surrounding her, one affectionately laying on her arm, Bottoms shared a direct message to some of her supporters:“For all the little girls out there, who need somebody to believe that you are better than your circumstances, I️ want you all to remember that black girl magic is real…”Bottoms is a prime example of the reality that is black girl magic, as is Shirley Franklin. Fifteen years ago, the city of Atlanta welcomed Shirley Franklin as its 58th mayor. Like Bottoms, Franklin is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. (honorary) and won the mayoral election with 50% of the votes. In 2002, the Howard University (HU) graduate made history as the first female mayor of the city in addition to becoming the first black woman to be elected mayor of a major southern city. Under Franklin’s leadership Atlanta transformed from having one of the lowest percentages of ‘Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’-certified buildings to one of the highest. Franklin left a “green” legacy as she focused on sustainability and environmental friendliness, introducing the “Clean Water Act” her first year I️n office. Blazing a trail behind Franklin, is her fellow Howard graduate Kasim Reed."

The Legal Clinic column also addresses job-abandonment issues. Monday, March 21, 2011 Sign up to receive Legal Clinic newsletter Question: Does a company have to wait a certain amount of time to fill a position that has opened up if they previously laid off employees when work was lacking? Answer: There is no set period of time that an employer must wait until filling a position that has become available following a layoff for economic reasons. An employer is also under no statutory obligation to rehire an employee whom it laid off as a result of lack of work unless specific language exists in a collective-bargaining agreement or contract outlining provisions for the recall of laid-off employees. Although there is no general obligation to recall employees, the employer must ensure that its decision not to recall employees is not based on any discriminatory motive, that it is following its own internal procedures and any collective-bargaining agreements, and that it honors any promises that it made to employees upon laying them off.

Starz Teases Her Fate Next Season In New Photo By Ashraf Khater On 10/12/16 AT 8:08 AM“Power” Season 4 could see one major player getting killed off. In the series’ official Twitter account, Starz shared a teaser photo of La Keisha (La La Anthony), along with the caption, “We're all wondering. # Power TV #Whereis La Keisha.” No additional details were shared regarding the character’s fate next season, but the tweet seemed to hint that La Keisha’s disappearance in the final episodes of “Power” Season 3 will have a major significance in the upcoming installment. In “Power” Season 3, Keisha found out that Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton) was using their beauty salon as a front to launder Tommy’s (Joseph Sikora) drug money. When Milan (Callan Mulvey) approached Tasha about her scheme, Keisha eavesdropped on their conversation and found out about her friend’s secret. Unsurprisingly, she was livid about Tasha’s betrayal, but the latter told her they can’t stop laundering money because it would raise suspicions. However, Milan then told Tommy that he wanted Keisha dead and ordered the latter to do the deed. The Serbian drug lord told Tommy that he’d have to sever all his connections if he wants to be truly free."

To automatically link to Barbara Carr's charted radio singles, awards, CD's and other references, go to \"\"Carr\"\" in Daddy B. Nice's Comprehensive Index. **************************** Daddy B. Nice's Original Critique: Barbara Carr toiled away in obscurity, working a day job in an electronics factory for two decades, to emerge in the nineties as a seasoned R&B singer with an R-rated repertoire and the \"\"chutzpah\"\" to bring it off onstage. Along with artists like Peggy Scott-Adams and Denise La Salle, she's helped to define the tough, spirited heroine of Southern Soul. \"\" Footprints On The Ceiling,\"\" with its vividly suggestive title, was Carr's first true breakthrough, the title cut of the CD of the same name (Ecko, 1997). \"\" Bone Me Like You Own Me,\"\" a year later, came up with an equally startling title and more of the same, uncompromising club blues. The two LP's solidified Carr's reputation as a certified Southern Soul blues-woman and established a template that younger singers like Sheba Potts-Wright, An-jay, Jackie Neal, Little Kim Stewart and La Keisha follow to this day. Carr reworks blues progressions you've heard a thousand times before, engaging the material without an ounce of pretense, never stretching or straining for effect, and it's easy to overlook her mastery of contemporary blues because she refuses to draw attention to herself. For Carr, it's all about delivering the material--no strings attached."

Its influence on the Greeks, the Muslim philosophers, the scholastic philosophers and even writers such as Dante, was immense. It is essentially a reconciliation of Plato 's theory of Forms that Aristotle acquired at the Academy in Athens, with the view of the world given by common sense and the observations of the natural sciences. According to Plato, the real nature of things is eternal and unchangeable. However, the world we observe around us is constantly and perpetually changing. Aristotle’s genius was to reconcile these two apparently contradictory views of the world. ["

"text": "\"A screen grab from a sex tape showing the Shanghai skyline. ( You Tube)As sex videos go, this one was pretty tame: two minutes of shaky cell phone images showing little more than the nude back and shoulders of a moaning woman. In front of her, the skyscrapers of Shanghai's Lujiazui financial district glittered through floor-to-ceiling windows. No celebrities; no frontal nudity; no fetishistic quirks. Yet the video became a viral sensation this week in China, where pornography is strictly banned. The country's censors have scrubbed it from the web — on Thursday, searches for \"\"Lujiazui\"\" on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter equivalent, yielded nothing video-related. But a flurry of chatter on popular chat apps, and even a surprising stock price fluctuation, suggest that the country's public discourse moves in unusual ways that even the world's most sophisticated censorship apparatus hasn't quite been able to shut down. The video appeared on social networking sites on Tuesday, and within a day, Web surfers had searched for it 280,000 times on Baidu, the country's leading search engine. They identified the video's setting as a room at a Four Seasons Hotel; they discovered that a sleek, white chair in the corner was manufactured by the Qumei Furniture Group, a company in Beijing. On Wednesday, Qumei's stock price soared by nearly 10%, perhaps buoyed by the publicity."

"text": "Home About Statement of Principles Speaking Media Publications Full Archives Essays Nonreligious Does the Koran Forbid the Killing of Non-Muslims? Does the Koran’s Verse 5:32 Forbid the Killing of Non-Muslims?by Archi Medes After every well-publicized major terrorist attack, Islamic apologists appear in the mainstream media, typically claiming that Islam is a religion of peace. To support their assertion, Islamic apologists often quote a famous line from the Koran’s verse 5:32. This famous line is actually only a small part of the verse, and is not even a complete sentence. Here is the line, as it is usually quoted, clipped and cropped, by apologists:“… whosoever killeth a human being… it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind…”Well, so far, so good. It appears to be a universal proclamation that all human life is highly valuable, and that murdering one person would be a terrible crime – like murdering all of humankind. But as we will see, appearances and apologists can be deceiving! To get a better understanding of the origins of this verse and its intended meaning in the Koran, let’s go through the complete verses 5:32-37 (Pickthall’s translation), starting with 5:32:5:32: “For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s sovereignty), but afterwards lo! Many of them become prodigals of the earth."

"text": "\"#Moana Introducing Princess Moana And Her Friends! Disney Release Beautiful New 'Moana' Images July 27, 2016 at 02:36AMBy Allanah Faherty, writer at Creators.co Senior staff writer | Twitter: @allanahfaherty | Email: [email protected] Four months away from the release of Disney's newest film Moana, directors Ron Clements and John Musker have released new images and information on many of the film's characters at the San Diego Comic-Con. Moana is the first time Disney have introduced a Pacific Island princess to their line up, and it also possibly marks the first time that Pasifika culture has been the focus of such an enormous blockbuster film. Up until now we knew a little about the main characters and even less about the supporting ones, so jump in and learn all about your soon-to-be-favorite Disney film, Moana: Moana Image via Walt Disney Animation Studios The main character of the film, Moana — voiced by newcomer Auli'i Cravalho — is the heroine of the film. We know that Moana is the daughter of a chief and has had a deep connection to the ocean since she was a baby (which seems appropriate considering her name means 'ocean'). Moana will follow as she sets off on an adventure, sailing the Pacific as the navigators of the South Pacific used to do (Pacific Islanders were the world's first navigators, using constellations to guide them), in order to fulfil her ancestors' quest. Maui Image via Walt Disney Animation Studios Of all the characters in Moana, demi-god Maui is the one we know most about due to the fact that he has been an important figure in Pacific Island mythology for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. It's important to note that Maui is not a side-kick to Moana — he's a hero in his own right — but he will join her on her quest. In the film, Maui, voiced by Dwayne Johnson, is covered in magical moving tattoos (\"\"tattoo\"\" is actually a word that comes from the Samoan word \"\"tatau\"\", where tattoos are a mark of high honor),which tell the story of his previous quests. He also has the ability to shape shift into animals, a pretty useful talent in a traveling companion!Chief Tui and Sina Image via Walt Disney Animation Studios It's a rare day when a Disney film allows a character to have both their parents, but it's happened in Moana!Chief Tui is Moana's father, and is being voiced by New Zealand Maori actor, Temuera Morrison ( Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones )."

China, the name in English for the country, was derived from Portuguese in the 16th century, and became popular in the mid 19th century.

It is also generally thought that the state of Qin that later formed the Qin dynasty is the ultimate source of the name, although there are other suggestions.

In 711, Arabs crossed the Straight of Gibraltar (derived from 'Gabal Al-Tariq': 'Mountain of Tariq') and established control over much of the Iberian Peninsula. 2 Of the Arab conquest, Muslims called the area of the Iberian Peninsula they occupied, \"\"Al-Andalus.\"\" This land called Al-Andalus, hence often called \"\"Andalusia\"\" had at one point included Portugal, Southern France, and the Balearic Islands. Within 3 years, in 714, Muslims had occupied almost all the peninsula. Muslims crossed to Sicily and established control there for 130 years, until Muslim rule fell in 1091 to the Normans. Muslims also established rule in parts of France, but they were soon defeated by Charles Martel in 756, in which remains today one of the greatest victories for Christian Europe for bringing a halt to Islam's expansion. The Muslims who arrived and settled in Andalus were called \"\"Moors,\"\" ('dark') a corrupt and negative term referring to the people who came from Morocco. They themselves, however, did not use the term to refer to themselves."

It is true that a certain number of listed descendants of Ham are also easily traceable, for example, Mizraim, Canaan, and Heth. And a number of tlle cities related to Ham in Genesis 10 present no problems, having become household words to Bible students. But there are many names here, about which we have very little information, yet which may have been ancestors of very substantial portions of the present world's population. It is certain of these names we propose to examine, for they bear upon the origin of the so-called \"\"coloured races.\"\" We have already proposed that Japheth was indeed \"\"enlarged\"\" to an exceptional degree in his descendants, not merely in the number of nations ultimately derived from his family but in their very wide spread over the face of the earth. Also, this enlargement was gradual enough to occur without seriously disrupting the natural development of dialectic differences, which in due course became distinct languages within the family. In another Doorway Paper (96)it is suggested that the confusion which occurred at Babel served chiefly as an affliction for the children of Ham, whose languages have proliferated bewilderingly from very early times to the present day, a proliferation contributing in no small measure to the fragmentation of the original family. The changes which took place in the Semitic family of languages were remarkably small. And though the changes which took place in the Japhetic family of languages were somewhat96."

The Quran contains many references to astronomy:\"\"And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.\"\" [ Noble Quran 21:33] These references, and the injunctions to learn, inspired the early Muslim scholars to study the heavens. They integrated the earlier works of the Indians, Persians and Greeks into a new synthesis. Ptolemy's Almagest (the title as we know it today is actually Arabic) was translated, studied and criticized. Many new stars were discovered, as we see in their Arabic names - Algol, Deneb, Betelgeuse, Rigel, Aldebaran. Astronomical tables were compiled, among them the Toledan tables, which were used by Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Kepler. Also compiled were almanacs - another Arabic term. Other terms from Arabic are zenith, nadir, Aledo, azimuth. Muslim astronomers were the first to establish observatories, like the one built at Mugharah by Hulagu, the son of Genghis Khan, in Persia, and they invented instruments such as the quadrant and astrolabe, which led to advances not only in astronomy but in oceanic navigation, contributing to the European age of exploration."

So who are these guys? We took a crack at handicapping Apple’s (aapl, -2.47%) back bench last June, when Jobs’ emaciated appearance at the World Wide Developers Conference raised the issue of his succession with new urgency. ( See Why does Steve Jobs looks so thin? ) Except for the elimination of one of our favorites (Tony Fadell, who left the team in November) and the disputed appointment of his replacement (Mark Papermaster, whose move from IBM is still tied up in court) — the faces haven’t changed. Rather than repeat the exercise, we simply offer it again, in its original form, below the fold. Handicapping Apple’s back bench“You know, I think it wouldn’t be a party,” Steve Jobs told Fortune in February, describing the future of his company if, as he put it, Jobs got hit by a bus. “ But there are really capable people at Apple. … My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors."

It should come as no surprise that many cultures throughout time have had lunar deities - that is, gods or goddesses associated with the power and energy of the moon. If you're doing a moon-related ritual, in some traditions of Wicca and Paganism you may choose to call upon one of these deities for assistance. Let's look at some of the better known lunar deities.01of 10Alignak (Inuit)Alignak is an Inuit god of the moon. Image by Milamai/Moment/Getty Images In the legends of the Inuit peoples, Alignak is the god of both the moon and weather. He controls the tides, and presides over both earthquakes and eclipses. In some stories, he is also responsible for returning the souls of the dead to earth so that they may be reborn. Alignak may appear in harbors to protect fishermen from Sedna, the wrathful sea goddess. According to legend, Alignak and his sister became deities after they committed incest and were banished from the earth.

The filtered fluid is called filtrate. Reabsorption of filtrate occurs in a few places within the nephron, however, the majority of reabsorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tube. It is important to mention that additional reabsorption occurs in the Loop of Henle, distal convoluted tube, and the collecting ducts as well.

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Nephrology Metabolic Alkalosis Updated: Oct 24, 2017Author: Christie P Thomas, MBBS, FRCP, FASN, FAHA; Chief Editor: Vecihi Batuman, MD, FASN more... Print Practice Essentials Metabolic alkalosis is a primary increase in serum bicarbonate (HCO 3-) concentration. This occurs as a consequence of a loss of H + from the body or a gain in HCO 3-. In its pure form, it manifests as alkalemia (p H >7.40). As a compensatory mechanism, metabolic alkalosis leads to alveolar hypoventilation with a rise in arterial carbon dioxide tension (Pa CO 2 ), which diminishes the change in p H that would otherwise occur. Normally, arterial Pa CO 2 increases by 0.5-0.7 mm Hg for every 1 m Eq/L increase in plasma bicarbonate concentration, a compensatory response that is very quick. If the change in Pa CO 2 is not within this range, then a mixed acid-base disturbance occurs. For example, if the increase in Pa CO 2 is more than 0.7 times the increase in bicarbonate, then metabolic alkalosis coexists with primary respiratory acidosis. Likewise, if the increase in Pa CO 2 is less than the expected change, then a primary respiratory alkalosis is also present. The first clue to metabolic alkalosis is often an elevated bicarbonate concentration that is observed when serum electrolyte measurements are obtained. Remember that an elevated serum bicarbonate concentration may also be observed as a compensatory response to primary respiratory acidosis."

For this function, which derives from several evolutionary steps among vertebrates, it takes advantage of the diluting ability of the thick ascending limb to produce osmotic energy which is then used to concentrate solutes in the urine. This concentration is permitted by a highly sophisticated architecture of nephrons and vessels in the renal medulla, combined with special permeability characteristics of the different nephron segments and specific hormonal regulation. Two different types of loops of Henle and several well-insulated vascular compartments contribute to this process. The major nitrogenous waste product, urea, is concentrated by an indirect process involving a transfer of osmotic energy from the outer to the inner medulla. As known for several decades, concentrating function is primarily regulated by the effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on water permeability of the collecting duct. However, as discovered more recently, it is also largely dependent upon the effect of the same hormone on urea permeability in the terminal collecting duct. In addition, recent investigations have revealed a much more complex hormonal regulation of the concentrating process than previously thought. ADH itself acts on many other structures in the kidney, and many other hormones and mediators, the secretion of which is not thought to be influenced by the water status, do affect urine concentration either directly or by their interaction with ADH. Rodents display a wide spectrum of morphological and functional renal adaptations improving water conservation."

Sperm are produced at a rate of approximately 200 million per day, or 8.3 million per hour, or 138,000 per minute, or 2,315 per second! In one week, a fertile man will produce 1.4 billion sperm, in one month, 5.6 billion sperm, and in one year, 6.72 trillion sperm! Amazing numbers when you think about it. Sperm are produced within the seminiferous tubules in the testes. The testes are at a slighly lower temperature the internal body temperature."

It would be tempting to list the kidney's function as production of urine, and it certainly does this. But the production of urine is a side effect of the kidney's true function, to regulate the homeostasis of: electrolytes and water, acid-base, nutrients, wastes, and toxins, even oxygen and blood pressure. The detailed structure of #'s 1 through 3 will be discussed later. We will begin with the kidney. The Kidney ( See Figure 26.3)The kidney is composed of several years and is covered with a fibrous capsule, the renal capsule. The outer layer of the kidney is the cortex. It contains the major (upper) portion of the nephrons. The middle layer of the kidney is the medulla. It is composed of the triangular shaped pyramids and the renal columns."

"text": "\"Renal physiology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Renal reabsorption)navigation search This illustration demonstrates the normal kidney physiology. It also includes illustrations showing where some types of diuretics act, and what they do. Renal physiology ( Latin rēnēs, \"\"kidneys\"\") is the study of the physiology of the kidney. This encompasses all functions of the kidney, including maintenance of acid-base balance; regulation of fluid balance; regulation of sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes; clearance of toxins; absorption of glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules; regulation of blood pressure; production of various hormones, such as erythropoietin; and activation of vitamin D. Much of renal physiology is studied at the level of the nephron, the smallest functional unit of the kidney. Each nephron begins with a filtration component that filters the blood entering the kidney. This filtrate then flows along the length of the nephron, which is a tubular structure lined by a single layer of specialized cells and surrounded by capillaries. The major functions of these lining cells are the reabsorption of water and small molecules from the filtrate into the blood, and the secretion of wastes from the blood into the urine. Proper function of the kidney requires that it receives and adequately filters blood. This is performed at the microscopic level by many hundreds of thousands of filtration units called renal corpuscles, each of which is composed of a glomerulus and a Bowman's capsule. A global assessment of renal function is often ascertained by estimating the rate of filtration, called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)."

"text": "\"The Physiology of the Urinary System Last newsletter, we examined the anatomy of the urinary system. Today, we're going to examine the urinary system's functions -- focusing almost entirely on how your kidneys (and more specifically, the kidneys' nephrons) actually filter and balance your blood. Understanding how this works, and how you can prevent and reverse damage to the process and even assist it, is fundamental to maintaining optimum health. We'll conclude by exploring what your doctor learns about you when examining the results of your urinalysis. Wouldn't it be nice to actually know what your doctor is talking about when she makes recommendations to you based on the results of your test? Quick review of the anatomy of the urinary system As we discussed previously, water, waste, and in fact virtually everything other than red and white blood cells are pulled out of the blood in the balled mass of arterioles known as the glomerulus, located at the front end of the nephron. All of this \"\"waste\"\" material then passes into the renal tubule portion of the nephron for \"\"fine tuning.\"\" Keep in mind, that at this point, what we're referring to as waste contains virtually everything including the kitchen sink. If your body could not reclaim most of these elements, since many are essential for life, you would quickly die. That's why that as this pre-urine makes its way through the tubules of the nephron, it is fine tuned, with a bunch of things, including the water, that were previously extracted being put back into the bloodstream, as required by your body."

( June 2014)The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. ( June 2017)When a person (traditionally the wife in many cultures) assumes the family name of his or her spouse, that name replaces the person's birth surname, which in the case of the wife is called the maiden name (birth name is also used as a gender-neutral or masculine substitute for maiden name), whereas a married name is a family name or surname adopted by a person upon marriage. In some jurisdictions, changing one's name requires a legal procedure. Nevertheless, in some jurisdictions anyone who either marries or divorces may change his or her name. Due to increasing security and identification needs, even where it is legal, the common law method is rarely accepted anymore except at marriage (especially for women). Traditionally, in the Anglophone West only women do so, but in rare instances men may change their last names upon marriage as well. [ 1]In the United States, only eight states have an official name change for a man as part of their marriage process and others may petition a court or—where not prohibited—use the common law method (though government agencies sometimes do not recognize this procedure for men)."

( July 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Polish names, have two main elements: the imię, the first name, or given name; and the nazwisko, the last name, surname or family name. The usage of personal names in Poland is generally governed by civil law, church law, personal taste and family custom. The law requires a given name ( imię) to indicate the person's gender. Almost all Polish female names end in a vowel -a, and most male names end in a consonant or a vowel other than a. There are, however, a few male names that end in a, which are very old and uncommon, such as Barnaba, Bonawentura, Boryna, Jarema, Kosma, Kuba (a diminutive of Jakub) and Saba. Maria is a female name that can be used also as a middle (second) name for males. Since the High Middle Ages, Polish-sounding surnames ending with the masculine -ski suffix, including -cki and -dzki, and the corresponding feminine suffix -ska/-cka/-dzka were associated with the nobility (Polish szlachta ), which alone, in the early years, had such suffix distinctions. [ 1] They are widely popular today."

Origins of Our Surname One question that we've all asked our parents or grandparents is \"\"What does our name mean?\"\" Although our surname is fairly uncommon, it doesn't mean that we all have the same background. In fact, there are several different origins and meanings, depending on where our ancestors lived a few hundred years ago. ( Many thanks to John Eckersley for researching most of the information that appears on this page! ) Irish origin: Based on census returns, the origin for the largest group of people sharing some variation of the \"\"Slaven\"\" surname is Ireland.

The following is extracted from that article: \"\"It is a common mistake of Americans to think that the 'van' before a Dutch name signifies nobility. In the Low Countries, that is, in the kingdoms of the Netherlands and of Belgium, 'van' has no particular meaning. Names with 'van' are to be read on shops as well as on the doors of the most aristocratic mansions. The humblest persons have it as well as the most refined. On the other hand, a great number of the oldest families are without it. In Germany, 'von' means noble, and all persons belonging to the nobility have 'von' before their family names, without any exception."

A fierce opponent of slavery and discrimination against African-Americans, Stevens sought to secure their rights during Reconstruction, in opposition to President Andrew Johnson. As chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee during the American Civil War, he played a leading role, focusing his attention on defeating the Confederacy, financing the war with new taxes and borrowing, crushing the power of slave owners, ending slavery, and securing equal rights for the Freedmen. Stevens was born in rural Vermont, in poverty, and with a club foot, giving him a limp he kept his entire life. He moved to Pennsylvania as a young man, and quickly became a successful lawyer in Gettysburg. He interested himself in municipal affairs, and then in politics. He was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where he became a strong advocate of free public education. Financial setbacks in 1842 caused him to move his home and practice to the larger city of Lancaster. There, he joined the Whig Party, and was elected to Congress in 1848. His activities as a lawyer and politician in opposition to slavery cost him votes and he did not seek reelection in 1852."

"text": "The Physics of Tennis Racket Sweet Spots Fabio Bocchi August 27, 2015Each year, tennis players from around the world compete at the U. S. Open, one of the oldest and largest tennis tournaments. With the 2015 tournament approaching, I found myself reflecting on my own experiences playing tennis, particularly how the feeling you get after hitting the ball is never quite the same. Is this simply a figment of the imagination or is there a physical answer? As I will explain here, so-called “sweet spots” can account for this feeling. The Vibration Node of a Tennis Racket In mechanical vibration theory, the vibrations nodes are defined as the points that never move when a wave is passing through them. Because of a wave created by the impact of a ball hitting a racket, the racket will, in turn, begin to oscillate and vibrate. By looking at the mode shapes of the racket — held by a player at the end of the grip — we can identify points where the vibration motion is zero (i.e., where the magnitude is zero at any time during vibration). Here are the first three mode shapes of a tennis racket computed with COMSOL Multiphysics: The first three mode shapes of a tennis racket, from left to right and top to bottom. The fundamental mode is at 15 Hz, the second mode is at 140 Hz, and the third mode is at 405 Hz. As illustrated above, many different points feature this behavior."

Gayle, at 16, is probably best-known for playing Nicky, the granddaughter of Tom Selleck’s character on the hit CBS series Blue Bloods. Detachment, not unlike Kaye’s masterpiece American History X, has a lot on offer and Gayle, for one, is primed to explode. It tells the story of Henry (Brody), a substitute teacher grappling with his troubled past. Newly employed at a public school defined by its apathetic student body and frustrated, burned-out administration, Henry rises to the occasion and becomes a role model to his students, as well as a runaway prostitute (Gayle) who happens to be just as lost as he is. Detachment opens in select theaters this Friday with a national rollout to follow throughout March and April.

Horsley The notion of being eaten alive by a large animal is none too appetizing. Indeed, it is gruesome, terrifying and the stuff of nightmares. \"\" Jaws\"\" is Steven Spielberg's wonderful film based on Peter Benchley's thin and not very good short novel based on a legendary shark hunter in Montauk, Long Island. The locale of the movie the fictional island of Amity presumably somewhere off the New England Coast. ( Amityville is a real town on the south shore of Long Island. Benchley, the son of famous humorist Robert Benchley, was a co-writer, along with Spielberg, Carl Gottlieb and Howard Sackler, on the movie's script and also has a cameo role as a journalist. ) There are five main characters: Martin Brody, the new sheriff of Amity, played by Roy Schneider; Quint, the shark hunter, played by Robert Shaw; Matt Hooper, a marine scientist, played by Richard Dreyfuss; Mayor Larry Vaughn, played by Murray Hamilton; and the shark, which in most scenes is a mechanical special effect. \"\" Jaws\"\" is a variation on a theme man against nature - explored most gloriously in Herman Melville's masterpiece, \"\"Moby Dick,\"\" and Ernest Hemingway's slight novel, \"\"The Old Man and the Sea.\"\" \"\" Moby Dick\"\" is an extremely rich, complex and very philosophical work that dissects the human spirit and ponders the depth of meaning in life. \"\" The Old Man and the Sea\"\" is the lonely and simple tale of one individual out to snare a big fish. \"\""

The Thymus gland, at the forward base of the neck, plays a key role in the immunological defense system, stimulating production of white blood cells that fight disease and infection. The thymus gland is fairly large at birth and continues to grow until adolescence, when it begins to shrink. By middle age the thymus is much smaller, but it is still an important factor in the immune system. During the first few weeks of life, T-lymphocytes created in the thymus migrate to the blood stream and colonize lymph nodes through the body."

It’s a tradition as hallowed as the ceremony itself. Hollywood bestows trophies on movies and actors and the general public responds with a resounding “WTF! ?” It’s an understandable tradition when one takes a look back at Oscar history. A survey of past honorees is like a tour not down Memory Lane, but What Were They Thinking Way.

S. Bach Cinematography Sophie Maintigneux ( fr)Edited by Jean-Luc Godard Distributed by Cannon Films Release date September 15, 1987Running time 90 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1,000,000Box office $61,821 [1]King Lear is a 1987 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, an adaptation of Shakespeare's play in the style of experimental French New Wave cinema. The script was primarily by Peter Sellars and Tom Luddy, and was originally assigned to Norman Mailer. It is not a typical cinematic adaptation of Shakespeare 's tragedy King Lear, although some lines from the play are used in the film. Only three characters – Lear, Cordelia and Edgar – are common to both, and only Act I, scene 1 is given a conventional cinematic treatment in that two or three people actually engage in relatively meaningful dialogue. King Lear is set in and around Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland, where Godard went to primary school. While many of Godard's films are concerned with the invisible aspects of cinematography, [2] the outward action of the film is centred on William Shakespeare Junior the Fifth, who is attempting to restore his ancestor's plays in a world where most of human civilization—and more specifically culture—has been lost after the Chernobyl catastrophe. Rather than reproducing a performance of Shakespeare's play, the film is more concerned with the issues raised by the text, and symbolically explores the relationships between power and virtue, between fathers and daughters, words and images. The film deliberately does not use conventional Hollywood film-making techniques which make a film 'watchable', but instead seeks to alienate and baffle its audience in the manner of Berthold Brecht.

"text": "\"SAN DIEGO, TXMartin Donell Kohout SAN DIEGO, TEXAS. San Diego, the county seat of Duval County, is on San Diego Creek and the Texas-Mexican Railway at the intersection of State highways 44 and 359 and Farm Road 1329, sixteen miles northeast of Benavides, twenty-four miles southeast of Freer, and fifty-two miles west of Corpus Christi on the county line between eastern Duval and western Jim Wells counties. The San Diego Cemetery lies northeast of town. Long before the town itself existed, its site was known to transients. In the eighteenth century travelers between Goliad and Mier used the springs that help feed San Diego Creek and now lie within the city limits as a watering hole. Around 1800 San Diego de Arriba and San Diego de Abajo, two grants totaling eight leagues of land, were granted by the Spanish government to Julián Flores and his son Ventura. The grants were surveyed in 1806 by José Faustino Contreras, the surveyor general of San Luis Potosí. Julián and Ventura Flores arrived in 1809 and received their deed in 1812. The first settlers may have been Julián Flores's herdsmen, who had settled on his ranch there by 1815; four years later the Flores family authorized an agent to found a town \"\"at the place called San Diego.\"\" In 1828 Luis Muñiz became the first recorded birth in Duval County; he lived until the mid-1840s."

Its official nickname of the 'Sunshine State,' is most appropriate, as Florida enjoys ( on average) 300 days of full sunshine each year. Florida can be very hot and humid in summer ( central and south) with a good chance for a brief afternoon thunderstorm ( they don't last long ). Daily highs then average in the mid-80s, with lows in the 70s. During the hurricane season ( June through the end of November ), the state is occasionally subject to an approaching storm, however, plenty of advance warnings are given to both residents and travelers alike. In the winter months ( central and north) conditions are generally mild, but can quickly become damp and somewhat chilly as cold fronts slide across the state from the northwest. Winter weather from West Palm Beach south through the Florida Keys is considered perfect year-round.

"text": "Amazon Where are the Amazon Fulfillment Centers?by Mark Faggiano • Mar 22, 2017Last updated April 5, 2018Amazon does not publish comprehensive information about it’s fulfillment centers. But for sellers in Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon Program (FBA) this can mean a huge headache when it comes time to collect and remit sales tax. Why? Because housing inventory in a state – including in an Amazon Fulfillment Center – gives a seller “ sales tax nexus ” in that state. ( Need help with your Amazon FBA Sales tax? Tax Jar has your back.) This means the seller is required to collect sales tax on all sales made to buyers in any state where they house inventory in an Amazon Fulfillment Center. It’s vital for Amazon sellers to know where their products are stored!Using independent research, news stories about new fulfillment centers, interviews with current FBA sellers, and even postings on Amazon’s job boards, Tax Jar has come up with what we hope is a true and complete list of Amazon Fulfillment Centers in the United States and Canada. We will strive to keep this list updated as new fulfillment centers are built. Please feel free to let us know in the comments if you see a mistake or can help us make a clarification with this list."

When the majority of communities in Duval County consolidated with the city of Jacksonville in 1968, Baldwin, along with Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach, remained quasi-independent. Like the other towns, it maintains its own municipal government, but its residents vote in the Jacksonville mayoral election and vote for the Jacksonville City Council; unlike the others, Baldwin no longer supports its own police force. The population was 1,425 at the 2010 census. [ 5]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Geography3 Demographics4 References5 External links History [ edit]The town was first settled under the name of Thigpen in 1846. Mr. Thigpen had opened a tavern to benefit the stagecoach line at the crossroads of what is today Baldwin. He supplied horses for the stage and shelter and food for the passengers. The first railroad was built in Thigpen in 1857 with a second crossing it in 1859. [ 6] The name was changed to Baldwin in honor of Dr. Abel Seymour Baldwin, the president of the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad, a railroad that ran from Lake City to Jacksonville."

Levine Oct 5, 2016 at 12:13pm The above map from the NOAA shows the storm trajectory, as of 5 a.m. Thursday. ( NOAA)Hurricane Matthew began battering Florida ‘s east coast. By Friday morning, the storm reached Cape Canaveral and is a Category 3 hurricane with winds at 120 mph. Over the course of the day, it weakened to a Category 2, but winds are still reaching 110 mph. It gained strength by Thursday morning, reaching Category 4 status as it hit the Bahamas. Winds were reaching speeds on 140 mph. Officials have stressed the importance of paying attention to evacuation orders because this is going to be a major event. The storm has already killed over 300 people in Haiti. President Barack Obama has ordered a state of emergency for Florida. Gov. Rick Scott began urging those living on the coast, stretching from Miami to Jacksonville, to begin evacuating if they can on Wednesday."

Determined, demanding and a perfectionist, she expects a lot from both her personal and professional lives, while she assumes her responsibilities in return. Very emotional and sensitive, she often tends to internalize and accumulate her feelings and emotions, and isn´t always prepared to share her grievances. Nadine is extremely intuitive, where both people and situations are concerned, although what others call intuition or mediumship, she is happy to refer to as \"\"flair\"\". Her ability to \"\"feel\"\" people and events could guide her to a profession in which the consideration of others is important, such as counselling - where her sensitivity could serve a constructive purpose. It really isn´t worth trying to oppose her because she is sure of her decisions, and won´t understand how come you don´t agree with her point of view."

A definition will be provided and afterload increases, and decreases will be discussed. Finally, medications that affect cardiac afterload will be discussed. Definition Have you ever seen a movie where a car has plunged into a lake with people in the car? What happens when the some of the people try to push open the door? They cannot get it open because the pressure that is exerted on the car door by the water in the lake is too great. This is similar to what happens with cardiac afterload. The definition of cardiac afterload is the resistance that the ventricle of the heart has to overcome to eject the blood from the ventricle chamber during systole. The resistance comes from the blood in the vessels and the constriction of the vessel walls. Afterload is The Pressure of The Blood and The Vessel Walls Systole occurs during contraction of the heart muscles."

D. Share Tweet Pin +1 Share Stumble Pocket Buffer Email You use your hands constantly and when your skin finally cracks and chaps it affects almost everything you do. You can have soft, healthy hands all year round if you understand what causes dry cracked hands and and what you need to do to prevent them. How does the skin on your hands differ from the rest of your body? Hand (and foot) skin is much thicker than skin on the rest of your body. That’s why it doesn’t get irritated right away when you touch harsh chemicals, like house cleaning products, and it doesn’t chap as quickly as other areas of your skin, like your face, when you are exposed to harsh weather. What ingredients should you look for in hand creams and how often should you moisturize your hands? It’s important to take good care of your hand skin and that means using the right hand care products. This is especially true in the winter when your hands are the most prone to chapping. Use only gentle soaps to wash and then applying a good moisturizer immediately after drying your hands as often as you possibly can. Look for gentle cleansers that contain glycerin and moisturizers with glycerin, lanolin and rich hydrating oils."

"text": "\"List of Figurative Language Devices Nadine Smith Figurative language denotes the unusual use of language for a special effect. A figurative phrase read literally will sound like nonsense, because figurative language expresses meanings beyond the mere definitions of words. All kinds of writers from all genres of writing, especially poets, use figurative language devices to enhance the meaning of their sentences. Metaphor A metaphor is a figurative language device that represents one thing as if it were another, or compares two things not normally viewed as similar, such as \"\"time is a thief.\"\" This comparison draws attention to the way time is quick and stealthy. Simile A simile is similar to a metaphor in that it compares two unlike things; however, a simile compares using \"\"like\"\" or \"\"as.\"\" For example, \"\"she ran like the wind. \"\" Hyperbole Hyperbole is an overstatement or exaggeration of speech for an effect. In the example \"\"the ball bounced to the sky,\"\" the ball did not literally reach the sky, but the hyperbolic expression suggests the ball bounced extremely high, so it seemed as though it touched the sky. Personification Describing an inanimate object with human or lifelike qualities is called personification."

"text": "\"Belarus Digest > All > How to Survive on $200 Dollars a Month How to Survive on $200 Dollars a Month Nadine Lashuk3 February 2012A typical \"\"dacha\"\" in Belarus Although prices in Belarus are as high as in any European country, salaries are very low. The average monthly income is around USD 200, but people still manage to buy food, flats and smart phones. How is it possible to make ends meet with such a low income? According to the State Statistics Committee Belstat, between January and October 2011 the average monthly salary in Belarus was roughly USD 208. After the second devaluation it even fell to USD 135 per month at some point. USD 200 is not a lot and it means that the economic situation of many families drastically deteriorated in 2011. Just before the presidential elections the average monthly salary was over USD 530, according to Belsat. But Belarusians still manage to survive. Living in Minsk is as expensive as it is in any city in the West – let’s say Germany – and some things are even more expensive. This is true not only for imported goods like canned vegetables, sweets, and fashionable clothing, but also for flats and even things manufactured in Belarus."

S. Navy aboard the U. S. S. Jason AR8. I was standing a mid watch on the bridge while we were underway to Japan. We were sailing up in the north pacific and it was raining heavily and the seas were tossing. The title came to me first and I liked the 'ring' of it, the way it flowed, and that night I wrote down most of the lyrics. It was like the rain was talking. It was later on that I sat down at a piano and was fooling around with the black keys and started playing a sequence from E flat down to F sharp, well, if you do it you'll see it's the melody that is now stuck in the heads of millions of people around the world. Later on, when we did a demo on the song, that great little ding ding thing that goes FC-FC, DA, DA came to be. The great arranger Perry Botkin Jr. enhanced that little hook and it was producer Barry De Vorzon who came up with the idea of opening the song with that famous burst of thunder. \"\""

"text": "\"Home » Classroom Central Themes vs. Central Ideas By Nadine Smith Characters, plot, symbolism and other elements of fiction all serve as a vehicle for the theme of a story. Teachers and writers sometimes use the terms \"\"central theme\"\" and \"\"central idea\"\" interchangeably, because they both refer to basically the same concept -- the basic premise or message of a text. However, \"\"theme\"\" typically connotes a literary work, while \"\"idea\"\" more commonly refers to nonfiction or informational texts. Main themes and ideas dominate and drive an entire text; they are not limited to one chapter, sentence or character. Central Themes All stories present a particular view on a topic, whether implied or stated. Often, the protagonist develops this view or perspective as the story progresses. For example, in the fairy tale \"\"Beauty and the Beast,\"\" the heroine Belle learns that a person's appearance does not necessarily reflect his character, as evinced by Gaston, who is beautiful outside, but ugly -- arrogant and selfish -- inside, while the Beast is ugly outside but tender and compassionate inside. Central Ideas Nonfiction and factual texts, ranging from business reports to advertising, operate under certain premises as well. Marketers try hard to incorporate value messages in their advertisements, such as the idea that buying trendy clothes can improve your self-image, which may or may not be true. Marketing messages are often only implied, while more formal writing, such as essays, usually directly state their central ideas for clarity and efficiency."

"text": "Symptoms of Bad Air Quality6 Comments Symptoms of poor IAQ are as simple as an odd smell in the air, to more extreme, where bad air may make people sick. It can be very difficult to pin point the cause of the air quality degradation due to the wide variety of causes and the different immunity and sensitivity levels of people. Some of the common reasons for air problems are carbon monoxide, mold, and fabrics. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) did a study and found that in 500 cases, the top reasons for IAQ problems were: Inadequate ventilation, an indoor contamination, and outdoor contamination, microbial contamination, and contamination from building fabric. Filed Under: air quality Comments Nadine says August 17, 2011 at 10:02 pm Hi, we have a tenant who is 65, has had a heart bypass about 5-6 years ago and now is having health problems, such as dizzy spells, headaches, lack of appetite etc… he thinks it might be the air in the house, he thinks that there is mold spores floating around, I need to do a simple air quality test, to find out if there are spores in the air. Is there a container I can get take samples and send them away to find out if anything is in the air? One company around here wants to come and do a 7-800$ home evaluation, all I need to know is if there is mold spores in the air, can you point me in the right direction. Thank-you, Nadine Unknown says November 28, 2011 at 10:33 pm We had a bad fire extinguisher in the office and it has been rwmoved. There is a odor over the last 3 weeks that has mad e everyone sick..symptoms…odor absorbed into fpod in a zip loc bag.

"text": "The Edge of Seventeen Is an Instant Teen Classic Kelly Fremon Craig’s debut film avoids genre tropes to deliver a beautiful, sometimes abrasive, coming-of-age story. STX Entertainment David Sims Nov 18, 2016 Culture Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size Like The Atlantic? Subscribe to The Atlantic Daily, our free weekday email newsletter. Teenagers, you might have heard, can be a bit of a handful. Feed them into the Hollywood-movie machine, though, and their problems usually get solved—broken friendships are healed, potential romances are consummated, important life lessons are learned. But the director Kelly Fremon Craig’s debut film The Edge of Seventeen feints away from every adolescent cliché to create something far more wholly realized. The result is a story of young adulthood that isn’t afraid to be abrasive and emotionally confusing, while also making space for rare instances of vulnerability and tenderness. The Edge of Seventeen is a sharp portrait of a 17-year-old roiled by hormones and emotions. Craig is candid about what a nightmare her protagonist Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) can be. Nadine is prone to moments of cruelty or gracelessness, and proves at times to be incapable of self-awareness, despite her obvious intelligence."

"text": "\"James Kielkopf, Economist, Public Policy Consultant, Farmer Answered Jul 23, 2014 · Upvoted by Marc Bodnick, Former Ph D student in Politics · Author has 648 answers and 613.9k answer views Let's get two facts established right away before moving on to the meat of this question. 1) The Federal Reserve is NOT a private entity. It is an agency of the US Congress (i.e., an independent agency), established for the purpose of regulating the private banking system and the US money supply while minimizing corrupt or special interest political influence on those processes. Federal Reserve employees, throughout the system, in the individual Federal Reserve Banks as well as the Board of Governors, are all federal employees. 2) While it is true that the Federal Reserve actually does create money out of thin air as an accounting gimmick on balance sheets, it is still the US Treasury that does any actual printing of Federal Reserve Notes, not the Fed itself. Why we borrow as a means of creating money today The Federal Reserve was established as a politically agreeable solution to the pernicious problem of creating and disposing of money in a way that was deemed fair, reduced systemic financial risk, and contained internal rules which helped to prevent Congress from intervening in monetary policy in ways deemed hazardous to the nation's economic health but perhaps advantageous to a few politicians and their special interest constituents. Other ways of doing the exact same thing could have been done instead, including just letting Congress print the money it needs to pay its bills instead of taxing people (as it did during the US Civil War). But the central banking concept was implemented because it was seen to function more or less well in other countries and it allowed the American right wing to retain a kind of check on the limits of the power of the state to just print money and go into the business of producing things, pushing private industry aside by buying all of the productive assets. If forced to borrow money, and if forced to convert such currency to a rare, limited commodity like gold, at least Congress would be required to reconcile high levels of spending with higher interest rates and gold scarcity, providing an institutional brake on public spending. The US Federal Reserve was thus born out of the ongoing struggle between the rich to limit what government can take from them and the poor, to limit the damage the rich can do to them with their unreliable casinos from which markets for labor were based."

"text": "\"definition : banknote [ [File: CHF Banknotes.jpg|thumb|The current banknotes of the Swiss franc series possess at least eighteen security features. ]] A banknote (often known as a bill, paper money, or simply a note) is a type of negotiable promissory note, made by a bank, payable to the bearer on demand. Banknotes were originally issued by commercial banks, who were legally required to redeem the notes for legal tender (usually gold or silver coin) when presented to the chief cashier of the originating bank. These commercial banknotes only traded at face value in the market served by the issuing bank. Commercial banknotes have primarily been replaced by national banknotes issued by central banks. National banknotes are generally legal tender, meaning that medium of payment is allowed by law or recognized by a legal system to be valid for meeting a financial obligation. Historically, banks sought to ensure that they could always pay customers in coins when they presented banknotes for payment. This practice of \"\"backing\"\" notes with something of substance is the basis for the history of central banks backing their currencies in gold or silver. Today, most national currencies have no backing in precious metals or commodities and have value only by fiat. With the exception of non-circulating high-value or precious metal issues, coins are used for lower valued monetary units, while banknotes are used for higher values."

Paper Currency Values Also read our Currency Grading Tutorial and Common Currency Replica guides here.$1 Silver Certificates, 1935 and 1957Most 1935 and 1957 series Silver Certificates are worth a very small premium over face value. Circulated examples typically sell for $1.25 to $1.50 each, while Uncirculated $1 Silver Certificates are worth between $2 and $4 each. Exceptions to these values include Star notes (where the serial number is followed by a small star in place of the suffix letter), and other various varieties and blocks including 1935A Hawaii and North Africa notes, Experimental notes, and various rare blocks and serial number ranges. Please refer to the Standard Guide to Small Size U. S. Paper Money (1928 to date), by Dean Oakes and John Schwartz, for more information.$5 and $10 Silver Certificates, 1934 and 1953As with most $1 Silver Certificates, most circulated $5 and $10 Silver Certificates only carry a small premium over face value, ranging from 10% to 30%. Uncirculated $5 and $10 Silver Certificates carry a larger premium, depending on the issue and the grade. There are several significantly scarcer and even rare varieties in these series, however, including the 1933 $10 Silver Certificate, the 1953-B $5 Silver Certificate Star Note, and others, and most Star notes from these series carry some premium (ranging from small to large) over the regular notes. Again, please refer to the Standard Guide to Small Size U. S. Paper Money (1928 to date), by Dean Oakes and John Schwartz, for more information.$1, $2, $5, and $100 Red Seals, 1928, 1953, 1963, and 1966Although some of these notes carry more of a premium than others, most $2 and $5 Red Seals that are seen are circulated notes from common series that carry very little premium over face value. All $1 Red Seals are scarce and are quite valuable in higher grades, while $100 Red Seals (although relatively modern) carry a premium of 20% to 40% even in circulated condition. Again, there are several scarce issues among these notes, and we recommend the Standard Guide to Small Size U. S. Paper Money (1928 to date), by Dean Oakes and John Schwartz, for more information.$2 Federal Reserve Notes Most $2 Federal Reserve Notes from 1976 and 1995 are worth no more than face value. Original packs from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing carry a premium, as do Star Notes which typically sell for $10 to $20 in Uncirculated condition for the common district banks."

In addition, there are other financial instruments that represent money or monetary value in various ways, such as bills of exchange, stock certificates, bonds, derivatives, even some life insurance policies and many new creations such as mortgage backed securities Hire purchase and every type of credit including mortgage creates money. Local or complementary currencies are another category. Look for a complete comprehensive list of all the types of financial instruments that have been created and have been or are in use. Research Info INVENTION AND SPREAD OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSINTRODUCTIONMONEYMoney can be defined as a token or object that functions as a medium of exchange that is socially and legally accepted in payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money also serves as a standard of value for measuring the relative worth of different goods and services and as a store of value Money includes both currency, particularly the many circulating currencies with legal tender status, and various forms of financial deposit accounts, such as demand deposits, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. In modern economies, currency is the smallest component of the money supply.. The use of money is thought to encourage trade and the division of labour.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money History of Money The use of money evolved out of deeply rooted customs as is shown by the study of primitive forms of money, e.g. cattle, cowrie shells, whales teeth and manillas (ornamental jewellery). The clumsiness of barter was merely one factor in the development of money, and not the most important one."

They used to print 500, 1000, 5000, 10,000, and even 100,000 at one time. Not anymore. Most of the larger bills, (10,000 and 100,000) were used to do transfers between banks. They don't need those anymore because of electronic transfers. If there are any 500 and 1000 in circulation, they are still legal tender, but the banks will take them out of circulation when they get them.daniel s · 10 years ago0 0 Comment The present denominations of our currency in production are $1, $2, 5$, $10, $20, $50 and $100. The purpose of the United States currency system is to serve the needs of the public and these denominations meet that goal. Neither the Department of the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve System has any plans to change the denominations in use today. The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department."

"text": "\"Social Science Economics Why does printing more money cause inflation ? I don't understand what actually makes prices rise when there is more money available. I've heard that printing more money reduces the actual value of the currency but I don't really understand why. Please explain your answer in detail. Thanks in advance :-)1 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A very simplified explanation: more money in the economy will allow consumers to buy more. The increase in the demand will result in higher prices because the supply side will be slower to increase their production capacity in order to keep pace with the increase in demand. A more quantitative explanation can be found for example in the Cambridge Equation of the Quantity Theory: M = k*P*y; where: M: amount of money in the economy, k: proportion of the national income that people chose to hold in form of cash, P: price level, y: national income. If M increases and assuming that k and y will not change in the short term, it is easy to see that the price level P must go up in order to keep the economy in equilibrium.

The Acts were an attempt by Parliament to limit the colonies' ability to create their own currency. It was both an attempt to solve possible inflation and control the colonies. In early British Colonial America, the Americans really didn't have any gold or silver mines, this the bulk of their revenue came through trade with other countries. Because trading medals has always been impractical, the colonists began coming up with bank notes or notes from loan offices representing money to trade. During the French and Indian War, more paper money was printed than the Americans had been taked for, and they did not have the gold to back it all. Thus the money depreciated greatly. Merchants had no other option but to accept the deprecated currency. As more bills were printed, causing more confusions as to their worth, merchants and traders became more uncomfortable with accepting American currencies. The British Parliament, seeing this dilemma, stepped in to take control of the problem."

Exceptions to these values include Star notes (where the serial number is followed by a small star in place of the suffix letter), and other various varieties and blocks including 1935A Hawaii and North Africa notes, Experimental notes, and various rare blocks and serial number ranges.

These acts caused the American colonists to ban together to protest \"\"taxation without representation\"\" and the violating of their rights as British citizens, ultimately culminating in the American Revolutionary War. You can read more about the Currency Act below and read the actual Currency Act text as well. Click to enlarge Official Copy of Currency Act Source Background of the Currency Act of 1764The time immediately after the French and Indian War marked a profound shift in the relationship between Great Britain and her American colonies. The British national debt soared during the war, which was fought to keep the French and Indians out of British ruled territory in the colonies. After the war, 10,000 troops were still stationed in America in order to provide further protection if the need would arise. The newly elected Prime Minister, George Grenville , sought to reduce the national debt and pay for the expenses of the troops still in America by passing a series of acts designed to increase revenue, get greater control over colonial trade, reduce smuggling and reduce the debt. The Sugar Act was passed in order to reduce smuggling of molasses and sugar products, one of the most widely traded products at the time, and to create revenue from the collection of taxes on these and other items. You can learn more about the Sugar Act here. The Currency Act was passed in an effort to control the colonies' printing and usage of paper money, which was causing trouble due to inflation and a confusing system of various valuations and issues from differing colonies."

It had two main advantages over money made out of silver, gold, copper or iron: It was easier to carry around and the copper and iron could be saved for use in everyday objects. Names and seals were printed and written on paper money by the government officials who issued it. Unfortunatey no written documents exist today which enable us to know how this system of paper currency actually functioned prior to the Yuan period. When Maro Polo traveld to China in the 13th century, he was so impressed by paper money that he described how it was made, used and valued. Paper money was not used in Europe until the 17th century. Paper money began with the \"\"flying cash\"\" of the Tang (618-907) dynasty around 800. The Tang government considering the inconvenience of shipping cash to distant areas where government purchases were made, paid local merchants with money certifiactes called \"\"flying cash\"\", because of its tendency to blow away. These certificates bearing different amounts of money could be converted into hard cash on demand at the capital."

The reverse features an engraving of the painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull. Throughout the $2 bill's pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, National Bank Note, silver certificate, Treasury or \"\"Coin\"\" Note and Federal Reserve Bank Note. When U. S. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note. Production went on until 1966, when the series was discontinued. Ten years passed before the $2 bill was reissued as a Federal Reserve Note with a new reverse design. Two-dollar bills are seldom seen in circulation as a result of banking policies with businesses which has resulted in low production numbers due to lack of demand. This comparative scarcity in circulation, coupled with a lack of public knowledge that the bill is still in production and circulation, has also inspired urban legends and occasionally has created problems for people trying to use the bill to make purchases."

"text": "Lonely Planet / Lonely Planet Images / Getty Images What is Absinthe? Absinthe is an anise-flavored spirit that was originally 136 proof and made with grande wormwood. It is typically made by distilling neutral grain spirits with herbs, predominately anise, florence fennel and grande wormwood. Other herbs such as angelica root, coriander, dittany leaves, hyssop, juniper, nutmeg, melissa, star anise, sweet flag, and veronica are also used. The color of the distillate is clear and is often bottled this way in a style known as Blanche or la Bleue or as a bright green. The coloring is added, either through the chlorophyll from steeping herbs like hyssop, melissa and petite wormwood in the liquor or adding artificial coloring. Other absinthes are available in red or blue hues. Absinthe in History This potent liqueur was outlawed in many countries for years following multiple instances of harmful effects and even deaths of its drinkers, most of which were due to over indulgence of the green spirit. Since the 95 year absinthe ban was lifted in the United States in 2007, many brands have been released with lower thujone levels. During the bans homemade absinthe kits became popular, however this can be dangerous."

"text": "Why Was Absinthe Banned For 100 Years? A Mystery As Murky As the Liquor Itself By Frank Swigonski | June 22, 2013Absinthe is a grain alcohol of Swiss origin that is made by macerating herbs and spices, the most important of which are fennel, anise, and wormwood. The first two give absinthe its characteristic licorice flavor. Wormwood imparts a bitter flavor and is the source of absinthe’s famed mystique and jade-green hue. Absinthe is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and, until recently, was completely banned in the U. S. and most of Europe. The reason for this is that absinthe contains thujone, a toxic chemical found in several edible plants including tarragon, sage, and wormwood. Why is thujone so dangerous that its presence in your glass of booze needs to be regulated by the FDA? The answer has more to do with history than science. Prior to the ban in the early 1900s, absinthe was ubiquitous. If you check out a list of famous people who drank absinthe, you’ll notice that there’s a lot of them."

Care should be used when drinking a flaming beverage. Rum Rum is commonly used in flaming cocktails because of its high alcohol content. One type is Bacardi 151 Rum, which is 151 proof and 75.5 percent alcohol per volume. It is considered overproof or excessive in its alcohol content and is banned in several countries. For a blue cocktail, pour 1/2 ounce anisette and 1/2 ounce vermouth into a shot glass. Add a small splash of 100 proof rum so it stays on the top of the drink."

Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is the meaning of wormwood in Revelation?\"\" Answer: \"\"Wormwood\"\" is the name of a star in Revelation 8:10-11: “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.” This is the third of the “trumpet judgments” described in Revelation. The seven trumpets are the judgments of the seventh seal ( Revelation 8:1-5 ). The first trumpet causes hail and fire that destroy much of the plant life in the world ( Revelation 8:7 ). The second trumpet brings about what seems to be a meteor, comet, or other heavenly body hitting the oceans and causing the death of one-third of the world’s sea life ( Revelation 8:8-9 ). The third trumpet is similar to the second, except it affects the world’s lakes and rivers instead of the oceans ( Revelation 8:10-11 ). It will cause a third part of all fresh water on earth to turn bitter and many people will die from drinking it."

Lillet is a single product. Or at least it was. Originally, Lillet was Kina Lillet, and it was a quinquina—which is to say an aperitif wine with quinine as the core bitter element. ( This is as opposed to vermouth, whose core bitter component would be wormwood, or at least was, traditionally.) Mid-century, a rouge (red) Lillet product was introduced so that the Lillet producers could try to mimic the multi-colored vermouth product lines that were so popular in the marketplace (red vermouth and dry vermouth). Then in the mid-1980s, the Lillet producers reformulated Lillet to virtually eradicate the quinine and bitter elements and dropped the \"\"Kina\"\" (a quinquina/quinine reference) from the name (which was, in retrospect, a remarkably honest thing to do)."

"text": "The Wormwood Science (An excerpt from The Millennium Prophecy)T he Physics of Destruction (How the Wormwood Brown Dwarf Star Destroys Things When It Gets Here)All bodies floating in space broadcast fields of gravitational waves but it takes quite a bit of mass before those gravitational waves become “significant”… are able to hold onto things. A gravitational wave-field reaches out in all directions in three-dimensional space but if a body in space is also spinning on an axis then something else happens at the equatorial plane of the spinning body (star or planet). The moving gravity field “distorts” time-space. As the rate of spin increases… change in angular momentum per unit time… the distortion of the affected local time-space “intensifies”. Where the distortion is maximal (around the “equator”… at a right angle to the axis of rotation) it is reflected back by the dark matter/dark energy of time-space (“Dark Soup” if you will) and stable tubular gravitational “node rings” will form… like invisible concentric “hula hoops” around the equatorial plane of that spinning body (star or planet). They may be invisible but they definitely are there. These stable concentric “hula hoop” node rings will usually fall within a few degrees of the equatorial plane and that’s where the planets will orbit around the sun. And for the planets, their gravitational node rings are where moons will orbit around planets. In short, a gravitational field of a body in space spinning on an axis is the basis for stable planetary orbits around stars as well as stable orbits of moons around planets. The size of the gravity field (amount of mass) and spin rate determine the reach (diameter) and the characteristics of the “affected zone” where the concentric planar node rings will form."

"text": "Many plants in the genus Artemisia are known as “wormwood,” although most people use the term specifically to refer to A. absinthium or grande wormwood, the primary active ingredient in absinthe. This variety has been used medicinally in a variety of ways for centuries, and despite concerns about its health risks, few studies have really examined the plant and its compounds closely. Wormwood is native to Europe, although it has since spread to Asia, Africa, and North America. It grows primarily in temperate zones, and readily takes over when given a chance to do so. People can recognize the plant by its shrub-like look, tall gray-green hairy stems, and lobed yellow green leaves, which are typically arranged in a spiral pattern around the stems. It also has a very distinctive sharp, spicy odor that some people describe as bitter or acrid. The plant prefers full sun, and it likes to grow in dry soil. Wormwood often grows very well in poor soil, taking over where other plants cannot grow, although it prefers medium-weight soil which is high in nitrogen. In temperate zones, the plant will grow as a perennial, while in colder zones, it may die off during the winter, due to frost. Its bitter flavor and odor, incidentally, makes it an excellent method of natural pest control."

"text": "Sometimes called mugwort, wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a woody perennial sub-shrub noted for its fragrant, silvery foliage and tolerance for poor growing conditions. It grows best within U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 to 9, where it is widely used as an ornamental foliage plant in xeric, or low-water, landscaping. Wormwood requires minimal upkeep or care once established in a sunny site with fast-draining soil. However, the plants will look better and live longer if watered occasionally during the summer months and pruned periodically to refresh their foliage.1Grow wormwood in full sun to ensure its long-term health and attractive appearance. Prune back overhanging shrubbery or tree branches to eliminate shade that might interfere with the plant's growth.2Water wormwood regularly during its first summer in the garden. Provide an inch of water every seven to 10 days. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent fungal infections of the stems and roots.3Decrease water drastically once the wormwood plant is established. Provide water every two to three weeks in summer. Increase water by half during periods of extreme heat or drought. Withhold all supplemental water during rainy or very humid weather.4Feed wormwood plants only if the soil is heavily sand based."

The intent of these pages is to demystify vermouth, primarily for the American audience. Vermouth has been ubiquitous in the USA for well over a century, but few Americans understand what it is, and some have even maligned it. Coincidentally, we’re living in a new “golden age” of vermouth with classic brands revitalized and new, experimental vermouths emerging both from the traditional European sources and from upstart American winemakers. Now is a great time to raise your vermouth awareness! While we’re here, we’ll also look at quinquina and americano, two cousins of vermouth that were all but forgotten in the US, yet are also reemerging with vigor. Understanding aperitif wines To understand vermouth, one first must understand aperitif wines. Aperitif derives from the Latin aperire, which is the verb “to open,” in the sense of opening up the appetite. All true aperitifs carry a bittersweet character that stimulates the production of gastric juices and promotes appetite. Aperitif wines are aromatized wines."

It used to be that I go out and run 10 miles in any shoe and not have any worries. Lately I have been getting some knee soreness and other pains throughout my lower body.

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_727\nArea code 727",
"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Area code 727 covers Pinellas County, Florida (including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas Park, among many other municipalities, but excluding the majority of Oldsmar ), and the western third of Pasco County (including Port Richey, New Port Richey, and Holiday ). For 43 years, the 13 counties around Tampa Bay, including cities such as Sarasota, Ellenton, and Port Charlotte were in area code 813. In 1998, Pinellas County and the western part of Pasco County were split into area code 727.727 was originally going to be introduced in an overlay plan, to overlay 813. At the time, overlays were a new concept and since overlays result in mixing area codes within the same area (issuing the new code to new numbers) requiring 10-digit dialing, they were often met with public resistance at the time. With this in mind, GTE (now part of Frontier Communications ), the dominant carrier in most of the Tampa Bay Area, switched the proposal to a split plan. The split largely followed county lines, with the notable exception of Oldsmar, most of which stayed in 813. Oldsmar's trunk is wired into the Tampa line, and it would have been too expensive for GTE to rewire it.

POLICYChild Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) Program The Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program provides complete health assessments for the early detection and prevention of diseases and disabilities for children. The CHDP program is California’s version of the federally mandated Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program and is administered by the California Department of Health Care Services (CDHCS). It seeks to increase knowledge, acceptance, and access to preventive health services through outreach services and through community, health education. All children entering the first (1st) grade in a California school are required to have either a certificate of a CHDP program health examination or a waiver of such on file at the school in which they enroll. The CHDP program cooperates with the State Department of Education to administer and monitor this requirement. Names and locations of the CHDP program health care and dental care providers can be found by calling 1- (800)-993-2437 or, by accessing the list of health care and dental care providers on the LA County Department of Public Health CHDP website. CHDP program providers: Are knowledgeable of all components of the health assessment Are supported by the CHDP program Are thoroughly screened by the Department of Health Services (DHS)Educate the caregiver on child’s health condition and what services are available within the community Provide the caregiver with anticipatory guidance Provide preventive services The CHDP program provider network does not include dentists. The CHDP program providers can refer Medi-Cal patients to dentists who accept Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal)."

The main area code, 519, was created in 1953 from the western portion of 416 and the southwestern portion of 613. In 1957, parts of 519 and 613 formed 705. It is mostly bounded by area code 905, except for Simcoe County which is bordered by 705. It was overlaid with the new area code 226 on October 21, 2006, at which time ten-digit dialling became mandatory. Area code 226 is Canada's 25th geographical area code (not including area code 600 ). Area code 548 was added as a third overlay beginning on June 4, 2015."

Contents [ hide ]1 Coverage2 History3 See also4 References5 External links Coverage [ edit]Area code 813 covers all of Hillsborough County, the city of Oldsmar in Pinellas County, and the central and southeastern portions of Pasco County. The northeastern portion of Pasco County is in area code 352, while the western portion is in area code 727. History [ edit]Area code 813 became Florida 's second area code in 1953, when it was split from the state's original single numbering plan area with area code 305. [ 1] The new number plan area stretched along the Gulf Coast from Pasco County to Collier County and included the cities of St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Lakeland. On March 3, 1996, 13 counties south and east of Hillsborough County, from Manatee County to Collier County, split from the 813 numbering plan area after 43 years in the coverage area and were assigned area code 941. Although the 1996 split was intended to be a long-term solution, within only two years, 813 was close to exhaustion again because of the rapid growth of telephone service in the Tampa Bay area and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers. The Florida Public Service Commission decided to assign area code 727 as another area code for the region. It was originally planned to be an overlay for the 813 territory. However, overlays were still a new concept, and the mixing of area codes in the same region, and the resulting requirement for ten-digit dialing, met considerable resistance."

Last week, Mexico's aviation investigation agency released its findings on the December 9, 2012, crash, saying that the 78-year-old pilot was too old for the license he was given by Mexican authorities, and the 43-year-old Learjet was flying unevenly and shaking when it reached cruising speed. In addition, the report from Mexico's General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics noted that the owner of the plane neglected to report problems with the plane's operation before last year's ill-fated flight from Monterrey to Mexico City. The agency said the report reflects the conclusion of its investigation into the crash that killed Rivera, two pilots, and the singer's lawyer, publicist, hairdresser and makeup artist. The families of the four passengers have filed a wrongful death suit against Starwood Management, the company that owned the plane, and Jenni Rivera's entertainment company.

I find it way more convenient to park on top of the Cobo Roof. It is only $10 and is directly next to the Joe. You take the stairs or elevator down and walk less than 5 minutes along the river on Yzerman Drive.

Cuban–born singing star Celia Cruz has been hailed as the queen of salsa, rumba, and Latin music, and an inadvertent symbol of the Cuban–American community's exile spirit. Cruz, who fled the Caribbean island nation in 1960, became a world–famous singer with an energetic, flamboyant stage presence that brought audiences to their feet. \"\" Cruz is undisputedly the best–known and most influential female figure in the history of Afro–Cuban music,\"\" declared Billboard 's Leila Cobo. Though sometimes evasive about her age, news sources reported that Cruz was 77 when she died in 2003, which placed her birth date at October 21, 1925. A native of Havana, Cuba, she grew up in a household headed by her father, a railroad stoker. The family was of Afro–Cuban heritage, descendants of the Africans who were forcibly brought to the island nation to work in its vast sugar fields in centuries past, and eventually grew to include 14 children, some of them Cruz's cousins. As the second eldest child, she would often have to put the younger ones to bed, and would sing them to sleep. In her teens, Cruz entered and won first prize in a radio contest, \"\"La hora del té,\"\" by singing a tango song."

The album is credited, along with Night Moves, with launching Seger's mainstream popularity.

Classics such as the live version of \"\" Nutbush City Limits \"\" and the connected song rendition of \"\"Travelin' Man\"\" and \"\"Beautiful Loser\"\" were among the most widely played live tracks on Detroit stations such as WWWW (W4), WRIF, and WABX. Other tracks such as \"\"Let It Rock\"\", \"\"Turn the Page\"\" and \"\"Get Out of Denver\"\" also received wide airplay in Detroit. The success of Seger's music at this time, however, was highly regional, with Seger still remaining quite unknown even in adjacent media markets such as Chicago. In June 1976, for example, Seger played the Pontiac Silverdome in metropolitan Detroit at a historic concert that also included Point Blank, Elvin Bishop and Todd Rundgren. 78,000 people were in attendance and the concert lasted until nearly 1:30 a.m. The next night, Seger played for fewer than a thousand people in Chicago. [ 2]However, it was only in the following winter that the release of his next recording, Night Moves, launched Seger into more national markets."

Consumers are dealing with a world where some costs are going up far faster than many incomes. As interest rates go up, the cost of existing debt on credit cards and other variable rate loans will go up, as well.

"text": "36. Kinship and Identity Legal definitions of Aboriginality Early definitions36.11 The legal historian, John Mc Corquodale, has reported that since the time of white settlement, governments have used no less than 67 classifications, descriptions or definitions to determine who is an Aboriginal person. [ 9]36.12 The ALRC discussed the definition of an ‘Aborigine’ in its 1986 report, The Recognition of Aboriginal Customary Laws. [ 10] The ALRC noted that early attempts at a definition tended to concentrate on descent, without referring to other elements of Aboriginality. Problems arose in deciding whether descendants of unions between Aborigines and settlers were to be regarded as Aboriginal for the purposes of various restrictive or discriminatory laws (for example, disentitling Aborigines from voting or enrolling to vote). In applying these restrictive laws, tests based on ‘quantum of blood’ were commonly applied. [ 11]36.13 The Commonwealth Parliament obtained the power to legislate with respect to people of ‘the aboriginal race in any State’ in the 1967 referendum. The Commonwealth subsequently enacted a number of statutes for the purpose of providing certain rights and privileges for the exclusive benefit of Indigenous Australians. [ 12] These statutes have generally defined an Aboriginal or Indigenous person as ‘a person who is a descendant of an indigenous inhabitant of Australia’, [13] or a member or a person ‘of the Aboriginal race of Australia’. [ 14] One commentator has observed in relation to the latter definition: Though possibly an improvement on ‘blood’ quantum definitions, the utility of this definition can still be questioned, not least of all on the grounds that there is no such thing as an Aboriginal race."

By Adele Oliveira Mar 16, 2017 210At the dawn of 1994, long before viral You Tube videos, Americans sat in front of their television sets obsessively watching now-iconic footage of a raven-haired figure skater, clad in a lace dress, sprawled on a floor in Detroit's Cobo Arena sobbing, \"\"Why? Why? Why? \"\" The skater, of course, was 24-year-old Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan, who'd just been hit in the kneecap with a police baton by a man who fled the scene. During the investigation following Kerrigan's attack, authorities quickly discovered that the assault had been planned by Jeff Gillooly, the ex-husband of Kerrigan's chief rival, 23-year-old Tonya Harding. The incident is two decades old, but the shock of the attack—and the trial and media frenzy that followed— still ranks among the biggest sports scandals in modern history, and has unusually strong pop culture staying-power. We're talking a rock opera, a made-for-TV movie, a private museum, references on shows like The Simpsons and Seinfeld, and—most recently— I, Tonya, Margot Robbie's biopic slated for a 2018 release. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Harding's name is infamous—even becoming shorthand for a vicious attack (Obama name-checked her during a speech in 2007)—but she's maintained her innocence since 1994. The truth may never be known, but the facts, tangled though they may be, are worth a review."

Generally speaking, vitrification is a method of transforming something into a glass-like substance. It comes from the Latin root vitreum, which means glass. Vitrification technology is used to transform sand into glass, to give ceramic pots their glossy finished look, and to stabilize nuclear waster for safer disposal. Vitrification has improved the success of cryopreservation. The old methods involved a slow freeze, while vitrification is extremely quick. How quick?

Prior to its release, Seger had been toiling away, releasing seven albums and touring constantly ever since his debut scraped the national consciousness in 1968. The psychedelicized days of Ramblin' Gamblin' Man are long gone on Live Bullet, leaving behind a rocker who loved the Stones for their toughness, Dylan for his honesty, and Chuck Berry for his narrative -- and one who found his own sound when the Silver Bullet Band came into its own through countless tours. Live Bullet was recorded live at Detroit's Cobo Hall, in front of a passionate, loving hometown audience spurring him into a great performance. The song selection relies heavily on Beautiful Loser, yet it dips into the previous albums enough to prove that Seger had been delivering consistently as a songwriter for years. But what really sold Live Bullet is how these terrific songs are delivered with a ferocious, committed intensity. This might not be much more than a simple rock & roll album, but it's one of the best of its kind, establishing Seger, in the eyes of skeptics, as a first-rate performer and writer. Here, \"\"Heavy Music,\"\" \"\"Get Out of Denver,\"\" \"\"Turn the Page,\"\" and \"\"Ramblin' Gamblin' Man\"\" all become hard rock classics, as does the band itself. It's a rare occasion when a double live album captures an artist at an absolute peak, while summarizing his talents, and that's exactly what Live Bullet does.

"text": "Paddle Board Rentals About Paddle Board Rentals A great way to introduce yourself to the fun of a stand up paddle board is to do a rental while on vacation or even in your home town. Typically, paddle board rentals will cost $20 an hour, $40 for half a day, and $60 for a full day, any of which work great for those quick vacation adventures. Even if you have a paddle board at home, it makes a lot more sense to rent a paddle board while on vacation instead of trying to take a 10-12 foot board on a plane as luggage (which is ridiculously expensive). If you’re seriously considering a SUP purchase, I highly recommend taking one or more stand up paddle boarding tours instead of a paying just for a rental. The SUP tours are a kind of combination rental/tour targeted towards beginners so you get the added benefit of scouting out a fun new SUP adventure location. Another reason for doing a few paddle board rentals prior to purchase is to move through the “first week” learning curve on a larger board, and then settling into a board that is ideally sized for your size, skill level, and the application you plan on using it for. Some SUP rental companies offer weekly rentals for $150 to $200 per week. This is a great idea for beginners. Rent one (or get a friend and rent two) for a week and take it out every day to see how you like it before you buy one. As an added benefit, you’ll be thru the learning curve by the end of the week and be in a good position to make a purchase decision."

"text": "FAQWhat is the origin of the cocoa tree? Last Updated on 26 March 2013What is the origin of the cocoa tree? Cocoa beans, from which cocoa products are derived, come from the cocoa tree, which is the species Theobroma cacao. The genus Theobroma, from which the cocoa tree species comes, originated millions of years ago in South America, to the east of the Andes. However, despite our knowing the origin of the genus Theobroma, the birthplace of Theobroma cacao is not so certain and there is no consensus on where cocoa originated. There are scientific claims for the origin of the cocoa tree in several areas in Central and South America. These areas are: The upper Amazon region This region's rich tropical rainforests are a primary centre of diversity and it is possible the cocoa tree grew here 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. The upper Orinoco region of north east Colombia and north west Venezuela Evidence of a large cacao gene pool in the upper Orinoco suggests that this could be where wild cacao originated. The transfer of cacao to Mexico would also be short and easy from here. The Andean foothills of north west Colombia It is postulated that cacao originated in the Andean foothills because of the large number of species found there and the comparative ease of dispersal to Mexico."

Dominating South America's northern coast on the Caribbean Sea, Venezuela is a country of more than 26 million people. A country's whose forbidding interior remains largely unexplored, it has long relied on its bodies of water for transportation, sustenance and, more recently, the economic boons of petroleum and tourism. As breathtaking as they are, Venezuelan aquatic wonders such as Angel Falls and Canaima Falls pale in overall importance to the country's major bodies of water. Caribbean Sea With the largest population centers strung along its northern coastline, Venezuela's relationship with the Caribbean Sea could be described as vital.

Pristine tropical islands of extreme biodiversity lay off the country's 1,700-mile shoreline. A major oil-producing nation, Venezuela relies on the Caribbean Sea as an avenue for shipping its largest export to other nations as well as importing consumer goods. Orinoco River One of the world's longest rivers, the actual length of the undammed Orinoco is a matter of some dispute but typically is placed between 1,300 and 1,700 miles.

"text": "Anatomy The Amazon River dolphin averages about 6.5 feet in length. They come in all shades of pink, from a dull gray-pink, to rosy colored pink, to a bright pink like that of the flamingo. This color variation is due to the clarity of the water in which the dolphin lives; the darker the water, the pinker the dolphin will be. The sun's rays cause the dolphins to lose their pink pigmentation. Murky water helps to protect the dolphin's bright hue. These animals are also known to flush to a bright pink when excited. There are several anatomical differences between the Amazon River dolphin and other types of dolphins. For one, Amazon River dolphins are able to turn their necks from side to side while most species of dolphin cannot. This trait coupled with their ability to paddle forward with one flipper while paddling backward with the other helps them maneuver when the river floods. These dolphins will actually swim up over the flooded land and their flexibility helps them to navigate around trees."

The plant had first been brought to England in 1565, perhaps from Florida by Sir John Hawkins, and by the 1610s there was a ready market in Britain for tobacco—especially Spanish tobacco from the West Indies. Rolfe obtained from a shipmaster some seeds from Trinidad and Caracas, Venezuela, and by July 1612 was growing Spanish tobacco, or Nicotiana tabacum —presumably at Jamestown, although the exact site of Rolfe's crop is unknown. The Virginia Indians also grew and smoked tobacco, so Rolfe could have bought seeds from them, but the native Nicotiana rustica, described by William Strachey as being \"\"poore and weake, and of a byting tast,\"\" did not appeal to English smokers. Moreover, relations between the Indians and the English were unstable at best. Captain Robert Adams of the Elizabeth delivered samples of Rolfe's tobacco to England on July 20, 1613. Although Rolfe's early tobacco was considered by the English to be \"\"excellent in quality,\"\" it still was not comparable to the Spanish product. Nevertheless, Rolfe believed that \"\"no doubt but after a little more tryall and expense in the curing thereof, it will compare with the best in the West Indies.\"\" He was proved correct in 1617, when 20,000 pounds of Virginia tobacco were shipped to England, and in 1618, when that amount doubled. Tobacco Tamper Rolfe's successful tobacco experiments inspired others to begin planting available land in Jamestown and in the settlements along the James River."

"text": "Venezuela Table of Contents The Orinoco is by far the most important of the more than 1,000 rivers in the country. Flowing more than 2,500 kilometers to the Atlantic from its source in the Guiana highlands at the Brazilian border, the Orinoco is the world's eighth largest river and the largest in South America after the Amazon. Its flow varies substantially by season, with the high water level in August exceeding by as much as thirteen meters the low levels of March and April. During low water periods, the river experiences high and low tides for more than 100 kilometers upstream from Ciudad Guayana. For most of the Orinoco's course, the gradient is slight. Downstream from its headwaters, it splits into two; one-third of its flow passes through the Brazo Casiquiare (Casiquiare Channel) into a tributary of the Amazon, and the remainder passes into the main Orinoco channel. This passageway allows vessels with shallow drafts to navigate from the lower Orinoco to the Amazon River system after unloading and reloading on either side of two falls on the Orinoco along the Colombian border. Most of the rivers rising in the northern mountains flow southeastward to the Río Apure, a tributary of the Orinoco. From its headwater, the Apure crosses the llanos in a generally eastward direction. Few rivers flow into it from the poorly drained region south of the river and much of this area near the Colombian border is swampland."

South America’s physical geography, environment and resource s, and human geography can be considered separately. South America can be divided into three physical region s: mountain s and highlands, river basin s, and coastal plain s. Mountains and coastal plains generally run in a north-south direction, while highlands and river basins generally run in an east-west direction. South America’s extreme geographic variation contributes to the continent’s large number of biomes. A biome is a community of animals and plants that spreads over an area with a relatively uniform climate. Within a few hundred kilometers, South America’s coastal plains’ dry desert biome rises to the rugged alpine biome of the Andes mountains. One of the continent’s river basins (the Amazon) is defined by dense, tropical rain forest, while the other (Paraná) is made up of vast grassland s. With an unparalleled number of plant and animal species, South America’s rich biodiversity is unique among the world’s continents. Mountains & Highlands South America’s primary mountain system, the Andes, is also the world’s longest."

Taking its name from the Guiana (Guayana) region, the traditional designation of Bolívar state, it was founded by the state assembly in 1961, uniting Puerto Ordaz (the hub of the complex, 67 miles [108 km] east of Ciudad Bolívar ), San Félix (a port on the Caroní), Matanzas (a steel centre), Caruachi, Castillito (the “iron zone,” which includes El Pao, Cerro Bolívar, San Isidro, Palúa, and Ciudad Piar), El Callao gold mines, and the Macagua and Guri dams and hydroelectric plants on the Caroní. The area was first claimed for Spain by the explorer Diego de Ordaz (1532). The original settlement of Santo Tomé de Guayana was founded (1576) on the Chirica tableland, where the Republicans in the war for independence defeated Spanish Royalists at the Battle of San Félix (1817). Ciudad Guayana was planned to accommodate separate residential, recreational, commercial, and industrial sectors, with facilities for expansion over an area with a 100-mile (160-km) radius. In addition, 550 acres (223 hectares) between the great falls of the Caroní and the Macagua Dam were designated a natural park. The complex is administered by the Corporación Venezolana de Guayana (CVG), an economic planning commission established in 1960. The Angostura Bridge (completed 1967) across the Orinoco at Ciudad Bolívar (67 miles west of Ciudad Guayana) is an important link between the Guiana region and the rest of the country. Ciudad Guayana also has forestry, diamond mining, refractory brick, and paper and pulp enterprises and has attracted numerous small industries. Pop. ("

The three subspecies are distributed in the Amazon basin, the upper Madeira River in Bolivia, and the Orinoco basin, respectively. The Amazon river dolphin is the largest species of river dolphin, with adult males reaching 185 kilograms (408 lb) in weight, and 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) in length. Adults acquire a pink color, more prominent in males, giving it its nickname \"\"pink river dolphin\"\". Sexual dimorphism is very evident, with males measuring 16% longer and weighing 55% more than females. Like other toothed whales, they have a melon, an organ that is used for bio sonar. The dorsal fin, although short in height, is regarded as long, and the pectoral fins are also large. The fin size, unfused vertebrae, and its relative size allow for improved manoeuvrability when navigating flooded forests and capturing prey. They have one of the widest ranging diets among toothed whales, and feed on up to 53 different species of fish, such as croakers, catfish, tetras and piranhas."

Minnesota is on the northwestern periphery of its range, which extends north along the Mississippi River from Illinois to Minnesota. Timber rattlesnake specimens have been collected from 8 counties in southeastern Minnesota, but survey efforts in the late 1990s and early 2000s found that populations were substantially reduced or extirpated from several areas where they occurred historically ( Keyler and Fuller 1999 PDF; Keyler and Oldfield 2003). The major cause of the timber rattlesnake's decline is its vulnerability to systematic and willful destruction by humans. Although the species is secretive and not aggressive, people's fear of it led to the creation of a bounty in Minnesota in 1909. Records for Houston County indicate a marked decline in that county's timber rattlesnake population, with nearly 5,000 bounties paid in 1970, but only 191 in 1987 ( Keyler and Oldfield 1992PDF ). Habitat destruction, road mortality, and collection for the pet trade are other factors in the species decline. In 1984, the timber rattlesnake was designated a special concern species in Minnesota, and in 1989 the bounty was repealed. Because of declining populations, the timber rattlesnake was reclassified as threatened in 1996. Description The timber rattlesnake is a large snake, averaging 80-122 cm (31.5-48 in.)"

Rattlesnakes are a set of venomous snakes belong to the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus. These snakes are associated with the subfamily of Crotalinae. There are around 32 recognized subspecies of rattlesnakes, all of which are endemic to America, inhabiting in the British Columbia (Canada), Central Argentina, and Alberta. Rattlesnakes are the apex predators that are known to live in a variety of habitats. These reptiles consume rodents and birds by killing their prey with the venomous bite. All the rattlesnakes species have set of fangs through which they infuse a large amount of hemotoxic venom. This venom indeed passes through the blood stream thereby leading to swelling, destroying tissues, and severe internal pain. Rattlesnakes are often fall prey to weasels, king snakes, and hawks. Humans are also responsible for killing a good many number of these snakes which is why the population is threatened."

Adult timber rattlesnakes are typically 36 to 48 inches long with a small number reaching up to 72 inches in length. Individuals of this species have the distinctively broad, flat, triangularly shaped heads and vertically slit pupils that are characteristics shared by all of the venomous snake species in Pennsylvania. Rattlesnakes retain and accumulate the dried, shed segments of their integument on their tails. These “horny segments” form the distinctive rattle which is used by the snakes in a variety of warning and defensive displays. The timber rattlesnake has two basic colorations: a light stage (which consists of a light yellow or gray background highlighted by V-shaped cross bands of dark brown or black) and a dark stage (in which a yellow background is almost completely covered by thick brown or black cross bands. The snake’s tail, though, regardless of color stage, is always black. Croatus horridus has a broad geographic distribution throughout the eastern United States. Its northern boundary runs from southern Maine to southeastern Minnesota, and its southern boundary runs from northern Florida to central Texas.

It was a success, and from that point on, the number of roundups grew as they spread across the country. Controversy surrounds them due to the thousands of rattlesnakes that are hunted down and captured to supply the roundups, during which the majority of snakes are often killed during sensationalistic shows and events presented to the public. It is widely believed that roundups have played a significant role in decreasing numbers of rattlesnakes in the U. S., yet there are still seven states — Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Alabama and Georgia — that regularly host rattlesnake roundups, with one held in Sweetwater, Texas, often considered the largest. Some are more humane than others. Cruel Capture In the spring of 2010, I began investigating rattlesnake roundups, primarily those in Oklahoma. I was repulsed to witness the glorification of the killing of these incredible pit vipers. At the first roundup I visited, in Apache, Okla., I was shocked by the number of rattlesnakes that were killed in the name of “entertainment,” operating under the guise of “educational displays.” During my first year of investigating rattlesnake roundups, it became apparent that the numbers of rattlesnakes in the state of Oklahoma was on the decline.

My previous encounters with rattlesnakes have always been of a more fleeting nature, usually noticing the snake after he's already disappearing into the underbrush, or catching a glimpse from a car window as he moves out of the road at our approach. This time was different. I was about 10 feet away, down on the ground hoping to get a good shot with my camera. We'd encountered the snake sunning himself in the middle of a remote logging road near the tiny hamlet of Sirene, Ala. He didn't take off when we stopped the truck and hopped out. At first, he seemed content to ignore us, perhaps thinking we somehow hadn't noticed a 5-foot-long snake with a mid-section nearly as big around as my thigh lying out in the dead open. After a few minutes of playing possum and listening to us talk about how big he was, the snake suddenly pulled his head back toward his body, raised it six inches off the ground and turned toward us. His tongue flicked in and out, tasting the air. Then he rattled. After the first rattle, he slid across the road into the scrubby woods that began at the edge."

We need your help: if you have possibly witnessed this rare animal we need to KNOW! Your sighting could potentially expand our knowledge and hope for the protection of this shy reptile. Your help and information is critical as we search the state for the last possible remnant populations. We are interested in ANY current and ALL historical encounters for the State's database. A positive sighting would be HUGE!Why protect any Timber Rattlesnake? Contrary to popular belief, timber rattlesnakes are shy, retiring creatures that wish nothing more than to be left alone."

Some people have such a dread of snakes that they actually avoid going outdoors to fish, hunt, hike, or picnic. Others kill every snake they see. This is too bad, both for the people who let the fear of snakes keep them from enjoying nature, and for nature itself. It's relatively easy to avoid direct encounters with snakes, and all snakes — even venomous ones — help control populations of rodents and other pests. Getting to know the kinds, natural history, and distribution of Missouri's snakes can help you overcome your fear of them and appreciate their role in nature. Snakebites are Rare Contrary to popular belief, snakes do not go looking for people to bite. In fact, snakes are more afraid of you than you are of them. Important to People and Nature Missouri, with its variety of wildlife habitats, is home to a total of 47 species and subspecies of snakes."

"text": "\"Surveys disagree on the number of venomous snake bites recorded every year in North America - between 1400 and 8000 - and on the number of deaths resulting from these bites - between 1 and 5. Statistics also suggest that only about 18 percent of snake bites in the USA are from venomous species. Of course even 1 death is always 1 too many for the person concerned, but if put into perspective or compared to all the other possible causes of death, one can consider that human deaths caused by snake bites are virtually non existent in North America. In fact, few venomous species occur in North America and only 4 of them pose a hazard to humans - though none of them would rank among the most venomous in the world. North America's venomous snakes fall into two groups: Coral Snakes and Pit Vipers (which include Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouth, Copperhead) 1) CORAL SNAKES (Micrurus) Coral snakes are related to the cobra family and can potentially be extremely venomous though they are generally shy and slow to bite. Coral snakes thus account for fewer than 1% of venomous snakebites in the United States with most people bitten while handling the snakes intentionally. On top of all, Coral Snakes cannot strike quickly and must hang on for a brief period to achieve significant envenomation in humans. Because of this relatively primitive venom delivery apparatus, it is estimated that 60% of those bitten by North American coral snakes are not envenomed. There has been no deaths from Coral Snake bites in the United States since antivenin became available. Before, bites killed 10% of the victims from respiratory or cardiovascular failure."

Rattlesnake Crotalus cerastes Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Serpentes Family: Viperidae Subfamily: Crotalinae Genera Crotalus Linnaeus, 1758Sistrurus Garman, 1883Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes of the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus [1] of the subfamily Crotalinae (the pit vipers). The scientific name Crotalus is derived from the Greek κρόταλον, meaning \"\" castanet \"\". [ 2] The name Sistrurus is the Latinized form of the Greek word for \"\"tail rattler\"\" (Σείστρουρος, seistrouros) and shares its root with the ancient Egyptian musical instrument the sistrum, a type of rattle. [ 3] The 36 known species of rattlesnakes have between 65 and 70 subspecies, [4] all native to the Americas, ranging from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan and southern British Columbia in Canada to central Argentina. Rattlesnakes are predators that live in a wide array of habitats, hunting small animals such as birds and rodents. Rattlesnakes receive their name from the rattle located at the end of their tails, which makes a loud rattling noise when vibrated that deters predators or serves as a warning to passers-by. [ 5] However, rattlesnakes fall prey to hawks, weasels, king snakes, and a variety of other species. Rattlesnakes are heavily preyed upon as neonates, while they are still weak and immature. Large numbers of rattlesnakes are killed by humans."

Although North Carolina isn't the only home state for these carnivorous animals, it's certainly one of them. Timber rattlesnakes exist in many different parts of the eastern United States, from Alabama up to Massachusetts. They are sometimes even seen as far west as Nebraska, Minnesota and Texas. In North Carolina In North Carolina, timber rattlesnakes are especially widespread throughout the eastern portion of the state, which is also commonly referred to as the Coastal Plain region. In history, timber rattlesnakes roamed the Piedmont area, although they are now hard to find there due to a combination of excessive human expansion and farming activities. Timber rattlesnakes are prevalent within the state's woodlands, and they are fixtures in many mountainous settings; they are common within the Blue Ridge mountains, particularly in areas that don't have many people. These rattlesnakes can manage and thrive in numerous habitat types, including forests, agricultural sites, marshes, ponds, rivers and fields. Other Names and Longevity People in the Coastal Plain area of North Carolina often call timber rattlesnakes \"\"canebrake rattlesnakes.\"\" The snakes sometimes are known as \"\"banded rattlesnakes.\"\""

"text": "Tennessee Mountains > The Upper Cumberland Plateau The Upper Cumberland Plateau The Cumberland Plateau is the name given to the southern part of the Appalachian Plateau that extends from the western border of New York through Tennessee into central Alabama. The Cumberland Plateau contains about 4,300 acres in the swath that is about 55 miles wide on the northern border of Tennessee near the Virginia/Kentucky line and less than 40 miles wide at the state's southern border near Chattanooga. It is a 2,000-foot high, sandstone-capped tableland bordered on the east by the Valley of East Tennessee, and on the west by the Eastern Highland Rim. Much of the plateau is flat, although there are some rolling hills, a few higher mountains, and numerous deep gorges. Prominent escarpments with an average height of 900 feet mark both sides. The general plateau elevation is approximately 1,700 to 1,900 feet, but a few of the mountains have elevations over 3,000 feet. There is considerable difference between the escarpments on each side. The eastern escarpment is abrupt, smooth to slightly curving, and only occasionally notched by drainage that empties into the Tennessee River. It is a line of bluffs that served for many years as a barrier to westward migration. When James Robertson led the first settlers into the Great Valley in 1776, they were halted by this gigantic wall, which had no apparent gaps or openings."

"text": "Canebrake or Timber Rattlesnake The Timber Rattlesnake is known as the Crotalus Horridus which is its Latin name, and is one of the most numerous species of venomous snakes in the United States. Although it isn’t considered to be a particularly great threat to people, it does have potent venom and has long fangs to deliver it, but the numbers of attacks on people are relatively few and far between. The species became an important symbol during the American Revolution, and in 2008 the state of West Virginia adopted the Timber Rattlesnake as its official state reptile. In the southern states, it's often called the Canebrake Rattlesnake. It does exist in Florida, but only in the very northern portions. Appearance And Diet The Timber Rattlesnake isn’t the largest in the rattlesnake family, with the largest example ever caught being just over six feet in length, and weighing in at around ten pounds. However, most specimens are much smaller, usually between three and five feet in length and weighing less than five pounds. In terms of the pattern that is showed on the body of the snake, it is usually an irregular striped pattern, with narrow dark bands alternating with lighter green-brown bands. Although the majority of these snakes do have a striped pattern of green or brown scales, there are many of these snakes that actually are much darker, and in some cases can be entirely black. The Canebrake rattlesnake will usually hunt at night, and is able to consume a wide range of different small animals depending on what it can find."

In reality, however, there are few reported cases of people being bitten by timber rattlesnakes. Why? For one thing, these reptiles are shy -- they won't bite unless they feel threatened. In fact, they'll warn you to stay away by shaking their rattle! Besides this, most people don't spend a lot of time in hilly wooded areas, where timber rattlesnakes live. And if people do go for a summer hike in the woods, they're unlikely to encounter the snakes, which take refuge in leaf litter or under rocks and logs on hot summer days. From Head to Rattle Timber rattlesnakes are the largest venomous snake found in Missouri, ranging from three to five feet long - not including the rattle!These snakes are members of the viper family. Like other North American vipers, they have a broad, flat, triangular-shaped head. In timber rattlesnakes, the head is colored yellow, tan, or gray, and usually has a dark line running from each eye to the jaw."

Our native turtles are on the move in May and June seeking sandy areas or loose soil to lay their eggs. In New York, thousands of turtles are killed each year when they are struck by vehicles as they migrate to their nesting areas. All eleven species of land turtles that are native to New York are declining. It may take more than 10 years for a turtle to reach breeding age, and since they lay just one small clutch of eggs each year, the loss of a breeding female can have a significant effect on the local population.

This week we are going to keep on the core Teradata trail by looking into Macros and Stored Procedures as means to provide for Isolation and Embedded Processing. We will start the exploration of Macros and Stored Procedures by returning to the TZA-Database project within the Friday Night Project by starting up Eclipse and selecting the appropriate workspace. In the Project Explorer View open up the src/sql directory as this is where we will add the appropriate Create and Delete files to hold the various Macro and Stored Procedure definitions. We will also be adding appropriate elements to build.xml so that we can build and rebuild TZA_DB with all it’s Tables and Data plus the new Macro and Stored Procedure we will add this week. Macros Teradata Macros provide a means to provide an alternative Isolation Layer that allows us to protect the application implementation from changes in the underlying database. A Macro definition allows us to control the application calling mechanism for a given request (name of the Macro, type and order of parameters). It allows us to define what that calling mechanism does in terms of the SQL it executes (SQL Statement, Table and Column names), which provides a level of isolation in that should we require to change the Table or Column names within the database then we only need to change the Macro definition and not some SQL embedded within the Java code of the Data Access Objects. The only break in our Isolation principle is that the developer does need some knowledge of the Result Set format that the Macro will return (in terms of how many columns are in each row of the result set and the data types associated with each of these), which restricts the level of change available (without recoding the DAO) to SQL within the Macro that reflects the underlying Database. Create TZA_Macros.sql Start by creating a new SQL file (Create TZA_Macros.sql) in the src/sql directory."

The term ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan, was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly (zipping along), when senders use the code in the postal address. ZIP Code - Wikipedia Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ZIP _ Code Recently, in 1983, 4 digits were added to the zip codes. Let me continue with Wikipedia: In 1983, the U. S. Postal Service introduced an expanded ZIP Code system that it called ZIP+4, often called \"\"plus-four codes\"\", \"\"add-on codes\"\", or \"\"add ons\"\". A ZIP+4 Code uses the basic five-digit code plus four additional digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery. Great idea in theory, again, but not so easy to implement: But initial attempts to promote universal use of the new format met with public resistance and today the plus-four code is not required."

A Billing Zip Code is the address you have (for example) Credit Card statements sent. This is the primary use of “Billing Zip Codes”. It may also be used by Healthcare providers to protect your privacy and identity. Most Credit card companies use the zip code of where your Credit Card statements are sent, as your Billing Zip code. For example, you home address might be 12435 Peach Street Anytown, Oh 44100, but have your Credit Card statements (Billing) go to a P. O. Box with a different (44101) Zip Code. They use the Billing Zip Code as a Verification tool to prevent unauthorized users from charging items on your card, if it were lost or stolen."

"text": "In the United States, ZIP codes are a type of postal code. Individuals who mail letters or packages via the United States Postal Services (USPS) are required to write the code as part of the address. This five-digit code helps ensure that parcels get to their intended destination faster. In fact, the acronym zip, which stands for Zone Improvement Plan, suggests speed and swiftness. By looking at the numbers in these codes, a mail sorter can determine where the parcel should go. Each digit in a ZIP code stands for specific areas or regions of the United States (US). Some stand for broad regions, such as the east or west coast, while others stand for specific states, cities, and towns. The first digit of each code corresponds to a broad regional area. Typically, this is a group of neighboring states. For example, codes beginning with zero represent the New England states, including Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut."

"text": "Direc TV’s Regional Sports Fees Make No Sense; You May Be Paying $87/Year More Than Your Neighbor3.8.172:00 PM EDT By Chris Morran@themorrancaveland of the feeat&t directvregional sports fee“Regional Sports Fees” — one of those add-on charges that cable and satellite companies tack on to raise the price of pay-TV plans without having to change the price they advertise — have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way in recent months. Comcast is being sued over this fee, and lawmakers have asked cable providers to explain these charges. As irritating as this surcharge may be, an analysis of how Direc TV assesses these fees raises questions about the motives of the nation’s largest satellite TV provider. The TL;DR Version• Direc TV charges a monthly “Regional Sports Fee” that varies from $0 to $7.29. • Even though all viewers in the same city get access to the same channels, this fee is not evenly applied. • In some cities — Chicago, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis — there are a small number of ZIP codes that pay around $1.40/month more than everyone else. • In the Philadelphia market, where Direc TV doesn’t carry the biggest regional sports channel, most ZIP codes are charged $0, but some face fees of up to $7.29/month. • Direc TV’s explanation is that regional sports programming varies by ZIP code, but there is no evidence that this is true for the examples we cite. We’ve heard a lot of complaints from readers about cable surcharges, but most of them don’t put in the extra effort that Connie did. She recently noticed that her Direc TV bill had gone up by $7.29 a month because of a Regional Sports Fee."

The letters ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan, [1] are written properly in capital letters and were chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly, when senders use it. The basic format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP + 4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP code, a hyphen and then four more digits, which enables a piece of mail to be directed to a more precise location than by the ZIP code alone. ZIP Code was originally registered as a trademark by the U. S. Postal Service but its registration has since expired.

These maps are designed for quick general lookup of census zip code polygon property land ownership areas. The Census Bureau does not keep up-to-date data-sets of all ZIP codes. ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAsª) are a new statistical entity developed by the U. S. Census Bureau for tabulating summary statistics from Census data. This new entity was developed to overcome the difficulties in precisely defining the land area covered by each ZIP Code. Defining the extent of an area is necessary in order to accurately tabulate census data for that area. ZCTAs are generalized area representations of U. S. Postal Service (USPS) ZIP Code service areas. Simply put, each one is built by aggregating the Census data blocks, whose addresses use a given ZIP Code, into a ZCTA which gets that ZIP Code assigned as its ZCTA code. They represent the majority USPS five-digit ZIP Code found in a given area. For those areas where it is difficult to determine the prevailing five-digit ZIP Code, the higher-level three-digit ZIP Code is used for the ZCTA code."

This year, 94022 ranks as the 11th most expensive ZIP code in the country. Three years into a national real estate recovery, home prices aren’t showing any signs of easing. That goes double for booming Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, where a voracious demand for any sort of real estate — be it sad little studio rentals or palatial Mc Mansions — has driven up the entire market. Northern California takes three of the the top 10 places on our list of America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes this year, and six of the top 20, led by Atherton, Calif. 94027. The median home price in 94027 — the most expensive ZIP code for three years running — was $10.6 million over the summer. Last year, it was a little over $9 million.

"text": "\"There are more than 40,000 ZIP codes in the United States, and there’s a system as to how they’re designated. It’s hard to imagine how mail could function without them, but ZIP codes weren’t always around. Before 1963, cities simply had “postal zones” in 124 of the nation’s most populated areas. But when mail started to boom, in order to meet the growing demand, the U. S. Postal Service decided to add five numbers to addresses to make mail more efficient as a part of a Zone Improvement Plan (the ZIP in ZIP code stands for Zone Improvement Plan). Around the same time, the Postal Service familiarized people with two-letter state abbreviations to be used in addresses to shorten state names like Pennsylvania (PA) and California (CA). In order to promote the idea of ZIP codes, “Mr. Zip” appeared as the cartoon mascot for the campaign, touting “Put ZIP in your mail!” While Mr. Zip is obviously a fictional figure, a Philadelphia postal inspector named Robert Moon is widely considered to be the real-life version and the father of the ZIP code even though the Postal Service refused to give him sole credit for the invention. Moon first submitted his “coding addresses” idea in 1944 and didn’t hear back. Then, after the third time he submitted it, the USPS adopted it but credited a committee with its development. On July 1, 1963, the Postal Service launched the use of ZIP codes, and today, they mean more than just where people are—they are often indicative of who people are, with some ZIP codes denoting wealth."

You could have more than one. You might have one billing address that you use for business, particularly if you travel a lot and don’t want mail or important packages shipped to or returned to your door step while no one is there you might like a UPS store ( they accept USPS, Fedex, DHL, UPS) and they inform you by email when packages are delivered there. You will have their physical address for the UPS store and box number. There is a charge but it provides peace of mind if you are out of town and another address for personal mail that could be your physical address ( where you reside) if you are lucky enough to have a mail slot where mail goes inside your house so it’s not left outside in a mailbox while you are at work or away. It’s up to you. Whichever address you have chosen, you can easily find the postal code with query search on google for the physical address you wish to use for your credit card or go to the usps.com website and obtain the zip code from USPS if you have no need to use other services. If you have already registered your address with cc company, call the number on the back of the card for customer service and ask them for the zip code they have on file or log into your account to view the address on file. It will include the zip code related to the information you have provided to them. You can talk to the credit card company if you have any other questions.37.3k Views · View Upvoterspromoted by Columbia Business School Exec Ed Learn investment principles used by Warren Buffett."

Zip Codes were first used by customers in 1963, but the reason was that automated mail sorting was going to come eventually and the system needed to prepare. Not long after a machine was designed that would handle letters mechanically but still be read by humans. They would key in the appropriate digits so the letters would fall in the needed bins. It was much faster than hand sorting, but was then followed by modifications to the machines that could read addresses using Optical Character Readers. Todays machines have continued to develop so they can sort mail into the exact sequence the Letter Carrier or Rural Carrier walks or drives. The barcodes you see on letters today show eleven digits, now that every mailbox has its own zip code.218 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Who was the first U. S.

Depending on what ZIP code you live in, you could pay anywhere from $0 to $7.29 a month (or $87.48 a year) to get the same exact sports networks and watch the same exact teams you watch now. The news site Consumerist published an extensive report about this on Wednesday.

In the above image, courtesy of Consumerist, you can see Direc TV monthly fees in Arizona of $0, $2.47, $5.83, and $7.29. AT&T's website says the fees vary by ZIP code \"\"due to contractual obligations requiring us to offer multiple sports networks in select ZIP Codes, or in rare instances, a single Regional Sports Network (RSN) that carries games from four or more teams.

"text": "California is home to some of the most expensive ZIP codes in the country, according to the most recent America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes rankings from business magazine Forbes. To find the priciest enclaves,housing market data provider Altos Research analyzed listing prices for single-family homes and condos in 29,500 ZIP codes across the U. S. (covering 95% of the population) and calculated a median, rolling average for a 90-day period ending Oct. 9, 2015. The 500 most expensive ZIP codes were included in the list. Atherton Leads the Pack The Golden State had 12 of the top 25 most expensive ZIP codes on the list (including four of those in the top 10), led by Atherton (ZIP code 94027), where the median home price is nearly $10.6 million and where undeveloped land can sell for upward of $7 or $8 million an acre. While you might expect homes in that price range to sit on the market for some time – after all, there’s a relatively small pool of potential buyers at that price – homes in Atherton typically sell in fewer than four months. Of course, $10.6 is just the median home price in Atherton, you'll find houses that go for much more. The priciest home on the market today (with a public listing) is a 16,000+ square foot, six bedroom/six-and-a-half bath contemporary Italian villa complete with Italian marble, solid walnut flooring, a 3,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and an elevated spa with infinity edge. The listing price: $42,800,000. In case you're wondering, that would be a monthly mortgage payment of nearly $200,000. With a median home price around $10 million, you’d expect to find some ultra-wealthy residents."

ZIP Code - Wikipedia Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ZIP _ Code Recently, in 1983, 4 digits were added to the zip codes. Let me continue with Wikipedia: In 1983, the U. S. Postal Service introduced an expanded ZIP Code system that it called ZIP+4, often called \"\"plus-four codes\"\", \"\"add-on codes\"\", or \"\"add ons\"\". A ZIP+4 Code uses the basic five-digit code plus four additional digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery. Great idea in theory, again, but not so easy to implement: But initial attempts to promote universal use of the new format met with public resistance and today the plus-four code is not required."

"text": "\"ZPP Library -- A set of C++ classes for reading . ZIP archives Copyright ©1999 Michael Cuddy, Fen's Ende Softwareminor modifications Copyright ©2000-2003 Eero Pajarre Version 1.0 (first Source Forge release)Overview Many programs, games especially, need to access large numbers of datafiles. These data files generally take up quite a bit of disk space not only for the storage of their data, but as \"\"wasted\"\" disk space due to cluster size limitations (on FAT12/FAT16 filesystems -- Fat32 has alleviated some of this wastage by using smaller cluster sizes). Traditionally, game programmers have relied on one of two main methods of data storage:store each data file as a separate filestore each data file in a custom archive format The drawback to the first solution is the wasted disk space problem, as well as the problem of slower installations (it's much slower to create one thousand 1KB files than it is to create a single 1MB file) and access (DOS/Win95 uses a linear search through the directory to open files -- the more files you have in a single directory, the longer it takes to open the files further down the list). The second solution provides it's own pitfalls, first is that you must write all your own image/sound/etc. loading routines which use a custom API for accessing the archived data. A further drawback is that you have to write your own archive utility to build the archives in the first place. The ZPP library addresses all of these concerns: Wasted disk space due to cluster size is alleviated by storing all files in a single archive, further space savings is achieved through support of the efficient DEFLATE compression method inside the archive. As the filenames in the archive are stored in an STL <map> object, file lookups are done with an in-memory binary search instead of a linear filesystem search, allowing for quick lookup of files contained in the archive. An implementation could be easily provided using the SGI STL <hash_map> for even faster, albeit \"\"unordered\"\" lookup."

"text": "\"There are more than 40,000 ZIP codes in the United States, and there’s a system as to how they’re designated. It’s hard to imagine how mail could function without them, but ZIP codes weren’t always around. Before 1963, cities simply had “postal zones” in 124 of the nation’s most populated areas. But when mail started to boom, in order to meet the growing demand, the U. S. Postal Service decided to add five numbers to addresses to make mail more efficient as a part of a Zone Improvement Plan (the ZIP in ZIP code stands for Zone Improvement Plan). Around the same time, the Postal Service familiarized people with two-letter state abbreviations to be used in addresses to shorten state names like Pennsylvania (PA) and California (CA). In order to promote the idea of ZIP codes, “Mr. Zip” appeared as the cartoon mascot for the campaign, touting “Put ZIP in your mail!” While Mr. Zip is obviously a fictional figure, a Philadelphia postal inspector named Robert Moon is widely considered to be the real-life version and the father of the ZIP code even though the Postal Service refused to give him sole credit for the invention. Moon first submitted his “coding addresses” idea in 1944 and didn’t hear back. Then, after the third time he submitted it, the USPS adopted it but credited a committee with its development. On July 1, 1963, the Postal Service launched the use of ZIP codes, and today, they mean more than just where people are—they are often indicative of who people are, with some ZIP codes denoting wealth."

"text": "The number of zip codes in the United States periodically changes as the U. S. Post Office finds it necessary to add new codes in response to increasing mail volume. According to the U. S. Census Bureau and other sources, there are at least 40,000 five-digit zip code areas in the U. S. In a period of one year, November 2006 to 2007, around 200 zip codes were added in the U. S. The zip code, an acronym for Zoning Improvement Plan, became necessary in the early 1960s as business mail increased to such a point that it was nearly 80 percent of mail traffic. An Advisory Board of the USPS Department recommended that a coding system be developed to facilitate the speed of mail handling by increasing the use of machinery to sort the mail. The particular system, the Zip Code system, began on July 1, 1963. Postal zones, already in place since the early 1940s, assisted in developing the new zip codes. The new system required that the entire mail system be realigned. The Metro System involved the installation of mail transportation centers in 85 cities in the United States. Next over 550 sectional centers were developed. Finally the particular codes were assigned to each center and then the particular addresses each served. By the start date of 1 July 1963, each address in the U. S. had an assigned zip code."

"text": "\"Friday, February 3, 2012When did we start using zip codes? Area codes? Using area codes to help efficiently sort post was introduced in 1943. However, by the 1950's a more specific and detailed guide was needed. This is when the United States Postal Service began using the ZIP code (ZIP meaning Zone Improvement Plan). It was first thought of by postal inspector Robert Moon - he submitted the proposal for a ZIP code in 1944. However, his idea was largely ignored until the 1960's. The ZIP code began to be used widely in 1963. When did we start using zip codes? Area codes?"

"text": "Submitted by teberhardt@edex... on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 16:00The other day, I posted a list of the 25 “fastest-gentrifying” zip codes in the U. S.—a list that generated a great deal of commentary. Now I’m back with a new, improved, and expanded list; give it a look and let me know what patterns jump out at you. * Non-Hispanic White With the new list, I’ve tried to address several complaints that readers lodged against me (and the post), most of them fair. First, many were upset that I equated “gentrification” with a significant increase in the white share of a neighborhood’s population. In my defense, I did admit that looking at the numbers by race was far from perfect—gentrification is a socio-economic issue—but census income data by zip code are not yet available for 2010. Still, I chose to use the “gentrification” word, and it’s reasonable to point out its inaccuracy. ( I didn’t even contemplate using the term “ whitened ”—what is this, Crest Toothpaste?—as some in the media did. ) Second, I failed to look at the population numbers for these zip codes, and as a result I included several that had tiny populations—phantom zip codes really. That included Columbia (SC)’s 29202, Chicago’s 60604, Roanoke’s 24011, and Dallas’s 75247, all of which had 2010 populations of less than 1,000. That was a rookie mistake."

A Billing Zip Code is the address you have (for example) Credit Card statements sent. This is the primary use of “Billing Zip Codes”. It may also be used by Healthcare providers to protect your privacy and identity. Most Credit card companies use the zip code of where your Credit Card statements are sent, as your Billing Zip code. For example, you home address might be 12435 Peach Street Anytown, Oh 44100, but have your Credit Card statements (Billing) go to a P. O. Box with a different (44101) Zip Code. They use the Billing Zip Code as a Verification tool to prevent unauthorized users from charging items on your card, if it were lost or stolen."

"text": "California is home to some of the most expensive ZIP codes in the country, according to the most recent America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes rankings from business magazine Forbes. To find the priciest enclaves,housing market data provider Altos Research analyzed listing prices for single-family homes and condos in 29,500 ZIP codes across the U. S. (covering 95% of the population) and calculated a median, rolling average for a 90-day period ending Oct. 9, 2015. The 500 most expensive ZIP codes were included in the list. Atherton Leads the Pack The Golden State had 12 of the top 25 most expensive ZIP codes on the list (including four of those in the top 10), led by Atherton (ZIP code 94027), where the median home price is nearly $10.6 million and where undeveloped land can sell for upward of $7 or $8 million an acre. While you might expect homes in that price range to sit on the market for some time – after all, there’s a relatively small pool of potential buyers at that price – homes in Atherton typically sell in fewer than four months. Of course, $10.6 is just the median home price in Atherton, you'll find houses that go for much more. The priciest home on the market today (with a public listing) is a 16,000+ square foot, six bedroom/six-and-a-half bath contemporary Italian villa complete with Italian marble, solid walnut flooring, a 3,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and an elevated spa with infinity edge. The listing price: $42,800,000. In case you're wondering, that would be a monthly mortgage payment of nearly $200,000. With a median home price around $10 million, you’d expect to find some ultra-wealthy residents."

Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers). Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US. You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your bank or can search this website for free."

Today's post shows how to apply that process using Arc Map and Data and Maps for Arc GIS. Suppose you want to analyze access to health care services in Riverside and San Bernardino counties in southern California. The five steps in the analysis process are: Frame the question Explore and prepare data Choose analysis methods and tools Perform the analysis Examine and refine results Step 1. Frame the Question This step seems straightforward because typically you're assigned a project to obtain specific information. Some projects involve answering several questions derived from a high-level question. How you frame the questions helps determine which GIS tools and methods you use for the analysis. In this example, you might frame a preliminary high-level question: Is the distribution of health care facilities consistent with the population distribution in Riverside-San Bernardino, CA? This question could be broken down into the following sub-questions: Where are facilities that provide health care services located? What is the population distribution within the study area?"

Canada's mail coding system is much more sophisticated than that used in the US. Canada uses a \"\"postal code\"\" system. A postal code contains three letters and three single digit numbers. First there is a letter, followed by a single digit number, followed by a letter. Then there is a space. Following the space is a single digit number, followed by a letter, followed by a single digit number. The genius of the postal code is that it allows mail to be sorted right to the individual street block or, in many cases, right to the individual building."

These maps are designed for quick general lookup of census zip code polygon property land ownership areas. The Census Bureau does not keep up-to-date data-sets of all ZIP codes. ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAsª) are a new statistical entity developed by the U. S. Census Bureau for tabulating summary statistics from Census data. This new entity was developed to overcome the difficulties in precisely defining the land area covered by each ZIP Code. Defining the extent of an area is necessary in order to accurately tabulate census data for that area. ZCTAs are generalized area representations of U. S. Postal Service (USPS) ZIP Code service areas. Simply put, each one is built by aggregating the Census data blocks, whose addresses use a given ZIP Code, into a ZCTA which gets that ZIP Code assigned as its ZCTA code. They represent the majority USPS five-digit ZIP Code found in a given area. For those areas where it is difficult to determine the prevailing five-digit ZIP Code, the higher-level three-digit ZIP Code is used for the ZCTA code."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Geography What Is a ZIP Code? ZIP Codes Are Used For Mailing, Not Geography Share Flipboard Email Printby Matt Rosenberg Updated August 03, 2017ZIP Codes, five digit numbers that represent small areas of the United States, were created by the United States Postal Service in 1963 to aid in the efficiency of delivering the ever-increasing volume of mail. The term \"\"ZIP\"\" is short for \"\"Zone Improvement Plan. \"\" The First Mail Coding System During World War II, the United States Postal Service (USPS) suffered from a shortage of experienced laborers who left the country to serve in the military. In order to deliver mail more efficiently, the USPS created a coding system in 1943 to divide delivery areas within the 124 largest cities in the country. The code would appear between the city and the state (for example: Seattle 6, Washington). By the 1960s, the volume of mail (and population) had dramatically increased as a vast majority of the nation's mail was no longer personal correspondence but business mail such as bills, magazines, and advertisements. The post office needed a better system to manage the huge quantities of material that moved through the mail each day. Creating the ZIP Code System The USPS developed major mail processing centers on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas to avoid the transportation problems and delays of transporting mail directly to the center of cities. With the development of the processing centers, the United States Postal Service established ZIP (Zone Improvement Program) Codes."

"text": "ZIP Codes: Map 1963 Through Today What is a ZIP Code? A ZIP code is a numbering system with separate code numbers for all cities in the United States. On April 30, 1963, Postmaster General John A. Gronouski announced that the ZIP Code would begin on July 1, 1963. The United States Post Office Department introduced the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code, a coding system that assigned codes on maps to all addresses in the country. In 1943 the United States Post Office Department divided cities into zones to assist in speeding sorting and mail delivery. By July 1963, a five-digit zip code had been assigned to every address throughout the United States map. What do the ZIP Code Digits Stand For? There are five digits in the original ZIP Codes. The first digit indicates one of ten large geographic areas in the country, ranging from zero in the Northest to nine in the far West. The second and third digits indicate metropolitan areas and sectional centers accessible to common transportation."

"text": "\"What are ZIP+4 Codes? ZIP+4 Codes are the last 4 digits of a nine-digit ZIP Code. A complete, nine-digit ZIP Code consists of two parts. The first five digits indicate the destination post office or delivery area. The last 4 digits represents a specific delivery route within that overall delivery area. All 9 digits of a full zip code assist the USPS in effectively sorting the mail. Though useful, most people do not know how to find their ZIP+4 code. How ZIP Codes Are Used Knowing what the last four digits of a ZIP Code are all about requires knowing what ZIP Codes themselves are all about. The Zone Improvement Plan was something that the USPS came up with to make it easier to ship letters and packages across the country. It helped \"\"zone\"\" the country according to how mail was distributed, which accelerated sorting and delivery."

You can input a town or zip code and then compare one or more local zip codes for median price, trend up or down and forecast in the next year up or down. It is not the same as the MLS average days on market, but it may be a place to start getting information so if you decide to contact someone you can ask more pointed questions about the market.

"title": "http://lwv.org/content/who-will-elect-president-electoral-college-system\nWho Will Elect the President? The Electoral College System",
"text": "\"8/8/2000Adapted from a pamphlet published by the League of Women Voters Education Fund in 1980Every four years, the Electoral College, a little known feature of our Constitution, enjoys a fleeting movement of fame. About six weeks after the long grind of the presidential election is over, the 538 members of the college meet in their respective states to perform their sole constitutional function: to elect the President and Vice-President of the United States. But the impact of the college on presidential elections is far greater-and more controversial-than its brief life indicates. For example, many knowledgeable observers of American politics attribute the predominance of two major parties to the winner-take-all feature of the college's state-based system. In all but two states, losing candidates, whether they got two million or two votes, get no electors. ( Maine and Nebraska allot two electoral votes to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote; the balance are allocated based on the popular vote by congressional district.) As a result, small parties and less well known candidates seldom have had a chance to affect the outcome of an election directly. The usual effect of so-called \"\"third-force\"\" candidates is to take away votes from one major party candidate in a close race, tipping the results to the other major party candidate. But if a third or fourth candidate does manage to carry at least one state or some electoral votes-and that has happened in four elections since 1900-then he or she may have a huge impact-partly because the House of Representatives gets to choose the President (and the Senate, the Vice-President) if the Electoral College can't produce an absolute majority. Politicians and pundits disagree as to whether the college favors small states, or whether it gives an indirect advantage to rural areas or to ethnic minority clusters in populous states."

A1- Annie Lyall Slaughter Direct democracy is a system of government in which members of the polity meet to discuss all policy decisions and then agree to abide by majority rule. Representative (indirect) democracy, on the other hand, gives citizens the opportunity to vote for representatives who will work on their behalf.2. Explain the interacting values that comprise the democratic faith, such as popularconsent, respect for the individual, equality of opportunity, and personal liberty;and examine how democratic values may conflict with one another. A1-Conner Trebour Popular consent and respect for the individual sometime clash because instead of relying on popular vote or consent, people respect and elect individuals to represent them. Equality of opportunity is something that compromises democratic faith by pulling down the importance of qualification for offices. Such as age and nationality restrictions.3. Analyze the interrelated political processes that comprise democracy. A1-Matt Mitchell Free and fair elections, majority rule, freedom of expression, and the right to assembly and protest all are interrelated in comprising democracy.4."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A constitutional amendment is a modification of the constitution of a nation or state. In many jurisdictions the text of the constitution itself is altered; in others the text is not changed, but the amendments change its effect. The method of modification is typically written into the constitution itself. Most constitutions require that amendments cannot be enacted unless they have passed a special procedure that is more stringent than that required of ordinary legislation. Examples of such special procedures include supermajorities in the legislature, or direct approval by the electorate in a referendum, or even a combination of two or more different special procedures. A referendum to amend the constitution may also be triggered in some jurisdictions by popular initiative. Australia and Ireland provide examples of constitutions requiring that all amendments are first passed by the legislature before being submitted to the people; in the case of Ireland, a simple majority of those voting at the electorate is all that is required, whereas a more complex set of criteria must be met in Australia (a majority of voters in a majority of states is also necessary)."

"text": "\" (Michelle Thompson for The Washington Post)In 1912, the U. S. Congress decided to approve a fundamental change to the Constitution by passing the 17th Amendment, which ushered in the direct election of senators. Until that time, state legislatures rather than voters had been responsible for choosing these representatives. “The 17th Amendment has changed things enormously,” former Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia once remarked. And because of its passage, Scalia said, “you can trace the decline of so-called states’ rights throughout the rest of the 20th century. ”But did this amendment lead to a decline in the power that states have today? Or did it instead ensure that senators actually better represented the will of the people across those states?

Numbers three through twelve were adopted by the states to become the Bill of Rights in 1791. So, in effect U. S. amendment number three of the proposed twelve is our First Amendment. There is normally a seven year time limit (with the possibility of an extension) for an amendment to be approved by three-fourths of the state legislatures (38 states) and to become a part of the Constitution. However, there were no time limitations set for the first twelve proposed amendments. Michigan became the thirty-eighth state to ratify the second proposed amendment that dealt with Congressional raises on May 7, 1992. Thus, two hundred and three years after it was introduced, the proposal placing restrictions on congressional pay raises became our twenty-seventh United States amendment and most immediate change to the Constitution.

United States Constitution‐ The current base of American Government made to enhance weakness shown by Articles of Confederation. It specifically details in three‐branching government and gives enough authority and powers to central government but not so much enough to abuse the power. Bill of Rights‐ 1st 10 amendments added to the Constitution, proposed on September 23, 1789 and later ratified on December 15, 1791. It was originally applied to the federal government only, but under the 14th amendment the Supreme Court came to apply it to the states as well. The Framers created the Bill of Rights to ensure that all U. S. citizens' rights would be covered and the government would never have too much power. The also wanted to be assured that the Constitution could never be misinterpreted to be used against the citizens it was supposed to protect. Articles of Confederation‐ The Articles of Confederation was our nation's 1st form of government however it was a very flawed form of government. Under the Articles of Confederation the U.

Thus, Pelagius needed to be elected by his Visigothic nobles before becoming king of Asturias, and so did Pepin the Short by Frankish nobles in order to become the first Carolingian king. While most other Germanic nations had developed a strictly hereditary system by the end of the first millennium, the Holy Roman Empire did not, and the King of the Romans, who would become, by papal coronation however, Holy Roman Emperor or at least Emperor-elect, was elected by the college of prince-electors from the late Middle Ages until 1806 (the last election took place in 1792). In the Church, both the clergy and laity elected the bishop or presiding presbyter. However, for various reasons, such as a desire to reduce the influence of the state or the laity in ecclesiastical matters, electoral power became restricted to the clergy and, in the case of the Church in the West, exclusively to a college of the canons of the cathedral church."

C., United States Websitesenate.gov Constitution United States Constitution The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress, which along with the United States House of Representatives —the lower chamber—comprise the legislature of the United States. The composition and powers of the Senate are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. [ 1] The Senate is composed of senators, each of whom represents a single state in its entirety, with each state being equally represented by two senators, regardless of its population, serving staggered terms of six years; with 50 states currently in the Union, there are 100 U. S. Senators. From 1789 until 1913, Senators were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented; following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, they are now popularly elected. The Senate chamber is located in the north wing of the Capitol, in Washington, D. C. As the upper house, the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it; these include the ratification of treaties and the confirmation of Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, federal judges, other federal executive officials, flag officers, regulatory officials, ambassadors, and other federal uniformed officers. In addition to these, in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for Vice President, the duty befalls upon the Senate to elect one of the top two recipients of electors for that office. It further has the responsibility of conducting trials of those impeached by the House. The Senate is widely considered both a more deliberative [2] and more prestigious [3] [4] [5] body than the House of Representatives due to its longer terms, smaller size, and statewide constituencies, which historically led to a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere.

For instance, if an elected-office suddenly becomes vacant or a legislature wants to put a referendum before the voters, then they can use a special election. The electoral process ensures that no leader can take control for an extended amount of time without forcing the elected-official to answer to the will of the people. Nevertheless, government must play an active role in structuring elections and the electoral process. Consequently, individual states carry out the electoral process by following their own state laws. Sections 2 and 4 of Article I of the U. S. Constitution provide states the right to choose their own Representatives and Senators for the United States Congress. The 17th Amendment, however, mandates that the people directly elect the senators, and explicitly bars state legislatures from choosing the state's U. S. Senators."

Vast authority over the two most important powers (control over the nation's military forces and power over money (article 1 section 8)= congress can led and collect taxes, deal with indebtedness and backrupcy, impose duties, borrow and coin money, control nations purse, provide for the common defense and general welfare, regulate interstate commerce, undertaken public works, acquire and control federal lands, promote science and useful arts, regulate the militia. Internal Institutions of Congress Over time, the size of Congress has grown and members have served longer careers. To handle this and the increasingly complex problems it has faced, Congress has become more institutionalized, adding many staffers and standing committees. The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives and of the majority party in the House. The majority and minority parties also elect a majority leader, majority whip, minority leader, and minority whip. These four offices exist in the House and the Senate, and the holders of these offices try to enforce party discipline on votes. Congress does much of the detailed legislative work in committees."

S. states or Washington, D. C. cast ballots for members of the U. S. Electoral College, known as electors. These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, for President and Vice President. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President or Vice President (currently, at least 270 out of a total of 538) is then elected to that office. If no candidate receives an absolute majority for President, the House of Representatives chooses the President; if no one receives a majority for Vice President, then the Senate chooses the Vice President. The Electoral College and its procedure is established in the U. S. Constitution by Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 4; and the Twelfth Amendment (which replaced Clause 3 after its ratification in 1804). Under Clause 2, each of the states casts as many electoral votes as the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, while, per the Twenty-third Amendment ratified in 1961, Washington, D. C. casts the same number of electoral votes as the least-represented state, which is three. Also under Clause 2, the manner for choosing electors is determined by each state legislature, not directly by the federal government. Many state legislatures previously selected their electors directly, but over time all of them switched to using the popular vote to help determine electors, which persists today."

The terms \"\"Government of the United States of America\"\" or \"\"United States Government\"\" are often used in official documents to represent the federal government as distinct from the states collectively. In casual conversation or writing, the term \"\"Federal Government\"\" is often used, and the term \"\"National Government\"\" is sometimes used.

The region shares boundaries with four of the ten political regions, Brong-Ahafo in the north, Eastern region in the east, Central region in the south and Western region in the South west. Most of the region's inhabitants are Ashanti people, one of Ghana's major ethnic groups. Most of Ghana's cocoa is grown in Ashanti, and it is also a major site of Ghana's gold-mining industry. read more........... Brong Ahafo Region The Brong Ahafo Region was created on 4th April 1959 (by the Brong Ahafo Region Act No. 18 of 1959). The Act defined the area of the Brong Ahafo Region to consist of the northern and the western part of the then Ashanti Region and included the Prang and Yeji areas that before the enactment of the Act formed part of the Northern Region. Before the Ashanti Empire was conquered by the British in 1900, the Brong and Ahafo states to the north and northwest of Kumasi (the capital of Ashanti empire and the present Ashanti Region) were within the empire. Nana Akumfi Ameyaw III traces his ancestry to King Akumfi Ameyaw I (1328-63), under whose reign the Brong Kingdom with its capital at Bono Manso grew to become the most powerful kingdom of its time. Indeed oral tradition has it that nearly all the different groups of the Akans, including the Asante, trace their origins to Bono after migrating from the “north”."

"text": "Share: All News In Proclamation 6920 of September 18, 1996, and exercising his authority under the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225) (the “Antiquities Act”), President William J. Clinton established the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in the State of Utah, reserving approximately 1.7 million acres of Federal lands for the care and management of objects of historic and scientific interest identified therein. The monument is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This proclamation makes certain modifications to the monument. Proclamation 6920 identifies a long list of objects of historic or scientific interest within the boundaries of the monument. In the 20 years since the designation, the BLM and academic researchers have studied the monument to better understand the geology, paleontology, archeology, history, and biology of the area. The Antiquities Act requires that any reservation of land as part of a monument be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects of historic or scientific interest to be protected. Determining the appropriate protective area involves examination of a number of factors, including the uniqueness and nature of the objects, the nature of the needed protection, and the protection provided by other laws. Proclamation 6920 identifies the monument area as rich with paleontological sites and fossils, including marine and brackish water mollusks, turtles, crocodilians, lizards, dinosaurs, fishes, and mammals, as well as terrestrial vertebrate fauna, including mammals, of the Cenomanian-Santonian ages, and one of the most continuous records of Late Cretaceous terrestrial life in the world. Nearly 2 decades of intense study of the monument has provided a better understanding of the areas with the highest concentrations of fossil resources and the best opportunities to discover previously unknown species."

Forbes’ annual list of The Best States for Business is just around the corner, so we thought it an apt time to take a look at the largest public companies in each of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. To compile our list, we captured the market capitalization for all public companies traded on the major U. S. exchanges as of the end of the trading day on Nov. 3, using data provided by Fact Set. Companies were sorted by the state where they have their headquarters."

With over 194 countries in the world, it's easy to think the word \"\"country\"\" equates to a massive land area with large numbers of people. Some nations are so small that cities within other nations are giants compared to them. Mostly found in Europe, the Carribean, and the Pacific, there are many countries in the world with an area of less than 400 square kilometers. The top 10 smallest countries in the world cover a total area of 1491.4 km² which is smaller than the area of the city of Houston, Texas (1625.2 km²)With their own governments and own culture, these small countries are some of the richest, most remote, and most intriuing places in the world.

Planet Earth is home to 7.3 billion people and over 1.5 million different species of animals, insects, and plants spread across 7 continents. Earth was not always comprised on seven continents. 175 million years ago the 7 continents were all connected into one supercontinent surrounded by a very large ocean. This supercontinent is known as Pangaea. It slowly began to break apart into 7 different pieces and drift into the positions we find them in the present. But, the continents are not at rest. They are always moving and over time will move and drift into entirely new continents over the next several hundred million years. What is a Continent? Though there are many definitions of the term “continent,” it is generally used to identify large distinct land masses that make up planet Earth’s surface."

"text": "\"Vital tools in the historic, collaborative effort to conserve America's sagebrush habitat balance demands of growing West Release & Contact Info Press Release Release No. 0153.15Contact: Cullen Schwarz (USDA), Cullen. [email protected] 202-720-4623 Jessica Kershaw (Interior), [email protected] CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 28, 2015 – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U. S. Forest Service (USFS) today released final environmental reviews for proposed land use plans that will help conserve greater sage-grouse habitat and support sustainable economic development on portions of public lands in 10 states across the West. The land management plans, developed during the past three years in partnership with the states and with input from local partners, will benefit wildlife, outdoor recreation, ranching and other traditional land uses that rely on a healthy sagebrush landscape. The updated plans are an essential element of an unprecedented and proactive strategy to respond to the deteriorating health of the American West's sagebrush landscapes and declining population of the greater sage-grouse, a ground-dwelling bird under consideration by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The collaborative federal-state effort includes three key elements to conserve the sagebrush landscape, which faces threats from fire, invasive species and encroaching development: a comprehensive strategy to fight rangeland fire, strong conservation plans for federal public lands, and conservation actions on state and private lands. \"\" The West is rapidly changing – with increasingly intense wildfires, invasive species and development altering the sagebrush landscape and threatening wildlife, ranching and our outdoor heritage,\"\" said U. S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell. \"\" As land managers of two-thirds of greater sage-grouse habitat, we have a responsibility to take action that ensures a bright future for wildlife and a thriving western economy. Together with conservation efforts from states and private landowners, we are laying an important foundation to save the disappearing sagebrush landscape of the American West. \"\"\"\""

S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia bookv t e The Eighteenth Amendment ( Amendment XVIII) of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession) illegal. The separate Volstead Act set down methods for enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment, and defined which \"\"intoxicating liquors\"\" were prohibited, and which were excluded from prohibition (e.g., for medical and religious purposes). The Amendment was the first to set a time delay before it would take effect following ratification, and the first to set a time limit for its ratification by the states. President Woodrow Wilson vetoed the bill, but the House of Representatives overrode the veto, and the Senate did so as well the next day. The Volstead Act set the starting date for nationwide prohibition for January 17, 1920, which was the earliest day allowed by the Eighteenth Amendment. The Amendment was in effect for the following 13 years. It was repealed in 1933 by ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment. The Twenty-first Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933. It is unique among the 27 amendments of the U. S. Constitution for being the only one to repeal a prior amendment and to have been ratified by state ratifying conventions.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States Prohibition Flag Share In US Constitution , Prohibition Why was the twenty first amendment passed? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed, repealing the 18th Amendment, which outlawed trafficking in 'intoxicating liquors.' The 21st Amendment was passed in order to undo the 18th Amendment. In short, a constitutional amendment, or any law, is repealed when it is found unconstitutional. Aside from the obvious issue of public opinion (people wanted to drink), it is important to note that, by and large, the constitution does not create prohibitions or restrict rights, rather the constitution restricts the government in order to ensure the broadest rights and privileges for Americans. The 18th Amendment was a departure from this, and took away rights from the states and from U. S. citizens. As such, it was an inappropriate amendment, and should never have been ratified, being contrary to the spirit of the constitution itself. The very language of the U. S. constitution specifies that all rights not specifically granted to the U. S. government through the constitution are reserved to the individual state governments, so the 18th Amendment overstepped the authority of government. But, once it became a part of the constitution, the only way to correct this was with another amendment."

It's been attempted hundreds of times to address controversial issues like gay marriage, abortion rights, and balancing the federal budget. Congress has been successful only 27 times since the Constitution was signed in September 1787. The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights because their aim is to protect certain freedoms granted to American citizens and to limit the power of the federal government.

The most recent amendment, which prohibits Congress from giving itself a pay raise, was ratified in May 1992. How to Amend the Constitution Article V of the Constitution outlines the basic two-step process for amending the document:\"\"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate. \"\" Proposing an Amendment Either Congress or the States can propose an amendment to the Constitution. Both houses of Congress must propose the amendment with a two-thirds vote."

"text": "Home / Conditions Treated / Herniated Disc Herniated Disc Overview The term herniated disc describes the condition when the intervertebral disc is injured, and its contents are bulging or protruding into the spinal canal. The terms slipped disc, ruptured disc, bulging disc, disc protrusion, and extruded disc, among others, all mean herniated nucleus pulposus (herniated disc), which is the proper medical term. Although disc injuries and degenerative changes (wear and tear changes as part of the aging process) occur almost equally in both the cervical and lumbar spine, cervical injuries are much less likely to require surgical treatment. However, patients with a severe cervical herniated nucleus pulposus are at risk for injury to the spinal cord, and require careful management. Causes The most common cause of a cervical herniated nucleus pulposus is gradual degeneration of the disc, attenuation (weakening) of the posterior annulus fibrosis, and subsequent protrusion of the nucleus pulposus into the spinal canal causing compression of the nerve root. Sometimes the disc injury occurs suddenly because of an accident or trauma. Most often, however, a cervical disc herniation occurs over time, and patients finally take notice when the neck pain symptoms and/or radiculopathy (radiating arm pain, numbness, and/or weakness) become significant. Although there is an extensive list of risk factors for the development of neck pain (and disc problems), a disc injury can occur in almost any person. A cervical disc injury occurs most frequently in people over the age of 40 years old, and affects men and women equally. The specific cause of a cervical herniated disc injury can often be identified if someone develops severe neck pain and radiculopathy immediately after an accident or injury."

"text": "A protruding disc is a disc in the spine which has herniated, meaning that the soft material which is normally on the inside of the disc has pushed through a weak point in the connective tissue which normally surrounds the disc. A variety of symptoms can be associated with a protruding disc, including back pain, numbness, tingling, or a general change in sensations in the region of the body connected to the nerves which pass by the disc involved. There are several treatment options for this condition, depending on the severity of the problem and the patient's condition. Protruding discs are also known as bulging discs, prolapsed discs, or slipped discs. They occur when the soft, pulpy material inside the disc, known as the nucleus pulposus, pushes against a weak point or tear in the annulus fibrosis, the outer layer of the disc. While the material does not actually leak out of the disc, at least in the early stages, it causes a characteristic bulge. The bulge can apply pressure to the nerves in that region, causing distinctive sensations in the area of the body connected to those nerves. As the normal signaling of the nerves is interrupted, the patient may feel heat, cold, prickly sensations, or numbness on the skin, even though these sensations are not actually occurring. The damaged disc can also cause back pain, especially in certain positions, and it can inhibit a patient's range of motion by causing considerable pain. It is most common to see a bulging disc in the lumbar spine, and for some reason, disc herniations appear to occur early in the morning."

The intervertebral discs serve to hold the vertebrae together, cushion the spine, and allow for spinal movement. Each intervertebral disc forms a cartilaginous joint. There are two main parts to the intervertebral disc, the outer annulus fibrosus and the inner nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus consists of loose collagen fibers within a mucoprotein gel, making for a flexible consistency. The jelly-like consistency of the nucleus pulposus provides shock absorption and flexibility to the spine. The annulus fibrosus consists of layers of fibrocartilage, and provides protection and shape to the intervertebral discs. There are a total of 23 intervertebral discs in the human spine. With the exception of the joint between the first two bones of the spinal column, the atlas and the axis, each of the bones in the spinal column is separated by a vertebral disc. The joint between the atlas and the axis allows for a different type of movement than the other vertebral joints, namely, the swiveling movement of the neck."

Despite its name, DDD is not considered a disease, nor is it progressively degenerative. On the contrary, disc degeneration is often the effect of natural daily stresses and minor injuries that cause spinal discs to gradually lose water as the anulus fibrosus, or the rigid outer shell of a disc, weakens. As discs weaken and lose water, they begin to collapse. This can result in pressure being put on the nerves in the spinal column, causing pain and weakness. While not always symptomatic, DDD can cause acute or chronic low back or neck pain as well as nerve pain depending on the location of the affected disc and the amount of pressure it places on the surrounding nerve roots. The typical radiographic findings in DDD are black discs, disc space narrowing, vacuum disc, end plate sclerosis, and osteophyte formation. ["

"text": "Health Tips - Back in the Game!4 Little-known Thoracic Herniated Disc Symptoms Dr. Douglas Vander Ploeg - Tuesday, March 22, 2016An extraordinary number of people have structural problems with their thoracic discs. Let’s look at what a thoracic herniated disc is, along with statistics and little-known symptoms. What is a thoracic herniated disc? The thoracic spine is the part of your backbone that includes your upper and middle back. It runs from the cervical spine of your neck down approximately 5 inches beneath the shoulder blades, where it ends at the lumbar spine. It includes a total of twelve vertebrae, called T1-T12. In between each of those vertebrae are thoracic spinal discs. Thoracic herniated discs are a structural issue that develops in a person when the gelatinous substance that is inside one of the spinal discs pushes out into the surrounding area. “ A spinal disk is a little like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior,” explains the Mayo Clinic. “ Sometimes called a slipped disk or a ruptured disk, a herniated disk occurs when some of the softer ‘jelly’ pushes out through a crack in the tougher exterior."

A herniated nucleus pulposus becomes increasingly common with advancing age, the result of wear and deterioration of the tough outer cartilage (called the annulus fibrosus) that allows the soft inner portion of the disk (called the nucleus pulposus) to bulge beyond its enclosure. Often there is a clear tear in the outer cartilage (a rupture). A traumatic injury, such as a motor vehicle accident, or heavy lifting may also cause a disk to herniate. This deterioration and bulging is common enough that doctors believe in itself it does not represent a health condition that requires treatment. However, the situation becomes problematic when the herniation places pressure against the roots of the SPINAL NERVES or the SPINAL CORD, causing PAIN and weakness or numbness in the leg (typically only one leg). Though symptoms may seem to start suddenly, they reflect processes that usually have been under way for a considerable time. Symptoms of Herniated Nucleus Pulposus and Diagnostic Path The main symptom of herniated disk is sharp, shooting pain in the low back and in the leg (called radiculopathy). The pain in the leg is more significant for many people, and the leg may feel weak or numb in certain areas, depending on which spinal NERVE roots the herniation compresses. Some people experience discomfort in both legs, may have difficulty walking, and may have partial or complete loss of bladder or bowel function."

"text": "Bulging Disc in the Neck Bulging Disc in Neck – In the spinal column there are discs between each vertebra. These discs are made up of soft gelatinous material (the nucleus pulposus) that acts as cushioning, or shock absorption, for the spine. They allow a certain amount of flexibility to the spine’s movements without the risk of harder bony elements grinding against each other and causing damage. Each disc has a tougher outer fibrous shell (the annulus fibrosus) which is there to keep the disc in shape. If these discs themselves become damaged, or misshapen, or if there is weakening and stretching of the outer fibers, the jelly-like center can protrude from its desired location between vertebrae and put pressure on the spinal cord and its nerve fibers. A severe bulging of a disc in the cervical region often results in the tearing of the outer layers of the disc also known as a herniated disc in neck and involves the disc pushing into the spinal canal, which may result in spinal stenosis – the narrowing of the spinal canal. Click to Enlarge Annular Tear An annular tear is a severe herniated disc in which the nucleus pulposus leaks out of the disc into the body. It is also known as a ruptured disc. Ruptured disc are often the result of trauma as in accidents, sports injuries or motor vehicle crashes. Ruptured disc are usually not painful unless the tear happens where the disc attaches to the vertebrae."

Along with the facet joints, these discs enable basic spinal movement like bending, flexing and twisting. There are two parts that make up an intervertebral disc: the nucleus pulposus, or inner layer, and the annulus fibrosis, or outer layer. The nucleus pulposus is gel-like fluid that acts as a shock absorber. The annulus fibrosus surrounds the nucleus pulposus and is made of strong, fibrous cartilage that gives the disc structure and enables even weight distribution of neighboring vertebrae. Intervertebral disc issues Intervertebral discs can be affected by a number of issues, but biggest one is probably the natural aging process. As we age, the discs dry out and lose elasticity, potentially leading to a condition called degenerative disc disease. These weakened discs become more vulnerable to everyday wear and tear or traumatic injury, and can lead to related conditions like bulging and herniated discs. A bulging disc occurs when the disc weakens or degenerates and protrudes into the spinal canal."

Symptoms of cervical disc herniation include: Dull or sharp neck pain which is intensified by certain positions or movements Pain between the shoulder blades Pain that radiates down the arm to the hand or fingers Arm numbness, tingling, or weakness In more severe cases, a cervical herniated disk can cause spinal cord compression. Symptoms of this more serious condition include: Problems with hand/arm fine motor skills Difficulty walking, i.e. stumbling/awkward gait Tingling or shock feeling down the torso/into the legs Cervical Spine Anatomy The cervical spine – your backbone – is made up of seven cervical vertebrae which are separated by discs that act as shock absorbers and which together with their adjoining facet joints allow you to bend and rotate your back and neck. Doctors commonly refer to these vertebrae as C1-C7, with C1 being closest to the skull and C7 near the chest/rib cage (thoracic) region of the spine. Each disc features an outer band called the ‘annulus fibrosus,’ which encases a gel-like substance called the ‘nucleus pulposus.’ In addition, nerve roots are found in the passageways between the vertebrae in the spinal canal which relay sensory and motor information between the body and brain. When damage occurs to the intervertebral discs, the nucleous pulposus may protrude from the disk, causing compression of the surrounding spinal nerves manifesting in pain. In the case of a herniated or ruptured disc, the annulus fibrosus actually breaks open or cracks, allowing the nucleus pulposus to escape. This is also known as herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). A ruptured or herniated disk may cause pain, weakness, tingling, or numbness in the arms, shoulders, and sometimes legs."

This symptom is often accompanied by low back pain, which can be more or less severe than the leg pain. The term sciatica indicates that the sciatic nerve, which travels from the lower back through the buttocks and into the leg, is thought to be the cause of the pain in this condition. True sciatica is a condition that occurs when a herniated disc or osteoarthritic bone spurs compress and pinch one of the contributing roots of the sciatic nerve. This is known as a pinched nerve. This type of lower back pain is less common than other causes and conditions that produce back pain. For instance, sporting activities, recreational activities, and heavy labor can cause back and leg pain, which is commonly misdiagnosed as sciatica. The challenge for a physician is to distinguish between radicular pain (also called radiculopathy ), which is caused by an inflamed nerve root, and referred pain, which is a result of a musculoskeletal sprain or strain."

This very contained disc (we have an article to help you learn more about intervertebral discs, should you want to) starts to take up more room than it should, and it can, as you're probably well-aware, cause you a lot of pain. The tough outer layer of the disc can start to weaken, allowing the jelly-like inner layer to push through, creating a bulging or herniated disc. Herniated Disc Cause #1: Wear and Tear on the Spine Pain from a herniated disc is often the result of daily wear and tear on the spine. This is also called degeneration. Our backs carry and help distribute our weight, and those intervertebral discs are made to absorb shock from movement (such as walking, twisting, and bending). Because our discs work so hard to help us move so well, they can become worn out over the course of time. The annulus fibrous (the tough outer layer of the disc) can start to weaken, allowing the nucleus puplosus (the jelly-like inner layer) to push through, creating a bulging or herniated disc. Herniated Disc Cause #2: Injury A herniated disc can also be caused by an injury. You can herniate a disc in a car accident, for example: the sudden, jerking movement can put too much pressure on the disc, causing it to herniate."

It can be separated into five different regions, with each region characterised by a different vertebral structure. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the vertebral column – its structure, joints and ligaments. Functions The vertebral column has four main functions: Protection – encloses and protects the spinal cord within the spinal canal. Support – carries the weight of the body above the pelvis. Axis – forms the central axis of the body. Movement – has roles in both posture and movement. By Teach Me Series Ltd (2018)Fig 1 – The vertebral column viewed from the side.

To understand the power of the immune system, all that you have have to do is look at what happens to anything once it dies. That sounds gross, but it does show you something very important about your immune system. When something dies its immune system (along with everything else) shuts down. In a matter of hours the body is invaded by all sorts of bacteria, microbes, parasites... None of these things are able to get in when your immune system is working, but the moment your immune system stops the door is wide open. Once you die it only takes a few weeks for these organisms to completely dismantle your body and carry it away, until all that's left is a skeleton. Obviously your immune system is doing something amazing to keep all of that dismantling from happening when you are alive!The immune system is complex, intricate and interesting.

"text": "\"Answer by Acid36 Confidence votes 6.1KThe lytic cycle is one of the two cycles of viral reproduction, the other being the lysogenic cycle. These cycles should not, however, be seen as separate, but rather as somewhat interchangeable. The lytic cycle is typically considered the main method of viral replication, and it results in the immediate destruction of the infected cell. A generalized scheme is presented here. There are variations in the process depending on the type of virus (its genome) and the type of host (bacteria or plant cells or animal cells). The six steps of the lytic cycle operative in viral pathogenesis can be summarized as follows: The virus finds a host cell/ Contact (or initial infection): Viruses require a host to replicate. To infect a cell, the virion links on to a specific region (like a receptor or a glycoprotein) on the surface of the host cell. Viruses do so by either attaching to a receptor on the cell's surface or by simple mechanical force. The virus enters the cell/ Injection (or in some cases the virus' genes are injected into the cell while the virion remains outside the cell): Once a virus attaches, it enters the cell through the plasma membrane and (if present) the cell wall. The virus then releases its genetic material (either single- or double-stranded DNA or RNA) into the cell."

Medical providers and public health practitioners today have replaced this term with more accurate and neutral terminology: sexually transmitted disease (STD) or sexually transmitted infection (STI). The term reproductive tract infection (RTI) is often used to describe infections that are sexually transmitted, as well as other common infections that may or may not be sexually transmitted (i.e. candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis). Epidemiology of STIs Sexually transmitted infections (STI's) are transmitted from person to person through vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected partner; and/or from a pregnant woman (if infected) to her fetus or baby during pregnancy and labor and delivery. In 2008, the CDC reported that a nationally representative study estimated that 1 in 4 teenage girls in the U. S. has an STD. The study included the most common STDs: HPV, chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis. There are approximately 15 million new cases of sexually transmitted infection each year in the United States, and 340 million worldwide. 30The majority of STI's are asymptomatic (no symptoms). Asymptomatic infections can be transmitted to sexual partners. Having certain sexually transmitted infections increases the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV."

"text": "\"Virus: A virus is an infectious agent of small size and simple composition that can multiply only in living cells of animals, plants, or bacteria. Viruses are microscopic; they range in size from about 20 to 400 nanometres in diameter (1 nanometre = 10 -9 meters). By contrast, the smallest bacteria are about 400 nanometres in size. A virus consists of a single- or double-stranded nucleic acid and at least one protein surrounded by a protein shell, called a capsid; some viruses also have an outer envelope composed of fatty materials (lipids) and proteins. The nucleic acid carries the virus's genome--its collection of genes--and may consist of either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The protein capsid provides protection for the nucleic acid and may contain enzymes that enable the virus to enter its appropriate host cell. Some viruses are rod-shaped, others are icosahedral (a roughly spherical shape that is actually a 20-sided polygon), and still others have complex shapes consisting of a multisided \"\"head\"\" and a cylindrical \"\"tail. \"\" Viruses are classified on the basis of their nucleic acid content, their size, the shape of the capsid, and the presence of a lipoprotein envelope. Thus, the primary division is into two classes: RNA viruses and DNA viruses. Outside of a living cell, a virus is a dormant particle; but within an appropriate host cell, it becomes an active entity capable of subverting the cell's metabolic machinery for the production of new virus particles."

Organization and Development of the Immune System The immune system is a wonderful collaboration between cells and proteins that work together to provide defense against infection. These cells and proteins do not form a single organ like the heart or liver. Instead, the immune system is dispersed throughout the body to provide rapid responses to infection ( Figure 1 ). Cells travel through the bloodstream or in specialized vessels called lymphatics. Lymph nodes and the spleen provide structures that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The bone marrow and thymus represent training grounds for two cells of the immune system (B-cells and T-cells, respectively). The development of all cells of the immune system begins in the bone marrow with a hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell ( Figure 2 ). This cell is called a “stem” cell because all the other specialized cells arise from it."

The result of HIV infection is relentless destruction of the immune system. All HIV infected persons are at risk for illness and death from opportunistic infectious and neoplastic complications as a result of the inevitable manifestations of AIDS. Retroviruses are unable to replicate outside of living host cells because they contain only RNA and and do not contain DNA. The variant of HIV that is the cause for almost all infections is known as HIV-1. Prevention of Infection There are definable risks for HIV infection based upon the major modes of spread: As a sexually transmitted disease Through injection drug use As a perinatal infection In places where blood products are not screened, there is a risk to recipients. HIV infection is not spread by casual contact in public places, households, or in the workplace. HIV is not spread by insect vectors. There is no vaccine to prevent HIV infection. Reduction in the spread of HIV can be accomplished in many ways: Treat HIV infection as an illness, not as a social stigma Reduce levels of poverty in society that lead to increased risks through drug abuse and promiscuity Provide HIV testing and counselling to identify infected persons who can reduce their risk to others Provide educational programs for children and adults which describe how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases Promote sexual barrier precautions among high risk commercial sex workers and clients Provide clean needles for injection drug users Create health care programs providing antiretroviral therapy to extend life and reduce HIV transmission rates Give HIV-infected pregnant women antiretroviral therapy to reduce perinatal HIV transmission Mechanism of Infection HIV primarily infects cells with CD4 cell-surface receptor molecules, using them to gain entry."

"text": "\"Combinations of Polypeptides Protein molecules are capable of coming together and forming complex arrangements or structures that are composed of more than one polypeptide subunit. Quite often, these larger structures also contain extra, non-protein material such as carbohydrate, lipid or even polynucleotides. These giant, \"\"super-molecules\"\", can take the form of multicomponent enzyme complexes, strong filaments that hold the contents of cells in place or are specialized for such roles as contraction (in muscles), ribosomes, membranes and hybrid structures such as viruses. Hemoglobin, for example, is an important oxygen carrying protein that consists of four polypeptides (two alpha-chains and two beta-chains) and four non-protein, iron containing, ring-like structures where the oxygen molecules are bound and carried. Such proteins are said to have quaternary structure, and these larger polypeptide arrangements can sometimes reach very large sizes. Probably the record quaternary structure protein is found in the bacterium Escherichia coli, where a cytoplasmic enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase is composed of 88 polypeptide subunits organized into three massive groups of catalytic enzymes. Cells and organisms take advantage of the fact that it is both easier, and needs less genetic information, to assemble very large complexes from smaller, easier to make subunits. For example, only one gene coding for a single polypeptide can produce enough small subunits to assemble into a very large protein filament that can stretch all the way across the interior of a cell. This is a great saving in the amount of genetic information which must be stored.

"text": "Suicide is a tragedy that occurs in all times and places. However, suicide rates vary around the world, so we made a map showing these differences. For most of the countries shown in the map below, suicide rate data comes from the World Health Organization. The WHO's mortality database is based on reports from governmental agencies from different countries. Most of the WHO data thus comes from more developed countries. For developing countries, numerous political, cultural, and religious hurdles make getting accurate information on suicide much more difficult. We were able to find estimates for suicide rates for China and India, not contained in the WHO data set. A widely referenced 2011 AFP article reported a rate for China of about 22.2 deaths per 100,000 people, and a survey published in the Lancet in 2012 estimated a rate of about 22.0 deaths per 100,000 people in India. Suicides are most prominent in Asia and Eastern Europe. Lithuania has the highest suicide rate among the countries for which we have data, with 28.6 suicide deaths per 100,000 people, followed closely by South Korea with 26.3 deaths per 100,000 people."

"text": "\"Why We’re Depressed Cold and wet winters may put a damper on Americans’ moods, but real depression is caused by several factors well beyond the most visible. Jobs, religion, health care and weather, among other factors, combine differently in each state to indicate the overall outlook of its residents. Yet some states struggle to recover from a dismal economy, and others, while troubled, continue to have hope. Main Street combined rankings from three equally-weighted studies which each used different characteristics to measure depression by state: access to and use of mental health care, self-reported mental health statuses as well as outside factors known to affect mental health. We used Mental Health America’s report, Ranking America’s Mental Health: An Analysis of Depression Across the States, which covered mental health care need, use and availability; plus a ranking based on Kaiser Family Foundation data showing the percentage of people surveyed in each state who said they had poor mental health. In addition, we used a recent happiness study by Hamilton College in the U. S. and the University of Warwick in the U. K. that took into account objective quality of life indicators like weather and access to national parks. The results may surprise you. Photo Credit: Kim Joar10th Most-Depressed State: Indiana The Indiana economy has taken a very real hit from the recession. Between May 2008 and May 2009 alone, the state lost 156,000 jobs compared with 132,600 jobs during the last recession between 2000 and 2003, according to the Indiana Business Research Center at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.

It is said to be haunted and a favourite place to commit suicide. Author Y Yuki. Ling Nov 05 2014As the Halloween and the All Souls’ Day had just passed, telling the tales about Japan’s Aokigahara could fit in the creepy feeling that everyone is still having now. Before we proceed, there is a need to inform our readers that the article and pictures might be disturbing, so don’t say you are not warned. Due to the high level of stress faced by the Japanese, Japan is seen as one of top countries with high suicide rates. According to a report by The Guardian, depression, serious illness and debt are among the common reasons one seeks to end their life. PIXTABack in the feudal era in Japan, committed suicide was seen as an act of honour. Samurai warriors would rather commit suicide, or known as seppuku (ritual disemboweling) than fall into the hands of their enemy – a way to uphold their honor and dignity. Even during the World War II, soldiers who joined the Kamikaze, the Special Attack Group to scarify for their country was seen as respectful and honoured."

"text": "Guns in Other Countries Myth: Countries with strict gun control have less crime Fact: In America, we can demonstrate that private ownership of guns reduces crime, but from country to country there is no correlation between gun availability and the violent crime rate. Consider this: Crime Rate High Low Gun Availability High United States Switzerland Low Mexico Japan Or, to use detailed data, we can contrast the per capita homicide rate with the per capita gun ownership rate between different industrialized countries (see graph below). Contrasting the data shows zero correlation between the availability of guns and the overall homicide rate. Fact: Countries with the strictest gun-control laws also tended to have the highest homicide rates. 1Fact: According to the U. N., as of 2005, Scotland was the most violent country in the developed world, with people three times more likely to be assaulted than in America. Violent crime there has doubled over the last 20 years. 3% of Scots had been victims of assault compared with 1.2% in America. 2Fact: “… the major surveys completed in the past 20 years or more provides no evidence of any relationship between the total number of legally held firearms in society and the rate of armed crime. Nor is there a relationship between the severity of controls imposed in various countries or the mass of bureaucracy involved with many control systems with the apparent ease of access to firearms by criminals and terrorists.” 3Fact: Even if we examine just firearm ownership and firearm homicide by country, we see no correlation between the two."

"text": "Summary The mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., has reignited a national debate on gun control. As elected leaders begin the dialogue, some facts are clear — there has been a massive increase in gun sales. Some things are not so clear — such as whether there is causation between more guns and more violent crimes. And some are contrary to the general impression — for example, the rate of gun murders is down, not up. We have decided to look at some of the rhetoric and how it squares with the facts, while offering some broader context to inform the debate. Rep. Louie Gohmert said that “every time … conceal-carry [gun laws] have been allowed the crime rate has gone down.” But that is far from a settled issue in academia. Dan Gross, head of the Brady Campaign used the number of daily gun murders as proof that “gun violence rates are not” going down. But the rate of gun murder is at its lowest point since at least 1981: 3.6 per 100,000 people in 2010. The high point was 7 in 1993."

In late 2010, additional categories will debut with over 800 of the highest bridges in North America as well as the 50 tallest bridges of the world. Throughout the history of bridges, the discussion of size has almost always focused on length - usually of the main span. This is natural given that the design and construction of a long span is usually the greatest challenge to an engineer who is attempting to cross over a deep body of water with a limited number of supports and the least amount of material. Of less interest to bridge engineers but just as effective aesthetically is the height of a bridge. A vast, vertical void below the structure seems to make the mass of the bridge more gravity defying, more surreal, more magical. The Royal Gorge Bridge in the U. S. state of Colorado - The record holder from 1929 - 2001Up until the new millennium, there were few bridges on earth that even came close to challenging the height record of the Royal Gorge suspension bridge in the U.

"text": "Data and resources Prevalence of mental disorders According to a systematic review of data and statistics from community studies in European Union (EU) countries, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland: 27% of the adult population (here defined as aged 18–65) had experienced at least one of a series of mental disorders in the past year (this included problems arising from substance use, psychoses, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders). These figures represent an enormous human toll of ill health, with an estimated 83 million people being affected. Yet even these figures are likely to underestimate the scale of the problem, as only a limited number of disorders were included and it did not collect data on those aged over 65, a group that is at particular risk. Rates for women are significantly higher as compared to those for men, except for substance use disorders (men: 5.6%, women 1.3%), and psychotic disorders (almost identical estimates). Overall rates are 33.2 versus 21.7. These figures also fail to capture the complexity of the problems many people face. 32% of those affected had one additional mental disorder, while 18% had two and 14% three or more. Disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs)Neuropsychiatric disorders are the third leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in Europe and account for 15.2%, following cardiovascular diseases accounting for 26.6% and malignant neoplasms (cancers) accounting for 15.4%. All conditions listed above are noncommunicable diseases which comprise 81.3% of the disease burden in the European Region followed by injuries which account for 10.2%. Three of the top 15 diseases responsible for disability-adjusted life years are mental health disorders: Unipolar depressive disorders are the third cause of DALYs (3.8% of all DALYs);Alcohol use disorders are the sixth leading cause of DALYs (2.9% of all DALYs);Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia are the 15th leading cause of DALYs (1.9% of all DALYs)."

[ 9]People have committed suicide in an endless variety of ways, including swallowing poisonous spiders, power-drilling holes in their heads, sticking hot pokers down their throats, choking on underwear, injecting peanut butter into their veins, crushing their necks in vices, and hurling themselves into vats of beer. [ 2]In China, someone takes his or her own life on average every two minutes. China accounts for nearly a quarter of the global total of suicides with between 250,000 and 300,000 suicides a year. [ 2]Among famous figures who committed suicide: Sigmund Freud, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Brutus, Judas Iscariot, Hannibal, Nero, Virginia Wolf, Adolf Hitler, Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Vincent van Gogh, Jack London, Dylan Thomas, Judy Garland, Rudolph Hess, Pontius Pilate, Socrates, and possibly Tchaikovsky, Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe.i [9]It is more likely someone will die from suicide than from homicide. For every two people killed by homicide, three people die of suicide. [ 2]Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death in the United States. [ 2]The most common types of suicide include copycat, euthanasia, familicide, forced, honor, Internet, martyrdom, ritual, attack, and cop suicides. [ 2]Abuse in early childhood may change the genetic structure of the brain, leading to a greater susceptibility to suicide Experts believe that early exposure to child abuse may disrupt the proper development of communication pathways within the brain and, consequently, abuse victims are more likely than their peers to commit suicide. [ 6]The spring months of March, April, and May have consistently shown to have the highest suicide rate, 4-6% higher than the average for the rest of the year."

"text": "\"This New Science of Societies: Sociology Sociology is a relatively new discipline in comparison to chemistry, math, biology, philosophy and other disciplines that trace back thousands of years. Sociology began as an intellectual/philosophical effort by a French man named Auguste Comte (born 1798 and died 1857). He is considered the founder of sociology and coined \"\"Sociology.\"\" Comte's Definition of Sociology is the science of society. In his observation Comte believed that society's knowledge passed through 3 stages which he observed in France. His life came in what he called the positivism stage (science-based). Positivism is the objective and value-free observation, comparison, and experimentation applied to scientific inquiry. Positivism was Comte's way of describing the science needed for sociology to takes its place among the other scientific disciplines. His core work, \"\"The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte\"\" was translated by a British-born philosopher named Harriet Martineau (1802-1876). She literally clarified Comte's original writing as she condensed it into a concise English language version."

The WEF ranked places in terms of the average life expectancy, showing where in the world people live the longest. As you'd expect, the more developed the economy, the more likely it is to have a longer life expectancy due to access to a high level of healthcare, as well as typically healthier diets. However, what's interesting is that some of the places listed have a lower life expectancy than expected due to the rise in mental health related issues resulting in suicide. WEF ranked the top 10 but places coming in joint spots means there are actually 15.

Global deaths per 1000 population selected ages, 2000 and 2012Despite the rates being relatively low, there is still significant mortality during the adolescent years. In 2012 an estimated 1.3 million adolescents died, down from 1.5 million in 2000. The mortality rate decreased from 126 to 111 per 100,000 between 2000 and 2012. This modest decline of about 12% continues the trend of the past 50 years 3. Mortality rates dropped in all regions and for all age groups except 15–19 year old males in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Americas regions. Mortality continued to be highest in the African Region, increasing from 34% to 43% of global mortality in 10-19 year olds between 2000 and 2012The leading causes of death among adolescents in 2012 were road injury, HIV, suicide, lower respiratory infections and interpersonal violence.all regions The major difference from the 2000 mortality data is that HIV-related deaths are estimated to have increased since 2000.

[ 3]On its first event in 2003, the 1999 World Health Organization's global suicide prevention initiative is mentioned with regards to the main strategy for its implementation, requiring: [4]\"\"The organisation of global, regional and national multi-sectoral activities to increase awareness about suicidal behaviours and how to effectively prevent them. \"\"\"\" The strengthening of countries's capabilities to develop and evaluate national policies and plans for suicide prevention. \"\" As of recent WHO releases, challenges represented by social stigma, the taboo to openly discuss suicide, and low availability of data are still to date obstacles leading to poor data quality for both suicide and suicide attempts: \"\"given the sensitivity of suicide – and the illegality of suicidal behaviour in some countries – it is likely that under-reporting and misclassification are greater problems for suicide than for most other causes of death.\"\" [ 5] [6]Suicide has a number of complex and interrelated and underlying contributing factors ... that can contribute to the feelings of pain and hopelessness. Having access to means to kill oneself – most typically firearms, medicines and poisons – is also a risk factor.

"text": "\"WITHOUT ENOUGH GIRLS-WHAT WILL LITTLE BOYS DO? Olympic hopefuls today. Who will they be tomorrow if they face life without a wife? In the developed world nature is usually allowed to run its course and the genders are in balance almost 100 percent of the time. At birth, the average is 106 little boys are born for every 100 girls. Around age 30, women pull even, and then begin to pull away. By age 75, there are almost twice as many women as men. In parts of the developing world, the story is different. China has become one of the few countries where men outnumber women, and in India the results are much the same. One of the causes is abortion based on gender."
