"text": "Home > Health Library Amniocentesis<< Back to Gynecology Tests and Procedures What is an amniocentesis? Amniocentesis is a procedure used to take out a small sample of the amniotic fluid for testing. This is the fluid that surrounds the fetus in a pregnant woman. Amniotic fluid is a clear, pale yellow fluid that: Protects the fetus from injury Protects against infection Allows the baby to move and develop properly Helps control the temperature of the fetus Along with various enzymes, proteins, hormones, and other substances, the amniotic fluid contains cells shed by the fetus. These cells have genetic information that can be used to diagnose genetic disorders and open neural tube defects (ONTDs), such as spina bifida. Testing may also be done to check for inherited gene defects and metabolic disorders based on the family history. Amniotic fluid also contains other substances that give information about the fetus. This procedure may be done in late pregnancy to check fetal well-being and diagnose fetal health problems, such as infection. If a baby is expected to be delivered early, amniocentesis may be done to check for fetal lung maturity. The fluid is sent to a lab so that the cells can grow and be analyzed."

Chromosome number is reduced in the daughter cells. They are haploid (n). They contain one copy of each chromosome instead of two. A diploid cell (2n = somatic cell = body cell) has two copies of each chromosome. One from the dad and one from the mum. A male (sperm) and a female (egg) gamete may then fuse (fertilisation) to form a zygote, which will have the same number of chromosomes as a somatic cell.4.2.2 Define homologous chromosomes."

"text": "\"Prenatal diagnostic testing is used to determine whether your baby has a chromosomal abnormality. The most common types of prenatal diagnostic tests available are chorionic villus sampling (often simply called “CVS”) and amniocentesis (often simply called “amnio”). At Advanced Women’s Imaging we are experienced at performing chorionic villus sampling (both the transabdominal and transvaginal approaches) and amniocentesis. Chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis are different from prenatal screening tests such as nuchal translucency scans. Prenatal diagnostic testing is considered an invasive way of determining the presence or absence of a chromosome abnormality. These tests involve putting a needle into either the placenta or amniotic sac of the developing pregnancy and hence they are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. These tests are usually performed only in certain situations. Prenatal diagnostic testing (CVS and amniocentesis) provide a definitive (100%) diagnosis of a chromosome abnormality. For example, CVS/amniocentesis will tell us either“no, the baby definitely does not have a chromosome abnormality\"\", or,“yes, the baby definitely has a chromosome abnormality\"\". This is different from the results of combined first trimester screening (nuchal translucency scan and specific blood tests)."

"text": "Print Overview Amniocentesis Amniocentesis is a procedure in which amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus for testing or treatment. Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy. This fluid contains fetal cells and various chemicals produced by the baby. Although amniocentesis can provide valuable information about your baby's health, it's important to understand the risks of amniocentesis — and be prepared for the results. Why it's done Amniocentesis can be done for various reasons: Genetic testing. Genetic amniocentesis involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid and testing it for certain conditions, such as Down syndrome. Fetal lung testing. Fetal lung maturity testing involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid and testing it to determine whether the baby's lungs are mature enough for birth. Diagnosis of fetal infection. Occasionally, amniocentesis is used to evaluate a baby for infection or other illness."

"text": "At age 35, a pregnant woman has a very good chance of delivering a normal, healthy baby. But “advanced age,” which in pregnancy means over age 35, does put baby at increased risk for genetic defects. “Women of any age are at risk of having babies with genetic abnormalities,” says high-risk pregnancy specialist Harish M. Sehdev, MD, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and vice chair of the Pennsylvania Hospital Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, both in Philadelphia. “ [ But] as a woman gets older, the risk for her baby having an abnormal number of chromosomes goes up. ”If you are pregnant and over age 35, your doctor most likely will refer you to a genetic counselor. This professional is specially trained to assess whether your unborn child is at risk for inherited problems at birth and afterward, and will explain the various genetic tests that can give you a more accurate picture of those risks. Genetic Testing: Non-Invasive vs. Invasive Tests Genetic screening tests give results that indicate the possibility of a problem. The most commonly performed screening tests are blood tests and those using ultrasound — a handheld diagnostic tool is rolled over your abdomen and, through sound waves, images of your baby are projected on a monitor. These are considered non-invasive tests because they don’t “invade” or probe inside the womb and therefore pose little to no risk. Blood tests are particularly useful."

She wanted to be screened, and she knew just what kind of screening she wanted — a test that's so new, some women and doctors don't quite realize what they've signed up for. This kind of test , called cell free fetal DNA testing, uses a simple blood sample from an expectant mother to analyze bits of fetal DNA that have leaked into her bloodstream. It's only been on the market since October 2011 and is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration — the FDA does not regulate this type of genetic testing service. Several companies now offer the test, including Sequenom and Illumina. Insurance coverage varies, and doctors often only offer this testing to women at higher risk because of things like advanced maternal age. \"\" I think that I initially heard about it through family and friends,\"\" says Seitz. \"\" They had had the option of it given to them by their doctors. \"\" To her, it sounded great."

Purpose Genetic counselors work with people concerned about the risk of an inherited disease. Thecounselor does not prevent the incidence of a disease in a family, but can help family membersassess the risk for certain hereditary diseases and offer guidance. Many couples seek geneticcounseling because there is a family history of known genetic disorders, infertility, miscarriage,still births, or early infant mortality. Other reasons for participating in genetic counseling may be theinfluences of a job or lifestyle that exposes a potential parent to health risks such as radiation,chemicals, or drugs. Any family history of mental retardation can be of concern as is a strongfamily history of heart disease at an early age. Recent statistics show a 3% chance of delivering a baby with birth defects."

It involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid in order to examine fetal cells found in this fluid. Amniocentesis is usually reserved for those women considered at higher risk of carrying a fetus with a chromosomal or genetic abnormality. The amniotic fluid extracted contains cells from the amnion and fetal skin, lungs and urinary tract, which can then undergo chromosomal, genetic, biochemical and molecular biological analysis. Annually about 5% of the pregnant population (approximately 30,000 women in the UK) are offered an invasive, prenatal diagnostic test, usually either amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) [ 1]. Timing of amniocentesis [ 1]: Early (between 12 and 14 +6 weeks of gestation): This is not recommended, as it is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and higher incidence of talipes. Mid-trimester (between 15 and 18 weeks of gestation): This is the most common time for the procedure. Third trimester: May be undertaken for late karyotyping and for detection of fetal infection in prelabour rupture of the membranes. Amniocentesis is an invasive test posing risk to fetus and mother. It is therefore not used as a screening test. Genetic counselling Genetic counselling should ideally be offered prior to any pregnancy, when there is a family history of a condition which might be diagnosed either by amniocentesis or CVS."

Division of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities National Center for Environmental Health Hani K. Atrash, M. D., M. P. H. Division of Reproductive Health National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Summary Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis are prenatal diagnostic procedures that are performed to detect fetal abnormalities. In 1991, concerns about the relative safety of these procedures arose after reports were published that described a possible association between CVS and birth defects in infants. Subsequent studies support the hypothesis that CVS can cause transverse limb deficiencies. Following CVS, rates of these defects, estimated to be 0.03%-0.10% (1/3,000-1/1,000), generally have been increased over background rates. Rates and severity of limb deficiencies are associated with the timing of CVS; most of the birth defects reported after procedures that were performed at greater than or equal to 70 days' gestation were limited to the fingers or toes. The risk for either digital or limb deficiency after CVS is only one of several important factors that must be considered in making complex and personal decisions about prenatal testing. For example, CVS is generally done earlier in pregnancy than amniocentesis and is particularly advantageous for detecting certain genetic conditions."

The amniotic fluid can be tested to determine if the fetus has certain kinds of chromosomal defects. What Happens During An Amniocentesis? During an amniocentesis, an ultrasound is used to visualize the baby. Then, a very thin needle is inserted into the lower abdomen and a small amount (about one ounce) of amniotic fluid is removed. The amniotic fluid contains fetal skin cells that have sloughed off and are floating in the amniotic fluid.

[ 1] [2] It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. [ 3] Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems. [ 4]Examples of properties of typical embedded computers when compared with general-purpose counterparts are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. This comes at the price of limited processing resources, which make them significantly more difficult to program and to interact with. However, by building intelligence mechanisms on top of the hardware, taking advantage of possible existing sensors and the existence of a network of embedded units, one can both optimally manage available resources at the unit and network levels as well as provide augmented functions, well beyond those available. [ 5] For example, intelligent techniques can be designed to manage power consumption of embedded systems. [ 6]Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers (i.e. CPU's with integrated memory or peripheral interfaces), [7] but ordinary microprocessors (using external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits) are also common, especially in more-complex systems. In either case, the processor (s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialized in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand."

"text": "Your Business Pervasive Networking Share By Jennifer Leah Stong-Michas Published In March 2005For an easy-to-understand overview of pervasive networking, we turned to Chris Nicoll, director of strategic marketing for Lucent Technologies: “In a broader sense, we see pervasive networking as the ability to communicate and access the same types of services-anytime, anywhere. This is regardless of the location, type of network or type of device used to access the network. There is a convergence of technology, business needs and end-user interest that is driving the development of networks to support pervasive communications, whether wireless or wireline, whether from home, business, hotel, coffee shop or on the move. ”Electrical contractors are most likely benefiting from the fact that pervasive networking takes place over a LAN (wired or wireless). Pervasive computing is the basis for pervasive networking. Nicoll explained the difference, and similarity, between the two terms: “In its narrowest definition, pervasive networking [is] primarily related to computer network. Now, users' needs have moved beyond hardwired and facility-based computing to interest in hardwired and wireless/mobile voice and multimedia technology and services that improve productivity and match their active professional and personal lives. ”Nicoll continued: “Pervasive computing and pervasive networking can be used interchangeably if you take the narrow definition. However, if you believe, as Lucent does, that networking can involve IP telephones, cell phones, personal digital assistants and computers, then the two terms are related though not interchangeable. ”Pervasive computing is more expansive in theory and practice, since it connects various devices."

By Bob Violino Tags: Asset Tracking PDF Email Print Definitions Save Article Jan 16, 2005 — Deploying a radio frequency identification system involves a lot more than purchasing the right tags and installing the right readers (see Basics of RFID Technology ). To get business value from the all of the information collected, companies will need middleware to filter the data. They may need to upgrade enterprise applications and integrate it with RFID middleware. Each component will have up-front costs and some unexpected costs. It's not possible to provide a list of every element that every company will need and the cost of those systems, but we'll explain each of the major components, provide some guidelines on costs and point out where there might be some hidden costs. Keep in mind that every company's needs—and every application—are different, so costs will vary widely from implementation to implementation. Tags and Readers Tags and readers are the main components of an RFID system. Passive tags are cheaper than active tags. But pinning down tag costs is not easy."

Ubiquitous Computing (often called Pervasive Computing) is used to describe when computing is made to appear as if coming from anywhere at all times. Probably the most “buzzword” worthy term that is on most people’s and organization’s minds is “the internet of things”. There are thousands of programmers and organizations everywhere trying to figure out what this means to them and how to monetize it. We are seeing some of this trickle to market as we have embedded processing and/or internet access in refrigerators, coffee makers, washing machines, lawn mowers, vacuums and more. There are three basic layers to this, they are: Task managementhow to “do stuff”Environment managementhow that stuff works within the context of the environment it exists within Environmentthe actual location/physical space/conditions the device with the embedded processor and capabilities exists in The biggest challenge associated with this revolution right now is consumer privacy and overall security.

"text": "\"Requirements & Specifications Carnegie Mellon University 18-849b Dependable Embedded Systems Spring 1999 Author: Eushiuan Tran Abstract: Defining requirements to establish specifications is the first step in the development of an embedded system. However, in many situations, not enough care is taken in establishing correct requirements up front. This causes problems when ambiguities in requirements surface later in the life cycle, and more time and money is spent in fixing these ambiguities. Therefore, it is necessary that requirements are established in a systematic way to ensure their accuracy and completeness, but this is not always an easy task. This difficulty in establishing good requirements often makes it more of an art than a science. The difficulty arises from the fact that establishing requirements is a tough abstraction problem and often the implementation gets mixed with the requirements. In addition, it requires people with both communication and technical skills. As requirements are often weak about what a system should not do, this poses potential problems in the development of dependable systems, where these requirements are necessary to ensure that the system does not enter an undefined state. The development of dependable embedded systems requires even more complicated requirements as the embedded system not only interacts with the software but also with the outside world. Therefore, the importance of establishing good requirements is even greater in embedded systems design."

Jeffrey | July 10, 2009 | 12:07 AM EDT (CNSNews.com) - Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection may be able to explain how living creatures can evolve from one form to another, but it cannot explain how something that was not alive evolved into the first life on Earth. Stephen C. Meyer, a Cambridge trained scholar in the philosophy of science, does have an explanation for how life on Earth began: the DNA in every cell of every creature shows unmistakable evidence of having been deliberately designed by an intelligent being. Meyer lays out his analysis in a new book, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design . He discussed his book and his case for an Intelligent Designer with CNSNews.com Editor in Chief Terry Jeffrey. Here is a transcript of their conversation: Terry Jeffrey: Welcome to “Online With Terry Jeffrey.” Our guest for this episode is Dr. Stephen C. Meyer. Dr. Meyer holds a Ph. D. in the Philosophy of Science from Cambridge University in England. A one time geophysicist and college professor, he’s now director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington. Meyer became part of a national controversy five years ago when The Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, a publication staffed by scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, published the first ever peer-reviewed article arguing for intelligent design in the creation of life on Earth."

Computer engineering refers to the study that integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences to design and develop computer systems and other technological devices. Computer engineering professionals have expertise in a variety of diverse areas such as software design, electronic engineering and integrating software and hardware. Computer engineering allows professionals to engage in a number of areas such as analyzing and designing anything from simple microprocessors to highly featured circuits, software design, and operating system development. Computer engineering is not limited to operating computer systems but is aimed at creating a broad way to design more comprehensive technological solutions. Also known as computer system engineering. Techopedia explains Computer Engineering The term computer engineering is often confused with computer science, but these two terms are different. Computer scientists are responsible for electrical and software manufacturing, while computer engineers are trained to design software and perform and integrate that software with hardware components. Computer engineering also includes the engineers who write firmware specifically for embedded microcontrollers, design and develop analog sensors, design very-large-scale integration chips, and create schemes for mixed- and single-circuit boards. The engineering field of computer sciences also contributes to robotic research that requires digital systems to monitor electrical components like motors and sensors."

"text": "\"Introducing the TPMThe Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a special purpose microcontroller designed by the Trusted Computing Group, which interfaces with a standard hardware/software platform in order to allow it to be secured to serve the interests of just one party - the system designer. The current generation of TPMs (version 1.2) are stand-alone chips which are usually surface mounted onto the motherboard of a PC, or integrated into a custom PCB for an embedded device. The TPM can monitor and access the main bus of the computer, which allows it to keep track of and report on the configuration state of the entire computer, from the moment of power-on right through - potentially - to the execution of applications on a modern graphical operating system. Monitoring in itself has limited uses, but combined with access control for secrets based on the monitoring of state, all sorts of interesting applications become possible. For example if a PC is booted into a certain trustworthy state where only a fixed set of applications are installed, the monitoring TPM could then grant access to data storage and encryption keys for high security email. Additionally, the TPM can attest to the configuration of the computer to external third parties, be it the owner of a device wishing to remotely manage it, or a device manufacturer leaving a device in the hands of an untrusted third party. Finally, in order to support requirements for availability, and to guard against equipment failure, the TPM includes command infrastructure and protocols for migration of data between trusted devices, and for use of third parties as privacy or migration brokers. At time of creation, data can be designated as either migrateable or non-migrateable, depending upon the protection model required. In short, the TPM puts tools in the hands of operating system designers to protect themselves from attackers with logical access to low-level parts of the computer (for instance attackers who can swap out a hard drive). A Cost-Effective Architecture The TPM architecture and data format has been designed to achieve the desired functionality, whilst always observing and maintaining cost-effectiveness - to keep it suitable for incorporation into millions of computers at little additional cost."

He uses his company’s Unisom RTOS as an example of how POSIX compliance provides a platform independent means for porting embedded apps between compliant MCU platforms. POSIX has been the core API for most operating systems for many years, with the notable exception of Windows. During this time, the Portable Operating System for Unix (POSIX) API has been extended to include real-time and embedded system support, and this variant has gained prominence for embedded operating systems including embedded Linux. Now, with the emergence of wireless communications communicating directly from machine to machine in what has now become known as the Internet of Things, the same trends that led to the development of POSIX as a platform independent means of porting applications indicate that it may play the same role in embedded Io Ts. How do these two sets of technologies intersect? How will the timeless POSIX API (Figure 1) influence the rapidly emerging Io T development? And how will Io T influence the slowly evolving POSIX standards? This article addresses these key questions and provides practical examples of using POSIX APIs on microcontrollers (MCUs) and small microprocessors (MPUs) in order to evaluate the benefits and limitations of POSIX for the Internet of Things. Embedded Linux history Unix vendors needed a common standard for portability of applications, and the POSIX standard emerged to address problems of portability and tool incompatibility."

Academic and industry labs have developed a host of prototype gesture interfaces, ranging from room-sized systems with multiple cameras to detectors built into laptops’ screens. But MIT researchers have developed a system that could make gestural interfaces much more practical. Aside from a standard webcam, like those found in many new computers, the system uses only a single piece of hardware: a multicolored Lycra glove that could be manufactured for about a dollar. Other prototypes of low-cost gestural interfaces have used reflective or colored tape attached to the fingertips, but “that’s 2-D information,” says Robert Wang, a graduate student in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory who developed the new system together with Jovan Popović, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science. “"

Watch Video Anne Trafton | MIT News Office April 1, 2015Press Inquiries Analyzing people’s keystrokes as they type on a computer keyboard can reveal a great deal of information about the state of their motor function, according to a new study from MIT. In a paper appearing in Scientific Reports, the researchers found that their algorithm for analyzing keystrokes could distinguish between typing done in the middle of the night, when sleep deprivation impairs motor skills, and typing performed when fully rested. The study, which grew out of the Madrid-MIT M+Vision Consortium, is based on the premise that “there might be hidden information in the way that we type,” says Ian Butterworth, one of the authors and an M+Vision fellow. “ At the moment, pretty much all of the other information in typing is thrown out. We just pay attention to what keys are being pressed, not when or for how long. ”While this study focused on the effects of fatigue, it also represents a first step toward using keystroke patterns to diagnose conditions that impair motor function, such as Parkinson’s disease, much earlier than is now possible, the researchers say. Preliminary results from a study of about two dozen Parkinson’s patients suggest that the researchers’ algorithm for analyzing keystrokes can also distinguish people who have the disease from those who don’t. The team is now planning a larger study of Parkinson’s patients. M+Vision fellows Luca Giancardo, Alvaro Sanchez-Ferro, and Carlos Sanchez Mendoza are also authors of the paper, along with Jacob Hooker, an associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School."

"text": "\"For other uses, see Bear arms (disambiguation), Right to keep and bear arms in the United States, and Overview of gun laws by nation. The right to keep and bear arms (often referred to as the right to bear arms) is the people's right to possess weapons (arms) for their own defense, as described in the philosophical and political writings of Aristotle, Cicero, John Locke, Machiavelli, the English Whigs and others. [ 1]Inclusion of this right in a written constitution is uncommon. In 1875, 17 percent of constitutions included a right to bear arms, yet, since the early twentieth century, \"\"the proportion has been less than 9 percent and falling\"\". [ 2] In their historical survey and comparative analysis of constitutions dating back to 1789, [2] Tom Ginsburg and colleagues \"\"identified only 15 constitutions (in nine countries) that had ever included an explicit right to bear arms. Almost all of these constitutions have been in Latin America, and most were from the 19th century\"\". [ 3]Generally, where modern constitutions refer to arms at all, the purpose is \"\"to allow the government to regulate their use or to compel military service, not to provide a right to bear them\"\". [ 2] Constitutions which historically guaranteed a right to bear arms are those of Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Liberia, Mexico, Nicaragua and the United States of America. [ 4] Nearly all of the Latin American examples were modelled on that of the United States. [ 3] At present, out of the world’s nearly 200 constitutions, three still include a right to bear arms: Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States; of these three, only the last does not include explicit restrictive conditions.

"text": "\"Should States Expand Gun Restrictions or Gun Rights? Ballot measures in Missouri and Washington state ask voters to weigh in on government's role in regulating firearms.by J. B. Wogan | August 4, 2014Almost two years since a gunman killed 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., prompting a wave of new state gun laws, residents of Washington and Missouri will vote on government’s role in regulating firearms. A measure on Missouri’s Aug. 5 primary ballot asks that the right to bear arms -- already enshrined in the state constitution -- be amended with further legal protections. Two opposing measures on the November ballot in Washington state seek to expand or limit background checks for gun sales. The questions before voters in the two states embody the bifurcated nature of American gun policy today. While some states pursue an agenda that lets people carry firearms in more places and purchase guns faster with fewer hurdles in the screening process, others have sought to limit access to firearms, especially rapid-fire rifles and magazines with more than 10 bullets. RELATEDDallas Zoo May Have to Allow Guns Concealed Carry Permits Don't Affect Crime Permit Requirements Could Reduce Gun Deaths Missouri Voters Expand Constitutional Gun Rights10 New State Laws That Loosen Gun Restrictions The proposed change in Missouri would take the existing state constitutional right to keep and bear arms and extend it to ammunition and “accessories typical to the normal function of such arms. ”The amendment also characterizes the rights guaranteed in the state constitution as “unalienable” and requires that any restrictions placed on these rights to be subject to strict legal scrutiny. In practical terms, that means that if the legislature or a city council tried to pass a gun regulation in the future, it would have to demonstrate a compelling reason for the restriction and narrowly tailor the restriction to meet that goal. The measure also gives a higher level of legal protection to those wearing concealed firearms."

"text": "\"Ten More States Allow Concealed Carry Permits Within Last 10 Years By Melanie Arter | August 7, 2012 | 4:13 PM EDT (AP photo) (CNSNews.com) – The number of states issuing concealed carry permits has increased by 10 in the past 10 years, according to a report issued by the U. S. Government Accountability Office on July 17. The number of shall-issue states increased from 29 in June 2002 to 39 by March 2012, and the number of states that do not require a permit to carry a concealed weapon increased from one in June 2002 to four in March 2012. The number of may-issue states dropped, however, from 13 in 2002 to 10 in 2012. In the 2012 breakdown of concealed carry gun permits, the GAO counts four states – Alaska, Arizona, Rhode Island, and Wyoming - in two categories, “so the total number of states and the District of Columbia adds to 55 in this analysis,” the GAO explained. “Alaska, Arizona, and Wyoming do not require permits but are considered shall-issue, and Rhode Island provides may- and shall-issue authority,” the report said. “Rhode Island law provides for two mechanisms for obtaining a permit: the Rhode Island Attorney General has ‘may-issue’ authority to issue permits under R. I. Gen. Laws 11-47-18, and cities and towns have ‘shall-issue’ authority, with limited discretion, to issue a permit under R. I. Gen. Laws 11-47-11,” the GAO added. May-issue means the state “applies discretion in granting permits to carry concealed handguns. Shall-issue means that “issuing authorities are required to issue a permit to an applicant that fulfills the objective statutory criteria if no statutory reason for denial exists. ”The number of states that do not issue concealed carry permits has dropped from seven and the District of Columbia in June 2002 to one and the District of Columbia in March 2012. No-issue states do not allow residents or nonresidents to carry concealed handguns, and permit not required states do not require a permit to carry a concealed handgun."

"text": "Jul 29, 2007 Posted by Sebastian in Guns, Law | 8 comments Armor Piercing Ammo The regulations on armor piercing ammo are among the strangest of the federal firearms regulations. The first is that AP ammo is rather odd in its definition. The ATF defines it as handgun ammunition, but there’s a catch. If any handgun has ever been made in a specific caliber, then ATF considers that the AP ammo regulations then apply to that caliber. That’s why you can’t buy AP ammo for cartridges like 7.62×39 and several others. The 5.56x45NATO is specifically exempted from this, even though there are pistols made for it. It’s perfectly legal to possess, purchase, sell or shoot armor piercing ammunition. It’s not legal to manufacture or import armor piercing ammunition. In order to manufacture AP rounds, you have to hold a type 10 FFL (18 USC sec. 922 (a) (7))."

In 1934 the government passed a law banning any person who had been convicted of a violent felony from owning a gun. This was in addition to an existing ban keeping violent felons from owning machine guns - the new law basically said that violent felons couldn't own any type of firearm. This restriction was expanded in 1968 to include all felonies (not just violent ones). This practice continues to this day - except in rare circumstances where your civil rights are \"\"restored\"\" (this is only a possibility in a few states), or until your felony is expunged, you are not eligible under federal law to legally own a firearm. Ammunition Many felons don't realize this, but the federal ban on owning a firearm also applies to any type of ammunition - if you are caught with just a bullet you are in violation of this ban and subject to another felony (this one federal, meaning a lot more jail time and less chance of a pardon). Does this only apply to concealed weapons? Actually this law applies not only to concealed weapons, but also to any firearm that might be in your own."

How these firearms are defined and regulated varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban enacted in 1994 expired in 2004. Attempts to renew this ban have failed, as have attempts to pass a new ban, such as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (AWB 2013). Seven U. S. states have assault weapons bans: three were enacted before the 1994 federal ban and four more passed before the federal ban expired. The majority of states, forty-three, have no assault weapons ban, although two, Minnesota and Virginia, have training and background check requirements for purchasers of assault weapons that are more stringent than those for ordinary firearms. While there are no statewide assault weapon bans in Colorado and Illinois, local bans exist in certain cities or counties in each of these states. The 1994 federal and 1989 state ban in California were prompted by the 1989 Cleveland Elementary School shooting in Stockton, California. Existing and proposed weapon bans come under renewed interest in the wake of mass shootings, most recently after the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. In addition to state bans, Washington, D. C. and some U. S. counties and municipalities have assault weapons laws."

"text": "I recently spoke on a panel at the Florida Liberty Summit in Orlando, Florida, about the Second Amendment and gun control. Because I have written many articles on these topics for Campaign for Liberty, the Tenth Amendment Center, Lew Rockwell.com, and the Future of Freedom Foundation, I thought it might be a good idea to reread them in order to be mentally prepared for any questions I would be asked by the moderator or the audience at the conference. In going through the articles, I came up with ten themes on the Second Amendment and gun control that summarize my thoughts on these matters.1. Criminals aren’t deterred by gun-control laws. If you are going to commit armed robbery or murder, the last thing on your mind is concern about violating some gun-control law. Gun-control laws infringe upon the freedom of law-abiding Americans.2. The Heller and Mc Donald Supreme Court decisions did not institute gun freedom. The Heller case (2008) acknowledged that the Second Amendment protects “an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes.” The Mc Donald case (2010) affirmed that opinion. The cases did not invalidate a single federal gun-control law or regulation."

Activation of B cell receptor (BCR) by the antigen induces MAP kinase-mediated phosphorylation of BCL6 protein which leads to BCL6 degradation by the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway ( Niu et al., 1998 ).

The first primary teeth are initiated from the primary dental lamina, and the replacement teeth from the successional dental lamina at the lingual side of the primary teeth. An interdental lamina connects the primary tooth germs together. Most mammalian tooth development research is done on mouse, which does not have teeth in all tooth classes, does not replace its teeth, and does not develop an interdental lamina. We have used the ferret ( Mustela putorius furo) as a model animal to elucidate the morphological changes and gene expression during the development of the interdental lamina and the initiation of primary teeth. In addition we have analyzed cell–cell signaling taking place in the interdental lamina as well as in the successional lamina during tooth replacement. By 3D reconstructions of serial histological sections we observed that the morphogenesis of the interdental lamina and the primary teeth are intimately linked. Expression of Pitx2 and Foxi3 in the interdental lamina indicates that it has odontogenic identity, and there is active signaling taking place in the interdental lamina. Bmp4 is coexpressed with the stem cell factor Sox2 at its lingual aspect suggesting that the interdental lamina may retain competence for tooth initiation. We show that when tooth replacement is initiated there is Wnt pathway activity in the budding successional lamina and adjacent mesenchyme but no active Fgf or Eda signaling."

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been shown to be effective for muscle-targeted gene transfer. Recent progress in characterization of AAV serotype 1 (AAV1) and AAV6 demonstrated that these two AAV serotypes are far more efficient in transducing muscle than is the traditionally used AAV2. Since all cis elements are identical in these vectors, the potential determinants for their differences in transducing muscle appear to be located within the AAV capsid proteins. In the present study, a series of AAV capsid mutants were generated to identify the major regions affecting AAV transduction efficiency in muscle. Replacement of amino acids 350 to 736 of AAV2 VP1 with the corresponding amino acids from VP1 of AAV1 resulted in a hybrid vector that behaved very similarly to AAV1 in vitro and in vivo in muscle. Characterization of additional mutants carrying smaller regions of the AAV1 VP1 amino acid sequence in the AAV2 capsid protein suggested that amino acids 350 to 430 of VP1 function as a major tissue tropism determinant. Further analysis showed that the heparin binding domain and the major antigenic determinants in the AAV capsid region were not necessary for the efficiency of AAV1 transduction of muscle. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a defective parvovirus that requires a helper virus to complete its lytic infection."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Morbidity for men and women with hypogonadism includes infertility and an increased risk of osteoporosis; there is no increase in mortality. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (see the image below) is one of several types of hypogonadism. Types of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Signs and symptoms History Considerations in the evaluation of males with hypogonadism include the following: Developmental anomalies associated with the genital system (eg, hypospadias, micropenis, and cryptorchidism) [ 1]For postpubertal males, the rate of beard growth, libido and sexual function, muscle strength, and energy levels Possible causes of acquired testicular failure (eg, mumps orchitis, trauma, radiation exposure of the head or testes, and chemotherapy)Drugs that may interrupt testicular function - Including agents that interfere with testosterone synthesis, such as spironolactone and cyproterone. Agents such as cortisol, marijuana, heroin, and methadone may interfere with gonadotropin secretion. Considerations in the evaluation of females with hypogonadism include the following: Signs associated with Turner syndrome (eg, lymphedema, cardiac or renal congenital anomalies, and short growth pattern)Age of menarche Physical examination Considerations in the physical examination of males with hypogonadism include the following: Evaluation of the testes: This is the most important feature of the physical examination; determine whether both testes are palpable, their position in the scrotum, and their consistency; testes size can be quantitated by comparison with testicular models (orchidometer), or their length and width may be measured Examination of the genitalia for hypospadias Examination of the scrotum to see if it is completely fused Evaluation of the extent of virilization Staging of puberty: Use the Tanner criteria for genitalia, pubic hair, and axillary hair Examination for signs of Klinefelter syndrome (eg, tall stature, especially if the legs are disproportionately long, gynecomastia, small or soft testes, and a eunuchoid body habitus)Considerations in the physical examination of females with hypogonadism include the following: Examination of the genitalia is important Determination of the extent of androgenization: May be adrenal or ovarian in origin and is demonstrated in pubic and axillary hair Determination of the extent of estrogenization: As evidenced by breast development and maturation of the vaginal mucosa Examination for signs of Turner syndrome (eg, short stature, webbing of the neck [such as pterygium colli], a highly arched palate, short fourth metacarpals, widely spaced nipples, or multiple pigmented nevi)See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis The following studies may be indicated in males with hypogonadism: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels Prolactin levels Testosterone levels Thyroid function Seminal fluid examination Karyotyping Testicular biopsy For males after puberty, the Guidelines of the Endocrine Society [ 2] require that the diagnosis of hypogonadism be based on symptoms and signs of hypogonadism plus the presence of a low testosterone level measured on at least 2 occasions. The following studies may be indicated in females with hypogonadism: FSH levels LH levels Prolactin levels Estradiol levels Antiovarian antibody levels: If gonadotropin levels are elevated Thyroid function Karyotyping Additional tests in the evaluation of patients with hypogonadism include the following: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation testing: In patients in whom a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is suspected, adrenal steroid synthesis is best evaluated by performing a cosyntropin (ACTH 1-24) stimulation test Luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) stimulation testing: To distinguish between true hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and constitutional delay in growth and maturation Testicular tissue testing: If the testes are not palpable and if it is not certain whether any testicular tissue is present, administering human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG) and measuring testosterone response may be helpful See Workup for more detail. Management Hormonal replacement The simplest and most successful treatment for males and females with either hypergonadotropic or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is replacement of sex steroids, but the therapy does not confer fertility or, in men, stimulate testicular growth. When fertility is desired, an alternative therapy for men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is administration of pulsatile LHRH or injections of h CG and FSH. ("

Shawky Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmhg.2014.01.003 Get rights and content Open Access funded by Ain Shams University Under a Creative Commons license Abstract For many inherited diseases, the same mutation is not always expressed in all persons who carry it, moreover, when the mutation is expressed, it is not always expressed in the same way. These findings are the basis for the concepts of penetrance and expressivity. Understanding the factors that control penetrance of disease genes will provide insight into the fundamental disease processes and will help in genetic counselling. With the advancement of molecular genetics over the last few years, some of the underlying mechanisms of reduced penetrance have been elucidated. These include, mutation type, allelic variations in gene expression, epigenetic factors, gene-environment interplay, influence of age and sex, allele dosage, oligogenic and digenic inheritance mutations, modifier genes, copy number variations as well as the influence of additional gene variants and the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The aim of this review is to clarify factors affecting gene penetrance as well as some of the underlying molecular mechanisms in some genetic disorders. Previous article Next article Keywords Penetrance Expressivity Copy number variations Modifier genes Epigenetics Environmental factors Oligogenic inheritance Digenic inheritance1. Introduction Penetrance is defined as the percentage of individuals having a particular mutation or genotype who exhibit clinical signs or phenotype of the associated disorder or genotype [1]. Complete penetrance indicates that individuals who have the disease – causing mutation have clinical symptoms of the disease e.g. familial adenomatous polyposis, multiple endocrine neoplasia and retinoblastoma. Incomplete or reduced penetrance indicates that some individuals fail to express the trait, even though they carry the allele e.g. incomplete penetrance of the dominant mutations in the LMNA gene of Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy [2]. Low penetrance allele indicates that this allele will only sometimes produce the symptoms at a detectable level e.g. low penetrance of retinoblastoma for p. V654L mutation of RBI gene [3]. Pseudo-incomplete penetrance indicates that the observation of non penetrance is inaccurate because the clinical examination is incomplete or the symptoms have not yet appeared at the time of the examination. It is also seen in germ line mosaicism that is only seen in the first generation when the parents of several affected children with a dominant disease are healthy [3]. Variable expressivity on the other hand means the extent to which a genotype is phenotypically expressed in individuals."

"text": "Normal Function The FGFR1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called fibroblast growth factor receptor 1. This protein is one of four fibroblast growth factor receptors, which are related proteins that are involved in processes such as cell division, regulation of cell growth and maturation, formation of blood vessels, wound healing, and embryonic development. The FGFR1 protein spans the cell membrane, so that one end of the protein is inside the cell and the other end projects from the outer surface of the cell. This positioning allows the FGFR1 protein to interact with other proteins called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) outside the cell and to receive signals that help the cell respond to its environment. When an FGF attaches to the FGFR1 protein, the receptor triggers a cascade of chemical reactions inside the cell that instruct the cell to undergo certain changes, such as maturing to take on specialized functions. This signaling is thought to play an important role in the development and growth of several parts of the body, including the brain, bones of the head and face (craniofacial bones), bones in the hands and feet, and the long bones in the arms and legs. Signaling through the FGFR1 protein plays a critical role in the formation, survival, and movement (migration) of nerve cells (neurons) in several areas of in the brain. In particular, this signaling appears to be essential for neurons that produce a hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn RH). Gn RH controls the production of several other hormones that direct sexual development before birth and during puberty. These hormones are important for the normal function of the ovaries in women and the testes in men."

However, the mechanisms underlying the metabolic actions of FGF21 remain unknown. Here we show that the insulin-sensitizing adipokine adiponectin is a downstream effector of FGF21. Treatments with FGF21 enhanced both expression and secretion of adiponectin in adipocytes, thereby increasing serum levels of adiponectin in mice. Adiponectin knockout mice were refractory to several therapeutic benefits of FGF21, including alleviation of obesity-associated hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, the effects of FGF21 on attenuation of obesity-induced impairment in insulin signaling in liver and skeletal muscle were abrogated in adiponectin knockout mice, whereas FGF21-mediated activation of ERK1/ERK2 in adipose tissues remained unaffected. Therefore, adiponectin couples FGF21 actions in local adipocytes to liver and skeletal muscle, thereby mediating the systemic effects of FGF21 on energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Nature Education 1 ( 1) :192Most diseases are caused by mutations in more than one gene. So what clues can monogenic, or single-gene disorders provide? Aa Aa Aa Researchers have made dramatic inroads into the study of polygenic and other complex human diseases, due in large part to knowledge of the human genome sequence, the generation of widespread markers of genetic variation, and the development of new technologies that allow investigators to associate disease phenotypes with genetic loci. Although polygenic diseases are more common than single-gene disorders, studies of monogenic diseases provide an invaluable opportunity to learn about underlying molecular mechanisms, thereby contributing a great deal to our understanding of all forms of genetic disease. Mendel Revisited: Monogenic Diseases The human genome contains an estimated total of 20,000-25,000 genes that serve as blueprints for building all of our proteins (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2004). In single-gene diseases, a mutation in just one of these genes is responsible for disease. Single-gene diseases run in families and can be dominant or recessive, and autosomal or sex-linked. Pedigree analyses of large families with many affected members are very useful for determining the inheritance pattern of single-gene diseases."

There are currently nine types of phenotypically diverse non-syndromic syndactyly, an increase since the original classification by Temtamy and Mc Kusick (1978). Non-syndromic syndactyly is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although the more severe presenting types and sub types appear to have autosomal recessive and in some cases X-linked hereditary. Gene research has found that these phenotypes appear to not only be one gene specific, although having individual localised loci, but dependant on a wide range of genes and subsequent signalling pathways involved in limb formation. The principal genes so far defined to be involved in congenital syndactyly concern mainly the Zone of Polarizing Activity and Shh pathway. Research into the individual phenotypes appears to complicate classification as new genes are found both linked, and not linked, to each malformation. Consequently anatomical, phenotypical and genotypical classifications can be used, but are variable in significance, depending on the audience. Currently, management is surgical, with a technique unchanged for several decades, although future development will hopefully bring alternatives in both earlier diagnosis and gene manipulation for therapy. Keywords: Congenital, genetics, human, limb deformity, pathology, syndactyly."

Go to: Abstract Although recent studies have attempted to dispel the confusion that exists in regard to the definition, analysis and interpretation of interaction in genetics, there still remain aspects that are poorly understood by non-statisticians. After a brief discussion of the definition of gene-gene interaction, the main part of this study addresses the fundamental meaning of statistical interaction and its relationship to measurement scale, disproportionate sample sizes in the cells of a two-way table and gametic phase disequilibrium. Key Words: Epistasis, Gametic phase disequilibrium, Interaction, Transformation Go to: Introduction There has been a long-standing interest in the investigation of interactions in genetics, including gene-environment and gene-gene interactions, based on the assumption that they play an important role in the etiology of complex diseases or traits; however, often there is no clear definition of what is being sought. The advent of large-scale human association studies has further stimulated the development of new methods of statistical analysis in the hope of discovering gene-gene interactions or prioritizing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [ 1 ]. Recently, a flurry of work has been devoted to related computational issues surrounding high dimensionality and multiple testing, resulting in the emergence of new methods such as those based on data reduction and data mining techniques [ 2, 3 ]. Yet, the real challenge – also a major reason why many people remain skeptical of the usefulness of statistical findings – remains how to justify and interpret the statistical interaction models and integrate the results with biological mechanisms."

So, cells have evolved mechanisms for controlling gene expression. This lesson describes many types of gene regulation. Definition Gene regulation is the informal term used to describe any mechanism used by a cell to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA). Cells can modify their gene expression patterns to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental stimuli, or adapt to new food sources. All points of gene expression can be regulated."

When a genome is first investigated, this map is nonexistent. The map improves with the scientific progress and is perfect when the genomic DNA sequencing of the species has been completed. During this process, and for the investigation of differences in strain, the fragments are identified by small tags. These may be genetic markers or the unique sequence-dependent pattern of DNA-cutting enzymes. The ordering is derived from genetic observations for these markers or in the second case from a computational integration of the fingerprinting data.

These may include transporting things around, binding to things, holding things together and changing one thing into another. This is different from the biological processes the gene product is involved in, which involve more than one activity. One way to understand this is to consider the analogy of a company or organization. Individuals (gene products) have different abilities or tasks (functions) and they work together to achieve different goals (processes). It is easy to confuse a job title (gene product name) with a function; for example, 'secretarial activity' may seem like a valid function because you have a good conceptual idea of what a secretary does. However, in different companies, secretaries might do different things. One secretary might have the functions 'typing', 'answering phone' and 'making coffee', whilst another might have these functions and additionally 'photocopying'. In the Gene Ontology, a function should be unambiguous and it should mean the same thing no matter what species you are dealing with. If there's any conceptual ambiguity, or you think there could be ambiguity, check to make sure that you're actually talking about a function and not about a gene product."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONNormal reproductive function requires the precise temporal and quantitative regulation of hormone secretion at all levels of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. The hypothalamus contains gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn RH) neurons which secrete pulsatile Gn RH into the hypophyseal portal blood system through which it is transported to the anterior pituitary gland. Gn RH binds to its receptor on gonadotrope cells, stimulating the biosynthesis and secretion of the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FSH travel through the peripheral circulation, acting at the gonads to stimulate gametogenesis ( i.e., the development of mature eggs and sperm) and steroidogenesis ( i.e ., synthesis of the gonadal hormones ‒ estrogen, progesterone, and androgens). In the majority of physiologic conditions, the gonadal steroids feedback at the hypothalamus and pituitary to decrease Gn RH and gonadotropin secretion. An exception is at the time of the periovulatory LH surge in females, believed to be due to positive feedback by rapidly rising estradiol levels. Isolated in the early 1970s, Gn RH was one of the earliest of the hypothalamic-releasing hormones to be sequenced and characterized. 1It was initially believed that separate hypothalamic factors were responsible for LH and FSH secretion and, as a result, Gn RH was originally termed luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (LHRH). This latter term is still occasionally used in the literature."

"text": "Print Monitoring Active Sulfur in EP Gear Oils And Other Options for Monitoring EP Additive Depletion Arnold Shugarman Tags: gear lubrication Extreme pressure (EP) gear oils are used to minimize wear and scuffing in automotive and industrial applications under high load conditions, especially where high peak or shock loads are encountered. Modern EP gear oils are formulated with additives that contain active sulfur, frequently combined with phosphorus, to provide a thermally stable, noncorrosive lubricant with high load-carrying capacity. Proper EP gear oil analysis is important in the formulation of the finished product to be sure the specified amount of additive is present and to monitor the condition of the active agent in use. Similarly, in used oil analysis, it may be necessary to evaluate additive performance under certain circumstances, especially if the ability of the additive to function as expected appears to be compromised. For this reason, it is important to understand EP gear oil chemistry, applications of EP gear oils, and the analytical tools used to measure additive concentrations. What is a Gear Oil? Gear lubricants perform a multitude of functions. Among other things, they are designed to reduce friction and wear, often under boundary lubrication conditions, act as heat transfer agents, and protect against corrosion and rust. In addition, they contain additives to minimize oil oxidation, inhibit foaming and separate water readily. Gear oils for on-road applications may also contain shear stable VI polymers for wide operating temperature ranges."

"text": "Abstract The illicit synthesis of phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) in clandestine drug laboratories from phenylacetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate or pyridine, or from the dry distillation of phenylacetic acid and lead (II)acetate is examined. These two routes are investigated using capillary gas chromatography (GC) combined with vapor-phase Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and electron impact mass spectrometry (EIMS) detection (GC-EMR-EIMS), and using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to identify 21 reaction by-products. The mechanisms of the two reactions producing P2P are presented, along with the mechanisms giving rise to these by-products. This investigation has identified four reaction-specific compounds which can be used to differentiate the two synthetic methods. Fig. 1R 1, R 2 = H - Amphetamine R 1 = H, R 2 = CH 3 - Methamphetamine R 1, R 2 = CH 3 - Dimethylamphetamine Phenyl-2-propanone (Compound 1 ), commonly referred to as P2P, is an intermediate precursor in the manufacture of d,l-amphetamine, d,l-methamphetamine, and other similar phenethylamines (Fig. 1 ). Its prominent use in the illicit manufacture of amphetamine and methamphetamine has resulted in the United States Government controlling the commercial sale of P2P in 1980 ( 21 CFR 1308.12, Schedule II, 8501 ). The scheduling of P2P has not, however, precluded the illicit manufacture of amphetamine or methamphetamine by this route. Indeed, the reductive amination of P2P remains a popular synthetic route for clandestine drug chemists."

"text": "What is FTIR Spectroscopy? FTIR spectroscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) is a technique that uses infrared light to observe properties of a solid, liquid, or gas. It is used in many different applications to measure the absorption, emission, and photo-conductivity of matter by shining a narrow beam of infrared light at the matter in various wavelengths and detecting how the matter responds to each wavelength. Once the data has been obtained, it is converted into digital information using a mathematical algorithm known as the “Fourier transform. ”How FTIR Spectrocopy Works FTIR spectroscopy is closely related to dispersive spectroscopy, but the actual technique used is different. In dispersive spectroscopy, a monochromatic beam of light is shone at a sample in different wavelengths and the absorption of light is measured each time. In FTIR spectroscopy, a beam of light is passed through a series of mirrors that cause the beam’s individual wavelengths to hit each other in a way that allows a sample to absorb some wavelengths, while others are blocked. Light absorption is measured and a computer infers the absorption rate of each wavelength within the beam. Applications FTIR spectroscopy can be used to separate individual molecules in gases in order to detect isomers and other compounds, as well as analyze the properties of the gas. FTIR spectroscopy can also be used to detect emissions from a sample, such as in the case of luminescence, radioactivity, and thermal applications."

Based on your operational environment and equipment type, you should be able to narrow this down to a smaller list of causes. Potential sources of sodium include coolant, salt water, additives, grease thickener, base stocks, dirt and road salt. On the other hand, potassium has only one real major source when found in engine oil — antifreeze. Other key elements that you will want to look for are boron, chromium, phosphorus and silicon. All of these elements are associated with antifreeze and, if found in engine oil, can be an indicator that you have a coolant leak. The causes of this coolant leak will take some investigation."

Everyday materials become physical evidence when crimes such as hit-and-run, burglary, arson, robbery, homicide, sexual assault and criminal damage to property are committed. During the commission of a crime, minute amounts of material may be transferred from one surface to another. By linking the transferred substance back to its source, a link between the suspect and scene can be established. Almost any object, then, may become evidence at some time and thus require laboratory examination. Most examinations performed by the Trace Evidence Unit are comparative in nature: The physical and chemical properties of a sample whose origin is known are compared to the same properties of a sample whose origin is unknown. In our laboratory, we use the terms \"\"known\"\" and \"\"questioned\"\" to refer to these materials. As an example, consider paint transfers in a typical hit-and-run.

Spectrophotometry and colorimetry are techniques, which can be used to identify the molecules depending on their absorption and emission properties. This is an easy technique to determine the concentration of a sample, which has a color. Though the molecule doesn’t have a color, if we can make a colored compound from it by a chemical reaction, that compound can also be used in these techniques. Energy levels are associated with a molecule, and they are discrete. Therefore, discrete transitions between the energy states will only occur at certain discrete energies. In these techniques, the absorption and emission arising from these changes in the energy states are measured and, this is the basis of all spectroscopic techniques. In a basic spectrometer, there is a light source, absorption cell and a detector. The radiation beam of the tunable light source passes through the sample in a cell, and the transmitted intensity is measured by the detector. Variation of the signal intensity as the frequency of the radiation is scanned is called the spectrum."

This assay is also widely used for the characterization of in vitro amyloid fibrils. In order to probe the structural specificity of Congo red binding to amyloid fibrils we have used an induced circular dichroism (CD) assay. Amyloid fibrils from insulin and the variable domain of Ig light chain demonstrate induced CD spectra upon binding to Congo red. Surprisingly, the native conformations of insulin and Ig light chain also induced Congo red circular dichroism, but with different spectral shapes than those from fibrils. In fact, a wide variety of native proteins exhibited induced CR circular dichroism indicating that CR bound to representative proteins from different classes of secondary structure such as α (citrate synthase), α + β (lysozyme), β (concavalin A), and parallel β-helical proteins (pectate lyase). Partially folded intermediates of apomyoglobin induced different Congo red CD bands than the corresponding native conformation, however, no induced CD bands were observed with unfolded protein. Congo red was also found to induce oligomerization of native proteins, as demonstrated by covalent cross-linking and small angle x-ray scattering. Our data suggest that Congo red is sandwiched between two protein molecules causing protein oligomerization."

It can be applied to a variety of types of spectroscopy including optical spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR, FT-NIRS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), [1] mass spectrometry and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. There are several methods for measuring the temporal coherence of the light (see: field-autocorrelation ), including the continuous wave Michelson or Fourier-transform spectrometer and the pulsed Fourier-transform spectrograph (which is more sensitive and has a much shorter sampling time than conventional spectroscopic techniques, but is only applicable in a laboratory environment). The term Fourier-transform spectroscopy reflects the fact that in all these techniques, a Fourier transform is required to turn the raw data into the actual spectrum, and in many of the cases in optics involving interferometers, is based on the Wiener–Khinchin theorem.

The horizontal axis is the wavelength of light, and the vertical axis represents how much light is emitted by the torch at that wavelength. One of the most basic tasks in spectroscopy is to characterize the spectrum of a light source: how much light is emitted at each different wavelength. The most straightforward way to measure a spectrum is to pass the light through a monochromator, an instrument that blocks all of the light except the light at a certain wavelength (the un-blocked wavelength is set by a knob on the monochromator). Then the intensity of this remaining (single-wavelength) light is measured. The measured intensity directly indicates how much light is emitted at that wavelength."

Aqueous Corrosion In order for aqueous corrosion to occur the following have to be present:-Anodic area where components degredation occurs Cathodic area Electrolyte to transport corrosive species and various ions Electron conduction path connecting anode and cathode The corrosion rate is dependent on many factors, some of which are listed below:-Relative areas of the anode and cathode Electrolyte conductivity and whether the metal is immersed in water, underground or just corroding as a result of surface moisture related to the humidity Availability of fresh reactants; corrosive species such as oxygen and chloride ions Removal of corrosion products and the tendency of the oxide to spall away which allows attack to continue virtually unhindered Resistance in the metallic circuit Electrical Resistance and durability of any protective coatings or surface treatments Temperature Mechanisms to minimise the impact of the environmental attack are often in place, but have failed to be effective for a range of possible reasons: Unusual or unexpected exposure conditions (chemical, humidity, p H, turbulence from flowing water etc, differential aeration etc. ) Mistaken use or wrong choice of material or metal alloy for the environment Galvanic cell set up with another nearby metal component electrically in contact with the corroding part, with the circuit completed by an electrolyte, which can be as little as surface adsorbed water Failed protection system Ineffective or insufficient biocides or inhibitors in a closed system like a heating system as microbiological attack can be very aggressive The protection system designed to slow down or prevent corrosion can be Passivation having or deliberately growing a protective oxide. Stainless steel has a protective surface oxide and aluminium and titanium are often anodised to grow thicker oxides Choice of material / alloy to insure the material is passive or immune in the environmental conditions the component is likely to see over life Avoid two phase alloys which can provide the anode and cathode locally close together and give phenomena such as dezincification of brasses where one phase can be preferentially eaten away Cathodic protection by use of a sacrificial anode or impressed current to make a key component cathodic and so not corrode Anodic protection using impressed current to make a material passive Painting, spraying or dip coating to provide a diffusion barrier to slow down or stop the ingress of corrosive species such as oxygen or chloride ions Use of conversion coatings Avoid rough surfaces as points protruding into the electrolyte will preferentially corrode Cracks or small pits should be avoided as, from the catchment area principle, the anode at the crack tip (because of a lower availability of oxygen) is small with respect to the cathode and attack can be relatively fast giving pits. Aluminium and stainless steels are susceptible to pitting corrosion for example. Depending on the materials involved SEM/EDX and optical microscopy together with a combination of various surface analysis techniques, Anion Chromatography and FTIR generally are used to analyse and identify the failure mechanism and then the source of the aqueous corrosion. This can lead to the laboratory making recommendations on how to best avoid or solve the problem in the future."

"text": "FTIR Analysis, Spectral Interpretation, and Methods Development Infrared Interpretations FTIR laboratory includes techniques to identify or characterize materials. FTIR is capable of determining the chemical composition of a bulk material (i.e. polyvinyl chloride, PVC) or the components in a material (i.e. phthalates in PVC). The information provided by the FTIR analysis of materials, allows our spectroscopist to solve complex customer problems. These problems include identification of unknowns, reverse engineering (deformulation), quantiation of additives, additive identification and chemical structure determination. One example case study is shown in the above spectral overlay of turbine oil with decreasing concentrations of phenolic and aminic antioxidants. The antioxidants in turbine oil extend the oils usefulness by delaying the onset of oxidation. The spectra also indicate the precision of FTIR analysis for quantitative measurement of such additives in oils or polymers. The applications for FTIR analysis extend to nearly all states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) and applications extend beyond this planet. FTIR analysis (mid-infrared) and NIR (near infrared) techniques are used in NASA probes for detecting water on the moon, Mars, and various other experiments. Samples can be sent in for analysis by the most appropriate spectroscopic techniques."

The cellulase enzyme was bound via physical adsorption (ionic bound). FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the successful binding of cellulase (endoglucanase) onto the particle, and binding efficiency was determined at 95% using the Bradford method. The maximal enzyme activity was assessed using CMC as the substrate and was 0.1 unit (μmol/min ml). The adsorption capacity of cellulase onto nanoparticles reached 31 mg/g. The stability of the immobilized enzyme increased in comparison with the free enzyme. Overall, this study showed that that the stability and activity of the cellulase were enhanced via physical adsorption to the magnetic nanoparticles. This suggested that immobilized enzyme on magnetic beads could be used in an interesting range of application allowing both using in broader temperature and p H ranges, facilitating long-term storage, while permitting magnetic recovery of the enzyme for reuse or purification of the product. Highlights► The stability and activity of cellulase enzyme onto superparamagnetic nanoparticles were enhanced via ionic bound overall. ► The adsorption capacity of cellulase onto MNPs reached 31 mg/g ► Binding efficiency was determined at 95% using the Bradford method."

Film matrix was composed of supramolecular poly (lactic acid)–cellulose nanocrystals (PLA–CNC) nanocomposite. Bioactive PLA–CNC–oregano films were prepared by incorporating oregano EO as an antimicrobial agent. Resulting films were then converted into packaging applied on mixed vegetables as a food model and stored for 14 days at 4 °C to determine their antimicrobial capacity against Listeria monocytogenes, their physico-chemical/structural properties and their total phenols (TP) release during storage, in order to evaluate the effect of oregano EO. It was observed the addition of oregano EO did not affect the water vapor permeability (WVP) of films, but increased their elongation at break (Eb) and reduced their tensile strength (TS) and tensile modulus (TM) at day 0. However, TS, TM, Eb and WVP values of control and bioactive films were increased slightly after 14 days of storage. FTIR analysis allowed characterizing the molecular interactions of oregano EO with PLA–CNC matrix via the identification and interpretation of their respective vibration bands."

Identification and isolation of the organic residues are achieved by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). FTIR and GC–MS provide important information about the residues and the two main components obtained by column chromatography are further analyzed by NMR. The main organic residues are found to be thiodiglycol and 2,2′-dithiodiethanol which have potential applications in petroleum drilling because of their S–S and/or C–S functional groups. The lubricity of the organic residues is subsequently studied and the influence of different adsorbents on the lubricity is investigated and discussed. This homemade lubricant is observed to have good lubricity and by increasing the concentration of the commercial solid lubricant M, the lubricity diminishes. The process is expected to not only have commercial impact but also help to reduce environmental pollution.

"text": "Napped Fabrics – What Type Of Fabrics Are They? What do we mean by napped fabrics? The term napped fabrics can be used in two ways. One way is to say that a fabric is with nap and the other is to say that a fabric is napped during cutting of the fabric from a pattern for garment construction. Fabrics With Nap Actual napping is a finishing process applied to one or both sides of a woven or knitted fabric. Napping raises the fiber ends to the surface of the fabric, so that they can be clipped, brushed flat or left erect. This then creates a surface texture that creates a softer, heavier and usually a warmer fabric. These raised fibers all lie in one direction. Some fabrics that are napped, those created through a finishing process are ones such as: melton, wood broadcloth, flannel, serge, sweatshirt fleece, mohair, camel’s hair, suede cloth, brushed denim, lamb’s wool, and synthetic suedes, to name a few. Pile Fabrics Pile fabrics are often loosely referred to as fabrics that are napped."

Both Khakis and Chinos are synonyms for comfortable pants or trousers that men wear in summers. In fact, both Khakis and chino are being worn by men all-round the year because of their comfortable fabric and fitting. There are many who remain confused between khaki and chino because of their similarities. However, despite similarities, there are enough differences between the two that will be enumerated in this article. Khaki Khaki is the name of a light color that lies in between light yellow and brown making it close to beige in appearance. Khaki happens to be the color of the uniform worn by Indian Police. In fact, the word has been borrowed by English from the same Hindustani word that reflects something that is soiled. ( Khak means soil or dust in Hindi and Urdu). Though English people use the word for a color, it is also used to refer to a kind of trouser that is casual in nature and made from cotton fabric."

Most people, even those familiar with rayon, don’t realize that all three of these fibers are called “cellulosic fibers” since the natural material that makes up the fiber is cellulose, a component of all plants. The cellulose is often derived from wood which has an average cellulose content of 40%. Before answering the question in the title of this article, I’ll provide an understanding of these fibers and their properties. I don’t want to play favorites, however one company stands out above all the rest in regard to these three fibers."

Fabrics can be classified based on the origin of fibers and its processes or its end usage. Natural fabrics are those which are created from the fibers of animals coats, the cocoons of silkworms, and plants seeds, leaves and stems. It is breathable and never cause rashes apart from being soft and durable. Natural fabric is the best choice for everyone. It does not change color from UV light and there is no warming until the material looses its tensile strength. Synthetic or man-made fabrics are made from fibers which are either completely made from inorganic materials or organic materials combined with chemicals. Synthetic fabrics have numerous properties with the purpose for which it is produced and finished. Some are lightweight with ultra sheer while others are moisture wicking and fast drying."

Tencel fabric is an amazing eco friendly fabric that represents a milestone in the development of environmentally sustainable textiles. Tencel is a natural, man made fibre which is also referred to as Lyocell. Made with wood pulp from sustainable tree farms, tencel textiles are created though the use of nanotechnology in an award-winning closed-loop process that recovers or decomposes all solvents and emissions. Though it’s certified by the international Forest Stewardship Council and 100% biodegradable, perhaps the greatest benefits are the variety and exceptional comfort you can experience with tencel clothing. Advantages of Tencel Fabric Eco Print Made from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. The fiber is economical in its use of energy and natural resources, and is fully biodegradable. Colour Rich Tencel was created with color in mind, because of the fibers’ high absorbency. The fabrics can be dyed to high quality standards."

Black Fleece Fall Collection, 2013. Black Fleece is a brand under the Brooks Brothers name. In 2007, Brooks Brothers launched the Black Fleece collection to explore a fashion forward perspective on classic American style. So, they enlisted the 2006 CFDA winning designer Thom Browne who, over the past five years and ten collections, has developed Black Fleece into its own unique voice: innovative and modern, yet rooted in the two hundred year history of Brooks Brothers. The great thing about Black Fleece is Three-fold: 1) It is made in the USA; 2) they are made by one of the world’s hottest designer’s Thom Browne; and 3) if you buy one of the suits or shirts, you are getting the Thom Browne style (for the suits, which are deliberately designed to be a bit short), but at 1/3 off the price. Black Fleece Suit Black Fleece came in second in my contest of the best American made dress shirt (first was Thom Browne), see my blog entry: Best Dress Shirts Made in the USA vs the World. The biggest problem with Black Fleece is trying to find them. You can not just go to any Brooks Brothers store or outlet and expect to find Black Fleece, no – they are only in the special flagship stores like Fillmore Street in San Francisco and Bleeker Street in New York City, see locations (there are only 24 locations in the United States).

FALSEOrigins: The realm of popular wisdom is replete with well-traveled factoids that found their way into our culture via a deliberate hoax or playful leg-pull. Such is the case with the notion that the brassiere was invented by the so appropriately named Otto Titzling. According to an inventive history of the undergarment that is now widely believed, Titzling came to invent the item while living in a New York boardinghouse in 1912. One of his neighbors was a buxom opera singer named Swanhilda Olafson, and the structural engineering problems she presented inspired Titzlingto create a contraption to uphold this lady’s ample bosom. In the early 1930s, a French fellow named Phillip de Brassiere began producing a similar undergarment. Titzling sued, but Brassiere won in court, and that is why today we call a lady’s frontal uplifter a brassiere instead of a titzling. It’s a great story, but there’s no truth to it. The madness began with a 1971 book by Wallace Reyburn titled Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra. Like his 1972 send-up, The Inferior Sex: A Treatise on the Inferiority of Women, Bust-Up was a work of satire. ("

"text": "Working with Double Knit Learn what makes these fabrics such a joy to sew with and wear. By Alyson Clair. If you are new to sewing with knits, double knit is a great starting point. Double knit fabrics are more stable and don’t roll as much as their lighter weight friends, making them easy to sew with. They are also a great choice when you want a crisp, structured look while still maintaining the stretch and comfort of a knit fabric. You can make a variety of beautiful garments to wear year around using double knits. The Manila leggings from this month’s issue made in Ponte di Roma Double knit gives The Manila leggings added structure and body. If you lived through the 1970s (or are a fan of that era of fashions), you may think of double knits as the low-quality, stiff, 100% polyester of yesterday; but the double knits then and now are quite different. Today, double knit textiles in that sort of low quality are mainly reserved for things like cheer apparel, or heavy duty uniform pants like a police officer might wear. Most fabric stores cater instead to sewists making jackets, dresses, trousers, and tops out of finer quality knits than those of the past, which means you’ll find wonderful choices made from a variety of fibers.01 Section What is double knit?"

A Fabric Guide It seems that the knit fabric ponte di roma (also known as punto-di-roma, but I’m going to call it ponte roma for short) is all the rage at the moment and much credit must lie with Tilly Walnes and her wonderful Coco Pattern. And what’s not to love? It’s an easy knit to sew, it doesn’t crease, it doesn’t cling to your lumps and bumps like some knit fabrics, it’s an all round good egg. The fabric was developed in Italy (the clue is in the name) and I’m very glad they did (to think they gave us this AND pizza – praise be for Italy! ) We’ve just had a lovely delivery of this scrummy knit so I thought I’d get tapping in case you were wondering what it was. I love these houndstooth prints… I’m reliably informed that houndstooth is the new chevron, don’t you know. Construction of Ponte Roma The fabric is a double knit , which means it’s a double layer of fabric knitted with a 2 sets of needles on 2 needle beds most probably on a machine that looks like this which I think it looks like the Tardis controls… I’m glad we just sell fabric and don’t have to operate scary looking machinery like this. The fabric can be knitted from all sorts of different types and weights of yarns and elastane is often included to increase the stretch. It’s a firm, stable knit which holds it’s shape well in a garment, great news for the longevity of your lovingly made creations helping them to look great for longer."

For example, it is possible that variations in six observed variables mainly reflect the variations in two unobserved (underlying) variables. Factor analysis searches for such joint variations in response to unobserved latent variables. The observed variables are modelled as linear combinations of the potential factors, plus \"\" error \"\" terms. Factor analysis aims to find independent latent variables. The theory behind factor analytic methods is that the information gained about the interdependencies between observed variables can be used later to reduce the set of variables in a dataset. Factor analysis is commonly used in biology, psychometricspersonality theories, marketing, product management, operations research, and finance. Proponents of factor analysis believe that it helps to deal with data sets where there are large numbers of observed variables that are thought to reflect a smaller number of underlying/latent variables."

Fisher, (born February 17, 1890, London, England—died July 29, 1962, Adelaide, Australia), British statistician and geneticist who pioneered the application of statistical procedures to the design of scientific experiments. In 1909 Fisher was awarded a scholarship to study mathematics at the University of Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1912 with a B. A. in astronomy. He remained at Cambridge for another year to continue course work in astronomy and physics and to study the theory of errors. ( The connection between astronomy and statistics dates back to Carl Friedrich Gauss, who formulated the law of observational error and the normal distribution based on his analysis of astronomical observations. ) Fisher taught high school mathematics and physics from 1914 until 1919 while continuing his research in statistics and genetics. Fisher had evidenced a keen interest in evolutionary theory during his student days—he was a founder of the Cambridge University Eugenics Society—and he combined his training in statistics with his avocation for genetics. In particular, he published an important paper in 1918 in which he used powerful statistical tools to reconcile what had been apparent inconsistencies between Charles Darwin ’s ideas of natural selection and the recently rediscovered experiments of the Austrian botanist Gregor Mendel. In 1919 Fisher became the statistician for the Rothamsted Experimental Station near Harpenden, Hertfordshire, and did statistical work associated with the plant-breeding experiments conducted there. His Statistical Methods for Research Workers (1925) remained in print for more than 50 years. His breeding experiments led to theories about gene dominance and fitness, published in The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection (1930)."

This shows that P (A|B) P (B) = P (B|A) P (A) i.e. P (A|B) = P (B|A) P (A)P (B) . Similar reasoning can be used to show that P (Ā|B) = P (B|Ā) P (Ā)P (B) etc."

"text": "\"Intervention Studies Clinical Trials Introduction The primary goal of observational studies, e.g., case-control studies and cohort studies, is to test hypotheses about the determinants of disease. In contrast, the goal of intervention studies is to test the efficacy of specific treatments or preventive measures by assigning individual subjects to one of two or more treatment or prevention options. Intervention studies often test the efficacy of drugs, but one might also use this design to test the efficacy of differing management strategies or regimens. There are two major types of intervention studies: Controlled clinical trials in which individual subjects are assigned to one or another of the competing interventions, or Community interventions, in which an intervention is assigned to an entire group. In many respects the design of a clinical trial is analogous to a prospective cohort study, except that the investigators assign or allocate the exposure (treatment) under study. This provides clinical trials with a powerful advantage over observational studies, provided the assignment to a treatment group is done randomly with a sufficiently large sample size. Under these circumstances randomized clinical trials (RCTs) provide the best opportunity to control for confounding and avoid certain biases. Consequently, they provide the most effective way to detect small to moderate benefits of one treatment over another. However, in order to provide definitive answers, clinical trials must enroll a sufficient number of appropriate subjects and follow them for an adequate period of time. Consequently, clinical trials can be long and expensive."

"text": "\"Log-Linear Analysis of Frequency Tables General Purpose Two-way Frequency Tables Multi-Way Frequency Tables The Log-Linear Model Goodness-of-fit Automatic Model Fitting General Purpose One basic and straightforward method for analyzing data is via crosstabulation. For example, a medical researcher may tabulate the frequency of different symptoms by patients' age and gender; an educational researcher may tabulate the number of high school drop-outs by age, gender, and ethnic background; an economist may tabulate the number of business failures by industry, region, and initial capitalization; a market researcher may tabulate consumer preferences by product, age, and gender; etc. In all of these cases, the major results of interest can be summarized in a multi-way frequency table, that is, in a crosstabulation table with two or more factors. Log-Linear provides a more \"\"sophisticated\"\" way of looking at crosstabulation tables. Specifically, you can test the different factors that are used in the crosstabulation (e.g., gender, region, etc.) and their interactions for statistical significance (see Elementary Concepts for a discussion of statistical significance testing). The following text will present a brief introduction to these methods, their logic, and interpretation. Correspondence analysis is a descriptive/exploratory technique designed to analyze two-way and multi-way tables containing some measure of correspondence between the rows and columns. The results provide information which is similar in nature to those produced by Factor Analysis techniques, and they allow one to explore the structure of the categorical variables included in the table. To index Two-way Frequency Tables Let us begin with the simplest possible crosstabulation, the 2 by 2 table."

"text": "Study Design Terminology Bias - Any deviation of results or inferences from the truth, or processes leading to such deviation. Bias can result from several sources: one-sided or systematic variations in measurement from the true value (systematic error); flaws in study design; deviation of inferences, interpretations, or analyses based on flawed data or data collection; etc. There is no sense of prejudice or subjectivity implied in the assessment of bias under these conditions. Case Control Studies - Studies which start with the identification of persons with a disease of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease. The relationship of an attribute to the disease is examined by comparing diseased and non-diseased persons with regard to the frequency or levels of the attribute in each group. Causality - The relating of causes to the effects they produce. Causes are termed necessary when they must always precede an effect and sufficient when they initiate or produce an effect. Any of several factors may be associated with the potential disease causation or outcome, including predisposing factors, enabling factors, precipitating factors, reinforcing factors, and risk factors. Control Groups - Groups that serve as a standard for comparison in experimental studies. They are similar in relevant characteristics to the experimental group but do not receive the experimental intervention."

For the computer science notion of a \"\"critical section\"\", sometimes called a \"\"critical region\"\", see critical section. A statistical hypothesis, sometimes called confirmatory data analysis, is a hypothesis that is testable on the basis of observing a process that is modeled via a set of random variables. [ 1] A statistical hypothesis test is a method of statistical inference. Commonly, two statistical data sets are compared, or a data set obtained by sampling is compared against a synthetic data set from an idealized model. A hypothesis is proposed for the statistical relationship between the two data sets, and this is compared as an alternative to an idealized null hypothesis that proposes no relationship between two data sets. The comparison is deemed statistically significant if the relationship between the data sets would be an unlikely realization of the null hypothesis according to a threshold probability—the significance level. Hypothesis tests are used in determining what outcomes of a study would lead to a rejection of the null hypothesis for a pre-specified level of significance. The process of distinguishing between the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis is aided by identifying two conceptual types of errors (type 1 & type 2), and by specifying parametric limits on e.g. how much type 1 error will be permitted. An alternative framework for statistical hypothesis testing is to specify a set of statistical models, one for each candidate hypothesis, and then use model selection techniques to choose the most appropriate model.

Data analysis is an ongoing activity, which not only answers your question but also gives you the directions for future data collection. Data analysis procedures (DAP) help you to arrive at the data analysis. The uses of such procedures put your research project in perspective and assist you in testing the hypotheses with which you have started your research. Hence with the use of DAP, you canconvert data into information and knowledge, andexplore the relationship between variables. Understanding of the data analysis procedures will help you toappreciate the meaning of the scientific method, hypotheses testing and statistical significance in relation to research questionsrealise the importance of good research design when investigating research questionshave knowledge of a range of inferential statistics and their applicability and limitations in the context of your researchbe able to devise, implement and report accurately a small quantitative research projectbe capable of identifying the data analysis procedures relevant to your research projectshow an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the selected quantitative and/or qualitative research projectdemonstrate the ability to use word processing, project planning and statistical computer packages in the context of a quantitative research project and reportbe adept of working effectively alone or with others to solve a research question/ problem quantitatively.

They want to know what the programs accomplish, what they cost, and how they should be operated to achieve maximum cost-effectiveness. They want to know which programs work for which groups, and they want conclusions based on evidence, rather than testimonials and impassioned pleas. This paper lays out, for the nontechnician, the basic principles of program evaluation design. It signals common pitfalls, identifies constraints that need to be considered, and presents ideas for solving potential problems. These principles are general and can be applied to a wide range of human service programs. We illustrate these principles here with examples from programs for vulnerable children and youth. Evaluation of these programs is particularly challenging because they address a wide diversity of problems and possible solutions, often include multiple agencies and clients, and change over time to meet shifting service needs.

Simple random and cluster sampling strategies in jury selection Hiroshi Fukurai Edgar W. Butler Richard Krooth Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0047-2352 (91)90081-6 Get rights and content Abstract This article presents a technical comparison of two methods of selecting juries. The research site was the Long Beach Superior Court in California. LISREL and computer-generated graphics were the analytic methods used. The analysis demonstrates that, if a representative list of prospective jurors is to be obtained, court officials must recognize the effects of racial and socioeconomic factors on residential segregation, and the selection procedure must take these factors into account. Minority and ethnic groups are unequally distributed within the jurisdiction studied. Traditional methods of jury selection, which are based on simple random sampling, are inadequate because they generate unrepresentative juror pools. In contrast, a cluster sampling method with the probability proportionate to size (PPS) incorporates residential segregation and generates a pool of jurors that reflects the cross-section of the community. Two test statistics, chi-square and Z, substantiated that cluster sampling is clearly superior to the currently employed simple random-selection method. Assurance of a cross-sectional representation of potential jurors is congruent with the requirement established by the Federal Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968."

Biases can be classified by the research stage in which they occur or by the direction of change in a estimate.

There is not external validity without internal validity, but the presence of the second does not guarantee the first. Bias should be distinguished from random error or lack of precision. Sometimes, the term bias is also used to refer to the mechanism that produces lack of internal validity. 1Biases can be classified by the direction of the change they produce in a parameter (for example, the odds ratio (OR))."

This technique can be used only for numerical response data, the \"\"Y\"\", usually one variable, and numerical or (usually) categorical input data, the \"\"X\"\", always one variable, hence \"\"one-way\"\". [ 1]The ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that samples in all groups are drawn from populations with the same mean values. To do this, two estimates are made of the population variance. These estimates rely on various assumptions ( see below ). The ANOVA produces an F-statistic, the ratio of the variance calculated among the means to the variance within the samples. If the group means are drawn from populations with the same mean values, the variance between the group means should be lower than the variance of the samples, following the central limit theorem. A higher ratio therefore implies that the samples were drawn from populations with different mean values. [ 1]Typically, however, the one-way ANOVA is used to test for differences among at least three groups, since the two-group case can be covered by a t-test (Gosset, 1908). When there are only two means to compare, the t-test and the F-test are equivalent; the relation between ANOVA and t is given by F = t 2."

"text": "content Calculating Arc Flash Energy Levels A choice of methods leads to multiple conclusions. Benjamin O. Medich, P. E., Ballinger | Sep 01, 2007While not a major topic of consideration when designing and maintaining facilities in past years, code-enforcement bodies have become increasingly aware of the danger of arc flash incidents associated with working on live electrical gear. As a result, facility managers and their consulting engineers are paying more attention to arc flash analysis. While the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires only a generic label to warn of the possibility of arc flash danger on all equipment that is subject to arc flash hazards, NFPA's “Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace” (NFPA 70E-2004) goes a step further, requiring that, “A flash hazard analysis be done in order to protect personnel from the possibility of being injured by an arc flash.” This standard also requires that the analysis include a calculation of the flash protection boundary of each piece of equipment and determination of the required personal protective equipment (PPE) at the appropriate working distance for each piece of equipment. Both NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584, “Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations,” prescribe their own methods of calculation for determining the available arc flash energy at a particular piece of equipment. However, for both methods, typical working distances are given in Table 3 of IEEE 1584-2002. Calculating arc flash energy There are two distinct mathematical methods of calculating the available arc flash energy present at a specific piece of equipment — both of which are detailed in Annex D of NFPA 70E. The first method, commonly referred to as the NFPA 70E equation for an arc flash in a cubic box, is: E MB = 1038.7 D B-1.4738 × t A [0.0093 F 2 0.3453 F + 5.9673]Where E MB is the arc flash energy, D B is the working distance (from Table 3 of IEEE 1584), t A is the duration of the arc, and F is the short-circuit (or fault) current. This equation uses inches for distance measurements, and gives results directly in calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm 2 ). The cubic box is the commonly used equation (as opposed to the open air equation) because this equation most accurately approximates the behavior of an arc flash event within a standard piece of electrical equipment (switchgear, fused switch, etc.)."

Jordan THE BALCONES ESCARPMENTIntroduction Driving on Interstate Highway 35 between Austin and San Antonio, one observes that the land to the east is for the most part relatively flat, whereas the land to the west is more rugged and higher, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio and other towns along this part of the Interstate Highway 35 are all located at or near this obvious change in topography, which commonly is called an escarpment. Generally speaking, an escarpment is the relatively steep face that separates two regions of markedly different elevation. Along most of the Balcones Escarpment, the land to the west averages about 300 feet higher than the land to the east. FORMATION OF ESCARPMENTSMost escarpments, including the Balcones, are the result of differential erosion, which occurs when there are variations in the ability of exposed rock to resist erosion. The old saying \"\"the rain falls alike on the just and the unjust\"\" can be applied to resistant and non-resistant rocks. Erosional agents, such as rain, attack with essentially equal vigor all over the land along the Balcones Escarpment. But the rocks on the west side are more resistant to erosion, and have been worn down less than the rocks on the east side, with the passage of time and countless rainstorms. So, \"\"differential erosion\"\" describes the result of erosional processes acting on rocks with different properties -- properties which influence the rocks' susceptibility to erosion. Figure 36 is a profile of a hypothetical escarpment, showing locations of resistant and non-resistant rocks. ( BIGGER) Figure 36The face of the escarpment usually looks more scarred by erosion than any other part of the area, because erosive power of water is greater on the steep slope of the face."

"text": "\"Rule-Based Approaches and Implementation Diagnosis Subtopics: This page examines rule-based approaches and implementation of diagnostic systems, as part of the white paper A Guide to Fault Detection and Diagnosis. Rule-based systems in most cases implement other approaches discussed earlier, more as a program control mechanism than a separate diagnostic technique. The term “expert system” has often been used as a synonym for “rule based system”, also called a “production rule system”. This isn’t really true -- practical expert systems have almost always included other tools and paradigms in addition to rule processing. But there is a long historical linkage between rule-based expert systems and diagnosis, so rule based approaches are reviewed here. Rules are written in an if/then format. For example“if A and B, then C”“if C or D, then E”The “IF” portion is also called the antecedent, and the “THEN” portion is also called the consequent. Rules are entered in any order during application development. Then, at run time, a “rule engine” (“inference engine”) schedules the running of the rules to draw conclusions, seek data or respond to data input, or ask questions. The rules are processed at run time using one of two techniques: forward chaining or backward chaining."

D., Chu & Gassman Consulting Engineers | Oct 01, 2004All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution equipment. Therefore, it's important to protect personnel and equipment by calculating short-circuit currents during system upgrade and design. Because these calculations are life-safety related, they're mandated by 110.9 of the NEC, which states:“Equipment intended to interrupt current at fault levels shall have an interrupting rating sufficient for the nominal circuit voltage and the current that is available at the line terminals of the equipment. Equipment intended to interrupt current at other than fault levels shall have an interrupting rating at nominal circuit voltage sufficient for the current that must be interrupted. ”When you apply these requirements to a circuit breaker, you must calculate the maximum 3-phase fault current the breaker will be required to interrupt. This current can be defined as the short-circuit current available at the terminals of the protective device. You can assume that 3-phase short circuits are “bolted,” or have no impedance. In addition, a 3-phase short circuit can be considered a balanced load, which means you can use a single-phase circuit to analyze one of the phases and the neutral."

They occur singly as isolated folds and in extensive fold trains of different sizes, on a variety of scales. Folds form under varied conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks. A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogenic zones. Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault ( fault bend fold ), at the tip of a propagating fault ( fault propagation fold ), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. above a laccolith."

Data Reconciliation in steady state systems The technical paper by Mah, Stanley, and Downing: Reconciliation and Rectification of Process Flow and Inventory Data , formalized and popularized data reconciliation in flow networks. It also introduced tests and an algorithm for detecting gross errors in flow networks (measurement errors and leaks) by analyzing nodal imbalances. It applied graph theory, significantly simplified the analysis and decomposition of problems, showed a practical application, and introduced a variety of concepts such as the “environment node” in the process graph to eliminate the distinction between “internal” and “external” flows. This paper provided the first formal use of graph theory both for analyzing flow reconciliation, and for diagnosing gross errors. Although the formal solution is for steady state systems, the paper points out that inventory changes as measured by tank level changes can be easily accounted for by treating the inventory changes as equivalent to an additional flow. The abstract for the paper is: This paper shows how information inherent in the process constraints and measurement statistics can be used to enhance flow and inventory data. Two important graph-theoretic results are derived and used to simplify the reconciliation of conflicting data and the estimation of unmeasured process streams.

"text": "\"San Andreas Fault Zone General Statement The main strand of the San Andreas fault in southern California consists of two segments (fig. 1): (1) the Mojave Desert segment that mainly separates rocks of San Gabriel Mountains-type from rocks of San Bernardino Mountains-type, and (2) the Coachella Valley segment that separates rocks of Peninsular Ranges-type from rocks of San Bernardino Mountains- and San Gabriel Mountains-type. In plan view the main strand has a left-stepping geometry: the Mojave Desert segment has been stepped left (west) about 15 km from the Coachella Valley segment, with the step occurring in the San Gorgonio Pass region of the southeastern San Bernardino Mountains (Matti and others, 1985). This left step forms a structural knot in the San Andreas that has influenced the evolution of the entire transform-fault system and has led to multiple fault strands that evolved sequentially. Multiple strands also have developed along the Mojave Desert segment of the San Andreas (Barrows and others, 1985, 1987). This strand complexity has made it difficult to identify the distribution and displacement history of faults in the San Andreas family, and has led to variable fault nomenclature and to conflicting fault-movement scenarios. Fault Nomenclature The complex pattern of late Cenozoic right-lateral faults in southern California has led to nomenclature for the San Andreas fault that is more complex than for central California. There, most if not all Miocene and younger displacement on the San Andreas has occurred within a narrow, singular (although complex) zone that extends the length of central California to Hill and Dibblee's (1953) \"\"Big Bend\"\" at the latitude of the Garlock fault. The name \"\"San Andreas fault\"\" has been used by most workers in central California (Hill, 1981), and little confusion has arisen with regard to which geologic structure bears the name \"\"San Andreas fault\"\" or whether multiple fault strands have generated sequential displacements. By contrast, the San Andreas fault in southern California consists of multiple strands, each representing some portion of the geologic history allocated to the more singular zone in central California (Noble, 1932; Dibblee, 1954, 1968a; Allen, 1957; Crowell, 1962; Woodburne, 1975; Matti and others, 1985)."

Plate Movement, Maps Plate tectonics is the theory proposing that Earth's outer rocky shell is divided into seven major and several smaller rigid plates, and that forces generated by heat losses from the planet's interior constantly move the plates about. Plate movements, ongoing over millions of years ( see Geological History ), open and close ocean basins, generate volcanoes, raise mountains, facilitate accumulation of mineral and petroleum deposits, and influence evolution and climate change. Friction between plates prevents steady motion and stores energy that is released in sudden movements, causing earthquakes . History Early Discoveries and Theories The discovery of the Americas by early European explorers some 500 years ago led to observations that the coasts of South America and Africa would fit together closely if they were not separated by the Atlantic Ocean. At the time, it was believed that Earth was about 6,000 years old; therefore, it was thought that any separation must have occurred as the result of cataclysmic events at the time of creation. During the 19th century, geologists suggested that to provide enough time for the great thicknesses of sedimentary rock to have accumulated, Earth must be older than 6,000 years, perhaps hundreds of millions of years old. Conversely, physicists argued that Earth was losing heat to space and that, since no adequate sources of internal energy were known, it must be cooling. They pointed out that, even if Earth had been red-hot when formed, it would have cooled to its present temperature in a few tens of millions of years. They also held that as Earth cooled, contraction wrinkled its surface like the skin of a drying apple, the wrinkles being the mountain belts."

"text": "\"Description FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates to automotive diagnostics and, more particularly, to a diagnostic for an automotive active brake control system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONActive brake control has been proposed for automotive vehicle stability control in which individual wheel brake inputs are provided to enhance vehicle stability through certain vehicle maneuvers. Fault conditions in the active brake control systems, such as in the various sensors, actuators, and circuits thereof, may result in unintended braking and reduced performance. Such fault conditions must therefore be rapidly diagnosed and indicated so they may be corrected. Further, until correction is made, vehicle performance should be substantially insensitive to the fault conditions. To facilitate rapid treatment of any diagnosed fault condition, the type of fault should be identified. To avoid the inconvenience of a disabled active brake control system and the cost associated with unnecessary repair of the active brake control system, a high degree of confidence should be established that a fault condition is actually present before any fault condition is indicated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is directed to a comprehensive active brake control system diagnostic that rapidly diagnoses fault conditions in an active braking control system to minimize loss of vehicle performance and that requires substantial corroboration that the diagnosed condition is a fault condition of a particular type prior to indicating the condition for treatment thereof. More specifically, a hierarchy of diagnostic tests are integrated to form a comprehensive system diagnostic. At a first level, individual components of the active braking system are analyzed locally to establish whether they are contributing reliable information to the system."

Its distinctive feature, exemplified in the founding example of modern federalism by the United States of America under the Constitution of 1787, is a relationship of parity between the two levels of government established. [ 1] It can thus be defined as a form of government in which there is a division of powers between two levels of government of equal status. [ 2]Federalism differs from confederalism, in which the general level of government is subordinate to the regional level, and from devolution within a unitary state, in which the regional level of government is subordinate to the general level. [ 3] It represents the central form in the pathway of regional integration or separation, [4] bounded on the less integrated side by confederalism and on the more integrated side by devolution within a unitary state. [ 5]Leading examples of the federation or federal state include the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia and India. Some also today characterize the European Union as the pioneering example of federalism in a multi-state setting, in a concept termed the federal union of states.

These various levels of government differ not only in their geographical scope (local, regional and national), but also in their powers and responsibilities. There are thousands of local governments in Canada, including municipalities, local boards and agencies (for example, school boards, police commissions, transit agencies), and semi-regional governments (for example, counties). While the precise powers of these local forms of government range from province to province, they tend to be responsible for such things as local planning and development, protection of persons and property, transportation, utilities, and local parks and recreation. Canada has 13 regional governments, which are divided into provinces and territories. Currently, there are 10 provincial governments: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. In addition, there are three territorial governments: the Northwest Territories, the Yukon and Nunavut."

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. S. encountered many problems such as there was no chief executive, the Congress had no power to tax which resulted with states coining their own money and Congress did not have the power to regulate commerce."

[ 1] [2] [3] Fueled by Shays' Rebellion and an economy faltering under the inability of the federal government to pay the debt from the American Revolution, a group later known as the Federalists generated support for a strong central government and called for a Constitutional Convention in 1787 to reconsider the Articles. In 1787, the Convention almost immediately dropped its original purpose of editing the Articles and instead drafted a new Constitution of the United States. Rejecting both confederal and unitary systems, they based the new American government on a new theory of federalism, a system of shared sovereignty that delegates some powers to the federal government and reserves other powers for the states. [ 4] [5] Among other powers, the federal legislature could now tax citizens and maintain a standing military, and had exclusive power over regulating interstate commerce and coining currency. [ 3] [6] In addition, while Article Six of the Constitution stipulated that federal law in pursuit of constitutionally assigned ends overrode any contradictory state law, the power of the national government was held in check by the Bill of Rights – particularly the Tenth Amendment, which limited federal governmental powers to only those specified in the Constitution. [ 7]Importantly, at the Convention, there was large debate over the structure of the legislative branch, eventually solved by the Connecticut Compromise. In the traditional understanding of the discussion, the larger states proposed the Virginia Plan, which allocated representation to each state proportional to its population."

Indeed, the very features which made it unique have also contributed to its longevity. These features also define the framework of American government and politics, establishing the United States of America, its national government and outlining the relationships between that government, the people and the states. The most significant features of the U. S. Constitution are the establishment of the rule of law, the creation of a federal system with a supreme national government, the separation of governmental powers into three branches that check and balance each other, its flexibility and the establishment of a republican form of government. The Constitution and the Rule of Law The most profound accomplishment of the American Framers was the establishment of a document that is the supreme law of the land. No monarch, political leader or lawyer can create law simply by declaring something to be law. In the United States, the Constitution is \"\"king.\"\" 1 Only laws passed through the mechanisms established by the Constitution are valid. Furthermore, any law that is inconsistent with the limitations, structures or principles established by the Constitution is considered, by definition, invalid.

The last is presented most fully, to whit, \"\"secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.\"\" Taken together, those six define the ends of republican government. To best achieve those ends the American founders recognized that simple republicanism was not enough, that what was required was a compound republic, what we today call a federal system. The history of the founding generation of the United States of America is in no small measure a history of finding the way to such a compound republic, what the preamble refers to as a \"\"more perfect union,\"\" the first item on the list. For the founders, republicanism meant popular government, what Daniel Webster and Abraham Lincoln were later to define as \"\"government of the people, by the people, and for the people.\"\" Almost immediately most of them began to see that republicanism of that kind had to be democratic republicanism. Hence, once the Constitution was established, the thrust of the American political experience has been in the direction of strengthening the democratic aspects of the American compound republic. Let us look at the six ends of the preamble once again and read them as a list, placed in a certain order by design. I am not claiming that the framers did so deliberately."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( November 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A realigning election (often called a critical election, political realignment, or critical realignment) is a term from political science and political history describing a dramatic change in the political system. Scholars frequently apply the term to American elections and occasionally to other countries. Usually it means the coming to power for several decades of a new coalition, replacing an old dominant coalition of the other party as in 1896 when the Republican Party (GOP) became dominant, or 1932 when the Democratic Party became dominant. More specifically, it refers to American national elections in which there are sharp changes in issues, party leaders, the regional and demographic bases of power of the two parties, and structure or rules of the political system (such as voter eligibility or financing), resulting in a new political power structure that lasts for decades. Realigning elections typically separate (what are known in the field of comparative politics as) Party Systems —with 1828, for example, separating the First Party System and the Second Party System in the U. S. Political realignments can be sudden (1–4 years) or can take place more gradually (5–20 years). Most often, however, particularly in V. O. Key, Jr. 's (1955) original hypothesis, it is a single \"\"critical election\"\" that marks a realignment. By contrast a gradual process is called a \"\"secular realignment.\"\""

[ 1] [2] [3] Fueled by Shays' Rebellion and an economy faltering under the inability of the federal government to pay the debt from the American Revolution, a group later known as the Federalists generated support for a strong central government and called for a Constitutional Convention in 1787 to reconsider the Articles. In 1787, the Convention almost immediately dropped its original purpose of editing the Articles and instead drafted a new Constitution of the United States. Rejecting both confederal and unitary systems, they based the new American government on a new theory of federalism, a system of shared sovereignty that delegates some powers to the federal government and reserves other powers for the states. [ 4] [5] Among other powers, the federal legislature could now tax citizens and maintain a standing military, and had exclusive power over regulating interstate commerce and coining currency. [ 3] [6] In addition, while Article Six of the Constitution stipulated that federal law in pursuit of constitutionally assigned ends overrode any contradictory state law, the power of the national government was held in check by the Bill of Rights – particularly the Tenth Amendment, which limited federal governmental powers to only those specified in the Constitution. [ 7]Importantly, at the Convention, there was large debate over the structure of the legislative branch, eventually solved by the Connecticut Compromise. In the traditional understanding of the discussion, the larger states proposed the Virginia Plan, which allocated representation to each state proportional to its population."

"text": "Home » Features Canada’s Electoral System: Introduction to Federal and Provincial Elections Feature by Brian Doody |Elections & Political Parties| Dec 3, 2007While the origins of some elements of Canada’s electoral system can be traced back to medieval England, others have been added more recently and reflect changes in the way that election campaigns have evolved, as well as an ongoing concern that elections be kept free and fair. This article gives an overview of Canada’s federal and provincial electoral systems, including their basic framework and operation, their historical development, as well as key rules governing the conduct of political parties, election candidates, and the media. Basic Framework of the Canadian Electoral System Federalism, single-member constituencies, and first-past-the-post voting History and Development of the Canadian Electoral System Some elements of Canada’s system can be traced back nearly 800 years Operation of the Canadian Electoral System Calling an election, election officers, selection of candidates, and voter lists Election Regulations for Parties, Candidates, and the Media Legal rules governing the conduct of key election actors Sources and Links to More Information Lists of article sources and links to more on this topic This article was written by Brian Doody. It has since been altered by Jay Makarenko. Basic Framework of the Canadian Electoral System Federalism, single-member constituencies, and first-past-the-post voting What is an Electoral System? An electoral system is the process by which voters’ preferences are translated into seats in a legislature. Voters express their preference (that is, their vote) by casting a ballot; ballots are then counted to determine which representatives are elected to the respective legislative body. In this way, voters in a society choose the representatives who have the power to make that society’s laws and to govern it on the voters’ behalf. Electoral systems differ widely between political jurisdictions. Canada’s electoral system is characterized by several qualities: federalism, single-member constituencies, and a first-past-the-post ( FPTP) voting system."

Flag Is North Korea Federal Confederate or Unitary? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. North Korea is neither a unitary, federal or confederate form of government-at least not according to the distribution of power. Firstly, not all governments fit this paradigm. Democratically organized, parliamentary and presidential governments as well as some constitutional monarchies may, but not dictatorships. I do not have the time to respond accordingly, however, suffice it to say, you need to clearly define the three, and then juxtapose them with the organization/distribution of power within the North Korean state. I think you may want to ask how state power is exercised in North Korea, and perhaps by observing the political structure, you may discover that where the people have little voice in the political process, municipalities are largely subordinate to central government policies, and the economy is centrally planned as well, we have something akin to a dictatorship. An economy is inexorably tied to its government, and in the case of North Korea, we have a Socialist, centrally planned economy under the duress of a political despot. Obviously, this is subject to the scrutiny of other postings, and you must then decide which response better fits your cultural experience."

It is contagious and is passed on to another person through saliva or sharing glasses. A lip blister occurs in groups on the upper part of lips and is caused by herpes simplex virus-1. Generally the virus attacks your body and remains inactive inside and develops further when you have some infection or fever or weakened immunity due to other reasons. It remains inactive on the nerves of the face and slowly becomes active when the right time comes. The virus of herpes simplex can cause potential danger to people with lowered immunity level. Causes : Lip blisters are caused by herpes simplex virus HSV-1. It may occur due to emotional stress or trauma on the lips or due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. Sometimes it may infect your eyes, fingers and even genitals. Symptoms : Fever, nausea, vomiting, headache are some of the common symptoms of lip blisters."

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICESPublic Health Service National Institutes of Health National Institute of Dental Research NIH Publication No. 92-247Revised July 1992Fever Blisters and Canker Sores Fever blisters and canker sores are two of the most common disorders of the mouth, causing discomfort and annoyance to millions of Americans. Both cause small sores to develop in or around the mouth, and often are confused with each other. Canker sores, however, occur only inside the mouth--on the tongue and the inside linings of the cheeks, lips and throat. Fever blisters, also called cold sores, usually occur outside the mouth--on the lips, chin, cheeks or in the nostrils. When fever blisters do occur inside the mouth, it is usually on the gums or the roof of the mouth. Inside the mouth, fever blisters are smaller than canker sores, heal more quickly, and often begin as a blister. Both canker sores and fever blisters have plagued mankind for thousands of years. Scientists at the National Institute of Dental Research, one of the federal government's National Institutes of Health, are seeking ways to better control and ultimately prevent these and other oral disorders.

"text": "How to Get Rid of a Fever Blister on a Lipby JAMIE SIMPSON Oct. 14, 2017Fever blisters, also known as cold sores, are caused by the herpes simplex 1 virus (HSV-1). After the first infection and outbreak, which often occurs in childhood, this virus remains in the body, often in a dormant or inactive stage. However, HSV-1 can become active and cause repeated outbreaks during illness, stress, if your immune system is weak, or when the lip is exposed to trauma or excess sun. These blisters can be painful and embarrassing, and may seem to take forever to clear up. While there is no current way to get rid of HSV-1 in the body, there are steps you can take to lessen pain and discomfort, and reduce the number of days you experience an outbreak. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Without treatment, most fever blisters take a few weeks to heal. Consider using an over-the-counter (OTC) product to speed up the healing process. Abreva (docosanol 10 percent cream) is a readily available OTC option that works by blocking the replication of the virus, however it needs to be applied at the first sign of a blister to be effected. When you feel that characteristic itching and burning that precedes the eruption of the blister, apply Abreva right away, then 5 times daily for up to 10 days. Step 2For faster healing time, another option is to try Viroxin, an single-dose OTC product only available through dental professionals."

The tingling stage, also called the prodromal stage, lasts for one to two days. The tingling spot may swell, turn red or feel sore. The tingling stage is the best time to treat a cold sore. No cure exists, but pain management remedies do work as treatment. Treatment options include physician-prescribed antiviral medications, over-the-counter creams and ointments and icing to numb the affected area.

By leaving high school about 60% of the population are infected with oral herpes, by middle age that figure is 95%. 3) Fever blisters are normally caught by kissing someone infected with the virus. Most people who have them caught them as children - my boyfriend caught them from a quick kiss on the lips from his aunt when he was five years old. He still remembers his first cold sore. Though many people don't ever remember having a cold sore, that doesn't mean they are not infected. 8 out of 10 who have the virus never get symptoms - it is the unlucky few who do get regular cold sores."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Foods rich in fibers: fruits, vegetables and grains. Dietary fiber or roughage is the indigestible portion of food derived from plants. It has two main components: [1]Soluble fiber, which dissolves in water, is readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active by-products, and can be prebiotic and viscous. This delays gastric emptying which, in humans, can result in an extended feeling of fullness. Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, is metabolically inert and provides bulking, or it can be fermented in the large intestine. Bulking fibers absorb water as they move through the digestive system, easing defecation. Dietary fiber consists of non- starch polysaccharides and other plant components such as cellulose, resistant starch, resistant dextrins, inulin, lignins, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans, and oligosaccharides. [ 1]Dietary fibers can act by changing the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract and by changing how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed. [ 2] Some types of soluble fiber absorb water to become a gelatinous, viscous substance which may or may not be fermented by bacteria in the digestive tract. Some types of insoluble fiber have bulking action and are not fermented. ["

"text": "Food Barley Barley Nutrition Facts, Benefits & How to Cook It!Barley Nutrition Facts, Benefits & How to Cook It!625 30 347Although barley may not be as popular as other whole grains like oats, wheat, or even grain-of-the-moment quinoa, barley has some impressive health benefits. A very high fiber content, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, heart health and diabetes protection are just some of the barley nutrition benefits that make it one of the best whole grain choices. Barley is actually one of the oldest consumed grains in the world. It was a staple grain for peasants during medieval times for centuries and today is still included in the diet of many European, African, and Middle Eastern nations that have been eating barley for thousands of years. Barley provides a range of important vitamins and minerals: fiber, selenium, B vitamins, copper, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, niacin, and more. And when compared to many other grains, even other ancient whole-grains, barley is lower in fat and calories, but higher in dietary fiber and certain trace minerals. For example a one-cup serving of cooked barley has less calories, but more fiber, than an equal serving of quinoa, brown rice, amaranth, sorghum, millet or wild rice. Barley Nutrition Facts About one cup of cooked hulled barley, which is about equivalent to 1/3 cup uncooked, provides: ( 1)217 Calories About 1 gram fat10 grams fiber7 grams protein45 grams carbohydrates1 mg manganese (60%)23 mg selenium (42%).3 mg copper (34%).4 mg vitamin B1 (33%)162 mg phosphorus (23%)80 mg magnesium (20%)8 mg vitamin B3 (18%)To get the most benefits from barley nutrition, it’s recommended that you first soak and sprout hulled uncooked barley grains, or you can choose to buy sprouted barley flour for baking. Sprouting whole grains helps to unleash their nutrients, so that the body can actually absorb and use the various vitamins and minerals found within the grain. This is because all whole grains contain certain antinutrients, like phytic acid for example, which bind to nutrients and make them very difficult to absorb."

Kissel, Professor and Director, Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories The largest operating cost in a livestock production enterprise is the feed bill. To keep this cost low, one must supply the right amount of feed to the animals. Overfeeding is wasteful. Underfeeding will decrease animal performance and profitability. Therefore, proper animal feeding and nutrition are crucial to the profitability of the livestock enterprise. Laboratory analyses of the composition of feed or forage are used to assess their nutritive value (Figure 1). A typical feed analysis includes measurements of some important quality attributes or parameters (e.g., crude protein, fiber, digestibility, etc.) used to define nutritive value. Other parameters are analyzed under some special circumstances. For example, acid detergent insoluble crude protein (ADICP) is usually only measured if heat damage to the feed is suspected."

This brand-name weight loss supplement is actually made with a fiber, glucomannan, derived from the konjac root found in parts of east Asia. People in China, Japan and other parts of southeast Asia have used konjac root products for centuries as part of traditional Chinese medicine to detoxify the body, suppress tumors, achieve blood stasis (a tenet of many diseases, according to ancient practices, that involves the proper movement of blood through the body), eliminate phlegm, treat asthma and cough, correct skin disorders and burns, treat hernia, and reduce breast pain.

These benefits will be few if you select wheat that has been processed into 60% extraction, bleached white flour. 60% extraction—the standard for most wheat products in the United States, including breads, noodles and pastas, baked goods like rolls or biscuits, and cookies—means that 40% of the original wheat grain was removed, and only 60% is left. Unfortunately, the 40% that gets removed includes the bran and the germ of the wheat grain—its most nutrient-rich parts. In the process of making 60% extraction flour, over half of the vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber are lost. Since 1941, laws in the United States have required \"\"enrichment\"\" of processed wheat flour with vitamins B1, B2, B3 and iron in response to the problems created by 60% extraction. Since not nearly as much of these B vitamins and iron are replaced as are removed from 60% extraction flour, \"\"enriched\"\" seems an odd word to describe this process."

"text": "Calories Nutrients or Food? June 9, 2007 by lylemcd 5 Comments In this article, I want to look at a somewhat fundamental aspect of general nutrition; that is the distinction between calorie intake, nutrient intake, and food intake. This is relevant for the simple fact that the average person doesn’t think in terms of calorie intake, and they probably don’t think in terms of nutrient intake. Rather, they think in terms of eating food; thus it’s important to examine the distinction between those three ‘categories’ of intake. Calories Ignoring the fringe that claims that the calorie counting theory is invalid or doesn’t work, most diet books deal predominantly with calories (everywhere but the US, joules are used). They’ll discuss caloric intake (from food) or caloric expenditure (from activity) or compare the two. In discussing what is happening to the body (weight gain or loss), they’ll compare the energy balance equation which compares calories in to calories out. So what, you ask, is a calorie? A calorie is a measure of heat. One calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius."

"text": "Honey is bad for us. Here’s Why. [ social_share] Categories: Relationships,Talia's Must Read,Uncategorized,Houston, we have a problem. This problem is that we have a tendency to believe that any food produced naturally must be good for us. One of the best examples disproving this point is the sticky, sweet nectar produced by bees from flowers and beloved by a certain Mr. Winnie the Pooh- aka honey. If Pooh were a real bear, he would be devastated to learn that honey is anything but healthful and heavenly. Thank goodness Pooh isn’t real and we won’t need to break the bad news to him. This picture of honey may look pretty, but pretty things can be harmful. Snow white learned this the hard way from biting into a shiny poisonous apple. Consuming honey won’t lead to falling asleep until a handsome prince wakes you up with a kiss, but too much honey does put stress on our bodies and increases our risk for type II diabetes."

"text": "Financial Action Task Force (FATF)3.1 What is the FATF? The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) can be seen as the international standard-setter in the fight against terrorist financing and money laundering. It was established in 1989, by a Group of Seven (G-7) Summit held in Paris. The summit recognised the growing threat posed by money laundering to the banking system and financial institutions and set up the FATF to develop and promote national and international policies, globally, to help eliminate this threat. In 2001, the FATF took over responsibility for the development of standards in the fight against terrorist financing. The FATF’s main responsibility is to ensure global action to combat money laundering and terrorist financing is undertaken. Since its creation, the FATF has been at the forefront of measures designed to counter criminal attempts to use the financial system to further criminal and terrorist purposes. Most notably, in 1990 the FATF established a series of money laundering recommendations. In 2001, they established a series of special recommendations on the prominent threat of terrorist financing, collectively known as the 40+9 Recommendations whose aim was to unite anti-money laundering and terrorist financing efforts into one universal instrument. The FATF examines techniques and counter-measures and reviews whether existing national and international policies are sufficient to combat the developing threat."

An example of accountability is when an employee admits an error she made on a project. When an employee is given the task of making sure a project goes right and knows she will be blamed if it doesn't, she can also be said to have accountability for the project.

"text": "Share 0 Tweet 0 Download The challenge in devising a reliable measure of U. S. military power is that the effort must be rooted in a concrete understanding of what national security is and what it is not. This essay examines the elements of national security, providing both definitions of terms and a clarification of related concepts. It concludes with a number of takeaways from this analysis to help guide the making of a National Security Strategy. A Short History of National Security Modern concepts of national security arose in the 17th century during the Thirty Years War in Europe and the Civil War in England. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia established the idea that the nation-state had sovereign control not only of domestic affairs such as religion, but also of external security. The idea of the nation-state is commonplace today, yet it would be wrong to assume that it is the only way to look at international security. The pre-Westphalia international system was based on the assumption that there existed a universal principle governing the affairs of states led by emperors, popes, kings, and princes. That was indeed the principle of the Holy Roman Empire. The new idea of the nation-state took a different approach. Peace and stability could be better served if people were not slaughtering each other over some universal principle—in that case, religion."

Let Us Help You What is Fraud Law? Fraud law covers a broad range of crimes and civil tort actions that address situations in which a person wrongfully obtains money, property, or other benefits by deceit. In the criminal context, fraud is typically charged as a felony, meaning that a conviction can result in a year or more of incarceration. Criminal penalties can also include statutory fines, restitution (victim reimbursement), community service, as well as the loss of civil rights associated with a felony conviction. In civil court, financial compensation is generally the plaintiff’s sole remedy. Fraud cases can be brought in either state or federal court. The Issue of Fraudulent Intent Proving fraud can be difficult, even for government prosecutors with entire investigative agencies at their disposal. The difficulty is not establishing that the victim suffered a loss. Financial records are usually available to prove this element."

C4Preceded by DSM-IV-TRThe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5) is the 2013 update to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the taxonomic and diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In the United States, the DSM serves as a universal authority for psychiatric diagnoses. Treatment recommendations, as well as payment by health care providers, are often determined by DSM classifications, so the appearance of a new version has significant practical importance. The DSM-5 was published on May 18, 2013, superseding the DSM-IV-TR, which was published in 2000. The development of the new edition began with a conference in 1999 and proceeded with the formation of a Task Force in 2007, which developed and field-tested a variety of new classifications. In most respects, the DSM-5 is not greatly modified from the DSM-IV-TR; however, some significant differences exist between them. Notable changes in the DSM-5 include the reconceptualization of Asperger syndrome from a distinct disorder to an autism spectrum disorder; the elimination of subtypes of schizophrenia; the deletion of the \"\"bereavement exclusion\"\" for depressive disorders; the renaming of gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria, along with a revised treatment plan; the inclusion of binge eating disorder as a discrete eating disorder; the renaming and reconceptualization of paraphilias to paraphilic disorders; the removal of the axis system; and the splitting of disorders not otherwise specified into other specified disorders and unspecified disorders. In addition, the DSM-5 is the first DSM to use an Arabic numeral instead of a Roman numeral in its title, as well as the first \"\" living document \"\" version of a DSM. ["

This lesson introduces you to the General Staff. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: Identify the ICS titles used for General Staff members. Describe the roles and functions of the four Sections. General Staff To maintain span of control, the Incident Commander may establish the following four Sections: Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. The General Staff, or Section Chiefs, report directly to the Incident Commander. General Staff Overview The General Staff overall responsibilities at an incident scene are summarized below: In an expanding incident, the Incident Commander first establishes the Operations Section. The remaining Sections are established as needed to support the operation. ICS Position Titles: Review ICS supervisory titles are important because they allow many different agencies to work together under a common organizational structure. Using consistent titles ensures that personnel from different organizations have the same credentials and qualifications."

"text": "\"DEFINITION of 'Great Leap Forward'The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social campaign in the 1950s that intended to change China from an agrarian economy into a modern society. It was an effort made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) under the leadership of Mao Zedong (also known as Mao Tse-tung) to transform China into a society capable of competing with other Western industrialized nations, within a short, five-year time period. In January 1958, the Great Leap Forward, the second Five-Year Plan, was launched, and between 1958 and 1960, millions of Chinese citizens were moved to communes to work on farms or in manufacturing. Private farming was prohibited. Next Up Communism Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities ... Index Roll Forward Market BREAKING DOWN 'Great Leap Forward'The Great Leap Forward was intended to modernize the Chinese economy following the communist revolution. Mao had toured China after coming to power in 1949 and concluded that the Chinese people were capable of anything. The two primary tasks that he felt his government should target were to modernize industry and agriculture. These are the two main sectors of the communist command economy, represented in the Soviet flag with the hammer of an industrial worker and the sickle of the agrarian harvester. Mao announced the Great Leap Forward plan would last from 1958 to 1963. This plan attempted to modernize China’s economy so that by 1988, China would have an economy that rivaled America."

In this lesson, you'll understand the process of financial intermediation. We'll also discuss the players in the process, the types of financial intermediaries as well as the advantages of financial intermediation. Financial Intermediation Defined Suppose you want to start a computer repair business and, at the same time, a woman named Susan, who lives in another state, has money to invest in a start-up business. If you and Susan could somehow cross paths, she could invest in your business and you could fulfill your dream of entrepreneurship. Since you probably would never find Susan on your own because she lives in another state, there's a process called financial intermediation that can ensure both of you meet your goals. Financial intermediation connects borrowers with savers; these intermediates help channel funds from one person, or entity, to another. In this lesson, we'll describe the players in this process - borrowers and savers - explain the different types of financial intermediaries, and discuss the advantages of financial intermediation. Borrowers and Savers There are two main roles in the financial intermediation process: borrowers, also known as spenders and savers, also called lenders. Let's look at borrowers first."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In statistics, originally in geostatistics, kriging or Gaussian process regression is a method of interpolation for which the interpolated values are modeled by a Gaussian process governed by prior covariances, as opposed to a piecewise-polynomial spline chosen to optimize smoothness of the fitted values. Under suitable assumptions on the priors, kriging gives the best linear unbiased prediction of the intermediate values. Interpolating methods based on other criteria such as smoothness need not yield the most likely intermediate values. The method is widely used in the domain of spatial analysis and computer experiments. The technique is also known as Wiener–Kolmogorov prediction, after Norbert Wiener and Andrey Kolmogorov. Example of one-dimensional data interpolation by kriging, with confidence intervals. Squares indicate the location of the data. The kriging interpolation, shown in red, runs along the means of the normally distributed confidence intervals shown in gray. The dashed curve shows a spline that is smooth, but departs significantly from the expected intermediate values given by those means. The theoretical basis for the method was developed by the French mathematician Georges Matheron in 1960, based on the Master's thesis of Danie G. Krige, the pioneering plotter of distance-weighted average gold grades at the Witwatersrand reef complex in South Africa."

Spink Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0091-679X (07)84005-2 Get rights and content Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has emerged as a powerful experimental technique for determining thermodynamic properties of biomacromolecules. The ability to monitor unfolding or phase transitions in proteins,polynucleotides, and lipid assemblies has not only provided data on thermodynamic stability for these important molecules, but also made it possible to examine the details of unfolding processes and to analyze the characteristics of intermediate states involved in the melting of biopolymers. The recent improvements in DSC instrumentation and software have generated new opportunities for the study of the effects of structure and changes in environment on the behavior of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. This review presents some of the details of application of DSC to the examination of the unfolding of biomolecules. After a brief introduction to DSC instrumentation used for the study of thermal transitions, the methods for obtaining basic thermodynamic information from the DSC curve are presented. Then, using DNA unfolding as an example, methods for the analysis of the melting transition are presented that allow deconvolution of the DSC curves to determine more subtle characteristics of the intermediate states involved in unfolding. Two types of transitions are presented for analysis, the first example being the unfolding of two large synthetic polynucleotides, which display high cooperativity in the melting process. The second example shows the application of DSC for the study of the unfolding of a simple hairpin oligonucleotide. Details of the data analysis are presented in a simple spreadsheet format. Previous chapter Next chapter I. Introduction Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is an experimental technique that has contributed significantly to understanding of the stability of biomacromolecules and of macromolecular assemblies."

Koszewski, Ashley M. Lessmeier, Melodee Nugent, Pippa Simpson Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics Comments Download PDFAbstract OBJECTIVE: Relatively minor abusive injuries can precede severe physical abuse in infants. Our objective was to determine how often abused infants have a previous history of “sentinel” injuries, compared with infants who were not abused. METHODS: Case-control, retrospective study of 401, <12-month-old infants evaluated for abuse in a hospital-based setting and found to have definite, intermediate concern for, or no abuse after evaluation by the hospital-based Child Protection Team. A sentinel injury was defined as a previous injury reported in the medical history that was suspicious for abuse because the infant could not cruise, or the explanation was implausible. RESULTS: Of the 200 definitely abused infants, 27.5% had a previous sentinel injury compared with 8% of the 100 infants with intermediate concern for abuse (odds ratio: 4.4, 95% confidence interval: 2.0–9.6; P < .001). None of the 101 nonabused infants (controls) had a previous sentinel injury ( P < .001). The type of sentinel injury in the definitely abused cohort was bruising (80%), intraoral injury (11%), and other injury (7%). Sentinel injuries occurred in early infancy: 66% at <3 months of age and 95% at or before the age of 7 months. Medical providers were reportedly aware of the sentinel injury in 41.9% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: Previous sentinel injuries are common in infants with severe physical abuse and rare in infants evaluated for abuse and found to not be abused."

"text": "\"Process Vs Network Structure The process and network structure are forms of horizontal structures, this article explains the two models and their key differences. The Process Structure The process structure is a horizontal approach where instead of organizing along the product or function, the organization is structured along the key processes. Typically, a process refers to a set of related tasks and activities that work together in a predetermined sequence to transform inputs into user consumable outputs. The main challenge is to identify the core business processes which produce product or service that is directly consumed by the customers. A divisional structure can be reorganized horizontally by identifying the dependencies between different divisions or sub-divisions. Similarly, a matrix can be sliced horizontally along the product management and inter-connected based on interdependencies, such decomposition and realignment results in identification of core business processes. Once the core processes are identified, multi-skilled teams around the sub-processes are created and each team is lead by a process owner. The process owners have the complete responsibility for each core process. Strengths of process structure Strong Customer Orientation: The entire structure is formulated to serve the customers; the performance of the teams can be easily measured by the customer satisfaction and value that is created by the process group. Rapid Response: The customer focus enables the designated process owners and team leaders to have direct relationship with its customers; hence the employees have broader view of the product and customer requirements."

It has the ability to combine measurements of the project management triangle: scope, time, and costs. In a single integrated system, earned value management is able to provide accurate forecasts of project performance problems, which is an important contribution for project management. Early EVM research showed that the areas of planning and control are significantly impacted by its use; and similarly, using the methodology improves both scope definition as well as the analysis of overall project performance. More recent research studies have shown that the principles of EVM are positive predictors of project success. [ 1] Popularity of EVM has grown in recent years beyond government contracting, a sector in which its importance continues to rise [2] (e.g. recent new DFARS rules [3] ), in part because EVM can also surface in and help substantiate contract disputes.

This article lists the ten most common best practices that the Microsoft SQL Server development team recommends with respect to optimizing Analysis Services query performance. For additional discussions about Analysis Services best practices related to query performance, see The Analysis Services Performance Guide and OLAP Design Best Practices for Analysis Services 2005. Optimize cube and measure group design Define cascading attribute relationships (for example Day > Month > Quarter > Year) and define user hierarchies of related attributes (called natural hierarchies) within each dimension as appropriate for your data. Attributes participating in natural hierarchies are materialized on disk in hierarchy stores and are automatically considered to be aggregation candidates. User hierarchies are not considered to be natural hierarchies unless the attributes comprising the levels are related through cascading attribute relationships. With SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2), a warning appears in Business Intelligence Development Studio with each user hierarchy that is not defined as a natural hierarchy. Remove redundant relationships between attributes to assist the query execution engine in generating the appropriate query plan. Attributes need to have either a direct or an indirect relationship to the key attribute, not both. Keep cube space as small as possible by only including measure groups that are needed."

Further, compliance regulations, like Basel II and SOX, mandate a focus on operational risks, forcing financial organizations to identify, measure, evaluate, control and manage this ubiquitous risk. This has led to an increased emphasis on the importance of having a sound operational risk management (ORM) practice in place, especially when dealing with internal capital assessment and allocation process. This makes ORM one of the most complex and fastest growing risk disciplines in financial institutions. Request an ORM Demo Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve American Bankers Association, during Annual Convention on October 5, 2004 held, “It would be a mistake to conclude that the only way to succeed in banking is through ever-greater size and diversity. Indeed, better risk management may be the only truly necessary element of success in banking. ”Banks and financial institutions are undergoing a sea change and today face an environment marked by growing consolidation, rising customer expectations, increasing regulatory quirements, proliferating financial engineering, uprising technological innovation and mounting competition. This has increased the probability of failure or mistakes from the operations point of view – resulting in increased focus on managing operational risks. Operational risk losses have often led to the downfall of financial institutions, with more than 100 reported losses exceeding US$100 million in the recent years. The regulators of financial companies and banks are demanding a far greater level of insight and awareness by directors about the risks they manage, and the effectiveness of the controls they have in place to reduce or mitigate these risks."

"text": "Main article Introduction Conceptual issues Data sources Gross domestic product by size of business Sensitivity analysis Conclusions1 Introduction Small and large firms play different roles in an economy. New firms that bring new products and ideas to markets are generally small at the beginning of their life cycle; later, as the industry turns to focus more on homogeneous products some firms begin to move down the cost curve by developing large-scale production processes that exploit economies of scale. Size diversity then exists within industrial populations because small and large firms fulfill different functions. The idea that small and large firms provide a different economic function is a feature of theories explaining the coexistence of large and small firms. These theories are often intertwined with the product life-cycle hypothesis. Porter (1979) and Caves and Porter (1977) speak of strategic groups within industries—with groups that focus on a survival strategy of achieving economies of scale and other groups that focus on a specialist's strategy of occupying market niches. More directly, Nooteboom (1994) argues that the difference in the core characteristics of small and large businesses means that they play alternating roles in the product life cycle: large firms have more resources to produce basic technological innovations; the closeness of small firms to their consumers means small firms are more able to translate these basic innovations into new products; larger firms are more able to exploit scale economies as price competition develops; smaller firms are in a better position to exploit residual niche markets. 1Analyses often compare various measures of size distribution across countries in order to infer differences in dynamism, maturity and efficiency of their economies. 2 In most of these studies, the importance of the small and medium-sized businesses is measured in terms of employment, which is an input to the production process. A superior measure is the amount of output produced—because large amounts of an input may be used by a particular group of firms (either small or large) to produce relatively little output."

Let us address this issue briefly and then move on to the bigger issue of how to deal with this once you determine that you are, in fact, acting as a fiduciary. ( And, you probably are.) Defining a fiduciary might be as simple as saying it is a person who has legal and/or moral responsibility for managing someone else's money. If we accept this broad definition, then most financial advisors would be considered fiduciaries, including wirehouse brokers. A registered investment advisor (RIA) is always a fiduciary; for the dually registered broker/RIA, one would need to study the client services agreement to determine whether a fiduciary relationship exists. An investment consultant could be deemed a fiduciary: When the consultant has discretion over a client's assets. When the client is dependent upon the consultant's advice. When the consultant is providing a client with comprehensive and continuous investment advice."

Jackson Grayson, onetime head of the Wage and Price Commission and also author of one of the first books on applied decision analysis, urged analysts to “put people, time, power, data accessibility, and response time into models and create crude, workable solutions” if they wanted busy people like himself to use them. 1At the time, decision analysis was still an experimental management technique, a fairly straightforward application of statistical decision theory. 2 The choice facing a decision maker was expressed as a mathematical function of probability and utility numbers, which measured the person’s uncertainties and value judgments. ( The best option was the one with the highest expected utility.) Although decision analysis was well established as a way to quantify logically the considerations that go into any choice among options, it had just begun to move out of the business schools and into practical application in the business world. Only a handful of corporations provided in-house expertise, and consultants specializing in decision analysis were rarely called on. Now, after ten years of sometimes humbling feedback from the real world, analysts have learned to be more flexible and modest in how to make the basic decision theory formulation useful to managers. The technology has been enhanced to capture more considerations relevant to sound decision making, notably through multiattribute utility analysis and improved interaction with the user. Decision analysis has emerged as a complement to older decision-making techniques such as systems modeling and operations research. In addition to statistical decision theory, the new technology draws on psychology, economics, and social science."

Nelson Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks This page last updated on 25-Sep-2017Definition of Metamorphism The word \"\" Metamorphism \"\" comes from the Greek: meta = after, morph = form, so metamorphism means the after form. In geology this refers to the changes in mineral assemblage and texture that result from subjecting a rock to pressures and temperatures different from those under which the rock originally formed. The original rock that has undergone metamorphism is called the protolith. Protolith can be any type of rock and sometimes the changes in texture and mineralogy are so dramatic that is difficult to distinguish what the protolith was. Note that diagenesis and weathering are also a changes in form that occur in rocks. In geology, however, we restrict diagenetic processes to those which occur at temperatures below 200 o C and pressures below about 300 MPa (MPa stands for Mega Pascals), this is equivalent to about 3,000 atmospheres of pressure. Metamorphism therefore occurs at temperatures and pressures higher than 200 o C and 300 MPa. Rocks can be subjected to these higher temperatures and pressures as they become buried deeper in the Earth. Such burial usually takes place as a result of tectonic processes such as continental collisions or subduction."

Learn about the different textures and parent rocks of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic Rocks Did you know that metamorphic rocks have parents? Now, they're not parents like your mom and dad, but they do come from parent rocks. These parent rocks can be any type of rock, meaning they can be igneous, sedimentary or even other metamorphic rocks. Knowing the parent rock helps us classify these rocks, and we can further classify them by their texture. Foliated vs. Non-Foliated When we classify by texture, what we're really taking a look at is the mineral crystals within the rocks. The texture of a metamorphic rock can be either foliated and appear layered or banded, or non-foliated and appear uniform in texture without banding. Foliated rocks contain many different kinds of minerals, but non-foliated rocks contain only one main mineral, which contributes to their more uniform appearance, as we will learn later."

This can occur when a given rock is exposed to intense heat, pressure, or hot fluids. Recalling igneous rocks, the specific rock that forms from a given magma depends on the components of the magma, the temperature at which the magma cools, how quickly the magma cools and also the pressure at which the rock forms. As materials crystallize, the atoms form a structure that is most stable at the temperature and pressure of the environment. Imagine a group of people filling a small room. If only a few people are in the room there is plenty of space for people to spread out and move around while they talk. However, as more and more people enter the room, those same people no longer have the same space and may have to adjust their bodies to become more comfortable. Although, rocks differ significantly from people, pressure and temperature will have the same effect on the atoms that make up the rock. As pressure or temperature increases, the atoms that make up the original rock must rearrange themselves in order to form a more stable or \"\"comfortable\"\" structure, just as people in a room."

The classification of metamorphic rocks is based on the minerals that are present and the temperature and pressure at which these minerals form. Determination of this information is not easily accomplished in this lab. Therefore, a simplified system is used based on texture and composition. Texture Texture is divided into two groups. Foliated textures show a distinct planar character. This means that the minerals in the rock are all aligned with each other. This planar character can be flat like a piece of slate or folded. Non-foliated textures have minerals that are not aligned."

Copyright The Columbia University Pressmetamorphism, in geology, process of change in the structure, texture, or composition of rocks caused by agents of heat, deforming pressure, shearing stress, hot, chemically active fluids, or a combination of these, acting while the rock being changed remains essentially in the solid state. Theoretically, rocks are formed when their constituents are in equilibrium with ambient physical conditions. If the conditions are changed by movements in the earth's crust or by igneous activity, metamorphism occurs to reestablish equilibrium and changes the physical character of the rock mass. Characteristics of Metamorphism In general, a metamorphic rock is coarser and has a higher density and lower porosity than the rock from which it was formed. Under low grade metamorphic conditions, the original rocks may only compact, as in the formation of slate from shale. High grade metamorphism changes the rock so completely that the source rock often cannot be readily identified. Foliation Alteration of rock texture by metamorphism commonly results in a rearrangement of mineral particles into a parallel alignment, called foliation, as a result of directed stress. Foliation, called banding or layering, is probably the single most characteristic property of metamorphic rocks. For example, slate is a metamorphic rock in which there has been little recrystallization of fine-grained sedimentary shale, but mineral realignment gives the rock a tendency to break along smooth planes termed slaty cleavage."

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that have undergone changes in mineralogy, texture and/or chemical composition as a result of changes in temperature and pressure. The original rock may have been igneous, sedimentary or another metamorphic rock.2. The pressure and heat that drive metamorphism are consequences of three forces: (a) internal heat of the Earth. ( b) weight of the overlying rock. ( c) horizontal or tectonic forces that cause the rocks to deform.3. Figure 8.1: Pressures and temperatures increase as we go deeper into the earth. Temperatures increase with depth at different rates depending on the location.4, Figure 8.2: A measure of the rate at which temperatures increase with depth is a measure of the geothermal gradient.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the cementing together of sediments, or from the compaction (squeezing together) of sediments, or from the recrystallization of new mineral grains which are larger than the original crystals. Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure changing the original or parent rock into a completely new rock. The parent rock can be either sedimentary, igneous, or even another metamorphic rock. The word \"\"metamorphic\"\" comes from Greek and means \"\"To Change Form\"\". The diagram above shows you how the rocks on Earth have been changed continually over time from one rock type to another. This changing of rock types is called the \"\"Rock Cycle\"\". Solid rock can be changed into a new rock by stresses that cause an increase in heat and pressure. There are 3 main agents that cause metamorphism."

It is composed primarily of hornblende (amphibole) and plagioclase, usually with very little quartz. The specimen shown above is about two inches (five centimeters) across. What are Metamorphic Rocks? Metamorphic rocks have been modified by heat, pressure, and chemical processes, usually while buried deep below Earth's surface. Exposure to these extreme conditions has altered the mineralogy, texture, and chemical composition of the rocks. There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks. Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite do not have a layered or banded appearance."

"text": "\"Bible verses about Forbearance ( From Forerunner Commentary )Have we made forbearance a part of our character? We often think we are forbearing, and we may not be. The basic dictionary definition of forbearance is \"\"refraining from the enforcement of something.\"\" Refraining from the enforcement of something could be a debt, a right we have, an obligation that has come due and needs to be paid, etc. This is a legal-sounding definition. The idea of forbearance arises in the Bible under different words. Forbearance could be explained as showing patience, even though a thing is owed to us. It is holding back or restraining the self from doing something that is normal to do. It is controlling oneself when provoked or offended. Its synonyms show us some of the nuances of forbearance: \"\"patience,\"\" \"\"leniency.\"\""

By adding to our faith such graces as virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, and godliness, we are slowly becoming more like our Lord. This is in keeping with God's predetermined plan that we be conformed to the image of His Son (cf. Ro 8:29). Equally important to spiritual growth is the development of brotherly kindness. Together with love, it adds a focus to our spiritual maturity that is outward (and not just inward and upward), for it affects how we act toward other people. The Definition Of Brotherly Kindness The Greek word for brotherly kindness is transliterated \"\"philadelphia,\"\" a compound involving two words: \"\"phileo\"\" (love) and \"\"adelphos\"\" (brother). It literally means \"\"the love of brothers.\"\" As used in the New Testament, \"\"philadelphia\"\" describes the love which Christians cherish for each other as brethren (Thayer). Romans 12:10 reveals that it is through brotherly kindness that we can have \"\"kind affection\"\" toward one another."

"text": "10-17-2013 | 03:53 PM Author: David S. Rich For Purposes of New York Usury Laws, What Fees or Charges Are Included in Loan Interest Rates? In New York State, charging interest of more than 16% per year is civil usury . Further, in New York, charging, taking, or receiving interest of 25% or more is criminal usury. Lenders and borrowers frequently ask me what fees or charges count toward a loan’s interest rate for purposes of New York’s usury laws. The answer depends upon the nature of the loan. With respect to any loan or forbearance secured primarily by an interest in real property improved by a one- or two-family residence occupied by the owner, the term ‘interest,’ for purposes of New York’s civil and criminal usury statutes, “includes [s] origination fees, points and other discounts and all other amounts paid or payable, directly or indirectly, by any person, to or for the account of the lender in consideration for making the loan or forbearance,” except for those categories of fees and charges which are set forth in 3 N. Y. C. R. R. § 4.3. 3 N. Y. C. R. R. § 4.2 [ an annotated version of this statute is available to lexis.com subscribers ] ; see N. Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-501 (2) [ annotated version ]. With regard to the above-described home mortgage loans, the fees and charges which 3 N. Y. C. R. R. § 4.3 excludes from the definition of ‘interest’ include, among other categories, the following, if itemized in writing to the borrower: Reasonable fees, charges and costs for appraisal of property securing the loan or forbearance, for preparation of surveys, for title examinations, for title insurance, for legal services, and for notarizations and authentications;Charges for the payment of transfer, mortgage recording and other taxes and governmental charges; and Fees and charges paid or payable under a written agreement between the lender and the borrower upon the occurrence of specific acts or defaults of the borrower, such as prepayment penalties, charges for delinquent or late payments, and collection fees.3 N. Y. C. R. R. § 4.3 (b), 4.3 (e), 4.3 (g) [ annotated version ]. With respect to any loan or forbearance other than the above-described residential mortgage loans, the term ‘interest,’ for purposes of New York’s civil and criminal usury statutes, “mean [s] all amounts paid or payable, directly or indirectly, by any person, to or for the account of the lender which would be includible as interest under New York law as it existed prior to the enactment of [section 14-a of the New York Banking Law,] chapter 349 of the Laws of 1968.”"

"text": "\"QUESTION: Why do some women only wear long hair to church? If someone like me comes in with it short, they can really make us feel uncomfortable. What does the Bible say about this? ANSWER: I, a female believer like you, am just as frustrated in regards to people judging others, especially women, whether it is their hair, or clothing or even how they behave before they get to know the individual and understand why or who they are. This is not following the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible, which tell us to bear with one another and not to judge unless we want to be judged in the same way. I had short hair in my younger days because it was the easiest for me to take care of since I did not care as much about the latest in styles or making a fashion statement. I just wanted it, whether at work or at play or at church, to be in control when I was out in public. Now that I am retired and have little money to spend at a beauty salon I wear it long and pin it up into some kind of comfortable style that is neat and out of my face. The apostle Paul taught that long locks on MARRIED women ( and not all females regardless of their marital status) was her glory and that men who wear their's long (with the exception of those who are under a Nazarite vow) was shameful. In his letter to the Corinthian church, he states the following \"\"obvious\"\" fact regarding this issue.14."

"text": "Gay-Affirming Pastor Jay Bakker: “I Am Definitely Questioning the Atonement”By Erin Benziger ∙ 15 February 2013 ∙ In Opinion ∙ Bookmark permalink Self-labeled “evangelical punk preacher” Jay Bakker, son of televangelists Jim Bakker and the late Tammy Faye Bakker Messner, has released a new book that calls into question many of orthodox Christianity’s long-held beliefs. According to the Christian Post (CP), which recently ran a rather lengthy article and interview with the 37-year-old pastor of Revolution Church NYC, Bakker’s new book will encourage “Christians to doubt, question and re-examine their beliefs and the Bible in pursuit of the ‘unknown God of limitless grace’ that [Bakker’s] come to know through his own faith journey.” Faith, Doubt and Other Lines I’ve Crossed is, according to CP, “heavy on love and grace and selective in its assessment of Scripture. ”Writes CP reporter Nicola Menzie: Although Bakker’s theology may cause some readers to bristle, his demands for a more biblically literate, compassionate and socially-conscious Christian Church certainly hold merit. As the preacher explained to The Christian Post this week, there is plenty that the Church has gotten right in terms of combating poverty and hunger, but he also insists Christians need to re-think the issues he believes much of the community has gotten wrong – especially when it comes to gays and lesbians. Source Of course, that Jay Bakker is LGBTQ-affirming is no surprise to most Christians. Neither, then, does it shock that Bakker would seek to persuade believers to “doubt, question and re-examine their beliefs and the Bible.” Yet, @Aspree draws attention to a graver statement made by Bakker in this CP interview: Jay Bakker, perhaps unsurprisingly to some, appears to deny the atonement. CP asked of Bakker: You mentioned deconstructing faith. You also seem to deconstruct the traditional Christian doctrine of the atonement, the belief that Jesus died for the world’s sins."

"text": "\"Federal Student Loan Forbearance Options Share A forbearance is a temporary modification of the monthly payment obligation on an education loan. Both federal student loans and private student loans offer forbearances, but with different criteria and terms. Forbearance options on private student loans are generally more limited than the forbearance options on federal student loans. There are three main types of forbearances: Temporary cessation of monthly payments Temporary reduction in the monthly payment amount (e.g., interest-only payments)Extension of the repayment time-frame Note that a forbearance is not a permanent modification of the loan terms. Generally, forbearance is meant to help a borrower avoid default when he or she is willing but unable to repay the loan because of poor health, financial hardship, or other reasons. Forbearance may apply to the principal portion of a loan payment, the interest portion or both. If forbearance is granted on interest, the interest that accrues during the forbearance will usually be capitalized (added to the loan balance) unless the borrower chooses to make interest-only payments during the forbearance period.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Become a new person in Christ Jesus."

"text": "Student Loan Borrowers Assistance > Repayment > Postponing Repayment > Forbearance Forbearance Forbearance allows you to temporarily postpone payments and can be helpful especially if your financial distress is not likely to last long. Unlike deferments, forbearances should be available if you are already in default. ( Note: The Department of Education does not agree with this interpretation of the forebearance rules. They say it is not available after default). Forbearance is generally not as helpful as a deferment because interest continues to accrue while the loan payments are postponed. Be careful: The loan balance can increase very quickly! Beware of servicers that insist that forbearance is the best option for you. If you are delinquent but not yet in default, you can use this tool to delay going into default. The nine month period before a delinquency is transformed to a default does not include periods of time when payments are subject to forbearance. These agreements may be made orally or in writing."

"text": "\"home / medterms medical dictionary a-z list / patient definition Medical Definition of Patient Patient: A person under health care. The person may be waiting for this care or may be receiving it or may have already received it. There is considerable lack of agreement about the precise meaning of the term \"\"patient. \"\" It is diversely defined as, for examples: A person who requires medical care. A person receiving medical or dental care or treatment. A person under a physician's care for a particular disease or condition. A person who is waiting for or undergoing medical treatment and care An individual who is receiving needed professional services that are directed by a licensed practitioner of the healing arts toward maintenance, improvement or protection of health or lessening of illness, disability or pain. ( US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)A sick, injured or wounded soldier who receives medical care or treatment from medically trained personnel. ( US Army Medical Command)From the Latin verb \"\"patior\"\" meaning \"\"to suffer\"\" both in the sense of feeling pain and in the sense of forbearance. Thus, the two uses of the word \"\"patient\"\" -- as a noun denoting \"\"someone who suffers\"\" and as an adjective meaning \"\"to bear with forbearance\"\" -- stem from the same origin."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Other - Politics & Government What year were zip codes introduced?5 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: ZIP Code is the postal code used by the United States Postal Service, which always writes ZIP with capital letters. ZIP is an acronym for the Zone Improvement Plan, but was also meant to suggest that mail travels more efficiently (and therefore faster) when senders use it. The basic ZIP Code format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP+4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP Code plus four more digits which allow a piece of mail to be even more accurately directed to a very small geography. ZIP Code was originally registered as a trademark by the U. S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired. The term \"\"ZIP Code\"\" is also used in the Philippines to name its postal codes. The Philippine ZIP Code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation. Unlike American ZIP Codes, Philippine ZIP Codes are four-digit numbers without any extensions. While the cities of Metro Manila use more than one code, towns and cities outside Metro Manila are assigned only one code for every town and city. The postal service implemented postal zones for large cities in 1943."

"text": "\"Texas land prices up again By Jennifer Hiller Updated 11:17 pm, Thursday, April 19, 2012SAN ANTONIO — Buying a slice of Texas just keeps getting more expensive. The average price of a Texas acre rose to $2,150 in 2011, up 3 percent over the previous year, according to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, which Thursday kicked off its annual two-day Outlook for Texas Land Markets conference in San Antonio. Land prices have been rising generally since the 1990s. Prices swooned slightly in 2009 with the recession and still haven't regained 2008's statewide average per-acre cost of $2,247. But institutional investors, commodity prices and the oil and gas industry have helped keep land values stable and rising.

LEE, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle Published 5:30 am, Wednesday, September 15, 2010The top executive of the YMCA of Greater Houston is the highest paid CEO of any nonprofit human service organization in the country, earning nearly $700,000 a year, according to a recent study by a charity watchdog group. The compensation study by Charity Navigator, which examined the CEO salaries of 3,000 mid- to large-sized charities, shows the median salary of top leaders was $147,273 in 2008, a 4.7 increase over the previous year. Clark Baker, who has led the Houston YMCA for eight years, earned $661,634 in 2008. The huge gap in salaries raises questions about whether Baker is being paid too much to run a charity and further flames the public's growing concern about what seems to be exorbitant pay for some nonprofit executives.

"text": "\"HISD budget includes teacher raises, bonuses Trustees approve plan with 7% spending hike By Ericka Mellon Updated 9:55 pm, Thursday, June 18, 2015Photo: Jon Shapley, Houston Chronicle Image 1 of 20HISD Superintendent Terry Grier at the HISD School Board meeting on Thursday. Thanks to more state funding and a continued rise in local property values, all HISD employees will receive raises of at least 2 percent next year under a budget approved by the school board Thursday. The $1.86 billion plan, recommended by Superintendent Terry Grier, reflects a 7 percent spending increase over last year. Focused on bolstering staff recruiting, Grier pushed through higher salaries and stipends, with the biggest bumps generally going to teachers with fewer than 10 years of experience, middle and high school principals, and bilingual teachers. Funding for teacher bonuses also remains, though the board rejected Grier's plan for how to dole out the $12 million. The payouts are scheduled for 2017, so he has time to propose revisions. Some trustees opposed the continued use of student test scores in the model, while others disliked a new, less strict provision focused on hard-to-staff schools. The new operating budget is based on the same tax rate as this year, after two straight years of the board approving increases that totaled 4 cents, to $1.1967 per $100 of taxable value. The owner of an average-priced home, with a taxable value of about $195,400, would pay more than $2,300 in taxes next year, taking into account the current state and local homestead exemptions. ( The state exemption may rise if voters approve a change in November. )"

When the Clear Lake man opened the bill, it was more than double that — $12.16 a month. \"\" It's the same thing as having them knock on your door, and when you answer there's someone with a pistol saying 'Pay up!' \"\" Menocal said. The May surprise delivered in city envelopes is the latest controversy in a public policy matter that has caused an uproar at every turn.

Llast month, a divided council passed an ordinance to implement the fee over the objections of county government officials and nonprofit agencies who wanted exemptions, as well as those of church and school leaders who sought a more absolute exemption than the one granted them. Harris County Treasurer Orlando Sanchez said Friday that the fee could not have come at a worse time for the county. \"\" It is the most inopportune time for the city to delve into the county coffers,\"\" he said. \"\""

"text": "\"Baylor hospital project to be outpatient center By Todd Ackerman Published 8:00 pm, Monday, March 5, 2012Baylor College of Medicine will not finish its once highly anticipated hospital but instead will use the building as an outpatient care center, its president said. Dr. Paul Klotman said Baylor doctors should move out of its main leased clinics and offices and into the building near the Michael E. De Bakey VA Medical Center starting in 2013 and ending in 2015, eight years after breaking ground on the expensive hospital project. Leaders described it at the time as the fulfillment of a decades-old dream. \"\" We are not so foolish as to go rushing in and create more hospital beds than are needed in Houston at this time,\"\" said Klotman, who assumed the Baylor presidency in late 2010. \"\" Outpatient care is where health care is now going. \"\" The decision, much awaited since the project was suspended during failed merger talks with Rice University three years ago, will continue to leave Baylor without a private adult hospital, unusual among elite medical schools that typically rely on such hospitals to generate revenue. But Klotman expressed confidence the out- patient center will increase Baylor's clinical revenue and improve its delivery of care. He noted it will enable Baylor to get out of 300,000 square feet of leased space, much of it at unfavorable rates.

Since her daughter's death, Colleen Shepherd had \"\"been going back and forth in terms of whether to pursue legal action, but she now has a renewed vigor,\"\" after the media coverage of Williams' death, Carpenter said. Nowzaradan said he didn't know Tina Shepherd had died. He saw her at least once after the surgery, but she failed to follow up when his office repeatedly called her at home. \"\" We called and called her to make follow-up appointments and she said she would come in, but she never showed up,\"\" he said. Nowzaradan remembers Shepherd as being \"\"super obese\"\" because she weighed more than 500 pounds. The woman actually lost 100 pounds after surgery, he said."

He’s both entrepreneurial and collaborative, and has been incredibly successful at both anticipating and seizing opportunities the moment they present themselves,” Walden and Newman added. “ Most importantly, he has forged meaningful relationships with our creators who trust him with their ideas and talent.

"text": "Leadership Vincent K. Mc Mahon, Chairman & CEOVince Mc Mahon, Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer of WWE, Inc. (WWE), is a third generation promoter who has made WWE into the global phenomenon it is today. As a pioneer in the television syndication business, a recognized television personality throughout the world, a visionary promoter and a fearless marketer, he continues to make his presence known as a leader within the broadcast and entertainment industries. In 1972, Mc Mahon joined his father’s company, Capitol Wrestling Corporation, on a full-time basis. By 1979, the company had syndicated programming to 30 television stations. In 1982, he purchased the Capitol Wrestling Corporation from his father and decided to take what had been a regional operation and turn it into a national venture. Mc Mahon soon became a pioneer in the cable television industry by leveraging the new technologies of pay-per-view and closed-circuit television for the first Wrestle Mania in 1985. Now, not only had he built a brand that people would watch in syndication, he had built the WWE into a brand that people would pay to watch. In April 2000, more than 1 million fans purchased Wrestle Mania X-6, at the time making it the most-watched non-boxing event in pay-per-view history. In February 2014, WWE Network, the first-ever 24/7 direct-to-consumer network, launched live in the U. S. In 2016, Wrestle Mania 32 set a new attendance record of 101,763, as fans from all 50 states and 35 countries converged on AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The previous WWE attendance record was at Wrestle Mania 3 in 1987, where 93,173 fans filled the Pontiac Silverdome."

Then again, he doesn’t have much time to sit still. There’s the Gordon Ramsay who’s the host of four network TV shows, watched by millions of viewers every week. There’s the producer who’s president of One Potato Two Potato, giving notes behind the scenes and coming up with ideas for shows that turn into hits around the globe. There’s the restaurateur who’s owner of 24 eateries worldwide and holder of seven coveted Michelin stars. There’s the marathon runner and the Ironman triathlete who just competed in the Kona World Championships.

"text": "The 45 Braves games that have been televised locally on Turner Broadcasting’s Peachtree TV in recent seasons will move to Fox Sports South and Sport South this year. The shift means that the two Fox-owned cable channels will have rights to all of the Braves’ local telecasts — 150-plus games per season — and that Turner will be out of the Braves TV business for the first time since the mid-1970s. It also means the last of the Braves’ telecasts are moving from a free over-the-air station, which Peachtree TV is in Atlanta, to cable. The change came as a result of the Braves and Turner Broadcasting ending their agreement on the 45-game package, and the Braves reaching a deal to consolidate those games with the other 105-plus already shown on the Fox channels, according to Braves executive vice president Derek Schiller. Neither the Braves nor Fox would reveal terms of the deal. But the Braves acknowledged it will somewhat improve their local TV revenue, which has been a source of concern because of long-term contracts signed before a recent explosion in rights fees. “Suffice it to say that this is a better deal for us,” Schiller said. “ But we’re only talking about 45 games. “We’re not reopening all 150. It would be improper to compare and contrast this against some of those teams that have had the opportunity to open up all 150 of their games and bring them to a competitive marketplace and start anew."

Christie called the Daily News story “totally incorrect” and said the following: “After considering the other options that I have been presented with for post-gubernatorial employment, I declined their request to do additional shows. I made station executives aware that while I would be happy to continue to fill in for Boomer when asked and when available, that they should no longer consider me as a candidate interested in any job at WFAN when I leave the governorship.

"text": "\"Indians sell regional TV network Dec 28, 2012Associated Press Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians sold their regional TV sports network and telecast rights for Indians baseball games to Fox Sports Media Group, in a deal announced Friday. Fox Sports Media Group said it will have the exclusive long-term local telecast rights for the Indians. While no financial terms were released, The Plain Dealer reported that Fox Sports is paying an estimated $230 million for Sports Time Ohio and $400 million over 10 years to broadcast the games. Since the 2006 season, the team's games have been on Sports Time Ohio, a Cleveland-based regional sports network created by Indians owners Paul and Larry Dolan. The Dolans had hoped that owning their own network would give the team more revenue and allow them to control programming much like the New York Yankees ' YES Network and the Boston Red Sox 's New England Sports Network. Paul Dolan said in a statement Friday that the sale of Sports Time Ohio will strengthen the franchise and help its ability to build competitive teams. Fox Sports Media Group, which is owned by News Corp., already owns 20 U. S. regional sports networks. News Corp. in November said it was acquiring a 49 percent stake in the Yankees' YES Network. The addition of rights to Indians games gives Fox Sports Ohio adds to its lineup of the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Cavaliers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Crew, Xavier Musketeers, and Cincinnati Bearcats. Sports Time Ohio also has carried Mid-American Conference football and basketball and high school sports."

Fox Sports Ohio CLEVELAND, Ohio -- New faces on the Indians roster aren't the only changes fans will notice this season while watching games on television. Fox Sports acquired Sports Time Ohio in December for an estimated $230 million. For fans watching Indians games, it means a few differences, executives with Fox Sports Ohio told The Plain Dealer on Friday. Fox Sports images that fans are used to seeing in national coverage -- like the Super Bowl, NASCAR and Major League Baseball -- will be part of Indians' telecasts. That means starting Sunday, the familiar Fox shield along with the ubiquitous triumphant musical sounds will be used. It all means local fans will gain the look and feel of Fox Sports' national coverage, said Alex Slemc, director of marketing and communication for Fox Sports Ohio. The key was keeping the Sports Time Ohio name while boosting it with the \"\"national cache\"\" of Fox Sports, said Francois Mc Gillicuddy, senior vice president and general manager of Fox Sports Ohio and Sports Time Ohio. \"\" It became clear to us that rather than doing a complete makeover we wanted to keep the Sports Time Ohio name and incorporate Fox Sports logos,\"\" he said. Other aspects of coverage are remaining."

"title": "http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Francisco\nLast name: Francisco",
"text": "\"Last name: Francisco SDB Popularity ranking: 3731This is a surname of Roman-Latin origins. It derives from Franciscus, which was originally both an ethnic name used to describe a \"\"Frank\"\", later to be known as a Frenchman, and a personal name of the 5th century a.d., which means \"\"a free man\"\". In the latter days of the Roman Empire, the Romans were permanently at war with the Franks, so it may be that the name was used as a derogatory term by the Romans, for somebody who claimed to be a free man. Be that as it may, the later surname, which dated from the 12th century, became hugely popular world wide, there being over two hundred spellings! These range from the relatively obvious English spelling of Francis, the French Francois and Frances, the Spanish and the Italian Francisco and Francie. However when we come to diminutives the etymology is less easy to follow with examples such as the Iberian Pacheco, Pachon and Pachu (Spain & Portugal), the almost as exrtaordinary Italian diminutives of Cicco, Giotto, and Sciuscietta, the nickname forms of Scotti, Ciccolini and Zecchi, and patronymics such as Francesconi (Italy), Franssen (Germany), Franson (England), and the Polish Franciskiewicz . The popularity of \"\"Franciscus\"\" it is said, was due in large measure to the fame of St. Francis of Assisi (1187 - 1226), however the name was also associated with the Knight Templars (Crusaders) of the 12th century. The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Hugo Francus, which was dated 1135, in the register of Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, England,during the reign of King Henry 1, known as \"\"The Lion of Justice\"\", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation."

Norton Norton is a surname with origin from the basic Early English Nor + tun, meaning North settlement (cf Weston, Sutton and Easton for other surnames derived from points of the compass). There are many English villages called Norton or including Norton as part of the name, e.g. Midsomer Norton, Chipping Norton, Brize Norton etc. When surnames started to be used in the Middle Ages, a man from such a village might have the name added e.g. Tom of Norton. Alternatively a man from the north side of any village might be given the name Tom Norton to distinguish him from a Tom from the south side (Tom Sutton). A secondary source for the surname is from the anglicisation of Celtic (Irish and Scottish Gaelic) surnames (e.g. Naughtan). To confuse the situation further it is also sometimes found as a Jewish surname (probably from the anglicisation of the German surname Norden). The famous \"\"Emperor Norton\"\" in San Francisco was of Jewish origin from a South African settler family.

Sancho Name Meaning and History Spanish and Portuguese: from Sancho, a popular medieval personal name, which is probably from a Latin form, Sanc (t)ius, a derivative of sanctus ‘holy’. The personal name was borne by a 9th-century martyr of Cordova. http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Sancho-fam... Surname: Sanchez This famous Spanish and Portuguese surname is recorded in many forms including Sancho, Sanchez, Sans, and the Italian Sanzio. However spelt it is both religious and baptismal in original, the derivation being from the Roman (Latin) 'sanctus' meaning blameless, holy, and later saintly, a meaning which no doubt greatly contributed to its popularity both as a given name and later a surname. The name was also given further impetus by a 9th century martyr from Cordova, who seems to be have been confusingly known as 'Sanctus, the Sanctus'. Even without the strong religious element, Spain was a province of the Roman Empire for several centuries, and many Spanish and Portuguese names owe their existence to this period, of which this is one. Early examples of the surname recordings taken from authentic civil and church registers include Catarina Sanchez, born at Sevilla, Spain, on November 23rd 1520, and Bartolome Sanches, christened at Villapalacio, San Sebastian, Spain, on June 27th 1588. In California Maria Ramona Sanchez was born at Mission San Francisco on August 22nd 1782, whilst on April 14th 1872, Tomas Sanchez was christened at the Plaza Church, Los Angeles.

Although people were originally known only by a single name, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they were characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most traditional type of family name found in the region of Sicily is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, local surnames are also found. Local names, which are the least frequent of the major types of surnames found in Italy, are derived from a place-name where the original bearer once resided or held land. Often Italian local surnames bore the prefix \"\"di,\"\" which signifies emigration from one place to another, and does not necessarily denote nobility. The Messina family lived in the Italian province and town of the same name. The city of Messina is situated in northeast Sicily on the homonymous strait which is the channel separating the Italian peninsula from the island of Sicily. Early Origins of the Messina family The surname Messina was first found in Messina (Sicilian: Missina; Latin: Messana), capital of the Italian province of Messina."

Roger Taylor, a young mental disorders student, auditioned and owing to the lack of any competing candidates, got the job. The group called themselves Grimace.

In the video, Malek enters the stage which is set up to be a picture-perfect recreation of what it looked like in 1985. You can tell he’s been training hard for the role, throwing out some air punches to the imaginary crowd and doing a damn fine job of embodying Mercury and his signature stage presence. Then he takes a seat at the piano and pretends to play/sing “Bohemian Rhapsody. ”Earlier this month, we got our first official look at Malek as Mercury, and other than a notable lack of chest fuzz, it’s nice to see him in action.

This list includes famous people you didn't know were using fake stage names, including those who go by their middle names and celebrities who used variations of family names. A number of people on this list changed their names to avoid confusion with other actors. For example, the Batman you know as Michael Keaton was born Michael John Douglas - not to be confused with Michael Kirk Douglas (whose own father, Kirk Douglas, was born Issur Danielovitch). Other celebrities changed their names to protect their privacy. Natalie Hershlag was a famous child actress, but you have always known her as Natalie Portman. Some celebrities who use pseudonyms changed their names themselves just because they sounded better. This list of famous stage names includes celebrities who go by nicknames and famous people who have changed their names. It does not, however, include female celebrities who use their married surnames professionally, famous people who were adopted by stepparents at a young age and had their names legally changed as children, or celebrities with obviously theatrical stage names, such as many wrestlers and eponymous artists."

It was recorded at Trident Studios and De Lane Lea Music Centre, London, with production by Roy Thomas Baker, John Anthony and Queen. The album was influenced by contemporary progressive rock and heavy metal music. The lyrics are based on a varierty of topics, including folklore (\"\"My Fairy King\"\") and religion (\"\"Jesus\"\"). Lead singer Freddie Mercury composed five of the ten tracks, guitarist Brian May composed four songs, (including \"\"Doing All Right\"\", he co-wrote with then Smile bandmate Tim Staffell ), and drummer Roger Taylor, who both composed and sang \"\"Modern Times Rock and Roll\"\".

Taking advantage of the opportunity, they put together a polished demo tape of five songs: \"\"Keep Yourself Alive\"\", \"\"The Night Comes Down\"\", \"\"Great King Rat\"\", \"\"Jesus\"\", and \"\"Liar\"\". Despite the demo tape's quality, the band received only one offer from a record company – a low bid from Chrysalis Records, which they used to try to entice other companies. They were finally given a break and signed in 1972 by Barry and Norman Sheffield, who ran the successful Trident Studios; however, because the studio was very popular, Queen mainly recorded during the studio's downtime but were given free use of everything after the paying artists had left; including the latest technologies and production team.

He was 58. The cause of the death was not immediately known, but a field examiner with the state Office of the Medical Investigator determined there was no foul play. Sahm, who first became famous in the 1960s with the Sir Douglas Quintet, found a new career 25 years later with Freddy Fender and the Texas Tornados. The master of many different musical styles - from rock, country and blues to Tex-Mex - he began his career as a child, playing in a local band and singing on the radio at age 5. By age 8 he was a regular on the ``Louisiana Hayride'' radio show. By 11, he sang at a Hank Williams concert in Austin only weeks before Williams died. As a teen-ager he started his recording career in 1955 with a single called \"\"A Real American Joe'' under the name \"\"Little'' Doug Sahm.

In the studio, they still maintain the talent to hang with the best of them. Brian was the guy who walked in, read the music, played it amazingly (with a bit of improv here and there, almost all of which was kept), and then hung with Freddie outside the recording room. Freddie was the guy who insisted that he had assistants with notepads on hand at all times, in case inspiration for a song struck.

In the Beginning In 1968, Astronomy student and guitarist Brian May (b. 19 July 1947, Hampton, Middlesex, England) and bass player Tim Staffell, both students at Imperial College, decided they wanted to form a group. Brian placed an advertisement on the college notice board for a “Ginger Baker type” drummer, and a young dental student called Roger Taylor (b. Roger Meddows-Taylor, 26 July 1949, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England) auditioned and got the job. They called the group “ Smile ”. Smile were signed to Mercury Records in 1969, and had their first experience recording at Trident Studios that year. Tim Staffell was at Ealing College of Art with Freddie Mercury (then Freddie Bulsara) (b. Farrokh Bulsara, 5 September 1946, Zanzibar, Africa, d. 24 November 1991, London, England), and introduced him to the band. Freddie soon became a keen fan. Sadly, in 1970, “ Smile ” decided to call it a day, as nothing seemed to be happening for them. Tim went off and joined a band called Humpty Bong (featuring former Bee Gees drummer Colin Petersen). Freddie left his band “ Wreckage ” and joined up with Brian and Roger - it had all begun."

Rami Malek is well aware of that fact. “When you’re able to open your eyes and see a different person staring back at you in the mirror,” Malek says, recalling his first time in hair and makeup, “it’s a very affirming moment. ”The Mr. Robot star is preparing to play Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody (out Dec. 25, 2018), the Bryan Singer-directed film that chronicles Queen from 1970, when Mercury teamed with Brian May and Roger Taylor, until the band’s performance at Live Aid in 1985, six years before the singer died of complications from AIDS. Malek channels Mercury’s look from that global-concert event. Resembling the legendary musician, he says, “only adds to the level of confidence that one would need to play Freddie Mercury. ”Nick Delaney/Fox The other part of that equation is — of course — that voice. Parts of the movie that feature singing will utilize either Malek’s own voice or recordings of Mercury, with a sound alike filling in the gaps. “We’re going to use Freddie as much as possible and use myself as much as possible,” Malek says. “I’m in Abbey Road [Studios] right now if that should say anything to you."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Free recall is a basic paradigm in the psychological study of memory. In this paradigm, participants study a list of items on each trial, and then are prompted to recall the items in any order (hence the name \"\"free\"\" recall). Items are usually presented one at a time for a short duration, and can be any of a number of nameable materials, although traditionally, words from a larger set are chosen. The recall period typically lasts a few minutes, and can involve spoken or written recall. The standard paradigm involves the recall period starting immediately after the final list item; this can be referred to as immediate free recall (IFR) to distinguish it from delayed free recall (DFR). In delayed free recall, a short distraction period is interpolated between the final list item and the start of the recall period. Both immediate free recall and delayed free recall have been used to test certain effects that appear during recall tests, such as the primacy effect and recency effect. Free recall consists of two stages: the emptying of a limited capacity working memory and a reactivation stage. [ 1]Contents1 Methodology used in measuring performance2 Serial recall paradigm3 Subjective organization4 Understanding of neurological processes5 References Methodology used in measuring performance [ edit]One of the basic measures of performance in the free recall paradigm is simply the number of words recalled from a list, which varies with a number of factors, including the list length, the type of material studied, and any task used to process the words (e.g., a simple judgement). When one examines the probability of recall by the position of the item in the list (its serial position), one finds that the initial and terminal items in the list are better remembered than those in the middle (also known as the primacy and recency items, respectively)."

"text": "Would you infer from a label reading ‘vegan’ that the food within was dairy / milk free – and indeed egg free and fish free? What about if the product was additionally registered with the Vegan Society, and bore its trademark logo? If, like many with allergies and intolerances to animal ingredients, you would – you’d be forgiven for thinking so. Yet this may not be the case. “The Vegan Society does not claim trademarked products are suitable for people with allergies such as dairy allergy,” says the Society’s Jimmy Pierce. “ That will depend on the standards achieved by individual manufacturers. ”He adds: “While The Vegan Society requires manufacturers to do all they can to minimise cross-contamination, we accept some trademarked products may carry warning labels such as ‘may contain milk’ because this refers to accidental low-level cross-contamination. Even after thorough cleaning some cross-contamination may occur on production lines that are not dedicated to vegan products. Low levels of dairy contamination are likely if a vegan chocolate is manufactured after a milk chocolate, for example. ”Very few chocolate manufacturers have dedicated milk-free lines on which to produce their dark chocolate lines, for example, and therefore not surprisingly many of their products carry dairy allergen warnings."

Related to Psychogenic amnesia: psychogenic fugue, retrograde amnesia, multiple personality disorder, anterograde amnesia Amnesia Definition Amnesia refers to the loss of memory. Memory loss may result from two-sided (bilateral)damage to parts of the brain vital for memory storage, processing, or recall (the limbic system,including the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe). Description Amnesia can be a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases; however, people whoseprimary symptom is memory loss (amnesiacs), typically remain lucid and retain their sense of self. They may even be aware that they suffer from a memory disorder. People who experience amnesia have been instrumental in helping brain researchers determinehow the brain processes memory. Until the early 1970s, researchers viewed memory as a singleentity. Memory of new experiences, motor skills, past events, and previous conditioning weregrouped together in one system that relied on a specific area of the brain. If all memory were stored in the same way, it would be reasonable to deduce that damage to thespecific brain area would cause complete memory loss."

There are no binary codes or bit-byte arrangements of data in human brain. Just like human intelligence or brain consciousness, the exact details about data storage in brain are not yet fully understood, but there are some theories which are agreed by most of the scientists. Data (i.e. memory) is stored in form of release and uptake of neurotransmitters within the brain. These are chemical messengers which transmit signals from one neuron (nerve cell) to another target neuron. There is bidirectional communication taking place between neurons and astrocytes. These neuron-neuron, astrocyte-astrocyte & neuron-astrocyte communications are regulated by neurotransmitters such as glutamate, ATP, GABA etc."

Schunk (1996) offers the following helpful summary/definition: Information processing theories focus on how people:attend to environmental events,encode information to be learned and relate it to knowledge in memory,store new knowledge in memory, andretrieve it as needed.

A new study suggests social competition could be behind the increase in brain size. Credit: NIH, NIDAFor us to recall events, facts or processes, we have to commit them to memory. The process of forming a memory involves encoding, storing, retaining and subsequently recalling information and past experiences. Cognitive psychologist Margaret W. Matlin has described memory as the “process of retaining information over time.” Others have defined it as the ability to use our past experiences to determine our future path. When they are asked to define memory, most people think of studying for a test or recalling where we put the car keys. However, memory is essential in our everyday lives. We would not be able to function in the present or move forward without relying on our memory. How we form memories The process of encoding a memory begins when we are born and occurs continuously."

In an experiment that paired such famous faces as Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Clint Eastwood with equally famous locations (the White House, the Hollywood sign, etc), researchers proved that single neurons in the medial temporal lobe (the area of your brain critical to the formation of long-term memory) quickly alter their firing pattern at precisely the instant you learn a new association between a person and a place. More than that, specific neurons are designed solely to encode the conceptual elements of a face versus actual features. This research definitively illuminates how the brain contextualizes the people it sees. While scientists don’t know how to fully identify the basic neural code underlying a memory, Fried and his colleagues’ and similar findings may help advance the field of neuroprosthetics: brain-implanted hardware and software aimed at increasing memory function of patients suffering traumatic brain injury. The field of memory is becoming very high-tech. While future technology may be neither appropriate nor accessible to those of us just trying to remember facts we read in an article (one of my personal failures), there are many daily processes we can practice to improve both memory and the activity that gives it a big boost: concentration. How memory happens Memory creation happens in an instant. Signals sent in particular patterns associated with specific experiences create connections between brain structures that encode information."

Polycythemia is a blood disorder in which the body produces too many blood cells as a result of a problem with the bone marrow or an increased production of the hormone erythropoietin. Learn about the causes of polycythemia. Polycythemia If you are even a casual fan of professional sports, you have probably heard about an athlete who was fined or kicked out of their sport due to blood doping. When an athlete 'dopes' their blood, what they are really doing is injecting themselves with extra blood or a substance that increases the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in their body. With more oxygen comes more endurance and an unfair edge over their competition. From a health standpoint, this is not such a great idea because the athlete is actually creating a blood condition known as polycythemia, which is a blood disorder in which there are too many red blood cells. These extra cells thicken the blood, making a person more prone to blood clots, which in turn heightens their risk of heart attack or stroke. While blood doping is a deliberate act, there are other causes of polycythemia that are due to underlying conditions or factors. These causes will be the focus of this lesson."

"text": "\"MEMORY RECALL/RETRIEVAL??? Did You Know ??? Memory recall appears to be state-dependent, at least to some extent. Studies have shown that, when material is learned under the influence of a drug or alcohol, for example, it is subsequently recalled better when in the same drug state than when sober. Similarly, individuals tend to retrieve information more easily when it has the same emotional content as their current emotional state, and when the emotional state at the time of retrieval is similar to the emotional state at the time of encoding. Recall or retrieval of memory refers to the subsequent re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously encoded and stored in the brain. In common parlance, it is known as remembering. During recall, the brain \"\"replays\"\" a pattern of neural activity that was originally generated in response to a particular event, echoing the brain 's perception of the real event. In fact, there is no real solid distinction between the act of remembering and the act of thinking. These replays are not quite identical to the original, though - otherwise we would not know the difference between the genuine experience and the memory - but are mixed with an awareness of the current situation."

Working memory splits primary memory into multiple components, rather than considering it to be a single, unified construct. [ 1]Baddeley & Hitch proposed their three part working memory model as an alternative to the short-term store in Atkinson & Shiffrin's 'multi-store' memory model (1968). This model is later expanded upon by Baddeley and other co-workers to add a fourth component, and has become the dominant view in the field of working memory. However, alternative models are developing (see working memory) providing a different perspective on the working memory system. The original model of Baddeley & Hitch was composed of three main components; the central executive which acts as supervisory system and controls the flow of information from and to its slave systems: the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. The phonological loop stores verbal content, whereas the visuo-spatial sketchpad caters to visuo-spatial data. Both the slave systems only function as short-term storage centers. In 2000 Baddeley added a third slave system to his model, the episodic buffer. Baddeley & Hitch's argument for the distinction of two domain-specific slave systems in the older model was derived from experimental findings with dual-task paradigms."

"text": "How to Turn Off Phone Calls on the i Phone but Keep Data & i Message May 8, 2013 - 23 Comments Ever wished you could turn off the phone call portion of your i Phone, while still retaining the ability to use data, access the internet, even send i Messages? You can do that with a funky workaround we’ll cover here, and it’s an amazing solution if you’re looking for some peace and quiet but in a situation where you still need to use your i Phones data connection and internet access. The other benefit? You can still make outbound phone calls, you just won’t receive any phone calls back to the i Phone itself. There’s no way to directly turn off just the phone portion of an i Phone, so instead we’ll use an alternate method to get the job done. This utilizes call forwarding to automatically send all incoming calls to either a nonexistent number (bringing total isolation, your phone will appear as if it has been turned off or is no longer accepting calls), or send all calls automatically to voicemail (this is better, because people can still leave you voicemail and you can still check them to see if it’s important). Maintaining cellular data usage is why this trick differs from just toggling Air Plane Mode, which turns off internet functionality and basically makes an i Phone into an i Pod touch that is unable to reach the outside world at all. Do Not Disturb is different too, because although data usage remains intact, Do Not Disturb basically just mutes the phone and doesn’t actually prevent inbound calls from coming through to the phone, they are just silenced when the feature is on.1a: Find the Voice Mail Number Each mobile phone number has an entirely separate unique phone number specifically for voice mail, that is what we’re going to retrieve here: Open the phone app on the i Phone and dial *#67# then hit Call Ignore all the “Setting Interrogation Succeeded Voice Call Forwarding” stuff and just pay attention to the number following “Forwards to” – this is the voice mail number Jot the voice mail number down somewhere you can easily retreive it, or take a screenshot (Power+Home button concurrently)This is what this two-step process will look like, the resulting voice mail number has been blurred out for obvious reasons: Or you can go the alternate route and find a number that isn’t real or is out of service.1b: Alternatively, Find a Non-Existent Phone Number Would you rather your i Phone sound as if it’s been disconnected or is no longer accepting calls? That’s easy, you just need to locate a phone number that doesn’t actually exist. Typically, any random area code followed by 555-5555 works, but you’ll want to call the number yourself first to be sure it’s not actually a real number."

"text": "By Joseph Hanlon Whistle Out09 February 2018Changing your mobile phone provider can seem like a daunting proposition. We often get asked about how long it takes, whether you can keep your number, and when exactly your number changes hands. If you're here, you're probably looking for a new mobile plan. So, if you've got concerns about taking your number with you when switching telcos, read on. Can I keep my phone number? Transferring your phone number between telcos used to be harder than it is now. Instead of letting you keep your digits no matter what, providers instead would use the prospect of having to leave your number behind to keep customers locked in to their current plan. However, times have changed, and it's now very easy to change mobile providers in Australia. Thanks to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), there are even laws that protect your right to switch and keep your number. Although your phone number is held by your carrier, the new-ish rules mean that your telco must relinquish your number and transfer it to a new service upon request."

"text": "Answer by Cheapphoneman Confidence votes 1.4KThis is my answer... Yes you can switch carriers and keep your no. if you give the provider you're switching to your PAC code to get this simply contact your current carrier!!! ( That's the story here in Britain anyway) Now look at the previous answer... If you needed to do this before 2004 then the answer would have been �no� but as of May 24, 2004 this has become a possibility. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has passed a mandate which requires all cell phone carriers to allow Wireless Local Number Portability, which essentially is a service whereby cell phone users get to keep their existing cell phone numbers while switching to another service provider. Earlier when cell phone users wanted to change their carrier, just the thought of giving the new cell phone number to all their family and acquaintances was enough to dissuade them from doing so, even if they were unhappy with the services of their existing carrier. But with the Number Portability rule coming into effect, service providers are now obligated to let subscribers leave with their cell phone numbers thus making it possible to switch to new carriers (which was also possible before Number Portability provided a user did not mind changing his cell phone number). Number Portability has come as a boon for people who wanted to change their cell phone carriers for various reasons such as lower rates, better coverage area of the new carrier, and unsatisfactory service provided by their existing carrier. On the flip side, it is definitely not good news for service providers as it has increased competition in an already heavily competitive market. Now they not only have to come up with new ways to attract customers, but also have to worry about keeping the existing ones. Alarmed by this scenario, companies are starting to adjust and alter their ways of conducting business."

With LNP, you will be able to keep the same phone number when switching between wireless carriers or between wireless and landline carriers. You will only be able to transfer your phone number to another carrier within your local market. The Federal Communications Commission has issued rules mandating that carriers are required to implement LNP starting November 24, 2003, in the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA.)Q. How do I go about transferring my telephone number/line? A. To transfer your number from your Old Service Provider to NET10 Wireless, you must ask NET10 Wireless to Port your existing telephone number. NET10 Wireless will process the request for you. During this process, your service with your current provider will be disconnected automatically and activated with the new provider you have selected. There is no need for you to call your current provider to disconnect your service. During the request process, you will still be able to place calls on your existing wireless telephone or wire line phone. You, however, will not be able to receive calls during the porting process."

And when it comes to cell phone taxes, the fees just keep climbing. Most wireless subscribers are annoyed by the extra taxes and fees slapped onto their monthly wireless bills. But few likely realize how different the rates can be based upon where they live. Not only can states impose taxes on wireless service, but so can local governments. And many do. In this edition of Ask Maggie, I explain how simply moving to a new part of the country can lower a subscriber's cell phone tax rate, even if he doesn't change his cell phone number. I also explain why taking over someone else's contract to avoid an early termination fee may be more trouble than it's worth."

"text": "\"Hi Angie, Freezing water is an example of a phase transition -- a change in the physical properties of a substance when the temperature or pressure are changed. Phase transitions are often accompanied by either the absorption or release of thermal energy. Water molecules have electric dipole moments -- the oxygen atoms are more negatively charged than the hydrogen atoms, and the molecule is in a bent shape, with hydrogen atoms not quite on opposite sides of the oxygen. This means that water molecules strongly attract each other electrostatically (opposite charges attract each other). If there isn't too much random motion of the molecules (that is, the water isn't too hot), then the molecules prefer to line up in an orderly fashion, with the positively-charged part of one molecule next to the negatively-charged part of another molecule and so on, held together in a rigid crystal. If the molecules have more thermal energy, they shake around and break free of their neighbors. They still like to stick to one another, but because they are moving so much, they constantly change their neighbors and bounce off of each other. This is the liquid phase. Ice is actually less symmetrical than liquid water. In the liquid state, all directions appear the same, and all places in the liquid have the same properties as all others."

Top 10 freezing tips Whether you have a chest or upright freezer, the principles of successful freezing are the same.1. Cool foods before you freeze them. Freezing food when hot will only increase the temperature of the freezer and could cause other foods to start defrosting.2. Only refreeze food if you're cooking it in between. When food is thawed bacteria can mulitply quickly, particularly at room temperature. If you pop it in the freezer, the bacteria survives and are more likely to reach harmful levels on second thawing. However if you cook the food in between eg thawing beef mince, turning it into bolognese and then refreezing, it's not a problem as the bacteria will have been killed off in the cooking process.3. A full freezer is more economical to run as the cold air doesn't need to circulate so much, so less power is needed. If you have lots of space free, fill plastic bottles half full with water and use them to fill gaps."

Discover more Excel training at Linked In Learning Freezing panes versus splitting panes When you freeze panes, Microsoft Excel keeps specific rows or columns visible when you scroll in the worksheet. For example, if the first row in your spreadsheet contains headers, you might freeze that row to make sure that the column headers remain visible as you scroll down in your spreadsheet. A solid line under row 1 indicates that the row is frozen to keep column headers in place when you scroll. Splitting panes is a variation on freezing panes, in that when you split panes, Excel creates either two or four separate worksheet areas that you can scroll within, while rows or columns in the non-scrolled area remain visible. For more information, see Split panes to lock rows or columns in separate worksheet areas. Note: You cannot freeze panes and split panes at the same time. You can enable only one of the two.

I planned on four years of college (three if I took classes through summer) followed immediately by three years of law school. It takes seven years to make partner at most firms which meant, I figured, that I could, by my early thirties, be a tax partner at a large firm, married to a doctor (no lawyers!) and on my way to thinking about having two kids, ideally, one right after the other (having kids before making partner would just complicate things). But then life happened. I worked summers through college in order to pay bills so there was no time to pick up extra classes. I stayed home for a year after graduation to be with my mom (I was still working) while my dad was overseas. I decided that I actually really liked the law – especially tax law – and decided to get an additional degree. I didn’t like working at a large firm and had no desire to become partner. More importantly, I met a guy – a lawyer, no less – that I decided might be the one."

"text": "Most recent answer: 05/16/2013Q: I wanted to know if you can give a physical example of how freezing water is exothermic because it is hard to see how it releases energy when you cant see gases release or anything of the such happen when water freezes. I just want an example of how it can be witnessed with the naked eye how water is exothermic when it freezes. - John (age 17) california A: Well, it’s a little easier going the other way. Melting ice is endothermic -- you can see this by putting a thermometer in a glass of warm water, adding an ice cube, and watching the temperature go down as the ice melts. The melting process needs heat to proceed and takes it from the warm water. Going the other way: your refrigerator makes ice by cooling the water off. The heat gets transferred to the environment by air flowing past the coils in the coolant loop after the compressor, usually located in the back of your refrigerator. The heat dissipated in these coils is the sum of quite a few sources -- heat leakage from the outside into the refrigerator, and energy expended by the compressor. You can also freeze pure water by putting it into a vacuum. Water will boil when the vapor pressure exceeds the ambient pressure, and in a vacuum, this is the case at all temperatures for which the water is liquid."

"text": "\"Colligative Properties Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Fedor Kondratenko Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the number of dissolved particles in solution, but not on the identities of the solutes. For example, the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of pure water, due to the presence of the salt dissolved in the water. To a good approximation, it does not matter whether the salt dissolved in water is sodium chloride or potassium nitrate; if the molar amounts of solute are the same and the number of ions are the same, the freezing points will be the same. For example, Al Cl 3 and K 3 PO 4 would exhibit essentially the same colligative properties, since each compound dissolves to produce four ions per formula unit. The four commonly studied colligative properties are freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure. Since these properties yield information on the number of solute particles in solution, one can use them to obtain the molecular weight of the solute. Freezing Point Depression The presence of a solute lowers the freezing point of a solution relative to that of the pure solvent. For example, pure water freezes at 0°C (32°F); if one dissolves 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of sodium chloride (table salt) in 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of water, the freezing point goes down to −5.9°C (21.4°F). If one uses sucrose (table sugar) instead of sodium chloride, 10 grams (0.35 ounces) in 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of water gives a solution with a freezing point of −0.56°C (31°F). The reason that the salt solution has a lower freezing point than the sugar solution is that there are more particles in 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of sodium chloride than in 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of sucrose."

"text": "Components of a Solution Solutions are a type of homogeneous mixture in which one or materials (the solute) are dissolved in another material (the solvent). Solutions are most often composed of solid and/or gas solutes and a liquid solvent. When a solution is made of two or more liquids, it is not feasible to identify a solute and solvent. In this situation, liquids are said to be miscible (they dissolve in one another) or immiscible. Oil and vinegar provide an example of two liquids that are immiscible because they do not dissolve in one another. Concentration - Molarity Quantitatively, concentration is important for determining the relative amount of solute dissolved per unit of solution. There are many units used for measuring the concentration of a solution. Molarity measures the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution. It is important for stoichiometric calculations as it is one of the few units that quantifies moles of solute, and the only unit that does so in terms of the volume of solution. The formula used for calculating molarity is given below."

Baby food cubes are safe to remain in the freezer from 3 to 6 months. Using baby food cubes within 1 month to 3 months is really more prudent. Due to the amount of water crystals that tend to build up with baby food purees, and due to the fact that nutrients may leach/evaporate upon thawing because of the water crystals, it is more prudent to use your frozen baby foods cubes as soon as possible – 3 months of storage tops. We always recommend using within 1 month if at all possible. Many authoritative guidelines will say that most fruits and veggies will keep from 8 to 12 months in the freezer. This is mostly true of foods that are frozen in their natural state. This is also assuming that the freezer remains at a constant sub-zero temperature."

The magnitude of the decrease of freezing point depends on the concentration of the dissolved substance and on the cryoscopic constant, which is a unique characteristic of each solvent. As an example, calculate the freezing point of the solution obtained by dissolving 15 g of sodium chloride (Na Cl) in 100 g of water. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Things You'll Need: Calculator1. 1 Calculate the molar mass of the dissolved compound. Molar mass is calculated as the sum of mass of all atoms in the molecule. Atomic weights of corresponding elements are given in the periodic table of the chemical elements. In our example it would be: Molar mass (Na Cl)=M (Na)+M (Cl)=23+35.5=58.5 g/mole. 2. 2 Divide the mass of the dissolved compound by its molar mass to calculate its amount in moles."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Chemistry Elements and Compounds Noble Gases Argon What is the freezing point of saltwater? Flag What is the freezing point of saltwater? Answer by Garethfx Confidence votes 33.9KThe freezing point of salt water varies depending on how much salt is in the water. For example, water that is 3500 parts per million salt (avg. amount in seawater) will freeze around -2 degrees Celsius (28 degrees F). Water with an extreme amount of salt in it, like in some lake waters in Death Valley CA, with 300,000 ppm, will freeze at -20 to -30 degrees C (-4 to -20 degrees F). The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature named for the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686 - 1736). In the Fahrenheit scale of temperature the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart. Zero degrees Fahrenheit indicates the lowest temperature Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt. That depends on a number of factors including the concentration of salt in the water and the type of salt in the solution."

Winter brings the most picturesque scenes: families playing in the snow, friends around the fireplace and ski trips, but it also brings a rise in weather related problems. Of these, ice and its removal are among the most critical. Unfortunately, there are a small percentage of those who crack their ice dilemma only to face another problem when spring arrives; damaged concrete. There is much confusion surrounding this damage which is mostly caused by the freeze/thaw cycle. Too often people attribute concrete damage to the ice melter that was used. It is the purpose of this bulletin to help you better understand: the types of damage that happens to concrete, what causes them, and how to repair and prevent further damage. Chemical Damage According to the American Concrete Institute (ACI), which is a leading United States concrete authority that sets many of the guidelines and standards that are used today in the designing, planning, construction and inspection of concrete structures, there are several chemicals, some of which are used in ice melter formulas that actually attack concrete, and are best avoided. They are:* Aluminum Chloride * Ammonium Nitrate* Ammonium Sulfate * Ammonium Chloride* Calcium Sulfate * Magnesium Sulfate* Magnesium Chloride * Sodium Cyanide Freeze/Thaw Cycle Damage By far the most risk of damage to your concrete during the winter months is attributed to the freeze/thaw cycle. To put this in sample terms, it is the build up of water [melted ice] being absorbed into the porous concrete, which then freezes and expands."

"text": "\"13.5 Colligative Properties of Solutions Learning Objective To describe the relationship between solute concentration and the physical properties of a solution. Many of the physical properties of solutions differ significantly from those of the pure substances discussed in earlier chapters, and these differences have important consequences. For example, the limited temperature range of liquid water (0°C–100°C) severely limits its use. Aqueous solutions have both a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than pure water. Probably one of the most familiar applications of this phenomenon is the addition of ethylene glycol (“antifreeze”) to the water in an automobile radiator. This solute lowers the freezing point of the water, preventing the engine from cracking in very cold weather from the expansion of pure water on freezing. Antifreeze also enables the cooling system to operate at temperatures greater than 100°C without generating enough pressure to explode. Changes in the freezing point and boiling point of a solution depend primarily on the number of solute particles present rather than the kind of particles. Such properties of solutions are called colligative properties (from the Latin colligatus, meaning “bound together” as in a quantity). As we will see, the vapor pressure and osmotic pressure of solutions are also colligative properties."

These properties apply to ideal solutions o with real solutions varying to different extents that can give rise to useful information concerning the solute-solute and solute- solvent interactions. The colligative properties of solutions d ideally depend on changes in the entropy of the solution on dissolving the solute, which is determined by the concentration of the solute molecules or ions but does not depend on their structure. The rationale for these colligative properties is the increase in entropy on mixing solutes with the water. This extra entropy provides extra energy available in the solution which has to be overcome when ice or water vapor (neither of which contains a non-volatile solute) b is formed. It is available to help break the bonds of the ice causing melting at a lower temperature and to reduce the entropy loss when water condenses, m so encouraging the condensation and reducing the vapor pressure. Put another way, the solute stabilizes the water in the solution relative to pure water. The entropy change reduces the chemical potential (μ w, J ·mol -1) a by -RTLn (x w) (that is, the negative energy term RTLn (x w) is added to the potential to get the potential of the solution; = + RTLn (x w )) where R is the molar gas constant, T is the temperature ( K) x w is the (dimensionless) mole fraction of the ‘free’ (bulk) water (0 < x w < 1) k .

Water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different. Examine this page on abstract for research paper. Let's start with the first. If you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but I recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).

Hot Caps To help prevent early plantings of warm-season vegetables such as cucumbers, zucchini squash, and fresh tomatoes from frost damage, individual plants of small acreage plantings are covered with \"\"hot\"\" caps made from wax paper. The cap has twofold purpose: first in raising the daytime temperature to get a faster growth response and second for some frost protection due to the heat it retains. It has been estimated that the cap gives an additional 2º F of protection to the plant growing underneath. Tomatoes Approximately 15,000 acres of fresh tomatoes and 110,000 acres of processing tomatoes are grown annually in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Fresno County leads the state in tomatto production. Tomato culture is similar for fresh and processed tomatoes, although varieties and harvest practices are distinctly different. Gondola of Green Tomatoes Fresh tomato harvest commences in early June and continues through November. Fresh tomatoes are hand haravested at a mature green stage, transported to a packing shed where they are washed, sorted, graded, boxed and exposed to ethylene (a natural ripening hormone found in many fruits such as tomato) to provide uniform ripening conditions. Processing Tomato Harvest Processing tomatoes are machine harvested when they are red ripe and trucked to the processing plant in large trucks and trailers."

Harry Cline | Nov 03, 2007There was a classified ad in the Fresno Bee recently under the heading “land for sale. ”The seller was offering 40 acres in the 600,000-acre Westlands Water District on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley. Westlands is the largest irrigation district in the nation; 40 acres is a postage stamp block in Westlands. Nevertheless, the ad soon disappeared, the land presumably snatched up by an eager buyer because the vast irrigation district and many more just like it in California are facing the biggest water crisis ever in the wake of a federal court ruling to protect Delta smelt. It could conceivably cut off the flow of water to Central and Southern California. The ruling could impact the water supplies for 25 million people and three million acres of farmland. Water has never been a more coveted commodity in California agriculture, as growers wait, hoping for a wet winter to offset the judicially-imposed drought. Even if it is a normal winter; it is possible that water will not flow south from the Delta to save schools of tiny minnows that have a lifespan of less than two years. The “land for sale” ad in the newspaper did not talk about land quality or crops it could grow."

Just to set the record straight, the Guinness World Record for the largest tomato ever grown was 7 pounds and 12 ounces and occurred in 1986.

Even if your goal is not to get into the record books, it is a fun garden endeavor to at least try and produce a brag-worthy sized tomato. In order to begin your quest of growing a monster tomato, you have to start with good genetics and select a breed of tomato that is known for bearing large fruit.

However, growing tomatoes can be difficult, as they're prone to disease and damage from inclement weather and are a popular target for predatory insects. Harvesting a healthy crop requires time, effort and a little bit of luck, but companion planting can help the process along. About Companion Planting Growing certain plants together for specific, beneficial purposes is known as companion planting. This approach to gardening allows you to grow stronger, healthier, tastier and pest-free plants naturally, without the need for chemical products. Companion planting is also a way to rid gardens of pests without killing helpful insects and bacteria in the process. Many herbs make helpful companion plants for tomatoes, but others, including fennel and mature dill, have negative effects, as do potatoes and cauliflower. Tomatoes, Chives and Garlic Tomatoes and chives make excellent companions for one another, according to Golden Harvest Organics, as these tiny onions serve multiple purposes in the garden.

"text": "\"U. S. Cities Deal With a Surge in Shantytowns By JESSE Mc KINLEY MARCH 25, 2009214An encampment of tents under an overpass in Fresno. Jim Wilson/The New York Times FRESNO, Calif. — As the operations manager of an outreach center for the homeless here, Paul Stack is used to seeing people down on their luck. What he had never seen before was people living in tents and lean-tos on the railroad lot across from the center. “They just popped up about 18 months ago,” Mr. Stack said. “ One day it was empty. The next day, there were people living there. ”Like a dozen or so other cities across the nation, Fresno is dealing with an unhappy déjà vu: the arrival of modern-day Hoovervilles, illegal encampments of homeless people that are reminiscent, on a far smaller scale, of Depression-era shantytowns. At his news conference on Tuesday night, President Obama was asked directly about the tent cities and responded by saying that it was “not acceptable for children and families to be without a roof over their heads in a country as wealthy as ours. ”While encampments and street living have always been a part of the landscape in big cities like Los Angeles and New York, these new tent cities have taken root — or grown from smaller enclaves of the homeless as more people lose jobs and housing — in such disparate places as Nashville, Olympia, Wash., and St. Petersburg, Fla. In Seattle, homeless residents in the city’s 100-person encampment call it Nickelsville, an unflattering reference to the mayor, Greg Nickels. A tent city in Sacramento prompted Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to announce a plan Wednesday to shift the entire 125-person encampment to a nearby fairground."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A winemaker running a paper chromatography test to determine whether a wine has completed malolactic fermentation Malolactic fermentation (also known as malolactic conversion or MLF) is a process in winemaking in which tart -tasting malic acid, naturally present in grape must, is converted to softer-tasting lactic acid. Malolactic fermentation is most often performed as a secondary fermentation shortly after the end of the primary fermentation, but can sometimes run concurrently with it. The process is standard for most red wine production and common for some white grape varieties such as Chardonnay, where it can impart a \"\"buttery\"\" flavor from diacetyl, a byproduct of the reaction. [ 1]The fermentation reaction is undertaken by the family of lactic acid bacteria (LAB); Oenococcus oeni, and various species of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. Chemically, malolactic fermentation is a decarboxylation, which means carbon dioxide is liberated in the process. [ 2] [3]The primary function of all these bacteria is to convert one of the two major grape acids found in wine called L-malic acid, to another type of acid, L+ lactic acid. This can occur naturally. However, in commercial winemaking, malolactic conversion typically is initiated by an inoculation of desirable bacteria, usually O. oeni. This prevents undesirable bacterial strains from producing \"\"off\"\" flavors. Conversely, commercial winemakers actively prevent malolactic conversion when it is not desired, such as with fruity and floral white grape varieties such as Riesling and Gewürztraminer, to maintain a more tart or acidic profile in the finished wine.

After the Dr. evaluated her stomach and ran urine tested, she checked for tenderness, she found the area that was causing my daughter the pain. The Dr. then asked about what my daughter ate on a regular basis as well as what she had had within the last few days. ( Keep in mind that we are pretty consistent with eating healthy and my daughter was having about 3 small bags of takis a month.) When my daughter told her she had takis, the Dr. warned her right away about the dangers of that product. The Dr. mentioned how she had a 16 month old patient in the hospital with throat cancer due to those chips! The toddles teeth failed to grow because even his gums were affected and now the toddler is at The Children’s Hospital in LA undergoing chemo. The Dr. also advised me NOT to allow my children to eat ANY of those hot chips."

Dysphagia is neither pain nor difficulty in swallowing but a feeling of gene progression food from the mouth to the stomach. The problem lies lower than the throat. This symptom does not include sore throat (caused by angina, cellulitis, ENT problems). This discomfort can be perceived as a real momentary blocking the progression of the bolus. Under the terms of this dysphagia, there are two origins:- Functional dysphagia, that is to say, a motor disorder of the esophagus or- Dysphagia organic, that is to say, due to an obstacle in the path of the bolus. Dysphagia test (img thanks to shangaylove.com)Dysphagia Sign The diagnosis made by the physician after further investigations will be guided by the installation methods of dysphagia:- Gradual or sudden;- Its intermittent or constant;- The foods concerned, solids or liquids (dysphagia for liquids is called dysphagia exclusively paradoxical);- The impact on the general condition;- The accompanying signs such as regurgitation, the “false paths” (ie, through swallowing), chest pain;- Field: age, lifestyle, history. Once oriented examination, the doctor may prescribe different complementary examinations including esophageal endoscopy, which allows to go directly if there is an obstacle or a lesion samples and practice. Dysphagia Causes There are two main types of dysphagia: dysphagia due to esophageal motility disorder (called functional dysphagia) and dysphagia or mechanical lesion in relation to an obstacle to the progress of the bolus."

"text": "Understanding Mechanical Soft Diets Long term disability is the most frequent post stroke complication. A little more than 50% of persons with stroke will experience permanent one-sided weakness or paralysis. This one-sided weakness or paralysis may not only affect your loved one’s arms and legs, but also could alter their ability to swallow. In people with stroke a common complication is poor nutrition due to limited intake of food, which can affect as many as 63% of stroke survivors. Some of this poor nutrition is caused by limited ability to swallow food, and many stroke survivors require special diets to prevent or reverse this deficit. WHAT IS DYSPHAGIA (Dis-FAY-juh)? Dysphagia is difficulty with swallowing. In the case of a loved one with a stroke, it was caused by the nerve and brain damage of the stroke. The damage may have also affected the ability to chew or move food around with the tongue. Signs of Dysphagia: Food or drink leaking from the mouth Gurgling voice after eating or drinking Coughing during or right after eating Extra effort or time needed to chew and swallow Frequent pneumonia, or chest congestion after eating Weight loss and dehydration."

Enjoying a good meal with friends and family is something that we may all take for granted. What should we do when something goes wrong with our once fast and well-coordinated swallow function? Read on to find out if you would benefit from a Swallow Study for Dysphagia. There are many types of swallowing problems or disorders (dysphagia), caused by many different issues. It can be a bit of a puzzle; therefore, itrequires different types of evaluations or swallow studies for dysphagia. Please speak with your physician and obtain a referral to a Speech-Language Pathologist. The goal is to make sure you enjoy a good meal!How will a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) perform a swallow study for dysphagia? Clinical Swallowing Evaluation (aka, Dysphagia Examination) (These evaluations typically happen at the hospital or in a rehabilitation facility. ) Your SLP will take time to listen to your symptoms and will ask many questions."

"text": "Winter 2011Dealing With Dysphagia By Maura Keller Aging Well Vol. 4 No. 1 P. 8As physicians working with older adults recognize, swallowing function can deteriorate with age. Older adults’ teeth are often weak or absent. The mucosal surfaces in the mouth and throat are less moist. There is a loss of muscle strength in the mouth and throat that slows swallowing and makes it difficult to swallow hard or dry solid foods. But it’s dysphagia, problems with neural control or structures in any part of the swallowing process, that often makes the eating process extremely challenging for older adults. Key Concerns Older patients’ proper nutritional intake is a key concern under normal circumstances. So when normal changes in swallowing are exacerbated by dysphagia, other concerns arise, including poor nutritional status and dehydration, loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss, less enjoyment in eating, and the possibility of food entering the airway and leading to aspiration pneumonia. “The more common causes of mild dysphagia are sensory or motor problems of the pharynx and esophagus,” says Chandra M. Ivey, MD, director of laryngology, voice, and swallowing disorders at Columbia Doctors Eastside in New York City. “"

"text": "Overview Gastrointestinal (GI) motililty refers to the movement of food from the mouth through the throat, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines and out of the body. The contraction of muscles in the intestinal tract propels food forward or aids in digestion by increasing the mixing of food. When the muscles contract in a sequential and synchronized fashion, they push food (usually) forward: an act known as peristalsis. Occasionally the muscles, by design and particularly in the stomach, contract more randomly, which aids in the mixing and breakdown of food. When the movement of food through the tract is impaired in some way, a gastroenterologist who specializes in gastrointestinal motility disorders can help. The Phelps Memorial Hospital Gastrointestinal Motility Center offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to evaluate accurately and to treat properly a broad range of gastrointestinal motility disorders. The Center’s physicians and nurses have specialized training in the full spectrum of motility disorders, and the team is dedicated to each patient’s well being. ( 914) 631-7727Phelps Gastrointestinal Motility Center Call of appointments and referrals Constipation Constipation is, strictly speaking, a symptom and not a disease. The definition of constipation is broad, but generally people in the United States have a bowel movement at least every three days.

"text": "Adapted from a presentation to the Myositis Support at Hospital for Special Surgery Jonathan Aviv, M. D. Clinical Director Voice and Swallowing Center, ENT and Allergy Associates Attending Physician and Clinical Professor, Department of Otolaryngology, Mount Sinai Medical Center This is a presentation titled “Treating Swallowing Problems in People with Myositis.” Discussed are: A definition of swallowing problems, or dysphagia Airway protection; food transport Signs and symptoms of swallowing issues Factors that can contribute to swallowing difficulties, including acid reflux disease Indications for office-based swallowing evaluations Diagnosis and treatment The definition of swallowing problems (dysphagia) is any complaint or difficulty swallowing, such as coughing, choking or difficulty in handling food or secretions. In his talk, Jonathan Aviv, MD, discussed the phases of swallowing: Oral (mouth), where food is taken in and transported Pharyngeal (involving the throat)Esophageal (involving the tube that transports food from the mouth, extending down behind the collarbone to the stomach)During normal swallowing, which takes one second, the tongue pushes food bolus (the shape of chewed food), toward the rear of the mouth. In the pharyngeal phase, the tongue, larynx and pharyngeal walls create forces that drive the food bolus into the esophagus. These activities require good muscle function, which is often lacking in myositis. The pharyngeal squeeze is a way to assess the throat muscles or pharyngeal muscles by either coughing or making a prolonged “EEEE” sound. ( 1)Owing to muscle weakness in people with myositis, swallowing can take five seconds or longer, and tongue propulsion in the oral phase and pharyngeal peristalsis (movement that pushes food through the digestive tract) can be impaired. This is the result of inflammation of the muscles, the defining characteristic of myositis. These problems can be compounded by the presence of reflux disease – a chronic condition in which the acidic contents of the stomach move back up the esophagus causing a range of symptoms, including inflammation. Evaluating Swallowing Difficulties Dr. Aviv stated that one of the areas commonly overlooked is that of airway protection."

"text": "A A AAchalasia Basics Achalasia is a functional disorder of the esophagus with impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and aperistalsis (=absence of motility) of the esophageal body. As a consequence the transport of food is incomplete or absent. In addition the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to open for emptying the food into the Stomach (greek achalasein = fails to relax). A functional outflow obstruction occurs. Due to the inability to eat and swallow the patients loose weight. Achalasia is a rare condition and occurs in 0.5-1.0 cases per 100.000 persons a year. Causes Swallowing and esophageal transport depend upon the outbalanced function of the nerves and muscles. Achalasia patients have an impaired function of the nerves responsible for the coordinated activation of transport and the relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). As a consequence the esophagus looses its ability for adequate transport. Due to the lack of swallow-induced relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the food gets stuck in the esophagus."

ENT symptoms are likely prevalent (dysphagia, and less frequently dysphonia, dyspnea, etc. ), but diagnosis and the relation between symptoms and anterior longitudinal ligament ossification can be difficult to demonstrate. Starting from two clinical cases and a review of the literature, the authors propose a diagnostic and therapeutic course of action. Materials and methods A typical description of Forestier disease is related based on the cases of two 80- and 79-year-old men referred with gradually worsening swallowing problems leading to dysphagia. Both underwent surgical resection of cervical osteophytes via a lateral cervical approach after failure of the medical treatments. Discussion Based on the clinical presentations and the analysis of the literature, the authors describe the clinical features of the cervical anterior form of DISH presenting with ENT symptoms. The diagnosis and conservative therapeutic, and surgical management of anterior cervical hyperostosis based on ongoing gradual solutions are described.

"text": "At what histologic stage are mucosal strictures irreversible? K. Geboes, J. Mebis (Leuven)Radiologically, an esophageal stricture is defined as a persistent narrowing that is longer than 1 cm [ 1 ]. The most characteristic symptom of an organic narrowing, without complete obstruction, is dysphagia for solids, whereas drinking remains relatively easy. When the stenosis narrows further, even drinking may become difficult. Esophageal strictures can occur in all age groups and have a varied etiology. Especially in the elderly, esophageal stenosis should always arouse suspicion of malignancy. Most benign strictures are the result of chronic inflammation, mainly due to reflux of gastroduodenal contents. Ingestion of caustic agents, drugs, radiation, sequelae of surgical interventions and cutaneous diseases such as pemphigus and benign mucous pemphigoid may also lead to strictures [ 2 ]. Narrowing of the esophageal lumen due to inflammatory lesions is the result of a complex process involving inflammation, peristaltic dysfunction and repair. While edema, inflammation and muscle spasm are reversible, repair may lead to an irreversible stricture by inducing fibrosis."

Dysphagia may occur in up to 65 percent of stroke patients. If not identified and managed, it can lead to poor nutrition, pneumonia and increased disability. Aspiration Aspiration (inhaling food or drink) is a common problem for people with dysphagia. It occurs when material a person is swallowing enters their airway and lungs; pneumonia may develop. Normally, aspiration would cause a violent cough, but a stroke can reduce sensation. After a stroke, food or liquid could enter the airway/lungs without the survivor being aware of it. This is called silent aspiration. Testing Swallowing Speech-language pathologists are trained to test swallowing. The first step is a bedside assessment."

Normal, safe, aspiration free swallowing can be affected by: Loss of salivary flow Mucosal injury Muscular weakness Sensory deficits Connective tissue fibrosis Bony and soft tissue masses Respiratory disorders Neural pathway disorders Top Introduction Normal deglutition requires a complex and coordinated interaction of many head and neck structures. Abnormalities and disorders of oropharyngeal anatomy and physiology at any level will lead to some perceptible dysphagia. Normal human swallow is a combination of volitional events and involuntary reflexes. This review discusses several of the diseases and disorders of the head and neck that can affect swallow function. The most clinically relevant method of organization is by disease category, allowing for a more global characterization of the dysphagia induced by each disorder. Other resources are provided for an in-depth understanding of the normal anatomy and physiologic events that occur during a normal swallow. Specifically, this review addresses anatomic abnormalities, including congenital, postsurgical, or tumor-related changes in oropharyngeal anatomy; neurologic and neuromotor abnormalities that interfere with both the reflexive and voluntary motor functions required for a normal oropharyngeal swallow; infectious diseases resulting in oropharyngeal dysphagia; iatrogenic, pharmacologic, and psychiatric causes of dysphagia; and gastroesophageal reflux disease and its probable role in oropharyngeal dysphagia ( Table 1 ). Table 1: Major categories of head and neck disorders causing dysphagia Full size table Top Anatomic Abnormalities Inducing Head and Neck Swallowing Disorders Anatomic abnormalities in the head and neck resulting in dysphagia can be grouped into three categories: congenital abnormalities, traumatic injuries, and surgical insults.

"text": "\"Top Key Points The adult human esophagus is an 18- to 25-cm long muscular tube that has cervical, thoracic, and abdominal parts. The esophagus wall is composed of striated muscle in the upper part, smooth muscle in the lower part, and a mixture of the two in the middle. The myenteric plexus is well developed in the smooth muscle, but is also present in the striated muscle part of the esophagus. The function of the myenteric plexus in the striated esophagus is not well understood. Esophagus develops from foregut and by week 10 is lined by ciliated epithelial cells. Beginning at 4 months, the ciliated epithelium starts to be replaced by squamous epithelium. At either end of the esophagus the ciliated epithelium gives rise to esophageal glands. The upper esophagus is derived from branchial arches 4, 5, and 6, but the derivation of the lower esophagus is not known. The development of various elements of esophageal wall requires coordination of a variety of genes and mediators. Esophageal peristalsis appears in the first trimester, and gastroesophageal reflux can be documented in the second trimester."

"text": "\"Fungal infections Definition Fungi are types of parasitic plants that include molds, mildew, and yeast. A fungal infection is an inflammatory condition in which fungi multiply and invade the skin, the digestive tract, the genitals, and other body tissues, particularly, the lungs and liver. Fungal infections of the skin are often called ringworm or tinea. Description Microscopic fungi, which are called dermatophytes, often live exclusively on such dead body tissues as hair, the outer layer of the skin, and the nails. The fungus grows best in moist, damp, dark places with poor ventilation and on skin that is irritated, weakened, or continuously moist. Superficial fungal infections include tinea capitis, an infection of the neck and scalp; tinea barbae, also called barber's itch, along the beard area in adult males; tinea corporis on parts of the body, such as the arms, shoulders, or face; tinea cruris, or jock itch , involving the groin; tinea pedis, or athlete's foot ; tinea versicolor; and tinea unguium, or infection of the nails. The term tinea gladiatorum is sometimes used to describe ringworm infections in atheletes. Tinea gladiatorum is most common in swimmers, wrestlers, and athletes involved in other contact sports. Fungal infections of the skin and nails are very common in children, but they can affect all age groups. Systemic fungal infections occur when spores are touched or inhaled, or there is an overgrowth of fungi in or on the body."

What starts as a small white or yellow spot on the nail can quickly grow into a full blown infection with thick, crumbling nails that are distorted and dark. The infected nails might be painful or have an unpleasant odor. The nails may even completely separate from the nail bed. Treating fungal infections is never quick but starting a course of treatment as soon as possible will prevent further infection. Pharmaceutical treatments are often prescribed by doctors. The treatment of choice is an antifungal called Lamisil which has an active ingredient called terbinafine. Terbinafine is an effective antifungal but has been linked to severe liver and kidney damage. Exploring alternative remedies before risking potentially dangerous medications can help you find an effective cure with no side effects.

"text": "What are antifungal medicines and how do they work? There are several types of antifungal medicines. They come as creams, sprays, solutions, tablets designed to go into the vagina (pessaries), shampoos, medicines to take by mouth, and injections. Most work by damaging the cell wall of the fungus, which causes the fungal cell to die. Antifungal creams, liquids or sprays (also called topical antifungals)These are used to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp and nails. They include clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, tioconazole, terbinafine, and amorolfine. They come in various different brand names. Sometimes an antifungal cream is combined with other creams when two actions are required. For example, an antifungal cream is often combined with a mild steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, to treat certain rashes. The antifungal cream clears the infection, and the mild steroid cream reduces the inflammation caused by the infection."

"text": "Fungal Nail Infection Causes Risk Factors Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Outlook Overview Fungal infections can affect any part of the body. Fungi are normally present in and on the body alongside various bacteria. When a fungus begins to overgrow, you can get an infection. Onychomycosis, also called tinea unguium, is a fungal infection that affects either the fingernails or toenails. Fungal infections normally develop over time, so any immediate difference in the way your nail looks or feels may be too subtle to notice at first. Causes Why Does It Develop? A fungal nail infection occurs from the overgrowth of fungi in, under, or on the nail. Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, so this type of environment can cause them to naturally overpopulate. The same fungi that cause jock itch, athlete’s foot, and ringworm can cause nail infections. Fungi that are already present in or on your body can cause nail infections."

"text": "\"The human body is covered with a vast amount and diverse range of germs. These germs live harmlessly within the body and on the skin. However, certain types of fungus can build up on the skin and cause infections. A fungal infection is usually not serious and cannot normally be spread easily from person to person. An infection deeper within the body may be more serious. A fungal infection usually appears on the skin, as the organisms live on a protein called keratin. This protein makes up the nails, skin and hair. The various symptoms of this type of infection depend on the type of fungus that has caused the infection. Symptoms and appearance also depend on the part of the body infected. Usually, a rash will appear, but this too may have different characteristics."

Fungal infections can be classified according to the part of the body that is infected. A superficial mycosis is an infection that affects the outer layers of skin and hair. A cutaneous mycosis infects the epidermal layer of the skin, which is slightly deeper than the parts of the skin that are affected by a superficial infection. Cutaneous infections can also invade deeper into the keratinized layers of the nails and hair. A subcutaneous infection occurs even deeper in the body, in the dermis of the skin, the subcutaneous tissues, the muscle and the fascia. A systemic infection affects the organs of the body. The part of the body that has been infected by the fungus will affect the type of symptoms that are experienced and the severity of the condition. A superficial mycosis is usually less problematic than a systemic one, for example. Different types of fungal infection are given different names."

This increases to 50 % of individuals over the age of 70, and up to 1 in 3 individuals with diabetes. 3 Elderly and diabetic individuals are both at increased for toenail fungal infections due to decreased blood supply to the feet and weakened immune systems. 4,5 While not usually life-threatening, these infections can cause embarrassing disfigurement and pain, to the point of interfering with the quality of daily life.

Superficial fungal infections (e.g., yeast vaginitis, oral thrush, and athletes foot) affect millions of people worldwide. Although rarely life-threatening, they can have debilitating effects on a person's quality of life and may in some cases spread to other people or become invasive (systemic). Most superficial fungal infections are easily diagnosed and can be treated effectively. Systemic infections These occur when fungi get into the bloodstream and generally cause more serious diseases.

The filamentous growth is called mycelium (pl.=mycelia) and represents the \"\"body\"\" of the fungus. A fragment of mycelium is referred to as a hypha (pl.=hyphae). A less familiar fungus body, is the yeast. The yeast fungus is unicellular. Whether the fungus body is composed of mycelium or yeast, both will function in feeding and reproduction. Let us first discuss the more familiar filamentous appearance of the mycelium. Mycelium If we place a single fungal spore in the center of a petri plate, hyphae will germinate from the spore and grow radially, to form a circular growth of mycelium (Figure 1a). The radial growth of the mycelium can be small as shown in the petri plate below or may be extensive. Recall from the video \"\"The Moldy World About Us\"\" where a circle of mushrooms, called a \"\" fairy ring \"\", was formed ."

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

Because of this characteristic features, they are classified in a separate Kingdom called Kingdom Fungi. In this Kingdom, there are more than 7000 species that have been identified so far; there may be more to find. Similar to animals, fungal species possess digestive enzyme. However, unlike the animals, they digest food outside their cells. Fungi are considered as one of the widely distributed group of organisms that have the ability to make diseases in both animals and plants. In addition, fungi are widely used in many industrial applications such as brewing, fermentation etc. They can be either single-cell or multicellular. Molds and mushrooms are most familiar multicellular fungi, whereas yeast is the single cell fungus. Many classification systems of fungi have been proposed to date."

A hypha is a branching, tubular structure from 2-10 µm in diameter and is usually divided into cell-like units by crosswalls called septa. The total mass of hyphae is termed a mycelium. The portion of the mycelium that anchors the mold and absorbs nutrients is called the vegetative mycelium ; the portion that produces asexual reproductive spores is termed the aerial mycelium (see Fig. 1). Molds possess a rigid polysaccharide cell wall composed mostly of chitin and, like all fungi, are eukaryotic (see Fig. 2). Molds reproduce primarily by means of asexual reproductive spores such as conidiospores, sporangiospores, and arthrospores. These spores are disseminated by air, water, animals or objects and upon landing on a suitable environment, germinate and produce new hyphae (see Fig. 1)."

Fungi are heterotrophs-they cannot make their own food. They digest their food while it is still in the environment by secreting powerful hydrolyric enzymes, called exoenzymes, into their surroundings. Exoenzymes break down complex molecules to smaller organic compounds that the fungi can absorb into their bodies and use. Because of this mode of nutrition, fungi have evolved what structure to provide for both extensive surface are and rapid growth? Fungal hyphae form an interwoven mass called a mycelium (plural, mycelia) that surrounds and infiltrates the material on which the gungus feeds. The structure of a mycelium maximizes the ratio of its surface are to its volume, making feeding more efficient. A fungal mycelium grows rapidly, as proteins and other materials synthesized by the fungus are channeled through cytoplasmic streaming to the tips of the extending hyphae,How do the cell walls of fungi differ from the cell walls of plants? Unlike the cellulose walls of plants, fungal cell walls contain chitin, a strong but flexible nitrogen-containing polysaccharide. How do fungi contribute to an ecosystem?"

Those fungi found consistently in association with a particular plant disease are called pathogens. Fungal diseases affect the food supply, and as such have a direct impact on human civilization. Fungal pathogens derive nutrition from plants as facultative saprophytes, facultative parasites, or biotrophs, and in the process cause symptoms of disease, which broadly include abnormal growth, abscission, host tissue replacement, necrosis, and wilt. Pathogens are classified as fungus-like (Plasmodiophoromycota and the stramenopiles) and as true fungi (Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota).

"text": "During exercise, the heart rate increases and this causes increased blood flow to the muscles. Unit 2 - Aerobic Respiration The two forms of respiration - aerobic and anaerobic - are both looked at in GCSE Biology. This quiz focusses on aerobic respiration, in which glucose and oxygen react to release energy. Respiration is the method that all living cells use to produce energy. There are two types of respiration, depending on the levels of oxygen available to a cell - aerobic if there is plenty of oxygen or anaerobic if the oxygen supply is insufficient. Aerobic respiration gives a greater yield of energy than anaerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen to release energy. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water which leave the cell and are eliminated from the body of the plant or animal. Respiration occurs inside the the mitochondria of a cell and is actually carried out through a complex set of chemical reactions controlled by enzymes. Whichever way you look at it, respiration can be represented by the following equation:glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)Read More Did you know...

"text": "In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is an oxygen molecule, O 2. If aerobic respiration occurs, then ATP will be produced using the energy of the high-energy electrons carried by NADH or FADH 2 to the electron transport chain. If aerobic respiration does not occur, NADH must be reoxidized to NAD + for reuse as an electron carrier for glycolysis to continue. How is this done? Some living systems use an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor. Processes that use an organic molecule to regenerate NAD + from NADH are collectively referred to as fermentation. In contrast, some living systems use an inorganic molecule as a final electron acceptor; both methods are a type of anaerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic respiration enables organisms to convert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen. Lactic Acid Fermentation The fermentation method used by animals and some bacteria like those in yogurt is lactic acid fermentation (Figure 1). This occurs routinely in mammalian red blood cells and in skeletal muscle that has insufficient oxygen supply to allow aerobic respiration to continue (that is, in muscles used to the point of fatigue)."

"text": "Is the Krebs Cycle Aerobic or Anaerobic?by JANICE DAVIS Sept. 11, 2017The major difference between anaerobic and aerobic conditions is the requirement of oxygen. Anaerobic processes do not require oxygen while aerobic processes do require oxygen. The Krebs cycle, however, is not that simple. It is a part of a complex multi-step process called cellular respiration. Although the use of oxygen is not directly involved in the Krebs cycle, it is considered an aerobic process. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Aerobic Cellular Respiration Overview Aerobic cellular respiration occurs when cells consume food to produce energy in form of adenine triphosphate, or ATP. The catabolism of the sugar glucose marks the beginning of cellular respiration as energy is released from its chemical bonds. The complex process consists of several interdependent components such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Overall, the process requires 6 molecules of oxygen for every molecule of glucose. The chemical formula is 6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP energy."

Anaerobic Respiration & Exercise The muscle system comprises all the muscles you use in your body, including the muscles surrounding your vital organs and heart. The bloodstream is the network that connects the muscles in your body, providing oxygen and nutrients and carrying away waste products. The circulatory system and the muscular system work together when you exercise to provide for the increased demands for energy and strength, which increases the blood flow to your muscles. The Skeletal Muscle System Skeletal muscles are the muscles found in your legs and arms and throughout the body. The skeletal system is different from the smooth muscle system in organs like your liver and the cardiac muscle in your heart because the skeletal muscles contract voluntarily. This muscle system converts glucose, glycogen, amino acids and fat into ATP using oxygen, which releases a muscle contraction so that the muscle can be used again. This process is known as aerobic respiration. Blood Flow to Your Muscles During Exercise When you exercise, you increase the amount of blood flowing to and from your muscles so that more oxygen is supplied to complete aerobic respiration."

Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Here is a molecular model of a glucose molecule. You do not need to memorise the diagram for you GCSE exam, but it should help you to understand that a molecule of glucose contains six atoms of Carbon (shown in blue), twelve atoms of Hydrogen (shown in green), and six atoms of Oxygen (shown in red). In our tissues glucose can be broken down to release energy. The energy is used to make a substance called Adenosine Tri-Phosphate or ATP as it is usually called. ATP can provide energy for other processes such as muscle contractions. Here is a balanced chemical equation for the process of aerobic respiration.

ATP is then used as energy by nearly every cell in the body -- the largest user being the muscular system. Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis, formation of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Glycolysis The first step of aerobic respiration is glycolysis. This step takes place within the cytosol of the cell, and is actually anaerobic, meaning it does not need oxygen. During glycolysis, which means breakdown of glucose, glucose is separated into two ATP and two NADH molecules, which are used later in the process of aerobic respiration. Formation of Acetyl Coenzyme AThe next step in aerobic respiration is the formation of acetyl coenzyme A. In this step, pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria to be oxidized, creating a 2-carbonacetyl group. This 2-carbon acetyl group then binds with coenzyme A, forming acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl coenzyme A is then brought back into the mitochondria for use in the next step. Citric Acid Cycle The third step of aerobic respiration is called the citric acid cycle -- it is also called the Krebs cycle. Here, oxaloacetate combines with the acetyl coenzyme A, creating citric acid -- the name of the cycle."

By Eri Luxton; Updated April 24, 2017Living organisms require adenosine triphosphate, also called ATP and known as the energy molecule, to function. Cells produce ATP using cellular respiration processes, which can be divided into those that require oxygen and those that do not. Types According to Ohio State University, two processes living organisms use to produce ATP are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration has two types in humans, glycolysis and the phosphagen system. Identification Aerobic cellular respiration uses glycolysis to start the Krebs cycle, which generates a high yield of ATP for every glucose molecule used. Anaerobic respiration produces a lower yield of ATP in the absence of oxygen. When the body needs energy more quickly than it can absorb oxygen, such as during a sprint, cells use anaerobic respiration to produce ATP quickly. Expert Insight Two types of anaerobic cellular respiration take place during exercise in humans: the phosphagen system and glycolysis. The phosphagen system uses creatine phosphate, according to Becky Bass at Sonoma State University, and produces energy primarily for bursts of activity under 30 seconds."

This process is commonly used to our advantage in the production of beer and ales where barley, hops and other grains are fermented to produce alcohol, a natural by-product of anaerobic respiration in plants. Plant respiration, anaerobic or otherwise, begins with photosynthesis in the leaves. Photosynthesis Respiration in plants begins with photosynthesis. Plant cells contain organelles known as chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts is the substance called chlorophyll, which is what gives plants their green color. Plants absorb water through the root system and take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings in the leaves called stomata. Using the sun's energy and the chlorophyll, the plant converts the water and carbon dioxide into glucose and starches. The by-product of this is oxygen, most of which is released back into the air. Definition of Respiration Respiration in plants is a chemical process that breaks down glucose provided by photosynthesis to provide energy for the plant's cells."

All three are luxuriant and full of impact, yet simple to create, and will last right through the summer. With hanging baskets, it pays to think big. The larger the basket, the more moisture it will retain, keeping your planting masterpiece in better condition than a small one, so buy the biggest you can find. Many of the plants I've chosen are vigorous and hungry, so a good compost that's well supplied with season-long nutrients, as well as water-retaining gel, is a must.1.

But a few are fairly easy and rewarding species to grow up from small plants on up to large behemoths. These plants are tropical epiphytes. They grow on the sides of tree trunks, rocks and walls in nature. All ferns start out is microscopic spores. In the humid tropics, where it never gets cold or rarely dry, the spores have the perfect environment to grow in. Though it still amazes me how a huge, 100-pound fern can have started out as single spore, somehow attach to a wall, and then grow on a sheer vertical structure many feet off the ground and not fall down. Since most of us don't live in the tropics, the following are some suggestions to grow a Staghorn Fern in your less-than-tropical garden. Platycerium bifurcatum growing on a palm in cultivation Platyceriums basically consist of 3 parts: the roots (small and sometimes hard to see), sterile or basal fronds (which eventually dry up and form the ‘shield' or rounded base of the Staghorn fern) and the foliar fronds for which these beautiful ferns are named after (look a bit like a deer's antlers)."

The number you need to determine how many clothes a washing machine can effectively handle at a time is its pounds of clothing per load. For example, Whirlpool states that their top-loading washing machines can handle 12 to 18 pounds based on model. And, their front-loading machines vary from 12 to 20 pounds based on model. But, Whirlpool doesn’t provide in their product descriptions anything other than drum sizes of models in cubic feet."

"text": "\"Landscaping Basics Bougainvillea Vines for Landscaping By David Beaulieu Updated 02/16/18Share Pin Email Variegated bougainvillea. David Beaulieu\"\"Bougainvillea\"\" doubles as a botanical name (genus name) in plant taxonomy and as a common name. When using it as a common name, I do not capitalize. Botanically, the plants are classified as woody vines, although they often behave more like shrubs. In fact, they can easily be trained to grow as shrubs (see below). The foliage of these tropical flowers is usually evergreen in warm climates, but their leaves will sometimes drop if watering has been insufficient. Plant Characteristics These vines can attain a height and spread of 15-40 feet and contain thorns. What appears to be the flower on bougainvillea plants is actually a foliar structure referred to as a \"\"bract.\"\" The flower, technically, is much smaller and not nearly as eye-catching (it is off-white to yellow in color). Poinsettias, another tropical, similarly depend on bracts for their appeal."

There are three main types of strawberry plant - alpine (wild strawberries), summer-fruiting or perpetual-fruiting. Alpine strawberries such as Mignonette produce lots of very small and sweet berries from July-September. Summer-fruiting strawberries such as Sweetheart' produce a heavy flush of larger fruits in early and mid-summer. Perpetual-fruiting strawberries (or ever-bearing strawberries) such as Mara des Bois produce fruit in flushes from early summer all the way through to early autumn. If you have plenty of room, growing rows of early, mid and late season strawberries will maximise your crops - take a look at our Full Season Collection.

Luckily, some houseplants moonlight as efficient purifiers. For the best results, put as many plants that clean the air as you can care for in the rooms you use most, says environmental scientist Dr. Bill Wolverton. That means you'll want at least two plants (in 10- to 12-inch pots) per 100 square feet of space; if you're in the middle of major renovations, aim for more plants. One tip: Be sure not to overwater, as too much soil moisture can lead to mold growth. Below are smart options you can buy at your local nursery.

The descriptions were recorded and published by Europeans from the 1500s through the 1700s.

We think from the many signs we saw that they are built of wood and grasses; we also think from various conjectures and signs that many of them who sleep in country have nothing but the sky for cover. We learned nothing more of them. We think that all the others of the country we visited earlier live in the same way.

They burst with colour throughout the summer and you can fill them with frost hardy flowers and even evergreens over the winter. It doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated, try our easy guide to creating the perfect summer hanging basket or watch our video tutorial!1) Use a good quality compost.2) Think about the symmetry of the basket.3) Select colours that work together.4) Choose 3 to 4 different plants.5) A plant in the middle gives height while plants on the outside trail over the sides of the basket.1) Take one of our 12-inch Hanging Baskets to start. The flat base gives stability when planting and the side panels allow you to add interest with larger plants for an instant show of beautiful flowers.2) Make sure you cover the inside of the basket with a liner. There are lots of liners to choose from – Moss has a natural look, felt is easy to use and looks fairly natural too. Fill the basket with a layer of multi purpose compost and make the appropriate cuts in the inner liner spread equally around the basket.3) Now select trailing plants to use on the sides of your summer hanging basket and insert the plant root through the hole you’ve just cut. Take some care doing this as it is important not to damage your plants and make sure the roots are fully inserted through the liner and into the soil or the plants will not survive.4) Make sure you insert the bottom trailing plants first, before covering them with another layer of compost. Add the next layer of plants; try not to squash them too close together. Small plugs are better so go for some summer flowering ready plugs for best effect.5) Mix trailing plants with upright flowering plants for a fuller hanging basket. This adds extra interest to your displays."

You can buy well-grown plants in full flower throughout the summer, but it’s thriftier to start with young plants or root your own cuttings. Types of fuchsia All the popular fuchsias sold for bedding out in summer containers are tender, so they can’t go outside until after the last frost. Upright varieties have stiff straight stems – choose these for growing in pots or tubs, and for training into standard fuchsias. Trailing varieties have weak stems that flop and branch more freely – choose these for planting in hanging baskets and to put round the outer edge of a large tub or planter. Bush fuchsias are naturally free-branching varieties that make good fillers in large container schemes. They are also superb for growing in pots on conservatory windowsills or in window boxes. More striking still, species fuchsias can grow very tall with long, narrow, exotic-looking tubular flowers and large leaves, though others are small with tiny leaves and flowers. They are mostly more tender than the normal fuchsias. Hardy fuchsias, however, are happy outdoors in most of the southern half of Britain."

They are tender perennials in Zones 9 to 11. Petunias are divided into two different groups: Grandiflora petunias have very large flowers and are best grown in containers or hanging baskets (because they are more susceptible to rain damage). Multiflora petunias have smaller, but more abundant flowers and are ideal for summer bedding or in a mixed border (because they are more tolerant to wet weather). Planting You can grow petunias from seeds, but it is easier to grow them from transplants. If you are going to grow from seeds, start them indoors 10 to 12 weeks before you want to set them outside. Petunia seeds are very small and needs lots of light in order to germinate. Remember to water them. When the plants have three leaves, you can plant them outside. It’s best to buy transplants and plant them in light, well-drained soil in full sun after the last spring frost. ("

Over time the gas naturally disperses or passes out of your body through belching or flatulence. In the interim, however, you can experience pain and other discomfort. Several remedies can relieve the gas and help it pass out of your body more quickly.

"text": "Trapped Gas – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment Last Updated On December 22, 2016 By surekha Gas is normally eliminated either by burping or releasing it through rectum. However some people have trouble of trapped gases inside their stomach. On an average healthy individual passes gas about 10-13 times a day. Gas released out is usually odorless if it contains vapors of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. But sometimes it may have foul smell if it contains bacteria indicating presence of sulphur compounds in it. What Causes Gas to Get Trapped? Gas is basically produced by swallowing of air particles and by the digestive process of foods. Swallowing of air (aerophagia) is also one of the common causes of trapped gas. We all swallow minute quantities of air while drinking and eating and smoking. It is normally released out by burping and some quantity of gas is sent into the small intestine and further into the large intestine."

Healthy individuals usually process stomach gas without any problems. Other people have symptoms that can interfere with daily activities. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Burping Burping may be one of the first symptoms experienced after eating a large meal or consuming certain beverages. Extra air and gases release from the stomach in the form of a burp. This is why carbonated drinks--with all the air bubbles--provoke burping. Eating or drinking too fast can also cause burping or belching. A burp is a natural part of the digestive process, but some people experience excessive burping symptoms. Those who habitually drink carbonated beverages, or those who gulp down meals, will have frequent burping symptoms."

"text": "Some Reasons for Gurgling Stomach and Bowel Sounds Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet A gurgling sound in the abdomen is not uncommon. It is a sign of activity within the stomach and bowels that occurs throughout the day. But a gurgling abdominal sounds can also be a sign of various bowel diseases and it is therefore difficult to say what can be considered normal or abnormal. Similarly, a lack of bowel sounds can also be a cause for concern as it may be an indication of various gastrointestinal and abdominal conditions that need to be investigated. Causes of Gurgling Intestinal Sounds There are several reasons for the normal gurgling sounds in the stomach and bowels. The contents within the gastrointestinal tract are pushed through by the strong muscular contractions of the gut wall. Gurgling is largely due to the fluid content within the bowels. Even if you eat solid foods, the juices within the stomach and bowels, and the copious amounts of water secreted into the intestine to facilitate digestion results in large quantities of fluid within the gut. The churning and pushing of the fluid mush known as chyme naturally causes sounds. It is further added to by the bubbling in the bowels with gas production."

"text": "Stomach Bubbling Excessively, Loud Rumbling Even After Eating Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Genny L72 Asked : I have been suffering with an embarrassing problem for the past few months. My stomach rumbles loudly even if I have eaten and sometimes it even sounds like there is some bubbling. The sound is so loud that even others can hear it, even my colleagues sitting across from me. I am so stressed about this that I have actually been changed my eating patterns to reduce these episodes but nothing really helps for long. The bubbling is worse if I am hungry and there is also the rumbling but it is not as loud. If I eat, the bubbling goes down quite a bit but the rumbling gets worse and sometimes it sounds lower down the abdomen. Also when I eat I find a little bit of cramps, its like contractions because it comes and goes like in labor but not that painful. I have tried eating small amounts throughout the day and this is the only way to find a balance between the rumbling and bubbling in the stomach but this does not stop these sounds altogether. Apart from the stomach sounds, I have always suffered from constipation so that is nothing new – I sometimes go just 2 or 3 times in the week and at other times, I can go for as long as 5 days without a movement. I was thinking that it was an ulcer or something because I previously had this but the pain seems to get worse after I eat."

"text": "Guest over a year agowhat causes stomach gurgling and what is cure Danny over a year ago Hi! Is stomach gurgling the only problem you are experiencing? You have no pain or any other abdominal discomfort? Because irritable bowel syndrome makes these noises sometimes along with other discomforts you may feel. If it’s just gurgling, it is just a digestion taking place. There is even a name for the sounds. It is called borborygmi. What you are hearing is food bathing in stomach acid and being moved up and down by the intestine muscles for breaking food down and absorbing nutrients. When you add up air and gas, you get the gurgling sound. If it happens to you in the afternoons it probably means you haven’t had breakfast and you should have, so make sure you eat something before 9.30."

Mythbusters, Mentos, and Soda... Mentos and Soda - How Does It Work? There has been a lot of discussion online about why Diet Coke and Mentos make such an interesting combination. What everyone can agree on is that the carbon dioxide that has been compressed into the soda escapes so rapidly that the pressure pushes the soda out of the bottle. It’s like shaking a bottle before you open it, but even more dramatic. Making Lots of Bubbles If you have a liquid that is supersaturated with gas (like soda, which is pumped full of carbon dioxide), a nucleation site is a place where the gas is able to form bubbles. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a surface or specks of dust - that's where bubbles can form. Nucleation Sites Mentos seem to be loaded with nucleation sites. In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mento that an incredible number of bubbles will form when you drop it in a bottle of soda. Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom."

Well, it does help, but I now seem to be \"\"addicted\"\" to the baking powder and find myself taking it sometimes twice a day. Can this be of any harm to my body? Lately I've been getting chest pains and I've seen the doctor and he tells me that it's because of my heartburn and stomach spasms. I haven't told him about the baking powder but could that influence anything? Thanks for your advice. A: Experiments are sometimes done in elementary school, for the entertainment of children and to reveal basic principles of chemistry. For example, children are shown a beaker of vinegar, a smelly but otherwise inert-looking liquid. Then they are shown a tablespoon of baking soda, which also looks rather uninteresting, being just a white, odorless powder. Both are edible, and neither an exotic or dangerous chemical."

It is one of the most common causes of death in adult cattle at grassp>What is bloat? Bloat is simply the build up of gas in the rumen. This gas is produced as part of the normal process of digestion, and is normally lost by belching (eructation). Bloat occurs when this loss of gas is prevented. There are two sorts of bloat. The least common type is gassy bloat, which occurs when the gullet is obstructed (often by foreign objects such as potatoes) or when the animal can’t burp (such as with milk fever or tetanus). The second type of bloat is frothy bloat, which happens as the result of a stable foam developing on top of the rumen liquid, which blocks the release of the gas. This is by far the most common form of bloat, and unlike gassy bloat, it is highly seasonal with peaks in the spring and autumn."

Food that is not digested due to a lack of stomach acid does not pass easily into your small intestine. It sits in your stomach and ferments. This fermenting process causes the undigested foods to bubble and roll about, causing acid reflux. Acid reflux is caused when acid gets into your esophagus, and even a small amount will cause pain and discomfort. Taking an antacid in this case will cut the pain, but it will also insure that partially digested food gets into your intestinal tract and cause a host of problems: you don’t get the nutrition you need, the digestive system is overburdened, and your immune system suffers."

"text": "\"History Silver Dollar City , an 1880s theme park located near Branson, Missouri, presents six world-class festivals from April through December. The 100-acre park has 12 stage venues, 30 rides and attractions, 12 restaurants, 60 shops and 1500 employees, including 100 resident craftsmen. But it began as an accessory to a hole in the ground. The hole, first called Marble Cave because the limestone walls were thought to be marble, was one of the first attractions in what would become Branson. Eons old and hidden beneath the hills, it was first discovered by the Osage Indians in 1500, described by geologists in the 1860s and explored in the 1880s by adventurers who lowered themselves on ropes 200 feet into the main chamber. One of those adventurers was a newspaper publisher who began to write about the cave's beauty and mystery. A group of Union Civil War veterans formed a mining company to mine resources from the cave, mining tons of nitrogen-rich bat guano from the cave in the 1880s, but finding no marble. Scientific American magazine described the cave in 1885, and word of the natural wonder spread throughout the continent. Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch read of the cave, purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks and, with his two daughters, opened the cave to public tours in 1894. Cave tours continued into the early 1900s, and minister/writer Harold Bell Wright was one of its visitors."

This means there will be no state sales tax on items that could be used for back-to-school, such as clothing and computers. One popular destination for the tax-free weekend will be Tanger Outlets on the Highway 76 Strip in Branson. Shoppers there will have no state sales tax applied to all clothing and shoe purchases individually priced under $100. One thing to note is that these savings only apply to the state sales tax. Taney County and city sales taxes do still apply. However, the savings are still significant and the weekend will be a welcome opportunity for families trying to get everything ready for the start of the school year, as well as anyone looking to make the already great deals at Tanger Outlets just that much better. To find out more about the tax-free weekend as it pertains to Tanger Outlets, visit their events page by clicking here.

The sudden rise in gas prices comes after nearly 50 days of gas prices dropping. Earlier Friday in Sherman Oaks, regular gasoline went from $3.99 to $4.59 per gallon within minutes, and analysts believe stations that haven’t spiked much yet, will. Experts say prices are expected to rise steeply because of low inventory. Allison Mac, a petroleum analyst at Gas Buddy.com, predicted a 30 to 50 cent jump in prices next week. But the spike is not expected to last long, as prices should drop again in a few weeks, she said. “The EIA report came out earlier this week basically saying that we are below the comfortable level as to how much gasoline we really need, especially during the summer driving season,” she said. In Los Angeles, the average current price is $3.77 per gallon, going up 27 cents in two days. The average in L. A. is expected to surpass $4 per gallon by next week. But some stations have already surpassed the $4 mark."

"text": "\"A Look Back: Our History Edison International is the parent company of Southern California Edison (SCE), a regulated utility, and Edison Energy, a non-regulated energy services company. While SCE was officially incorporated in 1909, the company was originally formed by the mergers and acquisitions of many small predecessor companies going back to 1886. Due to the short duration of patents at the time, Thomas Edison allowed electric utilities to use his patents if they used his name. This is why there are many utilities which include the name \"\"Edison\"\" but are not affiliated with each other.1886: Lighting up the town of Visalia, Calif. Edison International traces its origins back to July 4, 1886. On that day, the partnership of Holt and Knupp (which later became the Visalia Electric Light and Gas Company) first used a steam engine fueled by cord wood to power brilliant arc lights during Visalia's evening 4th of July celebrations. Later that same year, the Santa Barbara Electric Light Company was formed and quickly installed brilliant outdoor arc lights to illuminate the balmy resort evenings in downtown Santa Barbara. Both the Visalia and Santa Barbara companies would later be merged into the Southern California Edison Company in the early 1900s.1887: Hydroelectric power near Riverside, Calif. In 1887, the first commercial hydroelectric plant in the West was built at the community of Highgrove near the City of Riverside. The plant took advantage of a 50-foot water drop in an irrigation canal to turn three waterwheels and direct current dynamos. The electricity was transmitted a very short distance to illuminate 30 arc lights in Riverside and Colton. In 1888, the company was incorporated as the San Bernardino Electric Company and later acquired by Southern California Edison in the early 1900s.1888: Steam-powered street lights in Pasadena, Calif. In 1888, the Pasadena Electric Light and Power Company installed steam-driven direct current generators to power arc lights for street lighting in Pasadena."

( 2018)So ever since i began my love affair with Walmart in Burbank i have been wanting to check out the gasoline pricing at the Costco which is right behind Walmart. Today was the day i made the plunge and i'm glad i did. First of all though $3.189 is truly an obnoxious price per gallon for fuel, the average price in Glendale is about $3.40 per. So this was a deal. As far as the fabled lines for gas are concerned, at 10:30 am there were some cars in several lines waiting: but anyone who lived through the gas shortages of the early 1970's knows that this line today was easy peasy. I did not wait hours, i waited minutes. From getting in line to leaving having gassed up was a total of 13 minutes."

You will find the answer to these questions and more here, but let me back up a little bit: Before I started driving for Uber, I was making $9 an hour at a minimum wage job. It was hard work, I had little to no flexibility in my work schedule, and the pay was only barely enough to survive. So how much do uber drivers make? Now… how much money do Uber drivers make? As an Uber driver here in Los Angeles, I usually make between $19 and $23 an hour. It pays my bills, while keeping my schedule completely flexible, which is very important for me as an actor. Driving for Uber, I do not need another job. How much does Uber pay?"

"text": "\"Average Gas Prices in Los Angeles Over $3 for First Time in 2015h Average gas prices in Los Angeles rose above $3 for the first time in 2015 during the last week of February and less than a week after an explosion at an Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance. The explosion, along with the introduction of more expensive seasonal gas and annual maintenance added to the jump in prices, which rose 17.7 cents per gallon in L. A. in the past week, experts said. The national average rose 4.7 cents per gallon in the same week, Gas Buddy.com stated in a news release. “Not only is the national average up some 27 cents per gallon versus last month, but some areas - like California - are seeing extra hits at the pump as a refinery explosion and seasonal gasoline requirements leading to a home run, and not for the home team,\"\" said Patrick De Haan, a senior petroleum analyst with Gas Buddy.com. The average regular gas price in Los Angeles Sunday was $3.03 per gallon, compared with a $2.95 average in the entire state, and $2.29 nationally. Average prices in the Los Angeles and Long Beach areas one week ago were $2.86 and $2.49 one month ago, AAA stated on its website. Last Wednesday’s explosion at an Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance was expected to cause prices to spike because E xxon Mobil and Tesoro Corporation refineries accounted for 17.5 percent of total oil processing capacity by California’s active refineries, the Los Angeles Times reported. “The shutdown at the Torrance refinery coupled with the earlier shutdown of the Tesoro Golden Eagle refinery has squeezed the supply of gasoline,” Linda Rapattoni, spokeswoman for the California Energy Commission, told the Times. The average price of regular gas increased by 1.8 cents per gallon the day of the explosion, which injured four workers and shut down a portion of the plant. Recent price surges came a month after the longest streak of decreasing national gas prices - 123 straight days - ended, CNN reported."

View repair cost for my car Get a repair estimate for your car Submit What is an exhaust manifold? The exhaust manifold is located between the engine cylinder head and catalytic converter. The purpose of this manifold is to collect exhaust gas as it leaves the cylinder head. How does the exhaust manifold work? As the engine pumps hot exhaust gases out of the cylinder head, the exhaust manifold receives it, and pressure builds inside the manifold. The metal gasket expands with the cylinder head and manifold, to fill the tiny gap between them, so back pressure may build without the gas escaping the exhaust system. Some exhaust manifolds are heavy cast-iron devices designed to store the extreme heat caused by the still-burning exhaust gases leaving the individual cylinders."

"text": "Exhaust Manifold Leak Repair Cost: Average Prices to Expect By Armaan Almeida, Automotive Editor - July 25, 2012Comments Email An exhaust manifold leak can be very damaging to your engine if it's not taken care of in a timely manner. A leaking exhaust manifold gasket can cause a burned exhaust valve, which can cause exhaust from the combustion chamber to flow the wrong way into the the intake manifold. On smaller-displacement engines in front wheel drive cars and most engines in rear wheel drive cars, replacing a leaking exhaust manifold gasket is quite easy. What It Takes As stated, replacing a gasket causing an exhaust manifold leak is quite easy. You'll need a couple of wrenches or deep sockets to remove the manifold. You'll also need something to remove traces of the old gasket. Emery cloth or some very light grit sandpaper is perfect for this, but we've found that a small scraper works best, especially in tight confines. You can pick up these scrapers from Home Depot or Lowe's. Labor Costs Typically, most shops use what is known as a parts and labor guide to determine how many hours of labor to charge for any given repair. Usually, this type of repair will run between two and three hours."

"text": "When we first started our Cobra project, we had little knowledge about engines. I understood the basics about how a four stroke engine worked, but knew little about the details. Of the books and magazine articles I found, none provided a real overview of engine design and operation – they all either assumed a working knowledge of engines or talked about improving power by bolting this or that gadget on without really explaining how it worked. So, after spending the past several months reading various books and magazines and spending lots of time perusing the Club Cobra archives, I’m starting to understand just enough to be dangerous. Here’s an overview of what I learned, particularly as it applies to the engine we’re building for our Cobra. The Four Stroke Engine Almost all modern automobile engines are what are called four stroke or four cycle engines. This refers to the four different operations that occur during each set of four strokes each piston makes before repeating the process. The four strokes are referred to as INTAKE, COMPRESSION, POWER, and EXHAUST. These four strokes repeat over and over as the engine runs. On the INTAKE stroke, the piston moves down and sucks the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder."

The purge valve can be either electrically or vacuum operated and opens at the appropriate time to allow fuel vapors stored in the canister to be drawn into the intake manifold and burned as part of the combustion process.

"text": "\"5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Parts2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Coyote Engine For The First Time Ever, The Mustang Gets Its Own V-8-And We Get The Inside Story On Its Birth Tom Wilson February 16, 2010Photos By: Dale Amy, Courtesy of Ford Motor Company Of the many milestones in the Mustang's 45-year history, one of the greatest has come to fruition. For the first time the Mustang is debuting its own V-8. Not a derivation of an existing engine, not borrowed from a sedan, not developed to satisfy a sanctioning body, but conceived, designed, and built as a Mustang performance engine. It is the new 5.0 Four-Valve Ti VCT V-8, which simultaneously pays homage to Ford history and traditional enthusiast performance expectations while fully embracing new technologies. Given its intent, performance, and mainstream production, it promises to be one of the most important Mustang V-8s of all time. Developed under the code name Coyote, the new 5.0 was conceived in 2007 to replace the 4.6 and 5.4 Modular V-8s, which were approaching the end of their development. Ford needed a Mustang GT engine to compete against the new Chevy and Dodge efforts. While the Hurricane and Boss were explored initially-eventually a 6.2-liter SOHC Two-Valve version of that program ended up in the SVT Raptor and soon other F-150s-those large engines proved unsuitable for the Mustang. With time running short, Ford regrouped at the familiar modular engine family with plans for an all-new modular development specifically for the Mustang. Few hard points were fixed at the Coyote's conception, but a handful were quickly set."

"text": "\"What is an Exhaust Manifold? A vehicle's exhaust manifold plays the leading role in a car or truck's exhaust system. It connects to each exhaust port on the engine's cylinder head, and it funnels the hot exhaust down into one simple exhaust pipe. With the help of the exhaust manifold gaskets, it also prevents the toxic exhaust fumes from sneaking into the vehicle and harming the occupants. Needless to say, it's pretty important to have your exhaust manifold in good working order. The average V-shaped engine has two exhaust manifolds attached to it. One is for cylinder bank one, and the other is for cylinder bank two. The vast majority of inline engines have just one exhaust manifold. Rotary engines? They usually have just one exhaust manifold, though the turbocharged models have \"\"down pipes\"\" on the hot side of the turbo as well."

"text": "Exhaust Manifold Leak Repair Cost: Average Prices to Expect By Armaan Almeida, Automotive Editor - July 25, 2012Comments Email An exhaust manifold leak can be very damaging to your engine if it's not taken care of in a timely manner. A leaking exhaust manifold gasket can cause a burned exhaust valve, which can cause exhaust from the combustion chamber to flow the wrong way into the the intake manifold. On smaller-displacement engines in front wheel drive cars and most engines in rear wheel drive cars, replacing a leaking exhaust manifold gasket is quite easy. What It Takes As stated, replacing a gasket causing an exhaust manifold leak is quite easy. You'll need a couple of wrenches or deep sockets to remove the manifold. You'll also need something to remove traces of the old gasket. Emery cloth or some very light grit sandpaper is perfect for this, but we've found that a small scraper works best, especially in tight confines. You can pick up these scrapers from Home Depot or Lowe's. Labor Costs Typically, most shops use what is known as a parts and labor guide to determine how many hours of labor to charge for any given repair. Usually, this type of repair will run between two and three hours."

"text": "\"The Buick V6, initially marketed as Fireball at its introduction in 1962, was a large V6 engine used by General Motors. The block is made of cast iron and all use two-valve-per-cylinder iron heads, actuated by pushrods . The 3800 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines of the 20th century list, made Ward's yearly 10 Best list multiple times, and is one of the most-produced engines in history. To date, over 25 million have been produced. In 1967, GM sold the design to Kaiser-Jeep. The muscle car era had taken hold, and GM no longer felt the need to produce a V6, considered in North America an unusual engine configuration at the time. The energy crisis a decade later prompted the company to buy the design back from American Motors (AMC), who had by that point bought Kaiser-Jeep, and the descendants of the early 231 continue to be the most-common GM V6 as it developed into a very durable and reliable design. Though the pre-3800 RWD V6 uses the BOP bellhousing pattern that it inherited from its aluminum V8 ancestor, an oddity of both the FWD and RWD 3800 V6 is that although it is a 90° V6, it uses the GM 60° V6 bell housing. For use in the RWD applications, the bellhousings on both the manual and automatic transmissions are altered slightly. The engine was produced at the Flint North plant in Flint, Michigan ."

"text": "\"AJ6 ENGINEERINGTHE JAGUAR V12 ENGINEXJ-S and Saloon - 5.3 and 6 litre. V12 Types. There are essentially 2 variants of the Jaguar V12 engine with respect to the cylinder head/combustion chamber design. In its original form, produced from 1971 to 1981, the inlet and exhaust valves were situated alongside each other and the cylinder heads formed a flat top to a combustion chamber in the form of a bowl in the piston crown (diagram 1). Apart from when the piston is at the top of the bore the valves are completely unobstructed and provide excellent flow capability. For that reason most high power and racing V12s are based on this early \"\"flat head\"\" engine. The drawback of the arrangement is poor part throttle efficiency which forced Jaguar to investigate ways of drastically improving the highway cruise fuel consumption. This resulted in the so-called HE V12 which entered production in 1981 and applied to all production V12s after that time. The new arrangement has the exhaust valve recessed deeply into the cylinder head to form a compact oval chamber with the spark plug located at one end. As the flat topped piston approaches the top of the bore it forces much of the charge into a shallow channel around the inlet valve from where it squirts tangentially to generate a high speed vortex in the chamber (diagram 2 & 3)."

What does an oxygen sensor replacement cost? Oxygen sensors are one of the key markers which govern engine performance. A wrong signal from a faulty sensor to the onboard computer can severely impact an engine. While most oxygen sensor problems involve replacement, self-replacing a sensor is often not as easy as it seems. If a sensor has to be replaced, consult an Expert who will provide step-by-step instructions on how best to proceed. Where is the oxygen sensor bank 1 and heated oxygen sensor control circuit located on a Hyundai? The oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold. It is threaded into the manifold and marked ‘heat protector’."

"text": "Exhaust Manifold Repair Service What is the Exhaust Manifold all about? Depending on your engine and type of vehicle, the exhaust manifold can either be a set of pipes or it can be a cast iron manifold assembly. Essentially the exhaust manifold takes the burned exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders and ejects the gas through the exhaust system and out through the car's tail pipe. The exhaust gases are the burned fuel/air residue from the combustion process in the cylinders of the engine. Over time, the constant expansion and contraction of the components (caused by constant heating and cooling in the engine), may cause the manifold to crack and leak. These leaks can be hazardous as hot exhaust gases escape and can damage other components in the engine compartment. A leaky exhaust manifold can also impact engine performance. Keep in mind: Sometimes an exhaust manifold starts to leak because a mounting bolt has broken. If this happens, the mechanic will have to remove the broken bolt or stud, which can increase the labor time needed to fix the problem. Your mechanic may charge you an additional fee, depending on the severity of the situation."

"text": "\"Is Alcoholism Inherited? Hereditary Component to Alcoholism\"\"There is a known hereditary component to alcoholism...\"\" The question of whether alcoholism is inherited or not is a complex one. There is a known hereditary component to alcoholism, but that doesn't mean that someone with an alcoholic family member will definitely become an alcoholic; nor does it mean that all alcoholics have an alcoholic family member. Genetic, Social and Emotional Factors of Alcoholism In general, alcoholism is considered a disorder that involves a combination of genetic, social and emotional factors. The hereditary impact involves multiple genes, some of which are yet to be discovered. Some genes seem to have an impact that mixes with social and emotional factors, so people who inherit these genes are only vulnerable if they also have specific environmental factors in their lives as well. Other genes have an even stronger impact on the risk of alcoholism, so people who inherit these genes may be at a much higher risk of alcoholism even when they have no negative environmental factors that are affecting them.

"text": "\"Arts Genetic Basis for Crime: A New Look By PATRICIA COHEN JUNE 19, 201136It was less than 20 years ago that the National Institutes of Health abruptly withdrew funds for a conference on genetics and crime after outraged complaints that the idea smacked of eugenics. The president of the Association of Black Psychologists at the time declared that such research was in itself “a blatant form of stereotyping and racism. ”The tainted history of using biology to explain criminal behavior has pushed criminologists to reject or ignore genetics and concentrate on social causes: miserable poverty, corrosive addictions, guns. Now that the human genome has been sequenced, and scientists are studying the genetics of areas as varied as alcoholism and party affiliation, criminologists are cautiously returning to the subject. A small cadre of experts is exploring how genes might heighten the risk of committing a crime and whether such a trait can be inherited. The turnabout will be evident on Monday at the annual National Institute of Justice conference in Arlington, Va. On the opening day criminologists from around the country can attend a panel on creating databases for information about DNA and “new genetic markers” that forensic scientists are discovering. “Throughout the past 30 or 40 years most criminologists couldn’t say the word ‘genetics’ without spitting,” Terrie E. Moffitt, a behavioral scientist at Duke University, said. “ Today the most compelling modern theories of crime and violence weave social and biological themes together. ”Researchers estimate that at least 100 studies have shown that genes play a role in crimes. “ Very good methodological advances have meant that a wide range of genetic work is being done,” said John H. Laub, the director of the justice institute, who won the Stockholm Prize in Criminology last week."

Regular use of LSD over a long period of time may result in clinical psychosis, which makes it difficult for the user to function normally. Users may also develop a physical tolerance to the drugs meaning that they must continue to raise the amount of LSD they ingest in order to produce the same type of high or trip.

The title of the section alludes to a quality in something's past that will influence its future. Let's look at an example to see how biology can predispose someone. Genetics Genes are molecular units for trait heritability. They're often made up of groups of DNA.

LIKELY CAUSESThere is strong evidence that most transgender people are born with a predisposition to being transgender that was formed prenatally. Generally gender identity seems to be fully formed before age 6 and then becomes very difficult to change or influence later. There are thought to be 3 major factors in development, Chemical/Hormonal, Genetic and Environmental. We know from brain studies that men and women have small yet specific and identifiable structures in the brain that are different in size and proportion. When the brains of transgender persons are analyzed they almost always consistently match the bain structure of their adopted gender not their birth sex. Male to female transsexuals have female brain structures. These changes are thought to be caused due to hormonal or chemical imbalances that cause the wrong hormones to be expressed prenatally. The sample sizes are small in these studies due to the low number of transgender persons brains for medical study after death, but research is ongoing."

"text": "What causes Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD)? Despite numerous studies, the actual cause of the inflammatory bowel diseases remains elusive. It is likely, however, that these chronically recurring episodes of inflammation in the human bowel are related to a complex interaction between various environmental factors and a hereditary predisposition for these diseases. In recent years, research has identified various sites (genes) within the human genome that may be associated with these diseases. To date, changes in multiple genes (nearly 40) have been discovered that play a greater or lesser role in the development of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The most important of these changes of the genetic material in patients with Crohn's disease was identified by scientists in 2001. They showed that changes (mutations) in the so-called NOD2/CARD15 gene significantly increase the risk of developing Crohn's disease. Such changes appear to be at least partially responsible in about 20% of all Crohn’s patients for the occurrence of this disease. On the other hand, it is clear that this hereditary predisposition alone cannot lead to the outbreak of disease: this requires the presence of further, as yet unidentified factors. Changes in the NOD2/CARD15 gene are found in about 4% of individuals, who do not develop this disease."

But the fact is, hair loss is totally normal. On average we lose around 80 strands a day, if you begin to shed significantly more than that or you notice they aren't growing back, well, that's when things start to get a bit hairy (soz, I couldn't help it). The thing is, when it comes to hair loss there are so many potential triggers, which means it can be tricky to pinpoint the exact reason why your strands are falling out, and henceforth, how to remedy the situation. We spoke to Anabel Kingsley, a leading Trichologist at the Philip Kingsley Clinic in London, to help break down the possible reasons why you're losing hair. First things first, Anabel explained that hair loss is a very common problem for women – much more so that people realise. \"\" Research shows that at least 1 in 3 women will suffer from hair loss or reduced hair volume at some point in their lifetime\"\". So if you are losing strands, it's important not to freak out, your mane will recover. In the meantime, here's everything you need to know...\"\"Research shows that at least 1 in 3 women will suffer from hair loss or reduced hair volume\"\"Firstly, there are different types of hair loss, genetic and reactive... Genetic: There's a chance you're genetically predisposed to hair thinning, which means you may see a progressive, gradual reduction in hair volume. \"\" In these instances, certain hair follicles are sensitive to male hormones – and this sensitivity causes follicles to gradually shrink and produce slightly finer and shorter hairs with each passing hair growth cycle.\"\" Explains Anabel."

Open Document What is inborn and what is learned? The discussion as to whether nature or nurture were the driving force shaping our cognitive abilities, was for a long time considered interminable. In the 18th century, Locke and the English empiricists claimed that individuals were born with a tabula rasa and only experience could establish mind, consciousness and the self. On the continent, Leibniz envisaged the self as a monad carrying with it some knowledge of a basic understanding of the world. Until the 1960s, this dispute was still very vivid in the behavioral sciences: B. F. Skinner 's school of behaviorism in the USA postulated (as reflexology did earlier) general rules for all types of learning, neglecting innate differences or predispositions. K. Lorenz was one of the protagonists of ethology in Europe, focusing on the inherited aspects of behavior. It was Lorenz who ended the antagonistic view of behavior in showing that there indeed are innate differences and predispositions in behavior where only little learning occurs. Today, it is largely agreed upon that nature and nurture are intimately cooperating to bring about adaptive behaviors. Probably only in very few cases ontogenetic programs are not subjected to behavioral plasticity at all. Conversely, the possibility to acquire behavioral traits has to be genetically coded for."

As genetic testing for disease susceptibility is incorporated into clinical practice, family physicians will increasingly provide initial genetic counseling and referrals for testing. Genetic testing for disease susceptibility is associated with numerous social, ethical and legal concerns that should be addressed during the counseling process. Informed consent requires discussion of the limitations of the available genetic tests and interventions, implications of test results for the patient and family members, and limits of confidentiality, and discrimination risks. Other issues include regulatory concerns in commercial testing and the existing legal protections against genetic discrimination.

Sometimes people knowingly do good deeds for the benefit of themselves, but most of the time the underlying selfish motivation is a mystery to the benefactor. Biologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists have all held that \"\"altruism\"\" is never what it seems. That all apparently selfless acts are self-centered is known in the sciences as 'universal egoism', which according to the prominent psychologist Richard Gross, \"\"is the dominant ethos in social science including psychology.

We have examined four major perspectives on personality, each valuable for the light it sheds on our complex workings. SIGMUND FREUD AND PSYCHOANALYSIS - Psychoanalytic assessment aims to reveal unconscious aspects of personality. Although some criticize projective tests, such as Rorschach inkblots, because they have only modest reliability and validity, the Rorschach continues to be used by many clinicians. The Conscious, The Preconscious, and the Unconscious: Levels of Awareness The Conscious - The thoughts, feelings, sensations, or memories of which a person is aware at any given moment. The Preconscious - Information that is not conscious, but is retrievable into conscious awareness. The Unconscious - According to Freud, a reservoir of mostly unacceptable thoughts, wishes, feelings, and memories. According to contemporary research psychologists, a level of information processing of which we are unaware. Sigmund Freud's treatment of emotional disorders led him to believe that they sprang from unconscious dynamics, which he sought to analyze through his own and his patients' free association and dreams."

"text": "\"Disease Theory of Alcoholism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alcoholism or alcohol addiction is a disease characterized by the compulsive drinking of alcoholic beverages. Alcoholism can also refer to the behavior of drinking to the point of negative consequences. The existence of the disease alcoholism is widely accepted by the medical and scientific communities, [ 1] although critics exist. Theory The modern disease theory of alcoholism meaning it is not at all a disease states that problem drinking is sometimes caused by a disease of the brain, characterized by altered brain structure and function. [ 2] Within the theory, this disease is called \"\"alcoholism\"\" or \"\"alcohol addiction\"\" although in common usage these words often have other meanings. Alcoholism is a chronic, life-long disease, such as diabetes. However, if managed properly, damage to the brain can be stopped and to some extent reversed. [ 3] In addition to problem drinking, the disease is characterized by symptoms including an impaired control over alcohol, compulsive thoughts about alcohol, and distorted thinking. [ 4] Alcoholism can also lead indirectly, through excess consumption, to physical dependence on alcohol, and diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver. The risk of developing alcoholism depends on many factors, including genetics and the environment."

Its North helps form part of the Arctic alongside North America and Europe. Though most of its continental borders are clearly defined, there are gray areas. Europe and Asia are technically located on the same overall landmass, and combined the two are referred to as Eurasia. As a result of its porous land border, some countries on Asia’s western border have been at times referred to as part of Europe’s East. Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia are sometimes referred to as Asian and other times as European. Russia and Turkey tend to be cut into regions. Russia is generally split along the Ural Mountains, with its western half called “European Russia” and its East as simply “Russia.” The land between Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, and its direct borders with Bulgaria and Greece is at times referred to as a part of Europe called “Thrace,” while the rest of its territory is called “Anatolia” and is part of Asia. On the other side of the continent, the islands which separate Asia from Oceania can also be difficult to delineate."

Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres (17,212,000 sq mi), about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, [5] was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements, as well as vast barely populated regions. Its 4.5 billion people constitute roughly 60% of the world's population. In general terms, Asia is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The western boundary with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. The most commonly accepted boundaries place Asia to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. ["

Most of it is broken up into provinces (省), but there are several other geographic units of the same hierarchical rank as provinces: Various ethnic groups have autonomous regions (自治区), although their autonomy is far from complete. For the traveler, these can generally be thought of as provinces, but in political discussions the distinction may be important. Four of the larger municipalities (市) are not part of provinces, but independent entities whose leaders report directly to Beijing. The smallest of these, Tianjin, has a population well over 10 million. The largest, Chongqing, has over 30 million residents. Hong Kong, Macau, and Wolong are special administrative regions (SARs， 特别行政区).

History [ edit]When Taroko National Park [2] was eventually established on November 28, 1986, it was of special significance for the environmental protection movement in Taiwan: it showed that both the public and the government agencies had realized despite the nation's four decades of extraordinary economic success, serious damage was being done to its natural resources. According to the National Park Act of the Republic of China (passed in 1972), parks are established to protect the natural scenery, historic relics and wildlife; to conserve natural resources; and to facilitate scientific research and promote environmental education. Landscape [ edit]The most phenomenal aspect of the park is the amazing relief. In a single afternoon you can travel from rugged coastal cliffs through a maze of subtropical forested canyons to high elevation subalpine coniferous forests. In about 60 kilometers the landscape rises from sea level to some of the tallest peaks in Taiwan at over 3400 meters. That's steep!The force behind the steep valleys and narrow canyons is a (geologically speaking) relatively fast rate of uplift combined with ample water."

On the other hand, in monolithic ceramics, the interface chemistry, as also the nature of mechanical and chemical bonding established between the two phases can be entirely different from that obtained in ceramic composites. Monolithic ceramics are typified by their special features, such as reliability, durability and resistance to high temperatures, which makes them indispensable in some of the more demanding applications. These ceramics can be fabricated without a reinforcement material and have a polycrystalline microstructure. Much of the demand for Monolithic Ceramics is derived from their extensive use in the automotive, electrical and electronics, power and defense industries. A growing global demand for electronic devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, has been instrumental in propelling the market for these materials. Asia-Pacific's rapidly expanding electrical and electronics sector has ensured that the region remains at forefront in terms of demand for Monolithic Ceramics. One possible limiting factor to this momentum can be the high cost of processing and excessive requirement of energy that go into obtaining the final product. Some of the other factors playing prominent roles in impacting the market for Monolithic Ceramics include greater use of these ceramics in fabricating turbine blades and other automotive components and stringent pollution control measures being rolled out by developing nations. Worldwide market for Monolithic Ceramics forecast to be US$51.2 billion in 2017 and projected to reach US$67.5 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.7% between 2017 and 2022."

The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands, or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone ( Wallacea and Australasia) or the Pacific ecozone (Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand or from mainland New Guinea). Etymology The term was coined as Océanie ca. 1812 by geographer Conrad Malte-Brun. The word Océanie is a French language word derived from the Greek word ὠκεανός ( ōkeanós ), ocean.

"text": "Humanities ›Geography The Number of Countries in the World Share Flipboard Email Print Yi chan / Getty Imagesby Matt Rosenberg Updated November 22, 2017The answer to this seemingly simple geographical question is that it depends on who's doing the counting. The United Nations, for example, recognizes more than 240 countries and territories. The United States, however, officially recognizes fewer than 200 nations. Ultimately, the best answer is that there are 196 countries in the world. United Nations Member States There are 193 member states in the United Nations. This total is often cited inaccurately as the actual number of countries in the world because there are two other members with limited status. Both the Vatican (officially known as the Holy See), which is an independent nation, and the Palestinian Authority, which is a quasi-governmental body, have been granted permanent observer status at the U. N. They can take part in all official U. N. activities but cannot cast votes in the General Assembly. Likewise, there are some nations or regions that have declared their independence and are recognized by a majority of U. N. member states, yet are not part of the United Nations. Kosovo, a region of Serbia that declared independence in 2008, is one such example. Nations Recognized by the U. S. The United States officially recognizes other nations through the State Department."

September 27, 2012 — The University of Southern California’s entering undergraduate student body is among the most diverse, upwardly mobile and academically talented in the university’s 132-year history, with a record number of students who are the first in their families to go to college. Average standardized test scores for the incoming class lie in the 95th percentile. About 90 percent of incoming freshmen were in the top 10 percent of their high school class, and around 10 percent of them were valedictorians. The average GPA of the group was 3.70. USC received 46,104 applications for 3,021 places in this fall’s freshman class. With this year’s applicant pool, USC’s freshman admission rate was 20 percent. The class represents a highly competitive and highly diverse group of students, with very broad geographic representation:● The class ranks among the most ethnically diverse ever enrolled at USC, with 21 percent under-represented minority students, including 6 percent African American, 13 percent Latino, 2 percent Native American/Pacific Islander, and 23 percent Asian students. In addition, 14 percent of matriculating students are the first in their families to attend university, the most ever in a USC entering class. ● Outside California, the leading U. S. states supplying new class members at USC are, in order: Texas, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Washington."

The country is bordered by fourteen other nations. With a total area of about 9,596,960 square kilometers (3,705,407 square miles), the country is slightly smaller than the United States. China is administratively divided into twenty-three provinces, five autonomous (self-governing) regions, and four municipalities.2 TERRITORIES AND DEPENDENCIESMost international governments recognize Taiwan as an independent country; China, however, strongly disagrees with the rest of the world. It claims Taiwan as one of its provinces. The Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, located near the southeast edge of China, both maintain largely independent political and economic government structures; they are governed by China, however, in matters of foreign affairs and defense.3 CLIMATEMost of the country enjoys a temperate climate, but since the country is so large with such variations in altitude, many extremes in climate do exist. At the highest elevations in southwestern China, there are only fifty frost-free days per year. The hottest spot in China is in northwestern China in the Turpan Pendi, where summer highs can reach 47°C (116°F). Winter temperatures in northern China often drop to as low as -27°C (-17°F), and even in summer, they reach just 12°C (54°F)."

It is common for Japanese people to think that Japan is not part of Asia since it is an island, cut off from the continent. This tells a lot about how they see themselves in relation to their neighbours. But in spite of what the Japanese may think of themselves, they do not have extraterrestrial origins, and are indeed related to several peoples in Asia. We shall have to go back a long way through history and analyse in depth the genetics, culture and language of the archipelago and try to find out whether the Japanese are indeed unique, and in what way."

"text": "Heavy rains falling in Taiwan nourish rice paddies. China, the world's fourth-largest country in terms of land area, features a wide range of climates, but the climate in southern China is relatively uniform, owing to the lack of any major geographic barriers, such as the high mountain ranges in the northwest of the country. Additionally, the South China Sea fringes much of the region's southern coast, joining the Pacific Ocean, which surrounds the southwestern coast. These large bodies of water drastically influence the climate of southern China. Climate Categorization The majority of southern China falls into the humid subtropical climate category. The same climate type, typically found on the eastern sides of large continents, also dominates most of the southeastern United States. Winters are mild and summers are hot and muggy. Unlike the tropics, most of southern China experiences distinct seasons, but trees remain green year-round. Southern China's only notable exception to the humid subtropical type is the island of Hainan Province, which possesses a tropical maritime climate, with year-round heat and little distinguishable seasonal variation. Precipitation Snow is quite rare in southern China and never falls along the coast."

It is also used for financial reporting by business and other organizations. Laws in many jurisdictions require company financial reports to be prepared and published on an annual basis, but generally do not require the reporting period to align with the calendar year (1 January to 31 December). Taxation laws generally require accounting records to be maintained and taxes calculated on an annual basis, which usually corresponds to the fiscal year used for government purposes. The calculation of tax on an annual basis is especially relevant for direct taxation, such as income tax. Many annual government fees—such as Council rates, licence fees, etc.—are also levied on a fiscal year basis, while others are charged on an anniversary basis.

Many people hoped that a peace settlement would prevent war from happening again, President Woodrow Wilson thought that he had the answer to all Europe’s problems. He stated his views in ‘Fourteen Points’. Wilson’s Fourteen Points On January 8 th, 1918, Wilson outlined his peace proposals to the American Congress.

The article did not use the word \"\"guilt\"\" but it served as a legal basis to compel Germany to pay reparations for the war. Article 231 was one of the most controversial points of the treaty. It specified:\"\"The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies. \"\" Germans viewed this clause as a national humiliation, forcing Germany to accept full responsibility for causing the war. German politicians were vocal in their opposition to the article in an attempt to generate international sympathy, while German historians worked to undermine the article with the objective of subverting the entire treaty. The Allied leaders were surprised at the German reaction; they saw the article only as a necessary legal basis to extract compensation from Germany. The article, with the signatory's name changed, was also included in the treaties signed by Germany's allies who did not view the clause with the same disdain as the Germans did. American diplomat John Foster Dulles —one of the two authors of the article—later regretted the wording used, believing it further aggravated the German people. The historical consensus is that responsibility or guilt for the war was not attached to the article."

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."

"text": "The Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One had ended in 1918 and in the shadow of the Russian Revolution and other events in Russia. The treaty was signed at the vast Versailles Palace near Paris – hence its title – between Germany and the Allies. The three most important politicians there were David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson. The Versailles Palace was considered the most appropriate venue simply because of its size – many hundreds of people were involved in the process and the final signing ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors could accommodate hundreds of dignitaries. Many wanted Germany, now led by Friedrich Ebert, smashed; others, like Lloyd George, were privately more cautious. Background World War One had left Europe devastated. Those countries that had fought in it, had suffered casualties never experienced before: Britain : 750,000 soldiers killed; 1,500,000 wounded France : 1,400,000 soldiers killed; 2,500,000 wounded Belgium : 50,000 soldiers killed Italy : 600,000 soldiers killed Russia : 1,700,000 soldiers killed America : 116,000 soldiers killed Those who had fought against the Allies suffered heavy casualties as well: Germany: 2,000,000 soldiers killed Austria-Hungary: 1,200,000 soldiers killed Turkey: 325,000 soldiers killed Bulgaria: 100,000 soldiers killed The total deaths of all nations who fought in the war is thought to have been 8.5 million with 21 million being wounded. Alongside these statistics, was the fact that vast areas of north-eastern Europe had been reduced to rubble. Flanders in Belgium had been all but destroyed with the ancient city of Ypres being devastated. The homes of 750,000 French people were destroyed and the infrastructure of this region had also been severely damaged."

Open Document Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles began with a peace conference which opened in Paris in January of nineteen twelve at the end of World War I. There were great expectations of peace. France, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States were present at the conference. Not only did these countries want peace from the war; they were also looking for eternal peace. This optimism and idealism was greatly strengthened by President Wilson’s peace proposal, the Fourteen Points. It was published in January of nineteen eighteen and the points stressed national self-determination and the rights of small countries. ( 1) The Treaty of Versailles was a failed attempt by the Big Four for peace. The United States, Great Britain, and France were the real powers at the conference. Germany wasn’t allowed to participate, Russia was in the middle of a civil war and Italy was considered part of the Big Four but their involvement was limited. From the start the three big allies began to quarrel. European crowds wildly cheered President Wilson."

"text": "Versailles and Peacemaking By Dr Ruth Henig Last updated 2011-03-10'Should the Treaty of Versailles punish or rehabilitate Germany?' Dr Ruth Henig examines the question that divided the Allies at the end of World War One. On this page The American liberal peace programme Challenges to Wilson Negotiations begin Germany incensed A stab in the back Find out more Print this page The American liberal peace programme The peace settlement was drawn up at the end of a long and gruelling war which cost over eight million lives and, according to one estimate, around 260 billion dollars - or to put it another way, over six times the sum of all the national debt accumulated in the entire world from the end of the 18th century to 1914. When press reports about Wilson's Fourteen Points first reached Germany, the American peace programme was indignantly dismissed... The expectation of both the Allies and the Central Powers was that the costs of the war would largely be recouped from the losers. Furthermore, both sides planned to exploit their victory by inflicting territorial losses and military limitations on the enemy, and confiscating a sizeable chunk of their economic and industrial resources. Wilson: progressive liberal? © However, such ambitions did not accord well with the peace programme being drawn up in the United States in the course of 1918. The Fourteen Points, delivered by the President of the United States to the American congress in January 1918, and his subsequent addresses represented an ambitious and idealistic bid by Woodrow Wilson to seize the initiative on behalf of the United States and to offer moral leadership to the world in the ensuing peace negotiations. When press reports about Wilson's Fourteen Points first reached Germany, the American peace programme was indignantly dismissed by conservatives as being a 'front for imperialistic conquest' and striking a note of victory which was 'hardly appropriate to Germany's unprecedentedly promising military situation' in early 1918. In stark contrast to Wilson's peace proposals, the Germans concluded an extremely harsh treaty with Russia at Brest Litovsk in March 1918, and turned their attention to a final, all-out push to break the Allied lines on the Western Front."

Both took place after major wars, (The Congress took place after the Napoleonic Wars, and Versailles after WWI) and in both cases the nation held responsible changed its politics in order to be seen as a member of the \"\"club\"\" (France put the Bourbons back on the Throne, and Germany became a Republic). The differences are much more prevelant both in the agreements and the results. First of all at Vienna, France was allowed to participate. This ensured a gentler settlement for France, Germany was excluded from the \"\"Big (Decision Making) Four\"\" during Versallies. Versallies established a much harsher settlement for Germany forcing them to pay crippling reparations and to limit their military. France had to accept much more lienient measures at Vienna, mainly because at Vienna it was more about putting Europe back together then punishing a guilty nation."

It also stated that Germany would never go to war with the other countries. Locarno divided borders in Europe into two categories: western, which were guaranteed by Locarno treaties, and eastern borders of Germany with Poland, which were open for revision. Historian Sally Marks says: Henceforth the spirit of Locarno would reign, substituting conciliation for enforcement as the basis for peace. Yet for some peace remained a desperate hope rather than an actuality. A few men knew that the spirit of Locarno was a fragile foundation on which to build a lasting peace.

French withdrawal from the occupation of the Ruhr was scheduled for January 1925, but Stresemann sensed that France was very nervous about its security and might cancel the withdrawal. Stresemann realized that France deeply desired a British guarantee of its postwar borders, but that London was reluctant. Stresemann came up with a plan whereby all sides would get what they wanted through a series of guarantees set out in a series of treaties."

"text": "6. Locarno Pact: A. The Locarno Conference was called partly because of the failure of the Treaty of Versailles to satisfy many nations and solve conflicts between countries that remained after World War I. The Treaty of Versailles ended military actions against Germany in World War I. It resulted in the Rhineland Security Pact as well as 6 other treaties. In October of 1925, representatives of seven European countries met in Locarno, Switzerland. The seven countries involved were Belgium, United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Italy and Poland. The purpose of the conference was to discuss political borders and to build permanent peace. It was the second peace conference (the first was the Congress of Vienna). However the most important issue was to find settlement between France and Germany and for the first time, nations treated Germany as a friendly nation. The Rhineland Security Pact developed as the most important treaty. Germany had joined the League of Nations, it helped set up a neutral zone in the Rhineland, which was an area covering Belgian, French and German soil. All signing powers vowed to guarantee France’s and Belgium’s borders with Germany,The six other treaties made all seven nations promise to discuss its problems before resorting to war; they were all to submit all future disputes to international authority."

Modern Germany was formed in 1871 when Otto von Bismarckunified most of the German states, with the notable exception of Austria, into the German Empire. [ 1] After the First World War Germany lost about 10% of its territory to its neighbours and the Weimar Republic was formed. This republic included territories to the east of today's German borders. The period of Nazi rule from the 1930s through the end of the Second World War brought significant territorial losses for the country. Nazi Germany initially expanded the country's territory dramatically and conquered most of Europe, though not all areas were added to Germany proper. The Nazis' fortunes changed after the failure of the invasion of Soviet Union. The Nazi regime eventually collapsed, and the Allies occupied Germany. Immediately after the war, all territorial gains were reversed and pre-war Germany was split into British, French and American occupation zones in the northwest, west and south and a Soviet occupation zone in the centre; the capital Berlin was similarly divided into four sectors. The former eastern territories of Germany were ceded to Poland and the Soviet Union and the Oder and Neisse Rivers became Germany's new eastern boundary."

"text": "Lessons from History? The Paris Peace Conference of 1919By: Margaret Mac Millan Historians are always reluctant to draw lessons from history, and with good reason. History has been so often abused to support outrageous policies, to promote extravagant claims to territory or to explain away bad decisions. We all know how nationalist movements have created, and indeed been the creation of, highly selective histories. We have seen in the recent past how reference to, for example, appeasement can be used to justify actions in contexts which are not at all like that of the 1930s. Nevertheless I am going to break the rules of the Historians’ Guild and see whether the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 offers any useful suggestions for today. The word ‘lessons’ is perhaps too strong, but history can offer us instructive analogies. It can help us to formulate useful questions about our own times. And it can provide warnings: we are on thin ice here, there are dangerous beasts over there. Since the end of the Cold War, our world has become an increasingly complicated and troubling one."

The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

Teen Growth Pattern Whatever pattern a teen's growth follows, it is during the pubertal years that your son or daughter grows tall more rapidly than at any other time in a child's life. Girls: On average, rapid growth occurs around age eleven and a half, but it can begin as early as eight or as late as fourteen. Boys: Usually trail behind by about two years—this is why thirteen-year-old girls can, for a time, be a head taller than thirteen year old boys.

Adolescence is that ten to twelve year period of social and psychological growth that transforms the dependent child (beginning in late elementary or early middle school) into a functionally independent young adult in his or her early to mid twenties. Puberty is the one to three-year process of hormonal and physical change that causes the young person to reach sexual maturity, girls usually entering it about a year earlier than boys. Among other changes wrought by puberty, there are growth spurts that create bigger bodies to manage. For girls hips broaden, breasts swell, menstruation begins, and they can produce eggs. For boys muscles enlarge, voice drops, ejaculation begins, and they can produce sperm. For both male and female there is more hair around sex organs, more body odor, and more active skin glands that can create acne. Now young people, as young as ten to fourteen are capable of participating in sexual reproduction, which doesn't mean that they immediately want to fulfill that potentiality."

Barnett 2This publication is the first of a series that explores adolescence in terms of physical, cognitive, social, and moral development. This publication will focus on the physical development that adolescents experience. The journey from childhood to adolescence is very challenging. Between the ages of 10 and 18 there are major changes in physical, cognitive, social, and moral development. The major task for adolescents is to establish their self-identity. By determining—as best they can—a sense of who they are, they attempt to move into a group that reflects or reinforces this self-identity. The group allows them to feel that they stand out from the crowd. This phase of development allows the adolescent to search for their sense of self. This is in order to answer the increasingly important question that they could not consider in earlier stages of development: “Who am I?”Physical Development Physical development is a critical part of adolescence."

It begins with the first signs of sexual development, about two years before menarche (for girls) or first ejaculation (for boys). The process continues for about another three years before the person reaches reproductive maturity. You don't say what you mean by \"\"puberty characteristics\"\". If you had first ejaculation at age 13, you should be finishing puberty about now. But if you just mean that your growth spurt began at 13, you should still have another two years of development ahead of you. And the inability to hold an erection for a long time is a very typical characteristic of young men. Physical growth does not always end at the same time as puberty.

See related patient information handout on early and delayed puberty, written by the authors of this article. Normal puberty begins between eight and 14 years of age in girls and between nine and 14 years of age in boys. Pubic hair distribution is used to stage puberty, along with breast size and contour in girls and testicular volume in boys. Some children experience constitutional sexual precocity, but precocity is likely to be pathologic if it occurs in very young children, if there is contrasexual development or if the sequence of normal pubertal milestones is disrupted. Delayed puberty may be constitutional, but pathologic causes should be considered. The etiology of a pubertal disorder can often be determined with the use of a focused medical history, a directed physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests. Treatment for disorders of puberty is determined by the underlying cause."

"text": "How Carbohydrates Are Digested And Used By The Body4. How Carbohydrates Are Digested And Used By The Body4.1 Introduction to Digestion Before discussing carbohydrate digestion in particular, let’s give a little attention to digestion in general. Complete and thorough digestion of foodstuffs is extremely important for good health. A tremendous amount of toxin elimination and accumulation puts a great stress and burden upon the organism and results in a large variety and number of diseases. This happens both directly, from the presence of accumulated toxic substances that the body was unable to eliminate, and indirectly, from a decrease in the body’s digestive capabilities due to overworking the digestive system and depleting the body’s supply of vital energy. It is, therefore, important for us to do everything we can to insure thorough and complete digestion of all foods eaten. This can be done by eating primarily (or only) easily digested and uncomplicated foods such as fruits; by eating compatible combinations of foods; by eating moderate amounts of foods; by eating at well-spaced meals; by abstaining from drinks during or too soon before or after meals; and by refraining from eating while under stress or emotionally upset. One of two things happens to foods that do not get thoroughly or completely digested: 1) Sugars may ferment or 2) proteins may putrefy (rot). These processes result from bacterial activity which breaks down (decomposes) undigested or undigestible foods in preparation for their elimination from the body. The “trick” to, getting nourishment (nutriment) from the foods you eat is to see to it that they, get digested quickly, before the bacteria (present within every healthy digestive tract) have a chance to decompose them."

The normal concentration of blood sugar should be between 70 to 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/d L) before meals, and less than 180 mg/d L after meals, according to the National Institutes of Health. [ 1] This corresponds to 3.9 to 7.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) before meals and less than 10 mmol/L after meals. The Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) is normally tested in the morning after having abstained from food for at least 8 hours. This test is done to check for prediabetes and diabetes. A healthy person will have FBS between 70 and 100 mg/d L because the values can vary depending on physical activity and the method used for testing. Laboratory testing generally uses blood drawn from a vein, whereas home testing uses blood obtained by pricking a finger. Blood sugar testing kits include glucometer and lancet device.

These are joined together in long, straight chains to form molecules such as octane. Hydrocarbons contain and store a lot of energy in their bonds, and are thus good fuel molecules (gasoline, for example contains a lot of hydrocarbons). However, they are strongly hydrophobic (they 'hate' water), so it is very difficult for living cells and organisms to manipulate and use pure hydrocarbons. About the only use for nearly pure hydrocarbons is wax, which is so strongly hydrophobic that it is used as a waterproofing material. Fatty Acids Fatty acids consist of long, unbranched hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one end. The number of carbon atoms in a fatty acid molecule is usually even (6, 8, 12, 32, 36, etc. ), although it is not impossible to find a fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms in its structure. While the long, hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid continues to be strongly hydrophobic, the presence of the carboxylic acid group at one end of the molecule adds some hydrophilic properties. Small fatty acids such as propionic acid (with 3 carbon atoms) mixes with water readily, caproic acid (with 6 carbon atoms) is only 0.4 percent soluble in water."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/what-are-simple-carbohydrates-complex-carbohydrate.html sugar is soluble in water because it is a polar molecule. water is also a polar molecule... a simple way to remember if a solute will dissolve in a solvent is \"\"like dissolves like\"\" so polar water will dissolve polar molecules... nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances First, note that not all polysaccharides are insoluble, although many polysaccharides are less soluble than their monomer counterparts. Starch, for example, is not completely insoluble. The main reason for insolubility of polysaccharides, such as cellulose, is the extended intermolecular interactions among polysaccharide molecules. Solubility depends on a solvent's ability to separate solutes into each individual molecule by surrounding it. When the attraction between solute molecules is great, such as the case of cellulose in water, the molecules are insoluble. When sugar molecules form a polymer, intramolecular interactions, which are usually hydrogen bonds, allow formation of secondary structures, which in turn may allow intermolecular interactions, leading to an even larger structure. Each hydrogen bond interaction may be weak, but when many hydrogen bonds form within and between polymers, the total attraction force can be great. The following are links that discuss the intra- and intermolecular interactions of cellulose and starch: www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/hycel.html and www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/hysta.html."

Whereas lipids do not dissolve in water. That is why lipids get coated with water-soluble proteins to form microscopic complexes called lipoproteins which helps it travel through your blood stream. 2) Digestion and absorbtion - The enzymes in your saliva, pancreas and small intestine break down carbohydrates into simple sugars called monosaccharides, which pass into your bloodstream for distribution to your organs and tissues. Lipids require a more complex digestive process. Liver produces bile juice which is released into small intestine by gallbladder. Bile breaks down large lipid globules into microscopic droplets, which are then digested by enzymes in pancreas. 3) Structure - Lipids are made up of triglyceride molecules, which are phosphate molecules with 3 long alkyl chains bound to it.

"text": "Polysaccharides are chains of sugar units that form in configurations from tens to thousands of units long. They comprise the carbohydrate storage units for plants and animals, and they can also have structural roles in plants, fungi, insects, and crustaceans. Plants make starches as their storage units, while animals store glycogen. Starches and glycogen are homopolysaccharides, meaning that they have the same type of sugar throughout their chain. The polymeric carbohydrate structure for glycogen and starch is made of chains of glucose linked by glycosidic bonds. These are bonds in which the adjoining –OH groups of glucose join together, forming water as a byproduct. These bonds are easily broken, making starch and glycogen ready sources of energy in the form of glucose. Glycogen has thousands of units of glucose with many branches in its structure. There are two forms of starch, amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an unbranched chain of hundreds of glucose units, while amylopectin is a chain of thousands of units that is branched."

Disaccharides consist of two simple sugar molecules grouped. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates that contain between 3 and 10 monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates formed by the union of many monosaccharides or disaccharides. From a dietary point of view, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides have been considered complex carbohydrates, excluding the disaccharides that have been included in the group of simple carbohydrates. ( More on them in \"\"simple carbohydrates\"\", listed above)Some foods containing complex carbohydrates Main complex carbohydrates belonging to the oligosaccharides Among the main complex carbohydrates belonging to the oligosaccharides we have the following: The trisaccharides (oligosaccharides composed of three monosaccharides) Among them raffinose. Raffinose: A carbohydrate complex formed by binding of fructose, galactose and glucose. It appears in the composition of foods such as beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, whole grains and vegetables. The body decomposes raffinose in the large intestine by the action of an enzyme called agalactosidase, produced by the action of spoilage bacteria. This decomposition is responsible for the production of gases, such as methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen are responsible for the flatulence that eating these foods often produce."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Polysaccharides are the complex carbohydrates. They are made up of chains of monosaccharides (the sugars) which are linked together by glycosidic bonds, which are formed by the condensation reaction. The linkage of monosaccharides into chains creates chains of greatly varying length, ranging from chains of just two monosaccharides, which makes a disaccharide to the polysaccharides, which consists of many thousands of the sugars. As a group, the polysaccharides play diverse and important roles within the biology of life processes; however, they can be divided into two broad groups Cellulose Cellulose is a major component of plant cell walls. It is an unbranched polymer with about ten thousand glucose units per chain. Hydroxyl groups (-OH) project out from each chain, forming hydrogen bonds with neighbouring chains which creates a rigid cross-linking between the chains, making cellulose the strong support material that it is. Despite the combined strength of cellulose, it is fully permeable to water and solutes which makes it ideal for allowing water and solutes into and out of the cell. It is the most abundant organic substance in the living world and it has been estimated that more than half the total organic carbon on the planet is in cellulose."

"text": "\"< Principles of Biochemistrynavigation search Earlier the name \"\"carbohydrate\"\" was used in chemistry for any compound with the formula C m (H 2 O) n. Following this definition, some chemists considered formaldehyde CH 2 O to be the simplest carbohydrate, while others claimed that title for glycolaldehyde. Today the term is generally understood in the biochemistry sense, which excludes compounds with only one or two carbons. Natural saccharides are generally built of simple carbohydrates called monosaccharides with general formula (CH 2 O) n where n is three or more. A typical monosaccharide has the structure H- (CHOH) x (C=O)- (CHOH) y -H, that is, an aldehyde or ketone with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon atom that is not part of the aldehyde or ketone functional group. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and glyceraldehyde. However, some biological substances commonly called \"\"monosaccharides\"\" do not conform to this formula (e.g., uronic acids and deoxy-sugars such as fucose ), and there are many chemicals that do conform to this formula but are not considered to be monosaccharides (e.g., formaldehyde CH 2 O and inositol (CH 2 O) 6 ). The open-chain form of a monosaccharide often coexists with a heterocyclic compound|closed ring form where the aldehyde / ketone carbonyl group carbon (C=O) and hydroxyl group (-OH) react forming a hemiacetal with a new C-O-C bridge. Monosaccharides can be linked together into what are called polysaccharides (or oligosaccharides) in a large variety of ways. Many carbohydrates contain one or more modified monosaccharide units that have had one or more groups replaced or removed. For example, deoxyribose, a component of DNA, is a modified version of ribose; chitin is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose. ["

These lifetime reserve days are capped at a certain number over the entire lifetime of the policy. They do not have to be used during a particular hospital stay. Next Up Lifetime Cost Case Management Credentialing Liability Reserve Ratio BREAKING DOWN 'Lifetime Reserve Days'Lifetime reserve days are most often associated with Medicare policies. When an insured person enters a medical facility, such as a hospital, the benefit period begins, lasting until the person leaves the facility. If the policyholder needs to stay longer than the days allotted per benefit period, he or she may continue to stay using the lifetime reserve days. For example, if a patient stays in the hospital or nursing facility for 100 days but is only allotted 90 days per benefit period, the patient will have to use 10 lifetime reserve days. Original Medicare requires different co-payments (co-pays) depending on the number of days a patient stays in the hospital, with lifetime reserve days beginning after day ninety. The first sixty days of hospital stay have no co-pay, days sixty-one to ninety have a daily co-pay of $304 (in 2014), and over ninety days have a $608 co-insurance per lifetime reserve day used. Planning for hospital stay expenses can help reduce the overall cost of an extended stay."

"text": "\"Human Rights – What Every Employer Should Know Posted on Sep 7, 2005 in Publicationsby Leanne E. Standryk The law pertaining to human rights legislation is a matter of public policy in Ontario. It stands for the proposition that people are entitled to be treated equally and with dignity. In the past, human rights issues were typically a very small part of employment/labour law matter. Now, such issues re-define the rights and obligations traditionally ingrained within the employment relationship. This article was written by Leanne E. Standryk and explores fundamental concepts and principles underlying the law of human rights and the workplace. Introduction The common law does not force employers to enter into contracts of employment with anyone, including disabled employees. It allows employers to freely negotiate the terms of the employment contract, to manage the workplace environment in accordance with legitimate business interest and to freely terminate the relationship on reasonable notice without cause. However, these rights are restricted by human rights legislation. Employers are responsible for providing a work environment that is free from harassment and discrimination. They are responsible for dealing quickly, fairly and effectively with human rights issues in the workplace."

Please keep in mind that the information is directed toward the NA groups that are in the USA and may at any time become outdated by some action beyond our purview. Further, this information may not be applicable for NA service committees. We suggest that NA service committees in the USA contact a licensed local tax professional for advice on these matters. GROUP CHECKING (DEMAND DEPOSIT) ACCOUNTSMany NA groups make the decision to utilize a bank checking account to help manage and protect the NA funds they collect. While this commitment to accountability is commendable, caution should be exercised when a group decides to open a bank checking account. Such accounts typically require an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) identification number to be obtained. Two different numbers are used for this purpose: a Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals and an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for groups and entities other than individuals. These identification numbers can be used by the IRS for financial tracking purposes, and banks are required to report certain account activity information to the IRS, large cash deposits and interest income, for example. It is important that NA groups refrain from using an individual’s SSN to open a checking account."

For many companies, this is a very large liability and, for the most part, it is not captured on the balance sheet. We could say that pensions are a type of off-balance-sheet financing. Pension fund accounting is complicated and the footnotes are often torturous in length, but the good news is that you need to understand only a few basics in order to know the most important questions to ask about a company with a large pension fund. There are various sorts of pension plans, but here we review only a certain type: the defined benefit pension plan. With a defined benefit plan, an employee knows the terms of the benefit that he or she will receive upon retirement. The company is responsible for investing in a fund in order to meet its obligations to the employee, so the company bears the investment risk. On the other hand, in a defined contribution plan, a 401 (k), for example, the company probably makes contributions or matching contributions, but does not promise the future benefit to the employee. As such, the employee bears the investment risk."

After decades of students accepting the idea that a college degree is the best ticket to a financially safe, middle class life, think pieces now proliferate on whether a college degree is actually worth the cost. The reason behind the recent doubt is clear. Student loan debt has ballooned in the past few years: The total amount of U. S. student loan debt is now over $1 trillion. The average student has close to $30,000 in debt. Over a million students are graduating with student debt each year. But in spite of the warnings and alarmist articles about student debt, people with college degrees are better off in the job market and earn more over their lifetimes – about $1 million more.

"text": "\"When you file a joint tax return, your standard deduction doubles. Getting married changes a lot, including your tax status, but two things remain the same: You still have to file a tax return, and Uncle Sam lets you take a deduction. The good news is that when you file jointly, your deduction doubles. Your deduction is the amount you subtract from your income to lower your tax bill. Filing Status Before you figure your standard deduction, you first have to determine your filing status. When you’re single, that’s your only filing status choice; however, married couples can choose between filing jointly or filing separately. As far as the IRS is concerned, “a marriage means only a legal union between a man and a woman as husband and wife.” The IRS considers you married for the whole year provided you meet its parameters on Dec. 31. Standard Deduction In 2009, the standard deduction for couples filing jointly was $11,400. Enter it on line 40 of form 1040, on line 24 of form 1040A or on line 5 (along with your exemptions) if you file your taxes on form 1040EZ."

"text": "How to File a FAFSA as an Independent Undergraduate Student By David Weliver • August 13, 2008As an undergrad you are still considered a dependant of your parents for the purposes of federal aid. That means that you need their financial information when you apply for federal aid, even if they aren’t helping you go to school. It might not be fair, but that’s the default assumption. However, there are a few exceptions which we discuss here. It’s a common financial aid quandary: Why does a student who does not receive financial support from mom and dad need to include parents’ finances—including their most recent tax returns—when completing a FAFSA form for federal financial aid? Some students can avoid it, but to do so, you must meet the government’s definition of an “independent student”. Dependent vs. independent students The government assumes that most students attending college will receive some kind of financial assistance from their parents if the parents can afford it. That support may include at least a partial payment of tuition fees, but a free room and hot meals while you’re studying also counts. Therefore, the feds consider undergraduates to be dependent students by default. ( Graduate and professional students, on the other hand, are considered independent students by default)."

I have an article follow by a mini game to teach you the difference between gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Gram positive bacteria are “positively” stained purple/blue when chemicals of the gram staining process bind to them. Gram negative bacteria on the other hand respond “negatively” to the gram staining treatment. So they have a barrier preventing the gram staining procedure from turning it blueish purple. How Gram Staining Works To understand gram staining you must be familiar with the structure of the bacteria they are used on. Gram positive bacteria have a single thick cell wall made of peptidoglycan (50-90% of cell wall). This thick wall stains purple and remains purple throughout the gram staining test. Gram negative bacteria have a thinner layer of peptidoglycan (10% of cell wall), and an additional outer membrane which contains lipids. The outer membrane of gram negative bacteria will stain purple also but it falls off during the gram stain test."

De Agostini Picture Library / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated August 07, 2017The Gram stain is a differential method of staining used to assign bacteria to one of two groups (gram-positive and gram-negative) based on the properties of their cell walls. It is also known as Gram staining or Gram's method. The procedure is named for the person who developed the technique, Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram. How the Gram Stain Works The procedure is based on the reaction between peptidoglycan in the cell walls of some bacteria. The Gram stain involves staining bacteria, fixing the color with a mordant, decolorizing the cells, and applying a counterstain. The primary stain ( crystal violet) binds to peptidoglycan, coloring cells purple. Both gram-positive and gram-negative cells have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, so initially all bacteria stain violet. Gram's iodine ( iodine and potassium iodide) is applied as a mordant or fixative."

"text": "\"Daptomycin (Cubicin T): A New Treatment Option from Gram-Positive Infections Introduction: Over the past few decades, the incidence of infections due to resistant gram-positive organisms has increased. A report from the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system documented a 13% increase of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients in 2002 compared to the previous 5 years. In many institutions, the proportion of S. aureus isolates that are methicillin-resistant has reached 50%. Once thought to be primarily a nosocomial or health care-associated pathogen, recent reports of community-acquired MRSA have led to more concern. Due to the increased rates of resistance, vancomycin has become a mainstay of therapy for the empiric treatment of gram-positive infections. However, overuse of vancomycin may correlate with the increase of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and more recently, reports of vancomycin-intermediate and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VISA and VRSA, respectively). 1,2The emergence of the multidrug-resistant pathogens (e.g., MRSA, VRE, and VISA) is one reason for the development of newer antimicrobial agents with enhanced gram-positive activity. Quinupristin/dalfopristin (Synercid ®; King Pharmaceuticals), belonging to the streptogramin anti-microbial class, was approved in 1999 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This agent has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against streptococci, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), MRSA, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. While Enterococcus faecalis is intrinsically resistant to Synercid ®, reports of induced resistance in susceptible pathogens is rare."

Â Amoxicillin is a better known drug and medication that are commonly sold in the market as Amoxil, Dispermox and Alphamox. Â It is a B Lactam antibiotic that is used for treatment of bacterial infections. Â As it is better absorbed by the human system, the drug is more popular for use in the market. Â Ampicillin is also a beta-lactam antibiotic that is popular for treating bacterial infections and is sold in the market as Omnipen, Polycillin and Principen. Â This type of drug is as well able to penetrate the Gram positive bacteria and in some cases the Gram negative. Â However, with Amoxicillin, it acts by preventing the synthesis of bacterial walls that will surround and protect them. Â Another major difference within the composition is that the Ampicillin is noted to have these amino acids that will invade the formed membranes of Gram negative bacteria. Amoxicillin works by cross linking the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains of the cell wall of the Gram Positive and Negative bacteria. Â Thus, it weakens the defenses of the invading substances that make a person weak and sick."

If it takes the initial stain, it will be purple and be considered gram positive. If it doesn't take the initial stain, it will be pink and gram negative. The difference is the outer casing of the bacteria. A gram positive bacteria will have a thick layer of peptidoglycan (a sugar-protein shell) that the stain can penetrate. A gram negative bacteria has an outer membrane covering a thin layer of peptidoglycan on the outside.

These microorganisms can have remarkable abilities such that we cannot fathom. In order to begin to understand them, we must learn the basics. Some of these organisms have distinct qualities that set them apart from one another, such as the exposure to certain environments. Through out the semester in the laboratory, we are able to encounter some of the few microorganisms that we as humans have come into contact with. With the knowledge gained from the sessions in the laboratory, we can now integrate what we have learned to the process of finding out the unknowns given. Materials and Methods The unknown specimen was given out by the Professor. The test tubes were labeled number 122 and Alt 5. The primary objective was to isolate two different colonies within the test tube. First off, a streak plate must be done on a nutrient agar plate."

"text": "Prokaryotes VS Eukaryotes Cell Structure and Differences Under the Microscope Defined as pre-nucleus, prokaryotes are cells that contain no membrane-based organelles, including a nucleus. Mostly recognized as bacteria, two prokaryotic kingdoms exist: Monera or Bacteria and Archaea. Seemingly simple in structure and markedly different from eukaryote and protist organisms, many scientists believe prokaryotic cells were amongst the first on the Earth and very well may out-survive all other organisms. Cell Theory Prokaryotes are, with few exceptions, unicellular organisms; many bacteria live in colonies, making them appear larger at first glance, but individual cells are visible under a microscope. These cells do not possess membrane-based organelles, but the fundamentals of cell theory still apply. Initially proposed by German scientists Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, and later amended by Rudolf Virchow, four basic rules apply to eukaryotic, prokaryotic and protist cells: All forms of life contain one or more cells All cells come from pre-existing cells All functions that make life possible occur within the boundaries of cells All cells possess genetic material required to regulate cell functions and replicate, passing this genetic information to new cells Scientists have expanded and refined cell theory with the advent of advanced microscopy instruments, but these basic rules still apply to all cells. Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes – Similarities? Prokaryotic cells, like those in eukaryotic uni- and multi- cellular organisms contain ribosomes and DNA – genetic matter that control all cell functions, including replication. All cells require energy to survive and undergo chemical processes to sustain life. Biochemical processes often involve the use of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids for cell functions such as: Obtaining food Turning food into usable energy Cell growth Cell replication Elemental processes essential to the life – acquisition of energy, reproduction – are similar in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, regardless of the difference in structure and means."

He is admitted to a private room in a community hospital for adjustment of anti-seizure medication and to receive chemotherapy. Within 48 hours of admission D. F. develops a rash and fever. Initially, the rash is considered a drug reaction to the anti-seizure medicine and the fever is considered a reaction to the chemotherapy. D. F. complains of a severe headache. An infectious disease physician evaluates him. The differential includes meningitis and tumor. A lumbar puncture is performed to obtain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis. The CSF analysis shows elevated opening pressure, elevated protein, low glucose (hypoglycorrhachia), cloudy fluid and a positive Gram stain. Bacterial meningitis is the presumptive diagnosis."

There are three forms of fosfomycin: fosfomycin tromethamine (a soluble salt) and fosfomycin calcium for oral use, and fosfomycin disodium for intravenous use. Fosfomycin is a bactericidal antibiotic that interferes with cell wall synthesis in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting the initial step involving phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase. It has a broad spectrum of activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is highly active against Gram-positivepathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus, and against Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Its unique mechanism of action may provide a synergistic effect to other classes of antibiotics including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, andfluoroquinolones. Oral fosfomycin is mainly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections, particularly those caused by Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Intravenous fosfomycin has been administered in combination with other antibiotics for the treatment of nosocomial infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Fosfomycin has good distribution into tissues, achieving clinically relevant concentrations in serum, kidneys, bladder wall, prostate, lungs, inflamed tissues, bone, cerebrospinal fluid, abscess fluid, and heart valves. Fosfomycin is well tolerated, with a low incidence of adverse events."

These are effective against other species of bacteria and hence the term ‘antibiotics’. The discovery of antibiotics has led to increased use of the compounds as drugs. Amoxicillin and Penicillin are two such antibiotics. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic belonging to the group of penicillin. Other members of this class include ampicilli, piperacillin etc. All of them have similar mechanism of action. They do not kill bacteria, but stop the microbes from multiplying. This is achieved by preventing the microbes to build cell walls around them. The bacteria require cell walls for protection and rigidity."

In almost all electrical networks and electronic circuits they can be found. The resistance is measured in ohms. An ohm is the resistance that occurs when a current of one ampere passes through a resistor with a one volt drop across its terminals. The current is proportional to the voltage across the terminal ends. This ratio is represented by Ohm’s law: Resistors are used for many purposes. A few examples include delimit electric current, voltage division, heat generation, matching and loading circuits, control gain, and fix time constants. They are commercially available with resistance values over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude. They can be used to as electric brakes to dissipate kinetic energy from trains, or be smaller than a square millimeter for electronics."

At least when the engine blows up or the axle dies you can pull it apart,actually see the broken part, and replace the busted piece. You just can't normally see an electrical problem. It often requires meters and test lights to fix, and if you don't know what you are doing, you can do more damage than good. Over the many years we've been doing this, and the many Jeeps we've been doing it with, we have come across our fair share of electrical demons and figured we'd bring you the top 10 electrical problems, symptoms, and fixes for this special \"\"Most Asked\"\" issue. Goofy Gauges Symptom: Gauges function sporadically, Check Gauges light comes on, gauges die while driving Affected Model (s): TJs and '97-'01 Cherokees (more common on '99-and-earlier models) Cause: Dirty or loose instrument cluster plug Fix: Sometimes pulling your cluster out, cleaning the pins, and reinstalling it is good enough. We see the issue pretty frequently on the late '90s Jeeps, and less frequently as time goes on. The connector itself was updated and the updated connector is available from your dealership under PN 05016261 (connector patch harness). Foggy Hazards Symptom: Fog lights turn on even with Jeep off; hazard lights don't turn on or don't shut off Affected Model (s): '01-'06 Wranglers Cause: Dirty connections in steering column and/or in switches Fix: Blow compressed air into the headlight switch.

The blower motor is a fan housed in the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts, normally located behind the glove box. This uses a blower motor resistor to change the speed at which the fan operates. How does the heater blower motor resistor work? The air conditioning and heating controls allow the user to switch fan speeds, allowing the fan to spin faster or slower. It has this capability because the fan uses the blower motor resistor."

"text": "\"Fixing car heat issues Things to check first Steve Knickerbocker: First, make sure you have a thermostat and you're not low on coolant. If that checks out you can usually use a garden hose to blow the crud out of the heater core. I just had to do this on my Voyager and I've done it on my Dart. Sometimes it'll take quite a few alternations between heater core nipples to get clear water to flow. Mike Nakagawa: Sometimes, if the coolant level gets low, air gets trapped in the heater core because it is a high point in the system. The solution for this is to jack up the front of the car (ramps), remove the rad. cap, warm up the car and keep running with the heater on high. Low pressure without the cap will allow air to dissolve in the coolant and leak out at the open cap. Then watch that you don't get bubbles stuck near the thermostat when you close everything up. Squeeze the upper radiator hose [editor's note: CAREFULLY!"

Vuk Kostic / Shutterstock Zeus throwing lightning Zeus (a Greek god) is depicted here throwing lightning. However, the Romans would assume this was a depiction of Jupiter, the king of gods.

Like the Christian god, Jehovah, Zeus/Jupiter was considered the all-mighty father, but instead of being the father of man, he was the father of the lesser gods.

Flag Who is Hecate in Roman Mythology? Answer by Itako shiann Confidence votes 418Trivia in Roman mythology was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, the three-way crossroads, and the harvest moon. She was an underworld Titan-goddess who assisted Jove in the Titanomachy and was therefore able to keep her powers. She was a friend of Ceres and helped her find Ceres' daughter Proserpina. As a part of her role as an underworld goddess, she was known as the Queen of Ghosts. Although she helped Ceres find her daughter, she was also known to steal away young maidens to assist her in her powers. These women later became nymphs. One of the most famous was Phoebe, a daughter of Helios. It is also believed that Hecate came from a culture and mythology far older than even the Roman or Greeks, as it was common for other cultures to merge certain things into their new culture or religion3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

These groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or \"\"cults\"\" in the plural, though most of them shared similarities. Many ancient Greeks recognized the twelve major ( Olympian) gods and goddesses ( Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus ), although philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to assume a single transcendent deity. Different cities often worshiped the same deities, sometimes with epithets that distinguished them and specified their local nature. The religious practices of the Greeks extended beyond mainland Greece, to the islands and coasts of Ionia in Asia Minor, to Magna Graecia (Sicily and southern Italy), and to scattered Greek colonies in the Western Mediterranean, such as Massalia (Marseille). Greek religion was tempered by Etruscan cult and belief to form much of the later ancient Roman religion.

The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. The stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state. Heroism is an important theme. When the stories illuminate Roman religious practices, they are more concerned with ritual, augury, and institutions than with theology or cosmogony. [ 1]The study of Roman religion and myth is complicated by the early influence of Greek religion on the Italian peninsula during Rome's protohistory, and by the later artistic imitation of Greek literary models by Roman authors. In matters of theology, the Romans were curiously eager to identify their own gods with those of the Greeks ( interpretatio graeca ), and to reinterpret stories about Greek deities under the names of their Roman counterparts. [ 2] Rome's early myths and legends also have a dynamic relationship with Etruscan religion, less documented than that of the Greeks.

Another version, however, makes them children of a certain Centaurus, who mated with the Magnesian mares. This Centaurus was either himself the son of Ixion and Nephele (inserting an additional generation) or of Apollo and Stilbe, daughter of the river god Peneus. In the later version of the story his twin brother was Lapithes, ancestor of the Lapiths, thus making the two warring peoples cousins. Centaurs were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, the Foloi oak forest in Elis, and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia. Another tribe of centaurs was said to have lived on Cyprus.

The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. [ 2] A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back.

Important sensor classes include: Pain (nociceptors): They are common in the superficial portions of the skin, in joint capsules, within the periostea of bones, around the walls of blood vessels, plus a few in deep tissues or most visceral organs. These can produce fast pain (prickling) or slow pain (burning or aching). Temperature (thermoreceptors): They are free nerve endings scattered immediately beneath the skin surface and located in skeletal muscles, the liver, and hypothalamus. Cold receptors are three to four times more numerous than warm receptors, but there are no known structural differences between the two. Chemical stimuli (chemoreceptors): They respond only to water-soluble or lipid-soluble substances that are dissolved in surrounding fluid. There are no well-defined chemosensory pathways in the brain or spinal cord, with the exception of taste and smell. Neurons within the respiratory centers of the brain respond to concentrations of hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide molecules in the cerebrospinal fluid. Receptors in the periphery monitor the oxygen concentrations of arterial blood (found in carotid and aortic bodies)."

"text": "A sensory receptor is a structure that reacts to a physical stimulus in the environment, whether internal or external. It is a sensory nerve ending that receives information and conducts a process of generating nerve impulses to be transmitted to the brain for interpretation and perception. Sensory receptors vary in classifications but generally initiate the same process of registering stimuli and creating nerve signals.

Taste or gustatory receptors, odor or olfactory receptors have receptor molecules which undergo a process of binding to chemicals in the stimuli. For instance, the chemicals in food interaction with the taste receptors of the taste bud so that an action potential or a nerve signal can be created.

"text": "The Neuron Karl Muffly, in x Pharm: The Comprehensive Pharmacology Reference, 2007Neurons are often shaped according to their function. Unipolar (or pseudounipolar) neurons have a single axon, which bifurcates close to the cell body with one end typically extending centrally and the other extending towards the periphery ( Fig. 1 ). These cells tend to subserve sensory functions. Bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body and are associated with the retina, vestibular cochlear system, and olfactory epithelium; these cells are commonly interneurons. The third type of neuron is the multipolar neuron, which has many processes, but only one axon, extending from the cell body. These cells are the most numerous type of neuron, and are characteristic of spinal motor neurons, pyramidal neurons, and Purkinje cells. Read full chapter Clinical Neuroanatomy Igor M.

[ edit]We experience reality through our senses. Senses are the physiological methods of perception, so a sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields. Many neurologists disagree about how many senses there actually are due to a broad interpretation of the definition of a sense. Our senses are split into two different groups. Our exteroceptors detect stimulation from the outsides of our body. For example smell, taste, and equilibrium. The interoceptors receive stimulation from the inside of our bodies."

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

Of the variety of senses, the tactile sense is thought to play a key role for perceiving physical objects. Because most cockroach species are nocturnal, the tactile sense of the antenna would be essential to determine the position, shape, and texture of surrounding objects in the dark. Mechanoreceptors on the surface of the antenna are primarily responsible for the generation of tactile sense. In addition, the motor function of antenna also contributes to the active tactile sense (Staudacher et al. 2005; Comer and Baba 2011). The antennal movement is accompanied by the activation of proprioceptors at the antennal joints.

For the social and aesthetic aspects of \"\"taste\"\", see Taste (sociology). For other uses, see Taste (disambiguation). Taste bud Taste, gustatory perception, or gustation [1] is one of the five traditional senses that belongs to the gustatory system. Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds in the oral cavity, mostly on the tongue. Taste, along with smell ( olfaction) and trigeminal nerve stimulation (registering texture, pain, and temperature), determines flavors of food or other substances. Humans have taste receptors on taste buds (gustatory calyculi) and other areas including the upper surface of the tongue and the epiglottis. [ 2] [3] The gustatory cortex is responsible for the perception of taste. The tongue is covered with thousands of small bumps called papillae, which are visible to the naked eye. Within each papilla are hundreds of taste buds. ["

Peripheral taste receptors are found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, pharynx, and the upper part of the esophagus. Taste cells synapse with primary sensory axons that run in the chorda tympani and greater superficial petrosal branches of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve (Cranial nerve X) to innervate the taste buds in the tongue, palate, epiglottis, and esophagus respectively. The central axons of these primary sensory neurons in the respective cranial nerve ganglia project to rostral and lateral regions of the nucleus of the solitary tract in the medulla, which is also known as the gustatory nucleus of the solitary tract complex. Axons from the rostral (gustatory) part of the solitary nucleus project to the ventral posterior complex of the thalamus, where they terminate in the medial half of the ventral posterior medial nucleus.

"text": "Taste bud, small organ located on the tongue in terrestrial vertebrates that functions in the perception of taste. In fish, taste buds occur on the lips, the flanks, and the caudal (tail) fins of some species and on the barbels of catfish. Circumvallate papillae, located on the surface of the back part of the tongue, contain taste buds (indicated by asterisks). Specialized hairlike structures (microvilli) located at the surface of taste buds in minute openings called taste pores (indicated by arrows) detect dissolved chemicals ingested in food, leading to the activation of receptor cells in the taste buds and the sensation of taste. Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS)Read More on This Topichuman sensory reception: Taste (gustatory) sense…structures for taste are the taste bud s, clusters of cells contained in goblet-shaped structures called papillae that open by a small pore to the mouth cavity. A single taste bud contains about 50 to 75 slender taste receptor cells, all arranged in a banana-like cluster pointed toward the gustatory pore.…READ MORETaste receptor cells, with which incoming chemicals from food and other sources interact, occur on the tongue in groups of 50–150. Each of these groups forms a taste bud, which is grouped together with other taste buds into taste papillae. The taste buds are embedded in the epithelium of the tongue and make contact with the outside environment through a taste pore. Slender processes ( microvilli) extend from the outer ends of the receptor cells through the taste pore, where the processes are covered by the mucus that lines the oral cavity. At their inner ends the taste receptor cells synapse, or connect, with afferent sensory neurons, nerve cells that conduct information to the brain."

"text": "\"The Tongue and Taste Prev NEXT2007 How Stuff Works While the tongue's muscles guide food between the teeth and shape it so that it's digestible, the peripheral sense organ is perhaps better known for its role in the perception of taste. The tongue not only detects gustatory (taste) sensations, but also helps sense the tactile, thermal and even painful stimuli that give food its flavor. Most people mistake the bumpy structures that cover the tongue's surface for taste buds. These are actually papillae: goblet-shaped elevations that sometimes contain taste buds and help create friction between the tongue and food. Taste buds are smaller structures, tucked away in the folds between papillae. Every taste bud is made up of basal and supporting cells that help maintain about 50 gustatory receptor cells. These specialized receptors are stimulated by the chemical makeup of solutions. They respond to several primary tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami (savory) and fat, which some scientists claim might be a sixth taste. When a stimulus activates a gustatory cell, the receptor will synapse with neurons and send an electrical impulse to the gustatory region of the cerebral cortex. The brain interprets the sensation as taste."

Sensations, however -- responses to stimuli like pressure, light or chemical composition -- become perceptions like touch, vision or taste only when they reach the brain. Different stimuli activate different sensory receptors. Chemical stimuli activate the chemoreceptors responsible for gustatory and olfactory perceptions. Because taste and smell are both reactions to the chemical makeup of solutions, the two senses are closely related. If you've ever had a cold during Thanksgiving dinner, you know that all of the subtlety of taste is lost without smell. In some species, however, the two chemical senses are practically one. Invertebrates like worms do not have distinctions between gustatory and olfactory receptors. They instead differentiate between volatile and nonvolatile chemicals.

Remarkable advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of innate behavior and the underlying neural circuits. In particular, a wealth of neuromodulatory mechanisms have been uncovered that can alter the input–output relationship of a hereditary neural circuit. It is now clear that this inbuilt flexibility allows animals to modify their behavioral responses according to environmental cues, metabolic demands and physiological states. Here, we discuss recent insights into how modulation of neural circuits impacts innate behavior, with a special focus on how environmental cues and internal physiological states shape different aspects of feeding behavior in Drosophila. Previous article Next article Current Opinion in Neurobiology 2014, 29 :9–16This review comes from a themed issue on Neuromodulation Edited by David Mc Cormick and Michael P Nusbaum For a complete overview see the Issue and the Editorial Available online 4th May 2014http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conb.2014.04.0080959-4388/© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Introduction Innate behavior, programmed by genetically predetermined neural circuits, is robust and stereotyped. Although considered to be hardwired, innate behavior is also flexible and subject to modulation by internal states (e.g. satiety state) and external contexts of the stimuli (e.g. environmental cues) [ 1–6 ]. Dissecting the mechanisms whereby external and internal contexts of stimuli influence the behavioral outputs of a hardwired circuit might appear a daunting task. However, aided by powerful genetic tools, much progress has recently been made to address this fascinating question in genetic model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophlia melanogaster (for review, see [ 1,2,4,7 ])."

"text": "Posted: April 14, 2010 | Report This |Q. What is the recommended dosage for Vitamin B12? Related Topics: B12Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Therapeutic Research Center Medical Reference A. The following doses have been studied in scientific research: BY MOUTH: The typical general supplemental dose of vitamin B12 is 1-25 mcg per day. The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of vitamin B12 are: Infants 0-6 months, 0.4 mcg; infants 7-12 months, 0.5 mcg; children 1-3 years, 0.9 mcg; children 4-8 years, 1.2 mcg; children 9-13 years, 1.8 mcg; older children and adults, 2.4 mcg; pregnant women, 2.6 mcg; and breast-feeding women, 2.8 mcg. Because 10% to 30% of older people do not absorb food-bound vitamin B12 efficiently, those over 50 years should meet the RDA by eating foods fortified with B12 or by taking a vitamin B12 supplement. Supplementation of 25-100 mcg per day has been used to maintain vitamin B12 levels in older people. For vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia: cyanocobalamin doses of 300-10,000 mcg (microgram) daily have been used. However, some evidence suggests that the most effective oral dose is between 647-1032 mcg/day. For high blood levels of homocysteine: vitamin B12 500 mcg in combination with 0.5-5 mg folic acid and 16.5 mg pyridoxine has been used. APPLIED TO THE SKIN: For atopic dermatitis (eczema): a specific vitamin B12 0.07% cream (Regividerm) applied twice daily has been used. For psoriasis: a specific cream (Regividerm, Regeneratio Pharma AG, Wuppertal, Germany) containing avocado oil plus vitamin B12 0.7 mg/gram applied for 12 weeks twice daily has been used."

It is the generic name for six compounds (vitamers) with vitamin B6 activity: pyridoxine, an alcohol; pyridoxal, an aldehyde; and pyridoxamine, which contains an amino group; and their respective 5’-phosphate esters. Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine 5’ phosphate (PMP) are the active coenzyme forms of vitamin B6 [ 1, 2 ]. Substantial proportions of the naturally occurring pyridoxine in fruits, vegetables, and grains exist in glycosylated forms that exhibit reduced bioavailability [ 3 ]. Vitamin B6 in coenzyme forms performs a wide variety of functions in the body and is extremely versatile, with involvement in more than 100 enzyme reactions, mostly concerned with protein metabolism [ 1 ]. Both PLP and PMP are involved in amino acid metabolism, and PLP is also involved in the metabolism of one-carbon units, carbohydrates, and lipids [ 3 ]. Vitamin B6 also plays a role in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and in maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood [ 3 ]. Vitamin B6 is involved in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, immune function (for example, it promotes lymphocyte and interleukin-2 production), and hemoglobin formation [ 3 ]. The human body absorbs vitamin B6 in the jejunum."

The common forms of vitamin B include vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cyanocobalamin). Except for niacin (when given in high doses), there is no evidence that the other B vitamins, in physiologic or even super-physiologic, high doses, cause liver injury or jaundice. The major forms of vitamin B and selected other water soluble vitamins (biotin, pantothenic acid, choline) are discussed briefly in this record. Vitamin B1, Thiamine Thiamine (or thiamin) (thye' a min) is a water soluble B vitamin found in whole grains, legumes, yeast, beef and pork. Thiamine was the first B vitamin to be discovered and was designated vitamin B1. Thiamine is required in amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism and is active in energy generation reactions. Thiamine deficiency is rare, but can occur in malnourished patients due to chronic alcoholism or cancer chemotherapy with poor dietary intake. Populations and cultures that rely heavily upon rice based diets are at increased risk of thiamine deficiency. Classic thiamine deficiency causes the symptom complex known as beriberi (“weak, weak”), marked by variable degrees of weight loss, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, apathy, muscle weakness and painful peripheral neuropathy."

Getting the recommended amounts of vitamins each day is an important part of the nutrition equation, and B vitamins are essential for preventive care. Abundant in green vegetables, whole or enriched grains, dairy, and meats, B vitamins help promote a healthy metabolism and are also linked to a reduced risk of stroke, research shows. Take vitamin B12, for example. According to the Mayo Clinic, vitamin B12, a water-soluble vitamin, plays a significant role in nerve function, the formation of red blood cells, and the production of DNA. While most people get plenty of vitamin B12 benefits in a varied, balanced diet, if you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet, you are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency. Also, elderly adults and people with GI disorders lack adequate B12. Signs of vitamin B12 deficiency include: Anemia Confusion Dementia Depression Difficulty maintaining balance Fatigue Intestinal problems Mood disturbances Muscle weakness Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet Poor memory Soreness of the mouth or tongue Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is vital for normal brain development and for keeping the immune system and nervous system working properly. Most people who eat poultry, fish, potatoes, chickpeas, and bananas have enough vitamin B6. But certain illnesses, such as kidney disease and malabsorption syndromes, can lead to vitamin B6 deficiency."

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a health condition that commonly occurs in children. It is characterized by reduced attention span, concentration problems, excessive talking, learning disabilities, lack of memory, and poor judgment. There are several theories related to the cause of attention disorder in children and adults. These include genetic factors, excessive sugar intake, allergies, lack of oxygen at birth, lead poisoning and deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamins play a vital role in maintaining a good balance in children with ADHD. There are several types of vitamins that can be used to help the brain function properly and are essential for those who want a natural alternative to treat ADHD in children. Among other vitamins, the B vitamins (B12 and B6) are known to effectively support ADHD symptoms. How the B Vitamins Work The B vitamins have two major mechanisms of correcting the nutritional imbalances which contribute to ADHD symptoms. First, they help regulate carbohydrate metabolism."

By Laurie Tarkan Facebook Pinterest Email Though it won't replace healthy eating, a prenatal supplement is essential. Here's expert advice to help you choose a good one. Q: How early in my pregnancy should I begin taking a prenatal vitamin? A: Start three months before you begin trying to get pregnant, if possible. \"\" The egg starts maturing about three months before it's released, and it's critical that the proper nutrients are present during the earliest stages,\"\" says OB-GYN Robert Greene, M. D., medical director of the Sher Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Sacramento, Calif. \"\"Neural-tube defects [such as spina bifida] happen in the first four to six weeks of pregnancy,\"\" says Sudeep Kukreja, M. D., associate director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at CHOC Children's in Orange, Calif. If you think you're pregnant and are not taking a supplement, don't wait until your first appointment for a prescription because you will have missed this critical developmental period. Start taking an over-the-counter folic acid supplement with 600 micrograms (mcg) right away. Q: What are the most important vitamins and minerals and why? A: \"\"The three most important nutrients, based on very good research, are folic acid, iron and calcium,\"\" says Kukreja. Folic acid helps prevent neural-tube defects; iron is important for the delivery of oxygen to the baby and prevents anemia in the mom; and calcium helps build your baby's bones and prevents bone loss in the mother."

Your doctor will tell you that this stubborn virus can cause illness for several weeks to months and can cause blindness if it affects the eyes. Shingles are caused by the Herpes varicella-zoster virus--the same virus that causes chicken pox. When we get chicken pox as a child, all of the virus may not be destroyed by our immune system and it may lie dormant in the nerves of the skin for decades only to emerge as shingles when we get older. It is generally seen in people who are immune-compromised, under too much stress or who have been exposed to the chicken pox virus again. Now that children are vaccinated against chicken pox, experts believe we will see more shingles in the future due to the fact that the children did not build enough immunity from the virus. Vaccines do not provide the same strong immunity we see when we have been contracted a disease and survived. Herpes varicella-zoster infection of the central nervous system begins with fatigue and fever, and the affected skin may be very sensitive to touch."

The types and amounts of vitamins vary according to the variety of fish. The vitamins found in fish help support many of your body functions, including maintaining a healthy immune system and manufacturing new cells and proteins. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Vitamin B-6Tuna and trout are particularly rich sources of the water-soluble vitamin B-6. USDA reports that a 3-oz. serving of baked or broiled tuna contains 0.8 mg of vitamin B-6, more than 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance established by the Institute of Medicine. A similar serving of trout contains 0.6 mg of vitamin B-6. Cod and swordfish are also rich in vitamin B-6, with 0.4 mg and 0.3 mg per 3-oz."

But for most men, multivitamins are an afterthought these days. That’s why we asked two dietitians—Dawn Jackson Blatner, R. D., nutrition consultant for the Chicago Cubs, and Dave Grotto, R. D., author of 101 Optimal Life Foods —to help us navigate the multivitamin aisle. Related: The 7 Best Supplements For Men Here are the products that rose above the rest. Subscribe Rainbow Light Men’s One1/9 Image courtesy of Rainbow Light Rainbow Light Men’s One Key Ingredients: Vitamin A (5000 IU), Vitamin D (800 IU), Vitamin E (30 IU), Vitamin B12 (25 mcg), Zinc (20 mg), Choline (20 mg), Lycopene (1000 mcg)Why It's a Good Buy: Blatner likes this brand for meeting vitamin A, D, and E shortfalls, while providing some digestive enzymes and probiotics. Grotto praises Rainbow Light for avoiding the “bells and whistles” other brands rely on, such as saw palmetto and green tea extract. Instead, you’ll find add-ins like lycopene, a nutrient found in tomatoes, which some studies have correlated with lower cancer and heart disease risk.

In German documents, and signage at ghetto entrances, the Nazis usually referred to them as Jüdischer Wohnbezirk or Wohngebiet der Juden, both of which translate as the Jewish Quarter. There were several distinct types including open ghettos, closed ghettos, work, transit, and destruction ghettos, as defined by the Holocaust historians. In a number of cases, they were the place of Jewish underground resistance against the German occupation, known collectively as the ghetto uprisings.

[ 3] However, soon after the 1939 German invasion of Poland, the Nazis began to designate areas of larger Polish cities and towns as exclusively Jewish, and within weeks, embarked on a massive programme of uprooting Polish Jews from their homes and businesses through forcible expulsions. The entire Jewish communities were deported into these closed off zones by train from their places of origin systematically, using Orpo battalions, [4] first in the Reichsgaue, and then throughout the Generalgouvernement territory. [ 5]The first ghetto of World War II was established on 8 October 1939 at Piotrków Trybunalski (38 days after the invasion), [6] with the Tuliszków ghetto established in December 1939. The first large metropolitan ghetto known as the Łódź Ghetto ( Litzmannstadt) followed them in April 1940, and the Warsaw Ghetto in October."

There are an estimated 9.5 million Polish Americans, representing about 3% of the U. S. population. [ 1] [3]Polish Americans are the largest Slavic ethnic group in the United States, second largest Central European group and the eighth largest immigrant group overall. The first Polish settlers arrived at Walter Raleigh 's failed Roanoke Colony in 1585. [ 4] [5] In 1608 Polish settlers came to the Virginia Colony as skilled craftsmen. Two early immigrants, Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko, led armies in the Revolutionary War and are remembered as national heroes. Overall, more than one million Poles and Polish subjects have immigrated to the United States, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exact immigration numbers are unknown. Many immigrants were classified as \"\"Russian\"\", \"\"German\"\", and \"\"Austrian\"\" by the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service as the Polish state did not exist from 1795 to 1918, and thus the former territories of Poland at this time were under Prussian, Austrian-Hungarian and Russian control. Complicating the U. S. Census figures further are the high proportion of Polish Americans who marry outside their ethnicity; in 1940, about 50 percent married other American ethnics, and a study in 1988 found that 54 percent of Polish Americans three generations or higher had been of mixed ancestry."

"text": "Travel United States Chicago How long will it take me to drive from NYC to Chicago?if me and my bf drive to chicago from new york, about how long do you think it'll take? it's about 800 or so miles, and also do you know how the roads are in chicago this time of year? is it snowy at all times during the winter? thanks2 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I've made the drive every year during the holidays for the past 10 years or so and it usually takes me about 12 hours, give or take, cruising between 70 and 75. That includes a couple of fill-ups for gas, a couple of fast-food fixes, and as many restroom breaks as necessary. This time of year, you may get some snow, but you're driving on I-80 most of the way, and that's a major artery that's kept well salted and clear of snow if it gets really bad. Check the interstate travel link on weather.com before you leave: http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/cities?ix=80®=us&dir=ew If you're doing the drive in one shot, I recommend getting a good night's sleep and leaving NYC early in the morning (say 6am) to avoid morning rush traffic, then you'll get to Chicago at roughly 5pm CST, just in time for dinner. If you can't handle 12 straight hours in the car, plan ahead and get a room somewhere along the way, like in Youngstown, OH or Cleveland. Have some cash for the tolls (about $9.25 in Ohio, $4.25 in Indiana). If you have EZ-Pass, it'll work for the toll booths in Illinois - look for the IPass signs."

Rochelle, Illinois The well-known Rochelle Railroad Park is located at the crossing of Union Pacific's busy ex-Chicago & Northwestern main line to Omaha and BNSF's ex-Burlingtion route to the Twin Cities. The park features a viewing area under a canopy, a gift shop, restrooms and free parking. The viewing area is usually full of people, not all of whom are knowledgeable about railroads nor interested in the trains, and some purists still prefer the old viewing area in the northeast quadrant along the UP tracks. For full particulars about the park, go to: ROCHELLE RAILROAD PARK. Kankakee, Illinois Canadian National's ex-Illinois Central main line here crosses Norfolk Southern's ex-Conrail ex-NYC Kankakee Belt Line. In addition, short line Kankakee, Beaverville & Southern's track feeds into CN just south of the crossing. The KBS track is the former Conrail, NYC Big Four route to Lafayette, Indiana, and Indianapolis (the line is now abandoned south of Lafayette). Activity is moderate here; CN runs about 20 to 25 trains a day, including Amtrak's Illini, Saluki and City of New Orleans."

"text": "\"Top positive review See all 51 positive reviews ›16 people found this helpful5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for i PHONE 3gs By Marco on June 17, 2013I bought this to try and save some money on my teenage son's phone plan. I was using an ATT pay as you go sim card in his i Phone, but this past May I noticed I had to refill it alot ($40 worth). So I figured I'll give the Airvoice wireless sim a try (can't go wrong for a $5 investment). I read that Airvoice piggybacks on AT&T's network so a 3GS i Phone shouldn't be a problem. I got the sim card and went onto Airvoice's website to activate it. I popped it into my son's Iphone and it worked. Now I'm not super tech savy and honestly, I was actually pretty surprised as to how easy it went. I signed up for the $10 a month plan and it took my about 23 days for my teenager to chew through it. But it's still a much cheaper alternative, and there is no difference in signal strength. I puchashed two more and they should be arriving this week."

"text": "SIM win What is a SIM card and what does it do? Daniel Bader, Georgia3 Dec 20170What exactly is a SIM card? You know, the little piece of plastic found in the metal pullout on the right side of your i Phone or cellular i Pad? The short answer: it's a Subscriber Identity Module, a small circuit board in most modern phones to communicate with your carrier. Practically speaking, it is a middleman between two pieces of hardware: the phone's baseband chip, and your carrier's cell towers, allowing the two to communicate. SIM cards allow you to travel between phones with your phone number and data plans; when you upgrade to a new i Phone, the SIM card travels (as long as it is the same size). A SIM card is internationally identified by its Integrated circuit card identifier (ICC-ID), which is engraved on the body of the card. It is also identified by the carrier with its International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). Essentially, these two numbers tell the carrier that your phone is allowed to operate on its network and, once connected, should be billed for certain features. Beyond identification, SIM cards have several other functions."

"text": "ALDI Medion 4″ Smartphone — Review Chris Rowland 25 August 2013 (Legacy - Do not use) Design / Reviews 40 Comments This year, 2013, has seen the launch of some fantastic smartphones. So far, we’ve seen the Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One as the real class-leaders, and Ausdroid has reviewed each of them in depth, and even done a large comparison of each of these three super-phones. However these three phones had (at the time of launch, at least) one factor that really countered against them for many, many people. That’s the cost. These three smartphones launched with price tags measured in hundreds — the HTC One and Galaxy S4 were each over $800 at launch, and still remain highly priced. Android can certainly be enjoyed on these devices, but not everyone can afford them. So, from time to time, we like to look at the other end of the market and check out what bang you can get for fewer bucks. Low price smartphones usually mean low quality, performance and generally poor smartphones, but this isn’t always so. Sometimes a gem sneaks by and manages to surprise. Herewith, the Medion 4″ Smartphone (E4002) sold through ALDI stores nationally."

"text": "\"Last updated March 06, 2018 12:07 by Suzanne Thomas1. What do the terms CDMA and GSM mean? CDMA and GSM are two types of cellular phone networks and, generally, if you have a device made for one, then it can't be used on the other. In the US, Sprint®* and Verizon run on CDMA networks while AT&T and T-Mobile run on GSM networks. When someone says “unlocked” in reference to a smartphone, they’re probably talking about a GSM device. It's also easier to move GSM phones from one carrier to another whereas it's much harder (and sometimes impossible) to do that for CDMA devices.2. Do I need a new SIM card if I want to use a GSM device on Ting? Yup. No matter where you're coming from (i.e. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, or elsewhere), you need a new Ting GSM X1 SIM card (which can break into mini, micro, and nano sizes).3. How do I check if my device is compatible?"

"text": "Samsung Geeks | On 07, Oct 2014We’ve been contacted by literally hundreds of you asking us about SIM unlocking. So here it is – a Samsung Geeks tutorial giving you the lowdown on how to SIM unlock a Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, Note 3 and various other Galaxy phones for FREE. Why is my Samsung Galaxy Phone SIM Locked? One of the biggest frustrations for Samsung users is finding that their Galaxy phone is SIM locked to a particular network. This is great for the individual networks because it allows them to provide subsidised phones for their customers. Unfortunately it tends to be bad news for the customer because there are no guarantees that a new SIM card from a new network will work with your phone. In fact, there’s every chance that it won’t work. In this article we’ll be exploring various options that are available to you. We know that this is a real gripe among Samsung users and so we wanted to provide you with the best resources to work out how to unlock the Samsung Galaxy phone that you have. Whilst some of you are interested in finding out how to SIM unlock a Samsung Galaxy S5 or Note 4, unlocking tends to be more of an issue for those of us with slightly older models – usually because you’ve come to the end of a fixed contract or because you want to give your phone to a friend or family member."

It says that consumers have been faced with significant bills - one man said he was charged £12,000 for his daughter's use of a mobile phone taken out in his name in Egypt - and that there are large disparities in tariffs charged between operators. It is calling for an industry-wide cap on data roaming charges around the world. Here we offer advice on what you can do to minimise your bill while staying connected this summer. What is data roaming? Data roaming is your tablet or phone’s use of a mobile network it does not own to send and receive data. It is how mobile users are able to surf the internet, download emails and music, refresh social media feeds, and upload pictures to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook while abroad. However, the charges for doing this can be very high. Downloading music and using the Internet on tablets can be exceedingly expensive on foreign holidays (AP)How much does it cost? Within the EU, data roaming charges are capped as follows, plus VAT where it applies."

Hello, and thank you for using this service. I'll be helping you with your problem today. To replace the relay bord you have to uninstall the entire oven and remove the screws coming in from the top panel. Remove the top panel and then you'll see the relay board and you ca replace it. There is no way to jsut replace the relay control board from the front.

( a bit technical ..)Posted by Alison P on September 24, 2014 at 12:24 in Share, Give & Ask - Skills & Goods View Discussions We've just bought a new oven but it couldn't be installed because I'd not appreciated the difference between an appliance needing to be hardwired vs plugged in (albeit to a dedicated cooker plug with a 13 amp fuse). So back the oven went. That will teach me .. The problem now is that I'm finding it hard to find an oven I like which is described suitable for a 13 amp fuse. I've had advice from one electrician that anything up to 3.0 kw is fine for 13 amps, and he observed that the manufacturers often overstate the ampage (?) ' just to be safe'. Has anyone else any experience of this? The oven I want is 2.9 kw but says it should have a 16 amp fuse, and when I called the manufacturers to check they just said that 2.9 kw and 1.3 amp was 'borderline', hence their recommendation of 16. Any thoughts very welcome, though appreciate this might not be the right forum! If we did need to up the ampage what would that involve - would it mean rewiring that socket?"

"text": "Modulating Control of Fire & Smoke Dampers in Smoke Control Posted on Tue,Aug 19, 2014 @ 10:00 AMTweet Introduction In the US, Canada, and Latin America fire, smoke, and combination fire and smoke dampers are used in two general categories: Containment of fire and/or smoke to maintain building compartmentation. These are installed based on Chapter 7 of the International Building Code (IBC) which is the primary model code. These are sometimes referred to as passive systems although the dampers do close and fire alarms operate when a smoke detector operates. Engineered smoke control systems use dampers, fans, and some architectural features in a wide variety of applications. These are based on Chapter 9 of the IBC. In the Americas smoke dampers are always actuated; fire dampers use mechanical means of sensing heat (fusible links that melt and gravity or spring release for closure). They and can be actuated for ease of periodic inspection and maintenance. Smoke must be sensed using electrical sensing – smoke detectors. Spring return actuators are used to close the dampers and then the actuator motor used to open the damper. Combination fire and smoke dampers are actuated due to the smoke function."

"text": "\"Upgrading your headlights with Bosch Relays for brighter lights As part of the wiring upgrades on my car, I'm also installing a set of headlight relays to take some of the load off of the OEM wiring setup so that the headlights will run brighter. This is accomplished with relays, which use the original headlight power wires as switching leads only. The relays get their voltage directly from the battery and provide it to the headlights without having to run through the old wiring harness. Since activating the relay is a really low voltage, low draw circuit, there's lots of power left for stuff run off of the fuse panel. I'm using Bosch 30amp relays for the switching relays along with relay pigtails that I picked up at NAPA. The pigtails were actually more expensive than the relays themselves, but they will save me a lot of effort when completing the wiring. Some time ago on Steve's Nova Site, someone suggested mounting the relays in an old voltage regular casing, if you're using an internally regulated alterator, is a good way to hide the relays in order to clean the installation up. I thought this was a great idea, so I'm proceeding that way. Here's what the voltage regular looked like installed in the car before I tore the car down for its restification. Here's a picture showing the voltage regulator torn apart."

Because of the many different manufacturers, there are many ways in which the door attaches to the oven and many ways of disassembling the door. The door connects to the oven with two hinges toward the bottom. Most oven doors will disconnect by lifting the hinge off a bracket while others may secure with screws.

"text": "What is a relay ? A relay is usually an electromechanical device that is actuated by an electrical current. The current flowing in one circuit causes the opening or closing of another circuit. Relays are like remote control switches and are used in many applications because of their relative simplicity, long life, and proven high reliability. Relays are used in a wide variety of applications throughout industry, such as in telephone exchanges, digital computers and automation systems. Highly sophisticated relays are utilized to protect electric power systems against trouble and power blackouts as well as to regulate and control the generation and distribution of power. In the home, relays are used in refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, and heating and air-conditioning controls. Although relays are generally associated with electrical circuitry, there are many other types, such as pneumatic and hydraulic. Input may be electrical and output directly mechanical, or vice versa.

"text": "How To Fix Your Electric Oven By Brett Freeman Toolbox Print Email Share it Get help If your electric oven recently started performing poorly, or even stopped working altogether, fixing it yourself might be simpler than you think. An oven, after all, is basically just an insulated box with a heating element and a thermostat. This means there are only a few things that could possibly be wrong with it, and the solution in most cases is identifying and replacing whichever component is failing. Power Failure If your oven won't heat at all, the most likely problem is a blown fuse or a burnt out element. Assuming you're not attempting to repair an antique, your oven will have a clock. If it has also stopped working, it's safe to assume the oven is not getting electricity. Check your circuit breaker box and reset the breaker if necessary and see if this fixes the problem. If not, cut power to the oven at the breaker box before going any further. Note that your oven runs on 220 volts. There should be a double switch on the circuit breaker board controlling power to it."

This Fact Sheet covers all of the types of switches and relays that contain mercury in the individual devices; the total amount of mercury in all of the devices that were sold as new in the U. S. in 2001, 2004, and 2007; companies that have phased-out the products' manufacture and sale; and non-mercury alternative devices. The information in this Fact Sheet is based on data submitted to the state members of the Interstate Mercury Education and Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) 1 including Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The data is available online through the IMERC Mercury-Added Products Database. 2A number of important caveats must be considered when reviewing the data summarized in this Fact Sheet: The information may not represent the entire universe of mercury-containing switches and relays sold in the U. S. The IMERC-member states continuously receive new information from mercury-added product manufacturers, and the data presented in this Fact Sheet may underestimate the total amount of mercury sold in this product category. The information summarizes mercury use in switches and relays sold nationwide since 2001. It does not include mercury-added switches and relays sold prior to January 1, 2001 or exported outside of the U. S. Reported data includes only mercury that is used in the product, and does not include mercury emitted during mining, manufacturing, or other points in the products' life cycle. Mercury Components in Cooking Ranges Switches are products or devices that open or close an electrical circuit, or a liquid or gas valve. Mercury-added switches include float switches, actuated by a change in liquid levels; tilt switches, actuated by a change in the switch position; pressure switches, actuated by a change in pressure; and temperature switches and flame sensors, actuated by a change in temperature. Mercury switches are used in a variety of consumer, commercial, and industrial products, including appliances, space heaters, ovens, air handling units, security systems, leveling devices, and pumps."

Introduction A \"\"hockey puck\"\" SSR, so named because of its thick shape and black color. They are specifically designed to switch either AC loads or DC loads, but never both. Solid state relays (SSRs) turn on or off the power being supplied to other devices, in a similar fashion as a physical switch. However, instead of being switched by human interaction like a physical switch, SSRs are switched electronically. With SSRs, you can control high-current devices such as lights or appliances with low-current signals, like a standard DC signal from a digital output. Many SSRs will switch on with a voltage of 3V or higher. This makes them perfect for use with the Outputs on Phidget Interface Kits, or any other device with a digital output, such as the OUT1100 - Digital Output Phidget. Using the ports of a VINT Hub in digital output mode may not work, since they may not provide enough power to activate the SSR. If your digital output is not powerful enough, you may want to connect an external MOSFET to switch a more suitable supply to control the SSR."

Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal, or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations."

"text": "Amazon Best-Seller Rank: How the Top 20% of Authors Earn 76% of All Royalties Imran Esmail December 1, 2015 Kindle Publishing 2 Comments This past week, as required by Amazon, I had to determine two categories for my latest book, “ Quora Domination: How Top Writers Get 1,000,000 Views and Featured in Forbes ” and decided to really dig in and figure out how the Amazon Best-Seller Rank works. Here’s what I found…Getting to Know Amazon Best-Seller Rank First off, we need to understand what exactly is the Amazon Best-Seller Rank. Knowing how it works will allow us to figure out what category selection is optimal for our book. On the surface, it’s really simple. Each book across the entire Kindle store is given a rank upwards from one. If you go to the sales page for your book, under “Product Details” you’ll see it: This rank (both free and paid) is based PURELY on unit sales, and has nothing to do with reviews and ratings. That being said, having more reviews DOES impact the perception of your book and can lead to extra sales which in turn leads to your book moving up the rank. Moreover, the Amazon Best-Seller Rank is not representative of cumulative sales volume but strictly the most recent sales. According to Amazon, the Amazon Best-seller Rank is re-calculated hourly. Another article on Web Pro News, claims that only the top 10,000 books are re-calculated hourly while books ranked 10,000+ are only re-calculated on a daily basis."

Whether you're making it to bottle for friends as gifts, or whether you like to save money or whether you're a whiz in the kitchen that knows the best ingredients help make the best meals then this is just what you're looking for. What Vanilla Beans to Use To make your own vanilla you should start with a good quality vanilla bean. If this is your first time making vanilla I would suggest the Madagascar vanilla beans (shown right). It's the most common variety which accounts for over 60% of vanilla beans on the market and the one used in most store-bought vanilla extracts. Vanilla beans are usually hand-pollinated and hand-harvested. This extra care is what adds to the cost of producing the pure vanilla extract you've always purchased. One thing you'll want to know (to save you money) is that you want to purchase extract grade vanilla beans. These are a hundred times cheaper than the A-grade/Premium beans that cost about $6 each in most grocery stores. Aren't A-grade vanilla beans better?"

It’s not all been great news for sellers though, with an increasing number of Amazon accounts being hit with the dreaded Amazon account suspension. What can you do? This blog post will detail how you can protect your Amazon seller account and how you can get your account reinstated including what to include in your plan of action (more on that later). Every day hundreds of honest third-party sellers get suspended, denied or banned by Amazon. What’s the difference? Suspension means you still have a chance to appeal. You’ll need to work a plan of action. Denied means your appeal was rejected but you still have a chance to submit a revised plan of action. Banned is the worst scenario of the three."

We came to these conclusions after speaking with magazine test kitchen editors, chef instructors, and restaurant pros. If you could only have one all-purpose spatula, we’re confident that the Victorinox Chef’s Slotted Fish Turner is the best for your kitchen. It has the perfect combination of flexibility and strength to tackle everything from turning delicate fish in a pan to flipping pancakes. If you want to fully equip your spatula arsenal, we also suggest the GIR Ultimate 11-Inch Flip Spatula for nonstick cookware, the GIR Silicone Spatula for scraping bowls, and the Winco TN719 Blade Hamburger Turner for the griddle or grill.

"text": "\"Marcus Wohlsen business 06.16.14 06:30 am A Rare Peek Inside Amazon's Massive Wish-Fulfilling Machine The vast intake bay, where products come to Amazon for sorting, storing, and delivering. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WIREDThe first thing I saw when I walked into Amazon's Phoenix warehouse was a man riding on a giant tricycle. Behind him, yellow plastic tubs the size of office recycling bins whizzed by on a conveyor belt. On the wall above, six massive words called out to the 1,500 workers who pass through metal detectors each day as they enter this million-square-foot cavern of consumerism: \"\"work hard. have fun. make history. \"\" Tricycle aside, the \"\"fun\"\" quotient was hard to spot. But I couldn't help but register a certain historical significance to the operation humming inside this enormous building erected in the industrial flats of Phoenix. The Amazon warehouse–known in company jargon as a \"\"fulfillment center,\"\" or FC–is a uniquely 21st-century creation, a vast, networked, intelligent engine for sating consumer desire. The FC is the anchor of Amazon's physical operations, the brick and mortar behind the virtual button you tap on your phone to summon a watch or a shirt or a garden hose or Cards Against Humanity or just about anything else to your doorstep."

"text": "106SHARESFacebook Twitter Google Want to Increase your Natural Testosterone Production? This Course Teaches You Everything there is to Know about Boosting T-Levels Naturally. Sadly, most guys who start optimizing their natural testosterone production, don’t really know how the hormone works and is produced in the first place. Even though the process is the exact thing that they’re trying to optimize, hack, fix, or whatever. To put it simply, this is the most important thing you have to fully understand before you even begin to read anything about diet, supplementation, lifestyle changes, etc. So pay close attention: What Actually is Testosterone Testosterone is the principal male sex steroid hormone. It belongs to the group of androgens, which simply means that it belongs to the group of other male hormones (DHEA, DHT, etc). Testosterone is found in both men and women, but men have about 10 times more of it, and obviously men are the gender that benefits more of having high levels of the principal male hormone. Testosterone – and many other androgens – are most known for their effects on sexual characteristics. Simply put, testosterone is the hormone that makes us men."

"text": "Testosterone insufficiency in women: fact or fiction? By André Guay and Susan R. Davis Excerpt from World Journal of Urology 2002. 20:106-110It has become apparent that androgens play a significant role in women’s health. More than the expected level of androgens in a woman’s blood stream causes obvious symptoms of androgen excess; less readily apparent are the consequences of female androgen deficiency. The symptoms are subtle, affecting a woman’s sexual desire, satisfaction, and mood, and are commonly mistaken as signs of an underlying depression, prompting referral for counseling and psychotherapy, when hormone measurements would be more appropriate and more fruitful. Androgen deficiency in women is a topic that the medical community has been slow to address. This is partially attributed to the fact that the most common symptom is decreased libido, a very common nonspecific complaint that has long been associated with the psychological issues of stress and depression. One of the earliest reports showing an association between decreased sexual desire and decreased testosterone in women was published in 1959, but acceptance of this association has been slow. However, more evidence now shows that many women-pre-menopausal and post-menopausal-do suffer from androgen deficiency. Because the symptoms of such a deficiency resemble those of depression, misdiagnosis and lack of treatment are common."

Patient information: See related handout on testosterone therapy, written by the authors of this article. Testosterone treatment is controversial for men and even more so for women. Although long-term outcome data are not available, prescriptions for testosterone are becoming more common. Testosterone is used primarily to treat symptoms of sexual dysfunction in men and women and hot flashes in women. Potential benefits include improved libido, increased bone mass, and increased sense of well-being. In individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection or other chronic diseases, testosterone has been shown to improve mood and energy levels, even in patients with normal testosterone levels."

"text": "What is hormone pellet therapy? Hormone pellet therapy utilizes hormone pellets which are bio-identical forms of estrogen and testosterone to bring hormones back into a healthy balance. Compounded into tiny pellets by a compounding pharmacist under sterile conditions, hormone pellets are the size of a grain of rice, and are placed under the skin during an office visit. The hormones that are contained in the pellets are released into the blood over the next several months, and this method of release maintains a more constant physiologic level of hormones in your body. How are hormone pellets made? The hormones and pellets utilized in hormone pellet therapy are derived from soybeans, and are biologically identical to human forms of estradiol and testosterone. The pellets are manufactured in a sterile environment using strict guidelines to ensure proper dosage. The pellets will dissolve completely with time and do not have to be removed. How is hormone pellet therapy different from other hormone therapy? Hormones can be administered using pills, patches, injections, and creams."

Testosterone cypionate first appeared on the U. S. prescription drug market during the early 1950’s, as Depo-Testosterone by Upjohn, now Pharmacia & Upjohn. Due to testosterone cypionate’s vast similarity to the earlier released and slightly longer testosterone enanthate, it has received only limited global availability and is often identified as an American medication. Testosterone is the primary androgen found in the body. Endogenous testosterone is synthesized by cells in the testis, ovary, and adrenal cortex. Therapeutically, testosterone is used in the management of hypogonadism, either congenital or acquired. Testosterone is also the most effective exogenous androgen for the palliative treatment of carcinoma of the breast in postmenopausal women. Testosterone was in use in 1938 and approved by the FDA in 1939. Anabolic steroids, derivatives of testosterone, have been used illicitly and are now controlled substances. Testosterone, like many anabolic steroids, was classified as a controlled substance in 1991."

"text": "OVERVIEWErectile Dysfunction (ED), sometimes called impotence is a repeated inability to achieve or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word impotence may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as a lack of sexual desires and problems with ejaculation and orgasm but the term Erectile Dysfunction is more precise because it refers only to erection problems. Men with erection problems often retain other sexual functions. For example, they may have sexual desire and may still be able to have orgasms and ejaculate semen. It is estimated that about thirty million men in the United States experience chronic erectile dysfunction. Studies show that about half of the men between the ages of 40 and 70 have ED to some degree. Until recently, there was only a little choice of treatment in cases of diminished erection or impotence. Fortunately, times have changed. Due to the fact that research has been successful over the years, men may now be treated for this problem. Possible therapies include medications, injections, sexual counseling and surgery."

Photography Credit: Elise Bauer We don’t have American lobsters out here in California. ( Well we do, but they’re shipped in from New England, and frankly they just aren’t as good as lobsters bought near the sea shore on the East Coast. ) So whenever I’m in New England in the summer (according to my local friends, summer is the best time for lobsters, they’re more plentiful and therefore less expensive) I make a point to have some. Now, there are many ways to cook lobster, and probably just as many ways to eat them. Boiling is the most straightforward way to cook lobster, though you can easily steam them too. I like my lobster dipped in hot melted butter, so that’s what is presented here. Some people just like a squirt of lemon juice, or dipped in mayonnaise. Some people meticulously extract the meat from every little leg."

Place up to 4 average size tails in top steam colander and cover the pot. Lobster will turn red and the flesh becomes white. Allow to steam 1-1/2 minutes per ounce. Once heated, take the steam colander to the sink and run cold water over them which stop the cooking process and allow you to rinse-wash the tails.

Huntsman History of Crawfish in Louisiana: What looks, tastes, and smells like seafood, but doesn’t come from the sea? It’s crawfish, a freshwater shellfish that is considered a Louisiana delicacy. Nothing else symbolizes the Cajun (a person of French Canadian descent born or living along the bayous, marshes, and prairies of southern Louisiana) culture of Louisiana like crawfish. Crawfish have become synonymous with the hardy French pioneers who settled in the area after being forced by British troops to leave their homes in Nova Scotia. Crawfish (or crayfish) resemble tiny lobsters. They are also known in the south as mudbugs because they live in the mud of freshwater bayous. They are more tender than lobsters and have a unique flavor. Today crawfish are raised commercially and are an important Louisiana industry."

But watch out and keep an eye on your cooking times to make sure you do not overcook your lobsters. Finally, boiling lobsters makes it easier to remove the meat out of the shell. The high, intense heat of boiling cooks the meat quickly, causing it to pull away from the shell. If you are just cooking a few lobsters (1-4) see the advantages of steaming lobsters."

"text": "\"The New England lobster (Homarus Americanus) is a crustacean related to crabs, shrimp, crayfish and barnacles. An arthropod, it is more closely related to insects than to animals (hence the jocular term \"\"bugs\"\" for lobsters). In colonial America, lobsters were so plentiful in New England's coastal waters that they were used as pig fodder. The prize catch back then was bland codfish. Nearly 60 million pounds of lobster are caught in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island each year. ( In Canada's Atlantic provinces the catch is almost twice as large! ) Lobster Facts Fresh from the water, live lobsters are green colored with dark splotches. They only turn red when cooked. The two front (of 10) legs of the New England lobster have evolved to become large, powerful claws , which differentiate it from the Caribbean spiny lobster, which has no such front claws. When cooked, the claw meat is tender, sweet and delicious, and is looked upon as choicer than the tail meat , though that is also good."

Do not panic if sea water is not an option for you, as salted tap water will be fine. You may add a mixture of wine, vegetables and herbs to the water in order to give the lobster meat more flavour. The residual liquid may also be used to make a delicious stock or sauce. Ingredients that can be added include white wine, pepper, parsley, celery, onions, carrots, or bay leaves .

Despite the visual appeal of whole lobster, many diners prefer to buy theirs in the form of frozen lobster tails instead. While they lack the dramatic appearance of a whole lobster, they're easier and much less messy to eat. Cooking instructions vary from package to package, but the tails can simply be boiled like a whole lobster. Video of the Day Size Dictates Time As with whole lobsters, your cooking time is determined by the size of the tail. These can be as small as 2 to 3 ounces or as large as a pound in weight, depending on the species and origin of the lobster itself. If you're working from a recipe and purchased the specified size of tails, you can simply follow the recipe's instructions. Otherwise, the usual rule of thumb for lobster tails is one minute of boiling time for every ounce. Four-ounce tails, then, should boil for four minutes, while 10-ounce tails will require 10 minutes. The Single-Tail Guideline As always, the details are important."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: depends on the size of the lobster tail-if you are going to bake it i would suggest about 350 for 10 minutes per inch in thickness-take out about half way through and re-coat with butter and your choice of herbs-if you are going to broil it in the oven then you can just split the top a little and place it back on the shell-check occasionally and when the underside is done it will be cooked all the way through-the tail will have a tendency to curl up and as it cooks more it will get stiffer-short of lots of practice this will be your best bet-in time if you cook them a lot you will be able to tell just by looking---hope this helps---smile and enjoy the nightlazaruslong138 · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment First of all, they're not that small — 2-ounce lobster tails are available. Second, yours are more often called slipper lobster tails, coming from a number of lobster species related to the rock lobster, and are likely to come from the waters off Brazil or Taiwan. Third, frozen lobster tails tend to be tougher than fresh, so there may be a bit of rubberiness no matter what you do. Nonetheless, they should be delicious! As to preparation, you can thaw them in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours or in a microwave oven (especially if it has an auto-defrost setting). You can cook them frozen, but they tend to be more tender if thawed first. Many people would broil them, but it's hard to keep sections from overcooking. You can bake them in a 400°F (205°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes (if they were thawed in advance; longer if frozen). Brush them with a bit of butter or olive oil before they go into the oven."

"text": "Edit Article How to Boil Lobsters Are you intimidated by the idea of boiling lobster? Boiling is the most popular and a simple way of preparing lobster. Lobster used to be a poor man's food in the early 19th century, before public opinion shifted and fishermen began hunting and selling the crustaceans more furiously. All around the world and especially in the American northeast, lobster is now a prized dish. Here is how to boil lobster. Ingredients Live lobsters Water Salt Steps1 Fill a large pot with enough water. Four or five gallons of water will safely hold about 6 to 8 pounds of lobster. As a rule of thumb, it's better to have too much water than to overcrowd the pot with too much lobster.2 Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt per quart of water. For best results, use sea salt. Optional: Add a sprig of thyme, two bay leaves, and the juice of one lemon to the water."

"text": "Edit Article How to Get a Lobster Tail out of Its Shell The meat of a lobster's tail can be messy to get out of a shell. These easy steps will have you dunking chunks in butter in no time, with finesse and no need for a plastic bib!Steps1 Get a bowl, a plate and a fork.2 Separate the tail section from the body: Center the lobster over the bowl to catch the water that will spill out. This doesn't always happen, some just do the whole process right on their plate. Hold the tail section in one hand Hold the body in the other hand Bend the two sections toward each other, across the lobster's back. You can also separate the body from the tail in a twisting motion. Be bold!Place the body in the bowl. Lobster freaks may actually twist off the little legs and suck the meat out, but it's a labor of love.3 Hold the tail section over the plate.4 Pull the fins off the end of the lobster tail. There's tiny bits of meat in the fins, if you're inclined to work them out.5 Wrap your fingers around the shell firmly, leaving the lobster meat exposed on both ends.6 Poke the fork tines into the end of the tail, where you pulled the fins off. If you're comfortable using your fingers, just poke one or two fingers into the rear end and push through the tail shell.7 The meat of the lobster tail will pop out the other side onto the plate!

"text": "\"The Well-Timed Period Helping you be healthy. Wednesday, April 20, 2005Human Papillomavirus (HPV)Via the excellent Alas, a Blog, I read an item about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and the Family Research Council, and I meant to post about it. FRC opposes the HPV vaccine because: \"\"Abstinence is the best way to prevent HPV\"\", and \"\"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful, because they may see it as a licence to engage in premarital sex\"\". FRC's stance is too uninformed to merit comment, and I'll leave it at that--there's just too much material to cover, to waste time on frivolous pronouncements. [ Although, I must say, it would be interesting to know why reporters insist on getting quotes from FRC-type groups. They contribute nothing to the discussion. It doesn't seem like they have the conviction of their beliefs, and as such, can't be candid (\"\"Based on our religion, we believe sexually active women, as well as random neonates are to be deprived of proper medical care.\"\"). Nor do they exhibit a knowledge of medical facts (e.g., for women, the proven benefits of genital cancer protection outweigh the potential risks of premarital sex; for neonates, at risk of life-threatening HPV diseases acquired via maternal transmission, sexual activity isn't even an issue).] Back on topic, let's go over some facts about HPV, and the HPV vaccine. [ What follows is a brief, and selective discussion; reference articles used here, here, and here; some original text modified/rearranged for clarity.]"

The answer is yes. Research shows that a common side effect of these drugs is a feeling of physical and mental fatigue. ( See the AARP, from June 12, 2012) (1) Drugs used to treat acid reflux are called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). “ Patients who take PPIs for as little as three months are at risk of low blood levels of magnesium, which can cause loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, among other symptoms.” ("

Here are some ways in which you can identify them. Reasons Genital warts may be caused by the human pappiloma virus or HPV. Herpes on the other hand is caused by the HSV1 or the HSV2 virus.

Graphic: How HPV can lead to cancer [pdf] (source: The Philadelphia Inquirer)HPV is a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women. HPV is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world. While most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own, some will develop complications that may lead to cancer. How do you contract HPV? HPV is spread through direct sexual contact or, more rarely, skin-to-skin contact during sexual acts. Genital warts, the most obvious sign of HPV infection, are very contagious. About two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with a partner with genital warts will develop warts, usually within three months of contact. Someone infected with HPV but without symptoms can still spread the virus to sexual partners and/or develop HPV related complications."

"text": "Dormant HPV Infections Can Cause Disease Even Without Activating Share Article Microcompetition explains the underlying cause of many major diseases and shows how dormant viruses actually can cause disease while still dormant. Rochester, New York (PRWEB) March 17, 2012According to the FDA, active viruses cause disease; dormant viruses do not. The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD), in contrast, supports an alternative view. Microcompetition explains the underlying cause of many major diseases and shows how dormant viruses actually can cause disease while still dormant. Why is this important? It is important because HPV has the ability to establish a dormant (latent) infection. Most people who have an HPV infection do not know they are infected because many types of the virus remain latent and cause no symptoms. The FDA says people shouldn’t be worried about a dormant infection. The CBCD says otherwise. A recent study entitled “Prevelance of Oral HPV Infection in the United States, 2009 – 2010” that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that the HPV virus was found in the mouths of 7% of study participants."

"text": "\"Virus A virus is a parasite that must infect a living cell to reproduce. Although viruses share several features with living organisms, such as the presence of genetic material (DNA or RNA), they are not considered to be alive. Unlike cells, which contain all the structures needed for growth and reproduction, viruses are composed of only an outer coat (capsid), the genome, and, in some cases, a few enzymes. Together these make up the virion , or virus particle. Many illnesses in humans, including AIDS, influenza, Ebola fever, the common cold, and certain cancers, are caused by viruses. Viruses also exist that infect animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi. Physical Description and Classification Viruses are distinguished from free-living microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, by their small size and relatively simple structures. Diminutive viruses such as parvovirus may have a diameter of only 25 nanometers (nm, 10 -9 meters). Poxviruses, the largest known viruses, are about 300 nanometers across, just at the detection limits of the light microscope. Typical bacteria have diameters of 1,000 nanometers or more."

Most people only start to pay attention to their health after being exposed to the symptoms that make their life uncomfortable, such as uncommon discharge from penis or vagina, burning while urinating, sores or ulcers in genital areas, itching and other abnormalities. However, it should always be remembered that in many cases STDs do not show any symptoms or remain in latent stages. All this time they can accumulate power to eventually damage your body or cause serious complications. Besides, you may act as a contractor without being aware of that. This is why it is important to get tested after every exposure to infections through unprotected sex with insecure partners. Do not hesitate to visit a doctor as he is the only one who can provide proper STD testing and correctly diagnose the problem to prescribe efficient medication. Some STDs are cured with common antibiotics, while others require special treatment. Here is the list of most common STDs and testing required: Chancroid When to get tested? Open sores in genital areas, such as penis, rectum and vagina are the signs of chancroid."

Generally, warts develop on hands and feet, but they can appear in any area of your body. Warts on hands are somewhat similar to cauliflowers in appearance. Approximately 50% disappear in two years without requiring any treatment. However, they are extremely contagious; thus, you should treat them immediately and avoid direct skin contact with another wart. They sometimes reappear on your skin.warts on hands Why do warts on hands appear? The warts on hands are produced by papillomavirus (HPV). It generates the fast multiplication of skin cells, having as a result benign growths, which are rather embarrassing than serious affections, being highly contagious."

It is not surprising, then, that neurologic complications of HIV infection are common and not confined to opportunistic infections. All levels of the neuraxis can be involved, including the brain, meninges, spinal cord, nerve, and muscle. Neurologic disease is the first manifestation of symptomatic HIV infection in roughly 10-20% of persons, while about 60% of patients with advanced HIV disease will have clinically evident neurologic dysfunction during the course of their illness. ( 1-3) The incidence of subclinical neurologic disease is even higher: autopsy studies of patients with advanced HIV disease have demonstrated pathologic abnormalities of the nervous system in 75-90% of cases. ( 1,4,5) In the United States and the European Union, where antiretroviral therapy is relatively available, peripheral neuropathy and HIV-associated cognitive dysfunction (including AIDS dementia) account for the greatest proportion of neurologic disease burden. In developing countries, opportunistic infections of the central nervous system (CNS) account for most of the reported neurologic morbidity and mortality in AIDS. Cryptococcal meningitis, fulminant bacterial meningitis, neurotuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, and neurosyphilis are common among HIV-infected individuals in Asia and Africa."

"text": "Contents Previous Next11. DNA and RNA Viruses and the Diseases They Cause General Virus Types: DNA and RNAViruses come in two basic types, those that have a genome of DNA and those that have a genome of RN. Viruses are composed of a genetic molecule surrounded by a protein coating called a capsid, and sometimes a membranous “envelope”. Within the capsid are distinct sub-units called capsomeres). The core is made of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA, depending on the virus). Some RNA viruses are retroviruses that use reverse transcription (i.e. HIV). Their RNA is used as a template for the host cell to make a DNA strand that functions as a template, making a complement DNA strand that forms a double helix. This DNA is incorporated into the host cell DNA as a provirus. The provirus is transcribed and used to make more virus RNA, which can then form new viruses that leave the cell ready to infect more cells. Virus genetic material is more variable than that of living organisms."

"text": "RSVAlso found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .virus [ vi´rus] any member of a unique class of infectious agents, which were originally distinguished by theirsmallness (hence, they were described as “filtrable” because of their ability to pass through fineceramic filters that blocked all cells, including bacteria) and their inability to replicate outside of andwithout assistance of a living host cell. Because these properties are shared by certain bacteria ( rickettsiae, chlamydiae ), viruses are now characterized by their simple organization and their uniquemode of replication. A virus consists of genetic material, which may be either DNA or RNA, and is surrounded by a protein coat and, in some viruses, by a membranous envelope. Unlike cellular organisms, viruses do not contain all the biochemical mechanisms for their ownreplication; they replicate by using the biochemical mechanisms of a host cell to synthesize andassemble their separate components. ( Some do contain or produce essential enzymes when there is no cellular enzyme that will serve.) When a complete virus particle ( virion) comes in contact with a host cell, only the viral nucleic acid and, in some viruses, a few enzymes are injected into thehost cell. Within the host cell the genetic material of a DNA virus is replicated and transcribed into messenger RNA by host cell enzymes, and proteins coded for by viral genes are synthesized by host cellribosomes. These are the proteins that form the capsid (protein coat); there may also be a fewenzymes or regulatory proteins involved in assembling the capsid around newly synthesized viralnucleic acid, in controlling the biochemical mechanisms of the host cell, and in lysing the host cellwhen new virions have been assembled. Some of these may already have been present within theinitial virus, and others may be coded for by the viral genome for production within the host cell. Because host cells do not have the ability to replicate “viral RNA” but are able to transcribemessenger RNA, RNA viruses must contain enzymes to produce genetic material for new virions."

dark urine, light stools, fatigue, fever, and jaundice may occur o HDV: causes inflammation of the liver; only affects those already infected with HBV -Transmits via contact with infected blood or contaminated needles or through sexual contact o HEV: inflammation of the liver; rare in the USA -Transmits via fecal or oral routes or through contaminated water supplies in foreign countries Hepatitis B virus • Results in swelling, soreness, and loss of normal liver function • 1.25 million people in the US have chronic hepatitis (and may infect others); 300,000 new cases per year Hepatitis B Virus SXS • Flulike symptoms (fatigue, weakness, and nausea), abdominal pain, headache, fever, possibly jaundice • Some infected persons are asymptomatic, but the HBV antigen will always be present (and can still transmit) • Chronic active hepatitis may occur due to a problem with the immune system that prevents the complete destruction of virus-infected liver cells • Blood test may be positive within 2-6 weeks after symptoms develop (85% recover within 6-8 weeks)Hepatitis B Virus Prevention • Good personal hygiene and avoiding high-risk activities • HBV can survive for at least 1 week in dried blood or on contaminated surfaces Hepatitis B Virus Management • Vaccination must be made available by employers at no cost to any individual who may be exposed to blood or other bodily fluids and may thus be at risk of contracting HBV o 3 doses over a 6-month period; 87% will be immune after 2nd dose; 96% develop immunity after 3rd dose o Post-exposure vaccination is available if one comes into contact with infected fluids • 8,700 health care workers contract HBV each year; as many as 200 of these cases end in death Hepatitis C Virus • Both an acute and chronic form of liver disease caused by the HCV • Most common chronic bloodborne infection in the US (85% of those acutely infected become chronic) o Leading indication of liver transplant (67% develop chronic liver disease) o 3.9 million have been infected (2.7 million are chronic); 25,000 new infections per year Hepatitis C Virus SXS • 80% have no signs or symptoms • Jaundice, mild abdominal pain (esp. right upper quadrant); loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, and/or dark urine Hepatitis C Virus Prevention • Spread by contact of an infected person (not by close personal contact, sexual contact, sharing food, etc) • Most commonly transmitted by sharing needles or syringes (also by sharing personal care items with blood on them, such as razors and toothbrushes)Hepatitis C Virus Management • No vaccine; possible to find HCV within 1-2 weeks after being infected • HCV-positive persons should be evaluated for liver disease; meds: interferon and ribavirin Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) • HIV is a retrovirus that enters a host cell and changes its RNA to a proviral DNA replica o Possibly affected cells (in immune system): T4 blood cells, B cells, and monocytes (macrophages) • 40 million people worldwide have HIV (2003); 5 million new infections in 2003; 3 million deaths Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) SXS • Transmitted by exposure to infected blood or other bodily fluids or by intimate sexual contact • Fatigue, weight loss, muscle or joint pain, painful or swollen glands, night sweats, and fever • Antibodies can be detected in a blood test within 1 year after exposure; may go 8-10 years w/o symptoms • Most individuals who are HIV-positive will also develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) • AIDS: o Individual has no protection against even the simplest infections; extremely vulnerable to developing illnesses, opportunistic infections, and cancers (i.e. Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) o Positive HIV test cannot predict when individual will show the symptoms of AIDS -50% develop AIDS within 10 years of HIV infection (generally die within 2 years)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Management • No HIV vaccine and no available treatment to cure patients with AIDS • Most effective tx: combination of 3 drugs o 1) Drug that blocks the action of an enzyme that the virus needs to make new virus cells o 2) Drug that blocks the copying of viral genes that can enter the host cell's nucleus o 3) Drug that helps protect the T cells and thus slows the progression of HIVHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention • Greatest risk is through sexual contact with an infected partner o Practice safe sex; use prelubricated latex condoms Bloodborne Pathogens in Athletics • Probability of transmitting HIV among athletes is low • Some sports may have a potentially higher risk for transmission (wrestling, martial arts, and boxing)Bloodborne Pathogens in Athletics Policy Regulation • Governing institutions of sport and the CDC have good resources for athlete education • Athletes and/or parents should be educated about how bloodobrne pathogens are transmitted • All sports medicine institutions are required to follow OSHA guidelines (universal precautions)Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Athletic Participation • No definitive answer - bodily fluid contact should be avoided, and participant should avoid engaging in exhaustive exercise that may lead to an increased susceptibility to infection • Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 says that athletes infected with HIV cannot be discriminated against and may be excluded from participation only on a medically sound basis Testing Athletes for HIV • Should not be used as a mandatory screening tool to determine if an athlete can participate in sports (AWD act) • Athletes who engage in high-risk activities should be encouraged to seek voluntary anonymous testing o 1) blood test analyses serum using an ELISA or EIA (detect antibodies to HIV proteins) o 2) second positive test requires the Western blot examination (more sensitive test) o Testing at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year (antibodies appear 3 months - 1 year after exposure) • Many states have laws that protect the confidentiality of the HIV-infected person Universal Precautions in an Athletic Environment • 1991: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established standards for an employer to follow that govern occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens o Mandated training programs for dealing with bloodborne pathogens that must be repeated each year to provide the most current information o NATA plan: counseling, education, volunteer testing, and management of bodily fluids Preparing the athlete • Before athlete participates in activity, all open skin wounds and lesions must be covered with a fixed dressing o Occlusive dressing lessens the chances of cross-contamination o Hydrocolloid dressing considered a superior barrier -reduces the chances that the wound will reopen because it keeps the wound moist and pliable When bleeding occurs • Mandated by NCAA & USOC: open wounds/other lesions should be given aggressive treatment o Those with active bleeding must be removed from activity ASAP o Uniforms containing blood must be evaluated for infectivity (may need to be removed)Personal Precautions • Protective equipment includes disposable nonlatex gloves, nonabsorbent gowns or aprons, masks and shields, eye protection, and disposable mouthpieces for resuscitation devices • Double gloving is suggested when there is heavy bleeding or sharp instruments are used • Hands/all skin surfaces that come into contact with blood/bodily fluids should be washed immediately with soap and water • First aid kits must contain protection for hands, face, and eyes & resuscitation mouthpieces Latex Sensitivity and Using Nonlatex Gloves Latex is composed of compounds that may cause an allergic reaction of a severity that can range from contact dermatitis to a systemic reaction (tx: remove irritant, cleanse affected area, monitor vitals)Availability of Supplies and Equipment Sports program must have available chlorine bleach, antiseptics, proper receptacles for soiled equipment and uniforms, wound care bandages, and a designated container for disposal of sharp objects Disinfectants • All contaminated surfaces should be cleaned immediately with a solution of 10% bleach solution or with a disinfectant approved by the Environmental Protection Agency • Soiled towels/linens should be bagged and separated from other laundry (bags with biohazard symbol) o Wash in hot water (159.8°F for 25 minutes) using a detergent that deactivates the virus o Wear gloves during bagging and cleaning of contaminated laundry Sharps • Whenever needles are used, they should not be recapped, bent, or removed from a syringe • Sharps should be disposed of in a leak-proof and puncture-resistant container (red or orange, biohazard symbol) • Scissors and tweezers should be sterilized with a disinfecting agent and stored in a clean plac"

"text": "Medical Micro Biology chapter 62 quotation:“Human Endogenous and Exogenous Retroviruses Similar to other vertebrate animals, humans possess retroviruses that exist in two forms: as normal genetic elements in their chromosomal DNA (endogenous retroviruses) and as horizontally-transmitted infectious RNA-containing viruses which are transmitted from human-to-human (exogenous retroviruses, e.g. HIV and human T cell leukemia virus, HTLV). Endogenous retroviruses in animals and humans probably evolved from transposable elements, some of them gaining the ability to package themselves in a virion structure, leave the cell and infect another cell. Clinical Manifestations In general, endogenous human retroviruses are not pathogenic and many of them are not complete viruses. The human genome contains between 100–1,000 copies of such viruses and many of them have become pseudogenes or have various defects. However, some are complete viruses and the genes of some are transcribed and make virus-encoded proteins. Expression of such genes have been found in certain autoimmune diseases in humans such as systemic lupis erythematosis and Sjögren's syndrome. Endogenous virus gene expression has also been observed in human placentas and in reproductive tissues of humans without any apparent pathology. Human T-Cell Leukemia viruses Human T-cell leukemia viruses are horizonatally transmitted from human-to-human (i.e. exogenous virus) and are associated with development of some rare diseases. They are believed to have originated from highly-related simian viruses. Clinical Manifestations HTLVs are associated with three presentations: (1) asymptomatic infection (most common); (2) adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) (pre-adult T-cell leukemia, chronic, acute, and lymphoma forms); and (3) tropical spastic paraparesis, a neurologic disease."

Effects of CCR-5 Genotype and Viral Phenotype on Survival Tables Table 1. Cumulative Probabilities of Developing AIDS and Annual Hazard of AIDS for the First 10 years Following HIV Infection in Adult Males Introduction HIV disease is a continuum of progressive damage to the immune system from the time of infection to the manifestation of severe immunologic damage by opportunistic infections (OI), neoplasms, wasting, or low CD4 lymphocyte count that define AIDS. The time it takes to traverse this spectrum varies greatly, ranging from 1 year or less in some persons to a still unknown upper limit in others that has reached nearly 20 years in a few individuals. The period from infection to development of AIDS is known as the incubation period. The period from an AIDS diagnosis to death has been studied separately as AIDS survival time. The epidemiology of HIV disease progression has attempted to characterize the distribution of possible lengths of the incubation period and the AIDS survival period, to identify laboratory tests useful for prognosis and treatment decisions, and to determine what cofactors accelerate or retard the rate of disease progression. These topics are reviewed in this chapter."

What is AIDS? HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection. The last stage of HIV infection is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS have a low number of CD4+ cells and get infections or cancers that rarely occur in healthy people."

Article Figures/Media102 References 82 Citing Articles The worldwide dissemination of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) over the past four decades is one of the most catastrophic examples of the emergence, transmission, and propagation of a microbial genome. 1 We now know that the cellular and anatomical sites of HIV replication influence the course of the infection, the ability of antiretroviral therapy to reduce viremia, and the establishment of the viral reservoir. This highly mutable virus inserts its genome into the genomes of crucially important cells of the host and, despite therapy, maintains a reservoir of latent HIV within the body. 2 The virus has a predilection for activated HIV-specific CD4+ T cells, although other cells are also susceptible to the virus. This tropism for particular cells is determined mainly by cellular receptors to which HIV attaches in order to enter cells. In this review, we will discuss the origins of HIV and its cellular and anatomical localization. The Simian Origins of HIVThe earliest documented case of HIV infection in humans was identified in a sample of serum from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) that was stored in 1959."

HIV is a virus that bit by bit attacks the immune system, which is our body’s natural defence against diseases. If a person becomes infected with HIV, they will find it harder to fight off infections and diseases. The virus destroys a type of white blood cell called a T-helper cell and makes copies of itself inside them. T-helper cells are additionally alluded to as CD4 cells. There are a wide range of strains of HIV – somebody who is contaminated may convey different diverse strains in their body. These are ordered into sorts, with loads of gatherings and subtypes."

Updated on November 14, 2014Liam Bean more Note to Reader The Ebola virus, also called the Ebola Virus Disease or EVD, is still a relatively new discovery. Due to this fact, information on this virus may undergo changes as more data becomes available. The \"\"Life\"\" Expectancy of a Virus Varies First, there is still some disagreement as to whether a virus is actually alive. This is primarily due to the fact that a virus does not have mitochondria, the mechanism that powers a cell. For this reason \"\"viability\"\" is often the word used to describe the survival rate (life) of a virus as opposed to \"\"life*. \"\"Due to a number of factors, such as internal structure, outer coating, and environment conditions, viruses display a huge range of time in how long they can persist in an infectious state. Some viruses require water to remain viable, others require a particular temperature range, others still do better out of direct light. In almost all cases, viruses can be killed by tearing apart their structure. Substances that can have this effect on a virus include soap, bleach, and the UV rays from sunlight. * Note that scientists are somewhat divided on whether or not a virus is actually a living thing."

He is the calm, tolerant and long-suffering husband of social climbing snob Hyacinth Bucket, who insists their surname is pronounced \"\"Bouquet\"\". Unlike Hyacinth, Richard is content to live a normal life and does not aspire to mingle with the aristocracy. As pointed out in the BBC documentary series Comedy Connections, he is a foil to exploit Hyacinth's personality to the worst advantage, and after Hyacinth has behaved in a particularly snobbish fashion, Richard will mutter a dry, acerbic remark, that provides some of the show’s humour. He pronounces his last name as it is spelled (and as everyone else but Hyacinth pronounces it): \"\"Bucket\"\" (He insists on this in Riparian Entertainments ). Unlike Hyacinth, Richard is fond of brother-in-law Onslow and sisters-in-law Daisy and Rose, and prefers their company to Hyacinth's other, but wealthier sister Violet 's (this is stated in the last episode of series one, where Richard complains how Violet is \"\"always moaning\"\" in contrast to Onslow's and Daisy's cheerfulness). Unlike Hyacinth, Richard accepts Onslow and company as members of the family, not caring about their lower-class status, and he often tries to portray them positively to Hyacinth. In the fifth episode of series one, Richard says to Hyacinth: \"\"You've got to admire Onslow's relaxed attitude to life\"\". Onslow sympathises with Richard (who he calls \"\"Dickie\"\"), knowing he is at Hyacinth's beck and call day and night. He tries to rescue him on one occasion in series three, taking him to a pub where they play pool together, and enjoy a round or two of beers."

"text": "Not just trees: The politics of the jacaranda, eucalyptus and hyacinth in Africa27 Mar 2015 12:06 Christine Mungai You may not think it, but trees in Africa are very political indeed, quietly demarcating “ownership” of spaces, and acting as contested symbols A jacaranda-lined street in Pretoria, South Africa. Jacaranda is not indigenous to Africa, but is native to Central and South America. ( Photo: Paul Saad/ Flickr). MARCH 21 was the International Day of Forests, and apart from the few tree-planting events here and there, it passed by without much fuss in Africa. For African urbanites, trees are not typically something you think about much, except in utilitarian terms: they are nice for shade, useful for pinning posters on, and when they are big and mature, they can make your property appreciate in value – there’s a reason upmarket areas are called “leafy suburbs”, after all. But in many African cities, trees do more than that. You may not think it, but trees in Africa are very political indeed, quietly demarcating “ownership” of spaces, like flags driven into the summits of mountains. Take Johannesburg, for example. The Transvaal region, in the north-eastern part of South Africa where Johannesburg is located, is a dry, flat expanse of grassland and shrubs; the climate is too arid to naturally support forest, or even large trees. But Johannesburg, as seen from the air, is a curious sight."

"text": "\"Hyacinth bulbs naturally flower in the spring but they can also be forced indoors for a Christmas display. Read on to learn how to grow hyacinths successfully in your home and garden!Planting hyacinth bulbs Hyacinths are best planted in the autumn, and as with most bulbs, need a well-drained, fertile soil in full sun. Make sure the area you are planting has been cleared of weeds, and incorporate some organic matter such as well-rotted manure, recycled green waste or compost into the soil. This will help improve light or very heavy soils and provide some nutrients. Wear gloves when planting as the bulbs can be a skin irritant. Plant hyacinth bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4\"\"), spacing them 8cm (3\"\") apart. Cover them with soil and lightly firm in avoid treading them in as this may damage the growing tips. They shouldn't need watering in if the soil is moist. Hyacinths in pots Hyacinths make fantastic pot plants due to their neat and compact habit, and growing them in containers allows you to enjoy the scent up close. Any compost can be used for growing hyacinths in containers for short term displays use multi-purpose compost and for longer term displays use soil-based compost such as John Innes No.2."

Roberto Published 1:11 PM, January 28, 2018Updated 1:11 PM, January 28, 2018LILY BRIQUETTES. Founding CEO Jackie Yap says the idea of Hi Gi energy is anchored on the idea of converting water hyacinth into solid biofuel briquettes. All photos courtesy of Hi Gi Energy MANILA, Philippines – Millennial entrepreneurs Jackie Yap, Leon Kee, and Hazel May Pajotagana have found a brilliant way of helping reduce the world’s dependence on coal. In 2015, they co-founded Hi Gi Energy, a startup currently based in Taytay, Rizal. Their award-winning product is a clean energy briquette made from a very unlikely material: water hyacinth, which is often mistaken for water lily. Water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes) is a highly problematic invasive species outside its native range. They could grow up to 7.28 tons per hectare per day, which is so much faster than the growth cycle of most plants and trees. ( READ: How an entrepreneur turned a 'public enemy' into a money-making resource)Its rapid proliferation displaces native plants and animals, clog canals, interfere with irrigation, cause flood, and even impede river transportation. The water hyacinth disaster, these millennials entrepreneurs have discovered, has a silver lining after all."

"text": "Q&A. Fertilize hyacinths for best bloom May 08, 2005 | By Lee Randhava, Special to the Tribune. Q. What is the secret to growing hyacinths? When I plant them outside, they rarely return. When I buy them potted up in early spring, they bloom and then fade within a week.--Barbara Bachman, Highland Park A. Hyacinth bulbs are normally cold-hardy enough to tolerate Chicago winters, but they do need to be fertilized annually to produce those large masses of florets year after year. Since their heady sweet fragrance is one of their major attributes, plant them close to a walkway you use, in full sun with excellent drainage. Next spring, as new growth emerges, fertilize with a balanced 10-10-10 or 10-15-10. Leave foliage until it has completely yellowed. Hyacinths prefer moisture during their spring growth but drought during their summer rest, so avoid planting water-needy, summer-blooming annuals over these bulbs. When hyacinths are forced for indoor bloom, their roots are quite shallow. When brought into a heated room, their growth accelerates, causing the top-heavy stems to flop over."

"text": "Hyacinth macaws are one of the largest species of parrot. They are beautiful, smart, and can even mimic human speech. They have a blue body of feathers, a solid black beak, and yellow circling their eyes and lower part of their beak. They nest in pre-existing holes in trees with a clutch of two to three eggs. Chicks stay with the mother until they are 6 months old. Macaws have four toes—two toes face forward and two face backward. These feet are called zygodactyl, and are great for perching on branches, climbing in trees, and even holding food. Parrots use vocalizations to keep in constant contact with one another in their habitat, even if they are on opposite sides of the forest. They have a very loud call, called a contact call, they use for this. It’s their way of saying, “Hey, I’m in a tree over here!"

Is it edible or is it not? A monograph in the Journal of Economic Botany (1962, Vol 17:146-153) states on page 150 in reference to the Dolichos lablab:“For food, usually other varieties of Doliehos which have tender pods are grown, but they require better soil and more water. The bean of Dolichos [lablab] from Angola is eaten in that country, as well as in the vicinity of Val de Pahnas. It was introduced by letting neighbors harvest the pods, of which they could keep half as payment for their labor. Beating the dry pods with a stick will easily free the beans. On the farm, the maize-threshing machine was used. As food, the beans can be prepared in many different ways. They are tasty and eaten like other beans or as a salad, though they have to be cooked longer than ordinary beans. ”Thus the beans are edible."

"text": "Home »Flowers Flowers to Keep Squirrels Away By Leah Deitz; Updated September 21, 2017Squirrels are a pesky problem for flower gardeners in rural and urban areas alike. But there are flowers that are unappealing to these animals and will deter squirrels from venturing into the flower bed in search of lunch. Starving pests such as squirrels, moles and deer may be willing to consume just about anything, but there are certain plants the average critter will not go much farther than in pursuit of a meal. Crown Imperial Crown imperials (Fritillaria imperialis) feature striking large bell-shaped flowers in bright colors like orange, red and yellow. Crown imperial is commonly found in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 9. These flowers grow to be as tall as 3 feet and prefer full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Squirrels rarely eat this plant, which in addition to having a strong odor, can be slightly poisonous. Common Hyacinth Hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis) are another bulb plant that does not seem to appeal to squirrels. According to e Xtension, an educational resource online, common hyacinth won’t deter a starving squirrel but it will not attract the pests either. Common hyacinth is found in hardiness zones 3 through 9 and thrives in full sun and most soil conditions."

"text": "Related Articles How to Transplant Hyacinths What to Do With a Hyacinth Plant Once the Flowers Have Died How to Rebloom Potted Hyacinth Bulbs Outdoors How to Save Hyacinth Bulbs Hyacinths (Hyacinthus spp.) send up spikes of white, blue, lavender, pink or red flowers naturally in spring, but they are often forced to bloom as an indoor plant in winter. Hyacinths grow in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8. If the potted bulbs were grown in soil, you can transplant them to the garden for years of enjoyment. Those grown in water vases or pebbles tend to rot, so are best thrown out after they finish blooming. Potted Hyacinth Care Hyacinths aren't ready to transplant outdoors until after they naturally go dormant. About six weeks after flowering, the leaves begin to yellow and die back naturally. Trimming off the dead flowers and providing the remaining leaves with all-day sun helps them replenish their energy so they can survive transplanting. Continue to water the plants so the soil stays evenly moist until the leaves die back. Watering once every two weeks during this period with a 24-8-16 houseplant fertilizer, diluting about 1/4 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water, further helps fuel the bulb."

"text": "Home > Flower Ideas & Inspirations > Meaning of Flowers > Hyacinth Meaning and Symbolism Meaning & Symbolism of Hyacinth Shop for Hyacinth Legend has it the origin of hyacinth, the highly fragrant, bell-shaped flower, can be traced back to a young Greek boy named Hyakinthos. As the story goes, two gods – Apollo the sun god, and Zephyr the god of the west wind – adored Hyakinthos and competed for his attention. One day, while Apollo was teaching Hyakinthos the art of throwing a discus, Zephyr, in a jealous rage, blew the discus back, killing Hyakinthos with a strike to the head. Apollo named the flower that grew from Hyakinthos's blood hyacinth. Symbolizing sport or play in the language of flowers, hyacinth represent constancy, while blue hyacinth expresses sincerity.

Harrison Ford rose to international fame after playing the role of Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy. His fame was further launched to the stratosphere when he played the title character in the Indiana Jones film series. Ford is also known for action films and dramatic roles, including Witness, Blade Runner, Clear and Present Danger, The Fugitive, and Patriot Games. Three of Ford's acting roles are included in the top five box-office hits of all time. Ford began his acting career by traveling to Los Angeles, California for a job in radio voice-overs. Unsuccessful in obtaining the job, Ford became a bit player in films. Ford's work as a carpenter for the homes of George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola opened the door for him to play bit parts in Coppola's The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now, and a supporting role in Lucas's American Graffiti. Lucas hired Ford to read with other actors when casting Star Wars and eventually cast him as Han Solo. Ford received an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination for Witness and received three Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor for Sabrina, The Mosquito Coast, and The Fugitive."

Ford earned $500,000 for Return of the Jedi, $100,000 for Empire and only $10,000 for the original Star Wars in 1977. Ford also has a reported deal with Disney to make .5% of the earnings from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Ford’s total take from the movie could top out at $35 million. By contrast, Ford earned just $1,000 a week for the original Star Wars in 1977. Hard to believe, but there’s a clip in this article where the actor confirms it. A reported deal for a small percentage of the box office takes boosts this to almost $2 million total.

"text": "Harrison Ford in the fourth movie of the series. Illustration by Thomas Fuchs In 1989, when Sean Connery showed up in the third Indiana Jones movie, as Indiana’s father, Henry Jones, he was no longer a young man. But Connery, then fifty-nine, had relaxed beautifully into middle age. Playing alongside Harrison Ford’s Indy, he was crotchety yet formidable. The father was a medievalist, the son an archeologist, and both were obsessed with lost treasures of unimaginable worth and extraordinary powers, and Connery turned a rivalry with the younger actor into high-style mischief. Nineteen years later, in the fourth movie in the series, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” Ford, now sixty-five, is still playing Indy, but he can’t be described as a man relaxing into middle age. He’s in great shape physically, but he doesn’t seem happy. He’s tense and glaring, and he speaks his lines with more emphasis than is necessary, like a drunk who wants to appear sober. In the earlier movies, Indy was often surly, but his scowl turned into a rakish smile—he dared you to think he was afraid to do something, and then, before you had quite registered the dare, he raced away and did it. Ford combined swagger with charm, and he was quick; he moved as if he had steel springs in his legs."

"text": "\"Movies Harrison Ford Injured on Set of 'Star Wars: Episode VII'By David Weiner 11:51 AM PDT, June 12, 2014Getty Images Oh no! Harrison Ford was injured on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. Read on for details... The 71-year-old actor injured his ankle on Thursday, and was taken to a nearby hospital. No other details of the circumstances surrounding the injury have been revealed at this time, although there is predictably lots of wild speculation on the Internet. Maybe Greedo shot first after all? A source reportedly tells The Hollywood Reporter that the star was injured by the door of the Millennium Falcon, the spaceship piloted by his character, Han Solo. Ouch. A statement from Disney to ET confirmed the news: \"\"Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII.

"text": "\"news Indiana Jones 5 Is Happening, Here's The Latest By Gregory Wakeman 140 Comments3 years ago Indiana Jones 5 is apparently finally going to happen, after several years of false starts, bogus rumors and alleged new casting announcements. And it looks like it's cinematographer Janusz Kaminski we have to thank for having a part in revealing that production on the fifth installment to the beloved franchise could soon become a reality. During a Variety expose on his career, it was flippantly reveled that Kaminski’s \"\"next project is the upcoming fifth Indiana Jones movie.\"\" While this appears to have been thrown in to the article as almost a last thought, Indiana Jones devotees quickly latched on to the revelation, taking it as indication that the fifth film has finally been announced, and that we can all finally try to move on from the cinematic nightmare that was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Harsh I know, but fair. It’s been over six months since the latest rumors regarding an Indiana Jones 5 were circulated. At the time it was suggested that a young-upstart would replace Harrison Ford in the iconic role, and the likes of Bradley Cooper and Robert Pattinson were suggested as possible replacements for the world’s most famous archaeologist. Cooper would get my vote, but it would be with a heavy heart. While it’s almost impossible to picture anybody else other than Harrison Ford wearing Indy’s infamous fedora and carrying his whip, it kind of would make sense if The Fugitive, American Graffiti and Star Wars actor graciously stepped aside to let someone else have a crack at the part. There was even a time when it was teased that the series could be completely refashioned in the mold of James Bond so that a younger audience could fall in love with the characters, exotic locations and daring missions to unearth the myriad of hidden treasures that are dotted around the globe."

The 72-year-old actor, who was conscious and breathing when rescue crews reached him, was stabilized and taken to a hospital, where he was in fair to moderate condition, authorities said. Sources familiar with the incident told NBC News that Ford slammed into the plane's console and control stick and that he underwent surgery Thursday night. He suffered a broken arm and a nasty gash to his head, among other injuries, they said. Ben Ford, the well-known restaurateur and the actor's son, said on Twitter that his dad was \"\"battered, but OK\"\" after the crash, which happened about 2:20 p.m. (5:20 p.m. ET). At the hospital.

But now Sylvester Stallone has branded his fellow ageing movie star Bruce Willis “lazy” and a “failure”, after the Die Hard actor departed from the lucrative Expendables franchise. Willis had been in negotiations to reprise his role as CIA agent Mr Church in the third instalment of The Expendables, Stallone’s all-star throwback to the 80s action-movies with which the Rambo star once dominated the box office. However Stallone, 67, announced via Twitter, with some glee, that Willis, 58, would now not be returning. “' WILLIS OUT... HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!! !,” he wrote. Stallone appeared to twist the knife by telling the world that his former screen partner in the first two Expendables was indeed, expendable. “ GREEDY AND LAZY ......

Historians say that the group of islands located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean known as Hawaii was discovered by the people who first migrated there. The first people to discover and inhabit Hawaii, were the Polynesian Settlers who migrated to Hawaii circa 300 B. C. They came from the Marquesas Islands. Evidence of settlers from different regions migrating and settling in Hawaii has been found, but most often Captain James Cook is credited with the discovery of Hawaii. He originally called them the “Sandwich Islands” after his benefactor, the Earl of Sandwich. Cook was the first European to encounter the islands around 1778. Cook was a Captain in the Royal Navy and an explorer. He was born in 1728 in England. Cook went to Hawaii twice and during his second visit there he got into a fight with natives and was killed in 1779."

"text": "\"Volcanoes - Mythology and Prophecy Many ancient accounts ascribe volcanic eruptions to supernatural causes, such as the actions of gods or demigods. To the ancient Greeks, volcanoes' capricious power could only be explained as acts of the gods, while 16th/17th-century German astronomer Johannes Kepler believed they were ducts for the Earth's tears. One early idea counter to this was proposed by Jesuit Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680), who witnessed eruptions of Mount Etna and Stromboli, then visited the crater of Vesuvius and published his view of an Earth with a central fire connected to numerous others caused by the burning of sulfur, bitumen and coal. Various explanations were proposed for volcano behavior before the modern understanding of the Earth's mantle structure as a semisolid material was developed. For decades after awareness that compression and radioactive materials may be heat sources, their contributions were specifically discounted. Volcanic action was often attributed to chemical reactions and a thin layer of molten rock near the surface. Vulcan - Roman God of Fire The word 'volcano' comes from the little island of Vulcano in the Mediterranean Sea off Sicily. Centuries ago, the people living in this area believed that Vulcano was the chimney of the forge of Vulcan - the blacksmith of the Roman gods. They thought that the hot lava fragments and clouds of dust erupting form Vulcano came from Vulcan's forge as he beat out thunderbolts for Jupiter, king of the gods, and weapons for Mars, the god of war. In Roman mythology, Vulcan, the god of fire, was said to have made tools and weapons for the other gods in his workshop at Olympus."

The resort illuminated the surf zone with bright floodlights, so guests could enjoy the beauty of the wave action at night from the rooms and public viewing decks. Unintentionally, this attracted Manta Rays to the area because the lights caused planktonic marine life to concentrate in the water near the shoreline. Over time, the Manta Rays “learned” that this was a favorable feeding area. This process is called “ Classical Conditioning ” or “ Pavlov Effect ”. The Manta Rays began to associate light with their natural food source. This is the only place in the world where you can be an arm’s length away from this truly remarkable and beautiful creature. That makes Hawaii unique in all the world. In 1991, Jim Robinson, prior owner of Kona Coast Divers, decided to schedule scuba night dives on Monday nights in front of the resort, because he was aware that Manta Rays were frequenting the area."

I did some research and found out that the tallest peak on Oahu is Mount Ka'ala. I also found out that the creators of Hawaiian hiking trails generally don't believe in switchbacks. We flew to Hawaii and had a great time at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Resort. This morning, I woke up at 6:30AM, even though I thought I would have been up at 5:30AM. I guess my body was getting used to Hawaiian time already. I purchased four large water bottles (three for the pack and one for the car) from the market downstairs at the hotel, since I had forgotten my Camelbak bladder at home, as my daughter likes to use it as a hose to water the plants in our backyard. Also, through a comedy of errors, I left all of my printed maps and trail reports at home. Even though I didn't have the maps with me, I remembered most of the trail from memory. I decided to go against my own rule, No Maps, No Hike, just this once, since I didn't think I'd be back to Oahu any time soon."

The youngest daughter of the late Frank Zappa, Diva will be exhibiting her handcrafted jewelry, knitting, and original photography for the next few weeks at Muu Muu Heaven in Hawaii. Zappa, whose full given name is Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen, is fairly soft spoken and meditative. I almost felt guilty asking her about the more unconventional aspects of her family legacy, because she’s so uniquely her own creative self. She spoke passionately about her knitting art and described it as “telling a story through yarn. The way that I see colors and feel them. That’s my interpretation of light.” And Zappa’s interpretation and creative process has inspired her to create a scarf she named Emilio, who “will be a mile long and a living journey. ”You create art in several different mediums, how did you begin? My parents gave me my first camera when I was about 7."

Mary went to live with John's older sister Debora, and Steve was sent to the Army and Navy Academy in California for his junior and senior years. This led to a decade-long period of estrangement between John and his children, as Steve and was in BUD/S in 2000.

Listen to this story via streaming audio, a downloadable file, or get help . September 13, 2001: Billions of kilometers from Earth, beyond the orbit of Neptune, lies perhaps the most forbidding part of our solar system, a vast realm so cold and dark it sparks a frisson of dread among thoughtful astronauts. The Sun, so cheerful and warming here on Earth, is merely the brightest star in the night sky there. And it's so cold that the atmosphere of Pluto -- the only one of the nine planets orbiting so far from the Sun -- lies frozen on the ground most of the time. A spaceship exploring the outer reaches of our solar system could go a long time without seeing much. And, indeed, for most of the past century astronomers figured there was little enough to see: only one small icy planet, Pluto, and its oddball moon Charon. Better perhaps to pass them by and head for a far-away star. Above: An artist's visualization of the outer solar system. Reproduced courtesy of Dave Jewitt."

As a teenager, Newbury sang tenor in a moderately successful vocal group called The Embers. [ 1] The group opened for several famous performers, such as Sam Cooke and Johnny Cash. Although Newbury tried to make a living from his music by singing in clubs, he put his musical career on hold at age 19 when he joined the Air Force. After four years in the military, he again set his sights on making a living as a songwriter. Before long, he moved to Nashville and signed with the prestigious publishing company Acuff-Rose Music. [ 1] In 1966, country star Don Gibson had a Top Ten country hit with Newbury's \"\"Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings\"\" while Tom Jones scored a world hit with the same song. In 1968, Newbury saw huge success with four top-five songs across four different charts: \"\" Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) \"\" #5 on the Pop/Rock chart by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition; \"\"Sweet Memories\"\" #1 on Easy Listening by Andy Williams; \"\"Time is a Thief\"\" #1 on the R&B chart by Solomon Burke; and \"\"Here Comes the Rain Baby\"\" #1 on the Country chart by Eddy Arnold.

With TV Club 10, we point you toward the 10 episodes that best represent a TV series, classic or modern. They might not be the 10 best episodes, but they’re the 10 episodes that’ll help you understand what the show’s all about—without having to watch the whole thing. It’s easy for a casual viewer—or one who has never even seen an episode—to write off CBS’ Magnum, P. I. as just another ’80s action show. It’s set in Hawaii! It has girls in bikinis and guns! There’s a Ferrari and probably many car chases! But even though all of those things happen to be true, Magnum, P. I. is a helluva lot more. It’s an “iconic” show that might have the reputation of being “fun,” but it rarely gets points for also being a solid drama. The show’s premise is pretty simple."

There are islands with large hotel chains and casinos, lively beach resorts for a family holiday with all-day kids clubs. For romance there are boutique resorts for honeymoons and beach chapels for weddings. Those looking for an adventure holiday can experience world class scuba diving and surfing, white water rafting or great sea-kayaking expeditions and at the end of the day wind down with a massage by the beach or do yoga in a tree-house surrounded by tropical birds. To find out more about each South Pacific island, please navigate using the map below: Choosing a Holiday in the South Pacific Islands Whilst there are numerous South Pacific islands to visit, only a handful of them offer mainstream tourism. Tuvalu, for example, has tourist arrivals numbering less than one hundred people a year.! Even the Solomon Islands, one of the larger group of islands in the South Pacific, has less than 10,000 tourist arrivals each year, and the majority of these are either business travellers or hard-core scuba diving enthusiasts. The following South Pacific travel destinations are our favourite countries to visit on a holiday, and here are the reasons why:# 1 - Fiji Islands Fiji is the number one hot spot in the South Pacific and receives over 600,000 tourists a year, but this is fewer tourists than visit the city of Cambridge in England each year! But Fiji has what most other places around the world don't have: literally hundreds of small tropical islands with stunning beach resorts.

At the time, Kentucky County was still considered part of Virginia, and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman. After settling in Kentucky, Beam began harvesting corn and set forth a family tradition by distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey.

Before being a reality TV star for Discovery Channel’s “Sons of Guns”, Hayden used to serve the country as a Marine. Six years into this career, Hayden had this realization that he wanted to be his own boss and unleash his inner entrepreneur. With this, he decided to open a small construction and commercial refrigeration company. Little did he know that his know-how in guns that he left behind being a Marine would come back one day and make him known. He thought about doing some side business on gun remodelling thus came the Army Surplus and Firearms Store. Since customers can’t seem to get enough of their ammo, Hayden made that decision to open the Red Jacket Firearms in 1999. This choice was made due to his first big order of building 20 AK-47s for an Arizona distributor. Despite having that cut rate on the price, Hayden negotiated to advertise his business and be listed as “Proudly Manufactured by Red Jacket” in the advertisements. Thanks to Atlantic Firearms, who took notice of their ad, the business flourished."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost half of the world’s population was at risk of malaria in 2015. The tropical disease claimed 429,000 human lives that year – two-thirds of them children under the age of five. Conventional diagnosis is time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. But now two Siemens Healthineers employees have invented a method for quickly detecting the life-threatening disease. The method uses the Siemens ADVIA® 2120i hematology system to run automated malaria tests as part of a full blood panel. The major advantage is that it achieves a high throughput at a lower cost than other procedures, such as microscopic examination. This led the European Patent Office to select Dutch product manager Jan van den Boogaart and Austrian researcher Professor Oliver Hayden as winners for the 2017 European Inventor Award. Malaria affects various parameters measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test. For example, it lowers the number of blood platelets."

By Connie Bruck After five decades in politics, Senator Feinstein calls the Intelligence Committee’s investigation of interrogation techniques the most important work of her career. Photograph by PARI DUKOVICDianne Feinstein, the Democratic senator from California, is making a late career of not quite pleasing anyone. After five decades in politics, Feinstein, at eighty-one, is the oldest sitting member of the Senate, where a late term is often less a valedictory than a chance for activism: think of Edward Kennedy or Mitch Mc Connell. With its elaborate rankings and deferential codes, the Senate rewards longevity; senior members have better committee seats, more loyal patrons, first choice of desk space in the chamber. As they near retirement age—whatever that means, in an institution where nearly a quarter of the members are over seventy—senators can hope to change a thing or two. When Barack Obama took office, on January 20, 2009, the Democrats held the Senate, and Feinstein had just become chairman of the powerful Intelligence Committee. At Obama’s inaugural ceremony, she delivered the welcoming remarks, standing before an eager crowd and declaring, “Future generations will mark this morning as the turning point for real and necessary change in our nation.” Skeptics on the National Mall might have noted that this was not a novel sentiment in such speeches, but for Feinstein it was an earnest indicator of political engagement. As the Bush Administration came to an end, the country was reconsidering the decisions of the previous eight years, particularly the ethics of the War on Terror."

We are witnessing a breakdown of respect for authority in American culture, as well as a tremendous increase in personal opinion and feelings as the standard of authority. Consequently, we now have a veritable smorgasbord of doctrinal variety in religion. Such is the nature of pluralism. One is likely to see anything and everything perpetrated in the name of religion and/or Christianity. The only solution to such a situation is to reaffirm the inspiration and authority of the Bible. The Bible is the only written document on this planet that is the standard of authority in life and in religion (see Miller, 1996, pp. 430-446,462-471).

Each has a small silvery sphere of alien material, about 3–4 cm in diameter, that allows a trained mind to project thoughts to carry out telekinesis or telepathy in some limited manner. Starman is adept, but Scott needs to learn how to focus; in one episode, \"\"Blue Lights\"\", Scott accidentally creates a picturesque image of a rotating ring of blue lights that is mistaken for a UFO. Both are also able to empathically connect with animals."

Nectarines are mostly eaten with the skin as peaches are mostly peeled. It is also sweeter and more nutritious than peaches. Health Benefits of Nectarine: Nectarine contains good amount of beta carotene, an antioxidant that help protect against cancer and other diseases by reducing the cellular damage that occurs when the body burns oxygen. Nectarines are high in pectin, a soluble fiber that helps control blood cholesterol levels. The skin contains insoluble fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Nectarine is also good source of lycopene and lutein. These phytochemicals are especially beneficial in the prevention of heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer. Nutrient Content of Nectarine: 1 medium size Vitamin A: 800 I. U. Vitamin C: 8mg Potassium: 150mg Fiber: 2g Calories: 60Nectarine has no cholesterol, fat and sodium Nectarine Varieties: The most common nectarine variety in North America is the freestone.

The Health Risks of Sulfur Dioxide in Dried Fruits The Disadvantages of Dried Fruit Just as dried apricots are dehydrated fresh apricots, prunes are the result of drying fresh plums. These two fruits belong to the rose family and are botanically related to almonds, peaches, nectarines and other stone fruits. Fresh apricots and prunes are excellent sources of several important nutrients, including fiber, potassium and antioxidant carotenoids. Although the drying process degrades a fruit’s content of water-soluble and heat-sensitive vitamins such as vitamin C, other nutrients become more concentrated. Consequently, dried apricots and prunes provide higher levels of most nutrients, ounce for ounce, than their fresh counterparts. Dietary Fiber Prunes and dried apricots are excellent sources of dietary fiber. They’re especially rich in soluble fiber, the type that dissolves into a gel-like substance and binds to fatty acids to encourage their excretion in waste.

Oranges are highly beneficial for your body. A medium, 2 1/2-inch orange offers lots of vitamins, minerals and fiber, all for a measly 60 calories. While orange juice is also full of nutrients, you'll miss out on fiber, so it is better to consume the whole fruit. Oranges are easy to tote around, since the thick skin protects them from bruising. Toss one in your bag for a quick mid-morning snack, add orange wedges to a grilled chicken salad or find other ways to add more oranges to your diet. Lower Cholesterol Oranges are full of soluble fiber, which is especially beneficial for lowering cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber attracts water in your gut, forming a slow-moving gel. As this gel substance travels through your intestinal tract, it picks up some of the excess cholesterol compounds and pushes them out through fecal waste."

One medium-sized nectarine contains 62 calories and is a good source of a number of minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber.

Scientists have found that bioflavonoids have specific capabilities to increase bodily health in many different ways. They support strong cell formations and, according to some medical services, even suppress poor cellular growth in order to deliver an anti-carcinogenic effect. Bioflavonoids contribute to good heart health, and combat atherosclerosis, as well as conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Bioflavonoids are found in many of the same foods that contain vitamin C, an essential nutrient for the daily diet, and these super antioxidants complement vitamin C, enhancing its effect on the body. Foods Rich in Bioflavonoids Fresh fruits and vegetables are generally the top choices for getting plenty of bioflavonoids in a diet. Here are some of the most popular ways to get the most of these helpful nutritional elements. Red Bell Peppers or Sweet Peppers - Red peppers contain three times more vitamin C than orange juice, according to some medical sources.

"text": "\"What Are Peaches Good For?17Disponible en Español Peach Appeal Botanical name: Prunus persica Not many fruits outshine peaches in luscious delectability. Historically rooted in China, the cultivation of peaches spread to the rest of the world fairly early in world history. Because they contain a single, inedible pit at the center, peaches are considered a \"\"drupe,\"\" and share characteristics of other fruits in its class, such as plums, nectarines, and – believe it or not – almonds. The difference between peaches and nectarines is that peaches have fuzzy skin while the others do not. Either way, the skin is edible and delicious. Nectarines, which are slightly more susceptible to disease, are actually a variety of peach, nota cross between peaches and plums. Peach trees are relatively small, at 25 feet or so. What makes it one of two varieties - \"\"freestone\"\" or \"\"cling\"\" – depends on whether the seed is firmly \"\"stuck\"\" to the flesh or can be easily removed. It's possible, depending on where you live, to plant a peach or nectarine and get a tree in about three years, but probably producing fruit slightly different than the one planted. With more than 175 different varieties, California produces more than 50 percent of the peaches in the U. S. – about a quarter of the world's supply."

The most common carotenoids in the diet of North Americans are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. Purpose The role carotenoids play in human health is not well understood. Carotenoids are antioxidants that react with free radicals. Molecules called free radicals form during normal cell metabolism and with exposure to ultraviolet light or toxins such as cigarette smoke. Free radicals cause damage by reacting with fats and proteins in cell membranes and genetic material. This process is called oxidation. Antioxidants are compounds that attach themselves to free radicals so that it is impossible for the free radical to react with, or oxidize, other molecules. In this way, antioxidants may protect cells from damage. Although carotenoids have antioxidant activity in the laboratory, it is not clear how much they function as antioxidants in the body."

Peaches are juicy and versatile summer fruits that are native to China and South Asia. Their Latin name is Prunus persica and peaches are a product of deciduous trees that grow in temperate regions of the world. Peaches belong to the family of Rosaceae [ 2], which includes fruits like plums and cherries. China is the largest producer of peaches and they are auspiciously revered as a Chinese symbol [ 4] of longevity and immortality. Other top contributors to peach production are Italy, Spain, the United States, and Greece."

Triglycerides are a type of blood fat that alters LDL so it's more damaging to your arteries. Lifestyle changes -- including exercising more, losing weight, eating fewer calories and limiting high-sugar foods and fatty foods -- may help improve your triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Any fruits are allowed on a triglyceride-reducing diet, but eating certain fruits may be more beneficial. Triglyceride-Lowering Fruits Eating a red grapefruit each day for 30 days may help lower triglyceride levels by more than 17 percent, LDL by more than 20 percent and total cholesterol by more than 15 percent in people with high blood triglycerides, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in March 2006.

What Are the Health Benefits of Nectarines Nectarines are the juicy relatives of peaches, and they have a smooth skin rather than a fuzzy one. The fruits are also rich in certain nutrients such as fiber. You'll get a small dose of protein from a nectarine, as well as vitamin C and potassium. The sweet and tangy flavor of a nectarine complements many fruit recipes, but it pairs well with unexpected foods, too. Fiber in Nectarines A small nectarine supplies 2.2 grams of fiber, which is about 8 percent of the 25 grams women should aim for each day, and 6 percent of the 38 grams men need on a daily basis. A medium-sized nectarine provides 2.4 grams of fiber and a large nectarine delivers 2.7 grams. Benefits of Fiber You've probably heard that you should eat more fiber, but that's not always easy to do, especially if you eat a lot of processed, packaged and restaurant foods."

How to Plant Peach Seeds Indoors First Nectarine fruits are peach fruits without the skin fuzz -- literally. That’s the only genetic difference between them, the Ohio State University Extension website notes. Trying to grow a nectarine tree (Prunus persica and Prunus persica variation nectarina) from a nectarine fruit's pit may seem like a tempting option because the tree produced probably will bear fruits. The project's outcome isn’t such a certainty if you’re a real nectarine fan who doesn’t like peach fuzz, however. Hardiness varies among the different kinds of nectarine trees. The dwarf nectarine tree \"\"Stark Sunglo\"\" (Prunus persica variation nectarina \"\"Stark Sunglo\"\") is hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 8. Look for Differences Nectarine trees don’t grow true from seed. So if you plant a nectarine pit, the tree that grows won’t necessarily produce fruits that are like the fruits of the tree from which you obtained the nectarine pit. A Mother Earth News website article states, however, that nectarines do a serviceable job of mirroring the parent trees."

Inulin Fiber is a fermentable fiber which comes from chicory root or synthesized from sucrose which is then processed as a white powder. Inulin stimulates the growth of Bifidobacteria in the colon.

Consider having half of a grapefruit before your morning oatmeal, and slicing a few segments to a starter salad.

Too wide for our narrow pantry, this unit spends most of the year in a corner of my closet looking like an abandoned R2-D2 action figure on Boxing Day morning. For eight months of the year it quietly collects dust and cat hair without complaining. The remaining four months? It’s hauled out, washed off, and gets dizzy being shuffled between my office and the kitchen table. While I’m guessing few people keep a dehydrator in their closet, according to cookbook author and Professional Home Economist (PHEc) Jennifer Mackenzie human closet dehydrators have been lurking in the shadows for years. It’s only recently they’ve stepped into the light — and the bookstores. Jennifer co-authored The Dehydrator Bible (Robert Rose) back in 2009, but says that in the past two years sales for the book and dehydrators are “going crazy.” Who’s suddenly drying food?

They’re usually a little smaller than the average peach and have a smooth skin. Uses of nectarines are the same as those of peaches too. They can be eaten fresh, baked into pies and cobblers, and are a sweet, tasty addition to a fruit salad. Let’s learn more about how to grow nectarines. Where Do Nectarines Grow? If you live in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-8 and have a place for a small orchard, or even a single tree, you might consider growing nectarine fruit trees. With the proper care of nectarine trees, they can grow successfully in other areas. Care of nectarine trees in more southern areas includes diligent watering during hot seasons. Like peaches, new varieties of nectarines are self-fruitful, so you can grow a single tree and have fruit production without a pollinator."

Pennywise: Photofest Bill Skarsgard, Pennywise the Clown'Mama' helmer Andy Muschietti is directing the New Line horror movie. Bill Skarsgard has the It factor. The actor, who is one of the stars of Hemlock Grove, has nabbed the role of Stephen King’s iconic villain Pennywise the Clown in New Line’s adaptation of the author’s landmark novel It. Skarsgard is in final negotiations to star in the horror pic, whose cast will also include St. Vincent actor Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor. Andy Muschietti, the helmer behind the surprise horror hit Mama, is directing the adaptation, which is being told in two parts. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg and Barbara Muschietti are producing. The story follows a group of teens called the Losers Club who defeat a creature called It. Years later, the creature returns, and the former club members, now adults, have to band together again even though they have no memory of the first battle. New Line’s first movie will tell the kids’ story, while the second movie will focus on the adults."

The sugar maple is economically important as the source of maple syrup. The sap is harvested (tapped) in early spring, and boiled down to form pure maple syrup. Chosen as the state tree for four US states, this maple is perhaps best recognized as the leaf on the flag of Canada, designated in the mid-1960s. Although widely associated with Canada, sugar maples do not naturally grow far north or west in Canada. They grow from southeast Canada through New England and the Midwestern United States, south to Tennessee and Virginia. They are found typically in deep, rich, well-drained soils. Often planted as ornamental and shade trees, they are prized for their fall colors of brilliant yellow, orange, and sometimes red. The hard wood is used to make furniture, veneer, cabinets, and many other items. Look for: medium-sized tree with opposite branches; distinctive leaf, as on the Canadian flag, with approximately five major lobes; small dangling pale yellow flowers in early spring before the leaves emerge; winged seeds that spin as they fall."

The Hidden Oracle is the first book in The Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. It was released on May 3, 2016. [ 1] It takes place roughly six months after The Blood of Olympus. [ 2]Contents [ show]Development While promoting The Sword of Summer in October 2015, Rick Riordan announced that he was working on a new series of five books based on Apollo, revealing the title and release date. Riordan had the idea to make a new series in the universe of Percy Jackson after he wrote Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, when he discovered two myths about Zeus punishing Apollo, turning him into a mortal. He liked the concept and decided to write a series centered on Apollo's trials, while many of the characters from Percy Jackson & the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus return in the new series. Because Apollo is the god of poetry, the name of each chapter would be a bad haiku. On December 10, 2015, the third chapter was made available for free download by USA Today. The first chapter was released along with the collection of short stories Demigods & Magicians on April 5, 2016."

Disturbed only by the melodic welcome of its feathered inhabitants. Alone, yet with an eerie feeling of another's presence. You look down and see but your own tread etched in the sands of your pathway, almost expecting to see another shaped by the moccasined foot of one who once made this path his own. And chances are you have never heard within the wild notes of the turbulent river below (as it rushes away to the nearby sea) the measured notes of an ancient counter melody echoing the last haunting cry of a dwindling tribe. And chances are you have never trod the 'deck' of the massive seven-arched Echo Bridge and looked down, with your mind's eye, upon a field dotted with wigwams. Never in the clear, cool air that frequents only these heights, breathed the nostalgic odor of the smoke of the natives ancient fires. And chances are if you stood beneath the bridge's soaring arch that spans the river, you might hear behind the echoing sounds of your own voice the soft whisper of those guardian spirits who were left behind to watch over their beloved gorge. A place they left for your keeping.

LET ME HELP! In this second edition of \"\"The Best Show on Every Network as of Right Now,\"\" I will reveal the best show on every network as of right now—mid-March, 2015. In case you missed the first edition, here are the rules:– Original programming only! ( Except in cases where a network's original programming is so bad that I had no choice but to select a rerun of a movie.) Foreign shows that are currently airing on a U. S. network are also eligible.– Every show listed must be part of its network's current lineup, but it's okay if a series is between seasons. That's it!And now, here's my rundown of the best shows on all the major-ish networks, presented without explanation. Note: I suppose there's a SLIGHT chance that your opinions may differ from mine; if that's the case, why don't you share your own list in the comments?

In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical austerity and severity, heightened feeling [1] harmonizing with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime. David later became an active supporter of the French Revolution and friend of Maximilien Robespierre (1758–1794), and was effectively a dictator of the arts under the French Republic. Imprisoned after Robespierre's fall from power, he aligned himself with yet another political regime upon his release: that of Napoleon, The First Consul of France. At this time he developed his Empire style, notable for its use of warm Venetian colours. After Napoleon's fall from Imperial power and the Bourbon revival, David exiled himself to Brussels, then in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, where he remained until his death. David had a large number of pupils, making him the strongest influence in French art of the early 19th century, especially academic Salon painting.

When he was about nine his father was killed in a duel and his mother left him with his well-off architect uncles. They saw to it that he received an excellent education at the Collège des Quatre-Nations, University of Paris, but he was never a good student: he had a facial tumor that impeded his speech, and he was always preoccupied with drawing."

It houses thousands of species of plants from mosses that only grow at the top of the mountains to trees that tower over the surrounding country side. It is easy to see why this area was made a national park, the beauty is only compounded by the flora in the mountains. During the spring and summer, the mountains are covered with colorful flowers and flowering bushes. Most amazingly the rhododendrons that bloom in late June and early July color the mountains white and pink from the ridges to the valleys. During the fall, as the leaves change color, the trees become the backdrop for many pictures and photographs. The Leaf Season in the Smokies is one of the most popular times to take a drive through the Smokies. Old Growth Forest – You will hear the term Old Growth Forest bandied about by Park Rangers and in hiking guides all the time when you are in the Smokies. Old Growth Forests are those forests that have remained relatively untouched by man and in the Smokies that means they were untouched by the logging industry as well. There are quite a few trails that will take you into old growth areas of the National Park."

"text": "Hemochromatosis: Foods to Avoidby MARYANN GROMISCH Oct. 03, 2017Hemochromatosis is an inherited disease in which the body absorbs extra iron from the daily diet. Normally, a person absorbs about 10 percent of iron found in foods. However, a person with hemochromatosis absorbs more, by as much as four times the normal amount. The human body has no natural way of eliminating the extra iron. In the presence of hemochromatosis, iron gets stored and accumulates in body tissue, especially in the liver, heart and pancreas. Untreated, hemochromatosis leads to failure of these major organs. Conventional medical treatment includes therapeutic phlebotomy, which is the removal of some blood to reduce iron levels. If you have hemochromatosis, there are certain foods you should avoid.

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disease that alters the body's ability to regulate iron absorption. If correctly diagnosed, HH is easily and effectively treated, but if untreated, it can lead to severe organ damage. Caucasians of northern European descent are at highest risk. An estimated one million people in the United States have hereditary hemochromatosis. HH causes the body to absorb too much iron. Normally humans extract needed iron from food via the intestines. When there is an adequate amount of iron, the body reduces its absorption to avoid excessive accumulations."

As it happens, one of the members was suffering from extreme fatigue and joint problems related to an autoimmune condition that was not responding to either vitamin C or dietary measures. In fact, she was getting progressively worse. A blood test analysis revealed high ferritin levels which indicated high iron stores. Furthermore, there was a history of hemochromatosis within the family. This prompted much research and learning which was posted on our Forum thread Hemochromatosis and Autoimmune Conditions . Slowly but surely, the picture of iron overload toxicity began to emerge and the final pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Several people who were having trouble recovering their health on a diet that was basically bulletproof were found to have iron overload. The healing diet which is a gluten and dairy free ketogenic diet with moderate intake of protein and plenty of animal fats does not work as it should be as long as there is excess iron in the body . Iron overload may affect any organ in the body and may include symptoms such as fatigue, depression, arthritis, irregular heart beat, high blood sugar and/or diabetes, shortness of breath, swelling of the abdomen and legs, jaundice, loss of sexual drive, premature menopause, loss of body hair, shriveling of the testicles, hypothyroidism, and redness of the palms of the hands."

Typically, the hereditary issue causes the body to absorb too much iron from the food an individual eats, which leads to excess iron stores in the organs, particularly the liver, heart and pancreas. As the iron stores increase, life-threatening conditions may arise including cancer, heart arrhythmias and cirrhosis of the liver. While some individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis never experience symptoms, several of the signs and symptoms associated with the condition mimic those of other common health conditions. Symptoms typically include joint pain, fatigue and overall weakness. Generally speaking, hemochromatosis is more likely to be serious in men. As such, the typical first sign of the disease in males involves organ damage including joint pain, diabetes, loss of sex drive, impotence and heart failure. The actual cause of hemochromatosis is a genetic mutation that affects the body’s absorption of iron. As such, the condition is genetic and passed from parents to children."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Pathophysiology Clinical Features Skin Biopsy Complications Show All References Overview Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a fairly common disease in whites and is a result of iron deposition in hepatocytes, myocardial fibers, and other visceral cells. The disease is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by mutations in the HFE gene. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent complications, facilitated by population screening. [ 1]The classic tetrad of manifestations resulting from hemochromatosis consists of (1) cirrhosis, (2) diabetes mellitus, (3) hyperpigmentation of the skin, and (4) cardiac failure. Clinical consequences also include hepatocellular carcinoma, impotence, and arthritis. The 2 missense mutations (C282Y and H63D) of the HFE gene are responsible for most cases of HH in patients of European descent. Analysis of HFE gene polymorphisms may help detect early disease. [ 2] The cutaneous hyperpigmentation seen in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis is primarily due to melanin rather than iron. [ 3]Hereditary hemochromatosis affects 1 in 200-300 individuals of northern European descent. The prevalence of HH in the United States is 1 case in 200-500 individuals."

Part II, “Melanoma, Seborrheic Keratoses, Acanthosis Nigricans, Melasma, Diabetic Dermopathy, Tinea Versicolor, and Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation,” appears in this issue on page 1963. The cause of hyperpigmentation usually is traced to the activity and presence of melanocytes. Café au lait macules may be solitary benign findings or may indicate the presence of neurofibromatosis with its associated complications. Diffuse hyperpigmentation should prompt a search for offending medications or systemic diseases such as hemochromatosis, hyperthyroidism, and Addison's disease. In these instances, the hyperpigmentation may be ameliorated by discontinuing offending medications, performing serial phlebotomy in patients with hemochromatosis, instituting cause-specific treatments in patients with hyperthyroidism, and replacing deficient glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids in patients with Addison's disease. Cosmetic treatment with bleaching agents or lasers can be used to decrease pigmentation of ephelides (freckles) and lentigines."

"text": "Home » Patients and Families » Blood Disorders » Other Hematological Disorders » Hemochromatosis Hemochromatosis The most common form of iron overload in the United States is a genetically determined disorder, the homozygous state for hereditary hemochromatosis, occurring in about 0.26% of the total population, or approximately 1 in 385 persons. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by inappropriate dietary absorption of iron and abnormal iron cycling causing progressive accumulation of iron in tissues, particularly the liver, pancreas, heart, endocrine organs, and skin which may lead to end-stage organ damage during or after middle age. HH is one of the most common inherited disorders in people of northern European descent with an incidence of 1:200 and carrier rate of 1:10 persons. Although the homozygous hemochromatosis genotype is relatively common, the clinical penetrance of the disorder is highly variable, and only a minority of affected persons develop severe or life-threatening organ dysfunction. The considerable variability in clinical penetrance of C282Y homozygosity, both in rate of accumulation or iron stores and appearance or organ dysfunction, may be the result of environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Classification Hereditary HFE-associated hemochromatosis with the great majority of affected persons being homozygous for the mutation designated C282Y (i.e., C282Y/C282Y) or are compound heterozygotes for the C282Y mutation and either the mutation identified as H63D (C282Y/H63D) or, in a smaller proportion or cases, that termed S65C (C282Y/S65C). This is located on chromosome 6, and one mutation leads to the substitution of the 282nd amino acid. Cysteine becomes tyrosine, therefore the mutation is called C282Y. The switch of amino acids is thought to affect how the HFE protein interacts with the transferrin receptor (TFR1), which plays an important role in iron homeostasis. A less common mutation, H63D, has also been identified in the HFE gene. Hereditary non-HFE-associated hemochromatosis is due to mutations in the gene for transferrin receptor 2 that is clinically indistinguishable from those with the FHE-associated form."

Females with hemochromatosis die at the same rate as men, but death may occur twenty years after menopause or cessation of menstrual cycle. For women, monthly blood loss due to period appears to serve as a preventive means of excess iron accumulation. For this reason, men might realize the same benefit by donating blood. According to University of Kansas Medical Center cardiologist David Meyers, MD, Iron Disorders Institute Medical & Scientific Advisory Board member \"\"males can reduce risk of heart attack by 50% with one blood donation a year.\"\" Chronic fatigue and joint pain are among the first and most common symptoms reported by patients with hemochromatosis.

"text": "Fact Sheet : Hemochromatosis The C282Y gene mutation. By Adam Farley, Editorial Assistant August / September 2013Hemochromatosis (he-moe-krome-uh-TOE-sis)Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disease caused by a recessive genetic mutation that makes the body absorb too much iron, resulting in excess amounts being deposited in vital organs, most commonly the liver, heart, and pancreas. Luckily, only a small number of people with the genetic mutation develop serious problems, but even so, excess iron can poison those organs, effectively “rusting” them, resulting in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, cirrhosis, and other life-threatening diseases. Since the discovery of the mutation in 1996, hemochromatosis has been called the “Celtic Curse,” “Irish Illness,” “Scottish Sickness,” and the “British Gene” for good reasons. Research suggests that the mutation occurred in Ireland to conserve iron in the bodies of the Celts who lacked an iron-rich diet. Now that we have iron-heavy foods readily accessible, the evolutionary development has become a disease that disproportionately afflicts people with Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and British heritage, who are three times more likely to suffer from hemochromatosis. Because it is caused by a recessive gene, hemochromatosis will only occur if both parents pass on the mutated gene. People with only one mutated gene are carriers. Among the Irish, estimates suggest that one in four are carriers. And of the roughly 34.7 million Irish Americans, about 5.6 million are carriers."

"text": "Diagnosis Hereditary hemochromatosis can be difficult to diagnose. Early symptoms such as stiff joints and fatigue may be due to conditions other than hemochromatosis. Many people with the disease don't have any signs or symptoms other than elevated levels of iron in their blood. Hemochromatosis may be identified because of abnormal blood tests done for other reasons or from screening of family members of people diagnosed with the disease. Blood tests The two key tests to detect iron overload are: Serum transferrin saturation. This test measures the amount of iron bound to a protein (transferrin) that carries iron in your blood. Transferrin saturation values greater than 45 percent are considered too high. Serum ferritin. This test measures the amount of iron stored in your liver. If the results of your serum transferrin saturation test are higher than normal, your doctor will check your serum ferritin."

"text": "Hemochromatosis Diet Tips Hemochromatosis is a disorder that results in too much iron being absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Here is some diet information from the Iron Disorders Institute to help you understand what foods can help absorb less iron as well as foods to avoid that increase iron absorption. If a person has abnormally high body iron levels, he or she will want to consume foods or substances that lower the amount of iron absorbed. People with complicated iron balance issues associated hemochromatosis will need to work out an individual diet plan starting with the diet for iron balance. Substances that increase iron absorption Alcohol Although alcohol can enhance the absorption of iron. Obviously, since alcohol places additional strain on a damaged liver, alcohol should not be consumed to increase iron absorption. Alcohol increases the risk of liver damage, liver cancer and blood cell production. Ascorbic acid More commonly known as vitamin C, this substance occurs naturally in vegetables and fruits, especially citrus. Ascorbic acid can easily be mixed with other food products. Ascorbic acid enhances the absorption of nutrients such as iron."

Cox Laboratory for Biomedical Engineering, Rice University NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version (See also Overview of Blood Clotting Disorders . ) Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in one of two blood clotting factors: factor VIII or factor IX. Several different gene abnormalities can cause the disorder. People bleed unexpectedly or after minor injuries. Blood tests are needed for diagnosis. Transfusions are given to replace missing clotting factors. Clotting factors are proteins that interact to help the blood clot, stopping bleeding. There are two forms of hemophilia. Hemophilia A, which accounts for about 80% of all cases, is a deficiency in clotting factor VIII."

Coagulation Blood coagulation pathways in vivo showing the central role played by thrombin Health Beneficial Coagulation (also known as clotting) is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion, and aggregation of platelets along with deposition and maturation of fibrin. Disorders of coagulation are disease states which can result in bleeding ( hemorrhage or bruising) or obstructive clotting ( thrombosis ). [ 1]Coagulation is highly conserved throughout biology; in all mammals, coagulation involves both a cellular (platelet) and a protein (coagulation factor) component. [ 2] The system in humans has been the most extensively researched and is the best understood. [ 3]Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the blood vessel has damaged the endothelium lining the vessel. Leaking of blood through the endothelium initiates two processes: changes in platelets, and the exposure of subendothelial tissue factor to plasma Factor VII, which ultimately leads to fibrin formation."

"text": "Health Mental Health What type of genetic disorder is hemophilia?is it Sex linked Mutation Autosomal dominant Autosomal Recessive Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It is a recessive, sex-linked disorder and because of this it is more likely to occur in males than females. The defective gene is on the X chromosome, and because females have two X chromosomes while males have only one, the defective gene will always affect any male who carries it. With two X chromosomes, the chance of a female having a defective gene on each chromosome is low. This means that females are usually just carriers of the disorder, they don't express the disorder in their phenotype. Female carriers can inherit the defective gene from either their mother or father (except if its a mutation) which means that a girl must inherit the defective gene from both her mother and father in order to be a symptomatic carrier. Since haemophilia is rare, this is does not happen often.

Congenital hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by an absent or reduced level of clotting factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9). In a person with normal amounts of clotting factors, when bleeding starts, all of the clotting factors work together to form a clot that stops the bleeding. People with hemophilia (PWH) are missing or have reduced amounts of one of these important clotting factors so bleeding continues until they receive treatment. People with factor VIII deficiency (hemophilia A, or “classic hemophilia”) have abnormalities or changes in the gene for FVIII, called mutations. As a result, they have absent or low levels of factor VIII in the blood. Without enough factor VIII, the body cannot form a stable blood clot. People with factor IX deficiency (hemophilia B, or “Christmas disease”) have abnormalities or changes in the gene for factor IX, called mutations. As a result, they have absent or low levels of factor IX in the blood. Without enough factor IX, the body cannot form a stable blood clot."

This is accomplished by solidification of the blood, a process called coagulation or clotting. A blood clot consists ofa plug of platelets enmeshed in anetwork of insoluble fibrin molecules. Platelet aggregation and fibrin formation both require the proteolytic enzyme thrombin . Clotting also requires:calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) (which is why blood banks use a chelating agent to bind the calcium in donated blood so the blood will not clot in the bag).about a dozen other protein clotting factors. Most of these circulate in the blood as inactive precursors. They are activated by proteolytic cleavage becoming, in turn, active proteases for other factors in the system. By tradition, these factors are designated by Roman numerals. I find this somewhat cumbersome and will use Arabic numerals as well.

Related to classical hemophilia: hemophilic, Haemophiliacs, Hemophiliacs Hemophilia Definition Hemophilia is a genetic disorder—usually inherited—of the mechanism of blood clotting. Depending on the degree of the disorder present in an individual, excess bleeding may occur only after specific,predictable events (such as surgery, dental procedures, or injury), or occur spontaneously, with no known initiating event. Description The normal mechanism for blood clotting is a complex series of events involving the interaction of the injured blood vessel, blood cells (called platelets), and over 20 different proteins which alsocirculate in the blood. When a blood vessel is injured in a way that causes bleeding, platelets collect over the injured area,and form a temporary plug to prevent further bleeding. This temporary plug, however, is toodisorganized to serve as a long-term solution, so a series of chemical events occur, resulting in theformation of a more reliable plug. The final plug involves tightly woven fibers of a material calledfibrin. The production of fibrin requires the interaction of several chemicals, in particular a series of proteins called clotting factors. At least thirteen different clotting factors have been identified. The clotting cascade, as it is usually called, is the series of events required to form the final fibrinclot."

Description Coagulation, or clotting, occurs as a complex process involving several components of the blood. Plasma, the fluid component of the blood, carries a number of proteins and coagulation factorsthat regulate bleeding. Platelets, small colorless fragments in the blood, initiate contraction of damaged blood vessels so that less blood is lost. They also help plug damaged blood vesselsand work with plasma to accelerate blood clotting. A disorder affecting platelet production or one of the many steps in the entire process can disrupt clotting. Coagulation disorders arise from different causes and produce different complications.

Children with hemophilia lack the ability to stop bleeding because of the low levels, or complete absence, of specific proteins, called factors, in their blood that are necessary for clotting. Proper clotting of blood helps prevent excessive bleeding. What are the different types of hemophilia? There are many factors in the blood that are involved in the forming of clots to stop bleeding. A child with hemophilia is missing, or has a low supply of, one of the factors needed in order for the blood to clot. Two common factors that affect blood clotting are factor VIII and factor IX.

This means that in a person with two X chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each X chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one X chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. A female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the X chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an X-linked condition. A male with a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome is typically affected with the condition. Because females have two copies of the X chromosome and males have only one X chromosome, X-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. However, X-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females."

"text": "\"INBREEDING IN HUMANSEugene Ochap Genetics 5353-22-04Inbreeding is simply defined as the mating of relatives. It is a mating system in which individuals carry alleles that originated from a common ancestor. Inbreeding is considered a problem in humans because inbreeding increases the chances of receiving a deleterious recessive allele inherited from a common ancestor. When discussing inbreeding, the level at which is taking place becomes important. Most studies are concerned with close inbreeding, also known as incest, which usually sets a threshold at the level of first-cousin mating (Thornhill 1993). When discussing inbreeding, one of the most important values to be concerned with is the inbreeding coefficient. The inbreeding coefficient represents the probability that an offspring will receive a gene from each parent that is a copy of a single shared ancestral gene. The inbreeding coefficient is zero if the parents do not share a common ancestor, and if the inbreeding coefficient is one than the offspring has a 100% chance of receiving two copies of the ancestral gene. However, this maximum inbreeding coefficient of one cannot be achieved in human populations ( Dorsten 1999). In western civilization consanguineous marriages and human inbreeding have been frowned upon by society for some time now."

[ 2] [3] This results in people bleeding longer after an injury, easy bruising, and an increased risk of bleeding inside joints or the brain. [ 1] Those with a mild case of the disease may have symptoms only after an accident or during surgery. [ 1] Bleeding into a joint can result in permanent damage while bleeding in the brain can result in long term headaches, seizures, or a decreased level of consciousness. [ 1]There are two main types of haemophilia: haemophilia A, which occurs due to not enough clotting factor VIII, and haemophilia B, which occurs due to not enough clotting factor IX. [ 2] They are typically inherited from one's parents through an X chromosome with a nonfunctional gene. [ 6] Rarely a new mutation may occur during early development or haemophilia may develop later in life due to antibodies forming against a clotting factor. [ 2] [6] Other types include haemophilia C, which occurs due to not enough factor XI, and parahaemophilia, which occurs due to not enough factor V. [7] [8] Acquired haemophilia is associated with cancers, autoimmune disorders, and pregnancy. [ 9] [10] Diagnosis is by testing the blood for its ability to clot and its levels of clotting factors.

Synonyms of Hemophilia Aclassical hemophiliafactor VIII deficiencyhaemophilia ASubdivisions of Hemophilia ANo subdivisions found General Discussion Summary Hemophilia A, also known as classical hemophilia, is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by insufficient levels of a blood protein called factor VIII. Factor VIII is a clotting factor. Clotting factors are specialized proteins that are essential for proper clotting, the process by which blood clumps together to plug the site of a wound to stop bleeding. Individuals with hemophilia A do not bleed faster or more profusely than healthy individuals, but, because their blood clots poorly, they have difficulty stopping the flow of blood from a wound. This may be referred to as prolonged bleeding or a prolonged bleeding episode. Hemophilia A can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the baseline level of factor VIII made by that individual. In mild cases, prolonged bleeding episodes may only occur after surgery, dental procedures or trauma. In more severely affected individuals, symptoms may include prolonged bleeding from minor wounds, painful swollen bruises, and unexplained (spontaneous) bleeding into vital organs as well as joints and muscles (internal bleeding). Hemophilia A is caused by disruptions or changes (mutations) to the F8 gene on the X chromosome."

A century ago, the relationship of genes and chromosomes was not so obvious. Many biologists were skeptical about Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment until evidence mounted that they had a physical basis in the behavior of chromosomes. Concept 15.1 Mendelian inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomes Around 1900, cytologists and geneticists began to see parallels between the behavior of chromosomes and the behavior of Mendel’s factors. Using improved microscopy techniques, cytologists worked out the process of mitosis in 1875 and meiosis in the 1890s. Chromosomes and genes are both present in pairs in diploid cells. Homologous chromosomes separate and alleles segregate during meiosis. Fertilization restores the paired condition for both chromosomes and genes. Around 1902, Walter Sutton, Theodor Boveri, and others noted these parallels and a chromosome theory of inheritance began to take form: Genes occupy specific loci on chromosomes. Chromosomes undergo segregation during meiosis."

You may be given the drugs as pills to swallow, by injection or through a catheter (a thin, flexible tube or intravenous line) surgically placed in a vein, normally in your upper chest.

Chemotherapy During chemotherapy, you'll be given potent drugs that must be toxic enough to damage or kill leukemic cells. At the same time, they take aim at normal cells and can cause side effects. Yet, not everyone experiences side effects and people react differently. Doctors commonly combine two or more chemotherapy drugs to treat CLL.

Top Abstract Lapatinib is a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has clinical activity in HER2-amplified breast cancer. In vitro studies have shown that lapatinib enhances the effects of the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab suggesting partially non-overlapping mechanisms of action. To dissect these mechanisms, we have studied the effects of lapatinib and trastuzumab on receptor expression and receptor signaling and have identified a new potential mechanism for the enhanced antitumor activity of the combination. Lapatinib, given alone or in combination with trastuzumab to HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells SKBR3 and MCF7-HER2, inhibited HER2 phosphorylation, prevented receptor ubiquitination and resulted in a marked accumulation of inactive receptors at the cell surface. By contrast, trastuzumab alone caused enhanced HER2 phosphorylation, ubiquitination and degradation of the receptor. By immunoprecipitation and computational protein modeling techniques we have shown that the lapatinib-induced HER2 accumulation at the cell surface also results in the stabilization of inactive HER2 homo- (HER2 / HER2) and hetero- (HER2 / EGFR and HER2 / HER3) dimers. Lapatinib-induced accumulation of HER2 and trastuzumab-mediated downregulation of HER2 was also observed in vivo, where the combination of the two agents triggered complete tumor remissions in all cases after 10 days of treatment. Accumulation of HER2 at the cell surface by lapatinib enhanced immune-mediated trastuzumab-dependent cytotoxicity."

"text": "Clinical Applications of Monoclonal Antibodies Monoclonal Antibodies Approved by FDA for Clinical Use The first monoclonal antibody used in the clinic was AB 89 against anon-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patient in 1983.7 As of today, close to 100 monoclonal antibody-based drugs are under Phase II and Phase III clinical trials, each with more efficacy and less toxicity levels (8.9) and will soon come up for FDA approval. There already a handful that has been approved for cancer treatment (Table 1), both for hematologic malignancies as well as solid tumors. Hematologic malignancies: A number of antigens and their collateral monoclonal antibodies have been identified for the treatment of B cell malignancies. CD20, CD52 and CD22 are attractive targets for B cell malignancies and different forms of lymphocytic leukemia. Each one of the aforementioned antigens plays a role in B and T cell activation, proliferation and differentiation and hence targeting them attenuates cancer cell growth. ( 25,26) As an example, using rituximab as first-line treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, one-year survival was 69% and two years survival was 67%. ( 27-29) The duration of response obtained is not seen in other existent forms of cancer treatment and is thus relatively impressive. Solid tumors With solid tumors, cell type specificity becomes an issue as there are not many specific targets for monoclonal antibodies that are not cross-reactive with antigens on normal tissues. Trastuzumab is the most widely used monoclonal antibody against solid tumor in the USA. As an alternative first-line monotherapy, trastuzumab has demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with metastatic breast cancer that has rarely been seen with other medicinal approaches."

Not only does this provide the basis for protection against disease organisms, but it makes antibodies attractive candidates to target other types of molecules found in the body, such as:receptors or other proteins present on the surface of normal cellsmolecules present uniquely on the surface of cancer cells. Thus the remarkable specificity of antibodies makes them promising agents for human therapy. Imagine, for example, being able tomake an antibody that will bind only to the cancer cells in a patientcoupling a cytotoxic agent (e.g. a strong radioactive isotope) to that antibody, and thengiving the complex to the patient so it can seek out and destroy the cancer cells (and no normal cells). But there are problems to be solved before antibodies can be used in human therapy.1. The response of the immune system to any antigen, even the simplest, is polyclonal. That is, the system manufactures antibodies of a great range of structures both in their binding regions as well as in their effector regions. Link to a discussion of how antibody diversity is created.2. Even if one were to isolate a single antibody-secreting cell, and place it in culture, it would die out after a few generations because of the limited growth potential of all normal somatic cells.

[ 3] [4] [5] [6] Trastuzumab alone stops growth of cancer cells by binding to the HER2/neu receptor, whereas DM1 enters cells and destroys them by binding to tubulin. [ 7] Trastuzumab binding to Her2 prevents homodimerization or heterodimerization (Her2/Her3) of the receptor, ultimately inhibiting the activation of MAPK and PI3K/AKT cellular signalling pathways. Because the monoclonal antibody targets HER2, and HER2 is only over-expressed in cancer cells, the conjugate delivers the toxin specifically to tumor cells. [ 8] The conjugate is abbreviated T-DM1. In the EMILIA clinical trial of women with advanced HER2 positivebreast cancer who were already resistant to trastuzumab alone, it improved median overall survival by 5.8 months (30.9 months vs. 25.1 months) compared to the combination of lapatinib and capecitabine.

"text": "THERANOSTICS an emerging tool in drug discovery and commercialisation. Fall 02By Dr Ian Gilham Fall 2002The increasing cost of healthcare along with new opportunities for improved treatments puts ever increasing pressures on healthcare budgets. In recent years the diagnostic industry in particular has been the target of a number of cost-cutting exercises by governments and payers aimed at restricting the utilisation of diagnostic tests. This in turn has exerted significant pressure on the diagnostic industry to maintain innovation and product enhancement in the face of restricted market growth. More recently, similar pressures have built on the pharmaceutical industry with increasing demands from payers for proof of efficacy and cost-effectiveness as well as regulators demanding proof of safety. Help may be at hand, however, from the emerging field of theranostics in which the developing technologies and capabilities of the diagnostic sector are increasingly applied to improving efficiency and economics of the discovery, development and marketing of medicines. This paper explores the principles of theranostics, current and future applications as well as attempting to define the real potential gains for pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies. The term theranostics was probably first used by Pharma Netics president and CEO John Funkhouser in describing his company’s business model in developing diagnostic tests directly linked to the application of a specific therapies. In the case of Pharma Netics this takes the form of new generations of point of care coagulation tests supporting coagulation therapies: Diagnostics – the ability to define a disease state. Theranostics – the ability to affect therapy or treatment of a disease state."

An antibody is a protein that sticks to a specific protein called an antigen. Antibodies circulate throughout the body until they find and attach to the antigen. Once attached, they can recruit other parts of the immune system to destroy the cells containing the antigen. Researchers can design antibodies that specifically target a certain antigen, such as one found on cancer cells. They can then make many copies of that antibody in the lab. These are known as monoclonal antibodies (m Abs). Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat many diseases, including some types of cancer. To make a monoclonal antibody, researchers first have to identify the right antigen to attack. For cancer, this is not always easy, and so far m Abs have proven to be more useful against some cancers than others."

ERBB2 is most commonly known as HER2 and sometimes also as NEU. For this article, it will be referred to as HER2. HER2 gene product is overexpressed in 18-20% of invasive breast cancers. [ 1]The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists issued the following updated recommendations for HER2 testing in breast cancer [ 2]: HER2 status should be determined in all patients with invasive breast cancer on the basis of 1 or more test results. HER2-positive status is indicated by evidence of protein overexpression or gene amplification. When results are equivocal, reflex testing should be performed with an alternative assay, and repeat testing should be considered if results are discordant with other findings. Laboratories should be able to show high concordance with a validated HER2 test on a large and representative set of specimens, and testing must be performed in an accredited laboratory. Providers should recommend HER2-targeted therapies if the patient's HER2 test result is positive and such treatment is clinically appropriate. Most experts do not recommend HER2-targeted therapy if the HER2 test result is negative and there is no histopathologic discordance with HER2 testing."

An antibody ( Ab ), also known as an immunoglobulin ( Ig ), [1] is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the pathogen, called an antigen, via the Fab's variable region.

Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival). Depending on the antigen, the binding may impede the biological process causing the disease or may activate macrophages to destroy the foreign substance. The ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region (located at the base of the \"\"Y\"\"), which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions.

The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses. Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries. Facts Heroin-related overdose deaths are on the rise, but proven strategies are available to reduce the harms associated with heroin use, treat dependence and addiction, and prevent overdose fatalities. These strategies include expanding access to the life-saving medicine naloxone and its associated training; enacting legal protections that encourage people to call for help for overdose victims; and training people how to prevent, recognize and respond to an overdose. The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs."

Immediately it was introduced, it replaced opium. Doctors preferred morphine to alcohol because alcohol was more harmful to the body. Morphine was used as an anesthesia during Civil War and the patients were given to use as a painkiller. Unfortunately, at the end of the war the soldiers became addicted to morphine (Hodgeson & United States, 2001). In 1906, the Drugs Acts required clear labeling of medicines and there was restriction on opium use. There was continued use of morphine until heroin came to existence. It was also said to have cure of morphine addiction (Franklin, 2006). Morphine molecular structure is seventeen carbon atoms, nineteen hydrogen atoms and one molecule of nitrate."

Often used by and associated with the treatment of heroin addicts it is also used for other medical purposes such as pain relief. The drug shares many of the same effects and characteristics of morphine and acts in similar ways to it and other narcotic medications. However, with methadone the gradual and mild onset of action prevents the user from getting high and experiencing euphoric effects. 1 Doses used in heroin treatment vary based on a person's body weight and opiate tolerance; but proper dosage is measured and determined by a patients decline in opiate cravings. Despite its use in the treatment community, there are addicts who use methadone as their primary drug of choice. Supplies of the drug for these users are illegal and are diverted from legitimate methadone programs by enrolled methadone patients. 2 In 2000, there were an estimated 1,200 treatment facilities in the U. S. dispensing methadone. 3 The drug is currently a Schedule II and is available in oral solutions, tablets, and injectable forms. 4 And although there is no one manufacturer responsible for producing methadone, the active ingredient is always the same: methadone hydrochloride."

Opium can be extracted to produce heroin, an illegal drug that has a high abuse potential. The cultivation of poppies dates back many civilizations in an effort to provide pain relief and deep sedation. It was also used for ritualistic purposes. Opium has been regulated around the world since the early twentieth century. Opium contains alkaloids including morphine, codeine and thebaine. Morphine was first isolated from the opium poppy in the early 1800’s. Heroin, first synthesized in 1874, was the first semi-synthetic opiate and was legally prescribed for a time. Oxycodone, derived from thebaine, was first synthesized in the early 1900’s and is marketed today under names including Oxy Contin and Percocet. Synthetic opiates including methadone and fentanyl have also been synthesized from opium and are prescribed today."

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 4.2 million Americans had used heroin at least once in their lives by the year 2011. A user might sniff, smoke, or inject heroin. All three routes of administration deliver heroin to the brain very quickly. Physiological Effects of Heroin Use Once inside the brain, heroin converts to morphine, which binds to opioid receptors in the brain. These receptors are located in many places in the brain, especially in the areas that perceive pain and pleasure. There are also opioid receptors in the brainstem that controls critical processes, including breathing, blood pressure, and awareness. Many who inject heroin describe a rush, which is a surge of euphoria, and sometimes experience a dry mouth, heaviness of extremities, and altered mental functioning. Sniffing or smoking may not cause this rush."

"text": "\"Snorting Heroin Heroin can be snorted, just like cocaine. This method is sometimes less popular as it is much more painful. This is because snorting heroin into your sinuses and nasal passages is significantly more uncomfortable than using a syringe. Snorting heroin results in an onset of desired effects within 3 to 5 minutes, while smoking (another way people use this drug) results in an almost immediate effect that, unsurprisingly, tends to become more and more intense as the user continues to smoke. Intravenous injection, which is what many people have perceived to be the only method of taking heroin, takes about 30 seconds to work, nearly as fast as smoking. People also inject heroin intramuscularly and subcutaneously, though these methods tend to be slower in taking effect, usually about 3 to five minutes. When snorting heroin, how much does the user inhale? It seems to depend on the quality of the heroin itself — where it came from, whether it's natural or synthesized, how much it is cut and with what (street heroin can range from zero to 90 percent pure), as well as a person's body size and developed tolerance. When snorting heroin, the person has to snort more than if they were injecting or smoking, and it takes approximately 10 - 15 minutes to feel “high” (longer than from injecting or smoking). When one snorts heroin, they will probably get sick, their nose will run uncontrollably, and they will get stomach cramps."

Carfentanil is an analog of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, shown here in molecular form, and is thought to be 100 times more potent. [ Source Photos: Ben Mills, Journal of Chemical Crystallography, Wikipedia (fentanyl molecule), and Flickr user Mark Skipper]By Steven Melendez long Read In the past few months, a string of overdoses across the U. S. has been linked to an opioid drug so potent that it’s not intended for human consumption. Carfentanil is the world’s most powerful commercial opioid, considered to be 100 times more potent than its relative fentanyl, the carefully controlled prescription painkiller linked to Prince’s death, which itself is 50 times stronger than heroin. Originally synthesized in the 1970s, carfentanil is marketed under the name Wildnil as a general anaesthetic for large animals like elephants, and was never intended for humans. But like any number of new synthetic drugs, it’s easily finding its way from clandestine labs and into the illicit drug supply through the mail. Sold openly on the web or through drug markets on the anonymous Tor network, the drug is being added to heroin and counterfeit pain medication by traffickers and often taken by users who don’t know exactly what they’re consuming. “We’re seeing a lot of the activity take place over the internet through anonymous relationships between a consumer and the drug manufacturer or source of supply,” says Russ Baer, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration. The agency has warned communities across the country to be on alert for the drug, and has told first responders to wear protective gloves and masks, since the drug can be dangerous to someone who simply touches it. “Again, we can’t stress this enough, carfentanil is meant to be purchased by *only* experienced fentanyl users with a high tolerance,” wrote one dealer on a hidden site."

Elsewhere in the body the extracellular concentrations of hormones, amino acids and potassium undergo frequent fluctuations, especially after meals, exercise or stressful times. Since many of these molecules regulate neuronal excitability, a similar change in the composition of interstitial fluid in the CNS can lead to uncontrolled brain activity. The endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier are highly specialized to allow precise control over the substances that enter or leave the brain. Discovery of blood-brain barrier. The discovery of the BBB dates back more than 100 years when, in the 1880s, Paul Ehrlich observed that intravenous administration of certain dyes (e.g. trypan blue) stained all organs except the brain and the spinal cord. He concluded that the dyes had a lower affinity for binding to the nervous system as compared to other tissues. In 1913, Edwin Goldman, an associate of Ehrlich, demonstrated the very same dyes, when directly injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), readily stained nervous tissue but not other tissues. The term “blood-brain barrier” was coined, however, by Lewandowsky in 1898, after he and his colleagues had performed experiments to demonstrate that neurotoxic agents affected brain function only when directly injected into the brain but not when injected into the vascular system. It took an additional 70 years until Reese and colleagues localized the barrier to the capillary endothelial cells within the brain by electron-microscopic studies."

Opium derivatives include a vast number of opiates and opioid analgesic medications that are either in raw form from the plant such as Codeine or Morphine or which are synthesized in a laboratory setting such as Oxycodone or Hydrocodone. It’s important to know the medications that you are taking and to ensure that you understand which medications come from opium in some manner to ensure that you don’t overdose and for your safety. Some opium derivatives come directly from the opium poppy plant, such as morphine and heroin. Generally, opium derivatives can be broken down into two common groups- those which are directly from the plant such as morphine, codeine and heroin and those which are semi-synthetic such as Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Hydromorphine which is also known as Dilaudid on the streets. Many drugs are synthesized from the raw versions of opiates. For instance, Vicodin and Demerol are actually derived from Morphine which comes raw from the opium poppy. Semi-synthetic drugs are opium derivatives which include the use of a raw form of opium such as morphine paired with a synthetic or non-natural drug. Some of the most common semi-synthetic drugs are also the most widely used on the streets today and have the highest potential for abuse, physical and psychological dependence and addiction."

It is synthesized from morphine, which is an opiate chemical derived from the opium poppy. 1 It generally comes in the form of a white or brown powder, but can also be purchased as “black tar heroin,” a black, sticky substance. 1Heroin can be cut, or diluted, with inert substances such as sugar or starch, but unscrupulous dealers may use harmful substances, even including poisons such as strychnine or more potent prescription opioids like fentanyl to cut heroin. The unwitting use of these adulterant substances can prove to be even more dangerous than abuse of heroin alone. Recreational drug users inject, smoke, or snort it. Once the heroin enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain, users begin to experience its effects. Intravenously injecting it can produce effects almost instantly, whereas smoking or snorting the drug may take as long as 15 minutes to produce any effects. 2Heroin is metabolized to morphine in the brain, which then interacts with opioid receptors to diminish the perception of pain, as well as influence our natural reward systems. When certain drug thresholds are reached within the brain, various vital life functions such as breathing and heart rate will also be negatively impacted."

Morphine is the principal alkaloid in opium and the name morphine was derived from the Greek god of dreams - Morpheus. The psychological effects of opium were known to the ancient Sumerians, but the first undisputed reference to the opium poppy dates from the third century B. C. Like so many drugs, modern chemistry has extensively experimented with the drug's chemistry, resulting in more useful, potent, and addictive opioid derivatives. The invention of the hypodermic needle increased the abuse of morphine. The smoking of opium by the Chinese workers in the late 1800's, use of morphine for Civil War casualties, and lack of regulation until the first part of the 20th century all contributed to the rise of opioid abuse. Heroin, a very potent opioid, was synthesized for use during the Civil War resulting in the addiction of many Civil War soldiers. Pharmacological Properties Opioids are the preferred term referring to the large chemistry of exogenous substances binding to opioid receptor sites producing agonistic effects. Opioids share some of the properties of naturally present peptides called endorphins and enkephalins. Opioids have specific receptor sites causing the effects which may be specifically blocked by opioid antagonists such as naloxone or naltrexone, related chemical structures that will bind to the receptor displacing opioids. This drug is used as an antidote to opioid overdose."

They constitute about 8% of the human genome. Evolutionists assume that all endogenous retroviruses are remnants of germ line infection by exogenous retroviruses. However, the essential beneficial function of some ERVs and complex interaction between ERVs and other host DNA sequences suggest that some retroviruses were created in the cell as part of the host genome. The original ERV elements were endowed with the ability to package themselves in proteins and lipids and leave the host cell as infectious particles. Thus we speculate exogenous retroviruses were derived from endogenous retroviruses (exogenization, as opposed to endogenization). The ability of retroviruses to transpose within the host cell or to infect another host may have been designed for protein-coding, for gene regulation, and for DNA repair by homologous and non-homologous recombination. After the Fall, retroviral elements have been degraded by mutations. Retroviral insertion into the host genome also became deregulated, causing insertional mutagenesis. Deregulation of exogenous retroviruses resulted in pathogenesis."

"text": "The Loom The Lurker: How A Virus Hid In Our Genome For Six Million Years Posted Fri, 05/10/2013In the mid-2000s, David Markovitz, a scientist at the University of Michigan, and his colleagues took a look at the blood of people infected with HIV. Human immunodeficiency viruses kill their hosts by exhausting the immune system, allowing all sorts of pathogens to sweep into their host’s body. So it wasn’t a huge surprise for Markovitz and his colleagues to find other viruses in the blood of the HIV patients. What was surprising was where those other viruses had come from: from within the patients’ own DNA. HIV belongs to a class of viruses called retroviruses. They all share three genes in common. One, called gag, gives rise to the inner shell where the virus’s genes are stored. Another, called env, makes knobs on the outer surface of the virus, that allow it to latch onto cells and invade them. And a third, called pol, makes an enzyme that inserts the virus’s genes into its host cell’s DNA. It turns out that the human genome contains segments of DNA that match pol, env, and gag."

In this blog post, I will compare what it would take to perform the same project on a virtualized environment (on your own hardware) and hosted in a collocation environment (private hosting). As with the previous cost comparison blog, a few assumptions are necessary to fix certain parameters that could otherwise significantly impact the results. General Assumptions: The project requires new licenses The project needs to achieve high availability up to 99.95%The project does not need disaster recovery Data center quality hardware is used for this project using similar specifications than those used in the cloud estimates On-Premise Assumptions: The project requires new hardware (servers) but will run on an existing infrastructure (routers, firewalls…)The project will use an existing network storage (SAN) for the database (for database clustering)The same physical machine will host both the database server and the IIS virtual machines Use virtualization with Windows Server 2012Maintenance cost is about 20% per year on top of hardware and software costs Private Hosting Assumptions: Use simpler VMs for web hosting and dedicated servers for the database Assume clustering VMs is possible for SQL Server The project specifications, as provided in the previous blog post, are as follows: SQL Server database, Enterprise Edition, 10GB of storage, 1CPU, 1 million requests, 10GB per month of data tx10 Websites running ASP.

Members of this family that infect humans are called HTLVs, and the ones that infect Old World monkeys are called Simian T-lymphotropic viruses (STLVs). To date, four types of HTLVs ( human T-lymphotropic virus 1 [HTLV-I], human T-lymphotropic virus 2 [HTLV-II], HTLV-III, and HTLV-IV) and four types of STLVs (STLV-I, STLV-II, STLV-III, and STLV-V) have been identified. HTLV types HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 viruses are the first retroviruses which were discovered. Both belong to the oncovirus subfamily of retroviruses and can transform human lymphocytes so that they are self-sustaining in vitro. [ 1] The HTLVs are believed to originate from intraspecies transmission of STLVs. The original name for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was HTLV-III. The HTLV-1 genome is diploid, composed of two copies of a single-stranded RNA virus whose genome is copied into a double-stranded DNA form that integrates into the host cell genome, at which point the virus is referred to as a provirus. A closely related virus is bovine leukemia virus BLV."

Retroviruses are named for an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, which was discovered independently in 1971 by American virologists Howard Temin and David Baltimore. Reverse transcriptase transcribes RNA into deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ), a process that constitutes a reversal of the usual direction of cellular transcription (DNA into RNA). The action of reverse transcriptase makes it possible for genetic material from a retrovirus to become permanently incorporated into the DNA genome of an infected cell; the enzyme is widely used in the biological sciences to synthesize genes.

"text": "\"The Neo-Expressionist Style Neo-Expressionist painting is a form of contemporary art which is rooted in early 20th century German Expressionism. Its general style is often marked by vivid colours and contrasts, in the tradition of fauvism; rapid, violent brushwork; distorted subject matter; and a generally spontaneous technique, sometimes incorporating 'found' objects. As the movement developed, artists turned for inspiration to romantic and historical subject matter, the natural world, and primitivism. Philosophically, neo-expressionist painters typically sought to illustrate the isolation of man, and the alienation engendered by modern society. These issues were often best understood by the Old World of Europe, rather than the New World of America. This tension was further underlined by an element of competition between these two geographical blocs who each saw themselves as the centre of contemporary art. Neo-Expressionism in Germany In Germany, where the style was known as Neue Wilden or New Fauves, the style was intense - not least in its choice of subject - and referenced the 'German Identity', post-Nazism, urban violence, and numerous allusions to primal instincts. Brutal spontaneous brushstrokes, plus vivid Fauvist-style colours, often straight from the tube, were used to create violent, sometimes unfinished forms. Leading German postmodernist artists associated with neo-expressionism, include: Georg Baselitz (b.1938), Gerhard Richter (b.1932), Jorg Immendorff (b.1945), Anselm Kiefer (b.1945), Bernd Zimmer (b.1948), Rainer Fetting (b.1949), Bernd Koberling (b.1938), Markus Lupertz (b.1941), and A. R. Penck [Ralf Winkler] (b.1939). Neo-Expressionism in America Bad Painting and New Image Painting were two US schools of painting which are traditionally classified under the heading neo-expressionism."

Gypsy jazz came from Paris in the form of a string band founded by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli, called Le Quintette du Hot Club de France, which set the precedent for the Gypsy-jazz ensemble and instrumentation. In the original quintet, Django and Stéphane were supported by two rhythm guitars and upright bass. To this day, one can find “Hot Club”-style groups with similar configurations flourishing throughout the world. As a guitarist, it is important to know about Django Reinhardt, as his contribution was profound and his influence far-reaching."

Abstract The human genome contains a large number of endogenous retroviruses (HERVs). Their reactivation has frequently been observed in patients with cancer. Considering their role in the carcinogenesis process, we aimed to study the possible relationship between HERVs gene expression and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). We focused on two viral genes gag and np 9, the latter presumably an oncogene. We found that the transcriptional activity of HERV-K np 9 gene was greater in CLL patients than in healthy donors. However, gag expression was not significantly increased. These findings suggest a noteworthy relationship between CLL disease and HERV-K np 9 expression.

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont, loosely based on the Stephen King novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The film stars Tim Robbins as Andrew \"\"Andy\"\" Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd \"\"Red\"\" Redding. The film portrays Andy spending nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison, a fictional penitentiary in Maine and his friendship with Red, a fellow inmate. The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in and around the city of Mansfield, Ohio, located in north-central Ohio. The prison featured in the film is the old Ohio State Reformatory immediately north of downtown Mansfield. Most of the prison yard has now been demolished to make room for expansion of the adjacent Richland Correctional Institute, but the Reformatory's Gothic Administration Building remains standing and, due to its prominent use in films, has become a tourist attraction. Several exterior scenes were shot at the Malabar Farm State Park, in nearby Lucas, Ohio. [ 3] The sequence in which Andy is parked outside his home contemplating murdering his wife was filmed at the Pugh Cabin within the park. The sequences representing the village of Buxton and the field where Red finds Andy's hidden letter were filmed on private land located opposite the park entrance on Bromfield Road.

"text": "Epstein Barr Virus I: EBV Rides Again? March 4, 2012Epstein-Barr Virus (or EBV) was the first major disappointment for CFS researchers. Several studies in late eighties suggested EBV might be the cause of CFS but subsequent studies revealed EBV activation to be no higher in CFS than controls. In recent years, however, like Lazarus rising from the grave, EBV’s role in CFS has been given new life by several research groups that have continued to examined this intriguing virus in greater detail. Historical Background EBV has a long history in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The finding of increased antibody levels to EBV in 1985 suggested that a chronic EBV infection caused ME/CFS. Five studies between 1985 and 1988 indicating ME/ CFS patients had increased levels of antibodies to EBV lead to the disease for a time being ca lled Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (and the CFIDS Association of America being called the Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus Association). Further studies, however, found that healthy people often had similar antibody levels and later studies found no evidence of unusual EBV reactivation in ME/ CFS. The inability of researchers to find EBV DNA in the throat washings of CFS patients – a common finding in immunosuppressed subjects – suggested ME/ CFS patients were not subject to high levels of EBV reactivation. Importantly no studies were able to link antibody levels or viral load to symptom severity in the disease and interest in EBV as a causative agent waned."

But if there is one knock the company gets in deluxe travel circles, it is for being “too cookie cutter. ”Ritz-Carlton Reserve could change all that. The concept for the Reserve brand is signature, one-of-a-kind boutique resorts around the world, each with a distinctive personality and sense of place. As the company explains it, “The Reserve is for travelers seeking to discover a singular location and peerless resort that, through its design and services, has a distinctive personality that blends together the culture, history and heritage of its setting. The Reserve brand extension will be distinguished from other award-winning resorts by offering guests’ exotic, hand-selected ‘hideaway’ destinations globally; a relaxed, casually elegant atmosphere; and an even greater level of individualized service through a higher staff to guest ratio. ”The first Reserve was opened in Phulay Bay, Thailand. The second was closer to home and is less than two months old: it opened in Puerto Rico on 12/12/12."

The film stars Jack Nicholson as tormented writer Jack Torrance, Shelley Duvall as his wife, Wendy, and Danny Lloyd as their son, Danny. The film tells the story of a writer, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), who accepts the job of the winter caretaker at a hotel which always gets snowed in during the winter. While his family looks around the hotel during closing day, the psychic hotel chef discovers the psychic abilities of Jack's son Danny, and Danny's ability to detect ghostly presences in the hotel. In the chef's family, this ability is called \"\"shining\"\". When the hotel becomes snowbound, Jack Torrance is driven mad by the ghosts in the hotel, and he tries to murder his wife and son. Initial response to the film was mixed, and it performed moderately at the box office. Subsequent critical assessment of the film has been more favorable, and it is now viewed as a classic of the horror genre. The entire film was shot on soundstages at EMI Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, England. The set for the Overlook Hotel was then the largest ever built."

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

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Balancing selection refers to a number of selective processes by which multiple alleles (different versions of a gene) are actively maintained in the gene pool of a population at frequencies larger than expected from genetic drift alone. This can happen by various mechanisms, in particular, when the heterozygotes for the alleles under consideration have a higher fitness than the homozygote. [ 1] In this way genetic polymorphism is conserved. [ 2]Evidence for balancing selection can be found in the number of alleles in a population which are maintained above mutation rate frequencies. All modern research has shown that this significant genetic variation is ubiquitous in panmictic populations. There are several mechanisms (which are not exclusive within any given population) by which balancing selection works to maintain polymorphism. The two major and most studied are heterozygote advantage and frequency-dependent selection.

"text": "\"Biogeography and Ecology of Sickle Cell Anemia A. The Unique Geographic Distribution Pattern of Sickle-Cell Anemia Almost as soon as sickle cell anemia was recognized as a blood-based disease, its higher frequency in families of African descent was noted. However, the first reports of cases in Africa itself did not come until the 1920s. In 1925 a 10-year old Arab boy was admitted to a hospital in Omdurman in the Sudan (on the Upper Nile, East central Africa, near Ethiopia) with severe weakness; later he was ascertained to have sickle cell disease (anemia). In 1944 R. Winston Evans, a pathologist at the West African Military Hospital, studied the blood of 600 men from Gambia, the Gold Coast, Nigeria and the Cameroons (all in western Africa on the Gulf of Guinea). He found about 20% of the population affected by the sickle-cell condition (disease + trait). However, a striking observation became apparent: while the frequency of sickle-cell trait in Africa was three times that in the United States, sickle cell disease was much less common. Even as late as the 1950s it was still unclear why this discrepancy existed. Three hypotheses existed at the time: (a) Adult Africans are healthier than those living in urban America and thus do not show the effects of the disease as readily; (b) Infant mortality, especially for Hb S Hb S children, is much higher in Africa than in the U. S., so that homozygous recessive children never reach adulthood (c) By chance fewer homozygous recessive individuals are conceived in Africa than in the United States. In-Text Question 6: Which of these options do you think might explain the discrepancy? Tutorial Answer 6In certain parts of Africa today, the frequency of the mutant gene for sickle-cell (Hb S) is very high (5-20%) as shown in the distribution map below: How can we account for this very high frequency of a gene for a condition that can leave up to 25% of the population severely debilitated (with sickle cell disease)?"

In order to understand what an allele is, you must be able to first distinguish between a character and a trait. I am going to assume that you already know what a gene is: Anyway, a gene is a segment of our DNA that codes for a character. A character is any feature of your human self that could have multiple forms. For instance, your hair color is a character. It is a feature, however, it can take multiple forms: brown, black, blond, you get it; these are traits, traits are controlled by alleles. So, what does this mean? Alleles code for various forms of a gene. A gene exists in the form of alleles- it's various forms. Though the concepts of genes and alleles sound as simple as it is being taught in schools, one must understand that traits aren't mostly distinct."

[ 1]Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding, or breeding of related individuals. Population biological fitness refers to an organism's ability to survive and perpetuate its genetic material. Inbreeding depression is often the result of a population bottleneck. In general, the higher the genetic variation or gene pool within a breeding population, the less likely it is to suffer from inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression seems to be present in most groups of organisms, but varies across mating systems. Hermaphroditic species often exhibit lower degrees of inbreeding depression than outcrossing species, as repeated generations of selfing is thought to purge deleterious alleles from populations. For example, the outcrossing nematode (roundworm) Caenorhabditis remanei has been demonstrated to suffer severely from inbreeding depression, unlike its hermaphroditic relative C. elegans, which experiences outbreeding depression.

If only one person in the family is affected, the condition is not inherited. Or conversely, if several people in the family have a certain condition, it must be genetic. Mendelian Inheritance Traditional Mendelian inheritance refers to the common patterns of inheritance of traits controlled by a single locus (single gene defects) which you learn about in introductory genetics. The general categories are: 1. Autosomal dominant (AD) also codominant and additive dominant 2. Autosomal recessive (AR) 3. X linked dominant (XD) 4. X linked recessive (XR) 5. Y linked or holandric (Y) (3, 4, and 5 are called sex linked traits)The terms dominant and recessive refer to the pattern of inheritance of a disorder but reveal something about the gene function."

Outlined below are a few of the basic methods used for this purpose.2. Making double mutants In the simplest case, two mutations ( a and b) are unlinked, viable, and associated with an easily discernable plate phenotype. In this situation, it is a straightforward matter to cross one of the two strains to N2 males (or to generate a homozygous male stock from one of the mutant strains), and then cross the resultant heterozygous males to the second mutation to generate the a/+; b/+ trans-heterozygote."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Hematology Hemoglobin C Disease Updated: Jan 19, 2017Author: Bryan A Mitton, MD, Ph D; Chief Editor: Emmanuel C Besa, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Hemoglobin C (Hb C) is one of the most common structural hemoglobin variants in the human population. Persons with hemoglobin C trait (Hb AC) are phenotypically normal, with no clinically evident limitations or symptoms, while those with hemoglobin C disease (Hb CC) may have a mild degree of hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, and borderline anemia. Although the clinical complications of hemoglobin C disease are not severe, inheritance with other hemoglobinopathies such as hemoglobin S may have significant consequences, and genetic counseling and anticipatory guidance play an important role in providing care for these individuals. Pathophysiology Hemoglobin C (Hb C) is a structural variant of normal hemoglobin A (Hb A) caused by an amino acid substitution of lysine for glutamic acid at position six of the beta hemoglobin chain. Hb C is less soluble than Hb A in red cells, likely from electrostatic interactions between positively charged β6-lysyl groups and negatively charged groups on adjacent molecules. Crystal formation may result, leading to increased blood viscosity and cellular rigidity, and shortened red cell survival. Unlike sickle cell disease, Hb C does not cause linear intracellular polymerization upon encountering intravascular areas of low oxygen tension [ 1]. Thus, while there is evidence for reduced red cell deformability associated with the Hb C variant (see below), vaso-occlusion does not occur. Both the heterozygous and homozygous states may induce red cell dehydration (xerocytosis), and an elevated mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) may be noted on a complete blood count. A number of studies suggest that Hb C protects against malaria, providing a selective evolutionary advantage to people who express this hemoglobin variant in regions where this disease is endemic. A large case-control study in Burkina Faso found a strong association between resistance to clinical malaria and presence of the Hb C variant in both the heterozygous and the homozygous state. ["

A dominant gene is one that is expressed in preference to the other (e.g dark hair is expressed in preference to light hair) while a recessive gene is one that will not be expressed in the phenotype unless the individual is homozygous for this gene (e.g blonde hair). thus homozygous dominant means that the individual has two copies of the dominant gene heterosygous means that they have one copy of each gene (and will express the dominant gene) and homozygous recessive means that they have two copies of the same recessive gene which will be expressed hope that helps!anya · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Homozygous dominant means that the trait is homo (same) and stronger than a recessive so it will always show. Example: Brown (T) is dominant. So if a person has TT they would be homozygous dominant for Brown eyes."

"text": "\"Homozygous and heterozygous Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism. Most eukaryotes have two matching sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. Diploid organisms have the same loci on each of their two sets of homologous chromosomes except that the sequences at these loci may differ between the two chromosomes in a matching pair and that a few chromosomes may be mismatched as part of a chromosomal sex-determination system. If both alleles of a diploid organism are the same, the organism is homozygous at that locus. If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus. If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and, if both alleles are missing, it is nullizygous. The DNA sequence of a gene often varies from one individual to another. Those variations are called alleles. While some genes have only one allele because there is low variation, others have only one allele because deviation from that allele can be harmful or fatal. But most genes have two or more alleles."

If your two copies are slightly different than each other, congratulations, you're heterozygous! Learn how heterozygosity occurs, and why it can be a good thing to be slightly mismatched. Genes Genes often come in different versions, which are called alleles. For example, a gene that makes the brown pigment in your eyes might come in a regular (brown) version and a mutant (blue) version. Because you have two copies of your DNA (one from Mom and one from Dad), you might end up with two different alleles of the same gene. In that case, we would say you are heterozygous. The opposite of that is homozygous, two identical alleles. Example Let's take dogs as an example: friendly Labrador retrievers."

All species of perennial hibiscus grow well from fresh seed, which can be sown in autumn or late winter within U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 to 10. The seeds sprout in approximately one month and the resulting seedlings will bloom during their first year in the garden. However, the seeds must be lightly scarified and soaked to ensure the most reliable germination.1Gather perennial hibiscus seeds in autumn when the papery seed husks dry out and begin to split open. Sow the seeds immediately, or store them in a cool, dry place until twelve weeks before the last spring frost.2Fill 2-inch starter pots with sterilized, sifted compost, leaving the top one-half inch empty. Pour water into each starter pot to settle the compost. Gently press the compost to force out the excess water.3Scarify the side of each perennial hibiscus seed. Gently rub a nail file against the seed until the hull thins slightly or create a shallow nick in the hull with a utility knife.4Soak the perennial hibiscus seeds in a bowl of water for approximately one hour before sowing. Make the water hot but not boiling. Let the water cool naturally while the seeds soak.5Sow one perennial hibiscus seed in each pot."

During ancient times, water-loving Egyptian papyrus plants grew along the Nile River, where the Egyptians gathered the stalks of the plants to make papyrus paper. If left to grow, the green stalks will produce cream-colored blooms in the fall. If you live within USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11, Egyptian papyrus will create an interesting focal point in your water garden. Step 1Sow Egyptian papyrus seeds in 4-inch pots filled with moist potting soil. Bury the seeds ¼ inch deep in the soil, and place the pots in a sunny location. Maintain a temperature of 75 degrees F or above during the germination process. Germination should take place within a month. Step 2Maintain moist soil conditions, bright sunlight and the required temperature during the growth of the Egyptian papyrus plants.

They add their rich greenery and colorful, sweet-scented flowers to the beauty of this tropical paradise. Before European settlement, much of the islands were covered in forest. When the early plantations were established, a large percentage of the original forest was cut down. It was displaced by sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Later, as plantations disappeared, the forests began to recover. In recent years, as people have adopted a less rural lifestyle, with less reliance on forests for firewood and building materials, the forests have recovered even more. Also, in recent decades many of the native and introduced plants of the Virgin Islands have spread again. They've had a chance to take hold and grow over areas that had been under cultivation for centuries. The amazing variety of plants of the Virgin Islands is largely due to the variety of climate zones and habitats that you see."

Stem cuttings of many favorite shrubs are quite easy to root. Typically, stem cuttings of tree species are more difficult to root. However, cuttings from trees such as crape myrtles, some elms, and birches can be rooted. A greenhouse is not necessary for successful propagation by stem cuttings; however, maintaining high humidity around the cutting is critical. If rooting only a few cuttings, you can use a flower pot ( Figure 1 ). Maintain high humidity by covering the pot with a bottomless milk jug or by placing the pot into a clear plastic bag. Cuttings can also be placed in plastic trays covered with clear plastic stretched over a wire frame ( Figure 2 ). Trays must have holes in the bottoms for drainage. The plastic will help keep the humidity high and reduce water loss from the cuttings."

When plants endure stress, which can be from pests, diseases or the environment, they react in different ways. Hibiscus plants (Hibiscus spp.) may give telltale signs of their discomfort with leaves that turn yellow and drop from the plants. Sometimes the source of their stress is hard at work, munching on plants, and other times the culprit may be lurking underground, attacking root systems. Improper water and fertilizer also cause leaves to turn yellow. Species Of the more than 200 hibiscus species, plants are broadly categorized into tropical and hardy varieties.

S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and in warmer areas in zone 9. Frosts kill this plant, so if your area experiences an occasional frost, grow this plant in a pot and take it indoors during cool or cold weather. Temperate hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) can grow outdoors in USDA zones 5 to 10. In USDA climate zones 9, 10 and above, temperate hibiscus may be shrub- or tree-like, but in cooler climate zones hibiscus dies to the ground every winter and returns in spring. It is especially true that a hibiscus that has been trained to grow into a braided shape must be kept in conditions that will allow the plant to overwinter, or you may lose the braid in a winter frost. Location If possible, pick a spot in your garden where your hibiscus will be exposed to full sun. While hibiscus can tolerate light shade, it will grow best and most vigorously with six hours of sun or more per day. If you take your hibiscus indoors, find a room where it will get or more hours of daylight per day. Watering Often hibiscus will tolerate dry weather and periods of drought without dying, but blooming and growth depend on enough water.

Hardy Hibiscus Care The primary difference between a tropical hibiscus ( Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and a hardy hibiscus ( Hibiscus spp.) is where these plants are able to survive. Tropical hibiscus grows permanently in the landscape only in the warmer U. S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 9 through 11, unless they are taken indoors in winter. Outdoors, one freeze – below 25 degrees Fahrenheit – will kill them. By contrast, the hardy hibiscus is suitable for USDA zones 5 through 8, depending on the species. Despite belonging to the same genus, other differences between these hibiscus varieties exist, such as plant types, blooms, leaves and care needs. Plant Types Tropical hibiscus is evergreen, meaning that it keeps its leaves year-round. On the other hand, hardy hibiscus is deciduous; it's leaves die and drop off the plant in winter. A hardy hibiscus may grow up to 15 feet tall and from 4 to 8 feet wide."

Outdoors it bloomed nearly every day. Before frost, I brought it inside, and now nearly every leaf has fallen. The wood is bendable, however, and seems to be alive. How can I revive the plant? A--Hibiscus needs tropical warmth and an abundance of strong sunlight to grow and bloom indoors. During a season when these conditions cannot be provided, it is best to keep the growing medium on the dry side and withhold fertilizer. If possible, put your hibiscus where it receives direct sun at least half the day, such as in a window facing south. When light temperatures stay above 60 degrees, rising to 70 or more by day, more water can be applied."

Given the right care, rose of Sharon can grow up to 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 9.,Light and Water Rose of Sharon thrives in full sun but will also grow in partial shade. If you live in a very warm climate, the plant prefers some afternoon shade. It will tolerate some drought, but it flowers best with regular watering. Give your plant a deep soaking about once a week during the growing season and more if you have an extremely hot spell in summer. Feeding If your rose of Sharon grows in soil that is not particularly fertile with lots of organic material, the plant will benefit from regular fertilizing. Provide an application in late winter or early spring with a slow-release, granular fertilizer or about once a month during the growing season with an all-purpose, balanced fertilizer. Overfeeding can lead to the shrub growing too rapidly with stems and leaves at the expense of flowers. Pruning Because rose of Sharon grows slowly and blooms on new stems, it doesn't require much pruning unless you want to control its size, change its shape or remove damaged branches.

"text": "How to Use Neem Oil in Your Garden By: Julie Day When I read about organic gardening, I see a lot of references to neem oil. What is it, and how do I use it in my garden? -Sherry Neem oil is made from the seeds of the neem tree ( Azadirachta indica ), which is native to India. Since ancient times, the neem tree has been prized as a sacred remedy and important ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine. In the garden, neem oil boasts a powerful insecticidal ingredient, azadirachtin, which makes it a great organic choice for controlling a variety of problems. Uses for Neem Oil Neem oil can be used to treat a number of garden ailments, including: Insects: Neem oil kills or repels many harmful insects and mites, including aphids, whiteflies, snails, nematodes, mealybugs, cabbage worms, gnats, moths, cockroaches, flies, termites, mosquitoes, and scale. It kills some bugs outright, attacks the larvae of others, and repels plant munchers with its bitter taste. Fungus: Neem oil is also effective in preventing fungal diseases such as black spot, anthracnose, rust, and mildew. Disease: As if that wasn’t enough, neem oil also battles viruses that can harm plants. Advantages of Neem Oil Neem oil is a popular choice in organic gardens because it is: Nontoxic: As long as it isn’t sprayed directly on them, neem oil is nontoxic to beneficial garden insects such as predatory wasps, honeybees, earthworms, ants, spiders, ladybugs, and adult butterflies."

The process of making microchips Share Flipboard Email Print Steven Weinberg/ Stone/ Getty Imagesby Mary Bellis Updated October 16, 2017A microchip, smaller than your fingernail, contains computer circuitry called an integrated circuit. The invention of the integrated circuit stands historically as one of the most important innovations of mankind. Almost all modern products use chip technology. The pioneers known for inventing microchip technology are Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. In 1959, Kilby of Texas Instruments received a U. S. patent for miniaturized electronic circuits, and Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation received a patent for a silicon-based integrated circuit. What Is a Microchip? A microchip is manufactured from a semiconducting material such as silicon or germanium. Microchips are usually used for the logic component of a computer, known as the microprocessor, or for the computer memory, also known as RAM chips. The microchip can contain a set of interconnected electronic components such as transistors, resistors and capacitors that are etched or imprinted on a tiny, wafer-thin chip."

Under the new rules all dogs aged eight weeks or more must be microchipped. Don't let your pet get lost The RSPCA claims that thousands of pets are lost each year – many never reunited with their owners – because they do not have microchips. Collars and tags can be easily removed, they say, but microchips are much more difficult. Any owner in England and Wales whose dog is found to be without a microchip faces a £500 fine unless they fit one within 21 days. Despite this, hundreds of thousands of pet owners are estimated to have failed to do so, according to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). That means as many as one in eight still need to microchip their animals or risk being fined by their local authority.

When a stray ferret is found it is likely to be scanned by the rescue organisation or vet that it is handed to. If there is a microchip found then the ferret can be reunited with you very quickly indeed, minimising stress for the ferret and you!Microchip numbers cannot be altered meaning that should there be any question regarding ownership then you have a simple method of proving this. In addition should you wish to travel abroad your pet requires a pet passport, and microchipping is a required element of qualifying for this document. Microchipping is a way of permanently identifying your ferret. A small capsule approximately the size of a grain of rice, is implanted using a needle just under the ferret's skin, in between their shoulder blades. Each microchip has a unique (normally 15 digit) number that identifies your ferret. This number is recorded against your address and contact details on one of the microchip databases and stays with the animal for life. There are now two sizes of chip available for ferrets. The standard ST02 (12mm x 2.12mm) and ST04 mini chip (8.5mm x 1.4mm)."

"text": "\"Design Pics/Misty Bedwell / Getty Images Cats absolutely need a form of identification, even if they are indoor-only cats. Indoor cats do escape at times, and unlike human children, cats are unable to vocalize their names and addresses. It is particularly important to microchip cats vaccinated for FIV. If picked up by Animal Control and tested, they could show a false positive for FIV, and subsequently be euthanized, lacking identification with the microchip scan. After weighing all the options, my conclusion is that microchips are the best form of identification for cats. I'm not alone in that opinion either; laws requiring microchip for pets have been instituted by the European Pets Travel Scheme (PETS), as well as state and local laws in the U. S. The Companion Animals Act in Australia requires the microchipping of all cats and dogs acquired since July 1, 1999. How Does a Microchip Work? The microchip is a \"\"living tissue friendly\"\" glass bead about the size of a grain of rice. It is embedded with a unique number which will be registered with the owner's address and contact information in a database. Inserting a microchip is very similar to giving an injection."

The L. A. Animal Services adoption fee includes the spay/neuter surgery, all vaccines, first year license fee and a microchip all at a highly discounted rate. This is typical of most rescue groups, and some groups also include one free vet check up, food, a bath and a collar/leash. Pet store dogs are a product of the inhumane puppy mill industry and greatly contribute to the overpopulation problem. They cost significantly more and, along with dogs from backyard breeders, they are notorious for their health and temperament problems from poor breeding. Even a “free” puppy from a neighbor will eventually cost hundreds of dollars to get neutered and vaccinated. The truly responsible breeders that produce healthy dogs typically charge $1,000 - $2,500 per puppy."

A: It won’t hurt any more than a routine vaccination – having a microchip implanted doesn’t even require anesthetic. The procedure is performed at your veterinarian’s office and is simple and similar to administering a vaccine or a routine shot. The microchip comes preloaded in a sterile applicator and is injected under the loose skin between the shoulder blades. The process takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than he would to a vaccination. Q: Will a microchip tell me my pet’s location? A: Pet microchips are not tracking devices and do not work like global positioning devices (GPS). They are radio-frequency identification (RFID) implants that provide permanent ID for your pet."

Unfortunately, 1 in 3 dogs get lost during their lifetimes, and according to the American Humane Society, only 17% of them are ever recovered. How can you beat the odds of this happening to your pet? Number one priority: Have your pet wear an ID tag with a phone number where you can be contacted. Unfortunately, many people forget to check their dog’s tags on a regular basis–they often rust, get scratched, or even come totally off, leaving no way for anyone who finds the dog to find you. More and more pet owners are opting to up their chances of recovering a lost pet by having their veterinarian implant an identifying microchip. Exactly what is a microchip? A microchip is a tiny computer chip–about the size of a grain of rice–that your vet can implant between your pet’s shoulder blades. Each microchip has a unique number, which is entered in an international database. Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters and humane societies have microchip readers, scanners that can quickly be run over the dog’s shoulder blades, allowing the scanner to read your dog’s individual microchip number."

Chip implants linked to animal tumors2007-09-09, Washington Post/ Associated Presshttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/09/AR20070909004... When the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found \"\"reasonable assurance\"\" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top \"\"innovative technologies.\"\" But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had \"\"induced\"\" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats. \"\""

"text": "\"Toaster Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background A toaster is a small appliance that uses heat to brown and harden bread. History The practice of browning bread is an ancient one. Early civilizations placed bread over an open fire in order to keep the bread from growing mold. The Romans brought the idea back from Egypt in 500 B. C. and then took it to Great Britain when they invaded in A. D. 44. In the eighteenth century, a hinged fork was used to hold the bread and prevent it from falling into the fire. With the appearance of wood and coal stoves in the 1880s, a new toasting method was needed. This led to a tin and wire pyramid-shaped device. The bread was placed inside and the device was heated on the stove. Fire was the source of heat for toasting bread until 1905 when Albert Marsh, an engineer, created an alloy of nickel and chromium, called Nichrome. Marsh's invention was easily shaped into wires or strips and was low in electrical conductivity."

This is a contagious disease which spreads easily from person to person either by mere contact or by using the infected person’s combs, brushes, towels and clothes. Small bumps which are raised like a dome appear on the face, hands, armpits, inner thighs, genitals, neck and hands. Adults can contract this disease through sexual contact. These bumps are smooth to the touch and have a waxy feel. Mostly they are painless but some bumps are very itchy. The infection is manifested only after several weeks have passed and sometimes it does not appear for many months. This disease is more common in children who live in tropical climates. The virus flourishes in a warm and moist environment. People who have weakened immune systems are more prone to this disease."

"text": "How can I prevent and treat warts? Apr 23, 2010Interviews by Lauren Mc Nitt | Delicious Living EMAILTweet Comments 1Holistic dermatologist Human papillomavirus is one of the causes of verruca vulgaris—common warts that are spread through surface contact. Molluscum contagiosum is a less common viral infection—caused by skin-on-skin contact with others—that appears on the hands and feet, other exposed areas, and the genital area. Swimmers and people who are immunocompromised are more susceptible to widespread warts on the body. Warts can be harmful in two types of circumstances. People with immune deficiencies may have warts all over the body. Some people also experience chronic warts on the hands and feet that can lead to cancer, but this is very unusual. When molluscum causes the warts, they appear where skin has contacted warts on another person or where a person has been scratching. Warts are usually spread through lacerations or disruptions in the skin; be aware of these areas and avoid contact. You can treat warts at home with salicylic-acid plasters, solutions, and releasing gels."

"text": "Water warts are skin eruptions caused by a virus known as molluscum contagiosum. These warts typically appear as small, fluid-filled blisters that tend to occur in groups. While water warts themselves are usually painless, the surrounding skin may become red and irritated due to scratching or from clothing rubbing against the lesions. The fluid inside the blisters is highly contagious, so it is important to avoid direct contact with others to prevent the spread of the virus. Treatment for these types of warts is not always necessary, although topical medications, cryotherapy, or surgery may sometimes be used in an effort to remove the warts. As a member of the pox family of viruses, water warts are relatively common among children. In most cases, the blisters will disappear on their own within a matter of weeks or months. If there are several warts present, they may not all disappear at the same time. If extreme skin irritation occurs or if the presence of the lesions causes embarrassment or a loss of self-confidence, a doctor may choose to remove the warts instead of allowing them to run their course. Adolescents and adults may become infected with these warts as a result of sexual contact with an infected person."

MARTIN, MD, University of Missouri–Columbia School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri Am Fam Physician. 2015 Aug 1;92 (3):211-216. Author disclosure: No relevant financial affiliations. Because childhood rashes may be difficult to differentiate by appearance alone, it is important to consider the entire clinical presentation to help make the appropriate diagnosis. Considerations include the appearance and location of the rash; the clinical course; and associated symptoms, such as pruritus or fever. A fever is likely to occur with roseola, erythema infectiosum (fifth disease), and scarlet fever. Pruritus sometimes occurs with atopic dermatitis, pityriasis rosea, erythema infectiosum, molluscum contagiosum, and tinea infection. The key feature of roseola is a rash presenting after resolution of a high fever, whereas the distinguishing features in pityriasis rosea are a herald patch and a bilateral and symmetric rash in a Christmas tree pattern. The rash associated with scarlet fever usually develops on the upper trunk, then spreads throughout the body, sparing the palms and soles. Impetigo is a superficial bacterial infection that most commonly affects the face and extremities of children."

Fogoros, MDUpdated February 24, 2018Share Pin Email Print LWA/The Image Bank/Getty Images If you notice a rash or spot on your penis, you may worry that you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or cancer. The truth is that there are a number of different reasons why you may have a rash or lesion on your penis—some worrisome and some not. While it's critical you see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, having some knowledge about the potential causes of this skin change can prepare you well for your visit. Non-Infectious Causes of Penile Skin Rashes or Lesions Sometimes what you think is a sign of a sexually transmitted infection or even cancer, is really just your normal anatomy. For instance, you may have noticed multiple tiny bumps beneath the skin of the scrotum and at the base of the shaft of the penis—these are likely normal hair follicles. In addition, small dome-shaped or jagged bumps around the crown of the head (or glans) of the penis are probably pearly penile papules. They are more common in uncircumcised men. Pearly penile papules (the medical term being angiofibroma) are not infectious and require no treatment. Likewise, small red or blue spots may be angiokeratomas."

How to Get Rid of a Skin Lesion Caused by a poxvirus and spread via skin-to-skin contact or by touching something an infected person has touched, molluscum contagiosum is marked by the development of white-to-red bumps (papules) on the skin. The papules can be large or small and appear on any part of the body, but they rarely cause pain or other symptoms. Molluscum contagiosum will usually resolve on its own, but it also responds well to medications or minor surgery. When to Treat Because molluscum contagiosum most often occurs in children, parents must decide whether to seek treatment. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends treatment even though the molluscum contagiosum bumps will not leave scars when they fade because treatment prevents further reinfection of a child and the spreading of infection to other people. Without treatment, molluscum contagiosum can persist for years. Another considerations to take is whether a child is scratching constantly and deeply at the papules, as this can leave scars. Further, parents should assess the size, location and appearance of the papules."

Molluscum infection causes small white, pink, or flesh-colored bumps or growths with a dimple or pit in the center. The bumps are usually smooth and firm and can appear anywhere on the body. They may become sore, red, and swollen but are usually painless. The bumps normally disappear within six months to twelve months without treatment and without leaving scars. In people with weakened immune systems, molluscum growths may grow very large, spread more easily to other parts of the body and may be harder to cure. How do people get molluscum contagiosum?

"text": "HIV Rash What is HIV? HIV or Human immunodeficiency Virus is the virus causing the much dreaded disease called AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) which is a syndrome that compromises the ability of the human body to fight against diseases. On entering the human body, the virus starts attacking the policemen of our body, the lymphocytes, particularly T helper cells (CD4 cells). When these fighter cells are killed by the virus and their number decreases below a critical number (<200), it manifests as full blown AIDS – Acquired immune deficiency syndrome – a disease state with highly compromised immune system. Early HIV rash Rash is the most common and important symptom of acute HIV infection. [ 1] After getting exposed to the virus, around 85% of the people get flu like illness in the first 2 – 6weeks. As the symptoms resemble the common cold, it is important to know about the rash and other symptoms of early HIV infection to find it in the budding stage and differentiate it from the numerous other diseases which present with a rash. This acute HIV infection goes into hibernation after 4 – 5 weeks and the person remains symptomless for nearly 9 – 10 years. If the HIV infection is not diagnosed in the initial few weeks, the chances are more that it will be diagnosed only when it becomes full-blown AIDS. One has to keep in mind that, rash is a symptom nearly as common as fever and should not jump into conclusion based on rash, that they have got HIV until they get tested positive."

Homelessness in Hawaii is a growing epidemic, and these statistics are heartbreaking: Statewide, 12-15,000 people are homeless at some point of the year. At least 6,300 are homeless at any given day. Islandwide,33% of those living without housing are children.33% of the homeless are of Native Hawaiian ethnicity.8% of those homeless are veterans. Hawaii County had the highest proportion of first-time homeless clients at 51%. The number of homeless has increased 68% since 2013, from 557 to 1,394. In Fiscal Year 2016, HOPE Services Hawaii provided: Outreach services to 2,364 individuals who were living in unsheltered situations.58% were single persons and 42% were individuals in families.33% were children under the age of 18.790 individuals received emergency shelter.1,094 individuals were provided permanent housing. Including 386 family households with children.154 Veterans were housed.256 individuals were subsidized move in costs and shallow subsidies."

This is a very slight decline and a much higher rate of decline is needed if the goal of the elimination of TB in the United States is to be reached in the foreseeable future. This was a decrease in incidence from 3.0 per 100,000 to 2.0 per 100,000. The incidence in 2016 ranged from 0.2 cases per 100,000 in Wyoming to 8.3 in Hawaii. Alaska, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, and Texas, as well as Washington DC, all reported incidences that exceeded the overall national incidence. Four states, California (2,130), Texas (1,333), New York (763) and Florida (602) accounted for 50.9% of all cases. 1 Among the individuals for whom the information was available, 5.7% were HIV infected, 4.6% had been homeless at some point in the previous year, 1.8% resided in a long term care facility and 3.5% were confined to a correctional facility. Country of birth Among the 9,287 cases of TB reported in 2016, 2,935 (31.6%) occurred among U. S. born people, and 6,307 (66.2%) TB cases were among foreign born people. So foreign born people in the United States continue to be disproportionately affected. The top five countries of origin of foreign born people with TB were Mexico, the Philippines, India, Vietnam and China."

The last time a global survey was attempted – by the United Nations in 2005 – an estimated 100 million people were homeless worldwide. As many as 1.6 billion people lacked adequate housing ( Habitat, 2015 ). Getting an accurate picture of global homelessness is extremely challenging. Definitions of homelessness vary from country to country. Census data is typically collected based on household and, while most census data takes into account those living in shelters and receiving government aid, census takers struggle to count the “hidden homeless” – those who may be residing in inadequate settlements such as slums, squatting in structures not intended for housing, couch surfing with friends and family, and those who relocate frequently. AFRICABURKINA FASOBesides poverty and food crisis, additional causes of homelessness are heavy rains and floods affecting thousands of people every year. In 2007, 40,000 people were displaced and 26,800 houses were destroyed due to the floods ( IRIN News, 2008). CAMEROONThe number of homeless people is believed to be rising, and floods and natural disasters only exacerbate the problem. In 2012, the floods left 25,000 people homeless ( reliefweb, 2012)."

"text": "Education of Homeless Children and Youth Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, September 2009BACKGROUNDFamilies with children are by most accounts among the fastest growing segments of the homeless population. In the United States an estimated 1.35 million from 600 thousand families will experience homelessness today, while 3.8 million more will live in “precarious housing situations.” [ 1] Put another way, of every 200 children in America, 3 will be homeless today and more than double that number will be at risk for homelessness. [ 2]Homelessness has a devastating impact on children and youths’ educational opportunities. Residency requirements, guardianship requirements, delays in transfer of school records, lack of transportation, and lack of immunization records often prevent homeless children from enrolling in school. Homeless children and youth who are able to enroll in school still face barriers to regular attendance: while 87% of homeless youth are enrolled in school, only 77% attend school regularly. [ 3]According to recent federal data, during the 2007-2008 school year 794,617 homeless children and youth were enrolled in public schools. This number, however, is an underestimate, as not all school districts report data to the U. S. Department of Education, and because the data collected represents only those children identified and enrolled in school. Furthermore, the number does not include all preschool-age children, or any infants and toddlers. Living arrangements for homeless children can be highly improvisational."

"text": "\"ACLU Challenges Cleveland’s Anti-Panhandling Laws March 1, 2017BRIAN GROSHCLEVELAND (CN) – A disabled veteran and a nonprofit advocacy group for the homeless backed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio claim Cleveland’s anti-panhandling ordinances violate First Amendment rights. In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Cleveland federal court, John Mancini and the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, or NEOCH, say two Cleveland ordinances that criminalize panhandling are unconstitutional, content-based restrictions on free speech. “Cleveland is aggressively charging poor, and homeless, residents with a crime if it catches them asking for help,” ACLU attorneys say in a memorandum accompanying the complaint. “ These ordinances were expressly crafted to drive a disliked form of speech (panhandling) and speaker (homeless or very poor individuals) from public view.” ( Parentheses in original. ) Mancini and NEOCH seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction enjoining the city of Cleveland from enforcing its anti-panhandling ordinances. The lawsuit names as defendants the city, Mayor Frank Jackson and Chief of Police Calvin Williams. The lawsuit claims the Cleveland Police Department has issued over 5,800 tickets for violations of the anti-panhandling ordinances between 2007 and 2015. These laws allegedly target the homeless and destitute who generally cannot afford to pay the associated fines, so they often end up being jailed. Mancini is a disabled veteran who says he typically sits quietly on a sidewalk or stands alongside a roadway holding a cardboard sign that reads, “wartime vet; can you please help a vet trying to get by; your help appreciated."

"text": "Sunday Review Op-Ed Contributor The Tent Cities of San Francisco The Tent Cities of San Francisco Adam Mc Cauley By Daniel Duane Dec. 17, 2016SAN FRANCISCO — California may be the new capital of American liberalism, but everybody who likes the sound of that ought to consider the fate of three recent San Francisco ballot initiatives. The first, Proposition Q, aimed to eliminate homeless people’s unsightly tent camps by banning sidewalk tents and empowering the police to confiscate them with 24 hours notice so long as occupants were offered beds in shelters. San Francisco has only 1,203 emergency adult shelter beds, for a homeless population of 6,700, but a second initiative, Proposition J, promised to ease that shortfall by earmarking $50 million a year from a small sales-tax increase, proposed in a third initiative, Proposition K. In an exquisite illustration of California’s core political neurosis — the tension between our attachment to the pretty view and our desire to care for the least among us without personal inconvenience, even as our population and economy explode — we San Franciscans voted yes on Q and J, and no on K. The people spoke, in other words, and we said, “Get rid of those filthy tents and set aside heaps of money to make sure it’s done in a compassionate way so I don’t have to feel guilty, but don’t squeeze me for a dime. ”Similar contradictions were on display this month, after the Ghost Ship warehouse fire in Oakland killed 36 people. We lamented the deaths, but it was easier to criticize the warehouse owner and operator than face the desperation that drove so many to live there. Advertisement San Francisco’s homeless population, it bears mentioning, increased less than 7 percent over the last 10 years. Tent camps are nothing new. According to Jeff Kositsky, the director of San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, what has changed is their visibility. Tech-boom construction has filled empty lots where people “experiencing homelessness” — that’s the preferred term — formerly slept in seclusion. “We also had one individual purchase and give away $15,000 worth of camping tents,” Mr. Kositsky told me. “"

"text": "Homelessness Statistics The following is a list of general statistics taken from the 2015 point-in-time count, conducted by Multnomah County. Although the overall number of homeless people in Multnomah County between 2013 and 2015 did not change — despite the worsening affordable housing crisis — there are still serious concerns. On one particular night, 3,800 people slept on the streets, in shelter, and in temporary housing, and an estimated 12,000 people were doubled up, many in overcrowded and often unsafe conditions. Over the past two years, there has been a 17% decline in chronic homelessness among individual adults; a decrease in unsheltered veterans; and a 27% reduction in the percentage of people experiencing homelessness for two or more years. However, this year’s point-in-time count found a 48% increase in the number of unsheltered African-Americans from two years ago. Due to differences in the definition of “homeless” between HUD and Multnomah County, it is still a work in progress to find more accurate numbers of homelessness among communities of color. Nevertheless, supplemental data indicates that levels of homelessness have increased in these communities, including, Native Americans, Latinos, and Asians. Consider the following data from the 2015 Point-In-Time Count of Homelessness in Portland/Gresham/Multnomah County, Oregon (for details, see the narrative that follows the chart): HUD Homeless Number: 3,8012013-15 % ∆ of HUD homeless: 14% decrease*2013-15 % ∆ of homeless people who are unsheltered: <1% decrease3 fastest growing unsheltered populations: African-American adults; women; people older than 553 fastest growing HUD homeless populations: African-American adults; women; people older than 55Description % #Homeless people who are in shelter 51% 1,914Homeless people who are unsheltered 49% 1,887Families with children who are homeless 17% 653Single adults who are homeless 83% 3,143Adult women who are homeless 30% 1,161Adult men who are homeless 58% 2,208Youth younger than 24 who are homeless 6% 266**Homeless people who are older than 55 19% 704Homeless people who are chronically homeless 28% 1,033Homeless people who are disabled 57% 2,177People of color who are homeless 39% 1,477Veterans who are homeless 11% 422Those who were homeless for less than 6 months 33% -Those who were homeless for more than 2 years 27% -*Using 2014 definitions, we would have documented a 4% increase. ** Only reflects unaccompanied youth, not young people in families.

About Hunger About Homelessness Make A Difference About Hunger North America is often regarded as the land of plenty, and yet Hunger is still an issue that affects millions of Americans every year. Hunger Facts1 in 8 Americans live on incomes that put them at risk for hunger. More than 13 million American children rely on food banks for assistance. Food insecurity exists in every single county and congressional district in the United States. A report from the U. S. Conference of Mayors found that only 11% of those requesting emergency food assistance were homeless. More than 21 million low-income children qualify for free or reduced-cost school lunches. Most people tend to associate food drives with the holiday season. Food Banks, however, face their greatest need during the summer months, when classes end and children are no longer receiving free or reduced-cost meals at school. That's why we urge everyone to hold a summer food drive to make the most impact in your community."

The massive 8.5-magnitude quake had killed thousands in Chile the previous day. The earthquake, involving a severe plate shift, caused a large displacement of water off the coast of southern Chile at 3:11 p.m. Traveling at speeds in excess of 400 miles per hour, the tsunami moved west and north. On the west coast of the United States, the waves caused an estimated $1 million in damages, but were not deadly. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, established in 1948 in response to another deadly tsunami, worked properly and warnings were issued to Hawaiians six hours before the wave’s expected arrival. Some people ignored the warnings, however, and others actually headed to the coast in order to view the wave. Arriving only a minute after predicted, the tsunami destroyed Hilo Bay on the island of Hawaii. Thirty-five-foot waves bent parking meters to the ground and wiped away most buildings. A 10-ton tractor was swept out to sea. Reports indicate that the 20-ton boulders making up the sea wall were moved 500 feet."

"text": "What is Non-Medical Home Care? Non-medical home care, sometimes just called home care, is for anyone who needs help with routine personal care tasks that they can no longer handle on their own such as bathing, getting dressed, and going to the bathroom. These are basically the same services that you would receive in assisted living, only they are delivered in the comfort of your own home. Non-medical home care gives family members and others who might care for you on a regular basis an opportunity to take breaks. However, just as the name indicates, no medical care is provided with non-medical home care. What is Non-Medical Home Care Like? If a home care agency provides your care, agency staff will work with you and your family to plan and schedule your care. Then one or more home care aides will be assigned to work with you, depending on your needs. You may only need help a few hours a day several days a week, or you may need it most of the day every day. If you need help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then you may need a live-in home care aide."

By The MNT Editorial Team Last updated Tue 5 January 2016What Is Health Insurance? How To Find Private Health Insurance Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that covers the cost of an insured individual's medical and surgical expenses. Depending on the type of health insurance coverage, either the insured pays costs out-of-pocket and is then reimbursed, or the insurer makes payments directly to the provider. In health insurance terminology, the \"\"provider\"\" is a clinic, hospital, doctor, laboratory, health care practitioner, or pharmacy. The \"\"insured\"\" is the owner of the health insurance policy; the person with the health insurance coverage. In countries without universal health care coverage, such as the USA, health insurance is commonly included in employer benefit packages and seen as an employment perk. Is health insurance coverage a human right or another product one can buy? In some countries, such as the United Kingdom or Canada, health care coverage is provided by the state and is seen as every citizen's right - it is classed along with public education, the police, firefighters, street lighting, and public road networks, as a part of a public service for the nation. In other countries, such as the USA, health insurance coverage is seen somewhat differently - with the exception of some groups, such as elderly and/or disabled people, veterans and some others, it is the individual's responsibility to be insured."

This is called giving up (lack of hope) due to the lack of knowledge. Other diabetics believe that they will not face blindness, amputation, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, gum disease, high blood pressure, or some of the other complications of having diabetes. This is called denial. Ironically, both of these scenarios eventually lead to blindness, amputation, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, gum disease, high blood pressure, or some of the other complications of having diabetes.

Medigap policies are supplemental Medicare insurance policies sold by private companies to fill the “gaps” in Medicare plans. There are 10 standardized plans defined by federal law, referred to as Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N. Not all 10 plans are available in every state, nor does each insurance company choose to offer all plans. Discussion Even the most comprehensive Medigap plans do not cover long term care for the elderly. Medigap plans are intended to fill the “gaps” in Medicare insurance. Since most long-term care for seniors is not covered by Medicare, this is a considerable “gap”. However, even the most comprehensive of the Medigap plans does not cover long-term care needs for the elderly. These policies do not pay for assisted living, Alzheimer's, custodial (personal care), or adult day care. At best, they supplement nursing home care on a temporary basis and help with hospice coverage. When a senior is in recovery mode following an accident or procedure, some plans will help in limited capacity with skilled nursing care, but this is short term only."

Denver pays more why? Please do not say cost of living, because Intermountain does not take cost of living into consideration... Read More Mar 20, '11Quote from KNMRN83I am an RN in Salt Lake City at the University of Utah Hospital and when I moved here last year from Portland, Oregon my hourly wage went from about $34/hr to a little over $22/hr. To say I was shocked is an understatement. My opinion on why nurses get paid so little here is that most of the new graduates in this area have no desire to leave Utah and therefore hospitals know they don't need to entice them with a big salary, they know they can pretty much pay them a little as they want and the nurses will still stay here because they grew up here, have families here, etc. My other opinion on why the hourly wages are so low is that is has to do with the culture here and that vocations such as nursing or teaching are primarily viewed as \"\"women's work\"\" therefore they pay less. I'm not stating that I agree with these opinions, I'm just stating opinions I have formed from working here over the past years and talking with co-workers. The wage here has nothing to do with cost of living, living here isn't that cheap. I completely agree and it's troubling to say the least. Mar 26, '11I worked at an Iasis facility and my starting pay as a new grad was about 23 an hour, before the night shift differential (and I naively thought that was decent because I knew IHC was paying much less for a new grad)."

Respite care includes a variety of services such as home-based care, skilled nursing, home health, residential programs and companionship. Many people need help even when they are able to stay at home. Respite care is growing in importance today because more seniors are living longer, remaining healthy longer, and want to remain in their homes. Those that step in to provide ongoing care are respite workers. They can be an incredible benefit to the entire family including seniors who need different levels of care."

By The MNT Editorial Team Last updated Tue 5 January 2016What Is Health Insurance? How To Find Private Health Insurance Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that covers the cost of an insured individual's medical and surgical expenses. Depending on the type of health insurance coverage, either the insured pays costs out-of-pocket and is then reimbursed, or the insurer makes payments directly to the provider. In health insurance terminology, the \"\"provider\"\" is a clinic, hospital, doctor, laboratory, health care practitioner, or pharmacy. The \"\"insured\"\" is the owner of the health insurance policy; the person with the health insurance coverage. In countries without universal health care coverage, such as the USA, health insurance is commonly included in employer benefit packages and seen as an employment perk. Is health insurance coverage a human right or another product one can buy? In some countries, such as the United Kingdom or Canada, health care coverage is provided by the state and is seen as every citizen's right - it is classed along with public education, the police, firefighters, street lighting, and public road networks, as a part of a public service for the nation. In other countries, such as the USA, health insurance coverage is seen somewhat differently - with the exception of some groups, such as elderly and/or disabled people, veterans and some others, it is the individual's responsibility to be insured."

Some offer benefit packages that extend far beyond medical coverage and often include dental, vision, tuition reimbursement, and even childcare costs. While many small businesses also offer terrific perks for part-timers, consider these well-known larger companies with excellent part-time benefits.1. Starbucks Starbucks offers employees who work at least 20 hours a week something called \"\" Your Special Blend ,\"\" which is a unique combination of perks, health benefits, and assistance. Eligibility starts after an employee has worked at least 240 hours over a three-month consecutive period. Specific health benefits are determined based on the employee's location and the proximity to health care professionals. With that said, most part-time employees receive coverage for hospitalization, office visits, lab tests and x-rays, emergency care, prescription drugs, and mental health treatment, including chemical dependency. Along with health benefits, part-time employees are also eligible for dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage. Starbucks' robust package doesn't stop there; they also offer college tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, and short-term counseling for stress related issues.2. Whole Foods After a predetermined probationary period, Whole Food employees, who work 20+ hours a week, are eligible for health benefits."

M, and Samantha King, MADepartment of Human and Community Development, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, for the Illinois Department of Human Services Executive Summary High quality child care improves children's experiences and developmental outcomes and also contributes to a prepared, productive and stable current and future workforce. Practitioners who work in child care settings are responsible for the quality of care and early education provided to children and their families. The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is mandated by legislative rule 20 ILCS 505/5.15, to conduct a survey of the workforce in licensed child care facilities every two years. The entire bill is located on the Illinois General Assembly website: (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp? Act ID=242&Champter ID=5). The survey summarized in this report meets that mandate by documenting the following: (1) the number of qualified caregivers attracted to vacant positions and any problems encountered by facilities in attracting and retaining capable caregivers, (2) the qualifications of new caregivers hired at licensed child care facilities during the previous 2-year period, and (3) the average wages and salaries and fringe benefits paid to caregivers throughout the State computed on a regional basis. Collection of survey data begins with list of 13,522 licensed child care programs in Illinois (3183 licensed child care centers and 10,339 licensed day care homes) obtained through the Illinois Network of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (INCCRRA). On April 15, 2011, all providers were sent a request to participate in the survey. The survey was available in two formats: on-line and as a paper-and-pencil document."

This benefit covers all of the care related to the terminal illness (and related illness) that is determined medically necessary by the hospice physician.

"text": "\"OBITUARYThis is London: The Evening Standard Online Dusty dies on her Royal day By Tim Cooper Dusty Springfield has died from breast cancer on the day she should have collected her OBE from the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The 59-year-old singer died at 10.40 last night at her home in Henley-on-Thames, her agent Paul Fenn said today. She was awarded an OBE in the New Year Honours and her investiture had been due to be held yesterday, with a second major accolade - her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York - scheduled for two weeks today. Despite the reclusive life she led at her Henley mansion, she had been eager to meet the Queen, and also to join the traditional jam session at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with fellow inductees including Bruce Springsteen and Sir Paul Mc Cartney. Born Mary O'Brien in Hampstead in 1939, there is no doubt that Dusty Springfield's place in pop music history had already been assured. One of the top female singers of the Sixties, she had a string of hits on both sides of the Atlantic, of which some of the best known were I Only Want To Be With You, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, and You Don't Have To Say You Love Me. Lulu, who knew Dusty for more than 30 years and was a close friend, said today: \"\"I'm terribly, terribly sad at her loss but also at the same time relieved that she is no longer suffering. \"\" Dusty was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994 and, having thought she had beaten it, learned in the summer of 1996 that it had returned. She spent the next 18 months fighting the disease but a year ago she was too ill to attend the Brit Awards, where she had been due to be a guest of honour. Just before Christmas she moved out of her converted granary in Oxfordshire to seek more seclusion in the larger house in Henley, with more picturesque views."

With her distinctive sensual mezzo-soprano sound, she was an important blue-eyed soul singer and at her peak was one of the most successful British female performers, with six top 20 singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 and sixteen on the UK Singles Chart from 1963 to 1989. [ 2] She is a member of the US Rock and Roll and UK Music Halls of Fame. International polls have named Springfield among the best female rock artists of all time. Her image, supported by a peroxide blonde bouffant hairstyle, evening gowns, and heavy make-up, as well as her flamboyant performances made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties. [ 3]Born in West Hampstead to a family that enjoyed music, Springfield learned to sing at home. In 1958 she joined her first professional group, The Lana Sisters, and two years later formed a pop-folk vocal trio, The Springfields, with her brother Tom Springfield and Tim Field. They became the UK's top selling act. Her solo career began in 1963 with the upbeat pop hit, \"\" I Only Want to Be with You \"\". Among the hits that followed were \"\" Wishin' and Hopin' \"\" (1964), \"\" I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself \"\" (1964), \"\" You Don't Have to Say You Love Me \"\" (1966), and \"\" Son of a Preacher Man \"\" (1968)."

In the summer of 1978, Gerry Rafferty's song “Baker Street” became a top-five hit in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. And for good reason. If there were an official anthem for playing darts alone in an empty roadside bar during a rainstorm, it would be “Baker Street.” And while there’s no data to back it up, “Baker Street” is undoubtedly the top song to idle to in a driveway before cutting the engine to your Dodge Aspen. ( Both of these were popular hobbies in the year 1978. ) The video for “Baker Street” has been viewed over 5 million times. Its most popular comment is this: “This song makes me think of the Summer of 1978. Just graduated high school and was getting ready to head off to college."

[ 4] As of 2014, he had written 73 US and 52 UK Top 40 hits. [ 5] He is considered one of the most important composers of 20th-century popular music. [ 6]His music is characterized by unusual chord progressions, influenced by his background in jazz harmony, and uncommon selections of instruments for small orchestras. Most of Bacharach & David's hits were written specifically for and performed by Dionne Warwick, but earlier associations (from 1957 to 1963) saw the composing duo work with Marty Robbins, Perry Como, Gene Mc Daniels, and Jerry Butler. Following the initial success of these collaborations, Bacharach went on to write hits for Gene Pitney, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Jackie De Shannon, Bobbie Gentry, Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, B. J. Thomas, the Carpenters, among numerous other artists. He arranged, conducted, and produced much of his recorded output. Songs that he co-wrote which have topped the Billboard Hot 100 include \"\" The Look of Love \"\" (1967), \"\" This Guy's in Love with You \"\" (1968), \"\" Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head \"\" (1969), \"\" (They Long to Be) Close to You \"\" (1970), \"\" Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) \"\" (1981), \"\" That's What Friends Are For \"\" (1986) and \"\" On My Own \"\" (1986). A significant figure in easy listening, [2] Bacharach is described by writer William Farina as \"\"a composer whose venerable name can be linked with just about every other prominent musical artist of his era.\"\""

"text": "\"How did the victims of the Plinean Eruption of Vesuvius die? June 27, 2010 Uncategorized Archaeology, volcano Greg Laden Even at the most extreme edges of the flow of stuff out of the volcano Pompeii, at the far edge of the mud and ash that came from the volcano’s explosion, the heat was sufficient to instantly kill everyone, even those inside their homes. And that is how the people at Pompeii, who’s remains were found trapped and partly preserved within ghostly body-shaped tombs within that pyroclastic flow, died. They did not suffocate. They did not get blown apart by force. They did not die of gas poisoning. They simply cooked. Instantly. That is the conclusion of a study just published in PLo S ONE by Giuseppe Mastrolorenzo, Pierpaolo Petrone, Lucia Pappalardo and Fabio Guarino, entitled Lethal Thermal Impact at Periphery of Pyroclastic Surges: Evidences at Pompeii. This research was carried out specifically to address the question of survivability of certain kinds of volcanic eruptions."

"text": "\"David Bowie, Sexuality and Gender: A Rebel Who Changed the Face of Music1/14/2016 by Barry Walters FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL MEAndrew Kent David Bowie in Paris in 1976. When homosexuality was still considered a shameful secret to many, Bowie told the world he was gay, and music -- and the lives of many of his fans and followers -- would never be the same. \"\" I'm gay,\"\" declared David Bowie, \"\"and always have been, even when I was David Jones. \"\" When he uttered these now-immortal words in the Jan. 22, 1972, issue of England's Melody Maker, the fledgling starman had just released December 1971's Hunky Dory and already was giving his interviewer a taste of his glam-rock milestone, June 1972's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. The British Parliament had only decriminalized homosexuality in 1967; post-Stonewall U. S. gay life was not yet 3 years old. More From Billboard's David Bowie Tribute: Bowie Changing Rock'n'Roll | His Many Muses | His Passion for Soul and R&B | 25 Poignant Moments From His Life and Career | His Space Obsession | His Pioneering Use of TV | His Arresting Presence on Film | His Rebellious Style He wasn't the first U. K. pop singer to come out (that was Dusty Springfield in 1970); he did it while newly married to Angie Bowie, months after fathering future film director Duncan Jones. But Bowie led the way in contextualizing pop through LGBT identity. The Hunky Dory song \"\"Queen Bitch\"\" is sung in gay vernacular (\"\"She's so swishy in her satin and tat!\"\") from the perspective of a participant in gay life and set to buzzing guitar chords clearly cribbed from The Velvet Underground, which earlier chronicled this gender-mutable world through its ties to Andy Warhol, who had a Hunky Dory tune written about him too. That same year, Bowie scored a U. K. hit with \"\"John, I'm Only Dancing,\"\" a wham-bam of pansexual knowingness considered too outre for U. S. release until his Changes One Bowie collection in 1976."

Lyrics powered by Lyric Find Add your thoughts8 Comments View by: Highest Rated Most Recent Oldest First+1 General Comment This track was recorded live with the Edmonton Orchestra, and the atmosphere is electric. Yes, the Conquistadors were the Spanish conquerors of the New World in the 1500's... but the image is a powerful metaphor for the anti-war movement (the Vietnam War in this case). Those who promote war see the Conquistador's gleaming armour, sword and shield as the answer to all of society's problems. But those who live long enough to see the real horrors of war, see the rust and tarnish on the dream. They KNOW that war, once again, is NOT the solution to ANY problem. Alas, it seems each generation has to learn this lesson all over again, and history continues to repeat itself...

Following Broadway and television experience, he made a strong film debut in The Strange One (1957). He started getting noticed when he played Robert Mitchum 's illegitimate son in the popular melodrama Home from the Hill (1960). He then established himself as a leading man, giving arguably his most memorable film performance as Audrey Hepburn 's love interest in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). Seen by the studios as a promising young star, Peppard was subsequently cast in some of the major blockbusters of the early/mid-1960s: How the West Was Won (1962), The Victors (1963), The Carpetbaggers (1964) and Operation Crossbow (1965). He reached the peak of his popularity in another such lavish production, The Blue Max (1966), in which he effectively played an obsessively competitive German flying officer during World War I. However, by the late 1960s, he seemed to settle as a tough lead in more average, often hokum, adventures, including House of Cards (1969), Cannon for Cordoba (1970) and The Groundstar Conspiracy (1972). In the early 1970s, his declining popularity was temporarily boosted thanks to the television series Banacek (1972). With his film roles becoming increasingly uninteresting, he acted in, directed and produced the drama Five Days from Home (1978), but the result was rather disappointing. In the mid-1980s, he again obtained success on television as Colonel John \"\"Hannibal\"\" Smith, the cigar-chomping leader of The A-Team (1983). George Peppard died at age 65 of pneumonia on May 8, 1994 in Los Angeles, California."

"text": "\"25 Things You May Not Know About 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'Posted October 5, 2011by Gary Susman Everyone thinks they know 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' the classic, urbane romantic comedy released 50 years ago today, on October 5, 1961. The film that cemented Audrey Hepburn's reputation as an all-time fashion icon, set the bar for every New York fantasy/romantic comedy from 'Barefoot in the Park' to 'Sex and the City,' and gave birth to a thousand Manic Pixie Dream Girls (or at least 25 others). Yet there's a lot you may not know about the movie -- who the real-life Holly Golightly was, how radically different the film might have been if 'Breakfast' author Truman Capote had gotten his way, why the Oscar-winning song 'Moon River' almost got cut from the film, which classic outfits Hepburn herself came up with, how many cartons of cigarettes the tobacco-loving characters smoked on-screen, and what Mickey Rooney has to say about his still-controversial performance. 1. Who was the real-life Holly Golightly? So many women have been named as possible inspirations to Truman Capote -- including Gloria Vanderbilt, Oona Chaplin, writer/actress Carol Grace (who became Walter Matthau's wife), writer Maeve Brennan and model Suzy Parker -- that Capote called the whole speculation \"\"the Holly Golightly sweepstakes.\"\" He claimed there was a real Holly, a woman who lived downstairs from him when he was a writer who'd just moved to New York in the early 1940s (like the autobiographical narrator of Capote's tale), though he never identified her by name. A New Yorker named Bonnie Golightly filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against Capote claiming he'd based the character on her. 2. As George Costanza learned during a memorable 'Seinfeld' episode where he watched the film instead of reading the book for his book club, there are a lot of major differences between Capote's 1958 novella and George Axelrod's screenplay to the 1961 movie."

"text": "Home Biographies How Did George Handel Die? How Did George Handel Die? The exact answer to how George Handel died isn't known, but there are some theories. George Handel's Death George Handel, a famous German composer from the Baroque era, died in 1759 at the age of 74. While his last illness isn’t documented, some people believe it was due to a failed eye operation. Handel had undergone an operation to remove a cataract eight years earlier, which was performed by the famous Chevalier Taylor, whose skills as an eye surgeon were more than questionable. As a result of the surgery, Handel suffered inflammation of the eye and eventual blindness, and some people theorize that the damage to his eye led to an infection which may be the reason George Handel died. There is no real evidence to support this, or to indicate that his death was anything other than old age, or a typical illness. Highlights of George Handel's Life Handel lived from 1685 to 1759, and is best known for his operas and concertos. He was a peer of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, and his work was heavily influenced by the Italian tradition of the time."

First marriage did not last very long and no children were produced. Olivia was the wife who stuck through it all and was with him unto death. During their 30 years together, they had one son, Dhani. Dhani, born in the late 1970s, professionally followed his father into music eventually, though he did not study music in college. He graduated from Ivy League school Brown University with a degree in physics. One could say Dhani's music education has come from two main sources--his father and his father's good buddy and producer, Jeff Lynn of ELO and Traveling Wilburys fame. Together, Jeff and Dhani made George's final album, Brainwashed, a reality as they pieced it together from the demo tapes left from George's final years.

Biography Introduction Audrey Hepburn (4 May 1929 - 20 January 1993) was an iconic Academy Award-winning actress, fashion model and humanitarian. Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston in Brussels, Belgium, she was the only child of John Victor Hepburn-Ruston, an Anglo Irish banker, and Baroness Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch aristocrat descended from French and English kings. Her father later appended the name Hepburn to his surname, and Audrey's surname became Hepburn-Ruston. She had two half-brothers, Alexander and Ian Quarles van Ufford, by her mother's first marriage to a Dutch nobleman. Audrey had the reputation of being a humble, kind and charming person, who lived the philosophy of putting others before herself. She showed this side particularly towards the end of her life in her work for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). New Woman magazine called Audrey the most beautiful woman of all time, in a 2006 poll. She was ranked as the third greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.

"text": "\"STYLE ICON: Audrey Hepburn By Natasha Wood | Published Feb 23 2013A look at one of history’s most beautiful, talented and gracious creatures, style icon Audrey Hepburn …Early life and movie career Audrey Hepburn (May 1929–January 1993) was a dancer, actress, muse, style icon and humanitarian. Born in Belgium, she grew up in Belgium, the Netherlands and England, including going through terrible circumstances during World War II whilst living in German-occupied Arnhem. Moving to England after the war, she studied ballet and became a chorus girl in the West End, later getting small parts in British films, before receiving her big break with the role of “Gigi” in a Broadway theatre production in 1951. This lead to her award-winning role in 1953’s Roman Holiday, co-starring Gregory Peck, for which she is best known, alongside Sabrina (1954) with Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) with George Peppard, and My Fair Lady (1964) with Rex Harrison. Audrey appeared in several movies as well as making TV appearances. Here are some of her more well known films: Roman Holiday (1953)Sabrina (1954)War and Peace (1956)Love in the Afternoon (1957)Funny Face (1957)The Nun’s Story (1959)The Unforgiven (1960)Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)The Children’s Hour (1961)Charade (1963)Paris When It Sizzles (1964)My Fair Lady (1964)How to Steal a Million (1966)Two for the Road (1967)Wait Until Dark (1967)Robin and Marian (1976)Bloodline (1979)Style icon As well as her infectious personality, kindness and talent, she became known as a style icon, largely thanks to her collaboration with Hubert de Givenchy, the famous French couturier, who dressed her in impeccable ladylike looks, both in her personal life and most of her films. She kept to simple, clean lines to ensure she did not overwhelm her elfin look, and bold accessories, and her fashion legacy includes sunglasses, headscarves, ballet shoes and 1950s frocks, especially “The Little Black Dress”, all of which remain popular to this day.

Predictably, Flood wants command of the stage business, too, but Lang resists him, even when threatened with bodily harm. Tough gambler Dolan (George Peppard), a former marshal, rides into town intending to work for Lang as a driver, but when he learns of the tension between Lang and Flood he backs off, not wanting any trouble. However, when Yarbrough is caught by Lang trying to sabotage a coach on her property, the thug savagely beats her, forcing Dolan to get involved. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi Cast Jean Simmons Dean Martin as Alex Flood George Peppard as Dolan Jean Simmons as Molly Lang John Mc Intire as Ben Hickman Slim Pickens as Yarbrough Don Galloway as Jace Brad Weston as Torrey Warren Vanders as Harvey John Napier as Mc Givern Crew Arnold Laven Director Martin Rackin Producer Sydney Boehm Screenwriter Russell Metty Cinematographer Don Costa Composer (Music Score)Joseph E.

By Sonia Smith Date Jan 21, 2013Share Copy URLNotes3 Comments AP Photo | Evan Agostini After seven years of marriage, T. Boone and Madeleine Pickens are going their separate ways. A spokesman confirmed the news to the AP Tuesday and said the couple is parting amicably. Madeleine was the 84-year-old oil tycoon’s fourth wife. Skip Hollandsworth’s September 2008 Texas Monthlycover story on T. Boone offered a peek into the couple’s marriage in happier times. Some tidbits from that story follow below. While Hollandsworth was flying with the couple on their $57 million private jet, Madeleine likened meeting T. Boone in 2005 to meeting her John Wayne. The conversation continued:“We’re having such a good time that we’ve been talking about starting a family,” Boone said, the look on his face completely serious. “Yes, we’re working very hard to have one,” Madeleine added, giving me an equally serious look, her perfectly plucked eyebrows rising slightly. “ We’re trying every night."

"text": "What causes Lactose Intolerance? Causes Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of an enzyme called lactase. Your body needs lactase to break down, or digest, lactose (the sugar found in dairy products). Lactose intolerance generally develops in individuals as they age. People tend to become lactose intolerant around their teenage years, or during adulthood (ages 30 to 40). Generally, lactose intolerance most commonly runs in families and is related to one’s family’s genes. Lactose intolerance can also be brought on by infections, chemotherapy, penicillin reactions, surgery, pregnancy, or from the avoidance of dairy products for a prolonged period of time. Additionally, specific ethnicities are more likely to suffer from lactose intolerance than others. On rare occasions, newborns are lactose-intolerant. Usually newborns outgrow the condition as they get older."

"text": "Page contents [Food allergy and intolerance myth buster] (/Tools/Pages/Food-allergy-myth-buster.aspx)Overview Lactose intolerance is a common digestive problem where the body is unable to digest lactose, a type of sugar mainly found in milk and dairy products. Symptoms of lactose intolerance usually develop within a few hours of consuming food or drink that contains lactose. They may include:flatulence (wind)diarrhoeabloated stomachstomach cramps and painsstomach rumblingfeeling sick The severity of your symptoms and when they appear depends on the amount of lactose you've consumed. Some people may still be able to drink a small glass of milk without triggering any symptoms, while others may not even be able to have milk in their tea or coffee. When to seek medical advice The symptoms of lactose intolerance can be similar to several other conditions, so it's important to see your GP for a diagnosis before removing milk and dairy products from your diet. For example, the symptoms above can also be caused by:irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – a long-term disorder that affects the digestive systemmilk protein intolerance – an adverse reaction to the protein in milk from cows (not the same as a milk allergy)If your GP thinks you have lactose intolerance, they may suggest avoiding foods and drinks containing lactose for two weeks to see if your symptoms improve. Read more about diagnosing lactose intolerance. What causes lactose intolerance? The body digests lactose using a substance called lactase. This breaks down lactose into two sugars called glucose and galactose, which can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream."

If she wants to drink from the sink you may well just have to accept that it is one of her foibles and put up with it.

Both said the exact same thing, the extra fat slows down the digestion allowing what little lactase I do have time to work. So, if I eat something that will slow my digestion down, less problems with milk. I have no issues with normal amounts of cottage cheese, cheese slice on sandwich, small amounts of whole milk. But even 8 ounces of skim milk on an empty stomach and I am miserable for hours.

In general, I’ve come to be pretty skeptical of the nutritional literature, as so many studies seem to follow the same trajectory that we see with drug studies: Trivial changes in non-relevant outcomes, a failure to consider the results in the context of the accumulated scientific evidence and often, significant conflicts of interest. What’s worse, “real world” nutritional studies aren’t blinded and they’re rarely prospective. So we’re left to dig through observational studies and try to sort out correlation from causation. It’s little wonder that so many consumers are confused about the basics of healthy eating. Many believe that vitamins supplements are both beneficial and routinely necessary ( they are not) and that the latest “superfood” is all that’s standing between themselves and immortality. But nutritional science is important, and I’m always pleased when patients initiate discussions about weight loss, or just improving their dietary habits. After all, obesity is a significant risk factor for an array of chronic illnesses. Improving our dietary patterns should pay off with improved health. A regular challenge I face is that my patient that has already decided to use a highly restrictive weight loss plan in order to achieve a specific weight loss goal."

"text": "Osteoporosis and Lactose Intolerance What Is Lactose Intolerance? Lactose intolerance is a common problem. It happens when your body does not have enough lactase, which is an enzyme produced in the small intestine. Lactase is necessary to digest lactose – the natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products. In the intestines, undigested lactose leads to the buildup of gas. Within 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating dairy products containing lactose, people with lactose intolerance start to develop stomach cramps and diarrhea. These two symptoms must be present for a person to be diagnosed with lactose intolerance. Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. The disorder is more common in some ethnic groups than in others. For example, up to 75 percent of all adult African Americans and Native Americans and 90 percent of Asian Americans are considered to be lactose intolerant."

"text": "Bloating, Flatulence & Gassiness: The Causes and 4-Step Anti-Gas Relief Plan Remember those days when you could eat anything and it didn’t matter? You could stuff anything closely resembling food in your face and never think about it again. For most of us, who are middle-aged, or for women fast approaching menopause, those days are gone forever. Today, this kind of eating is likely to send a friendly “reminder” wafting into the air a few hours later. Occasional bloating, flatulence, gassiness, and indigestion can be uncomfortable – both for you and for others in the room – and if it is happening a lot, it may just be a sign from your body that something needs to change. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at digestion, and this poor digestion leads to an increase in bloating, gassiness and flatulence. For example, the slow down of the gastrointestinal tract’s processes as a woman ages can sometimes result in menopausal indigestion. Aging Means More Bloating, Flatulence and Gassiness There are many other reasons for becoming gassy and bloated such as eating foods that cause gassiness and bloating, not properly combining foods, or gulping air while you’re eating, but the vast majority of gas is produced by bacteria in your gut. 1The whole story of what’s going on is a combination of loss of digestive powers, the bacteria in your gut, and the types of foods you decide to put into your mouth. While it might feel that these changes have occurred quickly, in most people they have happened slowly over time as their body changes and ages."

"text": "Treatment There's no cure for lactose intolerance, but most people are able to control their symptoms by making changes to their diet. Some cases of lactose intolerance, such as those caused by gastroenteritis, are only temporary and will improve within a few days or weeks. Other cases, such as those caused by an inherited genetic fault or a long-term underlying condition, are likely to be lifelong. Changing your diet In most cases, cutting down on or avoiding sources of lactose and replacing them with lactose-free alternatives is enough to control the symptoms of lactose intolerance. The exact changes you need to make to your diet depend on how sensitive you are to lactose. Some people are able to tolerate some lactose in their diet without any problems, whereas others experience symptoms after consuming food containing only a tiny amount of lactose. If you decide to experiment with what you can and can't eat, make sure to introduce new foods gradually, rather than all at once. This will help you to get used to any foods you might be sensitive to and identify any that cause problems. Eating fewer products containing lactose, or avoiding them completely, can mean you miss out on certain vitamins and minerals in your diet and increase your risk of complications. You'll also need to make sure you're getting enough nutrition from either lacto-free foods or dietary supplements."

While sudden lactose intolerance isn't common or likely, it's certainly possible. There are a few things you can do to determine whether you're actually lactose intolerant, and if so, how to cope with your symptoms. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is a commonly over-diagnosed condition, notes a 1999 article in the \"\"American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.\"\" True lactose intolerance results from an inability to produce sufficient quantities of the digestive enzyme lactase, which breaks down milk sugar. Typically, humans produce large quantities of lactase early in life, and lactase production often decreases slowly with age. As such, it's quite common to become lactose intolerant over a period of time. Sudden lactose intolerance, however, is much more rare. Causes If you think you've suddenly become lactose intolerant, the cause is likely an injury or illness of the intestine, explains Mayo Clinic.com. Inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract can affect your ability to produce lactase, and leave you with symptoms of lactose intolerance including gas production, cramping and bloating upon consuming dairy."

When someone has a food allergy, their immune system wrongly sees the food as hostile and the body's defence mechanism springs into action. This produces a range of symptoms which can vary from mild itching to severe breathing difficulties or even shock. These symptoms usually happen immediately after eating the food. When someone is intolerant to a food, the immune system is usually not involved and symptoms take much longer to develop and are generally not life-threatening. However, a food intolerance can adversely affect long-term health. Downloads Food intolerance infographic (PDF, 100KB)Are food allergy and intolerance forms of food poisoning?

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Lactose Intolerance As a baby, your digestive system produces plenty of lactase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose, because your entire diet is based on milk. As you age, your small intestines stop producing as much lactase. If your body makes too little lactase, you can become lactose intolerant. When this occurs, your body can no longer digest the lactose in milk, which causes harmless bacteria in the colon to interact with the sugar. This interaction creates excessive gas, bloating and diarrhea within 30 minutes of eating dairy products. Once symptoms begin, there is no treatment aside from waiting for your body to expel the milk sugar."

After all, my sister had been lactose-intolerant since birth and my mother had been off of milk since she made the connection in her years ago that milk products made her quite uncomfortable. Bloating, gassiness, explosive diarreah, constipation, headache… these can all be symptoms of lactose intolerance, particularly if they show up within 1- 12 hours of ingesting a dairy product. Lactose intolerance is not fun, to say the least. It’s particularly common among Mediterranean, Asian, African and other dark-skinned people, but can affect almost anyone. It’s worth noting that mammals didn’t evolve to digest dairy products after weaning, and the human mammal is the only one to continue to drink milk as an adult. Really, lactose intolerance should be no surprise to any of us. Still, life without cheese makes me feel deprived. Evolution didn’t account for the development of cheese."

Become a member!I'm in!Lactose intolerance is when the body does not produce enough lactase to break down lactose, a sugar found in milk and many other milk derived dairy products.advertisement - learn more The enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose is lactase, an enzyme found on the wall of the intestines. Lactase breaks down lactose (the sugar found in milk) into galactose and glucose. The activity of lactase becomes reduced after breastfeeding, at that point the body no longer needs as much lactase. Not to mention a human mothers milk is much different from the milk of a cow. The reduction of lactase activity after infancy is a genetically programmed event. Approximately 75 % of Earths population is lactose intolerant for a reason, because it’s perfectly natural. The statistics vary from race to race and country to country but overall they show an abnormal amount of individuals who qualify. In some Asian countries, 90 percent of the population is lactose intolerant. Interestingly, we are the only species on the planet that drinks milk from another species."

Why do some people suffer much more after injury than others? Sometimes it's because of what they eat, drink, or inhale. Food allergies & food intolerances cause muscle tension & pain in many people. Examples of Pain from Food Allergies & Food Intolerances A massage client has been getting better. They call saying that their back pain suddenly returned, full force. They need massage therapy, right away. When they come in, I ask them what they ate, and note it in their file. The next time they suddenly get worse, I ask them the same question.

"text": "Tanush Jagdish, evolutionary biologist Answered May 15, 2016 · Author has 175 answers and 797.9k answer views Lactose is a disaccharide composed of galactose and glucose, and is in fact the primary carbohydrate found in mammalian milk (Picciano, 2001). Digestion and absorption of lactose occurs in the small intestine, where lactase produced by the intestinal villi breaks the β-galactoside bond joining glucose and galactose (Semenza, 1986). The importance of lactose in infants has been long studied. As early as 1975, Kobayashi et al. showed that absorption of calcium and magnesium ions in infants was negatively affected by the absence of lactose. We now know that lactose makes up to 40% of energy intake of a breastfeeding infant, stimulates the onset of growth, and has a prebiotic effect on the gut flora (reviewed in Grenov et al., 2016). On growing out of infancy, human dependence on lactose as an energy source decreases as other forms of nutrition take over. Consequently, the production of lactase in human beings starts declining when the infant reaches an age of 2-3 years; by 5-10 years, lactase production is completely downregulated to assist weaning (Misselwitz et al., 2013)."

"text": "How Many Calories Are in Cabbage Soup?by JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017If you've heard of the cabbage soup diet, you may be under the impression that cabbage soup is low in calories. In some cases this is true, but the calories in cabbage soup can vary considerably depending on what ingredients you use to make it. Lower-calorie versions make good starters for your meal, while higher-calorie versions may be better used as a main dish. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calorie Comparisons A basic cabbage soup recipe made with cabbage and other nonstarchy vegetables, such as tomatoes, green beans, zucchini and spinach, has about 45 calories per serving. Use cannellini beans, tomatoes, carrots and cabbage and your soup will have about 164 calories per serving. A soup made with cabbage, macaroni, cannellini beans, onions, chicken broth and spices has about 310 calories per serving. If you prefer meat in your cabbage soup, you can replace half of the beans with half a pound of lean turkey breakfast sausage for a soup with about 120 calories per 1-cup serving. Lovers of creamy soups can mix cabbage, skim milk, a little yogurt, potato, onions and spices for a dish with the same 120 calories per cup. Another low-calorie option is a soup made with cabbage, celery, onions, turnips, carrots, vegetable broth, a ham bone with a small amount of meat on it and spices, which has about 63 calories per serving.

"text": "How Many Calories in Tortilla Soup?by FRANK WHITTEMORE Oct. 03, 2017Tortilla soup is a traditional Mexican dish made with tomatoes, chicken, chiles in adobo sauce and, of course, tortillas. A calorie-rich food, tortilla soup gets much of its nutritional value from carbohydrates and fats, particularly saturated fats. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Calories The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports 235 calories in a 1-cup serving of tortilla soup. Fats deliver 120 calories, carbohydrates provide 75 calories and proteins provide 40 calories per serving. Components A 1-cup serving of tortilla soup weighs around 240 g, according to the USDA. Fats offer 13.5 g, while carbohydrates provide almost 19 g and proteins weigh 10 g, Water and other nutrients make up the remaining portion. Nutrients Essential vitamins in tortilla soup include vitamins A, B6, C and K; thiamine; riboflavin; and niacin. Dietary minerals include calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and potassium. Considerations Although tortilla soup is nutritious, providing vitamins, minerals and calories, the soup is also high in saturated fats, with 19 g of saturated fat or more than 100 percent of the daily recommended intake per serving. The American Heart Association suggests eating less than 16 g per day as part of a typical 2,000-calorie daily diet to help minimize the risk of heart disease."

But overindulging in clam chowder, especially New England clam chowder, can cause you exceed your daily calorie allotment and gain weight. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calorie Content Because it is a tomato-based soup, Manhattan-style clam chowder is lower in calories than cream-based New England clam chowder.

I just ate two scrambled eggs mixed with little pieces of tomato and onion and I want to know how many calories I just consumed.

The tomato and onion probably added like an extra 20 calories. So that is a total of 160 calories. If you cooked the eggs in PAM cooking spray, it probably added 5 calories or less. So I wouldn't count it. BUT, if you used butter or oil to cook it, it can really skew the calories. To cook two eggs, you need about 2 teaspoons of butter (1 tsp per egg)."

According to the National Enquirer, that’s not the worst thing to happen with the divorce. Apparently, the ‘$ 375 million divorce deal’ has ‘ exploded’. That’s a lot of money, but then again, Clint Eastwood is worth a lot of money. $375 million dollars is no laughing matter, nor is it chump change. But since the majority of it [if not all] would have come from Clint, does Dina have any right to lay claim to more of the money? Clint already refused to give her spousal support, although he would have to pay for child support in the custody situation with their daughter. Even then, the fact that their divorce was even worth $375 million is insane. They were married for 17 years, so to some extent, Dina is owed some of that money. Clint is reportedly worth even more than $375 million, but their marriage didn’t end on the best of terms and there’s no way he’s splitting half of his life’s worth with his ex-wife."

"text": "\"Clint Eastwood Gran Torino35 (Cert 15)Peter Bradshaw@Peter Bradshaw1Thu 19 Feb 2009 19.01 EST19.01 EST21Still potent ... Bee Vang and Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino T he Ford Gran Torino earned its footnote in pop culture history when a ketchup-red 75 model with a white racing stripe was featured every week in the TV cop show Starsky and Hutch. The model shown here is an earlier vintage, 1972, and its owner's glory days would appear to be from around the same era. This is widower, retired car worker, military veteran and seething American patriot Walt Kowalski, played with grandstanding gusto and unfakable star quality by Clint Eastwood. ( Eastwood also directs and produces.) Walt bought one of the Gran Torinos that he helped to manufacture - \"\"right off the line\"\" - but keeps it in pristine condition in the garage, while he rumbles around town in an old Ford pickup, glowering at foreign automobiles and their disloyal American owners. We join the story as the ageing Walt has just lost his wife and, at the funeral, has to endure the supercilious homilies of a young priest (whose religion he tolerated for his late wife's sake) along with the insolence and lack of respect displayed by his smug grownup sons, both foreign-car owners, and their unspeakable teenage children. The neighbourhood has gone all to hell, too. The house next door is now owned by a Hmong family - a widespread South-east Asian minority - and Walt does not trouble to distinguish them from the Koreans he fought in the 1950s, of whom, we are later to learn, he despatched at least 13. Walt is a racist; he is a resenter of the spooks, gooks and mooks, mentally lumped in with all the local criminals and gangbangers around town who are undermining decent values. The political becomes personal when Thao (Bee Vang), a shy, bookish teenage boy who lives next door to Walt is bullied by his thuggish cousin and no-good buddies into joining their gang."

"text": "1 Unforgiven A Hermeneutical Reading Ditte Friedman Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2012 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 2 Produced on archival quality paper 3 Copyright © 2012 Ditte Friedman 4 Abstract This thesis proposes an existential analysis of the ethical dimension of film. Its goal is to illuminate the role of fiction in creating and testing moral worlds. It does so by examining Unforgiven, a Western film by Clint Eastwood. This examination provides the grounded analysis of a specific moral universe, relating it to earlier analyses of the Western genre. In doing so, the thesis stakes a claim for ethical textual analysis as an alternative to formalism and other established approaches to analyzing film. This thesis examines film as an ethically significant art form. It argues that film is a crucial laboratory for ethical discussion in which the lifeworld, and the representation of lifeworld are interdependent. This interdependence creates a locus of ethical obligation requiring ethical consideration. One issue inherent in film as a locus of ethical obligation is Paul Ricoeur’s concept that relations among human beings are symmetrical. This symmetry is intrinsic to the relation between film viewers and the characters in the films they view."

"text": "\"Nigel Parry Published in the October 2012 issue Clint Eastwood has no ass. This is not a secret. He is known among his friends for having no ass, and his asslessness has contributed to the minimalist gait that has steered him through more than fifty years of climbing on horses and cold-bloodedly killing cold-blooded killers on camera. He has no ass like he has no gut and no pity. He is remarkably consistent, remarkably of a piece, and the only time his lack of ass presents any complications is when he's sitting down in his special place. Clint Eastwood has a special place. It's in his bungalow on the Warner Bros. lot. It's in the corner of the low couch outside his office. It is located directly under a framed letter from a script reader telling him that the script for \"\"Cut-Whore Killing\"\" — which became Unforgiven — was a disgrace. It's diagonally across the room from an out-of-tune upright piano."

"text": "\"\"\"Unforgiven\"\" was Eastwood's turning-pointby Gerardo Valero June 25, 2011 | 33May Contain Spoilers Print Page Tweet Clint Eastwood is one of the few filmmakers whose work I always attend on his reputation alone. This is not to say they've been classics (think of his orangutan movies) but when entering a theater I can be reasonably confident, worst case scenario, of seeing something above average. Eastwood has had several defined periods, such as his Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and the cop pictures of the 70s and 80s (which arrived a bit late here in Mexico because \"\" Dirty Harry \"\" was censored). In a career that spans five decades and included dozens of features, a single splits it into Pre and Post, and that film is \"\" Unforgiven .\"\" It's hard to think of a single feature that puts into perspective a filmmaker's career like this one does for Eastwood, and it opens the door to his current stage which has included some of his best work. Advertisement When \"\"Unforgiven\"\" came along in 1992 I can't say I paid it any special attention before its opening. Clint Eastwood had been chewing out one violent film after another for what seemed like an eternity and this one simply seemed like another one of the countless shoot-them-ups that he had done before in his career. They ranged from the average (\"\" The Gauntlet \"\") to the good (\"\"Dirty Harry\"\") to the classic (\"\" The Good, the Bad and the Ugly \"\"), and it's hard to blame Eastwood for choosing this direction considering he seemed to have been made for cinematic violence; him holding a pistol suited him as well as a tuxedo on James Bond or a magic wand on Harry Potter. \"\" Unforgiven\"\" is the story of a terrible conflict between what seem to be the two main population groups in the town of Big Whisky --the lawmen and the hookers. It is set in motion by the maiming of one of the latter and the inability by sheriff's Little Bill ( Gene Hackman) to bring justice to those responsible."

Regardless of whether you think it's the most important movie you'll ever see or nationalistic grandstanding or a glorified recruiting video, American Sniper is clearly worth talking about. So let's talk! Here are a few thoughts we had while watching the movie and a few reactions to the reactions. [ SPOILERS AHEAD!]#1. The Shift in Perspective Changes Everything American Sniper was written in first person, which invites the reader to judge Chris Kyle as they go. The movie is a third-person narrative, which feels like it insulates Kyle from some of that judgment.

"text": "\"Contactmusic > Film > Review > Changeling Changeling Follow Angelina Jolie\"\"OK\"\"Changeling Review By Chris Cabin Fit snug into the mother superior of self-reflexive roles, Angelina Jolie once again finds herself the eye of the storm in Clint Eastwood 's epic melodrama Changeling. Armed with her thick, crimson lips, period duds, and that ever-present cloche, Jolie goes all gooey as Christine Collins, a single mother who finds herself a media fulcrum when she denies that a boy returned to her by the LAPD is Walter, her son who had been kidnapped five months prior. Based on a catastrophic piece of the infamous Wineville Chicken-Coop Murders, which ran from 1928 to 1930, and the ensuing trials that yielded a major ousting of the LAPD's top tier and almost no real answers, Changeling is an exceedingly visual film yet one that lacks confidence in its imagery, relying too often on clunky language and an unsteady lead performance. This is no loose adaptation of actual events: Collins fought against the terminally-corrupt LAPD for years, became a martyr for forced institutionalization, and kept her job as a roller-skating switchboard operator while continuing the search for her lost boy. That's no small feat for a lone woman in the late 20s/early 30s. After taking the boy the LAPD presented home, Collins begins to document inaccuracies between the delivered boy and her son, only to be brushed off by Captain J. J. Jones ( Jeffrey Donovan ), the man in charge of the investigation. Support comes in the form of Reverend Gustav Briegleb ( John Malkovich ), a flamboyant radio preacher who's been hounding the LAPD for years. When Collins finally takes her story to the media, it's Gustav who starts yelling for her return as she is forced into a psychiatric hospital with a gaggle of mistreated women, the most vocal of whom is played by Amy Ryan. In its third act, Eastwood switches focus to the trial and execution of Gordon Northcott ( Jason Butler Harner ), the man who kidnapped and slaughtered over 20 children on his ranch in Wineville, one of which was Collins' son. The introduction of Northcott disrupts the tone and mood of the film, stumbling from feminist parable to legal drama."

The decibel allows us to quantify level changes with audio and communicate those changes to others. It is not necessary to understand all of the math involved with the decibel. It is important, however, to understand some of the basic underlying principles of the decibel and how it relates to our real world experience with audio. The following audio program explains in simple easy to understand terms for the decibel can be used in your music production work. The text below, outlines this audio program. What Can Be Measured By The Decibel Scale The decibel scale can be used to measure audio in a variety of different ways. The decibel can be used to measure sound pressure level, sound intensity level, voltage level and power, just to name a few.

"text": "How Many Decibels Can a Train Horn Put Out? August 09, 2014Decibel is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the magnitude of a physical quantity; it is used to measure sound level among others. If you are having a normal conversation then you are producing 60-70 decibels, if you are in a loud rock concert, the sound reaches up to 125 decibel. Can you guess what a train horn kits can produce? Most of the horns produce 140 decibels, while some even reach up to 152 decibels. This loud sound is produced by compressing the air, and then releasing air causing the diaphragm to quickly open and close the airway. The normal car horns use the method of electromagnetism, which is different from train horns. Some factor play an important role in producing such a high sound, they include size of air tank, compressor, hose. As the saying goes, size does matter, in this case, it certainly does, as a bigger size of air tank means, more space for air, resulting in louder sound. Same is the case with air compressor, if there is more than one compressor, it will take less time to refill the air in the air tank, making the train horn more effective, and compressors are rated by PSI or pounds per square inch."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Physics How many decibels does a sonic boom have? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: A sonic boom is the audible component of a shock wave in air. The term is commonly used to refer to the air shocks caused by the supersonic flight of military aircraft or passenger transports such as Concorde (Mach 2.2, no longer flying) and the Space Shuttle (Mach 27). Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion; typically the shock front may approach 100 megawatts per square meter, and may exceed 200 decibels. 10 log (100 x 10^ (6)/ 10^ (-12)) = 200 d B This may vary slightly depending on the sound energy but 200 d B is considered the normal, this is at the source of course.

"text": "\"The Differences Between a Power Amplifier and a Voltage Amplifierby John Papiewski Amplifiers are electronic circuits that increase the strength of signals. Hundreds of amplifier designs exist, ranging from simple single-transistor circuits to elaborate digital systems. A power amplifier and a voltage amplifier represent two designs that strengthen signals in different ways. Understanding the difference between voltage and power and their applications helps you select the correct amplifier type for a project. Voltage and Power A circuit's voltage is the energy behind electric charges flowing through wires and components. The volt is the standard unit of voltage, defined as the potential energy difference across a resistance of one ohm, which produces a current flow of one amp. The greater the energy, the higher the voltage. When you multiply the voltage by the current you get the circuit's power, which is expressed in terms of watts: one watt is one volt times one amp. Power is the rate at which a circuit delivers energy -- circuits that handle more voltage and current produce more watts of power. Amplifier Concepts You can think of an amplifier as a valve controlled by an input signal."

"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 important thing to remember is to always protect your hearing for noise levels above 85 d B and use double protection if levels go over 105d B. Once your hearing has been damaged it can't be fixed... So wear hearing protection....unless you like the idea of wearing a hearing aid all the time!Decibel (d B) Range Charts - Click to Enlarge Decibel (d B) is the unit used to measure a sound's strength. The decibel scale is not linear but logarithmic. This means that noise levels can't be added directly like other numbers. On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (near total silence) is 0 d B. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 d B. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 d B. A sound 1,000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 d B. For example, a backhoe and a compressor each producing 90 d B have a combined output of 93 d B, not 180. But 93 d B is still twice as much noise as 90 d B. In other words, sound intensity doubles every 3 d B. Hearing protection should be used for any level over 85 d B and double protection for any level over 105 d B. Sounds must also be specified in terms of frequency or pitch. Most workplace noises include a wide band of frequencies and are measured through the \"\"A\"\" filter in sound-level meters. The noise level is therefore expressed in decibels (d B) on the \"\"A\"\" scale, or d B (A). Duration of exposure is equally important. Duration is typically measured over a workday and accumulated through many years."

"text": "\"Fertility Challenges Treatment IVFHow Much Does IVF Really Cost? What You Should Expect for In Vitro Fertilization Costs By Rachel Gurevich Updated February 12, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jamie Grill / Getty Images The average cost for one in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle is $12,000. Basic IVF can be as much as $15,000 or may be as low as $10,000. It's rarely lower than that. These numbers do not include the cost of medications, which may be as low as $1,500 or as high as $3,000 per cycle. One study asked couples at a fertility clinic to track all their out-of-pocket expenses over a period of 18 months. This included what they paid for the IVF itself, as well as medications and monitoring. The average couple spent $19,234. For every additional cycle, couples spent on average an additional $6,955. So, according to this study, if a couple went through three cycles, that added up to a little over $33,000 in out-of-pocket expenses."

Keith Blauer, M.

Who May Benefit from IUI? To understand why IUI may be helpful to a couple having trouble conceiving, it's important to understand how far sperm has to travel to fertilize an egg — from the vagina through the cervix (which limits the number of sperm that keep traveling), into the uterus and up into one of the fallopian tubes."

"text": "Just Mommies Getting Pregnant / Having Problems Getting Pregnant What is IUI? By Just Mommies staff IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a procedure done in a doctor's office that places sperm directly into a woman's uterus to aid in conception. During normal intercourse, only a small percentage of a man's sperm will make it past the woman's cervix and enter the uterus to fertilize the woman's egg. Most of the sperm that is ejaculated during intercourse remains in the vagina. A small percentage of the ejaculated sperm will travel, with the help of the woman's cervical mucous, through the vagina and into the cervical canal where it is released gradually into the uterus. But, this amount is only a fraction of the total amount of sperm ejaculated. IUI increases a couple's chance of conceiving because it does a few things. First, it removes any obstacles that could keep sperm from entering the uterus, such as hostile cervical mucous or antisperm antibodies. It also places the sperm closer to the egg. Moreover, it improves the odds of conception by simply putting more sperm into the uterus than would be possible through normal intercourse."

Because our fertility clinic is in northern Illinois and close to Wisconsin - insurance coverage for IVF and infertility in Illinois and Wisconsin will be specifically addressed. Insurance coverage for infertility, artificial inseminations and in vitro fertilization varies greatly. Some insurance plans will cover no infertility services, some pay for all of it and many are somewhere in between. About 15 states have some type of mandate for infertility insurance coverage - so couples in those states will be likely to get some help with payment for their fertility services from their health insurance plan. In states without any infertility coverage mandate, most insurance plans do not help much with payment for fertility and IVF services.

"text": "Home › Infertility Treatments › Infertility Treatment › Egg Cryopresevation Egg Cryopreservation Despite the demand for it, egg cryopreservation is not performed nearly as often as sperm and embryo freezing. Why? Because freezing and thawing female eggs is a much more delicate procedure; one that is only beginning to be done successfully. What is Cryopreservation? Often done for sperm and extra embryos produced during IVF, cryopreservation is the process of freezing materials so that they can be used at a later time. Cryopreservation is a fairly simply process usually involving liquid nitrogen to freeze the sperm, embryos or eggs. These materials are then stored in special freezers until they are needed, which can be anywhere from months to years after they are frozen. Why Not Eggs? Officially known as oocyte cryopreservation, freezing eggs is a much more difficult procedure than freezing either sperm or embryos. Women’s eggs are made up of tissue that is much more delicate and likely to be damaged during the thawing process."

Tweet ANSWERS FROM DOCTORS (2)1 year ago by Fertility & Women's Health of Louisiana6 - 8 weeks from start to finish.7 years ago by Boston IVFFrom the initial consultation- you must have all of your diagnostic workup testing- if they are all normal- then you would start a cycle. There are different protocols for different patients- some patients take the birth control pill for a few weeks to down regulate and then start stimulation injections. Once you start the stimulation injections- you are on those and being monitored with blood and ultrasound for about 9-13 days before taking hcg- then your egg retrieval is 2 days after the hcg and the embryo transfer is 3 days after the egg retrieval. So- all in all- it is about 2.5-3 weeks. I hope this is helpful. Related Questions for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)How old is too old to do IVF?

Anonymous We're anticipating losing our insurance coverage for fertility drugs as of January 1st when BCBS changes its policy and, for a variety of reasons, switching insurance companies just isn't an option right now. Does anyone know how much progesterone in oil costs when you're self-pay? How about delestrogen? I'm expecting that we'll need both for our upcoming FET. Thanks so much11/07/2010 12:53 Subject: Re: Rough cost of various fertility drugs without insurance? Anonymous Check the language for the new policy, as the drugs you mention may be covered since they are also used for menopause. I ran out of IVF coverage for meds after my first IVF cycle and still get coverage for estrace, PIO, prometrium, and lupron with a small co-pay. I can also suggest going ahead and ordering your meds now while you still have coverage for sure. I am contemplating a DE cycle and will be asking about ordering meds now, since my co-pays are going up significantly next year.11/07/2010 13:42 Subject: Re: Rough cost of various fertility drugs without insurance?"

It is often given to try to induce ovulation in women that do not develop and release an egg (ovulate) on their own Women who do not ovulate (without drugs) are said to have a condition called anovulation The most common cause of anovulation is polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOSThis page is about Clomid treatment for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, or with irregular menstrual cycles Clomid for women with regular periods is discussed elsewhere Related Pages Polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOSClomid treatment - general PCOS treatment options Injectables for PCOS treatment Intrauterine insemination IUI success rates Clomid and metformin for PCOSFemara (Letrozole) for PCOS treatment IVF treatment for PCOSIVF success rates IVF pricing plans / guarantees Ultrasound picture of a polycystic ovary Many small, immature follicles (black circles) are seen Normal ovary with a mature follicle (at cursors) 18mm diameter follicle is about ready for ovulation PCOS and Clomid Treatment - Ovulation and Pregnancy Success Rates Can I conceive with PCOS? The chance for pregnancy with fertility treatments for PCOS is very good. The great majority of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome will be able to have a baby with treatment. For women under age 35, the question is more about which PCOS treatment will work - and not so much about whether any treatment will work. Ovulation Success Rates Women with PCOS will often ovulate after taking Clomid. However, this is variable and some will not respond to Clomid at all. About three fourths of women that are not ovulating will ovulate on Clomid at some dosing level Women under 35 with PCOS should have about a 15% chance for pregnancy per month with Clomid treatment (for about 3-4 months) - if they ovulate with Clomid (if sperm and fallopian tubes are normal). Clomid for PCOS - Pregnancy Success Rates Only about 50% of women that ovulate with Clomid get pregnant with it For women with PCOS under age 35 in our in vitro fertilization program the success rate is about 70% for pregnancy with one IVF cycle, and about 60% for live birth (miscarriages account for the different rates)."

Born February 5, 1969 in Tarzana in Boston, Massachusetts, Brown became famous for hits in the '80s and '90s such as Don't Be Cruel and Humpin' Around. His musical fame was somewhat overshadowed in the late '90s by his (very publicized) troubled relationship with pop singing sensation Whitney Houston. Brown had an impoverished childhood that was also marred by violence. His parents couldn't afford some of the things he coveted as a child, so Brown and his friends resorted to stealing. The turning point in his life was when one of his close friends was stabbed to death at the age of eleven. In 1986, Brown's first solo album, King of Stage, was released and sold moderately well. It wasn't until he teamed up with R&B songwriters/producers Teddy Riley, L. A. Reid and Babyface that his album Don't Be Cruel took the music world by storm in 1988. Unfortunately, just as his music career had reached a peak, Brown's personal life spun out of control. He became known as a hard partier and a womanizer."

"text": "AP Photo History Dept. The End of the Kennedy Mystique What 'Jackie' says about the eclipse of America’s onetime royal family — and the kind of Democrat the party needs now. By PETER S. CANELLOSJanuary 08, 2017Facebook Twitter Google +Email Comment Print“Jackie,” in which a blood-soaked, chain-smoking Jacqueline Kennedy copes with her husband’s assassination, is the kind of movie that can only be made with the passage of time—53 years, in this case. If such a wrenching docudrama were attempted when its subject was still alive, depicting her trying to keep her dying husband’s brains in his head, it would have been an act of brutality. Too soon, for her and for the country. Now, all the adults who witnessed the horrible events of November 1963 are in their 70s or older. “ Jackie” represents the last stop on the Kennedys’ long, slow passage into history. Their saga remains fascinating, but it isn’t current anymore—not the back story, not the assassination, and not the Kennedy political brand, either. From the ’60s to the ’90s—when the Kennedy machine was revved up and waiting for the right moment to take the country by storm—filmmakers felt compelled to have a point of view. The Kennedy-themed movies and miniseries of that era ranged from worshipful (Oliver Stone’s “JFK,” in which Kevin Costner declares, “Don’t forget your dying king”) to veritable oppo-dumps of scheming, profanity, philandering and election-stealing."

"text": "\"News After Bobbi Kristina Brown's Death, Who Will Whitney Houston's Fortune Go to Now? By Zach Seemayer 6:53 PM PDT, July 28, 2015When music legend Whitney Houston died in February 2012, she left behind a fortune that was estimated at nearly $20 million. Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was named as the singer's sole heir. In the wake of Bobbi Kristina's death, the question of Whitney's sizable fortune has now been thrust into the spotlight: Who will receive the money, and how much is her estate really worth? ET spoke with Andrew Mayoras, attorney and co-author of the book Trial & Heirs, who broke down some of the important points about the possible upcoming fight over Whitney's fortune. WATCH: EXCLUSIVE: Houston Family Reveals Details From Bobbi Kristina Brown's Final Moments, Funeral Plans\"\"There are no other children that were born to Whitney Houston [so] the money goes back into Whitney Houston's estate under the terms of her will, and will be held for the benefit of her mother [Cissy Houston], and her two brothers [Michael Houston and Gary Garland, who is Whitney's half-brother]. \"\"Mayoras went on to explain that it is unlikely Bobbi Kristina's father, singer Bobby Brown, will see any money from Whitney's estate. \"\" Bobby Brown does not inherit anything from Whitney Houston's will,\"\" Mayoras said, adding that he may receive money Bobbi Kristina inherited from her mother if Bobbi Kristina didn't have a will written up specifying otherwise. WATCH: A Look Back at Bobbi Kristina's Best Moments With Mom Whitney Houston It's unclear how much Bobbi Kristina received from her mother's will before her death, or how much remained of what she did receive. However, it's been estimated that the figure could be around $2 million. Mayoras added that Bobbi Kristina's long-time boyfriend Nick Gordon would likely only receive money from Bobbi Kristina's estate if he was named in her will. \"\""

A collaborative effort between the writers, Carly — originally played by Sarah Joy Brown (1996–2001) — was introduced under executive producer Wendy Riche. A \"\"love to hate\"\" character who brings excitement to storylines because of her devious ways, Carly is the illegitimate daughter of former bad girl turned heroine, Bobbie Spencer ( Jacklyn Zeman ). Carly seduces her mother's husband for revenge. Throughout the 2000s, Carly, then Tamara Braun (2001–05) goes on to become one of the show's most prominent, vital and popular characters largely due to her supercouple pairing with mobster Sonny Corinthos ( Maurice Benard) and her friendship with Jason Morgan (then Steve Burton ). Carly's revenge on Bobbie and her near lethal vendetta against A. J. Quartermaine ( Sean Kanan) — the biological father of her son Michael ( Chad Duell) remains two of the most revered and controversial plots in the show's history. While Brown's portrayal of Carly is viewed as a \"\"duplicitous vixen,\"\" Braun's Carly is viewed as more of a romantic heroine. With Laura Wright in the role, Carly goes from being a pampered wife to being powerful business woman while embodying the qualities of her predecessors. Sarah Brown earned three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Carly—two in the Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series category and one in Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. Braun earned an Emmy nomination Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2004."

Prowling around a closet or attic you come across that daisy decal-festooned ‘60s-era electric guitar you remember your dad occasionally plinking on. How do you tell if you’ve got a potential treasure worth thousands, a piece of family memorabilia that has keepsake value or a Goodwill giveaway? Read on to learn how you can assess whether you’re sitting on a treasure, trash or something in between. In the world of music gear the term “vintage” carries a lot of cachet. Manufacturers invoke the V-word to cash in on the allure of classic gear. Brand-new guitars receive aging treatments to give them the look of a much-played elderly instrument.

These days, anybody with a little celebrity and a modicum of skill with a chef's knife seems to have a show. But not all TV chefs are created equal, and that's why we're counting down the most influential TV chefs of all time -- the ones who changed the way we cook and how we talk about food, and whose lessons have resulted in a spike in kitchen fires over the decades. Note: For the purposes of this list, we focused on chefs who have actually hosted instructional cooking shows instead of chef-influencers who haven't taught you how to cut an onion (e.g., Anthony Bourdain) or who merely show up as guests on cooking shows (Marcus Samuelsson, Aaron Sanchez).

Her family has allegedly been told by Los Angeles County Coroner officials there was not enough water in her lungs to conclude she had drowned in her luxury hotel bathtub and in fact died before her head went under water, said gossip website TMZ. The revelations come as it emerged that her daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18, allegedly fell asleep in a bathtub in the same Beverly Hilton hotel just 24 hours before her mother died. TMZ claims security was called to unlock the door and to help the 18-year-old on that occasion. Relatives now fear Bobbi Kristina has become suicidal - after she was rushed to hospital twice in the 24 hours following the discovery of her mother’s dead body in the bathtub of a Hollywood hotel. Scroll down for video of her last performance Emergency: Whitney Houston's only daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown (centre) was rushed to hospital the day after her superstar mother was found dead.

She was then pictured being taken out of the Beverly Hilton - the same hotel where her mother had died just hours earlier- on a stretcher at 10.30am yesterday and being rushed to Cedars-Sinai where she was treated for extreme anxiety. She was released several hours later, but friends and family are still very concerned about her mental state. Crack cocaine user Houston, 48, was found dead under the bath water in luxury suite number 434 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday afternoon, which is said to have been littered with bottles of prescription pills."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology How much is my petrified wood worth? I have a piece of petrified wood that is about 18 inches long and in log form. The inside is not visible and I have no idea of it's worth. I was wondering how to get it appraised. Any ideas would be most welcome.15 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Every week people with dollar signs floating in front of their eyes ask me how much their petrified wood is worth. I feel so sad telling them that most kinds of petrified wood are unremarkable and not very valuable. If there was any money to be made collecting and selling petrified wood I would be a millionaire since my ranch is located in the middle of a petrified wood forest. But there isn't and I'm not. Most rock shops have a huge pile of petrified wood in the back yard that sits there decade after decade without selling. Agatized petrified wood sells sparingly at retail for about $1.00 to $3.00 per pound. ("

Jun 13, 2015 01:13 PM EDT | By Victoria Guerra TAG: Dave Grohl Net worth, Dave Grohl, Dave Grohl Nirvana, Dave Grohl Breaks Leg, Dave Grohl David Letterman, Foo Fighters concert, Foo Fighters For more than two decades, Dave Grohl's net worth has risen as he's one of the most iconic people in the music business, particularly in the rock scene, being famous as much for his own talents as he is for being one of the nicest people in the industry. He's so nice, in fact, that in spite of Dave Grohl's net worth, the Foo Fighters singer and Nirvana drummer, alongside his 20 year-old band, was present for some of David Letterman's most iconic moments in \"\"The Late Show,\"\" having sung Letterman's favorite song, \"\"Everlong,\"\" when he recovered from heart surgery and in his final show. Besides being close to Letterman, in fact Dave Grohl's net worth comes from one of the most interesting careers in rock music, from the time he was the drummer in the iconic grunge band Nirvana, led by legendary singer Kurt Cobain. When Cobain was still alive and Dave Grohl's net worth depended basically on cultural icon Nirvana, Grohl created a sample of his own music project, of what would ultimately become Foo Fighters, where he sang and played all the instruments himself - and, when showing his work to Cobain, Courtney Love's then-husband loved it!After that, Dave Grohl's net worth has mostly come from his earnings from Foo Fighters albums and concert tickets sales, still being one of the most popular and iconic rock bands in the world after 20 years, having been founded in 1994.c Currently, the band consists of Grohl, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins and Chris Shiflett. Besides his ventures in Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Grohl has also collaborated with some of the world's most important musicians, including former Beatle Paul Mc Cartney, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie and recent Grammy Award winners Tenacious D. Earlier this week, Grohl broke his leg onstage during a Foo concert in Sweden - and kept rocking while he was being patched up!Currently and with a career of more than two decades behind him, Dave Grohl's net worth stands at $260 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.

"text": "C Diff Fecal Transplant Therapy – 7 Key Facts C diff fecal transplant therapy is sometimes known as Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT). Because some people suffer chronic c difficile doctors are using a new therapy to dislodge the disruptive c diff from their intestine. Fecal matter from a family member is often sought so that the material entering their system is reflective of local stomach flora. This is then turned into a liquid slurry and inserted into the body to colonise the intestine. How do fecal matter transplants work? For most people this introduces a new balance in the intestine and restores the bacteria depleted by antibiotic treatment. This bacteria would in normal circumstances combat the c diff anyway. It is by no means clear as yet exactly how the cure takes place in specific biological terms – but the general theory that recolonizing the colon with healthy bacteria will reverse the c difficile seems to be true. Some research indicates that the reintroduction of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes elements are part of the cure. What is a Fecal Microbiota Transplant?"

For at least the last 8 years, general conscensus amoung co-workers on my floor has been once a female nurse is pregnant she no longer will take patients on pre-cautions.... MRSA, VRE, CDiff etc. We also ensure that these nurses dont take patients with chicken pox, shingles, necrotizing facitis, head lice, scabies. Basically nothing too contagious or too nasty. Things have been going fine with this during my entire pregnancy-as well as for a few of my pregnant co-workers until recently I was floated to another unit (the icu). Here I was expected to take on two isolation patients. They presently have a pregnant nurse who will take any and all patients regardless of their diagnosis. But I refused as my floor had already let them know 3 hours before my shift began that a pregnant nurse would be floating and therefore the assignment needed to be 'clean'."

There are numerous causes of colitis including infection, inflammatory bowel disease ( Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis ), ischemic colitis, allergic reactions, and microscopic colitis. Symptoms of colitis depend upon the cause and may includeabdominal pain,cramping,diarrhea, with or without blood in the stool (one of the hallmark symptoms of colitis). Associated symptoms depend upon the cause of colitis and may includefever,chills,fatigue,dehydration,eye inflammation,joint swelling,canker sores,skin inflammation. Blood in the stool is never normal and medical care should be sought for evaluation of the cause. Depending upon the history and physical examination, further testing may be necessary to find the cause of colitis and may include blood tests ( complete blood count, electrolytes, kidney function and inflammatory marker tests), urine and stool samples, colonoscopy, and barium enema. Treatment of colitis depends upon the cause, and often is focused on symptom relief, supportive care, and maintaining adequate hydration and pain control. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat infectious causes of colitis. Some bacterial infections that cause colitis resolve without any antibiotic treatment.

"text": "Is C diff Contagious? What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You5 Myths about C. diff.3 Steps to Get Rid of C. difficile Many people want to know “Is C. diff contagious?”The answer is yes. C. difficile can be very contagious. C. difficile is spread from people who are infected to others through touch, from contact with contaminated objects or surfaces (like cell phones, shopping cart handles, gym equipment, etc). It is very important to wash your hands well after using the bathroom, as C diff resides in your stool. If you touch a contaminated surface and then eat (without washing your hands) you can ingest the bacteria which could then cause an infection. You become sick by ingesting the bacteria. Some people are also carriers of C. diff, and they may not have any symptoms of the infection. Those who are especially vulnerable are the elderly, who often have weaker immune systems and complicating health problems. C. difficile is a bacteria that spreads through something called “spores” (an inactive form of C. diff)."

Does someone know about these infections?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: What is MRSA? Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a common type of staph bacterium which lives on the skin and in the nasal passages of around 30% of the population. Mostly, this staph aureus bacterium does no harm and does not pose a problem with infection or require a cure. But, like many bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus has the ability to pose a serious infection problem, if you are feeling run down, ill, injured or if you have undergone any form of surgery. It can cause a very serious staph infection, if it enters the body, such as through open wounds, or instruments placed in the body, or by cross-contamination from another patient, nursing staff or specialist. Without the proper medical treatment and medical information, this can lead to death or be difficult to cure. MRSA and Staph.aureus infections are most commonly transmitted from person to person by touch. It is also possible to acquire MRSA infection from dust containing contaminated skin particles or from objects in the environment, or from surfaces that may be contaminated with the MRSA bacterium."

To call Clostridium difficile ( C diff ), a disease that primarily threatens older patients in hospitals and elder care facilities, a thorn in the side of healthcare workers would be an understatement. The virulent bacterial infection that causes severe diarrhea is quick to spread and difficult to remove from hospital environments, and its incidence has exploded in the last decade. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it has caused more deaths in the United States than all other intestinal infections combined. While those infected are often only mildly sick, C diff can advance to a point where it “irreversibly damages the colon,” says William A. Petri, Jr, MD, Ph D, a professor of internal medicine and pathology and the associate director of microbiology at the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia. In severe cases, C diff may cause sepsis, multiorgan failure, intestinal perforation, or death. It’s a disease that traditionally affects adults over the age of 65, perhaps due to a weakened immune system. “ What’s at least a possibility is that they don’t develop a good immune response to the C diff toxins so they’re more prone to get infected in the first place."

"text": "An enzyme immunoassay for the detection of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) produced by both toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of Clostridium difficile. After treatment with antibiotics, many patients develop gastrointestinal problems ranging from mild diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis. Many cases of the milder forms of gastrointestinal illness and most cases of pseudomembranous colitis are caused by Clostridium difficile, an opportunistic anaerobic bacterium that grows in the intestine once the normal flora has been altered by antibiotics. Toxigenic strains of C. difficile carry the genes encoding the toxins whereas non-toxigenic strains do not carry the toxin genes. The disease results from the toxins that the organism produces. The clinical symptoms associated with the disease are believed to be primarily due to toxin A, which is a tissue-damaging enterotoxin. C. difficile also produces a second toxin, designated toxin B. Toxin B, which has been referred to as the cytotoxin of the organism, is the toxin detected by the tissue culture assay currently used by many laboratories. Toxigenic C. difficile strains produce both toxins or only toxin B. The glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) of C. difficile is a good antigen marker for the organism in feces because it is produced in high amounts by all strains, toxigenic or non-toxigenic. The antigen can be detected in fecal specimens by using the C. DIFF CHEK™ -60 test. A positive result in the test, which is highly specific for the glutamate dehydrogenase of C. difficile, confirms the presence of this organism in a fecal specimen; a negative result indicates the absence of the organism."

Your body has a lot of \"\"good\"\" and necessary bacteria. It also has some \"\"bad\"\" or dangerous bacteria. Clostridium difficile ( C. diff) is part of the normal bacteria found in some people’s intestines or colons. Fortunately, when you are healthy and are not taking antibiotics, the millions of good bacteria in your system keep the C. diff under control and in smaller numbers. However, when you take an antibiotic, the levels of good bacteria are reduced down to a smaller number. This makes it possible for the C. diff to overpopulate your intestine or colon. When this happens, you may get the illness called Clostridium difficile colitis."

"text": "\"The term \"\"Seward's folly\"\" refers to the United States' Secretary of State William Seward's decision to purchase the Alaskan territory from Russia in 1867. At the time, Seward's decision to buy the land was regarded as a terrible one by many critics in the US. In 1867, Czar Alexander II of Russia decided to sell the country's territory in Alaska, because Russia was having economic troubles and would not be able to sufficiently defend the territory from invaders. The czar reasoned that they would be better off selling the territory than waiting for it to be annexed by another country. He offered to sell the land to the United States, and sent a Russian diplomat to enter negotiations with William Seward. Those negotiations resulted in the purchase of 6,000,000 square miles (15,539,928.66 square km) for $7,200,000 US Dollars (USD) — only a few cents per acre. Though public opinion of the purchase was generally positive, it was the words of several critics that gave \"\"Seward's Folly\"\" its name — most notably, The New York Tribune 's Horace Greely, who claimed that Alaska \"\"contained nothing of value but furbearing animals, and these had been hunted until they were nearly extinct. Except for the Aleutian Islands and a narrow strip of land extending along the southern coast the country would be not worth taking as a gift. \"\" In the 1890s, however, large quantities of gold were discovered in the Alaskan territory, which made critics change their tune and praise Seward for his foresight. Unfortunately, he never got to see his decision acknowledged for the great accomplishment it was, as he passed away in 1872, before the gold reserves had been found."

[ 1]The Alaska Purchase ( Russian: Продажа Аляски, tr. Prodazha Alyaski) was the United States ' acquisition of Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, by a treaty ratified by the United States Senate, and signed by President Andrew Johnson. Russia wanted to sell its Alaskan territory, fearing that it might be seized if war broke out with the United Kingdom. Russia's primary activities in the territory had been fur trade and missionary work among the Native Alaskans. The land added 586,412 square miles (1,518,800 km 2) of new territory to the United States. Reactions to the purchase in the United States were mostly positive; some opponents called it \"\" Seward's Folly \"\" (after Secretary of State William H. Seward ), while others praised the move for weakening both the UK and Russia as rivals to American commercial expansion in the Pacific region. Originally organized as the Department of Alaska, the area was renamed the District of Alaska and the Alaska Territory before becoming the modern state of Alaska upon being admitted to the Union as a state in 1959.

He served under Lincoln and his successor, Andrew Johnson, until 1869. Although Seward was at times impetuous – shortly after taking office in 1861 he proposed to Lincoln that the Union be preserved by starting a war with France or Spain – Lincoln blocked his imprudent projects and channeled his brilliance and effervescence into more useful activities. An outspoken abolitionist, Seward negotiated the Lyons-Seward Treaty of 1862, which put in place new measures to end the Atlantic slave trade. During the Civil War, he carefully managed diplomatic relations with Great Britain and France. He persuaded the British government to stop British shipyards from building war ships for the Confederacy. And he continually pressed the French and British not to recognize the Confederate states as an independent nation. His success on behalf of the Union cause was rewarded by an attempted assassination on the same night that the conspirators killed Lincoln. Fortunately, Seward survived the attack. Seward was a firm proponent of the Monroe Doctrine and a firm believer in its philosophical underpinning, Manifest Destiny—the inevitability of the United States expanding west to the Pacific Ocean."

Uniquely (for the US), it carries both freight and passengers throughout its system, including Denali National Park. The railroad has a mainline over 470 miles (760 km) long and is well over 500 miles (800 km) including branch lines and siding tracks. It is currently owned by the state of Alaska. The railroad is connected to the contiguous 48 via three rail barges that sail between the Port of Whittier, Alaska and Harbor Island in Seattle (the Alaska Railroad-owned Alaska Rail Marine, [3] and the CN Rail -owned Aqua Train, [4] from Whittier to Prince Rupert, British Columbia) but does not currently have a direct, land-based connection with any other railroad lines on the North American network. In 2016, the company suffered a net loss of $4.3 million on revenues of $169.8 million, holding $1.1 billion in total assets. ["

The United States flag ... was properly attached and began its ascent, hoisted by my private secretary [and son], George Lovell Rousseau, and again salutes were fired as before, the Russian water battery leading off. The flag was so hoisted that in the instant it reached its place the report of the big gun of the Ossipee reverberated from the mountains around ... Captain Pestchouroff stepped up to me and said, 'General Rousseau, by authority from his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, I transfer to the United States the Territory of Alaska' and in a few words I acknowledged the acceptance of the transfer, and the ceremony was at an end.\"\" [ 1]Due to the 11-hour time difference between Sitka and St. Petersburg, and the fact that Russia still used the Julian calendar, the date is sometimes given as Saturday, 7 October.

[ 1]. It was signed on December 10, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, and came into effect on April 11, 1899, when the ratifications were exchanged. [ 2] The Treaty signaled the end of the Spanish Empire in America and the Pacific Ocean (see also the German-Spanish Treaty (1899)), and marked the beginning of an age of United States colonial power. Platt Amendment, 1901 was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United States Congress, replacing the earlier Teller Amendment. [ 1] It stipulated the conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American War and defined the terms of Cuban-U. S. relations until the 1934 Treaty of Relations. The Amendment ensured U. S. involvement in Cuban affairs and gave legal standing (in U. S. law) to U. S. claims to certain territories on the island including Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. [ 2]Open Door notes is a concept in foreign affairs, which usually refers to the policy in 1899 allowing multiple Imperial powers access to China, with none of them in control of that country. As a theory, the Open Door Policy originates with British commercial practice, as was reflected in treaties concluded with Qing Dynasty China after the First Opium War (1839-1842). [ 1] As a specific policy with regard to China, it was first advanced by the United States in the Open Door Notes of September-November 1899, authored by William Woodville Rockhill. [ 2] In 1898, the United States had become an East Asian power through the acquisition of the Philippine Islands, and when the partition of China by the European powers and Japan seemed imminent, the United States felt its commercial interests in China threatened."

John Whitehead, University of Georgia, Athens How have American historians viewed and written about the \"\"frontier?\"\" In American historiography the frontier has been defined as the line or area of open and free land where settlement is sparse--sometimes defined as land settled by less than 2 people per square mile. The way this \"\"frontier\"\" or area of open land has been viewed over some two centuries has been shaped by certain facts or concepts based on the acquisition of several different frontiers. The way these frontiers have been acquired has differed. As a result there are several seemingly contradictory interpretations of the frontier. Just how were these different frontiers acquired?1) The Old West or the Trans-Appalachian West lying between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River This frontier was acquired after the American Revolution based on victory over England. It was an area of fertile land suitable for farming. It contained Indian inhabitants engaged in fur trading with Caucasians. At first people wondered if it would it be treated as a colonial region-a place to send \"\"undesirable\"\" or \"\"troublesome\"\" settlers from the East Coast or a place where \"\"undesirables\"\" would naturally congregate and become a threat to the East coast."

A former U. S. Representative from New York, Fillmore was elected the nation's 12th Vice President in 1848, and was elevated to the presidency by the death of Zachary Taylor. He was instrumental in getting the Compromise of 1850 passed, a bargain that led to a brief truce in the battle over slavery. He failed to win the Whig nomination for president in 1852; he gained the endorsement of the nativist Know Nothing Party four years later, and finished third in that election. Fillmore was born into poverty in the Finger Lakes area of New York state —his parents were tenant farmers during his formative years. He rose from poverty through study, and became a lawyer with little formal schooling. He became prominent in the Buffalo area as an attorney and politician, was elected to the New York Assembly in 1828, and to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1832. Initially, he belonged to the Anti-Masonic Party, but became a Whig as the party formed in the mid-1830s; he was a rival for state party leadership with editor Thurlow Weed and Weed's protégé, William H. Seward. Through his career, Fillmore declared slavery an evil, but one beyond the powers of the federal government, whereas Seward was not only openly hostile to slavery, he argued that the federal government had a role to play in ending it. Fillmore was an unsuccessful candidate for Speaker of the House when the Whigs took control of the chamber in 1841, but was made Ways and Means Committee chairman."

It was past its peak by the late 1850s. The Second Great Awakening reflected Romanticism characterized by enthusiasm, emotion, and an appeal to the super-natural. It rejected the skeptical rationalism and deism of the Enlightenment. The revivals enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations. Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age. The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Which method of abolishing slavery was most beneficial for African-Americans? Radical Abolition of Slavery Definition: \"\"Radical\"\" abolitionism is the belief that all forms of slavery should be stopped immediately, with full emancipation granted to slaves. Gradual Emancipation Definition: \"\"Gradual Emancipation\"\" was the form of an anti-slavery movement that allowed for the step-by-step liberation of African-American slaves. Tactics of Radical Abolition/Garrisonians: The Rise of \"\"Radicalism\"\" Early Attempts in America: The first United States attempt to abolish slavery came in April of 1688 when Quakers of Germantown, Pennsylvania sent a document to the governing bodies of their Quaker Church, the “Society of Friends”. “ An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery” was passed by the Pennsylvania legislature on March 1st, 1780. This was the first attempt by a Northern \"\"State\"\" to abolish slavery (Vermont was a Republic). The first American abolition society is generally acknowledged as “The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage”, formed in 1775 in Philadelphia, primarily by Quakers. After suspending activity during the Revolutionary War, it was reorganized with Benjamin Franklin as its first president."

The revival movement had a permanent impact on Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion. The Great Awakening marked the emergence of Anglo-American evangelicalism as a transdenominational movement within the Protestant churches. In the United States, the term Great Awakening is most often used, while in the United Kingdom, it is referred to as the Evangelical Revival. Building on the foundations of older traditions— Puritanism, pietism and Presbyterianism —major leaders of the revival such as George Whitefield, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards articulated a theology on revival and salvation that transcended denominational boundaries and helped create a common evangelical identity. Revivalists added to the doctrinal imperatives of Reformation Protestantism an emphasis on providential outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Extemporaneous preaching gave listeners a sense of deep personal conviction of their need of salvation by Jesus Christ and fostered introspection and commitment to a new standard of personal morality. Revival theology stressed that religious conversion was not only intellectual assent to correct Christian doctrine but had to be a \"\" new birth \"\" experienced in the heart. Revivalists also taught that receiving assurance of salvation was a normal expectation in the Christian life. While the Evangelical Revival united evangelicals across various denominations around shared beliefs, it also led to division in existing churches between those who supported the revivals and those who did not."

Origin and history of Buddhism The influence of Buddha on World History Siddharta Gautama, the man who called himself the awakened one (Buddha) after a spiritual experience, had a profound effect on world history. He lived around 300 BC in what's now Nepal and Northern India. He started out the son of a local chief (or king as legend would have it), and ended up with followers all over the Ganges delta. His teachings are a logical result of the Upanishadic period: a period in which speculation about the soul, reincarnation and so on had combined with yogic practices into various spiritual movements. Each of those movements lead by a charismatic man (no women made that prominent a mark on history at the time, though there were a few strong nuns under Gautama's followers). Contemporaries of Buddha include the ascetic founder of the Jains, Mahavira, who walked around naked and ultimately starved himself to death. The Jains would be as influentials as the Buddhists within India itself, and even managed to have a permanent place in it's history. Buddhism however was not bound by the restrictions of the Hindu caste system and therefore more suitable for the world outside the peninsula. It spread to all of Southern Asia, including what's now Indonesia, into China and through China into Japan."

The Enlightenment artistic style is called \"\"classical\"\" (as opposed to the earlier Baroque and the later Romantic styles). The Enlightenment marked advances in philosophy, the sciences (especially physics, chemistry and mathematics ), economics, political theory, geography (especially exploration), and technology (especially the origins of the Industrial Revolution ), though in fact the greatest achievements in those fields were typically inspired by Christianity . Out of the Enlightenment emerged the new philosophy of liberalism. Thinkers like Adam Smith had a major impact on creating classical liberalism and the ideals of the free market. John Locke is often considered the father of the Enlightenment and wrote several works on social contract theory and religious toleration. Several of America's Founding Fathers were actively engaged in the Enlightenment, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, and their political thinking influenced American political ideas of republicanism .

President Timothy Dwight of Yale College took the lead in chapel sermons and classroom discussions which motivated the students and prepared the way for a renewed religious interest. A revival began in 1802 that resulted in the conversion of a third of the Yale student body. The Awakening spread to other colleges and soon a stream of young college graduates was entering every form of religious work, particularly the Christian ministry and education and home and foreign mission enterprises. In western New York, the spirit of revival encouraged the emergence of new new denominations, especially the Mormons and the Holiness movement. In the west especially—at Cane Ridge, Kentucky and in Tennessee—the revival strengthened the Methodists and the Baptists and introduced into America a new form of religious expression—the Scottish camp meeting.

"text": "\"The Second Great Awakening and Rise of Evangelicalism Transformations in American economics, politics and intellectual culture found their parallel in a transformation of American religion in the decades following independence, as the United States underwent a widespread flowering of religious sentiment and unprecedented expansion of church membership known as the Second Great Awakening. Definitions of the term and assessments of the causes, contours, and effects of the Awakening are in dispute, but a number of basic features are generally agreed upon. The Awakening lasted some 50 years, from the 1790s to the 1840s, and spanned the entire United States. The religious revitalization that the Awakening represented manifested itself in different ways according to the local population and church establishment, but was definitely a Protestant phenomenon. Methodist and Baptist denominations experienced a surge of membership, often at the expense of other denominations, prompting a move toward liberalization and competitiveness on the part of the Anglican, Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches. The numerical success of the Methodists and Baptists lay primarily in their reliance on itinerant preachers who actively brought the message of the church to the people, converting great numbers through emotionally charged revivals. These revivals occurred on a scale and with a frequency previously unseen in the United States, and usually struck more conservative clergymen as excessive emotionalism masquerading as religion. With the maturation of revivalism and the evolution of a distinct revivalist methodology aimed at converting people en masse , the age of evangelicalism had arrived, with the Protestants leading the charge. The social impact of the Second Great Awakening may be gauged by reviewing several main thrusts of the scholarly literature. The traditional school of thought has tended to portray the period as one marked by widespread secularization and the concomitant efforts of church elites to reestablish order and bring wandering Christians back into the ecclesiastical fold."

"text": "By the time Cotton Mather died in 1728, his two-volume church history, the Magnalia Christi Americana, had all but vanished in England and America. As one of New England’s most prominent and controversial Puritan figures, Mather represented a generation of colonists and a theological stance that, like his book, was quickly receding into the past. 1 The Magnalia is an exhaustive historical account of colonial New England that includes descriptions of the founding of specific Puritan congregations and seminaries, accounts of spiritual trials and martyrdom, and celebrations of God’s providential care over the Puritans. But despite the prominence of its author, the usefulness of its records, and the optimism of its theological message, a complete American edition of the Magnalia did not exist until almost 120 years after its first printing in London in 1702. 2In 1820, the Magnalia was saved from obscurity by a Connecticut minister and antiquarian, Thomas Robbins. Robbins’s decision to publish the first American edition of the Magnalia was driven by his involvement in two significant national movements between 1820 and 1855: the Second Great Awakening and the emergence of American antiquarianism, or as David Van Tassel terms it, “Documania” (103). All who knew him felt that Robbins represented the spirit of the Puritan fathers in his duties as pastor and antiquarian. In a tribute to Robbins published in the Round Table on January 6, 1866, and appended to Robbins’s diary, Dr. Henry R. Stiles, a well-known Brooklyn historian and genealogist, wrote affectionately of an older Robbins pacing the halls of the Connecticut Historical Society, speaking with anyone willing to hear about his artifacts. 3 Stiles depicts Robbins as “a venerable little white-haired man, in an old-fashioned costume of black, with small-clothes, white silk stockings, and knee-buckles” navigating the masses of “old portraits, old chairs and chests out of the [End Page 565] Mayflower, Captain Miles Standish’s dinner-pot, Indian relics, worm-eaten manuscripts, old battle-flags . . . and scraps of ancient costume” ( Diary 1081 )."

While it occurred in all parts of the United States, it was especially strong in the Northeast and the Midwest. By the late 1700s, many people in the U.

Many of the Progressives thought children shouldn’t be allowed to work until a certain age because the young children were becoming ill due to working conditions.

The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies (Trust Busting) and corporations through antitrust laws. These antitrust laws were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors. Many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation.

The Second Great Awakening covers various religious movements and trends concerning the defiance of simple categorizations of religions.

People believed that God was not concerned with the number of regular church attendances, but rather how they lived their lives on Earth. Some became too focused on worshiping God by earning money.

Many reformers believed that they were doing God’s work, and the Second Great Awakening did much to encourage them in their missions. These reform movements, like many issues of the day, quickly became sectional in nature. New England and Midwestern areas settled by New Englanders were most likely to be reformist. Southerners, by contrast, actively opposed the abolition of slavery, pursued temperance and school reform only halfheartedly, and largely ignored women’s rights. Abolitionism Perhaps the most prominent and controversial reform movement of the period was abolitionism, the anti-slave movement. Although abolitionism had attracted many followers in the revolutionary period, the movement lagged during the early 1800s. By the 1830s, the spirit of abolitionism surged, especially in the Northeast."

"text": "The Secular C. S. Lewis: Neil Postman’s Unlikely Influence on Evangelicals May 2, 2013 By Arthur W. Hunt IIITweet He was basically a secular Jew, and I am basically a conservative Christian, but he taught me more than almost any Christian I can think of (C. S. Lewis?).—Dr. T. David Gordon Dr. Gordon’s comment, which appeared in an online post among other recollections of Neil Postman (Rosen, 2003), demonstrates how well the media theorist and educator who passed away in October 2003, is held in high regard by a selection of evangelical academics and scholars. To rank Postman up there with the author and apologist C. S. Lewis is no small matter for a Christian educator like Gordon who teaches Greek and Religion at Grove City College in western Pennsylvania. This is not to say that the entire evangelical community is familiar with Postman or would agree with the basic thrust of his writings, for evangelicalism is a big pond with an assortment of diverse fish, many paying no attention whatsoever to the water in which they swim. It would be more accurate to say that it is a particular kind of evangelical fish that likes to quote Postman—a reflective fish, a Reformed fish, a confessional fish, a fish out of water. This article attempts to explain why certain evangelicals consider Postman, if not their favorite teacher, at least one of their favorite teachers, despite never having sat in a classroom with him or ever hearing of something called the New York School. First, a definition of evangelicalism is in order, coupled with a description of the sort of evangelical that affectionately leans upon Postman. Second, Postman’s philosophical outlook is compared and contrasted with these evangelicals to ascertain the intersecting lines of agreement relating to a critical assessment of American culture. Finally, some samples of evangelical scholarship that rely heavily on Postman’s work are reviewed. What Is an Evangelical Anyway?"

"text": "How to Reheat Chicken Without Drying It Outby M. H. DYER Oct. 03, 2017Freshly cooked chicken is moist and delicious, but after reheating, that crispy, succulent chicken often becomes tough, dry and flavorless. Whether you're reheating a take-out rotisserie chicken from your supermarket or home-cooked chicken pieces, proper reheating in the oven or microwave retains the flavor and texture of the chicken. No matter what reheating method you choose, the most important thing is to reheat the chicken safely. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Oven Step 1Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Step 2Line a baking sheet with a large piece of aluminum foil. The foil should be large enough to extend beyond the sides of the baking sheet. Step 3Place the chicken in the center of the baking sheet. Pull the sides of the aluminum foil up and wrap the chicken tightly with the foil. Step 4Reheat the chicken until the internal temperature of the meat registers at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer."

And while you probably can't reheat french fries to their original crispy state, you can get darn close if you know the best reheating method. Here's a guide to help you figure out if you should reheat your food on the stove, in the oven, or in the microwave, with some tips to help you do each. Reheat with confidence!The Basic Rule of Thumb for Reheating If you have the luxury of a full kitchen at your disposal when reheating food, this is the basic rule of thumb in deciding on the best method. Reheat food in the same place where it was originally prepared. This generally works well, like reheating soup in a pot or roast chicken in the oven, because using the same method probably means that your food will heat up close to how it originally was. But there are times when you might only have an office microwave or you might not want to use the original cooking method for reheating, like deep-frying chicken again. So what do you do in these instances? Here are the three main appliances used to reheat food and some tips on the best foods to reheat in each! ("

Freezing does not reset this countdown, it only stops it temporarily. Thus, it is not a safe practice to thaw and refreeze food several times (especially if it's being brought above refrigerator temperatures). Cooking does reset the countdown, but unless you are in a completely sterile environment (hint: you aren't), you still have to keep food out of the danger zone after cooking, which is why guidelines say to refrigerate within 2 hours. Most people reheat their food to \"\"warm\"\" or even \"\"hot\"\" but not cooking temperature."

It begins in the autumn as the air turns cool and our bodies begin to crave hearty food to sustain us through the long dark winter. It’s perfect for winter, when a kitchen is an oasis of warmth and our bodies demand fresh healthy food. Give up? It’s roasting vegetables. You’ll never forget again, once you’ve tried roasting vegetables, whether root vegetables like beets, carrots, sweet potatoes and parsnips or others like zucchini, kohlrabi and this time of year, winter squash like butternut and acorn squash.

( e-mail address is on Growlies main page)How To Plan a Spaghetti Dinner Most spaghetti dinners are either used as a fund raiser or as very inexpensive 'everybody can afford to attend' type of get-to-gethers. First of all you need to decide how much people would be willing to pay and how much of that you can justify using as food costs. If you go really fancy, you could serve fresh pasta. I haven't done this but I've been told that pasta can be cooked ahead of time (day before), then cooled quickly in cold water, drained then toss lightly with cooking oil to keep it from sticking together, covered with plastic wrap or damp towels and stored in a fridge. ( overnight- in big buckets refrigerated) and reheated briefly (a few servings at a time) in boiling water, or just pour very hot water over pasta to re heat. So, if you have the time or access to the kitchen both the sauce and pasta canbe cooked ahead of time. Unless you have professional sized pots, it's easier to cook sauces in batches that would serve 25, just make lots of batches. If you are cooking pasta at the time of serving, it is very difficult to work with. The water takes a VERY long time to boil, and you can only cook 2 batches of pasta before the water gets too starchy and requires changing ... so the reheating is better."

So I love things I can make ahead, freeze and reheat. There are a few rules when freezing soups.1) Skip the pasta . If adding in pasta, leave it out until you serve it. Pasta tends to break up in the freezer. It will taste good, so if that is your only concern, then go ahead and leave it in.2) Leave out anything you want to add until the last 5 minutes, such as fresh herbs. They offer much more to the soup if added when reheating.3) Don't freeze potatoes in soup . Potatoes will fall apart when freezing and give you a chunky consistency. Actually, I do freeze potatoes and just use a stick blender on the soup when reheating.4) Under cook vegetables a little . They will cook more during reheating, so slightly undercooking them helps prevent mush.5) Cream soups will get very thick after freezing."

It requires safe storage to slow the growth of pathogens that lead to food borne illnesses. Not heeding the FDA recommendations results in a swift increase in pathogen growth, robbing the cooked lobster of freshness and rendering it unsafe to eat. On the Table Once cooked, lobster has a limited shelf life at room temperature. When your meal is over, it is best to place any leftover lobster in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Left out in temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or above, cooked lobster only remains fresh for two hours. If the temperatures spike to 90 F or higher, the cooked lobster only keeps for an hour before it needs to be tossed out."

Since then I visited and spoke with graduates of the pipeline at the Green Haven Correctional Facility in Stormville, New York. Since the early 1970s, the United States prison population has quadrupled to 2.2 million. It is the largest prison population in the world. According to the International Centre for Prison Studies, China is number two at 1.7 million people, Iran is number 8 at 217,000 people, and the United Kingdom is number 17 at 85,000. Fourteen million people are arrested every year and over two million are sent to jail. Approximately 65 million people in the United States, or more than twenty-five percent of the adults population, has a criminal record. The U. S. incarceration rate is five to ten times the size of other democratic countries. It is over 700 prisoners for every 100,000 people compared to 149 for England and Wales, 143 for Spain, 102 for France, 90 for Italy, 81 for Germany, and 57 for Sweden.

The FBI has been quiet, but now we have learned it’s for good reason! As sources inform Fox News’ Catherine Herridge (below), Hillary Clinton is about to be in serious trouble!As Rep. Mike Pompeo, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News:“I can assure you the intelligence committee is working on determining the scope of any breaches that may have resulted from the improper handling of classified information, and the damage assessments that go with them. I think we all understand that we had classified information in channels that weren’t secure on Secretary Clinton’s homebrew server and that risk was associated with that. ”Then, Herridge explains how her sources are focused on how “federal regulations require damage assessments after classified information is outside secure government channels, such as a personal server. ”Therefore, if Pompeo is correct, then the FBI is focused on determining internally what classified information was mishandled… Which it clearly was, as the documents included more than 22 emails that were “top secret and above.” Once that is investigation is complete, the FBI will have no other choice but to go after Hillary Clinton.

It helps states collect taxes to fund public goods. It allows producers to specialise and reap gains from trade. It is clear what it does, but its origins are a mystery. Some argue that money has its roots in the power of the state. Others claim the origin of money is a purely private matter: it would exist even if governments did not. This debate is long-running but it informs some of the most pressing monetary questions of today. Money fulfils three main functions. First, it must be a medium of exchange, easily traded for goods and services. Second, it must be a store of value, so that it can be saved and used for consumption in the future."

"text": "Sen. Marco Rubio is one of the biggest beneficiaries.by Michael Cohen April 28, 2015Michael Cohen is a freelance writer from Staten Island, N. Y. (Benjamin C. Tankersley/For The Washington Post)Several industries have become notorious for the millions they spend on influencing legislation and getting friendly candidates into office: Big Oil, Big Pharma and the gun lobby among them. But one has managed to quickly build influence with comparatively little scrutiny: Private prisons. The two largest for-profit prison companies in the United States – GEO and Corrections Corporation of America – and their associates have funneled more than $10 million to candidates since 1989 and have spent nearly $25 million on lobbying efforts. Meanwhile, these private companies have seen their revenue and market share soar. They now rake in a combined $3.3 billion in annual revenue and the private federal prison population more than doubled between 2000 and 2010, according to a report by the Justice Policy Institute. Private companies house nearly half of the nation’s immigrant detainees, compared to about 25 percent a decade ago, a Huffington Post report found. In total, there are now about 130 private prisons in the country with about 157,000 beds. Marco Rubio is one of the best examples of the private prison industry’s growing political influence, a connection that deserves far more attention now that he’s officially launched a presidential bid. The U. S. senator has a history of close ties to the nation’s second-largest for-profit prison company, GEO Group, stretching back to his days as speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. While Rubio was leading the House, GEO was awarded a state government contract for a $110 million prison soon after Rubio hired an economic consultant who had been a trustee for a GEO real estate trust."

In his inaugural speech in January, Arizona’s new Republican governor, Doug Ducey, struck a budget hawk’s tone while staring down a $1.5 billion budget shortfall. “ Fair warning: The budget will not meet with general approval among special interests.” he said. “ I can assure you that a more efficient government is not only necessary, but sensible.” But there was one special interest group that must have been pleased when Ducey rolled out his budget proposal: the private prison industry. Ducey’s austere budget plan slashed $384 million in state programs, including $75 million in funding for Arizona’s public universities. But it earmarked $5 million for a new, 3,000-bed private prison that even the state’s most notorious law enforcement official, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, argues is unnecessary. Last week, Arizona’s state corrections director, Charles Ryan, went to the state Legislature to pitch the plan, claiming the new prison would accommodate a projected increase in inmates."

Such contracts may be for the operation only of a facility, or for design, construction and operation. Private prisons are controversial.

"text": "July 18, 2011, 11:53 am While many park authorities have allowed private companies to operate gift shops or rental concessions within parks, private management of entire parks under concession agreement is relatively new but growing rapidly. As state and local governments come under increasing budget pressures, private management of public parks can be a useful tool for public authorities trying to keep parks open for the public. A great introduction to this model is here. Here is an example private park operator. Private recreation operators aren’t trying to take ownership of the land. They aren’t trying to pave the wilderness. They aren’t trying to build condos in front of Old Faithful. They are in fact willing to accept whatever recreation mission or preservation mission the public owner of the park sets and manage the park to that mission. What they bring to the table is that in many cases, private companies can operate the park and keep it open with the fees paid at the gate, without big price hikes and without the need for taxpayer subsidies.

"text": "\"9: The Prison Reform Movement Prison reform has had a long history in the United States, beginning with the construction of the nation's first prisons. From the time of the earliest prisons in the United States, reformers have struggled with the problem of how to punish criminals while also preserving their humanity; how to protect the public while also allowing prisoners to re-enter society after their sentences end; and how to satisfy crime victims' desire for justice and revenge while also giving convicts a second chance to live freely and abide by the law. Although experts have long agreed that many criminals should be punished by imprisonment, they have differing ideas about which crimes merit imprisonment, what length sentences should be, and how inmates should be treated. In American society, imprisonment is seen as serving multiple purposes. Primarily, incarceration is regarded as a punishment for criminal offenders, taking away their liberty and their ability to control their own lives. Such punishment gives crime victims, their families, and society a sense of retribution, or justice. A criminal must pay for the acts he or she has committed. That payment comes in the form of a loss of personal freedom. Locking up criminals also serves to protect the public. A burglar, rapist, or murderer can no longer harm society while serving time behind bars."

"text": "“Mass incarceration on a scale almost unexampled in human history is a fundamental fact of our country today — perhaps the fundamental fact, as slavery was the fundamental fact of 1850. In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the criminal-justice system — in prison, on probation, or on parole — than were in slavery then. Over all, there are now more people under ‘correctional supervision’ in America — more than six million — than were in the Gulag Archipelago under Stalin at its height.” — Adam Gopnik, “ The Caging of America “In an age when freedom is fast becoming the exception rather than the rule, imprisoning Americans in private prisons run by mega-corporations has turned into a cash cow for big business. At one time, the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society. Today, as states attempt to save money by outsourcing prisons to private corporations, the flawed yet retributive American “system of justice” is being replaced by an even more flawed and insidious form of mass punishment based upon profit and expediency. As author Adam Gopnik reports for the New Yorker: [A] growing number of American prisons are now contracted out as for-profit businesses to for-profit companies. The companies are paid by the state, and their profit depends on spending as little as possible on the prisoners and the prisons. It’s hard to imagine any greater disconnect between public good and private profit: the interest of private prisons lies not in the obvious social good of having the minimum necessary number of inmates but in having as many as possible, housed as cheaply as possible. Consider this: despite the fact that violent crime in America has been on the decline, the nation’s incarceration rate has tripled since 1980."

"text": "\"6 shocking revelations about how private prisons make money Private prison companies are striking deals that guarantee high prison occupancy rates April M. Short , Alternet09.23.2013 • 5:22 AMThis article originally appeared on Alternet. Imagine living in a country where prisons are private corporations that profit from keeping their beds stocked at, or near, capacity and the governing officials scramble to meet contractual “lockup quotas.” Imagine that taxpayers would have to pay for any empty beds should crime rates fall below that quota. Surprise! You already live there. A new report from In the Public Interest (ITPI) revealed last week that private prison companies are striking deals with states that contain clauses guaranteeing high prison occupancy rates. The report, \"\"Criminal: How Lockup Quotas and 'Low-Crime Taxes' Guarantee Profits for Private Prison Corporations,\"\" documents the contracts exchanged between private prison companies and state and local governments that either guarantee prison occupancy rates (essentially creating inmate lockup quotas) or force taxpayers to pay for empty beds if the prison population decreases due to lower crime rates or other factors (essentially creating low-crime taxes). Some of these contracts require 90 to 100 percent prison occupancy. In a letter to 48 state governors in 2012, the largest for-profit private prison company in the US, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), offered to buy up and operate public state prisons. In exchange, states would have to sign a 20-year contract guaranteeing a 90 percent occupancy rate throughout the term."

Levin • March 6, 2013Tweetvgm8383 / Flickr Since the 1980s, the United States has built prisons at a furious pace, and America now has the highest incarceration rate in the developed world. 716 out of every 100,000 Americans are behind bars. By comparison, in England and Wales, only 149 out of every 100,000 people are incarcerated. In Australia—famously founded as a prison colony—the number is 130. In Canada, the number is 114. Prisons, of course, are necessary. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne observed that “The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil… as the site of a prison.” As long as there are people, there will be conflict and crime, and there will be prisons.

"text": "The Math of Immigration Detention National Immigration Forum Staff Balanced Enforcement of Immigration Laws | Detention | Interior Enforcement Download PDFAugust 22, 2013Facebook Twitter Linked In Google+ Share Executive Summary One symptom of our broken immigration system is the exorbitant spending on detaining hundreds of thousands of immigrants annually. Physical detention, which is costly and severe, could be reduced by only holding immigrants whose release would pose a danger to the community. The government could employ less expensive alternatives for the majority of immigrants in detention. Billions of dollars could be saved if the government reduced its over reliance on detention and properly allocated resources towards more humane and cost-effective alternative methods of monitoring. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), located in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has begun prioritizing enforcement against repeat immigration violators and those with criminal records, rather than using limited resources to target immigrants with no criminal records, who pose no danger to the community, and are contributing to our economy. However, ICE’s use of discretion has been limited so far, and resources are still used to detain and deport aspiring citizens who pose no risk. Using prosecutorial discretion is an opportunity to reshape our vast immigration detention system, yet that opportunity continues to be squandered. Despite a more focused approach by DHS to immigration enforcement, the White House continues to request billions of dollars for the detention operations of ICE. For the Fiscal Year that begins October 1, 2013 (Fiscal year 2014), DHS and the White House requested $1.84 billion for DHS Custody Operations. This funding level would amount to over $5 million per day spent on immigration detention."

One role of military psychologists is to diagnose and treat—inspire hope and help—veterans that have dealt with wartime trauma. “You can be walking down the street on a rainy day and a smell can come into your nostrils and set you back 35 years to a place, a day and a time in your mind…and usually that day, something happened that affected you … You just survived a war, you should be happy…and then all of a sudden something goes wrong, but you don’t know what it is…And if you don’t address it, if you self medicate [with] alcohol, drugs…it blows up!” says Donald Joseph Prevost, referring to the PTSD and depression that he suffered after serving in the U.

Consider the following question from a reader:\"\" I love psychology, which is why I'm currently working on my bachelor's degree in psychology. I don't want to work in mental health, so my ultimate plan is to become a researcher. While I know that this means I will probably need to go to graduate school, I'm not quite sure exactly where to begin. What type of psychology degree do I need if I want to work in research? \"\" As a psychology student, you've probably already gotten a taste of just how diverse the field can be. This can be a great thing because it allows for so many different career paths and options, but it can also be confusing for students as they struggle to select an educational path. Just like many other areas of psychology, becoming a research psychologist is not a \"\"one size fits all\"\" career. There are actually many different degrees that you could potentially pursue."

"text": "\"When people are diagnosed with or die from cancer, there are facility records, regional records, and national records of those cancer patients. The medical professionals who maintain those records are called certified tumor registrars. These people review records of cancer patients, review medical reports, and code the diagnostic and treatment records of cancer patients. They also track the progress of cancer patients over time and note whether the patients live or die. To become a certified tumor registrar, you will need to acquire at least an associate's degree, undergo job-specific training, and be certified by a national testing board. In the past, on-the- job training was the only form of education for a person who wanted to become a certified tumor registrar. Subsequently, educational programs have been created to train registrars; these programs are accredited by the National Cancer Registrar 's Association (NCRA). The programs offer an associate's degree or certificate in cancer registry. If you want further training after the degree or certificate, you can pursue a bachelor's degree with a specialization in tumor registry. An alternative path would be to get a degree in medical coding and then get a certificate in cancer registry from an NCRA-accredited program."

None of us is perfect, and there is always room for improvement. Right? Well, researchers of moral psychology want to know not only the degree to which each of us is a good person but also how we generally become good people. Tonia Bock Consider for a moment two extreme historical examples: Martin Luther King Jr. and Adolph Hitler. The degree to which each was a good person is a rather stark contrast.

"text": "What is Social Psychology? Social psychologists are interested in how individuals impact and are impacted by other people, social settings, and social environments. Social psychology as a field of study is closely related to sociology. However, the focus of a social psychologist is on individual behavior, not that of the whole group as a sociologist would study. In that regard, social psychologists examine how individual actions, thoughts, and choices are influenced by the actions, thoughts, and choices of the larger society. As a result, much of social psychology revolves around the study of interpersonal and group dynamics. Social psychology also focuses much attention on researching and devising solutions to social challenges. Social psychologists might study the nature of bullying in public schools and devise programs to reduce or eliminate those negative behaviors. Social psychologists might also study prejudice and racism in an effort to devise public programs to bridge the gaps between different groups of people. Public health problems, such as smoking and drug addiction, are also of particular interest for social psychologists, who might create informational programs to inform the public about the dangers of engaging in drug use."

Forensic psychology often plays a role in punishing and preventing crimes. The word forensic is defined as \"\"the scientific method for investigation of crime\"\". Forensic psychology is often described as the merger of law and psychology. This field of psychology is often focused on the criminals themselves. Professionals in this field are often given the ominous responsibilities of trying to figure out why certain types of people commit crimes; what type of person committed a crime; and how to prevent people from committing crimes. Before 1940, psychologists weren't revered as expert witnesses in a courtroom and medical doctors were preferred."

Child psychology was mostly ignored until the early 20th century until Sigmund Freud began focussing on the importance of childhood events and how they affected adults. Even with Freud's work, most people still believed that children thought and acted the same way as adults. This concept was challenged by a researcher named Jean Piaget. Piaget proposed that children are not just small adults but actually think differently and process information in a different way than adults. Piaget proposed that all children go through different stages of development and within each stage there are specific skills and cognitive abilities that a child will develop. Now most people recognize that children have different cognitive abilities depending on their age and a child psychologist is interested in both researching how children develop as well as helping children deal with issues that affect them. A child psychologist will look at the change in cognitive, psychosocial and physical development overtime as well as how these affect a child's ability to cope with a variety of situations."

Some persons who study psychology end up practicing as counselors, some practice as psychotherapists, and some practice as psychologists. To make it even more complicated, some psychologists use techniques of psychotherapy and some use techniques of counseling. So let’s try to disentangle some of these elements. Introduction: General Psychology We humans are social creatures, and most of our behavior takes place in a social context. Accordingly, the science of Sociology studies our social—or collective—behavior. But each of us, as an individual, is motivated not just by social rituals but also by mind and free will. Therefore, if you want to focus on community social functioning as it is affected by medical care and mental health functioning, you would study the field of Social Work. Now, if you want to understand how the mind works biologically—that is, if you want to understand the mechanics, so to speak, of the nervous system—you would study the field of medicine called Neurology or the branch of psychology called Biological Psychology."

In addition to this fundamental role, counselling psychologists can be involved in a variety of tasks from risk assessment and psychometric testing through to audit and evaluation. They can also research and help formulate new explanations for psychological problems and are a key part of multidisciplinary team work in supervising and training other mental health professionals.

Trained in the principles of human behavior, criminal psychologists work closely with attorneys, the courts, law enforcement agencies, and various other stakeholders involved in civil and criminal cases. It is a relatively young field of work, gaining recognition from the American Psychological Association in 2001. However, psychologists have been serving as consultants to the courts for decades. Criminal psychologists can work in a number of capacities, including for the accused or for victims, during the trial phase as an expert witness, or they might work to rehabilitate offenders that have already been convicted of a crime. What Does a Criminal Psychologist Do? Criminal psychologists work in the field of forensics, applying psychological principles to the criminal justice system. Much of their time is spent conducting evaluations of the accused and alleged victims. For example, a criminal psychologist might evaluate a defendant to determine his or her competency to stand trial.

Some of these problems are caused by micro-organisms and some by genetic factors. During the last century, however, scientists and doctors are finding that some physical maladies may also be caused or worsened by mental, emotional, and social factors. Health psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on how mental, emotional, and social factors affect a person's physical well-being. This field, also sometimes referred to as medical psychology, also focuses on a patient's mental and emotional reaction to an illness or recovery from an illness. Medical doctors are the health professionals that typically treat a person with a physical malady. They may perform diagnostic tests, for instance, and administer medication to treat the symptoms of a disease or the disease itself. Professionals in the field of health psychology, on the other hand, are less interested in the actual illness, and more interested in the person suffering from the disease."

Americans suffer from many different kinds of depression, substance abuse, and other anxieties, phobias and mental health issues. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 25 percent of all U. S. adults have a mental illness in any given year, and 50 percent of us will develop one during our lifetime. Psychologists play a big role in helping people deal with these widespread problems. Psychologists are non-medical doctors (as in Ph D) who specialize in the study of the mind and human behavior. They help people overcome fears and anxiety, relate better to friends, family and colleagues, and generally lead better lives."

Reinstalling it to out of the box is only possible if you have a DELL computer according to very old usage by pressing CTRL-F12 during startup. But DELL's recovery from the last years is pretty bad. If you made a ghost image, you can restore that. If you made a Windows restore disk you probably find out it destroys your computer. Sollution: Dell supports your computer with the MS Windows install CD and a Resource Driver CD. Put the MS Windows CD in your drive and restart your computer. Press F12 during boot/restart and you get the boot menu. Start from CD/DVD. Press space when asked to start from CD."

Intel Pentium \"\"M\"\" processor running Win XP Pro. Note that Dell Quick Set or Win Power Meter is used to optimize performance by default. There are many variables that I will not mention in order to keep this post brief. It should be understood that the CPU can operate at high or low speed. In the case of the processor mentioned above, that would be 2000 megahertz (2GHz) for high speed and 800 megahertz for low speed. In the most general of terms, we look at operating under each of the following three conditions…On The Battery: While on the battery, the display screen dims, the NIC powers down and the CPU slows down to 800 MHz, all in an attempt to conserve battery power. On the 90 watt power adapter: Upon connecting the laptop to the 90 watt power adapter, the screen brightens, the network card turns on and the CPU goes to full speed (2GHz). The battery also goes into charge mode."

This 27-inch multi-touch screen offers FHD resolution and sleek design at a high price point. But does its performance stack up in our lab tests? With the launch of Windows 8 in 2012, Microsoft made touchscreen computing on the desktop mainstream. The Windows 8 interface attempted to bridge the gap between phones, tablets, and PCs by providing the same multi-touch experience first marketed by Apple in the original i Phone. While touchscreen monitors are nothing new, they never had a reason to become more prevalent until Windows 8 hit the streets. Before that, only specific commercial applications and interactive displays used the technology. While Microsoft’s shiny new OS doesn’t require a touchscreen, its default layout certainly begs for one. Most power users continue to eschew the Windows 8 UI in favor of a traditional desktop. But for the folks willing to give it a shot, multi-touch displays offer a new way to interact with your computer."

But after spending more than 35 hours testing 11 cheap gaming laptops in 2017, we found that the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7577) is the best one you can get for less than $1,000. It has far better graphics performance than anything else at this price, and it keeps its components and most-touched surfaces cool enough for long gaming sessions. Not sure what type of laptop you need? Check out “ What Laptop Should I Buy? ” Our pick Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming The best value The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 has by far the best price-to-performance ratio of any gaming laptop we tested in 2017 and no dealbreaking flaws. It's the only budget gaming laptop worth buying right now.$900 from Dell The Inspiron has a decent keyboard and trackpad and a great screen, and it’s the easiest to upgrade. But it has mediocre battery life—like most gaming laptops—and its fans get distractingly loud when gaming. We recommend the model with an Nvidia Ge Force GTX 1060 Max-Q graphics card with 6 GB of dedicated memory, an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB solid-state drive for around $950."

It is used mostly for people that can't use a keyboard or that by some chance can't use one. You can from that select Num Lock. Besides this, check this question, as it might give you a permanent solution. On Windows XP, you can access it through Start Menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Accessibility >> On-Screen Keyboard or through Windows Key + U ( source)On Windows Vista and apparently Windows 8, you can access it through Start >> Control Panel >> Ease of Access >> On-Screen Keyboard ( source ) ( Windows 8 source ). Otherwise, you can access it through the previous method, with the difference being that Accessibility = Ease of Access ( source)Both Windows XP and Windows Vista have the same virtual keyboard. The Num Lock is represented by the nlk button."

And if you didn’t fancy burning your own install disk, Canonical would send you one – for free. It was a wonderful time. Now, it’s less wonderful.

Can someone give anymore insight? I've bought them hay, but they dont seem to care for it. I tried it twice, in case the first was bad. I've also bought two diff kinds of \"\"sweet\"\" grains - they were from diff companies, but I thought it was the same...they'll eat it, but again, aren't CRAZY about it. The only thing they really like is the grain I feed my chickens! In fact, they use to love raisins, bread, and other treats, but now they won't even eat that, or rarely so. What's this about? Oh, I've also fed them the goat pellets, but they refuse to eat that too. I've also tried goat pellets that contained a dewormer?"

"text": "'I Can't Get Over How Bad It Was': A Lisa Vanderpump Restaurant Crawl Kara Brown3/09/15 1:20pm Filed to: Lisa Vanderpump 707 173It is with both pride and slight dejection that I admit to having watched every single episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I’m not going to explain myself. Just know that it’s a fact. Beverly Hills is arguably the crown jewel of Bravo’s most successful franchise. It doesn’t have the highest ratings—that honor goes to Atlanta—but it best encapsulates the themes of the Real Housewives brand: abject wealth and “real” drama. As is the case with with every series in the franchise, Beverly Hills is an ensemble, but anyone who watches knows that the closest thing the show has to a star is Lisa Vanderpump. In many ways, Lisa Vanderpump is the perfect Real Housewife. For starters, she’s actually married. Equally important, she’s very, very wealthy. Lisa always manages to be very much involved in the drama, but somehow floats just slightly above the fray, in a cloud of pink silk and diamonds."

This easy homemade recipe is healthy, low in calories and much better than takeout. What is Kung Pao Chicken? Kung Pao Chicken recipe originated from the Sichuan province in China. In Chinese it’s called 宫保鸡丁and some restaurants spell it as Gong Bao or Kung Po Chicken. It is a spicy chicken dish with a mouthwatering Kung Pao Sauce. In the United States, it is a popular dish at Chinese takeout or restaurants. Is Kung Pao Chicken Authentic? Authentic Kung Pao Chicken calls for Sichuan peppercorn for the numbing flavor and loads of dried red chilies for the “mala” (spicy and numbing) flavors. The Americanized version we get here is not really authentic, but still delicious."

No one had told me that Thai cooks like their food to excite every area of your mouth, and so mix sweet, salty, sour, and spicy hot, together in every meal. The tom yam goong soup was the best example of this, leaving my poor tongue stunned for the rest of the night. Now that I know what to expect, it’s one of my favorite foods, both for the food itself, and the dining experience as a whole, and I’m clearly not alone; Thai restaurants are spreading fast across America. Tell us about your first time eating Thai ►FIRST IMPRESSIONSAt many restaurants, like the very popular, top-rated Kittichai in New York City, from the moment you enter, you’ll feel a warm welcome in serene surroundings, often decorated with pink and white orchids or Buddhist images. At many Thai restaurants, your hostess might say, “Sawadee ka!” meaning, “Hello!” as you walk in the door. She may even be wearing traditional dress, and might do the wai, a kind of traditional physical greeting, with hands pressed together and to the chest. A smile and “Hello!”"

"text": "\"News A drop in temperature can change the sex of chickens Wednesday 10 September 1997 23:02 BSTClick to follow The Independent Online A brief, chilly spell can change the sex of chickens in the egg, the festival learnt yesterday. The finding, which has been patented, could eventually lead to big changes in the poultry industry, writes Nicholas Schoon. If the temperature is dropped by a few degrees for three days during the embryological development of a freshly laid egg, some chickens which should hatch out male instead become female. They have the genes and chromosomes for maleness but they are fully functional females able to lay fertile eggs. If they are then crossed with normal males, the resulting chicks are all male, said Professor Mark Ferguson of the University of Manchester. This is what interests the poultry industry. All the female chicks which hatch from the breeding stock which provides the broiler chickens we eat are destroyed after hatching. Only the males put on enough meat, at sufficient speed, to make them economically viable. So there could be large savings if the breeding stock could be made to produce only males. The chilling technique only changes the sex of 10 per cent of males into females, although if these birds are then crossed with normal males an all-male brood results."

Share this: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email My favorite breeds of chickens are Jersey Giant and Buff Orphington. I like big chickens and I can-not lie. But like many of you out there, we don’t just keep two breeds of chicken. We have a variety.

Trying to get to the bottom of this Chinese food mystery sends our writer on a wild goose chase In some parts of the country, this is what duck sauce looks like. In others, not so much. ( Flickr user plastik klinik)By Laura Kinirysmithsonian.com February 5, 2015If you’re from the Midwest or Eastern seaboard of the United States, duck sauce is likely an orange jelly-like substance—similar to sweet-and-sour sauce but with a fruitier flavor—that comes in packets with your Chinese takeout. It’s typically used for dipping crispy noodles, egg rolls, and other fried foods. For most New Englanders, duck sauce is a brownish, sweet and chunky sauce served on the table in Chinese restaurants. And if you’re from someplace like San Diego or a San Francisco Bay Area native, chances are you’ve never even heard the name. The argument over what constitutes duck sauce runs deep. On their website Grammarphobia.com, authors Patricia T. O’Connor and Stewart Kellerman debunk myths and uncover truths on English grammar, etymology, and usage. They believe the use of the name ‘duck sauce’ for those packets of orange-colored jelly is an American brainchild, along with the sauce itself."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology How long does it take a maggot to turn into a fly? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A lot of it depends on the temperature and the food supply available. Typically, a fly life cycle goes like this: 8-20 hours after the eggs are laid, they hatch into maggots. Four to ten days later, the maggots turn into pupae. Three to six days after that, the pupae start to emerge as adult flies, which will live for about 15-20 days. So from maggot to pupa to fly, maybe seven to sixteen days, depending on the conditions.starlightfading · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Does Maggots Turn Into Flies Source (s):https://owly.im/a8v LRpalmerii · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Check out the site below Source (s):http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products...lostinlove · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

"text": "Spontaneous Generation Background Procedure Background — Spontaneous Generation Today, we take many things in science for granted. Many experiments have been performed and much knowledge has been accumulated that people didn’t always know. For centuries, people based their beliefs on their interpretations of what they saw going on in the world around them without testing their ideas to determine the validity of these theories — in other words, they didn’t use the scientific method to arrive at answers to their questions. Rather, their conclusions were based on untested observations. Among these ideas, for centuries, since at least the time of Aristotle (4th Century BC), people (including scientists) believed that simple living organisms could come into being by spontaneous generation. This was the idea that non-living objects can give rise to living organisms . It was common “knowledge” that simple organisms like worms, beetles, frogs, amd salamanders could come from dust, mud, etc., and food left out, quickly “swarmed” with life. For example: Observation: Every year in the spring, the Nile River flooded areas of Egypt along the river, leaving behind nutrient-rich mud that enabled the people to grow that year’s crop of food. However, along with the muddy soil, large numbers of frogs appeared that weren’t around in drier times."

"text": "\"How Do Flies Turn into Maggots? By Laura Agadoni The metamorphosis of the fly is an interesting one; the fly undergoes many changes before it ends up being a fly, which is the last stage of its development. Therefore, flies do not turn into maggots, which is the second stage of a fly's development. At some point, however, and if all goes well, maggots turn into flies. The Emergence of Maggots Flies begin as eggs, which look like grains of rice. The eggs hatch between 8 and 20 hours after an adult fly lays them. What emerge from the eggs are larvae, also called maggots. Maggots can be half an inch long, are off-white and resemble worms. A maggot's head is the thin side. A visible mouth with a hook is found there."

Maggots are the larvae of flies and feed voraciously off of dead, stinky, and decomposing material. An infestation of maggots on an animal is called a fly strike, or fly blown. The medical term for the animal infestation is myiasis. Flies are most common in the warmer months. They can smell death and search out rotting flesh as a place to lay eggs. Within the day, the eggs develop into larvae that look like little white grub worms that need to feed. Maggots as a Nuisance Flies, including mosquitoes, are known to spread diseases, food poisoning, and dysentery. House flies, blow flies, and fruit flies, are also called “filth flies” because they feed off of garbage, dead meat or rotting food, and blood. If you have a pet that is recovering from a wound, and the pet is outdoors in one of the warmer months, it is not uncommon to see a swarm of flies circling the wound."

"text": "Jason Li, Studies insects Answered Aug 9, 2016 · Author has 549 answers and 266.9k answer views Matan Shelomi pretty much covered it. There are many different types of flies, and so they have very diverse diets. Most flies drink flower nectar as their primary food source, or they might just eat any liquids with nutritional value. An interesting habit of some flies is to place their saliva on dry food like crackers, then drink the saliva, which has some of the crackers stuff inside. In fact, this is the reason flies are known as food-poisoners. Mosquitoes are famous for feeding on blood, although male mosquitoes keep to nectar. Even females typically eat nectar, and only suck blood to nourish themselves with protein when they are pregnant. Robber flies are very large and are predatory flies; they catch other insects in midair and devour them. Maggots are larvae (NOT nymphs, because flies have complete metamorphosis), and most of the feeding is usually done in this stage because they have a much longer time in this stage, and must eat a lot so they can enter pupae and emerge as adults, the same as butterflies. Maggots are infamous for being found eating your fruits."

LEVY FEB. 12, 2009THE Georgia peanut company at the center of one of our nation’s worst food-contamination scares has officially reached a revolting new low: a recent inspection by the Food and Drug Administration discovered that the salmonella-tainted plant was also home to mold and roaches. You may be grossed out, but insects and mold in our food are not new. The F. D. A. actually condones a certain percentage of “natural contaminants” in our food supply — meaning, among other things, bugs, mold, rodent hairs and maggots. In its (falsely) reassuringly subtitled booklet “The Food Defect Action Levels: Levels of Natural or Unavoidable Defects in Foods That Present No Health Hazards for Humans,” the F. D. A.’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition establishes acceptable levels of such “defects” for a range of foods products, from allspice to peanut butter. Among the booklet’s list of allowable defects are “insect filth,” “rodent filth” (both hair and excreta pellets), “mold,” “insects,” “mammalian excreta,” “rot,” “insects and larvae” (which is to say, maggots), “insects and mites,” “insects and insect eggs,” “drosophila fly,” “sand and grit,” “parasites,” “mildew” and “foreign matter” (which includes “objectionable” items like “sticks, stones, burlap bagging, cigarette butts, etc.”). Tomato juice, for example, may average “10 or more fly eggs per 100 grams [the equivalent of a small juice glass] or five or more fly eggs and one or more maggots.” Tomato paste and other pizza sauces are allowed a denser infestation — 30 or more fly eggs per 100 grams or 15 or more fly eggs and one or more maggots per 100 grams. Canned mushrooms may have “over 20 or more maggots of any size per 100 grams of drained mushrooms and proportionate liquid” or “five or more maggots two millimeters or longer per 100 grams of drained mushrooms and proportionate liquid” or an “average of 75 mites” before provoking action by the F. D. A. Jason Logan The sauerkraut on your hot dog may average up to 50 thrips. And when washing down those tiny, slender, winged bugs with a sip of beer, you might consider that just 10 grams of hops could have as many as 2,500 plant lice."

Catherine Stewart, 28, from Liverpool, visited The Gambia to better understand how the charity she worked for in the UK was helping the West African country's inhabitants. When she returned to the UK and discovered several bites on her body she wasn't worried - but as one turned yellow she thought she should investigate it further. Squeezing the lesion revealed she was infested with the larvae of the tumbu fly which gorge on human flesh. ' There were just a few red circles that looked like bites [when I was in The Gambia], but when I got home I found more,' she said. ' When I found a yellow one on my stomach I just thought it was just a small infected bite with pus and thought squeezing it might help,''But as I squeezed I felt something pull back [into the skin]. I immediately thought there was something wrong. ' Catherine immediately called her husband Paul and asked him to help. ' I called for him to grab some tweezers and then asked him if he could pull out whatever it was that was moving under my skin if I squeezed.' Paul then pulled out a large maggot.

They are often used to create hedges and privacy screens around yards, but they are also planted individually. As with all shrubs, boxwoods require more water when they are first planted. The reason is that the root system has not grown deep enough to seek out water. If adequate water is not supplied to the new shrubs, they will begin to deteriorate. Water the new boxwood shrubs immediately after planting to a 6- to 8-inch depth, or the same depth as the root system of the shrub. Turn on a garden hose at a slow trickle, and lay the end 6 inches from the base of the shrub. Leave the hose there for at least 10 minutes. Check the moisture level by digging into the soil next to one of the shrubs to ensure it is moist at a level of 6 to 8 inches."

"text": "\"Destinations Africa & Middle East How to Avoid Putzi Fly Infection When Traveling in Africa By Jessica Macdonald Updated 05/16/17Share Pin Email•••Also known as the mango fly, the tumbu fly or the skin maggot fly, the putzi fly ( Cordylobia anthropophaga) is a blow-fly species native to East and Central Africa. Like many other blow-fly species, putzi fly larvae are parasitic. This means that they burrow beneath the skin of a host animal, where they feed on subcutaneous tissue until they are ready to emerge several days later. Often, these hosts are human, causing a condition known as cutaneous myiasis. In this article, we explore the symptoms of putzi fly infection, as well as the easiest ways to avoid it. The Putzi Fly Life-Cycle The putzi fly's scientific name, anthrophaga, translates roughly from the Greek for \"\"human eater\"\" - an accurate moniker considering its flesh-eating tendencies. Typically, the putzi fly female lays her eggs in soil contaminated with human or animal faeces. The larvae hatch after a brief incubation period of up to three days, after which they can survive for around two weeks before finding a suitable host. Once a host (usually a large mammal) has been found, the larvae penetrate the skin, then spend 8 - 12 days feeding before emerging as fully developed maggots ready to pupate into adult flies. How Putzi Flies Affect Humans In areas of human habitation, people serve as the ideal host for putzi fly larvae."

In fact, these larvae play a role in breaking down and recycling nutrients back into the soil. These maggots may actually be the larvae of \"\"compost-dwelling soldier flies,\"\" according to Cindy Wise, compost specialist volunteer coordinator with the Lane County office of the Oregon State University Extension Service. This European insect (scientific name Hermetia illucens) seems to be found everywhere in North America where people reside. They are especially common where flies can get to a wet, rotting food source, garbage or other unsanitary conditions. In the \"\"old\"\" days, these large flies and their larvae were found commonly in slum, emergency hospital, army triage and unchanged diaper conditions.

The life cycle of a fly The fly life cycle has four stages. These stages move from eggs to larvae and pupae to adult. House flies have an incredible ability to reproduce, however, the fly lifespan is typically short. The life cycle of a fly begins with the egg. The female house fly can lay anywhere from 75 to 150 eggs in a batch. She can lay an estimated five or six batches of eggs during her lifetime, starting on average, about 12 days after reaching full maturity. Eggs take eight to 20 hours to hatch and reach the first of three larval stages. During this part of the fly life cycle, larvae are also referred to as maggots."

On hatching, first-instar larvae are roughly 2 mm long, growing to about 5 mm before shedding their skin. The second instar larvae grow to around 10 mm before they shed their skins to become third-instar larvae. Third-instar larvae grow to between 15 mm and 20 mm before wandering off as pre-pupae.

How Long Does It Take for a Body to Decompose at Sea? The duration it takes for a dead body to decompose depends on various factors, any of which may affect the necessary time it takes to break the body down. But surely, if the body is exposed to the elements, the decaying process will be very fast. The most important thing to remember in decomposition is the exposure of the dead body to bacteria. In order to survive, bacteria need oxygen and are found in large concentrations in water. Therefore, if a dead body is exposed to water or air, then it will dramatically decompose. Insects and animals will feed on tissues if a dead body is exposed to them, and this also quickens the decomposing process.

UP until the tim of Newton and beyond, most philosophers and scientists thought that light consisted of particles. What fact was the particle theory supported by? The particle theory was supported by the fact that light seemed to move in straight lines (more than one) instead of spreading out as waves do. Describe the photoelectric effect In 1905, Einstein published a theory explaining the photoelectric effect. This theory says that light consists of particles- massless bundles of electromagnetic energy- later called photons What is the modern view on light? The modern view on light is that light has dual nature: part wave, part particle Describe Olaus Roemer's experiment Olaus Roemer was the first to try to measure the speed of light in 1675.

But, I'll object your statement \"\"if some thing happens in universe,immideatly telescopes finding it\"\". No!!! Any happening in the universe will be propagated with the speed of light. For e.g. If in our solar system, we know that light takes around 8 min to reach from sun to earth. so imagine a condition If somehow you take off sun from solar system, it will take 8 mins to let you know that sun has disappeared even though you are looking at sun (through a proper filter) continuously. Astronomical objects are so distant that whatever object you see today, light has emerged from those objects 100's of years back... Its not possible to communicate any incident faster than the speed of light. This was highlighted in Special theory of relativity by Einstein. Now if your question is how to measure a distance between object just by looking at a light coming from it, it may done by looking at half-life time of photons.

Photograph: Nasa/Rex/Shutterstock The universe is expanding faster than anyone had previously measured or calculated from theory. This is a discovery that could test part of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, a pillar of cosmology that has withstood challenges for a century. Nasa and the European Space Agency jointly announced the universe is expanding 5% to 9% faster than predicted, a finding they reached after using the Hubble space telescope to measure the distance to stars in 19 galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The rate of expansion did not match predictions based on measurements of radiation left over from the Big Bang that gave rise to the known universe 13.8bn years ago. Milky weigh: our galaxy has the mass of 700bn suns, say scientists Read more Physicist and lead author Adam Riess said: “You start at two ends, and you expect to meet in the middle if all of your drawings are right and your measurements are right. “But now the ends are not quite meeting in the middle and we want to know why. ”The researchers arrived at a new expansion rate of 73.2 kilometres per second per megaparsec. A megaparsec is 3.26 million light years. The consequence of this adjustment in difficult-to-imagine speeds over unthinkable distances is that the distance between cosmic objects will double in another 9.8 billion years."

He and an assistant each had lamps which could be covered and uncovered at will. Galileo would uncover his lamp, and as soon as his assistant saw the light he would uncover his. By measuring the elapsed time until Galileo saw his assistant's light and knowing how far apart the lamps were, Galileo reasoned he should be able to determine the speed of the light.

And when he measured their relative distances, it was discovered that the redshift of distant galaxies increased with distance. The only explanation for this observation is that the universe was expanding. This came to be known as the Hubble parameter. The best measurements for this parameter resulted in a value of about 68 km/s per megaparsec. ( One megaparsec is equivalent to 3.26 million light-years. ) Since this discovery in 1929, scientists have been trying to measure the universe's expansion rate - the Hubble Constant - more accurately. By 2012, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope had made the most accurate measurement ever made and it was 74.3 +/- 2.1 kilometers per second per megaparsec. But again, the latest report says that the universe is expanding 5 to 9 percent faster than astronomers had earlier thought."

Mining activities require the clearing of large areas of land. The chemicals used in the mining process often escape into the environment causing large-scale pollution. In fact, mining is the source of all the substances that cannot be obtained by industrial processes or through agriculture. Mining reaps huge profits for the companies that own them and provides employment to a large number of people. It is also a huge source of revenue for the government. Despite its economic importance, the effects of mining on the environment is a pressing issue. Effects of Mining on the Environment Mining requires large areas of forest area to be cleared so that the land could be dug into by the miners. For this reason, large-scale deforestation is required to be carried out in the areas where mining has to be done."

Over the last few decades, surplus human activities have severely affected the marine life on the Earth’s oceans. Ocean pollution, also known as marine pollution, is the spreading of harmful substances such as oil, plastic, industrial and agricultural waste and chemical particles into the ocean. Since oceans provide home to wide variety of marine animals and plants, it is responsibility of every citizen to play his or her part in making these oceans clean so that marine species can thrive for long period of time. Mining for materials such as copper and gold is a major source of contamination in the ocean. For example, copper is a major source of pollutant in the ocean and can interfere with the life cycles of numerous marine organisms and life. The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. ~ Robert Swan According to National Geographic,“ Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines. Nitrogen-rich fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams, rivers, and groundwater and are eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas."

"text": "\"Home »Energy How Can Solar Panels Help Protect the Environment? By Justin King; Updated April 25, 2017An estimated 39% of all energy consumption in the U. S. comes from the production of electricity to power homes and businesses. A great deal of this energy consumption pollutes our air and water, and it creates hazardous wastes that require disposal. Solar panels help eliminate this pollution by capturing the energy of the sun and using that energy to power common household devices such as lights and heaters. Understanding the effects of traditional energy sources like coal and oil helps people understand the ways that solar panels help to protect the environment. Reducing Air Pollution Traditional sources of electricity, such as coal and oil, emit byproducts such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxides, particulate dust and mercury. Each of these byproducts is associated with known environmental challenges, including global climate change, acid rains, smog and contaminated fisheries, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Solar panels can reduce this pollution by lowering the energy needs of every dwelling they power. Even if solar panels are only used to power household lighting, if applied across a number of homes, solar panels could lead to a significant decrease in the emission of dangerous byproducts. Reducing Water Pollution Coal and nuclear power sources also create environmental challenges along waterways."

Bauxite contains, in addition to alumina, silica, iron oxide and titanic dioxide. The Bayer process is used to extract alumina from the bauxite: Alumina is separated from the bauxite by using a hot solution of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) and lime (calcium oxide). The mixture is pumped into high-pressure containers and heated. The caustic soda dissolves the alumina, which precipitates from the saturated solution. The alumina is then washed and heated to drive off water. The precipitate is filtered and washed to remove and recover the caustic solution. Everything else is filtered away, and the alumina is dried to a white powder. Most alumina refineries are located close to the bauxite mine, or at the nearest harbor, where the alumina can be easily shipped to aluminium production plants."

Back to Q&A List Mining and agriculture are directly linked through agriculture’s dependence on mined inputs, land and water resources, and workers. They are also indirectly linked where mining firms have improved infrastructure in a way that supports agricultural development. The outcomes of this interaction appear mixed. There is evidence that agriculture is growing in some areas as a result of mining and declining in others, depending on local circumstances. Agriculture & Mined Minerals Modern agriculture depends upon mined products used in crop fertilizers and animal feed supplements. Plants rely on three essential nutrients: nitrogen; potassium, and phosphorus. [ 1] While nitrogen is renewable and can be captured from the air, potassium and phosphorus are mined and applied through fertilizer where they are not present in adequate quantities in the soil. [ 1-3] Canada is the world’s largest producer of potash, a generic term for mined minerals and chemicals containing potassium. [ 1] Phosphorus is also mined and is used not only in fertilizer, but also as a supplement in animal feed. ["

Mountaintop removal site Mountaintop removal site in Pike County, Kentucky Mountaintop removal mining ( MTR ), also known as mountaintop mining ( MTM ), is a form of surface mining at the summit or summit ridge of a mountain. Coal seams are extracted from a mountain by removing the land, or overburden, above the seams. This method of coal mining is conducted in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. Explosives are used to remove up to 400 vertical feet (120 m) of mountain to expose underlying coal seams. Excess rock and soil is dumped into nearby valleys, in what are called \"\"holler fills\"\" or \"\"valley fills\"\". [ 1] [2] [3] Less expensive to execute and requiring fewer employees, mountaintop removal mining began in Appalachia in the 1970s as an extension of conventional strip mining techniques. It is primarily occurring in Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. The practice of mountaintop removal mining has been controversial."

Through the process of biomagnification, mercury levels in each successive predatory stage increase. Fish and shellfish concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organic compound of mercury. Fish products have been shown to contain varying amounts of heavy metals, particularly mercury and fat-soluble pollutants from water pollution. Species of fish that are long-lived and high on the food chain, such as marlin, tuna, shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish (Gulf of Mexico) contain higher concentrations of mercury than others. [ 1]Mercury is known to bioaccumulate in humans, so bioaccumulation in seafood carries over into human populations, where it can result in mercury poisoning. Mercury is dangerous to both natural ecosystems and humans because it is a metal known to be highly toxic, especially due to its ability to damage the central nervous system. [ 2] In human-controlled ecosystems of fish, usually done for market production of wanted seafood species, mercury clearly rises through the food chain via fish consuming small plankton, as well as through non-food sources such as underwater sediment.

This very first technology and its impact on natural environment brought greenhouse gas emissions which accumulated through more than a million years of widespread use of fire. Technology Developments in Man's History The word \"\"technology\"\" is a broad term and does not simply refer to high-tech inventions or computerization, which is actually the misconception. Technology comprises the crafting of materials and transforming them into implements that allow man to control or manipulate natural resources in order to meet his needs. Technology dates as far back as the Stone Age, when man discovered how to make fire, 1.4 million years ago. In fact, no one could have thought back then that fire, including its wood burning technology could create an impact on today’s natural environment through its greenhouse gas emissions. The cavemen learned how to make fire that provided them heat, light and protection against the wild animals that attacked them. They needed something to illuminate the darkness and to provide warmth when the great big ball of fire started to disappear from the sky. The cavemen’s first technological tools were stone axes and spears which were used as protection and hunting implements. Henceforth, succeeding steps were taken to improve what was initially invented."

S., is relatively inexpensive, and is an excellent source of energy and byproduct raw materials. Because of these factors, domestic coal is the primary source of fuel for electric power plants in the U. S., and will continue to be well into the 21st century. In addition, other U. S. industries continue to use coal for fuel and coke production and there is a large overseas market for highquality American coal. Because humans have used coal for centuries, much is known about it. The usefulness of coal as a heat source and the myriad of byproducts that can be produced from coal are well understood. The continued and increasingly large-scale use of coal in the United States and in many other industrialized and developing nations has resulted in known and anticipated hazards to environmental quality and human health. As a result, there is still much to be learned about the harmful attributes of coal and how they may be removed, modified, or avoided to make coal use less harmful to humans and nature. These issues of coal quality have not been examined carefully until recently. Some of the problems that accompany the mining and use of coal are well known. Acid mine drainage results when coal beds and surrounding strata containing medium to high amounts of sulfur, in the form of compounds known as sulfides, are disrupted by mining, thereby exposing the sulfides to air and water."

The following answer if from Ask.com - What's Your Question? FULL ANSWEREarthquakes can cause trees to fall, cliffs to crumble and caves to collapse, which can have trickle-down effects throughout the ecosystem. Usually, earthquakes change habitats in subtle ways. For example, if an earthquake’s epicenter is near a forest, it may knock trees down. When this happens, it allows sunlight to penetrate the canopy, which allows the growth of different types of plants. These new plants support a new population of animals. Sometimes, earthquakes can create new habitats, ecosystems and ultimately species. For instance, if a portion of the coastline breaks away from the mainland during an earthquake, it will take all of the plants and animals along with it. Over time, the habitat will change in subtle ways, which will necessitate adaptation by the flora and fauna."

A: Quick Answer Air pollution is a problem because it can cause damage to animals, trees, plants, crops and water sources in the environment. Pollution in the air causes problems for aviation because it reduces visibility, while also being responsible for damaging buildings and other structures. Pollutants in the air can end up in natural water supplies that humans use for drinking, which can result in water that is toxic and unhealthy for humans to consume.

Release Date: September 14, 2016Mercury contamination is widespread, at various levels across western North America in air, soil, sediment, plants, fish and wildlife. An international team of scientists led by the U. S. Geological Survey, recently documented widespread mercury contamination in air, soil, sediment, plants, fish, and wildlife at various levels across western North America. They evaluated potential risk from mercury to human, fish, and wildlife health, and examined resource management activities that influence this risk. Wetland habitats, such as the Great Salt Lake wetlands, provide critical feeding areas for many fish and wildlife species. Collin Eagles-Smith, USGSPublic domain“Mercury is widespread in the environment, and under certain conditions poses a substantial threat to environmental health and natural resource conservation,” said Collin Eagles-Smith, USGS ecologist and team lead. “ We gathered decades of mercury data and research from across the West to examine patterns of mercury and methylmercury in numerous components of the western landscape. This effort takes an integrated look at where mercury occurs in western North America, how it moves through the environment, and the processes that influence its movement and transfer to aquatic food chains. ”More than 80 percent of fish consumption advisories posted in the United States and Canada are wholly or partially because of mercury. Fish consumption provides many health benefits to people, but the presence of mercury at high concentrations in fish can reduce some of those benefits."

Although its potential for toxicity in highly contaminated areas such as Minamata Bay, Japan, in the 1950's and 1960's, is well documented, research has shown that mercury can be a threat to the health of people and wildlife in many environments that are not obviously polluted. The risk is determined by the likelihood of exposure, the form of mercury present (some forms are more toxic than others), and the geochemical and ecological factors that influence how mercury moves and changes form in the environment. Eating contaminated fish and wildlife exposes people and fish-eating wildlife to the most toxic form of mercury, methylmercury. Toxic Effects The toxic effects of mercury depend on its chemical form and the route of exposure. Methylmercury [CH 3 Hg] is the most toxic form. It affects the immune system, alters genetic and enzyme systems, and damages the nervous system, including coordination and the senses of touch, taste, and sight. Methylmercury is particularly damaging to developing embryos, which are five to ten times more sensitive than adults. Exposure to methylmercury is usually by ingestion, and it is absorbed more readily and excreted more slowly than other forms of mercury. Elemental mercury, Hg (0), the form released from broken thermometers, causes tremors, gingivitis, and excitability when vapors are inhaled over a long period of time."

"text": "Ozone Depletion In the previous sections, we have seen that everything the Bible describes as being a characteristic of the Great Tribulation also correlates precisely to what is now expected to occur as a result of a global nuclear war. Even with this incredible correlation of prophecy with the known effects of nuclear weapons, there is one particular verse that on the surface may seem to contradict the verses that describe a period of darkness descending upon the Earth at that time (see Radioactive Fallout and Clouds of Dust ). As a result of recent scientific research, however, this apparent inconsistency can now be fully understood. In Revelation chapter 16, the Apostle John prophesies about the events that will accompany the out-pouring of the seven Bowls of Wrath, which are predicted to occur just prior to the Return of Christ. Many of these predictions accurately describe a number of thermonuclear effects such as radiation sickness and darkness. However, in almost the same breath that the Lord shows John a vision of darkness he also says this:“And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory. ”Rev. 16:8-9How is it that the Bible in one place can describe the sun as scorching men with great heat and in almost the same breath predict thick clouds of darkness obscuring its light? Since the sun is on average about 90 million miles away from the Earth and the total quantity of heat reaching us is relatively constant at that distance, it seems unlikely that the Lord is saying that our planet will somehow move closer to the sun or that the sun will grow considerably hotter."

We noted in particular how changes in intensity (caused by the fixed tilt of the Earth) are responsible for the seasons. In this lab, we are interested in solar radiation again, but move the scene of our story a few miles upwards from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere above it. And it turns out that a funny thing happens to that radiation as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere: Some of it does not make it as it is absorbed by certain gases found in differing amounts in the various layers which comprise the Earth’s atmosphere. This lab will focus on one of those layers – the stratosphere – and one particular gas which has its greatest abundance in this layer – ozone – because of the importance of the type of radiation that is absorbed by the ozone in the stratosphere to the health of each and everyone one of us. ”At the end of this lab, you should be able to answer the following research questions: What is the relationship between solar radiation and stratospheric ozone? How and why has stratospheric ozone changed over time? How and why are concentrations of stratospheric ozone expected to change in the future?__________________________________________________________________________________________Entering with the right mindset Throughout this lab you will be asked to answer some questions.

As a terrestrial planet, Earth is located within the Inner Solar System between between Venus and Mars (which are also terrestrial planets). This place Earth in a prime location with regards to our Sun’s Habitable Zone. Earth has a number of nicknames, including the Blue Planet, Gaia, Terra, and “the world” – which reflects its centrality to the creation stories of every single human culture that has ever existed. But the most remarkable thing about our planet is its diversity. Not only are there an endless array of plants, animals, avians, insects and mammals, but they exist in every terrestrial environment. So how exactly did Earth come to be the fertile, life-giving place we all know and love? Size, Mass, and Orbit: With a mean radius of 6371 km and a mass of 5.97×10 24 kg, Earth is the fifth largest and fifth most-massive planet in the Solar System.

But for a healthy crop, you need to make some decisions upfront for best results. Along with proper irrigation, pruning and pest control, you need to consider spacing so you can ensure proper pollination. Apple Pollination Apple (Malus) trees are picky about their pollination. Most varieties cannot pollinate themselves. They need another tree -- of another variety -- and they both must bloom at the same time. Do your research before making selections. That’s important for the bees, wasps and other pollinators to be able to move the pollen from a bloom on one tree to the flower on another."

"text": "\"Related Articles How to Prune an Espaliered Apple Tree Distance Between Rows of Espalier Apple Trees Apples That Grow on a Fence How to Espalier Cherry Trees Espalier is a method of growing fruit trees against a wall or fence so that the tree produces the same amount of fruit as it normally would without taking up as much space. The practice is used for this practical purpose as well as for decoration. The simplest type of espalier frame is the horizontal cordon, which consists of vertical upright posts that support horizontal wires. When espaliering apple trees, dwarf varieties work best. The “Macintosh” cultivar and its many derivatives are an excellent choice for espalier because these trees naturally grow many horizontal branches and are easy to train. Consider the \"\"Golden Delicious” when space is limited, however, since it is one of the few self-pollinating apple varieties. Whatever variety you choose, be aware that espaliered trees require a lot of pruning and even need pruning in the summer months when it is typically forbidden.1Choose an espalier location against a south-, west- or east-facing wall or fence that receives six to eight hours of sunlight a day.2Build or purchase the support system you will use for your tree and mount it to the wall, leaving at least 6 inches of space between wall and plant to avoid damage. You can also mount wires directly to stone walls, fences, or other structures not likely to be damaged by the growing tree.3Plant a bare root whip apple tree in the middle of the espalier trellis during the winter dormant season. The tree should be located directly in front of a vertical espalier frame support. When planting more than one tree, space them 6 to 8 feet apart."

Someone wanted permission to dig up a sprout from it to start her own tree. I’ve often wondered if she found one and, if so, what the results were. Beginning growers are sometimes puzzled about how fruit trees get their start. Some plant seeds fom their favorite apples, expecting they will grow into trees that will bear fruit exactly like the original apples. Others, like the woman in the ad, believe they can dig up the suckers that grow around the trunks of larger trees in the orchard, and eventually these will grow into trees that produce the same kind of fruit. Both are likely to be disappointed. Over the centuries fruit trees, like humans, have accumulated a great many ancestors, all of whom have influenced their genes. An apple seed can take on any combination of all their good and bad characteristics."

First, be really careful because there's a lot more bad than good information out there. Nurseries sell fruit trees only as a sideline to their main landscaping business and are usually locked into buying from one or two fruit tree suppliers. County extension agents are government bureaucrats with no skin in the game. UC Davis has lots of publications and web pages full of just plain wrong information.

The tags usually say to plant these trees at least 25 feet apart, often 50 feet apart. Since the trees I'm planting are small (i.e., white oak: 2.5-3 ft; maples: 6-8 ft; tulip tree: 4-5 feet; bald cypresses: 5 to 8 feet), these trees are nearly lost in the 4-5 acre field between the house and road. ( I tied lightweight orange ribbon around the small ones so I wouldn't accidently cut them down when mowing the field)Last week, I went to the Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond with a camera and notebook. The first thing I noticed was a group of tall deodara cedars planted on a berm - 10-12 ft apart. A group of 4 dawn redwoods was 6 feet apart. At the entrance to the main building are two groves of dawn redwoods - 9-12 feet apart. In addition to taking notes and photos, I ended up measuring distances between trees. In every single case, trees were planted much closer than than recommended. * Dawn redwoods: 6 feet apart in one place, 9-12 feet apart in another* Chinese Elms: 8 feet apart* Gingkos: 12-15 feet apart* Bald and pond cypresses: 6-8 ft apart, sometimes a little less or more I finally stopped measuring because the trees were always planted closer than recommended."

The first is a heading cut. This type of cut involves shortening a limb or shoot by removing a portion off the end. Heading cuts remove the terminal buds that normally inhibit shoot development from buds below the terminal or end of the shoot. A heading cut results in several shoots developing just below the location of the cut. The number of shoots that develop and the vigor of the growth will depend on the severity of the heading cut.

From a historical perspective, a high density orchard is defined as any orchard with more than 150-180 trees per acre. However, many highly productive commercial orchards today have 150-180 trees per acre and higher density could be anything over 180 trees per acre. For the purposes of this publication, there are several characteristics in addition to tree number that are included in a high density orchard system. Besides having an increased number of trees per acre, a high density orchard must come into bearing within 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this early production, it is essential to use a precocious dwarfing rootstock. Although it is possible to restrict the growth of trees on semi-dwarf rootstocks, they do not have the genetic capacity for early bearing. Consistent early fruit production is essential to offset the increased establishment costs. It is also very costly to hold trees on more vigorous rootstocks in an allotted space required for a high density orchard. To maximize the production of a high density orchard, it is also necessary to modify the training system and training and pruning techniques from traditional methods."

"text": "\"Home »Trees How to Grow Dwarf Apple Trees By Darcy Logan Dwarf apple trees are a great way to grow apples in a small space. However, size is not the only advantage they offer gardeners. Dwarf apple trees are also easier to prune, spray and harvest. They also bear fruit easier--in just 3 or 4 years as opposed to 7 or 8 years for standard apple trees. Dwarf apple trees are not grown from seeds but are created by grafting a regular apple tree onto the rootstock of a dwarf tree, which is why all dwarf trees produce standard size apples. The grafted tree is then grown in a nursery for at least a year until it is large enough to be sold. Decide if you want a dwarf tree or a semi-dwarf. Semi-dwarf trees grow about 15 to 20 feet tall but are more vigorous and hardier than dwarf trees. They will produce about five bushels of apple a year. Dwarf trees will grow about 10 or 12 feet tall and produce about two bushels of apples each year."

A common misconception is that pruning is like hair cutting...you control the size and shape of a plant by pruning it. Because there is a small grain of truth to this misconception, people believe it \"\"hook-line-and sinker.\"\" It is actually far more interesting than hair cutting!When we cut a stem of a plant, for example to take a cutting, or to trim the plant, we alter the physiology of that plant. By removing a stem tip from the plant, we induce branching by releasing apical dominance . So pruning is not about what is removed, but what happens to what is left on the plant. Thus proper pruning is designed to provide proper branching on the plant...not to control its size or shape. Of course if branching is optimal, then the size and shape of the shrub will be improved and that is the grain of truth. But again, I want to emphasize that pruning determines where branching will occur rather than controlling size or shape."

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."

Conventional methods include shooting rabbits and destroying their warrens, but these had only limited success. In 1907, a rabbit-proof fence was built in Western Australia in an unsuccessful attempt to contain the rabbits.

The type of rabbit found in Maryland is the eastern cottontail. They are very adaptable creatures and live not only in rural settings, but also in suburbs and even cities. Unfortunately the habitats of many of their natural predators such as foxes and hawks are quickly disappearing with continued urban and suburban growth. Rabbits like to live in bushy fence rows or on the edge of fields. With their gnawing, rabbits can damage flowers, trees, shrubs and of course vegetables. In the vegetable garden rabbits prefer peas, beans and beets. In general they will not eat corn, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers or potatoes. Though I have had a rabbit \"\"taste\"\" a newly planted tomato plant, biting the stem in two then deciding it was not to his liking and leaving the stem on the ground."

Guarding against this is not always easy but there are both actions and precautions that you can take. Many of these steps will also keep out other snakes, although be aware that some snakes are good to keep around if you don't mind them, as they deter rattlesnakes. Steps1 Add a low level rattlesnake proof fence around the backyard. While this is not a cheap option, it does work and can reassure you that a particular zone of your home is safe from rattlesnakes. In fact, you don't need to even wall off the whole backyard - you can select an area for the children to play in, for pets to frolic in and for entertainment purposes and only fence off that part. This becomes the \"\"safety zone\"\". Just make sure these specifications are followed in order for the fence to be effective: Use mesh that is not wider than a quarter of an inch in diameter or use solid material. Any untextured material is best because snakes cannot climb smooth surfaces as they cannot get a grip. Make the fence to a minimum height of three feet."

It’s such a pleasure to watch them hop about without a care in the world. However, the problem with rabbits is that they can ruin your garden and yard. They will eat your vegetables, seeds, flowers, grass and more. Not repelling them soon could leave you feeling as if you’re wasting time trying to maintain your lawn and garden. Garlic and Chili Powder ½ cup of garlic powder and ½ cup of Cheyenne pepper can be mixed together with 2 cups of water to create a rabbit deterrent. After mixing thoroughly, the repellant should be allowed to sit outside for at least 2 days before using. After it has had time to sit, you can add just a few drops of dish soap and swirl it in as well. This mixture should be sprayed on your garden and plants that the rabbits might find delicious."

Others will keep their bunnies locked up at night when they are asleep to keep them from getting into unsupervised mischief. I agree that for most rabbits, these are not bad ideas or practices, but it leads to an often asked question, “How much time each day does my rabbit really need out of his enclosure to run and play?”The number of hours of “run time”, as we call it, varies dramatically from expert to expert, if they are asked. Some rabbit lovers say that they need three or four hours a day out of their containment, others say one or two. I know from experience working in shelters and with other rabbits that in practice, this time usually isn’t even a full hour. Due to the lack of volunteers and the number of rabbits in the shelters, most shelter bunnies are lucky to get out of their cages once a day, much less for hours at a time. When I go in to volunteer at the shelter I work at, I make sure that every single rabbit gets out for a while. How long? Never for more than an hour, in order to get them all out that day."

One of the greatest tragedies of the rabbit keeping pet craze is the way that rabbits who were designed by nature to roam free over wide tracts of land end up barely being able to hop a few feet in either direction their entire lives. Though most people wouldn't consider keeping a cat or dog in a cage, the sight of a rabbit in a cage barely raises en eyebrow, even though it really should. Rabbits are just as smart as the average cat and can even be litter trained. So how does one go about getting one's rabbit out of their cage and letting them live a full and happy, active life? Well, there are several ways to go about this, all of these methods come with their own drawbacks, risks and rewards. Rabbits are becoming very popular house pets, and it is possible to have them loose indoors as long as you a) bunny proof the room (s) they're allowed in, and b) make sure you get them litter trained before you give them the run of the place. Once a bunny decides where it is going to poop, it is quite difficult to convince them that they're wrong. There are a plethora of resources on keeping a rabbit inside, and I've listed some of them at the bottom of this article. Though hardcore house bunny keepers will tell you that you're mad and cruel for keeping a rabbit outdoors, there are many advantages to keeping your bunny outdoors. For one, your house won't smell like rabbit ass."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: They don't need much, one acre can support up to 13 miniature goats so even one fourth of an acre or even less would be plenty for 2. Still, fencing for pygmy goats is not cheap. You need woven wire goat fencing with very small squares and at least 4 and a half feet tall. Posts need to be placed fairly close together so you need a lot of them. You also have to make sure that the fence goes all the way to the ground in all places or they will push under it. Tent stakes can help hold it down. Finally all gaps on the gates, and where the gates are attached to the fence, must be covered with the mesh or they will climb through."

Rabbits were intentionally restricted - the fatter the rabbit, the bigger the meal. Also the word 'hutch' comes from the French word 'huche', meaning, a chest on four legs.

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.

"text": "LAST UPDATED October 30, 2017 by Fawne Hansen7 Tips To Help You Quit Coffee There are many addictions that affect people around the world; some are serious such as alcohol and cigarettes, others less so like shopping or chocolate. Today, one of the most widely held addictions is to coffee. But what many regular coffee-drinkers don’t realize is that drinking large amounts of caffeine can seriously impact your endocrine system, and actually leave you with LESS energy, not more. The problem with caffeine is simple to understand. The energy that we get from a cup of coffee tends to be short-lived, and is often followed by a crash that leaves us needing another cup. With time, we need to consume more and more caffeine to get the same buzzy, awake feeling that we crave. You’re probably asking, what could be wrong with a little coffee every now and then? The problem is that this constant stimulation is a stress on the endocrine system. Each dose of caffeine prompts your adrenals to release the stress hormones cortisol and epinephrine, just the same kind of response that a stressful situation might trigger. Increase the amount and frequency of your dose, and your adrenals will eventually become unable to respond."

"text": "\"Science Caffeine Safe Limits: Calculate Your Safe Daily Dose Your Weight Pounds Kilos A safe caffeine limit is the amount of caffeine a person can consume without experiencing any negative caffeine overdose symptoms. It’s difficult to assign an exact amount for everyone because people can have different sensitivities or reactions to caffeine based on age, medical history, and tolerance. However, there is enough research available to make a recommendation based on an individual’s weight. Caffeine Amounts for Healthy Adults For healthy adults with no medical issues, it is generally agreed upon that 300mg-400mg of caffeine can be consumed daily without any adverse effects.¹ The research behind this number actually bases this on a person’s bodyweight. So if you weigh more than the average human, you can safely consume a little more but if you weigh less than the average human you should consume a little less. Our safe dose calculator above reflects this. This is equivalent to about:5.2 Shots of espresso Two 5 Hour Energy Shots1 Starbucks Venti brewed coffee2.5 16 fl.oz. Monster Energy Drinks5 8 fl.oz. Red Bulls11.7 12 fl.oz. Cokes A large review by European Food Safety Authority concluded that a daily safe dose of 400mg is safe for adult s and single doses of 200mg at one time are fine for those engaging in exercise directly after the dose."

And its bad that your iron is so low because from what ive read and experienced, the iron in your blood helps to clot your blood should you recieve a cut or internal bleeding, and with having such low iron, yoru blood wont bleed or clot properly, leaving you in a dangerous position should you bleed externally or internally. and actually, since you dont have a menstrual cycle yoru iron should be up- your iron is in your blood as you know, as losing blood in your period causes your iron to drop, the heavier the cycle, the lower iron usually gets. hope this helps and TAKE YOUR PILLS! ! deleted_user 04/27/2010I was diagnosed with anemia two years ago and my feratin iron level was a 9. I was also given the iron pills and they brought my iron level back up to a 40-50 range, which is normal. Anything 14 and lower is dangerous and at 9, I was at a very dangerous level, so I'm guessing a 7 is worse, lol."

A lot of us going through high-conflict divorces, child custody battles, divorce-induced bankruptcy, mental illnesses (depression, panic attacks, etc. ), job troubles, and other life problems have such symptoms. The ongoing economic crisis may be compounding such troubles, or enough to stress you out on its own. Rather than resorting to the typical psychiatric medicines like anti-depressants and anxiolytics, consider drinking tea or taking L-theanine, a natural substance extracted from tea that may help reduce anxiety and depression. If you go to a psychiatrist or even a general practitioner and describe such symptoms, they are likely to whip out the prescription pad and write you up a prescription for one or more common psychiatric medications. Standard and widely prescribed psychiatric medicines include SSRIs ( Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa, etc.) for depression and benzodiazepines ( Xanax, Clonazepam, Diazepam, Temazepam, etc.)"

A very common factor is that of peer pressure: young people don’t like to be different from their friends and want to be part of the group. If that group enjoys drinking or taking drugs then it can very difficult to resist especially if not doing so means that they are excluded from the group. Experimentation is another reason. Many young people like to dabble in new and sometimes risky activities and drugs/alcohol/smoking are part of that. It is often done out of a sense of curiosity but it is easy to become hooked. Sometimes, teenagers try illicit substances as an act of rebellion or to defy their parents or teachers."

Posted by wittmc By now most folks who have visited my site have realized that I had a huge addiction to Diet Coke and struggled with quitting for so long, but could never do it because the withdrawal symptoms were just too much to take and I always ended up drinking it again. The sad part to my story is, every time I tried to quit and couldn’t do it, the more addicted I became. If you haven’t read my whole story, stop and read through the pages on the left side navigation bar and then come back to this post and I will share more information about the addiction to aspartame and the withdrawal symptoms that most experience when they try to quit. If you read my entire story then you know that I am going to start with the punch line first in this post. When I finally quit drinking Diet Coke almost 4 weeks ago, I experienced NO WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS at all!! The catch is, this time was different from all the other times that I tried to quit and experienced a ton of withdrawal symptoms that always brought me back to drinking it. The first time I tried to quit drinking Diet Coke, was about two years ago. At that time, my side effects were just starting to arise. For the first time ever, I experienced a migraine."

"text": "Home Info Center General Caffeine withdrawal remedy Post a commentover a year ago Caffeine Withdrawal Remedy Caffeine is a subtle, but strong substance that can become addictive if taken in high amounts. Regular coffee drinkers should be aware of how much coffee, chocolate or other caffeine containing products they consume every day to avoid becoming addicted. Those who are addicted do not realise this until they go without caffeine for a day or so and start to feel the symptoms of withdrawal. Most addicts will only really notice the problem when they are prevented from consuming caffeine for a long time, such as during pregnancy. There are a few tell-tale signs of caffeine withdrawal, although they can be confused with other conditions, so it is important to look at these signs within the context of how much caffeine the person is actually consuming. Migraine-like headaches are the most common symptom of caffeine withdrawal. These can be treated with simple headache medication available at pharmacies. However, some of these medications contain caffeine and must be avoided in this case. As with other addictions, caffeine withdrawal will most likely lead to an inability to concentrate or think in the normal way. During regular consumption, the brain gets used to working on stimulants like caffeine and will not function correctly if the substance is suddenly absent."

"text": "\"This are my thoughts on the likely implications of a large proportion of the population consuming mu opioid receptor (MOR) antagonists continually, every day, typically for decades. The first likely outcome is that the body would up-regulate the production of endogenous opioids in the bloodstream and/or the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Whatever the complex mechanisms are behind these background levels, flooding the body with any level of opioid receptor antagonists would make all the MORs more difficult to activate. This includes the MORs which (I assume) are located on the cells which produce the background levels of endogenous opioids. These are \"\"autoreceptors\"\" which provide local negative feedback to regulate the cells' endogenous opioid production; likewise the autoreceptors of the neurons which produce short-term, more localized, outputs of endogenous opioids. Endogenous opioids are used in the body both for long-range communication, where the compounds move large distances from the site of release to the receptors, and for more synapse-like communication, where they are released very close to the receptors. These systems don't have a clear-cut distinction, since any kind of release of these compounds may cause a general increase in the background levels, and so affect opioid receptors elsewhere in the body. I would expect the reduced activation of these autoreceptors to result in an increased output of endogenous opioids, until the levels of endogenous opioids became high enough to largely overcome the antagonism due to the coffee compounds. Likewise, I would expect the neurons which produce endogenous opioids in a more localized and shorter-term fashion also to produce greater quantities. If everything were fairly simple, the body would largely adapt to the continual presence of these MOR antagonists."

Butler County is the largest county in the state of Kansas; the county includes 35 whole townships and 7 partial townships. Butler County is located in south-central Kansas and is almost wholly contained within the Flint Hills physiographic province. Geological mapping of Butler County was done on 7 1/2-minute quadrangle topographic base maps at a scale of 1:24,000. Butler County is covered by 16 whole quadrangles and 20 partial quadrangles (Fig. 1). Geologic mapping was done primarily through field observation and interpretation of aerial photographs. The Soil survey of Butler County, Kansas (Penner et al. 1975) was consulted as well as existing geologic maps (Jewett 1964, Kellogg 1978)."

A. Reeds (1911), consists of alternating blue resembles the Henryhouse shale of Silurian age, but Ireland (1936, p. 1098) was able to distinguish the Haragan by the absence of foraminifera of the type common in the Henryhouse. He concluded for this reason that the Haragan is absent in northern Oklahoma. The Haragan is of Lower Devonian (Helderbergian) age. It has been correlated by Ireland (1936, p. 1095) and others with the Bailey limestone of southeastern Missouri (also of Helderbergian age). The Bois d'Arc limestone, the youngest Devonian in southern Oklahoma, is described by Ireland as a white dense cherty limestone with insoluble residues of white dense chert and small amounts of sand grains. The beveled edge of the Bois d'Arc is overlain in most wells in northern Oklahoma by Mississippian rocks, and it is even more restricted in its subsurface distribution than the Haragan shale. The Bois d'Arc is of Lower Devonian (Oriskany and Becraft?) age, and is a partial equivalent of the Little Saline limestone of southeastern Missouri."

This technology was used in historic times to manufacture gun flints and in prehistoric times to make spear and dart points, arrow heads, knives, scrapers, blades, gravers, perforators, and many other tools. Flintknapping requires the ability to control the way rocks break when they are struck. The best rock is somewhat brittle and uniform in texture and structure, lacking frost fractures, inclusions, or otherflaws. This type of rock is very fine grained or non-grained. The best rocks for flint-knapping are chert, flint, chalcedony, quartzite, jasper, and obsidian. Chert and flint are silica-rich rocks found throughout the Midwest in limestone and dolomite deposits. These rock types, when struck with another rock, piece of antler, or bone, will fracture or break in a characteristic pattern called a conchoidal fracture. This creates a rock fragment called a flake . Flakes have specific features identifying them as the result of human hands rather than natural processes."

They largely consist of two types of rocks. Limestones which are composed mostly of calcite (Ca CO 3) or high Mg calcite [ (Ca,Mg)CO 3 ], and Dolostones which are composed mostly of dolomite [Ca Mg (CO 3) 2]Because carbonate minerals in general are soluble in slightly acidic waters, they often have high porosity and permeability, making them ideal reservoirs for petroleum. For this reason they are well studied. Limestone can be easily recognized in hand specimen or outcrop because of its high solubility in HCl. A drop of such acid placed on the rock will cause it to fizz due to the generation of CO 2 gas. A dolostone, on the other hand, will not fizz until a fine powder is made from the rock or mineral. Also, dolostones tend to weather to a brownish color rock, whereas limestones tend to weather to a white or gray colored rock. The brown color of dolostones is due to the fact that Fe occurs in small amounts replacing some of the Mg in dolomite."

Chert is a microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline sedimentary rock material composed of silicon dioxide (Si O 2 ). It occurs as nodules, concretionary masses, and as layered deposits. Chert breaks with a conchoidal fracture, often producing very sharp edges. Early people took advantage of how chert breaks and used it to fashion cutting tools and weapons. The name \"\" flint \"\" is also used for this material."

Biochemical chert is formed when the siliceous skeletons of marine plankton are dissolved during diagenesis, with silica being precipitated from the resulting solution. Replacement chert forms when other material is replaced by silica, e.g. petrified wood forms when silica rich fluids percolate through dead wood and the silica precipitates to replace the wood. Chert can also form through direct precipitation from silica rich fluids, e.g. agate is formed by the precipitation of silica in voids within a rock. Chert has the general physical properties of quartz.chert Other specimens - Click the thumbnails to enlarge Texture - non-clastic .

The most familiar silica mineral is quartz in microscopic or even invisible crystals—that is, microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz. Learn more about how it is made and find out what it is made of. Chert Ingredients Like other sedimentary rocks, chert starts with particles accumulating. In this case, it happened in bodies of water. The particles are the skeletons (called tests) of plankton, microscopic creatures that spend their lives floating in the water column. Plankton secrete their tests using one of two substances that are dissolved in water: calcium carbonate or silica. When the organisms die, their tests sink to the bottom and accumulate in a growing blanket of microscopic sediment called ooze. Ooze is usually a mixture of plankton tests and extremely fine-grained clay minerals."

Siliceous oozes consist predominantly of the remains of microscopic sea creatures, mostly those of diatoms and radiolarians. Sometimes siliceous oozes also contain silicoflagellates and the spicules of sponges. Diatoms are golden-brown algae that construct an opaline silica microscopic shell that is known as a \"\" frustule \"\". Silicoflagellates are a minor group of marine algae that construct microscopic shells composed of opaline silica. Radiolarians are marine protists that also construct microscopic shells composed of opaline silica and are distant relatives of the foraminifera. [ 1]Siliceous ooze accumulates on the ocean floor where the bottom waters are close to saturation with respect to silica, and the opaline remains of either diatoms, radiolarians, silicoflagellates, and sponge spicules, or combinations of these are rapidly buried. These conditions exist within areas of high biological productivity associated with volcanic islands and nutrient-rich upwelling zones. As the least common type of pelagic sediment, it covers only 15% of the ocean floor. It accumulates at a slower rate than calcareous ooze: 0.2–1 cm / 1000 yr. ["

Photo courtesy Lanzi via Wikimedia Commons Alabaster is a common name, not a geological name, for massive gypsum rock. It is a translucent stone, usually white, that is used for sculpture and interior decorations. It consists of the mineral gypsum with a very fine grain, massive habit, and even coloring. Alabaster is also used to refer to a similar type of marble, but a better name for that is onyx marble...or just marble. Onyx is a much harder stone composed of chalcedony with straight bands of color instead of the curved forms typical of agate. So if true onyx is a banded chalcedony, a marble with the same appearance should be called banded marble instead of onyx marble; and certainly not alabaster because it is not banded at all. There is some confusion because the ancients used gypsum rock, processed gypsum and marble for the same purposes under the name alabaster.02of 25Arkose Pictures of Sedimentary Rock Types.

In order for gems to survive, they must be durable (meaning with \"\"good tenacity\"\"). Durable gems resist the wear-and-tear of the erosion transport process and are concentrated with the denser sedimentary particles. Much of our gold, diamonds, and other precious substances are mined from sedimentary deposits, mostly ancient alluvial deposits. Whether or not sediments or sedimentary rocks contains gems or precious metals depends on the source regions where the sediments originally were eroded. Sedimentary processes can refine sediments and concentrate gems—as illustrated by \"\"peridote\"\" (olivine crystals) on Hawaii's Green Sand Beach ( Figure 8-1 ). How rock fragments are sorted by size and density is important in relation to gem and precious metals found in sediments or sedimentary rocks. Would a gold pebble (nugget) of ½ inch in diameter be deposited in a quartz pebble conglomerate with ½ inch pebbles? No. The size of the gold particle would likely be smaller to be deposited with the quartz because gold has a density of 19.3 gm/ml while quartz has a density of about 2.65 gm/ml."

Rock types are specific assemblages of minerals (most rocks are composed of minerals). Rocks are much more vaguely defined than minerals. Even rocks within one rock type may have a highly variable composition. Some important igneous rocks from left to right: gabbro, andesite, pegmatite, basalt, pumice, porphyry, obsidian, granite, and tuff. Still, there is a fundamentally sound reason to talk about such a vague concept as a rock type because these assemblages occur again and again in many different locations. Rock type is like a biome (desert, savannah, rain forest). One particular desert may greatly differ from another (one is sandy and another rocky), but they both share something that is common (low precipitation). Exactly the same is true with rock types — one granite may be white and another red, but they both have a similar composition (major minerals are feldspar and quartz). Here is a list of major rock types recognized by geologists."

Oard A radiolarian fossil from chert. The more I learn about geology, the more often I find that present processes do not account for the sedimentary rocks laid down in the past. The concept that only processes observed today should be used to explain the history of the rocks is the geological doctrine of uniformitarianism. This is often summarised by the slogan: ‘The present is the key to the past’. It is upon this doctrine, rigidly held, that practically all geological data has been interpreted. As if by a single pen stroke, this doctrine eliminates from consideration the very possibility of the global Flood recorded in the Bible. It is true that in recent years the doctrine has been modified to allow an occasional catastrophe, such as the Lake Missoula flood 1 and an asteroid impact that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs. 2 But basically the doctrine continues to undergird mainstream geological thought. Ancient and modern sandstones At the same time, research on the rocks reveals that uniformitarianism is a poor organising principle and often invalid. For instance, sandstones, which make up approximately 20% of the sedimentary rocks on the Earth, are consistently different from modern sand deposits."

Seek advice from your doctor if it has not resumed by 6 months post delivery. Breastfeeding women may not resume their period until after they stop breastfeeding.

For some women who have nursed regularly for a long period of time, this process takes weeks or even months. For other women who have nursed only sporadically, it takes only a few days. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Demand and Supply Breast milk is created on the basis of demand and supply. The more frequently you nurse your baby, the more milk your body produces. This process works in reverse as well: The less frequently you nurse your baby, the less milk your body produces. If you stop nursing at a time when your body is used to producing copious amounts of milk on a routine basis, such as with a young baby who nurses eight to 12 times a day or a baby going through a growth spurt, it takes your body a longer period of time to decrease and ultimately stop producing milk. If you stop nursing at a time when your body isn't producing a lot of breast milk, such as with an older infant or toddler, your body adjusts more quickly. The ultimate time line depends on your body; there is no one-size-fits-all time line for letting your milk dry up.

For centuries, humans have relied upon their imagination in order to avoid pregnancy. With no method of birth control during sexual intercourse, a woman of childbearing age with normal fertility has an 85% chance of conceiving within 1 year. Behavioral forms of birth control do not employ hormones (e.g. oral contraceptives or mechanical devices such as condoms ). They are in use throughout the world, especially in underdeveloped nations. They often have high failure rates, indicating that they do not work effectively, and the chances of an unwanted pregnancy are increased. Continuous Abstinence Abstinence refers to complete avoidance of sexual intercourse. There are no hormonal side effects, and it is endorsed by many religious groups. This method is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and it also avoids sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs ).

"text": "Kittens Gestation Period for Cats• by David • 5,778 Views Republish Reprint Gestation is just a fancy word for the period of pregnancy in cats. If you are a cat owner who has recently discovered that your cat is pregnant, you need to get a clear understanding of the gestation period for cats. This is a sensitive and stressful time for your cat – since she lives with you rather than in the wild, you will play a significant role in this pregnancy. A healthy queen (mother cat) can have up to ten or more kittens at a time, but it is more likely that she will have about five at a time. Some female cats will become pregnant several times in their lifetimes. It is estimated that baby kittens from birth to age one have a mortality rate of between 10 to 34% — lower for non-pedigreed cats and higher for feral or wild cats (Source: “Kitten Deaths,” Dr. Danielle Gunn-Moore from the University of Edinburgh). But as long as you take good care of the mother and the new kittens you can drastically reduce or eliminate your chance of serious problems with the litter. How Do You Know Your Cat is Pregnant? If your female cat is usually in heat for an extended period of time (usually about two weeks), but goes out of heat suddenly in the middle of mating season, there is a possibility that she is pregnant. Pregnancy is the only thing that can stop a female cat’s strange “in heat” behaviors."

"text": "\"share this Birth control and infertility: Does using birth control hurt my chances of getting pregnant later? News flash: Birth control = rubber, STIs = glue.by Tina Raine-Bennett, MD, MPHupdated 02/21/2017Women under 30 years old are incredibly fertile—their ability to get pregnant is at its peak. In the U. S., about three in four sexually active women under 30 are using some type of birth control. But many of them ask me, does using birth control now hurt my chances of getting pregnant in the future? Sigh of relief: it does not. All reversible birth control methods will help prevent pregnancy while you’re using them, but none have long-lasting effects on your ability to get pregnant when you stop. That’s why people who use the pill but accidentally forget to take it for a few days can get pregnant that month. Let’s look, for example, at how long it takes for women to get pregnant when they quit the pill compared to when they quit non-hormonal fertility awareness methods (FAM, sometimes called natural family planning). A big study of over 2,000 women who quit the pill after using it for an average of seven years found that 21% were pregnant in one month and 79% were pregnant in a year. Women who stopped using FAM had very similar rates of pregnancy, with 20-25% pregnant in one month and 80% pregnant in a year."

Then you should still use a condom just incase even after that month due to the fact that birth control pills could fail, or you miss or take them late, this just give you better protection if you continue to use both.... Reply Icebreaker4325 over a year ago Actually, you only need to use birth control for one full week for it to be effective. IF you start the pill on the sunday after your period starts, it is effective immediately. You only need to be on it for one full week to be protected against pregnancy, this will be on your pill pack info leaflet =)Reply Guest over a year agoyou only need to be on birth control for 7 days and it will be effective - and you'll be protected. You'll be most protected after the first month though. It's a myth about having to wait 1 month until you can have unprotected sex. They just suggest that you wait that long to be careful. but if you take your pill the sunday after you got your period, your safe. : -)Reply Guest over a year ago ACTUALLY, if you read the pamphlet in your bc pack if you are a first day starter (start your first pack within the first 24 hrs of your period) you don't not need to use any other means of protection."

Flag How long does it take for a cow or heifer to give birth? Answer by Karin L. Confidence votes 95.0KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. It depends on the age of that cow or heifer, what position the calf is in when it enters the birth canal, and what size the calf is. Some may even say that it also depends on the sex of the calf as well. It should only take a few hours or more for the calf to start to emerge during the early stages of labour, being presentation of the water sac and the calf's front hooves. Once the water sac emerges, it usually takes from a half hour to an hour for the calf to be expelled. Most cows that have had experience will only take 10 to 30 minutes to \"\"spit\"\" the calf out. Cows that have been bred to a bull that does not have the genetics for easy calving tend take longer due to the fact that they have a bigger calf to push out."

"text": "How Long After Your Period Can You Get Pregnant? By Vilma Ruddock M. D. Source It is possible to get pregnant soon after your period ends depending on how long your bleeding lasts, and when in your menstrual cycle you ovulate. If your periods are long, by the time it ends you may have few or no days left before your fertile days begin if you ovulate during the average days 12 to 14 of your cycle. Bear this in mind if you have unprotected intercourse right after you stop bleeding. If your periods are short, you have more days to go before you get to your fertile days and ovulation. The Fertile Days in the Menstrual Cycle The days of fertility in a menstrual cycle are fairly fixed and depend on when you ovulate rather than on whether your period has ended. The most likely day to get pregnant (fertilize an egg) is on the estimated day of ovulation. However, according to an important study reported in 1995 in the New England Journal of Medicine, you have five other fertile days before ovulation when you can get pregnant, making it a total of six fertile days in a menstrual cycle. What the Additional Five Days Mean The additional five fertile days mean that if you have intercourse during the five days before ovulation and sperm survives, you can still get pregnant, even if you don't have intercourse on the day of ovulation. This is because the sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for an average of three to five days and wait for the egg, according to Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility."

"text": "\"share this Pregnancy 101The birds and the bees…without all the corny euphemisms.by Merrie Warden, MD, MPHupdated 03/09/2017Pregnancy is what happens when a guy’s sperm meets up with a woman’s egg and the fertilized egg sticks to the lining of the woman’s uterus. So any type of sex where semen gets inside the vagina could result in a pregnancy—even if a guy’s penis is near but not inside the woman’s vagina when he ejaculates. It doesn’t matter what position you’re in—reverse cowgirl, missionary, standing, whatever. Sperm + egg + sticking to the uterus = pregnancy. But just how likely is a woman to get pregnant from unprotected sex? It depends on where she is in her cycle. Can I really get pregnant during my period? The short answer is YES! If you have regular periods, you are much less likely to get pregnant while on your period than at other times in your cycle—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. How do I know it’s not impossible?"

First stage: Early labor First stage: Active labor Transition Second stage: Pushing Third stage: Delivering the placenta What happens after you give birth En español Reviewed by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board Last updated: July 2015What are the stages of labor and birth? The process of labor and birth is divided into three stages: The first stage begins when you start having contractions that cause progressive changes in your cervix and ends when your cervix is fully dilated. This stage is divided into two phases: Early labor: Your cervix gradually effaces (thins out) and dilates (opens). Active labor: Your cervix begins to dilate more rapidly, and contractions are longer, stronger, and closer together. People often refer to the last part of active labor as transition. The second stage of labor begins when you're fully dilated and ends with the birth of your baby. This is sometimes referred to as the \"\"pushing\"\" stage. The third stage begins right after the birth of your baby and ends with the delivery of the placenta. Every pregnancy is different, and there's wide variation in the length of labor."

Same Method for Soft- or Hard-Boiled Eggs Our tried-and-true method for cooking eggs involves covering them with cold water, bringing the water to a boil, and then taking the pan off the heat to let the eggs finish cooking. This is how we hard-boil eggs for Easter or when we're making deviled eggs for a party, but you can also pull the eggs from the hot water earlier if you'd like a softer yolk. There are some suggested cooking times in the recipe below. You may need to tweak them slightly to get your very own \"\"perfect egg\"\" but these times are a good place to start."

I’ve been teaching my boys basic cooking skills since they were in kindergarten. I think knowing how to boil eggs, i.e., how to make a hard boiled egg, or a soft boiled egg (same thing, less time), is a basic kitchen skill that is important to have. Although the boys have been preparing scrambled eggs perfectly for over a decade, I had not yet transmitted a superior process to them for making hard boiled eggs. After much trial and tribulation, with dozens of batches of eggs, over several weeks, I can assure you that this tutorial will teach you how to make the perfect hard boiled egg. And now my boys have this knowledge as well. How to Boil Eggs Serves: Ingredients6 large eggs Instructions Use a medium sized pot (I use this 4 quart pan )Add 3 inches of water to the pot and bring to a boil Gently lower eggs into boiling water with a spoon Reduce heat to medium, so that water is simmering Cook for 15 minutes for hard boiled eggs Remove eggs from water with a spoon, allow to cool on a plate for 5-10 minutes Crack shells on counter and peel eggs The first method I tried was to place the eggs in the pot, add water, and then together bring the eggs and water to a boil, letting them simmer for the cooking time. Using this method, the cooking times were not very consistent or reliable, and the eggs were extremely difficult to get out of their shells. I also experimented with bringing the eggs to a boil in the water and then turning off the heat to allow the eggs to cook. Again, cooking times had too much variation and the eggs were quite a challenge to peel."

"text": "How Long Can Hard-Boiled Eggs Be Left Unrefrigerated?by JENNIFER DLUGOS Oct. 03, 2017Salmonella is the most common form of food poisoning in the United States, and contaminated eggs cause approximately 142,000 cases of salmonella in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Refrigerating your eggs properly will help to prevent contamination. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key The Danger Zone Leaving hard-boiled eggs at room temperature for extended periods of time allows for dangerous bacteria, including salmonella, to grow at a rapid pace. Food Safety.gov states that foodborne pathogens grow quickly between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, commonly known as the danger zone. Average room temperature ranges from 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Refrigerators store foods below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, slowing the rate of bacteria growth. If your refrigerator does not have a built-in temperature gauge, you can purchase an inexpensive refrigerator thermometer from a kitchen supply store. Recommendations for Eggs According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you should discard any perishable foods, including hard-boiled eggs, that have been left at room temperature for longer than two hours. The two-hour guideline applies to eggs you have just cooked as well as chilled hard-boiled eggs taken out of your refrigerator. During the hot summer months, or any time the temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, throw out any perishable food left outside of refrigeration for more than one hour, Food Safety.gov recommends."

Eggs need to be handled with care March 31, 1999. . . It may be more topical at Easter, but making sure eggs remain a safe food for consumers is a year around challenge. Like raw meat, poultry, fish, or any other perishable food, eggs need to be properly refrigerated and properly cooked. \"\" Eggs are a potentially hazardous food and need to be handled as such,\"\" says Ron Mc Kay, administrator of the Oregon Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Division. \"\" Whether it is Easter or some other time of the year, you need to handle eggs properly.\"\" Thoroughly cooking eggs usually renders them safe from pathogens, but some foods have traditionally used raw eggs. The concern rests not only with raw eggs that go into cookie dough or a Caesar Salad, but with the cooked egg as well-- the kind that ends up being brightly colored and decorated during the Easter holiday. The bacteria Salmonella enteritidis can be found in poultry products, including eggs, and can cause food borne illness.

Generally, hard-boiled eggs can last a week in the refrigerator. Even with its natural (but easily cracked) calcium-carbonate container, a hard-cooked egg is a perishable food, so it shouldn't be kept at room temperature for more than two hours. Interestingly, hard-boiled eggs do not keep nearly as long as raw eggs, which can last three to five weeks in the refrigerator.

There are often no visible sign of spoilage. While raw eggs attract the most concern -- mainly because of salmonella -- a cooked egg that has been left at room temperature can pose just as many health risks.credit: Siraphol/i Stock/Getty Images How To Tell If Hard Boiled Eggs Are Still Good Steering clear of a hard-boiled egg -- still in its shell -- that floats in water will safeguard against choosing an egg that's spoiled. Even if some perfectly good eggs do float because of an aberration, buoyancy is a sign that the air sack inside the membrane has enlarged as a result of the egg aging beyond its recommended storage span. For the same reason, fresher eggs are harder to peel than those that might be past their prime. Because air accumulates in older eggs, those eggs whose shells slip off easily might be spoiled, although other tests should be performed. As a supplementary test, spoiled eggs announce themselves with a strong, sulfurous odor once opened. The smell is so potent that there is little guesswork required in deciding whether to press on with enjoying the egg. Color is a less reliable gauge. Hard-boiled eggs that have been overcooked will have a green tinge to the yolk, caused by sulfur and iron deposits reacting with the proteins."

You should always buy your food, especially highly perishable products and products that are susceptible to contamination, from a reliable source.

After all, in the event that the power did get knocked out, all the food in their fridges would have spoiled and needed to be thrown out – right? Actually, it’s a bit more complicated than that. While milk, for instance, will spoil after a few hours at room temperature, some cheeses are safe to eat after the same amount of time. In fact, the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service put out a special bulletin informing hurricane-stricken residents what they do and do not need to throw out in the event of a prolonged power outage. Apparently, not everything that you normally put in the fridge will quickly go bad if it gets warm. Photo Credit: Getty Images Food Safety 101To find out more, we spoke to Jeff Potter, a food science expert and author of Cooking for Geeks. “ The important thing to understand about refrigeration is that it slows down how quickly the bacteria multiplies,” he says. “ It changes the temperature of the environment so the bacteria don’t multiply fast enough.” And the slower the bacteria multiply, the slower it will take for your food to go bad."

It is usually stored in the refrigerator. Some fresh fruits and vegetables, however, will store quite well out of the refrigerator as long as they are stored in a cool place. Refrigeration can substantially reduce the rate at which food will deteriorate. Low temperatures slow down the growth of microorganisms and the rate of chemical (including enzymic) changes in food. These are two of the main causes of food spoilage. Different parts of your refrigerator will operate at different temperatures. In older style refrigerators the upper shelves will often be slightly colder than the lower shelves. In more modern appliances, the temperature will be relatively uniform throughout. Check your instruction booklet to find the warmest and coldest areas inside your model."

Cooked Food: Leftover, cooked foods should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container and eaten within 4-5 days. Food, whether cooked or not, should not be left at room temperature for more than 4 hours otherwise the risk of food poisoning increases.

And who could forget the ever controversial debate of whether to keep eggs in the fridge or not!Below is a great go-to guide if you have ever pondered the shelf life of these nutritional powerhouses!Eggs in the Fridge Despite the debate that almost divided a nation, it seems that Aussies do actually prefer to keep their eggs in the fridge- in climates where temperatures are known to fluctuate, this is probably the safest option. When storing eggs in the fridge, no matter what model or make the fridge is, they should not be kept in the door, but instead in the main area. This is to ensure they are kept at a consistent and cool temperature, and aren’t jostled about which can cause them to deteriorate quickly. If possible, keep your eggs in an egg carton. The carton slows down moisture loss and so protects the eggs from absorbing other strong flavours or odours of other foods in your fridge- garlic eggs, not so great for that pavlova!Uncooked Eggs When refrigerated to the standards noted above, uncooked eggs (in their shells) should last around 4-5 weeks without significant quality loss. It is important to note that this timeframe is from when the eggs were laid (another point why fresh is best!)."

Chorizo is cured for weeks or months in air, and doesn't need to be cooked or refrigerated. An unopened chorizo sausage can be hung almost indefinitely at room temperature, even in hot Spain. Mould may begin to grow on the outside of the skin, but this can be peeled off. Once peeled or cooked, treat in the same way as raw or cooked ham, as bacteria will be picked up from your skin, hair, utensils and surfaces during preparation. I always chop off the end cm or so, then chop off as much as I need for a meal, then leave the rest of the sausage in the fridge. Eggs (boiled, I assume?) will spoil (look and taste inedible) long before they become harmful."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Cooking Times and Temperatures How long can fresh eggs be at room temperature? Flag How long can fresh eggs be at room temperature? Answer by Dashman2002 Confidence votes 434There is one rule that more people should follow when it comes to the freshness of their food, and that is \"\"When in doubt, throw it out!\"\" With eggs you may want to use the float-test method. Take a 12oz glass, fill it a bit more than half way with cool water. Take a \"\"fresh\"\" egg and gently place it in the glass of water. If the egg drops to the bottom, that is a good thing. It is still fresh enough to use. If the egg drops to the bottom and comes back to the top, the gases in the egg have began to stir. The gas is a sign the egg is no good."

My question is how long can these items, especially the sausage rolls and sausages stay unrefrigerated safely?

In general, foods that need to be chilled (which include most of the foods people tend to serve on buffets and most sandwich fillings) should be left out of the fridge for the shortest time possible. If they are left at room temperature for a long time, bacteria can grow or toxins can form, and both of these could cause food poisoning. If you are preparing a buffet at home for friends or family, there aren't any regulations that specify a maximum time that food can be left out but, in the interests of safety, you should try and keep it short (not more than two hours). Then any remaining food should be thrown away or put back in the fridge. If you keep leftovers in the fridge, don't let them stand around at room temperature when you serve them again."

"text": "Inspired by conversations on the Food52 Hotline, we’re sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today: The fear of spoiled food has many of us quaking in our kitchens. We uncovered the chilling truth about whether these 10 items really need to be refrigerated. There has been many a heated debate over how to store delicate items like eggs and butter. Some swear that butter is fine when left covered on the counter — and there’s nothing worse than hard butter come baking time, or toast time. And it’s a shame to think that fruit, which looks so lovely piled into a stone bowl on the counter, needs to be hidden in the icebox. While it would be nice if really fresh, high-quality foods from your local farmer didn’t need to be refrigerated, the truth is that refrigeration helps many items — though not all — remain at their peak longer. We wanted the answers to some of the oft-debated refrigeration mysteries. We went digging, and here’s what we found:1. Eggs: Should be refrigerated in the United States As much as we love the idea of displaying beautiful eggs in a bowl on the counter, ready to use at a moment’s notice, American eggs should be refrigerated."

[ SILKWORM EGG/SILKWORM FAQ]Newly hatched silkworms must be maintained at warm temperatures (78-85 degrees) or they will not grow and will usually die. We recommend incubators (see below for more details on incubators and keeping them warm). Once the silkworms reach about 3/4 inch long (after about 10 to 12 days from the time they hatch) they are past the critical stage and can be rasied at somewhat lower temperatures - but it is best to keep them warm thru all stages if you want them to grow quickly and remain healthy. How long after I receive my order of silkworm eggs will they hatch? The silkworm eggs will generally hatch within a week after they arrive if kept between 78 and 85 degrees, but may take up to 2 weeks (eggs take longer to hatch at cooler temperatures). What do I need to do to hatch the eggs? Try to keep them consistently between 78 and 85 degrees. They will hatch at a somewhat lower temperature but it will take longer (and the newly hatched worms will not grow and be healthy unless they are maintained at warm temperatures). WE RECOMMEND USING AN INCUBATOR IF POSSIBLE. ("

If eggs start out as Grade AA, they remain AA for only two weeks if properly refrigerated. After that, they'll be Grade A for another 2 weeks. \"\" >Here is a true test of freshness: Get a bowl of cold water. Put the whole egg in the water. If it sinks, it's fresh; if it floats to the top, it is old. It will kind of lay almost on its side. You can see the age of it by how much it floats. It's a good idea to do this test before selling any eggs if you suspect they are older than two weeks.

If I use regular buttercream (butter, sugar, milk & vanilla) frosting I don't usually refrigerate. I hate Crisco frosting! When I do it sweats when I take it out! If you use IMBF (YUMMY) do you need to refrigerate? I thought if it was cooked it didn't need refrigeration? If you use fondant decorations I did not think you could refrigerate a cake?

After it’s baked, does the pecan pie need to be refrigerated or can I leave it at room temperature? Answer: You should refrigerate the pecan pie, unless you’re planning to serve it within two hours of baking. As both the United States Department of Agriculture and the American Egg Board note, it’s unsafe to eat homemade pies with egg-based fillings, including pecan pie, that have been allowed to sit at room temperature for two hours or longer. ( Commercially produced pecan pies that are displayed and sold unrefrigerated have preservatives and other ingredients added to make them shelf-stable. ) The reason is that bacteria grow rapidly when your pecan pie is kept at temperatures between 40° F and 140° F. To prevent foodborne illness, homemade pecan pie should be refrigerated within two hours. It’s okay to place the pie in the fridge if it’s still warm. The baking experts at Betty Crocker and Pillsbury likewise recommend refrigerating homemade pecan pie (check the links for some tasty recipes.) Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap."

Six Wise.com We've all done it: wrap some leftover pizza in foil, or put your leftover casserole into a plastic container, then shove it into the back of the fridge, only to \"\"rediscover\"\" it four or five days later. You probably give it a sniff, and if it smells alright, go ahead and eat it. But is it really still good? As a rule of thumb, if you're wondering whether a food is still good, but you can't remember when you put it into the fridge, throw it out. Here are some rather unpleasant things to consider: If you've already double-dipped, say by eating right out of a cottage cheese container, saliva is transferred into the food where it can promote bacterial growth. Mold is not always visible. It can exist in food without your being able to see it. Oils in high-fat foods like mayonnaise and salad dressings break down over time, resulting in flavor changes. However, this can be subtle and you may not notice it, even though they're past their prime."

I understand about eggs in a carton uncooked but want to know about a cooked egg.2 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Boiled eggs are cooked by immersing eggs (typically chicken's eggs) in boiling water with their shells unbroken. ( Eggs cooked in water without their shells are known as poached eggs; see Poaching (cooking).) Hard-boiled eggs are produced by boiling until both the egg yolk and the egg white are solid, while for soft-boiled eggs the yolk, and sometimes even the white, remains \"\"runny\"\". Boiled eggs are commonly eaten in Europe, North America and other parts of the Western world. They are generally considered easier to cook than many other ways of preparing eggs, while hard boiled eggs are easier to cook than soft boiled eggs. Soft-boiled eggs Soft-boiled eggs are typically cooked by placing the eggs in a pan of boiling water and then simmering for 3 - 4 minutes [1]. An egg timer can be used to measure the time the egg is boiled. Due to the undercooked yolk, soft-boiled eggs are not recommended for people who may be susceptible to salmonella, such as very young children, the old, and those with weakened immune systems. [ 2] In Europe and the United States one or more soft boiled eggs are sometimes taken out of their shells, broken up and put into a glass. They are then eaten from the glass."

Now one of the most common operations performed in the United States, it is also one of the safest and most effective. Considered a simple outpatient procedure, cataract surgery takes less than an hour to perform and can free the patient from a life of blurriness, allowing him or her to read and even drive again. However, like any procedure, there are some risks and possible side effects associated with cataract surgery, so you should discuss both the pros and cons with your doctor before making a decision. Whether phacoemulsification or extracapsular cataract extraction has been performed, follow up care is identical after surgery and healing generally proceeds with no complications. With any cataract procedure, the surgical incisions are very small indeed. Stitches are often unnecessary. Healing within the eye generally should be fast and although vision at first may be blurry, it should begin to improve just a few days after the surgery. Follow-up exams with the eye doctor normally begin the day after surgery."

Cataract surgery is our signature operation, so it’s worthwhile to familiarize yourself with basic lens anatomy and surgical goals. The eye is the most amazing organ in the human body, and the lens is one of the most impressive structures within it! Not only is the lens the densest tissue in the body (highest protein content and lowest water percentage) it also remains optically clear for years despite constant bombardment by light radiation. The lens can even use it’s mighty-morphing transformer powers to change shape and thus it’s focusing power! Not bad, eh? Some Cataract Terminology Phakic: When you have your natural lens Psudophakic eye: When a cataract is replaced with an artificial lens Aphakik eye: When a cataract is removed but isn’t replaced. Lens Anatomy We can’t go any further in our discussion without first describing the anatomy of the lens and how it sits in the eye. When conceptualizing the structure of the lens, you may find it useful to think of it like a yummy peanut M&M candy. Thus, there is an outer capsule like a “hard candy shell” that surrounds the lens."

Metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibers over time lead to the development of the cataract and loss of transparency, causing impairment or loss of vision. In addition to these age related changes, infants may be born with congenital cataracts. Direct ocular trauma and some medications, specifically the long term use of steroids, may also result in cataract formation. Long term exposure to infrared light and microwave radiation may also lead to cataract formation. Many peoples' first symptoms are strong glare from lights and small light sources at night, along with reduced acuity at low light levels. During cataract surgery, a patient's cloudy natural cataract lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the lens's transparency. [ 1]Following surgical removal of the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted (eye surgeons say that the lens is \"\"implanted\"\"). Cataract surgery is generally performed by an ophthalmologist in an ambulatory setting rather than an inpatient setting, in a surgical center or hospital. Either topical, peribulbar, or retrobulbar local anesthesia is used, usually causing little or no discomfort to the patient."

In patients with additional eye diseases such as Glaucoma or Diabetic Retinopathy the complication rate may increase. Nonetheless the overall success rate for Cataract Surgery is generally regarded as being between 85-92% with overall patient satisfaction being in the 95% range. As with any surgery, patients should be familiar with possible complications so that they can bring any unusual symptoms or signs to the attention of their Cataract Surgeon in order to help avoid potential complications of Cataract Surgery, Cataract Surgery problems or unusual side effects after Cataract removal. Short Term Cataract Surgery Complications Short term Cataract Surgery problems and complications are those that we will define as occurring during or very soon after the actual surgical procedure-perhaps within the first 24 hours after surgery. Bleeding -Bleeding is a very unusual complication of Cataract Surgery. Bleeding inside the back of the eye is quite rare. While bleeding can occur inside the front of the eye where the actually surgery is being performed, this too is rare-especially since the tiny incision is made in the clear portion of the Cornea where there are no blood vessels. If bleeding does occur it is usually limited to the surface of the eye where your surgeon can easily cauterize it and stop it immediately. Bruise or “Black Eye” -If it was necessary to use an injection around your eye in addition to or in place of anesthetic eye drops due to some factor regarding your overall health you may experience some temporary bruising around your eye."

"text": "Cataract Surgery Cost Guide How much does cataract surgery cost? Cataract surgery is a complex procedure which must be performed by a trained ophthalmology specialist using advanced equipment, meaning the final cost of cataract surgery can prove to be a significant investment. The final cost estimate for cataract surgery depends on a range of factors. The geographical location of the clinic or hospital is probably the most influential factor, with the cost of cataract surgery varying dramatically from country to country. While the idea of travelling abroad may seem like an alarming prospect, the lack of access to treatment in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia has resulted in many patients looking further afield for their cataract surgery. The average cost of cataract surgery in the United States is around $3,429; in Mexico, however, the procedure can be found for $2,010. Another aspect which influences the price of cataract surgery is the experience and reputation of the surgeon. You can expect to pay significantly more to be seen by a surgeon with decades of experience or who comes highly-recommended. Assessing the qualifications and training of a surgeon is one way of determining how much experience they have, with many ophthalmologists working in countries such as India or Thailand having trained and worked internationally. Similarly, the standing of the hospital or clinic where you choose to undergo your surgery can affect the final cost."

"text": "Print Overview Cataract surgery Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. Normally, the lens of your eye is clear. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, which eventually affects your vision. Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) on an outpatient basis, which means you don't have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery can be done traditionally using ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy lens or it can be removed with laser-assisted technology. Cataract surgery is very common and is generally a safe procedure. Why it's done How a cataract affects your vision Cataract surgery is performed to treat cataracts. Cataracts can cause blurry vision and increase the glare from lights. If a cataract makes it difficult for you to carry out your normal activities, your doctor may suggest cataract surgery. When a cataract interferes with the treatment of another eye problem, cataract surgery may be recommended."

Anterior vitrectomy entails removing small portions of the vitreous humor from the front structures of the eye—often because these are tangled in an intraocular lens or other structures. Pars plana vitrectomy is a general term for a group of operations accomplished in the deeper part of the eye, all of which involve removing some or all of the vitreous humor—the eye's clear internal jelly. Even before the modern era, some surgeons did perform crude vitrectomies. For instance, Dutch surgeon Anton Nuck (1650-1692) claimed to have removed vitreous by suction in a young man with an inflamed eye. [ 1] In Boston, John Collins Warren (1778-1856) performed a crude limited vitrectomy for angle closure glaucoma. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Pars plana vitrectomy2 Additional surgical steps3 Indications4 Complications5 Recovery after vitrectomy6 Vision after vitrectomy7 Technology8 Cultural references9 See also10 References Pars plana vitrectomy [ edit]Vitrectomy was originated by Robert Machemer [3] with contributions from Thomas M. Aaberg, Sr in late 1969 and early 1970. The original purpose of vitrectomy was to remove clouded vitreous humor—usually containing blood. The success of these first procedures led to the development of techniques and instruments to remove clouding and also to peel scar tissue off the light sensitive lining of the eye—the retina — membranectomy, to provide space for materials injected in the eye to reattach the retina such as gases or liquid silicone, and to increase the efficacy of other surgical steps such as scleral buckle. The development of new instruments and surgical strategies through the 1970s and 1980s was spearheaded by surgeon/engineer Steve Charles, M. D. [4] More recent advances have included smaller and more refined instruments for use in the eye, the injection of various medications at the time of surgery to manipulate a detached retina into its proper position and mark the location of tissue layers to allow their removal, and for long term protection against scar tissue formation."

The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy eye's natural lens (colloquially called a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL provides the same light focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens, and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power as a treatment for myopia, or nearsightedness. [ 1] IOLs usually consist of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. [ 2] IOLs were conventionally made of an inflexible material ( PMMA ), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. [ citation needed] Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation. Surgeons annually implant more than 6 million lenses. ["

"text": "\"Cataract Care A Cataract is a clouding of the normally transparent lens within your eye. The lens is located directly behind the pupil and normally assists in focusing light for clear vision. As the cataract worsens, it prevents light from coming through your pupil and focusing clearly on the retina. Early changes may be very minor, but as this process continues, symptoms of blurred vision, light sensitivity, glare, and night driving difficulties increase. Types of cataract There are several types of cataract. The major two are \"\"nuclear\"\" and \"\"posterior subcapsular.\"\" A \"\"nuclear\"\" cataract involves the center (nucleus) of the lens and usually comes on quite slowly over a prolonged period of time. This is the \"\"usual\"\" form of age-related cataract. Approximately half of all Americans age 65 to 74 have cataracts and 70% of those age 75 and over have this condition.

Please Share!On this page: Typical recovery time • Tips for a speedy recovery • Typical cataract surgery outcomes Your cataract surgery recovery should be short and uneventful, as long as your health is good and you don't have other major eye problems. Statistics also show that your chances of a good outcome and sharper vision after surgery are excellent. Uncomplicated cataract surgery often takes no longer than about 10 minutes to perform. But immediately after the surgery, you will need to rest in a recovery area until you are less groggy from sedation or anesthesia. Typically this takes about 30 minutes to an hour. You must have someone available to drive you home after the procedure. You'll be given a pair of sunglasses to wear on the trip home to protect your eye from bright light and glare. If you are sleepy or tired when you get home, you might want to rest in bed for a few hours. Depending on your cataract surgeon's advice, you may be able to remove the protective shield placed over your eye within several hours after the procedure."

"text": "Pets Costs > Dogs > How Much Does Cataract Surgery for Dogs Cost? How Much Does Cataract Surgery for Dogs Cost? When a dog’s lens of its eye “clouds” in a white to blue color, it may be time for cataract surgery. Just like in a human, this surgery will replace the damaged lens with an intraocular lens implant, also known as IOL. The cataract is the opacity of the lens that prevents the light from reaching the retina, and these cataracts can develop for a variety of reasons. Cataracts can be caused by a disease, old age, genetics or even trauma to the eye. They may be present at birth or as they develop, usually between one to three years old. Web MD.com notes that cataracts are often associated with diabetes.“ Chester Portrait ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by nathanmac87How much is it? On average, this surgery can range anywhere from $1,400 to as much as $3,900 for both eyes."

"text": "\"Intraocular lens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Pseudophakia)navigation search Intraocular lens ICD-9-CM 13.72Me SH D054120OPS-301 code 5-984 [ edit on Wikidata]Intraocular lens is a lens implanted in the eye as part of a treatment for cataracts or myopia. The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy eye's natural lens (colloquially called a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL provides the same light focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens, and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power as a treatment for myopia, or nearsightedness. [ 1] IOLs usually consist of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. [ 2] IOLs were conventionally made of an inflexible material ( PMMA ), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. [ citation needed] Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation. Surgeons annually implant more than 6 million lenses. ["

"text": "ICL implantation The need for glasses can be reduced considerably or, in many cases, corrected entirely by refractive surgery. LASIK, the dominant contemporary technique, is based on laser reshaping of the cornea. This works wonderfully well for many patients, but higher corrections require a greater depth of tissue removal, and there is a limit to the amount of corneal tissue that can be removed safely. So for many patients with higher refractive errors (typically -8.00D and above; +4.00D and above), alternative techniques based on lens implantation are more suitable. A number of different lens implants have been developed for correcting high refractive errors. The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is the safest of these ( www.visianinfo.com ). In high myopia (>-8.00D) the eye has too much focussing power. Without glasses, light from objects further than 1/8th of a metre away from the eye is focussed in front of the retina, forming a blurred image. The ICL for high myopia (-8.00D and above) is a negative lens which acts to neutralise the excessive focussing power of the eye allowing clear vision in the distance. The ICL for hypermetropia does the reverse."

"text": "\"Home LASIK & Vision Surgery » Refractive Lens Exchange Refractive Lens Exchange (Lens Replacement Surgery)Reviewed By Brian S. Boxer Wachler, MDLike This Page? Please Share!On This Page: Refractive lens exchange for presbyopia Refractive lens exchange vs. LASIK Refractive lens exchange results Risks and side effects Refractive lens exchange, also called lens replacement surgery or clear lens extraction, may be a better option than LASIK, PRK or phakic IOL refractive surgery for people with presbyopia and high hyperopia (farsightedness). Refractive lens exchange (RLE) replaces your eye's clear natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct your refractive error and achieve sharper focus, reducing your need for reading glasses or bifocals. While lens replacement surgery technically does not have FDA approval, some eye surgeons will perform the procedure off label in certain circumstances. This is legal and sometimes is the most effective way to correct particular vision problems. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)Refractive lens exchange typically is for people with presbyopia or extreme farsightedness, for whom LASIK, PRK or phakic IOL surgery generally are not suitable. If you have both presbyopia and moderate to severe hyperopia, RLE may be the only viable option for clear vision and minimal reliance on glasses after refractive surgery. Lens replacement surgery also can correct myopia (nearsightedness), but generally it is not recommended when LASIK, PRK or phakic IOLs are available. The procedure for refractive lens exchange is virtually identical to cataract surgery. The difference is that in RLE, the lens being replaced is clear, rather than a cloudy lens due to a cataract."

LASIK surgery is one of the most popular ways to correct vision, and AIO knows just how to do it. Although LASIK is not the only form of vision correction surgery, it is the most commonly selected procedure. The term LASIK is an acronym for “laser assisted insitu keratomileusis”. LASIK surgery uses a laser to reshape the cornea, also known as the “windshield” of the eye, so that light entering the eye can be focused better on the retina, allowing for clearer vision. Having laser vision correction is a big decision, and like most people you probably have some questions and concerns. AIO continues to be a Center of Excellence and at the forefront of technology. We are excited to be one of the first practices in Western Pennsylvania to offer both the Wave Light EX500 Excimer laser and the Wavelight FS 200 femtosecond laser, bringing our patients the option of all-laser LASIK. The Wavelight Refractive Suite is currently the fastest surgery platform available in the U. S. AIO is one of the longest established eye surgical practices in the country. Our Director of Refractive Surgery, Dr. Donald Santora, is board-certified and sets the standard of excellence for the entire refractive team."
