"text": "HBO will release all six seasons of “The Sopranos” on Blu-ray for the first time next week, but don’t expect David Chase to pop in one of the discs right away. “ I think I will get to the point when I want to watch again, but after a while you’ve had enough of it. You lived it,” Chase told Huff Post Entertainment. Not that fans would agree: “The Sopranos” is still such a cultural landmark that Chase had to issue a clarification after comments he made about the fate of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) in an interview with Vox went viral. ( To recap: Tony is either alive or dead.) Books have been written about “The Sopranos.” Writers on the show would go on to create or co-create “Mad Men” (Matthew Weiner), “Boardwalk Empire” (Terence Winter), “Damages” (Todd A. Kessler) and “Blue Bloods” (Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess). One of “The Sopranos” directors, Alan Taylor, even made a Thor movie. To celebrate the Nov. 4 release of “The Sopranos: The Complete Series,” Huff Post Entertainment asked Chase to pick his favorite episode for each of the show’s main characters: Tony Soprano, Carmela Soprano, Meadow Soprano, A. J. Soprano, Livia Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti, Uncle Junior and Dr. Melfi. His answers are below."

However, proper Roman numbers are subject to the following restrictions about the applicability of the subtractive principle. The use of the subtractive principle has always been optional. Its systematic use is fairly modern. For example, it's acceptable to use IIII instead of IV, as is usually done on clockfaces (to \"\"balance\"\" their left and right halves, so we're told). The subtractive principle (a subtrahend preceding a minuend) may apply: Only to a numeral (the subtrahend) that is a power of ten (I, X or C). For example, \"\"VL\"\" is not a valid representation of 45 (XLV is correct). Only when the subtrahend precedes a minuend no more than ten times larger. For example, \"\"IL\"\" is not a valid representation of 49 (XLIX is correct)."

Augustus Caesar Biography Augustus Caesar, born in Rome in the year 63 BC on September 23, is considered to be the first greatest Roman Emperor. He was the absolute monarch for over forty years, from 27 B. C. until 14 A. D. This reign was popularly called the Augustan Age. Though he was a rigid politician and soldier, he stopped civil wars and took Rome to new heights of peace, order, prosperity and royal magnitude. August, the 8th month of the Gregorian calendar, is also named after his name. Though born as Gaius Octavius, his named was altered to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavius after getting adopted by Julius Caesar, who wanted heir. Caesar was August Caesar's uncle, his mother's brother. After Julius Caesar’s assassination in March 44 BC, Augustus Caesar came back from Apollonia (now Albania) and formed an army in association with Julius Caesar’s expert soldiers, Marcus Antonius and Marcus Lepidus. This coalition, referred to as the Second Triumvirate, began a war against Julius Caesar’s murderers, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius who finally escaped to the east."

Passing long days al mare is a favorite Italian pastime, and Rome has plenty of nearby beaches to wile away the warm summer days. Explore the eight best beaches up and down the Roman coastline, all easily accessible with public transportation from the city center. Santa Marinella The best beach near Rome – in terms of travel time, comfort and overall experience – is most certainly Santa Marinella. This lovely beach is located in a quaint bay and has clear water, a great little hole-in-the-wall for a quick take-away lunch (beneath the Gigi Bar on the boardwalk), and plenty of lounge-chairs. There is a small public area to lay out your towel, but space fills up quickly so plan to arrive early. How to get there: Take the train from any major station in Rome (Roma Termini, Ostiense, Trastevere, or San Pietro) to S. Marinella. The beach is just a five to ten minute walk from the station.un'altro salvataggio #santamarinella #mare #domenica #howisummer #italia #italia360 #igerslazio #igersitalia #ig_italia #igspecialist #seetoshare #estate #browsingitaly #whatitalyis A post shared by Livia Hengel (@liviahengel) on Jun 21, 2015 at 6:24am PDTSanta Severa Another great option is Santa Severa, just one stop prior to Santa Marinella.

"text": "The River Liffey The River Liffey ( An Life / Liphe, originally referring to the plain through which the river ran, but eventually to the river itself) bisects Dublin City physically and psychologically into the South Side and the North Side before emptying into Dublin Bay. The Ha’penny Bridge The river was previously named An Ruirthech (“fast / strong / raging runner”). Since at least the C18 th, the river has also been called Anna Liffey, immortalised by James Joyce as the muse Anna Livia Plurabelle. Although not a large river by the standards of the Thames or the Seine, the Liffey has always played a central role in the identity, prosperity, history, literature and culture of Dublin. The river rises in the Liffey Head Bog between Sally Gap and Kippure in the northern Wicklow Mountains, and, descending to the plain via the Poulaphouca Rreservoir (Co. Wicklow), flows circuitously for much of its 125km / 78mi length through Co. Kildare ( via Ballymore Eustace, Newbridge, Clane, Celbridge and Leixlip) and arrives in Co. Dublin at Lucan. The river Camac / Camock joins the Liffey at Islandbridge, where the tidal estuary begins, with seawater substantially increasing the rivers volume twice a day as it makes its way between the Quays. The historic river Poddle, nowadays ignominiously confined to a culvert, joins it along this final metropolitan stretch towards the Docks, where it is met by the Grand and Royal Canals, and the River Dodder at Ringsend, before finally entering Dublin Bay on the Irish Sea. The river’s width within the city has over time been considerably modified and narrowed by riverbank construction and land reclamation. Within the present Dublin City area the river generally widens between quay walls in the downstream direction from about 30m to over 300m at its mouth. Even at its source, the Liffey is a curious brown colour, due to its peat bog origin."

His autocratic regime is known as the principate because he was the princeps, the first citizen, at the head of that array of outwardly revived republican institutions that alone made his autocracy palatable. With unlimited patience, skill, and efficiency, he overhauled every aspect of Roman life and brought durable peace and prosperity to the Greco-Roman world. Gaius Octavius was of a prosperous family that had long been settled at Velitrae (Velletri), southeast of Rome. His father, who died in 59 bce, had been the first of the family to become a Roman senator and was elected to the high annual office of the praetorship, which ranked second in the political hierarchy to the consulship. Gaius Octavius’s mother, Atia, was the daughter of Julia, the sister of Julius Caesar, and it was Caesar who launched the young Octavius in Roman public life. At age 12 he made his debut by delivering the funeral speech for his grandmother Julia. Three or four years later he received the coveted membership of the board of priests ( pontifices ). In 46 bce he accompanied Caesar, now dictator, in his triumphal procession after his victory in Africa over his opponents in the Civil War; and in the following year, in spite of ill health, he joined the dictator in Spain. He was at Apollonia (now in Albania) completing his academic and military studies when, in 44 bce, he learned that Julius Caesar had been murdered."

Her influence had as its origin the only resource available to women of her time, proximity to male power. She, like Livia before her, was the wife of one emperor and the mother of another. She was also the sister of a third and the daughter of a prince of the imperial house whose shadow fell across dynastic politics long after his death. She could not in any case have avoided the complications that were her lot by birth, but she evidently had the desire -- and the will -- to exploit the position into which she had been born. She wrote a memoir that recorded the \"\"misfortunes of her family\"\" ( casus suorum ). This document alone seems proof that she was deeply aware of the stress generated from a dangerous environment. [ [ 1]]Early Life Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder). Germanicus' father was a son of Augustus' wife Livia by a former husband. His mother was Antonia Minor, daughter of Mark Antony and Octavia, Augustus' sister."

His great-grandfather was Augustus, his great-uncle Tiberius and his uncle Claudius. See Julio-Claudian Family Tree. Gaius' life started out promising, as he was the son of extremely famous parents. Germanicus was loved as Rome's most beloved general and as Augustus' adopted grandson, which cemented his connection to the Julian Clan. Agrippina was Augustus' granddaughter and was the model for what the perfect Roman woman should be. When he was two or three years of age, Gaius became the mascot of his father's army. The soldiers were amused whenever Agrippina put on a miniature soldier costume on Gaius, and he was soon given his nickname \"\"Caligula\"\" (or Caligulae), meaning \"\"Little Boots\"\" in Latin for the small boots he wore that were part of his costume."

"text": "\"Caligula Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus 12 - 41Caligula was the third emperor of Rome. At best, he was one of the most autocratic of Rome's early emperors; at worst, one of the most deranged. Caligula was born Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus in Antium (modern Anzio) on Aug. 31, A. D. 12. His mother, Agrippina, was Emperor Augustus's granddaughter, and his father, Germanicus, was Emperor Tiberius's nephew, adopted son, and heir. Gaius was brought up among the soldiers his father commanded on the Rhine. His mother dressed him in the uniform of a Roman legionnaire, and for this reason the soldiers called him Caligula (\"\"Little Boots\"\"), the name by which he is commonly known. In A. D. 19 Germanicus died. His death was mourned throughout the empire because he was, by all accounts, an honourable and courageous man. After his father's death Caligula lived in Rome, first with his mother, then with Livia (Augustus's wife), and then with his grandmother. Finally, in 32, he joined Tiberius in his retirement on Capri."

Then visit the FORUM page for this emperor. Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC – March 16 AD 37 ), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37. Tiberius was by birth a Claudian, son of Tiberius Nero and Livia. His mother divorced his father and remarried to Augustus in 39 BC. Tiberius would later marry Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from an earlier marriage) and even later be adopted by Augustus and by this act he became a Julian. The subsequent emperors after Tiberius would continue this blended dynasty of both families for the next forty years; historians have named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty . Tiberius Claudius Nero deserves recognition as one of Rome's greatest generals, whose campaigns in Pannonia, Illyricum, Rhaetia and Germania laid the foundations for the northern frontier. But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and sombre ruler (tristissimus hominum – ‘the gloomiest of men’, by one account), who never really desired to be Emperor. After the death of Tiberius’ son Drusus in 23, the quality of his rule declined, and ended in a Terror."

Although these changes proceed in a relatively orderly fashion, a variety of external factors and intrinsic characteristics may accelerate or retard decomposition. Understanding common postmortem changes and the variables that affect them allows the forensic pathologist to more accurately estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) and to provide a time frame during which death occurred. Further, an awareness of common postmortem artifacts limits the risk of misdiagnosis at the time of autopsy. History Death and the changes that follow have been ingrained in society since the dawn of history. Ancient Egyptians took extraordinary measures to slow decomposition, with some good results. Later societies recognized the need to sequester the dead from the living to contain the spread of disease. In modern times, bereaved families must choose between cremation and embalmment for their dearly departed. Death is a part of life,and decomposition is a part of death. Epidemiology All bodies undergo some degree of postmortem change after death."

The blood pools because the heart can no longer circulate the blood. Gravity will make the blood settle and the areas where it settles turns to a dark blue or purple color, which is termed 'lividity'. The blood begins to pool immediately following death and is visible within a couple of hours. After the first two hours, the skin is bluish and blotchy. After five or six hours, the blotches become confluent and the skin will turn white when applied with pressure. After ten to twelve hours, the livid color remains even when pressed. It is important to note that the blood will migrate to the lowest point in the body that it can travel. This may not necessarily be the lowest part of the body."

"text": "Decomposition After death, the human body will typically decompose in a particular predictable fashion, though inevitably subject to a number of variables. To a degree the extent of decomposition can be used to estimate time since death, though an estimation is all this can be, as there is no infallibly scientific means of determining the post-mortem interval. Regardless of other affecting factors, the progression can typically be divided into a number of distinct stages; fresh, bloated, decay, post-decay, and dry/skeletal. Each stage is also associated with a rough time period during which it is likely to occur, subject to the factors that can alter these time periods. Each of these stages are also associated with the arrival of different species of insects, though more can be read about this on the forensic entomology page. Stages of Decomposition Fresh (1-2 days) This stage begins almost instantly from the moment of death. As the heart stops beating, the body’s cells are deprived of oxygen and p H changes occur. Cells gradually lose their structural integrity and begin to break down, releasing cellular enzymes which break down cells and tissues in a process known as autolysis, degraded by the body’s own enzymes. There will be no obvious signs of decomposition, however internally bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract begin to digest the soft tissues of the organs. Throughout this stage certain early post-mortem indicators may begin to occur, such as livor mortis (pooling of blood in the body), rigor mortis (stiffening of muscles) and algor mortis (body temperature reduction)."

In humans it starts 3 hours after death and lasts up to 3 days.sammy · 8 years ago0 0 Comment What Is Rigor Mortis Source (s):https://shrink.im/a8cy2matlock · 2 years ago0 0 Comment Rigor mortis is a muscular contracture (stiffening of the muscle) and occurs due to lack of ATP when muscle dies. Without ATP, the ADP remains bound to the cross bridges and cross bridges remain tightly bound to actin. Rigor (latin, meaning to become stiff), and mortis (latin, meaning death) In humans, rigor mortis commences after about 3 hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approx. 72 hours (3 days) after death."

It is a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body post mortem, causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin. When the heart stops functioning and is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity. Livor mortis starts in 20–30 minutes, but is usually not observable by the human eye until two hours after death. The size of the patches increases in the next three to six hours, with maximum lividity occurring between eight and twelve hours after death. The blood pools into the interstitial tissues of the body. The intensity of the color depends upon the amount of reduced haemoglobin in the blood. The discoloration does not occur in the areas of the body that are in contact with the ground or another object, in which capillaries are compressed.

Share Email Print Feedback Overview The reasons for performing hospital autopsy examinations are varied, ranging from simple to complex. To the family, the reason may simply be to find out the cause of the death. To the physicians, the reason may be to uncover the progression and interactions of multiple disease processes and the effects of therapy. Ultimately, the autopsy examination provides a clinicopathologic correlation to be used by both the family and the patient's physicians. The hospital autopsy pathologist is confronted with a wide variety of unique cases requiring specialized problem solving and autopsy procedures. These autopsy findings are correlated with the medical history (some of which is known before the autopsy and some becomes known after the examination), premortem imaging studies, premortem and postmortem laboratory studies, microscopic findings of tissues, toxicology, and other associated medical procedures and documents. Thus, often the real labor involved in a modern autopsy examination begins and ends outside of the morgue. The autopsy examination culminates in the generation of an autopsy report. This report may be relatively simple and straightforward or may be voluminous and exceedingly complex. Ultimately, the autopsy report is not only a written description of the autopsy findings but also assembles and correlates these findings with the clinical setting, laboratory results, and imaging studies."

After rigor and livor mortis, the body’s cells start to rupture–what’s commonly known as putrefaction. This horrific interstitial stage of decomposition is where the unhappy modern feminist movement currently finds itself: emitting noxious odours, but well on the way to decay and skeletonisation, long past the point where CPR would have any effect on the brain. For feminism, skeletonisation cannot come soon enough. After the numerous and well-publicised feminist fiascoes of 2014, it has become clear to all but the most ideologically determined observers that the intersectional third-wave harpies who so dominate in the American and British media and to whom obeisance has been paid for many years have nothing left to fight for and no arguments left to win. Witness the absurd, offensive, ludicrous spectacle of inanity and stupidity currently surrounding the New York subway: a campaign to stop men sitting comfortably on public transport. We “manspread,” apparently, which observers have interpreted as “sit in such a way as not to painfully crush the testicles or penis” but which feminists insist is an expression of patriarchal authority.

"text": "Science Q&ABy C. CLAIBORNE RAY DEC. 16, 1997Rigor Mortis Q. How long does it take for rigor mortis to set in? Is it a good indicator of the time of death? A. Rigor mortis is gradual, usually noticeable about three to four hours after death, and the timing varies with several factors, including the person's activity just before death and the temperature of the body's surroundings. How long it takes the muscle stiffness to subside also varies, with rigidity usually reaching a peak after 12 hours and nearly disappearing in 24 to 36 hours. Rigor is not a good indicator of the time of death. Coroners use the body's stiffness only in combination with other factors in estimating when a death probably took place, according to the Anoka and Wright County Coroner's Office, which serves an area north of Minneapolis. Rigor mortis, literally the stiffness of death, comes about because of chemical processes within muscles. Their normal operation, in which filaments slide past each other in contraction or relaxation, depends on energy from molecules of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. As the supply of ATP is depleted after death, two important muscle proteins, actin and myosin, become chemically locked."

"text": "\"Average Time Needed for a Body to Decompose Factors That Speed Up the Decomposition Process What Happens in the Process of Decomposition? 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. Average Time Needed for a Body to Decompose How long does it take for a body to decompose? When a person’s heart stops pumping blood to the body, the cells and tissues are denied oxygen and rapidly start dying."

How does someone become a lobbyist? Read these frequently asked questions and learn all about them. What is a lobbyist? A lobbyist is an activist who seeks to persuade members of the government (like members of Congress) to enact legislation that would benefit their group. The lobbying profession is a legitimate and integral part of our democratic political process that is not very well understood by the general population. While most people think of lobbyists only as paid professionals, there are also many volunteer lobbyists. Anyone who petitions the government or contacts their member of Congress to voice an opinion is functioning as a lobbyist. Lobbying is a regulated industry and a protected activity under the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution that guarantees rights to free speech, assembly, and petition."

So the Mexican government abruptly changed its White House strategy and substituted a grass-roots approach that would focus at the local level, seek small successes, and build momentum for congressional action. The linchpin for this new strategy was to be the “matricula consular,” an official identity card issued by the Mexican government, which it wanted to be officially recognized within the United States. This Backgrounder is the first detailed examination of the matricula issue. Among the findings: The matricula consular is useful in the United States only for illegal aliens, since legal immigrants, by definition, have U. S. government-issued documents. The Mexican government has launched an aggressive grassroots lobbying campaign to win acceptance for its matricula card from state and local jurisdictions and from banks, especially in areas where Mexican illegal aliens are concentrated. The objective of this lobbying effort is to achieve quasi-legal status for Mexican illegals in the United States without waiting for action from Washington. The matricula itself, however, is useful to illegal aliens only insofar as U. S. institutions are willing to collaborate with Mexico’s efforts to circumvent U. S. immigration law. While many jurisdictions have resisted pressure from the Mexican government, others have not; the matricula is now accepted by 800 local law enforcement agencies and 74 banks, as well as by 13 states for purposes of obtaining a driver’s license. Not only does the matricula subvert U. S. immigration law, it is not even a secure identity document."

"text": "WASHINGTON — The top 10 lobbying spenders shelled out a combined $64 million in the first three months of this year to influence federal policy, according to first-quarter lobbying reports filed with the Senate this week. The number represents an upswing on K Street, where lobbyists and clients are taking advantage of fresh opportunities afforded by the new Congress. First among the spenders was the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, which together with its subsidiary, the Institute for Legal Reform, spent $19.5 million to lobby Congress and the White House on topics ranging from free trade agreements to environmental regulation to copyright laws. It appears they were successful, at least in part. On Wednesday, the Senate approved a request by the Obama administration for “fast track” authority in trade deals, paving the way for the Chamber-backed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to move forward. Ranking second behind the Chamber was the National Association of Realtors. The group spent $7.7 million lobbying on issues like flood insurance premiums, which have risen sharply in the past few years. NAR also lobbied for the Mortgage Choice Act, a bill that would weaken regulations on mortgage lenders enacted following the 2007 collapse of the housing market. The Mortgage Choice Act passed in the House of Representatives on April 14. Only slightly behind the Realtors was the American Medical Association, which reported spending $6.7 million lobbying during the first quarter of 2015."

TCSG has pursued this goal through a wide variety of projects, including serving since 1985 as an Administration on Aging-funded National Support Center in Law & Aging. TCSG has, since the early 1970s, been actively engaged in working on aging programs and advocacy related to the Older Americans Act. We have also been involved in advising Congress, the Executive branch, and aging organizations on a variety of issues related to reauthorizations of the Older Americans Act through the past decades. Our publications and materials on law and aging and on elder rights have been devoted regularly to these issues. This web site on the Reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA) was created to provide, in one place, comprehensive information on and access to materials concerning the OAA, the reauthorization of the OAA during the 106th Congress (1999-2000), and information particularly related to legal assistance to vulnerable older Americans, elder rights advocacy, and the role of Legal Services Developers under the OAA. While the OAA was scheduled to be reauthorized in 2005, Congress did not act on the reauthorization, but simply continued the OAA in effect as it was. On September 30, 2006, Congress passed the reauthorization. Below is comprehensive information on this.

"text": "Congress is unlikely to override a promised veto by President Obama if both chambers reject a deal to curtail Iran’s nuclear capabilities, according to a Washington Post analysis of where the votes currently stand. But several things have to happen first. When both chambers return from the August recess, all 246 House Republicans are expected to vote against the deal, the analysis found. So far, 12 House Democrats have declared they too are opposed — more than enough to pass a resolution of disapproval through the lower chamber. [ Iran deal ads running in at least 23 states]Over in the Senate, the vote to pass a resolution of disapproval is closer. About 31 Democrats either support the deal or are expected to back it, while 56 senators — including all Republicans plus two Democrats (Sens. Chuck Schumer (N. Y.) and Bob Menendez (N. J.)) — are either overtly against the pact or presumed foes. But as of now, that’s not sufficient to clear the 60-vote hurdle needed to pass the disapproval resolution. If Congress rejects the deal at first pass, Obama has pledged to veto the resolution, meaning that opponents would then need to corral a two-thirds majority of both chambers to override the president and kill the deal. But our analysis found that it will be very difficult for the deal’s opponents to override the president’s veto."

"text": "\"Japanese American Citizens League Print Cite The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), formed in 1929, became the most well-known, influential Japanese American organization in the United States, but its history is not without controversy. The decision of the wartime JACL's leadership to cooperate with the federal government in the mass exclusion and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II elicited harsh criticism from those who believed the organization should have done more to defend Japanese Americans' rights during the war. The JACL's wartime opposition of test cases and criticism of resisters and dissenters remains a painful source of division today. After the war, the JACL became active in turning back discriminatory legislation through the courts, lobbied for legislation that would allow greater rights for Japanese immigrants and subsequent generations of American citizens of various ethnic and racial backgrounds, and was a key player in the redress movement. Though still in existence today, the JACL has seen its influence and membership wane with the changing demographics and politics of the contemporary Asian American community. Contents1 Early History of the JACL2 Wartime JACL2.1 Staffing and Membership2.2 Wartime Cooperation and Its Consequences2.3 Opposing Dissidents2.4 Other Wartime Actions3 Postwar JACL4 For More Information5 Footnotes Early History of the JACLThe JACL was formed as an umbrella organization that was composed of existing Nisei organizations in California and Washington, including the American Loyalty League, based in Fresno and led by Nisei dentist Thomas T. Yatabe; the Seattle Progressive Citizens League, led by newspaper publisher James Sakamoto; and the San Francisco-based New American Citizens League, led by Nisei lawyer Saburo Kido. The JACL held its first national convention in Seattle in 1930. Despite much debate over the name, especially those who resisted inclusion of \"\"Japanese\"\" in the title, fearing that this would only raise doubts about the organization's loyalties, the newly formed Japanese American Citizens League adopted two initial goals. First they lobbied Congress to amend the Cable Act of 1922 that, among other provisions, stripped women of their citizenship if they married men ineligible for citizenship, or in other words if they married immigrants from Asia. Congress amended the Cable Act in 1931."

Lobbying The process of influencing public and government policy at all levels: federal, state, and local. Lobbying involves the advocacy of an interest that is affected, actually or potentially, by thedecisions of government leaders. Individuals and interest groups alike can lobby governments, andgovernments can even lobby each other. The practice of lobbying is considered so essential to theproper functioning of the U. S. government that it is specifically protected by the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution: \"\"Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the peoplepeaceably … to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. \"\" The practice of lobbying provides a forum for the resolution of conflicts among often diverse andcompeting points of view; provides information, analysis, and opinion to legislators and governmentleaders to allow for informed and balanced decision making; and creates a system of checks andbalances that allows for competition among interest groups, keeping any one group from attaining a permanent position of power. Lobbyists can help the legislative process work more effectively by providing lawmakers with reliable data and accurate assessments of a bill's effect. The role lobbyists play in the legislative arena can be compared to that of lawyers in the judicialarena. Just as lawyers provide the trier of fact (judge or jury) with points of view on the legal issuespertaining to a case, so do lobbyists provide local, state, and federal policymakers with points of view on public policy issues. Although lobbying as a whole serves as a checks-and-balances safeguard on the legislativeprocess, individual lobbyists are not necessarily equal."

Holland & Knight LLPUSA June 1 2016We have observed a significant amount of confusion lately regarding the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended (FARA), and when it applies. FARA was originally enacted to counter Nazi propaganda just prior to World War II, and has remained largely unchanged since. Below we provide a brief primer on FARA and its relationship to the better known Lobbying Disclosure Act. FARA is a foreign agent disclosure statute administered by the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Under FARA, agents of a foreign principal must disclose certain activities, including fees and expenditures. Individuals representing foreign governments or foreign political parties must register under FARA. Foreign Agent An \"\"agent of a foreign principal” or \"\"foreign agent\"\" under FARA is anyone who, on behalf of a \"\"foreign principal,\"\" engages in political activities, acts in a public relations capacity, solicits or dispenses anything of value within the United States, or provides representation before any agency or official of the U.

METHODS: The Ig E serum concentrations in 69 consecutive juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus patients were determined by nephelometry. Ig G, Ig M and Ig A concentrations were measured by immunoturbidimetry. All patients were negative for intestinal parasites. Statistical analysis methods included the Mann-Whitney, chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, as well as the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Increased Ig E concentrations above 100 IU/m L were observed in 31/69 (45%) juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus patients. The mean Ig E concentration was 442.0 ± 163.4 IU/ml (range 3.5-9936.0 IU/ml). Fifteen of the 69 patients had atopic disease, nine patients had severe sepsis and 56 patients presented with nephritis. The mean Ig E level in 54 juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus patients without atopic manifestations was 271.6 ± 699.5 IU/ml, and only nine of the 31 (29%) patients with high Ig E levels had atopic disease.

The term autoimmune is a confusing one. \"\"... your immune system attacks itself by mistake...\"\"Our bodies have an immune system that protects us from foreign invaders that can cause disease and infection; however, if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks itself by mistake, causing serious illness. The immune cells fail to distinguish the body's normal healthy cells from foreign cells and thus try to destroy the normal tissues. The cause of this \"\"mistake\"\" is not well understood. Autoimmune disease can affect a single system or multiple body systems. Autoimmune diseases can affect skin, connective tissue, nerves, muscles, the endocrine system (the system that controls hormones and other chemicals), red blood cells, and the digestive system.

The cause is not fully understood, but in some cases it is thought that autoimmune diseases are triggered by exposure to microorganisms or other environmental causes, especially in people with a genetic predisposition to the disorder. A single organ or multiple organs and tissues may be affected. There are many autoimmune diseases with symptoms that range from mild rashes to life-threatening conditions that attack major organ systems. Though each disease is different, immune-system malfunction is present in all of them. Disease symptoms vary depending on which tissue is targeted for destruction. Symptoms common to all autoimmune disorders include fatigue, dizziness, malaise, and low-grade fever. Autoimmune disorders are frequently classified into organ-specific disorders and non-organ-specific types. Organs and tissues frequently affected include the endocrine gland, such as thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands; components of the blood, such as red blood cells; and the connective tissues, skin, muscles, and joints. In organ-specific disorders, the autoimmune process is directed mostly against one organ."

"text": "\"Lupus: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease driven by inflammation in which the immune system indiscriminately attacks \"\"self-tissues\"\" throughout the body. It is estimated that more than 16,000 people are diagnosed with lupus each year in the United States. Approximately 1.5 million Americans, and 5 million people worldwide, currently live with lupus (Lupus Foundation 2011). Lupus autoimmunity can cause variable symptoms from person to person. Parts of the body frequently affected by lupus include the skin, kidneys, heart and vascular system, nervous system, connective tissues, musculoskeletal system, and other organ systems. The immune system is the primary facilitator of lupus; therefore, its treatment requires a strategy that successfully targets immune cells. Unfortunately, conventional medicine typically relies on global immune suppression to accomplish this goal, inadvertently predisposing patients to potentially deadly infections and a host of troubling side effects. However, advancements in medical technology in recent years have lead to the development of promising new medical therapies for lupus. These include the use of monoclonal antibodies targeted against cells of the immune system responsible for lupus autoimmunity, and stem cell therapy, which aims to replace aberrant immune cells with healthy immune cells in order to suppress autoreactivity. Moreover, mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D may be a critical missing link in virtually all autoimmune diseases, including lupus."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Dermatologic Manifestations of Diseases Associated With ESRDDermatologic Manifestations of Uremia Dermatologic Disorders Associated With Renal Transplantation Show All Media Gallery Tables References Overview Dermatologic manifestations of renal disease are not uncommon findings in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cutaneous examination of patients with ESRD has shown that 50-100% of patients have at least 1 dermatologic condition. A high prevalence of cutaneous disorders is expected, because most patients with ESRD have an underlying disease process with cutaneous manifestations. In addition, uremia and conditions associated with renal replacement therapy are fraught with numerous and, often, relatively unique cutaneous disorders. Consequently, dermatologic manifestations of renal disease may be divided into 3 general categories including: (1) dermatologic manifestations of diseases associated with the development of ESRD, (2) dermatologic manifestations of uremia, and (3) dermatologic disorders associated with renal transplantation. The image below illustrates several uremia-related cutaneous disorders. Hands of a transfusion-dependent patient on long-term hemodialysis. Several uremia-related cutaneous disorders are visible. The pigmentary alteration results from retained urochromes and hemosiderin deposition. The large bullae are consistent with either porphyria cutanea tarda or the bullous disease of dialysis."

FACCChairman, Cardiology Department, Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla, California Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Diego Introduction“Lupus,”or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disorder that may affect many different parts of the body including the skin, joints and kidneys. It is generally not known that lupus can involve the heart in several different and important ways. The heart consists of several different types of tissue including muscle and connective tissue and each of these tissues can be involved by inflammation or scarring. In addition, the blood vessels that supply the heart (as well as other organs) can be similarly damaged leading to premature narrowing of the arteries (hardening of the arteries). Furthermore a connective tissue that surrounds and cushions the heart can become inflamed. The end result of these processed can be the development of chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, swelling of the extremities and other symptoms. Types of Cardiac Involvement Pericarditis The most common presentation of cardiac involvement in lupus is pericarditis. The pericardium is a connective tissue that surrounds the heart and cushions it in the chest. When this becomes inflamed by lupus or other inflammatory dise ases it can cause chest pain. Although the pain of pericarditis can be confused with that of a “heart attack” or myocardial infarction, it is usually quite different and is more like “pleurisy” that is, it is worsened by taking deep breaths and may be made worse by changing positions, leaning forward or lying down."

PLaboratory testing in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) serves several important functions: making a diagnosis, monitoring the activity of the disease, monitoring response to treatment, and detecting side effects of medications. This review of common laboratory testing in SLE will summarize the lab tests most commonly ordered by your rheumatologist and how these tests are interpreted. Because there is no specific test for SLE, your doctor must rely on a number of different factors to make a diagnosis including history, physical exam and laboratory data. The laboratory data therefore plays an essential role. Table 1. LABORATORY ASSESSMENT in lupus LABORATORY TESTS1. General Tests• Urinalysis• Leukocyte Count• Hematocrit• Platelet Count• Creatinine/Blood Chemistry• Plasma Proteins• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate• C-Reactive Protein• Blood Glucose• Cholesterol2.

When the disease occurs, the immune system forms structures called antigen-antibody complexes which can lodge in the body's organs and cause additional symptoms. Lupus can develop at any point in a dog's life and has a variety of symptoms that can make it a difficult condition to diagnose. Two Forms of Lupus in Dogs The two main forms of canine lupus are discoid lupus and systemic lupus. Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE)According to Vet Street.com, the most common type of canine lupus is discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Fortunately, this is the less serious form of the disease and is not known to progress to the systemic form. Collies, Shetland sheepdogs, German shepherds, and huskies develop DLE more often than other breeds. It can occur at any age. Symptoms According to Wendy C. Brooks, DVM, DABVP, the symptoms of DLE are confined to the skin, and almost always involve the top of the nose, an area known as the nasal planum. The first signs that something is wrong may include hair loss or loss of pigment in that area."

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory connective tissue disorder that can involve joints, kidneys, skin, mucous membranes, and blood vessel walls. Problems in the joints, nervous system, blood, skin, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and other tissues and organs can develop. The blood count and the presence of autoimmune antibodies are tested. People with active lupus often need corticosteroids or other drugs that suppress the immune system. About 70 to 90% of people who have lupus are women of child-bearing age, but children (mostly girls), older men and women, and even newborns can also be affected. Lupus occurs in all parts of the world but may be more common among blacks and Asians. The cause of lupus is usually not known. Occasionally, the use of certain drugs (such as hydralazine and procainamide, which are used to treat heart conditions, and isoniazid, which is used to treat tuberculosis) can cause lupus. Drug-induced lupus usually disappears after the drug is stopped."

Literature review current through: Feb 2018. | This topic last updated: Jun 14, 2017. FIBROMYALGIA OVERVIEWFibromyalgia is one of a group of chronic pain disorders that affect connective tissues, including the muscles, ligaments (the tough bands of tissue that bind together the ends of bones), and tendons (which attach muscles to bones). It is a chronic condition that causes widespread muscle pain, \"\"myalgia,\"\" and excessive tenderness in many areas of the body. Many patients also experience fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, and mood disturbances such as depression and anxiety."

Related to lupus vulgaris: scrofuloderma, lupus pernio, lichen scrofulosorum, Tuberculosis verrucosa cutislupus [ loo´pus] a name originally given to a destructive type of skin lesion, implying a local degeneration rather thansystemic involvement. Although the term is frequently used alone to designate lupus vulgaris andsometimes lupus erythematosus, without a modifier it has no meaning. The Latin word lupus meanswolf; erythematosus refers to redness. The name lupus erythematosus has been used since the13th century because physicians thought the shape and color of the skin lesions resembled the bite of a wolf. Currently, there are at least two recognized manifestations of the disease: discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus.chilblain lupus erythematosus a form of discoid lupus erythematosus aggravated by cold,initially resembling chilblains, in which the lesions consist of reddened infiltrated patches on theexposed areas of the body, especially the finger knuckles.cutaneous lupus erythematosus one of the two main types of lupus erythematosus; it mayinvolve only the skin or may precede involvement of other body systems. It may be chronic ( discoid lupus erythematosus ); subacute ( systemic lupus erythematosus ); or acute (characterized by an acute edematous, erythematous eruption, often with systemicexacerbations). The acute form may be the presenting symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus, such as after sun exposure.discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) a superficial inflammation of the skin, marked by redmacules up to 3 to 4 cm in width, and covered with scanty adherent scales, which extend intospreading follicles that fall off and leave scars. The lesions typically form a butterfly pattern overthe bridge of the nose and cheeks, but other areas may be involved, notably the scalp and otherareas that are exposed to light.drug-induced lupus a syndrome closely resembling systemic lupus erythematosus,precipitated by prolonged use of certain drugs, most commonly hydralazine, isoniazid, variousanticonvulsants, and procainamide.lupus erythemato´sus (LE) a group of connective tissue disorders primarily affecting womenaged 20 to 40, comprising a spectrum of clinical forms in which cutaneous disease may occurwith or without systemic involvement.lupus per´nio1. soft, purplish skin lesions on the cheeks, forehead, nose, ears, and digits, frequentlyassociated with bone cysts, which may be the first manifestation of sarcoidosis or occur in the chronic stage of the disease.2."

"text": "Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Bridget Wright Swati Bharadwaj Published: August 2010Contents Definition Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease that has a broad range of clinical manifestations. In SLE, tissue damage in multiple organs is caused by autoantibodies and immune complexes. Because other autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, central nervous system diseases, and fibromyalgia can also manifest with multisystem disease involvement, these other conditions need to be considered when considering a diagnosis of SLE. Back to Top Epidemiology SLE is a disease that can affect persons of all ages and ethnic groups and both sexes, but more than 90% of new patients presenting with SLE are women in the childbearing years. The reported prevalence of SLE is 20-150 per 100,000. In the United States, data from states with large urban populations indicated the prevalence was 104-170 per 100,000 women. 1 This gender disparity is not as prominent in early life (<20 years of age) and later in life (>40 years of age). 2The LUMINA (Lupus in Minority population, Nature versus nurture) cohort is providing a more generalizable database for the epidemiology of SLE. LUMINA is a longitudinal outcome study of patients with SLE. This study does not include patients younger than 17 years."

Upon entering the lumen of a lymphatic capillary, the collected fluid and associated cells (notably white blood cells) is known as lymph. Each lymphatic capillary carries lymph into a lymphatic vessel, which in turn connects to a lymph node. Lymph is ultimately returned to the venous circulation. Lymphatic capillaries are slightly larger in diameter than blood capillaries, and have closed ends (unlike the loop structure of blood capillaries). Their unique structure permits interstitial fluid to flow into them but not out. The ends of the endothelial cells that make up the wall of a lymphatic capillary overlap. When pressure is greater in the interstitial fluid than in lymph, the cells separate slightly, like the opening of a one-way swinging door, and interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic capillary. When pressure is greater inside the lymphatic capillary, the cells adhere more closely, and lymph cannot escape back into interstitial fluid."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the difference between blood plasma, tissue fluid and lymph?2 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The definitions of Plasma, tissue-fluid and lymph are as under. The difference can be understood from these definitions. Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. Plasma is the largest single component of blood, making up about 55% of total blood volume. Serum refers to blood plasma in which clotting factors (such as fibrin) have been removed. Blood plasma contains many vital proteins including fibrinogen, globulins and human serum albumin. Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid, or intercellular fluid) is a solution which bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals. It is one of the two components of extracellular fluid, the other being plasma. On average, a person has about 11 litres (2.42 gallons) of interstitial fluid providing the cells of the body with nutrients and a means of waste removal. The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph fluid from tissues to the circulatory system."

A vascular anomaly is a localized defect in blood vessels that can affect each part of the vasculature ( capillaries, arteries, veins, lymphatics or a combination of these). These defects are characterized by an increased number of vessels and vessels that are both enlarged and sinuous. Some vascular anomalies are congenital and therefore present at birth, others appear within weeks to years after birth and others are acquired by trauma or during pregnancy. Inherited vascular anomalies are also described and often present with a number of lesions that increase with patients’ age. Vascular anomalies can also be a part of a syndrome and, occasionally, they can be acquired by trauma. The estimated prevalence of vascular anomalies is 4.5%. [ 1] Vascular anomalies can occur throughout the whole body (skin, bone, liver, intestines, i.e. ), but in 60% of patients vascular anomalies are localized in the head and neck region. [ 2] Vascular anomalies can present in various ways. Vascular anomalies that are situated deep below the skin, appear blue and are often called cavernous."

Lymphatic vessels are similar to blood vessels, but they don't carry blood. The fluid transported by lymphatic vessels is called lymph. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma that exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymph vessels collect and filter this fluid before directing it toward blood vessels near the heart. It is here that lymph re-enters blood circulation. Returning lymph to the blood helps to maintain normal blood volume and pressure."

Blood that has passed through the capillaries returns to the heart via veins. Capillary walls are largely composed of one layer of epithelial cells connected by tight junctions. Capillaries are extremely numerous. The body most likely contains a billion capillaries, and their total surface area is estimated at 6,300 square meters. Therefore, most cells of the body are near a capillary. In the tissues of the body, metabolically active cells require oxygen and nutrients and give off wastes, including carbon dioxide. During capillary exchange-not including the gas-exchanging surfaces of the lungs-oxygen and nutrients leave a capillary, and cellular wastes, including carbon dioxide, enter a capillary. Certainly, arterial blood contains more oxygen and nutrients than venous blood, and venous blood contains more wastes than arterial blood."

"text": "Owing to intimacy and certain functional similarities, lymphatic system is rightly considered a part of the circulatory system. In this connection, it not only receives its circulatory fluid from the blood, but also returns the same back to the blood. However, its constituent organs are: capillaries, vessels, nodes, ducts and lymph. Similarly, it is assisted by some other organs as well, such as spleen, thymus, tonsils and appendix, which otherwise are considered as a part of the lymphoid system. Given below is a brief description of each of these lymphatic system organs: Lymphatic Capillaries Found in the intercellular spaces throughout your body, lymphatic capillaries are the tiny, thin-walled and blind-ended vessels. However, these are absent in the non-vascular tissues and in the CNS (Central Nervous System). When some of the blood plasma, instead of returning back to the circulatory system, gets accumulated around the body cells in the form of interstitial fluid, it needs to be removed or drained by some other means. This is the time for lymph capillaries to play their role by collecting this left-over liquid and delivering it back to the blood stream. If you compare lymphatic capillaries with those of the blood capillaries, the former have a bit larger diameter than that of the latter. Owing to the unique structure of the lymph capillaries, the interstitial fluid can only penetrate into the interior, but cannot escape out."

The lymphatic system was first described in the seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The human circulatory system processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day through capillary filtration, which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma are reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining three litres remain in the interstitial fluid. One of the main functions of the lymph system is to provide an accessory return route to the blood for the surplus three litres. [ 2]The other main function is that of defense in the immune system.

"text": "\"Difference Between MCSE and MCSA• Categorized under Career and Certifications, Technology | Difference Between MCSE and MCSAMCSE vs MCSAMCSE and MCSA are two certifications that are given to professionals who prove themselves to be competent in handling Microsoft systems. MCSE stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and MCSA stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator. The difference lies in the roles of a system engineer and a system administrator. A systems engineer is trained in designing and building a new network from the ground up and get it running based on the client’s specifications while systems administrator is trained to maintain an already set-up system. Microsoft is the biggest single entity that provides software for servers that run a wide variety of services, from internal company servers to public web servers. But putting up and maintaining these servers are already out of the hands of Microsoft, it is up to the company to hire competent professionals to carry out this job. Microsoft now provides certifications to people who manage to pass their tests. This makes it easier for employers to figure out whether the applicant is competent in working with their servers. Just by the definition of the eventual jobs of each, we can easily deduce that MCSE is harder to get compared to MCSA. Whereas you would only need to take and pass 4 exams to be an MCSA, you would need to take and pass 7 exams to get the MCSE title."

There are hundreds of tech certification programs and exams out there, some sponsored by software vendors, some by vendor-neutral organizations, and some by educational institutions. A number of them are easy to obtain — as evidenced by the many IT pros who list a three-line string of acronyms after their names. You pay your money and you take a multiple-choice test; if you pass, you're in. Others are excruciatingly difficult: Cost is high; eligibility to even take the exam is dependent on having years of experience, formal education, and/or sponsorship from others who already hold the title; and the exams are grueling, multi-day affairs that require hands-on performance of relevant tasks. Most are somewhere in between. But which certifications really provide a measure of your knowledge and skills in a particular area? And which will really help you get a job or promotion? Here's a look at 10 of the technical certifications that actually mean something in today's IT job market.#1: MCSEThe Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification suffered a bad reputation several years back when numerous people were memorizing the answers to exam questions from \"\"brain dumps\"\" posted by test-takers on the Internet and obtaining the certification without any real understanding of the technology.

Sign up Microsoft exams and certifications are among the most common in the IT profession. I rarely see a resume without at least one of them, because they touch on systems and database administration, programming and development, security and communications, and even network services. This has put Microsoft in a unique position to set standards and influence what other exam providers offer. How Microsoft handles testing impacts the general debate about the value of certifications and effectiveness of exam questions. If Microsoft makes its exams too easy or easy to cheat on, its certificates will be devalued, and this does not look good for IT certification in general. There is a delicate balance here, however, because if the exams are too hard, they may become less accurate representations of real-world needs and push people to seek out the wrong methods to help them pass. Recently, Microsoft has made an effort to make its exams much harder. A few months ago, passed four of the new exams to earn my MCSE: Server Infrastructure, MCSA: Windows Server 2012 and MCSA: Private Cloud, so I want to share what I learned from my experience with you."

"text": "\"This FAQ list was compiled for posting to alt.fan.james-bond where there is often much confusion about the Secret Service and its connections with Bond. The FAQ is posted to the newsgroup approximately every two months and is archived here.1: The service1.1 Who does James Bond work for? To put things simply, James Bond works for the British Secret Service; the title On Her Majesty's Secret Service makes this pretty clear. This is the branch of British Intelligence with responsibilities external to the United Kingdom. Two specific designations have been used for the Service - MI7 in Dr No (see q.2.3) and MI6 from Golden Eye onwards (see q.2.2).1.2 What about the real Secret Service? The real British Secret Service is called the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) although it is commonly known as MI6 (the designation from Golden Eye onwards). It is responsible for intelligence activities outside of the UK and as such can be equated to the US CIA at a simplistic level. The SIS is based at Vauxhall Cross in South London, as featured in Golden Eye, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day .1.3 What's Universal Exports? In a number of films Bond is said to work for Universal Exports. This is taken from Ian Fleming's novels."

(US)United International Pictures (International)Release date6 June 1983Running time 131 minutes Country United Kingdom Language English Budget $27.5 million Box office $187.5 million Octopussy is a 1983 British spy film, the thirteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the sixth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's title is taken from a short story in Ian Fleming 's 1966 short story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights, although the film's plot is original. It does, however, include a scene inspired by the Fleming short story \"\"The Property of a Lady\"\" (included in 1967 and later editions of Octopussy and The Living Daylights ), while the events of the short story \"\"Octopussy\"\" form a part of the title character's background and are recounted by her. Bond is assigned the task of following a general who is stealing jewels and relics from the Soviet government. This leads him to a wealthy Afghan prince, Kamal Khan, and his associate, Octopussy, and the discovery of a plot to force disarmament in Western Europe with the use of a nuclear weapon. Octopussy was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, and was released in the same year as the non- Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again."

One version of the theory claims that the crash was an attempt at a faked death that went horribly wrong.2. Evidencea. Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones still lives, but testimony from Mercedes auto experts says that it would have been almost impossible for anyone to have survived a crash in the tunnel in a car going at 121 mph.

Universal Exports' Review After my first 5 or so listens I decided that it's not as terrible as I originally thought. While it is not the traditional Bondian sounding theme that I had hoped would be an homage to the classics of the 60's, it's not that bad. I'm very excited to see it with the actual title sequence on the big screen, as that was the selling point for Chris Cornell's You Know My Name, which I was not a fan of before seeing it in that environment. However, after around 10 more listens I must revert to my thinking it was a terrible idea. One of the things that most excited me when I first heard the news about Keys and White teaming up was the possibility of a classic sounding theme utilizing Keys' amazing vocal range. However, instead the song only gives her 3 solo lines, which she doesn't even get to belt out. The only good parts of the music are when White tries to use the Bond theme in his riffs, and even that sounds a bit too much like Green Day for me. All in all, I think this theme will rank amongst the worst of the entire series!What do you think about Another Way to Die?

The song is especially significant, as it is the first duet James Bond song to be a duet."

He said she wrote about Prince Charles's sex antics with Camilla Parker Bowles, as well as other members of the family. \"\" The dossier she was compiling was powerful stuff.

"text": "\"You Only Live Twice British cinema poster for You Only Live Twice, designed and illustrated by Robert Mc Ginnis and Frank Mc Carthy Directed by Lewis Gilbert Produced by Albert R. Broccoli Harry Saltzman Screenplay by Roald Dahl Story by Harold Jack Bloom (Additional Story Material)Based on You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming Starring Sean Connery Akiko Wakabayashi Tetsuro Tamba Mie Hama Teru Shimada Karin Dor Music by John Barry Cinematography Freddie Young Edited by Peter R. Hunt Production company Eon Productions Distributed by United Artists Release date12 June 1967 (London, premiere)13 June 1967 (United Kingdom)Running time 117 minutes Country United Kingdom Language English Japanese Budget $10.3 million Box office $111.6 million You Only Live Twice is a 1967 British spy film and the fifth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's screenplay was written by Roald Dahl, and loosely based on Ian Fleming 's 1964 novel of the same name. It is the first James Bond film to discard most of Fleming's plot, using only a few characters and locations from the book as the background for an entirely new story. In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. With each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island to find the perpetrators and comes face to face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. The film reveals the appearance of Blofeld, who was previously a partially unseen character. SPECTRE is working for the government of an unnamed Asian power, implied to be the People's Republic of China, to provoke war between the superpowers. [ 1] [2]During the filming in Japan, it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from the role of Bond, but after a hiatus, he returned in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever and later 1983's non-Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again. You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and the 1979 film Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. You Only Live Twice was a great success, receiving positive reviews and grossing over $111 million in worldwide box office."

"text": "\"Angela Watercutter culture 11.28.14 07:00 am9 Secrets About The Imitation Game, Straight From Its Screenwriter Jack English/The Weinstein Company Screenwriter Graham Moore is a self-described Alan Turing obsessive: He went to space camp and computer programming camp as a teenager, so the famed mathematician loomed large, \"\"like a campfire legend or something.\"\" Turing's life ultimately proved so inspirational to Moore that bringing his story to the big screen became a life goal. \"\" Once I became a writer I would go to my agents once a year and say, 'Hey, there's this movie I really want to write about a gay English mathematician who commits suicide after the Second World War,'\"\" Moore remembers. \"\" And they were like, 'That's a big Hollywood movie!' ... No, they did not say that at all. They were like, 'Please don't ever write that; no one will ever finance that movie. '\"\" Nevertheless, when producers Nora Grossman and Ido Ostrowsky got the rights to Andrew Hodges' Turing biography Alan Turing: The Enigma, Moore signed up to write the script—for free. And while he was writing, he was aware that he wanted the screenplay for The Imitation Game, which hits theaters today, to do Turing justice. \"\" There's this responsibility to do it properly and to do it with respect,\"\" Moore says. \"\" Historical accuracy was tremendously important to us. \"\""

"text": "Report into Rudolf Hess death fails to answer unexplained questions about Nazi prisoner's 'suicide'It has been 25 years since leading Nazi Rudolf Hess died in a Berlin prison but a newly-declassified report into how it happened has apparently failed to answer unexplained questions about whether he really did kill himself. Rudolph Hess Photo: PABy John-Paul Ford Rojas and Murray Wardrop7:00AM GMT 17 Mar 2012The publication of what is said to be a suicide note written “a few minutes before my death” by Hitler’s former deputy appears to add weight to claims that it had actually been penned nearly 20 years before when he was seriously ill. Photographs of the “summer house” in the ground of Spandau Prison where the 93-year-old died – and the electrical cord he was said to have used to take his own life – seem to deepen the mystery even further. Conspiracy theories have long suggested that he was murdered and the evidence covered up amid fears he was on the brink of being released – and might disclose embarrassing secrets about his time in British captivity. His son Wolf Hess has claimed that the UK, US and France - who had long said they were prepared to consent to his release were it not for a Soviet veto - feared a new mood of openness in Gorbachev’s Kremlin would call their bluff. He also claimed that the contents of the “suicide” note actually refer to a period in 1969 when he had a perforated ulcer in the duodenum and feared he could die.

Sceptics claim clues in the note suggest it refers to events 20 years earlier. At that time Hess was concerned to express his regrets over his behaviour towards his one-time private secretary “Freiberg”, during the Nuremberg trials when he said: “I had to act as though I didn’t know her. ”The note was also said by his son to have used a sign-off “Euer Grohser”, or “your eldest”, that he had not used for about 20 years."

"text": "Subway Introduction At a Glance Ridership by Subway Station The Ten Busiest Subway Stations 2016Bus Introduction At a Glance Ridership by Bus Route The Ten Busiest Local Bus Routes 2016Introduction to Subway Ridership Subway ridership consists of all passengers (other than NYC Transit employees) who enter the subway system, including passengers who transfer from buses. Ridership does not include passengers who exit the subway or passengers who transfer from other subway lines, with the exception of out-of-system transfers; e.g., between the Lexington Av/63 St station and the Lexington Avenue /59 St station, where customers use their Metro Card to make the transfer. Average weekday, Saturday, and Sunday ridership includes every weekday, Saturday, and Sunday in the year, except major holidays and days when the subway system was closed or operated fare-free (Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28, 2011 due to Hurricane Irene, and Monday, October 29 through Friday, November 2, 2012 due to Superstorm Sandy).

However, the table of ridership by station linked below lists 422 stations, with stations connected by transfer passageways combined into station complexes, since ridership cannot be accurately allocated to each station in the complex. For example, the 14 St station is combined with the 8 Av station. The station names and lines stopping at each station reflect service at the end of 2016, including the 34 St-Hudson Yards station, which opened on September 13, 2015. The three new Second Avenue subway stations are not included in the ridership tables since they opened on January 1, 2017."

"text": "FAQ: Premium Transit Chek Metro Card What is the Premium Transit Chek Metro Card? The Premium Transit Chek Metro Card (Premium Card) is an annual unlimited ride Metro Card. When you enroll in the Premium Card Program, you will receive a Metro Card that can be used for a continuous 12-month period for unlimited rides on MTA subway and local buses. How does the Premium Transit Chek Metro Card Plan work? Upon your enrollment in the Premium Transit Chek Metro Card Plan, Wage Works sets up your Commuter account to hold your monthly pre-tax deductions. The deduction amount is equal to the cost of the MTA 30-Day Unlimited Ride Metro Card, $121.00 as of 3/19/17. Your Premium Card will be issued and mailed to your address after your Commuter account accumulates sufficient funds. As long as your funds remain sufficient and you participate in the program, the card will work for a continuous 12-month period, after which a new card will be issued to cover the next 12-month period. You only have to order your first card. On the 10th day of each month, $121.00 will be debited from your Commuter account to cover the next month cost and thus keep your card active."

Under both plans, the 7-day Metro Card would increase by a dollar, to $31, and 30-Day card would go up by $4.50, to $116.50. One proposal would keep the base fare at $2.50; the other would increase it by 25 cents. ( Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)The MTA has drafted two possible fare-hike schemes for bus and subway riders — one that keeps the $2.50 base fare stable and another that raises it by a quarter. But both models would increase the monthly Metro Card by $4.50. The two scenarios were fashioned in advance of public hearings that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will hold next month. The MTA board may not vote on a final package until January, but the increases would still go into effect as scheduled in March. According to sources, the two fare-hike options are: Option One: The base fare would remain at $2.50, but the 5% bonus would get trimmed. The 7-Day Metro Card goes up a buck, to $31, while the 30-Day Metro Card rises $4.50, to $116.50. Option Two: The base fare is boosted by 25 cents, to $2.75, and the bonus increases from 5% to 11%."

At least six hidden cameras — distinct from the ubiquitous domed video-surveillance cameras easily spotted in stations throughout the city — are located near Metro Card machines, turnstiles and token booths at the 34th Street station as part of a covert MTA surveillance network that monitors commuters. Modal Trigger Some of the pipes above your head in NYC’s subway stations are actually hidden cameras. J. C.

During the MTA Board’s Capital Program Oversight Committee meeting on Monday, one board member asked MTA CEO and Chair Tom Prendergast if the agency should continue work on East Side Access. The news out of the meeting was grim as the worst-case estimate came with a $10.772 billion price tag and a late 2023 completion date. With the delays mounting, Prendergast unequivocally expressed his support for the work. A plan to bring the Long Island Rail Road to the East Side has been part of the MTA’s mission since its founding in 1968, and the agency isn’t about to give up now. It isn’t quite as simple or noble as Prendergast makes it out to be. Yes, East Side Access in some form or another has been around since the 1960s when the 63rd St. tunnel was designed and then constructed with a lower level for commuter rail trains. But the truth is that the MTA has already sunk billions into this project, has already dug out tunnels from Queens to Manhattan, has already made progress on the caverns and would owe the feds a significant amount of money if the project were to go kaput. The politics and economics of it have left the MTA in a tight spot: damned if you do, damned if you don’t. With that said, Monday’s meeting wasn’t just a pro forma attempt to save face."

If your ticket costs more than $255, you may want to choose a $255 payment (the pretax monthly limit for transit purchases in 2016). If you choose an amount greater than $255, you will reduce the amount that the Mail&Ride program will need to recover through your current payment mechanism (e.g., your credit card or debit card). For example, if your ticket costs $455 and you set up a payment for $255 through this option, your current credit card or debit on file with the Mail&Ride program will be charged for any balance due, which in this example is $200. What happens if I forget to cancel my payment through this program but I cancel my ticket through the Mail&Ride program? Your payment will be sent to the Mail&Ride program and will be carried forward as a credit on your account which can be used in future months. Refund requests must be submitted to LIRR. Wage Works will credit any pre-tax funds to your Wage Works account and any post tax funds will be returned in the form of a check. Why would I want to sign-up for the Mail&Ride program? Many participants like to take advantage of the special discounts available through the Mail&Ride program and like the convenience of having the pass delivered to their home so they don't have to wait in line to purchase their pass at the beginning of each month."

"text": "Press Release November 17, 2014MTA Headquarters IMMEDIATE MTA Announces Limited Fare and Toll Proposals Budget Discipline Reduces Changes to Equivalent of 2% a Year The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today unveiled proposals to increase fares and tolls by 4% over the next two years. Despite rising operational costs, the MTA’s continued budget discipline and increased ridership allow the MTA to limit fare and toll increases to the equivalent of 2% a year. “The MTA is keeping its promise to ensure fare and toll increases are as low as possible, and these options are designed to minimize their impact on our customers,” said MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast. “ We have cut more than $1 billion from our ongoing expenses, but a modest fare and toll increase is necessary to balance our budget against the increased costs of providing the bus, subway, railroad and paratransit service that is the backbone of the region’s mobility and economic growth. ”The new fare and toll proposals will be the subject of public hearings in December, and the MTA Board will review public input and may modify the proposals before voting on them in January 2015. They are scheduled to take effect in March 2015. The MTA has cut $1.1 billion from its annual spending, with more cuts planned every year to bring annual savings to $1.5 billion by 2017. Fare and toll revenues cover only 52% of the MTA’s $13 billion operating budget. Following are details of the fare and toll options for each MTA service. New York City Subway and Buses The MTA offers several ways to pay for rides on subways, buses and the Staten Island Railway: Single Ride Tickets, Pay-Per-Ride Metro Cards, Unlimited Ride Metro Cards, and cash on buses only."

( Susan Watts/New York Daily News)The $3 subway ride is looming and could be a reality next year. The MTA on Wednesday issued a financial plan that includes an all but definite fare hike in 2017, with the aim of raising more than $300 million annually for a transit system struggling to provide reliable service. Just how the MTA comes up with a cash infusion — tweaking Metro Card and commuter rail prices as well as bridge and tunnel tolls — is up to agency officials. The subways have been overcrowded, but riders have seen a decline in service. ( Richard Harbus/for New York Daily News)But if past fare increases are a guide, MTA officials could well suggest that the base $2.75 fare go up a quarter to $3, according to Jamison Dague of the nonprofit, Citizens Budget Commission. Raising the price of an unlimited ride Metro Card is on the table, too. L train shutdown needs a concrete plan for alternatives: pols“Usually, in all of these options, the MTA is careful to ensure that everyone has some sort of shared pain here when it comes to a fare increase,” said Dague, the commission’s director of infrastructure studies. MTA brass stressed that the fare hike is part of a budget projection and that the forecast could change when the numbers are crunched again in November. It's not clear how much more commuters will have to pay in tolls. ("

Although hair loss is a normal part of aging, it doesn’t mean it isn’t frustrating or embarrassing to deal with. The level and severity of hair loss can be both minor and severe, ranging from thinning hair to large, visible bald spots or permanent hair loss. So, if you suffer from hair loss and are actively seeking a hair loss treatment, you aren’t alone. In fact, more than 800,000 hair loss sufferers are currently seeking professional anti-hair loss treatment or are experimenting with over-the-counter shampoos, conditioners, essential oils, supplements, medications or other hair loss treatments. Although some of these treatment options may work for some individuals, not everyone will see the same success. Not only do natural hair loss products help combat hair loss and help restore healthy hair growth, they are often more cost effective than other products or procedures, such as hair transplants. In fact, one of the best (and probably most surprising) natural remedies to proper hair care is guava leaves. Can Guava Leaves Really Help Healthy Hair Growth?

Those who are avid bakers will know which nuts are best to use in the different breads and pastries that they make. Some folks prefer one type of nut over another because of its taste but there’s one nut that people tend to shy away from and that is the macadamia. This is not because it has an unpleasant taste. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The macadamia nut is one of the best tasting nuts in the world and that’s just one reason why it is the most expensive nut in the world. Although the nut is native to Australia, Hawaii produces the most macadamia nuts. A contributor to the price of the nut is the fact that the kernel can be comprised of eighty percent oil. This oil, which is often used in place of mink oil, is especially useful in cosmetics and other skin care products. The macadamia tree also does not start producing viable nuts until it is seven to ten years old, giving harvesters one more reason to charge so much."

I’m super proud of the fact it’s an effective recipe, made along with my friend Michelle who is a local holistic health nutritionist . We are not doctors, experts in the field of cancer or product manufacturing, but we are two moms on a journey to remove products we see as possibly harmful for our 6 children combined. What changed my thoughts over the last year from buying organic sunscreen to making my own? There have only been a few times in my life where I totally couldn’t wrap my mind around subjects that should have been easy. Sunscreen has always been one of them. Long time Mommy Footprint readers will know how many sunscreen articles I’ve written trying to get to the bottom of ingredients and why titanium dioxide vs zinc oxide are better choices. The topics of 1) preservatives that make products shelf-life stable and 2) nanoparticles and non-nanoparticles are confusing topics that haven’t been researched enough for my liking. And once you remove the zinc and titanium ingredients from organic sunscreen, you start actually looking at ingredients you are left with and think “Hey – I could make this!” It’s very empowering to find your own ingredients that you can pronounce and understand how each one works within a recipe like sunscreen."

"text": "\"Features7 Nut and Seed Butters for Your Pantry Miki Kawasaki Profile Twitter Contact16 Printer-Friendly Version [Photograph: Miki Kawasaki]It wasn't long ago that buying nut butter at the supermarket meant little more than the choice between smooth or crunchy (and rarely anything other than peanut). Maybe, if you were so inclined, you could grab the \"\"natural\"\" stuff in glass jars. And if you wanted to be truly daring, you could seek out Nutella, with its promises of European, hazelnut-laden decadence. Oh, how times have changed. On the shelves where you used to find little more than Jif and Skippy, there's now a dauntingly vast array of spreads. Like the non-dairy milk phenomenon that preceded it, the non-peanut nut butter movement started out as a few modest soy and almond based offerings, but soon blossomed into a wave of products made from increasingly eclectic ingredients and fancied up with all manner of add-ins. Although this proliferation of nut and seed butters has been spurred, in part, by an increasing awareness of peanut and other food allergies, it's not the only driving force. There are a number of reasons why you might want to consider these spreads, even if it isn't a dietary necessity. Want to add a bit of moisture and texture to a cake? Go for almond butter."

This includes true nuts like chestnuts and acorns, but also things that botanists would class as seeds, like Brazil nuts, or legumes, like peanuts. Nuts are usually high in fat and protein, and people throughout the world eat them as snacks or incorporate them into both sweet and savory dishes. Many nuts can be eaten raw but roasting them helps intensify their flavor. Nuts are usually harvested in the fall, and it's best to buy unprocessed nuts then. Many unshelled nuts can be kept for up to a year in a cool place, but shelled nuts, especially those that have been cut or roasted, are more prone to rancidity and should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container. Substitutes: Grape-nuts cereal OR dried fruit OR granola OR rolled oats (toast them first) OR chocolate chips (in sweet dishes)Varieties:acorn Notes: These nuts come from oak trees, and they were once an important food for Native Americans. Before they can be eaten, most acorns need to be treated to remove the bitter tannins in them. To do this, boil whole shelled acorns in water, replacing the water with fresh boiling water whenever it turns light brown. Keep doing this for about two hours, until the water no longer changes color."

Harvesting the nuts is a dangerous occupation because the heavy, falling pods cannot be seen as they crash to the ground. The pods contain between 8-24 nuts that are each enclosed in individual shells. These pods are generally opened on the spot, and the nuts move down the river, through various collection points to central gathering areas in the sea towns. Shelled nuts are graded and packed for export while the whole nuts are loaded on ships where they are ventilated and dried on their way to world markets.

Before my journey into holistic skin care and natural health, I used to diligently avoid any skincare product that contained oil. The right types of skincare oils, however, work better than oil-free products to normalize oil production, reduce the signs of aging, and refine the skins texture. When selected according to skin type, natural oils do not cause oily skin or clog pores. Only when we use synthetic oils (like mineral oil) or some heavy (comedogenic) oils do we run into these problems. In the past, I’ve experimented with numerous oils commonly used for skincare: coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, argan oil and many more. Greatly disheartened, I experienced breakouts with all of these oils and I found that jojoba oil was the only oil that did not break me out. Recently, when I tried macadamia oil ( this exact one) with no high expectations, I was amazed that it didn’t break me out. I began using macadamia oil in my skincare routine with fantastic results. While all skin types and individuals react differently to skincare oils, macadamia oil seems to be excellently tolerated by the vast majority."

On the skin it calms itching and has a stimulant action on the mind. Oil properties It has a similar aroma to that of peppermint oil, but is slightly sweeter and is pale yellow to greenish in color. Origin of spearmint oilit is a native of the Mediterranean area, and is a hardy perennial herb that reaches about 1 meter (3 feet) in height and has bright green lance-shaped, sharply serrated leaves and pink or lilac-colored flowers. Unlike peppermint, spearmint does not contain high amounts of menthol. The ancient Greeks used it to scent their bath water and it had a reputation for curing sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea. During the medieval times it was used to heal sore gums and also to whiten teeth. Extraction Spearmint oil is extracted by steam distilling the flowering tops. Chemical composition The main chemical components of spearmint oil are a-pinene, b-pinene, carvone, 1,8-cineole, linalool, limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene and menthol (0.5% compared to the 40% in peppermint)Precautions It is considered a non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil Therapeutic properties The therapeutic properties of spearmint oil are antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, cephalic, emmenagogue, insecticide, restorative and stimulant. Uses When your mind is tired and in need of stimulating and upliftment, then spearmint oil is the one for you, and although it has very many properties in common to that of peppermint oil, it contains only small amounts of menthol and is far less harsh on the skin and ideal for use in children."

Oil properties Eucalyptus has a clear, sharp, fresh and very distinctive smell, is pale yellow in color and watery in viscosity. Origin of eucalyptus oil The Australian Blue-gum can sometimes reaches a height of 100 meters (300 feet), making it one of the highest trees in the world. There are over 500 species of Eucalyptus trees, with tough long and narrow blue-green leaves, creamy white flowers and smooth pale bark. The 'eu' and 'kalypto' means 'well' and 'covered' in Greek, referring to the cup-like membrane that covers the flower bud, which is thrown off as the flower expands. The Australian Aborigines calls it 'kino' and they use the leaves to cover serious wounds. Eucalyptus oil was introduced to Europe in 1788, and the first oil exported to England was called 'Sydney peppermint'. It was extracted from Eucalyptus peperita which is a more industrial type of oil. The tree uses a lot of water while growing and has been used to clear water-logged land, draining the water from swamps where malaria mosquito may be found."

These large phagocytes are found in essentially all tissues, [3] where they patrol for potential pathogens by amoeboid movement. They take various forms (with various names) throughout the body (e.g., histiocytes, Kupffer cells, alveolar macrophages, microglia, and others), but all are part of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Besides phagocytosis, they play a critical role in nonspecific defense ( innate immunity) and also help initiate specific defense mechanisms ( adaptive immunity) by recruiting other immune cells such as lymphocytes. For example, they are important as antigen presenters to T cells. In humans, dysfunctional macrophages cause severe diseases such as chronic granulomatous disease that result in frequent infections. Beyond increasing inflammation and stimulating the immune system, macrophages also play an important anti-inflammatory role and can decrease immune reactions through the release of cytokines."

The immune response helps protect the body from disease, infection, and cancer. The immune system is a complex network of cells, proteins, tissues, and organs in the body that work together to fight off harmful substances and disease-causing microorganisms, called pathogens. The immune system is also responsible for allergic reactions. An allergic reaction occurs when the body overreacts to substances called allergens, which are normally harmless in healthy individuals. For instance, if the immune system mistakes substances, such as pollen, fungus spores, parasites, or animal dander, for a harmful invader, the body will launch an attack. This reaction causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and hives. If the immune system is not functioning properly, individuals are more susceptible to diseases, infections, and cancers. This is because the immune system is the body's first line of defense against these conditions. Some patients may be born with immune disorders, such as Nijmegen breakage syndrome."

The intention here is to provide the general basics of how the immune system components work together to “fight” invasive pathogens. By understanding the basics of the immune system, choices that strengthen immunity against new pathogens can be made. Brief History Historically the subject of immunity is ancient, and evolved from the study of resistance to infection. Recent contributions to immunology have come from related branches of science such as biochemistry, anatomy, developmental biology, genetics, pharmacology, pathology, and of late, bioengineering. In addition, the study of clinical entities such as allergies, infectious diseases, organ transplants, rheumatology, immune deficiency diseases, holistic medicine, complimentary medicine, and oncology, have also contributed to new understandings of the complexities associated with immunity. Less than 50 years ago, surprisingly, immunology was barely mentioned; it was not considered to be of importance to most clinicians. At that time, clinicians were mainly physicians and nurses, without the many clinical specialties of today. In fact, the study of holistic medicine or the study of stress and its effects on physical health was given little or no credence."

Macrophages also play a role in alerting the immune system to the presence of invaders. Macrophage function in detail Phagocytosis The term phagocytosis is formed form the Greek words \"\"phagein\"\" meaning to eat, \"\"kytos\"\" or cell and \"\"osis\"\" which means process. Phagocytosis is the term used to describe the engulfing and destroying of defective or microbial cells. When inflammation occurs, monocytes undergo a series of changes to become macrophages and target cells that need eliminating. Once engulfed, cellular enzymes inside the macrophage destroy the ingested particle. Some macrophages act as scavengers, removing dead or necrotic cells while others provide host immunity by engulfing microbes. An ingested microbe or dead cell is engulfed in what is called a phagosome, a vesicle which is formed around the microbe by the cell membrane. This then fuses with a lysosome, another specialized vesicle that contains digestive enzymes for disintegrating the contents of the phagosome."

"text": "\"Print this Page To search the entire book, enter a term or phrase in the form below Custom Search Bacterial Defense against Phagocytosis© Kenneth Todar, Ph DIntroduction Some pathogenic bacteria are inherently able to resist the bactericidal components of host tissues, usually as a function of some structural property. For example, the poly-D-glutamate capsule of Bacillus anthracis protects the organisms against action of cationic proteins (defensins) in sera or in phagocytes. The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is a permeability barrier to lysozyme and is not easily penetrated by hydrophobic compounds such as bile salts in the GI tract that are harmful to the bacteria. Pathogenic mycobacteria have a waxy cell wall that resists attack or digestion by most tissue bactericides. And intact lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative pathogens may protect the cells from complement-mediated lysis or the action of lysozyme. Most successful pathogens, however, possess additional structural or biochemical features that allow them to resist the host cellular defense against them, i.e., the phagocytic and immune responses. If a pathogen breaches the host's surface defenses, it must then overcome the host's phagocytic response to succeed in an infection. Ability of Pathogens to Avoid or Overcome Phagocytes Microorganisms invading tissues are first and foremost exposed to phagocytes. Bacteria that readily attract phagocytes and that are easily ingested and killed are generally unsuccessful as pathogens. In contrast, most bacteria that are successful as pathogens interfere to some extent with the activities of phagocytes or in some way avoid their attention."

Human immunity is made up of many different cells and molecules, each with its own particular function. A subgroup of immune system cells are known as white blood cells, and macrophages are part of this group. A macrophage's job is to ingest things that it recognizes as foreign and to clean up scraps of dead host cells. It does this through phagocytosis, which comes from the Greek words phago and cyte, which mean \"\"eat\"\" and \"\"cell,\"\" respectively. The macrophage engulfs the item and, once it is inside the cell, breaks it down with enzymes into manageable molecules. Macrophages can move around, which makes it easier to get to the target item.

There are three lines of defense: the first is to keep invaders out (through skin, mucus membranes, etc), the second line of defense consists of non-specific ways to defend against pathogens that have broken through the first line of defense (such as with inflammatory response and fever). The third line of defense is mounted against specific pathogens that are causing disease (B cells produce antibodies against bacteria or viruses in the extracellular fluid, while T cells kill cells that have become infected). The immune system is closely tied to the lymphatic system, with B and T lymphocytes being found primarily within lymph nodes. Tonsils and the thymus gland are also considered lymph organs and are involved in immunity. We often don't realize how effective the immune system is until it fails or malfunctions, such as when the lymphocytes are attacked by HIV in an AIDS patient.

While we are very aware of our heart beating and the breaths we take, we are much less aware of our immune system that protects us from thousands of potentially deadly attacks every day. In this chapter we will discuss the immune system we each possess that is working around the clock, protecting us from disease and death. A good way to start understanding the immune system is to liken it to a castle."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the process of a white blood cell destroying bacteria called?is there a name for the process of white blood cells fighting disease and if so what is it??? please and thank you :-)Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are numerous other defense mechanisms that become active prior to Phagocytosis. Leukocytes (white blood cells) act like independent, single-celled organisms and are the second arm of the innate immune system. The innate leukocytes include the phagocytes (macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells), mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and natural killer cells. These cells identify and eliminate pathogens, either by attacking larger pathogens through contact or by engulfing and then killing microorganisms. Innate cells are also important mediators in the activation of the adaptive immune system. Phagocytosis is an important feature of cellular innate immunity performed by cells called 'phagocytes' that engulf, or eat, pathogens or particles. Phagocytes generally patrol the body searching for pathogens, but can be called to specific locations by cytokines. Once a pathogen has been engulfed by a phagocyte, it becomes trapped in an intracellular vesicle called a phagosome, which subsequently fuses with another vesicle called a lysosome to form a phagolysosome. The pathogen is killed by the activity of digestive enzymes or following a respiratory burst that releases free radicals into the phagolysosome."

Macrophages are usually immobile but become actively mobile when stimulated by inflammation. Their functions include phagocytosis and pinocytosis, presentation of antigens to T and B lymphocytes, and secretion of a variety of products, including enzymes, several complementcomponents and coagulation factors, some prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and several regulatorymolecules.

Like numerous clinically-diagnosed psychopaths, Jafar wears a metaphorical mask of normalcy throughout the film, establishing himself as a cool-headed schemer and gaining the trust of those around him, despite his rather untrustworthy physical appearance. Even with this mask, Jafar's psychopathic tendencies tend to seep through and become apparent to the viewer, particularly in the opening sequence, where Jafar, outside of immediate initial anger over Gazeem the thief not being the one who is the Diamond in the Rough and thus being killed, displays no remorse in sending Gazeem to his death in the Cave of Wonders, simply proclaiming that \"\"Gazeem was obviously less than worthy\"\" in a rather dry tone of voice. The deleted song, \"\"Humiliate the Boy\"\" also establishes Jafar as an emotional sadist, getting a laugh out of seeing \"\"another fellow's dreams turn into nightmares one by one\"\" and treating the Genie in an especially harsh manner."

"text": "\"2015 February Volume: XXXIX Issue: 2 Table of Contents GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY AND FUNCTIONAL BOWEL DISORDERS, #6Median Arcuate Ligament Syndromeby Ihsan Al-Bayati, Richard W. Mc Callum In this article, we discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), an uncommon disorder characterized by epigastric abdominal pain accentuated by meals and weight loss associated with nausea,vomiting and gastroparesis. Median arcuate ligament syndrome is an uncommon disorder first described in the 1960s. It is characterized by epigastric abdominal pain accentuated by meals and weight loss associated with nausea, vomiting and gastroparesis. Abnormal gastric electrical rhythm has also been reported. Abdominal bruit is a striking feature that is present in some cases. It is a diagnosis of exclusion that should be considered when there is a subjective presentation of severe epigastric and right upper quadrant abdominal pain which is out of proportion to objective findings. Whether using Doppler study, CT angiography, MRA or angiography, the main and most important goal is assessing both inspiratory and expiratory phases of the celiac artery to demonstrate reduction in the compression during inspiration. The treatment is surgical release of the median arcuate ligament to achieve decompression of the celiac artery and the celiac plexus. An evolving role for endoscopic ultrasound both in diagnosis and management is also discussed. Ihsan Al-Bayati, MD, First Year Resident, Department of Internal Medicine, Texas Tech University, Paul L. Foster School of Medicine Richard W. Mc Callum, MD, Professor and Founding Chair of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine Director, Center of Neurogastroenterology and GI Motility, El Paso, TXINTRODUCTIONMedian arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS), Dunbar syndrome and celiac axis syndrome is a cause of chronic epigastric and right upper quadrant abdominal pain that is explained by the median arcuate ligament, a fibrous tissue connecting the two crura of the diaphragm, compressing the celiac artery and its companion structure, the celiac ganglion.1 Theories explaining the pathophysiology of the disease suggest either neurogenic or vascular origin.2 The clinical presentation is with abdominal pain, weight loss and gastroparesis."

The teenage sons and daughters of Disney's most infamous villains star in Disney's \"\"Descendants,\"\" which is sort of like \"\"High School Musical\"\" plus \"\"Once Upon a Time. \"\" By Hillary Busis Aug 01, 2015First of all: What exactly is Descendants, a Disney Channel Original Movie that premiered Friday night? Well, imagine Once Upon a Time — a show about Disney's intellectual property coexisting with various public domain characters in a town called Storybrooke — except instead of being sexy adults, everyone's a sexy teenager. Twice Upon a Time, if you will. See also: 12 live-action Disney films that are coming whether you like it or not The movie finds the sons and daughters of Disney's most famous heroes and villains — including Beauty and the Beast, Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty, Jafar, Dopey the Dwarf, Cruella de Vil, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, the Evil Queen from Snow White, and even Mulan — living together in the same universe, one where the good guys reside in a technicolor fairy tale kingdom called Auradon and the bad guys have been banished to the dreary Isle of the Lost. The action begins when four of the island's villain spawn are invited to attend Auradon Prep with the children of the heroes — and prove that they aren't tainted by the sins of their parents. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Maybe ... until you actually start watching. Then you might find yourself waaaay overthinking things, and plagued with endless questions."

Mallory is indeed a French surname coming over to England with the Normans. Almost all Norman surnames were derived from a place name, and Mallory is no exception. There were at least two villages in France at that time called \"\"Meillorie\"\" (possible spelling). This village name is again derived from the linen breaking mills (meillories in French) that were located at these villages. Meillorie is from the ancient Latin root 'molere' (mele-), meaning to crush or grind with a turning motion, a mill. Simple deduction leads to the conclusion that, far from meaning 'unfortunate', Mallory means 'crusher'! ― biloxi33406 9/7/2005As I understand it, the reason experts on surnames believe that Mallory comes from the Old French word for \"\"unlucky\"\" is that all the earliest examples give the surname without any preposition. If it came from a place name, one would expect to find examples of persons with the name in medieval records where the name was given as \"\"de Maloret\"\"."

Humans occasionally become infected with Plasmodium species that normally infect animals, such as P. knowlesi. As yet, there are no reports of human-mosquitohuman transmission of such “zoonotic” forms of malaria. Transmission The malaria parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which bite mainly between dusk and dawn. Nature of the disease Malaria is an acute febrile illness with an incubation period of 7 days or longer. Thus, a febrile illness developing less than 1 week after the first possible exposure is not malaria. The most severe form is caused by P. falciparum; variable clinical features include fever, chills, headache, muscular aching and weakness, vomiting, cough, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Other symptoms related to organ failure may supervene, such as acute renal failure, pulmonary oedema, generalized convulsions, circulatory collapse, followed by coma and death. The initial symptoms, which may be mild, may not be easy to recognize as being due to malaria."

From the 1940s through about 1970, it was disappearing. Insecticides, or insect-killing chemicals, had been developed for killing the mosquitoes that carry malaria before they could spread the disease. In addition, an inexpensive medicine called chloroquine had been developed for killing the malaria parasite after humans had been infected. Then things took a turn for the worse. Most species of the mosquitoes that carry malaria developed resistance to at least one insecticide. This means that they could no longer be killed by it. In addition, many strains of the malaria parasite developed resistance to chloroquine and other drugs. At the same time, there was a rise in global travel and trade that spread these drug-resistant parasites around the world."

[ 3] About 460 species are recognised; while over 100 can transmit human malaria, only 30–40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria in humans in endemic areas. Anopheles gambiae is one of the best known, because of its predominant role in the transmission of the most dangerous malaria parasite species (to humans) – Plasmodium falciparum.

Some species of Anopheles also can serve as the vectors for canine heartworm Dirofilaria immitis, the filariasis -causing species Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi, and viruses such as one that causes O'nyong'nyong fever. An association of brain tumor incidence and malaria suggests the Anopheles might transmit a virus or other agent that could cause a brain tumor.

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans. People who get malaria are typically very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. Four kinds of malaria parasites infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. In addition, P. knowlesi, a type of malaria that naturally infects macaques in Southeast Asia, also infects humans, causing malaria that is transmitted from animal to human (“zoonotic” malaria). P. falciparum is the type of malaria that is most likely to result in severe infections and if not promptly treated, may lead to death. Although malaria can be a deadly disease, illness and death from malaria can usually be prevented. About 1,700 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. The vast majority of cases in the United States are in travelers and immigrants returning from parts of the world where malaria transmission occurs, including sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that in 2016, 216 million clinical cases of malaria occurred, and 445,000 people died of malaria, most of them children in Africa."

As a global killer it is second only to TB (tuberculosis). It is especially dangerous to young children and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. Causative organism: Plasmodium species Malaria is caused by a microscopic single-celled organism - a protoctistan (also known as a protozoan) - living in the blood and also inside body organs. There are actually 4 different species: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale . There are numerous differences in the details of their life cycles. P. vivax is the most widely distributed species ( between latitudes 60° N and 30° S), whereas P. falciparum, found in tropical areas, has more drastic effects and is sometimes known as malignant malaria. Vector: the Anopheles mosquito Malaria is spread from person to person by (bites from) a mosquito - specifically Anopheles, and in Africa one main species: Anopheles gambiae. Like other mosquitoes, this species has an aquatic life-cycle involving eggs laid on the water surface hatching into larvae which live and feed beneath the water, but which occasionally visit the surface to take in atmospheric air via tubes at the tail end. The larvae turn into pupae which also move in the water, and these in turn metamorphose into adults which leave the water and fly away (usually not far from water)."

There are four identified species of Plasmodium, namely, P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale and P. malariae: P.falciparum being the most fatal one. The life cycle of Plasmodium inside human body begins with a series of asexual divisions in liver and then red blood cells. The sporozoites, injected by the infected female Anopheles mosquito, are carried to the liver, where they undergo asexual forms known as exoerythrocytic schizogony to form merozoites. When these infected liver cells burst, merozoites are released into the blood, where they invade red blood cells. After invading the erythrocyte, merozoite de-differentiates into a round trophozoite form. The young trophozoite or the ring stage grows substantially to form schizont. Finally, it undergoes 4-5 rounds of binary divisions during the schizont stage, producing 8-36 new merozoites that burst from the host cell to invade new erythrocytes, beginning another round of infection. This phase of the infection (erythrocytic schizogony) is responsible for malaria pathogenesis. The parasites multiply within red blood cells, causing symptoms that include symptoms of anemia (light-headedness, shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc. ),"

[ 3] It causes the disease's most dangerous form called falciparum malaria. [ 4] [5] It is therefore regarded as the deadliest parasite in humans, causing a conservative estimate of one million deaths every year. [ 6] It is also associated with the development of blood cancer ( Burkitt's lymphoma) and is clasiified as Group 2A carcinogen. The species originated from the malarial parasite Laverania found in gorillas, around 10,000 years ago. Alphonse Laveran was the first to identify the parasite in 1880, and named it Oscillaria malariae. Ronald Ross discovered its transmission by mosquito in 1897. Giovanni Battista Grassi elucidated the complete transmission from a female anopheline mosquito to humans in 1898."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases Malaria The disease malaria is caused by what organism? Flag The disease malaria is caused by what organism? Answer by Fwmh Confidence votes 110KA microorganism called Plasmodium falciparum (a parasitic protist) causes the most common strand of the disease. There are other variants in Asian and southern American countries that cause similar symptoms and are caused by closely related species of the genus Plasmodium. The parasitic protist infects people through the bite of a mosquito, and therefore the mosquito acts as a vector, carrying the disease without actually causing it. The mosquito species vary in different locations but the relationship is quite specific i.e., each mosquito carries its own strain of Plasmodium. Malaria is caused by the bite of a female mosquito. Female mosquitoes are silent, so they are not easy to spot. When a female mosquito bites an infected person, a little bit of blood is taken, which contains malaria parasites. These parasites will develop in the mosquito, and after about a week or so, when the mosquito bites once more, the person bitten will be injected with the parasites via the mosquitoes saliva."

I don ’ t want these kids to keep him on the pedestal, I don ’ t want them to feel his goals are unattainable. I ’ ll remind them that at their age he was doing time. ” The powerful messages of Malcolm X, his dramatic life, and his tragic assassination conspire to make him an unreachable hero. Events in the 1960s provided four hero-martyrs of this kind for Americans: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X. These idealistic men believed in the possibilities for social change, the necessity of that change, and the truth of his vision of change. Of the four, Malcolm came from the humblest roots, was the most radical, most outspoken, and angriest — “ All Negroes are angry, and I am the angriest of all, ” he often would say. The powerful speaker gathered huge crowds around him when he was associated with Elijah Muhammad ’ s Lost-Found Nation of Islam movement, and afterwards with Malcolm X ’ s own organization. Many Americans, white and black, were afraid of the violent side of Malcolm X ’ s rhetoric — unlike Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. ’ s, doctrine of non-violent resistance, Malcolm X believed in self-defense. But Malcolm X cannot be summed up in a few convenient phrases, because during his life he went through distinct changes in his philosophies and convictions."

It is hoped that all who come to know her may be inspired by her Christian charity and exemplary life. Nine hundred years after Queen Margaret lived and ruled with her husband King Malcolm III the people of Scotland still revere her as their patron and admire her many qualities which had such a profound beneficial effect on the country of her adoption. In an age where the role of women in our society has only recently been seen as emerging to a truly equal status it is a matter of some wonder that nine centuries ago Margaret was to wield such an enormous influence in the life of her people on so many different and yet powerfully important levels. At court, in the life of the Church, in domestic and international affairs her influence would be seen and can still be discerned centuries after her death. It is a great privilege therefore to make her life known through this little booklet that once more we can truly benefit from her wonderful example and lasting witness as a woman of deep Christian faith who followed her path of destiny and paced them closely to her Lord and God, not rejecting her role as sovereign and lady, but neither setting so much store by them as to lose sight of her eternal destiny. It is from the viewpoint of this wider back-cloth that her life takes it's true meaning and her actions and aspirations come into focus and find their ultimate context. . . Fr. David M. Barr P. P.

For many years he was a major proponent of the Nation of Islam, espousing black supremacy, the separation of black and white Americans, and scoffing at the civil rights movement's emphasis on racial integration. By March 1964 he had grown disillusioned with the Nation of Islam and ultimately repudiated its teachings, embracing Sunni Islam; while continuing to emphasize Pan-Africanism, black self-determination, and black self-defense, disavowing racism."

S.—died February 21, 1965, New York, New York), African American leader and prominent figure in the Nation of Islam who articulated concepts of race pride and black nationalism in the early 1960s. After his assassination, the widespread distribution of his life story— The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965)—made him an ideological hero, especially among black youth. Early years and conversion Born in Nebraska, while an infant Malcolm moved with his family to Lansing, Michigan. When Malcolm was six years old, his father, the Rev. Earl Little, a Baptist minister and former supporter of the early black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey, died after being hit by a streetcar, quite possibly the victim of murder by whites. The surviving family was so poor that Malcolm’s mother, Louise Little, resorted to cooking dandelion greens from the street to feed her children. After she was committed to an insane asylum in 1939, Malcolm and his siblings were sent to foster homes or to live with family members. Malcolm excelled in school, but after one of his eighth-grade teachers told him that he should become a carpenter instead of a lawyer, he lost interest and soon ended his formal education. As a rebellious youngster, Malcolm moved from the Michigan State Detention Home, a juvenile home in Mason, Michigan, to the Roxbury section of Boston to live with an older half sister, Ella, from his father’s first marriage. There he became involved in petty criminal activities in his teenage years. Known as “Detroit Red” for the reddish tinge in his hair, he developed into a street hustler, drug dealer, and leader of a gang of thieves in Roxbury and Harlem (in New York City)."

"text": "Keith Edward Bernard, Thinker, Creator, Troublemaker. Updated Feb 9, 2015Let me start by saying that I only mean to answer this question from a personal perspective. I'm not an academic, so I won’t attempt to provide a thorough analysis of Malcolm X's speeches or deeds. Neither will I discuss his overall impact on U. S. history, race relations, or pop culture, although his presence has most certainly been felt across all three of those spheres. Instead, I can only speak to his importance to me, and in doing so perhaps I'll shed some light on why others have likewise found him to be such a valuable exemplar of humanity. I was a teenager in the late '80s and early '90s, and as such, it’s possible that my mind was more open then than it will ever be again. Luckily, this was the so-called Golden Age of Hip-Hop, and much of the music was aggressive, frenetic, and proudly black. References to African-American freedom fighters of the past were sprinkled across rap lyrics like hot sauce on...well, everything. And just like hot sauce, they somehow made it all taste that much better. Malcolm's name and words spiced up a lot of tracks back in those days."

Can I be immoral in dreams?3. Are dreams conscious experiences that occur during sleep?4. Does dreaming have an evolutionary function? These interrelated questions cover philosophical domains as diverse as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, scientific methodology, and the philosophy of biology, mind and language. This article covers the four questions and also looks at some newly emerging philosophical questions about dreams:5. Is dreaming an ideal scientific model for consciousness research?6. Is dreaming an instance of hallucinating or imagining?

After a series of raids by the Kingdom of Scotland under the Mac Alpines, their people and land were annexed to that kingdom during an expansionist campaign by Malcolm II in 1018. During this time Scotland was a complex minature empire of Northern European ethnicities, under the hegemony of the Gaels of Irish descent with their base in Dal Riata. Lowlanders were still refered to as the \"\"English in the Kingdom of the Scots\"\" by the 12th century. [ 1] A socially complex series of events under king David I was undertaken which would lead to the cultural ascent of the Lowlands in Scotland. He invited Norman noblemen into the kingdom, who would eventually inherit the kingship and instituted burghs, urban areas inhabited principally by Lowlanders."

Before he could continue, however, a man with a sawed-off shotgun and two co-conspirators with handguns opened fire, striking him multiple times in the chest, leg, fingers and chin and causing him to topple over backwards. Emergency measures failed to revive him, and within minutes he was dead at age 39. Explore some illuminating facts about the outspoken activist, who, in contrast to Martin Luther King Jr., urged African-Americans to fight racism “by any means necessary. ”His father may have been killed by white supremacists. As vocal supporters of pan-African leader Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X’s parents faced constant threats from white supremacists. Just before Malcolm’s birth, for example, armed Ku Klux Klansmen rode out to their house in Omaha, Nebraska, and shattered all their windows. Another of their homes burned down a few years later, apparently at the hands of the Black Legion, a Klan splinter group. Even worse, when Malcolm was 6 years old, his father went out one evening to collect a debt, only to be hit by a streetcar and mortally wounded. Though the authorities ruled his death an accident, African-Americans in town believed the Black Legion had beat him and placed him on the tracks to be run over."

Ku Klux Klan terrorists burned his house, and his father was later murdered — an act young Malcolm attributed to local whites. After moving to Harlem, Malcolm turned to crime. Soon he was arrested and sent to jail. The prison experience was eye-opening for the young man, and he soon made some decisions that altered the course of his life. He began to read and educate himself. Influenced by other inmates, he converted to Islam. Upon his release, he was a changed man with a new identity."

It was impossible to count them or their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. 6 Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help.7 When the Israelites cried out to the Lord because of Midian, 8 he sent them a prophet, who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 9 I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians.

"text": "\"Home About Evangelical What Does The Right Hand Symbolize or Mean In The Bible? June 13, 2015 by Jack Wellman 3 Comments Is there special meaning or significance to the “right hand” in Scripture? What does the right hand symbolize? The Hand of Authority You’ve probably heard the phrase “he’s my right hand man” but where does this phrase come from? I believe it comes from the Bible. This words “right hand” occurs 166 times in the Bible so it is no accident that the words “right hand” has significant meaning. God inspired Isaiah to write “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you” (Isaiah 41:13). The right hand signifies strength, perhaps because most people are right-handed and that is the hand that normally has their greatest strength. Most people write with their right hand, they do the most difficult things with their right hand, and it is the hand where the strength typically occurs. The religious leaders were constantly trying to trap and trick Jesus into enigmatic questions so He once told them “The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool” (Luke 20:42-43) which, being at the right hand, is the place of authority to whoever sits on the throne, and in this case, it was about God the Father and Jesus being the one who was to be and is currently seated at the right hand of the Father."

"text": "\"What should we learn from the tribe of Joseph? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What should we learn from the tribe of Joseph?\"\" Answer: Technically, there is no tribe of Joseph. Instead, Joseph received a “double blessing,” and his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, each became his own tribe ( Genesis 48; Joshua 14:4; Ezekiel 47:13 ). The Bible does, on occasion, refer to a “tribe of Joseph” ( Numbers 13:11; 36:5; Revelation 7:8 ). However, in the contexts, the “tribe of Joseph” seems to be referring to either the tribe of Ephraim or Manasseh, or to the “house of Joseph,” which included Ephraim and Manasseh. When Jacob directed a prophecy toward each of his sons, he gave Joseph one of the longest: “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall. With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, because of your father’s God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb. Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills."

The Septuagint has its origin in Alexandria, Egypt and was translated between 300-200 BC. Widely used among Hellenistic Jews, this Greek translation was produced because many Jews spread throughout the empire were beginning to lose their Hebrew language. The process of translating the Hebrew to Greek also gave many non-Jews a glimpse into Judaism. According to an ancient document called the Letter of Aristeas, it is believed that 70 to 72 Jewish scholars were commissioned during the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus to carry out the task of translation. The term “Septuagint” means seventy in Latin, and the text is so named to the credit of these 70 scholars. Septuagint - Influence on Christianity The Septuagint was also a source of the Old Testament for early Christians during the first few centuries AD. Many early Christians spoke and read Greek, thus they relied on the Septuagint translation for most of their understanding of the Old Testament. The New Testament writers also relied heavily on the Septuagint, as a majority of Old Testament quotes cited in the New Testament are quoted directly from the Septuagint (others are quoted from the Hebrew texts)."

But, all suspicion aside, the name Mahlah is the feminine version of the masculine name Mahli, so that gives us a clue that this might be a feminine name. On the other hand, there are two words in Hebrew that look just like this name, and one is masculine and the other is feminine. The bottom line is that we don't know whether Mahlah the child of Hammoleketh (who is probably a granddaughter of Manasseh) is a boy or a girl (1 Chronicles 7:18).

Shortly before His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus Christ delivered a major prophecy of end-time events, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. He was asked by His disciples: “When will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” ( Matthew 24:3 ). Jesus responded with a description of conditions and events that would lead up to His second coming. Moreover, He said that when these signs became evident, His return would occur within one generation ( Matthew 24:34 )."

"text": "\"The location of Gihon River.by Floyd (California)I would like to suggest that the Gihon River runs a very different course that what this article claims. The Bible specifically identifies this course. 1 Kings 1:38 mentions that Solomon was crowned king at Gihon (Mt Moriah). 2 Chronicles 32:30 mentions that King Hezekiah built a dam over Upper Gihon \"\"and brought the water by tunnel to the West Side of the City of David.\"\" Manasseh built a wall on the west side of Gihon (2 Chronicles 33:14). When the Bible mentions the Land of Cush, many do not take into consideration the Hebrew meaning of the word Cush. Cush simply means to gush forth. It does not necessarily refer a particular city or location but rather the name of the place derived from a fountainhead. That fountainhead gave rise to the four rivers. One of those rivers ran directly through Mount Moriah (Jerusalem) if we are to believe the biblical texts and not speculations of certain archaeologists."

Sharapova tops Forbes list of highest-paid female athletes as seven tennis stars make up the top ten By Matthew Morlidge Published: 11:33 EDT, 8 August 2013 | Updated: 11:33 EDT, 8 August 201311View comments Maria Sharapova has hung on to her Forbes accolade for another year as she was revealed to be the highest-paid female athlete in the world. The American business company announces the figures from June-June every year, showing the money received through their sport as well as from endorsement to produce a list of the top earners. Sharapova reigns supreme with a total of £18.6million ($29m), though she is a long way down on top earning male athlete Tiger Woods, who amasses a staggering £50million ($78m) a year. Big earner: Maria Sharapova gained £18.6m through prize money and endorsement, such as Nike, but is still some way behind men All-smiles: Tiger Woods tops the male list, gaining £50m a year The Russian four-time Grand Slam winner is joined in the top ten by fellow Tennis professionals Serena Williams, Li Na, Victoria Azarenka, Caroline Wozniacki, Agnieszka Radwanska and Ana Ivanovic in the top ten. There are also spots for NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, figure skater Kim Yuna and golfer Paula Creamer. While tennis margins in prize money are much closer given that all four Grand Slams pay out equally to male and female competitors, the same cannot be said about other sports. Inbee Park gained £376,000 ($584,000) for her Female US Open win, compared to Justin Rose's £900,000 ($1.4m) while the top earner in the WNBA gets £69,000 ($107,000) - Kobe Briant pockets 300 times that. Here's Sportsmail's take on the highest-paid female athletes.1. Maria Sharapova At the top: Sharapova's win at Roland Garros last year triggered lucrative bonuses from sponsors Total earnings: £18.6million ($29m)Prize money: £3.8million ($6m)Endorsements: £14.8million ($23m)It is fair to say Sharapova, 26, hasn't had the best of seasons so far professionally, reaching the closing stages of the Australian and French Open before crashing out of Wimbledon."

Open in 2006 and the Australian Open in 2008, the new World No 1 Maria Sharapova completed her Grand Slam and became only the 10th women in the history to do so. The 25-year-old Russian underwent a shoulder surgery four years back after which she was uncertain about her future, she overcame all the hurdles to achieve the historic feat. Here is a list of all the ten women tennis players who have completed a career Grand Slam.1) Maureen Connolly Brinker (USA): Fondly known as the Little Mo, Maureen was the first female tennis player to complete a career Grand Slam in the same year. Australian Open: (1953)French Open: (1953, 1954)Wimbledon: (1952, 1953, 1954)US Open: (1951, 1952, 1953)2) Doris Hart (USA): During her childhood, the American suffered from osteomyelitis, which resulted in a permanently impaired right leg. In spite of that, she has won 14 singles titles at major tournaments. Australian Open: (1950)French Open: (1948, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953)Wimbledon: (1947, 1951, 1952, 1953)US Open: (1951, 1952, 1953, 1954)3) Shirley Fry Irvin (USA): Just like Maria Sharapova, the American has also won just four grand slams at the major tournaments.

"text": "US Open 2014: Serena Williams Prize Money Could Make Women's Tennis History By Jason Le Miere @Jason Le Miere On 09/05/14 AT 12:53 PMSerena Williams will make history if she wins the 2014 U. S. Open. Photo: Reuters When Serena Williams steps onto the court for her U. S. Open semifinal on Friday, she will be just two wins away from further etching her mark in tennis history. For the 32-year-old, a victory over Ekaterina Makarova backed up by triumph in the final on Sunday would see her join two of the iconic names of tennis, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, on 18 Grand Slam singles titles, second only to Steffi Graf’s 22 in the Open era. It would also put her level with Evert for the most U. S. Open titles in the Open era with six. Those records will surely enter her head when she battles it out on Arthur Ashe Stadium, but Williams could be forgiven for also allowing another historic achievement to come into her thinking. Should Williams lift the trophy, she would also walk home with the biggest paycheck ever for a single tennis tournament of $4 million. The prize money at tennis grand slams has increased rapidly in recent years, particularly after players demanded a bigger share of the revenue pie. This year the Australian Open singles’ champions were rewarded with 2.65 million Australian dollars ($2.49 million), while their French Open counterparts secured 1.65 million Euros ($2.14 million) and the winners at Wimbledon were rewarded with 1.76 million pounds ($2.87 million). Trumping its counterparts, though, $3 million will be awarded to both men’s and women’s champions at the U. S. Open. And if the winner is Williams, her prize money will be boosted considerably by having won the U. S. Open Series."

Written by NDTVSports Read Time: 2 - min Maria Sharapova has been linked with many men - Grigor Dimitrov being the 'latest. ' © AFPRumours doing the rounds in tennis circles is that Russian sensation Maria Sharapova has broken up with boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov. According to unconfirmed reports, the two removed each other on Twitter and were even absent in the stands when either of them played in the US Open recently. Previously reported to be engaged, Sharapova (27) and Bulgarian Dimitrov (23) have been dating each other since late 2012. According to reports though, the romance may have seen its end with both choosing to focus more on their professional careers. While Sharapova and Dimitrov both have their professions in common, the tennis star said last year their relationship is based on more than just their love for the sport. \"\" It's about finding that person where you can be yourself all the time, where you're comfortable with being [the] young girl, the older girl, the mature girl, and the person that understands you and looks at you and says, 'You're completely off you rocker!'\"\" Sharapova had said."

"text": "The two things are often worn for different reasons. In many cases, the neck chains are items of personal significance or sentimental value. To the extent that some are considered good luck charms by the player, that might also be considered superstitious. Some players also wear specific jewelry because they are paid endorsers of the brand. One example is Maria Sharapova's endorsement contract with Tiffany. However, in the case of watches, the percentages may well be reversed. While a few players may wear watches because they're used to it, or for superstitious reasons, in most cases when a top player wears a watch it is because he/she is being paid to do it. Watch companies are very active marketers in the tennis world, and many of the top players have endorsement contracts with watch companies. For example, Roger Federer, Li Na, Ana Ivanovic and Caroline Wozniacki all endorse Rolex, Maria Sharapova is sponsored by TAG Heuer, Rafael Nadal plugs for Richard Mille, Andy Murray for Rado, and Novak Djokovic for Audemars Piguet. It is quite rare that a player would use a worn watch to manage time between serves or points, especially since they don't know when the clock starts exactly."

It was authorized by the U. S. Congress and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 30 July 1942, but the Marine Corps delayed the formation of the WR until 13 February 1943. The law provided that members of the WR may be commissioned or enlisted in such ranks and ratings equal to the regular Marine Corps, and was effective for the duration of the war plus six months. Its purpose was to release officers and men for combat and to replace them with women in shore stations. Ruth Cheney Streeter was appointed the first director of the WR. She was sworn in with the rank of major and later was promoted to a full colonel. The WR did not have an official nickname, as did the other World War II women's military services, although many unofficial and uncomplimentary nicknames were used to describe the women. Young women were eager to serve in the military during WW II, and the Marine Corps wanted only the best. The overall qualifications for women who wished to volunteer for the WR were stringent. The age requirement for officer candidates was between 20 and 49, and a candidate had to be a college graduate or have a combination of two years of college and two years of work experience."

S. military, you have to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Test (ASVAB). The ASVAB consists of nine separately timed subtests, which are primarily used by the military to determine your aptitude to learn various military jobs. Four of the ASVAB subtests are used to compute the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score, a percentile score that runs from 1 to 99. This score determines whether you’re qualified to join the military service of your choice. Each branch of the military has its own minimum AFQT score standards: Army (including Army National Guard and Army Reserves): The Army requires a minimum AFQT score of 31 for those with a high school diploma and a score of 50 for those with a high school equivalency certificate. When the Army is experiencing high recruiting and reenlistment rates, it has been known to temporarily increase its qualifying AFQT score minimum to as high as 50. Air Force (including Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves): Air Force recruits must score at least a 36 on the AFQT to qualify for enlistment, but more than 70 percent of people who are accepted for an Air Force enlistment score 50 or above. For those who have a high school equivalency certificate instead of a high school diploma, the minimum score is 65. Navy: Navy recruits must score at least 35 on the AFQT to qualify for enlistment. If you have a high school equivalency certificate, the minimum score is 50."

As of 2018, these are the standards for each of the services for scoring on the ASVAB as well as education levels. Air Force ASVAB and Education Requirements Air Force recruits must score at least 36 points the 99-point ASVAB. The overall ASVAB score is known as the AFQT score, or Armed Forces Qualification Test score. Exceptions may be made, however, for a handful of high school graduates who can score as low as 31. The vast majority, some 70 percent, of those accepted for an Air Force enlistment score 50 or above. Your chances of joining the Air Force without graduating high school are slim to none. Even with a GED, the chances are not good. Only about half of one percent of all Air Force enlistments each year are GED-holders. To even be considered for one of these very few slots, a GED-holder must score a minimum of 65 on the AFQT."

"text": "\"Home »Salary Insights »Military Salaries Reenlistment Requirements for the Marine Corps By Marshall Moore; Updated July 05, 2017Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images Re-enlisting into the Marine Corps is an entirely different process than joining as a new recruit. For those already in the service, re-enlistment can signal the beginning of a career in the Marine Corps rather than just a stint of service. For those who have already left the service, it can be a way to get back in after taking a short break. Either way, Marines who are re-enlisting into the service must meet specific requirements to be eligible. Prior Service Perhaps the most important aspect of re-enlistment for Marines is their record of prior service. Upon the expiration of their enlistment contract, Marines are assigned a re-enlistment code. This code is, in essence, a grade of their performance while in the service. To re-enlist, Marines must have a re-enlistment code of either RE-1A or RE-1B. Codes other than this generally disqualify a Marine for re-enlistment for various reasons, ranging from humanitarian or personal hardship to a failure to meet disciplinary standards. Marines with re-enlistment codes other than RE-1A or RE-1B can still attempt to re-enlist with a waiver or by meeting certain criteria; however, it can pose a significant hurdle in the process. Age Marines with prior service looking to re-enlist are subject to different age requirements than new recruits."

If you're a pretty big Batman fan, then you know his dad was the wealthy Dr. Thomas Wayne, from whom Bruce Wayne inherited his fortune. But who is Batman's mother? The oft-forgotten about character's profile is on the rise thanks to the important role she plays in Batman v Superman, but not many people seem to know much about her, so who was she? Batman's mother was named Martha Wayne. In the comics, her maiden name was Martha Kane, and she inherited a fortune from the Kane family, meaning that not all of Batman's great wealth comes from the Wayne side (and also meaning that her name sounded pretty much the same after she got married). Like her husband, her murder is generally considered to be the most significant thing that ever happened to her as it relates to Batman, but in Batman v Superman, the character, played by The Walking Dead 's Lauren Cohan, is given some added importance (spoilers ahead). In the beginning of the film, the murder of Batman's parents plays out to the audience as it has numerous times before. Except in this version, the last thing Thomas says before dying is, \"\"Martha. \"\""

As a result a lot of folks have dismissed this one, but I find it to be one of the best exhibitions of a specialized art form- namely, the circus. Populated with many real circus headliners, its musical portions are quite stylish and joyful- especially \"\"Circus On Parade,\"\" the equestrian-flavored \"\"This Can't Be Love,\"\" and the gorgeous opening number \"\"Over and Over Again-\"\" which shows off 2nd unit man Busby Berkely's visual flourish. ( Note, in particular, the final pullback shot which shows all of the acts rehearsing en masse at the same time.) Ms. Day, already a top box office star due to her romantic comedies with Rock Hudson, is gorgeous in the film and her voice can only be described as velvety. Listen especially to her solos \"\"My Romance,\"\" \"\"Little Girl Blue,\"\" and most impressive, a nighttime duet between Day and Martha Raye in a wagon caravan entitled \"\"Why Can't I?\"\" Portions of the film are directed too slowly and leading man Stephen Boyd is wooden (I would have preferred Harve Presnell or even Howard Keel), but circus owner Jimmy Durante is marvelous in every scene he's in- especially where he's trying to hide an elephant!! The finale, with the cast dressed for a double wedding and dancing to \"\"The Most Beautiful Girl In The World\"\" is truly lovely. If you've never seen a circus you could watch this and be satisfied that you spent an evening under the big top. 20 out of 21 found this helpful."

Many of the original districts were a straight use of these and indeed those who administered the poor laws often became the first superintendent registrars. Poor Law Unions were made up of several parishes and the Unions could sometimes cross the county boundaries. As a registration district could be quite large - especially in rural areas - the actual place of birth could be quite a long way - and in a different county - from the town that gave its name to the registration district. If you can find a birth registration at the right time but apparently in the wrong place close by it could be worth checking it out. Some villages could lie in more than one registration district e.g. in my area the village of Colnbrook lay in 3 separate districts - one in Berkshire, one in Buckinghamshire and one in Surrey and this was not changed until 1994! That means that if a family moved down the road or across it they could be in a totally different registration district for the next child in the family."

Pottermore Style Book Style Neither of these to me looks anything like a raven, besides being bird shaped. Is the crest meant to show a raven, or just some sort of bird? I've struggled to find an 'official' rendition of the crest, and this is the best I could find, but I've seen plenty of fan-mad crests that do show a raven, seemingly correcting this 'mistake'. So why does the Ravenclaw symbol show an eagle, and not a Raven?harry-potter hogwartsshare improve this questionedited Dec 8 '12 at 11:42Slytherincess113k 91 572 844asked Dec 8 '12 at 10:32Ancient Sword Rage ♦43.7k 59 323 6711It appears from @Slytherincess' answer that it is intended to be an eagle but I would also point out that the bird in the Pottermore-style crest does look a heck of a lot like all the ravens I have seen, and the bird in the book-style crest looks as much like a raven as it does an eagle (an angry chicken perhaps?). – Kenny Peanuts Dec 8 '12 at 16:087In heraldry, a raven and an eagle are not really distinguishable. Generally, if it's displayed (wings out to either side), then it's an eagle, and if it's in profile (especially if it has something in its beak, and/or if it's fuzzy), then it's a raven. – Martha Dec 8 '12 at 16:2911Gryffindor has a lion as their animal - why don't they have a griffin?"

"text": "\"516The Difference Between Men and Women ( self.funny)submitted 6 years ago by coreyf Let's say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else. And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Martha, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: \"\"Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months? \"\" And then, there is silence in the car. To Martha, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of. And Fred is thinking: Gosh."

The play is in three acts, normally taking a little less than three hours to perform, with two 10-minute intermissions.

It was late 1990 and the singer, relaxing before a show that night, had decided to unwind with some channel surfing. She stumbled upon a new music video by Italian house group Black Box, whose synth lines, horn stabs and pulsating, club-tailored drum patterns had already made them dance music stars. When the song's vocals kicked in, she was shocked to see French model Katrin Quinol, the ex-girlfriend of founding member Daniele Davoli, bending over and crouching in a unitard, lip-syncing Wash's vocals to the eventual hit \"\"Everybody Everybody. \"\"\"\" I said to myself, 'I don't believe this shit is happening again,\"\" says the now 60-year-old Wash. \"\"I called my manager and said, 'I just heard myself on TV in a video.

MARTHA WASH 'MERGED A GOSPEL VOICE INTO POP AND DANCE MUSIC SEAMLESSLY,' SAYS RUPAULWash is very likely the most famous unknown singer of the Nineties; a powerful, gospel-weaned belter who first earned fame as a backup singer for disco king Sylvester before forming the disco-pop duo the Weather Girls and recording the camp classic \"\"It's Raining Men.\"\" In the early Nineties, however, Wash's booming, powerhouse vocals could be heard on the world's most ubiquitous dance songs, from Seduction's \"\" (You're My One and Only) True Love\"\" to Black Box's \"\"Strike It Up\"\" and \"\"Fantasy\"\" to C+C Music Factory's aforementioned Number One hit."

And I have no affiliation with a DNA testing laboratory. I’m an engineer. So why am I writing a paper on genetic genealogy and what are my qualifications for doing so? I’m writing this because DNA has become a hot topic in genealogy lately. Unfortunately most of the DNA lectures being presented at genealogy conferences assume that the listener knows the basics. I didn’t have that knowledge because DNA was “invented” after I went to school. I knew a little about genes, having studied Mendel’s laws in high-school biology."

Died July 21, 2017 (aged 20) Talkeetna, Alaska, U. S. Stubbs (April 12, 1997 – July 21, 2017) [1] was a cat who was the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska from July 1997 until his death. [ 2]Stubbs was described as a tourist attraction, [3] having been flooded with cards and letters, and drawing 30 to 40 tourists each day (most of whom were en route to other Alaska destinations, such as Denali) [4] who hoped to meet \"\"the mayor\"\". Stubbs's position was honorary, as the town is only a historic district. [ 5]Every afternoon, Stubbs went to a nearby restaurant and drank water laden with catnip out of a wineglass [6] [7] or margarita glass.

[ 6]Stubbs is widely believed to have been elected after a write-in campaign by voters who opposed the human candidates.

The water color changes later in the summer as silt from melting snow and glacial ice turns the river a muddy brown color.

The Chulitna flows south from the Alaska Range, eventually joining with the Susitna River near the small town of Talkeetna.

For more spectacular scenery, more wildlife, and a phenomenal trail system, head an hour north to Denali State Park for guided or self-guided hikes and walks. The South Denali area is best known for spectacular views of Denali, abundant wildlife, and the world’s northernmost boreal forest. The combination of rich soils, healthy salmon runs, and a mild climate make the South Denali area particularly lush and fertile. The woods overflow with wildflowers, berries, and oversized plants. Lowland trails take you along salmon streams where bears feed, crystal-clear lakes where loons and Trumpeter Swans nest, and mossy old-growth forest.

Spring is progressing slowly, with snow still deep on their calving grounds in the northern Talkeetna Mountains. That raises the specter of 2013, when many caribou calved short of the normal location while still on the move. Calf mortality was high. But calf survival has been good for the herd this past winter. Low snow conditions almost everywhere, except Denali Highway country, made winter easier than normal. Nelchina caribou travel far between their summer range in the Alaska Range and the Talkeetna Mountains and their winter habitat near the Canadian border. Nelchina is a large herd, some 35-40,000 animals. They need room to roam. During the winter, caribou feed primarily on slow-growing lichen, commonly called \"\"caribou moss.\"\""

In snowy terrain, a heavy foot drag is evident. Scat Mountain goat droppings are easily confused with deer and sheep. However, the sizes of goat droppings are smaller than these other hoofed animals. Depending on the amount of moisture in the goat's diet, their droppings may vary from dry, hard pellets (winter) to a clustered mass of soft pellets. The range of the mountain goat ( Oreamnos americanus) is restricted to the steep and broken mountain ranges of northwestern North America, from Idaho and Washington to Southcentral Alaska. Mountain goats also occur in Southeast Alaska, where their range extends north and west along the coastal mountains to Cook Inlet. In Southcentral Alaska, goats are found in the Chugach and Wrangell Mountains, and a few occur in the Talkeetna Mountains. Goats have been introduced to Kodiak Island as well as to Southeast Alaska’s Revillagigedo and Baranof Islands. Mountain goats are both grazing and browsing animals, depending on the particular habitat and season of the year."

Known locally as \"\"Mayor Stubbs,\"\" the part-manx was named mayor of Talkeetna shortly after he was born, KTUU-TV, Anchorage, Alaska, reported. As the story goes, about 15 years ago, some residents of Talkeetna were unhappy with the candidates who were running for mayor, so as a joke, they encouraged others to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate, and he actually won. Since then, he has held the title of honorary mayor. Stubbs mostly hangs out at Nagley's General Store, where thousands of tourists ask to see him every year, the report said. \"\" Oh my gosh, we probably have 30 to 40 people a day come in who are tourists wanting to see him,\"\" said Lauri Stec, who works at Nagley's.

Re: Puffins Apr 2, 2009, 10:18 PMHi. You might do better contacting birding societies in Alaska to find the best answers to your questions, or try googling for them. As for puffins, the best places to see them that I know of are in Seward (at the Sea Life Center, where you can also watch them \"\"fly\"\" underwater and also do a Puffin Encounter, see the website), on a Kenai Fjords tour out of Seward, and on wildlife tours out of Sitka to St. Lazaria Island. I also read that Glacier Bay is another good place, but I didn't see a single one when I was there."

"text": "\"By Erica Silverstein Cruise Critic Senior Editor Save Share Updated September 21, 2017Many Alaska cruises tend to explore the same southeastern ports of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Sitka. Yet to immerse yourself in the land of sled dog and Arctic tundra (and a chance to see the northern lights), requires a trip to Alaska's northwest interior. Cruise lines have the answer: the cruise tour. The cruise tour is a land tour of interior destinations before or after a cruise. In conjunction with seven-night Alaska cruises, three- to eight-night land programs extend each trip with visits to interior destinations, such as Anchorage, Denali National Park, Talkeetna, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula. Cruise lines with the most established cruise tour programs in Alaska include Holland America, Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, each with its own hallmarks. It's hardly a cruise on wheels. The go-go-go pace might have you putting luggage outside your doors at 6 a.m., leaving the hotel an hour later and not arriving at the next destination until the evening. But, that's not all you need to know about Alaskan cruise tours -- here are six other aspects of the best Alaska cruise tours...and the worst.1. It Pays to Tune Into Your Wild Side Visiting Alaska is all about wildlife."

On this page Introduction History Beliefs The Sabbath Behaviour and ethics Worship Holy books Membership and organisation Print this page Introduction Seventh-day Adventists The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Millennialist Protestant Christian denomination that was founded in the 1860s in the USA. The name Seventh-day Adventist is based on the Church's observance of the \"\"biblical Sabbath\"\" on Saturday, the seventh day of the week. \"\" Advent\"\" means coming and refers to their belief that Jesus Christ will soon return to this earth. Seventh-day Adventists differ in only four areas of beliefs from the mainstream Trinitarian Christian denominations. These are the Sabbath day, the doctrine of the heavenly sanctuary, the status of the writings of Ellen White, and their doctrine of the second coming and millennium. Adventists live modest lives, with a strict code of ethics. They don't smoke or drink alcohol, and recommend a vegetarian diet. Meat is permitted, but only following the Biblical commandments on clean and unclean food. Missionary work is very important to the Church and all Adventists believe they have a duty to share their beliefs with others."

So, without futher ado... the top 25 Dallas characters!#25. Rebecca Sutter Ewing Full Name: Pamela Rebecca Barnes Portrayed By: Julie Gonzalo (2012-present) First Episode: Dallas (TNT) #1.01 (Changing of the Guard)Last Episode: Still appearing Episode Count: 10 + Current Status: Living in Dallas Occupation: Law Student/Con Artist Major Love Interests: Christopher Ewing, Tommy Sutter Family: Cliff Barnes (father) Afton Cooper (mother)Digger Barnes (grandfather, deceased)Rebecca Wentworth (grandmother, deceased) Arliss Cooper (grandmother) Pamela Barnes (aunt)Katherine Wentworth (aunt)Mitch Cooper (uncle)Christopher Ewing (adopted cousin)Notes: Rebecca has two important distinctions about her. She is the only character who first appeared in TNT's Dallas continuation to make this list (Sorry Ann and Elena fans, Ann did well though and will be mentioned in the Honorable Mentions at the end) and she's the character with the least amount of episodes under her belt to do the same. That's a testament to just how interesting the new Dallas team has managed to make the newest member of the Ewing family. Rebecca started off all sweetness and light, a naive newcomer to the Ewing family, perhaps this show's answer to Pam. But very quickly we discovered that she and her brother were really con artists planning some mysterious plan to milk the Ewings of their fortune."

Charlotte renames it “ Briarfield Church” in her novel “Shirley”. The stone carved head of George Bromley can be seen on the West exterior wall. He was master of the National School in Birstall. He was also the parish clerk in the 1850s and secretary of the Batley and Birstall Savings Bank in the 1850s, 1860s and 1870s. The bank had been established in 1822 and had branches in Batley, Batley Carr, Birstall and Cleckheaton, open for an hour or two each week. By 1881 Bromley was also a stationer with premises in the High Street. The church contains some interesting relics from the past including a set of pew ends, one dated 1616, an ancient saxon preaching cross and the font from the original chuch c.1100, several 13th century Knights Hospitallers' tombstones and a set of gruesome carved heads in the porch."

"text": "\"Passing as White: Anita Hemmings 1897By Olivia Mancini '00When Anita Florence Hemmings applied to Vassar in 1893, there was nothing in her records to indicate that she would be any different from the 103 other girls who were entering the class of 1897. But by August 1897, the world as well as the college had discovered her secret: Anita Hemmings was Vassar’s first black graduate — more than 40 years before the college opened its doors to African Americans. In the late 19th century, Vassar’s atmosphere might have been best described as aristocratic. Since its opening in 1861, the prestigious women’s school had catered almost exclusively to the daughters of the nation’s elite. Had Hemmings marked her race as \"\"colored\"\" on her application, her admittance to the college most certainly would have been denied. \"\" She has a clear olive complexion, heavy black hair and eyebrows and coal black eyes,\"\" a Boston newspaper wrote of a 25-year-old Hemmings in August 1897. \"\" The strength of her strain of white blood has so asserted itself that she could pass anywhere simply as a pronounced brunette of white race. \"\" And pass she did, until her white roommate voiced suspicions about Hemmings’ background to her own father only a few weeks before the class was due to graduate. The father hired a private investigator to travel to Hemmings’ hometown of Boston. There it was discovered that homemaker Dora Logan and janitor Robert Williamson Hemmings had conspired with their daughter to keep her race a secret. \"\""

In Ethiopia, they found hominid skull, jaw, and arm bones plus a few teeth that dated back to 4.4 million years ago. That would make these the oldest hominid ancestors yet identified, and the most primitive hominid species known.

Answer by Akeel Howell Confidence votes 8I am tall, dark and handsome. I have a deep passion for science and technology (generally [STEM]) and I want to make a change in the world. Chemical bonding occurs when two or more atoms with unfull valence orbitals react and exchange or share electrons; the result is either a covalent bond (shared electrons so that each has a full shell), an ionic bond (the electron (s) is completely removed from one or more atoms and given to the other (s); the differently charged ions then attract and bond; they both end up with full valence orbitals.) The final type is a metallic bond, where electrons flow past each other in a \"\"sea of electrons\"\".

"text": "Australopithecus anamensis Where Lived: Eastern Africa (Lake Turkana, Kenya and Middle Awash, Ethiopia)When Lived: About 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago Australopithecus anamensis has a combination of traits found in both apes and humans. The upper end of the tibia (shin bone) shows an expanded area of bone and a human-like orientation of the ankle joint, indicative of regular bipedal walking (support of body weight on one leg at the time). Long forearms and features of the wrist bones suggest these individuals probably climbed trees as well. Year of Discovery: 1995History of Discovery: In 1965, a research team led by Bryan Patterson from Harvard University discovered a single arm bone (KNM-KP 271) of an early human at the site of Kanapoi in northern Kenya. But without additional human fossils, Patterson could not confidently identify the species to which it belonged. In 1994, a research team led by paleoanthropologist Meave Leakey found numerous teeth and fragments of bone at the same site. Leakey and her colleagues determined that the fossils were those of a very primitive hominin and they named a new species called Australopithecus anamensis (‘anam’ means ‘lake’ in the Turkana lanaguage). Researchers have since found other Au. anamensis fossils at nearby sites (including Allia Bay), all of which date between about 4.2 million and 3.9 million years old. We don’t know everything about our early ancestors—but we keep learning more!"

As there are thousands of fossils, mostly fragmentary, often consisting of single bones or isolated teeth with complete skulls and skeletons rare, this overview is not complete, but does show some of the most important finds. The fossils are arranged by approximate age as determined by radiometric dating and/or incremental dating and the species name represents current consensus; if there is no clear scientific consensus the other possible classifications are indicated. Deprecated classifications may be found on the fossil's page. Most of the fossils shown are not considered direct ancestors to Homo sapiens but are closely related to direct ancestors and are therefore important to the study of the lineage.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Chemistry Elements and Compounds How can you tell if a substance is a compound or a mixture? Flag How can you tell if a substance is a compound or a mixture? Answer by Thelastcalaquendi Confidence votes 34A substance is scientifically defined as matter the has the same composition and properties throughout, so substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures are not considered substances. However, if we are taking the word substance to simply mean \"\"something\"\" as in everyday (and not purely science-based) use, then one could use the following criteria: A compound is a substance whose smallest unit is made up of atoms of more than one element chemically bonded together, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), sugar (C6H12O6), and ammonia (NH3). A pure sample of a compound will appear the same throughout, and always occurs in specific proportions of its constituents. For example, pure sugar is always composed of molecules of C6H12O6 and always occurs in that proportion--6 atoms of Carbon, 12 atoms of Hydrogen, and 6 atoms of Oxygen. Compounds can only be formed or broken down through a chemical reaction. A mixture is a combination of substances (elements or compounds) can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures do not look the same throughout, so they are easily distinguished from compounds."

In the class of nerve agents, it was developed for military use in chemical warfare after translation of earlier discoveries of organophosphate toxicity in pesticide research. In its pure form, VX is an oily, relatively non-volatile, liquid that is amber-like in color. [ 4] Because of its low volatility, VX persists in environments where it is dispersed. [ 5]VX, short for \"\"venomous agent X\"\", [6] is one of the best known of the V nerve agents and was first discovered at Porton Down in England during the early 1950's based on research first done by Dr. G. Schrader, a chemist working for IG Farben in Germany during the 1930's. Now one of a broader V-series of agents, they are classified as nerve agents and have been used as a chemical weapon in various recorded deadly attacks. VX fatalities occur with exposure to tens of milligram quantities via inhalation or absorption through skin; VX is thus more potent than sarin, another nerve agent with a similar mechanism of action. On such exposure, these agents severely disrupt the body's signaling between the nervous and muscular systems, leading to a prolonged neuromuscular blockade, flaccid paralysis of all the muscles in the body including the diaphragm, and death by asphyxiation. [ 7]The danger of VX, in particular, lies in direct exposure to the chemical agent persisting where it was dispersed, and not through its evaporating and being distributed as a vapor (i.e., it is not a \"\"vapor hazard\"\")."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"ED-50\"\" redirects here. For the geodetic datum ED50, see ED50. An effective dose ( ED) in pharmacology is the dose or amount of drug that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in some fraction of the subjects taking it. It has been stated that any substance can be toxic at a high enough dose. This concept was exemplified in 2007 when a California woman died of water intoxication in a contest sanctioned by a radio station. [ 1] The line between efficacy and toxicity is dependent upon the particular patient, although the dose administered by a physician should fall into the predetermined therapeutic window of the drug. The importance of determining the therapeutic range of a drug cannot be overstated. This is generally defined by the range between the minimum effective dose (MED) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The MED is defined as the lowest dose level of a pharmaceutical product that provides a clinically significant response in average efficacy, which is also statistically significantly superior to the response provided by the placebo. [ 2] Similarly, the MTD is the highest possible but still tolerable dose level with respect to a pre-specified clinical limiting toxicity. ["

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

Slideshow Seasoned Pro: Be Mindful of These Winter Health Hazards Albuterol - Clinical Pharmacology In vitro studies and in vivo pharmacologic studies have demonstrated that Albuterol has a preferential effect on beta 2 -adrenergic receptors compared with isoproterenol. While it is recognized that beta 2 -adrenergic receptors are the predominant receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, data indicate that there is a population of beta 2 -receptors in the human heart existing in a concentration between 10% and 50%. The precise function of these receptors has not been established (see WARNINGS ). The pharmacologic effects of beta-adrenergic agonist drugs, including Albuterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'- adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP)."

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

A clinically important Xeloda-Warfarin drug interaction was demonstrated in a clinical pharmacology trial [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Drug Interactions (7.1)]. Altered coagulation parameters and/or bleeding, including death, have been reported in patients taking Xeloda concomitantly with coumarin-derivative anticoagulants such as warfarin and phenprocoumon. Postmarketing reports have shown clinically significant increases in prothrombin time (PT) and INR in patients who were stabilized on anticoagulants at the time Xeloda was introduced. These events occurred within several days and up to several months after initiating Xeloda therapy and, in a few cases, within 1 month after stopping Xeloda. These events occurred in patients with and without liver metastases. Age greater than 60 and a diagnosis of cancer independently predispose patients to an increased risk of coagulopathy. Indications and Usage for Xeloda Colorectal Cancer Xeloda is indicated as a single agent for adjuvant treatment in patients with Dukes' C colon cancer who have undergone complete resection of the primary tumor when treatment with fluoropyrimidine therapy alone is preferred. Xeloda was non-inferior to 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) for disease-free survival (DFS). Physicians should consider results of combination chemotherapy trials, which have shown improvement in DFS and OS, when prescribing single-agent Xeloda in the adjuvant treatment of Dukes' C colon cancer. Xeloda is indicated as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma when treatment with fluoropyrimidine therapy alone is preferred."

[ edit]Explanation This comic revolves around the similarities (and differences) between the concepts of \"\"Analogy\"\", \"\"Simile\"\" and \"\"Metaphor\"\" (as well as \"\"Synecdoche\"\" and \"\"sandwich\"\"). The dictionary defines a \"\" metaphor \"\" as a figure of speech that uses one thing to mean another and makes a comparison between the two. For example, Shakespeare's line, \"\"All the world's a stage,\"\" is a metaphor comparing the whole world to a theater stage. Metaphors can be very simple, and they can function as most any part of speech. \"\" The spy shadowed the woman\"\" is a verb metaphor. The spy is not literally her shadow, but he follows her so closely and quietly that he resembles one. A \"\" simile \"\", also called an open comparison, is a form of metaphor that compares two different things to create a new meaning. But a simile always uses \"\"like\"\" or \"\"as\"\" within the phrase and the comparison is more explicit than a metaphor. For example, Shakespeare's line could be rewritten as a simile to read: \"\"The world is like a stage.\"\""

In anticipation, Consequence of Sound will be reporting live from The Great Northern Hotel with some damn fine features all week. Today, Bookhouse Boy Randall Colburn spends some time in the Roadhouse, where something very, very strange is going on. He may not have all the answers we’re looking for, but he knows all the right questions, and that’s as great a place as anyone could be right now. For some, Twin Peaks: The Return has been everything they hoped it would be: Mysterious, terrifying, abstract, funny, romantic, and, perhaps most importantly, weird as absolute fuck. All of the elements that hindered the original series—the fractured tone, soapy theatrics, and general aimlessness—had been cast off in favor of the kind of atmospheric, patchwork storytelling David Lynch came to master in films like Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and, to its most extreme extent, Inland Empire. This is bold, ambitious, and joyously frustrating storytelling. For others, it’s been a test of a patience, a viscous swamp of disconnected scenes and illogical characters plodding through a bizarre, peripatetic world. You can’t blame them really. I think everyone can remember being annoyed by that farcical murder-robbery sequence in Mulholland Drive when they first saw it."

Melanocyte-stimulating hormone is a collective name for a group of peptide hormones produced by the skin, pituitary gland and hypothalamus. In response to ultraviolet (UV) radiation its production by the skin and pituitary is enhanced, and this plays a key role in producing coloured pigmentation found in the skin, hair and eyes. It does this by inducing specialised skin cells called melanocytes to produce a pigment called melanin; melanin protects cells from DNA - (1)'>DNA damage, which can lead to skin cancer (melanoma). Melanocyte-stimulating hormone is produced from the same precursor molecule as adrenocorticotropic hormone called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). Although named for its stimulatory effect on pigment cells, melanocyte-stimulating hormone produced in the hypothalamus can also suppress appetite by acting on receptors in the hypothalamus in the brain. This effect is enhanced by leptin, a hormone released from fat cells. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone also affects a range of other processes in the body; it has anti-inflammatory effects, can influence the release of the hormone aldosterone, which controls salt and water balance in the body, and also has an effect on sexual behaviour. How is melanocyte-stimulating hormone controlled? Melanocyte-stimulating hormone secretion from the pituitary is increased by exposure to UV light."

Hormonesact as chemical messengers to body organs, stimulating certain life processes and retardingothers. Growth, reproduction, control of metabolic processes, sexual attributes, and even mentalconditions and personality traits are dependent on hormones. Hormones are produced by various organs and body tissues, but mainly by the endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and gonads (testes and ovaries). Each gland apparently synthesizesseveral kinds of hormones; the adrenal glands alone produce more than 25 varieties. The totalnumber of hormones is still unknown, but each has its unique function and its own chemicalformula. After a hormone is discharged by its parent gland into the capillaries or the lymph, it maytravel a circuitous path through the bloodstream to exert influence on cells, tissues, and organs (target organs) far removed from its site of origin. One of the best-known endocrine hormones is insulin, a protein manufactured by the beta cells of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas that is important in carbohydrate metabolism."

"text": "Neurotransmitters and hormones Tissue specialization of amino acid metabolism KEGG compound catalogue The metabolism of amino acids serves as stage for the formation of many small signaling molecules used as hormones and neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are synthesized in neurons and act locally. They are released into a synaptic cleft providing a diffusible chemical signal from one cell to the next, cells which are not in direct contact with each other. These synapses are therefore referred to as chemical synapses, as opposed to electrical synapses, which use a gap junction mediated coupling of action potentials without a mediating chemical signaling mechanism. The signal transmission of the latter is much faster than that found in chemical synapses. Neurotransmitters bind to receptor proteins and channels and initiate signaling events mainly related to electrical transmissions such as action potentials, or stimulating calcium waves in the cytoplasm. Some signaling molecules are not only used locally and thus serve as hormones having a larger range of activity, like epinephrine, which affects carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in various target organs, far away from the site of synthesis. Other types include thyroxin, an amino acid derivative produced in the thyroid gland and important for organ differentiation, growth, and metamorphosis, and nitric oxide, NO, a short lived free radical gas that acts as hormone and neurotransmitter. Nitric oxide's role in mammalian physiology had been discovered in the 1980s. Tissue specialization is an important aspect of amino acid metabolism."

There are six skin types, fair skin that always burn, dark skin that never burns and everything in between. Melanin is the pigment that determines skin colour as well as hair and eye colour. Melanin is produced by skin cells when they are exposed to the sun. The more sun exposure, the more melanin is produced. There are two types of melanin, eumelanin which gives skin a brown colour (tan) and pheomelanin which gives skin a red colour (burn). Regular sun exposure (e.g. every day) is associated with tanning. It increases eumelanin levels which gives skin a brownish tan and provides protection against the sun’s rays. This reduces the risk of burning and skin cancer with future sun exposure. Irregular sun exposure (e.g. only during holidays or weekends) is associated with burning."

The coat color fades gradually from darker tan on the dorsal surface to ligher tan on the ventral surface. Nature of Mutation The candidate gene Mc1r was sequenced, and an A to G transition was identified at position 877 of the Mc1r transcript, within the only exon.861 TTCTATGCGCTGCGTT A TCACAGCATCGTGACG145 -F--Y--A--L--R--Y--H--S--I--V--T-The mutated nucleotide is indicated in red lettering, and results in substitution of tyrosine 150 with cysteine. Protein Prediction The melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1r) is one of five members of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). MCRs are activated by several structurally related peptide hormones, including α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), all of which are generated through multiple cleavages of a single precursor protein, proopiomelanocortin (POMC). With the exeption of Mc2r, which displays a strong selectivity for ACTH, the MCRs each bind with different affinities to several melanocortin ligands. In some cases, MCRs also bind to endogenous antagonist proteins that modulate signaling through the receptor. The five MCRs are 39% to 61% identical to each other at the amino acid level."

Alpha- comes from the middle of POMC when exposed to UV rays, these hormones stimulate melanocytes to produce melanosomes, which are used in the skin cells as a covering over the nucleus to protect it from being damaged by UV rays Beta- comes from the end of the protein and contains a carboxyl group Gamma- Come from the end and contains an amine group 3 Different Types When MSH is stimulated, it circulates in the blood and binds to receptors on melanocytes (in humans) and chromatophores animals. In humans- MSH is stimulated by exposure to sunlight which starts production. effects of this can be seen as skin darkens In animals (mainly fish, amphibians, and reptiles)- MSH regulates the production of melanin in melanophores this allows animals to alter their color based on their environment occurs from photoreceptor stimulation,pituitary activation, and the releasing of MSH What happens? In mammals, MSH is known to alter appetite. acts on receptors in the hypothalamus some cases of obesity have found mutations in the receptor for alpha MSH too much of MSH can result in increased melanin production lack of MSH can lead to loss of natural protection from damaging UV rays Other Effects hormone released in darkness from the pineal gland. natural melatonin can be used to adjust “internal clock” regulates circadian rhythms and sleep circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that respond to light and darkness in an environment Melatonin pineal gland becomes active when darkness occurs and begins to produce melatonin. once melatonin is released in the blood, you begin to feel less alert and aware . this causes your body to feel more prone to sleep."

Skin whitening treatments work by reducing the content of melanin of the skin. Many agents have been shown to be effective in skin whitening; some have beneficial side effects (e.g. : are antioxidants, [1] nutrients, or decrease the risk of some types of cancer); some are a significant risk to health (for example, those containing mercury).

In cases of vitiligo, unaffected skin may be lightened to achieve a more uniform appearance. [ 2]Discovery and design [ edit]Melanogenesis inhibitors have been discovered and developed through several methods, including: screening of synthetic chemical libraries ( high throughput screening is occasionally used), screening of plant extracts, [3] computational ( in silico) search, [4] [5] found as a side effect of previously known drugs [6] [7] [8] [9] and exploration of structural analogues of previously known tyrosinase inhibitors [10] [11] based on knowledge (in varying degrees) of their structure-activity relationship. Thus, the development and discovery of melanogenesis inhibitors illustrates many of the methods used in drug design. Some of the most potent competitive reversible tyrosinase inhibitors are synthetic compounds with a potency hundreds of times that of kojic acid.

These factors may be, hormone imbalance or a change in hormone levels, and hot, humid climates which may stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. The oily skin has enlarged pores (follicles) that may be filled with dirt, dead tissue and sebum. Oily skin is more prone to pimples and blemishes. At the Skin Studio our goal is to educate our clients on proper home care and perform in-Studio treatments that will help regulate sebaceous glands and minimize clogged pores, pimples, and blemishes. Enlarged Pores Pores generally become enlarged because blackheads, sebum (oil) deposits, dead cells, makeup and other debris fill and stretch the pores. Enlarged pores cannot be made smaller, however, with deep cleansing the pore will tighten and appear smaller leaving them less noticeable. Seborrhea Seborrhea is a condition of the sebaceous glands in which excessive secretion or disturbed quality of sebum (oil) collects on the skin and forms an oily coating, crusts or scales accompanied with a itching or burning sensation. Treatment is designed to minimize the signs and symptoms."

"text": "Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain the interrelationships of the anatomy and functions of the hypothalamus and the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland Identify the two hormones released from the posterior pituitary, their target cells, and their principal actions Identify the six hormones produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, their target cells, their principal actions, and their regulation by the hypothalamus The hypothalamus–pituitary complex can be thought of as the “command center” of the endocrine system. This complex secretes several hormones that directly produce responses in target tissues, as well as hormones that regulate the synthesis and secretion of hormones of other glands. In addition, the hypothalamus–pituitary complex coordinates the messages of the endocrine and nervous systems. In many cases, a stimulus received by the nervous system must pass through the hypothalamus–pituitary complex to be translated into hormones that can initiate a response. The hypothalamus is a structure of the diencephalon of the brain located anterior and inferior to the thalamus (Figure 1). It has both neural and endocrine functions, producing and secreting many hormones. In addition, the hypothalamus is anatomically and functionally related to the pituitary gland (or hypophysis), a bean-sized organ suspended from it by a stem called the infundibulum (or pituitary stalk). The pituitary gland is cradled within the sellaturcica of the sphenoid bone of the skull. It consists of two lobes that arise from distinct parts of embryonic tissue: the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) is neural tissue, whereas the anterior pituitary (also known as the adenohypophysis) is glandular tissue that develops from the primitive digestive tract. The hormones secreted by the posterior and anterior pituitary, and the intermediate zone between the lobes are summarized in Table 1."

"text": "Hyperpigmentation An Overview of Human Pigmentation Human skin contains specialized cells, called melanocytes, which are located at the base of the epidermis. These cells are programmed to manufacture a brown pigment, called melanin, in response to exposure of skin to sunlight. Since melanin acts as a sunscreen, the production of this pigment by melanocytes is a defense response of the skin to the damaging and potential skin cancer causing rays of the sun. In addition to UV radiation, other factors can stimulate melanocytes to make melanin. Hormones, such as those in birth control pills can cause melanocyte “activation”, and exposure of the skin to any event that causes inflammation, such as acne, dermatitis, exposure to chemicals, etc., can also result in increased melanin production by melanocytes. Melanin production in human melanocytes is controlled primarily by the rate-limiting enzyme for melanin synthesis, tyrosinase, which catalyzes the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-DOPA and the oxidation of L-DOPA to dopaquinone. The subsequent steps in the pathway to melanin formation can occur non-enzymatically although two additional melanocyte-specific enzymes are thought to play a role in determining what type of melanin is formed. The chart on the left shows that the pathway can diverge to produce either a red/yellow type of melanin (pheomelanin), or brown/black melanin, called eumelanin. The type of melanin made is genetically determined, and results in some people having fair skin and red hair while others are dark-skinned and have dark hair."

Hearing)Abstract Human skin is repeatedly exposed to UVR that influences the function and survival of many cell types and is regarded as the main causative factor in the induction of skin cancer. It has been traditionally believed that skin pigmentation is the most important photoprotective factor, as melanin, besides functioning as a broadband UV absorbent, has antioxidant and radical scavenging properties. Besides, many epidemiological studies have shown a lower incidence for skin cancer in individuals with darker skin compared to those with fair skin. Skin pigmentation is of great cultural and cosmetic importance, yet the role of melanin in photoprotection is still controversial. This article outlines the major acute and chronic effects of UVR on human skin, the properties of melanin, the regulation of pigmentation and its effect on skin cancer prevention. Introduction Human skin is repeatedly exposed to various DNA-damaging environmental influences and therefore requires numerous endogenous mechanisms to protect against, reduce and/or repair such damage. These mechanisms include increasing epidermal thickness, DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis, antioxidant enzymes and, last but not least, skin pigmentation. UVR is the major environmental factor that influences the function and survival of many cell types and is regarded as the main causative factor in the induction of skin tumors like basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma. It has been traditionally believed that skin pigmentation is the most important photoprotective factor, as melanin, besides functioning as a broadband UV absorbent, has antioxidant and radical scavenging properties."

"text": "Melanocyte, specialized skin cell that produces the protective skin-darkening pigment melanin. Birds and mammals possess these pigment cells, which are found mainly in the epidermis, though they occur elsewhere—e.g., in the matrix of the hair. Melanocytes are branched, or dendritic, and their dendrites are used to transfer pigment granules to adjacent epidermal cells. Melanocytes produce the protective skin-darkening pigment melanin. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. All melanocytes, whether resident in the basal epidermis or in the matrix of the hair, have migrated there during embryonic life from a region known as the neural crest. Each epidermal melanocyte is associated with a group of neighbouring keratinocytes ( keratin -synthesizing epidermal cells) into which its dendrites transfer pigment. This structure is known as an epidermal melanocyte unit. The melanin produced by melanocytes is of two kinds: dark brown eumelanin and pale red or yellowish phaeomelanin. Both are formed within the melanocytes by the initial oxidation of the amino acid tyrosine with the aid of the enzyme tyrosinase; subsequently their synthetic pathways diverge."

The skin and its accessory structures make up the integumentary system, which provides the body with overall protection. The skin is made of multiple layers of cells and tissues, which are held to underlying structures by connective tissue ( Figure 1 ). The deeper layer of skin is well vascularized (has numerous blood vessels). It also has numerous sensory, and autonomic and sympathetic nerve fibers ensuring communication to and from the brain. Figure 1. Layers of Skin. The skin is composed of two main layers: the epidermis, made of closely packed epithelial cells, and the dermis, made of dense, irregular connective tissue that houses blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and other structures. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis, which is composed mainly of loose connective and fatty tissues."

Some simple problems are possible, but it would be best if students learn basic principles of inheritance using simpler autosomal and sex-linked traits, and then move up to coat color later. It is helpful if you teach students the biochemical pathway for melanin production first. After that, genotypes and phenotypes can be explained in terms of actual protein activities The specific proteins are described in more detail as part of the description of each locus. Biochemistry of Dog Coat Color The color of a dog’s coat is determined by relative levels of two pigments: eumelanin, which can be either brown or black, and pheomelanin, which is yellow to orange or red. Both pigments are generated by metabolism of tyrosine. A schematic diagram of the pathway is below. Schematic of the melanin synthesis pathways. In melanocytes, the default pathway produces yellow-red pheomelanin."

Kelsh Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-401730-6.00015-6 Get rights and content Most vertebrate pigment cells—melanocytes in mammals and birds, supplemented by two or more other pigment cell types in other vertebrates—are derived from the neural crest. They are attractive for genetic study because they are both prominent and dispensable—loss of pigment cells in itself is not lethal for the model organisms studied. Furthermore, they are important, both as a model for understanding neural crest stem cell development in itself, but also for the insight into numerous human pigmentation diseases, ranging from albinism to Waardenburg syndrome. Melanocyte genetics is well advanced, with key genes in fate specification, survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation all well studied. Knowledge of these processes in other pigment cells is less advanced, but the zebrafish model currently provides the lead in their understanding. In this brief review we outline this understanding for all pigment cell types, focusing on the melanocyte, and highlight some questions of key interest. Keywords Neural crest; pigment cells; development; melanocyte; xanthophore; iridophore;chromatophores; mouse; chicken; zebrafish Introduction Pigmentation is a characteristic widespread among the chordates, where its diverse functions include aiding visual acuity, protection against ultraviolet radiation, camouflage, and attraction of a mate. Most pigments are accumulated by specialized cells, termed pigment cells, derived early in embryonic development either directly from the neural plate (e.g., pigmented retinal epithelium (PRE) and the pineal organ pigment cells) [1] or from the neural crest [2] ; [3]. Neural crest-derived pigment cells (or chromatophores) are ancestrally very diverse [3] with fish, reptiles, and amphibians having up to at least seven pigment cell types, including melanocytes (usually black or brown), iridophores (reflective silver, blue, or gold), leucophores (white), xanthophores/erythrophores (yellow/red), cyanophores (blue), and irido-erythrophores (violet); Table 14.1. Mammals and birds have secondarily lost most of this diversity, retaining only melanocytes (and iridophores in birds) [7]. Different pigment cells are characterized by their synthesis or dietary accumulation of specific classes of pigments, usually in specialized pigment organelles ( Table 14.1 ). Pigment cells are prominently associated with the skin, residing in the dermis and/or epidermis, but are also found in many internal locations — for example, around the viscera."

While this predilection for dynamic distraction places us within the media mainstream, it doesn’t square with urban car culture. I'm sure you know that car owners who inflict double-dubs on their whips happily sacrifice ride and handling on the altar of, gulp, style. Even so, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve seen the light. Thanks to the Mercedes SL550, I now know middle aged white people can stunt and floss with the best (worst?) of them. Whether it’s Compton or Carmel, when it comes to making a statement in the ‘hood, the ideal car has to have both class and flash. If you consider these characteristics mutually exclusive, consider the SL550. On one hand, the roadster’s purposeful stance, balanced proportions and delightful details create an endlessly elegant, brand faithful gestalt. On the other hand, it’s da bomb."

This later becomes a huge setback for New Directions on their way to Sectionals because Sue sees the commercial and tells Figgins about it. No glee club can compete if they have been paid for their activity, and as the kids got paid in mattresses, they shouldn't be allowed compete because they have lost their amateur status. They give all the mattresses back, except for the one that Mr. Schue slept on (because of his break up with his wife Terri ).

For the first time in the history of the church, the pope-elect came by carriage, not on horseback, to Vatican City. Since then, popes have employed all sorts of four-wheeled vehicles to get from place to place. Below are 32 of those vehicles — some mammoth, others miniature. Some similarities: Many of the cars display the S. C. V.-1 license plate, a Vatican City State tag reserved for the pontiff. Most are emblazoned with the papal seal of the pope aboard. About a third come from luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz, but papal rides have been outfitted by local truck and car manufacturers, asked to design and deliver the vehicle in mere weeks. The Vatican almost always includes one request: provide high visibility for the pontiff to be seen by the crowds gathered for his blessing. After an assassination attempt on John Paul II in 1981, security concerns became a major driver in popemobile design. Several features now familiar to many, such as the bulletproof-glass-enclosed “pope box” design, became standard."

Yes, good people of Jalopnik, it's true: Friday is upon us once more. The week is almost over, the weekend is almost here, and that means the time has come for Letters to Doug, the weekly column where I almost answer your automotive questions. And remember: you, too, can participate in Letters to Doug by simply e-mailing me your question at [email protected], or by Tweeting me at @Doug De Muro. Names will be changed to protect the question asker, just in case you're wondering about something like the best car for transporting giant boxes of cocaine. ( Answer: Oldsmobile Silhouette with a rotary club bumper sticker. ) Anyway: on to this week's question, which comes to us from a loyal reader in Texas named Mike, who writes: Good morning, Doug!I bought from Car Max the 2004 CLK55 AMG you profiled a couple weeks ago. ( I had lost the car twice in the interim to people whose fubar credit meant they couldn't secure a $17k loan. ) I based my decision on your Range Rover adventures with Car Max, your recommendation of unreliable-yet-best cars, and the potent I-have-no-children-and-no-wife-and-my-Id-says-I-WANT-IT argument."

"text": "Home Car News Historic Cars The Fastest Mercedes Ever Built Car News Historic Cars Supercar News Mercedes-Benz The Fastest Mercedes Ever Built By Chris Wevers - 31st August 2012Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter The 1930s were an era of fierce competition. Technological advancements and rivalry between countries, fueled by nationalism, resulted in a race to the become the world’s fastest on land. Great-Britain, at the time the one to beat was challenged by Nazi-Germany, which has just developed its own racing program. The Germans had set their eyes on the world land speed record, but the road towards it wasn’t an easy one. German chancellor Adolf Hitler understood the symbolism behind racing cars as it could serve a prime example of German technological superiority. At the 1933 Berlin Motor Show, he announced a state-sponsored motor racing program to develop a “high speed German automotive industry”. Huge sums of Reichsmarks were poured into the program, resulting in a fleet of Silver Arrows – as the Mercedes and Auto Union teams were known ‒ which became the dominant Grand Prix cars of their time, to Hitler’s delight. National pride and prestige as was also at stake in the race to break the land speed record. In 1931, British driver Malcolm Campbell has set a land speed record of 395.5km/h (245.7mph). Four years later he became the first person to drive an automobile over 300mph, averaging 485km/h (301.3 mph) in two passes."

Miles Branman Digital Trends March 15, 2018Despite the increasing number of online resources and shifting dealer strategies, car shopping is still a headache. There’s a long list of confusing topics when choosing the right options, but when it comes to deciphering the difference between all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD), it can get a little bit tricky. Often, these terms are used interchangeably, but are they really the same? Quick answer: no, they are not the same. While they seem like they do the same thing, they are in fact very different, and the differences affect their functionality. So what’s the difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, how will each impact your daily driving life, and which badge belongs on your car?

"text": "\"Technical Anatomy Keyless Entry & Smart Key: What does Keyless Entry mean? Updated on January 2,2018What is Keyless Entry? Keyless Entry or Passive Entry is a terminology commonly used in an automotive technology, which locks and unlocks a vehicle without using a conventional key and/or pressing the buttons on the Remote / Smart Key. However, Keyless Entry DOES NOT mean that ‘there is no key’. Rather, it means that ‘there is NO need’ to physically enter the conventional (metal) key into the lock/ignition as was the case in the earlier generation cars. When you enter the vehicle with a Keyless Entry / Smart Key, you can start/stop the engine, without actually inserting the car key into the ignition switch. A built-in transponder of the Smart Key identifies the vehicle to which it is ‘associated’ and automatically activates its ignition. As a safety measure, a vehicle cannot be locked so long as its Smart Key remains inside that vehicle. However, Bosch is going ahead when it comes to technology. Bosch recently showcased new technology to the world called Bosch Perfectly Keyless."

Mercedes-Benz, a leader in the luxury car market, is still at the top of the charts in customer reviews and satisfaction. Mercedes-Benz was founded by Gottlieb Daimler in Stuttgart, Germany as a part of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG). Mercedes-Benz designed and built the first gas-powered motorcycle, and converted a steam-engine to a gasoline engine for automobiles in 1886. In 1900, Mercedes-Benz developed its official trade name, and designed a custom engine under the name Daimler-Mercedes. The engine was a success, and the first Mercedes-Benz car was released for sale in 1901 as the Mercedes 35 hp. The name of Mercedes was then applied to a series of models released for sale to the public."

"text": "Lobbyist Registration Requirements10/19/2017Lobbyist Regulation Definition of Lobbying/Lobbyist Lobbyist Reporting Lobbyist Registration Use of Public Funds to Lobby Every legislative body in the United States requires lobbyists to register. The form, oversight and cost of registration, however, do not operate the same between any two jurisdictions. The oversight of lobbyist registration by ethics commissions generally falls somewhere along a spectrum. At one end, ethics commissions have high degree of discretion over the content, form, and cost of filing. On the other end, states may prescribe all matters of registration by statute and grant the secretary of state custodial responsibility over filings while leaving ethics commissions out of the process. The differences in fees and information required to be disclosed similarly varies between states. This survey provides information on each state and territory's lobbying registration requirements, including who must register, what the registration fees are, and what information must, by statute, be contained within registration filings. Additional related information is available through the Oversight | Ethics Commissions and Committees page. This table is intended to provide general information and does not necessarily address all aspects of this topic. Because the facts of each situation may vary, this information may need to be supplemented by consulting legal advisors."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Enhanced 911, E-911 or E911 is a system used in North America to automatically provide to dispatchers the location of callers to 911, the universal emergency telephone number in the region. Outside Canada, Mexico, and the United States this type of facility is often called caller location, though its implementation is dependent on how the telephone network processes emergency calls. In the European Union it is known as E112 as 112 is the emergency access number there, labeled as e Call when called by the vehicle. An incoming 911 call is answered at the local governmental Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by a specially trained official known as a telecommunicator. Special computer software uses information provided by the telephone company to display to the telecommunicator the physical address or geographic coordinates of the caller, who can then dispatch police, fire, medical, and other services as needed. Automatic location of the emergency is intended to be faster and more reliable than verbal communication of the location, though this is usually requested anyway for confirmation. It also makes it possible for emergency services to respond when callers cannot communicate their location, because they do not know where they are, are too panicked, are a child, are distracted by the ongoing emergency, or do not wish to attract the attention of the perpetrator of a crime in progress. Calls made to non-911 emergency numbers (such as the direct line to a police or fire department) might not have automatic location enabled.

The huge patch comes in at 18GB on PS4 and Xbox One and 30GB on PS3 and Xbox 360. The biggest patch to date will bring in a huge amount of changes that fundamentally change how Destiny plays and also open up every Destiny player to a week-long preview of the new multiplayer content being added to the Crucible as part of The Taken King. Why advertise with us Bungie has published in-depth patch notes here. Two new multiplayer modes – Rift, a capture-the-flag-style mode, and Mayhem, a mode that increases the recharge of super abilities – as well as eight new maps from part of the preview event but will only be available to The Taken King owners from 15 September. A new experience system represents the biggest change, refocusing the oft-criticised Light system into something easier to understand. Rather than needing specific weapons and armour to achieve a higher level, they will be unlocked by gaining experience, with Light now an average of the player's attack and defence ratings. From 9 September Armsday events will take place. These weekly events will see the game's gunsmith Banshee-44 lending the player weapons and setting them tasks which in turn earn reputation with Banshee, unlocking more powerful weapons. A new Quest system is also being implemented that will make it easier to track quests and there will be an increase in the amount of bounties a player can have active at one time − from 10 to 16."

"text": "Guides Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Guide: How To Get A D-Dog September 1, 2015 1 comment Khurram Imtiaz Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain allows you to recruit a variety of characters in the game. This is defined by the game as a “Buddy” system and you can select your “Buddy” before starting each of the mission in the game. D-Dog (Diamond Dog) is one of the “Buddy” that you can recruit in the game and this guide covers details on how to recruit him. How To Recruit D-Dog D-Dog can be recruited randomly rather than through a story mission. The earliest you can recruit the dog is when you start Story Mission 4. You will see a small pup near the landing of the helicopter. You will have the option to tranquilize him and Fulton back to the Mother Base. This will allow you to add him as a “Buddy” in the game. In case you miss it during this point in the game, you will be able to locate him later in other story missions randomly wandering around the world map. How To Use D-Dog D-Dog will be found as a pup so he will require some time to grow up in the game."

"text": "\"I know what you're thinking. \"\" There's no way this man is serious\"\", you thought to yourself after reading the title of this article. Well, I am serious, and I'm ready to explain why you need to start using Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 's Water Pistol more often. Made available about halfway through the campaign, the Water Pistol is unlocked for a mere 1,000 GMP. At first, it appears to be a joke weapon placed in the game by Hideo Kojima for a good laugh. Only espionage masters trained in the art of Mac Gyver and those who have been sprayed in the face by a Super Soaker truly understand its power. Tossed into your deployment loadout for far less than any other sidearm, the Water Pistol is a trusty weapon that any true Big Boss should master. It isn't conventional by any means, but offers a wide range of tactical options in addition to nourishment during long travels through Afghanistan and Africa. Let's look at what this \"\"water-based weapon system\"\" can do. One common situation that you might find yourself in often is where a guard is defending a position that counters your intended path."

March 5, 2015With the release of \"\"Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain\"\" soon approaching, fans are expressing their high expectations for the upcoming title. However, PC gamers will be unhappy to know that the game is not available for preloading. The game has been facing drama between the developers Konami and Hideo Kojima. Recently, the game's cover was released for a second time, which got rid of Hideo Kojima's name. This then confirmed the end of the partnership between the two. With Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain as their last title together, gamers have big hopes for the game. Unfortunately, the title will not be available for preloading prior to the launch. PC gamers have the habit of preloading games before they launch, in order to avoid the slow download once they have been released. The release date usually finds a slow loading speed that could take up to a week to finish."

First, you must develop a loudspeaker for the helicopter itself, by going to i Droid > Mother Base > Development > Helicopter : Since the SPEAKER development is an upgrade, denoted by the giant plus sign on the right side of its icon, you do not need to equip it explicitly. Once development is complete, the helicopter automatically has the loudspeaker built into it. Now you can now assign music in the i Droid > Missions > Cassette Tapes screen: Once you have the desired song highlighted, the button to press is Square (on the PS4) for Set Helicopter Music . Your platform will show the appropriate key bind at the bottom there. I have heard that players on PC can import custom music of their own, but I haven't had any direct experience with that process myself.share improve this answeranswered Sep 6 '15 at 7:40jlucktay683 7 161A note for PC players: the game's folder contains a \"\"Custom Soundtracks\"\" folder.

Each new designer hoping to enchant players with new: Characters Stories Art Worlds While there is no way to count them all, we’re confident that, right now, thousands of aspiring designers across the world are brainstorming ideas, refining existing mechanics, and creating the our favorite new characters. Finding Inspiration in Successful Gamer Designers What we can say with certainty is that almost every game designer has been inspired by at least one game designer before him or her. We’ve put together a list of video game designers we feel have been both inspiring and successful. These designers are responsible for some of the most influential titles in gaming history and to this day still use their talent and passion to create new memorable experiences.1. Hideo Kojima Between releasing the first feature Metal Gear Solid installment in seven years and problems with his long-time company, few designers have been drawing as much attention lately as Kojima. The Japanese developer has been part of the industry for more than 2 decades, getting his start with Konami in 1968 while working on the very first Metal Gear. What’s interesting, however, is that games were just a hobby for Kojima, whose real interest was in film and its ability to tell complex yet fascinating stories. Kojima’s love for storytelling paid off with Metal Gear Solid, a game considered to be one of the best ever designed. The Play Station title was only the start of a long line of acclaimed games, which has culminated to this year’s anticipated release: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain."

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has taken to Twitter to explain why (it wasn't a reference to Escape from New York's S. D. Bob \"\"Snake\"\" Plissken, apparently). Let's start with Snake. Metal Gear's sneaky special operative was named Snake because, according to Kojima, \"\"snake was the most appropriate symbol of living thing that hides his presence and sneaks without any noise\"\". That all makes sense, but why not go with a specific snake, such as cobra, anaconda or viper? \"\" Because the protagonist is the player,\"\" Kojima explained. Now, on to why Kojima opted for the Solid moniker. \"\" The reason I use Solid was to give opposite impression of soft image,\"\" Kojima said. The reason I used Snake as code name in MG was snake was the most appropriate symbol of living thing that hides his presence, (cont)— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) March 6, 2014Kojima also revealed his thinking behind Solid Snake's numerous enemies throughout the popular stealth series."

You should be keeping a close eye on this at the beginning and end of every mission, and also checking in whenever there's a lull in an op. So why visit Mother Base? First, it's a great place for Snake to get a Shower which keeps the buzzing flies off him during missions.

"text": "Recently, Hideo Kojima and Konami decided to split shortly after the former completes Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and based on what little information we have, their divorce is messy. Caught in crossfire of this power struggle is P. T., which the publisher recently pulled from PSN. In addition, Konami has removed Kojima’s name from its upcoming products, and, to add the final nail to the coffin, canceled the Silent Hills. Understandably confused and upset, fans have banded together to create a petition, naively hoping that this will be enough to convince Hideo Kojima to continue working on the game with Guillermo del Torro. As a long time fan, I feel the pain caused by the professional divorce. I, too, have cringed at the mishaps that Western developers have made with the franchise since Team Silent left Konami; and although I was skeptical about Kojima taking over the franchise, I was ready for him to assume the role of the new stepparent after playing P. T. Obviously, the divorce metaphor begins to fall apart because fans will (hopefully) not blame themselves for the two’s severing of ties; nonetheless, there are many fans desperately attempting to rekindle the flame - 112,702 petition supporters, in fact, at the time of writing. But what the creator of this petition and supporters need to realize is that the development behind Silent Hills has deeper issues, and it simply isn’t going to happen. Advertisement Why We’re Crushing on Ivy HARD A Look Back at Five Years of PS4 Are Mobile Games Finally Worth Playing? What Happens When the Bitcoin Bubble Bursts? More Special Features... The petition was clearly a passionate reaction to the bad news."

"text": "With the price of housing still beyond the reach of many families, many people are turning to double-wide mobile homes as their first residential purchase. These structures are cheaper than permanent houses, although homeowners are often charged monthly rent for the land on which the double-wide sits. The cost of roofing for these mobile homes varies by material. Many modern double-wides look like permanent houses from above. Calculations Because modern mobile homes have rooflines similar to permanent houses, the costs of roofing for both types of structures are the same and depend on surface area. For example, assume a home measuring 26 feet and 6 inches by 60 feet. Multiplying the two values yields 1,600 square feet. Multiplying this square footage by a standard multiplier of 1.35 for an average pitched roof yields 2,160 square feet of area. This surface area that needs to be covered by roofing material is the same whether the structure is a permanent house or a mobile home. Asphalt Asphalt is a popular roofing material for all types of homes, including double-wides, because it is inexpensive, durable and low-maintenance."

"text": "Over time, the roof of even the most beautiful home begins to show signs of wear and tear. Many homeowners have chosen to replace their roofs with metal roofing material. This cost guide will discuss the costs of metal roof installation, as well as some of the pros and cons of its use. The Costs Average costs based on a 6,500-square-foot roof: Metal roof minimum: $48,750Metal roof maximum: $65,000Minimum price per square foot: $7.50Maximum price per square foot: $10Costs of Installation The cost of installing a metal roof on a home is going to vary depending on certain factors such as the materials used and the size of the roof. A roof that is approximately 6,500 square feet with a relatively moderate pitch that arises approximately 8 inches for every foot that it runs is going to cost around $7.50 to $10 per square foot. This brings the total price for the roof materials and labor to approximately $49,000 to $65,700 for a 6,500-square-foot roof. Conversely, a 25-foot by 40-foot roof that is built using galvanized corrugated metals and zinc-coated steel fasteners will cost approximately $17,500 to install. In this example, the primary cost for installation will be the metal panels themselves. These panels come in a traditional steel metal that has a zinc coating or fluoropolymer paint-coated corrugated metal. Stone-coated steel is an even less-expensive option."

"text": "What is a reasonable cost to install a metal shake Back to Estimate Questions Back to Archive Back to Forum Guest User7/22/2002I have a 20 year, 2500 sq/ft, cedar shake roof that needs replacement. I would like to use metal shakes. I have gotten, so far, two estimates of approximately $29,000. I could not believe that could be the cost so I checked the cost of the roofing material plus accessories with the metal roofing distributer. That cost is approximately $130 per sq. or about $3300 for my roof. The two companies are charging me $1160 per sq. How is this a reasonable cost for doing business when they expect $27,000 for labour and overhead? If the metal industry expects to grow in the average homeowner market there had better be a more affordable way to get a metal roof installed. I have looked at the product and its specifications and would love to have it on my house, but I can tell you there is no way I can afford $30,000 for a new roof."

These supply costs include items required for preparation, bonding, fabrication and surface patching as well as a rental allowance for professional fabrication and installation tools. As with most construction installation costs, there may be a significant cost variance due to complex roofing configurations. Also, higher priced standing seam roofing materials might include additional features such as top quality underlayment, increased damage resistance, thicker roofing material and extended warranty terms. Materials Standing seam roofing is the most common style and form of metal roofing systems. It is an extremely effective, durable and long lasting style of roof that is comprised of metal panels that run from the top of the roof to the eaves."

"text": "Home > Home Improvement > Roofing > Flat Roof Cost How Much Does a Flat Roof Cost? Flat Roof Prices Flat roofs are increasingly popular in modern architecture because of their ability to encompass the long, flat lines of a natural landscape. Flat roofing is not in fact flat, as it contains a slope of approximately 1/8 inch to aid in the drainage of rain and snow. Cheaper to install than a pitched roof, a flat roof is also safer to access and can be used as a place to sit and hang out. To learn more about flat roof solutions, including how much they cost, continue reading. Types of Flat Roofs Among the most popular flat roof types are built up roofing, singly-ply membrane roofs, sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF), asphalt roll roofing, and flat metal roofs. A brief description of these flat roof materials is provided below. Built Up Roof: A built up roof (BUR) is a layered roofing system that alternates plies of roofing felt, waterproof materials (usually fiberglass), and hot tar (bitumen). While fire resistant and inexpensive, the roofing is messy and smelly to install. It can last up to 30 years."

"text": "Home > Home Improvement > Roofing > Shingle Roof vs a Metal Roof How Much Does an Asphalt Shingle Roof vs a Metal Roof Cost? Asphalt Shingle Roof versus Metal Roof Prices The huge number of roofing options available in the marketplace can make it difficult to choose a material for your new roof. If you're interested primarily in value, however, you can narrow your choices down to asphalt shingle roofing and metal roofing. Presented below is an overview of asphalt shingle roofs and metal roofs and how much you can expect to pay for each. Asphalt Roof Asphalt roof shingles are by far the most common roofing material in the United States, and for good reason. They are a low-cost option that that, with a typical 20 to 30 year guarantee, holds up well under extreme temperatures, wind, water, fire, and ice. Asphalt roofing shingles require little maintenance and are easy to repair if damaged. Although common, asphalt shingles don't have to be boring. They are available in a wide variety of colors and styles, and some even mimic more expensive materials such as slate and wood shake. Choose from standard three-tab asphalt shingles or take a step up in quality by installing architectural asphalt shingles."

"text": "Metal roofing is an excellent choice for quality-minded homeowners, because it is virtually the only lifetime roofing system that is light-weight, long-lasting, and most of all – affordable. There is much confusion about the cost of metal roofs, as there is a wide range of styles and materials to choose from, with some costing a lot more than others. In this guide, we will show you how much you should expect to pay for different metal roofing systems, and how the choice of different metals will affect your total cost. Cost of Metal vs Other Alternatives Many people considering metal roofing, make a common mistake of comparing its cost to asphalt shingles (the most common and inexpensive option for sloped roofs). This is not an accurate comparison: metal roofs are a lifetime roofing material, while asphalt shingles are not. You can expect to replace an average asphalt shingle roof every 15 years. Even the “50 years” or “lifetime” asphalt shingles won’t last more than 25-30 years, as they will simply dry out / roast under sun’s heat and ultraviolet rays. Consequently, metal roofs costs 2-3 times more than asphalt shingles. Even if you only replace an asphalt shingles roof twice over the course of 30-40 years, you will end up paying the same amount of money or more than it would have cost you to initially install a metal roof. In terms of price differences, metal should be compared to its counter-parts in the roofing market – other lifetime roofs, such as natural slate, clay Spanish tiles, concrete tiles, and lately, synthetic slate roofing."

"text": "New roofing: How many years can it last? Rob Sabo | Improvement Center Columnist | December 6, 2012If you are considering re-roofing your home, your investment in roofing materials has a direct correlation to how long you can expect your new roof to last. The longest-lasting roofing products are inherently extremely durable, such as concrete, clay or slate tiles and significantly outperform other natural products like wood shakes. Manufactured roofing materials -- asphalt shingles, metal roofing -- have a good lifespan but are not as durable. It's also important to keep in mind that regional weather conditions, the design of your building, amount of routine maintenance and the quality of the roofing products you purchase play crucial roles in determining the life expectancy of roofing materials. New roofing: How long do products last? According to the National Association of Home Builders, most roofing products are designed to last a minimum of several decades under normal weather conditions. Here's a closer look at how the NAHB rates the longevity of different roofing materials: Asphalt shingles -- Typically, asphalt shingles last about 20 years; however, higher-quality asphalt shingles are warrantied for up to 50 years. Expect to pay more for a premium, long-life product. Architectural asphalt -- These products last about 30 years on average."

"text": "Flat Roofs - Average Cost, Pros & Cons and Types Everything You Need To Know About Flat Roofs Flat roofs have long been used to create an architectural statement. They’re found on modern, Spanish-style homes and, in some cases, historic homes. In some Southwestern states, nearly half the homes have flat roofs. Flat roofs are easier to construct and safer to stand on than sloped roofs. But if you have a flat roof, you know they’re inherently problematic. They are prone to leaks because rain and snow don’t slide off as easily, and they don’t last as long. Flat roofs can cost anywhere from $200 to $700 per square to install (a square equals 100 square feet). For a roof with 2,500 square feet or 25 squares, which is fairly typical, that’s anywhere from $5,000 to $17,500.

Pure quartzite is grayish rock with only one dominating mineral — quartz. Width of sample 14 cm. The transition from sandstone to quartzite is gradational. There is little mineralogical change. Quartz, the main constituent of sandstone, is not altered to other minerals if the sandstone is relatively pure, but it is recrystallized during the metamorphism. Original grainy look of sandstone is lost to a variable degree. Some quartzites are still similar to sandstones, only more strongly held together, while others are completely recrystallized so that all the features like fossils or original texture are obliterated and grain boundaries have disappeared.

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).

Marble has many color variances due to the impurities present at formation. Some of the different colors of marble are white, red, black, mottled and banded, gray, pink, and green. Marble is much harder than its parent rock. This allows it to take a polish which makes it a good material for use as a building material, making sink tops, bathtubs, and a carving stone for artists. Today, headstones are made from marble and granite because both of these rocks weather very slowly and carve well with sharp edges.

"text": "Geological cycle includes many processes acting simultaneously. The most important of these begin with molten magma from within the earth forming into rock, then continue with rocks being broken down into soil, and that soil being converted back into rock. Rocks are classified according to their place in the geologic cycle. The three major categories are: Igneous,Sedimentary and Metamorphic Types of Rocks and types of rock formations Igneous Rock: The geologic cycle begins with magma, a molten rock deep inside the earth. This magma cools as it moves upward toward the ground surface, forming igneous rocks. Classification of Igneous Rock: On the basis texture (size, shape and arrangement of mineral grains in a rock) and mode of occurance, Igneous rock is divided broadly into two types: Intrusive (also called plutonic rocks): form below the ground surface, where they cool slowly,Extrusive (also called volcanic rocks) arrive at the ground surface in a molten state, such as through volcanic eruption. This type of igneous rock cool very rapidly.1. Igneous Rock formation: Hypabyssal Rock: Hypabyssal rocks are formed when consolidation of magma takes place very close to the earth’s surface in the form of smaller sheet like bodies (known as sills and dykes) that fill cracks inside other rocks. Some extrusive generally have finer grained, smoother surfaces. Some extrusive materials, such as volcanic ash, bypasses the rock stage and forms directly into sediment Common Igneous Rocks Some common igneous rocks include: Granite: is coarse grained, an intrusive rock."

Answer by Paul Jones Confidence votes 86.3KOwner of Jones Mineral Cabinet, Geology and Paleontology Supervisor, interested in Earth and Planetary sciences Accumulating deposits of sand from wind or water deposition are initially created. The weight from the deposits above cause compaction of the lower deposits. Compaction forces out air and water that exists between the sand grains. Minerals form from the remaining concentrated solutions in a process called precipitation. These minerals act as a cement which binds the particles of sand together, creating sandstone.12 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No How does sandstone form? Sandstone is formed by sand-sized minerals or rock grains. It is aclastic sedimentary rock that has the most common minerals in the Earth's crust such as feldspar or quartz."

New minerals and new textures are formed. Major Concepts During metamorphism platy minerals grow in the direction of least stress producing foliation. Rocks with only one, non-platy, mineral produce nonfoliated rocks such as quartzite or marble. Two types of metamorphism: contact and regional. Major Concepts Foliated rocks - slate, phyllite, schist, gneiss, mylonite Non-foliated rocks - quartzite, marble, hornfels, greenstone, granulite Mineral zones are used to recognize metamorphic facies produced by systematic pressure and temperature changes.

Eroded materials are carried down our muddy rivers and deposited in layers on the sea bed. As more layers are deposited on top, the lower layers suffer more and more pressure which cause a heat buildup. Pressure and heat cause compaction into harder rock. Erosion eventually reveals them at the surface. Since the colors differ between summer and winter or between wet season and dry, so the layers in the sediments on the sea floor are different, showing up later as layers.metamorphic Metamorphic rocks are the third type of rock. Meta = change; morph = shape or form. Metamorphic rock is produced when sedimentary, igneous and other metamorphic rocks are subjected to sufficient pressure and heat to change their crystal structure and size. This pressure is due to distance underground and that pressure produces heat. Texture There are 3 types of igneous rock types distinguished by their texture: Extrusive rocks Extrusive rocks have invisible or very small grains because they cooled quickly (over periods of seconds to months), near or above the ground from lava."

To aid in their study of the earth, geologists group rocks into three categories based on their origin: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Each category is then further subdivided. Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks are those that solidify from a molten or partially molten state. These rocks are characterized as either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive Rocks Extrusive igneous rocks solidify from molten material that flows over the earth’s surface (lava). Extrusive igneous rocks typically have a fine-grained texture (individual minerals are not visible unless magnified) because the lava cools rapidly when exposed to the atmosphere, preventing crystal growth. Common extrusive rocks are basalt, andesite, and rhyolite."

"text": "10.2 Classification of Metamorphic Rocks There are two main types of metamorphic rocks. Foliated metamorphic rocks form under directed pressure (pressure that is not the same in all directions) or shear stress (forces acting parallel to each other, and having the result of “smearing” the rock). Non-foliated rocks form where pressure is uniform, or near the surface with very little pressure at all. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks also form when the parent rock consists of blocky minerals (e.g., quartz, calcite) which can’t be aligned because they aren’t longer in any one dimension. How Foliation Develops When a rock is squeezed under directed pressure during metamorphism, this can change the texture such that minerals are elongated in the direction perpendicular to the main stress (Figure 10.5). Figure 10.5 Squeezing during metamorphism causes minerals to stretch out perpendicular to the direction of greatest stress. [ SE]When a rock is both heated and squeezed during metamorphism, and the temperature change is enough for new minerals to form from existing ones, the new minerals can be forced to grow with their long axes [1] perpendicular to the direction of squeezing. This is illustrated in Figure 10.6. On the left, bedding is represented by the diagonal lines. After both heating and squeezing, new minerals have formed within the rock (right), generally parallel to each other."

Changes in rocks are a slow process resulting in an altered appearance and form as a result of different conditions. Temperature, pressure and chemically changed environments are the usual catalysts of change in metamorphic rock. Background Quartzite is originally sandstone that undergoes metamorphism via intense heat and pressure. The quartz grains are highly compacted resulting in a dense rock. Quartzite has a high degree of quartz -- 90 percent or more -- and is the most concentrated, purest form of silica found on Earth. They tend to form when continents collide with each other to create mountains. Features Quartzite is usually snowy white and occasionally pink or gray. Dark colors are rare. The structure is smooth and hard-wearing with a granular appearance and tends to be seen in hill or mountain ranges, or on rocky coastlines."

"text": "Earth Materials and Structure Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks are formed by the alteration of pre-existing rocks from exposure to heat and pressure while remaining in a solid form. Metamorphism occurs by breaking bonds between atoms in a mineral so that the atoms rearrange themselves into new, more stable, mineral forms. Rocks are transformed and remain in a solid state because not all the bonds in the rock's minerals are broken - if they were the rock would melt. Metamorphism occurs in solid rock because only some of the bonds between atoms are broken in an unstable mineral. As a result, the freed atoms and ions can migrate to another location within the mineral, or bond with atoms in a different mineral. The end result is to produce minerals that are more stable under the environmental conditions in which they exist. Metamorphism involves the transformation of a pre-existing rock to form new minerals and textures. The original mineral content of a rock can change in several ways. Unstable minerals like clays will breakdown and their elements will recombine to form new minerals. More stable minerals like quartz, will stay quartz but change shape and size to form a new configuration."

Writing the proposal of a qualitative study, however, can be a challenging feat, due to the emergent nature of the qualitative research design and the description of the methodology as a process. Even today, many sub-standard proposals at post-graduate evaluation committees and application proposals to be considered for funding are still seen. This problem has led the researcher to develop a framework to guide the qualitative researcher in writing the proposal of a qualitative study based on the following research questions: (i) What is the process of writing a qualitative research proposal? and (ii) What does the structure and layout of a qualitative proposal look like? The purpose of this article is to discuss the process of writing the qualitative research proposal, as well as describe the structure and layout of a qualitative research proposal. The process of writing a qualitative research proposal is discussed with regards to the most important questions that need to be answered in your research proposal with consideration of the guidelines of being practical, being persuasive, making broader links, aiming for crystal clarity and planning before you write. While the structure of the qualitative research proposal is discussed with regards to the key sections of the proposal, namely the cover page, abstract, introduction, review of the literature, research problem and research questions, research purpose and objectives, research paradigm, research design, research method, ethical considerations, dissemination plan, budget and appendices.

Bacterial vaginosis is a mild infection of the vagina caused by bacteria. Normally, there are a lot of \"\"good\"\" bacteria and some \"\"bad\"\" bacteria in the vagina. The good types help control the growth of the bad types. In women with bacterial vaginosis, the balance is upset. There are not enough good bacteria and too many bad bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis is usually a mild problem that may go away on its own in a few days. But it can lead to more serious problems. So it's a good idea to see your doctor and get treatment. What causes bacterial vaginosis?"

"text": "Bacterial Vaginosis During Pregnancy Bacterial Vaginosis During Pregnancy Certain pregnancy problems are more common in women who have bacterial vaginosis than in women who do not. Bacterial vaginosis has been linked to miscarriage, preterm delivery (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy ), and pelvic infection after childbirth. Experts continue to research whether it is a direct or indirect cause. Screening and treatment If you are pregnant and have symptoms of a vaginal infection, it is important to be tested for bacterial vaginosis. If you are pregnant and do not have symptoms of a vaginal infection, talk to your doctor about what is best for you. If you are at low risk for preterm delivery, experts recommend no routine testing. But if you are at high risk for preterm delivery, experts don't know for sure if routine testing is helpful or harmful. Over the past few years, experts have found conflicting evidence that antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis may prevent preterm labor. Some recent reviews of studies suggest that antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis do not prevent preterm birth. But antibiotics do lower the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes (p PROM), a condition that leads to preterm birth and sometimes infection."

The theme of our upcoming conference is Challenge Accepted, and we are focusing on exploring the challenging parts of the teacher-librarian role. We are looking for teacher-librarians to lead two types of sessions. The first type will be hands-on or concrete sessions with an emphasis on involving participants. A goal of this session should be for participants to leave with something they can use in their library/learning commons right away. These sessions could be:· hands-on use of robotics, coding, makerspace or other ADST technology· exploration of websites/databases related to library/learning commons· sharing of lessons used in the library/learning commons· specific instruction/tips on the teacher-librarian role – such as collection development, weeding, and event promotion (e.g. DEAR, Freedom to Read), etc. The second type of session will involve facilitating discussion and action planning around a particularly challenging topic in librarianship. If you are interested in facilitating this type of workshop, we will need the question or questions you are prepared to lead discussions on as well as a very brief description of your expertise in this area. If you have a session proposal but aren’t sure if it fits into one of the above two categories, please feel free to send us your proposal anyway. We are very interested to hear about anything BC teacher-librarians are studying or doing in their schools."

DI GIACOMO Conservation of pampas and campos grasslands in Argentina SANTIAGO KRAPOVICKAS AND A DRIÁN S. DI GIACOMO The pampas and campos grassland ecosystems in the southern part of the plains in north-eastern Argentina are described. Details of the vegetation and fauna are given and agricultural land use is evaluated. The effects of human activities on soil erosion and nutrient impoverishment are mentioned, along with the implications of agrochemical usage. The biodiversity loss attributed to these activities is assessed, with examples given of several large mammals lost from the area. Internationally- funded conservation efforts in the region are described, as well as the Pampas Argentina Project which examines bird-life. It is concluded that the survival of pampas and campos biodiversity will rely on public education of the environmental and socioeconomic benefits of grasslands. T HE MAIN grassland ecosystems in Argentina are the pampas and campos, covering the southern part of the chaco-pampas plains in the north-eastern region of the country (Figure 1). The surface area of this biome in Argentina has been estimated at 468,000 km2 (APN 1998)."

"text": "\"By de Traci Regula Updated 08/01/17Share Pin Email•••Kalokairi, the island in the \"\"Mamma Mia\"\" movie starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, is actually really named Skopelos. The island is in the Aegean Sea off the coast of mainland Greece. Kalokairi is a made-up island name just used in the \"\"Mamma Mia\"\" movie and has nothing to do with Skopelos itself. In Greek, Kalokairi means \"\"summer,\"\" so just about any Greek island could be called a \"\"summer island. \"\" For more information on the \"\"Mamma Mia\"\" movie locations, including where some of the stars lived and dined on Skopelos, check out Mamma Mia Movie Locations. Skopelos is part of the Sporades island group of Greece. Alternate spellings: Skopelos is sometimes spelled Scopelos. Why You Should Go to Skopelos Even if you don't love \"\"Mamma Mia,\"\" Skopelos is a relatively unspoiled island catering to British and Greek tourists. It's considered an expensive island by Greek standards, definitely not catering to the backpacker crowd. Since the \"\"Mamma Mia\"\" movie, the island has seen a bit of a surge in tourists."

Definition of a Predictor Variable Mia is a psychologist who is interested in developing a program for first generation college students. In order to gain baseline data that can be used to create her program, Mia decides to conduct a study. Mia wants to know if a relationship exists between first generation college students' attendance and grade point average. More specifically, she wants to test her hypothesis that attendance can be used to predict grade point average. In this example, attendance is the predictor variable. A predictor variable is a variable that is being used to predict some other variable or outcome. In the example we just used now, Mia is using attendance as a means to predict another variable, grade point average."

"text": "Latent Ambiguity Law and Legal Definition Latent ambiguity is an ambiguity that does not readily appear on the face of a document. The ambiguity becomes apparent only in the light of knowledge gained from a collateral matter. Extrinsic evidence can be used to clarify latent ambiguities, but not patent ambiguities. When used in the context of wills, latent ambiguity is an ambiguity which is not discoverable from reading the will, but which appears upon consideration of the extrinsic circumstances. The following is an example of a case law on latent ambiguity: A latent ambiguity exists if the meaning of language used in a written agreement becomes uncertain when applied to the subject matter of the contract. The latent ambiguity, however, must become evident when the contract is read in the context of the surrounding circumstances, not after parol evidence of intent is admitted to create an ambiguity. Thus, in determining whether a latent ambiguity exists, courts may examine surrounding circumstances and the subject matter of the contract. [ Amigo Broad., LP v. Spanish Broad. Sys.,"

Definition and Usage The @media rule is used in media queries to apply different styles for different media types/devices. Media queries can be used to check many things, such as:width and height of the viewportwidth and height of the deviceorientation (is the tablet/phone in landscape or portrait mode? ) resolution Using media queries are a popular technique for delivering a tailored style sheet (responsive web design) to desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. You can also use media queries to specify that certain styles are only for printed documents or for screen readers (mediatype: print, screen, or speech). In addition to media types, there are also media features. Media features provide more specific details to media queries, by allowing to test for a specific feature of the user agent or display device. For example, you can apply styles to only those screens that are greater, or smaller, than a certain width. Browser Support The numbers in the table specifies the first browser version that fully supports the @media rule.

"text": "Beatrice, or Tris, is the protagonist and heroine of Divergent: a brave, curious young woman who struggles to find an identity for herself and also feels a strong desire to protect other people. At the beginning of the novel, Tris lives in Abnegation; i.e., she lives a monastic, ascetic life. Although she lives in a society where all people must choose between one of five factions—essentially, five personality types—Tris refuses (and indeed is unable) to be bound by any one of these. This makes her “ Divergent ,” a quality that has both its positives and its negatives—the most obvious drawback being that the government wants to kill off anyone who doesn’t conform to a faction. She chooses to train and live among the Dauntless—those who prize courage and bravery—and yet even among the Dauntless, she feels a profound sense of dissatisfaction. Over the course of the book, Tris develops a “moral code” of her own—influenced, but not defined by the laws and rules of Dauntless or Abnegation. As a part of this moral code, Tris learns to protect other people, even when doing so endangers her own life. And yet Tris also learns how to respect herself and take care of herself—in short, she learns how to be selfish and selfless. Even at the end of the novel, Tris isn’t sure what kind of person she is, or what community she belongs to. We can expect that she’ll confront these questions in the next two books in the Divergent trilogy."

"text": "\"Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa At the start of Night Prayer, the rubric says that \"\" here an examination of conscience is commended. In a common celebration this may be inserted in a penitential act using the formulas given in the Missal \"\". A few days ago, I thought it might be a good idea to start using the new English translation of the \"\"I confess\"\" at this point. In the \"\"previous\"\" translation, the phrase \"\"mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa\"\" does not really exist - it is conflated into an earlier phrase and appears only as \"\"... I have sinned through my own fault \"\". The principle behind this, I guess, was that of removing unnecessary repetition, though it probably was not even a particularly good implementation of that principle. In the new translation, it appears accompanied by the rubric \"\"striking their breast, they say\"\" as: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault The effect of this when it is prayed within the context of Night Prayer, and immediately following an examination of conscience, is interesting. It expresses, and therefore at the same time communicates to the person praying it, a real sense of the wrongness of what they have just considered in their examination of conscience. That has been my own experience, at any rate. For many people, this enhanced awareness of a sense of sin will be a pastoral advantage of the new translation when compared to the previous translation and has the potential to provide a positive impetus towards conversion of life. However, particularly in a situation where someone repeatedly commits a sin which is addictive in nature, or where someone's life situation means that they suffer for reasons that are not their own fault, it might lead to an exaggeration in the sense of sin, a sense of \"\"guilt\"\" in the unhealthy meaning of that word."

When the novel begins, Leah is adjusting to her new life in the Congo, where her father has moved to work as a missionary. She slowly begins to educate herself in the ways of Congolese culture, developing a deep respect for her neighbors’ way of life. At the same time, Leah struggles with a strong sense of guilt at being the descendant of Europeans—i.e., the people who enslaved and tortured the people of the Congo for centuries. Leah channels her passion for the Congolese (and, it must be said, her guilt) into a career as a schoolteacher in the Congo. While she continues to feel guilty at being a white American among Africans, she never lets this affect her loving relationship with Anatole Ngemba —an intelligent, equally passionate devotee of human rights.

"text": "\"Themes and Colors Lit Charts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Amusing Ourselves to Death, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work. Much of the book’s argument takes the form of a historical account that tracks the development of public discourse over time. Postman’s historical account is actually quite vast in scope: The Iliad, Plato, Jesus, the Protestant Reformation, and American history from its colonization to the present are all included in the story Postman tells about the history of media and their effects on culture. His argument essentially articulates how, in many ways, the history of public discourse is the history of different media forms achieving dominance. The Iliad was the product of an oral culture, while in Plato’s day, the rise of writing was at the center of a cultural shift. The Protestant Reformation was then made possible by the printing press, and in America, there is now a shift occurring between print and image. Along with providing a lens through which to view the history of public discourse, Postman is also invested in demonstrating that this history, especially in America, is headed in a certain direction. In other words, not all kind of discourse are, in Postman’s account, created equal. His historical account then asks us to wonder about the damage potentially caused by the legacy of television in American history. Get the entire Amusing Ourselves Lit Chart as a printable PDF."

Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced a new addition to its low-cost smartphone range, the new Lumia 540 dual SIM, which offers some improvements on its predecessor, the ever-so-slightly-cheaper Lumia 535 dual SIM. With the Lumia 540 dual SIM, Microsoft has once again expanded the range of price points and features among its lower-tier devices. The five-inch display Windows 8.1 smartphone will start shipping to the India, Middle East, Asia Pacific and Italy this May with a recommended retail price of $149. It's a bit of curious release, given that Microsoft only launched the very similarly priced and specced Lumia 535 dual SIM last November, priced at around $140. Nonetheless, the 540 does bring a handful of improvements compared to its forerunner. While the dual SIM Lumia 535 and Lumia 540 share the same processor, display size, and memory, the newer phone includes a bigger battery, better display resolution, and improved main camera.

"text": "Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL available for pre-order across Europe Post your comment Comments (54)George 10 October, 2015Microsoft Windows Phone Microsoft's latest flagships Lumia 950 and 950 XL are now available for pre-order across Europe, after being initially listed in the UK only. Retailers in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands, among others, have put up listings of the smartphones with prices being pretty consistent between them. The Lumia 950 XL will set you back €700, and the Lumia 950 goes for €600. Both single and dual SIM versions of the latter have been listed too. In Austria, the newest Lumias will start shipping on November 27, if retailer information is to be trusted, while German users will need to wait until December 10. One of the best things about the smartphones is the Continuum feature. The ability to turn your phone into a portable PC by plugging in an external monitor and a keyboard should in theory make for lighter packing when traveling or save you the expense of a standalone computer. The box that enables it isn't free though, obviously. The Microsoft Display Dock will cost you $99 in the US, Computerworld reports. Folks in Europe are less fortunate as the number is even higher, and in Euros too - one German retailer lists the HD-500 dock at €109."

"text": "Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950XL Hands-On: Hello Again, Windows Phone Darren Orf10/06/15 3:45pm Filed to: Windows 10 185 2Windows Phone has always been a conundrum. It’s a platform filled with good ideas (I always liked Live Tiles I admit), but something kept it from being my smartphone go-to. With the Lumia 950 and 950XL, I’m experiencing a serious case of déjà vu. Panos Panay and the Microsoft Devices team just launched two new Windows 10 phones. These aren’t meant for international users or emerging markets. These are the heavy hitters—the Lumia 950 and 950XL. Much like the Surface is for Windows tablets, these Lumias are here to showcase the very best that Windows mobile can offer. Right when you pick up these new Lumia phones, you’ll notice they’re lightweight. But it feels lightweight due to material sacrifice. When you hold the Galaxy S6 or an i Phone, the weight gives it some heft, sure, but that’s weirdly important in a device despite our obsession with thinner and lighter."

Today Nokia is announcing its largest devices yet. The new Lumia 1520 (along with its low-end counterpart, the Lumia 1320) features a massive 6-inch display, making it the largest Windows Phone ever released. The 1520 is also the first Windows Phone with a 1080p screen and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor. The 1520 retains Nokia's familiar design language — it's a single piece polycarbonate design that looks like a bigger version of the Lumia 720 — and build quality. But when you have a 6-inch display, there's no getting around having a big phone, and the 1520 is downright massive: it's 3.36 inches wide, 6.4 inches tall, and weighs 7.37 ounces, despite being only 0.34 inches thick. You can hold it with one hand, but for the most part, this is a two-handed device. The new LCD display is bright and vibrant, and as is the case with most Nokias, it has great viewing angles and deep blacks.

The new Lumia 830 and Lumia 735 phones address holes in Microsoft’s product offerings, while two new mobile accessories—a wireless charger and a screencasting dongle for Lumia and Surface devices—will give Windows owners something to brag about. Even the upcoming Lumia “Denim” software update is a welcome surprise, promising to help eliminate the shutter lag that has plagued the otherwise excellent Lumia smartphone cameras. Denim also promises to make the Cortana digital assistant even more responsive with active listening. Microsoft’s Ifi Majid, head of experiences marketing for Microsoft’s Devices Group, capped it all off with a pledge: Microsoft’s products, not partner products, will become the company’s top priorities.

If you've been holding out for a flagship with a 6-inch 1080p display, high-resolution 20-megapixel Pure View camera and a top-of-the-line processor (a quad-core Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of RAM), we'd suspect the answer is probably yes. We are, of course, talking about the Nokia Lumia 1520, the long-rumored, big-screened smartphone, which has finally been announced at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi. That giant screen offers enough space for a third row of live tiles, and new Windows Phone will also come with GDR3 -- the very latest build of Microsoft's OS. It'll also be the first Lumia to arrive with Nokia Camera, a new camera app that fuses the best of the Pro and Smart cameras that came before it. That polycarbonate shell (recycled, no less) will come in yellow, red, white and white black options. The yellow option that Mr. Elop was brandishing over at Nokia World matched the glossy look of the Lumia 920. Launching in Asia and Europe later this quarter, it's been priced, unsubsidized, at $750. This time around, the camera's pegged at 20 megapixels, with a BSI f/2.4 Zeiss lens and optical image stabilization along for the ride. Nokia promises the same oversampling and zooming tech as found in the 41-megapixel Lumia 1020, just, well, less of it."

"text": "How To ›Software Choosing the Correct Edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012Check Out SQL Server's Pricing and Editions Share Pin Email Print Thomas Barwick/Iconica/Getty Imagesby Mike Chapple Updated October 04, 2017See notes on SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2016 at the end of this article. Microsoft’s 2012 release of the SQL Server 2012 enterprise database management platform marked a major evolution in this popular product. This new release included major feature enhancements to SQL Server’s business intelligence, auditing and disaster recovery functionality, among other upgrades. SQL Server 2012 Editions With the release of SQL Server 2012, Microsoft took steps to simplify the platform’s licensing options by retiring the Datacenter Edition, Workgroup Edition and Small Business Edition previously available for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2. SQL Server 2012 Express Edition replaces the Microsoft Data Engine as the free version of SQL Server for application development and lightweight use. It remains free and retains the limitations of MSDE with respect to client connections and performance. It’s a great tool for developing and testing applications and small implementations, but that’s about as far as you can run with it. The workhorse SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition remains the staple of the product line for serious database applications. It can handle up to 16 cores with an unlimited amount of RAM. The major change in licensing from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012 is that a per core option is now available for the Standard Edition."

How about taking those databases that are rarely accessed or even idle and storing them somewhere else? Windows Azure SQL Database can help you with solve those issues and more!What is Windows Azure SQL Database? Windows Azure SQL Database is a feature-rich, fully managed relational database service that offers a highly productive experience, incorporates proven SQL Server technology, and delivers business-class capabilities. SQL Database allows customers to scale business apps for burst and global reach by removing the high costs of building an infrastructure which would accommodate occasional peak loads. Customers can also remove the security risks and hassles associated with hosting public-facing apps & websites from within a datacenter by quickly & cost-effectively building websites and mobile & social apps directly on SQL Database. Finally, customers with strict data policies can get the best of both worlds by keeping sensitive, policy-constrained data on-premises while extending parts of their application to the cloud for added innovation, scale and agility.

It is FREE! It is free to setup a Windows Azure Account that gives you access to a trial account that you can use for testing. This trail account can also give you reports about your server usage if you go ahead and deploy your servers, applications and websites.

"text": "\"Last week I blogged about some of the basic pricing differences between Amazon AWS and Microsoft’s Windows Azure ( http://wblo.gs/da7) and concluded that while there was a price difference, it was important to review the benefits and gaps of each platform to make the right decision. In that comparison, using the assumptions documented on the blog post, Windows Azure was a more affordable option thanks to its Windows Azure SQL Database service offering. 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.

Here I would like to point out some things that we must consider and look at when concatenating values or fields in our queries or stored procedures . Check out this tip to learn more. Solution String concatenation is appending one string to the end of another string. The SQL language allows us to concatenate strings, but the syntax varies according to which database system we are using. Concatenation can be used to join strings from different sources including column values, literal strings, output from user defined functions, scalar sub queries, etc. Let's jump into how to concatenate strings. How Does SQL Server Concatenate Strings? From SQL Server 2008 R2 version and below the \"\"+\"\" (plus sign) is an operator used in a string expression that concatenates two or more character or binary strings, columns, or a combination of strings and column names into one expression or into another column. From SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 versions \"\"+=\"\" (add equals sign) is another string concatenation operator, which can be used to concatenate two strings and sets the string to the result of the operation."

Here we see that while Oracle is at least 10x more powerful than MS-SQL, it only costs 3x more than SQL server:2009 license cost of Oracle 11g Standard Edition - Per Processor = $17,500 - Support (22%) = $3,850 - Total (Per Processor) = $21,350 - Total (4 Processors) = $85,400 2009 license cost of Oracle 11g Standard Edition One - Per Processor = $5,800 - Support (22%) = $1,276 - Total (Per Processor) = $7,076 - Total (2 Processors) = $14,152 2009 license cost of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition - Per Processor = $5,999 - Total (4 Processors) = $23,996 2009 license cost Cost Ratio: - Oracle SE to MSSQL SE = 2.56 - Oracle SEO to MSSQL SE = -0.41But the license costs are just a tiny fraction of the total costs for a database management system."

The release will be available in three main editions: Enterprise, Business Intelligence and Standard. The Enterprise is the all-inclusive database platform, with Microsoft saying it is ideal for mission-critical applications, large data warehouses and highly virtualized environments. The Standard Edition is for “departmental databases” and “limited business intelligence projects,” according to a vendor presentation. And the new Business Intelligence edition strikes a balance between the two."

"text": "Selecting a Processor for SQL Server 2012January 9, 2013 by Glenn Berry in Installation, SQL Performance, System Configuration | 22 Comments Since Microsoft revamped the licensing model for SQL Server 2012, it is especially important to do some thoughtful analysis before you decide exactly which processor to use for a database server that will be running SQL Server 2012. The move to core-based licensing for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition means that a careless decision about precisely what processor you will be running on can cost both a great deal of money and a great deal of performance and scalability. The same issue exists (to a lesser extent) with SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition. The difference in SQL Server 2012 licensing costs between a good processor choice and a bad processor choice can more than pay for your hardware and your storage subsystem in many cases. Given this, how do you go about making an optimal processor choice for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition? Normally, the first step would be to decide whether you wanted to use an Intel Xeon processor or an AMD Opteron processor (SQL Server 2012 does not support the Intel Itanium processor family). Unfortunately, it is very difficult to make a good technical or business case to select an AMD Opteron processor for use with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. Since the introduction of the Intel Nehalem architecture (Intel Xeon 3500, 5500, 6500 and 7500 series) in 2008-2010, AMD has simply not been able to compete with Intel when it comes to single-threaded processor performance. AMD does not have the financial or technical resources to compete with Intel in terms of performance or power efficiency. With each new processor family release from Intel, AMD has been falling further behind."

Even the licensing options available to retail products is adding a level of complexity that the regular home user would seldom need. With that in mind, I wanted to put together a guide to licensing for the Microsoft product family, to give users new to the concepts an overview of what to expect. Recently, I’ve been involved in a Microsoft audit. It’s been an interesting experience, one I had never been privy to until now. The auditor used to work for Microsoft, but moved to the company’s he with now, his sole role to audit Microsoft customers to ensure compliance with the companies licensing agreements. I’ve had great dealings with him and learnt so much in such a short space of time, which I will get into later, but to quote my new friend: Once you start getting into OEMs, SA, VL and license agreements, Microsoft licensing becomes a very dark art.

"text": "Home :: The IAF Today Vayu Sena F-16 vs Mi G-29f-sixteen.com Both the F-16 and the Mi G-29 were designed to correct mistakes and shortcomings of previous aircraft. With the USAF it was the low kill ratios over Vietnam as well as the lack of complete air superiority over the battle field a feat that was achieved with great success both over the battlefield's of Europe and Korea where the US Army was able to operate under little threat of air attack. With the Russians they wanted an aircraft that would perform the same roles as the Mi G-25 and the Su-27 but at a shorter range. As well as an aircraft that for the first time could match Western fighters in ACM, while maintaining the ability to operate as an interceptor. Thus the Mi G-29 became a smaller and shorter range F-15 while the F-16 became a larger and longer range F-5. Both teams designed craft that were cleared to operations of 9g and made use of wing-body blending to increase internal volume , reduce weight and improve maneuverability. They both located the intakes close to structures to reduce the Ao A (angle of attack) sensed at the face of the intake/s thus increasing the Ao A that the aircraft could take in comparison to other aircraft of their day. With the F-16A the Ao A limit is 25deg where as the Mi G-29 has been cleared of an Ao A of up to 45deg. One of the major differences was in the engine arrangement with the General Dynamics team choosing a single P&W F100 this gave commonality with the F-15 and lower fuel consumption. In contrast the Mikoyan team choose a twin arrangement of the RD-33 with no thought give to using the Saturn/Lyulka AL-31F as used in the Su-27."

In January 1955, only a few weeks after the activation of the permanent wing at Otis AFB, a provisional (552nd) AEW&C Wing was established at Mc Clellan AFB. Immediately two maintenance squadrons were activated, 552nd Electronic Maintenance and 552nd Periodic Maintenance (redesignated the 552nd Organizational Maintenance on I October 1960). The 4703rd Field Maintenance was redesignated 552nd Field Maintenance Squadron on I October 1959.

Two tactical squadrons, the 963rd and the 964th AEW&C Squadrons, were immediately assigned to the wing. In August 1955, the 965th AEW&C Squadron was activated, and became the third tactical squadron to join the 552nd Wing.

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Aircraft What is the top speed of a modern day fighter jet? I am making a bet that some fighter jets can hit speeds of 4000 mph Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: i'll take you up on that bet. 4000mph is about mach 5.25 at sea level and 15 degrees C. At higher elevations where the pressure is lower and the air is colder 4000mph is closer to mach 6. To my knowledge there are no traditional aircraft, what i mean by that is i don't know the re-entry speed of the space shuttle, that have the power or can withstand the stress of those kinds of speeds. The shear forces could rip a aircraft apart at those speeds in our atmosphere. The SR-71 by Lockheed is basically the fastest traditional airplane, and it is not a fighter jet. It's max speed is a little over mach 3 and at that height that places it around 2300mph.

I got through the ground forces and the paratroops before getting distracted by other projects. I had always meant to go back and do the air force, but never found the time. Also, I know less about the air force than about the rest of the Russian military, so it was trickier. Thus, I was quite happy to see that someone else has put together such a list. It’s published in the new, and quite excellent report (in Russian) entitled “Russia’s New Army” put out by the CAST center in Moscow. Since I see my one of my primary roles as transmitting analytical information that is published in Russian about the Russian military to a non-Russian speaking audience, in the coming weeks, I’ll be mining this report for information on military building and reform plans.

Caron says TIG welding precise and clean - there is little or no clean up. He does his structural welds with his TIG, but if he has 10 or 15 feet to weld, the TIG is much slower. He probably has to use his angle grinder to smooth the weld, but he gets his work done. Swaim likes the precision, the ability to weld aluminum, stainless steel, etc. with the same machine and the same gas. He says MIG welding steel makes sense, but he finds MIG welding aluminum very difficult. Caron says they do have push-pull guns that have another set of rollers to help pull the wire so you can do about a 15-foot welding run.

"text": "How To Buy A Fighter Jet By Matthew Fitzgerald | 06/20/2010Facebook Twitter Stumble Google+ Save Learning how to buy a fighter jet is a tricky and expensive prospect, particularly if you live in the United States. Countries like Canada do not allow private citizens to own any military aircraft, but the United States does allow its citizens to purchase and operate any military aircraft so long as the fighter jet in question is decommissioned. If you are interested in buying a fighter jet, then prepare to do a lot of paperwork and background checks, as the government pays close attention to those who own hardware that could be potentially dangerous. Any fighter jet that is still in use by the United States military (referred to as “on active inventory”) is off the table, but aircraft such as the F-100, F-104, or an older F-15 are able to be purchased provided you find a seller and that the plane has been properly decommissioned (stripped of its weapons). Foreign fighter jets are easier to obtain because the laws that govern the civilian purchase of foreign military hardware are not as strict as those that apply to local purchases. You will find there are more Soviet Migs in the hands of private civilians than any fighter jet used by the United States because of this. Naturally, the price associated with purchasing a fighter jet will behigh. You can expect to pay upwards of 10 million dollars for an air-ready fighter jet, though most decommissioned foreign jets can be found for below 250 thousand dollars. You can shave a lot of money off the price if you decide to buy just the parts and assemble them yourself, but that is only recommended for serious enthusiasts. There are some private ventures that sell decommissioned fighter jets, such as Starfighters Aerospace and Air USA Inc., and those are your best bet for obtaining the jet of your dreams."

Therefore, a jet fighter would have to be travelling at around 2000 miles per hour to outpace that bullet. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird could travel at speeds of up to 2200 miles per hour, so it could, in theory, outpace a bullet. However, it was not a jet fighter, nor is it flown anymore. The fastest jet fighter ever built was the Mi G 25 Foxbat, which is said to have reached 2,115 miles per hour. Whilst this speed is very near to the speed of a .50 Cal bullet, this speed of flight is not sustainable for an aircraft; it would overheat or break apart. Also, bear in mind that bullets can be fired faster than this, but this is the conventional speed for a .50 Cal bullet. So no, a jet fighter cannot currently outpace a high calibre bullet. This also answers your second question."

"text": "MIG Welding Aluminum and Everything You Need to Know on How to Get Started!MIG welding or Gas Metal Arc Welding of aluminum is easily done and only requires a little extra equipment and skills. Extra equipment will be needed no matter what and if welding out of position it will require a journeyman skill level (that’s an understatement). Aluminum welds very well with MIG and it is best used on thicker materials that are in the flat position. You can weld thinner materials and out of position but those areas are only for the highly skilled and experienced aluminum MIG Welders. In most cases even if you are an experienced welder this is going to be very difficult to learn because of the way the puddle looks and the fast travel speeds used to weld out of position. Pro’s and Con’s of Gas Metal Arc Welding Aluminum Fast Weld Deposits X-Ray Quality Welds Welds in All Positions Needs Special Equipment Has Difficulties Welding Thin Aluminum Requires Highly Skilled Welders for Out of Position Welds The bottom line is, the bottom line, if you need to deposit a lot of filler wire in a production driven environment, then this is the right choice for this non ferrous material. This is all depends on the thickness of material that will be welded. You need the base material to be thick enough to handle the heat and most welds should be in structural shape form. The main trade off is the skill level needed to weld out of position. For most situations this makes MIG the choice of production welding used in shipyards, trailer building, and aluminum tank construction."

It was popularly nicknamed \"\"balalaika\"\", from the aircraft's planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument or ołówek (English: pencil) by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage.

A number of experimental Mach 2 Soviet designs were based on nose intakes with either swept-back wings, such as the Sukhoi Su-7, or tailed deltas, of which the Mi G-21 would be the most successful. Development of what would become the Mi G-21 began in the early 1950s, when Mikoyan OKB finished a preliminary design study for a prototype designated Ye-1 in 1954. This project was very quickly reworked when it was determined that the planned engine was underpowered; the redesign led to the second prototype, the Ye-2. Both these and other early prototypes featured swept wings. The first prototype with delta wings as found on production variants was the Ye-4."

"text": "\"Difference Between MIG and TIG Welding Posted on September 10, 2012 by admin MIG vs TIG Welding MIG and TIG welding are two types of arc welding, using metal electrodes and an inert gas as the shielding from oxidation at high temperatures. Both types of welding are relatively easy to learn, and the welding processes can be performed on all the common materials. What is MIG welding? MIG stands for m etal i nert g as welding and also called metal active gas welding (MAG) or Gas metal arc welding (GAMW). It is an arc welding method using a consumable metal electrode and a shielding gas is used to cover the welding area covered from the atmospheric oxygen and other contaminants. It was originally discovered for welding aluminium, but later developed to weld other metals. Also, MIG welding gives a faster rate of welding than other welding processes. MIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the metal and join the pieces. In MIG welding the electrode acts as the filler which is spent, and deposited on the welding area. The operation can be either automatic or semi automatic."

You could try becoming a cargo or tanker pilot, flown with lots of pilots about your height. Also in a fighter you're by yourself up there and it gets pretty quiet & lonely cant get up to stretch your legs on the 8 hour flight across the ocean. Now on a cargo or tanker you can all that and more. Plus you get to try out your leadership skills as the aircraft commander on a mission. How bad is your eyesight? As long as its correctable to 20/20, they'll let you fly with glasses or contacts. Again this is for transport & tanker pilots."

Except this time, he may be looking at a lot more time behind bars after allegedly taking part in a kidnapping and brutal beating. According to a TMZ report, the boxing king was the mastermind behind a brutal attack that sent two of his former employees to the hospital. Money May supposedly believed that the employees stole his jewelry, so he decided to get revenge ...violently. He told them to meet him at an off-site location where Mayweather met them with a number of men. Money May and his entourage then brutally beat the men with various weapons. According to sources, the attack could have easily killed both of the men. Even though they thankfully survived the attack, the beating they received was pretty bad.

Construction by Stephen Doyle / Photograph by Grant Cornett In 1973, a book claiming that plants were sentient beings that feel emotions, prefer classical music to rock and roll, and can respond to the unspoken thoughts of humans hundreds of miles away landed on the New York Times best-seller list for nonfiction. “ The Secret Life of Plants,” by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, presented a beguiling mashup of legitimate plant science, quack experiments, and mystical nature worship that captured the public imagination at a time when New Age thinking was seeping into the mainstream. The most memorable passages described the experiments of a former C. I. A. polygraph expert named Cleve Backster, who, in 1966, on a whim, hooked up a galvanometer to the leaf of a dracaena, a houseplant that he kept in his office. To his astonishment, Backster found that simply by imagining the dracaena being set on fire he could make it rouse the needle of the polygraph machine, registering a surge of electrical activity suggesting that the plant felt stress. “ Could the plant have been reading his mind?” the authors ask. “ Backster felt like running into the street and shouting to the world, ‘Plants can think!’ ” Backster and his collaborators went on to hook up polygraph machines to dozens of plants, including lettuces, onions, oranges, and bananas."

Some people believe violence in video games and in other media promotes violent behavior among viewers. While there is not sufficient data to validate this claim, there are a number of studies showing that video games can increase aggressive behavior and emotional outbursts, and decrease inhibitions. From a few of these studies, and from my own observations of children playing video games, it is quite obvious that the video games do have at least some effect on the behavior of the player. The extent and long range consequences of these behavior changes after one has turned off the video game are not so easily deduced. One source states that \"\"While research on video games and aggressive behavior must be considered preliminary, it may be reasonably inferred from the more than 1,000 reports and studies on television violence that video game violence may also contribute to aggressive behavior and desensitization to violence\"\" (1) . Another study reports that \"\"Hostility was increased both in subjects playing a highly aggressive video game and those playing a mildly aggressive video game. Subjects who had played the high-aggression game were significantly more anxious than other subjects\"\" (2) . I had a chance to observe the effects of video games first hand on two boys, ages eight and ten, when I babysat them earlier in the semester. They were playing the video game \"\"Mario Cart,\"\" which is really not a very violent game; the object is to win a car race by coming in first while maneuvering through different courses."

Since DARE has become a regular part of today's education scene, knowledge of DARE's operation is of vital importance to Christian parents. What is DARE? Does DARE really work in preventing children from becoming involved in drugs? Should Christian children be involved in DARE?- DARE was conceived in 1983 by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Daryl Gates. He believed that if the system could get to the kids while they were still young and relatively unexposed to drugs, especially by a credible role model such as a police officer, fewer would choose to do drugs when they got older. The DARE program quickly got spread to other school districts throughout the nation through DARE America, a private funding arm put together by the LAPD working with major corporate sponsors. Now most every state has its own DARE training center."

"text": "Deindividuation Deindividuation Definition Deindividuation theory was developed to explain the violence and irrationality of the crowd. How does a group of seemingly normal individuals become an unruly mob? According to deindividuation theory, the anonymity and excitement of the crowd make individuals lose a sense of individual identity. As a result, crowd members cease to evaluate themselves, and they become irrational and irresponsible. All of this makes the crowd fickle, explosive, and prone to anti-normative and disinhibited behavior. But, despite a large amount of research, there is little support for deindividuation theory. Alternative approaches suggest that crowd behavior is not due to a loss of identity but to a transition to a collective (social) identity. The remainder of this entry outlines the theoretical evolution of deindividuation theory, summarizes the research to date, and highlights an alternative perspective. Theoretical Evolution of Deindividuation Deindividuation theory can be traced back to some of the earliest works of social psychology. In his 1895 book La Foule (The Crowd), Gustave Le Bon described how the crowd psychologically transforms the psychology of its members."

Symbolism was displayed on Shirley Jackson’s,” The Lottery” through the black box, the stones, and the characters names. On June 27th everyone in the village participates on the lottery by pulling out a paper from the black wooden box. The black box is brought out by Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves and is placed on a three legged stool. All the village people pull out a paper from the wooden box and once everyone has one they open it."

Misconceptions abound in the mass media, where the term \"\"anarchy\"\" is commonly used as a synonym for \"\"chaos,\"\" and where terrorists, no matter what their political beliefs or affiliations, are often referred to as \"\"anarchists.\"\" As well, when anarchism is mentioned, it's invariably presented as merely a particularly mindless form of youthful rebellion. These misconceptions are, of course, also widespread in the general public, which by and large allows the mass media to do what passes for its thinking. Worse, some who call themselves \"\"anarchists\"\" don't even know the meaning of the term. These people fall, in general, into two classes. The first, as the great Italian anarchist Luigi Fabbri pointed out nearly a century ago in Influencias burguesas sobre el anarquismo, consists of those who are attracted to the lies in the mass media. By and large, these people are simply looking for a glamorous label for selfish, antisocial behavior. The good news is that most of them eventually mature and abandon what they consider \"\"anarchism.\"\" The bad news is that while they're around they tend to give anarchism a very bad name."

He acts as the initial leader figure and organizes the boys into some semblance of society. He wants the good for the tribe, but is often confused, because unlike Jack or Roger, he has a sense of morality from society. He is often considered part of a triad with Piggy and Simon. Ralph is the athletic, charismatic protagonist of Lord of the Flies. Elected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the novel, Ralph is the primary representative of order, civilization, democracy, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys initially are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work, Ralph sets about building huts and thinking of ways to maximize the chances of all the boys. Ralph remains determined not to let this savagery overwhelm him, and only briefly does he consider joining Jack’s tribe in order to save himself. When Ralph hunts a boar for the first time, however, he experiences the exhilaration and thrill of bloodlust and violence. When he attends Jack’s feast, he is swept away by the frenzy, dances on the edge of the group, and participates in the killing of Simon."

Missouri law prevents any city from establishing a minimum wage that is higher than the state’s $7.70 per hour, so paying the higher wage would be a voluntary action by local businesses. Further information is included in the City’s news release. Background: The state minimum wage is $7.70 per hour. The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 per hour since 2009. On Aug. 8, 2017, a majority of voters in Kansas City approved a minimum wage of $10 per hour beginning on Aug. 24, 2017, to be increased annually by $1.25 per hour, reaching $15 per hour in 2022. In March, the City Council approved an ordinance that would increase the minimum wage to $8.50 beginning Sept. 18, 2017. Missouri state law prevents any city from raising its local minimum wage above the state rate, which limits the City’s ability to implement a local minimum living wage ordinance. Many businesses are asking if they must pay the higher minimum wage between Aug. 24 and Aug. 28, due to recent actions at the state and local level. However, Missouri cities (except St. Louis) have been restricted from raising the minimum wage since 2015, so the four-day gap is not relevant."

These minimum wage rates have periodically changed, and the new minimum wage laws usually take effect in either April or October. Exceptions to Canada's Minimum Wage Some circumstances circumvent the general minimum wage, applying different minimums to some workers. In Nova Scotia, for example, employers can pay an \"\"inexperienced minimum wage\"\" to workers for the first three months of employment if they have less than three months prior experience in a field; that wage is 50 cents lower than the general minimum wage. Similarly, in Ontario, the minimum wage for students is 70 cents less than the general minimum wage. Different work situations affect the minimum wage in some provinces, too. In Quebec, the minimum wage for all workers who receive tips is $9.45, which is $1.80 less than the minimum wage of general workers, and the minimum wage for liquor servers in British Columbia is $9.60, more than $1 lower than the general minimum wage. Manitoba has separate minimum wages for security guards ($13.40 per hour in October 2017) and construction workers, whose pay depends on the type of work and experience. Liquor servers in Ontario earn $1.50 less than the minimum wage but home workers earn $1.20 more. Minimum Weekly and Monthly Wages Not all occupations are covered by the general hourly minimum wage."

Citywide minimum wage laws offer local governments a powerful tool for helping low-income workers and families in their communities. Such measures also have significant impact on businesses and how they operate. Shortly after taking office, Mayor Murray formed the Income Inequality Advisory Committee (IIAC) to address a cornerstone priority of an opportunity agenda: a meaningful increase in the compensation for Seattle workers. The committee, which represented broad and diverse perspectives, was charged with delivering an actionable set of recommendations for increasing the minimum wage within the city of Seattle. On May 1, 2014, Mayor Murray announced that the committee — comprised of representatives from labor, business, and non-profits — had reached agreement on those recommendations. LATEST INFORMATIONSeattle’s new Minimum Wage Ordinance will take effect on April 1, 2015. Please visit our Minimum Wage Ordinance page for information on administrative rules and implementation timeline. PASSED LEGISLATIONThe new minimum wage legislation passed by Seattle City Council and signed into law by Mayor Murray provides for an increase in the minimum wage in the City of Seattle to $15 an hour, phased in over time, beginning April 2015: Small employers (businesses with fewer than 500 employees) will reach a $15 an hour minimum wage in seven years. Also established is a temporary guaranteed minimum compensation responsibility of $15 an hour to be met within the first five years, which can be achieved by combining employer-paid health care contributions, consumer-paid tips, and employer-paid wages."

Dwight Bullard, D-Miami, proposing a measure (SB 6) that would raise Florida’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. Bullard filed a somewhat-similar proposal during the 2015 session to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, but the bill was never taken up in committees. The state’s minimum wage, which gradually increases each year, hit $8.05 in January.by The News Service of Florida Comments50 Responses to “$15 Minimum Wage In Florida?”virginia on December 7th, 2016 11:57 pmi make 8 .05 a hour i think the wages should go up to 15 a hour…because my electric bill is more then my pay check…..i only bring home 220 a week and my electric bill was 405 during summer months…..it hard to survive on 8 05 a hour Andrew Seth on September 23rd, 2015 10:35 am If everybody gets a skill and get an education and that is great.. then you would not have people to pick up the garbage… everybody cannot be a doctor everybody cannot be a lawyer but everybody can take home a proper salary… $15 an hour in the state of Florida is still small… that should be ASAPXavier on August 12th, 2015 1:33 pm I hope $15/hr goes through; independent contractors will be able to do the job at a commensurate rate of $12/hr. No one will get hired because companies smart enough to sub out EVERYTHING will not hire employees any more. No income tax preparation. No monthly employment tax. No need to be a corporation at all; everything will become small LLC. This means MORE tax breaks. Lower overhead, lower direct labor = more profit = better product."

"text": "Provincial and Territorial Ranking Income Per Capita+ Version française Print Key Messages Alberta earns an A grade with income per capita almost identical to the top peer country, Ireland. Four provinces get D– grades for incomes per capita lower than the worst-performing peer country, France. Overall, Canada ranks 11th among the 16 peer countries and gets a D on income per capita. What is income per capita? Income per capita, calculated as gross domestic product per capita, is the most frequently used statistic for comparing economic well-being across countries. GDP is the total value of the goods and services produced in a country or region in a given time period. This report card indicator is measured per capita, because a country’s total income may rise as its population increases even though there may have been no improvement in the income level of the average citizen. To compare per capita income over time in real terms, the indicator is also adjusted to remove the effects of price changes. How do the provinces fare relative to Canada’s international peers? Alberta is once again the top-ranking province, earning an A grade for its GDP per capita of US$59,249 in 2016 (all numbers are in 2010 US$ at constant purchasing power parity) and placing third overall, behind Ireland (US$60,610) and Norway (US$59,366)."

There’s lots of reasons for that. For starters, Canada is a huge country spread across many different regions. So the estimates above lump together the salaries of some different groups. It doesn’t make much sense to compare the salary of a hospital pharmacist in Vancouver with the salary of a retail pharmacist in Toronto. That’s why we looked at the numbers a little closer. We found a bunch of factors that influence a pharmacist’s salary. We then grouped the salary numbers in a way that provides some better context.

"text": "Raising the Minimum Wage to $12 by 2020 Would Lift Wages for 35 Million American Workers Report • By David Cooper • July 14, 2015Briefing Paper #405Download PDFPress release Introduction and key findings T he minimum wage was established in 1938 as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In addition to prohibiting child labor and mandating the 40-hour workweek, the FLSA established the federal minimum wage to help ensure that all work would be fairly rewarded and that regular employment would provide a decent quality of life. Moreover, regular increases in the minimum wage were meant to ensure that even the lowest-paid workers benefited from broader improvements in wages and living standards. Yet today, because of decades of infrequent and inadequate adjustment, the federal minimum wage no longer serves as an adequate wage floor. Every year that the minimum wage is left unchanged, rising prices slowly erode its buying power. In 2014, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 was worth nearly 10 percent less than when it was last raised in 2009, after adjusting for inflation. In fact, the real (inflation-adjusted) value of the federal minimum wage in 2014 was 24 percent below its peak value in 1968. SUPPLEMENTARY DATA: State-by-state characteristics of workers who would be affected by increasing the federal minimum wage to $12 by 2020 [PDF]This decline in purchasing power means low-wage workers have to work longer hours just to achieve the standard of living that was considered the bare minimum almost half a century ago. Over that time, the United States has achieved tremendous improvements in labor productivity that could have allowed workers at all pay levels to enjoy a significantly improved quality of life. Instead, because of policymakers’ failure to preserve this basic labor standard, a parent earning the minimum wage today does not earn enough through full-time work to be above the federal poverty line."

[ 1]Under the Canadian Constitution, the responsibility for enacting and enforcing labour laws, including the minimum wage, rests with the ten provinces as well as the three territories which have been granted this power by federal legislation. Some provinces allow lower wages to be paid to liquor servers and other gratuity earners or to inexperienced employees. The federal government in past years set its own minimum wage rates for workers in federal jurisdiction industries (railways for example). In 1996, however, the federal minimum wage was re-defined to be the general adult minimum wage rate of the province or territory where the work is performed. This means, for example, that a railway company could not legally pay a worker in British Columbia less than C$11.35 per hour regardless of the worker's experience.

"text": "\"Faculty salaries in Manitoba fall below average By Talia Joundion March 15, 2011In comparison to other Canadian universities, professors at the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg have salaries that are below average, making them among the poorest paid professors in Western Canada. Statistics Canada figures show that professors salaries are, on average, significantly higher at the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the University of British Columbia and Mc Master University, to name a few. According to 2009-10 figures taken from Statistics Canada, the average salary of the full professors, associate professors and assistant professors at the University of Manitoba is $113,443 per annum. Cameron Morrill, University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) president, said he believes that academic salaries at the U of M need to see increases “both out of fairness, since our academics do the same work as do academics at these other universities, and to make the U of M an attractive place for academics to come to and stay. ”While the average full-time professor at the U of M earns $138,381 per year, a full-time professor at the University of Calgary will earn $163,928 on average each year. In their last round of negotiations to ratify a new collective agreement with the university, UMFA accepted a 4.4 per cent wage increase over the three-year contract. “Certainly, the salary settlement is low, and as a result, professors’ salaries here will be even further behind those of institutions like the University of Saskatchewan,” he said. Nevertheless, Morrill recognizes that the recent settlements at the University of Winnipeg and other Manitoba unions have included salary increases in the same range. “ Taken together, it was the best agreement that we thought we could get at the time,” said Morrill. Director of Public Affairs at the U of M, John Danakas, said that competitiveness of salaries is an important issue that informs much of the discussion during any collective bargaining process between the university and the faculty association. “"

B. 4283. The new law also increases from 20 percent to 70 percent the proportion of the minimum wage that can be satisfied by tips. Currently, an employer may claim only $1.45 (20 percent of the $7.25 minimum wage) in employees' tips as a credit against the minimum wage, meaning tipped employees must be paid a cash wage of at least $5.80 per hour. The tip credit will increase to $5.08 when the new law takes effect on June 6, 2014, to $5.60 on January 1, 2015, and to $6.13 on January 1, 2016; meanwhile the minimum cash wage for tipped employees will increase to $2.18 on June 6, 2014, to $2.40 on January 1, 2015, and to $2.63 on January 1, 2016.

Equivalently, it is the price floor below which workers may not sell their labor. Although minimum wage laws are in effect in many jurisdictions, differences of opinion exist about the benefits and drawbacks of a minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say it increases the standard of living of workers, reduces poverty, reduces inequality, and boosts morale. [ 1] In contrast, opponents of the minimum wage say it increases poverty, increases unemployment (particularly among unskilled or inexperienced workers) and is damaging to businesses, because excessively high minimum wages require businesses to raise the prices of their product or service to accommodate the extra expense of paying a higher wage. [ 2] [3] [4]Simple supply demand models point to welfare and employment losses from minimum wages. However, if the labor market is not perfectly competitive, minimum wages can increase the efficiency of the market. For example, in a monopsony labor market, a minimum wage set modestly above equilibrium wages can increase wages, employment, and economic efficiency. Considerable debate stills exists among economists about the real-world effect of minimum wages. Modern national laws enforcing compulsory union membership which proscribed minimum wages for their members were first passed in New Zealand and Australia in the 1890s."

For some immigrants, the decision is made easier by relatives who already reside in the country. “My sister lives in Toronto so when I moved it was natural for me to want to be close to her,” says Lorriannys Ramirez, originally from Venezuela. “ It would have been hard to live all the way on the other side of the country, knowing no one; here it felt a little bit more like home. ”Other newcomers base their choice on climate. Jayson Singh’s quest for a city he could call home ended after he performed an online search for Canada’s hottest spots. “Coming from Trinidad, I’m used to sun and warm weather all the time,” laughs Singh, who lives in Vancouver. “ I heard that in some Canadian cities, like Calgary and Edmonton, it gets cold, below freezing. I figured I should move to the mildest climate possible so it wouldn’t be such a shock."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For Yiddish words used in English, particularly in the U. S., see Yiddish words used in English. This is a list of words that have entered the English language from the Yiddish language, many of them by way of American English. There are differing approaches to the romanisation of Yiddish orthography (which uses the Hebrew alphabet) and the spelling of some of these words may therefore be variable (for example, schlep is also seen as shlep, schnoz as shnozz ). Many of these words are more common in the US entertainment industry, via vaudeville, the Catskills / Borscht Belt, and Hollywood. Others are more regionally oriented, e.g., in the New York City metropolitan area. A number of Yiddish words also entered English via large Jewish communities in Britain, particularly London, where Yiddish has influenced the Cockney dialect. Most of Yiddish words are related to Hebrew, Germanic or Slavic forms, and some words of those origins have entered English via Yiddish. Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 List of words3 See also4 Notes5 External links Background [ edit]Yiddish is a Germanic language, originally spoken by the Jews of Central and later Eastern Europe, written in the Hebrew alphabet, and containing a substantial substratum of words from Hebrew as well as numerous loans from Slavic languages. [ 1] For that reason, some of the words listed below are in fact of Hebrew or Slavic origin, but have entered English via their Yiddish forms. Since Yiddish is very closely related to modern German, many native Yiddish words have close German cognates; in a few cases it is difficult to tell whether English borrowed a particular word from Yiddish or from German."

The Chinese, for example, had hereditary family names dating back to 4th century, before the Common Era. Scandinavian countries developed mandatory family names as recently as mid-1800s ( Kagnaoff, 1977 ). Jewish family names became more common in the 10th and 11th century as more Jews moved to the cities ( Kagnaoff, 1977 ). The Jews of Spain, Portugal, and Italy had hereditary family names starting in the 14th century. In 1781 Emperor Joseph II of Austria promulgated the Edict Of Toleration for the Jews, which established the requirement for mandatory hereditary surnames. The Jews of Galicia did not adopt family names until 1785. Family names were then required throughout the Austrian Empire by the year 1787, with the exception of Hungary ( Kaganoff, 1977 & Rottenberg, 1977 ). The great bulk of the Jews in Germany and Eastern Europe continued to follow the tradition of using the personal name plus the father’s name (patronymic system). For example, Yisrul ben Zalman, Avraham ben Zevi ( Rottenberg, 1977 )."

The film is set for release on June 22, 2018, and director Juan Antonio Bayona of The Orphanage and The Impossible is gearing up for production in Hawaii, which Jurassic Outpost recently received an exact start date for and shared. Image via Universal Pictures According to the website, the sequel to Colin Trevorrow ‘s blockbuster will begin shooting in Hawaii on February 27th, 2017, under the production name of Ancient Futures. Hawaii, of course, won’t be the only stop on the production schedule, with the rest of the movie rumored to be shooting at that holiest of all studios, London’s Pinewood Studios. For now, however, it’s unclear exactly how all of this is going down – whether this is the start of production or continuation, etc. – under Bayona, who is working from a script by Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. During a recent conversation with our very own Steve Weintraub, producer par excellence Frank Marshall commented on the production, as well as where he thinks the story is heading and the idea of attempting to top Jurassic World with the sequel. Here’s what he had to say:“We’re in pre-production. In fact I just got back from London meeting with Juan Antonio and the production designer, we’re designing, he’s doing storyboards. We’re in full-boar pre-production to start shooting sometime early next Spring."

A hybrid of Hebrew and medieval German, Yiddish takes about three-quarters of its vocabulary from German, but borrows words liberally from Hebrew and many other languages from the many lands where Ashkenazic Jews have lived. It has a grammatical structure all its own, and is written in an alphabet based on Hebrew characters. Scholars and universities classify Yiddish as a Germanic language, though some have questioned that classification. Yiddish was never a part of Sephardic Jewish culture (the culture of the Jews of Spain, Portugal, the Balkans, North Africa and the Middle East). They had their own international language known as Ladino or Judesmo, which is a hybrid of medieval Spanish and Hebrew in much the same way that Yiddish combines German and Hebrew. At its height less than a century ago, Yiddish was understood by an estimated 11 million of the world's 18 million Jews, and many of them spoke Yiddish as their primary language. Yiddish has fallen on hard times, a victim of both assimilation and murder."

"text": "I think it is best to begin the history of our family with the Ashkenazi name “Grossman”, an interesting topic in itself. Isaac Goldberg, a scholar of Jewish lore, provides some interesting background on Ashkenazic names in a speech he wrote in September, 1996 for a Jewish Sisterhood meeting. It is entitled “Ashkenazi Family Names: Origin & Development”. Here I cite a large excerpt from his text, now accessible on the Internet: It is safe to say that throughout Jewish history, until the French Revolution and the ensuing breakdown of the ghetto walls, most Jews had no family name as we know the concept. The Mishnah and Talmud sages were known by their “first name ben father’s name”. So in the Middle Ages, [for example, there lived a] Judah ben Samuel, ha-asid; Baruch ben Samuel, of Mainz, et cetera. Ashkenaz is the name applied to the Jewish communities of Germany, France and Bohemia. Ashkenazi Jewry also included the Jews of Poland and Russia, most of whom immigrated from Germany. The most outstanding mark of Ashkenazi Jewry was what is known today as Yiddish, a language deriving mostly from Middle High German, and still spoken by some Ashkenazi Jews. In German Ashkenazi documents, few family names occur... [In fact], family names in North European documents are sporadic before the second half of the eighteenth century."

Judaeo-German) [3] is the historical language of the Ashkenazi Jews. It originated during the 9th century [4] in Central Europe, providing the nascent Ashkenazi community with a High German -based vernacular fused with elements taken from Hebrew and Aramaic as well as from Slavic languages and traces of Romance languages. [ 5] [6] Yiddish is written with a fully vocalized version of the Hebrew alphabet. The earliest surviving references date from the 12th century and call the language לשון־אַשכּנז ( loshn-ashknaz, \"\"language of Ashkenaz\"\") or טײַטש ( taytsh ), a variant of tiutsch, the contemporary name for Middle High German. Colloquially, the language is sometimes called מאַמע־לשון ( mame-loshn, lit. \"\" mother tongue\"\"), distinguishing it from לשון־קדש ( loshn koydesh, \"\"holy tongue\"\"), meaning Hebrew and Aramaic. The term \"\"Yiddish\"\", short for Yidish Taitsh \"\"Jewish German\"\", did not become the most frequently used designation in the literature until the 18th century. In the late 19th and into the 20th century the language was more commonly called \"\"Jewish\"\", especially in non-Jewish contexts, but \"\"Yiddish\"\" is again the more common designation."

"text": "\"Missouri Government Missouri has often been described as a microcosm of the United States. This is because, in many key respects, Missouri's social, economic and political characteristics are very close to the United States as a whole. In terms of income, education, age, racial, and religious characteristics, there is a noticeable symmetry. Since 1904, Missouri has one of the best records of any state of voting for the winner in presidential elections (but we got it wrong in some recent elections!). This has led some analysts to describe Missouri as \"\"the bellwether state. \"\"I. THE MISSOURI CONSTITUTIONMissouri was formed out of the vast Louisiana Territory that was purchased from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803. Since Thomas Jefferson played a key role in gaining what is now Missouri for the United States, the capitol of the state was named Jefferson City after statehood in 1821. Jefferson City is the location of the State Legislature, the Governor's Mansion, the Supreme Court Building, and various other state offices. The first constitution of Missouri was drawn up by the territorial legislature and submitted to the U. S. Congress for its approval. Because admission of Missouri as a state in 1820 would have resulted in a majority of slave states in the U. S., there was an intense debate in Congress."

Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953). The final running mate of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, Truman succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when Roosevelt died after months of declining health. Under Truman, the U. S. successfully concluded World War II; in the aftermath of the conflict, tensions with the Soviet Union increased, marking the start of the Cold War . Truman was born in Missouri, and spent most of his youth on his family's farm. During World War I, Truman served in combat in France as an artillery officer in his National Guard unit. After the war, he briefly owned a haberdashery and joined the Democratic Party political machine of Tom Pendergast in Kansas City, Missouri. He was first elected to public office as a county official, and in 1935 became U. S. senator. He gained national prominence as head of the wartime Truman Committee, which exposed waste, fraud, and corruption in wartime contracts. While Germany surrendered a few weeks after Truman assumed the Presidency, the war with Japan was expected to last another year or more. Truman ordered the use of atomic weapons against Japan, intending to force Japan's surrender and spare American lives in an invasion; the decision remains controversial."

Renka PS103 - April 5, 2010º Incumbent Success Rates º District Design and Partisan Polarization º Starvation º Works Cited Incumbents are sitting Members of Congress. The great majority of these are careerist politicians who routinely seek reelection to another term of office, and occasionally try to vault from a lower Representative's position to the more exalted title of Senator by running statewide. There are no formal term limitations imposed upon national legislative offices. These men and women have proven remarkably difficult to defeat for election. Here I show this, and suggest why. Incumbent Success Rates Top ; Next Down Success of congressional incumbents has become something of a half-funny joke recently. These are the figures for those Representatives who sought reelection in the 13 biennial national elections for 435 U. S. House seats from 1982 through 2006: 95.17% of incumbents who sought reelection were successful. What's more, an average of 396 of the 435 incumbent seat holders sought another term, leaving only 39 \"\"open seats\"\" each biennium for new Members of Congress (Jacobson 2008, 28-29). You can see these effects graphically via thirty-thousand.org - Reelection Rates of Incumbents in the U. S. House, and Duration of Representatives’ Incumbency in the U. S. House . Rounding the 4.83% of winning challengers to 19 freshmen, another 39 get there the easy way by filling a seat vacated by a departing incumbent."

Truman [b] (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was an American statesman who served as the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953), taking the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. A World War I veteran, he assumed the presidency during the waning months of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. He is known for implementing the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, for the establishment of the Truman Doctrine and NATO against Soviet and Chinese Communism, and for intervening in the Korean War. In domestic affairs, he was a moderate Democrat whose liberal proposals were a continuation of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, but the conservative-dominated Congress blocked most of them. He used the veto power 180 times, more than any president since and saw 12 overridden by Congress; only Grover Cleveland and Franklin D. Roosevelt used the veto so often and only Gerald Ford and Andrew Johnson saw so many veto overrides. [ 2] He is the only world leader to have used nuclear weapons in war. He desegregated the U. S. Armed Forces, supported a newly independent Israel and was a founder of the United Nations. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri and spent most of his youth on his family's 600-acre farm near Independence. In the last months of World War I, he served in combat in France as an artillery officer with his National Guard unit."

Prior to the purchase both France and Spain administered the territory in a similar manner. France initially had a commandant in charge of Upper Louisiana. Spain around 1770 began having a lieutenant governor in St. Louis and governor in New Orleans, Louisiana ruling the whole territory.

"text": "\"Kansas-Nebraska Act An Act to Organize the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was the third and last of the series of compromises enacted before the u.s. civil war in an attempt to resolve the question of whether slavery should be permitted in the western territories. Senator stephen a. douglas of Illinois, drafted the legislation that revoked the missouri compromise of 1820, which had banned slavery north of 36°30' latitude. Douglas applied the doctrine of popular sovereignty to the Kansas and Nebraska Territories, as he had successfully urged Congress to do in the compromise of 1850. The 1850 law left to New Mexico and Utah the decision of whether to enter the Union as free or slave states. The Kansas-Nebraska Act failed to end the national conflict over slavery. Antislavery forces viewed the statute as a capitulation to the South, and many abandoned the Whig and Democratic parties to form the republican party. Kansas soon became a battleground over slavery. On May 25, 1856, the militant abolitionist john brown led a raid against proslavery supporters at Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas, killing five persons. The violence between the abolitionists and those who were proslavery soon gave the territory the name \"\"Bleeding Kansas. \"\""

"text": "UPDATE: Barve, Floreen Join Crowd of Potential Candidates Looking at Van Hollen’s Seat At least 10 members of County Council, state legislative delegation now eyeing Dist. 8By Louis Peck Published: 2015.03.06 11:00A map of the 8th District State of Maryland Update - March 6, 11:30 a.m. - Add two veteran local officeholders to the crowd of potential candidates eyeing a run for the District 8 congressional seat being vacated by U. S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen’s bid for the Democratic nomination for U. S. Senate next year. Del. Kumar Barve, D-Gaithersburg, a former majority leader of the Maryland House of Delegates and now chair of its Environment and Transportation Committee, said he is considering a run in District 8, which is based in Montgomery County but also includes portions of Frederick and Carroll counties. “ A lot of people have asked me to me to look at this seriously and I am. I am going to make a decision shortly,” Barve said Friday morning. Meanwhile, at-large County Councilmember Nancy Floreen joined at least two other County Council members in considering a run for the 8 th District congressional slot. “ I haven’t ruled it out at this point -- it’s certainly worth consideration,” said Floreen, adding, “These opportunities occur very rarely. ”There was last a vacancy in the 8 th District nearly 30 years ago -- in 1986 -- when then-Democratic U. S. Rep. Michael Barnes vacated the seat to make an unsuccessful bid for U. S. Senate. The congressional seat was captured that year by Republican Connie Morella, who served for 16 years until being ousted by Van Hollen, D-Kensington, in 2002. Barve had previously been mentioned as a potential candidate in the neighboring 6 th Congressional District -- which stretches from Montgomery County into western Maryland -- if U. S. Rep. John Delaney, D-Potomac, opts to join Van Hollen in the race for the seat of retiring Democratic U. S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski."

"text": "Missouri has not expanded Medicaid (MO Health Net) under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Non-disabled adults without children are not eligible for Medicaid regardless of how low their income is, and parents with dependent children are only eligible with incomes that don’t exceed 18 percent of the poverty level. Only Texas has a lower Medicaid eligibility cap, at 15 percent.96,000 in coverage gap If Missouri had expanded Medicaid, Families USA estimates that 293,000 people would be newly eligible for coverage. As the ACA was written, it called for Medicaid expansion in every state for residents with incomes up to 133 percent of poverty (138 percent with the built-in 5 percent income disregard). But in 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not be penalized for opting out of expansion, and Missouri is one of 19 states that has not yet taken steps to expand coverage. Because subsidies are only available in the exchange for people whose household incomes are at least 100 percent of poverty (since Medicaid was supposed to be available for those below that level), there are 96,000 people in Missouri who are in the coverage gap and have no realistic access to health insurance. They aren’t eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies to offset the cost of private insurance. The 2017 legislative session: dueling bills seek to expand Medicaid or convert it to a block grant The 2017 legislative session in Missouri started on January 4. Two bills were introduced that day, with very different agendas: S. B.70, introduced by Senator Jill Schupp (D, 24th District), calls for the expansion of Medicaid as called for in the ACA, effective January 2018. It’s highly unlikely that Schupp’s bill will advance, given that Republican control the Missouri legislature, and that Donald Trump’s win has emboldened their rejection of the ACA — including Medicaid expansion."

In the U. S., the main duty of the lieutenant governor is to act as governor should the governor be temporarily absent from the office. In addition, the lieutenant governor generally succeeds a governor who dies, resigns or is removed in trial by the legislative branch. In most states, the lieutenant governor then becomes governor, with the title and its associated salary, office, and privileges. In a few states, like Massachusetts, the lieutenant governor instead becomes \"\"acting governor\"\" until the next election. Other than this primary constitutional duty, most state constitutions do not prescribe the duties of the lieutenant governor in detail. In Hawaii and New Jersey, the lieutenant governor serves concurrently as the secretary of state. In Tennessee and West Virginia, the President of the Senate also serves as lieutenant governor and is elected from within the legislature. Five states do not have a lieutenant governor position."

"text": "Democrats can take back the Senate in 2016 after a stinging, nine-seat defeat last year — but their path is narrow, and any gains could be fleeting. The party needs to capture four or five seats — depending on the results of the presidential election — next November. While the 2016 map is favorable, flipping control of the Senate would require winning most of the toss-up races and defeating several well-funded GOP incumbents in pricey swing states that will also be crucial in the race for the White House. Both parties — by virtue of the Senate seats that are in cycle next year — have distinct goals in the early stages of the race to control the chamber. Democrats are trying to identify and recruit candidates to take on the myriad GOP senators who are up for reelection in 2016. Republicans, on the other hand, have few pick-up opportunities and are looking to shore up their incumbents. Since we set our initial Campaign Pro Senate-race rankings three months ago, Democrats have recorded some notable recruiting successes: Illinois Rep. Tammy Duckworth entered the race against GOP Sen. Mark Kirk; former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold challenged the man who beat him in 2010, Sen. Ron Johnson, to a rematch; and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s preferred successor in Nevada, former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, jumped in the contest to replace him. There have been some misses: Democrats couldn’t persuade former Sen. Kay Hagan to challenge GOP incumbent Richard Burr in North Carolina. And the party seems unlikely to avoid a potentially costly primary in Florida, where controversial Rep. Alan Grayson is crowing about taking on the establishment pick, Rep. Patrick Murphy.

"text": "Ob-Gyn Coding for Laparoscopic Hysterectomy November 1, 2012 by Trent Do you sometimes get confused on what CPT code to use when a laparoscopic hysterectomy has been performed? Here is some information that helps provide structure to the codes available. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy can be divided into three major code sets. Aside from CPT code 58548, the CPT codes in each code set are differentiated by the size of the uterus (less than or greater than 250 grams) and whether or not the tubes and ovaries are removed. The first code set is categorized as Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH), indicated by CPT codes 58541 to 58544. LSH includes laparoscopically detaching the body of the uterus down to the uterine arteries. The uterine body is then separated from the cervix, hemostasis of the cervical stump is achieved, and the endocervical canal is coagulated. The uterine body is then abdominally removed by bivalving, coring, or morcellating, as required. The second code set is for Laparoscopy with Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH), indicated by CPT codes 58550 to 58554. LAVH includes laparoscopically detaching the uterine body from the surrounding upper supporting structures."

The codes range from 10021 to 69990 ... Surgery is divided into subsections ... Most Surgery subsections are defined according to medical specialty or body system (e ..., integumentary or respiratory) ... Take a moment to review the Surgery subsections of the CPT manual so you have an understanding of the content of this important section ... Within the Surgery section, some of the more complex subsections are the Integumentary, Musculoskeletal, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Digestive, and Female Genital subsections ... Before we get into the details of the subsections, let's look at the general information that is pertinent to the entire Surgery section ... NOTES AND GUIDELINES Guidelines are found at the beginning of each of the CPT sections ... The section Guidelines define terms that are necessary to know for appropriately interpreting and reporting the procedures and services contained in the section ... The following is an example of the type of information located in the Surgery Guidelines: n Services: A reference explaining how to assign E/M codes n CPT Surgical Package Definition: Defines what is included in the surgical procedure n Follow-up Care for Diagnostic Procedures: Defines follow-up care for diagnostic services n Follow-up Care for Therapeutic Surgical Procedures: Defines follow-up care for therapeutic surgical services n Supplied Materials: Describes how and when to report supplies n Reporting More Than One Procedure/Service: Identifies situations in which it may be appropriate to use modifiers for multiple services provided on the same day n Separate Procedure: How to assign codes with this designation n Unlisted Service or Procedure: Unlisted service codes from the Surgery section n Special Report: What to include in and when to submit a special report n Surgical Destruction: Clarifies that destruction can be accomplished by any method, and that there are limited exceptions when the method is coded separately An index at the beginning of each subsection within the Surgery section, lists subheadings, categories, and subcategories with instructional notes The Guidelines contain information that you will need to know in order to correctly code in the section, and most of the information is not repeated elsewhere in the section ... So always review the Guidelines before coding in the section ... Remember that with each new edition of the CPT manual, you will need to review the Guidelines for any changes ... The changes are indicated by the \"\"New or Revised Text\"\" symbols used throughout the CPT manual (Fig ...17-1) ... Reporting More Than One Procedure/Service When a physician performs more than one procedure/service on the same date, during the same session, or during a postoperative period (subject to the \"\"surgical package\"\" concept), several CPT modifiers may apply ... (See Appendix A for definition ...) Common throughout the CPT manual are notes ... Notes may appear before subsections (Fig ...17-2), subheadings (Fig ...17-3), categories (Fig ...17-4), and subcategories (Fig ... The information in the notes indicates the special instructions unique to particular codes or groups of codes ... The notes are extremely important because the information contained in them is not usually available in the section Guidelines ... Always make it a practice to read any notes available before coding ... If notes are present, they must be followed if the coding is to be accurate ... Make it a practice to write in your coding manuals ... Highlight important points, make notes in the margins, and personalize your coding manual ... You will find these personal annotations are very helpful as you code ... Additional information is enclosed in parentheses, called parenthetical phrases or expressions ... They sometimes follow the code or group of codes and provide further information about codes that may be applicable ... For example, 42120, Resection of the palate or extensive resection of a lesion, is followed by information about codes you would assign if reconstruction of the palate followed the resection (Fig ... Deleted codes are also indicated in the CPT manual, enclosed in parentheses ... Often the code that is to be used in place of the deleted code will be listed (Fig ... Appendix B of the CPT manual has a summary of code additions, deletions, and revisions for the current year ... Also note in Fig ...17-7 that the arrows at the beginning and end of the information indicate that the information is new or has been revised for the current edition ... UNLISTED PROCEDURES The Surgery Guidelines contain many unlisted procedure codes, presented by anatomic site ... These unlisted codes are presented in numeric order by their location in the Surgery section Guidelines and in the subsections by body system ... For example, the unlisted procedure code for procedures of the forearm or wrist, 25999, is located in the Surgery Guidelines and also at the end of the subheading Forearm and Wrist ... The unlisted codes identify procedures or services throughout the Surgery section for which there is no CPT code ... If a Category III code is available for the unlisted service you are reporting, you must use the Category III code, not the unlisted Category I code ... Reimbursement for Category III codes will vary by payer ... SPECIAL REPORTS When using an unlisted procedure code to report a surgical service, a special report describing the procedure must accompany the claim According to the CPT manual, \"\"Pertinent information [in the special report] should include an adequate definition or description of the nature, extent, and need for the procedure, and the time, effort, and equipment necessary to provide the service ...\"\" Medical supplier representatives may be of assistance to you in obtaining the information necessary to support the use of the new technique used during the procedure ... CAUTION Unlisted codes are assigned only after thorough research fails to reveal a more specific code Example When the first total disc arthroplasty (artificial disc) was performed there was no code to report the service, so a special report would have been submitted ... The report contained a detailed description of the procedure, why it was being performed, the extent of the procedure, the length of time the procedure required, and the equipment necessary ... Later, there was a Category III code to describe this procedure (0090T) ... When the procedure gained approval, 0090T was deleted and a Category I code was created (22856) ... SEPARATE PROCEDURE Some procedure codes will have the words \"\"separate procedure\"\" after the descriptor The term \"\"separate procedure\"\" does not mean that the procedure was the only procedure that was performed ...rather, it is an indication of how the code can be assigned ... Locate code 19100 in the CPT manual ... The breast biopsy code 19100 has the words \"\" (separate procedure)\"\" after the description ... Procedures followed by the words \"\"separate procedure\"\" (in parentheses) are considered minor procedures that are reported only when they are the only services performed or when they are performed with another major procedure but at a different site or unrelated to the major procedure ... When the minor procedure is performed in conjunction with a related major procedure, the minor procedure is considered incidental and is bundled into the code for the major procedure ... Example Separate procedure bundled into the major procedure: Breast biopsy (19100) has \"\"separate procedure\"\" after it ... If a breast biopsy was performed in conjunction with a modified radical mastectomy (19307), only the mastectomy would be reported ... Because the breast biopsy and the mastectomy were conducted on the same body area during the same surgery, the breast biopsy would be considered a minor procedure that was incidental and would be bundled into the major procedure of the mastectomy ... Exception: A scenario when the \"\"separate procedure\"\" would not be bundled can be illustrated in the following example ... A patient has a percutaneous breast biopsy (19100) performed and then is brought back to the operating room for extensive tissue removal by subcutaneous mastectomy (19304) on the same day ... The second procedure would have modifier -58 (Staged or related procedure or service by the same individual during the postoperative period) appended to the code (19304-58) ... Example Two separate procedures: If a breast biopsy (19100 a separate procedure) was performed in conjunction with an esophagoscopy (43200), both the breast biopsy and the esophagoscopy would be reported ... The breast biopsy and the esophagoscopy were performed on different body areas and, as such, the breast biopsy would not be bundled into the esophagoscopy procedure ... Example Separate procedure bundled into the major procedure ... Salpingo-oophorectomy (58720—removal of tubes and ovaries) has \"\"separate procedure\"\" after it ...

As a result, we are re-posting our previous article on this topic. In CPT 2008, the American Medical Association (AMA) published the total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) set of codes (58570-58573). This, in addition to the laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy code (58548), is the third set of CPT codes addressing the laparoscopic approach to hysterectomy. The other CPT code sets are the laparoscopy with vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) (58550-58554) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) (58541–58544) code sets. Each of the code sets are subdivided into uteri less than or greater than 250 grams and with or without removal of tube (s) and/or ovary (s). TLH includes laparoscopically detaching the entire uterine cervix and body from the surrounding supporting structures and suturing the vaginal cuff. It includes bivalving, coring, or morcellating the excised tissues, as required. The uterus is then removed through the vagina or abdomen.

The general concept is the expedient control of life-threatening bleeding and contamination, usually terminated as soon as possible in order for the patient to undergo correction of physiologic abnormalities due to hemorrhagic shock or sepsis. Subsequent stages of surgery address definitive management when the patient is stable and able to undergo more prolonged procedures. Initially developed by the military and major trauma centers, the concept of damage-control surgery is now widely accepted and may be applied to the chest, abdomen, or extremities. In the initial stage of damage control, hemorrhage is stopped, contamination is controlled, and temporary wound closure methods may be employed. Vascular control may include ligating bleeding vessels, oversewing mesentery or organ injury, packing of the abdomen or chest, and even placing vascular shunts without definitive repair of blood vessels. For gastrointestinal contamination, the bowel is resected or lacerations oversewn. Restoration of bowel continuity (anastomosis) or maturation of an ostomy is performed at a later stage. The resuscitation phase is characterized by correction of physiologic abnormalities (metabolic acidosis, anemia, coagulopathy) and volume replacement, as well as provision of ventilation and vasopressor support."

"text": "Significant changes in Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)* coding are being implemented in 2015, although not all of these changes were accepted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This article provides reporting and payment information about the codes that are relevant to general surgery and its closely related specialties. Lower GI endoscopy Coding tip Use modifier 52 (reduced services) for an incomplete exam for a therapeutic procedure when the cecum is not reached. For a diagnostic or screening exam when it is not possible to reach the cecum, use modifier 53 (discontinued procedure), which allows the procedure to be repeated and reimbursed on another date. A number of revisions were made to the lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy codes in the Colon and Rectum subsection of CPT. Definitions were revised or added at the beginning of the subsection and new guidelines were created to further clarify reporting of these procedures: Colonoscopy is the examination of the entire colon, from the rectum to the cecum, and may include examination of the terminal ileum or small intestine proximal to an anastomosis. Colonoscopy through stoma is the examination of the colon, from the colostomy stoma to the cecum, and may include examination of the terminal ileum or small intestine proximal to an anastomosis. When performing a diagnostic or screening endoscopic procedure on a patient who is scheduled and prepared for a total colonoscopy, if the physician is unable to advance the colonoscope to the cecum or colon-small intestine anastomosis due to unforeseen circumstances, report 45378 (colonoscopy) or 44388 (colonoscopy through stoma) with modifier 53 (discontinued procedure) and provide appropriate documentation. If a therapeutic colonoscopy (44389–44407, 45379, 45380, 45381, 45382, 45384, 45388, 45398) is performed and does not reach the cecum or colon-small intestine anastomosis, report the appropriate therapeutic colonoscopy code with modifier 52 (reduced services) and provide appropriate documentation. Report flexible sigmoidoscopy (45330–45347) for endoscopic examination during which the endoscope is not advanced beyond the splenic flexure."

Study Design We utilized the National Hospital Discharge Survey, 1979–2006. AARs of nonobstetric bladder and ureteral injuries and incidence of lower urinary tract injury for various hysterectomy types and deliveries were calculated for women >18 years old. Results Overall AARs of ureteral injury decreased from 0.06–0.03 per 1000 women (1979–2006). AARs of inpatient gynecologic procedures decreased from 24.9–11.8 per 1000 women (1979–2006). By hysterectomy type, bladder injury was highest in laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (VH) (13.8 per 1000) and VH (13.1 per 1000). Ureteral injury recognized during hysterectomy was most common with radical hysterectomy (7.7 per 1000) and least common with laparoscopic-assisted VH (0 per 1000). Conclusion Ureteral injuries at time of inpatient surgical procedures have decreased from 1979–2006. This corresponds with a sharp decrease in inpatient gynecologic procedures."

Both surgeons should use the CPT® code 51596, Cystectomy, complete, with continent diversion, any open technique, using any segment of small and/or large intestine to construct neobladder, with modifier -62, Two Surgeons. There are times when two different surgeons are needed because of their skills to perform different parts of a procedure included in one CPT® code. It is imperative that the billing offices of both surgeons understand that the same CPT® code with modifier -62, Two Surgeons, must be billed from each office. Documentation for medical necessity should be submitted in addition to an operative report, which clearly indicates the procedure (s) performed by each surgeon. If additional procedure (s), including add-on procedure (s), are performed by either surgeon during the same surgical session, separate code (s) can be reported without modifier 62.

The FAQs will continue to be updated with new information as the NCCI implementation progresses. For additional questions regarding NCCI, contact the Telephone Service Center (TSC) at 1-800-541-5555. I. General What is NCCI? A: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote national correct coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate claims payment. The CMS developed its coding policies based on coding conventions defined in the American Medical Association's CPT manual, national and local policies and edits, coding guidelines developed by national societies, analysis of standard medical and surgical practices, and a review of current coding practices. What are NCCI Edits? A: NCCI edits were developed to prevent improper payments when incorrect code combinations are reported. NCCI edits consist of two types: Procedure-to-procedure (column 1/column 2) edits: Define pairs of Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT-4) codes that should not be reported together. The purpose of these edits is to ensure the most comprehensive groups of codes are billed, rather than the component parts."

"text": "Coding Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Procedures ACOG frequently receives requests for an explanation of the differences between coding for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopy with vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). As a result, we are re-posting our previous article on this topic. In CPT 2008, the American Medical Association (AMA) published the total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) set of codes (58570-58573). This, in addition to the laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy code (58548), is the third set of CPT codes addressing the laparoscopic approach to hysterectomy. The other CPT code sets are the laparoscopy with vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) (58550-58554) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) (58541–58544) code sets. Each of the code sets are subdivided into uteri less than or greater than 250 grams and with or without removal of tube (s) and/or ovary (s). TLH includes laparoscopically detaching the entire uterine cervix and body from the surrounding supporting structures and suturing the vaginal cuff. It includes bivalving, coring, or morcellating the excised tissues, as required. The uterus is then removed through the vagina or abdomen. LAVH includes laparoscopically detaching the uterine body from the surrounding upper supporting structures."

"text": "\"SHERLOCK HOLMES ACTORS - The actors who played the greatest detective Authors: Revati and Sherlock Extra - © All rights reserved. INFORMATION ON FILM ADAPTATIONSSherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle’s world famous detective was portrayed by countless actors both on the big and the small screen. The character is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records – Holmes appears in the most adaptations in movie history. We have to take into consideration that in case of the older adaptations filming techniques were not so well developed as nowadays. Another point is that brutality and nudity were not so dominantly present onscreen at that time. It is a common misconception among viewers that movie and film adaptations are faithful to the original Canon of Conan Doyle. The truth is that the text telling „based on the works of Conan Doyle” usually applies only to the names of the characters and to some of their features. We have to bear in mind that in spite of the text many adaptations use a completely new storyline or change almost everything of the characters. So it may even happen that the names of the main characters are familiar, but they are very far from the literary characters they are based on. These adaptations only use the name of Holmes, or some references to the original stories."

Moriarty is a criminal mastermind whom Holmes describes as the \"\" Napoleon of crime\"\". Doyle lifted the phrase from a Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, a real-life criminal mastermind and one of the individuals upon whom the character of Moriarty was based. The character was introduced primarily as a narrative device to enable Doyle to kill Sherlock Holmes, and only featured in two of the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, in adaptations, he has often been given a greater prominence and treated as Sherlock Holmes' archenemy. Contents [ hide ]1 Appearances in works2 Personality3 Moriarty's personal history4 Real-world role models5 Depictions6 References7 External links Appearances in works [ edit]Moriarty's first appearance occurred in \"\" The Adventure of the Final Problem \"\", in which Holmes, on the verge of delivering a fatal blow to Moriarty's criminal organization, is forced to flee to continental Europe to escape Moriarty's retribution. The criminal mastermind follows, and the pursuit ends on top of the Reichenbach Falls, an encounter that apparently ends with both Holmes and Moriarty falling to their deaths. In this story, Moriarty is introduced as a criminal mastermind who protects nearly all of the criminals of England in exchange for their obedience and a share in their profits. Holmes, by his own account, was originally led to Moriarty by his perception that many of the crimes he investigated were not isolated incidents, but instead the machinations of a vast and subtle criminal organization. Moriarty plays a direct role in only one other Holmes story, The Valley of Fear, set before \"\"The Final Problem\"\" but written afterwards."

First, if Moriarty did blow his brains out (considering he is the real Moriarty), then it is less likely because the other Holmes is supposed to be smarter than Sherlock. Secondly, if the real Moriarty is someone else, then it is possible that he might be the other Holmes (sending an actor to do his bidding, smart isn't it?). One thing is sure, Andrew Scott (the one who shot himself) is not the other Holmes. If he were, either Mycroft or Sherlock would know (they would recognize their brother or deduce it at least).

RELATED | Elementary Season 2 Premiere Filming in London Sherlock first catches on to her when he notices that one of her birthmarks is missing, but he suspects that she’s working for Moriarty, not that she is the Big Bad. So why did she come after the consulting detective back in London? Because he interrupted several of her meticulously planned assassination plans. Her first instinct was to kill him discreetly, but then she became curious about Holmes’ mind. It was “something too beautiful and complicated to destroy.” Instead, she found a way to study him and became the American Irene Adler. ( Moriarty, thankfully, lets Natalie Dormer keep her British accent.) She continued to let him live because she discovered that he was not the threat she imagined he was. When he spiraled into addiction following her “death,” he proved that he was inferior to her."

Nemesis is a stronger word than enemy. Enemy is an unfriendly or hostile person. Nemesis is an avenging force. In classical mythology Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. She punished both hubris (false pride) and wrongdoing. The goddess represents the idea that one cannot escape divine retribution. Lowercase nemesis came into the language in 1597 with the meaning “retributive justice. ”One of my favorite Agatha Christie mysteries has the title Nemesis."

"text": "Is alcoholharming your stomach Effects of drinking too much alcohol How can you protect your stomach? Put simply, alcohol irritates your digestive system. Drinking – even a little – makes your stomach produce more acid than usual, which can in turn cause gastritis (the inflammation of the stomach lining). This triggers stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and, in heavy drinkers, even bleeding. Find out more about how alcohol can cause harm to your liver and affect your bladder. Effects of drinking too much alcohol“In the longer term, alcohol is associated with an increased risk of cancer of the mouth, tongue, lip, throat, stomach, pancreas and colon,” says Dr Moriarty. “ Other digestive problems caused by drinking too much include acid reflux – where stomach acid burns your throat. Alcohol can also contribute to developing a peptic ulcer – a painful, open sore in your stomach lining. ”Dr Moriarty points out that vomiting, especially if you’re very drunk and not in control, carries its own risks. “ If you’re close to unconsciousness and are sick, you can breathe vomit into your lungs, and not be able to cough it back up."

Hannah – seen recently on the other side of the law as DI Jack Cloth in crime spoof A Touch of Cloth – will play Holmes’s former supplier Rhys, who travels from London to New York to seek the detective’s help. Meanwhile, fans can also look forward to the first appearance of Holmes’s arch-adversary Moriarty. Elementary executive producer Rob Doherty said he was looking for a “tremendous actor” to play the key character, who will feature before the end of the current series as the story becomes more “serialised”.“ [ His appearance is] probably in the immediate future, but we have a few more weeks before we have to sweat that,” said Doherty. Another canonical Holmes character set to make an appearance – if only in flashback – is Sherlock’s former girlfriend Irene Adler who, in Elementary’s version of events, was murdered by Moriarty in London before the detective made his move stateside. “She’s an important element of Sherlock’s backstory. I’d love to have a face to that name,” said Doherty, speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour at the weekend. “We’ve talked about doing a flashback show [to] see why Sherlock would be drawn to this particular woman… so we definitely want to meet her. In that sense, you will see a living, breathing actress reading lines as Irene."

"text": "Definition of Red Herring A red herring in literature is a narrative element that is used to throw off readers and lead them to false conclusions. This is an especially popular literary device to use in detective stories and thrillers. An author provides one or more red herrings intentionally to divert attention away from the true object or person of interest, thereby making the conclusion to the book more of a surprise. Red herring examples can come in the form of clues, people who seem suspicious, or other fallacious reasoning done by characters that leads the reader astray. Differences Between Red Herrings and Other Fallacies Red herrings are an example of an informal fallacy. While a formal fallacy contains a flaw in logic, an informal fallacy is an argument that often contains a flaw in reasoning. An informal fallacy will often include irrelevant evidence to persuade a reader or listener to believe a false conclusion. Thus, even if the evidence is true, and therefore the logic is sound, the reasoning that connects the evidence with the conclusion is faulty. In the real world, a red herring may be unintentional (for example, any evidence in a real detective case that later proves to be irrelevant). The definition of red herring when used in literature, however, is that it is intentional."

"text": "\"Blood Father (2016)User Reviews Review this title145 Reviews Hide Spoilers Sort by: Filter by Rating:7 /10Qualities make up for the flaws – good, gritty entertainmentplpregent 2 June 2017Although Blood Father does not bring anything new to the table in terms of storytelling, it manages to provide decent entertainment by taking advantage of its filming locations, a good cast and somewhat interesting, although undeveloped, lead characters. Link (Mel Gibson) is an ex-con turned tattoo artist and former alcoholic who lives a reasonably quiet life in a trailer park home. One day, he receives a phone call from his daughter, Lydia, who has gone missing for many years, and who's seeking help, as drug dealers and law enforcement are trying to track her down. Sounds familiar? It probably does. It's a very classic story, and make no mistake about it, this tale is quite typical of the genre. I would even go as far as to say that story-wise, this film is sub-par and plot development is almost nonexistent. Add an anticlimactic and abrupt ending, and an almost shameful use of pretty interesting supporting characters, one has to wonder what Blood Father really has to offer. The answer is an overall pretty good time, despite its flaws, thanks to sympathetic characters, above-average dialogue for the genre, some gritty moments, very welcome touches of humor and great cinematography. Jean-François Richet, who directed the biographical films about Jacques Mesrine, does a pretty good job too."

"text": "Is Binary Options a Scam or Legitimate Trading Tool?by JD Lasinger | May 16, 2012 | Binary Options | 6 comments Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Linked In Before we analyze whether binary options is a scam or not I would like to take a look at day trading, an area which I have much experience, and see if day trading would qualify as a scam. As a day trader many people looked upon what I did with skepticism. Many thought that day trading was just a another form of gambling. Many trading companies would try to lure people with the potential to earn a living with electronic day trading with very little investment. The truth is, for the overwhelming majority of people, day trading was a losing effort. Few traders were successful; most lost money. The firms made a lot of money collecting commissions and profit share from the good traders. After my first year of day trading I was convinced that it was impossible, or nearly impossible to make money. I began back in 2002, after the bubble burst and volatility was at a virtual standstill. Few traders were making money with any of the traditional trading formulas that worked a few years earlier."

An internet defin ition states that a true hero is \"\"a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities\"\". In my opinion, a hero is someone who goes out of his/her way to help or to make a difference in someone's life - aperson who despite what anyone else has to say will do the right thing and be a role model to others. Qualities Courage Honor And Nobility Generosity Self-Sacrifice Wisdom Compassion Responsibility The fantasy brought to life ! Real Life vs. Larger Than Life. Real life heroes differ in so many ways from the larger than life super heroes we see on TV. However some people take the fantasy of a super hero and bring it to life. One real life hero, to me, is Martin Luther King,Jr. He showed just what a true hero is - a person who despite the consequences will stand for what is right - a man who will put his own life in danger just to make a difference in the future."

It consisted of 22 episodes, each running approximately 25 minutes at length. The show was created and produced by director James Burrows and writers Glen and Les Charles, who previously worked on Taxi, another sitcom. Cheers was produced by Charles Burrows Charles Productions in association with Paramount Television. The concept and production design of the show were inspired by a public house in Boston, the Bull & Finch, which is now called Cheers Beacon Hill. When it was first broadcast, critics praised the series as intelligent, sophisticated, cleverly written, well-cast, and well-timed. However, the Nielsen ratings for its original runs were very low. Typically, low ratings result in a show's cancellation, but before the season finale aired, the network renewed it for another season. Reruns of season 1 scored higher ratings than its first airing and the series earned award recognitions, including five Emmy Award wins in 1983."

Superimposed hypertension further increases the risk and is associated with increased dietary sodium intake. There are few data available on dietary sodium intake in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to quantify dietary sodium intake in a cohort of self-referred patients with type 2 diabetes and to identify sociodemographic characteristics associated with it. Sodium intake in this cohort was far greater than current recommendations. Increased awareness of sodium intake in this population might lead to target interventions to reduce sodium intake and potentially improve long-term outcomes. Patients with type 2 diabetes are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), and CVD risks are even higher in those with concurrent hypertension. 1 – 4 This is of great importance because 20–60% of people with type 2 diabetes have hypertension. 5Excess sodium intake contributes to hypertension both directly, by increasing intravascular volume, and indirectly, by blunting the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs. 6 – 8 High sodium intake is also associated with worsening proteinuria in patients with microalbuminuria 9 and decreases the antiproteinuric effects of antihypertensive medications."

While most democratic countries have moderate Internet censorship, other countries go as far as to limit the access of information such as news and suppress discussion among citizens. [ 1] Internet censorship also occurs in response to or in anticipation of events such as elections, protests, and riots. An example is the increased censorship due to the events of the Arab Spring. Other areas of censorship include copyrights, defamation, harassment, and obscene material. Support for and opposition to Internet censorship also varies. In a 2012 Internet Society survey 71% of respondents agreed that \"\"censorship should exist in some form on the Internet\"\". In the same survey 83% agreed that \"\"access to the Internet should be considered a basic human right\"\" and 86% agreed that \"\" freedom of expression should be guaranteed on the Internet\"\"."

"text": "How to make good use of Hashtags in Instagram?by Phil González | Jan 31, 2011 | Apps, News, Tutorials, _Destacados | 57 comments As you may already know, the Instagram team recently launched a new version of the App. ( 28.01.2011)This new version fixed some basic problems:– It added the possibility to delete “comments” individually instead of erasing the entire comment stream linked to a picture.– You can now ban any user.– Reporting a user is now possible. However the most important improvement is the introduction of # (called hashtags) in the app.. What is a hashtag?. A hashtag is a “symbol” (or code) that allows web search engines to find and categorize messages, keywords and in the case of Instagram, pictures. For instance, if you type #cat or #cats in one of your pictures, any user anywhere in the world looking for “cat” or “cats” will easily find your picture and others user’s pictures using the same #keyword. Where should I use a hashtags on Instagram?. You can use hashtags in every single one of your posts, here are a few examples: Use Hashtags in every picture comment you make!– With your Instagram User name: Each picture you post should have your name preceded by a hashtag: #yournick This will enable any user interested in your pictures to easily find them with one single search and also eliminate the need of scrolling through all the pictures on a user’s profile.–"

For example, we say more troubling and most sickening instead of troublinger and sickeningest. So, to many English-speakers, the superlative adjective winningest —meaning having the most wins —sounds wrong. And indeed some peevish grammarians hate the word. Yet despite the existence of grammatically unquestionable alternatives ( most winning, best ), winningest is deeply entrenched in sports commentary and is not going away any time soon. Those who dislike it might as well get used to it. Google News searches show winningest has been common since the 1940s, 1 and there are scattered examples from earlier.

Many Share Point projects start by building an Intranet and often, depending on the success of that implementation, it will go on to attack different business needs in the organization such as Collaboration or simplifying business processes. The world out there does not yet know or understand Share Point enough to make a decision on how to use Share Point so building the Intranet with it is a great way to get familiar with this platform. However, instead of taking advantage of the situation to reinvent the Intranet, we are still seeing « Static » Intranets with content on the page that is built to somehow serve the hundreds or thousands of viewers of the Intranet. A STATIC Intranet - What do I mean by that? A Static Intranet is really a personal expression of mine and I am sure we can find a better definition for it. It’s what comes to mind when I see an Intranet for people that does not seem organic in the way I view and find content as well as interact with it, especially in today’s world of Social in the Enterprise. There is one time where it really struck me and I often use it as an example in my speaking engagements. I was building an Intranet along with my colleagues for roughly a little over 5,000 people in the organization. At some point in the project we were told we absolutely needed to add a section called « Useful Links » and they had decided what these links were."

Credit: Carl Ho/Reuters The beginning of every June is one of the busiest times for Chinese censors. That's when the world — except China — commemorates the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. Internet censorship is tightened during this time of each year not only to prohibit discussion of the brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy protest that happened 27 years ago, but to erase the incident from Chinese history, especially among younger generations. The impact of such suppression is staggering. Only 15 out of 100 Beijing University students could recognize the “Tank Man” photo, which is the global symbol of the bloody crackdown, according to journalist Louisa Lim in her book “The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited. ”A man stands in front of a convoy of tanks in the Avenue of Eternal Peace in Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 5, 1989. Credit: Arthur Tsang/Reuters How these phrases circumvent Chinese censorship? Internet censorship in China is enforced by both the government and technology companies and implemented by both machines and human censors. This highly restrictive environment has forced Chinese web users to replace censored words with alternative phrases, ranging from phonetic and semantic variations, synonyms, misspellings of words to nicknames and satire, to communicate their messages."

Here is a revised version on how to use a headhunter in the most efficient way for your career: Many job-seekers are reluctant to use a professional recruiter. I consider this a mistake as a good headhunter has inside information and knows of jobs that will never be advertised and inside information you can never achieve from the outside. Here are 8 tips on how to use a headhunter – written by a headhunter: Prefer a specialist to a generalist: If you work in banking, find a headhunter who deals with banking people all day long as s/he will have a solid understanding of what you are talking about, what the client is looking for and how to councel you best. Be careful: Do not give out confidential information about you or your employer on the phone without having met the headhunter or knowing who their customer is. There are some black sheep out there that are collecting resumes without an assignment. Find furthermore out how your headhunter works: if s/he sends out resumes without asking you or if they send “candidate flashes”, I would personally change the headhunter. Be rare: Do not work with more than 3 headhunters. We try not to present a candidate who has already been sent by our competitor. You, on the other hand, will make a desperate impression if this happens."

Statistical Appendix A: Immigration detainees 1989–2012Appendix B: Immigration detainees by category Appendix C: Unaccompanied minors in detention Appendix D: Community detention Appendix E: Key detention facilities Introduction The policy of mandatory detention in Australia (that is the legal requirement to detain all non-citizens without a valid visa) was introduced by the Keating (Labor) Government in 1992 in response to a wave of Indochinese boat arrivals. Under this policy it is a requirement that ‘unlawful non-citizens’ (a national from another country without a valid visa) in Australia's migration zone are detained unless they have been afforded temporary lawful status through the grant of a bridging visa while they make arrangements to depart or apply for an alternative visa. Most are usually granted temporary lawful status in this manner, but if an unlawful non-citizen is considered to be a flight or security risk, or refuses to leave Australia voluntarily, they may be refused a bridging visa and detained in preparation for their removal. [ 1]Currently, all asylum seekers who arrive without authority by boat are detained and usually transferred to Christmas Island initially while their reasons for being in Australia are identified. [ 2]The main focus of Australia’s mandatory detention policy is to ensure that:• people who arrive without lawful authority do not enter the Australian community until they have satisfactorily completed health, character and security checks and been granted a visa, and• those who do not have authority to be in Australia are available for removal from the country.

[ 1] The reception center's capacity of 801 people has been greatly exceeded by numerous boat people arriving from various parts of Africa. [ 2]History [ edit]Further information: African immigration to Europe Since the early 2000s, with the onset of the ever increasing mass migration to Europe, Lampedusa has become a prime transit point for irregular migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia wanting to enter Europe. In 2004, the Libyan and Italian governments reached a secret agreement that obliged Libya to accept those deported from Italian territories. This resulted in the mass return of many people from Lampedusa to Libya between 2004 and 2005 without the endorsement of European Parliament. [ 3]By 2006, many immigrants were paying people smugglers in Libya to help get them to Lampedusa by boat. [ 4] On arrival, most were then transferred by the Italian government to reception centres in mainland Italy. Many were then released because their deportation orders were not enforced. [ 5]In 2009, the overcrowded conditions at the island's temporary immigrant reception centre came under criticism by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Stephen Lam/Reuters Email Share Tweet Save More Google on Thursday announced one of the biggest changes to its search engine, a rewriting of its algorithm to handle more complex queries that affects 90 percent of all searches. The change, which represents a new approach to search for Google, required the biggest changes to the company’s search algorithm since 2000. Now, Google, the world’s most popular search engine, will focus more on trying to understand the meanings of and relationships among things, as opposed to its original strategy of matching keywords. The company made the changes, executives said, because Google users are asking increasingly long and complex questions and are searching Google more often on mobile phones with voice search. “They said, ‘Let’s go back and basically replace the engine of a 1950s car,’ ” said Danny Sullivan, founding editor of Search Engine Land, an industry blog. “ It’s fair to say the general public seemed not to have noticed that Google ripped out its engine while driving down the road and replaced it with something else. ”Google announced the new algorithm, called Hummingbird, at an event to celebrate the search engine’s 15th birthday. The event was held in the garage Google’s founders rented when they started the company. Google revealed few details about how the new algorithm works or what it changed. It said it made the change a month ago, though consumers may not have noticed a significant difference to search results during that time."

With the 2013 federal election a heavy focus for several months of the year, it’s no surprise politicians Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbot all topped the Australian search rankings. After a busy year in the public eye, Shane Warne is back on the charts again too, coming in at #5. Anticipation around the birth of the royal baby took the world by storm, making this the most searched news story for the year. The world was shocked by the Boston Marathon Bombing in April along with the Spanish Train Crash and the recent NSW Fires. While Big Brother was watching the housemates, Australian Bing users were watching the Australian Big Brother – with the Channel Nine reality TV show beating out international phenomenon Game of Thrones at #2 and Breaking Bad #3 Australia’s two talent contest shows, The X-Factor and The Voice made the top 5. A big year for Channel Nine with two of the top five most searched TV shows being aired on the network."

It will also map the different gatekeeper concerns about media diversity as evidenced in existing research before the background of network gatekeeping theory critically analyses some of the currently discussed regulatory approaches and develops the contours of a more user-centric approach towards approaching gatekeeper control and media diversity. Design/methodology/approach– This is a conceptual research work based on desk research into the relevant and communications science, economic and legal academic literature and the relevant laws and public policy documents. Based on the existing evidence as well as on applying the insights from network gatekeeping theory, this paper then critically reviews the existing legal/policy discourse and identifies elements for an alternative approach. Findings– This paper finds that when looking at search engines, social networks and app stores, many concerns about the influence of the new information intermediaries on media diversity have not so much their source in the control over critical resources or access to information, as the traditional gatekeepers do. Instead, the real bottleneck is access to the user, and the way the relationship between social network, search engine or app platforms and users is given form. Based on this observation, the paper concludes that regulatory initiatives in this area would need to pay more attention to the dynamic relationship between gatekeeper and gated. Research limitations/implications– Because this is a conceptual piece based on desk-research, meaning that our assumptions and conclusions have not been validated by own empirical research. Also, although the authors have conducted to their best knowledge the literature review as broad and as concise as possible, seeing the breadth of the issue and the diversity of research outlets, it cannot be excluded that we have overlooked one or the other publication."

This ranking of online searches is very different from the traditional map of the global powerhouses of higher education. There is a strong interest in online courses, rather than traditional campus-based universities, says Google. And there are five Indian institutions in the top 20 of most searched-for universities. The top search worldwide is for the University of Phoenix, a US-based, for-profit university, with many online courses and a sometimes controversial record on recruitment. The University of Phoenix, founded in the 1970s, comes ahead of famous US academic institutions such as Harvard, Stanford and Columbia. Online students In second place in this league table of university searches is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - last week ranked as the world's best university and also an institution with a strong record for pioneering online courses.

"text": "Gmail's home page as it looked on March 31, 2004, shortly before the service launched Skizzers.org By Harry Mc Cracken April 1, 2014If you wanted to pick a single date to mark the beginning of the modern era of the web, you could do a lot worse than choosing Thursday, April 1, 2004, the day Gmail launched. Scuttlebutt that Google was about to offer a free email service had leaked out the day before: Here’s John Markoff of the New York Times reporting on it at the time. But the idea of the search kingpin doing email was still startling, and the alleged storage capacity of 1GB— 500 times what Microsoft’s Hotmail offered—seemed downright implausible. So when Google issued a press release date-stamped April 1, an awful lot of people briefly took it to be a really good hoax. ( Including me. ) Gmail turned out to be real, and revolutionary. And a decade’s worth of perspective only makes it look more momentous. The first true landmark service to emerge from Google since its search engine debuted in 1998, Gmail didn’t just blow away Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, the dominant free webmail services of the day. With its vast storage, zippy interface, instant search and other advanced features, it may have been the first major cloud-based app that was capable of replacing conventional PC software, not just complementing it. Even the things about Gmail that ticked off some people presaged the web to come: Its scanning of messages to find keywords that could be used for advertising purposes kicked off a conversation about online privacy that continues on to this day."

"text": "As an Internet marketer, you must have heard about the Knowledge Graph, Google's famous things-not-strings endeavor. It is thanks to the Knowledge Graph that one sometimes gets straightforward immediate answers to their questions. For example, if we search for ' who is Marc Antony', we'll get a quick summary of the politician's bio along with some images of him at the top of the search results page (By the way, if you use voice search, a shorter version of the answer will even be recited into your speakers): Now, imagine that Marc Antony is actually the name of your brand. Wouldn't your brand benefit from being immediately found on Google and getting such a loud introduction? Unfortunately, there isn't a magic button you can push to make the information about your brand appear on the Knowledge Graph each time someone searches for your company's name. However, there are certain categories of businesses that stand a fair chance of that happening provided they have a strong brand and are present on certain networks (we'll discuss this in detail further). For example, Knowledge Graph results frequently show up for: Local businesses If you run a local business, most likely you have made sure it shows up on Google Maps. You may as well have a Google+ Local or a Google Places page for it. Google may take information from any of these services to feed Knowledge Graph results for your local brand name (see the screenshot above).

Consisting of millions of websites, advertisers can choose to display their adverts in multiple formats to a range of audiences across the globe using a wide variety of targeting methods. The Google Display Network accounts for 20% of all Ad Words traffic, and reaches 92% of all Internet users in the US. These figures will continue to rise as the network expands in the future, so it is important that advertisers understand exactly how to utlise the power of Display Advertising to promote their business to relevant audiences across the web. Why Use Adwords Display Advertising? Google estimates that their display network provides coverage to over 90 percent of all Internet users, which is one rather large reason why you should be using it. However, it’s not just the reach of the network that makes it so impressive, it’s the ability to target users in a variety of ways that makes the Google Display Network such a potentially lucrative platform for advertisers. Different Types of Display Adverts It is a common misconception that the Display Network only provides you with the option of displaying image ads.

Now, though, it’s time for something more specific to 2014: the year’s top trending searches on Google. That should be another fun list to read, right? Nope! As it turns out, people often search for things on Google that aren’t fun, and a lot of things happened in 2014 that weren’t fun. For example, Google’s top search trend in 2014 was for Robin Williams, with Ebola and the lost Malaysian Airlines plane coming in at three and four. Number two was The World Cup, so at least that one doesn’t involve anyone dying. Things are only slightly better in Google’s specific “People” category, with Jennifer Lawrence coming in at number one. While that might seem like a fun honor for her, don’t forget that 2014 has been a year of disappointment and misery. We’d wager that a good chunk of the people Googling her name were looking for those hacked nude photos—not to dismiss how popular she is in her own right."

Check out what the latest “top keyword searches are today!In late 2010, we studied for the second time, the “Most Popular Keywords” searched on the Internet. We gathered from as many sources as we could to a base of phrases and added even more than we had from the original attempt at finding the top searches online. We realized in the second attempt of the keywords study, that adult keywords were NOT the most sought after online. In the original study, we made the conclusion that “adult” or “sex” keywords were the most searched because the number of phrases in the top 100 that were related to those adult topics made up a majority of the phrases. It also made sense from a “Maslow’s hierarchy of needs” perspective. In the privacy of our homes, you might think most of physiological and safety needs are met. So, we migrate to the love and belonging part of the hierarchy & we might start typing in phrases like “porn” or “xxx” while surfing the Internet more easily. However, there is another number to consider when evaluating what people are searching on the Internet and in that second attempt in 2010, we concluded the volume of each of the terms should be considered.

Without search engines like Google, it would be practically impossible to find the information you need when you browse the Web. Like all search engines, Google uses a special algorithm to generate search results. While Google shares general facts about its algorithm, the specifics are a company secret. This helps Google remain competitive with other search engines on the Web and reduces the chance of someone finding out how to abuse the system. Google uses automated programs called spiders or crawlers, just like most search engines. Also like other search engines, Google has a large index of keywords and where those words can be found. What sets Google apart is how it ranks search results, which in turn determines the order Google displays results on its search engine results page (SERP). Google uses a trademarked algorithm called Page Rank, which assigns each Web page a relevancy score. A Web page's Page Rank depends on a few factors: The frequency and location of keywords within the Web page: If the keyword only appears once within the body of a page, it will receive a low score for that keyword."

"text": "How To Make Money Blogging for 2018In 2 years I went from not knowing what a blog was to making more money blogging than my day job. The purpose of this article is to show you how to make money with a blog. I suspect most people won’t stick with it long enough to make a full-time income, but even making an extra few hundred dollars a month isn’t too bad either (here are some other ways to make money as well). This article is extremely long (more like 10 articles), but I wanted it to be a thorough and helpful resource for those wanting to start a blog or make some more money from the one they already have. I should also mention that I really haven’t written about blogging or making money from blogs on Seed Time yet, because I wanted to make sure that it was a viable option for making some cash. Now that I have found that it is, I decided to pour out everything I learned the last two years about it…You can keep reading this E-Book below or get one of these copies: PDF Version (FREE)Paperback Version (about $5)Article Contents For the sake of convenience, I added links to different sections of this article, so you can easily skip ahead to the section you want…4 Steps To Get Started Blogging in 10 Minutes!How it all started for me Blogging basics How to get a self-hosted blog The importance of a customizable theme How I make money with this blog How long does it take to make money from a blog How to get traffic to your blog SEO tips for blogs How I increased Adsense income by $15007 Tools that have helped me succeed Warnings for those just starting out How to get started blogging in 10 minutes!Follow these steps if you would like to get started blogging in about 10 minutes!This is just a quick cliffnotes version for committed bloggers only. These recommendations aren’t best suited for those dabbling with blogging, but they are the things that I would do if I had to do it all over again.1. Find a domain name Go to domize.com and search until you find a domain name that is available (green ones are open, red ones are taken). If possible aim for one that has at least one of the keywords you would like to be found in the search engines for.2. Get a domain name and web hosting package from Hostgator (my recommended host)Head over to Hostgator and select either the “Hatchling” or “Baby” plan."

"text": "\"SEO Optimization - Learn to Optimize for SEOThis guide will be an introduction to and overview of search engine optimization (SEO), a hugely important tactic for driving traffic to your site. In this guide you’ll learn: What is SEO & Why is it Important? SEO Keyword Research & Keyword Targeting Best Practices On-Page Optimization Best Practices Let's get started!1. What is SEO & Why is it Important? Search engine optimization is the process of optimizing web pages and their content to be easily discoverable by users searching for terms relevant to your website. The term SEO also describes the process of making web pages easier for search engine indexing software, known as \"\"crawlers,\"\" to find, scan, and index your site. While the concept of SEO is relatively straightforward, many newcomers to SEO still have questions about the specifics, such as: How do you “optimize” for your site or your company’s site for search engines? How do you know how much time to spend on SEO? How can you differentiate “good” SEO advice from “bad” or harmful SEO advice? Perhaps the most important aspect of search engine optimization is how you can actually leverage SEO to help drive more relevant traffic, leads, and sales for your business."

"text": "\"Lin Xieyi, Keen Interest in Geopolitics Updated Nov 17, 2017 · Upvoted by Xinchun Li, lives in China · Author has 636 answers and 5.6m answer views Originally Answered: Why is Google banned in China?“We want to be in China serving Chinese users” - Sundar Pichai, current Google CEO. [ 1]Let’s clear up a misconception: Google is blocked, but not banned in China. The Google office is located within the Fifth ring road in Beijing and they had recently moved into a new office premise within the Fourth-Ring road. Google has never left China [2] , they just shifted their main operations (search and advertising) to another Chinese city: Hong Kong. Let’s examine the factors that prompted the Google founders to make this decision to relocate on March 23, 2009. Google refused to continue censoring (“filtering”) content on behalf of the Chinese government, in the aftermath of a spate of hacking attacks on Google’s servers, while continuing to do so for the US government. [ 3] [4] (Talk about double standards)Sergey Brin was instrumental in convincing both co-founder Larry Page and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt to defy Chinese authorities by not complying with local censorship laws. Eric was not in favor of running afoul with the Chinese government while Larry was sort of neutral. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was a hard nut with a Soviet-era mentality. He believes the Chinese government will dissolve and the Chinese economy collapse just like his former resident country the Soviet Union, after which Google can monopolize the Chinese search engine market with at least 90% penetration just like most other countries on Earth.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:28In this week’s Creator’s Tip, we want to show you how you can find the meta tags that a creator is using on any of their You Tube videos. Why is this information important? Well, there may be some specific search terms that you want your video to rank for but you are consistently being outranked by other content. A crucial component of video optimization involves research; discovering and confirming the tactics that others have used to optimize their content. Learning from others can really help in your own efforts especially for the more obvious features like titles and descriptions. Tags are also a ranking factor, but because they are now hidden, you’ll need to do a little extra detective work to uncover them: Are You Tube Meta Tags Still Important? Back in August of 2012, You Tube decide to remove the tags section from the video watch page. Keane from You Tube announced in a You Tube Help thread that they decided to remove the tags from showing up on the video watch page because some are abusing it. Tags no longer appear on this page – this isn’t a bug, but a change that went out this week."

"text": "The Eleven Most Influential Yogis Alive Right Now April 30, 2015 by Lucinda Staniland 12 Comments Facebook Twitter Pinterest Print Krishnamacharyaby Lucinda Staniland The yoga teachers and spiritual leaders that established and spread yoga in the Western world—people like K. Pattabhi Jois, Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar, B. K. S. Iyengar and Indra Devi—are old or dead. There’s no denying their influence on contemporary yoga, but it’s the new generation of yogi and yoginis who are creating modern yoga as we know it. Many students now have never heard of Krishnamacharya or even Desikachar but they know all about Kathryn Budig. And what a strange beast this thing we call yoga has become. With all it’s contradictions, controversies, advertising campaigns, celebrity endorsements, and the pursuit of the perfect ‘yoga body’, modern day yoga is both a blessing and a mine field. So this isn’t a list of heroes. These aren’t necessarily the best, or the most authentic, or the most honourable yogis. ( In fact some of them also appeared on our List of Yoga Scandals ). What they are is the yogis with the most influence. To me that means the yogis that are having the most impact in the world of yoga, or have had in the last decade."

I digress... I've followed John Mayer since he was a young man in the late 90's releasing EP's and his first set of radio singles. It's been pretty incredible to see him grow and change as an artist and as a man. One thing, however, has not changed about John Mayer and that seems to be a longing for a simple life with a woman that he truly, deeply cares for. Other songs like Home Life and almost the entire album Born and Raised ring of a man who just wants to find her and love her forever without all the challenges of being a famous musician. I believe that John is torn between wanting to be a rambling man who sucks the marrow out of youth and wanting to be the rock steady man of someones dreams."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Internet You Tube What is wmg? and why are they messing up the youtube audio?half the videos on youtube are missing audio now! whats up with that?2 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Don't take it personally. Unfortunately for you, any music that is not your creation and which is used in your video is considered \"\"copyright infringement\"\". The big music/media corporations such as UMG, EMI, Warner and Viacom not only \"\"own\"\" their music, they also own the \"\"rights\"\" to them. That includes how and where \"\"their music\"\" can be publicly presented. Thus, they would apparently be 100% within their rights to claim the music in your video as their own, especially if you didn't seek some kind of licence or written permission to use it and \"\"broadcast\"\" it over You Tube. I have not seen your video, so please don't hold it against me, but those companies could easily and legally force You Tube to take your video \"\"off the air\"\" for any number of reasons: 1) If you did use \"\"their music\"\", that is considered part of the famous disclaimer:...\"\"Unauthorized duplication, reproduction or rebroadcast whether in whole or in part without the expressed written consent of [corporation name] is strictly prohibited.\"\" Their fear really isn't about you, but other people who could conceivably download, copy or just listen to \"\"their music\"\" on-demand without having bought it. 2) They might believe in their own minds that you may be lessening the value of \"\"their property\"\" by presenting/broadcasting it in a small 4x3-inch, low-resolution video that maybe has mono sound and that they may consider non-professional."

The Key To Top Video Rankings On You Tube & Google Drew Hubbard on February 11, 2010 at 1:38 pm More Many of us in the SEO community obsess about Google algorithm changes, personalized search, Bing market share growth, and the myriad minutia that affects search engine behavior. But for all of the attention that we give most of the major players in search, it remains a mystery to me why the second largest search engine is routinely ignored. In case you hadn’t realized, in terms of share of search, You Tube remains ahead of Yahoo!, safely in the No. 2 spot behind Google, according to com Score. Clients and colleagues frequently ask, “Why do some videos rank well on Google but not You Tube and vice-versa?” Just like all of life’s important questions, the answer is complicated. Therefore, I will concentrate only on the most important factors. When it comes to SEO, most of us follow the general rule that what’s good for Google is usually good enough for other search engines."

To make your journey into the You Tube community a bit easier, here’s a guide into what camera you should buy – and for what reason: For the vlogger – Canon S120So, you’ve decided to become the new Charles Trippy? Good for you! There are numerous ways to vlog, and while some go for more edited and scripted vlogs, most start out with the basic selfie-based vlog. If this is what you want to get into, you shouldn’t worry about getting the most expensive camera the first time around. Canon S120 is for the vlogger on a budget, and has been used by the likes of Fun for Louis and Casey Neistat."

( It’s Much More Than You Think)Front Page Slider, NMR Exclusive, You Tubers Zoom Out Zoom In By NMR Staff 2:06 pm April 17, 2015Calculating how much a You Tube creator makes annually is no simple feat. There’s a lot of guesswork ( believe me, we’ve done it before ), but so far, sites like Social Blade have only been able to provide a large range in what they think some of your favorite personalities earn. Here at New Media Rockstars, we combined our insight into the industry with our knowledge of insiders to estimate the CPMs and average brand intergrations per year, along with any additional income from outside sources such as merchandise and large deals for books or television shows. In the end, these are all just estimations, but they’re the closest we’ve been able to get in a long time.22. Hola Soy German: $1 Million Yet another Spanish gaming channel has made it on the list. German doesn’t just stick to Minecraft though, and often vlogs on his channel as well. People are drawn to his personality and sense of humor, which has proven to be the main driver of his success. However, because Hola’s channel is so unique, we’ve estimated that he may sit at a slightly lower CPM, despite his high subscriber count.21."

June 4, 2010 by Mitz If you are looking for a You Tube URL you either need to embed a video into a website or copy the link to paste it somewhere else. The you Tube URL moves around a lot and unfortunately the You Tube website changes often, and this article is partly out of date. Here is the new version: Find a URL of a Youtube Video The URL (uniform resource locater) means the address to something on the internet. It could be a webpage, file, or a picture. In the case of Youtube, it is the address of where a particular video is located on the Youtube website. Why do you need to know the URL of a Youtube video? A year or two ago, no-one cared what the URL of a Youtube video was. However now everyone wants to know. This is because everyone is downloading Youtube video’s off the internet and for this we need the Url of the Youtube video."

You will see that user's videos/favorites, or videos with that tag, in your subscription center.

"text": "What Does Mucus in the Stool Mean? Passing mucus in stool can be a cause of worry for many people as it is a symptom of many severe disorders. This article tells you about what does mucus in the stool mean. Tagged Under: Mucus In Stool Advertisement The presence of a small amount of mucus in the stool is not really a cause of serious concern. Mucus is a viscous secretion of the mucous membranes. The secretion of mucus in the digestive tract helps keep the inner lining of the small bowel and the colon moist and well-lubricated. It facilitates smooth passage of the food in the gastrointestinal tract. It is normal to pass a small amount of mucus in the stool, but if you are passing large amounts of mucus on a daily basis, and it is accompanied with bleeding, then you must seek medical help as soon as possible. What Causes Mucus In Stools? Hemorrhoid It is characterized by blood loss by any organ, tissue, or cell of the body."

"text": "What You Should Know About Your Pet's Poop By Dr. Jessica Vogelsang DVM | July 28, 2014Twitter Print Email Thinkstock As a veterinarian, a lot of my time is spent on poop — looking at it, talking about it, thinking about it—all in the service of assessing the health of the pet from which it came. Poop provides a wealth of information, which is why it may seem that veterinarians ask you about your pet’s poop — and request samples of it — pretty much every time you come into the clinic. Of course, pet owners also pay a good deal of attention to their animals' poop — according to pet insurer VPI, diarrhea was No. 7 on the top 10 list of reasons dogs and cats are taken to the vet. We all know what an ideal stool should look like, right? Not too hard, not too soft, just right. But some variation on that theme is normal and doesn’t necessarily mean you have to rush your pet in for a vet visit. Some cases of abnormal stools are absolutely an emergency; others just feel like one, especially if you’re the one tasked with cleaning the carpet. One of the more common questions we answer over the phone is Do I need to bring my pet in? It's always worth asking."

Common Liver Examinations: The following are common tests or examinations that your healthcare provider may perform on you to determine whether you have liver damage caused by chemotherapy (such as hepatotoxicity): Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan - This test is more specific than plain x-rays, as a computer takes x-rays of your chest, abdomen or pelvis region, from different angles, to show a cross-sectional view of your organs in your body. How it works: As you lie on a movable table, a scanner inside of a machine moves around you. X-rays are taken at different angles, as the computer records the pictures. The computer then puts the pictures in a certain order, so that the specialist can interpret the findings. Sometimes, you are required to drink a dye solution (called oral contrast), or a liquid dye is injected into a large vein. This helps to improve the picture, as the computer can then notice abnormalities as the dye passes through your body. You may be required to fast (not eat) after midnight the day of the exam. Your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions to you. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Using a long, narrow tube, an ERCP allows your healthcare provider to see your liver, gallbladder, pancreas and sphincter of Oddi in your body."

Anemia Fleas Ticks Toxoplasmosis Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites are common in cats, with prevalence rates as high as 45% depending upon the population studied. The parasites can be wormlike (e.g., stomach worms, roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms) or single-celled microscopic organisms (e.g., Isospora, Giardia, Toxoplasma ). The signs associated with parasite infections are fairly nonspecific, such as a dull haircoat, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, mucoid or bloody feces, loss of appetite, pale mucous membranes, or a pot-bellied appearance. The vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and dehydration caused by intestinal parasites will weaken a cat, making it more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections and diseases, thus robbing your cat of good health. Some feline GI parasites have the potential to infect humans. Wormlike Parasites Roundworms Roundworms ( Toxascaris leonina and Toxocara cati) are the most common intestinal parasite of cats, with an estimated prevalence of 25% to 75%, and often higher in kittens. Adult roundworms are three to five inches long, cream-colored, and live in the cat's intestine, where they survive by eating food ingested by the host without attaching to the wall of the intestine. The adult female worm produces fertile eggs that are passed in the infected cat's feces. The eggs require several days to several weeks to develop into the infective larva stage."

If you report it to your doctor you may find she doesn't think it is a major concern. But you may still feel uneasy about it and wonder whether others also experience it. Mucus in the stool is a very common symptom of IBS. It makes it onto the short list of IBS symptoms from the National Institutes of Health. Surprisingly, scant research has been done in terms of finding out what causes the mucus to be there and what the mucus means about how your digestive system is functioning, or for that matter, not functioning as it should. This overview will help you understand the mucus that you see and, perhaps, put some of your fears to rest. What Is Mucus? Mucus is a fluid that is produced by mucous membranes found throughout your body. Mucus serves the purpose of moistening and protecting the lining of many of the body's systems."

It’s important to know your dog’s “normal” when it comes to poop The most obvious symptom of a health problem in dogs is diarrhea, which has several characteristics that vary depending on the cause There are several potential causes of diarrhea in dogs, ranging from a change in diet to cancer It’s time to call the veterinarian if the diarrhea doesn’t resolve on its own in a day or so, or if your dog is showing other signs of illness By Dr. Becker This topic is a rather unpleasant but important one: assessing your dog's poop for signs of a health problem. Since our canine companions can't tell us when they have cramps, a tummy ache, or some other digestive upset, it's up to us to stay alert for signs of trouble. One of the best ways to do this is to monitor not only what goes into your dog, but also what comes out of him. What's 'Normal' Poop for Your Dog? Generally speaking, a healthy canine stool is moist and firm, and has a mild odor. Healthy Dog Stool Dogs fed processed kibble (which I don't recommend) typically produce large quantities of voluminous poop for several reasons. First, most kibble manufacturers add unnaturally high amounts of fiber (beet pulp, soybean, and rice hulls, as well as \"\"cellulose,\"\" otherwise known as wood fiber, or sawdust). The normal fiber content of the ancestral diet is between 4 and 6 percent. The fiber content of many dry foods is greater than 15 percent, and most \"\"diet\"\" or \"\"lite\"\" foods contain more than 28 percent fiber."

For about three weeks I have been experiencing rectal itching..it not all the time it is not on the outside...so I am not scratching at all. I have tried prep H suppositories thinking I had a small hemmrhoid...as soon as I use one I have the need to go to the bathroom. Once I go I have a constant urge to go for the next two or three hours, which makes for a lot of stress and worry, I do have to go to work. I am also really gassy and I cannot control it. The gas does not feel right at all ..it feel like something is stopping it from coming out, it still does but it feel weird. When Ido go either a very small amount of mucous comes out and that is all..or it is small and pellet like. I have added extra fiber to my diet and am drinking more water. Once I go once I am in and out of the bathroom for hours and everythign down below burns and itches. I also feel like I am leaking urine at times without feeling like I have to go at all."

"text": "\"List of Mucous-Forming Foodsby TRACI JOY Aug. 14, 2017Mucous is a necessary component in the body, as it keeps the interior linings of the body moist. Mucous also is produced in response to what the body feels may be toxic invaders, such as dust particles, or even certain foods. Mucous also forms in response to irritants, and there are some foods that irritate the body into producing unhealthy mucous, which is thick, cloudy and sticky. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Dairy Products Dairy products are known as the most mucous-producing food there is. According to Dr. Ingrid Pincott, a naturopath, milk and dairy products increase the production of mucous, which increases the rate of respiratory illnesses and congestion. Dairy products are also highly allergenic, and can lead to intestinal distress and diarrhea, as well as stools that contain thick mucous. Gluten Containing Products In an excerpt from the book \"\"North American Diet,\"\" it is explained that foods that contain gluten, such as anything with rye, wheat, oats or barley, are mucous-producing foods. Gluten is a \"\"glue-like\"\" substance that holds molecules together, and requires the production of extra stomach acid for digestion. Foods containing glutens are breads, pasta, baked goods and cereals. Gluten, in the form of flour, is also found in soups, sauces and even injected into some meats."

It is composed of sensitive blood vessels. When continual tension is applied onto the pelvic area, hemorrhoids become inflamed and irritated. Inflamed hemorrhoids can bring so much discomfort to the affected person. There are two types of hemorrhoids: internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids are found inside the rectal area. External hemorrhoids are found around or outside the anus. Hemorrhoids can bring discomfort, itching, pain and bleeding. Symptoms may vary depending on the type and severity of hemorrhoids."

May 17, 2012 Comments60KViews Print Save To have healthy bowel movements, it's essential that you support colon and rectal health with all of your daily choices. Keeping these areas clean and healthy provides a lowered risk of cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, less gas and a more efficient absorption of water and minerals. You will also experience ad feeling of lightness, comfort and well-being in your abdominal region. Before we discuss specific choices that you can make to keep your colorectal region healthy and to have comfortable bowel movements, let's review some basic anatomy and physiology of this area. Your colon and rectum are collectively referred to as your large intestine, which is the last part of your digestive tract. A Journey Through Your Large Intestine After food passes through your stomach and small intestine, the remaining material, mostly waste products in liquid form, move on to the your colon, which is the first part of your large intestine. Your colon is approximately six feet long and serves primarily to dehydrate liquid waste material. Your colon begins at the lower right hand corner of your abdomen, where it's called your cecum. Attached to your cecum is a twisted, worm-shaped tube called your appendix. From your cecum, your colon travels up the right side of your abdomen, where it's called your ascending colon."

Related to irritable bowel syndrome: Crohn's disease Irritable Bowel Syndrome Definition Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common intestinal condition characterized by abdominal painand cramps; changes in bowel movements ( diarrhea, constipation, or both); gassiness;bloating; nausea; and other symptoms. There is no cure for IBS. Much about the conditionremains unknown or poorly understood; however, dietary changes, drugs, and psychologicaltreatment are often able to eliminate or substantially reduce its symptoms. Description IBS is the name people use today for a condition that was once called—among other things—colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic bowel, and functional boweldisorder. Some of these names reflected the now outdated belief that IBS is a purelypsychological disorder, a product of the patient's imagination. Although modern medicinerecognizes that stress can trigger IBS attacks, medical specialists agree that IBS is a genuinephysical disorder—or group of disorders—with specific identifiable characteristics. No one knows for sure how many Americans suffer from IBS. Surveys indicate a range of 10-20%, with perhaps as many as 30% of Americans experiencing IBS at some point in their lives."

If the black color is from blood, it is known as \"\"melena.\"\" The dark color indicates that the blood has been in the body for some time, and is coming from higher up in the gastrointestinal tract. False Melena A black stool caused by food, supplements, medication, or minerals is known as \"\"false melena.\"\" Iron supplements, taken alone or as part of a multivitamin for iron-deficiency anemia, may cause stools to be black or even greenish in color. Foods that are dark blue or black in color may also cause black stools. Substances that can cause false melena are: Black licorice Blueberries Iron supplements Lead Bismuth (Pepto-bismol) A physician should be consulted immediately if black stools cannot be attributed to a benign cause, such as an iron supplement or a food. Diagnosing Melena The black color alone is not enough to determine that it is blood that is being passed in the stool."

"text": "Nay G. Hoche, MD on behalf of Medical Center of Trinity OBGYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology)Different things can cause the amniotic fluid to be unclear, including meconium, says Nay Hoche, MD, from Medical Center of Trinity. Watch this video to find out what else can influence the color of amniotic fluid. Peter Nassar, MD on behalf of Saint Agnes Medical Center OBGYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology)The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby is usually a clear to yellow-colored liquid. Sometimes, when a woman’s water breaks, we notice it can be yellow-green or even a dark green color. This is a result of fetal stool (meconium) that has passed into the amniotic sac. There are a few reasons this would happen. If babies are under distress or past their due date, they may pass stool prematurely, which makes the water bag green. This is usually not a big deal during labor. We will monitor the baby for signs of distress, and at the time of delivery, we have specialists who clear meconium from the baby's mouth and vocal cords, so the baby does not inhale meconium fluid, which can cause inflammation in the newborn's lungs.

Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions. From the evolutionary perspective, tissues appear in more complex organisms. For example, multicellular protists, ancient eukaryotes, do not have cells organized into tissues. Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is characterized by specific functions that contribute to the overall health and maintenance of the body. A disruption of the structure is a sign of injury or disease. Such changes can be detected through histology, the microscopic study of tissue appearance, organization, and function. The Four Types of Tissues Epithelial tissue, also referred to as epithelium, refers to the sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body, lines internal cavities and passageways, and forms certain glands."

The roles of this tissue include support, binding, cushioning, and storage of nutrients. This tissue contains a blood supply, has nerve endings, and repairs body organs. While connective tissues vary widely in structure there are three common characteristics: A. All connective tissue has an extracellular matrix, cells and fibers are held in place by this ground substance that varies from semi-fluid to solid. The matrix is related to the function of each tissue type. For example, bone has a solid calcium matrix for support. B. All connective tissues contain protein fibers. The most common fiber type is made of the protein collagen; collagen fibers are flexible and strong. Another fiber type contains the protein elastin; elastic fibers allow stretching or expansion and recoil which is necessary for major blood vessels or the lungs."

As reported by several scientific publications, nerve tissue is highly organized, considering that it is in charge for initiating, coordinate and controlling human body’s adaptation to the environment. The nerve tissue is composed of billions of neurons, recognized as highly specialized cells for transmission of electrical impulses, countless connections and other cell types that support their functions. Specifically neurons are responsible for receiving stimulus (electric signals), both from internal sources (body’s) or external (environment) and conducting nerve impulses back as response. These cells carry out their functions by associating themselves with specific sensory organs, such as eyes, tongue, nose, skin or ears, with receptors, as well as communicating with other cells, for instance, glandular or muscular. [ Show as slideshow]Neurons typically consist of a nucleus (usually large), a perikaryon that houses typical eukaryotic cell’s organelles, and neuritis, i.e., several dendrites and a single axon, that can reach 1 m. The connection among neurons is known as synapse, and nervous impulses arriving through axons, pass to the next neuron by the secretion of neurotransmitters supporting cells."

The cells within a tissue share a common embryonic origin. Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern that achieves the tissue’s functions. From the evolutionary perspective, tissues appear in more complex organisms. For example, multicellular protists, ancient eukaryotes, do not have cells organized into tissues. Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is characterized by specific functions that contribute to the overall health and maintenance of the body. A disruption of the structure is a sign of injury or disease. Such changes can be detected through histology, the microscopic study of tissue appearance, organization, and function."

"text": "\"The somatosensory systems inform us about objects in our external environment through touch (i.e., physical contact with skin) and about the position and movement of our body parts (proprioception) through the stimulation of muscle and joints. The somatosensory systems also monitor the temperature of the body, external objects and environment, and provide information about painful, itchy and tickling stimuli. The sensory information processed by the somatosensory systems travels along different anatomical pathways depending on the information carried. For example, the posterior column-medial lemniscal pathway carries discriminative touch and proprioceptive information from the body, and the main sensory trigeminal pathway carries this information from the face. Whereas, the spinothalamic pathways carry crude touch, pain and temperature information from the body, and the spinal trigeminal pathway carries this information from the face. This first series of chapters on somatosensory systems concentrates on the somatosensory systems that provide accurate information about the location and temporal features of stimuli and about sharp pain, tactile stimuli and the position and movement of body parts. This chapter describes somatosensory stimuli, the sensations produced when they are applied, and the cutaneous, muscle, and joint receptors that are responsible for initiating the perceived somatic sensations. Subsequent chapters describe the pathways processing other pain, temperature, crude touch and visceral sensations.2.1 Somatic Stimuli Modality Specificity in the Somatosensory System. The somatosensory systems process information about, and represent, several modalities of somatic sensation (i.e., pain, temperature, touch, proprioception). Each of these modalities can be divided into sub-modalities, as shown in Table 1 (e.g., pain into sharp, pricking, cutting pain; dull, burning pain; and deep aching pain)."

Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Muscles function to produce force and motion. They are primarily responsible for maintaining and changing posture, locomotion, as well as movement of internal organs, such as the contraction of the heart and the movement of food through the digestive system via peristalsis. Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth. Muscle action can be classified as being either voluntary or involuntary. Cardiac and smooth muscles contract without conscious thought and are termed involuntary, whereas the skeletal muscles contract upon command.

A functional approach to anatomy can clarify normal and chronic or traumatic dyfunction. Functionally, the oral cavity and oropharynx are the pathway that food takes, their boundaries are the muscles that move food.

They discovered on the surface by a thin layer of skin and soft tissue called the eyelids. The eyelids serve multiple purposes including protecting the eyeball from injury, controlling the amount of light that enters the eye and also constantly lubricating the eyeball with tears secreted by the lacrimal gland during blinking. All these functions together help maintain the structural integrity of the eyeball and protect them from external influences. From an anatomical point of view, the eyelid consists primarily of skin, underlying soft tissue also called a subcutaneous tissue and a thin layer of muscle called the orbicularis oculi. Under this muscle are other issues that divide the area into different planes. These are called septum and include the fibrous orbital septum and tarsi. In addition to this, in order for the eyelids to open are lid retractors that help assist blinking. Finally, there also exists a small amount of fat tissue as well.

"text": "Muscle structure and function This is an excerpt from Principles and Practice of Resistance Training by Michael H. Stone, Ph D, Meg Stone, MS, and William A. Sands, Ph D. Defining Muscle The basic function of muscle is to generate force. Secondarily, muscles can provide some shape and form to the organism. Anatomically and functionally, muscle can be divided into two types, smooth and striated. Striated or striped muscle can be further divided into skeletal muscle and cardiac (heart) muscle. Regardless of the type, all muscles share the following basic properties (Gowitzke and Milner 1988):• Conductivity: A muscle has the ability to conduct an action potential.• Irritability: When stimulated, the muscle will react.• Contractility: A muscle can shorten or produce tension between its ends.• Relaxation: A muscle can return to resting properties after contraction.• Distensibility: A muscle can be stretched by a force outside of the muscle itself. The muscle is not injured as long as it is not stretched past its physiological limits.• Elasticity: The muscle will resist elongation and will return to its original position after passive or active elongation. Elasticity is the opposite of distensibility. Smooth muscle and striated muscle can easily be differentiated from each other in a variety of ways, including appearance. For example, smooth muscle is uni-nucleated and contains sarcomeres (the functional units of muscle) that are arranged at oblique angles to each other; under a light microscope smooth muscle appears to be relatively featureless as a result of the orientation of its sarcomeres. On the other hand, striated muscle contains protein arrays called myofibrils that are parallel to each other and thus form striations or stripes."

The more complex skeletal system of vertebrates is internal and is composed of several different types of tissues that are known collectively as connective tissues. This designation includes bone and the various fibrous substances that form the joints, connect bone to bone and bone to muscle, enclose muscle bundles, and attach the internal organs to the supporting structure.

Support of the body is achieved in many protozoans by a simple stiff, translucent, nonliving envelope called a pellicle. In nonmoving (sessile) coelenterates, such as coral, whose colonies attain great size, it is achieved by dead structures, both internal and external, which form supporting axes. In the many groups of animals that can move, it is achieved either by external structures known as exoskeletons or by internal structures known as endoskeletons.

"text": "Interactions of Skeletal Muscles Skeletal muscles interact to produce movements by way of anatomical positioning and the coordinated summation of innervation signals. Learning Objectives Explain the summation interactions of skeletal muscles and how they affect movement Key Takeaways Key Points Muscle contractions can be termed twitch, summation or tetanus. A twitch contraction is the period of contraction and relaxation of a muscle after a single stimulation. Summation is the occurrence of additional twitch contractions before the previous twitch has completely relaxed. Summation can be achieved by increasing the frequency of stimulation, or by recruiting additional muscle fibers within a muscle. Tetanus occurs when the frequency of muscle contraction is such that the maximal force is tension is generated without any relaxation of the muscle. Key Termstetanus: When the frequency of muscle contraction is such that the maximal force is tension is generated without any relaxation of the muscle.summation: The occurrence of additional twitch contractions before the previous twitch has completely relaxed.twitch: The period of contraction and relaxation of a muscle after a single stimulation. Skeletal muscle contractions can be grouped based on the length and frequency of contraction. Twitch When stimulated by a single action potential a muscle contracts and then relaxes. The time between the stimulus and the initiation of contraction is termed the latent period, which is followed by the contraction period."

The workhorse for this complex is the rotator cuff tendons. Due to generalized use, overuse, or injuries, these tendons are susceptible to damage. Muscles The subscapularis originates from the anterior, or front, portion of the shoulder. It stabilizes the shoulder and provides internal rotation (follow through of a throwing motion). The supraspinatus originates from the superior, or top, aspect of the back portion of the scapula, or shoulder blade.

"text": "\"Overhand throwing places extremely high stresses on the shoulder, specifically to the anatomy that keeps the shoulder stable. In throwing athletes, these high stresses are repeated many times and can lead to a wide range of overuse injuries. Although throwing injuries in the shoulder most commonly occur in baseball pitchers, they can be seen in any athlete who participates in sports that require repetitive overhand motions, such as volleyball, tennis, and some track and field events. Anatomy Your shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of your upper arm bone fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade. This socket is called the glenoid. Surrounding the outside edge of the glenoid is a rim of strong, fibrous tissue called the labrum. The labrum helps to deepen the socket and stabilize the shoulder joint. It also serves as an attachment point for many of the ligaments of the shoulder, as well as one of the tendons from the biceps muscle in the arm. Strong connective tissue, called the shoulder capsule, is the ligament system of the shoulder and keeps the head of the upper arm bone centered in the glenoid socket."

The foot and ankle are generally discussed by breaking them into several anatomical regions. The ankle joint, which is the distal aspect of the tibia and the fibula articulating with the talus, is the most proximal joint. The foot is divided into the rearfoot, the midfoot and the forefoot structures. Distal Tibia and Fibula The proximal ends of the tibia and fibula were discussed in Unit VII. The distal ends of these two bones form the cornerstones of the ankle joint. The distal tibia has a medial malleolus that forms the interior bump you feel on the inner surface of the ankle. The distal fibula has a longer more pointed bony structure called the lateral malleolus and is the bump you can feel on the exterior surface of the ankle. Both of these bones have articular surfaces that articulate with the talus to form the mortise joint of the ankle. When these two bones are in anatomical alignment they form a mostly square joint space at their distal aspects."

"text": "Shoulder Anatomy The shoulder is one of the most sophisticated and complicated joints of the body: It has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body allowing complete global movement allowing you to position the hand anywhere in space. The coordinated activity of numerous muscles working together in set patterns is required to produce this motion It is made up of FOUR joints and FIVE linked bone groups which are related and work together. To allow so much movement the joints need to be ‘free’ to move, therefore the shoulder should be unstable; However a series of complex ligaments and muscle keep it in joint. Because the shoulder is such a unique joint it is also prone to unique and complex problems. In fact it would be more correct to call it the SHOULDER COMPLEX. This section will hopefully explain some of the terminology you might hear and relate this to disorders of the shoulder complex. Understanding how the different layers of the shoulder are built and connected can help you understand how the shoulder works and is affected by injury and overuse. The deepest layer includes the bones and the joints of the shoulder. The next layer is made up of the ligaments of the joints. The tendons and the muscles come next."

In the horse, lateral and medial movements of this joint are impossible due to the shape of the humeral head; movement is therefore limited to flexion and extension. The joint is strengthened by the medial and lateral glenohumeral ligaments. There is also an additional coracohumeral ligament between the supraglenoid tubercle and the greater tubercle of the humerus . In the horse, there is no sheath surrounding the bicipital tendon; instead there is an intertubercular bursa. This bursa lies between the humeral tubercles, cushioning the bicipital tendon, but does not communicate with the cavity of the shoulder joint. The bursa and tendon are held in place by the transverse humeral retinaculum, running between the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus . Elbow Joint The elbow joint is the articulation between the humeral condyle, trochlear notch of the ulna and the radial head. The joint capsule attaches to the articular surface of the condyle, the periphery of the olecranon fossa and the articular cartilage of the trochlear notch of the ulna."

"text": "\"Orthopedics Shoulder & Elbow Biceps Tendon Rupture Types and Treatment By Jonathan Cluett, MD, a board-certified physician Updated September 27, 2017Share Pin Email Print Jeannot Olivet / Getty Images Tendon tears or ruptures are often painful and frightening injuries. Typically occurring in middle age, these injuries can also happen to younger and elderly individuals. The most common injury occurs when lifting or pulling on a heavy object, particularly when something slips or starts to fall. Most often, a snap or pop is both felt and heard, and pain occurs around the shoulder or elbow, depending on which part of the biceps tendon is torn. Making the diagnosis of a torn biceps tendon is typically straightforward, but the decision for how to best treat these injuries may be more complicated. Deciding if surgery is necessary, or even helpful, may be more complicated, and the ideal treatment may not be the same for everyone. The Biceps Tendon and Muscle The biceps tendon is the structure that connects the biceps muscle to the bone. The biceps muscle helps bend the elbow joint, but it also has other functions. It is important in the motion called supination of the forearm. This is the motion of turning the palm facing upwards such as opening a doorknob or turning a screwdriver."

For this reason, they are often grouped together as the musculo-skeletal system. Muscle is attached to bone by tendons and other tissues, and exerts force by converting chemical energy into tension and contraction. Skeletal muscles which cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract to pull them together. Our bodily needs demand that muscles accomplish different chores, so we are equipped with three types of muscles. Cardiac muscle, found only in the heart, powers the action that pumps blood throughout the body. Its big features are endurance and consistency. Smooth muscle surrounds or is part of the internal organs. Smooth muscle is found in the digestive system, blood vessels, bladder, airways and, in a female, the uterus. It has the ability to stretch and maintain tension for long periods of time."

In humans, the digestive system consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. The digestive tube made up by these organs is known as the alimentary canal. Several glands—salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas—also play a part in digestion. These glands secrete digestive juices containing enzymes that break down the food chemically into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed by the body. The digestive system also separates and disposes of waste products ingested with the food. Ingestion Food taken into the mouth is first broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. The tongue then rolls these pieces into balls called boluses. Together, the sensations of sight, taste, and smell of the food cause the salivary glands, located in the mouth, to produce saliva. An enzyme in the saliva called amylase begins the breakdown of carbohydrates (starch) into simple sugars."

Ingestion is simply taking food into the digestive tract, usually via the mouth.5Propulsionwhich moves food through the alimentary canal, includes swallowing, which is initiated voluntarily, and peristalsis an involuntary process. Peristalsis (peri = around; stalsis = constriction), the major means of propulsion, involves alternate waves of contraction and relaxation of muscles in the organ walls. Its main effect is to squeeze food along the tract, but some mixing occurs as well. In fact, peristaltic waves are so powerful that, once swallowed, food and fluids will reach your stomach even if you stand on your head.6Mechanical digestionphysically prepares food for chemical digestion by enzymes. Mechanical processes include chewing, mixing of food with saliva by the tongue, churning food in the stomach, and segmentation, or rhythmic local constrictions of the small intestine (Figure 23.3b).7Segmentationmixes food with digestive juices and increases the efficiency of absorption by repeatedly moving different parts of the food mass over the intestinal wall.8Chemical digestionis a series of catabolic steps in which complex food molecules are broken down to their chemical building blocks by enzymes secreted into the lumen of the alimentary canal. Chemical digestion of foodstuffs begins in the mouth and is essentially complete in the small intestine.9Absorptionis the passage of digested end products (plus vitamins, minerals, and water) from the lumen of the GI tract through the mucosal cells by active or passive transport into the blood or lymph.

The alimentary canal, which is also called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or gut, is the entire length of tube that winds through the body from the mouth to the anus. It digests, breaks down and absorbs food through its lining into the blood. Organs within the alimentary canal include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The alimentary canal is considered outside of the body because it is open to the external environment at each end (mouth, anus). The accessory digestive organs include the tongue, teeth, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas. While the teeth and tongue lie within the mouth, the digestive glands and gallbladder actually lie outside of the GI tract and connect to it through pathways called ducts. The digestive glands aid in mechanical breakdown of food by producing several types of secretions.

The wall of the alimentary canal has four main tissue layers mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa ( Figure 14.2 ). The serosa (visceral peritoneum) is continuous with the parietal peritoneum, which lines the abdominal cavity wall. Organs of the alimentary canal: The mouth or oral cavity contains teeth and tongue and is bounded by lips, cheeks, and palate. Tonsils guard its posterior margin. The pharynx is a muscular tube that provides a passageway for food and air. The esophagus is a muscular tube that completes the passageway from the pharynx to the stomach. The stomach is a C-shaped organ located on the left side of the abdomen beneath the diaphragm ( Figure 14.3 ). Food enters it through the cardio-esophageal sphincter and leaves it to enter the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter. The stomach has a third oblique layer of muscle in its wall that allows it to perform mixing or churning movements."

Some nutrients serve as raw materials for the synthesis of cellular material; others (e.g., many vitamins) act as regulators of chemical reactions; and still others, upon oxidation, yield energy. Not all nutrients, however, are in a form suitable for immediate use by an organism; some must undergo physical and chemical changes before they can serve as energy or cell substance. Through the act of eating, or ingestion, nutrients are taken from the environment. Many nutrient molecules are so large and complex that they must be split into smaller molecules before they can be used by the organism. This process of breaking down food into molecular particles of usable size and content is called digestion. Unusable components are expelled from the organism by a process called egestion, or excretion."

It consists of a long tube called the gastrointestinal tract or GI tract (alimentary canal) and several accessory organs. The major components of the GI tract are the mouth, pharynx , esophagus , stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The major accessory organs are the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Mastication and Swallowing Ingestion (the intake of food) occurs in the mouth where food is chewed and mixed with saliva. The teeth have different shapes to perform different tasks; the incisors (chisel-shaped anterior teeth) are used to cut into food, the canines (pointed teeth located lateral to the incisors) are used to tear or pierce food, and the premolars and molars (having broad surfaces) are used for crushing and grinding food. Chewing (mastication) of food is accompanied by mixing of the food with saliva. The mouth is normally kept moist by the continual production of small quantities of saliva by numerous tiny intrinsic salivary glands located in the inner lining of the mouth. During chewing, much greater quantities of saliva are secreted by three pairs of extrinsic salivary glands, namely the parotid glands (located under the skin anterior to each earlobe), the submandibular glands (located under the base of the tongue), and the sublingual glands (located in the floor of the mouth). Saliva is a watery fluid containing several components including lysozyme, an enzyme that kills bacteria, and salivary amylase, an enzyme that begins the digestion of starch."

A: Quick Answer Food begins its journey through the digestive system in the mouth, before being pushed by a series of involuntary muscle contractions through the esophagus, then the stomach, and then the small and large intestines. The digestive system is essentially a series of long, hollow organs lined with muscles that contract in a rhythmic pattern, known as peristalsis, to keep food moving in the correct direction.

Credit: BSIP/UIG Universal Images Group Getty Images Full Answer The mouth is considered the first part of the digestive system because food is physically broken down there by chewing. Saliva also mixes with the food, starting the chemical digestion process that breaks larger molecules into small ones that the body can absorb. Once food is chewed and mixed with saliva, the tongue pushes food into the esophagus. This is the only voluntary muscle contraction in the digestive process."

Although the small intestine is the workhorse of the system, where the majority of digestion occurs, and where most of the released nutrients are absorbed into the blood or lymph, each of the digestive system organs makes a vital contribution to this process ( Figure 1 ). Figure 1. Components of the Digestive System. All digestive organs play integral roles in the life-sustaining process of digestion. As is the case with all body systems, the digestive system does not work in isolation; it functions cooperatively with the other systems of the body. Consider for example, the interrelationship between the digestive and cardiovascular systems. Arteries supply the digestive organs with oxygen and processed nutrients, and veins drain the digestive tract. These intestinal veins, constituting the hepatic portal system, are unique; they do not return blood directly to the heart."

Most people would say the heart or the brain, completely overlooking the gastrointestinal tract ( GI tract ). Though definitely not the most attractive organs in the body, they are certainly among the most important. The 30+ foot long tube that goes from the mouth to the anus is responsible for the many different body functions which will be reviewed in this chapter. The GI tract is imperative for our well being and our lifelong health. A non-functioning or poorly functioning GI tract can be the source of many chronic health problems that can interfere with your quality of life. In many instances the death of a person begins in the intestines. The old saying \"\"you are what you eat\"\" perhaps would be more accurate if worded \"\"you are what you absorb and digest\"\". Here we will be looking at the importance of these two functions of the digestive system: digestion and absorption. The Gastrointestinal System is responsible for the breakdown and absorption of various foods and liquids needed to sustain life."

Purpose Skeletal muscle diseases increase the aldolase level found in a person's blood. Skeletalmuscles are those muscles attached to bones and whose contractions make those bones move. When the muscles are diseased or damaged, such as in muscular dystrophy, the cellsdeteriorate and break open. The contents of the cells, including aldolase, spill into thebloodstream.

Some forms of MD are seen in infancy or childhood, while others may not appear until middle age or later. The disorders differ in terms of the distribution and extent of muscle weakness (some forms of MD also affect cardiac muscle), age of onset, rate of progression, and pattern of inheritance. Duchenne MD is the most common form of MD and primarily affects boys. It is caused by the absence of dystrophin, a protein involved in maintaining the integrity of muscle.

( June 19 issue), 1 during long-term follow-up of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1, 81 of 406 patients died and one third of the deaths were sudden. How many of these deaths were really due to arrhythmia? Arrhythmia was found to be the cause of death in only 9 patients; in the other 18, data on rhythm were not available or were not decisive, and no data from autopsy are provided. The major cause of death in the population studied is neuromuscular respiratory failure, and weakness of the respiratory muscles may be detected even in patients with minimal signs of muscular disability. 2 This raises the question of the clinical relevance of respiratory failure in this population of patients who had different degrees of muscular impairment and died suddenly. Myotonic dystrophy is a complex, progressive, multisystem disease, and the cause of death may be difficult to establish definitively. Close follow-up, with regular noninvasive and invasive cardiac evaluation and adequate assessment of neuromuscular and respiratory status, is necessary to better understand the true causes of “sudden” deaths. 3-5Antonio Dello Russo, M.

The online-only version of this article offers more detailed information on additional selected causes of muscle weakness. Muscle weakness is a common complaint among patients presenting to family physicians. Diagnosis begins with a patient history distinguishing weakness from fatigue or asthenia, separate conditions with different etiologies that can coexist with, or be confused for, weakness. The pattern and severity of weakness, associated symptoms, medication use, and family history help the physician determine whether the cause of a patient’s weakness is infectious, neurologic, endocrine, inflammatory, rheumatologic, genetic, metabolic, electrolyte-induced, or drug-induced. In the physical examination, the physician should objectively document the patient’s loss of strength, conduct a neurologic survey, and search for patterns of weakness and extramuscular involvement. If a specific cause of weakness is suspected, the appropriate laboratory or radiologic studies should be performed. Otherwise, electromyography is indicated to confirm the presence of a myopathy or to evaluate for a neuropathy or a disease of the neuromuscular junction. If the diagnosis remains unclear, the examiner should pursue a tiered progression of laboratory studies."

The two most common types of muscular dystrophy include Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy. The only difference between the two diseases are that the symptoms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy develop earlier in life and progresses more quickly than they do in Becker muscular dystrophy, which begins about age seven. There are also many muscular diseases that are very similar to muscular dystrophy. General symptoms of muscular dystrophy include muscle weakness and muscle wasting."

Abnormalities of muscle cell structure and metabolism lead to various patterns of weakness and dysfunction. In some cases, the pathology extends to involve cardiac muscle fibers, resulting in a hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy. Back to Top Pathophysiology Disruption of the structural integrity and metabolic processes of muscle cells can result from genetic abnormalities, toxins, inflammation, infection, and hormonal and electrolyte imbalances. Back to Top Classification Myopathies may be divided into two main categories: inherited and acquired. The temporal course, the pattern of muscle weakness, and the absence or presence of a family history of myopathy help distinguish between the two types. An early age of onset with a relatively longer duration of disease suggests an inherited myopathy, and a sudden or subacute presentation at a later age is more consistent with an acquired myopathy. Inherited myopathies can be further subclassified as muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, mitochondrial myopathies, and metabolic myopathies. Acquired myopathies can be subclassified as inflammatory myopathies, toxic myopathies, and myopathies associated with systemic conditions. The more commonly seen inherited and acquired myopathies are listed in Box 1."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy refers to a group of disorders that cause weakness and wasting of the muscles around the shoulders and hips. Signs and symptoms All patients have a history of progressive, symmetric proximal muscle weakness that usually starts in childhood to young adulthood. Pelvic muscle weakness is most often the first symptom. Other symptoms may include the following: Asymmetric or distal weakness (rare)Respiratory failure Cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmias Scapular winging Calf hypertrophy Contractures/rigid spine See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis Muscle biopsy and genetic testing are the most important tools used in the diagnostic evaluation of patients in whom limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is suspected. Creatine kinase is also used for diagnosis because autosomal recessive LGMDs often cause extremely high CK levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help differentiate forms of LGMD. See Workup for more detail. Management No specific treatment is available for any of the LGMD syndromes, though aggressive supportive care is essential to preserve muscle function, maximize functional ability, and prolong life expectancy. Aggressive use of passive stretching, bracing, and orthopedic procedures allow the patient to remain independent for as long as possible."

Support of these efforts makes good sense. What is muscular dystrophy? The muscular dystrophies are a group of illnesses that share several things in common. They are all, first and foremost, muscle diseases as opposed to brain or nerve diseases. They all involve the death of individual muscle fibers. They are all hereditary conditions. And they all progress over time (as opposed to cerebral palsy, which doesn’t get worse or better). Who gets muscular dystrophy?"

"text": "What is muscular dystrophy? Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of genetic diseases described by progressive dysfunction and/or weakness of skeletal muscles. Various structural and regulatory proteins are needed to maintain the integrity and proper function of the muscle. Pathologic mutations of the genes involved in synthesis and regulation of these proteins lead to disruption in the normal structure and function of the muscle tissue. Progressive muscle tissue damage causes weakness and sometimes loss of muscle bulk or replacement of normal muscle structure by fat or scar tissue. MDs are categorized based on the culprit gene (s), inheritance pattern, clinical presentation and muscle biopsy features: Dystrophinopathies, which include Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies Myotonic dystrophies Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD)Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy Congenital muscular dystrophies Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy MDs can affect people of all ages. Although some forms first become apparent in infancy or childhood, others may not appear until middle age or later. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common form affecting children. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is the most common form affecting adults. Mutations can develop “de novo” and lack of family history of MD does not rule out the possibility of muscular dystrophies."

It’s a group of disorders affecting voluntary muscles, mainly those around the hips and shoulders — the pelvic and shoulder girdles, also known as the limb girdles. You also may hear the term proximal used to describe the muscles that are most affected in LGMD. The proximal muscles are those closest to the center of the body; distal muscles are farther away from the center (for example, in the hands and feet). The distal muscles are affected late in LGMD, if at all. Over time (usually many years), the person with LGMD loses muscle bulk and strength. Eventually, he may need a power wheelchair or scooter, especially for long distances. LGMD can begin in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood or even later."

"text": "Aldolase Test Definition Aldolase is an enzyme found throughout the body, particularly in muscles. Like all enzymes, it is needed to trigger specific chemical reactions. Aldolase helps muscle turn sugar into energy. Testing for aldolase is done to diagnose and monitor skeletal muscle diseases. Purpose Skeletal muscle diseases increase the aldolase level found in a person's blood. Skeletal muscles are those muscles attached to bones and whose contractions make those bones move. When the muscles are diseased or damaged, such as in muscular dystrophy, the cells deteriorate and break open. The contents of the cells, including aldolase, spill into the bloodstream. Measuring the amount of aldolase in the blood indicates the degree of muscle damage. As muscles continue to deteriorate, aldolase levels decrease and eventually fall below normal."

DMD causes progressive weakness and loss (atrophy) of skeletal and heart muscles. [ 1] Early signs of DMD may include delayed ability to sit, stand, or walk and difficulties learning to speak. Muscle weakness is usually noticeable by 3 or 4 years of age and begins in the hips, pelvic area, upper legs, and shoulders. The calves may be enlarged. Children with DMD may have an unusual walk and difficulty running, climbing stairs, and getting up from the floor. [ 2] DMD may also affect learning and memory, as well as communication and certain social emotional skills. [ 3] Muscle weakness worsens with age and progresses to the arms, legs and trunk. Most children with DMD use a wheelchair full time by age 13. Heart and respiratory muscle problems begin in the teen years and lead to serious, life threatening complications. ["

The film is three hours long [5] and was originally presented in two parts separated by an intermission; it was the first 12- reel film in the United States. The film chronicles the relationship of two families in the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era over the course of several years: the pro- Union Northern Stonemans and the pro- Confederacy Southern Camerons. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth is dramatized. The film was a commercial success, though it was highly controversial for its portrayal of black men (many played by white actors in blackface) as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and the portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force.

The NAACP was created in 1909 by an interracial group consisting of W. E. B. Du Bois, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett, Mary White Ovington, and others concerned with the challenges facing African Americans, especially in the wake of the 1908 Springfield (Illinois) Race Riot. Some of the founding members had been associated with the Niagara Movement, a civil rights group led by Du Bois. Many of the NAACP’s actions have focused on national issues; for example, the group helped persuade President Woodrow Wilson to denounce lynching in 1918. Other areas of activism have involved political action to secure enactment of civil rights laws, programs of education and public information to win popular support, and direct action to achieve specific goals. In 1939 the NAACP established as an independent legal arm for the civil rights movement the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, which litigated to the Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the case that resulted in the high court’s landmark 1954 school-desegregation decision. The organization had also won a significant victory in 1946, with Morgan v.

Hynes Introduction William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, to his admirers, was by spirited devotion and scholarly dedication, an attacker of injustice and a defender of freedom. A harbinger of Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism, he died in self-imposed exile in his home away from home with his ancestors of a glorious past Africa. Labeled as a \"\"radical,\"\" he was ignored by those who hoped that his massive contributions would be buried along side of him. But, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, \"\"history cannot ignore W. E. B. Du Bois because history has to reflect truth and Dr. Du Bois was a tireless explorer and a gifted discoverer of social truths. His singular greatness lay in his quest for truth about his own people. There were very few scholars who concerned themselves with honest study of the black man and he sought to fill this immense void. The degree to which he succeeded disclosed the great dimensions of the man. \"\" His Formative Years W. E. B. Du Bois was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. At that time Great Barrington had perhaps 25, but not more than 50, Black people out of a population of about 5,000. Consequently, there were little signs of overt racism there."

It is located north of the Hatchie River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, which originally served as the main transportation routes to markets for cotton. The town is notable for its many well-preserved antebellum homes owned by wealthy planters before the Civil War, and multi-generational family-owned farms. The Tabernacle Campground was founded in 1826 by the Rev. Howell Taylor, soon after Brownsville was founded. In the 21st century, it serves as the site of an annual \"\"camp-meeting\"\" for descendants of Taylor. Brownsville's synagogue, Temple Adas Israel, was built in 1882 by German Jewish immigrants, who founded the congregation in the 1860s."

New York: NAACP, March, 1960. Pamphlet. NAACP Records, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress (107.00.00) Courtesy of the NAACPThe NAACP’s legal strategy against segregated education culminated in the 1954 Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. African Americans gained the formal, if not the practical, right to study alongside their white peers in primary and secondary schools. The decision fueled an intransigent, violent resistance during which Southern states used a variety of tactics to evade the law. In the summer of 1955, a surge of anti-black violence included the kidnapping and brutal murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till, a crime that provoked widespread and assertive protests from black and white Americans. By December 1955, the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, Jr., began a protracted campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience to protest segregation that attracted national and international attention. During 1956, a group of Southern senators and congressmen signed the “Southern Manifesto,” vowing resistance to racial integration by all “lawful means.” Resistance heightened in 1957–1958 during the crisis over integration at Little Rock’s Central High School."

New York World-Telegram & Sun Collection, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress (98)The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and its legal offspring, the Legal Defense and Educational Fund, developed a systematic attack against the doctrine of “separate but equal.” The campaign started at the graduate and professional educational levels. The attack culminated in five separate cases gathered together under the name of one of them— Oliver Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Aware of the gravity of the issue and concerned with the possible political and social repercussions, the U. S. Supreme Court heard the case argued on three separate occasions in as many years. The Court weighed carefully considerations involving adherence to legal precedent, social-science findings on the negative effects of segregation, and the marked inferiority of the schools that African Americans were forced to attend. The Supreme Court announced its unanimous decision on May 17, 1954. It held that school segregation violated the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. The following year the Court ordered desegregation “with all deliberate speed."

The NAACP also pursued voting rights and worked to dismantle various forms of segregation through the courts. Painstakingly, one case at a time, one law at a time, they confronted the racial inequities in the legal system. The Library's extensive civil rights collections document the efforts during this period on the part of blacks and whites to erase the legacy of slavery. African American artists, actors, and writers led the battle against intellectual and artistic bias. Between the wars, and even during the deprivations of the Great Depression, there was a great crescendo of African American artistic expression in the period known as the \"\"Harlem Renaissance.\"\" Paintings, drawings, classical music, jazz, blues, poetry, novels, plays, and dance abounded during this era and won world acclaim."

The NAACP consists of different departments that are concerned with various aspects of minority rights such as legal, education and employment. The NAACP was created by a group of white people inspired by W. E. B. De Bois and the Niagara Movement. W. E. B. De Bois was the first black person in the United States to earn a doctorate degree from Harvard. De Bois had a book, The Souls of Black Folk, published in 1903 and led an anti-segregation movement that was called the Niagara Movement. The Niagara Movement started because not one American hotel would allow the group of black men to register, so they stayed on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

The compound is a dinucleotide, because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adeninebase and the other nicotinamide. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide exists in two forms: an oxidized and reduced form abbreviated as NAD + and NADH respectively. In metabolism, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is involved in redox reactions, carrying electrons from one reaction to another. The coenzyme is, therefore, found in two forms in cells: NAD + is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced. This reaction forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD. However, it is also used in other cellular processes, most notably a substrate of enzymes that add or remove chemical groups from proteins, in posttranslational modifications."

ART FOR SCIENCE / Getty Images Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) Definition The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, is a series of chemical reactions in the cell that breaks down food molecules into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. In plants and animals (eukaryotes), these reactions take place in the matrix of the mitochondria of the cell as part of cellular respiration. Many bacteria perform the citric acid cycle too, though they do not have mitochondria so the reactions take place in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells. In bacteria (prokaryotes), the plasma membrane of the cell is used to provide the proton gradient to produce ATP. Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, a British biochemist, is credited with discovering the cycle. Sir Krebs outlined the steps of the cycle in 1937. For this reason, it may be called the Krebs cycle. It's also known as the citric acid cycle, for the molecule that is consumed and then regenerated."

This is according the definition: Reduction is gain of electrons or gain of H Oxidation is loss of electrons or loss of HFollow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The equation does not in any way imply that NAD+ is oxidized. Take a good look at this equation: (NAD+) + (2e-) + (2H+) -----> (NADH) + (H+) In this reaction, 2 electrons and ONE hydrogen is transferred to NAD+, forming NADH. Hence, NAD+ becomes reduced as it accepts 2 electrons and one hydrogen atom. The remaining H+ is released into the surrounding solution.

Most biochemical reactions require protein catalysts (enzymes). Some enzymes, lysozyme or trypsin, for example, catalyze reactions by themselves, but many require helper substances such as coenzymes, metal ions, and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Niacin is a component of two coenzymes: NAD, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD + (the oxidized form of the NAD coenzyme) is important in catabolism and in the production of metabolic energy. NADP + (the oxidized form of NADP) is important in the biosynthesis of fats and sugars. Hans von Euler is generally recognized as the first to establish the chemical structure of NAD (Metzler, p. 468). Von Euler and Arthur Harden shared the 1929 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for the discovery of coenzymes (including NAD). Later von Euler showed that NAD contains two units of the sugar ribose, two phosphate groups, one adenine unit, and Figure 1a. Structure of NAD+one nicotinamide unit (derived from niacin). ("

"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)."

In this lesson, you will see how NAD and FAD are used as electron carriers to temporarily store energy during cellular respiration. Chemical Reaction for Cellular Respiration We have learned previously that energy production is an extremely important cellular task. Failure to produce enough energy in the form of ATP can result in fatigue, among other things. It's the difference in being the runner whose body is still performing at a high level and the runner who's gassed. Let's explore how our cells try to keep our bodies from running out of energy by learning about the chemical reactions that contribute to making ATP. Cellular respiration is a biological process in which organic compounds are converted into energy. During cellular respiration, oxygen reacts with an organic compound to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. This seems like a pretty generalized formula for chemical reactions, so let's see if we can make it a little more specific and chemical-like. Organic compound + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy The sugar glucose is the main fuel source for cellular respiration."

H-lactate dehydrogenase (H-LDH) catalyzes the interconversion of D-lactate and ferricytochrome c to pyruvate and ferrocytochrome c. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an important enzyme in humans. It occurs in different regions of the body, each region having a unique conformation of different subunits. LDH is a key enzyme in anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic Respiration is the conversion of pyruvate into lactate acid in the absence oxygen. This pathway is important to glycolysis in two main ways. The first is that if pyruvate were to build up glycoysis and thus the generation of ATP would slow. The second is anaerobic respiration allows for the regeneration of NAD+ from NADH. NAD+ is required when glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase oxidizes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in glycolysis, which generates NADH. Lactate dehydrogenase is responsible for the anaerobic conversion of NADH to NAD+."

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

"text": "\"Cellular respiration Cellular respiration is, in its broadest definition, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy -rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The overall equation for the oxidation of glucose is: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + energy Cellular Respiration In cellular respiration, this oxidation process is broken down into two basic metabolic pathways: glycolysis, anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration. [ edit]Glycolysis Main article: Glycolysis Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that is found in all living organisms and does not require oxygen. The process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, and makes energy in the form of two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The overall reaction can be expressed this way: Glucose + 2 NAD + + 2 ATP + 2 P i → 2 NADH + 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 H 2 O + 4 H +The individual steps of the conversion of glucose into pyruvate are (in brief): A glucose molecule from the hydrolysation of starch or glycogen is phosphorylated using one ATP molecule to give glucose-6-phosphate. The glucose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose-6-phosphate by isomerisation. Fructose-6-phosphate is again phosphorylated to give fructose-1,6-diphosphate with the use of another ATP molecule. Next, the fructose-1,6-diphosphate is then lysed into two molecules of 3-carbon sugar (dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) which are interconvertible."

Create a free account Maybe later Sort How do fermentation and anaerobic respiration enable cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen? Because most of the ATP generated by cellular respiration is due to the work of oxidative phosphorylation, our estimate of ATP yield from aerobic respiration is contingent on an adequate supply of oxygen to the cell. Without electronegative oxygen to pull electrons down the transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation eventually ceases. However, there are two general mechanisms by which certain cells can oxidize organic fuel and generate ATP without the use of oxygen: Anaerobic respiration and fermentation. The distinction between these two is that an electron transport chain is used in anaerobic respiration but not in fermentation. ( The electron transport chain is also called the respiratory chain because of its role in both types of cellular respiration. ) Where does anaerobic respiration take place? Anaerobic respiration, takes place in certain prokaryotic organisms (yeast?)"

This happens in the breakdown of Acetyl Co A in the Krebs Cycle (aka the citric acid cycle) inside the second membrane of the mitochondria. NADH and FADH2 will carry and donate the electrons to the Electron Transport Chain on the internal membrane; the transfer of the electron's energy allows for the proteins crossing the membrane to pump hydrogen ions into the space between the two membranes and build up a gradient for chemiosmosis.

These processes are the basis of life, allowing cells to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed into another by a sequence of enzymes. Enzymes allow the regulation of metabolic pathways in response to changes in the cell's environment or signals from other cells. Catabolic reactions release energy, usually by the breakdown of larger organic molecules into smaller molecules. The catabolic reactions that break down glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids serve as the primary sources of energy for the synthesis of ATP. this means that some of the chemical-bond energy in glucose is transferred to the chemical bond energy in ATP. Since energy transfers can never be 100% efficient, some of the chemical-bond energy from glucose is lost as heat."

Following Lord Carnarvon 's successful introduction of federation in Canada, it was thought that similar political effort, coupled with military campaigns, might succeed with the African kingdoms, tribal areas and Boer republics in South Africa. In 1874, Sir Henry Bartle Frere was sent to South Africa as High Commissioner for the British Empire to bring such plans into being. Among the obstacles were the presence of the independent states of the South African Republic and the Kingdom of Zululand and its army. [ 3]Frere, on his own initiative, without the approval of the British government [4] [d] and with the intent of instigating a war with the Zulu, had presented an ultimatum on 11 December 1878, to the Zulu king Cetshwayo with which the Zulu king could not comply, including disbanding his army and abandoning key cultural traditions. [ 5] [e] Bartle Frere then sent Lord Chelmsford to invade Zululand after this ultimatum was not met. [ 6] The war is notable for several particularly bloody battles, including an opening victory of the Zulu at the Battle of Isandlwana, followed by the defeat of a large Zulu army at Rorke's Drift by a small force of British troops. The war eventually resulted in a British victory and the end of the Zulu nation's dominance of the region."

How about Buller Street or Pepper Sauce Road? Here are 10 of the strangest names we've spotted along the roads of Trinidad and Tobago:1. Pregnancy Lane/Horner Man Lane, Diego Martin These famous (or infamous?) streets in Diego Martin have a sordid history. It is alleged that Hornerman Lane, formerly Trumpet Lane, was so named because the men from that street allegedly wandered over to Pregnancy Lane, formerly Wilson Lane, when the husbands on that street left for work. The name stuck after eight women allegedly became pregnant around the same time about 30 years ago.2. Buller Street, Port of Spain Contrary to some dirty minds, Buller Street is actually named after General Sir Redvers Henry Buller, a British Army officer who was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest award for British and Commonwealth forces. He served as Commander-in-Chief of British forces in South Africa during the early months of the Second Boer War and subsequently commanded the army in Natal until his return to England in November 1900.

"text": "\"Mutiny and resistance in the Royal Navy, 1918-1930 - Dave Lamb A short history of mutinies and rebellions in the British Royal Navy and Marines from the end of World War I, Russian Revolution and up until 1930. Whilst the mutinies in the German and French Navies in the First World War have been well documented little information is available concerning the British Royal Navy. There was, however, considerable talk of mutiny at Portsmouth, in the summer of 1918. The threat was serious enough for Lionel Yexley, an admiralty agent, [1] to write a report warning the Admiralty of impending trouble. This was only averted by immediate improvements in pay and conditions. Demands for 'lower deck' organisation were taken seriously. Agitation for trade union representation was spreading throughout the Navy. The material conditions of the sailors certainly justified a mutiny. Between 1852 and 1917 there had only been one pay increase, amounting to a penny a day, in 1912. Wartime inflation had reduced the sailors' nineteen pence a day to a mere pittance."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A German artillery barrage falling on Allied trenches at Ypres, probably during the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915, during the First World War. A barrage is massed artillery fire aimed at points, typically 20–30 yards (18–27 m) apart, along one or more lines that can be from a few hundred to several thousand yards long. The lines are usually 100 yards (91 m) apart and fire is lifted from one line to the next and one or several lines may be simultaneously engaged by different firing units. The artillery usually fires at a continuous steady rate, using high explosive or, historically, shrapnel shells. A barrage might be from a few or many batteries, or even (rarely) from a single gun. Barrage fire may be defensive to deny or hamper enemy passage through an area or offensive to provide covering fire that neutralises the enemy in an area through or towards which friendly forces are advancing. Defensive barrages are usually static (or standing or box ). Offensive barrages move forward in front of the advancing troops, the pattern of barrage movement may be creeping, rolling or block. Barrage fire is not aimed at specific targets, it is aimed at areas in which there are known or expected targets. It contrasts with a concentration, in which the guns aim at a specific target in an area typically 150–250 metres (160–270 yd) diameter."

Railfans often combine their interest with other hobbies, especially photography and videography, radio scanning, model railroading, studying railroad history and participating in railway station and rolling stock preservation efforts.

"text": "\"Watch Edit Page Related Discussion History More Share Rail Enthusiast Main Create New Some American Rail Enthusiasts in their natural habitat\"\"I like trains. \"\"— \"\" I Like Trains\"\" Kid, asdfmovie Someone obsessed with trains and railways, sometimes to an unhealthy, otaku-like degree. This is a type especially common in British and Japanese fictional works, which makes sense since both nations in real life have a high population of such enthusiasts. The United States and Germany have a lot of such enthusiasts as well, as do most other European nations, but generally with fewer depictions in popular media. In Britain, the most popular depiction is the trainspotter, whose railway obsession revolves around hunting down each and every locomotive—and, sometimes, other rail equipment—and marking down each one they've seen in a little book listing all such equipment existing. In the field, they may use a paper notebook instead of their master stock book, and modern technology means they may now make their notes using a voice recorder and keep their master list as a computer database. Being a trainspotter involves lots of standing around in the cold and wet on station platforms waiting for that elusive quarry; this made the waterproof coats that they generally wear, the \"\"anorak\"\", become a symbol of the trainspotter. The word \"\"anorak\"\" itself has become a generic term, in fact, used to refer to the obsessively geeky in other fields as well. Trainspotters are generally depicted with most of the nerd/geek stereotypes—thick glasses, bad hair, no fashion sense, and frequently physically unattractive and socially awkward. Interestingly, interest in things like trains is a common symptom of being on the autistic spectrum."

The purpose-built 53-acre facility and road handling course will be one of only five such sites in the world, including the original Porsche Experience Center at the legendary Silverstone Circuit in Great Britain and Centers in Leipzig, Germany and Shanghai, China. In May, Porsche announced North America's first Porsche Experience Center, to be built as part of the company's new U. S. headquarters complex in Atlanta, Georgia. The new West Coast location will be situated near the intersection of two major Los Angeles area traffic arteries, the 405 and 110 Freeways, and is just minutes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Southern California is one of the largest Porsche markets in the United States. Groundbreaking is anticipated for summer 2012. \"\" Helping enthusiasts feel and connect with their vehicle's full potential through intelligent engineering has always been a part of the Porsche philosophy,\"\" said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. \"\" Now, we are excited to turn dreams into reality for all driving enthusiasts by creating a safe, exhilarating environment for experiencing the pleasure of being in the driver's seat. \"\" Given the Porsche Experience Center's extensive lineup of facilities and programs, finding the perfect mix of education and enjoyment won't be difficult, no matter the individual's skill or interest level.

Japan’s most popular ball club, the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants, often attracts large crowds. The Giants won nine straight Japan Series championships between1965-1973 as Japan was becoming an economic super power, so many fans consider a Yomiuri championship a symbol of financial success. The Giants play most of their home games at Tokyo Dome which seats more than 45,000 and is located in Central Tokyo. The team is owned by a media company with a variety of television and radio stations, along with newspapers. The Tokyo Yakult Swallows, also in Central Tokyo, have an enthusiastic group of fans who turn up regularly at Jingu Stadium, Tokyo’s oldest and most traditional ballpark. The Swallows fans’ trademark is a small, green vinyl umbrella which they open and wave in unison whenever the team scores. Big bird team mascot Tsubakuro is one of the most colorful and entertaining.

I have worked on large diesel trucks before. Some have Jake breaks on the engine that work by cutting oil flow to the lifters. This in turn makes the lifter soft (for lack of a better word) and it does not allow the push rod to open the exhaust valve thus the piston has to push the exhaust through the valves slowing the engine down acting as a break. Is this kind of how it works on the AFM system? Reason I am asking is when I get my Black Bear tune in the next few days. I want to turn the AFM system off. Once it is turned off the lifters should be ok since they would not be starved for oil any more or are the AFM lifters different from regular lifters and are just prone to fail?"

The poster wasn't re-issued - its futurist art design was unpopular at the time - but the sentiment has survived. For many, the Flying Scotsman epitomises the nostalgia, romance and glamour associated with rail travel of a by-gone era. The Flying Scotsman - the train often labelled \"\"the most famous in the world\"\" - celebrates 150 years in operation this month. A named, daily passenger service between London's King's Cross station and Edinburgh called the Flying Scotsman has been running since 18 June 1862. Not to be confused with 'Flying Scotsman' - the engine, which, in 1923 was given the same name as the East Coast Main Line's most illustrious express to honour the service. ' Forgotten man'The Flying Scotsman was sped up in 1932, with LNER promoting the service with this poster Bob Gwynne, associate curator of rail vehicles at the National Railway Museum in York - where the engine 'Flying Scotsman' is being restored - said the famous train came about because of one forgotten man. He said: \"\"18 June 2012 is a landmark in Britain's railway history, thanks to the forgotten story of one man. \"\" 150 years ago at 10:00, a new service, the 'Special Scotch Express' was launched from London King's Cross going north and from Edinburgh Waverley going south at 10:00."

Lusyaya/i Stock/Thinkstock By Diane Grindol All of the parrot species have the anatomy required to imitate human speech, or “talk.” This is one of the attributes that makes parrots alluring to people and certainly sets them apart from other companion animal species. While all the parrots can talk in theory, some are better mimics than others and some species are more likely to talk. Some of our parrots have an “accent” or talk in mechanical, especially fast or barely intelligible speech. If you have a female cockatiel or budgie/parakeet, it’s very unlikely your pet bird will talk at all. Here are some ideas about teaching your pet bird to talk.1. Will your pet bird learn to talk? A pet bird is most likely to talk if it is a naturally vocal species, and it is still young."

And a training schedule template is what you will need to inform the employees about the training. The effectiveness of any training program depends on how well the employees have been informed about the program and the kind of attendance the program sees. And to ensure these two things the detailed schedule of the training program must be made available to all the employees in question, well in advance of the start date of the training program. In order to make a proper training schedule, you can download a free employee training schedule template from here and use it along with the guidelines presented in this article. The significance of a proper training schedule cannot be underestimated as this is one of the vital factors that will determine the success of the training program. So to ensure that your training schedule provides the necessary information to the attendees, we have here some pointers on what all information must feature on the employee training schedule. Information to be Filled in the Employee Training Schedule Template See the complete Bright Hub Guide to Employee Coaching and Mentoring »An employee training schedule contains three important pieces of information, which are: Training Program Details: At the very top of the training schedule are the basic details about the training program such as the name of the training program, the total number of hours it will take to complete the entire training, the proposed start and end date and the name of the training coordinator who can be contacted for further information. The department, team or the individual names of the employees who are to attend the training program can also be mentioned along with this information. Training Summary: The second piece of information that the employee training schedule must provide is the basic structure of the training program."

Known in many languages as “Russian mountains”, the oldest is believed to have been built near St. Petersburg, Russia sometime in the 15th Century. All types of roller coasters have been built throughout the centuries that allow people the thrill of a rush of speed, and a helpless sense of falling at the same time.

It was believed that this breed was the result of mating imported Spanish and Italian pointers. Another theory to the origin of this breed states that it has originated from the Chien d’ Oysel, a pointing dog that existed during the 14th century. The Braque Francais Type Gascogne is a large beautiful breed that has a noble appearance. This is a powerful strong boned dog that does not show excessive heaviness. The dog is a fast and adept hunter, valued by French hunting aficionados for its excellent hunting, pointing and setting abilities for over 200 years. This is a methodical hunter. The dog would show tenacity, can even be obsessive in tracking down the prey. A hunting French Gascony Pointer is an awesome sight."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Toys & Hobbies Model Railroads & Trains G Scale6 Reasons to Buy a G Scale Model Railroade Bay 14 Likes Like March 3, 2016Model railroads have an enduring appeal that few toys can manage, captivating children and seasoned hobbyists alike. For some, the detailed rolling stock itself holds allure; others take delight in building detailed environments and creating a miniature world for their railroads. Larger train sets allow both model train aficionados and track-building enthusiasts to indulge their hobby to the fullest, and G scale trains are the largest available. The \"\"G\"\" in G scale model train sets comes from the German word for \"\"large,\"\" but many train set enthusiasts also think of it as standing for \"\"garden\"\" because these model railroads are often featured outside. Also known as LGB trains after the original manufacturer's name for them, G scale trains have become popular garden features and outdoor attractions. Because of their larger size, G scale engines and cars can feature remarkable attention to detail that is difficult to see on smaller scales. Some enthusiasts paint or modify their own cars to give them an even more lifelike finish. Some train set collectors refer to G scale trains as G gauge sets; while this is more technically precise, it is also accurate to refer to these large cars and engines as G scale. Scale refers to the proportions of the models themselves, and gauge refers to the width between tracks. The G scale models are unusual for their standard track size but non-standard car size, the reverse of other sizes that standardize car scale but use different track gauges."

By Jill Duffy October 27, 2014 9:00AM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy Contents Fitbit Adds Caller ID, Heart Rate to New Activity Trackers Fitbit's Place in the Landscape Fitbit, one of the market leaders in the fitness tech category, has announced three new activity trackers, one of which will be available to consumers in the coming weeks. The Fitbit Charge is a wrist-worn activity tracker, the Charge HR adds an optical heart rate monitor, and the Fitbit Surge is a GPS-enabled runner's watch that also measure the user's daily activities. Fitbit says these three products break down into three different types: every day, active, and performance. In other words, Fitbit is growing as a company to make not just activity trackers, but also GPS sports watches. The Fitbit Surge seems positioned to compete with Garmin's Forerunner series, an elite brand of similar devices for runners and outdoors enthusiasts. Here's a little more about each of the new products. Fitbit Charge Summary: An all-day, wrist-worn activity tracker, similar to the Fitbit Force, with a larger display and caller ID for incoming calls (pushed from a smartphone to the device). Price: $129.95Availability: In stores in early November in the U. S., and internationally later in November Screen: OLEDSpecial features: The Fitbit Charge will be the first Fitbit device to support a smartwatch feature, namely that when you receive an incoming call on your phone, the person's name will appear on the Charge's screen. The Charge will measure steps, distance, flights of stairs climbed, sleep, exercises, and calories burned."

"text": "\"OBITUARYMarlene Dietrich, 90, Symbol of Glamour, Dies Marlene Dietrich, the magnetic movie star and singer who was an international symbol of glamour and sex for more than half a century, died yesterday at her home in Paris. She was 90 years old. In her films and record-breaking cabaret performances, Miss Dietrich artfully projected cool sophistication, self-mockery and infinite experience. Her sexuality was audacious, her wit was insolent and her manner was ageless. With a world-weary charm and a diaphanous gown showing off her celebrated legs, she was the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany. The Dietrich image, personified by Lola-Lola, the seductive cabaret singer in top hat and silk stockings whom she portrayed in \"\"The Blue Angel,\"\" was that of a liberated woman of the world who chose her men, earned her own living and viewed sex as a challenge. Audiences were captivated by this creature out of no one's experience but out of everyone's imagination. ' Most Vulnerable Fantasies'Her manner, the critic Kenneth Tynan wrote, was that of \"\"a serpentine lasso whereby her voice casually winds itself around our most vulnerable fantasies. \"\"\"\" She has sex but no positive gender,\"\" Tynan wrote. \"\" Her masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men. \"\""

When the movie was made available on video in the 1980s the promotional copy on the video box emphasized the names most buffs would recognize: actresses Jean Harlow and Loretta Young, and director Capra himself. But for many viewers there's no question about it, Williams steals the show, with his low-key flair for comedy and unique, sleepy-eyed charm. Viewers may well ask \"\"Who is this guy, and why haven't I heard of him?\"\" The reason is simple, and sad: he died of peritonitis in 1931 just as 'Platinum Blonde (1931)_ went into wide release, just when he was on the brink of stardom. Born in 1897 in the vicinity of Morganton, North Carolina, he was raised on a farm. The acting bug bit early: he ran away from home at age 11 to join a tent show. He endured a long, hard apprenticeship as an actor, performing on Mississippi river boats and in stock companies touring the Midwest before he reached New York as a young man. When Williams made his Broadway debut in the early 1920s, the New York stage had entered its richest era, when hundreds of shows opened each season. Williams' stage credits include Eyes of Youth opposite Marjorie Rambeau, The Trial of Mary Dugan, Milgrim's Progress, Scarlet Pages, and Love, Honor and Betray with Alice Brady."

She was 90. Ms. Jones, who was the chairwoman of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, Calif., died of natural causes, said Leslie Denk, a museum spokeswoman. Ms. Jones was the widow of the industrialist and art patron Norton Simon. After winning an Academy Award in 1944 for her performance in “The Song of Bernadette,” Ms. Jones went on to star in successful films like “Duel in the Sun” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.” She was nominated for Oscars five times. She was also known for an off-screen life that included bouts of emotional instability; a second marriage to the Svengali-like David O. Selznick, the producer of “Gone With the Wind”; the suicide of their daughter; and a later marriage to another larger-than-life figure, Mr. Simon. It was Selznick who got Ms. Jones the role of Bernadette Soubirous, the young French peasant girl whose visions at Lourdes created a sensation in 1858. “ The Song of Bernadette,” based on Franz Werfel’s best-selling novel, was a huge hit, and it brought the little-known Ms. Jones instant fame.

At one time a heavy smoker, Mr. Klugman had survived throat cancer, which was diagnosed in 1974. After a vocal cord was removed in 1989, his voice was reduced to a gravelly whisper. Mr. Klugman, who grew up in a rough-and-tumble neighborhood in Philadelphia, wasn’t a subtle performer. His features were large and mobile; his voice was a deep, earnest, rough-hewed bleat. He was a no-baloney actor who conveyed straightforward, simply defined emotion, whether it was anger, heartbreak, lust or sympathy. That forthrightness, in both comedy and drama, was the source of his power and his popularity."

( File photo)Jennifer Jones, the actress who won an Academy Award for her luminous performance in the 1943 film \"\"The Song of Bernadette\"\" and who was married to two legendary men -- producer David O. Selznick and industrialist and art collector Norton Simon -- has died. She was 90. Jones died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Malibu, according to Leslie C. Denk, a spokeswoman for the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. Jones had an influential role at the art museum, becoming chairwoman of the Norton Simon Foundation Board after her husband's death in 1993 and overseeing a $3-million renovation of the museum's interior and gardens that was completed in 1999. But she was best known for her movie career. In all, she starred in more than two dozen films, playing opposite such A-list actors as William Holden, Joseph Cotten and Gregory Peck. In addition to her best-actress win for \"\"Bernadette,\"\" Jones was nominated for an Academy Award for leading roles in three other films: \"\"Love Letters\"\" (1945), a melodrama in which an amnesiac is cured through the love of a man, played by Cotten; the western epic \"\"Duel in the Sun\"\" (1946), with Peck; and \"\"Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing\"\" (1955), in which she played Dr. Han Suyin opposite Holden. She was also nominated as best supporting actress for \"\"Since You Went Away\"\" (1944), in which she starred with her first husband, Robert Walker. The tall, sensitive Jones might never have risen to stardom but for Selznick, who was the first to see something special in the beautiful \"\"big-eyed girl\"\" named Phylis Isley who showed up in his New York office to test -- although not very well -- for the part of Claudia in the 1943 film of the same name.

By Ben Ashford For Dailymail.com Published: 14:14 EDT, 12 May 2016 | Updated: 00:03 EDT, 13 May 20162.7kshares748View comments Chelsea Clinton's hedge fund boss husband has refused to apologize to investors - despite losing nearly $25 million in a calamitous gamble on the Greek economy. Marc Mezvinsky, 38, persuaded clients to pour cash into the struggling European country in the hope it would bounce back and deliver massive profits. But after buying up government debt and bank stock, the dramatic upturn he and his partners predicted failed to materialize and the fund's value plunged by an estimated 90 percent. Mezvinsky and former Goldman Sachs colleagues Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon are reported to have finally pulled the plug on the failed investment last month. Scroll down for video+4Chelsea Clinton's hedge fund boss husband Marc Mezvinsky has refused to apologize to investors - despite losing nearly $25 million in a calamitous gamble on the Greek economy+4Mezvinsky's investors are said to include a number of wealthy Clinton family supporters, some of whom have contributed campaign money to either Bill or Hillary But when Daily Mail Online approached Mezvinsky outside his $10 million Manhattan apartment he refused to discuss the Greek tragedy - or reveal why their firm, Eaglevale Partners, took so long to close it down. The Stanford graduate also declined to issue an apology to Eaglevale investors, who are said to include a string of wealthy Clinton backers and campaign contributors. Casually dressed in blue jeans and a grey polo shirt, Mezvinsky said he had 'nothing to say' before dashing inside the swank 5,000-square foot residence overlooking Madison Square Park. It seems unlikely that he and Chelsea, 36 - pregnant with the couple's second child - will be left out of pocket, however, as hedge fund bosses typically pick up management fees in spite of losses."

He attended Marquette Academy along with Pat O'Brien and the two left school to enlist in the Navy at the start of World War I. He was still at Norfolk Navy Yard in Virginia at the end of the war. At Ripon College he did well in the lead of \"\"The Truth\"\" and decided on acting as a career. In New York he roomed with O'Brien while they attended the Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 1923 they both got nonspeaking parts as robots in \"\"R. U. R\"\". In stock he supported himself with jobs as bellhop, janitor and salesman. John Ford saw his critically acclaimed performance in the lead role in the play \"\"The Last Mile\"\" and signed him to Up the River (1930) for Fox. Despite appearing in 16 films there over the next 5 years, Tracy never achieved star status there (during his stint the studio had floundered and was absorbed into Darryl F. Zanuck 's 20th Century Pictures). In 1935 he signed with MGM under the aegis of Irving Thalberg and his career flourished. He became the first actor to win back-to-back Oscars for Captains Courageous (1937) and in a project he initially didn't want to star in, Boys Town (1938)."

"text": "Arts Mickey Rooney, Master of Putting On a Show, Dies at 93By ALJEAN HARMETZ APRIL 7, 2014252Slide Show Mickey Rooney Dies at 93Mario Anzuoni/Reuters Mickey Rooney, the exuberant entertainer who led a roller-coaster life — the world’s top box-office star at 19 as the irrepressible Andy Hardy, a bankrupt has-been in his 40s, a comeback kid on Broadway as he neared 60 — died on Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 93. His death was confirmed by his son Michael Joseph Rooney. He stood only a few inches taller than five feet, but Mr. Rooney was larger and louder than life. From the moment he toddled onto a burlesque stage at 17 months to his movie debut at 6 to his career-crowning Broadway debut in “Sugar Babies” at 59, he did it all. He could act, sing, dance, play piano and drums, and before he was out of short pants he could cry on cue. As Andy Hardy, growing up in the idealized fictional town of Carvel, Mr. Rooney was the most famous teenager in America from 1937 to 1944: everybody’s cheeky son or younger brother, energetic and feverishly in love with girls and cars. The 15 Hardy Family movies, in which all problems could be solved by Andy’s man-to-man talks with his father, Judge Hardy (played by Lewis Stone), earned more than $75 million — a huge sum during the Depression years, when movie tickets rarely cost more than 25 cents. In 1939, America’s theater owners voted Mr. Rooney the No. 1 box-office star, over Tyrone Power."

Not only the Bhagavad Gita, even the Bible or the Quran, they are also.\"\"? ( lecture 29-7-68)God is understood by different religions differently, due to the different time, place and circumstances in which God reveals His divine message. He does so due to the differing of consciousness, capacity and spiritual realisation of the audience to receive His message. Prophet Mohammed was revealed by Allah three kinds of knowledge - one which he was allowed to share with his followers, the second type he had the discretion to share or withhold, and the third category of revelation he was strictly forbidden from sharing. ( Nadar Beg K. Mirza, 'Reincarnation and Islam', and Geo Widengren, 'Muhammad the Apostle of God and his ascension', page 108). Hence Muhammad never revealed to his followers the knowledge of the most attractive Lord Krishna. Krishna possesses beautiful dark color Krsna (कृष्ण) or Krishna means 'All attractive'. A person is attractive if He possesses unlimited beauty, knowledge, strength, fame, riches or renunciation. Generally, an ordinary person of this world may possess any one of these six opulence’s, and even that is limited and subject to destruction by the force of time."

The plain is a great alluvial crescent stretching from the Indus River system in Pakistan to the Punjab Plain (in both Pakistan and India) and the Haryana Plain to the delta of the Ganga (or Ganges) in Bangladesh (where it is called the Padma). Topographically the plain is homogeneous, with only floodplain bluffs and other related features of river erosion and changes in river channels forming important natural features. Two narrow terrain belts, collectively known as the Terai, constitute the northern boundary of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Where the foothills of the Himalayas encounter the plain, small hills known locally as ghar (meaning house in Hindi) have been formed by coarse sands and pebbles deposited by mountain streams. Groundwater from these areas flows on the surface where the plains begin and converts large areas along the rivers into swamps. The southern boundary of the plain begins along the edge of the Great Indian Desert in the state of Rajasthan and continues east along the base of the hills of the Central Highlands to the Bay of Bengal (see fig. 1). The hills, varying in elevation from 300 to 1,200 meters, lie on a general east-west axis. The Central Highlands are divided into northern and southern parts."

Accurate and valid nursing diagnoses guide the selection of interventions that are likely to produce the desired treatment effects and determine nurse-sensitive outcomes. Nursing diagnoses are seen as key to the future of evidence-based, professionally-led nursing care – and to more effectively meeting the need of patients and ensuring patient safety. In an era of increasing electronic patient health records standardized nursing terminologies such as NANDA, NIC and NOC provide a means of collecting nursing data that are systematically analyzed within and across healthcare organizations and provide essential data for cost/benefit analysis and clinical audit. ' Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification' is the definitive guide to nursing diagnoses worldwide. Each nursing diagnoses undergoes a rigorous assessment process by NANDA-I with stringent criteria to indicate the strength of the underlying level of evidence. Each diagnosis comprises a label or name for the diagnosis and a definition. Actual diagnoses include defining characteristics and related factors. Risk diagnoses include risk factors. Many diagnoses are further qualified by terms such as effective, ineffective, impaired, imbalanced, readiness for, disturbed, decreased etc."

New Delhi is a district in Delhi which serves as the capital city of India and seat of the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of the government of India. Calcutta (now Kolkata) was the capital of India during the British Raj until December 1911. However, Delhi had served as the political and financial centre of several empires of ancient India and the Delhi Sultanate, most notably of the Mughal Empire from 1649 to 1857. During the early 1900s, a proposal was made to the British administration to shift the capital of the British Indian Empire (as it was officially called) from Calcutta to Delhi. Unlike Calcutta, which was located on the eastern coast of India, Delhi was at the center of northern India and the Government of British India felt that it would be logistically easier to administer India from the latter rather than the former. International relations and organisations The city is home to numerous international organisations. The Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of Technology of the UNESCAP servicing the Asia-Pacific region is headquartered in New Delhi."

What is the meaning of Bharatha?14 Answers Abhishek Kumar, works at Coal India Limited Answered Sep 26, 2014From the ancient times, our nation has been referred to as Bharat – our original Sanskrit name. Yet, no one story we tell can explain how India got the name Bharat. Several historians have multiple theories as to the origin of this name and each one, is as fascinating as the last. Rig Veda and the battle of ten kings According to Sanjeev Sanyal’s Land of Seven Rivers: History of India’s Geography, the Rig Veda, describes a terrible war known as ‘Dasharajnya’ or war of ten kings. The war was between ten powerful tribes who plotted to overthrow King Sudasa of the Bharata tribe. The mighty battle took place on the banks of the river Ravi in Punjab. According to legend, the Bharata tribe was outnumbered yet King Sudasa, led them to victory due to his highly advanced military skill and established his power throughout the sub-continent. King Sudasa ‘s diplomacy ensured that the Vedas did not just record his victories but the ideas of the sages, including the famed Vishwamitra, from other tribes were also meticulously recorded. This led to the popularity of King Sudasa and eventually more and more people started identifying themselves as members of the Bharata tribe."

In exchange for this position of trust, eunuchs have waived their right to challenge the rulers they serve and take over their authority. They were a ruler’s defenders. For example, in Persia the eunuchs who defended Xerxes and other officials who wanted to overthrow him feuded. Ultimately, the eunuchs lost, and Xerxes was assassinated in 465 B. C. E. [1] Most rulers tried to maintain a balance of power between these two groups. [ 2]Eunuchs were a special group of administrators in Assyria. Originally, they were entrusted with protecting the harem, but as early as 2,000 B. C. E. they held various high offices, and during the Neo-Assyrian period (934-608 B. C. E.) eunuchs were an essential part of royal government. In fact, a collective term in Akkadian for royal officers was eunuchs and bearded ones. [ 3]Assyrian reliefs, frescoes and seals typically portray eunuchs surrounding the Great King without beards, and other royal advisors with beards. ["

Rothschild Family is considered as the most powerful and wealthiest of the entire tiny minority controlling the world’s wealth, influencing global politics, inciting wars and articulating most of the world’s financial crisis. The Rothschild family has its origins in the 18th century, Germany. Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the founding member of the family, was a court Jew, a term referring to Jewish bankers who dealt primarily with the nobility. He went on to establish a banking family of international significance, stretching beyond international borders to every major European power. The family has been in control of the world’s wealth for centuries and their influence reaching far beyond every echelon of power. In this article, we will take a look at this influential family and try to understand who they really are, as opposed to who they claim to be.

An Anthem to the Oppressed Prompt: 1983In Barbara Kingsolver’s novel, The Poisonwood Bible, the tyrannical Nathan Price is a static character whose potential for growth is obliterated by his narrow-mindedness. Nathan exploits others in his self righteous pursuits and leaves in his wake a broken family, a dead daughter, and a stepped on culture that never invited him in the first place. Nathan, a microcosm of the brutal western impact on the Congo, is the ultimate villain – who’s foul fingers have picked apart a culture and a family and left the pieces too jagged to ever fit right again. Through points of view, macrocosm and microcosm and Nathan’s own comments, Kingsolver illuminates the theme that the villain does not get the last word; Kingsolver examines both the scorches that Nathan leaves but also the human capability and resiliency to rise up from the ashes.1. Kingsolver uses the commentary of the Price women and their unique opinions of Nathan to convey his cruel and manipulative nature, as well as to give the oppressed their own voice.· Orleanna comments on the vindictive way Nathan has tainted her family and her life, saying that Nathan can “see no way to have a daughter but to own her like a plot of land,” she remarks that “You can shield them with your body and soul, trying to absorb that awful rain… Without cease, they’ll bend to his light.” These comments show the danger of tyranny in naïve children, the listless job of the oppressed protecting the oppressed and Nathan’s manipulative way of polluting the soil of perfect innocence.· Nathan’s evil is compounded as Kingsolver shows readers it through the eyes of the young, and vivacious Ruth May, she comments “Mama, I hope he never comes back,” which shows the struggle and will of the oppressed to be set free, however, she follows it with “Baby Jesus knows what I said about wishing Father would never come back anymore, and Father is the preacher. So God and them love him best.” The latter statement shows that villains such as Nathan have a way of contaminating young thinking, which feeds their power."

Three minutes after Nathan and Jenelle started dating, they decided to start a family together. Why? Well, besides the obvious lack of maturity and brain cells, because they each lost custody of their first child so they wanted one to call their very own.

To this end, she drugs the newly-regenerated Doctor and masquerades as Mel to gain his trust. The real Mel, however, allies herself with the native Lakertyans, who have been suffering under the rule of the Rani and her bat-like Tetraps. It is up to Mel to rouse the Lakertyans to rebellion, and free the Doctor from the Rani's clutches. Production On August 19th, 1986, the BBC confirmed that Doctor Who would return for its twenty-fourth season. This was a rare piece of good news in the midst of a year of turmoil for the programme. Already, script editor Eric Saward had quit and highly respected writer Robert Holmes had passed away while still working on The Trial Of A Time Lord (Segment Four). Shortly after the announcement, Season Twenty-Three began transmission to disappointing ratings, and Colin Baker was fired from his role as the Sixth Doctor. Finally, on November 28th, John Nathan-Turner learned that he would stay on Doctor Who for a seventh season as producer, rather than being moved onto new projects as he had hoped. Having not expected to be at the reins of Doctor Who in 1987, Nathan-Turner had little upon which to build a new season."

Return to: Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts. Melchizedek Avoids a Trap Giovanni Boccaccio Through acts of generosity and the costs of waging war, Saladin depleted his treasury. Caught by a sudden need for money, he thought of a wealthy Jew, Melchizedek by name, who lived in Alexandria. But Melchizedek had a reputation for miserliness, and he would never voluntarily surrender the vast sum needed by Saladin, nor was the Sultan prepared to take the money by force. At last Saladin devised a plan whereby he would embarrass the wealthy Jew, who would then redeem himself with money. Accordingly, Saladin summoned Melchizedek to his palace, then stated, \"\"Men speak highly of your wisdom. What conclusion have you reached concerning the ways of God?"

With how much force do you need to push it to accelerate it to a given speed? The answer comes from Newton’s second law of motion:where is acceleration, is force and is mass. This wonderfully straightforward, yet subtle law allows you to describe motion of all kinds and so it can, in theory at least, answer pretty much any question a physicist might want to ask about the world. Schrödinger's equation is named after Erwin Schrödinger, 1887-1961. Or can it? When people first started considering the world at the smallest scales, for example electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom, they realised that things get very weird indeed and that Newton's laws no longer apply. To describe this tiny world you need quantum mechanics, a theory developed at the beginning of the twentieth century."

Kabbani advocates an understanding of Islam described by his supporters as fundamentally based on peace, tolerance, inter religious cooperation, respect and love. Kabbani has counselled and advised Muslim leaders around the world from Afghanistan to the UK to build community resilience against violent extremism. [ 1] In the US, he came to prominence in 1999 when he gave a speech stating that extremists had taken over 80% of the mosques in the US. His vocal criticism of extremism has stirred controversy among some American Muslims. In 2012 the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre named him one of the top 500 most influential Muslims. Kabbani was born in Beirut, Lebanon. For more than 50 years he has been a disciple of Shaykh Nazim al-Qubrusi and is his representative in United States. On the order of Shaykh Nazim, Kabbani relocated to the United States in 1991 where he has developed over a dozen Sufi centers focused on Islamic spirituality and cultural enrichment.

"text": "Presentation Gunshot wounds may encompass a broad range of injuries involving soft tissues, bones, blood vessels and other underlying structures, including vital organs [1]. The extent of the injury and the appearance of the wound will depend on two factors: the velocity of the bullet or missile and the proximity of the weapon at the time of firing. Firstly, bullets are classified as low-velocity (with a speed of < 600 m/s) or high-velocity (> 600 m/s), and high-speed bullets which are more likely to cause deep penetrating injuries [1] [2]. Secondly, studies have divided the appearance of a gunshot wound into four main categories, depending on the distance of the firearm to the body [3]: Contact wound - This type of injury will be easily distinguished by the presence of an imprint of the muzzle that is held against the skin at the time of firing, whereas a prominent and wide stellate pattern of the entrance wound as a result of excessive heat, carbon monoxide and the effects of soot on the skin will be observed [3] [4]. Adjacent reddening of the skin is frequent, and the margins of the entrance wound are seared and often black, without a wide zone of soot deposition [3] [4]. The stellate pattern of skin damage in contact wounds is typically seen, but it must be carefully examined, as certain firearms (eg. rifles) may produce an exit wound that has identical macroscopic features [4]. Near-contact wounds - Contrary to contact wounds, soot deposition around the entrance wound is frequent in near-contact wounds [3] [4]. Moreover, they are likely to occur when the gun is held at an acute angle to the skin, producing an irregular pattern of soot on the skin [3] [4]. Intermediate and distant wounds - The absence of soot and surrounding redness of the skin will not be present in gunshot wounds that are inflicted at least two feet away from the victim, and are thus termed intermediate and distant wounds [3] [4]. A pathognomonic feature of close-range or intermediate wounds is the presence of skin tattooing, which demarcates the embodiment of gunpowder into the surrounding skin [4]. Conversely, the absence of skin tattooing indicates that the bullet entered the skin from a significant distance [4].

Workup Immediate inspection of the wound and assessment of the presence of an exit wound is the first important step in the diagnostic workup and it is necessary for determining further care. The shape of the wound, its pattern, borders, as well as the presence (or absence) of soot are essential steps, while history taking (if possible from the patient or from accompanying persons) is equally important. After a full clinical workup, imaging studies in the form of plain radiography, computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography need to be employed, in order to evaluate the extent of tissue injury, including the subcutaneous tissues, blood vessels, bones and vital organs [2] [5] [6] [7]. Although some authors have concluded that the potential risks of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an imaging method are significantly outweighed by its potential benefits, physicians should be cautioned about performing MRI as metallic objects and bullets in the vicinity of important structures could get dislodged and cause secondary injuries [2] [5].

In case of established cancerous dissemination it is postulated that the sentinel lymph node/s is/are the target organs primarily reached by metastasizing cancer cells from the tumor. Thus, sentinel lymph nodes can be totally void of cancer because they were detected prior to dissemination. [ 1] [ clarification needed]The sentinel node procedure is the identification, removal and analysis of the sentinel lymph nodes of a particular tumour. Contents [ hide ]1 Physiology2 Uses2.1 Clinical advantages2.2 Research advantages2.3 Disadvantages3 History4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External links Physiology [ edit]Female breast and adjacent lymph nodes and lymph vessels The spread of some forms of cancer usually follows an orderly progression, spreading first to regional lymph nodes, then the next echelon of lymph nodes, and so on, since the flow of lymph is directional, meaning that some cancers spread in a predictable fashion from where the cancer started. In these cases, if the cancer spreads it will spread first to lymph nodes (lymph glands) close to the tumor before it spreads to other parts of the body. The concept of sentinel lymph node surgery is to determine if the cancer has spread to the very first draining lymph node (called the \"\"sentinel lymph node\"\") or not. If the sentinel lymph node does not contain cancer, then there is a high likelihood that the cancer has not spread to any other area of the body. [ citation needed]Uses [ edit]The concept of the sentinel lymph node is important because of the advent of the sentinel lymph node biopsy technique, also known as a sentinel node procedure. This technique is used in the staging of certain types of cancer to see if they have spread to any lymph nodes, since lymph node metastasis is one of the most important prognostic signs."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Allah said in Qur'an about the month of Ramadan : [2:185] \"\".... So whoever sights [the new moon] of the month, let him fast it.\"\" The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year and contains no intercalation, Ramadan migrates throughout the seasons. Many Muslims insist on the local physical sighting of the moon to mark the beginning of Ramadan, but others use the calculated time of the new moon or the Saudi Arabian declaration to determine the start of the month. Since the new moon is not in the same state at the same time globally, the beginning and ending dates of Ramadan depend on what lunar sightings are received in each respective location."

Keywords:hair,human body,nail Asked by jenguy to Adam, Catherine, Karen, Leila, Nazim on 13 Mar 2012.0Karen Masters answered on 13 Mar 2012: From my memory of GCSE biology its cartilage. But I haven’t studied any biology since then. Your school biology teachers would be better people to ask that.1Adam Stevens answered on 13 Mar 2012: Hair and nails are actually made of pretty much the same thing – a protein called keratin. If you stay in water for too long and try to cut your nails (not saying I’ve ever done that……: P) they can split apart showing that they’re kind of made up of lots of fine hair like strands. Things like elephant tusks and rhino horns are made of the same stuff, I’ve felt some in museums and you can tell they’re basically hair!1Leila Battison answered on 19 Mar 2012: Long stringy proteins called keratin!If you want to really irritate your hairdresser – when they say you have to have you’re ends off because they’re dead, you can tell them smugly that all of your hair is dead, or else you’d need an anasthetic before you had a haircut! really, hair was never alive – it was just made by cells that are alive.

"text": "\"Mir Jafar Biography Mir Jafar Biography Mir Jafar was the first Nawab of Bengal under British influence. An Arab by birth, he rose to power in the Nawab’s army and in the battle of Plassey (1756) he conspired with the British to depose Siraj-Ud-Dullah to become the Nawab himself. Mir came to India as a penniless adventurer but won confidence of Nawab Alivardi Khan to rise to the post of Bakshi. He gained reputation as a brave military personnel, playing prominent role in many of Nawab’s military campaigns. He rescued Nawab’s nephew Saulat Jung in Katak and also defeated the Marathas. However he proved his cowardliness by escaping from Medinipur on hearing the advances of the Maratha forces. He then conspired with Ataullah to overthrow the Nawab but the plan was unearthed and he was dismissed. Nevertheless that did not stop Mir to carry on with his designs. Alivardi’s grandson Siraj-Ud-Dullah came to the throne and he again conspired, this time with Shawkat Jang to invade Bengal. However, the treachery became known to Siraj again and he demoted him and replaced him with Mir Madan as the Bakshi."

"text": "\"Home Culture 200 Unique African Baby Names and their Meanings Culture200 Unique African Baby Names and their Meanings By Emeka Chigozie In Africa, names mean a lot, and it is believed that the name given to a child can influence both the child and the family. Africa is made up of ethnic groups with different languages and beliefs, hence their choices of names differ. Traditional African given names often reflect the circumstances at the time of the birth of the Child. Typical African names such as Ogechukwu “God’s time”, Esi “Sunday”, Khamisi “Thursday”, Mwanajuma “Friday”, Uka “also means Sunday, and Wekesa “harvest time” refer to the time or day when the child was born. Other names reflect the birth order of the newborn, for example Okpala “first male Child”, Kunto “third born”, Ada “First female Child”, Nsonowa “seventh born”, and Wasswa “first of twins”. Some names describe the parents’ reaction to the birth (such as Anuli, Kayode, Gwandoya, Abeni and Monifa) while others are reflections of the desired characteristics of the new-born (like Yejide, Dada, Chiumbo and Zuberi). Although as a result of colonisation by foreign countries, lots of African baby names are now of European origin, in this article, we’ve decided to publish a collection of Unique African baby names you’ve probably never heard of before. List of African Baby Boy Names and Meanings Addo: Ghana name meaning “king of the road”. Boy name Ade Meaning: “Royal one”. Boy name Adjatay: Cameroon name meaning “prince."

Flag What does foreign language mean? Answer by Roaring Mice Confidence votes 118A foreign language is a language that is not often used in a country. When most universities talk about \"\"foreign language,\"\" they mean a language other than the main one spoken in your home, or other than the main language that most of your subjects were taught in when you went to school. To be considered a foreign language, the language has to be a language used by humans - so it can't be a computer language like C++ or Java. But if you're a native English speaker, it could be Spanish, or French, or Russian, or Mandarin, etc. Or yes, often, it can be ASL. If your actual question is whether or not ASL is considered to be a \"\"foreign language\"\" for the purposes of college admissions; or if ASL would fulfill your foreign language requirement at university, then the answer to that is often \"\"Yes.\"\" If you're a native English speaker, for example, ASL could serve as your \"\"foreign language.\"\" But that does vary by university, so you'll have to ask each one directly.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "Famous Ancient Greek Names Reserved for Gods and Mere Mortals In ancient Greece, men and women had unique first names; they had no middle and last names. Even though many names are no longer used today, some Greek names have withstood the test of time and are as popular today as they were ages ago. Here, we present you with a list of popular ancient Greek names along with their meanings. Ancient Greece is considered to be the cradle of western civilization and is the birthplace of many famous philosophers, kings, and heroes. The time period of the ancient Greek civilization was between the Archaic period of 8th to 6th century BC to the end of antiquity i.e. 6th century AD. It was a civilization that gave the world western philosophy, literature, democracy, art and sculptures, and the Olympic games. The ancient Greeks were known to be pioneers in formulating logically valid ideas for government, science, theory, religion, and fine arts. They were truly unique in all aspects of life be it food, religion, names or culture. Speaking of names, as mentioned earlier, ancient Greeks had no last names and were identified with only their first name. Their names would either be simple names derived from a noun or adjective along with a suffix."

Articles On Vision Problem Vision Problems Symptoms Treatment Blurry Vision Night Vision Night Blindness Nearsightedness Farsightedness Presbyopia Strabismus Pregnancy and Vision Is it hard to see distant objects, like highway signs, until you’re a few feet away, but easy to read a book up close? Chances are you’re myopic, also known as nearsighted. It’s a pretty common condition that your eye doctor usually can fix with eyeglasses, contacts, or eye surgery. What Causes Myopia? The structure of your eye is to blame. When your eyeball is too long or the cornea -- the protective outer layer of your eye -- is too curved, the light that enters your eye won’t focus correctly. Images focus in front of the retina, the light-sensitive part of your eye, instead of directly on the retina. This causes blurred vision. Doctors call this a refractive error."

The cornea and lens bend (refract) incoming light rays so they focus in front of the retina. How does nearsightedness develop? Nearsightedness develops in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on the retina, which results in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball becomes too long and prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens. Who is at risk for nearsightedness? Nearsightedness can affect both children and adults. The condition affects about 25 percent of Americans."

Nearsightedness may develop gradually or rapidly, often worsening during childhood and adolescence. Nearsightedness tends to run in families. A basic eye exam can confirm nearsightedness. You can easily correct the condition with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Another treatment option for nearsightedness is surgery. Symptoms Nearsightedness symptoms may include: Blurry vision when looking at distant objects The need to squint or partially close the eyelids to see clearly Headaches caused by eyestrain Difficulty seeing while driving a vehicle, especially at night (night myopia)Nearsightedness is often first detected during childhood and is commonly diagnosed between the early school years through the teens. A child with nearsightedness may: Persistently squint Need to sit closer to the television, movie screen or the front of the classroom Seem to be unaware of distant objects Blink excessively Rub his or her eyes frequently When to see a doctor If your difficulty clearly seeing things that are far away is pronounced enough that you can't perform a task as well as you wish, or if the quality of your vision detracts from your enjoyment of activities, see an eye doctor. He or she can determine the degree of your nearsightedness and advise you of your options to correct your vision. Seek emergency medical care if you experience a sudden onset of flashes of floaters or a shadow covering part of your field of vision."

Myopia occurs when the physical length of the eye is greater than the optical length, causing the visual image to focus in front of the retina instead of directly onto it. This condition cannot be prevented but can easily be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or a surgical procedure such as LASIK. Hyperopia Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a condition in which nearby objects appear out of focus. Hyperopia occurs when the eyeball is too small or the eye's focusing power is too weak, causing the visual image to focus behind the retina instead of directly onto it. This condition cannot be prevented but can easily be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or a surgical procedure. Presbyopia Presbyopia is a condition in which the lens loses some of its focusing power over time, which diminishes a person's ability to see nearby objects. Presbyopia develops with increasing age, and usually begins to have a noticeable effect on vision around the age of 45. This condition cannot be prevented but can easily be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or a surgical procedure. Astigmatism Astigmatism is a condition in which the cornea of the eye is asymmetrically curved, causing vision to be out of focus."

As mentioned earlier in Lesson 6, the lens of the eye assumes a large curvature (short focal length) to bring nearby objects into focus and a flatter shape (long focal length) to bring a distant object into focus. Unfortunately, the eye's inability to a provide a wide variance in focal length leads to a variety of vision defects. Most often, the defect occurs at one end of the spectrum - either the inability to assume a short focal length and focus on nearby objects or the inability to assume a long focal length and thus focus on distant objects. Farsightedness or hyperopia is the inability of the eye to focus on nearby objects. The farsighted eye has no difficulty viewing distant objects. But the ability to view nearby objects requires a different lens shape - a shape that the farsighted eye is unable to assume. Subsequently, the farsighted eye is unable to focus on nearby objects. The problem most frequently arises during latter stages in life, as a result of the weakening of the ciliary muscles and/or the decreased flexibility of the lens. These two potential causes leads to the result that the lens of the eye can no longer assume the high curvature that is required to view nearby objects."

Eye exams for children are extremely important, because 5 to 10 percent of preschoolers and 25 percent of school-aged children have vision problems. * Early identification of a child's vision problem can be crucial because children often are more responsive to treatment when problems are diagnosed early. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should have additional eye exams at age 3, and just before they enter the first grade — at about age 5 or 6. FIND A DOCTOR: Don't let poor vision affect your child's life. Find an eye doctor near you for an appointment. >For school-aged children, the AOA recommends an eye exam every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or as recommended by their optometrist or ophthalmologist."

If you are nearsighted, light rays focus too early within your eye — they form a focus point in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Contact lenses and eyeglasses correct nearsightedness by diverging light rays, which reduces the eye's focusing power. This moves the eye's focus point backward, onto the retina where it belongs. If you are farsighted, your eye does not have adequate focusing power — light rays fail to form a focus point by the time they reach the retina. Contact lenses and glasses correct farsightedness by converging light rays, which increases the eye's focusing power. This moves the eye's focus point forward, onto the retina.

Refractive surgery, also known as corrective eye surgery, encompasses a multitude of procedures designed to treat and correct refractive errors including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. In each of these procedures, a laser is used to reshape the cornea to alter the way light rays enter the eye to achieve focus. The process used, however, differs from surgeon to surgeon. LASIKLaser in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is the most commonly performed refractive surgery procedure today and is the primary procedure of choice at Wolfe Eye Clinic. LASIK has advantages over other procedures, including a relative lack of pain and the fact that good vision is usually achieved almost immediately or in a very short period of time. Those with nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism can benefit from LASIK. With LASIK, the instrument used to create the flap varies. Many surgeons use an instrument called a microkeratome. A microkeratome is a device that uses a very sharp oscillating blade to cut the flap."

Correct design and fitting of the lenses are essential for comfort, safety, and accurate correction. Improvements in contact lenses have made them more comfortable and easier to wear. Millions of people wear contact lenses, and most wear soft lenses. For these people, contact lenses offer a relatively safe and effective way of correcting vision problems.

"text": "\"Nearsightedness A nearsighted eye is \"\"too long,\"\" causing light to converge in front of the retina instead of on it, blurring distance vision. Overview Nearsightedness, medically known as myopia (my-OH-pee-uh), refers to vision that is good at close range but poor at a distance. Nearsightedness generally occurs because the eyeball is too “long” as measured from front to back – being oval-shaped instead of being spherical. Because of the increased distance between the cornea and retina , light converges in front of the retina, rather than on it, making distant objects blurry. This may cause a nearsighted person to squint in order to see distant objects. Myopia comes from the Greek words myein, meaning shut, and ops, meaning eye. Nearsightedness, also known as “shortsightedness” or “close-sightedness,” is the most common vision problem in the U. S., affecting between 25 and 40 percent of the population. It usually develops in children and teenagers during growth periods, and may require frequent changes in corrective lens prescriptions – a reason why regular eye exams are important. It usually stops progressing around age 20, when growth is completed, and may even decrease slightly through the rest of your life. Most experts believe that nearsightedness is usually inherited, since it tends to run in families."

The laser reshaping is done under a protective flap of tissue to promote a very rapid recovery of vision and minimize discomfort. How long has LASIK been performed? The excimer laser has been used for over 15 years and received FDA approval in 1998. Eye surgeons have been creating a protective flap of tissue for over 30 years. These two techniques were first combined in 1991 to create a new form of refractive surgery known as LASIK. The Doctors at Wake Forest Baptist Health Eye Center are leaders in LASIK surgery, and have a combined experience of 30 years performing LASIK."

"text": "Thursday, May 5, 2011LASIK for Nearsightedness and Farsightedness Question: Can LASIK correct my vision for nearsightedness and farsightedness in same eye? Answer: LASIK can correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness. However, there may be some confusion or misunderstanding about the refractive condition of your eyes. People who are nearsighted cannot see clearly at distance, but can see clearly up close. People who are farsighted cannot see clearly up close but can see clearly far away. So, technically you cannot be both nearsighted and farsighted in the same eye. Perhaps you are referring to one of two conditions. If you are nearsighted and wear eyeglasses to see at distance and are approaching or over 40 years old, you may be losing your ability to focus up close-this is called presbyopia, not farsightedness. Presbyopia is a normal loss of focusing so that near vision is difficult. For some patients, a technique called monovision LASIK can be used to help provide clear vision at distance and help with close vision."

Their TV show was long canceled, their special 33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee was kind of a disaster (running up against the Academy Awards), and Peter Tork left the band. Despite all this, Instant Replay, the album they released in February of 1969, is actually quite good. Made up of a couple older songs they dug out of the vaults and newly recorded tracks done separately by each member, there are moments of pop brilliance sprinkled throughout and each of the remaining Monkees truly shines (some more brightly or oddly than the others). The old songs are perfectly Monkees -sounding; “Tear Drop City” was written by old friends Boyce & Hart and rocks like the \"\"Last Train to Clarksville\"\" knockoff it is, and \"\"I Won’t Be the Same Without Her\"\" is the kind of melancholy Goffin & King ballad Nesmith was always able to knock out of the park. Of the songs done by individual Monkees, they break down along more or less predictable lines. Nesmith ’s two songs are strong country-rock ballads; “Don’t Wait for Me” gently rollicks along and “While I Cry” has one of Mike ’s tenderest vocals. Micky ’s two are weird and musically scattered, but impressive all the same; “Just a Game” is a tightly wound song that sounds like one of Davy ’s showstoppers with its guts ripped out, while \"\"Shorty Blackwell\"\" is harder to describe and hearing it makes you wish Micky had really dedicated himself to music after the Monkees split. If he could have cranked out a whole album as \"\"Broadway on acid\"\" as this, it would have been amazing. Davy ’s songs played to his strengths but showed some artistic growth too."

Ask any rock fan who first recorded \"\"Stairway To Heaven\"\", and the chances are the reply will be Led Zeppelin. Not even close! Although a piece of music with this title was published in the 1940s, the first song called \"\"Stairway To Heaven\"\" appears to have been penned by none other than Neil Sedaka. In his 1983 autobiography Laughter in the Rain, Sedaka related how he came to write it. When he and lyricist Howard Greefield sat down to write a follow up to \"\" Oh! Carol \"\" - a truly massive hit - \"\"panic and fear gripped me.\"\" Finally, he came up with a melody that incorporated a two-voice section where he would sing two different lines, and: 'Howie married the lyrics to the song with ease.

"text": "\"The Archies - Bang Shang A Lang Michael Mc Kenna Subscribe 22KAdd to Share More1,690 views120Published on May 22, 2013Don Kirshner was a genius producer and musical mastermind of the early rock and roll era. He originally founded Aldon Music (with his partner Al Nevins) as a music publishing house. In the late 1950s and into the 1960s Mr. Kirshner's stable of extremely talented writers and composers continually produced one hit after another on the pop music charts for an impressive number of early rock stars. These immensely talented composers included (among others) Carole King and Gerry Goffin; Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil; and Neil Sedaka and Howie Greenfield. Aldon Music was a musical goldmine - and Don Kirshner became known as \"\"The Man With The Golden Ear\"\" in recognition of his company's ability to produce hit after hit. He started Dimension Records, and in late1963/early 1964 made a huge corporate merger with Columbia-Screen Gems, which gave his talented team many additional musical writing assignments and exposure via a variety of Screen Gems TV shows. In connection with this merger, Aldon Music became Screen Gems/Columbia Music, and Don oversaw Colpix records, the musical label for Columbia Pictures. In 1966, Colpix closed down to make way for Don Kirshner to form Colgems Records - a new label partnered with RCA to spotlight the new, hotly-anticipated TV group The Monkees. Initially, The Monkees were to primarily be a TV show of a musical group. It soon became clear to Screen Gems that The Monkees needed some solid music to perform on the new show."

His impressive fifty year career ranges from being one of the first teen pop sensations of the 50’s, a relevant songwriter for himself and other artists in the 60’s, a superstar in the 70’s, remaining a constant force in writing and performing presently. This is all thanks to the countless songs he has written, performed, and produced that continue to inspire artists and audiences around the world. Neil Sedaka was born on March 13, 1939. Neil’s interest in music began at the young age of eight, when he would listen to The Make-Believe Ballroom."

The material is an odd combination of early-'60s recordings by King and some of her best-known work from the early '70s. In this case, the album leads off with King versions of the 1962 hits \"\"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do\"\" (written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield and turned into a hit by Sedaka) and \"\"Crying in the Rain\"\" (written by King and Greenfield and turned into a hit by the Everly Brothers). These are apparently demos or recordings not issued at the time. The rest of the disc consists of seven tracks from King's 1971 album, Music, and five from her 1974 album, Wrap Around Joy, presented in subpar fidelity. Perhaps the people licensing these recordings are claiming they are demos and therefore not pirated from Ode Records (now controlled by Sony). But they are not demos in the usually accepted sense. They are the original tracks as they appeared on the legitimate records, except that the sound is inferior. Maybe they are early, discarded mixes of the tracks, or otherwise unfinished. Who knows?"

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by William Ruhlmann Singer, songwriter, and pianist Neil Sedaka enjoyed two distinct periods of commercial success in two slightly different styles of pop music: first, as a teen pop star in the late '50s and early '60s, then as a singer of more mature pop/rock in the '70s. In both phases, Sedaka, a classically trained pianist, composed the music for his hits, which he sang in a boyish tenor. And throughout, even when his performing career was at a low ebb, he served as a songwriter for other artists, resulting in a string of hits year in and year out, whether recorded by him or someone else. For himself, he wrote eight U. S. Top Ten pop hits, including the chart-toppers \"\"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,\"\" \"\"Laughter in the Rain,\"\" and \"\"Bad Blood.\"\" The most successful cover of one of his compositions was Captain & Tennille 's recording of \"\"Love Will Keep Us Together,\"\" another number one. And over the years his songs were recorded by a wide range of pop, rock, country, R&B, and jazz performers including ABBA, Frankie Avalon, La Vern Baker, Shirley Bassey, Teresa Brewer, Carol Burnett, Glen Campbell, the Carpenters, Nick Carter, David Cassidy, Cher, Petula Clark, Richard Clayderman, Patsy Cline, Rosemary Clooney, Sheryl Crow, Vic Damone, Bobby Darin, John Davidson, Neil Diamond, Gloria Estefan, the 5th Dimension, the Four Seasons, Connie Francis, Crystal Gayle, Lesley Gore, the Happenings, Engelbert Humperdinck, Wanda Jackson, Jan & Dean, Tom Jones, Carole King, Earl Klugh, Peggy Lee, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Tony Martin, Johnny Mathis, Susannah Mc Corkle, Clyde Mc Phatter, Mandy Moore, Nana Mouskouri, Maria Muldaur, the Monkees, Jim Nabors, Wayne Newton, Jane Olivor, Donny Osmond, Patti Page, the Partridge Family, Bernadette Peters, Wilson Pickett, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, the Searchers, Sha Na Na, Kay Starr, John Travolta, Dinah Washington, Andy Williams, and Glenn Yarbrough, among many others. Sedaka was born in Brooklyn on March 13, 1939. His father, Mac Sedaka, a taxi driver, was the son of Turkish immigrants; his mother, Eleanor (Appel) Sedaka, was of Polish-Russian descent. He first demonstrated musical aptitude in his second-grade choral class, and when his teacher sent a note home suggesting he take piano lessons, his mother got a part-time job in a department store for six months to pay for a second-hand upright."

After attending Upsala College in New Jersey, Don aspired to become a songwriter and looked for an opportunity to break into the music industry. That opportunity came in the mid 1950’s when Don met a young singer named Robert Cassotto in a Washington Heights candy store. Both boys had grown up in the same neighborhood and attended the Bronx High School of Science. The two became partners working together on jingles and songs for commercials. Taking the advice given to him by singer Frankie Laine when Kirshner was working part-time as a bellhop at the Long Island Surf Club, the young lyricist took to recording demos of songs he co-wrote with Cassotto. About six months later, the pair had their first song published; a collaboration named “Bubblegum Pop. ”In 1958, Cassotto, under his new stage name Bobby Darin, scored a hit with “Splish Splash,” and his career began to take off. With Bobby Darin quickly developing into a highly successful recording star, the Kirshner/Cassotto partnership came to an end. With Darin pursuing a recording career, Don Kirshner approached Al Nevins, a founding member of The Three Suns, about starting a music publishing company."

After high school she was found on a radio program called Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts. That appearances helped Connie get a position as a studio vocalist to get a record company where her voice would eventually glow. She was offered a contract but her first record releases didn’t sell well.

The genre took its name from the byname of the street on which the industry was based, being on 28th Street between Fifth Avenue and Broadway in the early 20th century; around Broadway and 32nd Street in the 1920s; and ultimately on Broadway between 42nd and 50th streets. The phrase tin pan referred to the sound of pianos furiously pounded by the so-called song pluggers, who demonstrated tunes to publishers. Tin Pan Alley comprised the commercial music of songwriters of ballads, dance music, and vaudeville, and its name eventually became synonymous with American popular music in general. When these genres first became prominent, the most profitable commercial product of Tin Pan Alley was sheet music for home consumption, and songwriters, lyricists, and popular performers laboured to produce music to meet the demand. The growth of film, audio recording, radio, and television created an increased demand for more and different kinds of music, and Tin Pan Alley was rendered actually and metaphorically dead as other music-publishing centres arose to supply melodies for these genres.

Encephalocele, also referred to as cranium bifidum, is a type of birth defect and occurs very rarely where there is defect in the neural tube. The neural tube is a narrow canal that folds up and closes during the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy to form the spinal cord and brain. When the neural tube fails to close completely during fetal development in pregnancy, it leads to neural tube defect. Encephalocele is a sac-like projection or protrusion of the brain and its covering membranes through the skull’s opening. This results in an opening, which can be present anywhere, commonly at the back of the head, along the midline of the skull from the nose to the posterior side of the neck, the top of the head, or between the forehead and the nose. Patient has groove running down in the centre of the skull, or between the nose and forehead or on the posterior side of the skull. The severity of encephalocele depends on its location. Classification of Encephalocele Facial encephaloceles are classified as nasofrontal, naso-orbital and nasoethmoidal. Encephalocele can also develop along any region of the cranial vault, as they form due to failure or abnormal closure of the cranial bones."

The disease occurs sporadically but can be transmitted like an infectious disease, from contact with the infected tissues of a person with the disease. Cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease caused by contact with infected tissue has been traced to biologic, products or tissue contaminated with abnormal prions. The disease is caused by an abnormal form of a specific protein called a prion. The disease is usually fatal within 6 months after onset of symptoms. Mad Cow Disease Similar prion diseases occur in animals, which can be transmitted between animals of the same or different species by feeding animal tissues from infected to healthy animals. During an epidemic of infected cows, the problem was traced to cattle feed that had been mixed with protein-rich tissues obtained from sheep that had been infected with another prion disease called scrapie. \"\" Mad cow\"\" is an infectious disease in the brain of cattle."

"text": "\"EARLY EMBRYOLOGYWhy do we need knowledge of embryology to study anatomy? � The fact is that all of those structures in all organisms are derived from a single cell that was formed by the union of two gametes. � Every organism you see came originally from a single cell, which divided and differentiated to form more complex structures. Thus, everything that we will study during the remaining part of the semester is dependent on the complicated embryological process. Reproduction starts with two cells, the sperm and egg - haploid cells formed through the process of meiosis which are specially designed for their own specific purpose. Sperm are: � extremely small cells that lack most of their cytoplasm � designed to travel through an aquatic medium (either internal or external) to reach the egg cell � travel by movements of one or more flagella that propel it toward the egg � all sperm consist of three basic pieces: - the head, which contains the genetic material and is capped by the acrosome (cap) at the apex that contains enzymes needed for the sperm to penetrate the egg - the middle piece contains the primary power source of mitochondria that fuel the movements of the tail piece. Eggs are: � designed more for providing nutrient sources to the developing young than for movement � contains yolk that consists of lipids and protein for nutrients, along with enzymes needed to initiate development � primarily classified by the amount and the distribution of yolk in the egg: - microlecithal eggs (characteristic of the protochordates and eutherian mammals) have a very small amount of yolk, and the young hatch quickly as a result - mesolecithal eggs (characteristic of lampreys and amphibians) have an intermediate amount of yolk, and the young hatch at a later stage of development - macrolecithal eggs (characteristic of fishes, reptiles, birds and monotremes) have a large amount of yolk, and the young hatch at an even later stage - isolecithal: distribution of yolk can be even through the egg - telolecithal: yolk concentrated in one part of the egg - the area with less yolk and prominent haploid nucleus as the animal pole and the area with more yolk as the vegetal pole At fertilization, enzymes in the acrosome of the sperm help to penetrate the egg � requires that the sperm break through the plasma and vitelline membrane surrounding the egg � to prevent more than one sperm from penetrating the egg ( polyspermy ), the egg undergoes a cortical reaction to bring the sperm head into the interior of the egg and change the vitelline envelope to form the fertilization membrane Just after fertilization the zygote (fertilized egg) undergoes cleavage (mitotic cell divisions) and becomes subdivided into smaller cells - the gross arrangement of cells differs greatly among vertebrates, depending on the amount of yolk in the egg: Holoblastic cleavage occurs when the cleavage furrows pass through the entire egg � cleavage can either be equal, where the resulting cells contain the same amount of yolk, or unequal, in which some cells contain more yolk than others: - equal cleavage occurs in microlecithal eggs - unequal cleavage occurs in mesolecithal eggs � cleavage results in the formation of a ball of cells ( blastomeres ) surrounding an internal cavity ( blastocoel ) Meroblastic cleavage occurs more in macrolecithal eggs � cleavage takes place only in a disk at the animal pole � the cleavage furrows do not extend into the yolk � results in the formation of the blastodisk that lies on the top of the yolk Gastrulation is characterized by cell movement and reorganization within the embryo ( morphogenetic movements) to the interior of the embryo, forming three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm . The cells migrate inward at the blastopore, which forms, or is close to, the location of the anus in the adult � the ectoderm forms the outer tube of the embryo � the endoderm is an inner tube that forms the alimentary canal and all its derivative organs � the mesoderm lies between these two layers. At the end of gastrulation, the embryo is bilaterally symmetrical, with three discrete cell layers, and rudiments of the notochord and neural tube. This blastopore-to-anus developmental pathway is found in Chordata, Hemichordata, Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc. ),"

Davies, in Mechanisms of Morphogenesis (Second Edition), 2013Epithelial Fusion in Palate Development The secondary palateof mammals, the bony plate that separates the nose from the mouth, is formed by the ingrowth of two opposing shelves, one from the left and one from the right. These palatal shelves commence development as processes that grow downwards from the maxillary processes each side of the tongue. They then elevate to a horizontal position and extend across the top of the tongue to meet along the midline ( Figure 19.6 ). Because it is accessible, and because ‘cleft palate’ ( Figure 19.7) is a common human abnormality, the process of palate fusion has been studied in more detail than most epithelial fusions. Many of the signals involved in the process have been identified, though there is still much to discover at the level of morphogenetic mechanisms. The inside of the oral cavity is covered by a multilayered epithelium that consists of a columnar epithelium and an overlying periderm. When growth of the palatal shelves brings the epithelia from opposing shelves together at the midline, the columnar epithelia meet apical domain to apical domain. The first event connected directly with the process of fusion is a change in the behaviour of cells as the epithelia approach. Soon after the palatal shelves elevate to grow across the top of the tongue, cells at their medial edges begin to produce large numbers of microvilli 14 and then produce filopodia that project towards the oncoming opposite shelf. 15 This presumably reflects activity of small GTPases such as cdc42, although this assumption has not been investigated experimentally."

[ 1] Causation of NTDs involves multiple genes, and nutritional and environmental factors. Neural tube is the embryonic precursor of the brain and spinal cord. The process of neural tube formation is complex, in which a flat sheet of thickened ectodermal cells (neural plate) is converted into a tube. The fusion of the neural tube occurs early in pregnancy from day 21 to day 28 after conception. Abnormal closure of the neural plate results in NTDs. [ 1] NTDs can be classified as: Open: frequently involve the entire central nervous system; neural tissue is exposed with associated leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Closed: localised and confined to the spine with the brain rarely affected; neural tissue is not exposed although the skin covering the defect may be dysplastic. NTDs can be classified on the basis of site of involvement (cranial and spinal) or into open (neural tissue exposed) or closed (neural tissue not exposed). Cranial NTDs Anencephaly."

The primary function of gastrulation is the correct placement of precursor tissues for subsequent morphogenesis. There is now mounting evidence that the body plan is established through inductive interactions between germ layer tissues and by the global patterning activity emanating from embryonic organizers. An increasing number of mouse mutants have been described that have gastrulation defects, providing important insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate this complex process. In this review, we explore the mouse embryo before and during gastrulation, highlighting its similarities with other vertebrate embryos and its unique characteristics.

The anatomy of mouse gastrulation The purpose of gastrulation is to generate a body plan that serves as a blueprint for the subsequent morphogenesis of the embryo. In the mouse, gastrulation is a constantly changing, three-dimensional puzzle that has unique features when compared to non-mammalian and even other mammalian embryos.

It is one of the three primary germinal layers, the other layers being the mesoderm and the endoderm. The ectoderm develops the nervous system, external sensory organs as well as the hair and skin glands. The ectoderm itself consists of three separate parts: surface ectoderm, neural ectoderm and neural crest. The surface ectoderm is responsible for developing the crystalline lens, meibomian glands, and the eyelid epidermis. Surface ectoderm also forms skin, tooth enamel and the mucous membrane of the mouth. These developments typically begin in humans during the fourth week of life development, continuing through the second trimester. The neural ectoderm acts to form the retina, optic nerve fibers, iris muscles and retinal pigment epithelium. This part of the ectoderm contains the neural tube, which is responsible for developing the central nervous system."

About 98% of neural tissue is concentrated in the brain and spinal cord, which are the control centers for the nervous system. Neural tissue cell types Neurons transmit signals as electrical charges which affect their cell membranes. A neuron has a cell body (soma) that contains a nucleus. The stimulus that results in the production of an electrical impulse usually affects the cell membrane of one of the dendrites, which then eventually travels along the length of an axon, which can be a meter long. Axons are often called nerve fibers with each ending at a synaptic terminal. Neuroglia are cells of the CNS (central nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system) that support and protect the neurons. They provide the physical support for neural tissue, as well as maintaining the chemical composition of the tissue fluids and defending the tissue from infection.

The stimulant directly affects brain function, and long-term addiction leads to extensive physiological and psychological problems. Definition Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. Pure cocaine was first extracted from the leaf of the Erythroxylon coca bush in the mid-19th century. In the early 1900s it became the main stimulant drug used in most of the tonics and elixirs that were developed to treat a wide variety of illnesses. It quickly became popular as an ingredient in patented medicines (throat lozenges and tonics) and other products (such as Coca Cola, from which it was later removed). Concern soon mounted due to instances of addiction, psychotic behavior, convulsion, and death. A series of steps, including passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, were taken to combat health and behavioral problems associated with the use of cocaine. Finally, the Harrison Act of 1914 outlawed the use of cocaine in over-the-counter products and made it available only by prescription. Cocaine use soon dropped dramatically and remained at minimal levels for nearly half a century."

The relationship between BPD and addiction is a volatile one. The use of drugs and alcohol aggravate some of the more dangerous symptoms of BPD, most notably, rage and depression. Those who have BPD are more likely to engage in drug or alcohol consumption as an attempt to numb the pain of their fear of abandonment. In order to overcome a profound sense of emotional emptiness, they frequently engage in self-injuring behaviors, like cutting. They are also prone to suicide attempts, especially when substance abuse is involved."

"text": "Heroin Abuse and Depression Home Heroin Abuse and Depression Find Fast: How Heroin Affects the Psyche Factors Associated with Depression Depression and Heroin Withdrawal Approaches to Treatment Heroin, Depression and Suicide Share Tweet In the mind of a heroin abuser, depression and addiction are often deeply intertwined. Heroin is a powerful opiate that alters the user’s brain chemistry, causing mood changes, suicidal behavior, psychological dependence and addiction. Advances in Psychiatric Treatment estimates that close to half (48 percent) of opiate users have experienced depression at some point in their lives. When depression occurs in someone with heroin addiction — a condition known as a Dual Diagnosis — the chances of long-term recovery are slim. Unless the user is treated for both conditions, it is likely that he or she will relapse soon after rehab. In many cases, the depressed heroin user will not receive treatment at all. Fortunately, clinical studies show that when depression and substance abuse are treated simultaneously, depressive symptoms often improve. According to Biological Psychiatry, opiate addicts who go through residential rehab or methadone maintenance treatment have significant improvement in their depression. The key to treating heroin abuse and depression successfully is to identify both conditions early in the recovery process. Intensive neuropsychological assessment can reveal the signs of co-occurring psychiatric disorders like depression."

"text": "\"The Medical \"\"Benefits\"\" of Smoking Marijuana (Cannabis): a Review of the Current Scientific Literature by Rich Deem Introduction Marijuana Harmless? In 1997, the British newspaper The Independent began a campaign to decriminalize marijuana use, describing it as a relatively harmless drug, eventually leading to the British Government downgrading the legal status of the drug. Ten years later, the same newspaper published another article entitled \"\" Cannabis: an apology ,\"\" reversing its campaign for marijuana decriminalization because, there is increasing evidence that marijuana use is far from harmless. Rich Deem Marijuana (cannabis) is the most widely used illegal drug in many developed countries. 1 Medical studies have shown that the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), might provide some medical benefits in some patients. Under the impression that these benefits were substantial, voters in California and Arizona approved initiatives allowing the use of \"\"medical\"\" marijuana by patients under certain circumstances. This paper represents a current review of the medical literature regarding the benefits and drawbacks of using marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. A companion paper examines the moral and biblical questions about the Christian's use of marijuana. THC mode of action THC Structure THC is a cannabinoid compound, which binds to CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the human brain. 2 These cannabinoids mimic naturally occurring endocannabinoids produced within the brain, but with more powerful effects."

Opioids are medications that act on opioid receptors in both the spinal cord and brain to reduce the intensity of pain-signal perception.

They have been used for centuries to treat pain, cough, and diarrhea. 26 The most common modern use of opioids is to treat acute pain. However, since the 1990s, they have been increasingly used to treat chronic pain, despite sparse evidence for their effectiveness when used long term. 27 Indeed, some patients experience a worsening of their pain or increased sensitivity to pain as a result of treatment with opioids, a phenomenon known as hyperalgesia. 28 Importantly, in addition to relieving pain, opioids also activate reward regions in the brain causing the euphoria—or high—that underlies the potential for misuse and addiction.

For some depression will be a mercifully short episode in their lives, for millions it becomes a chronic experience of emotional pain that devastates all areas of their lives. Depression is notoriously difficult to treat, especially in its chronic form. Talk therapy is often ineffective, and anti-depressive medications sometimes have unwanted side effects. Medications such as Webutrin, Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft often leave the client with sexual dysfunction, agitation, sleeplessness and alterations in their personalities. These medications can and do save lives, but for some the side effects make them less than satisfactory answers to long term clinical depression. Ayahuasca is a tea made from a combination of legally available plants that produces a profound alteration in consciousness.

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."

Absorption Alcohol is primarily absorbed through the stomach and the small intestines. It is considered a food because it has calories, but does not need to be digested and proceeds directly into the body through the digestive system. After ingestion it is carried through the blood stream and crosses the blood–brain barrier, at which time impairment begins. A greater amount of ingestion causes greater impairment to the brain, which, in turn, causes a person to have a greater degree of difficulty in functioning. B. Metabolism/Elimination The majority of alcohol in the body is eliminated by the liver. Ninety percent is eliminated through the body, while ten percent is eliminated (unchanged) through sweat and urine. Before the liver can process alcohol, a threshold amount is needed and can occur at the rate of one 12 oz. can of beer, one 5 oz. glass of wine, or 1 1/2 oz."

In the case of benzodiazepine dependence, however, the continued use seems to be associated with the avoidance of unpleasant withdrawal reaction rather than from the pleasurable effects of the drug. [ 1] Benzodiazepine dependence develops with long-term use, even at low therapeutic doses, [2] without the described dependence behavior. [ 3] [4]Addiction, or what is sometimes referred to as psychological dependence, includes people misusing or craving the drug not to relieve withdrawal symptoms, but to experience its euphoric or intoxicating effects. It is important to distinguish between addiction and drug abuse of benzodiazepines and normal physical dependence on benzodiazepines. The increased GABA Ainhibition caused by benzodiazepines is counteracted by the body's development of tolerance to the drug's effects; the development of tolerance occurs as a result of neuroadaptations, which result in decreased GABA inhibition and increased excitability of the glutamate system; these adaptations occur as a result of the body trying to overcome the central nervous system depressant effects of the drug to restore homeostasis."

This could include having delusions or hallucinations. People having an episode of psychosis may have false beliefs, or they might see, hear or feel things that are not there. Early intervention may prevent someone from hurting themselves or others and could stop a psychosis-related condition from worsening. If you or someone you know has developed symptoms of psychosis, you must seek help as soon as possible. What Causes Psychosis? There are several potential causes for psychosis, including some behaviors that are controllable as well as health problems that are not under your control. According to Medline Plus, the following may cause psychosis: Alcohol, illegal drug use and certain prescription medications Stroke Dementia Certain types of epilepsy Diseases of the brain Brain tumors HIVPeople who have certain personality disorders or who have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or severe depression may also experience psychosis.

To the contrary, there are pro-marijuana myths, where marijuana could never be addictive and is a benign, happy little drug that can do absolutely no harm. As such, marijuana withdrawal syndrome is still considered by some to be just about as real as leprechauns, unicorns and the Easter bunny!Back in reality, becoming addicted to cannabis is a real phenomenon. If you can get addicted to sausages (you can!) why not the green stuff? Putting it simply, addictions are compulsive behaviors that we continue to do despite the negative consequences. Relatedly, marijuana withdrawal is real and is a diagnostic indicator of marijuana addiction. As with experiencing withdrawal from any addiction, there are physiological and psychological consequences that are unpleasant enough to encourage continued use for some users that are trying to quit. As stated in a 2015 review in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics:“Chronic cannabis users typically experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when use is discontinued. These symptoms are much less severe than those associated with withdrawal from chronic opioid or depressant use, but aversive enough to encourage continued cannabis use and interfere with cessation attempts in some individuals."

Effective treatments, both medications and substance use disorder counseling, are available but underused, and access to developmentally appropriate treatment is severely restricted for adolescents and young adults. Resources to disseminate available therapies and to develop new treatments specifically for this age group are needed to save and improve lives of youth with opioid addiction. Abbreviation: AAP — American Academy of Pediatrics Background With a renewed emphasis on treating pain directed by the US Department of Health and Human Services in 1992 1 and institutionalized by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals in 2001, 2 combined with the development of potent oral opioid pain medications, exponential increases in the annual number of opioid prescriptions written by US physicians have occurred over the past 2 decades. 3 Between 1991 and 2012, the rate of “nonmedical use” (ie, use without a prescription or more than prescribed) of opioid medication by adolescents (12–17 years of age) and young adults (18–25 years of age) more than doubled, 4, 5 and the rate of opioid use disorders, including heroin addiction, increased in parallel. 6 The rate of fatal opioid overdose more than doubled between 2000 and 2013. 7 In 2008, more than 16 000 people died of opioid pain reliever overdose. 7 Other serious adverse health outcomes result from intravenous drug use and include endocarditis, 8 abscesses, 9 and infection with hepatitis C. 10Severe opioid use disorder is a chronic condition in which neurologic changes in the reward center of the brain are responsible for cravings and compulsive substance use. 11 The associated behavioral disruptions and change in functioning range from modest to severe; remarkably, some adolescents may continue to do well in school and in other areas of life despite severe opioid use disorder. The rate of spontaneous remission is low; however, patients can recover."

[ 8] Despite the involvement of a number of psychosocial factors, a biological process – one which is induced by repeated exposure to an addictive stimulus – is the core pathology that drives the development and maintenance of an addiction. [ 1] [9] The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are reinforcing (i.e., they increase the likelihood that a person will seek repeated exposure to them) and intrinsically rewarding (i.e., they are perceived as being inherently positive, desirable, and pleasurable). [ 1] [3] [7]Addiction is a disorder of the brain's reward system which arises through transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms and occurs over time from chronically high levels of exposure to an addictive stimulus (e.g., eating food, the use of cocaine, engagement in sexual intercourse, participation in high-thrill cultural activities such as gambling, etc.). [ 1] [10] [11] ΔFos B, a gene transcription factor, is a critical component and common factor in the development of virtually all forms of behavioral and drug addictions. [ 10] [11] [12] [13] Two decades of research into ΔFos B's role in addiction have demonstrated that addiction arises, and the associated compulsive behavior intensifies or attenuates, along with the overexpression of ΔFos B in the D1-type medium spiny neurons of the nucleus accumbens. [ 1] [10] [11] [12] Due to the causal relationship between ΔFos B expression and addictions, it is used preclinically as an addiction biomarker. [ 1] [10] [12] ΔFos B expression in these neurons directly and positively regulates drug self-administration and reward sensitization through positive reinforcement, while decreasing sensitivity to aversion.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( February 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Articulated bus Type Commercial vehicle Inventor Vernon F. Antoine Kaiser (first bus designed as articulated)Inception 1924 1942 (first bus designed as articulated)An articulated bus (either a motor bus or trolleybus) is an articulated vehicle used in public transportation. It is usually a single-deck design, and comprises two rigid sections linked by a pivoting joint (articulation) enclosed by protective folding bellows on the in- and outside the vehicle (usually of gray or black colour) and a cover plate on the inside of the vehicle. This arrangement allows a longer legal overall length than single-decker rigid-bodied buses, and hence a higher passenger capacity, while still allowing the bus to maneuver adequately on the roads of its service route. Around the English-speaking world, articulated buses have acquired several different synonyms that allude to their articulated design, such as bendy buses, bending buses, tandem buses, stretch buses, double buses, banana buses, slinky buses, wiggle buses, bendibois, caterpillar buses, accordion buses or vestibule buses. [ citation needed] Due to their high passenger capacity, articulated buses are often used as part of bus rapid transit schemes, and can include mechanical guidance. [ citation needed]Used almost exclusively on public transport bus services, articulated buses are approximately 18 m or 60 ft in length; standard rigid-construction buses are usually 11 to 14 m or 30 to 40 ft. The common arrangement of an articulated bus is to have a forward section with two axles leading a rear section with a single axle, with the driving axle mounted on either the front or the rear section."

It is the principal railway station of the city of Nottingham and the Greater Nottingham area. It is also a nodal point on the city's tram system, with a tram stop that was originally called Station Street but is now known as Nottingham Station. The station was first built by the Midland Railway in 1848, and rebuilt by them in 1904, with much of the current building dating from that later date. It is now owned by Network Rail but managed by East Midlands Trains."

This Union is more than 300 years old and comprises four constituent nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It occupies all of the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern portion of the island of Ireland and most of the remaining British Isles. The UK is an island nation, but shares a open land border with Ireland. It neighbours several countries by sea, including France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. The UK today is a diverse patchwork of native and immigrant cultures, possessing a fascinating history and dynamic modern culture, both of which remain hugely influential in the wider world. Although Britannia no longer rules the waves, the UK is still an overwhelmingly popular destination for many travellers. Its capital and largest city of London is, along with New York, often reckoned to be one of only two cities of truly global importance but many come to see quaint villages and the beautiful and quickly changing countryside. Understand [ edit]England is just one of the constituent parts of the United Kingdom, alongside Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Treating \"\"England\"\" and \"\"The United Kingdom\"\" as synonyms is a mistake commonly made by visitors, which can annoy the Welsh, Scottish & Irish."

A short tour of Australia and New Zealand along with Small Faces and former Manfred Mann vocalist Paul Jones was marred with bad press and poor sound, leading Pete Townshend to vow the group would never return (they eventually relented, but not until a 2004 stop in Australia and another in both countries in 2009 ). The year also saw two long stints in North America, the first of which included two dates at the Fillmore East in New York City that the band recorded in hopes of releasing a live album. The plan was eventually scrapped when they weren't satisfied with the quality of the performances, but a bootleg album called Live at the Fillmore East made use of the soundboard tapes and provided fans with one of the earliest glimpses of the group's live act. The second North American tour featured performances of the newly recorded \"\" Magic Bus \"\", which was released in July and quickly became a fan favourite; it was also during this time that Townshend began giving interviews related to his visions of the concept album that would become Tommy, which the band would begin recording in September and complete the following March. The last three months of the year were spent performing in England around recording dates for Tommy, including a short theatre tour in November with such artists as Small Faces, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and Yes."

Understand [ edit]London Heathrow (LHR) is a giant, sprawling airport currently divided into four terminals (T2, T3, T4 and T5). The airport is so large it could almost qualify as being a small city in itself - indeed Heathrow is often described as an \"\"aerotropolis\"\" for this reason. Originally established in the late 1940s, it is London's primary airport, the premier air gateway into the United Kingdom, and is the busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic and is Europe's foremost hub airport. Due to its size, increased security requirements and the fact that development had not kept pace with its growth, Heathrow became overcrowded and developed a reputation for long queues, inefficiency and delays. However, since Terminal 5 opened in March 2008, and despite initial problems with the brand new terminal, this situation has improved. Terminal 2, the airport's original terminal, closed in November 2009 for redevelopment - the new T2, also known as The Queen's Terminal, officially opened in June 2014. Terminal 1 closed in 2015 for demolition, and the site will be used for further expansion of the new Terminal 2. In 2016, the British Government approved a highly controversial plan to build a third runway to the north of the present airfield boundary, which will wipe out the entire village of Sipson, several adjacent housing estates and the existing \"\"Heathrow Strip\"\" of hotels. The proposals however, are not expected to be realised until the mid 2020s at the earliest."

Scheduled domestic, European and North African services are operated from the airport. Between 1997-2007, the facility was one of Europe's fastest growing airports, increasing annual passenger numbers from 689,468 in 1997 to 5,470,000 in 2007. [ 3] Despite passenger numbers having decreased to just over 4,800,000 in 2016, this was an 11.1% increase on the 2015 total, making it the twelfth busiest airport in the UK.

"text": "Exeter Chiefs - Sandy Park Although Exeter Chiefs are relatively new on the rugby scene to many they are in fact one of the most historic clubs in English rugby, formed way back in 1871. In recent years the club have worked extremely hard both on and off the pitch with a view to competing at the top level, which culminated in a move from the County Ground, home for over one hundred years. Their new home since 2006 has been Sandy Park, a purpose-built rugby stadium complete with modern conference and function facilities. Eventually all the hard work paid off and and the Chiefs were promoted to the English Premiership in 2010, with their first appearance in the Heineken Cup coming in the 2012-13 season. The upward trajectory has continued, with the Chiefs finishing second in the 2015-16 season. After seeing off Wasps in the playoff semi-final at Sandy Park, Exeter went down to Saracens in their first appearance in the showpiece final at Twickenham. A disappointment to their fans no doubt, but one feels it is only a matter of time before silverware heads to the Southwest. Exeter regularly attract praise for their patient and carefully managed rise to the top. And despite the South West of England being a rugby heartland, Exeter are the only Premiership club in the area so naturally attract a good support. Ground Information Back to Top ^Sandy Park is located on the eastern edge of the city beside Junction 30 of the M5 Motorway."

Set three years later, it focuses on the mod revival scene rather than the skinhead subculture, with the gang variously adopting an eclectic mix of clothing styles. Like the film version previously, Thomas Turgoose stars as Shaun, with central roles played by Joe Gilgun as Woody, now a scooter-riding mod, although girlfriend Lol ( Vicky Mc Clure) and her friend Trev stay loyal to their roots and still wear the skinhead garb. Lol's sister Kelly has gone new wave / punk, while other gang members adopt psychobilly, early chav and mohican influences. The story takes place during the 1986 FIFA World Cup. As Shaun completes his last school exam, he realises he will have to find his way in the world. His now-estranged friends including Woody, Lol, Smell, Gadget and Meggy, are still around the area, looking for love, entertainment and employment.

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( October 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The south end of Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, Canada A reversible lane ( British English: tidal flow) is a lane in which traffic may travel in either direction, depending on certain conditions. Typically, it is meant to improve traffic flow during rush hours, by having overhead traffic lights and lighted street signs notify drivers which lanes are open or closed to driving or turning. Reversible lanes are also commonly found in tunnels and on bridges, and on the surrounding roadways – even where the lanes are not regularly reversed to handle normal changes in traffic flow. The presence of lane controls allows authorities to close or reverse lanes when unusual circumstances (such as construction or a traffic mishap) require use of fewer or more lanes to maintain orderly flow of traffic. Contents [ hide ]1 Separation of flows2 Passing lanes3 Turn lanes and flush medians4 Examples4.1 No (or minimal) lane controls4.2 Lane controls and no (or minimal) physical separation4.3 Lane controls and physical separation4.4 Lane controls and physical separation by movable barrier4.5 Third (reversible) carriageways on freeways4.6 Entire roadway routinely reversed4.7 Entire roadway formerly reversed5 Escalators6 See also7 References Separation of flows [ edit]Some more recent implementations of reversible lanes use a movable barrier to establish a physical separation between allowed and disallowed lanes of travel. In some systems, a concrete barrier is moved during low-traffic periods to switch a central lane from one side of the road to another; some examples are the five-lane San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego, California, the former seven-lane Tappan Zee Bridge on the Hudson River in New York and the eight-lane Auckland Harbour Bridge across the Waitematā Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. Other systems use retractable cones or bollards which are built into the road, or retractable fences which can divert traffic from a reversible ramp. The two center lanes of the six-lane Golden Gate Bridge are reversible; they are southbound during morning rush hour and northbound at evening rush hour."

The rose is also our national flower; the state flower of Georgia is the Cherokee rose; and the wild prairie rose is the state flower of Iowa and North Dakota. The rose has been around for about 35 million years and grows naturally throughout North America. Roses are red, pink, white, or yellow and can have a wonderfully rich aroma. The petals and rose hips are edible and have been used in medicines since ancient times. Rose hips (the fruit of the rose which forms at base of the flower) are eaten in winter by wild birds and other animals. The rose has played an important role in myth, history, and poetry from ancient times to the present.

"text": "Books Daniel Keyes, Author of ‘Flowers for Algernon,’ Dies at 86By DANIEL E. SLOTNIK JUNE 17, 2014Daniel Keyes, author of “Flowers for Algernon. ”Miriam Berkley Daniel Keyes, the author of “Flowers for Algernon,” the story of a man with an I. Q. of 68 who temporarily becomes a genius after surgery — a book that inspired the film “Charly,” starring Cliff Robertson — died on Sunday at his home in South Florida. He was 86. The cause was complications of pneumonia, his daughter Leslie Keyes said. The premise underlying Mr. Keyes’s best-known novel struck him while he waited for an elevated train to take him from Brooklyn to New York University in 1945.“I thought: My education is driving a wedge between me and the people I love ,” he wrote in his memoir, “ Algernon, Charlie and I ” (1999). “ And then I wondered: What would happen if it were possible to increase a person’s intelligence? ” After 15 years that thought grew into the novella “Flowers for Algernon,” which was published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1959 and won the Hugo Award for best short fiction in 1960. By 1966 Mr. Keyes had expanded the story into a novel with the same title, which tied for the Nebula Award for best novel that year. The film, for which Mr. Robertson won the Academy Award for best actor, was released in 1968.“Flowers for Algernon” went on to sell more than five million copies and to become a staple of English classes. It inspired television adaptations, one of which also starred Mr. Robertson, and stage productions, including a musical and a play in Korean."

She was best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes. O'Keeffe has been recognized as the \"\"Mother of American modernism \"\". [ 1] [2]In 1905, O'Keeffe began her serious formal art training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and then the Art Students League of New York, but she felt constrained by her lessons that focused on recreating or copying what was in nature. In 1908, unable to fund further education, she worked for two years as a commercial illustrator, and then spent seven years between 1911 and 1918 teaching in Virginia, Texas, and South Carolina. During that time, she studied art during the summers between 1912 and 1914 and was introduced to the principles and philosophies of Arthur Wesley Dow, who espoused created works of art based upon personal style, design, and interpretation of subjects, rather than trying to copy or represent them. This caused a major change in the way she felt about and approached art, as seen in the beginning stages of her watercolors from her studies at the University of Virginia and more dramatically in the charcoal drawings that she produced in 1915 that led to total abstraction. Alfred Stieglitz, an art dealer and photographer, held an exhibit of her works in 1917. [ 3] Over the next couple of years, she taught and continued her studies at the Teachers College, Columbia University in 1914 and 1915. She moved to New York in 1918 at Stieglitz's request and began working seriously as an artist."

Color lithograph Langage des Fleurs (Language of Flowers) by Alphonse Mucha (1900)The language of flowers, sometimes called floriography, is a means of cryptological communication through the use or arrangement of flowers. Meaning has been attributed to flowers for thousands of years, and some form of floriography has been practiced in traditional cultures throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Plants and flowers are used as symbols in the Hebrew Bible, particularly of love and lovers in the Song of Songs, [1] as an emblem for the Israelite people [2] and for the coming Messiah. [ 3] In Western culture, William Shakespeare ascribed emblematic meanings to flowers, especially in Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Interest in floriography soared in Victorian England and in the United States during the 19th century."

"text": "Home & Garden A Pox on Your Flowers In the Garden By ANNE RAVER APRIL 17, 2013Dumpling planters overflowing with impatiens, a breed of flower beloved by the home gardener. Béatrice de Géa for The New York Times A mysterious strain of downy mildew has been killing one of the home gardener’s favorite annual flowers, Impatiens walleriana, up and down the East and West Coasts, in the Midwest, Texas and Ontario. “We saw it here in 2011 in the fall, and it was really dramatic,” said Margery Daughtrey, a plant pathologist at the Cornell University extension center in Riverhead, N. Y. “Gorgeous plants, flowering two feet tall, and then the flowers start disappearing and leaves drop and stems fall over and then the stems disappear. ”Since then, it has only worsened. Lois Carswell, the co-chair of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden plant sale, which has been held in early spring for the last 60 years, said it has always done a brisk business in impatiens. But last year, the garden’s growers, which supply more than 20,000 plants for the sale, were seeing so many diseased plants in greenhouses and gardens that they decided not to offer Impatiens walleriana or any of its hybrids at this year’s sale later this month. Impatiens is an overused plant I love to hate, so I am shedding crocodile tears. All those red-and-white, pink-and-purple flowers planted like petticoats under the trees — as if trees needed skirts. Maybe nature is doing us a favor by forcing those addicted to the plant to find an alternative. Still, annual bedding plants are a $2 billion industry in the United States, and the colorful Impatiens walleriana has long been one of the best sellers."

"text": "Native Flora | Plant Choices | Urban Gardening Mountain Laurel: A Shade-Tolerant Native With Beautiful Blossoms By Jeanne Rostaing | June 3, 2016When it comes to spectacular flowers, most city gardeners have limited choices. The narrow plots typically found behind most brownstones and row houses get little light due to neighboring trees and adjacent buildings, so using showy plants that require hours of full sun is not realistic. Kalmia latifolia (mountain laurel) in the Discovery Garden. Photo by Lee Patrick. One often overlooked option is mountain laurel ( Kalmia latifolia ). This shade-tolerant North American shrub has gorgeous flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. A close relative of rhododendrons and azaleas, it’s an excellent choice for a shady garden. It’s also evergreen, so even after the blooms have faded, its leathery deep green foliage provides a welcome sign of life. Even in the coldest winter weather, when rhododendron leaves have curled in on themselves, mountain laurel remains bravely open to the elements. Why Is It So Special?"

See Example ( s )EXAMPLESKNOW YOUR HISTORY: Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated. RATINGMixture WHAT'S TRUEIn May 1865, free blacks in Charleston reburied dead Union prisoners of war and held a cemetery dedication ceremony. WHAT'S FALSEThe May 1865 event was not the origin of the modern Memorial Day observance. ORIGINThe custom of holding observances (including the laying of flowers on burial sites) to remember and honor those who gave their lives in military service goes back many hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In the United States, that custom has long since been formalized in the creation of Memorial Day (formerly known as Decoration Day), a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Traditionally, every year the President of the United States (or, in his absence, another high-ranking government official) visits Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day to honor all those Americans who have died in military service to their country by participating in a symbolic wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. In a formal sense, the modern Memorial Day originated with an order issued in 1868 by Maj."

There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including our now domesticated version of the European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ). Variety is the 'spice' of life. Divided Domestication In the 19th Century, before the rabbit became an exhibition type, rural communities divided rabbits into four classifications: Sweethearts - were sleek, well-fed, well-housed, living a life of ease, eating and getting fat, ready for the table. Warreners - inhabited a sandy warren where burrows honeycombed the earth and afforded a rich spoil for poachers and other predators. Parkers - were found on gentlemen's estates, where they were protected within the boundries of the park. Hedgehogs - (not the prickly ones) lived in holes in banks and all sorts of out-of-the-way places, like chalk-pits. They wandered about, unsettled, and were the 'gypsies' of their kind. Types of Rabbit - Leporidae Family The Wild Order The Wild Order of Things All types of rabbits originate from the wild ones, from the family called Leporidae, which can be broken down in to different genus types: Genus Pentalagus Amami Rabbit/Ryūkyū Rabbit, Pentalagus furnessi Genus Bunolagus Bushman Rabbit, Bunolagus monticularis Genus Nesolagus Sumatran Striped Rabbit, Nesolagus netscheri Annamite Striped Rabbit, Nesolagus timminsi Genus Romerolagus Volcano Rabbit, Romerolagus diazi Genus Brachylagus Pygmy Rabbit, Brachylagus idahoensis Genus Sylvilagus Forest Rabbit, Sylvilagus brasiliensis Dice's Cottontail, Sylvilagus dicei Brush Rabbit, Sylvilagus bachmani San Jose Brush Rabbit, Sylvilagus mansuetus Swamp Rabbit, Sylvilagus aquaticus Marsh Rabbit, Sylvilagus palustris Eastern Cottontail, Sylvilagus floridanus New England Cottontail, Sylvilagus transitionalis Mountain Cottontail, Sylvilagus nuttallii Desert Cottontail, Sylvilagus audubonii Omilteme Cottontail, Sylvilagus insonus Mexican Cottontail, Sylvilagus cunicularis Tres Marias Rabbit, Sylvilagus graysoni Genus Oryctolagus European Rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus Genus Poelagus Central African Rabbit, Poelagus marjorita Simple Sylvilagus Each breed of domestic rabbit comes in its 'infinite variety' with variations of colours, coat, textures, sizes, ear types etc. But by comparison, the wild rabbit remains the same - flat coated, fairly small with agouti colours, a mixture of blue, black and yellow."

"text": "Profits in Raising Rabbits At the current time there is a high demand for rabbit meat but not nearly enough suppliers. Many restaurants are adding it to their menus in an attempt to be more European. There are some grocery stores that carry rabbit meat but most are unable to, due to the lack of supply. Cruise lines are big buyers of rabbit meat. Research facilities and universities also purchase a lot of NZW rabbits for medical research and testing. So with all this demand, why is it so hard to make a living off rabbits? Because RABBITS ARE A VOLUME BUSINESS, bottom line. A large number of does would have to be managed to earn big rewards. It is very difficult to make substantial money from breeding rabbits, unless you are a commercial breeder with hundreds of rabbits and on a continuous breeding program. Even then, the returns may be low when the costs of employing staff for cleaning and for the care of the rabbits are taken into account."

Their natural habitats include woods, meadows, forests, farmland, grassland, moorlands, salt marshes, embankments, sand dunes and cliffs. Empty cliff burrows are often taken over by nesting puffins and shearwaters. Rabbits, being sociable animals, live in groups or colonies, in burrow systems known as warrens. The warren can be 3 meters in depth and cover a large area with many entrances. The warren is dug with interconnecting tunnels running off in all directions containing living quarters, nesting areas, bolt runs and emergency exits. Usually a dominant doe within the colony will fight other does for the best nesting site. Dominant rabbits are the most successful at breeding. Dominant bucks run up and down boundary lines marking their territory by depositing droppings, scratching out shallow scrapes or rubbing their chin in the ground, marking their area with scent from their glands."

Well that depends on what you are looking to do with your rabbits!This is the first question you need to ask yourself. Do you want really nice pelts but also some good meat, Do want a high production New Zealand White to pump out 6+ litters a year of good healthy meat for your family. Most medium sized rabbits will work! Rex’s have some of the best pelts around! Their awsome fur is in the highest demand of all the other rabbit pelts available, They also have a good body type for meat, they will take a little longer than most “Meat Breeds” to get up to harvest weight. I raise Silver Foxes and their pelts and meat producing ability tops some of the best NZW I have seen. Satins, another meat/pelt breed I raise, I did a post on this breed in the December archives, Check it out for more on this breed (Great dual purpose rabbit for the homestead), The New Zealand White, Californian, American, Chinchillas, Creme/Champagne D Argent’s, and so, so, many more. So I put together a list and a little background with each breed."

Top Rabbit Resources Transcript So, people are always interested in how old a rabbit is especially if they’re trying to adopt a rabbit from a shelter. Unfortunately, rabbits who come into shelters don’t come with tags on them telling us how old they are and it is very hard to tell the age of a rabbit. There really is no reliable way. Some people look at their teeth, but in fact you can have a young rabbit that has pretty lousy teeth and you can have an older rabbit that has beautiful teeth just as you can with dogs. With small breeds of dogs, you can find a young dog with lots of tartar and you can find an older dog with brilliant gleaming white teeth that look like toothpaste ads."

In a fur herd, the meat is not wasted - it becomes a secondary product, selling as stew meat or as pet food. ( Nothing wrong with the meat, it’s just tougher and must be crock-potted. The farmer takes a 90% hit in income fryer vs. broiler.) A medium-large rabbit herd (several hundred breeding does) becomes a full-time job for one rabbit farmer."

There are 11 genera: 32 Lepus, true hares; 1 Oryctolagus, European rabbit; 17 Sylvilagus, cotton-tails; 1 Brachylagus, pygmy rabbit; 3 Pronolagus, red rock-hares; 1 Bunolagus, riverine rabbit; 1 Pentalagus, Amami rabbit; 1 Caprolagus, hispid hare; 1 Poelagus, Bunyoro rabbit; 2 Nesolagus, striped rabbits; and 1 Romerolagus, volcano rabbit. Early leporids were found in both the Old and New World before Lepus evolved, but had a probable origin in Asia. The Leporidae arose in the Pliocene and Lepus in the early Middle Pleistocene. Whereas Pentalagus, Pronolagus, and Romerolagus are ancient forms, Lepus is a young expanding genus. The monotypical genera in Leporidae are taxonomically distinct with the exception of Brachylagus, which sometimes is included in Sylvilagus. However, the Lepus genus is in a state of confusion regarding both phylogeny and number of species. Physical characteristics All species in the family Leporidae have basic brown or gray soft fur with relatively long legs, feet, and ears. The tail is short and bushy. Some northern forms turn white for winter, and two are striped."

"text": "Rabbits Rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus Site led Keep rabbits from damaging high value biodiversity sites. Why rabbits are pests Production threat Environmental threat Public threat Rabbits have been a major agricultural and environmental pest in parts of New Zealand since the 1870s. While rabbits are now widespread throughout the Waikato region, in most locations they are no more than a nuisance factor as the region’s high rainfall and lush growth restricts their abundance. However, periodic infestations can be found around the sandy pumice soils south of Tokoroa and Lake Taupō (particularly the Western Bays), along the narrow strip of land either side of the Waikato River as far north as Rangiriri, and in the coastal communities of the Coromandel. Uncontrolled rabbit populations can expand rapidly in the holiday areas of Coromandel and Taupō as many properties are not occupied year round. Holiday home owners should consider rabbit control as a regular part of their property management. The European rabbit was introduced to New Zealand as a food source and hunting resource in the 1830s. Females can produce 45 to 50 young each year, but only about 10 per cent of juveniles survive to six months of age. In large numbers, rabbits compete for grazing, reducing the amount of palatable pasture and farm stocking capacity. They contribute to erosion and undermine buildings with their burrowing and affect dune restoration and native restoration programmes."

The breed is a result of cross breeding between the Irish Water Spaniel, English Setter and the Gordon Setter. The original breed of the dog had slightly shorter legs than the current breed to make it a better hunting dog. It also differed in the color of the coat as it had a combination of red and white. However, after the 19th century, the dog was bred for a pure red coat. In the olden days, the breed was used for hunting small game such as birds, rabbits, badgers etc. It was first recognized by the AKC in 1878. The Irish Setter is a medium to large sized dog with an elegant, well balanced frame. It has a long head; medium sized eyes which are almond shaped and dark brown in color; long ears which are low set and carried close to the head; a black or brown nose with flared nostrils; a slightly deep muzzle which slightly tapers towards the end; taut lips with teeth which meet in scissors bite. This breed has a medium length tail which is set at the level of the back."

But how about when you aren’t sure of your rabbit’s background? Perhaps you have a rabbit with an unknown background and you wish to learn more about his genetic makeup. Or perhaps you’re looking at an adoption center for a rabbit that needs a good home, and you are mystified by all of the shapes, sizes and colors. What if your rabbit doesn’t exhibit the obvious characteristics of any particular breed? Mixed-breed dog owners have an easier time establishing the makeup of their dog’s background.

"text": "VITAMIN B 3VITAMIN B 3 (Niacin, Nicotinic acid)Vitamin B 3 is a heat-stable member of the B VITAMIN complex needed by the body to extract ENERGY from FAT, CARBOHYDRATE and PROTEIN. Tissues convert niacin to two closely related COENZYMES (enzyme helpers): NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD functions as an oxidizing agent used in processes that “‘burn” fuels to produce energy in the cell. These include the oxidation of GLUCOSE (GLYCOLYSIS) and of FATTY ACIDS. NAD transfers electrons to the mitochondrial ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN, which ultimately reduces OXYGEN to water. This process liberates vast amounts of chemical energy trapped as ATP as well as releasing heat. NADP is generated from the oxidation of glucose (pentose phosphate pathway). The reduced form of NADP, NADPH, is used as a reducing agent in biosynthetic reactions rather than for energy production. CHOLESTEROL, fatty acids and other important compounds require NADPH for their synthesis. NADPH is also the basis of a powerful antioxidant system (GLUTATHIONE) to protect most cells from the damaging effects of highly reactive molecules called FREE RADICALS."

"text": "<< Back to April 2008Why Aging People Become Depressed, Fatigued, and Overweight April 2008By William Faloon Serotonin is a compound in the brain that promotes feelings of personal security, relaxation, and confidence. A serotonin deficiency can result in sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, and a propensity to overeat, particularly carbohydrates like simple sugars. Startling research reveals that serotonin levels decline as we age! 1-3 These findings provide a biochemical rationale to explain common age-related disorders such as depressed mood and sleep difficulties. Based on these discoveries, aging people may appreciably improve their health by restoring serotonin to youthful levels. The amino acid tryptophan is needed to produce serotonin in the brain. 4 While the amount of tryptophan in a typical diet meets basic metabolic requirements, it often fails to provide optimal brain serotonin levels. Ever since the FDA restricted the importation of tryptophan for use in dietary supplements, there has been an upsurge in the percentage of overweight and obese Americans. One could argue that a widespread serotonin deficiency is at least partially responsible for the record numbers of depressed, sleep-deprived, and overweight individuals. Why Dietary Tryptophan Is Inadequate Tryptophan is one of the eight essential amino acids found in the human diet."

"text": "\"Vitamin & Mineral Functions VITAMINS: Vitamin A — retinol and beta-carotene Vitamin A is absorbed primarily from the small intestine. As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin A can be stored in the body and used when there is decreased intake. Vitamin A is essential for vision, growth, and tissue differentiation. Vitamin A has excellent antioxidant properties that help neutralize free-radicals. Vitamin A stimulates the production of mucous, and is absorbed by the body 3-5 hours after ingestion. The conversion and absorption of carotene takes 6-7 hours after ingestion; approximately 1/3 of carotene in food is converted into provitamin A. Sources: Liver, milk, egg yolk, carrots, sweet potato, dark green leafy vegetables and yellow fruits are high in vitamin A or beta-carotene. Beta-carotene Beta-carotene is the pigment that gives carrots, sweet potatoes, and other yellow vegetables their characteristic coloring. This conjugated polyene also serves as a precursor that can be enzymatically converted into vitamin A in most animals and man. Although vitamin A is not present in any plants, the carotene precursor can be found in carrots, pumpkins, spinach, squash, watermelon, asparagus, broccoli, and cantaloupe. Liver is also a very good source for beta-carotene."

"text": "Vitamin, any of several organic substances that are necessary in small quantities for normal health and growth in higher forms of animal life. Vitamins are distinct in several ways from other biologically important compounds such as protein s, carbohydrate s, and lipid s. Although these latter substances also are indispensable for proper bodily functions, almost all of them can be synthesized by animals in adequate quantities. Vitamins, on the other hand, generally cannot be synthesized in amounts sufficient to meet bodily needs and therefore must be obtained from the diet or from some synthetic source. For this reason, vitamins are called essential nutrients. Vitamins also differ from the other biological compounds in that relatively small quantities are needed to complete their functions. In general these functions are of a catalytic or regulatory nature, facilitating or controlling vital chemical reactions in the body’s cells. If a vitamin is absent from the diet or is not properly absorbed by the body, a specific deficiency disease may develop.vitamin EVitamin E in gel-cap form. © Margaret M Stewart/Shutterstock.com Vitamins are usually designated by selected letters of the alphabet, as in vitamin D or vitamin C, though they are also designated by chemical names, such as niacin and folic acid. Biochemists traditionally separate them into two groups, the water-soluble vitamins and the fat-soluble vitamins. The common and chemical names of vitamins of both groups, along with their main biological functions and deficiency symptoms, are listed in the table."

"text": "How Does Vitamin B Complex Help Your Body?by SYLVIE TREMBLAY, MSC Last Updated: Oct 03, 2017The B-complex vitamins include eight nutrients: thiamin, or vitamin B-1; riboflavin, or vitamin B-2; niacin, or vitamin B-3; pantothenic acid, or vitamin B-5; vitamin B-6; folate, or folic acid; biotin; and vitamin B-12. Unlike some vitamins that can be stored for future use, such as vitamins A and D, your body can't store B-complex vitamins, with the exception of vitamin B-12. This means that any excess B vitamin dissolves in your urine for elimination from your body. As a result, you need a daily supply of B vitamins. Each member of the B-complex family has its own set of functions in your body, but these vitamins also work together to maintain your health. Support for Your Metabolism B-complex vitamins play a role in converting nutrients into energy, so they support your cellular metabolism. Riboflavin and niacin make up components of two coenzymes -- FAD and NAD, respectively -- that help your cells produce ATP, a major source of fuel for your tissues. Biotin activates coenzymes needed to metabolize fats, while folic acid helps your body process amino acids, the nutrients that make up protein. Thiamin also supports your metabolism. It helps your cells metabolize amino acids, and it also activates coenzymes that your cells need to perform the citric acid cycle, which is a series of chemical reactions that produce ATP."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Vitamin B complex)navigation search B vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism. Though these vitamins share similar names, research shows that they are chemically distinct vitamins that often coexist in the same foods. In general, dietary supplements containing all eight are referred to as a vitamin B complex. Individual B vitamin supplements are referred to by the specific number or name of each vitamin: B 1 = thiamine, B 2 = riboflavin, B 3 = niacin, etc. Some are better known by name than number: niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin and folate. Each B vitamin is either a cofactor (generally a coenzyme) for key metabolic processes or is a precursor needed to make one.

"text": "Building Blocks of Nutrition: Digestion and Metabolism Share Elson Haas M. MD ©Proteins are first broken down in the stomach by hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and proteases into peptides (amino acid chains) by splitting peptide bonds between the amino acid protein chains. In the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum, the pancreatic enzyme trypsin continues the conversion of the polypeptides into dipeptides (two amino acids) and tripeptides (three amino acids). Farther along the small intestine, amino peptidases, including dipeptidases, reduce the proteins to single amino acids. These individual amino acid molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall and carried to the liver through the portal vein circulation. The liver is the main site and regulator of amino acid metabolism, which may also take place throughout the body. Proteins are made and broken down daily. About 60–70 percent of amino acids available in the body are recycled from old tissue proteins. These recycled amino acids are called endogenous amino acids; new ones from the diet are termed exogenous. Each cell has the capability of building its needed proteins from either or both sources of amino acids. Protein synthesis is a fairly complex though well-documented process that is described in detail in most biochemistry texts."

Last week’s Daeshaun and Harmony would seem rather conventional compared to the new victors. Get your ovations ready as we are proud to present this week’s sweethearts: Nixon Russell and Kinslee Nicole!It has become customary in our blog comments that no name is just a regular given name, and this week’s winners are no exception to the rule. Let’s uncover the meanings of these names and hope that the parents will help us understand why they picked a last name for first and a boy’s name for a girl. The origin of the name Nixon is a little bit obscure. Some sources suggest the meaning of ‘fearless’ from Old English, but more likely it is derived from Nicholas as Nick’s son or Nicholas’s son. Nicholas itself has been a popular masculine given name for centuries. It originates in Greek and means ‘people’s triumph’. One of the famous bearers was Saint Nicholas, bishop of Lyra, who most likely serves as an inspiration for Santa Claus. Until recently, the name Nixon was only used as a surname, needless to introduce its most famous, or rather infamous bearer Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States and one of the key characters in the Watergate affair."

The surname originated as a patronymic one (i.e., passed from the father’s personal name). In this case, Nike was a pet form of Nicholas which was the English equivalent of the Greek Nikolaos meaning “people of victory” from the elements “nikē” (victory) and “laos” (people). The name Nikoloas (in its various linguistic forms) became widespread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages due to the growing cult surrounding a 4th century saint, St. Nicholas, the Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor (present day Turkey). Nichloas was known for his religious zeal and extraordinary kindness. Although little is factually known, as with many early saints, Nicholas’s legends grew in medieval times and he became one of the most beloved saints ever. His cult arguably had the largest following of any other saint spanning both the Eastern and Western European borders during the Middle Ages. It was said that artists were so inspired by his image that he was second only to the Blessed Mother. In England, Nik (k)e became a popular short form of the name which eventually morphed into the surname Nikkesune (son of Nikke). Due to the high rate of illiteracy in medieval England, coupled with the radically different pronunciations of names among the various dialects, surnames took on many different spellings."

Flamel and his wife are close friends of Albus Dumbledore. They died a natural death after the Stone was destroyed to prevent further attempts to steal it. Nicolas Flamel was a real person (born c. 1330 d. 1418) who was an author. After his death, some believed that he was an alchemist who had found the Philosopher's Stone. There is no evidence to suggest that Flamel knew anything about alchemy and he certainly didn't live over 600 years.16 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Regression Analysis: How to Interpret S, the Standard Error of the Regression Jim Frost 23 January, 201456R-squared gets all of the attention when it comes to determining how well a linear model fits the data. However, I've stated previously that R-squared is overrated. Is there a different goodness-of-fit statistic that can be more helpful? You bet!Today, I’ll highlight a sorely underappreciated regression statistic: S, or the standard error of the regression. S provides important information that R-squared does not. What is the Standard Error of the Regression (S)? S becomes smaller when the data points are closer to the line. In the regression output for Minitab statistical software, you can find S in the Summary of Model section, right next to R-squared. Both statistics provide an overall measure of how well the model fits the data. S is known both as the standard error of the regression and as the standard error of the estimate."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money What Does Liquid Assets Mean?by Nicholas B. Sisson; Updated July 27, 2017The term liquid asset describes any solvent asset that may be easily transformed into its cash value without incurring a loss. Apart from actual cash, liquid assets include foreign currency holdings, a range of bank accounts, accounts receivable and often such precious commodities as gold. Liquid assets allow companies and individuals to access their cash value quickly for use as money. Liquidity Liquidity is a qualitative measure of how efficiently an asset may be converted to cash. The notion of liquidity may extend beyond liquid assets to such market-traded items as stocks and bonds. Market-traded items that are bought and sold on a frequent basis are considered liquid because they may be sold for their cash value in little time, while incurring brokerage fees that have been reduced due to high trade volumes. Savings Accounts A savings account is a deposit account held at a commercial bank which accrues interest. A savings account may accrue interest on a fixed amount for a specified length of time, such as a time deposit. A savings account may also accrue a lower rate of interest on a continual basis and allow for ongoing deposits and a limited number of monthly withdrawals. Video of the Day Checking Accounts Also called demand deposits, checking accounts are used as a place to deposit cash for paying bills and other manner of consumption."

Nicholas Saint Nicholas of Myra Pronunciation / ˈ n ɪ k ə l ə s /Gender Male Origin Word/name Greek Meaning Victory of the people Other names Derived Νικόλαος ( Nikolaos ), a combination of Greek words \"\"victory\"\" (νίκη; nikē) and \"\"people\"\" (λαός; laos)See also Nicolas, Niccolò, Nikolaos, Nikolay / Nikolaj / Nicolay / Nicolae, Nicola / Nikola / Nikolla, Nikollë, Nicole / Nicolle / Nichole, Nico, Nikos, Nikita, Nikanor Variations of the given name Nicholas Colette Mikalojus Mikk Miklós Mikołaj Mikola Mykola MikulášNick NiccolòNico Nicola Nicolas Nicolay Nicolae Nicole Nicolle Nichole Nickolas Nikola Nikolaos Nikolay Nikolaj Nikolla NikollëNikoloz Nikos Klaus Nichv t e Nicholas, Nickolas, Nikolas or Nicolas is a male given name, derived from the Greek name Νικόλαος ( Nikolaos ), a compound of νίκη nikē 'victory' and λαός; laos 'people'. The name became popular through Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra in Lycia, the inspiration for Santa Claus. \"\" Laos\"\" in Greek, originates from the word root \"\"-las\"\", as found in the word \"\"λα-τομεῑο\"\" meaning \"\"stone\"\" or \"\"rock\"\" (as in Greek Mythology, Deucalion and Pyrrha recreated the people after they had vanished in a catastrophic deluge, by throwing stones behind their shoulders while they kept marching on) and the name can be understood to mean victory of the people. The name Nikolaos (Νικόλαος) pre-existed the Bishop of Myra who became Saint Nicholas, by several centuries. The Athenian historian Thucydides mentions that in the second year of the Peloponnesian war (431 to 404 BC) between Sparta and Athens, the Spartans sent a delegation to the Persian king to ask for his help to fight the Athenians; Nikolaos was one of the delegates. The customary English version of spelling \"\"Nicholas\"\", using an \"\"h\"\", first came into use in the 12th century and has been firmly established since the Reformation, though \"\"Nicolas\"\" is occasionally used. In the United States, Nicholas – and its variations – was the 17th most popular male name given to babies in 2006. Roughly 0.7151% of the baby boys born that year, or 15,414, were given that name. It is decreasing in popularity, from a high in 1997, when 27,248 males in the United States were given the name Nicholas."

Some quills, like those of Africa's crested porcupine, are nearly a foot long. Porcupine Quills Porcupines have soft hair, but on their back, sides, and tail it is usually mixed with sharp quills. These quills typically lie flat until a porcupine is threatened, then leap to attention as a persuasive deterrent. Porcupines cannot shoot them at predators as once thought, but the quills do detach easily when touched. Many animals come away from a porcupine encounter with quills protruding from their own snouts or bodies. Quills have sharp tips and overlapping scales or barbs that make them difficult to remove once they are stuck in another animal's skin. Porcupines grow new quills to replace the ones they lose."

Porcupines have a stout, slow, lumbering form and a spiny coat. They usually appear dark brown to black, although some of the hairs and spines on the backs of these animals are yellow. Spines called quills are found on the backs of porcupines from the head to the tail. Many of their quills are fringed with white, which makes them stand out against the dark fur underneath. This white on black marking pattern warns even color-blind predators that porcupines are dangerous. Quills are usually 75 mm long and 2 mm wide."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Boundary of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in yellow The question of whether to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) has been an ongoing political controversy in the United States since 1977. [ 1] As of 2017, Republicans have attempted to allow drilling in ANWR almost fifty times, finally being successful with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. [ 2]ANWR comprises 19 million acres (7.7 million ha) of the north Alaskan coast. [ 3] The land is situated between the Beaufort Sea to the north, Brooks Range to the south, and Prudhoe Bay to the west. It is the largest protected wilderness in the United States and was created by Congress under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980. [ 4] Section 1002 of that act deferred a decision on the management of oil and gas exploration and development of 1.5 million acres (610,000 ha) in the coastal plain, known as the \"\"1002 area\"\". [ 5] The controversy surrounds drilling for oil in this subsection of ANWR. Much of the debate over whether to drill in the 1002 area of ANWR rests on the amount of economically recoverable oil, as it relates to world oil markets, weighed against the potential harm oil exploration might have upon the natural wildlife, in particular the calving ground of the Porcupine caribou. [ 6] [7] In their documentary Being Caribou the Porcupine herd was followed in its yearly migration by author and wildlife biologist John Heuer and filmmaker Leanne Allison to provide a broader understanding of what is at stake if the oil drilling should happen, and educating the public. In 2014, President Barack Obama proposed declaring an additional 5 million acres of the refuge as a wilderness area, which would put a total of 12.8 million acres (5.2 million ha) of the refuge permanently off-limits to drilling or other development, including the coastal plain where oil exploration has been sought.

The Old World porcupines live in southern Europe, Asia (western [1] and southern), and most of Africa. They are large, terrestrial, and strictly nocturnal. In taxonomic terms, they form the family Hystricidae. The New World porcupines are indigenous to North America and northern South America.

They are very peaceful yet territorial rodents and may become offensive when threatened. Still you will find them adorable at the first look and you might want to cuddle them. But don’t be mistaken as they have quills that will lodge inside your skin. This unique feature of porcupines keeps them apart from other rodents like mice, possum, and alike. You can differentiate a porcupine from other rodents just by its quills. These quills protect the porcupine from predators. These rodents are classified into two families: hystricidae family, which has 11 old world species and erethizontidae family, which has 12 new world species. The only difference between the two types is of size and weight, wherein former tends to be larger and latter tends to be smaller and weigh lesser. Porcupines come in different shapes, sizes and colours."

Some specific references are noted within the text. Caribou Migration Caribou Biology Caribou Migration Why are some Porcupine Caribou herd calves born in Canada or the mountains? In spring the Porcupine caribou herd migrates hundreds of miles from winter ranges located south of the Brooks Range in Alaska, and from areas in Yukon Territory, to its traditional calving grounds on the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain and foothills. In years when there's deep snow on the winter range and along the migration routes, and when the spring snow melt is delayed by cold temperatures, caribou cows are delayed in reaching these preferred calving grounds. When this happens, the calves are born along the migration routes and on calving habitats in Canada. This happened in 1987, 2000 and 2001. Sometimes caribou are not delayed during the spring migration, but when they arrive at the edge of the foothills they find it is still covered by snow because cold temperatures have delayed snow-melt. In this case, the cow caribou give birth in snow free or partially snow free areas to the south, near or in the northern mountain valleys."

They are the largest order of mammals in existence and are thought to account for around 40% of all mammals on the planet. This is probably due to their small size, short breeding cycle and of course they can survive on many different foods. Rodents range grossly in size from the smallest pygmy mice being as little as 2.5 inches (6 cm) and weighing less than 0.25 oz (7 g). The largest species is the capybara which can weigh up to 180 lb (80 kg) and there are extinct species who are said to have weighed over 2200 lb (1000 kg), imagine coming across that creature! Some common rodent species include: squirrels, gerbils, voles, beavers and rats. All rodents are characterized by their teeth: two incisors in both their lower and upper jaw. These incisors are unique as they grow continuously and need to be consistently worn down by gnawing. The majority of species use their teeth for a range of purposes from cutting wood to defending their young. The majority of rodents feed solely on plants, with seeds being particularly prominent in their diets."

About 40% of all mammal species are rodents; they are found in vast numbers on all continents except Antarctica. They are the most diversified mammalian order and live in a variety of terrestrial habitats, including human-made environments. Species can be arboreal, fossorial (burrowing), or semiaquatic. Well-known rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, prairie dogs, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and capybaras. Other animals such as rabbits, hares, and pikas, whose incisors also grow continually, were once included with them, but are now considered to be in a separate order, the Lagomorpha. Nonetheless, Rodentia and Lagomorpha are sister groups, sharing a most recent common ancestor and forming the clade of Glires. Most rodents are small animals with robust bodies, short limbs, and long tails."

If not bones and bodies, at the very least there should be evidence of a North American Ape in the fossil record. There are no confirmed Bigfoot bones or fossils, of course, and the skeptics have a point. Biology is a science, and science is based on fact. Without compelling physical evidence no biologist or paleontologist would ever make the claim that Bigfoot does, or did, exist.

"text": "\"Half Dome - Yosemite National Park Bobcat Felis rufus Many of the great American National Parks in the west are covered with a coniferous forest that resembles in many ways the boreal forests of the north (above). Yosemite National Park, for instance, mostly lies at an elevation that is cool enough to select for coniferous trees over deciduous ones. These alpine coniferous forests differ from the boreal coniferous forests of the north, however, in a number of important ways. Usually the slopes are steeper and the ground rockier; while the trees may resemble a boreal forest the undergrowth does not. Mammalian predators in the coniferous forest range from the small, like the bobcat (above right), which feeds on rodents, hares and other small prey, to the Grizzly (right) which is capable of taking down very large prey indeed (although a surprising majority of their diet consists of plant material, often dug from the ground with the help of the mass of muscles that makes up the characteristic hump of the grizzly's back). Much of the meet that grizzlies eat may be scavenged from the carcasses of large herbivores killed by winter conditions or other predators, such as wolves. Reading the journals of Lewis and Clark, the first Europeans to encounter the grizzly, one gets the sense that the members of the Corps of Discovery were being stalked as prey by the grizzlies they encountered. It often took several of the best marksmen in the country, armed with the finest weapons of the time, to stop a single bear. It makes one wonder how Native Americans were able to coexist with these bears. The Spruce Grouse (below) isn't much of a threat to human life."

It measures 1,980 miles (3,190 km) from the headwaters of the Mc Neil River (a tributary of the Nisutlin River). The Yukon discharges into the Bering Sea after flowing northwestward and then generally southwestward through a low plateau that slopes down across Alaska. The main east- and north-bank tributaries are the Teslin, Big Salmon, Pelly, Stewart, Klondike, Porcupine, and Koyukuk; the west- and south-bank tributaries are the Takhini, White, and Tanana. Its headwater tributaries drain an area of about 328,000 square miles (850,000 square km) out of a surrounding semicircle of high mountains. This huge area—larger than Turkey—was occupied solely by North American Indians until the mid-19th century, when peoples of European descent (including explorers from the eastward-expanding Russian Empire) began to move into the region, first as fur traders and then in search of mineral wealth. The discovery of gold on the Klondike in 1896 precipitated an influx of settlement that created an international mythology of romantic frontier existence associated with the name Yukon. Five Finger Rapid on the upper Yukon River in Yukon. E. Otto/Comstock Physical features Physiography and hydrology The Mc Neil headwaters rise in the Pelly Mountains of south-central Yukon territory and flow south into Teslin Lake and thence into the Teslin River.

"title": "http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/northernlights.html\nWhat are the northern lights?",
"text": "\"What are the northern lights? The northern lights, one of several astronomical phenomena called polar lights (aurora polaris), are shafts or curtains of colored light visible on occasion in the night sky. Polar lights ( aurora polaris) are a natural phenomenon found in both the northern and southern hemispheres that can be truly awe inspiring. Northern lights are also called by their scientific name, aurora borealis, and southern lights are called aurora australis. Sten Odenwald, author of The 23rd cycle, learning to live with a stormy star (New York, Columbia University Press, c2001), provides insight to how northern lights are formed: The origin of the aurora begins on the surface of the sun when solar activity ejects a cloud of gas. Scientists call this a coronal mass ejection (CME). If one of these reaches earth, taking about 2 to 3 days, it collides with the Earth’s magnetic field. This field is invisible, and if you could see its shape, it would make Earth look like a comet with a long magnetic ‘tail’ stretching a million miles behind Earth in the opposite direction of the sun. When a coronal mass ejection collides with the magnetic field, it causes complex changes to happen to the magnetic tail region. These changes generate currents of charged particles, which then flow along lines of magnetic force into the Polar Regions."

Does anyone know when is the best time to see these? How long do they last? Also where is the best place to view them? Any help will be greaty appreciated! Thanks :-)Tagged:fishing iceland northernlights location auroraborealis« 1 2 3 »Comments Guest September 2009 edited 12:22PMThe best time to go is over a solstice - so you've missed it for this year. And try to go when there is little or no moon so you get a really dark sky. Clockwork Orange January 2010 edited 12:22PMUnfortunately the Aurora Borealis isn't that predictable, having spent 5 weeks in Iceland and about 4 years in total in Norway, Sweden and Finland, the best time to see this phenomenen is obviously ONLY at night. The Scandinavian winters produce long dark nights and if you are lucky and the sky is crystal clear (usually when it is -15deg C) the light show begins about 02:00 (see MURPHYs LAW). Seriously though in Iceland I was fortunate enough in AUGUST to see the Northern Lights for 5 minutes, Green being the common colour but Pink (rare) and momentarily (blue - very rare), it's a silent mystical experience and your question has reminded me how fortunate I was to have witnessed them at their most spectaculor when I least expected it."

"text": "Sioux Falls, SDWeather Forecast Office Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)Weather.gov > Sioux Falls, SD > Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)Current Hazards Current Conditions Radar Forecasts Rivers and Lakes Climate and Past Weather Local Programs The Aurora Borealis (commonly referred to as the Northern Lights) are the result of interactions between the Sun and Earth's outer atmosphere. The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere counterpart to the Aurora Borealis. What Causes the Aurora? The Sun emits electrically-charged particles called ions, which correspondingly move away from the Sun in a stream of plasma (ionized gas) known as the solar wind. As the plasma comes in contact with the Earth's magnetic field, the ions will be agitated into moving around the Earth. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere (an average of 60-80 miles above the surface), causing the ions to glow. This is the same principal as how a neon sign lights up. As electrons pass through the neon tubing, they glow, thus producing the light in a neon sign. The Aurora are constantly changing and moving in streams of light or curtains, because the process of how the Sun's ionized gas interacts with the Earth's magnetic field is very dynamic. Although harmless to life on Earth, the Aurora can cause power disruptions in satellite communications and in radio/TV broadcasts."

What causes an aurora? When charged particles from the magnetosphere collide with atoms in the earth's upper atmosphere, they absorb extra energy that is expressed as light. As the sun causes hydrogen and helium to fuse, protons and electrons are shot into space. Known as the solar wind, this stream of particles blows past the earth. As they blow past the earth, the earth's lines of magnetism draw the particles toward the north and south magnetic poles, where these lines converge. When the particles arrive in the ionosphere, they collide with gas atoms and emit light. The color of light they emit depends upon the type of gas the particles collide with. Light that is dominated by emissions from atomic oxygen causes a greenish and dark-red glow. Blue light is a result of atomic nitrogen, while purple light is the result of molecular nitrogen."

Here are 6 of the top unique destinations to view the northern lights in Russia: View map1) Murmansk (Kola Peninsula)Murmansk, in the extreme north-west near Finland, enjoys over 40 days of uninterrupted night, making it one of the world’s premier destinations for the Aurora Borealis, and with over 300,000 residents you can enjoy all the cosmopolitan comforts of civilisation amidst the serenity of the Arctic. You can get to Murmansk by train (30h) or flight (2h) from Moscow, what makes this region is easiest to get in order to experience the Northern Lights from late August to May, with the condition that the night temperature is below +10 ° C, so plan your trip for January-February. The Northern Lights is a poorly predicted phenomenon and depends on the magnetic activity of the Sun. In other words, you have to wait and literally “hunt” it, which means it’s worth a week or more to go. You can diversify your vacation in the Kola Peninsula by skiing in the Khibiny Mountains or dog sledding in Kirovsk. Below are our small group and private tours in the region for hunting Northern Lights: Northern Lights Discovery Aurora Borealis: Arctic Winter Magic2) Arkhangelsk There is a general rule for observing the Northern Lights in Arkhangelsk region – the heart of Russian North – the further from the large populated areas, the brighter the “dance of the sky” is.

Quinton/National Geographic/ Getty Images The aurora borealis (the Northern Lights) and the aurora australis (the Southern Lights) have always fascinated mankind, and people even travel thousands of miles just to see the brilliant light shows in the earth's atmosphere. The auroras, both surrounding the north magnetic pole (aurora borealis) and south magnetic pole (aurora australis) occur when highly charged electrons from the solar wind interact with elements in the earth's atmosphere. Solar winds stream away from the sun at speeds of about 1 million miles per hour. When they reach the earth, some 40 hours after leaving the sun, they follow the lines of magnetic force generated by the earth's core and flow through the magnetosphere, a teardrop-shaped area of highly charged electrical and magnetic fields. As the electrons enter the earth's upper atmosphere, they will encounter atoms of oxygen and nitrogen at altitudes from 20 to 200 miles above the earth's surface. The color of the aurora depends on which atom is struck, and the altitude of the meeting. Green - oxygen, up to 150 miles in altitude Red - oxygen, above 150 miles in altitude Blue - nitrogen, up to 60 miles in altitude Purple/violet - nitrogen, above 60 miles in altitude All of the magnetic and electrical forces react with one another in constantly shifting combinations. These shifts and flows can be seen as the auroras \"\"dance,\"\" moving along with the atmospheric currents that can reach 20,000,000 amperes at 50,000 volts. ( In contrast, the circuit breakers in your home will disengage when current flow exceeds 15-30 amperes at 120 volts. )"

The aurora borealis or Northern Lights are seen mainly near the Arctic Circle. The aurora australis or Southern Lights are seen in the southern hemisphere. The light you see comes from photons released by oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere. Energetic particles from the solar wind strike the layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere, ionizing the atoms and molecules. When the ions return to the ground state, energy released as light produces the aurora. Each element releases specific wavelengths, so the colors you see depend on the type of atom that is excited, how much energy it received, and how the wavelengths of light blend with each other."

No, the aurora borealis isn’t disappearing, but it is expected to appear less frequently over the next decade. The northern lights take place on an 11-year solar cycle. Solar activity, including massive solar eruptions, can occur anytime and produce intense aurora, but those eruptions occur erratically and unpredictably. The 11-year cycle creates a period of frequency, but according to Peter Delamere, associate professor of space physics at the Geophysical Institute, we are at the beginning a downward leg of the cycle. This means less frequent northern lights, an effect that will likely last until 2024 or even 2026. But lucky for you, 2015 and 2016 will still provide ample sky shows and there’s still time to see the aurora borealis in all its glory. Here are some prime viewing spots around the world.1.

Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere ( thermosphere / exosphere) due to Earth's magnetic field, where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes.

North of the Arctic Circle in the vast Finnish Lapland, surrounded by towering pines, it’s a surreally beautiful place to experience the aurora borealis, which has been confounding and delighting observers for centuries. Towns across Scandinavia, Alaska, and Canada market the lights as the main attraction, offering experiences for adventurers and luxury travelers alike. It’s so ingrained in Norwegian culture that the government recently opted to add the neon lights to its passports by way of a black light feature. Before the scientific cause of the lights — charged particles from the sun colliding with atoms in Earth’s atmosphere — was understood, local legends provided all sorts of creative explanations. The Inuit people of Greenland, for one, believed the lights came from spirits of ancestors playing soccer with the skull of a walrus. These days, you can rough it like a musher in Greenland, staying in hunting cabins and tending to the dogs, all while hunting the aurora on World of Greenland’s three-day dogsled expedition in Kangerlussuaq. In Churchill, Canada, you can watch the lights dance over a family of polar bears from the comfort of your mobile sleeper car. There’s even a chance to see the northern lights in the continental U. S.: Pennsylvania’s Cherry Springs State Park reported four sightings in 2014 and holds the highest designation given to a dark sky site, from the International Dark-Sky Association, meaning that light pollution in the area is minimal and the full array of sky phenomena (the aurora, faint meteors, zodiacal light) can be seen clearly from the park."

Sometimes the Aurora over Alaska and other auroral zones is barely visible or appears colorless and unmoving. But at other times the auroras can be incredibly bright, multihued and fast moving.

"text": "\"Nursing Theory Definition Theory is defined as \"\"a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action\"\". Nursing theory is \"\"an organized framework of concepts and purposes designed to guide the practice of nursing\"\". The first nursing theories appeared in the late 1800s when a strong emphasis was placed on nursing education. Nursing theories are developed to explain and describe nursing care, guide nursing practice and provide a foundation for clinical decision making. There are many different types of nursing theories. Nursing theories can be divided into \"\"grand theories\"\" that are applicable on a broad scale, \"\"middle-range theories\"\" that apply to a smaller subset of situations and \"\"nursing practice theories\"\" that guide nursing practice. Theories can be further divided into categories including holistic, systems, adaptation and behavioral orientations. Who Develops Nursing Theories? The majority of nursing theories are developed by nurses, but at times other healthcare professionals, such as physicians have provided input into the development of nursing theories. Nurses may develop a theory on their own or in collaboration with other nurses."

"text": "\"I. Introduction Concepts are building blocks for theoretical development (Tomey & Alligood, 2002). A concept analysis provides a clear definition of the selected concept, including its uses, defining attributes, related concepts, and its applicability to the selected discipline (Walker & Avant, 1995). According to Knafl and Deatrick (2000: 39) concept analysis typically “entails synthesizing existing views of a concept and distinguishing it from other concepts’ with the purpose of resolving gaps or inconsistencies in the knowledge base of the discipline. It is one means whereby members of the discipline can define or clarify concepts that relate to their phenomena of interest and make clear their pattern of usage, which in turn can become a precursor of theory and knowledge development, to ultimately improve practice. Thus, concept analysis is concerned with boundary work that guides the discipline and forms the links between research, theory and practice. The concept of reassurance was selected for analysis because of its relevance to practice. It is an overused but little understood concept. Reassurance is frequently mentioned in nursing literature and in nursing practice. However, there is no generally accepted definition of its range of meanings, and some controversy over its therapeutic value. Health care providers always employ the act of “reassuring the patient” but the complexity of the concept made its use to have different outcomes."

[ 2] Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow used the terms \"\"physiological\"\", \"\"safety\"\", \"\"belonging and love\"\", \"\"esteem\"\", \"\"self-actualization\"\", and \"\"self-transcendence\"\" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. The goal of Maslow's Theory is to attain the sixth level or stage: self transcendent needs. [ 3]Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that \"\"the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy.\"\" [ 4]: 236 Maslow studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population. [ 5]Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality. [ 4] The hierarchy remains a very popular framework in sociology research, management training [6] and secondary and higher psychology instruction.

The terminology is often used along with the development of electronic health records, (EHRs) (Cordova et. al., 2010). Other nursing terminologies include the Nursing Outcomes Classification, (NOC) and Standardized Nursing Diagnoses (NANDA). None of the above nursing taxonomies however have been included in a system of health information that considers the entire care that nurses provide to patients. NIC is advantageous over the other terminologies since its link to Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) proves more important because of its ease of comprehensibility and more controlled vocabulary for biomedical sciences (Cordova et. al., 2010). This mapping integrates the NIC with other healthcare disciplines and is used in more than twenty-five countries."

These are the foundations that guide the research. Theory A method of perceiving reality and mapping the complex processes of human action and interaction that affect nursing care. Grand theories The most abstract and complex theories, broadly defining concepts that are central to the nursing profession and linking them together using the theorist's view of the discipline. Middle-range theories Those nursing theories located midway between abstract and concrete theories that are more limited in scope and address specific phenomena or concepts. Microtheories Precise theories that are much narrower in scope and usually related to a particular situation or set of circumstances in nursing practice. The theoretical framework is assessed when reading research to determine the soundness of the following components: ● Study design ● Applicability of the findings ● Potential value to the practice They are considered more testable and more readily generalizable to nursing practice than grand theories Middle-range theories Borrowed theories Theories taken from other disciplines and used as frameworks or models for nursing practice. Shared theories Theories that have been borrowed, tested, and found to be empirically adequate in more than one discipline.

King’s theory explains how the nurse-client relationship can influence goals that are set and their level achievement. King’s conceptual systems lay the foundation for her theory by establishing interacting systems in which humans function. Kings statement of the main premise of her theory: “Theory of Goal Attainment is a theory of nursing [that] deals with phenomena called process and outcomes. The process that is critical, independent variable is mutual goal setting. The theory “defines outcomes in the form of the goals to be attained” поднять ТИЦConceptual Framework: Conceptual Framework Concepts of Conceptual Framework: Concepts of Conceptual Framework Personal Perception, self, growth & development Interpersonal Interaction, communication, transaction, role & stress Social systems Organization, authority, power, status & decision making Concepts of Goal Attainment: Concepts of Goal Attainment Main concepts within King’s theory of goal attainment Self, perception, communication, interaction, transaction, growth and development, stress, time, personal space and role Used to design the model for the nurse-client interaction Mutual goal setting is based on Nurses’ assessment of the client’s concerns, problems, and disturbances in health Nurses’ and client’s perceptions of the interference Sharing information (between nurse and client) whereby each functions to help the client attain the goals identified Transaction Process Model : Transaction Process Model Assumptions : Assumptions Assumptions are based on King’s personal philosophy, that humans are open systems in transaction with the environment King’s assumptions Nursing “Nursing is an observable behavior found in the health care systems in society” Person Spiritual beings, have the capacity to think, make choices and select alternatives, have the ability to record their history, are open systems in transaction the environment, are unique and holistic and that persons differ in their needs, wants and goals Health “Implies continuous adjustment to stress in the internal and external environment through optimum use of one’s resources to achieve maximum potential for daily living” Environment Must understand how humans interact with the environment and its influence on health Influence: Influence Von Bertalanffy general systems theory Focuses on relationships within the world, not individual aspects and his theory emphasized holism Internal Criticism: Internal Criticism Adequacy Addresses the nurse-client interaction Clarity States its main components Provides definitions Confusion Multiple systems and models Consistency Provides & maintains the same definitions for its key concepts Logical Development Has been proven that the nurse-client interaction is a vital component King’s theory explores this relationship Level of Theory Development Middle range theory Utilized within both research & practice External Criticism: External Criticism Complexity 10 major concepts Discrimination Lead to setting measurable goals/outcomes in nursing Relaity Convergence Underlying assumptions about nursing, persons, health and the environment hold true Pragmatic Easily used within the nursing field & influences positive patient outcomes Scope Applicable to all patients 70% communication is nonverbal Significance Explains how nurses can interact with their patients to achieve goals Utility Widely accepted into nursing Viewed within research studies and nursing schools Practice Problem: Practice Problem Applying King’s theory of goal attainment to neonatal intensive care units Work with parents towards setting and attaining goals Application of King’s theory of goal attainment Nurses can work together with parents to attain goals for both them & their infant Conflict: Parent’s often struggle to fulfill their roles in King’s conceptual systems model Allow parents to actively participate Can more readily fill their roles Make informed decisions.

"text": "\"Theories of Psychological Care in Nursing Print Reference this Published: 23rd March, 2015 Last Edited: 4th January, 2018Disclaimer: This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. The best definition of psychosocial care is found in the National Council for Hospice and Specialist (2000) which describe it as \"\"concerned with the psychological and emotional wellbeing of the patients and their families/carers, including issues of self-esteem, insight into an adaption to their illness and its consequences, communication, social functioning and relationships\"\". Psychosocial care theory differs from theory of biomedical care in that the former uses the holistic approach (Sheldon, 1997 and Oliviere et al, 1998) or the diseases, psychology, social and spiritual health of patients whereas the latter care only for patients' physical ill-health. Furthermore, the biomedical model predicts poorer health outcome, psychological distress and poorer daily function, more days spent in bed, and more health professionals visit and surgeries (Sheridan & Radmacher, 1992). Keywords used will be defined to facilitate understanding. The theory of psychosocial care has the following components; firstly, psychology deals with the way the patients use their conscious and subconscious (Freud) is dealt with their emotions, which is their feeling fine tuned throughout their lifespan development, to be aware of their different moods. Then their self-esteem, the patients perceived their self-worth, value themselves, self-respect and self confidence (Barry, 1992 & Niven, 2006), should be respected, hence, make them more confident and themselves. Scherer (2005) referred to emotion and self-esteem as behaviour forming strategies and Emotions are intensified feelings or complex patterns of feelings that one experience when the patients found themselves in a strange environment, giving their intimate information to people they just met moments ago."

Johnson’s Behavioral System Model By Gil Wayne, RN - Sep 22, 2014Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Print Dorothy E. Johnson is well-known for her “Behavioral System Model,” which was first proposed in 1968. Her model was greatly influenced by Florence Nightingale ’s book, Notes on Nursing. It advocates the fostering of efficient and effective behavioral functioning in the patient to prevent illness and stresses the importance of research-based knowledge about the effect of nursing care on patients.

Thus, nursing had an explicit goal of action in patient welfare. The goals of nursing are fourfold, according to the Behavior System Model: (1) To assist the patient whose behavior is proportional to social demands. ( 2) To assist the patient who is able to modify his behavior in ways that it supports biological imperatives. ( 3) To assist the patient who is able to benefit to the fullest extent during illness from the physician’s knowledge and skill."

"text": "\"LEININGER'S THEORY OF CULTURE CAREN207 AY 2011 - 2012GROUP CINTRODUCTIONDonnabelle Allauigan and Ericka Sarmiento In an ever-changing world, society tends to become increasingly diverse, in terms of behaviors, values beliefs and norms. With constant internal and environmental stimuli, such behaviors, values, beliefs and norms develop overtime which creates a mark in the mind of every individual, and is observed through social practices, religious structures and artistic expression. The end result of such change is what we recognize now as culture. Culture directs an individual’s thinking, doing and being. Within the context of nursing practice, cultural backgrounds can influence views on health and well-being and illness, which in turn might have an effect on their perceptions on healthcare and healthcare outcomes. Due to the recurrent concerns regarding the challenges encountered in the care for culturally diverse patients, transcultural care has become an important aspect of health care. Nowadays the goal of the medical system is to provide optimal and holistic care for all patients, to be culturally competent is an ingredient in order to accomplish quality care and health outcomes. The need for clinicians to become more sensitive to cultural differences and gain an understanding of transcultural concepts has been repeatedly stressed by Leininger (1988) and is the aim of this piece of writing. Our group hails from diverse locations and is working in different parts of not only the Philippines, but also of the world. With different upbringings and different customs that we grew up with and encounter on a daily basis as nurses, we chose Madeleine Leininger, who was a pioneer in her time, as our nursing theorist."

"text": "Introduction Below are the definitions of the major concepts in the theory, which correlate with the diagram above. Health Care Needs are those identified by the patient/family in a particular practice setting. Intervening Variables are those factors that are not likely to change and over which providers have little control (such as prognosis, financial situation, extent of social support, etc). Comfort is an immediate desirable outcome of nursing care, according to Comfort Theory. Additionally, when comfort interventions are delivered consistently over time, they are correlated with a trend toward increased comfort levels over time (the first part of Coomfort Theory), with desired health seeking behaviors (HSBs), and with improved institutional outcomes. Health Seeking Behavior (HSBs): The concept of HSBs was first introduced by Scholtfeldt (1975). HSBs can be internal (healing, immune function, number of T cells, etc. ), external (health related activities, functional outcomes, etc. ), or a peaceful death. The relationships between comfort and health seeking behaviors are entailed in the second part of Kolcaba's comfort theory."

What are scientific theories, anyway? Is the definition of a theory different in the scientific community? Outside of science, the definition of a theory is a thought that may or may not be true. In the science community, a scientific theory is defined as a hypothesis or a group of hypotheses about some phenomena that have been supported through research using the scientific method. A hypothesis is basically an educated guess. For instance, a scientist observes something happening repeatedly over time, and a question or a group of questions begin to be formed."

Frozen Blueberriesby SARA IPATENCO Oct. 03, 2017Blueberries grow wild in the forests of the United States and Canada, but are also available in fresh and frozen versions in most supermarkets and health food markets. This fruit is rich in antioxidants, which help protect your body from cellular damage that can lead to disease. Fresh blueberries are in season during spring and summer months, but you can enjoy this berry during the fall and winter when you choose a frozen variety. Compare the nutrition information between fresh and frozen blueberries to help determine which ones have a place in your healthy eating plan. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Fiber and Protein Blueberries, whether fresh or frozen, are a low-calorie and nutrient-dense source of dietary fiber. The average diet does not include adequate amounts of fiber, and adding a daily serving of blueberries can help you increase your intake. Fiber benefits your digestive health and may also help prevent certain chronic health conditions, such as cancer. A 1 cup serving of fresh blueberries contains 3.6 g of fiber, while and a 1 cup serving of frozen blueberries has 4.2 g of fiber. The same servings also provide small amounts of energy-supplying protein."

"text": "\"Blueberries Updated by: Gina Marzolo, graduate student of Agricultural Sciences, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, [email protected], July 2015. By Malinda Geisler, content specialist, Ag Marketing Resource Center, Iowa State University. Introduction Blueberries are native to North America and were first cultivated for sale in 1916 (USHBC, 2014). The United States is the world’s largest producer of blueberries (FAOSTAT, 2013). In 2014, a total of 667.6 million pounds of cultivated and wild blueberries were produced and utilized (NASS, 2015). Marketing Channels Whether cultivated, wild, fresh or frozen, blueberries are full of essential nutrients and fiber, and are high in antioxidants (ARS, 2014). One way to add value to either fresh or processed blueberry products is to state these health benefits on the packaging (as long as the statements are scientifically based and align with regulatory guidelines) (University of Kentucky – Extension, 2011). In 2014, average market prices for cultivated fresh blueberries were $1.93 per pound and processed blueberry prices were $0.78 per pound. The average market price for fresh and processed wild blueberries was $0.60 per pound (NASS, 2015). Prices received for fresh berries are often higher, but they are quick to perish, and therefore must be handled gently and sold quickly."

Superfoodly June 15, 2017112SHARESFacebook Twitter You can’t buy them everywhere but being that we’re based in Southern California, we’re very knowledgeable when it comes to these delicious purple fruit concoctions!Growing up in the Midwest, an ice cream sundae would be the typical summer afternoon or evening treat. For us, ice cream has now been replaced with the acai bowl which is vegan and usually gluten free, but are their health benefits over-hyped? The truth is they can be downright bad for your health if you’re not careful. It’s not that acai is a scam (it really is a superfood). It’s that the juice from it may not be as nutritious as you think. Antioxidant content debunked The berries come from the acai palms, found mostly in wetlands and floodplains throughout Brazil, Trinidad, and northern South America. Why is the acai berry good for you – or more accurately said – why do people think it’s healthy? Because of the antioxidants, of course. Though if you press a person for further details on that, they probably can’t tell you how acai vs. blueberries compare, or to any other food for that matter."

Extremely high in antioxidants, berries are among my favorite foods. In no specific order, these are berries that are extremely high health benefits: Berries You Should Eat Every Day1. Goji Berries Sometimes called Chinese Wolfberry or Mede Berry, traditional societies link this potent berry to sexual vitality, happiness, longevity, and overall physical strength. Grown in Tibet and Nepal, goji berries have been scientifically linked to possessing the ability to fight negative health conditions and protect the liver from contaminates. Deep red in color, goji berries are composed of 18 essential amino acids, 21 trace minerals, vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E, linoleic acid, selenium, germanium, and more beta carotene than the common carrot. A study from the Chinese Journal of Oncology found that patients with cancer responded better to treatment when goji berries were added to their daily diet.2. Blueberries The blueberry is an antioxidant powerhouse. That deep blue color is related to high amounts of phytonutrients called anthocyanidins [ 1]. These phytonutrients aid in the process of neutralizing free radical damage in our cells."

Blueberries are a powerhouse of nutritional benefits. Consuming blueberries may help slow the aging process, promote a healthy immune system, prevent bone loss, aid in learning performance and help protect against cancer. While blueberries are small in size, they offer numerous beneficial nutrients for a small number of calories. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Calories in One Cup In a one-cup serving of raw blueberries, you will consume 84 calories. Based on the percent daily value found on the nutrition label, the calories in blueberries supply 4 percent of your daily caloric needs based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower, depending on your personal caloric needs. Total Fat, Protein and Carbohydrates Blueberries have less than half a gram of fat and only one gram of protein per one-cup serving. The majority of calories in a cup of blueberries comes from its carbohydrate content. One cup of blueberries contains 21 grams of carbohydrates, including 3.6 grams of dietary fiber."

The American Heart Association suggests consuming between 50 g and 70 g of total fat per day, and no more than 16 g of saturated fat, to reduce the risk of heart disease. Costco chocolate muffins are also high in carbohydrates with 79 g total, and 48 g coming from sugar. They each contain only 3 g of dietary fiber, which is a nutrient that helps you feel full.

They are among the fruits and vegetables richest in health-promoting antioxidants, which protect our cells from free-radical damage. Cranberries are often on my shopping list for many reasons, including their ability to reduce bodywide inflammation, boost immunity and more. The disease-fighting antioxidants found in cranberries outrank many other fruits and vegetables, including strawberries, spinach, broccoli and red grapes. This amazing fruit, which is sold fresh, frozen and dried, is commonly used in products like juices, sauces, jellies, baked goods and teas. Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls, an they are also an excellent source of many important vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin C, manganese and fiber. As you’re about to see, the health benefits of cranberries are incredible. Top Benefits of Cranberries The top six cranberry benefits are that the cranberry: Prevents and Treats Urinary Tract Infections Decreases Inflammation May Help Prevent Cancers Improves Immune Function Benefits the Digestive Tract Reduces Risk of Heart Disease1. Prevents and Treats Urinary Tract Infections Cranberries are perhaps most widely known for helping to prevent or treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

"text": "\"What Are Blueberries Good For?41Disponible en Español The Buzz on Blueberries Botanical name: Vaccinium corybosum Blueberries are distinctive in so many ways. Not only are they the only blue food, but there are also more blueberry species native to North America – the main ones being highbush, lowbush, and rabbiteye – than any other continent. They've been abundant on the North American continent since the dawn of time, and were a staple in the Native American diet. When the first colonists arrived, they were shown how to gather blueberries, dry them in the sun, store them for winter, and perpetuate their growth. Today, the North American blueberry industry ships more than 500 metric tons of fresh blueberries to Japan every year, and over 100 metric tons to Iceland. Because they're a warm-weather crop, fresh blueberries are now enjoyed all year on nearly every continent. Cultivated blueberries are usually mild and sweet, while wild varieties are more tart. However, both earn blue ribbons for the nutritional benefits they provide. The best way to freeze blueberries is to first spread them on a cookie sheet, unwashed and in a single layer, freeze them, and then place in a freezer bag. This keeps them from clumping together and absorbing unwanted moisture."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Blueberries Due to widely publicized research on red wine, many people are familiar with a phytonutrient called resveratrol. This antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrient belongs to a group of substances called stilbenoids. While resveratrol is especially concentrated in red wine due to its presence in the skin of red grapes, it is also found in other foods—including blueberries—although typically in much smaller amounts. However, resveratrol is not the only stilbenoid found in the foods we eat, and researchers now know that alongside of resveratrol in blueberries is another stilbenoid called pterostilbene. ( Pterostilbene is also present in grape plants, but it is found primarily in the vine portion of the plants rather than the grapes themselves.) Recent studies have shown that pterostilbene displays many of the same properties as resveratrol: it not only acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, but it also has antidiabetic, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and chemopreventive (anti-cancer) properties. But what has been most exciting in recent studies has been the discovery of better bioavailability of pterostilbene than resveratrol in some foods, including blueberries. One study has shown that once absorbed pterostilbene spends as much as five times longer in our body before being metabolized into other compounds. This longer-lasting nature of pterostilbene may give it more time to provide us with its many health benefits. And since few commonly eaten foods are as rich in pterostilbene as blueberries, we may be looking at a fruit that is even more unique than previously believed in terms of its ability to support our health."

"text": "Like a number of “superfruits”, cherries boast a formidable antioxidant content. However, it appears that they may have more specific health benefits to offer in a number of very promising growth areas, such as sports nutrition, pain management and combating sleeplessness. Cherries more dynamic than blueberries and cranberries Cherries are enjoying a surge in popularity. Euromonitor International’s fresh food statistics show that global volume sales of fresh cherries rose by 17% over the 2006-2011 review period, outperforming other high-end fresh fruit “treats” like strawberries and grapes. In 2011, cherries emerged as the second most dynamic fresh fruit category, achieving a 4% volume gain, ahead of cranberries/blueberries. Global volume sales of cherries amounted to 1.3 million tonnes in 2011, which was only marginally below that of cranberries/blueberries and less than half of the volumes achieved by strawberries. Although an ongoing hit with consumers, the market for fresh cherries remains constrained by both seasonality and a short shelf life. Unlike some types of berries, such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, which are also highly perishable but whose seasonality can be artificially prolonged, for example through the use of polytunnels, cherries only manage to make a comparatively short-lived annual appearance. Luckily, in order to enjoy the taste and health benefits of cherries, consumers are not limited to eating them in their fresh state, but can resort to frozen, dried and powdered formats as well as drinking cherry juice. Needless to say, this inherent versatility is good news for a range of players engaged in the health and wellness industry."

It shows you how to quickly isolate each error, and then provides the information you need to resolve the underlying issue that caused the particular error message. On This Page Introduction Methodology TCP/IP Connectivity HTTP Connectivity Conclusion Introduction When an application is unable to connect to a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Analysis Services instance, the error message that is returned may help you isolate and then resolve the problem. However, error messages do not always provide you with sufficient information to resolve the problem. Also, the same error message can be generated by multiple underlying problems. Furthermore, the error messages generated by different applications for the same problem are different; in this paper you will discover that using a secondary application may help you isolate the source of the connectivity problem. Finally, information in the application log and in trace files can also expedite the problem resolution process. Note For issues related to administrator connectivity to SQL Server 2005 from Windows® Vista™, see How to: Connect to SQL Server from Windows Vista in SQL Server Books Online. Note In general, this article assumes that you have applied SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on the Analysis Services instance and on each client computer. For the purposes of this article, the following client applications were used to demonstrate a range of error messages that the reader might see in their own environment and to illustrate the different types of error messages you can receive from the same underlying problem: SQL Server Management Studio UDL file Microsoft Excel® 2007Microsoft Excel 2003Simple Sample ADOMD Client Access application."

Finance departments use OLAP for applications such as budgeting, activity-based costing (allocations), financial performance analysis, and financial modeling. Sales departments use OLAP for sales analysis and forecasting. Marketing departments use OLAP for market research analysis, sales forecasting, promotions analysis, customer analysis, and market/customer segmentation. Typical manufacturing OLAP applications include production planning and defect analysis. Important to all of these applications is the ability to provide managers the information that they need to make effective decisions about an organization's strategic directions. A successful OLAP application provides information as needed; that is, it provides “just-in-time” information for effective decision-making. Providing such information requires more than a base level of detailed data. Just-in-time information is computed data that usually reflects complex relationships and is often calculated on the fly. Analyzing and modeling complex relationships are practical only if response times are consistently short."

"text": "\"The information you must publish is often derived from data in various corporate data sources. These data sources may be SQL-based (relational databases) or non-SQL-based, such as XML, and OLAP. Often, you must combine data from one or more of these data sources to publish meaningful information. For example, you may need to combine data that exists in a relational database with data from a multidimensional database to compare trends and performance. Oracle Reports enables you to leverage capabilities, such as aggregation, summarization, formatting, and scheduling, on data from any data source. You can leverage the pluggable data source (PDS) architecture to connect to your own data source, as well as to the data sources available with Oracle Reports (XML, JDBC, Text, and OLAP). Valid XML files have a document type definition (DTD) or XML schema and strictly adhere to it. XML files can come from any source. However, Oracle provides you with a number of utilities and methods to convert different types of data to XML data files and their DTD or schema. The elements in your XML data file (data source) must follow the same sequence and format of elements specified in the DTD or XML schema file."

One of the most common quality standards is the ISO 9000 quality management standard and many companies seek ISO 9000 certification in today’s highly competitive market. However, in getting this certification, most companies face difficulties, such as the high amount of paperwork, improper documentation, poor communication among employees and project participants, and low employee morale as a result of lack of motivation. In this study, a web-based office automation system was developed. Web facilities and the database management capabilities of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 were applied to create a data warehouse that was aimed to reduce paperwork, create a proper documentation system, improve communication, and calculate employee performances, in order to create a motivation system for company personnel. Short-term feedback of the practical implementation of the system demonstrated its practicality and advantages, and the positive view of the managers. Also, it is anticipated that long-term feedbacks would also prove its appropriateness and ease of use.

A multidimensional cube for reporting sales might be, for example, composed of 7 Dimensions: Salesperson, Sales Amount, Region, Product, Region, Month, Year. OLAP Cube Advantages The arrangement of data into Cubes overcomes a limitation of relational databases, which are not well suited for near instantaneous analysis and display of large amounts of data. Instead, they are better suited for creating records from a series of transactions known as OLTP or On-Line Transaction Processing. Although many report-writing tools exist for relational databases, these are slow when the whole database must be summarized, and present great difficulties when users wish to re-orient reports or analyses according to different, multidimensional perspectives, aka, Slices. The use of Cubes facilitate this kind of fast end-user interaction with data An OLAP Cube can be thought of as an extension of the modeling structure provided by a spreadsheet, which accommodates data in rows and columns–i.e., a two-dimensional array of data. A Cube can accommodate any number of arrays, or Dimensions, though designers of OLAP Cubes will try to build models that balance user needs and logical model limitations."

"text": "\"What is Data Analysis and Data Mining? Jan 7, 2011Lynn Greiner Tweet The exponentially increasing amounts of data being generated each year make getting useful information from that data more and more critical. The information frequently is stored in a data warehouse, a repository of data gathered from various sources, including corporate databases, summarized information from internal systems, and data from external sources. Analysis of the data includes simple query and reporting, statistical analysis, more complex multidimensional analysis, and data mining. Data analysis and data mining are a subset of business intelligence (BI), which also incorporates data warehousing, database management systems, and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). The technologies are frequently used in customer relationship management (CRM) to analyze patterns and query customer databases. Large quantities of data are searched and analyzed to discover useful patterns or relationships, which are then used to predict future behavior. Some estimates indicate that the amount of new information doubles every three years. To deal with the mountains of data, the information is stored in a repository of data gathered from various sources, including corporate databases, summarized information from internal systems, and data from external sources. Properly designed and implemented, and regularly updated, these repositories, called data warehouses, allow managers at all levels to extract and examine information about their company, such as its products, operations, and customers' buying habits."

"text": "Spread the word February 17, 2014 by Amyn Rajan As SAP HANA gains more and more traction in the marketplace, a lot of people have questions about the MDX query language capability in HANA. First, some background on the MDX query language. The MDX query language was part of the OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO) specification that Microsoft introduced in 1997. MDX was supposed to be a SQL like language for multidimensional or OLAP data. OLE DB for OLAP was supposed to be the OLAP extension for the OLE DB specification that Microsoft had introduced a few years earlier. At the time, there was no clear standards for OLAP access to data so Microsoft was trying to unify things like they did with ODBC. Microsoft continued to update the ODBO specification until 1999. Then, in 2001, Microsoft introduced XML for Analysis (XMLA). XMLA was supposed to be the web services and XML type interface to succeed ODBO. The XMLA specification did not include an update to the MDX query language specification."

Lutheranism Signature Grand Ducal Family of Hesse and by Rhine Louis IVChildren Victoria, Marchioness of Milford Haven Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna of Russia Irene, Princess Heinrich of Prussia Ernest Louis Prince Friedrich Alexandra Feodorovna, Empress of Russia Princess Mariev t e Alexandra Feodorovna (6 June 1872 – 17 July 1918) was Empress of Russia as the spouse of Nicholas II —the last ruler of the Russian Empire —from their marriage on 26 November 1894 until he was forced to abdicate on 15 March 1917. Originally Alix of Hesse and by Rhine at birth, she was given the Christian name and patronymic Alexandra Feodorovna upon being received into the Russian Orthodox Church and—having been put to death along with her immediate family while in Bolshevik captivity in 1918—was canonized in 2000 as Saint Alexandra the Passion Bearer. A granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, Alexandra was, like her grandmother, one of the most famous royal carriers of the haemophilia disease. Her reputation for influencing her husband's resistance to the surrender of autocratic authority over the country and her known faith in the Russian mystic, Grigori Rasputin, severely damaged her popularity and that of the Romanov monarchy in its final years.

Peter First Appearance Last Appearance Wonder Woman Vol 2 #126 ( October, 1997) Wonder Woman #611 ( July, 2011)Contents [ show]History Post-Crisis Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Giganta was given a new origin. She was Dr. Doris Zuel who was suffering from a fatal blood disease. In a desperate bid to save herself, Zuel planned to transfer her life-essence into the body of Wonder Woman, who was in a coma and being kept at the experimental medical facility where Zuel worked. [ 1] Unfortunately for Zuel, the experiment was only halfway through and was interrupted by Wonder Girl, in which Zuel was declared dead. Subsequently Zuel's assistant, Branson, discovered Zuel's essence had been stored in the transference machine's buffer module, and put her in the body of one of the test animals, a gorilla named Giganta. Desperate to return her mind to a human body, Zuel/Giganta abducted a comatose, beautiful red-haired 'strong woman' named Olga from a traveling circus. She apparently succeeded in transferring her mind into Olga's body, and most likely, Olga's mind into the body of the gorilla (although the fate of Olga, the gorilla, and Zuel's original body have never been revealed). Giganta now possesses the ability to grow to gigantic size - Olga already possessed this power when Zuel stole her body. [ 2] The source of the ability is unknown, though it may stem from the shaman who placed Olga in a coma prior to Giganta's attack. Whatever the case, the ability appears to be mystical in nature, as Giganta has been shown aligned with the forces of magic."

The zircons evolved very soon after the planet was formed. These ancient features compare with the oldest known rock on Earth in northwestern Canada. Scientists say that rock was formed 4031 million years ago. Some areas of Victoria and Queensland are geologically much younger as a result of volcanic activity which last erupted a few thousand years ago. Australia's youngest mainland volcano is Mount Gambier in South Australia which last erupted only about 6000 years ago. In recent years, the advent of improved technology and more extensive geological exploration has resulted in a greater knowledge of the age of rocks in Australia. It has resulted also in an increased ability to better understand the continent's past. This has been achieved by combining exploration methods such as deep seismic surveys with geochronology methods, including use of equipment such as the Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe, or SHRIMP. This equipment uses uranium and lead isotopes from tiny portions of zircon crystals which have been extracted from rock samples to calculate the age of the crystal based on the natural decay rate of uranium to lead."

"text": "\"Federal Standard Per Diem Rates for FY 2016 Released Author: Alice Gilman August 25, 2015The General Services Administration (GSA) has announced the per diem rates that apply to the lower 48 Continental United States (CONUS) for the federal government's fiscal year (FY) 2016, which begins October 1, 2015. Per diem rates are flat dollar amounts and are the maximum allowances federal employees are reimbursed for expenses incurred while on official travel. However, any employer may use these rates to reimburse an employee who travels away from home overnight, in lieu of reimbursing his or her actual expenses. For an employer in the private sector, per diem allowances that are equal to or less than the federal rates for the locality of travel are excluded from an employee's taxable income. In addition, an employee who receives a per diem allowance does not need to submit substantiation for the expenses covered by the allowance. The employee, however, must continue to substantiate the time, place, and business purpose of his or her travel. Per diem allowances that exceed the federal rates are treated as taxable wages subject to employment taxes to the extent of the difference between the allowance and the federal rate. The CONUS per diem allowance for an area has three components: a lodging allowance, a meals allowance and an incidental expense allowance (M&IE). Most of the CONUS (approximately 2600 counties) are covered by the standard CONUS per diem rate of $140 ($89 lodging, $51 meals and incidental expenses). This is an overall $11 increase from the FY 2015 rates of $83 and $46, respectively."

"text": "\"Benefits Paycheck Chronicles Temporary Lodging Allowances10 Jun 2012 By Kate Horrell Every time we make a BIG move, I double check to make sure that I understand Temporary Lodging Entitlement (TLE)/Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA.). Frankly, I'm not always sure that the people who calculate it understand it properly. I am sure that was improperly applied on one of our moves. With a another overseas PCS this summer, this seemed like a good time to refresh my knowledge of the system. TLE and TLA are very similar programs that help to reimburse servicemembers for extra expenses incurred while they are moving between permanent duty stations (PDS) in a permanent change of station (PCS) move. There are a few variables to plug in, but the formula itself is simple. TLE is the program used for any accomodation that is inside the continental United States (CONUS) and TLA is the program used for any accomodation that is outside the continental United States. ( OCONUS) In a single PCS move, you may be eligible for either TLE or TLA, or both. In general, you are permitted 10 days TLE in conjunction with a move between CONUS duty stations, and five days for a move between CONUS and OCONUS (though you may also be eligible for TLA). The amount of TLA permitted in association with a OCONUS move will vary based upon your location, but rarely exceeds 60 days . ("

The rates are effective for travel undertaken on or after October 1, 2014. Instead of paying or reimbursing employees for their actual lodging, meal and incidental expenses, employers may pay employees a per diem allowance - a flat amount for every day they travel on business. Per diems include separate components for hotels (lodging) and for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE). Employers may substantiate allowable expenses using the GSA per diem rates for travel to CONUS locations, so long as employees substantiate the time, place and business purpose of the expense.

Most Rates Unchanged For fiscal year 2015, most of the rates are unchanged from 2014. The standard CONUS lodging rate remains $83. The six M&IE rates are also unchanged: $46, $51, $56, $61, $66 and $71. For all locations within CONUS not shown on the list, the lodging per diem rate is $83 and the M&IE rate is $46."

"text": "\"Benefits Paycheck Chronicles Taxable and Non-taxable Allowances14 Mar 2010 By Kate Horrell I've noticed some questions on Yahoo answers about which allowances are taxable and which are not. Because allowances can make up a large part of total income, the tax status of allowances is a big deal to military families. A non-taxable $2500 housing allowance is worth a lot more than a corresponding $2500 increase in pay would be. At the current time, the only taxable allowance is CONUS COLA, the Cost of Living Allowance paid to people who living in certain expensive parts of the continental United States. Anything else that is considered an allowance is non-taxable. By federal law, all new allowances created after 1986 will be taxable. However, that law doesn't seem to have been followed very well. There was an allowance created (and later eliminated) after 1986 that was non-taxable. We shall see what happens if any new allowances are created in the future. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) - non-taxable Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) - non-taxable Clothing Allowance - non-taxable Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), within the US (CONUS) - taxable Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), outside the continental US (OCONUS) - non-taxable Dislocation Allowance (DLA) - non-taxable Family Separation Allowance (FSA) - non-taxable Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance - non-taxable Mileage In Lieu of Transportation (MALT) - non-taxable Move In Housing Allowance (MIHA) - non-taxable Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) - non-taxable Per Diem - non-taxable Temporary Housing Allowance (TLA) used in conjunction with an overseas move - non-taxable Temporary Housing Expense (TLE) used in conjunction with a move within the continental United States -non-taxable Please let me know if you see any errors or omissions."

To aid in tax planning and reporting: the United States State Department provides per diem rates for the contiguous 48 states (plus the District of Columbia) for meals, lodging and other travel expenses. These rates are deductible on IRS federal tax forms. The IRS used to provide these rates, however several years ago, started to use the rates from the State Department, which is the rates that the the Department uses to reimburse its employees. What is interesting is that the rates have been a little higher than when the IRS used to determine them …. so we have eliminated a double standard here! We now can use the same rates that the government uses with its employees. Lodging Per Diem Rate Deductionsare only allowed at the corporate level and will show on the employee’s W2 as taxable income. The employee will then deduct what they actually spent on their business lodging on Schedule A, Misc. Employee Expense Deductions."

"text": "Money PCS & Relocation Dislocation Allowance in a PCSMilitary.com The purpose of Dislocation Allowance (DLA) is to partially reimburse a servicemember, with or without dependents, for the expenses incurred in relocating the member's household on a PCS, housing moves ordered for the Government's convenience, or incident to an evacuation. This allowance is in addition to all other allowances and may be paid in advance. The amount varies by rank and family status. Normally you can receive DLA only one time per fiscal year. It is important to keep in mind that DLA is intended to partially reimburse relocation expenses not otherwise reimbursed and probably will not reimburse all of your relocation expenses. A member who has no dependents and who is assigned to government quarters (including a ship) at the new PCS location is not entitled to any DLA. National Guard and Reserve servicemembers coming on or leaving active duty are not eligible for DLA. The exception to this if you come on active duty for more than 20 weeks at one location and are authorized PCS allowances (not TDY allowances) and you move your dependents from your home to your new PDS or a designated place. You are also not authorized DLA on your separation or retirement from active duty service. Dislocation allowances change every year, the current rate information can be found on the Do D Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee website."

"text": "\"ACCOUNTING & AUDITHow Per Diem Rates Can Simplify Travel Expense Reportingby Ken Berry, CPA Practice Advisor Tax Correspondent On Sep 23, 2014| Share| Share| Share| Share [This is part of a series of articles on protectingdeductions for travel and entertainment (T&E) expenses. ] The IRS has just announced new federal per diem travel rates for Fiscal Year 2015 (FY 2015), which spans October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. Unlike many other previous years, when per diem rates were typically bumped up just a dollar or two or not at all, the rate for high-cost areas was boosted by $8, while the low-cost area rate increased by $2 (IRS Notice 2014-57). These per diem rates are the ones established by General Service Administration (GSA) for travel by federal government employees, but regular employers can use them too. This enables employers and employees to account for business travel expenses without all the usual recordkeeping hassles. Here’s how it works: Prior to the start of the tax year, the GSA sets the applicable per diem rates for destinations for the 48 states in the continental U. S and the District of Columbia (the so-called \"\"CONUS\"\" rates); for areas outside the continental United States (Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U. S. possessions (known as the \"\"OCONUS\"\" rates); and for foreign countries. In addition to the standard rates for specific destinations, certain high-cost areas are specified (see chart). All the other destinations are treated as low-cost areas if this high-low alternative is used. For FY 2015, the per diem rate for high-cost areas is $259, (up from $251 in FY 2014), consisting of $194 for lodging and $65 for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE). The per-diem for all other localities is $172 (up from $170 in FY 2014), consisting of $120 for lodging and $52 for M&IE."

Background As long as employees properly account for their business-travel expenses under an employer’s accountable plan, reimbursements are generally tax-free to the employees and deductible by the employer. But keeping track of actual costs can be a logistical nightmare. With the government-approved per diem rates, employees don’t have to keep receipts for all of their travel expenses. So, employees and employers alike often prefer this recordkeeping shortcut. Here’s how the per diem method works: Assuming that the travel qualifies as a business expense, the employer simply pays the employee the per diem allowance designated for the specific travel destination and deducts the per diem paid. The employee doesn’t have to report the payments on his or her personal tax return but still must substantiate the time, place and business purpose of the travel."

"text": "Most Interesting Guinness World Records Cats The Guinness Book of World Records is a yearly publication that reports an array of record-setting events, people, places and pets. The first edition of these intriguing books was published in Great Britain in 1955. If you are a cat owner or just have a love for felines, you may find the following Guinness World Records quite interesting: Guinness Book of World Records Smallest Cat, oldest cat on records, world’s heaviest, longest cat, loudest purr and meet the first “bionic” cat. Guinness Book of World Records Smallest Cat According to Guinness World Records, the smallest cat in the world was a female blue-point Himalayan by the name of Tinker Toy. Tinker Toy lived with her owners in Taylorville, Illinois and was only two and 3/4 inches tall and weighed just one and a half pounds full grown. Unfortunately, it is reported that she died at six years old in November, 1997. Oldest Cat on Record The oldest cat of all time on record was a female named Creme Puff who lived with her owner in Austin, Texas. Creme Puff was born in 1967 and lived three days past her 38th birthday in August of 2005. The oldest living cat on record is a female named Pinky who lives with her owners in Hoyt, Kansas. Pinky was born in 1989 making her 24 years old today."

The Liger ( Panthera leo × Panthera tigris) is the largest and heaviest living member of the Felidae (cat) family The informal term \"\" big cat \"\" is typically used to refer to any of the four largest (living) members of the entire Panthera genus. Among the five total species within the Panthera genus, these four are the only cats that are able to roar. [ 1] In descending order of their maximum potential size, these four species are: tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards, with the tiger ( Panthera tigris) being the largest. [ 1] A more liberal and expansive definition is sometimes used which may include the snow leopard, puma, clouded leopard, Sunda clouded leopard and/or cheetah, although these added species do not roar. [ 1]Despite enormous differences in size, various species of cat are quite similar in both structure and behaviour, with the exception of the cheetah, which significantly stands out from the other big and small cats. All cats are carnivores and efficient apex predators. [ 2] Their range includes the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

"text": "Cat FAQs Cats What Is the Average Lifespan of a Cat? By Adrienne Kruzer, RVTUpdated 02/12/18Share Pin Email Cats may not live as long as some people but they can still live into their 20's or even 30's. Westend61 / Getty Images Cats can live a long time. The average lifespan of a cat is about 15 years, so they often outlive most of our pet dogs. A teenage cat, or even one in their twenties, is not uncommon to see, but many factors can play a role in determining how long your cat might live. History of Domesticated Cats Cats have been kept as pets for thousands of years. They originate from the Near East countries where they were domesticated from wild cats to help control rodent populations. These cats spread throughout the world as pets and we eventually started selectively breeding them for specific traits, thus creating different breeds. The primary cat breeds were originally bred using cats from four major regions; the Arabian Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, South Asia, and Western Europe. These four regions have produced cats that have different genetic markers based on what region, or race, they are from."

"text": "10 Guinness World Record Holding Cats Tiffany Raiford + 3 years ago Cats are super cool, and those that break world records get to be just a little bit cooler than the rest. These 10 cats get to go down in history as being some of the most special cats in the world, and that’s not a title that just anyone can earn. These cats are long, short, loud, small, hairy and so much more. It takes a lot of work and commitment to find cats that meet the criteria used to break records, and each of these – all from the United States with the exception of one – managed to do just that. Read on to see which cats are Guinness World Record holders and for what. The Shortest Cat Around As of 2013, a cat by the name of Lilieput is the shortest cat alive. She’s 5.25 inches tall and that makes her very little. She is, not surprisingly, a munchkin cat by nature – not just because she is, well, a munchkin. She was just over 9-years-old when she was given the title of shortest cat alive by the people at Guinness, so she’s probably still alive provided she was in good health when she was given the title. Smallest Cat in the World Tinker Toy is a Himalyan-Persian mix, and that’s what makes his title so surprising."

"text": "Aging may be a natural life process but for our animal friends, it’s more often a curse: predators pick out the slow, weak and old for an easier kill. As pampered pets and protected in zoos, however, animals have a much greater chance of reaching ages simply not possible in the wild. These 10 “grand paws” lead the senior circuit with the most golden years. Oldest Rabbit – 18+ Years (images via: Gomestic, Looney Tunes and Talking Squid)According to the House Rabbit Society, rabbits kept indoors may expect to live from 6 to 8 years and rabbits kept outdoors in hutches typically enjoy shorter lifespans, probably due to environmental factors. Though there are a number of notable rabbits who have lived upwards of 14 years, the longest-lived rabbit so far recorded was a wild rabbit caught on August 6th, 1964, in Tasmania, Australia. Subsequently named Flopsy and kept as a pet, the rabbit lived a further 18 years and 10.75 months making his/her actual age at passing on very close to 19 years. ( images via: Boston.com, Readers Digest and World Records Academy)The Guinness Book of Records has handed out framed certificates for the “Oldest Living Rabbit” from time to time; an odd practice considering the length of the so-called record would change by the day until the rabbit died – at which point it would no longer be a Living Rabbit. Examples include, from above left going clockwise: 14-year-old George, 15- to 16-year old Heather, and 16-year-old Hazel. Oldest Spider – 28 Years (images via: American Tarantula Society, I, Trudge and My Interests)Insects are among the shortest-lived of all creatures, some only surviving a day or so after achieving their adult stage. Spiders aren’t insects but as Arthropods they share many traits with them."

"text": "Q. How do I determine the age of my cat? A. Except in young cats, determining the age of a cat is an 'educated guess,' at best. The age of kittens up to 4 months of age can be determined by which temporary and permanent teeth are present. Using radiographs (x-rays), the presence or absence of growth areas of the bones in kittens under 6 months of age can help determine a more exact age. Radiographs are rarely taken for this purpose, however. In older cats, age is generally estimated by the wear on the teeth. Unfortunately, this can be influenced by the breed of the cat, the cat's diet, the shape and positioning of the jaws, and the amount of dental care the cat has received. Cat years in human terms We often want to think about the age of our cat in human terms. We cannot necessarily say one cat year equals so many human years, since the comparison changes with the age of the cat. The following table provides a comparison of cat and human years."

Like all felids, domestic cats are characterized by supple, low-slung bodies, finely molded heads, long tails that aid in balance, and specialized teeth and claws that adapt them admirably to a life of active hunting. Domestic cats possess other features of their wild relatives in being basically carnivorous, remarkably agile and powerful, and finely coordinated in movement. Himalayan, chocolate point. © Chanan Photography It is noteworthy that the ancestors of the other common household pet, the dog, were social animals that lived together in packs in which there was subordination to a leader, and the dog has readily transferred its allegiance from pack leader to human master. The cat, however, has not yielded as readily to subjugation. Consequently, the house cat is able to revert to complete self-reliance more quickly and more successfully than most domesticated dogs. For an account of the relationship of the family of cats to other carnivores, see carnivore. Origin and history of cats The “cat pattern,” established very early in the evolution of modern mammals, was a successful one: early cats were already typical in form at a time when the ancestors of most other modern mammalian types were scarcely recognizable. They first appeared in the early Pliocene Epoch (5.3 to 3.6 million years ago), and they have continued with remarkably little change into modern times."

[ 3] The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. In Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and most likely in Morocco, leopard populations have already been extirpated. [ 2] Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. [ 4] [5] Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration. [ 6] [7]Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers."

"text": "Tiffany Two, the oldest living cat in the world, at home in San Diego, California. Sharron Voorhees By Olivia B. Waxman March 12, 2015On March 13, Tiffany Two, the world’s oldest living cat, will turn 27 years old — the equivalent of 125 human years, according to Guinness World Records. The orange-and-black tortoiseshell spends her days sleeping in the middle of the staircase at her home in San Diego, Calif., where she lives with two other cats, 9 and 10 years old respectively. On the eve of Tiffany Two’s birthday, owner Sharron Voorhees, 73, reminisces about the day in 1988 when she saw the cat at a pet shop that was going out of business. It was the same breed as her old cat Tiffany, which died of cancer in the early 70s. She drove home, but couldn’t stop thinking about it, so she went back to the pet store and bought the cat. “I’ve always said that was the best $10 I ever spent,” she tells TIME. She adds that while the 27 year old is “very docile” nowadays, she has a feisty side. When asked if Tiffany Two has always gotten along with other cats, Voorhees said: She had sex appeal, man, I tell ya. The boys liked her, even if she was fixed."

"text": "The 5 Oldest Cats Ever Five Cats Who Have Made the Most of Their Nine Lives By Sam Bourne. December 30| See Comments Many people know that cats generally live longer than dogs, but for these five cats, they take it to a whole new level. As five of the oldest cats on record, these fantastic felines have as much life experience as most middle aged people. See what these cats did to make it so far. We all know the expression that cats have nine lives, but these five cats have really managed to get the most out of every one them. Each living upwards of three decades, these cats have surpassed the usual cat lifespan by two or three times the average, which is a pretty tremendous feat. To help put that in perspective, with the average human lifespan in America being 77.5 (as of 2010), if these cats were people, they would have lived to be anywhere between 155 to 232.5 years of age!Granpa Rexs Allen - 34 years A Sphynxcat adopted from the Travis County Humane Society in Texas by Jake Perry in 1970, this cat originally hails from Paris, France, where he was lost by his previous owner during a vacation. Thanks to Granpa’s pedigree, he is one of the only cats on this list with a detailed record of his birth. A highly pampered cat, Granpa Rexs Allen received one of the strangest cat diets, consisting of bacon, eggs, broccoli, asparagus, and mayonnaise, and it seems to have worked in this instance (and in one other — keep reading). Puss - 36 years old Born in 1903, Puss is believed to be one of the first cats on record to make it past 35, although many believe that claim is not above scrutiny."

"text": "Parrot And Parakeet Life Span Written by Mike ZAdvertisement When first buying a parrot or parakeet, you should expect to have a life long commitment between you and your new feathered friend. The reason why most parrots end up in animal rescues is that people fail to research about parrot behaviors, and how long a parrot’s lifespan/parakeet’s lifespan really is. Any type of parrot or even parakeet will outlive your typical pocket pet (hamster, guinea pigs), cat, or dog; some of the only pets that a parakeet can’t outlive are snakes, turtles and some types of fish. Do you really think you can care for a pet that will live a minimum of 10 years? The following bird life spans listed below are what you can expect from a properly cared for, healthy pet bird. It’s the average ages reported by various sources (books, papers, breeders, bird enthusiasts); some may live longer than their average life expectancy. A few examples are cited below. Pet Bird Lifespans African Greys Lifespan30 to 50 years African Grey, often considered the smartest parrot Here’s Henry, a 45 year old African Gray. A nasal infection caused that hole in the top part of Henry’s beak, but besides that, the owner claims he is perfectly fine and healthy. One of the only 40+ year old african grey’s you’ll see on youtube."

The pretty pet was born in February 1990, the same month Nelson Mandela was released from prison. She has lived through five British Prime Ministers but is now a frail old lady and spends most of her time inside relaxing. At the grand old age of 24, she has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest living cat. Poppy, from Bournemouth, has picked up the title following the death of Pinky, a cat from Kansas who passed away at the age of 23 last year. The ‘Top Cat’ Poppy was originally called Popsy and had two owners in her early days. Then, aged five, she was adopted by Marguerite Corner and her daughter Jacqui. At the age of ten, Poppy went with Jacqui who had moved in with future husband Andy West. Poppy with current owner Jacqui West and her two sons Joe (left), and Toby (right)The couple now have two sons (Joe,11 and Toby, eight) and Poppy lives with four other cats, two rabbits and a hamster. Despite her age and frailty, Poppy is still the boss of the house and if the other cats try their luck with her they are swiftly dealt with."

Bluey was born on June 7, 1910, lived for 29 years, five months and seven days (approximately 129 dog years ), and apparently lived on a diet of kangaroos and emus. Many reports were saying that Chanel, a wire-haired dachshund, held the record for world’s oldest dog at 21 years old. However, in recent years, dozens of pooches have been nominated for the proud title of World’s Oldest Dog, such as: Bramble (27), from Bridgewater, Somerset, Jerry (26) and Jip (25). The typical lifespan of dogs varies widely among breeds but for most, the median longevity ranges from 10 to 13 years.

Odorant receptors bind odorants in the airspace, which are made soluble by the serous secretions from olfactory glands located in the lamina propria of the mucosa.

within the taste bud -similar in appearance to receptor cells but do not respond to stimuli Sensory, or Taste Receptor, Cells -covered with numerous microvilli which are found at the apical surface of the cell and project into the taste pore -the microvilli are the sites for transduction of chemical stimuli into electrical currents (receptor potentials) -taste receptor cells are NOT neurons -do not transmit APs to the CNS -cell bodies of the first order taste neurons are located outside the gustatory epithelium -a single taste nerve fiber may innervate several taste buds, and within a given taste bud may innervate several taste receptor cells Fungiform papillae -distributed across the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and are most numerous near the tip -mushroom-shaped bulges contain 3-5 taste buds which are located on the dorsal surface -look like red spots on the tongue, due to rich blood supply just beneath the taste buds Foliate papillae -located on the lateral border of the tongue -taste buds are in folds on the sides of the papillae Circumvallate papillae -largest of all papillae -few in number (only 10-12 in humans) -arranged in rows near the base of the tongue -each papillae is surround by a circular furrow and numerous taste buds are located in the sides of these furrows -nearly half of the taste buds in the tongue are located on the circumvallate papillae Filiform papillae -leaf-shaped, 2-3 mm long -do NOT contain taste buds -most abundant type of papillae found on the surface of the tongue Determining access of chemical stimuli 1) location of the taste bud on the papillae 2) glandular secretions which cover the taste pore -both affect the access of the chemical stimuli to the receptor cells within a give taste bud -contribute to taste qualities in different regions of the tongue Gustatory nerves -Facial (VII) -Glossopharyngeal (IX) -Vagus (X)Facial Nerve (VII) -subserves taste over the anterior 2/3 of the tongue -fibers from anterior tongue run through the lingual nerve, chorda tympani, and facial nerve to the geniculate ganglion -the cell bodies of these taste fibers are in the geniculate ganglion Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) -innervates the posterior third of the tongue and its fibers have cell bodies originating in the petrosal ganglion Vagus nerve (X) -innervates the epiglottis and lower pharynx -cell bodies of vagus nerve located in the nodose ganglion Trigeminal Nerve (V) -innervates the tongue, but is not considered to be involved in gustation. -this nerve travels together with the chorda tympani fibers in the lingual nerve to innervate the anterior 2/3 of the tongue -cell bodies are located in the gasserian ganglion -involved in texture, temperature and pain Central taste pathways -Nerves VII, IX and X enter the medulla and ascend together in a bundle called the solitary fasciculus/tract. -Nerves terminate on the 2nd order taste cells located in the rostral portion of the solitary nucleus -Central taste projections to cells located in a region of the neocortex called the cortical taste area which includes the lateral portion of the postcentral gyrus and the opercular insular cortex Basal pathway -Gustatory info also reaches the basal forebrain including the hypothalamus, amygdaloid complex -Projections to the basal forebrain may play a role in regulation and control of food intake and drinking behavior Basic taste sensations sour, salty, bitter, sweet, umami Mechanisms of taste transduction -include secondary messenger systems and ligand gated channels Sour mechanism -characterized by dissociated hydrogen ions -cause closure of potassium channels and subsequent depolarization of receptor cell membrane Salty mechanism -Act directly on sodium channels to depolarize the membrane Bitter mechanisms -result in the modulation of intracellular calcium and IP3 levels Sweet mechanisms -modulate c AMP levels and decrease potassium channel conductance Sensitivity to bitter tastes best in the posterior region of the tongue where the circumvallate papillae are located Sensitivity to sour tastes most effective along the sides of the tongue where there is a large number of foliate papillae Bitter and sour recordings the two regions where bitter and sour substances are detected are innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve and recordings from this nerve indicates a strongest response to bitter and sour substances Sensitivity to sweet and salty -most detected on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue -this is the location of most of the fungiform papillae -the facial nerve innervating this region gives its best response to sweet and salty stimuli Neural coding of taste theories 1) Across fiber pattern code 2) Specific fiber code Across fiber pattern code theory -recordings from single taste fibers in response to four basic taste stimuli -no two fibers have identical response characteristics -each fiber responds to all four taste qualities and there are differences in the magnitude of response to each of the different stimuli -a single fiber alone does not encode stimulus quality, rather the response pattern across many fibers is used to discriminate the stimulus Specific fiber code theory -individual fibers do indeed code or signal particular taste qualities -a single fiber responded most strongly to a particular stimulus and that, that particular fiber encodes that particular stimulus Hypogeusia a decrease in taste sensitivity Ageusia absence of the sense of taste Hypergeusia an increase in the taste sensitivity Dysgeusia an impairment or distortion of taste Cacogeusia a bad or foul sense of taste Parageusia a taste sensation in the absence of the appropriate taste stimuli Turbinates, or conchae -structures that act as deflectors, causing airflow to become turbulent or nonlinear -some of the air stream is directed to the upper regions where the olfactory receptor cells are located Olfactory epithelium -lines the entire superior turbinate, part of the middle turbinate and the upper part of the nasal septum -some 100 million olfactory receptor cells are in this region (the rest of the nasal cavity contains respiratory epithelium which is reddish pink in color) -contains ciliated epithelial cells which beat rhythmically and aid in the movement of mucus across the surface of the epithelium -cilia function as sites of stimulus transduction providing a large surface area for the interaction with odor stimuli Respiratory vs. olfactory epithelium -in resp. epithelium, cilia appear to be arranged in wave-like clusters -in olfactory epithelium, cilia appear to be arranged in a random haphazard fashion Basal cells of olfactory epithelium -located at the base of the epithelium -undifferentiated stem cells which give rise to olfactory receptor cells -these stem cells undergo a process of mitosis producing a continuous turnover and new supply of supporting and receptor cells Differences in processes of olfactory and gustatory basal cells 1) The time it takes a basal cell in the olfactory epithelium to develop and emerge as a mature receptor cell (25-30 days) is longer than in the gustatory epithelium 2) Unlike taste receptor cells, olfactory receptor cells are true nerve cells (neurons). They have a dendritic rod, axon and conduct APs into CNSSupporting cells of olfactory epithelium -columnar epithelial cells -located at the border of the epithelium and are distributed homogeneously among receptor cells -have numerous microvilli which extend into olfactory mucosa and secretory granules near the surface, to keep mucosal layer moist Receptor cells of olfactory epithelium -flask-shaped cells with large cell bodies and a thin dendritic rod -at mucosal surface, this rod forms a swelling called the olfactory vesicle or know which contains a number of cilia that extend out into the mucous layer -cilia have a typical 9 plus 2 pattern of filaments -basal end of receptor cells give use to a thin unmyelinated fiber which passes out of the epithelium and travels centrally to the olfactory bulb Olfactory nerve fibers -they are among the smallest fibers in the nervous system with a diameter from .1 to .3 microns and have extremely slow conduction velocities (.2-.3 m/s) -within a single schwann cell invagination, the unmyelinated fibers run together in bundles and are not insulated from one another Trigeminal nerve in olfactory epithelium -olfactory epithelium is innervated by branches of the trigeminal (V) nerve, in addition to by the olfactory nerve -principle detectors for noxious and caustic chemicals like ammonia, formaldehyde and other stinging/painful odors -this is not technically \"\"olfaction,\"\" but is merely detection of noxious stimuli Olfaction the discrimination and detection of odor stimuli and is mediated by the olfactory nerve Traumatic injury and olfaction -all olfactory nerves pas"

These specialized sensory receptive parts of the olfactory nerve are then located in the olfactory mucosa of the upper parts of the nasal cavity. During breathing air molecules attach to the olfactory mucosa and stimulate the olfactory receptors of cranial nerve I and electrical activity is transduced into the olfactory bulb. Olfactory bulb cells then transmit electrical activity to other parts of the central nervous system via the olfactory tract. Optic Nerve (II)Special Sensory : Vision The optic nerve originates from the bipolar cells of the retina which are connected to the specialized receptors in the retina (rod and cone cells). Light strikes the rod and cone cells and electrical impulses are transduced and transmitted to the bipolar cells. The bipolar cells in turn transmit electrical activity to the central nervous system through the optic nerve. The optic nerve exits the back of the eye in the orbit and enters the optic canal and exits into the cranium. It enters the central nervous system at the optic chiasm (crossing) where the nerve fibers become the optic tract just prior to entering the brain.

Learning Objectives Summarize the process by which visual information is communicated to the brain Key Takeaways Key Points Human vision is one of the most complex visual systems among animals. The main sensory organ of the visual system is the eye, which takes in the physical stimuli of light rays and transduces them into electrical and chemical signals that can be interpreted by the brain to construct physical images. The eye has three main layers: the sclera, which includes the cornea; the choroid, which includes the pupil, iris, and lens; and the retina, which includes receptor cells called rods and cones. The human visual system is capable of complex color perception, which is initiated by cones in the retina and completed by impulse integration in the brain. Depth perception is our ability to see in three dimensions and relies on both binocular (two-eye) and monocular (one-eye) cues. Key Termsphototransduction: The process whereby the various bodies in the retina convert light into electrical signals.retina: The thin layer of cells at the back of the eyeball where light is converted into neural signals sent to the brain.photoreceptor: A specialized neuron able to detect and react to light. Includes both cones (daytime and color) and rods (nighttime). The human visual system gives our bodies the ability to see our physical environment. The system requires communication between its major sensory organ (the eye) and the core of the central nervous system (the brain) to interpret external stimuli (light waves) as images."

The sensations evoked by a substance put into the mouth are complex and involve much more than taste. For example, a mouthful of orange soda pop gives one a taste that is a combination of sour and sweet; it is cold; it may sting or tingle a bit if it is carbonated; it evokes a complex touch sensation in the mouth, and it smells fruity or fragrant. The only part of this complex of sensations that is taste in origin, i.e., resulting from receptors on the tongue, palate or pharynx is the sensation of sweetness or sourness. Anyone who has ever had a head cold can attest to the flatness or blandness of his diet during that time. This is due to the fact that access of odorants to olfactory receptors is blocked by the copious secretions of mucus. Fig. 10-1.

It lies close to the vomer and nasal bones. It was discovered by Frederik Ruysch prior to 1732 and later by Ludwig Jacobson in 1813. [ 1] This organ is the sense organ involved in the flehmen response in mammals. The VNO is the first stage of the accessory olfactory system and contains sensory neurons that detect chemical stimuli. The axons from these neurons project to the accessory olfactory bulb, which targets the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, which in turn project to the hypothalamus. The vomeronasal organ is mainly used to detect pheromones, chemical messengers that carry information between individuals of the same species. As with other olfactory systems, chemical messages are detected by their binding to G protein-coupled receptors. The neurons in the VNO express receptors from three families, called V1R, [2] V2R, [3] [4] [5] and FPR. ["

Ageusia, a companion word, refers to a lack of taste sensation. Patients who actuallyhave anosmia may complain wrongly of ageusia, although they retain the ability to distinguishsalt, sweet, sour, and bitter—humans' only taste sensations. Description Of the five senses, smell ranks fourth in importance for humans, although it is much morepronounced in other animals. Bloodhounds, for example, can smell an odor a thousand timesweaker than humans. Taste, considered the fifth sense, is mostly the smell of food in the mouth. The sense of smell originates from the first cranial nerves (the olfactory nerves), which sit at thebase of the brain's frontal lobes, right behind the eyes and above the nose.

Few people appreciate the range of information provided by the sense of smell, or think about what life would be like if that information was lost – until it happens to them. What Can Go Wrong? Even though they are tucked away inside the nose, the olfactory receptor cells receive a constant barrage from the outside world with every breath we take. This means that they are exposed to viruses and bacteria, dust and particles, and environmental chemicals, all of which can damage:the actual receptorsthe nerve cells where they are locatedsupporting cells and tissueany combination of the above In a cross-section of the head, you can see that the olfactory receptors are located behind and just under the eyes. Odor molecules must travel from the nostrils through the nasal passage to reach the receptors. Anything that blocks the flow of odor molecules through these passageways can limit the ability of odor information to reach the receptors. The anatomic location of the olfactory nerve, which carries smell information from the receptors inside the nose to the brain, makes it highly susceptible to physical damage. Olfactory nerve fibers pass through a honeycomb-like bone structure known as the cribriform plate as they travel from the nose to the brain. These nerve fibers are at risk of being crushed or severed when the force of a head injury causes the brain to collide violently with the skull."

Make the most of the carbohydrates in your diet by choosing low-calorie, low-fat carbs that are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Percentage To determine how many calories you need from carbohydrates, start with the total calories you need to eat each day to lose, gain or maintain your weight. Designate 45 to 65 percent of that number for foods high in carbs. If you need 2,000 calories per day, 900 to 1,300 of those calories-- 225 to 325 grams -- should come from carbohydrates, as 1 gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you get most of your carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits and vegetables, which contain little or no sodium or fat. According to the CDC, a diet high in simple carbohydrates, such as refined sugar, increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease and promotes weight gain. Types All carbohydrates consist of sugar molecules, which your body converts into glucose for energy. Simple carbohydrates include one or two sugar molecules. Your body breaks down simple carbohydrates quickly, which gives you a fast burst of energy but raises your blood sugar."

Reviewing basic physiology On a day to day basis, your body has certain nutrient requirements, a topic which is discussed in detail elsewhere in this book. As described in those chapters, those nutrient requirements are generally related to how much you weigh (or how much lean body mass you have). There are a few exceptions, places where the requirements for a given nutrient are absolute which I’ll mention when necessary. For example, at any given moment, nearly all of the tissues in your body are utilizing some amount of protein for various processes. Your liver, your kidneys, your muscles, your fat cells, your gut are all using protein for protein synthesis and energy needs. Meaning that the more of those tissues you have, the more protein you need; the less of those tissues you have the less protein that you need. The same goes for carbohydrate and fat. Your body is using energy at some rate (set by your metabolic rate which is fundamentally related to your body mass but also determined by factors such as hormones, the temperature and other factors) and that means providing energy at some level related to bodyweight. Since carbohydrate and fat are your body’s primary energy yielding nutrients, that means that they are required in some amount related to bodyweight."

For most people, you want carbohydrates to typically be about 40 percent of your overall intake of calories — that’s for an active person. If you’re active, about 40 percent of your calories should come from carbs, another 30 percent from protein and another 30 percent from fat in general — this has the added benefit of helping prevent arteriosclerosis."

In a previous article, I offered you the “Eat To Perform” calculator that basically takes your height, weight, age, and bodyfat percentage (if you know it) to determine the calories that you need to supply basic function to your organs and nervous system. It then applies a multiplier related to your activity levels to determine your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). Getting an accurate guess at your BMR and TDEE can be extremely useful as a jumping-off point for figuring out how to achieve an optimal, balanced nutrition plan but there’s a ton of conjecture and misinformation surrounding the subject. A big part of what I teach in the seminars is a deficit strategy that emphasizes sleeping more, eating better and maintaining a healthy metabolism through non-restrictive eating. This leads to better work capacity, improved recovery and increased fat mobilization."

"text": "\"Nutrition For every physical activity, the body requires energy and the amount depends on the duration and type of activity. Energy is measured in Calories and is obtained from the body stores or the food we eat. Glycogen is the main source of fuel used by the muscles to enable you to undertake both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. If you train with low glycogen stores, you will feel constantly tired, training performance will be lower and you will be more prone to injury and illness. A calorie (cal) is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1°C from 14° to 15°C. A kilocalorie (kcal) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1000g of water 1°C. Nutrient Balance Carefully planned nutrition must provide an energy balance and a nutrient balance. The nutrients are: Proteins - essential to growth and repair of muscle and other body tissues Fats - one source of energy and important in relation to fat soluble vitamins Carbohydrates - our main source of energy Minerals - those inorganic elements occurring in the body and which are critical to its normal functions Vitamins - water and fat soluble vitamins play important roles in many chemical processes in the body Water - essential to normal body function - as a vehicle for carrying other nutrients and because 60% of the human body is water Roughage - the fibrous indigestible portion of our diet essential to health of the digestive system What are the daily energy requirements? Personal energy requirement = basic energy requirements + extra energy requirements Basic energy requirements (BER) includes your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and general daily activities For every Kg of body weight approximately 1.334 Calories is required every hour [2]. (An athlete weighing 60Kg would require 1.334 × 24hrs × 60Kg = 1921 Calories/day)For a calculation of your BMR, see the calculator on the Resting Daily Energy Expenditure (RDEE) page Extra energy requirements (EER)For each hours training you require approximately an additional 8.5 Calories for each Kg of body weight [2]. (For a two hour training session our 60Kg athlete would require 8.5 × 2hrs × 60Kg = 1020 Calories)An athlete weighing 60Kg who trains for two hours would require an intake of approximately 2941 Calories (BER + EER = 1921 + 1020)Energy Fuel Like fuel for a car, the energy we need has to be blended. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans [1] recommends the following blend:45-65% Carbohydrates (sugar, sweets, bread, cakes)20-35% Fats (dairy products, oil)10-35% Protein (eggs, milk, meat, poultry, fish)For the purposes of the following examples and calculations I will use the following values: Fat 27%, Carbohydrate 52% and Protein 21%The approximate energy yield per gram is as follows [3]: Carbohydrate - 4.2 Calories, Fats - 9.5 Calories and Protein - 4.1 Calories."

"text": "How Many Carbohydrates Do You Need? November 19, 2008 by lylemcd 79 Comments A perennial question, argument and debate in the field of nutrition has to do with how many carbohydrates people should be eating. While the nutritional mainstream is still more or less advocating a large amount of daily carbohydrate (with fat being blamed for the health problems of the modern world), groups often considered at the ‘fringe’ of nutrition are adamant that carbohydrates are the source of all evil when it comes to health, obesity, etc. They advocate lowering carbohydrates and replacing them with dietary protein, fat or both. This is a topic that I discussed in some detail in Carbohydrates and Fat Controversies Part 1 and Carbohydrate and Fat Controversies Part 2 and I’d recommend readers take a look at those for a slightly different look at the issue than what is discussed here. Arguments over recommended carbohydrate intake have a long history and it doesn’t appear to be close to ending any time soon. Typical mainstream recommendations have carbohydrates contributing 50% or more of total calories while many low-carbohydrate advocates suggest far fewer (ranging from the 40% of the Zone diet to close to zero for ketogenic diets). This article looks at the topic in detail. And while I originally wrote it quite a while back (some of you have probably seen it before), it was nice going over it with fine toothed comb for an update. While the majority of it stands up well over time, I was able to make some slight changes to the values, along with removing some original stuff that wasn’t really relevant."

Objective: Our objective was to examine the BMI (kg/m 2) and risk of overweight and obesity of self-defined semivegetarian, lactovegetarian, and vegan women. Design: Data analyzed in this cross-sectional study were from 55459 healthy women participating in the Swedish Mammography Cohort. Women were asked whether they considered themselves to be omnivores ( n = 54257), semivegetarians ( n = 960), lactovegetarians ( n = 159), or vegans ( n = 83), and this question was the main exposure variable in this study. In secondary analyses, we reclassified women as lactovegetarians on the basis of food intakes reported on the food-frequency questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25) was 40% among omnivores, 29% among both semivegetarians and vegans, and 25% among lactovegetarians. In multivariate, adjusted logistic regression analyses, self-identified vegans had a significantly lower risk of overweight or obesity [odds ratio (OR) = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.18, 0.69] than did omnivores, as did lactovegetarians (OR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.85) and semivegetarians (OR = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.62). Risk of overweight or obesity remained significantly lower among lactovegetarians classified on the basis of the food-frequency questionnaire (OR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.78). Conclusions: Even if vegetarians consume some animal products, our results suggest that self-identified semivegetarian, lactovegetarian, and vegan women have a lower risk of overweight and obesity than do omnivorous women. The advice to consume more plant foods and less animal products may help individuals control their weight."

Americans will spend an estimated $22.62 billion on pet food in 2014 and there’s no sign that the upward trend will slow. As a nation, we love our pets and the pet food market is expanding to offer more and more choices to loving pet owners. In addition to the overall growth of the pet food market, organic pet food and premium pet foods are also growing at a strong rate as consumers try to make sure that their pets eat healthier foods. Owners are concerned about the kind and quality of ingredients in the food, where ingredients are sourced, handling and processing practices, company reputations, and whether companies have had a history of recalls. When it comes to choosing food for a pet, who is often considered a beloved family member, price is often a distant consideration. At the same time, not all pet foods are what they claim to be. Pet food companies are aware of the factors that appeal to consumers and they market products with terms like “natural” and “holistic” which have limited meaning. They make appeals to “pet parents” to play on your emotions and sometimes use gimmicky ingredients that don’t really have any nutritional value for dogs because they are popular human health trends. Some companies also tout doubtful nutritional theories."

"text": "SHARE THIS PAGEWhat is a Keto Diet? A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. It’s referred to as many different names – ketogenic diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat ( LCHF ), etc. When you eat something high in carbs, your body will produce glucose and insulin. Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy so that it will be chosen over any other energy source. Insulin is produced to process the glucose in your bloodstream by taking it around the body. Since the glucose is being used as a primary energy, your fats are not needed and are therefore stored. Typically on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbs, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis. Ketosis is a natural process the body initiates to help us survive when food intake is low."

His government is responsible for long term oppression and horrendous human rights abuses toward those that oppose his regime domestically. That said, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) or ‘rebels’ are not the band of liberty loving freedom fighters Western media has been jamming down our throats. Indeed, this fragmented umbrella of groups is dominated by the same radical Islamists that we’ve seen operating in Libya. These groups are motivated by a hatred of Assad’s secular regime and by a burning desire to implement Sharia law in Syria. Most of these fighters are not Syrian natives and the civilian population in Syria, for the most part, does not support the FSA in the civil war. Let’s take a quick look at Syria over the last 10 or 15 years in the lead up to the ongoing civil war and then take a good hard look at which groups are represented within the FSA and some of the atrocities they’ve committed. A Brief History of Recent Events in Syria In 2000 Hajez Assad, then President of Syria died and his son, Bashar, took over as head of the Ba’ath party, the President and head of the military. These positions were pretty much a package deal since the Syrian constitution at that time stipulated that only Ba’ath party leaders could ascend to the Presidency. Under the younger Assad, the general authoritarian flavour of the Syrian government, though slightly relaxed, pretty much continued as it had in the past."

"text": "\"Civil Rights Movement Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Civil Rights Movement The civil rights movement was a struggle by African Americans in the mid-1950s to late 1960s to achieve Civil Rights equal to those of whites, including equal opportunity in employment, housing,and education, as well as the right to vote, the right of equal access to public facilities, and the right to be free of racial discrimination. No social or political movement of the twentieth century has had as profound an effect on the legal and political institutions of the United States. This movementsought to restore to African Americans the rights of citizenship guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which had been eroded by segregationist Jim Crow Laws in the South. It fundamentally altered relations between the federal government and the states, as the federalgovernment was forced many times to enforce its laws and protect the rights of African Americancitizens. The civil rights movement also spurred the reemergence of the judiciary, including the Supreme Court, in its role as protector of individual liberties against majority power. In addition, as the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, and other leaders of the movement predicted, the movementprompted gains not only for African Americans but also for women, persons with disabilities, andmany others. The civil rights movement has been called the Second Reconstruction, in reference to the Reconstruction imposed upon the South following the Civil War. During this period, the Fourteenth Amendment (1868)—granting Equal Protection of the laws—and Fifteenth Amendment (1870)—giving the right to vote to all males regardless of race—were ratified, and troops from the Northoccupied the South from 1865 to 1877 to enforce the Abolition of Slavery. However, with the end of Reconstruction in 1877, southern whites again took control of the South, passing a variety of lawsthat discriminated on the basis of race."

"text": "Custom Student Mr. Teacher ENG 1001-046 June 2016Why Has the American Constitution Lasted so Long? Hague and Harrop define a codified constitution, such as the American Constitution, as a single document that ‘sets out the formal structure of the state, specifying the powers and institutions of central government, and its relationship with other levels. The Constitution established itself as ‘the supreme law of the land.’ In addition, constitutions express the rights of citizens and in so doing create limits on government.’ Ratified in 1789, the American Constitution still provides the basic rules and establishes the basic institutional framework for the American political system. In addition, the Constitution protects the civil rights of citizens. David Barrows regards the ability of the Constitution to survive time as ‘extraordinary’, especially considering the ‘immigration from European countries of extraordinary proportions … from countries of entirely different social and political order’. In addition, the Constitution has endured the most testing of times; the near quadrupling of the original number of states in the union; the issue of slavery; the Civil War and, the Great Depression. The Constitution’s strength is further emphasised by comparison to the French constitution, which has been replaced twelve times in the same time period. The Constitution is the oldest living written constitution in the world and has only been formally amended 17 times in last 218 years."

The second tier were circuit courts that prosecuted beyond federal courts. The their tier were the state federal courts in which one judge presided over.

Although previously marginalized, African-American history has gained ground in school and university curricula and gained wider scholarly attention since the late 20th century. The black history that pre-dates the slave trade is rarely taught in schools and is almost never acknowledged. As a result many African-Americans grow up believing that slavery is the only event to occur in their history before the civil rights movement, which is not accurate.

Though foundational accounts of citizenship situate the sources and boundaries of civil rights, by far the most frequent usage of the term is in relation to the US civil rights movement, which has served as the central case informing prevailing theories of social movements. The movement’s canonical status and sweeping impacts on political, economic, and social life has given rise to a loosely bounded conception of an associated era, with much scholarship focusing on the contours of racial discrimination and mobility in the “post-civil rights” decades that have followed. Another area of movement influence relates to the encoding of civil rights protections in legislation and court decisions. A particularly robust literature has engaged with the implementation and enforcement of various provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as well as its impact on subsequent related legislation, such as the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act. The legacy of the movement is also evident in its influence on subsequent civil rights movements, both tactically and through their ability to advance “civil rights” claims in familiar and resonant ways. The unique and familiar character of the civil rights movement, then, has ensured that conceptions of civil rights remain prevalent within a variety of sociological literatures––from social movements, to organizations, gender, race and ethnicity, and the sociology of law––while perhaps paradoxically discouraging focused research on the definitional and political contours of the term itself. Citizenship and Rights Claims This section brings together work on the relationship between civil rights and conceptions of citizenship, engaging with how communities or movements make claims to civil rights, often alongside or implicitly in contrast to other kinds of rights. Marshall 1950 offers a foundational conceptualization of core relationships between civil rights and citizenship, their historical evolution, and their implications for capitalist class systems. Turner 1993 elaborates on Marshall’s seminal essay to introduce a range of theoretical issues associated with citizenship."

These units were developed to enable students to understand, summarize, and evaluate original source materials of historical significance. Through a step-by-step process, students will acquire the skills to analyze, assess, and develop knowledgeable and well-reasoned viewpoints on primary source materials. Over the course of three lessons the students will compare and contrast the different philosophies and methods espoused by the civil right leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X. Comparisons will be drawn between two of the speeches that were delivered by these men in which they considered the issue of violent protest vs. nonviolent protest. Students will use textual analysis to draw their conclusions and present arguments as directed in each lesson. An argumentative (persuasive) essay, which requires the students to defend their opinions using textual evidence, will be used to determine student understanding.

She asks how we can explain recent shifts across the continent, and what a focus on Africa adds to our broader understanding of women in politics. Aili Mari Tripp is the Professor of Political Science and Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. One of the most fascinating developments in African politics has been the increase in women’s political participation since the mid 1990s. Women are becoming more engaged in a variety of institutions from local government, to legislatures, and even the executive. Today, Africa is a leader in women’s parliamentary representation globally. African countries have some of the world’s highest rates of representation: Rwanda claimed the world’s highest ratio of women in parliament in 2003 and today Rwandan women hold 64% of the country’s legislative seats. In Senegal, Seychelles and South Africa, more than 40% of parliamentary seats are held by women, while in Mozambique, Angola, Tanzania and Uganda over 35% of seats are occupied by women. By contrast, women in the US women hold 18% of the seats in the House and 20% in the Senate. The parliamentary patterns are evident in other areas as well."

Login to bookmark this Resource Elizabeth Smiltneek Definition Suffrage is the right or privilege of voting and is frequently incorporated among the rights of citizenship (the duties and privileges of a person owing loyalty to and entitled by birth or naturalization to the protection of a state or nation). However, just as not all people in the United States are necessarily granted the privilege of citizenship, not all U. S. citizens have been uniformly endowed with the right to vote. Throughout U. S. history, persons have been denied suffrage based on sex, race, age, and income. This lack of universal suffrage historically resulted in an avalanche of debate, protest and advocacy for political reform. There was great resistance to this reform, and the woman suffrage movement's accomplishments came over time. Arnaud-Duc explains,Political rights empower citizens to influence the state's priorities and hold public office. Suffrage may be national (or federal), local, or limited to particular offices."

"text": "Cuban Democracy Pamphlets Democratic Ideas 4Common Elements of Successful Opposition to Communism in Eastern Europe by Eric Chenoweth and Irena Lasota Introduction Ten years ago, in October and November 1989, communism collapsed in Eastern Europe. The “collapse” of communism took many years and involved many courageous people who struggled for basic human rights and democracy. One could say that communism in Eastern Europe began to collapse when it was imposed on the region by Soviet tanks and troops starting in 1944 (just as Soviet communism began to collapse when it was imposed on the Russian people by the Bolsheviks in 1917-20). From that time on, communist leaders in Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia — placed or helped into power by the Soviet Union — tried to build a system that was unsustainable. This system was based on the communist party-state’s total control of everything — economic, social, religious, cultural, and above all political — and refused to allow any alternate view to its own. Throughout its history, the system of communism showed that it would choose power and authority over truth and the well-being of the society, and thus it chose ineffecient, unproductive, and absurd methods of running the economy and state instead of using more rational methods. Such a system promoted less talented people on the basis strictly of loyalty to the communist party-state, while the more talented were often fired or put in jail not only for disagreeing with the party-state but even just for earnestly pointing out better ways of doing something. Under communism, telling the truth or saying that something could be done better means questioning the authority of a communist party official at some level or another, and such questioning is interpreted as challenging the authority of the communist party and its sole and unquestionable control over the state. In the end, communism could not survive without the use of force and terror. When the backing of the Soviet Union became less certain — Mikhail Gobachev’s foreign minister in 1988 made it explicit that the USSR was no longer able to put down any revolt — the people in Eastern Europe began to feel more and more confident in voicing their opposition to the regimes and challenging their countries’ internal mechanisms of communist control."

However it grew into an antagonistic role in later games; its spirit form Elysium served as the main villain and final boss of Soulcalibur V. Algol, the king that once wielded Soul Edge and lost his son because of the demonic sword, vowed to create a holy sword from the purified shards of Soul Edge that would oppose the evil sword, being its equal in strength and opposite in intent. Algol enlisted the help of the greatest sage in the land, who used purified fragments of the cursed sword to forge a new spirit sword, to be known as \"\"Soul Calibur\"\". After many failed attempts, the holy sword was born when Algol sacrificed himself to complete the ritual. However, the sword that was created was far from good due to Algol's thirst for power, and it was extremely similar in nature to Soul Edge. Nonetheless, the tribe that was tasked with guarding the sword slowly purified it to the point that it could be considered a holy weapon, while keeping dormant the dark soul that rested within the sword. The guardians lived in seclusion, passing the sword from generation to generation in secret. Whenever a warrior vowed to take on Soul Edge on his own, Soul Calibur appeared to prevent the cursed sword from causing any more damage. When wielded by King Arthur it was referred to as Excalibur."

"text": "The Concept of Cultural Lag Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: In this article we will discuss about the concept of cultural lag. Concept of Cultural Lag: The concept of cultural lag was first introduced by W. F. Ogburn in his book Social Change which was published in 1922. Since that date ‘cultural lag’ has been discussed from different angles by sociologists. Thus, Mac Iver has spoken of technological lag, technological restraint, culture clash and cultural ambivalence. According to this theory, the culture of any society consists of a pattern of interrelated elements. We can easily see that all aspects of a culture will not change at the same rate at the same time. Hence, a change in any one part of the cultural pattern may create strains and disturbances in the other closely related parts. ADVERTISEMENTS: Adjustments between these parts will have to be made eventually to restore harmony. But there will naturally be a time lag before harmony is restored. This is known as cultural lag."

"text": "\"Postmodernism and Postmodernist music June 12, 2013 · by mattcrowderdesign · in Contextual Studies . · Postmodernism is broad, spanning over four decades from 1950-1990. The term can be applied to literature, art, philosophy and architecture, referring to a large collection of ideas and cultural trends rather than a specific artistic movement. Postmodernism’s origins are difficult to trace but it can be used to describe movements that arise from and reject trends in modernism. Postmodernism rejected the modernist’s utopian visions that were based on clarity and simplicity, its key principles being complexity and contradiction. It crushed establishes ideas about art and brought a sense of freedom to art often using humorous gestures and an absurd style. The early period of postmodernism painting was pop art. Pop art is considered to be a postmodernist as it created a new, original art form, as well as combining both high art with low art. Andy Warhol was one of the first pop artists; his artwork was a combination of imagery and writing using Bricolage, which was a common characteristic in postmodern art. Similarly, postmodernist graphic design during 1970-1980 used vivid colours and wit."

Outwardly you are calm and may even appear calculated to others. This outer reserve is the opposite of your inner workings, which is greatly passionate. It is this passion that drives you to get all you want from life. Highly ambitious, you will work tirelessly to achieve your goals. October 28th Element Water is your paired element and in fact, out all 12 zodiac signs you are the only one with a fixed relationship to the element. You are very comfortable riding the seas of emotion and in turn, can be quite compassionate when others are having similar experiences. At times, you run the risk of diving too deep into the world of emotions, which leads to dark moods and stubbornness. However, if you continue to gain understanding the unpredictable nature of emotions, personal growth will surely follow. October 28th Planetary Influence Your sign's planetary ruler is Pluto and as you were born in the first Decan, or part, of the sign, Pluto's influence is twice as strong within you."

Part of a series on Economic systems By ideology [show]By coordination [show]By regional model [show]Sectors [show]Property types [show]Transition [show]Coordination [show]Other types [show]Business and economics portalv t e Autarky is the quality of being self-sufficient. Usually the term is applied to political states or their economic systems. Autarky exists whenever an entity can survive or continue its activities without external assistance or international trade. If a self-sufficient economy also refuses all trade with the outside world then it is called a closed economy. [ 1]Autarky is not necessarily an economic phenomenon; for example, a military autarky would be a state that could defend itself without help from another country, or could manufacture all of its weapons without any imports from the outside world. Autarky as an ideal or method has been embraced by a wide range of political ideologies and movements, especially left-wing creeds like mutualism, Council Communism, Syndicalism, Democratic Confederalism, and Populism. It has also been used in limited ways by conservative and nationalist movements, such as the American system, the Meiji Restoration, Juche, and traditionalist conservatism. Fascist and far-right movements occasionally claimed to strive for autarky in platform or propaganda, but in practice crushed existing movements towards self-sufficiency [2] and maintained extensive capital connections in efforts to ready for war and genocide [3] while allying with business elites. [ 4]Autarky may be a policy of a state or other entity when it seeks to be self-sufficient as a whole, but also can be limited to a narrow field such as possession of a key raw material."

It is used to translate both the Chinese term tao chia (the school of the tao) and Tao Chiao (the Taoist religion)\"\" (Lau 124). It is in some ways a political practice, in some ways a personal or individual philosophy. In other ways, it is a mystical school of religion or oriental magic, depending upon the word's use and the century in which the word appears. The word Tao is itself a fairly vague term. ( It rhymes with \"\"wow,\"\" the initial t- sounding more like a d- .) Tao in Mandarin Chinese means \"\"the way,\"\" including all the English variants such as \"\"the path,\"\" or \"\"the road,\"\" or \"\"the method.\"\" It is often used especially in the sense of \"\"the path of life\"\" or \"\"the way of nature\"\" (Schafer 62). The paradox is that by talking about the Tao, and by attempting to define the Tao, we ensure that the reader does not actually grasp the concept.

"text": "What is Neurodiversity? Neurodiversity means many things to people. Here's my first person definition Posted Oct 07, 2013SHARETWEETEMAILMORETo me, neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences like autism and ADHD are the result of normal, natural variation in the human genome. This represents new and fundamentally different way of looking at conditions that were traditionally pathologized; it’s a viewpoint that is not universally accepted though it is increasingly supported by science. That science suggests conditions like autism have a stable prevalence in human society as far back as we can measure. We are realizing that autism, ADHD, and other conditions emerge through a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental interaction; they are not the result of disease or injury. At the same time, we are identifying diseases and injuries (physical and environmental) that will produce brain injuries whose effects look very similar to autism and other differences. Acceptance of neurodiversity certainly does not include passive acceptance of such injury and insult, though we should unconditionally accept individuals who are so impacted. Smallpox is a disease that attacks healthy people; one can seek its eradication by understanding its foundations and planning an attack at that level. Autism – as a lifelong part of otherwise healthy person – may be understood at that basic level but if it’s an innate part of the person it’s not subject to attack and cure in the same simplistic manner."

Obama is the Greatest President of Modern Times100k SHARESFacebook Twitter Subscribe Google Pinterest Print Mail Flipboard It is difficult to compare presidents outside of a narrow context of time. It is like trying to compare baseball players, like Ruth and Aaron, or football players, like Johnny Unitas and Peyton Manning. For athletes, the games they play were different then; and for presidents, not only the country, but the world is different. There is no way of knowing how a president today would have fared when faced with the prospect of the First or Second World War, or how they would have handled the advent of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. These are answers we can never have answered, and speculation is pointless. Despite any internal similarities, the external contexts cannot be ignored: Korea is not Vietnam and Vietnam is not Iraq. What we can do is judge them by their accomplishments, by how they faced the challenges of their time. Coming off arguably one of the most disastrous presidencies in our history, that of George W. Bush, who cut taxes yet involved us in two un-paid for wars, and crashed our economy and that of the rest of the world as a result, we found ourselves with our nation’ first black president. Not only did Barack H. Obama face the deeply entrenched racism of the nation that elected him, but a Republican Party determined to obstruct his every move, to make him a one term president and that term an utter failure. All the while, he had to face his real work, that for which he was elected: digging our nation out of the hole into which his predecessor had dragged us."

It aims to overcome the conceptual and methodological shortcomings of existing measures, in order to measure the subtle differences in the quality of established democracies. Most of the previous indices of democracy have a minimalist conceptual basis which is useful to distinguish democratic from non-democratic regimes. However, 'democracy' is a complex phenomenon and a minimalist measurement cannot do justice to it. The Democracy Barometer is therefore based on a middle range concept of democracy, embracing liberal as well as participatory ideas of democracy, which illuminate the phenomenon from different perspectives). It consists of a stepwise theoretical deduction of fundamental elements of democracy. The starting point is the premise that a democratic system tries to establish a good balance between the normative, interdependent values of freedom and equality and that this requires control. In order to guarantee these three fundamental principles and thus the quality of democracy, nine democratic functions need to be fulfilled. Every function is further disaggregated into two components each, which finally, are measured by several sub-components and indicators (see also codebook ). The choice of indicators and scales as well as the rules of aggregation rely on theoretical considerations and empirical tests (also see methodology )."

On the basis of the subordination of women, there can be no real unity.... The only real unity between men and women is the unity forged in the course of struggle against their oppression. And it is by supporting, rather than opposing, the struggles of women, that Chicanos and Chicanas can genuinely unite. ( Vidal, 31-32)From Mirta Vidal, \"\" Chicanas Speak Out.

The city of Harar is widely considered to be the 4th holiest city in Islam. Ethiopian Muslim critics say the country’s national census that put the Muslim population at 33.9 percent of the nation is inaccurate. They claim Muslims total between 45 and 50 percent of the country. The Central Statistical Agency (CSA) recently announced that the Ethiopian Orthodox population makes up 43.5 percent of the country while Protestant Christians are 18.6 percent, for a total Christian population of 62.1 percent. According to a Jimma Times correspondent in Oromia, critics claim the Ethiopian population census was flawed in its methodology in addition to being influenced by the country’s ethno-political and religious divisions. In Jimma town, one of the Muslim dominated places of Ethiopia, some believe the growth of Muslim development and aid organizations financed by the Gulf States have effectively checked the Protestant Christian influences financed by the West. In addition to concerns of seasonal movement of nomadic Muslim inhabitants in the Somali, Oromia and Afar regional states affecting the census, Muslim critics anticipated a bigger impact from the civil war in Somalia on refugee driven growth in southeastern Ethiopia. However, some Ethiopian Christians blame western organizations who made unverified estimations that put Muslim population much higher. During the last few years, institutions like the US State Department approximated Muslims to be around 50 percent of Ethiopia without giving reference."

[ 1]See also, Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation, by Samuel Alexander, for one vision of a ‘simple living’ utopia. A Non-Universalist Disclaimer Any discussion of the practice of simplicity ought to begin by acknowledging that there is not one way to live simply. There is no Doctrine or Code of Simplicity to follow, as such; there is no Method or Equation of Simplicity into which we can plug the facts of our lives and be told how to live.

Voluntary simplicity, it could be said, is more about questions than answers, in the sense that practising simplicity calls for creative interpretation and personalized application. It is not for ‘experts,’ therefore, or for anyone, to prescribe universal rules on how to live simply. We each live unique lives and we each find ourselves in different situations, with different capabilities, and different responsibilities. Accordingly, the practice of simplicity by one person, in one situation, may very well involve different things to a different person, in a different situation."

"text": "\"Moderate Political Ideologies: Liberalism and Conservatism Dr. Jim L. Riley Regis University Denver, CO© 1990Moderate Ideologies along with moderate political viewpoints may be correctly seen as occupying positions between the more extreme wings of the spectrum. In terms of the extent of power of the State moderate ideologies strike a balance between individual rights, freedoms and obligations and the coercive power of the State to mandate or prohibit certain behaviors by people. This \"\"balanced\"\" view brings forth various implications regarding governmental structure, electoral procedures, the rule of Law, economic concerns, and other important issues present in all organized societies. Likewise considerations regarding time help define the boundaries of moderate ideologies. Change is inevitable in society, in governmental arrangements and relationships, in leadership, in public policies and throughout the political world. Ideologies of the moderate varieties seek change at a pace that enables progress to occur but neither so fast that the destruction of stability and order in society becomes more likely, nor so slow as to foster stagnation and status quo permanence. Clearly then, there is considerable room for disagreement and dispute over what is the proper balance in all of these concerns. These disputable arenas contribute profoundly to struggles among those who support different moderate ideologies. Liberalism Liberalism has occupied an important position in the moderate varieties of political ideologies for well over two centuries. Although its dimensions differ from society to society (where it is permitted to endure), there do exist core elements which can be identified, examined and understood."

Public Domainby Regina Bailey Updated November 24, 2017The Three Domain System, developed by Carl Woese, is a system for classifying biological organisms. Over the years, scientists have developed several systems for the classification of organisms. From the late 1960's, organisms had been classified according to a Five Kingdom system. This classification system model was based on principles developed by Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus, whose hierarchical system groups organisms based on common physical characteristics. The Three Domain System As scientists learn more about organisms, classification systems change. Genetic sequencing has given researchers a whole new way of analyzing relationships between organisms. The current system, the Three Domain System, groups organisms primarily based on differences in ribosomal RNA (r RNA) structure. Ribosomal RNA is a molecular building block for ribosomes. Under this system, organisms are classified into three domains and six kingdoms."

Since these cells contain a nucleus, they go through the cell division of mitosis (Sidwill Friends School, 2006). Along with all cells containing a nucleus, they also have membrane bound organelles such as the mitochondria or chloroplasts (Sidwill Friends School, 2006). The domain Eukarya is highly diverse since it contains unicellular, colonial and multicellular organisms (Sidwill Friends School, 2006). In fact three major kingdoms belong to this domain, the kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Animalia (Campbell et al., 2008).

These Kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Organisms are placed into these categories based on similarities or common characteristics. Some of the characteristics that are used to determine placement are cell type, nutrient acquisition, and reproduction. The two main cell types are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Common types of nutrient acquisition include photosynthesis, absorption, and ingestion. Types of reproduction include asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Below is a list of the six Kingdoms of life and information on a few organisms in each category. Archaebacteria These single-celled prokaryotes were originally thought to be bacteria."

In 1977, American microbiologist, Carl Woese altered the previous two-domain system of Eukaryota (Eukarya) and Prokaryota. The Prokaryota domain was split into the two separate domains of Bacteria and Archaea. Woese was able to look at the similarities and differences of living organisms at the genetic sequencing level. More specifically, Woese analyzed how closely organisms were related based on the 16S ribosomal RNA or r RNA present in all organisms. With the new knowledge from the study of organisms' biochemical differences, scientists were able to classify life on earth into three distinctive groups, or domains: Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. Archaea is more closely related to Eukaryotes than Eubacteria Classification [ edit]Eukarya [ edit]All multicellular organisms are made of eukaryotic cells Most living plants and animals are composed of eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells receive their name from the Greek eu meaning true and karyon suggesting that they have a true nucleus which contains their DNA.

In 1977, Carl Woese was studying recently discovered prokaryotes in hot springs. With much observations, he noticed that there was a unique sequencing of 16S r RNA genes from many of the organisms. He noticed that the sequencing of the prokaryotes were a distinct form of life in itself- he called them archaea. This transformed the previous 5-kingdom system (plantae, animalia, fungi, protists, and prokaryotes) drawn by Lynn Margulis into 3 equally distinct groups (bacteria, archaea, and eukarya). [ 1] Woese argued that the bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes each represent a primary line of descent that diverged early on from an ancestral progenote with poorly developed genetic machinery. This hypothesis is reflected in the name archaea, from the Greek archae or ancient. Later he treated these groups formally as domains, each comprising several kingdoms. This division has become very popular, although the idea of the progenote itself is not generally supported. Some biologists, however, have argued that the archaebacteria and eukaryotes arose from specialized eubacteria and actually are from the same origin."

"text": "Guiding Principles for Organizational Design August 11, 2008 by mattperman 0 Comments The Basics of Organizational Design The Nature of Organizational Design General Principles Ultimate principle: Make it easy and motivating for people to collaborate, innovate, and achieve. “Organizational design is the means for creating a community of collective effort that yields more than the sum of each individual’s efforts and results. Organizational structures, processes, and practices channel and shape people’s behavior and energy. As a leader, you have the opportunity and responsibility to structure these relationships so that people find it easy to collaborate, innovate, and achieve” ( Designing Dynamic Organizations ). Organizational design is “the deliberate process of configuring structures, processes, reward systems, and people practices to create an effective organization capable of achieving the business strategy” ( Designing Your Organization ). It is to harness the efforts of individuals, although often it has been a barrier to them. One of its core purposes is to align individual interests with organizational interests, making it easy for employees to make the decisions that advance the organizational purpose. Organizational design is a competitive strategy and a hard-to-copy, and thus sustainable, source of competitive advantage. The six shapers of today’s and tomorrow’s organizations are: Buyer power, variety and solutions, the Internet, multiple dimensions, change, and speed. The business strategy should set the criteria necessary for determining the priority task to accomplish, and the organization should then be designed to meet those criteria. “"

"text": "\"Organizational Psychology Industrial and Organizational Psychology Tweet Industrial and organizational psychology (also known as I/O psychology, work psychology, or personnel psychology) is the scientific study of employees, workplaces, and organizations. Industrial and organizational psychologists contribute to an organization's success by improving the performance and well-being of its people. An I/O psychologist researches and identifies how behaviors and attitudes can be improved through hiring practices, training programs, and feedback systems. I/O psychologists also help organizations transition among periods of change and development. Industrial and organizational psychology is related to the concepts of organizational behavior and human capital. An applied science, I–O psychology is represented by Division 14 of the American Psychological Association, known formally as the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP). Overview Guion (1965) defines I–O psychology as \"\"the scientific study of the relationship between man and the world of work: ... in the process of making a living\"\" (p. 817). Blum & Naylor (1968) define it as \"\"simply the application or extension of psychological facts and principles to the problems concerning human beings operating within the context of business and industry\"\" (p. 4). I–O psychology has historically subsumed two broad areas of study, as evident by its name, although this distinction is largely artificial and many topics cut across both areas. It has roots in social psychology; organizational psychologists examine the role of the work environment in performance and other outcomes including job satisfaction and health."

If you want to provoke a vigorous debate, start a conversation on organizational culture. While there is universal agreement that (1) it exists, and (2) that it plays a crucial role in shaping behavior in organizations, there is little consensus on what organizational culture actually is, never mind how it influences behavior and whether it is something leaders can change. This is a problem, because without a reasonable definition (or definitions) of culture, we cannot hope to understand its connections to other key elements of the organization, such as structure and incentive systems. Nor can we develop good approaches to analyzing, preserving and transforming cultures. If we can define what organizational culture is, it gives us a handle on how to diagnose problems and even to design and develop better cultures. Beginning May 1, 2013, I facilitated a discussion around this question on Linked In. The more than 300 responses included rich and varied perspectives and opinions on organizational culture, its meaning and importance. I include several distinctive views below, illustrated by direct quotes from the Linked In discussion thread — and then I offer my own synthesis of these views. ("

"text": "Print Friendly Version By Lyn E. Haralson“Workforce development” is an essential component of community economic development in any economic climate, and certainly even more critical during the financial crises we’re experiencing today. Generally speaking, the term has come to describe a relatively wide range of activities, policies and programs employed by geographies to create, sustain and retain a viable workforce that can support current and future business and industry. Beyond this general understanding, it is difficult to gain a consensus as to the definition of workforce development, perhaps because each user of the term approaches it from a different perspective. Educational institutions and public and private social service providers, for example, approach workforce development and develop programs from the perspective of the sustainable economic security of the individual. Communities and economic developers, on the other hand, approach workforce development from a different view—that which benefits the sustainable economic growth of a community or region. Still another group—employers—approach workforce development from an organizational perspective, focusing on the skills their business or industry needs to remain competitive in the global marketplace. Dr. Robert Jacobs and Joshua D. Hawley, professors of Workforce Development and Education at Ohio State University sought to bring some continuity to the term by researching and ultimately developing a comprehensive definition. According to Jacobs and Hawley, “Workforce development is the coordination of public and private-sector policies and programs that provides individuals with the opportunity for a sustainable livelihood and helps organizations achieve exemplary goals, consistent with the societal context.” [ 1]Following are sample descriptions and activities of workforce development programs from each of the above perspectives, as well as a brief discussion of what perspective the Fed generally takes on workforce development and how the Eighth District community development team approaches the challenge. An individual-focused model centers on training and education The premise behind “individual centric” workforce development programs is that individuals will not be able to make substantive contributions to their respective societies without access to training and education."

For those interested in understanding organizational climate, it is important to make some distinctions. First, climate and culture are both important aspects of the overall context, environment or situation. Culture tends to be shared by all or most members of some social group; is something that older members usually try to pass on to younger members; shapes behavior and structures perceptions of the world. Cultures are often studied and understood at a national level, such as the American or French culture. Culture includes deeply held values, beliefs and assumptions, symbols, heroes and heroines, and rituals. Culture can be examined at an organizational level as well."

It encompasses a wide array of theories, processes, and activities, all of which are oriented toward the goal of improving individual organizations. OD stresses carefully planned approaches to changing or improving organizational structures and processes, in an attempt to minimize negative side effects and maximize organizational effectiveness. OD differs from traditional organizational change techniques in that it typically embraces a more holistic approach that is aimed at transforming thought and behavior throughout an entity. Like many other organizational change techniques, the basic OD process consists of gathering data, planning changes, and then implementing and managing the changes. However, OD initiatives are usually distinguished by the use of \"\"action research,\"\" change agents, and \"\"interventions. \"\" BACKGROUNDOrganization development is rooted in behavioral research that proliferated in the United States after World War II. That research led to the development in the late 1940s and 1950s of behavioral development strategies like sensitivity training, survey feedback, sociotechnical systems, and quality management. Chief among the early endeavors in the field of behavioral science were Kurt Lewin 's contributions to sensitivity training, or T-groups, during the mid-1940s (Lewin was the director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Lewin's research showed that informal discussions about individual and group behavior, when combined with feedback, were more educational for group members than were lectures and seminars."

Figure 6-1: Preliminary Phase6.1 Objectives The objectives of the Preliminary phase are: To review the organizational context for conducting enterprise architecture To identify the sponsor stakeholder (s) and other major stakeholders impacted by the business directive to create an enterprise architecture and determine their requirements and priorities from the enterprise, their relationships with the enterprise, and required working behaviors with each other To ensure that everyone who will be involved in, or benefit from, this approach is committed to the success of the architectural process To enable the architecture sponsor to create requirements for work across the affected business areas To identify and scope the elements of the enterprise organizations affected by the business directive and define the constraints and assumptions (particularly in a federated architecture environment)To define the \"\"architecture footprint\"\" for the organization - the people responsible for performing architecture work, where they are located, and their responsibilities To define the framework and detailed methodologies that are going to be used to develop enterprise architectures in the organization concerned (typically, an adaptation of the generic ADM)To confirm a governance and support framework that will provide business process and resources for architecture governance through the ADM cycle; these will confirm the fitness-for-purpose of the Target Architecture and measure its ongoing effectiveness (normally includes a pilot project)To select and implement supporting tools and other infrastructure to support the architecture activity To define the architecture principles that will form part of the constraints on any architecture work6.2 Approach This Preliminary phase is about defining \"\"where, what, why, who, and how we do architecture\"\" in the enterprise concerned. The main aspects are as follows: Defining the enterprise Identifying key drivers and elements in the organizational context Defining the requirements for architecture work Defining the architecture principles that will inform any architecture work Defining the framework to be used Defining the relationships between management frameworks Evaluating the enterprise architecture maturity The enterprise architecture provides a strategic, top-down view of an organization to enable executives, planners, architects, and engineers to coherently co-ordinate, integrate, and conduct their activities. The enterprise architecture framework provides the strategic context for this team to operate within. The term enterprise architecture was first coined by John Zachman as a means of creating a coherent way of modeling an enterprise to enable the efficient and effective deployment of IT. It leveraged concepts from other management and engineering frameworks making it easier to integrate enterprise architecture into the overall corporate culture and governance. Therefore, developing the enterprise architecture is not a solitary activity and the enterprise architects need to recognize the interoperability between their frameworks and the rest of the business. Strategic, interim, and tactical business objectives and aspirations need to be met. Similarly, the enterprise architecture needs to reflect this requirement and allow for operation of architecture discipline at different levels within the organization."

[ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Introduction2 Link with emotional capital3 Relationship with different organizational outcomes4 References5 External links Introduction [ edit]For decades psychology has been associated as dealing mainly with the treatment of mental illness, although other areas of research and application have existed since its origins. At the very end of the twentieth century a new approach in psychology gained popularity: positive psychology. Positive psychology, the study of optimal human functioning, is an attempt to respond to the systematic bias inherent in psychology's historical emphasis on mental illness rather than on mental wellness (Seligman, 2002), mainly by focusing on two, forgotten but classical psychological goals: Help ordinary people to live a more productive and meaningful life. A full realization of the potential that exists in the human being. Since Martin Seligman, a former head of American Psychological Association, chose positive psychology as the theme of his presidency term, more empirical research and theoretic development emerged in this field. Two new branches of positive psychology are being implemented into the industrial-organizational world. Positive organizational scholarship- originated by Kim Cameron and colleagues [2] is a research field that emphasizes the positive characteristics of the organization that facilitates its ability to function during periods of crisis. Positive organizational behavior (POB) – research by Luthans [3] focuses on valid measures of positive- psychological states that are open to development and have impact on desired employee attitudes, behaviors, and performance. Drawing from positive psychology constructs and empirical research, four psychological resources were determined to best meet the POB scientific inclusion criteria: Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism and were termed by Luthans and colleagues as psychological Capital or Psy Cap [4] Positive [5] [6] [7] In combination, the four constructs making up Psy Cap were empirically determined to be a second-order, core construct that had a stronger relationship with satisfaction and performance than each of the components by itself.

But in our Wal-Mart case, we find that management is universal if the manager becomes familiar with specific management tools which are to be applied in dealing with a diverse workforce. Managers need to learn on planning and thus deciding on the future of the organization as well as organizing their staff and delegating them duty with a clear chain of command to ensure efficiency and easy governance. ( Introduction to management). This is especially in dealing with a diverse workforce whose ideas are also diverse. Aim The aim of this study is to examine the main reasons why planning and organizing are such important management functions in an organization and especially using Wal-Mart as an example, in managing a diverse workforce. The study will also determine why and how Wal-Mart is successful in using the said management functions. Assumption and limitations The study will be limited to using only secondary sources of information. Primary sources are not used as we could not get hold of any Wal-Mart employee nor visit their stores and authentic the secondary information we had.

"text": "\"STRATEGY FORMULATIONFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Andres Rodriguez Stated simply, strategy is a road map or guide by which an organization moves from a current state of affairs to a future desired state. It is not only a template by which daily decisions are made, but also a tool with which long-range future plans and courses of action are constructed. Strategy allows a company to position itself effectively within its environment to reach its maximum potential, while constantly monitoring that environment for changes that can affect it so as to make changes in its strategic plan accordingly. In short, strategy defines where you are, where you are going, and how you are going to get there. HISTORYStrategic planning, as a formalized business process, has been in practice for almost 40 years. However, it is commonplace to find that a grand majority of organizations have no clear concept of how to effectively conduct the planning process. As a result, most strategic plans are poorly conceived and do nothing more than sit on a bookshelf; no real impact is ever made on the company and its activities. Fortunately, within the past decade or so, there have been attempts made to clarify the major components and processes of strategic planning. In this respect, it has become easier for ordinary an organization to effectively create and implement a first rate strategic plan. STRATEGY FORMULATIONBasic strategic planning is comprised of several components that build upon the previous piece of the plan, and operates much like a flow chart."

OD interventions involve respect for people, a climate of trust and support, shared power, open confrontation of issues, and the active participation of stakeholders. OD interventions are broader in scope, usually affecting the whole organization ( socio -technical systems). OD interventions are sponsored by the CEO and supported and “owned” by staff at the different levels of the organization. OD professionals must have a solid understanding of the different OD interventions to choose the most appropriate, or “mix and match” them -based on the expected results and a solid analysis of the organization and its environment. This blog presents a brief analysis of OD interventions using a classification proposed by M. Kormanik. Major OD Interventions OD interventions aim at improving organizational performance and employees’ well being. According to Robbins (1994), OD integrates a collection of planned change interventions that relies on humanistic and democratic values, aimed at improving organizational effectiveness, and employees’ well being. OD interventions rely on the following values: respect for people, trust and support, power equalization, confrontation and participation. Kormanik (2005) proposes a classification of OD interventions in 6 groups: large scale, strategic, technostructural, management and leadership development, team development and group processes, and individual and interpersonal processes."

Change Management is the process for obtaining the enterprise (or business) intelligence to perform transformation planning by assessing an organization's people and cultures to determine how changes in business strategies, organizational design, organizational structures, processes, and technology systems will impact the enterprise. Keywords: business transformation, complex systems, lifecycle development, organizational change management, organizational development, organizational strategy, organizational transformation, psychology, social sciences, stakeholder management, systems thinking, trust MITRE SE Roles & Expectations: MITRE systems engineers (SEs) are expected to be able to assist in formulating the strategy and the plans for transforming a customer's engineering/technical organization, structure, and processes, including the MITRE support to that organization. MITRE SEs are expected to recommend interfaces and interactions with other organizations, lead change, collaborate, build consensus across the MITRE support and other stakeholders for the transformation, and to assist in communicating the changes. To execute these roles and meet these expectations, MITRE system engineers are expected to understand the complex, open-systems nature of how organizations change, and the importance of developing the workforce transformation strategies as a critical, fundamental, and essential activity in framing a project plan. Systems engineers must understand the social processes and other factors (e.g., leadership, culture, structure, strategy, competencies, and psychological contracts) that affect the successful transformation of a complex organizational system. Context The objective of organizational change management is to enable organization members and other stakeholders to adapt to a sponsor's new vision, mission, and systems, as well as to identify sources of resistance to the changes and minimize resistance to them. Organizations are almost always in a state of change, whether the change is continuous or episodic. Change creates tension and strain in a sponsor's social system that the sponsor must adapt to so that it can evolve. Transformational planning and organizational change is the coordinated management of change activities affecting users, as imposed by new or altered business processes, policies, or procedures and related systems implemented by the sponsor."

All CMMI process areas are common to both continuous and staged representations. The continuous representation enables the organization to choose the focus of its process improvement efforts by choosing those process areas, or sets of interrelated process areas, that best benefit the organization and its business objectives. Although there are some limits on what an organization can choose because of the dependencies among process areas, the organization has considerable freedom in its selection. Once you select the process areas, you must also select how much you would like to improve the processes associated with those process areas (i.e., select the appropriate capability level). Capability levels and generic goals and practices support the improvement of processes in individual process areas. Conversely, you will see that the staged representation encourages you to always look at process areas in the context of the maturity level to which they belong. The process areas are organized by maturity levels to reinforce this concept. When you use a process area, you use the entire process area: all goals and all practices. The CMMI Process Areas (PAs) can be grouped into the following four categories to understand their interactions and links with one another regardless of their defined level: Process Management Project Management Engineering Support Each process area is defined by a set of goals and practices."

Since then its aims and activities have expanded to make it the archetypal international body in the early 21st century. Contents [ hide ]1 Origins1.1 1942 \"\"Declaration of United Nations\"\"1.2 Planning2 Establishment3 Activities4 Facilities5 Structure and associated organizations6 Milestones7 See also8 Further reading8.1 Primary sources9 References10 External links Origins [ edit]The earliest concrete plan for a new world organization to replace the ineffective League of Nations began under the aegis of the US State Department in 1939. [ 1] On 12 June 1941, representatives of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, and of the exiled governments of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia, as well as General de Gaulle of France, met in London and signed the Declaration of St. James's Palace. This was the first of six conferences that led up to the founding of the United Nations and the Charter of the United Nations. [ 2]U. S. President Franklin Roosevelt first suggested using the name United Nations, to refer to the Allies of World War II, to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during the latter's three-week visit to the White House in December 1941. Roosevelt suggested the name as an alternative to \"\"Associated Powers\"\", a term the U. S. used in the First World War (the U. S. was never formally a member of the Allies of World War I but entered the war in 1917 as a self-styled \"\"Associated Power\"\"). Churchill accepted the idea and cited Lord Byron 's use of the phrase \"\"United Nations\"\" in the poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, which referred to the Allies at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. [ 3] [4]1942 \"\"Declaration of United Nations\"\" [ edit]Main article: Declaration by United Nations The text of the \"\"Declaration of United Nations\"\" was drafted by U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Roosevelt aide Harry Hopkins, while meeting at the White House on 29 December 1941. It incorporated Soviet suggestions, but left no role for France."

Free Trial at atlassian.com8 Answers Kate Doherty Warren, International Development Career Advice Answered Jan 28, 2014Originally Answered: How do I get a job at the U. N. (United Nations)? While UN agencies do strive to have a diverse global workforce that is representative of both their donor and recipient countries, one of the biggest misconceptions I see is this notion that there is a hard and fast quota system, and that someone unqualified but from X country will be hired over someone more qualified from another. I work with many UN agencies providing recruitment services and can say I've never seen this play out. However, there is a clear bias for people who have previous UN system, so if you are up against an insider in can be difficult to win out. In order to even be considered for most international jobs you will need to have a) a Masters degree and b) at least, but preferably more, 3-5 years of relevant experience to the job, including working in an overseas location. You will also likely need to speak fluently 2 of the official UN languages, with English pretty much required. ( The others are: French, Arabic, Spanish, Russian and Chinese)."

The United Nations Emblem The design is \"\"a map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on the North Pole, inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree, in gold on a field of smoke-blue with all water areas in white. The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and includes five concentric circles\"\" (original description of the emblem).

The Convention defines a child as any human being under the age of eighteen, unless the age of majority is attained earlier under national legislation. [ 4]Nations that ratify this convention are bound to it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child. [ 5]Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website. The UN General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child ). [ 6] It came into force on 2 September 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. Currently, 196 countries are party to it, [1] including every member of the United Nations except the United States. ["

Pertinent to its background is an early 20th century multifaceted dispute and armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the newly gained independence of the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Since then, it has been an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations. The dispute arises from the ambiguity in nomenclature between the Republic of Macedonia, the adjacent Greek region of Macedonia and the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon (which falls mostly within Greek Macedonia). Citing historical and irredentist concerns, Greece opposes the use of the name \"\"Macedonia\"\" by the Republic of Macedonia without a geographical qualifier such as \"\"Northern Macedonia\"\" for use \"\"by all and for all purposes\"\". [ 1] As millions of ethnic Greeks identify themselves as Macedonians, unrelated to the Slavic people who are associated with the Republic of Macedonia, Greece further objects to the use of the term \"\"Macedonian\"\" for the neighboring country's largest ethnic group and its language. The Republic of Macedonia is accused of appropriating symbols and figures that are historically considered part of Greek culture such as the Vergina Sun and Alexander the Great, and of promoting the irredentist concept of a United Macedonia, which involves territorial claims on Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, and Serbia."

[ 7] Said to be \"\"the worst in 60 years\"\", [8] the drought caused a severe food crisis across Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya that threatened the livelihood of 9.5 million people. [ 6] Many refugees from southern Somalia fled to neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia, where crowded, unsanitary conditions together with severe malnutrition led to a large number of deaths. [ 9] Other countries in East Africa, including Sudan, South Sudan and parts of Uganda, were also affected by a food crisis. [ 8] [10] [11] [12]According to FAO -Somalia, the food crisis in Somalia primarily affected farmers in the south rather than the northern pastoralists. [ 13] Human Rights Watch (HRW) consequently noted that most of the displaced persons belonged to the agro-pastoral Rahanweyn clan and the agricultural Bantu ethnic minority group. [ 14] On 20 July, the United Nations officially declared famine in two regions in the southern part of the country (IPC Phase 5), the first time a famine had been declared in the region by the UN in nearly thirty years. [ 15] [16] Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died in southern Somalia before famine was declared. [ 15] This was mainly a result of Western governments preventing aid from reaching affected areas in an attempt to weaken the Al-Shabaab militant group, against whom they were engaged. [ 17] [18]Although fighting disrupted aid delivery in some areas, a scaling up of relief operations in mid-November had unexpectedly significantly reduced malnutrition and mortality rates in southern Somalia, prompting the UN to downgrade the humanitarian situation in the Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabele regions from famine to emergency levels.

"title": "http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Greaves\nLast name: Greaves",
"text": "\"Last name: Greaves SDB Popularity ranking: 981This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and has two possible sources. Firstly, the surname may be locational from a place thus called in Preston, Lancashire. The placename derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century \"\"graefe\"\", grove, brushwood, thicket. Locational surnames were developed when former inhabitants of a place moved to another area, usually to seek work, and were best identified by the name of their birthplace. Secondly, the surname may have been topographical for a \"\"dweller by the grove\"\", from the same derivation as before. Topographical surnames were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. Richard del Greues is noted in the 1246 Assize Rolls of Lancashire and Richard de Greves is listed in the 1259 Assize Rolls of Cheshire. In the modern idiom the surname can be found as Greave, Greve, Greaves, Greves and Greeves. On October 17th 1585, Thomas Greaves married Jone Gibbes at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, London, and John Greaves married Susan Malter at Limehouse, London, on April 16th 1597. A Coat of Arms granted to the family depicts a gold eagle displayed, armed and langued red, on a shield divided per bend green and red, the Crest being a gold demi eagle displayed, winged and langued red."

"text": "Humanities ›Languages The Meaning and Origins of Italian Last Names What Italian Last Names Mean Share Flipboard Email Print Thierry Hennet/Roo M/Getty Imagesby Michael San Filippo Updated March 07, 2017The origins of Italian surnames vary. Many are derived from the names of people, places, professions, or nicknames, and most originated in the Middle Ages, when the practice largely started. Frequently, the geographical origin of a person can be deduced from his last name, since certain endings are characteristic of certain regions. For example, the Italian last name Ferrero is associated with the Piemonte region, while Bissacco is associated with Friuli-Venezia Giulia. A large number of Italian surnames end in the letter i, due to the medieval Italian habit of identifying families by the name of the ancestors in the plural. Some Italian family names were formed using a modifying suffix, for example:» ello/illo/etto/ino, e.g., Bernardino, Bernardello » one, e.g., Mangione » accio/azzo/asso , e.g., Boccaccio The Italian preposition di is often used to indicate parenthood; many Italian surnames arise from this use: Di Pietro, Di Stefano. Family names with the prefix Di are spread throughout Italy, with the highest frequency in Abruzzo-Molise, Sicily, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and the Veneto. Family names with the prefix De are typical in Southern Italy and Sardinia; they are also somewhat common with surnames native to Northern Italy.

"text": "\"Last name: Grieve SDB Popularity ranking: 1349Recorded in several spellings including: Greave, Greeve, Grieve, Greaves, Greeves, and Greves, this is an English surname. It is either locational from the former hamlet of Greaves in the parish of Preston, Lancashire, or it is topographical from residence by a thicket or grove of trees. The word and hence the surname, derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century \"\"graefe\"\" meaning brushwood, and is first recorded at the beginning of the 13th Century. Locational surnames are usually \"\"from\"\" names. These were names given to people after they left their original homes to move somewhere else, as an easy means of identification. Spelling being at best erratic and local accents very thick, soon lead the developments of \"\"sounds like\"\" spellings. In this case early examples of the surname recordings include: Walter en le Greve in the pipe rolls of the county of Staffordshire in the year 1210, Richard del Greves in the Assize Court register for Lancashire in 1246, and Adam del Grefes in the manorial roll for the city of Wakefield, Yorkshire, in 1314. Other recordings include May, the daughter of John Greaves, who is given as being a pewterer, christened at St. Dionis Backchurch, in the city of London in 1610. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Geoffrey de la Greue. This was dated 1203, in the \"\"Pipe Rolls\"\" of Leicestershire, during the reign of King John, known as \"\"Lackland\"\" 1199 - 1216."

Henry Cow's personnel fluctuated over their decade together, but drummer Chris Cutler, bassist John Greaves, and bassoonist/oboist Lindsay Cooper were important long-term members alongside Frith and Hodgkinson. An inherent anti-commercial attitude kept them at arm's length from the mainstream music business, enabling them to experiment at will. Critic Myles Boisen [1] writes, \"\"their sound was so mercurial and daring that they had few imitators, even though they inspired many on both sides of the Atlantic with a blend of spontaneity, intricate structures, philosophy, and humor that has endured and transcended the ' progressive ' tag. \"\" While it was generally thought that Henry Cow took their name from 20th-century American composer Henry Cowell, this has been repeatedly denied by band members. [ 2] [3] According to Hodgkinson, the name \"\"Henry Cow\"\" was \"\"in the air\"\" in 1968, and it seemed like a good name for the band. It had no connection to anything.

Special issue: The Lithuanian Language — Past and Present I - The Origin of the Lithuanian Language WILLIAM R. SCHMALSTIEG The Pennsylvania State University\"\"Lithuanian is a very old language.\"\" This is a bit of mythology which is constantly repeated whenever the subject of the Lithuanian language arises. It seems, however, that very few people ever take the time to ask exactly what this means. Every language has a history extending back to the date of its earliest historical records and one assumes that there existed speakers of this language even before the historical records. There is no human population anywhere in the world that does not have some language and it seems likely that the ability to speak a language is a fundamental property of all mankind. Certainly Lithuanian is a very old language, but so is every language spoken today. The origin of language in general is shrouded in mystery, but all nations have a language. Let us try here, however, to understand a little bit about what we humans do know about language development, although it behooves us to be quite modest about achievements in this regard. Every advance in science tells us that we know less than we thought we did. By the words historical linguistics we mean the science which concerns itself with the ways languages change, how the sounds and forms of one stage of a language became different at a later stage of the same language, how the meanings of words change during the course of time."

"text": "What Can That Suffix on Your Family’s Name Tell You? Surnamesby [Photo credit: Shutterstock]What can your ancestors’ last names tell you? There are sometimes clues — about where a surname comes from and what it means — built right into the name itself. Let’s look at some of the more common surname suffixes, the little bits on the ends of family names that might tell you what language the name comes from and how the name came about.14-Day Free Trial GIVE ME ACCESSEnglish The suffixes -son/-s/-kin/-kins/-ken at the end of an English name denote “son of” or “little.” Julia Roberts probably descends from someone who was, at the time surnames were being taken, the son of a man named Robert. The same with someone named Robertson. Occasionally -son was added to a mother’s given name, instead of a father’s, to form a surname. The suffix -son appeared more often in the north, while an -s more likely suggests southern or western English ancestry. Surnames ending in –ing or –kin indicate this sort of patronymic name as well. Some examples include Ewing, Harkin, Atkins, and Aiken."

He played almost all of his club football at Manchester United, where he became renowned for his attacking instincts and passing abilities from midfield and his ferocious long-range shot. He was also well known for his fitness and stamina. He was cautioned only twice in his career; once against Argentina in the 1966 World Cup, and once in a league match against Chelsea. His elder brother Jack, who was also in the World Cup-winning team, is a former defender for Leeds United and international manager. Born in Ashington, Northumberland, Charlton made his debut for the Manchester United first-team in 1956, and over the next two seasons gained a regular place in the team, during which time he survived the Munich air disaster of 1958 after being rescued by Harry Gregg."

Introduction An Introduction to Classification Specifics on Common Languages Ada Assembly Language Bash CC++C Sharp DFortran Go Groovy Java Java Script Lisp Lua MATLABObjective-CPascal Perl PHPPython RRuby Swift Visual Basic Comparison Programming languages are the most important tools of any software developer or computer programmer, without them software development and computer programming, as it we know it, would not be possible. This post started out as a section of the glossary of the A Comparison of Free Operating Systems post, but I have decided to make it a whole new post. I should mention, however, that my programming knowledge is in its infancy (mostly limited to some Bash, MATLAB/GNU Octave and Python knowledge), so much of this post is based on external resources that I have read and digested into a (hopefully) coherent blog post. An Introduction to Classification Programming languages can be implemented (or executed, that is, run) via one of two methods: Interpretation. This method is basically what it sounds like: it is when the program’s source code is translated into a series of actions implemented by the computer’s hardware. Compilation. Compilers essentially serve as translators between languages — transforming one programming language into another computer language, which can then be compiled further into another language or fed into an interpreter. Some compilers ( native code compilers [ NCCs ]) compile programming languages directly into machine code (which as its name suggests is a set of instructions that can be directly interpreted by a computer’s Central Processing Unit). Assembly languages (explained later) are usually compiled using NCCs."

"text": "We know satanists believe abortion is sacred as we have documented several times. Now, a St Louis, Missouri Satanic Temple is raising funds to get a woman an abortion. According to sources, the Satanic Temple has raised enough money via the Go Fund Me crowdsourcing website to pay for a southwest Missouri woman to travel to St. Louis for an abortion. The Go Fund Me site has since been removed. The elusive “Mary” for which the fund was created, has, with the help of the Satanists created a “ Satanic Religious exemption form ” which reads in part: My body is inviolable and subject to my will alone…. As you know, state law requires a waiting period after I first receive counseling before I can undergo an abortion. I regard a waiting period as a state sanctioned attempt to discourage abortion by instilling an unnecessary burden as part of the process to obtain this legal medical procedure. The waiting period interferes with the inviolability of my body and thereby imposes an unwanted and substantial burden on my sincerely held religious beliefs. CLICK LIKE IF YOU’RE PRO-LIFE!This letter constitutes my acknowledgment that you have notified me of the state mandated waiting period, but demands that you do not abide by this obligation because the waiting period offends my sincerely held religious beliefs, which take precedent. Lucien Graves, leader of The Satanic Temple explained their reasons: As Satanists we believe in individual autonomy, personal choice, and the inviolability of one’s own body."

What is “the preparation of the gospel of peace”? ( 1) It has seemed to many natural to illustrate this phrase by the celebrated passage ( Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15 ), “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace”; and to interpret, “shod in (or, for) preparing the way of the gospel of peace.” But this is inappropriate to the whole context; for each piece of armour is a quality, and not a function. ( 2) Again, the word rendered “preparation,” is found nowhere else in the New Testament; in the LXX. we find it used in its most obvious sense of “preparedness” or “readiness” (as in Psalm 10:17, “preparedness of heart,” and Nehemiah 2:3 ); but this sense will not suit the passage, for “readiness of the gospel of peace” is hardly intelligible, and certainly is not a quality of the soul. ( 3) We come therefore, at last, to a derivative and improper sense, which, however, is most frequently used in the LXX., viz., “ foundation” or “base,” as in Daniel 11:7; Ezra 2:6; Ezra 3:3; Zechariah 5:10; Psalm 88:14."

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."

Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher than average. It is a characteristic of children, variously defined, that motivates differences in school programming. It is thought to persist as a trait into adult life, with various consequences studied in longitudinal studies of giftedness over the last century. There is no generally agreed definition of giftedness for either children or adults, but most school placement decisions and most longitudinal studies over the course of individual lives have followed people with IQs in the top two percent of the population – that is, IQs above 130. Definitions of giftedness also vary across cultures. The various definitions of intellectual giftedness include either general high ability or specific abilities. For example, by some definitions an intellectually gifted person may have a striking talent for mathematics without equally strong language skills. In particular, the relationship between artistic ability or musical ability and the high academic ability usually associated with high IQ scores is still being explored, with some authors referring to all of those forms of high ability as \"\"giftedness\"\", while other authors distinguish \"\"giftedness\"\" from \"\"talent\"\"."

It is defined by an IQ under 70 in addition to deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors that affect everyday, general living. Once focused almost entirely on cognition, the definition now includes both a component relating to mental functioning and one relating to individuals' functional skills in their environments. As a result of this focus on the person's abilities in practice, a person with an unusually low IQ may not be considered to have intellectually disability. Intellectual disability is subdivided into syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits associated with other medical and behavioral signs and symptoms are present, and non-syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits appear without other abnormalities. Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome are examples of syndromic intellectual disabilities. Intellectual disability affects about 2–3% of the general population. [ 6] Seventy-five to ninety percent of the affected people have mild intellectual disability. [ 6] Non-syndromic or idiopathic cases account for 30–50% of cases. ["

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Intelligence quotient An intelligence quotient, or IQ, is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. The abbreviation \"\"IQ\"\" comes from the German term Intelligenz-Quotient, originally coined by psychologist William Stern. When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately 95 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 130, which is within two standard deviations of the median. IQ scores have been shown to be associated with such factors as morbidity and mortality, parental social status, and, to a substantial degree, biological parental IQ. While the heritability of IQ has been investigated for nearly a century, there is still debate about the significance of heritability estimates and the mechanisms of inheritance. IQ scores are used as predictors of educational achievement, special needs, job performance and income. They are also used to study IQ distributions in populations and the correlations between IQ and other variables."

The characteristics of normal distribution apply to IQ scores as well. 50% of scores range from 90 to 110, while 70% range from 85 to 115. 95% falls between 70 to 130, and 99.5% ranges from 60 to 140, forming a bell-shaped curve of normal distribution among the general population. So If you have an IQ score as tested by the accepted intelligence tests… (Not some 10 item “brain” quiz on the internet)…and you score around 100 you will have obtained an average IQ on the test. Your overall intelligence might be a little lower or higher but your intelligence would be as good as most of the people on the planet. Even an IQ of 85 would not be terribly problematic nor would one of 115 make you a brilliant genius but you could likely complete a college education. 140 would reflect significantly high intellectual functioning and 60, significantly low. Regardless of IQ our ability to get along with and relate and cooperate with others can increase our overall functioning and being without those characteristics can make life difficult for folks with very high IQ’s."

Despite the presence of scholars in many subjects throughout history, many geniuses have shown high achievements in only a single kind of activity.

January 11, 1990 N Engl J Med 1990; 322:83-88 DOI: 10.1056/NEJM199001113220203Article Figures/Media29 References 539 Citing Articles Letters Abstract To determine whether the effects of low-level lead exposure persist, we reexamined 132 of 270 young adults who had initially been studied as primary schoolchildren in 1975 through 1978. In the earlier study, neurobehavioral functioning was found to be inversely related to dentin lead levels. As compared with those we restudied, the other 138 subjects had had somewhat higher lead levels on earlier analysis, as well as significantly lower IQ scores and poorer teachers' ratings of classroom behavior. When the 132 subjects were reexamined in 1988, impairment in neurobehavioral function was still found to be related to the lead content of teeth shed at the ages of six and seven. The young people with dentin lead levels >20 ppm had a markedly higher risk of dropping out of high school (adjusted odds ratio, 7.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.4 to 40.7) and of having a reading disability (odds ratio, 5.8; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.7 to 19.7) as compared with those with dentin lead levels <10 ppm. Higher lead levels in childhood were also significantly associated with lower class standing in high school, increased absenteeism, lower vocabulary and grammatical-reasoning scores, poorer hand—eye coordination, longer reaction times, and slower finger tapping. No significant associations were found with the results of 10 other tests of neurobehavioral functioning. Lead levels were inversely related to self-reports of minor delinquent activity. We conclude that exposure to lead in childhood is associated with deficits in central nervous system functioning that persist into young adulthood. ("

This provides a maximum estimate of genetic versus environmental influence for phenotypic variation in IQ in that population. \"\" Heritability \"\", in this sense, \"\"refers to the genetic contribution to variance within a population and in a specific environment\"\".

[ 2] Intelligence in the normal range is a polygenic trait, meaning that it is influenced by more than one gene. [ 3] [4]Although the heritability of IQ for adults is between 58% and 77%, [5] (with some more-recent estimates as high as 80% [6] and 86% [7]) genome-wide association studies have so far identified only 20%-50% of the genetic variation that contributes to heritability.

By breaking down this definition, we can get a clearer understanding of exactly what intelligence is.“ Global ” means that a person’s intelligence affects many areas of their life. For example, we think of smart people as people who are good at many things.“ Thinking clearly ” means the ability to use both inductive reasoning/inductive logic ( i.e., determining what theories may explain your data) and deductive reasoning/deductive logic ( i.e., determining what else could be true based on what you already know) when forming conclusions, rather than doing so based on emotional responses. The main feature of intelligence is the ability to use convergent thinking ( i.e., putting different ideas or information together based on what they each have in common when trying to solve a problem ), and this is something that can be tested for by using intelligence tests. An intelligent person knows how to use their brain to its fullest potential. A person with intelligence is also able to interact with other people or things in their surrounding environment, thereby allowing them to “ function effectively ” within it. For example, to achieve a desired goal or outcome. Types of Intelligence In the 1930s, a researcher by the name of Louis Thurstone created a factor analysis of intelligence which allowed for sets of data to be analyzed for trends."

There are several ways to define intelligence. In some cases, intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom. However,most psychologists prefer not to include these traits in the definition of intelligence. [ How to reference and link to summary or text]Theories of intelligence can be divided into those based on a unilinear construct of general intelligence and those based on multiple intelligences. Francis Galton, influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin, was the first to advance a theory of general intelligence. For Galton, intelligence was a real faculty with a biological basis that could be studied by measuring reaction times to certain cognitive tasks. Galton's research on measuring the head size of British scientists and ordinary citizens led to the conclusion that head size had no relationship with the person's intelligence. Alfred Binet and the French school of intelligence believed that intelligence was an average of numerous dissimilar abilities, rather than a unitary entity with specific identifiable properties. The Stanford-Binet intelligence test has been used by both theorists of general intelligence and multiple intelligence."

IQ can be defined as an intrinsic depiction of someone’s intelligence in a scientific attempt although not perfect be defined by a quantitative measurement. The IQ test itself is a measurement of relative intelligence from a population group determined from a standardized test consisting of a multiple choice questionnaire. It is a number that measures the people's cognitive abilities (intelligence) in relation to their age group. An Intelligence Quotient indicates a person's mental abilities relative to other persons of approximately the same age. The IQ is a number that ranges from 0 to 200+ and is a ratio that is derived by comparing mental age to chronological age. The intelligence quotient is defined as 100 times the Mental Age (MA) divided by the Chronological Age (CA). The IQ Score is normalised at 100 with the vast population falling somewhere between an IQ of 90 and 110, this range is considered normal or average intelligence. A higher IQ score means that the person is mentally advanced for his age and has a high IQ and a lower IQ means the opposite. IQs can be as high as 200 in adults and 250 in children."

"text": "Social Studies 201January 12, 2004Measurement of variables – Chapter 31. Introduction Chapter 3 of the text discusses different ways of classifying and measuring variables describing a population. The different characteristics of a population (the variables) can be organized and measured in various ways. The considerations associated with different forms of measurement are discussed in section 3.2 of the text. As an example of how forms of measurement differ, consider three variables – sex, age, and attitude. The variable sex has only two characteristics, male and female, and there are no numerical values necessarily associated with these. In contrast, age of an individual is ordinarily measured numerically in number of years, so that a student may be 20 years old and a professor 60 years old. In the case of attitude scales, the measurement may be numerical on a five-point scale from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5) – but the numbers attached are somewhat arbitrary. In the above examples, sex is an example of a nominal scale of measurement, or a classification or categorization; attitude is ordinal, or an ordering or ranking of responses; and age has an interval and ratio scale of measurement, with meaningful measures of distances and ratios between values. Each of these will be explained in the following notes."

Goals may be defined at all levels of the enterprise and doing so may aid in acceptance of processes by those who will use them. Some goals include Increasing consistency and confidence in decision making Decreasing the risk of regulatory fines Improving data security, also defining and verifying the requirements for data distribution policies [2]Maximizing the income generation potential of data Designating accountability for information quality Enable better planning by supervisory staff Minimizing or eliminating re-work Optimize staff effectiveness Establish process performance baselines to enable improvement efforts Acknowledge and hold all gain These goals are realized by the implementation of Data governance programs, or initiatives using Change Management techniques. When companies desire, or are required, to gain control of their data, they empower their people, set up processes and get help from technology to do it. [ 3]According to one vendor, data governance is a quality control discipline for assessing, managing, using, improving, monitoring, maintaining, and protecting organizational information. It is a system of decision rights and accountabilities for information-related processes, executed according to agreed-upon models which describe who can take what actions with what information, and when, under what circumstances, using what methods. [ 4]Data governance drivers [ edit]While data governance initiatives can be driven by a desire to improve data quality, they are more often driven by C-Level leaders responding to external regulations."

And it is not due to brain damage, a myth that most people have believed for the past century. Rather, dyslexia was discovered by Dr Levinson to be a syndrome of multiple varied reading and non-reading symptoms affecting over 40 million American children and adults. Ever since the early 1970's, Dr. Harold Levinson’s groundbreaking research has continued to demonstrate that the symptoms of Dyslexia and related Learning Disabilities (LD), Attention Deficit, and related Phobic Disorders are due to a simple signal-scrambling disturbance of inner-ear (and cerebellar) origin. In other words, the inner-ear and its supercomputer, the cerebellum, act as a “fine-tuner” for all motor (balance/coordination and rhythmic) signals leaving the brain and all sensory and related cognitive signals entering it. As a result, normal thinking brains will have difficulty processing the scrambled or distorted signals received. And the final symptoms will depend on:the specific inner-ear (CV) dysfunction and pattern of scrambled signals,the degree of signal-scrambling,the location and function of the varied normal brain centers receiving and having to process these scrambled signals, as well asthe brain’s compensatory ability for descrambling and reprogramming. As a result of one primary signal-scrambling dysfunction of the inner-ear and its supercomputer, there often results a wide range of reading and non-reading symptoms in dyslexia involving over 15 major areas of functioning. These include difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, math, and memory. Most important, the thinking brain or cerebral cortex was shown to play a vital compensatory descrambling or reprogramming role in dyslexia — thus explaining the favorable prognosis and IQ’s in dyslexia vs. alexia."

Psittacosis is an infectious disease usually spread to humans from infected birds in the parrot family. Birds in the parrot family, or psittacines, include parrots, macaws, budgerigars (parakeets or budgies), and cockatiels. Domestic turkeys and pigeons have also infected people. Bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci cause the disease. Who gets psittacosis? Because birds in the parrot family spread this disease, it is occasionally found in pet store workers, bird owners, zoo employees, and veterinarians. It may also rarely be found in farmers and slaughterhouse workers who process poultry (turkeys, chickens, and ducks), especially turkeys. It is a rare disease in the U. S. with fewer than 10 cases reported per year since 2010. Because of modern laws that regulate the pet bird trade, psittacosis is less common than it used to be."

Since then, reports of Lyme disease have increased dramatically, and the disease has become an important public health problem in some areas of the United States. Lyme disease is an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a member of the family of spirochetes, or corkscrew-shaped bacteria. How the disease is spread Lyme disease is spread by the bite of ticks of the genus Ixodes that are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. The deer (or bear) tick, Ixodes dammini, which normally feeds on the white-footed mouse, the white-tailed deer, other mammals, and birds, is responsible for transmitting Lyme disease bacteria to humans in the northeastern and north-central United States. ( In these regions, this tick is also responsible for the spreading of babesiosis, a disease caused by a malaria-like parasite.) On the Pacific Coast, the bacteria are transmitted to humans by the western black-legged tick, Ixodes pacificus, and in the southeastern states possibly by the black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis. Ixodes ticks are much smaller than common dog and cattle ticks. In their larval and nymphal stages, they are no bigger than a pinhead."

Psittacosis can infect a variety of species including humans, birds, cows, cats, goats, sheep, and pigs. Among the bird species, it will infect just about anything with feathers including pet birds (psittacines), ratites, pigeons, poultry, ducks, and other migratory birds. The transmission from bird to bird is primarily by inhalation of infected dust from droppings or respiratory secretions. It is often seen in birds that have been in close quarters such as quarantine stations, pet shops, or boarding facilities. Birds tend to shed the organism if stressed but may not show any signs of the disease. Symptoms No symptoms are specific to psittacosis. Birds can show any of the following signs: lack of appetite, weight loss, depression, listlessness, difficulty breathing, watery green droppings, pink eyes, discharge from eyes or nares, or sudden death. Those birds that are carriers and used for breeding can pass it to their offspring who may then die in the nest or at weaning or become carriers themselves."

C. which lasted two years and the second outbreak in the winter of 426 which lasted no less than a year . During this time the city was under siege by Sparta so the population had been moved within the city walls, which would have led to overcrowding and with the humid temperature, poor water supply and no sewerage. Any virus would have spread very quickly which could explain why the disease spread so quickly and was so deadly. Our account for the disease is Thucydides who also suffered from it and observed other sufferers, and so his aim was to produce a precise scientific account which could assist others if the disease should occur again. What is particularly interesting about the disease is that it affected not just children and the elderly but young men as well, which is quite uncommon as young men are usually the least susceptible to disease. One explanation for this could be that the men were the only ones who left the household and would visit other people. Therefore if they were going out and mixing with other people and visiting people who were dying of the disease, this could explain why they also suffered from it. The death rate from the plague is also very alarming, as in the first outbreak there was a mortality rate of 33% and in the second outbreak 26%. A reason why the death rate was higher in the first outbreak could be because the humid temperatures helped it to spread faster and by the second outbreak initial sufferers had become immune to the disease. The disease also affected birds and dogs showing that the disease was not just limited to humans."

More than a dozen types of bird flu have been identified, including the two strains that have most recently infected humans — H5N1 and H7N9. When bird flu does strike humans, it can be deadly. Outbreaks of bird flu have occurred in Asia, Africa, North America and parts of Europe. Most people who have developed symptoms of bird flu have had close contact with sick birds. In a few cases, bird flu has passed from one person to another. Only sporadic human cases have been reported since 2015. Health officials worry that a global outbreak could occur if a bird flu virus mutates into a form that transmits more easily from person to person. Researchers are working on vaccines to help protect people from bird flu. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of bird flu may begin within two to seven days of infection, depending on the type."

H., Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Division of Infectious Diseases, International STD and Biothreat Research Laboratory, for assistance in the preparation of this report. Synonyms of Psittacosisornithosisparrot fever General Discussion Psittacosis is an uncommon infectious disease that is most often transmitted to humans through exposure to infected birds, especially parrots, cockatiels, parakeets and similar pet birds. Psittacosis can affect the lungs and may cause inflammatory illness of the lungs (pneumonia). Additional common symptoms include fever, muscle pain (myalgia), headaches, and a dry cough. Psittacosis is caused by infection with the bacterium, Chlamydia psittaci, and may also be known as ornithosis. It is rare among humans. People who own birds as pets are most likely to be affected by psittacosis. In addition, psittacosis may affect people who work in environments with birds that may be carriers of the infection such as pet store workers, farmers, veterinarians and ranchers. Signs & Symptoms The symptoms and severity of psittacosis can vary greatly. Some individuals may not develop any symptoms (asymptomatic) or only have a very mild infection; others can develop serious widespread infection that affects several organ systems of the body."

In the human literature, the disease is usually called Eastern, Western or Venezuelan equine encephalitis. Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus There are two variants of the Eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) virus. The virus found in North America is more pathogenic than the variant that occurs in South and Central America. The Eastern equine encephalitis virus can cause disease in humans, horses and some species of birds. Western Equine Encephalomyelitis Viruses The Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) virus group includes the Western equine encephalitis (WEE), Sindbis, Ft. Morgan, Aura and Y 61-33 viruses. The Western equine encephalitis virus can cause disease in humans, horses and some species of birds. A related virus, the Highlands J virus, is sometimes isolated in the eastern United States. The Highlands J virus can cause disease in turkeys."

Related to bird flu: Avian flu Bird Flu Definition Bird flu is an infectious disease caused by strains of the Type A influenza viruses that ordinarilyonly infect birds. Avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infected and caused the deaths of people. Description Bird flu, which is also known as avian influenza, was first identified in Italy more than 100 yearsago. Avian viruses occur naturally in birds, and can infect birds including chickens, ducks,geese, turkeys, pheasants, quail, and guinea fowl. The avian influenza viruses generally do notinfect humans. Avian viruses are carried around the world by migratory birds. Wild ducks are natural reservoirs of the infection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Those wild birds generally don'tbecome ill, but avian flu is extremely contagious and has caused some domesticated birds to become very ill and die. The casualties included chickens, turkeys, and ducks."

The incidence of infection in canaries and finches is believed to be lower than in psittacine birds.

"text": "\"Transmission of Infectious Disease Introduction A century ago infectious diseases were by far the leading cause of death throughout the world. The graph on the right shows estimated survival among people born in the United Kingdom in the mid 1800s. Approximately 70% died before the age of 25, and the vast majority of deaths occurred among infants and children as a result of infectious disease. The emergence of \"\"The Sanitary Idea\"\" and the evolution of public health in the United Kingdom in the mid-1800s, the risk of infectious disease declined progressively. At present atherosclerotic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease (stroke) remain the leading causes of death worldwide, but as the table below shows, infectious diseases still remain important causes of death. Perhaps more importantly, infectious diseases remain the #1 cause of premature death throughout the world because of a particularly heavy toll in infants and children. It is estimated that 17 million people die prematurely each year, and 9 million of these are children. It is further estimated that this translates into approximately 50,000 preventable deaths per day. Public health measures have accounted for the vast majority of reductions in deaths from infectious disease through better sanitation, cleaner water, and the development of vaccines. A key to this success has been an increasingly refined understanding of the mechanisms by which infectious agents are transmitted."

"text": "Editor’s note: Having just submitted a major grant on Friday and then having had to turn around and head to an NIH study section meeting today in Bethesda, I just didn’t have the time to produce something up to the usual standards of SBM for today. ( And, being managing editor, I should know what’s up to the usual standards of SBM; what I started to write wasn’t it. Trust me on this.) Fortunately, Dr. Grant Ritchey and Dr. Steve Hendry, two skeptical, science-based dentists, did submit something up to SBM ’s usual standards. Even better, since we’ve been having a number of requests for posts involving dentistry, it seemed like a perfect time to publish their first contribution to SBM and see how our readers like it. Maybe next time around, I’ll have them update the “state of knowledge” regarding amalgams. Form follows function, as the old saying goes. Nowhere in the human body is this adage more fitting than in the oral cavity. In less than two generations, the practice of dentistry has evolved from basic pain relief and function-based procedures (such as extractions and fillings), into today’s practices of complex cosmetic rehabilitation, orthopedic and orthodontic management of the teeth, jaws, and facial structures, replacing missing teeth with dental implants, and treatment of sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, to name but a few. With such rapid progress, it is to be expected that for every science based advance made in our field, there are just as many claims that are either dubious in their evidential support or outright pseudo-scientific or anti-scientific nonsense."

Migraines can frequently be made less severe and less frequent by treating the neuromuscular triggers. Some patients treated by neuromuscular dentistry for migraines may still have aura without pain, or pain intensity may be decreased eliminating or reducing medication required. Some migraines can be eliminated if the trigger is related to the craniomandibular system. Migraines are usually associated with the trigeminal nervous system. The Trigeminal nerve is a major input into the brain. Approximately 20% of the input to the brain comes from the spinal cord. The other 80% comes from 12 sets of cranial nerves that go directly to the body from the brain. These nerves control taste, smell, sight, vision, muscles of facial expression, eye movements, and proprioception as well as our autonomic nervous system. Seventy percent of the cranial nerve input is from the trigeminal nerve."

Whether it is the right choice for you or not, depends on your skills, interests, capability, determination, etc. Here are the pros and cons of dentistry in a nutshell - Pros: 1) Income The one thing everyone asks for in a career option or a job is - will this be sufficient to provide for myself? Once you become a dentist, rest assured you will be self-sufficient. Dentists are well-known for being rather expensive, and in the wide array of work done ranging from a simple consultation to an implant procedure, each job gives excellent returns. The rates of dental work differs in different countries, but in general provides with good income. 2) Flexibility In contrast to a doctor or most other jobs in the medical field, dentists have flexible timings and can give appointments according to their convenience. If you have adequate personnel back at your clinic, you can go on family events and vacations without any worries."

"text": "Question Asked 6 years ago Mark Hamalainen15.02 Halcyon Molecular What is the average length of DNA molecules in human cells? Another way to ask the question is: what is the frequency of nicks and double strand breaks in human DNA in vivo? Genetics Share Popular Answers ( 2)6 years ago Deleted profile Added an answer Hi Mark,I'm not entirely sure if this will answer your question, but feel free to drop me a line if youwanna specify your question. As you most certainly know, the DNA in human cells undergoes numerous damagingevents each day caused by exogenous (radiation such as UV-light, toxins) and endogenous (e.g. radicals derived from cell internal metabolism) processes. It is hard to put down an exactnumber and even harder to exactly differentiate between nicks and double-strand breaks (DSBs),but it is estimated that about 2*10^4 DNA damaging events occur per day in each cell. ( 1)In the literature the numbers normally vary between 10.000 and 40.000 events per cell per day. ( e.g. 2, 3, 4)Most likely, the major part of these DNA damage events results from endogenous sources such asreactive oxygen species (ROS). ( 5)Although it is said that DNA damage can occur at any time on any genomic location, the distribution ofe.g. DSBs across the chromosome might be dependent on the cell cycle stage, since the chromatinstructure undergoes major changes during the cell cycle. Certain regions might be better protecteddue to protein binding while highly condensed regions might on the other hand be less accessible for DNA repair and might require restructuring. ("

[ 1] [2] The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias ( γαλαξίας ), literally \"\"milky\"\", a reference to the Milky Way. Galaxies range in size from dwarfs with just a few hundred million (10 8) stars to giants with one hundred trillion (10 14) stars, [3] each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass. Galaxies are categorized according to their visual morphology as elliptical, [4] spiral, or irregular. [ 5] Many galaxies are thought to have black holes at their active centers. The Milky Way's central black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, has a mass four million times greater than the Sun. ["

After that it will become a read giant and then around 11 billion years it will become a white dwarf. Our Sun is a 3rd generation star (or population I star) The fist stars formed about 400 million years after the big bang and they were massive and called population III stars or metal free stars as they were comprised of nothing but hydrogen and helium.

Use \"\"Back\"\" to return here. How Stars are Born No one has ever observed stars go through their life cycle, but astronomers can observe many stars at different stages in their life cycles. In addition, astronomers can calculate what would happen to stars under various conditions, and attempt to match the predictions against actual stars. The overall outlines of stellar evolution are probably accurately known, but there are many unanswered questions, some of them big ones, and very likely there are surprises waiting for astronomers as well. Stars are believed to form when clouds of interstellar gas and dust start to contract under the influence of gravity. In interstellar space, far from other stars, a cloud of gas can be very thin and still be dense enough to begin contracting. Many astronomers believe violent explosions of older stars create shock waves that help start the contraction process, at the same time enriching the gas in heavy chemical elements. In all likelihood, a cloud will condense into many stars and form a star cluster. Initially, a cloud destined to become a star will be roughly spherical."

Supernovas are the principal distributors of heavy elements throughout the universe; all elements heavier than iron are produced in supernovas. Supernovas also are the principal heat source for interstellar matter and may be a source of cosmic rays. Recent discoveries have confirmed an underlying connection between supernovas and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Both are associated with the deaths of massive stars and they often happen nearly simultaneously. There is no generally agreed upon model for how a massive star explodes. However, the association with gamma rays has renewed interest in the role played by stellar rotation and magnetic fields. Distribution of Supernovas At peak intensity, a supernova can shine as brightly as the entire galaxy in which it occurs. Novas are less spectacular and more common; they increase in brightness only by a few thousand times, and several occur in our galaxy every year. Supernovas can occur in that small percentage of stars having a mass greater than 8 to 10 times the mass of the sun and perhaps in certain binary stars."

Although there is apparently no liquid water on Mars now, it is believed that the Martian landscape has water trapped in the form of permafrost. Over long timescales, the climate may change on Mars just as it seems to do on Earth (ice ages). When the temperature is high enough, the water can be freed from the permafrost and/or cause landslides in it. Other surface features include volcanoes (tallest in the Solar System - about 3x as high as the highest mountains on Earth), continent-like areas, and ancient lava flows. The volcanoes on Mars are dead now, but how did they get so big? First, plate motion was nonexistent, so upwellings of the kind that created the Hawaiian islands wouldn't have formed a chain of volcanoes - it would've been one large peak instead (we get a chain of islands on the Earth because plate motion drags a plate across a hot spot, making islands as it goes. No movement means all the building happens in the same location). Also, the surface gravity on Mars is about 1/3 of Earth's, so it seems reasonable that volcanoes could grow 3 times larger there, as the force of gravity is what would be expected to drag them back down to lower levels."

And it is one of the stunning achievements of twentieth century science that the question of where these elements came from has now been answered. The story of the origin of the elements is intimately intertwined with the evolution of our universe. It is also a central part of the evolution of life on Earth. The elements that make up our bodies reflect the cosmic abundance of the elements, and their presents on the Earth is, itself, part of the evolutionary history of stars. As Neil de Grasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and the director of New York City’s Hayden Planetarium, has put it:“We are not simply in the universe; we are born from it.” ( Tyson 1998).

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. Somebody technical at particle physics may give a detail answer on this."

Both Mars and Venus have volcanoes much larger than any on Earth, and they have erupted huge amounts of lava onto their surfaces in the past. The Earth's Moon has no large volcanoes and no current volcanic activity, although recent evidence suggests it may still possess a partially molten core. However, the Moon does have many volcanic features such as maria (the darker patches seen on the moon), rilles and domes. The planet Venus has a surface that is 90% basalt, indicating that volcanism played a major role in shaping its surface. The planet may have had a major global resurfacing event about 500 million years ago, from what scientists can tell from the density of impact craters on the surface. Lava flows are widespread and forms of volcanism not present on Earth occur as well. Changes in the planet's atmosphere and observations of lightning have been attributed to ongoing volcanic eruptions, although there is no confirmation of whether or not Venus is still volcanically active. However, radar sounding by the Magellan probe revealed evidence for comparatively recent volcanic activity at Venus's highest volcano Maat Mons, in the form of ash flows near the summit and on the northern flank."

The age, distribution, and composition of the stars in a galaxy trace the history, dynamics, and evolution of that galaxy. Moreover, stars are responsible for the manufacture and distribution of heavy elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, and their characteristics are intimately tied to the characteristics of the planetary systems that may coalesce about them. Consequently, the study of the birth, life, and death of stars is central to the field of astronomy. Star Formation Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. A familiar example of such as a dust cloud is the Orion Nebula. Turbulence deep within these clouds gives rise to knots with sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse under its own gravitational attraction. As the cloud collapses, the material at the center begins to heat up. Known as a protostar, it is this hot core at the heart of the collapsing cloud that will one day become a star. Three-dimensional computer models of star formation predict that the spinning clouds of collapsing gas and dust may break up into two or three blobs; this would explain why the majority the stars in the Milky Way are paired or in groups of multiple stars."

The oxygen binds reversibly to the haemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxygen may also be dissolved and be transported in the solution form in blood plasma. Carbon dioxide is transported mainly as hydrogencarbonate ions. The process whereby carbon dioxide is converted into the bicarbonate ions occurs in the red blood cells. The reaction is reversible. Chemical reactions occurring in the red blood cells: COz + H2O → H2CO3 (carbonic acid) Note: The above reaction is catalyzed by enzyme carbonic anhydrase.

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

The consequences of alcohol metabolism include oxygen deficits (i.e., hypoxia) in the liver; interaction between alcohol metabolism byproducts and other cell components, resulting in the formation of harmful compounds (i.e., adducts); formation of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (i.e., reactive oxygen species [ROS]) that can damage other cell components; changes in the ratio of NADH to NAD + (i.e., the cell’s redox state); tissue damage; fetal damage; impairment of other metabolic processes; cancer; and medication interactions. Several issues related to alcohol metabolism require further research. K ey words: Ethanol-to-acetaldehyde metabolism; alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH); aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH); acetaldehyde; acetate; cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1); catalase; reactive oxygen species (ROS); blood alcohol concentration (BAC); liver; stomach; brain; fetal alcohol effects; genetics and heredity; ethnic group; hypoxia The effects of alcohol (i.e., ethanol) on various tissues depend on its concentration in the blood (blood alcohol concentration [BAC]) over time."

"text": "Alternative Title: haemoglobin Hemoglobin, also spelled haemoglobin, iron -containing protein in the blood of many animals—in the red blood cells (erythrocytes) of vertebrates —that transports oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin forms an unstable, reversible bond with oxygen; in the oxygenated state it is called oxyhemoglobin and is bright red; in the reduced state it is purplish blue. Hemoglobin is a protein made up of four polypeptide chains (α 1, α 2, β 1, and β 2 ). Each chain is attached to a heme group composed of porphyrin (an organic ringlike compound) attached to an iron atom. These iron-porphyrin complexes coordinate oxygen molecules reversibly, an ability directly related to the role of hemoglobin in oxygen transport in the blood. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Read More on This Topicblood: Hemoglobin About 95 percent of the dry weight of the red blood cell consists of hemoglobin, the substance necessary for oxygen transport. Hemoglobin is a protein; a molecule contains four polypeptide chains (a tetramer), each chain consisting of more than 140 amino acids. To each…READ MOREHemoglobin develops in cells in the bone marrow that become red blood cells. When red cells die, hemoglobin is broken up: iron is salvaged, transported to the bone marrow by proteins called transferrins, and used again in the production of new red blood cells; the remainder of the hemoglobin forms the basis of bilirubin, a chemical that is excreted into the bile and gives the feces their characteristic yellow-brown colour. Each hemoglobin molecule is made up of four heme groups surrounding a globin group, forming a tetrahedral structure."

However, do we really know what lactate threshold is? Furthermore, do we know what lactate is and its role in performance and metabolism? The fact is that there is still too much confusion regarding what lactate is as well as what lactate threshold represents. What is Lactate? Lactate is a great unknown in human metabolism despite its key role in regulating metabolism. For many years it has been thought that lactate was just a waste product as a result of anaerobic exercise or even a waste product of exercise that would crystalize resulting in muscle soreness. Nevertheless, lactate has been subject of study for many years and by important scientists including several Nobel Laureates. Lactate studies date back from the 19th century when a Nobel Laureate, Louis Pasteur in 1863 proposed that lactate was produced by lack of oxygen during muscle contraction. Another Nobel Laureate, Otto Meyerhof described in 1920 that glycogen was a precursor of lactate."

The amount is clearly lower at the surface, being approximately 0.1 ppb. River water concentrations vary strongly, but are approximately 0.25 ppm in general. Depending on water properties, various inorganic nitrogen compounds may be found. In aerobic waters nitrogen is mainly present as N 2 and NO 3 -, and depending on environmental conditions it may also occur as N 2 O, NH 3, NH 4 +, HNO 2, NO 2 - or HNO 3. Water in coastal areas mainly contains elementary nitrogen gas (N 2 ). This can be no surprise, as air consists of 78% nitrogen, and water comes in contact with air regularly in coastal regions because of low water depth and active currents. Ammonium, nitrate and nitrite play the most important role in biochemical processes, but some organic nitrogen compounds in water may also be of significance. Total nitrogen represents the sum of organic and inorganic nitrogen compounds. For wastewater Kjeldahl-nitrogen is generally applied as a measure."

The current article gives a brief account of the structure and function of this respiratory protein. Tagged Under: Hemoglobin Advertisement Did You Know? Each healthy human red blood cell (RBC) has about 250 million molecules of hemoglobin. They make up about 33% of the total volume of a mature RBC. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-binding protein found in all vertebrates (except fish, belonging to the family Channichthyidae) as well as certain invertebrates. However, hemoglobin-like molecules are found in several invertebrates, fungi, plants, as well as certain bacteria. In vertebrates, it is mainly responsible for the transportation of oxygen from lungs to the body tissues, as well as carbon dioxide from peripheral tissues to the lungs. This respiratory protein was first observed in the crystalline form by Friedrich Ludwig Hünefeld, in 1840. Since then, several researchers explored this protein, and even determined its entire amino acid sequence."

What are their functions? Main Circulatory System Organs Your circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels. It also includes about 5 liters of blood that your heart transports through your blood vessels.1. The Heart Located slightly to the left of the middle of your chest, the heart is made of strong muscle tissue and is protected by your rib cage. Even though it is no larger than the size of your fist, it plays a vitally important role in your body. It consists of four hollow chambers – two ventricles and two atria. All four chambers work quite like pumps and push blood throughout your body. The blood that moves towards the heart enters it through the atria and then goes out to your body through the ventricles. You can get direct and clear understanding about how heart works by watching the video below:2."

"text": "\"Oxygen and Oxygenation Many cancer patients have poor oxygenation of their blood. Low hemoglobin, clumped red blood cells (rouleau), infections, and toxicity can affect oxygenation, vitality, and health. The picture to the left vividly demonstrates how impossible it is for the red blood cells to circulate and transport oxygen. From a health perspective, this condition is an accident waiting to happen. Symptoms: The symptoms of poor oxygenation include pallor and fatigue, poor circulation to the extremities (cold hands and feet), and sometimes dizziness or mental fuzziness. The psychological symptoms are subtle: lack of fortitude, an easy sense of defeat, conviction that the effort needed to do something cannot be made, vulnerability, and perhaps even some disorientation. Cellular Respiration It is generally understood that cancer cells do not have normal cellular respiration. In simple terms, this means that they derive their energy from fermentation—break down of tissue—rather than oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, cells weaken or die, or they may mutate into something more primitive that can survive without oxygen. Initially, the tissues that are lacking sufficient oxygen may be cooler, but as the \"\" terrain \"\" becomes more compromised due to deficiency of the requisite oxygen and nutrients, the devitalized tissues may break down."

But when you do get your very own PCS, there are some things you can do in advance to not only make the move go smoother but save you money at the same time. Part 1: Prepping For Your PCSSince the military is moving you and your family, the PCS is almost free of charge. Almost. Yes, the military will cover your move but there are some costs you may encounter and it’s better to prepare for them in case they pop up on your financial radar.

This allowance is in addition to all other allowances and may be paid in advance. The amount varies by rank and family status. Normally you can receive DLA only one time per fiscal year. It is important to keep in mind that DLA is intended to partially reimburse relocation expenses not otherwise reimbursed and probably will not reimburse all of your relocation expenses. A member who has no dependents and who is assigned to government quarters (including a ship) at the new PCS location is not entitled to any DLA. National Guard and Reserve servicemembers coming on or leaving active duty are not eligible for DLA. The exception to this if you come on active duty for more than 20 weeks at one location and are authorized PCS allowances (not TDY allowances) and you move your dependents from your home to your new PDS or a designated place. You are also not authorized DLA on your separation or retirement from active duty service.

"text": "\"Important Facts About Per Diem Pay For Truck Drivers: Getting paid per diem usually means that your paycheck will be split into 2 parts: your regular pay which is taxable income and your per diem pay. Per diem pay for transportation workers is not technically 'untaxed income'. It's a non-taxable reimbursement for meals and other incidental expenses. This distinction can be important and we'll explain why in a minute. For income tax purposes, getting paid per diem will reduce a driver's gross income, thus reducing the amount of taxes they owe to the IRS. Receiving per diem pay means that a truck driver cannot take the \"\"standard meal deduction\"\" when filing their yearly income taxes. Most drivers will take home almost exactly the same amount in the end after taxes whether they get per diem pay or not. See Also: Per Diem Pay For Truck Drivers What Does Per Diem Pay Mean For Truck Drivers? Getting per diem pay means that a driver can immediately recoup some of the expenses they incurred for meals in each paycheck instead of deducting them at tax time and being reimbursed. Translated literally, per diem is Latin for \"\"per day\"\"."

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that occurs in people who have diabetes. It causes progressive damage to the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious sight-threatening complication of diabetes. Diabetes interferes with the body's ability to use and store sugar (glucose). The disease is characterized by too much sugar in the blood, which can cause damage throughout the body, including the eyes. Over time, diabetes damages the blood vessels in the retina."

"text": "Points to Remember Diabetic eye disease comprises a group of eye conditions that affect people with diabetes. These conditions include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), cataract, and glaucoma. All forms of diabetic eye disease have the potential to cause severe vision loss and blindness. Diabetic retinopathy involves changes to retinal blood vessels that can cause them to bleed or leak fluid, distorting vision. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among people with diabetes and a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. DME is a consequence of diabetic retinopathy that causes swelling in the area of the retina called the macula. Controlling diabetes—by taking medications as prescribed, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy diet—can prevent or delay vision loss. Because diabetic retinopathy often goes unnoticed until vision loss occurs, people with diabetes should get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. Early detection, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up care of diabetic eye disease can protect against vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy can be treated with several therapies, used alone or in combination."

Reductions in uptake could increase levels of unconjugated or conjugated bilirubin (Rotor syndrome). Defects in bilirubin conjugation could increase levels of unconjugated bilirubin; the effects can be benign and frequent (Gilbert syndrome) or rare but severe, increasing the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy (Crigler–Najjar syndrome). Impairment of bilirubin secretion leads to accumulation of conjugated bilirubin (Dubin–Johnson syndrome). We review the genetic causes and pathophysiology of disorders of bilirubin transport and conjugation as well as clinical and therapeutic aspects. We also discuss the possible mechanisms by which hyperbilirubinemia protects against cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome and the effects of specific genetic variants on drug metabolism and cancer development.

European mistletoe ( Viscum album ) and American mistletoe ( Phoradendron leucarpum ) are used as medical remedies. In addition to Europe and North America, mistletoe is also found in Australia and Korea. Mistletoe berries are poisonous to cats and other small animals. There is, however, some debate about how toxic the berries are to humans, and there is controversy about whether it is safe to use mistletoe as a remedy. Mistletoe is also known as mystyldene, all-heal, bird lime, golden bough, and devil's fuge. General use Mistletoe is known popularly as the plant sprig that people kiss beneath during the Christmas season.

K. Reviewer (s): Sillero-Zubiri, C. & Hoffmann, M. (Canid Red List Authority)Justification: Canis lupus dingo previously was listed as Lower Risk/least concern. Improved information since then has resulted in the taxon being reassessed as Vulnerable. Dingo's were formerly widespread throughout the world (Corbett 1995) and although populations of wild dogs remain abundant in Australia and other countries, the proportion of pure dingoes is declining through hybridization with domestic dogs. Estimating Dingo abundance is difficult because the external phenotypic characters of many hybrids are indistinguishable from pure Dingo's. For example, populations of 'wild dogs' in the southeastern highlands of Australia have been fairly abundant over the past 50 years. However, the proportion of pure Dingo's, as based on skull morphometrics, has declined from about 49% in the 1960s (Newsome and Corbett 1985) to about 17% in the 1980s (Jones 1990) and the pure form may now be locally extinct (Corbett 2001). Such quantitative data is not available for countries other than Australia, Thailand and Papua New Guinea so that the following qualitative estimates of abundance refer to pure Dingo and/or hybrid populations as based on general body form, pelage colour and breeding pattern.

Patients describe a wide variety of symptoms, usually worsened by bright lighting conditions. The vast majority of patients with eye floaters have a benign condition known as vitreous syneresis in which portions of the normally clear and transparent vitreous jelly inside the eye becomes less transparent. Rarely, eye floaters may be associated with significant ocular disease, including vitreous bleeding or hemorrhage, retinal detachment, severe ocular injury, or diabetic retinopathy. Only a qualified eye doctor can determine whether or not the symptom of eye floaters represents a serious ocular condition. Eye Diseases and Conditions Slideshow Pictures Pink Eye Slideshow Pictures Laser Eye Surgery Slideshow Eye Floaters: Benign Causes Readers Comment 1 Share Your Story There are two categories of eye floater causes or etiology: benign and pathological. The benign category is by far the most common, while the possibility of a pathologic cause must be evaluated by an eye-care professional, such as your ophthalmologist or optometrist. Benign etiology: The vitreous gel occupies the bulk of the interior of the eye, containing approximately 5 cc or milliliters of clear jelly. The vitreous gel performs no essential functions other than to occupy a space and to clearly transmit light from the cornea and lens in the front of the eye to the retina in the back of the eye. The gel itself is merely a vestige or non-functioning remnant of embryogenesis, or fetal development of the eye."

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that occurs in people who have diabetes. It causes progressive damage to the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious sight-threatening complication of diabetes. Diabetes interferes with the body's ability to use and store sugar (glucose). The disease is characterized by too much sugar in the blood, which can cause damage throughout the body, including the eyes. Over time, diabetes damages the blood vessels in the retina."

"text": "\"Orange peel contains D-limonene. You might never consider eating orange peels, but you do consume them as orange rinds in marmalade and as zest in baked goods. Orange peel is much bitterer than the flesh of the fruit, but it’s surprisingly high in some nutrients, especially citrus oils such as D-limonene. Eating lots of orange peel is likely to upset your stomach and lead to digestive problems, so moderation is the key. Nutritional Info Orange peel contains at least a little bit of all the major nutrients. For example, 100 grams of orange peel contain about 25 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of dietary fiber, 1.5 grams of protein and less than a gram of citrus oil. The same amount of orange peel also provides nearly 100 calories and is a good source of vitamin C, calcium, beta-carotene and many B-vitamins. Orange peel contains small amounts of several other minerals such as magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and selenium. Potential Benefits A significant proportion of the fiber content in orange peel is in the form of pectin, which is soluble fiber that helps clean out your intestines and control blood cholesterol levels. The insoluble portion helps prevent constipation by stimulating regular bowel movements."

"text": "\"Garlic may provide many health benefits. Every woman certainly knows the disadvantage of eating raw garlic -- bad breath -- but because there seems to be many health benefits linked to the little white cloves, they could offset the social stigma of their scent. Raw garlic has a very long history of medicinal use in addition to its widespread culinary use. However, cooking and processing garlic typically reduces its potency, so stick with fresh cloves to get the most benefit out of them. Brief History Garlic cloves have literally been used for thousands of years. Writings by ancient Greeks, such as early medical forefather Hippocrates, considered raw garlic cloves as a general cure-all and health tonic. Garlic was certainly cooked by ancient peoples, but when used medicinally as a blood cleaner, digestive aid and anti-inflammatory, it was thought best to eat it raw or consume its fresh-pressed oil. Modern analysis of garlic has revealed that its properties are in-line with how ancient peoples used the plant because it’s a good antioxidant and strong antimicrobial that destroys free radicals and many harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Probably the most potent compound in garlic is called allicin. Cardiovascular Benefits Due mainly to its ability to eliminate free radicals and reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol, raw garlic is beneficial for blood vessels and the heart."

Please Share!On this page: Lasers for diabetic retinopathy treatment • Preparing for laser treatment • Non-laser treatment of diabetic macular edema • Vitrectomy and other treatments • Steroid eye drops Millions of Americans each year face vision loss related to diabetes. In fact, according to recent data from the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 26 million Americans — roughly 8.3 percent of the U. S. population — have diabetes, and more than 28 percent of diabetics age 40 or older in the U. S. have diabetic retinopathy (DR) and related diabetic eye disease. To make matters worse, a significant number of cases of diabetes and diabetic eye disease go undetected or untreated because people fail to have routine comprehensive eye exams as recommended by their optometrist or ophthalmologist. Most laser and non-laser treatments for diabetic eye disease depend on the severity of the eye changes and type of vision problems you have. Diabetic retinopathy is diabetes-related damage to the light-sensitive retina in the back of the eye. As diabetes progresses, chronic high blood sugar levels cause changes that damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, which makes them leak fluid or hemorrhage (bleed). Eventually, this leads to vision problems that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses. If you have a diabetic vitreous hemorrhage, you may require a vitrectomy to remove the clear, gel-like substance in your eye's interior. [ Enlarge]The appearance of diabetic retinopathy is associated with the proliferation of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the retina."

Writing in something called The Washington Spectator, an organ of \"\"The Public Concern Foundation\"\" – whatever that is (considering the organization's stated website listed on this page won't open) – \"\"historian\"\" Rick Perlstein, called the POW/MIA flag a \"\"racist\"\" symbol \"\"useful only to venal right-wing politicians who wish to exploit hatred by calling it heritage.\"\" In his lengthy, sometimes rambling August 10 piece, Perlstein charges that the black-and-white flag, meant to honor U.

I. M.) Activist Advocates Cultural and Political Unification In 1968, young urban-based American Indians in Minnesota formed the American Indian Movement (AIM) to fight mistreatment by police and to improve prospects for jobs, education, and housing. In 1972, AIM initiated “The Trail of Broken Treaties,” and a subsequent march to Washington to present the Nixon administration with a 20-point sovereignty proposal. From its beginning, AIM suffered from disagreement between “traditionals” holding reservation-oriented agendas and urban-based “progressives”. By the end of the 1970s, plagued by repression and internal disputes, AIM declined as a leading militant organization. In the following document written in 1974, Jimmie Durham of AIM’s American Indian Support Committee, critically addressed attitudes of white progressives that had caused friction within the group. The paper, which Durham, a Cherokee Indian, has acknowledged was influenced by Marxist writers, was subsequently doctored by the FBI and submitted to Tribal Councils and the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security to discredit him. ( The version appearing below is excerpted from Durham’s published original and reprinted with his permission.) In 1974, Durham founded the International Indian Treaty Council to lobby the United Nations towards decolonization of indigenous peoples worldwide. The Treaty Council helped create the 1977 UN conference on indigenous affairs, attended by representatives of 98 indigenous peoples. Durham subsequently resigned from the Treaty Council and he has become an acclaimed artist and poet, writing on cultural and political subjects."

Holdout Holdouts were a group of Cherokees that belonged to several societies in the Cherokee Nation mostly made of Full-Bloods. The Nighthawks was one such society that was very vocal in the refusal to enroll and accept the Allotment from the Dawes Commission. The leader was a Cherokee named Redbird Smith who throughout his life worked to return to a more traditional society. He was a National Councilman and very vocal in his outspoken views regarding Allotment. But the Dawes Commission was relentless and he was arrested in 1902 and forced to enroll. His followers, some 5000 or so, continued for another year or so to reject enrollment, but they were enrolled without consent and finally allotted land and money.

"text": "Fri, Jul 3rd, 2015 by Rmuse Confederate Flag Designer Said It Is A Symbol Of White Supremacy – Not Southern Heritage98.5k SHARESFacebook Twitter Subscribe Google Pinterest Print Mail Flipboard Heritage is often defined as something inherited due to the place, time, or circumstances of someone’s birth. Heritage is not unlike culture which includes the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular group transmitted from one generation to another. Both terms, heritage and culture, have been thrown around a lot recently by Americans living in the former Confederacy to defend their sick twisted clinging to a flag symbolizing white supremacy and treason against the United States of America. Southerners are quick to claim that the Confederate flag, no matter which version, has nothing whatsoever to do with either white supremacy (racism) or treason. In their estimation they know is a lie, the Confederate flag (s) are just a symbol of Southern heritage and culture. However, that was never what the flag symbolized and there is no better reference to what the flag stands for than the words of the treasonous racist who designed it. The white supremacist who designed the Confederacy’s flag (s), one William T. Thompson, gave the definitive reason why every Republican, KKK member, and so-called Southern heritage advocate still supports flying that symbol of treason and racism. Thompson was proud to admit that “ As a people we are fighting to maintain the heavenly ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause. Such a flag would be a suitable emblem of our young confederacy, and sustained by the brave hearts and strong arms of the south, it would soon take rank among the proudest ensigns of the nations, and be hailed by the civilized world as THE WHITE MAN’S FLAG .”Many Americans of all races today refer to any of the Confederacy’s flags as “ the white supremacist’s flag ” and they would not have been wrong during the Civil War and they are certainly not wrong in the 21st Century. When the racist flag’s defenders claim it is just an innocent symbol of their Southern heritage and culture, they are defending the white supremacy they know the flag symbolized during the Civil War continuing to the present."

The network's current programming lineup includes three shows with African-American leads ( Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, and Black-ish ), as well as a comedy about a Hispanic family ( Cristela ), which adds a refreshing splash of color to a TV landscape that's mostly white. And as of this week, it's adding an Asian-American sitcom to its menu in Fresh Off the Boat, the first comedy about East Asian characters to air on network television since Margaret Cho's All-American Girl, which was canceled after one season in 1995. Based loosely on chef Eddie Huang's memoir of the same name, Fresh Off the Boat is set in the mid-1990s and follows 11-year-old Eddie and his Taiwanese family of five—including \"\"Tiger Mom\"\" Jessica and American Dreamer dad Louis—as they move from the more integrated Washington, D. C. metro area to the suburbs of Orlando so that Louis can open a western-themed restaurant. This is a big moment for both television and the Asian community, so naturally the series is being heavily scrutinized by critics and viewers. ( Huang's recent denouncement of the show, which he later softened, certainly drew plenty of attention prior to the series premiere.) Fresh Off the Boat set itself up for a bit of a fireball with its title, which, even though it's lifted straight from the book the show based upon, is considered by some to be a racial slur. But that's basically the point: Fresh Off the Boat wanted to get all the uncomfortable racial tension out on the table so it could concentrate on comedy, because it knew it was going to face cries of racism no matter what and was trying to beat critics to the punch. It should come as no surprise that the series' first two episodes contained a lot of racially based humor, from Jessica's harsh Asian accent to Eddie's Chinese food lunch to Jessica being disappointed that Eddie only got straight A's. That's to be expected from a network sitcom that counts race as a major element of its premise."

"text": "What is a Native American Pow Wow? Posted By Paul G July 24th, 2011Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians. There are several different stories of how the powwow was started. Some believe that the War dance Societies of the Ponca and other Southern Plains Tribes were the origin of the powwow. Another belief is that when the Native American tribes were forced onto reservations the government also forced them to have dances for the public to come and see. Before each dance they were lead through the town in a parade, which is the beginning of the Grand Entry. Powwow singers are very important figures in the Native American culture. Without them there would be no dancing. The songs are of many varieties, from religious to war to social."

"text": "\" (Darryl Moran / Flickr)Web Only / Features » July 7, 2015Before It Was a Symbol of Racist Backlash, the Confederate Flag Was a Symbol of Endless War Despite the fact that retailers and political figures are calling for its removal, history might be too prominent for the extinction of the Confederate flag. BY Greg Grandin Share Tweet Reddit Stumble Upon Email Print Starting around 1898, well before it became an icon of redneck backlash, the Confederate Battle Flag served for half a century as an important pennant in the expanding American empire and a symbol of national unification, not polarization. This post first appeared at Tom Dispatch. The Pentagon just can’t let go. In the wake of the Charleston Massacre, Amazon and Walmart have announced that they will no longer sell Confederate flag merchandise. Ebay says it will stop offering Confederate items for electronic auction. The Republican governor of Mississippi calls his state flag, which includes the Stars and Bars in the top left corner, “a point of offense that needs to be removed.” Even Kentucky’s Mitch Mc Connell, the majority leader of the U. S. Senate, agrees that a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in his state's capitol building belongs in a museum. Yet the Department of Defense says it isn’t even “ reviewing ” the possibility of a ban on the flag, deciding instead to leave any such move to the various service branches, while military bases named after Confederate officers will remain so. One factor in this decision: the South provides more than 40% of all military recruits, many of them white; only 15% are from the Northeast."

However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.\"\" -The US Code does not address the positioning of the flag patch. It is appropriate to wear an American flag patch on the left or right sleeve. When worn on the left sleeve, the union would appear towards the front and the stripes would run horizontally toward the back. When worn on the right sleeve, it is considered proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the observer’s right to suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. -"

Takato Marui, CC BY-SAEmail Twitter Facebook Linked In Print On Friday July 10, after a week of emotional debate between legislators, the Confederate flag came down on the South Carolina State House grounds. I may not be an expert on the Confederate flag or the Civil War, but I have studied what Japanese flags have meant and still mean to people in Japan and other Asian countries. In the eyes of many, both the so-called Rising Sun Flag (a red circle with sixteen sun rays) and Japan’s present national flag (a red circle in the center, called “Hinomaru”) are nothing but offensive, reminding them of Japan’s colonialism and wartime atrocities. Recent news reports on the Confederate flag debate have reminded me of similar controversies in Japan. The war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army was flown from 1870 to 1945."

Mr Puma · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Prisoner of War/Missing in Action You see a lot of these among veterans, especially those involved in the Vietnam war. Quite a few POW's, or Prisoners of War, were taken captive and held in internment camps and prisons. Some are still over there, belive it or not. The flags are flown because either the soldier was at one time a POW or because someone he knows, maybe a close friend, was a POW or is still Missing In Action, and whose body has not been found and returned to the United States and his family. Yangie J · 9 years ago0 0 Comment The POW-MIA flag is an outcropping of the Vietnam War. It might have been used prior to the vietnam war, but is popularity reached it's greatest height during the Vietnam years. Some people believe that the Vietnamese Government still holds American prisoners (mostly pilots) and that they also have information of Missing In Action Americans. And that government is holding that information. As for myself, I believe it & I own such a flag."

The six weeks of carnage would become known as the Rape of Nanking and represented the single worst atrocity during the World War II era in either the European or Pacific theaters of war. The actual military invasion of Nanking was preceded by a tough battle at Shanghai that began in the summer of 1937. Chinese forces there put up surprisingly stiff resistance against the Japanese Army which had expected an easy victory in China. The Japanese had even bragged they would conquer all of China in just three months. The stubborn resistance by the Chinese troops upset that timetable, with the battle dragging on through the summer into late fall. This infuriated the Japanese and whetted their appetite for the revenge that was to follow at Nanking. After finally defeating the Chinese at Shanghai in November, 50,000 Japanese soldiers then marched on toward Nanking. Unlike the troops at Shanghai, Chinese soldiers at Nanking were poorly led and loosely organized. Although they greatly outnumbered the Japanese and had plenty of ammunition, they withered under the ferocity of the Japanese attack, then engaged in a chaotic retreat."

"text": "\"AYFKMFeds: ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ Flags May Be Racist, Incur Fines August 5, 2016 By Bre Payton A federal agency is worried an iconic symbol of freedom dating back to the Revolutionary War might be racist. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which decides if something constitutes a “hostile work environment,” is looking into whether the ‘Don’t Tread on Me,’ or Gadsden, flag should be banned from both government and private workplaces, Eugene Volokh writes in The Washington Post. Two months ago, the EEOC decided to investigate the matter after an African-American government employee filed a complaint to the agency about his co-worker, who repeatedly wore a hat bearing the flag. The aggrieved employee said the hat was offensive because the flag on it was designed by Christopher Gadsden, a “slave trader & owner of slaves,” and that it’s a “historical indicator of white resentment against blacks stemming largely from the Tea Party. ”In its decision, the EEOC stated that while the flag’s origins in the Revolutionary War are not racist, it is sometimes associated with racially charged situations, and warranted further investigation to determine whether it’s offensive. As Volokh points out, the complainant does not say whether this hat-wearing co-worker ever acted or spoke out in a racially offensive way. Thus it seems wearing the hat with the Gadsden flag is the only provocative thing the co-worker in question ever did. If the EEOC decides the flag is harrassment, employers who allow their employees to wear the symbol could face significant legal consequences and fines. Instead of allowing employers to decide for themselves whether is offensive, the federal government would be unilaterally deeming displaying this flag as harassment, which places pressure on employers to create a politically correct safe space for their employees. The irony of this is just too much: the federal government is literally deciding whether a symbol of freedom that originated for the purpose of drawing attention to an oppressive government should be banned from the workplace, or else."

The species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar, and snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans. Tigers once ranged widely across Eurasia, from the Black Sea in the west, to the Indian Ocean in the south, and from Kolyma to Sumatra in the east. Over the past 100 years, they have lost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from Western and Central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and from large areas of Southeast, Southern, and Eastern Asia."

"text": "Lion Scientific Name: Panthera leo The lion is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. The cat’s closest relatives are the other species of the genus Panthera: the tiger, the jaguar, and the leopard. Panthera leo appears to have evolved in Africa between 1 million and 800,000 years ago, before spreading throughout the Northern Hemisphere. It is the second-largest wild cat after the tiger. Additional Lion Information Links: Lion Conservation Canned Lion Hunting African Lion Research Asiatic Lion Lion Pictures [Show slideshow]About the Lion Lion History Today, most of the world’s lion population lives in Africa, but 50,000 years ago they were prevalent in the Middle East, Southern and Central Europe and India not to mention north and east through Asia as far away as Siberia. Most likely the cats went north out of Africa into Europe and Asia eventually crossing the Bering land bridge into Alaska and down through North America to Mexico. They were an integral part of the planet’s ecosystems occupying more territory than any other mammal in history, second only to that of Man, himself, whose subsequent flourishing contributed to the loss of habitat and diminished range of the lion, right on up to the present day. The Cave Lion A molecular study of ancient fossils suggests the Panthera species could have begun as long ago as 2 to 3 million years but the clearest and most abundant fossilized evidence dates from Europe, Siberia and Alaska about 500,000 years ago where the enormous Cave Lion ( Panthera leo fossilis ), a quarter larger than today’s lions, held a range of territory of immense proportions. Since then it evolved into what is known as the true Cave Lion ( Panthera leo spelaea) which, during the last 60,000 years, became extinct, probably due to a combination of climate change and over-hunting by humans. The American Lion Panthera leo atrox (Photo Source: Wikipedia)The American Lion ( Panthera leo atrox) is also a descendant of P leo fossilis and continued the territorial expansion further south through Central America and as far as Peru, half way down the South American continent."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology Whats the differance between a jaguar and a panther? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There is no actual species called a panther, it's just the name commonly given to melanistic leopards - that is, leopards with an excess of the dark pigment melanin, resulting in an almost totally black coat (the markings will still show up against the background in certain lights). So the difference between a panther and a jaguar is that they're different species - a panther is a black individual of Panthera pardus, whilst a jaguar is Panthera onca. Note that some people also refer to melanistic jaguars as panthers, though this is not technically correct. In this case, the only difference is colour - the 'panther' being black and the 'jaguar' being tawny with black markings. They are still the same species, Panthera onca, though. ' Panther' is not to be confused with 'Florida panther'. This is the name often given to the subspecies of puma (Puma concolor) found in Florida. The puma has many names, including cougar, mountain lion, catamount, catamountain and others - it is just as accurate to call a Florida panther any of these. When referring to this animal, you should always specify FLORIDA panther, and not just say 'panther', to avoid confusion with a black leopard or jaguar."

Snow leopards act as an ambassador of the planet’s highest places and are considered sacred by the people who live there. As an apex predator, the presence of this big cat indicates a healthy ecosystem. Snow leopards are known for their striking beauty, with smoky-colored coats tinted with cream and yellow shades and patterned with black spots. The spots are called rosettes, and each cat has a pattern that is unique like a fingerprint. This cat is more medium in size when compared to other big cats. They stand to about 60cm at the shoulder and have a body length between 1.8-2.3m. Their tail can be 1m long! Females can weigh around 35-40kg, while males can weigh 99-45-55kg.

Tigers were once found in most parts of Asia and they were so widespread that each population living in different ecosystems became distinct subspecies with some characteristic differences from each other. In the world today there are 5 subspecies of tigers namely – Bengal, Siberian, Indo-Chinese, Malayan and Sumatran tiger. There is another subspecies, the South china tiger which is believed to be extinct with no recent reports of sighting. Bengal Tiger Here are the differences between a sumatran tiger and a bengal tiger,The Sumatran tiger ( Panthera tigris sumatrae) lives in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is estimated to have a population of less than 500. The Bengal tiger ( (Panthera tigris tigris) lives in India, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar with 1706 tigers found in India. An average Bengal tiger weighs around 220 kilograms (500 pounds) stands 36 inches high at the shoulder, measure 10 feet from the tip of their nose to end of their tail. Sumatran tigers are smaller. They weigh an average of 120 kilograms (264.5 pounds) measure about 8 feet from the end of their nose to the tip of their tail."

The tiger sub-species studied were the Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata), the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), the Indian – Bengal – tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) and the South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis). The Caspian tiger was found to differ by only one nucleotide of its mitochondrial DNA from the Siberian tiger: other tiger sub-species differ by at least two nucleotides. ** In 2004, the tigers of Peninsular Malaysia were recognized as a new subspecies, Panthera tigris jacksoni, when a genetic analysis found that they are distinct in mt DNA and micro-satellite sequences from tigers of northern Indochina, P. t. corbetti (Luo et al ., 2004). However, Mazak and Groves (2006) found no clear morphological differences (in cranial measurements or pelage characteristics) between tigers from Peninsular Malaysia and those elsewhere in Indochina, and argue for inclusion in P. t. corbetti. P. t. jacksoni is provisionally accepted here. The geographic division between P. t. jacksoni and P. t. corbetti is unclear as tiger populations in northern Malaysia are contiguous with those in southern Thailand (T. Lynam pers. comm. 2008)."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Social Sciences Sociology Definition of the Week: Sick Role Share Flipboard Email Printby Ashley Crossman Updated March 18, 2017The \"\"sick role\"\" is a theory in medical sociology that was developed by Talcott Parsons. His theory of the sick role was developed in association with psychoanalysis. The sick role is a concept that concerns the social aspects of becoming ill and the privileges and obligations that come with it. Essentially, Parsons argued, a sick individual is not a productive member of society and therefore this type of deviance needs to be policed by the medical profession. Parsons argued that the best way to understand illness sociologically is to view it as a form of deviance, which disturbs the social function of the society. The general idea is that the individual who has fallen ill is not only physically sick, but now adheres to the specifically patterned social role of being sick.cite \""

A script kiddie is a derogatory term used to refer to non-serious hackers who are believed to reject the ethical principals held by professional hackers, which include the pursuit of knowledge, respect for skills, and a motive of self education. Script kiddies shortcut most hacking methods in order to quickly gain their hacking skills. They don’t put much thought or time into gaining computer knowledge, but educate themselves in a fast manner in order to learn only the bare minimum. Script kiddies may use hacking programs written by other hackers because they often lack the skills to write their own. Script kiddies attempt to attack computer systems and networks, and vandalize websites. Although they are considered to be inexperienced and immature, script kiddies can inflict as much computer damage as professional hackers and can be subject to similar criminal charges as their older and more savvy counterparts. Techopedia explains Script Kiddie Script kiddies perform their malicious computer techniques simply for the thrill of it, and to brag to their peers about their computer prowess. Because script kiddies are professional hackers in the making, or merely because they lack technical skill, they often leave behind evidence of their work. If they foolishly decide to hack big companies’ computers, the tight computer security therein easily lead to their being caught."

Health Editor May 26, 2015SUNDAY, May 24, 2015 (Health Day News) -- Summer is fast approaching, along with its usual bonanza of bugs. Fortunately, most of those inevitable bites and stings aren't serious. But, experts from the American Academy of Dermatology advise going to the emergency room right away if you notice any of the following symptoms soon after a bug bite or sting: Difficulty breathing,The feeling that your throat is closing,Swelling of lips, tongue or face,Chest pain,A racing heartbeat for more than a few minutes,Dizziness or headache,Vomiting. Also beware of a red rash that looks like a donut or bullseye target after a tick bite, or a fever with a spreading red or black spotty rash. These can be signs of serious tick-related illness. \"\" Although most bug bites and stings do not turn into a severe or even fatal illness like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, it's important to pay attention to your symptoms,\"\" Dr. Margaret Parsons, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, Davis, said in an academy news release. Parsons added that if you feel tired all the time, have a headache, fever or body aches, or you develop a rash after a bug bite, see your doctor. However, home care is fine for most bites and stings, according to Parsons."

"text": "\"The word adolescence came to indicate an age group in the twentieth century, and many theories have been developed on the subject. In the past, primitive societies had initiation rites to mark the abrupt transition from child-hood to adulthood, and the initiated would gradually take their place in adult society, but this social rite has now weakened. In today's society, adolescence marks the transition from a childhood stage that has not yet finished to a mature adult stage that has not yet been acquired, from \"\"pre-sociality\"\" to \"\"socialization. \"\" The term adolescence was innovated into the social scientific literature by G. Stanley Hall in 1904. In general, the term indicates this period of development in the life of the individual between childhood and adulthood. It is a phase that goes from age 13 to age 19—the \"\"teens\"\"—and is characterized by a series of physiological, psychological, and social transformations. In this period, the social personality is not yet formed, and teenagers are often regarded as searching for themselves as they move toward their adult identity. ( The word teenager was coined in 1939. ) A discussion of adolescence can be approached in many different ways and, similarly, there are numerous methods of interpreting it. In general, it is the product of attempts to adapt to the new conditions in which teenagers find themselves."

In the arrangement, every part has a fixed place and definite role to play. The parts are bound by interaction. To understand the functioning of a system, for example the human body, one has to analyse and identify the sub-systems (e.g. circulatory, nervous, digestive, excretionary systems etc.) and understand how these various subsystems enter into specific relations in the fulfillment of the organic function of the body. Image Courtesy : typophile.com/files/Sociology.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: Likewise, society may be viewed as a system of interrelated mutually dependent parts which cooperate to preserve a recognisable whole and to satisfy some purposes or goal.

Phytophthora on annual Vinca or Periwinkle The stems of an infected plant with Phytophthora simply shrivel away. Annual Vinca foliage with Phytopthera wilts as if the plant needs watering. Answer: As can be seen from these images, the stem turns black and the plant above the lesion will gradually die. When you see this symptom on a plant you should remove it from the bed and discard it in the garbage. You should not plant the Annual Vinca/Periwinkle until the weather gets hot (late May - June); you should mulch around the plants to help prevent the soil particles where the disease is residing from splashing up onto the plants; and you should water the soil and never the plants. From: http://www.plantanswers.com/Phytophthora.htm Annual Vinca (periwinkle): If full sun conditions prevail, periwinkle can be used. It will also perform well in partial shade. Annual Vinca (periwinkle) should not be confused with the perennial groundcover of the same name. Flowers of pink, white or violet are often highlighted with a contrasting red eye."

[ 1] This approach looks at society through a macro-level orientation, which is a broad focus on the social structures that shape society as a whole, [2] and believes that society has evolved like organisms. [ 3] This approach looks at both social structure and social functions. Functionalism addresses society as a whole in terms of the function of its constituent elements; namely norms, customs, traditions, and institutions. A common analogy, popularized by Herbert Spencer, presents these parts of society as \"\"organs\"\" that work toward the proper functioning of the \"\"body\"\" as a whole. [ 4] In the most basic terms, it simply emphasizes \"\"the effort to impute, as rigorously as possible, to each feature, custom, or practice, its effect on the functioning of a supposedly stable, cohesive system\"\". For Talcott Parsons, \"\"structural-functionalism\"\" came to describe a particular stage in the methodological development of social science, rather than a specific school of thought.

Biology has been taken to provide a guide to conceptualizing the structure and the function of social systems and to analyzing processes of evolution via mechanisms of adaptation ... functionalism strongly emphasises the pre-eminence of the social world over its individual parts (i.e. its constituent actors, human subjects).— Anthony Giddens, The Constitution of Society 1984 [7]Émile Durkheim While one may regard functionalism as a logical extension of the organic analogies for societies presented by political philosophers such as Rousseau, sociology draws firmer attention to those institutions unique to industrialized capitalist society (or modernity )."

"text": "\"XIt's called the \"\"Mad Men\"\" effect: the rediscovery of classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and the gin martini. But those cocktails had one key ingredient that's not as well known today called bitters — alcoholic ingredients flavoured with herbal essences that are added to cocktails in very small quantities (think drops). Bitters like the yellow-capped Angostura are still recognizable today, and can often be found in supermarkets. But there are now a variety of longstanding classic brands, reinvented makers who'd gone quiet after Prohibition, and upstarts who are putting a new twist on an old ingredient. Author Brad Thomas Parsons has long been a food and cocktail enthusiast, so it's natural that his curiosity was piqued when he started noticing homemade bitters and bottles he didn't recognize behind the bar beside the expected Angostura and Peychaud's. After some investigation, he became fascinated and published a book about the topic a few years ago. The popularity of bitters has only increased since. \"\" It seems trendy, it seems in the moment,\"\" Parsons says. \"\" but it's an essential part of a well crafted cocktail, from the history of it to what's in the glass. \"\" Story continues after slideshow:10 Things You Should Know About Bitters Before Prohibition, bitters were an essential ingredient for any cocktail — key to the name itself, actually."

This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with subdivisions of a processing unit consisting of an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter, a memory to store both data and instructions, external mass storage, and input and output mechanisms. [ 2] The meaning of the term has evolved to mean a stored-program computer in which an instruction fetch and a data operation cannot occur at the same time because they share a common bus. This is referred to as the Von Neumann bottleneck and often limits the performance of the system. [ 3]Sales [ edit]For the third consecutive year, U. S. business-to-business channel sales (sales through distributors and commercial resellers) increased, ending 2013 up nearly 6 percent at $61.7 billion. The impressive growth was the fastest sales increase since the end of the recession."

Answer by Muhammadasad Confidence votes 37A MAC address is a 48 bit address. It consists of 6 pairs where each pair has two hexadecimal digits. Since, one hexadecimal digit takes 4 bits, so each pair will occupy 8 bits. Hence, 6 pairs will occupy 48 bits. The MAC consists of 2 parts. The first part called Manufacturer ID consists of the first 3 pairs while the second part called Device ID consists of the last 3 pairs.

The computer mouse is an accessory to the personal computer that has become an essential part of operation of the computer. The small device fits neatly in the curve of the user's hand and enables the user, through very limited movements of the hand and fingers to \"\"point and click\"\" instructions to the computer. A rolling ball on the underside of the mouse gives directions on where to move to the cursor (pointer) on the monitor or screen, and one to three buttons (depending on design) allow the user to say yes by clicking the buttons on the right instruction for the computer's next operation. History Dr. Douglas Engelbart, a professor with the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California, developed the first device that came to be known as the mouse in 1964. At that time, the arrow keys on the keyboard were the only way of moving the cursor around on a computer screen, and the keys were inefficient and awkward. Dr. Engelbart made a small, brick-like mechanism with one button on top and two wheels on the underside. The two wheels detected horizontal and vertical movement, and the unit was somewhat difficult to maneuver. The unit was linked to the computer by a cable so the motion signals could be electrically transmitted to the computer for viewing on the monitor. One of Dr. Engelbart's co-workers thought the device with its long cable tail looked something like a mouse, and the name stuck."

"text": "\"Computer-aided design (CAD) involves creating computer models defined by geometrical parameters. These models typically appear on a computer monitor as a three-dimensional representation of a part or a system of parts, which can be readily altered by changing relevant parameters. CAD systems enable designers to view objects under a wide variety of representations and to test these objects by simulating real-world conditions. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) uses geometrical design data to control automated machinery. CAM systems are associated with computer numerical control (CNC) or direct numerical control (DNC) systems. These systems differ from older forms of numerical control (NC) in that geometrical data are encoded mechanically. Since both CAD and CAM use computer-based methods for encoding geometrical data, it is possible for the processes of design and manufacture to be highly integrated. Computer-aided design and manufacturing systems are commonly referred to as CAD/CAM. THE ORIGINS OF CAD/CAMCAD had its origins in three separate sources, which also serve to highlight the basic operations that CAD systems provide.

Introduction In the previous article of these series we saw how to use MDT 2010 to deploy Windows 7 to a reference computer and then capture an image of this reference computer so you can deploy it to multiple target computers. The steps involved were as follows: Like what you're reading? Get the latest updates and tech guides in your inbox. Step 1: Install the reference computer and capture its Image Step 2: Import the captured Image Step 3: Deploying the captured image to target computers All three steps can be performed using MDT 2010 alone, that is, without needing Windows Deployment Services or System Center Configuration Manager. This procedure lets you build and deploy a customized Windows 7 image using Lite Touch Installation (LTI) for small- and mid-sized deployments. But there is another way you can use MDT 2010 to build, capture and deploy customized Windows 7 images and that is to capture an existing installation of Windows 7 that you have manually customized. The steps for doing this are as follows: Step 1: Install the reference computer and manually customize it Step 2: Capture an image of the reference computer Step 3: Import the captured Image Step 4: Deploying the captured image to target computers Note the difference: In the first approach, which is outlined in article 10 of this series, you customize your reference computer using MDT alone. This means you use MDT to deploy the operating system, applications, drivers, and software updates."

"text": "What Is Considered Middle Class in America? – Definition, Income Range & Jobs By Amy Livingston Posted in: Economy & Policy, Family & Home, Lifestyle Share 17 Tweet 18 Pin Comments 2The news is full of stories about how tough times are for the middle class. Story after story talks about how jobs are disappearing, prices are rising, and many essentials, such as healthcare and education, are growing steadily more expensive and harder to afford. Politicians fall over each other to offer solutions, promising everything from tax reform to better schools to “save the middle class. ”However, what politicians aren’t always so clear about is just who is in the middle class they’re so eager to save. They talk in general terms about “ordinary Americans” or “working families,” but they seldom offer a clear-cut definition of what these groups look like. And when they do try – for example, when presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised during the 2015 Democratic debates that she wouldn’t raise taxes on households with incomes below $250,000 – their views are often attacked as unrealistic. Actually, it’s hardly surprising that politicians have difficultly figuring out how to define the middle class. Social class in America is an incredibly complex subject – so complex that reporters from the The New York Times devoted more than a year to exploring it without coming to any firm conclusions. The closest the paper could come to a definition was to say that social class involves “a combination of income, education, wealth and occupation” – and every one of these factors plays a role in defining who the middle class is and what it needs."

"text": "U. S. Survey Research Questionnaire design Perhaps the most important part of the survey process is the creation of questions that accurately measure the opinions, experiences and behaviors of the public. Accurate random sampling and high response rates will be wasted if the information gathered is built on a shaky foundation of ambiguous or biased questions. Creating good measures involves both writing good questions and organizing them to form the questionnaire. Questionnaire design is a multistage process that requires attention to many details at once. Designing the questionnaire is complicated because surveys can ask about topics in varying degrees of detail, questions can be asked in different ways, and questions asked earlier in a survey may influence how people respond to later questions. Researchers also are often interested in measuring change over time and therefore must be attentive to how opinions or behaviors have been measured in prior surveys. Surveyors may conduct pilot tests or focus groups in the early stages of questionnaire development in order to better understand how people think about an issue or comprehend a question. Pretesting a survey is an essential step in the questionnaire design process to evaluate how people respond to the overall questionnaire and specific questions. For many years, surveyors approached questionnaire design as an art, but substantial research over the past thirty years has demonstrated that there is a lot of science involved in crafting a good survey questionnaire. Here, we discuss the pitfalls and best practices of designing questionnaires."

Overview Among the 50.7 million Hispanics in the United States, nearly two-thirds (65%), or 33 million, self-identify as being of Mexican origin, according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. No other Hispanic subgroup rivals the size of the Mexican-origin population. Puerto Ricans, the nation’s second largest Hispanic origin group, make up just 9% of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. 1Overall, the 10 largest Hispanic origin groups—Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, Guatemalans, Colombians, Hondurans, Ecuadorians and Peruvians—make up 92% of the U. S. Hispanic population. 2 Six Hispanic origin groups have populations greater than 1 million. Hispanic origin groups differ from each other in a number of ways. For instance, U. S. Hispanics of Mexican origin have the lowest median age, at 25 years, while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest median age, at 40 years. Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32%) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7%). Ecuadorians have the highest annual median household income ($50,000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34,000). Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance—the highest share among Hispanic origin groups."

"text": "© Getty Images This brief focuses on the most recent comprehensive data from all 50 states and does not reflect the impact of weaker investment performance in fiscal 2015. Overview The nation’s state-run retirement systems had a $934 billion gap in fiscal year 2014 between the pension benefits that governments have promised their workers and the funding available to meet those obligations. That represents a $35 billion decrease from the shortfall reported for fiscal 2013. The reduction in pension debt was driven primarily by strong investment results, with public plans in fiscal 2014 averaging a 17 percent rateof return. 1This brief focuses on the most recent comprehensive data from all 50 states and does not reflect the impact of weaker investment performance in fiscal 2015, which averaged 3 percent. Performance has been even weaker in the first three quarters of fiscal 2016. Preliminary data from fiscal 2015 point to increases in unfunded liabilities for the majority of states. Total pension debt is expected to be over $1 trillion for state plans, an increase of more than 10 percent from fiscal 2014. When combined with the shortfalls in local pension systems, this estimate reaches more than $1.5 trillion for fiscal 2015 and will likely remain close to historically high levels as a percentage of U. S. gross domestic product (GDP). The lesson here is that state and local policymakers cannot count solely on investment returns to close the pension funding gap over the long term; they also need to follow funding policies that put them on track to pay down pension debt."

Our original 2012 report contained survey and Census data on all Asian Americans as well as specific information on the six largest Asian origin groups. Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success, according to a comprehensive new nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center. A century ago, most Asian Americans were low-skilled, low-wage laborers crowded into ethnic enclaves and targets of official discrimination. Today they are the most likely of any major racial or ethnic group in America to live in mixed neighborhoods and to marry across racial lines. When newly minted medical school graduate Priscilla Chan married Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg last month, she joined the 37% of all recent Asian-American brides who wed a non-Asian groom. 1These milestones of economic success and social assimilation have come to a group that is still majority immigrant. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of Asian-American adults were born abroad; of these, about half say they speak English very well and half say they don’t. Asians recently passed Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants to the United States."

S.-born children of immigrants—are substantially better off than immigrants themselves on key measures of socioeconomic attainment, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U. S. Census Bureau data. They have higher incomes; more are college graduates and homeowners; and fewer live in poverty. In all of these measures, their characteristics resemble those of the full U. S. adult population. Hispanics and Asian Americans make up about seven-in-ten of today’s adult immigrants and about half of today’s adult second generation. Pew Research surveys find that the second generations of both groups are much more likely than the immigrants to speak English; to have friends and spouses outside their ethnic or racial group, to say their group gets along well with others, and to think of themselves as a “typical American. ”The Pew Research surveys also find that second-generation Hispanics and Asian Americans place more importance than does the general public on hard work and career success. They are more inclined to call themselves liberal and less likely to identify as Republicans. And for the most part they are more likely to say their standard of living is higher than that of their parents at the same stage of life. In all of these measures, the second generation resembles the immigrant generation more closely than the general public. As the U. S. Congress gears up to consider immigration legislation, this new Pew Research report on second-generation Americans looks at the attitudes, values, life priorities, economic experiences, intergroup relations and identity markers of a group that will have a significant impact on the nation’s economy and politics for decades to come."

S. workforce, and many of them (but not all) will spend the Labor Day national holiday away from their desks, cash registers and workbenches. We can’t predict how workers will use their day off, but we do know a fair amount about who they are, what they do and the U. S. working environment in general.1 Over the past three decades, the share of American workers who are union membershas fallen by about half. Union membership peaked in 1954 at nearly 35% of all U. S. wage and salary workers, but in 2015 the unionization rate was just 11.1%. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the actual number of union members has risen in recent years, from 14.4 million in 2012 to 14.8 million last year. The biggest decline in union representation from 2000 to 2015 was in construction and extraction occupations, from 23.8% to 17.2%. Unionization actually has risen, albeit slightly and from low bases, in a few occupational groups: In legal occupations, for instance, the unionization rate rose from 5.1% in 2000 to 5.6% last year.2 There is broad support for the right of workers to unionize across a range of occupations. Among six industry categories we asked about in spring 2015, about eight in-ten Americans (82%) said manufacturing and factory workers should have that right. Big majorities backed the rights of transit workers, police officers and public school teachers to do the same. About six-in-ten (62%) said fast-food workers should be able to unionize, while 35% opposed that. In general, though, Americans have mixed views about the long-term decline in unionization: About as many people said it’s been mostly bad for the country as said it’s been mostly good, though by 52% to 40% they said it’s been mostly bad for working people.3 Most Americans work in the service sector."

America is now the world's leader in incarceration1 The number of US prisoners exploded after the 1970s Starting in the 1970s, America's incarcerated population began to rise rapidly. In response to a tide of higher crime over the preceding decade, state and federal lawmakers passed measures that increased the length of prison sentences for all sorts of crimes, from drugs to murder. But around the mid-1990s, the crime rate began to drop as the number of incarcerated Americans continued to climb.

"text": "POLITICS 05/15/2012 02:08 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017Poll Response Rates Fall ‘Dramatically,’ Pew Research Finds By Mark Blumenthal WASHINGTON — How low can they go? A new study from the Pew Research Center released on Tuesday finds that poll response rates continue to fall “dramatically,” reaching levels once considered unimaginable. Yet the study also finds evidence that on most of the wide variety of measures tested, the declining response rates alone are not causing surveys to yield inaccurate results. In just 15 years, according to the report, typical response rates obtained by the Pew Research Center have fallen from 36 percent in 1997 to 15 percent three years ago to just 9 percent so far in 2012. The most recent decline results partly from the inclusion of cellphone numbers in its samples in order to reach the rapidly growing number of American adults who have a mobile phone but lack landline telephone service. But the Pew Research landline response rates have also fallen (from 25 percent in 2007 to 10 percent this year) and are now only slightly higher than the response rates currently achieved with cellphones (7 percent). The report released today is based on the third iteration of a study, first conducted in 1997, that involves two parallel surveys: One uses the standard, five-day field period and methodology used by the Pew Research Center, and the second makes a much greater effort to obtain the highest possible response rate. The object is to see whether the lower response rates make a difference, or at least whether a far more rigorous survey would obtain different results. The challenges that face modern polling are perhaps most evident in the effort expended and results achieved by this year’s “high effort” survey. Interviewers called households up to 25 times for landline phones and up to 15 times for cellphones over a period of two and half months, if necessary, in an attempt to make contact."

"text": "May 8, 2013Six take-aways from the Census Bureau’s voting report By Paul Taylor and Mark Hugo Lopez Today’s report from the Census Bureau on the diversifying American electorate in 2012 confirms an historic turnout milestone first noted last December by the Pew Research Center, but undercuts a number of other widely-reported demographic analyses of last year’s presidential vote. Here are the six most important take-aways from Census Bureau data:1. For the first time ever, the black voter turnout ratein a presidential election exceeded the white voter turnout rate—66.2% versus 64.1%. While the presence of Barack Obama on the ballot in 2008 and 2012 no doubt contributed to the narrowing and reversal of what had been a longstanding black-white turnout gap, the rise in the black turnout rate pre-dates his candidacies, as the chart to the right illustrates.2. Hispanics continue to punch below their weight. Much was made right after the November election about the clout of the Hispanic vote (by, among others, the Pew Research Center ). But the new Census Bureau data show that Hispanics’ turnout rate—just 48%—was far below that of whites (64.1%) or blacks (66.2%). It also fell nearly two percentage points below the Hispanic turnout rate in 2008, which was 49.9%. Because of population growth, the number of Latinos who voted for president increased by about 1.4 million from 2008 to 2012, to a record 11.2 million, but the number of Latinos who were eligible but chose not to vote increased even more—by 2.3 million—from 9.8 million in 2008 to 12.1 million in 2012.3. Youth voter turnout rates also declinedfrom 2008 to 2012, contrary to initial reports based on the national Election Day exit polls, which had shown the youth voter turnout rate holding steady."

"text": "Overview Three-quarters of AP and NWP teachers say that the internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive” impact on their students’ research habits, but 87% say these technologies are creating an “easily distracted generation with short attention spans” and 64% say today’s digital technologies “do more to distract students than to help them academically. ”These complex and at times contradictory judgments emerge from 1) an online survey of more than 2,000 middle and high school teachers drawn from the Advanced Placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) communities; and 2) a series of online and offline focus groups with middle and high school teachers and some of their students. The study was designed to explore teachers’ views of the ways today’s digital environment is shaping the research and writing habits of middle and high school students. Building on the Pew Internet Project’s prior work about how people use the internet and, especially, the information-saturated digital lives of teens, this research looks at teachers’ experiences and observations about how the rise of digital material affects the research skills of today’s students. Overall, teachers who participated in this study characterize the impact of today’s digital environment on their students’ research habits and skills as mostly positive, yet multi-faceted and not without drawbacks. Among the more positive impacts they see: the best students access a greater depth and breadth of information on topics that interest them; students can take advantage of the availability of educational material in engaging multimedia formats; and many become more self-reliant researchers. At the same time, these teachers juxtapose these benefits against some emerging concerns. Specifically, some teachers worry about students’ overdependence on search engines; the difficulty many students have judging the quality of online information; the general level of literacy of today’s students; increasing distractions pulling at students and poor time management skills; students’ potentially diminished critical thinking capacity; and the ease with which today’s students can borrow from the work of others. These teachers report that students rely mainly on search engines to conduct research, in lieu of other resources such as online databases, the news sites of respected news organizations, printed books, or reference librarians. Overall, the vast majority of these teachers say a top priority in today’s classrooms should be teaching students how to “judge the quality of online information.”"

"text": "September 24, 2014Record Share of Americans Have Never Married As Values, Economics and Gender Patterns Change By Wendy Wang and Kim Parker After decades of declining marriage rates and changes in family structure, the share of American adults who have never been married is at an historic high. In 2012, one-in-five adults ages 25 and older (about 42 million people) had never been married, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of census data. In 1960, only about one-in-ten adults (9%) in that age range had never been married. 1Men are more likely than women to have never been married (23% vs. 17% in 2012). And this gender gap has widened since 1960, when 10% of men ages 25 and older and 8% of women of the same age had never married. The dramatic rise in the share of never-married adults and the emerging gender gap are related to a variety of factors. Adults are marrying later in life, and the shares of adults cohabiting and raising children outside of marriage have increased significantly. The median age at first marriage is now 27 for women and 29 for men, up from 20 for women and 23 for men in 1960. 2 About a quarter (24%) of never-married young adults ages 25 to 34 are living with a partner, according to Pew Research analysis of Current Population Survey data. 3In addition, shifting public attitudes, hard economic times and changing demographic patterns may all be contributing to the rising share of never-married adults."

"text": "\"navigation search The current atheist population mostly resides in East Asia (particularly China) and in secular Europe/Australia primarily among whites. [ 1] See: Global atheism and Western atheism and race Razib Khan points out in Discover Magazine, \"\"most secular nations in the world are those of East Asia, in particular what are often termed “ Confucian societies.” It is likely therefore that the majority of the world’s atheists are actually East Asian.\"\" [ 2] See: Asian atheism According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, 2% of the world's population self-identifies as atheist and the average annual global change for atheism from 2000 to 2010 was −0.17%. [ 3] See: Global atheism statistics In respect to the atheist population of the world, there have been many studies in regards to the atheist demographics and in regards to the percentage of atheists in various geographic areas. Concerning the atheist population as a percentage of various countries' populations, specific research on atheists conducted in 2006 suggests that the true proportion of atheists is 4% in the United States, 17% in Great Britain and 32% in France. However, how one defines atheist can skew the results of polls (see: Definition of atheism ). For example, in 2008, the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) reported 1.6% of Americans self-identified themselves as atheists. [ 4] In 2007, Pew Forum estimated that 1.6% of Americans are atheists. [ 5]In Sweden, 45% of the population indicates that they believe in some sort of ultimate force or great spirit. ["

"text": "October 16, 2014Latino Voters and the 2014 Midterm Elections Geography, Close Races and Views of Social Issues By Mark Hugo Lopez, Jens Manuel Krogstad, Eileen Patten and Ana Gonzalez-Barrera A record 25.2 million Latinos are eligible to vote in the 2014 midterm elections, making up, for the first time, 11% of all eligible voters nationwide. But despite a growing national presence, in many states with close Senate and gubernatorial races this year, Latinos make up a smaller share of eligible voters, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center. 1Since 2010, the number of Hispanic eligible voters has increased by 3.9 million. Their share among eligible voters nationally is also on the rise, up from 10.1% in 2010 and 8.6% in 2006 ( Lopez, 2011 ), reflecting the relatively faster growth of the Hispanic electorate compared with other groups. Yet in the eight states with close Senate races, 2 just 4.7% of eligible voters on average are Latinos. Among those states, Latinos make up less than 5% of eligible voters in six. Only in Colorado does the 14.2% Latino share among eligible voters exceed the 10.7% national average. Kansas is the only other state where the Latino share among eligible voters exceeds 5%. 3 As a result, the impact of Latino voters in determining which party controls the U. S. Senate may not be as large as might be expected given their growing electoral and demographic presence nationwide. In other 2014 Senate races—none of which are competitive—Latinos make up more than 10% of eligible voters in just three: New Mexico, where Latinos make up 40.1% of eligible voters; Texas, where 27.4% of eligible voters are Latino; and New Jersey, where Latinos make up 12.8% of eligible voters."

"text": "January 29, 2013A Nation of Immigrants A Portrait of the 40 Million, Including 11 Million Unauthorized Overview The nation’s total immigrant population reached a record 40.4 million in 2011, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. Over the last decade, the number of immigrants in the U. S. has steadily grown. Since 2007 alone, the number of immigrants living in the U. S. increased by 2.4 million. The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U. S. also grew during the last decade, rising from 8.4 million in 2000 to 11.1 million in 2011. However, this population peaked at 12 million in 2007, then fell to 11.1 million in 2009. It has remained at that level through 2011, the last year for which an estimate is available ( Passel and Cohn, 2012 ). The United States is the world’s leader by far as a destination for immigrants. The country with the next largest number is Russia with 12.3 million. The U. S. total of 40.4 million, which includes legal as well as unauthorized immigrants, represents 13% of the total U. S. population in 2011. While the foreign-born population size is a record, immigrants’ share of the total population is below the U. S. peak of just under 15% during a previous immigration wave from 1890 to 1920 that was dominated by arrivals from Europe."

June 2015 didn't just catch us up to normal temperatures in the Phoenix metro area though, it overcompensated with the third hottest month in recorded history. In early July, Phoenix will likely earn a reprieve from temperatures over 110 degrees, but it's those 110-plus June days that led to the record swelter. In June 2015, the temperature surpassed 110 degrees on 11 days. Temperatures hit the 110 mark just 10 times in all of 2014, according to numbers from the National Weather Service in Phoenix. RELATED: 80 mph winds blasted Phoenix neighborhood The first part of June wasn't exceptionally hot, but late June brought the triple-digit-heat permanently: the Phoenix area has topped the century mark every day since June 10, when the high was a brisk 95 degrees. As of June 29, the average low temperature was 82 degrees, which will be the hottest average low temperature in June in recorded history. Joel Zavala, 11, of Phoenix battles the 110-degree heat by cooling off in a play fountain at the Splash Playground at Tempe Beach Park on Monday, June 15, 2015. ( Photo: Rob Schumacher/The Republic)Not surprisingly, the mid-month heat spike coincided with a number of large wildfires breaking out in Arizona after a slow start to the fire season."

INTRODUCTIONA wide variety of organisms inhabit the marine environment. These organisms range in size from microscopic bacteria and algae to the largest organisms alive today—blue whales, which are as long as three buses lined up end to end. Marine biologists have identified over 250,000 marine species. This number is constantly increasing as new organisms are discovered. Most marine organisms live within the sunlit surface waters. Strong sunlight supports photosynthesis by marine algae. Algae either directly or indirectly provide food for the majority of organisms. All marine algae live near the surface because they need sunlight to survive. Most marine animals also live near the surface because this is where they can find food."

"text": "Spatially, the marine environment is divided into the pelagic division and benthic division . Being pelagic means to be in the water, surrounded by water at any depth. The pelagic division above the continental shelf is distinguished as the neritic province from the pelagic area above the open ocean (abyssal plain, oceanic ridges/rises, and trenches) which is call the oceanic province. Pelagic organisms that can swim relatively well are called nektonic pelagic (or just nektonic) whereas those that cannot swim, or are feeble swimmers, are called planktonic pelagic (or just planktonic). Being benthic means to be on the bottom or on a solid surface. Most benthic habitats are associated with the bottom of the ocean and are distinguished by depth as follows: inner shelf (closest to the continent), outer shelf (along the outer edge of the continental shelf next to the continental slope), bathyal zone (on the continental slope averaging between 200 to 3-6,000 meters), abyssal zone (on the abyssal plain, the relatively flat deep-sea area that may be 3-6,000 meters deep), and hadal zone (on the bottom of the trenches - below 6,000 m to 11,000+ meters). Benthic is also used to describe organisms that live on other organisms, like the barnacles that live on some species of whales. The whales are pelagic but their barnacles are benthic. Some species of marine life can be both pelagic and benthic at the same time. An example of this is the many flatfish (like halibut, sole, and flounder)."

"text": "\"Aquatic and Marine Biomes Like terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes are influenced by abiotic factors. In the case of aquatic biomes the abiotic factors include light, temperature, flow regime, and dissolved solids. The aquatic medium—water— has different physical and chemical properties than air. Even if the water in a pond or other body of water is perfectly clear (there are no suspended particles), water, on its own, absorbs light. As one descends deep enough into a body of water, eventually there will be a depth at which the sunlight cannot reach. While there are some abiotic and biotic factors in a terrestrial ecosystem that shade light (like fog, dust, or insect swarms), these are not usually permanent features of the environment. The importance of light in aquatic biomes is central to the communities of organisms found in both freshwater and marine ecosystems because it controls productivity through photosynthesis. In addition to light, solar radiation warms bodies of water and many exhibit distinct layers of water at differing temperatures. The water temperature affects the organisms’ rates of growth and the amount of dissolved oxygen available for respiration. The movement of water is also important in many aquatic biomes."

It extends from the Atmosphere-ocean interface downward to a depth where the light intensity is 1% of that at the surface. Its exact depth is dependent, therefore, on the extent of the light reduction within that water column, or in other words, it depends on how transparent the water is. The depth of the Photic zome typically ranges from only a few centimetres, normally in muddy, nutrient rich lakes, to around 200 meters, normally a depth found in the open ocean.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Ocean Ecosystems: Open Ocean Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Clover The realm of open water, called the pelagic zone, has the greatest volume and vertical range of any life zone. It includes the region above the continental shelf , called the neritic province, and the region beyond, called the oceanic province. Gradations in light, temperature, water chemistry, nutrient content, and pressure result in a diversity of environments that are filled by a large number of species. Life is found throughout the water column (that is, top to bottom), but mostly in the photic zone, the region where sunlight makes photosynthesis possible. Organisms are also more abundant where there are more nutrients: in the neritic, where nutrients wash off the land, and in upwelling zones, where relatively cold nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean rise to the surface. Pelagic life is dominated by plankton , mostly tiny organisms that move with water currents. Photosynthesis by phytoplankton is directly or indirectly the primary food source for all marine life. The animals, or zooplankton, that eat them may also be tiny, like krill, or they may be larger, like jellyfish, and able to make small, directed motions. The active swimmers that inhabit the open ocean are called nekton. While the vast majority of nekton are fish and mammals, they include invertebrates, such as mollusks and crustaceans."

"text": "Interesting Facts About the Benthic Zone That are Beyond Awesome The region closest to the sediment of a water body is known as its benthic zone. Animals and plants living in this region have to adapt to the very particular demands of their environment. Here's more information about the benthic region and the biome that exists in it. What's in a Name? The term 'benthic zone' comes from the Greek word 'benthos' (βένθος), meaning the depth of the sea. The term 'benthic zone' stands for the lowest ecological region in a body of water. It is defined as the region encompassing the floor and the water layer immediately above it. This terminology is independent of the depth of the water body, i.e., the benthic zone is not determined by the empirical depth at which the bottom lies, but rather by the state of being the bottom-most region. In shallow lakes and along coastlines, the benthic zone is highly interactive with the pelagic zone (the zone above the benthic zone), and there is sometimes only a few inches or feet of water between the surface and the bottom. In oceans, though, the difference really starts to come to the fore."

Because there is no light at this depth, they would have little use for eyes and therefore have none. Image courtesy of Exploring Alaska's Seamounts 2002, NOAA/OER. The importance of light in the ocean is reflected by the description of the ocean’s vertical zones of the water column in terms of how much light they receive. The ocean is generally divided into three named zones: the photic (or epipelagic), twilight (or mesopelagic), and midnight (bathypelagic) zones. The upper 200 meters of the ocean is called the epipelagic or photic zone. Sunlight penetrates this zone sufficiently to support the growth of phytoplankton and/or macro algae (i.e., plants that need sunlight to make food and survive). Limits to primary production are often low nutrient levels since mineral nutrients are consumed by producers that die and sink, removing them from the surface waters. Nutrients must be replaced by re-circulation of deeper ocean water or run-off from land."

Ecologists might study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect the number of species living in an area, the cycling of nutrients, or the growth of populations. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Ecology has a long history as a descriptive science. Modern ecology is also a rigorous experimental science. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Events that occur over ecological time (minutes to years) translate into effects over evolutionary time (decades to millennia). For example, hawks feeding on field mice kill certain individuals (over ecological time), reducing population size (an ecological effect), altering the gene pool (an evolutionary effect), and selecting for mice with fur color that camouflages them in their environment (over evolutionary time). Ecological research ranges from the adaptations of individual organisms to the dynamics of the biosphere."

Lentic waters range from ponds to lakes to wetlands, and much of this article applies to lentic ecosystems in general. Lentic ecosystems can be compared with lotic ecosystems, which involve flowing terrestrial waters such as rivers and streams. Together, these two fields form the more general study area of freshwater or aquatic ecology. Lentic systems are diverse, ranging from a small, temporary rainwater pool a few inches deep to Lake Baikal, which has a maximum depth of 1740 m. [2] The general distinction between pools/ponds and lakes is vague, but Brown [1] states that ponds and pools have their entire bottom surfaces exposed to light, while lakes do not. In addition, some lakes become seasonally stratified (discussed in more detail below.) Ponds and pools have two regions: the pelagic open water zone, and the benthic zone, which comprises the bottom and shore regions."

Water temperature is a physical property expressing how hot or cold water is. As hot and cold are both arbitrary terms, temperature can further be defined as a measurement of the average thermal energy of a substance 5. Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules, so temperature in turn measures the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules 5. This energy can be transferred between substances as the flow of heat. Heat transfer, whether from the air, sunlight, another water source or thermal pollution can change the temperature of water. Water temperature plays a major role in the quality of aquatic life and habitats. Heat flow and the fluctuation of temperature determine what species will live and thrive in a body of water."

"text": "The photic zone is the surface layer of a body of water. It has enough light for organisms to photosynthesize. In the ocean, around 90% of the life can be found in this zone. The depth of this zone can vary tremendously, depending on a number of different factors. Depth of the photic zone is measured with a device called a Secchi disc; the disk is dropped in the water and observers make note of the point at which the pattern on the disc cannot be clearly distinguished. Also called the euphotic zone, the photic zone harbors organisms which need light for energy, along with organisms which rely on these organisms for sustenance. This includes plants, bacteria, algae, and many animals. Some inhabitants of this area have developed creative adaptations like pigments which help them utilize sunlight more effectively, so that they can survive in lower light levels. In the ocean, beyond the photic zone lies a phantasmagoria of curious ocean creatures which inhabit the aphotic zone. These creatures have adapted to live in total darkness, and can withstand the extreme cold and pressure found in the depths of the ocean."

The demersal zone is everything in the ocean near the sea floor or the coast. Separated into epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic and hadopelagic subzones, areas in the pelagic zone are distinguished by their depth and the ecology of the zone. The epipelagic zone is closest to the surface and stretches down 200 m. An abundance of light allows for photosynthesis by plants and nutrients for animals like tuna and sharks. The mesopelagic zone, also known as the twilight zone, begins at 200 m down and reaches a depth of 1,000 m and has a little light but not enough for photosynthesis to occur. The bathypelagic zone follows from 1000- 4,000 m in depth, a subzone containing the infrequent bioluminescent organism. Unique animals like the marine hatchet fish and giant squid live in this subzone, surviving mostly on the detritus that drifts down from the epipelagic zone. The abyssopelagic zone is located from 4,000 m to directly above the ocean floor and is a completely dark area home to colorless and blind animals. The deepest subzone is the hadopelagic zone, a name that originates from the Greek underworld Hades and refers to the ocean water in submarine trenches. Scientists generally classify the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones into what is known as the photic zone - or where light penetrates the water."

This paper will examine the psychological and physiological effects of abortion, on the women who had them, later in life. This paper dealing with abortion will not explore either side of the abortion debate because to do so would introduce biases. This paper will examine physical complications and problems resulting from abortions. This paper will also examine this mystery of Post Abortion Syndrome and outline the symptoms, causes, criteria and treatments, for the disorder itself. In a recent study in Buffalo more than 400 women were poled two years after they had an abortion, and it was found that only seven out of ten were glad for their decision, 12% were unsure, and 19% regretted it. ( Western Report 1998, 29) In the past there has been debate as to the mere existence of Post-Abortion-Stress disorder, this paper will dispel that confusion.2.0 Review of Literature2.1 psychological Effects of Abortion It has been discovered that there are many emotional aspects that can effect the psychological well being of women who undergo an abortion.

This has a few different explanations. Learn how a pregnancy test works and how long it usually remains positive after a miscarriage. How a Pregnancy Test Works Pregnancy tests detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone h CG ( human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood or urine. Most of the time, h CG is only in a woman's body during pregnancy, so a test is usually fairly conclusive for pregnancy. There are some rare ovarian tumors which secrete h CG, but these are extremely uncommon. However, after an embryo or fetus stops growing and a miscarriage occurs, the hormone does not disappear from a woman's body right away. The level of h CG gradually decreases, falling back down to zero over a period of days, or even weeks, depending on how far along the pregnancy was when the miscarriage happened. Because today's pregnancy tests usually detect even very low levels of h CG, taking a pregnancy test in the days or immediate weeks after your miscarriage can still show a positive result. You may also continue to feel pregnancy symptoms after a miscarriage, even when it is 100 percent certain that you have miscarried."

"text": "Signs and Symptoms Of Early Miscarriage By Tiffany Tseng. May 7th 2016Miscarriage is often defined as a spontaneous loss of the fetus before the 20 th week of pregnancy, and happens usually from naturally occurring events other than a medical or surgical abortion. Most pregnancy losses occur before the 12 th week of pregnancy. According to Mayo Clinic, about 15 to 20 percent of known pregnancies result in miscarriages, and there may be times when a woman has a miscarriage without knowing that she is pregnant. Research has also shown that chemically or artificially induced pregnancies (such as in-vitro fertilization) have a higher rate of miscarriage than natural pregnancies. Cause Since miscarriages are not medically or surgically induced, what can cause them? There are several factors that contribute to and can increase the risk of a miscarriage: Infection during early stage of pregnancy Exposure to environmental toxins (such as heavy smog or chemical leaks)Hormonal disorders and/or thyroid abnormalities Abnormalities of the uterus Abnormalities in the cervix Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, drug use, food choices, malnutrition, etc. ) Immunological disorders Obesity Other pre-existing medical conditions of the mother, such as heart disease or diabetes Radiation exposure Abnormal chromosomes or genes Maternal age Psychological, emotional, or physical trauma Sometimes, the cause of a miscarriage cannot be determined and remains unknown. There are women who may be genetically predisposed to recurring pregnancy loss, so it may be helpful to trace the family tree from both parents' sides to see if that is a hereditary trait. Signs and Types Most of the time, miscarriage is a process instead of a single event."

By Krissi Danielsson Updated November 20, 2017Share Pin Email Print JGI/Jamie Grill/Getty Images After a miscarriage, it can take awhile to fully recover physically, and sometimes even longer when it comes to the emotions that result from a miscarriage. Depending on how far along the pregnancy was when a miscarriage happened, it can take a few weeks to a month, or even longer, to make a full recovery. Physical Symptoms of Miscarriage Many women are prepared for some of the physical symptoms of miscarriage, including: Vaginal bleeding Absent menstrual periods Lower abdominal pain and cramping Back pain Passing tissue or clots However, what many women do not expect are the physical symptoms of pregnancy that can linger after a miscarriage. This can be confusing and upsetting. Lingering pregnancy symptoms after a miscarriage can feel like adding insult to injury for obvious reasons. It's easier to put up with nausea and tiredness if there's going to be a happy ending to it all. Causes of Pregnancy Symptoms After Miscarriage Doctors believe that pregnancy hormones play a role in causing morning sickness, breast soreness, tiredness, and other standard symptoms of early pregnancy. After a miscarriage, your hormones will not return to pre-pregnant levels right away, so there can be a period of time that you will still feel pregnant, even if you have just had a D&C. Because some pregnancy hormones remain in the blood for one to two months after a miscarriage, even after a conclusive miscarriage diagnosis, it's possible that you will continue to have nausea and other pregnancy symptoms for some time, especially if your miscarriage happened later in the first trimester."

Though miscarriage occurs in about half of all pregnancies, only 10% of pregnancies are known and most occur during the first 13 weeks. Often, a miscarriage is nature’s way of ending a pregnancy in which the fetus is not growing as it should or would not have been able to survive. In many cases, there is no known cause for a miscarriage. The loss of a pregnancy, no matter how early, can result in feelings of loss and grief. Speak with your doctor if these feelings become overwhelming. Genetic Causes Most first-trimester miscarriages are caused by chromosomal errors that occur when the fetus is first forming. Chromosomes are tiny structures inside the center of each of the body's cells, each carrying many genes that determine a person’s traits. Most chromosome problems are not inherited and are not likely to occur in another pregnancy. In most cases, there is nothing wrong with the health of the female or male partner."

"text": "\"When you have had a miscarriage, you will probably be waiting for the time you are going to have the period. You might be eager to try to get pregnant again, just after having a miscarriage. When your period resumes after this ordeal, it’s an indicator that your health might be getting back to normal and you will recover fully in a few days. The most important thing that rings in the mind of most women who have had miscarriage is when the period will return and how it will be when it arrives. When to Expect Your First Period After Miscarriage Mostly when you have a miscarriage, you will tend to bleed for a wholemonth, or do not bleed at all for several months. The next menstrualcycle depends mostly on the condition of your body after miscarriage. Most women will tend to experience light or heavy vaginal discharge regularly after the mishap. The bleeding sometimes goes away and returns later; however, no one should assume this to be a normal menstrual period bleeding. We could say that it’s the cleaning process of your body after miscarriage. In addition, there are certain body factors that need to be normalized."

By Elizabeth Leis-Newman June 2012, Vol 43, No. 6Print version: page 56The tragedy of miscarriage has traditionally been private, an event grieved largely by the mother, on her own. Health-care professionals advised these women that the sadness would grow less pronounced over time, especially following a successful pregnancy. But new research suggests that some women may mourn for much longer than expected, even after the birth of a healthy child, although the range and severity of the symptoms may vary. That's also true for men, as new studies have found that men grieve over a miscarriage more than once thought. \"\" Because it is medically common, the impact of miscarriage is often underestimated,\"\" says Janet Jaffe, Ph D, a clinical psychologist at the Center for Reproductive Psychology in San Diego and co-author of the 2010 book \"\"Reproductive Trauma: Psychotherapy with Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Clients.\"\" \"\" But miscarriage is a traumatic loss, not only of the pregnancy, but of a woman's sense of self and her hopes and dreams of the future. She has lost her ‘reproductive story,' and it needs to be grieved. \"\" A woman who has a miscarriage is at risk for depression and anxiety symptoms in subsequent years, says University of Rochester Medical Center psychiatry professor Emma Robertson Blackmore, Ph D. In addition, even after having a healthy child, women who miscarry have a higher risk of postpartum depression, Robertson Blackmore has found."

They are the leading cause of death for infants during the first year of life. Birth defects may be caused by genetic problems, problems with chromosomes, or environmental factors. Structural birth defects are related to a problem with body parts such as cleft lip or cleft palate, heart defects such as missing or misshaped valves, abnormal limbs such as a club foot, and neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Functional birth defects are related to a problem with how a body part or body system works. These problems often lead to developmental disabilities and can include things such as nervous system or brain problems, sensory problems, metabolic disorders, and degenerative disorders."

Your OB will have specific instructions based on your individual conditions and desire to become pregnant again. You'll also need to ensure that you have your doctor's OK before you begin exercising again. You'll likely need to rest for two to three days following your miscarriage and any procedure your OB has completed to remove lingering tissue in the uterus.

It's often used to complete a miscarriage in cases where the uterus fails to fully empty the contents of a failed pregnancy. The procedure to induce an abortion before the 12th week of pregnancy is performed in a similar manner. In addition, the procedure is used to diagnose or treat abnormal uterine bleeding and to help diagnose uterine cancer. Overview Sometimes a D&C is medically necessary. If a woman has unusually heavy bleeding as a miscarriage complication, a D&C can even be lifesaving because it stops the bleeding at the source. In other cases, a D&C might be used if the doctor feels the miscarriage is unlikely to complete without intervention. Although D&C is used as a general term for surgical treatment of a miscarriage, in the first trimester the procedure is usually a D&A (dilation and aspiration), meaning the doctor uses a \"\"suction curette\"\" rather than a sharp curette to empty the uterus. Benefits Women who have D&Cs have lower rates of unplanned hospital admissions than women who have miscarriages with medical intervention or no intervention. Psychologically, a D&C can also have benefits in that it ends the physical part of the miscarriage much more quickly."

Surely there are different elements that influence the cost of the project and those factors are what we want to talk about today. Home and business owners need to be financially prepared for the expenses entailed and so it would help you a lot if you’ll understand how plumbing jobs are estimated. This way, you’ll not only be prepared budget-wise but you’ll also be ready to make new decisions should complexities arise.1. Estimation Based On Square Foot Costs According to reports, the national average cost of plumbing work per square foot amounted to $4 in 2012. However, note that there are areas that charge more and areas that charge less. For instance, reports claimed that plumbing companies in San Francisco charged $5, a dollar more than the national average. Anyway, these are only estimates and do not represent the actual price. These are only used to give you an idea on how much money you should prepare if you’ll work with plumbing professionals."

In modern engineering, the term is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose. In a more restricted use, aqueduct (occasionally water bridge) applies to any bridge or viaduct that transports water - instead of a path, road or railway - across a gap. Large navigable aqueducts are used as transport links for boats or ships. Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level as the watercourses on each end. The word is derived from the Latin aqua (\"\"water\"\") and ducere (\"\"to lead\"\"). The Romans constructed aqueducts to bring a constant flow of water from distant sources into cities and towns, supplying public baths, latrines, fountains and private households. Waste water was removed by the sewage systems and released into nearby bodies of water, keeping the towns clean and free from noxious waste. Some aqueducts also served water for mining, processing, manufacturing, and agriculture. Aqueducts moved water through gravity alone, along a slight downward gradient within conduits of stone, brick or concrete."

"text": "BEIJING, July 10, 2014 – By the end of 2013, China had built a high speed rail [1] network of over 10,000 route-km, far exceeding that in any other country and larger than the network in the entire European Union. It has been accomplished at a cost which is at most two-thirds of that in other countries. A new World Bank paper takes a look at this expansion, its construction unit costs and some of its key cost components. It also outlines reasons that may explain the comparatively low cost of high speed railway construction in China. According to the paper titled High-Speed Railways in China: A Look at Construction Costs, several factors influence the cost of a high speed rail project construction. The major factors include the line design speed, topography along the alignment, weather conditions, land acquisition costs, use of viaducts instead of embankments, the construction of major bridges across wide rivers, and the construction of mega stations. Laying track on viaducts is often preferred in China to minimize resettlement and the use of fertile land as well as to reduce environmental impacts. The estimated cost of viaducts in China ranges from RMB 57 to 73 m/km for a double track line. Such costs are kept low through standardization of the design and manufacturing process for casting and laying bridge beams on viaducts. Special bridges that cross large navigable rivers or that need to accommodate special topographic features like mountains have much higher cost per kilometer than that of a regular viaduct."

The cost of purchasing the system, the cost of installation, and the running cost of the heating once it has been installed, all need to be taken into account when assessing which type of system to use. Considering the cost of underfloor heating Initially the choice of heating system will be determined by the type of property it is going to be installed in, and by the functionality you require from your heating. If you are working on a new build project this decision might be taken after discussion with your architect and main contractors; but if you are working on a project alone you should take quotes from several suppliers and fitters to try and get the best price from both. How much is underfloor heating to install? If you are refurbishing a house, or you intend to install underfloor heating into your existing home, an electric system is likely to be cheaper to fit than a wet system. There is much less work involved in laying the cable or matting then there is laying water pipes, and some matting is supplied with adhesive backing for sticking to the subfloor. Some electric systems can be laid directly onto the existing floor and covered with a new floor; and as they are generally no more than 3mm in depth there is rarely any alteration work to the property required. In new builds wet systems are more popular than electric systems, because of the cheaper running costs and the suitability for being combined with renewable energy sources."

Builders aren’t keen on risking changing something that works well. For something new to catch on there needs to be a compelling reason, usually in terms of cost or time saving. Sometimes the impetus is driven by changes to the Building Regs, such as meeting stiff thermal insulation targets, or architects may start specifying something en-masse that’s of demonstrably improved quality or performance.

"text": "Ancient Aqueducts Prev NEXTAn aqueduct. HSW 2008To achieve a consistent, shallow slope to move the water in a continuous flow, the Romans lay underground pipes and constructed siphons throughout the landscape. Workers dug winding channels underground and created networks of water pipes to carry water from the source lake or basin into Rome. The pipes were typically built in concrete, but were sometimes made of lead when the government provided enough cash (lead was very expensive in 300 B. C.). When the pipes had to span a valley, they built a siphon underground: a vast dip in the land that caused the water to drop so quickly it had enough momentum to make it uphill. Siphons are part of the mechanism that makes toilets flush, too (see How Toilets Work ). The problem with siphons, though, was the cost: Siphons really needed lead pipes to work effectively, since the water had to pick up speed. This led to the use of the features most of us have come to associate with Roman aqueducts: the arches. When siphons were impractical, which was often, arches were constructed to span the valley. The pipes ran along the tops of the arches."

"text": "How much does it cost to insulate an attic? Insulation is a material used to prevent heat loss or heat gain. It effectively creates a barrier between two spaces to control temperature variances. Homes contain insulation that is made from either spun glass ( fiberglass 1) or rock substances that have been heated and spun into fine, hair-like material (rock wool) and a binding agent is used to hold these materials together. Some homes may also have insulation boards or spray foam as an insulate. A properly insulated home and attic can save 10 to 50 percent off your home’s power bill, according to the U. S. Department of Energy. Heat rises in a home, and without attic insulation, it quickly escapes through the home’s roof. Insulation prevents heat and cooling loss in the home, so with attic insulation, your home will feel warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. An average-size attic of 1,200 square feet will usually cost about $1,700-$2,000 for blown-in cellulose or fiberglass. Energy audit Ideally, prior to insulating your attic, you should have an energy audit to determine where your home may be losing energy."

OTEC can operate with a very high capacity factor and so can operate in base load mode. Among ocean energy sources, OTEC is one of the continuously available renewable energy resources that could contribute to base-load power supply. [ 1] The resource potential for OTEC is considered to be much larger than for other ocean energy forms [World Energy Council, 2000]. Up to 88,000 TWh /yr of power could be generated from OTEC without affecting the ocean’s thermal structure [Pelc and Fujita, 2002]. Systems may be either closed-cycle or open-cycle. Closed-cycle OTEC uses working fluids that are typically thought of as refrigerants such as ammonia or R-134a. These fluids have low boiling points, and are therefore suitable for powering the system’s generator to generate electricity. The most commonly used heat cycle for OTEC to date is the Rankine cycle, using a low-pressure turbine. Open-cycle engines use vapour from the seawater itself as the working fluid. OTEC can also supply quantities of cold water as a by-product. This can be used for air conditioning and refrigeration and the nutrient-rich deep ocean water can feed biological technologies."

"text": "Long-distance Cable Costs Ever wonder how much a long-distance cable costs? Apparently, the costs to rent a slice of a long-distance cable from AT&T or MCI are quite high. A 1000km OC-3 (150Mbps) link may cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 per year, for terrestrial cables. I would guess that undersea cables are much more expensive to rent. But how much does it cost AT&T to install one of these cables? Undersea Cables This table lists some undersea cables, their speed, estimated total cost, cost per km, and cost per megabit.

Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods or material through a pipe. The latest data from 2014 gives a total of slightly less than 2,175,000 miles (3,500,000 km) of pipeline in 120 countries of the world. [ 1] The United States had 65%, Russia had 8%, and Canada had 3%, thus 75% of all pipeline were in these three countries. [ 1]Pipeline and Gas Journal' s worldwide survey figures indicate that 118,623 miles (190,905 km) of pipelines are planned and under construction. Of these, 88,976 miles (143,193 km) represent projects in the planning and design phase; 29,647 miles (47,712 km) reflect pipelines in various stages of construction. Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines and any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline. [ 2] Pipelines exist for the transport of crude and refined petroleum, fuels – such as oil, natural gas and biofuels – and other fluids including sewage, slurry, water, and beer. Pipelines are useful for transporting water for drinking or irrigation over long distances when it needs to move over hills, or where canals or channels are poor choices due to considerations of evaporation, pollution, or environmental impact. Pneumatic tubes using compressed air can be used to transport solid capsules."

The crude oil pipeline is privately owned by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. The pipeline was built between 1974 and 1977 after the 1973 oil crisis caused a sharp rise in oil prices in the United States. This rise made exploration of the Prudhoe Bay oil field economically feasible. Environmental, legal, and political debates followed the discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay in 1968, and the pipeline was built only after the oil crisis provoked the passage of legislation designed to remove legal challenges to the project."

"text": "How much does it cost to insulate an attic? Insulation is a material used to prevent heat loss or heat gain. It effectively creates a barrier between two spaces to control temperature variances. Homes contain insulation that is made from either spun glass ( fiberglass 1) or rock substances that have been heated and spun into fine, hair-like material (rock wool) and a binding agent is used to hold these materials together. Some homes may also have insulation boards or spray foam as an insulate. A properly insulated home and attic can save 10 to 50 percent off your home’s power bill, according to the U. S. Department of Energy. Heat rises in a home, and without attic insulation, it quickly escapes through the home’s roof. Insulation prevents heat and cooling loss in the home, so with attic insulation, your home will feel warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. An average-size attic of 1,200 square feet will usually cost about $1,700-$2,000 for blown-in cellulose or fiberglass. Energy audit Ideally, prior to insulating your attic, you should have an energy audit to determine where your home may be losing energy."

This method can cost $50-$250 or more a foot, depending on the length and depth of the existing pipes, local rates and the ease of access. Replacing an average sewer line from the house to where it connects to the public sewer system typically costs $3,000-$6,000. However, if the project is complex and/or if the connection to the public system is in the middle of the street it can cost $7,000-$25,000 or more. Cost Helper readers report paying $4,500-$13,000, or $50-$100 per foot traditional replacement of 50'-100' of sewer line, for an average cost of $7,493 or $106 per foot. Trenchless sewer replacement uses minimal digging with one of several methods -- pipe-bursting, in which a machine breaks and pushes out the old pipe while pulling through and installing a new pipe in its place. Expect to pay about $60-$200 per foot, or $3,500-$20,000 for an average household sewer line depending on the type, length and depth of the existing pipe, plus the cost of any required permits or sidewalk repairs. The trenchless slip-lining method (in which a new, smaller-diameter is installed inside the existing sewer line) or relining (both of which reduce the overall interior diameter of the sewer line) typically cost $80-$250 or more a foot, or $4,000-$25,000 or more for a typical household sewer.

Malaria is caused by four species of the protozoan genus Plasmodium, P falciparum , P vivax, P malariae, and P ovale. [ 1]. Plasmodium enter the human body when bit by the infected female mosquito called Anopheles.

[ 1]Malaria may also be transmitted congenitally from mother to baby during childbirth. [ 2]The malaria parasite is found and multiplied in the red blood cells, so it can also be transmitted through blood transfusion, organ transplants, or sharing needles and syringes with contaminated blood.

Plasmodium is probably a degenerate form of algae. Mosquitoes, the vector of Plasmodium, were probably designed to be pollinators, not parasite vectors. In this article, we present both the evolutionary and creation explanation for the origin of malaria with a mention to its vector, the mosquito. The purpose of this article is to provide a reasonable explanation for the genesis of malaria. Microbiology and parasitology research based on the creation paradigm appears to provide some answers to these puzzling questions regarding the Plasmodium “kind” (Family Haemosporidae).

It results from infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the major human malarias, with P falciparum being the more virulent. During their blood stages of infection, both P falciparum and P vivax induce anemia. Severe malarial anemia caused by P falciparum is responsible for approximately a third of the deaths associated with disease. Malarial anemia appears to be multi-factorial. It involves increased removal of circulating erythrocytes as well as decreased production of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. The molecular mechanisms underlying malarial anemia are largely unknown. Over the last five years, malaria parasite ligands have been investigated for their remodeling of erythrocytes and possible roles in destruction of mature erythrocytes. Polymorphisms in cytokines have been associated with susceptibility to severe malarial anemia: these cytokines and malaria “toxins” likely function by perturbing erythropoiesis."

The parasite then infects the liver and undergoes asexual reproduction followed by insertion into red blood cells where an additional round of replication takes place. P. falciparum changes the surface of an infected red blood cell causing it to adhere to blood vessels, cytoadherence, as well as to other red blood cells.

A parasite is a microscopic organism that lives within another organism (known as a host), but provides no benefit to the host. The specific parasites that cause malaria come from the genus Plasmodium, and the parasite hosts include both animals (such as reptiles, birds, and various mammals), and a specific species of mosquitoes known as Anopheles. While there are over 100 types of Plasmodium parasites, only 4 infect humans.

Here we report an analysis of the genome sequence of P. falciparum clone 3D7. The 23-megabase nuclear genome consists of 14 chromosomes, encodes about 5,300 genes, and is the most (A + T)-rich genome sequenced to date. Genes involved in antigenic variation are concentrated in the subtelomeric regions of the chromosomes. Compared to the genomes of free-living eukaryotic microbes, the genome of this intracellular parasite encodes fewer enzymes and transporters, but a large proportion of genes are devoted to immune evasion and host–parasite interactions. Many nuclear-encoded proteins are targeted to the apicoplast, an organelle involved in fatty-acid and isoprenoid metabolism. The genome sequence provides the foundation for future studies of this organism, and is being exploited in the search for new drugs and vaccines to fight malaria. Main Despite more than a century of efforts to eradicate or control malaria, the disease remains a major and growing threat to the public health and economic development of countries in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Approximately 40% of the world's population lives in areas where malaria is transmitted. There are an estimated 300–500 million cases and up to 2.7 million deaths from malaria each year."

The parasite is spread to people by the female Anopheles mosquito, which feeds on human blood. Although four species of malaria parasites can infect humans and cause illness, only malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is potentially life-threatening. Malaria transmission occurs in large areas of Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, and vomiting, and usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite."

According to the World Health Organization, 214 million cases of malaria were reported in 2015, with 438,000 people dying from the mosquito-transmitted parasite. Ninety-one percent of these deaths occured in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite malaria mortality rates falling by 37 percent since 2000, a child in Africa still dies every minute from malaria. Malaria is most common in poor, deprived areas. In many cases, malaria itself is the cause of such poverty: malaria causes havoc on a socioeconomic level as patients are often bedridden and incapable of carrying out normal daily tasks, resulting in burdens on households and health services, and ultimately huge losses to income in malaria-endemic countries. This suffering and loss of life are tragically unnecessary because malaria is largely preventable, detectable, and treatable. While 91 percent of malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, the disease is present in nearly every tropical area where MSF carries out field programs: from Ethiopia and Sierra Leone to Myanmar."

Plasmodium, which infects red blood cells in mammals (including humans), birds, and reptiles, occurs worldwide, especially in tropical and temperate zones. The organism is transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Other insects and some mites may also transmit forms of malaria to animals. Five species of Plasmodium are known to cause human malaria: P. vivax (producing the most widespread form), P. ovale (relatively uncommon), P. falciparum (producing the most severe symptoms), P. malariae, and P. knowlesi. There are several species that have been isolated from chimpanzees, including P. reichenowi and P. gaboni. P. falciparum, P. gaboni, and other species have been isolated from gorillas. Examples of parasites found in reptiles include P. mexicanum and P. floridense, and those in birds include P. relictum and P. juxtanucleare. Plasmodium species exhibit three life-cycle stages—gametocytes, sporozoites, and merozoites. Gametocytes within a mosquito develop into sporozoites."

[ 1] The genus Plasmodium was first described in 1885. It now contains about 200 species, which are spread across the world where both the insect and vertebrate hosts are present. Five species regularly infect humans, while many others infect birds, reptiles, rodents, and various primates. [ 2]The life-cycles of Plasmodium species involve several different stages both in the insect and the vertebrate host. These stages include sporozoites, which are injected by the insect vector into the vertebrate host's blood. Sporozoites infect the host liver, giving rise to merozoites and (in some species) a dormant stage (hypnozoites)."

Malaria is a disease that is both preventable and curable, but still continues to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. A recent inquiry conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) showed that in 2009, 781,000 deaths could be attributed to malaria, and a majority of the victims were African children. This is one of the reasons that studying the species of the genus Plasmodium is so important. Although Plasmodium malariae is one of the less virulent strains of the genus, it is still one of the few species that use a human as a host. It is the study of the group of organisms that infect humans that could lead to new drugs that may be more readily available, easier to produce, cheaper, or that can combat drug-resistant strains (WHO). Genome structure Not much is known about the genome of the species Plasmodium malariae specifically, because it is among the species for which the entire genome has not been sequenced yet. However, there are some important characteristics about its genome can be determined from the genome sequences of other species in the Plasmodium genus. It is estimated that the genome of an organism in the genus Plasmodium contains anywhere from 23 million to 27 million base pairs, in the form of 14 linear chromosomes."

Paleomagnetism is the study of past magnetic fields. Hot spots are fixed pockets of heat that well up to form volcanic features. Learn how paleomagnetism and the study of hot spots provide evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics. Plate Tectonics Have you ever had what you thought was a great idea, yet when you shared your idea with others, they all thought you were crazy? We have all been there, and I think you would agree that it is not a good feeling to be told that your ideas are silly. So, you can sympathize with how the German meteorologist, Alfred Wegener, must have felt when he proposed his theory called continental drift, in which he hypothesized that at one time all of the continents were joined and then slowly drifted apart. You can image how such a radical theory would have been met with much ridicule from the scientific community, especially at the time of its proposal back in the early part of the 20th century. In fact, Wegener's ideas continued to be debated for decades following his death in 1930. But then new evidence began to surface that supported a related theory called plate tectonics, which states that the earth's crust is broken up into plates that float on top of a hotter and more fluid layer below."

The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain -building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries (or faults ). The relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually. [ 2]Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust."

The distribution of mountains, position of continents, shape of the sea floor and location of major rivers and flood plains are all largely products of processes that occur in the Geosphere. The distribution of mineral resources, such as oil, coal, metal ores and even sand and gravel are critical to the economic success of most nations. ( Credit: Philip Dennison, UC-Santa Barbara)The Geosphere is particularly important in the way it interacts with the other spheres. For example, the evolution of the modern atmosphere is believed to be a combined product of geologic processes (volcanic outgassing, rock weathering, iron oxidation) and biological processes such as photosynthesis. The primary source of carbon dioxide, which may lead to global warming, is fossil fuel mined from the Geosphere and used for energy production. Part of the water that makes up the world's ocean is believed to have originated from volcanic steam. Plant distributions, while largely controlled by global climate, vary in response to changes in elevation and the distribution of soils. The Cryosphere interfaces with the Geosphere in the way that glacial ice carves and shapes alpine terrain at high latitudes and altitudes. Volcanic ash, in turn, can decrease planetary albedo and may be one way ice-ages are initiated."

By measuring the remanent magnetic field often preserved in iron-bearing rock formations, paleomagnetic analysis can determine whether a rock was magnetized near the Pole or near the Equator.

Diagram of the internal layering of the Earth showing the lithosphere above the asthenosphere (not to scale)Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the Greek: τεκτονικός \"\"pertaining to building\"\") [1] is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth 's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain -building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries (or faults ). The relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually. [ 2]Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust."

"text": "\"Definitions Back Home Paleomagnetic anomalies on the seafloor After lava comes out of midocean ridges, it cools and solidifies into rocks called basalt. Some of the minerals that crystallize line up according to the Earth's magnetic field that surrounds them, in the same way that iron filings line up in a particular pattern around a bar magnet. The Earth's magnetic field doesn't point in the same compass direction all the time. Sometimes it behaves as if there were a bar magnet within the Earth with the positive side (north magnetic pole)pointing towards the north geographic pole. At other times, the magnetic field is reversed, as if the north pole of the bar magnet were located towards the geographic south pole. The magnetic field flips or reverses at seemingly random times, usually spaced millions of years apart. The flipping itself seems to take less than x years. Today, the Earth's magnetic field is aligned to the north geoographic pole. That's considered normal. When the magnetic field is opposite, it's considered reversed."

"text": "Sea Floor Evidence The technologies developed in the 1940s and 1950s also permitted more detailed mapping of the ocean floor and continental margins. A much better fit between the rifted continents is apparent when the shape of the continental slope is used instead of the continent's shoreline. Detailed mapping of distinctive rock units that extend out to sea along the South American and African coasts and North American and British coasts has shown that they would converge perfectly if the continents could be fitted together. Sea floor spreading. In the 1960s, geologist Harry Hess proposed that the sea floor was moving outward from the midoceanic ridges. His theory of sea floor spreading maintained that new basaltic oceanic crust forms at a midoceanic ridge and is slowly pushed away on both sides toward the continents as more new crust is produced. ( Measurements indicate that new crust moves away from a ridge at rates from 2 to 10 cm/year. ) A midoceanic ridge is called a spreading axis or spreading center. Subduction is the process by which the oceanic crust is pushed against, and finally underneath, continental or oceanic crust. Subduction zones are often marked by overlying chains of volcanic islands called island arcs."

"text": "The New Pangaea Theory Part One Introduction to the New Pangaea Theory The scientific history concerning our planet is fraught with well-intentioned but incorrect ideas that were believed by both the lay persons and the experts of their time. The Earth has been flat, solid, heating up, cooling down, shrinking, expanding and stable depending on the slice of history you go back to. The Earth has ridden on the backs of dragons, lions and turtles and been held up by gods. It was once at the center of everything and stationary. At each stage the experts held, promoted and defended their ideas with the evidence and logic available to them at the time. Plate Tectonics is the latest theory of how our planet came to be. This modern day theory is also incorrect. New objective research dating the Earth’s ocean basin formation and growth patterns (shown below) does not support Plate Tectonics’ version of Pangaea and its separation. The on-site article The Seven Enigmas of Plate Tectonics details why. Plate Tectonics’ failure to accurately represent Pangaea’s break up and separation requires a reassessment of the known information."

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

Keywords: plate tectonics – alternative geological theories – surge tectonics – wrench tectonics – expansion tectonics – sociology of science NCGT Group: Origins and Activities The New Concepts in Global Tectonics Group is an informal association of earth scientists who are critical of plate tectonics and want to explore alternative theories. It arose after a symposium on “Alternative theories to plate tectonics” held at the 30th International Geological Congress (IGC) in Beijing in August 1996. The name “New Concepts in Global Tectonics” was taken from an earlier symposium held in association with the 28th IGC in Washington, DC, in 1989 (see Chatterjee & Hotton, 1992). The first issue of the New Concepts in Global Tectonics Newsletter appeared in December 1996. In their editorial, J. M. Dickins and D. R. Choi wrote: Although enormous strides have been made in our knowledge of the earth and much has been added to Geology by Physics and Chemistry, we need to acknowledge that we are only at the beginning of tabulating and understanding what is at the surface of the earth, let alone what is underneath.... In this context, in the 1950s and 60s the new theory of Plate Tectonics was propounded by “Geophysicists” (Physicists) and mainly young Geologists with little experience, depth of understanding or respect for existing geology. The theory, although admittedly simplistic and with little factual basis but claiming to be all embracing, was pursued by its proponents in an aggressive, intolerant, dogmatic and sometimes unfortunately an unscrupulous fashion."

We are surrounded by magnets. But that’s nothing new; Earth is littered with magnetic minerals. Some organisms have even evolved to make use of them. In ancient times, lodestones were humanity’s introduction to the mysterious force. On the Internet, retired NASA scientist David P. Stern ponders the course of civilization without those rare stones and describes a colleague’s research that suggests lodestones may be the result of lightning striking the right kind of iron ore. As a geologist, I have long known the importance of magnetic data in revealing Earth’s secrets, such as the reality of plate tectonics. But the new discoveries, coming new techniques for measuring weak magnetic fields, are equally impressive. A best place to get caught up on the new findings is the August issue of Elements, an international magazine of mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology. The editors assembled five articles on ground-breaking research in the field, which I will list below."
