"text": "Article Influence of HCL on polypyrrole films prepared chemically from ferric chloride Authors Mohamad M. Ayad Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Tanta, Tanta, Egypt Current affiliation: Department of Science, T. T. Junior College Al-Baha, P. O. Box 670, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Search for more papers by this author First published: 15 January 1994 Full publication history DOI: 10.1002/pola.1994.080320102 View/save citation Cited by: 22 articles Refreshcitation count Citing literature Abstract Smooth, adherent films of the electrically conducting polypyrrole formed on surfaces in contact with unstirred aqueous solutions containing the pyrrole monomer and the oxidant, Fe Cl 3. Contradictory reports in the literature concerning the influence of HCl on the growth rate and electrical conductivity of polypyrrole grown in this manner prompted this study of the growth rate and conductivity of films. With no intentional addition of HCl, the growth rate of the films, measured using a quartz crystal microbalance, was fit to a simple second-order model in which the rate was limited by the bulk depletion of reactants. The conductivity of the films was found to be about 1 S cm −1. Both the growth rate and the electrical conductivity initially increased with the deliberate addition of HCl to the solution. The conductivity was found to peak at a value about 20 S cm −1 at an initial HCl concentration of 0.3 M. At initial HCl concentration of 2 M or more, films could not be grown. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Continue reading full article Ancillary Article Information Citing Literature"

"text": "The month of Shravan is the fifth month of the Hindu calendar beginning from Chaitra, and is the most auspicious month of the Chaturmas. On Purnima or fullmoon day, or during the course of the month the star ‘Shravan’ rules the sky, hence the month is called Shravan. This month is spread out with innumerably religious festivals and ceremonies and almost all the days of this month are auspicious. Shravan is considered the holiest month of the year. Each Monday of this month, known as Shravana Somvar, is a special day in temples where the Dharanatra hangs over the ling or the idol to bathe it with holy water, day and night. Devotees pile the ling high with Bael leaves and flowers and fast till sunset. The Nandadeep (24 hour lamp) burns steadily in the temples. Lord Shiva and Shravan Mas The churning of oceans “Samudra Manthan” between Dev (Demi-Gods) and Danav (Demons) took place in the month of Shravan, fourteen different types of rubies came out. Thirteen of these were distributed amongst the Dev and Danav’s, except Halahal (poison). Lord Shiva drank the Halahal and stored it in his throat."

Set on a wide limestone hill between two deep valleys (the Cava San Leonardo and the Cava Santa Domenica), it is divided into two distinct areas: Ragusa Ibla (the lower side) and Ragusa (the upper side), separated by the so-called valle dei ponti (valley of the bridges), a deep valley that is crossed by four successive bridges, among which that known as dei cappuccini (of the Capuchins), dating from the 18th century, is especially renowned. Its diverse architectonic features are evidence for an intense seismic activity in past times. After the 1693’s earthquake the residents settled on the site known as Ibla, that, today, with its medieval layout and lovely baroque architecture, is a most attractive historical centre and a major goal of tourists. The new quarters developed on a more modern orthogonal grid, with large and versatile streets. HISTORYRagusa Ibla was founded on the site of ancient Sikel town Hybla Herea, of which remains have been found, such as rectangular burial niches in the Gonfalone valley, along the road to Modica. Some of these have been faithfully reconstructed within the Archaeological Museum of Ragusa. Few centuries later, Ragusa was taken by the Greeks who would largely influence all Sicily’s culture. A few necropolises discovered in the surrounding territory (along Cartolillo, Cava Pece, Cucinello and Tabuna districts) is all that remains of that period. Hybla Herea maintained its independence until the Roman invasion in the 3rd century BC, eventually becoming a Province of the Empire."

The city is situated on the gulf of the same name, extends along the lowest ridges of the Ligurian Apennines, which sweep around the gulf, between the mouths of the Polcevera and the Bisagno, and is protected from the inroads of these waters by the Punta della Lanterna and the Punta del Carignano. The bay forms a natural harbour secured against storms by the promontory of Portofino, which acts as a breakwater. Two piers (the smaller one begun in 1133) were necessary to break the force of the tide during storms. Its favourable position has made Genoa the largest trade centre on the Mediterranean. It is also a naval fortress with a chain of defences about ten miles in length. In 205 B. C., Mago the Carthaginian landed there with a large army, and sacked the town for its sympathy with Rome, the rest of Liguria supporting the Carthaginians. From the end of the Second Punic War, Genoa belonged to Rome. After the Lombard invasion, it remained subject to Byzantium, like nearly all the maritime towns of Italy."

"text": "22 Fun Facts About the Galician Language Galician is a Romance language (i.e., from Latin) spoken by about 3 million people in Spain’s northwestern region of Galicia. Although it’s most closely related to Portuguese—which is spoken south of the border—it shares many similarities with Castilian Spanish, including sounds and spelling. A Coruña If you’re planning on spending any time traveling or living in this unique corner of Spain, or walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that ends here, even a tiny knowledge of Galician will help you get around and navigate menus, maps, etc. If you happen to speak Spanish, you’re already 80% of the way to understanding Galician, and I’m serious! Getting a grasp on the grammatical and phonological differences will turbo boost you up to 90%. To whet your appetite (both literally and linguistically), here’s a little selection from the Galician Wikipedia’s article on empanada, or meat pie: Unha empanada é unha preparación culinaria consistente nunha masa e un recheo que se frixe ou coce no forno. Consiste nunha masa de fariña, elaborada máis ou menos como unha masa de pan rechea de carne ou outros produtos (tamén verduras peixes, ou mariscos variados), previamente cociñados de formas moi variadas segundo a gastronomía local, pero sendo con moita cebola frixida en aceite o modo tradicional en Galicia. Este é un tipo de alimento de orixe moi antiga que se da en case tódalas culturas.

"text": "\"The White Tower The White Tower (1950) is a post-war movie ostensibly about a treacherous mountain climb, but more symbolically about the reorganization of the world in the wake of World War II and those looking for meaning in it. Based on the book by novelist and mountain climber James Ramsey Ullman, The White Tower brings together an American GI (Glenn Ford), a disillusioned writer (Claude Rains), a British naturalist (Sir Cedric Hardwicke), a local guide (Oskar Homolka), a closet Nazi (Lloyd Bridges) and a local woman (Alida Valli from Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case, 1947), daughter of a famous climber, who is determined to conquer the mountain where her father died. Each character has his or her own reason for climbing the White Tower and will confront their true nature in the mist and snow of its dangerous peaks. Adjustment to the post-war climate and the emerging House Un American Activities Committee hearings affected the production of the film itself. The White Tower was originally slated to be produced by Adrian Scott ( Murder, My Sweet, 1944, Crossfire, 1947) and his directing partner Edward Dmytryk, but was handed over to Sid Rogell ( Blood on the Moon, 1948) and Ted Tetzlaff ( Notorious, 1946) when Scott and Dmytryk were blacklisted, becoming part of the \"\"Hollywood Ten.\"\" Ullman's novel was adapted for the screen by Paul Jarrico ( Thousands Cheer, 1943, Song of Russia, 1944), who would also be blacklisted shortly afterward. Lloyd Bridges was also questioned by the HUAC for possible involvement in the Communist Party, but was cleared by the FBI and resumed his career. By the time he appeared as the unrepentant fascist in The White Tower, Bridges had already established himself in adventure movies. He made the successful transition to television and by 1958 was in one of the most popular TV series of that era - Sea Hunt. Like the character he plays in The White Tower, Glenn Ford's life was interrupted by WWII."

This is an addition to my paper which analysed Ancient Egyptian and Bantu cognates. The word cognate derives from the Latin cognatus ‘born together’. Therefore cognates are those words that derive from a single earlier common ancestor or original form of language. These words have diversified into similar forms in contemporary languages. My research will demonstrate the sound and meaning relationships between the two languages thus establishing a linguistic link. This will add to the evidence that the Ancient Egyptians language originated in Africa and linguistically should be reclassified as forming part of the Niger Congo group of languages as opposed to the Afro-Asiatic grouping. The above, Kiswahili-Bantu word ‘HUTUAPO’ is an example of a common word whose etymology needs to be explained. It stands for the Ancient Egyptian skeletal consonants HTP. This is usually spoken as ‘HOTEP’ by wrongly inserting the vowels O and E. The Ancient Egyptians used consonants in their scripts and researchers have failed to identify the correct vowels that were omitted."

[ 1] Architectural concepts are incorporated into Samoan proverbs, oratory and metaphors, as well as linking to other art forms in Samoa, such as boat building and tattooing. The spaces outside and inside of traditional Samoan architecture are part of cultural form, ceremony and ritual. Fale is the Samoan word for all types of houses, from small to large. In general, traditional Samoan architecture is characterized by an oval or circular shape, with wooden posts holding up a domed roof. There are no walls. The base of the architecture is a skeleton frame. Before European arrival and the availability of Western materials, a Samoan fale did not use any metal in its construction.

"text": "Finding the General Formula for the kth Polygonal Number Posted on August 1, 2012 by Guillermo Bautista 5 Comments0 93 2 11If we represent numbers using “dots,” there are special numbers that can form “polygons.” Numbers that can form polygons are called polygonal numbers. For example, the square numbers 1, 4, 9, 16 and so on form a “square.” As shown below, it is easy to see that the 10th square number is a square with 10 rows and 10 columns. This means that the 10th square number is equal to 100 (has 100 dots). The Representation of Square Numbers Like square numbers, triangular numbers form a shape. You guessed it right, the shape is a triangle. Finding the 15th triangular number seems hard, but we have already learned that triangular numbers are connected to the sum of the first m positive integers. The m th triangular number hasdots. The Representation of Triangular Numbers Notice that for each “polygonal number” a formula is needed to get the total number of dots."

Polygons are made up of straight lines making a closed bounded shape. Mainly, there are two types of polygons - regular and irregular polygons. Regular polygons have the same measure of sides and angles. While, irregular polygons have different measures of sides and angles. Polygons are also classified on the basis of their number of sides and angles. Polygon with 3 sides is better known as a triangle. The quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, parallelogram are examples of 4-sided polygons. The Polygon with 5 sides is known as a pentagon."

A decagon is defined as a polygon that has ten sides. It has ten vertices and 10 angles. Both regular and non regular decagons have the same number of sides but in regular decagon, all the sides measure equal in length. Decagon Shape: The shape of a regular decagon is given below -Some important fact about Decagon are as follows: The number of distinct diagonals in a decagon is 35. The total interior angle of a decagon is given by, Total interior angle = (n - 2)180 degrees. So, in a decagon the sum of all interior angle = 1440 degrees.

Regular Polygons Only with regular polygons can you find the measurement of its angles. What makes a polygon, or a flat shape with straight lines, regular? A regular polygon is defined as a flat shape whose sides are all equal in length and whose angles are all equal. Visually, I like to think of these shapes as wannabe circles. These shapes so want to be circles that they are stretching their ends out as far as they can. Do you see this below, too? These shapes are all regular polygons."

Sommars Lucent Technologies Indian Hill, IL Email address: [email protected] and Tim Sommars Wheaton North High School Wheaton, IL Email address: [email protected] (Affliliation for identification only, the paper is not officially endorsed by either organization. ) Abstract: We consider the number of triangles formed by the intersecting diagonals of a regular polygon. Basic geometry provides a slight overcount, which is corrected by applying a result of Poonen and Rubinstein [1]. The number of triangles is 1, 8, 35, 110, 287, 632, 1302, 2400, 4257, 6956 for polygons with 3 through 12 sides. Introduction If we connect all vertices of a regular N -sided polygon we obtain a figure with = N (N - 1) / 2 lines. For N =8, the figure is: Careful counting shows that there are 632 triangles in this eight sided figure. Derivation All triangles are formed by the intersection of three diagonals at three different points. There are five arrangements of three diagonals to consider. We classify them based on the number of distinct diagonal endpoints. We will directly count the number of triangles with 3, 4 and 5 endpoints (top three figures)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Polygon (disambiguation). Some polygons of different kinds: open (excluding its boundary), boundary only (excluding interior), closed (including both boundary and interior), and self-intersecting. In elementary geometry, a polygon ( / ˈ p ɒ l ɪ ɡ ɒ n /) is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n -gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3-gon. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions. The basic geometrical notion of a polygon has been adapted in various ways to suit particular purposes. Mathematicians are often concerned only with the bounding closed polygonal chain and with simple polygons which do not self-intersect, and they often define a polygon accordingly. A polygonal boundary may be allowed to intersect itself, creating star polygons and other self-intersecting polygons."

The formula for finding the perimeter of certain shapes will be discussed in this lesson, and there will be some examples to help you understand how to calculate the perimeter. Definition The word perimeter means a path that surrounds an area. It comes from the Greek word 'peri,' meaning around, and 'metron,' which means measure. Its first recorded usage was during the 15th century. In mathematics, the perimeter refers to the total length of the sides or edges of a polygon, a two-dimensional figure with angles. When describing the measurement around a circle, we use the word circumference, which is simply the perimeter of a circle. There are many practical applications for finding the perimeter of an object."

"text": "Get a Tutor Sub Topics Area of Right Triangle Inradius and Circumradius of Right Triangle Altitude of Right Triangle A triangle is a geometric figure which is made of three straight lines and the sum of its angles is equal to 180 degree. A triangle is right triangle or right angled triangle, if any one of its three angles is equal to 90 degree. The side opposite to the 90 degree angle or right angle is known as the hypotenuse. The properties of right triangle are properties that define a right angled triangle. The properties of right triangles are as follows: Area of Right Triangle: The right angled triangle area can be measured by using the formula, Area =, where ‘x’ and ‘y’ can be considered as the two sides of the triangle. This formula is used only for right angle triangle. Height or Altitude of Right Triangle: If an altitude from the vertex of the right angle is drawn to the opposite side or the hypotenuse, then two triangles are formed and both the triangles formed are similar to one another and the main triangle. The pythagoras theorem states that, if ‘h’ be the hypotenuse and ‘x’ and ‘y’ be the two sides of the triangle, then according to the pythagoras theorem, it is stated that. So, according to the formula, hypotenuse’s square is equal to the sum of the square of other two sides of the triangle. Radius of Incircle and Circumcircle of Right Angled Triangle: According to this property, the radius of the incircle of the triangle can be found using the formula r =, where ‘x’ and ‘y’ are the two sides of a triangle and 'h' is the hypotenuse."

"text": "\"The History of Pi David Wilson History of Mathematics Rutgers, Spring 2000Throughout the history of mathematics, one of the most enduring challenges has been the calculation of the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter, which has come to be known by the Greek letter pi . From ancient Babylonia to the Middle Ages in Europe to the present day of supercomputers, mathematicians have been striving to calculate the mysterious number. They have searched for exact fractions, formulas, and, more recently, patterns in the long string of numbers starting with 3.14159 2653..., which is generally shortened to 3.14. William L. Schaaf once said, \"\"Probably no symbol in mathematics has evoked as much mystery, romanticism, misconception and human interest as the number pi\"\" (Blatner, 1). We will probably never know who first discovered that the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter is constant, nor will we ever know who first tried to calculate this ratio. The people who initiated the hunt for pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians, nearly 4000 years ago. It is not clear how they found their approximation for pi, but one source (Beckman) makes the claim that they simply made a big circle, and then measured the circumference and diameter with a piece of rope. They used this method to find that pi was slightly greater than 3, and came up with the value 3 1/8 or 3.125 (Beckmann, 11). However, this theory is probably a fantasy based on a misinterpretation of the Greek word \"\"Harpedonaptae,\"\" which Democritus once mentioned in a letter to a colleague. The word literally means \"\"rope-stretchers\"\" or \"\"rope-fasteners.\"\""

Ice storms tend to miss Salem as it is away from the Gorge, a major channel of weather that produces these conditions. Summer can be slightly hotter, but not significant. Winters are almost exactly the same, with the exception of the ice storms (above). Rainfall is also quite similar.

Portions of the township were taken to form Hope Township (April 8, 1839) and Blairstown Township (April 14, 1845). [ 20]Knowlton's name is variously attributed to Thomas Knowlton, a Colonel in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War who was killed in action at the Battle of Harlem Heights, [22] or to the knolls that characterize the area. [ 23] The township is served by postal ZIP codes in Columbia (07832) and Delaware (07833), although a small number of Knowlton residents receive postal deliveries via the Blairstown (07825) post office. Within the township are several small hamlets, including Browning, Deckers Ferry, Mount Pleasant, Polkville, Ramseyburg, Warrington and Knowlton itself. ["

The greater Portland area includes Vancouver, Washington across the Columbia River.

I would agree that this what most people in the greater Portland area consider to be the Willamette Valley. On the North Coast, however, \"\"The Valley\"\" commonly refers to anything between the Coast Range and the Cascades. People are as likely to say \"\"I'm going into the Valley today\"\" as to say \"\"I'm going to Portland today\"\". Since I'm originally from the Portland area it took me awhile to get used to this vernacular. I'm guessing that there are probably other local definitions of where the Willamette Valley begins and ends.05-08-2008, 06:30 PMtablemtn 5,762 posts, read 9,735,245 times Reputation: 3793I've always thought of the Willamette Valley as extending from the Columbia River down to Spencer Butte, which is the prominent hill directly south of Eugene. Spencer Butte seems like a suitable natural landmark to highlight the southern end of the valley, although there is a southeastern \"\"spur\"\" of the valley which extends along I-5 through Creswell and Cottage Grove, and another spur which goes out to Lookout Point Lake. Here is a topographical map of the area, so you can see what I mean."

Cities These are the cities with the most coffee shops per person Written by Joshua Crespo on September 28, 2016September 29th is National Coffee Day and to celebrate we found the ultimate cities for coffee lovers! Whether you have a favorite national chain, or indie cafes are more your style, these will get you the caffeine buzz you crave. What’s better than a holiday dedicated to your morning fix? How about a holiday dedicated to your morning fix and FREE COFFEE. Make sure to keep an eye out in your neighborhood during this java-filled holiday, many coffee shops will be handing out delicious deals. To identify these coffee capitals, we looked at the 100 largest cities that Walk Score and Redfin serve and found the top 10 with the most coffee shops per capita. We then stirred through the data to see how many of these coffee shops in each city are indie cafes versus large chains. ( We defined large coffee chains as those with 30 or more retail locations.) We then tracked down the ZIP code with the most coffee shops per capita in each city and calculated their median home price. Just for fun, we calculated how many lattes it would take to buy a home in that ZIP (using $4 as the average latte price)."

In fact, humans have been using dandelions in food for much of recorded history. Dandelion is used for the treatment of muscle aches, loss of appetite, upset stomach, intestinal gas, gallstones, joint pain, eczema and bruises. It also increases urine production and serves as a laxative to increase bowel movements. Some people use dandelion to treat infection, especially viral infections and even cancer. It’s also used as a skin toner, blood tonic and digestive tonic. Dandelion greens can be chopped up and used as a garnish or an addition to a sauce, or they can be eaten raw or cooked to minimize their somewhat bitter flavor. You can also use the dandelion root, stems and flowers to make a delicious and super-healthy tea. Either way, you reap the benefits of this unexpected nutritional plant.

They wonder if low-carb foods will still be enjoyable. Rest assured that when following a healthy low-carb diet, it’s still possible to keep enjoying all sorts of awesome recipes. Low-carb recipes include everything from slow cooker chicken and veggies to grass-fed burgers. And what about low-carb breakfasts or travel-friendly snacks? These can include green smoothies or protein shakes, low-carb desserts made from things like coconut or almond flour, 1–2 cage-free hard-boiled eggs, or newer varieties of grass-fed beef jerky, for example. While eating a low carbohydrate diet might not be the “magic bullet” to lasting weight loss for every person, it’s very helpful for most people to cut back on added sources of sugar and carbs. Even if you only plan to reduce your sugar and carb intake for a period of time, perhaps to break a sugar addiction or kickstart a healthier way of eating that includes less processed foods, you’re likely to experience benefits relatively fast. Removing foods such as bread, cereals, sweetened drinks, processed dairy and even whole grains or starchy veggies from your diet are important dietary changes that will result in your body releasing less insulin. This helps to balance blood sugar levels, reduce cravings and fatigue, speed up weight loss, leave you feeling more clear-headed (at least after you initially get used to the change) and even reduces your risk for things like heart disease and diabetes."

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

It was prized in ancient Greece for its medicinal properties. Today, spearmint makes an appearance in a variety of dishes, such as candies and salads, and also makes for aesthetically pleasing tea. Drinking spearmint tea offers a number of health benefits and can provide some essential nutrients -- but it also carries some possible health risks. Preventing Genetic Mutations Spearmint tea may offer protection against genetic mutations -- abnormal changes in your DNA that can disrupt normal cell function, cause tissue damage and contribute to chronic diseases, such as cancer. A test tube study, published in \"\"Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis\"\" in 2004, found that spearmint tea reduced genetic mutations, and also helped fight the formation of carcinogens, or cancer-causing compounds. While the role of spearmint tea in fighting mutations in humans needs further investigation, adding the tea to your diet might offer benefits. Hormone Regulation Spearmint tea also has an effect on your hormone levels, and can prove helpful for people suffering from some types of hormone imbalances. One study, published in \"\"Phytotherapy Research\"\" in 2010, found that spearmint tea helped to reduce the overactivity of androgens, a type of sex hormone, in women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome. Spearmint tea also helps treat mild hirsutism -- excess hair growth often caused by androgens -- reports a study published in the May 2007 issue of \"\"Phytotherapy Research. \"\""

Cilantro, also called coriander, is an especially flavorful herb commonly added to Mexican, Chinese and Thai dishes. Its leaves are usually eaten raw as part of salads, salsas, stir-fries and soups, while its seeds are typically dried and ground into a pungent spice. Like all plant foods, cilantro contains fiber, which promotes healthy digestion. Cilantro also displays a variety of properties that may help prevent gastrointestinal infections, inflammation, bloating and heartburn. Source of Fiber Cilantro leaves are a fair source of fiber, similar to other herbs, but not as good as more fibrous leafy greens such as spinach. More specifically, 100 grams of raw cilantro leaves -- a little less than half a cup -- contain approximately 3 grams of dietary fiber and 92 grams of water. That’s not a lot of fiber -- daily recommendations are at least 25 grams for adults -- but every little bit helps to promote digestion by stimulating intestinal contractions and regular bowel movements."

Each fruit contains a large number of tiny, edible seeds at the center. Guavas are very good simply sliced for a snack or added to salads. In other areas of the world, guava is popular as a thick, rich paste made into cheese. Fresh guava juice is common in Hawaii. In Fiji, guavas are used to make tasty jelly.

June 13, 2013Consuming natural foods, along with cutting out salt, will have you eating well and avoiding heart disease High blood pressure, also known as \"\"the silent killer,\"\" is an epidemic in our nation. It typically has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people don't realize they have it, which is why we must all get it checked regularly. Over time, unaddressed elevated blood pressure can have disastrous consequences including stroke, heart attack, blindness and kidney failure. Every 39 seconds, someone in this country dies of cardiovascular disease. And despite the fact that the largest risk factor in these deaths — high blood pressure — is both preventable and reversible, as many as 67 million American adults live with high blood pressure, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Alarmingly, 47 percent of those with a diagnosis have not gotten their blood pressure under control, according to government research. And many of those afflicted don't adhere to recommended medication regimens because of the drugs' side effects. Medications are highly effective in bringing down blood pressure, when taken properly. But what you eat (and drink) also has a dramatic impact."

"text": "\"Why are You Swallowing Heavy Metals Daily in What You Eat?by www. Six Wise.com Metals are a natural part of your environment and, often, your food supply as well. This is a good thing, in part, because many of these metals, such as iron and copper, are essential for optimal health when consumed in small quantities. Chowing down on shellfish, seafood, and other popular foods could be leaving you with excess levels of copper, mercury and other heavy metals in your body. However, when large amounts of metals (or even small amounts of toxic metals) are consumed, it can lead to short-term poisoning and, in the long-term, chronic illness. Further, some heavy metals, such as mercury, are toxic and have no place in your food supply at all -- yet are showing up at high levels in popular foods. What are the Risks of Consuming Too Many Heavy Metals? There are two types of metal toxicity: acute and chronic. Symptoms of acute toxicity are easy to recognize because they are usually quick and severe in onset. The symptoms include: Cramping, nausea, and vomiting Pain Sweating Headaches Difficulty breathing Impaired cognitive, motor, and language skills Mania Convulsions Chronic exposure, which is what typically occurs from dietary sources, produces different symptoms, which can be easily confused with symptoms of different illnesses."

This family comprises many other notable and good-for-health plants like celery, parsley, cumin, parsnip and of course carrot. Unlike the members of its family, coriander can be grown round the year and this makes the herb widely used all over the world. Its aroma and unique taste has led coriander to attain an important position in culinary usage. And considering the loads of medicinal properties offered by this herb, you would agree that coriander is nothing short of a wonder food. So, let’s look into some of the health benefits of coriander. Health Benefits of Coriander Although all parts of this plant are edible, coriander leaves and coriander seeds are used most prominently. The leaves, also known as cilantro, and the seeds have no resemblance to each other in flavor or taste but both pack in abundant health benefits.

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

S. Because of their nutritional composition, these economical foods have the potential to improve the diet quality and long-term health of those who consume beans regularly. The purpose of this publication is to provide evidence-based nutrition and health information about beans, preparation tips, sample recipes and references for further study. Julie Garden-Robinson, Ph. D., R. D., L. R. D. Food and Nutrition Specialist Krystle Mc Neal, R. D., Program Assistant B eans are among the most versatile and commonly eaten foods throughout the world, and many varieties are grown in the U. S. Because of their nutritional composition, these economical foods have the potential to improve the diet quality and long-term health of those who consume beans regularly [1, 2, 3]. The purpose of this publication is to provide evidence-based nutrition and health information about beans, preparation tips, sample recipes and references for further study. Nutrient-rich Beans Dry edible beans, such as pinto, navy, kidney, pink and black beans, are part of the legume family. A legume plant produces seeds in a pod; dry beans are the mature seeds within these pods. Other members of the legume family include lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts and soybeans [4]. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, dry edible beans are nutrient-rich foods; they contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients while providing a moderate amount of calories. Beans provide protein, fiber, folate, iron, potassium and magnesium while containing little or no total fat, trans-fat, sodium and cholesterol [5, 6]. Because of their high concentration of health-promoting nutrients, consuming more beans in the American diet could improve overall health and also decrease the risk of developing certain diseases, including heart disease, obesity and many types of cancers. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming 1.5 cups of beans per week to take advantage of these potential health benefits [7]. Fiber Booster Nutrition experts recommend that adults consume 25 to 38 grams (g) of dietary fiber per day (14 g per 1,000 calories); however, the majority of Americans do not reach this recommendation consistently [7]. Dietary fiber intake contributes to feelings of fullness or satiety and helps maintain functioning of the digestive system [7, 9]. Beans are a rich source of soluble and insoluble fiber. On average, beans provide 7 or more grams of total dietary fiber per ½-cup serving [6]. The consumption of fiber also has been associated with decreasing total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, as well decreasing the risk for developing coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and some gastrointestinal diseases [9, 10, 11, 12]. Full of Folate The B vitamin folate is found prominently in beans [13]. Folate, or its synthetic counterpart, folic acid, is essential for the production of red blood cells in the human body and development of an embryo’s nervous system during the early stages of pregnancy."

Perhaps you already met on a Saturday afternoon while watching The Food Network or on a Sunday morning at your local specialty food market? Sprouts and microgreens are often lumped into one food category. However, the difference between the two is determined by whether or not the seed is planted in soil and exactly how much of the plant is being consumed. Microgreens are cut off at soil level and are often 1-3 inches in length."

The Caremark Merger has positioned our Company to deliver significant benefits to (i) health plan sponsors through effective cost management solutions and innovative programs and (ii) consumers through expanded choice, improved access and more personalized services. The Caremark Merger has enabled us to achieve significant synergies from purchasing scale and operating efficiencies. The purchasing synergies include additional purchase discounts (including rebates obtained from pharmaceutical manufacturers) and cost efficiencies obtained from our national network of retail pharmacies. Operating synergies include cost savings resulting from productivity increases and other efficiencies obtained by eliminating duplicate facilities and excess capacity and combining complementary operations. We believe the Caremark Merger has also created significant incremental revenue opportunities for our Company through a variety of new programs and plan designs that benefit from our client relationships, our integrated information systems and the ability of our more than 25,000 pharmacists, nurse practitioners and physicians assistants to interact personally with the millions of consumers who shop our stores every day.

While stores like Rite Aid and CVS focus on selling over-the-counter goods, what is kept behind the pharmacy counter is a separate and incredibly lucrative line of business run by the PBM.

The move was estimated to cut $2 billion of revenue annually, something that seemed to be impossible to recover quickly. But CVS knew exactly what it was doing.

Updated to reflect additional information On August 5, the Securities and Exchange Commission finalized a mandate from the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law that requires companies to provide investors with a CEO-to-worker pay ratio. When the rule goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2017, shareholders will get a clear view of what corporate executives bring in each year compared to their rank-and-file employees. \"\" It's going to be ugly,\"\" said Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance and a professor at the University of Delaware. \"\" If it wasn't ugly, no one would object to it. \"\" Many of the figures already available on CEO-to-worker pay ratios are pretty shocking. Some experts believe that because it's so large, required disclosure may actually help rein in rising executive pay, according to The New York Times. According to executive compensation and governance data provider Equilar, median CEO pay for the S&P 500 hit $10.3 million and for the leaders of S&P 1500 companies reached $5.3 million in 2014. Meanwhile, median employee income for full-time wage and salary workers in the U. S. was $41,132. The Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, DC, estimated the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio among the largest 350 publicly-owned companies in the United States to be 303-to-1 in 2014."

"text": "CVS, Walgreens Drop Tamiflu Prices After AG Sends Nasty Letter12.1.095:50 PM EDT By Meg Marco@meghannprice gougingwalgreens cvsrichard blumenthaltamiflu ( stanrandom)Are CVS and Walgreens price gouging on liquid Tamiflu? The attorney general of Connecticut’s office says the AG, Richard Blumenthal, has “received information suggesting that some pharmacies have charged substantially increased out-of-pocket prices for Tamiflu, in some cases as high as $130 or more. He has also heard that some retailers may be purchasing capsules of higher-dosage Tamiflu from distributors and remarketing it as liquid-form lower dosages at greatly inflated prices. ”On Nov. 23, the AG’s office sent letters to CVS Caremark Corporation, Rite Aid Corporation and Walgreen Co. demanding information about their Tamiflu prices from before the flu outbreak. Mysteriously, USAToday is reporting that Walgreens has suddenly dropped its liquid Tamiflu prices by nearly 20% and CVS nearly 10%. The AG says:“I will aggressively pursue enforcement action against any company or individual exploiting the current H1N1 flu pandemic or the Tamiflu shortage through price-gouging or other abusive practices,” Blumenthal said. “Tamiflu price gouging gut punches families economically and medically. Price abuses threaten both public health and consumer pocketbooks as families struggle with economic hardship and inadequate insurance. Such conduct damages all consumers, but especially flu victims with no or limited prescription drug coverage, as well as children and others at higher risk. “Feverish full-throttle greed is the only explanation and no justification for such price abuses."

"text": "After separating from Prince Charles, Princess Diana famously said in a 1995 television interview that she wanted to be a “queen of people’s hearts.” Following her tragic death two years later, Tony Blair, who was Britain’s prime minister at the time, called her the “People’s Princess.” It was a name she certainly earned given all her charitable work, and in the ways she tried changing the British monarchy to connect better with the public. More than two decades after her death, her legacy still lives on. Here are the biggest reasons why Diana really was the “People’s Princess. ”Princess Diana bonded with the public in a unique way Diana was always there for her public. | Vincent Amalvy/AFP/Getty Images When she was alive, Diana was one of the only royals people felt they could actually relate to because she found ways to bond with the public.

The famous and beloved Princess Diana had a $55 million net worth before her tragic death 14 years ago in 1997. In addition to her net worth, she was famous all over the world both for her marriage to Prince Charles and her humanitarian work. Born Diana Spencer of the Spencer family (a very important British aristocratic family, closely tied to the Royal family for generations) in 1961, a name for the young Spencer was not chosen until a week after her birth because her parents had wanted a male heir to carry on the Spencer name. The tension regarding Diana's birth eventually led to her parents' separation at age 7. At age 20, Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales after a \"\"Fairytale Wedding\"\" with Prince Charles became a media frenzy. Diana wasn't exempt from feeling the pressure on that day, either, as evidenced by her accidental reversal of the order of her soon to be husband's first names during the wedding vows.

Kensington Palace revealed the royal baby's full name yesterday after days of speculation and close friends of Princess Diana immediately said the choice means the spirit of Prince William’s beloved mother ‘lives on’. The Duke of Cambridge was determined to pay tribute to his mother – despite the efforts of some palace courtiers to have Diana airbrushed from royal history. William was, however, clear that his baby girl should not have Diana as a first name. ‘ It would have been a millstone around her neck,’ said one of the princess’s long-time friends. Within minutes of the name being announced this afternoon, Diana's closest friend Rosa Monckton said: 'Diana's spirit lives on in her sons, and now her name lives on in her granddaughter #Charlotte Elizabeth Diana'.

And 4 Other Conspiracy Theories About Her Death By Jayne Mountford On 08/31/16 AT 8:49 AMPrincess Diana in Paris, November 1992 Photo: Getty Images Today marks the 19th anniversary of the death of one of the world’s most enigmatic figures, Diana, Princess of Wales: a woman her brother Charles referred to as “the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana. ”At the Help the Aged Golden Awards, Nov. 1995, Diana wore a suit in powder blue with gold buttons. Photo: JOHNNY EGGITT/AFP/Getty Images On Aug. 31, 1997, Diana died of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz S280, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene; the bodyguard of Diana and Dodi, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor. Diana's funeral was held September 6, 1997 Photo: Reuters An 18-month French judicial investigation found that the crash was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated. Whole nations of people found it hard to deal with the banality of the accident that ended her life and as a result, several conspiracy theories surrounding her death emerged. Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, promoted many of them. Here are four you might have heard and one you probably haven't. Diana Was Killed By MI6Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 officer, claimed in a sworn statement to the French inquiry in May 1999 that Britain's MI6 had been involved in the crash."

"text": "\"Press Release | Entertainment Press Release: Prince William's Darkest Secret - Diana and Kate's Royal Mistress Bloodlines Canadian genetics researcher Susan Maureen Brandt is continuing to release her findings into the real bloodline behind the lies in the British royal family, and its connection to incest in Hollywood, in hopes of creating public pressure demanding an end to ancient inbreeding. Here is a photo of Princess Diana's SECRET grandparents: http://www.wickedladycollectables.co.uk/blog2010/marina11.jpg Surprised? Princess Diana was supposed to be from the Spencer family, and only very distantly related to Prince Charles when she married him. But the man in this photo is Queen Elizabeth's uncle, Prince George, Duke of Kent. And the woman in this photo is George's wife, Marina, who was the first cousin of Prince Philip. So any children they had would be doubly related to any children of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth. Got that? To put it another way, when Queen Elizabeth married Prince Philip, they could chat about how HER uncle was married to HIS first cousin. ( They were also related to each other through Queen Victoria, so they were close cousins in a few ways, explaining why they almost looked a bit like brother and sister when they were young newlyweds.) The trick with doing this, marrying someone whose close relative is already married to a close relative of yours, is that your kids and their kids, IF THEY SHOULD MARRY, will only have half the usual number of grandparents or great-grandparents to hand over genetic variety to their kids."

She grew up at Park House in Norfolk, next door to the royal family's Sandringham manor. Diana had a fine connection with the royal family. Her grandmother, Lady Fermoy, was chief lady-in-waiting to the Queen for a long time. Diana's father, Viscount Althorp, was a descendant of the Stuart kings and had a direct relation with King Charles II. Her younger brother, Charles, was Queen Elizabeth's godson while her father was the lady Queen Mary's godson. She was related to many powerful people - closely and distantly. She married Prince Charles in 1981, and became \"\"Princess of Wales\"\". Lady Diana was a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School before her marriage to Prince Charles. It was amazing that a woman who lived just like any common girl became such an important part of the royal family and the monarchy."

She was born on Saturday in the Lindo Wing of London's St Mary's Hospital weighing 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg). The Queen and other senior royals were told of the baby's name before the announcement was made public. The BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt said that a Kensington Palace official, when asked about the couple's choice of name, said: \"\"We'll let the names speak for themselves. \"\" Why Charlotte? Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, has a long royal pedigree and became popular in the 18th Century when it was the name of George III's queen. The King bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a family home close to St James's Palace - it became known as the Queen's House and is now Buckingham Palace. Charles is the name of two former kings and of the Prince of Wales, the princess's grandfather. Charlotte also has more recent connections for the royal couple."

It starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor. While often regarded as campy and cheesy in hindsight, it's still somewhat of a Cult Classic. The movie-length pilot episode and first season aired on ABC, and were set during World War II. From the second season, the series moved to CBS, was retitled The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, and the setting moved to the present day (ie. The '70s ). Wonder Woman, being an ageless Amazon, hadn't aged a day, while Lyle Waggoner switched to playing the remarkably familiar-looking Steve Trevor Jr. An unrelated failed Pilot Movie was broadcast about a year earlier, in 1974, starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a non-powered Wonder Woman in a very loose adaptation (verging on In-Name-Only ). Even earlier, in the mid-1960s, William Dozier (who produced Batman and The Green Hornet) produced a five-minute Wonder Woman screen test which portrayed Diana as living with her mother."

"text": "The Pros and Cons of Capitalism Even though capitalism is the clear winner when in competition with other types of economies, capitalism has major disadvantages that are often overlooked. So, I think it would be a good idea to review both the advantages and disadvantages of capitalism. The Advantages of Capitalism Free Competition: Just by allowing any person or company to compete with any other person or company is a major freedom that should not be unnoticed. Decentralization: The decentralization of capitalism allows the economy to be much more dynamic to changes and competition, thus capitalism is much more stable than other alternatives. Self Regulation: By allowing buyers to buy want they want from who they want helps businesses to regulate themselves to the customers' changing needs. Innovation: In an effort to increase market share and profit, companies are more will to attempt innovation and fund research and development. Cost Cutting: Again to increase profit, companies often attempt to cut costs to increase revenue. Products and Services: Capitalism allows for a much wider range of products, prices, and quality for all goods and services. Thus, capitalism gives customers a wider choice. Equality: Any person or existing business can start a new business, assuming sufficient funds and resources."

While there are some obvious positives that can be taken from these contests and the crowds that they attract, there are also some notable negative factors that should be considered as well. To this day, these events are growing worldwide and the variety of contestants that participate and the affect that they have on society. It may just be a question of the pageants being a good outlet for the individual’s growth or just a shallow event that that promotes the wrong values. List of Pros of Beauty Pageants1. Qualities and Skills Are Tested One positive aspect of beauty pageants is the fact that one can really become good at public speaking and performing in front of large groups. When you get practice at being in front of people and keeping your cool, you will feel better about doing it and expressing yourself freely. This could be valuable training for a future career in music, broadcasting, and other jobs that require you to speak to groups of people with confidence. You can see your comfort level grow with experience and you can get a level of comfort that helps you grow as a person.2.

GST (Goods & Services Tax): Investment grade Gold (99.5%+ fine) and Silver (99.9%+ fine) bullion is not subject to GST. Bullion products of a lesser grade (for example 22k Gold coins like Sovereigns & Kruggerands or 92.5% sterling Silver coins) do attract GST when sold by a bullion dealer. You can avoid this additional premium by buying affected products privately where GST does not need to be charged. Numismatic coins are not considered 'investment grade' so will also attract GST even though they might have the required finesse. CGT (Capital Gains Tax): CGT is applicable on capital gains made from Gold and Silver. This from the ATO: A capital gain - or capital loss - is the difference between what it cost you to get an asset and what you received when you disposed of it. You pay tax on your capital gains. It's not a separate tax, just part of your income tax, although it is generally referred to as capital gains tax (CGT).

"text": "Pros and Cons of Pay Pal Working Capital Loans Written by: ezbob staff | February 24th, 2014 | Posted in Business Funding Tips, Business Lending Back in September, online payments giant Pay Pal launched a lending platform whereby small business owners could apply for capital in the form of Pay Pal loans. Dubbed Pay Pal Working Capital loans, funding can be approved in minutes and enables business owners to pay back the loans based on a fixed percentage of sales. Initially, the scheme was focused on US businesses, but recently Pay Pal revealed it is set to launch the small business loan program globally. Pay Pal working capital loans90,000 select merchants were offered the chance to participate in the program. Working Capital enabled them to take a loan of up to eight percent of their yearly revenue processed through Pay Pal, with loans limited to to $20,000. When rolled out on a global scale, the Working Capital program could offer loans of up to $40,000 (just under £24,000 at today’s exchange). Merchants would then be required to pay back the principal with deductions on daily receipts ranging from 10 to 30 percent. Paypal loans are unique in that a single flat fee charge is levied depending on the daily deduction amount, with no interest charged on the loans. Higher deductions come with a smaller flat fee, while advantages include almost instant funds transferred to Pay Pal accounts, no miscellaneous fees, and no deadlines to repaying the loans. While this may seem like a risky endeavour, in reality the risks are minimal as Pay Pal selects which merchants to offer the Paypal loans to."

"text": "\"US Economy Economic Theory Market Economy, Its Characteristics, Pros, Cons with Examples How the U. S. Constitution Protects America's Market Economy Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated March 27, 2018A market economy is a system where the laws of supply and demand direct the production of goods and services. Supply includes natural resources, capital, and labor. Demand includes purchases by consumers, businesses, and the government. Businesses sell their wares at the highest price consumers will pay. At the same time, shoppers look for the lowest prices for the goods and services they want. Workers bid their services at the highest possible wages that their skills allow. Employers seek to get the best employees at the lowest possible price. Capitalism requires a market economy to set prices and distribute goods and services. Socialism and communism need a command economy to create a central plan that guides economic decisions. Market economies evolve from traditional economies."

"text": "What Is the Fair Tax Act Explained – Pros and Cons By Holly Mangan Posted in: Economic Policy, Taxes Share 65 Tweet 88 Pin Comments 491After the first time trying to prepare and file personal taxes, most Americans learn the same lesson: The American tax system is complex and difficult to understand. Many people also feel that corporations, wealthy individuals and families, and special interest groups have unfair access to loopholes and exemptions that help them avoid paying their “fair share. ”One system that has gained a following in recent years is called the Fair Tax Plan. Simply put, this plan would replace the federal income tax system with a flat national sales tax. Proponents believe this initiative would eliminate loopholes, evenly spread the tax burden, and eliminate hassle without diminishing federal tax revenues. Opinions vary widely, however, and opponents contend that the Fair Tax Plan would require the middle class to pay the most in taxes, while the wealthy would enjoy an even lighter tax burden. To figure out where you stand on this high-profile issue, get the facts, weigh the pros and cons, and draw your own personal conclusions. What Is the Fair Tax Plan? The Fair Tax Act (HR 25, S 13) legislation proposes that the federal government stop collecting many different types of income tax, including: Personal income tax Social Security tax Medicare tax Capital gains tax Self-employment tax Estate tax Alternative minimum tax Instead, the government would generate tax revenue by instituting a national sales tax on most purchased items. Businesses would collect the tax at the point of sale and send the revenue to the federal government."

Sole Proprietorship A sole proprietorship is a business of one without corporation or limited liability status. The individual represents the company legally and fully.

"text": "A: The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is the most commonly used benchmark for determining the state of the overall economy. Many investors also use the S&P 500 as a benchmark for their individual portfolios. The central advantage of using the S&P 500 as a benchmark is the wide market breadth of the large-cap companies included in the index. The index can provide a broad view on the economic health of the United States. However, there are disadvantages to using the S&P 500 as a benchmark for individual portfolio performance. Most investors are widely diversified in assets other than stock, such as bonds, precious metals and cash, the values of which are not reflected in the S&P 500. The index contains only larger market cap companies from the United States. In contrast, investors may own small-cap or foreign companies in their portfolios. Using the S&P 500 as a benchmark may be an inaccurate measure of portfolio return for individual investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average used to be the main gauge of economic health for the United States, but that index only contains 30 companies and is limited in the sectors it represents."

Prior to the Fed, there were over 30,000 currencies in the USA. The Federal Reserve made a singular currency valid throughout the country. Next, the Fed protects small banks.

"text": "\"Some of the largest and most powerful companies in the world were created by raising capital in the public markets. Oil companies, utilities, food and beverage, and technology companies have all accessed the public market to fund their day-to-day operations and grow their businesses. By selling all or part of a business in a public offering, companies that go public receive an immediate influx of capital. While this might appeal to some companies, others understand that public ownership comes at a price. By choosing to stay private, they do not have to report to a large group of shareholders and are able to keep their business plans and finances private. Going Public Startups typically become established as private entities using capital from the owners or outside investors, cash generated from the business and bank loans. When the company's growth or survival requires more capital than those sources can offer, it may decide to sell all or part of the business through offering its stock to the public. By doing so, companies become subject to greater scrutiny by regulators and shareholders. Companies may be willing to sacrifice control and privacy to access large amounts of capital they might otherwise not be able to obtain. They can use publicly traded stock as a form of currency for purposes that would normally require large amounts of cash, such as purchasing other companies or compensating officers."

Whether you’re thinking about working at a big tech company or just are interested about the inner cultures of places like Amazon and Microsoft, there’s a website similar to Yelp that provides an inside look at some of the biggest corporations in the country. Glassdoor hosts a load of information on job compensation and company reviews. One of the more interesting parts about the site are the company reviews written by employees and they certainly say a lot about company culture. Here are some examples of what employees think about working at Amazon and Microsoft, two of the biggest corporations in Seattle. Note that Jeff Bezos has an 87 percent approval rating, while Steve Ballmer has just a 46 percent approval rating ( that’s up from 29 percent one year ago ). You can see all of reviews for Amazon and Microsoft at Glassdoor. AMAZONPros: “everybody is pushing for the same goals centered on the customer (big difference with Microsoft).

Back to Top Plant cells are eukaryotic cells i.e., the DNA in a plant cell is enclosed within the nucleus. The most important distinctive structure of plant cell is the presence of the cell wall outside the cell membrane. It forms the outer lining of the cell. The cell wall mostly constitutes of cellulose and its main function is providing support and rigidity. Plants cells also contain many membrane bound cellular structures. These organelles carry out specific functions necessary for survival and normal operation of the cells."

What structures does an animal cell have that a plant cell does not have? The Plasma Membrane Like prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane ( [link]) made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that separates the internal contents of the cell from its surrounding environment. A phospholipid is a lipid molecule composed of two fatty acid chains, a glycerol backbone, and a phosphate group. The plasma membrane regulates the passage of some substances, such as organic molecules, ions, and water, preventing the passage of some to maintain internal conditions, while actively bringing in or removing others. Other compounds move passively across the membrane."

All living cells in multicellular organisms contain an internal cytoplasmic compartment, and a nucleus within the cytoplasm. Cytosol, the jelly-like substance within the cell, provides the fluid medium necessary for biochemical reactions. Eukaryotic cells, including all animal cells, also contain various cellular organelles. An organelle (“little organ”) is one of several different types of membrane-enclosed bodies in the cell, each performing a unique function. Just as the various bodily organs work together in harmony to perform all of a human’s functions, the many different cellular organelles work together to keep the cell healthy and performing all of its important functions. The organelles and cytosol, taken together, compose the cell’s cytoplasm. The nucleus is a cell’s central organelle, which contains the cell’s DNA ( [link] ). Prototypical Human Cell While this image is not indicative of any one particular human cell, it is a prototypical example of a cell containing the primary organelles and internal structures.

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What are three unique characteristics of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The three characteristics are: + size + structure + function Prokaryotic cells are small, primitive, basic and unicellular. They do not contain any membrane-bound organelles (such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc) and do not have a distinct nucleus (ie: no nuclear membrane - so the DNA is floating around in the cytoplasm). When DNA is floating around in the cytoplasm, it is called a nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells also contain DNA molecules called plasmids, which are transferred between prokaryotes during a process known as conjugation. The functions for prokaryotes are simple and not complex, as they divide and multiply by binary fission only. Prokaryotes are often called autotrophs because they get their energy from the environment (ie: photosynthesis). Don't forget, prokaryotes also have a cell wall made from peptidoglycan. Eukaryotic cells are large, advanced and multicellular. They do contain membrane-bound organelles (plants contain a large vacuole and chloroplasts) and do have a distinct nucleus (the nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane and the DNA is therefore cut off from the cytoplasm)."

The cytoplasm has two parts, the organelles and the cytosol, a grayish gel-like liquid that fills the interior of the cell. The cytosol provides a home for the nucleus and organelles as well as a location for protein synthesis and other fundamental chemical reactions. Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is a protein structure that maintains cell shape and helps move organelles around the cell. There are two types of cytoskeleton proteins: microtubules and microfilaments . Microtubules are thick, hollow rods that provide a strong scaffold for the cell. The smaller microfilaments are thin rods made of a protein called actin; they are strung around the perimeter of the cell to help it withstand strain. In some organisms, the microtubules power limbs called cilia and flagella, creating movement. Contraction of the microfilaments powers muscle movement in animals and facilitates the creeping motion of creatures like amoebas. The microtubules also form protein tracks on which organelles can slide around the cell."

Unlike the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum or ER, these membranes are not connected. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the processing and packaging of protein and lipids, as well as processing proteins for secretion. The Golgi apparatus is often thought of as a post office; through the process of protein glycosylation, sugars are added to the protein which dictate to where the protein should travel.

The original Pure Food and Drug Act was amended in 1912, 1913, and 1923. A greater extension of its scope took place in 1933. The muckrakers had successfully heightened public awareness of safety issues stemming from careless food preparation procedures and the increasing incidence of drug addiction from patent medicines, both accidental and conscious. Scientific support came from Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the Department of Agriculture`s chief chemist, who published his findings on the widespread use of harmful preservatives in the meat-packing industry. The experience of American soldiers with so-called “embalmed beef\"\" during the Spanish-American War added impetus to the movement. President Theodore Roosevelt began the process by ensuring the passage of the Meat Inspection Act of 1906, which was followed by the Pure Food and Drug Act, passed in 1906 to become effective at the start of 1907.

Where diners once found a sugar bowl, they’re now more likely to find a multicolored collection of single-serving chemicals. One compound blazed a trail for other artificial sweeteners: saccharin. Three hundred times sweeter than sugar, with no apparent side effects, it was touted to consumers as the gateway to a world of sweetness without consequences. Over time the saccharin story grew more complicated; while the substance remained unchanged, perceptions of it have undergone almost alchemical shifts. In its 130-year history saccharin has been a laboratory accident, a wonder drug, a dangerous carcinogen, and a consumer cause célèbre.

Pet owners can choose from more than 3,000 different pet food products, including the dry, canned, and semi-moist types, as well as snacks such as biscuits, kibbles, and treats. In the 1990s, this $8-billion industry feeds America's 52 million dogs and 63 million cats. Commercially produced pet food has its origins in a dry, biscuit-style dog food developed in England in 1860. Shortly afterwards, manufacturers produced more sophisticated formulas, which included nutrients considered essential for dogs at the time. At the beginning of the 20th century, pre-packaged pet foods were also available in the U. S. Initially they consisted primarily of dry cereals, but after World War I, dog food made of canned horse meat was available. The 1930s ushered in canned cat food and a dry, meatmeal type of dog food. Some innovations by the 1960s were dry cat food, dry expandedtype dog food, and semi-moist pet food."

"text": "\"Pure Food and Drug Act (1906)Daniel P. Carpenter Excerpt from the Pure Food and Drug Act An Act —For preventing the manufacture, sale, or transportation of adulterated or misbranded or poisonous or deleterious foods, drugs, medicines, and liquors, and for regulating traffic therein, and for other purposes. That the introduction into any State or Territory or the District of Columbia ... of any article of food or drugs which is adulterated or misbranded, within the meaning of this Act, is hereby prohibited?. [ Section 2]That the examinations of specimens of foods and drugs shall be made in the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, or under the direction and supervision of such Bureau, for the purpose of determining from such examinations whether such articles are adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of this Act.... [Section 4]I t would not stretch matters to say that the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 (P. L. 59-384, 34 Stat. 768), also known as the Wiley Act, stands as the most consequential regulatory statute in the history of the United States. The act not only gave unprecedented new regulatory powers to the federal government, it also empowered a bureau that evolved into today's Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ). The legacy of the 1906 act includes federal regulatory authority over one-quarter of gross domestic product, and includes market gatekeeping power over human and animal drugs, foods and preservatives, medical devices, biologics and vaccines. Other statutes (such as the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the Sherman and Clayton antitrust laws, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914) have received more study, but the Pure Food and Drug Act has had the longest-lasting and most widespread economic, political, and institutional impact. BACKGROUNDThe passage of regulatory legislation came only after two decades of wrangling and congressional opposition to federal regulation of food and drugs. Three political forces converged to force food and drug regulation onto the congressional agenda. First, consumer movements dominated by highly organized women activists put pressure on legislators to satisfy public wishes."

The term “natural” is applied to many foods, but does not have a consistent meaning. Natural foods and all natural foods are widely used terms in food labeling and marketing with a variety of definitions, most of which are vague. The term is often assumed to imply foods that are not processed and whose ingredients are all natural products (in the chemist's sense of that term), thus conveying an appeal to nature. But the lack of standards in most jurisdictions means that the term assures nothing. In some countries, the term \"\"natural\"\" is defined and enforced.

A Must-Read by Former FDA Special Agent Gary Collins Posted August 21, 2013 by Gary Collins, MSAll supplement product references in comments will now be X’d out, as too many idiots are trying to promote their products this way. You have to love product troll’s, get a life and real job for that matter!Also please do not send me questions asking if the supplements you regularly use are any good or not. There are thousands of supplement manufacturers, so honestly most of the time I have no idea if supplement X that I have never heard of before is good or not. In today’s difficult economy, everyday folks seeking a health-and-energy boost may be hesitant to purchase “expensive” vitamins and supplements from “upscale” stores and distribution outlets. Instead, honest folks turn to Internet sites such as Amazon and e Bay to purchase vitamins on the cheap for themselves and their kids. I urge you, don’t do this! ( emphasis added)As a former special agent and forensic investigator for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), my heart breaks for hardworking moms and dads trying to do right by their family by buying inexpensive supplements. Little do they know that these “bargain” vitamins and capsules are worthless at best, and at worst may cost them and their children their health, and possibly their lives. The fact is, it costs money to make quality dietary supplements such as vitamins, protein powders, fish oil capsules, energy bars, herbal blends, or sports nutrition products."

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws developed the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act in 1934 due to the lack of restrictions in the Harrison Act of 1914. The act was a revenue-producing act and, while it provided penalties for violations, it did not give authority to the states to exercise police power regarding either seizure of drugs used in illicit trade or punishment of those responsible. [ 1]Harry J. Anslinger, head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, campaigned and lobbied for passage of the Uniform State Narcotic Act [2] and the Hearst newspaper media chain was an effective ally in his campaign for passage. [ 3] The draft of the act was submitted to the American Bar Association at its meeting in Washington in 1932, and it was officially approved by that body and sent to various states the following year. The purpose of the act was to make the law uniform in various states with respect to controlling the sale and use of narcotic drugs. [ 4] The Commissioners on Uniform State Laws intended to effectively safeguard and regulate narcotic drugs throughout all of the states. [ 1]Initially, only nine states adopted the uniform state statute. President Roosevelt supported adoption of the Act in many more states in a message on Columbia radio network in March 1935.

Food policy is the area of public policy concerning how food is produced, processed, distributed, and purchased. Food policies are designed to influence the operation of the food and agriculture system. This often includes decision-making around production and processing techniques, marketing, availability, utilization and consumption of food, in the interest of meeting or furthering social objectives. Food policy can be promulgated on any level, from local to global, and by a government agency, business, or organization. Food policymakers engage in activities such as regulation of food-related industries, establishing eligibility standards for food assistance programs for the poor, ensuring safety of the food supply, food labeling, and even the qualifications of a product to be considered organic. [ 1]Rice Most food policy is initiated at the domestic level for purposes of ensuring a safe and adequate food supply for the citizenry. [ 2] In a developing nation, there are three main objectives for food policy: to protect the poor from crises, to develop long-run markets that enhance efficient resource use, and to increase food production that will in turn promote an increase in income. [ 3]Food policy comprises the mechanisms by which food-related matters are addressed or administered by governments, including international bodies or networks, and by public institutions or private organizations.

Its main purpose was to ban foreign and interstate traffic in adulterated or mislabeled food and drug products, and it directed the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry to inspect products and refer offenders to prosecutors. It required that active ingredients be placed on the label of a drug’s packaging and that drugs could not fall below purity levels established by The United States Pharmacopeia or The National Formulary. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was an inspirational piece that kept the public's attention on the important issue of unsanitary meat processing plants that later formed the Pure Food and Drug Act.

"text": "\"1 Observable properties of matter The science of chemistry developed from observations made about the nature and behavior of different kinds of matter, which we refer to collectively as the properties of matter. The properties we refer to in this lesson are all macroscopic properties: those that can be observed in bulk matter. At the microscopic level, matter is of course characterized by its structure: the spatial arrangement of the individual atoms in a molecular unit or an extended solid. The study of matter begins with the study of its properties By observing a sample of matter and measuring its various properties, we gradually acquire enough information to characterize it; to distinguish it from other kinds of matter. This is the first step in the development of chemical science, in which interest is focussed on specific kinds of matter and the transformations between them. Extensive and intensive properties If you think about the various observable properties of matter, it will become apparent that these fall into two classes. Some properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the quantity of matter in the sample we are studying. Clearly, these properties, as important as they may be, cannot by themselves be used to characterize a kind of matter; to say that “water has a mass of 2 kg” is nonsense, although it may be quite true in a particular instance. Properties of this kind are called extensive properties of matter. This definition of the density illustrates an important general rule: the ratio of two extensive properties is always an intensive property."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Amedeo Avogadro In chemistry and physics, the Avogadro constant (named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro) is the number of constituent particles, usually atoms or molecules, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole. Thus, it is the proportionality factor that relates the molar mass of a substance to the mass of a sample. The Avogadro constant, often designated with the symbol N A or L, has the value 6.022 140 857 (74) × 10 23mol −1 [1] in the International System of Units (SI). [ 2] [3] (The parentheses there represent the degree of uncertainty . ) A much simpler definition is that Avogadro's constant is the conversion factor for converting grams to atomic mass units. Previous definitions of chemical quantity involved Avogadro's number, a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant, but defined differently: Avogadro's number was initially defined by Jean Baptiste Perrin as the number of atoms in one gram-molecule of atomic hydrogen, meaning one gram of hydrogen. This number is also known as Loschmidt constant in German literature. The constant was later redefined as the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12 ( 12 C), and still later generalized to relate amounts of a substance to their molecular weight. [ 4] For instance, to a first approximation, 1 gram of hydrogen element (H), having the atomic (mass) number 1, has 6.022 × 10 23 hydrogen atoms. Similarly, 12 grams of 12 C, with the mass number 12 (atomic number 6), has the same number of carbon atoms, 6.022 × 10 23."

The SI unit for amount of substance is the mole. It has the unit symbol mol. The proportionality constant is the inverse of the Avogadro constant. The mole is defined as the amount of substance that contains an equal number of elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 g of the isotope carbon-12. [ 1] This number is called Avogadro's number [2] and has the value 6.022 140 857 (74) × 10 23.

Creating a heterogeneous mixture from a pure substance sounds like a riddle that should be contemplated in the same mindset as the sound of one hand clapping. To some degree it is a semantic question based on how you define a mixture, but according to the most widespread definitions, it is possible to create a heterogeneous mixture with only one pure substance. Homogenous and Heterogeneous Mixtures A mixture is simply a combination of two or more different substances. It is a physical, rather than chemical, process and can be undone by physically separating the components. A homogenous mixture, also called a solution, is one in which the components of the mixture are evenly distributed throughout the mixture; for example, salt dissolved in water. By contrast, a heterogeneous mixture is one in which the distribution of components is unequal; for example, the oil and vinegar in a salad dressing. Pure substances tend to be homogenous. Mixing a Pure Substance The component substances of a mixture can differ in chemical composition, but they can also differ in their physical state. Matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, a gas or a plasma."

The way in which the sample is prepared and the instrument is programmed have the greatest influence on the accuracy and reproducibility of a melting point measurement. Subjective interpretation of the changes observed in the sample (visually and/or automatically) during the analysis can also lead to unreliable results. Background The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which the material changes from a solid to a liquid state. Pure crystalline substances have a clear, sharply defined melting point. During the melting process, all of the energy added to a substance is consumed as heat of fusion, and the temperature remains constant. A pure substance melts at a precisely defined temperature, characteristic of every crystalline substance and dependent only on pressure (though the pressure dependency is generally considered insignificant). Determining the MP is a simple and fast method used in many diverse areas of chemistry to obtain a first impression of the purity of a substance. This is because even small quantities of impurities change the melting point, or at least clearly enlarge its melting range. Melting point determinations are more than just a classroom exercise in the organic chemistry lab."

Answer by Peter Baum Confidence votes 5761 m L = 1 gram. The above is only approximately true and only for pure water at a specific temperature. The reference given below shows that the value is always slightly less than 1. Originally the gram was defined so that it was exactly equal to water at 4 degrees Centigrade but this changed when the gram was redefined to be equal to a standard prototype mass. Generally speaking, the question cannot be answered sensibly. A millilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information, such as the assumption that the mass in question is pure water at a specific temperature. As a simple mental exercise consider a millilitre of air and a millilitre of water. They will have very different masses.46 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "Abstract Background Thyroid hormones may influence risk of cancer through their role in cell differentiation, growth, and metabolism. One study of circulating thyroid hormones supports this hypothesis with respect to prostate cancer. We undertook a prospective analysis of thyroid hormones and prostate cancer risk in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study. Methods Within the ATBC Study, a randomized controlled trial of α-tocopherol and β-carotene supplements and cancer incidence in male smokers, 402 prostate cancer cases were sampled. Controls were matched 2∶1 to cases on age and date of blood collection. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of prostate cancer were estimated for quintiles of serum total and free thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and by categories of thyroid status. Results Men with serum higher TSH had a decreased risk of prostate cancer compared to men with lower TSH (Q5 vs. Q1–4: OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.51–0.97, p = 0.03 ). When the T4 and TSH measurements were combined to define men as hypothyroid, euthyroid or hyperthyroid, hypothyroid men had a lower risk of prostate cancer compared to euthyroid men (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.28–0.81, p = 0.006 ). We observed no association between hyperthyroid status and risk, although the number of hyperthyroid men with prostate cancer was small (n = 9). Conclusions In this prospective study of smokers, men with elevated TSH and those classified as being in a hypothyroid state were at decreased risk of prostate cancer."

HCPCS Medical Codes & Code Modifiers (HCPCS is commonly pronounced Hick-Picks.) Each year, in the United States, health care insurers process over 5 billion claims for payment. For Medicare and other health insurance programs to ensure that these claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner, standardized coding systems are essential. The HCPCS Level II Code Set is one of the standard code sets used for this purpose. The HCPCS is divided into two principal subsystems, referred to as level I and level II of the HCPCS. Level I of the HCPCS is comprised of CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), a numeric coding system maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA). The CPT is a uniform coding system consisting of descriptive terms and identifying codes that are used primarily to identify medical services and procedures furnished by physicians and other health care professionals. These health care professionals use the CPT to identify services and procedures for which they bill public or private health insurance programs. Decisions regarding the addition, deletion, or revision of CPT codes are made by the AMA."

Here's how it works: \"\"\"\"ROW ()-ROW ($A$8)+1\"\"\"\" computes the relative position of the row within the complete range of rows (first row = 1)\"\"\"\"MOD (ROW ()-ROW ($A$8)+1,5)\"\"\"\" computes the relative position of the row within a group of 5 rows (first row = 1)\"\"\"\" (INT ( (ROW ($A$1355)-ROW ($A$8)+1)/5)*5)\"\"\"\" computes the relative position of the last row in the last complete group of rows The IF condition determines if the current row is beyond the last complete group of rows. If that is true, we assign the alternate values of 3 and 4, using the CHOOSE function, based on the relative position of the row within a group of 5 rows. If that is not true, we assign the relative position of the row within a group of 5 rows. The three variables in this formula that you need to change, based on your own needs, are: $A$8 -- this should be a cell in the first row of the range of rows (this is used twice in the formula $A$1355 - this should be a cell in the last row of the range of rows 5 - this is the number of groups you want to divide the range into Also, change the list of values in the CHOOSE function (\"\"\"\"3,4,3,4\"\"\"\") to produce the special distribution needed for the final, incomplete group. This list will have one less value than the number of groups (5 - 1 = 4 values) Given my range of 1,348 rows (row 8 through 1355), I produced these results, with the special distribution of the last 3 rows into groups 3 and 4 only. Group Num Count 1 269 2 269 3 271 4 270 5 269 Grand Total 1348Answered Sorry! Something went wrong on our end. Please try again later. Bryan Watson3 years ago I should mention also that, if you want to group your data according to some value within each row, you can sort the range on that value/column, and then apply the formula to each row."

"text": "\"Model details Our view: 2014 Audi Q513 Photos1/13By David Thomas March 31, 2014Share Audi's Q5 moves into 2014 with a few upgrades to what was already a good all-around compact luxury SUV. A luxury car can overcome shortcomings by offering a high level of comfort, amenities, materials and performance, but the Q5 is on the higher side of the price equation for what you get. You can compare the 2013 and 2014 versions here. What you can get in 2014 is an all-new diesel variant called the Q5 TDI. It joins a pair of available gasoline engines, including a turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder. I tested both the TDI and the 3.0 for this review. Exterior & Styling The Q5 perfectly embodies Audi's current design theme in SUV form. The large grille looks more subtle on a higher-riding vehicle than it does on its sedan siblings. The headlights have also been updated, and most trim levels house standard LED running lights and xenon headlamps. Relatively little else has changed for 2014, but the Q5 looks perfectly modern and seems even less generic when you line it up next to the Acura RDX, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLK or Volvo XC60."

What percent of the offspring will be (p) if the parents are Pp x Pp a) 0.00 b) 0.25 c) 0.33 d) 0.50 e) 0.75How to solve it: Since the parents are each Pp, half their gametes in each instance will be P and half will be p. Set up a Punnett square and you will get a gametic ratio of 0.25PP: 0.50Pp: and 0.25pp. The only genotype among these that will be seen as (p) is the homozygous recessive which is 0.25, the correct answer. If you don't know how to set up a Punnett Square, what are you waiting for? Go to a review session and ask the TA for help. They'll show you how to do this.2.

Comparison chart Quality Assurance versus Quality Control comparison chart Quality Assurance Quality Control Definition QA is a set of activities for ensuring quality in the processes by which products are developed. QC is a set of activities for ensuring quality in products. The activities focus on identifying defects in the actual products produced. Focus on QA aims to prevent defects with a focus on the process used to make the product. It is a proactive quality process. QC aims to identify (and correct) defects in the finished product. Quality control, therefore, is a reactive process. Goal The goal of QA is to improve development and test processes so that defects do not arise when the product is being developed. The goal of QC is to identify defects after a product is developed and before it's released."

"text": "Chemists in the Field Benjamin Chambers Technical Maltster, Miller Coors Suzanne Golisz Research Chemist, Chevron All Chemist Profiles Overview Quality management activities are those that ensure that a company’s products are exactly what they are supposed to be, that is, they meet all their specifications. Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are two of the main activities that are required to ensure a quality product. QA and QC are closely related, but they are different concepts. QA is a set of activities that ensures that development and/or maintenance processes are adequate in order for a system to meet its objectives, whereas QC is a set of activities designed to evaluate the developed products. Another way to look at it would be to think of QA as preventing and detecting quality problems and QC as detecting errors in the product. Chemists who work in quality assurance enjoy finding ways to reduce the possibility of error in manufacturing methods by using a big-picture view of product quality. Typical Quality Assurance Duties Develop and validate methods for analyzing and producing products to ensure they meet specifications and document those methods in standard operating procedures (SOPs) and production records Audit quality control, production and sales functions, and other records to ensure compliance with SOPs Assist quality control staff with troubleshooting and resolving unusual problems Develop quality metrics and assess trends for product or process implications Develop and implement improvements to existing sample and data analysis techniques Critically evaluate current processes and continually identify ways to save time and money without sacrificing product quality Investigate product, and process deviations, identify root cause, and develop corrective and preventative actions Participate in audits by customers and regulatory agencies and respond to customer complaints Education Quality assurance auditor positions generally require a bachelor’s degree in a related field. For example, an auditor in a medical device company might have a degree in a life science, nursing, or pharmacy. Career advancement for quality assurance personnel with a bachelor’s degree is more likely than in other types of work, but an advanced degree is still an advantage—especially if supervisory work is desired. Workspace Quality assurance work is most often conducted in an office and involves a lot of documentation."

"text": "\"Share The Critical Link Between Requirements and Project Quality By: E. J. Smith The body of knowledge regarding quality management is vast. This article is intended to give the project manager, and other key project stakeholders, preliminary insights to the importance of Quality Management in its relationship with Project Management. Readers are encouraged to reference, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (4th ed., The Project Management Institute) for further information.__________________________________________________ The ability of a project manager to irrefutably demonstrate that a project has met product requirements is predicated on how well the product’s requirements were defined in the first place. __________________________________________________ Project Quality Management Overview Quality is defined as fitness for use and adherence to requirements. Both conditions must be met to achieve quality. Fitness for use is determined, ultimately, by the business customer. The project sponsor is responsible for determining what will satisfy the business, and commissioning the proper project to create it. However, even if a project completes on time, on budget and produces exactly what was requested (i.e., adheres to requirements), it will still be considered a failure if the business customer does not perceive value in what the project produced (i.e., fitness for use)."

Software QA/Testing Technical FAQs ( Continued from previous question...)What is API Testing? An API (Application Programming Interface) is a collection of software functions and procedures, called API calls, that can be executed by other software applications. Application developers code that links to existing APIs to make use of their functionality. This link is seamless and end-users of the application are generally unaware of using a separately developed API. During testing, a test harness-an application that links the API and methodically exercises its functionality-is constructed to simulate the use of the API by end-user applications. The interesting problems for testers are: 1. Ensuring that the test harness varies parameters of the API calls in ways that verify functionality and expose failures. This includes assigning common parameter values as well as exploring boundary conditions. 2."

"text": "\"What Is the Difference Between QA and Testing? April 07 10:002011by Nataliia Vasylyna Print This Article There are two basic breakdowns for the profession: Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing Quality Assurance (QA)QA tends to be focused on measuring and examining quality and improving the software through process improvements, thereby guiding the release to customers. Although testing activities usually do take place in this organization, the main focus of QA is on the processes and procedures of how software development activities take place. QA is more focused on managing the product life cycle and verifying that the software meets the defined quality standards or customer agreements. QA is less about breaking the software and finding problems than about verifying that it is possible to make the software work under a given set of conditions. Testing Testing, on the other hand, may keep an eye on the processes and often owns them, but is far more concerned with finding ways to break the software. Testers are to observe what the software does and to report on the level of quality as well as any serious issues they encounter. Testers must operate under the assumption that there are more bugs out there, and they have to find them. They operate in such a way that they expect to find problems, not just to verify that it is possible for everything to work fine. A good tester is one who is constantly thinking of things that have not been tried and is expected to exercise parts of the software that may be weak or that may not interact well."

In today’s article, we will learn with examples and graphs – Software test metrics and measurements and how to use these in software testing process. There is a famous statement: “We can’t control things which we can’t measure”. Here controlling the projects means, how a project manager/lead can identify the deviations from the test plan ASAP in order to react in the perfect time. Generation of test metrics based on the project needs is very much important to achieve the quality of the software being tested. What You Will Learn: [ show]What is Software Testing Metrics?

"text": "« Software Testing Life Cycle STLC Positive and Negative Testing In Software Testing »Difference between Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)This article initiated due to one of our reader “Pravallika Choudary” asked one question about “Difference between quality assurance and quality control”. As a part of software testing questions I am explaining about basic differences between QA and QC. If you want to ask a question, just write a comment below or on Facebook page Software Testing Class. So let’s start with the introduction of Quality Assurance and Quality Control: Quality Assurance (QA): The function of software quality that assures that the standards, processes, and procedures are appropriate for the project and are correctly implemented. Statistical Tools & Techniques can be applied in both Quality Assurance & Quality Control. When they are applied to processes (process inputs & operational parameters), they are called Statistical Process Control (SPC) & it becomes the part of Quality Assurance. Quality Control (QC): The function of software quality that checks that the project follows its standards, processes, and procedures, and that the project produces the required internal and external (deliverable) products. When statistical tools & techniques are applied to finished products (process outputs), they are called as Statistical Quality Control (SQC) & comes under Quality Control. Difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control: Quality Assurance Quality Control Quality Assurance is a part of quality management process which concentrate on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled Quality Control is a part of quality management process which concentrates on fulfilling the quality requirements. Quality Assurance is a set of activities for ensuring quality in the processes by which products are developed."

"text": "Construction and Start-Up Costs for Biomanufacturing Plants View PDF by Jean-Francois Denault Agnes Coquet Vincent Dodelet Friday, February 1, 2008 9:00 am All bioproducts heading to commercialization go through a rigorous process that includes research and development, proof of concept, and validation studies. Furthermore, the fabrication process of a biological product is very different from that of a classical (synthetic small-molecule) pharmaceutical. That’s not only because of specific characteristics and requirements of the molecular entities involved, but also environmental considerations and specific issues related to human health and safety. Such differences are reflected in the cost drivers of approved manufacturing plants. Herein we identify those cost drivers by examining real-life examples of biological products manufactured in Canada. Specifically, we contrast cost drivers of biopharmaceuticals and industrial bioproducts, especially with regard to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations. We examine a CGMP plant and two CGMP-compliant plants. The data are compared with those and an industrial bioproduct (bioethanol) for which there are no GMP requirements. Our analysis was preceded by in-depth interviews with consultants specialized in the building and validation of CGMP bioplants. Because the study was done in Canada, all costs presented here are in Canadian dollars."

"text": "QA activities ensure that the process is defined and appropriate. Methodology and standards development are examples of QA activities. A QA review would focus on the process elements of a project - e.g., are requirements being defined at the proper level of detail. In contrast, QC activities focus on finding defects in specific deliverables - e.g., are the defined requirements the right requirements. Testing is one example of a QC activity, but there are others such as inspections. Both QA and QC activities are generally required for successful software development. Controversy can arise around who should be responsible for QA and QC activities -- i.e., whether a group external to the project management structure should have responsibility for either QA or QC. The correct answer will vary depending on the situation, but Mosaic's experience suggests that: While line management should have the primary responsibility for implementing the appropriate QA, QC and testing activities on a project, an external QA function can provide valuable expertise and perspective. The amount of external QA/QC should be a function of the project risk and the process maturity of an organization. As organizations mature, management and staff will implement the proper QA and QC approaches as a matter of habit."

Posted 19 March 2004 - 10:43 AMHi Shelly, Interesting question. IMO positive release means ensuring that the product conforms with all elements of the specification before it is released to the customer. No doubt you carry out some quality assurance inspection and testing activities throughout various stages of your manufacturing process. But are the results of these tests reviewed by someone before releasing the product to the customer? I think this is one element of a positive release system. Much of the inspection and testing activities in for example packaging manufacture will be via sampling i.e. testing a sample of product at the beginning of a run and at set points through the run. And I'm not sure if you can positively release something without 100% inspection - in most cases this type of inspection is not feasible."

"text": "Difference between QA and QCPosted on October 13, 2011As we’ve talked in a previous post about the Definition of Quality, with these 2 terms exist the same “issue” where every single person/organization defines Quality Assurance ( QA) and Quality Control ( QC) in a bit different way. Also, many people including HHRR (Human Resources) and quality professionals do not know what QA and QC really means, and what the difference is between both terms. For those reasons, these concepts are often used interchangeably, and in some organizations one department performs the activities of both. The truth is that both terms have strong interdependence; QA relies mostly on the QC feedback and both work to deliver good quality products/services; but they are different processes. Next table shows the differences between them. QA vs. QCDefinition from ASQ.org Assurance: The act of giving confidence, the state of being certain or the act of making certain. QA: The planned and systematic activities implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled. Other definition QA is a failure prevention system that predicts almost everything about product safety, quality standards and legality that could possibly go wrong, and then takes steps to control and prevent flawed products or services from reaching the advanced stages of the supply chain. Definition from ASQ.org Control: An evaluation to indicate needed corrective responses; the act of guiding a process in which variability is attributable to a constant system of chance causes. QC: The observation techniques and activities used to fulfill requirements for quality."

"text": "\"Product/Service Spent Carbon Reactivation And Recycling Evoqua Water Technologies operates three regional state-of-the-art reactivation and recycling facilities to handle RCRA hazardous and non-hazardous liquid and vapor phase spent carbon. In recent years, a variety of market dynamics have driven the cost of virgin activated carbon upward. These cost increases, coupled with a greater desire for \"\"green\"\" processes that minimize waste and recycle raw materials, have driven many activated carbon users to reconsider a tried and true process: carbon reactivation. Carbon reactivation is the process of utilizing elevated temperatures followed by steam in a rotating kiln or multiple hearth furnace to remove organic compounds adsorbed onto the carbon during normal service use. Furthermore, reactivation destroys 99.99% of the removed organic contaminants through a combination of chemical reactions and oxidation in the reactivation plant’s afterburner. The reactivation process thus ends the liability associated with disposing and handling of the adsorbed contaminants, while restoring the surface area and pore volume of the spent carbon to near virgin-grade levels. The reactivation process recycles spent carbons into new activated carbon materials that continue to provide excellent performance in many treatment applications. Reactivation can be applied to carbons used in both liquid phase and vapor phase applications. Spent carbons can be segregated from other spent carbons and returned to the same customer for reuse, or pooled with other spent carbons and sold into other applications as a cost-effective alternative to virgin carbon. Evoqua has extensive experience with all of these types of reactivation services."

"text": "What language is R written in? On of the nice things about R is that a lot if it is written in the R language. That means, as an R user, if you want to see how R calculates a certain statistic, or you want to modify an existing function for your own use, you can just look at the R code by typing the name of the functions. Sometimes, though, you'll see just a couple of lines of R code even for quite complicated functions -- in these cases, the work is mostly being done in a lower-level programming language like C or Fortran via a call to . Internal or . Call. ( Of course, since R is open source, you can take a look at the C or Fortran code as well, if you like. ) So the natural question follows: how much of R is written in the R language? The librestats blog did an analysis of the latest R source code distribution, and found that 22% of the R's lines of code are in R. For comparison, about 50% of R is written in C, and just under 30% in Fortran -- for the current 2.13.1 release, at least. Of course, these ratios have changed over time with each release of R, as this analysis of the R codebase from Ohloh shows: Note that R's source distribution includes the language/graphics engine and only the base packages."

[ 5] Among the typological features of Egyptian that are typically Afroasiatic are its fusional morphology, nonconcatenative morphology, a series of emphatic consonants, a three-vowel system /a i u/, nominal feminine suffix * -at, nominal m-, adjectival * -ī and characteristic personal verbal affixes. [ 5] Of the other Afroasiatic branches, Egyptian shows its greatest affinities with Semitic and, to a lesser extent, Cushitic. [ 6]In Egyptian, the Proto-Afroasiatic voiced consonants */d z ð/ developed into pharyngeal ⟨ꜥ⟩ /ʕ/: ꜥr.t 'portal', Semitic dalt 'door'. ["

"text": "\"The Tolkienian Linguistics FAQand Frequently Needed Answers A compendium of answers to questions and issues concerning the study of the invented art-languages of J. R. R. Tolkien. Sections Purpose General Rules of Thumb Copyright Issues Questions for the Editor (Carl F. Hostetter)Purpose The purpose of this FAQ is to provide sorely needed answers, both to questions frequently asked and to questions that ought to be far more frequently asked and considered, concerning the study of the invented art-languages of J. R. R. Tolkien. In particular, this FAQ is intended to address facts concerning the nature of Tolkien's languages that are usually ignored and/or widely misunderstood by enthusiasts, due to the misrepresentation of same by a few influential, self-proclaimed \"\"experts\"\". Inconvenient though these facts may be for some, they are nonetheless inescapably true, and no scholar must ever fear, ignore, or misrepresent the truth. General Is it possible to speak Quenya and Sindarin? No. The vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of Tolkien's invented languages, even of Quenya and Sindarin, are far too incomplete to allow its casual, conversational, or quotidian use. As Tolkien himself stated, \"\"It should be obvious that if it is possible to compose fragments of verse in Quenya and Sindarin, those languages (and their relations one to another) must have reached a fairly high degree of organization — though of course, far from completeness, either in vocabulary, or in idiom\"\" ( Letters p. 380). ( What's more, it is plain that nearly every occasion upon which Tolkien set about to compose in one of his invented languages resulted in a flurry of new invention, reconsideration, and change; so that the fact that he could compose something at one time did not mean that either the result or its bases were fixed, either at that time or at any time thereafter.) Indeed, it was never Tolkien's intent to make Quenya, Sindarin, or any of his languages into spoken, written, auxiliary, or otherwise \"\"useful\"\" forms; rather, they were done for purely personal enjoyment."

What is it? How is it learned? How is it most effectively taught? The Commission on Reading of the National Council of Teachers of English has compiled the following overview of what the profession knows about reading, learning to read, and effective reading instruction and referenced some of the large body of research that has given rise to this view. It then outlines policies that promote learning to read. Reading and the Reading Process Reading is a complex and purposeful sociocultural, cognitive, and linguistic process in which readers simultaneously use their knowledge of spoken and written language, their knowledge of the topic of the text, and their knowledge of their culture to construct meaning with text. 1 Each of these types of knowledge impacts the sense that readers construct through print. Readers easily comprehend text with familiar language but are less successful at comprehending text with unfamiliar language. 2 Readers easily comprehend text on familiar topics but are less successful at comprehending texts on unfamiliar topics."

Originally developed by IBM [3] in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, FORTRAN came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics, crystallography and computational chemistry. It is a popular language for high-performance computing [4] and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.

Chronology mapping of Semitic languages The Semitic languages [2] [3] are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family originating in the Middle East. Semitic languages are spoken by more than 330 million people across much of Western Asia, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, as well as in often large expatriate communities in North America and Europe, with smaller communities in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The terminology was first used in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History, [4] who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis. The most widely spoken Semitic languages today are (numbers given are for native speakers only) Arabic (300 million), [5] Amharic (22 million), [6] Tigrinya (7 million), [7] Hebrew (~5 million native/ L1 speakers), [8] Tigre (~1.05 million), Aramaic (575,000 to 1 million largely Assyrian fluent speakers) [9] [10] [11] and Maltese (482,880 speakers). [ 12]Semitic languages occur in written form from a very early historical date, with East Semitic Akkadian and Eblaite texts (written in a script adapted from Sumerian cuneiform) appearing from the 30th century BCE and the 25th century BCE in Mesopotamia and the northern Levant respectively. The only earlier attested languages are Sumerian, Elamite (2800 BCE to 550 BCE) (both language isolates ), Egyptian and unclassified Lullubi from 30th century BCE. However, most scripts used to write Semitic languages are abjads – a type of alphabetic script that omits some or all of the vowels, which is feasible for these languages because the consonants in the Semitic languages are the primary carriers of meaning. Among them are the Ugaritic, Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, and South Arabian alphabets. The Ge'ez script, used initially in Yemen, and later also for writing the Semitic languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea, is technically an abugida – a modified abjad in which vowels are notated using diacritic marks added to the consonants at all times, in contrast with other Semitic languages which indicate diacritics based on need or for introductory purposes."

The script is used for other languages like Maithili, Meithei and Bishnupriya Manipuri, and has historically been used to write Sanskrit within Bengal. From a classificatory point of view, the Bengali script is an abugida, i.e. its vowel graphemes are mainly realised not as independent letters, but as diacritics attached to its consonant letters. It is written from left to right and lacks distinct letter cases. It is recognisable, as are other Brahmic scripts, by a distinctive horizontal line running along the tops of the letters that links them together which is known as মাত্রা matra."

Egyptian hieroglyphs ( / ˈ h aɪ r ə ˌ ɡ l ɪ f, - r oʊ -/ [2] [3]) were the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt. It combined logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements, with a total of some 1,000 distinct characters. [ 4] [5]Cursive hieroglyphs were used for religious literature on papyrus and wood. The later hieratic and demotic Egyptian scripts were derived from hieroglyphic writing; Meroitic was a late derivation from demotic. The use of hieroglyphic writing arose from proto-literate symbol systems in the Early Bronze Age, around the 32nd century BC ( Naqada III ), [1] with the first decipherable sentence written in the Egyptian language dating to the Second Dynasty (28th century BC)."

Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not these symbols constituted a script used to record a language, or even symbolise a writing system. [ 4] In spite of many attempts, [5] 'the script' has not yet been deciphered, but efforts are ongoing. There is no known bilingual inscription to help decipher the script, nor does the script show any significant changes over time. However, some of the syntax (if that is what it may be termed) varies depending upon location. [ 4]The first publication of a seal with Harappan symbols dates to 1875, in a drawing by Alexander Cunningham. [ 6] Since then, over 4,000 inscribed objects have been discovered, some as far afield as Mesopotamia. In the early 1970s, Iravatham Mahadevan published a corpus and concordance of Indus inscriptions listing 3,700 seals and 417 distinct signs in specific patterns. He also found that the average inscription contained five symbols, and the longest inscription contained only 14 symbols in a single line. [ 7] He also established the direction of writing as right to left. ["

By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, and therefore it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems, as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at Bell Labs, [6] and used to re-implement the Unix operating system. [ 7] It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time, [8] [9] with C compilers from various vendors available for the majority of existing computer architectures and operating systems. C has been standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) since 1989 (see ANSI C) and subsequently by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). C is an imperative procedural language. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. Despite its low-level capabilities, the language was designed to encourage cross-platform programming."

Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA (m RNA) molecules. Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small ribosomal subunits, which reads the RNA, and the large subunits, which joins amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. Each subunit is composed of one or more ribosomal RNA (r RNA) molecules and a variety of ribosomal proteins (r-protein or r Protein [2] [3] [4] ).

Go to: General Concepts Clinical Manifestations Adenoviruses cause acute respiratory disease (usually), pneumonia (occasionally), acute follicular conjunctivitis, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, cystitis, and gastroenteritis (occasionally). In infants, pharyngitis and pharyngeal-conjunctival fever are common. Structure The icosahedral capsid (70 to 100 nm) is made up of 252 capsomeres: 240 hexons forming the faces and 12 pentons at the vertices. Each penton bears a slender fiber. The double-stranded linear DNA is associated with two major core proteins and carries a 55-k Da protein covalently attached to its 5′ end. Classification and Antigenic Types More than 100 antigenic types of adenoviruses have been identified that infect mammals (mastadenoviruses) and birds (aviadenoviruses); 47 human adenovirus types are classified, 5 more candidate types are presently studied. Multiplication Infection may be productive, abortive, or latent. In productive infections, the viral genome is transcribed in the nucleus, m RNA is translated in the cytoplasm, and virions self-assemble in the nucleus. In latent infections and in transformed and tumor cells, viral DNA is integrated into the host genome."

Pool Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamcr.2013.02.021 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Abstract Co-translational protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), represents an evolutionary-conserved mechanism to target proteins into the secretory pathway. In this targeting pathway proteins possessing signal sequences are recognised at the ribosome by the signal recognition particle while they are still undergoing synthesis. This triggers their delivery to the ER protein translocation channel, where they are directly translocated into the ER. Here we review the current understanding of this translocation pathway and how molecular details obtained in the related bacterial system have provided insight into the mechanism of targeting and translocation. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Functional and structural diversity of endoplasmic reticulum. Highlights► SRP is able to detect signal sequences as they emerge from the ribosome. ► SRP retards translation to create a time window for ER targeting. ► SRP receptor transfers the ribosome nascent chain complex from SRP to the translocon. ► The Sec61 channel conveys the nascent chain from the ribosome directly into the ER lumen. ► Sec61 can also insert membrane proteins into the lipid bilayer."

Overview of operon control An operon consists of a group of related genes that are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule from a single promoter. The switch that controls the transcription of an operon is a segment of DNA called an operator, which is usually part of the promoter. An operon is regulated by a regulatory protein that is transcribed from a regulatory gene outside of the operon DNA. The regulatory protein can be an activator, which in its active form stimulates gene transcription, or a repressor, which switches off the operon."

This process requires all three classes of RNA. Although the chemistry of peptide bond formation is relatively simple, the processes leading to the ability to form a peptide bond are exceedingly complex. The template for correct addition of individual amino acids is the m RNA, yet both t RNAs and r RNAs are involved in the process. The t RNAs carry activated amino acids into the ribosome which is composed of r RNA and ribosomal proteins. The ribosome is associated with the m RNA ensuring correct access of activated t RNAs and containing the necessary enzymatic activities to catalyze peptide bond formation.back to the top Historical Perspectives Early genetic experiments demonstrated:1. The co-linearity between the DNA and protein encoded by the DNA. Yanofsky showed that the order of observed mutations in the E. coli tryptophan synthetase gene was the same as the corresponding amino acid changes in the protein.2. Crick and Brenner demonstrated, from a large series of double mutants of the bacteriophage T4, that the genetic code is read in a sequential manner starting from a fixed point in the gene, the code was most likely a triplet and that all 64 possible combinations of the 4 nucleotides code for amino acids, i.e. the code is degenerate since there are only 20 amino acids. The above mentioned experiments only indicated deductive correlation's regarding the genetic code."

The article below is more detailed. See also: the cell nucleus and DNARibosomes are factories that manufacture proteins for cells. They are small (diameter about 10 nm or 10 millionths of a millimetre)ribonucleoprotein enzymes. A ribonucleoprotein is a structure consisting of protein and RNA (ribonucleic acid). In prokaryotes, the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleoid is rich in risosomes (and is called the riboplasm) - in bacteria proteins that make up the ribosome are the most abundant proteins in the cytosol. In eukaryotes ribosomes can exist free in the cytosol or bound to endoplasmic reticulum (forming rough endoplasmic reticulum, or RER, so-called because the ribosomes stud its outer/cytosolic surface). The cytosol has a high gluathione concentration, which makes it a reducing environment, and so proteins with disulphide bridges (-S-S-) can not be made here (since the disulphide bridge would remain reduced to hydrogen sulphide groups (-SH + HS-). However, proteins containing one or more disulphide bridges can be manufactured in the RER. Proteins destined for the plasma membrane are also manufactured in the RER, so that they can be readily packaged into membrane-bound vesicles and enter the membrane-transport system."

"text": "\"Tweet Pin It Protein By Definition To know what is protein could be of great importance in order to understand how the cells function. Proteins are one of the three most important classes of large biological molecules – nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates. Protein consists of one or more than one chain of amino acid residues. To understand what is protein, one must know what is their structure, how they are synthesized, which are their primarily functions and particularly how they participate in the metabolism processes. The protein structure defines the protein primary function and determines the uniqueness of each protein. The specificity of the protein structure is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of corresponding genes which defines the actual amino acid sequence and composition. The order of amino acids and their interaction results in specific folding of the protein and determines a particular three-dimensional structure that defines its activity. Proteins have many different functions within living organisms on cellular, system and organism level – regulation of biological processes; molecular transport; catalyzing metabolic reactions; responding to stimuli and many others. What Is Protein Bio-polymer? The main building blocks of proteins are 20 L-α-amino acids."

One thing we can be certain about is that Guru Gobind Singh had abolished all caste inequality with the inception of Khalsa on 13 April, 1699 and with the institution of Khanday-Ki-Pahul or the Baptism of Sword. Faithful Sikhs do not practice caste discrimination but this is not to say that all Sikhs necessarily act in accordance to their faith. Consequently, the caste does exist in Sikhism , though in a diluted form than found in the rest of Indian society. But at the outset one thing can be confidently stated which is that there is no clearly defined caste hierarchy in Sikh society, leave alone a vertically ordered one."

"text": "Origin of Rajputs (Hindu Rajput, Rajput Community, Rajput Clan)Category: History of Ancient India On November 19, 2013 By Rajiv Singh Introduction The centuries that intervened between the death of Harsha and the Muhammadan conquest of India were marked by the ascendancy of the Rajputs and establishment of numerous powerful kingdoms by them in Northern India. This period has conveniently been termed as the `Rajput period’ of Indian history. The Rajputs filled the political canvas of India during this period. Origin of the Rajputs There is a keen controversy among scholars regarding the origin of the Rajputs. There is difference in the views of various scholars. In the absence of any definite theory on the origin of the Rajputs, we can merely discuss the salient views about it. Legends ascribe lofty origin to the Rajputs The Rajputs trace their origin to the legendary Solar and Lunar dynasties. Some of them claim to be lineal descendants of the Kshatriyas of Vedic fame. The word Rajaputra is mentioned in the Puranas. The term `Rajput’ seems to have been derived from the Sanskrit word Rajaputra."

Yale did not disclose the amount gifted by Nooyi but said her \"\"landmark gift\"\" to endow the deanship of the school and inaugurate an innovation fund has made her the \"\"most generous graduate\"\" of Yale School of Management in terms of lifetime giving to the school. She is also the first woman to endow the deanship at a top business school, the school said in a statement yesterday. The Pepsi Co chairman, who graduated from the school in 1980, credited her experience at the school for \"\"forever\"\" altering \"\"the course of my life\"\" and said her gift \"\"pales in comparison with the gift that Yale gave me the fundamental understanding that leadership requires an expansive worldview and a deep appreciation of the many points of intersection between business and society. \"\"\"\" Business issues are never just business issues, and my most ardent hope is that this endowment will teach future generations of leaders that the most successful companies of tomorrow will do more than make money,\"\" she said in a statement. \"\" They will make a difference and create shareholder value by improving the quality of life in every market in which they operate,\"\" she said. Nooyi joins several prominent persons of Indian-origin who have donated generously to US universities.

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture What Is Sati? Share Flipboard Email Print Heritage Images / Getty Imagesby Kallie Szczepanski Updated January 04, 2018Sati or suttee is the ancient Indian and Nepalese practice of burning a widow on her husband's funeral pyre or burying her alive in his grave. This practice is associated with Hindu traditions. The name is taken from the goddess Sati, wife of Shiva, who burned herself to protest her father's ill-treatment of her husband. The term \"\"sati\"\" can also apply to the widow who commits the act. The word \"\"sati\"\" comes from the feminine present participle of the Sanskrit word asti, meaning \"\"she is true/pure.\"\" While it has been most common in India and Nepal, examples have occurred in other traditions from as far afield as Russia, Vietnam, and Fiji. Seen as a Proper Finale to a Marriage According to custom, Hindu sati was supposed to be voluntary, and often it was seen as the proper finale to a marriage. It was considered to be the signature act of a dutiful wife, who would want to follow her husband into the afterlife. However, many accounts exist of women who were forced to go through with the rite."

"text": "Sushant Singh Rajput, Ankita’s marriage cancelled Posted By: Daliya Ghose On Friday, 28th February 2014,17:02Sushant Singh Rajput and Anita Lokhande are again in the news for their troubled relationship. It is reported that the Pavitra Rishta pair had a fall-out over Sushant’s growing relationship with his stylist. Sushant and Ankita who were in a live-in relationship and got engaged couple of months back cancelled their marriage. The duo was earlier keen to get hitched but now they are giving a second thought over the crucial decision. “We are in happy space today. I think marriage can happen anytime... It can be this year or next year,” Sushant had said, on being asked about their relationship, almost a year back. It was also once reported that Ankita Lokhande slapped boyfriend Sushant outside YRF studio when their relationship was going through a rough patch. Ever since Sushant debuted in Bollywood, the actor made news for his personal affair more than his work. It was also rumoured that the couple have had entered into matrimony in Ujjain last year before moving together. Close pals of Ankita and Sushant are very much aware of their marital status."

"text": "\"Print Reference this This essay has been submitted by a law student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Universalism And Cultural Relativism In Human Rights International Law Essay“Human Rights\"\" is a relatively new expression, having come into international law only after World War II and the establishment of United Nations. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948 is a milestone document in the history of human rights. And the debate, which arose along with the internationalization of human rights, is whether all human rights are universal, or there are certain rights and freedoms, which can be avoided for the cultural features. This essay examines the debate through the contradiction of concepts of Universalism and Cultural Relativism. International law, which actually has started developing with the first states, has been a subject of significant changes especially during the period between Westphalian peace treaty (1648) and World War I. Traditional international law is a law of power, that is the war is considered to be an important attribute of state sovereignty. One of the essential qualitative differences between traditional international law and contemporary international law is the prohibition of aggressive wars and the idea of international protection of human rights. In other words, contemporary international law takes the rights of man under its patronage. The international protection of human rights is a revolutionary idea and traditional disciplines of international law have nothing to do with it at all."

Apart from these two films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra is also being touted as one of biggest releases of this year.

Then there is Prem Ratan Dhan Payo as for which Dabangg Khan has joined hands his favourite director Sooraj Barjatya that too after 15 long years. And lastly we have Shoojit Sircar’s Piku in which Dippy will be seen sharing screen space for the first time with two acting stalwarts – Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan.

It is an integral part of all facets of life, incorporated into the everyday fabric of Indian society and richly imbued with a plethora of symbolic nuances. This phenomenon is most apparent perhaps in the traditional garments worn by the women of various communities across the Indian subcontinent, wherein the use of colour has historically served as a marker of social and cultural identity in this vast land peopled by many communities. In the Vedic period (2000 BC- 600 BC), particular colours came to be associated with specific castes (a system of social stratification based on hereditary occupation), a phenomenon evidenced by the use of the Sanskrit word varna (colour) to denote caste. Although the caste system no longer exists in India per se, clothing traditions in India often reflect historic caste-colour associations. White came to be associated with the purity and light and was reserved for the use of the highest castes, i.e. the Brahmins. However, exceptions to this norm may be seen in the western and southern regions of India where traditional Brahmin saris were often brightly coloured. Across India, white is extensively worn by men, although usually in a somewhat tinted form or with another colour as an embellishment. Pure white is usually worn only as a sign of mourning by men and women alike and accordingly, widows in north India traditionally wear white saris devoid of any coloured embellishment or patterning. Married women generally never wear any white coloured garments."

"text": "\"Sansi is a gypsy and nomadic caste of Sikhs, although Hindu Sansis also exist within and outside Punjab in sizable numbers. The caste claims origin from Bhati Rajputs from Rajputana who had taken to nomadic life after their defeat by Alla-ud-din Khilji in 1303 AD. Many of these Bhati Rajputs moved north into Punjab and the Sikh ruling houses of Jind, Faridkot and Patiala as well as the clan of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was a Sans i, traced their origin to these Bhati Rajputs. Bhati Rajputs were originally a Jadubansi Rajput tribe tracing origin to Lord Krishna's clan. One of the patriarchs from this group of Bhati Rajputs, who were expelled from Rajputana, was Sansmal or Sansi, son of one Padam Rath. His consanguineous followers came to be known as \"\"Sansis\"\". Their social status , however, vastly deteriorated in a matter of few centuries , owing to nomadic lifestyle. There is also a possibility that this group later assimilated with other gypsy groups of uncertain origin which would have almost certainly brought a loss of Rajput status. Over a period of time the group crystallized to form a new caste group synonymous with gypsies and nomads. Their main profession, it is said, had been reduced to hunting, robbery and petty theft ."

Nandita Advertisements: The Mughal Empire, which had reached its zenith during the rule of Shah Jahan and his son, began to decline after the rule of Aurangzeb. In fact, the decline began during the last days of Aurangzeb. There were many causes for the downfall of this great dynasty. Let us view the causes that hastened the fall of the Mughal Empire after Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb’s responsibility: Aurangzeb was largely responsible for the downfall of the empire. His predecessors did a lot to win over the loyalties of their subjects, particularly the Rajputs and the Hindus. But Aurangzeb was a fanatic and could not tolerate the non-Muslims. He imposed jazia and forbade the celebration of Hindu festivals. He thus lost the friendship and loyality of the Rajputs."

Different organizations have differing definitions for the size of a serving, but the general recommendations of how much you should eat over the course of a week are fairly well-established.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Typical Serving Size A typical serving size of fish can range from 3 to 6 oz, depending on the type of fish and its preparation. The American Heart Association considers 3.5 oz. of cooked fish, or about 3/4 cup, to be a single serving. A can of tuna contains about 5 oz. and lists 2 oz., or 1/4 cup, as an appropriate single serving size on the nutrition label.

That is because the kidneys regulate potassium. If they aren’t working correctly, the potassium may not be flushed out of the body properly. To minimize potassium buildup, a person with chronic kidney disease should stick to a low-potassium diet of between 1,500 and 2,000 milligrams (mg) per day. Limiting phosphorus, sodium, and fluids may also be important for people with kidney dysfunction. General rules General rules of thumb Torey Jones Armul, MS, RDN, CSSD, a national spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, offers a couple of rules of thumb: Avoid high-potassium foods like potatoes, bananas, whole grains, milk, and tomato products.

Muscle, hair, skin, and connective tissue are mainly made up of protein. Additionally, protein plays a major role in all of the cells and most of the fluids in our bodies. Many of your important chemicals like enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even DNA are at least partially made up of protein. Although the human body is good at “recycling” protein, you use up protein constantly, so it is important to continually replace it. Food Sources of Protein Protein is found in both plant and animal sources of food. Animal sources, such as beef, poultry, pork, fish, and wild game are high in protein. So are sausages, bacon, and deli meats. Major plant sources include nuts and seeds, with lesser amounts in grains.

The very word suggests lifestyles of the rich and famous, diamonds and Champagne. Not only is it pricey, there are serious ecological concerns about the survival of wild sturgeon due to pollution and over-fishing (the importation of caviar from the nearly endangered wild beluga sturgeon was banned in the U. S. in 2005). And then there's the carbon footprint issue of shipping anything from as far away as the Caspian Sea, where the most famous caviars hail. For all these reasons, many of us eat our blini (buckwheat pancakes) sans fish eggs these days, but if you shop carefully, you can find delicious domestic caviar that's sustainably raised and priced for people not in the tiara-and-top-hat set. Sustainable domestic choices According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program, an ocean watchdog group that monitors the best and worst choices for seafood eaters, farmed domestic white sturgeon caviar (raised in closed-system tank operations) is rated as a \"\"good alternative\"\" to wild imported caviar, and wild salmon roe is listed as a \"\"best choice\"\" for roe-lovers. Add sustainably farmed domestic trout and paddlefish, and carefully regulated freshwater whitefish roe, and there are plenty of choices for every budget and palate. In the U. S., the term caviar can be used only when the roe is harvested from sturgeon and paddlefish; all other fish eggs must be labeled as \"\"roe\"\" and indicate the species of the fish they came from. Farmed sturgeon caviar's fine beads, creamy, briny flavor and elegant dark grayish brown or black color makes it the most sought after of all fish roe, and you'll pay for the luxury: It runs from $74 to $150 an ounce, depending on the species and grade. \"\""

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial about Tuna Researchers have recently discovered that tuna contains the mineral selenium in an unusual form called selenoneine. This form of selenium plays an important role in the health of the fish by serving as an antioxidant and protecting the fish's red blood cells from free radical damage. Interestingly, it is also able to bind together with mercury compounds in the fish's body (including methyl mercury, or Me Hg) and lower their risk of mercury-related problems. Because there are approximately 2-3 milligrams of selenoneine in a 4-ounce serving of tuna, we are likely to get some of this same antioxidant protection when we eat tuna. Equally interesting, perhaps tuna will turn out to be a fish that—even when contaminated with mercury—might pose less of a mercury risk than might otherwise be expected due to the presence of selenoneine. There is some evidence to show that lower concentrations of both selenoneine and selenium itself may be present in fresh tuna that lacks its characteristic reddish color and is more watery and softer in texture at the time of purchase. However, further research is needed to determine exactly how the selenium content of tuna is related both to its appearance and also to its potential mercury risk. In a much-discussed recent study about fish intake and cardiovascular disease, researchers have uncovered a very interesting trend involving tuna. Over 15,000 U. S. men and women participated in this 15+ year study, and their intake of fish—including canned tuna, darker oily fish like salmon and sardines, lighter non-oily fish like cod, and shellfish like shrimp and lobster—was compared with their likelihood of experiencing a specific type of cardiovascular problem called atrial fibrillation (AF). In AF, electrical impulses within the heart become irregular."

"text": "\"Share Tweet Post Eating for Life Table of Contents Definition Origins Description Function Benefits Precautions Risks Research and general acceptance Resources Definition Eating for Life refers to a diet and nutrition plan that recommends eating six small, low-fat meals daily, popularized in the 2003 book Eating for Life, written by Bill Phillips. A person who follows the Eating for Life program consumes about 40–50% protein, 40–50% carbohydrates, and small amounts of fat. Meals should be consumed about two to three hours apart. The program can be used as a way to lose or maintain weight or to supplement a fitness or resistance training regimen. Origins The Eating for Life plan was developed by Bill Phillips, a bodybuilder, former editor-in-chief of Muscle Media magazine, and former chief executive officer of EAS, a performance supplement company owned by Abbott Laboratories. Prior to publishing Eating for Life in 2003, Phillips authored his first book, Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength, a New York Times bestseller. The Body-for-Life program began in the mid-1990s when Phillips first challenged dieters to make the best body transformation during a 12-week period, using the exercise and nutrition principles outlined in his now-defunct fitness magazine, Muscle Media. The first year of the challenge, Phillips offered his Lamborghini Diablo to the contestant who made the most radical transformation within 3 months. As of 2007, individuals and couples still compete for cash prizes and free exercise equipment in the annual Body-for-Life Challenge. Description Phillips, the author of Eating for Life, calls his program the “anti-diet,” claiming that enjoying food and eating often are the keys to healthy weight loss and maintenance."

Sterling banknotes are official currency in the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, British Antarctic Territory, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and Tristan da Cunha in St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. One pound is equivalent to 100 pence. Three British Overseas Territories also have currencies called pounds which are at par with the pound sterling. In most countries of the world the issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by a single central bank or government, but in the United Kingdom seven retail banks have the right to print their own banknotes in addition to the Bank of England; sterling banknote issue is thus not automatically tied in with one national identity or the activity of the state. The arrangements in the UK are unusual, but comparable systems are used in Hong Kong and Macao, where three and two banks respectively issue their own banknotes in addition to their respective governments. The Bank of England does act as a central bank in that it has a monopoly on issuing banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issues of banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pounds issued by Crown Dependencies and other areas are regulated only by local governments and not the Bank of England."

It is the fourth historical and only current legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. One cedi is divided into one hundred pesewas (Gp). After it gained independence Ghana separated itself from the British West African pound, which was the currency of the British colonies in the region. The new republic's first independent currency was the Ghanaian pound (1958-1965). In 1965, Ghana decided to leave the British colonial monetary system and adopt the widely accepted decimal system. The African name Cedi (1965-1967) was introduced in place of the old British pound system. Ghana's first President Kwame Nkrumah introduced Cedi notes and Pesewa coins in July 1965 to replace the Ghanaian pounds, shillings and pence."

Banknotes of the euro, the currency of the Eurozone, have been in circulation since the first series was issued in 2002. They are issued by the national central banks of the Eurosystem or the European Central Bank. [ 1] In 1999 the euro was introduced virtually, [2] and in 2002 notes and coins began to circulate. The euro rapidly took over from the former national currencies and slowly expanded around the European Union. Denominations of the notes range from €5 to €500 and, unlike euro coins, the design is identical across the whole of the Eurozone, although they are issued and printed in various member states. The euro banknotes are pure cotton fibre, which improves their durability as well as giving the banknotes a distinctive feel. They measure from 120 by 62 millimetres (4.7 in × 2.4 in) to 160 by 82 millimetres (6.3 in × 3.2 in) and have a variety of colour schemes. The euro notes contain many complex security features such as watermarks, invisible ink, holograms and microprinting that document their authenticity. While euro coins have a national side indicating the country of issue (although not necessarily of minting), euro notes lack this."

Along with coin s, banknotes make up the cash or bearer forms of all modern money. With the exception of non-circulating high-value or precious metal commemorative issues, coins are generally used for lower valued monetary units, while banknotes are used for higher values. Advantages Originally, precious and semi-precious metals were formed into coins and were used to negotiate and settle trades. Banknotes offer an alternative bearer form of money, but the advantages and disadvantages between the two forms of bearer money are complex and so in different circumstances the overall advantage can lie with either form. The costs of using bearer money include: Manufacturing or issue costs. Coins are produced by industrial manufacturing methods that process the precious or semi-precious metals, and require additions of alloy for hardness and wear resistance. By contrast bank notes are printed paper (or polymer), and typically have a lower cost of issue, especially in larger denominations, compared to coin of the same value. Wear costs. Coins wear and lose mass over their economic life, and eventually are scrapped."

[ 3] Both the ISO code \"\"DKK\"\" and currency sign \"\"kr.\"\" are in common use; the former precedes the value, the latter in some contexts follows it. The currency is sometimes referred to as the Danish crown in English, since krone literally means crown. Historically, krone coins have been minted in Denmark since the 17th century. One krone is subdivided into 100 øre ( Danish pronunciation: [ˈøːɐ]; singular and plural), the name øre possibly deriving from Latin aureus meaning \"\"gold coin\"\".

The following year he also became the Archbishop of Mainz. That position carried considerable temporal power as Archbishop of Mainz was one of the seven Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, making him only second in rank to the Emperor. His appointment to these positions was contrary to Church law as he had not yet reached the canonical age of 27 and one person could not hold more than a single diocese. However Albrecht was granted dispensations from Pope Leo X after he made a large contribution to the Pope to help pay for the rebuilding of St. Peter’s in Rome. Albrecht had borrowed the funds from Jakob Fugger. In order to repay Fugger, he was granted permission by Pope Leo to sell indulgences, as long as half proceeds went to the Pope. All this was too much for a German monk named Martin Luther who driven to write his famous 95 Theses, which he nailed to the doors of the Wittenberg Castle Church, thus sparking the Protestant Reformation. This silver Groschen of Albrecht was minted by the Duchy of Prussia, which at that time was a vassal state of the Kingdom of Poland. One side depicts Albrecht along with the date and legends."

It is commonly called the \"\"Deutschmark\"\" in English but not in German. Germans often say \"\"Mark\"\" or \"\"D-Mark\"\". It was first issued under Allied occupation in 1948 replacing the Reichsmark, and served as the Federal Republic of Germany's official currency from its founding the following year until 1999, when the mark was replaced by the euro; its coins and banknotes remained in circulation, defined in terms of euros, until the introduction of euro notes and coins in early 2002. The Deutsche Mark ceased to be legal tender immediately upon the introduction of the euro—in contrast to the other Eurozone nations, where the euro and legacy currency circulated side by side for up to two months. Mark coins and banknotes continued to be accepted as valid forms of payment in Germany until 28 February 2002.

The lira was also the currency of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy between 1807 and 1814. The term originates from the value of a pound weight ( Latin: libra) of high purity silver and as such is a direct cognate of the British pound sterling; in some countries, such as Cyprus and Malta, the words lira and pound were used as equivalents, before the euro was adopted in 2008 in the two countries. \"\" L\"\", sometimes in a double-crossed script form (\"\"₤\"\"), was the symbol most often used."

"text": "Definition: The relevance principle is an accounting principle that states in order for financial information to be useful to external users, it must be relevant. GAAP goes on to describe the concept of relevance. Relevant information is useful, understandable, timely, and needed for decision making. What Does Relevance Principle Mean? Without relevance, financial information would be useless to investors and creditors. The main purpose of financial accounting is to aid external users like investors and creditors in making decisions about the company. Example If these external users can’t understand the financial information, it loses meaning. That is why GAAP requires a standardized format for all financial statements. This way investors and creditors will understand the numbers and be able to compare them with other companies with financial ratios. Financial information must also be timely."

Using this principle, a fact or a happening or event which cannot be expressed in terms of money is not recorded in the accounting books. Thus, it is not acceptable to record such non-quantifiable items as employee skill levels or the quality of customer service. [ 1]One of the basic principles in historical cost accounting is \"\"The Measuring Unit principle\"\" (or stable measuring unit assumption): The unit of measure in accounting shall be the base money unit of the most relevant currency. This principle also assumes the unit of measure is stable; that is, changes in its general purchasing power are not considered sufficiently important to require adjustments to the basic financial statements.

"text": "Simplicity in the Philosophy of Science The view that simplicity is a virtue in scientific theories and that, other things being equal, simpler theories should be preferred to more complex ones has been widely advocated in the history of science and philosophy, and it remains widely held by modern scientists and philosophers of science. It often goes by the name of “Ockham’s Razor.” The claim is that simplicity ought to be one of the key criteria for evaluating and choosing between rival theories, alongside criteria such as consistency with the data and coherence with accepted background theories. Simplicity, in this sense, is often understood ontologically, in terms of how simple a theory represents nature as being—for example, a theory might be said to be simpler than another if it posits the existence of fewer entities, causes, or processes in nature in order to account for the empirical data. However, simplicity can also been understood in terms of various features of how theories go about explaining nature—for example, a theory might be said to be simpler than another if it contains fewer adjustable parameters, if it invokes fewer extraneous assumptions, or if it provides a more unified explanation of the data. Preferences for simpler theories are widely thought to have played a central role in many important episodes in the history of science. Simplicity considerations are also regarded as integral to many of the standard methods that scientists use for inferring hypotheses from empirical data, the most of common illustration of this being the practice of curve-fitting. Indeed, some philosophers have argued that a systematic bias towards simpler theories and hypotheses is a fundamental component of inductive reasoning quite generally. However, though the legitimacy of choosing between rival scientific theories on grounds of simplicity is frequently taken for granted, or viewed as self-evident, this practice raises a number of very difficult philosophical problems. A common concern is that notions of simplicity appear vague, and judgments about the relative simplicity of particular theories appear irredeemably subjective."

"text": "10 Guiding Principles for an Effective Performance Measurement Framework Like most organizations, you probably dedicate significant time and resources for planning – strategic planning, operational planning, business planning, program planning, project planning, even planning for meetings. How do you know if your operational performance is contributing to the achievement of the goals and objectives set out in the plans, or if you are heading down the wrong path? Many organizations have had difficulty establishing a clearly defined set of performance measures and indictors, and even more challenges trying to operationalize their performance measurement framework (PMF). It all sounds easy – set goals, identify key indicators to track performance, determine data sources to populate the measures, analyze the data, and make changes along the way to re-align performance to the goals and objectives. As a guide, here are a set of principles that help frame the development of performance measures: Principle #1 - The measurement system must be tied to the vision of the organization. The aim and purpose of a PMF is to gauge the organization’s performance and to ensure the organization is moving in the right direction to realize that vision. For Government of Canada (Go C) departments and agencies, the focus becomes the mandate of the organization and the strategic objectives identified in your Program Activity Architecture (PAA). Principle #2 - The measures must be balanced (comprised of financial and non-financial data). For many government organizations, one of the key concerns for senior managers is whether their unit will lapse funding at the end of the fiscal year. While financial measures are often among the easiest to identify and collect data on, performance measures must reflect all aspects of the organization."

"text": "\"Flag What is the relevance of the accounting principles in the accounting practice? Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. There are general rules and concepts that govern the field of accounting. These general rules-referred to as basic accounting principles and guidelines -form the groundwork on which more detailed, complicated, and legalistic accounting rules are based. For example, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) uses the basic accounting principles and guidelines as a basis for their own detailed and comprehensive set of accounting rules and standards. The phrase \"\"generally accepted accounting principles\"\" (or \"\"GAAP\"\") consists of three important sets of rules: (1) the basic accounting principles and guidelines, (2) the detailed rules and standards issued by FASB and its predecessor the Accounting Principles Board (APB), and (3) the generally accepted industry practices. If a company distributes its financial statements to the public, it is required to follow generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of those statements. Further, if a company's stock is publicly traded, federal law requires the company's financial statements be audited by independent public accountants. Both the company's management and the independent accountants must certify that the financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP is exceedingly useful because it attempts to standardize and regulate accounting definitions, assumptions, and methods."

"text": "A Priori Justification and Knowledge First published Sun Dec 9, 2007; substantive revision Mon May 19, 2014A priori justification is a type of epistemic justification that is, in some sense, independent of experience. Gettier examples have led most philosophers to think that having a justified true belief is not sufficient for knowledge ( see sec. 5, below, and the example, Sheep ), but many still believe that it is necessary. For those that do, a priori knowledge is knowledge based on a priori justification. There are a variety of views about whether a priori justification can be defeated (overridden or undercut) by other evidence, especially empirical evidence, and a variety of views about whether a priori justification, and knowledge, must be only of necessary or analytic propositions (see examples (1a)– (4a) and (7a)– (14a), below), or at least of ones believed to be necessary or analytic. A priori justification seems to rest on rational intuitions, or insights, but there are a variety of views about the nature of these intuitions or insights. There are different explanations of how these intuitions provide justification, if they do. Some philosophers do not see a priori justification as resting on any evidence, either experiential or nonexperiential, and so not resting on rational intuitions or insights at all. Their idea is that in some circumstances it can be default reasonable for a person to accept a proposition, or that the person is entitled to accept certain presuppositions independent of any evidence. Of course, there are also many objections to the idea that there can be a priori justification."

Go to: Preface This is the report of the 58th of a series of workshops organised by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM). The main objective of ECVAM, as defined in 1993 by its Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC), is to promote the scientific and regulatory acceptance of alternative methods which are of importance to the biosciences, and which reduce, refine or replace the use of laboratory animals. One of the first priorities set by ECVAM was the implementation of procedures that would enable it to become well informed about the state of the art of non-animal test development and validation, and of opportunities for the possible incorporation of alternative methods into regulatory procedures. It was decided that this would be achieved through a programme of ECVAM workshops, each addressing a specific topic, and at which selected groups of independent international experts would review the current status of various types of in vitro tests and their potential uses, and make recommendations about the best ways forward ( 1 ). The workshop was organised by Michael Balls and Valérie Zuang, and took place on 5–7 May 2004, at the Hotel Lido, Angera (VA), Italy, with participants from academia, industry, research, and national and international validation authorities."

The arguments that Hume advances on this subject are found primarily in the sections titled “Of liberty and necessity”, as first presented in A Treatise of Human Nature (2.3.1–2) and, later, in a slightly amended form, in the Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (sec. 8). Although there is considerable overlap in content between these two statements of Hume's position, there are also some significant differences. This includes, for example, some substantial additions in the Enquiry discussion as it relates to problems of religion, such as predestination and divine foreknowledge. While these differences are certainly significant they should not be exaggerated. Hume's basic strategy and compatibilist commitments in both works remain the same in their essentials It has become common practice to treat the two sections “Of liberty and necessity” as self-standing contributions that can be fully understood more or less in isolation from Hume's philosophical commitments and principles as found outside these sections. ( Many anthologies present one or other of these sections as complete statements of Hume's position on this subject.) There is, nevertheless, an intimate and complex relationship between what Hume has to say in the sections “Of liberty and necessity” and his moral psychology and philosophical system as a whole. Neglect of these features has led to some serious misunderstanding concerning the character and content of Hume's compatibilism."

A company uses its financial data and other accounting information to make decisions that can affect its position within the market. Having accurate accounting data is the means a company uses to steer in the direction it needs to go. Some important accounting characteristics include relevance, reliability, materiality and consistency. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles The Financial Accounting Standards Board provides the standards that businesses use when creating financial reports for others to review. Both FASB and the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission jointly created the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, known in the industry as GAAP, to provide guidance to accountants when completing financial reporting. FASB indicates that two of the most important accounting characteristics include relevance and reliability. Relevance When information is timely and relevant to the industry in which the business competes, decision-makers have the opportunity to make thoughtful decisions and projections about their business. Relevant financial data helps a company’s management team review current facts and data and compare this with historical trends to make predictions about future business events. Relevant information and data provides the means to plot a company’s growth or response to a changing market."

[ 1] This involves the preparation of financial statements available for public consumption. Stockholders, suppliers, banks, employees, government agencies, business owners, and other stakeholders are examples of people interested in receiving such information for decision making purposes. Financial accountancy is governed by both local and international accounting standards. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting used in any given jurisdiction. It includes the standards, conventions and rules that accountants follow in recording and summarizing and in the preparation of financial statements. On the other hand, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a set of passionable accounting standards stating how particular types of transactions and other events should be reported in financial statements."

"text": "\"Part 1 Introduction to Accounting Principles, Basic Accounting Principles & Guidelines Part 2Other Characteristics of Accounting Information, How Principles and Guidelines Affect Financial Statements Introduction to Accounting Principles There are general rules and concepts that govern the field of accounting. These general rules–referred to as basic accounting principles and guidelines –form the groundwork on which more detailed, complicated, and legalistic accounting rules are based. For example, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) uses the basic accounting principles and guidelines as a basis for their own detailed and comprehensive set of accounting rules and standards. The phrase \"\"generally accepted accounting principles\"\" (or \"\"GAAP\"\") consists of three important sets of rules: (1) the basic accounting principles and guidelines, (2) the detailed rules and standards issued by FASB and its predecessor the Accounting Principles Board (APB), and (3) the generally accepted industry practices. If a company distributes its financial statements to the public, it is required to follow generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of those statements. Further, if a company's stock is publicly traded, federal law requires the company's financial statements be audited by independent public accountants. Both the company's management and the independent accountants must certify that the financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP is exceedingly useful because it attempts to standardize and regulate accounting definitions, assumptions, and methods. Because of generally accepted accounting principles we are able to assume that there is consistency from year to year in the methods used to prepare a company's financial statements. And although variations may exist, we can make reasonably confident conclusions when comparing one company to another, or comparing one company's financial statistics to the statistics for its industry."

Project governance is a critical element of any project since the accountabilities and responsibilities associated with an organization’s business as usual activities are laid down in their organizational governance arrangements, seldom does an equivalent framework exist to govern the development of its capital investments (projects). For instance, the organization chart provides a good indication of who in the organization is responsible for any particular operational activity the organization conducts. But unless an organization has specifically developed a project governance policy, no such chart is likely to exist for project development activity. Therefore, the role of project governance is to provide a decision making framework that is logical, robust and repeatable to govern an organization’s capital investments."

"text": "Tonsillectomy and Adenoids Post Op Patient Health Information The tonsils are two clusters of tissue located on both sides of the back of the throat. Adenoids sit high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth. Tonsils and adenoids are often removed when they become enlarged and block the upper airway, leading to breathing difficulty. They are also removed when recurrence of tonsil infections or strep throat cannot be successfully treated by antibiotics. The surgery is most often performed on children. The procedure to remove the tonsils is called a tonsillectomy; excision of the adenoids is an adenoidectomy. Both procedures are often performed at the same time; hence the surgery is known as a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, or T&A. T&A is an outpatient surgical procedure lasting between 30 and 45 minutes and performed under general anesthesia. Normally, the young patient will remain at the hospital or clinic for several hours after surgery for observation. Children with severe obstructive sleep apnea and very young children are usually admitted overnight to the hospital for close monitoring of respiratory status. An overnight stay may also be required if there are complications such as excessive bleeding, severe vomiting, or low oxygen saturation."

"text": "Print Diagnosis Your child's doctor will start with a physical exam that will include: Using a lighted instrument to look at your child's throat and likely his or her ears and nose, which may also be sites of infection Checking for a rash known as scarlatina, which is associated with some cases of strep throat Gently feeling (palpating) your child's neck to check for swollen glands (lymph nodes)Listening to his or her breathing with a stethoscope Checking for enlargement of the spleen (for consideration of mononucleosis, which also inflames the tonsils)Throat swab With this simple test, the doctor rubs a sterile swab over the back of your child's throat to get a sample of secretions. The sample will be checked in the clinic or in a lab for streptococcal bacteria. Many clinics are equipped with a lab that can get a test result within a few minutes. However, a second more reliable test is usually sent out to a lab that can return results within 24 to 48 hours. If the rapid in-clinic test comes back positive, then your child almost certainly has a bacterial infection. If the test comes back negative, then your child likely has a viral infection. Your doctor will wait, however, for the more reliable out-of-clinic lab test to determine the cause of the infection. Complete blood cell count (CBC)Your doctor may order a CBC with a small sample of your child's blood. The result of this test, which can often be completed in a clinic, produces a count of the different types of blood cells. The profile of what's elevated, what's normal or what's below normal can indicate whether an infection is more likely caused by a bacterial or viral agent."

You can't see a person's adenoids by looking in their mouth. Adenoids are part of the immune system, which helps fight infection and protects the body from bacteria and viruses. Only children have adenoids. They start to grow from birth and are at their largest when a child is around three to five years of age. By age seven to eight, the adenoids start to shrink and by the late teens, they're barely visible. By adulthood, they'll have disappeared completely. Adenoids can be helpful in young children, but they're not an essential part of an adult's immune system."

The tonsils, along with the adenoids, are part of the system that captures germs entering the body and triggers an immune response to an infection. Who is a candidate for the procedure? The palatine tonsils are easily seen on either side of the throat at the level of the soft palate. Removal of the palatine tonsils is an appropriate treatment in the following situations:if there have been 3 to 5 bacterial infections of the tonsils within 3 to 5 yearsif there have been more than 6 episodes of tonsillitis in a yearif chronic tonsillitis, or infection of the tonsils, does not respond to antibiotics The lingual tonsils are areas of tonsil tissue at the back of the tongue. They may be removed for one of several reasons, including:recurrent or chronic tonsillitisenlargement of the tonsils that causes sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that occurs during sleepenlargement of the tonsils that causes difficulty swallowing, especially in childrendiagnosed or suspected cancer How is the procedure performed? A tonsillectomy to remove the palatine tonsils is usually done under general anesthesia, which means that the person is put to sleep for the procedure. A device holds the mouth open, and a clamp is applied to the tonsil. An incision is then made in the lining over the tonsil. This incision can be made with scissors, knife, laser, or electrocautery, which means applying an electric current."

The tonsils are two particularly small glands, one on each side of the throat. The glands can be seen at the back of the mouth in between two membranes that run towards the palate. Tonsillitis can be temporary or long-lasting, in which case the assistance of a physician, and possibly a surgeon, is recommended. Alternative Names Given to Tonsillitis A few of the common alternative names for tonsillitis include: Pharyngitis–an inflammation of the pharynx. Laryngitis–an inflammation of the larynx. Both of these inflammatory diseases can cause and be caused by tonsillitis. Symptoms That Suggest the Presence of Tonsillitis Because tonsillitis is the swelling of glands in the patient’s throat, it is commonly accompanied by other symptoms that affect the throat and mouth. The most common symptom of tonsillitis is a sore, scratchy throat. The sore throat may develop gradually or suddenly and can be mild or severe."

The Reasons behind Tonsil and Adenoid Removal Sometimes, you might face some recurrence in tonsils and adenoid infection, with antibiotics having little impact. In such cases, tonsil and adenoid removal becomes necessary. Adenoids are small pads of tissue located at the back of the nose and above the throat. When they get infected and swollen, they block the nose and cause breathing problems. A proper adenoid diagnosis conducted by a doctor will detect an infection. An adenoid removal surgery is simple and routine, and your child should be back on his feet within 7 to 10 days. However, a few basic precautions can aid adenoid surgery recovery. Antibiotics can be taken to provide relief post tonsil and adenoid removal surgery Recovery from Tonsil and Adenoid Removal: Immediate Care Post Surgery Post Surgery care is undertaken to detect any adenoid problems that can crop up.

Tonsils and Tonsillitis Tonsils are clumps of tissue on both sides of the throat that help fight infections. Tonsils may swell when they become infected (tonsillitis). If you look down your child's throat with a flashlight, the tonsils may be red and swollen or have a white or yellow coating on them. Other symptoms of tonsillitis can include:sore throatpain or discomfort when swallowingfeverswollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck Enlarged tonsils without any symptoms are common among kids.

"text": "What to eat after a tonsillectomy February 1, 2014 By @ENTClinic Sydney Tips from a dietitian about what to eat after a tonsillectomy The pain associated with tonsillitis or tonsillectomies can make eating food very daunting for children. Yet it is important to have optimal nutrition during this time, especially during recovery from surgery. Whilst offering your child ice cream is better than them not eating at all, it is imperative to firstly make an effort with a variety of other, more nutritious foods. Generally children will not allow themselves to go hungry. This means that they should eventually come around to the softer, healthier foods you are offering – so long as you don’t offer them ice cream as a fall back option!What to eat The following options are both nutritious and appropriate during tonsillitis flare ups and after tonsillectomy surgery. Dairy foods Dairy foods are excellent during tonsillitis flare ups or post surgery. They are high in protein, energy and calcium so they help to maintain good nutrition. Additionally, they are soft in texture and therefore easier to eat. Whilst children over the age of 2 can have fat reduced dairy, swap to the full cream varieties whilst their food intake is reduced – this will help to keep their energy intake up so that they do not lose weight. Examples include: Yoghurt – this can be from a tub or in the form of drinking yoghurt Milk – A glass of plain milk is nutritious and can be mixed with a small amount of flavouring if this is more appealing to your child. “"

Listenen español Adenoides inflamadas/hipertróficas Enlarged Adenoids Adenoids are a patch of tissue that sits at the very back of the nasal passage. Like tonsils, adenoids help keep the body healthy by trapping harmful bacteria and viruses that you breathe in or swallow. Although you can see the tonsils at the back of the throat, adenoids aren't directly visible. Adenoids do important work as infection fighters for babies and young children. But they become less important once a child gets older and the body develops other ways to fight germs. In kids, adenoids usually begin to shrink after about 5 years of age and often practically disappear by the teen years. Because adenoids trap germs that enter the body, adenoid tissue sometimes temporarily swells (becomes enlarged) as it tries to fight off an infection. The swelling sometimes gets better, but sometimes adenoids can get infected. If the adenoids get infected a lot, a doctor might recommend they be removed."

While generally safe and effective, you should understand the risks and benefits before having your tonsils removed. Reasons for a Tonsillectomy There are two common reasons a surgeon might suggest removing your tonsils. Recurrent strep throat is the main reason for having a tonsillectomy, however a tonsillectomy may also be recommended to treat sleep apnea related to enlarged tonsils. In particular a tonsillectomy will be recommended for your child if sleep apnea is causing quality of life issues such as hindering performance in school or excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea is a condition where a person stops breathing for brief periods of time during their sleep. Recent research has shown that over time, this lack of oxygen to the brain and heart can result in severe illnesses, including heart disease, depression, mood swings, aggression, daytime sleepiness and numerous other health problems. Swollen tonsils can can cause apnea by directly blocking the airway while a person is lying down. When to Get Surgery Most professional guidelines do not recommend a tonsillectomy for infections unless you have had five to seven of them in one year."

A tonsillectomy is usually indicated for patients who have recurrent bacterial infections of the tonsils and are not managed adequately by medical means. It is also performed in cases when tonsils are so enlarged that they cause obstruction to eating or severe snoring and sleep apnea. Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure done mostly in children and occasionally in adults. It involves the removal of the soft tissues called tonsils at the back of the throat. Other soft tissues, called the adenoids, which are also often infected and enlarged in children and located around the tonsils, are sometimes also removed during tonsillectomy. These procedures are done under general anesthesia and may last for 20 to 60 minutes. Although it is a relatively short, simple and safe procedure, post-operative pain may be severe, and children often have difficulty eating and swallowing."

Tonsils form Waldeyer's tonsillar ring -- a ring of lymphatic tissue around the entrance of the pharynx. The tonsils are named according to their location. The palatine tonsils are located on the lateral walls of the oropharynx. The lingual tonsils are located at the base of the tongue. The adenoids ( pharyngeal tonsils) are high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth (soft palate), and are not easily visible through the mouth.

Pharyngitis: The pharynx, the area of the throat directly behind the mouth and soft palate, is a common passageway for food, liquids, and air. Swallowing safely delivers solids and liquids to the stomach through the esophagus. Pharyngitis is pain and inflammation of the pharynx. Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis typically involves inflammation of the tonsils (tonsils are located on either side of the base of the tongue). Laryngitis: The larynx, the top portion of your windpipe (trachea), has an important gatekeeper function. It allows passage of air in and out of the lungs (through the trachea), but inhibits the entry of solids and liquids. Sound production at the vocal cords is an important side job of the larynx."

"text": "Chiari I malformation Overview Chiari I malformation is a condition in which the bony space enclosing the lower part of the brain is smaller than normal. Crowding causes the cerebellar tonsils to push through the skull and down into the spinal canal. The herniated tonsils block the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Instead of moving in an easy, pulsating movement through this opening, the fluid begins to force its way through – like a water hammer – pushing the tonsils down even farther and exerting pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord. Symptoms may not appear until late childhood or adulthood, causing severe headache, neck pain, dizziness, numbness in the hands, and sleep problems. Treatment options depend on the type of malformation and severity of symptoms. If symptoms are mild, regular monitoring and medications can be effective. If symptoms are severe or worsening, surgery may be recommended to remove a part of the skull bone and create space for the cerebellum and brainstem. Of the several types of Chiari malformations, Chiari I is the most common and affects both children and adults. Chiari II occurs with the birth defect myelomeningocele."

A tonsillectomy is a procedure that involves removing the tonsils, which is usually done when someone experiences recurrent cases of tonsillitis or strep throat. A tonsillectomy is also performed for those who are suffering from disruptive sleep apnea. A tonsillectomy is common among children, although adults can receive the procedure at times as well. This is especially true when an adult has sleep problems resulting from enlarged tonsils.“ Tonsils, Who Needs ’Em? ” ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) by CJ Sorg How much does a tonsillectomy cost? On average, a tonsillectomy can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $11,000 without insurance. The cost generally depends on the age of the patient, the location of the hospital or doctor, professional fees charged by the doctor, the facility, anesthesia fees, and insurance."

While tonsil removal surgery -- a tonsillectomy -- typically lasts only 30 to 45 minutes, the recovery period is usually about 2 weeks. During this time, it's common to experience a variety of symptoms. Some symptoms, like throat pain, are to be expected. But it's good to know about the less common side effects as well. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Pain Pain is likely the first thing someone who has had his tonsils removed notices after awaking from surgery. While there will definitely be throat pain, there might also be ear pain. This is called referred pain because the pain is referred from the throat to the ears. Some people may even think they have an ear infection. Post-tonsillectomy pain ranges from mild to severe and is usually worse in adults than children."

"text": "Reverse Osmosis (RO) Process Water Treatment This short paper looks at the use of reverse osmosis (RO) in process water treatment applications and considers the process itself, the use of reverse osmosis membranes, and factors affecting water quality and plant performance. Reverse osmosis is a process that industry uses to clean water, whether for industrial process applications or to convert brackish water, to clean up wastewater or to recover salts from industrial processes. Reverse osmosis will not remove all contaminants from water as dissolved gases such as dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide not being removed. But reverse osmosis can be very effective at removing other products such as trihalomethanes (THM’s), some pesticides, solvents and other volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). The reverse osmosis process In the reverse osmosis process, cellophane-like membranes separate purified water from contaminated water. RO is when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane forcing purified water into the dilute side, the rejected impurities from the concentrated side being washed away in the reject water. RO can also act as an ultra-filter removing particles such as some micro-organisms that may be too large to pass through the pores of the membrane. RO membranes Common membrane materials include polyamide thin film composites (TFC), cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose triacetate (CTA) with the membrane material being spiral wound around a tube, or hollow fibres bundled together. Hollow fibre membranes have a greater surface area and hence capacity but are more easily blocked than spiral wound membranes. RO membranes are rated for their ability to reject compounds from contaminated water."

ALKALINITY : Capacity of water to accept acid, ordinarily because of its bicarbonate content. In some cases a part of the alkalinity in water may be due to carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate, or silicate. It is expressed in terms of mg/l of calcium carbonate. Total alkalinity is determined by titration with acid to a p H of 4.3. Methyl orange indicator is frequently used as the end point, but potentiometric titration is preferable. If the p H of the water is greater than 8.3, it is probable that carbonate is present."

"text": "2.1 Desalination by reverse osmosis Desalination is a separation process used to reduce the dissolved salt content of saline water to a usable level. All desalination processes involve three liquid streams: the saline feedwater (brackish water or seawater), low-salinity product water, and very saline concentrate (brine or reject water). The saline feedwater is drawn from oceanic or underground sources. It is separated by the desalination process into the two output streams: the low-salinity product water and very saline concentrate streams. The use of desalination overcomes the paradox faced by many coastal communities, that of having access to a practically inexhaustible supply of saline water but having no way to use it. Although some substances dissolved in water, such as calcium carbonate, can be removed by chemical treatment, other common constituents, like sodium chloride, require more technically sophisticated methods, collectively known as desalination. In the past, the difficulty and expense of removing various dissolved salts from water made saline waters an impractical source of potable water. However, starting in the 1950s, desalination began to appear to be economically practical for ordinary use, under certain circumstances. The product water of the desalination process is generally water with less than 500 mg/1 dissolved solids, which is suitable for most domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses. A by-product of desalination is brine."

Reverse Osmosis: A Scientific Explanation Reverse osmosis is a complicated process which uses a membrane under pressure to separate relatively pure water (or other solvent) from a less pure solution. When two aqueous solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water passes through the membrane in the direction of the more concentrated solution as a result of osmotic pressure. If enough counter pressure is applied to the concentrated solution to overcome the osmotic pressure, the flow of water will be reversed."

( A solvent is the major component of a solution, the liquid in which something else is dissolved.) A semipermeable membrane is a material that allows some materials to flow through it but not others. The reason that semipermeable membranes have this property is that they contain very small holes. Small molecules, such as those of water, can flow easily through the holes. But large molecules, such as those of solutes (the component being dissolved, for instance sugar), cannot. Figure 1 illustrates this process. Notice that smaller molecules of water are able to pass through the openings in the membrane shown here but larger molecules of sugar are not. Osmotic pressure Osmosis always moves a solvent in one direction only, from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. As osmosis proceeds, pressure builds up on the side of the membrane where volume has increased."

Reverse Osmosis (RO), the reverse of osmosis, is often used to partially clean-up tap water to make it roughly 90% to 99% pure. Deionization (DI) filters exchange positive hydrogen and negative hydroxyl molecules for positive and negative contaminant molecules in water. DI filtering and other processes are sometimes referred to as \"\"water polishing. \"\" To answer the question more specifically, the individual technologies need to be understood. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the opposite of a natural process simply called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane. The process naturally moves water from a low ion concentration to a higher ion concentration across a semipermeable membrane."

His company, Trevi Systems, recently won an international low-energy desalination competition and is building a pilot solar plant to desalinate seawater in the United Arab Emirates. With world water demands rising and extreme droughts like the one now gripping California expected to grow more frequent and widespread as the climate warms, drawing fresh water from oceans and other salty sources will be increasingly important. “Eventually, we’ll have to develop new sources of water,” said David Sedlak, a University of California-Berkeley professor of civil and environmental engineering and author of Water 4.0: The Past, Present and Future of the World’s Most Vital Resource."

Some people may recall that it is a kind of system or process through which water is purified, but for most people the actual mechanical function and inner workings of reverse osmosis systems are still something they cannot comprehend. Even people who regularly use RO systems in their home may have a hard time explaining how they work to a stranger. This doesn’t have to be the case because the acutal mechanics, operations and technical functionalities of a reverse osmosis system is not very complicated. From small under-counter kitchen RO systems to large warehouse filled RO treatment centers, the process of reverse osmosis water filtration is the same. Thin-Film Composite (TFC) membranes are created from multiple sheets or leaves of polyamide layered with polysulfone and polyester support webs which are then rolled together over a purified water delivery tube. The membrane element is then placed in a housing chamber that is designed to separate the purified water (permeate) from the rejected (concentrate) water. When a sufficient water pressure is applied to the chamber, water will flow through the membrane channeling in a spiral direction from the top layer sheets down towards the center tube."

S., many states face water shortages and droughts. Meanwhile, reports Robert Glennon in Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to Do About It, Americans use 24 gallons of water each day to flush their toilets—approximately 5.8 billion gallons. What a waste! As the global population continues to grow and climate change results in more water crises, where will we find enough water to meet our needs? In the U. S., we spend billions of dollars treating water to drinking water quality when we use only 10% of it for drinking and cooking, then flush most of the rest down the toilet or drain. So the growing use of recycled wastewater for irrigation, landscaping, industry and toilet flushing, is a good way to conserve our fresh water resources. Recycled water is also used to replenish sensitive ecosystems where wildlife, fish and plants are left vulnerable when water is diverted for urban or rural needs. In coastal areas, recycled water helps recharge groundwater aquifers to prevent the intrusion of saltwater, which occurs when groundwater has been over pumped. Photo credit: notcub The use of recycled water for drinking, however, is less common, largely because many people are repelled by the thought of water that’s been in our toilets going to our taps. But a few countries like Singapore, Australia and Namibia, and states such as California, Virginia and New Mexico are already drinking recycled water, demonstrating that purified wastewater can be safe and clean, and help ease water shortages."

"text": "\"RO production train, North Cape Coral RO Plant A reverse osmosis plant is a manufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis takes place. An average modern reverse osmosis plant needs six kilowatt-hours of electricity to desalinate one cubic metre of water. [ 1] The process also results in an amount of salty briny waste. The challenge for these plants is to find ways to reduce energy consumption, use sustainable energy sources, improve the process of desalination and to innovate in the area of waste management to deal with the waste. Self-contained water treatment plants using reverse osmosis, called reverse osmosis water purification units, are normally used in a military context. Contents [ hide ]1 In operation2 See also3 References4 External links In operation In 1977 Cape Coral, Florida became the first municipality in the United States to use the RO process on a large scale with an initial operating capacity of 11,356 cubic metres (3 million gallons) per day. By 1985, due to the rapid growth in population of Cape Coral, the city had the largest low pressure reverse osmosis plant in the world, capable of producing 56,782 cubic metres (15 million gallons) per day. [ 2]In Israel at Ashkelon on the Mediterranean coast, the world's largest reverse osmosis plant is producing 396,000 [3] cubic metres of water a day at around possibly $0.50 USD per cubic metre. [ 4]In western Saudi Arabia at Yanbu, production started in 1999 at 106,904 cubic metres of water a day. Later in 2009 with some expansion the production reached to 132,000 cubic metres of water a day. ["

The Greek myths were actually efforts of the people to explain the creation of the world, the nature around them, weather conditions and generally any superhuman that was happening in their daily life. At first, Greek mythology stories were transmitted orally and they were usually narrated in the form of songs. Only in the 5th century BC was the Greek Mythology written down in plays. Note that these myths constituted the main theme of the ancient plays written by famous play writers, like Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.

The poem Theogony by Hesiod followed around 700 BC. As the name of the poem depicts (Theogony means the birth of Gods), it deals with the creation of the human world and the ancient Gods.

Just like the Olympian gods, most of the ancient Greek goddesses resided in the realms of heavens above mount Olympus (though there were quite a few exceptions too). The goddess too had special powers and could also control specific aspects of life. From the motherly Rhea who dared to trick her own husband to save her children, to the queen of gods Hera or the goddess of wisdom Athena who was much revered by the gods and mortals alike, the ancient Greek goddesses were as much of a divine force to be reckoned with as were the gods.

He ruled the cosmos during the Golden Age after castrating and deposing his father Ouranos (Uranus, Sky). In fear of a prophecy that he would in turn be overthrown by his own son, Kronos swallowed each of his children as they were born. Rhea managed to save the youngest, Zeus, by hiding him away on the island of Krete (Crete), and fed Kronos a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes. The god grew up, forced Kronos to disgorge his swallowed offspring, and led the Olympians in a ten year war against the Titanes (Titans), driving them in defeat into the pit of Tartaros (Tartarus). Many human generations later, Zeus released Kronos and his brothers from their prison, and made the old Titan king of the Elysian Islands, home of the blessed dead.

"text": "\"The Titans are the original immortals who ruled the universe after the Protogenoi, and before the rise of the Olympians. Kronos was their king, with Rhea as his queen. Contents [ show]History The First Generation Titans were born to Gaea and Ouranos near the beginning of creation. Ouranos had earlier imprisoned his elder children, the Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires, in Tartarus because of his respective contempt and fear of them. Gaea was outraged by the treatment of her sons and conspired with her remaining children to kill Ouranos. Although all of the titans hated their father, they still didn't like the idea of killing him but Kronos, the boldest of the Titans, agreed to attack his father and punish him for his cruelty. His four brothers Hyperion, Krios, Koios and Iapetus also agreed to help him. Gaea lured Ouranos down to the earth to meet her for a romantic dinner while Kronos's brothers Hyperion, Krios, Iapetus and Koios ambushed him and pinned him to the ground. Meanwhile, Kronos chopped him up into a thousand pieces and through them into the sea as loathing of his brother Oceanus who refused to participate in the conspiracy. Fresh from his victory, Kronos seized supremacy amongst the titans and became their king."

"text": "African Girl’s Names Family April 21, 2016 admin Featured 28A name is a declaration of one’s identity, an ontological expression of who and what constitutes that unique self. A symbolic representation of the virtues which describes your personality or your higher potential.-Elijah Muhammad (NOI)FEMALE | MALENames are cultural identifiers. The first gift you can give your child is a noble African name, they wear it all their life and God willing live by the name given. Your name links you with your past, your ancestors and is a part of your spirituality. A beautiful name accompanies us for the rest of our life and is a critical rite of passage in African culture. This act of naming is so critical to self-determination that we have therefore prepared a small sample of popular African names. * When choosing a name take into consideration that some names are religious and cultural (e.g. most Swahili names are Islamic/Muslim, Ghanaian name reflect the day of the birth.) Most names in Africa, unlike in Europe are directly connected to a meaning, i.e. the name ASHAKI means light to all speakers of the language. So most non-European names used by Africans actually still retain their intrinsic meaning. You must remember that slave-names will keep you a slave in the eyes of the civilized world today."

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Richard Rawlings began building cars and going to car shows with his father when he was a young child. He began buying his own cars when he was 14. His first car was a 1974 green Mercury Comet. By the time he was actually old enough to drive, Richard had already bought and sold several cars. In high school he drove a 1977 Bandit Trans Am. After high school, Rawlings set out to work various jobs that would help support his passion for cars. He went on to work as a firefighter, paramedic, police officer, and finally, owner and operator of his own printing and advertising company. He sold his printing company in order to launch Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, Texas. Gas Monkey Garage has since become a world-famous hot rod shop with clients coming from all over the world."

Sep. 7, 2015 | 7:20 pm | Author : Asa Hawks Categories : Fast N' Loud Richard Rawlings Weddings Fast N’ Loud star Richard Rawlings loves being in the spotlight. The 46-year-old fabricator and hot rod enthusiast revealed in an interview that he and bearded bro Aaron Kaufman started Gas Monkey Garage more than a decade ago with the dream of a TV show in mind. But there’s one thing Richard has been reluctant to put in the spotlight: his personal life. One of the questions most often asked by fans of the show is inevitably “Is Richard Rawlings married?” It seems that part of the reason Richard doesn’t address his marital status on air is because he partly blames the show for leading to the divorce from his wife of just over ten years, Suzanne Rawlings. “We got divorced while all the [Gas Monkey and Fast N’ Loud] stuff was happening and it was hard for her to put up with it,” Richard told DFW.com in May of this year. “ So it was rough on her for awhile. I’m traveling, I’m gone, and, of course, there are lots of girls out there."

"text": "Egalitarianism First published Fri Aug 16, 2002; substantive revision Wed Apr 24, 2013Egalitarianism is a trend of thought in political philosophy. An egalitarian favors equality of some sort: People should get the same, or be treated the same, or be treated as equals, in some respect. An alternative view expands on this last-mentioned option: People should be treated as equals, should treat one another as equals, should relate as equals, or enjoy an equality of social status of some sort. Egalitarian doctrines tend to rest on a background idea that all human persons are equal in fundamental worth or moral status. So far as the Western European and Anglo-American philosophical tradition is concerned, one significant source of this thought is the Christian notion that God loves all human souls equally. Egalitarianism is a protean doctrine, because there are several different types of equality, or ways in which people might be treated the same, or might relate as equals, that might be thought desirable. In modern democratic societies, the term “egalitarian” is often used to refer to a position that favors, for any of a wide array of reasons, a greater degree of equality of income and wealth across persons than currently exists.1. Preliminary Distinctions2. Equality of Opportunity3.

"text": "Oct62013Image Universalism vs Relativism (Human Rights)Universalism: human beings are entitled to same fundamental rights in all times, regardless of where they live. Relativism: human rights must be determined by examining cultural/religious/historical/social contexts. Opposing to Universalism/universal human rights:• “True universality of human rights cannot be presumed without overlooking the nations other than the 50 original Member states. Most African and Asian countries did not participate in the formulation of the Universal Declaration of human rights because, as victims of colonization, they were not members of the United Nations. • Many international legal scholars assert that the Universal Declaration has the status of customary international law, meaning states are bound by the norms it enumerates irrespective of their manifestation of intent to be or not be bound. Also, other core human rights treaties, human right council resolutions and regional treaties are just a few examples of the wide-ranging sources of authority for international human rights norms today. Perhaps because of this great body of law, it remains important to assess to what extend certain norms may be considered universal. • As developed by Thomas Aquinas, the theory of natural law asserts that individuals have certain unchallengeable rights of the highest order granted to all individuals by God or Providence, and that man-made laws are only viable to the extent that they do not clash with the natural laws of the universe. This theory provided one of the early justifications for the universality of human rights by contending that individual rights are part of the natural law as designed by a higher power. However, in a modern global society where conflict over the existence and nature of God is intense, outdated reliance on natural law theory to support the universality of human rights would be misplaced. •"

"text": "June 8, 2015Net Worth Update: Kim Richards Isn’t Worth As Much As One Might Think Celebrities Lindsay Cronin Has the net worth of Kim Richards taken a major hit? Apparently so. Although Richards was once a successful child star and member of the famous Hilton family, her net worth isn’t what it once was, despite her role on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. According to a report by Bustle on June 7, Richards’ net worth isn’t nearly as much as her Bravo co-stars. “Born Rich.com claims her net worth is $2 million, while Celebrity Net Worth.com shaves that amount down to a measly $500,000.”In addition to her not stacking up to the likes of Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer, and Adrienne Maloof, who have all starred on the series at one point or another, Richards’ net worth is also substantially less than her younger sister, Kyle Richards. Bustle claims Kyle’s net worth is a whopping $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and she makes a reported $270,000 per episode of the show, while Richards rakes in just $100,000. Although it is normal for stars of the Bravo series to make different amounts, the amounts normally differ based on how long they’ve been on the show and whether or not they appear full-time. In the case of the Richards sisters, however, they’ve both been starring in full-time roles since Season 1, so the differing pay is pretty odd and somewhat telling when it comes to who fans prefer. As for the net worth of her co-stars, Lisa Vanderpump is listed at $65 million, Camille Grammer and Adrienne Maloof both have a net worth of $50 million, and Yolanda Foster is worth $45 million. The other women, who joined the show in the years since its debut, have net worths closer to that of Richards."

It’s safe to say that this star is one of them, so before we delve into Ryan Seacrest’s height, weight and other measurements, let’s explore his past and validate our stand that he was born for his line of work. He was born Ryan John Seacrest on December 24, 1974 to Constance Marie (née Zullinger), a homemaker, and Gary Lee Seacrest, a real estate lawyer. According to his mother, he was just a boy when his talent starting shining, her exact words were, ‘Instead of playing with G. I. Joes or Cowboys and Indians, ‘Ryan would always have a little microphone and do shows in the house. ’When he was 16, his career got a jump start; he earned an internship at Atlanta radio station WSTR, and later got the weekend overnight shift. So it was no surprise when he became a journalism major in college. He had a couple of gigs here, there and in between, but his big break came when he became a host on American Idol in 2002. Funny story, he actually auditioned to be a judge. He is not only a TV and radio host, Ryan is also an accomplished producer and is responsible for all Kardashian-related shows, J amie Oliver’s Food Revolution , Married to Jonas etc. He has an award or two up his sleeve, he received Emmy Award nominations for American Idol, and he won an Emmy for producing Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, he was also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Radio on April 13, 2005."

"text": "Liberal Feminism First published Thu Oct 18, 2007; substantive revision Mon Sep 30, 2013Liberals hold that freedom is a fundamental value, and that the just state ensures freedom for individuals. Liberal feminists share this view, and insist on freedom for women. There is disagreement among liberals about what freedom means, and thus liberal feminism takes more than one form. This entry discusses two basic kinds of liberal feminism. Part one discusses what, in the philosophical literature, is commonly called simply ‘liberal feminism.’ Liberal feminism conceives of freedom as personal autonomy—living a life of one's own choosing—and political autonomy—being co-author of the conditions under which one lives. Part two discusses what is commonly called ‘classical-liberal feminism,’ or sometimes ‘libertarian feminism’ (these terms will be used interchangeably here). [ 1] Classical-liberal or libertarian feminism conceives of freedom as freedom from coercive interference. While liberal feminism is established in academic philosophy, much of the classical-liberal or libertarian feminist literature is oriented towards a more popular audience. ( Note that there is dispute over whether classical-liberal or libertarian feminism ought to be considered a version of liberal feminism (see section 2.7)).1."

The subversive camp-horror musical film -- based on Richard O'Brien's original stage show -- became a cult classic when a theater in New York City began running midnight showings of it the following year. Since then, the film has become a Saturday night tradition around the country, where audience members interact with the film while actors perform a live \"\"shadow\"\" version in front of the screen. It's been 38 years since 'The Rocky Horror Picture' show first hit theaters, so join us for a look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to now. Tim Curry, Dr. Frank N. Furter Then: Tim Curry reprised his role from the original stage musical as Dr. Frank N. Furter. Curry made his big screen debut in the film as a transsexual alien intent on building the perfect man. Now: Curry's performance in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' landed him the role of The Darkness in Ridley Scott's 'Legend.' He's also appeared in 'Clue,' 'Home Alone 2,' 'It,' and 'The Shadow.' These days he mostly does voice work, and his talents can be heard in 'Young Justice' and 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

"text": "Inside THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW background and analysis by Scott Miller The Rocky Horror Show, that unlikely cult phenomenon with music and lyrics by Richard O’Brien, and a script by O’Brien and (uncredited) by director Jim Sharman and the original cast, hit the London stage in 1973, and it was certainly an animal like no other. At its core it tells a tale we’ve heard many times before, back even before Shakespeare, of braving a wilderness, of surviving lost innocence, of sexual awakening, about acceptance of difference, about birth and death, forgiveness and redemption, about the fall from grace of a transgressive god. And yet there is something different here, born as it was in the midst of the alternative theatre movement and at the dawn of the punk rock era. Of its first production in London, Jack Tinker wrote in the Daily Mail, “Richard O’Brien’s spangled piece of erotic fantasy is so funny, so fast, so sexy, and so unexpectedly well realised that one is in danger of merely applauding it without assessing it. That would be a pity. Because I believe Mr. O’Brien has something quite nifty to say.” Rocky Horror explores American sexual hang-ups, the cultural chaos of the Sexual Revolution, and the sometimes cruel myth of the American Dream. It uses as its vocabulary pop a heady mix of cultural icons like Charles Atlas and muscle magazines, Frederick’s of Hollywood, old science fiction B-movies with scantily clad women, horror movies with barely sublimated sexual fantasies, punk and glam rock with their blurring of gender lines, collectively representing a long history of Americans hiding sex behind other things, of pretending to be sexless. And far from being an irrelevant museum piece today, Rocky holds lessons for us even now about how Americans over-react to nearly everything that comes along, and about how much happier we’d all be if we’d just stop doing that. Because the show was created entirely by British artists, it has the advantage of an outsider’s objectivity in its exploration and satire of these mostly American phenomena."

Leonetti distributor New Line Cinema genre Horror We gave it a FDon’t let the relatively rosy reviews for 2013’s The Conjuring fool you: Though it was a significantly better looking film than director James Wan’s previous features ( Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious ), it was still a lazily crafted series of scares that got by with the help of a cast who played well above the shoddy material. The Conjuring was a hit, but I doubt even the most diehard devotees saw it and thought, ”I wonder if that creepy doll barely mentioned in the movie has some sort of narrative of her own?” Enter Annabelle, a deeply insulting prequel produced by Wan and directed by The Conjuring cinematographer John R. Leonetti. This disastrous exercise revolves around new mother Mia Gordon (Annabelle Wallis) and the demon living within a doll who is trying to steal the soul of her infant daughter. Mia is married to the profoundly unlikeable John (Ward Horton), a medical student whose super power is to arrive just late enough to moments of possession to think his wife is crazy. There’s also neighbor Evelyn (Alfre Woodard), who shows up mostly to give Mia a sounding board—though she spends a massive swath of the film talking to herself or shouting things at apparitions. A priest (F. Murray Abraham lookalike Tony Amendola) helps to extend the running time a bit, but really, Annabelle should have been about 20 minutes long. After Mia and John’s home is invaded by members of a Satanic cult, the gears grind sluggishly, with the same series of gags and red herrings unfolding until the ridiculous conclusion, which finds the up-until-then silent evil entity suddenly able to articulate his motives, mostly because the third act demands it. Along the way, there are countless references to Rosemary’s Baby (even naming the main character Mia seems too cute by half), which breaks a cardinal rule of filmmaking: Never remind the audience of a great movie in the midst of your terrible movie. The only thrill-building tool in Annabelle ‘s kit involves things jumping out at you and making a loud noise, but you’re better off watching those You Tube videos that do the exact same thing."

Many young or first time filmmakers shoot low-budget films to prove their talent before doing bigger productions. Many low-budget films that do not gain some form of attention or acclaim are never released in theatres and are often sent straight to retail because of its lack of marketability, look, story, or premise."

"text": "\"The Shining: Review and Analysis Posted on May 25, 2013 by Carl 21 Comments Stanley Kubrick remains one of America’s strongest filmmakers – best known for classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick works across genres and his movies come with impeccable directing, atmosphere and a sense of intelligence. The Shining, one of Kubrick’s later movies, is now widely considered one (if not the) greatest horror movies ever made, and an excellent example of what an A-list director at the top of their game can do with the genre. Adapted, fairly loosely, from then up-and-coming author Stephen King’s novel, the film is a fascinating, twisted and dark movie, and remains prominent in popular culture today. It’s a film which certainly deserves a closer look. Everybody knows the plot of this movie – Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson) takes on the role of caretaker for the Overlook, a vast, historic hotel located deep in the Rocky Mountains. The hotel needs maintenance during the harsh winter months and so Jack, along with wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) are required to stay, isolated, for the winter. But the Overlook isn’t quite the homeliest hotel in the world – possessing a violent and savage history and collecting, over its years, a fair few ghosts. It’s an evil place, and the isolation and its influence begin to take a toll on Jack, who slowly begins to lose his mind. Danny also happens to possess ‘the shining,’ a psychic ability allowing him to see elements of past and future, a power of great interest to the hotel and its ghostly inhabitants. The Shining opens with a series of tracking shots depicting the sprawling Rocky Mountains."

This is no ordinary party, no ordinary night. This is the unveiling of the doctor's latest creation: Rocky Horror, a man-made Adonis that will give absolute pleasure. Over the course of the night, Frank seduces both Brad and Janet, Janet and Rocky become biblically involved, and Dr. Everett Von Scott arrives looking for his nephew Eddie (whom Frank killed earlier in this film). This is an exceedingly grand visual and musical camp satire of the golden days of the B-movie horror and science-fiction genres."

A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr Frank N. Furter, unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky Horror, complete \"\"with blond hair and a tan\"\". Produced and directed by Jim Sharman, the original London production of the musical premiered at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) on 19 June 1973 (after two previews on 16 and 18 June 1973) before moving to several other locations in London and closing on 13 September 1980, running for a total of 2,960 performances and winning the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Its 1974 debut in the US in Los Angeles had a successful nine-month run but its 1975 Broadway debut at the Belasco Theatre lasted only three previews and forty-five showings despite earning one Tony nomination and three Drama Desk nominations. Various international productions have since spanned across six continents as well as West End and Broadway revivals and eight UK tours. Actor Tim Curry, who originated the role of Dr. Frank N. Furter in the original London production, became particularly associated with the musical. The musical was adapted into the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring O'Brien as Riff Raff, with Curry also reprising his role; the film has the longest-running release in film history. In 2016 it was adapted into the television film The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again."

Whittaker hosted a radio programme in Great Britain in 1971, backed by a full orchestra with arrangements by Zack Lawrence. Whittaker is quoted as saying that \"\"one of the ideas I had was to invite listeners to send their poems or lyrics to me and I would make songs out of them. We got a million replies, and I did one each week for 26 weeks.\"\" [ 1] Ron A. Webster, a silversmith from Birmingham, England, sent Whittaker his poem entitled \"\"The Last Farewell\"\", and this became one of the selections to appear on the radio programme. It was subsequently recorded and featured on Whittaker's 1971 album New World in the Morning ( A Special Kind of Man in the US and Canada). Although the song failed to reach the music charts then, it's one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide.

When she returned to the United States, she asked her husband to play it on the station. After he played the song a few times, listeners began calling the station to find out more about the song and singer, and soon thereafter \"\"The Last Farewell\"\" was on its way onto the charts."

"text": "Roger Federer Net Worth: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know571 Views 4 Shares 3 Comments By Tim Keeney Jul 14, 2017 at 7:00am Getty Roger Federer is more than arguably the greatest tennis player of all-time. He’s a brand. He’s a business man. He’s a humanitarian. While Fed-Ex’s nearly two-decade run of transcendence on the court in nothing short of remarkable, his work off it is also highly impressive. Here’s everything you need to know about his net worth, earnings, endorsements and charity work:1. His Net Worth Is Estimated at $400 Million Getty According to The Richest, Federer is worth approximately $400 million, while other estimates put him at $450 million or $320 million. It’s always important to take these net worth numbers with a significant grain of salt because they are often fairly large estimates, but no matter what the actual number is, it’s safe to say Federer is going to be pretty well off when (if) he retires.a And while it’s hard to nail down an exact net worth, these next numbers are much more concrete.2. He’s Made More Than $100 Million on Tour Getty Prior to 2017 Wimbledon, Federer held a career ATP singles record of 1104-247 with 18 Grand Slam titles, six year-end Championship titles, 26 Masters tournament titles and 92 overall titles. Those legendary accomplishments have earned him a total of $104,445,185 in prize money."

[ 1]The song was originally recorded by Roger Whittaker in 1982, as well as by Sheena Easton and Lee Greenwood. The song appeared very shortly thereafter in charted versions by Colleen Hewett (1982), Lou Rawls (1983), Gladys Knight & The Pips (1983), and Gary Morris (1983). The highest-charting version of the song to date was recorded in 1988 by singer and actress Bette Midler for the soundtrack to the film Beaches. This version was released as a single in early 1989, spent one week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in June 1989, and won Grammy Awards for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year in February 1990. On October 24, 1991, Midler's single was also certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of one million copies in the United States. In 2004 Midler's version finished at No. 44 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. In a 2002 UK poll, \"\"Wind Beneath My Wings\"\" was found to be the most-played song at British funerals. ["

There’s no better job on the planet than being the front man/woman for a major rock band. Not only do lead singers get most of the glory, attention, accolades and groupies… they also make a TON of money. As we compiled the list below, we learned that if you want to make a huge fortune as a lead singer, it definitely helps if you also happen to be a prolific song writer.

A reflection against an axis followed by a reflection against a second axis parallel to the first one results in a total motion which is a translation. In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction. In Euclidean geometry a transformation is a one-to-one correspondence between two sets of points or a mapping from one plane to another. [ 1] A translation can be described as a rigid motion: the other rigid motions are rotations, reflections and glide reflections. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. A translation operator is an operator such that If v is a fixed vector, then the translation T v will work as T v: ( p) = p + v. If T is a translation, then the image of a subset A under the function T is the translate of A by T. The translate of A by T v is often written A + v. In a Euclidean space, any translation is an isometry. The set of all translations forms the translation group T, which is isomorphic to the space itself, and a normal subgroup of Euclidean group E ( n ). The quotient group of E ( n) by T is isomorphic to the orthogonal group O ( n ): E ( n) / T ≅ O ( n ).

"text": "\"Flight| Roger Ebert October 31, 2012 | 9Print Page Tweet After opening with one of the most terrifying flying scenes I've witnessed, in which an airplane is saved by being flown upside down, Robert Zemeckis ' \"\"Flight\"\" segues into a brave and tortured performance by Denzel Washington — one of his very best. Not often does a movie character make such a harrowing personal journey that keeps us in deep sympathy all of the way. Washington plays Whip Whitaker, a veteran commercial airlines pilot who over the years has built up a shaky tolerance for quantities of alcohol and cocaine that would be lethal for most people. At the film opens, he's finishing an all-night party with a friendly flight attendant named Katerina ( Nadine Velazquez) and jolts himself back into action with two lines of cocaine. His co-pilot ( Brian Geraghty) eyes him suspiciously, but Whip projects poise and authority from behind his dark aviator glasses. Advertisement Their flight takes off in a disturbing rainstorm and encounters the kind of turbulence that has the co-pilot crying out, \"\"Oh, Lord!\"\" But Whip powers them at high speed into an area of clear sky, before a mechanical malfunction sends the aircraft into an uncontrollable nosedive. Zemeckis and his team portray the terror in the cabin in stomach-churning style. Acting on instinct, seeming cool as ice, the veteran pilot inverts the plane to halt its descent, and it flies level upside-down until he rights it again to glide into a level crash-landing in an open field. The field, as it happens, is next to a little church, and the way Zemeckis portrays an outdoor baptism on the ground below captures the hyper-realism with which I imagine we notice things when we think we're about to die."

At the time, the training center was located two hours away from Roger's home in a part of Switzerland that spoke mostly French. Federer trained there for three years until a new facility was opened closer to his home in Biel. Peter Carter was one of the instructors at the new training center and his guidance helped Federer quickly rise up the world's top junior rankings.

Read more about this fascinating structure and how it makes and distributes the products that cells need to function correctly. Definition of the Smooth ERThe smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or smooth ER, is an organelle found in both animal cells and plant cells. An organelle is a sub-unit within a cell that has a specialized function. The main function of the smooth ER is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids. It also distributes those products throughout the cell and to places in the organism. The smooth ER also regulates and releases calcium ions and processes toxins. It is described as 'smooth' to distinguish it from rough ER, which has ribosomes for protein synthesis on its surface. Each organelle in the cytoplasm of a cell is responsible for performing a certain function. Rough and smooth ER each manufacture different products for the cell."

"text": "Endoplasmic Reticulum Function A crucial organelle in eukaryotic cells is the endoplasmic reticulum. This article explores the role played by it in different cells. As biologists probed deeper into the microcosm of cells, they found an entire autonomous biological system, with many organelles that served various functions. The trio consisting of Keith R. Porter, Ernest F. Fullam, and Albert Claude discovered the endoplasmic reticulum and published their research, in 1945. It was a very important discovery, as this cell organelle plays a major role in the functioning of every eukaryotic cell. About Endoplasmic Reticulum The first of the two words - ' endoplasmic ' (endo = inside ) means that this organelle is contained within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell. The second word ' reticulum ' means that this is a type of network that is spread within the cell cytoplasm. The whole endoplasmic reticulum is a continuously connected network of tubules, cisterns, and vesicles that is spread throughout the cytoplasm and is covered with a special membrane. The whole assembly takes up 10% of the total cell volume. Its internal space is called lumen."

Report abuse Transcript of The Structure & Function of the Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum If a polypeptide is translocated into the ER from a membrane bound ribosome it is known as co-translational translocation [3]. The folding of a polypeptide into its correct three dimensional protein structure is mediated by molecular chaperones [2.3]. Chaperones bind to unfolded polypeptides, stabilising them to prevent incorrect folding [2,3]. One of the primary chaperone proteins is binding immunoglobulin protein (Bi P: Figure 4). Bi P belongs to a heat sensitive protein family (Hsp70) and has both a protein binding and an ATPase domain [3,6]. Bi P is also used to seal the translocon pore when not occupied by a ribosome [6]. If a polypeptide is incorporated into the ER from a free ribosome it is known as post-translational translocation [3]. INTRODUCTION The endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous organelle which is found in all eukaryotic cells [2,5] and comprises half of its total membrane area, as well as occupying 10% of the total cell volume [3,4]. The ER is a system of branching tubules and flattened sacs which extend throughout the cytosol [2]. It is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane [2,5,12]. The endoplasmic reticulum is the largest organelle in a eukaryotic cell [3]. Within the membrane is the ER lumen or the ER cisternal space which differs greatly from the cytosolic space [2]. The ER has many different functions, including: Translocation of proteins (such as secretory proteins) across the ER membrane [2,4] Integration of proteins into the plasma membrane [21] Folding and modification of proteins in the ER lumen [2,4] Synthesis of phospholipids and steroids on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane [2,4] Storage of calcium ion in the lumen and their regulated release into the cytosol [2,4] Carbohydrate metabolism [4] The main advantage of having an endoplasmic reticulum is that it provides a separate chemical environment which allows for correct protein folding. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is highly curved and tubular [12]. It forms an interconnecting system of pipelines which form a network throughout the cytoplasm [12]. The lipid composition of the ER membrane is different to that of other cell compartments. It has a large abundance of phosphatidylcholine and a very low concentration of cholesterol. It is also very fluid and discorded due to its large proportion of unsaturated fatty acids [4]. INTERESTING FACT! In plant cells, the ER forms one continuum throughout the plant, via tubular connections between adjacent cells called plasmodesmata [5]. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is more prominent in some cells than in others, depending on cell function [2]. One cell type that contains a large quantity of smooth ER is the hepatocyte. Found in the liver, these cells are heavily involved in processes that take place in the smooth ER so need an expanded ER to accommodate more enzymes [2]. Some examples of hepatocyte function include: Lipid and lipoprotein production [12] Lipid metabolism [2] Detoxification of lipid-soluble drugs [12] Steroid production and hormone synthesis (also occurs in endocrine cells) [12] The endoplasmic reticulum synthesises nearly all of the major classes of lipids, (including phospholipids and cholesterol), but their main product is phosphatidylcholine [2]. The enzymes are in the ER membrane facing the cytosol where their substrates are present [2]. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum sequesters almost all of the Ca from the cytosol [2,12]. More Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum 2+ The smooth ER sequesters Ca2+ ions from the cytosol for storage in the ER lumen. This is achieved via a Ca2+ pump and high concentrations of calcium-binding proteins within the lumen. The endoplasmic reticulum membrane is also poorly permeable to calcium ions which stops them from leaking back into the cytosol."

"text": "\"The Cytoplasm and Cellular Organelles Now that you have learned that the cell membrane surrounds all cells, you can dive inside of a prototypical human cell to learn about its internal components and their functions. All living cells in multicellular organisms contain an internal cytoplasmic compartment, and a nucleus within the cytoplasm. Cytosol, the jelly-like substance within the cell, provides the fluid medium necessary for biochemical reactions. Eukaryotic cells, including all animal cells, also contain various cellular organelles. An organelle (“little organ”) is one of several different types of membrane-enclosed bodies in the cell, each performing a unique function. Just as the various bodily organs work together in harmony to perform all of a human’s functions, the many different cellular organelles work together to keep the cell healthy and performing all of its important functions. The organelles and cytosol, taken together, compose the cell’s cytoplasm. The nucleus is a cell’s central organelle, which contains the cell’s DNA ( [link] ). Prototypical Human Cell While this image is not indicative of any one particular human cell, it is a prototypical example of a cell containing the primary organelles and internal structures. Organelles of the Endomembrane System A set of three major organelles together form a system within the cell called the endomembrane system."

Humans are multicellular organisms with various different types of cells that work together to sustain life. Other non-cellular components in the body include water, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) and electrolytes. A collection of cells that function together to perform the same activity is known as tissue. Masses of tissue work collectively to form an organ that performs specific functions in the body. Despite this structural organization, all activity boils down to the cell – a complex unit that makes life possible. Parts of the Human Cell The cell contains various structural components to allow it to maintain life which are known as organelles. All the organelles are suspended within a gelatinous matrix, the cytoplasm, which is contained within the cell membrane. One of the few cells in the human body that lacks almost all organelles are the red blood cells.

It is connected to the nuclear envelope. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is found in a variety of cell types (both animal and plant) and it serves different functions in each. The Smooth ER also contains the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphatase which converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose, a step in gluconeogenesis. Smooth ER consists of tubules and vesicles that branch forming a network. In some cells there are dilated areas like the sacs of rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Within each cell it is a widely distributed membrane structure that serves as the the site for modification of proteins, manufacture of macromolecules and lipids, and the transfers substances throughout the cell. The ER is also the site of protein translation and protein folding. It is involved in other processes as well, such as the transport of those proteins that are to become part of the cell membrane (e.g., transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins) and the transport of proteins that are to be secreted, or exocytosed, from the cell (e.g., digestive enzymes ). The basic structure and composition of the ER is similar to the plasma membrane, although it is actually an extension of the nuclear membrane, which encloses genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The ER is part of the endomembrane system, which is the system of internal membranes within eukaryotic cells that divides the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. Endoplasmic reticulum literally means \"\"little net within the cytoplasm\"\" ( endoplasmic means \"\"within the cytoplasm,\"\" while reticulum means \"\"little net\"\"). Prokaryotic organisms do not have membranous organelles and thus do not have an ER. The endoplasmic reticulum is yet another small organelle that reveals the intricacy, complexity, and harmony of the universe. Protein folding to assume the proper functional shape is a poorly understood process in which the endoplasmic reticulum somehow central plays a role."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses of \"\"Celadon\"\", see Celadon (disambiguation). Celadon Chinese Longquan celadon from Zhejiang, Song Dynasty, 13th century Chinese name Traditional Chinese 青瓷Simplified Chinese 青瓷 [ show] Transcriptions Korean name Hangul 청자Hanja 靑瓷 [ show] Transcriptions Japanese name Kanji 青磁Hiragana せいじ [ show] Transcriptions Celadon is a term for pottery denoting both wares glazed in the jade green celadon color, also known as greenware (the term specialists now tend to use) [1] and a type of transparent glaze, often with small cracks, that was first used on greenware, but later used on other porcelains. Celadon originated in China, though the term is purely European, and notable kilns such as the Longquan kiln in Zhejiang province are renowned for their celadon glazes. [ 2] Celadon production later spread to other regions in Asia, such as Japan, Korea [3] and Thailand. Eventually European potteries produced some pieces, but it was never a major element there. Finer pieces are in porcelain, but both the color and the glaze can be produced in stoneware and earthenware. Most of the earlier Longquan celadon is on the border of stoneware and porcelain, meeting the Chinese but not the European definitions of porcelain. For many centuries, celadon wares were highly regarded by the Chinese Imperial court, before being replaced in fashion by painted wares, especially the new blue and white porcelain under the Yuan dynasty. The similarity of the color to jade, traditionally the most highly valued material in China, was a large part of its attraction. Celadon continued to be produced in China at a lower level, often with a conscious sense of reviving older styles."

It is one of many unrelated edible bivalves that in the United States are frequently referred to simply as clams, as in the expression \"\" clam digging \"\". Older literature sources may use the systematic name Venus mercenaria; this species is in the family Veneridae, the venus clams. Confusingly, the \"\"ocean quahog\"\" is a different species, Arctica islandica, which, although superficially similar in shape, is in a different family of bivalves: it is rounder than the hard clam, usually has black periostracum, and there is no pallial sinus in the interior of the shell.

"text": "Why do Brazilians speak Portuguese Posted by Transparent Language on Aug 15, 2007 in Geography People speak Portuguese in Brazil because Brazil was a Portuguese colony. Though this fact is well-known in some circles (loyal blog readers and Portuguese language learners, for example), one may be surprised how many well-educated people either don’t know that Portuguese is spoken in Brazil, or don’t know why! It is actually pretty common to hear “Oh, you are going to Brazil? How great! Do you speak Spanish?”, even from relatively wordly individuals; I certainly have heard this one many times!In any case, on to the task at hand, which is to provide a useful summary of the events leading to Brazilians speaking Portuguese…European discovery of Brazil occurred at the beginning of the 16th century, common era. The Portuguese court became interested in exporing the natural resources of Brazil beginning around 1530. Early efforts to find precious metals were unsuccessful, but agriculture (particularly sugar) became a valuable Brazilian export for the Portuguese crown. By the end of the 18th century, private explorers had located vast mineral reserves in Minas Gerais (Uai!) much the the crown’s delight."

"text": "\"Enlarge this image Officers transfer confiscated weapons after a news conference to announce the arrests of scores of alleged gang members and associates on federal racketeering and drug-trafficking charges in Lakewood, Calif., in 2009. David Mc New/Getty Images After the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., President Obama asked Vice President Biden to lead a group tasked with drafting policies to reduce gun violence. One of the issues sure to come up in the Biden group's discussions is the role of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The ATF is the primary enforcer of the nation's gun laws, but advocates and former ATF officials say the agency has been underfunded, understaffed and handcuffed in its abilities to go after gun crimes. In an ad campaign launched Tuesday by the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Roxanna Green, whose child was killed two years ago, appeals directly to the camera: \"\"My 9-year-old daughter was murdered in the Tucson shooting. I have one question for our political leaders: When will you find the courage to stand up to the gun lobby? \"\" Standing up to the gun lobby is seen by gun control advocates to mean not only banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines, but restoring some teeth to the ATF. \"\" The restrictions on ATF are absurd,\"\" says Jon Lowy of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. \"\" They're not allowed to use computers in doing their trace work. They're not allowed to do more than one spot inspection on a gun dealer. \"\""

"text": "\"Royal Conservatory of Music The Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto Conservatory of Music 1886-1947; Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto 1947-91). The Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto Conservatory of Music 1886-1947; Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto 1947-91). Incorporated in Toronto 20 Nov 1886 and opened in September the following year with an initial enrolment of more than 100 students (283 by the end of the first quarter) and a staff of some 50 teachers. Edward Fisher, who had been a leading figure in its organization, became the first music director, and Marion Ferguson registered the students. The conservatory quickly became the most prominent in Canada and one of the important music-training institutions of the British Empire, establishing its pre-eminence through professional training, a nationwide examining system, and a faculty that provided much of the leadership for the growth and development of music in Canada. Although in the 1960s and 1970s its programs had to accommodate major changes in the development of music in higher education, the conservatory has continued to play an important role in the musical life of Canada. History of The Royal Conservatory of Music Founding Years In 1887 instruction was offered in practical and theoretical music as well as elocution, foreign languages, public school music, acoustics, piano tuning, and vocal anatomy and hygiene. Teachers were available for saxophone (1888) and for guitar and zither (1893). At this time Toronto's musical life enjoyed a vigorous rivalry among several music schools and the aspiring figures associated with them. The Toronto Conservatory of Music (TCM), as it was first named, was affiliated 1888-1904 with the University of Trinity College and with the University of Toronto in 1896 for the purpose of preparing candidates for university degree examinations."

"text": "\"Stream or buy on: Genre Pop/Rock Styles Folk-Rock Psychedelic/Garage British Invasion Song Moods Carefree Delicate Yearning Bittersweet Innocent Lively Reflective Sentimental Wistful Song Themes Drinking Introspection Reflection Reminiscing Mary Hopkin Those Were the Days Composed by Gene Raskin Overview Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Song Review by Richie Unterberger\"\"Those Were the Days\"\" was an ultra-smash for Mary Hopkin in 1968, getting to #2 in the US (where it was kept out of #1 only by another of the first singles on the Apple label, the Beatles' \"\"Hey Jude\"\") and spending six straight weeks at #1 in the UK (where it actually knocked \"\"Hey Jude\"\" out of the #1 spot). Perhaps part of the key to its amazing success was its appeal to several different age groups: not just the rock'n'rolling teenagers who comprised a large part of the singles-buying audience in the late '60s, but also non-rock older listeners. And \"\"Those Were the Days\"\" became a pop standard of sorts because it was perhaps the ultimate song about nostalgia. For all of the above reasons, it hasn't been written about much by critics in subsequent decades, but the song did have substantial merits. Chief among them was its memorable sad tune, which seemed to owe a lot to Central or Eastern European gypsy music, particularly in the uptempo sections. It was also delivered with a certain bravado, counter to the bittersweet nostalgia of the lyrics, that could have made it into a staple of a Broadway musical had it ended up in such a production. It's a varied song for a single, alternating as it does between slow sentimental parts and an uptempo chorus that winds itself up into a faster frenzy like a Greek wedding dance. In one of his comedy routines, in fact, Robert Klein even specifically cited the chorus of \"\"Those Were the Days\"\" as a song that defied listeners not to clap along, even if their hands were tied behind their back. The arrangement was ingenious too, no doubt in part because of Paul Mc Cartney's production, with its combinations of saloon piano, weepy strings, hoe-down banjo, light theatrical orchestration, and dramatic choral backup vocals in the latter part of the song. And to add drama at that point, the tune swings upwards a few keys for the final verse, the massed voices ending in a particularly exultant, unexpected major chord."

Treatment focuses on insight, reassurance and protection of the ears. On this page: Symptoms of hyperacusis Impact of hyperacusis Causes of hyperacusis Diagnosis of hyperacusis Treatment for hyperacusis Where to get help Things to remember People with hyperacusis (one type of reduced tolerance to sound) often find ordinary noises too loud, while loud noises can cause discomfort and pain. Damage to the inner ear from ageing or exposure to loud noise is the most common cause. This condition is often associated with tinnitus (buzzing, ringing or whistling noises in the ears) and distortion, so that a pure tone may be split or jangling. Usually both ears are affected, although it is possible to have it in only one ear. Other types of reduced tolerance to sound include loudness recruitment and phonophobia. Symptoms of hyperacusis The onset can be gradual or sudden."

The College began as the Church Choral Society, whose diverse activities included choral singing classes and teaching instruction in church music. Gladstone was an early supporter during these years. A year later, in 1873, the college became the College of Church Music, London. In 1876 the college was incorporated as the Trinity College London. Initially, only male students could attend and they had to be members of the Church of England. In 1881, the College moved to Mandeville Place off Wigmore Street in Central London, which remained its home for over a hundred years."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Shostakovich\"\" redirects here. For the conductor and son of Dmitri Shostakovich, see Maxim Shostakovich. This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Dmitriyevich and the family name is Shostakovich. Shostakovich in 1950Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich ( Russian: Дми́трий Дми́триевич Шостако́вич ( help · info), tr. Dmitriy Dmitrievich Shostakovich, pronounced [ˈdmʲitrʲɪj ˈdmʲitrʲɪjɪvʲɪtɕ ʂəstɐˈkovʲɪtɕ]; 25 September [ O. S. 12 September] 1906 – 9 August 1975) was a Russian composer and pianist. He is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. [ 1]Shostakovich achieved fame in the Soviet Union under the patronage of Soviet chief of staff Mikhail Tukhachevsky, but later had a complex and difficult relationship with the government. Nevertheless, he received accolades and state awards and served in the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR (1947–1962) [ citation needed] and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union (from 1962 until his death). A polystylist, Shostakovich developed a hybrid voice, combining a variety of different musical techniques into his works. His music is characterized by sharp contrasts, elements of the grotesque, and ambivalent tonality; the composer was also heavily influenced by the neo-classical style pioneered by Igor Stravinsky, and (especially in his symphonies) by the late Romanticism associated with Gustav Mahler."

"text": "Alto in Treatises ALTO TROMBONE in TREATISES, DICTIONARIES, and METHODS1600-1925Introduction: Below is a chronological listing of what many written sources have recorded about the alto trombone throughout history, beginning in the 17th century and continuing through the first quarter of the 20th century. These sources offer much useful historical information about key, use of the instrument, clef, etc. Three things should be stipulated: 1) Not all sources are of equal importance. For example, Hector Berlioz’s treatise carries significantly more weight than that of William James Henderson. 2) Sources are often derivative. For example, much of the information in late 19th and early 20th century orchestration treatises derives from Berlioz’s treatise. While the fact that a particular source is derivative rather than strictly original may mitigate its historical worth to a certain extent, it can also illustrate influence. 3) Finally, it goes without saying that not all sources contain accurate information, which is one reason that looking at broad overall patterns (rather than falling in love with one or two favorite sources) can be useful. All of the below references are listed in the Alto Trombone Bibliography, most of them in the “Primary Sources” section.

"text": "How did Tchaikovsky really die? A STAFF REPORT FROM THE STRAIGHT DOPE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARDDecember 23, 2008Dear Straight Dope: Did Tchaikovsky commit suicide? D. Bringen Dex replies: As you may be aware, D., there are a couple of theories on this subject. The official story was always that the great Russian composer died of complications from cholera, and this version of events still has its adherents today. But rumors that he’d taken his own life have been around nearly since his death in 1893. And with the emergence of long-suppressed documents following the collapse of the Soviet Union, most Tchaikovsky scholars have come to accept a hypothesis first put forth in the late 1970s by the musicologist and archivist Alexandra Orlova – namely, that Tchaikovsky killed himself not strictly out of despondency but because he was coerced into it. His tormented life, as we currently understand it: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk, Russia. His childhood was miserable. Ilya Petrovich Tchaikovsky (1795-1880), his father, was a civil servant and member of the lesser nobility; his mother, Alexandra Andreyevna (1813-1854), hated living in a backwater town, and her unhappiness influenced young Tchaikovsky enormously. Shortly after the family moved to Moscow in 1848, they were ruined financially."

Belfast City Hall Belfast ( Irish: Béal Feirste, Béal meaning \"\"mouth\"\" and Feirste meaning \"\"sandbank\"\") is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland and the second largest city on the island of Ireland after Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland. Situated at the mouth of the River Lagan on Belfast Lough, Belfast is surrounded by low hills and has a population of 267,500. This figure refers only to the Belfast City Council area whose borders date back to the 1950s. Since then the city has expanded and the population of the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area which incorporates the surrounding suburbs and towns is 483,000. Understand [ edit]Belfast gained notoriety around the world during The Troubles (1969-1997) due to the frequency of gun and bomb attacks in the city. Parts of Belfast were effectively no-go areas for security forces and therefore took on a lawless quality. Today, the scars of Belfast's troubled past make it an intriguing destination for travellers from around the world. Since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, most of the politically-motivated violence has evaporated."

Whether you're here on a business trip, or enjoying a city break, try to make some time to stroll through the different neighborhoods, with somewhere to suit all kinds of travelers. Things to see If there's a big ice hockey or basketball game on, then the modern Air Canada Centre is the place to be, with thrilling NHL and NBA action from the local teams. Toronto is a sport obsessed city, and whether you share their enthusiasm, or simply want to soak up the lively atmosphere, catching a game is a great way to spend an evening. The center doubles up as a concert venue, with gigs from big name rock and pop acts packing out the stadium.

Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literarily means \"\"joy.\"\" His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place.

The building is a smaller replica of the Lomonosov University in Moskow - Russia (inaugurated in 1953). Between 1956 and 1989, the House of the Free Press housed almost all of Romania's capital printing presses and headquarters of print media companies. Today, Casa Presei Libere carries out much the same function but the southern wing is now the home of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

"text": "\"Singin' In The Rain (1952)Pages: ( 1) ( 2) ( 3)Background Singin' in the Rain (1952) is one of the most-loved and celebrated film musicals of all time from MGM, before a mass exodus to filmed adaptations of Broadway plays emerged as a standard pattern. It was made directly for film, and was not a Broadway adaptation. The joyous film, co-directed by Stanley Donen and acrobatic dancer-star-choreographer Gene Kelly, is a charming, up-beat, graceful and thoroughly enjoyable experience with great songs, lots of flashbacks, wonderful dances (including the spectacular Broadway Melody Ballet with leggy guest star Cyd Charisse), casting and story. This was another extraordinary example of the organic, 'integrated musical' in which the story's characters naturally express their emotions in the midst of their lives. Song and dance replace the dialogue, usually during moments of high spirits or passionate romance. And over half of the film - a 'let's put on a play' type of film, is composed of musical numbers. This superb film, called \"\"MGM's TECHNICOLOR Musical Treasure,\"\" was produced during MGM studios' creative pinnacle. From the late 1930s to the early 1960s, producer Arthur Freed produced more than forty musicals for MGM. The creative forces at the studio in the Freed Unit - composed of Freed, Vincente Minnelli, Stanley Donen, and actor/choreographer Gene Kelly - also collaborated together to produce such gems as Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), The Pirate (1948), On the Town (1949) , Best Picture Oscar-winner a year earlier with director Vincente Minnelli - An American in Paris (1951), Royal Wedding (1951), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Gigi (1958). Because the colorful, witty film is set in 1927, it humorously satirizes and parodies the panic surrounding the troubling transitional period from silents to talkies in the dream factory of Hollywood of the late 1920s as the sound revolution swept through."

He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, bolstered by his appearances as a guest conductor in Europe and the United States. Tchaikovsky was honored in 1884 by Emperor Alexander III, and awarded a lifetime pension. Although musically precocious, Tchaikovsky was educated for a career as a civil servant. There was scant opportunity for a musical career in Russia at that time and no system of public music education. When an opportunity for such an education arose, he entered the nascent Saint Petersburg Conservatory, from which he graduated in 1865. The formal Western-oriented teaching he received there set him apart from composers of the contemporary nationalist movement embodied by the Russian composers of The Five, with whom his professional relationship was mixed."

Irish GDP in June 2010 was €160bn and the balance sheet of the 6 domestically owned banks was €523bn according to the Department of Finance, giving a ratio of 327%. Euro Debt Crisis: Deutsche Bank Research says the reasons for the current woes of some Eurozone sovereigns on the capital markets differ from country to country. In the case of Greece, it was mainly a persistently unsound fiscal policy that led to a loss of confidence among investors, while in Ireland this was primarily due to a credit bubble which had inflated the size of the financial sector. Portugal didn't even have a mini-lending bubble. In Ireland, as we well know now, annual credit growth of 30% or more was bonkers and while there is currently a focus or hope that talks with the European Commission/European Central Bank/International Monetary Fund, will result in a 'haircut' or discount on bank bond debt, foreign deposits from institutional and corporates, also supported the boom edifice. It was striking during the boom years that among the major three Irish banks, the builders' bank Anglo Irish Bank invariably offered the highest deposit rates. It was likely making a loss on some of these deposits but it was presumably considered a good strategy as reported profits were for a decade among the best in European banking.

If you are a foreigner looking for jobs in Germany, it can be difficult to know where to start your job hunting, especially if you are restricted to English-speaking jobs in Germany. However, if you are well qualified with a degree or vocational qualification, have work experience and can speak at least some German, you stand a good chance of finding a job in Germany, especially in certain sectors with German worker shortages. Germany has the largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world, so there are plenty of jobs in Germany for foreigners with specialist skills, although casual work is also fairly easy to come by. It is also possible to find English-speaking jobs in Germany, although in most cases even a small amount of German will be required. This guide explains everything you need to work in Germany, including information on what jobs in Germany are available, shortage German jobs, German job websites and other places where you can find jobs in Germany for foreigners. German job guide: Requirements to work in Germany How to find jobs in Germany Work in Germany The job market in Germany Germany has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU, reaching a record low of 5.8 percent in March 2017, while in some parts of southern Germany, such as Bavaria (where you’ll find Munich), the unemployment rate is significantly lower. A study by the German Federal Institution for Population Research showed that a third of non-EU migrants in Germany in 2010/111 found work within 12 months, although this situation has significantly changed following Germany's refugee influx since 2015. However, if you are well qualified – with a university degree or a vocational qualification such as an apprenticeship – and have work experience and a basic knowledge of German, there are much higher chances of finding a job in Germany, where such qualities are valued.

Definition The United States Small Business Administration designates small and medium-scale businesses as SMEs, or small and medium-sized enterprises. The primary metrics used to determine whether a U. S. company is an SME or not is the amount of revenue the company earns per year and the size of its workforce. The North American Industry Classification System creates size standards for SMEs. For example, a soybean farm can earn up to $750,000 per year before it's no longer a SME. Similarly, an iron ore mining operation can employ up to 500 employees before it's no longer a SME. Creation Small and medium-scale industries are created in the U. S. through the state they call headquarters. Medium-sized industries apply through their state government, not the federal government, for such things as business licenses, name registration, zoning licenses and sales tax identification numbers."

However, one of the most important issues facing SMEs is their difficulty accessing finance. The European Commission works to improve the financing environment for small businesses in Europe. What the Commission does The Commission works with financial institutions to improve the funding available to SMEs by stimulating the provision of loans and venture capital through financial instruments. The Commission also helps EU countries share good policy on improving access to finance which allows them to benefit from the experience of others. Practical information for SMEs looking for financing EU financing programmes are generally not provided as direct funding. Aid is channelled through local, regional, or national authorities, or through financial intermediaries such as banks and venture capital organisations that provide funding through financial instruments. To find such intermediaries, visit the EU Access to Finance portal.

Reimann and Bettina A. Siggelkow | October 28, 2013The recent two decades have been a period of constant change for diesel fuel specifications. The main driving forces have been initiatives to reduce vehicle emissions and, later, efforts to find access to renewable and sustainable resources with the aim of minimizing diesel fuel’s CO2 footprint while at the same time becoming independent of fossil feedstocks. Europe has been at the forefront of this revolutionary trend and is still at the leading edge of these developments. Quota politics began in Europe in 2003 when the biofuel directive was issued by the European Parliament and Council. The biofuel directive required a minimum biofuel quota of 2 percent beginning in 2005 and envisaged a stepwise increase to 5.75 percent by 2010. However, revised regulations became more ambitious and in line with the current EU directives, leading to today’s biodiesel quota, which is now at 7 percent with the declared target of reaching 10 percent by 2020. The quotas did stipulate blends of mineral diesel and biodiesel, so at first the majority of biodiesel was sold as B100. Only later, when tax relaxations were alleviated, did selling standard B100 became unprofitable and refiners started using biodiesel as a blending component. The major part of the biodiesel quota in Europe is still covered by first-generation fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel, but recent fiscal legislation has made it possible for more second-generation biodiesel (HVO) to be brought into the market. Recent reconsiderations by the European council suggest capping the quota of edible vegetable oils processes to 6 percent with the gap in 2020 targets to be made up by alternative feedstock with no land use change/indirect land use change issues."

This type of agreement is somehow similar to subcontracting, since there is a hierarchy between the parties involved. Joint R&D [ edit]This is an agreement on cooperation between the parties on research and development on an equal level. It belongs to the group called horizontal agreements and has a specific EU/EEA legislation on it. R&D and Competition Rules [ edit]The joint R&D agreement may be subject to the competition rules. The European Commission and other EU/EEA institutions are encouraging R&D by making exceptions to the strict competition rules in a Regulation on a block exemption. The Regulation contains the information what should be avoided and provides a blacklist of provisions. The Regulation may not necessarily cover the entire agreement (e.g. price fixing, market sharing and limitation of production and others), due to the some restrictions on competition. However, the prohibition of the competition restrictions does not apply to the SMEs or to the firms having a low market share."

The need to include children in drug development has been recognised increasingly over the past few decades. Legal and regulatory frameworks are well established in the EU and US. The amount of work done to study medicines for children is significantly greater than it was 10 years go. Proof-of-concept has been demonstrated for all segments of the paediatric drug development pipeline. It is now time to examine how the practice of developing medicines for children has evolved within those frameworks and to determine how that work should be generalised. This review describes the development of medicines for children and critically appraises the work that has been done within those frameworks.

Solar panel installation is the answer! Residential solar panels are an affordable, clean and green source of energy for homes large and small. The Benefits of Installing Solar Panels Solar or photovoltaic panels decrease your home’s dependency on the main energy grid, and in turn your power bill. In fact, panels can produce more energy than your house needs. There’s no waste, though. When that happens, the excess electricity is sent back into the power grid. In many states, you are allowed to sell this extra power back to the utility company in a process called net metering, decreasing your bill even more. Advantages of solar power include: Lower electric bills Net metering: Sell your excess electricity to the utility company for even lower energy bills Environmental benefits: Reduce your carbon footprint, and run your home — and even your car — on clean, emission-free energy Increase your home’s resale value Take advantage of tax credits from the federal and state government Our Solar Panel Installation Process Unlike many electric shops and other companies that install solar on the side, solar is all we do.

The angle of the axis on which the Earth rotates is tilted from the angle at which the Earth orbits the sun: imagine the Earth standing straight up as it orbits the sun - but rotating on a slight lean. This is called the “axial tilt”. Figure 1: Description of relations between Axial tilt, rotation axis, plane of orbit, and equator.

Every day, light hits your roof's solar panels with photons (particles of sunlight). The solar panel converts those photons into electrons of direct current (\"\"DC\"\") electricity. The electrons flow out of the solar panel and into an inverter and other electrical safety devices. The inverter converts that \"\"DC\"\" power (commonly used in batteries) into alternating current or \"\"AC\"\" power. AC power is the kind of electrical that your television, computer, and toasters use when plugged into the wall outlet. A net energy meter keeps track of the all the power your solar system produces. Any solar energy that you do not use simultaneous with production will go back into the electrical grid through the meter. At night or on cloudy days, when your system is not producing more than your building needs, you will consume electricity from the grid as normal. Your utility will bill you for the \"\"net\"\" consumption for any given billing period and provide you with a dollar credit for any excess during a given period."

"text": "How much does it cost to install solar panels? In recent years, the price of solar panels has become far more affordable. Solar panels effectively make electricity by utilizing the sun’s energy. The panels are made up of many photovoltaic cells that are linked together and work in unison. Sunlight shines onto the panels and the cells within the panels convert the light into usable energy. The energy is then sent onwards to an inverter which converts it to electricity. An average household in the United States consumes about 1 k W per hour (k Wh) of electricity. Each 30-day month has 720 hours and the average price of 1 k W is $0.10. A solar panel has the capability of generating 10 kilowatts per square foot. For every k W generated, you will need 100 square feet of solar panels to power 100 square feet of home space."

"text": "\"How Does Solar Cooking Work? Solar cooking is done by means of the suns UV rays. A solar cooker lets the UV light rays in and then converts them to longer infrared light rays that cannot escape. Infrared radiation has the right energy to make the water, fat and protein molecules in food vibrate vigorously and heat up. It is not the sun’s heat that cooks the food, nor is it the outside ambient temperature, though this can somewhat affect the rate or time required to cook, but rather it is the suns rays that are converted to heat energy that cook the food; and this heat energy is then retained by the pot and the food by the means of a covering or lid. This occurs in much the same way that a greenhouse retains heat or a car with its windows rolled up. An effective solar cooker will use the energy of the sun to heat a cooking vessel and efficiently retain the energy (heat) for maximum cooking effectiveness. Solar Panel Cooker Solar Parabolic Cooker Solar Box Cooker How solar cooking works can best be explained through the following mental diagramming of the process as well as the above images. First, you would need a darkened or blackened pot with a lid. This can be a pot such as a cast iron Dutch oven, a black enameled roasting pan such as a chicken or turkey roaster or any pot that you might blacken on the outside with a non-toxic, weatherproof paint."

First, using the orbit of Pluto as the boundary, and second using the orbit of the farthest comets we know.1 - Orbit of Pluto To calculate this we will use the orbit of Pluto as the limit of the solar system. A problem is that the orbit of Pluto is not circular, it is rather an ellipse. All the planets orbit the Sun on ellipses. For most of the planets the ellipses are almost circles, but not for Pluto.

These atoms are all in the form of positive ions which means they have lost electrons because the temperature is so hot."

To do this I used a tool called a “solar path finder” which is a semi reflective dome that you position at the location, then snap a photo. The photo is then loaded into a program and spits out a whole bunch of calculations. Solar Path Finder So once you upload the image into the software and then trace the treeline outline, you enter in your location, date and time. It then can calculate how much power you’ll produce based on 30 years of weather patterns for your exact location and tree coverage. My reading with the pathfinder Then it spit out all the calculations: With that in mind I knew what I could expect out of the system I had designed. It also was a way to verify my assumptions. Once I verified that the system was going to be well suited to my needs I had to build my panel support racking."

"text": "CHOOSING THE BEST SOLAR PANELS – TIPSThe cost of solar panels in Australia has greatly reduced in recent years. These days, solar panels are priced anywhere from under a hundred dollars to upwards of five hundred dollars each ; depending on various factors. It’s very important when selecting the best solar panels to use for your solar power system installation to bear in mind a few crucial factors aside from the price tag. After all, your purchase decision is one you’ll be living with for a very long time and it should provide you with a good return on your investment. Don’t base a buying decision on solar panel cost alone – the following are a few tips for choosing the best modules for your installation situation. How much do solar panels cost? This depends on a number of factors – but generally speaking, in relation to modules suitable for use on a home and as part of a grid connect system installation; they cost a few hundred dollars each with subsidies taken into consideration. The cost of a solar panel is determined in part by its capacity (in Watts), the physical size, the brand, quality of materials, the durability / longevity (or warranty period) and any certifications the solar panel might have. The price you’ll pay will also depend on the number of panels as part of a package if you’re buying a full system. The more modules in the system, the less cost per unit (generally speaking)."

When you have this kind of raw date data, you will need to manipulate the input data to look like a date, before inserting it into a date/time column. A good example of a date format that is not recognized by SQL Server is an 8 digit date in MMDDYYYY format, this 8 character date format is not recognized by SQL Server as a date. In order to get the MMDDYYYY date into SQL Server you will need to convert it to a format that SQL Server knows is a date, like 'MM-DD-YYYY'. Let's look at ways to convert date/time data into a format that SQL Server can recognize. As mentioned above a string in MMDDYYYY format, like '10301956' would not be accepted by SQL Server as a date. Therefore, if your input date was in this format you would need to stuff a couple of dashes into your data to make SQL Server recognize this as a date. There are a number of ways to do this. Here is some code that shows two different ways, there are many more. The first example uses the STUFF function to insert dashes in the appropriate place within the input date, while the second example uses the SUBSTRING and concatination ('+') function."

"text": "\"Creating a PHP date in the format for a SQL Timestamp insert By Alvin Alexander. Last updated: June 29 2017PHP date/time FAQ: How do I create a date in the proper format to insert a SQL Timestamp field into a SQL database? First off, you may not need to create a date in PHP like this. If you're using plain old PHP and a database like My SQL, you can use the SQL 'now ()' function to insert data into a SQL timestamp field, like this: INSERT INTO projects (user_id, name, last_updated, date_created) VALUES (5, 'alvin', now (), now ());I just tested this with PHP and My SQL, and it works fine. So if all you really needed to know was how to populate a SQL timestamp field in a SQL INSERT query, that's probably the easiest way to go. Creating a PHP timestamp variable However, if you want to do this all in PHP (or need to, depending on what framework you're working with), you can get the current date and time in the proper format using just PHP, like this:$timestamp = date ('Y-m-d G:i:s');If you print this out, your $timestamp field will now contain contents like this:2011-08-06 14:54:17You can then use this formatted timestamp string in a PHP My SQL insert. A Drupal 7 SQL INSERT with Timestamp example Although this isn't a standard, off the shelf PHP/My SQL insert statement, here's what a SQL INSERT query looks like when I use this with Drupal 7:$project = new std Class (); $project->user_id = get_user_id (); $project->project_count_type = $form_state ['values'] ['type']; $project->name = $form_state ['values'] ['name']; $project->description = $form_state ['values'] ['description']; # get the current time in the proper format for a sql timestamp field $timestamp = date ('Y-m-d G:i:s'); # new drupal 7 style insert $id = db_insert ('projects') ->fields (array ( 'user_id' => $project->user_id, 'project_count_type' => $project->project_count_type, 'name' => $project->name, 'description' => $project->description, 'last_updated' => $timestamp , 'date_created' => $timestamp )) ->execute ();As you can see in the lines I've made bold, I'm inserting my timestamp variable into two SQL fields. Getting a timestamp for some other date and time Note that the PHP date function defaults to the current date and time. This is exactly what I need for my purposes here. If you need to create a formatted timestamp field for some other date and time, you can do that something like this:$timestamp = date ('Y-m-d G:i:s', mktime (0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));Here are some other mktime examples:$tomorrow = mktime (0, 0, 0, date (\"\"m\"\") , date (\"\"d\"\")+1, date (\"\"Y\"\")); $lastmonth = mktime (0, 0, 0, date (\"\"m\"\")-1, date (\"\"d\"\"), date (\"\"Y\"\")); $nextyear = mktime (0, 0, 0, date (\"\"m\"\"), date (\"\"d\"\"), date (\"\"Y\"\")+1);I pulled those examples from the PHP date page."

SQL injection is a code injection technique, used to attack data-driven applications, in which nefarious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker). [ 1] SQL injection must exploit a security vulnerability in an application's software, for example, when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed. SQL injection is mostly known as an attack vector for websites but can be used to attack any type of SQL database. SQL injection attacks allow attackers to spoof identity, tamper with existing data, cause repudiation issues such as voiding transactions or changing balances, allow the complete disclosure of all data on the system, destroy the data or make it otherwise unavailable, and become administrators of the database server. In a 2012 study, it was observed that the average web application received 4 attack campaigns per month, and retailers received twice as many attacks as other industries.

The first index created on a view must be a unique clustered index. After the unique clustered index has been created, you can create more nonclustered indexes. Creating a unique clustered index on a view improves query performance because the view is stored in the database in the same way a table with a clustered index is stored. The query optimizer may use indexed views to speed up the query execution. The view does not have to be referenced in the query for the optimizer to consider that view for a substitution. Before You Begin The following steps are required to create an indexed view and are critical to the successful implementation of the indexed view: Verify the SET options are correct for all existing tables that will be referenced in the view.

On top of the API provided by PDO there are tons of convenience functions in Doctrine DBAL. Data Retrieval Using a database implies retrieval of data. It is the primary use-case of a database. For this purpose each database vendor exposes a Client API that can be integrated into programming languages. PHP has a generic abstraction layer for this kind of API called PDO (PHP Data Objects). However because of disagreements between the PHP community there are often native extensions for each database vendor that are much more maintained (OCI8 for example). Doctrine DBAL API builds on top of PDO and integrates native extensions by wrapping them into the PDO API as well. If you already have an open connection through the Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver Manager::get Connection () method you can start using this API for data retrieval easily."

For example by using a libname with the ORACLE engine. If so then SAS will have already converted the invalid dates that you have in your date variable in Oracle into missing values. You will not be able to tell the difference between a value that Oracle considers null and one in that strange date format with zeros both will stored as SAS missing values.libname mylib oracle .... ;proc sql ;create table nodates asselect * from mylib.tablexwhere date is missing;quit;View solution in original post Message 8 of 8 (7,212 Views)Likes All Replies Linlin Super Contributor Posts: 1,636Re: Retrieve null date from table Options Posted in reply to dash12-12-2012 11:01 AMtry:proc sql;select date from tablexwhere date =. ;/* or date=' ' if date is character variable*/quit;Message 2 of 8 (3,675 Views)Likesdash Contributor Posts: 27Re: Retrieve null date from table Options Posted in reply to Linlin12-12-2012 11:13 AMThanks Linin.

There are three ways of returning data from a procedure to a calling program: result sets, output parameters, and return codes. This topic provides information on the three approaches. Returning Data Using Result Sets If you include a SELECT statement in the body of a stored procedure (but not a SELECT ... INTO or INSERT ... SELECT), the rows specified by the SELECT statement will be sent directly to the client. For large result sets the stored procedure execution will not continue to the next statement until the result set has been completely sent to the client. For small result sets the results will be spooled for return to the client and execution will continue. If multiple such SELECT statements are run during the exeuction of the stored proceudre, multiple result sets will be sent to the client. This behavior also applies to nested TSQL batches, nested stored procedures and top-level TSQL batches. Examples of Returning Data Using a Result Set The following example shows a stored procedure that returns the Last Name and Sales YTD values for all Sales Person rows that also appear in the v Employee view. USE Adventure Works2012; GO IF OBJECT_ID ('Sales.usp Get Employee Sales YTD', 'P') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE Sales.usp Get Employee Sales YTD; GO CREATE PROCEDURE Sales.usp Get Employee Sales YTD AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT Last Name, Sales YTD FROM Sales."

"text": "Top 10 Common Transformations in SSISAugust 22, 2013By Anoop Kumar Send Email »More Articles »Tweet Transformation in SSISSQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) has transformations, which are key components to the Data Flow, that transform the data to a desired format as data moves from one step to another step. Transformation in SSIS is all done in-memory; after adding a transformation the data is altered and passed down the path in the Data Flow. In SSIS, transformations are available in two main categories--Synchronous and Asynchronous. During ETL design it’s recommended to use all Synchronous transformation components. The CIO's Guide to UEM: 10 Critical Decision Points Download Now Synchronous are components like the Conditional Split or Derived Column Transformation where rows flow into memory buffers in the transformation and the same buffers come out. No rows are held and characteristically these transformations perform very quickly with marginal impact to Data Flow. Asynchronous transformation has two types, fully blocking and partial blocking. Partial blocking transformation is that transformation which creates new memory buffers for the output of the transformation than what come into the transformation, like Union All Transformation; fully blocking transformations also require a new memory buffer similar to partial blocking. Asynchronous transformations additionally cause a full block of the data like Sort and Aggregate transformations. Post a comment Email Article Print Article Share Articles Let’s take a quick deep dive with some important SSIS transformations under both categories, Synchronous and Asynchronous, which can be useful to manage and transform data during ETL execution."

They can range from simple data conversions to extremely complex data scrubbing techniques. Many, if not all, data transformations can occur within an Oracle database, although transformations are often implemented outside of the database (for example, on flat files) as well. This chapter introduces techniques for implementing scalable and efficient data transformations within the Oracle Database. The examples in this chapter are relatively simple. Real-world data transformations are often considerably more complex. However, the transformation techniques introduced in this chapter meet the majority of real-world data transformation requirements, often with more scalability and less programming than alternative approaches. This chapter does not seek to illustrate all of the typical transformations that would be encountered in a data warehouse, but to demonstrate the types of fundamental technology that can be applied to implement these transformations and to provide guidance in how to choose the best techniques. Transformation Flow From an architectural perspective, you can transform your data in two ways: Multistage Data Transformation Pipelined Data Transformation Multistage Data Transformation The data transformation logic for most data warehouses consists of multiple steps. For example, in transforming new records to be inserted into a sales table, there may be separate logical transformation steps to validate each dimension key."

"text": "Illustration: ilovedust By Adam Lashinsky May 9, 2011Apple doesn’t often fail, and when it does, it isn’t a pretty sight at 1 Infinite Loop. In the summer of 2008, when Apple (aapl, -2.47%) launched the first version of its i Phone that worked on third-generation mobile networks, it also debuted Mobile Me, an e-mail system that was supposed to provide the seamless synchronization features that corporate users love about their Black Berry smartphones. Mobile Me was a dud. Users complained about lost e-mails, and syncing was spotty at best. Though reviewers gushed over the new i Phone, they panned the Mobile Me service. Steve Jobs doesn’t tolerate duds. Shortly after the launch event, he summoned the Mobile Me team, gathering them in the Town Hall auditorium in Building 4 of Apple’s campus, the venue the company uses for intimate product unveilings for journalists. According to a participant in the meeting, Jobs walked in, clad in his trademark black mock turtleneck and blue jeans, clasped his hands together, and asked a simple question:“Can anyone tell me what Mobile Me is supposed to do?” Having received a satisfactory answer, he continued, “So why the fuck doesn’t it do that?”For the next half-hour Jobs berated the group. “ You’ve tarnished Apple’s reputation,” he told them. “"

"text": "\"Rumble Fish S. E. Hinton 1975Introduction Author Biography Plot Summary Characters Themes Style Historical Context Critical Overview Criticism Sources Further Reading Introduction S. E. Hinton's third novel, Rumble Fish (1975), is similar to her first two novels, The Outsiders and That Was Then, This Is Now, in that it stars a troubled teenager from a precarious background and is told from a young man's point of view. However, it's different from the two previous books because they both featured teenagers who were more intelligent and sensitive than their peers and who were wiser by the end of the book. In contrast, in Rumble Fish Rusty-James is a victim of circumstance in a story that does not provide much hope for his future. Like Hinton's other books, this novel helped to shape the young adult genre, moving it toward realism and away from the wholesome, overly nice story lines that had prevailed before Hinton began writing her gritty tales. Hinton's style has been widely imitated by other writers since her debut in 1967. The book was an ALA Best Book for Young Adults in 1975, was listed as one of the Best Books of the Year by School Library Journal in 1975, and won a Land of Enchantment Book Award from the New Mexico Library Association in 1982. In 1988, Hinton was awarded the Margaret A. Edwards Award for her body of work. Author Biography Susan Eloise Hinton was born in 1950 (some sources say 1948) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her first book, The Outsiders, was published when she was seventeen. A tomboy, Hinton wrote the book because the teen books then available were too wholesome and sweet for her tastes."

If it didn't work, try to change the name of the One Note file, seems you stored the file in U:\\Data\\Documentatie\\QNAP. Try to rename the 'terase' folder to another name, such as One Note 2013, and then try to create a new notebook to check the result.

After changing the band's name to Saratoga, they started playing Livgren's original material with Scott Kessler playing bass and Zeke Lowe on drums. In 1970 they changed the band's name to Kansas and merged with members of rival Topeka progressive rock group White Clover. White Clover members Dave Hope (bass) and Phil Ehart (drums, percussion) joined with Livgren, vocalists Meredith and Greg Allen, keyboardists Montre and Wright and saxophonist Larry Baker. [ 3] This early Kansas group, which lasted until early 1971 when Ehart, Hope and some of the others left to re-form White Clover, is sometimes referred to as Kansas I.

Saint Stephen is considered the very first Christian martyr in Roman Catholic tradition, so it was he who popularized the name Stephen among pious Christians for centuries thereafter. Stephen's name comes from the Greek word “stephanos” meaning “garland crown” because he was the first disciple of Jesus to receive the martyr's crown. His story is told in Acts 6:8-8:2: The apostles ordained seven deacons to look after the care of widows and the poor, and of these chosen administrators, Stephen was the most famous. He was known for his eloquence and wisdom which inspired many followers of Jesus. As a result of Stephen’s successful missionaries, he attracted the notice of some very bad men. They accused Stephen of blasphemy against Moses and God in front of an assembly of men which Stephen faced bravely (legend has it that his face took on the formation of an angel). The men exacted the requisite ancient punishment of stoning to death. In his parting words, Stephen asked only for his enemies’ salvation: “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” [Acts 7:60]. As it turned out, Stephen’s public stoning had the opposite effect the executioners had intended because many Christ followers fled from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria fearing for their lives, taking with them a belief system that had previously been confined to Jerusalem. As the first Christian martyr, Stephen’s feast day comes right after Jesus’ on December 26."

It is particularly significant to Christians, as it belonged to Saint Stephen (Greek Στέφανος Stéphanos ), an early disciple and deacon who, according to the Book of Acts, was stoned to death; he is widely regarded as the first martyr (or \"\" protomartyr \"\") of the Christian Church. The name \"\"Stephen\"\" (and its more common variant \"\"Steven\"\") [1] is derived from Greek Στέφανος ( Stéphanos ), a first name from the Greek word στέφανος ( stéphanos ), meaning \"\"wreath, crown\"\" and by extension \"\"reward, honor\"\", from the verb στέφειν ( stéphein ), \"\"to encircle, to wreathe\"\". [ 2] [3] In Ancient Greece, crowning wreaths (such as laurel wreaths) were given to the winners of contests. Originally, as the verb suggests, the noun had a more general meaning of any \"\"circle\"\"—including a circle of people, a circling wall around a city, and, in its earliest recorded use, the circle of a fight, which is found in the Iliad of Homer. [ 4]The name, in both the forms Stephen and Steven, is commonly shortened to Steve or Stevie. In English, the female version of the name is \"\" Stephanie \"\". Many surnames are derived from the first name, including Stephens, Stevens, Stephenson, and Stevenson, all of which mean \"\"Stephen's (son)\"\"."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Languages Popular Japanese Baby Names Share Flipboard Email Printby Namiko Abe Updated July 24, 2017People often ask what a Japanese name means. This is not an easy question to answer, as they are not as simple as English names. Japanese names are usually written in kanji, though some names are written in hiragana or even katakana, a style that's more typically used for words of non-Japanese origin. Kanji Characters for Names Each kanji character has its own meaning. Since there are thousands of kanji to choose from, even the same phonetically-sounding name can be written with many different kanji combinations. Depending on which characters are used, the meaning of the name differs. Therefore it is hard to know what characters are used for a name and what the meaning of a name is just by its pronunciation. For example, \"\"Keiko\"\" is a popular name for a female baby. (\"\" Ko \"\", meaning child, is often used at the end of female names.) Despite the seeming simplicity of the name, there are more than 70 different ways to write \"\"Keiko\"\" in kanji."

A parent’s love for their children is unparalleled, so when a child goes missing it destroys the lives of those parents who loved and cherished their offspring so dearly, and often captures the undivided attention of a whole country, or even the world. This list takes a look at 10 tragic cases of missing children. For obvious reasons, the word ‘top’ has not been included in the title as each one of these is as heartbreaking and catastrophic as the next.10Steven Stayner Steven Gregory Stayner (April 18, 1965 – September 16, 1989) was an American kidnap victim. Stayner was abducted from the Central California city and county of Merced, at the age of seven and held until he was 14, when he escaped and rescued another victim, Timothy White, in 1980. Stayner died in 1989 in a motorcycle accident while driving home from work. On the afternoon of December 4, 1972, Steven Stayner was approached on his way home from school by a man named Ervin Edward Murphy, an acquaintance of Kenneth Parnell. Murphy, described by those who knew him as a trusting, naïve and simple-minded man, had been enlisted by convicted child rapist Parnell (who had passed himself off as an aspiring minister to Murphy) into helping him abduct a young boy so that Parnell could “raise him in a religious-type deal,” as Murphy later stated. For years Parnell abused Steven and told him that he had legally adopted him. As Steven entered puberty, Parnell began to look for a younger child to kidnap."

For the majority of 2018, your planetary ruler, Jupiter, prances across the Scorpio sky, a motion that reverberates throughout your deeply psychological twelfth house. The twelfth house is associated with psychic powers, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. When abundant Jupiter illuminates this ethereal domain, you are guaranteed to find success in your self-actualizing pursuits. All planets go backward, but this year, pay extra close attention to your planetary ruler’s retrograde, which may fog up your rose-tinted glasses. From March 8 through July 10, Jupiter cruises in reverse, which may cause you to second-guess your intuition. Don’t be afraid to take time to rest and reflect, Sagittarius.

Sagittarians are direct and forthright, good-natured and affirmative in their outlook. They tend to speak with a blunt tongue, which can get them into trouble at times, although they are usually able to laugh themselves out of it. Sagittarians display honesty and a strong moral nature.

They are likely to be very curious about the world around them, with a love for nature and a contagious enthusiasm for exploration of all kinds.

"text": "\"The fire signs of the zodiac – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius – share a lot in common with one another, but they’re also very different. It’s important to consider these differences when thinking about horoscope sign compatibility for any fire sign – but do remember, an astrological compatibility chart is not based on sun signs alone. What makes these wild children of the zodiac tick, and what do they each need from a relationship? Aries is the first fire sign, and indeed the first sign of the zodiac. That should give you a clue – Aries simply has to be first, and best, at everything. Aries is a cardinal fire sign, cardinal meaning that the underlying energy here is “to start, to initiate, to begin”. When there’s a lot of Aries in a horoscope, sign compatibility is best with a partner who loves this unbridled energy and enthusiasm. With being first, however, also comes a large helping of selfishness, and Aries can indeed be the most self-centred sign of all, and one of the sulkiest if they don’t get their own way. Because they don’t think things through first and simply have to act now, Aries people are also rather reckless. Some people find that exciting in a partner."

Teacher-Pupil Karmic Link For a start, it helps that as neighboring signs, they share a karmic link. That might explain what brings this couple together in the first place, because the attraction is not obvious. The Sagittarius woman is free spirited, restless and uninhibited – almost the exact opposite of her Capricorn man, who is staid, conservative, traditional and emotionally uptight. And yet the couple are drawn to each other. Although they would probably never admit it, it’s because each partner has something the other partner envies – and this is how Capricorn man Sagittarius woman compatibility is born. The Capricorn man, deep deep down, envies the Sagittarius woman’s freewheeling approach to life. He wishes he could be so irresponsible sometimes, and he admires her sense of joy.

"text": "Libra Woman and Sagittarius Man Posted on February 6, 2014 By Tiziani What makes them? Fire and Air is always a powerful chemistry. There is a strong exchange of ideas, ethos and the pursuit of life experiences here. They also often share a common desire to simply want to be a better, moral person. What breaks them? His morals can stray too far into knowing it all and repel her sense of independence. Libra Woman also finds it hard to trust how many women he has around him. It doesn’t fit in with her innocent damsel game to be seen competing for a man’s attention. Can it work between Libra Woman and Sagittarius Man ? It can work but, unlike the gender reversal of this pairing, there is a lot of room for miscommunication when the Sag is the male and Libra the female of this romance."

This signifies the dual personality that they have. It is never possible to know the inside of a Sagittarius as what they appear to be outside they are not always the same on the inside. They are the doers' type, who will never sit back and watch others do a task. They are communicative, confident, and broad minded who are always in search of truth. Intelligence and knowledge are their key pursuits in life and they are always looking for answers to the question of life. Philosophy and religion interests them a lot which they feel will help them to satisfy their inner quest for knowledge and truth.

In Japan, cherry blossoms are called sakura, a special flower for the people and the country. Cherry blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Their life is very short. After their beauty peaks around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall. During this season in Japan, people like to have cherry blossom parties with colleagues, friends, and family. A cherry blossom makes people merry.

In the manga, there are only 19 named cards while the anime has 53 (52 from the main series and one from the The Sealed Card ). The Cards were created by and named after Clow Reed, a half-English, half-Chinese sorcerer. After Clow passed away, the Book of Clow was sealed away with the Book's beast guardian, Cerberus, only to be released when a new \"\"chosen one\"\" appeared. The Cards represent a variety of concepts and natural forces deriving from the combination of Eastern and Western magic. Each of the Cards also has its own personality, ranging from good-natured to passive to aggressive, as well as powers based off of an elemental force of a specific task. When acting on their own, they will usually take the form depicted on the card face. The first 52 cards fall under either the Sun or Moon, corresponding with the Book's two guardians, Cerberus and Yue . The original 19 cards from the manga were The Light, The Dark, The Watery, The Firey, The Earthy, The Windy, The Fly, The Wood, The Flower, The Shadow, The Erase, The Mirror, The Maze, The Thunder, The Glow, The Sword, The Shield, The Jump, and The Illusion.

The ninjas we know and love are now all grown up, some got promoted while others now just enjoy their times being in peace. Here are a list of which character got married. Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga Hinata Hyuga Naruto Uzumaki I knew that Naruto and Hinata would get married, from the love she had for him to him always caring about her. She stayed by his side, now we have two amazingly cute kids, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki. Bolt Uzumaki Himawari Uzumaki Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno Sasuke Uchiha Sakura Haruno Sarada Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha came back to Konoha after his journey to find out how the world works. Sasuke had promised Sakura that he would eventually come back to the Leaf to see her again, from then on he most likely married Sakura Haruno and thus had a pretty cool looking child called Sarada Uchiha, a funny name indeed.

Up until recently, it was rarely used as a name, because cherry blossoms fall quickly from the tree and it was felt to be a bad omen that the child would die young. However, it became highly fashionable in the 1990's and remains very popular. Japanese parents like it because it has strong, romantic associations with Japanese culture and tradition, yet it's rarely used by older generations so it sounds youthful and fresh. Personal experiences with the name Sakura: | Edit My third daughter is named Sakura. We are not Japanese, but we appreciate the culture and are learning the language as a family.

"text": "\"Samsung has showcased its flagship smartphone Galaxy S5 in India. The smartphone will go on pre-order from March 29, 2014 and will be available in stores starting April 11. As of now, Samsung has refrained from sharing the exact price of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in India. Enthusiastic consumers who want to get the smartphone first, will have to shell out Rs 1,500 to pre-book it. Samsung did indicate that it will cost between Rs 51,000 and Rs 53,000. But does it really make sense to shell out over Rs 50,000 on the Samsung Galaxy S5? Here are five reasons why you are better of without it. 1) Pricey Little Thing We were expecting the Samsung Galaxy S5 to be priced somewhere around Rs 45,000 and so we feel at the current price, this smartphone is way too expensive. You might want to wait for the price drop. 2) Shiny ain't glamorous anymore It was expected that Samsung would be adopting a metal case for the Samsung Galaxy S5."

"text": "Samsung Geeks | On 05, Jan 2017Samsung mobiles with removable batteries have become something of a rarity these days. It would seem Samsung have chosen to forfeit the practicality of a removable battery for a design that is more pleasing-to-the-eye. Ultra-sleek metal casing and streamlined aesthetics do create a more premium-looking product. As well as providing fans with pretty handsets, Samsung also wanted to improve water resistance in the S7 models. Sealing a modular battery proved to be a bit of a pain, so Samsung introduced the unibody design. But many outspoken Samsung fans have mourned the loss of modular battery compartments. And now, in this post-exploding-Note-7 world, some people are asking whether Samsung needs to reconsider removable batteries inside their flagships. With the advent of the S8 approaching in 2017, there has been much speculation as to whether Samsung will include a removable battery in their new flagship mobile. However, the crux of the matter is, Samsung mobiles with removable batteries are no longer the norm. So, being helpful as ever, we put together a comprehensive list of ALL the Samsung batteries that have removable batteries."

Usually this is not necessary but if you are unlucky you can lose all your data including your contacts. If your contacts appear here your contacts are backed up already The good news Thankfully Google has made Android Os in such a way that if you have linked your Android phone to your Gmail, your contacts are most likely already synced with your gmail. To check this go to your Gmail account. In the upper left corner under the Google logo press where it says Gmail. In the drop down that appears choose Contacts. Your contacts should appear.

So it’s no surprise she was named the highest-paid actress in the world in 2015. But her salary per movie is still often lower than her male counterparts. Jennifer Lawrence ’s net worth is crazy high! The Hunger Games star was just named the highest-paid actress in the world for 2015. Forbes compiled its annual list by looking at how much money leading ladies earned both on and off-screen between June 1, 2014, and June 1, 2015 (before taxes and fees). According to this ranking, Lawrence made $52 million last year alone, compared to $34 million last year. Obviously, much of this money came from her starring role in the Hunger Games franchise and her contract with Dior."

"text": "As a Christian, I don’t know if it’s good form to give tactical advice to those on the other side of the spiritual warfare battlefield. Since I don’t desire Christianity’s destruction, I probably shouldn’t offer any pointers for how to accomplish this to those want to raze the world’s sanctuaries and tango atop the rubble. On the other hand, Jesus did promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against his church, so giving despisers of the faith a more effective strategy to accomplish a goal they’ll never accomplish is a bit of a sanctified brag, a holy boast in the Savior whose supposed weakness is infinitely stronger than the strength of his enemies. So, in response to Scarlett Johansson reading sections of the Bible in a “porn voice” on “Saturday Night Live” writer Mike O’Brien’s upcoming comedy album, let’s go with the other hand. For Johansson, O’Brien, and those such as Ron Dicker of Huffington Post, who found this comedic collaboration to be delightful, I get it. You don’t like Christianity. You believe its teachings are a blight on progressive society, so you’ve selected humor as your weapon to erode its influence. “ Let’s sexify sections of scripture to show Christians that what they hold to be sacred is foolish and should have no role in our world.” This seems to be your battle strategy. The problem with this strategy, however, is that it doesn’t offer Christians anything of substance in place of what you’re trying to take away from them."

"text": "Dundonald Links to Host 2017 Scottish Open Elliott Heath April 25, 2016 1:01 pm0 shares Dundonald Links has hosted numerous tournaments including the 2015 Ladies Scottish Open Dundonald Links, in North Ayrshire, Scotland, will host the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open for the first time in 2017. Last year’s tournament was won by Rickie Fowler at Gullane. Located near the town of Irvine, Dundonald Links – which is undergoing major renovation works – will follow on from Castle Stuart Golf Links, the host venue for the 34th edition of Scotland’s national Open from July 7-10, 2016. The 7,100-yard, par 72 layout was designed by the highly-acclaimed golf course architect Kyle Phillips, whose creations also include Kingsbarns, one of the three venues for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and The Grove, which will host the British Masters supported by Sky Sports for the first time this year. Since being acquired by Loch Lomond Golf Club in February 2003, Dundonald Links has played host to numerous professional and amateur tournaments, including the European Tour Qualifying School First Stage, a qualifier for the Senior Open Championship and, most recently, the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open, which returns to Dundonald Links this year. After hosting the 2015 Ladies Scottish Open the club’s owners devised plans for a structural overhaul which included the construction of a new clubhouse, scheduled for completion at the end of 2016. On the course several of the greens have been increased in size and three of the putting surfaces have been levelled in selected areas to soften their contours to provide organisers with more options when setting up for tournament play. Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour, said: “We are delighted to announce that the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open will be staged at Dundonald Links in 2017. Following this year’s tournament at Castle Stuart in the north, this will ensure that Scotland’s national Open is showcased as widely as possible across the country. “We also extend our gratitude to everyone at Dundonald Links for the work they have done at the golf club, and the work that they continue to do."

Willett is the leading hope for a British winner at St Andrews Simon Rice @simonrice Friday 17 July 2015 14:31 BSTClick to follow The Independent Sport Danny Willett GETTY IMAGESDespite fearing the 'Armageddon' weather conditions forecast for the second day of play at St Andrews, Danny Willett has taken advantage of the conditions to lead The Open. \"\" It could be Armageddon-type stuff by the looks of the weather forecast,\"\" he said before getting his second round under way. \"\" When the wind and rain gets up it can be a lottery. \"\" Despite the concerns, the balls seem to have landed in Willett's favour on day two with the Englishman taking a commanding lead despite the delay to play this morning. When play resumed at 10am, Willett - who carded an opening 66 to lie one behind overnight leader Dustin Johnson - took full advantage of the relatively benign conditions with birdies on the second and fifth to claim the outright lead. The 27-year-old went into the tournament standing second on the European money list this season, having doubled his number of victories to two when he won the Nedbank Challenge out in South Africa.

As to whether he now has the game to go on and win a big one, the Rotherham-born vicar's son has no need for the power of prayer - more the growing confidence he has in his own game. \"\" My game's been there for a while,\"\" he said. \"\" The more you play with the guys the more you realise they can't do anything much better than you can, if at all, and that I'm actually equipped to do pretty well. \"\""

By Mike Hlas The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Series: PGA Tour Published: Saturday, July 11, 2015 | 2:40 p.m. SILVIS, Ill. -- Jordan Spieth is chasing what looks like a version of himself. Justin Thomas, who is 12-under-par and has a 1-shot lead in John Deere Classic through 36 holes, is 22 years old. Spieth turns 22 later this month. Thomas made a 36-hole cut in a PGA Tour event (the 2009 Wyndham Championship) when he was 16. Spieth did the same at the 2010 Byron Nelson Classic. Spieth played here on a sponsor's exemption as an amateur in 2012. Thomas did likewise in 2013.

They are not interested in a “data entry” job, and if you had an opening for one, you would not want to hire them for it. On the other hand, sales managers need real data, in real time, so they can make accurate forecasts and manage a sales pipeline that is in touch with reality. The six “sins” that make CRM systems full of garbage data, are the following Distorted forecasts Duplicate leads Stale information The no-lead sharing economy The “Opportunities are never lost” problem Avoiding data entry at all costs or doing it really late Gamification can be used, simply and elegantly, to address these challenges, communicate corporate objectives and help with CRM process, all the while keeping salespeople and their sales managers happy. Use gamification to improve data entry, the quality of data inputs and the overall quality of the sales pipeline are as follows:1. Gamify Performance Using enterprise gamification together with CRM can have surprising results, creating lasting changes in employee behavior.2. Concentrate on driving small actions Pipeline management quality is all about the “small actions” – update a lost deal, insert more information about the customer, make a realistic estimate of the deal size and more. It isn’t about competition – it is about the satisfaction that comes from completion. This is where game mechanics that reward completion (and not competition) work well.3. Don’t let leaderboards confuse you Leaderboards are just one of a large arsenal of game mechanics."

The big hitter from Southport was taking his approach on the fourth hole fairway during the third round as he attempted to chase down overnight leader Francesco Molinari. The 24-year-old regularly drives in the region of 300 yards and set himself up with a spectacular second shot. However to his delight the 198-yard seven iron approach was better than expected and landed in the cup for only the 92nd albatross in European Tour history.+6Tommy Fleetwood is stunned after his approach shot at Wentworth lands him an albatross on the fourth Tommy Fleetwood incredible albatross in BMW PGA Championship+6The 24-year-old prepares to make his 198-yard approach shot during the third round on Saturday Fleetwood is one of the rising stars of the game and is proving his credentials at Wentworth, with his albatross only the third one ever at the course and first for six years. As a result he's now mixing within a few of shots of Molinari in the chasing pack which includes Miguel Angel Jimenez, who also hit a sensational whole in one on Saturday. The 24-year-old finished his magnificent third round with 65 to head into the final round three shots off the lead, with his score aided by an eagle on the 12th. Fleetwood had a distinguished amateur career and has since gone on to win the 2011 Kazakhstan Open on the challenger tour and then the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles for his first European tour crown in 2013. His consistent results have taken the youngster to 54 in the golf rankings and more impressively to 12th in the race to Dubai.

Photo: Reuters The PGA Tour's Florida swing of tournaments is underway which means the golf season is truly getting going. With Tiger Woods’ future in question, the future of American golf is in question as well. There is still a large amount of talent that was born in the states teeing off on tour, however. The Masters are set to begin April 9 and by then there will be a clearer picture of who might be ascending to the top of the game. Below is a preliminary ranking of the top 10 American players in 2015. Keep an eye on these golfers as the year progresses.1. Bubba Watson – He is almost unquestionably the top American and ranked No. 2 in the world behind Rory Mc Ilroy. He’s known for his long drives, but has begun to put the rest of his game together."

Jude Cisse, 36, and her three youngest sons, all under the age of seven, were thought to have been out of the house when the raid occurred at the £2million home according to The Sun. Vulnerable: Jude Cisse (right) told of her horror that left her children frightened Out: Cisse, currently playing in Qatar is yet to comment on his twitter about the incident The Mum-of-four, who is estranged from the French international, tweeted: 'Seriously sick... hope they rot in hell, my boys minds are working overtime & they are inferior & don't want 2 go 2 bed!! ' Out and about: Cisse is now on loan in Qatar from QPR after being signed by Mark Hughes last January'My priority is the welfare of my family & as its caused great distress 2 my children I'm appealing in the hope that raising awareness of the incident will help police inquiries & prevent this from happening again. ' Jude then posted a picture of a guard dog, saying: 'Meet Pablo, about time I introduced a new male 2 the family. Feel safer, less vulnerable! Wouldn't want 2 get on the wrong side of him. ' She then posted to say that a Rolex Daytona Leopard, among other watches and jewelry, were taken. Three suspects were remanded in custody by Chester magistrates on Wednesday, with Cisse, who is still on the books at QPR, on loan at Al-Ghafara in Qatar since January. Former Leeds and Liverpool winger Harry Kewell also joined the Qatari club on a short-term deal in April."

Kim Steele/Getty Imagesby Jordan R. Fisher, Geography Intern Updated March 17, 2017Ports Linking International Cities Our international trade system is composed of a multitude of developments and processes that work harmoniously to create and support a global economy. The international trade system functions in many ways like the human body, where organs operate in their unique ways to support the growth of a healthy human individual. In many ways, globalization represents a long period of growth and development in the human body. Thus, each country represents one of our body's vital organs and specializes in producing or manufacturing useful goods to be exported and imported abroad. Exports and imports travel down navigable shipping routes that act as the veins that connect our world's countries. These \"\"shipping veins\"\" are connected by large port cities that act like the human heart to pump goods, capital, and services throughout each country. We will focus below on how port cities operate throughout the world as a main function to their geographies of place. The United States' Ports and Port Cities The United States is one particular country whose large landmass, or size, makes it difficult to transport goods far and wide in an efficient manner. For comparison, the United Kingdom is approximately the size of the state of Oregon and Japan is approximately the size of the state of California."

STCW was adopted in 1978 by conference at the International Maritime Organization ( IMO) in London, and entered into force in 1984. The Convention was significantly amended in 1995. The 1978 STCW Convention was the first to establish basic requirements on training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers on an international level. Previously the standards of training, certification and watchkeeping of officers and ratings were established by individual governments, usually without reference to practices in other countries. As a result, standards and procedures varied widely, even though shipping is extremely international by nature. The Convention prescribes minimum standards relating to training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers which countries are obliged to meet or exceed. ["

Shanghai, China For the first time in 2010, the Shanghai port was declared the largest port in the world. The China-based harbour overtook Singapore port and handled 29.05 million TEU's, leaving Singapore's behind with a half million TEU's. In 2014, Shanghai port set a historic record with over 35 million TEU's handled.2. Singapore Built in 1819, the Singapore Port counts as an economic backbone because of Singapore's lack in land and natural resources. The harbor plays a vital role when it comes to the importation of natural resources, and the re-exporting of elaborated products, for example, wafer fabrication or oil refining to generate revenue. Yearly, thousands of ships use the Port of Singapore, connecting it with more than 600 other ports in 123 countries divided over six different continents.3. Shenzhen, China The Shenzhen port is the home-base of over 35 shipping companies, together good for around 130 international container routes. On a monthly basis, 560 ships are on call at Shenzhen port and also 21 feeder routes to other ports in the Pearl River Delta region.4. Hong Kong, S. A. R., China The Port of Hong Kong, located by the South China Sea, is a deepwater seaport dominated by trade in containerized manufactured products, and to a lesser extent raw materials and passengers."

New York Harbor and the Hudson River in the foreground; the East River in the background. Capri harbor, Italy seen from Anacapri. A harbor or harbour (see spelling differences; synonyms: wharves, haven) is a sheltered body of water where ships, boats, and barges can be docked. The term harbor is often used interchangeably with port, which is a man-made facility built for loading and unloading vessels and dropping off and picking up passengers. Ports usually include one or more harbors. Alexandria Port in Egypt is an example of a port with two harbors. Harbors may be natural or artificial. An artificial harbor can have deliberately constructed breakwaters, sea walls, or jettys or they can be constructed by dredging, which requires maintenance by further periodic dredging. An example of an artificial harbor is Long Beach Harbor, California, United States which was an array of salt marshes and tidal flats too shallow for modern merchant ships before it was first dredged in the early 20th century.

"text": "10 Most Beautiful Bays in the World Last updated on October 24, 2017 in Landscapes 5 Comments A bay is loosely defined as a body of water partly enclosed by land. Generally they have calmer waters than the surrounding sea and are a good place for ships to shelter from the weather. When large and deep enough, bays become natural harbors which are often of great economic and strategic importance. Many of the great cities of the world are located on a natural harbor. This top 10 features some of the most beautiful bays and famous stretches of coastline in the world. See also: The Club of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World keeps a large list of beautiful bays around the world.10. Bay of Fundy The Bay of Fundy, located on the Atlantic coast of Canada, is famous for its high tidal range. Because of the unique shape of the bay, the difference in water level between high tide and low tide can be as much as 16 meters (52 feet). One of the best places to watch the tides are the Hopewell Rocks, a number of sandstone towers topped by trees. The base of the rock formations are covered in water twice a day and can be seen from the ground level at low tide.9."

"text": "Marseille (or Marseilles as it is also spelled) is a city located along the Mediterranean Sea in the southeastern part of France. It has the distinction of being the oldest city in the country, having been founded by Greek settlers in the sixth century BC, and is a great place to visit if you're looking for historical things to do in France. Marseille France has a long history and rich cultural tradition as an important seaport in Western Europe. In fact, it was the ideal location of the bay that attracted the Greeks to this area to begin. To this day, Marseille is the busiest seaport in all of France. It is also the second largest city in France behind Paris, as well as the third largest urban and metropolitan area, behind Paris and Lyon. People from all over the world are drawn to this city on the sea because of its idyllic, Mediterranean locale, as well as its wide range of historic and cultural attractions. The natural beauty of Marseille is perhaps what first draws people to attention. It is not just the crystalline blue Mediterranean Sea, the rocky, limestone cliffs and inlets, and the alluring Frioul Islands, but neighboring areas like Cassis and Toulon, Aix-en-Provence, and the Luberon. From 6,000-foot mountain peaks, glacial inlets, and picturesque lakes and deltas, to cobblestone roads, centuries-old cafes and restaurants, and the Marseille Harbor, there is an inspiring vantage point around every corner."

"text": "History Stories6 Things You Should Know About Tokyo History Stories6 Things You Should Know About Tokyo By Barbara Maranzani// July 8, 2013Print Cite On July 8, 1853, U. S. Commodore Matthew Perry led the U. S. Navy’s East India Squadron into Uraga Harbor in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), Japan, in what became the first step toward the “opening” of the Asian nation to western trade and influence after more than 250 years of “isolation” under the ruling Tokugawa shogunate. The arrival of the Perry expedition and the U. S. Navy’s “black ships” led to a series of economic, political and social crises that brought tremendous upheaval to the country—followed by unprecedented growth—paving the way for the rise of modern Japan. Explore some things you may not know about the nation’s capital.1. Tokyo began life as a village known as Edo. The city that would become one of the world’s largest metropolises started out as a small fishing village, first settled around 3,000 B. C. Known as Edo, or “estuary” it was first fortified in the 12th century and became home to Edo Castle (now the site of the Imperial Palace) in the 1450s. Edo’s influence and growing importance in Japanese society was due to its role as the base of power for the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled the country for more than 250 years until its overthrow in 1868. During this era, known as the Edo period, the city underwent unprecedented cultural and economic growth and by the 1720s the population had boomed to more than 1.1 million, making it one of the largest cities in the world. The city’s name was formally changed to Tokyo, meaning eastern capital, in 1868, when the nearly 700-year shogunate period came to an end, and the new emperor, Meiji, moved his residence there. Although Tokyo has remained the de facto capital ever since, there are no rules on the books making it Japan’s “official” capital, leaving some in the former imperial city of Kyoto to insist that it is the rightful owner of the title.2. A massive earthquake destroyed nearly half of Tokyo in 1923."

The airport is most often referred to by its IATA airport code (and FAA LID) LAX, with the letters pronounced individually. LAX is located south of the Westchester district of the City of Los Angeles, California, 18 miles (30 km) southwest of Downtown Los Angeles, between the district of Westchester to its immediate north, the city of El Segundo to its immediate south and the city of Inglewood its immediate east. It is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports, an agency of the government of Los Angeles, formerly known as the Department of Airports. Covering 3,500 acres (1,416 ha) of land, LAX is also notable for its four parallel runways. [ 4]In 2017, LAX handled 84,557,968 passengers, making it the world's fifth busiest airport by passenger traffic, and the country's second busiest overall after Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta. The airport holds the record for the world's busiest origin and destination (O&D) airport, since relative to other airports, many more travelers begin or end their trips in Los Angeles than use it as a connection."

It connects with the Metro Busway bus rapid transit system (the Orange Line and Silver Line) and also with the Metrolink commuter rail system. Metro Rail, which had an average daily weekday ridership of 362,135 as of July 2016, [4] is owned and operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and started service in 1990. It has been extended significantly since that time and several further extensions are either in the works or being considered. Los Angeles had two previous rail transit systems, the Pacific Electric Red Car and Los Angeles Railway Yellow Car lines, which operated between the late 19th century and the 1960s. The Metro Rail system utilizes many of their former rights-of-way, and thus can be considered their indirect successor.

Local residents are justifiably proud of the facts about Willemstad Curacao and the remarkable preservation of this important Caribbean port city. There are hundreds of protected buildings preserved as national monuments, including the notable Mikve Israel Emanuel Synagogue that dates to 1732 and is the oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. A good portion of the harbor is protected and dominated by Fort Amsterdam, the oldest of the several forts built on the island by the Dutch West India Company in the seventeenth century. For this reason alone, Willemstad tourism draws thousands of visitors every year, making it one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean. Visitors come by air on flights from around the world and sail here on small yachts from nearby islands. However, the largest sector of Willemstad tourism is the Caribbean cruises market, which brings hundreds of thousands of visitor each year. Facts about Willemstad Curacao reveal an unusually well-protected natural deep water harbor that is one of the busiest and most strategically located in the world. The Willemstad cruise ship port welcomes huge ocean going liners carrying thousands of passengers each. They dock here only for one or two nights—ample time for the passengers to disembark and enjoy the other attractions of the island."

I visited Dr. Egbo at the nursing center where he spent the last days of his life, some three weeks before he succumbed to his illness. During the visit which turned out to be my last encounter with him, it was hard for me to imagine what he was going through, let alone could I describe my feelings of loss for a man that I had worked with closely on many issues that concerned humanity. Those of us who knew him well can say, without hesitation, that he lived and died a brave man, unshaken in his belief that the only thing that matters in life is the courage one brings to bear on it. My relationship with Paul had blossomed because of our common belief and dedication to the cause of humanity, much of which I credit to him. He became a close friend and a fellow activist, who in his sixty-six years on earth had been a vocal proponent of peace, an advocate for human rights, and a stalwart progressive before it was popular to be one. Like many who have taken the liberty to show appreciation for the services of other activists that preceded him in death, I could do no less for my friend, Dr. Paul Kofi Egbo, than to salute him for his contributions towards the cause of peace and social justice. Paul’s romance with political activism started early in his life. When he was ten years old, his father David Egbo, a cocoa farmer, sent him home to Nigeria from Nima where Paul was born and spent the early part of his life. Nima, a suburb of the Ghanaian capital City of Accra was a poor neighborhood largely populated by a mixture of immigrants from Northern Ghana and a number of African countries."

It is best if you and the seller go together to a Secretary of State office to complete the title transfer. If not, then before leaving with the vehicle make sure: The seller gives you the title. Making changes on a title, such as crossing out a name, invalidates it. Copies are also not acceptable. The seller must complete the seller's portion of the title assignment, including the odometer disclosure statement, and sign it. There is no outstanding loan against the vehicle. A title cannot be transferred until the vehicle loan is fully paid. A representative from the bank or financial institution that administered the loan must either have signed the title or provided the owner with a lien termination statement.

"text": "Michigan Driver's License Point System Traffic Tickets Can Lead to a Driver's License Suspension Under Michigan state law, certain traffic safety offenses will result in the automatic suspension or revocation of an individual's license to drive. Perhaps the most common of these include DUI/DWI and misdemeanor convictions for leaving the scene of an accident. Most other traffic offenses, however, are assigned a specific number of points according to their severity, with more serious moving violations receiving a larger number of points than what is given for relatively minor offenses. As you accumulate more and more points on your driving record, the Michigan Secretary of State will take escalating actions against you which may culminate in a suspension of your driver's license. If you have any questions regarding the driver's license point system contact a Michigan traffic ticket attorney from our firm. Here is a brief overview of some of the most common traffic violations and the number of points which are assigned to each: Vehicular manslaughter – 6 points Reckless driving – 6 points Refusal to take a chemical test – 6 points Operating while visibly impaired – 4 points Under age 21 with any bodily alcohol content – 4 points Speeding at 16 mph or more over the limit – 4 points Failure to yield or show due caution for a fire truck of ambulance – 4 points Careless driving – 3 points Disobeying a traffic signal or stop sign – 3 points Improper passing – 3 points Speeding between 11 and 15 mph over the limit – 3 points Speeding up to 10 miles per hour over the limit – 2 points Driving with an open container of alcohol – 2 points How many points before a driver's license suspension in Michigan? When you have accumulated 4 points within a period of 2 years, the Secretary of State will send you a letter in the mail to advise you of the fact that you have a higher-than-average number of points on your driving record. Once you receive 8 points, you will be mailed another letter warning you of an impending suspension in the event that you continue to break the traffic laws. After accumulating 12 points, the Secretary of State will order you to report in for a driver reexamination which may include a review of your driving record, tests of your eyesight and knowledge of traffic safety, and a behind-the-wheel driving test. Depending on the outcome of the tests and the nature of the offenses for which you were cited, you may be able to walk out without any negative consequence for your license, but more likely you will have to face a period of months or years with a restricted, suspended or revoked license."

They offer a valuable means of identification for your vehicle, and are legally required by all states in the United States. Each US state issues independent license plates to a vehicle owner. Therefore, if you have recently shifted states, you must surrender your previous license plates and request for new ones to be issued by your new state. Michigan license plates are specific to vehicles that are owned and operated within the state. You are required to have a standard license plate issued by the Secretary of State office visible on your vehicle at all times. Failure to do so may result in penalties and a confiscation of your driving privileges. If you have recently purchased a car within the state of Michigan, or have moved to the state from another state, Michigan law grants you a certain period within which you must approach the Secretary of State’s office and obtain Michigan license plates. These plates are valid for a certain period of time and must be renewed on an annual basis. Typically, license plates expire on the vehicle owner’s birthday as opposed to the end of the month."

"text": "\" (Photo: Carolyn Kaster / AP)CONNECT TWEET311LINKEDIN97COMMENT EMAIL MORELansing — President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday said he intends to appoint west Michigan GOP mega donor and philanthropist Betsy De Vos to be his education secretary, putting an ardent supporter of school choice in charge of the nation’s education policy. De Vos, 58, is seen as a national leader in the school choice movement, which she has called an attempt to “empower” parents to find good schools for their children, whether they be traditional public schools in other neighborhoods, charter schools, virtual schools or private institutions. “Betsy De Vos is a brilliant and passionate education advocate,” Trump said Wednesday in a statement. “ Under her leadership, we will reform the U. S. education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families. ”Trump’s appointment of De Vos is subject to confirmation by the Republican-controlled U. S. Senate. On Tuesday, former Washington, D. C., school chancellor Michelle Rhee took herself out of the running for education secretary, clearing the path for De Vos’ appointment. In a statement, De Vos said she was honored to help Trump “make American education great again” — a play on Trump’s campaign slogan. “The status quo in education is not acceptable,” De Vos said. “ Together, we can work to make transformational change that ensures every student in America has the opportunity to fulfill his or her highest potential. ”Trump’s decision to have De Vos run the U. S. Department of Education comes four days after she met with the president-elect and Vice President-elect Mike Pence at Trump’s golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey."

"text": "Michigan Salvage Title In the state of Michigan, insurance companies have the authority to declare a vehicle a total loss if your automobile is in an accident. If your insurance claims the total loss or the word salvage has been stamped on the title, it is illegal to operate your vehicle on any road in Michigan. What this means is that your original registration on your vehicle has been cancelled, and you'll need to remove your plates off your automobile. If the vehicle is restored, it has to be inspected before a Rebuilt Title will be issued. A rebuilt vehicle with a MI Salvage Rebuilt Title can be driven on the highways. Please note that your vehicle can't be re-titled until it passes a Salvage Inspection.

S. state of Michigan. The boundaries of these counties have not changed substantially since 1897. However, throughout the 19th century, the state legislature frequently adjusted county boundaries. County creation was intended to fulfill the goal of establishing government over unorganized territory, but a more important goal was encouraging settlement by surveying the land and dividing it into saleable sections. The creation of counties generally occurred in two stages. First the boundaries of a county were declared and given a name. The county appeared on maps, even though this may have been the entire extent of a county's tangible existence for several years. During this period, the as-yet–unorganized county was attached to another already organized county for administrative purposes. The legislature frequently changed the administrative attachment of these unorganized counties. Residents of such an attached county could petition the legislature for organization, which was the granting of full legal recognition to the county."

The Battle Creek Democrat announced his candidacy online Tuesday and filed paperwork with the Michigan Secretary of State establishing a candidate committee, Mark Schauer for Governor, which will allow him to begin raising funds as he seeks the party nomination in 2014. He's the first Democrat to declare for the race and is the clear party favorite to challenge first-term Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who has not yet confirmed his own re-election plans but is widely expected to run. \"\" We need a governor who will protect the middle class and invest in education to create good jobs for Michigan workers,\"\" Schauer said in a released statement, reiterating his earlier posts on Facebook and Twitter. \"\" Rick Snyder has taken our state in the wrong direction. Snyder's school cuts and higher taxes on seniors and working families are hurting Michigan’s economy. \"\" Today I'm taking the first steps to form a campaign for governor. I'm ready to run, I'm ready to work, and I'm ready to win in 2014. It's time to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the special interests. \"\""

"text": "\"Driver License Restoration Appeal to Circuit Court Restoration appeals are governed by MCL 257.323. Prior to January 1, 1992, the Department and the Circuit Court had concurrent jurisdiction over habitual offender licensing matters. This changed with the Legislature's comprehensive drunk driving reform package that was passed in 1991 and which became effective January 1, 1992. Similar to administrative appeals under the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act (APA) [1969 PA 306, as amended], appeals to the Circuit Court are now limited to a review of the record. The record reviewed on appeal is the hearing record created under MCL 257.322. If the operator was ineligible for a Departmental appeal because the minimum time of the revocation had not run, then the record subject to review is the driving record created under MCL 257.204a. Under MCL 257.323 (4), habitual offender license revocations can be set aside by the Circuit Court only if the petitioner's substantial rights had been prejudiced because the Departmental determination was: In violation of the Constitution of the United States, the State constitution of 1963, or a statute. In excess of the Secretary of State's statutory authority or jurisdiction. Made upon unlawful procedure resulting in material prejudice to the petitioner.

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": "Pancreas Functions and Pancreatic Enzymes Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The pancreas plays multiple roles in digestion, absorption, metabolism and storage of nutrients. Its diverse functions can be broadly divided into its dual glandular activity : Exocrine – digestive enzymes secreted into the small intestine. Endocrine – hormones secreted directly into the blood stream. Pancreatic Exocrine Functions The acinar cells of the pancreas produces enzymes for digesting food in the gut. It is then released into the ductules which empty the contents into the pancreatic duct. These chemical catalysts are inactive until it enters the lumen of the small intestine, where it is activated by the acidity of the stomach contents or other digestive enzymes. Various enzymes act on different types of food. The pancreatic enzymes chemically break down the food into simpler substances which can be digested further by other enzymes or absorbed through the lining of the gut. Protein Digesting Pancreas Enzymes Trypsin Chymotrypsin Carboxypolypeptidase Elastase Kallikrein Carbohydrate Digesting Pancreas Enzymes Amylase Fat Digesting Pancreas Enzymes Pancreatic lipase Cholesterol esterase Phospholipase The actions and regulation of these catalysts are discussed further below. Pancreas Endocrine Functions The islet cells of the pancreas (islet of Langerhans) produce hormones to regulate metabolism and digestion."

"text": "What Does The Pancreas Do? Download PDF Copy By Susan Chow, Ph D, ELSThe pancreas is an organ that sits in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach and plays a role in both the digestive and endocrine system. In the endocrine system, it is responsible for producing several hormones, such as insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide. Additionally, its exocrine function involves the secretion of digestive enzymes that aid the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. Head of pancreas Uncinate process Pancreatic notch Body of pancreas Anterior surface Inferior surface Superior margin Anterior margin Inferior margin Omental tuber Tail of pancreas Duodenum Endocrine Function There are many cell clusters in the pancreas referred to as islets of Langerhans that are responsible for the endocrine function of the organ. The islets are composed of groups or chains of endocrine cells, woven together to form a dense network. There are four types of cells in these islets, including: Related Stories Novel technology gives rise to mouse pancreatic tumors that resemble human cancer Pancreatic progenitor cells could be used to treat diabetes, suggests study Unique progenitor cells in the pancreas have potential to develop glucose-responsive beta cellsα alpha cell that secrete glucagonβ beta cells that secrete insulinΔ delta cells that secrete somatostatinγ gamma cells that secrete pancreatic polypeptide Each of these hormones plays an important role in the body and is essential for normal bodily functions to occur. Of particular note, glucagon and insulin work together to maintain adequate glucose levels in the blood. Glucagon is secreted when there is low blood sugar concentration to increase the glucose content, whereas insulin is secreted when there is excess sugar to decrease the glucose in the blood. For example, after a meal that causes the concentration of glucose in the blood to spike the pancreas produces insulin, which encourages the insulin to be broken down and used in the body."

Subsequently, somatostatin was found to be secreted by a broad range of tissues, including pancreas, intestinal tract and regions of the central nervous system outside the hypothalamus. Structure and Synthesis Two forms of somatostatin are synthesized. They are referred to as SS-14 and SS-28, reflecting their amino acid chain length. Both forms of somatostatin are generated by proteolytic cleavage of prosomatostatin, which itself is derived from preprosomatostatin. Two cysteine residules in SS-14 allow the peptide to form an internal disulfide bond. The relative amounts of SS-14 versus SS-28 secreted depends upon the tissue. For example, SS-14 is the predominant form produced in the nervous system and apparently the sole form secreted from pancreas, whereas the intestine secretes mostly SS-28. In addition to tissue-specific differences in secretion of SS-14 and SS-28, the two forms of this hormone can have different biological potencies. SS-28 is roughly ten-fold more potent in inhibition of growth hormone secretion, but less potent that SS-14 in inhibiting glucagon release."

"text": "Click To View Large Image Continued From Above... Anatomy of the Pancreas Gross Anatomy The pancreas is a narrow, 6-inch long gland that lies posterior and inferior to the stomach on the left side of the abdominal cavity. The pancreas extends laterally and superiorly across the abdomen from the curve of the duodenum to the spleen. The head of the pancreas, which connects to the duodenum, is the widest and most medial region of the organ. Extending laterally toward the left, the pancreas narrows slightly to form the body of the pancreas. The tail of the pancreas extends from the body as a narrow, tapered region on the left side of the abdominal cavity near the spleen. Glandular tissue that makes up the pancreas gives it a loose, lumpy structure. The glandular tissue surrounds many small ducts that drain into the central pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct carries the digestive enzymes produced by endocrine cells to the duodenum. Microscopic Anatomy The pancreas is classified as a heterocrine gland because it contains both endocrine and exocrine glandular tissue. The exocrine tissue makes up about 99% of the pancreas by weight while endocrine tissue makes up the other 1%."

"text": "Overview Secretin stimulation test is a test that measures the ability of the pancreas to respond to secretin. Secretin is a hormone secreted by the small intestines in the presence of partially digested food from the stomach; this hormone normally stimulates the pancreas to secrete a fluid with a high concentration of bicarbonate. This fluid neutralizes the acidity from the stomach that is necessary for a number of enzymes to function in the breakdown and absorption of food. In order to perform the test a tube is passed through the nose into the stomach then into the duodenum. Secretin is administered and the contents of the duodenal secretions are aspirated and analyzed over a period of about 2 hours. People with diseases involving the pancreas, such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, or pancreatic cancer, may have abnormal pancreatic function. Review Date 12/1/2016Updated by: Subodh K.

The best approach is to i) familiarize yourself with the names of the hormones below, ii) get a handle on the general actions of the hormones and iii) not be totally unfamiliar with these hormones should they come up in discussion with your colleagues! The first 5 are the most important! DOH!Gastrin: Gastrin is secreted by the antral mucosa of the stomach in response to the presence of food in the stomach or in response to vagal stimulation associated with the taste, smell, sight or feel of food! Gastrin is also secreted by the intestinal mucosa in response to the arrival of acidic chyme and undigested protein from the stomach!gastrin affects the stomach: Gastrin increases gastric motility, acid secretion and enzyme secretion to aid in the mixing and breakdown of the stomach contents. Gastrin increases the tone of the gastroesophageal sphincter to prevent reverse movement of food from the stomach into the esophagus. Gastrin increases the motility of the small intestine and gall bladder in preparation for the arrival of food from the stomach into the small intestine. Finally, gastrin decreases the tone of the ileocecal valve to assist in the passage of food from the small intestine to the colon; opening the ileocecal valve makes it easier to move out the old to make room for the new! In this sense, gastrin indirectly assists in the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine!Secretin: Secretin is secreted by the mucosa of the duodenum in response to acidic chyme from the stomach; recall that the chyme arriving from the stomach has a p H of 1-3!secretin affects the stomach: Secretin decreases motility of the stomach, and increases the tone of the cardiac (gastroesophageal) and pyloric sphincters. By tightening up the pyloric sphincter and decreasing gastric motility and secretion, secretin reduces the rate of secretion of stomach contents into the small intestine, preventing chyme from arriving too quickly or all at once.secretin affects the exocrine pancreas: Secretin promotes the production of alkaline buffers by the exocrine pancreas."

The term hormones is derived from Greek word homao which means to excite. It was first used by William M. Bayliss and Ernest H. Starling, both of the London University College, in the year 1904. They showed a chemical substance - secretin, secreted in the intestine can stimulate the action of a pancreatic secretion. These substances were known as 'chemical messengers'. The tissues that produce the hormones are known as the effectors while those tissues are that are influenced by the effectors are called as targets. Hormones are of low molecular weight and they diffuse readily. The effects brought about by the hormones are not permanent as the get readily oxidized."

Hershey Medical Center The Pennsylvania State University Hershey USAWorld Progress in Surgery77Downloads13Citations Abstract The primary determinant of bile formation is the hepatic excretory rate of bile salts, which is controlled by the rate of return of bile salts to the liver by the enterohepatic circulation and by the synthesis of new bile salts. The gastrointestinal hormones secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK), sulfated gastrin, and glucagon increase bile volume and inorganic ion excretion into bile, but none of them influence bile salt secretion. The action of secretin is clearly physiologic. Nonsulfated gastrin and pentagastrin are not choleretics. The choleretic property of CCK derivatives is dependent upon the presence of sulfated tyrosine at position 7. Catecholamines increase bile flow by a mechanism that involves beta receptors, but the precise mechanism is unknown. The role of the parasympathetic nervous system is not clear. There is no evidence that hepatic secretion of bile salts is under neural control."

"text": "Secretin is a hormone produced in the duodenum which plays an important role in the digestive process and also appears to be involved in osmoregulation, the process the body uses to keep the internal balance of salt and fluids stable. This hormone can also be introduced into the body, usually in a test which is designed to check on the function of the pancreas. Secretion for injection or introduction to the body through a gastric tube is available from several pharmaceutical companies, by prescription only. A cascading series of reactions happen when people start to digest food. Secretin is one of the many players involved. As food moves through the stomach, it transitions into a partially digested state known as chyme. Chyme is very acidic as a result of the gastric juices it has been marinating in, and when it starts to be pushed into the intestines, secretin kicks into action. One of the things secretin does is trigger the production of bicarbonates which are used to neutralize the acid in the chyme so that it does not damage the intestines. Unlike the stomach, the intestines are not equipped to deal with the harsh gastric juices used in the early stages of digestion. The release of secretin also tells the stomach to stop making gastric juices, indicating that the next phase of digestion is beginning and that the stomach can take a break."

Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral or organic particles ( detritus) to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock by accumulating are called sediment. Before being deposited, the sediment was formed by weathering and erosion from the source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice, mass movement or glaciers, which are called agents of denudation. Sedimentation may also occur as minerals precipitate from water solution or shells of aquatic creatures settle out of suspension. The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth's crust is extensive (73% of the Earth's current land surface [1] ), but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only 8% of the total volume of the crust. [ 2] Sedimentary rocks are only a thin veneer over a crust consisting mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are deposited in layers as strata, forming a structure called bedding. The study of sedimentary rocks and rock strata provides information about the subsurface that is useful for civil engineering, for example in the construction of roads, houses, tunnels, canals or other structures. Sedimentary rocks are also important sources of natural resources like coal, fossil fuels, drinking water or ores."

It is a translucent stone, usually white, that is used for sculpture and interior decorations. It consists of the mineral gypsum with a very fine grain, massive habit, and even coloring. Alabaster is also used to refer to a similar type of marble, but a better name for that is onyx marble...or just marble. Onyx is a much harder stone composed of chalcedony with straight bands of color instead of the curved forms typical of agate. So if true onyx is a banded chalcedony, a marble with the same appearance should be called banded marble instead of onyx marble; and certainly not alabaster because it is not banded at all. There is some confusion because the ancients used gypsum rock, processed gypsum and marble for the same purposes under the name alabaster.02of 25Arkose Pictures of Sedimentary Rock Types.

As the Earth cooled, the lightest materials floated to the top and the heaviest materials sank to the center. The outer part of the Earth, the crust, consists of the lightest rock. The lightest rocks form the continents, which are made mostly of the rock granite. Most of the granite on the continents has, over millions of years, been broken down, transported, and deposited into sedimentary rock. These layers of sedimentary rock vary from 8-9 miles thick to nothing in some areas like the Canadian Shield of North America. The Canadian Shield has huge outcroppings of granite right on the surface. Under the thick layers of sedimentary rock lies the denser granite.

All sedimentary rocks are made of materials called sediments deposited by a particular force or process. Those sediment deposits then become cemented or compacted together over time, forming a solid rock. Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Australia, the world's largest monolith, is made of sandstone. The process of sedimentary rock formation involves a variety of sediment types. Some sediments are tiny grains of sand. Others include broken pieces of rock rolling along the bottom of a stream, fragmented seashells tossed upon a shoreline, or simply layers of mud. Sediments may also include plant or animal remains. Based on their origin, sediments are categorized into three main types. Those formed from broken pieces of rock are called DETRITALSEDIMENTS, while sediments deposited from the remains of plants and animals are called ORGANIC SEDIMENTS."

What is Geologic Time? The geological time scale (GTS) is a system of chronological measurement that relates stratigraphy to time, and is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships between events that have occurred throughout Earth's history. What is \"\"Deep Time?\"\" the multimillion year time frame within which scientists believe the earth has existed, and which is supported by the observation of natural, mostly geological, phenomena. What is Relative Age-Dating? Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their absolute age, (i.e. estimated age). What is stratigraphy? What are the Stratigraphic principles primarily used for? is a branch of geology which studies rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification)."

Sedimentary rock family A. Definition and explanationare rocks comprised of sediments accumulated from physical or chemical processes and consolidated through lithification ---the accumulation of sediments occurs primarily in ocean waters or other large bodies of water, after which the sediments lithify or change into solid rocks B. Some important factors and concepts related to the formation of sedimentary rocks1. Weathering· is the \"\"breaking down\"\" of rock materials at or near the surface of the Eartho chemical weathering is the decomposition of materials resulting in the formation of new minerals or materials--new materials form through removal of or additions to the weather substanceo physical or mechanical weathering is the disintegration of materials in which no new minerals or substances are formed· both chemical and physical weathering processes can affect a rock material to contribute to the overall breakdown2. Erosion· is the removal or transportation of materials by stream water, glacial ice, wind, and gravity---these materials eventually may become deposited in large amounts3. Lithification· is the process ( es) by which accumulated sediments become rock material---compaction of sediments by its own weight and cementation of the particles by a natural gluing agents carried through the sediments are two important lithification processes4. Stratification· is the occurrence of sedimentary rocks in layers (strata or beds) and can be considered the most common feature related to all sedimentary rocks---it is easily seen why sediments depositing in a medium would form in layers· click here to see stratified layers in the Grand Canyon, Arizona5. Law of superposition· states that during the formation of sedimentary rocks, each layer is older than the one above and younger than the one below---this statement reflects the relative age of sedimentary rocks. C. Sedimentary rock typesthere are three types of sedimentary rocks based on the way they form; clastic (detrital), chemical (inorganic) and organic (biological)---a rock table summarizing the descriptions of these rock types will be given below1. Detrital or clastic rocks· are rocks formed from the accumulation of sediments by primarily physical or mechanical processes---sediments are formed from the erosion of preexisting rock materials and deposited by agents such as stream water, wind, glacial ice, and gravity mainly into large bodies of water, although some sediments and sedimentary rocks can form at the surface---these sediments then become rocks through lithification· detrital sediment classification (Wentworth's particle size) is based on the size of the sedimentary particle---the largest size called a boulder, the smallest called clay.· click here to see the sedimentary particle sizes· Kinds of clastic rocks---based primarily on sediment (particle) sizeo conglomerate (comprised of large rounded particles), breccia (comprised of large sharp-edged shaped particles), graywacke sandstone (comprised of dark sand sized particles), arkose sandstone ( sand sized particles with alot of feldspar especially orthoclase), quartz sandstone ( sand sized particles comprised largely of quartz particles), siltstone (a fine grained rock with a gritty feel), claystone (a very fine grained rock which feels slick when wet), shale ( a very fine grained rock which is fissile or breaks into sheets)o siltstone and claystone can be undifferentiated and called mudstone2. Organic or biological rocks· are rocks formed from the accumulation of animal shells or plant materials and lithified ---size of sedimentary particle is not important in naming the rock· Kinds of organic rockso limestones (effervesce (bubble) with addition of dilute acid)§ fossiliferous limestone--animal shells in an opaque mud§ coquina--comprised essentially of 100% seeable animal shells§ chalk--comprised essentially of 100% invisible animal shells--can be scratched with the fingernail---the White Cliffs of Dover in England is an example of a large chalk deposit§ click here to see the \"\"White Cliffs Of Dover\"\" or see page 158 in texto coal§ the coal series explains the sequence of changes of buried plant materials to coal---the series is as follows: buried plants--to--peat (recognizable non-fossilized remains of plants)--to--lignite (a crude burning material)--to--bituminous coal — see page 161 in texto chert§ is a rock consisting of very tiny (micro) animal shells and comprised of silica (quartz-like material)3."

These atoms can be a part of both living things like plants and animals, as well as non-living things like water, air, and even rocks. The same atoms are recycled over and over in different parts of the Earth. This type of cycle of atoms between living and non-living things is known as a biogeochemical cycle. All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Tiny atoms of carbon and nitrogen are able to move around the planet through these cycles. For example, an atom of carbon is absorbed from the air into the ocean water where it is used by little floating plankton doing photosynthesis to get the nutrition they need. There is the possibility that this little carbon atom becomes part of the plankton’s skeleton, or a part of the skeleton of the larger animal that eats it, and then part of a sedimentary rock when the living things die and only bones are left behind. Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time."

"text": "\"A Brief History of the Lake Tahoe Geology: PART I: Creation of the Sierra Rock: The geologic history of Lake Tahoe began nearly 400 million years ago when a shallow sea covered the area that is now the Sierra Nevada Mountains. For hundreds of millions of years, mud, sand, and shells were slowly deposited on the floor of this ancient sea. The weight of the thousands of feet of sediment combined with chemical processes turned the mud, sand, and shells into mudstone, sandstone, and limestone rock. At the same time, about 210 million years ago, the Pacific Plate (the sea floor underneath the Pacific Ocean) crashed into the edge of the North American Plate (the land and continental shelf of North America) and was pushed down under the North American Plate. This process, known as subduction, is how most volcanoes and all granitic rock is formed. As the ocean plate is forced down, the increased temperature and pressure begin to melt the rock. Eventually large amounts of rock are in a liquid (or molten) state and begin to rise to the surface in the same way balloons filled with hot air rise. In the case of the Sierra Nevada, these inverted teardrop shaped bubbles of liquid rock (called plutons) did not reach the surface but instead cooled slowly underground. This process was repeated hundreds of times over 130 million years (till about 80 million years ago) creating a series of stacked plutons thousands of feet below the surface of the Earth four hundred miles long and 30 miles wide. This slow cooling allowed visible crystals to grow in the newly formed rock creating the salt and pepper granitic rock we see in much of the Sierra Nevada."

During that time, gemstones have been credited with powers of protection, healing, wisdom--even invisibility and life. But where do gemstones come from? Most gemstones are made from the crystalline forms of different minerals (except for non-mineral, organic gems like pearls, coral, and amber). Minerals form through naturally occurring processes that combine chemicals, heat, and/or pressure. The concentrations of chemicals determine the structure and color of the crystals. The temperatures and pressures that the crystals form under affect their size and shape. Most mineral crystals are tiny, but a few grow large and fine enough to be cut into gemstones of rare beauty. Those gemstones are the crowning glory of the mineral world. While we don't consciously think about them, minerals play an important role in our everyday lives."

Metamorphism may take place where a rock is subjected to conditions unlike those in which it originally formed. A metamorphic rock is a rock that was once one form of rock but has changed to another under the influence of heat, pressure, or fluids without passing through a liquid phase ( without completely melting ). Metamorphic rocks are not melted as they form (that would be igneous); the mineralogical change takes place in a solid state. Metamorphism and metamorphic rocks are part of the rock cycle ( Figure 10-1 ). Most metamorphic rocks are made up of common rock forming minerals but may also contain minerals that only form under metamorphic conditions (of which there are an interesting variety). Both sedimentary and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks. Igneous activity can also cause metamorphism as rocks are heated or even partially melt, releasing water and gases and some of their low-temperature melting minerals (such as quartz and micas).

Maybe you think such experiences are impossible, but paleontologists, the scientists who study ancient life, travel through time every day. To find out about life long ago and the environment that existed then, paleontologists study fossils. Fossils are the remains or evidence of life that existed in ancient times. To be considered a fossil, the remains must be more than 10,000 years old. Bones and shells of animals, petrified wood and other plant remains, and footprints, burrows, and other structures made by ancient life are all fossils. Using fossils, paleontologists are able to chart the history of the Earth. Fossils are found all over the world, usually in rocks or sediments—the particles of earth that are swept into water and form layers of deposits at the bottom. But some fossils have been found frozen in the ice of glaciers or in tar pools."

"text": "Sedimentary rock, rock formed at or near the Earth’s surface by the accumulation and lithification of sediment (detrital rock) or by the precipitation from solution at normal surface temperatures (chemical rock). Sedimentary rocks are the most common rocks exposed on the Earth’s surface but are only a minor constituent of the entire crust, which is dominated by igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are produced by the weathering of preexisting rocks and the subsequent transportation and deposition of the weathering products. Weathering refers to the various processes of physical disintegration and chemical decomposition that occur when rocks at the Earth’s surface are exposed to the atmosphere (mainly in the form of rainfall) and the hydrosphere. These processes produce soil, unconsolidated rock detritus, and components dissolved in groundwater and runoff. Erosion is the process by which weathering products are transported away from the weathering site, either as solid material or as dissolved components, eventually to be deposited as sediment. Any unconsolidated deposit of solid weathered material constitutes sediment. It can form as the result of deposition of grains from moving bodies of water or wind, from the melting of glacial ice, and from the downslope slumping (sliding) of rock and soil masses in response to gravity, as well as by precipitation of the dissolved products of weathering under the conditions of low temperature and pressure that prevail at or near the surface of the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are the lithified equivalents of sediments. They typically are produced by cementing, compacting, and otherwise solidifying preexisting unconsolidated sediments."

"text": "POOLS, FLUXES AND A WORD ABOUT UNITSIn order to understand how carbon is cycled and how atmospheric CO2 will change in the future, scientists must carefully study the places in which carbon is stored (pools), how long it resides there, and processes that transfer it from one pool to another (fluxes). Collectively, all of the major pools and fluxes of carbon on Earth comprise what we refer to as the global carbon cycle. As you might imagine, the actual global carbon cycle is immensely complex. It includes every plant, animal and microbe, every photosynthesizing leaf and fallen tree, every ocean, lake, pond and puddle, every soil, sediment and carbonate rock, every breath of fresh air, volcanic eruption and bubble rising to the surface of a swamp, among much, much else. Because we can't deal with that level of complexity, scientists often describe the carbon cycle by lumping similar objects or environments into simpler groups (forest, grassland, atmosphere, ocean) and focusing only on the processes that are most important at the global scale ( see Global Carbon Cycle Diagram ). As you might imagine, part of the trick is understanding just what those processes are. The following section is a brief overview of some of the important pools and fluxes in the global carbon cycle (and note that, in our discussion, we will use the terms pool, stock and reservoir interchangeably). But first, it’s worth taking a moment to consider the numbers and units scientists often deal with. Because the quantities of carbon in the Earth’s major carbon pools can be quite large, it is inconvenient to use familiar units such as pounds or kilograms. Instead, we use other units that are better suited for expressing large numbers."

"text": "\"Home »Geology Three Ways Sedimentary Rocks Are Formed By Renee Miller; Updated March 13, 2018Sedimentary rocks are made up of fragments of existing rocks which are called sediments. They are deposited in shallow waters, basins, and on ocean floors in layers which eventually become cemented or bonded together to form a solid rock. This process, called lithification, occurs in three ways; compaction, cementation and crystallization. Lithification Sedimentary rocks are divided into two groups based on the type of sediments within them. Most of these rocks are formed through a process called lithification, which occurs when rock is formed by the compacting and cementing of sediments that have been carried and deposited in a certain area. When the particles within the sediment become rounded from weathering, it creates sedimentary rocks that are called clastic rocks. Another group of sedimentary rocks are created by chemical precipitation or by crystallization. These are called nonclastic rocks. Compaction Compaction occurs when the weight of the materials above the sediments presses them together to form a rock. Rock particles along with the remains of organic material such as shells are deposited in the sea where they slowly accumulate and create layers."

Alabaster is also used to refer to a similar type of marble, but a better name for that is onyx marble...or just marble. Onyx is a much harder stone composed of chalcedony with straight bands of color instead of the curved forms typical of agate. So if true onyx is a banded chalcedony, a marble with the same appearance should be called banded marble instead of onyx marble; and certainly not alabaster because it is not banded at all. There is some confusion because the ancients used gypsum rock, processed gypsum and marble for the same purposes under the name alabaster.02of 25Arkose Pictures of Sedimentary Rock Types.

"text": "Dating Methods using Radioactive Isotopes Oliver Seely Radiocarbon method The age of ancient artifacts which contain carbon can be determined by a method known as radiocarbon dating. This method is sometimes called C-14 or carbon-14 dating. Carbon-14 is formed in the upper atmosphere by the bombardment of nitrogen-14 by cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are protons, particles and some heavier ions. Other particles, including neutrons, are produced by subsequent collisions. The collision of a neutron with the nucleus of a N-14 isotope produces C-14, as follows: This form of carbon is radioactive. That is, it decays spontaneously to nitrogen 14 by a path involving the emission of a high energy electron (a beta particle): But it decays very slowly, taking 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 to be converted back to nitrogen-14. Samples of wood, charcoal or cloth were originally living vegetable matter. We assume that while living, plants and trees absorb a constant ratio of C-12 and C-14 because the model says that the process of cosmic ray bombardment continues essentially at a constant rate. Since animals are a part of the food chain which includes plants, they also receive a constant ratio of C-12 and C-14, but in the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fats."

Texture Mineral Composition - All throughout history, people have used igneous rocks for building materials and tools because of how dense, hard, and durable they are. Uses of Igneous Rocks - It can take millions of years for rocks to turn into sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks form when particles of other rocks or remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together. - Sediment is small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things. - There are three different groups of sedimentary rocks: clastic rocks, organic rocks, and chemical rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are of two types, Castic, Chemical and Evaporitic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from the weathering products of other rocks, be they sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic. They break down into clays, sand, gravel and silt. These component parts then are transported by in order of importance, water, gravity and wind. They end up in a basin, which is nothing more than a depression, whether it is at the foot of a mountain, or the mother of all basins, the Ocean. Once deposited, it gets buried by other sediments, its an ongoing thing. As the basin fills, the crust under the basin sags, kind of like your mattress does under your weight. The sag gets deeper the more sediment is deposited. Now basins offshore, like at the mouth of the Mississippi River, the Nile or Amazon accumulate gazzilions of tons of sediment."

Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral or organic particles ( detritus) to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock by accumulating are called sediment. Before being deposited, the sediment was formed by weathering and erosion from the source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice, mass movement or glaciers, which are called agents of denudation. Sedimentation may also occur as minerals precipitate from water solution or shells of aquatic creatures settle out of suspension. The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth's crust is extensive (73% of the Earth's current land surface [1] ), but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only 8% of the total volume of the crust. [ 2] Sedimentary rocks are only a thin veneer over a crust consisting mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are deposited in layers as strata, forming a structure called bedding. The study of sedimentary rocks and rock strata provides information about the subsurface that is useful for civil engineering, for example in the construction of roads, houses, tunnels, canals or other structures.

LISTEN TO US TALK ABOUT KAZAAM ON ITUNES OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS. The Setup Today is a very special week because Shaquille O’Neal had his birthday this week (March 6th). Shaq is a very close personal friend of ours, so we invited him over for a Munch night where we could enjoy the crowning jewel of his career, Kaazam. The Meal Leanna knew Shaq has had a soft spot for chicken wings ever since his mom made them when he was young (or so this Bon Appétit article tells us), so she thought Shaq would enjoy some homemade wings on his birthday. We fried them and drenched them in a sauce that consisted mostly of Frank’s Hot Sauce, hoping Shaq would enjoy them. While, we know his his mom made them in a whole variety of ways, we couldn’t help making some wings we would enjoy as well. The wings were surprisingly spicy, and Leanna said, “I wish we had some ranch right now… That would really compliment these wings. ”Out of nowhere, Shaquille O’Neal produced a jar of ranch with a flourish and a wink. “"

He rose to national prominence as he became the first guard in league history to be drafted out of high school, drawing comparisons to NBA legend Michael Jordan. From 2000 to 2002, the dynamic duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Bryant completed a three-peat, winning three NBA championships. However, issues between the two worsened the team. O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat prior to the 2004-05 NBA season. Bryant and coach Phil Jackson have been leading the Lakers since. Bryant was ranked #59 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of All Time in 2003. In 2003 Bryant made headlines when he was accused of rape."

He did, but said he would sit with his fellow students during an afternoon ceremony when he will be handed his bachelor’s degree. “He probably worked harder and longer for this than for any of those other awards,” said Mike Mallet, O’Neal’s academic adviser at LSU. “ You can imagine what he had to do to complete all the requirements while playing in the NBA.”Keeping His Promise O’Neal is playing hooky from the Los Angeles Lakers to attend the graduation ceremonies at LSU.

The Boston Globe (h/t Daily Mail) reports the former NBA superstar and current analyst for TNT's Inside the NBA decided the time had come to end his longtime relationship with Alexander, who appeared in VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love Money . The two were seen back in Boston just a few weeks ago as O'Neal finished up some scenes for the new Adam Sandler movie, Grown Ups 2 . There is no confirmation as to exactly what went wrong with the relationship. However, gossip site Media Take Out.com states the split came directly from O'Neal in response to a fight the two had outside of an Orlando-area gym. According to their sources, the two attempted to gain entry to Orlando Metro Gymnastics, but Alexander was turned away because the establishment only trains young women 18 years old or under, citing insurance purposes. Allegedly, Alexander completely lost it and went on a tirade. According to Media Take Out.com, Shaq was abhorred by the scene, and a spat began between the two outside the gym. After Alexander allegedly launched some nasty names his way, O'Neal called it a day on the whole relationship."

However, after Shaq stepped off the court something incredible happened: he became a consummate businessman with a number of exciting, very profitable ventures. During Shaquille O’Neal’s long playing career, he earned an estimated $292,198,327 — that’s a ton of money. What’s amazing is that with the way his investments and business ideas have performed, he stands to make more with his ventures than he did playing in the NBA. Today, Shaquille O’Neal is worth over $350 million, and the number only climbs higher each year as his business portfolio grows and reaches new heights of success. O’Neal has been sticking his hands into various pots and reaping millions for a while now, but few people have any idea just how far his entrepreneurship goes. He’s never stepped completely out of the media spotlight, but he’s chosen to play it very smart with his investments and he doesn’t flaunt what he’s up to. Shaq simply assesses a business idea’s potential, creates a plan, and then makes it happen. Here are just a few business arenas where Shaquille O’Neal has won big.

Its great mass lies between the large Central Valley depression to the west and the Basin and Range Province to the east. Extending more than 250 miles (400 kilometres) northward from the Mojave Desert to the Cascade Range of northern California and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada varies from about 80 miles wide at Lake Tahoe to about 50 miles wide in the south. Its magnificent skyline and spectacular landscapes make it one of the most beautiful physical features of the United States. Biologically, it is home to the largest trees in the world—the giant sequoias. As a recreation centre, its year-round facilities prove a magnet to the inhabitants of the huge urban areas of California, and it has considerable importance as a source of power and water. It was the focus of the celebrated California gold rush. Physical features of western North America. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The Sierra Nevada range is an excellent example of how the human occupation and use of an area can modify its landscape. First mining and later logging and tourism have done more in 150 years to alter the flavour of the mountain scenery in many areas than the actions of ice and water over millennia."

"text": "Sierra Nevada Airstreams -|- Owners Guide Enjoyment of the whispering winds, the zephyrs, the airstreams of the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin areas of the United States in a recreational vehicle. Trailer Wheel Bearings Bryan and Dave's Greasy Adventure The standard recommendation is that you re-pack your trailer wheel bearings once a year. This is because trailers tend to sit a lot and that can contribute to condensation inside the wheel and that can lead to rust which, in turn, leads to particles which can score surfaces and cause friction and bearing failure. Re-packing the bearings also makes it easy to inspect your brakes and running gear in order to detect and fix potential problems before they become a hazard. Doin' the wheel bearing 'thang' is not that complicated or sophisticated a task and can easily be done by amateurs willing to wrestle with awkward and heavy tires and hubs. Plan on an hour or two for each wheel (under half hour if you are serious and have everything figured out). Be sure to take appropriate safety measures. Set up a spot with plenty of working room that is well lit and free of dust and grit. Keep wheels chocked to limit any trailer motion. If using jacks to lift the trailer be sure to use jack stands as a backup."

King Huber ROCKS, THE BUILDING MATERIALSYosemite is renowned for its magnificent rock exposures. Although granitic rocks dominate the Yosemite scene, various metamorphic and volcanic rocks are also present. Together, these rocks form Yosemite’s foundation. Granite, Granite Everywhere Granite, in the broad sense of the term, is a massive rock with a salt-and-pepper appearance due to random distribution of light and dark minerals. The mineral grains are coarse enough to be individually visible to the naked eye. Granite is a plutonic igneous rock. There are two types of igneous rock—plutonic and volcanic. Both types result from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, or magma. Magma originates deep within the Earth and rises toward the Earth’s surface at temperatures of about 1,000 °C if granitic in composition and of as high as 1,200 °C if basaltic—by comparison, steel melts at about 1,430 °C. Magma that cools and solidifies within the Earth’s crust forms plutonic rock (named for Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld)."

There are several national parks, wilderness areas and national monuments located there, including the famous Yosemite. The Sawatch range is part of the Rocky Mountains, and is located in central Colorado. Most of the mountains can be climbed by “simple” hiking, and don’t require special rock climbing skills.

"text": "Quaternary Glaciation of the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains Calif Tervo27 November 2013Prepared for ES767 Quaternary Geology Dr. J. Aber, Emporia State University Contents:• Abstract •• Glacial History •• Geology and Topography •• West Side Glaciers • Kern Basin Glaciers • East Side Glaciers •• Conclusions •• References •Abstract During the Quaternary Period, the Sierra Nevada Mountains (Sierras) experienced several extensive glacial episodes. The glaciers of the Sierras were not connected with the Wisconsinian continental glacier but formed independently. From Yosemite Park north, these glacial episodes were characterized by westward flowing glaciers fed by large, thick, upland ice fields that had domed caps that did not reflect the covered topography. The ice fields covered the mountains except for a few nunataks. However, from Sequoia Park south, these glacial episodes did not include large ice fields, but, instead, were characterized by glaciers substantially confined to their cirques and canyons and leaving exposed peaks and ridges. This was partially due to lower latitude, but mainly due to topography. The southern Sierras include an additional north-south crest, i.e., the Great Western Divide, and the south-flowing Kern River Basin that provides an additional drainage and divides the precipitation. Back To Contents Glacial History The Sierras experienced at least six major and minor periods of Quaternary glaciation. There is disagreement on the number and names. One source lists them, from oldest to youngest, as: Glacial Episonde Dates of Occurrence Mc Gee about 1.5 Ma Sherwin about 1 Ma Tahoe about 70-150 Ka Tioga about 19-26 Ka Recess Peak about 14-15 Ka Matthes (Little Ice Age) stadial."

Frémont and Kit Carson ascended the Truckee River on January 16, 1844 they called it the Salmon Trout River, [1] after the huge Lahontan cutthroat trout ( Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) that ran up the river from Pyramid Lake to spawn. However, the river was ultimately named after a Paiute chief known as Truckee who in 1844 guided an emigrant party from the headwaters of the Humboldt River to California via the Truckee River, Donner Lake, and Donner Pass. Appreciative of their Indian guide's services the party named the river after him. [ 7] The chief's real name might not have been Truckee, but perhaps Tru-ki-zo, which could have become distorted as \"\"Truckee\"\"."

In contrast, Donner Summit's annual average precipitation is nearly 54 inches with most of the precipitation falling as snow. Precipitation is rain and snow melt combined.

Caution is advised in those who have cardiovascular disease. Rare but serious side effects include prolonged erections, which can lead to damage to the penis, and sudden-onset hearing loss. Sildenafil should not be taken by people who take nitrates such as nitroglycerin (glycerin trinitrate), as this may result in a severe and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.

Men worldwide suffer from ED (of different origin) and search for reliable ways of treating it. Tadacip offers a new method of dealing with ED once and for all. Tadacip is manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla and provisioned in a form of yellow firm-coated pills with 10 or 20 mg of active ingredient – Tadalafil (Sildenafil citrate). This Tadacip acting ingredient is a PDE5 – inhibitor. It works by relaxing smooth muscles in your body. This type of muscles is found in porous tissues of the penis and in arteries near heart. Thus said, Tadacip efficiently increases diameter of blood vessel, helping to improve blood circulation, fill penis with blood and maintain a stable erection, ensuring a great sexual experience. As other medications of Sildenafil family, Tadacip should be consumed once a day, preferably about an hour before possible sexual intercourse. Unlike other ED treatments, sildenafil does not work on its own, so erection is triggered only by sexual lust and drive during prelude."

Erectile Dysfunction Definition Erectile dysfunction (ED), formerly known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to engage in sexual intercourse. Description Under normal circumstances, when a man is sexually stimulated, his brain sends a messagedown the spinal cord and into the nerves of the penis. The nerve endings in the penis releasechemical messengers, called neurotransmitters, that signal the arteries that supply blood to thecorpora cavernosa (the two spongy rods of tissue that span the length of the penis) to relax andfill with blood. As they expand, the corpora cavernosa close off other veins that would normallydrain blood from the penis. As the penis becomes engorged with blood, it enlarges and stiffens,causing an erection. Problems with blood vessels, nerves, or tissues of the penis can interferewith an erection. Causes and symptoms It is estimated that up to 30 million American men frequently suffer from ED and that it strikes up to half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70. Doctors used to think that most cases of ED were psychological in origin, but they now recognize that, at least in older men, physical causesmay play a primary role in 60% or more of all cases."

Author Frances Itani brings the reader to a small, pre-World War I Ontario town called Deseronto, where the O'Neil family owns a hotel. The book follows the story of Grania O'Neil, a girl who lost her hearing when she was five years old as a result of contracting scarlet fever. The novel follows Grania and her family as they learn to accept and adapt to her as a non-hearing person. The first part of the novel establishes the central role Grania's grandmother, known as \"\"Mamo,\"\" plays in helping Grania acquire and understand the language of the hearing world, and in convincing Grania's parent to send her to the School for the Deaf in a nearby city. Though the separation from her family is initially traumatic for Grania, the School for the Deaf opens a world of friendship, opportunity and love for Grania. The second half of the novel alternates between Grania's narrative and that of her young husband, Jim, who becomes a stretcher bearer in the First World War. The novel parallels her struggle with the hearing world with Jim's struggle to survive, in mind and body, the staggering, soul-killing horror of war.

"text": "Whether you’re just getting started in archery or you’re getting back into the sport after being away from it a while, it can be confusing to know what equipment you should and should not get right away. There’s a ton of fancy and not-so-fancy stuff out there, but some of it is not really needed until you build up your skill level a bit. We hope this article will help you understand what things you absolutely have to have to get started, what accessories are a good idea but you can do without at first, and which items you might start planning to pick up along the way. Items You MUST Buy to Get Started These are things you simply cannot do without, because they’re essential to the sport of archery, whether you’re just kicking around in the backyard or getting ready to take your archery out onto the competition range or the hunting lands.a) The Bow You will need a bow, of course. You can’t practice archery without a bow, and you should make sure you buy the best recurve bow that fits your budget. Fortunately, we have a list of the best recurve bows for every budget range. Our recurve bow reviews are also a must-read.b) The Bow Stringer A bow stringer is essential to any recurve archer’s kit, because it is the only way to safely and consistently string a bow. The bow stringer helps you safely use your body weight to bend the recurve bow enough to slip the string over the limb tips. Your grandfather might have used a “step-through” method to do this, but that is dangerous for both you and your bow, so make sure you always use a bow stringer to put the string on your recurve bow. Recommended: Selway Limbsaver Recurve Bow Stringer (amazon.com link)Other alternatives (amazon.com link)c) Arrows Arrows, along with field tips, are the next required item, and you should purchase more than one."

In this article, we discuss historic attempts to induce Hb F that have resulted in some therapeutic approaches to manage SCD and β-thalassemia. We then go on to discuss how more recent molecular studies that have identified regulators, including BCL11A, MYB, and KLF1, hold great promise to develop targeted and more effective approaches for Hb F induction. We go on to discuss strategies by which such approaches may be developed. Older studies in this field can provide important lessons for future studies aimed at developing more effective strategies for Hb F induction, and we therefore chronologically cover the work accomplished as this field has evolved over the course of the past four decades. As with many facets of the history of the hemoglobin field, the study of the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch and work on fetal hemoglobin silencing has a rich and storied history that spans the course of several decades. In this work, we begin with a historic overview of this field and then move on to discuss more recent molecular findings that are providing important new insight into this process. There is great hope that these new molecular studies may lead to important targeted therapeutic advances for fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) induction. However, the historic work in this field suggests that the road to effective therapies may not always be straightforward and reconsidering seemingly simple observations can often yield important new insights. There are many valuable lessons that can be learned from both the historic and more recent work in this field and therefore we attempt to cover the chronology of findings that have resulted in our current understanding of the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch."

"text": "\"Home About Silicon Valley Silicon Valley is in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California in the United States. The region is home to many of the world's largest technology companies including Apple, Cisco, Google, HP, Intel and Oracle. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area; it is now generally used as a metonym for the American high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States and the world, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for 1/3 of all of the venture capital investment in the United States. Since the early twentieth century, Silicon Valley has been home to a vibrant, growing electronics industry. The industry began through experimentation and innovation in the fields of radio, television, and military electronics. Stanford University, its affiliates, and graduates have played a major role in the development of this area. A powerful sense of regional solidarity accompanied the rise of Silicon Valley. From the 1890s, Stanford University's leaders saw its mission as service to the West and shaped the school accordingly. At the same time, the perceived exploitation of the West at the hands of eastern interests fueled booster-like attempts to build self-sufficient indigenous local industry."

Johnson Dan Snierson June 12, 2015 AT 12:00 PM EDT [SPOILER ALERT: Do not read this story until you have seen Sunday night’s season finale of Silicon Valley . ] To the victor goes the spoils, but for Pied Piper, victory is almost always spoiled. That was truer than ever in Silicon Valley ‘s stressful, stellar season 2 finale, “Two Days of the Condor.” The HBO comedy about a scrappy tech start-up gave Richard (Thomas Middleditch) and his middle-out mates a huge triumph in their season-long legal war with Hooli, but also dropped a buzzkill bomb on the gang in the episode’s final moments as Raviga managing partner Laurie Bream (Suzanne Cryer) called an emergency board meeting and ousted Richard as CEO of the very company that he founded. Why so much pain for Pied Piper? Where does that leave Richard & Co.? EW requested a sidebar with the judge— Silicon creator/executive producer Mike Judge—to get some answers to our questions. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Last season ended with Pied Piper winning Tech Crunch Disrupt, scoring $50,000, and theoretically pleasuring many men. This season was a rough one for the crew from the start, and ended with Raviga seizing control of the company and Richard being fired. Did you just really want to put them through the ringer this season, even more so than last year?"

"text": "Gil Silberman, lives in San Francisco Answered May 8, 2012 · Author has 5.5k answers and 12.4m answer views The Bay Area is a geographic location, nine counties surrounding a body of water. Silicon Valley is a state of mind. More specifically, Silicon Valley is used to denote a business culture among software and other tech startups, venture capitalists, (somewhat archaically) semiconductor and device manufacturers, and ancillary businesses (press, public relations, law, real estate, staffing, and so on). It describes the companies, the people, the industry, the sense of place, and the culture. It's comparable to using Hollywood as shorthand for the entertainment industry, Capitol Hill for politics, or Wall Street for finance. There are a lot of archaeological maps like this one, showing dig sites for the bones of dinosaur companies that once roamed the region Technically, the Bay Area is the entirety of the following counties, running clockwise from San Francisco: Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano (the forgotten county), Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo. If you want to impress people you can commit this to memory, as most lifelong residents can't remember them all in one sitting. Most people would exclude the rural outer fringes of these counties in their conception. The Bay Area, officially Silicon Valley is geographically based too, and its center of gravity has shifted from Santa Clara County and the Valley proper, where the great first and second generation tech companies started, up through Palo Alto and Menlo Park in San Mateo County, and more recently, towards San Francisco proper. Today there is as much or more investment and innovation in new companies in San Francisco as San Jose."

"text": "Financing Your Next Startup As An Uber Driver Posted on August 19, 2013 in Web Matt Asay Contributing Writer Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup’s money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. Uber X Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as Uber Cab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber’s introduction of Uber X in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you’re also going to have a non-commercially licensed driver.

"text": "\"03 Oct 2014Analyzing Angel List Job Postings, Part 2: Salary and Equity Benchmarks A few weeks ago, I did a basic analysis of Angel List job postings. That analysis looked at attributes like job locations, vesting schedules, and commonly requested skills. In this post, I'll look at salary and equity numbers based on startup size. In my experience, founders frequently give out equity grants that are too generous or too stingy. The dangers of stinginess are that candidates will choose to work somewhere else and that you will waste a lot of time interviewing people who definitely won't take your offer. The danger of generosity is that, especially for the first few hires, you are giving away much more equity than you need to. That equity could be used to give stronger offers to multiple candidates later on, to raise more money from investors, or to retain more decision-making power for founders. Background Every job posting on Angel List has a salary range and an equity range. For example, at the time of this writing, Casetext is hiring a full-stack software engineer and offering $90k - $125k in salary and 0.3% - 1.5% in equity. Two notes on these ranges: first, the more senior and well-qualified you are, the closer your offer will be to the top of the company's salary/equity ranges."

The \"\"valley\"\" in its name refers to the Santa Clara Valley in Santa Clara County, which includes the city of San Jose and surrounding cities and towns, where the region has been traditionally centered. The region has expanded to include the southern end of Santa Clara County down to Gilroy and southern portions of the East Bay in Alameda County. The word \"\"silicon\"\" originally referred to the large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers in the region, but the area is now the home to many of the world's largest high-tech corporations, including the headquarters of 39 businesses in the Fortune 1000, and thousands of startup companies. Silicon Valley also accounts for one-third of all of the venture capital investment in the United States, which has helped it to become a leading hub and startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and scientific development.

"text": "Jordan: the Middle East’s Silicon Valley?by Nancy Messieh — Jun 7, 2011 in Middle East16 78shares You might think that the United Arab Emirates with its futuristic skyscraper cities would be the beating heart of what is Middle Eastern technology today. However, a much more unassuming, low-key country is earning itself that title through an impressive number of persevering, talented and creative entrepreneurs. Jordan is at the top of the list for the most technology startups, and its developers are at the forefront of some of the most popular Middle Eastern startups to have come out of the region. Until recently, the country was probably best known for its ancient ruins in Petra, but now the small kingdom finds itself leading the pack in innovative technology. A quick look at one of the most comprehensive databases of Middle Eastern startups at Yalla Startup will show that Jordan is dominating. Maktoob is one Jordanian company that stands out in particular, and is a major trophy on the list of Jordan’s tech achievements. It made headlines when it was acquired by Yahoo in 2009 for over USD 80 million, symbolizing the first significant step in the international tech arena by a purely Middle Eastern company. So what is it about Jordan that has it coming out on top? There is definitely something to be said for having the support of the Jordanian monarchy, with the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship (QRCE) playing a large role in fostering Jordanian talent. Queen Rania herself was the first among Middle Eastern leaders to understand and embrace the value of social media, creating an instantaneous and direct link with her audience through her You Tube channel and Twitter account."

I grew up in west San Jose and now live in downtown San Jose. One thing I really like about downtown San Jose is it's possible to easily get by without a car. Caltrain provides frequent train service between the Diridon San Jose station in downtown San Jose and Palo Alto. There are other Caltrain stations in San Jose—Tamien, Capitol, and Blossom Hill—but not nearly as many trains service those stations. Check out the Caltrain Weekday Timetable to see what I mean. If you want to live near a train station and have frequent train service to enable flexibility in your work hours, then you can't beat downtown San Jose. On the other hand, if you can work a set schedule or are open to driving to the station downtown, then living in other areas of San Jose are possible. San Jose State University is downtown, so there is a large student population that lives on campus and in nearby apartments and houses. SJSU has traditionally been a commuter campus, but a growing number of students live on campus and nearby, giving downtown more of a college town feel in recent years."

PERSONAL COMPUTERPersonal Computers, microcomputers were made possible by two technical innovations in the field of microelectronics: the integrated circuit, or IC, which was developed in 1959; and the microprocessor, which first appeared in 1971. The IC permitted the miniaturization of computer-memory circuits, and the microprocessor reduced the size of a computer's CPU to the size of a single silicon chip. The invention of the microprocessor, a machine which combines the equivalent of thousands of transistors on a single, tiny silicon chip, was developed by Ted Hoff at Intel Corporation in the Santa Clara Valley south of San Francisco, California, an area that was destined to become known to the world as Silicon Valley because of the microprocessor and computer industry that grew up there. Because a CPU calculates, performs logical operations, contains operating instructions, and manages data flows, the potential existed for developing a separate system that could function as a complete microcomputer. The first such desktop-size system specifically designed for personal use appeared in 1974; it was offered by Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS). The owners of the system were then encouraged by the editor of a popular technology magazine to create and sell a mail-order computer kit through the magazine. The computer, which was called Altair, retailed for slightly less than $400. The demand for the microcomputer kit was immediate, unexpected, and totally overwhelming. Scores of small entrepreneurial companies responded to this demand by producing computers for the new market."

"text": "Cattle Breeds - Simmental Simmental History Simmental is a breed of cattle whose history dates back to the Middle Ages. Early records indicate that Simmental cattle were the result of a cross between large German cattle and a smaller breed indigenous to Switzerland. The name Simmental is derived from the name of the area where the cattle were first bred - the Simme Valley which is situated in the Berner Oberland in Switzerland. Technically, the Simmental designation includes several breeds in Europe. Photo courtesy of Drumsleed Simmentals, www.drumsleedsimmentals.co.uk The name is given specifically to the breed in Switzerland, while in Germany and Austria it is known as Fleckvieh, and in France as Pie Rouge. The Pie Rouge includes three separate herd book registries namely Abondance, Montbeliard and Pie Rouge de l'Est. Since its origin in Switzerland, the breed has spread to all six continents. Total numbers are estimated between 40 and 60 million Simmental cattle worldwide, with more than half in Europe. The worldwide spread was gradual until the late 1960's. Records show that a few animals were exported to Italy as early as the 1400's."

Are you meaning fetal development, or in a heifer? In the heifer, the udder starts to form as her unborn-calf develops, although this development can vary dramatically from heifer to heifer. Some fully bag-up (are full of milk) weeks before the calf is born; some do not get a full udder... What is the estrus period of a cow? The estrous cycle of cattle is the period from one estrus (heat, phase of sexual receptivity) to the next estrus. For the cow and heifer, this period averages 21 days, with a typical range of 18 to 24 days in length. When roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color genes how would one produce a herd of pure-breeding roan-colored cattle? Genetics is a tricky thing and there are no 100% guarantees that you will get the color you want."

Steps1 Do a search on the Internet or in a Cattle Breeds book for \"\"Holstein-Friesians\"\" or \"\"Holsteins. \"\" 2 Study the characteristics of the breed. Note the following: Colouration: Most Holsteins are black-and-white. This colour pattern always is patchy, with big black, rounded patches over the animal's body. Some Holsteins may be more white than black than others, and other Holsteins may be more black than white than others. Occasionally you may see a cow that will be all black with very little white in her, or be all white with very little to no black on her. There are actually exceptions to the black-and-white colouration here. There is a recessive gene in Holsteins (just like in Angus cattle) that can make a cow red-and-white. Red Holsteins are actually shunned by many Holstein breed associations because they are not considered a \"\"pure\"\" breed as the \"\"real\"\" B&W Holsteins are."

Early records indicate that Simmental cattle were the result of a cross between large German cattle and a smaller breed indigenous to Switzerland. The name Simmental is derived from the name of the area where the cattle were first bred - the Simme Valley, which is situated in the Berner Oberland in Switzerland. Technically, the Simmental designation includes several breeds in Europe. The name is given specifically to the breed in Switzerland, while in Germany and Austria it is known as Fleckvieh, and in France as Pie Rouge. The Pie Rouge includes three separate herd book registries namely Abondance, Montbeliard and Pie Rouge de l'Est. more...

The average cow size across all breeds is 1,390 lbs., with less than 100 lbs. separating the heaviest and lightest breeds. Heather Hamilton | Dec 27, 2011Producing heavy feeders that perform and provide quality carcasses start with cows that are able to produce that type of calf, and still work in the ranching environment, says Ken Olson, South Dakota State University Extension beef specialist. Addressing the recent Range Beef Cow Symposium in Mitchell, NE, Olson began by talking about feeder cattle. He cited work by Kansas State University’s Justin Waggoner, who is involved in an ongoing feedlot project called ‘Focus on Feedlots.’ The project has amassed 20 years of data from Kansas feedyards varying in size from 10,000-head to 75,000-head capacities. “ There is a steady trend upward over the 20 years for both steers and heifers, and we’re putting on an additional 150-170 lbs. at finishing today."

The foreign breeds and their crosses are large and do not usually finish well on the range. Supplementation has not been used extensively in Botswana due to high cost of imported feeds. This study investigated the use of locally available agricultural by-products for feedlot finishing of young crossbred males commonly used in Botswana. The low, medium and high roughage diets were balanced for crude protein and mineral content but differed in digestible energy. Animals fed the low and medium roughage diets had average daily gains above 1.0 kg per day, except for Brahman and Santa Gertrudis crosses which had daily gains of 0.8 kg per day when fed the low roughage diet. Crosses of South-Devon, Charolais, Santa Getrudis and pure Brahman fed the low roughage diet had cold dressed mass above 200 kg, whilst the Sussex crosses had cold dressed mass of 188 kg. Based on this information, it is recommended that for animals raised on the range, finishing off should be done using low roughage diets for all breeds. Medium roughage diets can be used but will result in lower gains. Further research is needed to evaluate the digestibility of diets by the animals and to carry out the economics of intensive fattening using locally available feed resources."

"text": "\"The Seven Rules for Producing Great Beef: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Feeding cattle: gauging the correct finishing weights on pasture Image Credit: Sue Clark, Flickr, CC BY 2.0In the previous article of this series ( Rule # 1) about the Seven Unbreakable Rules for Producing Great Beef, I explained how, when feeding cattle for slaughter, beef tenderness and flavor depends on microscopic intramuscular fat deep within the muscle fibers of the beef animal. I also explained that this vital microscopic intramuscular fat is only deposited once cattle reach maturity - it does not develop in younger cattle no matter how obese they get. But beef cattle come in many different sizes, which means that the time it takes to fatten cattle for slaughter will vary dramatically depending on their size. This has some serious implications for how you structure your cattle finishing strategy. This article I will explore how the breed and size of individual cattle affects their target \"\"finished weight\"\" when they are fat enough to go to slaughter. ( Rule # 2)The ‘finished weight’ when an animal is fat enough for slaughter will vary from breed to breed and depends on the frame size of the individual animal. Frame Size vs Finishing Weight A smaller-boned animal stops growing earlier than a larger-boned animal. It will therefore be finished sooner, but at a lighter weight than a taller larger-framed animal. While this seems rather obvious, it is a key reason why many novice grass-fed producers feeding cattle for slaughter fail to produce consistently tender, flavorful beef. A common mistake among many pasture-finishing programs is that they fail to account for size differences in their cattle finishing programs."

Steps1 Start by typing in \"\"Cattle Breeds\"\" in a search engine like Google or Yahoo!. You will find many different links of pages that have many different cattle breeds, from Oklahoma State University's Breeds of Livestock website to discovering many common cattle breeds at Cattle Today.com and on The Cattle Site.com .2 Study the pictures of each of the breeds you come across and take note of the following: Colouration This will involve a description of not only the various colours that an animal of a certain breed can come in, but also the location of where most of these colours occur, whether it's varied, or in a certain location like the black or red points found on British White, American White Park and Ancient White Park cattle. Body type and characteristics This often includes hair type (short and sleek or long and shaggy), muscling tendencies and frame size in comparison with other similar breeds, length of leg and/or body in relation to body/leg size, and the average weight of both cows and bulls. This section also tells you if the breed being referred to is dairy or beef or both. Remember that dairy cattle tend to be more angular- and thinner-looking with a more defined and larger udder (in cows only). Beef cattle tend to be more blocky and muscular than dairy cattle, with a seeming more rounded appearance, but at the same time not fat-looking (however there can be exceptions: see How to Judge Body Condition Scores in Cattle for more). Head characteristics This includes whether the breed can be horned or polled or both and the length and size of the horns (if any), the size of the head in comparison to the body, length of the face, and coarseness/fineness of the head. Other characteristics Often a brief history lesson and where the breed originates from is put into here, as well as the characteristics that make the breed what it is today. Such qualities as maternal qualities (e.g., milking ability, mothering ability and calving ease) and terminal/marketing traits (e.g., carcass characteristics and muscling) are mentioned.3 There are specifically two different types of breeds in the world: these are Dairy and Beef breeds. Cattle that are dual-purpose breeds like Red Polls, Dexters and Devon cattle, to name just a few, may be put into the beef category, seeing as they are not specifically dairy cattle but have the looks of a typical beef animal."

By Mark Schatzker Can you tell how good a steak is going to taste by looking at it? The government thinks you can. That's why, when a USDA meat grader assesses the quality of a beef carcass, he or she makes an incision between the 12 th and 13 th rib, takes a good look at how much marbling there is, and assigns the meat a grade, from the highest, Prime, to Choice and Select and all the way down to Canner. That's why a well-marbled steak, one that is abundantly flecked with little specks and streaks of white fat, costs a lot more than a steak that's all red muscle. But is marbling all there is to a good steak? Doesn't, say, a cow's diet have something to do with the way a steak tastes? And can someone please explain why that gargantuan USDA Prime strip loin I ate in Las Vegas last year had about as much flavor as a cup of tap water? I decided to find out for myself."

Although the first herd book was established in the Swiss Canton of Berne in 1806, there is evidence of large, productive red and white cattle found much earlier in ecclesiastical and secular property records of western Switzerland. These red and white animals were highly sought because of their \"\"rapid growth development; outstanding production of milk, butter, and cheese; and for their use as draught animals.\"\" they were known for their imposing stature and excellent dairy qualities. As early as 1785, the Swiss Parliament limited exports because of a shortage of cattle to meet their own needs. The Swiss \"\"Red and White Spotted Simmental Cattle Association\"\" was formed in 1890. Since its origin in Switzerland, the breed has spread to all six continents. Total numbers are estimated between 40 and 60 million Simmental cattle world-wide. More than half of these are in Europe. The spread was gradual until the late 1960s."

Wagyu beef is often referred to as Kobe or American Style Kobe beef in reference to the region in Japan where the cattle were first raised. The original import of these cattle to the U. S. in 1976 consisted of two Tottori Black Wagyu and two Kumamoto Red Wagyu bulls. Wagyu is a horned breed and can be either black or red. Wagyu cattle were derived from native Asian cattle which were crossed with British and European breeds in the late 1800’s. They provided a much needed source of agricultural power to pull the plows for the cultivation of rice – power for the growth of a nation. The Shikoku region received the first imports, but because rugged terrain impaired travel in the region, further migration of the cattle was slow. The cattle were in isolated areas, each essentially a closed population. Generally segregated by topography, those animals were the ancestors of today’s Japanese Wagyu breed of cattle. Interestingly, there was a sound reason for breeding the Wagyu cattle for use only as draft animals or beasts of burden; at the time Japanese religion prohibited the consumption of beef."

Top Abstract Maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) has been used extensively to determine origin and diversity of taurine cattle ( Bos taurus) but global surveys of paternally inherited Y-chromosome diversity are lacking. Here, we provide mt DNA information on previously uncharacterised Eurasian breeds and present the most comprehensive Y-chromosomal microsatellite data on domestic cattle to date. The mitochondrial haplogroup T3 was the most frequent, whereas T4 was detected only in the Yakutian cattle from Siberia. The mt DNA data indicates that the Ukrainian and Central Asian regions are zones where hybrids between taurine and zebu ( B. indicus) cattle have existed. This zebu influence appears to have subsequently spread into southern and southeastern European breeds. The most common Y-chromosomal microsatellite haplotype, termed here as H11, showed an elevated frequency in the Eurasian sample set compared with that detected in Near Eastern and Anatolian breeds. The taurine Y-chromosomal microsatellite haplotypes were found to be structured in a network according to the Y-haplogroups Y1 and Y2. These data do not support the recent hypothesis on the origin of Y1 from the local European hybridization of cattle with male aurochsen."

There is however, little information and research conducted to characterize, understand and develop the communal cattle production systems in Zimbabwe. This review focuses on the importance of communal cattle production, constraints to sustainable production and research needs necessary to improve the production systems. Communal cattle production in Zimbabwe is extensive and dominated by indigenous cattle which are adaptable to the local environment. Their important functions, which include provision of food security and socio-cultural role, are discussed. The major constraints identified are high disease and parasite prevalence, low level of management, limited dry season forage availability and poor marketing management. Any improvement in these constraints may lead to a sustainable increase in communal cattle production. Key words: cattle characterisation, indigenous cattle, production systems Introduction The cattle population in Zimbabwe is estimated to be between 4-5 million (Mashoko et al 2007), with 89 % of the herd found in communal areas (Mavedzenge et al 2006; Ndebele et al 2007). A larger proportion of the cattle population (3.5 million) found in the communal area (Assan 2012) are mainly of indigenous breeds with an estimated 88% of households owning indigenous cattle (Ndebele et al 2007) or crossbreds of predominantly indigenous blood. A greater proportion of exotic breeds are in the commercial sector (Mavedzenge et al 2006; Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) 2006; Mpofu 2002) where indigenous breeds are considered unproductive due to their small frame (Francis and Sibanda 2001)."

An ancient breed, the ability to adapt to its environment has allowed them to become influential in cattle markets across the world. Simmentals were developed at a time that cattle were multipurpose creatures, not only were they raised for their meat but also for their heavy milking ability and even draft uses. The fact that they were so extensively used made it necessary to highlight docility amongst planned crosses. Most of these traits, some now enhanced, continue in the modern Simmental. The Simmental traces its origins to the Simme Valley in Switzerland. Impressive in size, Simmentals had an early worldwide distribution, some areas having more success in their production than others. Simmentals are known by distinct names, all having regional breeding focuses. The Pie Rouge of France has an emphasis placed on beef production; their cattle are thick with heavier musculature. The Montbeliarde was bred to continue the heavy milking potential of the Simmentals."

Summary: Understanding the genetic basis of coat color can help create more uniform progeny groups and aid in marketing crossbred calves. Crossbreeding provides commercial cattlemen the opportunity to combine desirable characteristics of two or more breeds (breed complementarity – see fact sheet 2014-5) and increase performance due to hybrid vigor (heterosis). The single strongest argument for crossbreeding is the advantage in fertility and longevity of crossbred cows. With all of the advantages crossbreeding provides, designing an effective mating system should be a top priority for all commercial cattlemen. To plan an effective crossbreeding system, it is helpful to consider any potential detractors that are easy to address. One such detractor exists due to market discrimination against certain breeds and/or colors and lack of uniformity in color. As we increase the number and diversity of breeds involved in crosses, we decrease our ability to maintain complete control of coat color in the offspring unless it was taken into account during breed selection. With that in mind, knowing the basics of coat color inheritance can help producers know what to expect from various breed/composite pairings relative to color pattern. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide guidance on how to maintain a uniform color pattern when formulating crossbreeding systems."

"text": "SIMMENTAL CATTLEThe Simmental breed is one of the oldest and most widely distributed breeds of cattle in the world. The original herdbook for registrations was established in Switzerland in 1893, and the breed now makes up over half the population of cattle in that country. Simmental is second only to the Brahman bred in terms of world-wide numbers with total purebred registrations now exceeding 40 million head. Originally developed as a duel-purpose breed, Simmental were used for both milk and meat production in the European countries. American cattlemen, searching for faster-growing and more efficient cattle, began to import Simmental in the late 1960’s. As they infused these new genetics into their herds they found that, not only did they increase weaning weights by 50 to 75 pounds, but they also improved feedlot gains and efficiency. The females that were retained in the herd were early maturing, highly fertile and gave ample milk to raise a heavy weaning calf. These positive attributes have made the Simmental breed one of the fastest growing and most significant breeds in American beef cattle production. Ongoing university research continues to prove that Simmental-sired cattle produce carcasses that hit the production target for cutability more often than any other breed, and they are very acceptable in hitting the quality target as well. American Simmental breeds, using performance criteria and physical evaluations, have produced a trend in the breed of moderating calving ease, increasing weaning and yearling performance, while maintaining milk production and superior carcass traits."

Tech 12/27/2013 @ 8:48AM 47,645 views Why JD Edwards Wins The Battle For ERP Leadership Alexander Wolfe , Oracle News flash from the customer experience trenches: If users aren’t happy with your software, you’re sunk. Call this the consumerization of IT, or even the Apple effect. However, it’s not limited to smartphone apps or time-wasting fluff like “Angry Birds.” Line-of-business software also lives or dies on user perceptions, and no less so because the yeas and nays come from within your very own organization. It doesn’t matter if your IT vendor claims its code is nominally working as intended. If, say, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system gets tagged as difficult or confusing, there’s nothing left to do but call a time out. That’s the lesson one world-class company is finding out the hard way, after pouring millions of dollars into a modernization effort that’s taken as long as some Presidents (Jimmy Carter, Millard Fillmore) have served in office. Here’s how the Wall Street Journal reported the news last Wednesday:“Avon is pulling the plug on a $125 million software system rollout that has been in the works for four years after a test of the system in Canada drove away representatives the door-to-door beauty product company relies on to drive sales. While the new system based on software supplied by SAP worked as planned, it was so burdensome and disruptive to Avon representatives’ daily routine that they left in meaningful numbers."

"text": "RELATED EXPERTISE Digital Transformation, Transformation of the Tech Function, Technology & Digital Digitization and Simplification Getting the Best of Both December 2, 2014 By Michael Grebe, Olivier Morbé, and Sabine Döschl In the digital age, companies are expected to connect with customers and run IT in simpler, more agile ways. In addition, companies need to provide accessible new channels for customers and suppliers, develop applications quickly, and optimize their use of the cloud and their data. Although IT complexity can hinder these efforts, there’s a common perception that the problem resolves itself once a company starts down the digital path. Companies look at digital start-ups and see that they have managed to be nimble without simplifying. For many businesses, this begs a question: Is simplification still necessary in the digital era? The short answer is yes. Indeed, in our experience, companies put themselves in the best position to reap the rewards of their digitization efforts when they undertake IT simplification in tandem. For example, consider the three main opportunities of digitization: Stimulating growth in and around the core business by enhancing product offerings, gaining actionable insights (such as those that can be garnered from analyzing big data and monitoring social media), and improving the customer experience Spurring efficiency by streamlining processes (for example, by automating the supply chain) and reducing cost Transforming the core by optimizing the IT landscape and building up digital capabilities throughout the organization to better compete—and succeed—in the digital age These opportunities hold great promise. But to take advantage of them, businesses will have to answer the following questions: How can we make the multitude of data sets accessible for more than their original purposes, unlocking the value for the benefit of the entire enterprise? How can we adjust our product portfolio and application architecture to support the digitization of business processes?"

The Department of Health and Human Services can work with the private sector to reduce health care administrative costs. See also: Paper Cuts by Elizabeth Wikler, Peter Basch, and David M. Cutler Download this column (pdf)Read this in your web browser (Scribd)Administrative costs in the U. S. health care system consume an estimated $361 billion annually—14 percent of all health care expenditures in our nation. At least half of this spending is considered wasteful. In a time of large budget deficits, tackling excessive administrative costs offers a promising opportunity for reducing health care costs while improving patient care. The proposals outlined below can lead to systemwide savings of up to $40 billion per year by eliminating wasteful administrative spending. Our current system of administrative complexity Administrative costs: Who pays how much? How much can we save? Opportunities for savings and administrative simplification Administrative complexity exists at all levels of the health care system, resulting in inefficient spending and delays in care. To reduce this burden we have developed a three-pronged strategy focused on integration, coordination, and leadership."

Some phonologists view simplication as a result of constraints on the ways that a language allows consonants to combine into syllable structures, while others attribute it to articulatory causes. These views are not necessarily incompatible. An example of cluster simplification in English occurs in a word like handball. At normal speaking rates, this word is pronounced as [hæmbal], so that the alveolar stop /d/ is deleted between consonants /n__b/, and the nasal is assimilated to the /b/ in ball. To begin our discussion of cluster simplification in Central Catalan, we turn in (5) to a set of words whose roots end in a consonant cluster.

Beginning early in the XXth century, Chinese linguists developed schemes for the simplification of the writing system so as to promote popular literacy. Simplified characters are the fruit of these efforts. The system of \"\"simplified characters,\"\" that is to say, the corpus of both modified and unmodified characters that makes up the standard writing system of China today, was first promulgated in a tentative draft in 1956. For the next decade or so, much publishing made use of mixed simplified and traditional type fonts that conformed to neither the new standard nor traditional usage. That transitional stage did not outlive the destruction of the publishing industry during the Cultural Revolution. Today virtually all publishing conforms to the new standard except when the intended audience is Chinese outside of China. Even though many characters were not changed, the total official writing system is usually called \"\"simplified characters\"\" (jiǎntǐzì 簡體字 / 简体字 ). The contrasting name for the traditional character set is usually \"\"traditional\"\" in English, or in Chinese \"\"complex\"\" (fántǐzì 繁體字 / 繁体字 ). ("

"text": "Embedded Systems Definition: An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software which creates a dedicated computer system that performs specific, pre-defined tasks and which is encapsulated within the device it controls (if it is part of a larger device). Embedded systems can be found in an enormous range of electrical items ranging from simple, inexpensive products such as digital watches to expensive, complex products such as automobiles. Features of Embedded Systems The versatility of the embedded computer system lends itself to utility in all kinds of enterprises, from the simplification of deliverable products to a reduction in costs in their development and manufacture. Simplification, Miniaturisation and Cost Reduction Embedded systems are designed to perform simple, repeatable tasks - often with little or no input from the user. Since the first microprocessor was introduced into pocket calculators there has been a concerted drive to reduce the size and complexity of computerised systems in electronic devices. Embedded systems are based on the concept of the microcontroller, a single integrated circuit that contains all the technology required to run an application. Microcontrollers make integrated systems possible by combining several features together into what is effectively a complete computer on a chip, including: * Central Processing Unit * Input/Output interfaces (such as serial ports) * Peripherals (such as timers) * ROM, EEPROM or Flash memory for program storage * RAM for data storage * Clock generator By integrating all of these features into a single chip it is possible to greatly reduce the number of chips and wiring necessary to control an electronic device, dramatically reducing its complexity, size and cost. Uses of Embedded Systems There are endless uses for embedded systems in consumer products, with new methods of exploiting them presented every year at such industry events as the MEDC and the Embedded Systems Conference. The most obvious beneficiaries are those enterprises concerned with the manufacture and sale of electrical devices, as the inclusion of microcontrollers to replace general purpose microprocessors can drive down unit manufacturing costs and end user prices dramatically, resulting in increased sales and an improved profit margin. The use of embedded systems in electrical products can also solve many problems of complexity and product size."

The concepts of adaptation and evolution are intimately related to the way a system, or a collection of similar systems, respond and change in the context of their environment. Specifically, the concepts of adaptation and evolution refer to changes in a system that affect how it responds to repeated instances of similar or related conditions. These concepts have a biological or social flavor. However, the response of a physical system can also change as a result of environmental forces."

It captures the essence. It means to change the way something is written to make it simpler to understand, yet without changing its value. For example, the fraction 372/744 looks weird and difficult to understand. You can simplify it by dividing BOTH the numerator and the denominator by the same value. This makes the numbers smaller without changing the value of the fraction. Example: 372/744 divide both by 4 93/186 divide both by 3 31/62 Now,. just by looking at it, you see that 62 is twice 31. So divide both by 31 and you get 1/2 By simplifying, we changed the appearance of the fraction without changing its value. 372/744 is the same fraction as 1/2 In algebra, it could mean to take a polynomial and find its factors."

Job analysis provides job related data as well as the skill and knowledge expected of the incumbent to discharge the job. Job design involves organizing tasks, duties and responsibilities into a unit of work to achieve certain objectives. Job design is the process of deciding on the contents of a job in terms of its duties and responsibilities, on the methods to be used in carrying out the job in terms of techniques, systems and procedures, and on the relationships that should exist between the job holders and his supervisors, subordinates and colleagues. ADVERTISEMENTS: The main objectives of job design are to integrate the needs of the individuals and the requirements of the organisation. Needs of the employees include job satisfaction in terms of interest, challenge and achievement? Organisational requirements are high productivity, technical efficiency and quality of work.1. Job Rotation: It is one of the methods of job design which is an answer to the problem of boredom. Job rotation implies the shifting of an employee from one job to another without any change in the job. With job rotation, a given employee performs different jobs but, more or less, jobs of the same nature."

"text": "\"Little Richard Net Worth How much is Little Richard Worth?in Richest Celebrities › Singers Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Random Celebrity Little Richard net worth:$40 Million Little Richard Net Worth: Little Richard is an American musician who has a net worth of $40 million. Born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon, Georgia, in 1932, Little Richard earned his nickname because of his petite frame. He started singing in his local church choir, and when he was 14 years old, he was invited to sing with a nun during her concert. Little Richard began performing with several bands, including Buster Brown's Orchestra, and he scored a record deal in the early '50s, though he had to wait several years for mainstream success. His 1955 single \"\"Tutti-Frutti\"\" was almost an instant hit, which he followed up with popular songs such as \"\"Good Golly Miss Molly\"\" and \"\"Send Me Some Lovin'\"\". He released his solo debut album, \"\"Here's Little Richard\"\", in 1957, which broke into the top 15 on the U. S. charts. Little Richard is credited with pioneering the early rock 'n' roll movement. During the '50s, he appeared on-screen in several movies, including 1956's \"\"Don't Knock the Rock\"\", 1957's \"\"The Girl Can't Help It\"\", and 1957's \"\"Mister Rock 'n' Roll\"\". In the latter half of the decade, Little Richard gave up on rock music in order to focus solely on gospel tunes, with his religious debut album, \"\"God Is Real\"\", recording in 1959. Five years later, he returned to rock 'n' roll."

Spanning 1,000 years and with a combined fortune of $4.317trillion, o nly three of the list's 25 are alive today; none of them are women and 1 4 of them are American. Using the annual 2199.6per cent rate of inflation, where $100million in 1913 is equal to $2.299.63billion in 2012, Celebrity Net Worth 's list includes familiar names like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett; but sitting at number one is Mansa Musa I of Mali. Centuries apart: Mansa Musa I (left) was a 12th century African King, and the richest person to ever live worth $400 billion; Bill Gates (right) ranks 12th with a inflation adjusted $136 billion fortune at his peak in 1999The West Africa king, the richest person in history, and the ruler of the Malian Empire which covered modern day Ghana, Timbuktu and Mali in West Africa,had a personal net worth of $400billion at the time of his death in 1331. The list also includes the man who gave America Wal-Mart, another who developed mail-order shopping around 1870, as well as a few nobles who helped with the Norman conquest of England in the Battle of Hastings nearly one thousand years ago. The Rothschild family, second on the list, are the richest people on earth today with assets that total at least $350billion - their wealth divided amongstmining, banks, private asset management, mixed farming, wine, and charities. Meanwhile John D. Rockefeller, third on the list, is the richest American to have ever lived, worth $340billion in today's USD at the time of his death in 1937. In comparison, the poorest man on the list is 82-year-old Warren Buffett, who at his peak net worth, before he started giving his fortune to charity, was $64billion.1.

August 16 2016Fucoidan substances are sulfated polysaccharides extracted from brown algae and have been studied for diverse biological activities. It appears this substance has blood thinning properties and has an influence on the immune system. Some are promoting fucoidan supplements for weight loss. I have seen fucoidan being promoted as an antiviral agent and antioxidant. As of 203, I have not come across reliable human studies to give me a clue of the clinical uses of this algal extract. I do not know the appropriate dosages, benefit and side effects of fucoidan supplements. There is some early laboratory and animal research that indicates it could have certain health benefits. Fucoidan (sulfated alpha-L-fucan) is a sulfated polysaccharide and found primarily in the cell walls of several species of brown seaweed, such as kombu, limu moui, wakame, hijiki, and bladderwrack. Lending a slippery texture to these sea plants, it also provides protection for them, even in strong sunlight and harsh environments. This substance has also been found in varying forms among marine animals such as the sea cucumber."

"text": "\"Titanic is a The theatrical poster for Titanic.1997 epic romance, drama and disaster film starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Kate Winslet, and Billy Zane. It was directed by James Cameron. It was a fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic and followed the forbidden romance of a beautiful first-class woman (Kate Winslet) and a penniless third-class artist (Leonardo Di Caprio) aboard the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. The film also stars Gloria Stuart, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, David Warner, Victor Garber, and Bill Paxton. Cameron saw the love story as a way to engage the audience with the real life tragedy. In 1995, production began on the film when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron used as a base while filming the actual wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built in Baja, California, at Playas de Rosarito. Scale models and CGI effects were also used to create a more realistic version of the ship. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, its distributors."

A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks; he felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional impact of the disaster. Production began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes on the research vessel were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. Scale models, computer-generated imagery, and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Baja Studios, at Playas de Rosarito in Baja California were used to re-create the sinking. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox. It was the most expensive film ever made at the time, with a production budget of $200 million. Upon its release on December 19, 1997, Titanic achieved critical and commercial success. Nominated for 14 Academy Awards, it tied All About Eve (1950) for the most Oscar nominations, and won 11, including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director, tying Ben Hur (1959) for the most Oscars won by a single film."

"text": "\"On February 28, 2014, Humanities Texas held a one-day teacher professional development workshop in Austin focusing on the history and literature of the Harlem Renaissance. Professor Cary D. Wintz, Distinguished Professor of History at Texas Southern University, opened the workshop with the following lecture titled \"\"The Harlem Renaissance: What Was It, and Why Does It Matter?\"\" In his remarks, Dr. Wintz addresses the origins and nature of the movement—a task, he says, that is far more complex than it may seem. Dr. Wintz is a specialist in the Harlem Renaissance and in African American political thought. Wintz is an author or editor of numerous books including Harlem Speaks; Black Culture and the Harlem Renaissance; African American Political Thought, 1890–1930; African Americans and the Presidency: The Road to the White House; and The Harlem Renaissance in the West. He served as an editor of the Oxford University Press five-volume Encyclopedia of African American History, 1896 to the Present, and the Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance (Routledge). He is a native Houstonian and a graduate of Rice University and Kansas State University. What was the Harlem Renaissance and when did it begin? This seemingly simple question reveals the complexities of the movement we know varyingly as the New Negro Renaissance, the New Negro Movement, the Negro Renaissance, the Jazz Age, or the Harlem Renaissance. To answer the question it is necessary to place the movement within time and space, and then to define its nature."

In 1978, at a young age, Sissel shared her parents' love of nature - they would often take hikes in the mountains surrounding Bergen - but by the age of 9 she found a new hobby: music. She joined her first childrens choir, a group she would stay with for seven years. Passers-by would often tell her and the other children that, because their voices were so clean and pure, they sounded like an English boys choir. In 1980 Sissel won her first local talent competition. During her childhood, Sissel was exposed to many different genres of music, which influenced the varied classical pop she´s known for creating today. Her parents introduced Sissel to country and classical music, and her big brothers shared their passion for rock music. Early on, however, Barbra Streisand became one of Sissel´s musical idols, and later she discovered such jazz divas as Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, and opera star Kathleen Battle. In 1982 the main local newspaper, Bergens Tidende, features Sissel after she wins another local talent show. In 1984, a 14-year-old Sissel made her television debut singing as part of a children´s choir on the kids´ show Halv sju broadcast on Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK)."

Now me, I'm not entirely convinced the way that I purl is the best way but it's what I do and it's likely to remain the way I do it since my hands have developed quite a motor memory by now. If you're just starting to knit I would suggest trying different methods to see what works best for you. And if you've got another way to purl continentally I would certainly love it if you sent me a description of it to be included here!In the following all text is referring to the picture below it. When I first learned to purl continentally I wound up using the Combined Knitting's method of purling, because it really is the quickest and easiest method of purling. However, I wasn't sufficiently knowledgeable to realize that it twists each stitch. I almost gave up knitting altogether after getting completely frustrated attempting knit into twisted stitches without the realization that it's necessary to knit through the back loop. ( See here for explanations of twisted stitches and knitting through the back loop. ) Now those who use Combined Knitting have a great advantage in terms of speed and I couldn't dream of explaining it as well as Annie does in her series on combined knitting but I took a couple of pictures anyway, just for the sake of being thorough."

Turn of the century theatre genres included light comedies and operettas. Many traditions were also adapted from vaudeville, and in 1921, Eubie Blake and Noble Sissel’s Shuffle Along became Broadway’s first show produced by and starring black actors. The show is also credited with sparking the Harlem Renaissance. Musicals also made an early debut on Broadway. Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton’s 1915 show Very Good Eddie is often credited as being the first to incorporate songs as part of the action. This style was continued by Kern, Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse, and most fully realized in 1927 in Showboat, the first show in which songs were written to match the story line, rather than the other way around. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, the theatre community rallied."

Pronounce Cecilia [ 3 syll. ce - ci - lia, cec -il- ia ] The baby girl name Cecilia is pronounced Sah-S IY L-Yah or Sah-S IY -Liy-ah (English), CHeh-CH IY -LYaa (Italian), -THeh-TH IY -LYaa (Spanish), or Seh-S IY -LYaa (Spanish-Latin American) †. Cecilia is of Latin origin. It is used mainly in English, Finnish, German, Italian, Scandinavian, and Spanish. An old form of the name is Caecilia (Latin). The first name is derived from the Roman family name Caecilius; the surname could be of Etruscan origin, or else it could be from the Latin caecus, possibly first used in tribute to an important ancestor who was blind. Saint Cecilia (176-180), the patron saint of music, was a possibly mythical figure whose tales of martyrdom for rejecting Roman gods and subsequent large cult following helped promote the popularity of the name among medieval Christians. The name was introduced by the Normans into England, often in the form Cecily, as borne by one of the daughters of William the Conqueror. The Latinate form Cecilia was first used by English speakers in the 18th century. In literature, it has appeared as the name of the titular heroine Cecilia Beverley in Frances Burney's novel Cecilia (1782), and as the name of Cecily Cardew in Oscar Wilde's comedy The Importance of Being Earnest (1895)."

They can include any of the following: Planning, preliminary engineering, and project design Environmental impact report Project-related staff training Final engineering Land acquisition Construction costs, including improvements to existing facilities Equipment and vehicle purchases Equipment required for project operation (for example, wireless transponders for electronic toll collection)Decommissioning costs for facilities that are no longer needed For project alternatives that use new and relatively unproven technologies, special care is needed to develop realistic estimates of the initial costs. It may be appropriate to perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how higher costs for unanticipated changes to the design would affect the project's cost efficiency. Projects that are dependent on one another should be considered together if possible. The same is true for projects that will be completed in several phases. When interdependent projects cannot be analyzed as a single entity, care should be given to proper accounting of the relevant joint costs. For example, if a project proposes to expand a wharf so that it can accommodate larger ships, the analysis should include an appropriate share of the cost of any dredging needed to allow the ships to reach the wharf, even though the dredged channel will also be used by vessels destined to other nearby facilities. For projects with optional additional phases, only the first phase of the project should be analyzed, since there is no guarantee that the future phases will ever be implemented. However, the first phase might be compared to an alternative that combines other phases. This will give decision-makers an idea of the role of subsequent phases in the overall efficiency of the project."

It was introduced by engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [ 1] [2]Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995. It seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, mainly empirical, statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits. The term Six Sigma (capitalized because it was written that way when registered as a Motorola trademark on December 28, 1993) originated from terminology associated with statistical modeling of manufacturing processes. The maturity of a manufacturing process can be described by a sigma rating indicating its yield or the percentage of defect-free products it creates. A six sigma process is one in which 99.99966% of all opportunities to produce some feature of a part are statistically expected to be free of defects (3.4 defective features per million opportunities)."

Now companies are using it for everything from reengineering environmental health services to making accounts receivable more efficient. But it doesn't work for all businesses. Here are four things to consider before unleashing Six Sigma throughout your organization.by Jim Biolos Six Sigma programs have traditionally been prescriptions for quality improvement in manufacturing industries. But today service firms—and service functions within almost every sector—are also using Six Sigma methods to boost performance. Six Sigma was originally developed at Motorola in the 1980s for production processes because of the high volume and the high degree of standardization that define such activities. Its goal is to eliminate waste by achieving near-perfect results (Six Sigma-level quality means no more than 3.4 defects per million). General Electric, Allied Signal, and other well-known manufacturers credit Six Sigma with billions of dollars in savings. But Six Sigma is not just for nuts and bolts anymore. Companies are using it to shape up such nonmanufacturing processes as accounts receivable, sales, and R&D. Dow Chemical, for example, estimates that the application of Six Sigma to environmental health, and safety services has saved the company $130 million in the past two years; other initiatives are under way for corporate R&D, finance, information systems, legal, marketing, public affairs, and human resources processes."

Lean was developed by Toyota Motor Corp. as an extension of the Ford Motor Co. manufacturing system. Toyota took what it learned from Ford and advanced the concepts to a broader level. This helped improve productivity and profitability. Six Sigma as developed by Motorola was an extension of many of the quality tools and techniques already around, but Motorola added the component of financial accountability. This resulted in process improvement gains at Motorola that improved productivity and profitability. Different approaches, similar results. It was inevitable people would start to merge the approaches. The results depended on the circumstances. Results were complementary when the Champion and Six Sigma team worked to find the best combination of techniques to create a robust solution."

In Six Sigma, a well thought out and proper Process Design is very important for the process to be efficiently implemented for a longer term. We can design a process for an existing process which has no proper design and documentation or of course for a new process that we create from ground up. For this exercise of process design, it’s very important to first identify the various tasks in that process then identify the roles (people or groups or departments) and finally their responsibilities for a given task. Not all roles have a responsibility towards a task and a given task may not associate to all roles. Typically we associate a task with at least one role or in some cases multiple roles. You can divide this ‘Association’ of the role with a task into the following four association types, which together form the RACI acronym (full form or pronunciation).

It goes beyond just isolated improvement projects, and is best implemented using a system of components designed to clarify an organization's goals, stakeholders, and needs. All these steps contribute to its success. Establish Roles Six Sigma is most successful when leadership is truly committed to the philosophy and methodology it entails. In larger companies, a Director or other high-level employee takes the lead role in creating and guiding Six Sigma efforts. Also for large-scale efforts, Black Belts should be trained up front as they will be responsible for leading improvement projects, and in some cases for advising process owners on establishing appropriate metrics and procedures. Within each operational area of an organization, the Process Owners need to be identified. These are the individuals who will be responsible for tracking their group's processes and performance and determining what action to take when improvement is needed. Green Belt training may also be established so that Process Owners and other key employees have the basic understanding and tools for working with Black Belts and managing processes. Create a Dashboard Once personnel are in place, the team needs to start at the highest level, by determining how it defines the organization's success."

"text": "Zero Defects: What Does It Achieve? What Does It Mean? Phillip H. Williams 19The definition for Six Sigma was clear from the beginning – 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO), allowing for a 1.5-sigma process shift. But the definition for zero defects is not so clear. Perhaps zero defects refers to the domain beyond 3.4 DPMO. Or perhaps it refers to designing defects out of the process or product, so that – theoretically at least – a company can consistently manufacture a defect-free product. There is value in trying to understand the meaning and purpose of this oft-used term, and whether its use is the best approach in a Six Sigma environment of continuous improvement. Possible Pitfalls of Pushing Zero Defects Quality guru W. Edwards Deming believed that slogans and programs such as zero defects are usually counterproductive. D. C. Montgomery, author of the book Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, agrees, commenting that these programs typically do not drive the “use of proper statistical and engineering tools into the right places of the organization,” and they “devote far too little attention to variability reduction.” In other words, the use of slogans such as zero defects to spur quality may lead to a de-emphasis of the tried-and-true tools and culture associated with successful continuous improvement."

Six Sigma – what does it mean?“Six Sigma is a quality program that, when all is said and done, improves your customer’s experience, lowers your costs, and builds better leaders. — Jack Welch Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

"text": "The Power of ZA common statistical way of standardizing data on one scale so a comparison can take place is using a z-score. The z-score is like a common yard stick for all types of data. Each z-score corresponds to a point in a normal distribution and as such is sometimes called a normal deviate since a z-score will describe how much a point deviates from a mean or specification point. In Six Sigma parlance, z-score and process sigma are used interchangeably and are sometimes called z-equivelents. Strictly speaking, the process sigma and z-equivalents are loosely tied to the statistical z-score. The statistical z-score has very strict definitions derived from the rules of the normal distribution. For most applications in Six Sigma, ignoring some of those constraints is innocuous. In usability testing the benefit of the standardization from process sigmas allow us to meaningfully compare disparate measures like task completion and time on task. The z-score/process sigma is calculated by subtracting your sample mean from a target data point and dividing by the target standard deviation. This value is a measure of the distance in standard deviations of a sample from the mean and is expressed using the Greek letter σ."

The title is “Six Sigma ‘Killed’ Innovation in 3M”. Here’s the link: http://www.zdnet.com/six-sigma-killed-innovation-in-3m-7000012593/An excerpt from the main interviewee: “The Six Sigma process killed innovation at 3M,” said Nicholson. “ Initially what would happen in 3M with Six Sigma people, they would say they need a five-year business plan for [a new idea]. Come on, we don’t know yet because we don’t know how it works, we don’t know how many customers [will take it up], we haven’t taken it out to the customer yet. ”The article lists Geoff Nicholson as the former vice president for international technical operations and the “father” of the Post-It note initiative. In my opinion, this is analogous to saying that people don’t kill people, guns kill people. Was it really the Six Sigma process that killed innovation, or was it the leadership in place and the management structure and decisions about innovation at the company that killed innovation? I also find it frustrating that associate editor Ryan Huang didn’t go into any detail on the article with respect to this point. It seems like pop-culture journalism, where the most sensational headline runs regardless of truth."

Originally, it was defined [2] as a metric for measuring defects and improving quality; and a methodology to reduce defect levels below 3.4 Defects Per (one) Million Opportunities (DPMO). Six Sigma is a registered service mark and trademark of Motorola, Inc [3]. Motorola has reported over US$17 billion savings [4] from Six Sigma to date. GE became one of the early adopters of Six Sigma and reported benefits of over US$300 million during its first year of application [5]. It played a vital role in popularizing Six Sigma. Other major organizations who claim to have benefited from Six Sigma implementation are Ford, Caterpillar, Microsoft, Raytheon, Quest Diagnostics, Seagate Technology, Siemens, Merrill Lynch, Lear, 3M and many more. Contents [ show]Definition Edit Six Sigma has now grown beyond defect control. It can be defined as a methodology to manage process variations that cause defects, defined as unacceptable deviation from the mean or target; and to systematically work towards managing variation to eliminate those defects [6]. The objective of Six Sigma is to deliver world-class performance, reliability, and value to the end customer. Application & Success Edit Starting with manufacturing, today Six Sigma is being widely used across a wide range of industries like banking, business process outsourcing (BPO), telecommunications, insurance, construction, healthcare [7], and software [8]. Some non-manufacturing examples are given below: Healthcare Edit North Carolina Baptist Hospital says [9], \"\"The Six Sigma process improvement deployment at North Carolina Baptist Hospital is starting to show the kind of results that convert skeptics to believers.\"\" and \"\"A Six Sigma process improvement team charged with getting heart attack patients from the Emergency Department into the cardiac catheterization lab for treatment faster slashed 41 minutes off the hospital's mean time\"\"Banking Edit Bank of America has used Six Sigma for credit risk assessment reduction, fraud prevention, and customer satisfaction improvement, etc. Bank of America’s Six Sigma initiative resulted in benefits of more than US$2 billion; and increased customer delight by 25% [10] . Insurance Edit Insurance companies have used Six Sigma for various critical tasks like premium outstanding reduction and various cycle time reductions."

The Six Sigma methodology is not a revolutionary way of thinking, and it does not provide a radically new set of quality tools. It is more of an evolutionary development in the science of continuous improvement that combines the best elements from many earlier quality initiatives. Although some of the tools used in Six Sigma, such as quality function deployment (QFD), are relatively new, most, such as the fishbone diagram, date back 50 years or more. The philosophies related to Six Sigma have existed in one form or another even longer than that (see Figure 1 ). Customer focus, data driven decision making, business results focus and process understanding are not new approaches to business success. What is new, and what makes Six Sigma so powerful, is the combination of these elements with a rigorous, disciplined approach and well-publicized, proven business successes. General George Patton was a great student of history. He believed those who did not learn from past mistakes were doomed to repeat them. This is true in the field of quality and continuous improvement, as well."

The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, [2] tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. [ 3] The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus and contains critical components of the hematopoietic system. [ 4]This system describes how bones are connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments. The bones provide stability to the body. Muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in the movement of bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly onto each other."

"text": "Fibrous connective tissue, sometimes referred to as FCT, is tissue made up of high-strength, slightly stretchy fibers. These fibers consist mainly of collagen, water, and complex strands of carbohydrates called polysaccharides. They provide support and shock absorption to surrounding organs and bones. As the cells and fibers in this tissue are so densely packed together, they are sometimes simply referred to as dense connective tissues. Connective tissue is one of the four main kinds of tissue within the body and is found throughout to hold other tissues and organs together. The non-living portion of these tissues, such as that found in fibrous connective tissue, is known collectively as matrix. Damage to this tissue or degenerative diseases may cause a loss of support, grinding bones, inflammation, and pain. There are many kinds of connective tissue in the body, and many of these tissues contain the fibrous strands of the protein collagen, which adds strength. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, and ligaments, as well as cartilage, bone, fat tissue and even blood. Some of these tissues, such as blood, contain living cells that are grouped together and carry nutrients throughout the body."

Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Musculoskeletal is a general term which, as its name suggests, relates to the muscles and the skeleton of the body. More specifically, the musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bursae. The musculoskeletal system provides stability and also allows for movement of the body. Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System Bones - There are 206 bones in the adult human body. The structure of bone consists of a hard outer part made of proteins (mostly collagen) and hydroxyapatite (mostly calcium and other minerals). The inner portion of bone, called trabecular bone, is softer than the hard outer cortical bone, but it still is necessary for maintaining bone strength. While the structure of all bone is the same, the bones perform various functions in the body: Bones provide structural support for the body (i.e., a skeletal frame for attachment of organs and tissues) and protect certain organs (e.g., rib cage protects the heart). Bones store the majority of calcium in the body. Bones have an inner cavity which contains the bone marrow where red blood cells, white blood cells, and other components of blood are produced."

Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Exceptions to this are the action of cilia, the flagellum on sperm cells, and amoeboid movement of some white blood cells. The integrated action of joints, bones, and skeletal muscles produces obvious movements such as walking and running. Skeletal muscles also produce more subtle movements that result in various facial expressions, eye movements, and respiration.

Bones get their elasticity from tough elastic ropelike fibers of collagen. The core of some small bones is called marrow, it is soft and jellylike. The hard outside of bones is reinforced by strong rods called osteons."

"text": "The Skeletal System This is an excerpt from the Aquatic Fitness Professional Manual-6th Edition by the Aquatic Exercise Association. The function of the skeletal system is to give rigidity and form to the body. Your basic body shape is genetically determined in large part by your bone structure. If we had no bones we would be a mass of flesh and organs resembling a jellyfish. The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and shape. The rib cage and scapula protect vital organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver found in the thoracic cavity of the body. The skull bones in the head surround and house the brain. Bones also provide the body with leverage, something essential to movement. In addition to providing structure, the bones manufacture red blood cells and store minerals.ab on page 20)Long bonesdiaphysisepiphysis Short bones Flat bones Irregular bonesperiosteumendosteummedullary cavity Classification of Bones Bones are divided into four basic types or classifications (figure 2.1, a-b on page 20). Bone classification is based primarily on the shape of the bone."

"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 two basic types of skeleton found among animals are the exoskeleton and the endoskeleton. The shell of the clam is an exoskeleton composed primarily of calcium carbonate. It provides formidable protection, but it is bulky and severely restrictive of movement. The smallest exoskeletons are found on microscopicanimals such as diatoms and certain protozoans. Coral reefs are made up of the accumulatedexoskeletons of the coral polyp. The firm, flexible, chitinous (horny) insect skeleton is a combination of protective armor and a framework for attachment of the muscles used in rapid movement. Thedisadvantage of an exoskeleton is that it is nonliving, and must be shed periodically to allow forgrowth—a process limiting the maximum size of the organism. The endoskeleton, a framework of living material enclosed within the body, permits larger sizecoupled with freedom of movement and is characteristic of vertebrate animals. In certain fish, it is made up entirely of cartilagecartilage, flexible semiopaque connective tissue without blood vessels or nerve cells."

He said I had to use it or risk blowing the chain and case. I asked if he was on some kind of drug. Ok, in the last 20 years I have never heard of that. The sleds are a 2002 Summit and 2004 Renegade.

"text": "Amsoil vs. Harley Synthetic Oil Wear Test Comparison – AMSOIL vs. Harley Screamin’ Eagle SYN3The introduction of Screamin’ Eagle® Synthetic Lubricant by Harley-Davidson® indicates the Motor Company has finally recognized the benefits of running synthetic motorcycle oil in their air-cooled engines. After years of advising dealers and customers to avoid using synthetic oils in their bikes, it’s natural to wonder why the company is suddenly marketing one. For the past 25 years, Harley-Davidson® has claimed its petroleum-based Genuine H-D Oil is best for the “unique requirements of Harley-Davidson® air-cooled V-twin engines.” However, laboratory testing has consistently revealed that Genuine H-D Oil does not provide the best protection possible for Harley-Davidson® engines. In fact, Four-Ball Wear Tests show Harley- Davidson® 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil leaves a wear scar nearly 80 percent larger than that left by AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil. Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D4172), 40kg pressure @ 150 degrees C, 1800 rpm for 1 hour duration The Four-Ball Wear Test is the industry’s standard test method for measuring the wear preventive characteristics of a lubricant. Placed in a bath of the test lubricant, three fixed steel balls are put into contact with a fourth ball in rotating contact at preset test conditions. Lubricant wear protection properties are measured by comparing the average wear scars on the three fixed balls. The smaller the average wear scar, the better the protection. One of the major benefits of running a synthetic motorcycle oil is its resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, which inhibit the formation of sludge and deposits that contribute to increased wear."

"text": "2015 Arctic Cat Lynx 2000 LT Review Story by Jerry Bassett Photos by Bassett Archives & Arctic Cat Jun. 17, 2014Share Comments This fan-cooled touring sled is a great value for two As snowmobilers, once we see a sled listed as a “value” model, we almost automatically write it off our list as a nice-to-have sled. We suggest that you not be too quick to dismiss the 2015 Arctic Cat Lynx 2000 LT if you are looking for a solid two-passenger carrying snowmobile. At a suggested retail price of US$6,999, the Lynx can fool you into thinking that its only redeeming value is its price. Price is a good place to start as the Lynx 2000 LT retails for thousands less than the all-new Pantera 7000 Touring, Cat’s next step up in its trail touring, passenger carrying models. Obviously those extra dollars for the Pantera get you an all-new model with a much more powerful Yamaha three cylinder, four-stroke engine. Don’t despair; the Lynx 2000 LT is very impressive in its own right. Well, mostly!With dual 34mm carburetors and Arctic Cat’s Diamond Drive, the 2015 Lynx 2000 LT is built on Cat’s Twin Spar chassis, making it a reliable and nimble two-up touring sled. The only weak point we see is the 565cc fan-cooled two-stroke engine. It’s perfectly adequate, but at its claimed 65 hp rating, it pales compared to the next available engine series, Cat’s 5000 C-TEC4 with a claimed 125 hp. So, what can you expect with the Suzuki-built two-stroke twin?"

"text": "\"How to Remove the Inner Primary Cover From a Harleyby Don Davis There are few reasons to remove the inner primary cover on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. However, the most common are: to install a wide drive belt and offset pulley, to remove the inner primary cover bearing or to replace both primary covers with flashier chrome ones. Removing the inner primary cover is an advanced Harley project. Do not try this at home unless you are completely confident that you can take your motorcycle apart and put it back together again. Raise your motorcycle completely off the ground with a motorcycle jack and ensure that the motorcycle is stable. Locate the primary fluid drain plug in the lower bottom of the outer primary cover. Put a drain pan under the plug, remove the plug with an Allen wrench and drain the primary fluid. Remove the gear shift lever and left foot rest with a socket or box wrench. Remove all five outer primary cover screws with a hex wrench. Use a clutch spring compressor to compress the clutch springs."

"text": "\"Belassi B3R Sport: The world's most powerful PWCMarine Loz Blain October 20th, 201411 pictures Belassi B3R Sport - the world's most powerful production PWCView gallery - 11 images Seven years ago, Gizmag's Mike Hanlon made a bold prediction: the 400-horsepower PWC cometh. With Benelli's top of the line V6 jet ski smashing out some 342 horsepower, and a series of supercharged Hondas, Sea-Doos, MV Agustas and Kawasakis nipping at its heels, it seemed a horsepower war was brewing. But in the aftermath of 2008's global financial system collapse, it seems things have gone back to slightly more sensible levels. We say *more* sensible, because Benelli has just rebranded its PWC business as Belassi and built a brand new, turbocharged engine pounding out 315 horses to take the mantle of the world's current reigning production PWC horsepower champion. It's not the 400-horsepower beast that Mike feared, but it still looks like a heck of a fun way to burn petrol. About seven years ago, HSR-Benelli created the most powerful jet ski in the world. The Series-R Race Edition mashed together two 1130cc, 3-cylinder engines from Benelli's barnstorming Tornado motorcycle to form a fire-breathing, 342-horsepower V6. More recently, the company moved to Thailand and teamed up with Lasselsberger Engineering to form Belassi. This new company immediately set about developing a new engine specifically for marine applications – the I3C16. Staying true to Benelli's 3-cylinder roots, the I3C16 is a 1602bcc, four-stroke triple with an electronically operated E-gas throttle and a dry sump oil system."

It has 4400kms (2700 miles) on it right now so I am hoping that it will get me through the season trouble free and I am considering having it rebuilt through next summer. The rest of the sled is immmaculate so I feel that the motor is the weak link with that many kms on it, dealer says it will outlast the sled but I know they run hard and parts will fail eventually, it is more of a piece of mind thing. From other users experiences, should the top and bottom end be done, or just the top? I have heard of many people doing the pistons and going with double ring pistons. I don't know much about that aspect of the machine so any input and suggestions would be appreciated. Would 1000-1500 get the job done? THanks guys!!

"text": "A Closer Look at PWC Fuel Efficiency Jeff Hemmel June 29, 2009How much fuel are you burning? Last summer, as fuel costs reached — then passed — the $4/gallon mark, some interesting articles appeared in newspapers around the country. More than one noted the trend toward boaters dumping their fuel-guzzling boats in favor of one, or even a pair, of personal watercraft. As PWC engines likewise hit – then passed – the 250hp mark, attention also focused on just how fuel-efficient these little boats really were. Items like superchargers and intercoolers are known to increase fuel consumption. Yet models like the introductory Yamaha VX series openly touted its miserly thirst for gasoline. I wanted to see for myself what was reality and what was hype. I also wanted to confirm at what price came our newfound performance. So when the opportunity presented itself over the past two years, I hooked up an industry-standard fuel flow meter to various boats and recorded the results. As you might expect, the introductory models fared relatively well, while on the high end, you pay to play if you’re heavy on the throttle."

[ 1]The early Arab invaders of Sind in the 8th century, the armies of the Umayyad commander Muhammad bin Qasim, are reported to have enslaved tens of thousands of Indian prisoners, including both soldiers and civilians. [ 2] [3] In the early 11th century Tarikh al-Yamini, the Arab historian Al-Utbi recorded that in 1001 the armies of Mahmud of Ghazna conquered Peshawar and Waihand (capital of Gandhara) after Battle of Peshawar (1001), \"\"in the midst of the land of Hindustan \"\", and captured some 100,000 youths. [ 4] [5] Later, following his twelfth expedition into India in 1018–19, Mahmud is reported to have returned with such a large number of slaves that their value was reduced to only two to ten dirhams each. This unusually low price made, according to Al-Utbi, \"\"merchants [come] from distant cities to purchase them, so that the countries of Central Asia, Iraq and Khurasan were swelled with them, and the fair and the dark, the rich and the poor, mingled in one common slavery\"\". Elliot and Dowson refers to \"\"five hundred thousand slaves, beautiful men and women.\"\". [ 6] [7] [8] Later, during the Delhi Sultanate period (1206–1555), references to the abundant availability of low-priced Indian slaves abound."

In many African societies where slavery was prevalent, the enslaved people were not treated as chattel slaves and were given certain rights in a system similar to indentured servitude elsewhere in the world. When the Arab slave trade and Atlantic slave trade began, many of the local slave systems began supplying captives for slave markets outside Africa.

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

"text": "Race, the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences. Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that “races” are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century. The many meanings of “race”The modern meaning of the term race with reference to humans began to emerge in the 17th century. Since then it has had a variety of meanings in the languages of the Western world. What most definitions have in common is an attempt to categorize peoples primarily by their physical differences. In the United States, for example, the term race generally refers to a group of people who have in common some visible physical traits, such as skin colour, hair texture, facial features, and eye formation. Such distinctive features are associated with large, geographically separated populations, and these continental aggregates are also designated as races, as the “African race,” the “European race,” and the “Asian race.” Many people think of race as reflective of any visible physical (phenotypic) variations among human groups, regardless of the cultural context and even in the absence of fixed racial categories. The term race has also been applied to linguistic groups (the “Arab race” or the “Latin race”), to religious groups (the “Jewish race”), and even to political, national, or ethnic groups with few or no physical traits that distinguish them from their neighbours (the “Irish race,” the “French race,” the “Spanish race,” the “Slavic race,” the “Chinese race”, etc.). For much of the 20th century, scientists in the Western world attempted to identify, describe, and classify human races and to document their differences and the relationships between them."

Understanding its identity within the culture of the United States it is, in the anthropological sense, conscious of its origins as largely a blend of West and Central African cultures. Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of African-Americans to practice their original cultural traditions, many practices, values and beliefs survived, and over time have modified and/or blended with European cultures and other cultures such as that of Native Americans. African-American identity was established during the slavery period, producing a dynamic culture that has had and continues to have a profound impact on American culture as a whole, as well as that of the broader world.

"text": "\"Slavery in Africa I. Introduction Slavery in Africa, the institution of slavery as it existed in Africa, and the effects of world slave-trade systems on African people and societies. As in most of the world, slavery, or involuntary human servitude, was practiced across Africa from prehistoric times to the modern era. When people today think of slavery, many envision the form in which it existed in the United States before the American Civil War (1861-1865): one racially identifiable group owning and exploiting another. However, in other parts of the world, slavery has taken many different forms. In Africa, many societies recognized slaves merely as property, but others saw them as dependents who eventually might be integrated into the families of slave owners. Still other societies allowed slaves to attain positions of military or administrative power. Most often, both slave owners and slaves were black Africans, although they were frequently of different ethnic groups. Traditionally, African slaves were bought to perform menial or domestic labor, to serve as wives or concubines, or to enhance the status of the slave owner. Traditional African practices of slavery were altered to some extent beginning in the 7th century by two non-African groups of slave traders: Arab Muslims and Europeans. From the 7th to the 20th century, Arab Muslims raided and traded for black African slaves in West, Central, and East Africa, sending thousands of slaves each year to North Africa and parts of Asia."

"text": "Stratification Global stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups in societies around the world. Learning Objectives Analyze the three dominant theories that attempt to explain global stratification Key Takeaways Key Points Society is stratified into social classes based on individuals’ socioeconomic status, gender, and race. Stratification results in inequality when resources, opportunities, and privileges are distributed based on individuals’ positions in the social hierarchy. Stratification and inequality can be analyzed as micro-, meso-, and macro-level phenomena, as they are produced in small group interactions, through organizations and institutions, and through global economic structures. There are three dominant theories that consider why inequality exists on a global scale. First, some sociologists use a theory of development and modernization to argue that poor nations remain poor because they hold onto traditional attitudes and beliefs, technologies and institutions. Second, dependency theory blames colonialism and neocolonialism (continuing economic dependence on former colonial countries) for global stratification. Lastly, world systems theory suggests that all countries are divided into a three-tier hierarchy based on their relationship to the global economy, and that a country’s position in this hierarchy determines its own economic development. Key Terms Global Stratification: The hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups in societies around the world.socioeconomic status: One’s social position as determined by income, wealth, occupational prestige, and educational attainment.inequality: An unfair, not equal, state. Global stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups in societies around the world."

Other famous historic slave rebellions have been led by the Roman slave Spartacus (c. 73-71 BC), as well as the thrall (Scandinavian slave) Tunni, who rebelled against the Swedish monarch Ongentheow, a rebellion that needed Danish assistance to be quelled. In the ninth century, the poet-prophet Ali bin Muhammad led imported East African slaves in Iraq during the Zanj Rebellion against the Abbasid Caliphate; Nanny of the Maroons was an 18th-century leader who rebelled against the British in Jamaica; and the Quilombo dos Palmares of Brazil flourished under Ganazumba (Ganga Zumba). The 1811 German Coast Uprising in the Territory of New Orleans was the largest rebellion in the continental United States; Denmark Vesey rebelled in South Carolina, and Madison Washington during the Creole case in the 19th century United States. Ancient Sparta had a special type of serf called helots who were often treated harshly, leading them to rebel. [ 1] According to Herodotus (IX, 28–29), helots were seven times as numerous as Spartans. Every autumn, according to Plutarch ( Life of Lycurgus, 28, 3–7), the Spartan ephors would pro forma declare war on the helot population so that any Spartan citizen could kill a helot without fear of blood or guilt in order to keep them in line ( crypteia ). In the Roman Empire, though the heterogeneous nature of the slave population worked against a strong sense of solidarity, slave revolts did occur and were severely punished. ["

The legalized practice of enslaving blacks occurred in every colony, but the economic realities of the southern colonies perpetuated the institution first legalized in Massachusetts in 1641. During the Revolutionary era, more than half of all African Americans lived in Virginia and Maryland. Most blacks lived in the Chesapeake region, where they made up more than 50 to 60 percent of the overall population. The majority, but not all, of these African Americans were slaves. In fact, the first official United States Census taken in 1790 showed that eight percent of the black populace was free. [ Edgar A.

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In different ways in different places at different times. Early Christianity was widespread across North Africa, and it was part of a Mediterranean Christian culture. Later two cultures as the Roman Empire split. Islam came along and conquered most of that, and also penetrated into the interior. Islam increased trade, such as the trans-Sahara routes, but also increased slavery. There were huge displacements of people in the Sahel as they fled commercial slavers and those trying to impose Islam, and later similar events happened along the East African coast. Much of northern Africa became Islamised, and the Arabic language and culture dominated in many areas. Similarly the East coast developed a hybrid Islamic Swahili culture, as well as being significantly Arabised. Slavery became a major industry and problem outside the area, and Barbary pirates would raid the European coasts as far north as Ireland to capture slaves."

How they spread throughout such a wide area has been the focus of much study and theorizing. It is generally accepted that the Bantu-speaking peoples originated from West Africa around 4,000 years ago, although there is less consensus on the exact reasons for and course of their expansion. Prior to that time, the southern half of Africa is believed to have been populated by Khoisan speaking people. After the Bantu expansion, many of the great kingdoms of South Africa were ruled by Bantu people, who tended to be highly resourceful and adaptable. Their kingdoms traded with the Europeans as they started to colonize Africa; however, the Europeans pressured the existing Bantu populations to move. Although Africans from all over the coastal regions of West Africa were captured and taken as slaves to North America, the Bantu people were among the most numerous.

The difference between the tribal wars in Africa and the wars in the outside world was that, in the outside world, the conquered were often butchered whereas the conquered in Africa (excluding Arabs/Muslims in the north) became part of the conqueror.

Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort How did the Atlantic slave trade begin? The Atlantic slave trade was forged in the crucible of Europe's Commercial Revolution. The main motivator was the wealth that could be made from such an endeavor, which all European countries--from small to large--wanted to take part in. Why was slavery necessary in the New World? Slavery helped sustain the sugar, coffee, and tobacco industries and in general, the entire economy, Europeans conquered the New World primarily for the exploitation of natural resources so labor was obviously needed, but they needed to find a cost-efficient way of doing this so slavery was the answer. Also, key plantation products like sugar, coffee, and cotton were not native to the New World, but some imported slaves were already familiar with the cultivation of these products. In addition, there was a large land-to-man ratio so extensive laborers were needed (land had high potential for mining and agriculture). Due to the slave trade, there was a vast amount of slaves (mostly Africans) to use to help to developed the New World both agriculturally and economically. What was the Middle Passage and why was it important?"

We take a look at some stats... Researchers at 'Action on Smoking and Health' have reported that a 30-year-old smoker can expect to live about 35 more years, whereas a 30-year-old non-smoker can expect to live 53 more years. In addition, the children of a parent or parents who smoke may be at risk from the genetic damage done to the parent before conception (because of their previous smoking), the direct effects to them in the womb, and the passive smoke they are exposed to after they are born. Source: Smokers urged to weigh the 'facts' during the 'Great American Smoke-Out,' Vital Signs, The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, Virginia, Nov. 14, 1993, written by June Russell, a member of Smoke-Free Charlottesville The amount of life expectancy lost for each pack of cigarettes smoked is 28 minutes, and the years of life expectancy a typical smoker loses is 25 years. Source: Dying to Quit,\"\" 1998 book by Janet Brigham Every cigarette a man smokes reduces his life by 11 minutes. Each carton of cigarettes thus represents a day and a half of lost life. Every year a man smokes a pack a day, he shortens his life by almost 2 months. Source: University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter, April 2000There are some 1.1 billion people who smoke on our planet earth. Just less than one-third of all adults in the world smoke regularly. Tobacco deaths will not only occur in old age but will start when smokers are about age 35."

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

Yet an increasing number of studies have found that lung capacity may in fact be just as important a predictor of longevity. Some experts have even called for lungs to be tested the same way as blood pressure or cholesterol. Lung/long life connection“As we age, our lung capacity decreases, and by 60, it’s a third less than it was at 30,” says Dr Adrian Draper, a respiratory consultant at Spire St Anthony’s Hospital, Surrey, and St George’s, London. “Over the years, lung tissue becomes brittle. Breathing can be impaired so less oxygen gets into cells. ”One study by the University of Buffalo, US, found those with the lowest lung function had twice the risk of premature death. And smoking and conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can also reduce lung capacity."

Feeling energetic and optimistic; sleeping well and having good cognitive function all help to make your life more enjoyable and productive. Maintaining muscle strength, flexibility and not suffering with aches and pains are other signs that you are young for your chronological age. Here are my top strategies for delaying aging:1. Take care of your liver The liver is the largest and hardest working organ in the body. According to the Chinese, the liver is the “General of the Army of the Body” and stores the energy or “chi”.

Considered carefully and understood properly, statistics about divorce can offer us one important part of that picture. There’s a great deal of fog today about what the actual divorce rate is in the United States. Some say it’s around 50 percent, others—including some notable authors—say it’s nowhere close to that. Some incorrectly believe that the 50 percent number comes from a simple comparison of the number of weddings and divorces in a given year, yet no serious scholar or demographer has ever measured divorce rates that way. In the world of sociology of the family, few pieces of seemingly objective data have so many different competing interpretations, as a 2014 study, creatively titled “ Breaking Up is Hard to Count ,” has noted. No one but a small handful of family scholars seems sure just what the current rate actually is. But it doesn’t need to be this way. It is important that those who care about the family know the actual divorce rate so we have a sober understanding of how bad the story is regarding marital longevity.

Researchers have found that moderate exercise could halve the risk of dying from a heart attack for someone in their fifties or sixties. Coronary heart disease is the UK’s single biggest killer, causing one death every seven seconds, and exercise has long been seen as a way to reduce the risks by cutting obesity and diabetes. A new study presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress suggested that regular exercise can increase life span. A group of 69 healthy non-smokers, aged between 30 and 60, who did not take regular exercise were tested as part of the study at Saarland University in Germany. Blood tests taken during six months of regular aerobic exercise, high-intensity interval training and strength training showed that an anti-ageing process had been triggered and helped repair old DNA.“This suggests that when people exercise regularly, they may be able to retard the process of ageing,” said Sanjay Sharma, professor of inherited cardiac diseases in sports cardiology at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in London. “We may never avoid be-coming completely old, but we may delay the time we become old. We may look younger when we’re 70 and may live into our nineties. “Exercise buys you three to seven additional years of life. It is an antidepressant, it improves cognitive function and there is now evidence that it may retard the onset of dementia."

By BARRY MEIERView page in Times Machine, Page 001030 The New York Times Archives Federal officials estimate that up to 85 percent of all dwellings in the United States have smoke detectors, but that as many as a third of them may not work. Fire-safety officials have long believed that the leading cause of smoke-detector failure is a power-source problem, primarily dead or missing batteries since most detectors are battery powered. But many of those experts are increasingly concerned that some detectors may fail to work because they are too old. '' Many people are vigilant about keeping their batteries fresh, but they may not realize that the mechanism is worn out,'' said James F. Coyle, the assistant administrator of the United States Fire Administration, which monitors firefighters' safety. John R. Hall Jr., the director of fire analysis and research for the National Fire Protection Association, a fire-safety research group in Quincy, Mass., concurred. '' Like any other electronic device,'' he said, ''smoke detectors have a useful life. '' But the exact length of that life span is unknown. Some fire-safety officials say it is about 10 years, but there has been little research into the life span of detectors. One manufacturer, the Pittway Corporation, which makes about 70 percent of the detectors sold in the United States, recommends that a detector be discarded after 10 years."

"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."

A symbolic representation of the virtues which describes your personality or your higher potential.-Elijah Muhammad (NOI)FEMALE | MALEA beautiful name accompanies us for the rest of our life and is a critical rite of passage in African culture. This act of naming is so critical to self-determination that we have therefore prepared a small sample of popular African names. * When choosing a name take into consideration that some names are religious and cultural (e.g. most Swahili names are Islamic/Muslim, Ghanaian name reflect the day of the birth.) Most names in Africa, unlike in Europe are directly connected to a meaning, i.e. the name ASHAKI means light to all speakers of the language. So most non-European names used by Africans actually still retain their intrinsic meaning. AFRICAN NAMES By Molefi Asante Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

In 1805, the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada bought the lands between Etobicoke and Hamilton from the Mississaugas aboriginal people, except for the land at the mouths of Twelve Mile Creek (Bronte Creek), Sixteen Mile Creek, and along the Credit River. In 1807, British immigrants settled the area surrounding Dundas Street as well as on the shore of Lake Ontario. [ 4]In 1820, the Crown bought the area surrounding the waterways. The area around the creeks, 960 acres (3.9 km 2 ), ceded to the Crown by the Mississaugas, [5] was auctioned off to William Chisholm in 1827. He left the development of the area to his son, Robert Kerr Chisholm and his brother-in-law, Merrick Thomas. Chisholm also formed shipbuilding business in Oakville Navy Street and Sixteen Mile Creek (Halton Region) and lasted until 1842, but shipbuilding in Oakville lasted into the late 20th Century. ["

"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."

My dad was generally the one who always made our sauce; it was one of his favorite things to do on Sunday afternoons. This homemade spaghetti sauce recipe was passed down from my Sicilian grandma.

"text": "Baked Spaghetti Squash with Garlic and Butterposted by Jaden Jump to Recipe Print Recipe The easiest way to cook spaghetti squash is just to bake it whole. Use a sharp paring knife to pierce the skin a few times all around, bake at 375F for about 60 minutes. That’s it! If you’re short on time, you can microwave the ENTIRE thing for 10-15 minutes and save about 45 minutes. Save Why bake spaghetti squash whole? Uncooked, whole spaghetti squash is very difficult to cut open, without the help of a chainsaw! The squash is heavy, the skin is thick, and it’s very dangerous to cut through a wobbly, round object! Oh yes, it also hurts when you drop the bastard on your foot *! @#!*%Y&!! ! In reality, as intimidating as a squash looks, it’s strangely simple to cook."

The Shapes Acini di Pepe (“Peppercorn”) Acini di Pepe is perfect to use in soup recipes. Include them with plenty of vegetables in broths and you’ll have a wonderful outcome.

In Italian cuisine, it is customarily used to dress \"\" tagliatelle al ragù \"\" and to prepare \"\" lasagne alla bolognese \"\". In the absence of tagliatelle, it can also be used with other broad, flat pasta shapes, such as pappardelle or fettuccine. Genuine ragù alla bolognese is a slowly cooked sauce, and its preparation involves several techniques, including sweating, sautéing and braising. Ingredients include a characteristic soffritto of onion, celery and carrot, different types of minced or finely chopped beef, often alongside small amounts of fatty pork. White wine, milk, and a small amount of tomato concentrate or tomatoes are added, and the dish is then gently simmered at length to produce a thick sauce. The earliest documented recipe of an Italian meat-based sauce ( ragù) served with pasta comes from late 18th century Imola, near Bologna. A recipe for a meat sauce for pasta that is specifically described as being \"\"bolognese\"\" appeared in Pellegrino Artusi 's cookbook of 1891. The ragù alla bolognese that is now traditionally associated with tagliatelle and lasagne is somewhat different from Artusi's recipe. Many traditional variations currently exist."

"text": "previously…Jalapeño Quesadillasup next…Chicken Taco Salad Freezer Cooking!by The Pioneer Woman on July 19, 2013987sharetweetpin Tomorrow’s Food Network episode is one of my favorites so far, for a couple of reasons. One, it chronicles the last day of a week of freezer cooking (cooking and freezing meals and ingredients for later)…and I happen to love freezer cooking. Two, it chronicles an epic supermarket trip my boys and I took, and they really made me laugh that day. They were nutso. There’ll be recipes and ideas on the show, but I thought I’d list some of my favorite freezer-friendly recipes for you, as well as give little freezer tips here and there. This is by no means comprehensive…I could go on all day!MY APPROACHFirst, my overall approach to freezer cooking: Generally speaking, I do a mix of one-dish meals—things like casseroles, soups, stews, and chilis—but I also like to prepare ingredients up to a certain stage and freeze them so I can grab them and start cooking some of my favorite meals. One of the things that some folks don’t love about freezer cooking is that there are sooooo many casseroles, which can get to be a little old after awhile…but if I have a bunch of individual ingredients prepped and ready to go, not everything has to wind up being in casserole form. ( I’ll give you some examples in a minute. ) Also note: When you have a freezer full of food, you can then fill your fridge with salad greens, spinach, and other veggies so you can make a big, healthy salad on the side. Perfect!MY CONTAINERSWhen I do freezer cooking, I almost never freeze things in nice baking dishes or Pyrex pans—primarily because I don’t want to tie them up for such a long time."

Photography Credit: Elise Bauer Okay, this is crazy good. Think lasagna, but made with spaghetti noodles instead. Thin spaghetti noodles, actually, or vermicelli. A couple of beaten eggs are tossed in with the cooked noodles (along with grated Parmesan, yum!) and layered just the way you would if you were using lasagna noodles. The egg helps bind the noodles in place so you can easily cut out even rectangles to serve without them falling apart. It’s the perfect thing to serve a hungry teenage boy who is visiting for spring break, who somehow manages to eat his weight every day, who loves to skateboard and can play Minecraft for hours without getting bored.

"text": "Full Service vs. Specialist Ad Agencies: Which is the Right Model?2009 October 6tags: Advertising Agencies, Clayton Christensen, Disruptive Innovationby Greg Satell In the Digital Marketing arena today, clients have two options: small specialist agencies or full service agencies that can provide a holistic, integrated solution. Ironically, after three decades of spinning off specialist divisions it is the big network agencies that now seem to prefer the full service strategy. It is a confusing situation for both clients and agencies alike and the uncertainty creates an environment where incompetents and charlatans thrive. ( I am amazed at all of the “social media experts” who claim to have 10 years of experience in the field). However, by understanding the basic underlying forces at work a lot of the confusion can be cleared up. Integrated vs. Modular Organization The specialist vs. full service dilemma is a classic case of what business theorists call “integrated vs. modular organization.” An integrated organization is similar to a full service agency and almost everything is done in-house. A modular organization structure involves teams of specialists working separately. Management guru Clayton Christensen (see What is Disruptive Innovation?) specifies three conditions that need to be met for a successful modular organization: Specifyability: People need to be able to explain exactly what they need."

"text": "\"\"\"Dietetics\"\" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Dianetics. Dietician Focus Diet, human nutrition Significant diseasesvitamin and mineral deficiency Specialist Registered dietitian (RD)A dietitian (or dietician) [1] is an expert in dietetics; that is, human nutrition and the regulation of diet. A dietitian alters their patient's nutrition based upon their medical condition and individual needs. Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. [ 2]A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) [3] is a dietitian who meets all of a set of special academic and professional requirements, including the completion of a bachelor's degree with an accredited nutrition curriculum, an internship at an approved health-care facility, foodservice organization, or community agency, and satisfactory performance on a registration exam. Roughly half of all RDNs hold graduate degrees [4] and many have certifications in specialized fields such as sports, pediatrics, renal, oncological, food-allergy, or gerontological nutrition. After learning about a patient's health history, favorite foods, eating and exercise habits, the RD helps the person to set goals and to prioritize. Follow-up visits often focus on maintenance and monitoring progress. Most RDs work in the treatment and prevention of disease (administering medical nutrition therapy, as part of medical teams), often in hospitals, health-maintenance organizations, private practices, or other health-care facilities."

"text": "Definition of Pain Medicine The specialty of Pain Medicine, or Algiatry, is a discipline within the field of medicine that is concerned with the prevention of pain, and the evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of persons in pain. Some conditions may have pain and associated symptoms arising from a discrete cause, such as postoperative pain or pain associated with a malignancy, or may be conditions in which pain constitutes the primary problem, such as neuropathic pains or headaches. Pain Medicine Specialists use a broad-based approach to treat all pain disorders, ranging from pain as a symptom of disease to pain as the primary disease. The pain physician serves as a consultant to other physicians but is often the principal treating physician (as distinguished from the primary care physician) and may provide care at various levels, such as treating the patient directly, prescribing medication, prescribing rehabilitative services, performing pain relieving procedures, counseling patients and families, directing a multidisciplinary team, coordinating care with other health care providers and providing consultative services to public and private agencies pursuant to optimal health care delivery to the patient suffering from pain. The objective of the pain physician is to provide quality care to the patient suffering from pain. The pain physician may work in a variety of settings and is competent to treat the entire range of pain encountered in delivery of quality health care. Pain Medicine specialists typically formulate comprehensive treatment plans, which consider the patients' cultural contexts, as well as the special needs of the pediatric and geriatric populations. Evaluation techniques include interpretation of historical data; review of previous laboratory, imaging, and electrodiagnostic studies; assessment of behavioral, social, occupational, and avocational issues; and interview and examination of the patient by the pain specialist."

"text": "\"4.1. The definition of a referral system Women who have experienced GBV have multiple and complex needs. This includes medical care, safe accommodation, psychosocial counselling, police protection and/or legal advice. Therefore, an effective response to GBV requires a comprehensive set of services. Since it is virtually impossible for a single organization to provide all services in the required quality and specialization, a multi-sectoral response that coordinates the services by all relevant service providers helps to ensure the availability of comprehensive support for survivors of GBV. Referrals are an important step in case management as part of multi-sectoral work, besides case review, monitoring and after-case/follow-up support. An important prerequisite for the design and implementation of effective referrals is the existence of an institutionalized referral mechanism. Referrals in general describe the processes of how a woman gets in touch with an individual professional or institution about her case and how professionals and institutions communicate and work together to provide her with comprehensive support. Partners in a referral network usually include different government departments, women’s organizations, community organizations, medical institutions and others. There is also the possibility of self-referral, where a woman approaches an agency herself, which is low in case of restricted mobility."

"text": "Adopting a Baby through Private Domestic Adoption Why Adoptive Families Pursue This Type of Adoption Every year more than 300 families adopt a baby with American Adoptions, a national adoption agency that specializes in private domestic adoption. Why do so many people pursue a private domestic adoption and choose our national adoption agency to adopt a baby? First, let’s look at the definitions: Private Domestic Adoption – The domestic placement of a baby for adoption by their birth parents, who legally consent to the adoption with an adoptive family of their choosing. National Adoption Agency – Locates adoption opportunities between prospective adoptive families and birth parents across the country, provides support and education throughout the adoption process, and legally completes the adoption. The following is a list of the types of people who choose to work with a national agency like American Adoptions to complete their private domestic adoption:1. People who want to adopt a newborn Private domestic adoption is the only type of adoption that promises prospective adoptive couples a newborn baby. On average, American Adoptions completes the adoptions of 300 healthy newborn babies per year. Other types of adoption like foster care and international adoption cannot always promise families a newborn. For example, according to a study by the Children’s Bureau, of the 52,039 foster children who were adopted in 2012, only 1,113 were babies less than 1 year old (2 percent). International adoption faces the same problem."

"title": "http://www.contractorcalculator.co.uk/difference_contract_for_services_of_services_ir35.aspx\nIR35 Explained: âContract of serviceâ and âcontract for servicesâ",
"text": "An understanding of the types of contracts between clients, agencies and contractors and employees is vital for a contractor to be able to determine whether they are working inside or outside of IR35 . However, the debate over contracts of service and contracts for service has a long history in employment law, as has the employment status of agency workers long before the contracting sector took off and IR35 was introduced. This guide will explain the IR35 issues related to these types of contracts and how they affect you the contractor. Please explain the differences between a ‘contract of services’ and a ‘contract for services’ – does it change my IR35 status? An easy way to explain the difference for IR35 purposes is: An employee-employer contract is a contract of service A contractor-client contract is a contract for services In each of these types of contract, both parties have specific rights and responsibilities, which differ according to the type of contract in place. Contractors should be aware of their rights and responsibilities when they have a contract for services between their limited company or contractor umbrella company and their agency or end-user client as it will affect their IR35 status. Employer-employee contract of service Permanent employees have a contract of service with their employer. By definition, if a worker has a contract of service with an organisation, they are an employee for IR35 purposes. The key rights and responsibilities of employee status under a contract of service are: The worker is controlled by their employer – they must perform the tasks they are instructed to by a line manager according to their job description The worker is expected to work at a specific place during specific hours on specific days (even flexi-time has core hours)The worker must present themselves for work and cannot send someone else as a substitute Employees have statutory rights to holiday pay, sick pay, maternity and paternity rights and redundancy payments Employees have statutory rights regarding how they can be asked to leave their employment Employees enjoy a range of additional benefits, which can vary according to the employer, but might include company cars, private health insurance, staff canteens, health clubs and gyms and so on Employees are not personally liable for any errors they make when completing work for their employer, nor are they expected to make good in their own time. There is also a relationship between an employee and employer called ‘ mutuality of obligation ’, often referred to in shorthand as ‘MOO’."

"title": "http://www.contractorcalculator.co.uk/what_is_a_personal_service_company.aspx\nWhat is a âpersonal service companyâ?",
"text": "Many contractors choose to work for clients using their own limited companies, sometimes referred to by the taxman as ‘personal service companies’. They do so for many reasons, often because clients and recruitment agencies won’t hire the self-employed who operate as sole traders, which leaves contractors who are not affected by the IR35 tax legislation with few choices. The term ‘personal service companies’ was devised by HMRC following the introduction of IR35 by the then Chancellor Gordon Brown, who originally proposed the legislation in the March 1999 pre-budget, with IR35 becoming law in April 2000. So just what is a personal service company? This is where things get tricky. Because there is no clear definition in law of what actually constitutes a personal service company, HMRC often use this lack of clarity to their advantage when investigating the tax affairs of contractors. In the contracting sector, the generally accepted definition of a personal service company is a limited company that typically has a sole director, the contractor, who owns most or all of the shares. The contractor’s personal service company generally supplies professional services to end user clients, either directly or via an agency. The professional services, typically IT or engineering, are delivered by the contractor and, just to reinforce the point, they are also the owner and director of the business. Most contractors have no choice but to use a limited company Limited companies can be a tax efficient way for contractors to work, as they tend to split their income between salary and dividends, which means they do not pay, for example, employers or employees Class 1 National Insurance Contributions on a large part of their overall income."

They can work for agencies or employ themselves by building a private roster of job candidates and companies they serve. The employment interviewer collects detailed information from employers and job seekers and works to match qualified candidates with the most appropriate open positions provided to them by the companies that employ their services. When notifying interviewers of new jobs, companies provide a detailed description of job duties, required experience and preferred educational background. Employment interviewers negotiate pay rates and working hours based on an employer's needs. They then seek out proper candidates for the job and interview the best choices on behalf of the company or refer them to that company's human resources department.

"text": "Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgianavigation search Definitionnoun The medical or scientific term for brain freeze Supplement The sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia is a type of headache or neuralgia, which was once believed to be attributed to the irritation of the sphenopalatine ganglion (thus the name). However, there were reports suggesting that the sensory information travels rather along the trigeminal nerve. 1Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia is not considered a disease. This condition is characterized by an acute spasmodic pain of the nose and orbit, which may extend to the rest of face, and then to shoulders and neck. There is no thorough physiologic explanation as to how it occurs but one possible explanation is the temporary alteration of blood flow in the brain resulting in brief headache. The quick consumption of extremely cold food or beverages, such as ice-cream, causes headache. Thus, the condition is also called ice-cream headache or cold-rush. Eating extremely cold food or beverages too fast especially on a warm or hot ambient temperature cools the palate in such a way that the blood vessels, particularly the internal carotid artery and the anterior cerebral artery to constrict and dilate. This then causes the nearby pain receptors to relay impulses along the trigeminal nerve to the brain from where the pain is interpreted as coming from the forehead. According to Dr. Jorge Serrador, a cardiovascular electronics researcher, vasoconstriction, such as that in sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, is probably a defense mechanism to ensure that abrupt changes in temperature in the brain are prevented, and thus kept warm."

A comprehensive knowledge of the extracranial and intracranial anatomy is critical to achieve successful outcomes and decrease complications. Surgeons must familiarize themselves with anatomy of the ethmoid region, lateral nasal wall, sphenoid sinus, cavernous region, sellar/suprasellar region, clivus, and pterygopalatine/infratemporal fossa before embarking on these approaches. Previous article Next article Keywords Endoscopic skull base anatomy Minimally invasive skull base surgery Sellar/suprasellar anatomy Sphenoid sinus Pterygopalatine fossa Infratemporal fossa Vascular sellar anatomy Endoscopic skull base surgery represents a unique collaboration between the otolaryngologist and neurosurgeon. Although multidisciplinary approaches to the skull base have existed for decades, endoscopic surgery demands a far greater collaboration among the surgical team members. Surgeons are required to appreciate complex neurovascular and osseous anatomical relationships from a transnasal perspective as well as understand the nuances of each other’s field. For example, the neurosurgeon must understand the benefits of meticulous mucosal preservation in avoiding sinonasal complications, and the otolaryngologist must appreciate the catastrophic consequences of sacrificing a seemingly minor intracranial vessel. The goal of this work is to familiarize surgeons with the transnasal extracranial and intracranial skull base anatomy. Ethmoid bone/fovea ethmoidalis The medial portion of the ethmoid bone is a cruciate membranous bone composed of the crista galli, cribriform plate, and perpendicular ethmoidal plate. The crista is a thick piece of bone, shaped like a “cock's comb,” that projects intracranially and attaches to the falx cerebri."

"text": "Mystery Solved: The Cause of Iceberger’s Syndrome Posted by Shelley Batts on January 7, 2008 (12) More »True to form, Omni Brain has posted an informative video about the “ice cream headache” also known as “Iceberger’s syndrome.” This is the nominally painful headache one experiences after eating too much of something extremely cold. While no “silent killer,” as the video jokingly claims, “brain freeze” is actually a real thing (sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia) with a perfectly reasonable cause. When you consume something very cold like ice cream or a 40 oz Slushie, it rapidly chills the roof of your mouth (the hard palate). Just above the hard palate is the sphenopalatine nerve which is extremely sensitive to rapid changes in temperature. As the cold food cools the hard palate, it stimulates the sphenopalatine nerve, “tricking” the brain into thinking that you are in an extremely cold environment. And, the body’s reaction to suddenly being in a very cold place is to constrict the blood vessels in the brain, reducing blood flow to the brain. The pain is actually caused by the subsequent influx of warm blood which then forces the vessels open. Since the pain is actually felt in the head, rather than the roof of your mouth, the pain is “referred. ”However, Iceberger’s syndrome has a cure!"

It is bounded posteriorly by two pairs of folds of mucous membrane which cover two important palatal muscles, the palatoglossus and palatopharyngeus (Fig. 1 ). The opening between these pillars is the exit from the oral cavity, the fauces. The nasal cavity opens anteriorly at the nostrils or Hares. It is divided by a septum into left and right halves and these end posteriorly at the choanae. At the base of the pterygomaxillary fissure lies the pterygopalatine fossa."

"text": "I Suffer From Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia Posted on December 4, 2008 | 4 Comments Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia is a condition that billions of people worldwide suffer from. Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, also known as icebergers syndrome, brain freeze or ice-cream headache, is a painful condition. But fear not. It is not fatal and is only temporary. I am sure that you have at some point in your life gotten brain freeze, and I am sure that you already know that it comes from eating or drinking something cold too quickly. But what exactly is taking place when this horrible condition strikes? Well today we clear up that mystery. The pain is caused by the rapid cooling of the roof of the mouth, which is close to the sphenopalatine nerve, a section of an extensive bundle of nerves running from the face up into the brain. When this nerve gets cold, it fires off a danger signal that the entire head is about to become chilled and warns the vascular system to start pumping more blood to the brain to keep it warm. Vessels open up and the sudden in-rush of warm blood causes a painful sensation, which lasts anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes."

"text": "Nasopalatine nerve Dr Yair Glick and Dr Shi Hong Shen et al. The nasopalatine nerve (also known as the long sphenopalatine nerve) is a branch of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve and contributes to the pterygopalatine ganglion. Gross anatomy The nasopalatine nerve divides off the maxillary division just after emerging from the foramen rotundum to enter the pterygopalatine fossa. At the pterygopalatine ganglion receives parasympathetic fibres which supply the nasal and palatine mucosal glands as well as special sensory fibres (taste) for the which arrive at the ganglia via the greater petrosal nerve. It leaves the fossa inferomedially through the sphenopalatine foramen with the posterior superior nasal nerves to enter the nasal cavity just being the superior nasal meatus where it passes along the roof of the nose and into the nasal septum, where it may groove the vomer. Here is supplies the posteroinferior nasal septum. It continues coursing anteroinferiorly in the nasal septum to enter the incisive canal , then passes through the incisive foramen , entering the roof of the mouth. Here it supplies the anterior hard palate and the gingiva behind the two maxillary incisor teeth. Variant anatomy The left nasopalatine nerve can pass through the anterior incisive foramen and the right nasopalatine nerve can pass through the posterior incisive foramen when an anterior and posterior foramen exists for the incisive foramen. The posterior superior nasal nerves may branch of the nasopalatine nerve just before or after it passes through the sphenopalatine foramen."

"text": "\"Dento-osseous Structures, Blood Vessels, and Nerves (Dental Anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion) Part 5Superior Alveolar Arteries The posterior superior alveolar artery branches from the maxillary artery superior to the maxillary tuberosity to enter the alveolar canals along with the posterior superior alveolar nerves and supplies the maxillary teeth, alveolar bone, and membrane of the sinus. A branch of variable size runs forward on the periosteum at the junction of the alveolar process and maxillary body supplying the gingiva, alveolar mucosa, and cheek. When it is large, it may supplant in part the buccal artery. A middle superior alveolar branch is usually given off by the infraorbital continuation of the maxillary artery somewhere along the infraorbital groove or canal. It runs downward between the sinus mucosa and bone or in canals in the bone and joins the posterior and anterior alveolar vessels. Its main distribution is to the maxillary premolar teeth. Anterior superior alveolar branches arise from the infraorbital artery just before this vessel leaves its foramen. They course down the anterior aspect of the maxilla in bony canals to supply the maxillary anterior teeth and their supporting tissues and to join the middle and posterior superior alveolar branches in completing an anastomotic plexus. Branches to the teeth, periodontal ligament, and bone are derived from the superior alveolar artery in the same manner as described for the inferior alveolar artery. DESCENDING PALATINE AND SPHENOPALATINE ARTERIESThe palatal blood supply comes from two sources but chiefly from the descending palatine artery, which descends from its origin from the maxillary through the greater canal."

Its primary function is to serve as the entrance of the alimentary tract and to initiate the digestive process by salivation and propulsion of the alimentary bolus into the pharynx. [ 1, 5] It also serves as a secondary respiratory conduit, a site of sound modification for the production of speech, and a chemosensory organ. [ 5]The mobility of the lips is also critical to speech production, whistling, singing, the playing of wind and brass musical instruments, expectoration, and human behavioral communication (eg, kissing, smiling, pouting, baring of teeth). [ 5] Even minor disruptions in the function of the oral cavity can seriously jeopardize an individual’s quality of life. [ 5]The oral cavity (see the image below) is oval shaped and is separated into the oral vestibule and the oral cavity proper. [ 2] It is bound by the lips anteriorly, the cheeks laterally, the floor of the mouth inferiorly, the oropharynx posteriorly, and the palate superiorly. [ 1] The oropharynx begins superiorly at the junction between the hard palate and the soft palate, and inferiorly behind the circumvallate papillae of the tongue.

Retzius holds a distinguished place among nineteenth-century biologists for his contributions to comparative anatomy, histology, and anthropology, and as a pioneer of these disciplines in Scandinavia. He played a prominent role in the development of biological science there between 1820 and 1860, especially in the establishment of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and was one of those who guided Swedish biology and medicine into scientific channels against the strong influence of the speculative Naturphilosophie prevalent in many of the German universities. Retzius’ father, Anders Jahan Retzius (1742–1821), was professor of natural history at the University of Lund. One of his major accomplishments was to assemble an important collection of minerals and rocks for the university. Reizius was introduced to natural history, especially zoology, by his father; and when he entered the University of Lund, he came under the influence of Arived Henrik Florman, professor of anatomy, who initiated him into the methods of dissection and careful observation. In 1816 he spent a year at Copenhagen with the anatomist Ludwig Levin Jacobson, the physicist Hans Christian Oersted, and zoologist J. H. Reinhard. The latter, a disciple of Cuvier, impressed young Retzius with his scholarly lectures on comparative anatomy, illustrated with his own preparations. After his return Retzius finished his medical studies with a dissertation on the anatomy of cartilaginous fishes, especially the dogfish and the ray, Observationes in anatomiam chondropterygium praecipue squali et rajae generum (lund, 1819). In 1823 Retzius was appointed professor of veterinary science at the Stockholm Veterinary Institution, and in 1824, sponsored by Berzelius, he also became professor of anatomy at the Karolinska Medico-Kirurgiska Institutet."

According to Dr. Joseph Hulihan, a former assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at the Temple University Health Sciences Center, ice cream is a very common cause of head pain, with about one third of a randomly selected population succumbing to ice cream headaches. So what causes that pain? As far back as the late 1960s, researchers pinned the blame on the same vascular mechanisms—rapid constriction and dilation of blood vessels—that were responsible for the aura and pulsatile pain phases of migraine headaches. When something cold like ice cream touches the roof of your mouth, there is a rapid cooling of the blood vessels there, causing them to constrict. When the blood vessels warm up again, they experience rebound dilation. The dilation is sensed by pain receptors and pain signals are sent to the brain via the trigeminal nerve."

They are lined with a pseudostratisfied columnar (respiratory) epithelium which is continuous with the nasal mucosa. The lining provides a mucous secretion which traps bacteria and subsequently extrudes the mucous and bacteria through the sinus ostia to be swallowed or expectorated. Under normal conditions, the sinuses are air filled and communicate directly with the nasal passages through patent ostia."

For me, the temperature (the lower, the better) and the presence of flavor (any flavor, for that matter) make all the difference. A sweetener is nice, but not necessary. I frequently just put a squirt of lemon juice in plain water. Most soft drinks are served cold. Yes, there is a significant contingent of people who enjoy room temp or even warm (ugh) soda, but the majority enjoy it cold. There is some science around the ingesting and sensation associated with cold liquids and how it relates to a person’s core temperature. The science is probably way more complicated that we need for this question, but suffice to say that ingesting cold flavored liquids seem to indicate to a person’s body that you are responding to its signal that you are “hot” or “dehydrated”. Drinking water, and not getting your taste buds involved, likely sends less of a response signal.

"text": "One minute you're enjoying your favorite frozen beverage or ice cream cone, and the next minute you're experiencing an excruciating headache which seems to originate from the middle of your skull. This is the dreaded phenomenon known as brain freeze, or ice cream headache. Some experts suggest that up to 1/3 of the population is susceptible to this condition, especially when eating a frozen treat too quickly on a warm day. The pain is similar to that of a migraine headache, but thankfully most attacks last 30 seconds or less. So what actually causes brain freeze? Researchers suggest it is a combination of your body's overreaction to cold stimuli, freezing of a cluster of nerves above the palate and a sudden influx of warm blood to the brain. Eating all of that ice cream or slushy drink too quickly didn't help matters, either. In fact, it was the initial contact between the cold food and the roof of your mouth which set all of this activity in motion. Ad When you took an extra large bite of ice cream, some of it reached the roof of your mouth, also known as the hard palate. Behind this hard palate lies a cluster of nerves which act as a protective thermostat of sorts for your brain."

Keep in mind that while these shots help some people, not everyone gets the same relief. What They Treat Back injections may help treat two major back pain problems: Inflammation or damage to a nerve, usually in the neck or the low back. Doctors call this “radiculopathy.” The problem originates where the nerveexits the spine. With radiculopathy, sharp pain shoots from the lower back down into one or both legs, or from the neck into the arm. A herniated disk can cause radiculopathy.

Chronic neck pain and cervical radiculitis are the most commonly treated condition with cervical epidural steroid injections. Headaches and cervical spinal stenosis may also benefit from this treatment modality. Cervical radiculitis results from nerve compression in the neck (cervical spine) that causes radiating pain down an arm. The pain originates from cervical spinal nerves becoming irritated as they exit the spinal cord. The symptoms of cervical radiculitis often include numbness and pain. If a person develops weakness in this distribution it is termed radiculopathy. Cervical radiculitis can be caused by bulging cervical discs or cervical spondylysis, which results from arthritis in the facet joints. Both causes can often be effectively treated with cervical epidural steroid injections. Procedure Cervical epidural steroid injections involve injecting a steroid into the epidural space of the cervical spinal canal where irritated nerve roots are located."

"text": "What is Sciatica? Sciatica refers to pain that may be caused by compression and irritation of the sciatic nerve, or of any of the five spinal nerve roots that give rise to each sciatic nerve. There are two sciatic nerves. They travel from the low back through the buttock and down the back of the leg and foot. In addition to pain along the length of the sciatic nerve, other symptoms of sciatica may include numbness, muscle weakness, tingling, and difficulty with movement. Symptoms are usually unilateral, meaning they occur in only one sciatic nerve at a time, although sometimes symptoms are perceived on both sides. The pathophysiology of sciatica is not completely understood, although the current understanding is that mechanical alterations combined with inflammatory changes lead to pain. Compression may alter nerve root conduction and deprive spinal nerve roots of nutrition, mechanical forces may lead to nerve damage and functional changes in nerve roots, and chemical and metabolic effects may create an inflammatory response (Garfin et al, 1995). Varying causes of inflammation coupled with varying degrees of compression can occur anywhere along the cauda equina, or the bundle of nerve roots at the lower end of the spinal column, and contribute to the pain response and neurologic deficits associated with sciatica. It is important to note that sciatica is not a disease, but a term used to describe an array of symptoms including pain."

Epidural Steroid Injection Epidural steroid injections are not usually performed until non-surgical treatments have been given a fair trial (about six weeks) and have not provided adequate relief of radicular pain (pain radiating down an arm or leg). Epidural steroid injections are for temporary relief of pain; they are not a cure. Pain relief often lasts from a couple of weeks to months, although these injections are not always effective.

"text": "Foraminal Stenosis: Types, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment Reviewed By: Pramod Kerkar, MD, FFARCSIIt is narrowing or restriction of openings within the spine called as foramen which allows the nerve roots to pass to and from the spinal cord. Foramen is the cavity through which spinal nerves pass through as they exit the spine. These apertures or openings are prone to narrowing when there is degeneration of spine and it starts to affect vertebrae, intervertebral discs and other tissues comprising the spine. There is a foramen present at each level of the spine with one on each side. Spinal nerve passes through the foramens at each level. As the foramen is a small area, anything encroaching on that area leads to foraminal stenosis and pinches the nerves. Foraminal stenosis is usually a form of degenerative disease of the spine which occurs gradually with normal wear of spinal column. Different conditions like arthritic changes of spine, herniated disc, and bulging disc, swelling of soft tissues, and bony growth encroach on foramen and leads to compression of nerve in it. Nerve root compression causes a variety of symptoms like localized pain, pain that radiates along the length of the compressed nerve, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness in the extremities. Mostly foraminal stenosis occurs along with degenerative disease of the spine, but it can be present as a primary problem in some patients."

"text": "Procedures Performed Facet Joint Injections / Medial Branch Blocks / Radiofrequency Each level of the spine is connected to its neighboring level by a facet joint. Each facet joint is fed by two small branches of the larger spinal nerves. Facet joints can be a significant source of pain in several types of patients, especially those with a history of trauma, degenerative disc disease, or advanced arthritis. When other structures in the spine become weak, the facet joints often become hypertrophic or enlarged. Physical examination and imaging studies can suggest a diagnosis of facet joint pain, but for a more definitive diagnosis and treatment, an injection may be required. Anti-inflammatory steroid and local anesthetic can be injected directly into the facet joints to produce dramatic pain relief. This procedure can be repeated several times a year. If an injection directly into the joint does not provide sustained relief, or your medical history precludes repeated steroid injections, a medial branch block can be performed. A medial branch block is an injection of local anesthetic near the two small nerves that feed a particular facet joint. Typically several levels are injected at once."

Description Sacroiliac joint arthrography using fluoroscopic guidance with injection of an anesthetic has been explored as a diagnostic test for sacroiliac joint pain. Duplication of the patient’s pain pattern with the injection of contrast medium suggests a sacroiliac etiology, as does relief of chronic back pain with injection of local anesthetic. Treatment of sacroiliac joint pain with corticosteroids, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), stabilization, or minimally invasive arthrodesis has also been explored. Background Similar to other structures in the spine, it is assumed that the sacroiliac joint may be a source of low back pain. In fact, before 1928, the sacroiliac joint was thought to be the most common cause of sciatica. In 1928, the role of the intervertebral disc was elucidated, and from that point forward, the sacroiliac joint received less research attention. Research into sacroiliac joint pain has been thwarted by any criterion standard to measure its prevalence and against which various clinical examinations can be validated."

"text": "\"Benefits & Risks of Steroid Injections Print Back pain is the number-one reason people visit their doctors, and epidural steroid injections have been a mainstay of treatment for short-term pain relief for decades. The injections seem to be most effective for people who have \"\"radicular\"\" pain, or pain that radiates from the spine to a leg or an arm, caused by a herniated disk. Even so, relief is often only temporary, and injections should be limited to no more than two or three a year. Experts aren't quite sure how worthwhile the injections are for other conditions since research findings from clinical trials are inconsistent. Because of the small number of high-quality scientific studies on epidural steroid injections, strong recommendations for their use are lacking. The American Academy of Neurology's (AAN’s) guidelines state that \"\"epidural steroid injections play a limited role in providing short-term pain relief for lower back pain that radiates down a leg and do not provide long-term pain relief.\"\" Specifically, they say that the average amount of relief is small and lasts only two to six weeks after injection. And, says the AAN, the injections don't \"\"buy time: to avoid surgery. Similarly, the American Pain Society suggests that epidural steroid injections may be used for radicular pain caused by a herniated lumbar disk, but the group falls short of strongly recommending them. In April 2014, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that the \"\"injection of corticosteroids into the epidural space of the spine may result in rare but serious adverse events, including loss of vision, stroke, paralysis, and death.\"\""

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Clinical Procedures Paraspinal Injections - Facet Joint and Nerve Root Blocks Updated: Oct 21, 2014Author: Andrew L Wagner, MD; Chief Editor: Meda Raghavendra (Raghu), MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Anesthesiologists have performed facet joint and nerve root blocks for more than 50 years. Initially, these blocks involved the use of palpated anatomic landmarks and a large amount of steroids and/or local anesthetics. As techniques have been refined, fluoroscopic and CT guidance have become popular, because this guidance allows more precise needle placement and thereby a smaller amount of injected pharmaceutical and a lower complication rate. While anesthesiologists have continued to perform the procedures, the trend toward radiologic guidance has resulted in a greater number of injections performed by radiologists, particularly neuroradiologists and musculoskeletal radiologists. The value of having radiologists perform the procedures is derived not only from their expertise in image-guided needle placement and radiologic anatomy but also from their more objective point of view. The treating physician is not influenced by the patient's physical findings or medical history, and he or she does not determine if the patient needs repeated injections. Separation of the referring physician and the treating physician eliminates any conscious or subconscious bias and can only benefit the patient. In this article, the indications for facet and nerve root blocks are considered separately, because although the 2 injections are similar in nature and often performed in the same patient during a workup for back pain, they are designed to treat different pathologic processes. A short description of each technique follows, as well as a description of injection-related complications and coding issues. Efficacy Steroids are widely used in nerve root blocks, epidural injections, and facet joint injections in an attempt to provide temporary relief from pain."

A facet joint is like many other joints in the body — it has a cartilage lining that allows the bones to glide smoothly over each other and is surrounded by a protective capsule. The function of a facet joint is to provide stability, mobility and support to the spine. Each vertebra has two facet joints, one on each side. Diagnosing facet disease Some of the terms commonly used in the diagnosis of facet problems include: Facet arthritis Facet joint syndrome Facet disease Facet hypertrophy Degenerative facet joints These terms all refer to essentially the same thing — osteoarthritis or degeneration of a facet joint. Causes of facet disease Facet disease is caused by the cartilage in the joints being worn down as a result of wear, aging, injury or misuse. This type of injury to the spine can be attributed to arthritis of the spine, work, over-use or an accident. Facet disease occurs when a facet joint degenerates."

"text": "\"Back Pain In-Depth Report Symptoms and Causes The origin of the pain is often unknown, and imaging studies may fail to determine its cause. Disk disease, spinal arthritis, and muscle spasms are the most common diagnoses. Other problems can also cause back pain, however. Muscle and Ligament Injuries/Lumbar Strain Strain and injury to the muscles and ligaments supporting the back are the major causes of low back pain. The pain is typically more spread out in the muscles next to the spine, and may be associated with spasms in those muscles. The pain may move to the buttocks but rarely any farther down the leg. Sciatica The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that starts in the lower back. It forms near the spine and is made up from branches of the roots of the lumbar spinal nerves. It travels through the pelvis and then deep into each buttock. It then travels down each leg."

"text": "Radiofrequency Ablation Chronic pain can result from arthritis in the small joints of the spine called facet joints. Although there is no cure for arthritis, it is useful to help patients temporarily relieve their pain in order to promote employment, exercise and social activities (improved function). Relief of pain through interventional techniques can often reduce the need for habit forming narcotic pain medications. Facet joint pain can be relieved for 6-12 months at a time with the use of radiofrequency ablation. Over 40% of patients presenting to pain clinics with back pain have back pain due facet joint arthritis. Facet joint arthritis can co-exist with other causes of back pain such as sacroiliac joint pain, disc degeneration or herniated disc. The facet joints are near the back of the individual bones of the spine called vertebra. The front of the vertebra are attached to the discs, which act as spacers and shock absorbers. In between, on both sides of the vertebra are openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal canal. The facet joint is a true articulation where movement of adjacent vertebra occurs at the cartilage surface associated with joint fluid and a joint capsule."

"text": "\"Facet Rhizotomy Written by Steven Richeimer, MDEmail Print The facet joints are often the primary source of pain for many back pain sufferers. Facet joints are small joints located in pairs on the back of the spine that provide stability to the spine and allow the spine to move and be flexible. Depending on where the problematic facet joints are located, they can cause pain in the mid-back, ribs, chest (thoracic facet joints), lower back, abdomen, buttocks, groin, or legs (lumbar facet joints), neck, shoulders, and even headaches (cervical facet joints). Facet joint injections of steroid medications are often given to patients with this type of pain. The injections not only provide pain relief, but they can also help the physician pinpoint exactly where the pain originates and can confirm or reject the facet joints as the source of the pain. For many patients, facet joint injections provide adequate relief. For others, however, the pain relief is too short-lived. For these patients, facet rhizotomy (also called radiofrequency rhizotomy) may be the answer. What Is Facet Rhizotomy? The goal of a facet rhizotomy, either a cervical facet rhizotomy or lumbar facet rhizotomy, is to provide pain relief by \"\"shutting off\"\" the pain signals that the joints send to the brain."

Share 46 Tweet +1 2 Pin 6 Share Stumble54preparing cortisone shot If you’ve read any of our work and subscribe to our point of view, you already know the answer to that question. For those of you who are just joining us, allow me to share my opinion of cortisone injections as a treatment for back pain and sciatica. First, let’s go over some of the terminology to make sure we’re all on the same page. Cortisone injection, epidural, steroid injection, and epidural steroid injection are all essentially the same thing. The goal is to inject a chemical into the inflamed area and try to control the inflammation, delivering relief in the short term. When I say “short term,” I’m saying that some people feel better by the time they get home, or perhaps the next morning. How is it that professional athletes can play hurt or beat themselves up on game day, and a week later they can do it again – and continue to do this week after week, year after year? The answer is simple: Science has learned how to trick the body into feeling better and working harder. Sure, steroid injections can reduce localized inflammation, and that can help you feel better."

"text": "\"Epidural steroid injection (ESI)Overview An epidural steroid injection (ESI) is a minimally invasive procedure that can help relieve neck, arm, back, and leg pain caused by inflamed spinal nerves. ESI may be performed to relieve pain caused by spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, or disc herniation. Medicines are delivered to the spinal nerve through the epidural space, the area between the protective covering of the spinal nerves and bony vertebrae. Pain relief may last for several days or even years. The goal is to reduce pain so that you may resume normal activities and a physical therapy program. What is an epidural steroid injection (ESI)? A steroid injection includes both a corticosteroid (e.g., triamcinolone, methyl-prednisolone, dexamethasone) and an anesthetic numbing agent (e.g., lidocaine or bupivacaine). The drugs are delivered into the epidural space of the spine, which is the area between the protective covering (dura) of the spinal cord and nerves and the bony vertebrae (Fig. 1). Figure 1."

"text": "\"Herniated cervical disc Overview A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of a spinal disc ruptures through a weak area in the tough outer wall, similar to the filling being squeezed out of a jelly doughnut. Neck or arm pain, numbness or tingling may result when the disc material touches or compresses a spinal nerve. Treatment with rest, pain medication, spinal injections, and physical therapy is the first step to recovery. Most people improve in 6 weeks and return to normal activity. If symptoms continue, surgery may be recommended. Anatomy of the discs To understand a herniated disc, it is helpful to understand how your spine works. Your spine is made of 24 moveable bones called vertebrae. The cervical (neck) section of the spine supports the weight of your head (approximately 10 pounds) and allows you to bend your head forward and backward, from side to side, and rotate 180 degrees. There are 7 cervical vertebrae numbered C1 to C7. The vertebrae are separated by discs, which act as shock absorbers preventing the vertebrae from rubbing together."

"text": "\"An interview with Dr. Cunningham Matthew E. Cunningham, MD, Ph D Assistant Attending Orthopaedic Surgeon, Hospital for Special Surgery Assistant Professor in Orthopaedic Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College Introduction Degenerative changes of the vertebrae and disks that make up the spine are common in the aging population and may be associated with either osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. However, when these changes result in an asymmetry, a sideways curve of the spine measuring 10 degrees or greater, the condition is described as degenerative scoliosis. The cause of spinal osteoarthritis and degenerative scoliosis is not known, but clearly the condition is accentuated by daily \"\"wear and tear\"\" or micro-trauma, and activities that jar the spine repeatedly - for example, as in a person who operates a jackhammer. Less frequently, a fall or other traumatic accident can ultimately lead to a diagnosis of degenerative scoliosis. To understand how this process occurs, it is helpful to think of the spine as a series of bony blocks, the vertebrae, which are connected by facet joints that permit movement in the spine. Disks sit between the vertebrae and provide cushioning and protection. The spinal cord runs through the spinal canal, a passage created by the vertebrae. Degenerative changes can occur in the discs or the facets. When arthritis develops in the facet joints, it is very similar to the process that occurs in the other joints of the body, with thinning of the joint cartilage and rubbing together of the bone ends. Disc degeneration includes the inner part of the disk: a jelly-like substance called the nucleus pulposis that begins to dry out as it ages, or the outer part of the disk: the thickly ligamentous annulus fibrosis, which develops rips and cracks as it wears."

"text": "How much does it cost to remove popcorn ceiling 1 texture? Popcorn ceiling 1 is a cottage cheese-like texture applied to ceilings that was popular from the 1950s to the 1980s. The texture is fairly easy to apply and has natural acoustic properties and it easily to covers imperfections in the ceiling. However, it has been linked to asbestos 2 and is generally not a technique used in modern construction or remodels. Popcorn ceiling 1 removal can be a DIY project, but hiring a professional is always recommended. For this discussion, we will consider the costs of removing popcorn ceiling 1 in a 10'x10' room with minor issues, which averages between $700 and $1500. Simply patching or repairing popcorn ceiling 1 can be difficult and expensive, so it is usually worth simply removing it instead of repairing it. Another reason to remove popcorn ceiling 1 is that it is commonly viewed as an outdated design practice that can date a home. Removing popcorn ceiling 1 is typically done in five steps: The walls and floor of the room are covered with plastic sheets, removing popcorn ceiling 1 is a fairly messy process. If the popcorn ceiling 1 was installed before 1977, a small section of the popcorn ceiling 1 is tested for asbestos 2 (for an average cost of $50-$100 )."

Although buying a better microphone can often make a dramatic improvement to the recorded voice tone, there is no point in buying an expensive microphone without looking at the space you record in as well. A recording studio spends a great deal more time, effort and money on the recording space than it does on microphones. But you don't have to spend a lot: a Librivox reader can often make dramatic improvements to the quality of the recording space for less than the cost of a new microphone. In fact many Librivox readers have told me that the little money they spent on acoustic foam made more difference to their sound quality than anything else, including new microphones costing five times as much. This article gathers together ideas from several Librivox readers who have experimented with cheap ways to improve speech recording at home. The article describes a low cost enclosure that limits reflected sound from entering the microphone. It is worth starting by pointing out that the special walls, ceiling, floor and doors in a recording studio do two entirely separate things: Sound Isolation and Sound Treatment. Sound Isolation stops outside noises (such as traffic, children, animals etc.) from getting through to the microphone and being recorded along with your voice."

"text": "By Gene and Katie Hamilton A ceiling grid with tiles is popular in basements for concealing pipes and wires, but over time the metal grid can become pitted and rusted. Sure, you can prime and paint the grid after removing all the tiles, but an easier solution is to use grid covers, made of high grade PVC plastic that's easy to cut and install. The pre-notched covers provide a seamless transition at the cross-tees where they intersect and where the grid meets the wall. Grid MAX covers are designed for either 2-foot-by-2-foot or 2-foot-by-4-foot grid systems; they're sold at home centers and may require special ordering. A handyman will charge $264 to install the grid covers on 300 square feet of ceiling, which includes labor and material; but you can do the job for $185 and save 30 percent. It's a quick fix project that you can do in a few hours and get almost instant results. If the tiles are discolored, give them a facelift with paint. Remove the tiles from the ceiling grid, lay them on a flat surface and use a primer like Kilz, followed by a flat latex paint applied with a roller. For more product information go to Grid MAX. The average price to install grid covers noted above is cost data to compare a contractor’s estimate with doing it yourself."

Although the most important thing is that the ceiling helps keep you warm and dry, its design can completely alter the look and feel of a room. In addition, whether adding custom ceilings as a remodel project or including different options in a new home build, paying attention to how different types of ceilings physically impact each space is important. From cost-effective, classic choices that go largely unnoticed to special designs that are great at hiding wires, maximizing acoustics, and adding artistic flair, the effects that a room's ceiling has are far greater than just protecting your head. However, this job only seems complicated and expensive. In fact, hanging a ceiling is just a bit more difficult than hanging drywall. On average, homeowners pay $1,562 for ceiling installation.

"text": "\"Do-It-Yourself: $300-$400 Room: $600-$1,200 Basement: $2,400-$6,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (4)Also called suspended, drop down or dropped ceilings, drop ceilings are installed just below a primary ceiling to hide wiring, pipes, ductwork, cracks, water damage or other unsightly problems. Made up of panels resting in a grid system suspended from the ceiling joists, a drop ceiling can also cut the amount of noise coming from or going to adjoining rooms. Typical costs: A do-it-yourself drop ceiling in an average room requires about $300-$400 in materials (depending on the ceiling tiles chosen) and around two days of work, according to Als Net Biz.com [ 1] . This is considered a relatively simple project, and the only special tools needed are aviation snips ($8-$50, averages $10-$20) and a standard carpenter's water-bubble level ($10-$70, averages $15-$25 ). Having a drop ceiling installed runs about $2-$5 a square foot depending on the type and size of the panels, the height of the ceiling (including if a rolling scaffold is needed), whether the ceiling covers one large open space or several smaller rooms (which requires more labor), and the type and amount of additional lighting or other extras. It could run around $600-$1,200 for a 15x15-foot room or $2,400-$6,000 or more for a 1,200-square-foot basement. Related articles: Basement Remodeling, Roof Repair, New Roof What should be included: Most often drop ceilings are installed during a basement remodel, to give the room a finished look while still providing relatively easy access to ductwork, pipes or wiring under the tiles. If there's a problem, you can pop out a tile or two, deal with the situation, and then replace the tiles. And if the original ceiling is not level, the drop ceiling can disguise that as well. Ask The Decorator.com discusses when a drop ceiling can be an attractive option [ 2] ."

"text": "< Back to Blog Open Structure Ceilings and Associated Costs Dean Petersen | February 20, 2013 | Project & Construction Management I get asked the question at least five times a year when helping clients with the design of their space – “I really like the tech look and want to do an exposed structure ceiling, that will save us some money, right?” Unfortunately, the answer is no. I wish it wasn’t, because I’m never too popular when I have to deliver that news. Depending on fixture selections and overall level of finish desired, an open structure ceiling is going to add $3.50-6.00 per square foot to your tenant improvement costs over typical acoustical ceiling grid and tile with 2 x 4 fluorescent lighting. Let me explain what it is about this popular look that adds dollars to your build out. While it is true you will be saving the cost of the acoustical ceiling installation, which can be $2.25–$3.00 per square foot, the cost of everything else that is typically hidden above the ceiling goes up dramatically. One 2 x 4 fluorescent light will cover approximately 100 sf of space adequately. Without ceiling grid to lay that fixture in, your lighting options are limited to pendant or linear pendant fixtures (suspended from the structure by cables or rigid stems). Not only can the cost of the lighting itself be two to five times more, the installation is more labor intensive and can add another $75–$100 per fixture. The net result is that your lighting costs can double – or add $2.50-$4.50 per square foot to your total project costs."

Its damaging trek began on August 23, 2005 when it originated as Tropical Depression Twelve near the Bahamas. The next day, the tropical depression strengthened to a tropical storm, and was named Katrina; it proceeded to make landfall on the southern tip of the U. S. state of Florida as a minimal hurricane. In passing across Florida, Katrina did not attain any more strength but did manage to maintain hurricane status. After passing over Florida, the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico allowed it to rapidly intensify to the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history. Afterward, Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, and once more near the Mississippi / Louisiana border. Katrina progressed northward through the central United States and finally dissipated near the Great Lakes on August 31, when it was absorbed by a cold front.

While the normal standards for numbering tropical depressions in the Atlantic indicate that the old name/number is retained when a depression dissipates and regenerates, satellite data indicated that a second tropical wave combined with Tropical Depression Ten north of Puerto Rico to form a new, much more advanced system, which was then designated as Tropical Depression Twelve.

The winds in winter are north-east to south-west, and the reverse, south-west to north-east, in summer. The causes of the reversal of the wind system, and of the pulsating character of the monsoons, are varied and complex. The summer monsoon brings maritime influences and rain, but there are annual fluctuations or pulsations in the strength of the monsoon current. Cyclones in the monsoons cause rainfall, but their frequency is variable. Similarly, the paths of the cyclones vary with the position and strength of the Inter-tropical Front, and this again results in variable rainfall. The climate of Pakistan is more ‘continental’ than that of other parts of the sub-continent, which come under a more typical monsoon regime. The rainfall in most parts of Pakistan is insufficient and its usefulness for agriculture is further reduced by its variable nature. Moreover, the efficiency of the rainfall is reduced because it takes place in the late summer months when, because of the high temperatures, much of it is evaporated. The Seasons Pakistan has the same four seasons found in the rest of the sub-continent, but their duration is somewhat different."

While the number of casualties from these storms have gone down over the years, the cost from the damage caused by these storms have risen tremendously. That has resulted from more building along the coastline, and more expensive homes and businesses. Hurricane of July, 1502 --Was a storm that the great explorer and discoverer of American, Christopher Columbus, predicted would strike the island of Hispanola. He used his prediction to warn the Governor of Hispanola, Nicholas de Ovando, who had 30 ships in his fleet set sail back to Spain. However, the governor ignored him, and refused Columbus' request to stay in port at Santo Domingo. Within two days the storm struck in the Mona Passage between Hispanola and Puerto Rico, and sank 21 of the 30 ships, and killed approximately 500 sailors. Tempest of 1609 --At the time that the first ever colony in the United States was being developed, a strong hurricane menaced the Western Atlantic in the weeks following the departure of a fleet with 500 colonists left Great Britain for the New World.

In reading a barometer, however, the trend in readings is more important than the reading itself. If barometer readings are consistently falling that may mean a storm is coming. Sunny conditions may be indicated by barometer readings that are steadily rising."

Answer by Eric Barnes Confidence votes 150KThe boiling point of water is 100 degrees C, but only at sea level, or in other words, at an atmospheric pressure of 1013.2 millibars. As the altitude increases (or the pressure decreases, same thing), the boiling point goes down. This happens at the rate of about 1 degree C for every thousand feet of altitude gained or for every 35 millibars of pressure lost. The boiling point of pure water is 100 0C at 760 mm col. Hg.

"text": "Bering Sea Superstorm Among the Strongest Extratropical Cyclones on Record By Nick Wiltgen and Jonathan Erdman Nov 9 2014 12:00 AM EST weather.com The Bering Sea Superstorm has developed and is now weakening, but not after becoming one of the strongest extratropical cyclones on record in the North Pacific. Partially derived from former Super Typhoon Nuri, the typhoon's remnantsjoined up with the polar jet stream and a very strong disturbance in the mid-latitude belt of westerly winds, leading to explosive development of low pressure. As a result, the Bering Sea storm whipped up hurricane-force winds in parts of Alaska's Aleutian Islands as well as giant waves in the Bering Sea over the weekend. On Saturday morning, U. S. time, the low was analyzed by NOAA to have a pressure of 924 millibars. The National Weather Service in Anchorage said the storm may be one of the five deepest extratropical (non-tropical) low pressure systems on record in the North Pacific, as determined by minimum pressure. However, the 924-millibar analysis is an estimate. The lowest pressure directly measured in this storm was 929.8 millibars at a buoy northwest of Attu in the far western Aleutians. This is not as low as the pressures measured in a similar storm on October 25, 1977, when a record-setting 925-millibar pressure reading was recorded on a ship docked at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Two other storms have produced directly-measured pressures lower than 929.8 millibars over the extratropical North Pacific. The buoy measurement this past weekend was not right in the center of the storm, based on wind speeds and directions measured at the buoy."

Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect places of equal air pressure. A mercury barometer measures air pressure using a column of mercury in a glass tube that is sealed at one end and inverted in a dish of mercury. As air pressure increases, the mercury in the tube rises; conversely, when air pressure decreases, so does the height of the column of mercury. A mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure in inches of mercury, the height of the column of mercury in the barometer. Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level equals 29.92 inches of mercury."

To be classified as a weather bomb, the central pressure of a low pressure system must drop at least 24 millibars within 24 hours. Bombogenesis is an ominous sounding term frequently used in the winter to describe powerful low pressure systems that intensify rapidly. The process of bombogenesis begins as cyclogenesis, meaning the development or strengthening of an area of low pressure or trough. ( MORE: Late-Week Bombogenesis May Bring Heavy Snow, Wind to Parts of New England )To be classified as a weather bomb, or having undergone bombogenesis or \"\"bombing-out\"\", the central pressure of a low pressure system must drop at least 24 millibars within 24 hours. What Is Bombogenesis? Bombogenesis results when there is a large temperature gradient, usually between a cold continental air mass and warm sea-surface temperatures. However, it can also be the product of a cold polar air mass and much warmer air from the south, say, over the Plains states."

Antibiotics alone can be inadequate in treating abscesses. The primary treatments for boils include hot packs and draining (\"\"lancing\"\") the abscess but only when it is soft and ready to drain. Most of these skin conditions resolve on their own or with home remedies. If the individual has a fever or chronic disease, such as cancer or diabetes, or is taking medications that suppress the immune system, he or she should contact a health care professional if a boil (abscess) or other skin infection develops. There are a number of ways to reduce the likelihood of developing some forms of boils, but boils are not completely preventable even with proper hygiene and skin care regimens. The bacteria that cause boils are contagious, and skin infections can be spread from contact with the fluid from a boil. Picture: What does a boil look like?

Before Learning About Staph Infections, Learn About Staph Bacteria First Staphylococcus is a type of bacteria that has 30 different species. When people use the term “ staph infection ,” they’re usually referring to the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) subtype, which is the species responsible for most staph infections. Around 15 to 40 percent of healthy people carry the S. aureus strain without developing diseases at all. The bacteria are typically found in your skin, nostrils or your flexures, which are the skin folds like your elbows, the back of your knees or underarms. 1Out in the open, staph bacteria can be anywhere, even in your food. This occurs when food isn’t properly handled, or when your kitchen or a restaurant has unsanitary conditions, allowing staph bacteria to grow on the food."

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. That, of course, means that anyone who has a staph infection should take precautions to ensure that they adequately protect others from contact with the bacteria that causes the infection. It also means that every person should take the necessary steps to ensure that they observe proper hygienic habits so as to avoid contracting the infection in the first place. How contagious is it? If you’re wondering how contagious a staph infection is the answer is simple: it depends. In general, the early stages of the infection are the most contagious – especially when the wound in which staph often stakes hold is not properly dressed. The contagiousness of any staph infection tends to diminish with the application of antibiotics, however, as is true with most ailments that require such treatment. As the antibiotics battle the bacteria within the body, they also tend to shield it from leaving the body and being passed on to other people. Preventing contagion Many people often wonder what they can do to diminish the contagiousness of the staph bacteria, to prevent themselves from contracting a staph infection in the first place."

Were you looking for information on Is MRSA Contagious? \"\" Is Mercer contagious\"\" is a common misspelling of \"\"is MRSA contagious. \"\" While not as highly contagious as other diseases, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can certainly be spread from person to person. Transmission is more likely to occur with direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with shared items or surfaces that have come into contact with someone else's infection, such as towels or used bandages. When the infection first started appearing, it was more common in people who had already weakened immune systems, such as those in hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis centers. During the mid- to late 1990s, however, MRSA was appearing in otherwise healthy people who had not been hospitalized or had a medical procedure. Since MRSA is contagious, it is important to be aware of the factors that make it easier for the infection to be spread. These include: Crowding Frequent skin-to-skin contact Compromised skin (for example, cuts or abrasions)Contaminated items and surfaces Lack of cleanliness. ("

While the two may start out similarly — as a raised, reddish spot on your skin — a boil continues to grow larger and becomes more painful. A boil is like a pimple on steroids. In fact, boils can grow to be larger than a golf ball in size. ( 1) No one wants that, which is why it’s important to know how to get rid of a boil. What is a boil? Medically speaking, a boil or furuncle is an infection of the skin typically caused by bacteria. Are you wondering, what does a boil look like? It pretty much looks like a really outrageous version of a pimple. At its worst, it can be quite red, swollen and painful to the slightest touch."

Though there are many types of bacterial staph infection including food poisoning, blood poisoning, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, joint infection, and skin infection, all of which have different symptoms, the most common bacterial staph infection is skin infection with symptoms such as pimples or boils. Symptoms include redness, swelling, with the bacterial infection occasionally leading to pus formation and extensive pain. Among the more than 30 types of staph bacteria, the most dangerous symptoms of a staph infection are caused by MRSA or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The bacterial infections caused by MRSA are not treated easily as they are resistant to many antibiotics. Let us discuss some major symptoms and causes of the staph infection. What is MRSA Bacterial Infection? MRSA or methillin-resistance Staphyloccocus aureus is a dangerous form of staph bacteria causing staph infection with symptoms that are difficult to treat. MRSA bacterial infection is caused by the MRSA bacteria, which is resistant to methicillin and some other known antibiotics."

Living organisms use carbohydrates as accessible energy to fuel cellular reactions and for structural support inside cell walls. Cells attach carbohydrate molecules to proteins and lipids, modifying structures to enhance functionality. For example, small carbohydrate molecules bonded to lipids in cell membranes improve cell identification, cell signaling, and complex immune system responses. The carbohydrate monomers deoxyribose and ribose are integral parts of DNA and RNA molecules. To recognize how carbohydrates function in living cells, we must understand their chemical structure. The structure of carbohydrates determines how energy is stored in carbohydrate bonds during photosynthesis and how breaking these bonds releases energy during cellular respiration. Biomolecules meet specific structural criteria to be classified as carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are modifications of short hydrocarbon chains. Several hydroxyls and one carbonyl functional group modify these hydrocarbon chains to create a monosaccharide, the base unit of all carbohydrates."

They may be classified according to their degree of polymerization and may be divided initially into three principal groups, namely sugars, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides (see Figure 1). Figure 1The major dietary carbohdrates Class (DP*)Sub-Group Components Sugars (1-2)Monosaccharides Glucose, galactose, fructose Disaccharides Sucrose, lactose, trehalose Polyols Sorbitol, mannitol Oligosaccharides (3-9)Malto-oligosaccharides Maltodextrins Other oligosaccharides Raffinose, stachyose, fructo-oligosaccharides Polisaccharides (>9)Starch Amylose, amylopectin, modified starches Non-starch polisaccharides Cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, hydrocolloids DP * = Degree of polymerization Each of these three groups may be subdivided on the basis of the monosaccharide composition of the individual carbohydrates. Sugars comprise monosaccharides, disaccharides and polyols (sugar alcohols); oligosaccharides include malto-oligosaccharides, principally those occurring from the hydrolysis of starch, and other oligosaccharides, e.g. a -galactosides (raffinose, stachyose etc.) and fructo-oligosaccharides; the final group are the polysaccharides which may be divided into starch ( a -glucans) and non-starch polysaccharides of which the major components are the polysaccharides of the plant cell wall such as cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin (2,3,4). Total carbohydrate Although the individual components of dietary carbohydrate are readily identifiable, there is some confusion as to what comprises total carbohydrate as reported in food tables. Two principal measures of total carbohydrate are used, firstly, that derived by \"\"difference\"\" and secondly the direct measurement of the individual components which are then combined to give a total. Calculating carbohydrates by \"\"difference\"\" has been used since the turn of the century. The protein, fat, ash and moisture content of a food are determined, subtracted from the total weight of the food and the remainder, or \"\"difference\"\", is considered to be carbohydrate. There are, however, a number of problems with this approach to total carbohydrate analysis in that the \"\"by difference\"\" figure includes a number of non-carbohydrate components such as lignin, organic acids, tannins, waxes, and some Maillard products."

When ten or higher number of monosaccharides is joined by glycosidic bonds, they are known as polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are polymers and, therefore, have a larger molecular weight, typically more than 10000. Monosaccharide is the monomer of this polymer. There can be polysaccharides made out of a single monosaccharide and these are known as homopolysaccharides. These can be also classified based on the type of monosaccharide. For example, if the monosaccharide is glucose, then the monomeric unit is called a glucan. Starch and cellulose are glucans like that. Amylose This is a part of starch, and it is a polysaccharide. D-glucose molecules are linked to each other in order to form a linear structure called amylose."

Introduction Describe the molecular structure of starch (amylase), glycogen and cellulose, and relate these structures to their functions in living organisms. Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the human body. Chemically, carbohydrates are organic molecules in which carbon, hydrogen and oxygen bond together in the ratio: Cx (H2O)y where x and y are whole numbers that differ depending on the specific carbohydrate to which we are referring. Animals (including humans) break down carbohydrates during the process of metabolism to release energy. For example, the chemical metabolism of the sugar glucose is shown below: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy Animals obtain carbohydrates by eating foods that contain them, for example potatoes, rice, breads, etc. These carbohydrates are manufactured by plants during the process of photosynthesis. Plants harvest energy from sunlight to run the reaction described above in reverse: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (from sunlight) C6H12O6 + 6 O2 A potato, for example, is primarily a chemical storage system containing glucose molecules manufactured during photosynthesis. In a potato, however, those glucose molecules are bound together in a long chain. As it turns out, there are two types of carbohydrates, the simple sugars and those carbohydrates that are made of long chains of sugars - the complex carbohydrates."

Carbohydrates consist of three elements: oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. They are molecular compounds that not only deliver the body with energy, but also act as components in other molecular structures, such as DNA. Carbohydrates can be consumed in various varieties and the numerous building blocks of carbohydrates are discussed in this article. Sugars There are 2 types of sugars that help in building carbohydrates, which are classified as monosaccharides and disaccharides.1. Monosaccharides Glucose Glucose is a metabolized sugar within the body and it's the primary sugar used by tissues and cells to get energy. Glucose is transported within the body via blood, and you can test the levels of glucose within your body by testing your blood sugar levels. It presents in certain fruits (grapes, for example), and can be hydrolyzed from numerous substances, such as cane sugar (sucrose), mal syrup (maltose), milk sugar (lactose) and starch. A high glucose level may indicate diabetics, while a low glucose level means you may have hypoglycemia."

"text": "7 Common Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms (And How To Treat Them! ) Adrenal Fatigue is a stress-related condition that results in symptoms like exhaustion, weakened immunity, sleep disturbances, and food cravings. The adrenal glands and HPA axis become depleted and dysregulated after a long period of emotional stress or chronic illness. As you might expect, tiredness and exhaustion are some of the most common Adrenal Fatigue symptoms. However, these are far from the only ones that you might experience. What is Adrenal Fatigue and how can you recognize it? Adrenal Fatigue leads to lower levels of a number of hormones and neurotransmitters, changes that can affect every single part of your body. Every individual with Adrenal Fatigue tends to have a slightly different set of symptoms, although there are always common complaints. The most common signs of Adrenal Fatigue, which are experienced by most (if not all) sufferers, include symptoms like fatigue and food cravings. Then there are the less common symptoms, which are only experienced by a smaller set of patients."

"text": "The Importance of HCL (Stomach Acid)Having enough HCL (hydrochloric acid or stomach acid) is critical for good digestion and immune health. Without adequate HCL food is incompletely digested and failure of assimilation occurs. If this happens, we become vitamin and mineral deficient. When a person starts to eat, the stomach is stimulated to start producing HCL. The HCL activates the chief cells in the middle portion of the stomach to start secreting a protein-digesting enzyme known as pepsinogen. Pepsinogen requires the presence of hydrochloric acid in order to begin digesting protein. The major role of HCL is to activate pepsinogen (not digest food), which now becomes known as pepsin. Stomach acid gradually increases during a meal. When the stomach acid amount is elevated, which normally takes about 20-30 minutes after eating, it neutralizes enzymes from the mouth, helps to kill bacteria, parasites, viruses that enter with the food, carbohydrate digestion is reduced, and protein digestion starts. There are many consequences when HCL production is not adequate."

Gelatin Gelatin is a unique element in many people’s daily diets. It is made [ 1] of collagen that is acquired from various animal by-products. It is a brittle, colorless, translucent, and flavorless substance. That doesn’t sound particularly interesting, but it is an essential part of many gel-like substances, including jellies, ice creams, yogurts, gummy candies, marshmallows, certain gelatin desserts, and various dips. In non- food applications, it is even used in photography, pharmaceuticals, and various cosmetic products. You can get gelatin in sheets, granules, or powdered form for home use. You can also take gelatin supplements to get all of the health benefits in a concentrated form. Basically, gelatin is a combination of proteins and peptides, making it a wonderful source of amino acids that are essential for a variety of body processes. Furthermore, since they are proteins derived from animal products, our body has to do less work to break them down than is required for plant proteins before changing them into usable forms for humans."

[ 1] It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging from watt (joule/second) to ml O 2 /min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/ (h·kg). Proper measurement requires a strict set of criteria be met. These criteria include being in a physically and psychologically undisturbed state, in a thermally neutral environment, while in the post- absorptive state (i.e., not actively digesting food). [ 1] In bradymetabolic animals, such as fish and reptiles, the equivalent term standard metabolic rate ( SMR) is used. It follows the same criteria as BMR, but requires the documentation of the temperature at which the metabolic rate was measured. This makes BMR a variant of standard metabolic rate measurement that excludes the temperature data, a practice that has led to problems in defining \"\"standard\"\" rates of metabolism for many mammals. [ 1]Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function [2]. Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Some of those processes are breathing, blood circulation, controlling body temperature, cell growth, brain and nerve function, and contraction of muscles. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) affects the rate that a person burns calories and ultimately whether that individual maintains, gains, or loses weight."

"text": "30 Ways To Reduce Inflammation Fast By Ali Washington Inflammation can be caused many different factors. Scientifically speaking inflammation is a cascade of chemical reactions that happen within the body when there is damage done to cells, when there is an irritant present or when the body senses a foreign invader. What Are The Symptoms Of Acute Inflammation? The inflammation reaction is necessary and protective for the body in the short-term. Acute inflammation can leave you with the following cluster of symptoms: pain, redness, immobility, swelling and heat. This is due to the fact that large amounts of both red and white blood cells, lipoproteins, fluid and other body tissues are rushing to the site of injury in an attempt to repair damage and clear away foreign particles. So What Is The Problem With Inflammation? The problem with inflammation comes when it is prolonged or becomes chronic. It is meant to be a “first response” reaction that dies down allowing other healing processes to take over. When inflammation lasts longer than the initial healing phase, we start to see issues like lowered immunity, degenerative diseases and possibly even diseases like cancer."

Does The Phrase “Fight or Flight” Sound Familiar? What do you think of when you hear the phrase “fight or flight”? Saber toothed tigers? Flashing lights in the rear view mirror? It is the alarm state that our bodies go into whenever a threat is perceived. And it is regulated by a part of our nervous system that is outside our conscious control, the sympathetic nervous system. In other words, it’s an automatic response that works faster than the thinking part of the brain and makes the body ready for action. The fight or flight rush sensation is a sign that the sympathetic nervous system has kicked in producing stress hormones."

Have you ever wondered why your heart suddenly beats rapidly and you break out into a sweat when you encounter some form of danger? It's almost an automatic response that occurs whenever you sense a threat, whether it is just a potential embarrassing situation or a really scary situation such as an attack by a stranger. This fight-or-flight response is brought about by your sympathetic nervous system, which usually helps you deal with stress. What Is the Sympathetic Nervous System? While your brain, which is a vital part of the central nervous system, has the capability to control your conscious actions like walking, thinking and talking, your body also has an autonomic nervous system, which regulates your bodily functions, like the beating of your heart, your breathing, the way you digest your food, your sweating patterns, etc. The autonomic system has two divisions. It consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The primary function of the sympathetic system is to stimulate your fight-or-flight response which is a physiological reaction that happens in response to a perceived harmful event, attack or threat to survival. The parasympathetic system enables you to maintain normal functions such as digesting and keeping the body at rest."

Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy liberated per unit time. The Basal Metabolic Rate is the rate of energy expenditure at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans). The Basal Metabolic Rate is the largest component of total caloric expenditure in humans: 70%Physical activity contributes: 20%Thermogenesis & digestion contributes: 10%Units used for Metabolic Energycalorie (cal – note lowercase) is the standard unit of metabolic heat energy, being the amount of energy needed to raise 1g of water by 1 degree, from 15 o to 16 o C. Calorie (kilocalorie, kcal, big calorie, large calorie, kilogram calorie) is more commonly used, representing 1000 calorie. Joule is the SI unit for energy, such that 1 calorie = 4.2 joule. To convert from Calories (kilocalories) to kilojoules, multiply by 4.2. How do we measure Metabolic Energy and Metabolic Rate?

In other words, if an individual increases their metabolism to a level where their body burns more calories than they consume on a daily basis, they will lose weight. Each individual has what is called a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). The Basal Metabolic Rate of an individual essentially refers to the amount of energy that their body expends when at rest in a neutrally temperate environment (i.e. a room at normal temperature). In order to detrmine an accurate BMR value it is also required for the digestive system to be inactive, which requires at least a 12-hour fast. Your sympathetic nervous system, essentially your \"\"fight or flight\"\" system, must be inactive as well. When all of these elements are in place, your BMR essentially refers to the amount of energy that your body expends when simply running the necessary mechanisms in your body. This primarily refers to the amount of energy required for your vital organs to function properly. Metabolism stimulants, boosters and supplements focus on increasing an individual’s BMR, hence increasing the number of calories their body burns on a daily basis.

Eating a meal rich in carbohydrates causes a spike in blood glucose level. The higher the glycemic index, the bigger spike in blood glucose level as shown below: [Image source: [1]]Orexin is a neuropeptide in the brain that regulates wakefulness among other things. Orexin signalling in the brain keeps us awake. [ Image Source: [2]]High glucose level in our blood after a meal (specifically with simple carbs), inhibits the function of orexin thus making us sleepy. [ 3]As the blood glucose level spikes in response to a meal, our pancreas produce a lot of insulin. The higher the insulin level the sleepier we get. It is because insulin causes changes to tryptophan and tyrosine ratios in the brain and results in secretion of seratonin and melatonin which cause us to feel sleepy.

About half, 3.5, liters is secreted from the exocrine glands, the salivary glands, the stomach and the liver, the other half is secreted by the epithelial cells of the of the digestive tract it self. Nearly all this fluid is absorbed, so the pellets of feces only contain a significant amount of fluid in diarrhea. To put this in perspective a 70 Kilogram man has about 42 liters of fluid, so the secretions represent about a sixth of the body's volume. The circulation contains about 3.5 liters, so these secretions represent twice the body's circulating volume. Failures of absorption of the intestinal secretions can thus lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. The secretions consist of digestive enzymes, mucous and substantial amounts of fluid and ions.

There is increasing awareness that the human gut bacteria play a critical role in maintaining health both within the gastrointestinal tract and throughout the rest of the body through the absorption of metabolites. The prebiotics concept, which was launched in 1995, concerns nondigested and selectively fermented carbohydrate food ingredients. It is thought that their effect in the colon could reduce risk for disease in the rest of the body. One can increase the number of good bacteria in the body in several ways: By taking probiotic supplements (the actual bacteria), eating yoghurt and other foods that have such bacteria, or by ingesting prebiotics which help stimulate the growth of good bacteria that are already in the colon. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), Galactooligosaccharide (GOS), inulin, dietary carbohydrates, and xylooligosaccharide (XOS) are some of the most studied prebiotics in humans. What are they? Prebiotics are food ingredients, mostly complex carbohydrates that are not digested, that stimulate the growth or activity of certain bacteria in the colon. The types of bacteria most often stimulated are bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria. These are considered good bacteria and can provide various health benefits. Br J Nutrition."

"text": "\" (The ISYS Project)An Introduction to the Immune System IMMUNE SYSTEMAll living organisms are continuously exposed to substances that are capable of causing them harm. Most organisms protect themselves against such substances in more than one way --- with physical barriers, for example, or with chemicals that repel or kill invaders. Animals with backbones, called vertebrates, have these types of general protective mechanisms, but they also have a more advanced protective system called the immune system. The immune system is a complex network of organs containing cells that recognize foreign substances in the body and destroy them. It protects vertebrates against pathogens, or infectious agents, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites. The human immune system is the most complex. Although there are many potentially harmful pathogens, no pathogen can invade or attack all organisms because a pathogen's ability to cause harm requires a susceptible victim, and not all organisms are susceptible to the same pathogens. For instance, the virus that causes AIDS in humans does not infect animals such as dogs, cats, and mice. Similarly, humans are not susceptible to the viruses that cause canine distemper, feline leukemia, and mouse pox. Two Kinds of Immunity All animals possess a primitive system of defense against the pathogens to which they are susceptible."

This mechanism is needed so that the immune system does not attack itself or the organisms healthy cells. Unfortunately, pathogens can evolve rapidly which would allow it to avoid the immune system and attack the host.

Used with permission OVERVIEWThe immune system has developed to protect the host from pathogens and other foreign substances. Self/non-self discrimination is one of the hallmarks of the immune system. There are two main sites where pathogens may reside: extracellularly in tissue spaces or intracellularly within a host cell, and the immune system has different ways of dealing with pathogens at these sites. Although immune responses are tailored to the pathogen and to where the pathogen resides, most pathogens can elicit both an antibody and a cell-mediated response, both of which may contribute to ridding the host of the pathogen. However, for any particular pathogen an antibody or a cell-mediated response may be more important for defense against the pathogen. Extracellular pathogens Antibodies are the primary defense against extracellular pathogens and they function in three major ways: Neutralization (Figure 1a) By binding to the pathogen or foreign substance antibodies, can block the association of the pathogen with their targets. For example, antibodies to bacterial toxins can prevent the binding of the toxin to host cells thereby rendering the toxin ineffective. Similarly, antibody binding to a virus or bacterial pathogen can block the attachment of the pathogen to its target cell thereby preventing infection or colonization."

Explain the role of B lymphocutes and T lymphocytes in adaptive immunity Adaptive immunity response is mediated by 2 different typesof lymphocytes--B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. B cells are responsibile for humoral immunity that is mediated by circulating antibodies. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity, in which they kill target cells directly or stimulate the activity of other leukocytes (p. 252)Antigens Antigens are substances that react with molecules of the immune system (antibodies, receptors on B and T cells). They are infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites), on noninfectious substances from the environment (pollens, foods, or bee venoms), or on drugs, vaccines, transfusions, and transplanted tissues. Adaptive immunity Protection from an infectious disease agent that is mediated by B- and T- LYMPHOCYTES following exposure to specific antigen, and characterized by IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY. It can result from either previous infection with that agent or vaccination (IMMUNITY, ACTIVE), or transfer of antibody or lymphocytes from an immune donor (IMMUNIZATION, PASSIVE).

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An illustration that shows how antigens induce the immune system response by interacting with an antibody that matches the antigen's molecular structure. In immunology, an antigen is a molecule capable of inducing an immune response (to produce an antibody) in the host organism. [ 1] Sometimes antigens are part of the host itself in an autoimmune disease. [ 2]Antigens are \"\"targeted\"\" by antibodies. Each antibody (immune response) is specifically produced by the immune system to match an antigen after cells in the immune system come into contact with it; this allows a precise identification or matching of the antigen and the initiation of a tailored response. The antibody is said to \"\"match\"\" the antigen in the sense that it can bind to it due to an adaptation performed to a region of the antibody; because of this, many different antibodies are produced, each with specificity to bind a different antigen while sharing the same basic structure. In most cases, an adapted antibody can only react to and bind one specific antigen; in some instances, however, antibodies may cross-react to and bind more than one antigen. Also, an antigen is a molecule that binds to Ag-specific receptors, but cannot necessarily induce an immune response in the body by itself. [ 3] Antigens are usually peptides (amino acid chains), polysaccharides (chains of monosaccharides/simple sugars) or lipids. In general, saccharides and lipids (as opposed to peptides) qualify as antigens but not as immunogens since they cannot elicit an immune response on their own."

OVERVIEW OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM We are constantly being exposed to infectious agents and yet, in most cases, we are able to resist these infections. It is our immune system that enables us to resist infections. The immune system is composed of two major subdivisions, the innate or non-specific immune system and the adaptive or specific immune system (Figure 1). The innate immune system is our first line of defense against invading organisms while the adaptive immune system acts as a second line of defense and also affords protection against re-exposure to the same pathogen. Each of the major subdivisions of the immune system has both cellular and humoral components by which they carry out their protective function (Figure 1). In addition, the innate immune system also has anatomical features that function as barriers to infection. Although these two arms of the immune system have distinct functions, there is interplay between these systems (i.e., components of the innate immune system influence the adaptive immune system and vice versa). Although the innate and adaptive immune systems both function to protect against invading organisms, they differ in a number of ways. The adaptive immune system requires some time to react to an invading organism, whereas the innate immune system includes defenses that, for the most part, are constitutively present and ready to be mobilized upon infection."

"text": "\"Adaptive Immune Response The adaptive, or acquired, immune response takes days or even weeks to become established—much longer than the innate response; however, adaptive immunity is more specific to pathogens and has memory. Adaptive immunity is an immunity that occurs after exposure to an antigen either from a pathogen or a vaccination. This part of the immune system is activated when the innate immune response is insufficient to control an infection. In fact, without information from the innate immune system, the adaptive response could not be mobilized. There are two types of adaptive responses: the cell-mediated immune response, which is carried out by T cells, and the humoral immune response, which is controlled by activated B cells and antibodies. Activated T cells and B cells that are specific to molecular structures on the pathogen proliferate and attack the invading pathogen. Their attack can kill pathogens directly or secrete antibodies that enhance the phagocytosis of pathogens and disrupt the infection. Adaptive immunity also involves a memory to provide the host with long-term protection from reinfection with the same type of pathogen; on re-exposure, this memory will facilitate an efficient and quick response. Antigen-presenting Cells Unlike NK cells of the innate immune system, B cells (B lymphocytes) are a type of white blood cell that gives rise to antibodies, whereas T cells (T lymphocytes) are a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune response. T cells are a key component in the cell-mediated response—the specific immune response that utilizes T cells to neutralize cells that have been infected with viruses and certain bacteria."

Other components of the immune system adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and are able to generate pathogens-specific immunity. An immune system may contain innate and adaptive components.

"text": "Immunity: Types, Components and Characteristics of Acquired Immunity Article Shared by ADVERTISEMENTS: Immunity: Types, Components and Characteristics of Acquired Immunity!Definition: Immunity is the ability of the body to protect against all types of foreign bodies like bacteria, virus, toxic substances, etc. which enter the body. Immunity is also called disease resistance. The lack of immunity is known as susceptibility. ADVERTISEMENTS: The science dealing with the various phenomena of immunity, induced sensitivity and allergy is called immunology. Types of Immunity: There are two major types of immunity: innate or natural or nonspecific and acquired or adaptive. ( A) Innate or Natural or Nonspecific Immunity (L. innatus = inborn): Innate immunity is inherited by the organism from the parents and protects it from birth throughout life. For example humans have innate immunity against distemper, a fatal disease of dogs. As its name nonspecific suggests that it lacks specific responses to specific invaders. Innate immunity or nonspecific immunity is well done by providing different barriers to the entry of the foreign agents into our body."

Specific Resistance (Acquired Immunity)Physical and Chemical Barriers (Innate Immunity)Physical and chemical barriers form the first line of defense when your body is invaded. Physical Barriers Your skin has thick layer of dead cells in the epidermis which provide protection Your mucous membranes trap microbes. Chemical Barriers Lysozyme, an enzyme produced in tears, acts as an antibiotic (kills bacteria)Gastric juice in the stomach destroys bacteria because the gastric juice is highly acidic (p H 2-3). Nonspecific Resistance (Innate Immunity)The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell). Macrophages leave the bloodstream and enter body tissues to patrol for pathogens."

"text": "Antigen-presenting Cells: B and T cells B and T cells, parts of the adaptive immune response, contain receptors that can identify antigens derived from pathogens. Learning Objectives Explain the role played by B and T cells in the adaptive immune system Key Takeaways Key Points The adaptive immune response is slower to develop than the innate immune response, but it can act much more powerfully and quickly than the innate immune response against pathogens that it has seen before. B and T cells are lymphocytes, or white blood cells, which are able to recognize antigens that distinguish “self” from “other” in the body. B and T cells that recognize “self” antigens are destroyed before they can mature; this helps to prevent the immune system from attacking its own body. Key Terms B cell: a lymphocyte, developed in the bursa of birds and the bone marrow of other animals, that produces antibodies and is responsible for the immune system T cell: a lymphocyte, from the thymus, that can recognize specific antigens and can activate or deactivate other immune cellsantigen: a substance that binds to a specific antibody; may cause an immune response Introduction The adaptive, or acquired, immune response to an initial infection takes days or even weeks to become established, much longer than the innate response. However, adaptive immunity is more specific to an invading pathogen and can fight back much more quickly than the innate response if it has seen the pathogen before. Adaptive immunity occurs after exposure to an antigen either from a pathogen or a vaccination. An antigen is a molecule that binds to a specific antibody, often stimulating a response in the immune system as a result. The adaptive immune response activates when the innate immune response insufficiently controls an infection. In fact, without information from the innate immune system, the adaptive response could not be mobilized."

The water cycle has been working for billions of years and all life on Earth depends on it continuing to work; the Earth would be a pretty stale place without it. Where does all the Earth's water come from? Primordial Earth was an incandescent globe made of magma, but all magmas contain water.

Groundwater begins as precipitation Surface water becoming groundwater, Russell Cave, Alabama Credit: Alan Cressler Anywhere in the world, a portion of the water that falls as rain and snow infiltrates into the subsurface soil and rock. How much infiltrates depends greatly on a number of factors. Infiltration of precipitation falling on the ice cap of Greenland might be very small, whereas, as this picture of a stream disappearing into a cave in southern Georgia, USA shows, a stream can act as a direct funnel right into groundwater!Some water that infiltrates will remain in the shallow soil layer, where it will gradually move vertically and horizontally through the soil and subsurface material. Some of the water may infiltrate deeper, recharging groundwater aquifers. If the aquifers are porous enough to allow water to move freely through it, people can drill wells into the aquifer and use the water for their purposes. Water may travel long distances or remain in groundwater storage for long periods before returning to the surface or seeping into other water bodies, such as streams and the oceans.

Local resources for problems related to sinkholes may be found on the Sinkhole Resources page. Introduction Just about any place where the land is underlain by relatively soluble bedrock, natural waters on and below the land surface slowly dissolve that bedrock. Dissolving is enhanced by these waters' tendency to be acidic. For example, rain is usually acidic because it contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. It often becomes more acidic as it soaks into the ground and picks up more CO2 from the soil. Such a landscape in which the bedrock is shaped, or sculpted, by dissolution is referred to as karst. The most common type of bedrock in karst terranes is carbonate rock, which includes limestone (calcium carbonate), dolostone (calcium-magnesium carbonate), and marble (calcium carbonate). There are a few other kinds of rock (e.g., gypsum, which is composed of calcium sulfate) that can be involved in karst, but in Maryland karst terranes are limited to areas underlain by carbonate rocks.

"text": "\"What Is Excavation? Excavation is the most time-honored archaeological tool for understanding the processes of the human past, and it certainly represents the type of activity that most people attribute to archaeology. As a definition, excavation is simply the controlled exploration of what lies below the surface, usually carried out systematically in gridded trenches with shovel and trowel. It is often slow and tedious work which involves digging down a centimeter at a time, but can also be backbreaking, difficult toil, shoveling through meters of densely packed soil. But the purpose is the same in either case, to reveal the types of human activities that took place at a site over time. Through the process of excavation, archaeologists look backwards into time, examining an area at discrete temporal periods. Excavating a few centimeters down may reflect the material culture of the 1800s while several meters may uncover artifacts from ancient times. Researchers can use the incomplete material record to reconstruct the cultural history of the place at particular points in time. Locating Sites The visible remains of the ancient past do not normally lie exposed on hilltops or in the open desert. The Parthenon in Athens and the Egyptian pyramids are the exceptions and not the norm (Figure 8.1)."

By the mid 1880s, two-chamber, automatic siphoning septic tank systems, similar to those used today, were being installed in the United States. Even now, more than a century later, septic tank systems represent a major household wastewater treatment option. Fully one-fourth to one-third of the homes in the United States use such a system [ 1]. On-site sewage disposal systems are used in rural areas where houses are spaced so far apart that a sewer system would be too expensive to install, or in areas around cities where the city government has not yet provided sewers to which the homes can connect. In these areas, people install their own private sewage treatment plants. As populations continue to expand beyond the reach of municipal sewer systems, more families are relying on individual on-site wastewater treatment systems and private water supplies. The close proximity of on-site water and wastewater systems in subdivisions and other developed areas, reliance on marginal or poor soils for on-site wastewater disposal, and a general lack of understanding by homeowners about proper septic tank system maintenance pose a significant threat to public health. The expertise on inspecting, maintaining, and installing these systems generally rests with the environmental health staff of the local county or city health departments. These private disposal systems are typically called septic tank systems."

Most permafrost is located in high latitudes (in and around the Arctic and Antarctic regions ), but at lower latitudes alpine permafrost occurs at higher elevations.

Faulkner Zachary M. Easton Wei Zhang Larry D. Geohring Tammo S. Steenhuis Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2010.03.019 Get rights and content Abstract Vegetative treatment areas (VTAs) are commonly being used as an alternative method of agricultural process wastewater treatment. However, it is also apparent that to completely prevent discharge of pollutants to the surrounding environment, settling of particulates and bound constituents from overland flow through VTAs is not sufficient. For effective remediation of dissolved agricultural pollutants, VTAs must infiltrate incoming wastewater. A simple water balance model for predicting VTA soil saturation and surface discharge in landscapes characterized by sloping terrain and a shallow restrictive layer is presented and discussed. The model accounts for the cumulative effect of successive rainfall events and wastewater input on soil moisture status and depth to water table. Nash–Sutcliffe efficiencies ranged from 0.65 to 0.81 for modeled and observed water table elevations after calibration of saturated hydraulic conductivity. Precipitation data from relatively low, average, and high annual rainfall years were used with soil, site, and contributing area data from an example VTA for simulations and comparisons. Model sensitivity to VTA width and contributing area (i.e. barnyard, feedlot, silage bunker, etc.) curve number was also investigated. Results of this analysis indicate that VTAs should be located on steeper slopes with deeper, more-permeable soils, which effectively lowers the shallow water table."

Mc Kinney Center for Research in Water Resources University of Texas at Austin Introduction Terrain Analysis and Watershed Delineation Identifying Inland Catchments Streams and Watersheds of the Niger River Basin Soil Water Balance Climate and Terrain Data Soil Water Budget Methodology Map-based Surface Water Simulation Overland Flow Within the Subwatersheds Stream Flow in the River Network Results Conclusions Acknowledgements References1. Introduction The FAO/UNESCO Water Balance of Africa is an effort undertaken jointly by the Center for Research in Water Resources (CRWR) of the University of Texas at Austin, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and UNESCO, for the purpose of better assessment and planning of the water resources of Africa. The Water Balance of the Niger River Basin is a pilot study for which the map-based methodology of soil-water, surface-water and groundwater balance has been developed. The Niger basin was studied because the basin is not providing enough food for its population, and water resources development programs are being considered as a means of improving the availability of water for food production. Evaluating such programs requires assessment of the amount and spatial pattern of available water resources, and the impact of development projects upon them. The water balance model is developed to help with these tasks. Data files for application of this model at any location of the earth have been compiled into a Digital Atlas of the World Water Balance, presently being prepared in CD-ROM format. Monthly soil water surplus is calculated using the Thornthwaite soil water balance model in which the evaporation computation has been modified to include a spatial database of net radiation obtained from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment. These water surpluses are transferred onto subwatersheds and routed using a subwatershed response function for the flow within a subwatershed, and the Muskingum method for the river flow downstream of the subwatersheds. The flow from the subwatershed to the river moves partly by subsurface flow, and partly by surface flow, each flow being delayed in time by a differing amount depending on whether it is surface or subsurface flow."

"text": "Previous (Water Margin) Next (Water fluoridation)The movement of water around, over, and through the Earth is called the water cycle. The water cycle, or the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous circulation of water within the Earth 's hydrosphere. It involves the movement of water into and out of various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, land, surface water, and groundwater. This cycle is driven by radiation from the Sun. The movement of water within the water cycle is the subject of the field of hydrology. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurface flow. In so doing, the water goes through different phases: liquid, solid, and gas. The water cycle also involves the exchange of heat energy, which leads to temperature changes. For instance, in the process of evaporation, water takes up energy from the surroundings and cools the environment. Conversely, in the process of condensation, water releases energy to its surroundings, warming the environment."

Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. This type of investigation is called a site investigation. Additionally, geotechnical investigations are also used to measure the thermal resistivity of soils or backfill materials required for underground transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines, radioactive waste disposal, and solar thermal storage facilities. A geotechnical investigation will include surface exploration and subsurface exploration of a site. Sometimes, geophysical methods are used to obtain data about sites. Subsurface exploration usually involves soil sampling and laboratory tests of the soil samples retrieved. Surface exploration can include geologic mapping, geophysical methods, and photogrammetry, or it can be as simple as a geotechnical professional walking around on the site to observe the physical conditions at the site. To obtain information about the soil conditions below the surface, some form of subsurface exploration is required. Methods of observing the soils below the surface, obtaining samples, and determining physical properties of the soils and rocks include test pits, trenching (particularly for locating faults and slide planes ), boring, and in situ tests."

"text": "Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering which deals with the behavior of earth materials. Professionals in this field examine the soil and rock layers that make up the earth in order to determine their physical and chemical properties. Using this information, they design foundations and earthworks structures for buildings, roads, and many other types of projects. The goal of geotechnical engineering is to design soil stabilization systems that keep people safe. This may include ensuring a building will remain standing on unstable soil, or preventing earthquakes and landslides from impacting major roads. Geotechnical engineers may also work on projects that deal with underwater soils, such as those affecting marinas or offshore platforms. The geotechnical design process starts with a subsurface investigation, where soil samples are taken using test pits or bores. Geotechnical engineers will then examine the properties of the soil, including its stability, the presence of air or rock pockets, and the chemical makeup of the earth. This investigation allows them to determine the environmental impact of disturbing the soil, as well as what steps should be taken to prepare the site for construction. Once subsurface work is complete, a geotechnical engineering professional can use the results of this research to design stable footings and foundations."

This document was prepared by the staff of the California Coastal Commission to discuss techniques which may eliminate or reduce the adverse effects of grading along the California coast. This report has not been approved by the Commission. INTRODUCTIONGrading is the alteration of natural landforms through removal and/or addition of soil undertaken to make a site safe or suitable for construction or development. Unfortunately, grading often results in negative alteration of the environment. Visual degradation caused by grading is often dramatic in mountainous areas and along coastal bluffs where flat areas have been created by grading. Grading may also disturb the natural habitats of plants and animals in areas on or near a project where grading occurs. The large areas of exposed earth at sites where grading has occurred can lead to increased erosion and siltation, as well as shifts in depositional areas. Changes in sedimentation rates and patterns can result in contamination of surface and groundwater systems, which in turn may result in lower quality of public drinking water as well as pose a threat to the stability of an environmentally sensitive habitat."

It grows wild in parts of India and is a member of the cactus family. It is a succulent plant that has been used for centuries to stave of hunger by tribesmen while on long hunts for food. One of the benefits of the caralluma fibriata plant was its ease to travel with. While away from their village the hunters would pack the caralluma fimbriata and eat a handful of the cactus plant so they would not be hungry for long periods of time during prolonged hunts. Caralluma Fimbriata has also been used in Ayurvedic medicine, one of the oldest health systems in the world. Ayurveda stresses the use of plant-based medicines and treatments Because of its well-known appetite suppressant properties, the caralluma was also labeled by some as the “famine food” during periods of time when food was scarce in rural areas. It helped tremendously with hunger pains among hungry. The extract of the Caralluma Fimbriata naturally helps to stop the trigger of the well known hunger hormone ghrelin, (this hormone tells your body it time) the caralluma blocks that signal, essentially telling the the body that it is not hungry. Today, caralluma fimbriata is a staple vegetable primarily in India."

Alcoholism tends to bring with it a cocktail of physical and psychological problems, and can have a devastating impact on personal and professional relationships too. Emotional issues are a common feature in uncontrolled drinking, and alcoholics are often seen a people seeking to shift their perspective of the World by looking at it through the bottom of a glass. However, while psychological strife is a frequent factor in alcoholism, physiology can play its part too. Craving for alcohol can be induced by an imbalance in the body’s chemistry. What is more, correcting this, through dietary changes, is often very effective in quelling a desire to drink. The principal energy source in the bloodstream is the sugar glucose, and the body is constantly striving to keep adequate levels of this whooshing around the system. If blood sugar levels should fall to subnormal levels, alarm bells ring within the body. One common manifestation of low blood sugar is a craving for something that will replenish fuel rapidly into the system. Some may experience this as a desire to raid the biscuit tin or vending machine."

"text": "Chocolate & Menstrual Crampsby MICHELE KADISON Aug. 14, 2017Menstrual cramps generally begin after your period has begun and often trigger the desire to binge on sweets in the hopes that the sugar will alleviate the pain. Cravings for chocolate are perhaps the most prevalent desire as it is widely considered to be a comfort food. But contrary to what might seem like a perfect antidote to feelings of discomfort, chocolate actually can aggravate symptoms, making the cramps much worse. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Next Up Roasted Beet Hummus00:44The Cause of Menstrual Cramps Menstrual cramps are caused when the lining of the uterus releases a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin. As prostaglandin is dispensed into the system, it causes the uterus to undergo spasms or contractions, which are from increased production of the substance. It is normal to have mild to moderate cramping at the beginning of menstruation because of prostaglandin's inflammatory effect as well as its influence over the constriction and dilation of blood vessels, which also causes variations in blood pressure. What Causes Chocolate Cravings A craving for chocolate during the early menstrual cycle is often because of higher levels of hormones that are triggered as insulin increases. This causes low blood sugar. When blood sugar is low, the brain sends signals to the body that it needs more fuel, which is often a misguided message to eat chocolate and other types of sweets. Instead of chocolate, increasing the intake of complex carbohydrates such as whole grains will help counter fluctuating blood sugar levels, which in turn helps lessen cramps."

Amino acids, including tryptophan, are the “building blocks of proteins,” and without a wide enough array of them in our diets, we actually can’t even survive, let alone thrive. We must get all the essential amino acids (like tryptophan, histidine, leucine and lysine, for example) through our diets since we can’t create on them on our own, but even other nonessential amino acids have many critical roles in the body. Essential amino acids help the body produce the kinds that are nonessential, and together they’re important for building and repairing muscle tissue, helping with neurotransmitter functions, supplying the brain with enough energy, and balancing blood sugar levels, for example. Of these amino acids, tryptophan plays an important role. So what is tryptophan, and why do we need it? That’s what we’re about to find out. What Is Tryptophan? Tryptophan (also called L-tryprophan) is an essential amino acid that acts like a natural mood regulator, since it has the ability to help the body produce and balance certain hormones naturally. Supplementing with tryptophan-rich foods or taking supplements helps bring on natural calming effects, induces sleep, fights anxiety and can also help burn more body fat."

Kimi Harris April 11, 2012, 1:30 a.m.22.7k Tweet1.8K7Refined sugar isn't your friend. It isn't that hard to live life without it. ( Photo: Handmade Pictures/Shutterstock)There's so much news about how bad sugar is for you. Dr. Sanjay Gupta was recently interviewed by \"\"60 Minutes \"\" along with several other experts, linking sugar consumption to everything from the obvious (such as weight gain) to serious diseases like cancer and heart disease. I don't know of anyone who thinks sugar is actually good for you, yet we average 130 pounds of sugar per person in the United States. The question is, why do we eat sugary foods and drinks when we know it's bad for us? One researcher said the desire for fructose is wired into us because in nature, anything with fructose in it isn't poisonous. Another researcher demonstrated with MRI scans how your brain releases dopamine when you eat something sweet."

Geography [ edit]Geography defines Wollongong, as the city is never more than roughly six kilometers at its widest but stretches over forty kilometers from South to North. Its growth was limited by mountains, which are not so much high as steep, and the sea, Wollongong has grown to include a whole chain of coastal towns, from Dapto and Port Kembla in the south to Bulli, Austinmer, and even up to Stanwell Park in the north. Continuous development has recently stretched the urban area along the coast as far as Kiama in the distant south but those areas are serviced by the growing centre of Shellharbour. Industry [ edit]Its modern origins are in coal mining and steel production, industries which persist, notably the Blue Scope steel facility at Port Kembla to the south. A dedicated port exists for the transport of materials whereas private craft and fishing boats use a separate facility nearer the city centre in Belmore Basin."

Synchrony Financial – the first credit card company to join the consortium – will be collaborating with the world’s largest financial institutions to develop ground-breaking commercial applications for the financial services industry that leverage the appropriate elements of distributed and shared ledger technology. The R3 team of financial industry veterans, technologists and blockchain and cryptocurrency experts collaborate with consortium members on research, experimentation, design and engineering to help advance this technology to meet banking requirements for identity, privacy, security, scalability, interoperability and integration with legacy systems. Consortium members work closely with R3 to develop Corda™ and a diverse range of commercial products for the financial markets participants. Corda™ is R3’s shared ledger platform specifically designed to record, manage and synchronise financial agreements between regulated financial institutions. It is heavily inspired by and captures the benefits of blockchain systems, without the design choices that make blockchains inappropriate for many banking scenarios. Synchrony Financial Executive Vice President and CIO, Carol Juel, noted, “We are excited to be a part of the R3 consortium to explore use cases for distributed and shared ledger technology. Having access to the R3 network and research will be valuable as we think through the many opportunities for blockchain to be leveraged across the consumer finance landscape. ”David Rutter, CEO of R3, commented: “R3 is the largest collaborative consortium of its kind in financial markets, comprising members from all corners of the industry. We welcome Synchrony Financial to the consortium and look forward to giving them access to a huge pool of expertise from electronic financial markets and distributed and shared ledger technologies, led by our team of technologists and industry experts."

Some key pieces of information for current cardholders: You can continue to make purchases until February 27, 2016World Market Reward Certificates will be issued according to the program guidelines, there is a minimum 300 point redemption threshold. Any points that haven’t reached this threshold will be forfeit on the April billing statement. If you have an account balance after February 28th, 2016 you’ll continue to receive statements from Synchrony What’s interesting about this is the fact that it looks like Cost Plus World Market aren’t partnering with another store credit card issuer for a new credit card. Most retailers find that their credit card arm is extremely profitable and requires little maintenance from their end, so I’m somewhat shocked to see they are abolishing their credit card completely. It’s also disappointing that it seems that current card holders have been given very little warning about these changes, especially with points being forfeit if under the 300 point threshold. The fact that another card issuer isn’t picking up this portfolio likely indicates that there is a small cardholder base though, so hopefully not too many people are affected. The card has the following rewards structure: Earn 1 point per $1 spent in store at Cost Plus World Market300 points = $15 in store credit That works out to be 5% back in Cost Plus World Market credit, not a terrible deal if you’d do your shopping there anyway.

If you are willing to open an online savings account (which is FDIC insured), you can now easily get a 1.50% APY or higher. Interest rates are only increasing online: traditional brick and mortar banks continue to pay very low rates. A typical savings account at a big bank only pays 0.01% APY.

Unlike many other store credit cards, Amazon’s can only be used online (for –hopefully- obvious reasons). However, for the most part, it will work just like any of your other credit cards when shopping online in that you will enter the information for it at checkout to make purchases through www.amazon.com and a handful of their subsidiary companies. As Amazon stores all payment methods used for future purchases, any subsequent payments that you want to use it for will mean just selecting it as your payment option. Amazon’s store credit cards are managed by Synchrony bank, which is the new name for GE Capital. And, though some of you might have been (wrongly) informed that the web address to go to for payments is www.synchrony.com/amazon, that is incorrect. I will link to the proper address in this post. Can I use my Amazon login information to pay my bill online or do I need to create a new account with Synchrony? You can’t use your regular Amazon.com login credentials to make payments.

Syphilis can cause long-term complications and/or death if not adequately treated. How common is syphilis? During 2011, there were 46,042 new cases of syphilis, of which 13,970 were of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis, the earliest and most transmissible stages of syphilis. During the 1990s, syphilis primarily occurred among heterosexual men and women of racial and ethnic minority groups; during the 2000s, however, cases increased among men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2002, rates of P&S syphilis were highest among men 30–39 years old, but by 2011, were highest among men 20–29 years old. This epidemiologic shift reflects increasing cases reported among young MSM in recent years. MSM accounted for 72 percent of all P&S syphilis cases in 2011. Black, Hispanic, and other racial/ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by P&S syphilis in the United States, with black Americans accounting for most of P&S syphilis among individuals who are not MSM."

Despite this, rabbit syphilis is highly infectious between rabbits and it is vital that affected animals are treated promptly to prevent further spread of the condition. Treponematosis, or rabbit syphilis, is a sexually transmitted bacterial disease caused by the spirochete Treponema paraluis-cuniculi. This disease is known to affect both males and females, and can be passed between rabbits during mating or from the milk of a doe to her kits. This can cause skin crusting of the genital organs, eyelids and nostrils, as well as abortion of kits in pregnant does. Wag! The #1 On-Demand Dog Walking App!

Outbreaks of syphilis have been reported in every major Canadian urban centre, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). In recent years, the number of new cases has risen dramatically. Symptoms of early syphilis vary considerably—from a painless chancre, a sore or a rash, to a fever, headache, problems with vision or more serious symptoms. Sexually active people should have blood tests for syphilis at least once a year. If caught early, syphilis can be treated effectively. If left untreated, syphilis can become a serious chronic disease. In HIV-positive people, syphilis can cause damage faster and sometimes be harder to treat than in HIV-negative people. People infected with both syphilis and HIV can also transmit HIV more easily. Key messages on syphilis for clients are available here."

Condoms do not always necessarily prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The scientific name for the syphilis organism is Treponema pallidum. Early syphilis causes a mouth or genital ulcer (chancre). This is the hallmark sisgn of the first stage. Later stages of syphilis can cause hair loss, headaches, sore throat, and skin rash. Eventually, syphilis can lead to heart and brain damage. The standard screening blood tests for syphilis are called the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) and Rapid Plasminogen Reagent (RPR) tests. These detect the response to infection. Any positive VDRL or RPR test must be confirmed by a test specific for the organism causing syphilis, such as the microhemagglutination assay for T. pallidum (MHA-TP) and the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed test (FTA- ABS )."

By Mayo Clinic Staff If you have sex — oral, anal or vaginal intercourse and genital touching — you can get an STD, also called a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Straight or gay, married or single, you're vulnerable to STIs and STI symptoms. Thinking or hoping your partner doesn't have an STI is no protection — you need to know for sure. And although condoms, when properly used, are highly effective for reducing transmission of some STDs, no method is foolproof. STI symptoms aren't always obvious. If you think you have STI symptoms or have been exposed to an STI, see a doctor. Some STIs are easy to treat and cure; others require more-complicated treatment to manage them. It's essential to be evaluated, and — if diagnosed with an STI — get treated. It's also essential to inform your partner or partners so that they can be evaluated and treated."

Sexually transmitted diseases arealso called venereal diseases. Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that 85% of the mostprevalent infectious diseases in the United States are sexually transmitted. The rate of STDs in this country is 50 to 100 times higher than that of any other industrialized nation. One in foursexually active Americans will be affected by an STD at some time in his or her life. About 12 million new STD infections occur in the United States each year. One in four occurs in someone between the ages of 16 and 19. Almost 65% of all STD infections affect people underthe age of 25. Types of stds STDs can have very painful long-term consequences as well as immediate health problems."

Syphilis is a common Sexually Transmitted Disease that has been shown to cause far reaching consequences and complications or even death if not attended to at an early stage. According to the World Health Organization WHO, there are about 12.22 million people who contract syphilis every year. The CDC shows rates of infection to be about 15000 per year. Though the disease is said to be transmitted through sexual intercourse, there are few cases where the infection occurs during pregnancy, thus infecting the unborn child. What Causes Syphilis? Syphilis is caused by a bacteria called Treponema pallidum and is transmitted sexually. Upon entering the body, the bacteria starts acting on the nervous system as well as body organs, the main one being the heart. Lack of immediate attention can cause irreversible damage to the body or even death. What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Syphilis?"

It is spread primarily though sexual contact, however the infection can also be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy or childbirth, causing congenital syphilis in the infected offspring. Syphilis is unique among sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in that its symptoms vary dramatically depending on the individual's stage of infection. Once a life-threatening infection, syphilis' symptoms have become much more manageable in modern times due to the widespread availability of medical treatments and the decreasing capability of the Treponema pallidum virus to invade host tissues and cause disease. Symptoms If left untreated, syphilis will progress through four stages of infection: 1) primary, 2) secondary, 3) latent, and 4) tertiary or late stage. Each stage is characterized by a shift in the presentation of the infection's symptoms. Stage One: The Primary Stage The primary stage is the first to occur and is typically acquired from direct contact with another individual's infectious lesions. Primary symptoms include: Appearance of a single, firm, usually painless, non-itchy skin ulceration called a “chancre.” The chancre typically appears three to 90 days after exposure to the bacterium. Appearance of multiple chancres."

The range of symptoms makes it easy to confuse syphiliswith less serious diseases and ignore its early signs. Acquired syphilis has four stages (primary,secondary, latent, and tertiary) and can be spread by sexual contact during the first three of these four stages. Syphilis, which is also called lues (from a Latin word meaning plague ), has been a major publichealth problem since the sixteenth century. The disease was treated with mercury or otherineffective remedies until World War I, when effective treatments based on arsenic or bismuthwere introduced. These were succeeded by antibiotics after World War II. At that time, thenumber of cases in the general population decreased, partly because of aggressive public healthmeasures. This temporary decrease, combined with the greater amount of attention given to AIDS in recent years, leads some people to think that syphilis is no longer a serious problem."

The chancre usually develops in the genital area. It can also develop on the lips, tongue or rectum if these areas have been exposed to a syphilis chancre on another person during oral or anal sexual contact.

Causes The thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system. It is located at the front of the neck just above where your collarbones meet. The gland makes the hormones that control the way every cell in the body uses energy. This process is called metabolism. Many diseases and conditions can cause hyperthyroidism, including: Graves disease (most common cause of hyperthyroidism)Inflammation (thyroiditis) of the thyroid due to viral infections, some medicines, or after pregnancy (common)Taking too much thyroid hormone (common)Noncancerous growths of the thyroid gland or pituitary gland (rare)Some tumors of the testes or ovaries (rare)Getting medical imaging tests with contrast dye that has iodine (rare, and only if there is a problem with the thyroid)Eating too much of foods that contain iodine (very rare, and only if there is a problem with the thyroid)Symptoms Common symptoms include: Difficulty concentrating Fatigue Frequent bowel movements Goiter (visibly enlarged thyroid gland) or thyroid nodules Hair loss Hand tremor Heat intolerance Increased appetite Increased sweating Irregular menstrual periods in women Nervousness Pounding or racing heart beat ( palpitations)Restlessness Sleep problems Weight loss (or weight gain, in some cases)Other symptoms that can occur with this disease: Breast development in men Clammy skin Diarrhea High blood pressure Itchy or irritated eyes Itchy skin Nausea and vomiting Protruding eyes (exophthalmos)Skin blushing or flushing Weakness of the hips and shoulders Exams and Tests The health care provider will do a physical exam. The exam may find the following: High systolic blood pressure (the first number in a blood pressure reading)Increased heart rate Enlarged thyroid gland Shaking of the hands Swelling or inflammation around the eyes Very strong reflexes Skin, hair, and nail changes Blood tests are also ordered to measure your thyroid hormones TSH, T3, and T4. You may also have blood tests to check: Cholesterol levels Glucose Imaging tests of the thyroid may also be needed, including: Radioactive iodine uptake and scan Thyroid ultrasound Treatment Treatment depends on the cause and severity of symptoms. Hyperthyroidism is usually treated with one or more of the following: Antithyroid medicines (propylthiouracil or methimazole)Radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid gland and stop the excess production of hormones Surgery to remove the thyroid If your thyroid is removed with surgery or destroyed with radioactive iodine, you must take thyroid hormone replacement pills for the rest of your life."

The great majority of thyroid nodules aren't serious and don't cause symptoms. Thyroid cancer accounts for only a small percentage of thyroid nodules. You often won't know you have a thyroid nodule until your doctor discovers it during a routine medical exam. Some thyroid nodules, however, may become large enough to be visible or make it difficult to swallow or breathe. Treatment options depend on the type of thyroid nodule you have. Symptoms Most thyroid nodules don't cause signs or symptoms. Occasionally, however, some nodules become so large that they can: Be felt Be seen, often as a swelling at the base of your neck Press on your windpipe or esophagus, causing shortness of breath or difficulty swallowing In some cases, thyroid nodules produce additional thyroxine, a hormone secreted by your thyroid gland. The extra thyroxine can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as: Unexplained weight loss Increased perspiration Tremor Nervousness Rapid or irregular heartbeat A few thyroid nodules are cancerous (malignant), but determining which nodules are malignant can't be done by symptoms alone.

She teaches in both the undergraduate and the graduate programs. Critical care nurses who have an understanding of acute thyrotoxicosis (a life-threatening condition that occurs as a result of excess production and release of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine) can quickly intervene to improve patients’ outcomes. The author describes thyroid physiology, discusses the clinical manifestations and treatment of acute thyrotoxicosis, and presents a case study of a patient with thyrotoxicosis who was admitted to the critical care unit because of acute congestive heart failure. Acute thyrotoxicosis is a systemic syndrome that occurs as a result of excess production and release of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine. The syndrome is characterized by a hypermetabolic state in which the tissues respond to an excess of circulating thyroid hormones by markedly increasing cellular function. 1 Under normal circumstances, thyroid hormones control metabolic processes in body tissues by increasing the rate of protein, fat, and glucose metabolism. 1, 2 If left untreated, the sustained hypermetabolic state that occurs in acute thyrotoxicosis can lead to death. Prompt recognition of thyrotoxicosis and aggressive treatment of the associated manifestations are essential. Critical care nurses who have an understanding of this life-threatening condition can quickly intervene to improve patients’ outcomes. In this article, I describe thyroid physiology, discuss the clinical manifestations and treatment of acute thyrotoxicosis, and present a case study of a patient with thyrotoxicosis who was admitted to the critical care unit because of acute congestive heart failure."

C O M OBJECTIVES AKA WHY READ THIS • Recognize the clinical presentations of endocrine emergencies involving the pancreas, thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands • Learn the approach to laboratory testing necessary for the diagnosis and management of these conditions in the ICU • Understand the treatment for most endocrine emergencies DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS • DKA is characterized by a syndrome of hyperglycemia, ketonemia, and an anion gap metabolic acidosis, usually > 20. • The degree of acidosis and magnitude of the increase in anion gap are dependent on the rate of ketoacid production and urinary excretion. • Hyperglycemia glycosuria and an osmotic diuresis, resulting in extracellular fluid volume depletion, which can be profound and result in hypotension DKA: PRESENTATION • Other causes of ketoacidosis: • Alcohol • Starvation• DKA is usually diagnosed in known diabetics who present to the emergency room with either noncompliance or with a concomitant stressful illness, especially infection, which has resulted in progressively worsened glycemic control and the onset of ketogenesis. DKA PRESENTATION • Many of the symptoms of DKA result in large measure from acidosis: polyuria, polydipsia, tachycardia, and lethargy. • The degree of acidosis is the primary determinant of depressed sensorium. • Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and Kussmaul respirations (with a characteristic fruity breath) may be present. LAB FINDINGS • Elevations in serum glucose and the presence of ketones in serum in urine • Laboratory abnormalities seen at presentation in DKA include: a low serum bicarbonate, elevated anion gap, leukocytosis, hyperkalemia, elevated BUN and creatinine (suggesting prerenal azotemia), and elevated amylase and lipase. • Leukocytosis is proportionate to the degree of acidemia and can confuse the clinical picture as regards the presence of infection. LAB FINDINGS • Hyperkalemia, due to extracellular osmotic shifting and insulin deficiency, is common despite a deficit in total body potassium, largely from urinary losses. • Serum sodium is variable in DKA and reflects a balance between osmotic dilution in the serum from hyperglycemia and urinary losses due to osmotic diuresis. •"

The most common form is Graves’ disease, but other forms of hyperthyroidism include toxic adenoma, TSH-secreting pituitary tumor, subacute or silent thyroiditis, and some forms of thyroid cancer. Thyroid storm is a rarely encountered manifestation of hyperthyroidism that can be precipitated by such events as thyroid ablation (surgical or radioiodine), medication overdosage, and trauma. This condition constitutes a medical emergency. Nursing Care Plans Nursing care management for patients with hyperthyroidism require vigilant care to prevent acute exacerbations and complications. Here are seven (7) hyperthyroidism nursing care plans: Risk for Decreased Cardiac Output Fatigue Risk for Disturbed Thought Processes Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements Anxiety Risk for Impaired Tissue Integrity Deficient Knowledge Other Possible Nursing Care Plans Back Next Risk for Decreased Cardiac Output Risk for Decreased Cardiac Output: At risk for Inadequate blood pumped by the heart to meet metabolic demands of the body. Risk factors may include Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, hypermetabolic state Increasing cardiac workload Changes in venous return and systemic vascular resistance Alterations in rate, rhythm, conduction Possibly evidenced by Not applicable. A risk diagnosis is not evidenced by signs and symptoms, as the problem has not occurred and nursing interventions are directed at prevention. Desired Outcomes Maintain adequate cardiac output for tissue needs as evidenced by stable vital signs, palpable peripheral pulses, good capillary refill, usual mentation, and absence of dysrhythmias.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Thyroid in pregnancy)navigation search Thyroid disease in pregnancy can affect the health of the mother as well as the child before and after delivery. [ 1]Thyroid disorders are prevalent in women of child-bearing age and for this reason commonly present as an intercurrent disease in pregnancy and the puerperium. [ 2] Uncorrected thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy has adverse effects on fetal and maternal well-being. [ 1] The deleterious effects of thyroid dysfunction can also extend beyond pregnancy and delivery to affect neurointellectual development in the early life of the child. Due to an increase in thyroxine binding globulin, an increase in placental type 3 deioidinase and the placental transfer of maternal thyroxine to the fetus, the demand for thyroid hormones is increased during pregnancy. [ 1] The necessary increase in thyroid hormone production is facilitated by high human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG) concentrations, which bind the TSH receptor and stimulate the maternal thyroid to increase maternal thyroid hormone concentrations by roughly 50%. [ 3] If the necessary increase in thyroid function cannot be met, this may cause a previously unnoticed (imld) thyroid disorder to worsen and become evident as gestational thyroid disease. [ 1] Currently, there is not enough evidence to suggest that screening for thyroid dysfunction is beneficial, especially since treatment thyroid hormone supplementation may come with a risk of overtreatment. After women give birth, about 5% develop postpartum thyroiditis which can occur up to nine months afterwards. This is characterized by a short period of hyperthyroidism followed by a period of hypothyroidism; 20–40% remain permanently hypothyroid. ["

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

The prevalence of low serum TSH levels ranges between 0.5% in children and 15% in the elderly population. Mild subclinical hyperthyroidism is more common than severe subclinical hyperthyroidism. Transient suppression of TSH secretion may occur because of several reasons; thus, corroboration of results from different assessments is essential in such cases. During differential diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, pituitary or hypothalamic disease, euthyroid sick syndrome, and drug-mediated suppression of TSH must be ruled out. A low plasma TSH value is also typically seen in the first trimester of gestation. Factitial or iatrogenic TSH inhibition caused by excessive intake of levothyroxine should be excluded by checking the patient’s medication history."

Although a number of disorders may result in hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease is a common cause. Because thyroid hormones affect a number of different body systems, signs and symptoms associated with Graves' disease can be wide ranging and significantly influence your overall well-being. Although Graves' disease may affect anyone, it's more common among women and before the age of 40. The primary treatment goals are to inhibit the overproduction of thyroid hormones and lessen the severity of symptoms. Grave's disease care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms Enlarged thyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy Graves' dermopathy Graves' dermopathy Common signs and symptoms of Graves' disease include: Anxiety and irritability A fine tremor of your hands or fingers Heat sensitivity and an increase in perspiration or warm, moist skin Weight loss, despite normal eating habits Enlargement of your thyroid gland (goiter)Change in menstrual cycles Erectile dysfunction or reduced libido Frequent bowel movements Bulging eyes (Graves' ophthalmopathy)Fatigue Thick, red skin usually on the shins or tops of the feet (Graves' dermopathy)Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)Graves' ophthalmopathy About 30 percent of people with Graves' disease show some signs and symptoms of a condition known as Graves' ophthalmopathy. In Graves' ophthalmopathy, inflammation and other immune system events affect muscles and other tissues around your eyes. The resulting signs and symptoms may include: Bulging eyes (exophthalmos)Gritty sensation in the eyes Pressure or pain in the eyes Puffy or retracted eyelids Reddened or inflamed eyes Light sensitivity Double vision Vision loss Graves' dermopathy An uncommon manifestation of Graves' disease, called Graves' dermopathy, is the reddening and thickening of the skin, most often on your shins or the tops of your feet.

"text": "\"Hyperthyroidism, also known as overactive thyroid, is a type of thyroid disease that occurs when the thyroid gland overproduces hormones. The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, makes hormones that affect your metabolism (how the body uses energy) and other processes. When these hormones are overproduced, many of the body's functions speed up. Your doctor may make a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism by performing a physical exam, ordering blood tests, or using a thyroid scan for imaging. Overactive thyroid is more common in women than men, but anyone can develop the condition. Because thyroid disorders impact our metabolism, these problems can also lead to weight gain or weight loss, the latter of which is a common symptom of hyperthyroidism. Note that other thyroid disorders include: Hypothyroidism The terms sound similar, but what is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? In the case of hypothyroidism, the thyroid doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones, while in the case of hyperthyroidism, the gland makes too much. Hypothyroidism is also sometimes referred to as underactive thyroid. Thyroid Nodules This problem refers to lumps in the thyroid gland."

"text": "Related Symptoms & Signs Shortness Of Breath Cough Wheezing Hyperventilation refers to overbreathing, in which ventilation exceeds the metabolic demand, and its related physiological consequences. Excessive breathing can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, shortness of breath, a sense of unsteadiness, muscle spasms in the hands and feet, and a tingling feeling around the mouth and fingertips. All of these symptoms are the result of abnormally low levels of carbon dioxide in the blood caused by overbreathing. The term hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) is sometimes used to describe the effects of hyperventilation observed in an emergency department setting. Many acute (sudden onset) cases of hyperventilation arise from panic, anxiety, and other emotional conditions. Hyperventilation, particularly chronic hyperventilation (that persists over time), can also be due to a range of medical conditions. The opposite of hyperventilation is termed hypoventilation (underventilation). REFERENCE: Kasper, D. L., et al., eds. Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 19th Ed."

Their appearances on the television shows, \"\"The Beverly Hillbillies,\"\" and \"\"Petticoat Junction,\"\" which will be rerun for many years, introduced millions to bluegrass music. What proves more difficult to identify are the years of musical experience that was so necessary to their unique sound. Lester Raymond Flatt was born at Duncan's Chapel, near the boundaries of Putnam and Overton Counties, Tennessee, on June 19, 1914. He learned much about the music he would play in the homes of friends and neighbors of his family. His father played the clawhammer style of banjo, and Lester dabbled with that instrument until he settled on the guitar. He moved to Virginia, where he made his living as a textile worker, finding like so many of his generation a weekly paycheck preferable to work on the family farm. He played in a band called The Harmonizers and appeared on his first radio show in 1939. One of the members of those early bands, Mac Wiseman, would figure prominently in Lester's future. Lester and his wife, Gladys, whom he had married when he was seventeen and she sixteen, joined Charlie Monroe's Kentucky Partners band, where she was a singer using the name \"\"Billie Jean,\"\" and Lester played mandolin and sang tenor."

June 9, 1992 • England Actor British performer Freddie Highmore began his acting career in 1999 at the age of seven. In 2005 he was only twelve years old and had already built up a pretty impressive resumé. Highmore landed his first movie role at the age of seven in Women Talking Dirty, playing opposite veteran actress Helena Bonham Carter (1966–). From then on the plucky lad with the big, brown eyes and adorably large ears became a familiar face to Brits who caught him in small parts on television and in film. In 2004, alone, Highmore appeared in three movies, but it was his standout performance in the critically acclaimed Finding Neverland that brought him worldwide attention. A star at seven Freddie Highmore was born on June 9, 1992, in England. Perhaps it was not surprising that he entered show business, considering his father, Edward Highmore, is an actor, and his mother is one of the country's top talent agents. In fact, it was thanks to his mother that he snagged his first auditions. \"\" I thought it would be a fun thing to do,\"\" Highmore commented to Jenelle Riley of Back Stage. \"\""

In the novel, ten people, who have previously been complicit in the deaths of others but have escaped notice and/or punishment, are tricked into coming onto an island. Even though the guests are the only people on the island, they are all mysteriously murdered one by one, in a manner paralleling, inexorably and sometimes grotesquely, the old nursery rhyme, \"\" Ten Little Indians \"\". The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6) and the US edition at $2.00. The novel has also been published and filmed under the title Ten Little Indians . It is Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery and the seventh most popular book of all time. It has been adapted into several plays, films, and a video game .

The reason is that Andresen is - or rather, was - the boy whose image adorns the front cover of The Boy, Greer's characteristically feisty combination of art history and coffee-table erotica. In 1970, the 15-year-old Andresen played Tadzio in Death in Venice, Luchino Visconti's adaptation of a Thomas Mann story. Overnight, Andresen became a celebrity, adored as the ethereally beautiful, blond-locked boy who becomes a fatal object of desire for Gustav von Aschenbach, played by Dirk Bogarde. But not just for him. \"\" The boy is the missing term in the discussions of the possibility of a female gaze,\"\" remarks Greer in her book. But ever since his appearance in Visconti's film Andresen has felt the scrutiny of both male and female gazes. The use of his image on The Boy is just one more unwelcome instance, he says: \"\"I have a feeling of being utilised that is close to distasteful. \"\" His objection is partly moral, he explains, talking from his home in Stockholm. \"\" Adult love for adolescents is something that I am against in principle,\"\" he says. \"\""

Cover appearing on revised editions of The Tower Treasure, the first Hardy Boys mystery The Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe Hardy, are fictional characters who appear in several mystery series for children and teens. The characters were created by American writer Edward Stratemeyer, the founder of book-packaging firm Stratemeyer Syndicate; the books themselves are written by ghostwriters under the collective pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon. [ 1]The Hardy Boys have evolved since their debut in 1927. Beginning in 1959, the books were extensively revised, partially to eliminate racial stereotypes. The books were also written in a simpler style to compete with television. Some critics argue that the Hardy Boys changed in the process, becoming affluent and law-respecting \"\"agents of the adult ruling class\"\" [2]. Most lamented the loss of the richer pre-war descriptive style, but saw the updates as an attempt to modernize the stories. Similar complaints were made about the updates to Nancy Drew, the female counterpart of the series. A new Hardy Boys series, the Hardy Boys Casefiles, was created in 1987, and featured murders, violence, and international espionage. The original \"\"Hardy Boys Mystery Stories\"\" series ended in 2005."

Mowgli, portrayed by Neel Sethi, right, and Baloo, voiced by Bill Murray, in The Jungle Book D isney and the director Jon Favreau have done a spectacular job of realising their new version of The Jungle Book using the sort of sophisticated digital effects familiar from Life of Pi. The only human visible on screen in Favreau’s movie is the man-cub Mowgli, played by the 10-year-old newcomer Neel Sethi. He fraternises convincingly with computer-generated animals including Bagheera the Panther (Ben Kingsley) and the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba). What no one involved in the project seems to have noticed is the irony of putting all this expensive, cutting-edge technology in the service of a story which sentimentalises the primitivism lurking within civilisation. It’s rather like cooking an enormous fry-up to mark the start of Healthy Eating Week, or throwing a decadent bash to promote austerity. The notion of a child growing up among beasts did not begin with Mowgli. In fact, it is deeply rooted in ancient culture and mythology: Romulus and Remus were said to have been raised by wolves, while Zeus was suckled by a goat, which was really his foster-mother Amalthea in animal form. Still, it’s Mowgli who has become the most enduring incarnation of this idea.0:00/0:00Loaded Progress Fullscreen Mute This video is no longer available.

Will it be ok to tow it across the country? From what I understand, the towing capacity for my Kia Soul sport is about 2000lbs. I'm in the process of moving from Missouri to Cali and will be traveling through OK, NM, TX and AR. Any information would be appreciated!!

However, the UK models say that you can tow up to 300 lbs. tongue weight and 2000 gross. If you are towing anything that heavy, I would highly recommend trailer brakes."

"text": "2014 Nissan Cube Overview Is the 2014 Nissan Cube a Good Used Car? The Nissan Cube is a fine car if you're not interested in power or style. It will get you from point A to point B, but it won't be exciting. The Cube has a good list of easy-to-use standard and available features. However, its interior is full of plastics, and it has sluggish highway acceleration. The 2014 Nissan Cube's four-cylinder engine offers decent power for most driving situations, but its highway acceleration is lackluster. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but the available automatic transmission is better matched to the engine. The base Cube earns EPA estimates of 25 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, which is low for the class. Although the Cube's handling isn't very agile, it has a pleasant ride and strong brakes. It’s also easy to park."

A part of Kia's compact family of cars (one that includes the Forte sedan, coupe, and hatchback) the Soul has an unorthodox hatchback shape that's won it the affection of buyers who might otherwise be shopping for a small crossover SUV. With the Soul, Kia found a mainstream hit in a boxy shape. It's a rival for the Jeep Renegade, VW Golf, and Nissan Juke—even the Kia Niro that offers better fuel economy, albeit in a smaller package. The Soul is the South Korean brand's first and only model sold with an all-electric version in the U. S., albeit in very small quantities. The Kia Soul EV has about 100 miles of battery-powered driving range. MORE: Read our 2018 Kia Soul review The new Kia Soul A redesigned version of the Soul emerged in 2014, with more power and a much better interior. Engine options include a pair of 4-cylinders, with manual and automatic transmissions on offer. The base engine is a 1.6-liter inline-4 with 130 horsepower and 118-pound-feet. Soul Plus and Soul Exclaim hatchbacks are fitted with a 2.0-liter, inline-4 that produces 164 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque, paired only with a 6-speed automatic, which is optional on the base model."

The x B's generous passenger and cargo room may seem appealing, but you'll sacrifice a lot for that space. The x B's performance is lackluster, and the cabin is fitted with cheap materials. The x B also earns lower safety scores than most compact cars. Used 2015 Scion x B Performance and Interior The x B performs best in city driving, with brisk acceleration from a stop and good maneuverability to dart through traffic. At higher speeds, the x B's four-cylinder engine feels taxed. Neither the standard manual transmission nor the available automatic are particularly satisfactory. The manual feels unrefined when shifting, and the automatic hesitates to change gears when more power is needed. The x B gets 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, which is lower than most rivals’ gas mileage."

"text": "Video Diesel Powersets land speed towing record at 141.998 mph Zach Bowman Oct 31st 2012 at 11:57AMSubscribe0Comments There are more land speed record categories than we care to count, but the minds at Diesel Power recently tackled one of the more interesting and obscure titles in the realm: the record for the fastest vehicle towing a trailer. That meant the team would need to exceed the 139.11 mph barrier set by the previous record holder. To do that, they whipped up a GMC 2500 HD with over 1,000 horsepower and a two-stage nitrous set up. The trailer itself also required a bit of tweaking, and the crew ditched the standard wheel and tire combination for some V-rated rubber. Of course, it goes without saying that you should never exceed the posted speed limit, especially when towing a load behind your vehicle. Diesel Power took to the sands of the El Mirage dry lake bed for this stunt, complete with plenty of emergency personnel on hand. The result was 141.998 mph through the traps, which was good enough to take the title.

The Car Connection.com's editors read the latest reviews on the new 2008 Kia Sorento to write this comprehensive review. The car experts at The Car Connection.com also drove the 2008 Kia Sorento to be able to deliver a definitive opinion on the car, to compare it with other cars in the class, and to help you make the right shopping decision. While many automakers have turned their mid-size, truck-based SUVs into car-based crossover vehicles, the 2008 Kia Sorento remains part of the old school--at least for one more year. Restyled in 2007, the 2008 Sorento adds a new 3.3-liter V-6 as the engine in the base Sorento LX; it makes 242 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque, and comes with a five-speed automatic. So equipped, the Sorento is capable of towing 3,500 pounds. A larger 3.8-liter V-6 remains the standard engine on the EX models. It's also teamed to a five-speed automatic, and it gives the Sorento 5,000-pound towing capacity. Neither engine is unhappy on the go, but they produce strictly average performance--below average, if you count fuel economy of 15/20 mpg with the larger engine and 16/22 mpg with the smaller V-6. Both rear- and four-wheel-drive versions of the 2008 Kia Sorento are offered."

I have previously owned the Honda CRV so I am familiar with Honda. I am pondering the Kia Sorento. If you have experience with the redesigned Kia Sorento, I would appreciate your comments. Also, the Sorento is limited to 60 mph. Are these real limitations or guidelines. * This post was edited 05/27/12 11:30am by LK23 * 2017 Dutch Star 4369 2015 Cadillac SRX Toad Army Pilot, Vietnam 1971-71 Author of ACE, The Story of Lt.

"text": "Where Are Kia Cars Built? A Kia Car FAQJuly 18, 2014Comments Email Kia cars are built at several different manufacturing plants, the majority of them located in Kia's home country, South Korea. Headquartered in Seoul, Kia Motors is South Korea's second largest automobile manufacturer. Its history dates back to 1944, where it started producing bicycles and steel tubes. In 1952, Kia started producing automobiles, motorcycles and trucks, mostly for the domestic Korean market. In 1994, two years after the creation of its American arm, Kia Motors America, Kia branded vehicles appeared on the North American market. Since then, the company has consistently expanded its reach from its original Korean market, to markets in North America and Europe. The first assembly plant in North America was opened in 2006, in West Point, Georgia. Having a domenstic manufacturing foothold helped the company increase production and gain a competitive edge in the market share, with sales surpassing their competitors such as Mazda and Chrysler. Kia also has an assembly plant in Europe, located in Zilina, Slovakia."

"text": "NEXTi Stockphoto /Tim Mc Caig Before you drive off with a boat in tow, you need to make sure its weight is within your truck's towing capacity. Towing capacity, sometimes called maximum towing capacity, is the maximum allowable weight that a vehicle can tow. Towing capacity is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and can usually be found in the owner’s manual. Some towing hitches’ towing capacity exceeds that of certain cars and trucks, but that is because hitches can often fit on many different types of tow vehicles. Always follow the auto manufacturer’s designated towing capacity to prevent damage to your vehicle. Up Next How Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Works How Gross Axle Weight Rating Works How Gross Combined Weight Rating Works See all Towing Articles This towing capacity chart shows towing capacity by year, make and model so it’s easy to find your vehicle’s towing capacity. When consulting this towing capacity chart, remember that passenger weight exceeding 150 lbs., optional equipment, and additional cargo should be calculated and added into the equation. Never exceed your vehicle’s towing capacity because doing so can affect your vehicle’s handling, stopping ability, or possibly even damage the drivetrain. Depending on the make and model year of your car or truck, you may be able to find your vehicle's towing capacity on the following chart."

"text": "By James Hamel - May 23, 2013Categories: Drive Apart, Lists Tweet Top Five Small and Inexpensive Cars that Can Tow and Haul When you think of vehicles used for towing or hauling, generally your mind would turn to the many find trucks and SUVs on the market today that were purpose built for this workaday need so many of us have. Now, we may only be looking at towing a light racing bike or even a heavier cruiser so why do we need a giant super duty pick-up with dual back wheels if our needs rarely involve towing all of our dirt bikes or motor home? Well, these five affordable and compact cars have quite capable tow/haul abilities despite being looked at mainly as economical commuters used by common men and women all across the country. We at Drive Apart do advise as always that you invest in a trailer with its own braking system as the extra burden put on these small cars and their braking systems can cause them to wear quickly or possibly be overwhelmed on very steep grades. Investing in aftermarket tow kits with features like heavy duty fluid coolers is a possibility to consider, as well. Lastly, what also makes great sense about owning these cars is not only that they offer you a handy motorcycle towing tool but that if you commute to work via motorcycle in the warmer months these cars are there in your garage when you need enclosed transport for the below zero winter months. So if you would rather spend money on a new bike than an overly expensive new car, look no farther than these five vehicles. They are perfect if you are serious about motorcycles but also seriously on a budget.2000 pounds of towing power.2013 Kia Soul! — This top of the line version of the appealingly cheeky Soul comes available with a terrific Premium Package ($2,500) which adds leather seating, automatic climate control, push button start, heated front seats and a terrific in-dash navigation system so you’ll always know where you are going in this near perfect $19,900 blend of style and frugality. The Soul’s tow rating is 2,000 pounds.2000 pounds of towing power.2013 Mazda3 I Grand Touring 5-door — Compact cars don’t come much more well equipped than this $23,300 Mazda hatchback which offers owners a 2,000 pound tow rating as well as leather seating, in-dash navigation, automatic climate control, a power moon roof, Bose 10-Speaker audio and everything you could ever want from a small car."

Taser is technically a registered trademark brand name for a kind of stun gun, and is one of three kinds of stun guns we will outline here. Stun Guns Stun guns are devices to incapacitate threatening people who are unmanageable by any other means. These are now widely used by security personnel and police officers, and are increasingly popular consumer items. Advertiser Links for Stun Guns [ what's this? ] There are several styles of stun guns, including the traditional gun unit and the Taser, which is a noteworthy variation on the stun gun. Other styles or designs of the stun gun can include: Stun batons. These are ideal for security personnel, as the unit can double as a club. Stun guns disguised as other accessories, such as a cell phone. Assailants will not recognize it as a threat and, thus, they will not try to immediately disarm you."

Tuesday 23 June 2009 23:00 BST 0 comments Click to follow The Independent Online It’d be difficult to get a coherent description of the sensation from, say, the bull, eight dogs, and a Welsh sheep (nicknamed Sparky) who, according to Freedom of Information Act statistics, are among those who have been Tasered by police since the introduction of the 50,000-volt stun-guns in 2004. But human victims have been more forthcoming. One, David Sylvester, a grandfather who owns his own security business, last year told the Independent’s Johann Hari how he suffered indescribable pain when Tasered in the head by police in London. Another Taser target said it was “like someone reached into my body to rip my muscles apart with a fork.” And a third London man, attacked by muggers using a stun-gun – which can generate an electric shock as great as the police Tasers – says: “I felt like I’d been stabbed in the back with a knitting needle. My knees went from under me. It was really frightening. It left burn marks on my skin, even through my clothes. ”Civil liberties campaigners have called for a ban on use of the weapons, but 6,000 more Tasers are due to be issued to UK police."

As it is a handheld device, you could say the range of one is the length of your arm. What is the Stun Gun Voltage Range? This is a common misconception about stun guns in general. Without knowing what one is, most people think, \"\"Phasers on Stun\"\" and believe that a beam of energy shoots out and knocks the person unconscious. A real-life stun device does not shoot out its voltage at all. The energy is stored up in the device and released when you press the trigger. However, the stopping power is limited to the metal probes that are on the end of the device and do not shoot out any further. It is these metal probes that must make contact with your attacker in order for the electrical energy to pass from the weapon to the other person."

"text": "\"NEXTStun guns generate a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical charge. On the old \"\"Star Trek\"\" series, Captain Kirk and his crew never left the ship without their trusty phasers. One of the coolest things about these weapons was the \"\"stun\"\" setting. Unless things were completely out of control (as they frequently were), the Enterprise crew always stunned their adversaries, rendering them temporarily unconscious, rather than killing them. We're still a ways off from this futuristic weaponry, but millions of police officers, soldiers and ordinary citizens do carry real-life stun weapons to protect against personal attacks. Like the fictional phasers of \"\"Star Trek,\"\" these devices are designed to temporarily incapacitate a person without doing any long-term damage. In this article, we'll find out how stun guns and Taser guns pull off this remarkable feat. While these weapons are by no means infallible, they can save lives in certain situations. Fw: Thinking A Stunning Technology Is there a safe way to stun? In Star Trek, setting phasers to stun was a way to incapacitate a threat safely."

The new law is below:1. In order to possess a Taser or stun gun, an individual must have a valid FOID card, as is currently required for firearms.2. Sellers of Taser or stun guns must check the buyers FOID card and keep the record of sale for ten years, the same requirements for firearms sales.3. When a licensed firearms dealer sells a Taser or stun gun, they must request a background check of the buyer.4.

"text": "\"Taser, Taser, Taser May 21, 2008I reckon Roni Levi, the mentally-disturbed Frenchman who was shot dead on Bondi Beach in 1997, would be chuckling to himself in the after-life about the current furore over the introduction of Tasers by the NSW police force. On a cold Saturday morning in June, Levi, who was armed with a kitchen knife and surrounded by six armed police officers, was shot three times in the chest and once between his scrotum and anus, resulting in one of the most famous newspaper photographs of the decade. Levi died about 45 minutes later at St Vincent's Hospital, the officers who shot him ultimately left the police force, and his death now stands as pivotal \"\"what if\"\" moment in the history of police violence in this country. What if the cops had been armed with capsicum spray? Would Roni be alive? What if the police that day had access to Tasers, would Roni now be following his passion, taking pictures somewhere exotic? I reckon if you could ask Levi what he'd prefer to be shot with - a Taser or a .38 calibre model 10 Smith & Wesson with bullets that would ultimately mince his lungs, ribs, oesophagus, liver and spine - he'd give you one of his friendly smiles and say \"\"Taser, Taser, Taser\"\" ... I've been shot with a Taser and it's really, really unpleasant; in fact I described it two years ago as \"\"the biggest, worst orgasm you've had in your life\"\" if that makes any sense. You can see the video of it happening here and what you should know is none of the footage was staged, it was filmed in real time and the fact I was able to stand up and deliver a piece to camera seconds after 50,000 volts of electricity had passed through my body should be instructive. Civil libertarians can bitch and moan about the Taser and its possible misuse but it's a damn sight preferable being able to talk and walk normally within seconds of being \"\"pacified\"\" than what happened to Roni Levi. Currently, police who are called to violent situations have a few options."

"text": "\"How to down a drone…February 11, 2010“If you’ve done nothing wrong… you have nothing to fear. ”This year a UK Home Office backed coalition of regional Police Authorities will embark on a project to extend their national surveillance network by deploying unmanned airborne surveillance drones across the country. It’s planned that in the build up to 2012 the drones will be used to foil potential terrorist attacks, detect illegal immigration planning to cross the channel (by flying over France? ), monitor anti-social behaviour and public order situations (demonstrations) and of course to gather intelligence on subversive activities. The introduction of these drones represents a significant expansion of the surveillance state, planned and delivered by un-democratic consortium of police authorities and loosely regulated by vague and rarely tested laws. With this expansion of the surveillance state should come an equal counter-response probing the legal and practical boundaries of surveillance: What methods can be used to disrupt or destroy drone technology? The drones come in a number of flavours; the ‘military derived’ Afghanistan tested fixed wing HERTI drone from BAE Systems, the much smaller and less serious looking rotor driven Hicam Microdrone and the rumoured Lindstrand Technologies GA22 airship unmanned inflatable drone. the drones are usually equipped with remote cameras but have already been tested to carry loudspeakers, LRAD audio technology and weaponry such as Tasers and Flash-ball guns (as demonstrated by Tecknisolar Seni in France).

Its sodium salt is the chief ingredient of the bile of carnivorous animals. Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in bile of mammals. The distinction between different bile acids is minute, depends only on presence or absence of hydroxyl groups on positions 3, 7, and 12. Bile acids are physiological detergents that facilitate excretion, absorption, and transport of fats and sterols in the intestine and liver. Bile acids are also steroidal amphipathic molecules derived from the catabolism of cholesterol. They modulate bile flow and lipid secretion, are essential for the absorption of dietary fats and vitamins, and have been implicated in the regulation of all the key enzymes involved in cholesterol homeostasis. Bile acids recirculate through the liver, bile ducts, small intestine and portal vein to form an enterohepatic circuit. They exist as anions at physiological p H and, consequently, require a carrier for transport across the membranes of the enterohepatic tissues. The unique detergent properties of bile acids are essential for the digestion and intestinal absorption of hydrophobic nutrients."

Because of this, when an acid is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in the solution. This kind of solution is acidic. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions. When a base is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions shifts the opposite way. Because the base \"\"soaks up\"\" hydrogen ions, the result is a solution with more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. This kind of solution is alkaline. Acidity and alkalinity are measured with a logarithmic scale called p H. Pure water has a neutral p H of 7."

We want to know how lipid molecules, specifically single and double chain amphiphiles, interact with each other and solvent when they are added to water. Before you read the answer, look at the image below and ask yourself the question: What would I do if I were a single chain amphiphile ready to jump into water? A single chain amphiphile jumps into water!When added to water, single chain amphiphiles form both monolayers on the surface of the water and micelles, while some monomer remain in solution. Double chain amphiphiles form bilayers instead of micelles. ( Note: single and double chain amphiphiles can form other multimolecular aggregate structures as well, but these are the most common and are the only ones we will consider. ) Figure: Structures of single and double chain amphipiles in water - Micelles and Bilayers Jmol Updated Micelle Jmol14 (Java) | JSMol (HTML5)Jmol: Updated Nonhydrated Bilayer Jmol14 (Java) | JSMol (HTML5)The micelle interior is completely nonpolar. Spherical bilayers that enclose an aqueous compartment are called vesicles or liposomes. Micelles and bilayers, formed from single and double-chain amphiphiles, respectively, represent noncovalent aggregates and hence are formed by an entirely physical process."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Chemistry Elements and Compounds Acids and Bases Most dangerous acid? Flag Most dangerous acid? Answer by Harvey DEJYoung Confidence votes 53Of the common laboratory acids, the most dangerous to work with is usually concentrated nitric acid because it reacts so strongly with so many chemicals, releasing poisonous gases. It also fumes, can cause explosions, and instantly oxidizes flesh causing severe burns. There is no easy answer to what is the most dangerous acid because some acids are more corrosive, some are poisonous, and some are explosive. The strongest acid is Sb F5 in HF. This is rare and the strongest acid one would find in a normal chemistry laboratory is usually hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, or perchloric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is an interesting case - it is a weak acid (it does not ionize) and as a result can be absorbed by the skin very quickly. Once absorbed, it damages tissue causing severe pain, chemical imbalances, and almost certain death if more than 50m L are in contact with skin. Other acids are dangerous because of toxic qualities rather than acidic qualities."

"text": "\"Digestion DIGESTION. Most of the food substances taken by animals for nourishment require some alteration before they can be ab sorbed into the blood and in this way carried to all parts of the body. The conversion of foodstuffs into diffusible or assimilable substances is known as digestion and is carried out in the ali mentary canal, mainly by the enzymes secreted by the various glands. The food introduced into the mouth begins its long jour ney through the alimentary canal, where it comes into contact with the digestive juices and thus undergoes chemical disintegra tion, the products being finally absorbed. The three chief func tions of the digestive tract are (i) propulsion of food along the tract; (2) secretion of digestive juices by glands which are con nected with the tract by means of ducts or situated in the walls of the tract; (3) absorption of the final products of digestion. Salivary Secretion. The food undergoes its first change while in the mouth; it is broken up into small pieces during the process of mastication, and is well mixed with the first digestive juice, the saliva. The normal secretion of saliva can best be studied in animals in which the natural opening of one of the salivary glands has been surgically trans planted from the inside skin of the mouth to the outside, so that the saliva flows from the gland through the diverted duct to the chin or cheek of the animal. As a result of this harmless operation, the saliva can easily be collected, measured and analyzed. This operation is known as the establish ment of a salivary fistula."

Instead, it has a number of essential physiological functions:1. In humans and animals, cholesterol is a major constituent of the cell membranes. Cholesterol modulates physical properties of these membranes that in turn affect the function of membrane proteins such as receptors and transporters. Experimental depletion of membrane cholesterol cripples many cellular functions.2. Cholesterol is the biosynthetic precursor of bile acids, which are essential for fat digestion.3. Cholesterol is the precursor of all steroid hormones, namely, androgens, estrogens, progestins, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and calciferol (vitamin D). Nevertheless, it certainly is true that cholesterol also plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this chapter, we will first cover the metabolic pathways that involve cholesterol, and then take a look at the role of cholesterol in this important cardiovascular disease.11.1.1Processes that determine the cholesterol balanceintestinal uptake of dietary cholesterolde novo cholesterol synthesissynthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterolsynthesis of bile acids from cholesterol, and their biliary secretionbiliary secretion of surplus cholesterol in unmodified form Cholesterol can both be synthesized endogenously and obtained from the diet.

It is mostly found in seaweed, meat and animal source foods, excluding milk products, in places such as the brain, retina, muscle, and heart. It doesn't come from the genitals of the bull Taurine is very important because it strengthens the heart muscle, boosts vision, and helps prevent macular degeneration; is the key component of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fats and proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles. Taurine is found in most energy drinksfemiluv · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Synthetic taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulfurous acid. This leads directly to taurine. Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurinetony · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Taurine is conjugated via its amino terminal group with chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid to form the bile salts sodium taurochenodeoxycholate and sodium taurocholate. The low p Ka (1.5) of taurine's sulfonic acid group ensures that this moiety is negatively charged in the p H ranges normally found in the intestinal tract and thus improves the surfactant properties of the cholic acid conjugate."

"text": "Cholesterol, bile acids, and steroid hormones Sterol metabolism In humans cholesterol and cholesterol derivatives (steroid hormones, bile acids) are essential metabolites for the physiological integration of the body of the endocrine system, regulation of cell membrane processes, and adsorption of dietary lipids. Cholesterol (C00187; systematic name Cholest-5-en-3beta-ol) and its fatty acyl esters ( C02530) are important structural components of membranes. Cholesterol also serves as precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones, vitamin D, (C05441; vitamin D2) and bile salts, which are important in fat absorption from the small intestine into the blood circulatory system and secretion of liver waste products through feces (e.g. bilirubin, the end product of heme degradation which gives feces its dark coloration). As for glucose, the body balance of cholesterol is under control of the liver which regulates the turnover rate of cholesterol levels via lipoprotein particles. Cholesterol synthesis (KEGG pathway MAP00100)While dietary cholesterol uptake in humans is limited to about 0.5g/day or less, all physiological requirments for cholesterol are supplied by the liver through de novo synthesis of cholesterol from acetyl-Co A. Cholesterol, a C27 compound is synthesized in a pathway that can be split in three parts:1. Synthesis of mevalonate, a reduced C6 compound from 3 Acetyl-Co A units 2. Activation of mevalonate to isopentenyl-PP (isoprene unit), a C5 precursor which is used to elongate a lipid chain to squalene, a C30 intermediate 3. Cyclycation and demethylation of squalene by monooxygenases to the cyclic C27 cholesterol end product The first part of cholesterol synthesis is located in the cytoplasmic compartment in a process reminiscent of ketone body formation in the mitochondrion. Two acetyl-Co A units are combined to acetoacetyl-Co A (C00332) by a thiolase (EC 2.3.1.9; Acetyl-Co A C-acetyltransferase) reaction. The acetoacetyl-Co A is further combined by hydroxymethylglutaryl-Co A synthase (EC 4.1.3.5) with a third acetyl-Co A unit to form the six carbon (C6) intermediate beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl-Co A (C))356; HMG-Co A )."

"text": "\"Why a Pterosaur is Not a Dinosaur Calling a pterosaur a dinosaur is an error of the same order of magnitude as saying that our species is a marsupial Artist’s impression of a group of giant azhdarchids, Quetzalcoatlus northropi, foraging on a Cretaceous fern prairie. A juvenile titanosaur has been caught by one pterosaur, while the others stalk through the scrub in search of small vertebrates and other food. ( Wikimedia Commons)By Brian Switeksmithsonian.com November 18, 2010Earlier this week paleontologists Mark Witton and Michael Habib published a new study in PLo S One on how pterosaurs—particularly large forms such as Quetzalcoatlus —took to the air. Rather than pushing off the ground with their legs, pterosaurs used their arms in a pole-vault type of motion to launch themselves skyward. Interesting stuff, but I quickly became irritated by some of the popular coverage of the new research. Whenever a story about pterosaurs makes it into mainstream news outlets, it is almost inevitable the flying archosaurs are going to be mistakenly called “dinosaurs” by at least one source. In this case the British newspaper the Telegraph and the venerable BBC were two of the main offenders, each declaring that pterosaurs were dinosaurs in their headlines. It might be easy to brush off my complaint as a case of paleo-pedantry, but word choice matters. “ Dinosaur” is a word for a specific group of creatures united by shared characteristics and which had their own evolutionary history—it is not a catch-all term for anything reptilian and prehistoric. Calling a pterosaur a dinosaur is an error of the same order of magnitude as saying that our species is a marsupial, but to understand why we need to flesh out the evolutionary relationships of these animals.

Even the most rational of men can awaken the inner god in themselves with nothing but relying on their pure instincts.

"text": "\"Answer by Zoe Mc Neil Confidence votes 8.4KI like donuts. Area code 855 is a non-geographic area code, meaning that it is not associated with any particular city, state, province, or country. Area code 855 is a toll-free number, joining the list of 800, 888, 877, 866, and 844 toll-free numbers. Area codes 833 and 822 are reserved for future toll-free numbers. Note that you may still pay for airtime to call a toll-free number from your cellphone. This is only the case for limited cellphone plans that charge you per minute. From outside North America, you may (or may not) be able to reach an 855 number by dialing +1 855 and the 7-digit number, paying the normal international toll charges. ( The plus sign means \"\"insert your international access prefix here.\"\" From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes. )"

Yeah, in a world where we want to go fast or go home... I'm asking that question! I have a 1.5hp Marathon inverter motor and Delta VFD ( link to the motor below ). I don't know if its bad to run this motor at too low an RPM. Currently I'm running a pulley at 2 to 1 for added rpm for general milling and its not possible to change pulleys. So if the minimum rpm of the motor is say 300 rpm, that means to get 300 rpm at the spindle I have to run the motor at 150 rpm. Is this bad for the motor ? I suppose it depends on the VFD frequency a bit. Largely I would assume that tapping doesn't require tons of torque but since I'm new to rigid tapping, I don't know enough and want to go cautiously."

"text": "\"Toll-free numbers are telephone numbers with distinct three-digit codes that can be dialed from landlines with no charge to the person placing the call. Such numbers allow callers to reach businesses and/or individuals out of the area without being charged a long-distance fee for the call. Toll-free numbers are particularly common for customer-service calling. Toll-free service has traditionally provided potential customers and others with a free and convenient way to contact businesses. Wireless callers, however, will be charged for the airtime minutes used during a toll-free call unless they have an “unlimited calling” plan. Customers can also send text messages to toll-free numbers, so long as those numbers are “text enabled,” and businesses can send texts in response. Toll-free codes – 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844. Toll-free numbers are numbers that begin with one of the following three-digit codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855 or 844. Although 800, 888, 877, 866, 855 and 844 are all toll-free codes, they are not interchangeable. Dialing a number using a 1-800 prefix would reach a different recipient than dialing that number using a 1-888 prefix."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Technology Electronics Consumer Electronics Telephones Mobile Phones How do you dial a toll-free phone number from Mexico? Flag How do you dial a toll-free phone number from Mexico? Answer by, Linc Mad Confidence votes 41.5KYou may be able to reach a North American (USA, Canada, etc.) toll-free number from Mexico by dialing it as if it were an ordinary geographic number in North America: dial 00 1 and then the ten-digit toll-free number; for example, 00 1 844 555 0123. In a few cases, the owner of a North American toll-free number may have special arrangements for the number to also be toll-free from Mexico, but in most cases you will pay international call charges. If the call does not go through, look on the web for an ordinary geographic number for the company you are trying to contact. The toll-free codes in North America are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844, with 833 and 822 reserved for future toll-free use. Domestic toll-free numbers in Mexico use the prefix 01 800, and international toll-free numbers (Universal International Freephone Numbers, UIFN) use the prefix 00 800. Note that 00 1 800, 01 800, and 00 800 are three completely different codes.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No, Linc Mad How do you dial international phone numbers?"

"text": "Straight Talk adds AT&T LTE support for $45 monthly plan Kevin C. Tofel Sep 13, 2013 - 11:08 AM CST25 Comments Tweet Share Post Straight Talk has added support for AT&T’s LTE network and now sells a compatible SIM card for $6.99 on its site. Pre Paid Phone News spotted the change; up until now, Straight Talk’s service only included HSPA+ network speeds. The company, which buys network access at wholesale pricing and then resells it, charges $45 per month for what it calls “unlimited” voice, texts and data. This development is a big change from when I highlighted Straight Talk last March. Back then, I explained how the service could let you dump AT&T and T-Mobile for a cheaper month-to-month service plan. But the service was limited to a slower HSPA+ network. And although service is advertised as unlimited, some customers have said their service speeds were slowed after 2 to 2.5 GB of monthly data. Still, for certain people, the addition of LTE makes a good deal even better. You’ll need to supply your own phone with support for AT&T’s LTE network — most recent i Phones (s aapl), Androids (s goog), Windows Phones (s msft) and Black Berry (s bbry) devices do. And you’ll want to watch your monthly mobile broadband usage."

Initially introduced as an antagonist, Gaara is a shinobi affiliated with Sunagakure and is the son of Sunagakure's leader, the Fourth Kazekage. He was born as a demon's host as part of his father's intention to have a weapon to restore their village. However, a combination of being ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers, his early inability to control the Tailed Beast, and the notion that his deceased mother called him her curse on the village caused Gaara to become a ruthless killer who believes his own purpose is to kill his enemies. Only after meeting Naruto Uzumaki does Gaara earn a change of perspective, as he eventually becomes Sunagakure's Fifth Kazekage ( 五代目風影 Godaime Kazekage) and gains acceptance by his people. Gaara has appeared in several pieces of Naruto media, including two of the featured films in the series, the third original video animation, and several video games Gaara was created a foil to the series' eponymous character, Naruto Uzumaki, as the two were born through similar circumstances, but develop vastly different personalities due to a troubled upbringing. His designs and name underwent major changes in the making of his final one which also was modified in later arcs to give Gaara a design that is easier to draw. In the Japanese version of the series, Gaara is voiced by Akira Ishida while Liam O'Brien voices him in the English dub. Numerous anime and manga publications have commented on Gaara's character. Multiple series called Naruto's fight against Gaara the high point of the entire series due to their similarities and Gaara's role in the aftermath as he attempts to redeem himself."

As his parents continued to stay close to their childhood friends over the years, Boruto ultimately came to know the various parents' respective kids well. [ 2]On the day that Naruto was to be inaugurated as the Seventh Hokage, his sister Himawari wanted to bring her panda toy to the ceremony, but Boruto, fearing that he would end up carrying it, tried to take it away from her. When the toy's head was ripped off in the ensuing tug-of-war, Himawari awakened her Byakugan and attacked Boruto in her anger, despite his vehement apologies. Naruto, sensing her killing intent, arrived and shielded Boruto, and was knocked out in the process due to the attack landing on one of his chakra points. Fearful of what an attack that could knock-out his father would do to him, Boruto tried to run from Himawari, although she easily located him hiding in a closet."

With Akatsuki going to wait three years to go after Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto decided to create a timeskip for the Naruto series. Fast-forwarding two and half years into the lives of the characters. This guide will examine some of the changes to the series through this period, including costume changes, rank advancements and plot developments. Please note that the anime series was renamed during this period to Naruto: Shippuuden, which continues the storyline and doesn't constitute a new series. Also please note that this guide will only focus on the art of the manga. This will help shows Kishimoto's development as an artist and the way his style has changed over time.

In its most recent history, c. 1800 to 1950, temari was a toy ball made for young children. Previous to that, it seems to have had a colorful past. The Symbol of Perfection In Chinese symbolism, The Flaming Pearl is seen clutched in the claw of the Dragon. The pearl is a symbol of prosperity attained or the egg symbol of the dual forces of nature. In the Chinese New Year’s Parade, the Dragon is tempted along with a brightly decorated ball. At the entrances to buildings in China, there is often a pair of Lions guarding the door. The female lion traditionally has her front paw on a cub."

"text": "Entertainment & Music Comics & Animation Why does Kakashi mask his face? You know Kakashi Hatake...that sensei I just wanna noe the reason he had that mask on his face..4 following 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are many reasons why the author has hinted why Kakashi hides his face. ( this will be as spoiler free as possible). Kakashi is a former ANBU member and it is a requirement for them to always keep their face covered. Also, the hatake name was once disgraced by the actions of his father and it's rumored he wore the mask as a way of hiding who he is because he was ashamed of what his father did. Kakashi gaiden backs this theory, and the latest episode of naruto shippuuden shows hatake wearing his mask underneath his anbu mask. I'm guessing he just got in the habit of wearing it and now keeps it on as a reminder of his ignorance as a younger man. It also looks really cool and I think the author wanted to have a character parallel with Sasuke. Wesley ` · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Kakashi Face Source (s):https://shrink.im/a7WPiturcotte · 2 years ago0 0 Comment Nobody knows what's behind his mask. I mean even as a kid he didn't take it off."

At a young age, B along with several other children were gathered by the Third Raikage and Dodai in order to select a tag partner for A. Out of all the children gathered, B was the only person able to successfully perform the Lightning Release: Double Lariat with A. As such he was given the name \"\"B\"\", and A stated they would be brothers from that day on. [ 2] Since the age of five, B has been best friends with Motoi, whom he always greeted with a fist bump. After A's cousin, the jinchūriki of Gyūki lost control and killed Motoi's father along with seven other ninja on that day, B was chosen as its next jinchūriki. [ 3] Soon afterwards, B suffered from similar prejudices against jinchūriki, not too different from that the villagers of Konohagakure and Sunagakure had against Naruto Uzumaki and Gaara respectively. However, he kept smiling and pushed himself to be the best jinchūriki that he could be, so that his brother wouldn't be hurt politically as the Fourth Raikage.

These different regions on Earth are all called biomes. Continue reading to learn about different types of biomes. Definition of a Biome Biomes are large areas on Earth with similar conditions, such as similar climates and similar living organisms. There are two main categories of biomes. Terrestrial biomes are usually defined by the type of vegetation that is present. The major climatic factors contributing to the vegetation types in these biomes are temperature and precipitation. Aquatic biomes are defined by the type of water they contain. There are many different classification systems used to determine biomes, each resulting in different numbers of biomes."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 50 - An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Printer Friendly Chapter 50 An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Lecture Outline Overview: The Scope of Ecology Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. Concept 50.1 Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment Ecologists ask questions about factors affecting the distribution and abundance of organisms. 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."

"text": "\"Home »Nature Difference Between a Biome & an Ecosystem By Ethan Shaw; Updated March 13, 2018Foundational tenets of ecology, “ecosystem” and “biome” are easily confused and overlap significantly. Nonetheless, they describe their own fundamental categorizations of the Earth’s surface and processes. A biome occupies a particular scale, while ecosystems can be defined on multiple levels of space and time -- folding into one another as perspective broadens to encompass the planet as a whole. Ecosystem Definition An ecosystem is an interacting community of organisms and their physical environments, from soil minerals to topographic formations to weather patterns. The essential function of such a system is to capture and distribute energy and to cycle nutrients. Energy in the form of light and heat flows through ecosystems and in nearly all cases derives from solar radiation captured by green plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Matter, meanwhile, exists in inherently limited quantity on the planet and must therefore be cycled, or reused. Animals require plants to make solar energy available to them in usable form, and plants require animals to cycle nutrients. Ecosystems exist on all scales, from microscopic bacterial communities to the entire Earth -- the global ecosystem being the biosphere. Ecosystem Roles Ecosystem biota -- the living organisms that contribute to the system along with abiotic elements such as minerals and sunlight -- are often categorized based on their method of obtaining energy."

Report abuse Transcript of Explain the forces that drive global circulation patterns an Explain the forces that drive global circulation patterns and how those patterns determine weather and climate. Global climate patterns are driven by a combination of unequal heating of Earth by the Sun, atmospheric convection currents, the rotation of Earth and the Coriolis effect, Earth’s orbit around the Sun on a tilted axis, and ocean currents. The unequal heating of Earth is the driver of atmospheric convection currents. These air circulation patterns are further modified by the deflecting action of the Coriolis effect. The tilt of Earth’s axis of rotation causes seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation as Earth orbits the Sun. Ocean currents are driven by a combination of temperature, gravity, prevailing winds, the Coriolis effect, and the locations of continents. Together, prevailing winds and ocean currents distribute heat and precipitation around the globe. Describe the major terrestrial biomes. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished by a particular combination of average annual temperature and annual precipitation and by plant growth forms that are adapted to these conditions."

"text": "\"Home »Nature Types of Environmental Ecosystems By Amy Harris; Updated March 13, 2018An ecosystem consists of all the living and non-living things in a specific natural setting. Plants, animals, insects, microorganisms, rocks, soil, water and sunlight are major components of many ecosystems. All types of ecosystems fall into one of two categories: terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial ecosystems are land-based, while aquatic are water-based. The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine. The word “biome” may also be used to describe terrestrial ecosystems which extend across a large geographic area, such as tundra. Keep in mind, however, that within any ecosystem, specific features vary widely – for instance, an oceanic ecosystem in the Caribbean Sea will contain vastly different species than an oceanic ecosystem in the Gulf of Alaska. Forest Ecosystems Forest ecosystems are classified according to their climate type as tropical, temperate or boreal. In the tropics, rainforest ecosystems contain more diverse flora and fauna than ecosystems in any other region on earth. In these warm, moisture-laden environments, trees grow tall and foliage is lush and dense, with species inhabiting the forest floor all the way up to the canopy."

( An ecosystem is the community of plants and animals in an area considered together with their environment.) The nature of a biome is determined primarily by climate, including a region's annual average temperature and amount of rainfall. Biomes are often named for the vegetation found within them. They can be classified as terrestrial (land), aquatic (water), or anthropogenic (dominated by humans). Some familiar examples of biomes include tundra, desert, chaparral, and open ocean. The accompanying drawing shows the variety of biomes that can be found along just two lines of longitude on Earth's surface. A number of attempts have been made to classify the world's biomes. One of the best known was proposed by the Russian-born German climatologist Wladimir Koeppen (1846–1940). Some of the biomes described by Koeppen are described below."

Definition of a Biome Biomes are large areas on Earth with similar conditions, such as similar climates and similar living organisms. There are two main categories of biomes. Terrestrial biomes are usually defined by the type of vegetation that is present. The major climatic factors contributing to the vegetation types in these biomes are temperature and precipitation. Aquatic biomes are defined by the type of water they contain. There are many different classification systems used to determine biomes, each resulting in different numbers of biomes."

The earths curved shape causes the tropics (regions between 23.5N and 23.5S) most directly. Higher latitudes mean the sunlight strikes the earth and an oblique angle and light energy is more diffuse on earths surface.10Explain the global air circulation High temps in the tropics evaporate water and cause warm, wet air masses to rise and flow tower the poles. They cool and create abundant precipitation in tropical regions. The then dry air masses descend toward earth and absorb moisture, creating an arid climate among the deserts. Some of the air flows toward the poles and air masses again rise and release precipitation around 60N and 60S. The cold dry rising air flows back to the poles and then back to the equator, absorbing moisture and creating a cold climate in the polar regions.11Describe the earth's wind patterns.air flowing close to the surface creates predictable global wind patterns; land near the equator moves faster than the poles and deflects winds, creating easterly and westerly wind flow. Cooling trade winds blow from east to west in tropics, and prevailing westerlies blow from west to east in temperate zones.12What do ecologists do?observe nature, generate hypotheses, manipulate environmental variables, and observe outcomes.13Define CLIMATEthe long term prevailing weather conditions in a given area. the four components of climate are temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind.14What is the most significant influence on the distribution of organisms on land and in the oceans?"

It is bisected by the equator so that the seasons are six months out of phase north and south of it. There are tropical forests on the west side as well as in the center of the continent. In roughly concentric rings out from the forest, there are progressively drier vegetation types from woodland, savanna, and grassland to desert. There are several major rivers flowing north, west, and east. Africa has also been the center of evolution of many large mammal groups. It has a high diversity of birds and insects. It is also the origin of the human species, and humans have influenced and modified the landscape for hundreds of thousands of years. Humans evolved there over the past four million years. The environment and the biomes that result from it in turn shaped the evolution of humans."

There are both terrestrial biomes, such as grasslands and tropical rain forests, and aquatic biomes, such as estuaries. A biome may also be defined as an extensive ecosystem ( ecological unit of living organisms and their abiotic environment) spread over a wide geographic area, or as a grouping of many ecosystems that share similar environmental features and communities (organisms living together in a certain area). Collectively, biomes comprise the biosphere, which is the thin area of the earth's surface where all organisms live. Biomes are a dynamic, rather than static, entity, and have changed throughout geological history. More recently, biomes have been impacted by human activity. Some of these impacts, such as deforestation, have caused significant environmental challenges. It is important that people understand their local, regional, and global impacts and act responsibly toward the environment, such that future generations can enjoy the integrity and diversity of nature.

Provided by the Sea Wi FS Project, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and ORBIMAGE. Biosphere is historically and most commonly defined as that part of the Earth in which living organisms exist. As such, it is viewed as a place or supporting stratum that overlaps with the inner portion of the atmosphere, the upper part of the geosphere, and almost all of the hydrosphere (Mayhew 2004; Margulis and Sagan 2002). Another concept of the biosphere is as simply \"\"life on earth,\"\" in other words, the total of all living things on earth (Knight and Schlager 2002). As such, the biosphere is one of four mutually exclusive spheres, the others being the atmosphere, geosphere (or lithosphere), and hydrosphere. Yet, another definition of biosphere includes both the living organisms and their environment (Mc Graw-Hill 2005). Viewed as a place, the biosphere takes up a relatively small portion of the earth, perhaps with the overall dimensions of a hollow sphere about twenty-three kilometers wide, or about 0.0007 percent of the volume of the plant (6371 kilometer radius) (Margulis and Sagan 2002). Viewed as limited to only the living organisms, the biosphere occupies about 0.00008 percent of the mass of the earth (Knight and Schlager 2002). The biosphere harmoniously interrelates with the other major spheres of the earth (lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere), and as small as the biosphere is, living organisms greatly impact each of these spheres, as seen in the various biogeochemical cycles (oxygen cycle, water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, etc.)."

"text": "Biodiversity, also called biological diversity, the variety of life found in a place on Earth or, often, the total variety of life on Earth. A common measure of this variety, called species richness, is the count of species in an area. Colombia and Kenya, for example, each have more than 1,000 breeding species of birds, whereas the forests of Great Britain and of eastern North America are home to fewer than 200. A coral reef off northern Australia may have 500 species of fish, while the rocky shoreline of Japan may be home to only 100 species. Such numbers capture some of the differences between places—the tropics, for example, have more biodiversity than temperate regions—but raw species count is not the only measure of diversity.

Plants, animals, insects, microorganisms, rocks, soil, water and sunlight are major components of many ecosystems. All types of ecosystems fall into one of two categories: terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial ecosystems are land-based, while aquatic are water-based. The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine. The word “biome” may also be used to describe terrestrial ecosystems which extend across a large geographic area, such as tundra. Keep in mind, however, that within any ecosystem, specific features vary widely – for instance, an oceanic ecosystem in the Caribbean Sea will contain vastly different species than an oceanic ecosystem in the Gulf of Alaska. Forest Ecosystems Forest ecosystems are classified according to their climate type as tropical, temperate or boreal. In the tropics, rainforest ecosystems contain more diverse flora and fauna than ecosystems in any other region on earth. In these warm, moisture-laden environments, trees grow tall and foliage is lush and dense, with species inhabiting the forest floor all the way up to the canopy."

The rocky environment and soils also have a large effect. An environment that is dry will be home to species that can conserve water. These organisms are also often adapted to warmer temperatures and poor soil conditions. Organisms living in wet areas may have adaptations for surviving where root systems are constantly under water. The organisms that are best adapted to live in a particular environment will eventually form a stable community where the biodiversity does not change much over time. These stable communities are called climax communities. Scientists group ecosystems that have similar climax communities into broad categories of organization called biomes. A biome is, simply put, a large grouping of ecosystems that share the same kinds of climax communities. Since approximately 75% of Earth's surface is covered by water, it is possible to describe biomes that exist in salty water or in fresh water."

Biodiversity and climate are the primary factors in categorizing the various biomes, be they terrestrial or aquatic. Read on to find out more about these distinct ecosystems. A biome is an ecosystem largely characterized by three vital factors: (1) climate (2) flora and (3) fauna. The interplay of these three results in distinct regions or areas on land and in water. Biomes that are found on land are called terrestrial biomes, while those that are found in water are termed as aquatic biomes. Under each of these two major categories are the various biomes that shall be enumerated below. Let us take a look at these biomes' plant life and climate. Category 1) Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Perched atop the globe is the tundra--the coldest biome on earth. Tundras have very simple vegetation that are barely supported by the ground's poor nutrition."

The taiga is the world's largest biome apart from the oceans. In North America it covers most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States (northern Minnesota through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Upstate New York and northern New England ), where it is known as the Northwoods or \"\"North woods\"\". [ 2] In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Norway, some of the Scottish Highlands, some lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific Ocean (including much of Siberia ), and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan (on the island of Hokkaidō ). However, the main tree species, the length of the growing season and summer temperatures vary. For example, the taiga of North America mostly consists of spruces; Scandinavian and Finnish taiga consists of a mix of spruce, pines and birch; Russian taiga has spruces, pines and larches depending on the region, while the Eastern Siberian taiga is a vast larch forest. A different use of the term taiga is often encountered in the English language, with \"\"boreal forest\"\" used in the United States and Canada to refer to only the more southerly part of the biome, while \"\"taiga\"\" is used to describe the more barren areas of the northernmost part of the biome approaching the tree line and the tundra biome. Hoffman (1958) discusses the origin of this differential use in North America and why it is an inappropriate differentiation of the Russian term."

If you travel around the world, you can visit dry deserts with lots of cacti, the cold arctic with little plant life, or humid tropical rainforests. These different regions on Earth are all called biomes. Continue reading to learn about different types of biomes. Definition of a Biome Biomes are large areas on Earth with similar conditions, such as similar climates and similar living organisms. There are two main categories of biomes. Terrestrial biomes are usually defined by the type of vegetation that is present. The major climatic factors contributing to the vegetation types in these biomes are temperature and precipitation. Aquatic biomes are defined by the type of water they contain. There are many different classification systems used to determine biomes, each resulting in different numbers of biomes."

"text": "Biomes are regions of the world with a similar climate – the amount of rainfall and temperature. The climate affects which plants will grow and in turn which animals (and other living things) can make their living there. Every community of living things is adapted for survival in the biome in which it lives. A community is many different kinds of organisms living together in one habitat. The type of soil affects a biome to a lesser degree, but still plays a role. There are both terrestrial biomes (land) and aquatic biomes (water) on Earth. Terrestrial biomes make up less than 30% of the Earth's surface. The rest are aquatic biomes. The climate is not the same every day. It is a general weather pattern for a region over time."

"text": "Both abiotic and biotic factors determine both where an organism can live and how much a population can grow. A limiting factor is a factor that restricts the size of a population from reaching its full potential. The amount of food & water in a habitat is an example of a limiting factor. Other factors include geographical space, predation, climate, competition (for prey, food, mates) etc. An example of a limiting factor is sunlight in the rainforest, where growth is limited to all plants in the understory unless more light becomes available. Or perhaps in a deciduous forest, there are not enough rabbits to support the growth of more foxes. All species within an ecosystem will experience some kind of limiting factors to prevent continuous and exponential growth. ( Even humans) Environmental changes (i.e drought, famine, human destruction) results in decreased rates of physiological processes, lowering the potential for survival, growth, or reproduction. Species will undergo Acclimatization to adjust to the new limiting factors through changing their behavior or physiology. Limiting Factors: Light (exposure to light can change climate & growth of plants)Heat (will determine the weather/climate of an ecosystem)Mechanical Support (any features (i.e waterfalls, valleys, hills) which can either facilitate or inhibit a species survival Organic Matter (this will determine soil nutrition and therefore plant growth)Nutrients (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorous etc.)"

Schiavo's husband and legal guardian argued that Schiavo would not have wanted prolonged artificial life support without the prospect of recovery, and elected to remove her feeding tube. Schiavo's parents disputed her husband's assertions and challenged Schiavo's medical diagnosis, arguing in favor of continuing artificial nutrition and hydration. [ 1] [2] The highly publicized and prolonged series of legal challenges presented by her parents, which ultimately involved state and federal politicians up to the level of President George W. Bush, caused a seven-year delay before Schiavo's feeding tube was ultimately removed. On February 25, 1990, at age 26, Schiavo sustained a cardiac arrest at her home in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was successfully resuscitated, but had massive brain damage due to lack of oxygen to her brain and was left comatose. After two and a half months without improvement, her diagnosis was changed to that of a persistent vegetative state. For the next two years, doctors attempted speech and physical therapy and other experimental therapy, hoping to return her to a state of awareness, without success. In 1998, Schiavo's husband, Michael, petitioned the Sixth Circuit Court of Florida to remove her feeding tube pursuant to Florida law.

Can a person's ethnicity be derived if you have a surname/family name and country? If not, what's the minimum amount of information needed to derive ethnicity? Answer: N ames are related to ethnicity, since names take on the character of the language, region and group identity, as well as the history of families and social groups. Thus we commonly associate various names with certain ethnicities or their histories. This means that a surname is a rough clue to a part of someone's ethnicity. And note, detribalized people are harder to peg down, like English-speaking Canadians and US citizens. What tribe or ethnicity (or ethnicities) are they? Changing Streams But a name, surname or first name, is only one clue among many and can be misleading, because of changes experienced by a family or larger human group and their identity through history.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search States (colored red) in which Stop and Identify statutes were in effect as of February 20, 2013. \"\" Stop and identify\"\" statutes are statutory laws in the United States that authorize police [1] to legally obtain the identification of someone whom they reasonably suspect of having committed a crime. If there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, is being committed, or is about to be committed, an individual is not required to provide identification, even in \"\"Stop and ID\"\" states. In the case of Utah v. Strieff (2016), the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that an officer's stop of Edward Strieff and his demand for identification from Strieff was unlawful under Utah state law, but that the evidence collected pursuant to the stop was admissible due to the determination that Strieff was subject to a pre-existing arrest warrant. Therefore, the pre-existing warrant \"\"attenuated\"\" the unlawful stop-and-identify. The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1 (1968) established that it is constitutionally permissible for police to temporarily detain a person based on an articulable reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, and to conduct a search for weapons based on a reasonable belief that the person is armed. The question whether it is constitutionally permissible for the police to demand that a detainee provide his or her name was considered by the U. S. Supreme Court in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U. S. 177 (2004), which held that the name disclosure did not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. The Hiibel Court also held that, because Hiibel had no reasonable belief that his name would be used to incriminate him, the name disclosure did not violate the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination; however, the Court left open the possibility that Fifth Amendment right might apply in situations where there was a reasonable belief that giving a name could be incriminating. [ 2] The Court accepted the Nevada supreme court interpretation of the Nevada statute that a detained person could satisfy the Nevada law by simply stating his name."

"text": "\"Polls: Who is August W. Booth, and what does his name mean? Posted on February 23, 2012 | 29 Comments Update 9/20/12: This post contains polls taken before the show revealed the identity of the mysterious stranger August W. Booth. Now we know who he is — see the recap for episode 20, The Stranger. Even though we now know August’s fairytale identity, there hasn’t yet been any explanation of what the name “August W. Booth” itself actually means. “ August Wayne Booth” does anagram to “Snow, a tough beauty,” for whatever that is worth. At this point, I think the name is most likely a nod to Wayne Booth (creator of the term “unreliable narrator”), as a reference to the lies that August has told. But if so, what does “August” stand for? Original post below: These four polls are about August W. Booth, aka the Mysterious Stranger, aka the guy in the black leather jacket. The choices in the polls come from some of the theories suggested in previous comment sections, plus a few more I added. I tried to give credit, where I could, to the first person who posted each theory."

"text": "\"Sal Paradise The narrator and protagonist of the story, Sal Paradise is a writer who wishes to travel the American continent to seek inspiration for his novels. At first a reserved, shy character, Sal is attracted to the wild character of Dean Moriarty, when they first meet in New York in 1947. Sal sees in Dean the wild, brave persona that he had always wished to have himself, and their friendship would begin three years of relentless traveling on the road all around the country. Sal clearly believes Dean is a hero in the story. Sal is not judgmental towards Dean unlike the rest of the novel's characters. It is because Sal idolizes Dean that he has the heart to forgive Dean's faults and overlook them. Sal envies the madness in others but is unable to replicate it fully in himself, unless he is under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or starvation, and Sal sees this enviable madness in Dean. Sal also loves Terry's brother, Rickey, because he lives in a state of tomorrow, feels no guilt with his poor situation and gets drunk all day. Yet Sal can only withstand living with Rickey for two days until he realizes that he simply can't live in the same way. Sal visits many cities and measures everything in distance, not time."

"text": "10 of the Most Controversial Fashion Photographers Ever Zoe Burrell / January 31, 2017 / MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY /0 Comments Developed in the mid-1800s for the sole purpose of displaying and selling clothing and accessories, fashion photography has since morphed into a complex genre of photo-taking that tells a story; reflecting a distinct lifestyle and mood via a photographer’s manipulation of subject (s), location and props. But for everyphotographer who revels in the beauty of gloss and glamour and stakes themselves firmly in the realm of commercially acceptable photography, there lies an artist who defies the industry’s prevailing codes and motifs; pushing the limits between fashion, art and shock value. While many of these photographers have been criticised for taking their vision to a point where art and fashion are almost indistinguishable from pornography and exploitation, other critics laud their daring efforts. The industry is filled with these innovative image-takers, so we’ve compiled a list of ten photographers who we feel have withstood the test of time in transfiguring the role of fashion advertising through arresting social commentary and thought-provoking visuals. Nobuyoshi Araki. Photo credit: Underground-england1. Mert & Marcus Mert and Marcus is the working name of two fashion photographers (Mert Alaş and Marcus Piggott) who work together on a collaborative basis. Some say their work and style is influenced by the photographer Guy Bourdin and have pioneered the use of digital manipulation within their field. Photo credit: Mert and Marcus The team has worked for such magazines such as Vogue USA, Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, Interview Magazine, The Love Magazine, W Magazine, Pop Magazine, Numéro and Arena Homme Plus. Some of their major clients are fashion labels such as Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Kenzo and Miu Miu."

BY Stacy Conradt September 30, 2011Good news, dog lovers and Potterheads: the dog that played Sirius Black’s animal form in the HP movies is up for adoption. The German Shepherd’s owner is a stuntman who feels he’s traveling too much to take proper care of the dog, whose name is actually Shadowberry, not Padfoot. I’m sure the 10-year-old Berry will have no problems finding an owner to take care of him in his twilight years, but what happened to some of the other famous dogs from movie history?1. Lassie from seven Lassie films. The first animal actor to play the iconic collie was actually a male dog named Pal. Pal portrayed Lassie in Lassie Come Home, plus six other movies and two television pilots. Though the show was picked up, Pal was ready to retire after 11 years in the industry. His three-year-old son, Lassie Jr., stepped in to pick up the family business. From his retirement in 1954 to his death in 1958, Pal lived with his trainer, Rudd Weatherwax."

Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone.

Ohio. The case revolves on an arrest made in 1963 (It took a while for the case to make its way up to the SCOTUS) by Cleveland Police Detective Martin Mc Fadden. Mc Fadden saw two men loitering on a street corner. From time to time, one of the men would walk over to the window of a business, look inside, then walk back and rejoin the other man. The men were wearing long coats, although the weather was warm. Mc Fadden surmised, based on his considerable police experience (he was especially well-known for spotting and arresting pickpockets), that the two men were casing the business in order to rob it. They were looking in the window to see how many customers there were in the business, and the coats were to conceal their firearms. Mc Fadden accosted the men, one of whom was John Terry, and searched them for weapons. He found they were carrying guns, and neither had a permit to doing so."

This tech made its debut in 2016, promising a blanket of wireless connectivity that fills every inch of a home or office. These systems are typically sold in kits of two or more identical devices that can be spread out vertically and horizontally to create a connected web of coverage. We’ve taken a close look at several solutions over the last several months, and now we have the Eero system in-house. This system hit the market in February of 2016, selling as a three-pack for $400, a two-pack for $300, and as a single unit for $200. That may seem rather expensive, but feature-packed, high-performance routers can cost up to $300 and broadcast from only a single point in the home or office. Eero’s initial setup focuses on simplicity The Eero kit we received was the three-pack shipped in a rectangular box. After opening the lid, the unit on the left sported a pull-off tab printed with the word “Start.” We lifted the unit out of the box to see a cardboard insert with instructions to download the Eero app from Google Play or Apple’s App Store."

My laptop which I can roam around the house with never goes lower than -60 and never higher than -51.

Miller Last updated: April 9, 2018 104 Comments Update to this post: I have decided to replace my Comcast modem with my own modem + router, an Arris DOCSIS 3.0 SB6190 cable modem (you may also want to check out the Motorola MBB7420 model ). I paired it with the TP-Link Wireless-N router . This setup pays for itself in less than a year, and then it’s free for life!If you have Comcast (“XFinity” these days) high-speed internet, this post will instruct you on three ways to get rid of your router rental fee. It’s also an tale of how Comcast has increased their gateway rental fee to a whopping $11 per month over the last few years to turn it into a nice little secondary revenue stream. Even if you just have a long-seeded disdain for Comcast or other greedy corporate giants, like I do, you will enjoy this story…If you don’t have Comcast and have another Internet service provider, the same advice may also apply. The Comcast XFinity Modem Rental Fee Saga: How I Found Three Ways to Get Rid of the Fee When I first moved to my existing home, I signed up for Comcast high-speed Internet, with wireless networking (wifi). As part of the installation, Comcast put in a Netgear cable modem that also dubbed as a wifi router. I didn’t know it at the time of installation, but on my first bill, I noticed that Comcast started charging me $3 to rent this modem. That’s right – for the privilege of paying them $40 a month for internet service, I also had to pay $3 per month to rent the equipment to do it (that price has skyrocketed to $11 per month today). I was kind of irritated, so I started searching around for Comcast supported modems & routers."

You're barely topping 25Mbps, Netflix doesn't work upstairs and by 7p.m., no one seems to be able to stream anything at all. It’s quite possible to boost your Wi-Fi speed yourself, although the solution could be as simple as moving your router or as persnickety as switching Wi-Fi frequencies. “The distance between the router and connecting devices, as well as the number of walls and floors in between, make a big difference,” says Spencer Behroozi, vice president of product management at modem manufacturer Actiontec. While a Wi-Fi signal can travel hundreds of feet in an unobstructed space, walls and floors can cut that distance by half or more. Your connection speed can also be influenced by your router—how old it is, how good its processor and antenna are, how good it is at picking up wireless signals and how many devices are using it. In some cases, your connection speed may even come down to your service provider's preference for certain kinds of traffic. Behroozi says service providers prioritize voice traffic first, then their own video services. What actions can you take to increase your Wi-Fi performance and get your streaming speed back up to par?1. Check the router The Old Faithful of personal technology issues is often your best bet."

Consider a Wi-Fi hotspot, a device that bathes you in a personal cloud of wireless data, perfect for on-the-go laptop and tablet users. So, how do mobile Wi-Fi hotspots work, what are their drawbacks, and how much do they cost? Read on for answers to those questions, and more. What exactly is a mobile wi-fi hotspot, anyway? Think of it as a tiny, battery-powered Wi-Fi base station that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Generally speaking, mobile wi-fi hotspots come in two forms: either built into a smartphone, like an i Phone or an Android phone, or as a standalone portable gadget, often no larger than a small stack of credit cards. Indeed, if you own a relatively new i Phone or Android handset, you probably already have a hotspot in your pocket. Not only do most newer i Phone and Android phones comes with built-in hotspots, you can also get a portable standalone hotspot, like this one. How do mobile Wi-Fi hotspots work?"

"text": "\"The ancient weapons of China have spawned their own brilliant and splendid history. As early as Palaeolithic times, the Chinese had divined how to make stone implements and bows and arrows that could not only be used for fishing and primordial farming but could also serve as weapons in the interminable clan wars. In fact, as a result of the rapid growth of clan warfare in the late Neolithic period tools originally used for farming were modified to become weapons on the battlefield. Weapons soon developed in their own right. Not long after, the ancient Chinese created and mastered the art of bronze smelting, which in turn nurtured a flourishing weapon technology that was the envy of the world during the Shang and Zhou periods. During the Spring & Autumn period, China developed steel and iron-made weaponry, and as the raw iron castings technique was widely practiced - and the ‘folded hundred times steel’ casting method was on the rise, along with various polishing techniques for steel - Chinese steel weapons were very much on the ascendant. Generally speaking, the invention of gunpowder by China in the 8th century introduced a new era in weapons, as China took the lead in manufacturing firearms. The Origin of Weapons Prior to the Qin and Han dynasty, weapons were classified as bing 兵 (arms), xie 械 (tools), qi 器 (utensils), bing jia 兵甲 (armour), bing zhang 兵杖 (staves), etc. The origins of the weapon can be traced back to Zhiyu Palaeolithic times – some 100,000 to 20,000 years ago - at which time pre-historic weapons were discovered in Shuo County in Shanxi province in 1963. The star attraction from the excavation was the shi zu 石鏃 (stone arrowhead)."

It is customary to refer to events in Chinese history according to the dynasty to which the period's ancient rulers belonged. This isn't just true of ancient history, since the last dynasty, the Qing, ended in the 20th century. Nor is this true just of China. Ancient Egypt is another long-lived society for which we use dynasties (and kingdoms) to date events. The first Chinese dynasty was the Xia.

The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history. The military control of China by the royal house, surnamed Ji ( Chinese: 姬; pinyin: Jī [tɕí] ), lasted initially from 1046 until 771 BC for a period known as the Western Zhou and the political sphere of influence it created continued well into Eastern Zhou for another 500 years. During the Zhou Dynasty, centralized power decreased throughout the Spring and Autumn period until the Warring States period in the last two centuries of the Zhou Dynasty. In this period, the Zhou court had little control over its constituent states that were at war with each other until the Qin state consolidated power and formed the Qin dynasty in 221 BC. The Zhou Dynasty had formally collapsed only 35 years earlier, although the dynasty had had only nominal power at that point."

The three rulers - Fuxi, Nüwa, and Shennong - each are credited with contributing to the early people's lifestyles: Fuxi - traditional reign began in 2852 B. C. Introduced domestication of animals and founded the basic social structure of family life. Nüwa - wife of Fuxi. She is also credited for his accomplishments. Shennong - divine farmer who taught agriculture to the settled peoples. Following this period, five successors introduced the basic aspects of culture: Huangdi, or the Yellow Emperor - traditional reign lasted from 2698 B. C. - 2599 B. C. As with the aforementioned rulers, his existence may be mythical as well; the period of his reign occurred about one millennium before Chinese history was recorded. Nevertheless, he has been regarded as the ancestor of all Han Chinese - the largest ethnic nationality in all of China. Some of his achievements include the institution of Chinese characters (thus leading to literacy), the development of silk (from silkworms), and the establishment of the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine.

The name `China’ comes from the Sanskrit Cina (derived from the name of the Chinese Qin Dynasty, pronounced `Chin’) which was translated as `Cin’ by the Persians and seems to have become popularized through trade along the Silk Road from China to the rest of the world. The Romans and the Greeks knew the country as `Seres’, “the land where silk comes from”. The name `China’ does not appear in print in the west until 1516 CE in Barbosa’s journals narrating his travels in the east (though the Europeans had long known of China through trade via the Silk Road). Marco Polo, the famous explorer who familiarized China to Europe in the 13th century CE, referred to the land as `Cathay’. In Mandarin Chinese, the country is known as `Zhongguo” meaning `central state’ or `middle empire ’. Pre-History Well before the advent of recognizable civilization in the region, the land was occupied by hominids. Peking Man, a skull fossil discovered in 1927 CE near Beijing, lived in the area between 700,000 to 200,000 years ago and Yuanmou Man, whose remains were found in Yuanmou in 1965 CE, inhabited the land 1.7 million years ago. Evidence uncovered with these finds shows that these early inhabitants knew how to fashion stone tools and use fire. While it is commonly accepted that human beings originated in Africa and then migrated to other points around the globe, China’s paleoanthropologists “support the theory of `regional evolution’ of the origin of man” (China.org) which claims an independent basis for the birth of mankind. “"

Update Cancel Answer Wiki3 Answers Anonymous Answered Feb 8, 2016When the Sui Dynasty collapsed, a large portion of China was under control of various warlords and rebels. Tang was only one of them. Here is a map showing the situation of the year when Sui ended : Unfortunately it is in Chinese, but you could still see how many different warlords (peasant uprisings are shown in green, and other rebel armies are shown in red and pink) there were in early 618. According to the history records, there were more than 120 different rebellions and warlords at that time. Among them, the three peasant forces were the strongest ones: Wa-Gang Army led by Li Mi (shown in green block), Yangtze-Huai Rivers Army led by Du Fuwei (shown in light blue block) and Hebei Army led by Dou Jiande (shown in pink block). Those forces fought against Sui's troops more separately than cooperatively. Once the Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yuwen Huaji, those rebels and uprising forces started to fight against each other trying to re-unify the country and establish a new dynasty. After one year or two, many weaker forces were put down by stronger ones. In late 618, only 15 strongest warlords remained."

This dynasty was defined by four aspects; the location, technological advancements, society, and religion. This civilization was in the Huang He River Valley. Consequently, the flooding of the river soon led to agricultural and irrigation technology. The river also caused the society and government to be strengthened. Walled cities began to form with extravagant upper classes and rulers. With modernization came religion; oracle bones and ancestor worship became a large part of the Shang culture. We also know that the Shang Dynasty was extremely advanced in their craftsmanship of bronze, jade, ceramic, and bone. The empire was molded by the Huang He River, which brought technology and cities, then religion and intellectual advancements."

The law became effective in October 2000 and it has been incorporated into the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the U. S. Code). This landmark legislation updated U. S. copyright law to meet the demands of the Digital Age and to conform U. S. law to the requirements of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and treaties that the U. S. signed in 1996. Despite the work of libraries and other partners, dedicated to preserving the traditional balance in copyright law between protecting information and affording access to it, the DMCA tilts strongly in favor of copyright holders. In addition to creating new rules for digital materials, the DMCA mandates several important studies and reports to be conducted by the U. S. Copyright Office and sets the time frames for their completion. Divided in to five \"\"titles,\"\" the DMCA is a complex act that addresses a number of issues that are of concern to libraries. Among its many provision, the Act:imposes rules prohibiting the circumvention of technological protection measuressets limitations on copyright infringement liability for online service providers (OSPs)expands an existing exemption for making copies of computer programsprovides a significant updating of the rules and procedures regarding archival preservationmandates a study of distance education activities in networked environmentsmandates a study of the effects of anti-circumvention protection rules on the \"\"first sale\"\" doctrineback to top DMCA and Libraries The following summarizes the key sections of the DMCA that relate to libraries. For more in-depth analysis of the DMCA and its impact on libraries: Title I: New Prohibitions On Circumvention Of Protection Technologies: Prohibits the \"\"circumvention\"\" of any effective \"\"technological protection measure\"\" (e.g., a password or form of encryption) used by a copyright holder to restrict access to its material Prohibits the manufacture of any device, or the offering of any service, primarily designed to defeat an effective \"\"technological protection measure\"\"Defers the effective date of these prohibitions for two years and 18 months, respectively Requires that the Librarian of Congress issue a three-year waiver from the anti-circumvention prohibition when there is evidence that the new law adversely affects or may adversely affect \"\"fair use\"\" and other non-infringing uses of any class of work Expressly states that many valuable activities based on the \"\"fair use\"\" doctrine (including reverse engineering, security testing, privacy protection and encryption research) will not constitute illegal \"\"anti-circumvention\"\"Makes no change to the \"\"fair use\"\" doctrine or to other information user privileges and rights Title II: Limitations On Online Service Provider Liability Exempts any OSP or carrier of digital information (including libraries) from copyright liability because of the content of a transmission made by a user of the provider's or carrier's system (e.g., the user of a library computer system)Establishes a mechanism for a provider to avoid copyright infringement liability due to the storage of infringing information on an OSP's own computer system, or the use of \"\"information location tools\"\" and hyperlinks, if the provider acts \"\"expeditiously to remove or disable access to\"\" infringing material identified in a formal notice by the copyright holder Title IV: Digital Preservation This section updates the current preservation provision of the Copyright Act (Sec. 108) to:expressly permit authorized institutions to make up to three, digital preservation copies of an eligible copyrighted workelectronically \"\"loan\"\" those copies to other qualifying institutionspermit preservation, including by digital means, when the existing format in which the work has been stored becomes obsoleteback to top DMCA Mandates The DMCA directed the U.

The potential for Internet users to infringe copyrights online could expose service providers to claims of secondary copyright liability, such as contributory and vicarious copyright infringement. Concerned about potentially significant legal vulnerability of service providers, Congress passed the \"\"Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act,\"\" Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, which created limitations on the liability of OSPs and ISPs for copyright infringement arising from their users ' activities on their digital networks.

It runs into legal issues because it may make it too easy for users to stream copyrighted content for free.• Certain Kodi add-ons — the ones that let users stream TV, MOVIES, & SPORTS without pricey subscriptions– may violate copyright laws in the US, as well as abroad.• Users in the US, Canada, UK, and other locations are at risk of copyright infringement (aka illegal streaming or piracy) if they use these add-ons.• Many Kodi users get hit with copyright infringement by their ISP.• Other copyright watchdogs, media corporations, and government agencies look for Kodi users engaged in illegal streaming by tracking and monitoring individuals’ online activity.• Kodi has other safety and security issues that leave users vulnerable to hackers.• It’s therefore important to STAY SECURE AND ANONYMOUS on Kodi. The best way is to use Kodi with a VPN."

"text": "Edit Article How to Copy a Protected DVDToday DVDs are used for a variety of media. They can hold movie files, music files, video game files and even computer programs. It is always a good idea to have multiple back-up files of any digital file, but many of the DVDs sold today are copyright protected. Here you will find information on how to burn a copyrighted DVD. Steps1 Review that you have the right equipment. You will need a computer or laptop computer that has a DVD ripper/burner. If you do not have a DVD ripper, portable external DVD players are available at most electronic stores.2 Check that you have enough free memory on your computer to transfer files. You will need to transfer the files you wish to burn onto your hard drive initially, and so you should have at least enough space to store the file. If your computer hard drive does not have enough space, you can clean up your hard drive by deleting old files, copying them onto another memory device, or defragmenting your hard drive.3 Purchase blank DVD-Rs. This can be done at any electronic store.4 Purchase decryption software."

"text": "\"Digging in Spotify's cache – can you get MP3s out of it? Share Since Spotify arrived on the digital music scene last October, people have been flabbergasted by how fast it works. How could it possibly be able to search and index millions of files and then deliver you the music stream quicker than searching your own MP3 collection? The answer is three-fold. A peer-to-peer infrastructure, fantastic coding, and a massive cache. The cache is the most interesting bit. By default, the program uses up to 10% of your hard drive for storing the music that it downloads. You can have a poke around in it by going to C: Users USERNAMEApp Data Local Spotify Storage on Vista, or the equivalent directory for other operating systems. The files residing within are the music that plays when you double-click a track name in the software. Stuff you play gets saved to this directory, so that when you play it in the future, there’s a local copy and it can find it faster."

"text": "\"Executive Summary Digital Millennium Copyright Act Section 104 Report INTRODUCTIONThe Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) was the foundation of an effort by Congress to implement United States treaty obligations and to move the nation's copyright law into the digital age. But as Congress recognized, the only thing that remains constant is change. The enactment of the DMCA was only the beginning of an ongoing evaluation by Congress on the relationship between technological change and U. S. copyright law. This Report of the Register of Copyrights was mandated in the DMCA to assist Congress in that continuing process. Our mandate was to evaluate \"\"the effects of the amendments made by [title I of the DMCA] and the development of electronic commerce and associated technology on the operation of sections 109 and 117 of title17, United States Code; and the relationship between existing and emergent technology and the operation of sections 109 and 117. . . .\"\" Specifically, this Report focuses on three proposals that were put forward during our consultations with the public: creation of a \"\"digital first sale doctrine;\"\" creation of an exemption for the making of certain temporary incidental copies; and the expansion of the archival copying exemption for computer programs in section 117 of the Act. Part I of this Report describes the circumstances leading up to the enactment of the DMCA and the genesis of this study. Part I also examines the historical basis of sections 109 and 117 of the Act. Part II discusses the wide range of views expressed in the public comments and testimony. This input from the public, academia, libraries, copyright organizations and copyright owners formed the core information considered by the Office in its evaluation and recommendations."

OCILLA was passed as a part of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and is sometimes referred to as the \"\" Safe Harbor \"\" provision or as \"\"DMCA 512\"\" because it added Section 512 to Title 17 of the United States Code.

"text": "The rule of law requires that laws be adopted in accordance with established procedures, that they be made known to the public, and that they be enforced consistently and even-handedly. The rule of law is intended to ensure that a government exercises its authority fairly, and it is crucial to securing liberty and justice for the people of any nation. No country is perfect in this respect, but overall and as compared to other countries, the United States conforms to the rule of law. In America, those accused of breaking the law have the right to fair, speedy trials, and convicted criminals are protected by rules intended to ensure that they are treated humanely. Civil courts exist to remedy breaches of administrative and civil law and to enforce private contracts, and courts are generally considered fair and impartial (judges tend to fare better in public opinion polls than do members of Congress). Both the federal and state constitutions protect property rights. Federal law protects women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other historically oppressed groups from governmental discrimination and in some cases from discrimination by private actors as well. U. S. law is derived from four sources: the Constitution, statutes passed by legislative bodies, administrative decisions by executive agencies, and common law based on the English legal tradition. The United States also divides the responsibility for enforcing the law among the federal, state, and local governments. The U. S. Constitution is the “supreme law of the land” and establishes the authority of the federal Congress and the president to make laws and treaties."

Let Us Help You What is Computer Crime Law? Computer crime law deals with the broad range of criminal offenses committed using a computer or similar electronic device. Nearly all of these crimes are perpetrated online. The internet provides a degree of anonymity to offenders, as well as potential access to personal, business, and government data. Many computer crimes are committed as a means of stealing money or valuable information, although financial gain is not always the objective. In fact, some of the most notorious incidents of computer crime involved hackers seeking “bragging rights” by overcoming government or corporate cyber security measures. Laws concerning computer crimes have been enacted at the state and federal levels. In 1986, Congress passed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). This law has been amended and expanded as internet technology has advanced, and it continues to form the basis for federal prosecutions of computer-related criminal activities."

Original Scope of Copyright. The Act applies to nearly all forms of captured content, including traditional works such as books, photographs, architectural drawings, music, drama and sculpture. Expanded Scope of Copyright. The copyright laws have adapted to advancing technology by expanding the scope of protected works to include such things as video, motion pictures, electronic media, software, multimedia works and databases."

"text": "Copyright & the First Amendment Posted on August 5, 2004 by David L. Hudson Jr. The Copyright Clause and the First Amendment foster creativity and freedom of expression. Ideally, these two parts of the Constitution work hand in hand to ensure greater artistic, technological and scientific advancement. But oftentimes, particularly in the age of the Internet, copyright and the First Amendment collide. The Copyright Clause — Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution — reads: “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries. ”The First Amendment, the first 45 words of the Bill of Rights, provides that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.” The question becomes how to balance these two legal areas. Some inherent degree of tension exists between the First Amendment and copyright. Copyright allows creators of expressive conduct to control the flow of certain information and expression, while the First Amendment ensures the free flow of information and expression. One purpose of copyright law is to provide protection for the creator of an expressive work. The main purpose of the First Amendment is to ensure public access to information."

"text": "\"Most of Maui's dramatic landforms have volcanic origins. Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian islands and owes its formation to past volcanic activity. The island is predominantly made up of two volcanoes, East Maui, also known as Haleakala, and West Maui, joined by a much lower area of land. As a result, most of the island’s landforms are volcanic. Cinder Cones Cinder cones dot the landscape in parts of the Haleakala National Park. The cones build up over time as ash and chunks of molten lava erupt under pressure from a volcanic vent. This material does not travel far from the vent and over time forms layers that lift the opening of the vent above the surrounding landscape. The U. S. Geological Survey estimates that the cones within Haleakala's crater date back around 800 years, but other cinder cones on the east and southwest coasts are more recent, dating from between 200 and 500 years ago. The cones on the floor of Haleakala fall into the wilderness area of Haleakala National Park and vary in color between red and brown. Lava Flows Maui also shows extensive evidence of past lava flows."

There are eight major and 124 minor islands, volcanic in origin, with a total land mass of 6,425 square miles (16,641 square kilometers). The eight major islands are Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, and Hawaii. Honolulu, the capital, is located on Oahu, and is 6,200 kilometers southwest of San Francisco. The islands' topography includes such diverse features as active volcanos, grassy pastures, and endless stretches of beach. According to U. S. Census Bureau figures (1990), the population of the entire state is 1,108,229, with 836,231 persons living within the incorporated city of Honolulu and its immediate environs. Seventy-three percent of the entire population of the state lives on Oahu. Statewide, 135,263 persons identify themselves as native Hawaiians, though it is not known how many of these people are of mixed race. There has been a widespread diaspora of native Hawaiians, largely to the west coast of the United States and also to other Pacific Island nations. HISTORYThe islands in the triangle formed (roughly) by Tahiti, New Zealand, and Hawaii are inhabited by people who possess prominent genealogical traits in common, speak related languages, and live similar lifestyles."

Cook was an exceptional navigator, cartographer and captian from a nation of explorers. This was his second voyage into the Pacific and his country men already regarded him as a national hero. On this voyage he was leading two ships North to find the elusive North West Passage and to map the Pacific Northwest, he Captained the HMS Resolve while Captain Charles Clerke captained the HMS Discovery. When he sighted the Hawaiian Islands, which he eventually named the Sandwich Islands after the First Lord of the Admiralty, it was a lucky break, as supplies were needed for the long voyage. Three islands appeared initially, each with high wooded peaks and strange glimmering white towers peering up through the forest canopy. The HMS Resolve and the HMS Discovery anchored off of Kauai Island and the Hawaiian natives ventured out in their canoes to see this strange site. At first they were nervous but they had not come out with weapons accept a few rocks. These rocks however were tossed into the water once Captain Cook showed no signs of aggression."

"text": "How did the Hawaiian Islands form? The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity. The Hawaiian Emperor seamount chain is a well-known example of a large seamount and island chain created by hot-spot volcanism. Each island or submerged seamount in the chain is successively older toward the northwest. Near Hawaii, the age progression from island to island can be used to calculate the motion of the Pacific Oceanic plate toward the northwest. The youngest seamount of the Hawaiian chain is Loihi, which presently is erupting from its summit at a depth of 1000 meters. Image courtesy of U. S. Geological Survey. The Earth’s outer crust is made up of a series of tectonic plates that move over the surface of the planet. In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form. Volcanoes can also form in the middle of a plate, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor, at what is called a “hot spot."

The culture and tradition of Hawaii are actually reflections of the land's innate beauty. The graceful Hawaiian dances, the meaningful and religious songs, and the various interesting art forms seem to be created with only one purpose, and that is to serve as instruments through which the beauty and the mystery of the place is expressed. The following are just some of the traditions and cultural practices that make Hawaii unique. The hula The traditional dance of Hawaii are as vibrant as the rolling waves in its beaches. The moves are actually expressions of what Hawaii is, a land of beauty, grace, and spirituality. According to some, the hula represents the spirit of Hawaii through graceful movements and captivating music. The hula is a local dance deeply rooted to the religion of the natives here.

It was the beginning of a five-year endeavour to ensure that Moana, a film about a young heroine in a nonspecific region of Polynesia, would do better at depicting Indigenous people and people of colour than Disney had done in the past. That same year Disney opened the doors to its $800m Aulani resort, part of the Ko Olina resort development on O’ahu in Hawaii. Dressed in an aloha shirt and flip flops, Disney’s chief executive, Bob Iger, said, “We have committed ourselves to ensuring that Aulani is respectful and appreciative of the unique Hawaiian culture and traditions. ”Moana is a rare and wonderful celebration of the Pacific islands – this movie is us Madeleine Chapman Read more This bastion of luxury sits at the gateway to the predominantly native Hawaiian communities of the Waianae coast, one of the most economically disadvantaged areas in Hawaii. Standard room rates start at more than $500 a night. In the midst of a heated conversation about whitewashing in Hollywood, Moana’s creators Musker and Clements have touted their efforts, encouraged by Disney’s creative chief, John Lasseter, to get Polynesian culture right. Whereas, by their own admission, their research for Aladdin consisted of a visit to a Saudi Arabian expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center, for Moana, they worked with a hand-selected group of cultural consultants, later dubbed the Oceanic story trust.

The giant trevally is distributed throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, with a range stretching from South Africa in the west to Hawaii in the east, including Japan in the north and Australia in the south. Two were documented in the eastern tropical Pacific in the 2010s (one captured off Panama and another sighted at the Galápagos ), but it remains to be seen if the species will become established there. [ 1]The giant trevally is distinguished by its steep head profile, strong tail scutes, and a variety of other more detailed anatomical features. It is normally a silvery colour with occasional dark spots, but males may be black once they mature. It is the largest fish in the genus Caranx, growing to a maximum known size of 170 cm (67 in) and a weight of 80 kg (176 lbs). The giant trevally inhabits a wide range of marine environments, from estuaries, shallow bays and lagoons as a juvenile to deeper reefs, offshore atolls and large embayments as an adult. Juveniles of the species are known to live in waters of very low salinity such as coastal lakes and upper reaches of rivers, and tend to prefer turbid waters. The giant trevally is an apex predator in most of its habitats, and is known to hunt individually and in schools. The species predominantly takes various fish as prey, although crustaceans, cephalopods and molluscs make up a considerable part of their diets in some regions."

Karamanlidis 2 Panagiotis Dendrinos 3, Pablo Fernández de Larrinoa 4, Manel Gazo 5, Luis Mariano González 6, Harun Güçlüsoy 7, Rosa Pires 8, Matthias Schnellmann 9Overview Status The Mediterranean monk seal ( Monachus monachus) is one of the world’s most endangered marine mammals, with fewer than 600 individuals currently surviving. The species is described as ”critically endangered” by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and is listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Other international legal mechanisms which recognise and attempt to address the monk seal’s critically endangered status include the Bonn Convention (Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals), the Bern Convention (Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats), the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EU Habitats Directive. History and exploitation In ancient Greece, monk seals were placed under the protection of Poseidon and Apollo because they showed a great love for sea and sun. One of the first coins, minted around 500 BC, depicted the head of a monk seal, and the creatures were immortalized in the writings of Homer, Plutarch and Aristotle. To fishermen and seafarers, catching sight of the animals frolicking in the waves or loafing on the beaches was considered to be an omen of good fortune. Humans hunted Mediterranean monk seals for the basic necessities of their own survival – fur, oil, meat, medicines – but in early antiquity did not kill them in large enough numbers to endanger their existence as a species. Detail from a Caeretan hydria (water jug), c. 520-510 BCBecause of their trusting nature, they were easy prey for hunters and fishermen using clubs, spears and nets. The pelts were used to make tents and were said to give protection against Nature's more hostile elements, especially lightning. The skins were also made into shoes and clothing, and the fat used for oil lamps and tallow candles."

Standing 4,207 m (13,802 ft) above sea level, its peak is the highest point in the state of Hawaii making the island of Hawaii the second highest island in the world and highest island peak made of volcano. Most of the mountain is underwater; when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is over 10,000 m (33,000 ft) tall and is the tallest mountain on Earth. [ 5] Mauna Kea is about a million years old, and has thus passed the most active shield stage of life hundreds of thousands of years ago. In its current post-shield state, its lava is more viscous, resulting in a steeper profile. Late volcanism has also given it a much rougher appearance than its neighboring volcanoes; contributing factors include the construction of cinder cones, the decentralization of its rift zones, the glaciation on its peak, and the weathering effects of the prevailing trade winds. Mauna Kea last erupted 6,000 to 4,000 years ago and is now considered dormant. In Hawaiian mythology, the peaks of the island of Hawaii are sacred."

Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica -poor and very fluid, and they tend to be non-explosive. Mauna Loa has probably been erupting for at least 700,000 years, and may have emerged above sea level about 400,000 years ago. The oldest-known dated rocks are not older than 200,000 years. [ 5] The volcano's magma comes from the Hawaii hotspot, which has been responsible for the creation of the Hawaiian island chain over tens of millions of years."

Melissa Gallanter Boston University January 10, 2016facebook twitter pinterest As a food lover and one who dreams of traveling everywhere on the map and then some, I sought out the defining foods of the United States. Reaching out to college students from across the country, I created a poll and did some research to determine what foods define America, going state by state. With almost 400 responses and hours of road mapping my taste buds, I present the unofficial best foods that represent each state: Alabama: Fried Anything Caroline Liu The fried green tomatoes in Alabama are legendary in their own right, and hundreds of slices are dished out daily throughout the state. To follow, fried catfish, country fried steak, fried dill pickles, fried okra, fried chicken, and fried apple pies are fan favorites that local Alabamans submitted as their defining state foods. For the best foods to bring to your next SEC tailgate, check these out. Alaska: Local Cold-Water Seafood Dyan Khor As a centerpiece of Alaskan cuisine, local salmon is often served as smoked salmon, cured salmon, salmon jerky, and even sweetened salmon candy. The crab and halibut fishing industry also brings tourists from all over the world, as well as Alaskan hunted game such as moose, caribou, elk, and bear. And of course, there are the famous reindeer sausages, which represent the historic food sources of Alaskan natives when grounds were running dry. You can also find Alaska’s unofficial signature cocktail here."

The first Polynesian settlers arrived in Hawaii around 500 A. D. who brought pigs, horses, sheep, goats and dogs with them. Scientists believe that at that time, the Hawaiian Islands were inhabited by some 67 species of birds, of which a third are extinct today. The first settlers did not find any other animals, such as amphibians, mosquitoes, reptiles or bugs. The Islands were home to only two endemic mammals, the Hawaiian monk seal and the hoary bat. It is believed that the hoary bat at some time was accidentally blown to Hawaii from North or South America. In the 19th century, the Hawaiian monk seal almost became extinct because it was being caught for its oil and skin. Today, they are on the endangered species list and have made a comeback. Much of the fauna in Hawaii developed special adaptations to their new home and evolved into new species. Today, nearly 90 percent of the fauna in Hawaii are endemic, meaning that they exist nowhere else in the world."

Vaquero, c. 1830The vaquero ( Spanish pronunciation: [baˈkeɾo], Portuguese: vaqueiro [vaˈkejɾu]) is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that originated on the Iberian Peninsula. Today the vaquero is still a part of the doma vaquera, the Spanish tradition of working riding. The vaquero traditions developed in Mexico from methodology brought to Mesoamerica from Spain and became the foundation for the North American cowboy. The vaqueros of the Americas were the horsemen and cattle herders of Spanish Mexico, who first came to California with the Jesuit priest Eusebio Kino in 1687, and later with expeditions in 1769 and the Juan Bautista de Anza expedition in 1774. [ 1] They were the first cowboys in the region.

The popular \"\" horse whisperer \"\" style of natural horsemanship was originally developed by practitioners who were predominantly from California and the Northwestern United States, clearly combining the attitudes and philosophy of the California vaquero with the equipment and outward look of the Texas cowboy. The natural horsemanship movement openly acknowledges much influence of the vaquero tradition.

"text": "Continental/Continental: The Himalayas The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today.225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean. The supercontinent Pangea began to break up 200 Ma and India started a northward drift towards Asia. 80 Ma India was 6,400 km south of the Asian continent but moving towards it at a rate of between 9 and 16 cm per year. At this time Tethys Ocean floor would have been subducting northwards beneath Asia and the plate margin would have been a Convergent oceanic-continental one just like the Andes today. As seen in the animation above not all of the Tethys Ocean floor was completely subducted; most of the thick sediments on the Indian margin of the ocean were scraped off and accreted onto the Eurasian continent in what is known as an accretionary wedge (link to glossary). These scraped-off sediments are what now form the Himalayan mountain range. From about 50-40 Ma the rate of northward drift of the Indian continental plate slowed to around 4-6 cm per year. This slowdown is interpreted to mark the beginning of the collision between the Eurasian and Indian continental plates, the closing of the former Tethys Ocean, and the initiation of Himalayan uplift. ( Note that in the above animation the continental plates are shown to collide at 10 Ma; this should instead read 50 Ma. ) The Eurasian plate was partly crumpled and buckled up above the Indian plate but due to their low density/high buoyancy neither continental plate could be subducted."

Article written: 30 Dec , 2015 Updated: 4 May , 2017 by Matt Williams When beholding the sheer size and majesty of mountains, ancient humans could not help but feel that they were standing in the presence of something… godlike. And within the belief systems of many ancient cultures, it was generally felt that mountains were something spiritual – either serving as the home of the Gods, a result of their activity, or a place to get closer to God. Thanks to modern geology, we now know the true story of how mountains are formed. Simply put, they are the result of tectonic forces or volcanism. But knowing this has not diminished their impressive and awe-inspiring nature. When a geological formation is created through forces that can only be described as titanic, this is to be expected. But just how are mountains formed? In truth, there are three ways in which mountains are formed, which correspond to the types of mountains in question."

Subduction zones Subduction zones form when a continental plate is colliding with an oceanic plate. Subduction zones also form when two oceanic plates collide. The continental crust is lighter because of the quartz and feldspar minerals in granite. Iron and magnesium are much heavier minerals found in ocean floor basalt. When the two plates meet the oceanic crustal plate always subducts beneath the continental plate. The subducting oceanic plate bends and plunges beneath the lighter continental plate until it melts.

Nibedita Sahoo and Rajesh Kumar Mohapatra Himalayan biodiversity hotspot HIMALAYAN BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT Nibedita Sahoo and Rajesh Kumar Mohapatra Utkal University, Vani Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Orissa-751004 INTRODUCTION Biodiversity (Gr. Bios- life, L. diversus- widely varied) is defined as the variety of plant and animal life in the biosphere. This variety can be observed at 3 levels i.e. the genetic variability within a species, the variety of species within a community and the organization of species in an area in to distinctive plant and animal communities. Areas that are rich in species diversity are called 'Hotspots' of biodiversity. The concept of 'Biodiversity Hotspot' was first defined by Norman Myers in 1988. To qualify as a 'Biodiversity Hotspot' , a region must meet these criteria i.e (i) it must contain at least 1500 species of endemic vascular plants and (ii) all hotspots contain at least one 'Global 200 Ecoregion' and 'Endemic Bird Area' , 60% of 'Global 200 Ecoregions and 78% of 'Endemic Bird Areas' overlap with hotspots.

"text": "\"Himalayas Geology How were the Himalayas formed?23 Answers Rahul Chanila, works at Unbxd Answered Jun 22, 2013Mechanics of Mountain Formation To understand the fascinating mechanics of the collision of India with Asia we must first look beneath the Earth's surface. The continents are carried by the Earth's tectonic plates like people on an escalator. There are currently 7 giant plates sliding across the Earth's surface, and a handful of smaller ones. There may have been more or fewer plates in the past. Currently they slide, collide, and recede from one another at rates of 1-20 cm/year. They are driven by internal heat deep in the earth that is able to escape efficiently only by convection. Convection is the process that drives hot currents of gas or liquid upwards because they are less dense, and cold currents of liquid downwards because they are more dense. Continental Plates In some ways, the continents are like giant accumulations of rock debris lying atop the tectonic plates. Continents are the \"\"scum of the Earth,\"\" consisting mostly of light minerals like quartz, which can't sink into the Earth's dense mantle. For at least 80 million years the oceanic Indian Plate continued its inexorable collision with southern Asia, including Tibet."

Many of you are still unclear why Himalayan Salt is better than other salts and what are the many uses of it for health benefits? The Himalayan mountain range stretches across Asia passing through China, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and India. Most people associate the Himalayans with Mount Everest, the highest peak on this planet, but here is something new to think about salt. A couple of hundreds of millions of years ago crystallized sea salt, now deep within the Himalayans, were covered by lava, snow and ice, that kept it a pristine environment and protected the salt from modern-day pollution. Thus, Himalayan Pink salt is the purest salt to be found on earth. It is now hand-mined from the mountains and brought to the culinary market. Benefits Himalayan salt was formed naturally from hearty 80+ minerals and elements – 85.62% sodium chloride and 14.38% other trace minerals including: sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, strontium, and fluoride (in descending order of quantity). Because of these minerals Himalayan pink salt can: Create an electrolyte balance Increases hydration Regulate water content both inside and outside of cells Balance p H (alkaline/acidity) and help to reduce acid reflux Prevent muscle cramping Aid in proper metabolism functioning Strengthen bones Lower blood pressure Help the intestines absorb nutrients Prevent goiters Improve circulation Dissolve and eliminate sediment to remove toxins It is even said to support libido, reduce the signs of aging, and detoxify the body from heavy metals. The Many Uses of Pink Salt Cooking and curing – use pre-ground salt or grinders like any other salt."

On the geologic time scale, Earth is currently in the Cenozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Cenozoic Era contains two geologic time periods, including the Tertiary Period (65 mya to approximately 1.8 mya) and the current Quaternary Period (1.8 mya to present day). The Tertiary Period is also sometimes referred to in terms of a Paleogene Period and a Neogene Period. When referred to in terms of a Paleogene Period and a Neogene Period, the Paleogene Period extends from approximately 65 mya to 23 mya and the Neogene Period from 23 mya to 2.6 mya. The Quaternary Period is also termed the Anthropogene Period. These periods are further subdivided into six different major epochs, including the Paleocene Epoch , Oligocene Epoch , Miocene Epoch , and Pliocene Epoch , Pleistocene Epoch and current Holocene Epoch . The onset of the Cenozoic Era is marked by the K-T boundary or K-T event — the mass extinction of non-avian dinosaurs marking the boundary between the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era and the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. At the start of the Cenozoic Era, North America and Europe were separated by a widening ocean basin spreading along a prominent mid-oceanic ridge. North America and South America were separated by a confluence of the future Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, and extensive flooding submerged much of what are now the eastern and middle portions of the United States."

It contains the tallest peak of the world, the Mt. Everest that soars up high with 8,848 meters/29,035 feet above sea level. The Himalayas has eight other peaks aside from Mt. Everest with over 8,000 in height which is called the Eight Thousanders. It is astounding how the Himalayas have exceeded other tallest mountains like the Aconcagua in the Andes. It has also out-shined the older mountain ranges such as the Appalachian in the United States and Aravallis in India. Formation Of Himalayas The Himalayas was relatively a young mountain formation in the earth’s surface and remarkably contains the highest peak in the world. The mountain range extends 2,500 kilometers in length and comprised of comparable ridges and folds. The formation of Himalayas has resulted to different assumptions including myths and scientific explanations. Currently, the accepted theory about that supports its formation was formulated in the year 1912 when Alfred Wagener, a German meteorologist, developed his Theory of Continental Drift."

M Farooq Every year millions of Muslims travel to Mecca for the Hajj Every year about 2 million Muslims travel to Al-Masjid Al-Haram, Islam's most sacred mosque, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where they perform a number of spiritual rites, in a process known as the Hajj. Performing the Hajj, is one of the five pillars of Islam, and all able-bodied Muslims should go at least once in their lives if they can afford it. Umrah, which is known as the 'lesser pilgrimage', is a journey to Mecca (Makkah) at any time in the year. The pilgrimage lasts for six days. It occurs during Dhu Al-Hijjah, the 12th month in the Muslim calendar. This year, the Hajj is expected to fall on October 1-6, but it is difficult to know in advance as it is based on lunar cycles. Mecca is thought to be the place where Ishmael and his mother Hagar were provided with a spring of water in the desert. As it is the most sacred place in Islam, non-Muslims are forbidden from entering. G. M Farooq The Kaaba is Islam's most sacred site The Kaaba, or 'the cube', is a black, box-shaped building at the centre of the mosque."

According to Islamic tradition, it was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the prophet Muhammad in 605 CE, five years before his first revelation. Since then it has been broken into fragments and is now cemented into a silver frame in the side of the Kaaba. Its physical appearance is that of a fragmented dark rock, polished smooth by the hands of pilgrims. Islamic tradition holds that it fell from heaven as a guide for Adam and Eve to build an altar.

The Kaaba, meaning cube in Arabic, is a square building elegantly draped in a silk and cotton veil. Located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, it is the holiest shrine in Islam. In Islam, Muslims pray five times a day and after 624 CE, these prayers were directed towards Mecca and the Kaaba rather than Jerusalem; this direction—or qibla in Arabic—is marked in all mosques and enables the faithful to know in which direction they should pray. The Qur‘an established the direction of prayer. All Muslims aspire to undertake the hajj, or the annual pilgrimage, to the Kaaba once in their lives if they are able. Prayer five times a day and the hajj are two of the five pillars of Islam, the most fundamental principles of the faith. Upon arriving in Mecca, pilgrims gather in the courtyard of the Masjid al-Haram around the Kaaba.

For centuries, Islam was both a threat and the source of new ideas to the Greek East and Latin West. Between the 7th and 12th centuries, Islam became the center of a brilliant civilization and of a great scientific, philosophic, and artistic culture. Although its language was neither Greek nor Latin, Islam absorbed a great deal of Greek culture which it managed to preserve for the Latin West. In general, it can be said that Islam absorbed and added its culture to the heritage of Greece, Rome, Judaism, Christianity, and the Near East. In the beginning the Muslims were both open and cautious. They borrowed and integrated elements of other cultures into their own. The new religion of Islam, which we will get to in a moment, adopted elements of Christian, Jewish, and pagan religious beliefs and practices. The Muslims tolerated religious minorities within territories they had conquered so long as these minorities recognized Islamic political rule, paid taxes, and did not proselytize among Muslims. Still, the Muslims were careful to protect the purity of their religion, language, and law from any foreign influence."

The Black Stone of Mecca is inside the chamber. Kaveh Kazemi/Contributor/Getty Imagesby Whitney Hopler Updated November 20, 2017The Black Stone of Mecca is a crystal stone that Muslims believe came from heaven to earth through Archangel Gabriel. It is the centerpiece of a sacred ritual called tawaf that many pilgrims perform on hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca, Saudi Arabia -- a pilgrimage that Islam requires its faithful to make at least once in their lifetimes, if at all possible. The stone is located inside the Kaaba, a chamber in the center of the Masjid al-Haram mosque. The Kaaba, which is covered with a black drape, displays the black stone about five feet off the ground, and worshipers walk around it during their pilgrimages. Muslim pilgrims revere the stone as a powerful symbol of faith. Here's why: From Adam to Gabriel and Abraham Muslims believe that the first human being, Adam, originally received the black stone from God and used it as part of an altar for worship. Then, Muslims say, the stone was hidden for many years on a mountain, until Gabriel, the archangel of revelation, brought it to the Prophet Abraham to use in another altar: the altar where God tested Abraham's faith by calling him to sacrifice his son Ishmael (unlike Jews and Christians, who believe that Abraham laid his son Isaac on the altar, Muslims believe that it was Abraham's son Ishmael instead)."

"text": "\"The Mali Empire at its estimated greatest extent. Image source The Empire of Mali was one of the largest empires in West African History, and at its height it spanned from the Atlantic Coast to central parts of the Sahara desert [i]. The Empire was founded in 1235 CE by the legendary King Sundiata [ii], and lasted until the early 1600s CE [iii]. The Empire’s most famous ruler was named Mansa Musa, and chroniclers of the times wrote that when he travelled to Mecca on a pilgrimage he distributed so much gold that he caused great inflation lasting a decade [iv]. History The Mali Empire arose with the consolidation of several small Malinké Kingdoms in Ghana around the areas of the upper Niger River [v]. Most of what is known about the Empire of Mali’s early history was collected by Arabic scholars in the 1300s and 1400s [vi]. A King named Sumanguru Kanté ruled the Susu Kingdom, which had conquered the Malinké people in the early 13th century [vii]. The King known as Sundiata (also spelled Sunjata) organised the Malinké resistance against the Susu Kingdom [viii], and Sundiata is believed by many historians, such as Conrad David and Innes Gordon, to have founded Mali when he defeated Sumanguru Kanté in 1235 [ix] [x]. The development of the empire began in its capital city of Niani, which was also coincidentally the birthplace of the empire’s founder and King Sundiata [xi]. Sundiata built a vast empire that stretched from the Atlantic Coast south of the Senegal River to Goa on the east of the Middle Niger bend. Economy and Society in the Empire of Mali The Mali Empire consisted of outlying areas and small kingdoms. All these Kingdoms pledged allegiance to Mali by offering annual tributes in the form of rice, millet, lances and arrows [xii]. Mali prospered from taxes collected from its citizens, and all goods brought in and out of the Empire were heavily taxed while all gold nuggets belonged to the King. However, gold dust could be traded and at certain times gold dust was used as currency together with salt and cotton cloth [xiii]. Cowrie shells from the Indian Ocean were later used as currency in the internal trade of the Western Sahara [xiv]. Mali, and especially the city of Timbuktu, was famous a centre of learning and spectacular architecture [xv] such as the Sankara Madrassa - a great center of learning - and the University of Sankore which continued to produce a great many astronomers, scholars and engineers long after the end of the Empire of Mali. French colonial occupation is considered to have contributed to the University’s decline in its quality of education [xvi]. While Mali was a monarchy ruled by the Mansa, or Master, much of the state power was in the hands of court officials [xvii]. This meant that the Empire could survive several periods of instability and a series of bad rulers. The Empire of Mali was also a multi-ethnic and multi-linguistic empire, and Islam was the dominate religion [xviii]. Leadership Mali’s rulers adopted the title of ‘Mansa’ [xix] . Mali’s founder, Sundiata, firmly established himself as a strong leader in both the religious and secular sense [xx], claiming that he had a direct link to spirits of the land, thus making him the guardian of the ancestors. His empire extended from the fringes of the forest in the southwest through the grassland country of the Malinké to the Sahel and Southern Sahara ports of the Walatta and Tandmekka [xxi] , and Arabic scholars estimate that Sundiata ruled for about 25 years and died in 1255 [xxii] . Despite the great extent of the Empire of Mali it was often plagued by insufficient leadership [xxiii]. Yet Sundiata’s son Mansa Wali [xxiv] , who became the next King, is considered to have been one of the most powerful rulers of Mali [xxv] ."

Muhammad and the Faith of Islamcourtesy Muslim Students Association, University of Southern California This verse from the Qur'an, originally written in Arabic, translates \"\"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah\"\" (Qur'an 48:29)A man meditating alone in a cave near Mecca received a religious vision. This vision laid the foundations for a new religion. The year was 610 and the man's name was Muhammad. And the belief system that arose from Muhammad's ideas became the basis of one of the world's most widely practiced religions: Islam. Muhammad was born around 570 in the city of Mecca, located on the Arabian Peninsula. Both of his parents died before Muhammad was six and he was raised by his grandfather and uncle. His family belonged to a poor clan that was active in Mecca politics. Following the traditions of wealthy families, he spent part of his childhood living with a Bedouin family. Bedouins led fairly isolated lives as nomadic herders in the harsh Arabian desert."

Pilgrimage is not undertaken in Islam to the shrines of saints, to monasteries for help from holy men, or to sights where miracles are supposed to have occurred, even though we may see many Muslims do this. Pilgrimage is made to the Kaaba, found in the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the ‘House of God,’ whose sanctity rests in that the Prophet Abraham built it for the worship of God. God rewarded him by attributing the House to himself, in essence honoring it, and by making it the devotional epicenter which all Muslims face when offering the prayers ( salah ). The rites of pilgrimage are performed today exactly as did by Abraham, and after him by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them. Pilgrimage is viewed as a particularly meritorious activity. Pilgrimage serves as a penance - the ultimate forgiveness for sins, devotion, and intense spirituality. The pilgrimage to Mecca, the most sacred city in Islam, is required of all physically and financially able Muslims once in their life. The pilgrimage rite begins a few months after Ramadan, on the 8th day of the last month of the Islamic year of Dhul-Hijjah, and ends on the 13th day."

Some of us do so through religion, some through other ways such as knowledge, music, art etc. Whatever may be the vehicle in such a journey, the path that we all seek is spiritual. The importance of a spiritual happiness and joy is one which is emphasized in every religion and scripture. Human beings are basically spirits caught in a corporeal frame. Just like our bodies need food to survive, similarly, we need to rejuvenate our spirits, our souls, too. An emaciated body can be healed really quickly but treating a broken spiritual framework is a task that requires sincere effort and suitable surroundings. A physical surrounding that itself carries an aura of spirituality is certain to act as a catalyst in one’s journey for achieving spiritual calm and comfort. While there is no doubt regarding the fact that spirituality is to do with the mind, one cannot simultaneously turn a blind eye to the intertwined relationship between mind and body. As a result, the body needs to work in tandem with the mind to attain best results."

"text": "\"Answer by Some Body Confidence votes 3.5KThe Dome of the Rock, being among a complex of buildings on the Temple Mount (the other principal building being the Al-Aqsa Mosque), is one of the holiest sites in Islam, following Mecca and Medina. Its significance stems from the religious beliefs regarding the rock at its heart. According to Islamic tradition, the rock is the spot from where Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel. It is reported that The last holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) started his heavenly journey (Ma'raaj) from the Dome of the Rock. That is why it is important for the Muslims. Once that secret is known, a whole new understanding of early Islam in its relation to Christianity comes on the scene that greatly enhances our comprehension of the theological history of the period. It reveals religious attitudes that existed between early Muslims, Jews and Christians. There is a linguistic key that has great relevance in knowing why the Dome of the Rock was constructed and it provides the true meaning for its existence. Once this is realized, it will help divert Muslim attention away from their present attitude of reverent holiness toward the Dome and it will redirect their attention to the Al Aqsa Mosque located to the south, and it will further emphasize the importance of Mecca in the eyes of all Muslims. This new information will also aid Christians to know that the Dome of the Rock was actually built by Abd al-Malik in 692 A. D. as a rebuilt Christian Church that once stood in its place."

This form was used in the earliest English sonnets by Wyatt and others. For background on the pre-English sonnet, see Robert Canary's web page, The Continental Origins of the Sonnet. [ 2] In a strict Petrarchan sonnet, the sestet does not end with a couplet (since this would tend to divide the sestet into a quatrain and a couplet). However, in Italian sonnets in English, this rule is not always observed, and c d d c e e and c d c d e e are also used."

The form comes from Italy, where the language has more rhymes than English. The poem is divided into two parts. The first eight lines present some argument or question. The next six lines change the rhyme pattern, and provide an answer or counterargument. A Petrarchan sonnet can be serious or funny.

Overview The Poem Subject Observations Questions Form Observations Questions Word Choice, or Diction Observations Questions Theme Observations Questions Sample Analysis Excerpt A Note on Organization Further Reading Overview When your teachers or professors ask you to analyze a literary text, they often look for something frequently called close reading. Close reading is deep analysis of how a literary text works; it is both a reading process and something you include in a literary analysis paper, though in a refined form. Fiction writers and poets build texts out of many central components, including subject, form, and specific word choices. Literary analysis involves examining these components, which allows us to find in small parts of the text clues to help us understand the whole. For example, if an author writes a novel in the form of a personal journal about a character's daily life, but that journal reads like a series of lab reports, what do we learn about that character? What is the effect of picking a word like \"\"tome\"\" instead of \"\"book\"\"? In effect, you are putting the author's choices under a microscope. The process of close reading should produce a lot of questions. It is when you begin to answer these questions that you are ready to participate thoughtfully in class discussion or write a literary analysis paper that makes the most of your close reading work."

"text": "\"A sonnet is a 14-line poem that is written in iambic pentameter. The term \"\"iambic\"\" refers to the type of foot, or unit of rhythm, which in this case is composed of a weaker syllable followed by an accented syllable. \"\" Pentameter\"\" refers to the number of feet in a line, which in this case is five. Therefore, each line in iambic pentameter consists of five two-syllable units of rhythm — essentially \"\"Da dum da dum da dum da dum da dum\"\" in most cases, with \"\"da\"\" being the weaker syllable and \"\"dum\"\" being the accented syllable. The three traditional forms of sonnets are Italian or Petrarchan sonnets, English or Shakespearean sonnets and Spenserian sonnets. Petrarchan sonnets Italian sonnets are commonly called Petrarchan sonnets, after Francesco Petrarca, a 14th-century Italian poet who was also known as Petrarch. A Petrarchan sonnet consists of an eight-line stanza, called an octave, followed by a six-line stanza, called a sestet. This type of sonnet is constructed with a change of thought or turn between the octave and the sestet, although their content and form are aligned. For example, the octave might tell of a conflict, with the sestet telling of the resolution. The rhyming scheme of a Patrarchan sonnet is always abbaabba."

"text": "Shakespearean Sonnet Basics: Iambic Pentameter and the English Sonnet Style Shakespeare's sonnets are written predominantly in a meter called iambic pentameter, a rhyme scheme in which each sonnet line consists of ten syllables. The syllables are divided into five pairs called iambs or iambic feet. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. An example of an iamb would be good BYE. A line of iambic pentameter flows like this: ba BOOM / ba BOOM / ba BOOM / ba BOOM / ba BOOM. Here are some examples from the sonnets: When I / do COUNT / the CLOCK / that TELLS / the TIME ( Sonnet 12) When IN / dis GRACE / with FOR / tune AND / men's EYES I ALL / a LONE / be WEEP / my OUT/ cast STATE ( Sonnet 29) Shall I / com PARE/ thee TO / a SUM / mer's DAY? Thou ART / more LOVE / ly AND / more TEM / per ATE ( Sonnet 18) Shakespeare's plays are also written primarily in iambic pentameter, but the lines are unrhymed and not grouped into stanzas. Unrhymed iambic pentameter is called blank verse. It should be noted that there are also many prose passages in Shakespeare's plays and some lines of trochaic tetrameter, such as the Witches' speeches in Macbeth .

"text": "\"Homework Help > Shakespeare's Sonnets What are the similarities and differences in form and content between the Shakespearean Sonnet and the Petrarchan Sonnet?print Print document PDF list Cite Expert Answersthanatassa | Certified Educator The Italian term sonetto simply means a short or little song. The fourteen-line sonnet form with which later became known as the \"\"Italian\"\" or \"\"Petrarchan\"\" sonnet appears to have first been regularized in the work of Guittone of Arezzo, a thirteenth century Italian poet. Petrarch (1304 – 1374) employed the form in his 366-sonnet sequence, Rime Sparse, a collection of poems on the subject of his love for a woman named Laura. Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503 – 1542) and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517 - 1547) translated Petrarch's sonnets into English and are generally regarded as the founders of the English sonnet tradition. Wyatt, in particular, used the Petrarchan sonnet form extensively in his own poetic works as well as his translations. Although Surrey and other poets of his period wrote English sonnets, due to the fame and influence of Shakespeare's work, the English sonnet is frequently called a \"\"Shakespearean\"\" sonnet. Both forms are fourteen lines long and normally written in iambic pentameter in English. They differ in both rhyme scheme and structure. The Italian sonnet consists of an eight-line octave followed by a six-line sestet. The octave is rhymed as two closed quatrains, ABBAABBA."

"text": "The Sonnet Form<< Prev Section Next Section >>A sonnet is a fourteen-line lyric poem, traditionally written in iambic pentameter—that is, in lines ten syllables long, with accents falling on every second syllable, as in: “Shall I com pare thee to a sum mer’s day ?” The sonnet form first became popular during the Italian Renaissance, when the poet Petrarch published a sequence of love sonnets addressed to an idealized woman named Laura. Taking firm hold among Italian poets, the sonnet spread throughout Europe to England, where, after its initial Renaissance, “Petrarchan” incarnation faded, the form enjoyed a number of revivals and periods of renewed interest. In Elizabethan England—the era during which Shakespeare’s sonnets were written—the sonnet was the form of choice for lyric poets, particularly lyric poets seeking to engage with traditional themes of love and romance. ( In addition to Shakespeare’s monumental sequence, the Astrophel and Stella sequence by Sir Philip Sydney stands as one of the most important sonnet sequences of this period.) Sonnets were also written during the height of classical English verse, by Dryden and Pope, among others, and written again during the heyday of English Romanticism, when Wordsworth, Shelley, and particularly John Keats created wonderful sonnets. Today, the sonnet remains the most influential and important verse form in the history of English poetry. Two kinds of sonnets have been most common in English poetry, and they take their names from the greatest poets to utilize them: the Petrarchan sonnet and the Shakespearean sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet is divided into two main parts, called the octave and the sestet. The octave is eight lines long, and typically follows a rhyme scheme of ABBAABBA, or ABBACDDC."

While the early sonneteers experimented with patterns, Francesco Petrarca (anglicised as Petrarch) was one of the first to significantly solidify sonnet structure. The Italian or Petrarchan sonnet consists of two parts; an octave and a sestet. The octave can be broken down into two quatrains; likewise, the sestet is made up of two tercets. The octave presents an idea to be contrasted by the ending sestet. The particular quatrains and tercets are divided by change in rhyme."

Metaphysical Conceit – Definition, Characteristics, and Examples2. Petrarchan Conceit – Definition, Characteristics, and Examples What is a Conceit in Poetry A conceit in poetry is an extended metaphor that makes a comparison between two dissimilar things. The term conceit is used in two concepts in poetry; conceit can either refer to the conceits in metaphysical poetry or conceits used in Petrarchan sonnets. Metaphysical Conceit Metaphysical conceit is an extended metaphor used to make a comparison between two very different things. Creating unconventional and audacious metaphors and similes to compare very dissimilar things was a major characteristic of metaphysical poetry. A comparison becomes a conceit when the poet tries to prove a similarity between two very dissimilar things to the reader who is very conscious of the differences between the said two things. A conceit provides a more complex and sophisticated understanding of a comparison. Thus, this comparison governs the whole poem or poetic passage. This comparison of entirely dissimilar things also proves the skills of the poet."

"text": "Steiner House St. Veit-Gasse 10 Vienna Austria Adolf Loos 1910The Steiner house was designed for the painter Lilly Steiner and her husband Hugo. It is located in a Vienna suburb where the planning regulations were strong enough to have a direct impact on the final design. Loos was a remarkable architect when working within the limits imposed by the shape of the site or external forces like the planning codes. The regulations only permitted a street front with one story and a dormer window (a window built in a sloping roof). The large window at the front brings light into the atelier of the painter, which was situated on the first level. The garden facade is three storied and with the use of the semi-circular metal-sheathed roof Loos manages to articulate the transition between the front and garden elevations. The Steiner house became a highly influential example of modern architecture; it played a significant role in establishing Loos' reputation as a modern architect to the audience outside of the Viennese community, and became an obligatory reference for architects during the 1920s and 30s. Almost all of the literature of the Modern Movement has reproduced the garden façade as an indisputable example of radical rationalist modern architecture. The stripped façade was rapidly assimilated into the formal purism of the 1920s and was the major reason for the success of the building. In this respect it is interesting to note the comments of the writer Panayotis Tournikiotis* who states that'This house renews classical tradition, is not a desire to negate history. '"

"text": "Media and Tech How Using Social Media Affects Teenagers En Español Experts say kids are growing up with more anxiety and less self-esteem Rachel Ehmke Many parents worry about how exposure to technology might affect toddlers developmentally. We know our preschoolers are picking up new social and cognitive skills at a stunning pace, and we don’t want hours spent glued to an i Pad to impede that. But adolescence is an equally important period of rapid development, and too few of us are paying attention to how our teenagers’ use of technology—much more intense and intimate than a 3-year-old playing with dad’s i Phone—is affecting them. In fact, experts worry that the social media and text messages that have become so integral to teenage life are promoting anxiety and lowering self-esteem. Indirect communication Teens are masters at keeping themselves occupied in the hours after school until way past bedtime. When they’re not doing their homework (and when they are) they’re online and on their phones, texting, sharing, trolling, scrolling, you name it. Of course before everyone had an Instagram account teens kept themselves busy, too, but they were more likely to do their chatting on the phone, or in person when hanging out at the mall. It may have looked like a lot of aimless hanging around, but what they were doing was experimenting, trying out skills, and succeeding and failing in tons of tiny real-time interactions that kids today are missing out on. For one thing, modern teens are learning to do most of their communication while looking at a screen, not another person. There’s no question kids are missing out on very critical social skills."

I have pleasure in sending you this first dispatch ever telegraphed from an aerial station, and in acknowledging indebtedness for your encouragement for the opportunity of demonstrating the availability of the science of aeronautics in the military service of the country. ’The man dictating the fulsome message was Thaddeus Lowe. He and the telegraph operator were in a gas balloon tethered 500 feet above the grounds of the Columbia Armory in Washington, D. C. The telegraph cables, which ran along one of the rigging wires to the ground, were connected to the War Department and the White House. Most important was the man on the receiving end of the message–President Abraham Lincoln. With a finely honed gift of salesmanship, Lowe was making his pitch to become the head of an aeronautic corps attached to the Union Army, using the balloon as a military machine. The use of balloons in war was not really new."

June 25, 2011 | By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times Television and film music composer Fred Steiner, creator of the bold and gritty theme for the \"\"Perry Mason\"\" TV series and one of the composers of the Oscar-nominated score for \"\"The Color Purple,\"\" has died. He was 88. Steiner died of natural causes Thursday at his home in the town of Ajijic in the Mexican state of Jalisco, according to his daughter Wendy Waldman, a singer-songwriter.

The piece he came up with, titled \"\"Park Avenue Beat,\"\" pulsed with the power of the big city and the swagger of a beefy hero played to perfection by actor Raymond Burr. \"\" In those days, jazz — or in those days, rhythm and blues was the big thing — represented the seamier side of life,\"\" Steiner told National Public Radio interviewer Nina Totenberg in 2002. \"\" Don't ask me why — that's a sociological question. \"\" Frederick Steiner was born Feb. 24, 1923, in New York City, the son of violinist, composer and arranger George Steiner."

Death narrates the story of Liesel Meminger, beginning when she is nine years old and suffering from the death of her brother and separation from her mother. Liesel goes to live with Hans and Rosa Hubermann at 33 Himmel Street in Molching. When Liesel arrives, she can't read and is made fun of in school. She realizes how powerless she is without words, and so Hans, a painter and accordion player, teaches her how to read during midnight lessons in the basement, reading from the book Liesel took from her brother's burial: The Grave Digger's Handbook. During Liesel's early days with the Hubermanns, she has nightmares and Hans sits with her through the night. With his gentle demeanor and his accordion playing, Hans gains Liesel's trust as she grows close to him and comes to associate his presence with safety. She becomes very good friends with Rudy Steiner, the Hubermanns' neighbor. Rudy is constantly trying to get Liesel to kiss him, but she always refuses. For a while, Himmel Street is a happy place for Liesel."

HUGHES OCT. 30, 2015The 300-acre Navy Yard has 7,000 people employed in 330 companies tucked away in structures amid rusting cranes and cannons. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times The area by the Brooklyn Navy Yard can seem forbidding. Hulking warehouses line Flushing Avenue, a wide and busy street that hugs the yard for 16 blocks, while the yard, a massive former military complex turned manufacturing center, is almost totally enclosed by tall fences and walls. “It’s literally like working in a federal prison,” said Chris Terrell, a wine importer who stores his bottles at the yard and must venture past its security checkpoints. But the vibe will be less harsh going forward, as major steps are being taken to reinvent the area, part of the Wallabout neighborhood. The new Navy Green housing complex will have market-rate and affordable apartments. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times Across from the yard, developers are putting the finishing touches on Navy Green, a $146 million housing complex with market-rate and affordable apartments being built on the site of a former Navy brig. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, the nonprofit entity that manages the city-owned facility, is removing some of the walls that have isolated the Navy Yard from the community, while adding a supermarket, a food hall and a park that the public can use.

The federal government closed the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1966, and private ship building continued until 1979. Although NYC bought the 300-acre site after the Navy Yard closed, the area lay dormant for 20 years, devastating the surrounding neighborhoods. Between 1966 and 1996, New York City only invested $3 million into the Navy Yard. In the late '90s and early '00s, the city began to take on the site again, and since then, $250 million has been invested from public funds (mainly from the city). There has also been some $750 million in private money invested in the site. Given its huge size and current powerhouse of business, there's plenty to learn. With the help of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (which manages the site), we took a tour behind the scenes to learn some of its secrets."

Reznov first appeared in World at War, as a Sergeant in the Red Army. He appeared throughout World at War 's Russian campaign as a compatriot of the player-controlled Dimitri Petrenko. Reznov and Petrenko lead the Red Army's assault on Stalingrad and were instrumental in the death of Nazi General Heinrich Amsel, and later were heavily involved in the Red Army's advance through Germany to Berlin. During the Battle of Berlin, Reznov watched Petrenko raise the Russian flag atop the Reichstag. Months after the end of World War II, both Reznov (now promoted to Captain) and Petrenko were members of Unit 45 of the 3rd Shock Army, under the command of Major General Nikita Dragovich and Colonel Lev Kravchenko, to capture Freidrich Steiner, an ex-Nazi scientist who developed a deadly nerve agent known as Nova-6. However, they were betrayed, and Dragovich tested the poison on them, then made off with Steiner and the Nova-6."

[ 1] [2] Initially developed in 1924, it was the first of the organic agriculture movements. [ 3] It treats soil fertility, plant growth, and livestock care as ecologically interrelated tasks, [4] [5] [6] emphasizing spiritual and mystical perspectives. Biodynamics has much in common with other organic approaches – it emphasizes the use of manures and composts and excludes the use of artificial chemicals on soil and plants. Methods unique to the biodynamic approach include its treatment of animals, crops, and soil as a single system, an emphasis from its beginnings on local production and distribution systems, its use of traditional and development of new local breeds and varieties. Some methods use an astrological sowing and planting calendar. [ 7] Biodynamic agriculture uses various herbal and mineral additives for compost additives and field sprays; these are sometimes prepared by controversial methods, such as burying ground quartz stuffed into the horn of a cow, which are said to harvest \"\"cosmic forces in the soil\"\", that are more akin to sympathetic magic than agronomy. [ 8]As of 2016 biodynamic techniques were used on 161,074 hectares in 60 countries. [ 9] Germany accounts for 45% of the global total; [10] the remainder average 1750 ha per country. Biodynamic methods of cultivating grapevines have been taken up by several notable vineyards. ["

"text": "\"anthroposophic medicine Anthroposophic medicine (AM) is medicine that has been infused with the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Chief among these teachings is that the body is not an independent material organism and that good health depends on a harmonious relationship between the physical body, spirit or vital force, the soul, and the ego. One kind of remedy frequently offered by AM is the homeopathic remedy, which is not surprising since classical homeopathy is rooted in vitalism, as is Steiner's philosophy. Like homeopathy, AM also features a highly individualized treatment of each patient. However, since Steiner believed in reincarnation, an AM doctor has to try to figure out \"\"the particular state of soul and spirit\"\" * of the patient in regard to its many lives, past, present, and future. According to Peter Hinderberger, M. D.,Rudolf Steiner made the remarkable discovery that a plant is a healing plant when it has a distortion or an abnormality in its physiology and/or morphology. Medical plants are \"\"diseased\"\" in that they are one-sided developments that are held in balance only by self-healing. This represents a modern, scientific reformulation of what, in former times, existed in the \"\" doctrine of signatures \"\". An example will demonstrate this: plants that grow near water are usually heavy, with big, dark green leaves that wilt and break easily. An exception is salix alba, the white willow, a tree that always grows near water and loves fight [sic]. However, unlike other \"\"watery\"\" plants, the willow has fine, almost dry leaves and looks very light."

Play ( help · info)In music theory, an interval is the difference between two pitches. [ 1] An interval may be described as horizontal, linear, or melodic if it refers to successively sounding tones, such as two adjacent pitches in a melody, and vertical or harmonic if it pertains to simultaneously sounding tones, such as in a chord. [ 2] [3]In Western music, intervals are most commonly differences between notes of a diatonic scale. The smallest of these intervals is a semitone. Intervals smaller than a semitone are called microtones. They can be formed using the notes of various kinds of non-diatonic scales. Some of the very smallest ones are called commas, and describe small discrepancies, observed in some tuning systems, between enharmonically equivalent notes such as C ♯ and D ♭.

Here are some suggestions:24 keys One could argue that there should be one major and one relative minor key for each of the 12 equal tempered enharmonic notes, that is for each of C; Db (/C#); D; Eb (/D#); E; F; F#/Gb; G; Ab (/G#); A; Bb (/A#); B totalling 24 keys. This would in some sense be supported by the mere idea of 24-key set compositions such as Bach's The Well Tempered Clavier and Chopin's 24 preludes (although the choice of enharmonic high-number sharps/flats key signatures vary in different composition sets).26 keys Sticking to the idea of enharmonic notes and the 24 keys but making a difference between the note names F# and Gb since they require an equal amount of sharp and flat symbols in their major and relative minor key signatures, and in that way seem equally relevant, yields 26 keys.30 keys If you count keys while you keep adding sharps or flats, until all seven natural notes (A to G) have a sharp or a flat symbol in the key signature, you end up with 30 keys. That is the 15 keys C; F; Bb; Eb; Ab; Db; Gb; Cb (! ); G; D; A; E; B; F#; C# (!) in majors and their relative minors.42 keys Counting all seven natural notes (A to G) on their own, as well as their respective flattened, and sharpened notes we get 21 note names as a basis for keys. That is Cb; C; C#; Db; D; D#; Eb; E; E#; Fb; F; F#; Gb; G; G#; Ab; A; A#; Bb; B; B#. Major and relative minor keys for each of these 21 gets you 42 keys ( indeed with a lot of double sharps of flats in twelve of them ). Infinate number of keys Albeit seemingly ridiculous someone might amuse himself/herself with for instance \"\"transposing\"\" 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' from C major to A### major 1 (\"\"A triple-sharp major\"\" with 24 sharps in the key signature :-) or use any other super-sharp/-flat key."

Although not absolutely necessary, learning about the fundamental rules and techniques of jazz can deepen one's understanding and appreciation of the art form. Timbre Timbre (tone color) refers to the distinctive qualities of a sound, as in the difference between instruments or voices. We control timbre: the tone of voice can indicate emotions; we can physically change the sound of an instrument with mutes. Timbral variation is a musical value in jazz and can be used to find one's own sound. The Ensemble Wind Instruments (Horns)Instruments are often classified by the way the sound is made. Wind instruments are the largest category of jazz instruments. These produce sound by vibrating a column of air that can be modified by changing the length of the column (by depressing keys) or overblowing. Brass Instruments Sound is made by vibrating lips in a cuplike mouthpiece. Valves control the length of tubing."

Let me extend his calculations a bit and \"\"at ninety degrees\"\", here into the realm of chords, vertical structures, for just one well-known instrument, the piano ... A couple of years ago, as an exercise of Ruby 's Bignum class capabilities (integer calculations of arbitrarily large precision), I wrote a little demonstration program, how-many-chords-on-piano.rb, which answers the question: How many chords (simultaneously depressed key combinations) are theoretically possible on a modern 88-key piano keyboard? In other words, this program calculates the sum-total of all theoretically possible chords playable on a standard 88-note (key) piano — that is, the sum of { all 1-note (trivial) chords, plus all 2-note chords, plus all 3-note chords, ..., plus all 86-note chords, plus all 87-note chords, plus all 88-note chords }. This is a job for combinatorials (not permutations); that is, by definition: C (n,k) = n! / ( k! ( n - k )! ) ( see Wikipedia article: Combination) C (n,k) is sometimes read aloud as \"\"the combination of N things taken K at a time\"\", where the order of those things does not matter (unlike a permutation). Therefore, the total number of chords on a piano is total Chords = C (88, 0) + C (88, 1) + C (88, 2) + C (88, 3) + ... + C (88, 88) The term C (88,0), eighty-eight notes taken zero at a time — which is the one (1) combination of zero notes, the non-played chord — is included for symmetry with the term C (88,88) — which is the one (1) combination of all notes played at once. Note that there's a bilateral symmetry at work here: The number of (trivial) one-note chords, C (88,1), is 88, as is the number of eighty-seven-note chords, C (88,87); the number of two-note chords is the same as the number of eighty-six-note chords, C (88,2) = C (88,86) = 3,828; C (88,3) = C (88,85) = 109,736; and so on... This particular piano-chord calculation is based on terms which come in complementary pairs. So, what's the answer?"

"text": "Scale length, fret positioning, tuning and intonation. In my previous article I focused on the structure and materials used in building guitar necks. This time we’ll take a look at scale length, fret spacing, tuning, intonation and how the neck dimensions relate to tuning. Scale length Scale length is one of the basic measurements that determines the size or scale of a stringed instrument and therefore the length of the neck. On fretted instruments this is a design value, used as the starting point for calculating fret positions. Although it is often described as being the vibrating length of the strings this isn’t really true, since string lengths are always slightly longer than the scale length to allow for intonation compensation (see the section on intonation compensation). The most accurate way to determine the scale length of a (conventionally fretted) guitar is to measure from the inside face of the nut (or the middle of the zero fret if the instrument has one) to the middle of the twelfth fret and then double this measurement. As we will see later, even this isn’t accurate for those very few instruments that have nut compensation. Scale length, instrument pitch, tone and string construction are closely related and early instrument design was constrained by the relatively crude string technology of the time. There is still no fixed standard scale length for steel strung acoustic guitar and it’s not unknown for manufacturers to make the same model of guitar in a choice of scale lengths."

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

"text": "Twelve-Tone Theory — Basics Twelve-tone music is most often associated with a compositional technique, or style, called serialism. The terms are not equivalent, however. Serialism is a broad designator referring to the ordering of things, whether they are pitches, durations, dynamics, and so on. Twelve-tone composition refers more specifically to music based on orderings of the twelve pitch classes. This style of composition is most associated with a group of composers whose figurehead was Arnold Schoenberg and which also included the influential composers Anton Webern and Alban Berg. But twelve-tone compositional techniques and ideas associated with such techniques were very influential for many great composers, and serial and twelve-tone music is still being written today. Much of this music shares similar axioms, outlined below, but composers have used these basic ideas to cultivate entirely original approaches. Twelve-tone music is based on series (sometimes called a row) that contains all twelve pitch classes in a particular order. There is no one series used for all twelve-tone music; most composers write a unique row for each piece. ( There 12!—that is, 12 factorial—twelve-tone series, which is equal to 479,001,600 unique row forms."

"text": "What are the Solfeggio frequencies? Solfeggio frequencies make up the ancient 6-tone scale thought to have been used in sacred music, including the beautiful and well known Gregorian Chants. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart spiritual blessings when sung in harmony. Each Solfeggio tone is comprised of a frequency required to balance your energy and keep your body, mind and spirit in perfect harmony. The main six Solfeggio frequencies are: 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships741 Hz – Expression/Solutions852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order They were used in over 150 Gregorian Chants Where do these tones come from? According to Professor Willi Apel, the origin of the ancient Solfeggio scale can be traced back to a Medieval hymn to John the Baptist. The hymn has this peculiarity that the first six lines of the music commenced respectively on the first six successive notes of the scale, and thus the first syllable of each line was sung to a note one degree higher that the first syllable of the line that preceded it. Because the music held mathematic resonance, the original frequencies were capable of spiritually inspiring mankind to be more “god-kind”. The original Solfeggio scale was developed by a Benedictine monk, Guido d’Arezzo (c. 991 AD – c. 1050 AD). It was used by singers to learn chants and songs more easily."

While we will never know for sure, it is likely that music originally developed (thousands and thousands of years ago) as a means to coordinate and synchronize collective human movement, such as for hunting or farming. Even today, it comes natural to start singing a rhythmic song to accompany the activity of a group of people, whether hiking in the mountains of building a roof. Presumably, great singers held an important social status just like shamans or top hunters. Later, as percussion instruments developed to accompany music, individual percussionists may have also emerged. Then new kinds of instruments, not only percussive, emerged that further enabled virtuoso playing. Sometimes during the evolution of civilizations, \"\"solo music\"\" was invented to admire and appreciate the music of the best singers and instrumentalists. It is likely that, initially, their performances were mainly for the aristocracy and were purely musical. At some point it came natural to merge solo music and solo poetry to entertain the aristocracy (and later the masses) with stories that people were familiar with. During the classic age of Greek theater, these stories became more abstract and metaphorical, and the music became less straightforward."

In music theory, the tritone is defined as a musical interval composed of three adjacent whole tones. [ 1] For instance, the interval from F up to the B above it (in short, F–B) is a tritone as it can be decomposed into the three adjacent whole tones F–G, G–A, and A–B. According to this definition, within a diatonic scale there is only one tritone for each octave. For instance, the above-mentioned interval F–B is the only tritone formed from the notes of the C major scale. A tritone is also commonly defined as an interval spanning six semitones. According to this definition, a diatonic scale contains two tritones for each octave. For instance, the above-mentioned C major scale contains the tritones F–B (from F to the B above it, also called augmented fourth) and B–F (from B to the F above it, also called diminished fifth, semidiapente, or semitritonus ). [ 2] In twelve-equal temperament, the tritone divides the octave exactly in half. In classical music, the tritone is a harmonic and melodic dissonance and is important in the study of musical harmony. The tritone can be used to avoid traditional tonality: \"\"Any tendency for a tonality to emerge may be avoided by introducing a note three whole tones distant from the key note of that tonality.\"\" [ 3] Contrarily, the tritone found in the dominant seventh chord helps establish the tonality of a composition."

"text": "A Brief Introduction to the Lute'Now divine aire, now is his soule ravisht, is it not strange that sheepes guts should hale soules out of mens bodies?' — William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing. Shakespeare was only one of many writers of his day who attributed to the lute the power to transport the listener into a kind of ecstasy; for throughout the Renaissance the lute's ravishing tone made it the most esteemed and admired of all musical instruments. The fame of the greatest players spread through all Europe, and the doors of royal courts and palaces were open to them (a number were consequently employed as spies) while instruments by the most famous makers could fetch astronomical sums. The origins of the lute, however, lay outside Europe. The lute derives its name, as well as its distinctive shape, from the Arabic 'ud, an instrument which is vey much at the heart of Arabic musical life to this day. ' Al 'ud' means 'the wooden one', a name perhaps coined to distinguish the 'ud from instruments made from gourds or with parchment soundboards. It came to Europe in the Middle Ages, perhaps brought back from the Crusades, or via Moorish Spain, or Sicily, where the thirteenth century King Manfred von Hohenstaufen was a keen player. Throughout the Mediaeval period the lute, which then had only five 'courses' or pairs of strings, was played with a quill plectrum—again like the 'ud. Playing with a plectrum limits the kind of solo music that can be performed, and so the lute was often played in consort with other instruments, perhaps improvising over a drone or ground, playing dance tunes, or being used to accompany song."

"text": "Tweet PHARYNX ANATOMYThe pharynx is responsible for adjoining the nasal cavity and the oral cavity to the larynx (which belongs to the respiratory system) and the esophagus (which belongs to the digestive system. It is approximately 13 centimeters long and is the shape of a funnel. Skeletal muscle creates the walls which provide structural support for the pharynx. The lumen is then lined with mucous membranes. The various lymphoid organs which are housed in the pharynx are known as the tonsils. PHARYNX FUNCTIONSThe pharynx is responsible for its share of both respiratory and digestive functions. In common terms, it is known as either the gullet or the throat. Vocalization sounds also resonate throughout the pharynx, creating an additional responsibility of speech assistance. The pharynx is segregated into three basic regions, based primarily on the function it performs and the area it serves. PHARYNX STRUCTUREPositioned above the mouth (which is the entryway point for nourishment) is the nasopharynx."

"text": "\"Harvard Women's Health Watch What to do about sinusitis A step-by-step approach to treating and preventing sinusitis starts with a simple nasal wash. Updated: April 2, 2018 Published: March, 2009If you've ever had a cold that just wouldn't go away, chances are it was sinusitis — an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the cavities within the bones that surround the nose. The sinuses are lined with a thin membrane that produces mucus, which is normally swept along by hair cells and drains through small openings into the nasal cavity. Sinusitis (also called rhinosinusitis) starts when this drainage system becomes blocked, usually from swelling due to inflammation caused by infection or allergy. Soon, your head hurts, you feel facial pressure or pain, and thick mucus clogs your nose. The symptoms may clear on their own, but often they persist or repeatedly return. Several years ago, Dr. Ralph Metson, a sinus specialist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston, conducted a study of the effects of chronic sinusitis on daily functioning. Dr. Metson says he and his colleagues undertook the research because so many of his patients felt that no one understood how miserable sinusitis could be. Comparing the impact of chronic sinusitis with that of other chronic illnesses — including heart failure, back pain, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — the Harvard researchers found that sinusitis sufferers reported the highest levels of pain and the lowest levels of social functioning, as well as significant problems with work, energy, and mental health. Anatomy of the paranasal sinuses The paranasal sinuses comprise four pairs of sinuses that surround the nose and drain into the nasal cavity by way of narrow channels called ostia (singular: ostium)."

"text": "Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and pharynx accounts for over 48,250 cases per year in the United States with approximately 9,575 deaths per year (1,2). Unfortunately, the diagnosis continues to rely on patient presentation and physical examination with biopsy confirmation. This may result in delay in diagnosis accounting for the fact that the majority of these cancers are diagnosed at a late stage (1, 3-5). Studies confirm that survival does correlate with stage, making early diagnosis and treatment optimal for this disease (1). Despite advances in surgical techniques, radiation therapy technology, and the addition of combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the treatment regimen, survival data has not shown appreciable change in decades (1,6,7). Five-year survival data reveal overall disease specific survival rates of less than 60% although those that do survive often endure major functional, cosmetic, and psychological burden due to dysfunction of the ability to speak, swallow, breathe, and chew. Seventy-five percent of all head and neck cancers begin in the oral cavity. According to the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Ends Results (SEER) program, 30 percent of oral cancers originate in the tongue, 17 percent in the lip, and 14 percent in the floor of the mouth (11). Many other studies support this finding that oral cancers appear most often on the tongue, and floor of the mouth (12,13). New data related to the HPV16 virus may indicate that these trends are changing with the poster mouth including the tonsils, tonsillar pillar and crypt, the base of the tongue, and the oropharynx increasing rapidly in incidence rates."

"text": "Pharynx Contents Boundaries Blood Supply Innervation Pathology The pharynx, which is more commonly known as the throat, is a 5 inches long tube which runs behind the nasal cavity, the oral cavity and into the upper esophagus and respiratory tract. It’s primary function is connecting the nasal cavity to the larynx so that air can pass in and out of the lungs and connecting the oral cavity with the esophagus so that a food bolus may be swallowed and passed on to the stomach for further digestion. The pharynx is theoretically split into thirds according to the surrounding anatomical regions. These regions are known as the nasopharynx, the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx. Recommended video: Muscles of the pharynx Overview of the muscles of the pharynx and related structures. Boundaries Pharyngeal mucosa In order of descent from cranial to caudal, each third of the pharynx and it’s boundaries will be discussed, so that the reader has a clear view of what comes first and where each area starts and finishes. The nasopharynx is the first of the three thirds of the pharynx and it extends from the fornix of the nasal cavity to the soft palate of the oral cavity. Anteriorly it is limited by the choanae of the nasal cavity and posteriorly by the mucosa of the throat which covers the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle. The superior pharyngeal constrictor extends laterally, limiting the nasopharynx from that angle as well. The oropharynx is the middle section of the pharynx and it therefore fills the space between the nasopharynx and the laryngopharynx."

If the nodes are quite big, you may be able to see them bulging under the skin, particularly if the enlargement is asymmetric (i.e. it will be more obvious if one side is larger then the other). To palpate, use the pads of all four fingertips as these are the most sensitive parts of your hands. Examine both sides of the head simultaneously, walking your fingers down the area in question while applying steady, gentle pressure. The major groups of lymph nodes as well as the structures that they drain, are listed below. The description of drainage pathways are rough approximations as there is frequently a fair amount of variability and overlap. Nodes are generally examined in the following order: Palpating Anterior Cervical Lymph Nodes Anterior Cervical (both superficial and deep): Nodes that lie both on top of and beneath the sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCM) on either side of the neck, from the angle of the jaw to the top of the clavicle."

For all air-breathing vertebrates, respiration is handled by the lungs, but these are far from the only components of the respiratory system. In fact, the system is composed of the following biological structures: nose and nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, lungs and the muscles of respiration. ( 1)A properly functioning respiratory system is a vital part of our good health. Respiratory infections can be acute and sometimes life threatening. They can also be chronic, in which case they place tremendous long term stress on the immune system, endocrine system, HPA axis, and much more. Anatomical Components An image of the respiratory system, showing all the major components, is shown above.1. Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity constitute the main external opening of the respiratory system. They represent the entryway to the respiratory tract – a passage through the body which air uses for travel in order to reach the lungs. The nose is made out of bone, muscle, cartilage and skin, while the nasal cavity is, more or less, hollow space."

About 1.8 L of intestinal juice is produced via osmosis and by the secretions from intestinal glands. This fluid is important for digestive and absorptive processes. The major stimulus for production of intestinal juice is distension of the intestinal mucosa by hypertonic or acidic chyme. The normal p H of intestinal juice is slightly alkaline (7.4-7.8) and is made up mainly of water but also contains some mucus and electrolytes (isotonic to the blood).

[ 1] In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. Chewing, in which food is mixed with saliva begins the process of digestion. This produces a bolus which can be swallowed down the esophagus and into the stomach. Here it is mixed with gastric juice until it passes into the duodenum where it is mixed with a number of enzymes produced by the pancreas. Saliva also contains a catalytic enzyme called amylase which starts to act on food in the mouth."

The small intestine is an important organ for digestion and absorption of nutrients. In this lesson, you will learn about the enterogastric reflex. You will also learn how intestinal movements, such as peristalsis, segmentation, and pendular movement, improve digestion and absorption. Digestion In order to maximize digestion and absorption, your digestive tract regulates how much food can enter the small intestine at one time. In this lesson, you will learn how the digestive system regulates the amount of food entering the small intestine, and how food is propelled through this section of the digestive tract. The pyloric sphincter controls the flow of chyme from the stomach into the small intestine. We previously learned that the pyloric sphincter controls the flow of chyme as it passes out of the stomach and into the small intestine. Chyme is the name given to the partially digested food mass. The pyloric sphincter is a tight valve, and, therefore, very little chyme is allowed to exit the stomach at one time."

It is often mistaken as keratosis pilaris, a common, autosomal dominant condition marked by rough, red, bumps on the skin. Pylorus Location As aforementioned, the passage is located in the upper abdomen. Pylorus Anatomy/Description It is a cone-shaped structure covered with a mucous-membrane lining that consists of the following parts: Pyloric antrum : It is the first section of the pyloric part of the stomach that closes partially or completely from the remainder of the gastrointestinal tract during digestion. It is bulgy and connects to the body of the stomach. A small groove demarcates it from the second part of the aperture. Pyloric canal : This narrow, tubular portion of the stomach ends at the gastroduodenal junction. At the end of the opening between the stomach and the small intestine, there is a compact ring of smooth muscle or valve, called pyloric sphincter. Thickening of the lower region of the pyloric canal gives rise to this structure."

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.

The oropharynx lies behind the oral cavity (mouth) and is lined with stratified squamous epithelium. The laryngopharynx (hypopharynx) has the same lining and is situated just below the epiglottis. In this area, the respiratory and digestive tubes divide. ( The larynx is located directly in front of the pharynx and is the structure through which air passes into the lungs.) Because the larynx and pharynx are so close together, a special mechanism, the epiglottis, prevents aspiration of food and fluids into the lungs when a person swallows.

The nutrition the cells of the body need to keeping growing and working must be in a simple form: amino acids, simple sugars, and fatty acids. It is the job of the digestive system to take the complex organic molecules of the foods we ingest — proteins, carbohydrates, and fats — and break them down into their simple building blocks. This process is called digestion. Once digestion has occurred, the simple molecules (nutrients) are absorbed from the digestion system by the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems and transported to cells throughout the body. DESIGN: PARTS OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEMThe digestive system may be broken into two parts: a long, winding, muscular tube accompanied by accessory digestive organs and glands. That open-ended tube, known as the alimentary canal or digestive tract, is composed of various organs. These organs are, in order, the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The rectum and anus form the end of the large intestine.

Depending upon the section of the digestive tract, it protects the GI tract wall, secretes substances, and absorbs the end products of digestion. It is composed of three layers: The epithelium is the innermost layer of the mucosa. It is composed of simple columnar epithelium or stratified squamous epithelium. Also present are goblet cells that secrete mucus that protects the epithelium from digestion and endocrine cells that secrete hormones into the blood. The lamina propria lies outside the epithelium.

Then the ilio-caecal valve, which isn't a sphincter, but mediates movement of small intestine contents into the large intestine (caecum). There are two sphincters around the anus, the external sphincter and the internal sphincter. That only adds up to six sphincters however... I would say a possible 7th one could be Houston valves of the rectum."

"text": "Intestinal Motility – Food Movement through the Small Intestine Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet There are two main types of contractions that occur in the small intestine as well as other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. These movements are known as mixing contractions and propulsive contractions. While these contractions are categorized separately, both perform similar functions. Mixing movements mainly churns food but also propels it. Propulsive movements primarily push food towards the anus but also spreads it out for allowing the digestive enzymes to mix with it. Mixing Contractions This is also known as segmentation contractions. It is triggered by the stretching of the intestinal wall as chyme (partially digested food mixed with digestive enzymes) enters small intestine. While mixing contractions also propels food through the small intestine, its main function is to churn the chyme with intestinal enzymes and mechanically break down some particles. These contractions are concentric meaning that they run around the intestine as illustrated in the diagram below. These spaced segments relax and constrict a number of times thereby “chopping” the chyme and mixing it back and forth with enzymes, mucus, water and ions in the intestine."

[ Note: From the perspective of chemistry: a process in which one substance permeates another; a fluid permeates or is dissolved by a liquid or solid. This is a part of physiological absorption. ] 3digestive system The gastrointestinal tract = alimentary canal (mouth pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and the accessory digestive structures (lips, cheeks, tongue, teeth) and glands (salivary glands, pancreas, liver) regarded as an integrated system responsible for the ingestion, mechanical and chemical breakdown, and absorption of foods.4gastrointestinal tract = GI tract = alimentary canal The mucous membrane-and smooth muscle- lined tube of the digestive system through which food passes, in which digestion takes place, and from which wastes are eliminated; it extends from the mouth to the anus and includes the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. aka - digestive tract, gut tube.5accessory structures The additional connected parts which contribute to the main function of a major organ or system; in the gastrointestinal tract, the mouth (lips, cheeks, salivary glands, tongue, teeth) and the small intestine (pancreas, liver) are associated with such collateral components.6ingestion The voluntary process of taking foods or liquids into the body by means of the mouth for digestion or absorption. aka - eating.7secretion The physiological process of synthesizing and releasing some functionally specialized substance (especially one which is not a waste) from a gland or cell; at the molecular level, a variety of processes are involved including diffusion, osmosis, passive and active transport mechanisms or exocytosis.8mixing The mechanical physiological process of combining or blending diverse ingredients or components into one mass or mixture so that constituent parts or elements are diffused among each other and coalesced.9propulsion The process of driving or propelling something forward or away; in the gastrointestinal tract, food is moved by deglutition (swallowing) and peristalsis.10motility Having the power to move; in the gastrointestinal tract, propulsive movement is powered by muscular contractions (deglutition = swallowing and peristalsis).11mechanical digestion The muscular process by which solid food is broken down into smaller particles by the chewing action of the jaws, teeth and tongue in the oral cavity and by the mixing waves created in the stomach; at the same time the food is softened and moistened by the digestive juices (saliva in the mouth, gastric juice in the stomach); reduction in the size of ingested food particles increases the surface area of the particles available to be acted upon by digestive enzymes; it does not alter the molecular structure of the nutrient molecules.12chemical digestion The physiological process by which food = nutrient molecules have their molecular structure modified by interacting with substances secreted by various digestive glands and tissues; in general, nutrient molecules are broken down into smaller constituent molecules which will be more easily absorbed in the intestines. [ Note: There is a limited amount of indiscriminant acid hydrolysis of nutrients in the stomach due to the action of gastric HCl; carbohydrates are split into di- and mono-saccharides by salivary amylase in the mouth and pancreatic amylase in the duodenum and disaccharides are split into monosaccharides by disaccharidases (brush border enzymes) in the duodenum; proteins are split into smaller peptides and ultimately into individual amino acids by pepsin in the stomach and pancreatic proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase) in the duodenum; lipids are split into glycerol and fatty acids by lingual lipase in the mouth and pancreatic lipase and phospholipase in the duodenum; nucleic acids are split into nucleotides by pancreatic nucleases and nucleotides are split into smaller constituents by nucleotidases (brush border enzymes) in the duodenum. ] 13defecation The mechanical muscular process of voiding or eliminating feces from the bowels; a complex process involving the smooth muscles of the large intestine, especially those of the sigmoid colon, rectum and anal canal; it is usually initiated consciously but coordinated by the autonomic nervous system.14List: the six processes of Digestion.

"text": "\"Digestion is the breakdown of food into smaller particles or individual nutrients. It is accomplished through six basic processes, with the help of several body fluids—particularly digestive juices that are made up of compounds such as saliva, mucus, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, bicarbonate, and bile. The six processes of digestion involve: (1) the movement of food and liquids; (2) the lubrication of food with bodily secretions; (3) the mechanical breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; (4) the reabsorption of nutrients—especially water; (5) the production of nutrients such as vitamin K and biotin by friendly bacteria; and (6) the excretion of waste products. Comprehension of the tasks or processes needed to break down food are essential to an understanding of how and when food really begins to function within the body. For example, not understanding that carbohydrates break down into glucose could lead one to believe that the best source of glucose is in liquid form such as a soft drink. This could cause one to miss out on the nutrients (and great taste) in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Likewise, not understanding the digestion process could lead a person to believe in the myth of \"\"food combining,\"\" or perhaps to think it is normal to be hungry all the time. But, in fact, the digestive processes normal to human physiology can simultaneously handle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—and allow people to go several hours between meals, especially if meals are balanced in fiber and the individual nutrients needed. GI Tract Physiology Digestion begins in the mouth with the action of salivary amylase. The food material then progresses past the esophagus and into the stomach."

"text": "Elevators and the ADA“It’s not that complicated”Prepared by: John F. Mundt, Jr. Vice President Sterling Elevator Consultants, LLCThe ADA is often mistaken for a building code, when it is in fact a civil rights act. The public accommodations and commercial facility portion of the Americans with Disabilities Act became effective on January 26, 1992. With the passing of this legislation, additional responsibilities have been placed on building owners and managers. The extent of ADA compliance requirements for existing buildings is ambiguous. Fortunately, the ADA recognizes that it is not always possible to bring existing buildings up to the standards applicable for new buildings. However, this in turn requires subjective decision making for each building. It is therefore prudent to have local authorities involved with those decisions. The Act includes an elevator exemption that does not require the owner to install an elevator in a facility that is being altered if it is less than three (3) stories, or less than 3,000 square feet per story. Buildings not covered by this exemption are a shopping center or mall, the professional office of a health care provider, a terminal, depot or other station used for specified public transportation, or an airport passenger terminal. When contemplating how and when to bring a building up to ADA standards, two important terms to understand are “public accommodation” and “readily achievable”."

"text": "Research August 3, 2016The Antideficiency Act: A Primer Gordon Gray Executive Summary [1]The Antideficiency Act (ADA) bars federal employees from spending or otherwise obligating funds to be spent in excess of amounts or for the purpose approved by Congress, accepting voluntary services, or spending or otherwise obligating funds in excess of agency spending plans. Unique to all budget laws includes potential criminal penalties, in addition to administrative sanctions, for violations. However, no one has ever been prosecuted under this statute. In the past ten years 8 federal employees have been suspended or removed from their positions for violations. Despite these possible penalties, violations continue to occur, with 197 violations reported covering more than $9.66 billion dollars – with a $1.6 billion expenditure being the largest instance. While seemingly related to budget minutiae, the ADA is remarkably broad in its influence on governance: it determines the mechanics of government shutdowns and has arisen in a diverse array of public policy areas from the Bergdahl prisoner exchange to ongoing litigation over the Affordable Care Act. Introduction Article I, section 9 of the Constitution states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” It is from this clause that Congress derives its “power of the purse,” or its prerogative over the nation’s finances. It is Congress’s most jealously guarded authority and likely the strongest check against the power of the executive branch. But these 16 words are hardly definitive and leave room for quite a bit of interpretation not often shared at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue."

For the current texts of the laws we enforce, as amended, please see Laws Enforced by the EEOC.

These interpretations have at times reinforced, and at other times forced change upon, EEOC's role as a law enforcement agency.

"text": "Elevators and the ADA“It’s not that complicated”Prepared by: John F. Mundt, Jr. Vice President Sterling Elevator Consultants, LLCThe ADA is often mistaken for a building code, when it is in fact a civil rights act. The public accommodations and commercial facility portion of the Americans with Disabilities Act became effective on January 26, 1992. With the passing of this legislation, additional responsibilities have been placed on building owners and managers. The extent of ADA compliance requirements for existing buildings is ambiguous. Fortunately, the ADA recognizes that it is not always possible to bring existing buildings up to the standards applicable for new buildings. However, this in turn requires subjective decision making for each building. It is therefore prudent to have local authorities involved with those decisions. The Act includes an elevator exemption that does not require the owner to install an elevator in a facility that is being altered if it is less than three (3) stories, or less than 3,000 square feet per story. Buildings not covered by this exemption are a shopping center or mall, the professional office of a health care provider, a terminal, depot or other station used for specified public transportation, or an airport passenger terminal. When contemplating how and when to bring a building up to ADA standards, two important terms to understand are “public accommodation” and “readily achievable”."

The ADA has grown to become the nation’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals. The ADA and its members are committed to helping the public benefit from a healthy lifestyle. To do this, the ADA focuses on five critical health areas facing all Americans: Obesity and overweight, with special emphasis on children, healthy aging, having a safe, sustainable and nutritious food supply, nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, integrative medicine, including supplements and alternative medicine.

Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 and it was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush. Within the Federal Government, there is an agency called the U. S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board . This Board, sometimes called the Access Board, is responsible for writing the guidelines which became the “safe harbor” for design and construction to be in compliance with the ADA that the Congress passes and, in this case, the 1990 ADA. On July 26, 1991, the Access Board published the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG) in the Federal Register, with an effective date 60 days later. After September of 1991, building designers and contractors to be in compliance with the ADA had to follow the Access Board’s Guidelines of July 26, 1991. And in 1990, Congress made the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) the enforcement agency for the ADA. The DOJ is required to use their standard in the enforcement of the ADA. This standard was published on July 1, 1994 and called, “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities” ."

Desirable character traits in service animals typically include good temperament or psychological make-up (including biddability and trainability) and good health (including physical structure and stamina).

Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever crossbred dogs, and German Shepherd Dogs are among the most common dog breeds working as service dogs today in the United States. Although dogs of almost any breed or mix of breeds may be capable of becoming a service dog, very few dogs have the requisite health and temperament qualities. Such a dog may be called a \"\"service dog\"\" or an \"\"assistance dog\"\", the terminology typically varying by country or region.

What Are the Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination? Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination;the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older;Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (ADA), which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments;Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government;Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), which prohibits employment discrimination based on genetic information about an applicant, employee, or former employee; andthe Civil Rights Act of 1991, which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination. The U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all of these laws. EEOC also provides oversight and coordination of all federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices, and policies. Other federal laws, not enforced by EEOC, also prohibit discrimination and reprisal against federal employees and applicants. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) contains a number of prohibitions, known as prohibited personnel practices, which are designed to promote overall fairness in federal personnel actions. 5 U. S. C. 2302. The CSRA prohibits any employee who has authority to take certain personnel actions from discriminating for or against employees or applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability. It also provides that certain personnel actions can not be based on attributes or conduct that do not adversely affect employee performance, such as marital status and political affiliation. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has interpreted the prohibition of discrimination based on conduct to include discrimination based on sexual orientation."

"text": "Politician and Legislator Salaries One of the career options available to political science degree holders is to become a politician. A politician may work at the local, state or federal government level in a variety of capacities. Usually one's level of government dictates one's salary. The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that in May 2015, the average legislator earned $42,530. Politicians who hold executive positions, such as mayor, county commissioner, or city manager had wide variations in their salaries depending upon their jurisdiction. Local government executives averaged $86,670 per year. The average city manager's salary was $84,290. The National Conference of State Legislators (NLCS) annually publishes salary surveys for State Legislators. Salaries of State Legislators varies widely from state to state, with some legislators paid on a per-day basis during legislative sessions, to others receiving a stated, fixed annual salary. Because of these variations, determining an average state legislator's salary is nearly impossible."

"text": "Non-Salary Payments Overtime This Payroll Policy Statement supersedes the following archived Notices to State Agencies: FM 95-15: Calculation of Overtime Pay and Request for Comments on Policy Change FM 95-61: Adoption of the Weekly Methodology for Overtime Pay Calculations This discussion of overtime applies to each employee who is subject to overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ( FLSA ). Overtime provisions for employees of the Legislature, the lieutenant governor or legislative agencies are also discussed in this policy statement. Background An employee is entitled to compensation for overtime as provided by federal and state law. To the extent that federal law conflicts with state law, federal law controls, regardless if federal law prescribes a stricter rule. State law says that an employee required to work hours in excess of 40 hours in a workweek is entitled to compensation for the excess hours, either by: The agency allowing or requiring the employee to take compensatory time off at the rate of 1.5 hours for each hour of overtime; or The employee receiving pay for the overtime at the rate of 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay, at the discretion of the employing agency, in cases in which granting compensatory time off is impractical. Further explanation of rate of pay is found in this policy statement at Current regular rate of pay vs. regular rate of pay when overtime earned.back to top Overtime Credit Accumulations With certain exceptions, an employee may not accumulate more than 240 hours of overtime credit that may be taken as compensatory leave. An employee engaged in any of the following activities may accumulate not more than 480 hours of overtime credit that may be taken as compensatory leave, if the accumulation does not violate 29 U. S. C. Section 207 (o) (3) (A): A public safety activity An emergency response activity A seasonal activity Note: In these instances, “overtime credit” means the number of hours computed by multiplying the number of overtime hours by 1.5 (1-1/2), per Texas Government Code, Section 659.015 (e). When employee overtime hours exceed amount of overtime credit An employee must be paid for the number of overtime hours the employee works that causes the employee to exceed the amount of overtime credit the employee may accumulate. The payment must be at 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay. Further explanation of rate of pay is found in this policy statement at Current regular rate of pay vs. regular rate of pay when overtime earned.back to top Holidays or Other Paid Leave Holidays or other paid leave taken during a workweek are not counted as hours worked in computing the number of overtime hours."

The Texas governor is probably the most visible state official and is among the highest-paid governors in the nation. The governor, however, is ranked next to last when it comes to executive powers.2. The candidates for governor must be at least 30 years of age and a U. S. citizen, and they must have lived in the state for the five years that precede the election.3. Texas governors have traditionally been white, Protestant, wealthy, conservative, middle-aged males who have significant political experience.4. Texas has elected two women to the governor’s office: Miriam Ferguson and Ann Richards.5. William Clements became the first Republican to be elected since Reconstruction, and George W. Bush became the first two-term Republican governor since Reconstruction.6. In 1974, the governor’s term was increased from two to four years; most governors are elected to serve a maximum of two terms. Rick Perry, who has served as governor since 2000, has been the longest-serving Texas governor.7."

In California, legislators are paid $104,118 per year in salary in addition to per diem costs to cover lodging, meals, and incidentals. Comparatively, New Hampshire legislators earn just $200 per two-year term without per diem. New Mexico is the only state that does not pay its legislators a salary, but lawmakers do still earn per diem. How state legislator salaries are set Salaries of state legislators are determined in four ways. Nineteen states use a commission of some kind to determine the salary of legislators. The powers of these commissions vary from non-binding reports to reports that are implemented unless voted down by the legislature, not approved by the governor, or overturned by citizen referenda. In two of the 19 states mentioned above— Arizona and Nebraska —any recommendation to change legislators' pay must be approved by voters before going into effect.

In 1891, an amendment was added to the Constitution authorizing the Legislature to establish intermediate courts of civil appeals located at various places throughout the State. The purpose of this amendment was to preclude the large quantity of civil litigation from further congest- ing the docket of the Supreme Court, while providing for a more convenient and less expensive system of intermediate appellate courts for civil cases.

Compromise of 1850The Compromise of 1850, also known as the Omnibus Bill, was a program of legislative measuresenacted by Congress to reconcile the differences existing between the North and South concerningthe issue of Slavery in newly formed Territories of the United States. The historical background of the enactment of the Compromise involved the increasingly hostilerelationship between the northern and southern states of the Union over the existence of slavery. This hostility was partly due to the reluctant enforcement by northern states of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, which established procedures for the return of runaway slaves to their owners. Thedissension was exacerbated in 1848 when the United States annexed Texas and gained newterritories under the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which brought about the end of the Mexican American War. Abolitionists continued to favor the antislavery stance of the Wilmot Proviso prohibiting slavery in the lands acquired from Mexico, which was proposed in 1846, but wasnever enacted into law. The South vehemently opposed the exclusion of slavery from the newterritories. In 1849 the request of California to join the Union as a free state resulted in heated debates on thefloor of Congress. Many viewed the situation as a grave threat to the existence of the Union. Henry Clay returned to the Senate to propose measures, based upon the ideas of stephen douglas, thatwould reconcile the different positions of the North and South."

"text": "The optic nerve (also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina . There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in each optic nerve. The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue.visual pathway As the optic nerve leaves the back of the eye, it travels to the optic chiasm, located just below and in front of the pituitary gland (which is why a tumor on the pituitary gland, pressing on the optic chiasm, can cause vision problems). In the optic chiasm, the optic nerve fibers emanating from the nasal half of each retina cross over to the other side; but the nerve fibers originating in the temporal retina do not cross over. From there, the nerve fibers become the optic tract, passing through the thalamus and turning into the optic radiation until they reach the visual cortex in the occipital lobe at the back of the brain. This is where the visual center of the brain is located. The visual cortex ultimately interprets the electrical signals produced by light stimulation of the retina, via the optic nerve, as visual images. A representation of parasympathetic pathways in the pupillary light reflex can be seen here: parasympathetic response.blind spot The beginning of the optic nerve in the retina is called the optic nerve head or optic disc . Since there are no photoreceptors ( cones and rods) in the optic nerve head, this area of the retina cannot respond to light stimulation. As a result, it is known as the “blind spot,” and everybody has one in each eye."

See anatomic Table of Nerves in the Appendices. The rods and cones of the retina are connected with the optic nerve which leaves the eye slightly to the nasal side of the center of the retina. The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye is called the blind spot because there are no rods and cones in this area. The optic nerve passesthrough the optic foramen of the skull and into the cranial cavity. It then passes backward andundergoes a division; those nerve fibers leading from the nasal side of the retina cross to theopposite side while those from the temporal side continue to the thalamus uncrossed. Aftersynapsing in the thalamus the neurons convey visual impulses to the occipital lobe of the brain. Degenerative and inflammatory lesions of the optic nerve occur as a result of infections, toxicdamage to the nerve, metabolic or nutritional disorders, or trauma. Syphilis is the most frequentcause of infectious disorders of the optic nerve."

"text": "Treating Pseudotumor Cerebri Because of the threat of blindness, it is very important for patients who have symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri to be evaluated by a specialist who has experience with this condition. Usually, the first approach to treatment for pseudotumor cerebri is with: Medications (acetazolamide or furosemide, or rarely corticosteroids)Weight loss with a low-sodium diet An aerobic exercise program The patient’s treatment plan also may include periodic lumbar punctures to remove some cerebrovascular fluid and, thus, relieve pressure on the brain. Eye Surgery Vision loss in patients with pseudotumor cerebri can come on quickly. Therefore, if your primary symptom is worsening vision, rather than headache or other symptoms, a neuro-ophthalmologist may recommend surgery to reduce the swelling in the optic nerve. This surgery is called optic nerve sheath fenestration (perforation). Sometimes this surgery is done on an emergency basis to protect your eyesight. What happens during optic nerve sheath fenestration surgery? View full image of an optic nerve sheath fenestration Both a neuro-ophtalmologist and an anesthesiologist will talk with you before the procedure to ensure you understand everything that will happen. This procedure reduces the risk of blindness, but it does not cure pseudotumor cerebri. Therefore, the surgeon also will talk with you about the need for continued follow-up treatment."

"text": "Structure and Function of the Eyes By James Garrity, MD, Whitney and Betty Mac Millan Professor of Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Overview of the Eyes The structures and functions of the eyes are complex. Each eye constantly adjusts the amount of light it lets in, focuses on objects near and far, and produces continuous images that are instantly transmitted to the brain. The orbit is the bony cavity that contains the eyeball, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, as well as the structures that produce and drain tears. Each orbit is a pear-shaped structure that is formed by several bones. An Inside Look at the Eye The outer covering of the eyeball consists of a relatively tough, white layer called the sclera (or white of the eye). Near the front of the eye, in the area protected by the eyelids, the sclera is covered by a thin, transparent membrane ( conjunctiva ), which runs to the edge of the cornea. The conjunctiva also covers the moist back surface of the eyelids and eyeballs. Light enters the eye through the cornea, the clear, curved layer in front of the iris and pupil. The cornea serves as a protective covering for the front of the eye and also helps focus light on the retina at the back of the eye."

In humans, the optic nerve is derived from optic stalks during the seventh week of development and is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and glial cells; it extends from the optic disc to the optic chiasma and continues as the optic tract to the lateral geniculate nucleus, pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus. [ 1] [2]Contents [ hide ]1 Structure2 Function3 Clinical significance3.1 Disease4 Regeneration5 Additional images6 See also7 References8 External links Structure [ edit]The optic nerve is the second of twelve paired cranial nerves and is technically part of the central nervous system, rather than the peripheral nervous system because it is derived from an out-pouching of the diencephalon ( optic stalks) during embryonic development. As a consequence, the fibers of the optic nerve are covered with myelin produced by oligodendrocytes, rather than Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, and are encased within the meninges. Peripheral neuropathies like Guillain–Barré syndrome do not affect the optic nerve. However, most typically the optic nerve is grouped with the other eleven cranial nerves and considered to be part of the peripheral nervous system. Dissection of Optic Nerve from above showing parts. Courtesy Dr. John B. Selhorst The optic nerve is ensheathed in all three meningeal layers ( dura, arachnoid, and pia mater) rather than the epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium found in peripheral nerves."

The parts of the neuron are (Fig. 16.2, p. 590): Cell body (trophic) - contains the nucleus and metabolic machinery of the cell Dendrites (receptive) - form extensions into tissues that may synapse to one or many other neurons Axon (conductive) - a long cytoplasmic process also called the nerve fiber; can transmit nerve impulses over a long distance (up to 1 m) without diminution of the amplitude of the signal Telodendria (transmissive) - the terminal branches of an axon; make contact with other neurons at synapses Ganglia - groups of neuron cell bodies that lie peripheral to the central nervous system in vertebrates The types of neurons in the body include: Bipolar neurons - cell body located near the middle of the axon; characteristic of retinal neurons Unipolar neurons - cell body lies off to one side of axon; characteristic of sensory neurons Multipolar neurons - cell body lies very close to dendrites; characteristic of motor neurons Transmission of an action potential The nerve impulse is an electrical phenomenon that passes as a wave along the surface membrane of a nerve fiber Normally the nerve cell is at resting potential, based on the concentration of sodium and potassium ions inside and outside of the cell During an action potential, the neuron goes through several steps: 1. High concentration of sodium ions outside; negative charge inside cell compared to outside 2. Axon stimulated, ion channels open causing action potential; sodium ions rush into cell, membrane potential reversed and membrane is depolarized 3. Nerve impulse travels down the axon as a wave of depolarization 4. Sodium pumped outside of cell and resting potential restored Between neurons, nerve impulse must travel across a space or synapse - the telodendria contains synaptic vesicles that contain neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine, noradrenaline, serotonin, dopamine) Neurotransmitters are released when the nerve impulse reaches the telodendria, and then cross the synaptic cleft to reach the dendrites of the next neuron in line causing the impulse to be sent by the postsynaptic nerve cell Other cells of the nervous system: Schwann cells (Fig. 16.4, p. 591) - cells of neural crest origin that form a thin sheath that surrounds an unmyelinated axon, or, after having myelinated an axon, lies on the surface of the myelin sheath - the myelin sheath acts as an insulator that increases the rate of transmission of the nerve impulse along the axon Node of Ranvier - regions of the axon that lie between the Schwann cells where the plasma membrane of a myelinated axon is close to the extracellular fluid. Neuroglia - cells in the central nervous system that help to support, protect, nourish, and maintain the neurons (Fig. 16.1, p. 590)Oligodendrocytes - neuroglial cells of ectodermal origin that myelinate axons in the central nervous system and forms the white matter of the central nervous system (unmyelinated axons are grey matter Astrocytes - star-shaped nutritive and supportive glia cells of the central nervous system Microglia - small neuroglial cells of mesodermal origin, some of which are phagocytic Neuronal circuitry The general parts of the neuronal circuitry include three basic types of neurons: Primary sensory neurons, or afferent neurons: carry impulses from free nerve endings or receptor cells into the central nervous system Motor, or efferent neurons: carry impulses from the central nervous system to effectors, such as muscles or glands Interneurons: receive signals from sensory neurons, integrate information and send signals to motor neurons Somatic fibers relate to the skin and its derivatives, and to voluntary muscles Visceral fibers related to involuntary muscles and glands of the organ systems Spinal cord and spinal nerves In the simplest reflex arc, messages from receptor organs are transferred within the spinal cord directly from afferent fibers to efferent fibers, which then send appropriate messages to effector organs The function of the spinal cord is to receive incoming impulses, integrate and coordinate them, transmit them to wherever they should go within the central nervous system, and send responses to the peripheral nervous system as appropriate The general structure of the spinal cord is best exemplified by a cross-section of the spinal cord of an amniote (Fig."

Answer by Tom Wood Confidence votes 1The \"\"blind spot\"\" in all mammals is the tiny area on the retina (light-sensing surface inside the eye) where the optic nerve exits the eye, carrying the optical signals to the brain. It is \"\"blind\"\" because there are no photoreceptors on this tiny area of the retina. In humans, the blind spot in the right eye is about 20 degrees directly to the right of that eye's central vision. In the left eye it is about 20 degrees to the left of that eye's central vision. Thus, normally the opposite eye sees what is in the other eye's blind spot and the brain fills in the missing information. Here is a simple way to demonstrate the blind spot. ( I apologize for the ... between the X and W, but formatting is limited here.) To demo the blind spot in your right eye, keep your left eye closed and look directly at the \"\"X\"\" with your right eye."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Gross Anatomy Microscopic Anatomy Functional Anatomy Show All Media Gallery References Overview The retina is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the eye. The retina functions in a manner similar to film in a camera. The optical elements within the eye focus an image onto the retina of the eye, initiating a series of chemical and electrical events within the retina. Nerve fibers within the retina send electrical signals to the brain, which then interprets these signals as visual images. [ 1]Gross Anatomy The human retina is located on the inner surface of the posterior two-thirds to three-quarters of the eye. The eye itself is a mostly hollow organ, roughly spherical in shape. In adults, the eye measures approximately 22 mm in diameter. The walls of the eye consist of the firm outermost coat, comprised of the white sclera in the posterior three-quarters of the eye and the clear cornea in the anterior one-quarter of the eye. The middle layer consists of the uveal tract made up of the choroid posteriorly and the ciliary body and iris anteriorly. The retina is the innermost layer."

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 Describe the function of the cranial nerves Key Takeaways Key Points The cranial nerves serve functions such as smell, sight, eye movement, and feeling in the face. The cranial nerves also control balance, hearing, and swallowing. The twelve cranial nerves, in order from I to XII are: olfactory nerve, optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharengeal nerve, vagus nerve, spinal accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve. The vagus nerve (X) has many branches and is responsible for tasks including heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, and muscle movements in the mouth, including speech and keeping the larynx open for breathing. Key Termsinnervate: To supply an organ or other body part with nerves.peripheral nervous system: The nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.peristalsis: A radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagates in a wave down a tube (such as the gastrointestinal tract) in an anterograde direction. Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem). In contrast, spinal nerves emerge from segments of the spinal cord. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck. Cranial Nerve Anatomy and Terminology Spinal nerves emerge sequentially from the spinal cord with the spinal nerve closest to the head (C1) emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra."

What Is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases causing optic nerve damage. The optic nerve carries images from the retina, which is the specialized light sensing tissue, to the brain so we can see. In glaucoma, eye pressure plays a role in damaging the delicate nerve fibers of the optic nerve. When a significant number of nerve fibers are damaged, blind spots develop in the field of vision. Once nerve damage and visual loss occur, it is permanent. Most people don't notice these blind areas until much of the optic nerve damage has already occurred."

Credit: Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet. Temperatures climb sharply in the lower thermosphere (below 200 to 300 km altitude), then level off and hold fairly steady with increasing altitude above that height. Solar activity strongly influences temperature in the thermosphere. The thermosphere is typically about 200° C (360° F) hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500° C (900° F) hotter when the Sun is very active than at other times. Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher.

"text": "Where can we see the northern lights? The Northern Lights, as the name suggests, are especially related to the polar regions. They occur most frequently in a belt of radius 2500 km centered on the magnetic north pole. This so-called auroral zone extends over northern Scandinavia, Island, the southern tip of Greenland and continuing over northern Canada, Alaska and along the northern coast of Siberia. The coasts of the Norwegian counties of Troms and Finnmark lay where occurrence is greatest, making northern Norway, due to its ease of access and mild winter climate, an attractive destination for people interested in observing this atmospheric phenomenon. The Northern Lights can be seen from regions both north and south of the auroral zone, but the likelihood decreases with distance. There is a corresponding auroral zone around the southern magnetic pole, but these 'Southern Lights' are largely only seen from Antarctica and the surrounding ocean. Of the populated regions in the southern hemisphere, the Southern Lights, may only be glimpsed from Tasmania and southern New Zealand. The Northern and Southern Lights occur simultaneously and are almost mirror images of each other. How often can you see the Northern Lights?"

( For a refresher on the earth's magnetic field, review What makes them happen? ) The earth's magnetic field is a modified bar magnet. The field lines become very crowded together at the north and south magnetic poles. Also, field lines are distributed fairly evenly around any small circle centered at the nearest magnetic pole. Picture by Jan Curtis, 2001Rings around the Poles The electrons that create auroras start in the outer layers of the field, where it is compressed by the solar wind. They accelerate along the field lines, converging toward the magnetic poles from all directions. This results in an oval ring around each magnetic pole where auroras occur. The north pole aurora is called the aurora borealis and the aurora at the south pole is called the aurora australis. Depending on the level of recent solar activity, there may or may not be visible auroral activity all the way around the ring."

"text": "\"Navigate Atmospheric Layers Although air is well mixed throughout the atmosphere, the atmosphere itself is not physically uniform but has significant variations in temperature and pressure with altitude, which define a number of atmospheric layers. These include the troposphere (0 to 16 km), stratosphere (16 to 50 km), mesosphere (50 to 80km) and thermosphere (80 to 640km). The boundaries between these four layers are defined by abrupt changes in temperature, and include respectively the tropopause, stratopause and mesopause. In the troposphere and mesosphere, temperature generally falls with increasing altitude, whilst in the stratosphere and thermosphere, temperature rises with increasing altitude. In addition to temperature, other criteria can be used to define different layers in the atmosphere. The ionosphere, for example, which occupies the same region of the atmosphere as the thermosphere, is defined by the presence of ions, a physico-chemical criterion. The region beyond the ionosphere is known as the exosphere. The ionosphere and the exosphere together make up the upper atmosphere (or thermosphere). The magnetosphere is the region above the Earth's surface in which charged particles are affected by the Earth's magnetic field. Another well-known layer of the atmosphere is the ozone layer, occupying much of the stratosphere."

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.

"text": "The ionosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar wind. Solar wind exists because the corona, which is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, is extremely hot and wide. Because it is so wide, a constant stream of hydrogen and helium ions, called solar wind or plasma, is able to leave the sun's gravity. The solar wind flows away from the sun and toward the Earth, where it affects the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and magnetic field. The ionosphere contains plasma and is made up of three layers. The lowest is called the D-region, reaching from 47-59 miles (75-95 km) above the surface of the Earth, and does not contain many ions. The next layer is called the E-region, reaching from 59-93 miles (95-150 km) and containing a slightly higher concentration of ions. The F-region contains the highest density of ions, and reaches from 93-621 miles above the surface. This layer of the atmosphere is important to everyday life because it allows us to send AM frequency radio waves much farther than we would be able to without it. A fairly well-known side effect though is that when the sun has released a particularly strong solar flare, AM radio may experience a blackout."

Temperatures run from a mere 5780K on the outer visible layer (the photosphere) to about 15 MILLION Kelvin in the middle! ( 0K = - 273°C)The Core The core of the sun is the the real powerhouse. With temperatures at 15 million K and a density of 160,000 Kg/m3, this is the place where the nuclear fusion that generates massive amounts of energy takes place. The Radiative Zone Between the core and the convective zone, the radiative zone extends to about 70% of the sun's radius. The energy flowing from the core through the radiative zone, traveling in a very haphazard path, losing energy in the process. The Convection Zone The convection zone is a turbulent mass of material through which the radiation cannot pass as the temperature is too low (about 2 million K at the bottom of the convection zone). The energy pouring from the radiative zone gets trapped and cannot escape, so giant convection currents are set up with hot matter rising and the cooler matter sinking. This results in large bubbles of ionised gas rising through the convection zone, reaching the surface in about 10 days."

( For immature forms see erythrocytic series .) In humans the normal mature erythrocyte is a biconcave disk without a nucleus, about 7.7 micrometers in diameter, consisting mainly of hemoglobin and a supporting framework called the stroma. Erythrocyte formation ( erythropoiesis) takes place in the red bone marrow in the adult, and in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow of thefetus. It requires an ample supply of dietary elements such as iron, cobalt, copper, amino acids,and certain vitamins. Called also red cell or corpuscle and red blood cell or corpuscle .ƒ The functions of erythrocytes include transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide. They owe theiroxygen-carrying ability to hemoglobin, a combination of an iron-containing prosthetic group (heme)with a protein (globin). Hemoglobin attracts and forms a loose connection with free oxygen, and itspresence enables blood to absorb some 60 times the amount of oxygen that the plasma by itselfabsorbs. Oxyhemoglobin is red, which gives oxygenated blood its red color. Erythrocytes are stored in the spleen, which acts as a reservoir for the blood system and discharges the cells into the blood as required."

"text": "The CBC – providing information about your health The human body is primarily made up of water and cells. Many of the cells group together to form the skin, muscles, bones and organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, etc. Such cells are stationary, staying in one place within the body. Some very special and important cells, however, move throughout the body by traveling (circulating) in the blood. These circulating cells provide oxygen to all of the stationary cells in the body, help fight infection throughout the body, and help stop bleeding after an injury. Information about these cells can provide important clues about the overall health of the body. The complete blood count, or CBC, is a lab test that provides information about these circulating cells. First, a sample of your blood is collected and sent to the lab. A lab instrument then automatically counts the number of each type of circulating cell. If results from the automated instrument are outside specified limits, a medical technologist will examine the cells closely so complete information about the cells can be provided."

Myelodysplastic syndrome primarily manifests as anemia because of reduced RBC production. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. Any kind of problem in the stem cells of the bone marrow can cause its progressive failure and decrease in the count of blood producing cells eventually resulting in low blood count. Subsequently, there is an increase in the number of immature myeloblasts which cannot form into mature RBCs. In nearly 30 percent of people with myelodysplastic syndrome, the condition may deteriorate and advance to acute myelogenous leukemia. Such progression may happen in some months or some years after the initial development of MDS. Sponsored link Myelodysplastic syndrome has no known cure. Treatment is focused on managing the adverse symptoms and preventing the onset of health complications. Bone marrow transplant can help increase the life expectancy in some patients."

(For an appointment with Dr. Kennedy in Santa Rosa, CA write to [email protected] )RBCs (Red Blood Cells)Click Here to Change Font Size The primary function of the red blood cells, or erythrocytes, is to carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and to transfer carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Oxygen transfer is accomplished via the hemoglobin contained in red blood cells. Hemoglobin combines readily with oxygen and carbon dioxide. Hemoglobin gives arterial blood its bright red color; because venous blood has a low oxygen content, it appears dark red. To enable the maximum amount of hemoglobin to be used, red cells are shaped like biconcave disks. This shape provides more surface area for the hemoglobin to combine with oxygen. Red blood cells are also able to change shape to permit passage through small capillaries that connect arteries with veins. The RBC is a count of the number of red blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood. In response to hypoxia, the hormone erthyropoietin, secreted by the kidneys, stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. The formation of red blood cells is known as erthyropoiesis."

Usually, the specialized cells in the body don't divide themselves; a small reservoir of undifferentiated stem cells (maintained for just this purpose) divides and some of the new stem cells differentiate to make more specialized cells. Specialized cells can de-differentiate and revert to stem cells sometimes, too. – Superbest Apr 1 '14 at 23:21add a comment2 Answers active oldest votesup vote7down voteaccepted In many cases cell division depends on the stage of development an organism is in. The rate of cell division is obviously much faster in a developing organism and from what I understand fully differentiated cells such as neuron and those in skeletal muscles don't divide (correct me if I'm wrong here). In early development totipotent cells (stem cells that can become anything) begin to differentiate dependent on environmental factors, turning into multipotent (partially differentiated) cells that can only lead to certain cell types."

"text": "Mechanisms There are three main mechanisms for anemia: Hemorrhage: This is due to loss of RBCs outside vessels. These anemias are usually regenerative (given sufficient time for a bone marrow response). Hemorrhage can be: Internal: Into a tissue or body cavity, such as the peritoneum. External: In this case, blood (RBC, plasma) is lost from the body, e.g. hemorrhage from the skin or into gastrointestinal, urinary, respiratory tracts. Hemolysis: This is due to destruction of RBCs within the body before they have finished their normal lifespan. These anemias are usually regenerative (given sufficient time for a bone marrow response). The RBCs are usually removed by macrophages in a process called extravascular hemolysis. The macrophages phagocytize the RBC early because the RBCs are abnormal (e.g. have antibody attached to them, are more rigid, etc) or macrophages are doing something they are not supposed to because they are excessively activated or abnormal (e.g. erythrophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma, which is a tumor of macrophages, where macrophages phagocytize excess numbers of normal RBCs). In some patients with hemolytic anemia (depending on the cause and the patient), there can be a concurrent intravascular hemolysis. This is when RBCs lyse (“pop”) in the circulation, releasing hemoglobin into plasma (hemoglobinemia) that then spills into urine (resulting in hemoglobinuria)."

( January 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Glycated hemoglobin Medical diagnostics Medline Plus 003640e Medicine 2049478LOINC 41995-2 [ edit on Wikidata]Glycated hemoglobin ( hemoglobin A1c, Hb A 1c, A1C, or Hb 1c; sometimes also referred to as being Hb1c or HGBA1C) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the three-month average plasma glucose concentration. The test is limited to a three-month average because the lifespan of a red blood cell is four months (120 days). However, since red blood cells do not all undergo lysis at the same time, Hb A1C is taken as a limited measure of three months. It is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose. Hb A 1c is a measure of the beta-N-1-deoxy fructosyl component of hemoglobin. [ 1] The origin of the naming derives from Hemoglobin type A being separated on cation exchange chromatography. The first fraction to separate, probably considered to be pure Hemoglobin A, was designated Hb A 0, the following fractions were designated Hb A 1a, Hb A 1b, and Hb A 1c, respective of their order of elution. There have subsequently been many more sub fractions as separation techniques have improved. ["
