Under the drive of arterial pressure, water and salts are filtered from the blood through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the lumen, or passageway, of the nephron, and then most of the water and the substances that are essential to the body are reabsorbed into the blood. The remaining filtrate is drained off as urine. The kidneys, thus, help maintain a constant internal environment despite a wide range of changes in the external environment.renal system: human The kidneys filter the blood and channel waste to the bladder, from which it is expelled as urine.

All rights reserved. www.qa-international.com Regulatory functions The kidneys regulate three essential and interrelated properties of the tissues—water content, acid-base balance, and osmotic pressure—in such a way as to maintain electrolyte and water equilibrium; in other words, the kidneys are able to maintain a balance between quantities of water and the quantities of such chemicals as calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and sulfate in solution. Unless the concentrations of mineral ions such as sodium, crystalloids such as glucose, and wastes such as urea are maintained within narrow normal limits, bodily malfunction rapidly develops leading to sickness or death. The removal of both kidneys causes urinary constituents to accumulate in the blood ( uremia ), resulting in death in 14–21 days if untreated. ("

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Weight loss effects of water Not to be confused with Water balance. Fluid balance is an aspect of the homeostasis of organisms in which the amount of water in the organism needs to be controlled, via osmoregulation and behavior, such that the concentrations of electrolytes ( salts in solution) in the various body fluids are kept within healthy ranges. The core principle of fluid balance is that the amount of water lost from the body must equal the amount of water taken in; for example, in humans, the output (via respiration, perspiration, urination, defecation, and expectoration) must equal the input (via eating and drinking, or by parenteral intake). Euvolemia is the state of normal body fluid volume, including blood volume, interstitial fluid volume, and intracellular fluid volume; hypovolemia and hypervolemia are imbalances. Water is necessary for all life on Earth. Humans can survive for 4 to 6 weeks without food but only for a few days without water. Profuse sweating can increase the need for electrolyte replacement. Water-electrolyte imbalance produces headache and fatigue if mild; illness if moderate, and sometimes even death if severe. For example, water intoxication (which results in hyponatremia ), the process of consuming too much water too quickly, can be fatal. Deficits to body water result in volume contraction and dehydration."

Those who are overweight will have more water compared to those who are lean. While one can survive fifty days or more without food, the body can only be depleted of water for a few days before survival is at risk. Maintaining optimum fluid balance, and not having an electrolyte imbalance, is important in achieving general good health. This is especially critical in Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (AFS), where fluid dysregulation and electrolyte imbalance are common occurrences, especially in the advanced stages. Fluid or electrolyte imbalance presents in a continuum. Conventional medicine, unfortunately, is versed mostly when fluid or electrolyte imbalance reaches extreme opposites, with severe dehydration on one extreme and a massive fluid overload at the opposite pole. Fluid overload clinically results in pulmonary edema, peripheral edema, and congestive heart failure. They are quickly resolved with administration of medications called diuretics that increase urine output to reduce body fluid load. Deficiency in fluid, or clinical dehydration, is clinically treated with fluid replacement."

A baby diagnosed with fetal macrosomia has a birth weight of more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4,000 grams), regardless of his or her gestational age. About 9 percent of babies born worldwide weigh more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces. However, the risks associated with fetal macrosomia increase greatly when birth weight is more than 9 pounds 15 ounces (4,500 grams). Fetal macrosomia may complicate vaginal delivery and could put the baby at risk of injury during birth. Fetal macrosomia also puts the baby at increased risk of health problems after birth. Symptoms Fetal macrosomia is difficult to detect and diagnose during pregnancy. Possible signs and symptoms include: Large fundal height. During prenatal visits, your health care provider might measure your fundal height — the distance from the top of your uterus to your pubic bone. A fundal height that measures larger than expected could be a sign of fetal macrosomia."

Liquid water is the most important nutrient throughout the living world [ 1628, 2011 ]. In particular, we cannot live without it for more than about 100 hours, whereas other nutrients may be neglected for weeks or months. Although commonly it is treated rather trivially, no other nutrient is as essential or needed in as great amounts. Our requirements are individual and depend on our physical activity, dietary pattern, alcohol intake, health problems, environment, and age. Water content The water content of our bodies (methodology reviewed [ 961 ]) varies and is variable between individuals, generally dropping, throughout our lives from above about 90% of total weight as a fetus to 74% as an infant, 60% as a child, 59% as a teenager (male; female 56%) 59% as an adult (male; female 50%) to 56% (male; female 47%) in the over-50’s. b The gender differences, from the teenager years onwards are due to their differing fat levels, as is the drop in the elderly who replace muscle mass with fat. There is little difference with gender or age from childhood onwards, if allowance is made for this fat content. Body water is distributed between the cells (intracellular fluid, ICF, ~59%; ~26 L in a 75 kg man, ICF, ~61%; ~19 L in a 60 kg woman [ 1499 ]) and the extracellular fluid (ECF, ~41%; ~18 L in a 75 kg man including the ~3 L of plasma, ~12 L in a 60 kg woman [ 1499 ]) (for reference values for extracellular water see [ 1204 ])."

Your lungs expel between two and four cups of water each day through normal breathing – even more on a cold day. If your feet sweat, there goes another cup of water. If you make half a dozen trips to the bathroom during the day, that’s six cups of water. If you perspire, you expel about two cups of water (which doesn’t include exercise-induced perspiration). A person would have to lose 10 percent of her body weight in fluids to be considered dehydrated, but as little as two percent can affect athletic performance, cause tiredness and dull critical thinking abilities. Adequate water consumption can help lessen the chance of kidney stones, keep joints lubricated, prevent and lessen the severity of colds and flu and help prevent constipation.

Learn More at extension.berkeley.edu75 Answers Ken Overholt, former Pharmacist & Owner at Overholt’s Pharmacy (1991-2010)Answered Nov 3, 2017The origin of the maxim, “An adult should drink eight glasses of water a day” was researched 10 or more years ago. It turns out that a military funded study was done on the hydration of mice sometime during WW II & the data from that study was scaled up for humans (soldiers) to 8 glasses a day. No humans were ever tested in this or any subsequent study done by anyone ever. While there is no proven link between that study and a proclamation in 1945 just a few years after this study by the the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council which declared that all adults and should drink 8 glasses of water a day, the coincidence is glaring. This is what today we call bad science. Different people have different needs depending on their size, health, metabolism & diet to name just a few variables. Also the local climate with its’ variables of temperature, humidity, sun exposure, etc when combined with the activity level of a person determines to a great extent the quantity of water one needs. Common sense: a person working outdoors in Arizona will need vastly more water (& salt) due to perspiration than the same person sitting in an air conditioned home watching TV or typing in an answer on Quora."

The massively increased urine output is usually accompanied by intense thirst. Description The balance of fluid within the body is maintained through a number of mechanisms. Oneimportant chemical involved in fluid balance is called antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is produced by the pituitary, a small gland located at the base of the brain. In a healthy person andunder normal conditions, ADH is continuously released. ADH influences the amount of fluid thatthe kidneys reabsorb into the circulatory system and the amount of fluid that the kidneys passout of the body in the form of urine. Production of ADH is regulated by the osmolality of the circulating blood. Osmolality refers to theconcentration of dissolved chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride; together calledsolute) circulating in the fluid base of the blood (plasma)."

"text": "Like the book says, everyone poops -- and pees -- but the question for your dog is how much? A dog's schedule for eliminating depends on several things: his age, his feeding schedule and his health. When you establish a routine with your dog, you'll get a feel for how often he urinates and has bowel movements. You'll get to know your dog so well, you'll know which walks need poop bags and which don't.credit: Kane Skennar/Photodisc/Getty Images Growing Out of Potty Breaks A puppy doesn't have full control over his bowels and bladder, which is why experts such as the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommend taking a young pup out hourly so he gets the hang of when and where to do his business. As a dog grows, the time between potty breaks usually increases until he learns to hold his business for up to 8 to 10 hours -- about an average work day for most people. Generally, a healthy adult dog will have one or two bowel movements a day, and urinate three to five times a day. Senior Dog Needs Life has a tendency to go full circle, as people and pets sometimes revert back to their old ways as they age. If your dog is in his senior years, chances are he doesn't have the same sphincter control he used to have. Urinary incontinence is leaking urine and fecal incontinence is the inability to control the bowels; in both cases, the dog simply cannot control his basic bodily functions. It's not unusual for a dog in this situation to leak urine, or even poop, when he sleeps."

Polycystic Kidney Disease Definition Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most common of all life-threatening human geneticdisorders. It is an incurable genetic disorder characterized by the formation of fluid-filled cysts in thekidneys of affected individuals. These cysts multiply over time. It was originally believed that thecysts eventually caused kidney failure by crowding out the healthy kidney tissue. It is now thoughtthat the kidney damage seen in PKD is actually the result of the body's immune system. Theimmune system, in its attempts to rid the kidney of the cysts, instead progressively destroys theformerly healthy kidney tissue. Description A healthy kidney is about the same size as a human fist. PKD cysts, which can be as small as thehead of a pin or as large as a grapefruit, can expand the kidneys until each one is bigger than a football and weighs as much as 38lb (17 kg). There are two types of PKD: infantile PKD, which generally shows symptoms prior to birth; andadult onset PKD."

What's a good water hydration calculator to determine how much water you need to drink daily to prevent chronic dehydration? A simple guideline is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half for the minimum ounces you need to drink every day. Most people aren't drinking enough to maintain optimum hydration. They are unnecessarily causing health problems that can be reversed or controlled by the intake of sufficient water. Start your day by drinking two 8-ounce glasses of Reverse Osmosis purified water as soon as you wake up. Then drink two glasses a half hour before each meal and one glass two hours after the meal. Keep a water bottle with you all day. When you exercise, experts recommend drinking 13-20 ounces before you begin and 6-8 ounces every 15 minutes during your exercise session. Regular and adequate purified water intake is essential for avoiding the metabolic complications of chronic unintentional dehydration, the primary cause of many chronic diseases."

Library of Congress Pickett’s Charge was the name given to a massive frontal assault on the Union lines on the afternoon of the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. The charge on July 3, 1863, was ordered by Robert E. Lee, and was intended to smash through the federal lines and destroy the Army of the Potomac. The long march across open fields by more than 12,000 troops led by General George Pickett has become a legendary example of battlefield heroism. Yet the attack failed, and as many as 6,000 Confederates were left dead or wounded. In the following decades, Pickett’s Charge became known as the “high water mark of the Confederacy.” It seemed to mark the moment when the Confederacy lost any hope of winning the Civil War. Following the failure to break the Union lines at Gettysburg, the Confederates were forced to end their invasion of the North, and to withdraw from Pennsylvania and retreat back to Virginia. The rebel army would never again mount a major invasion of the North. It has never been entirely clear just why Lee ordered the charge by Pickett."

In his famous address given several months later, President Lincoln was mistaken when he predicted, \"\"the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,\"\" yet perfectly accurate when he continued, \"\"but it can never forget what they did here. \"\" When armies commanded by George Meade and Robert E. Lee clashed on those first three days in July, some Gettysburg townspeople took refuge in their cellars. All around them thundered a battle so intense that the North American continent has yet to see an equal. It was a miracle, some say, that only one local resident perished in the conflict -- a young woman felled by a bullet while baking bread. In the battle's bloody aftermath, Gettysburg residents tended the wounded and dying, welcomed soldiers' relatives, shipped out the dead, rebuilt shattered barns and bullet-pierced homes. In November they extended hospitality to thousands more -- the people who came to witness the dedication of the new soldiers' cemetery and get a glimpse of their president. Lincoln's Arrival President Lincoln was the special guest of David Wills, the 32-year-old lawyer whose house faced the town square. Wills had invited Lincoln to give concluding \"\"remarks\"\" at the dedication ceremony, following the principal address by Edward Everett. Wills helped arrange the cemetery and its dedication on November 19, 1863, on land purchased by Pennsylvania to honor the Union dead."

New York City offers many attractions like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, the United Nations, Broadway Theater, museums, art galleries, thousands of restaurants and plenty of night life. I suggest you do not rent a car until you see all of the sights in the city. A car can be a liability in New York. Driving in Manhattan can be a nightmare and parking is very expensive. It is better to use the public transportation to see the city, then rent a car when you are ready to leave.

"text": "JEB Stuart, 1833-1864. Virginia Pioneers The Gettysburg Campaign is usually considered to be the bellwether campaign of the American Civil War. Many critical events occurred during the Campaign, but few were more important than the maturation of the Army of the Potomac’s Cavalry Corps. Until the spring of 1863, the Army of Northern Virginia’s mounted arm literally rode rings around its Union counterpart. In February 1863, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, the newly appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac, ordered the consolidation of the army’s mounted forces into a single corps for the first time. Those cohesive mounted forces, under competent leadership, could now face their Confederate counterparts on something approaching even terms. That maturation process reached its pinnacle during the Gettysburg Campaign. On May 15, 1863, Maj. Gen. George Stoneman, the commander of the Army of the Potomac’s Cavalry Corps, took medical leave to seek treatment for a terrible case of hemorrhoids that made every moment bouncing in the saddle a living hell."

Dedicated on July 3, 1893 at a cost of almost $11,000.00 it is without question the largest & most expensive regimental monument on the field. The memorial represents the 44th New York & (2) companies from the 12th New York Infantry Regiments & as is the case with most of the monuments the castle has a story to tell – the dimensions of the monument were purposely designed to reflect the numeric designations of the units it represents. The tower is 44 feet high & the interior chamber is 12 feet square. There is an observation deck which can be reached by climbing a circular staircase inside. Bronze plaques found inside the chamber contain a complete muster roll for each company of the regiment. This memorial was designed by Union General Daniel Butterfield who also adapted the music for “Taps” for his Brigade (the Third), First Division, Fifth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac in July, 1862. The 44th New York was raised as a memorial to Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth who was the first Union officer killed during the war.

Winfield Scott Hancock impressed his superiors and his soldiers alike. After the Battle of Williamsburg, General George B. Mc Clellan wrote to his wife, “Hancock was superb today.” “ Superb” stuck with him throughout the war. However, like many other great Civil War leaders, the public’s high regard disintegrated after the war. Today he is highly esteemed again, with memorials such as the renaming of the courthouse square in his old home town, “General Winfield Scott Hancock Square. ”Hancock graduated from West Point in 1844, 18th in a class of 25. He served in the Mexican War and was honored for his bravery at the battle of Churubusco. When the war began he was serving at Los Angeles, struggling to keep Union ammunition from Southern sympathizers."

She was the first cousin of the famed Confederate raider, CSA General Basil Duke, with whom she was raised, and a second cousin of USA General Irvin Mc Dowell. Martha was also the granddaughter of the youngest sister of Chief Justice John Marshall. This means she was closely related to Thomas Jefferson and all the Virginia Randolphs. Her maternal grandfather was Colonel Abraham Buford, a Revolutionary War hero. Image: General John Buford John Buford, Jr. was born in Woodford County, Kentucky, March 4, 1826, the first child of his father's second marriage to Anne Bannister. John's family had a long martial tradition, dating back to the family's roots in Ireland. John's father was the son of a prominent Virginia veteran of the Revolutionary War, Simeon Buford. John's mother was the daughter of Captain Edward Howe of the United States Navy. John's mother died in a cholera epidemic when he was only eight; by the time he was ten, his father had moved the family to the Illinois town of Stephenson, known today as Rock Island."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 42 - Circulation and Gas Exchange Printer Friendly Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Lecture Outline Overview: Trading with the Environment Every organism must exchange materials and energy with its environment, and this exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level. Cells live in aqueous environments. The resources that they need, such as nutrients and oxygen, move across the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. Metabolic wastes, such as carbon dioxide, move out of the cell. Most animals have organ systems specialized for exchanging materials with the environment, and many have an internal transport system that conveys fluid (blood or interstitial fluid) throughout the body. For aquatic organisms, structures such as gills present an expansive surface area to the outside environment. Oxygen dissolved in the surrounding water diffuses across the thin epithelium covering the gills and into a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries). At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses out into the water. Concept 42.1 Circulatory systems reflect phylogeny Diffusion alone is not adequate for transporting substances over long distances in animals—for example, for moving glucose from the digestive tract and oxygen from the lungs to the brain of a mammal. Diffusion is insufficient over distances of more than a few millimeters, because the time it takes for a substance to diffuse from one place to another is proportional to the square of the distance."

Animals have also developed various behaviors that help them to survive. Control Systems Humans and other highly evolved animals have developed two main systems for coordinating and synchronizing the functions of their millions of individual cells. The nervous system works rapidly by transmitting electrochemical impulses. The endocrine system is a slower system of control; it works by releasing chemical signals into the circulation. In addition to coordinating essential bodily functions, these two control systems allow the animal to react to both its external and internal environments. The Nervous System The nervous system functions by the almost instantaneous transmission of electrochemical signals. The means of transmission are highly specialized cells known as neurons, which are the functional unit of the nervous system. The neuron is an elongated cell that usually consists of three main parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and the axon. The typical neuron contains many dendrites, which have the appearance of thin branches extending from the cell body."

The bronchi ultimately branch into smaller bronchioles. Bronchioles are distinguished from bronchi in that they do not have cartilage and submucosal glands. The terminal bronchioles are the last part of the airway in which gas exchange does not occur. Terminal bronchioles lead to the respiratory bronchioles.

This allows O2 and CO2 to dissolve in water to better facilitate diffusion3) to ensure enough exchange there must be a rich blood supply present ( 760 square feet)4) The exchange surfaces should be located where incoming air can be warmed (or cooled), moistened, and filtered. This will help prevent damage to the delicate exchange surface5) there must be a mechanism for exchange of air (ventilation)It is important to remember that the respiratory system has functions that are not directly related to gas exchange. Its functions are:1) O2 and CO2 exchange from bloodstream2) vocalization3) Abdominal pressure regulation. Compression during urination ( micturation ), passing of feces ( defecation ), and childbirth ( parturition)NOTE some books tell about abdominal muscles becoming more effective when holding a deep breath. This technique may be used when lifting a heavy object (the fixed diaphragm will assist the back muscles). This is a VERY BAD technique which causes an extreme increase in blood pressure (Val Salva Maneuver)4) Protective mechanism (coughing and sneezing) to keep the passages clear Functional divisions of the respiratory system1 ) conducting divisions - includes all of the cavities and structures that transport air to and from the alveoli2) respiratory divisions - the alveoli and the gas exchange surfaces Structural divisions of the respiratory system Nasal cavity - pharynx - larynx - trachea - bronchi - bronchioles - alveoli - Lungs Nose - nose proper and the internal nasal cavity includes the nasal septum, septal cartilage, paired lateral and alar cartilages forming the nostril ( external naris)Bones associated with the nasal cavity - frontal, ethmoid , sphenoid, palatine, maxillary, conchaethe nasal cavity has 3 functions1) condition the air (warm, moisten, cleanse). Vibrissae (nose hairs) trap larger particles, mucous lining traps smaller particles2) olfactory epithelium for smell3) Resonating chamber for vocalization Pharynx - has 3 divisions1) nasopharynx2) orophrynx3) laryngopharynxnasopharynx - has a respiratory function only. It contains the pharengeal tonsils (adenoids) and Uvulaoropharynx - between the soft palate and the hyoid bone- contains the palatine and lingual tonsils1) has a respiratory and digestive functionlaryngopharynx - from the hyoid bone to the larynx, it opens into the esophagus and the larynx Larynx (voice box) from 4th to 6th cervical vertebrae The larynx has two functions:1) prevent food from entering the trachea. epiglottis - covers the glottis (laryngeal opening)2) sound production - in the larynx we find many cartilages and the vocal cords Vocal cords - vocal folds are strong bands of connective tissue1) false vocal folds support the true vocal folds2) true vocal folds produce sound."

This energy is needed to build large molecules like proteins and glycogen, make the structures in cells, move chemicals through membranes and around cells, contract muscles, transmit nerve impulses and keep the body warm. Animals get their energy from the large molecules that they eat as food. Glucose is often the energy source but it may also come from other carbohydrates, as well as fats and protein. The energy is made by the biochemical process known as cellular respiration that takes place in the mitochondria inside every living cell. The overall reaction can be summarised by the word equation given below. Charbohydrate Food (glucose) + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + energy As you can see from this equation, the cells need to be supplied with oxygen and glucose and the waste product, carbon dioxide, which is poisonous to cells, needs to be removed. The way the digestive system provides the glucose for cellular respiration will be described in Chapter 11 (\"\"The Gut and Digestion\"\"), but here we are only concerned with the two gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, that are involved in cellular respiration. These gases are carried in the blood to and from the tissues where they are required or produced. Oxygen enters the body from the air (or water in fish)and carbon dioxide is usually eliminated from the same part of the body."

"text": "£18.86Add to shopping bag2 Review (s) | Add Your Review Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)Both FAD and FADH2 are manufactured in the cells once Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) reaches the small intestine, so anyone on a good diet will be able to make FAD and FADH2 themselves so we recommend Riboflavin 5 Phosphate. If their diet is poor, we recommend that a multivitamin (nutrimax) be taken in conjunction with the Riboflavin 5 Phosphate to ensure all co-factors are present for absorption. Vitamin B2 is one of the 8 water-soluble B vitamins, meaning the body cannot store them. Riboflavin is destroyed by light and heat and in an alkaline medium. It is absorbed in the upper part of the small intestine, is increased with food and delayed on an empty stomach. There is decreased absorption in cases of gall bladder or liver disease and are associated with decreased dietary intake of meat and dairy products. Folate and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) need R5P for conversion to their bioavailable forms, Methyltetrahydrofolate and Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate respectively. The active forms (the forms in which the body uses them) of Riboflavin are synthesised in the mitochondria, forming Riboflavin 5 Phosphate which is then converted further to Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) Metabolics Vitamin B2 is in its bioavailable form Riboflavin 5 phosphate. What does Vitamin B2 do? It contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism - Vitamin B2 is required in its coenzyme form (FAD) for participation in the Citric Acid cycle to produce energy."

These are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water. It is important to consume these seven nutrients on a daily basis to build and maintain health. Deficiencies, excesses and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, scurvy, obesity, or osteoporosis as well as psychological and behavioral problems. According to the reports of the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO: 1996), more than starvation the real challenge in developing nations today is malnutrition-the deficiency of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids) that no longer allows the body to ensure growth and maintain its vital functions. We will discus about the sources, classification, importance and deficiency diseases of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals in this unit. Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, you are expected to learn about: Describe about carbohydrates, their sources, structure and classification;Explain the properties of carbohydrates, and their importance and functions in human body;Identify carbohydrates deficiency diseases;Describe about proteins, their structure, bond and classification;Explain the properties of proteins and their functions in human body;Identify the protein deficiency disease;Describe about vitamins and their classifications;Explain the properties, sources and functions of vitamins;Identify the vitamin deficiency disease;Describe about minerals and their kinds;Identify the sources and explain the function of minerals; and Recognize the mineral deficiency diseases. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the polyhydroxy organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in which the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen hydrogen is 2:1 exactly as H2O (2:1).

There are some interesting things listed and I feel I did a very good job interpreting my own results. Genova will only give information on things that are either elevated or below range, so even if you are 1 or 2 points away from being out of range, nothing is provided. The commentary results are not provided to the patient, so this is why it took so long to get them (as I had to get the doctor's office to copy them). This commentary confirms I definitely have some type of mitochondrial dysfunction especially when it comes to utilizing B vitamins. The commentary is way too long to post on here (about 12 pages), so I will quote specific parts I feel are important. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, you can read the post about my Nutr Eval results. The Nutr Eval is a comprehensive test by Genova Diagnostics which looks at urine amino acids, branched chain amino acids, organic acids and fatty acids.

Energy released is trapped in form of ATP for use by all energy-consuming activities of cell. The process occurs in two phases: First glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid & second the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to CO2 and water. Necessity of Cellular Respiration We all need energy to function. We get this energy from the foods we eat. The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration. Each cell of body involved in the process of cellular respiration. The Mitochondria The mitochondria are the engines of our cells where sugar is burned for fuel and the exhaust is CO2 & H2O. In process of cellular respiration, pyruvic acid molecules are broken down completely to CO2 & more energy released. Three molecules of O2 must react with each molecule of pyruvic acid to form 3 CO2 & 3 H2O are formed to “use up” hydrogen.

"text": "Click for larger image Electron Transport Introduction: The majority of the energy conserved during catabolism reactions occurs near the end of the metabolic series of reactions in the electron transport chain. The electron transport or respiratory chain gets its name from the fact electrons are transported to meet up with oxygen from respiration at the end of the chain. The overall electron chain transport reaction is:2 H + + 2 e + + 1/2 O 2 ---> H 2 O + energy Notice that 2 hydrogen ions, 2 electrons, and an oxygen molecule react to form as a product water with energy released in an exothermic reaction. This relatively straight forward reaction actually requires eight or more steps. The energy released is coupled with the formation of three ATP molecules per every use of the electron transport chain. Link to a complete animated version of Electron Transport - Brooks-Cole Link to: Rodney Boyer Animation of Electron Transport Pre-Initiation of Electron Transport Chain: The electron transport chain is initiated by the reaction of an organic metabolite (intermediate in metabolic reactions) with the coenzyme NAD + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). This is an oxidation reaction where 2 hydrogen atoms (or 2 hydrogen ions and 2 electrons) are removed from the organic metabolite. ( The organic metabolites are usually from the citric acid cycle and the oxidation of fatty acids--details in following pages.) The reaction can be represented simply where M = any metabolite. MH 2 + NAD + -----> NADH + H + + M: + energy One hydrogen is removed with 2 electrons as a hydride ion (H -) while the other is removed as the positive ion (H + )."

Glycolysis releases less than a quarter of the chemical energy in glucose that can be released by cells; most of the energy remains stockpiled in the two molecules of pyruvate. If molecular oxygen is present, the pyruvate enters a mitochondrion (in eukaryotic cells), where the oxidation of glucose is completed. ( In prokaryotic cells, this process occurs in the cytosol.) Our memories are damn faulty). How does pyruvate enter the mitochondrion. Upon entering the mitochondrion via active transport, pyruvate is first converted to a compound called acetyl coenzyme A, or acetyl Co A. How is the linking glycolysis and the citric acid cycle carried out? It is carried out in 3 reactions by a multi-enzyme complex. 1. Pyruvate's carboxyl group (-COO-), which is already fully oxidized and thus has a little chemical energy, is removed and given off as a molecule of CO2. ("

Although a blackbody does not really exist, we will consider the planets and stars (including the earth and the sun) as blackbodies. Even though by definition, they are not perfect blackbodies, for the sake of understanding and simplicity we can apply the characteristics of blackbodies to them. According to the above definition, a blackbody will emit radiation in all parts of the EM spectrum, but by intuition, we know that one will not radiate in all wavelengths equally. So the first thing we would like to know about blackbody radiation is in what wavelengths is radiation emited primarily. Secondly, we know that all blackbodies do not radiate energy at the same rate, certainly shown by the sun's power compared to that of the earth. Therefore, it would be beneficial to know something about the rate of blackbody emission. Fortunately for us, we can answer both questions knowing only one characteristic of an object -- temperature. Wien's Displacement Law Wien's displacement law says that the wavelength of the maximum emitted radiation is inversely proportional to the absolute (°K) temperature. If we plug in the temperatures of the earth and the sun, we will see that lambda max is 10µm and .49µm, respectively."

What makes a flag colorful tends to be a subjective decision, however. There are many flags that use eight or more colors in them, but because the majority of the colors appear in small sections of a coat of arms, it just doesn't seem that colorful. Likewise, other flags may only have three or four colors, but a complex primary design or prominent display of the colors makes the flags appear to be extremely colorful. Here are ten of the world's most colorful flags. For our purposes here, we have considered design as well as the number of colors in selecting the most colorful flags. South Africa As the only nation to use six colors in their flag's primary design, South Africa gets first place on our list of the world's most colorful flags.

We will now look in detail at solar energy and its interplay with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere. Characteristics of the Sun Image courtesy of NASA. The sun is a medium, yellow star, consisting primarily of hydrogen at temperatures high enough to cause nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei and release energy. In this state, some 120 million tons of matter--mostly hydrogen--are converted into helium on the sun every minute, with some of the mass being converted into energy. The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.

Like the crystal on your watch, your cornea serves as a protective window that allows light to enter your eye and come to focus on your retina. The cornea must remain clear for you to have good vision. Corneal disease, degeneration or scarring from injury can cause the cornea to become cloudy and blur your vision. If corneal problems make it hard for you to see well enough to perform normal activities, such as reading or driving, a corneal transplant might help restore your vision. A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. Also called keratoplasty, is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The doctors at Pepose Vision Institute are leading cornea specialists and have an excellent track record in corneal transplants.

According to Barbara Gatewood, professor emeritus of textile science in the university's College of Human Ecology, the American flag has changed considerably throughout the country's history, from the kinds of materials and colorants used in its construction, to the number and ways the iconic stars and stripes are arranged on the flag. \"\" Early American flags were made from wool, cotton, linen or silk, depending on the availability of materials and the intended use,\"\" Gatewood said. A combination of these materials also was used sometimes. A wool bunting fabric, which was produced in England, was the material of choice for early American flags, she said. This material was favored over cotton, which faded more quickly and didn't unfurl as well in the wind. However, many early American homemade flags were cotton because it was readily available. Linen was a less favorable material, although it was often used to make the stars or to sew flags because of its strength. \"\" Flags made from silk were more expensive, and thus were used in flags for military purposes and special occasions,\"\" Gatewood said. In 1865, President Lincoln signed a law requiring that the federal government purchase flag bunting only from American manufacturers, which put an end to the use of the popular English-produced wool bunting material in government flags The first synthetic dye, Perkin's mauve, was not developed until 1856, so early Americans used natural dyes to create the flag's famous red stripes and blue canton, Gatewood said. \"\""

"text": "Why are Uranus and Neptune Blue? By Niall Cubbon, Michael Dunk, Royce Meyer, Zoe Neilmeyer and Jordon Rozon Introduction It is perhaps the most commonly known thing about Uranus and Neptune that they are very blue. The other thing people know about them is perhaps that they’re cold. While this is an amusing coincidence relating to our associations between the color and temperature, they are not directly related. In this lab, we will examine and discuss a brief history of each planet, then try to understand not only what their colors are and what causes the color, but how we can tell what causes the color. A Brief History of Uranus William Herschel, an emigrant to England, discovered Uranus. Besides his job as a musician and music teacher, Herschel also took up his time studying mathematical principles of music harmony. Eventually, Herschel started to study things such as optics, which lead to Herschel and his brother developing telescopes. Using one of his telescopes initiated the research project that lead up to the discovery of Uranus in 1781. Although Herschel was given credit for the discovery of Uranus, he was not the first to view Uranus."

Lead Line The Lead Line, a device for measuring the depth of the water as well as obtaining a sample of the ocean floor, is one of the oldest of all navigating tools. The word “lead” is pronounced the same way as in “lead pencil”. It began with the oldest known boat trading peoples, the Egyptians. We have images of their river trading craft going back to about 3400 BCE. Then, as now, it was inconvenient to run aground….it could ruin your entire day just as quickly as a collision. The earliest device to measure depth was a stick. At first it was unmarked with any depth scales."

"text": "\"Magnolia sieboldii Magnolias are prized worldwide for their flowers and forms. Growing as large shrubs or trees, they produce showy, fragrant flowers that are white, pink, red, purple or yellow. Some forms are evergreen with glossy and leathery leaves and some evergreen types have buds, stems and undersides of leaves that are covered with attractive gold to copper to brown felt-like hairs. There are more than 200 species of Magnolia native to temperate, subtropical and tropical areas of southeastern Asia, eastern North America, Central America, the Caribbean and parts of South America. Many are now grown worldwide because of their beautiful flowers, shape and form. How do you know if a magnolia is right for you? Ask the following questions to help determine if you should consider a magnolia -- and if so, where best to plant it: What kind of winters do you have? The easy way to answer this question is to figure out what “zone” you live in. The U. S. is divided into zones by the USDA depending on how cold the winters are. Similar hardiness zone maps are available for Australia, Canada, China, Europe, and Japan and many other regions are developing maps."

It also should be noted that some of the flags on this page can't be considered either \"\"protest\"\" or \"\"message\"\" flags, they are rather \"\"aspiration\"\" flags. By this it is meant that it is the manner in which they are used that determines what they are. For example, a peace flag reflects an aspiration and it only becomes a protest flag when used that way, otherwise, it remains just a peace flag. The UNIA Flag UNIA Flag Variant #1 UNIA Flag Variant #2Black Liberation Flag 1920The Black Liberation Flag, also known as the Afro-American Flag, Pan-African Flag, and the UNIA Flag, is a symbol of African and African-American unity and pride. In the 1960s this flag became a symbol of Black liberation in the United States. This design was first adopted in 1920 as the official banner of the African Race at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA) held in New York City. Popularly known today as the Garvey flag, named after Marcus Garvey, it was originally known simply as the \"\"Red-Black-Green\"\" flag. This flag uses what is known as the pan-African colors (red, black and green). The red represents the blood shed in the struggle for liberation."

Colors range from pink red ruby to a vivid pigeon blood red that is regarded as the finest color for ruby. Prized for their beauty, durability, and rarity, it is the quality of the color which most determines the value of rubies. The pigeon blood red color is that of a red traffic light, a fluorescent red of high intensity. Demand for gem quality Burma Ruby has always been strong with mining records from Burma dating back almost 500 years. Officially, ruby, jade, and other gems are Burma’s (Myanmar's) fifth-largest export, but government statistics are notoriously unreliable. Official ruby gem and jade sales are sold at Myanmar’s gem auctions, but hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gems leak across borders to China, Thailand, and India every year, selling at open market prices. Burmese Rubies are considered the best, for one simple reason - their color. The most famous localities for Burma Rubies are in the districts around Mogok in northern Burma and at Mong Hsu about 250km east of Mandalay. Rubies tend to have significant inclusions, so eye clean specimens are rare."

You made the commitment and purchases needed to start a saltwater aquarium. Now you have arrived at the point where you can begin populating your tank with all those eye catching corals. But now is the moment you need to show maximum restraint! There is a saying among reef hobbyists that “Only bad things happen quickly in a reef tank.” Successful reef keeping requires keeping your inhabitants happy – but book knowledge is not the same as the actual experience… Do yourself a favor and start out with some “easier” to keep corals that are going to be a bit more forgiving while you learn the ins and outs of maintaining a tank. The species listed here are hardy, easy to care for, affordable, can survive most beginners’ mistakes and still provide an incredible amount of beauty. One further benefit to these species is they will populate quickly, and thus fill your tank with life and color sooner than many tough to maintain species. Soft Corals MUSHROOM CORALS Genus: Actinodiscus (act-in-o-disk-us ) or its synonym Discosoma (dis-co-som-ah): Common names also include Bullseye Mushroom, Flower Coral, Mushroom, Mushroom Anemones, and Disc Anemones.

"text": "South America Description South America History It is theorized that the continent of South America emerged when the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart, some hundreds of millions of years ago. This theory states that throughout the Paleozoic Era and the Mesozoic Era, South American and Africa shared the same land. It is because of this fact that modern-day Africa and South America share many of the same fossils and rock types. Historians believe that the earliest inhabitants of South American land were people who had crossed over from the Bering Strait to reach North America. Over the years, these humans eventually settled in South America. There are some anthropological signs that point back to humans inhabiting South America since at least the year 9000 BCE. Throughout South America's early history of human inhabitants, it was widely an agrarian society, meaning that its residents survived off of the land, using staples such as fish and beans for food. Animals like llamas and alpacas were also domesticated around this time. From this agrarian society, early civilizations were born. Out of the settlements that we are today aware of, the earliest ones were in what is today modern day Peru."

The first is by area and another is by population. By area, Asia is the largest continent at 44,391,162 square km. It is also the largest by population with more than 4 billion people. There is quite a bit of debate as to how many continents there are. Some areas of the world combine Asia and Europe into one continent called Eurasia. In that case, the continent of Eurasia would be the biggest continent in both area and population. The debate as to how many continents there are is based in the basic, yet confusing definition of what a continent is. A continent is understood to be large, continuous, discrete mass of land, ideally separated by an expanse of water. Many of the seven most commonly recognized continents identified by convention are not discrete landmasses separated by water."

"text": "\"What is a Continent? As defined by Sayre (1998), a continent is one of the largest landmasses riding on one or more tectonic plates and provides us a surface to live on. In the very beginning, the earth was hot and liquid. The floating material on the surface cooled and became solid, ultimately assuming the shape of a continent. [ 1]Pangaea and Panthalassa – Supercontinent & Super Ocean The seven continents, as you know today, were not present by default with the creation of the earth. About two hundred and fifty million years ago, there was only one supercontinent, Pangaea, with only one super ocean surrounding it, Panthalassa. Then how did the seven continents come into existence as you see them today? The single large continent Pangaea was broken apart due to the movement of tectonic plates. The tectonic plates kept moving apart and brought the 7 continents of the world into the present arrangement. Concerning tectonic plates, these are huge slabs of the earth’s crust floating on the hot melted rock below."

Physiographically, it is the northwestern peninsula of the larger landmass known as Eurasia (or the larger Afro-Eurasia ); Asia occupies the eastern bulk of this continuous landmass and all share a common continental shelf. Europe's eastern frontier is delineated by the Ural Mountains in Russia. The southeast boundary with Asia is not universally defined, but the modern definition is generally the Ural River or, less commonly, the Emba River. The boundary continues to the Caspian Sea, the crest of the Caucasus Mountains (or, less commonly, the Kura River in the Caucasus ), and on to the Black Sea. The Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles conclude the Asian boundary. The Mediterranean Sea to the south separates Europe from Africa. The western boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. Iceland, though on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and nearer to Greenland ( North America) than mainland Europe, is generally included in Europe for cultural reasons and because it is over twice as close to mainland Europe than to mainland North America."

A typical neuron consists of a cell body, containing the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm; several short radiating processes (called dendrites); and one long process (called the axon), which terminates in twiglike branches and may have branches projecting along its course. Cell Body In many ways, the cell body is similar to other types of cells. It has a nucleus with at least one nucleolus and contains many of the typical cytoplasmic organelles. It lacks centrioles, however. Because centrioles function in cell division, the fact that neurons lack these organelles is consistent with the amitotic nature of the cell. Dendrites and Axons An axon is a long, hair-like extension of a nerve cell that carries a message to another nerve cell. Dendrites are thread-like extensions of the cytoplasm of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. Typically, as in multipolar neurons, dendrites branch into treelike processes, but in unipolar and bipolar neurons, dendrites resemble axons. Glial Cells Glial (Neuroglial) cells do not conduct nerve impulses, but, instead, support, nourish, and protect the neurons."

These cells tend to subserve sensory functions. Bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body and are associated with the retina, vestibular cochlear system, and olfactory epithelium; these cells are commonly interneurons. The third type of neuron is the multipolar neuron, which has many processes, but only one axon, extending from the cell body.

Neural tissue consists of two cell types: nerve cells, or neurons (nu'ronz), and neuroglia (nu-rog'le-ah) or glial cells. Neurons are specialized to react to physical and chemical changes in their surroundings. Small cellular processes called dendrites (den'dritz) receive the input, and a longer process called an axon (ak'son) or nerve fiber carries the information away from the cell in the form of bioelectric signals called nerve impulses (fig. 10.1). Nerves are bundles of axons. Neuroglia were once thought only to fill spaces and surround or support neurons. Today we know that they have many other functions, including nourishing neurons and perhaps even sending and receiving messages. An important part of the nervous system at the cellular level is not a cell at all, but the small spaces between neurons, called synapses (sin'aps-ez).

The White matter and Peripheral Nerves The white matter in the central nervous system is formed of nerve tracts, which consist of:- Mainly myelinated nerves of various diameters- Oligodendrocytes- Fibrous astrocytes- Occasional microglia Peripheral nerves consist of:- Myelinated or unmyelinated nerve fibres- Schwann cells- Connective tissue forming the Endoneurium – surrounding individual nerve fibres Perineurium –surrounding bundles of nerve fibres Epineurium –surrounding the whole nerve There are two types of nerve fibre: Myelinated nerve fibres These consist of:- A central axon- A myelin sheath The myelin sheath is interrupted at intervals by nodes of Ranvier. The segment of myelin between one node and another is an internode, and is formed by:- A Schwann cell in the peripheral nervous system – one Schwann cell forms an internode- An oligodendrocyte in the central nervous system – one oligodendrocyte forms the internodes of several axons Stages in the formation of myelin:- An axon invaginates into a Schwann cell cytoplasm, suspended in it by a mesaxon (two layers of plasma membrane)- The mesaxon elongates and spirals around the axon, each turn forming a lamella of myelin- The cytoplasm and extracellular space between each turn of mesaxon are reduced to a minimum, and very closely packed In the fully formed myelin, each spiral lamella consists of A major dense line (dark line) formed by the closely apposed cytoplasmic faces of the plasma membrane, and measuring 2.5nm thick A minor dense line (pale line) formed of the closely apposed external faces of the plasma membrane, and measuring 10 nm thick At the node of Ranvier- The axon is devoid of myelin and is covered by a glycoprotein coat (glycocalyx), rich in sialic acid- The lamellae of myelin end on the axon in a staggered fashion- The ends of the lamellae are distended by a small amount of cytoplasm replacing the major dense line Schmidt-Lanterman clefts or incisures:- Occur at intervals along the myelin sheath- Appear under the light microscope as “clefts” in the myelin- Are formed by a small amount of cytoplasm replacing the major dense line between the lamellae- Maintain cytoplasmic continuity of the myelin with the Schwann cell or oligodendrocyte.- Are spirally oriented for convenience of packing, to even out the bulges formed by the concentric turns containing cytoplasm.2. Unmyelinated nerves These consist of axons that are invaginated into a Schwann cell or oligodendrocyte. Unmyelinated nerves are the smallest nerve fibers with a diameter of 1 m m or less In the CNS unmyelinated nerves are very few and probably restricted to small internuncial neurons with short axons. In the peripheral nervous system unmyelinated nerves occur at three main sites:a) the axons of post-ganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system, in which several axons invaginate individually into a Schwann cell, and each axon is surrounded by a mesaxonb) olfactory nerves in which bundles of axons are invaginated into the Schwann cell cytoplasm, and a whole bundle shares a common mesaxonc) some sensory nerves subserving pain and temperature Classification of Nerve Fibers Nerve fibers are classified according to fiber diameter, which is also related to conduction speed and functional location.

Experimental- Experimentally-induced degeneration was used extensively to map out the nuclei and nerve tracts in the central nervous system and their connections- Damage to nuclei and following nerve tract to their terminations- Damage to nerve tracts and observing chromatolysis in nuclei2. Practical- Degenerative diseases of the nervous system, whether involving neuronal cell bodies or their axons constitute very important diseases, causing severe disability- Trauma to the nervous system involves nerve and neuronal degeneration."

"text": "Print Science How information is passed through the nervous system Page:1 2Next Neurons carry electrical signals, and are connected by synapses. Neurons Neurons carry signals from one place to another, around the many parts of the nervous system. They connect sense receptors to the central nervous system and also connect one part of the nervous system to another, for example in the brain and spine. They also carry signals from the nervous system to effector organs, such as muscles and glands. When neurons are stimulated they transmit an electrical impulse. The diagram below shows a motor neuron. It has a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm. The cytoplasm forms a long fibre that is surrounded by a cell membrane. This is called an axon. The axon carries the electrical impulse and is protected by a fatty sheath - a bit like the plastic coating around an electrical wire."

However for this exercise we’ll look at only the ones reviewed by us and there is at least one designed by a vape famous dude The below ‘best of’ list is taken from atomizers we’ve used, reviewed and thought worthy of your hard earned cash. Menu: Best RDA’s and RTA’s for Flavour Best RDA’s and RTA’s for Clouds Best RDA’s and RTA’s for MTLBest RDA’s and RTA’s for Beginners (Ease of Build)What is interesting looking back at our reviews is that flavour seems key to recent releases with cloud production taking a back seat which in my opinion is a move in the right direction. Do let me know your thoughts on that statement in the comments below – Flavour or Clouds or Both You might want to bookmark this article as I’ll endeavour to update as and when more RBAs are reviewed and/or released.

"text": "\"Top 10 Great Actors Who Made Awful Batman Villains18By Orrin Konheim on November 21, 2011 Movies & Television Aside from being a sublimely ridiculous TV series, Batman (the 1960’s version) was the prime destination for actors who would often be cast as villains. Enticed by the chance to ham it up and be a part of pop culture, serious actors such as Anne Baxter, Ida Lupino, Tallulah Bankhead, Victor Buono, Rudy Vallee, Burgess Meredith and Maurice Evans all appeared on the show. Even though everything about the show was, by all accounts, absurd, there were still many famous actors who appeared on the show and seemed absurd even by the standards of the show. With that in mind, we present the top 10 great actors who made awful Batman villains.10. Joan Collins as The Siren Originally paired with the Riddler, Collins made enough out of the part that she wasn’t an altogether unwelcome choice to return to her role in the 3 rd season. Even though cheesy villains were the norm on the show, Collin’s Siren pushed the boundaries of cheesiness. The Siren was a singer who could immobilize everyone by singing 3 octaves above middle C and her henchman Andante and Allegro wore earmuffs while she sang. The main problem was that Collins’ singing was clearly a sound effect. It might have helped if they put a musical star in the role so her singing could have been highlighted. After all, the show never shied away from shamelessly building villains around musical celebrity personas to boost ratings (see examples 6 and 1)."

"text": "This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. As storm season arrives, you may occasionally hear warning sirens alerting you to severe weather, but what do the sirens mean? According to the Quad City Metro area outdoor warning system guidelines, sirens go off for tornadoes, thunderstorms accompanied by winds of 70 mph or higher, or hail that is golf ball sized or larger. All alerts will be sounded by city or county officials when they receive word that severe weather is approaching. No matter the kind of weather, sirens will sound with the same tone in each community. Sirens may be sounded multiple times for the same severe weather threats. There is no all-clear signal from sirens. If you hear a siren, the best reaction is to go indoors and tune in to local media for information. You may not be able to hear a siren if you are indoors."

Well he wasn’t wrong. Coffee is the universal mood uplifter. The holy nectar that helps many across the world get through the monday blues. But did you know some interesting coffee facts? • An Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi noticed that whenever his goats munch on coffee berries they become euphoric and decided to try some of the berries himself- this is how the original cup of coffee was born. • The majority of coffee is produced in Brazil, it produces 40% of the world’s coffee. • In terms of Coffee consumption, Finland is regarded as the world’s coffee king followed by Norway, Iceland, Denmark and the Netherlands among the top five respectively. And when we talk about coffee, one thing that definitely comes to any coffee lover’s mind is ‘Starbucks’- one of the world’s finest coffee. Starbucks is a global coffee giant, which was founded in 1971 as a local coffee bean retailer."

Answer by Danni-zee Confidence votes 5The Sirens were young and beautiful bird-woman in Greek Mythology who lured sailors onto the rocks to their death with their enchanting voices. They are most famous for being in Homer's Odyssey where they tried to lure Odysseus on his way home from Troy. He made ear plugs for his crew with beewax and told his crew to tie him to the mast of the ship. when Odysseus begged his crew to let him down they could not hear him. The Fates were three goddesses who controlled the thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. There names were: Clotho: She spun the thread of life from her onto her spindle. Lachesis: She measured the thread of life with her rod, deterimining how long someone was to live. Atropos: She was the cutter of the thread of life."

The sirens are uni-directional and rotating for maximum coverage. Within these areas, readings of 70 decibels or more are likely at locations out-of-doors. If there is a power outage, each siren will operate off of a battery system that can last for an extended period of time without electricity, and then will be recharged once electricity has been restored. The sirens are activated by a radio signal sent from the encoder located in the Eastland Fire Department. The software used, continuously monitors the system, and reports back to the Fire Department if there is any problem with any of the sirens.

Lesser sirens lack hind limbs and have front limbs that have 4 toes on each foot. ( In contrast, dwarf sirens, Pseudobranchus spp. have 3 toes on each foot, and the Amphiumas have 4 small legs.) Juvenile lesser sirens have red to yellow colors banding the head and (except for Siren i. intermedia) all have distinct stripes running down the body. As the siren grows older these patterns fade until the plainer adult coloration is reached. Sexually mature lesser sirens have a dorsal pattern that is usually an olive green to grayish blue or black. Some individuals may have scattered spots on the dorsal surface. The ventral surface is usually lighter in color, tending more towards a light gray color. Lesser sirens can range in size from 7 to 27 inches (17 - 69 cm) depending on the subspecies."

Answer by Lime Aid Confidence votes 52.2KWhen he kills his sister as a young boy, at the very beginning of the first Halloween, the mask he wears is part of his clown costume. Fifteen years later, when he escapes the asylum and comes back to his home town, Haddonfield, he steals his mask (along with some rope and some knives) from the local hardware store. This is not depicted in the movie, however: it is something the sheriff tells his daughter, Annie, and the main character, Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis). Annie and Laurie are driving around, smoking a joint, when they run into Annie's father in front of the hardware store. He tells them that it was probably a bunch of kids who did it. The original mask is a Cpt. Kirk mask painted white. If you look closely, it does resemble him quite a bit."

"text": "Return on Assets ROA Calculator (Click Here or Scroll Down)Bookmark Share |The return on assets formula, sometimes abbreviated as ROA, is a company's net income divided by its average of total assets. The return on assets formula looks at the ability of a company to utilize its assets to gain a net profit. Net income in the numerator of the return on assets formula can be found on a company's income statement. Net income is the amount earned by a company after subtracting out the expenses incurred, including depreciation and taxes. Average total assets in the denominator of the return on assets formula is found on a company's balance sheet. The average of total assets should be used based on the period being evaluated. For example, if an investor is calculating a company's 2015 return on assets, the beginning and ending total assets for that year should be averaged. ROA Formula vs. Asset Turnover Ratio The distinct difference between return on assets and asset turnover is that the return on assets considers net income and asset turnover considers revenues. By using net income instead of revenues, the return on assets formula factors in a company's expenses. The asset turnover ratio can be used to calculate return on assets with the following formula Net Profit Margin is revenues divided by net income and the asset turnover ratio is net income divided average total assets."

Jan was hired as the company's chief financial officer, and she brought on a team of analysts to review the company's financial health. She calls a meeting and tells the analysts they will calculate financial ratios and analyze the results. Financial ratios are a combination of two or more line items from financial statements joined by a mathematical operation. The first financial ratio she mentions is the total asset turnover ratio, which is calculated by taking net sales/total assets. It tells us how efficiently a business is using its assets to generate sales. For the rest of this lesson, we'll further explore the components of the total asset turnover formula and discuss how to analyze the ratio."

The higher the current ratio is, the more capable the company is to pay its obligations. Current ratio is also affected by seasonality. If current ratio is bellow 1 (current liabilities exceed current assets), then the company may have problems paying its bills on time. However, low values do not indicate a critical problem but should concern the management. One exception to the rule is considered fast-food industry because the inventory turns over much more rapidly than the accounts payable becoming due."

"text": "Finance > Financial Ratios Financial Ratios Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation. Most ratios can be calculated from information provided by the financial statements. Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's financials to those of other firms. In some cases, ratio analysis can predict future bankruptcy. Financial ratios can be classified according to the information they provide. The following types of ratios frequently are used: Liquidity ratios Asset turnover ratios Financial leverage ratios Profitability ratios Dividend policy ratios Liquidity Ratios Liquidity ratios provide information about a firm's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations. They are of particular interest to those extending short-term credit to the firm. Two frequently-used liquidity ratios are the current ratio (or working capital ratio) and the quick ratio. The current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities: Current Ratio=Current Assets Current Liabilities Short-term creditors prefer a high current ratio since it reduces their risk. Shareholders may prefer a lower current ratio so that more of the firm's assets are working to grow the business."

"text": "Profitability Ratios: Net Profit Margin, Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE)The best measure of a company is its profitability, for without it, it cannot grow, and if it doesn't grow, then its stock will trend downward. Increasing profits are the best indication that a company can pay dividends and that the share price will trend upward. Creditors will loan money at a cheaper rate to a profitable company than to an unprofitable one; consequently, profitable companies can use leverage to increase stockholders' equity even more. The common profitability measures compare profits with sales, assets, or equity: net profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity. Although most financial services publish these ratios for most companies, they can be calculated independently by using net profit and total revenue from the Income Statement of a company's financial report, and total assets and stockholders' equity from the Balance Sheet. Note that since the Income Statement of a financial report shows the result from a time period, usually 1 year, whereas the Balance Sheet shows the state of a company at a particular time, usually at the end of the company's fiscal year, balance sheet totals, such as total assets and stockholders' equity, are averaged by adding the total at the beginning of the fiscal year to the total at the end, then dividing by 2. More accurate results, especially for highly seasonal businesses, can be obtained by averaging quarters or months. Net Profit Margin The net profit margin is equal to the net profit (aka net income) after taxes and excluding extraordinary items divided by total revenues. Net Profit Margin Formula Net Profit Margin = Net Profit after Taxes Total Revenues Example—Calculating the Net Profit Margin of Microsoft For its fiscal year 2008, Microsoft (MSFT) earned net income of $17,681,000,000 on $60,420,000,000 of total revenue. Since net profit margin is a ratio, we don't have to worry about the last 6 zeros, so we find that: Microsoft Net Profit Margin = 17,681 / 60,420 ≈ 29.26%Microsoft's profit margin is much higher than for most other businesses, because it can charge high prices for its 2 monopoly products, Windows and Office."

"text": "Definition: Total asset turnover is a financial efficiency ratio that measures the ability of a company to use its assets to generate sales. The total asset turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the net sales by the average total assets. What Does Total Asset Turnover Ratio Mean? Unlike other turnover ratios, like the inventory turnover ratio, the asset turnover ratio does not calculate how many times assets are sold. Instead, it looks at how efficiently assets are used. Since company assets require a great deal of investment, management spends much of its time deciding what assets to purchase and when assets should be purchased or leased. Assets play a crucial role in a business’ ability to earn and generate income. For instance, a manufacturing plant wouldn’t be able to manufacture products without proper machinery and manufacturing equipment. Example Management uses the total asset turnover to judge how efficiently the company is using its assets to generate income. The numerator in the equation shows the income generated and the denominator shows the total assets used to generate the revenue."

"text": "\"The yields on U. S. Treasuries have been at or near record lows for years, thanks to the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates around zero since 2008. Yield-starved investors have been forced to look elsewhere for performance, including the junk bond/high-yield bond space, where yields are often three or four times higher than Treasury yields. Interest rates won't stay low forever, and there is widespread speculation that a rate increase could arrive in December 2015 or early 2016. This could be bad news for high-yield exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds, since investors could find more attractive returns with safer investments. The attractive aspect of junk bond ETFs is their liquidity and diversification, which individual bonds don't offer. However, junk bond mutual funds tend to be even more diversified, and funds of all stripes can be very volatile (they are still equities, after all). Many of the exciting ETFs in the high-yield segment are very young and illiquid – and should probably be complemented with limit orders – though some larger and more established funds are worth considering. Each of the following ETFs was selected with the expectation of rising interest rates in 2016.

"text": "\"Print Friendly Version DOWNLOAD PDFBy Cletus C. Coughlin , Michael R. Pakko , William Poole In recent years, the U. S. external deficit has attracted considerable attention from academics, policymakers and the media. One manifestation of recent trends that has raised concerns is a growing trade deficit—the difference between U. S. exports and imports of goods and services. More generally, it is useful to consider the broader concept of the current account, which includes earnings on investments, as well as trade in goods and services. As shown in the figure below, the U. S. current account deficit has been increasing as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) since the early 1990s, with the present deficit exceeding 6 percent.. 1When a country runs a current account deficit, its purchases of goods and services from abroad exceed its sales of goods and services to foreign buyers. At the same time, the country is necessarily selling assets to foreigners, net of its purchases of assets abroad, in an amount equal to the current account deficit. Consequently, as current account deficits have accumulated over time, the net international investment position of the United States—the difference between U. S.-owned assets abroad and foreign-owned assets in the United States—has also grown ever larger. In light of these trends, a fundamental question is: How dangerous is the current account deficit? As a practical matter, the U. S. net international investment position cannot become ever more negative as a percentage of GDP. In fact, economic theory suggests that it's likely that today's current account deficits will need to be trimmed or reversed over the long run. The question is not whether the U. S. current account deficit will narrow in the future but whether the inevitable adjustment is likely to be painful and disruptive of economic growth and stability—a \"\"hard landing\"\" precipitated by a dramatic decline in the foreign exchange value of the dollar as investors shun dollar-denominated assets."

In terms of the profitability most relevant to investors, these measures are actually only the top half of the ultimate profitability fraction. See, businesses – at least the ones that survive – are ultimately about efficiency: squeezing the most out of limited resources. Comparing profits to revenue is a useful operational metric, but comparing them to the resources a business squeezed to earn them cuts to the very feasibility of a business’ existence. Return on Assets (ROA) is the simplest of such corporate bang-for-the-buck measures. It’s found in virtually all financial analysis textbooks, but it has a few pitfalls that investors need to know about. ROA: Good for Banks, Possibly Flawed for Normal Companies The most common formula for ROA is this: Higher ROA indicates more asset efficiency. For example, pretend Spartan Sam and Fancy Fran both start hot dog stands. Sam spends $1,500 on a bare-bones metal cart, while Fran spends $15,000 on a zombie apocalypse-themed unit, complete with costume. Assuming – mildly unrealistically, but play along – those were the only assets each deployed, if over some given time period Sam had earned $150 and Fran had earned $1,200, Fran would have the more valuable business but Sam would have the more efficient one."

Net Sales Sales represent the income generated by a company for selling its products or performing its services. Net sales are used instead of gross sales when calculating this ratio, because net sales account for returns and discounts. Returns involve customers returning merchandise at some point after making the purchase and are common in the retail industry. Discounts can be found in almost any industry that offers coupons or promotion for products or services.

"text": "\"Sharpe ratio From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In finance, the Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Definition2 Use in finance3 Tests4 History5 Examples6 Strengths and weaknesses7 See also8 References9 Further reading10 External links Definition [ edit]Since its revision by the original author, William Sharpe, in 1994, [2] the ex-ante Sharpe ratio is defined as:where is the asset return, is the risk free rate. is the expected value of the excess of the asset return over the benchmark return, and is the standard deviation of the asset excess return. The ex-post Sharpe ratio uses the same equation as the one above but with realized returns of the asset and benchmark rather than expected returns - see the second example below. The Sharpe ratio is similar to the Information ratio but, whereas the Sharpe ratio is the 'excess' return of an asset over the return of a risk free asset divided by the variability or standard deviation of returns, the information ratio is the active return to the most relevant benchmark index divided by the standard deviation of the 'active' return or tracking error. Use in finance [ edit]The Sharpe ratio characterizes how well the return of an asset compensates the investor for the risk taken. When comparing two assets versus a common benchmark, the one with a higher Sharpe ratio provides better return for the same risk (or, equivalently, the same return for lower risk). However, like any other mathematical model, it relies on the data being correct. Pyramid schemes with a long duration of operation would typically provide a high Sharpe ratio when derived from reported returns, but the inputs are false."

Last updated Wed 20 December 2017By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by Nancy Choi, MDSymptoms Treatment Diet Causes Diagnosis Outlook A peptic ulcer is a sore that forms when digestive juices wear away the lining of the digestive system. A peptic ulcer can occur in the lining of the stomach, duodenum, or lower part of the esophagus. Symptoms can include indigestion-like pain, nausea, and weight loss. Globally, it is estimated that up to 10 percent of adults are affected by peptic ulcers at least once in their lifetime. In the United States, around 500,000 people develop a peptic ulcer each year. When a peptic ulcer affects the stomach, it is called a gastric ulcer, one in the duodenum is called a duodenal ulcer, and an esophageal ulcer is an ulcer in the esophagus. The most common causes are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

A more recent article on gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children is available. See patient information handout on gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children, written by the author of this article. Gastroesophageal reflux is a common, self-limited process in infants that usually resolves by six to 12 months of age. Effective, conservative management involves thickened feedings, positional treatment, and parental reassurance. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a less common, more serious pathologic process that usually warrants medical management and diagnostic evaluation. Differential diagnosis includes upper gastrointestinal tract disorders; cow's milk allergy; and metabolic, infectious, renal, and central nervous system diseases. Pharmacologic management of GERD includes a prokinetic agent such as metoclopramide or cisapride and a histamine-receptor type 2 antagonist such as cimetidine or ranitidine when esophagitis is suspected. Although recent studies have supported the cautious use of cisapride in childhood GERD, the drug is currently not routinely available in the United States."

The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is stomach pain. Peptic ulcers include: Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion of your small intestine (duodenum)The most common causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of aspirin and certain other painkillers, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox, others). Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers. However, they can make your symptoms worse. Ulcers A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of your stomach, small intestine or esophagus. A peptic ulcer in the stomach is called a gastric ulcer. A duodenal ulcer is a peptic ulcer that develops in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

D., Spartanburg Family Medicine Residency Program, Spartanburg, South Carolina Am Fam Physician. 2007 Feb 1;75 (3):351-358. One half of the world's population has Helicobacter pylori infection, with an estimated prevalence of 30 percent in North America. Although it is unclear whether eradication of H. pylori improves symptoms in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia, there is strong evidence that eradication of this bacteria improves healing and reduces the risk of recurrence or rebleeding in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer. A “test-and-treat” strategy is recommended for most patients with undifferentiated dyspepsia. With this approach, patients undergo a noninvasive test for H. pylori infection and, if positive, are treated with eradication therapy. This strategy reduces the need for antisecretory medications as well as the number of endoscopies. The urea breath test or stool antigen test is recommended."

"text": "Home » Indigestion »Perforated Duodenal Ulcer Symptoms and Treatment Options A peptic ulcer is a sore that affects the lining of various tissues within the digestive system. One of the most common places that they occur is the duodenum, which is the upper region of the small intestine. Aptly named of course, an ulcer that is found in this region is referred to a duodenal ulcer. Web MD points out that while previously considered to be caused by stress and spicy foods, a bacterium known as H Pylori is most often to blame along with overuse of nonprescription pain relievers. Typical peptic ulcer symptoms include heartburn, abdominal discomfort and stomach bloating. Most commonly, the symptoms of a peptic ulcer include heartburn like sensations, vomiting and nausea and abdominal pain. In the case of a gastric ulcer, which is one that is found in the stomach as opposed to the higher duodenum, symptoms may also include changes in stool color and indigestion like symptoms. These other location specific ulcers can also be caused by tumors of the cells in the stomach that produce acid, known as gastrinomas. A perforated duodenal ulcer can occur when symptoms have gone unchecked and the condition has gone untreated. The condition is characterized by a hole in the wall of the duodenum (in the case of this particular type of peptic ulcer although the perforation occurs elsewhere for other forms)."

He or she may look for H. pylori using a blood, stool or breath test. The breath test is the most accurate. Blood tests are generally inaccurate and should not be routinely used. For the breath test, you drink or eat something containing radioactive carbon. H. pylori breaks down the substance in your stomach. Later, you blow into a bag, which is then sealed. If you're infected with H. pylori, your breath sample will contain the radioactive carbon in the form of carbon dioxide."

However, they have onlyan adjunctive role in the healing of esophagitis, management or prevention of complications, or maintenance therapy. European studies show that promotility drugs, such as cisapride, more effectively improved symptoms of heartburn and healing mild-tomoderate esophagitis than placebo. Studies in the United States are mixed, suggesting that cisapride is most effective in relieving symptoms of nocturnal heartburn and healing mild esophagitis. There is no evidence that they prevent the complications of GERD, but they may be useful in maintenance therapy of mild esophagitis. H2 receptor antagonists, in both regular and high doses, improve and sometimes eliminate the symptoms of heartburn with mild-to-moderate disease.

"text": "Esophageal Ulcers (Esophagus Sores)Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The esophagus or food pipe is the long tube that runs from the throat to the stomach. It has muscular walls with the inner mucosal lining secreting large amounts of mucus to lubricate food as it passes down to the stomach. The inner mucosa of the esophagus is constantly undergoing wear and tear with the passage of food and faces ongoing mechanical abrasion when hard and sharp foods like bones are eaten. It also has to withstand chemical damage from drinking caustic substances (rare) or with the backward flow of stomach acid (common). It has thick inner lining known as the esophageal mucosa to withstand various forms on injury but this may become damaged, especially over the long term. What is an esophageal ulcer? An esophageal ulcer is an open sore that forms in the wall of the esophagus. The esophageal mucosa can withstand various insults and this may lead to inflammation of the wall of the esophagus. Eventually the mucosa becomes eroded. The surface tissue is damaged and an opening to the deeper tissue develops."

MARIANNA POCHELLI16 of the Most Common Types of Abdominal Pain Abdominal pain can be a challenging complaint, especially for those of us who specialize in natural medicine. This type of pain is frequently a benign complaint, but can also herald serious acute pathologies. At least some type of abdominal pain is present in more than 60 percent of an otherwise healthy adolescent and adult population. Here are the most significant sources of pain, their location and when you should seek treatment. The history and physical examination are central to narrowing the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and guiding the evaluation. The history is the most important clue to the source of abdominal pain. The pain may be categorized by its underlying mechanism: Visceral pain is usually dull and aching in character, although it can be colicky; it is often poorly localized. It arises from distention or spasm of a hollow organ such as the discomfort experienced early in intestinal obstruction or cholecystitis. Parietal pain is sharp and very well localized."

"text": "The Stomach Gastritis Overview Gastritis is an inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining and is associated with a variety of conditions. It develops when the stomach's powerful protective layer - the mucous-bicarbonate barrier - is overwhelmed and the stomach lining is exposed to the caustic gastric acids the body uses to break down food. While gastritis is often caused by a bacterial infection, it can also occur as a result of too much alcohol, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin), or even stress. It can be a painful condition that, left untreated, may lead to more serious problems such as blood loss, ulcers, or an increased risk of cancer. In most cases, however, patients will see a rapid improvement with the proper medical care. [ Top ]Symptoms Gastritis is most commonly associated with recurrent stomach pain and upset. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, loss of appetite, and a feeling of fullness or burning in the upper abdomen. More serious signs such as vomiting blood and black or bloody stools indicate that your stomach lining may be bleeding and call for immediate medical attention. [ Top ]Causes and Risk Factors A number of conditions can lead to gastritis including: Bacterial infections such as Helicobacter pylori, E. coli, or Salmonella Excessive alcohol consumption or cocaine use Regular or prolonged use of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs Stress Major surgery Severe injury or burns Certain diseases such as pernicious anemia, bile reflux, and autoimmune disorders [ Top ]Diagnosis Your physician will discuss your medical history and symptoms with you, which is usually enough to identify gastritis. However, additional testing may be necessary to isolate the underlying cause that is triggering gastritis, particularly to determine if an infection is the root problem."

Am I a woman because when I was a kid my female mother wanted me to play with dolls and not GI Joes? Of course, these social cues are what mainly divides men from women. Men are supposed to be tough because society made them that way. Women are weak because society made them that way. We're not born this way, we are made this way. Report Post Reply5Just open the textbook. Scientifically speaking, you can't really switch genders. You have an X -and depending on the genes your father passed down to you - an X or Y chromosome, that dictate your gender."

I've tried explaining how in actuality that it makes more sense for a woman to wear p@nt$ as opposed to a man due to the equipment, but he keeps insisting it's a skirt.

"text": "\"Bible Research > Interpretation > Translation Methods > Gender-Neutral > Poythress Male Meaning in Generic Masculines in Koine Greekby Vern Sheridan Poythress Westminster Theological Journal 66/2 (2004), pp. 325-36. Since 1986 gender-neutral English Bible translations have arisen that avoid the use of generic “he.” 1This new translation practice raises many questions, some concerning English, some concerning the original languages, and some concerning the nature of translation between the different languages. I cannot here rehearse the entire discussion. 2 I focus only on one question, whether a sense of “maleness” attaches to the use of the generic masculine singular in Koine Greek. As I show below, considerable primary textual evidence shows that in Greek the generic masculine includes a suggestion of a male case being used to express a general principle that applies to both men and women. If so, it tends to support the propriety of using an expression in English that suggests both a general principle and a male case exemplifying the principle. 3 Of course, other arguments also influence translation: for example, one must consider the nature of translation, the differences between ancient and modern cultures, and the pertinence of reader response. 4 We concentrate here only on one question, the nuances in meaning of the Greek masculine in general statements about human beings."

"text": "\"In the complicated redefining of gender and sexuality, terminology has become confusing and easy to misuse. Transvestites and transsexuals are two terms used often as synonyms, although many people suggest that this is a misidentification. A number of differences exist between those identifying themselves as one or the other, although the exact definitions may vary from person to person. One of the main differences regards gender identification. Gender, according to many experts, is a social rather than biological definition. The social structures regarding male and female roles are what define gender, rather than the anatomical and scientific definitions that define what sex a person is. In essence, the clothes someone wears, the beauty products he or she uses, and even the types of activities that he or she enjoys may all be described in terms of gender. Transvestites and transsexuals usually have different ideas of gender identification. Transvestites do not usually exhibit any discomfort with their biologically determined sex. Transvestite men want to be men; transvestite women want to be women."

Whether they are heading a major corporation or serving in elected office, leaders bring a combination of traits to the table. In the public’s estimation, some traits are clearly more important than others. Honesty, intelligence and decisiveness are considered “absolutely essential” leadership qualities by at least eight-in-ten adults. Roughly two-thirds of adults (67%) say that being organized is an essential quality in a leader. Somewhat smaller shares of the public say that being compassionate (57%), innovative (56%) or ambitious (53%) are essential for leadership. Men and women tend to agree on the relative importance of the top tier of leadership traits. Nearly equal shares of each say being honest, intelligent, organized and decisive are absolutely essential, although women place somewhat more importance on intelligence and honesty than do men. Larger gender gaps emerge on some of the other, less important traits. Women are much more likely than men to say that being compassionate is absolutely essential in a leader: 66% of women say this, compared with 47% of men."

"text": "This article is merely an attempt to find the scientific reasoning behind the origins of the ancient Gotra System and in no way endorses its imposition in the modern Hindu society to decide marriages or other things. In all probabilities, the modern Gotra system is no more relevant, and the best method to verify the genetic feasibility of a marriage, if at all required, would be to avoid cousin marriages (which have been proved to increase the risk of genetic disorders in the off springs) or to do a genetic test of the bride and groom’s DNA for any possible genetic disorders in their off springs. The Hindu Gotra System – Male Lineage Identification The Gotra is a system which associates a person with his most ancient or root ancestor in an unbroken male lineage. For instance if a person says that he belongs to the Bharadwaja Gotra then it means that he traces back his male ancestry to the ancient Rishi (Saint or Seer) Bharadwaja. So Gotra refers to the Root Person in a person’s male lineage. The Gotra system is practiced amongst most Hindus. See here for a List of Hindu Gotras practiced by different sections of the Hindu Society Brahmins identify their male lineage by considering themselves to be the descendants of the 8 great Rishis ie Saptarshis (The Seven Sacred Saints) + Bharadwaja Rishi. So the list of root Brahmin Gotras is as follows Angirasa Atri Gautam Kashyapa Bhrigu Vasistha Kutsa Bharadwaja These 8 Rishis are called Gotrakarin meaning roots of Gotras. All other Brahmin Gotras evolved from one of the above Gotras. What this means is that the descendants of these Rishis over time started their own Gotras."

S. Law A Few Points for Clarity Age of Consent Chart Further Resources Introduction T he so-called “age of consent” laws are used to indicate the point at which a human being, under its jurisdiction, is said to be legally old enough to engage in sex. This is often different than the age at which young people are allowed to be soldiers, to vote, imbibe inebriates, drive a car, or make valid contracts — including marriage contracts. The major reason given for these laws is to protect young people, often called “minors,” from exploitation. Some age-of-consent laws also prohibit showing pornography to minors. Some laws are considered to be beneficial because they prohibit giving drugs (such as alcohol) to minors. The age of consent differs in every state, and in every country. Globally, the age of consent ranges from 9 (Iran, for instance) to 21 (Western Territory, Australia). The age of consent laws also are contingent upon various factors, such as the type of sexual activity, the relationship between the two parties, the age and sex of both parties, and other specifics. Some states allow sex for those who are legally married, even though they are below the state’s consent age. In many parts of the world, those of the same sex are legally required to be older than the consenting age of opposite-sex couples."

The multiple fitness model provides an evolutionary interpretation of the social perception of male pattern baldness and beardedness in terms of the multidimensional meaning of physical maturational stages. Male facial beardedness is associated with the sexual maturation stage and is hypothesized to signal aggressive dominance. Male pattern baldness, by contrast, is associated with the next stage of physical maturation, termed senescence. Pattern baldness may signal social maturity, a non-threatening form of dominance associated with wisdom and nurturance. We tested these hypotheses on social perceptions using manipulated male facial stimuli. We presented faces with three levels of cranial hair, including full, receding, and bald, and two levels of facial hair, beard with moustache and clean shaven. Consistent with the model, a decrease in the amount of cranial hair was associated with increased perceptions of social maturity, appeasement, and age, and decreased perceptions of attractiveness and aggressiveness. Targets with facial hair were perceived as more aggressive, less appeasing, less attractive, older, and lower on social maturity than clean shaven faces.

The two fingers that are important are the index finger -- the one you use to point to something -- and the ring finger. Reading, writing and arithmetic... In a recent study from the help of online universities, the results of mathematics and literacy (reading) tests for seven-year-old children could be predicted by measuring the length of these two fingers. In a study to be published in the British Journal of Psychology, scientists compared the finger lengths of 75 children with their Standardised Assessment Test (SAT) scores. They found a clear link between a child's performance in numeracy and literacy tests and the relative lengths of their index (pointing) and ring fingers. Scientists believe that the link is caused by different levels of the hormones testosterone and estrogen in the womb -- and the effect they have on both brain development and finger length. This is nothing new, since scientists have known for many years that elevated levels of testosterone -- or other hormones closely resembling testosterone -- can cause the brains of both males and females to be more \"\"masculine. \"\" It has long been known that boys tend to do better on math tests while girls do better at writing, reading and verbal tests. \"\" Testosterone has been argued to promote development of the areas of the brain which are often associated with spatial and mathematical skills,\"\" said Dr Mark Brosnan, Head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath, who led the study. \"\""

There are a lot of false dichotomies out there — left brain vs. right brain, nature vs. nurture, etc. But one really persistent myth, that is literally costing human lives, is the distinction between “alpha” and “beta” males. As the story typically goes, there are two types of men. “Alpha” males are those at the top of the social status hierarchy. They have greater access to power, money, and mates, which they gain through physical prowess, intimidation, and domination. Alphas are typically described as the “real men.” In contrast are the “Beta” males: the weak, submissive, subordinate guys who are low status, and only get access to mates once women decide to settle down and go searching for a “nice guy. ”This distinction, which is often based on observations among other social animals (such as chimpanzees and wolves) paints a very black and white picture of masculinity. Not only does it greatly simplify the multi-dimensionality of masculinity, and grossly underestimate what a man is capable of becoming, but it also doesn’t even get at the heart of what is really attractive to women."

It is also a social category present in societies that recognize three or more genders. The term third is usually understood to mean \"\"other\"\"; some anthropologists and sociologists have described fourth, [1] fifth, [2] and \"\"some\"\" [3] genders. Biology determines whether a human's chromosomal and anatomical sex is male, female, or one of the uncommon variations on this sexual dimorphism that can create a degree of ambiguity known as intersex. [ 4] [5] However, the state of personally identifying as, or being identified by society as, a man, a woman, or other, is usually also defined by the individual's gender identity and gender role in the particular culture in which they live. Not all cultures have strictly defined gender roles. [ 6] [7] [8]In different cultures, a third or fourth gender may represent very different things. To the Indigenous Māhū of Hawaii, it is an intermediate state between man and woman, or to be a \"\"person of indeterminate gender\"\". [ 9] The traditional Dineh of the Southwestern US acknowledge four genders: feminine woman, masculine woman, feminine man, masculine man. ["

Apes and humans are commonly claimed to be genetically between 95 and 99 percent the same, but if you compare them you will see some very important differences, even in their basic body structure which are listed below, first for Apes and man, and then between apes and monkeys.

Although apes can walk on two legs for a short time they are really quadrupeds on the ground and brachiators (arm swingers) in trees. Gorillas live mainly on the ground but can climb larger trees. Features essential for man’s upright stance and walking are:1. Relatively long legs compared with the trunk with the centre of gravity in the pelvis, just in front of the sacrum.2. An S-shaped curved spine so that the head and trunk are balanced over the centre of gravity."

"text": "Jack Hill’s The Big Bird Cage (1972) is a woman-in-prison sexploitation extravaganza, which means that it’s got lots of T, lots of A, some erotic mud-wrestling, and at least one supermodel running about nude while slathered in lard. And yet, despite such inducements, for me the most sensuous part of the film didn’t involve any bare skin at all. In a scene right at the beginning of the film, socialite Terry Rich (Anitra Ford) walks into a nightclub in which Blossom (Pam Grier) is performing. Terry pauses in front of the stage with her (apparently wealthy and/or influential) boyfriend beside her. Blossom grins at the boyfriend (who stands there looking awkward) and then more emphatically at Terry, who, after a second, gives a half-amused, half-appreciative smile in return, and sways two or three times to the beat. It doesn’t seem like much, but that instant just oozes sex. It probably has something to do with the spectacular, form-fitting red dress that Anitra Ford is wearing, and something to do with the fact that both she and Pam Grier are extremely charismatic performers. But more than that I think the voluptuousness is located in the interaction between the two; the way Terry so nonchalantly dismisses the outclassed boyfriend, and instead opens herself, with detached deliberation, to Blossom’s voice and movement. It’s a moment of feminine cool and feminine knowledge; a distillation of all those high school dances where the girls shook it for each other on the floor while the guys nervously hugged the wall. In other words, the power and the sexual charge in the scene comes from two women connecting with each other."

Relationships with age disparity of all kinds have been observed with both men and women as the older or younger partner. In various cultures, older men and younger women often seek one another for sexual or marital relationships. [ 4] Older women sometimes date younger men as well, [5] and in both cases wealth and physical attractiveness are often relevant. [ citation needed] Because most men are interested in women in their twenties, adolescent boys are generally sexually interested in women somewhat older than themselves. ["

The brain can be divided down the middle lengthwise into two halves called the cerebral hemispheres. Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes by sulci and gyri. The sulci (or fissures) are the grooves and the gyri are the \"\"bumps\"\" that can be seen on the surface of the brain. The folding created by the sulci and gyri increases the amount of cerebral cortex that can fit in the skull. The total surface area of the cerebral cortex is about 324 square inches or about the size of a full page of newspaper. Each person has a unique pattern of gyri and sulci."

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

The major brain divisions and the major structures seen on a midsagittal section of the brain. The vascular territories of the cerebral arteries. To begin, review the five major divisions of the brain: the myelencephalon, metencephalon, mesencephalon, diencephalon and telencephalon. Also review the cranial nerve roots ( #5302, #7917, #4175 ). I. External Features of the Telencephalon (Cerebrum)As viewed from above, the most prominent parts of the brain are the cerebral hemispheres, which are separated by the interhemispheric fissure (= longitudinal fissure) ( #8431 ). The hemispheres consist of a superficial sheet of gray matter that is thrown into folds. The surface irregularities of the cerebrum are the sulci and gyri ( #51113 ). A gyrus is the elevated portion between two sulci (furrows)."

[ 1] The cerebral cortex is the most anterior (rostral) brain region and consists of an outer zone of neural tissue called gray matter, which contains neuronal cell bodies. It is also divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres by the longitudinal fissure, but the two hemispheres are joined at the midline by the corpus callosum. [ 1]At the cellular and circuit level, the cerebral cortex is characterized by two primary organizational features:across its surface it is divided into functional areas that serve various sensory, motor, and cognitive functions, andit is subdivided into several layers that organize the input and output connectivity of resident neurons. These two fundamental properties provide modular functionality. [ 1]In large mammals, the cerebral cortex is usually folded, providing a greater surface area in the confined volume of the cranium. Increased surface area is thought to be important because it allows for the addition and evolution of a greater diversity of functional modules, or areas. ["

Cerebrovascular dysfunction, occlusive and hemorrhagic, is the third most common cause of death in this country and is very high on the list of disorders causing morbidity. Approximately 2 million people are now disabled from the effects of one or more cerebrovascular events. A great number of these individuals are in the working-age population. Approximately 80% of all strokes are ischemic (due to occlusion of a vessel). Atherothrombotic occlusion, embolic occlusion and small vessel occlusion are the three major categories. While the pathophysiology of atherothrombosis is similar to the pathophysiology of occlusion in many other vascular beds, the small vessels of the brain appear to be particularly susceptible to the effects of aging, complicated by hypertension and diabetes. These vessel walls can undergo a change known as \"\"lipohyalinosis\"\" that can damage the wall and compromise the lumen. Also, tiny cerebral vessels can be damaged by accumulation of abnormal proteins in a condition called \"\"amyloid angiopathy.\"\" This is a disorder resulting from progressive accumulation of amyloid on the walls of small arteries and arterioles over the surface of the cerebral hemispheres."

Within the cranial cavity, the brain is surrounded by meninges. The meninges consist of three layers of connective tissue membranes (dura, arachnoid, and pia mater). The arachnoid and pia are known as the leptomeninges (\"\"lepto\"\" means thin and fine in Greek). There are several differences in the meninges covering the brain and spinal cord, and, accordingly, they are discussed separately. The menin-ges consist of fibroblasts and collagen fibrils. The amount of collagen varies in different meningeal layers. For example, the dura mater contains copious amounts of collagen fibrils, whereas the arachnoid mater has no collagen."

The diencephalon includes the dorsal thalamus, hypothalamus, ventral thalamus, and the epithalamus, and it is situated between the telencephalon and the brainstem. In general, the diencephalon is the main processing center for information destined to reach the cerebral cortex from all ascending sensory pathways (except those related to olfaction) and numerous other subcortical cell groups. The right and left halves of the diencephalon, for the most part, contain symmetrically distributed cell groups separated by the space of the third ventricle (Haines 190). Thalamus The dorsal thalamus is the largest of the four principal subdivisions of the diencephalon and consists of pools of neurons that collectively project to all areas of the cerebral cortex. Some of the thalamic nuclei receive somatosensory, visual, or auditory input and transmit this information to the appropriate are of the cerebral cortex. Other thalamic nuclei receive input from subcotical motor areas and project to those parts of the overlying cortex that influence the successful execution of a motor act. A few thalamic nuclei receive a more diffuse input and, in return, relate in a more diffuse way to wide spread areas of cortex (Haines 190)Internal Capsule Fan-shaped mass of fibers of axons that pass between the diencephalon, particularly the dorsal thalamus, and the cerebral cortex.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Endplate potential (EPP) and m EPPs recorded from a frog muscle fiber End plate potentials ( EPPs) are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. They are called \"\"end plates\"\" because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal of a motor neuron, vesicles carrying neurotransmitters (mostly acetylcholine) are exocytosed and the contents are released into the neuromuscular junction. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and lead to its depolarization. In the absence of an action potential, acetylcholine vesicles spontaneously leak into the neuromuscular junction and cause very small depolarizations in the postsynaptic membrane. This small response (~0.4m V) [1] is called a miniature end plate potential (MEPP) and is generated by one acetylcholine-containing vesicle. It represents the smallest possible depolarization which can be induced in a muscle.

"text": "\"At the neuromuscular junction, the nerve fiber is able to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber by releasing ACh (and other substances), causing muscle contraction. Muscles will contract or relax when they receive signals from the nervous system. The neuromuscular junction is the site of the signal exchange. The steps of this process in vertebrates occur as follows: (1) The action potential reaches the axon terminal. ( 2) Voltage-dependent calcium gates open, allowing calcium to enter the axon terminal. ( 3) Neurotransmitter vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and ACh is released into the synaptic cleft via exocytosis. ( 4) ACh binds to postsynaptic receptors on the sarcolemma. ( 5) This binding causes ion channels to open and allows sodium ions to flow across the membrane into the muscle cell. ( 6) The flow of sodium ions across the membrane into the muscle cell generates an action potential which travels to the myofibril and results in muscle contraction.

"text": "Excitation Contraction Coupling Process Topics: Action potential, Neuron, Neurotransmitter Pages: 1 (412 words) Published: June 28, 2013Excitation Contraction Coupling Process The sequence of events that converts action potentials in a muscle fiber to a contraction is know as excitation contraction coupling. In order for a skeletal muscle fiber to contract, it has to get a signal from the nervous system. The part of the nervous system that it gets a signal from is called a motor neuron. An electoral signal, called an action potential travels down the axon and to the axon terminal. At the end of the motor neuron are structures called synaptic vesicles and they contain different neurotransmitters. In the case of a motor neuron that stimulates a skeletal muscle fiber, that neurotransmitter is called acetylcholine. When the action potential gets down to the end it will cause the synaptic vesicles to release acetylcholine. The ACH crosses the synapse, which is a physical gap between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber and binds to ACH receptors. A flowing in of sodium (Na+) and a flowing out of potassium (K+) results which, depolarizes the cell and generates an end-plate potential. This causes a depolarizing excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)."

Most of your synapses are chemical synapses, meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, some recently discovered neurotransmitters may be viewed as \"\"nontraditional” or “unconventional” (relative to older definitions). We’ll discuss these unconventional neurotransmitters at the end of article."

Here we will examine the events which occur at these functional contacts known as synapses. A PRELIMINARY OVERVIEWNeurons make functional contact with other neurons as well as with the cells of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands. The contacts neurons make with these cells are called synapses, a term meaning \"\"connection\"\" coined by the English physiologist Sherrington. The \"\"connection\"\" is actually an extracellular fluid-filled synaptic cleft separating the nerve cell membrane from the postsynaptic cell membrane (Fig-1). This narrow cleft is typically 20 nm wide, a span sufficiently great to bring to an abrupt halt the transmission of impulses. Fig-1The signal must bridge this cleft in order to influence the postsynaptic cell. This is effectively produced at chemical synapses by the release of chemical neurotransmitters from the presynaptic terminal, which diffuse within microseconds across the cleft to specific receptor sites on the postsynaptic cell membrane. The neurotransmitter-receptor site interaction then causes specific ion channels to open on the postsynaptic membrane, triggering ionic fluxes which either depolarize or hyperpolarize the membrane."

Learning Objectives Describe the three types of muscle tissue Key Takeaways Key Points The muscular system is responsible for functions such as maintenance of posture, locomotion, and control of various circulatory systems. Muscle tissue can be divided functionally (voluntarily or involuntarily controlled) and morphologically ( striated or non-striated). These classifications describe three distinct muscle types: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated, and smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated. Key Termsmyofibril: A fiber made up of several myofilaments that facilitates the generation of tension in a myocyte.myofilament: A filament composed of either multiple myosin or actin proteins that slide over each other to generate tension.myosin: A motor protein which forms myofilaments that interact with actin filaments to generate tension.actin: A protein which forms myofilaments that interact with myosin filaments to generate tension.striated: The striped appearance of certain muscle types in which myofibrils are aligned to produce a constant directional tension.voluntary: A muscle movement under conscious control (e.g. deciding to move the forearm).involuntary: A muscle movement not under conscious control (e.g. the beating of the heart).myocyte: A muscle cell. The Musculoskeletal System The muscular system is made up of muscle tissue and is responsible for functions such as maintenance of posture, locomotion and control of various circulatory systems. This includes the beating of the heart and the movement of food through the digestive system. The muscular system is closely associated with the skeletal system in facilitating movement. Both voluntary and involuntary muscular system functions are controlled by the nervous system."

Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells). Nervous system The nucleus of a neuron is located in the cell body. Extending out from the cell body are processes called dendrites and axons. These processes vary in number & relative length but always serve to conduct impulses (with dendrites conducting impulses toward the cell body and axons conducting impulses away from the cell body).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image: Complete_neuron_cell_diagram_en.svg Neurons can respond to stimuli and conduct impulses because a membrane potential is established across the cell membrane. In other words, there is an unequal distribution of ions (charged atoms) on the two sides of a nerve cell membrane. This can be illustrated with a voltmeter: With one electrode placed inside a neuron and the other outside, the voltmeter is 'measuring' the difference in the distribution of ions on the inside versus the outside. And, in this example, the voltmeter reads -70 m V (m V = millivolts). In other words, the inside of the neuron is slightly negative relative to the outside. This difference is referred to as the Resting Membrane Potential."

Arteries and veins transport blood in two distinct circuits: the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit ( Figure 1 ). Systemic arteries provide blood rich in oxygen to the body’s tissues. The blood returned to the heart through systemic veins has less oxygen, since much of the oxygen carried by the arteries has been delivered to the cells. In contrast, in the pulmonary circuit, arteries carry blood low in oxygen exclusively to the lungs for gas exchange. Pulmonary veins then return freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped back out into systemic circulation.

It lines the entire circulatory system, including the heart and all the veins, arteries, and capillaries. The endothelium lining the heart is also called the endocardium, though it is similar to the tissue the lining blood vessels. The endothelium forms a barrier between the blood and the other structures of the circulatory system, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly, and therefore to circulate more quickly throughout the body. The endothelium is simple squamous epithelium, meaning that it consists of a single layer of flat, or squamous, epithelial cells, making it the thinnest possible type of membrane. This single layer of cells may also be referred to as a monolayer. An epithelium in general is any type of tissue that serves to line the surface or cavity of any structure in the body. Epithelium is one of the four primary tissue types in the human body, the others being connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue.

When your heart pumps your blood smoothly, without resistance from your blood vessels, your risk of heart disease drops. Although exercise is important for muscle tone, your eating and supplement habits may have greater sway when it comes to blood vessel tone. Eating fresh wholesome foods and taking antioxidants are the best ways to maintain tiptop blood-vessel tone. How do you say endothelium? The concept of improving your blood-vessel tone centers on the endothelium, a thin layer of cells that line the inside of your body's blood vessels."

Epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium, either squamous, columnar, cuboidal, pseudo-stratified columnar or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), either squamous, columnar or cuboidal. All glands are made up of epithelial cells. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing. Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane. ["

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science The Types of Blood Vessels in Your Body Share Flipboard Email Printby Regina Bailey Updated March 12, 2018Blood vessels are intricate networks of hollow tubes that transport blood throughout the entire body. This is an essential function as blood delivers valuable nutrients to and removes wastes from our cells. Blood vessels are constructed of layers of connective tissue and muscle. The inner blood vessel layer is formed of endothelium. In capillaries and sinusoids, endothelium comprises the majority of the vessel. Blood vessel endothelium is continuous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain , lungs , skin, and heart. In the heart, this inner layer is called the endocardium. Types of Blood Vessels Susumu Nishinaga / Getty Images There are four main types of blood vessels: Arteries Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where oxygen is picked up by red blood cells. Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body."

Epithelial cells are one of the four types of cells from which animal tissues are constructed (epithelial, nervous, muscle, connective). Wikipedia notes some complexity with regards to this description: \"\"However, it is important to note that pathologists do not consider endothelium and mesothelium (both derived from mesoderm) to be true epithelium. This is because such tissues present very different pathology. For that reason, pathologists label cancers in endothelium and mesothelium sarcomas, whereas true epithelial cancers are called carcinomas. Also, the filaments that support these mesoderm-derived tissues are very distinct. \"\" 25.7k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Jelle Zijlstra Your response is private.

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Blood Vessel Basics The way to keep your blood vessels strong is to keep the endothelium healthy. The endothelium is the layer of cells that lines the inside of your blood vessels. This lining fills vital roles, from maintaining the tone of vessel walls to regulating immune and inflammatory responses. The endothelium helps modulate blood flow and forms an anticoagulant barrier, which contains blood yet allows it to flow without clotting. A damaged endothelium triggers medical problems such as hardening of the arteries. Foods That Increase Nitric Oxide Nitric oxide relaxes muscles in blood vessel walls, which makes it easier for blood to flow and lowers your blood pressure. It also stops blood cells from sticking together."

"text": "Tweet BLOOD VESSELS ANATOMYBlood vessels are responsible for the transportation of blood, made up arteries and veins, they creates pathways for the oxygenated blood to travel to their destination and pathways for the used deoxygenated blood to travel back to the heart or lungs. Capillaries are designed to permit the transfer of gasses within the blood, such as the delivery of oxygen and the return of carbon dioxide. The molecules from the tissues use the oxygenated blood plasma for energy and return the molecules of wastes. Blood vessels form these pathways to reach every living cell within the human body for this gaseous exchange. The network formed by the blood vessels is tubular, extensive, and in many ways fragile to outside influences. BLOOD VESSELS FUNCTIONSAs the blood leaves the heart, they are filled with molecules of necessary oxygen, and traverse a passageway of progressively smaller tubular networks known as (in order) arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The microscopic capillaries are responsible for the conjoining of arterial flow and venous flow. Capillaries create the environment for the actual gaseous exchange. As blood returns to the heart for more oxygen it passes through a tubular network of progressively larger diameter known as (in order) venules and veins. Anastomosis is the convergence arteries."

It shares recognition of the music industry as that of the other performance awards such as the Academy Awards (film), the Emmy Awards (television), and the Tony Awards (theater). The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, to honor and respect the musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958. Following the 2011 ceremony, the Academy overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. The 60th Annual Grammy Awards, honoring the best achievements from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, were held on January 28, 2018, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Overview Recall is a procedure that allows citizens to remove and replace a public official before the end of a term of office. Historically, recall has been used most frequently at the local level. By some estimates, three-fourths of recall elections are at the city council or school board level. This brief, however, focuses on the recall only as it applies to state officials. Recall differs from another method for removing officials from office--impeachment--in that it is a political device while impeachment is a legal process. Impeachment requires the House to bring specific charges, and the Senate to act as a jury. In most of the 19 recall states, specific grounds are not required, and the recall of a state official is held by an election."

The right to a jury trial in both civil and criminal cases is protected by both the state and federal constitutions. Jurors are the representatives of the community. An “all-volunteer” jury would not necessarily be a representative group, so we use random selection to assure that the parties get a “jury of their peers”. Every year the State Court Administrator makes a list of potential jurors by merging the lists of people who are registered voters in Multnomah County and the list of people who have driver’s licenses or identification cards issued by DMV. Duplicate entries are eliminated. A master juror list is then drawn randomly from this combined list by the State Court Administrator. This master list has the names of 90% of the people in Multnomah County who are on either of these two lists. This Master list is provided to the Trial Court Administrator. A computer draws names at random from the master list and those people are summoned for jury duty."

It is the core element of what political campaigns call the ground game or field. Organized political canvassing became a central tool of contested election campaigns in Britain, and has remained a core practice performed by thousands of volunteers each election there, and in many of the countries descended from its political system. It is less common in campaigns of Continental Europe and East Asian democracies. Canvassing can also refer to a neighborhood canvass performed by law enforcement in the course of an investigation.

[ 1] [2] [3] In some languages, and occasionally in English, the right to vote is called active suffrage, as distinct from passive suffrage, which is the right to stand for election. [ 4] The combination of active and passive suffrage is sometimes called full suffrage. [ 5]Suffrage is often conceived in terms of elections for representatives. However, suffrage applies equally to referenda and initiatives. Suffrage describes not only the legal right to vote, but also the practical question of whether a question will be put to a vote. The utility of suffrage is reduced when important questions are decided unilaterally by elected or non-elected representatives. In most democracies, eligible voters can vote in elections of representatives. Voting on issues by referendum may also be available.

To take advantage of the latest technological innovations, the Commission issued revised guidelines for the Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) Program in May 2000. More than 450 million voter or election identity cards have been distributed across India till now. The voter ID card or EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card) is an identification card issued by the Election Commission to all eligible voters to enable voter identification on Election Day. All those who are already enrolled in the voter's list are eligible to receive a voter ID card also known as election card. These election cards carry personal details and a distinct identification number. In future, data of a biometric nature like digital signature and fingerprints may also be contained inside a microchip, embedded in the given election card. The EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card) proves to be a unique identity document for all Indians. The election card is helpful not only for casting a vote in elections but also acts as an identity proof and address proof for opening a bank account, getting a new gas connection, and online reservations for travel and accommodation. In fact nowadays almost all government agencies, insurance companies, mortgage companies like bank agencies (if you are going to apply for mortgage or any other personal loan), and claim firms (Insurance claims) ask for a voter ID number."

A good understanding of anatomy and physiology is the basis of all medicine. Without knowing how the body works, how it is made up and how it can go wrong, we cannot even begin to design effective treatments and interventions, including surgery or new pharmaceutical drugs. The body has many different systems which help to maintain the body's normal function. Three of these functions are; the cardiovascular system, respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system. In this assignment I will be looking at how these three systems work both at resting and during exercise. Cardiovascular System Wilmore, J. H; Costill, D. L (2004) states that the cardiovascular system consists of; the heart, which acts as a pump, blood vessels acting as a system of channels and it also consists of blood which acts as a fluid medium. The cardiovascular system has three main functions: Transports oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells and transports carbon dioxide and waste products from the body's cells."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 42 - Circulation and Gas Exchange Printer Friendly Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Lecture Outline Overview: Trading with the Environment Every organism must exchange materials and energy with its environment, and this exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level. Cells live in aqueous environments. The resources that they need, such as nutrients and oxygen, move across the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. Metabolic wastes, such as carbon dioxide, move out of the cell. Most animals have organ systems specialized for exchanging materials with the environment, and many have an internal transport system that conveys fluid (blood or interstitial fluid) throughout the body. For aquatic organisms, structures such as gills present an expansive surface area to the outside environment. Oxygen dissolved in the surrounding water diffuses across the thin epithelium covering the gills and into a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries). At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses out into the water. Concept 42.1 Circulatory systems reflect phylogeny Diffusion alone is not adequate for transporting substances over long distances in animals—for example, for moving glucose from the digestive tract and oxygen from the lungs to the brain of a mammal. Diffusion is insufficient over distances of more than a few millimeters, because the time it takes for a substance to diffuse from one place to another is proportional to the square of the distance."

The four major functions of the cardiovascular system are:1. To transport nutrients, gases and waste products around the body2. To protect the body from infection and blood loss3. To help the body maintain a constant body temperature (‘thermoregulation’)4. To help maintain fluid balance within the body1. Transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products The cardiovascular system acts as an internal road network, linking all parts of the body via a system of highways (arteries and veins), main roads (arterioles and venules) and streets, avenues and lanes (capillaries). This network allows a non-stop courier system (the blood) to deliver and expel nutrients, gases, waste products and messages throughout the body. Nutrients such as glucose from digested carbohydrate are delivered from the digestive tract to the muscles and organs that require them for energy. Hormones (chemical messengers) from endocrine glands are transported by the cardiovascular system to their target organs, and waste products are transported to the lungs or urinary system to be expelled from the body."

"text": "Closed circulatory systemnavigation search Definitionnoun A type of circulatory system where blood circulates within closed vessels, thus, blood is distinct from the interstitial fluid Supplement The circulatory system is one of the transport systems through which nutrients, gases, and other molecules are transported within the body of animals. There are two major types of circulatory systems: the open circulatory system and the closed circulatory system. In open circulatory system, the blood bathes the cells directly as opposed in closed circulatory system wherein the blood travels through vessels. Since the blood in an open circulatory system is not confined to vessels the blood and the interstitial fluid have no distinction. In contrast, the blood and the interstitial fluid do not mix in a closed circulatory system. A closed circulatory system is comprised of the heart that pumps blood into the vessels to reach the tissues and organs. The exchange of gases in the bloodstream occurs between smaller vessels (capillaries) and tissues. Examples of animals with a closed circulatory system are annelids and vertebrates (including humans). Humans have a cardiovascular system comprised of heart and blood vessels that circulate blood throughout the body and another system for circulating lymph called lymphatic system .

Blood flow isUnder the microscope, the wall of a blood vessel is observed to contain only a tunica intima. This must be a (n) Upon dissection of a capillary, it is found to contain intercellular clefts, but otherwise no pores, openings or gaps in the vessel wall. This is probably a __________ capillary.Capillaries have only a CapillariesCapillaries Which vessel drains capillaries?The vessels that are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart are After blood passes through capillaries in the small intestine, it flows to capillary beds in the liver. This is an example of a simple pathway.Tunica intima is the innermost tunic of a blood vessel, and contains predominantly smooth muscle cells supported by elastic fibers. Under the microscope, a blood vessel is observed to have a relatively thin wall, a large lumen, is collapsed, and contains a thick tunica externa. This is probably a (nIn both pulmonary and systemic circulation, gas exchange occurs at the Capillary exchange is the process by which cells receive everything they need to survive and to eliminate metabolic waste.By far the most important means by which capillary exchange occurs is filtration. A small amount of fluid moves out of capillaries at their venous ends, and most of that fluid reenters the capillaries at their arterial ends. fFiltration pressure is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. If blood flow in the capillaries was too fast, there might not be sufficient time for exchange of nutrients and waste between tissues and blood.Local control of blood flow is achieved by the periodic relaxation and contraction of precapillary sphincters regulating blood flow through the tissues. Precapillary sphincters relax as the tissue concentration of nutrients, such as oxygen, glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, increases.Vasodilator substances are produced in the extracellular fluid as the rate of metabolism increases. In a working tissue like skeletal muscle, carbon dioxide may accumulate along with an increase in lactic acid. In this example, carbon dioxide and lactic acid will act asDuring ____________ , there is an increase in ____________ due to a faster and stronger heartbeat and because blood is removed from the âreservoirsâ of the veins to the ____________ . There is also a ____________ of blood. In contrast, ____________ total blood flow is distributed to the abdominal organs, ____________ digestive processes; less is transported to the kidneys, which ____________ urine output to maintain blood volume and blood pressure.When carbon dioxide accumulates in a tissue, local arterioles will _________, increasing perfusion and decreasing carbon dioxide levels. A patientâs systolic pressure is 130 and diastolic pressure is 90. What is the pulse pressure?Blood pressure is highest in the ___________ and lowest in the _____________. As the cross-sectional area of blood vessels increases, velocity of blood flowWhich of the following is a mechanism that assists venous return? The pressure gradientGravity The skeletal muscle pumpThe thoracic (respiratory) pump The cerebral arteries dilate when the systemic BP drops and constrict when it rises.During liver disease, levels of blood proteins may be low. This would __________ blood colloid osmotic pressure. The best estimate of MAP isResistance in the blood vessels is primarily controlled by altering Blood pressure increases with sustained increased resistance becauseWhen a person changes position from lying down to standing, the blood pressure in the veins of the lower limbs __________. A long-term response to an increase in blood pressure would involveThe renin-angiotensin system results in multiple hormones that raise blood pressure. At rest, veins contain the largest percentage of blood in the body.An albumin protein from the blood may diffuse through the endothelial cell membrane and enter the tissue fluid. The thyroid gland is highly perfused. Therefore, it has a ______ degree of vascularization.Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels in tissues that require them. During exercise, blood is shifted from the __________ into systemic circulation.The region of the nasal cavity immediately internal to the nostrils is the _________; it contains coarse guard hairs. There are two gases that are exchanged during respiration. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli while the other gas, ____________ , diffuses from the alveoli into the blood.Which do not belong to the respiratory zone of the respiratory system? The respiratory tract is a passageway for air between the external environment and the ____________ (air sacs) of the lungs.Receptors located in the superior regions of the nasal cavity called ____________ receptors detect odors as air moves across them. The vocal cords of the ____________ (voice box) vibrate as air moves across them to produce sound. Sounds then resonate in upper respiratory structures.Components of the respiratory mucous membrane include all of these EXCEPT: Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium can be found lining what area of the respiratory tract?The nasal cavity is divided into left and right portions by the The largest unpaired laryngeal cartilage is theThe trachea bifurcates at the level of the sternal angle (where the manubrium and body of the sternum articulate) into the right and left The smallest respiratory bronchioles subdivide into thin airways calledThe right lung has ________ lobes, and the left lung has ________ lobes. The pleural cavityThe trachea extends inferiorly through the neck into the mediastinum and lies immediately posterior to the esophagus and the sternum. Respiratory bronchioles typically are lined by a simple cuboidal epithelium, and both the alveolar ducts and alveoli are lined by a simple squamous epithelium.The respiratory membrane is only 0.5 micrometer thick and consists of an alveolar epithelium and its basement membrane, and a capillary endothelium and its basement membrane. Change in the _______ of breathing is accomplished by altering the amount of time spent in both inspiration and expiration, whereas altering the _______ of breathing is accomplished through stimulation of accessory muscles, which results in greater thoracic volume changes.During lung inflation Pulmonary ventilation (breathing) can also be described asDuring inhalation, the thoracic cavity ___________; during exhalation, the thoracic cavity ___________. The control of breathing muscles comes fromAirflow is a function of what two factors? The amount of air that is moved between the atmosphere and alveoli in 1 minute isExternal respiration involves the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the blood. Boyleâs law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas decreases if the volume of the container decreases, and vice versa.Shallow breathing is more effective for maximizing alveolar ventilation than slower, deeper breathing. Total lung capacity can be calculated as: vital capacity + residual volume.You cannot consciously hold your breath long enough to die. As the lungs expand while breathing, the pressure in the lungs decreases.The respiratory membrane, across which gas exchange occurs, is formed by the wall of the respiratory bronchiole and the pulmonary capillary. During inspiration, thoracic cavity volume increases.As the diaphragm relaxes, it is depressed (moves inferiorly). The partial pressures of gases in cells of systemic tissues result fromThis ability of bronchioles to regulate airflow and arterioles to regulate blood flow is called During alveolar gas exchange, blood P (CO2)During systemic gas exchange blood P (O2) Bronchioles have a proportionately thicker layer of smooth muscle than bronchi and contraction of this smooth muscle narrows the diameter of the bronchiole, referred to as bronchodilation.The gas exchange surfaces of the lungs are part of the pulmonary circulation, while the bronchial circulation is part of the systemic circulation. If a partial pressure gradient exists between two regions for a given gas, then the gas moves from the region of its lower partial pressure to the region of its higher partial pressure.Dalton's law states that at a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is dependent upon the partial pressure of the gas in the air and the solubility coefficient of the gas. Physiologic adjustments, like ventilating alveoli well and providing ample blood to pulmonary capillaries, contribute to maximum gas exchangeThe partial pressure of each gas in the cells remains relatively constant because the continuous delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide corresponds with the amounts associated with cellular respiration. During exercise, both oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production increase in response to elevated rates of cellular respiration but blood P (O2) and P (CO2) levels remain relatively the same.As the volume in the alveoli increases, the pressure decreases. The alveoli never attain equal pressure with the ambient (outside) air.Gases diffuse because of differences in partial pressures from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. When partial pressures for a given gas are equal between the capillaries and the tissue fluids, no net movement of that gas occurs.The largest percentage of carbon dioxide is transported in the blood Hemoglobin is capable of transportingThe respiratory center is composed of the medullary respiratory center and the pontine respiratory center. Oxygen diffuses across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the capillaries because of the P (O2) partial pressure gradient.The largest percentage of carbon dioxide is carried from the tissue cells to the lungs attached to the globin portion of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to transport carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen ions at the same time without affecting each other.Perfusion ArteriesArteries VeinsVeins Left ventricleRight ventricle Right Side of the Heart pumps _____________ blood to the lungs.The left side of the heart pumps _______________ blood to the body.Pulmonary CircuitSystemic Circuit Basic patter of blood flow through the heartLocation of the heart PericardiumFibrous Pericardium Parietal layer of the serous pericardiumVisceral layer of the serous pericardium Cardiac muscle cell structureIntercalated Discs DesmosomesGap Junctions Functional SyncytiumCardiac Muscle Metabolism Coronary ArteriesCardiac Veins Coronary SinusFunctional End Arteries Sinoatrial (SA) NodeAtrioventricular (AV) Atrioventricular (AV)BundlePurkinje Fibers Innervation of the HeartCardioinhibitory Center Cardioacceleratory CenterAtrial Reflex Nodal Cells in SA NodeResting Membrane Potential (RMP) Na + / K + PumpsCalcium Ion pumps (Ca 2+) Voltage-gated Channels in Nodal CellsElectrical Events at the SA Node Reaching Threshold (SA node)Depolarization (SA node) Repolarization (SA node)Pacemaker Potential Vagal ToneCardiac Muscle Stimulation Overview Electrical Events of Cardiac Muscle Cell DiagramThe Sarcolemma of Cardiac Muscle Cells Depolarization (Sarcolemma)Plateau (Sarcolemma) Repolarization (Sarcolemma)Tetany Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)Waves and Segemnent of ECG TachyarrhythmiaCardiac Cycle SystoleDiastole End-diastolic Volume (EDV)End-systolic Volume (ESV) Stroke Volume (SV)Isovolumetric Contraction Isovolumetric RelaxationHeart Sounds Cardiac OutputCardiac Reserve Factors that Influence Heart RatePositive Chronotropic Agents Negative Chronotropic AgentsVenous Return The Frank Starling LawIntropic Agents AfterloadVariables that Influence CO AnemiaAplastic Anemia Hemorrhagic AnemiaPernicious Anemia Sickle-cell diseasePolycythemia Physical Characteristics of BloodComponents of Blood Blood SmearCollins Osmotic Pressure Plasma proteinsAlbumin GlobulinsFibrinogen Regulatory ProteinsOther Solutes w/I Plasma Electrolytes in PlasmaNutrients in Plasma HemopoiesisMyeloid Line Lymphoid LineErythropoiesis LeukopoiesisThrombopoiesis Red Blood CellsHemoglobin OxyhemoglobinDeoxyhemoglobin CarbaminohemoglobinErythropoietin (EPO) Erythrocyte destructionIron Component of Hemoglobin during Destruction of Erythrocytes The Heme Group of Hemoglobin During Erythrocyte DestructionSurface Antigens AntibodyAgglutination ABO Blood TypesRh Factor White Blood CellsPlateletsHemostasis CoagulationIntrinsic Pathway Common PathwayExtensive Pathway Clot RetractionFibrinolysis Compensatory PolycythemiaRelative Polycythemia ErythrocytosisPolycythemia Vera: LeukemiaAcute leukemia Chronic leukemiaHemophilia Hemophilia AThrombocytopenia ThrombusEmbolus EmbolismStroke Pulmonary EmbolismAngina pectoris Myocardial infarctionPericarditis Cardiac arrhythmiaAtrial flutter Atrial FibrillationVentricular fibrillation Cardiac arrestHeart murmur Valvular stenosisBradycardia TachycardiaSimple Pathway Includes Alternative Pathway IncludesAnastomosis The Three Tunics of Vessel Walls (in order from outermost to innermost)Vasoconstrictor AutoregulationVasa vasorum Companion vesselsVasomotor Tone Bulk FlowFiltration Hydrostatic PressureColloid Osmotic Pressure Net Filtration a pressureAngiogenesis Total Blood FlowBlood Pressure Blood Pressure Gradient",

It moves heat from your body core to your toes, fingers, and head on a cold day. And it also distributes nutrients from your meals throughout your body, feeding your bones, nerves, organs, and tissues in your body. The pump the drives the cardiovascular system is your heart. The hearts muscles, the among most powerful in your body, drives blood down your trunk, your legs, in and out of your arms, throughout every organ in your body. But your heart does not drive blood throughout your body in a circle, but in a more of a figure-8 pattern. The heart pumps blood along two pathways in your body, the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, the heart pumps blood to the lungs, then back to the heart."

"text": "\"Throughout history, people have believed the heart plays a vital role in the body. The ancients supposed it was the seat of the spirit, the center of happiness, and in control of both the emotions and the intellect. Even today, we place the heart at the root of our emotions when we speak of being heartbroken or brave at heart. It is true that the heart plays an essential, life-giving role in an animal's body, but the mystery of what function it actually performs has been solved. The heart is the pump that drives the cardiovascular system. Function of the Cardiovascular System By circulating blood throughout the body, the cardiovascular system functions to supply the tissues with oxygen and nutrients, while removing carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes. As oxygen-rich blood from the heart flows to the tissues of the body, oxygen and other chemicals move out of the blood and into the fluid surrounding the cells of the body's tissues. Waste products and carbon dioxide move into the blood to be carried away. As blood circulates through organs such as the liver and kidneys some of these waste products are removed. Blood then returns to the lungs (or gills, in the case of fish), receives a fresh dose of oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide."

"text": "\"RESPIRATIONCONCEPTRespiration is much more than just breathing; in fact, the term refers to two separate processes, only one of which is the intake and outflow of breath. At least cellular respiration, the process by which organisms convert food into chemical energy, requires oxygen; on the other hand, some forms of respiration are anaerobic, meaning that they require no oxygen. Such is the case, for instance, with some bacteria, such as those that convert ethyl alcohol to vinegar. Likewise, an anaerobic process can take place in human muscle tissue, producing lactic acid—something so painful that it feels as though vinegar itself were being poured on an open sore. HOW IT WORKSF ORMS OF R ESPIRATIONRespiration can be defined as the process by which an organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, one in which the circulating medium of the organism (e.g., the blood) comes into contact with air or dissolved gases. Either way, this means more or less the same thing as breathing. In some cases, this meaning of the term is extended to the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and, eventually, into cells or the release of carbon dioxide from cells into the bloodstream and thence to the lungs, from whence it is expelled to the environment. Sometimes a distinction is made between external respiration, or an exchange of gases with the external environment, and internal respiration, an exchange of gases between the body's cells and the blood, in which the blood itself \"\"bathes\"\" the cells with oxygen and receives carbon dioxide to transfer to the environment. This is just one meaning—albeit a more familiar one—of the word respiration. Respiration also can mean cellular respiration, a series of chemical reactions within cells whereby food is \"\"burned\"\" in the presence of oxygen and converted into carbon dioxide and water."

Create a free account Maybe later Sort Intro to Blood Vessels Blood vessels are the conduits through which blood passes and is transported to all body tissues. The ventricles of the heart pump blood into the large arteries under pressure which propels blood through the progressively smaller and smaller branching network of blood vessels, of which the smallest vessels penetrate/reside within body tissues to allow the exchange of nutrients, gases, wastes, etc. Blood drains from these smallest vessels into a series of progressively larger and larger blood vessels which ultimately empty into the great veins of the heart, returning the blood to the heart before being propelled towards body tissues again. The two major circulatory paths of the body- the systemic circulation and the pulmonary circulation- are similarly structured, but facilitate different processes. Where the systemic circulation delivers oxygenated blood to body tissues and returns deoxygenated blood to the heart, the pulmonary circulation delivers deoxygenated blood to the lungs for gas exchange with external air, returning oxygenated blood to the heart. Blood passes through one circulatory path, then the other in a continuous pattern, facilitating the necessary transportation and exchange of numerous substance between different body regions to sustain cell and tissue functions throughout the body. Define Blood Vessels Blood vessels are tubular organs which create a branching network throughout the body that transports and distributes blood. The heart pumps the blood into, and generates pressure to drive the movement of blood through, the blood vessels."

"text": "Computers in Human Behavior Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2007, Pages 536-553How do instructional designers use automated instructional design tool? Letitia Uduma a 1 Gary R. Morrison b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2004.10.040 Get rights and content Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of an automated design tool by naive, novice, and expert instructional designers. A talk-aloud protocol, attitude survey, performance assessment, and direct observation were used to gather data. While the expert designers used the tool, they used it as a word processor with a rich database of instructional strategies. The novice designers relied on the tool for advice, guidance, and assistance in completing all the design tasks. Non-designers used the tool for learning about design. The novice designer is likely to gain more benefit from using the tool than a naı¨ve or expert designer. Novice designers can use the tool to reinforce their prior knowledge as well as filling in any gaps in the knowledge of the design process. Based on this study, we might expect the use of an automated tool to diminish as the designer gains experience. Non-designers should probably be trained on instructional design tasks prior to exposure to automated instructional design tools."

Success of using technology and manipulatives to introduce numerical problem solving skills in monolingual/bilingual early childhood classrooms. Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 18 (4), 361-369. This study tested the effectiveness of using manipulatives and technology to teach numerical problem solving skills, including counting, identifying shapes, matching colors and numbers, addition, and subtraction. Children (ages 4-6) in five early childhood classrooms were studied using M&M candies and Skittles (for those allergic to chocolate) as manipulatives. Of the 101 students, 41 were monolingual and 60 were bilingual. The candy was used as a hands-on tool to supplement the M&M Counting Book (Mc Grath, 1995), which was used as part of the mathematics curriculum. The software used in this study included: Kids Math (Great Wave Software), Stickybear's Math Town (Optimum Resources, Inc.), and Stickybear Shapes (Optimum Resources, Inc.). Students were given M&M candies (or Skittles) and a counting sheet. The teacher read the M&M Counting Book and made observations as students performed the activities presented in the book."

A training program may range from formal classes to one-on-one mentoring, and it may take place on the job or at remote locations. No matter what its form, training can benefit the organization when it is linked to organizational needs and when it motivates employees. This chapter describes how to plan and carry out an effective training program. We begin by discussing how to develop effective training in the context of the organization's strategy. Next, we discuss how organizations assess employees' training needs. We then review training methods and the process of evaluating a training program. The chapter concludes by discussing some special applications of training: orientation of new employees and the management of diversity."

Introduction to Software Development Life Cycle Documentation The IT Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is used in project management to develop (or modify existing) information systems or applications. Regardless of whether you are looking for information on the SDLC process itself, SDLC documentation, SDLC documents / SDLC forms / SDLC templates, if you can spare 30-60 minutes (depending on how in-depth you wish to pursue the subject), this SDLC tutorial will provide you an invaluable overview of the following topics that hopefully will satisfy your needs: SDLC Phases SDLC Framework SDLC Documentation Methodology SDLC Documentation Process SDLC Documentation Templates / SDLC Documentation Forms SDLC Models The SDLC process provides Information Technology (IT) project managers with the tools to help ensure successful implementation of systems or applications that satisfy strategic and business objectives. SDLC documentation provides a mechanism to ensure that executive leadership, functional managers, and users sign-off on the requirements and implementation of the system. The process provides management with the capability to design, develop, and implement an intended system and ensure that its completed on time delivery and within budget. The software development life cycle process includes multiple phases from the project viability determined in the Concept / Initiation Phase through the Project Closure / Maintenance Phase of the completed system or application. SDLC Frameworks Many corporations and government agencies have implemented systems development life cycle (SDLC) frameworks that include methods, processes, workflow, documentation, and tools. These SDLC Frameworks help the organization reduce risks and ensure program and project investments are realized within their budget, scope, time and quality constraints. Project managers have been taught that there are always two lifecycles at play on any project; these are Project and Product-oriented lifecycles. While project lifecycles facilitates management of the project, product lifecycles guide the design, development, testing, deployment and sustainment of the \"\"deliverables\"\" of the project."

Gray After reading this chapter you will be able to: • Define knowledge management, and distinguish between data, information and knowledge. • Describe and explain the growing strategic significance of knowledge management. • Explain why knowledge management is as much about people as it is about systems. • Explain the functions of a knowledge management system. • Devise a strategy for introducing or modifying knowledge management in your own organisation. In this book, we have explored a wide range of issues connected with learning in the workplace, including theories of learning and how learning is recognised, assessed and accredited. However, and particularly in the last ten years, interest has moved beyond any formal notions of learning onto what has been termed ‘knowledge management’ (KM), of which formal, non-formal, and informal learning is seen as a subset. In one sense, knowledge management (KM) has been with us, in various guises, since the dawn of humanity. Even stone-age societies evolved processes for survival that had to be understood and passed down (orally and through example) to each generation. Intellectually, one of the original sources of KM lies in western philosophy in the work, amongst others, of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, and in eastern philosophy in the teachings of Confucius and Lao Tzu."

A program is a set of step-by-step instructions that directs the computer to do the tasks you want it to do and produce the results you want. There are at least three good reasons for learning programming: Programming helps you understand computers. The computer is only a tool. If you learn how to write simple programs, you will gain more knowledge about how a computer works. Writing a few simple programs increases your confidence level. Many people find great personal satisfaction in creating a set of instructions that solve a problem. Learning programming lets you find out quickly whether you like programming and whether you have the analytical turn of mind programmers need."

These groups have many different forms. Group forms can be formal, informal, organized, structured, ad-hoc, local, or national. Groups may range from having a narrowly defined to a broad focus. One of the ways a group addresses its purpose is by having structural guidelines. Bylaws are tools for doing this. Bylaws give members of a group or organization direction and guidelines for what is accepted behavior within the particular organization. If the boundaries of an organization are defined but the function is not, problems like conflict of interest, misdirection of focus or lack of productive activity will occur. So how do organizations define their boundaries and operations? Developing a set of bylaws is a component of having group structural guidelines."

An important component of the revision is the addition of design controls. Because design controls must apply to a wide variety of devices, the regulation does not prescribe the practices that must be used. Instead, it establishes a framework that manufacturers must use when developing and implementing design controls. The framework provides manufacturers with the flexibility needed to develop design controls that both comply with the regulation and are most appropriate for their own design and development processes. This guidance is intended to assist manufacturers in understanding the intent of the regulation. Design controls are based upon quality assurance and engineering principles. This guidance complements the regulation by describing its intent from a technical perspective using practical terms and examples. Draft guidance was made publicly available in March, 1996. We appreciate the many comments, suggestions for improvement, and encouragement we received from industry, interested parties, and the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) Study Group 3."

Introduction Societies have long had an interest in the ways in which their young are prepared for citizenship and in how they learn to take part in civic life. Today that interest might better be described as a concern-in fact as a growing concern, particularly in democratic societies. There is evidence aplenty that no country, including our own United States, has achieved the level of understanding and acceptance of the rights and responsibilities among the totality of its citizens that is required for the maintenance and improvement of any constitutional democracy. In the past decade we have witnessed dramatic demands for freedom on the part of peoples from Asia to Africa and from Central and Eastern Europe to Latin America. And as we have seen one totalitarian or authoritarian regime after another toppled and fledgling democratic governments replace them, we may have become too optimistic about the future of democracy."

"text": "\"A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Helping Hispanic Students Reach High Academic Standards, December 2000Implementing Effective, Aligned, Standards-Based Programs Learning occurs through guidance, practice, and experience. Effective school programs provide the kinds of guidance, practice, and experience that enable Hispanic students to absorb their schools' curriculum and to demonstrate their learning on tests designed for that purpose. Different types of learners may need different opportunities to master the same curriculum. For example, a beginning reader who has little experience with books needs to be guided through the basics--how to hold a book, where to find the first page, and how to fit the pictures and words together. A beginning reader who is familiar with books from read-aloud sessions with adults may already know these things. Similarly, different types of learners may need different tests to demonstrate the same mastery. A youngster who comes to school speaking only Spanish may well be able to demonstrate academic readiness skills such as retelling a familiar story, elaborating on the plot and characters, or counting to 10--but not in English. Appropriate practice and experience for learning vary according to the learners, even when the learning goals are the same for all. Classroom Instruction Is Aligned with Standards and Assessments During the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, efforts to improve student achievement led to widespread adoption of state standards and development of related assessment systems and, in many cases, curriculum frameworks. As communities fleshed out the detailsof these ambitious agendas, districts and schools began to change what they taught and tested to reflect their overarching standards for achievement."

"text": "\"Culture, Community and the Curriculumby Ray Barnhardt University of Alaska Fairbanks This article was originally published by the Center for Cross Cultural Studies, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1981. Any approach to educational development is a multi-faceted affair, with many dimensions on which decisions must be made, and numerous alternatives from which to choose on each dimension. Of primary importance, however, is that the alternatives selected be commonly understood and agreed upon, and that they reflect consistency from one dimension to the next. A common thread throughout most formal education programs for minority people has been the relative absence of either of these conditions. Only rarely are the ends toward which minority programs are directed made explicit, and when they are, different interpretations exist so that the means used to attain the ends are often inconsistent and sometimes conflicting. The School and the Curriculum The four basic dimensions of any educational program are, 1) the goals or function, 2) the content, 3) the structure, and 4) the methods used. If an approach is to be effective, all four dimensions must be functionally integrated, and consistent with the underlying processes through which they interact to form a whole. That is, each dimension must be mutually reinforcing of each of the other dimensions if the total educational experience is to be cumulative and integrative for the student. To achieve such interrelatedness requires close attention to underlying processes of education, such as communication, cognition, and social interaction. We will examine some alternative goals and content for education as they relate to those processes first, and then turn to the structure and method through which they may be attained."

The convention was held in Denver, Colorado, from August 25 to August 28, 2008, at Pepsi Center. Senator Barack Obama from Illinois gave his acceptance speech on August 28 at Invesco Field in what the party called an \"\"Open Convention\"\". [ 1] [2] Denver last hosted the Democratic National Convention in 1908. Obama became the party's first African-American nominee for President. Senator Joe Biden from Delaware was nominated for Vice President. Obama officially received the nomination for President on August 27, when his former opponent, U. S. Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, interrupted the official roll call to move that Obama be selected by acclamation. [ 3] U. S. Senator Joe Biden of Delaware accepted the nomination for Vice President on the same night. Obama accepted his nomination the following night in a speech at INVESCO Field before a record-setting crowd of 84,000 people in attendance.

"text": "\"The Political Fray The 1992 Run For The Presidency Privately, Perot was not an admirer of fellow Texan George Bush, who was elected President in 1988. He was adamantly opposed to American involvement in the Gulf War and urged senators to vote against the war resolution in the fall of 1990. By the late summer of 1991, with Bush still riding high in the polls in the afterglow of the successful outcome of Operation Desert Storm, Perot began to consider a run for the presidency. Perot did polling, contacted political experts and started to lay the groundwork for a national campaign. In what would become frequent appearances over the next four years, Perot used the medium of CNN's \"\"Larry King Live!\"\" on February 20, 1992 to communicate for the first time his intentions to run if his supporters succeeded in getting his name on all 50 state ballots. With the Democrats dickering between two candidates with major public flaws, former Senator Paul Tsongas and Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, Perot's poll numbers rose rapidly. On March 30, Perot named retired Navy Vice Admiral James Stockdale, an Annapolis graduate, a former POW and a lecturer at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University, his provisional Vice Presidential running mate. By April, 1992 he was clearly competitive with both President Bush and the presumptive Democratic nominee, Clinton. In several national polls, Perot was found to be in a statistical dead heat with both Bush and Clinton."

The next Presidential election will be held on November 3, 2020. The election process begins with the primary elections and caucuses and moves to nominating conventions, during which political parties each select a nominee to unite behind. The nominee also announces a Vice Presidential running mate at this time. The candidates then campaign across the country to explain their views and plans to voters and participate in debates with candidates from other parties. During the general election, Americans go to their polling place to cast their vote for President. But the tally of those votes—the popular vote—does not determine the winner."

"text": "Chapter 8Presidential Campaigns Chapter Study Outline Introduction There is a high level of skepticism as to how much presidential campaigns can actually affect the outcomes of the elections—in many cases, the state of the economy, the underlying political landscape, and other factors that are out of the hands of the candidates may be more significant. However, campaigns act as an important disseminator of information on the candidate, as well as reminders to constituents where their loyalties should lie. When developing strategies, presidential candidates are influenced by state primaries and caucuses in which they gain their parties’ nomination, as well as the needed Electoral College votes in the general election, which are determined by seats garnered by winner-take-all popular votes in each state that then are counted toward each candidate. Goals of Presidential Campaigns Presidential candidates must meet two goals in order to be successful. The first is gaining their parties’ nomination by winning a sufficient number of delegates at the national convention. This is done usually through state primaries, but sometimes with state conventions and caucuses. The second goal is that after being nominated, the candidate must gain a majority of seats in the Electoral College, in which each state is given a certain number of seats depending on population size, and winner-take-all contests in each state determines who gains the seats. There are situations in which these two goals conflict with one another. Voters in primaries and at state conventions and caucuses are usually much more idealistic and expect their potential nominees to adhere strongly to the party line. The important votes to gain in the general election are usually moderate voters who are much more centrist in their beliefs, so the candidates must devise a strategy, either by slightly changing their message or by finding a consistent middle ground, that does not alienate these voters."

S. presidential election. Senator Barack Obama of Illinois was selected as the nominee, becoming the first African-American to secure the presidential nomination of any major political party in the United States. However, due to a close race between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, the contest remained competitive for longer than expected, and neither candidate received enough pledged delegates from state primaries and caucuses to achieve a majority, without endorsements from unpledged delegates ( superdelegates ). The presidential primaries actually consisted of both primary elections and caucuses, depending upon what the individual state chose. The goal of the process was to elect the majority of the 4,233 delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which was held from Sunday, August 25, through Wednesday, August 28, 2008, in Denver, Colorado. To secure the nomination, a candidate needed to receive at least 2,117 votes at the convention—or a simple majority of the 4,233 delegate votes. This total included half-votes from American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, and Democrats Abroad, as well as ' superdelegates ' - party leaders and elected officials who were not chosen through a primary or caucus. The race was further complicated by a controversy over the scheduling of the Michigan and Florida state primaries, which had been scheduled earlier than party rules permitted, affecting the number of delegates that those states sent to the national convention. The popular vote tally from most news organizations did not include Iowa, Maine, Nevada, and Washington."

Registered voters in all 1,681 precincts in 99 counties vote in the caucus for the party they are registered as a member.

It can provide candidates with momentum going into the following contests. Candidates who do poorly in their caucus are likely to drop out in the following days. [ 3] Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have had a 43% success rate at predicting which Democratic candidate for president and a 50% success rate at predicting which Republican candidate for president will go on to win the nomination of their political party at that party's national convention.

[ 3] In accordance with the 25th Amendment, he is the highest-ranking official in the presidential line of succession, and is a statutory member of the National Security Council under the National Security Act of 1947. As the Senate president, the vice president presides over its deliberations (or delegates this task to a member of the Senate), but is allowed to vote only when it is necessary to break a tie. [ 3] While this vote-casting prerogative has been exercised chiefly on legislative issues, it has also been used to break ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of Senate committees. [ 4] In this capacity, the vice president also presides over joint sessions of Congress. [ 3]The vice president is indirectly elected, together with the president, to a four-year term of office by the people of the United States through the Electoral College. The Office of the Vice President assists and organizes the vice president's official functions. The role of the vice presidency evolved during the 20th century into more of an executive branch position, and today the vice president is widely seen as an integral part of a president's administration, and presides over the Senate only infrequently.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( March 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In United States politics, a brokered convention (sometimes referred to as an open convention and closely related to a contested convention) can occur during a presidential election when a political party fails to choose a nominee on the first round of delegate voting at the party's nominating convention. Once the first ballot, or vote, has occurred, and no candidate has a majority of the delegates' votes, the convention is then considered brokered; thereafter, the nomination is decided through a process of alternating political horse trading — (super) delegate vote trading—and additional re-votes. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] In this circumstance, all regular delegates (who may have been pledged to a particular candidate according to rules which vary from state to state) are \"\"released\"\" and are able to switch their allegiance to a different candidate before the next round of balloting. It is hoped that this extra privilege extended to the delegates will result in a re-vote yielding a clear majority of delegates for one candidate. The term \"\"brokered\"\" implies a strong role for political bosses, more common in the past and associated with deals made in proverbial \"\" smoke-filled rooms \"\", while the term \"\"contested\"\" is a more modern term for a convention where no candidate holds a majority but the role of party leaders is weaker in determining the eventual outcome. [ 5]For the Democratic Party, unpledged delegate votes, also called \"\" Superdelegate votes\"\" are counted on the first ballot. Although some use the term \"\"brokered convention\"\" to refer to a convention where the outcome is decided by Superdelegate votes rather than pledged delegates alone, this is not the original sense of the term, nor has it been a commonly used definition of a \"\"contested convention.\"\" ["

"text": "The Role of Delegates in the U. S. Presidential Nominating Process TOOLBOXResize Print E-mail Reprints Joanna Klonsky Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday, February 6, 2008; 12:22 PMIntroduction In recent decades, the presidential candidates of the two major political parties in the United States generally have emerged during state-by-state primary elections and caucuses which occur in the winter and spring before a general election. Officially, candidates only become their party s presidential nominee after a vote is taken by party delegates to the Republican or Democratic presidential nominating conventions later in the summer. These delegates are supposed to take their cue from the voters who cast ballots during their states primaries and caucuses, though each party's rules make it possible for multiple rounds of balloting and significant horse trading if no candidate is able to muster a majority on the first ballot. In recent years, this has not happened. Since 1976, in fact, no major party convention has opened with the identity of the nominee in question. This year's election could see a return to contested conventions, however, due to the highly competitive state of both the Republican and Democratic primaries. The Democratic Party s nominating process could be especially complex because its rules allow for a more proportional system of delegate voting and for the presence of superdelegates, comprised of each state s elected representatives in congress, who are obliged to commit to any particular candidate. In the case of both parties, the delegate system is aimed at making sure party faithful choose the most representative, as well as most competitive candidate to represent them in the general election. But even to those following the U. S. presidential campaign closely, the role of delegates in selecting the party nominees can be confusing. What is a delegate?"

"text": "\"DELEGATE COUNTING DEFINITIONS\"\"The Green Papers\"\" has two methods of counting the National Convention delegates for both major parties as they are allocated throughout the pre-Convention period (beginning with the January caucuses and ending with the last State Conventions in some of the caucus/convention states in June): a so-called \"\"hard count\"\" (which appears on our site as a \"\" Hard Total \"\" column to the right side of all graphs [those for the Conventions as a whole as well as for the major parties in each state]) along with a so-called \"\"soft count\"\" (which appears in the other three columns on our graphs- columns labeled \"\" Soft Pledged \"\", \"\" Soft Unpledged \"\" and \"\" Soft Total \"\"). The differences between these two counts of delegates is now to be explained: HARD TOTAL - formal allocation The \"\"hard count\"\" consists of a count of the National Convention delegates as they are formally allocated to presidential contenders (or to the ranks of the \"\"Uncommitted\"\") under the rules governing the selection of such delegates in each state or other jurisdiction (D. C., Puerto Rico or other U. S. territories). No delegates are placed in the \"\"hard count\"\" column unless and until they have been so allocated. The \"\"soft count\"\", meanwhile, is an estimation- based on the best possible information available to \"\"The Green Papers\"\" at the time- as to which presidential contenders delegates (even those who are nominally \"\"Unpledged\"\") will support on the floor of the Convention. The \"\"hard count\"\" is cumulative: that is, as each bloc of delegates from a given state or other jurisdiction is formally allocated to presidential contenders or \"\"Uncommitted\"\", that allocation is- in effect- \"\"frozen\"\" in time; the number of delegates allocated to each presidential contender or \"\"Uncommitted\"\" will, therefore, continue to add up as the pre-Convention process goes along. Even if a presidential contender already formally/officially allocated delegates should subsequently drop out of the nomination race and release his delegates (in which case, his delegates could conceivably support another contender or become \"\"Uncommitted\"\") or a formally \"\"Uncommitted\"\" delegate indicate his/her preference for a given presidential contender prior to the National Conventions, any delegates already allocated to a given contender (or formally \"\"Uncommitted\"\") will continue to be counted as allocated to that contender (or \"\"Uncommitted\"\") in the \"\"hard count\"\" of \"\"The Green Papers\"\"- for a change in the support for a presidential contender by (or the \"\"uncommitted\"\" status of) a delegate, once that delegate is formally allocated by the delegate selection procedures of a state party, does not become official until that delegate first casts a vote during the Roll Call of the States for the party's Presidential Nomination on the floor of that party's National Convention. The Green Papers \"\"hard count\"\", when posted, is (in order of preference) either (a) a state's or party's official breakdown of its delegation, (b) our initial soft count, or (c) the best sources' breakdown of the delegation (even where it differs from our soft count). We will choose (c) when our initial soft count is based upon incomplete information. SOFT PLEDGED, SOFT UNPLEDGED, SOFT TOTAL - estimated allocation The \"\"soft count\"\", on the other hand, will reflect the support for each presidential contender by either Pledged or Unpledged delegates- whether formally allocated yet or not- as best can be estimated by \"\"The Green Papers\"\"; it could, conceivably change even day to day as presidential contenders might be forced out of the nomination race- perhaps releasing any delegates which might have already been formally allocated to them- or delegates once in the ranks of the \"\"Uncommitted\"\" might begin to indicate support of a given presidential contender even before the National Conventions convene this Summer! Delegates listed as \"\"available\"\" in the soft count, are \"\"not yet estimated\"\"."

Democrat Franklin Pierce, a former Senator from New Hampshire, defeated General Winfield Scott, the Whig nominee. This was the last election in which the Whigs served as the principal opposition to the Democrats. Incumbent Whig President Millard Fillmore had acceded to the presidency after the death of President Zachary Taylor in 1850. Due to Fillmore's support of the Compromise of 1850 and his enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, he was popular in the South but opposed by many Northern Whigs. On the 53rd ballot of the 1852 Whig National Convention, Scott defeated Fillmore to clinch the party's nomination. The Democrats were divided among four major candidates, who traded leads through the first 48 ballots of the 1852 Democratic National Convention."

In presidential elections, political parties nominate their candidates at national party conventions. Each state's party members are represented by a number of delegates who vote at the convention. Fifteen U. S. states and territories use caucuses to select delegates for each party's convention, and four others use a mix of caucus and primary election. Each election year, approximately 10 percent of Democratic and 15 percent of Republican delegates are chosen by caucuses. An American Institution From the early 1800s, caucuses became the preferred way for parties to select presidential candidates. Those early caucuses were only open to high-ranking or elected officials within the party, but by 1830 movements began to open these early contests to ordinary party members. For years, most states used caucuses to determine their choice for presidential candidate. However, following the 1968 election, Democrats pushed to make the selection process more open to everyday citizens."

Goblet cells secrete mucus, which lubricates the passage of food along and protects the intestinal wall from digestive enzymes. In the small intestine, villi are folds of the mucosa that increase the surface area of the intestine. The villi contain a lacteal, a vessel connected to the lymph system that aids in the removal of lipids and tissue fluids. Microvilli are present on the epithelium of a villus and further increase the surface area over which absorption can take place. Numerous intestinal glands as pocket-like invaginations are present in the underlying tissue. In the large intestines, villi are absent and a flat surface with thousands of glands is observed. Underlying the epithelium is the lamina propria, which contains myofibroblasts, blood vessels, nerves, and several different immune cells, and the muscularis mucosa which is a layer of smooth muscle that aids in the action of continued peristalsis and catastalsis along the gut. The submucosa contains nerves including the submucous plexus (Meissner's plexus), blood vessels and elastic fibres with collagen, that stretches with increased capacity but maintains the shape of the intestine. Surrounding this is the muscular layer, which comprises both longitudinal and circular smooth muscle that also helps with continued peristalsis and the movement of digested material out of and along the gut."

Thus, the ability to digest large molecules from the environment to produce energy and to provide molecular building blocks has been a characteristic of living things for billions of years. Bacteria and protists can release digestive enzymes into their environment and, after chemical digestion, absorb the simpler molecules. Controlling the acid levels of digestion is important since many digestive enzymes have an optimum p H at which they work best. The typical eukaryotic cell possesses intracellular organelles called lysosomes which digest molecules in an acidic medium. In many protists and sponges, the intracellular digestion which follows phagocytosis occurs first in an acidic environment, then in an alkaline environment, interestingly similar to the sequence in the stomach and intestine of vertebrates (Barrington, p. 172). Cnidarians (such as the Hydra in the adjacentimage) do not possess organs or systems, but they possess a number of significant characteristics of the digestive systems of higher animals. They possess a mouth and a gastrovascular cavity. The food which will be digested can be trapped by mucus and moved to the gastrovascular cavity by the action of cilia."

"text": "Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal Tract Digestive System Diagram Gastrointestinal Tract The gastrointestinal (GI) tract (also digestive tract, or alimentary canal) is the system of organs in the body that takes in food, digests it for the absorption of nutrients and energy, and expels waste material. The major functions of the GI tract are categorized as four distinct processes: Ingestion is the consumption of food and other substances through the mouth, as they pass by chewing and swallowing into the GI tract. Digestion is the process of metabolism by which ingested substances are mechanically and chemically converted for use by the body. Digestion is further categorized into three distinct phases: the cephalic phase in which taste and smell stimulate the nervous system to prepare the body for eating and digestion; the gastric phase in which passage of food into the stomach stimulates the release of gastric juices and p H balancing mechanisms throughout the system; and the intestinal phase in which excitatory and inhibitory reflexes control the passage of partially digested food into and through the intestines. Absorption is the movement of metabolized nutrients and water from the digestive system into the circulatory and lymphatic capillaries by osmosis, active transport, and diffusion through the cells in the walls and surrounding layers of intestines and their supporting circulatory systems. Excretion or egestion is the elimination of undigested, mostly solid material from the GI tract by defecation. Fluid products of metabolism throughout the body are also excreted by organ systems not directly part of the GI tract and digestive system, such as the kidneys, skin, and lungs. In addition to processing nutrients as the principal pathways of the digestive system, the GI tract is also a prominent part of the immune system, providing various levels of defense against pathogenic microorganisms and potentially toxic substances throughout the path of digestion. Dysfunction anywhere in the GI tract, whether by disease, trauma, or anatomical anomaly, can result in symptoms or conditions affecting the well-being of the entire individual. Many diseases and disorders of the GI tract can result in feeding difficulties in children and infants."

The mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines are part of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal is an adjective meaning of or pertaining to the stomach and intestines. A tract is a collection of related anatomic structures or a series of connected body organs. All bilaterians have a gastrointestinal tract, also called a gut or an alimentary canal. This is a tube that transfers food to the organs of digestion. [ 1] In large bilaterians, the gastrointestinal tract generally also has an exit, the anus, by which the animal disposes of feces (solid wastes). Some small bilaterians have no anus and dispose of solid wastes by other means (for example, through the mouth). ["

Human digestive system Human digestive system Details Identifiers Latin Systema digestorium Me SH D004064TA A05.0.00.000FMA 7152Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder ). [ 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."

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

"text": "\"Overview of the Digestive System The function of the digestive system is to break down the foods you eat, release their nutrients, and absorb those nutrients into the body. Although the small intestine is the workhorse of the system, where the majority of digestion occurs, and where most of the released nutrients are absorbed into the blood or lymph, each of the digestive system organs makes a vital contribution to this process ( [link] ). Components of the Digestive System All digestive organs play integral roles in the life-sustaining process of digestion. As is the case with all body systems, the digestive system does not work in isolation; it functions cooperatively with the other systems of the body. Consider for example, the interrelationship between the digestive and cardiovascular systems. Arteries supply the digestive organs with oxygen and processed nutrients, and veins drain the digestive tract. These intestinal veins, constituting the hepatic portal system, are unique; they do not return blood directly to the heart. Rather, this blood is diverted to the liver where its nutrients are off-loaded for processing before blood completes its circuit back to the heart. At the same time, the digestive system provides nutrients to the heart muscle and vascular tissue to support their functioning. The interrelationship of the digestive and endocrine systems is also critical."

While the occasional traffic jam inconveniences most drivers, some unlucky people live in the nation's most congested cities. In addition to spending an average of 42 hours a year in traffic, drivers in these cities face peak hour congestion that can increase travel time during rush hour by 15% or more. INRIX, a traffic information and services group, collects data for individual road segments. In its 2012 Traffic Scorecard, INRIX calculated the amount of time that congestion added to drivers' peak hour commute for each road. After aggregating these segments for each metropolitan area, it ranked the Los Angeles area as the city with the worst congestion in 2012. At peak hours, traffic on Interstate 405 in Los Angeles moved at just 14 miles per hour, adding 26 minutes to what should be an eight minute drive. Based on the INRIX Traffic Scorecard, these are the 10 cities with the worst traffic. According to INRIX, congestion is the difference between the drivers' actual speed on the road during peak hours and their speed when congestion is not an issue, as distinguished from how fast people are traveling during peak hours."

Nelson, Armand Emamdjomeh and Joseph Sernacontact the reporters July 12, 2015It's evening rush hour near Mac Arthur Park, and the streets teem with activity. Crowds pack the crosswalks, weaving around cars that nose through to make right turns. Men pull food carts and women push strollers toward the Metro Rail station, accompanied by the strains of pop music from cars and businesses. This is the kind of dense, transit-oriented neighborhood that Los Angeles officials say the car-clogged city needs to replicate. ADVERTISEMENTBut Westlake's bustling character also makes it one of the city's most dangerous areas for pedestrians: On four blocks of South Alvarado Street, the neighborhood's backbone, 90 people were hit by cars in a period of 12 years. A Los Angeles Times analysis shows nearly a quarter of traffic accidents involving a pedestrian occur at less than 1% of the city's intersections. Many of the most dangerous crossings, which see a disproportionately high rate of crashes, are clustered in high-density areas between downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. Pedestrians were involved in 1 in 10 traffic accidents in Los Angeles from 2002 through 2013, but represented more than 35% of road deaths. Many of the fatalities occurred on long, straight streets or near freeways. Urban planners say the data highlight the great challenge in Los Angeles' quest to be more pedestrian friendly: Its wide boulevards and sprawling grids, designed to move cars as quickly as possible, are vestiges of the past that put pedestrians of the present in danger."

The so-called \"\"cashless toll\"\" is the holy grail of transportation officials all over America. In states with automatic toll collection systems such as EZpass, as many as 80 percent of cars have transponders. The remaining 20 percent represent a barrier to creating a system to collect tolls without actual human beings doing the collecting. The solution is to scan the plates of those cars and send the owners a bill in the mail. That solution creates a lot of problems of its own, but that didn't stop incoming Gov. Chris Christie's transition team from recommending the state implement cash-free tolling on the Interstates in 2010. One thing saved Jersey drivers from that dire fate. Christie had won election the year before largely because Jon Corzine's toll-hike plan was so unpopular. Imposing new tolls would have been too much of an embarrassment.

Although the introduction of the mass-produced car represented a revolution in industry and convenience [3] [4], creating job demand and tax revenue, the high motorisation rates also brought severe consequences to the society and to the environment. The modern negative consequences of heavy automotive use include the use of non-renewable fuels, a dramatic increase in the rate of accidental death, the disconnection of local community [5] [6], the decrease of local economy [7], the rise in obesity and cardiovascular diseases, the emission of air and noise pollution, the emission of greenhouse gases, generation of urban sprawl and traffic, segregation of pedestrians and other active mobility means of transport, decrease in the railway network, urban decay and the high cost per unit-distance on which the car paradigm is based.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Peak-load pricing)navigation search For the broader concept of direct charges paid by road users, see road pricing. Electronic Road Pricing gantry in Singapore, the first city in the world to implement an urban cordon area congestion pricing scheme. Congestion pricing or congestion charges is a system of surcharging users of public goods that are subject to congestion through excess demand such as higher peak charges for use of bus services, electricity, metros, railways, telephones, and road pricing to reduce traffic congestion; airlines and shipping companies may be charged higher fees for slots at airports and through canals at busy times. This pricing strategy regulates demand, making it possible to manage congestion without increasing supply. According to the economic theory behind congestion pricing, the objective of this policy is the use of the price mechanism to make users conscious of the costs that they impose upon one another when consuming during the peak demand, and that they should pay for the additional congestion they create, thus encouraging the redistribution of the demand in space or in time, and forcing them to pay for the negative externalities they create, making users more aware of their impact on the environment. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5]The application on urban roads is currently limited to a few cities, including London, Stockholm, Singapore, Milan, and Gothenburg, as well as a few smaller towns, such as Durham, England; Znojmo, Czech Republic; Riga (the scheme ended in 2008), Latvia; and Valletta, Malta. Four general types of systems are in use; a cordon area around a city center, with charges for passing the cordon line; area wide congestion pricing, which charges for being inside an area; a city center toll ring, with toll collection surrounding the city; and corridor or single facility congestion pricing, where access to a lane or a facility is priced.

Critics maintain that congestion pricing is not equitable, places an economic burden on neighboring communities, has a negative effect on retail businesses and on economic activity in general, and represents another tax levy. A survey of economic literature on the subject, however, finds that most economists agree that some form of road pricing to reduce congestion is economically viable, although there is disagreement on what form road pricing should take."

These violations are classified as either moving or non-moving. A moving violation normally assesses points against the driver license while non-moving violations do not. These violations are not punishable by incarceration and there is no right to trial by jury or to court appointed counsel. Examples of Moving Violations are careless driving; fail to yield at a stop sign, etc. Examples of Non-Moving Violations are no seat belt, improper parking, etc. Upon receipt of a traffic ticket issued to you for a civil infraction, you have 30 days from the date of issuance to satisfy your obligation. Failure to satisfy your citation (s) by selecting one of the options within 30 days of the issue date will result in the suspension of your driver license and will require the payment of late fees.

Bebeto Matthews/APIt's the oldest and most basic form of transportation — walking — and more people are doing more of it to get fit or stay healthy. But there's new evidence today that even walking across the street is getting more dangerous. A report released today by the Governors Highway Safety Association shows that the number of pedestrians killed in traffic jumped 11 percent last year, to nearly 6,000. That's the biggest single-year increase in pedestrian fatalities ever, and the highest number in more than two decades. \"\" It is alarming,\"\" says GHSA executive director Jonathan Adkins, \"\"and it's counterintuitive. \"\"\"\" There's been an assumption that, because of increased safety of vehicles as we move toward semi-autonomous vehicles, that traffic deaths were going to go down,\"\" Adkins says. \"\" We're seeing just the opposite, unfortunately, with a particular spike as it relates to pedestrians and cyclists. \"\"U. S. Human Errors Drive Growing Death Toll In Auto Crashes Last month the National Safety Council reported that traffic deaths overall went up 6 percent nationwide in 2016. Maureen Vogel, spokeswoman for the council, says it stands to reason that pedestrian fatalities would rise as part of that trend, but she and other safety experts did not expect the rise in pedestrian deaths to so significantly outpace other traffic-related fatalities. \"\""

ADVERTISEMENTThe Texas Transportation Commission has approved the 85 mph speed limit for a 41-mile-long toll road near the increasingly crowded Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio. The road runs several miles east of the interstate between two of the state's largest metropolitan areas. And while some drivers may be eager to put the pedal to the metal and rip through the Central Texas countryside, others are asking if it is safe. \"\" The research is clear that when speed limits go up, fatalities go up,\"\" said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Higher speed limits get people to their destinations faster, Rader said, \"\"But the trade-off is more crashes and more highway deaths. \"\" A 2009 report in the American Journal of Public Health studied traffic fatalities in the U. S. from 1995 to 2005 and found that more than 12,500 deaths were attributable to increases in speed limits on all kinds of roads. The study also said that rural highways showed a 9.1 percent increase in fatalities on roads where speed limits were raised, but did not cite specific numbers in those instances. Most highways in the U. S. top out at 75 mph, and there are no longer any roads in the U. S. with no speed limit like Germany's autobahn.

It consists of two bored tunnels and the cable-stayed Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. The only fixed road crossing of the Thames east of Greater London, it is the busiest estuarial crossing in the United Kingdom, with an average daily use of over 130,000 vehicles. [ 1] It opened in stages: the west tunnel in 1963, the east tunnel in 1980 and the bridge in 1991. The crossing, although not officially designated a motorway, is considered part of the M25 motorway 's route, using the tunnels northbound and bridge southbound. Described as one of the most important road crossings in Britain, it suffers from heavy traffic and congestion. The crossing's development started in the late 1930s, but was interrupted due to the Second World War and resumed in the 1950s. The original tunnel catered for a single lane of traffic in each direction, but rising traffic levels required the second tunnel to be built."

A controlled-access highway is a type of highway which has been designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow and ingress/egress regulated. Common English terms are freeway (in Australia, South Africa and parts of the United States and Canada), motorway (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and parts of Australia), expressway (in some parts of Canada, parts of the United States, and many Asian countries), and autoroute (in Québec, Canada). Other similar terms include Interstate and parkway. Some of these may be limited-access highways, although this term can also refer to a class of highway with somewhat less isolation from other traffic.

"text": "\"Prevalence in epidemiology is the proportion of a particular population found to be affected by a medical condition (typically a disease or a risk factor such as smoking or seat-belt use). It is arrived at by comparing the number of people found to have the condition with the total number of people studied, and is usually expressed as a fraction, as a percentage, or as the number of cases per 10,000 or 100,000 people. Point prevalence is the proportion of a population that has the condition at a specific point in time. Period prevalence is the proportion of a population that has the condition at some time during a given period (e.g., 12 month prevalence), and includes people who already have the condition at the start of the study period as well as those who acquire it during that period. Lifetime prevalence (LTP) is the proportion of a population that at some point in their life (up to the time of assessment) have experienced the condition. [ 1]Prevalence estimates are used by epidemiologists, health care providers, government agencies, toxicologists, and insurers. Prevalence is contrasted with incidence, which is a measure of new cases arising in a population over a given period (month, year, etc.). The difference between prevalence and incidence can be summarized thus: prevalence answers \"\"How many people have this disease right now?\"\" or \"\"How many people have had this disease during this time period?\"\" and incidence answers \"\"How many people per year newly acquire this disease? \"\""

"text": "About Age Adjusted Rates, 95% Confidence Intervals and Unstable Rates What is age adjustment? Age adjustment is a statistical process applied to rates of disease, death, injuries or other health outcomes that allows communities with different age structures to be compared. Why do we do age adjustment? Almost all diseases or health outcomes occur at different rates in different age groups. Most chronic diseases, including most cancers, occur more often among older people. Other outcomes, such as many types of injuries, occur more often among younger people. The age distribution affects what the most common health problems in a community will be. One way of examining the patterns of health outcomes in communities of different sizes is to calculate an incidence or mortality rate, which is the number of new cases or deaths divided by the size of the population. In chronic diseases and injuries, rates are usually expressed in terms of the number of cases or deaths per 100,000 people per year. A community made up of more families with young children will have a higher rate of bicycle injuries than a community with fewer young children."

The latter are further classified into serotypes, with the Haemophilus influenzae serotype b being the most pathogenic for humans, responsible for respiratory infections, ocular infection, sepsis and meningitis. Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in children aged two months to five years, in those countries where suitable vaccination programmes are not in place. Children start showing symptoms of meningitis after a probable incubation period of about 2– 4 days and clinical manifestations tend to evolve rapidly. Even with adequate and prompt antibiotic treatment, mortality can reach up to 10% of cases. Vaccine prophilaxis is therefore of paramount importance, in order to protect children. Factsheet Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is an obligate human pathogen and an important cause of invasive bacterial infections in both children and adults, with the highest incidence among young children. An effective and safe vaccine against Hib has been available since the 1980s and most but not all EU Member States have included Hib vaccine in their national immunisation programs. Most invasive Hib infections can be prevented with immunisation and, where it has been used, vaccination against Hib has dramatically reduced the rate of invasive Hib disease in young children. The pathogen Haemophilus influenzae type b is an encapsulated, immotile and non-spore forming Gram-negative coccobacillus."

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance has been identified as a major public health crisis. National summary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that more than 2 million illnesses are attributable to resistant infections. 1 As a result of increasing prevalence of virulent and drug-resistant organisms, including Clostridium difficile, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and drug-resistant gram-negative organisms, there has been a call for the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) across the health care spectrum. 2 ASP refers to the development of programs that addresses the “appropriate selection, dosing, route, and duration of antimicrobial therapy”. Guidelines for the development of stewardship programs generally target stewardship activities in the acute care setting. 3 The success of stewardship programs in the hospital setting has been described, with reductions in the rate of C. difficile infection, antibiotic usage, and improved pharmacy expenditures. 4–6 Implementation of similar programs in long-term care facilities (LTCF) has been limited, despite the heavy use of antibiotics and high prevalence of resistant organisms in these settings. 7 To add to an already complicated picture, the population in the United States continues to age, with an estimated 21% of the population in 2040 consisting of adults 65 years of age and older. 8 As increased usage of LTCFs looms, the burden of inappropriate usage of antimicrobials in this health care setting will also increase in the absence of appropriate guidance."

Methods Women under 65 years, treated for CVD, diabetes, or SUI, were identified using administrative medical claims data from a large employer ( n >100,000). A case-control methodology was used to estimate the annual medical costs of these women. Based on these estimates and published government statistics, annual costs for women 65 years and older were calculated. An incidence-based methodology with steady-state assumptions was used to project to lifetime medical costs. Cost estimates are incremental, measured as the difference between costs of patients and their demographically similar controls without the condition. They therefore represent the additional costs of treating patients with the condition, beyond the average, baseline costs incurred by controls without the condition. Findings The incremental lifetime medical cost of treating a woman (in 2002 dollars) with CVD is $423,000, with diabetes is $233,000, and with SUI is $58,000. Including the baseline medical costs of the control, the total lifetime medical costs (i.e., sum of incremental and baseline lifetime medical costs) of treating a woman with CVD are 3.4 times greater than the costs of a woman without CVD. Similarly, a woman with diabetes has total costs on average, 2.5 times greater than the costs of her control, whereas a woman with SUI has total lifetime medical costs 1.8 times greater than the costs of a similar woman without SUI."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Psoriasis is a complex, chronic, multifactorial, inflammatory disease that involves hyperproliferation of the keratinocytes in the epidermis, with an increase in the epidermal cell turnover rate (see the image below). Environmental, genetic, and immunologic factors appear to play a role. The disease most commonly manifests on the skin of the elbows, knees, scalp, lumbosacral areas, intergluteal clefts, and glans penis. In up to 30% of patients, the joints are also affected. Treatment is based on surface areas of involvement, body site (s) affected, the presence or absence of arthritis, and the thickness of the plaques and scale. Plaque psoriasis is raised, roughened, and covered with white or silver scale with underlying erythema. Contributed by Randy Park, MD.

We estimated national and state-level potential medical care cost savings achievable through modest reductions in the prevalence of several diseases associated with the same lifestyle-related risk factors. Methods. Using Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component data (2003–2005), we estimated the effects on medical spending over time of reductions in the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and related conditions amenable to primary prevention by comparing simulated counterfactual morbidity and medical care expenditures to actual disease and expenditure patterns. We produced state-level estimates of spending by using multivariate reweighting techniques. Results. Nationally, we estimated that reducing diabetes and hypertension prevalence by 5% would save approximately $9 billion annually in the near term. With resulting reductions in comorbidities and selected related conditions, savings could rise to approximately $24.7 billion annually in the medium term."

To accomplish this goal, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) developed an enhanced measles vaccination strategy. Methods: Cost data was collected at PAHO for Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries covering 96% of the region’s population on components of the routine programs, and the ‘follow-up’ activities from member countries. In order to interpret our findings we have compared the present scenario regarding measles with one that would have ensued if past trends continued. Results: For the entire LAC population, estimated cost of elimination program will be US$ 571 million in present value terms. Interpretation: The vaccination strategy toward achieving elimination of measles costs US$ 244 million, incremental from the cost of vaccination before the elimination program. Within 2000–2020, the current program will have prevented the occurrence of 3.2 million cases of measles and 16,000 deaths. Thus, vaccination strategy prevents a single case of measles at the cost of US$ 71.75 and prevents a death due to measles at the cost of US$ 15,000. The case fatality rate depends on a well functioning treatment program for measles cases. The vaccination strategy saves a total of US$ 208 million in treatments costs due to reduced incidence of measles."

The large majority of persons with genital herpes do not know they have the disease 6 and infection and reactivation are typically “asymptomatic” although, with teaching, most persons with positive HSV-2 serology (46 of 53, in one study) recognize genital lesions. 5 Despite the typically asymptomatic nature of genital herpes, which facilitates its spread in the population, and means it is a useful marker of sexual behaviour, 7 genital herpes is associated with considerable morbidity and even mortality. Genital lesions due to herpes are often very painful, and can lead to substantial psychological morbidity. 4 The virus can also be passed from mother to child during birth. Neonatal infection can be very serious. 8 Without treatment, 80% of infants with disseminated disease die, and those who do survive are often brain damaged. 9 In one study in the United States of America (USA), four of nine infants born to women who acquired genital herpes shortly before labour developed neonatal infection, of whom one died."

Objectives: This study aims to identify both patient and anaesthetic factors that predispose to urinary retention, and in doing so develop a protocol of pre-operative urinary catheterisations that will minimize its incidence and subsequent complications, as well as hasten patient recovery and discharge. Methods: Analysis of prospectively collected data of 54 patients over a three-month period at a British district general hospital. Results:10% of patients in the study developed urinary retention, and 60% of these developed renal failure complicating recovery and lengthening stay. All were male, and a history of renal disease and a current elevated serum creatinine were identified as common factors in these patients. Conclusions: A protocol of pre-operatively catheterizing males with either a history of renal disease or a current elevated creatinine is suggested – this would potentially reduce incidence rates of urinary retention by 80% whilst only increasing the rate of unnecessary catheterizations by 2%. Introduction: Every year, approximately 200,000 people undergo elective total hip and knee replacement surgery in the UK 1. There is limited available literature on the incidence of post-operative urinary retention and even less regarding the onset of subsequent renal failure which, besides posing immediate medical problems, necessitates treatment and can significantly prolong recovery – all of which have personal and financial implications for both patient and healthcare trust. Summary of Current Literature: Surprisingly little research is available which offers data on the association on the incidence of, risk factors for, and associations with urinary retention for patients undergoing elective total hip or knee replacement surgery.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of PD in the People’s Republic of China and explore possible future research directions. Methods: We systematically retrieved studies of the prevalence and incidence of PD in the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and standardized the data according to the world’s population in 2000. Results: Fifteen eligible studies were retrieved. Most were cross-sectional studies, and two thirds of the research was from the People’s Republic of China. The prevalence of PD was reported in all the studies, but only two studies reported incidence data. The prevalence of PD in the People’s Republic of China ranged from 16 to 440.3/100,000, and the annual incidence ranged from 1.5 to 8.7/100,000. Conclusion: The prevalence of PD in the People’s Republic of China has been widely investigated in the studies published to date. However, due to methodological heterogeneity, the data reported by the different studies are not comparable."

"text": "DEFINITIONS (Technical meaning of terms used in the text)1. Carrier —A person or animal that harbors a specific infectious agent without discernible clinical disease and serves as a potential source of infection. The carrier state may exist in an individual with an infection that is inapparent throughout its course (commonly known as healthy or asymptomatic carrier), or during the incubation period, convalescence and postconvalescence of an individual with a clinically recognizable disease (commonly known as an incubatory or convalescent carrier). Under either circumstance the carrier state may be of short or long duration (temporary or transient carrier, or chronic carrier).2. Case-fatality rate —Usually expressed as the percentage of persons diagnosed as having a specified disease who die as a result of that illness within a given period. This term is most frequently applied to a specific outbreak of acute disease in which all patients have been followed for an adequate period of time to include all attributable deaths. The case-fatality rate must be clearly differentiated from the mortality rate (q.v.). ( Synonyms: fatality rate, fatality percent-age, case-fatality ratio)3. Chemoprophylaxis —The administration of a chemical, including antibiotics, to prevent the development of an infection or the progression of an infection to active manifest disease, or to eliminate the carriage of a specific infectious agent to prevent transmission and disease in others. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, refers to use of a chemical to treat a clinically manifest disease or to limit its further progress.4."

While it might seem easy to simply count them, this task is hampered by the same diagnostic challenges already described. The incidence of a disease refers to the number of new cases occurring in a given period of time (usually a year) in a given population (100,000 is often the population size that is used). With the challenges inherent in promptly and correctly identifying people with MS, arriving at an accurate incidence figure has been virtually impossible. Most epidemiologists have chosen instead to focus on the prevalence of MS, which refers to the number of people with MS at a particular point in time, in a particular place. While prevalence is a bit easier to determine, since all persons with MS are included in the figure, regardless of how long they have had the disease, the diagnostic issues can distort these figures as well. Of the prevalence studies in MS that have been conducted in various parts of the world, the data from the northern hemisphere are the most reliable thus far.\"\" \"\" In the United States, there are estimated to be 400,000 people with MS.

The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics. This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Ehlers-Danlos syndrome statistics below refer to. As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication) as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in that region. About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: The word 'prevalence' of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at any given time (i.e. people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). The term 'incidence' of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Ehlers-Danlos syndrome).

"text": "\"Anatomy of Neuromuscular Junctions (NMJs) How muscles work continued ... As explained on the page about the sliding-filament theory of muscle action, muscles contract and relax as a result of two different types of filaments (called thick filaments, and thin filaments) moving backwards and forwards across each other. The next question is: What causes such movements ? Muscles (and other tissues) are controlled by the nervous system - which consists of nerve cells called neurones. Of the three types of neurones (motor neurones, sensory neurones and relay neurones), motor neurones instruct skeletal muscle cells to perform the series of actions that lead to sliding filaments and hence muscle contraction. A single motor neurone together with all of the muscle fibers (muscle cells) to which it is attached, and therefore stimulates, is called a motor unit. Stimulation of the one neurone of a motor unit results in simultaneous contraction of all of the muscle cells in that motor unit. The number of muscle cells in a motor unit, i.e. the ratio of motor neurones (nerve cells) to muscle cells, varies according to the type and function of the muscle of which it is a part. For example, delicate muscles of facial expression are not developed for high load-bearing actions but rather to convey a huge variety of subtle movements of skin. These muscles therefore consist of motor units containing only a few (sometimes less than 10) muscle cells each. However, larger more powerful muscles such as the biceps brachii and the gastrocnemius contain motor units of up to 2000 muscle cells each."

Axon An axon of a multipolar neuron Identifiers Me SH D001369Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands. In certain sensory neurons ( pseudounipolar neurons ), such as those for touch and warmth, the axons are called afferent nerve fibers and the electrical impulse travels along these from the periphery to the cell body, and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon. Axon dysfunction has caused many inherited and acquired neurological disorders which can affect both the peripheral and central neurons. Nerve fibers are classed into three types – group A nerve fibers, group B nerve fibers, and group C nerve fibers. Groups A and B are myelinated, and group C are unmyelinated. These groups include both sensory fibers and motor fibers. Another classification, groups only the sensory fibers, and these are grouped as Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV. An axon is one of two types of cytoplasmic protrusions from the cell body of a neuron; the other type is a dendrite."

"text": "\"Previous (Axolotl) Next (Axum)Axon Dendrite Soma Axon Nucleus Node of Ranvier Axon Terminal Schwann cell Myelin sheath Structure of a typical neuron An axon is a slender, armlike (or cable-like) projection that extends from the body of a neuron (nerve cell) and conducts nerve impulses along its length. Typically, but not always, axons conduct nerve impulses away from the cell body, causing at their terminal end the release of neurotransmitters into extracellular space, where they can excite or inhibit other neurons. In some sensory neurons, the nerve impulses travel along an axon from the periphery to the cell body. In many cases, a neuron's axon can be very long, and as such is known as a nerve fiber. Giraffes have single axons several meters in length running along the entire length of the neck and a human motor neuron can be over a meter long, reaching from the lumbar region of the spine to the toes. However, some neurons have axons that are very short and even absent. While a neuron does not have more than one axon, some axons may have branches and such branches can be considerable near the end of an axon's length, including with 10,000 or more terminal branches. An axon is one of two types of processes that extend from a neuron cell body, the other being dendrites. Dendrites are branched (not arm-like) projections that typically receive signals from other neurons and transmit the signals toward the cell body, normally using short-distance graded potentials rather than the action potentials (nerve impulses) of axons. Axons have most of the same organelles as the dendrites and the cell body, but lack Golgi apparatus and Nissl bodies."

The major differences between the two systems are evident in the responses that each produces. The somatic nervous system causes contraction of skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system controls cardiac and smooth muscle, as well as glandular tissue. The somatic nervous system is associated with voluntary responses (though many can happen without conscious awareness, like breathing), and the autonomic nervous system is associated with involuntary responses, such as those related to homeostasis. The autonomic nervous system regulates many of the internal organs through a balance of two aspects, or divisions. In addition to the endocrine system, the autonomic nervous system is instrumental in homeostatic mechanisms in the body. The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic system is associated with the fight-or-flight response, and parasympathetic activity is referred to by the epithet of rest and digest. Homeostasis is the balance between the two systems."

"text": "\"THE SYNAPSEImpulse conduction in a single axon is fascinating to behold but, taken by itself, functionally limited. The full potential of the impulse is appreciated only by the functional changes it produces in a postsynaptic cell. Here we will examine the events which occur at these functional contacts known as synapses. A PRELIMINARY OVERVIEWNeurons make functional contact with other neurons as well as with the cells of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands. The contacts neurons make with these cells are called synapses, a term meaning \"\"connection\"\" coined by the English physiologist Sherrington. The \"\"connection\"\" is actually an extracellular fluid-filled synaptic cleft separating the nerve cell membrane from the postsynaptic cell membrane (Fig-1). This narrow cleft is typically 20 nm wide, a span sufficiently great to bring to an abrupt halt the transmission of impulses. Fig-1The signal must bridge this cleft in order to influence the postsynaptic cell. This is effectively produced at chemical synapses by the release of chemical neurotransmitters from the presynaptic terminal, which diffuse within microseconds across the cleft to specific receptor sites on the postsynaptic cell membrane. The neurotransmitter-receptor site interaction then causes specific ion channels to open on the postsynaptic membrane, triggering ionic fluxes which either depolarize or hyperpolarize the membrane."

Sanes ‡From the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, Missouri 63110Many cells, including skeletal muscle fibers, are coated by a layer of extracellular matrix material called the basement membrane (BM). 1 The BM, in turn, is composed of two layers: an internal, felt-like basal lamina (BL) directly linked to the plasma membrane, and an external, fibrillar reticular lamina. BMs contain protein and carbohydrate but no lipid or nucleic acid. Virtually all the protein is glycosylated, and nearly all the carbohydrate is covalently bound to protein. The fibrils of the reticular lamina are collagenous, and they are embedded in an amorphous proteoglycan-rich ground substance. The BL contains non-fibrillar collagen, non-collagenous glycoproteins, and proteoglycans ( 1 ). Initially, the BM was viewed as a static structure that provides mechanical support; essentially something for the cells to sit on. A key advance was the discovery that, because the acellular BM survives injury to associated cells, it can provide a scaffold to orient and constrain cells during regeneration ( 2 ). A more radical transformation over the past few decades was the realization that BM components play active roles and that these roles extend to developmental as well as regenerative processes ( 1 ). In skeletal muscle, these processes include myogenesis and synaptogenesis."

skeletal muscle fibers predominate, but blood vessels, nerve fibers, and substantial amounts of connective tissue are also present Connective Tissue Sheaths hold together and wrap around individual muscle fibers; support each cell and reinforce the muscle as a whole Epimysium (outside muscle) an overcoat of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the whole muscle Perimysium fibrous connective tissue; surrounds each fasicle (grouped muscle fibers that resemble bundles of sticks)Endomysium (within muscle) a whispy sheath of connective tissue that surrounds each individual muscle fiber Insertion movable bone, moves towards the immovable or less movable bone Origin less movable bone; typically lies proximal to the insertion Direct/ Fleshy Attachments the epimysium of the muscle is fused to the periosteum of a bone or perichondrium of a cartilage Indirect Attachments the muscles connective tissue wrapping extend beyond the muscle either as a ropelike tendon or a a sheet like aponeurosis;

organelles come into closest contact here; encircle each sarcomere Triad Relationships T tubules conduct impulses deep into muscle fiber ; Integral proteins protrude into the intermembrane space from T tubule and SR cisternae membranes; T tubule proteins: voltage sensors; SR foot proteins: gated channels that regulate Ca2+ release from the SR cisternae Contraction refers to activiation of myosin's cross bridges, which are force generating sites; Shortening occurs when tension generated by cross bridges on the thin filaments exceeds forces opposing shortening Sliding Filament Model of Contraction states that during contraction the thin actin and myosin filaments slide past the thick ones so that actin and myosin filaments overlap to a greater degree; During contraction, myosin heads bind to actin, detach, and bind again, to propel the thin filaments toward the M line; As H zones shorten and disappear, sarcomeres shorten, muscle cells shorten, and the whole muscle shortens Requirements for Skeletal Muscle Contraction 1.

These junctions, thought to be substrates for chemical transmission, occur between two dendrites ( dendrodendritic synapses ), a dendrite and an axon ( dendroaxonic synapses ), a dendrite and a soma ( dendrosomatic synapses ), and any part of a neuron and a node of Ranvier ( nodal synapses ). In some cases, synapses have been described in which a single element is both pre- and postsynaptic to a second element. This arrangement, a reciprocal synaptic arrangement, is illustrated in Figure 13-2. Note the accumulation of synaptic vesicles on what is presumed to be the presynaptic side of each synapse. The function of this arrangement is unknown. The physiology of these new synaptic arrangements has not been studied in detail yet, but it can be presumed for now that they behave like other chemical synapses. Their presence certainly broadens the possibilities for interactions between neurons in the central nervous system. Fig. 13-2."

"text": "Chapter 22 Cardiovascular System: Vessels and Circulation Histological Organization of Blood Vessels Walls of arteries and veins have three distinct layers:1. Tunica interna a.k.a. tunica intima The tunica interna is the innermost lining of the blood vessel. It is lined by endothelium, which is almost always simple squamous epithelium, and its underlying connective tissue. In arteries a layer of elastic tissue called the internal elastic membrane marks the outer boundary of the tunica interna.2. Tunica media The tunica media is the middle layer. It consists of concentric sheets of smooth muscle cells supported by varying amounts of connective tissue. The contraction of the smooth muscles cells is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, hormones and local chemicals. Contraction of the smooth muscles of the media is called vasoconstriction and results in a decrease in the size of the lumen and a decrease in blood flow. Relaxation of the smooth muscles is vasodilation which has the opposite effects."

"text": "A. Structure of Blood Vessel Wall s Diagram Diagram Diagram Arteries and Veins are composed of three distinct layers called tunics which surround the blood-containing space (lumen)Tunica intima (interna) - contains epithelium (simple squamal)Tunica media - circularly arranged smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers (in arteries); tunica media has myogenic activity (vasoconstriction and vasodilation)Tunica adventitia (externa) - loosely woven collagen fibers and in large blood vessels contain tiny blood vessel, vasa vasorum, that supplies blood to nourish tunica adventitia B. Arterial System - arteries are vessels that transport blood away from the heart and consists of three groups: Elastic (conducting) arteries - large, thick-walled arteries near to the heart (ex: aorta). Their large diameter lumens allows elastic arteries to serve as low-resistance conduits for conducting blood from heart to medium-sized arteries. Elastic arteries expand and recoil passively to accommodate changes in blood volume, keeping blood under continuous pressure. Blood flows continuously rather than directed by pulsatile rhythm of the heartbeat. Muscular (distributing) arteries - arteries composed proportionately more smooth muscle and less elastic tissue and delivers blood to specific body organs. Arterioles - smallest of arterial vessels; smallest arterioles have single layer of smooth muscle cells spiralling around endothelial lining Arterial Pulse - alternating expansion & recoil of elastic arteries during each cardiac cycle creates a pressure wave = pulse Pulse point (also referred to as compression/pressure points) arteries: Temporal, femoral, facial, popliteal, common carotid, posterior tibial, brachial, dorsalis pedis, and radial C. Venous System - blood is carried from the capillary beds toward the heart by veins Venules - are formed when capillaries unit Veins - have thin tunics and larger lumens than arteries, therefore can accommodate larger blood volumes. Due to the fact that 65% of the blood supply is always in veins, veins are referred to as capacitance vessels or blood reservoirs. Blood Pressure is low in veins - adaptations to help return blood the heart at the same rate it was pumped into circulation: Large diameter lumen Presence of valves (in limbs) that prevent blood from flowing backward (therefore unidirectional flow)Valves found in veins of limbs not ventral cavity because upward flow of blood is opposed by gravity. D. Capillaries - smallest blood vessels with thin walls consisting of only a tunica intima;Capillary Types : Continuous capillaries - abundant in skin and muscle and are continuous because their endothelial cells provide an uninterrupted lining. Adjacent cells are joined laterally by tight junctions but usually incomplete and leave gaps of unjoined membranes called intercellular clefts."

An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, where it branches into ever-smaller vessels. Eventually, the smallest arteries, vessels called arterioles, further branch into tiny capillaries, where nutrients and wastes are exchanged, and then combine with other vessels that exit capillaries to form venules, small blood vessels that carry blood to a vein, a larger blood vessel that returns blood to the heart. Arteries and veins transport blood in two distinct circuits: the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit ( Figure 1 ). Systemic arteries provide blood rich in oxygen to the body’s tissues. The blood returned to the heart through systemic veins has less oxygen, since much of the oxygen carried by the arteries has been delivered to the cells. In contrast, in the pulmonary circuit, arteries carry blood low in oxygen exclusively to the lungs for gas exchange. Pulmonary veins then return freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped back out into systemic circulation. Although arteries and veins differ structurally and functionally, they share certain features."

The tuft is structurally supported by intraglomerular mesangial cells. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances to a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule, of the nephron. The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation. Unlike most capillary beds, the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles rather than venules. The resistance of the efferent arterioles causes sufficient hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus to provide the force for ultrafiltration. The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. [ 1] The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, where it branches into ever-smaller vessels. Eventually, the smallest arteries, vessels called arterioles, further branch into tiny capillaries, where nutrients and wastes are exchanged, and then combine with other vessels that exit capillaries to form venules, small blood vessels that carry blood to a vein, a larger blood vessel that returns blood to the heart. Arteries and veins transport blood in two distinct circuits: the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit. Systemic arteries provide blood rich in oxygen to the body’s tissues. The blood returned to the heart through systemic veins has less oxygen, since much of the oxygen carried by the arteries has been delivered to the cells. In contrast, in the pulmonary circuit, arteries carry blood low in oxygen exclusively to the lungs for gas exchange. Pulmonary veins then return freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped back out into systemic circulation. Although arteries and veins differ structurally and functionally, they share certain features. Figure 1."

Its functions are closely linked to the functions of the body’s primary circulatory system, the blood circulation. Organs and cells of the lymphatic system play an integral role in supporting the immune system, which is a functional system consisting of cells (e.g. blood cells which fight infection) and molecules (e.g. antibodies which protect against particular diseases). Unlike other body systems the immune system has no organs. The lymphatic and blood circulation system are closely linked but they function quite differently. The blood system is a closed circulation system (blood is pumped through it but cannot pass out of it) which is bi-direction (blood flows two ways, away from and towards the heart ). It is regulated by a central organ, the heart, which beats and causes blood to be pumped through the blood circulatory system. The lymphatic system is a one-way circulatory system (lymph always travels in one direction, towards the heart). It lacks a central pumping mechanism like the heart; instead, contractions of the lymph vessels push lymph through the system. The name is derived from the Latin lymphatics, meaning absorbent, since the lymphatic system functions to absorb, and return to blood circulation, fluids which have leaked from the blood vessels to interstitial spaces (spaces between cells)."

Water and electrolytes are lost through sweat glands in the skin, which helps moisturize and cool the skin surface, while the lungs expel a small amount of water in the form of mucous secretions and via evaporation of water vapor. Kidneys: The Main Osmoregulatory Organ The kidneys, illustrated in Figure 22.4, are a pair of bean-shaped structures that are located just below and posterior to the liver in the peritoneal cavity. The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and are also called the suprarenal glands. Kidneys filter blood and purify it. All the blood in the human body is filtered many times a day by the kidneys; these organs use up almost 25 percent of the oxygen absorbed through the lungs to perform this function. Oxygen allows the kidney cells to efficiently manufacture chemical energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. The filtrate coming out of the kidneys is called urine. Figure 22.4."

Other arteries are called functional end arteries, meaning that their anastomoses are so tiny that the arteries may almost be considered end arteries. Anastomoses are more common in veins than in arteries. Often, an artery travels with a corresponding vein. These vessels are called companion vessels because they supply the same body region and tend to lie next to one another. Blood Vessel Tunics Both artery and vein walls have three layers, called tunics. They surround the lumen, or inside space, of the vessel through which blood flows.

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

Alcohol is a “depressant” drug involved in modulating thinking and behavior by affecting brain. Alcohol had been in use since ancient times and its use can be traced back to 8000 BC. Alcohol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. It is chemically known by other names such as ethanol; ethyl alcohol; methylcarbinol; grain alcohol; ethyl hydroxide. Ethanol (alcohol) is a naturally occurring byproduct of the yeast metabolism and can also be commonly found in overripe fruit. Pure alcohol (Ethanol) was first discovered by Iranian/Persian alchemist named Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi during wine distillation. Alcohol is normally produced by the fermentation process, and also by distillation of various fruits, vegetables or grains. Fermented beverages such as beer and wine possess maximum alcohol content (about 15 per cent)."

Reply7 years ago #3Winemaker123Guest Here's a bootlegger method. The Shake Test. It won't tell you the exact percentage, but with experience you will be able to compare batches. The viscosity of moonshine is related to the alcohol content, and alcohol also has a lower specific gravity than say pure water, or sugar water (like grape juice). Shake a half-full jar of moonshine vigorously to make it foam up. If the foam bubbles last a long time, there's less alcohol (the higher specific gravity and viscosity means the air bubbles take longer to settle out, the mixture might be \"\"syrupy\"\". If the bubbles last a short time, it has higher alcohol content. If the bubbles come out very rapidly, you have high alcohol content."

Alcohol intoxication The Drunkenness of Noah by Michelangelo Specialty Toxicology, psychiatry Alcohol intoxication, also known as drunkenness among other names, is a physiological condition that may result in psychologicalalterations of consciousness. Symptoms of alcohol intoxication include euphoria, flushed skin, and decreased social inhibition at lower doses, [1] with larger doses producing progressively severe impairments of balance, and decision-making ability as well as nausea or vomiting from alcohol's disruptive effect on the semicircular canals of the inner ear and chemical irritation of the gastric mucosa. [ citation needed] Extreme levels of blood-borne alcohol may result in coma or death. Alcohol intoxication is the result of drinking alcohol such that it enters the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the body. Metabolism results in breaking down the ethanol into non-intoxicating byproducts. Some effects of alcohol intoxication, such as euphoria and lowered social inhibition, are central to alcohol's desirability as a beverage. [ citation needed] Throughout history it has been one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs. Despite this widespread use and alcohol's legality in most countries, many medical sources tend to describe any level of alcohol intoxication as a form of poisoning due to ethanol's damaging effects on the body in large doses."

"text": "The Calories in a Glass of Wine vs. a Shot of Whiskey Tweet Pocket The amount of calories in a glass of wine or alcoholic beverage depends on its serving size, and the drink’s alcohol and carbohydrate content. First, let’s establish serving size by using the standard drink concept. What’s a Standard Drink? A standard drink in the United States is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). Below are U. S. standard drink equivalents that in theory contain the same amount of alcohol (14 grams), and therefore create the same level of intoxication. In the rest of this article you will find that alcohol levels often vary significantly from the guideline below and that there are some drinks that are much lower in calories than you would expect and some that are total calorie bombs. What is not discussed is whether the calories (primarily from alcohol and sugar) are good or bad. Or, is a calorie really just a calorie?. U. S.

[ 5] Beer is brewed from cereal grains —most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used. During the brewing process, fermentation of the starchsugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the resulting beer. [ 6] Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilizing agent. Other flavouring agents such as gruit, herbs, or fruits may be included or used instead of hops. In commercial brewing, the natural carbonation effect is often removed during processing and replaced with forced carbonation. [ 7]Some of humanity's earliest known writings refer to the production and distribution of beer: the Code of Hammurabi included laws regulating beer and beer parlours, [8] and \"\"The Hymn to Ninkasi \"\", a prayer to the Mesopotamian goddess of beer, served as both a prayer and as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people.

The distillation process purifies the liquid and removes diluting components like water, for the purpose of increasing its proportion of alcohol content (commonly expressed as alcohol by volume, ABV ). [ 1] As distilled beverages contain significantly more alcohol, they are considered \"\"harder\"\" – in North America, the term hard liquor is used to distinguish distilled beverages from undistilled ones. As examples, this term does not include beverages such as beer, wine, mead, sake, or cider, as they are fermented but not distilled. These all have a relatively low alcohol content, typically less than 15%. Brandy is a spirit produced by the distillation of wine, and has an ABV of over 35%.

As a result, the acid and contents from your stomach back up, repeatedly irritating the more delicate tissue of the esophagus. This results in a burning sensation in the chest (often called heartburn) and irritation of the esophagus. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, more than 60 million Americans have heartburn and acid reflux symptoms at least once a month. But when acid reflux symptoms occur more than twice a week, it can lead to GERD. When GERD is left untreated, it can cause ongoing conditions. These include abdominal pain, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, damage to the esophagus, and an increased risk of esophageal cancer. Doctors have identified several risk factors for developing GERD. These include:diethiatal herniacertain medicationsobesitypregnancysmoking For some people, alcohol is also one of the contributing factors. While alcohol doesn’t cause acid reflux that leads to GERD in everyone, it’s possible that drinking could make GERD symptoms worse for some people."

The spirit was tested with gunpowder: a mixture of water and alcohol proved itself when it could be poured on a small amount of gunpowder and still light up the wet powder. If the powder did not ignite, the mixture had too much water in it and the grog was considered below proof.

This means if 1800 calories are eaten each day, the recommended amount of carbohydrate is 202-292 grams based on 45-65% calories from carbohydrate. Carbohydrate (glucose) is your body's favorite energy source. Many organs in the body can use protein or fat for energy if carbohydrate is not available. The brain, however, requires some carbohydrate (glucose) to function. The brain uses an average minimum of 130 grams carbohydrate daily. This minimal amount is where the RDA is derived.

The AND says everyone should eat a minimum 130 grams of carbohydrate a day. The American Diabetes Association cites the Io M carbohydrate RDA of 130 g a day and has no position on the maximum amount of carbs diabetics should eat. Isn’t diabetes a disease of carbohydrate metabolism? Isn’t this like telling lung cancer patients to smoke a minimum number of cigarettes a day, and no maximum? One would think that AND and ADA must have a good reason for citing this RDA. Dr. Richard Bernstein, the pillar of the low carb diabetes treatment movement, says diabetics should eat no more than 30 grams a day of carbohydrate, and that we’d do better if we went even lower. I thought there must be something he was missing for the American Diabetes Association to cite 130 g/day as a MINIMUM for diabetics, and no maximum! So I went looking for the justification for the carbohydrate recommendations coming from AND and ADA. It turns out that AND and the ADA both rely on the carbohydrate RDA “set” by the august Institute of Medicine (Io M) of the National Academies, a U.

Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. The prefix makro is from the Greek and means big or large, used because macronutrients are required in large amounts. There are three broad classes of macro-nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Purpose The main function of macronutrients is to provide energy, counted as calories. While each of the macronutrients provides calories, the amount provided by each varies. Carbohydrate provides four calories per gram, protein also four while fat provides nine. For example, if the Nutrition Facts label of a given food indicates 12 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of fat, and 0 g of protein per serving, the food then has 12g carbohydrate x 4 calories = 48 calories þ 2 g fat x 4 calories = 8 calories for a total of 48 þ 8 calories = 56 calories per serving). Macronutrients also have specific roles in maintaining the body and contribute to the taste, texture and appearance of foods, which helps to make the diet more varied and enjoyable. Proteins Proteins, from the Greek proteios meaning “first”, are important biological molecules (biomolecules) that consist of strings of smaller units called amino acids, the “building blocks” of proteins."

Consumers now have numerous questions about carbohydrates and sugars. This document will attempt to answer those questions. CARBOHYDRATES AND SUGARS 101What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are one of the three main classes of food and a source of energy. Sugars, starches, and fiber are all types of carbohydrates. Technically, carbohydrates are any compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with twice as many hydrogens as oxygens. Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body and the only direct energy source for the brain. Carbohydrates can be found in varying amounts in fruits, vegetables, grain foods, and many dairy products. Carbohydrates are also found in ingredients in many other foods prepared at home, eaten at a restaurant, or purchased at grocery stores."

"text": "\"4.3 The Functions of Carbohydrates in the Body Learning Objective List four primary functions of carbohydrates in the human body. There are five primary functions of carbohydrates in the human body. They are energy production, energy storage, building macromolecules, sparing protein, and assisting in lipid metabolism. Energy Production The primary role of carbohydrates is to supply energy to all cells in the body. Many cells prefer glucose as a source of energy versus other compounds like fatty acids. Some cells, such as red blood cells, are only able to produce cellular energy from glucose. The brain is also highly sensitive to low blood-glucose levels because it uses only glucose to produce energy and function (unless under extreme starvation conditions). About 70 percent of the glucose entering the body from digestion is redistributed (by the liver) back into the blood for use by other tissues. Cells that require energy remove the glucose from the blood with a transport protein in their membranes. The energy from glucose comes from the chemical bonds between the carbon atoms."

Saturated fats and trans fats, or “bad” fats, increase your risk of heart disease, high cholesterol and other diseases. Consuming “good” monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats reduces your risk of the same conditions. Good fats play vital roles in different functions within your body. Nuts, fish and vegetable oils all provide good fats that benefit your health rather than harm it. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Aids in Absorption of Fat-Soluble Vitamins Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamin A, D, E and K. The vitamins dissolve in fat, and proper absorption requires the presence of fat. Vitamin A contributes to bone and teeth growth, cell division, and helps moisturize your skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Vitamin D helps your body absorb and utilize calcium and maintain your bones' integrity. Vitamin E's antioxidant qualities protect your vitamin A and C stores and your red blood cells. Vitamin K helps maintain your bone health and helps blood clotting throughout your body."

Read on to learn just how important water is to all of us. Many people underestimate the importance of water to the body. Many people think it is just a \"\"mom's tale,\"\" like you need to drink your milk. What is even more alarming is that even among the most experienced athletes—and this includes weightlifters, strongmen, and bodybuilders—there is a huge gap in knowledge regarding the understanding as to why proper hydration is important for health, and for competitive success. Water Is The Single Most Critical Nutrient The human brain is composed of 95% water; blood is 82% water; the lungs are nearly 90% water. Water is also the single most critical nutrient for health, growth, and development. It is not only the most important nutrient in the body, but also the most abundant. Water is critical to the balance of all the body's systems, including the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and muscles. How important is this balance?"

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

The weight is lost slowly by making sustainable changes that change calorie balance without neglecting important foods and nutrients. Most importantly, the weight is not regained after the \"\"diet\"\" is over. What nutrients are used for energy during a short fast, such as eating breakfast but skipping lunch and not eating again until a late dinner? How is energy supplied if the fast goes on longer—24 hours or more? In a short fast (e.g. between widely-spaced meals) the body draws on glucose, glycogen stores and uses fatty acids. Fatty acids require glucose for their metabolism, so the body can continue using fat for energy only until glycogen stores are gone. Once glycogen stores are depleted, fat cannot be completely metabolized. Some body proteins will be dismantled to produce some glucose (to help metabolize the fat). In addition, ketone bodies will be formed from incompletely-metabolized fat and from other amino acids from the dismantled protein."

"text": "Diet to reduce high potassium levels: How can I lower my potassium levels they are slightly high can u please guide me on what foods to purchase that will help me achieve this goal? Potassium is the major cation of the intracellular fluid and is also present in small amounts in extra cellular fluid. Potassium is involved in maintaining the normal water balance, osmotic equilibrium and acid base balance. It is also involved in maintaining the neuromuscular activity and promoting cellular growth. Adequate intracellular potassium is necessary for biosynthesis of proteins by ribosome whereas extra cellular potassium influences cardiac muscle activity. The minimum requirement of potassium for adults is 1.6 to 2.0 Gms (40 to 50 m Eq) per day. For infants the requirement ranges from 500 to 1000 mg per day and for children the requirements can increase up to 2000 mgs per day. Potassium is readily absorbed from the small intestine. Potassium is mainly excreted through urine and very little is lost through the feces. The rich sources of potassium are banana, orange, pineapple, potato, beans, chicken and liver."

Their discussion of carbohydrates and the functions they perform seem to \"\"prove\"\" that most dogs need additional carbohydrates in their diet, a belief that is very pervasive in most concepts of canine nutrition. \"\" In addition to providing energy, carbs maintain the health of the thyroid, liver, heart, brain and nerve tissue. They regulate how much starch and fat will be broken down and utilized. Once in the digestive tract and assimilated, they are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, which controls energy balance. Low carb intake may cause cardiac symptoms and angina. The central nervous system requires carbohydrates for proper functioning as does the brain. The brain can't store glucose and is therefore dependent on the minimum supply of glucose from the blood. With insufficent carbs in the diet, protein and fat are converted to energy, weakening the immune system and preventing the body from building enough antibodies to fight disease."

The Nara Daibutsu (15 meters) was recast, while the famous Kyoto Daibutsu (24 meters) was entirely destroyed in a fire. All that remains of this once spectacular landmark is a small wooden model. There are many other Daibutsu statues in Japan. The oldest surviving Daibutsu sculpture in Japan, cast in 609 AD, is the Asuka Daibutsu (2.75 meters). Among stone-carved Daibutsu in Japan, the largest is the Daibutsu of Nihon-ji (31 meters), chiseled into a stone cliff during the 1780s. During the early years of Japanese Buddhism, especially during the Heian Era (794-1185 AD), many Buddhist deities were carved in stone on large rock outcrops, cliffs, or in caves. Known as Magaibutsu or Sekibutsu, these impressive carvings are found nationwide, but over half are located in Kyushu, the earliest inhabited area of Japan. The largest Big Buddha statue in Japan -- and reportedly worldwide -- is the recently constructed 100-meter Ushiku Daibutsu in Ibaraki Prefecture, just 50 km from Tokyo. Finally, dozens of Big Buddha statues have been erected in recent times (post WWII onward)."

The city of Chaiya contains ruins from the Srivijaya period, and it was probably a regional capital of the kingdom. Some Thai historians even argue that it was the kingdom's capital for a time, but this is disputed. Wiang Sa was another important settlement of the time. After the fall of the Srivijaya, the area was divided into the cities ( mueang) of Chaiya, Thatong (now Kanchanadit ), and Khirirat Nikhom. Chaiya was administered directly from the Thai capital, while Thatong and Khirirat were controlled by the Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom. In 1899, they were all merged into a single province called Chaiya."

"text": "\"The Origin of Pagodas Ancient Chinese architecture boasts a rich variety of styles and high levels of construction. There were residences, official buildings, palaces, temples, altars, gardens, bridges, city walls and so on. Construction took the form of lou (multistoryed buildings), tai (terraces), ting (pavilions), ge (two-storey pavilions), xuan (verandas with windows), xie (pavilions or houses on terraces), wu (rooms along roofed corridors), etc. All these architectural forms were recorded in early documents of Chinese history. Pagodas, however, appeared relatively late in China. A Chinese term for pagoda did not exist until the first century. The reason is that this new form of architecture was introduced to China only when Buddhism spread to the country. The origin of pagodas, like that of Buddhism, can be traced to India. The relation between Buddhism and pagodas is explained in Buddhist literature, which says that pagodas were originally built for the purpose of preserving the remains of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. According to Buddhist scripture, when Sakyamuni's body was cremated after his death, his disciples discovered that his remains crystallized into unbreakable shiny beads."

One of its most frequently mentioned cities in the world today is ‘Kandahar’, made infamous by the Taliban. The earlier name of the city was ‘Quandhar’, derived from the name of the region of Gandhara. Erstwhile home to Al-Qaeda today, it was always a strategic site, being on main Persian routes to Central Asia and India. Hence, it has a long history of conquests. Kandahar was taken by Alexander in 329 B. C. E., was surrendered by the Greek to Chandragupta in 305 B. C. E., and is dignified by a rock inscription of Asoka. It fell under Arab rule in the 7th century C. E., and under the Ghaznavids in the 10th. Kandahar was destroyed by Genghis Khan and again by the Turkic conqueror Timur, after which it was held by the Mughals. Mughal Emperor Babur built 40 giant steps up a hill, cut out of the solid limestone, leading to inscriptions recording details of his proud conquests."

Each of these measures is calculated differently, and the one that is best to use depends upon the situation. Mean The mean is the most commonly-used measure of central tendency. When we talk about an \"\"average\"\", we usually are referring to the mean. The mean is simply the sum of the values divided by the total number of items in the set. The result is referred to as the arithmetic mean. Sometimes it is useful to give more weighting to certain data points, in which case the result is called the weighted arithmetic mean. The notation used to express the mean depends on whether we are talking about the population mean or the sample mean: = population mean = sample mean The population mean then is defined as:=where= number of data points in the population= value of each data point i . The mean is valid only for interval data or ratio data. Since it uses the values of all of the data points in the population or sample, the mean is influenced by outliers that may be at the extremes of the data set."

Depending on what you need from a data structure, whether it's fast lookup, immutability, indexing, etc, you can choose the best data structure for the job and most of the time, you will be combining data structures together to obtain a logical and easy to understand data model. Introduction Python data structures are very intuitive from a syntax point of view and they offer a large choice of operations. This tutorial tries to put together the most common and useful information about each data structure and offer a guide on when it is best to use one structure or another. You can choose different kinds of data structures depending on what the data involves, if it needs to be modified, or if it's fixed data, and even what access type you would like, such as at the beginning/end/random etc. Lists A List represents the most versatile type of data structure in Python. It can contain items of different types and it has no rule against unicity. List indices start from zero, the elements can be sliced, concatenated, and so on. Lists also have a lot of similarities with strings, supporting the same kind of operations but unlike strings, lists are mutable. How to Construct a List A list can be built using the keyword list or using square brackets: [], both of which accept comma separated values."

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

Hardware bottlenecks limit the effectiveness of software tuning. Performance Tuning for Server Hardware provides recommendations for hardware to avoid the following performance constraints: Slow CPUs offer limited processing power for CPU intensive workloads such as ASP, ASP. NET, and SSL scenarios. A small L2 or L3/LLC processor cache might adversely affect performance. A limited amount of memory affects the number of sites that can be hosted, how many dynamic content scripts (such as ASP. NET) can be stored, and the number of application pools or worker processes.

For the use of the term pushdown in strength training, see Pushdown (exercise). For other uses, see Stack (disambiguation). Simple representation of a stack runtime with push and pop operations. In computer science, a stack is an abstract data type that serves as a collection of elements, with two principal operations:push, which adds an element to the collection, andpop, which removes the most recently added element that was not yet removed. The order in which elements come off a stack gives rise to its alternative name, LIFO ( last in, first out ). Additionally, a peek operation may give access to the top without modifying the stack. [ 1] The name \"\"stack\"\" for this type of structure comes from the analogy to a set of physical items stacked on top of each other, which makes it easy to take an item off the top of the stack, while getting to an item deeper in the stack may require taking off multiple other items first. [ 2]Considered as a linear data structure, or more abstractly a sequential collection, the push and pop operations occur only at one end of the structure, referred to as the top of the stack. This makes it possible to implement a stack as a singly linked list and a pointer to the top element."

Cross-validation, sometimes called rotation estimation, [1] [2] [3] is a model validation technique for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent data set. It is mainly used in settings where the goal is prediction, and one wants to estimate how accurately a predictive model will perform in practice. In a prediction problem, a model is usually given a dataset of known data on which training is run ( training dataset ), and a dataset of unknown data (or first seen data) against which the model is tested (called the validation dataset or testing set ). [ 4] The goal of cross validation is to define a dataset to \"\"test\"\" the model in the training phase (i.e., the validation set ), in order to limit problems like overfitting [ citation needed], give an insight on how the model will generalize to an independent dataset (i.e., an unknown dataset, for instance from a real problem), etc. One round of cross-validation involves partitioning a sample of data into complementary subsets, performing the analysis on one subset (called the training set ), and validating the analysis on the other subset (called the validation set or testing set ). To reduce variability, in most methods multiple rounds of cross-validation are performed using different partitions, and the validation results are combined (e.g. averaged) over the rounds to estimate a final predictive model."

It is also an important factor in the performance of Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) as well as many other applications. The file cache is a specific, reserved area of virtual storage in the range of system memory addresses, as discussed in Chapter 6. As the name implies, it operates on files, or, more specifically, sections of files. When file sections are referenced, they are mapped into this area of virtual memory by the Cache Manager. This mapping occurs transparently to the application that is trying to read or write the file in question. ( The everyday meaning of the word cache refers to it being a hidden storehouse. Caching functions are hidden from the applications.) The memory used for the file cache is managed just like any other area of real memory allocated within the system working set, subject to the same Windows 2000 virtual memory management page replacement policy discussed in the previous chapter."

You'll need to find out exactly how much rain fell during each of the months. Once you have this data, you can begin to draw the graph. Another use of rectangular bars on a graph is called a \"\"histogram\"\", not \"\"bar graph\"\", to display a continuous range of data in increasing or decreasing value in a list of equally divided range segments to show how these compare. For example, if you were to measure how many people in a classroom fell into a range of heights, and one range was 5 feet (1.5 m) to 5 feet 3 inches (7.6 cm), and so on, then you'd need to use a histogram.to Make Bar Graphs2 Draw an x and a y-axis.

Introduction Arguably the most common item of casual discussion is the weather, and these days a lot of discussion, including on the Internet, centers around what \"\"strange weather\"\" we've been having lately. The putative weirdness of the weather is attributed variously to the Jet Stream, the Greenhouse Effect, El Niño, volcanic eruptions, alien visitors, the imminent end of the Universe, and so on. A lot of this has its origins in such sources as newspapers, Sunday supplements, popular science magazines, tabloid papers, and of course, the television. Within the latter, programs about the weather appear within fairly serious presentations on PBS, in commentary and features by your local weathercasters, in the TV versions of magazines and tabloid newspapers, and on The Weather Channel. I am going to say straight up that the vast majority of what you read and hear in terms of \"\"explanations\"\" via the various media is fabrications, mythology, gibberish, or grotesque oversimplifications. No matter how many reputable folks they trot out in front of the cameras to capture the inevitable \"\"sound bites\"\" that television uses in lieu of content, [1] what the media present is mostly fluff and half-truths. The media are not in business to do science ... they are in business to sell beer, automobiles, cosmetics, toothpaste, fast food, and perhaps themselves. If good substantive science sells, that's fine, but there is a tendency to push toward the controversial and sensational, almost always at the expense of substance."

"text": "2. THE DEVELOPMENT AND DIVERSITY OF REFERENCE POINTS2.1 MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND THE CONCEPT OF A ‘REFERENCE POINT’Reference points begin as conceptual criteria which capture in broad terms the management objective for the fishery. To implement fishery management it must be possible to convert the conceptual Reference Point into a Technical Reference point, which can be calculated or quantified on the basis of biological or economic characteristics of the fishery (Fig. 1). For example, when the objective is to maximise yield, MSY has frequently been used as a conceptual reference point. The concept of MSY has been interpreted in various ways, ranging from its strict technical meaning as the peak of the surplus production curve, or the point of maximum surplus reproduction on a stock recruitment curve, to its more literal interpretation as the maximum constant yield that can be taken year after year, as described by Sissenwine (1978) and Annala (1993). Figure 1: The sequence of development of conceptual and technical reference points incorporating scientific models and societal goals for fisheries management. The objectives of fishery management are generally more diverse than a simple maximisation of yield. They often include considerations of foreign exchange, employment, contribution to disadvantaged rural areas, profit, inter alia. The concept of an overall objective that incorporates all important factors for a fishery was reflected in the 1958 United Nations Oceans Convention in Geneva, where the term “Optimal Sustainable Yield” emerged."

The energy in food is stored in the chemical bonds within the molecules. During glycolysis and the Krebs cycle food molecules are broken down. The energy is transferred to other molecules, the coenzymes NAD+ and FADH when they are reduced to NADH and FADH2. This energy is then transferred to the electron transport chain in the form of electrons. These electrons move from molecule to molecule in the electron transport chain. Each movement is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which the molecules move to a lower energy state. The energy released is used to move protons (hydrogen ions) across the membrane. The movement of protons increases potential energy in the form of an electrochemical gradient. Thus the chemical bond energy has been converted into potential energy."

It is located in the mitochondrial membrane for the process of cellular respiration and the thylakoid membrane for the process of photosynthesis. For both processes, when there is an imbalance of H+ concentration on either side of the membrane, a gradient is created. In the mitochondria, there becomes more H+ concentration in the intermembrane space. In the thylakoid, there becomes more H+ concentration in the thylakoid space. In the mitochondria, this gradient causes H+ to move back to the matrix through ATP synthase. In the thylakoid, this gradient causes H+ to move back to the stroma also through ATP synthase. As the H+ passes through ATP synthase for both processes, ATP is produced."

The inside of the thylakoid membrane is called the lumen, and outside the thylakoid membrane is the stroma, where the light-independent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane contains some integral membrane protein complexes that catalyze the light reactions. There are four major protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane: Photosystem II (PSII), Cytochrome b6f complex, Photosystem I (PSI), and ATP synthase. These four complexes work together to ultimately create the products ATP and NADPH. The four photosystems absorb light energy through pigments —primarily the chlorophylls, which are responsible for the green color of leaves. The light-dependent reactions begin in photosystem II. When a chlorophyll a molecule within the reaction center of PSII absorbs a photon, an electron in this molecule attains a higher energy level. Because this state of an electron is very unstable, the electron is transferred from one to another molecule creating a chain of redox reactions, called an electron transport chain (ETC). The electron flow goes from PSII to cytochrome b6f to PSI."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane In photosynthesis, the light-dependent reactions take place on the thylakoid membranes. The inside of the thylakoid membrane is called the lumen, and outside the thylakoid membrane is the stroma, where the light-independent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane contains some integral membrane protein complexes that catalyze the light reactions. There are four major protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane: Photosystem II (PSII), Cytochrome b6f complex, Photosystem I (PSI), and ATP synthase. These four complexes work together to ultimately create the products ATP and NADPH. The four photosystems absorb light energy through pigments —primarily the chlorophylls, which are responsible for the green color of leaves. The light-dependent reactions begin in photosystem II. When a chlorophyll a molecule within the reaction center of PSII absorbs a photon, an electron in this molecule attains a higher energy level. Because this state of an electron is very unstable, the electron is transferred from one to another molecule creating a chain of redox reactions, called an electron transport chain (ETC). The electron flow goes from PSII to cytochrome b6f to PSI."

[ 1] The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process, as weak so-called \"\"high-energy\"\" bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. Cellular respiration is considered an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although cellular respiration is technically a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell because of the slow release of energy from the series of reactions. Nutrients that are commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include sugar, amino acids and fatty acids, and the most common oxidizing agent ( electron acceptor) is molecular oxygen (O 2 )."

It is only one of millions of enormously intricate nanomachines that needs to have been designed in order for life to exist on earth. This molecule is an excellent example of irreducible complexity because it is necessary in its entirety in order for even the simplest form of life to survive. Introduction In order to function, every machine requires specific parts such as the screws, springs, cams, gears, and pulleys. Likewise, all biological machines must have many well-engineered parts to work. Examples include units called organs such as the liver, kidney, and heart. These complex life units are made from still smaller parts called cells which in turn are constructed from yet smaller machines known as organelles."

"text": "\"Lecture 10ATP synthase Function The ATP synthase enzymes have been remarkably conserved through evolution. The bacterial enzymes are essentially the same in structure and function as those from mitochondria of animals, plants and fungi, and the chloroplasts of plants. The early ancestory of the enzyme is seen in the fact that the Archaea have an enzyme which is clearly closely related, but has significant differences from the Eubacterial branch. The H + -ATP-ase found in vacuoles of the eukaryote cell cytoplasm is similar to the archaeal enzyme, and is thought to reflect the origin from an archaeal ancestor. In most systems, the ATP synthase sits in the membrane (the \"\"coupling\"\" membrane), and catalyses the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate driven by a flux of protons across the membrane down the proton gradient generated by electron transfer. The flux goes from the protochemically positive (P) side (high proton electrochemical potential) to the protochemically negative (N) side. The reaction catalyzed by ATP synthase is fully reversible, so ATP hydrolysis generates a proton gradient by a reversal of this flux. In some bacteria, the main function is to operate in the ATP hydrolysis direction, using ATP generated by fermentative metabolism to provide a proton gradient to drive substrate accumulation, and maintain ionic balance. ADP + Pi + n H +P <=> ATP + n H +NBecause the structures seen in EM, the subunit composition, and the sequences of the subunits appeared to be so similar, it had been assumed that the mechanisms, and hence the stoichiometries, would be the same. In this context, the evidence suggesting that the stoichiometry of H + /ATP (n above) varied depending on system was surprising."

"text": "Fundamentals of Human Nutrition/Electron transport chain< Fundamentals of Human Nutritionnavigation search The electron transport chain is one of the final stages of energy metabolism. It is an aerobic, or oxygen dependent, process of energy metabolism (Whitney & Rolfes, 2015). It is composed of mitochondrial enzymes, or carriers, that move electrons from one complex to the next, resulting in the production of ATP (“Electron Transport Chain Definition,” 2004). The electron transport chain gets the hydrogen ions (protons) and high energy electrons from the coenzymes NADH and FADH2 that are end products of Glycolysis, Lipolysis, The Citric Acid (TCA) Cycle, and the process of converting pyruvate to Acetyl-Co A. NADH and FADH2 act as electron donors which give up an electron, as well as their hydrogen ions (H+), to power the synthesis of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) (Alberts et al., 2002; Whitney & Rolfes, 2015). When the coenzyme approaches the inner membrane from the inside, it is oxidized and donates an electron to the electron carrier (“Electron Transport Chain,” 2007). When the molecule is oxidized, a hydrogen ion that is removed from the molecule can be dissociated into proton and electron, allowing them to be passed separately through the chain. The electron carrier then picks up a H+ which is then passed to the outside compartment of the mitochondria as the electron moves to the next carrier. The passing of electrons through the carriers provides energy that is used to create an electrochemical proton gradient which pumps the H+ across the inner membrane (Alberts et al., 2002)."

"text": "\"Energy III - Cellular Respiration (Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain)Created and last modified by DENISE WOODWARD on Oct 20, 2012No labels Introduction and Goals The previous tutorial concentrated on the first stage of cellular respiration - glycolysis. You should know that glycolysis produces 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of ATP, and 2 molecules of NADH. The pyruvate can be used in fermentation, but it can also be further metabolized in the presence of oxygen. There are many high-energy electrons left in pyruvate and thus it contains energy that can be utilized by the respiring cell. In this tutorial you will learn how cells complete cellular respiration by oxidizing pyruvate to carbon dioxide. You will also learn that these electrons are conveyed to an electron transport chain where they can participate in the synthesis of ATP. By the end of this tutorial you should have a basic understanding of: The Krebs cycle The electron transport chain Chemiosmosis The energy balance of cellular respiration Performance Objectives: Illustrate the importance of redox reactions in cellular respiration Discuss the role of electron carriers List the Krebs Cycle inputs and outputs Diagram the structure of the mitochondrial inner membrane Illustrate the flow of electrons through the ETCDemonstrate how the hydrogen ion gradient across the inner membrane is produced Explain how ATP is produced through oxidative phosphorylation Describe how other molecules can enter the pathways of cellular respiration at different points The Krebs Cycle As you learned in the previous tutorial, glycolysis results in a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules from one molecule of glucose. Keep in mind, this gain represents an effective transfer of 20 kcal of energy to ATP (about 10 kcal each) and about 80 kcal of energy to NADH (about 40 kcal each), for a total of about 100 kcal. The complete oxidation of glucose results in the release of 684 kcal of energy, therefore, there is significant energy still remaining in pyruvate. In eukaryotes, pyruvate is transported across the mitochondrial membrane and then converted to acetyl Co A (with the production of NADH and carbon dioxide)."

The energy in food is stored in the chemical bonds within the molecules. During glycolysis and the Krebs cycle food molecules are broken down. The energy is transferred to other molecules, the coenzymes NAD+ and FADH when they are reduced to NADH and FADH2. This energy is then transferred to the electron transport chain in the form of electrons. These electrons move from molecule to molecule in the electron transport chain. Each movement is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which the molecules move to a lower energy state. The energy released is used to move protons (hydrogen ions) across the membrane. The movement of protons increases potential energy in the form of an electrochemical gradient. Thus the chemical bond energy has been converted into potential energy."

Peter Mitchell proposed that an electrochemical concentration gradient of protons across a membrane could be harnessed to make ATP. He likened this process to osmosis, the diffusion of water across a membrane, which is why it is called chemiosmosis . ATP synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP by chemiosmosis. It allows protons to pass through the membrane using the kinetic energy to phosphorylate ADP making ATP.

So sit back, relax and read. The purpose of the electron transport chain is harvesting the energy of the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2, which were formed in Glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle. Much of the free energy of these reduced coenzymes is transferred to ATP. The maximum number of ATP are formed via the electron transport chain (through oxidative ATP synthesis). ( More on this below). NADH and FADH2 that have been formed so far transfer the hydrogen atom electrons they carry to a series of compounds, mainly proteins, which are associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, called the Electron transport chain. The components of the ETC are arranged left to right, in order of increasing electronegativity; with the weakest attractor of electrons (NADH dehydrogenase) at the beginning of the chain and the strongest (cytochrome oxidase) at the end. Here, I have broken down the entire process into two parts: 1). Electron Transport Chain (actual transport of electrons) 2)."

"text": "\"The Muscular System The muscular system is the body's network of tissues that controls movement both of the body and within it. Walking, running, jumping: all these actions propelling the body through space are possible only because of the contraction (shortening) and relaxation of muscles. These major movements, however, are not the only ones directed by muscular activity. Muscles make it possible to stand, sit, speak, and blink. Even more, were it not for muscles, blood would not rush through blood vessels, air would not fill lungs, and food would not move through the digestive system. In short, muscles are the machines of the body, allowing it to work. DESIGN: PARTS OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEMThe muscles of the body are divided into three main types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. As their name implies, skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton and move various parts of the body. They are composed of tissue fibers that are striated or striped. The alternating bands of light and dark result from the pattern of the filaments (threadlike proteins) within each muscle cell."

"text": "Muscles That Are Prime Moversby BRIAN BOWDEN Aug. 14, 2017The human body is made up of hundreds of muscles that must work together to allow for body movements. Although many of the body's muscles are small, and work in accordance with other muscles for proper movement, there are large muscles, within the body, that are primarily responsible for certain body movements. These major muscles are considered prime movers because they are the primary muscles involved in the activation of many of the major joints within the body. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Latissimus Dorsi The latissimus dorsi, more commonly referred to as the back muscles, is made up of two large muscles on the right and left posterior side of the upper body. The function of this muscle group is to allow for extension of the shoulder joint. In other words, by allowing for extension of the shoulder joint, adduction of the arm is possible. Generally, this muscle group is responsible for most of the pulling actions of the upper body. Pectorals The pectoral muscles, more commonly known as the chest muscle group, is made up of an upper and lower muscle group. It is located on the left and right side of the anterior side of the upper body. The primary function of this muscle group is the abduction of the arms and flexion of the shoulder joint."

A lever may be defined as a rigid rod that moves about on some fixed point called a fulcrum. A fulcrum may be symbolized as F. A lever is acted on at two different points by two different forces: the resistance R and the Effort E.1.1.3.2 The resistance may be regarded as a force (load) to be overcome, whereas the effort is the force exerted to overcome the resistance.1.1.3.3 The resistance may be the weight of a part of the body that is to be moved. The muscular effort (contraction) is applied to the bone at the insertion of the muscle and produces motion if the effort exceeds the resistance (load). Consider the biceps brachii flexing the forearm at the elbow as a weight is lifted. When the forearm is raised, the elbow is the fulcrum. The weight of the forearm plus the weight in the hand is the resistance. The shortening due to the force of contraction of the biceps brachii pulling the forearm up is the effort.1.1.3.4 Levers1.1.3.4.1 Levers are categorized into three types according to t he positions of the fulcrum, the effort, and the resistance.1.1.3.4.2 First-class Levers1.1.3.4.2.1 In first-class levers, the fulcrum is between the effort and resistance. This is symbolized EFR. An example of a first-class lever is a seesaw."

"text": "\"What Are the Prime Movers for the Pull-Up?by DANNY VASQUEZ Sept. 11, 2017To perform a pull-up, this exercise takes a certain amount of strength and is mainly used to target the latissimus dorsi and the teres major. When the shoulder blades come together at the top of the movement, the rhomboids and the middle and lower portions of the trapezius get involved; helping add thickness and strength to the back. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Identification Pull-ups are one the most effective and demanding exercises you can do to develop overall back and hand-grip strength. According to Frederic Delavier, author of \"\"Strength Training Anatomy,\"\" several synergistic muscles in the arm and back are used to carry out a pull-up, though only the latissimus dorsi and the teres major are the primary movers. These two muscles insert into the humerus, which gives them the angle or leverage to pull the body upward. Latissimus Dorsi The latissimus dorsi, a large triangular shaped muscle located in the posterior, originates on the lower spine, last four ribs and inferior angle of scapula. The muscle the inserts into the intertubercular groove of humerus after spiraling around teres major. This allows the latissimus dorsi to extend, adduct and medially rotate the arm. The latissimus dorsi helps with forced expiration and deep inspiration as it assists in lifting the rib cage. Teres Major The teres major is a small muscle that originates on the lateral inferior angle of the scapula."

A well-executed pushup recruits multiple muscles of the arms, chest and shoulder complex. To make your contours pop, try varying the placement of your hands to target specific muscles. Muscles Recruited in Pushups Categorically, pushups are considered a chest exercise. But in addition to the large pectoralis major muscle that defines the chest, pushups also recruit the triceps at the back of the upper arm, and the anterior deltoid at the front of the shoulder. When the scapulae, or shoulder blades, are fully protracted, the serratus anterior, which lies beneath the arm along the rib cage, comes into play. Your rectus abdominis, the long muscle that runs from your pubic crest to your ribs, is recruited as a stabilizer for the spine. While the pectoralis major is the prime mover in any pushup, your hand placement can determine which secondary muscles are emphasized during execution. Wide-Hand Plant Placing your hands wider than your shoulders minimizes the recruitment of the triceps and anterior deltoid while emphasizing the pectoral muscles. Because elbow extension is diminished, the triceps play a less significant role."

"text": "4.2 - The covalent bond4.2.1: Describe the covalent bond as the electrostatic attraction between a pair of electrons and the positively charged nuclei. Single and multiple bonds should be considered. Examples should include O2, N2, CO2, HCN, C2H4 (ethene) and C2H2 (ethyne). Covalent bonding - overview Electrons have a negative charge and the nuclei they surround have a positive charge. When the two particles approach one another the electron clouds can overlap. When this happens, under certain circumstances, the electrons that are between two nuclei can be attracted to both nuclei, holding them together. This force of attraction is known as a chemical bond. When the atoms form a bond they become lower in energy and the system is more stable. The energy saved by moving to a more stable situation is released as heat. For this reason bond formation is always exothermic, i.e. heat energy is released."

Answer : Cesium Oxide ( Cs2O ) is an Ionic bond What is chemical bond, ionic bond, covalent bond? Chemical bond A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond Ionic bonding Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. The ions are atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as anions, which are negatively charged) and atoms that have lost one or more electrons (known as cations, which are positively charged).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding Covalent bond A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent

A binary ionic compound has one metal and one nonmetal present in the compound. Let's consider my username (rubidium.chloride) as an example. Rubidium chloride, or Rb Cl, is a binary ionic compound. The metal here is Rb (rubidium, group 1A) and the nonmetal is Cl (chlorine, group 7A). When you name binary ionic compounds, you mention the cation (positively charged ion) first (usually metals, those elements that appear on the left side of the periodic table have the tendency to form positively-charged ions). Then mention the anion (negatively charged ion). The cation is rubidium (Rb). We mention it thus: Rubidium The anion is chlorine. When we write the name of the anion [alongside with the cation], we drop the ending -ine (or whatever ending it may have) and replace it with -ide."

Answer by John Welsh Confidence votes 15.2KNo. In its pure, gaseous form Ammonia is molecular - formula NH3, formed with covalent bonds throughout. However, when ammonia dissolves in water (it is VERY soluble in water by the way...) it reacts with the water forming an ionic solution - ammonium hydroxide. This has the formula NH4 OH . the NH4 is a positive ion with a single + charge, and the OH is a negative ion with a single negative charge. Ammonium hydroxide only exists as a solution in water however; as soon as you try to concentrate the solution up by evaporation, the ammonium hydroxide breaks back down into ammonia gas and water.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

His name is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging from physics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, to architecture and naval technology; he collaborated or corresponded with scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton. Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapement and the balance spring, which made more accurate clocks possible; served as Chief Surveyor and helped rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666; worked out the correct theory of combustion; devised an equation describing elasticity that is still used today (\"\"Hooke's Law\"\"); assisted Robert Boyle in studying the physics of gases; invented or improved meteorological instruments such as the barometer, anemometer, and hygrometer; and so on. He was the type of scientist that was then called a virtuoso -- able to contribute findings of major importance in any field of science. It is not surprising that he made important contributions to biology and to paleontology. Relatively little is known about Robert Hooke's life. He was born on July 18, 1635, at Freshwater, on the Isle of Wight, the son of a churchman. He was apparently largely educated at home by his father, although he also served an apprenticeship to an artist."

The first fossilized remains were discovered in a limestone quarry at Maastricht on the Meuse in 1778, and the first genus of mosasaur, Mosasaurus, was named. These ferocious marine predators are now considered to be the closest relatives of snakes, due to cladistic analysis of symptomatic similarities in jaw and skull anatomies. [ 1] Mosasaurs were not dinosaurs, but lepidosaurs, reptiles with overlapping scales. These predators evolved from semi-aquatic squamates [2] known as the aigialosaurs, close relatives of modern-day monitor lizards, in the Early Cretaceous Period. During the last 20 million years of the Cretaceous Period ( Turonian - Maastrichtian ), with the extinction of the ichthyosaurs and pliosaurs, mosasaurs became the dominant marine predators. The discovery and study of mosasaurs near Maastricht in Europe in the late 1700s predated the finding of dinosaurs by more than fifty years. Many complete mosasaur specimens have been found in the Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation of Western Kansas, and some of the first mosasaur remains were collected by Professor Benjamin Mudge and Dr. George M. Sternberg more than 130 years ago. A few years later, in a series of scientific expeditions sponsored by O. C. Marsh and Yale University, hundreds of specimens were collected. As a group, the fossilized remains of mosasaurs had been found all over the world, from the west and mid-west of North America, South America, Australia and islands off the coast of Antarctica."

For millennia, the smallest thing humans could see was about as wide as a human hair. When the microscope was invented around 1590, suddenly we saw a new world of living things in our water, in our food and under our nose. But it's unclear who invented the microscope. Some historians say it was Hans Lippershey, most famous for filing the first patent for a telescope. Other evidence points to Hans and Zacharias Janssen, a father-son team of spectacle makers living in the same town as Lippershey. Janssen or Lippershey? Hans Lippershey, also spelled Lipperhey, was born in Wesel, Germany in 1570, but moved to Holland, which was then enjoying a period of innovation in art and science called the Dutch Golden Age."

Spherical fullerenes, also referred to as Buckminsterfullerenes or buckyballs, resemble the balls used in association football. Cylindrical fullerenes are also called carbon nanotubes (buckytubes). Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings. Unless they are cylindrical, they must also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings. [ 1]The first fullerene molecule to be discovered, and the family's namesake, buckminsterfullerene (C 60 ), was manufactured in 1985 by Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, James Heath, Sean O'Brien, and Harold Kroto at Rice University. The name was an homage to Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic domes it resembles.

This effort in synthetic biology is being undertaken at the J. Craig Venter Institute by a team of approximately 20 scientists headed by Nobel laureate Hamilton Smith, and including DNA researcher Craig Venter and microbiologist Clyde A. Hutchison III. Mycoplasma genitalium was chosen as it was the species with the smallest number of genes known at that time. On May 21, 2010, Science reported that the Venter group had successfully synthesized the genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides from a computer record, and transplanted the synthesized genome into the existing cell of a Mycoplasma capricolum bacterium that had had its DNA removed. The \"\"synthetic\"\" bacterium was viable, i.e. capable of replicating billions of times. ( The team had originally planned to use the M. genitalium bacterium they had previously been working with, but switched to M. mycoides because the latter bacterium grows much faster, which translated into quicker experiments.) Scientists who were not involved in the study caution that it is not a truly synthetic life form because its genome was put into an existing cell. [ b 1]It is estimated that the synthetic genome cost US$40 million to make and took 20 people more than a decade of work.

Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Robert Hooke, when using an early microscope, observed the cells in a thin slice of cork. He called them this because they resembled the small rooms monks resided in. Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_%28biology%29Cubic Moo · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment That's right, Robert Hooke Definitions: 1. Any one of the minute protoplasmic masses that make up organized tissue, consisting of a nucleus which is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains the various organelles and is enclosed in the cell or plasma membrane. A cell is the fundamental, structural, and functional unit of living organisms. 2. A small, more or less closed space. neuroglial cells - The cells of the supportive tissue of the central nervous system (neuroglia); these non-neural cells are of three kinds: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes (collectively termed macroglia) and microglia. reticular cells - The cells forming the reticular fibers of connective tissue; those forming the framework of lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen are part of the reticuloendothelial system and under appropriate stimulation may differentiate into macrophages."

He is known as \"\"the father of modern pathology \"\" because his work helped to discredit humourism, bringing more science to medicine. He is also known as the founder of social medicine and veterinary pathology, and to his colleagues, the \"\"Pope of medicine\"\". [ 4] [5] [6]Born and raised in Schievelbein ( Świdwin) as an only child of a working-class family, he proved to be a brilliant student. Dissuaded by his weak voice, he abandoned his initial interest in theology and turned to medicine. With the help of a special military scholarship, he earned his medical degree from Friedrich-Wilhelms Institute ( Humboldt University of Berlin) under the tutelage of Johannes Peter Müller. He worked at the Charité hospital under Robert Froriep, whom he eventually succeeded as the prosector. [ 7]Although he failed to contain the 1847–1848 typhus epidemic in Upper Silesia, his report laid the foundation for public health in Germany, as well as his political and social activities. From it, he coined a well known aphorism: \"\"Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale\"\". He participated in the Revolution of 1848, which led to his expulsion from Charité the next year."

The term cell is derived from the Latin word and was first observed by a scientist named Robert Hook in the year 1665. All living organisms are composed of one or many cells to perform their individual functions. A cell is a smallest unit of a life, which is able to control and perform several functions in all living organisms. All unicellular organisms (single cell) including bacteria and archae, which are composed of a single cell, are examples of prokaryotic cells. All multicellular organisms (many or more than one cell) including humans, which are composed of complex or many cells, are examples of eukaryotic cells. Both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane and genetic material in common. Is a cell necessary for a life? Yes, all living organisms on planet earth require a cell. Cell plays a vital role in keeping us alive by controlling all types of biochemical functions inside an organism."

This latter teng, which is used to write the 騰蛇 tengshe flying dragon, occurs in draconic 4-character idioms such as longtenghuyue 龍騰虎躍 (lit. \"\" dragon rising tiger leaping\"\") \"\"scene of bustling activity\"\" and tengjiaoqifeng 騰蛟起鳳 (\"\"rising dragon soaring phoenix\"\", also reversible) \"\"a rapidly rising talent; an exceptional literary/artistic talent; a genius\"\".

It’s actually the most commonly used and extensively researched adaptogen herb. It’s valued for its thyroid modulating, neuroprotective, anti-anxiety, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are just some of the many ashwagandha benefits. In India, ashwagandha is known as the “strength of the stallion” because it has traditionally been used to strengthen the immune system after illness. It has also been referred to as “Indian ginseng” because of its ability to enhance your stamina and work as a natural stress reliever. In fact, it’s ashwagandha’s ability to work as a stress-protective agent that has made it such a popular herb. Like all adaptogenic herbs, ashwagandha helps the body to maintain homeostasis, even in moments of emotional or physical stress. But the many ashwagandha benefits don’t stop there."

"text": "7 Sacred Herbs and Foods For Boosting Your Sex Drive and Optimizing Your Hormonal Balance BY JUSTIN FAERMANthere are a number of little known sacred foods and herbs for sex that boost libido and stimulate hormonal production and balance. photo: sonny abesamis Share: I f there’s one idea I can impress upon you in this article it’s this: horny equals healthy. You see, few know this, but your sex drive is actually a pretty good indicator of your overall health. That’s because your libidois a direct reflection of your overall hormonal balance and hormones are the master regulators of nearly every system, organ and process in your body, including your emotions, mood and consciousness itself. And this goes way beyond simply raising or lowering your estrogen and testosterone levels. There are nearly a hundred known hormones as of this writing, each one playing an absolutely critical role in your health and wellbeing. But despite being a massively intricate and complex biological system, your libido levels are an easy way to calibrate your body’s overall health and functioning. They’re like a proverbial “canary in the coal mine”, if you will. So if your sex drive is robust and responsive, then generally speaking, you’re probably in pretty good shape hormonally. But if it’s not quite where it needs to be and you are experiencing symptoms like erectile dysfunction or ED for men and decreased pleasure, low libido or desire in both men and women, then it may be time to introduce some libido boosting herbs and foods, because, as you may have guessed, these achieve their effect by rejuvenating, balancing and regulating the endocrine system, which is the master controller of your circulating hormones."

Contents1 History2 Composition3 Cocktails4 Poem5 Sponsorships5.1 Sports5.2 Music6 References7 External links History The term Jägermeister was introduced in Germany in 1934 in the new Reichsjagdgesetz (Imperial Hunting Laws). The term was applied to senior foresters and gamekeepers in the German civil service, while the topmost gamekeeper was Reichsjägermeister Hermann Göring. Thus, when the liquor was introduced in 1935, the name was already familiar to Germans and was occasionally called \"\"Göring-Schnapps\"\". Curt Mast, the original distiller of Jägermeister, was an enthusiastic hunter. [ 2] Translated literally, Jägermeister means \"\"hunt-master\"\", combining Jäger (hunter) and Meister (master, in the sense of an accomplished professional). A possible free translation might be gamekeeper. Jägermeister was originally developed as a digestif and as a cough remedy. [ 3] In Germany, it may be humorously referred to as Leberkleister (“liver glue”)."

In the late Renaissance, the gardens became larger, grander and more symmetrical, and were filled with fountains, statues, grottoes, water organs and other features designed to delight their owners and amuse and impress visitors.

The Italian Renaissance garden broke down the wall between the garden, the house, and the landscape outside. [ 1]The Italian Renaissance garden, like Renaissance art and architecture, emerged from the rediscovery by Renaissance scholars of classical Roman models. They were inspired by the descriptions of ancient Roman gardens given by Ovid in his Metamorphoses; by the letters of Pliny the Younger, by Pliny the Elder 's Naturalis Historia; and in Rerum Rusticanum by Varro, all of which gave detailed and lyrical description of the gardens of Roman villas. [ 2]Pliny the Younger described his life at his villa at Laurentum: \"\" ...a good life and a genuine one, which is happy and honourable, more rewarding than any \"\"business\"\" can be. You should take the first opportunity to leave the din, the futile bustle and useless occupations of the city and devote yourself to literature or to leisure.\"\" [ 3] The purpose of a garden, according to Pliny, was \"\" otium ,\"\" which could be translated as seclusion, serenity, or relaxation, which was the opposite of the idea of \"\"negotium\"\" that often classified busy urban life."

"text": "\"Eucommia Bark Benefits, A Tonic Herb for the Bones and Joints Eucommia bark is a major tonic herb that comes from a small tree native to China, often called the \"\"Chinese rubber tree\"\" because of its latex-bearing qualities. The bark of the tree has been used for many centuries as a decocted tea preparation for its profound effects on increasing the overall strength of the skeletal structure. A popular herb among athletes, eucommia is known to help improve flexibility and well as increase physical energy. It is used to help fortify the bones, ligaments and tendons and is especially reinforcing to the knees, ankles and back, particularly the lumbar lower spine region. Although the bark is very a energizing substance, it is not a stimulant per se, but works as an adaptogen to both activate circulation as well as calm the nerves if needed. Studied and well documented for its blood pressure lowering qualities and actions as an anti-inflammatory agent, eucommia is a great herbal adjunct for the elderly for maintaining bone health, flexibility and structural stability. In some current research the bark extract is also shown to be of benefit to neurological functions and cognitive decline. A Yang Jing Tonic Herb Eucommia bark is a highly revered \"\"herb\"\" in Chinese herbalism and was first mentioned over 2,500 years ago in the herbal classic Shennong Ben Cao Jing, listed next to ginseng as a superior tonic herb. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is viewed as a potent Yang Jing tonic used to support the skeletal, reproductive and endocrine systems. Jing, one of the three treasures in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is viewed as the primordial life-force energy given to us at the time of our conception and is said to be stored in the kidneys, joints, ligaments, spinal column, neck and brain."

The hairs trap dust particles and other pathogens so that the air clean to pass into the next stage. The hairs cause sneezing to get rid of pathogens and send them back out into the atmosphere. The nasal cavity is divided in half by a cartilage structure called the nasal septum. Both halves of the cavity function similarly, each nostril leasing into its appropriate part.

The nasal cavity is surrounded by paired, air-filled chambers on each side, and these lie towards the sides and above the nose (the “paranasal sinuses”). These paired sinuses are the maxillary (lying in the cheek bones), frontal (lying between the eyebrows), ethmoid (between the eyes) and the sphenoid sinuses (between the center of the skull base and the nose). The paranasal sinuses drain into the nose, and their detailed anatomy is discussed in another Patient Education section.

The oropharynx and laryngopharynx providepassageways for both air and food. The pharynx also functions as a resonating organ in speech. The pharynx is separated from the mouth by the soft palate and its fleshy V-shaped extension or flap, the uvula, which hangs from the top of the back of the mouth, above the root of the tongue. In swallowing, the uvula lifts up, closing off the nasopharynx as food passes from the mouth throughthe lower parts of the pharynx to the esophagus.

"text": "Contents [ show]The oral cavity, better known as the mouth, is the start of the alimentary canal. It has three major functions: Digestion – receives food, preparing it for digestion in the stomach and small intestine. Communication – modifies the sound produced in the larynx to create a range of sounds. Breathing – acts as an air inlet in addition to the nasal cavity. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the oral cavity – its divisions, contents, and any clinical correlations. Divisions of the Oral Cavity The oral cavity spans between the oral fissure (anteriorly – the opening between the lips), and the oropharyngeal isthmus (posteriorly – the opening of the oropharynx). It is divided into two parts by the upper and lower dental arches (formed by the teeth and their bony scaffolding). The two divisions of the oral cavity are the vestibule, and the mouth cavity proper. Vestibule By Teach Me Series Ltd (2018)Fig 1.0 – The two divisions of the oral cavity are the vestibule and oral cavity proper. The horseshoe-shaped vestibule is situated anteriorly."

"text": "Anatomy Of The Respiratory System The respiratory system (also referred to as the ventilator system) is a complex biological system comprised of several organs that facilitate the inhalation and exhalation of oxygen and carbon dioxide in living organisms (or, in other words, breathing). 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."

This is true of lampreys, most cartilaginous fish, and virtually all actinopterygians. There are a few exceptions. For example, in hagfish, a nasopharyngeal pouch (present in lampreys) communicates with the pharynx. In some cartilaginous fish, there are oronasal grooves which connect the nasal cavity with the mouth. In the teleost genus Astroscopus, there is a channel which connects the nasal and oral cavities ( Weichert, 1970). Sarcopterygians evolved a connection between the nasal cavity and the oral cavity, called an internal naris ( Romer, p. 325; Weichert, 1970). In none of these fish, not even the lungfishes, are the nostrils used to breathe ( Weichert, 1970). Tetrapods utilize their nasal cavity for the intake of air. In reptiles, the length of the nasal cavity is typically longer than in amphibians."

It begins at the nostrils of the nose, continuing into the nasal cavity. From here, it passes through the pharynx , larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and ends in the alveoli. The airway as a whole can be divided into two segments: a conducting segment (from the nostrils to the terminal bronchiole) and a respiratory segment (from the respiratory bronchioles to the alveoli). Along the respiratory pathway, the epithelial lining changes to accommodate different functions. This article reviews changes in the epithelia and supporting cells of the upper respiratory tract (from the nasal cavity to the pharynx). Recommended video: Lateral wall of nasal cavity Bones, cartilages and mucosa with focus on the lateral wall. Nasal Cavity The nose, as the primary mode of entry of air into the airway, has both respiratory and olfactory functions. In its respiratory capacity, it modifies the air so that gaseous exchange will occur more efficiently in the lungs , while in its olfactory capacity, it detects various odors and transmits those impulses to the brain for interpretation. Nasal vestibule Entering the nares, or nostrils, the nasal vestibule is lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium – a continuation of the cutaneous lining from the external nose."

This hormone, which is produced primarily in the testicles, is associated with sexual prowess, libido, and muscle strength, but it also is critical for maintaining bone density, energy levels, and even moods. In many ways, it is the male hormone. That’s why when testosterone levels begin to decline as men age and because of other factors such as weight gain, exposure to environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyle, guys begin to worry. They see their sex drive faltering, their waistlines expanding, their hairlines receding, their sleep habits changing, and their get-up-and-go waning. Suddenly all those late-night ads on TV about testosterone replacement and supplements to boost T levels sound like the answer. But they are not. How can you raise testosterone levels naturally? Testosterone levels are going to decline as you age – especially if you are sedentary and/or overweight, and/or you don’t get enough sleep – but that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to significantly improve your T levels naturally and keep them at a point that allows you to maintain your effectively. One way is to include certain foods in your diet on a regular basis, but before we discuss them, there are a few other things you should know about testosterone and how to maintain healthful levels.1."

Antenatal supplements include micro-nutrients like Vitamin D, C, B-Complex (especially Vitamin B6, B12, B9) and Vitamin E along with minerals such as zinc, iron, calcium and copper in recommended doses. However, many women commit the mistake of not taking extra efforts in maintaining their health by avoiding prenatal supplements. But the question is why these supplements are so important before and during pregnancy? Why Prenatal Supplements Are Needed? In order to understand why prenatal supplements are important for expecting moms, it is important to know what happens in a normal pregnancy. Pregnancy is a phase that allows expecting mothers to nourish and protect their fetus in womb until the baby is fully prepared to survive in the outside world. To supply steady nourishment, to the fetus, maternal body undergoes several changes: Parallel system of blood circulation is established that maintains fetal circulation fairly independent of maternal circulation. In order to maintain two systems of circulation while still maintaining optimal blood pressure, the kidneys absorb significant amounts of water in an attempt to increase plasma volume. The extra fluidity of blood causes a relative deficiency of hemoglobin and other micronutrients like vitamins and minerals due to dilution factor."

When your hormones are in balance, you feel great, look great, have sustainable energy, a healthy appetite and a healthy sex drive. When hormones become out of balance, however, we often experience a wide variety of symptoms that can affect mood and energy, and may also lead to more serious conditions like the development of uterine fibroid tumors, fibrocystic breasts or hormone positive cancers, among others.

Because the liver is the body’s primary detoxifier, keeping it healthy is critical to your overall health, including proper metabolism and function of your hormones. Liver Function As unglamorous as it sounds, the liver operates somewhat like a sewage treatment plant. The liver takes everything we put into our bodies—whether it is swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin—and filters it. The liver’s filtration process separates the nutrients that the body needs for energy and all of its other functions and prepares to dispose of that which the body does not need, such as metabolic waste, toxins and excess substances. Specific liver functions include: Converting fats, proteins and carbohydrates to energy and nutrients Creating bile to break down fats and eliminate fat-soluble toxins and excess substances, including excess hormones Removing harmful chemicals, bacteria, and excesses Metabolizing drugs and breaking down alcohol Storing vitamins and minerals, such as iron Storing sugars as fuel (glycogen) for future use Helping to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance Creating serum proteins that act as hormone carriers Creating immune substances, such as gamma globulin Filtering blood, regulating blood clotting, and storing extra blood for quick release Manufacturing testosterone and the estrogen hormones Regulating sex hormone levels and eliminating excess hormones. Health problems can arise when we put things into our body, both consciously and unconsciously, that are toxic or build up an excess or toxicity over time, such as: Oily, processed foods Man-made chemicals including preservatives, pesticides, and lead from paints or gasoline Alcohol and drugs (therapeutic or otherwise)Excess hormones. Health problems can also occur if the nutrients that the liver needs to process toxins or excesses are in limited supply. Like a sewage treatment plant that is short staffed, if these nutrients are in short supply, the liver cannot process as quickly or as thoroughly as needed. If the liver becomes overburdened because of insufficient nutrients, the toxins or waste build up and the excess can escape back into the body, leading to serious health concerns."

According to the World Health Organization, this disease is characterized by a combination of two factors:low bone mass, often referred to as low bone mineral densitya “micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue” that affects its structural quality. While this definition makes it clear that osteoporosis is not simply the consequence of low bone mass, there is no diagnostic test to assess bone’s structural quality. As such, osteoporosis is currently diagnosed and defined based on low bone mineral density (BMD) only. There is no “cure” for osteoporosis, but there are measures you can take to prevent its onset or reverse its course—no matter what age you are—because bones continue to be renewed throughout life. How Do Bones Change Over Time? Although you can’t feel it happening, your bones are constantly undergoing a process called bone remodeling. Old and damaged bone tissue is continuously being cleared away (bone resorption) and replaced with healthy, new tissue (bone formation). As we age, our bodies become less efficient at constructing new bone, leading to a gradual but cumulative loss of bone strength. Bone remodeling occurs in both the tough, outer core, which is high in minerals, and the spongy, inner core, which is rich in marrow and blood vessels."

Another characteristic that sets vitamin B12 apart is its natural source. B12 is produced only in the gut of animals so, unlike other vitamins, we can’t obtain it from plants or from sunlight.

Our bodies need these essential fatty acids and vitamins, but because the body is unable to produce them on its own, it relies on a well balanced diet full of nutritional value. Even with proper meal planning and a careful eye on what we choose to put in our bodies, getting all the nutrients we need through our meals can be difficult.

At any given time, around 80% to 90% of the 150,000 hair follicles on your head are in the anagen, or growing, phase of the hair growth cycle. With anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 hairs not actively growing at any one time, it’s normal to shed an average of 100 hairs per day. However, if you’re shedding more than 100 hairs a day, or if you notice your hair thinning in concentrated spots on your head, it could be time to address a problem with hair loss. Thinning hair can be due to a number of factors, from poor diet and stress, to age, to hormonal changes (post pregnancy, menopause) or medication, or even illness. You may wish to seek medical advice to identify the root (no pun intended) cause of your slowed hair growth or thinning hair. A good diet complete with essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals is important to help maintain healthy hair growth. The nutrients we eat go into our bloodstream, and from there, essential nutrients are delivered via tiny capillaries to the dermal papilla, which nourishes growing hair. However, because the body considers hair and nails non-essential body parts, they can be among the last parts to be nourished by the ideal minerals and vitamins for hair growth. As a result, excellent diet and nutrition play an even more important role in maintaining healthy long hair and maximum hair growth."

The Procedure There are two components to the procedure. First, a small stomach pouch, approximately one ounce or 30 milliliters in volume, is created by dividing the top of the stomach from the rest of the stomach. Next, the first portion of the small intestine is divided, and the bottom end of the divided small intestine is brought up and connected to the newly created small stomach pouch. The procedure is completed by connecting the top portion of the divided small intestine to the small intestine further down so that the stomach acids and digestive enzymes from the bypassed stomach and first portion of small intestine will eventually mix with the food."

These protect the eye’s macula, lens and cornea while also lowering free radical damage and inflammation, which destroy tissue in the eyes. As we get older, the eyes become more susceptible to damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and overactive immune system, which results in the body becoming flooded with defense cells and hormones that damage parts of the eyes. How can eye vitamins keep your eyes young and sharp into older age? The Age-Related Eye Disease Study, a clinical trial concluded in 2001 that was sponsored by the National Eye Institute, found that a poor diet was a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Obtaining plenty vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and zinc were all found to significantly lower people’s risk, making them great natural treatments for macular degeneration and cataracts. ( 1)It’s been estimated that up to half of adults suffer from some sort of cataracts by the time they’re 75 years old. ( 2) Anti-inflammatory foods and those high in antioxidants have positive and preventative effects against eye-related disorders besides macular degeneration and cataracts too, including glaucoma, retinal nerve damage, loss of eye strength and partial vision loss."

The company claims to adhere to the \"\"highest ethical standards\"\" and to be \"\"an outstanding corporate citizen in every community we serve\"\". Yet Coca-Cola's activities around the world tell a different story. Coca-Cola has been accused of dehydrating communities in its pursuit of water resources to feed its own plants, drying up farmers' wells and destroying local agriculture. The company has also violated workers' rights in countries such as Colombia, Turkey, Guatemala and Russia. Only through its multi-million dollar marketing campaigns can Coca-Cola sustain the clean image it craves. The company admits that without water it would have no business at all. Coca-Cola's operations rely on access to vast supplies of water, as it takes almost three litres of water to make one litre of Coca-Cola. In order to satisfy this need, Coca-Cola is increasingly taking over control of aquifers in communities around the world. These vast subterranean chambers hold water resources collected over many hundreds of years."

Republic Day marks India's adoption of a republic constitution (with a president rather than a monarch) on January 26, 1950, after gaining of independence from British rule in 1947. Understandably, this makes it an occasion that's close to the hearts of all Indians. Republic Day is one of three national holidays in India. The other two are Independence Day (August 15) and Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday (October 2). How Did India Become a Republic? India fought a long and hard battle for freedom from the British empire. Known as the Indian Independence Movement, the battle spanned 90 years, starting from the large-scale Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British East India Company in the northern and central parts of the country."

Armed forces that are not a part of military or paramilitary organizations, such as insurgent forces, often mimic military organizations, or use ad hoc structures. Military organization is hierarchical. The use of formalized ranks in a hierarchical structure came into widespread use with the Roman Army. In modern times, executive control, management and administration of military organization is typically undertaken by the government through a government department within the structure of public administration, often known as a Ministry of Defense, Department of Defense, or Department of War.

An army (from Latin arma \"\"arms, weapons\"\" via Old French armée, \"\"armed\"\" (feminine)) or ground force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or state. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. In certain nations, the term army refers to the entire armed forces of a nation (e.g., People's Liberation Army ). Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army. They differ from army reserves who are activated only during such times as war or natural disasters. In several countries, the army is officially called the Land Army to differentiate it from an air force called the Air Army, notably France. In such countries, the word \"\"army\"\" on its own retains its connotation of a land force in common usage. The current largest army in the world, by number of active troops, is the People's Liberation Army Ground Force of China with 1,600,000 active troops and 510,000 reserve personnel followed by the Indian Army with 1,129,000 active troops and 960,000 reserve personnel."

The group's roots can be traced back to the Liberal guerrilla bands of La Violencia - the civil war between the Liberal and Conservative parties that raged from 1948 until 1958. Farc became disillusioned with the leadership of the Liberal Party and turned to communism. One of the guerrilla bands was led by Manuel \"\"Sureshot\"\" Marulanda (his real name is Pedro Antonio Marin), who in 1966 baptised his group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Experts estimate that FARC takes in between $500 million and $600 million annually from the illegal drug trade. The FARC also profits from kidnappings, extortion schemes, and an unofficial \"\"tax\"\" it levies in the countryside for \"\"protection\"\" and social services. About sixty-five of the FARC's 110 operational units are involved in some aspect of the drug trade, according to a 2005 International Crisis Group report, but evidence from that period indicates they primarily managed local production.

On 23 September 2010, the group's top military leader, Jorge Briceno, also known as Mono Jojoy, was killed in a raid on his jungle camp in the eastern region of Macarena."

[ 9] [10] [11] [12]The Provisional IRA emerged from a split in the Irish Republican Army in 1969, partly as a result of that organisation's perceived failure to defend Catholic neighbourhoods from attack in the 1969 Northern Ireland riots. The Provisionals gained credibility from their efforts to physically defend such areas in 1970 and 1971. From 1971–72, the IRA took to the offensive and conducted a relatively high intensity campaign against the British and Northern Ireland security forces and the infrastructure of the state. The British Army characterised this period as the 'insurgency phase' of the IRA's campaign. The IRA declared a brief ceasefire in 1972 and a more protracted one in 1975, when there was an internal debate over the feasibility of future operations. The armed group reorganised itself in the late 1970s into a smaller, cell-based structure, which was designed to be harder to penetrate. The IRA now tried to carry out a smaller scale but more sustained campaign which they characterised as the 'Long War', with the eventual aim of weakening the British government's resolve to remain in Ireland. The British Army called this the 'terrorist phase' of the IRA's campaign."

Part of this spike can be explained by inflation, but also by the fact that politicians seek to appeal to a younger, tech-savvy Indian electorate with more easily accessible campaign venues, more television commercials, digital marketing efforts, closed-circuit live broadcasts of rallies and increased social media and Internet content. The Indian Express reported that between 2009 and 2014, the advertising campaign budget of political parties alone more than tripled from $83 million to an estimated $300 million. “ You are dealing with a new generation of 150 million [youthful] voters who like to see a sense of scale,” said Dilip Cherian, a partner at Perfect Relations, an Indian political campaign adviser, reported Time magazine. “ The age of the street corner rallies is over. ”Narendra Modi, the leader of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, is especially keen on the use of social media to attract young voters, while the incumbent Congress party has “started spending on digital, which it never did in 2009,” said Mahesh Murthy, founder of Pinstorm, a digital marketing group. “ [ The political candidates] started [their campaigns long] before [the elections], and they are also focusing on states where they are traditionally not strong."

The name Guinea remains a source of debate; it is perhaps a corruption of an Amazigh (Berber) word meaning “land of the blacks.” The country also uses the name of its capital, Bissau, to distinguish it from Guinea, its neighbour to the east and south. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Young male dancer from the Bijagós Islands, Guinea-Bissau. Dave G. Houser/Corbis In the 15th and early 16th centuries the Portuguese commanded the entire western coast of Africa. Gradually their monopoly gave way to incursions by French, Dutch, English, and other European powers. The French pressured both the northern and southern borders of what is now Guinea-Bissau and placed the Casamance region of southern Senegal fully under French rule after the late 19th century. The English rivaled Portuguese authority on the coast, particularly at Bolama; a long-running dispute between the two powers resulted with Guinea-Bissau under Portuguese rule. Although Bissau is the country’s present capital and largest city, the towns of Bolama and Cacheu were important during the slave trade and in the colonial era."

Nikola Tesla’s discovery of alternating currents, for example, helped pave the way for widespread access to electricity, and Louis Pasteur’s discovery that heat and disinfectant could kill bacteria improved food safety and saved millions of lives. In 1655, the English scientist Robert Hooke made an observation that would change the study of biology forever. While examining a thin, dried section of cork tree with a crude light microscope, Hooke observed that he could plainly see the cork to be made up of tiny spaces surrounded by walls, much like a honeycomb, but that the spaces were irregular and shallow (Figure 1). Further, Hooke noted that these \"\"little Boxes\"\" were so numerous that there were \"\"in a square Inch above a Million... and in a Cubick Inch, above twelve hundred Millions [sic]\"\" (Hooke, 1655). Figure 1: The cork described in Micrographia by Robert Hooke. In his landmark book Micrographia, Hooke called these spaces \"\"cells\"\" because they resembled the small rooms monks lived in ( cella in Latin). What Hooke’s samples were not able to reveal at the time, though, was that cells are not in fact empty. Though he was diligent in looking at his samples through different magnifications and with various light sources and angles, there were two major obstacles that stood in Hooke’s way of discovering subcellular structures. The first was that the microscope he was using at the time was still too low of a magnification to show that much was contained within the walls of the cells."

Prokaryote evolved to eukaryote through several stages. An ancestral anaerobic (without air) eukaryote cannot metabolize efficiently due to its inability to oxidized fuel completely. To improve its metabolism, the ancestral eukaryote ingest a bacterial genome that is aerobic (with air). An aerobic metabolism is more efficient because fuel is oxidized to carbon dioxide. Once the bacterium is engulfed by the eukaryote, it then multiples within it. This symbiotic system can now carry out aerobic catabolism; thus, transforming anearobic eukaryote to aerobic eukaryote. There are three major changes that occurred as prokaryotes evolved to eukaryotes. First, the mechanism needed to fold DNA into compact structure containing specific proteins and the ability to divide equally between daughter cell during cell division became more elaborate. Since cell are now larger, system intracelluar membranes developed to create a double membrane to surround the DNA."

It controls all cellular activity and contains the cell’s genetic information. With the exception of translation, all steps of gene expression (including DNA replication and transcription) occur here, thereby allowing careful gene regulation in eukaryotes. Cell Wall This is a rigid layer encompassing cells of bacteria, algae, fungi and plant cells. It determines cell shape and provides tensile strength, structural support and protection against osmotic pressure. Bacteria are either gram-positive or gram-negative – their cell walls are composed of a peptidoglycan. In gram-negative bacteria, there is a cell wall between a plasma membrane and a permeable outer membrane. In gram-positive bacteria there is one plasma membrane, which is surrounded by a thicker cell wall."

The membranes of the ER are continuous with the outer nuclear membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum occurs in most types of eukaryotic cells, but is absent from red blood cells and spermatozoa. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum: rough and smooth. The outer ( cytosolic) face of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that are the sites of protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is especially prominent in cells such as hepatocytes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and functions in lipid manufacture and metabolism, the production of steroid hormones, and detoxification.

It’s sending electrical impulses, pumping blood, filtering urine, digesting food, making protein, storing fat, and that’s just the stuff you’re not thinking about! You can do all this because you are made of cells — tiny units of life that are like specialized factories, full of machinery designed to accomplish the business of life. Cells make up every living thing, from blue whales to the archaebacteria that live inside volcanos. Just like the organisms they make up, cells can come in all shapes and sizes. Nerve cells in giant squids can reach up to 12m [39 ft] in length, while human eggs (the largest human cells) are about 0.1mm across. Plant cells have protective walls made of cellulose (which also makes up the strings in celery that make it so hard to eat) while fungal cell walls are made from the same stuff as lobster shells. However, despite this vast range in size, shape, and function, all these little factories have the same basic machinery. There are two main types of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

"text": "Learning Objectives Explain the distinguishing characteristics of eukaryotic cells Describe internal and external structures of prokaryotic cells in terms of their physical structure, chemical structure, and function Identify and describe structures and organelles unique to eukaryotic cells Compare and contrast similar structures found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic organisms include protozoans, algae, fungi, plants, and animals. Some eukaryotic cells are independent, single-celled microorganisms, whereas others are part of multicellular organisms. The cells of eukaryotic organisms have several distinguishing characteristics. Above all, eukaryotic cells are defined by the presence of a nucleus surrounded by a complex nuclear membrane. Also, eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm. Organelles such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes are held in place by the cytoskeleton, an internal network that supports transport of intracellular components and helps maintain cell shape ( Figure ). The genome of eukaryotic cells is packaged in multiple, rod-shaped chromosomes as opposed to the single, circular-shaped chromosome that characterizes most prokaryotic cells. Table compares the characteristics of eukaryotic cell structures with those of bacteria and archaea. An illustration of a generalized, single-celled eukaryotic organism. Note that cells of eukaryotic organisms vary greatly in terms of structure and function, and a particular cell may not have all of the structures shown here."

"text": "Plant Cell Organelles Are you looking for information on plant cell organelles and their functions? Here is a brief information about the list of organelles present in a plant cell and the roles they play in the overall functioning of a cell. Difference Between Plant Cell and Animal Cell Plants are highly evolved, eukaryotic organisms that contain membrane-bound cell organelles. Even though plants and animals belong to eukaryotes, they differ in certain characteristic features. For example, a plant cell possesses a well-developed cell wall and large vacuoles, while an animal cell lacks such structural parts. Besides these structural differences, a plant cell lacks centrioles and intermediate filaments, which are present in an animal cell. A typical plant cell is made up of cytoplasm and organelles. In fact, all the organelles (except nucleus) and subcellular structures are present in the cytoplasm, which is enclosed by protective layers (the cell wall and cell membrane). Scientific studies have been done regarding the cell organelles and their functions. Each of the organelles of a plant cell has specific function, without which the cell cannot operate properly."

"text": "BIOL1 > Cell Structure Welcome, Guest! Login with Facebook | Login Cells You need to be able to use your knowledge of the structure of cells and the function of the organelles to interpret electronmicrographs of cells. In particular the epithelial cells lining the small intestine. These are cells which are specialised for absorbing the products of digestion. They will therefore have a large surface area provided by the microvilli and due to the need for active transport across their cell membranes they will contain a large number of mitochondria providing them with ATP. Epithelial cells also secrete enzymes and other proteins. This means that they will have a large and visible endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus to allow protein production and secretion. Below is a list of the most important organelles that you are required to know about. It is worth you using textbooks and perhaps even other websites such as www.cellsalive.com to look at actual images of different types of cells and their organelles. Nucleus Contains DNADNA arranged into long thin threads known as chromosomes In most cells the chromosomes are arranged in homologous pairs Surrounded by nuclear envelope This has pores to allow communication between the nucleus and cytoplasm Plasma Membrane Sea of phospholipids - arranged as a bilayer Intrinsic and extrinsic proteins float within the phospholipids Selectively permeable barrier - controls movement of substances between the internal and external environments Microvilli Adaptation of cells to increase surface area for absorption or secretion Found on epithelium of the small intestine Lysosomes Formed by the golgi apparatus Contain digestive enzymes - proteases and lipases Important to protect the cell from the effect of these enzymes before they are released at the cell surface membrane or into a phagocytic vesicle Mitochondria1µm in diameter and 7µm in length Mostly protein, but also contains some lipid, DNA and RNAPower house of the cell Energy is stored in high energy phosphate bonds of ATPMitochondria convert energy from the breakdown of glucose into adenosine triphosphate ( ATP)Responsible for aerobic respiration Metabolic activity of a cell is related to the number of cristae (larger surface area) and mitochondria Cells with a high metabolic activity (e.g. heart muscle) have many well developed mitochondria Ribosomes20-30nm in size Small organelles often attached to the ER but also found in the cytoplasm Large (protein) and small (r RNA) subunits form the functional ribosome Subunits bind with m RNA in the cytoplasm This starts translation of m RNA for protein synthesis (assembly of amino acids into proteins)Free ribosomes make proteins used in the cytoplasm."

THE MEDIAL FEMORAL MUSCLESGracilis Adductor longus Adductor magnus Pectineus Adductor brevis The Gracilis (figs. 643, 645, 647) is the most superficial muscle on the medial side of the thigh. It is thin and flattened, broad above, narrow and tapering below. It arises by a thin aponeurosis from the medial margins of the lower one-half of the body of the pubis and the upper one-half of the inferior ramus. The fibers run vertically downwards, and end in a rounded tendon, which passes across the medial condyle of the femur posterior to the tendon of the Sartorious then curves round the medial condyle of the tibia, where it becomes flattened and is inserted into the upper part of the medial surface of the shaft of the tibia, below the condyle. A few fibers from the lower part of the tendon are prolonged into the deep fascia of the leg. At its insertion the tendon is situated immediately above that of the Semitendinosus, and its upper edge is overlapped by the tendon of the Sartorius, with which it is in part blended. It is separated from the medial (tibial collateral) ligament of the knee-joint by the tibial intertendinous bursa. Nerve-supply.-The Gracilis is supplied by the obturator nerve (L. 2."

Yes, because every action assigned to the sartorius is also performed by other muscles. And it's relatively weak. Given its small diameter, the sartorius doesn't generate much force compared to its neighbors in the thigh. Perhaps its most important function is protection. In the anatomy lab, pulling the sartorius to one side reveals two major blood vessels on their way to and from the calf - the femoral artery and femoral vein. Covering those vessels with a muscle presumably offers better protection than mere skin, fat, and connective tissue."

Learning Objectives Differentiate among the muscles involved in moving the hip joint Key Takeaways Key Points The gluteus maximus extends the hip, while the gluteus medius and minimus are involved in hip rotation and abduction (moving hip out from the midline). The adductor group (adductor brevis, longus, and magnus along with petineus and gracilis) moves the femur towards the midline from an abducted position. The iliopsoas group of muscles (iliacus and psoas major) is responsible for hip flexion. The lateral rotator group of muscles (externus and internus obturators, the piriformis, the superior and inferior gemelli, and the quadratus femoris) turns the anterior surface of the femur outward. This motion is aided by the gluteus maximus and the adductor magnus. Key Termsadductor group: The adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, pectineus, and gracilis.lateral rotator group: The externus and internus obturators, the piriformis, the superior and inferior gemelli, and the quadratus femoris.gluteal group: The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.iliopsoas group: The iliacus and psoas major. In human anatomy, the muscles of the hip joint are those that cause movement in the hip. Hip joint muscles are divided into four groups according to their orientation and function. Movement at the hip is similar to that of the shoulder joint, but due to increased weight-bearing requirements the range of potential movements is reduced."

They originate commonly in the sphenooccipital and sacrococcygeal regions, and metastasize to the lungs, bone, skin, liver, and lymph nodes. They occur more frequently in men and people over the age of 40. PRESENTATION OF CASEA 28 year-old female presented with sacrococcygeal chordoma for which she received wide local excision and adjuvant radiation therapy. She enjoyed an unusual disease-free survival for 11 years until a routine surveillance scan of the pelvis identified local recurrence. Further work up revealed bilateral pulmonary metastases. She underwent local excision of the recurrent tumor and video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) wedge resection of pulmonary metastases."

"text": "Muscles that Cause Movement at the Hip Joint The four main groups of hip muscles are gluteal, adductor, iliopsoas, and lateral rotator, defined by the type of movement they mediate. Learning Objectives Differentiate among the muscles involved in moving the hip joint Key Takeaways Key Points The gluteus maximus extends the hip, while the gluteus medius and minimus are involved in hip rotation and abduction (moving hip out from the midline). The adductor group (adductor brevis, longus, and magnus along with petineus and gracilis) moves the femur towards the midline from an abducted position. The iliopsoas group of muscles (iliacus and psoas major) is responsible for hip flexion. The lateral rotator group of muscles (externus and internus obturators, the piriformis, the superior and inferior gemelli, and the quadratus femoris) turns the anterior surface of the femur outward. This motion is aided by the gluteus maximus and the adductor magnus. Key Termsadductor group: The adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, pectineus, and gracilis.lateral rotator group: The externus and internus obturators, the piriformis, the superior and inferior gemelli, and the quadratus femoris.gluteal group: The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.iliopsoas group: The iliacus and psoas major. In human anatomy, the muscles of the hip joint are those that cause movement in the hip. Hip joint muscles are divided into four groups according to their orientation and function. Movement at the hip is similar to that of the shoulder joint, but due to increased weight-bearing requirements the range of potential movements is reduced."

"text": "List of Muscles Attached to Major Bones of Bodyby LISA THOMPSON Aug. 14, 2017There are 206 bones and approximately 500 muscles in the human body. Most of these are skeletal muscles, which attach from one bone to another bone. One end of the muscle, the origin, attaches to a more stationary bone, while the other end, the insertion, attaches to a more movable bone. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Tibia The hamstring muscles attach to the tibia, which is one of the lower leg bones. The popliteus and soleus, both muscles in the calf, also attach to the tibia. Some of the muscles that extend and flex the ankles and toes, such as the tibialis anterior, also attach to this bone. Fibula The other bone in the lower leg is the fibula, to which the hamstring, soleus and peroneus muscles attach. Like the tibia, the fibula is also an attachment site for the muscles that flex and extend the foot. Femur The femur, the bone in the upper leg, is the attachment site for numerous muscles. The gastrocnemius, one of the calf muscles, attaches here, as do all of the glute muscles."

"text": "How to Stretch the Sartorius Muscleby MARIE MULROONEY Sept. 11, 2017The sartorius is a small, ribbon-like muscle that runs from the forward outside portion of your pelvis down to the inside of your leg, just below the knee. It helps flex both the hip and the knee. The sartorius also aids in performing external hip rotation as the hip and knee flex (think of turning your toes out into a duck-walk position--that’s external hip rotation) and abducts the hip (in other words, it moves your ankles further apart from each other if you keep your legs straight). Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Kneeling Stretch Step 1Kneel with one knee on the ground, the other bent at a 90-degree angle in front of you, with that foot flat on the floor. Support yourself against a wall or sturdy piece of furniture, if necessary, to keep your balance. Step 2Keep your spine upright and think of your pelvis as a bucket full of water. Keeping your pelvis in neutral position--that is, neither tilting forward nor back--will keep the imaginary water from spilling out. Step 3Lean forward with your spine still completely upright. Think of pushing the bucket of water (your pelvis) forward while still keeping it level. Clenching your buttock muscles while you do this may help you get a feel for the right motion."

Abductor Hallucis Stretches Hip flexion describes the bending motion that brings your thigh toward your chest. The muscles that accomplish this movement are collectively known as hip flexors. These muscles are among the most active in your body, initiating each step you take. Running, jumping, kicking and cycling are among the many activities that rely on strong hip flexion. Iliopsoas The term iliopsoas refers to the iliacus and psoas muscles, which are grouped together because they function collaboratively and share a common tendon. The psoas originates from your lower spine, and the iliacus arises from the inside of your hipbone. The muscles come together as they cross through the pelvis and insert on the inner thighbone below the hip joint. The iliopsoas is the most powerful hip flexor. Iliopsoas muscle and tendon strains may occur with activities that require repetitive hip flexion, such as hurdling, uphill running and playing soccer."

Humans usually have four parathyroid glands, variably located on the back of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin (one of the hormones made by the thyroid gland) have key roles in regulating the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones. Parathyroid glands share a similar blood supply, venous drainage, and lymphatic drainage to the thyroid glands. Parathyroid glands are derived from the epithelial lining of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches, with the superior glands arising from the fourth pouch, and the inferior glands arising from the higher third pouch. The relative position of the inferior and superior glands, which are named according to their final location, changes because of the migration of embryological tissues. Hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, characterized by alterations in the blood calcium levels and bone metabolism, are states of either surplus or deficient parathyroid function,.

It is composed of a network of ductless glands, which have rich blood supply that enables the hormones they produce to enter the blood stream directly and influence body functions. HORMONES are chemicals produced by glands that cause a specific effect at a TARGET. NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEM work together like an interlocking supersystem to control many intricate activities of the body. PITUITARY GLAND or HYPOPHYSIS, is a pea-sized organ located at the base of the brain. It is known as the MASTER GLAND because it regulates many body activities and stimulates other glands to secrete their own specific hormones. Consists of the anterior and posterior lobe. ANTERIOR LOBE or ADENOHYPOPHYSIS, triggered by the action of the hypothalamus, produces at least 6 hormones. POSTERIOR LOBE or NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, stores and secretes two hormones produced by the hypothalamus: ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and OXYTOCIN. THYROID GLAND is the largest gland of the endocrine system."

"text": "See how our team connects in diagnosing and treating endocrine diseases. Parathyroid Disease Adrenal Tumors Thyroid Disease Pancreatic Endocrine Disease PARATHYROID DISEASE back to top What is parathyroid disease? We all normally have four parathyroid glands located in our necks, which produce Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) to control the amount of calcium in our blood, nervous system and bones. If a tumor develops on these glands, it is called parathyroid disease, or hyperparathyroidism. These tumors can cause the glands to produce more hormone than needed (hyper means excessive), resulting in unhealthy, elevated levels of blood calcium, as well as a loss of needed calcium in the bones (osteoporosis) and the potential formation of kidney stones. What causes parathyroid disease? In most patients – approximately 80 percent – a tumor forms in the gland. This tumor is called a parathyroid adenoma and causes over-production of hormone. The remaining 20 percent may be caused by external factors, such as renal failure or other conditions. Parathyroid disease may rarely be caused by genetic mutations shared within families."

"text": "\"Hypoparathyroidism is the combination of symptoms due to inadequate parathyroid hormone production (PTH) (Hypo-parathyroid-ism). This is a very rare condition, and almost always occurs because of damage or removal of parathyroid glands at the time of parathyroid or thyroid surgery. This bears repeating: When people have too little parathyroid hormone (PTH), it is almost always because they had thyroid or parathyroid surgery and all four parathyroid glands were removed or injured. This is a mistake by the surgeon and is not supposed to happen. If this is the first parathyroid page you have read from our site, we strongly recommend that you read our introduction to the parathyroid gland first! Remember, hyp ER-parathyroidism is MUCH more common than hyp Oparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism is the state of decreased secretion or decreased activity of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This lack of PTH leads to decreased blood levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) and increased levels of blood phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia). There are no symptoms of too little parathyroid hormone other than the symptoms due to having a blood calcium that is too low. This bears repeating... the symptoms are due to the lack of calcium in the blood, not a lack of PTH."

The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which helps maintain an appropriate balance of calcium in the bloodstream and in tissues that depend on calcium for proper functioning.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs as a result of another disease that initially causes low levels of calcium in the body and over time, increased parathyroid hormone levels occur. Symptoms Hyperparathyroidism is often diagnosed before signs or symptoms of the disorder are apparent. When symptoms do occur, they're the result of damage or dysfunction in other organs or tissues due to high calcium levels circulating in the blood and urine or too little calcium in bones.

The endocrine system plays a role in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and sexual function and reproductive processes. In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are controlled by the nervous system.

Flag What hormone increases blood calcium levels? Answer by Paradox D Confidence votes 10If you are looking for the one hormone that does this, then the answer is parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced in the parathyroid glands. A more technical description is given below: Three hormones act in the body to increase blood calcium levels to normal. These hormones are 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin that originate respectively from the liver and kidneys, parathyroid glands, and thyroid glands. The first, 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (active vitamin D3), serves to increase calcium absorption from the intestine. The second, PTH, dissolves bone into the blood. The third, calcitonin, prevents the bone-derived calcium from being resorbed (\"\"reabsorbed\"\") into the bone from which it came via PTH. To summarize, these three hormones act in concert to raise calcium levels via external and internal routes. References: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 23e Kim E. Barrett, et."

True-breeding individuals are homozygous for a given traitgenotype the genetic composition of an organism; the actual alleles of each gene carried by the organismphenotype the physical characteristics of an organism; can be defined as outward appearance (such as flower color), as behavior, or in molecular (such as glycoproteins on red blood cells)punnett square method a method of predicting the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring in genetic crossestest cross a breeding experiment in which an individual showing the dominant phenotype is mated with an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same gene. The ratio of offspring with dominant versus recessive phenotypes can be used to determine the genotype of the phenotypically dominant individuallaw of independent assortment the independent inheritance of two or more traits, assuming that each trait is controlled by a single gene with no influence from gene (s) controlling the other trait; states that the alleles of each gene are distributed to the gametes independently of the alleles for other genes; this law is true only for genes located on different chromosomes or very far apart on a single chromosomelinkage the inheritance of certain genes as a group because they are parts of the same chromosome.

"text": "\"Modern evolutionary synthesis Charles Darwin’s work on \"\"Origin of Species\"\" led to overwhelming acceptance of theory of evolution by natural selection within the scientific community. In the 1930s, Darwinian natural selection was combined with Gregor Mendelian’s theory of genetics as the basis for biological inheritance and mathematical population genetics to form the modern evolutionary synthesis, in which the connection between the units of evolution (genes) and the mechanism of evolution (natural selection) was made. This powerful explanatory and predictive theory has become the central organizing principle of modern biology, providing a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. In the 1940s, the identification of DNA as the genetic material by Oswald Avery and colleagues and the subsequent publication of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, demonstrated the physical basis for inheritance. Since then, genetics and molecular biology have become core parts of evolutionary biology. Heredity or Inheritance: Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind. Only apple trees produce apples, and only lions can make more lions. Biological inheritance or heredity (from the Latin heres, heir) is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to characteristics of its parent cell or organism. The transmission of traits from one generation to the next is called heredity. Along with inherited similarity, there is also variation, Offspring differ somewhat in appearance from parents and siblings."

Modern genetics began with the work of the Augustinian friar Gregor Johann Mendel. His work on pea plants, published in 1866, described what came to be known as Mendelian inheritance. Many theories of heredity proliferated in the centuries before and for several decades after Mendel's work. The year 1900 marked the \"\"rediscovery of Mendel\"\" by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and Erich von Tschermak, and by 1915 the basic principles of Mendelian genetics had been applied to a wide variety of organisms—most notably the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Led by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his fellow \"\"drosophilists\"\", geneticists developed the Mendelian model, which was widely accepted by 1925. Alongside experimental work, mathematicians developed the statistical framework of population genetics, bringing genetic explanations into the study of evolution. With the basic patterns of genetic inheritance established, many biologists turned to investigations of the physical nature of the gene. In the 1940s and early 1950s, experiments pointed to DNA as the portion of chromosomes (and perhaps other nucleoproteins) that held genes. A focus on new model organisms such as viruses and bacteria, along with the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA in 1953, marked the transition to the era of molecular genetics."

"text": "Extranuclear DNAAll of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA ( cp DNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA ( mt DNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis. The cells of several groups of organisms contain small extra DNA molecules called plasmids. Bacterial plasmids are circular DNA molecules; some carry genes for resistance to various agents in the environment that would be toxic to the bacteria (e.g., antibiotics ). Many fungi and some plants possess plasmids in their mitochondria; most of these are linear DNA molecules carrying genes that seem to be relevant only to the propagation of the plasmid and not the host cell. Heredity and evolution At the centre of the theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace were the concepts of variation and natural selection. Hereditary variants were thought to arise naturally in populations, and then these were either selected for or against by the contemporary environmental conditions."

"text": "\"ADOLESCENCE.... Overview, Historical Background and Theoretical Perspectives Overview and Background Adolescence is a developmental transition between childhood and adulthood. It is the period from puberty until full adult status has been attained. In our society, adolescence is a luxury. It is reported that the real reason there is the developmental period of adolescence was to delay young people from going into the workforce, due to the scarcity of jobs. There are also varying views on the actual time line of adolescence-especially about when it ends. Typically, we view adolescence beginning at puberty and ending at 18 or 21 years. Others suggest that there is a period of late adolescence that extends well into what is now known as the period of young adulthood. G. Stanley Hall's Biogenetic Psychology of Adolescence G. Stanley Hall (1844-1924), was the first psychologist to advance a psychology of adolescence in its own right and to use scientific methods to study them. He defined this period to begin at puberty at about 12 or 13 years, and end late, between 22 years to 25 years of age. Hall also described adolescence as a period of Sturm und Drang,\"\" -- storm and stress.\"\""

Late adolescence may reflect a critical period in brain development making it particularly vulnerable for the onset of psychopathology. Neuroimaging studies that focus on this age range may provide unique insights into the onset and course of psychosis. In this review, we examine the evidence from 2 unique longitudinal cohorts that span the ages from early childhood through young adulthood; a study of childhood-onset schizophrenia where patients and siblings are followed from ages 6 through to their early twenties, and an ultra-high risk study where subjects (mean age of 19 years) are studied before and after the onset of psychosis. From the available evidence, we make an argument that subtle, regionally specific, and genetically influenced alterations during developmental age windows influence the course of psychosis and the resultant brain phenotype. The importance of examining trajectories of development and the need for future combined approaches, using multimodal imaging together with molecular studies is discussed.schizophrenia, adolescent, brain development, high risk, neural circuitry, prefrontal cortex Topic:neuroimaging phenotype adolescent adult age of onset child psychotic disorders schizophrenia relationship - siblingbrain diagnostic imaging brain development symptom onset Issue Section: Theme Introduction Introduction Schizophrenia is a complex and debilitating brain disorder that typically emerges in late adolescence and early adulthood and is characterized by hallucinations and delusions (commonly known as positive symptoms), social withdrawal, alogia, and flat affect (negative symptoms), and cognitive disabilities. Schizophrenia afflicts approximately 1% of the population worldwide incurring substantial individual, family, and societal costs 1 along with shortened life span. 2As is the case with many major neuropsychiatric illnesses, the typical age of onset for schizophrenia is in late adolescence or early twenties, with a slightly later onset in females. 3 Several lines of evidence have suggested that the pathogenesis of the disorder may be rooted in early development 4 and that brain changes during this period are relevant. 5, 6 According to the neurodevelopmental theory of schizophrenia proposed by Weinberger 7 and by Murray and Lewis, 8 early brain insults affect prenatal brain development and resultant pathophysiological mechanisms, causing dysfunction of the mature brain predisposing to schizophrenia."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Jean Piaget in Ann Arbor Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896–1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use it. [ 1] Piaget's theory is mainly known as a developmental stage theory. To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience. He believed that children construct an understanding of the world around them, experience discrepancies between what they already know and what they discover in their environment, then adjust their ideas accordingly. [ 2] Moreover, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism, and language is contingent on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development. [ 3] Piaget's earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centered classrooms and \"\" open education \"\" are direct applications of Piaget's views. [ 4] Despite its huge success, Piaget's theory has some limitations that Piaget recognized himself: for example, the theory supports sharp stages rather than continuous development ( décalage ). ["

While he was influenced by Freud's ideas, Erikson's theory differed in a number of important ways. Like Freud, Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of predetermined stages. Unlike Freud’s theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. Let's compare and contrast these two theories by looking at some of the key similarities and differences at each stage. Age: Birth to 1 Yearredheadpictures / Cultura / Getty Images The two theories of development both focus on the importance of early experiences, but there are notable differences between Freud's and Erikson's ideas. Freud centered on the importance of feeding, while Erikson was more concerned with how responsive caretakers are to a child's needs. Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development Freud's called this the oral stage. At this point in development, a child's primary source of pleasure is through the mouth via sucking, eating, and tasting. Problems with this stage can result in what Freud referred to as an oral fixation."

Fagan and Robert Rector American society may have erased the stigma that once accompanied divorce, but it can no longer ignore its massive effects. As social scientists track successive generations of American children whose parents have ended their marriages, the data are leading even some of the once-staunchest supporters of divorce to conclude that divorce is hurting American society and devastating the lives of children. Its effects are obvious in family life, educational attainment, job stability, income potential, physical and emotional health, drug use, and crime. Each year, over 1 million American children suffer the divorce of their parents (see Chart 1). Moreover, half of all children born to married parents this year will experience the divorce of their parents before they reach their 18th birthday. This fact alone should give policymakers and those whose careers focus on children reason to pause. But the social science research also is showing that the effects of divorce continue into adulthood and affect the next generation of children as well. If the effects are indeed demonstrable, grave, and long-lasting, then something must be done to protect children and the nation from these consequences. Reversing the effects of divorce will entail nothing less than a cultural shift in attitude, if not a cultural revolution, because society still embraces divorce in its laws and popular culture, sending out myriad messages that “It’s okay. ”It is not."

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. The life course perspective is a theoretical model that has been developing over the last 40 years across several disciplines. It is intended to look at how chronological age, common life transitions, and social change shape people's lives from birth to death. Sociologists, anthropologists, social historians, demographers, and psychologists have all helped to give it shape. The life course perspective also draws on traditional theories of developmental psychology. However, this perspective differs from these psychological theories in one way. While developmental psychology looks for universal, predictable events and pathways, the life course perspective calls attention to how historical time and the person's culture affect the individual experience of each life stage. LITERATURE REVIEW OF MAJOR THEMESIn 1994, Glen Elder identified four dominant themes in the life course approach: 1) interplay of human lives and historical time, 2) timing of lives, 3) linked or interdependent lives, and 4) human agency in making choices."

Because of the similarity and the close relation of these two terms, adolescence and youth often tend to be used interchangeably and at times, it is acceptable to do so. However, by definition, adolescence and youth convey different connotation s because of which the two terms must be carefully examined prior to employing them in relation to certain contexts. What is Youth? Youth is a general term that is used to convey the early stages of an individual’s life. It is often used to refer to young persons who have not yet reached adulthood. However, the most widely accepted belief is that youth refers to the time period between childhood and adulthood while the term itself can also be used to imply the characteristics of a young person such as appearance of freshness, spirit, vigour, etc. Usually, what is referred to as youth is individuals between the ages of 16 and 24. However, age-based definitions have not been known to be consistent over the years and, as a result, youth has come to mean a general term to refer to daring, fresh and energetic mindset and an exuberant physicality.

As children progress through school and gain independence, health care practitioners must facilitate a parallel transition from pediatric to adult providers. Modern medicine has succeeded in extending the life expectancy for many children with complex conditions, and adult providers are participating in their medical care through adulthood. Transitioning pediatric urology care to adult urology care is unique to every individual and his or her underlying condition, while the transition process is universal. The objectives of all pediatric urologists include preservation of the kidneys and lower urinary tracts, safe urine storage, safe urine drainage, urinary continence, fertility, sexual function, and genital cosmesis. For some children, these objectives can be attained during childhood, while other children require lifelong maintenance and management. Children with posterior urethral valves, exstrophy–epispadias complex, cloaca, vesicoureteral reflux, neurogenic bladder, disorders of sex development, cancer, hypospadias, nephrolithiasis, undescended testes, varicoceles, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, solitary kidney, and upper tract anomalies all require long-term evaluation and management. The obstacles of altering a patient and caregiver paradigm, locating adult urologists with special expertise, coordinating care with other adult specialties such as nephrology, and navigating the adult health care environment can impede the transition process.

"text": "Research Brief Key findings: Early childhood intervention programs have been shown to yield benefits in academic achievement, behavior, educational progression and attainment, delinquency and crime, and labor market success, among other domains. Interventions with better-trained caregivers and smaller child-to-staff ratios appear to offer more favorable results. Well-designed early childhood interventions have been found to generate a return to society ranging from $1.80 to $17.07 for each dollar spent on the program. There is increasing recognition that the first few years of a child’s life are a particularly sensitive period in the process of development, laying a foundation in childhood and beyond for cognitive functioning; behavioral, social, and self-regulatory capacities; and physical health. Yet many children face various stressors during these years that can impair their healthy development. Early childhood intervention programs are designed to mitigate the factors that place children at risk of poor outcomes. Such programs provide supports for the parents, the children, or the family as a whole. These supports may be in the form of learning activities or other structured experiences that affect a child directly or that have indirect effects through training parents or otherwise enhancing the caregiving environment. As part of a recent study, RAND researchers synthesized what is known from the scientifically sound research literature about the short- and long-term benefits from early intervention programs, the features that are associated with more-effective programs, and the economic gains that accrue from investing additional resources in early childhood. We summarize those findings here."

Erik Erickson, noted developmental psychologist, described the period of young adulthood as occurring between the ages of 20 and 45, but the United States Department of Health and Human Services has redefined the young adult period as the time between ages 18 and 24. Because the rapid and numerous changes often characterizing this period may be overwhelming, young people may find the services of a therapist or other qualified mental health professional to be beneficial as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. Young Adult Development Understanding Young Adult Issues Societal Expectations of Young Adults Young Adults and Mental Health Therapy for Young Adult Issues Case Example Young Adult Development The young adult period is characterized by rapid physiological, sexual, cognitive, and emotional changes. The transition from adolescent to adult becomes apparent as one completes the process of physical maturation and secondary sexual characteristics become fully formed. Many young adults also move into new adult roles and responsibilities: They may begin higher education studies, enter the workforce, move away from home, or start a family. They may be expected to accept responsibility for themselves legally, make decisions for themselves, and—in many cases—are often encouraged to begin supporting themselves financially. Erikson referred to the young adult period as \"\"intimacy vs. isolation\"\" in his eight stages of development, describing it as the period when individuals often begin intimate relationships after developing a sense of identity. Find a Therapist Advanced Search A longitudinal study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that a young adult's brain is not fully mature until around 25 years of age. It was discovered that most significant changes after puberty occur in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum—the regions involved in emotional control and higher-order cognitive functioning."

People with gender dysphoria desire to live as members of the opposite sex and often dress and use mannerisms associated with the other gender. For instance, a person identified as a boy may feel and act like a girl. This incongruence causes significant distress, and this distress is not limited to a desire to simply be of the other gender, but may include a desire to be of an alternative gender. Identity issues may manifest in a variety of different ways. For example, some people with normal genitals and secondary sex characteristics of one gender privately identify more with the other gender. Some may dress in clothes associated with the gender with which they identify, and some may seek hormone treatment or surgery as part of a transition to living full-time in the experienced gender. Gender dysphoria can be present in children or adolescents and adults, and can manifest differently in different age groups. Young girls may express the wish to be a boy, state that they are a boy, or assert that they will grow up to be a man."

"text": "Stages of Development of Psychology of People at Different Ages from Infancy to Old Age Article Shared by Stages of Development of Psychology of People at Different Ages from Infancy to Old Age!1. Meaning and Definition: Development means “a progressive series of changes that occur in an orderly predictable pattern as a result of maturation and experience”. The development of human being is a continuous process from conception to death.2. Psychology of People at Different Ages from Infancy to Old Age: Developmental psychology is concerned with the scientific understanding of age-related changes in experience and behaviour. Its task, as La Bouvie has pointed is “not only description but also explication of age-related changes in behaviour in terms of antecedent-consequent relationships”. Although most developmental theories have been specifically concerned with children, the ultimate aim is to provide an account of development throughout the life span. ADVERTISEMENTS: Some developmental psychologists study developmental change covering the life span from conception to death. By so doing, they attempt to give a complete picture of growth and decline. Among the different developmental psychologists, the views presented by Erickson and Havighurst appear to give a comprehensive picture of development of human individual from infancy to old age. These views are presented here."

His name alone symbolizes the importance of his theories, and the name that comes to most people's heads when saying the word psychology is Sigmund Freud. In the following paper, the reader will grasp the idea of psychoanalysis with the history, as well as examples of Freud’s own psychoanalytic work. \"\" Freud is important in the history of psychology, but he is more important in the history of ideas.\"\" His ideas have influenced literature, philosophy, theology, ethics, art, political science, anthropology, sociology, and the most of all psychology. His theories and treatments were to change forever our conception of the human condition. SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939)Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, Moravia, a part of the Austrian empire at that time, on May 6, 1856. Today it is a part of Czechoslovakia. He was raised in the traditions and beliefs of the Jewish religion. Freud considered a career in law but found legal affairs dull, and so, though he later admitted to \"\"no particular predilection for the career of a physician\"\" he chose a medical career."

"text": "\"Chapter 13 Nutrition through the Life Cycle: From Childhood to the Elderly Years Big Idea Good nutritional choices reduce the risk of chronic disease during the middle-aged years. The emergence of the obesity epidemic not only relates to what we eat and drink, but also how much we consume on a daily basis. © Thinkstock One hundred years ago, when many families sat down to dinner, they might have eaten boiled potatoes or corn, leafy vegetables such as cabbage or collards, fresh-baked bread, and, if they were fortunate, a small amount of beef or chicken. Young and old alike benefitted from a sound diet that packed a real nutritional punch. Times have changed. Many families today fill their dinner plates with fatty foods, such as french fries cooked in vegetable oil, a hamburger that contains several ounces of ground beef, and a white-bread bun, with a single piece of lettuce and a slice or two of tomato as the only vegetables served with the meal. Our diet has changed drastically as processed foods, which did not exist a century ago, and animal-based foods now account for a large percentage of our calories. Not only has what we eat changed, but the amount of it that we consume has greatly increased as well, as plates and portion size have grown much larger. All of these choices impact our health, with short- and long-term consequences as we age. Possible effects in the short-term include excess weight gain and constipation."

In nature, these bacteria may exist as individuals cells or be grouped together. Cocci cells that are grouped in pairs, known as diplococci cells, are cells that do not fully separate through cell division. Some cocci cells continue to divide in large bunches, while not fully dispersing from each other after cell division. In this situation, the cocci cells form a \"\"grape-like\"\" structure called staphylococcus. Neisseria, the bacteria responsible for the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea, exhibits a diplococcus formation.

Nearly everything you do to fight your acne, and nearly every product you buy – is all for the purpose of controlling the bacteria that cause acne…“Why do I need to know about acne bacteria?”, you may ask… “all I care about is killing the little buggers…”Because bacteria have been around a long time, they know how to survive – and controlling them on your skin is tricky and complicated. Amazingly, we still have much to learn about bacteria especially the bacteria that are thought to cause acne…But, regardless of what we don’t know about skin bacteria – we do know we can control it – with a few simple secrets – using a few simple techniques. So why not try it our way? Rather than just dumping more chemicals on your skin, exfoliating like crazy, or washing your skin raw… and popping then zapping zits with acne cleansing acid… why don’t you learn more about the bacteria that you are fighting against – and maybe loosing to…If you still have acne – then you are loosing the fight against acne bacteria…You see… scrubbing your face does practically nothing to control acne bacteria and acne – in fact, over-washing often makes acne worse! Why? Because you wash off all your natural bacteria-fighting substances inviting more bacteria to inhabit your pores!Maybe there is a better, more effective way to control acne bacteria."

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that multiply in colonies and add up to millions at a time. These can be found anywhere, from the earth's soil to the most unusual of places where they thrive. Their cell structures, which you will find out about later, are very different from that of animals and plants. They may not be visible to the naked eye, but they're very much existent among us. These can be healthy bacteria that we need for different bodily functions, or the destructive kind that can make us fall ill. We delve into the classification of bacteria, in a list of bacteria and viruses. Bacteria Anatomy One bacterium isn't the same structure as that of another, and can range from one type to the next in terms of how they look. That is mainly how scientists and bacteriologists identify them, based on these visual properties. Spiral shaped bacteria are known as spirilla in plural, and spirillus in singular.

The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus.

"text": "A glomerulus, plural glomeruli, is a knot of extremely tiny blood vessels involved in filtering the blood to form urine. There are many glomeruli inside the kidney, each contained within a capsule known as Bowman's capsule. Blood at high pressure passes into the glomerulus through a tiny artery. Water and soluble waste products filter out of the blood through the leaky walls of the glomerulus and enter a space inside Bowman's capsule before draining away through a tube, called a renal tubule, into the bladder. The remaining blood leaves the glomerulus through another small artery to rejoin the general circulation. Each glomerulus and its associated renal tubule make up a unit known as a nephron, and in humans there are more than a million nephrons in each kidney. Normally, the glomerular filtration rate is so efficient that the whole of the blood volume passes through the kidneys within about five minutes. The tiny artery supplying the glomerulus is called an afferentarteriole, and it divides into numerous tiny vessels, or capillaries, to form the capillary tuft that is the glomerulus. Blood pressure inside the glomerulus is relatively high, helping to force blood out of the capillaries. The capillary walls are full of minute pores through which filtration occurs."

"text": "Many diseases affect kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerular diseases include many conditions with a variety of genetic and environmental causes, but they fall into two major categories: Glomerulonephritis (gloh-MEHR-yoo-loh-nef-RY-tis) describes the inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood. Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MEHR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) describes the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney. Although glomerulonephritis and glomerulosclerosis have different causes, they can both lead to kidney failure. What are the kidneys and what do they do? The two kidneys are bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage to the left and right of the spine. Each about the size of a fist, these organs act as sophisticated filters for the body. They process about 200 quarts of blood a day to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water that eventually leave the body as urine. Blood enters the kidneys through arteries that branch inside the kidneys into tiny clusters of looping blood vessels. Each cluster is called a glomerulus, which comes from the Greek word meaning filter."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Ultrafiltration; The glomerulus is the main filter of the nephron and is located within the Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus resembles a twisted mass of tiny tubes through which the blood passes. The glomerulus is semipermeable, allowing water and soluble wastes to pass through and be excreted out of the Bowman's capsule as urine. The filtered blood passes out of the glomerulus into the efferent arteriole to be returned through the medullary plexus to the intralobular vein. Bowman's Capsule The Bowman's capsule contains the primary filtering device of the nephron, the glomerulus. Blood is transported into the Bowman's capsule from the afferent arteriole (branching off of the interlobular artery). Within the capsule, the blood is filtered through the glomerulus and then passes out via the efferent arteriole. Meanwhile, the filtered water and aqueous wastes are passed out of the Bowman's capsule into the proximal convoluted tubule. http://coe.fgcu.edu/faculty/greenep/kidn...

"text": "Nephron (Glomerulus and Tubule) Structure, Diagram, Functions Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The main function of the kidney is to filter fluid from the blood and concentrate the solution of waste materials which is passed out as urine. It can also control the levels of electrolytes and water that is lost in the urine or retained in the body thereby influencing blood volume and blood pressure. This ensures that the body is able to maintain a state of balance that is optimum for sustaining life (homeostasis). The kidney broadly has three main regions, an outer lying cortex, middle region known as the medulla and inner pelvis. The renal cortex and medulla is where the main processes of urine production occurs. The urine then accumulates in the renal pelvis and is directed towards the ureter, a narrow tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. What is the nephron? The nephron is the main functional unit of the kidney which is responsible for filtering the blood and concentrating the solution to produce urine. In the process, macronutrients, electrolytes and the required amount of water are retained while waste substances, excess electrolytes, micronutrients and toxins are expelled. There are some 1 million nephrons in each kidney but this number gradually decreases with age or more rapidly with certain diseases."

Well the secret is all in the structure of the renal corpuscle. The glomerulus is made up of blood vessels; there are two vessels connected by a network of capillaries. There is the larger afferent arteriole which takes blood to the renal corpuscle and the smaller efferent arteriole which takes blood away. Because the efferent is smaller than the afferent it allows pressure to build up in the capillaries. This pressure is called the filtration pressure and is mainly controlled by the diameters of the two vessels. The process is called ultrafiltration. The filtration pressure allows fluid to be pushed out of the connecting capillaries (the major portion of the glomerulus) and into the Bowman’s capsule leading to the rest of the kidney nephron."

Explanation: A knowledge of radioactive half-life is important because It enables the dating of artifacts. It allows us to calculate how long we must store radioactive waste until they become safe. It enables doctors to use safe radioactive tracers. Half-life is the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Scientists can use the half-life of carbon-14 to determine the approximate age of organic objects. They determine how much of the carbon-14 has transformed.

"text": "\"What is the formula for sodium nitride? Chemistry The Mole Concept Determining Formula1 Answer8Owen Bell Share Jan 5, 2016Answer: Na 3 NExplanation: Sodium is an element in group 1 of the periodic table. As such, it will form an electron by losing a single electron to form a 1+ ion: Na +. Nitrogen is an element in group 5 of the periodic table. When it forms the nitride ion, it gains three electrons to form a 3- ion: N 3 −. In ionic compounds, the charges of constituent ions must balance. This can be achieved by having three sodium ions per nitride ion. Therefore, the formula of sodium nitride is Na 3 N. However, Na 3 N is extremely unstable. It rapidly decomposes into its constituent elements according to the equation:2 Na 3 N → 6 Na + N 2It lacks a boiling point because of this. Since ionic compounds have very high melting and boiling points as a result of the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions that holds them together, sodium nitride should be no different; however, it will decompose as shown at around 360 Kelvin ( K) or 86.85 ∘ C.

S., the last case of naturally occurring polio was in 1979. Today, despite a worldwide effort to wipe out polio, poliovirus continues to affect children and adults in parts of Asia and Africa. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises taking precautions to protect yourself from polio if you're traveling anywhere there's a risk of polio. Adults who have been vaccinated who plan to travel to an area where polio is occurring should receive a booster dose of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). Immunity after a booster lasts a lifetime. Symptoms Nerve cell (neuron)Although polio can cause paralysis and death, the majority of people who are infected with the virus don't get sick and aren't aware they've been infected. Nonparalytic polio Some people who develop symptoms from the poliovirus contract a type of polio that doesn't lead to paralysis (abortive polio). This usually causes the same mild, flu-like signs and symptoms typical of other viral illnesses. Signs and symptoms, which can last up to 10 days, include: Fever Sore throat Headache Vomiting Fatigue Back pain or stiffness Neck pain or stiffness Pain or stiffness in the arms or legs Muscle weakness or tenderness Paralytic polio This most serious form of the disease is rare."

Amar Prabhu, Engineer Salk was not called the “Father of Biophilosophy” without reason. I have explained the possible reasons why he did not patent the vaccine here: Why didn’t Jonas Salk patent the polio vaccine? For those who want a short answer, Salk would have been richer by $7 billion if his vaccine were patented. Continue reading for how the number was arrived at. First a little bit of history and vaccine mechanism: Producing vaccine on a large scale requires virus samples in huge quantities and the tech did not exist when Salk started working on his vaccine. Folks from Harvard – Enders and Weller – should be given credit for coming up with an effective way to grow the virus on tissue scraps without getting contaminated by bacteria (they won the 1954 Nobel prize for their efforts), and this technique was used in the production of the Salk vaccine. Albert Sabin came up with a vaccine shortly after Salk, which he claimed was more effective (debatable). However the important thing is he did not patent his vaccine either, and both their discoveries were donated for the benefit of mankind."

Born in India and raised in Canada, Ferris made the journey into rural India to meet Ruksa Khatun, the 3-year-old girl who is the last child in India known to have contracted polio. This weekend, as the nation quietly marked two years without a single infection by the wild poliovirus, that child’s parents wondered how they were going to manage the surgery her doctors say she needs on a foot crippled by the disease. Ferris would understand the gravity of their situation better than most. After he was paralyzed by polio as an infant, his birth mother was unable to provide him with the care he needed and placed him in an international orphanage. He was adopted by a family in Canada’s Yukon territory, where he grew up, eventually becoming an advocate in the global drive to end polio. India was once considered the center of the crippling disease — and was expected to be the last place it would be eradicated. But last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that polio was no longer endemic in India. Next year, if no new cases arise, the country will be declared polio-free, perhaps the greatest public-health feat it has ever achieved, saving hundreds of thousands of children from paralysis and death. India’s accomplishment was a triumph of consistent and strong political will as well as international coordination and has given a huge lift to the global fight against polio, a disease that as recently as 1988 claimed 350,000 people each year."

This article exemplifies the AAFP 2003 Annual Clinical Focus on prevention and health promotion. Adult immunization rates have fallen short of national goals partly because of misconceptions about the safety and benefits of current vaccines. The danger of these misconceptions is magnified during pregnancy, when concerned physicians are hesitant to administer vaccines and patients are reluctant to accept them. Routine vaccines that generally are safe to administer during pregnancy include diphtheria, tetanus, influenza, and hepatitis B. Other vaccines, such as meningococcal and rabies, may be considered. Vaccines that are contraindicated, because of the theoretic risk of fetal transmission, include measles, mumps, and rubella; varicella; and bacille Calmette-Guérin. A number of other vaccines have not yet been adequately studied; therefore, theoretic risks of vaccination must be weighed against the risks of the disease to mother and fetus. Inadvertent administration of any of these vaccinations, however, is not considered an indication for termination of the pregnancy. The administration of vaccines during pregnancy poses a number of concerns to physicians and patients about the risk of transmitting a virus to a developing fetus."

The name poliomyelitis is derived from the joining of two Greek words, polio (gray) and myelon (marrow, denoting the spinal cord). The Greek name is logical since it is the effects of the poliomyelitus virus on the spinal cord that causes the characteristic paralysis of this disease (1). Poliomyelitus is caused by three strains of poliovirus. The three antigenically different strains of poliomyelitus (serotype 1,2, and 3) are classified in the genus Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae (10). Picornaviruses are viruses with an RNA genome, and enteroviruses are inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract. The poliovirus is a rough, spherical, virus with an icosahedral protein capsid that consists of 60 identical subunits, or protomers (5). The virus is close to 270 nm in diameter (small virus), contains a single-stranded RNA core, and lacks a lipid envelope (4). The poliovirus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route (very rarely the oral-oral route) from person to person and sometimes by a fomite. The virus is mainly found in human feces, contaminated water, and sewage (2)."

Some use live viruses while others use inactive or killed viruses or bacteria. For some diseases, both versions are available and each is recommended for a different population, such as those who are immunocompromised. You may have questions as to whether you would be contagious for the disease after getting a live vaccine due to viral shedding. Live vaccines are safe, with some precautions, especially when compared with the risk getting the disease itself and spreading it to others. Live vs. Inactivated Vaccines Live vaccines contain a weakened or attenuated form of a virus or bacteria. This is, in contrast, to \"\"killed\"\" or inactivated vaccines. It might sound frightening at first to realize that a vaccine contains a weakened virus or bacteria, but these are altered so that they cannot cause disease—at least in people with healthy immune systems, and the majority of people without a healthy immune system as well. If a child (or adult) has a suppressed immune system, live vaccines are not given. Where this could potentially be a problem is with shedding."

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

"text": "Quick Facts Polio Poliomyelitis, commonly called polio, is an infection caused by a virus that multiplies in the gastrointestinal tract. There are three main serotypes of polio virus: PCV1, PCV2 and PCV3.. Polio is transmitted when the virus enters the mouth or nose and infects the throat and gastrointestinal tract. In about 95% of cases, polio infection is subclinical and does not cause symptoms. In 4-5% of cases there may be minor symptoms, such as sore throat, low grade fever, headache, fatigue and nausea followed by stiff neck, meningitis (brain inflammation) and temporary paralysis of an arm or leg but there is full recovery within a few weeks. In less than 1% of cases, the polio virus infects the central nervous system and paralyzes the muscles of the arms and legs or muscles needed for breathing and swallowing, which can lead to permanent paralysis or death. Some adults, who appear to have fully recovered from polio as children, have developed post-polio syndrome (PPS) and experience weakness and pain in muscles and joints. The live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) can cause vaccine strain polio in the vaccinated person or can cause vaccine strain polio in a person, who comes in contact with a recently vaccinated person’s body fluids (urine, stool, saliva) because the vaccine strain polio virus is shed for several weeks after vaccination. Vaccine strain polio can cause mild or severe and permanent paralysis similar to the paralysis caused by wild type polio. As of 1999, use of OPV was discontinued in the U. S. and replaced with inactivated, injectable polio vaccine, which cannot cause vaccine strain polio. However, OPV is used widely in annual polio vaccine campaigns targeting children in parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East."

Description There are three known types of polioviruses (called 1,2, and 3), each causing a different strain of the disease and all are members of the viral family of enteroviruses (viruses that infect thegastrointestinal tract). Type 1 is the cause of epidemics and many cases of paralysis, which is the most severe manifestation of the infection. The virus is usually a harmless parasite of humanbeings. Some statistics quote one in 200 infections as leading to paralysis while others statethat one in 1,000 cases reach the central nervous system (CNS). When it does reach the CNS,inflammation and destruction of the spinal cord motor cells (anterior horn cells) occurs, whichprevents them from sending out impulses to muscles. This causes the muscles to become limp or soft and they cannot contract. This is referred to as flaccid paralysis and is the type found in polio."

The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main façade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house. Queen Victoria died at Osborne House in January 1901. Following her death, the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state with a few rooms retained as a private royal museum dedicated to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. Today it is fully open to the public.

Last Results 1 to 20 of 63Sun Holidays / 9.50 hols a warning Thread Tools04-01-09, 18:53 #1vicky s (148)Member Join Date Sep 2008Posts 119Sun Holidays / 9.50 hols a warning Just thought I'd leave a little note here just warning any first time sun holiday makers of what to expect of some holiday parks. For 4 years I've worked for Park Resorts holidays in UK and know that the Sun offer a lot of \"\"cheap\"\" holidays to their parks. If you are going on the 9.50 hol please make sure you ask for the bigger parks and not the smaller ones on the options sheet. I have worked on the smaller parks and during school term time (which is when the sun hols run) the entertainment venues may be closed or onyl have 2 or 3 people in them which means there will not be the sort of entertainment that would usually run at weekends or in school holidays. Please also check the brochures individual park descriptions of facilities etc, don't just go on what it says in the Sun or what it says at the front of the brochure as many people turn up with the wrong impression. Not all of the park have under 5s facilities and not all of them have entertainment all season long - some just in the half-term holidays etc. I've had no end of stick from guests who have turned up expecting cabaret every night and a creche for their kids so please check the brochure carefully to avoid disappointment. The bigger parks are usually busy and have activities on all season long, so they're the ones to go for. Also expect your \"\"cheap\"\" holiday not to be so cheap once you arrive! You will have to pay extra to use the entertainment venues and some of the facilities."

Large amounts of dragonglass can be found on Dragonstone island. [ 1]Dragonglass was a very important tool to the Children of the Forest, using it to fashion weapons. A long-forgotten secret is that the Children actually created the White Walkers as a weapon, by transforming humans into them: this was achieved in a magic ceremony that involved (among other things) plunging a dragonglass shard into a human's chest.

David is no stranger to playing historical characters, having previously starred in The White Queen and The Living and the Dead. He gave us some insight into his experiences filming the series, his personal connection to Queen Victoria and shares memories of visiting her summer home, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Where David’s love of history started – visiting Osborne and the impact of Queen Victoria Back in 1995 when I was 11, I went on an adventure (read: school trip) to the Isle of Wight. Part history project and part reward for completing primary school, we spent a week seeking out Isle’s treasures. The Needles, odd coloured sand, a donkey called Josephine… and a couple of amazing and unique historical buildings, which are the jewels in the Isle of Wight’s crown. There are still donkeys at Carisbrooke Castle. Their names traditionally all begin with J because it’s the letter that Charles I used to sign his letters when he was planning his escape routes. Apart from Josephine, Carisbrooke Castle is perhaps most famous for housing Charles I. He was in prison there for 14 months prior to his execution. Two hundred years later, the island gained another royal inhabitant – this time out of choice!Osborne House was Queen Victoria’s rather audacious holiday home."

As a resort, the town is noted for its expansive sands, which are revealed at low tide, making its pier necessary on the wide beach for a regular passenger ferry service.

[ 1] During the Mesolithic period, sea levels in northern Europe were some 30 to 40 metres lower than today, and the land that became Britain was a peninsula of northern Europe. [ 2] [3] The island was formed at the end of the last Ice Age, about 8–9000 years ago, as sea levels rose, and the land of southern Britain sunk due to the post-glacial rebound of the north that had been under the ice. [ 4] This flooded the former river valley of the Solent to the north, and the future English Channel to the south, and cut Wight off from the island of Britain. Once open to the sea, tidal scouring widened the Solent. [ 5]Early history [ edit]Prehistory [ edit]The first inhabitants are assumed to have been hunter-gatherers migrating by land during the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) period, as the ice age began to recede and the climate improved. The island has no visible Paleolithic or Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) sites, but flints from these periods have been found and are on display at Carisbrooke Castle. Neolithic [ edit]There are theories that, during the Neolithic era, Bouldnor was a seaport that traded with the Middle East, or that nomadic gatherers roamed over wider areas than previously thought, because wheat was present there 8,000 years ago, hundreds if not thousands of years before it is known to have been grown in northern Europe.

The island has more overseas visitors per year than it does residents – 2,467,909 visitors in 2010/11 with a population of only about 138,400. The Island has more sunshine hours than any other UK resort with on average 1800–2100 hours of sunshine per year, which is more than some areas of northern Spain. The Isle of Wight is said by some to be the most haunted Island in the world. The trains on the Ryde to Shanklin line are ex London Underground tube trains and were built around 1938 – making them older than some of the heritage steam engines on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

Options spreads that does the opposite of crediting your account with cash instead are known as \"\"Credit Spreads\"\"."

"text": "How to get yourself started with some courier work Posted by Tim Gilbert in Courier Operations Manual, Courier prices on Feb 15th, 2011 | 2 comments If you’re hoping to make a living as an owner-driver courier, the best way to start is to find work for a while with courier companies in your area. This page will help you know what they expect. Many courier companies are nervous about taking on beginners, so you need to set yourself up properly, to give yourself the best chance of getting work and getting earning. Courier companies need couriers like you to carry out the work, so it’s the obvious place to start. Once you have learned the ropes working for a single courier company as an owner driver, you can, if you want, go out and get courier work for more than one courier company. In the meantime, to get yourself started, you can find the contact details of courier companies throughout the UK, and especially your local ones, using the internet, or if you still have one, a copy of the Yellow Pages. Call them, and arrange to pop in to the local ones for a quick chat, and to show them your van and your documents, and above all, to let them get to know you. Don’t emphasise the fact that you’re “new”, rather that you’re “available”. “ New” is good for washing powder, but disastrous for couriers. Then phone up all the courier companies within 20 miles of you, and introduce yourself."

By Tanya Jefferies Published: 08:41 EDT, 5 September 2013 | Updated: 03:07 EDT, 6 September 20134View comments Shareholders don't like rights issues. Any company that gives its investors the unwelcome choice between stumping up more cash or seeing their existing holding diluted can expect to take a significant hit to its stock. Mere muttering in the City that a firm is pondering a cash call can severely undermine the share price. The management's motive for raising money by selling new shares - normally at a hefty discount to mollify investors - is very often another major cause for discontent. Reasons can be relatively benign, such as the wish to fund a promising takeover, but at the other end of the spectrum a company may need rescuing from the brink of financial collapse. Cash calls: Fundraisings are sufficiently unpopular with shareholders that company bosses don't undertake them lightly Firms can hold fundraisings via the easier and quicker route of a share placing, where they just approach their top institutional investors rather than asking all shareholders to put their hands in their pockets in a rights issue. However, cash calls tend to be sufficiently unpopular with any type of shareholder that company bosses don't undertake them lightly, or at all if possible, so investors can always assume they involve some kind of serious business.

"text": "Options Pricing Tweet Main Components of an Option's Premium An option’s premium has two main components: intrinsic value and time value. Intrinsic Value (Calls)A call option is in-the-money when the underlying security's price is higher than the strike price. Intrinsic Value (Puts)A put option is in-the-money if the underlying security's price is less than the strike price. Only in-the-money options have intrinsic value. It represents the difference between the current price of the underlying security and the option's exercise price, or strike price. Time Value Time value is any premium in excess of intrinsic value before expiration. Time value is often explained as the amount an investor is willing to pay for an option above its intrinsic value. This amount reflects hope that the option’s value increases before expiration due to a favorable change in the underlying security’s price. The longer the amount of time available for market conditions to work to an investor's benefit, the greater the time value. Major Factors Influencing Options Premium Factors having a significant effect on options premium include: Underlying price Strike Time until expiration Implied volatility Dividends Interest rate Dividends and risk-free interest rate have a lesser effect."

By CJones - 02/01/2018WARRENTON, VIRGINIA -- We had a house built in 2005, and the builder had Amerigas install the underground tank and we setup an account with them. A few years ago I started looking into the prices they were charging versus reputable competitors in our area, and found that their prices are way over other companies providing the same services. We started looking into purchasing our tank, but they would always give us a better price whenever I brought it up to their manager. Even then, the adjusted price was always significantly above all competitors. This year we have had enough, and finally purchased the tank. Problem was we needed gas fairly quick, and the new company has to come out to do a system safety check before they will deliver. So we had to bite the bullet one more time and order a minimum amount from Amerigas. When I asked the price, it was $2 over the competitor's price! I do not understand how Amerigas stays in business, other than through customers who don't bother to check what the market value price for propane is in their area."

March 23 2011 - Parkton 0Email Share on Facebook Tweet Get email alerts RSSClosed Answers ( 26)Sort by: So Cal Engr At the end of the day, agents are trying to get buyers into the best home that fits their means. If the target price of a home is a $10,000 difference, it's only $30-$40 dollar difference in monthly loan payment, but that difference can greatly expand the homes available to the buyer without condition issues. At the end of the day, REAs are trying to close a transaction. It is the consumer's decision (or, \"\"should be\"\") as to what \"\"fits their means\"\". A wise consumer will establish an upper limit on their budget, and shop in a range that leaves some buffer room. My personal experience is that if I tell a REA \"\"my upper limit is X\"\", then all of the properties tend to be at X, or just a little above. When a buyer limits what they are really approved for, they can run into problem with what's available for them. When a buyer limits what they are really approved for, they are taking control over their transaction, and working to keep that transaction within their budget."

Preferred Stocks Basics Corporations issue preferred stocks to raise cash. Although you buy or sell them the same way you trade regular stocks, preferreds are more like bonds than common stocks. Investors buy them for the steady dividends, which typically equate to 4% to 8% yields. Most preferreds pay dividends quarterly. Unlike common stocks, you’re won’t enjoy much share price appreciation if your company comes up with a hot product. Further, in most cases, the dividend never goes up either. The term “preferred” means that a firm must pay the dividends due on its preferred shares before it pays any common stock dividends. Also, in theory, if a company goes bankrupt, preferred holders have priority over common stock shareholders. However, when a company fails, both common and preferred shareholders usually get nothing."

In fact, the number of options contracts traded has quadrupled over the past 10 years. More and more investors are using options in their trading as a smart way to beat the market. And it's easy to see why. Advantages Most people know that options afford the investor many advantages, not the least of which is a guaranteed limited risk when buying calls and puts. And you can also get a great deal of leverage while using only a fraction of the money you would normally have to put up to get into the actual stocks themselves. But those are just some of the advantages of options. Flexibility The real advantage with options is the opportunity to make money if a stock goes up, down, and depending on your strategy, even sideways. In fact, with some strategies you can even be wrong on the underlying stock's direction and still profit. Simply identifying a range is all you need to win."

"text": "The primary function of the lymph nodes is to fight pathogens, as they are a key part of the immune system. They accomplish this by several means, including removing foreign particles from the body, creating anti-bodies, producing lymphocytes and housing cell-eating cells known as macrophages. They are spread throughout the body and are connected by channels known as lymph vessels. Lymph nodes are very small and shaped like a bean. Although they are spread throughout the body, they are mainly located in the areas of the neck, armpit, groin and chest. The nodes are connected by the lymph vessels, which are pathways that carry lymph through the body. Lymph is responsible for recirculating protein and excess fluid as well as carrying bacteria to the lymph nodes to be destroyed. Arguably the most important function of lymph nodes is the production of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are specialized white cells of which there are three kinds: T cells, B cells and natural killer cells. All of these cells contribute to the immune system by attacking and destroying other cells and, in the case of the T and B cells, building further immunity by creating antibodies."

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

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In medicine, lung cancer staging is the assessment of the extent to which a lung cancer has spread from its original source. As with most cancers, staging is an important determinant of treatment and prognosis. In general, more advanced stages of cancer are less amenable to treatment and have a worse prognosis. The initial evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer staging uses the TNM classification. This is based on the size of the primary t umor, lymph n ode involvement, and distant m etastasis. After this, using the TNM descriptors, a group is assigned, ranging from occult cancer, through stage 0, IA (one-A), IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB to IV (four). This stage group assists with the choice of treatment and estimate of prognosis. There are several methods by which this assessment is made. They are broadly classified into non-invasive techniques, which generally involve medical imaging of the lungs such as computer tomography (CT) scans and PET scans, and invasive techniques such as biopsy and surgery. Invasive techniques provide additional information because tissue samples can be seen microscopically to confirm presence of cancer cells (as opposed to enlargement of tissues due to other causes such as infection) and to determine the type of lung cancer and its grade."

Resecting a part or all of the tongue presents a wide array of challenges that require the surgeon to avoid, limit, or restore the severe functional impairments to gustation, mastication, deglutition, and phonation. This purpose of this chapter is to review the embryology, anatomy, and the most common malignancy of the tongue. The authors also address the clinical evaluation, surgeries and reconstructions, post-operative course, and prognosis of patients undergoing glossectomy. Embryology The tongue appears during the fourth week of development with the appearance of the tuberculum impar, a mesenchyme swelling in the floor of the primitive pharynx cranial to the foramen cecum. The anterior two-thirds of the tongue is formed from the two lateral swellings (derived from the first pharyngeal arch) that develop on either side of the tuberculum impar. These lingual buds fuse together and form the median sulcus of the tongue. The posterior one-third of the tongue arises from the hypobranchial eminence overgrowth of the copula. The copula is formed by the ventromedial parts of the second pharyngeal arch and the cranial part of the third pharyngeal arch. The hypobranchial eminence is formed by the ventromedial parts of the third and fourth pharyngeal arches."

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

"text": "Lymph, pale fluid that bathes the tissues of an organism, maintaining fluid balance, and removes bacteria from tissues; it enters the blood system by way of lymphatic channels and ducts. Prominent among the constituents of lymph are lymphocytes and macrophages, the primary cells of the immune system with which the body defends itself from invasion by foreign microorganisms. Lymph is conveyed from the tissues to the venous bloodstream via the lymphatic vessels. On the way, it is filtered through the lymphatic organs (spleen and thymus) and lymph nodes. Pressure within the walls of lymph vessels is lower than that in blood vessels. Lymph flows more slowly than blood. The cell walls of lymph vessels are more permeable than those of the capillary walls of blood vessels. Thus, proteins that may have been delivered to the tissues by the bloodstream but that are too big to reenter the capillaries, along with waste products and large proteins synthesized in the local tissue cells, enter the lymphatic vessels for return to the bloodstream. The lymphatic vessels of vertebrates generally empty into the bloodstream near the location at which the cardinal veins enter the heart. In mammals, lymph enters the bloodstream at the subclavian vein, via the thoracic duct."

Description Melanocytes are derived from a structure in the human embryo called the neural crest. They aredistributed in the epidermis and thus are found throughout the skin. They produce a brownpigment known as melanin and are responsible for racial variation in skin color as well as thecolor of moles. Malignant degeneration of the melanocyte gives rise to the tumor known as melanoma, which has four subtypes.

"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."

Its functions are closely linked to the functions of the body’s primary circulatory system, the blood circulation. Organs and cells of the lymphatic system play an integral role in supporting the immune system, which is a functional system consisting of cells (e.g. blood cells which fight infection) and molecules (e.g. antibodies which protect against particular diseases). Unlike other body systems the immune system has no organs. The lymphatic and blood circulation system are closely linked but they function quite differently. The blood system is a closed circulation system (blood is pumped through it but cannot pass out of it) which is bi-direction (blood flows two ways, away from and towards the heart ). It is regulated by a central organ, the heart, which beats and causes blood to be pumped through the blood circulatory system. The lymphatic system is a one-way circulatory system (lymph always travels in one direction, towards the heart). It lacks a central pumping mechanism like the heart; instead, contractions of the lymph vessels push lymph through the system. The name is derived from the Latin lymphatics, meaning absorbent, since the lymphatic system functions to absorb, and return to blood circulation, fluids which have leaked from the blood vessels to interstitial spaces (spaces between cells)."

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

B cells origin and maturation takes place in bone marrow. Each B cell has a unique surface receptor which is an antibody molecule. Later on activation this B cell produces the same antibody. A B-cell that has not interacted with an antigen is called naïve B-cells. Humoral Immunity Pathway one: Step 1: When a naïve B cell interacts with an antigen specific for its surface antibody, it gets activated and starts dividing rapidly. The process is called clonal selection. The phenomenon of selective proliferation of B cells in response to their interaction with the antigen is called clonal selection. Step 2: Remember, B cell activation and proliferation depends on the cytokinins secreted by T H cells."

Supplemental Materials Genes Associated with CVID: One Diagnosis to Rule Them All? - Article in Journal of Medical Genetics, June 2016Loss of B Cells in Patients with Heterozygous Mutations in IKAROSClinical picture and treatment of 2212 patients with common variable immunodeficiency How I Treat Common Variable Immune Deficiency Overview of Common Variable Immune Deficiency Compared to other human immune defects, CVID is a relatively frequent form of primary immunodeficiency, found in about 1 in 25,000 persons; this is the reason it is called “common.” The degree and type of deficiency of serum immunoglobulins, and the clinical course, varies from patient to patient, hence, the word “variable.” In some patients, there is a decrease in both Ig G and Ig A; in others, all three major types of immunoglobulins (Ig G, Ig A and Ig M) are decreased. In still others there are defects of the T-cells, and this may also contribute to increased susceptibility to infections as well as autoimmunity, granulomata and tumors. To be sure that CVID is the correct diagnosis, there must be evidence of a lack of functional antibodies and other possible causes of these immunologic abnormalities must be excluded. Frequent and/or unusual infections may first occur during early childhood, adolescence or adult life. Patients with CVID also have an increased incidence of autoimmune or inflammatory manifestations, granulomata and an increased susceptibility to cancer when compared to the general population."

Listenen español El sistema inmunitario Whether you're stomping through the showers in your bare feet after gym class or touching the bathroom doorknob, you're being exposed to germs. Fortunately for most of us, the immune system is constantly on call to do battle with bugs that could put us out of commission. What the Immune System Does The immune (pronounced: ih-MYOON) system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes, problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection. The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause disease. The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. About Cells The cells that are part of this defense system include white blood cells, also called leukocytes (pronounced: LOO-kuh-sytes)."

"text": "\"We all know the feeling whether it’s your hands trembling as you flip through a blank exam or trouble sleeping while you worry about approaching deadlines. Stress is an inevitable aspect of life through college and beyond. While everyone understands the symptoms of the stress response, few know the underlying physiological mechanisms. When we probe beneath the surface of our anxiety, an elegant balance of stimuli and responses emerges. This paper will present a broad discussion of stress: how stress is defined, the chemistry and physiology underlying it at the cellular level, and the micro and macro level consequences of the stress response. Defining Stress Understanding the biochemical interactions that constitute the stress response requires a definition of stress. In the realm of biology, stress refers to what happens when an organism fails to respond appropriately to threats (1). While the “threats” humans face today often take more benign forms compared to those our hunter-gatherer ancestors faced, they can be equally taxing on our bodies. Some stress, of course, can be beneficial. The pressure it exerts can be an incentive to accomplish necessary goals."

Immunodeficiency diseases fall into two broad categories: primary and secondary. Most cases of primary immunodeficiency occur in infants or children as a result of genetic abnormalities.

Those that do so are called pathogens or pathogenic organisms. Our bodies have a number of defences to protect us against invasion by pathogens. These defences can be either non-specific or specific. Non Specific: Works against all pathogens. Specific: Works against one particular pathogen. Once passed all non-specific defences such as the skin and mucous membranes and patrolling phagocytes and granulocytes, the infectious agent must finally confront the specific defences that are present within the body. Lymphocytes: Cells that are involved in both non-specific and specific defence. About 20 to 30% of the white cells in the blood are lymphocytes.

It relies on recognition systems (receptors) that were selected during phylogeny and which in part are shared with non-vertebrate organisms. Receptors of innate immunity are encoded within the germ-line and do not undergo somatic recombination. Humoral as well as cellular mechanisms are involved, which interact at multiple levels and are expressed on immune and non-immune cells to ensure an appropriate and efficient defense response. Innate and adaptive immunity are interconnected. Activation of innate immune cells is a necessary prerequisite for induction of adaptive immune responses. Multiple effector mechanisms of adaptive immunity ultimately rely on the clearance function of innate immune cells. Moreover, the products of the adaptive immune system will enhance the efficacy of innate immune responses. Thus, in vertebrates, innate and adaptive immunity act in a well-tuned concert to ascertain an effective antipathogen response. Previous chapter Next chapter1."

Organization and Development of the Immune System The immune system is a wonderful collaboration between cells and proteins that work together to provide defense against infection. These cells and proteins do not form a single organ like the heart or liver. Instead, the immune system is dispersed throughout the body to provide rapid responses to infection ( Figure 1 ). Cells travel through the bloodstream or in specialized vessels called lymphatics. Lymph nodes and the spleen provide structures that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The bone marrow and thymus represent training grounds for two cells of the immune system (B-cells and T-cells, respectively). The development of all cells of the immune system begins in the bone marrow with a hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell ( Figure 2 ). This cell is called a “stem” cell because all the other specialized cells arise from it."

Those components are molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and chemical mediators. The chief molecules are surface markers and receptors which recognize antigens and respond to mediators. The main cells of the immune system are various types of white blood cells. They all originate in the bone marrow but develop into more specialized cells in other lymphoid organs and tissues.

This section will focus on B cells and discuss their production and maturation, receptors, and mechanisms of activation. B Cell Production and Maturation Like T cells, B cells are formed from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow and follow a pathway through lymphoid stem cell and lymphoblast (see Figure 1 in Cellular Defenses ). Unlike T cells, however, lymphoblasts destined to become B cells do not leave the bone marrow and travel to the thymus for maturation. Rather, eventual B cells continue to mature in the bone marrow. The first step of B cell maturation is an assessment of the functionality of their antigen-binding receptors. This occurs through positive selection for B cells with normal functional receptors. A mechanism of negative selection is then used to eliminate self-reacting B cells and minimize the risk of autoimmunity. Negative selection of self-reacting B cells can involve elimination by apoptosis, editing or modification of the receptors so they are no longer self-reactive, or induction of anergy in the B cell. Immature B cells that pass the selection in the bone marrow then travel to the spleen for their final stages of maturation."

The name derives from the city of Weimar where a national assembly convened to write and adopt a new constitution which became effective on August 11, 1919. The official German name was the Deutsches Reich (\"\"German Reich \"\") which was also the official name of the preceding German Empire and initially also the official name of National Socialist Germany.

There have been several instances of Communist states with functioning political participation processes involving several other non-party organisations, such as trade unions, factory committees and direct democratic participation. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The term \"\"Communist state\"\" is used by Western historians, political scientists and media to refer to these countries. However, contrary to Western usage, these states do not describe themselves as \"\"communist\"\" nor do they claim to have achieved communism—they refer to themselves as socialist states or workers' states that are in the process of constructing socialism. [ 6] [7] [8] [9] Communist states can be administered by a single, centralised party apparatus, although countries such as North Korea have several parties. These parties usually are Marxist–Leninist or some variation thereof (including Maoism in China and Juche in North Korea), with the official aim of achieving socialism and progressing toward communism. These states are usually termed by Marxists as dictatorships of the proletariat, or dictatorships of the working class, whereby the working class is the ruling class of the country, in contrast to capitalism, whereby the bourgeoisie is the ruling class."

The idea that a proletarian revolution is needed is a cornerstone of Marxism; Marxists believe that the workers of the world must unite and free themselves from capitalist oppression to create a world run by and for the working class. Thus, in the Marxist view, proletarian revolutions need to happen in countries all over the world. Leninism argues [1] that a communist revolution must be led by a vanguard of \"\" professional revolutionaries \"\", men and women who are fully dedicated to the communist cause and who can then form the nucleus of the revolutionary movement. Some Marxists [ who?] disagree with the idea of a vanguard as put forth by Lenin, especially left communists. Some who continue to consider themselves Marxist–Leninists [ who?] also oppose the vanguard despite disagreeing with the majority of left communism. [ 2] These critics insist that the entire working class—or at least a large part of it—must be deeply involved and equally committed to the socialist or communist cause in order for a proletarian revolution to be successful. To this end, they seek to build massive communist parties with very large memberships."

"text": "Brief History of the Second Spanish Republic The Foundation of the Second Spanish Republic The Second Republic was formed on April 14, 1931 after local elections returned anti-monarchist representatives in most cities and large towns. Although much of rural Spain elected pro-monarchist politicians, everyone, including King Alfonso XIII, knew that local caciques (local town bosses) controlled the vote. Realizing his perilous position King Alfonso XIII went quietly into exile leaving Spain a republic for the first time since 1874. Although the Second Republic was greeted with much popular enthusiasm, significant segments of society were wary of the new regime. On the right, many members of the army and the Catholic Church feared that the Republic would curtail their authority, by placing political power in civilian hands and introducing secular education. Supporters of both King Alfonso XIII and the rival Carlist claimant to the throne, Don Jaime (and after his death in October 1931, Don Alfonso Carlos) were fundamentally opposed to the concept of a Republic. Many rich landowners also opposed the Republic for fear of social changes it might try to implement. On the left the Republic received broad support, with the notable exceptions of the anarchos-yndicalist union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo ( CNT) and the Federación Anarquista Ibérica ( FAI ). The Republic therefore emerged with hostile factions on both the right and the extreme left. Worse still, the supporters of the Republic were divided between middle class Republicans who wanted to create a more modern liberal capitalist regime, and Socialists of the Partido Socialista Obrero Español ( PSOE ), many of whose supporters expected radical changes, especially land redistribution, from the Republic."

All countries that did not claim to be socialist are excluded, even in cases where those countries were considered socialist by certain outside observers. The majority of self-declared socialist countries have been Marxist–Leninist states inspired by the example of the Soviet Union. They share a common definition of \"\"socialism\"\" and they refer to themselves as socialist states on the road to communism. For this reason, they are generally called \"\" communist states \"\" by Western sources. Meanwhile, the countries in the Non-Marxist–Leninist category represent a wide variety of different interpretations of the word \"\"socialism.\"\" In many cases, they do not define what they mean by it.

Overthrowing the pre-existing Provisional Government, the Bolsheviks established a new administration, the Council of People's Commissars (\"\"Sovnarkom\"\"), with Lenin appointed as its governing chairman. Ruling by decree, Lenin’s Sovnarkom introduced widespread reforms confiscating land for redistribution among the peasantry, permitting non-Russian nations to declare themselves independent, improving labour rights, and increasing access to education. The party continued with the previously scheduled November 1917 election, but when it produced a Constituent Assembly dominated by the rival Socialist Revolutionary Party the Bolsheviks lambasted it as counter-revolutionary and shut it down. The Bolshevik government banned a number of centrist and right-wing parties, and restricted the activities of rival socialist groups, but entered into a governmental coalition with the Left Socialist Revolutionary Party. Lenin had inherited a country in the midst of the First World War, with war-weary Russian troops battling the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary on the Eastern Front. Deeming the ongoing conflict a threat to his own government, Lenin sought to withdraw Russia from the war, using his Decree on Peace to establish an armistice, after which negotiations took place resulting in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. This punitive treaty – highly unpopular within Russia – established a cessation of hostilities but granted considerable territorial concessions to Germany, who took control of large areas of the former Empire.

After World War II, emigration restrictions were imposed by countries in the Eastern Bloc, which consisted of the Soviet Union and its satellite states in Central and Eastern Europe. Legal emigration was in most cases only possible in order to reunite families or to allow members of minority ethnic groups to return to their homelands. Eastern Bloc governments argued that strict limits to emigration were necessary to prevent a brain drain. The United States and Western European governments argued that they represented a violation of human rights. Despite the restrictions, defections to the West occurred. After East Germany tightened its zonal occupation border with West Germany, the city sector border between East Berlin and West Berlin became a loophole through which defection could occur. This was closed with the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Thereafter, emigration from the Eastern Bloc was effectively limited to illegal defections, ethnic emigration under bilateral agreements, and a small number of other cases.

It is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993, but, as a result of an ongoing dispute with Greece over the use of the name \"\"Macedonia\"\", was admitted under the provisional description the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia [10] [11] (sometimes abbreviated as FYROM and FYR Macedonia ), a term that is also used by international organizations such as the European Union, [12] the Council of Europe, [13] and NATO. [ 14]A landlocked country, the Republic of Macedonia has borders with Kosovo [a] to the northwest, Serbia to the north, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, and Albania to the west. [ 15] It constitutes approximately the northwestern third of the larger geographical region of Macedonia, which also comprises the neighbouring parts of northern Greece and smaller portions of southwestern Bulgaria and southeastern Albania. The country's geography is defined primarily by mountains, valleys, and rivers."

The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited. It is a form of government under which the head of state is not a monarch. [ 1] [2] [3]In American English, the definition of a republic refers specifically to a form of government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body [2] and exercise power according to the rule of law under a constitution, including separation of powers with an elected head of state, referred to as a constitutional republic [4] [5] [6] [7] or representative democracy.

While heads-of-state often tend to claim that they rule only by the \"\"consent of the governed\"\", elections in some countries have been found to be held more for the purpose of \"\"show\"\" than for the actual purpose of in reality providing citizens with any genuine ability to choose their own leaders.

Thin coatings of cyanobacteria existed on land about 1.2 billion years ago. About 500 million years ago, plants, fungi, and animals joined them. More than 290,000 species of plants inhabit Earth today. Most plants live in terrestrial environments, including deserts, grasslands, and forests. Some species, such as sea grasses, have returned to aquatic habitats. The presence of plants has enabled other organisms to survive on land. Plant roots have created habitats for other organisms by stabilizing landscapes. Plants are the source of oxygen and the ultimate provider of food for land animals.

They originate as products of photosynthesis, an endothermic reductive condensation of carbon dioxide requiring light energy and the pigment chlorophyll. Carbohydrates consist of starch, sugars and some related substances such as sugar alcohols and organic acids. Carbohydrates are carbon compounds that contain large quantities of hydroxyl groups. The simplest carbohydrates also contain either an aldehyde moiety (polyhydroxyaldehydes) or a ketone moiety (polyhydroxyketones). All carbohydrates can be classified as either monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that act as the primary biological means of storing or consuming energy, other forms being fat and protein. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for all body functions and are necessary for the assimilation of other nutrients. The primary function of carbohydrates is for short-term energy storage."

Carbohydrates are truly hydrates of carbon because the ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is always nearly 2:1, as in H 2 O. They also have many functions. Most of the energy you receive comes from the carbohydrates that you eat. Plants make carbohydrates such as wheat, corn, and potatoes. Carbohydrates are normally consumed by animals either by eating the plant that manufactured it or by eating other animals. Humans also receive carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits, vegetables, milk, candy, soft drinks, and pasta. Insects manufacture the carbohydrate chitin as a tough exoskeleton for protection, and lobsters and crabs use chitin for their shells. Finally, cellulose is probably the most widely used carbohydrate compound, comprising wood and wood products, such as paper.

While too much dietary sugar poses a number of health risks, the simple sugar glucose serves a critical role in the human body. Glucose serves a primary fuel to generate energy that the body's cells use to carry out their metabolic and biological functions. Glucose is particularly important for the brain, red blood cells and muscle cells during exercise. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Biological Fuel Source The primary function of glucose is to serve as a biological fuel source for the body. All cells of the body are capable of using glucose to generate energy. Through a series of complex biochemical reactions, the breakdown of glucose yields high-energy molecules called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP molecules then provide the energy to drive the cellular activities that ultimately keep the body functioning. While many types of body cells can use nutrients other than glucose to generate energy, some rely exclusively or almost exclusively on glucose. Glucose-Dependent Cells Brain and nerve cells normally rely exclusively on glucose as their fuel source."

"text": "\"Front End Journal Javascript ES6: Learn important features in a few minutes18 Feb 2014 on javascript | es6 | ECMAScript6 | harmony The next-generation of javascript also known as ECMAScript 6 (also called ES6 or Harmony), is bringing us lots of amazing features that you probably will need to know. But instead of you spend too much time learning and researching all of the features I separated a few that I felt are the ones you'll be probably using in your daily basis. Don't worry if you are new to javascript or you're coming from a server-side language, I believe this is the best time to learn it as ES6 has a much cleaner and friendlier syntax, known as sugar syntax. Sugar Syntax First of all, Syntactic Sugar is a syntax that make a language easier to understand and more readable, it makes the language \"\"sweeter\"\" for us. It also means that some \"\"new\"\" features of ES6 are not really new because ES6 is trying to simplify the syntax to make things easier for us. So instead of writing the your code using the old tricky way, you'll be able to code in a the simpler way, with sugar syntax. Look below the sugar syntax in action to create a class in Javascript. Classes Always remember: Javascript does not support classes like other Object-Oriented languages. Instead, Javascript can simulate classes using functions and prototype. Below is the new syntax to create classes."

Monosaccharides are often represented by a Fischer Projection, a shorthand notation particularly useful for showing stereochemistry in straight chained organic compounds. The L and D confirmations represent the absolute configuration of the asymmetric carbon farthest away from the ketone or aldehyde group on the monosaccharide.

They can be gases as, propane, they can be liquids, for example, benzene, or they can be low-melting solids and waxes, for example, polystyrene. There are four classifications of hydrocarbons; saturated hydrocarbons or alkanes, unsaturated hydrocarbons or alkenes and alkynes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons or arenes. Alkanes Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which mean they are compounds with a single bond between the atoms. Saturated hydrocarbons are saturated with hydrogen and are the simplest. They are represented in general as Cn H2n+2 in case of non-cyclic structures or straight-chain structures. They are also called paraffins. In alkanes, there are four bonds for each carbon atom; it could be either C-H or C-C bond. Each hydrogen atom has to be bonded with a carbon atom."

"text": "\"Chapter 13 Unsaturated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons Opening Essay Our modern society is based to a large degree on the chemicals we discuss in this chapter. Most are made from petroleum. In Chapter 12 \"\"Organic Chemistry: Alkanes and Halogenated Hydrocarbons\"\" we noted that alkanes—saturated hydrocarbons—have relatively few important chemical properties other than that they undergo combustion and react with halogens. Unsaturated hydrocarbons—hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds—on the other hand, are quite reactive. In fact, they serve as building blocks for many familiar plastics—polyethylene, vinyl plastics, acrylics—and other important synthetic materials (e.g., alcohols, antifreeze, and detergents). Aromatic hydrocarbons have formulas that can be drawn as cyclic alkenes, making them appear unsaturated, but their structure and properties are generally quite different, so they are not considered to be alkenes. Aromatic compounds serve as the basis for many drugs, antiseptics, explosives, solvents, and plastics (e.g., polyesters and polystyrene). The two simplest unsaturated compounds—ethylene (ethene) and acetylene (ethyne)—were once used as anesthetics and were introduced to the medical field in 1924. However, it was discovered that acetylene forms explosive mixtures with air, so its medical use was abandoned in 1925. Ethylene was thought to be safer, but it too was implicated in numerous lethal fires and explosions during anesthesia."

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

The smallest hydrocarbon, methane, is composed of a single carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. However, hydrocarbons can literally consist of hundreds or thousands of individual atoms that are linked together in any number of ways, including chains, circles, and other complex shapes. Properties Because the structure of different hydrocarbons can vary so drastically, the properties of each class of molecule vary greatly as well. In order to help categorize the properties of hydrocarbons, they are broken up into several basic types. Alkanes – These are referred to as saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated has a specific definition in terms of carbon-based molecules. Carbon can form up to four separate bonds with four separate other atoms. However, it is also possible for carbon to form multiple bonds with a single atom, even another carbon atom."

In contrast, aliphatic hydrocarbons lack this delocalization.

Organic Moleculesand Hydrocarbons You may recall that atoms can be held together by covalent bonds, which are chemical bonds between atoms that share an electron pair. Organic molecules are molecules that contain carbon atoms, which are covalently bonded together. This category of molecules includes gasoline, sugar, proteins, and everything in between. Many of these molecules contain other types of atoms as well, but today we're going to focus on molecules that consist of the two most common atoms in organic chemistry: carbon and hydrogen. Carbon and hydrogen can come together in different ways and can form many, many distinct molecules, which are collectively called hydrocarbons."

"text": "\"Environment How is methane obtained, made, found, used?2 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Methane is a significant and plentiful fuel which is the principal component of natural gas. Burning one molecule of methane in the presence of oxygen releases one molecule of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and two molecules of H2O: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O SOURCES OF METHANE Natural gas fields: The major source of methane is extraction from geological deposits known as natural gas fields. It is associated with other hydrocarbon fuels and sometimes accompanied by helium and nitrogen. The gas at shallow levels (low pressure) is formed by anaerobic decay of organic matter and reworked methane from deep under the Earth's surface. In general, sediments buried deeper and at higher temperatures than those which give oil generate natural gas. Alternative sources Apart from gas fields an alternative method of obtaining methane is via biogas generated by the fermentation of organic matter including manure, wastewater sludge, municipal solid waste, or any other biodegradable feedstock, under anaerobic conditions. Methane hydrates/clathrates (icelike combinations of methane and water on the seafloor, found in vast quantities) are a potential future source of methane. Significant quantities are also produced by cattle -- not by flatulence, as in common myth, but 95% through belching [2] [3]. The livestock sector in general (primarily cattle, chickens, and pigs) produces 37% of all human-induced methane\"\" [4]. Industrially, methane can be created from common atmospheric gases and hydrogen (produced, perhaps, by electrolysis) through chemical reactions such as the Sabatier process, Fischer-Tropsch process. Coal bed methane extraction is a method for extracting methane from a coal deposit. USES Fuel For more on the use of methane as a fuel, see: natural gas Methane is important for electrical generation by burning it as a fuel in a gas turbine or steam boiler."

F. Skinner 's behaviorism. [ 1] With its roots running from Socrates through the Renaissance, this approach emphasizes individuals' inherent drive towards self-actualization, the process of realizing and expressing one's own capabilities and creativity. It helps the client gain the belief that all people are inherently good. [ 2] It adopts a holistic approach to human existence and pays special attention to such phenomena as creativity, free will, and positive human potential. It encourages viewing ourselves as a \"\"whole person\"\" greater than the sum of our parts and encourages self exploration rather than the study of behavior in other people. Humanistic psychology acknowledges spiritual aspiration as an integral part of the psyche. It is linked to the emerging field of transpersonal psychology. [ 3] [4]Primarily, this type of therapy encourages a self-awareness and mindfulness that helps the client change their state of mind and behaviour from one set of reactions to a healthier one with more productive self-awareness and thoughtful actions. Essentially, this approach allows the merging of mindfulness and behavioural therapy, with positive social support. In an article from the Association for Humanistic Psychology, the benefits of humanistic therapy are described as having a \"\"crucial opportunity to lead our troubled culture back to its own healthy path."

"text": "\"Humanistic View & Methods The Humanistic View of Human Behavior Humanistic psychology is a value orientation that holds a hopeful, constructive view of human beings and of their substantial capacity to be self-determining. It is guided by a conviction that intentionality and ethical values are strong psychological forces, among the basic determinants of human behavior. This conviction leads to an effort to enhance such distinctly human qualities as choice, creativity, the interaction of the body, mind and spirit, and the capacity to become more aware, free, responsible, life-affirming and trustworthy. Humanistic psychology acknowledges that the mind is strongly influenced by determining forces in society and in the unconscious, and that some of these are negative and destructive. Humanistic psychology nevertheless emphasizes the independent dignity and worth of human beings and their conscious capacity to develop personal competence and self respect. This value orientation has led to the development of therapies to facilitate personal and interpersonal skills and to enhance the quality of life. Since there is much difficulty involved in inner growth, humanistic psychologists often stress the importance of courageously learning to take responsibility for oneself as one confronts personal transitions. The difficulty of encouraging personal growth is matched by the difficulty of developing appropriate institutional and organizational environments in which human beings can flourish. Clearly, societies both help and hinder human growth. Because nourishing environments can make an important contribution to the development of healthy personalities, human needs should be given priority when fashioning social policies. ,"

Most therapists learn about and receive training in several approaches and specialize later in their professional development. This training interacts with the therapist's personality and the cultural and professional environment within which he or she practices to determine that unique style that develops. Still, there are a number of recognized approaches with new ones developed all the time. Most new approaches add a small amount that is truly new while expanding on existing approaches or combining elements of several approaches. Most approaches therefore have considerable overlap in theory and practice. There is also a school of thought, with some research to back it up, that there are common elements in all effective therapies that are responsible for the bulk of positive outcome.

He was the leading French Protestant Reformer and the most important figure in the second generation of the Protestant Reformation. His interpretation of Christianity, advanced above all in his Institutio Christianae religionis (1536 but elaborated in later editions; Institutes of the Christian Religion ), and the institutional and social patterns he worked out for Geneva deeply influenced Protestantism elsewhere in Europe and in North America. The Calvinist form of Protestantism is widely thought to have had a major impact on the formation of the modern world. This article deals with the man and his achievements. For a further treatment of Calvinism, see Calvinism and Protestantism. Life and works Calvin was of middle-class parents. His father, a lay administrator in the service of the local bishop, sent him to the University of Paris in 1523 to be educated for the priesthood but later decided that he should be a lawyer; from 1528 to 1531, therefore, Calvin studied in the law schools of Orléans and Bourges. He then returned to Paris. During these years he was also exposed to Renaissance humanism, influenced by Erasmus and Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples, which constituted the radical student movement of the time."

While it has humanized and revolutionized psychology with its emphasis on our conscious ability to choose and create, AHP is not just for psychologists. It's hard to hold on to humanistic ideals in a world so fearful, so violent and increasingly rigid. In this society driven by production and consumption, sometimes it may seem like you are the only one who is standing up for humanity. Throughout history many individuals and groups have affirmed the inherent value and dignity of human beings. They have spoken out against ideologies, beliefs and practices which held people to be merely the means for accomplishing economic and political ends. They have reminded their contemporaries that the purpose of institutions is to serve and advance the freedom and power of their members. In Western civilization we honor the times and places, such as Classical Greece and Europe of the Renaissance, when such affirmations were expressed. Humanistic Psychology is a contemporary manifestation of that ongoing commitment. Its message is a response to the denigration of the human spirit that has so often been implied in the image of the person drawn by behavioral and social sciences."

His theory contends that as humans meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow studied exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that \"\"the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy.\"\" ( Motivation and Personality, 1987)This diagram shows Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid with the more primitive needs at the bottom. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the four lower levels are grouped together as deficiency needs associated with physiological needs, while the top level is termed growth needs associated with psychological needs. While deficiency needs must be met, growth needs are continually shaping behaviour. The basic concept is that the higher needs in this hierarchy only come into focus once all the needs that are lower down in the pyramid are mainly or entirely satisfied. Growth forces create upward movement in the hierarchy, whereas regressive forces push prepotent needs further down the hierarchy. Contents [ show]Deficiency needs Edit The deficiency needs (also termed 'D-needs' by Maslow) are: Physiological needs Edit The physiological needs of the organism, those enabling homeostasis, take first precedence. These consist mainly of:the need to breathethe need to regulate homeostasisthe need to eatthe need to dispose of bodily wastes If some needs are unmet, a human's physiological needs take the highest priority."

He stressed the importance of focusing on the positive qualities in people, as opposed to treating them as a ‘bag of symptoms. Publisher Maurice Bassett has now released 29 hours of Abraham Maslow’s talks and workshops at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California, from the mid and late-1960s. Carl Rogers AHP Founder – Carl Rogers (January 8, 1902 – February 4, 1987) was an influential American psychologist and among the founders of the humanistic approach to psychology. Rogers is widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy research and was honored for his pioneering research with the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions by the American Psychological Association in 1956. The person-centered approach, his own unique approach to understanding personality and human relationships, found wide application in various domains such as psychotherapy and counseling (client-centered therapy), education (student-centered learning), organizations, and other group settings. For his professional work he was bestowed the Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Psychology by the APA in 1972. Towards the end of his life Carl Rogers was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with national intergroup conflict in South Africa and Northern Ireland. In an empirical study by Haggbloom et al. ( 2002) using six criteria such as citations and recognition, Rogers was found to be the sixth most eminent psychologist of the 20th century and second, among clinicians, only to Sigmund Freud."

[ 1] [2] [3] [4]Secular humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently evil or innately good, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. Fundamental to the concept of secular humanism is the strongly held viewpoint that ideology—be it religious or political—must be thoroughly examined by each individual and not simply accepted or rejected on faith. Along with this, an essential part of secular humanism is a continually adapting search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy. Many secular humanists derive their moral codes from a philosophy of utilitarianism, ethical naturalism, or evolutionary ethics, and some advocate a science of morality. The International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) is the world union of more than one hundred Humanist, rationalist, irreligious, atheistic, Bright, secular, Ethical Culture, and freethought organizations in more than 40 countries. The \"\" Happy Human \"\" is the official symbol of the IHEU as well as being regarded as a universally recognised symbol for those who call themselves Humanists.

He divided genetic aspects of personality into three factors namely introversion-extroversion, neuroticism and psychoticism in regard to individual personality as well as the individual specific disposition and character. Hans (2006) contends that the genetic composition of any individual is monumental to overrule other external influences as a major means in which people form their personality. Moreover, he affirms that unique environment and genes are quite imperative though shared environment is not usually that crucial. In analyzing as well as comparing the humanistic and biological approaches to personality one can result to difference in opinions. Abraham Maslow did study the development of personalities based on the human needs. His needs hierarchy portrays the influence of human needs to formations of peoples’ unique and individual personalities. There are some biological factors which does influence formation of one’s personality which usually plays a major role.

As therapists (and coaches), we soon realized that the beliefs and patterns of NLP provided us with an incredible range of choices. We actually remember stopping in sessions because we had too many patterns from which to choose! NLP rapidly assisted us in realizing that it was no longer a question of whether we and the client could get the job done; the only question was what would create the richest experience for the client. Prior to studying Erickson’s work and NLP, our experience was very different. Then the only times we stopped in a session was when we didn’t know what to do! Suffice it to say NLP has had a profoundly positive effect on our personal and professional lives. Having been in NLP for quite some time now we discovered, as John Grinder and Richard Bandler had promised, that when we became facile with the “technology” we would find it’s limits and those would point to future possibilities. We found this to be true. In the past, one of the “raps” against NLP was that it was too mechanistic."

For example:- (i) in behavioural psychology , his research on word association, was fundamental to the development of the lie-detector test, and was recognized by the award of an honorary degree by Clark University, USA, on a visit in 1909; (ii) in psychodynamic psychology, he was second only to Freud in status, and was elected the first president of the International Psychoanalytic Association; he developed his own school of Analytical Psychology , and pushed the boundaries of psychodynamic theory much further than Freud ever could have expected, indeed further than Freud was prepared to accept; (iii) in humanistic psychology, it is clear that Jung�s work anticipated all of the major themes of the humanistic-existential approach, especially his concepts of \"\"Self\"\" (an integrating principle of the human psyche), active imagination and human consciousness; and (iv) in transpersonal psychology, Jung was a pioneer of this field for some fifty of so years before it was ever recognized as a new branch of psychology. Indeed, the work of some of the most important current researchers in the transpersonal field, i.e. Stanislav Grof, Michael Washburn, etc., is almost entirely dependent on the theoretical ideas of Jung. Any evaluation of Jung�s work needs to take into account the breadth of his scholarship and vision."

"text": "\"What is Wrong with Society Today? John H. Stoll Quite frequently the question is raised as to what has gone wrong with our society today, what has caused the problems, and what can be done to correct them? When almost daily we hear of school shootings, drug busts, rapes, robberies, and people being threatened, it is no wonder that people are questioning the ills of society. Unfortunately, we have been treating the symptoms and the effects rather than the causes. We have been putting a bandaid on the problems, with more prisons, more police on the streets, metal detectors in our schools, and a host of other ideas, that do not effectively cure the problems of our society. To get to the bottom one must acknowledge the basic reason for the cause is the self centeredness of mankind. When, in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve turned from being God centered to being self centered, it set the pattern for all the sins and problems of the world to this day (Romans 5:12). In Jeremiah 17:9, God said, \"\"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can fathom it?\"\" The sins in the heart of every person have produced the problems we face today. When our country was founded, our founding Fathers were not all Christians, nor has our country ever been a Christian nation; it has been a pluralistic one."

The first Gymnasium was founded by Paulists in Lepoglava near Zagreb in 1503. Croatian students studied at many European Universities, starting from the Early Middle Ages. For example, Herman Dalmatin (1110-1154) was our first student who attended lectures of the famous Thierry de Chartres in Paris in the thirties of the 12th century. Born according to his own words in the heart of Istria, he wrote about 20 original books and translations, thus contributing a great deal to natural philosophy and exact sciences in Europe. He travelled a lot, and besides Latin and Greek mastered perfectly Arabic. On the left you can see an old drawing of Herman with an astrolabe in his hand, shown with Euclid (from Chronica Maiora written by Matthew of Paris in the 13th century). See a monograph by Zarko Dadic - Herman of Dalmatia, Skolska knjiga, Zagreb, 212 pp (parallel English and Croatian text). He translated many important books from Arabian into Latin, like Euclid's Elements, Al-Khwarizmi 's Tables (continuing the work of Adelard of Bath on both classics), Sahl ibn Bishr's (Arabian scientist of the Jewish origin, 9th century) Sextus astronomicae liber , Abu-Ma'ashar's Introduction to Astronomy , acquainting thus the West with Aristotel's thoughts, and in particular the oldest Latin redaction of Ptolomey 's Planisphere (published in Toulouse 1143; in Islamic literature known as `Almagest'). Herman wrote an astrological - cosmological treatise De essentiis (Béziers, 1143)."

Much of it involves things that are only accessible to the person him- or herself -- your inner thoughts and feelings.

Sponges are aquatic sessile organisms (they are unable to move by themselves and they remain attached to substrates). They do not have tissue diversity and their bodies have pores (the feature form which their name is derived). They are multicellular, like all organisms of the animal kingdom. Sponges Review - Image Diversity: poriferans More Bite-Sized Q&As Below2. How do sponges live? Sponges live exclusively in aquatic environments and are attached by their base to a substrate (fixation ground). Sponges are filtering animals, meaning that they nourish themselves from nutrients that enter their atrium brought in by water."

"text": "Sponges reproduce both asexually and sexually and they also possess the power of regeneration due which it is almost impossible to kill a sponge. Their sexual reproduction is similar to higher animals even though their body organization is primitive type. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTIONRegeneration All sponges possess a remarkable ability to regenerate lost parts. A piece cut from the body of a sponge is capable of growing into a complete sponge. If a sponge is cut into small pieces and squeezed through a fine silken mesh to separate cells, the separated amoebocytes will reunite and in a few days will develop canals, flagellated chambers and skeleton and grow up into a new sponge. This power of regeneration helps the sponges to repair the damage caused in the harsh environment. Budding & Branching In budding, numerous archaeocytes gather near the surface resulting in a small outgrowth on the pinacoderm. The bud thus formed grows outward to produce a small individual, which either remains attached with the parent individual or gets detached and attached to a nearby rock to grow into an independent colony. Stolon of the sponge grows by branching and secondary branching and many small vertical buds grow out of it. Fission & Fragmentation In some sponges multiplication takes place by developing a line of fission and throwing off parts of the body which later can develop into a new sponge."

Phylum Cnidaria contains a diverse group of radially symmetric animals, sometimes referred to as Radiata, to distinguish them from all other animals, which are bilaterally symmetric (Bilateria). Most of the diversity of the animal kingdom consists of different kinds of aquatic worms. Today we will examine two groups of worms that exemplify two of the three basic body plans found in higher animals. Flatworms are acoelomate . They lack a fluid-filled body cavity. Rotifers and larger roundworms are pseudocoelomate . They have a fluid-filled body cavity that is formed in a different fashion from that of higher animals."

While these sponges share many common characteristics, each class has distinctive traits that set it apart from the others. Common Traits Of the 5,000 sponge species in the world, most dwell in marine waters, with only 150 of them living in fresh water. Each sponge is made up of a skeleton, composed of the fiber spongin, a mineral known as silica, or calcium carbonate. The skeleton supports a system of canals and pores through which water flows, driven by waving flagellae. The sponges feed on tiny plankton and bacteria that float through the sponge on the ocean's current. Each sponge can reproduce either sexually or asexually, and most are sessile, which means they are firmly attached to the ocean floor, rock or reef where they live and do not move, though a few are able to slowly crawl. Demospongiae Ninety percent of the world's sponges are found within the class Demosponge, which alone contains 4,750 species. These sponges are asymmetrical, and sizes can vary from 3 millimeters to over 2 meters in length. They come in a variety of bright hues, ranging from yellow, orange and red to purple and green."

They have two basic body forms: swimming medusae and sessile polyps, both of which are radially symmetrical with mouths surrounded by tentacles that bear cnidocytes. Both forms have a single orifice and body cavity that are used for digestion and respiration. Many cnidarian species produce colonies that are single organisms composed of medusa -like or polyp -like zooids, or both (hence they are trimorphic ). Cnidarians' activities are coordinated by a decentralized nerve net and simple receptors.

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

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

However, the biological affinity and the role of Calathium in these reefs have remained unclear up to now. We document lithistid sponge– Calathium reefs from the Upper Hunghuayuan Formation (Early Floian) at Huanghuachang in Hubei, South China. These reefs have a three-dimensional skeletal framework that is mostly produced by Calathium and lithistid sponges. Calathium had a critical role in reef construction, as demonstrated by well-developed lateral outgrowths, which connected individuals of the same species and with lithistid sponges. Bryozoans, stromatoporoids and microbial components were secondary reef builders. Morphological, constructional and functional analyses provide evidence that Calathium was a sponge-grade metazoan rather than a receptaculitid alga as previously thought. At the dawn of the Ordovician Radiation, these small-scaled patch reefs thus represent the initial rebound of metazoan-dominated reefs after the Late–Early Cambrian archaeocyath reef crisis. Gradual global cooling through the Early Ordovician may have been a key driver for the return of metazoan reefs.

"text": "Sponges and Cnidarians3 Comments Invertebrates are organisms without backbones. Let’s look at two very simple types of invertebrates; Sponges and Cnidarians. Sponges (Phylum Porifera), found in oceans all over the world, are made up of colonies of specialized cells—some help push water through the sponge, some help it feed, some are responsible for reproduction, etc. They feed by filtering water through its pores. They have flagella on the inside that drive the water through and pick up particulates in the water. In this sense, they are known as sessile filter feeders. Sponges are attached to the ground below them—they are sessile (unable to move). However, sponges can move around at certain times in their lifespan. Scientists use to think they were plants, but we know now that they are in fact animals. Besides their specialized cells, sponges do not have any organs, nerves, or even true tissues."

"text": "Skills to Develop Describe the organizational features of the simplest multicellular organisms Explain the various body forms and bodily functions of sponges The invertebrates, or invertebrata, are animals that do not contain bony structures, such as the cranium and vertebrae. The simplest of all the invertebrates are the Parazoans, which include only the phylum Porifera: the sponges (Figure 28.1.1). Parazoans (“beside animals”) do not display tissue-level organization, although they do have specialized cells that perform specific functions. Sponge larvae are able to swim; however, adults are non-motile and spend their life attached to a substratum. Since water is vital to sponges for excretion, feeding, and gas exchange, their body structure facilitates the movement of water through the sponge. Structures such as canals, chambers, and cavities enable water to move through the sponge to nearly all body cells. Figure 28.1.1: Sponges are members of the Phylum Porifera, which contains the simplest invertebrates. ( credit: Andrew Turner)Morphology of Sponges The morphology of the simplest sponges takes the shape of a cylinder with a large central cavity, the spongocoel, occupying the inside of the cylinder. Water can enter into the spongocoel from numerous pores in the body wall. Water entering the spongocoel is extruded via a large common opening called the osculum."

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. [ 1] Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present), and can often be described by a chemical equation. Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur. The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents. Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants. Reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps, the so-called elementary reactions, and the information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism. Chemical reactions are described with chemical equations, which symbolically present the starting materials, end products, and sometimes intermediate products and reaction conditions. Chemical reactions happen at a characteristic reaction rate at a given temperature and chemical concentration."

In a chemical reaction,substances lose their characteristic properties. Water, for example, a liquid which neither burns norsupports combustion, is decomposed to yield flammable hydrogen and combustion-supporting oxygen. In some reactions heat is given off (exothermic reactions), and in others heat is absorbed (endothermicreactions).

Those pursuing their interests into specific areas of chemistry communicate with others who share the same interests. Over time a group of chemists with specialized research interests become the founding members of an area of specialization. The areas of specialization that emerged early in the history of chemistry, such as organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and industrial chemistry, along with biochemistry, remain of greatest general interest. There has been, however, much growth in the areas of polymer, environmental, and medicinal chemistry during the 20th century. Moreover, new specialities continue to appear, as, for example, pesticide, forensic, and computer chemistry.crime-scene investigation: forensic chemistry A simulated crime scene is a teaching tool in a university forensic chemistry program. University College Cork, Ireland Analytical chemistry Most of the materials that occur on Earth, such as wood, coal, minerals, or air, are mixtures of many different and distinct chemical substances. Each pure chemical substance ( e.g., oxygen, iron, or water) has a characteristic set of properties that gives it its chemical identity. Iron, for example, is a common silver-white metal that melts at 1,535° C, is very malleable, and readily combines with oxygen to form the common substances hematite and magnetite. The detection of iron in a mixture of metals, or in a compound such as magnetite, is a branch of analytical chemistry called qualitative analysis."

"text": "\"CHEMICAL REACTIONSEXOTHERMIC REACTIONS: When one substance is brought together or mixed with another and the resulting interaction evolves or generates heat, the process is referred to as an exothermic reaction. An exothermic (exo- is a prefix meaning \"\"out of\"\") reaction is one where the energy flows out of the system into the environment. Combustion reactions are exothermic. Some exothermic reactions may require heating just to get started, and will then proceed on their own. Exothermic reactions pose special hazards whether occurring in the open environment or within a closed container. In the open, the heat evolved will raise the temperature of the reactants, of any products of the reaction, and of surrounding materials. Since several properties of all substances are a function of temperature, such as pressure, the resulting higher temperatures may affect how the materials involved behave in the environment. Heat will increase the vapor pressures of hazardous materials and the rate at which they vaporize. If very high temperatures are achieved, nearby combustible materials may ignite. Explosive materials, whether they are the reactants of the reaction or just nearby, may explode upon ignition or excessive heating."

Chemistry History Outline Index Glossary Category Portalv t e Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with compounds composed of atoms, i.e. elements, and molecules, i.e. combinations of atoms: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other compounds. [ 1] [2] Chemistry addresses topics such as how atoms and molecules interact via chemical bonds to form new chemical compounds. There are four types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds, in which compounds share one or more electron (s); ionic bonds, in which a compound donates one or more electrons to another compound to produce ions: cations and anions; hydrogen bonds; and Van der Waals force bonds. See glossary of chemistry. In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology. [ 3] It is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level. [ 4] Examples include plant chemistry ( botany ), the formation of igneous rocks ( geology ), how atmospheric ozone is formed and how environmental pollutants are degraded ( ecology ), the properties of the soil on the moon ( astrophysics ), how medications work ( pharmacology ), and how to collect DNA evidence at a crime scene ( forensics )."

"text": "\"Allergy Allergies are inappropriate or exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that, in the majority of people, cause no symptoms. Symptoms of the allergic diseases may be caused by exposure of the skin to a chemical, of the respiratory system to particles of dust or pollen (or other substances), or of the stomach and intestines to a particular food. Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock, is a severe, frightening and life-threatening allergic reaction. The reaction, although rare, can occur after an insect sting or as a reaction to an injected drug - for example, penicillin or antitetanus (horse) serum. Less commonly, the reaction occurs after a particular food or drug has been taken by mouth. Antibody An antibody is a protein (also called an immunoglobulin) that is manufactured by lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to neutralize an antigen or foreign protein. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms commonly contain many antigens, as do pollens, dust mites, molds, foods, and other substances. Although many types of antibodies are protective, inappropriate or excessive formation of antibodies may lead to illness. When the body forms a type of antibody called Ig E (immunoglobulin E), allergic rhinitis, asthma or eczema may result when the patient is again exposed to the substance which caused Ig E antibody formation (allergen). Antigen An antigen is a substance that can trigger an immune response, resulting in production of an antibody as part of the body's defense against infection and disease."

"text": "Kinetic of the chemical reaction Rate of a chemical reaction Chemical equilibrium Rate of a chemical reaction The rate of a reaction is the rate at which products are formed or the rate at which reactants are used up in the reaction. The rate of a reaction is defined by change of molar concentrations of one of the reacting substances:С 2- С 1D СV = ±–––––= ±–––t 2- t 1D twhere C 1 and C 2 - are molar concentrations of substance at moments of the time t 1 and t 2 respectively. Symbol (+) if the rate is defined on the product of reactions, symbol (-) if the rate is defined on the initial substance. Reaction occurs at the colliding of molecules of reacting substances. Its rate is determined by quantity of collisions and by probability that this process bring about the conversion. The number of collisions is determined by concentrations of reacting substances, but probability of reactions is determined by energy of colliding molecules. Numbers of factors influencing on the rate of any particular reaction The most important of these are:the nature of reactants;concentration of reactants;temperature;presence of catalysts. Below, the influence of each factor on the rate of chemical reactions is described.1. Dependence of reaction rate on the nature of reactants. The character of chemical bonds and structure of reactant molecules has a great importance."

"text": "4.3 Acid-Base Reactions Acids and bases are among the most familiar compounds that we encounter (Figure 4.5). Many are industrial and household substances, and some are important components of biological fluids. For example, hydrochloric acid is not only an important industrial chemical but is also the main constituent of gastric juice in our stomach. Acids and bases also happen to be common electrolytes. Acids Acids are substances that are able to ionize in aqueous solutions to form a hydrogen ion and thereby increase the concentration of H + (aq) ions. Because a hydrogen atom consists of a proton and an electron, H + is simply a proton. Thus, acids are often called proton donors. Molecular models of three common acids, HCl, HNO 3, and HC 2 H 3 O 2, are shown below. Molecules of different acids can ionize to form different numbers of H + ions. Both HCl and HNO 3 are examples of monoprotic acids, which yield one H + per molecule of acid."

Calcium chloride is a chemical compound made up of calcium and chlorine. It contains two atoms of chlorine and one atom of calcium. Thus its chemical formula is Ca Cl2. It is also known as a common salt, as referred to in chemistry. Calcium chloride can be prepared by various methods. When calcium carbonate or calcium oxide is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride is produced. Calcium chloride is obtained on a large scale as a byproduct of the Solvay process or the ammonia-soda process. In this process, when calcium carbonate reacts with sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and calcium chloride are formed. If we are aware of the basic physical and chemical properties of calcium chloride, we can utilize this chemical substance more effectively. Some important points are given below: *Physical Properties of Calcium Chloride Physical state: Calcium chloride can be found in solid state at room temperature, and is available as flakes, granules and powdered form."

"text": "The Difference Between Dizziness and Vertigo Patient Education1 Comments Follow Artwork Provided by Andrew Reach: www. Andrew Reach.com Dizziness and vertigo are two words used interchangeably these days, when in fact they mean two different things. “ Dizziness” is an umbrella term pertaining to an uncomfortable sensation of inner confusion. In addition to vertigo, dizziness also includes common lightheadedness, equilibrium imbalance, and other common disorienting conditions. “ Vertigo,” on the other hand, is a special kind of dizziness marked by a spinning sensation. You may remember spinning like a top when you were a kid, then enjoying (yes, it was fun back then, wasn’t it) the disorienting sensation that followed when you stopped. The spinning sensation, whether clockwise or counter-clockwise, is the defining characteristic of vertigo. As you get older, the sensation you get from vertigo becomes less and less amusing. The disorientation may lead to falls and injuries, and may even get in the way of common tasks in the home and office. Not surprisingly, individuals suffering from regular attacks of vertigo spend more time sitting or lying down, trying to keep from passing out, than on their feet leading productive lives."

The term glosso means “pertaining to the tongue and pharyngeal means “pertaining to the pharynx”. Therefore, it makes sense simply from the name that the glossopharyngeal nerve controls tongue and pharynx. The glossopharyngeal nerve only motor function is supplying efferent motor fibers to the stylopharyngeal muscle, which elevates the pharynx. This nerve also receives afferent sensory signals from the pharynx, tonsils, middle ear, and posterior of the tongue. Sensory fibers are also received from the carotid bodies, which detect increase in blood pressure in the sinus of the carotid. Afferent signals can then be sent to the medulla where the stimulation of the medulla leads to a decrease in arterial blood pressure and heart rate. This reflex is known as the carotid sinus reflex. Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Nerve Damage : Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a condition in which there are repeated episodes of severe pain in the tongue, throat, ear, and tonsils, which can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. Symptoms: Severe pain in areas connected to the Glossopharyngeal Nerve."

Biology The Elements of an Ecosystem Abiotic and Biotic Factors5 Answers646Judy O. and 2 others Share Mar 24, 2016Answer: Examples of biotic factors include any animals, plants, trees, grass, bacteria, moss, or molds that you might find in an ecosystem. Explanation: In general, biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem and are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores. Examples of biotic factors include: Grass as producers (autotrophs). Mouse, deer, and owl as consumers (heterotrophs). And earthworms as decomposers (detritivores). To further understand the term \"\"biotic factors\"\", it's helpful to look at the meaning of the terms \"\"biotic\"\" and \"\"abiotic. \"\" Biotic means pertains to life.

However, certain cells called Prokaryotic cells (meaning \"\"no true nucleus\"\") do not have a nucleus. Instead, their genetic data simply floats around the inside of the cell like water outside of a glass. All plants and animals have very complex Eukaryotic cells. The main difference between plant cells and animal cells, rather than nucleus or no nucleus, is that plants have an extra protective layer around the cell called a cell wall.

"text": "\"How Does Radiation Affect Humans? Radiation may come from either an external source, such as an x-ray machine, or an internal source, such as an injected radioisotope. The impact of radiation on living tissue is complicated by the type of radiation and the variety of tissues. In addition, the effects of radiation are not always easy to separate from other factors, making it a challenge at times for scientists to isolate them. An overview may help explain not only the effects of radiation but also the motivation for studying them, which led to much of the research examined by the Advisory Committee. What effect can ionizing radiation have on chemical bonds? The functions of living tissue are carried out by molecules, that is, combinations of different types of atoms united by chemical bonds. Some of these molecules can be quite large. The proper functioning of these molecules depends upon their composition and also their structure (shape). Altering chemical bonds may change composition or structure."

Prokaryotes make up the domains Eubacteria and Archaea (the third domain is Eukarya, and their cells do have a nucleus). In certain eukaryotes, I know of 2 cells types that don't have a nucleus. Mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) in mammals lack a nucleus. Note that the early stages of forming a red blood cell do have a nucleus; it gets ejected during the maturation process. Also, note that the red blood cells of fish, amphibians, and reptiles are nucleated. Also, in the human eye, mature lens cells do not have a nucleus."

Mesenchyme arises from mesoderm, an embryonic germ layer, and is composed of stellate or fusiform cells embedded in an extensive, jelly-like ground substance. Mesenchyme is the stem tissue of all the connective tisues of the body. Connective dtissues fall into four main categories: 1. Loose connective tissues (adipose tissue)2.

"text": "\"The largest biological cell is often cited as the ostrich egg, which is about 6 inches (15 cm) long and weigh about 3 pounds (1.4 kg). This is a myth. There are at least several biological cells larger than an ostrich egg, despite the fact that even many scientists and laypeople believe the ostrich egg is indeed the biggest. The ostrich may actually be the heaviest cell, but this has not yet been tested. Largeness refers to size, not weight, so the ostrich egg is definitely not the largest. The first type of cell larger than the ostrich egg are nerve cells in especially long animals, such as the Giant Squid and Colossal Squid, which may have nerve cells as long as 39 feet (12 m), about 80 times larger than an ostrich egg. Nerve cells have very long axons, enabling the brain to send signals to distant limbs almost instantly. In giraffes, the nerve cells may be several yards (meters) long, running the whole length of the animal's neck, and in humans, the longest nerve cells are about 4.9 feet (1.5 m), running from the base of the spine to the toes. So even the human body has biological cells larger than the ostrich egg. One might argue that, in terms of volume, an ostrich egg is still the largest in comparison to nerve cells, which may be very long but exceedingly skinny, on the order of 10 microns or less."

He used the term “cell” to describe these hollow chambers. The Cell Theory was first described in 1839. While the Cell Theory has been altered and revised, most biologists today list three or four general characteristics shared by all cells:1. The cell is the basic unit of life.

"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)."

[ I] Nuclear membrane (karyotheca): The nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by a limiting membrane called as karyotheca or nuclear membrane. This membrane plays an important role for the transport of the material between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Nuclear envelope regulates nucleocytoplasmic exchanges and coordinates gene action with cytoplasmic activity. Image Courtesy : upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/Blausen_0212_Cell Nucleus.png It has direct connections with the endoplasmic reticulum and during cell division, this nuclear envelope (nuclear membrane) develops as an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum applied to the nucleus and subsequently modified. In the end of mitosis, i.e, in telophase, the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum gather around the chromosomes and by fusing together they form the nuclear membrane. Structure: The nuclear membrane appears to be a double membrane having interruptions or pores at intervals. The outer one is called ectokaryotheca and inner one is termed endokaryotheca. Each of the membranes is about 75 to 90 A thick and both the membranes enclose an intervening space of about 100-150 A (Robertis et al., 1970), or 100 to 300 A (Cohn, 1970) or 400 to 700 A (Burke, 1970), called as perinuclear space or cisterna."

It may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language, and in regulating fear and pleasure responses, [1] but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established. The cerebellum does not initiate movement, but it contributes to coordination, precision, and accurate timing. It receives input from sensory systems of the spinal cord and from other parts of the brain, and integrates these inputs to fine tune motor activity. [ 2] Because of this fine-tuning function, damage to the cerebellum does not cause paralysis, but instead produces disorders in fine movement, equilibrium, posture, and motor learning. [ 2]In its anatomy, the cerebellum has the appearance of a separate structure attached to the bottom of the brain, tucked underneath the cerebral hemispheres. The surface of the cerebellum is covered with finely spaced parallel grooves, in striking contrast to the broad irregular convolutions of the cerebral cortex. These parallel grooves conceal the fact that the cerebellum is actually a continuous thin layer of tissue (the cerebellar cortex), tightly folded in the style of an accordion."

In other words, the epiglottis lies in the pharynx during breathing but becomes part of the larynx during swallowing. It folds itself across the trachea to prevent food and/or liquid from entering it which is directed into the oesophagus instead. This temporarily shuts off air into the trachea but as soon as food and/or drink have been swallowed, it reopens the trachea. This allows breathing to take place as normal. This action is designed to prevent food and drink from entering the lungs."

I'm going to try not to over-complicate things but make the learning experience interesting, effective and hopefully fun. In the past I have studied, at great length, the anatomy of humans and our internal systems, especially the wonders of our skin, so I will sometimes use comparisons to create effective visualization and understanding. I would like you to come away from this page with an increased appreciation of the rabbit in general, a greater respect for their life and a full comprehension of their fundamental rights to be the amazing creatures they are. Rabbit Anatomy - Body Areas Rabbit Anatomy - Systems The anatomy of a rabbit can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be but for the purposes of an 'easier' appreciation and application in the all important areas, I will outline the following main systems of a rabbit's anatomy: Rabbit Skeletal System Rabbit Muscular System Rabbit Digestive System Rabbit Respiratory System Rabbit Cardiovascular System Rabbit Urogenital System Urinary System Reproductive System Rabbit Dental System Rabbit Sense System Eyes Nose Ears Introduction to Rabbit Anatomy First of all, you may be wondering 'Why do I need to understand a rabbit's body?' I drive a modern car and the gadgets, computers and systems whirring and jigging within it are a complete mystery to me. However, when it stops working or doesn't do something it's supposed to, I am dumb-founded as to know why. That's when I wish I'd taken a lesson or two in car mechanics. Knowledge would have gone a long way to lowering the cost of my garage bills too. So, with that concept in mind, the information on this page will give you most of the necessary information to get your pet rabbit up and moving again, if they are not functioning the way they should, but more importantly, you will be able to prevent any further ' breakdown s' in the future!Of course a rabbit is a living being, not a machine."

"text": "\"Atrial fibrillation definition and facts Atrial fibrillation (also referred to as AFib or AF) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. Atrial fibrillation is caused by abnormal electrical discharges (signals) that generate chaotically throughout the upper chambers of the heart (atria). It reduces the ability of the atria to pump blood into the ventricles, and usually causes the heart to beat too rapidly. One-half million new cases of are diagnosed every year in the U. S., and billions of dollars are spent annually on its diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms of the condition include: Palpitations Dizziness Fainting Weakness Fatigue Shortness of breath Chest pain Some people have no signs or symptoms. Complications of atrial fibrillation include heart failure and stroke. Physical examination, electrocardiogram, Holter monitor, or patient-activated event recorder can make and confirm the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. Treatment of for the condition is directed toward controlling underlying causes, slowing the heart rate and/or converting the heart to normal rhythm, and stroke prevention using blood-thinning medications. Medications are commonly used in the longer term to control or prevent recurrence of AF, but medications may not be effective and may have intolerable side effects. Electrical cardioversion is successful in over 95% of individuals with AF, but 75% of them have a recurrence of the disease within 1 to 2 years."

The lungs are located within the chest, just under the rib cage. They are critical for breathing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. Compared to other organs in the chest, the lungs are considered relatively large. They are located on either side of the heart in two cavities. Although at first glance the two cavities look identical, the right cavity is made up of three lobes and the left cavity is made up of two lobes. Each of the lobes is composed of clusters of alveoli or air sacs, which is where the gases are exchanged and then oxygen is taken up by the bloodstream for transport throughout the body. The process of breathing is continuous provided if the alveoli are intact and functioning normally. However, the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, also called pulmonary edema, compromises the lung's ability to uptake oxygen and to expel carbon dioxide. Pulmonary edema is a medical condition that is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lungs, inflammation of the lungs, and difficulty breathing."

The base of the heart is located along the body’s midline with the apex pointing toward the left side. Because the heart points to the left, about 2/3 of the heart’s mass is found on the left side of the body and the other 1/3 is on the right. Anatomy of the Heart Pericardium The heart sits within a fluid-filled cavity called the pericardial cavity. The walls and lining of the pericardial cavity are a special membrane known as the pericardium. Pericardium is a type of serous membrane that produces serous fluid to lubricate the heart and prevent friction between the ever beating heart and its surrounding organs. Besides lubrication, the pericardium serves to hold the heart in position and maintain a hollow space for the heart to expand into when it is full. The pericardium has 2 layers—a visceral layer that covers the outside of the heart and a parietal layer that forms a sac around the outside of the pericardial cavity. Structure of the Heart Wall The heart wall is made of 3 layers: epicardium, myocardium and endocardium."

In fish the blood only passes through the heart once on its way to the gills and then round the rest of the leg. However, in mammals and birds that have lungs, the blood passes through the heart twice: once on its way to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then through the heart again to be pumped all over the body. The heart is therefore two separate pumps, side by side (see diagram 8.6). The heart is situated in the thorax between the lungs and is protected by the rib cage. In some animals it is displaced slightly to the left-hand side. A tough membrane called the pericardium covers it. There is a narrow space between the pericardium and the heart that is filled with a liquid that acts as a lubricant. The heart of mammals is a hollow bag made of cardiac muscle (see chapter 4). The cavity inside the heart is divided into 4 chambers."

We need a transport system to deliver oxygen, nutrients and other substances to all our body cells, and take away waste products from them. The oxygenated blood (high in oxygen, red in color) comes to the heart from the lungs in the pulmonary vein; the heart pumps it to the aorta (an artery) to the rest of the body. The deoxygenated blood returns to the heart from the body in the vena cava (a vein), the heart pumps is to the lungs to get rid of the carbon dioxide. Oxygenated Blood: Red color, high oxygen low Carbon dioxide. Deoxygenated Blood: Blue color, low oxygen high Carbon dioxide. Did you notice that during one circulation, the blood went through the heart twice, this is why we call it double circulation. When the blood is flowing away from the heart, it has a very high pressure, when it is flowing towards the heart it has a lower pressure. The Blood: The blood is a fluid consisting of several types of cells floating in a liquid called plasma.

Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve. When the ventricles are full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contracts (squeezes!). From the right ventricle, blood is pumped through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery that goes to the lungs. This blood then picks up oxygen (becomes oxygenated or oxygen-rich)."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science What is the epiglottis and what does it do? Flag What is the epiglottis and what does it do? Answer by Cheyenne Herron Confidence votes 101Answer The epiglottis is actually a flap of connective tissue that is made of elastic cartilage at the base of the tongue. It points upward except when solids and liquids pass from the oral cavity into the esophagus. When you swallow, this position is changed so that it covers the opening of the trachea in the throat by folding down over the glottis to prevent food from passing into the lungs through the trachea. So it temporarily blocks off the air passageway as food goes down the esophagus it doesn't go down into the lungs. After you finish swallowing, it then reopens the trachea to allow breathing. Another Answer During swallowing, the larynx rises and the epiglottis, which is composed of cartilage, covers its opening which then directs food and fluid into the esophagus and preventing its entry into the trachea which would then lead to the lungs. Another answer The epiglottis is a leaf shaped elastic cartilage. It is one of the single cartilages of the larynx and its function is to close the laryngeal inlet during swallowing."

"text": "F EEDINGISSUES IN THE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF SWALLOWING: IMPACT ON THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH DYSPHAGIAK EY ISSUESComplex Anatomy can be Viewed as a Series of Tubes and Cavities with a Division by Function The swallowing system is comprised of a single tube which widens in the upper region to form cavities. The tube divides at the lower end into a tube for feeding (i.e. the esophagus) and a tube for breathing (i.e. the trachea). Each cavity, formed by the enlargement of a portion of the tube serves initially either the function of feeding (i.e. oral cavity, vallecula, pyriform sinus) or breathing (i.e. nasal cavity). The Function of Both the Feeding and Respiratory Systems Can be Modified by the Use of Valves Each system contains a series of valves which change the shape or configuration of the system or protect it. Valves created by the lips and tongue keep food in the mouth and in place prior to swallowing. The valve created by the cricopharyngeous muscle at the top of the esophagus keeps air out of the digestive system during breathing. The valve created by the soft palate keeps food out of the nasal airway during swallowing. The valves created by the false and true vocal folds and the epiglottis prevent food from entering the airway during swallowing. Shared Pathways Exist between the Feeding and Respiratory Systems The feeding and respiratory systems share a portion of the pharynx between the area behind the tongue and the area at the entrance to the larynx and the entrance to the esophagus. Since a Shared System Exists, Valves are Used to Support the Desired Activity and Protect the Alternate System During breathing the valves open to allow air to enter the nose, larynx, and trachea and close to prevent air from entering the esophagus and lower digestive tract."

"text": "\"MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION, SHORT-RUN PRODUCTION ANALYSIS: A monopolistically competitive firm produces the profit-maximizing quantity of output that equates marginal revenue and marginal cost. This production level can be identified using total revenue and cost, marginal revenue and cost, or profit. Because a monopolistically competitive firm faces a negatively-sloped demand curve, it does not efficiently allocate resources by equating price and marginal cost. Monopolistic competition is a market structure with a large number of relatively small firms that sell similar but not identical products. Each firm is small relative to the overall size of the market such that it has some market control, but not much. In other words, it can sell a wide range of output at a narrow range of prices. This translates into a relatively elasticdemand curve. If a monopolistically competitive firm wants to sell a larger quantity, then it must lower the price, but not by much. Comparable to any profit-maximizing firm, a monopolistically competitive firm produces the quantity of output in the short run that equates marginal revenue with marginal cost. At this production level, the firm cannot increase profit by changing the level of production."

Short-run average cost will vary in relation to the quantity produced unless fixed costs are zero and variable costs constant. A cost curve can be plotted, with cost on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis. Marginal costs are often shown on these graphs, with marginal cost representing the cost of the last unit produced at each point; marginal costs are the slope of the cost curve or the first derivative of total or variable costs. A typical average cost curve will have a U-shape, because fixed costs are all incurred before any production takes place and marginal costs are typically increasing, because of diminishing marginal productivity. In this \"\"typical\"\" case, for low levels of production marginal costs are below average costs, so average costs are decreasing as quantity increases."

Explain ur... show more Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In economics, the concept of the short-run refers to the decision-making time frame of a firm in which at least one factor of production is fixed. Costs which are fixed in the short-run have no impact on a firms decisions. For example a firm can raise output by increasing the amount of labour through overtime. In economics, a cost curve is a graph of the costs of production as a function of total quantity produced. In a free market economy, productively efficient firms use these curves to find the optimal point of production, where they make the most profits. There are a few different types of cost curves, each relevant to a different area of economics. A generic firm can make three changes in the short-run: * Increase production * Decrease production * Shut down In the short-run, a profit maximizing firm will: * Increase production if marginal cost is less than price; * Decrease production if marginal cost is greater than price; * Continue producing if average variable cost is less than price, even if average total cost is greater than price; * Shut down if average variable cost is greater than price."

"text": "AVERAGE VARIABLE COST CURVE: A curve that graphically represents the relation between average variable cost incurred by a firm in the short-run product of a good or service and the quantity produced. This curve is constructed to capture the relation between average variable cost and the level of output, holding other variables, like technology and resource prices, constant. The average variable cost curve is one of three average curves. The other two are average total cost curve and average fixed cost curve. A related curve is the marginal cost curve. The average variable cost curve is U-shaped. Average variable cost is relatively high at small quantities of output, then as production increases, it declines, reaches a minimum value, then rises. This shape of the average variable cost curve is indirectly attributable to increasing, then decreasing marginal returns (and the law of diminishing marginal returns ). Average Variable Cost Curve This graph is the average variable cost curve for the short-run production of Wacky Willy Stuffed Amigos (those cute and cuddly armadillos and tarantulas). The quantity of Stuffed Amigos production, measured on the horizontal axis, ranges from 0 to 10 and the average variable cost incurred in the production of Stuffed Amigos, measured on the vertical axis, ranges from a high of $5 to a low of $2.50, before rising again."

Pricing a New Product: Pricing is a crucial managerial decision. Most companies do not encounter it in a major way on a day-to-day basis. But there is need to follow certain additional guidelines in the pricing of the new product. The marketing of a new,’ product poses a problem for any firm because new products have no past information. ADVERTISEMENTS: Here the firm is also not in a position to determine consumer reaction. The question is, what do we mean by a new product? New products for our purposes will include original products, improved products, modified products and new brands that the firm develops through its own R&D efforts. When fixing the first price, the decision is obviously a major one. When the company introduces its product for the first time, the whole future depends heavily on the soundness of initial pricing decision."

The information on these graphs is consistent with the information given in the forecast maps of probability anomaly (the multi-season climate outlook) that have been issued since the beginning of 1995. Those forecast maps show the probability anomaly of the most favored tercile of the climatological distribution: below normal, near normal, or above normal. The graphs shown here are intended to provide additional detail about the forecast probability distribution at an individual location i.e., any one of 102 climate regions in the mainland U. S., or an individual station in other regions. The additional information comes about through the display of the entire probability distribution, as opposed to just the probability anomaly of the most favored tercile. With the entire distribution, users may select any cutoffs or categories that are of particular interest to them, and are not limited to pre-established tercile categories. Although skill in climate forecasting is in most cases modest in absolute terms, there is nonetheless justification to issue a complete forecast probability distribution. Showing the distribution is our attempt to accurately convey the sense of the forecast while also showing the degree of uncertainty (which is often high) contained in that forecast. In an additional new web site facility, a flexible user-prescribed probability assessment will be provided in the future so that the \"\"probability of exceedance\"\" curve can be used to automatically determine the forecast probability of occurrence with respect to the users's own upper and lower limits.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Business & Finance Business and Industry Flag Share In Business & Finance , Economics , Business and Industry Why is the marginal revenue curve below the demand curve and why does the vertical distance between them diverge as output increases? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The demand curve is a tremendously useful illustration for those who can read it. We have seen that the downward slope tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity. One can also view the demand curve as separating a region in which sellers can operate from a region forbidden to them. But there is more, especially when one considers what an area on the graph represents. If people will buy 100 units of a product when its price is $10.00, as the picture below illustrates, total revenue for sellers will be $1000. Simple geometry tells us that the area of the rectangle formed under the demand curve in the picture is found by multiplying the height of the rectangle by its width. Because the height is price and the width is quantity, and since price multiplied by quantity is total revenue, the area is total revenue. The fact that area on supply and demand graphs measures total revenue (or total expenditure by buyers, which is the same thing from another viewpoint) is a key idea used repeatedly in microeconomics."

Each is U-shaped because it begins with relatively high but falling cost for small quantities of output, reaches a minimum value, then has rising cost at large quantities of output. Although the average fixed cost curve is not U-shaped, it is occasionally included with the other three just for sake of completeness. The U-shapes of the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost curves are directly or indirectly the result of increasing marginal returns for small quantities of output (production Stage I) followed by decreasing marginal returns for larger quantities of output (production Stage II). The decreasing marginal returns in Stage II result from the law of diminishing marginal returns. The U-shaped cost curves form the foundation for the analysis of short-run, profit-maximizing production by a firm. These three curves can provide all of the information needed about the cost side of a firm's operation.

Consequently, the estimates obtained are imprecise and unable to test the veracity of a vertical long-run Phillips curve. We estimate a Phillips curve model taking into account the non-stationary properties in inflation and identify a small but significant positive relationship between inflation and unemployment. The results also provide some evidence that the trade-off between inflation and the rate of unemployment in the short-run worsens as the mean rate of inflation increases. Previous article Next article JEL classification C22 C32 D40 E31Keywords Inflation Unemployment Long-run Phillips curve Business cycle GMM1. Introduction The insight of Friedman (1968) and Phelps (1967) that permanently higher inflation would not lead to a permanent reduction in the unemployment rate and that the long-run Phillips curve is vertical underpins the modern theoretical, empirical and policy literature on inflation. Their insight is both simple and powerful. Simple in the sense that the concept of a vertical long-run Phillips curve now appears to be ‘common sense’. And powerful in so far as this concept completely dominates modern macroeconomics. One of the implications of a vertical long-run Phillips curve is that inflation may be non-stationary."

Answer by Mysandie Confidence votes 20 (1) On February 8, 2012 at 5:57 am Mysandie [0] said: Learning a little Latin helped me to remember:\"\"visceral\"\" refers to inner\"\"pari\"\" = wall\"\"peri\"\" = around\"\"epi\"\" = upon\"\"endo\"\" = inside\"\"myo\"\" = muscle Most people think of the pericardium as just a double-layered, membranous sac (The Pericardial Cavity) that is around the heart. But, the pericardium is actually TRIPLE layered: the visceral layer, the parietal layer, and the fibrous layer (fibrosa). The visceral pericardium is the inner- most layer of the pericardium, and is also known as the Epicardium as it \"\"lays\"\" upon the heart. The Pericardial Cavity lies between the visceral pericardium and the parietal pericardium. This cavity is filled with pericardial fluid which serves as a shock absorber by reducing friction between the visceral and parietal layers. The parietal pericardium is an outer layering wall of the Pericardial Cavity between the pericardial membranes. The outer-most layer is the fibrous layer (fibrosa), and contains nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. This is the layer that can become inflamed, called pericarditis. ( As opposed to, endocarditis, which is inflammation of the inside layer of the heart. )"

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

Source (s): GP for more years than I care to remember Dr Frank · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Heart Membranes Source (s):https://shrinks.im/a05WQharth · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The pericardium is a double-walled sac that contains the heart and the roots of the great vessels. There are two layers to the pericardial sac: the fibrous pericardium and the serous pericardium. The serous pericardium, in turn, is divided into two layers, the parietal pericardium, which is fused to and inseparable from the fibrous pericardium, and the visceral pericardium, which is part of the epicardium. The epicardium is the layer immediately outside of the heart muscle proper (the myocardium). In between the parietal and visceral pericardial layers there is a potential space called the pericardial cavity. It is normally lubricated by a film of pericardial fluid. Too much fluid in the cavity (such as in a pericardial effusion) can result in pericardial tamponade (compression of the heart within the pericardial sac). A pericardectomy is sometimes needed in these cases."

The base of the heart is located along the body’s midline with the apex pointing toward the left side. Because the heart points to the left, about 2/3 of the heart’s mass is found on the left side of the body and the other 1/3 is on the right. Anatomy of the Heart Pericardium The heart sits within a fluid-filled cavity called the pericardial cavity. The walls and lining of the pericardial cavity are a special membrane known as the pericardium. Pericardium is a type of serous membrane that produces serous fluid to lubricate the heart and prevent friction between the ever beating heart and its surrounding organs. Besides lubrication, the pericardium serves to hold the heart in position and maintain a hollow space for the heart to expand into when it is full. The pericardium has 2 layers—a visceral layer that covers the outside of the heart and a parietal layer that forms a sac around the outside of the pericardial cavity. Structure of the Heart Wall The heart wall is made of 3 layers: epicardium, myocardium and endocardium."

"text": "Fluid Around The Heart (Pericardial Effusion) Causes, Symptoms Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The heart is surrounded by a sac known as the pericardium, which is made up of two layers – the fibrous and serous pericardium. The inner lying serous pericardium is in turn composed of two linings – the parietal and visceral layers of the serous pericardium. The visceral layer of the serous pericardium is attached to the heart and makes up the outer layer of the heart wall known as the epicardium. The parietal layer of the serous epicardium is fused with the fibrous pericardium. A potential space therefore exists between the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium in between known as the pericardial space. Within this space is a small amount of fluid known as the pericardial fluid that serves as a lubricant for the constantly beating heart. However, excess fluid can accumulate within this cavity and cause a host of signs and symptoms. What is a pericardial effusion? A pericardial effusion is the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space between the parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium. It is commonly referred to as fluid around the heart since the visceral layer is continuous with the epicardium – the outermost layer of the heart wall."

What is the strucute, function, and location of the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum?1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The pleura is the cavity within the throacic cavity that contains the lungs. The outter pleura (called the parietal pleura) covers, and is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers and is attached to the lungs. ( and other structures like blood vessels, bronchii, etc). The space between the two is called the pleural space, or interpleural space, and within that space there is a small amount of fluid. The fluid there acts to lubricate the two layers (visceral and parietal) to reduce friction so they can slide easily against each other during ventilation. The fluid also provides surface tension across the surface of the lungs which help keep them open. The Pericardium is the sac that surround the heart.

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery References Background Bacterial, fungal, and viral infections may involve the pericardium (pericarditis), although viral pericarditis is more common than bacterial pericarditis in both children and adults. [ 1] Awareness of this disease has increased because of the introduction of noninvasive diagnostic techniques, such as echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The disease can be severe and even lethal, especially in children with immunosuppression. The infection may also involve the myocardium (myopericarditis). The infection involves the pericardium and leads to accumulation of pericardial effusion that, if untreated, can lead rapidly to hemodynamic collapse, tamponade, and death. The fluid is generally purulent but can be serosanguineous; however, the causative agent can usually be identified from the pericardial fluid by culture or more sensitive tests (eg, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or from samples of pericardial biopsy in cases that require open drainage of the fluid. Workup of the patient with infective pericarditis may include laboratory studies, imaging studies (CT and CMR), electrocardiography (ECG), pericardioscopy, and pericardial biopsy. ( See Workup. ) Management of pediatric infective pericarditis is influenced by the cause of the pericarditis. It may involve supportive care, pain control, and antibiotic therapy if necessary, as well as pericardiocentesis (indicated in symptomatic patients or when the etiology is in doubt and essential in suspected tamponade), pericardial drainage, or pericardiectomy as required.

"text": "Human cardiovascular system, organ system that conveys blood through vessels to and from all parts of the body, carrying nutrients and oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. It is a closed tubular system in which the blood is propelled by a muscular heart. Two circuits, the pulmonary and the systemic, consist of arterial, capillary, and venous components. The primary function of the heart is to serve as a muscular pump propelling blood into and through vessels to and from all parts of the body. The arteries, which receive this blood at high pressure and velocity and conduct it throughout the body, have thick walls that are composed of elastic fibrous tissue and muscle cells. The arterial tree—the branching system of arteries—terminates in short, narrow, muscular vessels called arterioles, from which blood enters simple endothelial tubes (i.e., tubes formed of endothelial, or lining, cells) known as capillaries. These thin, microscopic capillaries are permeable to vital cellular nutrients and waste products that they receive and distribute. From the capillaries, the blood, now depleted of oxygen and burdened with waste products, moving more slowly and under low pressure, enters small vessels called venules that converge to form veins, ultimately guiding the blood on its way back to the heart. Blood: Anatomy of the Vascular System The vascular system is a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that supplies blood to the tissues of the body. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. This article describes the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels, and the technologies that are used to evaluate and monitor the health of these fundamental components of the human cardiovascular system."

This Buzzle article presents a list of the organs that need protection. There are many cavities in the human body, for example, the cranial cavity in the head, the thoracic cavity, the abdominopelvic body cavity below the thoracic cavity, and the dorsal cavity that covers the backside of the body, etc. Thoracic cavity or the chest cavity is an important chamber in the human body. It is the second largest cavity in the body. The ribs, vertebral column, muscles, connective tissues, and the sternum (breast bone) enclose this cavity. The thoracic cavity is lined by a serous membrane that exudes a thin fluid (serum). The chest membrane, also known as parietal pleura, extends further to cover the lungs. This part of the membrane is known as the visceral pleura."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Circulatory System Heart What are the three layers of heart tissue? Flag What are the three layers of heart tissue? Answer by Deepseaelk Confidence votes 118The heart consists of three tissue layers: endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. The endocardium, the innermost layer, lines the hearts chambers and is bathed in blood. The myocardium is the thick middle layer of the heart. Its cells are unique in that they physically resemble skeletal muscle but have electrical properties similar to smooth muscle. These cells also contain specialized structures that help to rapidly conduct electrical impulses from one muscle cell to another, enabling the heart to contract. The pericardium is a protective sac surrounding the heart, which consists of two parts: the inner serous pericardium and the outer fibrous pericardium. The serous pericardium has two layers--the visceral and the parietal. The visceral pericardium, also called the epicardium, is the inner layer, in contact with the heart muscle itself."

When I *originally wrote this downswing chapter in December 2006, I mainly focused my attention on describing the initiating lower body move that starts the downswing, but I now believe that there is much better way of thinking about, and describing, the entire downswing process . (* I revised this downswing chapter for the second time in November 2012, and I have added a significant amount of new golf instructional material)When a golfer thinks of the primary purpose of the entire downswing process, he should break it down into its necessary components. The first purpose of the downswing process is the need to generate swing power. The major source of swing power in the modern, total body golf swing is the pivot action, and a modern day golfer primarily uses his pivot-drive to power the swing. However, swing power is not transmitted directly to the swinging club. Rather, swing power is transferred from the pivoting torso to the swinging arms, which then apply that power to the clubshaft. I will describe the process of how that power is generated and transmitted to the swinging club in the downswing in the next section of this downswing chapter. The second purpose of the downswing process is to ensure that the clubshaft moves in space in the \"\"correct\"\" manner so that it will allow the golfer to produce an in-to-square-to-in clubhead swingpath through the impact zone. If a golfer learns how to keep the clubshaft \"\"on plane\"\" during the downswing, while shallowing the clubshaft plane, then it will allow the clubhead to approach the ball along a shallow inside track, and eventually move in-to-square-to-in through impact."

It's origins can be traced back to 300 A. D. and today there are many forms of this sport. Ten-pin bowling is one of most commons forms and both amateur and professionals play it around the world. Ten-pin involves rolling a ball down an alley towards ten pins that are set up in a triangular formation. In regulation rules, the alley is made of polished wood and measures 41 to 42 in. wide and 60 ft. from the foul line to the head pin. The pins are plastic-covered maple, 15 in."

By learning the bowling four step approach, you will build consistent footwork and be well on your way to developing a good bowling approach. This article will address the footwork used in a four step approach. Good bowling footwork begins by understanding and focusing on important keys which will help you develop a consistent approach to the foul line. Here are three keys to the four step approach: 1. Steps – Place your feet so your bowling shoe toes are pointing slightly toward your target and in the same direction. Spread your bowling shoes perhaps one or two boards apart for balance and stability and with your slide shoe an inch or two ahead of your balance leg shoe and set most of the body weight, perhaps 65% of your weight, onto the foot you are not beginning your first step with in your approach to the foul line. This technique can help transition your first step smoothly and at a consistent pace each delivery.

"text": "In position 4:4, you go with the slide and follow-through. After the fourth step, you should continue through the release and follow-through without hesitation. As the ball starts down during the fourth step, your right foot should slide sideways in back of the left leg. Simultaneously, you should “sit down” or lower your hips slightly and position your weight slightly back so you end up in a comfortable sitting position with the lower body and the spine tilted 15 degree forward. If you can count the 4 steps, you can get good timing and become a really good bowler. You want to avoid early timing and late timing. Early timing is where the ball gets to the foul line way before your foot. Late timing occurs when your foot gets there before your swing. You may want to record yourself bowling and see whether you have good timing. Some people prefer the 5 step approach where they get a little baby step with their left foot to help them get started and get their body in motion, but ball does not move."

"text": "Lessons in Ball Reaction, Pt 1Posted by Luke Rosdahl On October 11, 2013 5 Comments True bowling ball reaction is hard to see and even harder to explain. Bowling is highly conceptual and intuitive, and reading ball reaction may be the greatest example of this. Sometimes it requires examining the subsequent stages of ball roll and/or pin carry to identify earlier characteristics. For example, you may have to watch how the ball rolls in the midlane and transitions on the backend to identify if the ball is having trouble getting through the heads, or is getting through them too easily. A soft backend reaction may be the result of the ball not gripping or revving in the midlane early enough rather than issues with the backends themselves. Poor ball reaction may be attributed to the ball itself or the condition, rather than the possibility that you’re playing the wrong area of the lane. There are a myriad of reasons for why a ball is doing what it’s doing, and this often makes correctly identifying ball reaction extremely difficult. Incorrect diagnosis is common, and can critically impact decisions on adjustments during the set, and subsequent ball purchases or surface adjustments. Errors in reading reaction are quickly apparent, and unfortunately sometimes they can be expensive. If you believe your ball isn’t hooking and you make a surface adjustment to a more aggressive grit when it’s actually already burning up, your ball reaction will get even worse."

When I started my website in February 2007, I wrote a number of chapters on different phases of the modern day, total body golf swing (traditional/conventional golf swing). My golf instructional opinions were primarily derived from the teaching of traditional golf instructors such as David Leadbetter, Jim Mc Lean, and the \"\"Swing Like A Pro\"\" authors. During the past few years, my knowledge of golf swing mechanics/biomechanics has increased exponentially and I harbor a whole series of new insights, that contradict my previously expressed opinions. I have expressed my \"\"new\"\" insights in many new review papers, but I was reluctant to make major revisions to my basic chapters, because the required work-effort is so labor-intensive. I occasionally added short addendums to my original backswing chapter, which alerted readers to the fact that I have changed my recommended approach, but that advice forced readers to read a number of different review papers to learn about my \"\"new\"\" insights regarding the backswing action. In this *major revision of my backswing chapter, I have expressed all of my \"\"new\"\" insights using a totally different descriptive approach. (* Readers, who are interested in reading my original backswing chapter, can access my original backswing chapter by clicking on the hyperlink)In my original backswing chapter paper, I mainly focused on describing the different positions a golfer must pass through when using an one-piece takeaway, and I also focused my attention on recommendations that would allow a golfer to avoid an OTT move (and out-to-in downswing clubhead path). Another section of my original backswing chapter dealt with backswing factors that could increase swing power - based on Jim Mc Lean's X-factor theory. I presently do not believe in the validity of the X-factor theory, and I will describe a totally different conceptual approach to thinking about the backswing action."

"text": "\"Avoiding the Inside Takeaway Yes, we amateur golfers hear over and over again that we should swing inside-out and not over-the-top (OTT). In an unconscious effort to achieve this, we often roll the wrists and bring the hands and club inside too quickly, often well below the waist, during the takeaway. This often leads to the very thing we're trying to avoid--an OTT move that is unconsciously utilized to get the club back on line and hit the ball. The result is often pulls and pull-hooks for better players who can close the club face well; for others who can't, it produces a slice. Another symptom of this condition is a very narrow swing arc going back, with the right elbow bending too early and getting too close to the right side. The right elbow will drop into the right side coming down; it's no help to you there early. Incorrect: club too inside One should always ensure that the clubhead stays outside of the hands for as long as possible, when viewing the takeaway down the line. In other words, the clubhead should only move inside somewhere in the upper trunk area--around the right shoulder. If it moves inside at waist level or even below, the club is being jerked inside by the hands and/or the right elbow is bending too early. The right elbow should ONLY FULLY bend late in the backswing."

"text": "Top 10 Bowlers by Strike Rate in Modern Test Cricket0 of 12Gallo Images/Getty Images The regularity of a bowler taking a wicket is measured by the strike rate, and it is a fairly good indicator of how potent a player is in Test match cricket. The measure rewards bowlers who manage to get batsmen out on a routine basis, regardless of the number of runs they concede while doing so. Looking back over the history of modern Test cricket, which bowlers have had the lowest, and therefore best, strike rates? Which individuals have taken a lot of wickets in a very short space of time? Let’s take a look. All statistics courtesy of ESPN Cricinfo. Limitations1 of 12Getty Images/Getty Images Firstly, the strike rates of bowlers from the early history of Test cricket in the 19th and early 20th centuries are very low. This is due to the quality of the pitches matches were played on being very bowler-friendly, so individuals like George Lohmann and J. J. Ferris took full advantage of this. To try and get around this, we will look at only the last 50 years of Test matches, an era when pitches improved and thus allowed a more even contest between bat and ball. Secondly, the use of strike rate as the key statistic does not reward bowlers who concede very few runs while taking their wickets."

If you think of a racquet as a pendulum, swing weight relates to the distribution of weight along that pendulum, and will generally connect to how heavy the frame feels in your hand when you swing it. While swing weight is an objective measure, players report different amounts of sensitivity to it when tested. Together, all of the empirical measures can give an experienced tennis player some idea of what the racquet will be like. However, there are so many factors that affect a racquet’s feel and performance that there is no real way to know whether you’ll like a racquet without first trying it. Here are some of the things you can look at, and what they mean. Weight (Also often referred to as “pickup weight” or “static weight”): This is the actual measure of weight/mass when the racquet is placed on a scale. Most are somewhere between 8 and 15 ounces (225 and 425 grams). Balance: This is a measure of how heavy the racquet is at one end (handle) versus the other (head). Balance can be expressed either in terms of distance from the butt of the racquet (in cm or inches), or in so-called balance points of distance from the middle of the frame."

"text": "\"Drilling Top Weight / CG Position Blems with Powerhouse Blueprint Date Posted: December 3, 2011Category: Blueprint Tutorials Share: Tweet A very common topic in the bowling internet forums is the drilling of bowling balls with unique undrilled static imbalances. This includes balls with unusually high or low top weights, unusually long or short pin-to-CG distances, and unusual center of gravity (CG) locations (such as those that are not located along the line from the pin to the mass bias locator), all caused by natural manufacturing process variation. These conditions are usually found on discounted \"\"blems\"\" or \"\"x-out\"\" balls, often purchased online by bowlers looking for a good deal. This article will explore the ways in which Powerhouse Blueprint can make the drilling of such balls much easier on the pro shop operator. Definitions Before we begin, we'd like to establish a few definitions regarding an undrilled ball's static imbalance so that there is no confusion going forward. First off, most bowling ball manufacturers specify two parameters on the ball's box relating to undrilled static imbalance: Pin-out distance: This is the distance of the CG mark to the pin. This is often listed as a range of distances, such as 2\"\"-3\"\" or 4\"\"-5\"\". Top weight: This is the magnitude of the static imbalance, usually listed in ounces. For asymmetrical bowling balls, there is a third parameter that is necessary to describe the undrilled static imbalance, and that is the location of the CG relative to the pin / mass bias marker line. This is often not listed on the ball's box, but must instead be measured on the ball itself."

[ 1] Photo shows him getting ready to face a delivery. In the sport of cricket, batting is the act or skill of hitting the cricket ball with a cricket bat to score runs or prevent the loss of one's wicket. Any player who is currently batting is denoted as a batsman, regardless of their particular area of expertise (though see special senses in 'Terminology' below). Batsmen have to adapt to various conditions when playing on different cricket pitches, especially in different countries: therefore, as well as having outstanding physical batting skills, top-level batsmen will have lightning reflexes, excellent decision-making and be good strategists. During an innings two members of the batting side are on the pitch at any time: the one facing the current delivery from the bowler is denoted the striker, while the other is the non-striker. When a batsman is out, he is replaced by a teammate."

Ideal Bowling Ball Speed If you are unsure what is the ideal bowling ball speed, then you should follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturers the United States Bowling Congress' (USBC) recent Ball Motion Study regarding optimum ball speed. The facts are that the ideal bowling ball speed is about 17 miles per hour (mph) measured at impact with the pins and about 21 mph when the ball is released onto the lane, plus or minus one mph tolerance. If we use the Pro Bowlers as examples of ball speed measurements, we find that bowlers delivering a bowling ball less than 16 mph at impact with the pins are not as effective in pin carry and in generating consistent ball motion as those who deliver the ball at 17-19 mph. Most Pro Bowlers will release the ball anywhere from 20-22 mph at the release point and will impact the pins at 17 or 18 mph.

The same is true with a ball speed less than 16 mph at impact with the pins. It is, therefore, a wise practice to try and match relative ball speed ranges used by the professionals to help you produce successful results. Typically, a bowling ball takes about 2.5 seconds elapsed time, plus or minus o.15 seconds, to contact the pins at an instantaneous velocity of 16.5 mph. It should be pointed out, however, that elapsed travel time varies in accordance with three common factors: 1."

Share File photo credit: Sport SGMASTER YOUR BOWLING TECHNIQUE (1): THE THROWNo matter your bowling style, the key to bowling a high score is consistency, consistency, consistency. Professional bowlers train for hours every day to build a routine – from their stance, to their footwork, to their swing and finally the eventual release – leaving lane conditions and pin positions as the only variables. Once you go into a routine, bowling a high score can be boiled down to three main factors: building muscle memory, perfecting your aim, and adjusting for the variables. Building a Bowling Routine Every bowler has a different routine to his or her game. While most of it is physical, many bowlers also have unique quirks to prepare themselves mentally and focus for their shot. A pre-shot routine is a set of actions that you do before you throw the ball. Typical pre-shot routines include drying your hands, wiping the ball, taking slower breaths etc. When you watch the pros, try to take note of what they do before each shot."

Noah Syndergaard pitching for the New York Mets Robert Gsellman pitching for the New York Mets In baseball, the pitcher is the player who throws the baseball from the pitcher's mound toward the catcher to begin each play, with the goal of retiring a batter, who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the pitcher is assigned the number 1. The pitcher is often considered the most important player on the defensive side of the game, and as such is situated at the right end of the defensive spectrum. There are many different types of pitchers, such as the starting pitcher, relief pitcher, middle reliever, lefty specialist, setup man, and closer. Traditionally, the pitcher also bats. Starting in 1973 with the American League and spreading to further leagues throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the hitting duties of the pitcher have generally been given over to the position of designated hitter, a cause of some controversy. The National League in Major League Baseball and the Japanese Central League are among the remaining leagues that have not adopted the designated hitter position."

One can easily tell which amongst all the vehicles, that are moving in the same direction on a same road at any instant of time, is moving faster.

"text": "\"Click on any of the hyperlinks to rapidly navigate to another section of the review: Homepage (index); overview; address setup ; backswing; downswing ; impact; followthrough-to-finish Introduction Ben Hogan, in his book [1], stated that \"\"golf begins with a good grip\"\". This admonition has been echoed by virtually all golf instructors, who uniformly emphasise the importance of a good grip as being the fundamental keystone of a good golf swing. Why do all golf instructors place major emphasis on a good grip? In the modern, total body golf swing, where the rotating torso is the major power generator of the golf swing, the arms and hands are flung around, and in front, of the rotating body during the downswing. The major function of the hands is to hold firmly onto the golf club - the hands should be thought of as simply being \"\"clamps\"\" that firmly hold onto the club while the club is swung through the impact zone. The hands should not actively manipulate the golf club during the impact zone. David Leadbetter states \"\"that one should think of the hands as conductors through which the speed and power created by the turning motion of your body is transferred to the clubhead\"\" [2]. In this photo of Aaron Baddeley near-impact, note that the clubface is approaching the ball so that it will become square to the ball-target line at the time of impact. Aaron Baddeley - from reference number [3]The primary function of the hands is to hold onto the clubshaft in such a manner that the clubface will be allowed to become square to the ball-target line at the time of impact, and this feat is best accomplished if the hands are in the neutral position (palms facing each other across the clubshaft, while being square to the target). Consider the fact that the clubhead may be travelling at >100 mph at the time of impact. At such a high velocity, the golfer cannot possibly make small hand adjustments during the late downswing to correct for small imperfections in the alignment of the clubface as the clubhead nears impact, and the golfer has to rely on a good grip that will always allow the clubface to become square to the ball-target line at impact."

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities ( energy transformation ).

Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies all of the organic compounds and most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Plants, unlike animals, do not get food by eating other organisms (as always in nature, there are exceptions: carnivorous plants such the Venus fly trap ). They make their own food, usually in the form of glucose, from the inorganic compounds [?] carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is taken in through the leaves, and water is taken in mainly through the roots. Sunlight acts as the energy needed to run the reaction that yields glucose as the product the plant needs and oxygen as a waste product that is released into the environment. In green plants and algae, the pigment molecules that initially absorb the light energy are chlorophyll and various carotenoids [?]. Bacteria contain various other pigments. It may be noted that the typical colors of photosynthetic organisms (green, brown, golden, or red) result from the light that is not absorbed by the pigment molecules. The typical overall chemical reaction of photosynthesis is:6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + light → C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) + 6O 2In simple English terms, this is carbon dioxide plus water plus light (energy) yields oxygen plus sugar."

"text": "Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the life processes performed by most living organisms to obtain usable energy from nature. While photosynthesis is performed by most plants which can prepare their own food, most animals fulfill their energy requirements through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy, so as to create energy-rich carbohydrate molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules to obtain energy and store it in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. Plant cells, after creating sugar molecules through photosynthesis, undergo cellular respiration to create ATP molecules. Animals obtain food molecules from plants and other organisms, and then undergo cellular respiration to obtain ATP molecules. All living organisms utilize these stored ATP molecules to carry out their metabolic processes. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis takes place in the cells of plant leaves. It occurs in structures called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll. The plant cells absorb light from the sun through the pigment chlorophyll, and using water and carbon dioxide obtained from the environment."

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Photosythesis is the means autotrophic organisms use to secure solar energy in the form of glucose. Cellular respiration, however, is the means by which this stored energy is released. The equations are exacty backwards of each other. Photosythesis requires carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight, and results in oxygen and glucose. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose, and forms the products of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy). Anonymous · 1 decade ago7 0 Comment Photosynthesis And Respiration Answers Source (s):https://shorte.im/a9Pdirapose · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight; and the end-products are oxygen and (energy rich) carbohydrates, for example sucrose and starch. This process is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life depends on it. It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, phytoplankton, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria."

"text": "\"Photosynthesis Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Maslov Dmitry No chemical process is more important to life on Earth than photosynthesis —the series of chemical reactions that allow plants to harvest sunlight and create carbohydrate molecules. Without photosynthesis, not only would there be no plants, the planet could not sustain life of any kind. In plants, photosynthesis occurs in the thykaloid membrane system of chloroplasts. Many of the enzymes that allow photosynthesis to occur are transmembrane proteins embedded in the thykaloid membranes. What then is the chemistry involved? The most basic summary of the photosynthesis process can be shown with a net chemical equation6CO 2 (g) + 6 H 2 O (l) + hν → C 6 H 12 O 6 ( s ) + 6O 2 ( g )The symbol hν is used to depict the energy input from light (in the case of most plants, sunlight). This chemical equation, however, is a dramatic simplification of the very complicated series of chemical reactions that photo-synthesis involves. It also implies that the only product is glucose , C 6 H 12 O 6 ( s ), which is also a simplification. Still, take a moment to look at this chemical equation. If one were to guess where the various atoms in the reactants end up when products are produced, it would be reasonable to suggest that the oxygen atoms in the O 2 ( g ) were those originally associated with carbon dioxide."

"text": "\"Difference Between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Posted on July 8, 2011 by admin Photosynthesis vs Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both cellular processes organisms use to obtain energy. Photosynthesis converts the light energy obtained from the sun into chemical energy of sugar and oxygen, whereas cellular respiration is a biochemical process by which cells obtain energy from the chemical bonds of food molecules. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both key processes for life. Oxygen is a by-product of Photosynthesis and is important to all living beings. Sugar and carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis are the simplest form of food that could be processed by living organisms to obtain energy. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis occurs in photoautotrophs, which refers to their ability to produce their own food. Photoautotrophs include plant, algae and some forms of bacteria excluding archaea. Photosynthesis involves a set of chemical reactions, where Carbon dioxide and water are converted and released as glucose and oxygen to the atmosphere with the help of light energy. The following equation is the most common form of summarizing photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide (6 CO 2) + Water (6 H 2 O) —-converted with help of light energy -→ Sugar (6 (CH2O) + Oxygen (6 O2sugar)Even though the process of photosynthesis may vary in different forms of life, there are a few key features that are similar. Photosynthesis happens when light energy is absorbed by proteins (photosynthetic reaction center)."

"text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Reference: What Is Photosynthesis? By Aparna Vidyasagar, Live Science Contributor | July 31, 2015 06:42pm ETMOREPhotosynthesis takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Credit: KPG_Payless | Shutterstock Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. Oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H 2 O) to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which produces carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO 2 is \"\"reduced,\"\" or receives electrons, and the water becomes \"\"oxidized,\"\" or loses electrons. Ultimately, oxygen is produced along with carbohydrates. Oxygenic photosynthesis functions as a counterbalance to respiration; it takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. In his 1998 article, “ An Introduction to Photosynthesis and Its Applications ,” Wim Vermaas, a professor at Arizona State University surmised, “without [oxygenic] photosynthesis, the oxygen in the atmosphere would be depleted within several thousand years."

"text": "Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the life processes performed by most living organisms to obtain usable energy from nature. While photosynthesis is performed by most plants which can prepare their own food, most animals fulfill their energy requirements through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy, so as to create energy-rich carbohydrate molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules to obtain energy and store it in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. Plant cells, after creating sugar molecules through photosynthesis, undergo cellular respiration to create ATP molecules. Animals obtain food molecules from plants and other organisms, and then undergo cellular respiration to obtain ATP molecules. All living organisms utilize these stored ATP molecules to carry out their metabolic processes. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis takes place in the cells of plant leaves. It occurs in structures called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll. The plant cells absorb light from the sun through the pigment chlorophyll, and using water and carbon dioxide obtained from the environment."

Pinus palustris -- Pearson Creek (it will take some time to understand this; read deliberately and understand what you have read before going on to the next paragraphs)Photosynthesis is defined as the formation of carbohydrates in living plants from water and carbon dioxide (CO2). It is the most important chemical pathway (series of chemical reactions) on our planet. Almost all of the biomass on Earth was initially created by photosynthesis. Each year 100 quadrillion (or 10 to the 17th) Kilocalories (K.cal.) of useful energy are produced by photosynthesis (about 100 times more energy than is consumed by burning of fossil fuels). At least half of the photosynthesis in the world takes place in oceans, lakes and rivers, brought about by many different microorganisms that constitute the phytoplankton. All organisms on Earth can be classified on the basis of two fundamental physiologic requirements: (A) Energy source: (1) use sunlight for energy: Phototrophs. ( 2) use chemical compounds for energy : Chemotrophs (B) Carbon source: (1) source is CO2: Autotrophs. ( 2) source is chemical compounds: Heterotrophs Chemoautotrophs (use chemical compounds for energy and CO2 for carbon) -- bacteria (some) Chemoheterotrophs (use chemical compounds for both energy and carbon) -- animals Photoaututrophs (use sunlight for energy and CO2 for carbon) -- plants and photosynthetic bacteria Photoaututrophs utilize sunlight for energy and CO2 for their carbon source by this process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS whereby sunlight is absorbed by a complex compound known as chlorophyll and converted to energy which drives a series of chemical reactions that ultimately removes hydrogen from water or other compounds and then combines the hydrogen with carbon dioxide in a way that produces sugars."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:58Overview This is a quick tutorial on the mediastinum. The mediastinum is the central compartment in the thorax. It contains a lot of important structures. The mediastinum separates the pleural cavities. The pleural cavities are the structures that contain the lungs. The lungs are lined by pleura and the pleural form the pleural cavities. You can see the lungs on either side and the medial wall of these pleural cavities forms the lateral wall of the mediastinum. Read more The mediastinum is one of these things in anatomy that has different borders – lateral borders, posterior, anterior, superior and inferior borders to define it. The lateral borders of the mediastinum are made up by the medial aspect of the pleural cavities."

Victims for protective custody included those who were both physically and mentally ill, gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews and anyone against the Nazi regime. “ Gypsies were classified as people with at least two gypsy great grandparents.” By the end of 1933 there were at least fifty concentration camps throughout occupied Europe. “ At first, the camps were controlled by the Gestapo (police), but by 1934 the S. S. (Hitler’s personal security force) were ordered, by Hitler, to control the camps.” Camps were set up for different purposes. Some for forced labor, others for medical experiments and, later on, for death/ extermination. Transition camps were set up as holding places for death camps. “ Henrick Himmler, chief of the German police, the Gestapo, thought that the camps would provide an economic base for the soldiers.”"

Anti-Zionism is opposition to Zionism. The term is broadly defined in the modern era as the opposition to the ethnonationalist and political movement of Jews and Jewish culture that supports the establishment of a Jewish state as a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel (also referred to as Palestine, Canaan, or the Holy Land ). Anti-Zionism is also defined as opposition to the modern State of Israel as defined as a Jewish and democratic state. The term is used to describe various religious, moral and political points of view, but their diversity of motivation and expression is sufficiently different that \"\"anti-Zionism\"\" cannot be seen as having a single ideology or source. There is also a difference between how it is discussed philosophically and how it is enacted within a political or social campaign. [ 1] Many notable Jewish and non-Jewish sources take the view that anti-Zionism has become a cover for modern-day antisemitism, a position that critics have challenged as a tactic to silence criticism of Israeli policies. Others, such as Steven M. Cohen, Brian Klug [2] and Todd Gitlin, see no correlation between the two. ["

But that some viewers felt insulted and betrayed because the movie did not depict \"\"reality\"\" as it really was or is, is not fair. I must concur with my fellow proponents of the movie -- it was a great and very satisfying movie. It provided me with something that everyone in one or another shape or form needs -- Hope. The movie showed the cruelty of life and yet managed to shed some light and insight into the beauty of love and life in general. I urge anyone who has not seen La Vita è bella to go out there and watch it. If we all take with us just little bit of that hope and love that this movie is trying to convey; this world would be a much better place.

The debate about the origins of the Holocaust is known as Functionalism versus intentionalism. Intentionalists such as Lucy Dawidowicz argue that Adolf Hitler planned the extermination of the Jewish people as early as 1918, and that he personally oversaw its execution. However, Functionalists such as Raul Hilberg argue that the extermination plans evolved in stages, as a result of initiatives by bureaucrats who were responding to other policy failures. The debate has settled to a large degree as historians have conceded that both positions have merit. The primary responsibility for the Holocaust rests on Hitler, and the Nazi Party leadership, but initiatives to persecute Jews, Gypsies, and others were perpetrated by the Schutzstaffel (SS), the German military, ordinary German citizens, as well as by collaborationist members of various European governments, including their military personnel and civilians alike. A host of factors contributed to the environment under which atrocities were committed across the continent, ranging from general racism (including anti-semitism), religious hatred, blind obedience, political opportunism, coercion, human avarice, and xenophobia.

Very few people have good solid reasons for believing even the perfectly mundane and certainly true things they accept. The average person accepts that matter is made up of atoms, but has no idea why this is true, what the competing hypotheses would be and why the atomic theory is better, etc. Moreover the average person, despite accepting the atomic theory, likely has serious misconceptions about what it actually means for matter to be made of atoms. I'm in a similar position regarding most historical events. There is no way I could prove, say, that Charlemagne forcibly Christianized parts of Europe, or even that Charlemagne was a real person. Moreover, despite the fact that these are all uncontroversial facts which I accept, I very likely have numerous glaring misconceptions about the context surrounding them.

The Holocaust, also known as Ha-Shoah (Hebrew: השואה ), Khurbn (Yiddish: חורבן or Halokaust, האלאקאוסט) or Porajmos (Romani, also Samudaripen ), is the name applied to the genocide of minority groups of Europe and North Africa during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators. [ 1]Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 8, 1938 and November 9, 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, leading to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The Jews of Europe were the most numerous of the victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis called the \"\"Final Solution of the Jewish Question\"\" ( die Endlösung der Judenfrage) or \"\"the cleaning\"\" ( die Reinigung ). It is commonly stated that approximately six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, though estimates by historians using, among other sources, records from the Nazi regime itself, range from five million to seven million. Millions of other minority members also perished in the Holocaust. About 220,000 Sinti and Roma were murdered (some estimates are as high as 800,000) — between a quarter to a half of their European population."

The Holocaust stands out so vividly because it was so recent and also because it was so well documented. Through film footage and meticulous records, we have been witnesses to the Germans’ methodical mass-murder and their complete abandonment of compassion. As to the shameful scar left upon western civilization, there is no question. However, a few questions do remain. Why was the Nazi party so attractive to the German people? Were the people of Germany seduced by Hitler’s incredible charisma and hypnotized by the Nazi’s relentless propaganda, or were they generally following their own desires? If they were following their own particular desire as a nation, what was the source of that desire which led to such brutality? The Nazi Party was attractive to the majority of the German people because Hitler and his party proposed a solution to nearly every problem that was facing the various segments of the population. For example, the Party agenda addressed the problem of Germany’s loss of WWI."

"text": "\"A Bright Room Called Day --- Concept Information THEATRE AND RE-MEMBERING THE HOLOCAUSTThe Oregon State University Holocaust Memorial Week has a history of including a theatrical performance along with the series of lectures and guest speakers. Past productions include The Diary of Anne Frank, Just One More Dance, and Kindertransport. These theatre events enhance the Memorial Week by providing another means of communicating the Holocaust. Theatre as a medium offers a unique means of going beyond remembering the history and events surrounding the Holocaust to re- membering them, literally enacting them and embodying them on a public stage. Holocaust plays can serve as powerful and thought-provoking gestures to encourage the audience to not just remember but to re-member this history. In the 1999 essay for American Theatre, \"\"Expressing the Inexpressible,\"\" Rachel Samantha Rebetz wrote of Holocaust theatre that \"\"a respectful silence may seem more appropriate, but how can it help us remember what happened, what can happen, what is still happening? Art - including theatre - keeps the Holocaust present in the minds of those who did not experience it.\"\" An ever-growing genre of Holocaust drama can serve the history, the survivors, and the victims in the way Rebetz suggests. While all Holocaust dramas have the potential to re-member the Holocaust, different plays enact the events, the message, and the audience's responsibility in different ways and through different means. An autobiographical survivor play such as Charlotte Delbro's poetic narrative Who Will Carry the Word?is a vastly different gesture of remembrance than Leah Goldberg's Zionist neo-Gothic romance Lady of the Castle or Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett's dramatization of The Diary of Anne Frank."

"text": "\"Print Leaflet Feedback Share »Imperialism and the political economy of the Holocaust By Nick Beams 12 May 2010This lecture was delivered at San Diego State University on April 29. It was the eighth in a series entitled \"\"Killing for a higher cause: Political violence in a world in crisis\"\" sponsored by the Institute on World Affairs within the Political Science Department of the San Diego State University. It is now almost seven decades since Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime initiated their program for the mass murder of all European Jews. Our sense of the enormity of this crime has not diminished with the passing of time. On the contrary, the significance of the Holocaust is underscored by events now unfolding—wars of imperialist and colonial aggression in the name of a “war on terror”, deepening rivalries between the major capitalist powers and a breakdown of the capitalist economic order recalling the crises of the 1930s out of which the Nazi regime arose. If these remarks appear controversial they are intended to be, because the Holocaust itself cannot be understood without penetrating the arguments and disputes that surround it—controversies that have contemporary political relevance. Let me begin, therefore, by pointing to some of the positions I will be seeking to refute in the course of my remarks. In 1996, the Harvard academic Daniel Goldhagen burst on to the scene with his book Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust. The Goldhagen thesis was that the Holocaust was the product of a deep-seated and murderous anti-Semitism lodged within the psyche and outlook of “ordinary Germans.” No investigation of the Nazi movement and its elevation to power was necessary, much less an examination of the social and economic processes that led to the Holocaust."

"text": "Zionist Ideology and Propaganda: In Israel, America, and Germanyby Kenneth Lewan / May 15th, 2008When we see how Zionist ideology is used and the purposes it serves in Israel, America and Germany, we can obtain a better understanding of the deplorable situation in each case and perhaps some improvements. Theodor Herzl, the leading ideologist and organizer of the Zionist movement, wrote in his book Der Judenstaat which was published in 1895: “No nation in history has had to endure such struggles and suffering as ours … because of old prejudices lying deep down in the soul/minds ( Gemüt) of all other nations … And the longer it takes before they appear the more ferocious they break out. Our only hope for escaping the persecutors is a state for a Jewish nation.” 1Herzl’s assertion about the unique suffering of Jews and the prejudices of all other nations cannot be empirically confirmed, but that was not his concern. His interpretation of Jewish history was likely to convince many Jews and encourage them to take part in the struggle for a state. Many others would pay lip service to the ideology because they shared Herzl´s goal. The first task for the movement was to convince Jews that they were a nation and hinder the assimilation that was underway. The leaders of the movement came out strongly for the colonization of Palestine, a beautiful country where the inhabitants were to a considerable extent well-off and could rest their claim to the land on the fact that it had been inhabited by Arabs for more than 1000 years. Herzl and the later leaders of the movement asserted that all or almost all of the indigenous people would have to leave their country. The likely outlook on life of the Jews who became convinced of this ideology was mistrust, insecurity and fear of non-Jews."

The president of iran thinks it didnt, so now \"\"all muslims believe that\"\" according to some people.412envy · 1 decade ago12 0 Comment Asker's rating The answer would be that some Muslims do not believe in, or deny the extent of, the Holocaust. but then that applies just as well to some Christians, Jews or any other religious, and non-religious, people who make statements denying, minimizing or flat out stating that the Holocaust did not occur. There has been a lot of press coverage of Iranian President Ahmadinejad and his \"\"International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust\"\", a forum many have said was designed to minimize the Holocaust. There was also great controversy over the Muslim Council of Britain's decision to boycott the Holocaust Memorial Day events in Britain. The Council wanted a World Holocaust Day to include all victims of holocausts, and particularly highlighting the plight of the Palestinian people. This boycott from 2001-07 fed the erroneous belief that all Muslims denied or did not believe in the Jewish Holocaust."

"text": "\"Rudolf Hoess the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, is hanged next to the crematorium at the camp, 1947Rudolf Hoess on the gallows, immediately before his execution, 1947. Rudolf Hoess (Rudolf Höss) was the architect and commandant of the largest killing center ever created, the death camp Auschwitz, whose name has come to symbolize humanity’s ultimate descent into evil. On 1 May 1940, Hoess was appointed commandant of a prison camp in western Poland. The camp was built around an old Austro-Hungarian (and later Polish) army barracks near the town of Oswiecim; its German name was Auschwitz. Hoess commanded the camp for three and a half years, during which he expanded the original facility into a sprawling complex known as Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. After visiting Treblinka extermination camp to study its methods of human extermination, Hoess, beginning on 3 September 1941, tested and perfected the techniques of mass killing that made Auschwitz the most efficiently murderous instrument of the Final Solution. He improved on the methods at Treblinka by building his gas chambers ten times larger, so that they could kill 2,000 people at once rather than 200. He commented: “still another improvement we made over Treblinka was that at Treblinka the victims almost always knew that they were to be exterminated and at Auschwitz we endeavored to fool the victims into thinking that they were to go through a delousing process”. Hoess experimented with various methods of gassing. According to Eichmann’s trial testimony in 1961, Hoess told him that he used cotton filters soaked in sulfuric acid in early killings."

In many ways, the relationship between Vladek and his son is the central narrative in the book, and this narrative deals extensively with feelings of guilt. Of particular relevance in Maus is the guilt that is associated with the members of one's family. The primary types of familial guilt can be divided into three separate categories: 1) Art's feelings of guilt over not being a good son; 2) Art's feelings of guilt over the death of his mother; and 3) Art's feelings of guilt regarding the publication of Maus. The simplest form of guilt in Maus is Art's guilt over the fact that he thinks he has not been a good son to his father. Right from the first panel of Book I, we are told that the two of them do not get along particularly well, and that they do not see each other often, though they live fairly close by. Art is always on edge around his father, and when they speak it feels as if an argument could break out at any moment. Indeed, arguments often do break out over, for example, Art's dropping cigarette ash on the carpet, or Vladek's revelation that he has burned Anja's diaries from the war. Vladek often asks his son for help with errands around the house, and Art is always loath to comply. One of the most prominent examples of this situation occurs at the beginning of Chapter 5 of Book I, in which Vladek awakens his son early in the morning to ask for help fixing a drain on his roof."

The real motivation for these attacks is continuing criticism of Israel for its murderous treatment of the Palestinians and its long-time objective of expelling them from Eretz Israel – the land of Israel – and seizure of their land and property. The Zionist attacks on critics of Israel, including devout Jews, has become increasingly venomous and bitter because of the success of the BDS movement – the Boycott, Divest and Sanction campaign – which requests companies and individuals not to have anything to do with organisations, commercial companies or goods from the occupied West Bank. The BDS campaign has itself come under attack, and is being reviled and criminalised by the American authorities for its supposed anti-Semitism. In this piece from Secular Talk, Kyle Kulinski discusses New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s signing of an executive order which requires state authorities to sever any connections with organisations and companies supporting the BDS campaign. He attacks it as intolerant and anti-Semitic, and claims that this will help the Israeli people in their struggle for freedom and democracy. Kulinski points out that this is the exact opposite of the truth. Far from struggling for freedom and democracy, Israel is an apartheid state that denies freedom to its Palestinian citizens. He also repeats the point that you can criticize a religion or ideology, without attacking its people. You can and should be able to criticise Zionism without being anti-Semitic, just as criticising Islam does not mean that you want the persecution of its people."

The main reasons are; for centuries Germany had been an anti-Semitic country Jews were used as scapegoats for German problems. Also centuries of Nazi persecution caused the Holocaust in particular 1933 -1939 as well as Adolf Hitler and his racist views which influenced thousands of Germans. The Main reason for the holocaust happening was that Germany had been anti-Semitic for many centuries, and during those centuries the anti-Semitism had gradually got worse. Therefore because this was becoming a racial war, this was an opportunity for Germany to 'cleanse' itself of Jews like it should have done centuries ago. With Hitler being Anti-Semitic and a strong leader for the Nazi party, Anti-Semitism was influencing the minds of ordinary German civilians. Adolf Hitler had previously been in prison before he became ruler of Germany in his second attempt. During the time he was in prison, he wrote a book called 'Mien Kamph' his book was incredibly racist and anti -Semitic, Hitler expressed his hatred for the Jews and influenced his readers into hating these 'impure' people. ... read more."

Carbohydrates are made up of sugars known as saccharides. Most carbohydrate foods contain many saccharides linked together, which are known as polysaccharides. Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth and is complete when the polysaccharides are broken down into single sugars, or monosaccharides, which can be absorbed by the body. In the Mouth Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth. The salivary glands in the mouth secrete saliva, which helps to moisten the food. The food is then chewed while the salivary glands also release the enzyme salivary amylase, which begins the process of breaking down the polysaccharides in the carbohydrate food. In the Stomach After the carbohydrate food is chewed into smaller pieces and mixed with salivary amylase and other salivary juices, it is swallowed and passed through the esophagus."

One thing we can do is to chop it up and build a fire (use it for energy) and we can build up a woodpile for when we feel cold (energy storage). Another thing we can do is build a house with it, or a table and chairs (structural). Starch and Glycogen are \"\"woodpile\"\" polysaccharides, used as storage for glucose which is \"\"burned\"\" when the cell needs more ATP energy. Cellulose is also a polymer of glucose (like starch and glycogen) but is mostly structural, plants are largely made of cellulose as is cotton and paper. Animals that can digest cellulose (cows, goats, etc.) have to have some help from symbiotic micro-organisms because animals can't make the enzyme cellulase.

Glucose molecules are absorbed from intestinal cells into the bloodstream. The bloodstream then carries the glucose molecules throughout the body. Glucose enters each cell of the body and is used by the cell’s mitochondrion as fuel. Carbohydrates are in nearly every food, not just bread and pasta, which are known for “carbo loading.” Fruits, vegetables, and meats also contain carbohydrates. Any food that contains sugar has carbohydrates. And, most foods are converted to sugars when they are digested. Once an organism has taken in food, the food is digested, and needed nutrients are sent through the bloodstream. When the organism has used all the nutrients it needs to maintain proper functioning, the remaining nutrients are excreted or stored."

"text": "\"Carbohydrate digestion is complex, involving a system of enzymes and hormones. Digestion of carbohydrates is a complex process, beginning in the mouth and proceeding through the stomach and then into the small and large intestines. Along this digestive path, a variety of enzymes and hormones are secreted, each designed for a specific task. Collectively they work to break down starch into polysaccharides, then into disaccharides and finally into simple sugars, or monosaccharides. Fiber is also classified as a carbohydrate, however it is impermeable to the digestive action of enzymes and hormones. Salivary Amylase Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth when saliva is secreted as food is chewed. Salivary amylase, the first digestive enzyme, begins the work of cleaving starch into smaller molecules called polysaccharides. Maltose, a disaccharide, is also formed as a result. You can actually taste the sweetness that occurs from this enzymatic action if you hold a bite of starchy food, such as bread, in your mouth, rather than swallowing it immediately. Fiber is not responsive to enzymatic activity; it is only partially broken down by the physical act of chewing."

Anatomy of the Liver Gross Anatomy The liver is a roughly triangular organ that extends across the entire abdominal cavity just inferior to the diaphragm. Most of the liver’s mass is located on the right side of the body where it descends inferiorly toward the right kidney. The liver is made of very soft, pinkish-brown tissues encapsulated by a connective tissue capsule. This capsule is further covered and reinforced by the peritoneum of the abdominal cavity, which protects the liver and holds it in place within the abdomen. The peritoneum connects the liver in 4 locations: the coronary ligament, the left and right triangular ligaments, and the falciform ligament. These connections are not true ligaments in the anatomical sense; rather, they are condensed regions of peritoneal membrane that support the liver. The wide coronary ligament connects the central superior portion of the liver to the diaphragm. Located on the lateral borders of the left and right lobes, respectively, the left and right triangular ligaments connect the superior ends of the liver to the diaphragm. The falciform ligament runs inferiorly from the diaphragm across the anterior edge of the liver to its inferior border."

It is recommended that 55 to 60 percent of caloric intake come from carbohydrates. Chemical Structure Carbohydrates are a main source of energy for the body and are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen . Chlorophyll in plants absorbs light energy from the sun. This energy is used in the process of photosynthesis, which allows green plants to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen and allows for the production of carbohydrates. This process converts the sun's light energy into a form of chemical energy useful to humans. Plants transform carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the air, water (H 2 O) from the ground, and energy from the sun into oxygen (O 2 ) and carbohydrates (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) (6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 ).

"text": "Root vegetables are high in starch. Starch is a type of complex carbohydrate, which means that it’s made of long chains of sugars called polysaccharides. Foods high in starch, such as potatoes and some other tubers and root vegetables, are not as easily digested as simpler carbohydrates such as fruit, baked goods and pasta. Starch is only partially broken down in the mouth -- most of the digestive changes that happen to starch occur in your intestines. Saliva Saliva is a specialized fluid secreted from salivary glands near your mouth and tongue. Saliva is made primarily of water, but it also contains some mucus, electrolytes, antibacterial compounds and substances called enzymes. The enzymes found in saliva are needed to begin the digestion of carbohydrates, including starch, and fats. Saliva also functions as a lubricant, which helps chewed-up food slide down your esophagus and into your stomach, as well as a protectant for the delicate membranes that line your mouth and upper gastrointestinal system. A lack of saliva production, known as xerostomia or dry mouth, can significantly reduce digestive efficiency. Salivary Amylase The main enzyme in saliva is called salivary amylase, also known as alpha-amylase or ptyalin."

Carbohydrates consist of starch, sugars and some related substances such as sugar alcohols and organic acids. Carbohydrates are carbon compounds that contain large quantities of hydroxyl groups. The simplest carbohydrates also contain either an aldehyde moiety (polyhydroxyaldehydes) or a ketone moiety (polyhydroxyketones). All carbohydrates can be classified as either monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that act as the primary biological means of storing or consuming energy, other forms being fat and protein.

The term is also used for the pay received for this time. Normal hours may be determined in several ways:by custom (what is considered healthy or reasonable by society),by practices of a given trade or profession,by legislation,by agreement between employers and workers or their representatives. Most nations have overtime labour laws designed to dissuade or prevent employers from forcing their employees to work excessively long hours. These laws may take into account other considerations than the humanitarian, such as preserving the health of workers so that they may continue to be productive, or increasing the overall level of employment in the economy. One common approach to regulating overtime is to require employers to pay workers at a higher hourly rate for overtime work. Companies may choose to pay workers higher overtime pay even if not obliged to do so by law, particularly if they believe that they face a backward bending supply curve of labour."

"text": "\"Federal Law Restricts The Use Of Compensatory Time By Employers Editor’s Note: This article by Nicholas J. D'Ambrosio, Jr., from Business Council member firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC first appeared in the Capital District Business Review in June 2000. It remains a timely topic for private sector businesses and a reminder of the inaction of our federal elected officials. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that non-exempt employees be paid at a rate of one and a half times the employee's regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. However, the act allows public sector employers to offer employees compensatory time (time off from work) instead of overtime pay when an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek, as long as certain conditions are met. For instance, the compensatory time may only be offered to employees pursuant to an agreement, such as a collective bargaining agreement or an employment agreement, and public sector employees may not be allowed to accumulate more than 240 hours (or 320 hours for certain public safety, emergency response and seasonal activity employees) of compensatory time before the employee must be compensated monetarily. To the surprise of many, however, the act does not provide for the use of compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay for private employers, even when both employer and employee prefer compensatory time. Private employers may offer employees compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay only through use of a formal \"\"time off\"\" plan. Under a time off plan, an employee who works over 40 hours in a workweek must be given one and one half hours off for every hour worked over 40 hours in a workweek, and the employee must take the time off within the same pay period during which the employee worked over 40 hours in a workweek. For instance, if an employee is paid every two weeks, and works 50 hours in the first week, the employer could give the employee 15 hours off during the second week instead of paying the employee overtime for the 10 hours he or she worked. As can be seen, however, a time off plan generally is not feasible."

Application of Section 7 (k) of the FLSAUnder section 7 (k) of the FLSA (29 U. S. C. 207 (k)), an employer may cover employees performing law enforcement activities under special overtime provisions in lieu of the standard provisions in section 7 (a) of the FLSA. Instead of determining overtime pay on a weekly basis, it may be determined over a longer period of up to 28 days. ( Generally, FLSA overtime pay for Federal law enforcement employees under section 7 (k) would be applied on a biweekly basis, if a weekly basis is not used. ) Instead of a 40-hour weekly overtime threshold, the weekly overtime threshold is 42.75 hours (or 85.5 hours if a biweekly period is used). Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations provide information on which activities qualify as \"\"law enforcement activities\"\" and which employees qualify as \"\"law enforcement employees\"\" for FLSA purposes. ( See 5 CFR 551.216. ) OPM regulations provide that FLSA section 7 (k) applies only to law enforcement employees who-receive a special type of premium payment-namely, AUO pay under 5 U. S.

But I still don’t understand the difference between Exempt and non-Exempt. Is there a simple way to differentiate between Exempt and non-Exempt? Unfortunately, no, there is no simple way. It’s often believed that a non-exempt employee is defined as one paid per hour worked not on a salary basis. This is not always true. Non-exempt means that an employee is subject to the overtime and minimum wage requirements prescribed by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Conversely, exempt employees are excluded from overtime pay provisions. Hourly paid or salaried are terms referring to payment methods. The FLSA establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards."

"text": "\"The Mysteries of Comp Time Revealed About the author Diane Juffras View Other Posts This entry was posted on February 22nd, 2013 and is filed under Compensation & Benefits, Employment . The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires all employers to pay employees time-and-one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours over 40 that employees work in a given week, unless an employee satisfies the FLSA’s salary basis test and one of either the executive, administrative or professional duties tests. Employees who meet the requirements of these tests are called “exempt employees” (that is, exempt from the FLSA’s overtime requirements) and need not be paid overtime if they work in excess of 40 hours in a week (for how to determine whether an employee is exempt or nonexempt under the FLSA, see my article here ). The FLSA (at section 207 (o)) allows government employers an alternative way to compensate nonexempt employees for hours worked in excess of 40 that it does not allow private-sector employers: use of compensatory time-off or, as it is more commonly known, comp time. Comp time allows public employers to provide paid time-off in lieu of the cash overtime. When a government employer uses compensatory paid time-off instead of cash overtime, the time-off must be credited at the rate of one and one-half hours of compensatory time for each hour of overtime work — just as the cash rate for overtime is calculated at the rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. It is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act for an employer to compensate a nonexempt employee for overtime hours with hour-for-hour comp time. See here for the U. S. Department of Labor’s comp time regulation. This post addresses common issues related to the use of comp time by government employers. Deciding to Use Comp Time Public employers may use comp time instead of cash overtime for all employees or for only some employees."

Premium Pay Essentials Overtime work generally falls into two categories: regularly scheduled overtime work, and irregular or occasional overtime. Compensatory time is in lieu of payment for irregular or occasional overtime work. You can only earn compensatory time for regularly scheduled overtime if you are on a flexible work schedule. In that case, you can chose to earn compensatory time off for the irregular or occasional or regularly scheduled overtime work instead of overtime payment. Certain compensatory time policies are established by operating unit heads, so you may find that different parts of Commerce have different policies. For example, one operating unit may limit the number of hours that you may earn while another may not. Regularly Scheduled Overtime Work This is overtime that is scheduled by management before the week in which it is worked.

Key points Workers should usually receive the same pay while they are on annual leave as they normally receive while they are at work. All types of overtime, including voluntary, must be included when calculating a worker's statutory holiday pay entitlement, apart from overtime that is only worked on a genuinely occasional and infrequent basis. Commission should be factored into statutory holiday pay calculations. Work-related travel may need to be factored into statutory holiday pay calculations. A worker's entitlement to holiday pay will continue to accrue during sick leave and maternity or parental leave. There are different rules for calculating holiday pay depending on the working patterns involved. Workers must take their statutory paid annual leave allowance and can only be 'paid in lieu' for this when their employment ends. General principle of holiday pay In general, workers should receive the same pay while they are on annual leave as they normally receive while they are at work. They should not be deterred from taking leave because they are paid less while they are on leave."

"text": "\"Police overtime payments - Extracts from an article published in The Independent. The amount of overtime being handed out to frontline officers raises questions about whether the country's police forces are adequately staffed, whether departments are being properly managed, and whether officers who regularly work 60 or 70 hours a week to top-up their pay can perform as effectively as they might otherwise. Many PCs are earning more than chief inspectors and superintendents – officers three and four ranks above them. The chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, Keith Vaz, described the findings as \"\"troubling\"\" and pledged that the committee would investigate. Police overtime is believed to cost the 43 police forces in England and Wales about £485m a year. It is paid at time-and-a-third to officers who stay on at the end of their shifts, time-and-a-half for those who agree to work rest days with fewer than five days notice, and double-time for those who work bank holidays. For officers to double their salaries, they would have to work at least 50 per cent more hours or, at most, 75 per cent more. So officers on a 40-hour week would have to work at least 60 hours, and perhaps 70 hours, to double their incomes. The starting salary of a PC in forces outside London last year was £22,105, rising to a maximum of £34,706 after 11 years' service. Salaries in London are given \"\"London weighting\"\" of about £8,000 meaning that the highest basic salary any Met PC could achieve is about £42,000."

Compensatory Time vs. Overtime Pay In some cases, under agency flexible work schedule programs, compensatory time may be given in lieu of overtime pay. This paid time off may be approved for employees, both salaried and wage employees, who are required to work extra hours under more flexible schedules. Comp time must be paid at the same rate as overtime pay - one and one-half hours of compensatory time for each hour worked. Failure to compensate an employee with identical rates is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Comp Time for Exempt Employees Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations, private sector employers can only give comp time if the time off is used in the same pay period the overtime occurred. The laws surrounding compensatory time vary between exempt and non-exempt employees. Employees are considered either exempt of non-exempt employees based on their job duties and responsibilities."

"text": "Working in New Zealand Salary and working hours New Zealand - Jobs Guide Forums Articles It’s usually quite easy to determine the salary you should command in New Zealand; jobs requiring skills and qualifications which are in demand often mean you can negotiate for a higher salary. There’s a marked difference between salaries in the major cities of Auckland and Wellington and in the rest of the country, in 2013 Wellington had the highest average national income (over $81,000). Nevertheless, the higher salaries in these major cities mean higher living costs also, in addition to the tendency for jobs there to carry more responsibility (i.e. stress). The term ‘negotiable’ is frequently used in job advertisements, which means that you will need to work hard to convince the employer that you deserve a high salary. However, if you have qualifications or skills that are in short supply, you may be able to negotiate an even higher salary. For example, the wool industry was thrown into turmoil when shearers began flocking to Australia in their hundreds in search of higher pay, and the Shearing Contractors’ Organisation was forced to raise pay rates by 20 per cent. A national minimum wage in New Zealand is currently $14.25 per hour, and for Starting-Out workers and trainees the minimum wage is $11.40 (in 2014). A recent survey carried out by Statistics New Zealand revealed that from 2013 to 2014, 50% of employees earned $25 more per week, this has been the largest annual rise in salary since 2007. The average hourly wage in 2014 in the private sector was $26.29 and $35.28 in the public sector. The lowest wages tend to be earned by hotel and restaurant staff as well as bar staff and waiters/waitresses."

Sometimes employers calculate the overtime rates improperly, by not including in the employee's regular rate compensation augments such as \"\"longevity pay,\"\" \"\"shift differentials,\"\" nondiscretionary bonuses (e.g., educational stipends). The issue here is \"\"time and one-half of what? \"\" Sometimes employers pay wages \"\"late.\"\" The rule is that FLSA wages must be paid \"\"when due,\"\" which normally means at the next regularly scheduled pay day. \"\" Late pay\"\" is generally the same as \"\"no pay\"\" under the FLSA.

"text": "Job Searching Career Advice List of U. S. Employment Laws What the Law Says About Wages, Work Safety, Discrimination, and More Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Alison Doyle Updated September 15, 2017The Department of Labor oversees and enforces more than 180 federal laws governing workplace activities for about 10 million employers and 125 million workers. The following is a list of employment laws that regulate hiring, wages, hours and salary, discrimination, harassment, employee benefits, paid time off, job applicant and employee testing, privacy, and other workplace and employee rights issues. Significant Employment and Labor Laws to Know The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulates health and safety conditions in private-sector industries to ensure that work environments do not pose any serious hazards. Covered employers are required to display a poster in the workplace, outlining workers’ rights to request an OSHA inspection, how to receive training on hazardous work environments and how to report issues. The Fair Labor Standards Act determines wage and overtime pay of one-and-one-half-times the regular rate of pay. It also regulates child labor, limiting the number of hours that minors can work. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) oversees employer's pension plans and the necessary fiduciary, disclosure and reporting requirements. ERISA doesn’t apply to all private employers, and doesn’t require companies to offer plans to workers, but it does set standards for plans, should employers choose to offer them. The Family Medical and Family Leave Act requires employers with more than 50 employees to give workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for the birth or adoption of a child, for the serious illness of the employee or a spouse, child, or parent, or for emergencies related to a family member’s active military service, including childcare requirements. If the active servicemember becomes seriously ill or is injured in the course of their duties, coverage may be extended for up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave during a 12-month period."

D. and Janeen Mc Intosh NERA Economic Consulting By Dr. Denise Martin, Dr. Stephanie Plancich, and Janeen Mc Intosh 1Introduction In wage and hour litigation, current and/or former employees allege unpaid work, including unpaid overtime, failure to provide meals and/or rest breaks, and off-the-clock work. Cases may be brought under state law or under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These cases may result in civil settlements or verdicts, as well as in back wages and penalties levied by the Department of Labor (DOL). In this study, we track trends in civil settlements of wage and hour cases. We found that, in 2012, companies continued to pay substantial amounts to settle lawsuits involving allegations of wage and hour violations. We identified total wage and hour settlement payments of $467 million in 2012, bringing the aggregate amount paid over the past six years to approximately $2.7 billion. A relatively steady number of identified cases settled before trial each year, with 102 in 2012 and a total of 446 over the last six years. On average, companies paid $4.8 million to resolve a case in 2012, up slightly from the $4.6 million observed in 2011, but lower than the overall average of $7.5 million for the 2007 to 2012 period."

The low back is formed by 5 lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum. Each vertebrae articulates with the one above and below it in a precise fashion that helps to maximize function. The bones are covered by periosteum, which is innervated and thus generates pain if inflamed (see below). The vertebrae are separated by discs, which allow for smooth, cushioned articulation."

Palpation is the process of using one's hands to examine the body, especially while perceiving/diagnosing a disease or illness. [ 1] Usually performed by a health care practitioner, it is the process of feeling an object in or on the body to determine its size, shape, firmness, or location (for example, a veterinarian can feel the stomach of a pregnant animal to ensure good health and successful delivery). Palpation is an important part of the physical examination; the sense of touch is just as important in this examination as the sense of sight is. Physicians develop great skill in palpating problems below the surface of the body, becoming able to detect things that untrained persons would not. Mastery of anatomy and much practice are required to achieve a high level of skill. The concept of being able to detect or notice subtle tactile signs and to recognize their significance or implications is called appreciating them (just as in general vocabulary one can speak of appreciating the importance of something)."

"text": "Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) in Dogs27 Aug, 2015 Dr. Douglas Brum 118,560 Views Share Overview of Canine Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), or cystic hyperplasia, is an age related change of the prostate where the prostate increases in size. This increase in size, or hyperplasia, is a non-cancerous change that generally does not cause clinical problems. BPH is the most common disease of the prostate, and occurs in almost all intact male dogs as they age. The increase in size is caused by hormonal changes in the ratio of androgens, like testosterone, and estrogens. Most dogs act normal, but if there is a very large amount of prostatic hyperplasia, a dog might become symptomatic. What to Watch For Signs of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) in Dogs may include: Straining to defecate Intermittent or persistent bloody urine Intermittent bloody or clear yellow discharge from the penis Even if a dog is showing symptoms, he usually feels fine. Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) in Dogs History and physical exam including digital rectal exam Urinalysis Culture and sensitivity Cytologic (microscopic) evaluation of seminal or prostatic fluid Abdominal radiographs (x-rays)Clotting profile Abdominal ultrasound with or without prostatic aspiration – inserting a needle and syringe into the tissue and obtaining a small sample for cytologic analysis – or biopsy Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) in Dogs No treatment is needed if the dog is asymptomatic Neutering Estrogen therapy Ketoconazole (Nizoral®)Home Care and Prevention If your pet is asymptomatic, that is he has no clinical signs, observe for symptoms associated with an enlarging prostate. If he’s neutered, any clinical signs previously present should improve significantly within a few weeks. If the treatment involves neutering, the incision should be monitored for any swelling or discharge. If medical management is attempted, careful monitoring of clinical signs and blood tests will be needed."

The recognition of cutaneous metastases often dramatically alters therapeutic plans, especially when metastases signify persistence of cancer originally thought to be cured. Some tumors metastasize with a predilection for specific areas. Recognition of these patterns can be useful in directing the search for an underlying tumor. Primary tumors The breast, skin, stomach, lungs, uterus, large intestine, and kidneys are the most frequent organs to produce cutaneous metastases. Cancers that have the highest propensity to metastasize to the skin include melanoma (45% of cutaneous metastasis cases) and cancers of the breast (30%), nasal sinuses (20%), larynx (16%), and oral cavity (12%)."

This natural wonder is made possible as a result of primary and secondary sexual characteristics that develop at birth and during puberty, respectively. In males, there are a group of accessory reproductive organs that facilitate the process of reproduction. The prostate gland will be the accessory reproductive organ of focus for this article (for completion, the other two are the bulbourethral glands and the seminal vesicles). The gross and histological anatomy of this structure will be reviewed in addition to its neurovascular supply and some clinically relevant points.

Structure Prostate (green)The prostate gland is a six-sided amalgamation of glandular and fibromuscular tissue that resides in the pelvic cavity. The typical dimensions of a healthy prostate gland are 4 x 3 x 2 cm (its width being the greatest), while weighing about 20 grams. The gland is encapsulated by a true internal connective tissue capsule and a false external capsule, which is a continuation of the pelvic fascia. Its base sits at the neck of the urinary bladder, surrounding the proximal portion of the urethra."

Explain to the patient what you are going to do (and why) and then proceed. If they have not already done so, ask the patient to remove their underwear. I believe that this examination is easier to perform and yields more information if it is done with the patient standing while you are seated in front of them. In this position, it is easier to examine the testes, evaluate for inguinal hernias and perform the rectal exam. However, if the patient is unable to stand/unsteady on their feet, it can be performed while they lie on the exam table."

Operational definitions can range from very simple and straightforward to quite complex, depending on the nature of the variable and the needs of the researcher. Operational definitions should be tied to the theoretical constructs under study. The theory behind the research often clarifies the nature of the variables involved and, therefore, would guide the development of operational definitions that would tap the critical variables. Clearly Stating the Operational Definition There is an old saying that you can never be too rich. When it comes to operational definitions, you can never be too detailed. The more clearly you specify the procedures, the more likely that the procedures will be carried out precisely and the more likely that researchers who attempt to replicate your work will use the same procedures. Even for simple things, it it best to specify procedures in detail. For example, if you want to weigh people in a study, you could just say \"\"weigh them.\"\" That procedure seems obvious on the surface, but how do you guarantee that the scale is working properly (standardizing the measure) and what should you have your participants wear when they are being weighed."

S. presidential election in less than a month. Even if you are aware of it, you may be reluctant to get involved or just not sure where to start. I wouldn’t dream of suggesting that you vote for one candidate over the other, but I would like to make a few suggestions for getting in on some of that political action.1. Start with your own paperwork I’m always surprised to find out how many people aren’t registered to vote. Even if you’ve gotten the necessary paperwork in to your county board of elections, you will probably need to confirm that the paperwork went through if you really want to vote on November 4. On top of that, you’ll want to know where your polling place is and the local hours. The easiest way to find out all of this information is to get on to your county board of elections’ website: what information isn’t prominently displayed on the website is available through the phone number also displayed online.2. Get involved in the process I know plenty of people who have volunteered for one campaign or the other, but there is one organization that really needs involvement in order to make sure that elections go off without a hitch: the county board of elections. Specifically, it seems like almost every county still needs election judges for the upcoming vote. Qualifications are simple — in most states, polling places are required to be run by an equal number of Democrats and Republicans."

The reports are intended for advocates or legislators who want to ensure our justice system works for everyone, not just those with enough money to donate.

"text": "\"Home Resource Centre A History of the Vote in Canada A History of the Vote in Canada A History of the Vote in Canada Chapter 2 From a Privilege to a Right 1867–1919At Confederation, the British North America Act stated that control of the federal franchise would remain a provincial matter until Parliament decided otherwise. The provinces were still developing more or less independently, each with its own character rooted in its traditions, demography and geography. Inevitably, these differences were reflected in the provincial electoral laws that were to determine who could vote in federal elections for the first two decades of Confederation. A Federal or a Provincial Matter It was 1885 before Parliament took action. The Conservatives under Sir John A. Macdonald had been unable to reach consensus on a single set of voting eligibility criteria, while the Liberals, who supported a decentralized federation, wanted eligibility to remain under provincial control. In 1885, however, Macdonald's government finally succeeded in having a law passed that gave Parliament control of the right to vote. The provinces regained control 13 years later, however, under a Liberal government led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. As a result, in 10 of the 13 federal general elections held between 1867 and 1920, the electorate varied from province to province, with eligibility determined by provincial law. The original colonies continued to adopt or adjust their electoral laws to meet their needs and circumstances. In addition, not long after Confederation, Canada experienced a huge territorial expansion that produced new provinces and territories, each of which adopted its own electoral legislation, adding further to interjurisdictional diversity in the electorate."

[ 1] [2] [3] In some languages, and occasionally in English, the right to vote is called active suffrage, as distinct from passive suffrage, which is the right to stand for election. [ 4] The combination of active and passive suffrage is sometimes called full suffrage. [ 5]Suffrage is often conceived in terms of elections for representatives. However, suffrage applies equally to referenda and initiatives. Suffrage describes not only the legal right to vote, but also the practical question of whether a question will be put to a vote. The utility of suffrage is reduced when important questions are decided unilaterally by elected or non-elected representatives. In most democracies, eligible voters can vote in elections of representatives. Voting on issues by referendum may also be available.

[ 1] If n % of the electorate support a particular political party, then roughly n % of seats will be won by that party. [ 2] The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result: not just a plurality, or a bare majority, of them. The most prevalent forms of proportional representation all require the use of multiple-member voting districts (also called super-districts), as it is not possible to fill a single seat in a proportional manner. In fact, the implementations of PR that achieve the highest levels of proportionality tend to include districts with large numbers of seats. [ 3]The most widely used families of PR electoral systems are party list PR, the single transferable vote (STV), and mixed member proportional representation (MMP). [ 4]With party list PR, political parties define candidate lists and voters vote for a list. The relative vote for each list determines how many candidates from each list are actually elected. Lists can be \"\" closed \"\" or \"\" open \"\"; open lists allow voters to indicate individual candidate preferences and vote for independent candidates. Voting districts can be small (as few as three seats in some districts in Chile or Ireland) or as large as a province or an entire nation."

Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. ( Winston Churchill, November 11, 1947)Figure 1: The County Election (detail) by George Caleb Bingham. The conduct of elections has changed in many ways over the past 200 years. The extent of these changes is nicely illustrated by a comparison of today's voting practices with those illustrated in George Caleb Bingham's painting, The County Election (Figure 1). In addition to being a noteworthy artist, Bingham was a successful politician; this painting shows a polling place on the steps of the courthouse in Saline County, Missouri, in 1846. In this painting, we see the judge (top center) administering an oath to a voter."

A doctorate (from Latin docere, \"\"to teach\"\") or doctor's degree (from Latin doctor, \"\"teacher\"\") or doctoral degree (from the ancient formalism licentia docendi) is an academic degree awarded by universities that is, in most countries, a research degree that qualifies the holder to teach at the university level in the degree's field, or to work in a specific profession. There are a variety of doctoral degrees, with the most common being the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D), which is awarded in many different fields, ranging from the humanities to the scientific disciplines. In the United States and some other countries, there are also some types of vocational, technical, or professional degrees that are referred to as doctorates in their home countries, though they are not technically doctoral level as they are not research degrees and no defense of any dissertation or thesis is performed. Internationally, however, the use of doctor to refer to these degrees is not universally accepted. Many universities also award honorary doctorates to individuals who have been deemed worthy of special recognition, either for scholarly work or for other contributions to the university or to society.

"text": "\"Related Articles1Job Description of a Judge2Steps to Become a Judge3Three Skills That Are Needed to Become a Judge4Qualifications to Become a Federal Judge Family court judges preside over family courts, where domestic cases such as divorce, child custody, abuse and neglect are heard. In most cases, family courts do not have juries and the judge is in a unique position of ensuring that a fair case is held. Family court judges have to meet a variety of educational and certification requirements. Additionally, most judges are elected or appointed to their positions, which means being able to run a political campaign and garner political support. In 2010, the median pay for judges was $91,880 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Education Family court judges need a four-year undergraduate degree first. While there is no specific major required for aspiring judges, it is beneficial to focus on topics that relate to family legal matters such as family and child psychology. Most states require a law degree for judges, for which you must pass the law school entrance exam and typically undergo about three more years of schooling. You’ll increase the likelihood of becoming a judge if you graduate from a law school approved by the American Bar Association. Training Most judges train and seek to improve their prospects of getting a coveted judgeship appointment by spending years working as an attorney while building political connections."

"text": "\"Legal Careers Legal Education/Training How to Get Certified as a Paralegal Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Sally Kane Updated February 21, 2018The American Bar Association defines certification as “a process by which a non-governmental agency or association grants recognition to an individual who has met certain predetermined qualifications specified by that agency or association.” Certification usually involves passing an examination established by the sponsoring organization and meeting specified educational and/or experiential requirements. Presently, certification for paralegals is a voluntary process; no mandatory examination for legal assistants exist in the United States. However, the certification issue has been a subject of considerable interest and debate for the past several years among paralegal organizations, bar associations, and state legislatures. A paralegal certification demonstrates to employers a commitment to the profession and a mastery of certain skills and knowledge necessary to the field. Skills and knowledge tested by certification examinations include an advanced knowledge of legal procedure, ethics, and substantive law as well as research, communication and writing skills. Many paralegals obtain professional designations after they have gained a few years’ experience in the field. While certification is not a prerequisite to paralegal employment, it may enhance your professional credibility, employment prospects, and income potential. Below is an overview of several common paralegal certifications. National Association of Legal Assistants Issuing Body: The National Association of Legal Assistants, Inc. (NALA), headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began sponsoring a certification examination (Certified Legal Assistant) in 1976."

Online 22Download In Illinois and twenty other states, appellate-level judges are elected by popular vote. 1 While this method of determining who will become a reviewing-court judge is not inherently problematic, there has been a decades-long outcry to reform the selection process in the Land of Lincoln and in many other jurisdictions. 2For years, critics have argued that merit selection of judges would produce “an independent, impartial and able judiciary” 3 and that the election of judges is, among other things, “bad for business.” 4 Within the past decade, experts and voters alike have also criticized the influx of “outside money” into campaigns and the increasingly negative tone to the advertisements that such outside money funds. 5Likewise, many scholars have written about the need for jurisdictions to adopt merit-selection procedures. Some have asserted that such a change is necessary to remove money (campaign contributions and PAC funds) from judicial selection. 6 Others have taken issue with requiring judges and judicial candidates to solicit campaign contributions. 7 Still others have been critical of requiring judicial candidates to campaign when most judicial canons of ethics prevent a judge from forecasting how he or she would rule on an issue that might come before them. 8 Finally, some have argued that the political election of judges and campaign contributions to candidates are impediments to a fair and independent judiciary. 9This article takes the debate in a new direction and looks at voter awareness and understanding of the job qualifications and duties of the justices 10 on Illinois’ intermediate and highest appeals courts."

"text": "Aminoglycosides: A Practical Review PRINT COMMENTSSHAREUIS S. GONZALEZ III, PHARM. D., and JEANNE P. SPENCER, M. D., Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, Pennsylvania Am Fam Physician. 1998 Nov 15;58 (8):1811-1820. Related Editorial Aminoglycosides are potent bactericidal antibiotics that act by creating fissures in the outer membrane of the bacterial cell. They are particularly active against aerobic, gram-negative bacteria and act synergistically against certain gram-positive organisms. Gentamicin is the most commonly used aminoglycoside, but amikacin may be particularly effective against resistant organisms. Aminoglycosides are used in the treatment of severe infections of the abdomen and urinary tract, as well as bacteremia and endocarditis. They are also used for prophylaxis, especially against endocarditis. Resistance is rare but increasing in frequency. Avoiding prolonged use, volume depletion and concomitant administration of other potentially nephrotoxic agents decreases the risk of toxicity."

PHARMACY BULK PACKAGE NOT FOR DIRECT INFUSIONTo reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Tobramycin for Injection USP and other antibacterial drugs, tobramycin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. WARNINGPatients treated with tobramycin for injection USP and other aminoglycosides should be under close clinical observation, because these drugs have an inherent potential for causing ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Neurotoxicity, manifested as both auditory and vestibular ototoxicity, can occur. The auditory changes are irreversible, are usually bilateral, and may be partial or total. Eighth-nerve impairment and nephrotoxicity may develop, primarily in patients having preexisting renal damage and in those with normal renal function to whom aminoglycosides are administered for longer periods or in higher doses than those recommended. Other manifestations of neurotoxicity may include numbness, skin tingling, muscle twitching, and convulsions. The risk of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss increases with the degree of exposure to either high peak or high trough serum concentrations. Patients who develop cochlear damage may not have symptoms during therapy to warn them of eighth-nerve toxicity, and partial or total irreversible bilateral deafness may continue to develop after the drug has been discontinued. Rarely, nephrotoxicity may become apparent until the first few days after cessation of therapy."

The recommendations are a consensus of the Endocarditis Working Group that analyzed the results of clinical trials in humans and studies of experimental endocarditis in animals. The group recognizes that these data are incomplete or inconclusive in some groups of patients. The recommendations presented in this report for the use of ceftriaxone, gentamicin, netilmicin or teicoplanin are based upon the results of relatively small clinical trials in humans or animal model studies of experimental endocarditis. Additionally, there are minimal clinical data published regarding the optimum regimens for the treatment of penicillin-, vancomycin- or aminoglycoside-resistant enterococcal endocarditis. The recommendations for treatment of patients with endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, S. pyogenes or group B, C or G streptococci are based on reports of treatment of a small number of patients, individual case reports, or results of experimental endocarditis treatment regimens. None the less, this report represents what the Subcommittee on Endocarditis believes to be reasonable and prudent recommendations for antimicrobial therapy of these patients. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT OF STREPTOCOCCAL ENDOCARDITISTable 1 presents general guidelines for the use of antimicrobial therapy in patients with streptococcal endocarditis. The dosages recommended are intended as initial therapy for adults with normal renal and hepatic function."

"text": "\"Home Celebs Penelope Cruz Penelope Cruz Powered by imdb Known outside her native country as the \"\"Spanish enchantress\"\", Penélope Cruz Sánchez was born in Madrid to Eduardo Cruz, a retailer, and Encarna Sánchez, a hairdresser. As a toddler, she was already a compulsive performer, re-enacting TV commercials for her family's amusement, but she decided to focus her energies on dance. After studying classical ballet for nine years at Spain's National Conservatory, she continued her training under a series of prominent dancers. At 15, however, she heeded her true calling when she bested more than 300 other girls at a talent agency audition. The resulting contract landed her several roles in Spanish TV shows and music videos, which in turn paved the way for a career on the big screen. Cruz made her movie debut in The Greek Labyrinth (1993) (The Greek Labyrinth), then appeared briefly in the Timothy Dalton thriller Framed (1992). Her third film was the Oscar-winning Belle Epoque (1992), in which she played one of four sisters vying for the love of a handsome army deserter. The film also garnered several Goyas, the Spanish equivalent of the Academy Awards. Her resume continued to grow by three or four films each year, and soon Cruz was a leading lady of Spanish cinema. Live Flesh (1997) (Live Flesh) offered her the chance to work with renowned Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar (who would later be her ticket to international fame), and the same year she was the lead actress in the thriller/drama/mystery/sci-fi film Open Your Eyes (1997), a huge hit in Spain that earned eight Goyas (though none for Cruz)."

Nonetheless, this sensitive, deeply religious youngster who was born in 1962 in Syracuse, New York, was destined to become one of the highest paid and most sought after actors in screen history. Tom is the only son (among four children) of nomadic parents, Mary Lee (Pfeiffer), a special education teacher, and Thomas Cruise Mapother III, an electrical engineer. His parents were both from Louisville, Kentucky, and he has German, Irish, and English ancestry. Young Tom spent his boyhood always on the move, and by the time he was 14 he had attended 15 different schools in the U. S. and Canada. He finally settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his mother and her new husband. While in high school, he developed an interest in acting and abandoned his plans of becoming a priest, dropped out of school, and at age 18 headed for New York and a possible acting career. The next 15 years of his life are the stuff of legends. He made his film debut with a small part in Endless Love (1981) and from the outset exhibited an undeniable box office appeal to both male and female audiences. Though below average height and not particularly handsome in the traditional sense, within 5 years Tom Cruise was starring in some of the top grossing films of the 1980s including Top Gun (1986); The Color of Money (1986), Rain Man (1988) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989)."

In 2013, she joined director Paul Haggis as one of the church's most famous defectors. She explained what drove her to give up the only religion she's known since she was five. Here's what we learned from her interview with 20/20 's Dan Harris. She was part of the Sea Organization. Remini's mother, Vicki, became a Scientologist when she was five and brought both her daughters into the Church. When Remini was a teen, she moved them down to Clearwater, Fla., to Scientology's headquarters. At that point, she and her sister Nicole stopped traditional schooling in the eighth grade and studied their faith full time and signed a billion-year contract to serve the Church (throughout every reincarnation). Later, both sisters faced ethics charges for getting involved with boys and narrowly avoided being sent into the Rehabilitation Project Force, the church's re-education camp."

The Box Office: Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation comes courtesy of Skydance Productions, Bad Robot, TC Productions, and Alibaba Pictures. As always, the distributor is Paramount/Viacom Inc. The Tom Cruise action thriller debuts Thursday night on around 3,800 locations, including around 400 IMAX screens. It is because of those valuable IMAX auditoriums that we’re getting this film so early. The picture was originally intended to open on December 23rd, 2015, but it was moved out of the way of Walt Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Generally, when a movie splits to avoid competition it ends up debuting later (Dream Works Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 3 moved from December 23rd to January 29th of next year), but this fifth Ethan Hunt caper instead moved up five months to July 31st. The prime reason for the date was access to IMAX screens, so it’s a little odd that Paramount didn’t screen it for us last night in IMAX, but I don’t want to complain. The film is budgeted at $150 million, or $10m more than Ghost Protocol and $10m less than Mission: Impossible III."

( Photo by Anthony Harvey/Getty Images)This Thursday night sees the debut of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation courtesy of Paramount/Viacom Inc. I’m seeing the movie tonight, so expect a review in the morning. There was a moment, however comparatively brief, when the Mission: Impossible series was basically one of the biggest franchises around. Moreover, the summer 2000 dominance of Mission: Impossible II marked basically the last time that a real-world, non-fantastical action movie not only dominated the summer but was remotely expected to. A lot has changed in fifteen years. But as excited as I am to finally see the film, it is the next film on Tom Cruise’s plate that has me most interested. It is Doug Liman’s Mena, in which the mega-star plays as a pilot who ends up working for the CIA in the 1980′s and gets tangled up in the war on drugs in varying capacities. It is not a sci-fi action movie or a franchise sequel."

The future actor was in fact a devout Catholic who even planned to become a priest and studied at a seminary. But he was thrown out of the strict religious school after stealing liquor from the monks who ran the institution, according to his best friend from the time. Mr Cruise, who was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, had a troubled upbringing thanks to his abusive father. He seems to have sought solace in the Roman Catholic Church, and was persuaded to apply to St Francis Seminary School in Cincinnati, Ohio by Father Ric Schneider, according to the Daily News. ' Tom was instantly hooked,' the priest said. ' I think he wanted a good education. With his parents going through a divorce, it was tough on him, that's maybe one of the reasons why he came here. ' The teenager just scraped his way into the seminary in 1976, scoring 110 on an IQ test - the minimum result needed for entry. Once he was there, he was not considered an outstanding student - but he did show signs of promise in the craft which would make him one of the world's biggest celebrities."

His mother's family, originally surnamed \"\"Fraga\"\", was entirely Portuguese, while his father was of mostly English ancestry. Tom grew up in what he has called a \"\"fractured\"\" family. He moved around a great deal after his parents' divorce, living with a succession of step-families. No problems, no alcoholism - just a confused childhood. He has no acting experience in college and credits the fact that he could not get cast in a college play with actually starting his career. He went downtown, and auditioned for a community theater play, was invited by the director of that play to go to Cleveland, and there his acting career started. Ron Howard was working on Splash (1984), a fantasy-comedy about a mermaid who falls in love with a business executive. Howard considered Hanks for the role of the main character's wisecracking brother, which eventually went to John Candy. Instead, Hanks landed the lead role and the film went on to become a surprise box office success, grossing more than $69 million."

"text": "Departed Slayer: Jeff Hanneman died of cirrhosis Published May 10, 2013 Associated Press Facebook Twitter Email This 2009 publicity photo provided courtesy of Slayer shows, from left, Dave Lombardo, Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman and Tom Araya. Hanneman, 49, a founding member of the heavy metal band Slayer, has died. Slayer spokeswoman Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald says Hanneman died Thursday morning, May 2, 2013, of liver failure at a Los Angeles hospital with his wife, Kathy, by his side. ( AP)Members of Slayer say Jeff Hanneman died of alcohol-related cirrhosis. ADVERTISEMENTThe guitarist died last week at a hospital in Hemet, Calif., at age 49. It was initially theorized that Hanneman's death might have had something to do with a suspected spider bite that led to a case of necrotizing fasciitis, nearly costing him his arm. The band disclosed Hanneman's cause of death on its website Thursday, and a publicist said Friday the determination was made by his attending physician. She did not know the doctor's name. The statement says Hanneman was not aware of the extent of damage to his liver until his last days. The band also says it is planning a public celebration of Hanneman's life later this month with details to come."

The fiberglass comes with no finish on it and somewhat of a white color. If you spent all your money on the fiberglass and suspension, many people decide to go without painting the fiberglass and leaving it a different color than the rest of the truck. It doesn’t look the best and the fiberglass is somewhat un protected, but it will suffice if you can’t afford a paint job. Project Off-Road Toyota awaiting a cheap paint job. Choosing a Paint Shop For quite a while now, Maaco has been the cheapest place to get your car or truck painted. With prices starting as low as $250, it was easy for me to choose them to paint our project truck. Other local body shops in my area wanted close to $2,000. Even with our location in rural Northeast Oregon we were able to find a couple different Maaco paint shops that were relatively close. And when I found out that either location could start on the truck the same day I called and have it done within a week, I was even more enticed."

"text": "After several years of trudging through the infertility treatment jungle, my husband and I started to research adoption as a possible option. In all honesty, we were tired and angry AND had huge doubts that adoption would “work.” We attended an adoption class through our local agency and that class truly changed us. We learned about adoption, met couples going through similar experiences and we left that class with hope, excitement and renewed energy. We. Had. A. Plan!Over the next several months, we completed the steps necessary to be added to our agency’s waitlist and just like that, WE WERE “ADOPTION PREGNANT”! We were elated and started to share our news with family and friends. Overall, people shared our excitement, but it became clear very quickly that there was going to be more to this than just sharing we were going to have a baby. We were going to have to help educate people on adoption."

Van Dyck's career flourished and he went on to become England's leading court painter. Using his own compositional techniques, van Dyck was soon ranked alongside Titian in terms of style and the relaxed elegance of his portraits helped shape English portraiture for almost two centuries. Anthony van Dyck was particularly well-known for redefining the iconographical style as well as his fresh approach to new color schemes. As well as portraits van Dyck also painted biblical and mythological subjects and was an accomplished etcher and engraver in his own right. He would often sketch his works as practise before executing the final version onto canvas. His etchings in particular show his great ability to define light and shadow contrasts and his dexterity in creating fine lines and detail to ensure a realistic rendering of the sitter. Anthony van Dyck Artistic Context Charles IAnthony van Dyck Flanders' art scene prospered during the 17th century and the country produced many talented artists who were in great demand across Europe. This heralded a new era in Counter-Reformation art as well as art from the Protestant North, as Flanders combined these tastes and styles. Anthony van Dyck was the next big artist after Rubens and one of his former students."

"text": "\"SLAYER's KERRY KING On JEFF HANNEMAN: 'You Can't Make An Addicted Person Get Better If They Don't Want To'July 13, 2015 0 Comments SLAYER 's Kerry King told Illinois Entertainer that he wrote the song \"\"Chasing Death\"\", from the band's upcoming \"\"Repentless\"\" album, after his longtime guitar tech, Armand Crump, overdosed and died in 2012. The track was penned partly in an effort to save fellow SLAYER co-founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman from alcoholism. \"\" There were some wake-up calls in there,\"\" King said. \"\" You know, we were trying to get Jeff on board. And he had literally cheated death when he had that arm injury. I don't think people know it was as bad as it was, but the doctor told him when he went in to work on him, 'First, I'm going to try to save your life.' We didn't know if he was going to live. And Jeff, he just... he got out of the hospital, and he lived clean for a while. I'm, like, 'Dude, you just cheated death. You got another shot at doing this all over again."

"text": "What is the cost of breast augmentation? The average cost of breast augmentation surgery is $3,719, according to 2016 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The average cost for removal of breast implants was $2,506 in 2016. If you are a breast augmentation candidate, please remember that costs can vary. The average fees referenced above do not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses. A surgeon's fee for breast augmentation surgery may vary based on his or her experience, the type and cost of breast implants used, as well as geographic office location. Many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans for breast augmentation surgery, so be sure to ask. Breast augmentation costs may include: Anesthesia fees Hospital or surgical facility costs Medical tests Post-surgery garments Prescriptions for medication Surgeon's fee When choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for breast augmentation, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery. Breast augmentation and health insurance Most health insurance plans will not cover cosmetic breast augmentation costs, related complications or another surgery to revise the appearance of your breasts. Some carriers even exclude breast diseases in patients who have breast implants."

A breast augmentation can also enlarge and reshape breasts that have lost their fullness or shape due to weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding or age.

Total Average Cost of Plastic Surgery in the United States Make Careful Note of the Following When Considering the Plastic Surgery Costs Listed Below or Anywhere: Prices, as listed below, include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee, and implant fee. When you call a plastic surgeon’s office to inquire about cost, be certain to ask if each of these fees are included. This is important, because often they will only tell you the surgeon’s fee, which makes up only 60-80% of the total cost. Then, when you schedule your appointment, see the plastic surgeon, and receive your quote, you may be in for sticker shock. Costs below are for procedures being performed in accredited hospitals, accredited surgery centers, or accredited plastic surgery offices. Do not try to cut costs by sacrificing safety and having your procedure performed in a non-accredited facility. Costs in the United States are surprisingly uniform from coast to coast. The only exception is the New York area, where you should expect to pay about 50% more than the prices quoted below."

"text": "\"The natural boob job: Fat transfer breast augmentation The natural boob job: Fat transfer breast augmentation Going under the knife has long been the most reliable way to really increase the size of your breasts but what about alternative implant-free options? Fat transfer breast augmentation is growing in popularity as it eliminates the need for implants by recyling fat from one part of your body to increase the size of your breasts. Fat transfer breast augmentation might sound like the ideal boob job - redistributing fat from your belly, legs or bum to the one place that you really want it - your breasts, but is it all that simple? And what kind of result can you expect from a fat transfer breast augmentation? We spoke to cosmetic consultant and plastic surgery guru Wendy Lewis, aka The Knife Coach, to find out more about this treatment and if it really works. What is a fat transfer breast augmentation? A fat transfer breast augmentation essentially uses liposuction to take fat from other parts of your body and inject it into your breasts. While fat transfer boob jobs are not as mainstream as implant methods they do offer women who want a natural-looking enlargement an option that's without the risks posed by implants (rupture, leaks, shifting). Wendy Lewis says: \"\"A fat transfer breast augmentation has different risks to implants, with implants you have different materials that can be used. Saline is less risky than silicone gel, but It's important to remember that silicone gel is one of the most studied medical devices in history and is FTA approved."

Here are seven super-strange facts…Breast Implant Removal Reviewed by Walter Erhardt, MDTweet When you first decided on breast augmentation surgery with implants, it likely never occurred to you that you would want — or even need — to have your breast implants removed down the road. Still, as many as 40,000 women do undergo breast implant removal surgery each year. Their reasons for breast implant removal vary. Revision breast augmentation due to cosmetic dissatisfaction is common. The same procedure is often used to address complications such as capsular contracture. Other reasons for breast implant removal may include anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), implant shifting, wrinkling, rupture, deflation or asymmetry. Some women may react adversely to the implant and develop an infection or bleed as a result. A breast cancer diagnosis can also necessitate breast implant removal, as can the presence of calcium deposits in the breasts. Breast Implant Removal: What Should You Expect?"

Paying with financing is a good option, but make sure your credit score is good because credit card companies are making it harder and harder to get loans, especially for plastic surgery.

"text": "The Cost of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Tweet If you're considering cosmetic surgery, cost should be one of the variables you're weighing in your pursuit of ageless beauty. The costs of plastic surgery vary greatly, depending on the type of procedure and your geographic location. Generally, the major costs involved are the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee and implant fee (if applicable). According to the newest figures available from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the national averages for plastic surgeon fees in 2010 were: Surgical Procedures National Average Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) $5,130Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) $2,828Breast augmentation $3,351Breast implant (s) removal $2,288Breast lift $4,207Buttock augmentation $4,500Buttock lift $4,379Calf augmentation $3,900Cheek implants $2,739Chin augmentation $2,000Facelift $6,231Forehead lift $3,161Gynecomastia (male breast reduction) $3,013Hair transplantation $4,676Lip augmentation (other than injectable materials) $1,683Liposuction $2,884Lower body lift $7,247Otoplasty (ear tuck) $3,054Pectoral implants $3,810Rhinoplasty (nose job) $4,306Thigh lift $4,507Upper arm lift $3,729Nonsurgical Procedures Botox injection $375Cellulite treatment (Velasmooth, endermology) $230Chemical peel $706Dermabrasion (not microdermabrasion) $1,200IPL laser treatment $470Laser hair removal $383Laser skin resurfacing – ablative $2,040Laser skin resurfacing – nonablative $1,156Laser treatment of leg veins $1,030Laser treatment of leg veins $404Microdermabrasion $146Sclerotherapy $354Soft tissue fillers: autologous fat $1,700Poly-L-Lactic acid (Sculptra) $940Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) $650Collagen, bovine/porcine (includes Zyderm, Zyplast) $468Collagen, human $475Hyaluronic acid $547Polymethyl methacrylate (Artecoll, Bellafill) $1,099NOTE: These plastic surgeon fees from ASPS are national averages and may differ significantly from the prevailing fees in your area. The figures represent physician/surgeon fees only and do not reflect additional fees for the surgical facility, anesthesia, medical tests, prescriptions, surgical garments or other miscellaneous surgery-related costs. The Variables of Plastic Surgery Cost Plastic surgery cost totals vary based on the treated area or areas. For example, the total average cost to have liposuction performed in one area of the body can be up to $4,000, in three areas between $6,000 and $8,000, and in five areas $8,000 to $11,000. The cost is higher for larger body areas. Plastic surgery costs also vary depending on overhead costs. The overall average cost of a facelift, for example, ranges from $6,000 to $15,000."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Beauty Cosmetic Surgery Breast Enlargement What is the cost of breast implant removal? Flag What is the cost of breast implant removal? Answer by Debra Poulsen Confidence votes 4There is no straightforward answer to this question, but removal of breast implants can be much more complicated and expensive than the original surgery, especially if one of the implants has broken. Some surgeons are very experienced at removal and are skilled at getting the best possible cosmetic result, so it may be worthwhile looking for a good removal surgeon rather than going for the cheapest you can find. Be wary of getting saline breast implants. The doctors don't tell you, but rupture is common. I have had mine \"\"Pop\"\" three times. The leak is usually slow. If you believe one or both of your breast implants are shrinking there is probably a rupture. I suggest going to the cosmetic surgeon who did the initial implants ( if you liked the result prior to the rupture)."

"text": "Breast Augmentation in India at Affordable Prices April 06, 2012How much does Breast Augmentation cost? Breast Augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures among women nowadays. 2010 and 2011 statistics produced by American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) clearly indicate breast augmentation to be one of the top five plastic surgery procedures in USA and UK. With the cosmetic surgery gaining popularity, the prices are also soaring in the western markets such as USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and many other European countries. It costs a fortune spending on breast augmentation in these countries, that’s why many –a – women from the west are heading to India for affordable breast implants. On comparing the prices of breast implants surgery among western countries and India, breast augmentation costs approximately £ 4,500 in the UK, about $7,500 in the USA, whereas breast augmentation costs $ 2450 in India (approx). Thus, breast augmentation costs less than a third in India as compared to what one has to pay in western countries. Breast Implants Surgery at Affordable prices in India Saline Implants The Saline implants have good durability. The most peculiar feature is that if they rupture, the content of the implants is assimilated by the body and eliminated in a natural way. The large volume of water is lost in a matter of hours and they can be replaced very easily."

Chances are it is not the condition of your heart or even the risk of cancer. Today, the greatest fear for people is that they may end their days slipping into dementia. The idea of losing control of one’s thoughts or being unable to remember loved ones causes understandable anxiety, and it happens to an increasing number of people. According to the Alzheimer’s Society there are already more than 800,000 people with dementia in the UK and that number is set to double over the next 35 years. Fears about becoming one of them has led to a surge of people turning up at dementia clinics. Figures published by the Royal College of Physicians earlier this month show there’s been a four-fold rise in the number of patients seeking help at these specialist centres.

When the digestive system breaks the vegetable down into smaller compounds, a distinct smell is produced. One such compound - mercaptan - is also found in rotten eggs, onions and garlic and has a potent sulphur-like odour. But whether or not an adult can recognise this smell in their urine is all down to their genes, scientists claim. Some 800 genes are now known to play a part in the odour recognition, according to a study led by Harvard University researchers. However, they say women are less likely detect the odour because they sit down to go to the toilet.+2The funny odour given off by asparagus comes about when our digestive system breaks the vegetable down into smaller compounds A group of US scientists from a range of universities conducted research on 6,909 men and women of European-American descent. Findings published in the British Medical Journal show that two fifths of participants agreed they could smell a distinct odour in their urine after eating asparagus. But three fifths could not - known as 'asparagus anosmia'. And men were more likely than women to be able to smell it."

"text": "\"How being vegetarian does more harm to the environment than eating meat By Fiona Macrae for the Daily Mail Updated: 19:26 EDT, 12 February 2010235View comments Switching from British-bred beef and lamb to imported meat substitutes such as tofu increases the need for cultivated land It is a claim that could put a dent in the green credentials of vegetarians: Meat-free diets can be bad for the planet. Environmental activists and vegetarians have long taken pleasure in telling those who enjoy a steak that livestock farming is a major source of harmful greenhouse gases. But research has shown that giving up meat may not be as green as it seems. The Cranfield University study found that switching from British-bred beef and lamb to meat substitutes imported from abroad such as tofu and Quorn would increase the amount of land cultivated, raising the risk of forests being destroyed. Production methods for meat substitutes can be energy intensive and the final products tend to be highly processed, the report, which was commissioned by the environmental group WWF, found. The researchers concluded: ‘A switch from beef and milk to highly refined livestock product analogues such as tofu could actually increase the quantity of arable land needed to supply the UK. Donal Murphy-Bokern, one of the report’s authors and a former co-ordinator at the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs told the Times: ‘For some people, tofu and other meat substitutes symbolise environmental friendliness but they are not necessarily the badge of merit that people claim. ’But Liz O’Neill, of the Vegetarian Society, said: ‘If you’re aiming to reduce your environmental impact by going vegetarian then it’s obviously not a great idea to rely on highly-processed products. ’A spokesman for the WWF said it was important to remember that livestock produce large amounts of methane, a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

One more thing which has gradually got more impressive as the series rolls on is the cars the Essex natives can be seen cruising around the streets of Brentwood in. If you’ve ever wondered what cars you can spot the TOWIE stars in, we run through a few of them here. Whilst the series started with the cast earning only £50 per episode, they’ve since become swamped with personal appearance and product placement offers, meaning they’re spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing what car they want to drive. Joey Essex’s Smart Car If there’s one thing you can rely on Joey Essex for, it’s to go against the grain. When he first came on to our screens as Essex’s loveable but simple Jack the lad, you’d probably have expected him to be driving a flash sports car. Joey Essex, however, had his very own Smart Car to impress the ladies with. Up until the last season that is, when he sold out and bought himself a Range Rover. Mr Essex is currently gracing us with his presence in the jungle, where we’ve learnt ‘he’s sick at counting’ and that he ‘never learnt to blow his nose’. The fact that he managed to pass his driving test is a miracle."

This is because they retain moisture for long periods of time - allowing the bacteria to survive - and are used in the kitchen and bathroom The recent study, from the University of Arizona, found coliform bacteria - bacteria present in faeces which can lead to outbreaks of food poisoning and diarrhoea - in 89 per cent of kitchen tea-towels and E. coli in 25.6 per cent of towels. The researchers said towels are more likely to be bacteria-ridden than other household items because they are used to wipe hand and surfaces that might have come into contact with raw meat products. Study author Charles Gerba said: 'You can cross contaminate food when you wipe your hands on a towel and then contaminate other foods or bring your hands to your mouth and infect yourself.

The writer and singer from North Lauderdale, Florida, was helping her daughter, Zoey, make Valentine’s Day cards for her classmates last year – adding gold glitter to make them seem extra special. But while cleaning up, a piece of glitter got lodged in the mother-of-two’s eye – and wouldn’t come out, triggering an infection. Such was the severity of the infection that Ms Diaz spent the next month in and out of the hospital – undergoing two failed corneal transplants and multiple injections into her eye. The 33-year-old even found herself close to death from sepsis - blood poisoning - as her body began to shut down. Ultimately, doctors could not save her eye – and it was removed on in March last year. Ms Diaz told Daily Mail Online: ‘I ended up stripped of all of the things that I thought made me beautiful, and I figured out that even as a chubby bald Cyclops I was still a beautiful woman, still a beautiful human. I'm thankful for it all in that way. ’+7 +7Erica Diaz (pictured left before the ordeal) was helping her eldest daughter make Valentine's Day cards in February last year when a piece of glitter got lodged in her left eye - and caused an infection.

Most bats are awkward on the ground, but the common vampire bat can bound along at more than 1 metre per second. Researchers made the discovery at a ranch in Trinidad, with five adult male vampire bats ( Desmodus rotundus ), which they caught using cows as bait. They put the bats on a treadmill inside a Plexiglas cage and recorded their movements with high-speed video. \"\" We knew they could hop and are very fast, but we weren't expecting this.

"text": "'Mother's little helper' returns as drug-takers use more Valium as cheap alternative to heroin By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 20:45 EDT, 2 September 2008View comments Valium: 1960s housewives' choice A tranquiliser once known as ‘mother’s little helper’ is experiencing a new surge in use, according to a drug information charity. Drug Scope said diazepam, which is better known under its defunct brand name Valium, was previously known for ‘ anaesthetising a generation of British housewives’ in the 1960s and 70s. Now young people and drug addicts are taking it illegally alongside alcohol to ease withdrawal from other drugs. Drug Scope, which said usage was rising in 15 out of 20 towns it surveyed, added it may also be used as a cheap alternative to heroin. Diazepam, nicknamed ‘blues’ or ‘vallies’, is available for as little as £1 a pill. In Valium’s heyday in the 1960s and 70s, it was prescribed in vast quantities by GPs. It is still prescribed in far smaller numbers for anxiety disorders, alcoholwithdrawal symptoms or muscle spasms. But the illegal drugs are being brought in from other European countries where it is readily available. Many of the smugglers are holidaymakers returning from France, Spain and Portugal. Police and Customs seizures of diazepam have rocketed from 300,000 pills in the three years to June 2006 to two million in the two years since, Drug Scope said."

The State University of New York study - which scientists carried out via survey rather than through practical experiment - compared the sex lives of 293 females to their mental health. It follows research which shows that seminal fluid contains chemicals that elevate mood, increase affection, induce sleep and also contain at least three anti-depressants. The researchers also claim that women who have regular unprotected sex are less depressed and perform better on cognitive tests. Semen contains another of chemicals along with spermatozoa, including cortisol, which is known to increase affection, estrone, which elevates mood and oxytocin, which also elevates mood. It also contains thyrotropin-releasing hormone (another antidepressant), melatonin (a sleep-inducing agent), and even serotonin (perhaps the best-known antidepressant neurotransmitter). Given these ingredients - and this is just a small sample of the mind-altering 'drugs' found in human semen - Researchers Gallup and Burch, along with the psychologist Steven Platek, hypothesised that women having unprotected sex should be less depressed than suitable control participants.

"text": "Rostow’s Modernization Theory of Development The paper will attempt to outline the five stages identified by Walt Rostow needed for a country to reach a modernized state and what role education plays at every stage and then will give a conclusion. Firstly it will define the key concepts such as education and modernization theory. Definition of terms According to Kelly (1999:2) education is defined as “an organized and sustained communication process designed to bring about learning”. The term modernization theory refers to a theory which states that development in developing worlds can be attained through following the processes of development that are used by currently developed nations (Rostow,1960). It is a social economic theory which is sometimes known as the development theory. It usually highlights the positive role played by those countries that are developed in modernizing and facilitating sustainable development in those countries that are less developed and it often contrasted to dependency theory. This means that for development to occur in underdeveloped countries there is need for developed countries provide aid to developing countries to enable them learn from their own progress. It looks at the state to be the central actor in bringing about modernization in societies that are backward. The theory also believes that underdeveloped countries could grow faster than developed countries and catch up and that it was possible for equal development to be reached between the underdeveloped and developed countries (Hollis and Robinson, 1986). Rostows theory of modernization development Therefore Walt Rostow postulated a five stage model of development that will be able to apply to all the countries."

Moving down to 3A might jump start their program with a longer playoff runs as they are a school with a lot of talented kids. Most people are talking about Stephenville. Kilgore, La Marque, but few have mentioned Yates in terms of having any success in football next year or many years after. They could be a sleeping giant!Yes a number of schools including El Campo could make some noise, but the three La Marque & Stephenville have 4a playoff sucess. Kilgore with exception of 2010 has always been a tradional playoff team so the sky the limit. Enrollment doesn't equal auto victory but can change the attitude.

Buddhism allows each individual the freedom to decide for himself all the issues pertaining to marriage. It might be asked why Buddhist monks do not marry, since there are no laws for or against marriage. The reason is obviously that to be of service to mankind, the monks have chosen a way of life, which includes celibacy.

Cooling towers are a special type of heat exchanger that allows water and air to come in contact with each other to lower the temperature of the hot water. During the cooling tower working process, small volumes of water evaporate, lowering the temperature of the water that’s being circulated throughout the cooling tower. In a short summary, the purpose of a cooling tower is to cool down water that gets heated up by industrial equipment and processes. Water comes in the cooling tower hot (from industrial process) and goes out of the cooling tower cold (back into the industrial process). Here we discover cooling tower functions and inner working of cooling towers for different applications."

"text": "Transcendentalism First published Thu Feb 6, 2003; substantive revision Sat May 6, 2017Transcendentalism is an American literary, political, and philosophical movement of the early nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other important transcendentalists were Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Amos Bronson Alcott, Frederic Henry Hedge, and Theodore Parker. Stimulated by English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Herder and Schleiermacher, and the skepticism of Hume, the transcendentalists operated with the sense that a new era was at hand. They were critics of their contemporary society for its unthinking conformity, and urged that each person find, in Emerson's words, “an original relation to the universe” (O, 3). Emerson and Thoreau sought this relation in solitude amidst nature, and in their writing. By the 1840s they, along with other transcendentalists, were engaged in the social experiments of Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Walden; and, by the 1850s in an increasingly urgent critique of American slavery.1. Origins and Character2. High Tide: The Dial, Fuller, Thoreau3. Social and Political Critiques Bibliography Academic Tools Other Internet Resources Related Entries1. Origins and Character What we now know as transcendentalism first arose among the liberal New England Congregationalists, who departed from orthodox Calvinism in two respects: they believed in the importance and efficacy of human striving, as opposed to the bleaker Puritan picture of complete and inescapable human depravity; and they emphasized the unity rather than the “Trinity” of God (hence the term “Unitarian,” originally a term of abuse that they came to adopt.)"

He synthesized early modern rationalism and empiricism, set the terms for much of nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy, and continues to exercise a significant influence today in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and other fields. The fundamental idea of Kant's “critical philosophy” — especially in his three Critiques: the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787), the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), and the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) — is human autonomy. He argues that the human understanding is the source of the general laws of nature that structure all our experience; and that human reason gives itself the moral law, which is our basis for belief in God, freedom, and immortality. Therefore, scientific knowledge, morality, and religious belief are mutually consistent and secure because they all rest on the same foundation of human autonomy, which is also the final end of nature according to the teleological worldview of reflecting judgment that Kant introduces to unify the theoretical and practical parts of his philosophical system.1.

History12/16/2011 Allen Mendenhall Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)Ralph Waldo Emerson is politically elusive. He's so elusive that thinkers from various schools and with various agendas have appropriated his ideas to validate some activity or another. Harold Bloom once wrote, \"\"In the United States, we continue to have Emersonians of the Left (the post-Pragmatist Richard Rorty) and of the Right (a swarm of libertarian Republicans, who exalt President Bush the Second).\"\" [ 1] We'll have to excuse Bloom's ignorance of political movements and signifiers — libertarians who exalt President Bush, really? — and focus instead on Bloom's point that Emerson's influence is evident in a wide array of contemporary thinkers and causes. Bloom is right that what \"\"matters most about Emerson is that he is the theologian of the American religion of Self-Reliance.\"\" [ 2] Indeed, the essay \"\"Self-Reliance\"\" remains the most cited of Emerson's works, and American politicians and intellectuals selectively recycle ideas of self-reliance in the service of often disparate goals. Emerson doesn't use the term \"\"individualism\"\" in \"\"Self-Reliance,\"\" which was published in 1841, when the term \"\"individualism\"\" was just beginning to gain traction. Tocqueville unintentionally popularized the signifier \"\"individualism\"\" with the publication of Democracy in America. He used a French term that had no counterpart in English."

This video defines Transcendentalism, a literary movement of the mid-19th century. Authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman used their literary platforms to encourage Americans to transcend society's presumptions and create a personal, progressive relationship with spirituality and nature. Definition of Transcendentalism Transcendentalism was an idealistic literary and philosophical movement of the mid-19th century. Beginning in New England in 1836, various visionaries, intellectuals, scholars, and writers would come together regularly to discuss spiritual ideas. The Boston newspapers, which advertised their meetings, called the group the Transcendentalists. In this video, we will explore the main ideas of Transcendentalism, along with some of the key figures of this important American literary movement. The Transcendentalists were radical thinkers. At the time of their meetings, New England was still holding on to a remnant of Puritanical values. There was a sense that organized religion had authority over one's personal life and individual choices."

"text": "Literature Network » Literary Periods » Trancendentalism Trancendentalism In the early to mid-nineteenth century, a philosophical movement known as Transcendentalism took root in America and evolved into a predominantly literary expression. The adherents to Transcendentalism believed that knowledge could be arrived at not just through the senses, but through intuition and contemplation of the internal spirit. As such, they professed skepticism of all established religions, believing that Divinity resided in the individual, and the mediation of a church was cumbersome to achieving enlightenment. The genesis of the movement can be accurately traced to 1836 and the first gathering of the Transcendental Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The father of the movement, an appellation he probably did not relish, was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other prominent contributors included Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, William Henry Channing, and George Ripley. In the grand scheme, the Transcendentalist’s moment on the literary stage was decidedly brief. With Fuller’s death in 1850, one of the movement’s great advocates was silenced. Emerson lacked the vitality and desire to follow in her path. Though their hold on the public imagination was short-lived, the long-lasting influence that the Transcendentalists had on American literature cannot be denied."

[ 1] [2] [3] It arose as a reaction to protest against the general state of intellectualism and spirituality at the time. [ 4] The doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Harvard Divinity School was of particular interest. Transcendentalism emerged from \"\"English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Schleiermacher, the skepticism of David Hume \"\", [1] and the transcendental philosophy of Immanuel Kant and German Idealism. Miller and Versluis regard Emanuel Swedenborg as a pervasive influence on transcendentalism. [ 5] [6] It was also strongly influenced by Hindu texts on philosophy of the mind and spirituality, especially the Upanishads. A core belief of transcendentalism is in the inherent goodness of people and nature. Adherents believe that society and its institutions have corrupted the purity of the individual, and they have faith that people are at their best when truly \"\" self-reliant \"\" and independent."

"text": "Definitiontranscendental number Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com A transcendental number is a real number that is not the solution of any single-variable polynomial equation whose coefficients are all integers . All transcendental numbers are irrational numbers . But the converse is not true; there are some irrational numbers that are not transcendental. Examples of transcendental numbers include pi , the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter in a plane, and e , the base of the natural logarithm . The case of pi has historical significance. The fact that pi is transcendental means that it is impossible to draw to perfection, using a compass and straightedge and following the ancient Greek rules for geometric constructions, a square with the same area as a given circle. This ancient puzzle, known as squaring the circle , was, for centuries, one of the most baffling challenges in geometry. Schemes have been devised that provide amazingly close approximations to squaring the circle. But in theoretical mathematics (unlike physics and engineering), approximations are never good enough; a solution, scheme, or method is either valid, or else it is not. It can be difficult, and perhaps impossible, to determine whether or not a certain irrational number is transcendental."

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Subscribe 17KAdd to Share More33,290 views12310Published on Nov 26, 2009http://www.tm.org Interviewer: Maharishi, what is Transcendental Meditation? Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a very natural procedure of experiencing the finer state of the thinking process and to arrive at the source of thought, which is the pure field of creative intelligence; pure awareness, unbounded awareness is at the source of thought. And through the practice of Transcendental Meditation, the awareness reaches the source of thought. One feels relaxed, one feels happy inside. The bodies anxieties disappear. Transcendental Meditation is a practice for 15 to 20 minutes morning and evening; and everyone feels fresh throughout the day; more vital more energetic. So Transcendental Meditation is a procedure for enrichment of life, for betterment of life, for more success and more progress and more joy of life. Which is the technique used to teach Meditation? The technique is taught in seven stages."

"text": "\"What is transcendentalism? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is transcendentalism?\"\" Answer: Transcendentalism is a philosophy that says that our knowledge of reality comes from an analysis of our own thought processes, rather than from scientific evidence. According to the transcendentalist, if God exists, He can be found through human intuition. Transcendentalism is most commonly associated with a philosophical/religious view developed in the mid-1800s by a group of mainly Unitarian and agnostic intellectuals in New England, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Much of transcendental thinking comes from German idealism and the writings of Immanuel Kant, the philosopher generally seen as laying the foundation of all modern philosophy. Kant used the term transcendental to describe those a priori (nonanalytic) elements involved in empirical experience. Kant did not believe these elements to be “spiritual” in any sense, but he held that they did not originate with empiric observation and so were, in some sense, intuitive. The transcendentalism of 1830–60s New England essentially hijacked Kant’s philosophy and applied his “transcendentals” to ideas as well as to the phenomenological realm. Thus, intuition was valued as a necessary guide in the understanding of all reality, including science, philosophy, and religion."

"text": "\"Immanuel Kant: Metaphysics Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of Western philosophy. His contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have had a profound impact on almost every philosophical movement that followed him. This article focuses on his metaphysics and epistemology in one of his most important works, The Critique of Pure Reason . A large part of Kant’s work addresses the question “What can we know?” The answer, if it can be stated simply, is that our knowledge is constrained to mathematics and the science of the natural, empirical world. It is impossible, Kant argues, to extend knowledge to the supersensible realm of speculative metaphysics. The reason that knowledge has these constraints, Kant argues, is that the mind plays an active role in constituting the features of experience and limiting the mind’s access only to the empirical realm of space and time. Kant responded to his predecessors by arguing against the Empiricists that the mind is not a blank slate that is written upon by the empirical world, and by rejecting the Rationalists’ notion that pure, a priori knowledge of a mind-independent world was possible. Reason itself is structured with forms of experience and categories that give a phenomenal and logical structure to any possible object of empirical experience. These categories cannot be circumvented to get at a mind-independent world, but they are necessary for experience of spatio-temporal objects with their causal behavior and logical properties."

Whether in the poetry of the era of Romanticism, including that of Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley, the Gothic tales of Stoker, Shelley, and Poe, or the works by transcendentalists Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, nature serves as much more than simply a passive setting against which compelling actions unfold or a pretty backdrop or setting in the natural world. Rather, nature in all of the poems and essays by Emerson, Thoreau, and Walden is a living character through which human identity is constructed either through the characters’ alignment with the natural world or their struggle against it. In the works of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman in particular, nature is portrayed as a beneficent living force that can, if studied and understood through careful and intentional reflection, offer enduring lessons about what it means to be human. In “Self-Reliance,\"\" and the main ideas behind Thoreau’s “Walden”, as well as “Leaves of Grass”, the respective authors are deeply reverent of nature, and it is through their intimate relationship with the natural world that they construct their own identities and their philosophies about how to live a right life in the natural world. For Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, nature is viewed as possessing all the knowledge that man needs to know, if only he is attentive and willing enough to study its messages and apply them to his life. For Ralph Waldo Emerson, the physical environment is a perfectly ordered world because it is natural; it was not constructed by man and it is therefore not subjected to or tainted by his misguided ideas, as Emerson portrays men’s institutions to be. Yes, the physical world is wild and untamed, just as the human soul itself. In nature or the natural world, Emerson finds the rules by which he lives, and by which he exhorts others to live. The institutions of men have no appeal for him since they do not fit within the natural world, nor does he acknowledge them as authoritative; as he says, “No law can be sacred to me but that of my [own] nature\"\" (52). The human being, like the natural world in which he lives, is untamed."

[ 9] Kant argues that the human mind creates the structure of human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of human sensibility, and that the world as it is \"\"in-itself\"\" is independent of humanity's concepts of it. Kant took himself to have effected a \"\" Copernican revolution \"\" in philosophy, akin to Copernicus ' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolves around the earth. Kant's beliefs continue to have a major influence on contemporary philosophy, especially the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political theory, and aesthetics. Politically, Kant is one of the earliest exponents of the idea that perpetual peace could be secured through universal democracy and international cooperation. He believed that this will be the eventual outcome of universal history, although it is not rationally planned. [ 10] The exact nature of Kant's religious ideas continues to be the subject of especially heated philosophical dispute, as viewpoints are ranging from the idea that Kant was an early and radical exponent of atheism who finally exploded the ontological argument for God's existence, to more critical treatments epitomized by Nietzsche who claimed that Kant had \"\"theologian blood\"\" [11] and that Kant was merely a sophisticated apologist for traditional Christian religious belief, writing that \"\"Kant wanted to prove, in a way that would dumbfound the common man, that the common man was right: that was the secret joke of this soul.\"\" ["

"text": "Individual Effects The Issue: Is the Transcendental Meditation program a religion? Letters from Religious Leaders on the Transcendental Meditation Program. On TM Mantras The Evidence: Millions of people have learned the Transcendental Meditation program from all religious faiths, including priests, rabbis, and ministers, and they find no conflict between the practice and their religions. Instead, they find that the Transcendental Meditation program enriches the practice of their own religions. In addition, many teachers of the Transcendental Meditation program are ordained clergy in traditional religions and, at the same time, continue to teach the technique. The fact that the TM program has been derived from an ancient tradition in India and revived by a man revered there with a spiritual title, of course should have no bearing on the validity of the use of the TM program. The TM program is not Hinduism, therefore, any more than Einstein's theory of relativity is Jewish, or Genetic theory, conceived of by Monk Gregor Mendel is considered to be Christian. The practice of the program involves no religious beliefs but is a mechanical and effortless technique for experiencing increasingly refined or restful levels of mental and physiological activity enjoyed by individuals of all religious (and non-religious) backgrounds. To hold the opinion that the Transcendental Meditation program is a religion is to ignore an enormous body of scientific research which demonstrates clearly that it is not a religion. Transcendental Meditation is a scientific technique whose benefits have been validated through more than 600 research studies conducted at 209 independent universities and research institutions in 29 countries and published in leading, peer-reviewed journals."

"text": "This article provides a proof of the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem, using a method similar to those used by Ferdinand von Lindemann and Karl Weierstrass. This material is taken from [ 1] and expanded for clarity. Before attacking the general case, we first use the same methods to prove two earlier theorems, namely that both e and π are transcendental. These proofs introduce the methods to be used in the more general theorem. At the end, we present some trivial but important corollaries. Both e and π were both known to be irrational in the 1700’s ( Euler showed the former; Lambert the latter). But e was not shown to be transcendental until 1873 (by Hermite, see [ 3] and [ 4] ), and Lindemann showed π to be transcendental as well in the late 1870’s. He also sketched a proof of the general theorem, which was fleshed out by Weierstrass and Hilbert among others in the late 1800’s. The following construct is used in all three proofs. Suppose f ( x) is a realpolynomial, and let I ( t) = ∫ t0 e t - x f ( x) d x. Integrating by parts, we get I ( t) = ( - e t - x f ( x)) | t0 + ∫ t0 e t - x f ′ ( x) d x = e t f ( 0) - f ( t) + ∫ t0 e t - x f ′ ( x) d x. Continuing, and integrating by parts a total of m = deg f times, we get I ( t) = e tm∑ j = 0 f ( j) ( 0) -m∑ j = 0 f ( j) ( t) (1)where f ( j) ( x) is the j th derivative of f. If f ( x) = ∑ a i x i, let F ( x) = ∑ | a i| x i; i.e., the polynomial whose coefficients are the absolute values of those for f. Then using trivial bounds on the integrand, we get I ( t) ≤ ∫ t0| e t - x f ( x) | d x ≤ t e | t | F ( t). ("

Let M be the 2×2 matrix ()where exp (λ ij) is algebraic for 1 ≤ i, j ≤ 2. Suppose the two rows of M are linearly independent over the rational numbers, and the two columns of M are linearly independent over the rational numbers. Then the rank of M is 2. While a 2×2 matrix having linearly independent rows and columns usually means it has rank 2, in this case we require linear independence over a smaller field so the rank isn't forced to be 2. For example, the matrix (1 ππ)has rows and columns that are linearly independent over the rational numbers, since π is irrational."

For example, enzymes, including those that metabolize nutrients and synthesize new cellular constituents, as well as DNA polymerases and other enzymes that make copies of DNA during cell division, are all proteins. In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA ( m RNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-m RNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature m RNA (Figure 1)."

Litvak Current as of 1 May 2014Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-378630-2.00258-9 Get rights and content Abstract Reverse transcriptase (RT), also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into DNA. This enzyme is able to synthesize a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed in a first step into a single-strand DNA. RNA viruses, such as retroviruses, use the enzyme to reverse-transcribe their RNA genomes into DNA, which is then integrated into the host genome and replicated along with it. During the replication of some DNA viruses, such as the hepadnaviruses or pararetroviruses, also carrying a RT, the DNA genome is transcribed to RNA that serves as a template to make new viral DNA strands. Although RT was discovered in retroviruses and thought to be a paradigm of these infectious agents, it is currently known that RT is found in many other eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems like telomerase, retrotransposons, retrons, and are found abundantly in the genomes of plants and animals. Retroviral RT has a domain carrying a ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity that is crucial to their replication. RNase H is an endonuclease able to degrade the RNA moiety of DNA–RNA hybrids family. Another viral-encoded enzyme, integrase, is found either in the mature dimeric form of RT or as a free enzyme. Integrase is vital for the insertion of the double-stranded DNA synthesized by RT in the genome of the host-infected cell. Inhibitors of the DNA polymerase activity of retroviral RT are widely used in the treatment of pathologies produced by retroviruses like in the case of acquired immune deficiency syndrome."

The human mitochondrial genome is the entirety of hereditary information contained in human mitochondria. Mitochondria are small structures in cells that generate energy for the cell to use, and are hence referred to as the \"\"powerhouses\"\" of the cell. Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) is not transmitted through nuclear DNA (n DNA). In humans, as in most multicellular organisms, mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother's ovum. There are theories, however, that paternal mt DNA transmission in humans can occur under certain circumstances. [ 1]Mitochondrial inheritance is therefore non-Mendelian, as Mendelian inheritance presumes that half the genetic material of a fertilized egg ( zygote) derives from each parent. Eighty percent of mitochondrial DNA codes for mitochondrial RNA, and therefore most mitochondrial DNA mutations lead to functional problems, which may be manifested as muscle disorders ( myopathies )."

"text": "\"CHAPTER 9TRANSPOSITION OF DNAThe final method of changing the DNA in a genome that we will consider is transposition, which is the movement of DNA from one location to another. Segments of DNA with this ability to move are called transposable elements. Transposable elements were formerly thought to be found only in a few species, but now they are recognized as components of the genomes of virtually all species. In fact, transposable elements (both active and inactive) occupy approximately half the human genome and a substantially greater fraction of some plant genomes! These movable elements are ubiquitous in the biosphere, and are highly successful in propagating themselves. We now realize that some transposable elements are also viruses, for instance, some retroviruses can integrate into a host genome to form endogenous retroviruses. Indeed, some viruses may be derived from natural transposable elements and vice versa. Since viruses move between individuals, at least some transposable elements can move between genomes (between individuals) as well as within an individual’s genome. Given their prevalence in genomes, the function (if any) of transposable elements has been much discussed but is little understood. It is not even clear whether transposable elements should be considered an integral part of a species’ genome, or if they are successful parasites."

"text": "Tweet Pin Itm RNA Translation Is The Second Step Of Protein Synthesis The second step of protein synthesis is m RNA Translation (or just Translation). The m RNA Translation step follows right after the first step of protein synthesis called DNA Transcription (or just Transcription). During the transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is copied to a messenger RNA sequence (m RNA), which then can move through the nucleus membrane and can reach the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The production of proteins happens during the second step of protein synthesis process – the Translation. Sometimes protein synthesis process is referred only to Translation step, because no actual protein synthesis happens during the Transcription. However transcription is responsible for moving the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where the DNA/RNA code is translated by the ribosomes to a polypeptide sequence, which will later be folded into a protein. The Genetic Code The genetic code is a set of instructions, which defines how the information encoded within DNA/RNA is translated into proteins. The genetic code is identical (with small exceptions!) among all living organisms. The genetic code determines how codons (sequences of nucleotide triplets) can define which particular amino acid must be added on a specific position within the polypeptide chain."

The structure of part of a DNA double helix Deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Along with RNA and proteins, DNA is one of the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Genetic information is encoded as a sequence of nucleotides ( guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine) recorded using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are double-stranded helices, consisting of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars ( deoxyribose) and phosphate groups (related to phosphoric acid), with the nucleobases (G, A, T, C) attached to the sugars. DNA is well-suited for biological information storage, since the DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage and the double-stranded structure provides the molecule with a built-in duplicate of the encoded information. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel, one backbone being 3' (three prime) and the other 5' (five prime). This refers to the direction the 3rd and 5th carbon on the sugar molecule is facing."

However, whereas DNA molecules are typically long and double stranded, RNA molecules are much shorter and are typically single stranded. RNA molecules perform a variety of roles in the cell but are mainly involved in the process of protein synthesis (translation) and its regulation. RNA Structure RNA is typically single stranded and is made of ribonucleotides that are linked by phosphodiester bonds. A ribonucleotide in the RNA chain contains ribose (the pentose sugar), one of the four nitrogenous bases (A, U, G, and C), and a phosphate group. The subtle structural difference between the sugars gives DNA added stability, making DNA more suitable for storage of genetic information, whereas the relative instability of RNA makes it more suitable for its more short-term functions. The RNA-specific pyrimidine uracil forms a complementary base pair with adenine and is used instead of the thymine used in DNA. Even though RNA is single stranded, most types of RNA molecules show extensive intramolecular base pairing between complementary sequences within the RNA strand, creating a predictable three-dimensional structure essential for their function (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Figure 1. ( a) Ribonucleotides contain the pentose sugar ribose instead of the deoxyribose found in deoxyribonucleotides. ("

There is 1 pending change awaiting review.navigation search Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as ribosomal RNA (r RNA) genes or transfer RNA (t RNA) genes, the product is a functional RNA. The process of gene expression is used by all known life - eukaryotes (including multicellular organisms), prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and viruses - to generate the macromolecular machinery for life. Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription, RNA splicing, translation, and post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation gives the cell control over structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis and the versatility and adaptability of any organism. Gene regulation may also serve as a substrate for evolutionary change, since control of the timing, location, and amount of gene expression can have a profound effect on the functions (actions) of the gene in a cell or in a multicellular organism. In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which genotype gives rise to the phenotype. The genetic code stored in DNA in form of nucleotide sequence is \"\"interpreted\"\" by gene expression, and the properties of the expression products give rise to the organism's phenotype. [ 1] A molecule which allows the genetic material to be realized as a protein was first hypothesized by François Jacob and Jacques Monod."

Over 100 recipients, including doctors, nurses and support staff were felicitated at the function. Patrons such as Rotary Club, Lions Club and JSS Pharmacy College were also honoured. Though it traces its history way back to 1829, the hospital became full-fledged only in 1867 with a new building, the present heritage block, built at the cost of around Rs 22,000 contributed by the public and the government. It was then named as Bartholomew Hospital. The hospital should have celebrated its 150th anniversary last year itself. But, it was postponed due to quality control programmes. Started as an Army hospital with 14 beds, the facility saw many changes in administration before it could be taken over by the government in 1920. The hospital, one of the oldest in the state, is housed in a heritage building. Additional constructions took place in recent years."

"text": "Tamil Nadu goes bananas: The state is the largest producer of the fruit in India Bananas , Getty Images Share Written By DNA Web Team Updated: Sep 25, 2015, 10:43 AM ISTCome 2020 and Tamil Nadu might just be the largest producer of bananas in the world! As of now, the state is the largest producer of bananas in the country. According to a report in Deccan Chronicle, G Ajeethan, General Secretary, Tamil Nadu Banana Growers Federation, said that the state already accounts for one-third of the total banana production in India. In 2014, India was said to be the country with the number one production in the world by the national horticulture board database. The report said that 9 million tonnes of the 29.7 million tonnes of bananas produced in 2014 in India was from Tamil Nadu. The government of Tamil Nadu provides subsidies, irrigation facilities and help to farmers which has fuelled the increase in banana production over the years. The report states that Tamil Nadu could become the number one area in the world in banana production beating Ecuador and Indonesia if post-harvest losses were cut down and more marketing efforts were taken. Areas in Tamil Nadu where banana is prominently cultivated are Theni, Trichy, Erode, Thoothukudi, Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Thanjavur and Dindigul. The varieties cultivated include Grand Naine, Virupakshi, Sirumalai, Rasthali and Red Banana. Most of the bananas produced here go to the Gulf countries."

India | NDTV Correspondent | Updated: November 15, 2010 02:14 ISTShare EMAIL PRINT COMMENTSNew Delhi: At 47, Andimuthu Raja has come a long way from being a lawyer in rural Tamil Nadu. And even as the end of his stint as Cabinet Minister at the Centre came in a brutal rush after days of stalemate, it was clear that A Raja's political journey is not over yet. His party, the DMK, has made clear that while bowing to the dynamics of a political alliance, it will continue to project Raja as victim. \"\" Targeted because he is a Dalit,\"\" said DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi. Raja is important because he is a Dalit leader, the most prominent Dalit face that the DMK has. Assembly elections are due next year, and the DMK can ill-afford to alienate Dalit voters. Raja's being Dalit got him early breaks in his political career, like becoming Cabinet Minister at the age of 35 - in the NDA government in 1999. And he never looked back holding several portfolios both in the NDA and UPA regimes at the Centre. He became Telecom Minister in May 2007."

"text": "Between 501 to 1000 CE, Pallavas, Tamilnadu Mamandur – Cave Temple Worshop Posted by Saurabh on November 11, 2010Introduction – Mamandur and Narasapalaiyam, twin villages, are famous for their four rock-cut cave temples. From the inscriptions, found in these rock-cut shrines, we find that these two villages are under royal patronage of the Pallavas in sixth-seventh century and the Cholas in eleventh century. This suggests that the villages were under continuous royal patronage. One theory is also that the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I Mamalla (CE 630-668) named the village, Narasapalaiyam, after his name. There is an irrigation tank, Chitramegha-tataka, which is assumed to be executed by the Pallava king Mahendravarman I (CE 580-630). One of the cave temples has an inscription of the Pallava king Mahendravarman I, which suggests that probably all the four caves would have been excavated during his reign. This is one of the closest cave temple site from the Pallava capital at Kanchipuram, which also suggests that probably this might be one of the earliest cave temple as well. Pallavas, being ruling over Kanchi, would probably look out for such a nearby rock where they can experiment in rock cut architecture. Mamandur provided such a rock, and what we see, not a single cave temple, but four of them on the same rock. What does it suggest?"

"text": "\"The theme song of the Winnie-the-Pooh franchi se was written by the Sherman brothers, who have written the grand majority of Winnie the Pooh Songs and musical numbers since 1966. The song was featured in the first Winnie the Pooh cartoon; the 1966 short film Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, by Walt Disney . The lyric gives an overview of the characters and the roles each plays in relation to Pooh himself. The song has been used in every theatrically released Pooh film, as well as most of the television series. Notably, Tigger is the only original character from the books (thus does not count Gopher, Kessie or Lumpy) not to be named in this song and this is probably the reason why he gets his own introduction song \"\" The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers \"\" when he first appears in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day . This song has been featured in many of the Disney Winnie the Pooh films. In Pooh's Heffalump Movie it was performed by Carly Simon and arranged by Joel Mc Neely . Recently in the film Winnie the Pooh (2011) the song slightly changed and Tigger is now mentioned in the main classic theme. Original Lyrics Deep in the hundred acre wood where Christopher Robin plays You'll find the enchanted neighborhood of Christopher's childhood days A donkey named Eeyore is his friend and Kanga and little Roo (and Tigger, too!) There's Rabbit and Piglet and there's Owl, but most of all Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh Willy nilly silly old bear Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!)"

Very distinguished, he expresses strength, agility and endurance. The general conformation is that of a mesomorphic animal whose body is longer than the height at the withers, harmonious as regards the form and disharmonious as regards the profile. The muzzle is very broad and deep. The width of the muzzle must be almost equal to its length which reaches 3.4/10 of the total length of the head. Its depth is more than 50% the length of the muzzle. Due to the parallels of the muzzle sides and to the fullness and the width of the whole jaw, the anterior face of the muzzle is flat and square. The nasal bridge has a rectilinear profile and it is rather flat. The lower side profile of the muzzle is determined by the upper lips; the suborbital region shows a very slight chisel. The stop is very marked because of the very developed and bulging frontal sinuses and because of the prominent superciliary arches."

"text": "\"Lou Costello Highest Rated: 100% Hold That Ghost (1941)Lowest Rated: 27% Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955)Birthday: Mar 6, 1906Birthplace: Not Available American comedian Lou Costello wasn't the most scholarly of lads growing up in Paterson, New Jersey, although he excelled in baseball and basketball. He won an athletic scholarship to Cornwall-on-Hudson Military School, but left before graduation to try a performing career. Reasoning that there'd be a lot of work for a top athlete in Hollywood, Lou travelled westward, but was only able to secure stunt-man work, specializing in the sort of spectacular falls that he'd still be staging during his later starring career. Tired of working anonymously in Hollywood, Costello decided to give stage work a try, and by the mid '30s he'd achieved minor prominence as a burlesque comedian. What he needed was the right straight man, and that man was Bud Abbott, with whom Lou teamed in 1936. Abbott was satisfied in burlesque, but Costello had bigger ambitions; it was he who actively promoted the team into radio and Broadway. In 1940, Lou finally realized his life's ambition to be a movie star when he and Abbott were signed by Universal Pictures. The team's second feature, Buck Privates, launched an amazingly durable film career; for the next ten years, Abbott and Costello were Hollywood's biggest moneymaking team. Though no pushover in real life, Lou became world famous for his portrayal of the hapless, trodden-upon patsy of the conniving, bullying Abbott; his plaintive \"\"I'm a ba-a-ad boy\"\" became a national catchphrase. A serious 1942 bout with rheumatic fever kept Lou out of radio and films for a full year."

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

The bridges connect the city of Tacoma with the Kitsap Peninsula and carry State Route 16 (known as Primary State Highway 14 until 1964) over the strait. Historically, the name \"\"Tacoma Narrows Bridge\"\" has applied to the original bridge nicknamed \"\"Galloping Gertie\"\", which opened in July 1940, but collapsed because of aeroelastic flutter four months later, as well as the replacement of the original bridge which opened in 1950 and still stands today as the westbound lanes of the present-day twin bridge complex. The original Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened on July 1, 1940. The original bridge received its nickname \"\"Galloping Gertie\"\" because of the vertical movement of the deck observed by construction workers during windy conditions. The bridge became known for its pitching deck, and collapsed into Puget Sound the morning of November 7, 1940, under high wind conditions."

It usually affects the lungs, but can attack other parts of the body. TB is a global problem, although undeveloped countries usually have much higher incidences than developed countries. South Africa has one of the highest reported TB infection rates in the world. TB is mainly spread by breathing in air-borne bacteria from people with active infectious TB disease. A person can be infected by the TB organism for years without getting sick or spreading the disease to others. If your immune system is weakened for some reason, latent TB infection can develop into active disease. Although TB can be treated, the minimum period required for successful treatment is six months, and medication must be taken exactly as prescribed. Failure to complete the treatment regimen may result in the emergence of drug resistant strains of TB. In some parts of the world, such as South Africa, TB is the most important opportunistic infection of people with HIV."

The reaction which characteristically shows a delayed course, reaching its peak more than 24 hours after administration, consists of induration due to cell infiltration and occasionally vesiculation and necrosis. Clinically, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin is a manifestation of previous infection with M. tuberculosis or a variety of nontuberculosis bacteria. In most cases sensitization is induced by natural mycobacterial infection or by vaccination with BCG vaccine. The sensitization following infection with mycobacteria occurs primarily in the regional lymph nodes. Small lymphocytes (T lymphocytes) proliferate in response to the antigenic stimulus to give rise to specifically sensitized lymphocytes. After several weeks, these lymphocytes enter the blood stream and circulate for long periods of time. Subsequent restimulation of these sensitized lymphocytes with the same or a similar antigen, such as the intradermal injection of tuberculin, evokes a local reaction mediated by these cells. The tuberculin reaction is characterized by the early predominance of mononuclear cells (small and medium sized lymphocytes and monocytes)."

"text": "What is latent tuberculosis?“Latent tuberculosis” is the term used for people who test positive for tuberculosis (most commonly with a positive tuberculin skin test), but do not have any evidence of active infection. Currently one in three people worldwide are felt to harbor tuberculosis bacilli. Tuberculosis is transmitted through airborne spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When a person with active pulmonary TB coughs, aerosolized droplets containing bacilli can invade the lungs of close contacts. In 90-95% of cases, the infected person's immune system halts growth of the bacteria and active disease does not develop, although skin or serological testing for TB will convert to positive. Once positive, a person's TB test will generally remain positive for life. Approximately one in ten latent infections will later progress to active disease unless treatment is given. Most cases of active tuberculosis result from reactivation of latent TB. Who should be screened for latent TB? Persons at high risk for developing TB disease should be tested for latent TB."

Active tuberculosis can be contagious while latent tuberculosis is not, and it is therefore not possible to get TB from someone with latent tuberculosis. The main risk is that approximately 10% of these patients (5% in the first two years after infection and 0.1% per year thereafter) will go on to develop active tuberculosis. This is particularly true, and there is added risk, in particular situations such as medication that suppresses the immune system or advancing age."

"text": "tuberculosis [tū-ber′kyū-lō′sis]Type: Term Definitions 1. A specific disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus, which can affect almost any tissue or organ of the body, the most common site of the disease being the lungs. Primary TB is typically a mild or asymptomatic local pulmonary infection. Regional lymph nodes may become involved, but in otherwise healthy people generalized disease does not immediately develop. A cell-mediated immune response arrests the spread of organisms and walls off the zone of infection. Infected tissues and lymph nodes may eventually calcify. The tuberculin skin test result becomes positive within a few weeks and remains positive throughout life. Organisms in a primary lesion remain viable and can become reactivated months or years later to initiate secondary TB. Progression to the secondary stage eventually occurs in 10–15% of people who have had primary TB; in one half of these, progression occurs within 2 years. The risk of reactivation is increased by diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, HIV infection, silicosis, and various systemic or malignant conditions, as well as in patients with alcoholism, IV drug abusers, nursing home residents, and those receiving adrenocortical steroid or immunosuppressive therapy."

"text": "( PDF – 1,327 KB)Treatment Options for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Introduction Treatment of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) is essential to controlling and eliminating TB in the United States, because it substantially reduces the risk that TB infection will progress to TB disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend testing populations that are at increased risk for TB infection. Once the diagnosis of LTBI has been made, health care providers must choose the most appropriate and effective treatment regimen, and make every effort to ensure those persons complete the entire course of treatment for LTBI. However, if exposed to and infected by a person with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) or extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR TB), preventive treatment may not be an option. Pretreatment Evaluation To decide whether an individual who has a positive tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) result is a candidate for treatment of LTBIDetermine the benefits of treatment by evaluating individual’s risk for developing TB disease Assess the person’s level of commitment to completion of treatment and resources available to ensure adherence Once the decision is made to treat an individual for LTBI, the health care provider must establish rapport with the patient and Discuss benefits and risks of treatment Review possible medication side effects or drug interactions Emphasize importance of adherence Identify potential barriers to adherence Establish a plan to ensure adherence Table 1. Candidates for the Treatment of Latent TB Infection Groups Who Should be Given High Priority for Latent TB Infection Treatment People who have a positive IGRA result or a TST reaction of 5 or more millimeters People who have a positive IGRA result or a TST reaction of 10 or more millimeters HIV-infected persons Recent contacts of a TB case Persons with fibrotic changes on chest radiograph consistent with old TBOrgan transplant recipients Persons who are immunosuppressed for other reasons (e.g., taking the equivalent of >15 mg/day of prednisone for 1 month or longer, taking TNF-α antagonists)Persons from high-prevalence countries Injection drug users Residents and employees of high-risk congregate settings (e.g., correctional facilities, nursing homes, homeless shelters, hospitals, and other health care facilities)Mycobacteriology laboratory personnel Children under 4 years of age, or children and adolescents exposed to adults in high-risk categories Persons with no known risk factors for TB may be considered for treatment of LTBI if they have either a positive IGRA result or if their reaction to the TST is 15 mm or larger. However, targeted TB testing programs should only be conducted among high-risk groups. All testing activities should be accompanied by a plan for follow-up care for persons with TB infection or disease. Choosing the Most Effective Regimen Treatment of LTBI should be initiated after the possibility of TB disease has been excluded. Persons suspected of having TB disease should receive the recommended multidrug regimen for treatment of disease until the diagnosis is confirmed or ruled out."

Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail. Anergy Skin Testing and Preventive Therapy for HIV-Infected Persons: Revised Recommendations Summary This report updates and supersedes previous recommendations (MMWR 1991;40 {No. RR-5}:27-33) for the use of anergy skin testing in conjunction with purified protein derivative (PPD)-tuberculin skin testing of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In February 1997, CDC convened a meeting of consultants to discuss current information regarding anergy skin testing, PPD skin testing, and tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy for HIV-infected persons. In formulating these recommendations, CDC considered the results of this meeting, as well as a review of published studies pertaining to PPD and anergy skin testing of persons who are infected with HIV. Isoniazid preventive therapy is effective in reducing the incidence of active TB among persons who have HIV infection and latent TB. Because of the complications associated with TB disease in HIV-infected persons, these persons must be screened for tuberculin infection. HIV-infected persons who have positive reactions to skin testing with PPD tuberculin should be evaluated to exclude active TB and offered preventive therapy with isoniazid if indicated."

From one perspective, TB has reemerged in some countries, such as the United States, in association with multiple factors, of which HIV infection is one of the most relevant. [ 6] In developing countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, the burden of disease has increased substantially when there is coinfection with M tuberculosis and HIV, with a significant rise in case fatality rates. [ 1]Global perspective. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 1999 that of a total 53.9 million deaths from all causes worldwide, 13.3 million (25%) were a result of infectious diseases. [ 7] Of these, 2.3 million were caused by AIDS, 1.5 million by TB, and 1.1 million by malaria. Seventy-five percent of deaths from malaria occurred in children younger than 5 years, while 95% of deaths from TB occurred in persons older than 5.7 HIV/AIDS and TB were, respectively, the fourth and eighth leading causes of death globally in 1999. [ 3]Worldwide, TB may be one of the most common HIV-related opportunistic infections. The global burden of TB in 1997, according to the WHO, included approximately 8 million new cases. An estimated 2 million people died as a result of TB, and the global case fatality rate was 23% and exceeded 50% in some African countries with high HIV rates."

Related to tuberculosis: asthma, tuberculosis vaccine, tuberculosis test Tuberculosis Definition Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of thebody but is mainly an infection of the lungs. It is caused by a bacterial microorganism, thetubercle bacillus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although TB can be treated, cured, and can be prevented if persons at risk take certain drugs, scientists have never come close to wiping it out. Few diseases have caused so much distressing illness for centuries and claimed so many lives. Description Overview Tuberculosis was popularly known as consumption for a long time. Scientists know it as an infection caused by M. tuberculosis. In 1882, the microbiologist Robert Koch discovered thetubercle bacillus, at a time when one of every seven deaths in Europe was caused by TB. Because antibiotics were unknown, the only means of controlling the spread of infection was to isolate patients in private sanitoria or hospitals limited to patients with TB—a practice thatcontinues to this day in many countries. The net effect of this pattern of treatment was to separate the study of tuberculosis from mainstream medicine."

There are two types of this test: the skin test and the blood test. During the TB skin test, a testing fluid is injected into the forearm, and a healthcare provider will measure the swelling after 72 hours and determine the results. A TB blood test measures the response to TB proteins when they are mixed with a small amount of your blood. An Overview of the TB Test There are two types of TB ( tuberculosis) tests. One is a TB skin test (also known as a PPD test) and the other is a TB blood test (Quanti FERON ® -TB Gold). What Is the TB Skin Test? A tuberculosis skin test is a TB test that is often used to detect latent tuberculosis. You can get a skin test at the health department or at your doctor's office. A healthcare worker will inject a small amount of testing fluid (called tuberculin or PPD) just under the skin on the underside of the forearm."

"text": "We offer an online course on how to properly do and read a TB Skin Test E Learning Module (30 minutes to complete). Best practice indicates that a two-step tuberculin skin test (TST) involves two tests performed within one to four weeks of each other. The second test can be completed up to one year from the first test, provided there hasn’t been an exposure to infectious tuberculosis (TB) disease during that time period. It cannot be done less than one week from the first test. Why a Two-Step Test? : A single TST may elicit little response (a negative reaction) yet stimulate an anamnestic immune response. The second TST will elicit a much greater response (a positive reaction). This booster effect is important to detect, as it could be confused with a new TB infection. When Should a Two-Step Test be Done? : A two-step TST should be performed if subsequent TSTs will be conducted in the future (e.g., among health care or correctional service workers)."

What begins as an open-and-shut case of murder soon becomes a detective story that presents a succession of clues creating doubt, and a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room.— pjk When a young Puerto Rican boy is on trial for the alleged murder of his father, 11 of the 12 jurors are quick to vote that he is guilty in an ostensibly straightforward case. The remaining juror, Juror #8, seems skeptical about the evidence at hand and demands a thorough deliberation of the facts from each juror before sentencing the boy to death, to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.— Kyle Perez\"\"12 Angry Men\"\" focuses on a jury's deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old man accused in the stabbing death of his father, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote."

A jury of twelve men is locked in the deliberation room to decide the fate of the young boy. All evidence is against the boy and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. The judge informs the jurors that they are faced with a grave decision and that the court would not entertain any acts of mercy for the boy if found guilty.

Julius Caesar was a prominent politician with the populares faction and was eventually renowned for his conquest of Gaul (58-50 BC). Pompey was considered the greatest military commander of his time and commanded armies in the Third Servile War (73–71 BC) in Italy and the Third Mithridatic War (73–63 BC) against the Kingdom of Pontus in West Asia. This gave him great prestige and popularity. Crassus was a property speculator, the largest landlord, and the richest man in Rome. Pompey and Crassus had extensive patronage networks.

The men file in and decide to take a short break before deliberating. They complain that the room is hot and without air-conditioning; even the fan doesn’t work. All the jurors presume the obvious guilt of the defendant, whom we learn has been accused of killing his father. Eventually, the twelve sit down and a vote is taken. All of the jurors vote “guilty,” except for the 8th Juror, who votes “not guilty,” which, due to the requirement of a unanimous jury, forces them to discuss the case.

After his schooling and college, he worked as private secretary to Sir William Templeton for several years. Illness caused him to return to Ireland, but due to lack of work he came to his former post again. By 1699, Swift composed some of his most famous satires like A Tale of the Tub and The Battle of the Books, which were published only in His Gulliver's Travels (written between ) was published in 1726, and was a satire on the current politics between the Whigs and the Tories. Though he wrote several works throughout the thirties, ill health began to trouble him, and he took a turn for the worse until his death on 19th October Swift's age was an age in which there was an abundance of political controversies and ideological clashes, particularly within the Church. Swift and his contemporaries, like Pope, Steele and Addison, satirised prominent institutions as well as political figures in their writings. Summary of Gulliver's Travels Lemuel Gulliver was an educated seafaring man who wrote his memoirs of four voyages to remote countries of the world with the intention of contributing to human knowledge. These are described in the four books which make up Gulliver's Travels. In Book I, which describes his first voyage to Lilliput, Gulliver is shipwrecked on an unknown island near Sumatra and wakes to find himself the captive of a race of people six inches tall. They are afraid when he moves his head and when he shouts, and attack him with arrows and spears, but stop when he is quiet."

The Basin story is a fascination one, well deserving of its place in history. This brief summary only highlights key points of the area’s history. The rush was on. Originally, people traveled by steamer up the Columbia River to Umatilla, departing from Umatilla by stage lines, and finally journeying by pack-train to the Boise Basin. Difficult winters and shortages of food made life treacherous. One year a food riot occurred because the spring supplies from Walla Walla had not arrived. The Basin’s population swelled to 25,000. The mining proved extensive and the gold was evenly distributed through out the Basin. Many claimed it was the \"\"best mining district we ever saw\"\"."

Instead, the popular play was adapted from Reginald Rose's 1954 live teleplay that debuted on a CBS Studios' series, \"\" Studio One in Hollywood.\"\" In 1957, the famous film adaptation starring Henry Fonda was produced, and the stage play did not debut until 1964. This is an iconic courtroom drama in which the audience never sees the inside of a courtroom. It is set entirely inside a crowded, steamy jury room and it is a script filled with little more than some of the best dramatic dialogue written.\"\" Twelve Angry Men \"\" quickly became a classic story for stage and screen and Rose's cast of characters some of the most memorable in modern history. Yet, not one of the twelve jurors has a name, they are simply known by their juror numbers. A reader may think that this somehow takes away from the characters' personalities or the audience's ability to relate to them. To the contrary, the unnamed men who are tasked with the fate of a young man could be your father, husband, son, or grandfather and every personality type is portrayed in this fascinating psychological drama. The Basics of the Case At the beginning of \"\" Twelve Angry Men \"\", the jury has just finished listening to six days of trial proceedings inside a New York City courtroom."

The governor, Frank Steunenberg, took a tough line and declared martial law and asked President William Mc Kinley to send federal troops to help him in his fight with the trade union movement. During the dispute over a thousand trade unionists and their supporters were rounded up and kept in stockades without trial. The unions felt betrayed as they had mainly supported his campaign to become governor. Activists were particularly angry about Steunenberg's attempts to justify his actions: \"\"We have taken the monster by the throat and we are going to choke the life out of it. No halfway measures will be adopted. It is a plain case of the state or the union winning, and we do not propose that the state shall be defeated. \"\" Frank Steunenberg retired from office and on 30th December, 1905, he went out for a walk. On his return, when he pulled a wooden slide that opened the gate to his side door, it triggered a bomb, that killed him. James Mc Parland, from the Pinkerton Detective Agency, was called in to investigate the murder."

Beginning in 1524 and ending in 1526, the Peasants' War was a result of a tumultuous collection of grievances in many different spheres: political, economic, social, and theological. Martin Luther is often considered to be the foundation for the Peasants' Revolt; however, he maintained allegiance to the Princes against the violence of the rebels.

Many factors, including changes in social and economic structures, played a role in inciting the peasants to revolt. The move from an entirely agrarian economic base during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries served as a backdrop to the development of new social classes, ones that could not and did not coincide with the traditional feudal hierarchy. Although initially the grievances cited by the peasants were essentially based on individual abuses on the part of government of the Church, this shifted as time went on, and would come to encompass these minor issues within a general dissatisfaction for the entire feudal order. [ 1]Luther and the Peasants: Reluctant Inspiration [ edit]The relationship between the Protestant Reformation and the Peasants' War has long been a subject of debate. A traditional understanding in this matter is that the Peasants' Revolt stemmed from Martin Luther's doctrine of spiritual freedom and the application of his ideas as religious justification for social and political upheaval."

[ 4] [5] Written and co-produced by Rose himself and directed by Sidney Lumet, this trial film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt, forcing the jurors to question their morals and values. In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: out of 96 minutes of run time, only three minutes take place outside of the jury room.12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building and the difficulties encountered in the process among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. It also explores the power one man has to elicit change. No names are used in the film; the jury members are identified by number until two members exchange names at the end. The defendant is referred to as \"\"the boy\"\" and the witnesses as \"\"the old man\"\" and \"\"the lady across the street\"\". The film forces the characters and audience to evaluate their own self-image through observing the personality, experiences, and actions of the jurors. In 2007, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \"\"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\"\". [ 6] The film was selected as the second-best courtroom drama ever by the American Film Institute during their AFI's 10 Top 10 list [7] and is the highest courtroom drama on Rotten Tomatoes ' Top 100 Movies of All Time.

"text": "Types of Personality Disorders Samantha Gluck Print Email You will find 10 distinct types of personality disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, (DSM-V). The different personality disorders are put into one of three clusters based on similar characteristics assigned to each cluster: Cluster A personality disorders – odd, eccentric Cluster B personality disorders – dramatic, emotional, and erratic Cluster C personality disorders – anxious, fearful It's common for people to receive a diagnosis of more than one of the personality disorder types, most commonly within the same cluster. As we explore further, you'll begin to see how the four common features come together to manifest in the different personality disorders. Personality Disorder Types The 10 personality disorder types ( list of personality disorders) have descriptive similarities that allow them to fit into one of the three cluster categories. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has suggested further investigation of an alternative model of categorization for the different personality disorders in hopes of adding clarity to this current approach. Until development of a new model, the DSM-V (APA, 2013) adheres to the cluster grouping convention: Cluster A Personality Disorders Deemed the odd and eccentric cluster, Cluster A Personality Disorders include paranoid personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder. If you know someone with an inflexible, long-term pattern of social awkwardness and social withdrawal punctuated by distorted thinking, he or she may have one of the Cluster A conditions. Cluster B Personality Disorders Considered the dramatic, emotional, and erratic group, Cluster B Personality Disorders include borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. If you know someone with marked and persistent impulse control and emotional regulation issues, he or she may suffer from one of the Cluster B disorders. Cluster C Personality Disorders Thought of as the anxious, fearful group, Cluster C Personality Disorders include avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder."

Sleep Disorders Types of Sleep Disorders Insomnia Sleep Apnea Disorders Narcolepsy Parasomnias Restless Leg Syndrome Conclusion References Sleep is such an important factor that a deficiency of sleep can lead to a much larger risk of developing numerous diseases and also puts a person at a greater risk of being involved in an accident, which could have devastating consequences. On the other hand, however, sleeping too much can also be bad for the body’s health and also cause a number of health conditions to become a problem in a person’s life. Considering the fact that too much sleep and too little sleep is bad for the human body’s wellbeing, many people become quite confused when it comes to sleep. Not only do they have to make sure they achieve just the right amount of sleep to ensure they do not suffer from sleep deficiency or sleep too much, but they also have to consider the quality of their sleep as this also seems to play an important part in providing the body with the benefits of sleep. Unfortunately, there are some conditions that can affect how we sleep – both in duration and in quality. While it is known that some common ailments can lead to excessive sleep or make falling asleep harder, there are some conditions that directly relates to a person’s sleep. Some of these diseases or disorders can make it extremely difficult to sleep, while others may cause a person to find it difficult to wake up and make them sleep for long periods of times, as well as frequently."

The four types of dissociative disorders are defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). List of Dissociative Disorders The following list of dissociative disorders outlines the four defined disorders: Dissociative amnesia – characterized by an inability to remember personal information in a way that cannot be accounted for by forgetfulness. Dissociative identity disorder – characterized by more than one identity present in one person Depersonalization/derealisation disorder – characterized by a feeling that objects in the environment are changing shape or size or that people are automated; feeling detached from one's body Other dissociative disorder not specified – a dissociative disorder that does not fall within the other three types of dissociative disorders Details on the Types of Dissociative Disorders Here is a more detailed look at each type of dissociative disorder: Dissociative amnesia – this type of dissociative disorder deals with the inability to recall critical personal information. Unlike many other types of amnesia, this one is not associated with physical trauma (such as a blow to the head) but, rather, a psychological trauma. A person with dissociative amnesia will often not remember that trauma that caused this disorder in the first place. Additionally, dissociative amnesia has several subtypes: Localized amnesia – people with localized amnesia have no memory from a specific period of time, usually around the trauma. Selective amnesia – people with selective amnesia remember only parts of what happened during specific timeframes. For example, an abuse victim may remember being on a boat but not the abuse that took place there. Generalized amnesia – this rare form of amnesia is when the amnesia encompasses a person's whole life including his or her identity."

"text": "\"Heredity Versus Environment: Twin, Adoption, and Family Studies Avi G. Haimowitz Rochester Institute of Technology A plethora of internal and external variables combine to create individual personalities, behaviors, and psychopathologies supposedly unique to every human being. The argument of genetic makeup versus environmental influences, however, has researchers working to determine what really shapes us. Some say genotypes control how people think, feel, and behave. Others believe it is the environment alone that is responsible for molding humans into who they are. There is much unknown in this field, but the perusal and review of twin, adoption, and family studies is a significant stepping stone in better understanding this topic. Even today, the sole sculptor of human personality, behavior, and psychopathology remains unknown; modern research indicates that a combination of biology and environment constructs us all. Studying how genes and our surroundings may or may not form the personalities, behaviors, and psychopathologies of human beings is probably the most obvious way to approach the argument of heredity versus the environment. It is often the tendency of humans to polarize themselves and choose a specific side when a question like this is introduced. Despite this common inclination, it is probably not the wisest method of deciphering the basis for the three main variables that construct human beings; who is to say that a single factor is the source of all our differences? It is more logical to examine the distinctions between biology and the environment, and to figure out in what ways the two may intertwine to form the singular entities that are our personas."

"text": "\"What is a Personality Disorder? Definition, Causes, Effects Samantha Gluck Print Email Since the beginning of time, there have been people around who suffer from one type of personality disorder or another ( famous people with personality disorders ). Philosophers and scientists have studied the various aspects of human personality as far back as the fourth century B. C. But it was French psychiatrist, Philippe Pinel, who first clarified and defined the concept of a personality disorder in 1801. Pinel characterized the condition as one with frequent outbursts of rage and violence, but without signs of psychotic illness (i.e. illnesses where people experience delusions and hallucinations). Over the years, a number of psychiatrists and psychologists have broadened the concept to reach the currently accepted personality disorder definition. What is a Personality Disorder? What is a personality disorder and how would you know if you or someone you loved suffered from the condition? The term, personality disorder, actually refers to an entire group of mental illnesses that involve unhealthy and inflexible long-term patterns of thoughts and behaviors. The DSM-V personality disorders section (APA, 2013) lists 10 specific types: Antisocial personality disorder Avoidant personality disorder Borderline personality disorder Dependent personality disorder Histrionic personality disorder Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder Narcissistic personality disorder Paranoid personality disorder Schizoid personality disorder Schizotypal personality disorder Here's an interesting thought: Can you imagine having one of these personality disorders and not realizing your behavior and thought patterns are \"\"off\"\"?

Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology Mental disorders, in particular their consequences and their treatment, are of more concern and receive more attention now than in the past. Mental disorders have become a more prominent subject of attention for several reasons. They have always been common, but, with the eradication or successful treatment of many of the serious physical illnesses that formerly afflicted humans, mental illness has become a more noticeable cause of suffering and accounts for a higher proportion of those disabled by disease. Moreover, the public has come to expect the medical and mental health professions to help it obtain an improved quality of life in its mental as well as physical functioning. And indeed, there has been a proliferation of both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments. The transfer of many psychiatric patients, some still showing conspicuous symptoms, from mental hospitals into the community has also increased the public’s awareness of the importance and prevalence of mental illness. There is no simple definition of mental disorder that is universally satisfactory. This is partly because mental states or behaviour that are viewed as abnormal in one culture may be regarded as normal or acceptable in another, and in any case it is difficult to draw a line clearly demarcating healthy from abnormal mental functioning. A narrow definition of mental illness would insist upon the presence of organic disease of the brain, either structural or biochemical."

The disorder is constant and does not go away. The person may constantly happy and then depressed or they may be a mix of both happy and depressed at the same time. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that is associated with hallucinations, paranoia, delusions and disorganized speech and thinking. Schizophrenia causes the patient to believe and see things that are usually not there, they may also develop certain characters and scenarios in their head which causes paranoia in the patient. Schizoaffective Disorder and schizophrenia are often confused to the same because of their similarities in name and nature. However, they are two different mental disorders that can affect a person. They also have similar symptoms but the intensity of the symptoms also differ between the two.

These symptoms often result in impulsive actions and problems in relationships. People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that can last from a few hours to days. Signs and Symptoms People with borderline personality disorder may experience mood swings and display uncertainty about how they see themselves and their role in the world. As a result, their interests and values can change quickly. People with borderline personality disorder also tend to view things in extremes, such as all good or all bad. Their opinions of other people can also change quickly. An individual who is seen as a friend one day may be considered an enemy or traitor the next. These shifting feelings can lead to intense and unstable relationships. Other signs or symptoms may include: Efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, such as rapidly initiating intimate (physical or emotional) relationships or cutting off communication with someone in anticipation of being abandoned A pattern of intense and unstable relationships with family, friends, and loved ones, often swinging from extreme closeness and love (idealization) to extreme dislike or anger (devaluation)Distorted and unstable self-image or sense of self Impulsive and often dangerous behaviors, such as spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, and binge eating."

Some areas will be emphasized, to reflect controversial issues or new developments. For example, the classification of both these disorders will be stressed to consider the heterogeneity apparent in each of them. The issue is an important one, for at least two reasons. First, it is crucial to develop reliable and valid diagnostic criteria in order to study the aetiology of the disorders and then utilize that knowledge to develop rational and testable treatment strategies. Heterogeneity adds variance to each of these steps that may reduce both the reliability of diagnosis and also the statistical power of experimental designs to detect treatment effects. Second, the development of newer generations of psychopharmacological treatments holds the promise of matching more appropriate and efficacious medications with specific syndromes or types of symptoms. This trend underscores the importance of differential diagnosis in determining what treatment a patient will receive. Heterogeneity within a diagnostic category complicates achievement of this goal."

Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, depersonalisation disorder and dissociative identity disorder. People who experience a traumatic event will often have some degree of dissociation during the event itself or in the following hours, days or weeks. For example, the event seems ‘unreal’ or the person feels detached from what’s going on around them as if watching the events on television. In most cases, the dissociation resolves without the need for treatment. Some people, however, develop a dissociative disorder that requires treatment. Dissociative disorders are controversial and complex problems that need specific diagnosis, treatment and support. If you are concerned that you or a loved one may have a dissociative disorder, it is important to seek professional help. Symptoms Symptoms and signs of dissociative disorders depend on the type and severity, but may include: Feeling disconnected from yourself Problems with handling intense emotions Sudden and unexpected shifts in mood – for example, feeling very sad for no reason Depression or anxiety problems, or both Feeling as though the world is distorted or not real (called ‘derealisation’)Memory problems that aren’t linked to physical injury or medical conditions Other cognitive (thought-related) problems such as concentration problems Significant memory lapses such as forgetting important personal information Feeling compelled to behave in a certain way Identity confusion – for example, behaving in a way that the person would normally find offensive or abhorrent.

Chad Baker, Getty Images Organic compounds are called \"\"organic\"\" because they are associated with living organisms. These molecules form the basis for life. They are studied in great detail in the chemistry disciplines of organic chemistry and biochemistry. There are four main types or classes of organic compounds that are found in all living things. These are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. In addition, there are other organic compounds that may be found in or produced by some organisms. All organic compounds contain carbon, usually bonded to hydrogen. Other elements may also be present."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. I think that we must have the same textbook because I had the same exact answer. What I found on page 115 was that in each phospholipid molecule, there is a head which is hydrophilic (loves water) and the tails of the molecule are hydrophobic (hate water). The structure allows them to form boundaries between two watery environments. The membrane is a phospholipid bilayer and what happens is that the hydrophilic heads are facing the water, while the tails are on the other side meeting other tails, and the heads are duplicated on the bottom.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Energy and Metabolism Scientists use the term bioenergetics to discuss the concept of energy flow ( [link]) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish what has been used, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. All of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that use energy and those that release energy, are the cell’s metabolism. Most life forms on earth get their energy from the sun. Plants use photosynthesis to capture sunlight, and herbivores eat those plants to obtain energy. Carnivores eat the herbivores, and decomposers digest plant and animal matter. Metabolism of Carbohydrates The metabolism of sugar (a simple carbohydrate) is a classic example of the many cellular processes that use and produce energy. Living things consume sugar as a major energy source, because sugar molecules have a great deal of energy stored within their bonds."

The proteins are of two general types, structural and adhesive. The structural proteins, collagen and elastin, are the dominant matrix proteins. At least 10 different types of collagen are present in various tissues. The most common, type I collagen, is the most abundant protein in vertebrate animals, accounting for nearly 25 percent of the total protein in the body. The various collagen types share structural features, all being composed of three intertwined polypeptide chains. In some collagens the chains are linked together by covalent bonds, yielding a ropelike structure of great tensile strength. Indeed, the toughness of leather, chemically treated animal skin, is due to its content of collagen. Elastin is also a cross-linked protein, but, instead of forming rigid coils, it imparts elasticity to tissues."

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.

"text": "\"Home »Biology What Types of Organic Molecules Make Up a Cell Membrane? By Sarah Quinlan; Updated March 09, 2018An animal cell membrane is the barrier between the inside of the cell and the external environment, similar to skin. The membrane controls the movement of substances like nutrients and wastes across the membrane, into and out of the cell. The membrane structure is a fluid mosaic made of three types of organic molecules: lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Lipids The basic building blocks of a cell membrane are phospholipids. Phospholipids contain a hydrophobic (insoluble in water) end made up of two fatty acid chains of nonpolar molecules such as carbons and hydrogens. The other end is hydrophilic (soluble in water) and contains polar phosphate molecules. These phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with their hydrophilic end group exposed to water on each side of the membrane and the hydrophobic nonpolar molecules protected inside the double layer. The lipid layer comprises approximately half of the entire mass of the membrane, depending on the membrane type. Cholesterol is another type of lipid within a cell membrane."

"text": "\"Functional Groups and Biomolecules Identifying Functional Groups Reactive atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus are present in many organic molecules. Because the chemical behavior of many reactive atoms or groups of atoms is well characterized, the presence and position of specific functional groups on an organic molecule can be used to predict the chemical behavior of that biomolecule. Functional groups are a set of commonly found groups of atoms covalently bonded to carbon in organic molecules. The unique functional groups present on a biomolecule determine reactivity, solubility, and other physical properties that lead to its biological role in living organisms. Understanding how common functional groups affect chemical reactivity improves our ability to understand the chemical behavior and cellular roles of all biomolecules. In structural models depicting functional groups, a common convention is using a capital R to represent the rest, or remainder, of a molecule. R often represents a simple hydrocarbon chain, but can represent more complex organic arrangements when they are not relevant to the topic of discussion. As a general rule, the dash in R― indicates a single covalent bond between the functional group and a carbon atom located in the remainder of the molecule. Alcohols Alcohols are biomolecules that contain at least one hydroxyl group (R―OH). The simplest of all oxygen-containing functional groups, hydroxyl groups add polarity to organic molecules because of the strong electronegative nature of oxygen atoms."

In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements. Carbon It is often said that life is “carbon-based.” This means that carbon atoms, bonded to other carbon atoms or other elements, form the fundamental components of many, if not most, of the molecules found uniquely in living things.

Although poisons have been the subject of practical lore since ancient times, their systematic study is often considered to have begun during the 16th century, when the German-Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus first stressed the chemical nature of poisons. It was Paracelsus who introduced the concept of dose and studied the actions of poisons through experimentation. It was not until the 19th century, however, that the Spaniard Matthieu Orfila, the attending physician to Louis XVIII, correlated the chemistry of a toxin with the biological effects it produces in a poisoned individual. Both concepts continue to be fundamental to an understanding of modern toxicology. Poisoning involves four elements: the poison, the poisoned organism, the injury to the cells, and the symptoms and signs or death. These four elements represent the cause, subject, effect, and consequence of poisoning. To initiate the poisoning, the organism is exposed to the toxic chemical. When a toxic level of the chemical is accumulated in the cells of the target tissue or organ, the resultant injury to the cells disrupts their normal structure or function. Symptoms and toxic signs then develop, and, if the toxicity is severe enough, death may result.dog; chocolate; poison Why chocolate is bad for dogs."

These molecule types each have at least two major functions and all interact in complex ways, sometimes producing combined molecules as well. DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS IS HOW BIG MOLECULES ARE BUILT FROM BASIC COMPONENTSA stable molecule, big or small, will have electrons in all appropriate places (all of the orbitals will be occupied by electrons, native or borrowed), and not spontaneously link with other molecules. When the bigger organic molecules are being made from small pieces, bonds in the original component molecules must be broken and parts taken off to provide places for new bonds to form. This is how large molecules are built from smaller components. Such construction of molecules, a process called synthesis, is done almost universally with a process called dehydration synthesis, with the removal of a hydrogen from one component and a hydroxyl from the other (H + OH combine to form H 2 O, so the components lose water or dehydrate). When large molecules are broken down, the process happens in reverse - the bond between parts is broken, with a hydrogen placed on one and hydroxide on the other. Since water is \"\"split\"\" to do this, the process is called hydrolysis (\"\"water breaking\"\") and occurs in such processes as digestion, and when molecules are not useful and get broken down in cells for use as energy or component sources.

Once known as desert rats, the gerbil subfamily includes about 110 species of African, Indian, and Asian rodents, including sand rats and jirds, all of which are adapted to arid habitats. Most are primarily active during the day, making them diurnal [1] (but some species, including the common household pet, exhibit crepuscular behavior), and almost all are omnivorous. Gerbils are related to mice and rats; they all belong to the family Muridae. One Mongolian species, Meriones unguiculatus, also known as the clawed jird, is a gentle and hardy animal that has become a popular small house pet. It was first brought from China to Paris in the 19th century. [ 2] It was brought to the United States much later, in 1954, by Dr. Victor Schwentker for use in research. [ 3] Notably, it is illegal to keep gerbils as pets in California and New Zealand.

"text": "\"Mice and Rat Diseases/Infections Chronic Murine Pneumonia (CMP) or Murine Mycoplasmosis: Is the most significant and serious bacterial infection of mice and rats. It is caused by the rather unusual bacterium, Mycoplasma pulmonis. This organism is relatively difficult to isolate because it cannot be grown in the laboratory using ordinary culture methods. This makes diagnosis of CMP more difficult except for the fact that the disease is so very common and well recognized. For this reason, CMP is usually diagnosed by signs of illness, without attempts to isolate the causative bacterium. Signs of CMP include sniffling, sneezing, squinting, red-brown tears, rough hair coat, and labored and audible respiration. If the inner ear becomes involved, a severe, often incapacitating, head tilt usually develops. In colony situations, this disease can seriously affect the reproductive capacity of female rodents, resulting in infertility and reduced litter sizes. Because this disease tends to have a very chronic (long-lasting) course, afflicted individuals should receive antibiotic treatment as soon as the first signs are recognized. Antibiotics can be added to the drinking water for long periods."

Chalmers Current as of 15 August 2014Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-384730-0.00078-1 Get rights and content Summary This article is a revision of the previous edition article by R. W. A. Girdwood, H. V. Smith, volume 1, pp 487–497, © 1999, Elsevier Ltd. Abstract The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium, which is chlorine-resistant, is generally considered to be a waterborne pathogen, but foodborne transmission also occurs and has caused outbreaks of the gastrointestinal illness cryptosporidiosis. Clinical diagnosis is by stool testing. Two species account for most human infections: Cryptosporidium hominis is anthroponotic and Cryptosporidium parvum is zoonotic. Standard methods for detection of Cryptosporidium in food have not yet been published, but those for detection in water have been adapted and applied to some food items. Foods consumed raw, or with miniminal processing, such as fresh produce, those that could be contaminated by poor quality water, or susceptible to contamination from food handlers, are the most likely vehicles. Keywords Cryptosporidiosis; Cryptosporidium; Detection; Gastrointestinal; Parasite; Protozoa;Typing Characteristics of the Genus Protozoa found in the gastric glands of laboratory mice were first described and named Cryptosporidium by Tyzzer in 1907, followed by further observations in mice, rabbits, and chickens. Cryptosporidium was first recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality in turkeys in the 1950s, as a cause of scouring in calves in the early 1970s, and gastrointestinal disease in humans in 1976. Although infection has been reported in all vertebrate classes, the main health risks are of gastrointestinal disease in humans, young ruminants, reptiles and birds, and renal and respiratory disease in birds. Respiratory disease is seen occasionally in young ruminants and severely immunocompromised humans. Disease in fish and reptiles is poorly described."

Clinical manifestations,which can be present in varying degrees, include prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, mentalretardation, irritability in infancy, hyperactivity in childhood, microcephaly, short palpebral fissures,smooth philtrum, thin vermilion border of upper lip, small distal phalanges, and ventricular septaldefects. Although the exact amount of alcohol consumption that will produce fetal damage is unknown, the risk and extent of abnormalities are most likely to be increased when the daily intake of pure alcohol exceeds 2 ounces. The periods of gestation during which the alcohol is most likely to result in fetal damage are three to four and a half months after conception and during the lasttrimester. Abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy is recommended.fetal assessment determination of the well-being of the fetus; techniques and procedures include: (1) medical and nursing histories and physical examination of the mother, (2) assays of amnioticfluid obtained by amniocentesis, (3) ultrasonography, (4) chemical assessment of placental function, (5) electronic and ultrasonic fetal heart rate monitoring, and (6) chorionic villus sampling. Extensiveand thorough assessment of the health status of the fetus is indicated when maternalcharacteristics, obstetrical complications, and familial and genetic factors place the fetus at risk. Amniotic fluid assay is most often done to establish the diagnosis of a genetic disorder, to monitorthe fetus sensitized against the mother's rh factor, or to determine fetal lung maturity. Cellsfloating in the amniotic fluid sample can be examined to detect genetic disorders caused by chromosomal abnormalities and to detect certain metabolic aberrations. neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly are detected by analyzing the amniotic fluid for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). When an open neural tube defect is present, the amount of alpha-fetoprotein can be increased as much as eight times the normal value."

The most common color is “agouti” (brown) however through selective breeding lots of different colors and markings are available nowadays. The average life span of a pet gerbil is about 3-4 years but they can live up to 5 years. Mongolian gerbils live in colonies in the wild and therefore should be kept in at least (same sex) pairs as pets. They groom each other, play and sleep (often piled up) together. It is best to get two ore more gerbils that are already bonded. If you add a gerbil later, you would have to do a 2-3 week quarantine (different airspace) to avoid transmitting contagious diseases. Once you are sure that all gerbils are healthy, you can start with a slow introduction (about 15 minutes per day or so) on neutral territory (like the bath tub). This might take only a day or two or a week or more. You can also try the “split cage” method."

"title": "http://www.ifst.org/knowledge-centre/information-statements/cryptosporidium\nCryptosporidium",
"text": "\"Cryptosporidium Printer-friendly version December 2013Cryptosporidium is a genus of parasitic protozoa that can cause cryptosporidiosis, a gastro-intestinal illness in humans, cattle and some other animals. In people, it causes abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, headaches and fever, but the infection is usually self-limiting and resolves within a few weeks. In immunocompromised patients, the infection can be more serious; it can become prolonged and rarely, fatal as a result of dehydration caused by chronic diarrhoea. These protozoa complete their life cycles in one host and their oocysts (spores) are highly infectious. It is primarily a waterborne disease spread through the faecal-oral route; the oocysts can also be transmitted by handling infected animals or person-to-person contact. The parasite can be found in soil, water or food and may be transmitted through surfaces that have been contaminated with the faeces of infected people or animals; Cryptosporidium requires a host in which to multiply and cannot grow in foods or water. The majority of water treatment plants cannot completely guarantee removal of all Cryptosporidium oocysts from the water as the oocysts are very small and resistant to chlorine, the disinfectant commonly used in these plants, so rendering much of the treatment process irrelevant. Since The Water Supply (Water Quality) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 as amended by The Water Supply (Water Quality) (Amendment) Regulations (SI 2000 No./ 31854 came into force there has been a reduction in reported cases, as demonstrated by health surveillance data. The extent to which recreational waterways such as lakes, and private wells continue to pose an occasional risk to health remains unclear, but other sources of contamination remain a cause for concern. Cryptosporidium is inactivated by UV, heat, freezing and desiccation, so heat-treated, frozen and dried foods should be safe unless contaminated after processing."

"text": "Home → Collections → Florida Atlantic University UCF tuition will increase 1.7 percent starting this fall July 25, 2013 | By Denise-Marie Ordway, Orlando Sentinel UCF's undergraduate tuition will increase 1.7 percent for the 2013-14 school year. That rise adds $52.50 to the cost of going to college for a Florida student taking 30 credit hours during the academic year. Tuition for Florida residents will increase from $103.32 per credit hour to $105.07. There had been some confusion over whether state universities were required to boost tuition by an amount tied to inflation after Gov. Rick Scott vetoed a 3 percent tuition increase that the Florida Legislature had approved for public colleges and universities. Two months ago, trustees at the University of Central Florida approved a $1.4 billion operating budget that included no tuition increase for the upcoming school year. But after university leaders statewide scrutinized the state's tuition provision, it was determined that a 1.7 percent increase was mandatory for public universities. UCF officials said that at least 30 percent of the money it collects through the tuition increase will go toward financial aid for needy students. The increase is expected to generate about $1.6 million. Some other public universities, including the University of Florida in Gainesville and Florida State University in Tallahassee, also have opted to use a portion of the new tuition money to help low-income students pay for college. UF also will use some of the money to fund campus repairs, according to an official there."

This database will benefit UCF students and faculty, especially in programs including Modern Languages, International Affairs and Global Strategies, College of Business Administration, Public Affairs and International Studies. Initially Mango Languages Learning is only available on an annual subscription of $30,000 based on UCF’s FTE, but after careful negotiations and the opportunity to compete in the Technology Fee process, Mango offered a one-time purchase model with a nominal maintenance fee. UCF owns the content and all lessons in perpetuity. Purchasing the contents outright and not having to pay a substantial annual cost makes this offer an exceptional offer. Mango Languages and Learning is both a database and a self-learning software. It includes 60 languages with lessons that teach repaid real-world conversation skills with extensive depth in new languages for students. Mango Languages will allow fair use of the content for educational purposes. It can be easily used online on a desktop or as mobile app, making it versatile in supporting students learning on the go. Access would be available to all UCF students and employees, with off campus access enabled by Shibboleth authentication."

"text": "\"Gabrielle Russon Contact Reporter Orlando Sentinel Which schools cost more – UCF, FSU, UF or USF? Privacy Policy Here is good news for UCF students: The university is planning to freeze tuition, as well as room and board and other fees, for the 2015-16 school year. University of Central Florida trustees are meeting Thursday to approve a $1.49 billion budget, and tuition is expected to remain the same for the second year in a row — after at least a decade of rising rates at UCF. The University of Florida, Florida State University and University of South Florida are also capping their tuition rates at 2014-15 levels. \"\" There was a desire by the state level to hold costs down for students,\"\" said William Merck, UCF chief financial officer. \"\" Everybody agreed this is something we should probably do. \"\" At UCF, tuition will cost $212 per undergraduate credit hour for tuition and fees. A full-time student could expect to pay $21,834 for tuition, room and board, books, transportation and personal expenses for the 2015-16 year, according to the university's financial-aid office. If students are not from Florida, they would pay $749 a credit hour, equaling about $36,858 for the full cost of the school year. In comparison, a UF undergraduate student who is a state resident is estimated to need $20,590 for tuition, housing, personal expenses and other costs for the school year."

"text": "Tuition Remission The term “tuition remission” refers to all ways that the university pays tuition costs for students. Tuition remission includes tuition waivers and tuition payments. For the student receiving tuition remission, the net effect will be the same—the university will pay a portion of your tuition. Tuition waivers come from the university and tuition payments come from the employing units. Level of Tuition Remission The level of tuition remission will be commensurate with the level of the student's assistantship appointment: A half-time appointment (10 hours per week) receives remission of one-half of the resident (in-state) tuition A full-time appointment (20 hours per week) receives full resident (in-state) tuition remission The dollar value per credit hour of tuition remission is the same for master’s, specialist, and doctoral students. Tuition remission requires full-time enrollment in required coursework taken as part of your degree program. See Full-time Enrollment Requirements and Financial Information in the Graduate Catalog for more information. Tuition remission covers the resident (in-state) tuition fee, but not the local university fees (student activity fee, athletic fee, transportation fee, etc.). The current resident tuition rate is $288.16 per credit hour for graduate courses. All other fees associated with a resident credit hour are local university fees."

"text": "\"Gabrielle Russon Contact Reporter Orlando Sentinel Which schools cost more – UCF, FSU, UF or USF? Privacy Policy Here is good news for UCF students: The university is planning to freeze tuition, as well as room and board and other fees, for the 2015-16 school year. University of Central Florida trustees are meeting Thursday to approve a $1.49 billion budget, and tuition is expected to remain the same for the second year in a row — after at least a decade of rising rates at UCF. The University of Florida, Florida State University and University of South Florida are also capping their tuition rates at 2014-15 levels. \"\" There was a desire by the state level to hold costs down for students,\"\" said William Merck, UCF chief financial officer. \"\" Everybody agreed this is something we should probably do. \"\" At UCF, tuition will cost $212 per undergraduate credit hour for tuition and fees. A full-time student could expect to pay $21,834 for tuition, room and board, books, transportation and personal expenses for the 2015-16 year, according to the university's financial-aid office. If students are not from Florida, they would pay $749 a credit hour, equaling about $36,858 for the full cost of the school year. In comparison, a UF undergraduate student who is a state resident is estimated to need $20,590 for tuition, housing, personal expenses and other costs for the school year."

( Gabrielle Russon / Orlando Sentinel)Gabrielle Russon Contact Reporter Orlando Sentinel The number of Florida college students charged a surcharge for taking too many credits has more than doubled Privacy Policy Stephanie Samples struggled to find the right major at UCF. Her passion was theater and singing, but she wanted a stable paycheck. She stumbled in her science classes when she tried psychology and a health-related field. Finally, before her junior year at UCF, she chose graphic design – the right fit. By then it was too late to avoid a problem facing a growing number of Florida university students who pay double tuition because they take credit hours above what's needed to graduate. About 3,770 students were charged about $2.35 million in excess credit-hour surcharges during the fall 2015 semester at UCF, University of Florida, Florida State and South Florida, school records show. A year earlier, only about 1,760 students paid about $851,120 in penalties at the four schools. The fees are paid most often by students who drop classes or change majors and in doing so exceed by 10 percent the typical amount of hours needed for a degree. Those who earn excessive credits while seeking double majors must pay the fee upfront and then get reimbursed after graduation. \"\""

This plan encompasses statutory tuition, designated tuition, differential tuition, and mandatory fees. Although certain mandatory fees may be changed by student referendum, the increase in those fees will not be assessed until the expiration of the guaranteed plan for those currently enrolled. Each year a new guaranteed tuition and fee plan will be applied to incoming students not previously enrolled. The plan will include four-year, three-year, two-year, and one-year rates for freshman through senior students based on the student's completed semester credit hours. Upon the expiration date of the assigned plan, if the student has not completed the degree requirements, tuition and fees will be charged at the optional 1 year rate in effect for the next academic year. The guaranteed plan is based upon a continuous clock that starts when the student first enrolls and expires at the end of the guaranteed time period. A waiver process for the assigned plan end date will be established for students who are enrolled in programs that require more than 120 credit hours for graduation, and for unexpected withdrawals due to illness or catastrophic events.

Startup Raise.me developed a program that allows high school students to start banking college scholarship money. What's the catch? The money is tied to students' individual achievements. The better they do in school, the more engaged they are with their communities, the more money they earn from Raise.me's college partners. There are 76 colleges on Raise.me's platform, including Penn State, UMass and Tulane. Raise.me cofounder Preston Silverman hopes to increase that to 100 colleges by the end of the year. As long as students meet the college's GPA requirements, they can start earning money from as many as they choose -- between $500 to $1,000 per achievement.

"text": "What Are The Average Grade Point Average (GPA), ACT and/or SAT Scores For Students Accepted Into College? The average SAT scores and GPA levels for students being admitted to college varies every year, and is heavily dependent on the types of schools being considered. If you want to get into a top school with financial aid and/or scholarships, you will have to aim for high scores in your SAT, SAT IIs, and a very good GPA. On the other hand, if you are applying to state or community colleges, your requirements will be far lower. Here is a look at the average test scores/GPAs for college, and the higher requirements for elite schools. Community College Most community colleges do not have a SAT requirement, which means that you can get in with pretty much any kind of score. Similarly, their GPA requirements are very lax. You can get into community college with a 3.0 or even a 2.5 GPA. Many students use community colleges to set a high college GPA before transferring to a two or four year institution. State Schools If your only aim is to get into college, then average test scores and a decent GPA will be enough to get you accepted."

In addition to the 4 UC's you asked for, I went ahead and put the average GPA of all the UC Campuses. Stanford by the way is not a UC, and everyone that I know (over 10 people) who got into Stanford had a 4.0 GPA UNWEIGHTED, you might get into Stanford if you get recruited for a sport.

"text": "\"Resources ›For Students & Parents What Is a Weighted GPA? Learn the meaning of a weighted GPA in the college admissions process Share Flipboard Email Print Report Card. Carrie Bottomley / E+ / Getty Imagesby Allen Grove Updated September 13, 2017A weighted GPA is calculated by awarding additional points to classes that are considered more challenging than the basic curriculum. When a high school has a weighted grading system, Advanced Placement, Honors, and other types of college preparatory classes are given bonus weight when a student's GPA is calculated. Colleges, however, may recalculate a student's GPA differently. Why Does Weighted GPA Matter? A weighted GPA is based on the simple idea that some high school classes are much harder than others, and these hard classes should carry more weight. In other words, an 'A' in AP Calculus represents a much greater accomplishment than an 'A' in remedial algebra, so students taking the most challenging courses should be rewarded for their efforts. Having a good high school academic record is likely to be the most important part of your college application. Selective colleges will be looking for strong grades in the most challenging classes you can take."

Students who wish to take one or more courses, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, without applying to and being accepted to a degree program, are non-degree students. Many students who begin as non-degree apply to and are later accepted into a degree program. There are several ways to register for classes as a non-degree student and several dates to keep in mind depending on which specific course or courses will best meet your needs. Seats in many of our highest demand courses are held for our degree students until close to the beginning of each semester. After a certain date, however, most courses with space remaining will be open to non-degree students. Non-degree students are subject to the same requirements in terms of prerequisites and departmental permission as our degree students, so it is important to understand the requirements for any course in which you are interested.

"text": "50 Most Affordable Online RN to BSN Programs 2018By Contributing Editor Degree Finder For Nurses123Search Colleges Sponsored Schools In the world of nursing, as in many fields, professional advancement is not dependent solely upon what a phenomenal nurse you are, but also which degrees you obtained while you were becoming a phenomenal nurse. Finding an affordable program that ROI’s is pretty high up there too. While the rate of pay is not always the biggest difference between RNs who have their two-year degree, and those who have their Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing, the opportunity to continue growing into more challenging and dynamic positions as a nurse certainly is. Registered nurses who have their BSN degree have the opportunity to achieve a masters of science in nursing, as well as to become nurse supervisors, and have access to certificate programs that lead to an increase in pay and valuable professional experiences. Plus, the American Nurses Association has encouraged all two-year degree holding RNs to go for their BSN, while they determine if they are going to make the four-year title a minimum requirement for practicing nursing!Okay, we have convinced you to go for the BSN. Congratulations! Now how much is it going to cost you? While working hard as an RN, finding an affordable degree program should factor in as much, if not more than any other variable. Our editors have gathered the top 50 most affordable online RN-to-BSN completion programs in the country, paying close attention not only to schools whose nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, or CCNE (all of the following are), and not only fully online nursing programs (all of the following are that also), but also schools that are less than $340 per credit hour (based on online and/or out-of-state cost per credit).

Share Share Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 is now available for download and testing The release is the second and final beta in the Ubuntu 15.04 development cycle and will be followed by a Release Candidate build on April 16, ahead of the final release on April 23. Beta 2 is of particular interest as it is the first milestone release that the regular Unity-using version of Ubuntu takes part in. What’s New in Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 2Now, before anyone gets too giddy about seeing what’s new, remember that Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) is a ‘maintenance release’ and will be largely similar to the 14.04 LTS and 14.10 releases made last Bug fixes, polish and small usability improvements are the Vivid Vervet’s calling card. Even the most significant change to take place in Ubuntu for a few years, the move to System D as the distribution’s init system, is largely imperceptible. Unity 7.3Ubuntu’s default desktop shell Unity receives a fresh round of refinements this release cycle. Locally Integrated Menus (LIM) are enabled by default in Ubuntu 15.04, embedding app menus inside the window border rather than placing them at the top of the screen — though it’s only with this beta that locally integrated menus show up on unfocused windows. A small change as it may be it is, as we noted when the ‘Always Show Menus’ option arrived in January, one that addresses the concerns some users had over the disappearing mouseover menus discoverability for newcomers. If you don’t like locally integrated menus you don’t have to use them."

For Linux, I have created the ltunify tool which is described in detail on my article Logitech Unifying for Linux: Reverse Engineering and unpairing tool. Quick installation installations if you are in a hurry:sudo apt-get install git gcc git clone https://git.lekensteyn.nl/ltunify.git cd ltunify make install-home This will fetch the sources and install the program to $HOME/bin/ltunify, if $HOME/bin did not exist before, then you may have to re-login or reopen your terminal. After doing so, you can pair a new device with the sudo ltunify pair command and unpair devices with a command like sudo ltunify unpair mouse (be sure to have a second device that you can use after detaching your Unifying device!). A graphical tool is also available, Solaar. It has better support for functionality of newer devices such as swapping the functionality of FN keys. It is available though the ppa:daniel.pavel/solaar PPA (if you do not know how to install such a \"\"PPA\"\", see What are PPAs and how do I use them? )."

Each release has a version number and a codename. The most important thing to note here is that every 2 years a LTS (Long Term Support) release is made."

Following its release, Linux Mint 2.0 \"\"Barbara\"\" was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase. Linux Mint had few users from these early versions until the release of Linux Mint 3.0, \"\"Cassandra.\"\" [ 10] [11]Linux Mint 2.0 was based on Ubuntu 6.10, [12] using its package repositories and using it as a codebase. From there, Linux Mint followed its own codebase, building each release from its previous one, but continued to use the package repositories from the latest Ubuntu release. This resulted in making the base between the two systems almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between the two distributions rather than having Mint become a fork. [ citation needed]In 2008, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 \"\"Elyssa.\"\""

"text": "Mr. Robot TV Show Now Uses Back Track Linux's Successor, Kali Linux, for Hacking GOKali Linux is used for penetration testing purposes Jul 27, 2015 21:45 GMT · By Marius Nestor · Share: I wrote an interesting editorial a while ago related to the Mr. Robot TV show that runs on the USA Network channel every Wednesday, starring Rami Malek as a computer hacker who goes by the name of Elliot. At the point in time, I was very impressed with the level of information offered on the show about various open-source, UNIX, and Linux technologies. The first episode was speechless, as the characters talked about the GNOME and KDE desktop environments. Since then, four other episodes have aired and the storyline has taken a different direction, towards hacking huge companies. Anyway, the fifth episode of Mr. Robot has shown us, Linux geeks, that the characters in the show are using Kali Linux to hack people. As you might know, Kali Linux is the successor to the extremely popular Back Track Linux penetration testing and security auditing distribution, based on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. I have to admit that I was very pleased to see Kali Linux used in Mr. Robot's computers. Some reported on the Internet that they also spotted the GNOME 2 desktop environment on the acclaimed TV show, as well as other popular piece of opens-source software.# Mr. Robot # Kali Linux # Back Track # penetration testing # hacking Related · Hot right now · Latest news Exton|OS Light Distro Brings Linux Kernel 4.0 and Openbox to Ubuntu 15.04 Debian GNU/Linux No Longer Supports the SPARC Hardware Architecture Manjaro Linux Needs Your Help, Here's How You Can Contribute - Updated Mesa 3D Graphics Library 10.6.3 Fixes Many Issues in the Nouveau Video Driver Mr. Robot running Kali Linux New Linux Apps Smart OS: A complete and modern server operating system based on the Open Indiana Solaris OSQubes OS: A Xen-based Linux distribution the provides strong security for desktop computing Opera: Surf the Internet in a safer, faster and easier way with the Opera browser for Linux GNU nano: A CLI text editor originally designed as a Pico editor clone with several enhancements Stellarium: An Open Source, advanced and very powerful 3D astronomical sky renderer application Pg Admin III: The world's most popular and Open Source administration platform for Postgre SQL databases Linux Kernel: The core of the Linux operating systems, created and maintained by Linus Torvalds Reader comments Load old comments"

Installing Guest additions from the repositories In case we have installed the OSE edition of Virtual Box from the repositories we can add the guest additions from the repositories in the guest. This will install guest additions matching the Virtual Box version as obtained from the repositories. It is not recommended to install these in newer releases of Virtual Box as obtained from the Oracle repository (see below)."

We've been exploring the first beta, which is released on 26 February. The Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 1 desktop. Image: Terry Relph-Knight/ZDNet As we reported in our preview of Ubuntu 14.10 last year, the Ubuntu developers had announced that development for the desktop would split into separate releases with standard Unity7 and converged Unity8 desktops. What this means right now is that users downloading and installing the current (Unity7) Ubuntu 15.04 release will see an Ubuntu Desktop that, at least as far as this beta is concerned, is virtually identical to Ubuntu 14.10. Those trying the (Unity8) Ubuntu Desktop Next 15.04 development release will see an unfinished operating system that still retains much of the look and feel of Ubuntu for Phones. Hence, in part, the lack of excitement. When the desktop was the development focus, some interesting new features would appear in the betas of almost every release. However, for the last two years Canonical's energies have mainly been focused on the development of Ubuntu for Phones, and it has become clear that a fully converged desktop running Unity8 and the Mir display server would only emerge some time after the launch of the first Ubuntu phones.

T he term species is defined as a group of organisms which interbreeds under natural circumstances, producing viable, fertile offspring, and which is reproductively isolated from other groups. This definition is known as the Biological Species Concept. One way of evaluating this concept is to consider that a species will experience gene flow, which will tend to maintain genetic compatibility between members. Conversely, organisms that do not exchange genetic information - either through geographic or behavioral isolation - will experience genetic drift, and tend to become increasingly different over time. Speciation How are species formed? Geographic isolation probably is the most obvious explanation, but other possible modes include: Allopatric speciation: geographic isolation which impedes gene flow between two groups in a population (e.g. a mountain range, river, etc. ) Parapatric speciation: partial geographic isolation, coupled with selective pressures, that maintains species boundaries even with some gene flow. Sympatric speciation: high selection pressures that create species boundaries without geographic boundaries. The Ecological Species Concept emphasizes the role of selection in maintaining species boundaries, rather than purely abiding by the strict rules of allopatricity (total geographic isolation)."

Photo © Brian Dunne / Shutterstock. Evolution is change over time. Under this broad definition, evolution can refer to a variety of changes that occur over time—the uplifting of mountains, the wandering of riverbeds, or the creation of new species. To understand the history of life on Earth though, we need to be more specific about what kinds of changes over time we're talking about. That's where the term biological evolution comes in. Biological evolution refers to the changes over time that occur in living organisms. An understanding of biological evolution—how and why living organisms change over time—enables us to understand the history of life on Earth. They key to understanding biological evolution lies in a concept known as as descent with modification. Living things pass on their traits from one generation to the next."

"text": "\"Concept of the species: Biological Concept and Other concepts Cool Breeze Science and Technology Biology Created: 19 January 2010 Hits: 2860Concept of the species The species is a vague concept that there are a multitude of definitions in the literature. In its most simplistic, the concept of the species can distinguish different types of living organisms. Different definitions identify more precisely the criteria for distinguishing the species. Biological Concept The definition most commonly cited is that of the biological concept of the case statement by Ernst Mayr (1942) \"\"Species are groups of population natural, actually or potentially interbreeding, which are genetically isolated from other similar groups In this definition, he then added that this case will lead to viable and fertile offspring Thus, the species is the largest unit of population in which the gene flow is possible in natural conditions, individuals of a species is genetically isolated from other sets equivalent in terms of reproduction. The biological concept of species is therefore based entirely on the reproductive isolation (or genetic isolation), that is to say, all biological factors (barriers) that would prevent members of two distinct species of generate viable and fertile offspring. According Theodosius Dobzhansky, it is possible to distinguish the barriers involved before the mating or fertilization and after intervening barriers Prezygotic barriers will prevent the coupling between two individuals of different species, or the fertilization of ova if mating takes place. If fertilization takes place after all, postzygotic barriers will prevent the zygote hybrid to become an adult viable and fertile. It is this reproductive isolation which will prevent the gene pool of each species to exchange freely with others and thus induce conservation of characters unique to each species For some species, reproductive isolation appears so evident (between an animal and a plant for example) but in the case of closely related species, the barriers are much less clear. It is important to note that reproduction between individuals of the same species should be possible under natural conditions and that the offspring must be viable and fertile. For example, the horse and the donkey are two species interbreeding but their hybrids (mule, hinny) seldom are the offspring is not fruitful, there are indeed two different species."

Speciation forms a conceptual bridge between microevolution, changes in allele frequencies within a population, and macroevolution, the broad pattern of evolution over time. Microevolutionary mechanisms include mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Macroevolution includes the origin of new groups of organisms, such as mammals or flowering plants, through a series of speciation events. Concept 24.1 The biological species concept emphasizes reproductive isolation Species is a Latin word meaning “kind” or “appearance. ”Traditionally, morphological differences have been used to distinguish species. Today, differences in physiology, biochemistry, behavior, and DNA sequences are also used to differentiate species.

Microevolution is the study of adaptive change in a population. Macroevolution addresses evolutionary changes above the species level. It deals with questions such as the appearance of evolutionary novelties (e.g., feathers and flight in birds) that can be used to define higher taxa. Speciation addresses the question of how new species originate and develop through the subdivision and subsequent divergence of gene pools. The fossil record chronicles two patterns of speciation: anagenesis and cladogenesis. Anagenesis, phyletic evolution, is the accumulation of changes associated with the gradual transformation of one species into another. Cladogenesis, branching evolution, is the budding of one or more new species from a parent species."

Before dealing with this question it is important to consider the differences between what a species is and how species come into being. The ‘what’ question deals with the main subject of this essay, how do you define a species. The ‘how’ question deals with processes and mechanisms. I would like to write about this part first; partly because it is the really contentious and interesting part of the question and partly to clear up any misunderstanding between definitions (what) and mechanisms (how). Species, at their most abstract, can be thought of individual historical entities. This is to say, like the most basic story outline, they have a beginning, middle and an end. Or, if you prefer, a birth, lifespan and a death. Just as all people do. So species, like people, exist at certain places and certain times."

Biotic diversity is thus, a metric revealing how available calories from bacteria and plants are distributed among plants, bacteria, fungus, and animals. Here is a representation done by the American Museum of Natural History depicting the percentage of creatures by their biological affiliations and their mass on earth.

Consider that insects account for over half of the creatures on earth by weight and variety of species. Among insects the vast majority by weight and the most diverse group on earth are beetle's; the coleopterans. Wildlife and global warming's impacts. What this means is that the large animals that we associate our own species with, many among the grouping called the chordates, are utterly dependent on the far more numerousness – and often unseen– crustaceans, arachnids and insects that have been developing on Earth for the past 300 million years."

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Biodiversity The variety of all living things; a contraction of biological diversity. Biodiversity can be measured on many biological levels ranging from genetic diversity within a species to the variety of ecosystems on Earth, but the term most commonly refers to the number of different species in a defined area. Recent estimates of the total number of species range from 7 to 20 million, of which only about 1.75 million species have been scientifically described. The best-studied groups include plants and vertebrates (phylum Chordata), whereas poorly described groups include fungi, nematodes, and arthropods. Species that live in the ocean and in soils remain poorly known. For most groups of species, there is a gradient of increasing diversity from the Poles to the Equator, and the vast majority of species are concentrated in the tropical and subtropical regions. Human activities, such as direct harvesting of species, introduction of alien species, habitat destruction, and various forms of habitat degradation (including environmental pollution), have caused dramatic losses of biodiversity; current extinction rates are estimated to be 100–1000 times higher than prehuman extinction rates. Some measure of biodiversity is responsible for providing essential functions and services that directly improve human life. For example, many medicines, clothing fibers, and industrial products and the vast majority of foods are derived from naturally occurring species."

Original pagination indicated within double brackets.]] [ [ p. 773]] Abstract Despite a number of advances in method in recent years, biogeography remains a field with a poorly developed philosophical core. As a result, its historical and ecological sides remain as isolated from one another as ever. In this essay I argue that a more unified approach to biogeographic studies will become possible only when workers realise that it is necessary to reject absolute space, \"\"geography as handmaiden\"\" approaches to distribution problems in favour of structuralist models compatible with both probabilistic spatial interaction and deterministic phylogenetic kinds of thinking. Pros and cons of regionalist, vicariance, and panbiogeographic approaches are weighed in this regard; it is shown that the primary objections of the latter schools to the approach of the former are vitiated when one dwells on second-order, rather than first-order, interpretations of regional faunal structure. This approach makes it possible to construct joint taxonomic/spatial models conducive to pattern analysis; the latter permits the genesis of hypotheses that can be tested through independently conceived theories of process (such as vicariance). An example of the kind of pattern study envisioned, involving generalised track depiction, is briefly described. A suggested cycle of research is thus laid out in which systematic revision becomes a function of a joint \"\"natural\"\" spatial and phylogenetic/historical approach to the subject. Keywords panbiogeography; biogeography; vicariance; Leon Croizat; Alfred Russel Wallace INTRODUCTIONThrough this essay I should like to make a plea that one would not think necessary: to return the \"\"geography\"\" to (historical) biogeography."

"text": "Race First published Wed May 28, 2008; substantive revision Wed Feb 17, 2016The concept of race has historically signified the division of humanity into a small number of groups based upon five criteria: (1) Races reflect some type of biological foundation, be it Aristotelian essences or modern genes; (2) This biological foundation generates discrete racial groupings, such that all and only all members of one race share a set of biological characteristics that are not shared by members of other races; (3) This biological foundation is inherited from generation to generation, allowing observers to identify an individual’s race through her ancestry or genealogy; (4) Genealogical investigation should identify each race’s geographic origin, typically in Africa, Europe, Asia, or North and South America; and (5) This inherited racial biological foundation manifests itself primarily in physical phenotypes, such as skin color, eye shape, hair texture, and bone structure, and perhaps also behavioral phenotypes, such as intelligence or delinquency. This historical concept of race has faced substantial scientific and philosophical challenge, with some important thinkers denying both the logical coherence of the concept and the very existence of races. Others defend the concept of race, albeit with substantial changes to the foundations of racial identity, which they depict as either socially constructed or, if biologically grounded, neither discrete nor essentialist, as the historical concept would have it. Both in the past and today, determining the boundaries of discrete races has proven to be most vexing and has led to great variations in the number of human races believed to be in existence. Thus, some thinkers categorized humans into only four distinct races (typically white or Caucasian, black or African, yellow or Asian, and red or Native American), and downplayed any biological or phenotypical distinctions within racial groups (such as those between Scandavians and Spaniards within the white or Caucasian race). Other thinkers classified humans into many more racial categories, for instance arguing that those humans “indigenous” to Europe could be distinguished into discrete Nordic, Alpine, and Mediterranean races. The ambiguities and confusion associated with determining the boundaries of racial categories have over time provoked a widespread scholarly consensus that discrete or essentialist races are socially constructed, not biologically real. However, significant scholarly debate persists regarding whether reproductive isolation, either during human evolution or through modern practices barring miscegenation, may have generated sufficient genetic isolation as to justify using the term race to signify the existence of non-discrete human groups that share not only physical phenotypes but also clusters of genetic material. In addition, scholarly debate exists concerning the formation and character of socially constructed, discrete racial categories. For instance, some scholars suggest that race is inconceivable without racialized social hierarchies, while others argue that egalitarian race relations are possible."

Nomenclature is not an end to systematics and taxonomy but is a necessity in organizing information about biodiversity. Nomenclature functions to provide labels (names) for all taxa at all levels in the hierarchy of life. Biological nomenclature is, to some degree, the parlance of systematic biology. It derives from the binomial (or binominal) nomenclature that was originally codified in the works of Linnaeus, Species Plantarum (1753) and Systema Naturae, 10th Edition (1758). These publications are the decided starting points for the modern biological nomenclature in most groups of plants and animals. Together with the presentation of the consistent binomial system of naming, Linnaeus also developed a system of organizing the diversity of life in a hierarchical classification. Latin was the important language of the time of Linnaeus and continues to be a critical language for international communication. As will be seen below the various Codes for nomenclature consider Latin to be an essential language."

More specifically, if the evolution process has caused organisms to evolve myriad other ways to survive longer and reproduce more, why does aging still exist? As summarized below, aging theories propose three different answers to this question and are based on three different versions of Darwin's survival of the fittest idea. Simple Deterioration Theories - Fundamental Limitations - \"\"Wear and Tear\"\"Many people believe that biological aging is simply the result of universal deteriorative processes such as oxidation, entropy, or wear and tear that cause aging in machinery, exterior paint, and other inanimate objects. These theories are superficially attractive if only human aging is considered but fail if life span characteristics of other species are also examined. As we learn in biology class, Darwin's \"\"survival of the fittest\"\" idea says that the evolution process causes organisms to acquire inheritable design characteristics or traits that help them survive longer and breed more. Deterioration and death from aging clearly does not help humans to live longer and breed more so why do we age? Wouldn't the evolution process have led to longer and longer lived animals eventually resulting in immortality? Contemporaries actually wrote Darwin and asked this question! The obvious answer is that aging results from fundamental limitations such as laws of physics or chemistry that, by definition, cannot be overcome by the evolution process."

Phylogeny uses evolutionary distance, or evolutionary relationship, as a way of classifying organisms (taxonomy). Phylogenetic relationship between organisms is given by the degree and kind of evolutionary distance. To understand this concept better, let us define taxonomy. Taxonomy is the science of naming, classifying and describing organisms. Taxonomists arrange the different organisms in taxa (groups). These are then further grouped together depending on biological similarities. This grouping of taxa reflects the degree of biological similarity. Systematics takes taxonomy one step further by elucidating new methods and theories that can be used to classify species. This classification is based on similarity traits and possible mechanisms of evolution."

"text": "\"Climate & Weather The Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its many mountains. Greater Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast, protected by Vancouver Island, have considerably less precipitation and more sunshine compared to BC's other coastal areas. As you can see from the charts, precipitation, as well as high and low temperatures, can vary considerably within Vancouver, Coast & Mountains. These two charts are most indicative of the weather within the region. Vancouver is situated on the south coast; Whistler is located within the region’s mountains. While this region can be damp during autumn and winter, it won't be excessively cold or snowy. However, its steep mountains – even those just a 20-minute drive from Vancouver – receive enormous snowfalls during the winter, creating superb conditions for winter sports. Down at sea level, golf is always in season – thanks to the mild climate, many of the south coast's championship courses are open for play all year round. This temperate weather allows for an active, outdoors-oriented lifestyle, is a major reason that Vancouver has been nicknamed \"\"Lotus Land. \"\" Spring This region's average daily temperatures range from 11-15 ºC; daytime highs are similar for inland communities such as Whistler, but evening temperatures tend to dip lower than those of coastal communities."

"text": "By Jane Mc Lean Updated 04/05/18Share Pin Email•••Vancouver, British Columbia, on the Pacific Coast of Canada and surrounded by mountains and water, is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada, after Toronto and Montreal. It has notably different weather conditions from much of the rest of the country. That includes Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal, three of the country's other most popular destinations. The Rocky Mountain home of Calgary can still get surprise snowstorms in the spring, and Eastern Canada is somewhat unpredictable and can be cold or warm, but Vancouver in May is reliably rainy with mild temperatures. May Weather in Vancouver Vancouver experiences a significant warmup in May, with afternoon highs going from an average of 59 F at the beginning of the month to 65 F by the end. Expect lows of averaging 46 F on May 1 to 52 F by May 31. The British Columbia coast’s climate is the most moderate in Canada, but there is rain—lots of it. In May, it rains in Vancouver about 13 days out of 31. As you would expect, it is cloudy much of the month. What to Pack While you won't need a winter coat or lots of warm layers, you do need to be prepared for the weather since it is not likely to be sunny and dry the entire time you are in Vancouver."

"text": "\"Acres burned in Canada in 2014 were three times the average According to a summary of the 2014 wildfire season in Canada prepared by Environment Canada, the number of acres burned in the country was three times the 20-year average, due primarily to heavy fire activity in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia. Here is how they summed it up:****“While conditions were not favourable for wildfires in most areas of the country in 2014, it was still a huge wildfire year in Canada. According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, although the absolute number of wildland fires was 10 per cent less than the 20-year average, the area burned was three times higher than the 20-year national average (4.6 million hectares vs. the normal 1.5 million hectares). So even with parts of Canada being, at times, soaked by heavy rains or underwater from floods, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia made up for it all with exceptional warmth and dryness that brought sparks to infernos in no time flat. In the Northwest Territories it started with a cold winter and scanty snows that left the ground and forest litter dry. With summer came clear skies and record warm temperatures that optimized already perfect conditions for fires to spread. The principal culprit was a stalled ridge of drying air anchored over the Mackenzie River valley for weeks. Temperatures from Tuktoyaktuk to Yellowknife averaged well above historic averages. The Mackenzie region averaged 1.6°C warmer than normal – the seventh warmest summer in 67 years. Yellowknife had 22 days in June and July at or above 25°C, compared to an average of eight, and only two days in June and three in July with rain."

Freezing day time temperatures are fairly rare at sea level, although there is enough overnight frost to warrant moving your tropical plants indoors for the winter. Along with the south coast of BC's mainland, the region enjoys a climate that is milder by far than the rest of Canada. Regional Variations Regional temperature variation is not extreme, but the south island and southern Gulf Islands do have average temperatures a few degrees warmer than the northern part of Vancouver Island. Variation in rainfall is considerable, however. Precipitation on the west coast is very high, earning the area the distinction of being classified as \"\"temperate rainforest\"\". Victoria and the southern Gulf Islands, on the other hand, enjoy a \"\"rain shadow\"\" effect, and have very moderate rainfall and many more hours of sunshine. Falling between these extremes are the island's east coast and northern tip, with the east coast being closer to the climate of the south, and the northern tip more nearly approaching conditions on the west coast. Vancouver Island average air temperature by month. Regional variations exist, but are not extreme, with greatest variation being in winter temperatures by elevation."

ZONE 1A: Coldest mountain and intermountain areas of the contiguous states Marked by a short growing season and relatively mild summer temperatures, Zone 1A includes the coldest regions west of the Rockies, excluding Alaska, and a few patches of cold country east of the Great Divide. The mild days and chilly nights during the growing season extend the bloom of summer perennials like columbines and Shasta daisies. If your garden gets reliable snow cover (which insulates plants), you’ll be able to grow perennials listed for some of the milder zones. In years when snow comes late or leaves early, protect plants with a 5- or 6-inch layer of organic mulch. Along with hardy evergreen conifers, tough deciduous trees and shrubs form the garden’s backbone. Gardeners can plant warm-season vegetables as long as they are short-season varieties. To further assure success, grow vegetables from seedlings you start yourself or buy from a nursery or garden center. Winter lows average in the 0 to 11°F (–18 to –12°C) range; extremes range from –25 to –50°F (–32 to –46°C). The growing season is 50 to 100 days."

Winter (January - March)Vancouver can see its share of cooler weather as well as milder weather. It is a very cyclical pattern here in Vancouver, where you can generally not tell the forecast trends until they happen. For the warmer winters, Vancouver tends to see quite pleasant temperatures from about 0 °C to 8°C (30° to 46°F). During this time, it is not uncommon for people to be able to cycle, and to enjoy outdoor activities around the city. Sometimes in Feburary, you would think it would be spring or summer with the fact that it is so warm. This comes with the weather pattern called El Niño (warmer ocean current). During the warmer years, Vancouver can get heavy rain, along with sunny periods all in the same day. There are some days, when there are storms brought on by the weather fronts."

[ 1] [2] [3] [4]VFDs are used in applications ranging from small appliances to large compressors. About 25% of the world's electrical energy is consumed by electric motors in industrial applications, which can be more efficient when using VFDs in centrifugal load service; [5] however, VFDs' global market penetration for all applications is relatively small. Over the last four decades, power electronics technology has reduced VFD cost and size and has improved performance through advances in semiconductor switching devices, drive topologies, simulation and control techniques, and control hardware and software.

Goldman on December 13, 2012While second nature to many of us, driving a car is actually a fairly complex process. At its most stripped down version, first you sit in the driver's seat, then you start the engine, then you shift into gear, and then you must simultaneously steer while keeping your foot on the gas pedal. That doesn't include things like adjusting your mirrors, verifying that you won't drive into another person or car, and so on. In one sense, it is incredibly impressive that three dogs in New Zealand have learned - in a fairly rudimentary way - to drive a car. They sit in the driver's seat, shift into gear, operate the steering wheel, and step on the accelerator. Those deserving the true accolades however are not the dogs, but the human trainers for their impressive patience and determination.

"text": "\"What's a Frequency Inverter? Frequency inverter also called frequency converter, it is a power control conversion device to convert normal power supply (50Hz or 60Hz) to another frequency power by inner power semiconductor on/off behaviors, to control electric motors in variable speed operations. Variable frequency control is changing the frequency supply to the motor stator windings to achieve variable speed control purpose. The frequency inverter is mainly consisted of rectifier (AC to DC), filter, inverter (DC to AC), braking unit, drive unit, detection unit and micro processing unit etc. The control circuit controls main circuit, the rectifier circuit converts AC power into DC power, DC intermediate circuit smoothing the rectifier circuit output, then the inverter circuit reverse DC current into AC current again. What's new?60Hz to 50Hz Frequency Converter For some applications need specific Hertz and Volts, you can buy a Go Hz frequency converter for both single phase and three phase with a reasonable price, then you can convert Hertz from 40 Hz to 499.9 Hz, volts from 0-300V single phase and 0-520V three phase, for example: Convert single phase 110V 60Hz to 220V 50Hz; 230V 50Hz to 110V 60Hz; 120V 60Hz to 240V 50Hz; ... ... Convert three phase 480V 60Hz to 400V 50Hz; 380V 50Hz to 460V 60Hz; ... ... Both Hertz and Volts are adjustable in separate with better output pure sine wave. Single phase to three phase converter A single phase to three phase converter is a three phase star connected squirrel cage induction motor. It converts 380V single phase 50Hz (across UV input) to 380V three phase (UVW) with a slight unbalance (5%) in Voltage. It is used extensively on railways 25k V 50Hz electric locomotives for driving 150k VA three phase motor load of auxiliary drives like compressors, blowers, pumps...........more than a dozen. Imagine a three phase motor running from three phase input; then one line gets disconnected."

The diagram in Figure 1 shows an operator station used to manually control a VS drive. The programmable controller implementation of this station will provide automatic motor speed control through an analog interface by varying the analog output voltage ( 0 to 10 VDC) to the drive. The operator station consists of:a speed potentiometer ( speed regulator ),a forward/reverse direction selector,a run/jog switch, andstart and stop push buttons. The PLC program will contain all of these inputs except the potentiometer, which will be replaced by an analog output. The required input field devices ( i.e., start push button, stop push button, jog/run, and forward/ reverse) will be added to the application and connected to input modules, rather than using the operator station’s components. The PLC program will contain the logic to start, stop, and interlock the forward/reverse commands. Figure 1 – Operator station for a variable speed drive Table 1 shows the I/O address assignment table for this example, while Figure 2 illustrates the connection diagram from the PLC to the VS drive’s terminal block (TB-1).

"text": "\"Various electric motors, compared to 9 V battery. An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse of this is the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator, which has much in common with a motor. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between an electric motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors in the transportation industry, electric motors can also be used in reverse as generators to convert mechanical energy into electric power. Found in applications as diverse as industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, and disk drives, electric motors can be powered by direct current (DC) sources, such as from batteries, motor vehicles or rectifiers, or by alternating current (AC) sources, such as from the power grid, inverters or generators. Small motors may be found in electric watches. General-purpose motors with highly standardized dimensions and characteristics provide convenient mechanical power for industrial use. The largest of electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors may be classified by electric power source type, internal construction, application, type of motion output, and so on."

"text": "\"Air Compressor Motor Vin Marshall I recently moved my shop, and in addition to the big issues, from forklift rental to sleep deprivation, we also had to deal with things like three-phase power, a variation of power delivery often used for big equipment. The old shop had it and the new shop doesn't. So what the heck is three-phase power and how can you convert machinery to go from the more common single-phase to three-phase and vice versa? Read on. For us, the impact was limited because only the air compressor had a three-phase motor. Some of the welding equipment had been running on three-phase, but can easily be re-configured to run on either three-phase or single-phase. But first, a short explanation of three-phase power. Alternating current does just as it's name implies and alternates cyclically, first flowing in one direction in a circuit and then reversing to flow in the other. As it does this, the magnitude of the voltage supplied varies continuously between a positive and negative maximum amplitude. In the US and anywhere else with 60Hz power, this cycle happens 60 times per second."

Additional Psychology Flashcards Cards Term Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)Definition The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior. Term Behaviorism Definition The philosophy of a science of behavior: there are various forms of behaviorism Term Determinism Definition The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in a willy-nilly, accidental fashion Term Empiricism Definition The objective observation of the phenomena of interest: objective observations are “independent of the individual prejudices, tastes, and private opinions of the scientist…. Results of empirical methods are objective in that they are open to anyone’s observation and do not depend on the subjective belief of the individual scientist Term Experiment Definition A carefully controlled comparison of some measure of phenomenon of interest (the dependent variable) under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time (the independent variable) differs from one condition to another Term Experimental analysis of Behavior Definition A natural science approach to the study of behavior as a subject matter in its own right founded by B. F. Skinner; methodological features include rate of response as a basic dependent variable, repeated or continuous measurement of clearly defined response classes, within-subject experimental comparisons instead of group design, visual analysis of graphed data instead of statistical inference and an emphasis on describing functional relations between behavior and controlling variables in the environment over formal theory testing. Term Explanatory fiction Definition A fictitious or hypothetical variable that often takes the form of another name for the observed phenomenon it claims to explain and contributes nothing to a functional account or understanding of the phenomenon, such as “intelligence” or “cognitive awareness” as explanations for why an organism pushes the lever when the light is on and food is available but does not push the lever when the light is off and no food is available Term Functional Relation Definition A verbal statement summarizing the results of an experiment ( or group related experiments) that describes the occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of one or more specified change in one event (the dependent variable) can be produced by manipulating another event (the independent variable) and that the change in the dependent variable was unlikely the result of other factors (confounding variables); in behavior analysis expressed as b=f (x1), (x2)….where b is the behavior and x1, x2, etc., are environmental variables of which the behavior is a function Term Hypothetical Construct Definition A presumed but unobserved process or entity Term Mentalism Definition An approach to explaining behavior that assumes that a mental, or “inner,” dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior, if not all Term Parsimony Definition The practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually, before considering more complex or abstract explanations Term Philosophic Doubt Definition An attitude that the truthfulness and validity of all scientific theory and knowledge should be continuously questioned. Term Radical Behaviorism Definition A thoroughgoing form of behaviorism that attempts to understand all human behavior, including private events such as thoughts and feelings, in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person (ontogeny) and the species (phylogeny). Term Replication Definition Repeating conditions with in an experiment to determine the reliability of effects and increase internal validity. ("

Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. View Video Transcript What is a VFD? A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor. Other names for a VFD are variable speed drive, adjustable speed drive, adjustable frequency drive, AC drive, microdrive, and inverter. Frequency (or hertz) is directly related to the motor’s speed (RPMs). In other words, the faster the frequency, the faster the RPMs go. If an application does not require an electric motor to run at full speed, the VFD can be used to ramp down the frequency and voltage to meet the requirements of the electric motor’s load."

"text": "\"Chomsky Vs. Skinner : a role for behaviorist ideas in Language Acquisition Chomsky, in a classical paper, discusses Skinner’s book Verbal Behavior and the associated attempts of behaviorists to explain Language Acquisition as just another complex behavior learned entirely through behaviorist mechanisms of classical and operant conditioning. Chomsky himself clarifies the difference between cognitive and behaviorist explanations as follows: It is important to see clearly just what it is in Skinner’s program and claims that makes them appear so bold and remarkable, It is not primarily the fact that he has set functional analysis as his problem, or that he limits himself to study of observables, i.e., input-output relations. What is so surprising is the particular limitations he has imposed on the way in which the observables of behavior are to be studied, and, above all, the particularly simple nature of the function which, he claims, describes the causation of behavior. One would naturally expect that prediction of the behavior of a complex organism (or machine) would require, in addition to information about external stimulation, knowledge of the internal structure of the organism, the ways in which it processes input information and organizes its own behavior. These characteristics of the organism are in general a complicated product of inborn structure, the genetically determined course of maturation, and past experience. …… The differences that arise between those who affirm and those who deny the importance of the specific “contribution of the organism” to learning and performance concern the particular character and complexity of this function, and the kinds of observations and research necessary for arriving at a precise specification of it. If the contribution of the organism is complex, the only hope of predicting behavior even in a gross way will be through a very indirect program of research that begins by studying the detailed character of the behavior itself and the particular capacities of the organism involved. It would be prudent for me to clarify at the outset, that I am a Cognitivist and definitely see the merits of Chomsky’s arguments and the inadequacy of the potentially misguided attempts of Skinner and other behaviorists to apply the behaviorist concepts and results derived from animal studies to the study of semantics or how words get associated with a particular meaning and are used in particular contexts – either due to their prior association with a stimulus (stimulus control…something like classical conditioning in which the word ‘red’ gets associated with the property redness of an object and the internal visual response or qualia of redness that is produced automatically in response to the stimulus redness causes a conditioned association between “red’ and the qualia redness) or because the word or sentence was reinforced variably through various mechanisms like self-reinforcement, reinforcement-by-way-of-praise etc. I definitely do not concur with Skinner’s arguments and definitions, and Chomsky show to some extent an understanding of the behaviorist concepts (especially in section II), but he also at times shows his profound lack of appreciation of finer subtleties of behaviorist concepts."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Line regenerative variable frequency drives, showing capacitors (top cylinders) and inductors attached which filter the regenerated power. Adjustable speed drive (ASD) or variable-speed drive (VSD) describes equipment used to control the speed of machinery. Many industrial processes such as assembly lines must operate at different speeds for different products. Where process conditions demand adjustment of flow from a pump or fan, varying the speed of the drive may save energy compared with other techniques for flow control. Where speeds may be selected from several different pre-set ranges, usually the drive is said to be adjustable speed. If the output speed can be changed without steps over a range, the drive is usually referred to as variable speed. Adjustable and variable speed drives may be purely mechanical (termed variators ), electromechanical, hydraulic, or electronic.

AC motors can be made for \"\"pole changing\"\" operation, reconnecting the stator winding to vary the number of poles so that two, sometimes three, speeds are obtained. For example a machine with 8 physical pairs of poles, could be connected to allow running with either 4 or 8 pole pairs, giving two speeds - at 60 Hz, these would be 1800 RPM and 900 RPM."

Answered Sep 17, 2016 · Author has 67 answers and 199.2k answer views Originally Answered: How does vfd work? Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is used to Control the the motor by varying the fixed frequency, fixed voltage sine wave power (line power) to a variable frequency, variable output voltage. The Speed of the Motor (Ns) is directly proportional to the Frequency (f) , Since the number of poles of motor is fixed. By varying the system frequency can Control the motor speed as you desire. VFD Uses three steps to to control the motor. A full-wave power diode converts three-phase 50 Hz power from a standard 220, 440 or higher utility supply to either fixed or adjustable DC voltage. We can get rid of the AC ripple on the DC bus by adding a capacitor (C).2. Power electronic switches such as IGBT, GTO or SCR switch the DC power from rectifier on and off to produce a current or voltage waveform at the required new frequency.3. Control system is used to control output voltage i.e. voltage vector of inverter being fed to motor and maintain a constant ratio of voltage to frequency (V/Hz)."

Its distribution reliability group is continually looking for insight into what drives these indices, how to improve them and how other utilities compare. Participation in several reliability benchmarking groups has shown consistent results for We Energies: 1 st quartile SAIFI, average SAIDI and 4 th quartile CAIDI. Overall reliability performance in 2001 and 2002 earned We Energies (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U. S.) the PA Consulting Group Reliability One Award for the Midwest. However, We Energies is not satisfied with its CAIDI performance and has established a goal to significantly improve CAIDI while maintaining SAIFI. Some natural questions have arisen: Do any utilities score in the 1 st quartile for all three indices, and what are their characteristics? Is high CAIDI partially due to very low SAIFI? And is it possible to drive down CAIDI without adversely affecting SAIFI? CAIDI is perhaps the least straightforward of the indices. While SAIFI and SAIDI are driven primarily by frequency or time duration respectively, both variables drive CAIDI."

Hi all, I am wondering if possible to add a speed control to a single phase motor, similar to how a VFD is commonly used to control a 3-phase motor. I have a benchtop disc sander and would love the ability to control the speed on the motor. From the basic searching I've done on the internet, I get the impression that single phase motors will need a very different control mechanism than 3-phase motors do, but I can't easily find guidance beyond that. I haven't done this before so definitely trying to do my homework right. -- Andrewrustdreamer liked this post05-01-2015, 03:08 PM #2L Vanice Diamond Join Date Feb 2006Country UNITED STATESState/Province Indiana Posts 11,934Post Thanks / Like Likes (Given) 437Likes (Received) 3128A universal motor, which can run on either 120V single phase AC or DC, can be controlled by what is commonly called a \"\"router speed control,\"\" but is actually an SCR DC speed control, or by a simple rheostat. The SCR controller is a better choice because it maintains constant torque. Simply dropping the voltage with a rheostat will also drop the available torque and power."

Though the variety of electric generators is not as great as the wide variety of electric motors available, they obey similar design rules and most of the operating principles used in the various classes of electric motors are also applicable to electric generators. The vast majority of generators are AC machines (Alternators) with a smaller number of DC generators (Dynamos). Voltage and Frequency Regulation Most generator applications require some way controlling the output voltage and in the case of AC machines a method of controlling the frequency. Voltage and frequency regulation is normally accomplished in very large machines carrying very high currents, by controlling the generator excitation and the speed of the prime mover which drives the generator."

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

Zelman, MPH, RD, LDFrom the Web MD Archives A visit to the health food store can be an overwhelming experience. It's tough to figure out what to choose from among the dizzying assortment of dietary and nutritional supplements on the shelf. From vitamins to minerals to weight loss pills, there are thousands of options to choose from. But do you really need any of them? Do they really work, and if so, which ones are best? Web MD turned to some experts for answers about the multibillion-dollar dietary and nutritional supplement industry. Total sales for the U. S. dietary supplement industry in 2006 are estimated at $22.1 billion, with vitamins accounting for $7.2 billion of that, says Patrick Rea, editor of the market research publication Nutrition Business Journal. Included in this total are not only sales of vitamins, but also those of minerals, herbs/botanicals, sports supplements, meal supplements, and weight loss products.

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Systolic or Diastolic Hypertension? Mechanisms of Hypothyroidism-related Hypertension Expert Commentary Five-year View References Sidebar Abstract and Introduction Abstract Hypothyroidism has been recognized as a cause of secondary hypertension. Previous studies on the prevalence of hypertension in subjects with hypothyroidism have demonstrated elevated blood pressure values. Increased peripheral vascular resistance and low cardiac output has been suggested to be the possible link between hypothyroidism and diastolic hypertension. The hypothyroid population is characterized by significant volume changes, initiating a volume-dependent, low plasma renin activity mechanism of blood pressure elevation. This article summarizes previous studies on the impact of hypothyroidism on blood pressure and early atherosclerotic process. Introduction Hypothyroidism has been recognized as a cause of secondary hypertension. [ 1, 2] The most common type of hypothyroidism is that caused by primary thyroid gland failure."

Cumberland Farms operates roughly 600 retail stores, gas stations, and a support system including petroleum and grocery distribution operations in 11 states, including Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Its original colors were navy blue and orange, but in 2009, they rebranded with a new logo and colors (navy blue and green). [ 1] The new logo change marked the beginning of the transformation of Cumberland Farms stores from older, legacy stores to new AIM stores that now include numerous new fresh food items such as pizza, chicken sandwiches, subs, and a roller grill. The company is owned by the Haseotes family, with Ari Haseotes serving as the CEO, President, and Director, and Stephen Winslow as the chief financial officer and senior vice president of Cumberland Farms Inc. [2] It is one of the largest retail chains to be completely privately owned. [ 3] Cumberland Farms offers a large assortment of food service items, candy, snacks, and chilled drinks, which it calls \"\"The Chill Zone\"\", along with Cumberland Farms branded chips, pastries, candy, and coffee, etc. [ citation needed]History [ edit]Interior of a Cumberland Farms store in Beekman, New York In 1938, Vasilios and Aphrodite Haseotes purchased a single-cow farm in Cumberland, Rhode Island, [4] which eventually grew into the largest [ citation needed] dairy farm in Southern New England. Cumberland Farms opened a dairy store in Bellingham, Massachusetts in 1958 [5] and the first convenience store in the northeastern United States in 1962. [ 6]In the late 1960s the Cumberland Farms had a successful ad campaign that helped expand their franchise, in part due to catchy jingles written by Brad Delp, who later co-founded the rock band Boston with Tom Scholz."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Diabetic nephropathy Two glomeruli in diabetic nephropathy: the acellular light purple areas within the capillary tufts are the destructive mesangial matrix deposits. Specialty Endocrinology Risk factors High blood pressure, Unstable blood glucose [1]Diagnostic method Abnormal levels of urinary albumin [2]Treatment ACE inhibitors [3]Diabetic nephropathy (DN), also known as diabetic kidney disease, [4] is the chronic loss of kidney function occurring in those with diabetes mellitus. Protein loss in the urine due to damage to the glomeruli may become massive, and cause a low serum albumin with resulting generalized body swelling (edema) and result in the nephrotic syndrome. Likewise, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR) may progressively fall from a normal of over 90 ml/min/1.73m 2 to less than 15, at which point the patient is said to have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). [ 5] It usually is slowly progressive over years. [ 6]Pathophysiologic abnormalities in DN begin with long-standing poorly controlled blood glucose levels. This is followed by multiple changes in the filtration units of the kidneys, the nephrons. ( There are normally about 750,000-1.5 million nephrons in each adult kidney). [ 7] Initially, there is constriction of the efferent arterioles and dilation of afferent arterioles, with resulting glomerular capillary hypertension and hyperfiltration; this gradually changes to hypofiltration over time. [ 8] Concurrently, there are changes within the glomerulus itself: these include a thickening of the basement membrane, a widening of the slit membranes of the podocytes, an increase in the number of mesangial cells, and an increase in mesangial matrix."

Share this page : Who is he? Vasilios is a radiant and influential man (master number 11), who possesses an imposing, authoritarian and masculine character although he remains essentially warm, friendly and generous. He tends to takes great care of his appearance which could come across as a sort of vanity, or he may use his verbal talents for the purpose of seduction... Open-minded, communicative and inquisitive, he is interested in everything and loves sharing the knowledge that he acquires with others, which he does more or less cheerfully... He often conceals his extreme sensitivity behind a rather blunt and abrupt manner. He is honest, loyal and anything but lazy while he loathes pretense, flattery and deceit. Vasilios is capable of tremendous generosity and is always ready to help if he can. He seeks power and this endows him with formidable energy, determination and courage although he lacks tolerance for those who are less clever than he is and is even capable of bad faith at times, while he can certainly be quite argumentative. He is prone to experiencing high levels of emotional tension - often to the detriment of his internal equilibrium. Of course, the inherent risks of his master number are all sorts of excess: too much kindness or humility - and their opposites: megalomania, tyranny, abuse of power and Machiavellianism... As a child, he is brave and determined and already knows exactly what he wants."

Smooth and creamy this cheese can't be beat when it comes to its melting ability. I know what you are thinking, why in the world would you want to make Velveeta cheese? I honestly find it a great cheese for certain recipes. Honestly, would Rotel dip be as good without it? I think that answer is resoundingly no. I think it makes a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. You might wonder why I would duplicate something that feels the need to call itself both “cheese” and “food” on the package. I just wanted to see if you could make it at home, and do a better job. So how this basically works is that you grate a couple of types of cheeses together, by using Colby cheese you get a beautiful shade of orange that is familiar."

I’m so excited, I can barely hold onto my whisk. The Mac & Cheesehawk is back!Since I’m guessing you want nothing to do with a green mac and cheese (I won’t subject you to a kale mac and cheese – some things just don’t translate very well and after trying a few versions of mac and cheese with kale in them, I have to say I am not a raving fan), we’re going with a blue mac and cheese in honor of the Seahawks! Actually, now that I think of it, this mac and cheese has both blue (cheese) and green (chives) – perfect!I must come clean here. I tried an initial version of this mac and it was SO incredibly blue-cheese-laden powerful, I couldn’t eat it. Well, more than three bites. I couldn’t eat more than three bites. I send it in to the hubs’ office, and the staff concurred…you’d have to be an absolute stark-raving stinky-blue-cheese nut in order to enjoy this one. BUT, because I know some of you will still want to try it (you crazy kids, you), here’s the recipe. This time around, I toned down the blue and amped up the creamy factor with some lovely Neufchatel cheese."

"text": "Food Showbiz Analysis with QVC Host David Venable January 29, 2015 – 2:14 PM – 0 Comments By Dr. Nancy Berk @nancyberk (Courtesy of QVC)David Venable admits that, when it comes to employment, he’s got “the greatest job in the world.” The host of QVC’s hit show In The Kitchen with David recently joined me for my podcast Whine At 9 to discuss Super Bowl recipes and a career that has allowed him to blend his love of television with his love of cooking and food. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, David Venable worked as a television news anchor and reporter for six years before he landed at the broadcast network and home shopping channel he clearly loves. “ I really came to understand that my love was television and QVC was such a natural fit for me because nothing is scripted at QVC. I left a very scripted world in TV news and came to a very ad lib world at QVC. And that let David be David. And that was what was really so appealing to me. And then, as time went by, my interest in food and in cooking really had a chance to blossom– and really kind of connecting with our viewers, or as I like to call them “our foodies” in a very personal way. ”Venable’s mother played a pivotal role in his food and cooking-related enthusiasm and success. Says the self-proclaimed foodie, “I always like to say that I have a long relationship with food."

Some phones run off Sprint, some Verizon, and a few AT&T. I have an Android through them, running off Verizon. It's a Huawei Ascend y, very small memory and I've seen some negative reviews for it, but it's been fine for me, except somewhat slow internet and poor camera. But there's alot of phone choices, and you might find even more choices by going to straighttalk.com instead of at your local Walmart. Smartphones can't run off the cheapest plan though, it will only run on the $45 plan. If you want the $30 plan with limited minutes, texts, and data, you'll have to go with a regular phone through them.

"title": "https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/Guides/a-guide-to-verizons-edge-early-upgrading-plan\nA guide to Verizon's early upgrading plan",
"text": "\"By Tara Donnelly Whistle Out12 November 2015Verizon Edge was once an equipment payment plan that allowed Big Red customers to spread payments for a new tablet or cellphone over the course of 24 months, with the option to trade in their device early and upgrade to a hotter handset. Sadly, Edge has recently been killed off as Verizon overhauls its pricing and plan structure and ends the traditional two-year contract with a subsidized phone. For now, you have the option of either buying your phone at full price upfront (and signing on for a month-to-month Verizon plan), or paying your device off over 24 equal monthly installments in the next two years. Either choice means you'll pay the same amount for your phone, but you can decide whether to pay it all at once or over 24 months. Unless, of course you want the newest i Phone. The i Phone exception While the Edge we knew and (didn't really) love is gone, Verizon has brought back a variation of early upgrading for the i Phone 6s and 6s Plus. Buy either device in any storage size on the two-year Device Payment Option, and you can upgrade to a brand new phone in as little as six months . The catch? You'll need to pay off a minimum of 50% of your i Phone's full purchase price before you can upgrade. You'll also need to trade in your current i Phone to move up to a new device, so for the 16GB 6s you'll pay at least $325 to temporarily use your i Phone, and then hand it back to Verizon when you want to upgrade."

I want to move my home phone to an Internet service, but I have Verizon DSL and the company won't let me deactivate phone service without unplugging my broadband too. Do I have any recourse? A. This unhappy message came from a reader of my May column about porting landline phone numbers to cheaper Internet-calling services. It's an issue I should have warned about in that column, because there's no fix for it as long as you want to stay on Verizon's digital-subscriber-line broadband. That telecom conglomerate confirmed that it won't let DSL customers trim their service to only broadband and doesn't let new customers sign up for DSL without voice calling. \"\" Verizon hasn't offered standalone High Speed Internet (DSL) service for more than three years,\"\" spokesman Harry Mitchell wrote in an e-mail. \"\" So, if a customer with HSI and voice service wants to disconnect his voice service, we will disconnect the voice service and the HSI service. \"\" Mitchell said that tying the two services together \"\"enables us to continue to provide competitively priced services to our customers. \"\" Verizon does, however, let subscribers of its much faster Fios fiber-optic broadband service get rid of their phone lines or opt out of paying for one upfront."

Almost all of Verizon's newer phones, especially the more expensive cell phones like the i Phone 5 and the i Phone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy are hybrid phones with the CDMA as well as the GSMS bands and will work worldwide. Still, the standard rate for most popular European travel destinations such as Italy, France and almost every other country in the EU starts at $1.29 per minute to make and receive calls and $25 per 100mb to use data. Unless you can live with the idea of putting your phone away and using it strictly for emergencies (and most people underestimate their cell phone usage to begin with), these rates will put many a pocket book to the test. Nowadays, apps such as Google Maps, Yelp, Skype and others, cell phones have become an extremely useful travel tool for overseas travelers. Think about it - using a cell phones's GPS, you will always be able to find your way to the Trevi Fountain and, using Google Translate or similar apps, you will always be able to communicate with the locals.

"text": "With no sign of a Nexus device ever showing up on Verizon’s network again, we’ve heard from a number of you during the whole Nexus 5 lead-up, who claim to be leaving Big Red behind for prepaid pastures. Now that the phone is official, we’ve also heard from a number of you who are looking for advice or at least information on a few of the most popular prepaid networks. Over the last year, I have actually tested out a few of them, so hopefully with this post, I can help shed some light on what could be an intimidating new arena for many of you. What is Prepaid? Before we get into your options, it’s probably best to give you a little explanation of what prepaid is. Think of prepaid as no-contract, mostly no-nonsense wireless service. Each prepaid carrier has its own quirks, but for the most part, you pay on day 1 for a month of service, and then get to decide after that month ends if you want to pay for another month or walk away. There are no contracts in prepaid. You pay up front for whatever amount of service you are looking for. And that’s the beauty, as you aren’t locked in for more than (usually) a month at a time."

"text": "\"How to Sell Your Phone for the Most Moneyby Elizabeth Harper on March 21, 2016in Phones and Mobile, Cell Phones, Tips & How-Tos, Money Savers :: 18 comments With cellular carriers offering attractive upgrade programs that let you get the latest model every year or two, is it still worth taking the time to sell your old smartphone? Surprisingly, it can be. Upgrade programs are basically leasing you a smartphone, and while they're appealing for their low monthly cost, that cost adds up. In fact, over the 12 to 24 months you have the phone, you may not be saving much... or anything at all. If you're not an aggressive upgrader who just has to have the latest model every year, signing up for your carrier's upgrade program probably isn't a good buy. If you're not using an upgrade program, you're either going to be paying for your phone in full up-front or paying it off from your carrier in installments. As installment plans are zero interest, they aren't a bad deal, though they will add to your monthly bill—just read the fine print to be sure you're signing up to buy, rather than lease, your phone. Pick whichever method best fits your budget and when you decide it's time to upgrade you can sell your phone to help pay for the next one. ( Though if you're paying it off in installments, be aware that you'll need to pay it off in full before you can sell. ) Selling your smartphone online is simple, often just requiring you to pick your product, answer a few questions about its condition, and ship it off with a pre-paid label to get your cash."

Bacterial meningitis is a rare but potentially fatal disease. It can be caused by several types of bacteria that first cause an upper respiratory tract infection and then travel through the blood stream to the brain. The disease can also occur when certain bacteria invade the meninges directly. The disease can cause stroke, hearing loss, and permanent brain damage. Pneumococcal meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is the most serious form of bacterial meningitis.

Viral encephalitis is an infection of the brain caused by a virus. In some cases, it can cause back pain. Symptoms include headache, fever, irritability, decreased awareness, possible seizures and even focal brain dysfunction. Aseptic (and often presumed to be viral) meningitis is inflammation of the covering of the brain and spinal cord, called the meninges. This commonly causes fever, headache and stiff neck, and can cause backache. Encephalitis and meningitis can occur together; it's sometimes called meningoencephalitis. When viral infection affects the spinal cord directly, it is referred to as myelitis; and back pain and spinal cord dysfunction commonly result. When encephalitis and myelitis occur together, it is referred to as encephalomyelitis. There are many viruses that can cause meningitis, encephalitis or myelitis."

The type or causative factor, treatment and an early diagnosis of meningitis can dictate the prognosis and answer the question, ‘how long does meningitis last?’The proper medical terminology for meningitis is determined by the cause of it. Meningitis is caused by viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms. This disease can be, but is not always, fatal for both children and adults alike and is, simply put, an infection of the meninges (the system of membranes which envelopes the brain and spinal cord). Meningitis presents itself in several different types. These are: Aseptic; cryptococcal; gram negative; H. influenza; carcinomatous (meningitis due to cancer); meningococcal; staphylococcal; syphilitic; pneumococcal; and tuberculous meningitis. Viral infections that get better without treatment are the most common causes of meningitis. Viral meningitis will last anywhere from 5 to 14 days. Infections with bacteria, fungi, and protozoa are the next most common causes, however, meningitis has resulted from non-infectious causes. The types of bacteria that cause meningitis vary by age groups."

Print Background Aseptic meningitis is an illness characterized by serous inflammation of the linings of the brain (i.e., meninges), usually with an accompanying mononuclear pleocytosis. Clinical manifestations vary, with headache and fever predominating. The illness is usually mild and runs its course without treatment; however, some cases can be severe and life threatening. Aseptic meningitis syndrome is not caused by pyogenic bacteria. Although it is usually caused by certain viruses, it has a number of other etiologies as well, both infectious and noninfectious. Hence, the term aseptic meningitis is no longer synonymous with viral meningitis, although the two are still often used interchangeably. The epidemiologic setting (e.g., time of year, geographic locale, exposure to insects, diseases prevalent in the local community) and accompanying systemic manifestations may be helpful in making a presumptive diagnosis. However, with a few exceptions, the clinical and laboratory findings accompanying acute viral meningitis are insufficiently distinct to allow an etiologic diagnosis, and distinguishing these disorders from a number of nonviral diseases may be difficult. Treatment varies with the cause. No specific pharmacologic treatment is available for most cases of viral meningitis; these patients are managed with supportive therapy, which includes analgesics, antinausea medications, intravenous fluids, and prevention and treatment of complications."

"text": "Meningitis Print Meningitis Overview Meningitis (or spinal meningitis as it commonly known) is an infection in the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid. The meninges are three thin layers of membrane that cover the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid is watery layer of cushion just beneath the meninges that bathes and protects the brain and spinal cord from physical impact. Meningitis is usually caused by either a bacteria or virus. Viral meningitis is generally self-limiting—meaning that it disappears on its own without any treatment. Bacterial meningitis , on the other hand, can be quite severe and can lead to permanent hearing loss, learning disability, or other types of brain damage. There are several different bacterial strains that can cause meningitis, some of which can be readily treated with antibiotics. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) can cause meningitis, but the condition actually is caused by a fungus, and not HIV itself. Most people who are infected with a bacteria or virus that could potentially cause meningitis never actually get sick. For example, according to the Meningitis Research Foundation, for every 1000 people who are infected with a meningitis virus, only one person will actually become ill."

The type of meningitis and its cause can only be determined by conducting laboratory tests. Viral meningitis (also called aseptic meningitis) is the most common type of meningitis and is less severe than bacterial meningitis. In Illinois, an average of 600 cases of aseptic meningitis is reported annually, with most occurring in late summer and early autumn. The majority of cases of aseptic meningitis are due to viruses called enteroviruses that can infect the stomach and small intestine. A small number of cases are caused by different viruses, which can be transmitted by infected mosquitoes; these are called arboviruses. Fatal cases of viral meningitis are rare and complete recovery is the rule. Bacterial meningitis is often more severe than aseptic meningitis, particularly in infants and the elderly."

You may have heard that the disease involves an inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, and you may know that it can be life-threatening. And while meningitis is most often caused by bacteria or a virus, did you know that physical injury, illness, and certain medications can also lead to the condition? There are actually five types of meningitis — bacterial, viral, parasitic, fungal, and non-infectious — each classified by the cause of the disease. Symptoms are similar for each type of meningitis, but there are some differences, says Lorene Cathey, RN, MSN, manager of infection prevention at The University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. The severity and treatment of the disease differs depending on the cause, so identifying which type a person has is important so he can get the right treatment. Here’s what you should know about the different types of meningitis. Bacterial Meningitis Bacterial meningitis is a potentially life-threatening form of the disease that can cause serious complications such as brain damage, hearing loss, and ultimately death if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This form of meningitis usually occurs when bacteria gets into the bloodstream and travels to the brain and spinal cord. Types of bacteria that can cause bacterial meningitis include Haemophilus influenzae (usually type b), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria meningitidis."

Meningitis Acute bacterial meningitis (purulent meningitis)Bacteria reach the subarachnoid space via the bloodstream or, less often, by extension from contiguous structures such as the sinuses or ears. The infection is usually confined to the subarachnoid space, but toxins (from bacteria or leukocytes) can result in edema and also can damage blood vessels, causing additional damage. Patients with bacterial meningitis therefore present with changes in alertness (sensorium) in addition to headache, fever, and meningismus (a stiff neck that is most resistant to flexion.) Intracranial pressure is increased because of cerebral edema and due to interference with the normal circulation and resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by the inflammatory process.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the fluid and membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Every year over 1 million 1-3 people worldwide are affected by meningitis. Infection is by far the most common cause of meningitis and is caused by many different germs: viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Bacterial meningitis Bacterial meningitis is aggressive, develops quickly within a few hours and can lead to permanent disability or death in a matter of hours. It is fatal in up to 10 to 20% of cases and accounts for around 170,000 deaths around the world each year 1. The great majority of these deaths occur within 24-48 hours after the onset of symptoms. Most cases of bacterial meningitis are caused by Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus ) , Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus ) and Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib) . There are different types of all three bacteria called serogroups or serotypes.

Meningitis Meningitis literally means the inflammation of the meninges, which are membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. When the meninges become inflamed, they swell up and take up more space in the central nervous system, which causes head pressure. There are two types of meningitis: bacterial and viral. Bacterial meningitis is rare, but life-threatening. Viral meningitis is the more common form."

"text": "What causes viral meningitis? Many different viruses can cause meningitis. Most people are exposed to some of them during their life without developing meningitis. The most common causes are: Enteroviruses Coxsackie or Echovirus groups of enteroviruses are the most common cause of viral meningitis. Most infections produce no symptoms, or mild symptoms such as sore throats, colds and flu-like illnesses. Some of them may also cause stomach upsets and diarrhoea. Enteroviruses mostly affect children, who are the main transmitters of these viruses. Enteroviral infections are prevalent in the UK during summer and autumn months. Spread is mainly by hand to mouth transmission. Herpes viruses Herpes viruses are the other common cause of viral meningitis in adolescents and adults in developed countries [2]. Herpes viruses include the herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) and varicella zoster virus – the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles."

"text": "\"Introduction to the Viruses In 1898, Friedrich Loeffler and Paul Frosch found evidence that the cause of foot-and-mouth disease in livestock was an infectious particle smaller than any bacteria. This was the first clue to the nature of viruses, genetic entities that lie somewhere in the grey area between living and non-living states. Viruses depend on the host cells that they infect to reproduce. When found outside of host cells, viruses exist as a protein coat or capsid, sometimes enclosed within a membrane. The capsid encloses either DNA or RNA which codes for the virus elements. While in this form outside the cell, the virus is metabollically inert; examples of such forms are pictured below. Viral micrographs : To the left is an electron micrograph of a cluster of influenza viruses, each about 100 nanometers (billionths of a meter) long; both membrane and protein coat are visible. On the right is a micrograph of the virus that causes tobacco mosaic disease in tobacco plants. When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products."

These viruses, also known as small round structured viruses or caliciviruses, are an important cause of gastrointestinal illness throughout the United States, including Illinois. Members of this category of viruses, subsequently referred to as Norwalk-like viruses, are typically named for the location in which they were first identified, for example, Hawaii, Snow Mountain, Montgomery County and Oklahoma. The Norwalk virus is the prototype for this group of viruses – there are at least 11 other related viruses – hence the name “Norwalk-like virus. ”What are the symptoms of Norwalk-like viruses? The signs and symptoms of Norwalk-like viruses are similar and usually occur between 24 hours and 48 hours after exposure. They include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle aches, headache, tiredness and low-grade fever. Symptoms typically last 24 hours to 48 hours and subside on their own.

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

Let us take a look at the structure of a virus to know our enemy better!We all know how some dreadful infections and ailments are caused by viruses. But, what exactly is a virus? Is it a life form at all or is it just an organic structure that interacts with living cells? Whether a virus is a proper life form or organism is a topic of much debate. There are several reasons behind such contradictory opinions. Although viruses have genes and undergo evolution by natural selection, they do not reproduce by cell division as they do not possess a cellular structure. Rather, they reproduce by replicating via media of self assembly. Also, viruses do not have the ability to metabolize and they must rely upon some host organism to fulfill their metabolism needs and produce energy and enzymes to nourish them. Due to these very reasons, microbiologists prefer to categorize viruses as \"\"organisms at the edge of life\"\" rather than categorizing them under air-tight compartments of organism and non organism."

Retrovirus I Introduction Gene therapy may one day be used to treat, cure, or prevent a variety of genetic disorders. In gene therapy, a type of virus known as a retrovirus is used to replace a defective gene in cells with a new, healthy gene. Scientists insert the healthy gene into the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the retroviruses. These retroviruses are mixed with cells taken from a patient and cultured in a laboratory. The retroviruses insert the healthy gene in to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the cells. The cells with the new, healthy gene are then injected back into the patient. Retrovirus, any virus belonging to the family Retroviridae, whose members share a unique method of replicating (copying) themselves when they infect living cells. Retroviruses store their genetic information in molecules of ribonucleic acid (RNA). However, unlike other RNA viruses, retroviruses use RNA as a template (master pattern) for forming deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material that puts viral replication instructions into effect."

Ebola Virus Disease Ebola viruses cause a severe and often deadly illness known as Ebola virus disease (EVD; previously referred to as Ebola hemorrhagic fever). Fatality rates during EVD outbreaks can be as high as 90 percent. Ebola viruses produce hemorrhagic fever, a condition that also can be brought about by other types of viruses but Ebola produces one of the most lethal forms. In addition to the other symptoms of hemorrhagic fever – fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness, vomiting, and diarrhea – the more severe cases can include damage to blood vessels and extensive internal and external bleeding (hemorrhage). Mortality rates for EVD range from 25 percent to 90 percent, with an average of 50 percent. Death usually occurs as a result of shock due to fluid loss rather than blood loss. There are no approved drugs or vaccines available to treat EVD. Recovery seems to depend in part on how much virus a person was initially exposed to, how early treatment is started, and on the patient's age and immune response. Chances of survival can be improved with early supportive care including maintaining body fluids and electrolytes and monitoring blood pressure, which may allow enough time for the body's immune system to fight off the virus."

By Elizabeth Palermo, Staff Writer | October 9, 2014 10:11am ETMOREThe Ebola virus Credit: CDC/ Frederick Murphy Ebola's most notorious symptom may be hemorrhagic fever, but the virus is actually one of many that can cause the hallmark bleeding from the nose, mouth, ears and other places. Collectively known as viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), these illnesses typically cause fever as well as extreme dysfunction in the body's network of blood vessels, which can result in profuse bleeding. The hemorrhaging associated with VHFs can arise from a number of different factors depending on which virus a person is infected with, said Alan Schmaljohn, a virologist and professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In the case of people with Ebola, hemorrhaging occurs when the virus infects the liver, affecting the body's ability to make blood-clotting proteins and causing blood vessels to leak. But other viruses may cause hemorrhaging by depleting the body's supply of platelets, which stop bleeding, Schmaljohn told Live Science. [ 5 Things You Should Know About Ebola]Ebola is one of several members of the Filovirus family of viruses that can cause hemorrhagic fevers, and there are at least three other families of viruses that also cause hemorrhagic fevers, including Bunyaviruses, Flavaviruses and Arenaviruses, Schmaljohn said. For the most part, there are no treatments available for people with any type of viral hemorrhagic fever, although one acute viral disease, yellow fever, can be prevented with a vaccine. What these viruses have in common All of the virus families that can cause hemorrhagic fevershare certain characteristics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They all have a basic structure that consists of a core of ribonucleic acid (RNA) as the genetic material, surrounded by a fatty material."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary biology and virology that is specifically concerned with the evolution of viruses. [ 1] [2] Viruses have short generation times and many, in particular RNA viruses, have relatively high mutation rates (on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication). This elevated mutation rate, when combined with natural selection, allows viruses to quickly adapt to changes in their host environment. In addition, most viruses provide many offspring, so any mutated genes can be passed on to a large number of offspring in a short time. Although the chance of mutations and evolution can change depending on the type of virus (double stranded DNA, double stranded RNA, single strand DNA, etc. ), viruses overall have high chances for mutations. Viral evolution is an important aspect of the epidemiology of viral diseases such as influenza ( influenza virus ), AIDS ( HIV ), and hepatitis (e.g. HCV ). The rapidity of viral mutation also causes problems in the development of successful vaccines and antiviral drugs, as resistant mutations often appear within weeks or months after the beginning of a treatment. One of the main theoretical models applied to viral evolution is the quasispecies model, which defines a viral quasispecies as a group of closely related viral strains competing within an environment.

Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own. At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids. They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria). A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage. The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists. It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms. Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life. They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms. A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms."

The most common skin disorders that a vitamin D allergy can cause include hives and eczema, according to Drugs.com. Both allergic skin conditions are extremely itchy and cause inflammation and irritation in the skin. Hives may indicate a severe allergic reaction and needs to be evaluated by a physician. You should only use vitamin D supplements under the direction of a medical doctor. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Vitamin DA vitamin D allergy is considered uncommon. The supplement is commonly used to treat calcium-deficient conditions and is not intended for use in healthy people. The vitamin is found in fish, margarine, oysters, cheese, cream, butter, fortified milk and fortified cereals. If you take too many vitamin D supplements your intestines will absorb too much calcium and this can lead to deposits in the heart and lungs. Allergic Reactions An allergic reaction to vitamin D causes the immune system to develop a defense against the supplement because of a hypersensitivity to the vitamin."

"text": "Allergic Reaction, Swollen Lipsby TOYIN FAPOHUNDA-ADEKOLA, MD Aug. 14, 2017With food and drug allergy rates increasing, it is important to recognize common signs of an allergic reaction. Lip swelling is one manifestation of an allergic reaction, which may be accompanied by swelling of the mouth, tongue and/or throat. Known as allergic angioedema, this reaction occurs due to histamine release in response to an allergic trigger. This leads to fluid leakage into the deep skin layers, which causes swelling. Although angioedema of the lips, face, mouth and throat can occur from nonallergic causes, when the swelling is part of an allergic reaction, it can quickly progress to a life-threatening situation. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Symptoms Allergy-related lip swelling -- with or without swelling of other parts of the face or mouth structures -- typically begins within a few minutes to an hour after exposure to an allergic trigger. The swelling is generally firm and the involved skin is not itchy, but there may be tingling or pain. The swelling is often not uniform, meaning one side is often more affected than the other. In addition to the lips and mouth, the area around the eye is commonly affected with this type of allergic reaction. Hives on other parts of the body often accompany allergic angioedema and are characteristically itchy."

Fatigue and fever are not a direct result of the food allergy but are rather the symptoms of another condition caused by the food allergy. For example, sinus headaches are a common result of an allergic reaction to food that can cause fatigue from sinus pressure. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor to ensure the symptoms are the result of a food allergy and not another condition. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Food Allergies A food allergy occurs when your immune system reacts in an exaggerated manner to the proteins found in specific foods. Pub Med Health explains that a food allergy causes your immune system to defend the body by producing immunoglobulin E -- or lg E -- antibodies. These antibodies are triggered as a mistake and cause a chain reaction in the body that leads to common allergy symptoms. Common symptoms of a food allergy include shortness of breath, hives, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and nasal congestion. The most common foods that cause an allergic reaction include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, soy and wheat.

Biotin plays an important role in the cell metabolism by metabolizing amino acids and carbohydrates, and aids in converting the nutrients you eat into energy.

Vitamin B is used to help maintain proper cell metabolism. It is a water soluble vitamin that the body breaks down through digestion to promote proper bodily function. Originally scientists believed that there was only one B vitamin, but research has shown that there are 8 vitamins in the B vitamin complex: B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pantothenic Acid), B7 (Biotin), B9 (Folic Acid), and B12 (Cyanocobalamin). Each of these vitamins plays a distinct role in maintaining the human body. So many take vitamin B complex supplements to enhance these natural effects. However, vitamin B complex side effects should also be noted. Side Effects of Vitamin B Complex Side effects of taking a B vitamin complex are not common, especially if the patient takes the medication as prescribed amount.

"text": "\"In This Entry Introduction of Tobacco to Virginia Creation of the Tobacco Industry in Virginia Types of Tobacco Cultivation and Labor Production and Prices Time Line Share It Introduction of Tobacco to Virginia Tobacco Pipe In 1611 Rolfe, known as \"\"an ardent smoker,\"\" decided to experiment with cultivating tobacco in Jamestown. The plant had first been brought to England in 1565, perhaps from Florida by Sir John Hawkins, and by the 1610s there was a ready market in Britain for tobacco—especially Spanish tobacco from the West Indies. Rolfe obtained from a shipmaster some seeds from Trinidad and Caracas, Venezuela, and by July 1612 was growing Spanish tobacco, or Nicotiana tabacum —presumably at Jamestown, although the exact site of Rolfe's crop is unknown. The Virginia Indians also grew and smoked tobacco, so Rolfe could have bought seeds from them, but the native Nicotiana rustica, described by William Strachey as being \"\"poore and weake, and of a byting tast,\"\" did not appeal to English smokers. Moreover, relations between the Indians and the English were unstable at best. Captain Robert Adams of the Elizabeth delivered samples of Rolfe's tobacco to England on July 20, 1613. Although Rolfe's early tobacco was considered by the English to be \"\"excellent in quality,\"\" it still was not comparable to the Spanish product. Nevertheless, Rolfe believed that \"\"no doubt but after a little more tryall and expense in the curing thereof, it will compare with the best in the West Indies.\"\" He was proved correct in 1617, when 20,000 pounds of Virginia tobacco were shipped to England, and in 1618, when that amount doubled. Tobacco Tamper Rolfe's successful tobacco experiments inspired others to begin planting available land in Jamestown and in the settlements along the James River."

It was important to have people there to make sure the logs did not jam up as the river turned north-west toward Grand Haven. Incorporation [ edit]Grandville was incorporated into a city in 1933. Infrastructure and utilities were soon developed including new sewage disposal. [ 7]By the 1980s due to the growth of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area following the early 1980s recession in the United States, Grandville began to experience even more growth.

"text": "MOBILE HOME DEMOLITIONDo you have an old mobile home on your property you would like demolished? In some cases it is best to demolish the mobile home rather than try and move it which can be expensive and dangerous especially if the mobile home is over 20 years old and more prone to fall apart during transport. Most mobile homes have almost 2 tons of metal that can be recycled not to mention lumber,plastics,insulation,etc. that can be sorted and recycled at a construction and demolition debris recycling facility. The costs to demolish a mobile home can vary dramatically and are based on its size, its condition, its age, the materials it consists of, ease of access to the actual mobile home, its proximity to local recycling or transfer stations, and any hazardous materials issues it may have. * We provide services in Western Washington State only, specifically King & South Snohomish Counties*You must be the registered owner of the mobile home, ownership will be verified. * We do not move or transport mobile homes to a new location nor do we sell mobile home parts, frames, etc. Please do not call for a demolition quote, we no longer provide demolition quotes over the phone..you will be asked to visit our website and fill out the below mobile home demolition form.

The location of the trail today is within the boundaries of neighboring Summit County. [ 5] [6]After the discovery of the New World, the land that became Portage County was originally part of the French colony of Canada (New France), which was ceded in 1763 to Great Britain and renamed the Province of Quebec. In the late 18th century the land became part of the Connecticut Western Reserve in the Northwest Territory, then was purchased by the Connecticut Land Company in 1795. The first European settler in what is now Portage County was Abraham Honey in 1798 in the area now known as Mantua Township, followed by Asa Hall in what is now Atwater Township in April 1799."

"text": "Welcome to Kent The Town of Kent is a beautiful area in Putnam County with woods, ponds, lakes, mountains and wildlife. Kent was first settled by Native Americans approximately 12,000 years ago. It was the home of the Nochpeem tribe, part of the Wappinger Confederacy, of the Algonquin Nation. European settlement began in the 1600s. In 1687 two Dutch fur traders, Jan Roelof Sybrandt and Lambert Dorlandt, purchased the western one-third of what would become Putnam County which included Kent. They sold this land to Adolph Philipse, who was granted a royal patent on June 7, 1687 for land that reached from the Hudson River to the Connecticut border. As European settlement increased, the local Wappingers fought to retain their land. Their last sachem, Chief Daniel Nimham sued the Philipse family for return of the land. He traveled to London to present his case, unsuccessfully, to the King. The Wappingers under Nimham joined the Patriot cause in the Revolution."

"text": "Related Articles When to Mow Your Lawn After You Plant Sod Signs of Over Watering New Sod My Laid Sod Is Turning Brown When to Cut Newly Sodded St. Augustine Grass Your lush sod that was so meticulously laid down seems like it would be ready for cutting almost instantly, but you need to refrain from any traffic on the grass just yet. Body weight and heavy lawnmowers may damage the sensitive blades if you do not allow their roots to establish themselves in the ground. Determining the best cutting time depends on grass height and an adequate resting period for the new sod. Grass Height Your first sod mowing should be after the grass has grown to 3 or 4 inches tall. This height signifies that the roots are well-established enough for vigorous blade growth. However, you must stop any irrigation of the new sod for approximately 48 hours before your start your mowing process, as the lawn needs to be dry for proper grass blade shearing. In general, mow the lawn in one direction and then continue cutting in the opposite direction to gradually bring the grass height down to a more manageable 2 1/2 inches tall. Time Period If your sod was laid on a fertile, friable soil environment, this healthy growing space should allow your roots to grow deeply within 2 to 4 weeks. After 4 weeks pass, the sod has enough strength to withstand a lawnmower's weight and your family's foot traffic. Cutting the tender blades earlier than 4 weeks causes significant grass damage."

"text": "\"by Dr. Hank Wilkinson Having been professionally involved with turfgrass and sod for more years than I'd care to count, I'm still amazed at how something as simple as sodding a new lawn can get so botched. Both professional landscapers and everyday homeowners can create a nightmare rather than a lawn, but most often it's the homeowner who fails to grasp some basic fundamentals. Relatively simple steps can make the difference between a healthy, practical lawn that's easy to care for and a total mess that will cause maintenance problems for years to come. It's such a shame, because sod should practically ensure a total success each and every time. Here are my top 10 ways to ruin a sodded lawn installation. Avoid these, and you will avoid having a disappointing lawn project!#1 DON'T BE READY TO RECEIVE THE SOD DELIVERYTo guarantee that you get the freshest sod possible, it's usually cut-to-order late in the afternoon prior to delivery or very early that same morning. In addition to the turf and soil that you can see, every piece of sod also contains millions of microorganisms. These critters respire, and thereby generate heat and carbon dioxide. But when sod is harvested and stacked on a pallet, the heat cannot escape. Within 24 to 48 hours sod can reach a temperature of over 130° F, which can be fatal to the grass plants."

How to Till a Lawn Before Sodding Preparing the Ground Before Sod Placement The Temperature for Laying St. Augustine Sod Sod, which is mature lawn that has been professionally grown and cultivated and cut into thick rolls with underlying soil and roots, can become an instant new lawn. Sod can take as many as two years to mature, but even though the plants in a roll are established and mature when compared with their seeded counterparts, care must be taken at the time of planting to ensure plant survival. Site Preparation Homeowners can’t place sod atop any kind of soil and expect it to grow. The ground where the rolls will be place should be prepared before laying sod rolls. Remove all rocks and debris from the area, along with noxious weeds. Aerate the soil to ensure it is not compacted.

"text": "Written by Amy Rodriguez; Updated February 24, 2018Related Articles When Do You Mow Newly Seeded Grass? How to Feed New Grass When to Mow Your Lawn After You Plant Sod How Long After I've Planted Grass Seed Can I Apply Weed Killer? Your new turf installation may appear sparse initially, especially if you grow from seeds or sprigs, but a properly prepared soil site quickly becomes a wild tangle of grass blades after just several weeks. You must avoid the temptation to cut the grass, however, until it is well-established within the soil. Trimming the grass too soon often damages seedlings and causes widespread dieback. Seeded Lawns Seeded lawns require the longest time period between planting your grass and mowing. Because you must wait for seeds to germinate, you cannot cut the grass until two months have passed. If you planted your seeds during their active growing season, the blades should reach a 3 to 3.5 inch height after eight weeks. Even in your first mowing session, however, you must tread carefully on the turf - do not maneuver the mower through quick turns or you may pull seedlings from the topsoil. A slow and deliberate mowing in two separate directions trims your grass nicely and protects its root establishment."

"text": "\"418-007S. Ray Smith, Extension Specialist, Forages; Harlan E. White, Retired Extension Specialist, Forages; E. Scott Hagood, Extension Weed Scientist; Dale D. Wolf, Retired Professor, Forages and Jon P. Repair, Extension Agent, Rockbridge County; Virginia Tech No-till seeding of forage grasses and legumes can be successful and has become an accepted practice for a number of reasons. One of the primary concerns in establishing new forage stands in a well-tilled seedbed is the threat of soil erosion during the establishment period. Not only is valuable topsoil lost, but resulting ruts and gullies damage equipment and are dangerous to equipment operators. In addition to reducing soil erosion, no-till seedings conserve moisture already present in the seedbed. Moisture conservation, along with a dramatic reduction in water run-off, improves the water supply for the new seedlings. No-till seeding methods also require less time and fuel than traditional methods because rocks remain below the soil surface. No-till seeding has a definite place in improving forage quality of existing pastures and hay fields. No-till seeding practices can also be used to completely reseed forage stands that have become unproductive. Forage stands can be improved using no-till methods to add legumes to pure grass stands and to strengthen weak grass stands through the introduction of both legumes and/or grasses. The concept of no-till seeding has further potential in forage production when rotating crop fields to pasture or hay production and when changing the type of forage stand to summer or winter annuals in the crop rotation scheme."

That mowing height be adjusted to both grass requirements and playing demands.

It is better to control diseases by proper maintenance than by using fungicides. There are three common diseases of zoysiagrass lawns: BROWN PATCH is most prevalent on zoysiagrass which has been heavily fertilized when night temperatures are above 68 degrees and day temperatures are above 80 degrees. Dead patches of grass may start small but can grow and join together to make patches more than 3 feet apart. Sometimes, there will be a ring of brown, dead grass surrounding a patch of green grass. To control brown patch, fertilize zoysia moderately in summer and if you irrigate, do it in very early morning. There are lawn fungicides available to control brown patch.

While a lot of folks are inclined to lay weed barrier directly over existing flower beds, lawns, or barely prepared areas, the best performance and longest lasting results are more probable with good preparation. To Start Measure and mark the areas where beds, borders, edging, etc. will be. Basically mark out your plan so you can get accurate measurements. Most professionals use upside down marking paint but you can also use string, sticks, rocks, hose, or whatever you have available. When measuring, keep in mind that you need to overlap seams where two pieces of material meet. So allow a little extra for overlap and mistakes. Buy or order your landscape fabric to make sure it’s on hand when you start your project. Remove all vegetation Once your areas are measured and marked, remove all vegetation."

Here are four techniques for turning well-established turf into a bed ready for planting. Each method has its pros and cons, but all will get you one step closer to the bed you’ve been dreaming of.1. Dig Digging up grass may reveal harmful insects, such as Japanese beetle grubs, which you’ll want to remove. This method produces quick, clean results and allows you to plant your garden immediately. But using a spade or fork to remove sod can result in a lot of sweat and sore muscles. If the sod is in good condition, you can use it elsewhere in your yard. Water the area a few days ahead of time to make the soil easier to work. The soil should be moist but not soggy."

ENERGY USE OF PEAT9.1 Introduction9.2 Peat as an Energy Source9.3 Resource Estimation9.4 Peat Production9.5 Peat Extraction and Land Use Planning9.1 Introduction Peat has been used as a form of energy for at least 2 000 years. It was useful as an alternative to firewood for cooking and heating in temperate and boreal regions of Europe, in particular Ireland, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Finland and the USSR. The increasing use of gas and oil as cooking and heating fuels during the 20th century resulted in a diminishing use of peat for such domestic purposes. The high demand for electricity, however, locally stimulated the development of large electric power plants fuelled by peat. Peat appeared especially competitive in the 60-200 MW power plants which necessitated the reclamation of vast areas of peat for large scale peat extraction, particularly in Ireland, Finland and the USSR. Specialized technology was developed for these reclamation efforts. Recently, peat has been used for electricity generation in small units in the range of 20-1 000 k W. As well as these energy uses, peat is mixed with mineral soil in horticulture to increase the moisture holding capacity of sands, to increase the water infiltration rate of clayey soils, and to acidify soils for specific pot plants. Industrial uses include the extraction of valuable hydro-carbons (Table 31), and in the building industry it can be used as an insulator because of its poor heat conducting properties. Such uses are however relatively minor in relation to the large scale extraction for energy purposes on which this chapter concentrates."

Many lawns are lost at the initial watering stage. Whether you have planted seed or laid sod, lawn irrigation must be done properly for best results. Watering a New Lawn from Seed For the seeds to germinate, the soil needs to be consistently moist and soil temperatures must be in the right range. Germination times vary with different species, but most lawn seed will germinate within 5 to 21 days. When watering a new lawn, the best way of keeping the seed moist is by lightly sprinkling the seeded area of the lawn at least two to three times a day. Care must be taken to ensure the soil doesn't dry out. The seeds could perish if they are allowed to dry once the germination process has begun. Your lawn may require more frequent watering depending on the soil type, weather, temperature, or wind."

Pruning early in the season before they have a chance to bloom gives you shorter plants that bloom a little later in the spring. Because coneflowers have long stems, an early prune ensures they fit into your borders and beds without blocking the flowers behind them. Cut coneflower stems down to 6 inches in height once the first flower buds begin forming in spring. This is only necessary if you prefer shorter flowers for your beds."

"text": "\"List of Supernatural characters From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Mary Winchester (Supernatural))navigation search Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester (left) and Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester (right)Supernatural is an American television drama series created by writer and producer Eric Kripke, and was initially broadcast by The WB. After its first season, The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, which is the current broadcaster for the show in the United States. The show features two main characters, Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, brothers who travel across the country in a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala to hunt demons, supernatural creatures, and other paranormal entities, many of them based on folklore, myths, and American urban legends. In addition, Supernatural chronicles the relationship between the brothers and their father, John Winchester, as they seek to avenge and understand the murder of their mother at the hands of the demon Azazel. Supernatural has featured many other recurring guests that take part in story arcs that span a portion of a season. Occasionally, the recurring guest storylines will span multiple seasons. After the death of their father in the second season, the hunter Bobby Singer becomes a father figure to Sam and Dean. As the series progresses, recurring guests appear at various times to help move the overall storyline of the show such as the demon Ruby or the angel Castiel. The series also features recurring appearances from other demons, angels, and hunters.

"text": "\"Spanner Jaw Sizes This page has a useful chart for comparing spanner sizes (a wrench in the USA) and common nut/bolt use. Although it is believed to be correct, use the suggestions and data provided on this web page at your own risk! Please read the disclaimer first. From here you can just jump directly to the Jaw Size Table but I think you should read the whole page at least once for advice (or twice if you are a judge for the \"\"most boring web page\"\" competition). Here is the table of contents: Background Using The Table Selecting Spanners Safe and Correct Use The Jaw Size Table References Acknowledgements Disclaimer Home to PSC's Page Background For the 'British' sizes, the nut/bolt size corresponds to the spanner marking (i.e. a 1/2\"\" W spanner fits a Whitworth bolt with a shank/thread diameter of 1/2\"\"). The original Whitworth sizes were standardised in 1841 by Sir Joseph Whitworth (1803-87) and featured a significant head oversize to accommodate the crude tolerances of the production methods of the day. In 1908 the standard was revised to include the option for a finer thread and became BSF (British Standard Fine) and BSW (British Standard Whitworth). During the Second World War the standards were revised again as \"\"War Emergency B. S. 916 : 1940\"\" as an austerity measure to reduce steel consumption and this resulted in the head sizes being reduced by one step (so the head size for the older Whitworth 1/4\"\" bolt was used for the revised BSW/BSF 5/16\"\" bolt, etc, avoiding the need for new tools), also bringing them closer to the size range commonly used today: Across flats jaw size = bolt diameter * 1.5 (approximately, only the BA standard has a simple fixed relationship factor at 1.75)Thus all but the oldest (pre-WW2) 'Whitworth' nuts/bolts are likely to use the BSF/BSW head size (sometime just marked as 'BS'). As a result, you will sometimes see spanners marked along the lines of '1/4 W 5/16 BS' indicating the jaws are sized for a 1/4\"\" Whitworth bolt, or the next step up at 5/16\"\" for BSF/BSW. The BSW bolts/nuts use the same coarse thread as the original Whitworth, which is suited to soft or coarsely crystalline materials (e.g. aluminium, cast iron), while the BSF bolts have the same thread profile but a finer cut (i.e. higher TPI value) and, with an adequate length of thread engagement, provide a stronger fastener and better vibration resistance for high tensile materials."

"text": "\"Long Distance Home Runsby William J. Jenkinson 1996This article appeared in The Home Run Encyclopedia and is sole property of the author. If you enjoy the article, and other information about home runs please consider buying the book which was written & researched by SABR. As long as baseball has been played, observers and participants alike have been fascinated with those rare individuals who have been capable of batting balls farther than others of their time. As long ago as opening day 1883, there is information describing the excitement generated by Hall of Famer Roger Connor, who struck an unusually long home run at the original Polo Grounds in New York. This feat was accomplished at a time before home runs were hit with enough frequency to be considered a regular part of the game. This is dramatized by the fact that Connor's blow was the only home run he would hit that season. And yet, everyone in attendance was apparently moved to awe and admiration by this single event, which resulted in the scoring of the lone run. By looking back, we can confirm the preoccupation with long-distance hitting in the early stages of baseball history. It is even easier to consider modern history to help us understand that nothing has changed in the intervening years in our fascination with long home runs. The vast popularity of major league baseball's home run hitting contest before the annual All-Star Game is ample evidence that we remain enamored of the players blessed with unique levels of power."

As a boy, despite his difficult upbringing, he is naive, innocent, and well-meaning. The adult David narrates his childhood experiences from the point of view of the innocent child rather than the more knowing adult. This means that the reader can often see characters' true motives and intentions when David cannot. For example, he admires and loves Steerforth from the time when he first meets him, and believes that Steerforth has his best interests at heart, whereas the reader can clearly see that Steerforth is a self-centered person who exploits David and belittles him. By the end of the novel, when David is an adult, he can see Steerforth's selfishness and frivolity, though he still loves him and thinks of him at his best. This shows that David has grown in understanding, but retained his fundamental innocence. Though David has a warm heart, he has weaknesses. Chief of these is his emotional immaturity or \"\"undisciplined heart\"\" (to quote Annie Strong's words in Chapter XLV), which leads him to fall in love with and marry Dora, who is childish, frivolous, and unsuited to him. In doing so, he throws away the calmer love of Agnes, who is a perfect match for him, consigning her to the role of beloved sister."

Origin Batgirl Year One While attending a costume party dressed as a female counterpart of Batman, Barbara Gordon witnesses the kidnapping of billionaire Bruce Wayne by super-villain Killer Moth. She prevents this and without realizing it, draws the attention of the Dark Knight. This event begins Barbara's path in crime fighting. In the New 52, Barbara, alongside with her brother, was visiting her father in the Police Station of Gotham City, under the excuse of needing it as part of a college project. Her real motivation, though, was taking a closer look on what the officers thought and knew about Batman, the mysterious vigilant who was similar to her in many aspects, including her smartness. She is escorted by officer Dwight Morgan, who is slightly attracted by the young lady. In the middle of the visit, though, a criminal who had just been arrested, Harry X, managed to start chaos in the Station, with the help of his allies."

However, the Dark Knight does care for his lost progeny. [ 6] After the events of Batman R. I.

By Skip Hollandsworth Issue August 1998Share Copy URLNotes0 Comments Move ’em out: Despite 60,000 head of cattle, the corporation’s profits these days depend on ventures far removed from ranching. Photograph by David Stoeklein It was already sweltering in early May on the King Ranch, the South Texas humidity so fierce that by midmorning your shirt was pasted to your back. There was talk of a long, dry summer to come, but for the moment, the managers of the ranch’s cattle division could not contain their euphoria. The roundup for the fall calf crop was just beginning; more than nine thousand calves had to be weaned in a mere three weeks, and they were the heaviest on record, many weighing seven hundred pounds. A sense of urgency filled the air. There was a chance, a good chance if they got some rain, that the cattle division would have one of its most profitable years in a decade. Maybe that was the reason, some of the cattle managers guessed, that their boss, Stephen J. “Tio” Kleberg, had called a Friday-morning staff meeting at the ranch headquarters, just outside Kingsville. Tio knew how to give his troops one hell of an inspirational speech about the King Ranch."

"text": "Where Do Alligators Live? Who What Where How American alligators are most commonly found in the southeastern United States, such as Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas. Florida and Louisiana have the largest populations of alligators in America, with each inhabited by around 1.5 million alligators. The only other species of alligator, the Alligator sinensis, is found in China and is a much smaller version of the American alligator. The United States is the only country in the world where alligators and crocodiles live side by side. What Is Their Habitat in the Wild Like? Because they have a low tolerance for salt, the majority of alligators inhabit freshwater. They can only handle being exposed to salt water for a small length of time, but will sometimes live in brackish water. These reptiles favor calmer waters and primarily occupy swamps and marshes. They can also be found in rivers, lakes, and other small bodies of water."

The largest — and toothiest — of these are the alligators of not one, but two, presidents. Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette received many gifts and honors during his tour of the 24 states in 1824 and 1825, but probably none more unusual than an alligator. Accompanied, by his son, Georges Washington de La Fayette, the French general, who had championed the American ideals of freedom in France, traveled more than 6,000 miles via stagecoach, canal barge and steamboat during his visit. He was greeted along the way with parades, dinners and parties. Gator: The Gift That Keeps on Giving Now what exactly does one do with the gift of a live alligator, you might ask? Well, apparently if you are a French general who led troops alongside George Washington and fought in several crucial battles including the Battle of Brandywine in Pennsylvania and the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia, you bring the animal with you to the White House. Unfortunately, we don’t know what President and Mrs. John Quincy Adams ’s initial reactions were to this unusual re-gifting. ( Where’s You Tube when you need it? ) However, we do know that President Adams did what any president should do: He lodged the gator in the White House’s unfinished East Room and its nearby bathtub."

"text": "U. S. Divers Find Body of Toddler Snatched by Alligator at Disney Resort By NICK MADIGAN and CHRISTINE HAUSER JUNE 15, 2016Lane Graves Orange County Sheriff's Office LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Lane Graves was doing what any 2-year-old boy would be doing on a hot Florida evening — splashing around in the shallow waters of a lagoon. His parents and sister, Nebraskans all, were nearby on the beach at a Disney resort here, relaxing, carefree. Suddenly, an alligator sprang from the water and clamped its jaws around the boy. Lane’s father, Matt Graves, bounded into the lagoon to wrestle his son from the animal’s steel-trap grasp, but lost the battle, according to an account by the Orange County sheriff, Jerry L. Demings. The alligator made off with the boy, and an intense search for him yielded nothing in the wide, murky expanse of water until more than 16 hours later, early on Wednesday afternoon, when divers found him about six feet below the surface and only 10 to 15 feet from where he had last been seen. He was placed in a marine patrol boat, covered with a white sheet, and turned over to the medical examiner for an autopsy. During a news conference less than a mile from the lagoon, Sheriff Demings said that he and a Catholic priest had delivered the “tough message” of the boy’s death to Mr. Graves, his wife, Melissa, and their 4-year-old daughter, who live in the Elkhorn section of Omaha, Neb. “The family was distraught but also, I believe, relieved that we were able to find their son,” said the sheriff, who noted that there was no question in his mind that “the child was drowned by the alligator. ”Lane had been splashing about, the sheriff said, despite a sign that said swimming was not permitted in the lagoon. His father also summoned a lifeguard from a nearby pool, but he, too, was unable to rescue the boy."

The Jamaican Natural Resources Conservation Authority assures people that its country does not possess any alligators at all -- but it is home to one species of crocodile. No Alligators Here Jamaica is totally without alligators, but tourist attractions like the one named “Alligator Hole” lend confusion to the issue. In fact, Jamaica only has one species of crocodile, the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), which is the smallest and the least aggressive. However, these crocodiles can get large and have been known to attack people. One famous crocodile, “Lester,” was 14 feet long when he killed a woman in 1999. He was then killed himself. American Crocodile The American crocodile is far less aggressive than cousins in Africa and Australia that are sometimes highly antagonistic. The American crocodile is much more shy and tends to avoid people at all costs. Males get to between 8 and 12 feet normally, though specimens as long as 18 have been reported in Jamaica."

If you have ever seen an alligator with his mouth wide open, chances are you also saw its massive tongue sitting there, or possibly flopping around as the creature ate its dinner. An alligator’s mouth can be a rather intimidating sight. An alligator’s tongue is used to swallow prey whole. Both alligators and crocodiles have salt glands located on their tongues. However, these salt glands are not functional. In addition to these glands, an alligator has sensory pits that are located near their jaws. Do Alligators Hibernate? Alligators do not hibernate."

They're Basically Everywhere In Florida By Keiko Zoll June 15 2016Share After a 2-year-old toddler was attacked by an alligator at Walt Disney World late Tuesday night, the shocking nature of the attack has many wondering just where do alligators live? Pretty much if you're in Florida and there's water anywhere, there's basically a 99 percent chance it has one or more gators in it. That's not being snarky, either — the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission estimated there are as many as 1.3 million alligators in Florida. Alligators are found in all 67 counties in the Sunshine State, too. That's... a lot of alligators. Perhaps the most chilling warning the FWC has made for all residents of and visitors to Florida is \"\"Do assume there are alligators in every area of freshwater .\"\" Alligators are massive reptiles that can grow up to 10 feet in length, and weigh as much as 500 pounds. The American alligator, found across the entire southeastern region of the United States, prefers freshwater and brackish bodies of water, including: Lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, swamps, and marshes. As a result, the FWC receives as many as 16,000 alligator-related complaints a year from residents."

"text": "\"powered by American Alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis)Description: American alligators ( Alligator mississippiensis) inhabit the southeastern United States. Once a federally listed endangered species, American alligators have recovered and are common in many areas of the Southeast. The species is still federally listed as threatened because it looks like the American crocodile, which is endangered. Alligators are long-lived animals whose life spans can exceed 60 years. Alligators are “cold-blooded,” meaning that they are ectothermic animals that cannot regulate their own body temperature, but assume the temperatures of their surrounding environment. To warm themselves, alligators bask in the sun, which is when they are frequently observed on the banks of water bodies. On hot summer days they can sometimes be seen basking with their mouths open. This is a cooling mechanism essentially equivalent to a dog panting. Ecologically, alligators are important predators and create important habitat for other wildlife by digging holes that hold water during droughts. Range and habitat: Alligators occur on the Atlantic Coast of North America from Florida through coastal North Carolina, and along the Gulf Coast into Texas."

American alligators can be distinguished from Crocodylus acutus, the American crocodile, and Caiman crocodilus, common caiman, by the presence of a broad, rounded snout, without conspicuous teeth protruding while the mouth is closed (especially the lower 4th tooth) (Behler and King, 1979; Conant and Collins, 1998; Powell et al., 1998). Unlike C. crocodilus, alligators lack a prominent bony ridge in front of and between the eyes (Behler and King, 1979; Conant and Collins, 1998; Powell et al., 1998). See the species accounts titled \"\" Crocodylus acutus (Cuvier, 1807)\"\" and \"\" Caiman crocodilus (Linnaeus, 1758)\"\" on this website for comparison. The general dorsal coloration is black, but light juvenile markings may be present in adults; young have bold, yellowish crossbands on a black background (Grenard, 1991; Conant and Collins, 1998). The voice of both males and females is a throaty, deep, bellowing roar (Mc Ilhenny, 1935; Elliott, 1994; Conant and Collins, 1998). Elliott (1994) has made a recording of this penetrating roar available on a CD. Females may grunt like pigs when calling to their young (Mc Ilhenny, 1935; Conant and Collins, 1998)."

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

"text": "\"3.1.2 How old do you have to be to keep a crocodilian? This will be tough for some readers to accept, but it is good advice: crocodilians are not for kids. Often those who are most enthusiastic about keeping crocodilians tend to be younger, typically still in their teens. However, given the general unsuitability of crocodilians as \"\"pets\"\" and the experience required to keep them, it is strongly recommended that you are in stable financial position, have longterm facilities available, are physically capable of dealing with very strong and boisterous reptiles, and that you have several years of experience with larger reptiles. Yes it's true, anyone can keep a hatchling alligator or crocodile easily. But they don't stay that way for long. Most teenagers live in times of great change, and their ability to keep a crocodile now may not be the same in a few years.

Although alligators only thrive in fresh water because they can't digest salt, crocodiles can live in both fresh and salt water. The Everglades is unique because fresh water in the Florida Bay meets the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico, creating a perfect ecosystem for both animals to live together. Wanna know more? Here are some other interesting facts about gators: There are over 200,000 alligators in the Everglades —but over 1.5 million in the state of Florida!The coastal plains of the southeastern United States are home to most gators, who live in both natural and man-made freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers, and wetland areas. Alligators do not eat human beings! However, they will protect and defend themselves, attacking humans if they get too close or endanger their young. Gators are territorial and frequently get into fights defending their space. As a result, you'll often see alligators that are scarred or missing a tail, leg or eye from a fight. As solitary reptiles, you'll rarely see alligators in groups except during the spring mating season."

"text": "Click Here for a professional in your area Squirrel Babies Gray Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, Red Squirrels and many other types of squirrels give birth to squirrel babies twice a year usually in the months of December through February and again in the months of May through June. This time line may be off by as much as a month depending on the specific location and the weather patterns your area is experiencing at that specific time. In most central locations of the United States the first squirrel babies are born in the months of February and March and the second litter of squirrel babies will be born in the months of June and July. The average litter size of the gray squirrel babies is normally 2 to 6 baby squirrels and we have experienced numbers as high as 8 to 10 baby squirrels in a litter. Gray squirrels have a gestation period of about 44 days. The baby squirrels are born naked meaning they have no hair and are weaned after seven weeks. The baby squirrels will leave the nest after 10 weeks of age to start to forage on their own. The baby squirrel will enter back into the breeding cycle at the age of 5 1/2 months this is where the baby squirrel reaches sexual maturity and the cycle will completely start over. In captivity, squirrels have been known to live as long as 20 years but in the wild it is estimated that gray squirrel will live to be a maximum of 12 years old. In that 12 years it is estimated that a healthy adult female gray squirrel could have had over 125 baby squirrels in the course of her life."

The red squirrel is a small arboreal squirrel, smaller than the gray squirrel or the fox squirrel, and weighing an average of only 11 ounces (300 grams). The red squirrel's head and body are about 7 to 8 inches (18-20 cm) long and its tail is about 4 to 6 inches (10-15 cm) long. The red squirrel is not actually red, but rather reddish-orange in color. This species of squirrel molts its fur coat twice each year. The summer coat appears in late spring and is brownish red on the back and sides and white on the belly. The tail is reddish on top and gray underneath. A ring of white fur around the eye is characteristic of this species.

Red Squirrels (Fox Squirrels)The most common squirrel in North America is the red squirrel. It is so common, in fact, that the nomenclature for red squirrels gets more than a little confusing. Sciurus niger, its Latin zoological name, literally means “black squirrel” ( Tesky, Julie L has wrote a paper on them). Red squirrels are also known as fox squirrels, stump-eared squirrels, raccoon squirrels, and monkey-faced squirrels. They are often mistaken for Eastern gray squirrels, despite the fact that the “red” squirrel has a reddish coat on its back, red and black on its tail, and rust-colored fur on its legs.

If at all possible, please postpone trimming trees and branches with nests in them. Wait until the babies are old enough to leave the nest on their own. An average nest of squirrel babies may consist of 2-4 young , but can even be as many as 5 -6. When first born, the babies are hairless, we call them “pinkies” and their eyes are closed. They are totally helpless and need their mothers for warmth and nourishment. The babies won’t open their eyes for 4-5 weeks, and they are not able to regulate their body heat until about 6-7 weeks of age.

When people find young squirrels, whether tiny eyes-closed infants or slightly older eyes-open (but un-weaned) babies, it is usually due to one of 5 scenarios: The mother is gone – trapped and removed or killed. The nest has failed – high winds or heavy rain may contribute – or tree trimming/removal that destroys the nest. Young may be found on the ground or in a fallen nest. The mother is moving her young, and one has fallen or been separated. Predation of the nest has occurred – if a cat or crow for example, raids the nest. The family pet brings a baby home – this scenario can follow any of the first four, if a pet finds a baby on the ground."

"text": "\"Answer Surprisingly, raising wild rabbits is about the same as raising domestic ones. Keep them in the house until they are about 4 weeks old so they will be warm enough. Put them in a 2 sq ft cardboard box that has very high sides. Put some hay in it that they can either hide under or lay on top of. Judging their age is important. Rabbits eyes come open at about 10 or 11 days after birth. Hand feed them until they are 14 days old. They will start eating on their own - hay, carrots, and rabbit pellets around 14 days old. They should be released into the wild when they are 4-6 weeks old. Don't keep wild rabbits together after they are 2 months old - they will tear each other apart."

"text": "\"Home > Facts > Animal Facts > Squirrel monkey Facts Squirrel monkey Facts Squirrel monkey Facts Squirrel monkey is one of the smallest members of the primate group. There are five species of squirrel monkey that can be found in Central and South America. Squirrel monkeys live in dense tropical rainforests, wetlands, marshes and mangrove forests. Habitat loss is the main threat to the survival of squirrel monkeys. As a result of increased agriculture and shrinking of the territory of squirrel monkeys, they frequently invade plantations. Farmers kill squirrel monkeys to prevent damaging of the crops. Out of five species, two are listed as vulnerable (they can become endangered in the near future). Interesting Squirrel monkey Facts: Squirrel monkey is small in size. Males are bigger than females. On average, they can reach 9.8 to 14 inches in height and 1.7 to 2.4 pounds in weight."

"text": "Tree Squirrels Articles, Squirrels In the Spring and Summer, squirrels have already built their nests and are having their young. It is also a time when many of us trim trees and branches. If at all possible, please postpone trimming trees and branches with nests in them. Wait until the babies are old enough to leave the nest on their own. An average nest of squirrel babies may consist of 2-4 young , but can even be as many as 5 -6. When first born, the babies are hairless, we call them “pinkies” and their eyes are closed. They are totally helpless and need their mothers for warmth and nourishment. The babies won’t open their eyes for 4-5 weeks, and they are not able to regulate their body heat until about 6-7 weeks of age. Many orphaned baby squirrels brought to Native Animal Rescue for rehabilitation are brought due to human interference. A mother squirrel who is frightened off her nest by tree trimmers, leaves her young very vulnerable to the elements and to other predatory animals."
