what was the harlem renaissance? what was its effect
|
<P> Though it was centered in the Harlem neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, in addition, many francophone black writers from African and Caribbean colonies who lived in Paris were also influenced by the Harlem Renaissance. The Movement also included the new African-American cultural expressions across the urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest United States affected by the Great Migration (African American) , of which Harlem was the largest. The Harlem Renaissance was considered to be a rebirth of African American arts. <P> Lesson Summary. The Harlem Renaissance was an African-American cultural movement that flourished throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s. Called the 'New Negro Movement' during its time, Harlem Renaissance artists, writers and musicians developed new ways to express African-American pride. Central to the Harlem Renaissance was the concept that the time had come for African-Americans to take their rightful place in society and contribute to culture in meaningful ways. Although the movement peaked throughout the late 1920s, its impact continued into the 1930s and beyond. <P> Ms. Angelou talked about the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance and its impact on racial identity and culture. Her remarks were part of an annual festival honoring Zora Neale Hurston where she received an award for poetry and efforts on behalf of African-Americans. close. <P> 'The New Negro Movement,' as it was called during its time, the Harlem Renaissance was essentially the flowering of a unique African-American culture. African-American writers, poets, artists, musicians and intellectuals found new ways to express pride in their race and culture. Central to the Harlem Renaissance was the concept that the time had come for African-Americans to take their rightful place in society and contribute to culture in meaningful ways.

The Harlem Renaissance was the name given to the cultural, social, and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem, New York. During the time, it was known as the New Negro Movement , named after the 1925 anthology by Alain Locke. The Movement also included the new African-American cultural expressions across the urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest United States affected by the Great Migration (African American) , of which Harlem was the largest. The Harlem Renaissance was considered to be a rebirth of African American arts. <P> Harlem would see new black writers in the years to come. Musicians, poets, and artists would continue to make their home there, but it never again served as the focal point of a creative movement with the national and international impact of the Harlem Renaissance. Certainly Harlem is central to the Harlem Renaissance, but it serves more as an anchor for the movement than as its sole location. In reality, the Harlem Renaissance both drew from and spread its influence across the United States, the Caribbean, and the world. <P> The Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was an African-American artistic and intellectual movement that flourished throughout the 1920s. The movement was based in Harlem, New York, but its influence extended throughout the nation and even the world. Central to the Harlem Renaissance was the concept that the time had come for African-Americans to take their rightful place in society and contribute to culture in meaningful ways. Although the movement peaked throughout the late 1920s, its impact continued into the 1930s and beyond. <P> This African-American cultural movement became known as The New Negro Movement and later as the Harlem Renaissance. Although it was short lived the Harlem Renaissance changed the face of black America forever. The literary movement during the Harlem Renaissance was a raging fire that brought about new life for the African American writer; its flame still burns today through the writings of contemporary African American writers.... <P> The Harlem Renaissance. The Savoy Ballroom in Harlem in 1926 was The Place and Lindy Hop was The Dance! It was time for a cultural celebration. African Americans had endured centuries of slavery and the struggle for abolition. The end of bondage had not brought the promised land many had envisioned. The results were phenomenal. The artists of the Harlem Renaissance undoubtedly transformed African American culture. But the impact on all American culture was equally strong. For the first time, white America could not look away. <P> The Harlem Renaissance was the name given to the cultural, social, and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem between the end of World War I and the middle of the 1930s. During this period Harlem was a cultural center, drawing black writers, artists, musicians, photographers, poets, and scholars.

The term Full Frame is used by D-SLR users as a short-hand for an image sensor which is the same size as 35mm format (36×24 mm) film. Historically, 35 mm was considered a small film format compared with medium format, large format and even larger. This is in contrast to cameras with smaller sensors (for instance, those with a size equivalent to APS-C -size film), much smaller than a full 35 mm frame. For example, a 24 mm lens on a camera with a crop factor of 1.5 has a 62° diagonal angle of view, the same as that of a 36 mm lens on a 35 mm film camera.

what is gadolinium used for
|
<P> When injected into the body, gadolinium contrast medium makes certain tissues, abnormalities or disease processes more clearly visible on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Gadolinium based contrast medium is sometimes called an MRI contrast medium or agent. <P> Gadolinium is a silvery-white malleable and ductile rare-earth metal. It crystallizes in hexagonal, close-packed α-form at room temperature, but, when heated to temperatures above 1235 °C, it transforms into its β-form, which has a body-centered cubic structure. Gadolinium as a phosphor is also used in other imaging. In X-ray systems, gadolinium is contained in the phosphor layer, suspended in a polymer matrix at the detector. Terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb) at the phosphor layer converts the X-rays released from the source into light. <P> Gadolinium is a contrast agent solution used during an MRI or magnetic resonance imaging. Commonly used to detect tumors in the body and brain, Gadolinium is injected into the bloodstream where it highlights the features of the body and displays any abnormal growths when exposed to MRI scanning. The solution is colorless, resembling clear water and is non-radioactive <P> Gadolinium is used in alloys of iron and chromium to improve resistance to high temperatures and oxidation. Gadolinium is used to make gadolinium yttrium garnets which have microwave applications. Gadolinium compounds are used as green phosphors in color television picture tubes. Because of its magnetic properties, gadolinium is also used in intravenous radiocontrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Naturally occurring gadolinium is a mixture of seven isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 152 Gd (0.2%), 154 Gd (2.2%), 155 Gd (14.8%), 156 Gd (20.5%), 157 Gd (15.7%), 158 Gd (24.8%) and 160 Gd (21.9%). The most abundant isotope is 158 Gd at 24.8%. <P> Yes, MRI and MRA can be performed without contrast. MRI with gadolinium-based contrast agents provides additional diagnostic information as compared to MRI without contrast. The use of gadolinium-based contrast agents in MRA is not FDA approved. MRA with gadolinium-based contrast is thought by many radiologists to provide more detailed images of blood vessels than MRA without gadolinium-based contrast. <P> Gadolinium is a metal found in contrast agents (dyes) that are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures, including a procedure called magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Since 1988, five gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have been approved by the FDA. Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents. Gadolinium-based contrast agents are used in a variety of MRI-based procedures. Gadolinium is easy to see due to its bright appearance, allowing doctors to identify certain bodily tissues. <P> Gadolinium has the greatest ability to capture thermal neutrons of all known elements and can be used as control rods for nuclear reactors. Unfortunately, the two isotopes best suited for neutron capture, gadolinium-155 and gadolinium-157, are present in gadolinium in small amounts. <P> The following uses for gadolinium are gathered from a number of sources as well as from anecdotal comments. I'd be delighted to receive corrections as well as additional referenced uses (please use the feedback mechanism to add uses). <P> Gadolinium is a chemical element with symbol Gd and atomic number 64. It is a silvery-white, malleable and ductile rare-earth metal. It is found in nature only in combined (salt) form. Gadolinium was first detected spectroscopically in 1880 by de Marignac who separated its oxide and is credited with its discovery. Gadolinium as a phosphor is also used in other imaging. In X-ray systems, gadolinium is contained in the phosphor layer, suspended in a polymer matrix at the detector. Terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb) at the phosphor layer converts the X-rays released from the source into light. <P> Gadolinium-based contrast agents are approved by FDA for use with MRI as a contrast agent to provide an improved image of body organs and tissues. Gadolinium-based contrast agents are also used for MRA, another imaging procedure used to evaluate blood vessels. 3. The use of gadolinium-based contrast agents in MRA is not FDA approved. MRA with gadolinium-based contrast is thought by many radiologists to provide more detailed images of blood vessels than MRA without gadolinium-based contrast.

medications that cause tinnitus
|
<P> Ototoxic drugs (such as aspirin) can also cause subjective tinnitus, as they may cause hearing loss, or increase the damage done by exposure to loud noise. Those damages can occur even at doses that are not considered ototoxic. Tinnitus is also a classical side effect of quinidine, a Class IA anti-arrhythmic. Other causes include: ear infections, disease of the heart or blood vessels, Meniere's disease, brain tumors, exposure to certain medications, a previous head injury and earwax. It is more common in those with depression. <P> •ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) •furosemide (Lasix) •hydrochlorthiazide (Hydrodiuril) •methylchlorthizide (Enduron) Adapted from the pamphlet: Ototoxic Medications: Drugs that can cause hearing loss and tinnitus Article by Orin S. Kaufman, D.O. League for the Hard of Hearing. <P> List of Drugs That Cause Tinnitus. Below you can find a list of ototoxic (damage to the ears) drugs from the Physicians Daily Reference that may cause tinnitus as a side effect. If you are taking any of these drugs and suffer from tinnitus then you should consult your doctor about alternative medications. <P> One of the most common causes is noise-induced hearing loss. Other causes include: ear infections, disease of the heart or blood vessels, Meniere's disease, brain tumors, exposure to certain medications, a previous head injury and earwax. It is more common in those with depression. <P> Medicines That Can Cause Tinnitus. Many prescription and nonprescription medicines can cause ringing in the ears (tinnitus). A few examples are: 1 Aspirin, ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), and naproxen (such as Aleve). 2 Some blood pressure and heart medicines. 3 Some antidepressants. 4 Some cancer medicines. <P> Ototoxic medications known to cause permanent damage include certain aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as gentamicin (family history may increase susceptibility), and cancer chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin and carboplatin. Certain medications can damage the ear, resulting in hearing loss, ringing in the ear, or balance disorders. These drugs are considered ototoxic. <P> Be sure to inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, because tinnitus can be a side effect of some drugs. If the source of the problem remains unclear, you may be sent to an otologist or an otolaryngologist (both ear specialists) or an audiologist (a hearing specialist) for hearing and nerve tests. Medications for Tinnitus. Many drugs have been studied for treating tinnitus. For some, treatment with low doses of anti-anxiety drugs -- such as Valium or antidepressants such as Elavil -- help reduce tinnitus. <P> Most tinnitus is associated with damage to the auditory (hearing) system, although it can also be associated with other events or factors: jaw, head, or neck injury; exposure to certain drugs; nerve damage; or vascular (blood-flow) problems. Hearing loss from exposure to loud noise: Acute hearing depends on the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Exposure to loud noise can injure these nerve endings and result in hearing loss. Hearing damage from noise exposure is considered to be the leading cause of tinnitus. <P> Get the Facts Here. Even though a large number of drugs or medications reportedly cause tinnitus, it would perhaps be fair to say that tinnitus occurs mostly as side effects that are associated with them.

how much to charge per square foot for commercial cleaning
|
<P> For example, per square foot figures ranging from $0.08 – $0.14 per sq. ft. or $0.95 – $1.50 per sq. ft., are offered up with little or no explanation; assuming it’s common knowledge that the former generally refers to a monthly calculation; while the latter is meant for a yearly price estimate. Educated Guess. Some say knowing how much to price a janitorial, office-cleaning bid at is as easy as multiplying the total cleanable square feet of a building by so many dollars or cents per square foot. <P> If we were to tell you that the average price per square foot for carpet cleaning pricing is $0.28 per square foot, it tells very little about the franchise that charges $0.35 per square foot for carpet cleaning or the carpet cleaning price of $0.15 that your mom and pop carpet cleaner may charge for the same service. The average new carpet price is something like $2 per square foot at retail and about $1 per square foot through our Dalton, GA discount carpet wholesalers. Carpet installation prices average about $0.50 per square foot. Carpet cleaning price averages about $0.28 <P> 1 Most companies charge separately for labor-intensive special services such as stripping and waxing floors 25 cents - 50 cents a square foot), carpet cleaning ($20-$40 an hour), and cleaning microwaves or refrigerators ($10-$35 per appliance). 2 Generally the larger the office, the lower the cost per square foot. 1 Many cleaning companies will charge a flat rate for smaller jobs. 2 Emptying the trash and light cleaning (vacuuming and dusting) in an extremely small office starts around $20-$30 per visit and goes up depending on office size, the number of restrooms and the type and amount of cleaning requested. <P> Businesses in major metropolitan cities will pay more for cleaning services than companies in rural areas. For instance, if you operate a 10,000-square foot office in New York City you could pay $0.05 to $0.10 per square foot. These amounts can increase by $0.10 to $0.40 per square foot as you add different services, more workers, or premium cleaning supplies to your contract. Another cleaning pricing consideration is the size of your office. <P> Prices for post-construction cleanup vary, of course, but the average price for a residential job is $500-$800. For commercial cleanup, budget anywhere from $0.10 to $0.50 per square foot, depending on the type of cleaning. <P> Divide the total number amount of money received by the total square feet cleaned. Using the above example, this amounts to $600/40,000 square feet, which is $0.015 per square foot. Determine the price for a new example client who wants a 3,000-square-foot floor cleaned 15 times a month. Find the total square feet cleaned per month by multiplying the floor area by the times cleaned per month. This gives 3,000 square feet x 15 or 45,000 square feet. Multiply the total square feet to be cleaned by your price per square foot to obtain the total price to charge the client. <P> 1 Generally the larger the office, the lower the cost per square foot. 2 Basic nightly janitorial service for a 20,000-square-foot office in a major city can run 5 cents - 10 cents per square foot or $2,000-$4,000 a month. 1 Many cleaning companies will charge a flat rate for smaller jobs. 2 Emptying the trash and light cleaning (vacuuming and dusting) in an extremely small office starts around $20-$30 per visit and goes up depending on office size, the number of restrooms and the type and amount of cleaning requested. <P> For example, say your first cleaning job paid $600 for cleaning a 2,000-square-foot floor 20 times a month. This is a total of 2,000 x 20 square feet or 40,000 square feet. You should determine how much you were paid per square foot, so on your next job you know what to charge. Find the total square feet cleaned per month by multiplying the floor area by the times cleaned per month. This gives 3,000 square feet x 15 or 45,000 square feet. Multiply the total square feet to be cleaned by your price per square foot to obtain the total price to charge the client. <P> The average home has about 1000 square feet of carpet. At $0.15 per foot, this amounts to $150.00 for about two and a half hours work (80 minutes cleaning-40 minutes set up/break down-30 minutes transportation time) If there is less than 500 sq. ft. of carpet, I would charge a minimum $75 fee just to unwind my hoses. The average new carpet price is something like $2 per square foot at retail and about $1 per square foot through our Dalton, GA discount carpet wholesalers. Carpet installation prices average about $0.50 per square foot. Carpet cleaning price averages about $0.28 <P> Special services rates. Costs for special services trend higher than day-to-day cleaning jobs. It may cost $0.10 to $0.15 per square foot to extract carpets and $0.20 to $0.30 per square foot to strip and wax tile floors. These amounts can increase by $0.10 to $0.40 per square foot as you add different services, more workers, or premium cleaning supplies to your contract. Another cleaning pricing consideration is the size of your office.

what is the function of starch and which type of cell is it found in
|
<P> Glycogen is the energy storage in animals, starch is the energy storage in plants, and cellulose makes up the cell wall in plants (chitin makes up cell wall in fungi and exoskeleton of arthropods). Function of polysaccharides. by: Umer Parvez. <P> Fructose is a carbohydrate, and is a simple sugar found in fruits. It is often called just fruit sugar. Fructose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. <P> Starch is a storage carbohydrate made of glucose monomers that are used for cellular fuel. The glucose monomers in amylose are joined by 1-4 linkages. Amylopectin, a branche … d polymer, has 1-4 linkages at its straight points and 1-6 linkages at branch points. All the glucose monomers in starch are in the a configuration. Cellulose is a building material found in plant cell walls. It is also made of glucose monomers, but its glycosidic linkages are different from those of starch. The glucose monomers of cellulose are all in the b configuration, making every other glucose monomer upside down in relation to the others. <P> A type of complex carbohydrate, starch is found in a wide range of foods, including potatoes and whole grains. Starch breaks down into glucose in your body, providing a more gradual energy source for your bodily processes than simple carbohydrates, such as refined sugar. <P> Glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate, and is the most important simple sugar in human metabolism. Glucose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose.

What cells does aldosterone affect
|
<P> Aldosterone is a steroid hormone (mineralocorticoid family) produced by the outer section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. 1 Aldosterone stimulates the secretion of K + into the tubular lumen. 2 Aldosterone stimulates Na + and water reabsorption from the gut, salivary and sweat glands in exchange for K + . <P> Guide. An aldosterone test measures the level of aldosterone (a hormone made by the adrenal glands), in the blood. Aldosterone helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body. This helps control blood pressure and the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the blood. Why It Is Done. An aldosterone test is done to: 1 Measure the amount of aldosterone released into the body by the adrenal glands. 2 Check for a tumor in the adrenal glands. 3 Find the cause of high blood pressure or low blood potassium levels. <P> An aldosterone test measures the level of aldosterone (a hormone made by the adrenal glands), in the blood.

Muto S(1). Author information: (1)Department of Nephrology, Jichi Medical School, Tochigi, Japan. Aldosterone is a type of steroid hormone that acts primarily in renal collecting ducts to stimulate reabsorption of Na+ as well as secretion of K+ and H+. It binds with intracellular receptors in the nucleus that stimulate the expression of several genes. <P> 250px Benjah 2006 Aldosterone 2D structure. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone which is secreted from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland. It has a mineralocorticoid activity and is the most important regulator of plasma potassium. I.e. angiotensin 2 and aldosterone affect sodium, but they also affect the extra cellular fluid (ECF) volume, so only the quantity is affected, not the concentration. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and the thirst response also work together to dilute the ECF if the concentrations of sodium is high. <P> Aldosterone, a steroid hormone with mineralocorticoid activity, is mainly recognized for its action on sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron of the kidney, which is mediated by the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). <P> Regulation of Na + Reabsorption. The principal regulator of Na + reabsorption is the steroid hormone aldosterone, which is produced in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone, like all steroid hormones, works as a transcription factor to alter gene expression in cells. <P> 1 (The increased potassium level works to regulate aldosterone synthesis by depolarizing the cells in the zona glomerulosa, which opens the voltage-dependent calcium channels .) The level of angiotensin II is regulated by angiotensin I, which is in turn regulated by renin, a hormone secreted in the kidneys. 1 Aldosterone stimulates the secretion of K + into the tubular lumen. 2 Aldosterone stimulates Na + and water reabsorption from the gut, salivary and sweat glands in exchange for K + . <P> Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands located just above each kidney. Aldosterone helps to control the amount of fluid in the body by affecting how much salt and water the kidney retains or excretes. The adrenal glands produce aldosterone in response to another hormone called renin. Renin is produced by specialised cells in the kidney that detect when the body is dehydrated; renin released by the kidney signals the adrenal glands to release aldosterone

what temp to cook tuna
|
<P> Searing tuna steaks in a hot skillet caramelizes the surfaces of the fish and locks in the moisture. Start with 3/4-inch-thick steaks. 1 Choose a heavy skillet that best fits the number of tuna steaks you are cooking. 2 Add 1 to 3 teaspoons cooking oil or olive oil to lightly coat the skillet. 3 Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. 4 Add the tuna steaks. <P> Step 7. Bake for approximately 25 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking time depends on the oven temperature, quantity and size of steaks. For example, a 7-ounce tuna steak bakes in 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Step 1. Preheat the oven to between 350 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit. You can bake tuna at any temperature within this range, but cooking times will vary according to temperature, size and thickness of the tuna steak. <P> Alex – it all depends on the thickness of your tuna steaks and the temperature of the grill. In this case the steaks are roughly 1.5 inches thick. I also suggested that you adjust the temperature so that you can hold your hand over the grates for 4-5 seconds you are at the perfect temp. 1 Medium - 4½ minutes on each side. 2 Medium Well - 5 minutes on each side. 3 Well-Well I don't recommend this but if you wish to kill the tuna again cook it for 6 minutes or more <P> 4. Bake the tuna. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the skin is no longer pink and flakes when poked with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes. The actual cooking time will depend upon on how thick your steaks are. Ahi tuna steaks are mostly grilled or seared to bring out the best in their flavour, but you can also bake them to reach a different texture. In case you are buying a piece of sushi-grade tuna, you can forego cooking and serve it raw. 1 Prep time (Searing): 10 minutes. 2 Cook time: 4-5 minutes. 3 Total time: 15 minutes. <P> 1 Heat your grill to a surface temperature of 400 degrees. 2 Rub oil on tuna steaks and season with salt and pepper. 3 If you enjoy your tuna steak rare to medium rare grill your tuna approximately 3 minutes per inch of thickness. 1 6-8oz Ahi tuna steaks, at least 1 inch think. 1 Tablespoon extra virgin unfiltered olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 <P> 3. Grill the tuna steaks. Tuna steaks will usually need to cook for roughly 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch (1.27-cm) thickness. Turn once in the middle of the cooking process to promote even cooking. 1 Leave the grill uncovered if using charcoal but cover it if using gas. Broil the tuna for 3 minutes per side. After 3 minutes, flip the tuna steaks over to the other side and return to the broiler for an additional 3 minutes or until done. 1 Place the broiler pan on the top rack of the oven, roughly 4 inches (10 cm) away from the top heating element. <P> 1 Reduce heat to medium. 2 Place tuna on the grill rack over heat. 3 Cover the grill. 4 Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork but is still pink in the center, turning once halfway through cooking. Start with 3/4-inch-thick steaks. 1 Choose a heavy skillet that best fits the number of tuna steaks you are cooking. 2 Add 1 to 3 teaspoons cooking oil or olive oil to lightly coat the skillet. 3 Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. 4 Add the tuna steaks. <P> 1 Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. 2 Add the tuna steaks. 3 The steaks should sizzle when added. 4 Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 9 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork but is still pink in the center, turning once during cooking. Start with 3/4-inch-thick steaks. 1 Choose a heavy skillet that best fits the number of tuna steaks you are cooking. 2 Add 1 to 3 teaspoons cooking oil or olive oil to lightly coat the skillet. 3 Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. 4

what are colonies ?
|
<P> The middle colonies included Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. Advantaged by their central location, the middle colonies served as important distribution centers in the English mercantile system. New York and Philadelphia grew at a fantastic rate. <P> The thirteen were: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. <P> In the end the thirteen colonies were: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. <P> Nowhere was that diversity more evident in pre-Revolutionary America than in the middle colonies of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. European ethnic groups as manifold as English, Swedes, Dutch, Germans, Scots-Irish and French lived in closer proximity than in any location on continental Europe. <P> The Thirteen Colonies were British colonies in North America founded between 1607, with the settlement of Virginia, and 1732, with the settlement of Georgia. <P> In politics and history, a colony is a territory under the immediate political control of a state, distinct from the home territory of the sovereign. For colonies in antiquity, city-states would often found their own colonies. <P> The Middle Colonies were more diverse than colonies in New England and the South. Most of the early settlers depended on the fur trade and on farming for economic survival. The most populous of the Middle colonies was Pennsylvania, other colonies were settled rather haphazardly over the course of the 17th century. <P> Definitions of Colonies: 1. A group of emigrants or their descendants who settle in a distant territory but remain subject to or closely associated with the parent country. 2. A territory thus settled. <P> Portrait of the British Colonies [edit]. The Colonies are often considered as three groups: New England (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut), the Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia), and the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware).

what event triggered the war between the union and the confederacy
|
<P> Abraham Lincoln (National Archives). The Civil War is the central event in America's historical consciousness. While the Revolution of 1776-1783 created the United States, the Civil War of 1861-1865 determined what kind of nation it would be. The event that triggered war came at Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay on April 12, 1861. Claiming this United States fort as their own, the Confederate army on that day opened fire on the federal garrison and forced it to lower the American flag in surrender. Lincoln called out the militia to suppress this insurrection.. <P> They included Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia. (West Virginia succeeded from Virginia after Virginia succeeded from the Union in order to avoid fighting for the Confederacy.) They were all near the border of the Confederacy.

what is language based disfluency
|
<P> Children may also exhibit a higher number of speech interjections as they develop their language formulation abilities. Stuttering typically consists of speech disfluencies along with tension, struggle, secondary behaviors, or negative reactions to disfluencies (e.g., frustration). Disruptions in the forward flow of speech may consist of: 1 Repetitions: repeating of a syllable, sound, word, or phrase (e.g., “li-li-li-like this”). 2 Prolongations: holding onto a sound for an extended period of time (e.g, “lll <P> (February 2008). A speech disfluency, also spelled speech dysfluency, is any of various breaks, irregularities, or non-lexical vocables that occurs within the flow of otherwise fluent speech. Fillers are parts of speech which are not generally recognized as purposeful or containing formal meaning, usually expressed as pauses such as uh, like and er, but also extending to repairs (He was wearing a black—uh, I mean a blue, a blue shirt), and articulation problems such as stuttering. <P> The types of stuttering and frequency of the disfluencies dictate how “fluent” a person’s speech is perceived to be. Some types of disfluencies are typical in preschoolers as language emerges. Others, such as part-word repetitions (“Sat-sat-Saturday”) or prolongations (“sssssssssaturday”) are not. As children develop speech and language, variations of disfluencies can appear and disappear. Paying attention to the time since onset and the types of stuttering can be helpful in deciding whether or not an evaluation is needed. <P> Stuttering occurs when the flow of speech is broken by abnormal stoppages, repetitions, or prolongations of sounds and syllables. Disruptions in the forward flow of speech may consist of: 1 Repetitions: repeating of a syllable, sound, word, or phrase (e.g., “li-li-li-like this”). 2 Prolongations: holding onto a sound for an extended period of time (e.g, “lll <P> Stuttering is a speech/language impairment characterized by disruptions in the forward flow of speech (or speech disfluencies), such as repetitions of whole words or parts of words, prolongations of sounds, or complete blockages of sound. <P> Summarizing. Cluttering is a language based fluency disorder. When language production is relatively easy a person with cluttering is capable to produce fluent and intelligible speech. When language production is more difficult, speech rate should be adjusted to the language complexity. Cluttering is a disorder of speech fluency, in which a person is not capable enough to adjust his/her speech rate to the syntactical (grammar) or phonological (word structure) demands of the moment. (Van Zaalen, 2009). <P> For many, certain life events are thought to trigger fluency difficulty. One of the triggers for developmental stuttering may be the development of grammar skills. Between the ages of 2 and 5 years, children learn many of the grammatical rules of language. At the same time, however, stuttering can affect more than just a person's observable speech. Some characteristics of stuttered speech are not as easy for listeners to detect. As a result, diagnosing stuttering requires the skills of a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP). <P> Neurogenic stuttering is a type of fluency disorder in which a person has difficulty in producing speech in a normal, smooth fashion. Individuals with fluency disorders may have speech that sounds fragmented or halting, with frequent interruptions and difficulty producing words without effort or struggle. <P> Stuttering is a disruption in the forward flow of speech that is typically accompanied by physical tension, secondary behaviors, avoidance of communication, and/or negative reactions on the part of the speaker. Disruptions in the forward flow of speech may consist of: 1 Repetitions: repeating of a syllable, sound, word, or phrase (e.g., “li-li-li-like this”). 2 Prolongations: holding onto a sound for an extended period of time (e.g, “lll <P> Speech and language impairment are basic categories that might be drawn in issues of communication involve hearing, speech, language, and fluency. A speech impairment is characterized by difficulty in articulation of words. Examples include stuttering or problems producing particular sounds.

what is endo
|
<P> Facepalm! Jeez there are a lot of rookies chiming on this word. Endo as a term referring to a type of marijuana does not come from indoor.. It is a mispelling of the term Indo, which refers to one of the two species of marijuana, Cannabis Indica. Indica is said to provide more of a relaxed, body high whereas the other species, Cannabis Sativa, is said to create a higher energy, more cerebral high. <P> Endometrial cells are the lining cells of the uterus and are cells that are shed each month during menstruation. Endometriosis occurs when cells like the lining of the uterus grow in or on tissues outside the uterus; these areas are called endometriosis implants. These implants are most commonly found on the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, outer surfaces of the uterus or intestines, and on the surface lining of the pelvic cavity. 1 Endometriosis is more common in women who are experiencing infertility than in fertile women, but the condition does not necessarily cause infertility. 2 Most women with endometriosis have no symptoms, however, when women do experience symptoms they may include: 3 Pelvic pain that may worsen <P> 1 Generally, endometriosis is found in the pelvic cavity. 2 It can attach to any of the female reproductive organs (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries), the uterosacral ligaments, the peritoneum, or any of the spaces between the bladder, uterus/vagina, and rectum. MYTH: A hysterectomy will cure endometriosis. FACT: There is no cure for endometriosis, and most women undergoing a hysterectomy will still experience pain. 1 On average in the US, it takes 10 years from symptom onset to receive an accurate diagnosis of <P> Endometriosis-Topic Overview. Endometriosis (say en-doh-mee-tree-OH-sus) is a problem many women have during their childbearing years. It means that a type of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing outside your uterus. This does not always cause symptoms. This is your menstrual period. When you have endometriosis, the implants of tissue outside your uterus act just like the tissue lining your uterus. During your menstrual cycle, they get thicker, then break down and bleed. But the implants are outside your uterus, so the blood cannot flow out of your body. <P> Another theory suggests that endometrial tissue is distributed from the uterus to other parts of the body through the lymph system or through the blood system. A genetic theory suggests that it may be carried in the genes in certain families or that some families may have predisposing factors to endometriosis. Endometriosis is a painful, chronic disease that affects at least 6.3 million women and girls in the U.S., 1 million in Canada, and millions more worldwide. <P> Experts don't know what causes endometrial tissue to grow outside your uterus. But they do know that the female hormone estrogen makes the problem worse. Women have high levels of estrogen during their childbearing years. It is during these years-usually from their teens into their 40s-that women have endometriosis. This is your menstrual period. When you have endometriosis, the implants of tissue outside your uterus act just like the tissue lining your uterus. During your menstrual cycle, they get thicker, then break down and bleed. But the implants are outside your uterus, so the blood cannot flow out of your body. <P> Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus grows outside it. The main symptoms are pelvic pain and infertility. Nearly half of those affected have chronic pelvic pain, while in 70% pain occurs during menstruation. Pain with sex is also common. Endometriosis is estimated to occur in roughly 6–10% of women. It is most common in those in their thirties and forties. It results in few deaths with this being estimated at 200 globally in 2013. <P> Endometriosis, sometimes called endo, is a common health problem in women. It gets its name from the word endometrium, (en-doh-MEE-tree-um) the tissue that normally lines the uterus or womb. Endometriosis happens when this tissue grows outside of your uterus and on other areas in your body where it doesn't belong. Symptoms of endometriosis can include: 1 Pain. 2 This is the most common symptom. 3 Women with endometriosis may have many different kinds of pain. 4 These include: 5 Very painful menstrual cramps. 6 The pain may get worse over time. 7 Chronic (long-term) pain in the lower back and pelvis. <P> Endometriosis (en-doh-mee-tree-OH-suhs) happens when the lining of the uterus (womb) grows outside of the uterus. It affects about 5 million American women. Endometriosis is especially common among women in their 30s and 40s. The most common symptom is pain. Symptoms of endometriosis can include: 1 Pain. 2 This is the most common symptom. 3 Women with endometriosis may have many different kinds of pain. 4 These include: 5 Very painful menstrual cramps. 6 The pain may get worse over time. 7 Chronic (long-term) pain in the lower back and pelvis.

what causes eyelid to droop
|
<P> Medical Conditions. If your eyelids are drooping, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition, especially if the issue affects both eyelids. If just one of your eyelids droops, it may be a result of a nerve injury or a temporary sty (inflammation and swelling of the eyelid that is usually harmless). Routine LASIK or cataract surgery is sometimes to blame for the development of ptosis, as a result of the muscle or tendon being stretched. <P> Causes. Drooping eyelids may be due to a variety of conditions include aging, diabetes, stroke, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis, or a brain tumor or other cancer that affects nerve or muscle reactions. Below are some common causes. Both eyelids drooping: 1 Medical problem, such as myasthenia gravis. 2 Migraine headaches. <P> Serious Conditions. In some cases, eyelid drooping is caused by more serious conditions, such as a stroke, brain tumor, or cancer of the nerves or muscles. Neurological disorders that affect the nerves or muscles of the eyes such as myasthenia gravis can also lead to ptosis. <P> Eyelid drooping is excess sagging of the upper eylid. The edge of the upper eyelid may be lower than it should be (ptosis) or there may be excess baggy skin in the upper eyelid (dermatochalasis). Eyelid drooping is often a combination of both conditions. The problem is also called ptosis. <P> Drooping is the result of reduced muscle tone in the muscles that control the eyelids. If your lower eyelids droop outward, away from the eye (ectropion), they may no longer be able to protect your eyes, and your eyes may become dry and irritated. <P> A drooping or sagging of the eyelid is medically known as ptosis or blepharoptosis. Drooping eyelids may occur on both sides (bilateral) or on one side only (unilateral), in which case it is more easily noticed.

<P> trait. A characteristic or condition that is determined by one's genes. The color of an animal's coat and the shape of a plant's leaves are physical traits. Nesting in birds and burrowing in rodents are examples of behavioral traits. - A stroke of a pen or pencil. <P> family traits are the ways in wich family members are alike. You may have your hair color as your mother or your eye color as your father. That mean that your hair and eye color ara family traits. You will pass your family traits to your own childrens.. That mean that they will be pass for generations. Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page. This page was last modified on 4 June 2006, at 18:28.This page has been accessed 44,484 times. <P> Heredity is the passing of phenotypic traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. In humans, eye color is an example of an inherited characteristic: an individual might inherit the brown-eye trait from one of the parents. Inherited traits are controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism's genome is called its genotype <P> Here are two pedigrees showing the same three generations of a family. A specific trait is shown as a solid black circle or square. The pedigree on the left is an example of a dominant trait in this family. The pedigree on the right depicts a recessive trait. In this genetics and genomics science project, you will create pedigrees for four human physical traits to determine which phenotypes are dominant and which are recessive. <P> A trait shared by members of a family.

Something that a family has in common, like a trait. The term family tendency is most often used in drug addiction or negative things but its usage can be more liberal than that. Unfortunately, my family's tendency is toward fat thighs, but I guess that's better than alcoholism. <P> A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism. Traits can be determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them. The genetic contribution to a trait is called the genotype. The outward expression of the genotype is called the phenotype.

what is a poem explication poem
|
<P> All of the following can be part of a written explication, depending on the poem. Let the poem dictate to you. The extra dimension of poetry is in its insistence that meaning cannot be divorced from form. The purpose of an explication is to show, for an individual poem, how this is true. Therefore an explication is a discussion of the art and craft of language. <P> Poetry explication is a detailed analysis of the given poem. A classic poetry explication consists of the theme, meaning of the poem, images, symbols, rhyme, plot, conflicts, and many other smaller units that form a poem. Poetry is defined as The interpretive dramatization of experience in metrical language. There are various aspects of studying poetry. <P> Preparing to write the explication. 1 Read the poem silently, then read it aloud (if not in a testing situation). 2 Repeat as necessary. 3 Consider the poem as a dramatic situation in which a speaker addresses an audience or another character. <P> A poetry explication is a relatively short analysis which describes the possible meanings and relationships of the words, images, and other small units that make up a poem. Writing an explication is an effective way for a reader to connect a poem’s plot and conflicts with its structural features. This handout reviews some of the important techniques of approaching and writing a poetry explication, and includes parts of two sample explications. <P> The following offers an example of how to explicate a poem. You should note that explication, much like a standard argument paper, needs a specific thesis with a limited focus. In poetry explication, we may choose to discuss the tone, the narrative or action, rhetorical devices, characterization, structure, etc.

<P> Gradient of a Straight Line. The gradient of a straight line is the rate at which the line rises (or falls) vertically for every unit across to the right. <P> (3). in Cartesian coordinates. The direction of is the orientation in which the directional derivative has the largest value and is the value of that directional derivative. Furthermore, if, then the gradient is perpendicular to the level curve through if and perpendicular to the level surface through if. In tensor notation, let. (4). <P> Examples of Slope / Gradient. (1) Find the slope of the line between the points (1,2) and (3,6) . (2) Find the slope of the line 3y = 2x + 1. This equation is not in slope intercept form, so we divide by three to find our m value. Gradient in Geometry. In geometry, given a line that makes an angle θ with the x-axis, the slope m is defined as. In geometry, the gradients of a lines can be used to determine their relationship i.e. whether the lines are parallel to each other or perpendicular. For example: Given two lines with slopes m1 and m2. <P> 1.1 The degree of a slope: the path becomes very rough as the gradient increases. More example sentences. Synonyms. 1 The lower 150m section has a gentle gradient of 12 degrees providing an ample and safe area to test out those first turns. 2 Therefore if Cross-rail precedes electrification, then diesel units would be used for cross-city services which would easily negotiate the gradients and angles. Example sentences. 1 The abrupt changes in gradient visible in the graph are caused when the number of relevant genetic backgrounds i max changes from one integer value to the next. 2 Differentiation is a method of working out the gradient of a curve-how quickly one variable changes with respect to another. <P> 1 there exists a vector, such that for each direction u at P. 2 the vector is given by, This vector is called the gradient at P of the scalar field f. 3 Another notational form of is grad f. 4 The directional derivative in any given direction is the scalar component of in that direction. Gradients. Let f (x, y, z) be a three-variable function defined throughout a region of three dimensional space, that is, a scalar field and let P be a point in this region. Say we move away from point P in a specified direction that is not necessarily along one of the three axes. <P> 3. what is the difference between gradient and divergence. I understood that gradient is points in the direction of steepest ascent and the divergence is measures source strength. I couldn't able to related this concept with divergence concept in image processing. <P> Slope / Gradient. The concept of slope is used in various sections of mathematics and worked with quite often when solving and graphing linear equations. The slope or degree of slant of a line is defined as the degree of steepness or incline of the line. Gradient in Geometry. In geometry, given a line that makes an angle θ with the x-axis, the slope m is defined as. In geometry, the gradients of a lines can be used to determine their relationship i.e. whether the lines are parallel to each other or perpendicular. For example: Given two lines with slopes m1 and m2. <P> gradient. The rate of inclination to horizontal expressed as a ratio, such as 1:25, indicating a one unit rise to 25 units of horizontal distance. grade-the gradient of a slope or road or other surface; the road had a steep grade. rake, slant, pitch-degree of deviation from a horizontal plane; the roof had a steep pitch. precipitousness, steepness, abruptness-the property possessed by a slope that is very steep. <P> Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x)=-12x+2 to f(x)=12x+2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

what is tooth decay
|
<P> Tooth decay is a process by which the tooth breaks down. There are a number of reasons for tooth decay including a poor diet high in sugars and acid, inadequate personal oral hygiene, genetics, and other factors. <P> Tooth decay is a process created by the bacteria that live in our mouths. The bacteria use the food that passes through our mouths to create a sticky substance called plaque. The plaque, which is full of bacteria, releases acid onto the teeth. The acid then starts to break down the outer layer of the tooth, the enamel. <P> Tooth decay is the destruction of the outer surface, or enamel, of a tooth. It is caused by acid buildup from plaque bacteria, which dissolves the minerals in the enamel and creates cavities. <P> Dental caries or cavities, more commonly known as tooth decay, are caused by a breakdown of the tooth enamel. This breakdown is the result of bacteria on teeth that breakdown foods and produce acid that destroys tooth enamel and results in tooth decay. <P> Decay. Tooth decay is the destruction of your tooth enamel, the hard, outer layer of your teeth. It can be a problem for children, teens and adults. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, constantly forms on your teeth. When you eat or drink foods containing sugars, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack tooth enamel. <P> Definition. Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth. Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth. <P> Tooth decay is also called dental caries. It’s a disease that causes damage to tooth structure. If bits of food are left on the teeth after a drink or meal, the germs in your mouth (called plaque) can turn those tiny bits of food into acid.

how long does a woman ovulate for
|
<P> The day of ovulation differs from woman to woman and can even be different from month to month for an individual woman. For a woman with a 28 day cycle, the window of ovulation is day 11 through day 21 of your cycle. Ovulation could occur on any one day during this window. <P> On the average, a woman will ovulate for about one day each month during her menstrual cycle. For some women, this may be slightly shorter or longer, but the average amount of time that you will ovulate will be right around one day. <P> Also it's based on a 28 day cycle. The person with the 28 day cycle will ovulate at the beginning of the five days, a 30 day cycle, in the middle etc....The first thing you need to know is how long your cycle is and first day to first day doesn't mean you count the first day twice. <P> Every women is different and when you ovulate depends on how long your cycle is and if you are regular. But in general, if you have a 28 day cycle you would ovulate on or around day 14. To be safe, most trying to conceive guidelines will use day 10-20 as your fertile window. (Day 1 being the first day of your period). <P> On average, a woman’s cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter or much longer cycles. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. <P> sperm can live up to 5 days, not 3. a human egg is only viable for 12 to 24 hours, you can get pregnant anytime from about five days prior to ovulation to even occasionally two days after, for a total of about seven days. <P> Ovulation usually takes place roughly 14 days after the first day of the start of a period; however, the exact timing can vary greatly from woman to woman. While the timing of ovulation can vary greatly from one woman to another, the duration of ovulation itself is pretty consistent.

andrew johnson became president dates
|
<P> The U.S. House of Representatives votes 11 articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson, nine of which cite Johnson’s removal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, a violation of the Tenure of Office Act. The House vote made President Johnson the first president to be impeached in U.S. history. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Andrew Johnson, a senator from Tennessee, was the only U.S. senator from a seceding state who remained loyal to the Union. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee, and in 1864 he was elected vice president of the United States. <P> After Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, Tennessee seceded from the Union. Andrew Johnson broke with his home state and became the only Southern senator to retain his seat in the U.S. Senate. He was vilified in the South. His property was confiscated, and his wife and two daughters were driven out of Tennessee. Andrew Johnson was born in a log cabin in Raleigh, North Carolina, on December 29, 1808. His father, Jacob Johnson, died when Andrew was 3, leaving the family in poverty. His mother, Mary Polly McDonough Johnson, worked as a seamstress to make ends meet. <P> Introduction. Andrew Johnson (1808-1875), the 17th U.S. president, assumed office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865). Johnson, who served from 1865 to 1869, was the first American president to be impeached. A tailor before he entered politics, Johnson grew up poor and lacked a formal education. Johnson Enters Politics in Tennessee. Johnson’s political career began in 1829, when he was elected alderman in Greeneville. That same year, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), a fellow Democrat and Tennessean, became the seventh U.S. president. Like Jackson, Johnson considered himself as a champion of the common man. <P> With the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson became the 17th President of the United States (1865-1869), an old-fashioned southern Jacksonian Democrat of pronounced states' rights views. He was tried by the Senate in the spring of 1868 and acquitted by one vote. In 1875, Tennessee returned Johnson to the Senate. He died a few months later. The Presidential biographies on WhiteHouse.gov are from “The Presidents of the United States of America,” by Frank Freidel and Hugh Sidey. <P> Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 – July 31, 1875) was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded. After brief service in the Tennessee Senate, Johnson was elected to the federal House of Representatives in 1843, where he served five two-year terms. He became Governor of Tennessee for four years, and was elected by the legislature to the Senate in 1857. <P> Andrew Johnson was chosen to be Abraham Lincoln's running mate for the President's reelection bid in 1864 for political reasons. Johnson, a Southerner, belonged to the Democratic-Union Party, and was the only senator from a seceding state to remain in congress. <P> Bill Clinton. George W. Bush. Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth President of the United States (1865-69), was the first Vice President to take over the presidency because of an assassination. He was also the first President to be impeached by the Congress. In the Senate trial he held onto the presidency by a margin of only a single vote. They won. A little over a month later, on April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Andrew Johnson became the seventeenth President of the united States. Being from a Southern state, Johnson quarreled with Congress on Reconstruction issues and the readmission of states into the Union after the Civil War. <P> 17th President of the United States. On the night of April 14, 1865, while spending an evening at Ford's Theater, in Washington, D.C., President Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, and he died the next morning. Johnson was also a target on that fateful night, but his would-be assassin failed to show up. Andrew Johnson was born in a log cabin in Raleigh, North Carolina, on December 29, 1808. His father, Jacob Johnson, died when Andrew was 3, leaving the family in poverty. His mother, Mary Polly McDonough Johnson, worked as a seamstress to make ends meet.

requirements to run for governor in arizona
|
<P> Running for governor is an audacious undertaking, though not everyone meets the minimum qualifications to run for this office. Since each state has its own constitution, the requirements and qualifications for running for gubernatorial office differ from state to state. However, the basic requirements can be broken down into age requirements, residency requirements and other considerations. Age Requirements. Though every state has its own minimum age for the office of governor, most use the age of 30 as the minimum age required to run for office. The age requirement is written into each state's constitution and can be changed by the legislative branch only <P> ARIZONA Your complete directory of Arizona candidates for Governor, State Cabinet, United State Senator and Congress in the current election cycle ... state political parties ... the official state election office ... and state news sources. <P> Like the age requirement, the residency requirement is different from state to state. In Florida, for example, a person must be a resident of the state for at least seven years in order to run for gubernatorial office. However, Texas requires that a person be a resident for five years before running for office. Age Requirements. Though every state has its own minimum age for the office of governor, most use the age of 30 as the minimum age required to run for office. The age requirement is written into each state's constitution and can be changed by the legislative branch only <P> The current governor of Arizona is Jan Brewer (Janice K. Brewer-R). Brewer was Arizona Secretary of State and succeeded to the governorship in 2009 when Governor Janet Napol … itano resigned to become US Secretary of Homeland Security. Her current full term will run from January 5, 2011 to January 5, 2015. Arizona is one of only a handful of US states that does not elect a lieutenant governor, as such an office is not specified in the state's constitution. The … first in line to succeed the governor is the Arizona secretary of state. There is no such position in Arizona government. <P> Minimum Residency. If you want to be governor of Oklahoma, Missouri or the North Mariana Islands, let's hope you already live there. According to the CSG, you have to be a resident for 10 years before you can run for office. To be governor in Arizona, Kansas or Tennessee, you can live anywhere you want. Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin have residency requirements, but they didn't supply specific information for the CSG's 2012 report. Both states require the governor to be a U.S. citizen for at least 20 years. About two-thirds of the states and territories have a citizenship qualification. The most common requirement is five years and the average is eight years. In Rhode Island, it's 30 days <P> The current governor of Arizona is Jan Brewer (Janice K. Brewer-R). Brewer was Arizona Secretary of State and succeeded to the governorship in 2009 when Governor Janet Napol … itano resigned to become US Secretary of Homeland Security. Her current full term will run from January 5, 2011 to January 5, 2015. The qualifications for governor vary from state to state as specified in each state's constitution. In general most states require that a candidate hold U.S. citizenship, be o … f a certain age, and be a resident or registered voter of the state for a certain number of years prior to the election.

what bond holds the backbone of dna together
|
<P> A phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds. Phosphodiester bonds are central to all life on Earth, as they make up the backbone of the strands of nucleic acid. In DNA and RNA, the phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. Strong covalent bonds form between the phosphate group and two 5-carbon ring carbohydrates (pentoses) over two ester bonds. <P> Exploring a DNA chain The sugars in the backbone The backbone of DNA is based on a repeated pattern of a sugar group and a phosphate group. The full name of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, gives you the name of the sugar present-deoxyribose. Deoxyribose is a modified form of another sugar called ribose. <P> 1. The DNA double helix is held together by two types of bonds, covalent andhydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond thebases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and betweencomponents). <P> In double-stranded DNA, the molecular double-helix shape is formed by two linear sugar-phosphate backbones that run opposite each other and twist together in a helical shape. The sugar-phosphate backbone is negatively charged and hydrophilic, which allows the DNA backbone to form bonds with water. A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. <P> DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a polynucleotide.. Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group. The DNA backbone is a polymer with an alternating sugar-phosphate sequence. The deoxyribose sugars are joined at both the 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-hydroxyl groups to phosphate groups in ester links, also known as phosphodiester bonds. <P> What bond hold the backbone of DNA together (sugar-phosphate)? Hydrogen bonds hold the base pairs, but I don't know the outside of the double helix. <P> See Fig. 1. The nucleotides within each strand are held together by the phosphodiester bonds between the 5' carbon of one nucleotide and the 3 ' carbon of the adjacent nucleotdie. These strong covalent bonds form the the glue that holds the sugar/phosphate backbone together and thus act to keep each strand together. The two strands of DNA are held together by weak hydrogen bonds (remember, something must hold them together!) between the nitrogenous bases. The interesting (and very important) aspect of the Watson-Crick model is that these hydrogen bonds are base specific. James Watson and Francis Crick proposed a structure for the DNA molecule that suggested the basic mechanism of DNA replication. The model proposes that DNA is composed of two strands of DNA running anti-parallel (remember the 5' and 3' ends!!) to each other. <P> Image courtesy of the National Human Genome Research Institution. The sugar and phosphate group make up the backbone of the DNA double helix, while the bases are located in the middle. A chemical bond between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of a neighboring nucleotide holds the backbone together. Chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds) between the bases that are across from one another hold the two strands of the double helix together. Bases. <P> The bases give DNA their variety. The bases are the rungs in the double helix ladders and the … handlesof the double helix are composed of deoxyribose sugar and phosphate. Hydrogen bonds hold all of these components together.. (This answer was copy and pasted from another answer.).

what are the three parts of an RNA nucleotide
|
<P> There are different types of RNA, such as rRNA, mRNA, tRNA, but the nucleotide is the same as DNA except it has ribose has the sugar instead of deoxyribose (hence the name of the nucleic acids. I haven taken AP BIO. I got a 5 on the AP exam, and 99 average. My SAT BIO was a perfect 800. RNA consists of a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate The base have four units Uracil, Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine (Adenine and guanine are purines, cytosine and uracil are pyrimidines) better check Wikipedia or biology books for more information. HeLmI 89 · 7 years ago. <P> A nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogenous base. In RNA the sugar is ribose, in DNA it is deoxyribose. DNA contains the bases A, T, C and G. RNA contains … the bases A, U, C and G. 1 person found this useful. These three parts are nitrogenous bases, pentose sugars, and phosphate groups. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. <P> Here's the answer for both DNA and RNA. Answer: Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are made up of nucleotides which consist of three parts: 1 Nitrogenous Base. 2 Purines and pyrimidines are the two categories of nitrogenous bases. 3 Pentose Sugar. 4 In DNA, the sugar is 2'-deoxyribose. 5 Phosphate Group. 6 A single phosphate group is PO 4 3- <P> The structure of nucleotide monomers. A nucleotide is made of a nucleobase (also termed a nitrogenous base), a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2-deoxyribose) depending on if it is DNA or RNA, and one or, depending on the definition, more than one phosphate groups. Without the phosphate group, the nucleobase and sugar compose a nucleoside. The phosphate groups form bonds with either the 2, 3, or 5-carbon of the sugar, with the 5-carbon site most common. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. <P> Nucleotides are the building blocks of the DNA and RNA used as genetic material. Nucleotides also are used for cell signaling and to transport energy throughout cells. You may be asked to name the three parts of a nucleotide and explain how they are connected or bonded to each other. Answer: Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are made up of nucleotides which consist of three parts: 1 Nitrogenous Base. 2 Purines and pyrimidines are the two categories of nitrogenous bases. <P> This nucleotide contains the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose, a nitrogenous base called adenine, and one phosphate group. Together, the deoxyribose and adenine make up a nucleoside (specifically, a deoxyribonucleoside) called deoxyadenosine. Without the phosphate group, the nucleobase and sugar compose a nucleoside. The phosphate groups form bonds with either the 2, 3, or 5-carbon of the sugar, with the 5-carbon site most common. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. <P> Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group. Without the phosphate group, the nucleobase and sugar compose a nucleoside. The phosphate groups form bonds with either the 2, 3, or 5-carbon of the sugar, with the 5-carbon site most common. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. <P> The molecular unit from which DNA and RNA are made. In DNA, a nucleotide consists of a 'base' [adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) or thymine (T)] linked to the sugar deoxyribose and a phosphate group. Many nucleotide units joined together via their sugar-phosphate groups make up a DNA molecule. In RNA, the sugar is ribose and the base thymine is replaced by uracil (U). The sequence of a DNA or RNA molecule is usually described as the sequence of its bases, eg AAAAGTTCGTCTAGGTC. Something like the three parts that make up DNA is Phosphate, Deoxyribose Sugar, and Nitrogen Base. I am not looking for the three types of RNA that help build proteins. Thanks in advanced!!!! P.S. if there is no such answer please tell me

<P> Rivers: Major rivers of North America. Rocky Mountains: The Rocky Mountains, about 3,000 miles in length, extend from the U.S State of New Mexico up through the western United States and on into the northernmost reaches of Canada's British Columbia. <P> The Ozarks, also referred to as the Ozark Mountains, Ozarks Mountain Country, and the Ozark Plateau, are a physiographic and geologic highland region of the central United States. It covers much of the southern half of Missouri and an extensive portion of northwestern and north central Arkansas. For example, the ecoregion called Ozark Mountain Forests includes the Ouachita Mountains, although the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachitas, both south of the Boston Mountains, are not usually considered part of the Ozarks. <P> Ozark Plateau. The Ozarks and Ouachitas are two distinct mountain ranges separated from each other by the Arkansas River Valley. The Ozarks occupy most of southern Missouri and extend into northern Arkansas. They consist of three dissected plateaus covered with oak-dominated forest with glade and savannah inclusions. <P> The central Ozarks is lower than the southern and western rimlands, but elevations in the St. Francois Mountains generally exceed 1,600 feet and the highest elevation in Missouri (1,778 feet) is the summit of Taum Sauk Mountain in Iron County. The Ozarks has the general shape of a parallelogram. The region is part of the Interior Highlands Province, which includes the tightly folded and strongly faulted rocks of the Arkansas Valley and Ouachita Mountains. <P> Mountains. The state's two mountain ranges, the Ozark Mountains and the Ouachita Mountains, are the only significant highland region between the Appalachians and the Rockies. The Ozark Mountains, also called the Ozark Plateau, usurp the northwestern corner of the state and extend into southern Missouri. <P> The Boston Mountains portion of the Ozarks extends north of the Arkansas River Valley 20 to 35 miles (32 to 56 km) and is approximately 200 miles (320 km) and are bordered by the Springfield and Salem Plateau to the north of the White River. For example, the ecoregion called Ozark Mountain Forests includes the Ouachita Mountains, although the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachitas, both south of the Boston Mountains, are not usually considered part of the Ozarks. <P> Portions of the Ozark Plateau, the Springfield plateau of southwest Missouri and northern Arkansas, are underlain by Mississippian cherty limestones locally referred to as Boone chert consisting of limestone and chert layers. These are eroded and form steep hills, valleys and bluffs. For example, the ecoregion called Ozark Mountain Forests includes the Ouachita Mountains, although the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachitas, both south of the Boston Mountains, are not usually considered part of the Ozarks. <P> 1 the Missouri portion of the Ozark Plateau (areas 14a and 14b) which lies between the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and the Central lowland. The elevation in the extreme northwestern Missouri is about 1,200 ft (370 m). and in the extreme northeastern portion about 500 ft (150 m)., while the rim of the region to the southeast, along the border of the Ozark region, has an elevation of about 900 ft (270 m). <P> Ozark Plateau—Introduction. Download fact sheet on the rocks and minerals of the Ozark Plateau. The Ozark Plateau, as its name suggests, is part of the Ozarks of Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Bounded by the Spring River on the west, this corner of southeastern Kansas covers about 55 square miles and includes the towns of Baxter Springs and Galena. <P> Arkansas Geography. The topography of Arkansas varies rather dramatically from northwest to southeast. The Ozark Plateau stretches across parts of Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma, and on into Arkansas. This area of low mountains, hills and deep valleys is heavily forested and etched by many small rivers and streams. South of the Ozarks, the Arkansas River and its namesake valley cut a dramatic path across the state. This valley gives way to the Ouachita Mountains, where Magazine Mountain, the state's highest point is located.

<P> Limestone has many uses. It is commonly known as a building material, but can also produce other substances such as glass, cement, and lime. Also when powdered, limestone can … be used as a base to neutralize acid rain in lakes as well as acidic soils. 3 people found this useful. Sandstone is used as a building stone and it is used as an indicator of erosional and depositional processes by geologists. And, limestone are used as a soil conditioner, in t … he manufacture of glass, in agriculture and even in jewellery. <P> A rock known as tufa is a limestone formed by evaporation at a hot spring, lake shore, or other area. Limestone is by definition a rock that contains at least 50% calcium carbonate in the form of calcite by weight. All limestones contain at least a few percent other materials. These can be small particles of quartz, feldspar, clay minerals, pyrite, siderite and other minerals. It most commonly forms in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. It is usually an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal and fecal debris. It can also be a chemical sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from lake or ocean water. <P> Uses of limestone. Limestone, quicklime and slaked lime are all used to neutralise excess acidity-which may be caused by acid rain-in lakes and in soils. Limestone is used as a building material, and to purify iron in blast furnaces. It's also used in the manufacture of glass, and of cement (one of the components of concrete) <P> In addition, limestone is used as an additive to paint and other products, and a source of calcium carbonate which is used in a great deal of products including antacids. Cooked limestone is used to make Portland cement, the key ingredient in mortars, cements, and concrete. Sandstone is used as a building stone and it is used as an indicator of erosional and depositional processes by geologists. And, limestone are used as a soil conditioner, in t … he manufacture of glass, in agriculture and even in jewellery. <P> Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) in the form of the mineral calcite. It most commonly forms in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. It is usually an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal and fecal debris. It can also be a chemical sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from lake or ocean water. <P> Like most other sedimentary rocks, most limestone is composed of grains. Most grains in limestone are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Other carbonate grains comprising limestones are ooids, peloids, intraclasts, and extraclasts. 1 It is the raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar. 2 Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soils. 3 It is crushed for use as aggregate —the solid base for many roads as well as in asphalt concrete. <P> Limestone, as used by the minerals industry, is any rock composed mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). Although limestone is common in many parts of the United States, it is critically absent from some. <P> Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). 1 It is the raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar. 2 Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soils. 3 It is crushed for use as aggregate —the solid base for many roads as well as in asphalt concrete. <P> Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed during the sedimentation process within lake floors, oceans and caves. This rock is composed of the minerals aragonite and calcites, which are the calcium carbonate’s crystal forms. A high calcium limestone has a mass of 95% of calcium carbonate.

important functions of vitamins
|
<P> The body needs water-soluble vitamins in frequent, small doses. These vitamins are not as likely as fat-soluble vitamins to reach toxic levels. But niacin, vitamin B6, folate, choline, and vitamin C have upper consumption limits. The tables below list the vitamins, what they do in the body (their functions), and their sources in food. <P> Fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's cells and are not excreted as easily as water-soluble vitamins. They do not need to be consumed as often as water-soluble vitamins, although adequate amounts are needed. The tables below list the vitamins, what they do in the body (their functions), and their sources in food. <P> The Seven Most Important Functions of Vitamin B12. Many people receive vitamin B12 injections on a regular basis to provide a boost in their energy levels. While it’s true that B12 does support energy, that’s not the entire picture. Here’s 7 functions of vitamin B12 and why you need this crucial nutrient. <P> By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. Vitamin A is required for several vital functions in the body. Some of the most important functions of Vitamin A are described below. Vitamin A in the form of retinoic acid is essential for gene transcription. Retinol is taken up by the cell where it is oxidized to retinaldehyde (by retinol dehydrogenases), which is then oxidized to give retinoic acid. <P> Your body does not store water-soluble vitamins -- B vitamins and vitamin C -- because they dissolve in bodily fluids. Eating a variety of healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, each day helps prevent deficiencies. Fat-soluble vitamins, which include A, D, E and K, circulate in your blood. <P> Vitamins are a group of substances that are essential for normal cell function, growth, and development. There are 13 essential vitamins, meaning they are needed for the body to function. 1 Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin. 2 Vitamin B6 is also called pyridoxine. 3 Vitamin B6 helps form red blood cells and maintain brain function. 4 This vitamin also plays an important role in the proteins that are part of many chemical reactions in the body. <P> There are two types of vitamins: water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins include vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, vitamin C, biotin and folate. They are not stored in large amounts in the body, and any extra is lost through your urine. Fat soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K and they can be stored in your body. High amounts of fat soluble vitamins are not recommended, as these can cause health problems. <P> Vitamin A is a group of unsaturated nutritional organic compounds, that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids, and beta-carotene. Vitamin A has multiple functions: it is important for growth and development, for the maintenance of the immune system and good vision. Vitamin A can be found in two principal forms in foods 1 : Retinol, the form of vitamin A absorbed when eating animal food sources, is a yellow, fat-soluble substance. 2 Since the pure alcohol form is unstable, the vitamin is found in tissues in a form of retinyl ester. <P> Vitamins are classified as fat-soluble or water-soluble, referring to where they are stored in the body. Fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E and K and are stored for up to six months in your various fat stores. <P> If you take too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it could become toxic. Your body is especially sensitive to too much vitamin A from animal sources (retinol) and too much vitamin D. A balanced diet usually provides enough fat-soluble vitamins. The tables below list the vitamins, what they do in the body (their functions), and their sources in food.

average weight of a domestic rabbit
|
<P> Best Answer: It really all depends on what type you get. You can get a dwarf breed which are pretty small generally around 2.5lbs. A small breed which is generally around 3.5-4lbs. A medium breed which is anywhere from 5-7lbs. A large breed which is around 7-10lbs or a giant breed which is 10+lbs. A lot of people like the dwarf/small breeds because they are easy keepers. <P> A domestic rabbit or domesticated rabbit, more commonly known as simply a rabbit, is any of several varieties of the European rabbit species that have been domesticated. Domestic rabbits have been used as sources of food, fur, and wool, as research subjects, and as pets. These breeds have efficient metabolisms and grow quickly; they are ready for slaughter by approximately 14 to 16 weeks of age. Rabbit fryers are rabbits that are between 70 to 90 days of age, and weighing between 3 to 5 lb (1 to 2 kg) live weight. Rabbit roasters are rabbits from 90 days to 6 months of age weighing between 5 to 8 lb (2 to 3.5 kg) live weight. Rabbit stewers are rabbits from 6 months on weighing over 8 lb. Any type of rabbit can be slaughtered for meat, but those exhibiting the commercial body type are most commonly raised for meat purpose <P> Rabbits come in many different sizes, from dwarf to giant. How much a rabbit weighs depends on its species and breed. A healthy pet rabbit could weigh under 2 kg, or more than … 10kg. A vet with experience and knowledge in rabbit care and behaviour could tell you the healthy weight for you rabbit. 1 The largest rabbit is 50 pounds, 4 feet 3 inches long, and insured for $1.6M. (See Link). 2 Domestic rabbits raised for slaughter (fryers) reach market weight at 4.5 to 5 pounds. <P> They can be up to 30 lbs for a really fat one. The average weight of a rabbit varies by breed and living conditions. They are usually anywhere between two and six pounds, although some rare rabbits can weigh much more. 1 The largest rabbit is 50 pounds, 4 feet 3 inches long, and insured for $1.6M. (See Link). 2 Domestic rabbits raised for slaughter (fryers) reach market weight at 4.5 to 5 pounds. <P> The Dutch rabbit is always white with the addition of another base color. They are one of the most popular rabbits kept as pets today. The average adult Dutch Rabbit will weigh between 4 to 5 pounds and on average will live 5 to 8 years Longer life spans can be expected if the animals are neutered or spayed. The longest life span that has been reported is 15 years with 10 years not all that uncommon. <P> The average lifespan of a pet rabbit is about 5-7 years but a healthy rabbit will live for more than that. What is the weight of an average cottontail rabbit? Weight can range from 800 to 2,000 g (1.8 to 4.4 lb), with an average of around 1,200 g (2.6 lb). <P> This is a difficult question because every rabbit is an individual. Weight varies between rabbits, even those of the same breed, so it is important you compare your rabbit to his normal weight not a breed average. For example, the BRC Breed Standards state that a Dwarf Lop should weigh between 1.93kg and 2.381kg. It's much easier to adjust your rabbits diet at the first sign of weight gain than once your rabbit is already noticeably fat. You can weigh your rabbit on normal kitchen or bathroom scales. If your rabbit won't sit still, weigh your rabbit in a carrier, and then deduct the weight of the empty carrier. <P> Standard rabbits have a wider range of sizes, depending on the breed, but commonly average from 7 to 8 pounds. And then there's breeds like the Flemish Giant, which can weigh anywhere from 14 to a whopping 22 pounds. 1 The largest rabbit is 50 pounds, 4 feet 3 inches long, and insured for $1.6M. (See Link). 2 Domestic rabbits raised for slaughter (fryers) reach market weight at 4.5 to 5 pounds.

where is poppy grown
|
<P> The poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) is an ancient flowering plant, long desired by gardeners in a range of landscape situations. Learning how to grow poppies allows you to use their beauty in many flower beds and gardens. Planting poppies is simple and rewarding when their single and double blooms appear in cooler seasons. How to Grow Poppies. Poppy plant care involves the deadheading of spent flowers, resulting in more prolific blooms of the poppy plant. Poppy flowers need limited watering once they have settled into their location. Too much water can result in tall, leggy, unattractive growth of the growing poppy flower. <P> The best time of the year to grow Opium is in the Spring or Fall. They are very tough plants so they can’t survive the harsh weather of Winter if planted in the Fall. The Opium poppy can grow to around one meter tall and blooms and flowers after ninety days of growth. By:Kenneth. The Opium poppy can be grown in a wide variety of places and locations. It is a plant the grows annually which means it grows back every year. <P> While it's a good idea to remove weeds competing with your poppies as you see them, young poppy plants are small and easily pulled up by accident or mistaken for undesirable plants. Reduce the ability of weeds to grow in the first place by spreading two to three inches (6 to 8 cm) of organic mulch around the plants. Poppies are tough plants that can thrive in any well-draining soil, although these tips will teach you how to grow them to encourage a healthy, blooming flowerbed. Once you have flowering poppies, you will likely have enough seeds to plant new poppies year after year. <P> Poppies are easy to grow. There are annuals and perennials in a wide range of bright, and attractive colors. Once called the common cornfield weed, this beautiful flower is no weed. Poppies were originally found in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, China, India, and other regions of Asia. In many areas, it is a common wildflower. Poppy plants grow 12 to 24. <P> A poppy is a flowering plant in the subfamily Papaveroideae of the family Papaveraceae. Poppies are herbaceous plants, often grown for their colorful flowers. Bees use poppies as a pollen source. The pollen of the oriental poppy, Papaver orientale, is dark blue, that of the field or corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is grey to dark green. The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is mainly grown in eastern and southern Asia, and South Eastern Europe. <P> The legality of growing opium poppies (whose seeds are sold under many names, including the breadseed poppy, Papaver paeoniflorum, and, most significantly, Papaver somniferum) is a tangled issue, turning on questions of nomenclature and epistemology that it took me the better part of the summer to sort out. <P> Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy, is the species of plant from which opium and poppy seeds are derived. Opium is the source of many drugs, including morphine (and its derivative heroin), thebaine, codeine, papaverine, and noscapine. Papaver somniferum is an annual herb growing to 100 cm. All parts of the plant are strongly glaucous, giving a greyish-green appearance, and the stem and leaves are sparsely covered with coarse hairs. <P> A mulch such as bark chips will look attractive, and will keep the soil moist. 3. Cut out excess poppy plants once they've started to grow. Once the plants are one or two inches tall (2.5–5 cm), cut the smaller or weaker plants at the base using garden shears. Keep each remaining plant at least 6 inches (15cm) apart for the best chance at healthy growth and flowering. Poppies are tough plants that can thrive in any well-draining soil, although these tips will teach you how to grow them to encourage a healthy, blooming flowerbed. Once you have flowering poppies, you will likely have enough seeds to plant new poppies year after year. <P> A Guide to Growing Hydroponic Poppies. The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, has been cultivated by humans since prehistoric times. Today P. somniferum grows in gardens and wilds across much of the world, including the US and Europe; there is hardly a supermarket in world that does not sell its seeds. <P> The opium poppy is the only species of Papaveraceae that is an agricultural crop grown on a large scale. Other species, Papaver rhoeas and Papaver argemone, are important agricultural weeds, and may be mistaken for the crop. Papaver somniferum is an annual herb growing to 100 cm. All parts of the plant are strongly glaucous, giving a greyish-green appearance, and the stem and leaves are sparsely covered with coarse hairs.

what characterizes an electrolytic cell
|
<P> In ELECTROLYTIC CELL,electric current is used to derive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.Down`s cell and nelson cell are electrolytic cell. In GALVANIC CELL,electri … c current is produced as a result of spontaneous redox reaction.Daniel cell and fuel cell r galvanic or voltaic cell. <P> The cathode of a galvanic cell is its positive terminal. In both galvanic and electrolytic cells, oxidation takes place at the anode and electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. Galvanic or Voltaic Cells. The redox reaction in a galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction. Oxidation occurs at the electrode termed the anode and reduction occurs at the electrode called the cathode. Electrodes & Charge. The anode of an electrolytic cell is positive (cathode is negative), since the anode attracts anions from the solution. However, the anode of a galvanic cell is negatively charged, since the spontaneous oxidation at the anode is the source of the cell's electrons or negative charge <P> An electrolytic cell has three component parts: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a cathode and an anode). The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved. Molten salts such as sodium chloride are also electrolytes. A rechargeable battery, such as a AA NiMH cell or a single cell of a lead-acid battery, acts as a galvanic cell when discharging (converting chemical energy to electrical energy), and an electrolytic cell when being charged (converting electrical energy to chemical energy). <P> An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that undergoes a redox reaction when electrical energy is applied. It is most often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis —the Greek word lysis means to break up. When electrical energy is added to the system, the chemical energy is increased. Similarly to a galvanic cell, electrolytic cells usually consist of two half cells. A rechargeable battery, such as a AA NiMH cell or a single cell of a lead-acid battery, acts as a galvanic cell when discharging (converting chemical energy to electrical energy), and an electrolytic cell when being charged (converting electrical energy to chemical energy). <P> 1 The cathode is the electrode where reduction (gain of electrons) takes place; in a galvanic cell, it is the positive electrode, as less oxidation occurs, fewer ions go into solution, and less electrons are left on the electrode. By definition: 1 The anode is the electrode where oxidation (loss of electrons) takes place; in a galvanic cell, it is the negative electrode, as when oxidation occurs, electrons are left behind on the electrode. 2 These electrons then migrate to the cathode (positive electrode). <P> In Chemical Energy. In ELECTROLYTIC CELL,electric current is used to derive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.Down`s cell and nelson cell are electrolytic cell. In GALVANIC CELL,electri … c current is produced as a result of spontaneous redox reaction.Daniel cell and fuel cell r galvanic or voltaic cell. Answered. <P> The anode will definitely gain weight in a voltaic cell. Oxidation occurs at the cathode of both cells. The free energy change, δ G, is negative for the voltaic cell. The electrons in the external wire flow from cathode to anode in an electrolytic cell. None of the above statements is correct <P> Voltaic cells use a spontaneous chemical reaction to drive an electric current through an external circuit. These cells are important because they are the basis for the batteries that fuel modern society. But they aren't the only kind of electrochemical cell. It is also possible to construct a cell that does work on a chemical system by driving an electric current through the system. These cells are called electrolytic cells. Electrolysis is used to drive an oxidation-reduction reaction in a direction in which it does not occur spontaneously.

User Contributions / Comments: Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. It is the process of transcribing or making a copy of genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a complementary strand of RNA (messenger RNA or mRNA) with the aid of RNA polymerases. <P> Transcription is the process by which genetic information from DNA is trans ferred into RNA. DNA sequence is enzymatically copied by RNA polymerase to produce a complement ary nucleotide RNA strand. Transcription and Translation. Transcription of RNA from DNA. One of the central concepts of biology is that RNA is trans cribed from DNA in a process called transcription. There are several types of RNA that can be trans cribed including mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. <P> This complex initiates transcription, and the RNA polymerase begins mRNA synthesis by matching complementary bases to the original DNA strand. The mRNA molecule is elongated and, once the strand is completely synthesized, transcription is terminated. Transcription factors can bind to specific DNA sequences called enhancer and promoter sequences in order to recruit RNA polymerase to an appropriate transcription site. Together, the transcription factors and RNA polymerase form a complex called the transcription initiation complex. <P> Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. In bacteria, transcription begins with the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter in DNA. RNA polymerase is a core enzyme consisting of five subunits: 2 α subunits, 1 β subunit, 1 β' subunit, and 1 ω subunit. <P> Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

To store ginger in a zipper storage bag, simply take the unpeeled ginger and place it in a zipper bag, taking care to push all of the air out of the bag. Place it in the veggie crisper in your fridge and have it stay crisp and fresh for several weeks. <P> Ginger is a delicious root, but the problem is that it's hard to use the ginger from one root at once, which leads to the problem of storing it. If you want your ginger to last a few weeks -- or even a few months -- then you need to know how to store ginger in the freezer and refrigerator. <P> Ginger juice will last for upto 1-2 days if stored in the refrigerator. After that there will be loss of nutrients from the juice. It is good to drink freshly made juice everytime. 1 Login to post comment. <P> Canning. Foods that have a pH above 4.6 require pressure canning for long-term preservation. Pressure canners cook food at up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for as long as needed to sterilize them; the canning time depends on the food's pH. To preserve ginger juice, pressure-can it at 10 to 15 psi for 1 hour and 25 minutes. <P> Either way, as long as the ginger is fresh, there should be no problem squeezing out enough juice. (Ginger should be stored, unpeeled, in the vegetable crisper section of the refrigerator-it will last for up to one week if stored in a paper bag, and for 3 - 4 weeks if stored in a plastic bag).

what is the function of the fibrous capsule
|
<P> The function of the fibrous capsule, which encases the various internal organs, is the same for each individual organ or pair of organs. In the case of the kidneys for example, this strong capsule is composed of connective tissue and tightly contains each of the body's two kidneys. The fibrous capsule offers support to the internal kidney tissue. As with each internal organ, the kidney performs a unique and totally indispensable function. <P> The glomerulus and bowmans capsule are part of the excretory system, and they are found in the nephron of a kidney. The function of the glomerulus and the bowman's capsule is … to filter the substances in the blood. The glomerulus is a tangle of capillaries which have little slits in them. Water, salts, glucose and urea pass through the slits into the bowmans capsule, which leads to kidney tubules. <P> The fibrous capsule is formed from dense irregular connective tissue. It is attached to the periosteum (layer) of the articulating bones. The functions of the fibrous capsule in synovial joints include: 1 Flexibility (of the fibrous capsule). 2 at the joint. 3 Tensile strength (collagen fibres in the capsule). 4 of <P> fibrous capsule, 1 the external layer of an articular capsule. It surrounds the articulation of two adjoining bones. 2 the external, tough membranous envelope surrounding some visceral organs, such as the liver. Compare synovial membrane. <P> The capsule is held together with ligaments (fibrous connective tissue) that help with the range of motion. The capsule contains synovial fluid, which is found in the cavities of highly mobile joints called synovial joints. This fluid circulates around the patella, tibia, and femur. <P> Save. The medical or veterinary term fibrous capsule refers to either an external layer which surrounds the articular capsule on a synovial join, or to the resilient, external membrane that envelopes certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys.

when is grant of probate not required
|
<P> For example, an application for Probate may be required when there is a dispute with respect to the provisions of the Will, or if an institution such as a bank or insurance company require that probate be obtained prior to releasing funds to the estate. The executor of a Will is the person entitled to apply to the Supreme Court for a grant of probate. The court will only issue the grant of probate when it is satisfied that the Will presented to the court is the last Will of the person that has died. <P> 1 A grant of probate is issued to the executor(s) named in the last valid will left by the deceased. 2 Letters of administration with the will annexed. ‘ 3 Letters of administration with the will annexed’ are issued where the deceased has left a valid will but the executor cannot, or will not, apply for a grant. The grant is proof that the person named in the grant (called a 'legal personal representative') is entitled to collect and distribute the estate of the deceased. There are three main types of grants: 1 Probate. 2 <P> If there was no will, the grant required is likely to be a grant of administration. There are many other grants that can be required in certain circumstances, and many have technical Latin names, but the general public is most likely to encounter grants of probate or administration. Probate is a legal document. Receipt of probate is the first step in the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property under a will. <P> We are frequently asked whether a grant of probate is always required after somebody’s death. Very small estates under £15,000 do not require a grant while those assets held in joint names (such as bank accounts or property) pass to the survivor on the Deceased persons death, meaning that no grant is required. The grant is a legal document which states the Deceased’s full name, as well as the Executors entrusted with the administration of the estate. The grant can then be presented to various financial institutions to collect the Deceased’s assets. <P> If you are named as an executor of a will you may need to apply for a grant of probate. A grant of probate is an official document which the executors may need to administer the estate. It is issued by a section of the court known as the probate registry. Often people just refer to probate even if there is no will. When a grant of representation is needed. A grant of representation is not always needed, for example, if the person who died: 1 has left less than £5,000 in total; or. <P> 1 Probate. 2 A grant of probate is issued to the executor(s) named in the last valid will left by the deceased. 3 Letters of administration with the will annexed. ‘ 4 Letters of administration with the will annexed’ are issued where the deceased has left a valid will but the executor cannot, or will not, apply for a grant. The grant is proof that the person named in the grant (called a 'legal personal representative') is entitled to collect and distribute the estate of the deceased. There are three main types of grants: 1 <P> Probate is not required in every case as sometimes banks do release funds often under £15,000 on production of a death certificate and a copy of the will. 1 Cases when probate is not required will be when assets are held jointly such a property or bank When probate will not be needed :-. Cases when probate is not required will be when assets are held jointly such a property or bank When probate will not be needed :- Jointly owned assets automatically pass to the survivor eg. Joint bank account Joint owned property known as a joint Tenancy If the assets are under £5,000 in value. <P> Where the deceased's will does not name an executor or, for some reason, the only executor named in the will is unable or unwilling to apply for a grant of Probate a beneficiary named in a will or some other person may be able to apply to the Court for a grant of Letters of Administration with the Will Annexed. You may not require a grant of probate if: 1 The deceased owned real estate at the date of death as a joint tenant with another person such as a spouse or partner. 2 In this case the title can be transferred to the surviving party without a grant of probate being required. 3 Forms are available from Landgate for this purpose. <P> Before assets can be collected and the estate administered, the Executor’s have to apply to the Probate registry for what is known as a Grant of probate. The grant is a legal document which states the Deceased’s full name, as well as the Executors entrusted with the administration of the estate. The grant can then be presented to various financial institutions to collect the Deceased’s assets.

how long does caffeine stay in system
|
<P> Onset and Duration. It takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes for caffeine to reach its peak levels in your bloodstream. Caffeine has a half-life of approximately five to six hours, meaning that it takes this long for its concentration in your bloodstream to reduce by half. Physiological Effects. Caffeine's stimulant effect on the central nervous system is dose-dependent; the more caffeine consumed, the stronger the stimulant effect. It blocks a neurotransmitter called adenosine, which is a central nervous system depressant and has a calming, slowing effect on the brain. <P> As long as caffeine is in your blood, it's effects will also manifest. The time it takes for the body to eliminate one half of a caffeine dose is normally between 3 to 12 hours. It is called the half-life of caffeine. Several factors can shorten or lengthen the half life of caffeine. Smoking, medications and diseases are some factors. <P> The half-life, which is the time required by the body to metabolize or inactivate 1/2 of a substance activity, for caffeine (doses lower than 4.50mg/lb) ranges from 2.5 to 10hrs. Meaning, caffeine has little to no pharmacological effect after this time but may still be present in small amounts in the body. <P> How Long Does Caffeine Stay in the Body? In many instances, caffeine has a half-life around 5 hours (meaning 5 hours is needed to eliminate half the coffee amount). However, it might take longer – for example, a pregnant woman might get caffeine in her system around 20 hours after she ingests it. <P> What’s extraordinary is that caffeine when injected in the body doesn’t accumulate in one place but is spread through the body. It also varies from man to woman. Scientifically, caffeine resides longer in women’s system than that of men. The average half-life of caffeine in healthy humans persists for 4.9 hours. In men, typically residing between 5 to 9 hours, after the consumption of caffeine. Figures suggest a limited amount of 2-3 cups of coffee every day, and no more than that. That counts to 200 mg to 300 mg of Caffeine. Lest, varying from individual to individual, caffeine stays longer in human system than gauged normally. The longer it stays, the more malicious it gets with respect to your well-being! <P> Print Version. The half-life, which is the time required by the body to metabolize or inactivate 1/2 of a substance activity, for caffeine (doses lower than 4.50mg/lb) ranges from 2.5 to 10hrs. <P> How Long Does Caffeine Stay in the Body? In most cases, caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours (meaning 5 hours is needed to eliminate half the coffee amount). However, it might take longer – for instance, a pregnant woman might have caffeine in her system up to 20 hours after she ingests it. Between 150 and 200 milligrams is considered safe in most studies, but many doctors recommend pregnant women avoid caffeine altogether. That’s because no matter how long caffeine stays in the body of the mother, it might stay even longer in the baby. <P> Best Answer: The time it takes for the body to eliminate one half of a caffeine dose is normally between 3 to 12 hours. It is called the half-life of caffeine. Several factors can shorten or lengthen the half life of caffeine. Smoking, medications and diseases are some factors. Pregnant women have higher caffeine half-life, 18 to 20 hours-pretty much longer for the fetus since its organs are not yet fully formed to be able to eliminate caffeine easily. About 99% of the elimination process takes place in the liver. Source(s): http://neutral-izer.blogspot.com/2007/09... nicks606 · 6 years ago. <P> Advertisement. It only takes 45 minutes for 99% of the caffeine to be absorbed through these membranes. In humans the half-life for caffeine is anywhere from 4 to 6 hours on average, which explains why the average energy drink or coffee’s effect lasts about 4 to 6 hours.

what are normal flora
|
<P> Normal Flora. Your intestine contains more than one trillion beneficial bacteria, largely microorganisms that are anaerobes, which do not require oxygen to survive. Each person has a unique mix of flora, potentially containing as many as 400 different species. Most belong to the genera Streptococcus or Bacteroides. Gastrointestinal flora are bacteria that help your digestive tract function. Your gastrointestinal tract, or GI tract, is responsible for providing your body with nutrients, vitamins and minerals found in the food you consume. <P> Microorganisms including bacteria, protozoa, and fungi that are found on or in specific areas of the body. The skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity, intestines, upper respiratory tract, and vagina have specific, permanent flora. <P> Even though most elements of the normal microbial flora inhabiting the human skin, nails, eyes, oropharynx, genitalia, and gastrointestinal tract are harmless in healthy individuals, these organisms frequently cause disease in compromised hosts. Helicobacter pylori is a potential stomach pathogen that apparently plays a role in the formation of certain ulcer types. In normal hosts the duodenal flora is sparse (0 to 10 3 /g of contents). The ileum contains a moderately mixed flora (10 6 to 10 8 <P> The human microbiota is the aggregate of microorganisms, a microbiome that resides on the surface and in deep layers of skin (including in mammary glands), in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts. They include bacteria, fungi, and archaea. <P> Normal Flora. The normal flora are bacteria which are found in or on our bodies on a semi-permanent basis without causing disease. There are more bacteria living in or on our bodies, than we have cells of our own. A human body contains around 10 13 cells. The human body is home to around 10 14 bacteria. <P> These bacteria are called normal flora or normal microbiota. Article Summary: The human body is made up of about 10 trillion cells, but hosts 100 trillion more. The vast majority of cells living on and in the body are bacteria and other microbes. <P> These bacteria exist in many different parts of the body, and their presence usually does not cause any problems for the host body. The following is a list of the main sites for bacteria that consitute the normal flora. 1 The skin, especially the moist areas, such as the groin and between the toes. 2 The respiratory tract, particularly the nose. 3 Urinary tract. 4 The digestive tract, i.e. the mouth, the terminal ileum and the colon. <P> (2) Many of the normal flora are either pathogens or opportunistic pathogens, The asterisks indicate members of the normal flora a that may be considered major pathogens of humans. S. aureus. Gram stain. (3) Streptococcus mutans is the primary bacterium involved in plaque formation and initiation of dental caries. <P> Organisms in the stomach are usually transient, and their populations are kept low (10 3 to 10 6 /g of contents) by acidity. Helicobacter pylori is a potential stomach pathogen that apparently plays a role in the formation of certain ulcer types. In normal hosts the duodenal flora is sparse (0 to 10 3 /g of contents).

<P> noun. A chemical test that detects any compound containing two or more peptide bonds. Supplement. Biuret test is used for detecting compounds with peptide bonds. A biuret reagent may be used to test the aqueous sample. This blue reagent is made by combining sodium hydroxide and copper sulfate solutions. A few drops of this reagent will turn the aqueous sample containing compounds with peptide bonds from pale to intense violet colour. <P> Biuret is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C 2 H 5 N 3 O 2. It is also known as carbamylurea. It is the result of condensation of two molecules of urea and is a problematic impurity in urea-based fertilizers. This white solid is soluble in hot water. The biuret test is a chemical test for proteins and polypeptides. It is based on the biuret reagent, a blue solution that turns violet upon contact with proteins, or any substance with peptide bonds. <P> The biuret test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds.

The biuret test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds. In the presence of peptides, a copper (II) ion forms violet-colored coordination complexes in an alkaline solution. Several variants on the test have been developed, such as the BCA test and the Modified Lowry test. The biuret reaction can be used to assess the concentration of proteins because peptide bonds occur with the same frequency per amino acid in the peptide. The intensity of the color, and hence the absorption at 540 nm, is directly proportional to the protein concentration, according to the Beer-Lambert law. <P> The biuret test is a chemical assay that detects the presence of proteins in a sample. The test relies on a color change to confirm the presence of proteins. If proteins are found, the sample will turn violet. Biuret Reagent. The biuret test uses an alkaline mixture, or reagent, composed of potassium hydroxide and copper sulfate. The normal color of biuret reagent is blue. The reagent turns violet in the presence of peptide bonds -- the chemical bonds that hold amino acids together. <P> Biuret test is used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds.

<P> 1 Trinidad and Tobago investing in Jamaican LNG regasification terminal By Curtis Williams OGJ correspondent PORT OF SPAIN, Nov. 15 -- Trinidad and Tobago has agreed to take 40% interest in a Jamaican LNG regasification terminal slated for construction at Port Esquivel in Kingston by 2008. <P> NERA Economic Consulting 99 cost, 3) shipping cost between the liquefaction to regasification facilities, 4) regasification cost and 5) the pipeline shipping cost to move gas from the regasification facility to the city gate terminal in the demand region. <P> The Freeport LNG terminal is a world-class regasification facility with a peak send-out capacity of more than 2.0 Bcf per day. The site is located approximately six miles from open water off a ship channel which is maintained at a depth of 45 feet, sufficient for all existing LNG carriers. <P> Cartoon of LNG liquefaction and regasification terminals. At the liquefaction terminal (left) natural gas is received by pipeline from a well field, liquefied, stored and loaded onto LNG carrier ships. At the regasification terminal (right) LNG is offloaded into storage tanks, regasified and placed into storage. <P> Introduction to LNG - 5 - exporting countries) and shipping cost (primarily a function of distance). 2 This price range incorporates an estimated 30 percent escalation over CEE’s 2003 estimate of $2.00-3.70/MMBtu, a consequence of cost pressure in recent years associated with higher energy and commodity prices. <P> The total capacity contribution of FLNG regasification terminals to the global LNG regasification market is expected to increase from 5.4% in 2010 to 9.7% in 2015. Such growth can largely be attributed to strong demand for natural gas during 2005 to 2010, which is expected to continue until 2015. <P> LNG has some fixed costs above and beyond the cost of the raw natural gas. These costs are typically amortized over 20 years. The most significant of those fixed costs are: 1) Liquification plant $1.1 per Mcf +/- $0.20. 2) Shipping costs (LNG tankers and operating costs) $0.70 per Mcf +/- $0.30 depending on distance. 3) Cost for regasification $0.35 per Mcf. The costs come out to $2.15 per Mcf. <P> If each well produces less, then the costs are higher. Based on the costs of some of the conventional natural gas fields I’ve looked at, I think that the average cost will vary between $0.75 to $2.00 per mcf for most large conventional natural gas fields. <P> Note that the costs would be lower for oil and gas fields where the primary reason to drill the well was to produce the oil. Adding up everything, the cost to get LNG to market is in the range of around $2.90 to $4.15 per Mcf.

what do the russian dolls represent
|
<P> Matryoshka (matrioshka, matreshka), babushka, nested doll, stacking doll, the nesting doll is a world renowned symbol of maternity, continuity, layers of personality, and of Russia itself. Our nested dolls are a unique Russian gift, toy, or home decoration. <P> Though the Russian Matryoshka doll was designed and created at the Abramtsevo colony in 1890, the nesting doll concept was popular in China and Japan long before Malyutin and Zvyozdochkin were inspired to put a new spin on it at the Abramtsevo estate. <P> The matryoshka doll is a symbol of Russia and its culture. It is truly a doll—a child's plaything—but it began its history just over 100 years ago as a highly collectible art form. <P> Background. The matryoshka doll is a symbol of Russia and its culture. It is truly a doll—a child's plaything—but it began its history just over 100 years ago as a highly collectible art form. The matryoshka doll (or, simply, the matryoshka) is a nested doll with two halves that can be pulled apart. <P> In 1890, the first Matryoshka doll was designed and painted by Sergey Malyutin and carved from wood by Vasily Zvyozdochkin. Malyutin and Zvyozdochkin were both Russian folk artists living under the patronage of the wealthy industrialist Savva Mamontov on the renowned Abramtsevo estate. <P> Definition: A matryoshka (plural: matryoshki) is a Russian nesting doll. Nesting dolls are often used as symbols of Russian culture, but matryoshka dolls have their origins in similar dolls made in Japan. Matryoshka dolls are popular souvenirs. It's possible to buy very simple matryoshki in sets of five or seven.

meaning of the name khaleesi
|
<P> 1. It means queen in the dothraki language. Usually the wrong-given name to Daenerys Targaryen, character from A song of ice and fire books (Game of Thrones). 2. Badass sexy girl who has dragons and says dracarys to her enemies and burns them all. She gets the things she wants with fire and blood <P> Hello, Guest. Daenerys is yet another girls' name invented by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin that is beginning to gain some traction in real life. Daenerys was used for 67 baby girls in 2013 while one of the character's titles, Khaleesi, was given to 241 baby girls. And the name Arya, also from the hyper-popular series, is one of the fastest growing girls' names in the country. <P> Khaleesi is an invented name introduced to the world by inventive and prolific author George R. R. Martin for his wildly popular Game of Thrones series -- it's Dothraki for queen and is one of the titles of the character Daenerys. <P> In fact, the name comes from the Dothraki language. Except it's not a name in that language, but a common word meaning queen.. And Dothraki isn't a natural language, but a handful of words created by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin for his imagined Dothraki people. To me the name Khaleesi feels a little different from Queen because it's also a form of address -- like 'Your Highness'. This distinction means that Khaleesi, while not a name, was used on the tv series in a name-like way. <P> Perhaps most interesting is that the name Khaleesi has no meaning in English, and comes from the Dothraki language, completely invented by George R. R. Martin, author of the book series. But Khaleesi is not the only character from pop culture that has had this great of an influence over American baby-naming patterns. According to Laura Wattenberg, “The Baby Name Wizard” blogger, 146 American girls were named Khaleesi last year after HBO’s Game of Thrones title. According to Wattenberg, the recent skyrocketing of the baby name marked “a 450% jump in the name’s usage from 2011, and before that year it was completely unknown.”. <P> The name Khaleesi is of Dothraki origin, and it means wife of khal or ruler (from the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire) . It's a name commonly given to girls. The highest recorded use of the name Khaleesi was in 2014 with a total of 368 babies. According to the 2012 U.S. Social Security Administration data, the name Khaleesi is not a popular baby girl's name in Indiana. Imagine that, only 7 babies in Indiana have the same name as you in 2012. Across the entire United States a total of only 146 babies also bear the same first name during the same year <P> About the name Khaleesi. The meaning of the name Khaleesi: Created Name. The origin of the name Khaleesi: American. Notes: In George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels and Game of Thrones TV series, the title Khaleesi refers to the wife of the Khal, a warlord of the Dothraki tribe. Khaleesi Stats <P> Meanings and history of the name Khaleesi: | Edit. This name is taken from a title, roughly equivalent to queen, from the fictional Dothraki language in the fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire (and the tv version Game of Thrones). The name Kalesi (pronounced the same) is also a popular Fijian girls' name. For more background, see this Baby Name Wizard blog post on the name Khaleesi: http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2013/5/khaleesi-the-non-name-from-a-non-language. Kali, Leesi.

what are the nutrients in cabbage
|
<P> Health benefits of cabbage. Fresh, dark green-leafy cabbage is incredibly nutritious; but very low in fat and calories. 100 g of leaves provide just 25 calories. The vegetable is a storehouse of phyto-chemicals like thiocyanates, indole-3-carbinol, lutein, zea-xanthin, sulforaphane, and isothiocyanates. <P> Raw red cabbage is a rich source of anthocyanin compounds. Raw red cabbage is a favorite vegetable among dieters since it contains a negligible amount of total fat, no cholesterol or saturated fat and provides only 25 calories for every 1.5-cup serving. <P> The Nutrition of Cabbage. Cabbage is one of the most popular vegetables in kitchen gardens, coming in the color of red or green. You can cook the vegetable or eat it raw. If cooked, it is best to do so just slightly. Prolonged cooking destroys most of the nutrients. When eaten raw, it delivers plenty of nutrients into the body. <P> Purple cabbage has a light, refreshing taste. Purple cabbage, more commonly known as red cabbage, is a colorful variety from the brassica family. Purple cabbage has a relatively high ratio of nutrients and vitamins to calories and fat, which makes it an ideal choice for dieters. It is common in salads, coleslaw, braised dishes and pickled treats. <P> Yes...It is cabbage! Rich in phyto-nutrient anti-oxidants, this cool season leafy vegetable belongs to the Brassica family, a broad family of common vegetables that also include brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, and broccoli.

what causes the disease measles
|
<P> Measles is caused by the measles virus (a paramyxovirus). The measles virus is highly contagious. Measles is spread through droplet transmission from the nose, throat, and mouth of someone who is infected with the virus. These droplets are sprayed out when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Among unimmunized people exposed to the virus, over 90% will contract the disease. <P> Knowledge center. Rubella, also known as German measles, is an infectious disease caused by the rubella virus. The virus passes from person-to-person via droplets in the air expelled when infected people cough or sneeze-the virus may also be present in the urine, feces and on the skin. <P> Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is an infection caused by the rubella virus. This disease is often mild with half of people not realizing that they are sick. A rash may start around two weeks after exposure and last for three days. <P> Measles is very contagious. The measles virus is spread by coughing and sneezing. Measles transmission can occur any time, from about 4 days prior to the onset of the rash to 4 days after the onset. If one person has it, 90 percent of their susceptible close contacts will also become infected with the measles virus. <P> Measles, also known as rubeola, is a viral infection of the respiratory system. Measles is a very contagious disease that can spread through contact with infected mucus and saliva. The coughing or sneezing of an infected person can release the virus into the air. <P> Measles (Rubeola). A highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus. Symptoms appear 8-12 days after exposure and include a rash, cough, fever and muscle pains that can last 4-7 days. PubMed Health Glossary. (Source: NIH-National Cancer Institute). <P> Measles, also known as morbilli, rubeola, or red measles, is a highly contagious infection caused by the measles virus. Initial signs and symptoms typically include fever, often greater than 40 °C (104.0 °F), cough, runny nose, and red eyes. Symptoms usually develop 10–12 days after exposure to an infected person and last 7–10 days. Complications occur in about 30% and may include diarrhea, blindness, inflammation of the brain, and pneumonia among others. Rubella (German measles) and roseola are different diseases. <P> Measles is caused by a virus. It is spread when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or shares food or drinks. The measles virus can travel through the air. This means that you can get measles if you are near someone who has the virus even if that person doesn't cough or sneeze directly on you. Measles is a very contagious (easily spread) infection that causes a rash all over your body. It is also called rubeola or red measles. The measles vaccine protects against the illness. This vaccine is part of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella [chickenpox]) vaccines. <P> Causes. The cause of measles is a virus that replicates in the nose and throat of an infected child or adult. When someone with measles coughs, sneezes or talks, infected droplets spray into the air, where other people can inhale them.

effect of sugar concentration on fermentation rate
|
<P> TYPE. Article. ABSTRACT. Yeast use sugar during fermentation (anaerobic respiration) to convert monosaccharides into carbon dioxide and ethanol. Yeast cells were tested for their effectiveness in utilizing a variety of sugars for fermentation. The rate of fermentation in yeast cells was measured by monitoring the pressure build-up over time using the Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) system, a pressure probe, and a graphing calculator. <P> The rate of fermentation, a series of enzymatic reactions, can be affected by several factors, for example, concentration of yeast, concentration of glucose, or temperature. In this exercise you will investigate the effects of yeast concentration. When oxygen is low, some fungi, including yeast and most plants, switch from cellular respiration to alcoholic fermentation. In this laboratory experiment, the carbon dioxide (CO 2) produced can be used as an indication of the relative rate of fermentation taking place. <P> Experimental design. The effects of sugar concentration (50% glucose + 50% fructose), temperature, and pH on yeasts growth were tested using a central composite circumscribed design with three repetitions in the centre to account for pure error. Other significant coefficients for yeast T73 were also the linear effect of temperature, and the linear and quadratic effects of sugar concentration (Table 3). The effect of the environmental variables on µ max of T73 can be studied by means of their respective coefficients. <P> In this context, Charoenchai et al. (1998) reported the effects of temperature, pH, and sugar concentration on the growth rates and cell biomass of several wine yeasts such as Kloeckera apiculata, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Pichia anomala, S. cerevisiae and various Candida species. Other significant coefficients for yeast T73 were also the linear effect of temperature, and the linear and quadratic effects of sugar concentration (Table 3). The effect of the environmental variables on µ max of T73 can be studied by means of their respective coefficients. <P> It is obvious by the previous chemical reaction that as the yeast concentration increases, so does the anaerobic respiration. Variables: Independent variable: yeast concentration (a variety of yeast solutions are used, in order to determine the effect of changing yeast concentration on respiration rate). Aim: To determine the effects of temperature on the permeability of ... For most of the temperature range, higher temperatures appeared to effect greater permeability, hence higher betacyanin concentration in the solution, and thus greater absorbance. The membrane becomes more permeable at higher temperatures. <P> The graph shows that the higher the concentration of sugar the lower. the respiration rate. I believe this is because the more amount of. sugar added the more yeast die. This is due to either: 1. The high concentration of ethanol produced as a by-product. poisoning the yeast. 2. The temperature of the reaction being too high causing the yeast to. die or the enzymes to be denatured. 2. The temperature of the reaction, as some of the energy produced. converts into heat energy. At really high temperatures the reaction. will stop because the heat will have denatured the enzymes. 3. When there is a high sugar concentration the sugar molecules. diffuse into the yeast. But when the concentration of sugar is too low. the water in the yeast will diffuse out to equalise the concentration, creating a net of movement of water into an area where there is less. water <P> Length: 1042 words (3 double-spaced pages).

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out whether the rate of. Fermentation is affected by the amount of sugar. sugar you add, the more bubbles that appear (the higher the rate of.

The reason that the rate of Fermentation is decreased. as more sugar is added is because if there is too much sugar in the. mixture, some of the enzymes in the yeast (zymase) gradually die. <P> ABLE 2010 Proceedings Vol. 31 Kosinski and Morlok In this laboratory, you will observe both the effect of glucose concentration and of yeast population density on the rate of production of CO 2. Procedure 1. You should have three fermentation vials (each consisting of a thin tube and a thicker tube) at your station. <P> A high sugar concentration at the start of fermentation may lead to higher amounts of ethanol produced at the end of the fermentation. This would lower production costs by reducing the water and energy processing requirements for distillation. High sugar concentration is more preferred in industrial bioethanol production, as it can increase the amount of ethanol produced by the end of

what tissues do tracheids have
|
<P> Woody angiosperms have also vessels. The mature tracheids form a column of superposed, cylindrical dead cells whose end walls have been perforated, resulting in a continuous tube called vessel (trachea) . Tracheids are found in all vascular plants and are the only conducting elements in gymnosperms and ferns. Tracheids have Pits on their end walls. Pits are not nearly as efficient for water translocation as Perforation Plates found in vessel elements. <P> Thank you... In plants xylem and phloem are the complex tissues which are the components parts of conductive system. In higher plants xylem contains tracheids, vessels (tracheae), xylem fibres(wood fibres) and xylem parenchyma (wood parenchyma). Tracheids These are elongated narrow tube like cells with hard thick and lignified walls with large cell cavity. <P> Tracheid of oak shows pits along the walls. It is longer than a vessel element and has no perforation plates. Tracheids are elongated cells in the xylem of vascular plants that serve in the transport of water and mineral salts. Tracheids are one of two types of tracheary elements, vessel elements being the other. Tracheids, unlike vessel elements, do not have perforation plates. Tracheids provide most of the structural support in softwoods, where they are the major cell type. Because tracheids have a much higher surface to volume ratio compared to vessel elements, they serve to hold water against gravity (by adhesion) when transpiration is not occurring. <P> There are two types of cells that make up the xylem: tracheids and vessel elements. Both of these cell types are dead when they are used in the xylem. Using dead cells, which don’t have organelles filling them up, allows more capacity for transporting water. Tracheids are long, narrow cells whose ends overlap. Xylem and phloem make up the vascular tissue. The vascular tissue is arranged in bundles, and is easy to see in a cross-section of a stem: Another important tissue is the dermal tissue, which is the outer protective layer. Plants don’t have skin exactly, but they do have an epidermis. <P> Summary: Vessels have perforations at the end plates while tracheids do not have end plates. Tracheids are derived from single individual cells while vessels are derived from a pile of cells. Tracheids are present in all vascular plants whereas vessels are confined to angiosperms. Tracheids are thin whereas vessel elements are wide. Tracheids have a much higher surface-to-volume ratio as compared to vessel elements. Vessels are broader than tracheids with which they are associated. Morphology of the perforation plate is different from that in tracheids. <P> 13. The main cells of xylem are tracheids and vessel elements (these are only in found in angiosperms). Tracheids and vessel elements are dead cells that have lost their cytoplasm. Only their cell wall impregnated with lignin (an impermeable biopolymer) remains. <P> Tracheid. a dead lignified plant cell that functions in water conduction. Tracheids are found in the xylem of all higher plants except certain angiosperms, such as cereals and sedges, in which the water-conducting function is performed by vessels, or tracheae. Tracheids are usually polygonal in cross section; their walls have annular, spiral, or scalene thickenings or rimmed pores. <P> In biology, tissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organ. A tissue is an ensemble of similar cells from the same origin that together carry out a specific function. Organs are then formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. <P> Parenchyma is an example of a simple tissue (composed only of parenchyma cells); xylem is an example of a complex tissue (composed of tracheids, vessel members, parenchyma cells, and sometimes fibers). Tissues are organized into three tissue systems: the dermal, vascular, and ground systems. <P> While parenchyma cells do occur within what is commonly termed the xylem the more identifiable cells, tracheids and vessel elements, tend to stain red with Safranin-O. Tracheids are the more primitive of the two cell types, occurring in the earliest vascular plants. Tracheids are long and tapered, with angled end-plates that connect cell to cell. Vessel elements are shorter, much wider, and lack end plates.

Ironic is an OpenStack project which provisions physical hardware as opposed to virtual machines. Ironic provides several reference drivers which leverage common technologies like PXE and IPMI, to cover a wide range of hardware. The Ironic service is composed of the following components: 1 a RESTful API service, by which operators and other services may interact with the managed bare metal servers. 2 a Conductor service, which does the bulk of the work. 3 Functionality is exposed via the API service. <P> The Irony of OpenStack Ironic, Bare Metal for the Cloud. November 24, 2014 4:35 pm // 1 Comment // melissa. One of the projects discussed at the Kilo OpenStack design summit in Paris earlier this month is Ironic. Ironic is a program that seeks to deploy instances directly onto hardware, instead of as virtual machines. When we think of OpenStack, we tend to think of abstracting all the things, and the evolution of the hypervisor into a cloud computing environment. Ironic has another component that most projects don’t have, and that’s the Ironic conductor. The Ironic conductor is what does the heavy lifting. It is responsible for the powering on and off of hardware, and the actual provisioning and decommissioning of instances onto the hardware. <P> Ironic. Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. Failed to load latest commit information.

<P> It seeks the power to protect and project America’s national interests around the world. National interest shapes foreign policy and covers a wide range of political, economic, military, ideological, and humanitarian concerns. America’s foreign policy has changed over time reflecting the change in its national interest.

what is the difference between aromatic and benzene
|
<P> Best Answer: Benzene is a molecule (C6 H6) that has six carbons and six hydrogens in a conjugated system (alternating double bonds). The conjugated double bonds make Benzene aromatic. Aromatic describes conjugated ring systems (rings that feature a double bond for every other Carbon-Carbon bond such as seen with Benzene). However, aromatic rings can feature more than 6 carbons. Benzene is an example of an aromatic compound. Phenyl is usually used in the term Phenyl group. You can think of a phenyl group as what you call Benzene when it is a functional group for a larger molecule (or a substituent). One of benzene's hydrogens is replaced by the attachment of a more complex molecule. Source(s): One year college organic chemistry. <P> However, they have so many different chemical and physical properties. Benzene. Benzene only has carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged to give a planar structure. It has the molecular formula of C 6 H 6. Its structure and some of the properties are as follows. Benzene structure was found by Kekule in 1872. Because of the aromaticity, it is different from aliphatic compounds. <P> An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene (or sometimes aryl hydrocarbon) is a hydrocarbon with sigma bonds and delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms forming rings. Aromatic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic (MAH) or polycyclic (PAH). Some non-benzene-based compounds called heteroarenes, which follow Hueckel'hückel s (rule for monocyclic: rings when the number of its-π electrons equals+4n, 2 where=n,0,1,2.......), 3 are also called aromatic. compounds <P> The configuration of six carbon atoms in aromatic compounds is known as a benzene ring, after the simplest possible such hydrocarbon, benzene. Aromatic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic (MAH) or polycyclic (PAH). Some non-benzene-based compounds called heteroarenes, which follow Hueckel'hückel s (rule for monocyclic: rings when the number of its-π electrons equals+4n, 2 where=n,0,1,2.......), 3 are also called aromatic. compounds <P> Thnaks :). Benzene and phenyl seems look the same because they are both aromatic and all aromatic compounds are based on benzene C6H6. Phenyl or phenyl functional group is a hydrocarbon derived from benzene by removing 1 H, making it a C6H5 then attaching it to something else. Phenyl is a group. Phenyl or phenyl functional group is a hydrocarbon derived from benzene by removing 1 H, making it a C6H5 then attaching it to something else.-Phenyl is a group. Typically a subsituent if you are naming organic compounds. <P> Because of the aromaticity, they are different from other aliphatic compounds; thus, it is a separate field of study in organic chemistry. Though cyclohexane has a similar shape to benzene, it is not aromatic. Cyclohexane is a saturated alkane, which has different properties than benzene. Benzene. Benzene only has carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged to give a planar structure. It has the molecular formula of C 6 H 6. Though it has a similar number of carbons like benzene, cyclohexane is saturated. So there aren’t any double bonds between carbons like in benzene. It is a colorless liquid with a mild sweet odor. This can be produce by the reaction between benzene and hydrogen. <P> If it were to exist, cyclohexatriene would be a six-membered non-aromatic hydrocarbon with alternating double (short) and single (long) bonds (point group D3h) while benzene is a six-membered aromatic hydrocarbon with equivalent bonds (point group D6h). <P> Benzene and phenyl seems look the same because they are both aromatic and all aromatic compounds are based on benzene C6H6. Phenyl or phenyl functional group is a hydrocarbon derived from benzene by removing 1 H, making it a C6H5 then attaching it to something else.-Phenyl is a group. Typically a subsituent if you are naming organic compounds. But yes, youre thinking is correct...... <P> I can't seem to find what the difference between these two is. In my text book, it says that 'arenes are aromatic hydrocarbons containing one or more benzene rings' which to me suggests that arenes are a subgroup of aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons need not contain one or more benzene rings. <P> Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and is one of the most elementary petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [ n ]- annulene ([6]-annulene), a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph –H. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell. Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 6. Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom.

what does heterogeneous mean in chemistry
|
<P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. Heterogeneous means that there are different compounds in a sample. Heterogeneous is a term used with mixtures and the way I like to think about it is: If you have cheerios, apple jacks, and coco puffs in a bowl you have a heterogeneous mixture because you can physically separate the cereals from each other. If you can not physically separate out the components, it is not a mixture. <P> Heterogeneous catalyst: If the catalyst is present in a different phase as the reactants, it is called a heterogeneous catalyst and this type of catalyst is called heterogeneous catalysis. Types of solids used as catalyst: Different types of solids are used in <P> Homogeneous reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants and products are in the same phase, while heterogeneous reactions have reactants in two or more phases. Reactions that take place on the surface of a catalyst of a different phase are also heterogeneous. <P> Best Answer: Homogeneous mixture and Heterogeneous mixture are the two types of mixtures.. Homogeneous mixture-mixtures that have definite, consistent properties all throughout the process. common example is the mixture of salt in water. this is a homogeneous mixture because after the mixing salt and water cannot be separated. Heterogeneous mixture-mixtures with inconsistent, non-uniform composition. <P> Heterogeneous means that there are different compounds in a sample.

what type of tissue creates scars
|
<P> The most common reason for scar tissue in the back is from surgery; however, there are other causes that will cause scar tissue to form. Repetitive motion, injury, and surgery can cause scar tissue to form. Other causes for scar tissue can be sporting accidents or any other type of accident causing damage to the spine. <P> Scars are a natural part of the body's healing process. A scar results from the biologic process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues. Most wounds, except for very minor ones, result in some degree of scarring. Scars can result from accidents, diseases, skin conditions such as acne, or surgeries. <P> 1 This type of scarring is often seen with acne scars or with wounds where skin or muscle is removed by an injury. 2 This type of scarring can also happen when the body produces so much scar tissue in one area that it prevents new cells from growing where the wound took place. <P> A hypertrophic scar is a red, raised scar that forms along a wound and can have the following characteristics for around two to five years: 1 it can restrict movement because scar tissue is not as flexible as the original skin. 2 it heals within the size of the original wound. 3 the healing tissue is thicker than usual. <P> Scar Tissue Causes. Scar tissue is the formation of fibrosis connective tissue that is created to act as a protective barrier. It replaces healthy tissues that have been damaged due to a number of reasons. Scar tissue generally forms in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and joints. It is also called an adhesion. <P> A scar is the body's natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. A scar is usually composed of fibrous tissue. Scars may be formed for many different reasons, including as a result of infections, surgery, injuries, or inflammation of tissue. Scars may appear anywhere on the body, and the composition of a scar may vary-appearing flat, lumpy, sunken, colored, painful, or itchy.

what is lean manufacturing mean
|
<P> Lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing, lean enterprise, or lean production, often simply, Lean, is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. <P> The core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste. Not true. Lean applies in every business and every process. It is not a tactic or a cost reduction program, but a way of thinking and acting for an entire organization. Businesses in all industries and services, including healthcare and governments, are using lean principles as the way they think and do. <P> Definition. Doing more with less by employing 'lean thinking.' Lean manufacturing involves never ending efforts to eliminate or reduce ' muda ' (Japanese for waste or any activity that consumes resources without adding value) in design, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service processes. Use lean manufacturing in a sentence. Show more usage examples... A forever thorn in the side of the cotton pickers of Macon, Georgia was lean manufacturing, because when the cotton gin was invented there was no need for over half of the workers in the field, making for lean times too. <P> Lean manufacturing includes a set of principles that lean thinkers use to achieve improvements in productivity, quality, and lead-time by eliminating waste through kaizen. Kaizen is a Japanese word that essentially means change for the better or good change.. Lean manufacturing is the term most commonly used to describe the Toyota Production System (TPS). In the above figure, we have the TPS house. At the base, we have operational stability, which means creating consistency in methods and tasks, equipment, workplace organization, and output of work <P> Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply lean , is a systematic method for the elimination of waste ( Muda ) within a manufacturing system. Toyota's view is that the main method of lean is not the tools, but the reduction of three types of waste: muda (non-value-adding work), muri (overburden), and mura (unevenness), to expose problems systematically and to use the tools where the ideal cannot be achieved. <P> Lean IT is the extension of lean manufacturing and lean services principles to the development and management of information technology (IT) products and services. Its central concern, applied in the context of IT, is the elimination of waste, where waste is work that adds no value to a product or service. <P> Lean is not an acronym (“LEAN”). A list of things Lean is not: “ Lean ” is the set of management practices based on the Toyota Production System (TPS). The phrase “Lean Production” was coined by a group of MIT researchers who wrote the book The Machine That Changed the World. Lean is not about being skinny and it’s not about “cutting to the bone.” Lean is about having the right resources in place to do the right work for the customer, with the right quality, at the right time. Lean is not “mean” (although the words rhyme, unfortunately). <P> Essentially, lean is centered on making obvious what adds value by reducing everything else. Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS) (hence the term Toyotism is also prevalent) and identified as lean only in the 1990s. Toyota's view is that the main method of lean is not the tools, but the reduction of three types of waste: muda (non-value-adding work), muri (overburden), and mura (unevenness), to expose problems systematically and to use the tools where the ideal cannot be achieved. <P> Lean production is an assembly-line methodology developed originally for Toyota and the manufacturing of automobiles. It is also known as the Toyota Production System or just-in-time production. Lean production principles are also referred to as lean management or lean thinking.

what is a seton procedure
|
<P> Anal fistula, or fistula-in-ano, is a chronic abnormal communication between the epithelialised surface of the anal canal and (usually) the perianal skin. Anal fistulae originate from the anal glands, which are located between the internal and external anal sphincter and drain into the anal canal. <P> Fistulotomy. A fistulotomy is the most commonly used type of anal fistula surgery, used in 85-95% of cases. It involves cutting open the whole length of the fistula, from the internal opening to the external opening. The surgeon will flush out the contents and flatten it out. Surgery. The aim of surgery is to heal the fistula while avoiding damage to the sphincter muscles (the ring of muscles that open and close the anus). Damage to the sphincter muscles could lead to bowel incontinence, where you do not have control over your bowels. <P> Treatment is usually necessary to reduce the chances of infection in an anal fistula, as well to alleviate symptoms. An anal fistula is defined as a small tunnel with an internal opening in the anal canal and an external opening in the skin near the anus. Anal fistulas form when an anal abscess, that's drained, doesn't heal completely. Different types of anal fistulas are classified by their location. Diagnosis. It is usually simple to locate the external opening of an anal fistula, meanwhile locating the internal opening can be more challenging. It is important to be able to find the entire fistula for effective treatment. <P> 1 LIFT allows the surgeon to access the fistula between the sphincter muscles and avoid cutting them. 2 A seton is first placed into the fistula tract, forcing it to widen over time. 3 Several weeks later, the surgeon removes infected tissue and closes the internal fistula opening. In cases of complex fistula, more-invasive procedures may be recommended, including: 1 Ostomy and stoma. 2 The surgeon creates a temporary opening in the abdomen to divert waste into a collection bag, to allow the anal area time to heal. <P> (December 2009). A seton or seton stitch is, in medicine, a procedure used to aid the healing of fistulae (abnormal connections between two epithelium-lined organs or vessels). <P> 1 The surgeon places a silk or latex string (seton) into the fistula to help drain the infection. 2 Fibrin glue and collagen plug. 3 The surgeon clears the channel and stitches shut the internal opening. 4 Special glue made from a fibrous protein (fibrin) is then injected through the fistula's external opening. In cases of complex fistula, more-invasive procedures may be recommended, including: 1 Ostomy and stoma. 2 The surgeon creates a temporary opening in the abdomen to divert waste into a collection bag, to allow the anal area time to heal. <P> OK for all that know nothing to little about what a seton is: A seton or seton stitch is a medical term for a procedure used to aid the healing of fistulae. The procedure involves running a surgical-grade cord through the fistula tract so that the cord creates a loop that joins up outside the fistula. By repeated tightening of the Seton stitch, it can also be used to gradually cut through the fistula wall. The fistula gradually heals over behind the cutting Seton thereby slowly moving the fistula until it is outside the body and therefore no longer a problem. The procedure was mentioned by Hippocrates <P> In this procedure, the surgeon opens the fistula tunnel. To accomplish this, a small portion of the anal sphincter usually is cut. Once the tunnel is open, it is then converted to a groove, which allows the fistula to heal from the inside out. Stitches are generally not needed and a dressing may be put in place.

what is a bsn prepared nurse
|
<P> Hospitals that employ larger numbers of BSN-prepared nurses have lower patient mortality rates, according to Linda Aiken, PhD, RN, FAAN, director of the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. <P> BSN degree nurses are better prepared to meet patient needs. The main difference in study between an ADN and BSN is the emphasis on additional education in leadership and management, wellness, and community nursing. <P> Master of Science in Nursing Degree. MSN degree programs are typically two years in duration and open to holders of BSN degrees. Some MSN programs will also offer entry to students with health-related bachelor’s degrees. It is also possible to enter MSN programs that accept all bachelor’s degree holders. <P> BSN-prepared nurses have completed a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and have received additional training in leadership, management, and administrative roles. Essentially, ADN-prepared and BSN-prepared nurses can care for patients in the same ways. However, BSN-prepared nurses have been linked to better patient outcomes, lower mortality, and lower failure to rescue rates, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) . <P> One of the strongest arguments to support the need for a higher percentage of BSN prepared nurses is the research evidence that a richer mix of BSN nurses results in better patient outcomes. Work done by Aiken (2003), Estabrooks et al. (2005), Tourangeau et al. <P> The BSN Nurse is Prepared for a Broad Role. Unlike graduates of diploma or associate-degree nursing programs, the nurse with a baccalaureate degree is prepared to practice in all health care settings-critical care, outpatient care, public health, and mental health. <P> Nurses with Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees are well-prepared to meet the demands placed on today's nurse. BSN nurses are prized for their skills in critical thinking, leadership, case management, and health promotion, and for their ability to practice across a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings.

specialized white blood cells that are part of the immune system and produced during long term stress
|
<P> White Blood Cells. White blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes, are a part of the immune system and help our bodies fight infection. They circulate in the blood so that they can be transported to an area where an infection has developed. In a normal adult body there are 4,000 to 10,000 (average 7,000) WBCs per microliter of blood. <P> White blood cells are produced inside the bone marrow and stored in your blood and lymphatic tissues. Because some white blood cells have a short lifespan of one to three days, your bone marrow is constantly producing them. Click to Enlarge. They create antibodies to defend against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders. Neutrophils. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi. They are the most numerous type of white blood cell and your first line of defense when infection strikes. <P> The immune system is a collection of billions of cells that travel through the bloodstream. They move in and out of tissues and organs, defending the body against foreign bodies (antigens), such as bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells. There are two types of lymphocytes : B cells-produce antibodies which are released into the fluid surrounding the body’s cells to destroy the invading viruses and bacteria. T cells (see picture opposite) - if the invader gets inside a cell, these (T cells) lock on to the infected cell, multiply and destroy it. <P> CD4 cells are a type of lymphocyte (white blood cell). They are an important part of the immune system. CD4 cells are sometimes called T-cells. There are two main types of CD4 cells. T-4 cells, also called CD4+, are helper cells. They lead the attack against infections. <P> White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All leukocytes are produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell. <P> White blood cells. The white blood cells play a very important part in the immune system as it is the white blood cells which directly fight the bacteria and viruses that infect the body. There are three main types of white blood cell: granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. Granulocytes help to engulf bacteria, fungi and parasites. <P> Antibody. Protein that is produced by lymphocytes (white blood cells) and that attaches to a specific antigen. Antigen. Molecule on the surface of a pathogen that identifies it as a foreign invader to the immune system. Bacteria. Single-celled organism. Has a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm. The white blood cells then produce antibodies to match the shape of the antigens. The antigens on the surface of pathogenic cells are different from those on the surface of your own cells. This enables your immune system to distinguish pathogens from cells that are part of your body. <P> The main types of immune cells are white blood cells. There are two types of white blood cells – lymphocytes and phagocytes. When we’re stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. There are two types of lymphocytes : B cells-produce antibodies which are released into the fluid surrounding the body’s cells to destroy the invading viruses and bacteria. T cells (see picture opposite) - if the invader gets inside a cell, these (T cells) lock on to the infected cell, multiply and destroy it.

cost brick fence

<P> 1 Columns of brick, stone or other materials made to look like brick or stone can cost $100-$1,500 or more each. 2 For example, Penn Fencing sells 8x8 fake brick or stone sleeves that slide over a standard 6x6 fence post for about $145. 1 Vinyl fence posts typically cost $10-$50 or more each. 2 Hoover Fence Company sells 4x4 posts that are 78-107 long for $12 -44 -$42.42 individually or $11.84-$38.94 each in pallets of 60; 5x5 vinyl posts are $22.89-$31.34 individually or $22.30-$30 -73 each in pallets of 48. <P> 1 FauxPanels.com sells 20'x20 faux brick fence posts (with cap and anchoring system) for $800-$1,200 each. 2 MiamiStoneInstallers.com describes how stone posts are built, and a company representative estimates it costs $450 each ($1,800 total) for four 7' brick pillars 16x16 or 20x20 wide. 1 Vinyl fence posts typically cost $10-$50 or more each. 2 Hoover Fence Company sells 4x4 posts that are 78-107 long for $12 -44 -$42.42 individually or $11.84-$38.94 each in pallets of 60; 5x5 vinyl posts are $22.89-$31.34 individually or $22.30-$30 -73 each in pallets of 48. <P> Cost of fence installation vary from $15 per linear foot for standard 4’ high chain link on 2-3/8” in diameter 16-gauge galvanized steel posts fence to $460 / Ln. Ft. or even more for custom build 6 Ft. high stone fence. Accurate estimate can be provided only after on-site inspection and analyzing work complexity. $245 - $410. Cost of materials is a charge will be added to the gross expenses to build a new fence if a contractor will purchase and supply all necessary materials at his own discretion for the standard fence installation. <P> 1 MiamiStoneInstallers.com describes how stone posts are built, and a company representative estimates it costs $450 each ($1,800 total) for four 7' brick pillars 16x16 or 20x20 wide. 2 DIY installation of a brick fence post might cost $200-$500 and take a weekend or two of hard work. 1 Vinyl fence posts typically cost $10-$50 or more each. 2 Hoover Fence Company sells 4x4 posts that are 78-107 long for $12 -44 -$42.42 individually or $11.84-$38.94 each in pallets of 60; 5x5 vinyl posts are $22.89-$31.34 individually or $22.30-$30 -73 each in pallets of 48. <P> Considering the long-lasting, beautiful results you can get with brick fencing, it is surprisingly inexpensive and can be comparable to Colorbond and other fencing materials. For example, a simple brick fence can cost around $2,000. For better results, you might pay up to $3,500. A Colorbond fence of the same length might cost about the same or a little higher depending on your Colorbond fence style. If you choose premium materials like glass, you can spend up to $6,000 or more. 1 For larger jobs, bricklayers may charge by the brick.. 2 Their quote will be based on the number of bricks they need to lay. 3 The cost of a single brick will include labour and can be anywhere between $1.00 and $5.00, depending on the complexity of the job. <P> To estimate the cost of a brick fence, you must first decide on the type of fence you want so you can accurately determine how many bricks you need. Step 5. Count how many bags of mortar you need to build your fence. Most mortar bags have an estimated square footage printed on the bag. For example, if your bag of mortar covers 25 square feet and you have 200 square feet of fence, you need eight bags of mortar to complete the fence. <P> If you're looking for a strong, attractive fence that can add more value to your home than the cost of the fence, consider installing a brick fence. Bricks come in a variety of colours or can be rendered and painted, making brick an ideal choice for any style home. For a decorative brick fence, expect to pay something on the higher end of the price scale, since laying brick fencing is often more technical and time consuming than building a solid brick wall. <P> Cost of Materials. The cost of adding a new wall to a home depends on the material used. Brick walls are often an affordable option, and a hollow brick wall costs around $25.40 per square foot. Hollow bricks feature a unique design with a durable shell and a hollow space in the center of each brick. Traditional brick walls cost around $14.10 per square foot. A natural stone wall will cost around $8 to $12 per square foot based on the type of stone chosen. A concrete block wall costs $6.10 to $7.60 per linear foot. <P> Bricklayers charge hourly rates of between roughly $35 and $50 per hour. For larger projects, such as a perimeter fence or brick privacy wall, they may work out a quote on a per-brick basis, which can range between $1.00 and $5.00 per brick. For a decorative brick fence, expect to pay something on the higher end of the price scale, since laying brick fencing is often more technical and time consuming than building a solid brick wall. <P> Brick fences are more costly than most other types of fences and council permission will probably be needed before you build your wall. If it is a boundary fence, you will also need to get permission from neighbouring properties, who, if they agree, will share the cost of the fence with you. For a decorative brick fence, expect to pay something on the higher end of the price scale, since laying brick fencing is often more technical and time consuming than building a solid brick wall.

what temp does a car battery freeze
|
<P> The only way that a battery can freeze is if it is left in a state of partial or complete discharged. As the state of charge in a battery decreases, the electrolyte becomes more like water and the freezing temperature increases. The freezing temperature of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery is -92.0oF. At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature reaches approximately 16.0oF. Water is lost during charging. Therefore, the best time to water your batteries is always at the end of the charge cycle. However, if the electrolyte level is extremely low or the plates are exposed to air, add some water to cover the plates before starting <P> But if a battery is discharged because of damage to cells, poor connections or a charging system that isn't doing its job, the battery could start freezing at the same temperature as water. A 100 percent fully charged battery will not freeze until approximately minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit. A fully discharged battery can freeze at or around 32 degrees, Kimbrough said in a telephone interview. The difference between a fully charged and discharged 12-volt battery is not that big. Related: How to Store Your Car for Winter. When I'm talking about a fully discharged battery, I'm not talking about zero volts. Interstate says a car battery loses 33 percent of its power when the temperature drops below freezing and more than 50 percent when it goes below zero, so just when you need more power, you have less to start your car. That's why preventive maintenance is a good idea, Kimbrough said <P> 13.2.6. Float or periodic recharging will prevent batteries from freezing. An Electrolyte Freeze Points at Various States-of-Charge for a Wet Lead-Acid Battery table indicates the temperature when the electrolyte will freeze. 13.2.7. Store in a cold dry place, but not so that it will freeze, and where it can be easily recharged. The freezing point of a battery is determined by the SoC and the higher it is, the lower the freezing temperature. Please see the Electrolyte Freeze Points Table in Section 4.4.1. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. A car battery freezes at different temperatures depending on its state of charge. When fully charged the electrolyte is mostly Sulfuric acid and it will not freeze easily, something as low as minus 60. When discharged the acid turns to mostly water and the freezing will start at much warmer temperatures, minus 10 can give a problem with a flat battery. 32 deg fah +++ (That's the freezing-point of pure water.) Adding antifreeze lowers the freezing-point, to a temperature depending on the make and dilution-the values for a s … pecific anti-freeze will be on its container label. <P> At a 40% state of charge, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature drops to approximately -16 degrees F. When a battery is fully charged the electrolyte will not freeze until the temperature drops to approximately -92 degrees F. <P> 1 According to Kimbrough, a fully charged battery will not freeze until -76°F; however, a fully discharged battery could start to freeze at 32°F. 2 Small Maintenance Chores are Necessary. 3 Preparing your car for the winter doesn’t end with the battery itself. 4 You need to inspect your battery cables, posts, and fasteners. 1 Protect Your Battery from Mr. Freeze. 2 The cold weather can dramatically reduce a person’s energy level and it can do the same to a battery’s available starting power. 3 It’s a good idea to have your car’s starting and charging system tested every six months. <P> This is important because a discharged battery will freeze -- a charged battery will not freeze. A battery that has been frozen is very likely a dead battery. Note that a car battery rarely freezes because a car battery is rarely fully discharged. A car battery will freeze if it is allowed to get cold enough when discharged. Let's examine why my customers need to worry about discharged batteries over the winter. Lead-acid batteries contain a solution of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and water -- the solution is referred to as the battery's electrolyt <P> As they get older the charge rate decreases but you should not have a freezing problem with a battery that is charged. More of a problem in cold weather is the batteries inefficiency, at minus 30 70% of the capacity is lost due to the cold. Keep the battery warm if you live in a really cold area. 32 deg fah +++ (That's the freezing-point of pure water.)

what are the types of muscle pain
|
<P> There are two common types of lower back strain: 1 A muscle strain happens when the muscle is over-stretched or torn, resulting in damage to the muscle fibers (also called a pulled muscle). 2 A lumbar sprain happens when ligaments are stretched too far or torn. Lower back strain is caused by damage to the muscles and ligaments of the back. Learn about muscle anatomy and the symptoms of lower back strain. Back Strains and Sprains Video. A muscle strain or a muscle sprain in the back is the most common cause of back pain. <P> (December 2013). Myalgia, or muscle pain, is a symptom of many diseases and disorders. The most common causes are the overuse or over-stretching of a muscle or group of muscles. Myalgia without a traumatic history is often due to viral infections. Longer-term myalgias may be indicative of a metabolic myopathy, some nutritional deficiencies or chronic fatigue syndrome. <P> You may feel muscle pain in a specific muscle of the body, such as a back muscle or leg muscle, or you may feel more diffuse muscle pain all over, such as when you have the flu (influenza). A person with chest pain who is having a heart attack or angina is feeling cardiac muscle pain. Although we often think of skeletal muscle pain, problems with other kinds of muscle, such as smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, can also cause pain. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of hollow organs in your body, such as your stomach, bladder, and blood vessels, and play a big role in normal organ function. <P> The most common causes of muscle pain are tension, stress, overuse and minor injuries. This type of pain is usually localized, affecting just one or more muscles or parts of your body. Systemic muscle pain, which you feel throughout your body, is different. It's more often the result of an infection, an illness or a side effect of a medication. Common causes of muscle pain include: 1 Chronic exertional compartment syndrome. 2 Chronic fatigue syndrome. 3 Claudication. <P> Musculoskeletal pain has varying symptoms and causes. Some of the more common types of pain include: 1 Bone pain: This is usually deep, penetrating, or dull. 2 It most commonly results from injury. 3 It is important to be sure that the pain is not related to a fracture or tumor. 4 Muscle pain: This is often less intense than bone pain, but it can still be debilitating <P> Menstrual cramps are a type of smooth muscle pain in the uterus. Temporary skeletal muscle pain is often caused by minor muscle strain due to an awkward movement or overuse. This type of pain often involves just one or very few muscles and is relatively acute and intense. Although we often think of skeletal muscle pain, problems with other kinds of muscle, such as smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, can also cause pain. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of hollow organs in your body, such as your stomach, bladder, and blood vessels, and play a big role in normal organ function. <P> Three common classifications of back pain include: 1 Axial pain. 2 Also called mechanical pain, axial pain is the most common cause of back pain and may present in a number of different ways (sharp or dull, constant, comes and goes, etc.). 3 A muscle strain is a common cause of axial pain. 4 Referred pain. Common anatomical causes of back pain include: 1 The large nerve roots that go to the legs and arms may be irritated. 2 The smaller nerves that innervate the spine may be irritated. 3 The large paired back muscles (erector spinae) may be strained. 4 The bones, ligaments, or joints themselves may be injured. <P> 1 Axial pain. 2 Also called mechanical pain, axial pain is the most common cause of back pain and may present in a number of different ways (sharp or dull, constant, comes and goes, etc.). 3 A muscle strain is a common cause of axial pain.

start up cost for a laundromat
|
<P> The cost of starting a laundromat will include new plumbing, upgrading of the electrical circuits, carpentry, develop the sewer lines and drainage, and upgrade the gas lines of an existing building. A realistic ballpark figure for a small laundromat’s construction needs would be between $100,000 and $200,000. Equipment Costs. The cost of starting a laundromat includes the purchase price or lease price for coin-operated washing and drying machines. These may range between $150,000 to $450,000 depending on brand name, sophistication, size, and strength. <P> You have the option of either purchasing or leasing equipment for a laundry business. The price of commercial washing and drying equipment ranges from $150,000 to $450,000, depending on the sophistication of the equipment and the size of your laundromat. <P> Step 8. Choose your accessories. Optional items you might want to include in your start-up laundromat include a soda vending machine for between $3,000 and $4,000, a security system typically running between $6,000 and $10,000, a television set for between $200 and $500, or a wi-fi connection for about $40 to start. <P> If you buy an existing laundromat, your start-up cost is primarily the amount you pay for the business, as it will already be stocked with the necessary equipment and hook-ups. If you choose to build your own laundromat, a 2,000 square-foot space will typically cost between $200,000 and $500,000. <P> Other start-up costs include professional installation, furniture, business incorporation or formation costs, utilities installation and customer supplies, such as a detergent vending machine. Typically, start-up costs for a laundromat can run from about $200,000 to over $1,000,000, according to Entrepreneur magazine. After assessing your start-up costs, your budget should include allowances for regular future expenses, such as loan financing payments, rent and maintenance.

what is chakras meaning
|
<P> These seven chakra symbols are vital to our health. Negative feelings hamper the spin of these chakras, resulting in sickness and disease. A chakra is a vital energy center that resides in our bodies, that is not detectable by most modern medical means. This chakra symbol connects us with the energy to take action and is the seat of self-esteem and expressing our personal power. Our relationship to the world around us, and our beliefs about our place within it come from this the third of the seven chakras. Self-honoring starts here. <P> Chakras are the seven power points of life force in the body. Chakra means wheel of light in Sanskrit. The Chakras are the seven power points in the human body that circulate energy or the life force also known as prana. They are vertically aligned in the center of the body close to the spine. <P> Chakras are the major centres of spiritual power in the human body and are circles of energy which balance, store and distribute the energies of life all through our physical body along the subtle body. The subtle body is the non physical body or otherwise known as our soul or spirit, which overlays our physical body. If you could imagine chakras as circles of energy, flowing all the way through our body these circles of energy assist in the running of our body, mind and soul. If a chakra is not performing correctly, this could cause our physical health, mental health and our spiritual selves to suffer. <P> In some Indian religions, a chakra (Sanskrit cakra, wheel) is thought to be an energy point or node in the subtle body. Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels called nadi. Nadi are believed to be channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana) (non-physical) or vital energy (non-physical) moves. <P> Chakra Symbol Meaning. Chakra Meanings-Portal Page. Chakra symbol meaning is like a deep opening into a well of ancient knowledge. The chakra itself is merely a circle. It is the esoteric symbolism attributed to the chakra symbol that offers a wealth of meaning. What's more, we can apply this perennial meaning to all aspects of our lives <P> Tweet. A journey through the seven chakra colors is essentially a journey through the rainbow. Each of your seven chakras has a corresponding color that follows the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (or white). This is the most widely accepted color system for your chakras. <P> The 6th Ray of Devotion governs this chakra. This chakra symbol connects us with the energy to take action and is the seat of self-esteem and expressing our personal power. Our relationship to the world around us, and our beliefs about our place within it come from this the third of the seven chakras. Self-honoring starts here. <P> The Chakras System, Chakra is a Sanskrit word literally meaning wheel.. These centers were named as such because of the circular shape to the spinning energy centers which exist in our subtle etheric body, the non-material energetic counterpart to our physical body. <P> Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit, and the chakras of humans are wheels of energy in the human aura, or energy field. Life force energy -- chi, ki, or prana -- flows in and out of us through the chakras. Chakras-Wheels of Energy-Wheels of Life. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit, and the chakras of humans are wheels of energy in the human aura, or energy field. Life force energy -- chi, ki, or prana -- flows in and out of us through the chakras. Each chakra has an area of life that its energy affects particularly.

how are prairies formed
|
<P> The Canadian Prairies is a region in western Canada, which may correspond to several different definitions, natural or political. Notably, the Prairie provinces or simply the Prairies comprise the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as they are partially covered by prairie (grasslands). <P> Savannas, characterized by a grassy prairie-type ground cover underneath an open tree canopy, were common in northeastern Illinois. Scattered out on the prairie were patches of rich forests completely surrounded by prairie; these forests are called prairie groves. Prairies developed and were maintained under the influence of three major non-biological stresses: climate, grazing, and fire. Occurring in the central part of North America, prairies are subject to extreme ranges of temperatures, with hot summers and cold winter <P> Midwest prairies were formed relatively recently in geologic time. About 18,000 years ago much of the Midwest was covered by glaciers. As the glaciers moved through the area, their massive weight and grinding action flattened the soil. When the glaciers receded about 10,000-12,000 years ago, the huge amounts of melting water helped form river valleys. The melting waters also carried large amounts of soil and rocks. These were deposited as they receded. <P> Prairies are formed over thousands of years by sediments of mountains and shield regions that erode, filling in what were once bodies of water until the sediments become so plentiful that it creates new land. A prairie dog is a small burrowing rodent, genus Cynomys, of the squirrel family, being closely related to ground squirrels, chipmunks, and marmots, mostly being herbivorous, … although the eat some insects. They are named for their habitat and warning call which sounds like a dog barking. <P> About 8,300 years ago, the climate became substantially warmer and drier, and within the relatively short time of 500 to 800 years, most of the forests in Illinois died out, except along stream banks, and prairies spread over the landscape. Scattered out on the prairie were patches of rich forests completely surrounded by prairie; these forests are called prairie groves. Prairies developed and were maintained under the influence of three major non-biological stresses: climate, grazing, and fire. <P> Prairies are one of the most recently developed ecosystems in North America, formed after the period of Pleistocene glaciation. About 18,000 years ago, much of Illinois was covered by glaciers. As the glaciers melted, the land was covered at first with tundra type vegetation, then by spruce forests. Scattered out on the prairie were patches of rich forests completely surrounded by prairie; these forests are called prairie groves. Prairies developed and were maintained under the influence of three major non-biological stresses: climate, grazing, and fire. <P> 1 Prairies are one of the most recently developed ecosystems in North America. 2 Prairies formed about 8,000 years ago. 3 About one percent of the North American prairies still exists. 4 Iowa had the largest percentage of its area covered by tallgrass prairie - 30 million acres. Tallgrass Prairie. 1 Tallgrass prairie once covered 142 million acres. 2 Prairies once covered about 40% of the United States. 3 Prairies are one of the most recently developed ecosystems in North America. 4 Prairies formed about 8,000 years ago. 5 About one percent of the North American prairies still exists. 6 Iowa had the largest percentage of its area ... <P> There are many prairies in the world that have been made in many different ways. One common way is a prairie forms of what use to be a large body of water. After the water evaporates, their is great soil for plants to grow. Wild grasses take off and cover the large area of land. Many of the prairie lands of the world have been taken over by farms. You can still find many large areas of prairies in the central United States. Some prairie landforms are overtaken by different types of forests of the world. Sometimes fires can help prevent this from happening and actually make the prairies thrive. <P> 1 Prairies formed about 8,000 years ago. 2 About one percent of the North American prairies still exists. 3 Iowa had the largest percentage of its area covered by tallgrass prairie - 30 million acres. 4 In Iowa, 99.9 percent of the historic natural landscape is gone. Tallgrass Prairie. 1 Tallgrass prairie once covered 142 million acres. 2 Prairies once covered about 40% of the United States. 3 Prairies are one of the most recently developed ecosystems in North America. 4 Prairies formed about 8,000 years ago. 5 About one percent of the North American prairies still exists. 6 Iowa had the largest percentage of its area ... <P> The formation of the North American Prairies started with the upwelling of the Rocky Mountains. The mountains created a rain shadow that killed most of the trees. The parent material of most prairie soil was distributed during the last glacial advance that began about 110,000 years ago. Temperate grassland regions include the Pampas of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay as well as the steppes of Eurasia. Lands typically referred to as prairie tend to be in North America.

average processing time for sinp saskatchewan
|
<P> I think average processing time for sinp skilled worker varies from 15 to 18 months for nomination's only and add 8 to 10 extra months for CIC. Quote from: Poli on January 17, 2013, 03:46:24 pm. Fazan, i tried to answer your question thru here but i couldn't so i post my reply here....hope you see it! In other provinces it can take as little as a month. Quote from: RebeccaCQ on October 03, 2012, 12:24:55 pm. I was under the impression that the application would be processed within a few weeks (eg 6-12 weeks). <P> The SINP is an immigration program under which the Province of Saskatchewan selects individuals from other countries and nominates them to the federal government for landed immigrant status. SINP eligibility criteria are designed to meet the specific needs of the Saskatchewan labour market and economy. There are no financial requirements under the SINP Skilled Worker/Professional category but federal guidelines recommend that immigrants arrive with a minimum of $10,000 plus $2,000 for each dependent, or some other source of financial support in Canada. <P> The processing time for the different categories under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program changes quarterly. Below is the average processing time for the different categories (subject to change). This covers the time starting when the ‘complete’ application was received. • The number of applications received – the more the applicants, the longer the processing time. • The length of time an applicant takes to respond in cases when SINP requests for more information or additional documentation. <P> Re: SINP processing time. « Reply #9 on: December 06, 2012, 06:02:22 am ». Just to update..we submitted the SINP application online & within about 8 days received a request for further documentation/clarification. We submitted these within the next week, then waited less than a week to receive the Visa approval. In other provinces it can take as little as a month. Quote from: RebeccaCQ on October 03, 2012, 12:24:55 pm. I was under the impression that the application would be processed within a few weeks (eg 6-12 weeks). <P> There are so many questions regarding the processing time of any application for immigration to the different programs in Canada. What applicants must know is that the time differs from one program to another, and this is often determined by the completeness (or non-completeness) of the requirements submitted. • The number of applications received – the more the applicants, the longer the processing time. • The length of time an applicant takes to respond in cases when SINP requests for more information or additional documentation. <P> The average hourly wage for a construction worker in Saskatchewan in March 2013 was $25.78 compared to $26.54 for Canada and $26.06 in the United States. Saskatchewan has the lowest unemployment rate in the country. The province is trying to recruit workers from other provinces as well as further afield. SINP applicants may choose to engage the services of an immigration consultant or not, however, no immigration consultant has or will be allocated an immigrant quota from the Province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) discussed in various news outlets. <P> Note: The processing time indicated above is based on the time it took to process 80% of the applications under each category in the past. Future processing time may change depending on the factors mentioned. • The number of applications received – the more the applicants, the longer the processing time. • The length of time an applicant takes to respond in cases when SINP requests for more information or additional documentation. <P> Processing times vary, however, successful SINP applications typically receive visas considerably quicker than individuals applying through federal immigration classes. In the first two years of operating the SINP, the average time from making the SINP application to receiving a visa was about eight months. There are no financial requirements under the SINP Skilled Worker/Professional category but federal guidelines recommend that immigrants arrive with a minimum of $10,000 plus $2,000 for each dependent, or some other source of financial support in Canada. <P> • Prioritization. Skilled workers are prioritized, so their processing time is shorter. Applicants with a permanent and full-time job offer in a high-skilled occupation (NOC A, B, and 0) are also given priority. • The number of applications received – the more the applicants, the longer the processing time. • The length of time an applicant takes to respond in cases when SINP requests for more information or additional documentation. <P> Re: SINP processing time. « Reply #13 on: January 17, 2013, 03:46:24 pm ». Fazan, i tried to answer your question thru here but i couldn't so i post my reply here....hope you see it!

what is a double stack magazine
|
<P> A double stack magnum is a needle arrangement that consists of a bottom layer of needles lined up tightly in a row with a second stack of tightly lined needles on top of the f … irst. The layers have different numbers of needles in them. Common double stack magnum sizes are 5, 7, 9, 11, and 15. <P> Double stacked magazines give you about double the magazine capacity of single stacks, but they are slightly less reliable for two reasons. They are more prone to drop jumbles and the ammunition loses alignment and won't feed without fixing the problem. <P> Double stacks are two columns of ammunition stacked together in a staggered manner(looks like a zipper). As the rounds are feed into the pistol they are pushed into the top magazine taper which acts as a funnel to feed into the pistol. <P> 4,595. Real Kalashnikovs have 30-round double-stack magazines that rock into the bottom of the receiver. In Kalifornia, I'd have no idea what sort of Kalashnikov set up is legal, but presumably the single stack magazine is something for that state or others with similar restrictions. <P> A double stack magazine will have the cartridges loaded in a staggered or zigzag pattern like this : --_--_--_--_--_. As opposed to a single stack magazine which will have the cartridges loaded one directly above the other like this : -- -- -- -- --. <P> More images... UpLULA™ 9mm 10mm .357 40 & 45 (Not .357 Magnum or 38 Special) Universal Pistol Magazine Loader New Version with Unloading Feature The UpLULA™ loader is a military-quality universal pistol magazine loader designed for loading virtually all 9mm up to .45ACP single and double stack magazines. <P> For those living in states where magazines are restricted, the single stack or double stack debate begins to lose a lot of meaning quickly. But for those who live in unrestricted magazine states, a double stack can be the difference of doubling the number of bullets in their magazine. <P> The UpLULA™ is a military-quality universal pistol magazine loader and unloader designed for loading and unloading virtually all* 9mm Luger up to .45ACP magazines, single and double stack and 1911′s of all manufacturers. It will also load most .380ACP double-stack mags.

what is a lithosphere
|
<P> Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. <P> The lithosphere is Earth's outermost layer, composed of rocks in the crust and upper mantle that behave as brittle solids. The rigid lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere, a layer of the mantle in which rocks are hot and deformable. <P> Lithosphere. Introduction. The lithosphere is the solid and rigid outer layer of our planet. It includes the crust and part of the upper mantle that contains rigid rocks. Beneath this layer is the asthenosphere where the rocks in this part of the upper mantle are not rigid. The rocks can flow like a liquid or break apart similar to silly putty <P> The tectonic plates of the Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere (from the Greek for rocky sphere) is the solid, outermost shell of a rocky planet. In the case of the Earth, the lithosphere includes the crust and the upper layer of the mantle that is joined to the crust. <P> Rockhound. The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. <P> The lithosphere, Greek for “rocky sphere,” is the outermost shell of the Earth. The term is also used to refer to the outermost rocky shell of other solid planets. It is a relatively thin layer, about 31 to 62 miles (50 to 100 km) thick under the oceans and 93 miles (150 km) thick on the continents. The lithosphere is 31 to 62 miles thick under the oceans. The lithosphere is the outermost shell of the Earth, separating the crust from the upper mantle. Movements of plates in the lithosphere formed giant mountains like Mount Everest. Lithospheric plates are more commonly known as tectonic plates. View slideshow of images above

what kettlebell weight should a woman use
|
<P> I recommend that most women can start with an 8 kg/18-lb kettlebell, while fit women can begin with a 12 kg/26-lb kettlebell. A male starting to work out should begin with a 16 kg/35-lb kettlebell, while a fit man can begin with a 24 kg/53-lb kettlebell. This is my opinion, based upon my experiences. <P> WOMEN. Women who are new to kettlebell training and lifting in general should start with an 18 pound or 8 kilogram kettlebell. This weight is ideal for a woman who is just beginning weight training whether it be in the gym or at home. <P> Kettlebell weight is most frequently measured in kilograms rather than pounds. They start at 4 kg and move up in 4-kg increments. The most widely used sizes for general fitness are 4 kg up to 24 kg. Most people should start with a kettlebell weight of between 8 kg and 16 kg. A beginner female should start with an 8-kg bell, as the 4 kg is not heavy enough to provide a solid weight lifting effect for most women. Women with more weight lifting experience and fitness can start with a 12-kg bell. <P> Generally, the best weight for unconditioned beginners of kettlebell training should range from 4 kg to 8 kg for women and 12 kg to 16 kg for men. <P> MEN. Men who are new to kettlebell training and lifting in general should start with a 35 pound or 16 kilogram kettlebell. This is the ideal weight for the average man, new to weights or with a bench press strength of under 200 pounds.
