is applecare worth it	<P> – You are tech savvy. If you have the skills to repair your Apple device yourself, AppleCare probably isn’t worth it, as you can simply buy any needed repair parts for cheaper than the cost of the AppleCare plan, and fix the device yourself. Of course, this is heavily dependent on what fails. <P> Mac desktops: AppleCare for desktops is relatively inexpensive, which might make it tempting, but it’s still not really worth it when you figure that you’ll probably plop your computer down in one place and keep it there for a while. <P> Display support: If you buy AppleCare support for your Apple display for $99, the plan will extend your support to three years. Beside the display itself, it covers the built-in camera, mic, and speakers; and the power cord. It also includes telephone assistance. <P> AppleCare (or AppleCare+ for iPhones, iPads, and some iPods) is an insurance policy for your devices. You pay an up-front cost to cover any potential problems. But more precisely, AppleCare plans extend the length of your hardware coverage for both repairs and support. <P> Extended warranties are like insurance for your electronics and devices. In some cases yes, and in some cases no. AppleCare is probably worth it for some people, while it may not be for others, but before we get to that, let’s review the details of Apple’s extended warranty, in more detail. Apple offers a free, standard warranty with every new purchase, which supplies a year of coverage on hardware. <P> How long it extends support: For Macs and displays, AppleCare gets you a total of three years’ support—in other words, it extends phone support by 33 months and the limited warranty by two years (for a total of three years). <P> On nearly all of their mainstream products, Apple offers an extended warranty program called AppleCare. From there, each AppleCare protection plan is priced accordingly based on the product that it covers, or protects. <P> I don't think AppleCare is worth it, when for just a little bit more you can get something like Squaretrade. That not only covers regular failures, but it will also cover me if I drop my laptop, or spill my pop on it, or any other accidental happening. AppleCare doesn't cover accidental damage at all.	AppleCare is probably worth it for some people, while it may not be for others
heater cost propane site:www.troublefreepool.com	<P> A NG heater is much cheaper to run that a LP heater. For comparison, a gallon of propane is about equal to a therm of NG in terms of BTU output (~100,000). The average cost of a therm of NG is $1.00 (mine is $0.77) and the average cost of LP is $3.00 (mine is $2.75). <P> I would estimate that the heater would only need to run about 5 to 10 minutes per day. At a run time of 10 minutes, that would allow 120 days of use on 72 gallons of propane. Also, the price of LP gas varies, so your cost will also depend on what your price is. <P> Lots of variables here 1) Cost per gallon for LP 2) Size of heater 3) Size of pool, in gallons and surface area 4) Temp desired 5) Use of a Solar Cover or Rings 6) Plumbing and equipment My 300K enjoys its diet of about 3 gallons per hour when it's firing. <P> Re: Heater (Pool or Spa) Cost of operation of Propane heater. JB beat me but our answer is the same. The heater is rated for BTU/H so in 6 hrs you used 2,400,000 BTU's or about 26 gallons of propane. Propane has about 91,500 btu per gallon so that heater will use about 4 gallons per hour. <P> At $1.50 a therm, it would cost around $5 to get that same 10 degrees. If you use propane, it would heat the pool in the same amount of time as the NG, and cost about $10-$11, about the same as the Heat pump, but do it in 20% of the time. I have heat pump, I know what they can do. <P> Re: Heater (Pool or Spa) Cost of operation of Propane heater. Thanks for the input. I guess using cowboy arithmetic I can pretty well assume $10/hr in 2013 propane prices of $2.35 in my area. Part of the cost of enjoying a pool. <P> I think it is close to this: 1 gallon propane = ~ 92,000 BTU Heater = ~400,000 BTU/hour So in 6 hours, you used 2,400,000 BTU / 92,000 = 26 gallons of propane = $61 Your specific question: 400,000 BTU/hr / 92,000 BTU/gallon = 4.35 gallons / hr ... <P> I have a propane heater for my spa and it really can get expensive. Propane delivered to my 120 gallon tank at my house is about $5 a gallon when you include all the surcharges (environmental fee, delivery fuel surcharge, tank rental, and billing fee).	Average $1.00
difference between an associate degree and a diploma	<P> The difference between an associate's degree and a diploma in accounting lies in required coursework. Both programs offer introductory accounting courses and lay a basic foundation in the subject, but associate's programs often require completion of more credit-hours than diploma programs. Read on to find out more. Credits earned through an associate's degree program in accounting count toward a bachelor's degree later. Some associate's degree programs piggy-back with what's known as a 2+2 program, which awards an associate's degree after the first two years of study and then a bachelor's degree after another two years. <P> Diploma vs Associate Degree. A Diploma is one type of certification, and an Associate degree is another type. Diploma and Associates degree, as the name specifies, are different in many aspects. There is no confusion between the two, as the difference is very specific. A Diploma can be said to be a document awarded to a student after completion of a course. On the other hand, community colleges and universities award the Associates degree. With an Associates degree, a student has to study many things outside his major, like basic English, history, humanities and mathematics. On the other hand, a Diploma focuses mainly on the specific skills of a student. <P> An Associate's degree is a two year co … llege degree, similar to the British Foundation degree. They are usually offered by institutions like Community Colleges and vocational schools, which do not offer Bachelor's or higher degrees. An associates degree is much, much more valuable than a diploma. There aren't a lot of career options for people with just a diploma. Get the associates degree and you won't regret it. Answer The higher the degree, the more doors that will be opened to you. <P> 24 0 23 0 5. Whether to pursue an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree is a highly personal decision based on a variety of factors. Here are the top five differences between the two degrees to consider as you contemplate your options. Note: Often credits earned for an associate’s degree will transfer to a bachelor’s degree program. So if you already have an associate’s degree, check with your school’s credit transfer policies to see if you can fast-track your bachelor’s degree and finish it up in just two years instead of four. <P> A degree program differs from certificates and diploma programs in that it often requires the student to take general education courses to support a more rounded education. For instance, at many universities, those earning their bachelor's degree are required to take English, math, science, philosophy and history. Degree Overview. An academic degree can be earned at many levels, including the associate's (two years); bachelor's (four years); master's (two years beyond a bachelor's degree); and doctoral, which is several years beyond a master's degree. <P> The differences in an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree at any college, including ABAC are: Associate's Degrees are two-year degrees.Bachelor's Degrees are four-year … degrees.Credits earned for an Associate's Degree may or may not be applicable to a four year degree. A diploma is 1-2 years in length. An associates degree is 2 years in length. Diplomas are not very impressive. Associates degrees are much more valuable than diplomas, and the … y only require a few more classes than a diploma. <P> Programs at the associate's degree level are similar to those at the bachelor's degree level. They may include studies in fields such as art and design, business, communication, digital animation, dental hygiene, culinary arts, automotive repair, electronics, social work and health information technology. Associate's degree programs commonly take two years to complete and are usually dedicated toward a specific career. However, general studies may be taken at this level as a jumpstart toward a bachelor's degree program. <P> The differences in an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree at any college, including ABAC are: Associate's Degrees are two-year degrees.Bachelor's Degrees are four-year … degrees.Credits earned for an Associate's Degree may or may not be applicable to a four year degree.

what is the itworks coconut oil	<P> VCO-Virgin Coconut Oil. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a natural oil produced from fresh coconut without the use of chemical or heat treatment resulting in a clear, water-color oil that contains phytonutrients that could be beneficial to health. <P> Coconuts are an excellent source of nutrition and have healthful meat, juice, and oil. The oil is arguably the most nutritious and has many health benefits. Coconut oil is over 90% saturated fat and has antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Coconut oil also has antioxidant properties and it helps in the absorption of other minerals. Coconut oil is an incredible source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which have been shown to have many health benefits. Coconut oil is the most nutrient dense part of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature like butter. It doesn’t break down in heat or light or become rancid like many oils, and in my opinion has a wonderful tropical smell. <P> Coconut oil is high in saturated fat and can increase cholesterol. When applied to the skin, it has a moisturizing effect. Coconut oil is safe for most people if used in amounts commonly found in foods. It also appears to be safe when applied to the scalp in combination with other herbs. Its high saturated fat content can cause weight gain and increase cholesterol. The safety of coconut oil used in medicinal amounts is unknown <P> Organic Coconut Oil: The coconut oil that has been extracted from coconuts obtained from coconut palms raised only on organic manure and no synthetic fertilizers or insecticides. The production of organic coconut oil is also completed without involving any chemical in its extraction or processing. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Fortunately, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin from the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. <P> Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrients for your hair.

It has been shown that lauric acid increases the good HDL cholesterol in the blood to help improve cholesterol ratio levels. <P> Coconut oil, due to its high lauric acid content, is actually beneficial to the body. It is also fascinating to note that countries like Thailand eat very high amounts of saturated fats like coconut oil and lard, and have very low levels of disease on average. Coconut oil is the most nutrient dense part of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature like butter. It doesn’t break down in heat or light or become rancid like many oils, and in my opinion has a wonderful tropical smell. <P> Coconut oil will not clog pores and it absorbs readily into the skin so it works very well as a carrier oil for dry, itchy or sensitive skin.

Coconut Oil. 1 Coconut Oil is the natural oil derived from coconuts. 2 Coconut Oil has a defatting effect on skin which is overcome by using coconut oil-deprived esters rather than the oil itself. 3 Surfactants derived from coconut oil have good cleansing properties and are generally known to be mild. <P> However, coconut oil is still high in calories and saturated fat. Coconut oil has more saturated fat than lard does. Short-term studies have suggested medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, do not raise serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as much as do long-chain fatty acids. The few small studies that have looked at coconut oil for weight loss suggest that coconut oil may help reduce waist size, but it doesn't lead to significant weight loss or improved body mass index (BMI). Coconut oil is a tropical oil that's made from the dried fruit (nut) of the coconut palm tree. <P> Labels on coconut oil include the terms “organic,” “virgin,” and “extra-virgin.” Organic oils are extracted by mechanical pressing of the meat after it has been heat-dried. Virgin coconut oil is not processed in any way, such as bleaching or deodorizing. Coconut oil is extracted from the meat of coconuts — the thick, white interior lining of a coconut. It is a solid when it’s cooler than 76 degree Fahrenheit. It’s similar in texture to vegetable shortening.	It is a natural oil produced from fresh coconut without the use of chemical or heat treatment resulting in a clear, water-color oil that contains phytonutrients that could be beneficial to health.

what is a inflamed shoulder tendon	<P> Tendonitis of the shoulder is an inflammation of the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon. Shoulder tendonitis is usually the result of a tendon being pinched by surrounding structures. <P> Tendons are thick cords that join your muscles to your bones. When these tendons become irritated or inflamed, it is called tendinitis. This condition causes acute pain and tenderness, making it difficult to move the affected joint. Tendinitis can be a result of an injury, repetitive movement, aging, or disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis. <P> Shoulder tendonitis (or tendinitis) is an inflammation injury to the tendons of your shoulder's rotator cuff. Because inflammation is not always present in injuries to the shoulder tendons, this group of injuries are medically known as a rotator cuff tendinopathy or tendinopathies. Rotator Cuff Impingement, where your rotator cuff tendon impacts against the acromion bone, should not occur during normal shoulder function. However, when repeated shoulder impingement occurs, your rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and swollen, a condition called shoulder tendonitis. <P> Long head of biceps tendonitis is an inflammation or irritation of the upper biceps tendon. This strong, cord-like structure connects the upper end of the biceps muscle to the bones in the shoulder. Pain in the front of the shoulder and weakness are common symptoms of biceps tendonitis. The tendon in these late stages is often dark red in color due to the inflammation. Occasionally, the damage to the tendon can result in a tendon tear, and then deformity of the arm (a Popeye bulge in the upper arm). Normal shoulder anatomy. <P> Tendinitis (also called tendonitis) is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon, a thick cord that attaches bone to muscle. Exercises for OA of the Knee. <P> Anatomy: Four muscles are part of the rotator cuff surrounding the shoulder joint, and controls, coordinates and assists movement of the shoulder: M supraspinatus (the upper shoulder blade muscle), M infraspinatus, M subscapularis and M teres minor. <P> Sometimes, excessive use of the shoulder leads to inflammation and swelling of the bursa between the rotator cuff and part of the shoulder blade known as the acromion. The result is a condition known as subacromial bursitis. A tendon is a cord that connects muscle to bone. Most tendinitis is a result of a wearing down of the tendon that occurs slowly over time, much like the wearing process on the sole of a shoe that eventually splits from overuse. Generally, tendinitis is one of two types: 1 Acute. <P> Shoulder Tendonitis. Shoulder Tendonitis or Tenosynovitis is a degenerative condition of any of the tendons surrounding the shoulder joint usually the rotator cuff tendons but can also occur in the biceps and triceps tendons. The exact movement which causes most pain will indicate which tendon or tendons are inflamed. For example rotator cuff injuries will be painful when rotating the shoulder and biceps tendonitis when flexing or moving the shoulder upwards. <P> A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving parts: muscles, tendons, or skin. Bursae are found throughout the body. Bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed (redness and increased fluid in the bursa). A tendon is a flexible band of fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon. Tendons transmit the pull of the muscle to the bone to cause movement. They are found throughout the body, including the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis may cause rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis. Sports involving overuse of the shoulder and occupations requiring frequent overhead reaching are other potential causes of irritation to the rotator cuff or bursa, and may lead to inflammation and impingement. <P> Rotator Cuff Disease: Tendinitis and Bursitis. In tendinitis of the shoulder, tendons become inflamed (red, sore, and swollen) from being pinched by parts around the shoulder. Bursitis occurs when the bursa—a small fluid-filled sac that helps protect the shoulder joint—is inflamed. Bursitis is sometimes caused by disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The shoulder joint is made up of bones held in place by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons are tough cords of tissue that hold the shoulder muscles to bones. They help the muscles move the shoulder. Ligaments hold the three shoulder bones to each other and help make the shoulder joint stable.	Tendonitis of the shoulder is an inflammation of the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon.

at what age can chickens start layer feed	<P> Once chickens reach the point where they start laying eggs (usually about 18 – 20 weeks of age) you can start them on a layer food. We feed our chickens layer pellets or crumble rather than a scratch mix as we find there is less waste with layer pellets. <P> Assuming they’ve enjoyed good food and care, the young hens, called pullets, begin laying sometime between their 16th and 24th week of age. You can anticipate the arrival of eggs soon! Discovering a hen’s first egg from your own hand-raised chicks is a thrill. Pullet eggs are tiny and look like gems in the nest. If your pullets are over 16 weeks of age, now is the time to switch them to a Nutrena® layer feed, as laying hens need special nutrition. Producing eggs places great nutritional strain on a hen’s body. Just think of the calcium she is giving up each time she lays an egg <P> LAYER FEED, 18 weeks and older (The Big Girls). Layer feed is available in mash, crumble and pellet forms, all of which describe the size of the feed. Mash is the smallest, pellets, the largest. Layer feed contains 16-18% protein and has added calcium, which is necessary for eggshell production. Laying hens can be fed layer ration as early as 18 weeks or as late as the arrival of their first egg, but should not be fed to birds younger than 18 weeks old. Most new chicken-keepers wonder at what age a chick can be given treats, but there is no specific age at which it is appropriate. Chicks are tiny and treats will replace a percentage of the nutrition in starter ration that their rapidly-growing bodies require. <P> Different hens/breeds begin laying at different ages; it can vary by a month or two or more. Do not start feeding layer feed until they actually lay their first egg; otherwise, you'll be giving them excess calcium that their bodies cannot use and will do damage to them for life. They also need less protein once they begin laying. Breathes there a woman with soul so dead who never once looked up and said, <P> Part 3 of 4: Feeding Laying Hens. 1. Begin feeding your laying hens layer feed at 20 weeks of age. You can also use all-purpose feed; however, layer feed can have up to 2 percent more protein and more calcium content to promote better eggshells. You will need 18 to 24 lbs. (8 to 11 kg) of feed per week for 10 chickens. <P> If you’re raising layer hens: From when your chicks hatch until six weeks of age, feed your chicks a starter feed that has a protein level of 20-22 percent. Once the chicks hit six weeks of age, feed them pullet grower (14 to 16 percent protein) until age 20 weeks. After that, switch your hens to layer feed with a protein level of 15 to 18 percent. (MONEY-SAVING SECRET: Layer feed is often expensive. It can be costly, to both your budget and your chickens’ health! The University of California-Davis recommends the following for feeding layer hens: 1 Chick starter: 2 to 2.9 lbs. 2 per chick for the first six weeks. 3 Pullet grower: 12 to 13 lbs. 4 per pullet for approximately 14 weeks. 5 Layer feed: 1.8 to 2.4 lbs. <P> Hi Tara. When hens begin eating layer feed (any time after 18 weeks of age) they should be provided with oyster shell free-choice (in a separate dish, not mixed into the feed). It should remain available to them 24/7 so they may eat it when they feel their bodies need it. Most new chicken-keepers wonder at what age a chick can be given treats, but there is no specific age at which it is appropriate. Chicks are tiny and treats will replace a percentage of the nutrition in starter ration that their rapidly-growing bodies require. <P> Layer feed should not be fed to chickens younger than 18 weeks unless they have begun egg-laying because it contains calcium that can permanently damage the kidneys, cause kidney stones, reduce lifetime egg production and shorten a bird's lifespan. Most new chicken-keepers wonder at what age a chick can be given treats, but there is no specific age at which it is appropriate. Chicks are tiny and treats will replace a percentage of the nutrition in starter ration that their rapidly-growing bodies require. <P> Chicken starter is fed for the first six weeks of life. After that, the feeding program is fairly flexible. Either chicken grower or finisher can be fed from 6 weeks until the birds start laying (e.g. 20 weeks), or chicken grower can be fed for the stage of 6-14 weeks and chicken finisher from 14 weeks to maturity. If the layers are being raised together with the broilers, then they can follow the same feeding program as the broilers to simplify feeding. Start the layer mash when the hens first start laying, or at 20 weeks of age (whichever is first).	Six weeks

is the phospholipid bilayer permeable	<P> Lipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. The structure is called a lipid bilayer because it composed of two layers of fatty acids organized in two sheets. The lipid bilayer is typically about five nanometers to ten nanometers thick and surrounds all cells providing the cell membrane structure. <P> The bilayer, most of which is a phospholipid bilayer, is permeable only to small, non-polar substances. In nature, the most common compounds to pass through the bilayer are carbon dioxide and oxygen. <P> The lipid bilayer is the main fabric of the membrane, and its structure creates a semi-permeable membrane. The hydrophobic core impedes the diffusion of hydrophilic structures, such as ions and polar molecules but allows hydrophobic molecules, which can dissolve in the membrane, to cross it with ease. <P> Figure 1. Permeation through a pure lipid bilayer. Only a limited number of molecules can cross biological membranes without the aid of transport proteins. Membrane impermeant molecules and ions require the aid of membrane transport proteins in order to cross the membrane. <P> The lipid bilayer moiety of biological membranes is considered to be the primary barrier to free diffusion of water and solutes. This conclusion arises from observations of lipid bilayer model membrane systems, which are generally less permeable than biological membranes. <P> We've learned about how our body uses this partnership in the mitochondria, digestive system, capillary blood... show more well, the entire question for biology is: A semi-permeable phospholipid bilayer in partnership with the processes of facilitated diffusion and active transport provides a valuable tool for our body. <P> Phospholipids serve a major function in the cells of all organisms: they form the phospholipid membranes that surround the cell and intracellular organelles such as the mitochondria. The cell membrane is a fluid, semi-permeable bilayer that separates the cell's contents from the environment, see animation below. <P> The lipid bilayer is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These membranes are flat sheets that form a continuous barrier around all cells. <P> Examples include gas molecules such as oxygen (O 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2), steroid molecules, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Surprisingly, some small polar molecules are capable of permeating the lipid bilayer without the aid of a membrane transport protein.	Permeable only to small, non-polar substances.
cooking oil to fry fish	<P> 1 Place only 2 or 3 fish in the pan at one time so that they are not crowded. 2 Frying too many at one time cools the oil down too much, causing the fish to absorb more oil. 3 Fry the fish for 5 to 8 minutes on the first side. 4 Turn over and cook another 4 to 7 minutes. Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method including baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. <P> 1 Place the floured fish in the hot oil. 2 Place only 2 or 3 fish in the pan at one time so that they are not crowded. 3 Frying too many at one time cools the oil down too much, causing the fish to absorb more oil. 4 Fry the fish for 5 to 8 minutes on the first side. Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method including baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. <P> You will need a 3-quart heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer for frying the fish. Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of the pan. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Make the Batter. 1 In a shallow dish add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and set it aside. <P> 1 Place only a few pieces of fish in the pan at one time so that they are not crowded. 2 Frying too many at one time cools the oil down too much, causing the fish to absorb more oil. 3 Fry consistent size pieces together so they cook evenly. 4 Fry the fish for 3 to 5 minutes on the first side. Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method including baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. <P> Next, coat fish with flour. The wetness of the egg will help hold the flour on the fish. During cooking, the protein in the egg binds the flour to the fish to help keep the coating attached. 3. Fry fish in oil 6-8 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily and is brown on both sides. Fish cooks very quickly, especially the thinner tail sections, so be careful not to overcook. Remove with slotted spatula; drain on paper towels. What you’ll need: Ingredients for Pan-fried Fish Fillets 12-inch nonstick skillet Small bowl Shallow dish Wire whisk or fork Slotted spatula Paper towels How to: 1. Pour about 1/8 inch oil into skillet; set on medium heat. Cut fish into 6 pieces and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. <P> I am defining frying as cooking in enough oil so that half of the piece of fish is under the oil as it cooks. Best choices for this are regular olive oil for Mediterranean recipes, vegetable oil for American dishes, and peanut oil for Asian food. Frying is also where you can use lard or butter. If you are deep-frying, or submerging the fish or seafood in oil, use the same thing as you would in a regular fry. I like canola oil, as it is neutral-tasting and inexpensive. You could use any vegetable oil, however. This is also a good place for specialty oils. Specialty oils also have a limited place in fish and seafood cooking. The two I use most often are walnut oil and sesame oil. <P> Pan-frying fish is, perhaps, the most delicious way to cook any non-fatty fish. The coating protects the flesh from direct heat and helps keep the fish moist, while also providing a browned and crispy or crunchy crust. Yet, the method avoids the large amount of oil (not to mention the mess) required for deep frying. <P> //d5kh2btv85w9n.cloudfront.net/e/ef/Cook for a Southern Fish Fry Step 8 Version 2.360p.mp4. 9. Remove the last of your fish, and begin dropping the hushpuppies into the hot oil. Use a spoon to dip batter from your bowl (or other container), then, holding it just above the oil, let it slide off of your spoon. Ease pieces of fish into the hot oil one at a time until it is near its cooking capacity, being careful to avoid splashing the oil. http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/1/18/Cook-for-a-Southern-Fish-Fry-Step-5-preview-Version-2.jpg/550px-Cook-for-a-Southern-Fish-Fry-Step-5-preview-Version-2.jpg. <P> Pan-frying. 1 Place the floured fish in the hot oil. 2 Fry the fish for 5 to 8 minutes on the first side. 3 When the fish is done its skin should be browned and crisp. 4 Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel lined platter so the grease can drain. 5 Add more oil if cooking additional fish. Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method including baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. <P> Heat the pan until the oil slides around easily in the pan. You can also splatter a few drops of water in the pan -- if the water sizzles and pops, it’s ready for your fish. Place the fish flesh side down in the pan. You want to cook the “presentation” side of the fish first.	Olive oil for Mediterranean recipes, vegetable oil for American dishes, and peanut oil for Asian food.

Rayon is known by the names viscose rayon and art silk (abbreviated from “artificial silk”) in the textile industry. It usually has a high luster quality giving it a bright shine. Modal is the second generation and is known for its softness. <P> Today rayon is one of the most widely used fabrics in our society. It is made in countries around the world. It can be blended with natural or man-made fabrics, treated with enhancements, and even engineered to perform a variety of functions. <P> Rayon is a natural-based material that is made from the cellulose of wood pulp or cotton. This natural base gives it many of the characteristics—low cost, diversity, and comfort—that have led to its popularity and success. <P> Most rayon is made by the viscose process. Viscose Process Most commercial rayon manufacturing today utilizes the viscose process. This process dates to the early 1900s, with most of the growth in production occurring between 1925 and 1955. <P> Trade names are used within the rayon industry to label the type of rayon in the product. Viscose Rayon was first produced in Coventry England in 1905 by Courtaulds. Bemberg, is a trade name for cupramonium rayon developed by J. P. Bemberg. <P> Regular or viscose rayon is the most prevalent, versatile and successful type of rayon. It can be blended with man-made or natural fibers and made into fabrics of varying weight and texture. It is also highly absorbent, economical and comfortable to wear.	Viscose rayon and Art silk.
what is a blood glucose spike definition	<P> This is because the beta cells of the pancreas are unable to provide enough insulin to keep the blood sugar levels in the normal range. When people with diabetes find their blood sugar level to be unexpectedly high, they might call it a spike. This typically happens after eating a rich meal or a sequence of rich meals. by rich I mean high in starch and/or sugar plus animal fat. <P> A sugar crash or glucose crash is the fatigue after consuming a large quantity of carbohydrates, also known as reactive hypoglycemia. Symptoms associated with sugar crashes are similar to those experienced during periods of hypoglycemia, though not as severe. This is because the difference between usual and post-meal blood glucose levels is not as large as in diabetic cases of <P> After-meal, or “postprandial,” spikes are temporary high blood glucose levels that occur soon after eating. It is normal for the level of glucose in the blood to rise a small amount after eating, even in people who do not have diabetes. A common approach to lowering after-meal blood glucose spikes is to take more insulin. But unless blood glucose levels remain high for three to six hours after eating, taking more insulin is not going to solve the problem. <P> This is especially true since blood sugar spikes are more associated with long-term diabetes complications than readings you get when your blood sugar is more stable. The truth is that nearly anything that has carbohydrates will cause some type of spike in your blood sugar. What makes blood sugar levels spike besides the type of carbohydrate you eat and how you cook it is what you eat with the carbohydrate. If you eat a carbohydrate by itself, it has a higher potential to raise your blood sugar than if you were to eat it with protein or fats. <P> The use of the word sugar in blood sugar is a colloquial term, a misnomer. Glucose, one type of sugar, is the one in the bloodstream that feeds cells and matters to us. Sugar is a simple, crystalline, edible carbohydrate and comes in a variety of forms, all of them sweet. Blood sugar or blood glucose refers to sugar that is transported through the bloodstream to supply energy to all the cells in our bodies. The sugar is made from the food we eat. <P> Even though after-meal blood glucose spikes are temporary, several spikes a day, day after day, can raise your glycosylated hemoglobin, or A1C level, and a high A1C level has been shown to raise the risk of long-term diabetes complications. A common approach to lowering after-meal blood glucose spikes is to take more insulin. But unless blood glucose levels remain high for three to six hours after eating, taking more insulin is not going to solve the problem. <P> Carbohydrates and Blood Sugar Levels. The main nutrient group that makes your blood sugar spike after a meal is carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include both sugars and starches, which are both converted to sugar, or glucose, when your body digests them in your gastrointestinal tract. If you do not have diabetes, a target of less than 100 mg/dL before a meal and below 120 mg/dL two hours after eating is more appropriate. A blood sugar spike means that your blood sugar levels go above the desired range. <P> Blood sugar spikes are sudden and relatively large increases in an individual's blood sugar levels. People generally experience spikes in their blood sugar after eating, especially if the meal was particularly sweet. Although spikes normally go beyond the usual blood sugar threshold of 180 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), those that measure 350mg/dL or more are considered to be dangerous. <P> Blood sugar spikes may occur after eating, especially if a meal was sweet. Drinking water may help dilute excess sugar in the body. Blood sugar spikes may cause dizziness. 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar may be helpful in lowering blood sugar during spikes. Low blood sugar can often cause fatigue. Extremely high or low blood sugar can lead to coma. A large blood sugar spike may cause a person to lose consciousness. People generally experience spikes in their blood sugar after eating, especially if the meal was particularly sweet. Although spikes normally go beyond the usual blood sugar threshold of 180 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), those that measure 350mg/dL or more are considered to be dangerous. <P> When your blood sugar drops, your body releases stored sugar -- mainly from the liver -- and overcompensates. If your blood sugar level drops in the middle of the night, this overproduction of sugar can cause a high level in the morning. This is called the Somogyi effect. First, look at food. What you ate the night before may be behind the blood sugar spike -- for example, if you ate much more than you usually eat, or if the amount of food was more than your medications are made to handle.	When people with diabetes find their blood sugar level to be unexpectedly high, they might call it a spike.This typically happens after eating a rich meal or a sequence of rich meals.
what is meter in poetry definition	<P> Definition of METER for Kids. 1. : a planned rhythm in poetry that is usually repeated. 2. : the repeated pattern of musical beats in a measure. <P> Poetic Meter is determined by the number of feet in a line of poetry or the number of occurrences of a given Poetic Rhythm in a line.

what is nystagmus	<P> Nystagmus is an involuntary condition in which the eyes make rapid, repeated, uncontrolled movements. These eye movements may be in any direction including horizontally, vertically, or rotationally (in a circle). Many people with nystagmus do not experience visual symptoms. <P> Nystagmus /nɪˈstaeɡməs/ nɪˈstæɡməs is a condition of (involuntary or, voluntary in rare) cases eye, movement acquired in infancy or later in, life that may result in reduced or limited. vision Nystagmus may be caused by congenital disorders, acquired or central nervous system disorders, toxicity, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, or rotational movement. Previously considered untreatable, in recent years several pharmaceutical drugs have been identified for treatment of nystagmus. <P> Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary, rapid movement of one or both eyes. The eye(s) may move from side to side, up and down, or in a circular motion. Nystagmus is often accompanied by vision problems, including blurriness. It is common for individuals with this condition to tilt their heads to compensate for their difficulty seeing. <P> Physiological nystagmus is a form of involuntary eye movement that is part of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), characterized by alternating smooth pursuit in one direction and saccadic movement in the other direction. Nystagmus may be caused by congenital disorders, acquired or central nervous system disorders, toxicity, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, or rotational movement. Previously considered untreatable, in recent years several pharmaceutical drugs have been identified for treatment of nystagmus. <P> Nystagmus is a vision condition in which the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements, often resulting in reduced vision. These involuntary eye movements can occur from side to side, up and down, or in a circular pattern. 1 Pendular nystagmus-the speed of movement of the eyes is in same in both directions. 2 Jerk nystagmus-the eyes move slowly in one direction and then quickly jerk back in the other direction. <P> Nystagmus can be further classified by the type of motion the eyes make: 1 Pendular nystagmus-the speed of movement of the eyes is in same in both directions. 2 Jerk nystagmus-the eyes move slowly in one direction and then quickly jerk back in the other direction. 1 <P> Nystagmus most commonly causes the eyes to look involuntarily from side to side in a rapid, swinging motion rather than staying fixed on an object or person. Some nystagmuses, however, cause the eyes to jerk sideways or up and down. Acquired nystagmus can be caused by a disease (multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, diabetic neuropathy), an accident (head injury), or a neurological problem (side effect of a medication). Hyperventilation, a flashing light in front of one eye, nicotine and even vibrations have been known to cause nystagmus in rare cases.	Nystagmus is an involuntary condition in which the eyes make rapid, repeated, uncontrolled movements.
diseases caused by s. pyogenes	<P> Causes. Rheumatic fever can occur after an infection of the throat with a bacterium called Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococcus. Group A streptococcus infections of the throat cause strep throat or, less commonly, scarlet fever <P> Causes of scarlet fever. Scarlet fever is caused by a bacterium called Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. This is the same bacterium that causes strep throat. When the bacteria release toxins scarlet fever symptoms occur, including the rash, Pastia's lines, red tongue and flushed face. Other types strains of Streptococcus pyogenes linked to either skin infections, such as impetigo, or uterine infections that may occur during childbirth may also cause scarlet fever-however, this is much rarer. <P> In addition to infections of the upper respiratory tract and the skin, S pyogenes can cause a wide variety of invasive systemic infections. Along with Staphylococcus aureus, group A streptococcus is one of the most common pathogens responsible for cellulitis. S pyogenes also has the potential to produce outbreaks of disease in younger children in daycare. Rheumatic fever is most frequently observed in the age group most susceptible to group A streptococcal infections (ie, children aged 5-15 y). <P> Streptococcus pyogenes is not a bacteria that should be taken lightly. Many people carry the bacteria without incident, however it has the potential to cause both mild and severe diseases. Streptococcus pyogenes has claimed many lives, including that of Muppet's creator, Jim Henson. Other symptoms include fever and chills, swollen glands, blistering of the skin, and malaise.[3]. Figure 5. Redness and swelling caused by cellulitus. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, but very serious infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes that is popularly termed flesh eating bacteria. <P> S. pyogenes can also cause disease in the form of postinfectious nonpyogenic (not associated with local bacterial multiplication and pus formation) syndromes. These autoimmune-mediated complications follow a small percentage of infections and include rheumatic fever and acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis. Examples of mild S. pyogenes infections include pharyngitis (strep throat) and localized skin infection (impetigo). Erysipelas and cellulitis are characterized by multiplication and lateral spread of S. pyogenes in deep layers of the skin. <P> A ubiquitous organism, S pyogenes is the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis, accounting for 15-30% of cases in children and 5-10% of cases in adults. During the winter and spring in temperate climates, up to 20% of asymptomatic school-aged children may be group A streptococcus carriers. S pyogenes also has the potential to produce outbreaks of disease in younger children in daycare. Rheumatic fever is most frequently observed in the age group most susceptible to group A streptococcal infections (ie, children aged 5-15 y). <P> Overview. The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant cause of human disease, most often associated with infections of the respiratory tract, blood, and skin. It is estimated that streptococcus results in about 10 million mild throat and skin infections each year, according to the National Institutes of Health. Strep Pharyngitis. Known as strep throat, this disease can have symptoms similar to viral sore throats. MedlinePlus sites Streptococcus pyogenes as the most common cause of bacterial sore throats. Symptoms usually involve a low-grade or moderate fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a beefy, red throat with draining white patches. Children may also complain of headache and stomach ache <P> Background. Infection with Streptococcus pyogenes, a beta-hemolytic bacterium that belongs to Lancefield serogroup A, also known as the group A streptococci (GAS), causes a wide variety of diseases in humans.

what are kidneys made of	<P> Confidence votes 2.2K. The kidney is made of a majority of cells called nephrons. These are the basic cellular unit of the kindey. Nephrons filter out the toxins from the blood stream and produce urine. There are various chemicals that control the actions of the kidney. Some of these cause more of less water to be retained by the kidneys. Kidneys are internal organs whose function is to filter waste (primarily uric acid) out of the blood. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They … are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. <P> Most people know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. If the kidneys' ability to filter the blood is seriously damaged by disease, wastes and excess fluid may build up in the body. Although many forms of kidney disease do not produce symptoms until late in the course of the disease, there are six warning signs of kidney disease: 1 High blood pressure. <P> A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus or nephrolith, is a solid piece of material which is formed in the kidneys from minerals in urine. Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream, and a small stone may pass without causing symptoms. Diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Clinical diagnosis is usually made on the basis of the location and severity of the pain, which is typically colicky in nature (comes and goes in spasmodic waves). <P> The kidneys are surrounded by a layer of adipose that holds them in place and protects them from physical damage. The kidneys filter metabolic wastes, excess ions, and chemicals from the blood to form urine. Ureters. The ureters are a pair of tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. The ureters are about 10 to 12 inches long and run on the left and right sides of the body parallel to the vertebral column. <P> Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small pebbles..

treaty of waitangi signing what happened on the day james busby	<P> Signed on 6 February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is a founding document of government in New Zealand, and established the country as a nation. A draft treaty was drawn up and translated in a few days. After a day of debate by the Māori Chiefs, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6, 1840, at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. Forty-three Northland Chiefs signed the Treaty on that day and about 500 more signed as it, and copies of the original, were taken throughout the country in the following months <P> The Treaty of Waitangi (Māori: Tiriti o Waitangi) is a treaty first signed on 6 February 1840 by representatives of the British Crown and various Māori chiefs from the North Island of New Zealand. Almost 150 years after the signing of the Treaty, the government tried to give judicial and moral effect to the document by defining another, new version, the spirit or intent of the treaty through specifying the principles of the Treaty. <P> The Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement made in 1840 between representatives of the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs. It resulted in the declaration of British sovereignty over New Zealand by Lieutenant Governor William Hobson in May 1840. Most chiefs signed a Māori-language version of the treaty. Hobson arrived at the Bay of Islands on 29 January 1840. With the help of his secretary, James Freeman, he drew up some notes for a treaty. James Busby, the British Resident (an official position), tidied these up and added to them. <P> He drafted the Declaration of the Independence of New Zealand and at a meeting in October signed it together with 35 chiefs from the northern part of New Zealand. After the arrival of William Hobson, he co-authored with him the Treaty of Waitangi. It was signed on 5 and 6 February 1840 on the lawn outside his residence. Busby and his family left Waitangi that year. Life [edit]. He was born in Scotland, the son of English engineer John Busby and mother Sarah Kennedy. His family emigrated from Britain to New South Wales in 1824. On his arrival in Sydney, Busby was appointed a teacher of viticulture at the Male Orphans School at Bald Hills near Liverpool. <P> After the initial signing at Waitangi, copies of the Treaty were taken around New Zealand and over the following months many other chiefs signed. In total there are nine copies of the Treaty of Waitangi including the original signed on 6 February 1840. Almost 150 years after the signing of the Treaty, the government tried to give judicial and moral effect to the document by defining another, new version, the spirit or intent of the treaty through specifying the principles of the Treaty. <P> Watch Witi Ihimaera and director Peter Burger talk about Waitangi-What Really Happened on Breakfast The Treaty Of Waitangi must be the most sacred, revered and talked about document in New Zealand history. <P> 1840 Treaty of Waitangi signed.

how long does it take for a sprained ankle to heal?	<P> It usually takes 5 to 14 days to recover from a grade one ankle sprain. This is when slight stretching and damage occurs to the ligaments. With a grade one sprain, there is slight instability, pain, swelling, joint stiffness, and trouble walking. Grade two sprains can take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. This involves partial tearing of the ligaments. Signs of a grade two sprain include instability, moderate to severe pain, swelling, stiffness and possible bruising. Grade three sprains can take 8 to 12 weeks to heal. This is a complete tear of the ligament. With grade three sprains, there is a lot of instability within the joint, severe pain when the injury occurs and no pain after injury, severe swelling and excessive bruising <P> As you can imagine, that's going to really impact just how long it takes for that ligament to heal itself back together. General rule of thumb, say for ankle sprain, perhaps a grade one: two, three weeks; grade two: four weeks; and a grade three: sometimes four, six weeks -- sometimes longer. Comments. . Answer: Well, when considering how long it might take for a sprain to heal, you need to consider that there are varying degrees of sprain injuries. There's a grade one, where the ligament that holds the joint in place is stretched <P> In more severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will probably have extreme pain at first and will not be able to walk or even put weight on your foot. Usually, the more pain and swelling you have, the more severe your ankle sprain is and the longer it will take to heal. 1 \| 2 \| 3. 1\|2\|3. This damages the ligaments on the inside of the ankle. An ankle sprain can range from mild to severe, depending on how badly the ligament is damaged and how many ligaments are injured. With a mild sprain, the ankle may be tender, swollen, and stiff. But it usually feels stable, and you can walk with little pain. <P> Report Abuse. A sprained ankle can take from 2 weeks to 2 months to feel completely healthy again. Some sprains will actually take longer than a broken ankle to heel. This is all dependant on how bad you twisted and pulled the tendons and ligaments in your ankle. There are 2 very important steps to recovering quickly and fully from a sprained ankle. Best Answer: ya as a football player i sprain my ankle all the time. but the key to how long it takes to recover is how bad the sprain is. the best treatment for any sprain is simple stretches. by rotating and bending your ankle with out any pressure u can start loosening the muscles and speed up the recovery. <P> Most grade 2 sprains take four to six weeks to heal. A grade 3 sprain is the most serious injury with the longest healing/recovery time. A sprain of this severity can easily take 8 to 12 weeks or even longer to heal completely. Physicians usually immobilize the joint and prescribe physical therapy, just as with a grade 2 sprain. <P> Grade 3 Sprain. A grade 3 sprain is the most serious injury with the longest healing/recovery time. A sprain of this severity can easily take 8 to 12 weeks or even longer to heal completely. Physicians usually immobilize the joint and prescribe physical therapy, just as with a grade 2 sprain. <P> Home Treatment. Ankle sprains take an average of 6 weeks to heal but can take can up to 4 months, depending on the severity. An ankle brace, air stirrup, hiking boots, or other form of ankle support should be worn during this time to protect the ligaments. Some people who have repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems. Rehabilitation (rehab) exercises for an ankle sprain can be done at home to promote proper healing and prevent chronic pain and instability.	5 to 14 days

where are upper motor neurons located	<P> There are upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, with the cell type described above being a lower motor neuron. Upper motor neurons are cortico-spinal interneurons that arise from the motor cortex and descend to the spinal cord where they activate the lower motor neurons through synapses. <P> A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a nerve cell (neuron) whose cell body is located in the spinal cord and whose fiber (axon) projects outside the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands. Upper motor neurons are cortico-spinal interneurons that arise from the motor cortex and descend to the spinal cord where they activate the lower motor neurons through synapses. <P> (May 2010). Upper motor neurons are motor neurons that originate either in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or in the brain stem and carry motor information down to the lower motor neurons. The fibers of the upper motor neurons project out of the precentral gyrus ending in the brainstem, where they will decussate (intersect) within the lower medulla oblongata to form the lateral corticospinal tract on each side of the spinal cord. <P> Recall that upper motor neurons project via the corticospinal tract to lower motor neurons located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Signs of lower motor neuron lesions include weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and hyporeflexia (reduced reflexes). <P> I. Lower and Upper Motor Neurons. Lower motor neurons are neurons that directly innervate skeletal muscle. The cell bodies of these neurons are located within the ventral horns of the spinal cord and within brainstem motor nuclei. <P> 5.Upper motor neurons are first-order neurons whilst lower motor neurons are second-order neurons. 6.The cell bodies of the upper motor neurons are located in the cortex of the brain and the cell bodies of the lower motor neurons are located in the grey matter of the spinal cord and brain stem. The cell bodies of the lower motor neurons are located in the neuraxis, and their axons leave and synapse with the muscles in the body. On the other hand, the upper motor neurons synapse with the lower motor neurons as they are unable to leave the central nervous system. <P> These neurons connect the brain to the appropriate level in the spinal cord, from which point nerve signals continue to the muscles by means of the lower motor neurons. The neurotransmitter glutamate transmits the nerve impulses from upper to lower motor neurons, where it is detected by glutamatergic receptors. The fibers of the upper motor neurons project out of the precentral gyrus ending in the brainstem, where they will decussate (intersect) within the lower medulla oblongata to form the lateral corticospinal tract on each side of the spinal cord. <P> Lower motor neurons, or second order neurons are cranial and spinal nerves. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in the brain stem, but their axons can leave the central nervous system and synapse with the muscles of the body. In order to reach the muscles, motor commands generated in the central nervous system must travel on upper motor neurons and synapse with lower motor neurons. Upper motor neuron s (UMN) are a type of first order neuron. They are unable to leave the central nervous system. <P> In summary, the upper motor neurons of the left motor cortex innervate the lower motor neurons of the right body. A stroke or other lesion involving all of the corticospinal fibers from the left cerebral cortex produces weakness of the right upper and lower limbs (right hemiparesis). Lower motor neurons are neurons that directly innervate skeletal muscle. The cell bodies of these neurons are located within the ventral horns of the spinal cord and within brainstem motor nuclei. <P> Upper motor neuron: A neuron that starts in the motor cortex of the brain and terminates within the medulla (another part of the brain) or within the spinal cord. Damage to upper motor neurons can result in spasticity and exaggerated reflexes. There is no standard laboratory test for upper motor neuron disease.	In the precentral gyrus ending in the brainstem.

what are official eye colours	<P> Human eye color charts once were used to predict eye colors of children. In the most simplified versions of these charts, brown eyes are considered dominant over both blue and green eyes. And green eyes are thought to be dominant over blue eyes. <P> Most Common Eye Colors. Brown. The eye color that can be described as the most common amongst human beings is brown, with the exception of countries around the Baltic Sea. It is the result of the presence of large amounts of melanin (eumelanin) within the iris stroma. <P> Blue eyes are quite common amongst people, especially those born in Germany, Netherlands, Iceland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Estonia. The reason behind this eye color is low amounts of melanin within the iris stroma. <P> Eye colors depend on the amount of pigment (melanin) found in the iris and how it is distributed. Light gray-blue eyes contain much less pigment than extremely dark brown eyes. And there are many shades of eye color in between.

Gray eye color is considered to be a darker shade of blue (like blue-green). This eye color is related to low melanin in the iris and is related to scant pigmentation throughout the body (like pale skin, light hair, etc). Gray eyes have been found to reveal small amounts of yellow and brown color in the iris. <P> Hazel eyes are similar to brown eyes, although they are typically lighter in color, and have more of a green-yellow tint. Hazel eyes have a higher concentration of melanin (pigment) around the eye's border, which can result in a multi-colored appearance that varies between copper and green depending on the lighting. <P> Brown eyes are the most common eye color in the world with over 55% of the world's population having brown eyes.

And there are many shades of eye color in between.
how long does it take cement to dry for a sidewalk	<P> To allow concrete to cure correctly, keep it wet and warm at temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit for the first week at least. Concrete that does not cure properly can shrink, crack or even develop a dusty, weak and crumbly surface. 1 Keeping the concrete covered with wet burlap or straw for seven days is likely to discourage walking across it, especially if you cordon off the area around it. 2 Disallow pet access to the surface during the first three days. <P> Depending on if it's quick dry or not, the average is 24-48 hours depending on humidity. After 24 hours, it should be rigid enough that they can't press into it with a stick or their fingers. If it is quick drying, after 12 hours, I think it should prevent most kids from sticking their hands onto it. It was poured at about 11:00am today and it is about 9pm...

Bull Float – a tool comprising a large, flat, rectangular piece of wood, aluminum, or magnesium usually 8 inches wide and 48 inches long and a handle 4 to 16 feet in length used to smooth unformed surfaces or freshly placed concrete. Cubic Yard – Unit of measure for ready mix concrete. 1 Start with a minimum of 2 people for a 1 cubic yard pour. 2 Add one person for each additional cubic yard of concrete. 3 If you are using wheelbarrows to move the concrete form the truck to the forms, add an additional person. <P> How long should I let the new concrete cure before walking on it? A: Generally speaking, concrete and other Portland cement-based products should be moist-cured for at least 5 to 7 days. Check the product packaging for specific instructions. One alternative to moist-curing is using an Acrylic Concrete Sealer. <P> Wind, humidity, and sunlight are all factors in how long it takes for concrete to cure, walking, normally about 1 to 2 days. 5. How long does it take for concrete to cure enough to drive on? Again, wind, humidity, and sunlight are all factors but the standard is about 5 to 7 days. 1 Start with a minimum of 2 people for a 1 cubic yard pour. 2 Add one person for each additional cubic yard of concrete. 3 If you are using wheelbarrows to move the concrete form the truck to the forms, add an additional person. <P> · just now.

Thumbs up <P> Depending on the type of concrete used and the size of the sidewalk it will take anywhere from 24-72 hours before it can be walked on. The edges of driveways that will bear more weight may need longer. Check with the instructions provided by the manufacturer for specific dry and cure times. <P> Concrete gets progressively harder over time its called curing. However it depends on several thing like temperature and moisture. You can typically walk on concrete the next day but it can be prone to scratching. I generally have my customers wait two days to walk on it and 7-10 days to drive. In summer time on hot days concrete can cure to fast and crack within hours <P> Report Abuse. What you describe as concrete is actually mortar. Sand and cement combine to mix mortar. (used ro setting bricks, for example) Sand and cement and an aggregate (small rocks) combine to make concrete. Any cementatious product reaches full cure in 29 days. Full cure being structurally safe, for example, that is when a tilt-up concrete wall can savely be lifted into place. It is mortar not concrete. If it dries too quickly it will loose strength which may or may not matter too much, say for brickwork. Rendering mortar, or mortar on roofs should ideally be kept damp for a week or so, especially if the weather is dry and windy.	24-72 hours.
aneuploidy definition genetics	<P> The occurrence of one or more extra or missing chromosomes leading to an unbalanced chromosome complement, or, any chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number. Definition from: GeneReviews from the University of Washington and the National Center for Biotechnology Information. <P> Normal females have two X chromosomes, while normal males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The characteristics of the chromosomes in a cell as they are seen under a light microscope are called the karyotype. It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes, which is called euploidy. An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders, including some human birth defects. Some cancer cells also have abnormal numbers of chromosomes. <P> Aneuploidy Changes in chromosome number can occur by the addition of all or part of a chromosome (aneuploidy), the loss of an entire set of chromosomes (monoploidy) or the gain of one or more complete sets of chromosomes (euploidy). Aneuploidy. Aneuploidy-the abnormal condition were one or more chromosomes of a normal set of chromosomes are missing or present in more than their usual number of copies. Monoploidy-the loss of an entire set of chromosomes. Euploidy-an entire set of chromosomes is duplicated once or several times. <P> Numerical abnormalities (aneuploidy from GHR,) can occur with either the autosomes or the sex chromosomes. Monosomy is the absence of a chromosomal region or entire chromosome resulting in only one copy of the genetic material. Sex chromosome Aneuploidy: Turner syndrome (45,X). Turner syndrome (45,X) is caused by complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome. Approximately 50% have complete loss <P> aneuploid. adj. 1. (Genetics) (of polyploid cells or organisms) having a chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number, caused by one chromosome set being incomplete. n. 2. (Genetics) a cell or individual of this type. an·eu·ploid. adj. Having a chromosome number that is not a multiple of the haploid number for the species. n. A cell or an organism characterized by an aneuploid chromosome number. <P> Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, such as having 45 or 47 chromosomes when 46 is expected. It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes, which is called euploidy. An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders, including some human birth defects. Some cancer cells also have abnormal numbers of chromosomes. Aneuploidy originates during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly between the two cells <P> Aneuploidy: gain or loss of a chromosome(s) such that the number of chromosomes is not a multiple of 23 (the human haploid number). Can be due to two main mechanisms: 1) Non-disjunction. 1 Definition: failure of chromosomal separation in anaphase of either meiosis or mitosis. 1 Can occur during meiosis or mitosis. 2 Normally, individuals are disomic for each gene (meaning the dosage of each gene is two). 3 Common aneuploid abnormalities are monosomy (loss of one chromosome) and trisomy (gain of an extra chromosome). <P> Aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is the second major category of chromosome mutations in which chromosome number is abnormal. An aneuploid is an individual organism whose chromosome number differs from the wild type by part of a chromosome set. For example, the aneuploid condition 2 n − 1 is called monosomic (meaning “one chromosome”) because only one copy of some specific chromosome is present instead of the usual two found in its diploid progenitor. The aneuploid 2 n + 1 is called trisomic ,2 n − 2 is nullisomic, and n + 1 is disomic.	(of polyploid cells or organisms) having a chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number, caused by one chromosome set being incomplete.

when was vicodin invented	<P> Vicodin is made of a combination of hydrocodone, a synthetic opiate, and acetaminophen, a non-steroidal pain reliever. Aside from the euphoric and addictive effects of hydrocodone, there is about half a gram of acetaminophen in each pill, and two to four grams of acetaminophen in a day can start to damage the liver. There is a range of effects from Vicodin <P> History of Vicodin: Hydrocodone or Vicodin was created by German scientists in the mid 1920's. They did this by bonding a hydrogen atom to codeine molecules. It was approved for sale in the United States under the brand name Hycodan in 1943. Today it is known as Vicodin. In 1984 Vicodin was approved for sale by the FDA. <P> Vicodin was first manufactured in 1920. Vicodin is the combination of Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. The generic name of Vicodin is hydrocodone. No one really knows when the shovel was invented nor whom it was invented by. There are archeological findings of animal scapulas (shoulder blades) that were used as crude sho … vels that date around Neolithic times or the New Stone Age, which is around 12,000 years ago. <P> Report Abuse. Vicodin (hydrocodone)is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two of the naturally occurring opiates, codeine and thebaine. Dihydrocodeine was a precursor to the invention of hydrocodone, which was synthesized originally as an antitussive (Capable of relieving or suppressing coughing) in the 1920s. Hard to find information on exactly WHEN it was invented... I kept getting sites about history over overdose. <P> First created in the 1920’s by German pharmaceutical company Knoll, Hydrocodone is created by attaching a hydrogen atom to codeine molecules. When it was first released, Knoll believed that this process would make the codeine easier on the stomach and less toxic to the user. As we move through the 21st century, hydrocodone addiction remains a growing problem in our community. At Michael’s House, we possess a deep understanding of Hydrocodone and what it means to be in the grasp of this highly addictive drug. <P> Vicodin is made up of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (same as Tylenol), usually at a ratio of 1:100 hydrocodone to acetaminophen. So if you had 7.5 mg of hydrocodone, you would … have 750 mg of acetaminophen. 9 people found this useful. No one really knows when the shovel was invented nor whom it was invented by. There are archeological findings of animal scapulas (shoulder blades) that were used as crude sho … vels that date around Neolithic times or the New Stone Age, which is around 12,000 years ago. <P> By the late 1970s, Knoll released branded Vicodin on the market, containing 5 mg of hydrocodone in combination with 500 mg of acetaminophen. By the early 1980s, Vicodin costs descended, as generic versions of the drug debuted.	Mid 1920
