what is the liquid in blisters
|
<P> A blister is a collection of clear fluid trapped between or beneath the top layer of skin, the epidermis. Blisters, which are often called “water blisters,” often break open and the fluid inside is released onto the skin. Blisters, also known as vesicles, can occur in all age groups and populations. Blisters can form anywhere on the body, including inside the mouth, nose and genitals. Blisters can occur in isolation or you may develop hundreds of tiny blisters that affect several areas of the body. Blisters can be very tiny and hardly noticeable or quite large, reaching a quarter inch in diameter or larger. <P> Report Abuse. A blister is a bubble of fluid under the skin. The clear, watery liquid inside a blister is called serum. It leaks in from neighboring tissues as a reaction to injured skin. If the blister remains unopened, serum can provide natural protection for the skin beneath it. Small blisters are called vesicles. Blood if it is a blood blister, pus if it is infected, or serum which is the part of the blood that remains after red blood cells and clotting agents have been removed, is the clear stuff that is usually in blisters. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: A blister is a bubble of fluid under the skin. The clear, watery liquid inside a blister is called serum. It leaks in from neighboring tissues as a reaction to injured skin. If the blister remains unopened, serum can provide natural protection for the skin beneath it. Small blisters are called vesicles. Report Abuse. A blister or bulla is a defense mechanism of the human body. When the outer (epidermis) layer of the skin separates from the fibre layer (dermis), a pool of lymph and other bodily fluids collect between these layers while the skin re-grows from underneath.. Lymph is what it is. <P> Most blisters caused by friction or minor burns do not require a doctor's care. New skin will form underneath the affected area and the fluid is simply absorbed. Do not puncture a blister unless it is large, painful, or likely to be further irritated. The fluid-filled blister keeps the underlying skin clean, which prevents infection and promotes healing. Symptoms. Treatment. 1 Use a sterilized needle or razor blade (to sterilize it, put the point or edge in a flame until it is red hot, or rinse it in alcohol). 2 Wash your hands and the area thoroughly, then make a small hole and gently squeeze out the clear fluid. <P> Introduction. Blisters are small pockets of fluid that usually form in the upper layers of skin after it's been damaged. Blisters can develop anywhere on the body but are most common on the hands and feet. Fluid collects under the damaged skin, cushioning the tissue underneath. <P> A blister is a bubble of skin filled with clear fluid, ranging from pinpoint size to more than an inch in diameter. They are different than pustules, which contain thicker, yellow-white material. Depending on the cause, blistering may be accompanied by pain, redness, or itching. <P> For vesiculation in geology, see vesicular texture. A blister is a small pocket of fluid within the upper layers of the skin, typically caused by forceful rubbing (friction), burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection. Most blisters are filled with a clear fluid called serum or plasma. However, blisters can be filled with blood (known as blood blisters) or with pus (if they become infected). The word blister entered English in the 14th century. It came from the Middle Dutch bluyster, and was a modification of the Old French blostre which meant a leprous nodule—a rise in the skin due to leprosy.

<P> Timothy Thiele. Understanding electrical wire lettering will help you decide which type wire is best for the installation that you are using. There are many different types of insulation used for residential use. Some of the most commonly used are THHN, THWN, THW and XHHN. THWN is flame-retardant and heat resistant. Its insulation can be used in dry, and damp locations. This is not to be used in wet locations however. <P> THWN Dual Rating. 1 All of our THWN electrical wire is dual rated with THHN wire because they're manufactured very similar with almost no cost difference. 2 It's the most standard type of electrical wire on the market because it's used as a single condutor electrical wire and also used in most electrical cables as well. 1 All of our THWN electrical wire is dual rated with THHN wire because they're manufactured very similar with almost no cost difference. 2 It's the most standard type of electrical wire on the market because it's used as a single condutor electrical wire and also used in most electrical cables as well. <P> THHN, THWN and THW are all types of single conductor electrical wire used in homes and buildings to deliver power. Years ago, each acronym was a completely different wire with different approvals. <P> THWN wire refers to a specific type of insulation material, temperature rating, and condition of use for electrical wire and cable. It is the most common type of electrical wire due to its use as a single conductor wire while also being used in most electrical cables. The conductors are used in commercial and industrial applications specified in the National Electrical Code. THWN wire is often used in alternating current electrical distribution systems of many different types of buildings in North America. This is usually at voltage levels of 110-600 volts. Aluminum and copper conductors, sold as stranded or solid, use THWN insulation. <P> Types. THHN wires come in two basic formats -- stranded and solid core. As a stranded cable, THHN is available in sizes from 14 awg to 750 kcmiL, and as a solid cable in sizes 14 to 10 awg. It is generally manufactured in copper or aluminum. Save. Window framed with wires & tube image by diter from Fotolia.com. THHN stands for thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon coated. This is a type of insulated electrical wire suitable for a variety of low-to mid-voltage applications and can safely handle a load of up to 600 volts. <P> The most popular type of building wire is Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon coated (THHN) wire. This building wire, as defined by the National Electrical Code, is for use in construction. Engineers also commonly use THHN in machine tools, control circuits and some appliances. THHN wire comes in a variety of types. <P> Wire with THHN insulation is commonly used in the alternating current (AC) electrical distribution systems of all types and sizes throughout North America, usually at voltage levels (potential difference or electromotive force) ranging from 110-600 volts. 1 Leg as in “hot leg” refers to one of multiple hot conductors in an electrical system. 2 The most common residential and small commercial service in Canada and the U.S., single split-phase, 240 V, features a neutral and two hot legs, 240 V to each other, and 120 V each to the neutral. <P> THWN Electrical Wire. THWN Wire is a type of electrical wire most commonly used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders and branch circuits in commercial applications. It can be used outdoors because it's water, gas and solvent resistant thanks to its PVC/Nylon insulation. 1 All of our THWN electrical wire is dual rated with THHN wire because they're manufactured very similar with almost no cost difference. 2 It's the most standard type of electrical wire on the market because it's used as a single condutor electrical wire and also used in most electrical cables as well.

cost of a house extension
|
<P> You may have heard that the rule of thumb is £1,000 per m2. However, this figure has been bandied about for rather a long time now! From experience, £1,200 per m2 is a now a more realistic estimate for a house extension cost in 2015 and reflects price increases over the last few years. So, for your 4 x 5m extension, the build cost would be roughly £24,000. <P> Councils get submissions for house extensions regularly and have calculated the average costs. As a rough guide, expect to pay: Keep in mind that these are averages only. A timber ground floor extension in one home might cost $1000m2 and $1500 in another home. Last Updated: Topic: Home Extensions, Renovation Costs. The cost of house extensions can be cheaper than the cost of moving to a larger home and may even add more value to your home than their initial cost. However, there are significant costs involved, some of which may be budget busters if not anticipated. <P> This home extension may cost beyond your expectation but with careful budgeting and having rough idea of the actual amount, you will soon have that extra room you need for your growing family. The house extension price should also include any planning fees as well as the price of the building materials. You need to know about the building regulations so as to comply with it in regards to the location of sewers and other infrastructure. For example a single storey 25 square meter extension may cost £33,000, a two storey extension will be around £53,000. There are several home extension ideas to select from that will suit your budget. *These prices are from Samson Awnings as at March 2013 and have been update since then. <P> ARTICLE Stephanie Matheson. A same level house extension in Australia will cost approximately $60,000 to $200,000+. Adding a room or extending your living area on the ground floor are affordable ways of creating more space. Here are some key points to consider that will help you keep your renovation costs in check. Renovation costs for a same level extension are roughly between $60,000 and $200,000 depending on your situation, including material, labour and project management (ready to move in). As a rough guideline, earmark around $60,000 for a one-bedroom addition to your home. <P> As a rough idea you can typically say that it will cost at least £1000 per m 2 or 93 per ft 2 including basic plumbing and electrician work. This price is per unit area of internal floor space and so a 5x4m single floor extension will have a total floor area of 20m 2 and a double storey will have 40m 2. The price per square metre also depends on the size of the property. There are basic costs that don't increase too much with size and hence the cost per square metre will decrease as the floor area increases. The price for a home extension depends on several factors. 1 Where you are in the country. <P> Whatprice provide a useful cost calculator (below), or better still why not use our FREE quotation service to get an accurate cost for building an extension. With the extension cost calculator you can get a quick, free, rough estimate of at least some of the costs involved in building extra room(s) for your house. <P> According to a customer the average cost of a home extension is £25,000.

When a glass is Engraved (scratching into the surface of the glass) or deeply carved with a professional sand blaster, you will have to hand wash these items. A: Armour Etch is NOT made to etch solid large areas of glass. It is stated in all of our instructions and books. It is impossible to evenly coat a piece of glass all at the same time. Therefore, wherever you apply the Armour Etch to first will start to etch immediately upon contact. <P> Precision Metal Fabricating without Stress Chemical etching is a method of fabricating metal components that relies on an acidic solution to dissolve unwanted metal. Stamping and punching utilize hardened steel tools to shape metal parts. Photo etching is also known as chemical etching and photo chemical machining. It evolved in the 1950s as an off-shoot of printed circuit board fabrication, and the production process is very similar. <P> Etching is used in microfabrication to chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer during manufacturing. Etching is a critically important process module, and every wafer undergoes many etching steps before it is complete. If the etch is intended to make a cavity in a material, the depth of the cavity may be controlled approximately using the etching time and the known etch rate. More often, though, etching must entirely remove the top layer of a multilayer structure, without damaging the underlying or masking layers. <P> Links to epoxy floor web sites and other non acid floor prep options.

where do shetland ponies originate from
|
<P> Perhaps the oldest breed of horse in Britain is the Shetland Pony. Named after the islands where it originated, it is now one of the most popular ponies in the world. The little Shetland is probably so shaggy because it was conditioned by its environment. <P> Shetland Ponies are hardy and strong, in part because the breed developed in the harsh conditions of the Shetland Isles. In appearance, Shetlands have a small head, sometimes with a dished face, wide spaced eyes and small and alert ears. <P> Shetland ponies originated in the Shetland Isles, located northeast of mainland Scotland. Small horses have been kept on the Shetland Isles since the Bronze Age. People who lived on the islands probably later crossed the native stock with ponies imported by Norse settlers. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The Shetland has its origin on Shetland island. They were used (especially the smaller individuals) to pull coal carts out of the mines where their small size allowed them to fit in smaller places. Larger individuals could be ridden. <P> The Shetland pony is a breed of pony originating in the Shetland Isles. Shetlands range in size from a minimum height of approximately 28 inches (7.0 hands; 71.12 cm) to an official maximum height of 11 hands (44 inches, 112 cm) at the withers (11.2 hands (46 inches, 117 cm) for American Shetlands). Shetland ponies have heavy coats, short legs and are considered quite intelligent.

Have added this one to my keepers for homemade mixes which I find are so superior to a good many of the purchased-as this one is. <P> Cajun and creole are very similar. Creole seasoning is like Tony Chachere's seasoning. Look at http://www.cajunspice.com/seasoning/inde... to buy some online. It is great. I do not own salt and pepper in my house. I only have Tony's in my house. Also, Zatarain's is good creole seasoning. They also have a website. Just googoe Zatarain's <P> From Nola Cuisine. Another staple in my kitchen is a good Creole Seasoning.

programs to make scanned smaller file size
|
<P> On the other hand, if you want to continue to scan the text to a picture file, there are a number of picture file types and the best for your purpose would be a .jpg file. It's a compressed file which results in a good picture but with a smaller file size. <P> How to reduce size of PDF file created from document scanned on printer using Home Center Software. Published 08/25/2010 11:38 AM | Updated 04/25/2011 12:43 PM | Answer ID 1738. When a document is scanned on a KODAK All-in-One Printer, it is saved uncompressed at the resolution selected in the Home Center. You can lower the scan resolution (dpi), which will result in a smaller file size. However, the ability to compress a PDF file is not a feature of the Home Center Software. There are various third-party applications that feature file compression. Here are some applications that can compress PDF files: <P> Before covering how to reduce the size of scanned documents in detail, let’s discuss four factors that affect the size of scanned images: 1 Scanning Resolution. 2 A scan at 600 dpi results in a much larger file than at 300 dpi. 3 Color Space. 1 Color and grayscale files result in much larger files than black and white files. 2 Physical dimensions of the scanned page. 3 A legal-size scan will be larger than a letter-size scan, with all other factors being equal. 4 Compression. 5 Raw scan data can be compressed to make it smaller. <P> 1 A scan at 600 dpi results in a much larger file than at 300 dpi. 2 Color Space. 3 Color and grayscale files result in much larger files than black and white files. 4 Physical dimensions of the scanned page. 5 A legal-size scan will be larger than a letter-size scan, with all other factors being equal. 1 Color and grayscale files result in much larger files than black and white files. 2 Physical dimensions of the scanned page. 3 A legal-size scan will be larger than a letter-size scan, with all other factors being equal. 4 Compression. 5 Raw scan data can be compressed to make it smaller. <P> When you scan a document onto your computer using a flatbed scanner, the size -- in terms of physical dimensions and bit size, or the amount of space the document takes up on the computer's hard drive -- is generally larger than necessary for the document's recipient to make use of the document.

what are the uses of diamonds in australia
|
<P> Small quantities of alluvially deposited diamonds have been known in Australia since the late 19th century, first found by prospectors searching for gold. However, no source volcanic pipe deposit was apparent. A systematic search of Western Australia for the source of these diamonds began in 1969. Argyle is the largest diamond producer in the world by volume, although due to the low proportion of gem-quality diamonds it is set to close by 2020. It is the only known significant source of pink diamonds, producing over 90% of the world's supply. <P> Diamonds. Diamonds are crystalline carbon and the hardest known substance. This photo shows diamonds from the Argyle Mine in northern Western Australia. Diamonds are brought to the surface from the mantle in a rare type of magma called kimberlite and erupted at a rare type of volcanic vent called a diatreme or pipe. Most of the diamonds are from the Argyle diamond pipe in northern Western Australia. The pipe at Argyle is made of lamproite, not kimberlite. The mine produced 27.8 million carats (1 ct = 200 mg; 5 carats = 1 gram) of low grade diamonds in 1993-1994. <P> The quality of diamonds can be split broadly into gem, near gem, industrial and boart categories. In rare cases 90% of diamonds in a deposit are of gem quality; but most economic deposits contain 20 to 40% gem quality diamonds. Cutting and polishing of a rough diamond may start with 'cleaving' (splitting) a diamond along its grain (weaker crystal planes) to divide it into smaller pieces or remove flaws and impurities. Very thin circular metal blades impregnated with diamond dust or lasers are used to saw across the grain of diamond. <P> The carbon atoms in diamonds are arranged in a strong, tetrahedral structure. Diamond is the hardest natural material known and is often used for industrial cutting and polishing tools. Diamond has a hardness of 10 on Mohs scale of mineral hardness, with 1 being the softest (talc) and 10 being the hardest. <P> Because diamonds are very hard (ten on the Mohs scale) they are often used as an abrasive. Most industrial diamonds are used for these purposes. Small particles of diamond are embedded in a saw blade, a drill bit or a grinding wheel for the purpose of cutting, drilling or grinding. They might also be ground into a powder and made into a diamond paste that is used for polishing or for very fine grinding. Gem diamonds are stones with color and clarity that make them suitable for jewelry or investment use. These stones are especially rare and make up a minor portion of worldwide diamond production. Gemstone diamonds are sold for their beauty and quality. <P> Australia is currently the world's largest producer of diamonds. Most of these diamonds are low quality and used for industrial purposes. Most of the diamonds are from the Argyle diamond pipe in northern Western Australia. The pipe at Argyle is made of lamproite, not kimberlite. The mine produced 27.8 million carats (1 ct = 200 mg; 5 carats = 1 gram) of low grade diamonds in 1993-1994. <P> Diamond Uses You Would Never Know! When people think of diamonds, they tend to think of jewelry, such as diamond rings, earrings, or necklaces. However, as the hardest naturally occurring substance on the planet, diamonds are used for many other, commonly unknown, purposes as well. Keep reading to learn about the unusual uses of diamonds. <P> Diamonds. Diamonds are crystalline carbon and the hardest known substance.

what causes necrotizing fasciitis
|
<P> Necrotizing fasciitis is caused by several kinds of bacteria. Some of these bacteria also cause infections such as strep throat and impetigo. Usually the infections caused by these bacteria are mild. But in rare cases they can cause a more dangerous infection. Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection caused by bacteria. It can destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles within a very short time. The disease sometimes is called flesh-eating bacteria. When it occurs on the genitals, it is called Fournier gangrene. Necrotizing fasciitis is very rare but serious. <P> Necrotizing fasciitis is most commonly caused by an infection with group A Streptococcus, commonly known as “flesh-eating bacteria.” This is the fastest moving form of the infection. When this infection is caused by other types of bacteria, it typically does not progress as quickly and is not quite as dangerous. Several types of bacteria cause necrotizing fasciitis. The most common and well-known type is group A Streptococcus. However, this is not the only type of bacteria that can cause this infection. Other causes include: 1 aeromonas hydrophila. <P> Causes of Necrotizing Fasciitis. Necrotizing fasciitis is commonly caused by group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteria. That's the same type of bacteria that causes strep throat. However, several types of bacteria, such as staphylococcus and others, have also been associated with the disease. Necrotizing fasciitis occurs when such bacteria infect the superficial fascia, a layer of connective tissue below the skin. <P> Necrotizing Fasciitis Causes. Necrotizing fasciitis is caused by bacteria in the vast majority of cases, though fungi can also rarely lead to this condition as well. Many cases of necrotizing fasciitis are caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes), either individually or along with other bacterial pathogens. Group A streptococcus is the same bacteria responsible for strep throat , impetigo (skin infection), and rheumatic fever. In many cases of necrotizing fasciitis, there is a history of prior trauma, such as a cut, scrape, insect bite, burn, or needle puncture wound. These lesions may initially appear trivial or minor. Surgical incision sites and various surgical procedures may also serve as a source of infection. <P> Many types of bacteria can cause necrotizing fasciitis (e.g., Group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) , Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Vibrio vulnificus, Aeromonas hydrophila). <P> Necrotizing fasciitis is caused by several kinds of bacteria. Some of these bacteria also cause infections such as strep throat and impetigo. Usually the infections caused by these bacteria are mild. But in rare cases they can cause a more dangerous infection. You can get necrotizing fasciitis when bacteria enter a wound, such as from an insect bite, a burn, or a cut. You can also get it in: 1 Wounds that come in contact with ocean water, raw saltwater fish, or raw oysters, including injuries from handling sea animals such as crabs. Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection caused by bacteria. It can destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles within a very short time. The disease sometimes is called flesh-eating bacteria. When it occurs on the genitals, it is called Fournier gangrene. Necrotizing fasciitis is very rare but serious. <P> Necrotizing Fasciitis is a kind of bacterial skin infection that is known as Flesh-eating syndrome or Flesh-eating disease. It is a condition in which there is an infection of the deeper skin layers and subcutaneous tissues. <P> Primary Cause of Necrotizing fasciitis. The primary cause of Necrotizing fasciitis is the result: 1 of transmission from another person under rare circumstances, such as immunocompromised people or during surgery with contaminated surgical tools, or according to rare circumstances as noted from reputable sources.

what is asperger disease
|
<P> More than likely, an abnormality in the brain is the cause of Asperger syndrome. Genetic factors may play a role, since the disorder tends to run in families. A specific gene has not been identified. Asperger syndrome is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main difference between Asperger syndrome and autistic disorder is that children with Asperger syndrome do not have speech or cognitive delays. The condition appears to be more common in boys than in girls. <P> 1 Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder that impacts on a person's communication and socialization abilities. 2 A person with Asperger's syndrome has difficulty responding to the body language, facial expressions and tone of voice of others-leading to anxiety and confusion. Asperger's syndrome differs from other ASDs in that the symptoms are less severe and there is no language delay. A child with AS generally has good language and cognitive (thinking, intelligence) skills. <P> Asperger's syndrome, a developmental disorder, is an ASD (autism spectrum disorder). It impacts on the individual's ability to communicate and socialize, among other things. According to the National Institutes of Health 1, children with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) retain their early language skills. Asperger's syndrome differs from other ASDs in that the symptoms are less severe and there is no language delay. A child with AS generally has good language and cognitive (thinking, intelligence) skills. <P> Asperger syndrome is a form of autism, which is a lifelong disability that affects how a person makes sense of the world, processes information and relates to other people. Autism is often described as a 'spectrum disorder' because the condition affects people in many different ways and to varying degrees. Here we explain more about Asperger syndrome-a form of autism-including the three main difficulties that people with Asperger syndrome share, how many people have the condition, and what may cause it. As soon as we meet a person we make judgements about them. <P> Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) considered to be on the “high functioning” end of the spectrum. Affected children and adults have difficulty with social interactions and exhibit a restricted range of interests and/or repetitive behaviors. <P> Although there are many possible symptoms of Asperger's syndrome, the main symptom is significant trouble with social situations. Your child may have mild to severe symptoms or have a few or many of these symptoms. Because of the wide variety of symptoms, no two children with Asperger's are alike. <P> The symptoms of Asperger's syndrome vary and can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include: 1 Problems with social skills: Children with Asperger's syndrome generally have difficulty interacting with others and often are awkward in social situations. 2 They generally do not make friends easily. 3 They have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversation. Although Asperger's syndrome is similar in some ways to autism -- another, more severe type of PDD -- there are some important differences. <P> Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. The diagnosis of Asperger's was eliminated in the 2013 fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and replaced by a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder on a severity scale. <P> Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's syndrome, also called Asperger's disorder, is a type of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) . PDDs are a group of conditions that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination. Although Asperger's syndrome is similar in some ways to autism -- another, more severe type of PDD -- there are some important differences.

what is a plural noun
|
<P> The difference between singular and plural nouns is simple once you know what to look for. Here, we take a look at singular and plural nouns, providing both singular nouns examples and plural noun examples to help you recognize plural nouns when you see them. What is a Plural Noun. The answer is a relatively easy one, as grammar goes. A plural noun is a word that indicates that there is more than one person, animal place, thing, or idea. When you talk about more than one of anything, you’re using plural nouns. When you write about more than one of anything, you usually use the same word, simply adding an s, es, or ies to the end <P> Most English nouns are very predictable (or regular) in the spelling of the plural form-you just add an 's' or 'es' which make 'regular' plural words. But there are always exceptions to the rule and these are referred to a 'irregular plural nouns! 1 If the noun ends with a ch, s, sh, x, or z add an 'es' to make it plural-examples: churches, boxes, witches, witnesses. 2 If the noun ends with a letter y and the letter before the y is a consonant. 3 change the letter y to a letter i then add es to make it a plural. 4 Examples: Sky to Skies & Army to Armies. <P> Contrast with singular. Although the English plural is commonly formed with the suffix-s or-es, the plural of some nouns (such as sheep) is identical in form to the singular (see zero plural), while some other nouns (such as dust) have no plural form. See Examples and Observations below. Also see: <P> An irregular plural noun is an irregular noun in the plural form. An irregular noun is a noun that becomes plural by changing its spelling in other ways than adding an “s” or “es” to the end of the word. This change can happen in a variety of ways. Below you’ll find examples and guidelines to help you. Examples of Irregular Plural Nouns. Some irregular nouns take on the plural form by first changing the last letter of the word before adding “s.” Words that end in “f” are a good example of this case. To make such a word plural, you change the “f” to “ve” and add an “s.”. Plural nouns that end in ves: <P> Plural of nouns typically denote a quantity other than the default quantity represented by a noun, which is generally one (the form that represents this default quantity is said to be of singular number). <P> Singular Nouns. Of all the different types of nouns, learning to recognize singular nouns and understanding when to use them is hands down the easiest. There are no particular rules to follow…you don’t have to add letters to the end or change the spelling as you do with plural nouns and irregular plural nouns. Examples of Singular Nouns. If you look at one object and name it, you have an example of a singular noun. For example there is one lamp on my bookcase and one chair at my desk. In these examples the nouns lamp, bookcase, chair, and desk are all singular because they indicate only one. <P> Definition & Meaning. A Plural noun means more than one item. Examples of plural nouns are beds, boys, girls, books and cats. They are created by adding a letter 's' to the end of a word or by adding 'es' such as in churches, boxes or witches. 1 If the noun ends with a ch, s, sh, x, or z add an 'es' to make it plural-examples: churches, boxes, witches, witnesses. 2 If the noun ends with a letter y and the letter before the y is a consonant. 3 change the letter y to a letter i then add es to make it a plural. 4 Examples: Sky to Skies & Army to Armies.

Transportation : 'For hire ' transporter that (1) serves all customers without discrimination, (2) provides scheduled service to designated points or within a designated area, (3) carries only the type of cargo for which it is certified, and (4) is named as the carrier in the contract of carriage. You should find a good common carrier so that you can always rely on the service they offer and not worry about it. 10 people found this helpful. I wanted to have a common carrier instal the cable in my house, and it had to be one that I trusted a lot. <P> Under US law, an ocean freight forwarder cannot act as a common carrier. The term common carrier is a common law term, seldom used in continental Europe because it has no exact equivalent in civil-law systems. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted ministerial authority by the legislation that created it. <P> common carrier. n. an individual, a company, or a public utility (like municipal buses) which is in the regular business of transporting people and/or freight. This is distinguished from a private carrier which only transports occasionally or as a one-time-only event. (See: carrier). COMMON CARRIER, contracts. One who undertakes for hire or reward to transport the goods of any who may choose to employ him, from place to place. 6. A common carrier of goods is in all cases entitled to demand the price of carriage before he receives the goods, and, if not paid, he may refuse to take charge of them; if, however, he take charge of them without the hire being paid, he may afterwards recover it. <P> A common carrier is distinguished from a contract carrier (also called a public carrier in UK English), which is a carrier that transports goods for only a certain number of clients and that can refuse to transport goods for anyone else, and from a private carrier. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted ministerial authority by the legislation that created it. <P> A common carrier must further demonstrate to the regulator that it is fit, willing, and able to provide those services for which it is granted authority. Common carriers typically transport persons or goods according to defined and published routes, time schedules, and rate tables upon the approval of regulators. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted ministerial authority by the legislation that created it. <P> The two main types of carriers are common carriers and private carriers. A common carrier, such as a railroad, airline, or business that offers public transportation, customarily transports property and individuals from one location to another, thus offering its services for the hire of the general population. Conversely, a private carrier of passengers must act with only reasonable care and diligence unless the contract for carriage provides otherwise, though some jurisdictions hold a private carrier to the same duty as that applied to common carriers. <P> A common carrier in common law countries (corresponding to a public carrier in civil law systems, usually called simply a carrier) is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and that is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted ministerial authority by the legislation that created it.

how long to cook a pork loin per pound
|
<P> At what temperature and for how long per pound do you cook a pork roast? My co-worker wants her daughter(13) to put the roast in the oven for her before she gets home, but she did't know at what temp and for how long to tell her to leave it in. She said it is a small 2 lb pork roast. Should take 30-45 minutes per pound, but, it all depends on the internal temperature of the pork roast, more than the amount of time. It used to be 165F but some people say that is too long or past rare; and 185F is dry and stringy. <P> Because the cut is so lean, tenderloin should be cooked quickly. If you cut a tenderloin into rounds or medallions, it will cook in minutes on a dual-contact indoor grill. Each tenderloin usually weighs about 1 to 1-1/4 pounds. Pork is cooked in minutes per pound. So roast a tenderloin at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes per pound and grill it over medium coals for 15-25 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be a minimum of 145 degrees F (the USDA lowered the safe temperature for pork in the summer of 2011). <P> Barbecuing involves cooking the roast over low, indirect heat. These cooking times are for a consistent temperature of approximately 325 F. 1 Cut: Minutes per pound. 2 Boneless: 3 New York top loin, 2 pounds: 20 to 26. 4 New York top loin, 3 to 5 pounds: 12 to 15. 5 Pork loin, center cut, 2 pounds: 20 to 26. This temperature leaves the meat slightly pink and tender, or medium-rare, but you can cook it to a higher temperature of 160 F if you prefer a more well-done piece of pork. Pork should rest for 3 minutes after cooking and before serving. During this rest, large roasts will increase in temperature by about 10 degrees. <P> The rule of thumb for pork roasts is to cook them 25 minutes per pound of meat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). <P> 1 Coat the loin well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). 4 Baste the pork occasionally while cooking. Ready In. 1 Rub meat with the mustard powder and thyme to taste. 2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). 4 Meanwhile, heat the apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat. <P> If you’re cooking pork loin, it should be 30 minutes per pound. The temperature should be around 350 F. It is also cooked when the thermometer goes up to 155 to 165 F. The internal temperature is more important than the oven temperature itself. Browning and Other Pre Cooking Preparations. The internal temperature should be 160. This means cooking at 155 degrees and letting the pork rest. This will cause the temperature to go up to the right level. You can also remove the roast around 145 degrees with a rest of 5 minutes. The only difference with the higher temperature is the pork will be juicer. <P> 1 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). 2 Baste the pork occasionally while cooking. 3 Meanwhile, heat the apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat. Ready In. 1 Rub meat with the mustard powder and thyme to taste. 2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). 4 <P> 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 2 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). 3 Baste the pork occasionally while cooking. 4 Meanwhile, heat the apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat.

what is a propellant system
|
<P> According to Merriam-Webster, a propellant is a gas under pressure in a can that is used to spray out the contents when the pressure is released. Good examples of common, everyday products that use propellants are aerosol products. <P> A three phase system (i.e., a heterogeneous system) is made up a layer of water immiscible liquid propellant, a layer of propellant immiscible liquid (usually water) which contains the product concentrate, and the vapor phase. <P> propellant. n. 1. (General Physics) something that provides or causes propulsion, such as the explosive charge in a gun or the fuel in a rocket. 2. (General Physics) the gas used to carry the liquid droplets in an aerosol spray. <P> In barrier pack systems, the propellant is physically separated from the product concentrate. The propellant pressure on the outside of the barrier serves only to push the contents from the container. In the piston type system, a polyethylene piston is fitted into <P> In a liquid rocket, the propellants, the fuel and the oxidizer, are stored separately as liquids and are pumped into the combustion chamber of the nozzle where burning occurs. In a solid rocket, the propellants are mixed together and packed into a solid cylinder. <P> In a rocket engine, fuel and a source of oxygen, called an oxidizer, are mixed and exploded in a combustion chamber. The combustion produces hot exhaust which is passed through a nozzle to accelerate the flow and produce thrust. <P> Thus an important characteristic of any aerosol is the density of the propellant, propellants, or blend of propellants. Foam aerosols are a three phase system in which the liquid propellant is emulsified with the product concentrate. <P> In any propulsion system, a working fluid is accelerated by the system and the reaction to this acceleration produces a force on the system. A general derivation of the thrust equation shows that the amount of thrust generated depends on the mass flow through the engine and the exit velocity of the gas. <P> The propulsion of a rocket includes all of the parts which make up the rocket engine; the tanks pumps, propellants, power head, and rocket nozzle. The function of the propulsion system is to produce thrust. Thrust is the force which moves a rocket through the air and through space. Thrust is generated by the propulsion system of the rocket.

how long does it take a dog to digest a full meal
|
<P> Report Abuse. An average meal takes about 4 hours to go from the stomach to the small bowel, but a big meal would take about 6 hours. Entire digestion take about 24 to 30 hours depending on health, so its the just the time the meal is in the stomach that makes you feel sick or bloated. <P> 15-30 minutes for food. 10 minutes for just water. It actually takes much longer to digest food...closer to 10-12 hours for most dogs, about half that for puppies. You may notice your dog needs to go to the bathroom 15-30 minutes after eating, but that's just them relieving themselves of waste from a previous meal. <P> Dogs who eat high-fiber diets may have to go more quickly, as can those getting a lot of exercise. Generally, it takes between seven and 10 hours for a dog to digest food, but the many variables mean that only your vet can tell you how long it should be taking. <P> Your dog's digestion rate isn't affected by his size as much as by other factors, including the type of food you give him, the amount of exercise he gets, the amount of water he drinks and more. For example, an average dog -- big or small -- takes between four and six hours to digest canned wet food. Digesting dry kibble, on the other hand, may take between eight and 10 hours. <P> Of all the time for how long does it take to digest a meal, the meal has now spent about 3 hours through its journey till intestine and about 5 hours in the small intestine where all the nutrients it had are now extracted and only things left now are water sodium. <P> Digestion time varies between individuals and between men and women. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.

what is affecting rabbits
|
<P> Rabbits are a serious mammalian pest and invasive species in Australia causing millions of dollars of damage to crops. Rabbits were introduced to Australia in the 18th century with the First Fleet and became widespread after an outbreak caused by an 1859 release. Although the rabbit is a notorious pest, it proved useful to many people during the depressions of the 1890s and 1930s and during wartime. Trapping rabbits helped farmers, stockmen, and stationhands by providing food and extra income, and in some cases helped pay off farming debts. <P> How the disease spread. The way which Myxomatosis spread is a amazing story. It was first discovered in 1896, in lab rabbits from Spain.Many believe the illness come from Brazil, but I can assure you that this is wrong. To prevent a rabbit from contracting Mixi is fairly simple. The most affective way is to have the rabbit vaccinated every 6 or 12 months, depending on the risk in the area. Vaccination is not a guarantee; the rabbit is still at risk but is far less likely to contract the illness and will be more likely to recover. <P> first published on Apr 22, 2010 by bunnyhugga. There are several different kinds of bedding you could use in your rabbit's hutch or cage. Softwood litters have been shown to cause liver disease in rabbits... There are several different kinds of bedding you could use in your rabbit's hutch or cage, as follows:-. This is a good base to line the floor of the hutch or cage with. However, many rabbits, especially if bored, will rip it up and the ink on newspaper can be harmful to rabbits if they ingest too much of it. <P> Myxomatosis (sometimes shortened to myxo or myxy) is a disease that affects rabbits and is caused by the myxoma virus. It was first observed in Uruguay in laboratory rabbits in the late 19th century. It was introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the rabbit population (see Rabbits in Australia). <P> Tularemia or “rabbit fever” is the single most important and deadly disease affecting cottontails. The causal organism, a microscopic bacteria Pasteurella tularensis, is capable of infecting a number of wild birds and mammals (including man), but more commonly occurs in rodents and rabbits. <P> History. Rabbits were introduced to Australia by the First Fleet and the first feral populations were established in Tasmania by 1827. The Victorian Acclimatisation Society released 24 rabbits on Christmas Day 1859 to hunt for sport and to help settlers feel more 'at home'. In the 60 years following 1886, rabbits invaded 4 million square kilometres of Australia, making it one of the fastest colonising mammals anywhere in the world. 'Competition and grazing by rabbits' was listed as a key threatening process by the NSW Scientific Committee in 2002. <P> Affected rabbits develop skin tumors, and in some cases blindness, followed by fatigue and fever; they usually die within 14 days of contracting the disease. The disease is spread by direct contact with an affected animal or by being bitten by fleas or mosquitoes that have fed on an infected rabbit. It was first observed in Uruguay in laboratory rabbits in the late 19th century. It was introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the rabbit population (see Rabbits in Australia). <P> Internal Affairs. To begin with, it is important to understand the way a rabbit's gut works. Because a rabbit's digestive system is set up to ingest cellulose in the form of tough, woody stems and fibrous vegetation, it functions best when it has something to work with (Brown 1994). <P> Studies have shown this to cause liver disease in rabbits and other small animals. The dust can also affect your rabbit's respiratory system. Unfortunately, this is the most commonly used and widely available type of litter. We recommend not using this type of litter but if you have to make sure the hutch or cage is well ventilated and cover it with a thick layer of hay or straw. This is a good base to line the floor of the hutch or cage with. However, many rabbits, especially if bored, will rip it up and the ink on newspaper can be harmful to rabbits if they ingest too much of it. <P> Myxomatosis is a deadly and painful disease. It has powerful affects that will normally kill an infected rabbit. The illness is spread by direct contact with a carrier or when insects (fleas, ticks etc) bite an infected and then pass the blood with a bite to the healthy. It can not be spread to other animals or humans. To prevent a rabbit from contracting Mixi is fairly simple. The most affective way is to have the rabbit vaccinated every 6 or 12 months, depending on the risk in the area. Vaccination is not a guarantee; the rabbit is still at risk but is far less likely to contract the illness and will be more likely to recover.

what is atypical pneumonia
|
<P> Mycoplasma pneumonia is a type of atypical pneumonia. It is caused by the bacteria M. pneumoniae. It typically affects people younger than age 40. Pneumonia due to mycoplasma and chlamydophila bacteria is usually mild. 1 Pneumonia due to Legionella pneumophila gets worse during the first 4 - 6 days, and then improves over 4 - 5 days. 2 Even though symptoms will improve, it may take a while for them to go away completely. <P> Pneumonia is a lung infection. It may be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungus or other types of germs. It can occur in people of all ages and make people very sick. Atypical pneumonia is a pneumonia caused by specific bacteria. These bacteria tend to cause milder forms of pneumonia. Since the form is mild many people continue normal activities while sick, leading to the term walking pneumonia. All types of pneumonia are potentially serious conditions. <P> Atypical pneumonia, also known as walking pneumonia, is the type of pneumonia not caused by one of the more traditional pathogens. Its clinical presentation contrasts to that of typical pneumonia. A variety of microorganisms can cause it. Atypical pneumonia is atypical in that it is caused by atypical organisms (other than Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis). <P> Definition. Pneumonia is an infection of the lung. With atypical pneumonia, the infection is caused by different bacteria than the ones that cause typical pneumonia. These include Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. Atypical pneumonia also tends to have milder symptoms than typical pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia is a type of atypical pneumonia. It is caused by the bacteria M. pneumoniae. It often affects people younger than age 40. Pneumonia due to chlamydia bacteria occurs year round. It is usually mild. <P> see aspiration pneumonia. atypical pneumonia. histologically the pneumonia is atypical in that there are no signs of acute inflammation and it is characterized by an exudation of eosinophilic, protein-rich fluid in the alveoli which may become organized to form a hyaline membrane. <P> Atypical pneumonia refers to pneumonia caused by certain bacteria, including Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. It is called “atypical” because the symptoms differ from those of pneumonia due to other common bacteria. Pneumonia is an infection of the lung. Pneumonia due to mycoplasma and chlamydophila bacteria is usually mild. 1 Pneumonia due to Legionella pneumophila gets worse during the first 4 - 6 days, and then improves over 4 - 5 days. 2 Even though symptoms will improve, it may take a while for them to go away completely. <P> The symptoms associated with atypical pneumonia are generally mild. They may include: 1 confusion (legionella). 2 chills. 3 cough. 4 diarrhea (legionella). 5 headache. 6 fever. 7 muscle aches. 8 muscle stiffness.

what is a dowser
|
<P> Map dowsers use a dowsing device, usually a pendulum, over maps to locate oil, minerals, persons, water, etc. However, the prototype of a dowser is the field dowser who walks around an area using a forked stick to locate underground water. When above water, the rod points downward. A modern twist to the ancient art of dowsing has been added by several entrepreneurs who have added a plastic handle to the dowsing rod and either fake or pointless electronic circuitry. These devices are not marketed as dowsing rods, but as machines capable of detecting drugs, bombs, or a variety of other things. <P> Dowsing, in general terms, is the art of finding hidden things. Usually, this is accomplished with the aid of a dowsing stick, rods or a pendulum. Also known as divining, water witching, doodlebugging and other names, dowsing is an ancient practice whose origins are lost in long-forgotten history. However, it is thought to date back at least 8,000 years. In more modern times, dowsing has been used to find water for wells, mineral deposits, oil, buried treasure, archaeological artifacts-even missing people. How the dowsing technique was first discovered is unknown, yet those who practice it are unwavering in their affirmations that it does work. <P> Noun. 1. dowser-someone who uses a divining rod to find underground water. rhabdomancer, water witch. diviner-someone who claims to discover hidden knowledge with the aid of supernatural powers <P> A dowser, from an 18th-century French book about superstitions. Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites, and many other objects and materials without the use of scientific apparatus. Mankind is (sure) that Rod divine, For to the Wealthiest (ever) they incline.. Dowsing was conducted in South Dakota in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to help homesteaders, farmers, and ranchers locate water wells on their property. <P> A dowsing pendulum can also be used in other ways: 1 For map dowsing, hold the pendulum still over the map and make a request (e.g. Show me where this object or person is). 2 Write several answers on a piece of paper, leaving the center blank. 3 Radiesthesia is the practice of using dowsing to make a medical diagnosis. A dowsing pendulum can also be used in other ways: 1 For map dowsing, hold the pendulum still over the map and make a request (e.g. Show me where this object or person is). 2 Move the pendulum slowly over all areas of the map until you see activity that coincides with your calibration. <P> Dowsing is many things to many people,and limited only by our imagination as to the ways it can be used to assist us. Raymon: Dowsing is generally understood to be a method of finding water with a forked stick. Well, that is true, but quite a limited definition. Dowsing is a means of getting information with the use of a physical instrument. Dowsers use tools or instruments such as pendulums, rods, bobbers and even forked sticks. Read more.... <P> Dowsing appears to have arisen in the context of Renaissance magic in Germany, and it remains popular among believers in Forteana or radiesthesia. The motion of dowsing rods is nowadays generally attributed to the ideomotor effect. Mankind is (sure) that Rod divine, For to the Wealthiest (ever) they incline.. Dowsing was conducted in South Dakota in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to help homesteaders, farmers, and ranchers locate water wells on their property. <P> Definition of DOWSER. : divining rod; also: a person who uses it. <P> Dowsing is often used for the search for hidden things like water or metals. The search for water (with especially a dowsing rod) is also called 'water witching'. Nowadays it is often used for tracking down leylines and earth rays. Dowsing is an ancient art. <P> But dowsing isn’t just about finding water. Dowsing is a method of finding answers or objects as indicated by the movement of a device such as dowsing rods, hazel branches or a pendulum. The dowsing device moves to indicate a positive or negative response. When asking questions it will give yes or no answers.

Here are some of the best alkaline producing foods that will give you the most effective results: Vegetables: Vegetable juices, parsley, raw spinach, broccoli, celery, garlic, Romaine lettuce, carrots and barley grass. Fruits: Dried Figs, raisins, limes, apples and grapefruits. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds and hazelnuts. <P> To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods & 20% acid forming foods. Generally, alkaline forming foods include: most fruits, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings, and seeds and nuts. Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains, and legumes. <P> The pH (acidity) of our bodies is important. The body maintains slightly alkaline pH of about 7.4 (pH 7.0 is neutral). Since waste products tend to be acid, we need sources of alkalinity. To help this, you should eat less acid-producing foods than you eat alkaline-producing foods (perhaps 3-to-1). It is not the acid in the food that matters (e.g., citrus are acid), but what they lead to in the body (citrus are alkaline-producing). <P> Generally, alkaline forming foods include: most fruits, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings, and seeds and nuts. Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains, and legumes. Shifting Your pH Toward Alkaline... This chart is for those trying to adjust their body pH. The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers below 7 acidic (low on oxygen) and numbers above 7 alkaline.

why was the first day of the battle of somme a disaster
|
<P> Introduction. The Battle of the Somme, also known as the Somme Offensive, was one of the largest battles of the First World War. Fought between July 1 and November 1, 1918 near the Somme River in France, it was also one of the bloodiest military battles in history. On the first day alone, the British suffered more than 57,000 casualties, and by the end of the campaign the Allies and Central Powers would lose more than 1.5 million me <P> of the Somme, 1916. T he Battle of the Somme was one of the costliest engagements of the First World War. In the summer of 1916 the line of trenches demarcating the Western Front stretched from the English Channel across the length of France to the Swiss border. <P> The first day of the Somme battle was a disaster, with nearly 60,000 casualties. No Canadian infantry units participated in this attack but, at Beaumont Hamel, the 1st Newfoundland Regiment, attached to a British division, was cut down on 1 July by German machine-gun fire as it attacked over open ground. The first day of the Somme was a catastrophe for the British Army and a shock for all the Allies. Despite the limited Allied gains, German forces had also suffered horribly. The British pressed the attack for months, well into the fall. By the time the battle ended, each side had suffered more than 600,000 casualties <P> On 1st July 1916, the first phase of the allied offensive, took place on the Northern side of the Western front and was known as the Battle of the Somme. The main reason for the battle was to take pressure off the French army, which had been under heavy attack at Verdun since February, and was close to cracking. It was hoped that a major British offensive on the Somme would force the Germans to withdraw troops from Verdun. The other reason was that it had been a stalemate for 2 years and Douglas Haig, the commanding officer of the British army, wanted to get the break through and win the war <P> Since 1 July 1916, the cost of the battle and the meagre gains have been a source of grief and controversy in Britain; in German and French writing, the first day of the Battle of the Somme has been little more than a footnote to the mass losses of 1914–1915 and the Battle of Verdun. Nine corps of the French Sixth Army, the British Fourth and the Third armies, attacked the German 2nd Army of General Fritz von Below, from Foucaucourt south of the Somme northwards to Serre, north of the Ancre and at Gommecourt, which was 2 miles (3.2 km) beyond, in the Third Army area. <P> The first day on the Somme, 1 July 1916, was the opening day of the Battle of Albert (1–13 July), the name given by the British to the first two weeks of the Battle of the Somme. Nine corps of the French Sixth Army, the British Fourth and the Third armies, attacked the German 2nd Army of General Fritz von Below, from Foucaucourt south of the Somme northwards to Serre, north of the Ancre and at Gommecourt, which was 2 miles (3.2 km) beyond, in the Third Army area. <P> Why Was the First Day of the Battle of the Somme (1st July 1916) Such A Disaster? The Battle of the Somme began on the 1st of July 1916 just north of Somme. This was over a month earlier than planned but the British needed to attack early in order to draw out the German troops from Verdun and save the French army. But the first day was a disaster and it was the worst day in British military history as 20,000 were killed and 40,000 were injured. The first problem was that the Germans had established their positions first and had made deep trenches out of steel and concrete. <P> Why Was the First Day of the Battle of the Somme on the 1st of July Such a Disaster.

how many credits needed for a associates degree
|
<P> The credits number for completing the Associate's Degree depends on the state mandate and the concrete program of study. Usually this degree includes 60-64 semester hours or sometimes 95-105 quarter hours. However, some programs require 70 or even more hours. The Associates Degree requires the studying for two years and when the student choses, how many credits for an associates degree he needs, he may not prerequisite coursework for testing the basic skills. Some may take longer hours which depends on the required credits number. <P> The Associate in Arts Degree requires a minimum of 60 college-level credit hours including 36 hours in general education, 24 hours of acceptable electives, and satisfaction of the foreign language proficiency requirement. A. General Education Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree- 36 Credits. <P> Wondering how many credits are required for you to earn an associates degree? The answer depends on both your major and your school. In most cases you are eligible to graduate with an associates degree after earning approximately sixty credits. <P> Requirements for an Empire State College Degree. As noted in the chart below: 1 To earn an associate degree, you must complete 64 credits, with at least 24 earned at Empire State College. 2 A bachelor's degree requires completion of 124 credits, with at least 31 earned at Empire State College. 3 Each degree program has a specific number of required liberal studies credits. 1 A bachelor's degree requires completion of 124 credits, with at least 31 earned at Empire State College. 2 Each degree program has a specific number of required liberal studies credits. 3 The number of liberal studies credits you include in your degree program determines the degree designation (B.A. = 4 94, B.S. = 62, B.P.S. <P> For instance, if your Associate's degree requires 90 credits, you will need to take 45 credits per year, or 15 credits per term (about 4 courses), not including summer term, in order to complete the degree in 2 years. All of the 90 credits must be 100-200 level courses. Look in the PCC Catalog to see how many credits your degree requires. Make an appointment with an advisor to make a one or two year plan to help you stay on track. To determine if you should be part-time or full-time, visit the Time Management section of Panther Tracks. <P> Report Abuse. An associate's degree is a 2 year degree and it takes about 60 hours. A master's degree is a graduate degree and also takes about 2 years, but you'll need a bachelor's degree first before you can get a master's. Which is better depends a little on what you want to do with your degree. Going full time (5 classes per semester), that takes two years. A master's degree is a far higher level than an associate's degree. You would need to get your bachelor's degree (two more years after your associate's) first before going on to get your master's (another two or so years after your bachelor's). <P> Number of credits for a AA/AS Degree. The number of credits that are required to complete an associate's degree will depend upon the state mandate and your program of study. Typically, this degree requires 60 to 64 semester hours or 95 to 105 quarter hours. For example, the state mandate in New Jersey is now a minimum of 64 semester hours for an AA, AS, or AAS. However, there are some programs that require 70 or more semester hours. It depends on how many courses one plans to take per semester. Most associate degrees require about 64 hours of college credit. If an individual were to take 16 cred … it hours during the Fall and Spring semesters and take summers off then one could complete the degree within 2 years. <P> Obtaining a college degree is very important.

where does colles fracture occur
|
<P> Colles fractures are very common extra-articular fractures of the distal radius that occur as the result of a fall onto an outstretched hand. They consist of a fracture of the distal radial metaphyseal region with dorsal angulation and impaction, but without involvement of the articular surface. <P> A Colles fracture occurs when the broken end of the radius tilts upward.This illustration shows some of the types of distal radius fractures.Reproduced with permission from JF Sarwark, ed: Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care, ed 4. Rosemont, IL, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2010. The end toward the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the area of the radius near the wrist breaks.Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm. <P> A distal radius fracture almost always occurs about 1 inch from the end of the bone. The break can occur in many different ways, however. One of the most common distal radius fractures is a Colles fracture, in which the broken fragment of the radius tilts upward. This fracture was first described in 1814 by an Irish surgeon and anatomist, Abraham Colles -- hence the name Colles fracture. A Colles fracture occurs when the broken end of the radius tilts upward. Other ways the distal radius can break include: 1 Intra-articular fracture. 2 A fracture that extends into the wrist joint. ( 3 Articular means joint.). 4 Extra-articular fracture. 5 A fracture that does not extend into the joint is called an extra-articular fracture. 6 Open fractur <P> A Colles' fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius in the forearm with dorsal (posterior) and radial displacement of the wrist and hand. The fracture is sometimes referred to as a dinner fork or bayonet deformity due to the shape of the resultant forearm. Colles' fractures are often seen in people with osteoporosis <P> The term of Colles fracture is classically used to describe a fracture at the distal end of the radius, at its cortico-cancellous junction. The fracture is sometimes referred to as a dinner fork or bayonet deformity due to the shape of the resultant forearm. <P> A Colles'’ fracture, or a distal radius fracture of the wrist, often occurs when attempting to “catch yourself” during a fall and landing on the palm of the hand. <P> A Colles’ wrist fracture occurs when the radius bone in your forearm breaks. It’s also known as a distal radius fracture, transverse wrist fracture, or a dinner-fork deformity of the wrist. Your radius is the larger of the two main bones in your forearm. The distal part of the radius is the end near your wrist. When you have a Colles’ wrist fracture, the distal end breaks and can cause your wrist to bend in an abnormal way. <P> A. A Colles' fracture -- or distal radius fracture -- is often called a ''broken wrist.'' Technically, it's a break in the larger of the two bones in your forearm. The bone breaks on the lower end, close to where it connects to the bones of the hand on the thumb side of the wrist. In this article.

where is the thyroid gland?
|
<P> The thyroid gland is the biggest gland in the neck. It is situated in the anterior (front) neck below the skin and muscle layers. The thyroid gland takes the shape of a butterfly with the two wings being represented by the left and right thyroid lobes which wrap around the trachea. <P> The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. <P> The thyroid gland, or simply the thyroid /ˈθaɪrɔɪd/ , is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body, and consists of two connected lobes. It is found in the neck, below the laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple). <P> Thyroid gland. The thyroid gland covers the windpipe from three sides. Two hormones of the thyroid gland, T3 (thyroxine) and T4 (triiodothyronine), help the body to produce and regulate the hormones adrenaline (also called epinephrine) and dopamine. Hormones are chemical substances that help control certain cells and organs. <P> Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland, acts to stimulate hormone production by the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland also makes the hormone calcitonin, which is involved in calcium metabolism and stimulating bone cells to add calcium to bone. <P> 1 The amount of thyroid hormone released by the thyroid is regulated by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, which makes a substance called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). 2 C cells (also called parafollicular cells) make calcitonin, a hormone that helps control how the body uses calcium. <P> Thyroid gland: A gland that makes and stores hormones that help regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and the rate at which food is converted into energy. Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. <P> The thyroid gland is one of the body's most important endocrine organs. It is located in the neck just below the thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple) and cricoid cartilage. Although its size can vary, based on each individual's size and iodine intake, the thyroid generally weighs approximately 15-20 grams (1/2 - 3/4 oz).

how much does a group home staff make
|
<P> (United States). Group Home Supervisors in the United States may have to scrimp and save; the median compensation is $34K annually. Compensation ranges from $23K on the lower end to $44K per year on the higher end. In the end, more experience does seem to mean larger paychecks; seasoned Group Home Supervisors with more than 20 years of experience earn a predictably higher median salary of $41K. <P> This means that in a 5-bed group home with a 1:1 staff/client ratio, there is only one staff person available to the five people on any given shift. Remember it takes 5.3 people to cover one position 24 hours a day. So the real ratio that people actually experience is 1:5. If the staff person spends half their time filling out forms, cooking, cleaning, talking on the telephone, receiving supervision, etc., this leaves 48 minutes per shift for personal attention / engagement with each person 'served'. 48 minutes of engagement out of an eight hour shift is not a high level of support. <P> 1 Find out the regulations pertaining to group homes, including how many residents you can have, how much staff you'll need, what kind of training the staff needs, what your facility must be equipped with, etc. [source: Schiffer 2 ]. Get first aid and/or CPR certification if necessary. 1 Acquire all the necessary permits and licenses. 2 Find out the regulations pertaining to group homes, including how many residents you can have, how much staff you'll need, what kind of training the staff needs, what your facility must be equipped with, etc. [source: Schiffer ]. <P> Salary. The average salary for group home workers is $21,820 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This breaks down to $10.49 per hour. The highest 10 percent make an average wage of $29,530 annually, or $14.20 per hour. The lowest 10 percent of group home workers make an average salary of $16,410 annually, or $7.89 per hour. Contributing Factors. The industry offering the highest level of employment is home health care services with 338,650 jobs at an average salary of $21,250 annually, or $10.22 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. <P> Linda is being pushed to place Darlene in a group home, by an expert and a system that doesn't understand supported living. Here's the picture, as I see it... In a shift-staffed group home, to cover one staff position twenty-four hours a day, it takes 5.3 'staff-man-years'. You're covering 3 shifts (that's 3 'staff-man-years'), plus weekends, statutory holidays, sick leave backup, and professional development days. If the staff person spends half their time filling out forms, cooking, cleaning, talking on the telephone, receiving supervision, etc., this leaves 48 minutes per shift for personal attention / engagement with each person 'served'. 48 minutes of engagement out of an eight hour shift is not a high level of support. <P> Alot of people do get the money but most of it is put back into the group home to pay the expenses of the occupants and the home itself. The expenses of the group home are mandatory if you want to keep your home from getting shut down or closed. But in a year a group home owner makes about $20,800 per child. <P> Most group home owners don't make on cent profit off of their group home, but if you are doing a group home to make money, you could get about 400 dollars a week per child from the state. The expenses of the group home are mandatory if you want to keep your home from getting shut down or closed. But in a year a group home owner makes about $20,800 per child. <P> By earning that degree and working your way up in the group home, you can also qualify for a manager position. According to data compiled by Indeed, group home managers earned an average salary of $70,000 as of December 2014. According to the BLS, employment of personal care aides is expected to increase 49 percent from 2012 to 2022, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. <P> The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $34K. In the end, more experience does seem to mean larger paychecks; seasoned Group Home Supervisors with more than 20 years of experience earn a predictably higher median salary of $41K.

pancreatic juice includes
|
<P> The pancreatic acini form ducts that produce and secrete pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct and into duodenum of the small intestine. In the small intestine pancreatic juice help to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and play a role in creating a normal ph in <P> Pancreatic juice secretion is regulated by the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin, which is produced by the walls of the duodenum upon detection of acid food, proteins, fats and vitamins. <P> 1. Proteases Digestion of proteins is initiated by pepsin in the stomach, but the bulk of protein digestion is due to the pancreatic proteases. Several proteases are synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the lumen of the small intestine. <P> Some of the enzymes that are found in pancreatic juice include trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, lipase and amylase. These enzymes are important for digestion. <P> Pancreatic secretion consists of an aqueous bicarbonate component from the duct cells and enzymatic component from the acinar cells. A clear alkaline secretion of the pancreas containing enzymes that aid in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. <P> Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum—the first part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive juices, or enzymes, into the duodenum through a tube called the pancreatic duct. <P> Pancreatic juice is composed of two secretory products critical to proper digestion: digestive enzymes and bicarbonate. The enzymes are synthesized and secreted from the exocrine acinar cells, whereas bicarbonate is secreted from the epithelial cells lining small pancreatic ducts. <P> The pancreas contains exocrine glands that produce enzymes important to digestion. These enzymes include trypsin and chymotrypsin to digest proteins; amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates; and lipase to break down fats. When food enters the stomach, these pancreatic juices are released into a system of ducts that culminate in the main pancreatic duct. <P> (April 2012). Pancreatic juice is a liquid secreted by the pancreas, which contains a variety of enzymes, including trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase, nucleases and amylase.

how much money can i give a person tax free
|
<P> In 2015, a taxpayer can give up to $14,000 per person per year without being taxed on the gift. For example, this year you could give Friend A $14,000, Friend B $14,000, and your sister $14,000 and not be taxed on your gifts. Another way to say it… I can give $13,000 to a zillion people tax free, but the moment I give $13,001 to one person, that extra $1 is now taxable, but can be eliminated by the first dollar of the $5 million exclusion. <P> Because the payment qualifies for the educational exclusion, the gift is not a taxable gift. Example 3. In 2008, you give $25,000 to your 25-year-old daughter. The first $12,000 of your gift is not subject to the gift tax because of the annual exclusion. --------------------------------------... **Further details and examples: Below** If you are married, both you and your spouse can separately give gifts valued at up to $12,000 to the same person in 2008 without making a taxable gift. If one of you gives more than the $12,000 exclusion to a person in 2008. <P> Most taxpayers can avoid paying a gift tax. As of 2012, each U.S. taxpayer can give up to $13,000 tax-free, the annual exclusion amount set by the Internal Revenue Service. This limit is subject to change. For example, from 2006 through 2008, it was $12,000. As of 2012, a married couple can give up to $26,000 tax-free, referred to as gift splitting.. If you pay tuition or medical expenses for someone, you don't have to pay tax on the money. Gifts to your spouse are also tax-free. <P> The short answer to the question is as much as you like.. The IRS sets no cap on the total amount of money you can give your child each year. However, there are tax consequences for gifts over a certain amount, and the IRS imposes a lifetime $5.12 million gift tax exemption as well. In any given year, you can give up to $13,000 per child, without incurring any kind of reporting requirement, and without any gift tax liability. If you are married, you and your spouse can each give this amount, or $26,000 total. You can give more than this amount, but if you do, you must file an IRS Form 709. <P> Gifts. According to the IRS, certain gifts are not taxable. These include gifts that are less than the annual exclusion amount. As of 2012, a married couple can give up to $26,000 tax-free, referred to as gift splitting.. If you pay tuition or medical expenses for someone, you don't have to pay tax on the money. Gifts to your spouse are also tax-free. <P> Best Answer: For 2008, you generally can give a gift valued at up to $12,000 each, to any number of people, and none of the gifts will be taxable. (that is Per Person & Per Year) --------------------------------------... **Further details and examples: Below** If you are married, both you and your spouse can separately give gifts valued at up to $12,000 to the same person in 2008 without making a taxable gift. If one of you gives more than the $12,000 exclusion to a person in 2008. <P> For instance, if you give your daughter $20,000 on December 17, $6,000 of it is taxable. You'll have to file a gift tax return (by April 15 of the next year), and you'll use up $6,000 of the total amount you can give away or leave free from estate tax. But if you give your daughter $10,000 in December and wait to hand over the other $10,000 until January 1, both gifts are tax-free. For deaths in 2015, everyone has a lifetime gift and estate tax exemption of $5.43 million, which means you can leave or give away up to $5.43 million without owing any federal tax. This amount goes up every year to adjust for inflation <P> Also, another way for parents to avoid the gift tax is to remember that each parent is entitled to their own individual $14,000 exclusion. This means that your mother and father could each give you $14,000 this year — for a total of $28,000 — without being taxed on that gift. Another way to say it… I can give $13,000 to a zillion people tax free, but the moment I give $13,001 to one person, that extra $1 is now taxable, but can be eliminated by the first dollar of the $5 million

normal hdl levels for males
|
<P> Home » Cardiology » Cholesterol Levels ». Normal cholesterol levels in men over 50 should be less than 200. Because high cholesterol is a leading contributor to heart disease and other chronic illnesses, many doctors recommend that men over the age of 50 receive annual physicals that include cholesterol readings. Both your HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels will be checked. These two are also known as good and bad cholesterol, for a very good reason. HDL cholesterol is productive. It helps to rid your body of bad cholesterol and protects the heart. This number should be over 60. <P> 1) Total Cholesterol: less than 200 mg/dL. 2) LDL: 100 mg/dL to 129 mg/dL. 3) HDL: more than 40 mg/dL. 4) Triglycerides: 100 mg/dL to 150 mg/dL. It should be taken into account that the mentioned normal ranges are rather unstable, because they are changing with age. If the normal level of LDL of a 25-year-old is 160 mg/dL, for a 75-year-old it would be too small. The desirable total level of cholesterol in the blood is less than 200 mg/dL. If the concentration of cholesterol in the blood is greater than 240 mg/dL, it is considered to be high. <P> Normal Ranges. Recommended ranges for LDL cholesterol fall below 100 mg/dL and anything above 159 mg/dL is considered high. HDL cholesterol should be above 60 mg/dL and anything below 40 mg/dL is considered too low. Total cholesterol should be below 200 mg/dL and anything above 240 mg/dL is considered high. Men who have had heart attacks, strokes or coronary artery disease should have LDL levels below 70 mg/dL. <P> LDL (bad) cholesterol A low LDL cholesterol level is considered good for your heart health. However, your LDL number should no longer be the main factor in guiding treatment to prevent heart attack and stroke, according to new guidelines from the American Heart Association. Your total cholesterol and HDL (good) cholesterol are among numerous factors your doctor can use to predict your lifetime or 10-year risk for a heart attack or stroke. View an animation of cholesterol score. Your test report will show your cholesterol levels in milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). <P> In the United States, cholesterol levels are calculated in milligrams of cholesterol for each deciliter of blood. A result of under 200 mg per dL (5.2 mmol/L) is ideal. A level somewhere between 200 to 239 mg per dL (5.2 and 6.2 mmol/L) is within the edge line of high-risk class. A normal HDL cholesterol is in between 40 and 49 mg per dL (1 and 1.3 mmol/L) for men. As for women, it is between 50 and 59 mg per dL (1.3 and 1.5 mmol/L). <P> Your total cholesterol level is in the Desirable range, but your level of bad LDL cholesterol is High. This may mean that your level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol, is too low. It is best to have a high level of good HDL and a low level of bad LDL. Cholesterol levels should be measured at least once every five years in everyone over age 20. The screening test that is usually performed is a blood test called a lipid profile. Experts recommend that men ages 35 and older and women ages 45 and older be more frequently screened for lipid disorders. <P> High: At or above 240 mg/dL. If your total cholesterol is high, you have twice the risk for heart disease as a person with normal total cholesterol. Here is the adult range for HDL cholesterol: Normal: 35 to 65 mg/dL for men, 35 to 80 mg/dL for women. If your number is less than 25 mg/dL, your risk for coronary heart disease is doubled. If your number is between 60 and 74 mg/dL, your risk for coronary heart disease is below average <P> 1 If HDL-C is less than 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) for men and less than 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) for women, there is an increased risk of heart disease that is independent of other risk factors, including the LDL-C level. For example, if a person has a total cholesterol result of 200 mg/dL and an HDL cholesterol level of 50 mg/dL, the ratio would be stated as 4 (or 4:1). A desirable ratio is below 5 (5:1); the optimum ratio is 3.5 (3.5:1). <P> At the same time HDL Cholesterol Levels fall into 1) low (for men – less than 40 mg/dL; for women – less than 50 mg/dL) and 2) high (more than 60 mg/dL for both men and women). The desirable total level of cholesterol in the blood is less than 200 mg/dL. If the concentration of cholesterol in the blood is greater than 240 mg/dL, it is considered to be high. <P> A score below 40 mg per dL (1 mmol/L) for men, and 50 mg per dL (1.3 mmol/L) for women is known to be low. This places you at threat of cardiovascular problems. A normal HDL cholesterol is in between 40 and 49 mg per dL (1 and 1.3 mmol/L) for men. As for women, it is between 50 and 59 mg per dL (1.3 and 1.5 mmol/L).

how long to cook an oven beef roast
|
<P> Pull the roast from the oven when the inside temperature of the roast is about 10 degrees less than your desired level of doneness. The temperature of the roast may rise while the roast is cooking. Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes, tented in aluminum foil to keep warm, before carving to serve. If the roast is very lean you may want to drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil or two over the roast. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the roast. Place the roast on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Bake the roast for approximately 25 to 30 minutes for every pound of meat for a roast to be cooked to medium. <P> 1 Sprinkle roast generously with garlic powder, or to your liking. 2 DO NOT SALT roast, or you will dry it out. 3 Put roast in the oven on the middle rack. 4 Bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound, then shut off oven, and let sit in the oven for 1 hour. 1 DO NOT SALT roast, or you will dry it out. 2 Put roast in the oven on the middle rack. 3 <P> How long and at what temperature should I cook a beef roast in the oven? Roasting is a great cooking method for a large, tender cut of beef such as a rib or sirloin roast. Sirloin-tip, rump, rolled-rump, eye-of-round or top-round roasts will also benefit from this cooking method if they are graded prime or choice. Cooking at a constant oven temperature of 300°F (160°C), a 5- to 8-lb standing rib roast will take 17-19 minutes per pound for rare, 20-22 for medium rare, 23-25 minutes for medium, and 27-30 minutes for well done. <P> If a pan with a rack is not available, place the meat on sturdy foods such as potatoes or carrots to keep it from getting too wet. 5. Turn the oven down to 200ºF and cook for about 1 hour per pound. Check your meat with a thermometer after 2.5 hours for a 2.5 pound roast. Follow these guidelines for doneness when checking temperature 1 : 130ºF Rare. <P> 4) Place the beef in a roasting pan, and put it in the oven, uncovered. Timing is Everything. 1) Cook the roast for 15 minutes at 500 degrees F. 2) After 15 minutes, turn the temperature down to 375 degrees F. 3) Continue cooking for 16 minutes per pound (ex: If your roast is 3 pounds, that would be 48 minutes). 4) Remove from oven, and place pan on a cooling rack. 5) Let rest for 15 minutes <P> Cover the roast with a lid or aluminum foil. Place in the oven and roast for 1 1/2 hours, or 30 minutes per pound. 7. Test the roast to make sure it's done. Remove the lid or foil from the pan and insert a meat thermometer into the roast. 1 Rare meat is done when its temperature has reached 125 degrees Fahrenheit(52 degrees Celsius). It's also the perfect type of meat to cook in a crock pot or slow cooker. This article describes three methods of cooking rump roast: braised in the oven, cooked in a slow cooker, and marinated. 1 Prep time (Braised): 15 minutes. 2 Cook time: 90 minutes. <P> Drizzle with olive oil and place the roast on top. Place the roast in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 F (190 C). Roast for about 13-15 minutes per pound for rare, 17-19 minutes for medium, and 22-25 for cooked through. Check the meat with a thermometer to make sure it is the temperature you want it--145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium. (Baste the roast a couple times while cooking, and keep an eye on the vegetables <P> The oven temperature used to cook a beef roast is usually set somewhere between 300 degrees and 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The recommended cooking temperature for your roast is usually determined by the type of beef cut that you plan to roast. The proper beef roast cook times and the correct beef cooking oven temperatures are extremely important. The optimum flavor and tenderness of various beef roasts can be consistently achieved when care is taken to follow the recommended time and temperature guidelines for cooking beef roasts. <P> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make a dry rub by combining chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, and bay leaf. Season the raw brisket on both sides with the rub. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour. Add beef stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender. Trim the fat and slice meat thinly across the grain. Top with juice from the pan.

at what age can you begin collecting social security
|
<P> Age 65: When you first qualify to take Medicare. Your full retirement age: When you can start collecting your full Social Security benefits and work while collecting Social Security without a penalty. Age 70: When Social Security stops increasing your benefit for every month you wait to collect. And finally, remember that if you're below your full retirement age and still working while collecting Social Security, you face a penalty of as much as $1 for every $2 you earn above $15,720 within the year. <P> Under the Social Security laws, you can begin to receive your retirement payments once you hit the age of 62 (early retirement), at full retirement age (varies by year you were born), or at late retirement age (any age after your full retirement age). If you start claiming Social Security benefits at your full retirement age, you will receive your full retirement benefits. Claiming at Late Retirement Age. The Social Security Administration gives an incentive for people to work past their full retirement age by providing larger checks. <P> At what age can I start collecting Social Security benefits? Workers can begin receiving benefits at age 62, but your benefit will be greater if you wait until your full retirement age (currently 66) or later. Widows, widowers, surviving children, the disabled and children of the disabled can start collecting earlier. <P> You can begin receiving benefits as early as age 62, but if you do, the monthly payment will be reduced from normal retirement age. For those born in 1960 or later, that will mean a 30% reduction in your monthly benefit compared to waiting until your normal retirement age. Another important consideration is earned income. If you have income from a job or business, your Social Security benefits may be reduced if you begin collecting benefits prior to your normal retirement age. For those born prior to 1955, your benefits will be reduced $1 for every $2 you earn in excess of $14,160. <P> Early Social Security can cost you. If your full retirement age is 67, your Social Security benefit is reduced by: 1 About 30 percent if you start collecting at 62. 2 About 25 percent if you start collecting at 63. 3 About 20 percent if you start collecting at 64. 4 About 13.3 percent if you start collecting at 65 <P> If you start more than 36 months before your full retirement age, the benefit is further reduced by five-twelfths of 1% per month. For example, if your full retirement age is 66 and you elect to start benefits at age 62, the reduced benefit calculation is based on 48 months. This means that the reduction for the first 36 months is 20% (five-ninths of 1% times 36) and 5% (five-twelfths of 1% times 12) for the remaining 12 months. The age at which you can start receiving full Social Security retirement benefits is a moving target and depends on the year you were born (see table below). You can elect to take benefits early at age 62 (earlier only if you are a survivor or on disability), or wait as late as age 70. <P> You can begin receiving reduced benefits as early as 62, but to receive your full benefit, you must reach full retirement age (as defined by Social Security). Your full Social Security retirement age depends on the year you were born. <P> Retirement Planner: When To Start Your Benefits. You can start your Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70. Your monthly benefit amount will be different depending on the age you start receiving it. If you choose to: <P> Assuming you qualify, you can start collecting as early as age 62, but the longer you wait -- up until age 70 -- the higher your monthly benefit will be. Somewhere between age 62 and age 70, you reach what Social Security calls your full retirement age.. If you start collecting benefits at that age, you'll receive exactly what Social Security calculates your full benefit is worth based on your earnings history. And finally, remember that if you're below your full retirement age and still working while collecting Social Security, you face a penalty of as much as $1 for every $2 you earn above $15,720 within the year.

what are borlotti beans like
|
<P> Borlotti beans are also known as cranberry beans or French horticultural beans and are some of the cutest darn beans around if you ask me. Don’t get too excited about how festive they look, though, as that color goes away with cooking. They eventually turn brown. I’m not a bean expert or anything, but to me, borlotti beans taste most like what those of us who enjoy baked beans are used to having. <P> Dried barbunya or borlotti or cranberry beans. A variety of kidney beans, borlotti beans are a large plump bean that is pinkish-brown in color with reddish-brown streaks. They are packed with goodness, rich source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. […] Barbunya pilaki, borlotti beans cooked in olive oil with tomatoes, onions and carrots, is my father’s favorite Zeytinyagli, Vegetables cooked in olive oil, Turkish style. <P> Borlotti beans: Borlotti beans, also known as cranberry beans or French horticultural beans, are off-white beans with red markings. When you can find them fresh they come in large beige and red pods with colors that resemble the dried beans. In the shell the borlotti's bright colored pods make a festive table accent. Dried borlotti can be soaked overnight and the simmered under water or stock with vegetables and or meats. When cooked the beans will lose some of their bright markings and turn a light brown color. <P> Borlotti beans recipes. A variety of kidney bean, this is a large plump bean that is pinkish-brown in colour with reddish-brown streaks. Borlotti beans are widely used in Italian cooking and have a sweetish flavour with a smooth creamy texture. They work well in salads and casseroles. The dried variety needs to be soaked in cold water before cooking <P> BORLOTTI BEANS. Nutritional Value: Borlotti beans provide more protein than any other plant-derived food. They’re a good source of starch, provide B-complex vitamins like B1/thiamine, B2/riboflavin, B3/niacin, B5/pantothenic acid, B6/pyridoxine, B12/cobalamins, biotin, and folate. They provide essential minerals like iron, potassium, zinc. Borlotti beans provide a good balance of complex carbohydrates and proteins. They provide a slow, steady source of glucose making it a good food for diabetics. They are comparable to the nutrient content of kidney beans <P> It is resistant to viruses and has a high yield. The Borlotti bean, also known as the Roman bean or romano bean (not to be confused with the Italian flat bean, a green bean also called romano bean), is a variety of cranberry bean bred in Italy to have a thicker skin. It is used in Italian, Portuguese (Catarino bean), Turkish, and Greek cuisine. <P> BORLOTTI BEANS. I am not sure if Borlotti beans have been bad boys or villains, due to the number of aliases, or other names that they have, among which are Cranberry beans, French hor ticultural beans, Saluggia or Rosecoco beans. The borlotti bean (if puchased dry) should be soaked over night and it is suggested that the stripes fade, whilst others say the stripes are more apparent, this may be due to any additives when boiling such as herbs or salts, if boiling add a little salt afterwards to stop the beans from going tough. <P> Borlotti beans provide a good-dose of: Protein, necessary for the building and repair of body tissues, produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses.

when are primary oocytes are formed
|
<P> 1 The follicular cell layer becomes cuboidal and then columnar as the primary oocyte enlarges at puberty and a primary follicle is formed. 2 A primary follicle with more than one layer of cuboidal follicular cells is called a growing follicle. 1 All of the oogonia enlarge to form primary oocytes, of which about 2 million are present at birth. 2 No primary oocytes form after birth (in contrast to the continuous production of primary spermatocytes in the male after puberty). <P> Primary oocyte. Definition. noun, plural: primary oocytes. The oocyte that arises from the oogonium via the process of oocytogenesis, and gives rise to secondary oocyte and polar body after first meiotic division (meiosis I). Supplement. In humans, the primary oocytes are produced by the process of oocytogenesis that occurs during embryonic stage. At that time each oogonium inside the ovaries of the fetus divides and enters the initial stage of meiosis I to become the primary oocyte. <P> 1 Oogenesis (oocyte maturation). 2 PRENATAL MATURATION: the ova are formed in the ovary from cells called oogonia which proliferate by mitotic division. 3 All of the oogonia enlarge to form primary oocytes, of which about 2 million are present at birth. 1 All of the oogonia enlarge to form primary oocytes, of which about 2 million are present at birth. 2 No primary oocytes form after birth (in contrast to the continuous production of primary spermatocytes in the male after puberty). <P> An oocyte is produced in the ovary during female gametogenesis. The female germ cells produce a primordial germ cell (PGC), which then undergoes mitosis, forming oogonia. During oogenesis, the oogonia become primary oocytes. During the primary oocyte stage of oogenesis, the nucleus is called a germinal vesicle. The only normal human type of secondary oocyte has the 23rd (sex) chromosome as 23,X (female-determining), whereas sperm can have 23,X (female-determining) or 23,Y (male-determining). <P> Oogenesis, ovogenesis, or ooegenesis /oögenesis.ˌoʊ/ əˈdʒɛnɨsɪs is the creation of an (ovum egg). Cell it is the female form of; gametogenesis the male equivalent is. Spermatogenesis it involves the development of the various stages of the immature. ovum The succeeding phase of ootidogenesis occurs when the primary oocyte develops into an ootid. This is achieved by the process of meiosis. In fact, a primary oocyte is, by its biological definition, a cell whose primary function is to divide <P> 1 The primary oocyte and its follicular cells constitute the primordial follicle. 2 The follicular cell layer becomes cuboidal and then columnar as the primary oocyte enlarges at puberty and a primary follicle is formed. 3 A primary follicle with more than one layer of cuboidal follicular cells is called a growing follicle. 1 All of the oogonia enlarge to form primary oocytes, of which about 2 million are present at birth. 2 No primary oocytes form after birth (in contrast to the continuous production of primary spermatocytes in the male after puberty). <P> The formation of an oocyte is called oocytogenesis, which is a part of oogenesis. Oogenesis results in the formation of both primary oocytes before birth, and of secondary oocytes after it as part of ovulation. During the primary oocyte stage of oogenesis, the nucleus is called a germinal vesicle. The only normal human type of secondary oocyte has the 23rd (sex) chromosome as 23,X (female-determining), whereas sperm can have 23,X (female-determining) or 23,Y (male-determining). <P> Ad. In the first stage of oogenesis, the oogonium undergoes oocytogenesis, creating the primary oocyte through mitosis. Like the oogonium, the primary oocyte is a diploid cell, containing two complete sets of chromosomes. Sex cells are haploid cells, containing only half the amount of chromosomes in a diploid cell. Haploid cells are formed from diploid cells by meiosis. Through ootidogenesis, a form of meiosis, the primary oocyte produces the haploid secondary oocyte. The process of ootidogenesis is halted halfway through, which is called dictyate, until ovulation, when it is completed to produce the released egg or ootid. <P> An oocyte (UK /ˈoʊəsʌɪt/ , US /ˈoʊ.oʊ.saɪt/), ooecyte, oöcyte, ovocyte or rarely, ocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in.

<P> U.S. expectancy in 2011 was 78.7 years, which is slightly below the OECD average of 80.1. For U.S. men, the average life expectancy is 76, while it's 81 for U.S. women. (At five years, this gap in life expectancy between men and women is smaller than the OECD average of six years). The U.S. life expectancy comes in just behind Slovenia, at 80.1 years, and Denmark, at 79.9 years. <P> (Age in years from birth to death). Today humans have an average life span of 31.99 years in Swaziland and 82 years in Japan. The oldest confirmed recorded age for any human ever born is 122 years of age, though some people are reported to have lived longer there are no records to confirm these claims. Brief Synopsis: How long will I live for is a chart and picture graph of male and female life span expectant averages by country and average age to death. The oldest confirmed recorded age for any human ever born is 122 years of age.... Life expectancy is the average number of years of life remaining at a given age. It is the average expected lifespan of an individual. Today humans have an average life span of 31.99 years in Swaziland and 82 years in Japan. Our chart shows statistics for the average age you will live based on various world countrie <P> There are approximately 200 types of cells in the average human body alone, and the average life span varies from a few hours or days for certain blood cells to weeks and months for skin cells and years and even a lifetime for nerve and some brain cells. There is equal variance in plants and other animals. <P> Pre-Columbian North America 25–30 Medieval Islamic Caliphate 35+ Average lifespan of scholars was 59–84.3 years in the Middle East and 69–75 in Islamic Spain. Late medieval English peerage 30 At age 21, life expectancy was an additional 43 years (total age 64). Moreover, because life expectancy is an average, a particular person may well die many years before or many years after their expected survival. The term maximum life span has a quite different meaning and is more related to longevity. <P> In 1998, the average life span for a human, worldwide, was sixty-six years. However, life span is a complex trait, meaning that many factors, including family history, lifestyle, disease, and residence in a developed nation, determine how long an individual's life will be. <P> The average lifespan of an American human is around 77.5-80 years. For more info, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy Now the average lifespan is 79.5-82 years … old The oldest recorded person was 122 but it is rare for people to live or live longer than 102. 86 for a man and 100 for a woman. Well, according to the CIA's The World Factbook, the current average human lifespan is approximately 66 and a half years. On average the current life expectancy for the world is about 67.2 years. (see the first related link). The current average life expectancy for just the US is 78.3 years <P> Good news, America: We're living longer! Life expectancy in the USA rose in 2012 to 78.8 years – a record high. That was an increase of 0.1 year from 2011 when it was 78.7 years, according to a new report on mortality in the USA from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. The average life expectancy for a person who was 65 years old in 2012 is 19.3 years – 20.5 years for women and 17.9 years for men. The difference in life expectancy at 65 years between males and females increased 0.1 year from 2.5 years in 2011 to 2.6 years in 2012

what are cardiac muscles
|
<P> Adorable animal families that will make you aww. The cardiac muscle is the heart, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It is made up of cardiac muscle and is the only place in the body where such muscle is found. All the other muscles in the body are composed of either skeletal muscle or smooth muscle. The most muscular part of the heart is its middle layer, called the myocardium, which is mainly responsible for its contractions. <P> Click to read more below. Cardiac muscle tissue is an extremely specialized form of muscle tissue that has evolved to pump blood throughout the body. In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass <P> Cardiac muscle: A type of muscle tissue that is found only in the heart and is distinguishable from the two other forms of muscle, smooth muscle (that moves internal organs, such as the bowels, and vessels, such as the artery walls) and skeletal muscle (that powers joints). <P> Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex mechanism illustrates systole of the heart. Cardiac muscle cells, unlike most other tissues in the body, rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries help fulfill this function. <P> Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is involuntary striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. Cardiac muscle cells, unlike most other tissues in the body, rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries help fulfill this function. <P> Cardiac muscle (heart muscle). This type of muscle is found solely in the walls of the heart. It has similarities with skeletal muscles in that it is striated and with smooth muscles in that its contractions are not under conscious control. However this type of muscle is highly specialised <P> The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only three nuclei. The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, and forms a thick middle layer between the outer epicardium layer and the inner endocardium layer. Cardiac muscle cells, unlike most other tissues in the body, rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries help fulfill this function. <P> Cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. This is a specialized muscle that, while similar in some fundamental ways to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, has a unique structure and with an ability not possessed by muscle tissue elsewhere in the body. The muscular tissue of the heart is known as myocardium. The myocardium is composed of specialized cardiac muscle, which consists of bundles of muscle cells, technically known as myocytes. A myocyte, or muscle fiber, is a single cell of a muscle.

what is anaerobic energy system
|
<P> The anaerobic energy system provides energy in the absense of Oxygen. This is used in the first few minutes of all exercise, before there is suffiecient oxygen available at the muscles for aerobic metabolism. <P> There are two energy systems. The aerobic energy system, meaning 'with oxygen' which is used for long-term, steady paced exercise and day-to-day activities and Anaerobic energy system or 'without oxygen' which produces fast bursts of energy for short, powerful bursts. <P> 3) The short-term anaerobic energy system. Like its immediate energy system brother, the short-term anaerobic energy system also produces high-powered energy. However, it is a little more enduring and can provide energy for up to 90 seconds. This energy system is exemplified by the efforts of a 400m runner. <P> Like the alactic anaerobic energy system, this system is also anaerobic and so it does not require any oxygen. However, unlike the alactic anaerobic energy system, this system is lactic and so it does produce lactic acid. It is also referred to as the lactic acid system or the anaerobic glycolytic system. <P> There are two systems within Anaerobic metabolism, which are the ATP-PC system and the lactic acid system. ATP-PC System. ATP as already discussed is a high energy molecule which is broken down to form ADP and release energy. <P> Two and three: the anaerobic energy systems. The anaerobic energy system is the energy system of choice for the 100m sprinter. Anaerobic means without oxygen. Our bodies can create anaerobic energy in two ways through the: 1 immediate anaerobic energy system, and; 2 short-term anaerobic energy system. <P> Just like the lactic anaerobic energy system, the aerobic energy system must directly recruit the active cellular respiration process to provide. energy. Food energy is converted into. by your muscle cells through a very complex series of reactions. <P> For example, the alactic anaerobic energy system would be the main energy source for a 100 m sprint, or a short set of a weightlifting exercise. It can provide energy immediately, it does not require any oxygen (that's what anaerobic means), and it does not produce any lactic acid (that's what alactic means).

what is ambience
|
<P> A dark cave. This is where one will most likely hear ambience sounds. Ambience (cave sounds in Console Edition) is a set of sounds that occasionally play when the player is in close proximity to a dark cave.

what is the colour of iron
|
<P> The yellow colour of iron(III) in solution is due to species such as [Fe(III)(H2O)5OH]2+, which absorb strongly in the blue-near UV through charge transfer transitions, in which an electron is transferred from a coordinated anion to the reducible central ion. Iron(II) ion = green. Iron(III) ion = yellow. Rust (Iron oxide + water)= black or brown. Explain why the rust of iron is not green or yellow, but black or brown. Add your answer. Source. <P> Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Iron is pervasive, but particularly rich sources of dietary iron include red meat, lentils, beans, poultry, fish, leaf vegetables, watercress, tofu, chickpeas, black-eyed peas, blackstrap molasses, fortified bread, and fortified breakfast cereals. Iron in low amounts is found in molasses, teff, and farina <P> Pure iron is metallic in color, it absorbs visible light only very weakly due to d-d transitions which are forbidden by quantum mechanical selection rules for electronic trans … itions. 1 A List of Foods That Have High Concentrations of Iron Iron deficiency is one of the most common of the human nutritional deficiencies.

Best Answer: Iron (II) salts are usually very pale green in aqueous solution and Iron (III) salts are yellow in aqueous solution. These colours are caused by the absorption and emission of light at different wavelengths (colours) by the complex ions [Fe.6H2O]2+ and [Fe.6H2O]3+.

what nutrients are needed for wound healing
|
<P> Protein helps repair the damaged tissue from your wound. You'll want to take in more protein than usual to help the healing process. This means 2 to 3 servings of protein a day, with each serving containing at least 2 to 3 ounces of meat (1 cup of beans or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter are alternatives). Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for wound healing. It increases the strength of the wound as it heals, and it helps with the creation of collagen in the skin. Vitamin C is also important in the creation of new blood vessels, and it helps with iron absorption. <P> Review Review Nutrition plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of wounds and ulcers. This article outlines the role of nutrition in the prevention of wounds and the function of key nutrients in tissue viability. It describes how malnutrition can impair the healing process. Practical advice is provided enabling healthcare workers to assess and manage malnutrition in this complex patient group. <P> Good nutrition is needed to help heal both types of wounds. What You Need to Know Eating a variety of healthy foods is needed for wound healing. Your body needs more calories, protein, vitamins A and C, and the mineral zinc to help with the healing process. • Increase the amount of calories you eat. <P> Proper Nutrition in Wound Healing. Protein is the most important aspect of your diet when healing from a wound. Energy (calories from carbohydrates and fats), amino acids, antioxidants and minerals (zinc) are also important. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for wound healing. It increases the strength of the wound as it heals, and it helps with the creation of collagen in the skin. Vitamin C is also important in the creation of new blood vessels, and it helps with iron absorption. <P> 1 Vitamins – Vitamins are essential to build new tissue, to maintain tissue health, and to aid in normal immune function. 2 In terms of wound care, Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin K, Vitamin B complex, and Vitamin E are particularly important. 1 – 4. 1 Water – Water is essential to wound healing because a fluid environment is necessary for all cell functions. 2 Even in the absence of other nutritional deficits, dehydration will still result in impaired wound healing. <P> Egg yolk is high in vitamin A, which promotes collagen synthesis and supports healthy wound healing. In order for your body to heal properly and stave off wound infection, it must maintain healthy levels of vitamins and nutrients. <P> Even a small wound can alter the way your body metabolizes nutrients. As the body attempts to heal itself from a wound, it will create stress hormones and divert extra resources – carbohydrates, fats, proteins, antioxidants and more – to the creation of new tissue. This is referred to as the catabolic phase of healing. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for wound healing. It increases the strength of the wound as it heals, and it helps with the creation of collagen in the skin. Vitamin C is also important in the creation of new blood vessels, and it helps with iron absorption. <P> As we mentioned last week, a number of key nutrients are essential for both the prevention and management of chronic wounds. This week we will briefly review the major categories of nutrients, and describe their importance in wound care. 1 – 4. 1 Water – Water is essential to wound healing because a fluid environment is necessary for all cell functions. 2 Even in the absence of other nutritional deficits, dehydration will still result in impaired wound healing. <P> Nutrients provide fuel for healing. For a wound to heal successfully, patients need adequate amounts of nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Those who don't meet their nutritional needs are at risk for delayed wound healing and other wound-related complications. To avoid malnutrition and wound complications, patients need adequate calories, protein, and fluid. Based on input from your history and physical assessment, a dietitian will determine the amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals that your patient will need for wound healing. <P> Vitamins can help the body heal wounds Photo Credit Daily Vitamins and Minerals image by LynWatanabe.com from Fotolia.com. Wounds heal in a pattern--the bleeding stops, the body sends special chemicals to the injured site to repair cells, blood vessels regrow and new tissue forms. The body needs vitamin B1, also called thiamine, to break down carbohydrates and proteins. A deficiency in thiamine results in less collagen production needed for wounds to heal. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb thiamine and coffee and tea can reduce the amount of thiamine in the body.

what are protozoan infections
|
<P> Noun. 1. protozoal infection-any infection caused by a protozoan. malaria-an infective disease caused by sporozoan parasites that are transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito; marked by paroxysms of chills and fever. <P> Protozoa. Protozoa are microscopic, one-celled organisms that can be free-living or parasitic in nature. They are able to multiply in humans, which contributes to their survival and also permits serious infections to develop from just a single organism. Protozoa that live in the blood or tissue of humans are transmitted to other humans by an arthropod vector (for example, through the bite of a mosquito or sand fly). Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan. A microscope is necessary to view this parasite. Credit CDC <P> Primary Cause of Protozoan infections. The primary cause of Protozoan infections is the result: 1 of transmission of an infectious disease. 2 Some subtypes of this disease are contagious-spread easily between people, while other subtypes are infectious-transmitted by a pathogenic organism. <P> African Sleeping Sickness. African sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the protozoa, which are carried by the tsetse fly and are transmitted to humans through tsetse fly bites. This disease is fairly damaging to the human body and can cause serious illness. There are four main groups of protozoa that cause infection in humans. They have been grouped according to how they move: the sarcodina (ameba), mastigophora (flagellates), ciliophora (ciliates) and the Sporozoa. <P> Protozoan infections are parasitic diseases caused by organisms formerly classified in the Kingdom Protozoa. They include organisms classified in Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata. Examples include Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium (some of which cause malaria), and Giardia lamblia. Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted by the tsetse fly and the cause of African sleeping sickness, is another example. <P> A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites. Protozoa that live in the blood or tissue of humans are transmitted to other humans by an arthropod vector (for example, through the bite of a mosquito or sand fly). Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan. A microscope is necessary to view this parasite. Credit CDC <P> Protozoan infections: A condition which is characterized by an infection caused by protozoans. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Protozoan infections is available below. Medical research articles related to Protozoan infections include: 1 Trichomoniasis (Follow-up). 2 Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (Treatment). 3 Trichomoniasis (Diagnosis). 4 Sarcoidosis (Diagnosis). 5 Trichomoniasis <P> 3. African sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the protozoa, which are carried by the tsetse fly and are transmitted to humans through tsetse fly bites. This disease is fairly damaging to the human body and can cause serious illness. There are four main groups of protozoa that cause infection in humans. They have been grouped according to how they move: the sarcodina (ameba), mastigophora (flagellates), ciliophora (ciliates) and the Sporozoa. <P> Single-celled parasites living and multiplying in the body are referred to as protozoan infections. The general term for these parasites is protozoa. Protozoa enter the body through the mouth or skin. Protozoa that enter through the mouth usually do so through unclean water or food. Protozoa that enter through the skin usually do so through an insect bite.

what is crimea
|
<P> Crimea is a region of southern Ukraine located on a peninsula on the north shore of the Black Sea. Crimea is nominally autonomous (it has its own parliament) but has been part of Ukraine since the 1950s and under the federal Ukraine constitution and capital of Kiev. <P> Crimea is a centre of pro-Russian sentiment, which can spill into separatism. The region-a peninsula on Ukraine's Black Sea coast-has 2.3 million people, a majority of whom identify themselves as ethnic Russians and speak Russian. Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine, electing its own parliament, with a prime minister appointed with approval from Kiev. But now Crimean MPs have appointed a pro-Moscow leader, Sergei Aksyonov, who wants Crimea to unite with Russia, and has called the referendum. <P> They were followed by the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire, which conquered the coastal areas as well, in the 15th to 18th centuries. The modern history of Crimea begins with the annexation by the Russian Empire in 1783. In 1921 the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created. This republic was dissolved in 1945, and the Crimea became an oblast first of the Russian SSR (1945-1954) and then the Ukrainian SSR (1954-1991). During the 2014 Crimean crisis, independence was declared and a referendum on whether to join Russia was held. The peninsula subsequently was annexed to the Russian Federation as two federal subjects —the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. <P> The Republic of Crimea, officially part of Ukraine, lies on a peninsula stretching out from the south of Ukraine between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. It is separated from Russia to the east by the narrow Kerch Strait. Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire during the reign of Catherine The Great in 1783 and remained part of Russia until 1954, when it was transferred to Ukraine under the then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. <P> Russia has been the dominant power in Crimea for most of the past 200 years, since it annexed the region in 1783. But it was transferred by Moscow to Ukraine-then part of the Soviet Union-in 1954. Some ethnic Russians see that as a historical wrong. Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine, electing its own parliament, with a prime minister appointed with approval from Kiev. But now Crimean MPs have appointed a pro-Moscow leader, Sergei Aksyonov, who wants Crimea to unite with Russia, and has called the referendum. <P> Now known as Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the picturesque peninsula shooting out into Black Sea from mainland Ukraine was for centuries colonized and conquered by historic empires and nomadic tribes. Greeks, Scythians, Byzantians and the Genoese have all left traces of their presence in Crimean archeological sites and placenames. The Russian Empire annexed the territory of Crimea in the last quarter of the 18th century, after a number of bloody wars with the Ottoman Empire. <P> Crimea is strategically important as a base for the Russian navy. The Black Sea Fleet has been based on the peninsula since it was founded by Prince Potemkin in 1783. <P> The region voted heavily for Viktor Yanukovych in the 2010 presidential election, and many people there believe he is the victim of a coup-prompting separatists in Crimea's parliament to vote for joining the Russian Federation and a referendum on secession. Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine, electing its own parliament, with a prime minister appointed with approval from Kiev. But now Crimean MPs have appointed a pro-Moscow leader, Sergei Aksyonov, who wants Crimea to unite with Russia, and has called the referendum. <P> After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Crimea became a republic within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the USSR. In World War Two it was downgraded to the Crimean Oblast, and in 1954, the Crimean Oblast was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. In English usage since the early modern period the Crimean Khanate is referred to as Crim Tartary. The Italian form Crimea (and Crimean peninsula) also becomes current during the 18th century, gradually replacing the classical name of Tauric peninsula in the course of the 19th century. <P> The peninsula of Crimea in southern Ukraine is at the centre of what is being seen as the biggest crisis between Russia and the West since the Cold War. Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine, electing its own parliament, with a prime minister appointed with approval from Kiev. But now Crimean MPs have appointed a pro-Moscow leader, Sergei Aksyonov, who wants Crimea to unite with Russia, and has called the referendum.

<P> The biggest cause of mercury in our food supply is from industrial waste and often is consumed by eating fish and shellfish. Lead is another toxic metal that enters our bodies through drinking water and through the food we eat. <P> The term heavy metal refers to any metallic chemical element that has a relatively high density and is toxic or poisonous at low concentrations. Heavy metals are natural components of the Earth's crust. They cannot be degraded or destroyed. To a small extent they enter our bodies via food, drinking water and air. <P> It’s one of the public health’s top ten goals for the 20 th century, creating a safer, more toxic-free food supply, but meanwhile virtually all food products are contaminated with various chemicals, bacteria, heavy metals, and residues from pesticides. <P> Toxic metals can be present in industrial, municipal, and urban runoff, which can be harmful to humans and aquatic life. Increased urbanization and industrialization are to blame for an increased level of trace metals, especially heavy metals, in our waterways. <P> We’re not talking Ozzy here, but in fact heavy metals that can be very harmful to your health if found in your drinking water.

normal resting heart rate woman
|
<P> Thus, a normal heart rate for women is between 70 to 80 beats per minute. For women that are into health and fitness and exercise regularly this range may go down and be between 45 to 60 beats per minute. Your heart rate is affected by factors such as: The normal heart rate for women is a measure of the resting rate. The resting heart rate is measured in BPM-beats per minute-which is a measurement that is best taken when you are breathing normally. <P> While the normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60-100 beats per minute, conditioned athletes and other highly fit individuals might have normal resting heart rates of 40-60 beats per minute. <P> When someone refers to resting pulse rate, it often means the rate at which the heart beats when the body is at rest. Resting pulse rates within a normal range is an indication of good health, asserts the National Institutes of Health. For women, a normal resting heart rate isn't different than in a man. The National Institutes of Health state that 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal for a resting pulse rate. Any female over 10 years of age should fall within this resting pulse rate range, unless they are well-trained athletically. In this situation, the normal resting heart rate can be as low as 40 to 60 beats per minute, maintains MayoClinic.com. Resting Pulse Rate. The National Institutes of Health state that 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal for a resting pulse rate. Any female over 10 years of age should fall within this resting pulse rate range, unless they are well-trained athletically. <P> A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath. <P> Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you. <P> Feb. 3, 2009 -- A woman's resting pulse rate is a good predictor of her heart attack risk regardless of other risk factors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, researchers say. A team of scientists analyzed records of 129,135 postmenopausal women who had no history of heart problems. The relationship between resting heart rate and coronary risk was stronger in women less than 65 years old than in women over 65. The data for the study came from the Women's Health Initiative. Women with a history of heart attack, stroke, or similar serious problems were excluded. <P> For adults 18 and older, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the person’s physical condition and age. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. <P> The normal resting adult human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm. Tachycardia is a fast heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. During sleep a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common and is considered normal.

what makes the DNA a good information bearing molecule?
|
<P> Nucleotides that form the strands of the DNA structure are complex molecules which consist of both a phosphate moiety and a nucleobase (adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine) joined to a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose). In RNA, the five-carbon sugar ribose replaces deoxyribose. The DNA structure consists of two chainlike molecules (polynucleotides) that twist around each other to form the classic double-helix. The cell s machinery forms polynucleotide chains by linking together four nucleotides. <P> DNA structure. DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code. Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. These instructions are found inside every cell, and are passed down from parents to their children. <P> Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˌɒksiˌraɪbɵ.njuːˌkleɪ.ɨk ˈaesɪd/ ; ˈæSɪD) dna is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions used in the, development functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many. viruses <P> Chemically, DNA is a long polymer of simple units called nucleotides, with a backbone made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases. It is the sequence of these four bases along the backbone that encodes information. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. <P> Answers.

what is the recommended amount of water to drink daily
|
<P> While a lot of people may disagree about the exact amount of water you should drink each day, and that your needs will differ from others with different body types. While no specific measurement will fit all people, I consulted Dr. Pamila Brar to get some basic guidelines. In a healthy adult, the kidneys can filter and excrete 15 liters of water a day. So you are unlikely to get too much water, provided you don't drink an enormous amount at one time. <P> Learn how much water you should drink every day. You need half of your body weight in ounces of water daily. This is the number most individuals recognize and aspire to for their daily water intake. A good rule for drinking the right amount of water is to drink one glass of water each hour. An average person should drink this amount of water daily. It is the recommended daily water intake amount to drink 12 glasses of water. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water. Drinking a good amount of water could lower your risks of a heart attack <P> Health experts say that the average person should drink eight 8-ounce (236.6-mL) glasses of water daily. Exactly how much water you should drink each day can depend on how big you are, however. Some healthcare professionals recommend drinking half an ounce (14.8 mL) per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), you should drink 75 ounces (2.2 liters) of water daily. Other factors that can affect how much water you should drink daily include your physical activity level, the climate where you live, your diet and certain other health or medical factors. I drink 150-180 ounces of water a day, about 1.25 gallons. But I train for mixed martial arts, so I need a lot of water. Drinking water is one of the healthiest things you can consume daily. If you don't like it, I suggest you stop drinking the soda and learn to like water. <P> The body loses 2.5 percent of body water every day, and this rate goes up with exercise and sport. The daily water intake calculator factors in the daily activity level to counter the body water lost during exercise. It is recommended that you drink 16 ounces of water for every pound of body weight lost during exercise. <P> Experts say that you should drink at least eight glasses of water every day; a glass of water is about 8 ounces US or about .236 milliliters. That estimate assumes that your environment is normally cool, you are about 150 pounds or about 68 kilograms, and exercise in some form, about 20 minutes a day. Recent studies have revealed that there is no set requirement of water per day. You should drink when you are thirsty. If your urine is white or slightly yellow, it's a good indication that you are hydrated. But every individual has different water consumption requirements and it is difficult to apply a general rule. <P> So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day. <P> It is: Half your weight (in pounds) is how many ounces of water you should consume every day. So, for example, if you weigh 180 pounds, your goal would be to drink 90 ounces of water per day.

what is parenchymal
|
<P> Parenchyma is the medical term used to describe those tissues that characterize an organ as opposed to those tissues which are providing supporting or connective function. It basically related to the functioning of any organ. <P> Parenchymal scarring is scarring of the tissue in the lungs. It can be caused by a number of things and may be referred to with additional terms to provide information about its location or nature; apical parenchymal scarring, for example, is scarring at the tip of the lung. <P> The parenchyma are the functional parts of an organ in the body. This is in contrast to the stroma, which refers to the structural tissue of organs, namely, the connective tissues. <P> Our kidney consists of renal parenchyma and renal pelvis, and renal parenchyma consists of renal cortex and renal medulla, which are the parts that are in charge of regulating our internal body balance. Renal parenchymal disease means kidney disease appears and causes damage in their renal parenchyma. <P> Parenchymal lung diseases can broadly be divided into those that create an abnormal increase in density on a chest radiograph and those that cause increased lucency. <P> Definition of PARENCHYMA. 1. : the essential and distinctive tissue of an organ or an abnormal growth as distinguished from its supportive framework. 2. <P> The most common causes of renal parenchymal disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. Besides, medicines, bacteria, virus, kidney stone, etc, are also common causes of renal parenchymal diseases. Genetic factor is also a cause of renal parenchymal disease, and polycystic kidney disease is the typical example. <P> The causes of renal parenchymal disease are various. Some of them can damage patient’s kidney function gradually, which will lead to kidney failure eventually, and they are known as chronic kidney disease. Some can cause patients to have acute kidney disease, and cause severe condition in a short time.

what is the difference between act and law
|
<P> An Act is a statute, Law, or a decision by a legislative or judicial body such as an Act of Congress. A Bill is a legislative proposal offered for debate before its enactment. … A statute in draft before it becomes the law. There are two different types of laws-there is common law and statutory law. Statutory Law is law which is created by Parliament and written down in an act and is binding on all courts in the country. Common law is law created by the courts in case law and follows a system of precedent to decide what is binding. <P> An act is a law.. Before being passed by a legislative body, a piece of legislation is called a bill, which is not yet a law.. Once an bill has been passed by the requisite number of votes and is signed by an executive authority, it then becomes an act (enacted) and at that point, it becomes law. An Act is a law passed by a legislative body. An Ordinance usually has to do with municipal governments, such as a county or city. Example: A law setting zoning stan … dards for a community. <P> What Is The Difference Between Law And Act.

Act, where it also refers to a set of rules, originally means a legislative act, issued is an. jurisdiction. <P> Best Answer: An act is passed by Parliament, which is (arguably) the highest form of law in the land. An act of parliament is the primary legislation of the UK. A regulation is two things (just to confuse things a little more!) firstly a regulation is a form of secondary legislation. An Act is a law that has been directly passed by the Houses of Parliament and to which the Queen has assented. Regulations are rules (having the force of law) passed by a body to which Parliament has delegated the power to make such rules. SteveT · 8 years ago. <P> Report Abuse.

how long does it take to become a lineman
|
<P> 65 months ago. You dont get a degree, you got through an apprenticeship program that consists of on the job training and supplementary course work. Usually takes 3 1/2 to 4 years to become a journeyman lineman. You can apply at a utility if they are hiring, but usually they hire from within. union hands make the top wages. typically, a JOURNEYMAN lineman makes between $30 to $50+ depending on your local. i think long island, NY makes the highest in the country at 50 some dollars an hour. <P> The BLS reports the average annual salary for electrical linemen was $68,270 in 2013, although that salary includes apprentice, journeyman and master linemen. The overall salary range was $48,090 to $89,910. You must complete specific educational and experience requirements to become a journeyman lineman. Once you achieve journeyman status, you can work independently and also have the opportunity to work for companies other than the one that trained you. <P> What is the pay scale? There are 7 step levels in the program and apprentice’s pay rate is based on their step level. Each step level is a percentage of the journeyman lineman’s wage rate for that local. A first step, entry level apprentice makes 60% of the journeyman lineman’s wage. How much does it cost? How much does the training cost? The workbooks are text references cost a total of a little more than $464.00 for the first year. The second and third years texts are less expensive, respectively $264.00 for 2nd year and $286.00 for 3rd year. This is subject to changes in manufacturer costs and/or change in text book offering <P> Line installers and repairers, usually called linemen regardless of gender, need both technical instruction and long-term training on the job. Most linemen begin with vocational training, complete an apprenticeship and then go on to become journeymen before becoming independent workers. This occupation requires a broad knowledge of telecommunications technology and electrical utilities. You must complete specific educational and experience requirements to become a journeyman lineman. Once you achieve journeyman status, you can work independently and also have the opportunity to work for companies other than the one that trained you. <P> How can i start the ball in motion to become a power lineman; the quickest route. Is there some type of 4 month training program that could help me get a job as a power lineman? I can't afford to go to school for years just months as i get liad off in the winter time and could do a course then. <P> The Outside Lineman program is set up as a 3 ½ year apprenticeship. However, each individual completes at a different time. There is a minimum of 7,000 total hours of required on-the-job training. Of these 7,000 hours, there are specific amounts of required types of training. An apprentice may be in the program beyond the 7,000 hours while working on the specific type of training. <P> Some states require certification for journeymen linemen. Step 1. Enter an apprenticeship program to get experience and advance to become a journeyman. Journeymen linemen advance to journey-level after approximately three to five years of classroom and on-the-job training. Employer requirements vary to become a journeyman, but typically require an extensive apprenticeship. Linemen are professionals who install, repair and maintain electrical power and telecommunications systems. Generally, linemen maintain electrical and telecommunications equipment in power stations and on telephone poles on the street. <P> Apprentices in the Tennessee Valley Authority's Lineman Apprentice Program are paid a fixed salary based on their level of training. 2012 TVA apprentice wages ranged from $36,450 to $54,360 per year. Hourly wages for a journeyman outside lineman with the Northwest Line were $44.73 as of February 2012, resulting in an annual wage of $93,038 for full-time workers. <P> However, each individual completes at a different time.

what is an technician
|
<P> A pharmacy technician, sometimes known as a pharmaceutical technician, is a health care provider who performs pharmacy-related functions, generally working under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. In the National Health Service (NHS) Pharmacy Technicians work under the direct supervision of a Senior/ Specialist Pharmacy Technician and is accountable to the Chief Pharmacy Technician/ Lead Pharmacist even if not in a dispensary and work mainly in one of two areas, hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy. <P> LINK / CITE ADD TO WORD LIST. noun. The definition of a technician is a person whose job or training involves a specific technical process, or is someone skilled or trained in a specific art or craft. An example of a technician is a person who works in a lab and who runs a machine that separates bacteria from blood samples in order to test for illness. <P> Generally, Technician roles are based in the subjects of Science, Engineering or Technology, and involve the practical application of knowledge, proven techniques and procedures. Around two million people are employed in the UK as Technicians and Skilled Operatives, playing a vital role in the UK economy. There are currently different technician registration schemes in Science, Engineering and IT, and work is underway to create a technician registration framework across all STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) sectors. <P> technician. a person skilled in the performance of the technical or procedural aspects of a profession. Generally, the minimum preparation for this role is a course of training of 2 years full time or the equivalent. The technician carries out the routine work of the profession under the supervision of a veterinar <P> noun tech·ni·cian \tek-ˈni-shən\.

See technician defined for English-language learners. See technician defined for kids. <P> A technician is a worker in a field of technology who is proficient in the relevant skills and techniques, with a relatively practical understanding of the theoretical principles. Thus a 'stage technician' is a worker who provides technical support for putting on a play, while a 'medical technician' is an employee who provides technical support in the medical industry or to the medical profession. <P> Practical training, such as completing an internship in a pharmacy, is also often required as part of training for employment as a pharmacy technician. Many employers favor pharmacy technicians to be certified with a national or local pharmacy board, such as by passing a standard exam and/or paying a fee. In the National Health Service (NHS) Pharmacy Technicians work under the direct supervision of a Senior/ Specialist Pharmacy Technician and is accountable to the Chief Pharmacy Technician/ Lead Pharmacist even if not in a dispensary and work mainly in one of two areas, hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy. <P> In Canada, according to a 2007 profile of the pharmacy technician workforce, 43% of technicians work in hospitals and other related facilities, 37% in chain or franchise community pharmacies, and 16% in independent community pharmacies. In the National Health Service (NHS) Pharmacy Technicians work under the direct supervision of a Senior/ Specialist Pharmacy Technician and is accountable to the Chief Pharmacy Technician/ Lead Pharmacist even if not in a dispensary and work mainly in one of two areas, hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy. <P> The word Technician may bring to mind the image of someone in a white lab coat, helping set up practical work in school Science lessons, but the roles now covered by this term span a range of sectors and specialist skills.

dna packaging in prokaryotes vs eukaryotes
|
<P> 1 The cell walls of prokaryotes are generally formed of a different molecule (peptidoglycan) to those of eukaryotes (many eukaryotes do not have a cell wall at all). 2 Prokaryotes are usually much smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes wrap their DNA around proteins called histones. Multiple proteins act together to fold and condense prokaryotic DNA. Folded DNA is then organized into a variety of conformations that are supercoiled and wound around tetramers of the HU protein. <P> Differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic DNA Replication. Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication are largely related to contrasts in size and complexity of the DNA and cells of these organisms. The average eukaryotic cell has 25 times more DNA than a prokaryotic cell. In prokaryotic cells, there is only one point of origin, replication occurs in two opposing directions at the same time, and takes place in the cell cytoplasm. <P> Eukaryotic DNA is organized in genes that each code for a single protein, although in some cases multiple genes might be transcribed at the same time. About 5 percent of eukaryotic DNA codes for proteins or RNA, but much of the remaining DNA helps identify gene and control gene expression. The types of proteins found in prokaryotic chromosomes, known as the nucleoid-associated proteins, differ from the histone proteins that appear in eukaryotic chromosomes and cause the prokaryotic chromosomes to form looped structures. <P> Bacteria is made of prokaryotic cells. Plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells. In addition to not having a nucleus (the main difference), prokaryotes also have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA. As such, prokaryotes do not have okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication. DNA is a nucleic acid. It is not an organism or creature by itself. However, DNA is the carrier of genetic information contained within both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. … Therefore, DNA is found within cells. <P> by admin. Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic DNA. All the organisms are classified as either Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic. The Organisms that lack nucleus or membrane bounded organelles are called prokaryote while eukaryotes have ‘true’ nuclei that contain DNA and membrane bound organelles. • In eukaryotes, DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus, but some are in mitochondria and chloroplast while, in prokaryotes, it is found in the cytoplasm. • DNA usually occurs as circular chromosomes in Prokaryotes while it is linear chromosomes in Eukaryotes. <P> At the chemical level, the DNA of prokaryotic cells, which have no nuclear membranes, and that of eukaryotic cells, which have separate, membrane-enclosed nuclei, is identical. The types of proteins found in prokaryotic chromosomes, known as the nucleoid-associated proteins, differ from the histone proteins that appear in eukaryotic chromosomes and cause the prokaryotic chromosomes to form looped structures. <P> DNA in pro-/eukaryotes. Cells are the basal unit of all living organisms (except virusses, but these are not true, independently living organisms). There are two kinds of cells on the earth: types of cells: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells (eu = true; karyon = nucleus, pit). <P> Eukaryotic Chromosomes. 1 Many prokaryotes contain a single circular chromosome. 2 Prokaryotic chromosomes are condensed in the nucleoid via DNA supercoiling and the binding of various architectural proteins. 3 Because prokaryotic DNA can interact with the cytoplasm, transcription and translation occur simultaneously. Whereas eukaryotes wrap their DNA around proteins called histones to help package the DNA into smaller spaces, most prokaryotes do not have histones (with the exception of those species in the domain Archaea). <P> The distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is considered to be the most important distinction among groups of organisms. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA. Eukaryotes wrap their DNA around proteins called histones. Multiple proteins act together to fold and condense prokaryotic DNA. Folded DNA is then organized into a variety of conformations that are supercoiled and wound around tetramers of the HU protein. <P> The organization of prokaryotic DNA therefore differs from that of eukaryotes in several important ways. The most notable difference is the condensation process that prokaryotic DNA molecules undergo in order to fit inside relatively small cells. Whereas eukaryotes wrap their DNA around proteins called histones to help package the DNA into smaller spaces, most prokaryotes do not have histones (with the exception of those species in the domain Archaea).

how long after exposure to poison ivy does rash appear
|
<P> The reaction usually develops 12 to 48 hours after exposure and lasts two to three weeks. The severity of the rash depends on the amount of urushiol that gets on your skin. A section of skin with more urushiol on it may develop a rash sooner. <P> In some rare cases medical attention might be necessary. How Long Does Poison Ivy Take to Heal. Poison ivy rash can appear as early as 3 to 4 hours or as late as 7 to 10 days after exposure to the plant. It all depends upon the level of sensitivity of the individual to the plant. The allergic reaction can be triggered by direct contact with any poison ivy plant part, be it the leaf, stem or tendrils. <P> An allergic reaction can appear within a few hours after exposure to a poisonous plant, depending on how much urushiol was absorbed and how sensitive the person is to the toxin. If skin is cleaned immediately following poison plant exposure, it is possible to minimize the reaction and prevent the rash from spreading. A person with a poison ivy, oak or sumac rash is not contagious. The rash is an allergic reaction that occurs after a poisonous chemical called urushiol binds to the skin. Urushiol can only be removed by washing the skin with soap and water or a non-irritating cleanser that removes toxins. <P> Poison ivy and poison oak rashes are caused by allergy to a substance called urushiol found in these plants. Since urushiol is found in all parts of the plant (leaves, stems, and roots), contact with any of these will induce a rash. <P> Answers. Best Answer: As a rule, the rash of poison ivy will show up anywhere from two to ten days after exposure, depending upon both how allergic you are to the plant oil, and how much oil got onto your skin. <P> Symptoms of Poison Ivy. Within a few days of contact with the poison ivy plant, a rash appears in nearly 90 percent of those infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. <P> The rash itself is not contagious, and the fluid in the blisters does not spread the rash. Poison ivy dermatitis appears as soon as four hours or as long as 10 days after the exposure, depending on individual sensitivity and the amount exposure. As the rash appears, any sensitivity a person had begins to increase. One starts to react to the slightest traces of a few molecules on the skin <P> The symptoms vary in severity from person to person. Urushiol (the allergenic component of the sap) can begin to penetrate the skin within 5-10 minutes of contact. Poison ivy rash can appear in as little as 4 hours or as long as 2-3 weeks after exposure. Generally, you'll see the first blisters within 1-14 days. Symptoms include: 1 Red, swollen, itchy skin with a rash that can be widespread depending on contact areas. <P> Dealing with the rash. If you don't cleanse quickly enough, or your skin is so sensitive that cleansing didn't help, redness and swelling will appear in about 12 to 48 hours. Blisters and itching will follow. For those rare people who react after their very first exposure, the rash appears after seven to 10 days. <P> Poison ivy, oak, and sumac are plants that can cause a red, itchy rash called allergic contact dermatitis. It is the most common skin problem caused by contact with plants. The rash is caused by contact with a sticky oil called urushiol (say yoo-ROO-shee-all) found in poison ivy, oak, or sumac. You can get the rash from: 1 Touching or brushing against any part of these plants, including the leaves, stems, flowers, berries, and roots, even if the plant is dead

what is temperature, heat and thermal energy
|
<P> This is explained by thermal energy. When the thermal energy of a solid is increases, the motion of the particles is increased and the temperature increases. This added thermal energy causes the particles to move rapidly so that their motion overcomes the forces holding the particles together. Solids, Liquids, and Gases. <P> These molecules move (or vibrate) constantly. A rise in the temperature of matter makes the particles vibrate faster. Thermal energy is what we call energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and the therefore the higher its thermal energy. For example, a cup of hot tea has thermal energy in the form of kinetic energy from its vibrating particles. When you pour some milk into your hot tea, some of this energy is transferred from the hot tea to the particles in the cold milk. <P> Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another or even created at the expense of the loss of other forms of energy. To review, temperature is a measure of the ability of a substance, or more generally of any physical system, to transfer heat energy to another physical system. If two objects-or if a system and its surroundings-have a different temperature, then they have a different ability to transfer heat. <P> Temperature is the average kinetic energy of all particles, but thermal energy is the total amount of energy within a solid, liquid or gas. Thermal energy implies … that energy is being produced and maintained in a closed system. Temperature is a stable measurement of something. 46 people found this useful. Temperature vs. Heat : When you think of temperature, you probably think hot or cold.. To scientists, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The more kinetic energy the particles have, the higher the temperature of the <P> Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. <P> Temperature vs. Thermal Energy temperature — average kinetic energy (energy of motion) or average speed of all the particles in a material a. higher temp. = particles move faster and farther apart b. lower temp. = particles move slower and closer together thermal energy — total kinetic energy of all the particles in a material heat —energy transferred between two objects of different temperature more molecules = more thermal energy 95°C 100°C heat transfer more thermal energy less thermal energy. <P> Thermal energy is the portion of the thermodynamic or internal energy of a system that is responsible for the temperature of the system. The thermal energy of a system scales with its size and is therefore an extensive property. Microscopically, the thermal energy may include both the kinetic energy and potential energy of a system's constituent particles, which may be atoms, molecules, electrons, or particles. It originates from the individually random, or disordered, motion of particles in a large ensemble <P> Thermal energy, which is more commonly known as heat, is a form of energy. It is measured in joules. Thermal energy is an internal energy for a given system. Thermal energy is the cause for the temperature of a system. Every system having a temperature above absolute zero has a positive thermal energy. Thermal energy is a form of random energy, which is not able to do work, when the whole system is considered. Higher the thermal energy of a system higher will be the randomness of the system. Thermal energy can be converted in to mechanical energy using a heat engine. <P> Another example of the difference between heat and thermal energy is a lit candle. A candle generates thermal energy (particle kinetic energy) as long as it burns. That thermal energy is then released from the candle towards the surroundings (Wilson. 1994. Page 380).

how does a blood test check kidney function
|
<P> Creatinine Blood Test. A blood test for the level of creatinine in the blood is one way to check kidney function. The normal ranges are 0.8 to 1.2 mg/dl for males and 0.6-0.9 mg/dl for females. The kidney helps to maintain the creatinine levels of the blood. A test for the blood urea nitrogen helps test for the proper function of the kidney. As urea is a waste product of protein metabolism built up after the breakdown of protein; the kidneys are responsible for its proper disposal. The kidneys dispose of the urea by filtering it and creating urine. <P> Urine Tests. One of the primary functions of the kidneys is to filter blood and remove waste products. Urine tests measure how well your kidney filters (see figure) are working. When functioning normally, glomerular filters are able to filter out wastes, but keep protein and red blood cells in the bloodstream. Tests Used to Diagnose Kidney Disease. Several types of tests are used to diagnose and evaluate different types of kidney disease: 1 Kidney function is determined using blood and urine tests. 2 Imaging tests are a relatively painless and low-risk way of providing useful information about kidney structure. <P> As kidney function decreases, the BUN level increases. Urine Tests. Some urine tests require only a few ounces of urine. But some tests require collection of all urine produced for a full 24 hours. A 24-hour urine test shows how much urine your kidneys produce in 1 day. The test also can give an accurate measurement of how much protein leaks from the kidney into the urine in 1 day <P> Glomerular Filtration Rate(GFR). This test is a measure of how well the kidneys are removing wastes and excess fluid from the blood. It may be calculated from the serum creatinine level using your age, weight, gender and body size. Normal GFR can vary according to age (as you get older it can decrease). The normal value for GFR is 90 or above <P> Blood and urine tests show how well the kidneys are doing their job. Urine tests can show how quickly body wastes are being removed and whether the kidneys are leaking abnormal amounts of protein. Here's a quick guide to the tests used to measure kidney function. This test is a measure of how well the kidneys are removing wastes and excess fluid from the blood. It may be calculated from the serum creatinine level using your age, weight, gender and body size. Normal GFR can vary according to age (as you get older it can decrease). <P> Blood Tests. The simplest way to monitor kidney function is to obtain blood tests for BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine. These two substances are normal metabolic waste products that are excreted by the kidneys. Urea is a byproduct of protein breakdown, and creatinine is a byproduct of normal muscle functioning. Tests Used to Diagnose Kidney Disease. Several types of tests are used to diagnose and evaluate different types of kidney disease: 1 Kidney function is determined using blood and urine tests. 2 Imaging tests are a relatively painless and low-risk way of providing useful information about kidney structure. <P> Tests to check kidney function. When kidney function is decreased, substances such as urea, creatinine, and certain electrolytes begin to build up in the blood. The following tests measure levels of these substances to show how well your kidneys are working. 1 The doctor can use the GFR to regularly check how well the kidneys are working and to stage your kidney disease. 2 A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures how much nitrogen from the waste product urea is in your blood. 3 BUN level rises when the kidneys aren't working well enough to remove urea from <P> GFR is estimated from results of a blood-based creatinine test. It is an indication of how well your kidneys are working to remove wastes from your blood. GFR is calculated using the serum creatinine and other factors such as age and gender. In the early stages of kidney disease GFR may be normal. <P> A creatinine clearance test compares the creatinine in a 24-hour sample of urine to the creatinine level in the blood, to show how many milliliters of blood the kidneys are filtering out each minute (ml/min). Urine Tests. Some urine tests require only a few ounces of urine. But some tests require collection of all urine produced for a full 24 hours. A 24-hour urine test shows how much urine your kidneys produce in 1 day. <P> Healthy kidneys remove wastes and excess fluid from the blood. Blood tests show whether the kidneys are failing to remove wastes. Urine tests can show how quickly body wastes are being removed and whether the kidneys are also leaking abnormal amounts of protein. Urine Tests. Some urine tests require only a few ounces of urine. But some tests require collection of all urine produced for a full 24 hours. A 24-hour urine test shows how much urine your kidneys produce in 1 day.

Its modern origins are regarded as Dutch-Flemish, but its true origins are Old French, and specifically Breton. It is a development of Coet, a residential name for one who dwelt at a cottage, although the name was also baptismal, and in this form was pre 10 <P> Coetzee Meaning: The meaning of Coetzee has not been submitted. If you have the meaning of Coetzee, please submit it with along with any reference pages referring to the meaning of Coetzee. <P> You can use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Coetzee surname lived over the years. While the questions in census records vary from place to place, and year to year, you can generally find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, occupations, etc. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

what age to wean dairy calves
|
<P> Most calves are weaned between 120 and 290 days (3 to 10 months) after birth, but most producers like to wean their calves when they're around 205 (6 months) of age. Weight is also a factor, with the minimum being generally around 132lb (60kg). <P> Calves can be ready for weaning by 3 to 4 weeks of age; however, in Penn State studies calves weaned at 3 weeks required extra attention. The increased time and labor required to get these calves eating starter suggest that waiting until 4 weeks of age would be prudent. <P> Calves weaned at 3 weeks were fed exactly the same in these two trials. In addition, calves were fed a high quality, free-choice calf starter (22% protein on a dry matter basis) with special attention to assisting calves to eat if they had not begun consuming starter by 5 days of age. <P> Bottle-fed calves can be weaned after one month of age, while calves nursing cows are weaned between 3 and 8 months of age. It is usually best to wean at the older age. For comparing weight of calves weaned at different ages, a 205-day weaning weight is sometimes calculated. <P> 1 Calves are ideally weaned when they are 7 to 8 months old. 2 The right time to wean a calf depends on the condition of the cow and not the age of the calf. 3 Calves should be weaned before the condition score of the cow falls below 2,5 if adequate winter feed is available and the cows maintain their condition. <P> Traditionally, calves are weaned at six to seven months of age. In typical spring calving herds in the northern Great Plains, this is usually October or November. However, during drought, forage is generally limiting and early weaning should be considered as a management tool. <P> Weaning age can have a large impact on calf raising costs. Dairy calves are ready to be weaned when they eat 1.5 to 2 lbs of calf starter for 3 consecutive days. <P> Calves are generally weaned between 8-10 months of age. The actual age depends on several factors: 1 Feed availability-cows can continue lactation without losing condition in good years, but early weaning should be considered in drier years. 2 Condition and age of Cow-cow condition is a key factor to joining success. <P> Latest estimates of average weaning age in the United States indicate that 70% of calves are weaned at 7 weeks of age or later. In addition, 25% of farms surveyed said they weaned calves at 9 weeks or later. <P> 1 In the eastern parts of the country calves born during spring can be weaned early in May at the age of about 7 to 8 months. 2 In the more western parts of the country calves can be weaned late in May or early June at the age of about 7 to 8 months as the breeding season tends to be later in these areas.

serum urea level normal range
|
<P> (1)Department of Medicine and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School. To estimate normal ranges of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr) levels in the aged, we measured BUN and Cr levels in 332 cases of apparent-healthy elderly subjects (male, 152; female, 180) aged 70 years or more. <P> In children, the normal range of creatinine is 0.2 to 1.0mg/dl but will increase with age as there is better and better physical constitute and muscle buildup. Two units are often used to measure creatinine level, this is, mg/dl and umol/l. 1 mg/dl equals to 88.4umol/l. <P> Normal range of serum creatinine level will differ with age, gender and physical constitute. In adult men, normal range of serum creatinine is 0.9-1.3mg/dl; while in adult women, normal range of creatinine is 0.6 to 1.1mg/dl. <P> Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures the amount of urea nitrogen in bloodstream. Urea is formed in liver as the end product of protein metabolism and digestion. Urea is transported to the kidneys for excretion. A normal range for blood urea nitrogen is generally 8 to 24 mg/dl for adult males and 6 to 21 mg/dl for females. Generally, a high blood urea nitrogen level means that the kidneys are not performing well, particularly if the result is above 50mg/dl. <P> Creatinine levels tend to be higher in men and people with large muscles. Measuring creatinine is only the first step to finding your level of kidney function. The normal serum creatinine range for men is 0.5-1.5 mg/dL. <P> Normal findings (in mg/dL) are 10 to 20 for adults, 5 to 18 for children and infants, 3 to 12 for newborns, and 21 to 40 for cord blood. In the elderly, the blood urea nitrogen may be slightly higher than the normal adult range. while a maximum limite of a normal range can reach 25 mg/100 ml. <P> [Normal ranges of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels in the community-dwelling elderly subjects aged 70 years or over--correlation between age and renal function].

<P> The law of reciprocal proportions (also called the law of equivalent proportions or law of permanent ratios) is one of the basic laws of stoichiometry. It relates the proportions in which elements combine across a number of different elements. It was first formulated by Jeremias Richter 1791. <P> (4) Law of equivalent proportion or law of reciprocal proportion: It was proposed by Ritcher. According to this law, The weights of the two or more elements which separately react with same weight of a third element are also the weights of these elements which react with each other or in simple multiple of them. <P> law of reciprocal proportions - (chemistry) law stating that the proportions in which two elements separately combine with a third element are also the proportions in which they combine together. law of equivalent proportions. <P> (iv) Law of reciprocal proportions: The ratio of the weights of two elements A and B which combine separately with a fixed weight of the third element C is either the same or some simple multiple of the ratio of the weights in which A and 8 combine directly with each other. <P> Of course the measurements must be taken at the same temperature and pressure. Law of Reciprocal Proportions: The ratio by mass, in which two elements combine with the fixed mass of a third element, is either the same or a simple multiple of the ratio in which they combine with each other. <P> The law of reciprocal proportions was proposed by Jeremias Ritcher in 1792. It states that, If two different elements combine separately with the same weight of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same or a simple multiple of the mass ratio in which they combine.. <P> Q14: State Law of reciprocal proportions.

Geese can usually sit on 7 to 10 eggs comfortably. When a goose is ready to sit, she will line her nest with down that she plucks from herself. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Duck eggs take 28-30 days to hatch, except for Muscovy eggs, which take 35 days. If you find a wild duck's nest on your property and don't see the mother on the eggs, don't necessarily worry. Ducks lay an egg every day or two until they have a full clutch (usually 8 to 15); only then will the mother start to sit on them. It takes the eggs 28 days to hatch from when she starts sitting all the time. When they hatch, she will soon lead them to a nearby body of water. <P> The Canada Goose begins to incubate her eggs after she finishes laying them all-sometimes up to 15 eggs, but more commonly 2-8. Once incubation begins, the eggs should hatch in about 25-28 days. The goslings hatch covered with down and with their eyes open. They leave the nest within 24 hours of hatching with the ability to swim and feed. Unlike songbirds, the parents do not feed their babies. The young geese will fledge (leave the care of their parents) in 6-7 weeks. Do not disturb the nest, because you could cause the mother to abandon her eggs. She views humans as predators.

<P> Share |. In a move to create 15,000 more blood donations a year, donors will now be able to continue donating after past the age of 70. The age limit for new donors will remain at 65, but existing donors who have given blood in the past two years can continue after their 70th birthday. <P> To ensure the safety of blood donation for both donors and recipients, all volunteer blood donors must be evaluated to determine their eligibility to give blood. The final determination will be made on the day of the donation at the blood drive or blood donation center. If you were deferred from donating in the past, you may be able to donate again. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) for more information. Important note to users. Blood Donors Must: 1 Be in good general health and feeling well 2 *. Be at least 17-years-old in most states, or 16-years-old with parental consent if allowed by state law – see more information for 16-year-old donors 3 ». Weigh at least 110 lbs. <P> BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The upper age limit for allogeneic blood donation varies among countries and blood operators. We assessed the impact of the removal of the upper age limit for donation in Canada from December 2004 to January 2006. <P> The age limit on blood donations was raised from 65 to 70 in 1998. An age limit was put in place as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the donor, but recent evidence from other blood services has shown no harm to donors over the age of 70. Loyal donors. The age limit which prevents regular blood donors from continuing to give blood beyond their 70th birthday has been scrapped. The NHS's Blood and Transplant authority said it was based on the fact that older donors were healthier and fitter than in the past <P> How much do you have to weigh to donate blood? The minimum weight for donating whole blood is 110 lbs. There is no maximum limit. If you are female and donating double red blood cells, you must be 5 5 tall and weigh 150 lbs. if you are a male and donating double red blood cells, you must be 5 1 tall and weigh 130 lbs. How often can I donate blood? Whole blood donors may give once every 56 days in order to allow plenty of time to replenish their red cells. Double red cell donors can give every 112 days, and platelets donors can give in 1 week. <P> Seventeen years old is the minimum blood donor age. (In some states, 16-year-olds may donate.) Some blood centers may have an upper age limit. Please call and check with your local blood center for more information.

However, there is no change in the rule for donors donating blood for the first time; the age limit for new donors still remains at 65. According to NHS Blood and Transplant, the extension of age limit for blood donations came about owing to better health and fitness levels of the older lot. <P> Share. New rules for blood donation permit old time blood donors to donate blood even after they touch 70 years of age. It is hoped that this extension of age limit for blood donations will result in additional 15000 donations each year. This means the donors who have donated blood in the past two years can continue to donate blood even after their 70 th birthday. However, there is no change in the rule for donors donating blood for the first time; the age limit for new donors still remains at 65. According to NHS Blood and Transplant, the extension of age limit for blood donations came about owing to better health and fitness levels of the older lot. <P> You must weigh at least 110 lbs to be eligible for blood donation for your own safety. Students who donate at high school drives and donors 18 years of age or younger must also meet additional height and weight requirements for whole blood donation (applies to girls shorter than 5'6 and boys shorter than 5').

explanation for theory of continental drift
|
<P> The theory of continental drift was not accepted for many years. One problem was that a plausible driving force was missing. A second problem was that Wegener's estimate of the velocity of continental motion, 250 cm/year, was implausibly high. Widespread distribution of Permo-Carboniferous glacial sediments in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Arabia, India, Antarctica and Australia was one of the major pieces of evidence for the theory of continental drift. <P> The reaction to Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Theory demonstrates that new ideas threaten the establishment, regardless of the century. Alfred Wegener was the scientist who proposed the Continental Drift Theory in the early twentieth century. Simply put, his hypothesis proposed that the continents had once been joined, and over time had drifted apart. Wegener and Continental Drift Theory. We are taught that modern scientists are driven only by reason and facts. It was only early scientists like Galileo who needed to fear the reaction to their radical views. Neither of these beliefs is true. <P> Alfred Wegener (1880 - 1930). Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. This slideshow explains Wegener's theory. Earth around 200 million years ago, at the time of Pangaea. Wegener’s evidence for continental drift was that: 1 the same types of fossilised animals and plants are found in South America and Africa. <P> Continental Drift. Continental Drift is the theory describing the movement of the continents that is result of plates in the Earth’s crust that move. The movement of these plates is known as plate tectonics. Tweet. About The Author Matt Slick is the President and Founder of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry <P> Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other, thus appearing to drift across the ocean bed. The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. Widespread distribution of Permo-Carboniferous glacial sediments in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Arabia, India, Antarctica and Australia was one of the major pieces of evidence for the theory of continental drift. <P> Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. <P> Evidence for continental drift. A map of the continents inspired Wegener's quest to explain Earth's geologic history. Trained as a meteorologist, he was intrigued by the interlocking fit of Africa's and South America's shorelines. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. <P> Although Wegener's continental drift theory was discarded, it did introduce the idea of moving continents to geoscience. And decades later, scientists would confirm some of Wegener's ideas, such as the past existence of a supercontinent joining all the world's landmasses as one. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. <P> The continental drift theory is the theory that once all the continents were joined in a super-continent, which scientists call Pangaea. Over a vast period of time, the continents drifted apart to their current locations. Alfred Wegener first supported continental drift. Wegener’s explanation of continental drift in 1912 was that drifting occurred because of the earth’s rotation. This explanation and his theory were not widely accepted. Prior to Wegener, however, many had noted that the shapes of the continents seem to fit together, suggesting some schism in the past.

The longest python on record was a reticulated python that reached a length of 10.1 meters. While it was common to find individuals with lengths up to 8 meters in the wild only a few decades ago, few wild creatures today exceed 5 to 6 meters. There are many big snakes in the world. There is no way to define what a giant snake is except that its bigger than most snakes. Most snakes are no larger than 1.25 meters.

At 7.67 meters (25 feet 2 inches) long, Medusa, a Reticulated Python owned by Full Moon Productions in Kansas City, Missouri, USA is the longest snake ever in captivity. <P> The most popular 'giant' snake is the Indian Python (Python molurus). The longest pet snake on record reached a length of 5.8 meters. A subspecies of this python is the Burmese Python. There are many big snakes in the world. There is no way to define what a giant snake is except that its bigger than most snakes. Most snakes are no larger than 1.25 meters. We quickly look at some of the record holders in various categories of snake 'gigantism'. <P> Medusa. Where. United States Kansas City. When. The longest snake-ever (captivity) is Medusa, a reticulated python (python reticulatus), and is owned by Full Moon Productions Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. When measured on 12 October 2011, she was found to be 7.67 m (25 ft 2 in) long. Medusa also holds the current 'Longest Snake-Living (captivity)' title <P> The other snake that competes with the anaconda is the Asiatic Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus). The python holds the world's record for length of a snake, with the longest ever measured at 33 feet. Even though the longest python is longer than the record-holding anaconda, the girth of the anaconda is far bigger. Anacondas in the jungles of South America can grow as big around as a grown man! <P> Local government official Rachmat said the reticulated python measured 48 feet 8 inches and weighed in at 983 pounds. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest ever captured snake to be 32 feet. The heaviest — a Burmese Python kept in Gurnee, Ill. — weighs 402 pounds, the book said on its Web site.

what is diversity audit
|
<P> A diversity audit should begin with ensuring that everyone – from upper management down – has a thorough understanding of laws governing diversity recruitment, including affirmative action planning and equal employment opportunity hiring. And it’s not uncommon for employers to factor diversity at work in both their hiring schematic as well as their overall organizational and inclusion programs. Conducting periodic diversity audits will ensure that each of these goals is met. <P> See the potential within Sample Diversity Audit You may wish to review certain aspects of your organisation to implement diversity, or you may find it helpful to use this Diversity Audit to give you a complete overview of the key areas you should take into consideration. <P> Diversity Audit. Today, as a result of external trends within the labour market as well as organisations realising the business case for valuing a diverse workforce, diversity has evolved, and indeed continues to do so. A diversity audit will involve meticulous analysis of policies and procedures, observations of behaviours, attitudes and management methods. Our consultants will conduct diagnostic interviews, and use procedures that encourage all employees to communicate their views and issues both openly and anonymously. <P> Diversity Audit. diversity Audit Question Number Four Take one good organization of your convenience and make diversity audit, develop a business case for diversity initiative. Diversity Audit. well as employees to conduct a diversity audit as well as determine a well suited diversity initiative. <P> In conducting a full diversity audit your organisation will see the following benefits: 1 Uncover sources of potential bias and ways in which the organisation’s culture can overtly and covertly discriminate against certain individuals. A diversity audit will involve meticulous analysis of policies and procedures, observations of behaviours, attitudes and management methods. Our consultants will conduct diagnostic interviews, and use procedures that encourage all employees to communicate their views and issues both openly and anonymously. <P> Hence in case of Diversity, such an audit is important to understand where the organization stands and the distance it needs to cover with respect to its goals in this area. If one is conducting a comparative survey, then this helps to assess one’s situation against the market practice. Planning and implementing a diversity audit is an essential process. Since it is in the nascent stages as yet in India, here are a few key pointers on what to bear in mind when conducting this. Hence, an audit or survey, is not only introspective but also a critical buy-in tool to have the top management aligned to the thought process. Diversity interventions and approaches will need the support of the leadership, which will typically come when they see the business connect. <P> A cultural audit is an examination of an organization’s cultural characteristics (its assumptions, norms, values and practices) to find out to what extent they hinder or support its mission. The focus of Stockton’s cultural audit will be diversity and inclusion. A cultural audit will enhance Stockton’s current culture. We intend to discover issues that inhibit inclusion and equity for all members, in order to engage diversity more effectively. This is also an opportunity to say who we are as a community, what we value, and whether we are living what we say. <P> A diversity audit is a thorough review of an organization's employment practices related to the makeup of its workers. Audits examine the workplace to ensure the organization is meeting legal requirements and fulfilling any mission that relates to diversity initiatives among its workers. Organizations either use an internal team or an external contractor to conduct the audit. Audits are conducted with different methods, utilizing tools such as surveys, data review, focus groups and individual interviews. An audit should reveal both the level of awareness of an organization's policies and how successfully they're being implemented, according to Global Excellence. <P> What is a diversity audit? A diversity audit is an examination of an organization’s diversity characteristics (its assumptions, norms, values, and practices) to find out to what extent they hinder or support the company’s mission. How is the diversity audit conducted?The key components of a diversity audit are focus groups, interviews, or survey. How is “diversity” being defined?In using the word “diversity”, we intend to respond to the concerns and desires of all constituents in the department.

<P> If your service connected disability rating is less than 100% and it prevents you from gainful employment you may be eligible for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) . TDIU or IU for short will pay a veteran at the 100% rate even through their rating or combined rating is less than 100%. There is no time limit for a veteran to file their disability compensation claim. If a veteran files within one year of their discharge and is granted service connection for a disability the effective date of claim for that disability will be the day after their discharge. <P> Individual Unemployability allows VA to pay certain Veterans at the 100% disability rate even though their service-connected disabilities are not rated as 100% disabling. Special Monthly Compensation VA will automatically award special monthly compensation if your disability qualifies. To apply for SMC if you are housebound or required the aid and attendance of someone to perform daily living functions complete VA Form 21-2680 and mail it to your nearest VA regional office. <P> The Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (S-DVI) program was established in 1951 to meet the insurance needs of certain veterans with service connected disabilities. S-DVI is available in a variety of permanent plans as well as term insurance. Policies are issued for a maximum face amount of $10,000. <P> Veteran Disability Compensation. If you are military veteran with a service-related disability you may qualify for over $3,300 in monthly benefits. These benefits are paid to veterans who have injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service. VA Disability Compensation Amounts: The amount of basic benefit paid ranges from $133 to over $3,300 per month, depending on your level of disability and number of dependents. Note: You may be paid additional amounts if: 1 you have very severe disabilities or loss of limb(s). <P> Veterans with a service-related disability may qualify for over $3,300 in monthly benefits. 1 The Veterans Pension Program. 2 Special Monthly Compensation. 3 State Veteran's Benefits.

A veteran with a 0% rating may have a service connected condition, but it doesn’t interfere with normal life functions. There is a full range between the two, with the majority of Vermont’s disabled veterans rated at 10%, 20%, or 30%. No for Non-Service Connected Pension. Pension is provided only to veterans who the VA determines to be 100% disabled. <P> Disability Compensation. Disability compensation is a monthly tax-free benefit paid to Veterans who are at least 10% disabled because of injuries or diseases that were incurred in or aggravated during active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training. <P> Compensation for a service-connected disability ranges from $123 to $2,673 per month for a single veteran with no dependents. SMC is also available to a veteran whose service-connected disability isn't on the specific SMC list but who's rated 100-percent disabled and who's housebound and in need of aid and attendance from a caretaker. <P> The amount of compensation a veteran receives for a service-connected disability depends on the seriousness of the disability. The V.A. does a medical and vocational (the ability to perform work) evaluation of a veteran who applies for compensation and then assigns the veteran a disability rating.

<P> Lentigo maligna (also known as Lentiginous melanoma on sun-damaged skin) is a melanoma in situ that consists of malignant cells but does not show invasive growth. Lentigo maligna is not the same as lentigo maligna melanoma, and should be discussed separately. <P> A solar lentigo is a benign, flat, light to darkish brown growth that may appear on the skin singly. Alternately some people have many of them and in the plural form, these are called lentigines. <P> Abnormalities of the genitalia occur most often in males with multiple lentigines syndrome. The most common abnormality in affected males is undescended testes (cryptorchidism). Other males may have a urethra that opens on the underside of the penis (hypospadias). <P> Lentigines (pleural of lentigo) are flat brown lesions which do not darken following sun exposure (thus differentiating them from ephelides or true freckles). One study of Caucasian women found that lentigines were signs of photo-damage whereas there was a genetic component in true freckles. 1 Lentigines profusa-in this condition, there are widespread lentigines over the arms, legs and genitalia. 2 There are no trigger factors or associated abnormalities (thus differentiating them from a number of lentigo-associated syndromes, see below). 3 The lesions can be 5 mm-2 cm in diameter. <P> Get the Latest health and medical information delivered direct to your inbox! Lentigo: A type of freckle that is a small tan, brown, or black spot which tends to be darker than the usual (ephelis-type) freckle and which do not fade in the winter. This kind of spot is referred to as lentigo simplex. Although lentigines may be part of a genetic disorder, for the most part they are just isolated and unimportant spots.

what is carpet beetle
|
<P> The varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci) is a 3 mm-long beetle belonging to the family Dermestidae. This beetle in larval form is common in houses where it usually does little or no noticeable harm, but it is a feared pest in natural history museums, where it can seriously damage biological specimens. <P> The varied carpet beetle is a common type of carpet beetles and is widely scattered in the United States. The adults of varied carpet beetles are much smaller and are round in shape compared to black carpet beetles. They have a pattern of white, yellow and brown scales on the upper side of their wings. <P> Carpet beetles are persistent pests that can cause severe damage to your carpets, clothing, and other fabrics. Getting rid of carpet beetles takes patience and persistence, but the job can usually be done without calling professional exterminators. Here's what you need to know about ridding your home of these pests. <P> Several species of Carpet Beetles may damage fabrics. Four species are most commonly encountered-the black carpet beetle, varied carpet beetle, common carpet beetle, and furniture carpet beetle. Together, this group is usually considered more economically important as fabric pests than the clothes moths. <P> Carpet Beetle Infestation. Carpet beetles feed on a wide range of animal-based items, including silk, leather, fur, wool and animal hair. As a result, carpet beetles may infest carpets, upholstered furniture, blankets, coats, comforters, wool, pillows and clothing. <P> The varied carpet beetle is the second most common type of carpet beetles that may severely damage households. The varied carpet beetle has a same life cycle like a butterfly, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Larvae and adult, both types of varied carpet beetle could cause damage to carpets and fabrics. <P> Carpet beetles are insect pests of the dermestid family. Adults feed mainly on pollen and nectar, but the larvae feed on the animal protein keratin found in wool, other animal hair and feathers, and may also feed on stored grain products. <P> Carpet beetles thrive in homes, museums, warehouses and other places where food exists. The young beetles look like tiny, hairy worms, and they like to feed in dark, undisturbed places like behind baseboards, under furniture, and in closets. They are often confused with other pests like bed bugs and fleas. <P> 1 Carpet beetles are drawn to fabric. 2 They can be found in the carpet, especially if that carpeting is in a closet or other dark location, but they are also drawn to clothing, upholstered furniture, and items made of fur or feathers.

cost to replace asphalt shingle roof
|
<P> 1 Having a roofing contractor remove (and dispose of) old roofing materials, then install asphalt shingles runs about $1-$4 a square foot, or a total of $1,700-$8,400 for a typical ranch-style home (1,700-2,100 square foot, gently sloping roof). 1 To install asphalt shingles, a base is laid down, then the shingles are nailed, tarred or locked into place in an overlapping fashion. 2 ThisOldHouse.com provides a how-to video for replacing an asphalt shingle roof. <P> Metal roofing is the most expensive and can cost up to $30,000-$40,000 for large roof replacements. The quality of the roofing material will also determine the cost of roof replacement. For example, asphalt shingles can cost anywhere from $50 for average quality to $150 or more for the highest quality (per square). Pitch is a measurement of how high the roof is versus its length. The following are figures for the average cost of roof replacement: 1 Asphalt: $700-$3,700. 2 Slate: $17,000-$84,000. 3 Wood shingles or shake: $7,000-$20,000. 4 Concrete tile: $8,000-$21,000. 5 Ceramic clay tile: $12 <P> Asphalt Shingle Roof Average Costs. The actual cost of an asphalt shingle roof may vary depending on the materials used, your location, the complexity of the installation (i.e. roof slope and home height), and other factors. 1 3-Tab asphalt shingles cost $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. 1 3-Tab asphalt shingles cost $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. 2 For an average-sized (1,500 square foot roof), the total cost might be $2,250 to $5,250. 3 Architectural asphalt roof shingles cost, on average, cost around 20 to 40 percent more than 3-Tab shingles, or $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot installed ($3,750 to $7,500) <P> Pricing Asphalt Shingles. The average cost to install an asphalt shingle roof is anywhere between $1,700 and $8,400 depending on the slope, pitch and size of your roof. The material cost factors into that price, and as such shingle prices vary depending on your location and the specific product. Durability. Depending on where you live, you can expect your asphalt shingle roof to last anywhere from 15 to 30 years. If you live somewhere with consistently spiking temperatures (think 50-degree nights and 100-degree days), you will lean closer to the 15-year end. <P> Removal. You'll pay more for a new asphalt shingle roof if you have to take off old roofing first. Most building codes and insurance policies won't allow more than one or two layers of shingle. It'll cost you from $110 to $250 a square to remove old shingles, depending on how many layers there are. If you have to repair or replace the wood decking and put down new roofing paper or waterproofing, add that many more dollars. <P> 1 Do-it-yourself materials run around $680-$3,700 for a typical one-story ranch-style home with a 1,700-2,100-square-foot, gently-sloping roof. 2 Standard gray asphalt shingles in a three-tab rectangle are the least expensive; expect to pay more for higher-end colors and styles. 1 To install asphalt shingles, a base is laid down, then the shingles are nailed, tarred or locked into place in an overlapping fashion. 2 ThisOldHouse.com provides a how-to video for replacing an asphalt shingle roof. <P> 1 Do-it-yourself materials to install an asphalt shingle roof on an average one-story ranch-style home (with a gently sloping roof of 1,700-2,100 square feet) can run $680-$3,700, depending on the quality of the materials. <P> Total Costs. Based on the prices listed above, a replacement roof with mid-grade materials can cost $10,000 and up. A 24 square roof with asphalt shingles and a single layer of tear-off can cost as little as $6,700, while the same roof with zinc or copper roofing can cost as much as $30,000. An example of a contractor’s roof estimate walk-through can be viewed here. 3 layers: $120 – $170 per 100 square feet. Asphalt shingles fall at the lower end of the spectrum because they cost less to remove than wood shakes or tile. Roofing companies charge higher rates for roofs with high pitches, steep slopes of 25% or more, than for those with low pitches. <P> 1 Architectural asphalt roof shingles cost, on average, cost around 20 to 40 percent more than 3-Tab shingles, or $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot installed ($3,750 to $7,500). 2 High end architectural shingles, however, could run as much as $6 to $8 per square foot installed ($9,000 to $12,000). 1 3-Tab asphalt shingles cost $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. 2 For an average-sized (1,500 square foot roof), the total cost might be $2,250 to $5,250. 3 Architectural asphalt roof shingles cost, on average, cost around 20 to 40 percent more than 3-Tab shingles, or $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot installed ($3,750 to $7,5

name the structure in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange with the blood?
|
<P> The respiratory system does this through ventilation, gas exchange between alveoli and capillaries, transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the cells; gas exchange between cells and capillaries and delivery of carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. The lower respiratory system conduct air to the air filled pockets (called alveoli) where gas exchange occurs between air and blood i.e. oxygen of the inhaled air from alveoli diffuses into the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries to the alveoli. <P> Gas Exchange Between Alveolar Spaces and Capillaries. The function of the respiratory system is to exchange two gases: oxygen and carbon dioxide. The exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled. Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and into the left side of the heart, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body (see Function of the Heart). <P> In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, and diaphragm. Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. In fish and many invertebrates, respiration takes place through the gills. The major function of the respiratory system is gas exchange between the external environment and an organism's circulatory system. In humans and other mammals, this exchange facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation. <P> Gas exchange. Within the alveoli [alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs, where gas is exchanged during breathing.] , an exchange of gases takes place between the gases inside the alveoli and the blood. Blood arriving in the alveoli has a higher carbon dioxide concentration which is produced during respiration [respiration: Chemical change that takes place inside living cells, which uses glucose and oxygen to produce the energy organisms need to live. <P> Oxygen-carbon dioxide-The process by which oxygen passes from the air in the LUNGS to the HEMOGLOBIN in the BLOOD, and carbon dioxide from the hemoglobin passes into the air in the lungs. Oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange is fundamental to life and is the primary function of the lungs. Oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange takes place between the alveoli, the tiny bubblelike sacs deep within the lungs, and the capillaries, the tiniest blood vessels of the cardiovascular system. Oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules (as well as the molecules of other gases such as nitrogen and highly toxic carbon monoxide) can easily pass through the walls of the alveoli and the capillaries, moving in the direction of least resistance. Oxygen molecules move from the alveoli into the capillaries with inhalation. <P> This is the blood that the heart pumps into the lungs. The carbon dioxide in the blood is exchanged for oxygen in the alveoli. These tiny air sacs in the lungs are only one cell thick and they are surrounded by capillaries that are also only one cell thick. <P> To support the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, about 5 to 8 liters (about 1.3 to 2.1 gallons) of air per minute are brought in and out of the lungs, and about three tenths of a liter of oxygen is transferred from the alveoli to the blood each minute, even when the person is at rest. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled. Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and into the left side of the heart, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body (see Function of the Heart). <P> The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. In air-breathing vertebrates like human beings, respiration takes place in the respiratory organs called lungs. The major function of the respiratory system is gas exchange between the external environment and an organism's circulatory system. In humans and other mammals, this exchange facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation.
