what genre is james taylor
|
<P> In 1977 Taylor signed with Columbia Records. Between March and April, he quickly recorded his first album for the label. JT, released that June, gave Taylor his best reviews since Sweet Baby James, earning a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year in 1978. In the fall of 2006, Taylor released a repackaged and slightly different version of his Hallmark Christmas album, now entitled James Taylor at Christmas, and distributed by Columbia/Sony. <P> Synopsis. James Taylor was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 12, 1948. He rose to fame in the 1970s, when he became known for writing and performing sensitive, affecting songs. Over the course of a long-running career, Taylor has won five Grammy Awards and seen many of his albums go platinum. Early Life. James Vernon Taylor was born on March 12, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts. At the age of 3, he moved with his family to North Carolina, where he lived for the rest of his childhood (though his well-off family usually spent summers on Martha's Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts). <P> James Taylor has received honorary doctorates of music from Williams College and the Berklee School of Music. Raised in North Carolina, he lives in western Massachusetts with his wife Caroline and their sons Henry and Rufus. James Taylor’s music embodies the art of songwriting in its most personal and universal forms. He is a master at describing specific, even autobiographical situations in a way that resonates with people everywhere. <P> A five-time Grammy Award winner, Taylor was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Taylor achieved his breakthrough in 1970 with the No. 3 single Fire and Rain and had his first No. 1 hit the following year with You've Got a Friend , a recording of Carole King 's classic song. His 1976 Greatest Hits album was certified Diamond and has sold 12 million US copies. In the fall of 2006, Taylor released a repackaged and slightly different version of his Hallmark Christmas album, now entitled James Taylor at Christmas, and distributed by Columbia/Sony. <P> Soundtrack | Actor | Music Department. James Taylor was born on March 12, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA as James Vernon Taylor. He has been married to Caroline Kim Smedvig since February 18, 2001. They have two children. He was previously married to Kathryn Walker and Carly Simon. See full bio ». <P> James Taylor is singer-songwriter James Taylor 's debut studio album. Released in 1968, it was the first recording by a non-British artist released by Apple Records, and would also be Taylor's only release on that label. The album was released under the title First Album on the South African market. <P> As a result, Taylor was signed to Apple and recorded his debut solo album, James Taylor, released in the U.K. in December 1968 and in the U.S. in February 1969. Initially, it received little attention. A more pressing concern, however, was that Taylor had not been able to kick heroin. A year later, The Best of James Taylor became the first compilation to cover material from his years with Apple, Warner Bros., and Columbia. In 2004, he appeared on the television show The West Wing, released Christmas Album, and sang the national anthem before game two of the World Series. <P> From 'Sweet Baby James' (1970). There's a reason this is Taylor's best-known song and the obvious track to check in at the top spot on our list of the Top 10 James Taylor Songs: After all these years and albums, it remains his very best. 'Something in the Way She Moves'. From 'James Taylor' (1968). Recorded for the Beatles ' boutique Apple label, this track -- given a suitably prosaic late-'60s intro -- would become a concert staple once it was stipped down to its essentials. <P> AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann. The heart of James Taylor 's appeal is that you can take him two ways. On the one hand, his music, including that warm voice, is soothing; its minor key melodies and restrained playing draw in the listener. On the other hand, his world view, especially on such songs as Fire and Rain, reflects the pessimism and desperation of the 1960s hangover that was the early '70s. That may not be intentional: Fire and Rain was about the suicide of a fellow inmate of Taylor 's at a mental institution, not the national malaise.

how long does it take to be a paramedic
|
<P> Coursework and training to become an EMT-basic or first responder can generally be completed in as little as three weeks on an accelerated basis. For part-time students, these programs may take around 8-11 weeks to complete. To become an EMT-intermediate 1985 or 1999, students generally must complete 30-350 hours of training. This training requirement varies according to the procedures the state allows these EMTs to perform. <P> How long does it take to be a paramedic depends on the area of study and the skill one chooses. Clinical instructions are in-hospital rotations where students get them familiar with the different trauma cases and treatment options. Some students preferentially choose part time paramedic classes. It means that instead of the regular classes in the week, they only take classes on the weekend. While it may sound more convenient for the student, it may be one of the reasons the course time may extend to two years or longer. <P> Paramedics have a rewarding, coveted job that has a 33% job growth rate predicted by 2020. However, to be a paramedic, you have to put in long hours during training, be quick on your feet, and help patients as quickly as possible while staying calm. Most community colleges offer EMT-Basic classes. They cost $500-$900 and last from 3 to 6 months, or a semester. In some communities, you may have to ride along as a third person for a few months before you will be put into a class. <P> You must complete at least the first level, EMT-Basic, and the EMT-Paramedic level to become a paramedic. With field training hours and a semester of courses, it can take you up to one year to complete an EMT-Basic program.

The Paramedic is 600 - 1200 hours in length depending on the state and averages about 6 - 9 months of training. <P> Becoming an emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic can take anywhere from one to three years, depending on a student’s choice of career and educational path. EMT training focuses on life support techniques in first-response situations, including CPR, tourniquet application, and treatment of wounds.

how long do you cook belly pork on the bbq
|
<P> If you place the meat directly over the coals, you will burn the meat. Depending on the size of your pork belly, cook at between 150 – 180 degrees c for 4-7 hours or until the internal temperature of the pork belly is 170 oC. <P> Once you have applied the rub, leave the pork belly skin side up, wrapped in a cling film or a plastig bag in the fridge. Take the meat out of the fridge 1 hour before you want to put on the BBQ. <P> Leave the pork to dry overnight in the fridge; do not cover as you want it to dry. Heat a barbecue or griddle and slice the pork into thin slices. Place the pork slices onto the hot griddle or barbeque and brush with the marinade. Cook each side for a few minutes, or until cooked through and the skin is crisp. <P> Firstly, lets start with the BBQ, we recommend a charcoal BBQ with a lid and a thermometer. I tried this on a gas BBQ and couldn’t get the heat I needed in the larva rock needed to fill the whole BBQ with the heat needed. And over 5-8 hours of cooking you use a lot of gas! So charcoal it is. <P> This belly pork takes no time to cook on the barbecue, but an overnight preparation gets you an aromatic marinated flavour and lots of perfect crackling. <P> Toss in the whole thyme leaves. Put the seasoned pork belly on top of the vegetables and then put into your very hot oven for 10-15 minutes or until the skin of the belly starts to bubble and is golden brown. Turn the oven temperature down to 170°C/325°F/gas 3 then roast for 1.5 hours. <P> Pork belly is cut from the side of the pig; it is the same cut used to make bacon. A full pork belly is about 7 pounds, though your butcher can provide you with smaller cuts. Many recipes for barbecued pork don't involve an outdoor grill. These recipes roast or braise the pork using a barbecue sauce for flavor. <P> Pork belly is ideal for roasting or slow cooking. Most people love a good hog roast and indirect cooking a pork belly joint or shoulder or pork on the BBQ is just as good. You can cook the pork as it is or to create a wonderful aroma from the BBQ and great flavour, create a rub for the pork. <P> Place the pan with the seasoned pork belly into the preheated oven and roast for 2.5-3 hours, depending on the thickness of your meat. Halfway through the process you may want to remove the pork belly and transfer it to a new pan, as the rendered fat will begin to smoke if gets too hot.

describe the elephants habitat

<P> Elephants are found in large numbers in Africa and South Asia. They inhabit the Savannahs of Africa and the dense rain forests of South Asia. Their natural habitat usually surrounds abundant water sources like lakes and rivers.

They inhabit India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh, and southern China. In the wild, Asian elephants may live up to about 60 years but most do not live that long. Asian elephants once ranged from Iraq east through Asia south of the Himalayas, into southern China and possibly south to Java. However, centuries of hunting and habitat destruction caused dramatic declines. <P> Elephant Habitat. 1 Elephants make home in a variety of habitats including tropical and subtropical zones. 2 Their habitat ranges from dry deciduous forests, savannas (such as mixed woodland and grassland mosaics), semi-deserts, and evergreen rainforests.

Most zoos offer them a generous amount of room to roam but it is nothing like what they would have in the wild. Still, they have plenty of water and food so they don’t need to travel for those reasons.

what is a parallel circuit used for
|
<P> That depends. For example, if the circuit is consisted of two resistors, 2 ohms each, the equivalent resistance (Req) of these two resistors in series is 4 ohms, and the Req o … f these two resistors in parallel is 1 ohm. If the same voltage is applied, say 4 V. power consumed in a resistance = V2/R. Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest o … f the bulbs will go out. <P> In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component. Consider a very simple circuit consisting of four light bulbs and one 6 V battery. Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component. A circuit composed solely of components connected in series is known as a series circuit; likewise, one connected completely in parallel is known as a parallel circuit. <P> power lines image by Edsweb from Fotolia.com. A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit which has two or more paths for an electrical charge to flow through. The parallel circuit is the standard electrical circuit found in most homes and devices. Because it provides more than one way for a current to flow through to a device, it creates a much more stable and efficient power system than would otherwise be possible. The uses of the parallel circuit are manifold. Parallel circuits are used inside many electrical devices and appliances. The main reason parallel circuitry is used in this context is to take advantage of more than one power source, like when more than one battery is being used in a portable device. <P> 1 A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. 2 Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. 3 The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. 4 You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: A Parallel circuit is one with several different paths for the electricity to travel. It's like a river that has been divided up into smaller streams, however, all the streams come back to the same point to form the river once again. The parallel circuit has very different characteristics than a series circuit. For one, the total resistance of a Parallel Circuit is NOT equal to the sum of the resistors (like in a series circuit). The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than any of the branch resistances. <P> A parallel circuit is used in a strand of Christmas lights so that if one bulb goes out, the rest don't. A parallel circuit is also used in circuit breakers of houses. A series circuit is used in a flashlight. Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest o … f the bulbs will go out. <P> The Parallel Circuit. A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along.

what is nitrite used for
|
<P> Sodium nitrite can be used as part of an intravenous mixture with sodium thiosulfate to treat cyanide poisoning. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medications needed in a basic health system. Boiling vegetables lowers nitrate but not nitrite. Fresh meat contains 0.4-0.5 mg/kg nitrite and 4–7 mg/kg of nitrate (10–30 mg/kg nitrate in cured meats). The presence of nitrite in animal tissue is a consequence of metabolism of nitric oxide, an important neurotransmitter. <P> A minor use in meat curing: Although nitrites are the nitrogen compound chiefly used in meat curing, nitrates are used in certain specialty curing processes where a long release of nitrite from parent nitrate stores is needed. Nitrites are produced by a number of species of nitrifying bacteria, and the nitrate compounds for gunpowder (see this topic for more) were historically produced, in the absence of mineral nitrate sources, by means of various fermentation processes using urine and dung. Nitrates are found in man-made fertilizers. <P> Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and its close relative sodium nitrite (NaNO2) are preservatives that you find in lots of processed meats. Stuff like salami, hot dogs, pepperoni, bologna, ham, bacon and SPAM all normally contain sodium nitrate as one of the ingredients. <P> Descriptions. Amyl nitrite is related to the nitrate medicines and is used by inhalation to relieve the pain of angina attacks. It works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. <P> Sodium nitrite is a salt and an anti-oxidant that is used to cure meats like ham, bacon and hot dogs. Sodium nitrite serves a vital public health function: it blocks the growth of botulism-causing bacteria and prevents spoilage. Sodium nitrite also gives cured meats their characteristic color and flavor. When the sodium nitrate in celery, or other sodium nitrate-containing vegetables, is exposed to certain types of bacteria in the product, the nitrate is converted to sodium nitrite, which results in product characteristics similar to traditionally cured meat products. <P> The nitrite ion, which has the chemical formula NO 2 − , is a symmetric anion with equal N–O bond lengths and an O–N–O bond angle of approximately 120°. Upon protonation, the unstable weak acid nitrous acid is produced. Nitrite is also important in biochemistry as a source of the potent vasodilator nitric oxide. In organic chemistry the NO 2 group is present in nitrous acid esters and nitro compounds. Nitrites are also used in the food production industry for curing meat. <P> Amyl nitrite is related to the nitrate medicines and is used by inhalation to relieve the pain of angina attacks. It works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. Amyl nitrite may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. This medicine comes in a glass capsule covered by a protective cloth. The cloth covering allows you to crush the glass capsule between your fingers without cutting yourself. <P> Sodium nitrite is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na NO2. It is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder that is very soluble in water and is hygroscopic. Boiling vegetables lowers nitrate but not nitrite. Fresh meat contains 0.4-0.5 mg/kg nitrite and 4–7 mg/kg of nitrate (10–30 mg/kg nitrate in cured meats). The presence of nitrite in animal tissue is a consequence of metabolism of nitric oxide, an important neurotransmitter. <P> Both Nitrates and nitrites are permitted to be used in curing meat and poultry with the exception of bacon, where Nitrate use is prohibited. Sodium nitrite is commonly used in the USA (Cure #1) and everywhere else in the world. 1 Temperature (with higher temperature more nitrite is released from Nitrate). 2 Amount of bacteria present in meat that is needed for Nitrate to produce nitrite and here we do not have any control. 3 The more bacteria present, the more nitrite released.

how old is the oldest known dinosaur quizlet
|
<P> More than 40 years later, however, a large gap in the human family tree has remained. Researchers have discovered numerous fossils from Lucy’s Australopithecus afarensis species—ape-like, bipedal human ancestors approximately 4 feet tall—that are 3 million years or older. <P> The cyanobacteria have an extensive fossil record. The oldest known fossils, in fact, are cyanobacteria from Archaean rocks of western Australia, dated 3.5 billion years old. This may be somewhat surprising, since the oldest rocks are only a little older: 3.8 billion years old! Cyanobacteria are among the easiest microfossils to recognize. <P> Cyanobacteria: Fossil Record. The cyanobacteria have an extensive fossil record. The oldest known fossils, in fact, are cyanobacteria from Archaean rocks of western Australia, dated 3.5 billion years old. This may be somewhat surprising, since the oldest rocks are only a little older: 3.8 billion years old! Cyanobacteria are among the easiest microfossils to recognize. <P> Just when you thought dinosaurs couldn't get any older, the oldest dinosaur has been found in Africa, a new study says. The fossils push back the dawn of the dinosaurs to around 240 million years ago—about 10 to 15 million years earlier than previously thought, scientists say. <P> According to a pair of newly published papers in the journal Science, paleoanthropologists working in Ethiopia have discovered a 2.8-million-year-old jawbone, making it the oldest fossil in the human ancestral line ever found by more than 400,000 years. <P> Scientists have found the oldest known rocks on Earth. They are 4.28 billion years old, making them 250 million years more ancient than any previously discovered rocks. Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a disk of gas and dust circling the sun. <P> Palaeontologists have found what is likely to be the oldest known dinosaur, filling in a yawning evolutionary gap. A study in Biology Letters describes Nyasasaurus parringtoni, a new species from 10-15 million years before the previous earliest dinosaur specimens.

How much money do millennials have
|
<P> Indeed, half of the 6,865 millennials in the 2012 FINRA survey worry that they have too much debt. “This is something that’s on their minds and pervades their generation,” Mottola says. [See: How to Talk to Millennials About Money.]. A significant number of millennials – 30 percent – say they have a quarter or less of their investments in stocks or mutual funds. Pat Pearsall-Ramey, a financial planning manager at Ernst & Young, says millennials are simply too inexperienced to know what to do with their money. <P> Morgan calculated desirable savings rates for millennials at different points on the income scale, and found that if median income millennials put away between 4 and 9 percent of their pretax income every year, they should be able to have just as much retirement income as working income. More affluent millennials should be saving between 9 and 14 percent of their pretax income, Morgan found, and high net worth millennials would need to save 14 to 18 percent of their pretax income in order to have income equal to 85 percent of their working income in retirement. (Tweet This). <P> In contrast, workers between the ages of 35 and 44 have a positive savings rate of about 3%. Millennials are struggling in spite of an improving job market, with an unemployment rate that dipped to 5.8% in October as the U.S. economy added 214,000 jobs. Millennials had a negative savings rate from 2004 to 2009, bottoming out in 2007 with a deficit of about 15%, according to Moody's. They recovered in 2009 and managed to stay above water until 2012, when they slipped back into the red. <P> Millennials are much more likely to spend money on things they can share with friends, whether it's a nice dinner out, a weekend road trip or a one-of-a-kind experience, says my colleague, Christian Ruzich, millennial consumer expert and vice president of consulting at the Futures Company. <P> While just 20% of 26- to 34-year-olds say they regularly get financial help from family, compared with 52% of 18- to 25-year-olds, 69% of 26- to 34-year-olds say they have a lot of friends who are getting financial help from their parents. The data also show Millennials are much more focused on short-term goals. The USA TODAY/ Bank of America Better Money Habits poll of Millennials included 1,001 interviews of millennials between the ages of 18 and 34, between Oct. 9-20, 2014. <P> Things were a lot worse just a few years ago. Millennials had a negative savings rate from 2004 to 2009, bottoming out in 2007 with a deficit of about 15%, according to Moody's. They recovered in 2009 and managed to stay above water until 2012, when they slipped back into the red. <P> We're seeing that directly come from savings.. While 69% of Millennials have savings accounts, most have less than $5,000, and 41% are stressed about putting enough money away, the survey shows. Older Millennials (ages 26-34) are much more worried about saving than those 18-25, who are more worried about their career paths. The USA TODAY/ Bank of America Better Money Habits poll of Millennials included 1,001 interviews of millennials between the ages of 18 and 34, between Oct. 9-20, 2014. <P> Nearly half (47 percent) of respondents reported having student loan debt. Although it’s a bright spot that the percentage of millennials with student loans isn’t higher, among those who do, the burden is growing: The average student loan debt of our respondents was $36,584, up $663 from $35,921. Among employed respondents: 1 75 percent of 20-somethings earned less than $50,000. 2 13 percent of 20-somethings earned more than $75,000, an 8 percent increase over 2014. 3 36 percent of 20-somethings earned between $25,000 and $50,000, up 6 percent from 2014. <P> Cash-strapped millennials are slipping into the red. People younger than 35 are not saving money, according to a study by Moody's Analytics. In fact, their savings rate has dipped to negative 2%, meaning that they're spending more than they have. Millennials had a negative savings rate from 2004 to 2009, bottoming out in 2007 with a deficit of about 15%, according to Moody's. They recovered in 2009 and managed to stay above water until 2012, when they slipped back <P> Although student loan debt continues to grow, millennials are reducing debt in other areas. In 2015, 31 percent of respondents reported having credit card debt, down from 38 percent in 2014. The average credit card debt fell to $3,718 from $3,993 a year ago. Among employed respondents: 1 75 percent of 20-somethings earned less than $50,000. 2 13 percent of 20-somethings earned more than $75,000, an 8 percent increase over 2014. 3 36 percent of 20-somethings earned between $25,000 and $50,000, up 6 percent from 2014.

how to calculate protein needs for underweight people
|
<P> Protein needs for women increase during pregnancy and lactation. The Institute of Medicine recommends pregnant and nursing women consume at least 1.1 gram of protein per kilogram, or about 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. Pre-pregnancy weight is used to calculate protein needs for pregnant women. RDAs for infants, children and teens are calculated using 0.85 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, or about 0.39 to 0.68 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day, depending on the child’s age. <P> The easiest way to calculate your servings is to measure out your meals. You should weigh meat or measure out foods like beans and legumes with measuring cups. 1 Weigh meat in ounces, and multiply by the amount of protein in each ounce. 2 For instance, 3 ounces of meat has 21 grams of protein because each ounce has 7 grams. The answer is how much protein you need in grams. 1 For a sedentary to moderate lifestyle, multiply by 0.4. 2 For an active lifestyle, multiply by 0.4 to 0.6. 3 For an athlete who's building muscle or for a young athlete, you need 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound. <P> Eat meat. Meat is one of the best sources of protein, as it is a complete protein, meaning it offers all the amino acids your body needs from one source. One ounce of meat has 7 grams of protein. 1 It's best to pick lean cuts of meat, such as chicken or fish, as too much fat in your diet is unhealthy. The answer is how much protein you need in grams. 1 For a sedentary to moderate lifestyle, multiply by 0.4. 2 For an active lifestyle, multiply by 0.4 to 0.6. 3 For an athlete who's building muscle or for a young athlete, you need 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound. <P> This free bodybuilding macronutrient calculator will show you exactly how many daily calories you require along with the exact grams of protein, carbs and fats you should consume to meet your individual muscle building or fat burning needs. <P> 1 So if you weigh 140 pounds, you need 56 grams of protein a day. 2 For an active lifestyle, multiply by 0.4 to 0.6. 3 So if you weigh 140 pounds, you need 56 grams to 84 grams of protein a day. 4 For an athlete who's building muscle or for a young athlete, you need 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound. The answer is how much protein you need in grams. 1 For a sedentary to moderate lifestyle, multiply by 0.4. 2 For an active lifestyle, multiply by 0.4 to 0.6. 3 For an athlete who's building muscle or for a young athlete, you need 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound. <P> Using a tool to calculate your body mass index (BMI) can help determine if you’re underweight. Your family doctor can also help determine if you’re underweight based on your height, weight, what you eat and your activity level. <P> Or perhaps your friends or parents have mentioned it. You can check by using our healthy weight calculator. If you're underweight, your GP, practice nurse or school health visitor can give you help and advice. There could be an underlying medical cause that needs to be checked out. Or perhaps you haven't been eating a healthy, balanced diet. What to do if you're underweight. If you're underweight, aim to gradually gain pounds until you get to a weight that's healthy for your height and age. But it's important that you gain weight the right way. <P> 1 Body Fat Calculator. 2 Though not as accurate as using calibers, this is a quick and easy estimate of your percent body fat. 3 Nutritional Calculator. 4 This calculator will determine your calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrate needs in relationship to weight loss, maintenance or weight gain. 1 Nutritional Calculator. 2 This calculator will determine your calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrate needs in relationship to weight loss, maintenance or weight gain. 3 Food Planning Calculator. 4 This calculator was developed to use food groups to meet your nutritional needs.

<P> Dark meat (legs & thighs) has far more moisture than white meat (wings & breasts) so you will have to cook it about 3-4 minutes longer than white meat. Since temper-ature pla … ys a role, I can't give an exact answer on how long-but at 400' it would take about 13 min for white meat and about 16 min for dark meat. A rule of thumb for cooking chicken thighs on top of the stove is 18 mins. Many recipes for fried chicken, which call for chicken to be cooked on top of the stove use the 18-2 … 0 min. <P> Directions. In a bowl, toss chicken thighs with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day). Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast chicken, skin side down, in an oiled roasting pan, 20 to 25 minutes; flip and roast 10 more minutes. <P> Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the heated olive oil. Cook for three minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and cook on the other side for three minutes. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces skin-side down into the dutch oven. Cook them for three to minutes, then turn them over using a pair of tongs and cook on the other side for three minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. <P> I usually cook bonless chicken breasts in a pre-heated oven @ 350 for 30-35mins 350 for 1 hour is comon temperature. or 375 for 45 minutes. 45 mins to an hour for bo … ne-in chicken (thighs,legs,breast) at 350 degrees ..either way,pierce it with a fork,if the juice comes out clear and NOT pink, it is cooked. A rule of thumb for cooking chicken thighs on top of the stove is 18 mins. Many recipes for fried chicken, which call for chicken to be cooked on top of the stove use the 18-2 … 0 min. <P> Just lay the chicken inside. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F. Boneless, skinless thighs cook quickly. Check after 20 minutes, and if they are not quite up to temperature, put back in the oven and continue cooking and checking the temperature in 5-minute increments. <P> Very generally, you would let them cook for 45 minutes to an hour at 350 degrees F. When checking chicken for doneness, insert a knife or fork in the thickest portion of the meat. If it is done, the juices will run out clear, if not, the juices will have a pinkish tinge and you should let them cook a little longer. A rule of thumb for cooking chicken thighs on top of the stove is 18 mins. Many recipes for fried chicken, which call for chicken to be cooked on top of the stove use the 18-2 … 0 min. <P> 1 Arrange chicken thighs/leg quarters skin side up in a shallow baking dish. 2 Sprinkle with garlic powder. 3 Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce on each piece. 4 Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, until the skin is crisp and brown and the meat is ready to fall off the bones. Directions. 1 Arrange chicken thighs/leg quarters skin side up in a shallow baking dish. 2 Sprinkle with garlic powder. 3 Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce on each piece. 4 Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, until the skin is crisp and brown and the meat is ready to fall off the bones. <P> Method 4 of 4: Frying. 1. Season and marinate the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and allow it to sit in the buttermilk for at least 2 hours. 1 The salt and pepper should be to taste, but if you aren't sure how much to use, start with 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.625 ml) black pepper. Season the thighs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired and evenly brush or drizzle the oil over the chicken. 1 Use approximately 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.625 ml) black pepper if you do not have an established preference. <P> Baking the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. You can bake the chicken legs in a 375°F. oven, if desired. Increase the baking time to 45 to 50 minutes. Tip: An accurate way to check chicken doneness is to insert an instant-read thermometer into the thigh, avoiding the bone. It should read 180°F when the chicken is done.

what is centipede grass
|
<P> Centipede Grass is a low, medium textured, slow growing, but aggressive grass that can produce a dense, attractive, weed-free turf. <P> Centipede grass can be an excellent choice of grass type for homeowners in the warmer Southern regions, requiring low maintenance and providing a turf with minimum disease and pest problems to worry about. In fact, Centipede grass really is one of the best low maintenance lawns. Centipede Grass can be established with Sprigs, Sod or Seed, producing a lush dense sod with a light green color which often has a noticeable yellow tinge to it. <P> Centipede Grass. (Eremochloa Buese). Büse Centipede grass is a, low medium, textured slow, growing but aggressive grass that can produce a, dense, attractive-weed free. Turf it is more shade tolerant than bermudagrass but less shade tolerant Than. St augustine and. zoysiagrass <P> Mow to remove only one third of the grass blade. Mow centipede, bermuda, and zoysia to 1 to 2 inches when the grass gets 1.5 to 3 inches tall. Mow St. Augustine to 3 inches when the grass gets 4.5 inches tall. Most grasses need to be mowed every 7 to 10 days when actively growing. Smaller clippings break down quickly and do not cause thatch buildup. <P> Plant no less than one-fourth (1/4) pound per 1,000 square. One pound of seed covers 2,000 to 4,000 square feet and often produces a good lawn in two to three months of summer growth-We recommend planting 1/2 lb. per 1000 sq. feet for best results. Centipede is slow to establish / patience is required.

thyroid test levels normal range
|
<P> Speaking roughly, normal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are in the range of 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. However, each laboratory and test manufacturer identifies its own normal TSH range. This is based on the test, the equipment being used, and the patients being tested. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists has proposed a range of 0.3 to 3.0 for normal TSH levels. <P> Results. A thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test is used to check for thyroid gland problems. The normal values listed here-called a reference range-are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. <P> Normal values range from 0.4 - 4.0 milli-international units per liter (mIU/L). Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results. <P> I hadn’t known that, while they are “normal lab values” for blood tests, there are also “FUNCTIONAL” or “OPTIMAL” values which actually tell you far more about your thyroid. My TSH, T3, T4 and other basic thyroid levels have ALWAYS been in the “normal” range. <P> The range for normal values is 100 to 200 nanograms per deciliter, according to Medline Plus. Greater-than-normal values may be due to hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer or high levels of a protein that carries T3 in the blood. Lower-than-normal values may indicate hypothyroidism, starvation or a long illness.

<P> 702-414-1000. The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a luxury hotel and casino resort situated between Harrah's and The Palazzo on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, NV, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel. The hotel tower contains 40 stories and rises 475 feet. It is connected by the free Mandalay Bay Tram to its sister properties, Excalibur and Luxor.. Unique features of the Mandalay Bay hotel: Shark Reef, 11-acre tropical beach, House of Blues, 4-story tall wine rack with 10,000 wine bottles at Aureole Bar. <P> The distance from Mandalay Bay to Venetian is 2.04 miles (3.28 kilometers) in straight line. Walking at a normal rate of 3 miles per hour in a straight line, it would take 41 minutes between Mandalay Bay and Venetian. Driving or taking a bus or cab to Venetian might be a better use of your limited time in Las Vegas, unless you have certain things you want to see or do along the way. <P> Mandalay Bay has 3,309 hotel rooms, 24 elevators and a casino of 135,000 square feet (12,500 m 2). Adjacent to the hotel are the 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m 2) Mandalay Bay Convention Center and the 12,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center. The Mandalay Bay Tram connects the resort to its sister properties, Excalibur and Luxor, all three of which were constructed by Circus Circus Enterprises before its sale to MGM. <P> The distance from Venetian to Mandalay Bay is 2.04 miles (3.28 kilometers) in straight line.

Unique features of the Mandalay Bay hotel: Shark Reef, 11-acre tropical beach, House of Blues, 4-story tall wine rack with 10,000 wine bottles at Aureole Bar. <P> I've stayed at all three and for your moneys worth, The Venetian is the best bet. Mandalay Bay is the FARTHEST end of the strip (south strip). It's extremely inconvenient to get around to other (worthwhile) properties from there. The Venetian has the LARGEST standard rooms by far at 650 square feet for a King bed room, and 720 square feet for a Queen beds room and generally rates do not get as expensive as Bellagio even though the rooms are MUCH nicer at The Venetian. <P> Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is a 43-story luxury hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. The Mandalay Bay Tram connects the resort to its sister properties, Excalibur and Luxor, all three of which were constructed by Circus Circus Enterprises before its sale to MGM. <P> I would say that Wynn, Bellagio and Venetian are all very similar in that they all have everything you would expect from a 5 Star hotel. Mandalay Bay, while still a beautiful place is probably a notch down from the other 3 when it comes to a pure service stand point. If you really want pampering, Wynn would be the best choice with MB last. Venetian has the biggest rooms with a large seating area with Bellagio having the smallest standard room of the bunch. If you want a fun pool with the most gawking opportunities, Mandalay Bay wins hands down. <P> Wynn and Venetian are really at one end of the strip and Mandalay Bay is at the other end with the Bellagio right in the middle. What a pleasant choice you have to make ... Can't go wrong with any of them. If you really want pampering, Wynn would be the best choice with MB last. Venetian has the biggest rooms with a large seating area with Bellagio having the smallest standard room of the bunch. If you want a fun pool with the most gawking opportunities, Mandalay Bay wins hands down.

what is dmt used for in the brain
|
<P> DMT can be found in many species of plants. Genera such as acacia, anadenanthera, mimosa, piptadenia, and virola are some examples. DMT is also produced in the human pineal gland, a small reddish-gray gland (about the size of a pea) near the center of the brain. One of the functions of the pineal gland is the production of melatonin. The pineal gland and melatonin help regulate sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythms) <P> DESCRIPTION. DMT is a powerful, visual psychedelic which produces short-acting effects when smoked. It is used orally in combination with an MAOI, as in ayahuasca brews. It is naturally produced in the human body and by many plants. <P> Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family. DMT is found in many plants along with the human body. DMT is created in the body during normal metabolism by the enzyme tryptamine-N-methyltransferase and the neurotransmitter serotonin. DMT can be ingested, injected, and inhaled. Dr. Strassman discovered that DMT is released by the pineal gland while a person is approaching death. Thus explaining the imagery reported by survivors of near death experiences (NDE phenomenon). DMT is also released during the 49th day of fetus development. Dr. Strassman attributes this to the beginning of the soul. <P> N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT or N,N-DMT) is a psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family. It is a structural analog of serotonin and melatonin and a functional analog of other psychedelic tryptamines such as 4-AcO-DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, 5-HO-DMT, psilocybin (4-PO-DMT), and psilocin (4-HO-DMT). DMT can produce powerful psychedelic experiences including intense visuals, euphoria and hallucinations. DMT is generally not active orally unless it is combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA), for example, harmaline. <P> How DMT Works. Dimethyltryptamine, aka DMT, is a naturally occurring substance which is structurally analogous to serotonin. It's made by your pineal gland, it pumped out while you sleep, and is the active component in ayahuasca. <P> These 10 animal facts will amaze you. Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a powerful psychedelic drug, and a type of tryptamine alkaloid. It is a naturally occurring substance, found in various plants and animals, and in small quantities in the human brain, where its function is unknown. <P> Posted by: Abhishek. DMT, short for Dimethyltryptamine, is a compound secreted by the pineal gland of the human brain. The structure of DMT resembles that of neurotransmitters themselves, thereby allowing to break the brain-blood barrier and act as a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Fact 2: The pineal gland's protection DMT is secreted by the pineal gland. This gland saw no constructive use to the body's functioning, according to medical science. But, quite ironic is the fact that the pineal gland is one of the most protected areas in the human brain. Why is it so? <P> Illustrations by the author. N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is an illegal, psychedelic tryptamine compound found in the human body and at least ~60 species of plants worldwide. <P> Dimethyltryptamine, better known as DMT, is an illegal psychedelic drug you’ve probably never heard of that is produced by your own body. DMT is created by mixing an enzyme with an amino acid, the latter of which is found in many forms of organic life. But despite DMT being naturally produced in the body, it is classified as a schedule 1 drug, which by law makes it the equivalent of magic mushrooms, peyote cactus, and opiates, like heroin. There is still so much that is unknown about Dimethyltryptamine-the drug produced in our brain that the mind is yet to understand.

viral vs bacterial pink eye
|
<P> Bacterial conjunctivitis is a common type of pink eye, caused by bacteria that infect the eye through various sources of contamination. The bacteria can be spread through contact with an infected individual, exposure to contaminated surfaces or through other means such as sinus or ear infections. Viral conjunctivitis also can accompany common viral upper respiratory infections such as measles, the flu or the common cold. Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. Typically the infection starts in one eye and quickly spreads to the other eye. <P> Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). Conjunctivitis can affect one or both eyes and is the most likely diagnosis in someone with eye redness and discharge (fluid coming from the eye). The affected eye is often stuck shut in the morning. Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are highly contagious, and are transmitted through contact with the discharge. <P> Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis and bacterial conjunctivitis may affect one or both eyes. Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. Bacterial conjunctivitis often produces a thicker, yellow-green discharge. Both types can be associated with colds or symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a sore throat. Both viral and bacterial types are very contagious. They are spread through direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of someone who's infected. Adults and children alike can develop both of these types of pink eye. Bacterial conjunctivitis is more common in children than it is in adults. <P> Conjunctivitis may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It can also occur due to an allergic reaction to irritants in the air like pollen and smoke, chlorine in swimming pools, and ingredients in cosmetics or other products that come in contact with the eyes. <P> The most common types of bacteria that cause bacterial conjunctivitis include Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial conjunctivitis usually produces a thick eye discharge or pus and can affect one or both eyes. Viral conjunctivitis also can accompany common viral upper respiratory infections such as measles, the flu or the common cold. Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. Typically the infection starts in one eye and quickly spreads to the other eye. <P> (May 2012). Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). It is commonly due to an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial or parasitic), or an allergic reaction. Conjunctivitis can affect one or both eyes and is the most likely diagnosis in someone with eye redness and discharge (fluid coming from the eye). The affected eye is often stuck shut in the morning. Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are highly contagious, and are transmitted through contact with the discharge. <P> Conjunctivitis when caused by an infection is most commonly caused by a viral infection. Bacterial infections, allergies, other irritants and dryness are also common causes. Both bacterial and viral infections are contagious and passed from person to person, but can also spread through contaminated objects or water. Conjunctivitis can affect one or both eyes and is the most likely diagnosis in someone with eye redness and discharge (fluid coming from the eye). The affected eye is often stuck shut in the morning. Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are highly contagious, and are transmitted through contact with the discharge. <P> Causes and Types of Eye Infections. Examples of viral, fungal and bacterial eye infections include: 1 Pink eye, or conjunctivitis. 2 Conjunctivitis, also called pink eye, is a common, highly contagious eye infection that often is spread among children in day care centers, classrooms and similar environments. <P> Viral vs Bacterial Pink Eye. Both viruses and bacteria can cause pink eye. Conjunctivitis, uveitis, irits, elevated pressure in the eye, as well as sinusitis, can also cause pink eye. The commonest cause of pink eye is conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis can be due to viruses, bacteria, allergies, or chemicals. Viral Pink Eye. Viral conjunctivitis is caused by viruses that cause upper respiratory tract infections. Therefore, it accompanies common cold, sinusitis, and throat inflammation. It features excessive production of tears, itching, pain and blurred vision sometimes.

When urine is positive for leukocytes, there are leukocytes in the urine. White blood cells in urine are typically a sign of infection. Purpose. Leukocytes are white blood cells, the body's defense mechanism against invaders such as infection and disease. When foreign materials enter the body, white blood cells attack it by destroying infectious agents or producing antibodies. <P> Leukocytes in urine are not a dangerous condition, but they are a sign that you are suffering from an infection or damage. Leukocytes are white blood cells (WBC) that work with the immune system to defend against infectious disease. Damage to the kidneys, ureters, urethra or bladder can cause leukocytes to appear. Bladder infections or inflammation of the urinary tract and ureters can also cause leukocytes to appear in the urine. Sexual intercourse can cause the transfer of bacteria that can cause an infection to form in the urinary tract. <P> Sponsored link. The presence of leukocytes in urine is generally indicative of a urinary tract infection. When a urinalysis is ordered, it may be ordered as part of a panel of multiple constitutes monitoring for abnormal levels; or as a single test called leukocyte esterase. <P> A positive finding of the enzyme leukocyte esterase in urinalysis indicates the presence of white blood cells in the urine. This normally suggests inflammation of some sort, often from a urinary tract infection. Causes of Positive Results. Although a urinary tract infection is the most common cause of leukocyte esterase in urinalysis some other and rarer causes for the positive result with a negative microorganism culture do exist. <P> Shares & Saves.

what does the pituitary gland do
|
<P> In vertebrate anatomy, the pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5 grams (0.018 oz) in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. <P> The pituitary gland secretes and stores hormones, which it uses to stimulate your other glands. Your hormones regulate a variety of body functions, such as temperature, urine production, thyroid activity, growth in children, and the production of sex hormones (testosterone in men and estrogen in women). The hormones from your pituitary gland then stimulate new hormone production out of the misbehaving gland. If a gland is overproducing hormones, then your pituitary gland will send the message to lower hormone production. <P> Answer by kph0329 (637). The pituitary gland produces growth hormone. It is referred to as the master gland, because it controls the function of the endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands, telling them to produce hormones needed for normal bodily function. add a comment. The pituitary gland lies at the base of the brain and controls the growth hormone. This tiny gland is responsible for normal development, including puberty. If the gland becomes defective, diseased or imbalanced, serious consequences can occur. <P> Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control: growth, blood pressure, certain functions of the sex organs, thyroid glands and metabolism as well as some aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, water/salt concentration and the kidneys, temperature regulation and pain relief. The anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) is a lobe of the gland that regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation). The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. <P> The pituitary gland is called the ‘master gland’ as the hormones it produces control so many different processes in the body. It senses the body’s needs and sends signals to different organs and glands throughout the body to regulate their function and maintain an appropriate environment. Prolactin, which stimulates milk production Thyroid stimulating hormone, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones. There are also some hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus and then stored in the posterior pituitary gland prior to being released into the bloodstream. <P> Your pituitary gland receives messages from another part of your brain (the hypothalamus), which has itself received messages from the environment or other areas of your body. For example, if one of your hormone levels gets too low, your hypothalamus will send a message via hormones to your pituitary gland. The hormones from your pituitary gland then stimulate new hormone production out of the misbehaving gland. If a gland is overproducing hormones, then your pituitary gland will send the message to lower hormone production. <P> The pituitary is an important gland in the body and it is often referred to as the 'master gland', because it controls several of the other hormone glands (e.g. adrenals, thyroid). The anterior pituitary makes several important hormones-growth hormone, puberty hormones (or gonadotrophins), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to make Thyroxine), prolactin and Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal stress hormone, cortisol). <P> The pituitary gland is a gland in the brain which produces chemicals called hormones (an endocrine gland). Hormones are chemical messengers which help different organs in the body communicate with each other. The pituitary gland is one part of a messenger system. The pituitary gland is sometimes called the master gland because it controls several other hormone-releasing glands. Some of the glands the pituitary gland controls are the thyroid gland, the ovaries, the testicles (testes) and the adrenal glands. <P> The pituitary glands are made of the anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces and releases hormones. The posterior lobe does not produce hormones per se—this is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamus—but it does release them into the circulation. Hormones of the Pituitary Gland. 1 The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands. 2 The pituitary gland has two parts—the anterior lobe and posterior lobe—that have two very separate functions. 3 The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production

why do muslims refer to the quran
|
<P> There is only One God. Insisting on the use of the word Allah which is the Arabic word for God immediately creates the illusion that Allah is a totally different God than God of the whole world. It creates a god that belongs only to the Muslims, and this would tarnish the universality of Islam. <P> Answering-Islam is a Christian Web site that compares the god of Islam with the God of the Bible. It provides in-depth perspectives on the controversy of whether or not it is appropriate to refer to God as Allah. See Answering-Islam.org. Compiled and provided by Films for Christ. Allah is the primary Arabic word for God. It means ‘The God.’ There are some minor exceptions. For example, the Bible in some Muslim lands uses a word for God other than Allah (Farsi and Urdu are examples). <P> Those who still insist that it is blasphemy to refer to God as Allah should also consider that Muhammad’s father was named Abd Allah, ‘God’s servant,’ many years before his son was born or Islam was founded!” —excerpted from Building Bridges by Fouad Accad (Colorado Springs, CO: Navpress), p. 22. Allah is the primary Arabic word for God. It means ‘The God.’ There are some minor exceptions. For example, the Bible in some Muslim lands uses a word for God other than Allah (Farsi and Urdu are examples). <P> Quran is very significant to Muslims, the followers of Islam religion, as this holy book represents the true words of Allah (the God) per God revelation to prophet Muhammad (P … BUH) through angel Gabrial (Jibril) that started in year 610 AD through year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad death). Updated Answer Muslims believe that Quran is God revelation to Prophet Mohamed through Angel Gabriel (Jibril). The revelation of the first verse of Quran was in year 610 AD … and the Quran revelations continued until Prophet Mohamed death in year 632 AD. -ELO- Answer We believe it is Allah's (God's) words. <P> The translation of the word kafir as infidel is a grave error. The word infidel means someone who does not believe in God. The Qur’an does not allege that Jews and Christians do not believe in God. On the contrary the Qur’an refers to Jews and Christians respectfully as “People of the Book” and says: The term kafir, referring to a type of person, or kufr, referring to an act, is used in the Quran in a variety of ways: 1 Anyone who believes in one thing is a kafir of its opposite. <P> Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim (Arabic: محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب ) (c. 570 – 632), in short form Muhammad and sometimes Mohammed, is considered in Islam to be the messenger (Quran 48:29) and prophet sent by God to guide humanity to the right way (Quran 7:157). Muhammad is held in high veneration by the Muslims, and is considered by them as the greatest of all the prophets. But Muslims do not worship Muhammad as worship in Islam is only for God. <P> [Al-Qur’an 29:46]. The term kafir, referring to a type of person, or kufr, referring to an act, is used in the Quran in a variety of ways: 1 Anyone who believes in one thing is a kafir of its opposite. 2 Here kafir means one who rejects and can even be used in a positive sense <P> Among former Muslims, many converts to Christianity commonly refer to God as “Allah.” (This is despite the fact that they recognize clear differences in the character of God as described by the Bible compared to Islamic writings. Allah is the primary Arabic word for God. It means ‘The God.’ There are some minor exceptions. For example, the Bible in some Muslim lands uses a word for God other than Allah (Farsi and Urdu are examples). <P> * Muslims refer to Christians and Jews as the people of the book (talking about the Bible and Torah) * Muslims believe in the bible and Torah but know that The Quran was the final word of god and the complete book.

When using blockboard for doors or tables, it is important to ensure that the core runs lengthways in order to achieve maximum strength. Blockboard may be used to make shelves, doors, paneling and partitions. <P> blockboard. Blockboard is a wood based panel, made up of a core of softwood strips glued together. The strips may be up to about 28mm wide and are placed edge to edge and sandwiched between veneers of softwood, hardwood or thin MDF or particleboard, glued under high pressure. Blockboard is used to make doors, tables, shelves, paneling and partition walls. It is normally used for interior usages, due to the type of glues used. To achieve maximum strength, it is important to ensure that the core runs lengthways. <P> The composition of blockboard is very different from other engineered woods such as plywood, MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) or Particle boards. It is made from solid blocks of wood at its core, sandwiched between layers of wood veneer (usually single layer of ply) on both its front and back faces. Disadvantages of Blockboard. Not as strong as plywood or good quality solid wood.

what is a segmentation gene
|
<P> A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. <P> Segmentation gene. Definition. noun, plural: segmentation genes. (1) Any of the genes involved in the early stages of pattern formation in the embryo. (2) A zygotic gene responsible for the formation of body segments. Supplement. The segmentation genes are classified into three groups: gap genes, pair-rule genes, and segment polarity genes. In Drosophila, the segmentation genes code for products responsible in forming stripes or segments in the fruit fly embryo. See also: zygotic gene <P> Your question is flawed. A codon is a unit of genetic information, just a tiny three-letter one. A gene is a unit of genetic information, just a larger one. However if the original question was multiple choice and went like this: A gene is: 1. A segment of DNA that carries a unit of information. 2. One arm of a single chromosome 3. A segment of DNA that is three nucleotides long. 4. The protein that results after translation is complete A gene is not 2, 3, or 4. 1 is the only option left. Best Answer: a segment of DNA that three nucleotides long. Three-letter sequences are called codons. They're a bit like words. gene. The recipe for one protein. A paragraph of codons. <P> Supplement. In zoology, segmentation refers to the division of a body part into segments. It may be homomeric segmentation in which the segments are more or less the same, or heteromeric segmentation wherein the segments differ from one another. Word origin: Latin segmentum + atio (process). Related term(s): 1 Segment. <P> The term ' segmentation gene ' is a classification given to a broad class of genes that are further subdivided into three smaller classes of genes. Within the segmentation gene group, there are gap genes, pair-rule genes and segment polarity genes. They control development in this order. These segmentation genes control the development of segments, or small repeated regions of a body that make up specific structures. If you were to look at a fly embryo during development, you'd quickly notice these segments along their bodies. <P> 1) Mutations in the segmentation genes gave us the first clue that the genes might function in a hierachy because the different classes of genes affectd progressively smaller regions of the embryo. (See Browder et al., 1991, Fig. 14.18; Gilbert, 1997, Fig. 14.18; Kalthoff, Fig. 21.6; Wolpert, 1998, Fig. Unlike the other classes of segmentation genes, the segment polarity genes include regulatory proteins other than transcription factors (i.e. secreted signaling molecules, receptors, kinases, etc.) and they mediate interactions between cells. <P> Segmentation Genes. It's true that your body shape has a lot to do with what you eat and how you exercise, but we all know that a lot of what you look like also comes from what is in your genes. They control development in this order. These segmentation genes control the development of segments, or small repeated regions of a body that make up specific structures. If you were to look at a fly embryo during development, you'd quickly notice these segments along their bodies. <P> The Hox genes are a set of transcription factor genes that exhibit an unusual property: They provide a glimpse of one way in which gene expression is translated into the many different forms that animals (metazoans) exhibit. The Hox genes are early actors in the cascade of interactions that enable the development of morphologically distinct regions in a segmented animal. Indeed, the activation of a Hox gene from the 3' end is one of the earliest triggers that lead the segment to develop into part of the head.

People with hypothyroidism are generally treated with one or more synthetic thyroid hormones, depending on the specific hormones they are deficient in. <P> Yes, thyroid disease can affect your mood — primarily causing either anxiety or depression. Generally, the more severe the thyroid disease, the more severe the mood changes. If you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), you may experience: 1 Unusual nervousness. 2 Restlessness. 3 Anxiety. 4 Irritability. <P> Information. Leaflets. People with thyroid disorders often have emotional or mental health symptoms as well as physical symptoms. This is especially the case for people with hyperthyroidism (an over-active thyroid), hypothyroidism (an under-active thyroid), thyroid related eye disease, or thyroid cancer. <P> Thyroid cancer is a malignancy arising from the thyroid gland. Thyroid cancers are classified as follicular, papillary, medullary, poorly differentiated, and anaplastic. Generally treatment includes surgery followed by radioactive iodine ablation and suppression of thyroid stimulating hormone. <P> The thyroid gland plays a number of important roles in the body. As well as its importance in physical health, this endocrine gland is now known to be important in maintaining mental health, as there is a growing body of evidence that confirms a link between thyroid and mood disorders.

scalp folliculitis what causes its diseases
|
<P> You may get folliculitis if you have damaged hair follicles. Shaving or wearing clothes that rub the skin can irritate the follicles, which can lead to folliculitis. They also can become blocked or irritated by sweat, machine oils, or makeup. When the follicles are injured, they are more likely to become infected. You are more likely to get folliculitis if you: 1 Use a hot tub, whirlpool, or swimming pool that is not properly treated with chlorine. 2 Wear tight clothes. 3 Use or work with substances that can irritate or block the follicles. <P> 1 Scalp folliculitis affects the scalp hair follicles. 2 It is also known as ‘Proprionibacterium folliculitis’ or ‘acne necrotica miliaris.’ It causes tiny, intensely itchy pustules within the scalp, primarily affecting the frontal hairline. 3 The lesions may occur in small numbers or may be appear as many lesions. It is a condition caused due to infection of the hair follicles by Staphylococcus aureus or other bacteria. Some variants of folliculitis are also called barber’s itch or hot tub folliculitis. Extreme cases can result in scarring and permanent loss of hair. <P> Folliculitis. Folliculitis is caused by an infection of hair follicles, usually from the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Folliculitis may also be caused by viruses, fungi and even an inflammation from ingrown hairs. Damaged follicles are at risk of infection. The most common causes of follicle damage are: 1 Friction from shaving or tight clothing. 2 Heat and sweat, such as that caused by wearing rubber gloves or waders. <P> Various types of Superficial Folliculitis. Bacterial Folliculitis. The most common bacterial folliculitis causes are the Staphylococcus bacteria. Staphylococcus bacterial folliculitis is probably more common in those who have eczema and diabetes. It generally affects the face, scalp, upper trunk, buttocks and eyelids. Because of the superficial nature of the process, involvement of the scalp rarely leads to scarring, although temporary hair loss may occur. <P> Faster than Major Brands*. Scalp folliculitis is an infection or inflammation of the hair follicles. Killing infection-causing bacteria as quickly as possible puts you on the road to clear, healthy skin. Terrasil Skin Repair contains powerful antiseptic (bacteria-fighting) ingredients that protect against infection. Fight Infection for Fast Healing of Scalp Folliculitis. Scalp folliculitis is an infection or inflammation of the hair follicles, the small sacs beneath the skin from which hair develops and grows. Signs and symptoms include: 1 Patches of small, itchy, inflamed bumps. 2 Itchy pustules <P> Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles. Each hair on your body grows out of a tiny pouch called a follicle. You can have folliculitis on any part of your body that has hair. When the follicles are injured, they are more likely to become infected.

This Scalp Skin Condition can appear anywhere on the skin where there are hair follicles. Folliculitis is often associated with infections and Autoimmune conditions effecting the Hair and Scalp Skin. Folliculitis can be caused by hair follicle damaged due to friction from clothing, insect bites or stings, shaving, scalp skin eruptions, trauma to the scalp from tight braids, traction from hair styling techniques and poor hair extension methods and maintenance. <P> Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles mainly with bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common bacteria that causes folliculitis. It is more likely to occur in a person who shaves the hair on the head and communal bathing like in hot tubs hence the common name hot tub folliculitis. <P> Deep folliculitis is usually more severe. Follicles are densest on your scalp, and they occur everywhere on your body except your palms, soles, lips and mucous membranes. Damaged follicles are at risk of infection. The most common causes of follicle damage are: 1 Friction from shaving or tight clothing. 2 Heat and sweat, such as that caused by wearing rubber gloves or waders.

what is the culture in antigone
|
<P> Another demonstration of the importance of family in Greek culture can be seen in Sophocles’ play, Antigone. In this play we see that Antigone is upset because King Creon decreed that Polynices is not to be buried because he is considered a traitor to Thebes. Even today family remains as vital an aspect in Greek culture as it was in ancient times. In Euripides’ play Medea, the Greek value of family is exemplified in the scene where Helios saves Medea. In the play, Medea’s actions would normally cause a god to smite her. <P> Antigone was an ancient figure even to the ancient Greeks. Most specifically the play is set in front of the palace of Thebes. This place has been the sight of much tragedy for Antigone's family. It's where her mother/grandmother, Jocasta, committed suicide, and where her brother/father Oedipus discovered his shame and gouged out his own eyes. Antigone, like Oedipus the King, is set in that disaster-prone city-state known as Thebes. Though most Greek playwrights were from Athens, their plays are hardly ever set there. This is not because they had no hometown pride. In fact, they weren't allowed to set their plays in Athens. <P> do as you like, dishonor the laws the gods hold in honor (Antigone 85-92). When looking at Ancient Greek literature, one can see the importance family plays in Greek culture. We see this displayed in the Greek works Medea by Euripides and Antigone by Sophocles. Throughout these literary works we see that family is a strong and important cultural value which remains undiminished in value throughout Greek history. Even today family remains as vital an aspect in Greek culture as it was in ancient times. In Euripides’ play Medea, the Greek value of family is exemplified in the scene where Helios saves Medea. In the play, Medea’s actions would normally cause a god to smite her. <P> In ancient Greece, Antigone is mostly related to the myth that was told by the Ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, although there is reference to a different Antigone in the ancient Greek World. When Oedipus left the kingdom of Thebes, the kingdom was entrusted to Creon, as Oedipus sons were too young to ascend to rule. Antigone was the daughter of King Oedipus of Thebes and Jocasta. The story says, Oedipus, the son of Laius and Jocasta killed his father Laius and became the king of Thebes. Oedipus unknowingly married his own mother Jocasta and had children by her. Thus, Antigone was the daughter and the sister of Oedipus <P> Antigone. Antigone was the daughter of King Oedipus of Thebes and Jocasta. The story says, Oedipus, the son of Laius and Jocasta killed his father Laius and became the king of Thebes. Oedipus unknowingly married his own mother Jocasta and had children by her. Thus, Antigone was the daughter and the sister of Oedipus <P> Buy Study Guide. There is no question that pride, in the context of Antigone (and most of Sophocles ' works), is a trait despised by the gods and punished without mercy. In Antigone, Sophocles describes the type of pride that allows men to create laws that substitute for divine principles. In the 20th century, a version of Antigone rewritten during the Second World War became one of the most powerful texts of resistance against the Nazis. The conflict between the individual and the power of the state was as pressing for Greek audiences as it is to modern ones. <P> ANCIENT GREECE-SOPHOCLES-ANTIGONE (Tragedy, Greek, c. 442 BCE, 1,352 lines) Introduction | Synopsis | Analysis | Resources Introduction Back to Top of Page Antigone is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, written around 442 BCE. <P> Eurydice of Thebes is the Queen of Thebes and Creon’s wife. She appears towards the end and only to hear confirmation of her son Haemon’s death. In her grief, she commits suicide, cursing Creon whom she blames for her son’s death. Haemon is the son of Creon and Eurydice, betrothed to Antigone. In Antigone, the hubris of Creon is revealed. Creon's decree to leave Polyneices unburied in itself makes a bold statement about what it means to be a citizen, and what constitutes abdication of citizenship. It was the firmly kept custom of the Greeks that each city was responsible for the burial of its citizens. <P> The last issue Sophocles comments on in Antigone is the role of power and authority in a culture. Creon is the king and can do essentially whatever he chooses; in this play he chooses not to allow Polyneices a proper burial. It is true that Antigone is as intractable as Creon; however, her stubbornness is based on family pride rather than personal pride. Women were not traditionally part of the Greek culture, so having a woman speak and act as Antigone does is may be Sophocles' way of suggesting that women's voices add value to

cost per hour air conditioner
|
<P> 500 Wh x $ 0.25 = $0.12 per hour to run our air conditioner. Twelve cents per hour is your hourly cooling cost to run your A/C. Paul Presson, R.A. notes: Correct the cost per operating hour calculation-the $0.25/kwh needs to be divided by 1,000 to get the watt hour cost.. <P> Typical Electricity Costs. The town of Wellesley, Mass., has estimated the average cost of running central air conditioning in a typical home for six hours a day will use 900 kilowatt/hours (kWh) per month. At a cost of $0.134 per kWh, this amounts to $120.60 per month. A large 12,000 BTU air conditioner, like that in a window, running six hours each day will consume 270 kWh, at a cost of $36.26 per month. A smaller 6,500 BTU room air conditioner will consume 144 kWh at a cost of $19.34 per month. The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the standard unit of measurement for electricity in the United States. <P> In this case, the cost per month will be approximately $45. A yearly cost can be determined by multiplying the cost per week, $11.20, by how many weeks in a year, 52. The total approximate yearly amount to run a 5,000-Btu air conditioner continuously will be about $585. <P> 1 The cost to operate the unit will vary from region to region. 2 In the San Francisco Bay Area, for example, the kilowatt-hour cost is about 63 percent greater than the national average, so it would cost about $950 annually to run a 5,000-Btu air conditioner. <P> For example, a 12,000 BTU air conditioner with a SEER rating of 10 and a cost of 25 cents per kWh would calculate as follows: 12,000 BTUs / SEER 10 = 1,200 W = 1.2 kWh. 1.2 kWh x $0.25 = $0.30 per hour to run your window air conditioner. At 8 hours a day for 125 days of summer, your window air conditioner will have an annual running cost of $300 a year.

Ship Smart has 300 locations nationwide and offers an online quoting system to get your price 24/7. <P> Shipping a car from west coast to Hawaii cost around $900 - $1400, additional cost around $400 - $500 to ship it from California. Anyway, there will be some additional cost … involved, and the cost of shipping car will vary depend on what your car type, method to transport it. IKEA furniture can range in price from very affordable and cheaper material to average pricing. It also depends on what type … of furniture you are buying. For example a full size bed frame starts at $49.99 to $599.00. <P> It depends on the weight of the furniture and the type of transport you choose to ship. Usually this route would be shipped first by land (truck) then by train (depending on export location) then by sea and a metal container. IKEA furniture can range in price from very affordable and cheaper material to average pricing. It also depends on what type … of furniture you are buying. For example a full size bed frame starts at $49.99 to $599.00. <P> Usually, furniture movers charge per hour for local moves, starting with an initial fee for 2 or 3 hours. Even if movers work less, you will have to pay that fee. Hiring two movers would cost you about $220 – $250 and after that for each additional hour, you will have to pay about $80 per hour. In order to find out what the furniture moving costs will be, get an estimate. Ask the sales representative to estimate furniture moving costs after an in-home survey is executed. In Canada, the furniture moving rates come at $70 for two men and a truck and at $85 for 3 men and a truck on average per hour. <P> You might make it work if you are selling $4,000 Italian Silk couches or very expensive antique furniture but for your run of the mill $1,000 sofa/loveseat set (much less for used furniture) it would never work because the expenses rates would be too high. The only way to ship big things like this is on a pallet. <P> 3 movers would cost you about $300 – $350 initially and afterwards each additional hour will have a furniture move cost of about $100 – $110. For 4 movers you can expect furniture moving prices of about $350 – $420 initially and then – about $120 – $130 for every additional hour of work. The furniture moving rates depend on a number of factors like amount of things to move or volume, distance of moving and moving dates.

In Canada, the furniture moving rates come at $70 for two men and a truck and at $85 for 3 men and a truck on average per hour. <P> You already know that terminal-to-terminal is the cheapest way to move furniture across the country. What that means for most moves is a savings of at least $300. Check with your U-Pack moving consultant to see how much you can save. If you’re only able to go to the terminal on one end, that’s an option, too! To determine the cheapest way to move your furniture across the country, get an instant quote online, or call a friendly moving specialist at 800-413-4799. If you have any questions about moving furniture with U-Pack, leave a comment below. <P> Realistically, a sofa being shipped coast to coast by way of hire, could cost $300 to $650 depending on weight, length and other factors like geographic locations. To carry the move-a quilted sofa cover could run $55 alone. Chair covers perhaps $28 and for a love seat cover, $40 would be expected. A wheeled 1000 lb furniture dolley is about $20, for which a pair could be needed to scoot things along, that are available at home centers. Altogether, shipping furniture, due to its irregular cumbersome makeup can get expensive. And usually someone else, aside from freight, performs the pickup. Lesser costs can come in where someone else helps unload at the endpoint to take it from there. After delivery, being faced with a temporary storage unit can cost $55 to $90 a month, and that much easily for a temperature-controlled environment.

average lifespan of a giraffe in the wild versus captivity
|
<P> Their favorites are apples, bananas, and carrots. The life span for giraffes in captivity isn’t increased much though. In the wild they can live from 15 to 25 years. In captivity that increases from about 32 to 40 years. The biggest change here is that the young have a better chance of living to adulthood. In the wild approximately half of them will be killed in their first year of life by predators. This means that they do things in captivity that the won’t do normally in the wild. For the giraffes it has to do with the use of their tongues all the time. This is often due to the fact that they are given toys and other objects for stimulation due to the lack of environment that they have to roam around in. <P> 1. Premature Deaths. Orcas in the wild have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years—their estimated maximum lifespan is 60 to 70 years for males and 80 to over 100 for females. The average age of death for orcas who have died at SeaWorld is 13 years old. © Free Morgan Foundation. <P> 1 In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). 1 127 of these orcas are now dead. 2 In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). <P> Female giraffes weigh between 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be 16 feet tall. POPULATION: Giraffe populations are relatively stable. LIFESPAN: Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild. RANGE: Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa. HABITAT: Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, where they roam freely among the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open plains. <P> At least 151 orcas have been taken into captivity from the wild since 1961 (including Pascuala and Morgan). 1 127 of these orcas are now dead. 2 In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). 1 127 of these orcas are now dead. 2 In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). <P> Only 25 to 50% of giraffe calves reach adulthood; the life expectancy is between 20 and 25 years in the wild and 28 years in captivity. The giraffe browses on the twigs of trees, preferring plants of the Mimosa genus; but it appears that it can, without inconvenience, live on other vegetable food. LIFESPAN: Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild. RANGE: Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa. HABITAT: Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, where they roam freely among the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open plains. <P> Zoo females only live 19 years—about half the life span of the Myanma timber elephants, which, on average, survive until 42. What's more, the team discovered that Asian elephants bred and born in captivity died earlier than those imported into zoos from the wild. That really surprised us, Mason said. For African elephants, the median life span is 17 years for zoo-born females, compared to 56 years in the Amboseli National Park population. For Asian elephants, the results are much more worrying because they are the rarer of the two species, Mason said. Enlarge Photo. <P> Orcas in the wild have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years, and some make it much longer. They swim up to 100 miles a day, and eat fresh fish. They live in pods with family members, and maintain complex relationships with others. Wild. The largest of the big cats, tigers can weigh up to 850 pounds. Territorial and solitary, but also social animals, they often live and travel across a habitat that can span across 7.7 square miles for female tigers, to 23 to 39 square miles for male tigers. <P> Wild Or Captivity. Lions live for about 10-16 years in the wild. While in captivity they live for as long as 20-25 years old. This is because in captivity they are entertained and fed properly.

electrical upgrade cost
|
<P> Just a note on panel upgrades. For a majority of the states electrical code panels (2011 National Electrical Code), when upgrading a panel, a majority of breakers must be replaced with the Arc-Fault type. this may increase the past cost of the job by as much as $50 a breaker. Electrician: NW Vaughn Electric. average cost for a 100A complete service upgrade 1200 - 1500 200A complete service upgrade 1800-2000 complete upgrade includes new meter, new service drop, new 100A or 200A Panel, utility grounding bridge, 2 ground rods, all necessary breakers. labor and permit fees included. <P> 1 Typically it costs $800-$1,200 to have a qualified electrician upgrade an existing panel to 100 amps, or $1,500-$2,500 if a new panel is needed. 2 Expect to pay $1,300-$3,000 to upgrade to 200 amps, or $2,000-$4,000 to go to 400 amps. 3 Installing a new sub-panel runs $500-$1,000.

This project can cost between $700 and $1,500. Cost of Redoing the Electrical in a House. In older homes, even changing an outlet can quickly require a major electrical overhaul. Updating the electrical wiring in a house is not the way most homeowners want to spend their remodeling budget. Rewiring an entire house can range anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000. The cost depends heavily on the age and construction of the house, instead of the size of the home <P> If a brand new panel is needed expect to pay double or triple that price, as much as $2,500 for 100 amps. If you are in need of a panel that can handle more than 100 amps the price goes up. If you wish to upgrade your existing electric breaker panel to 200 amps the cost is anywhere from $1,200-$3,000. Upgrading to a 400-amp panel, which is what most new homes are being constructed with, will range anywhere from $2000 all the way up to $4000. You have an option of installing an electrical subpanel to supplement your existing panel. If you wish to just upgrade your existing panel to 100 amps without buying a new panel expect to pay anywhere from $800-$1300. Keep in mind that if you want to upgrade your existing panel it must be a relatively new model. <P> Electrical Subpanel Cost. In most cases of upgrading to a 400-amp electric panel (and in some cases a 200-amp panel) you will also need a subpanel or two. These subpanels range in price from $500-$1000. You have an option of installing an electrical subpanel to supplement your existing panel. If you wish to just upgrade your existing panel to 100 amps without buying a new panel expect to pay anywhere from $800-$1300. Keep in mind that if you want to upgrade your existing panel it must be a relatively new model. <P> Our free calculator uses recent, trusted data to estimate costs for your Electrical Service Panel Upgrade project.

Electrical Service Panel Debris Disposal Costs. Costs to load and haul away old materials and installation waste. <P> The average home is going to require a minimum of 100 amp service, but it isn't unheard of to see installations of 200 amps and more. For this discussion we will look at the costs of upgrading the average home from 40 amps to a new panel with 200 amp service. The average cost for a 200 amp upgrade is going to be from $1300 to $3000 (including materials).

how can i tell if someone is viewing my facebook page
|
<P> Back in March 2010, I wrote a post called Beware of “Who Viewed My Profile” Apps on Facebook. It’s still one of my top five viewed posts, with more than 4,400 page views in the past month alone. So it’s obviously a topic of great interest to people. <P> No. Facebook doesn't let you track who views your profile or your posts (ex: your photos). Third-party apps are also unable to do this. If you come across an app that says it can show you who's viewing your profile or posts, please report the app. More info. Get help for mobile apps and browsers. <P> I've been told by a few of my fb friends to I could check who has been looking at my profile. But now your telling me NO I CAN'T. My question to you is why the xxxx not. With the crazy ppl out there. I'm only on Facebook because I have grandkids and framily all over this planet. <P> Technically, you can track which IP addresses have viewed your page. But to track specific people is against the site's rules. Though there is software that can be used, using it is against the site's rules. So currently, there is no way to track who views your Facebook profile without breaking Facebook's rules. <P> Someone told me that you could see who has viewed your profile page, I haven't heard of this before and I was wondering there was an option that you could do that? <P> Bad news, I'm afraid. There is *no* way that you can find out who has been looking at your Facebook profile. The only people who might have the data is Facebook itself, and it doesn't seem interested in providing the functionality. <P> If you block your ex, he can’t see your Facebook profile. However, he can see if you comment on other people’s posts if you’re mutual friends. Also, if someone tags you in a post or shares one of yours, he might be able to see it. But he won’t be able to go to your Timeline and see what you’ve posted directly.

what types of invertebrates are there
|
<P> Different types of Vertebrates. We have learned that in the animal kingdom, there are two groups; vertebrates and invertebrates. This page focuses on vertebrates. There are 5 groups of vertebrates we will look at. They are fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammal <P> Animals. Some of the better-known groups of invertebrates include: 1 Arthropods (Arthropoda) - There are more than one million known arthropods species and many millions more that have yet to be named. 2 Scientists estimate there may be as many as 30 million species of arthropods (most of which are insects). <P> Echinoderms are a type of invertebrate found in marine or ocean environments. Common echinoderms include the sea star, sea urchin, sand dollar and sea cucumber. Most echinoderms have arms or spines that radiate from the center of their body. Cnidaria are a class of invertebrates found in aquatic or marine environments. The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word cnidos, meaning stinging nettle. There are about 9,000 species of cnidaria, the most common being the jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. <P> Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans. There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropods include insects, crustaceans and arachnids. Click on the picture or name of the animals below for more information. <P> Invertebrates are animals with no internal skeleton or backbone. Invertebrates make up about 95% of all animal species on Earth. Types of invertebrates include annelids, arachnids, cnidaria, crustaceans, echinoderms, insects, mollusks, and protozoa. Exceptions include amphibians, birds, fish, … [Read more...]. Cnidaria are a class of invertebrates found in aquatic or marine environments.

There are about 9,000 species of cnidaria, the most common being the jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. <P> Groups of Animals. Because there are so many different types of animals in the world biologists have sorted them into groups. This is called classifying. The two main groups of animals are vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are all animals with a backbone. Humans have a backbone which is part of their skeleton. A skeleton gives the body support and shape. <P> Almost all animals fall into one of two groups. Adult vertebrates have a spinal column, or backbone, running the length of the body; invertebrates do not. Vertebrates are often larger and have more complex bodies than invertebrates. However, there are many more invertebrates than vertebrates. <P> That's it! There are so many different types of invertebrates that making a list of uniting characteristics is almost impossible. Invertebrates are a very diverse group of species, including: 1 Insects. 2 Spiders. 3 Crustaceans (lobsters and crabs). 4 Worms. 5 Mollusks (squids, snails and clams). 6 Coral

how soon do concrete control joints need to be cut
|
<P> Timing is very important. Joints should be sawed as soon as the concrete will withstand the energy of sawing without raveling or dislodging aggregate particles. For most concrete mixtures, this means sawing should be completed within the first six to 18 hours and never delayed more than 24 hours. The soils or granular fill supporting the slab in service must be either undisturbed soil or well compacted. In addition, contraction joints should be placed to produce panels that are as square as possible and never exceeding a length to width ratio of 1.5 to 1 (Figure 1). <P> For this reason control joints are cut into the slab every 10' or so that there is a weak spot for the crack to find. A rule of thumb is to cut 1/5th of the slab thickness so normally a 4 slab is cut at a depth of 1. When the slab wants to crack it will find the weakest spot and crack right beneath the control joint. Walk-behind saws do require a bit of room behind the blade to place the saw on. In order to cut this last 4' piece you'll have to turn the saw around later on to finish up the last 4'. If you are cutting short runs, such as control joints on a sidewalk, you will be better off with a hand-held saw. <P> Generally, contraction joints for a 4-inch-thick slab are placed 8 to 10 feet on center maximum in both directions. A 20-foot by 40-foot drive should be divided into eight to 10 equal pieces, one joint lengthwise and three to four joints perpendicular to the length. Then, when the concrete cracks, these cracks will occur at the bottom of the control joints where they can't be seen. If sawcutting is the selected approach, the slab should be cut to a depth of one-fourth of the thickness, for example, a 4-inch slab will need a 1-inch deep cut. <P> 1 For more information, read about Where to Place Control Joints. 2 For an unreinforced slab, control joints should be spaced in feet 2 to 3 times the slab thickness in inches. 3 In other words, for a 4-inch slab, space the joints 8 to 12 feet apart. 4 The spacing is highly dependent on the concrete mix's shrinkage potential. Both isolation and construction joints are formed before the concrete is poured; contraction joints (or control joints) are placed in the fresh concrete before it has a chance to create its own joints—also known as cracks. <P> Thesejoints are typically not as deep as those ob-tained by the conventional saw-cut process,but should be a minimum of 1 inch [25 mm] indepth.• Conventional saw-cut joints should be runwithin 4 to 12 hours after the concrete hasbeen finished.d. <P> Contraction/Control Joints. Contraction/control joints are placed in concrete slabs to control random cracking. A fresh concrete mixture is a fluid, plastic mass that can be molded into virtually any shape, but as the material hardens there is a reduction in volume or shrinkage. The soils or granular fill supporting the slab in service must be either undisturbed soil or well compacted. In addition, contraction joints should be placed to produce panels that are as square as possible and never exceeding a length to width ratio of 1.5 to 1 (Figure 1). <P> 1 For an unreinforced slab, control joints should be spaced in feet 2 to 3 times the slab thickness in inches. 2 In other words, for a 4-inch slab, space the joints 8 to 12 feet apart. 3 The spacing is highly dependent on the concrete mix's shrinkage potential. Both isolation and construction joints are formed before the concrete is poured; contraction joints (or control joints) are placed in the fresh concrete before it has a chance to create its own joints—also known as cracks. <P> Grooving tools cut joints in fresh concrete. Saw cutting cuts joints as soon as the concrete is hard enough that the edges abutting the cut don't chip from the saw blade. Cutting joints soon enough. In hot weather, concrete might crack if joints are not cut within 6-12 hours after finishing concrete. In this condition, if you don't want to use a grooving tool to cut joints, there are early-entry dry-cut lightweight saws that can be used almost immediately after finishing. Control joints are planned cracks which allow for movements caused by temperature changes and drying shrinkage. In other words, if the concrete does crack-you want to have an active role in deciding where it will crack and that it will crack in a straight line instead of randomly. Space joints properly.

what is a ghutra
|
<P> Many expats think wearing the ghutra is part of tradition or culture, it’s actually much more than that. Arabs used to use it to protect the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sandstorms, centuries ago traveling on a camel the ghutra helped immensely. Today most don’t even know it serves as protection. To my surprise many that wear the ghutra on a daily basis had no idea, since we have a dust storm every other weekend the ghutra comes in handy. I don’t know if the abaya is of any help for the ladies in that situation. Photos courtesy of BBC & Al Anba News <P> These 10 facts about space will blow your mind. The keffiyeh is a type of headdress worn by men in many Arabic countries. It is known by numerous other names, including many alternate spellings of the word keffiyeh. Other names include shemag, yashmag, ghutra, mashada and hatta. In Palestine, the scarf, typically made of cotton, or cotton and wool, has a spider-web pattern and is often black and white. In other countries keffiyeh may vary in design and color. In addition to being traditional garb, the keffiyeh serves an incredibly functional purpose. <P> Ghutra is a square shaped cotton fabric. It is folded diagonally to form a triangular shape. When it is worn, Gutrah is also folded from the front. Men wear gutrah on the top of Kufeya. It is made from cotton or a a polyester mix. However, this color is commonly changed into darker colors such as brown, navy blue, black during the winter. Winter's thawb are made from wool. The collar of the thawb comes in different styles. <P> The Palestinian keffiyeh is a gender-neutral chequered black and white scarf that is usually worn around the neck or head. The Palestinian keffiyeh has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, dating back to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. The wearing of the keffiyeh often comes with criticism from various political factions in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The slang “keffiyeh kinderlach” refers to young left-wing American Jews, particularly college students, who sport a keffiyeh around the neck as a political/fashion statement. <P> The keffiyeh has been worn by Arabs residing in regions in Arabia, Jordan and Iraq for over a century. During the 1960s, usage of the black and white Palestinian keffiyeh grew as Palestinian nationalism increased and the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat adopted it as a symbol. The keffiyeh is almost always of white cotton cloth, but many have a checkered pattern in red or black stitched into them. The plain white keffiyeh is most popular in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf – in Kuwait and Bahrain, to the exclusion of almost any other style. <P> The keffiyeh is usually folded in half (into a triangle) and the fold worn across the forehead. Often, the keffiyeh is held in place by a circlet of rope called an agal (Arabic: عقال , ʿiqāl). Some wearers wrap the keffiyeh into a turban, while others wear it loosely draped around the back and shoulders. The keffiyeh is almost always of white cotton cloth, but many have a checkered pattern in red or black stitched into them. The plain white keffiyeh is most popular in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf – in Kuwait and Bahrain, to the exclusion of almost any other style. <P> The Taqiyah. The Taqiyah is a small white cap that keeps the ghutra from slipping off the head. In some places like Egypt, Sudan and other African countries, Tagiya is worn by itself with no other headcover. When worn by itself, Tagiyah can be of any color, while when worn under a headcover, it is always white. This type of clothing is very popular in the Middle east and other Islamic countries. The style may vary slightly from country to country. The headdress consists of three things: the Taqiyah, the Ghutra ,and the Iqal. Some men may choose not to wear the Iqal. The Ghutra. Ghutrah, which is a part of the headdress worn by Arab men, is a square scarf made of cotton, and is worn folded into a triangular shape with the fold in the front over the Tagiyah <P> On the top of Ghutra or Shumag, doubled black rope-like cord called igal is worn in order to hold ghutra in place. Igal is generally made of tightly woven black goat-hair and sheep's wool. Igal should not wrap around the forehead as kufeya do. It is made from cotton or a a polyester mix. However, this color is commonly changed into darker colors such as brown, navy blue, black during the winter. Winter's thawb are made from wool. The collar of the thawb comes in different styles.

how long to cook salmon fillet temperature oven
|
<P> Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Place a salmon fillet, oiled side down, atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape <P> Place the bag with the marinade and salmon fillets in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 1 Salmon, like all fish, is not as dense as red meats and poultry. 2 As a result, it does not need to be marinaded for long in order to absorb flavor. 3 Remove the salmon from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to cooking. Place the bag with the marinade and salmon fillets in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 1 Salmon, like all fish, is not as dense as red meats and poultry. 2 <P> When baking a tail wrapped in foil, use 375° as the heat setting and bake the fish for 20-22 minutes. ● Salmon Steak. Steaks of course are much thicker than a fillet. For each 1″ of thickness, figure on 10 minutes of baking time. ● Middle Fillet. This fillet is one of the thickest cuts at about a 2″ thickness, coming from the middle section of the fish. The best way to cook the thicker fillets is to use 400° as the set temperature and bake the fish for 18-20 minutes. If a lower heat is desired, season the fillet and wrap it in foil, sealing it tightly and bake at 350° for about 25-30 minutes. ● Thin Fillet <P> Another thing that determines how long the salmon is baked is oven temperature. Typically, recipes for baking salmon call for an oven temperature of 350 to 450 degrees. The salmon should always be put into a pre-heated oven. Cooking in an oven that hasn't been pre-heated can cause drying of the fish. <P> 10 Minutes Per Inch. Bake salmon in a preheated, 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Many salmon fillets are around an inch thick, so plan on baking it for around 10 minutes. Turn the filet halfway through, cooking 5 minutes per inch on each side <P> Bake Until Opaque and Flaky. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F for fillets or 350 degrees F for a dressed fish. You can bake the fillets at a lower temperature, if desired, but remember to increase the cooking time. Bake salmon fillets or steaks, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness. For a dressed salmon, bake for 6 to 9 minutes per 8 ounces of fish. To test for doneness, insert a fork into the salmon and gently twist. The salmon is done as soon as it begins to flake. Be sure to test at the minimum baking time. <P> Directions. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with the Toasted Almond Parsley Salad and squash, if desired. Mince the shallot and add to a small bowl <P> Place the salmon in the roasting pan: Place the salmon in the roasting pan, skin-side down. Transfer to the oven. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes per half-inch thickness of salmon: Roasting time depends on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the salmon fillet. For every half-inch of salmon, roast 4 to 6 minutes — 4 minutes will give you salmon that is still a touch rare, 6 minutes will thoroughly cook it.

rheumatoid meaning
|
<P> A. pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in your joints. It can affect any joint but is common in the wrist and fingers.You might have the disease for only a short time, or symptoms might come and go. The severe form can last a lifetime. A. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means the problem is that the body attacks its own cells, in this case, the joints. The cause for this autoimmunity is unknown, and there are factors that are known to worsen an attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rheumatoid_arthritis_joint.gif <P> A. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means the problem is that the body attacks its own cells, in this case, the joints. The cause for this autoimmunity is unknown, and there are factors that are known to worsen an attack. Applications of heat or cold may be used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Heat applications improve circulation, promote relaxation, and relieve pain. When used in conjunction with exercise, heat can allow more freedom of joint movement. <P> About RA. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. In some people, it can also cause the joints to become damaged and deformed. 1 Although it can affect any joint in the body, RA is most commonly found in the hands, wrists, feet, and knees. 2 Usually, if it is found in one hand, it will appear in the other as well. <P> Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of joints. Rheumatoid disease can also involve inflammation of tissues in other areas of the body, such as the lungs, heart, and eyes. Because it can affect multiple organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is referred to as a systemic illness. <P> : characteristic of or affected with rheumatoid arthritis. <P> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes premature mortality, disability and compromised quality of life in the industrialized and developing world (1). Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory disease which manifests itself in multiple joints of the body. 1 RA is diagnosed clinically, but classified according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis http://www.rheumatology.org/practice/clinical/classification/ra/ra_2010.asp (7, 8). <P> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long lasting autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints. Pain and stiffness often worsen following rest. Most commonly the wrist and hands are involved with typically the same joints involved on both sides of the body. While the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not clear, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism involves the body's immune system attacking the joints. This results in inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule <P> 1 Informally, arthritis often refers to osteoarthritis, while rheumatism describes rheumatoid arthritis. 2 Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune disease (where the body attacks itself). 3 More than 50 million Americans are thought to be living with arthritis. Old and new words, lay and medical terms. While rheumatism is still found in the lay dictionaries to denote any of a number of pain conditions of the muscles and joints, doctors no longer use the word. One medical dictionary, Black's, says it is an obsolete medical term which no longer has a defined meaning. 1.

<P> Monatomic Ions Ions are atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. While atoms are neutral, ions are charged particles. OE ø a loss of electrons results in a positive ion or (cation “pronounced-cat-eye”). ON Oe ø a gain of electrons results in a negative ion (or “anion-pronounced-an”). eye on <P> Monatomic Ions. Ion Vocabulary An ion is an atom or group of atoms that have a charge. A monatomic ion is an atom with a charge. The charge on the atom is called an oxidation number. A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge. A cation is a positive ion. An anion is a negative ion. Types of monatomic ions and the rules for naming them The periodic table is useful in naming the monatomic i <P> A monatomic ion is an ion consisting of a single atom. If an ion contains more than one atom, even if these atoms are of the same element, it is called a polyatomic ion. For example, calcium carbonate consists of the monatomic ion Ca 2+ and the polyatomic ion CO 3 2− . A type I binary ionic compound contains a metal (cation) that forms only one type of ion. A type II ionic compound contains a metal that forms more than one type of ion, i.e., ions with different charges <P> A. Monatomic Ions In order to determine the charge of monatomic ions, you can use the periodic table as a guide: Group # (Column) Ion Charge Examples 1 +These elements lose one electron to form +1 ions. Na, Li + , K 2 2+These elements lose two electrons to form +2 ions. While atoms are neutral, ions are charged particles. OE ø a loss of electrons results in a positive ion or (cation “pronounced-cat-eye”). ON Oe ø a gain of electrons results in a negative ion (or “anion-pronounced-an”). eye on <P> · just now. Report Abuse. monatomic means there is only one atom. a monatomic ion is an ion that consists of one atom with either excess or a lack of electrons and it has either a negative or a positive charge. Some examples of monatomic ions are Cl(-) and Mg(2+). Thus, Na+ is a monatomic ion, whereas NH4+ is not. Anything with a charge (that is, anything that is not neutral or 0 charge) is an ion. Mg2+ is more charged than Na+. A molecule is diatomic if it has two atoms (which could be the same or different), triatomic if it has three atoms, and so on so forth. <P> Monoatomic ions are the elements that have either lost or gained electrons by bonding with another element. The Periodic Table helps us with all the monoatmoic ions in the A groups (the s and p-block), but it doesn't give us any information about the B group (the d-block). <P> Monoatomic Ion Definition: A monatomic ion is an ion formed from a single atom. Examples: KCl dissociates in water into K + and Cl-ions. Both of these ions are monatomic ions. <P> Mono means one, and atomic refers to an atom... so monatomic means that you have only one atom. Thus, Na+ is a monatomic ion, whereas NH4+ is not. Anything with a charge (that is, anything that is not neutral or 0 charge) is an ion. Mg2+ is more charged than Na+. A molecule is diatomic if it has two atoms (which could be the same or different), triatomic if it has three atoms, and so on so forth. <P> An ion that isnt monatomic is SO4(2-), since it consists of 5 atoms. Group 2 elements often have a charge of 2+ because the ions like to achieve a noble gas state, which it does when it loses 2 electrons. For the non metals, it is monatomic if there is only one atom in the ion. Thus, Na+ is a monatomic ion, whereas NH4+ is not. Anything with a charge (that is, anything that is not neutral or 0 charge) is an ion. Mg2+ is more charged than Na+. A molecule is diatomic if it has two atoms (which could be the same or different), triatomic if it has three atoms, and so on so forth. <P> Monatomic or monoatomic elements are elements that are stable as single atoms. Mon-or Mono-means one. In order for an element to be stable by itself, it needs to have a stable octet of valence electrons. The noble gases exist as monatomic elements: 1 helium. 2 neon. 3 argon. 4 krypton. 5 xenon. 6 radon.

what is mitochondrial biogenesis
|
<P> PGC-1alpha itself is regulated by several different key factors involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, which will be reviewed in this chapter. Of those, AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is of major importance. AMPK acts as an energy sensor of the cell and works as a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. AMPK activity has been shown to decrease with age, which may contribute to decreased mitochondrial biogenesis and function with aging. <P> Table of contents. Mitochondrial Biogenesis is the process by which new mitochondria are formed in the cell. Purpose of Mitochondria: The mitochondria are organelles within the cell that are responsible for the biochemical processes of respiration and ADP phosphorylation to ATP. Conclusion: The mitochondria is a very important part of metabolism. It is important to have a basic understanding of the location, components, and function of the that drive ATP production in order to better understand the following material concerning biogenesis. <P> What is Mitochondrial Biogenesis? Mitochondrial biogenesis is a process that was first described over 40 years ago by a pioneer in the field of exercise physiology named John Holloszy, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Think of him as the godfather of exercise physiology. In conclusion, a single bout of low-volume HIIT can activate mitochondrial biogenesis and even double endurance capacity as compared with aerobic exercise of the same energy expenditure. The key is consistency, and finding what works best for your life. <P> Mitochondrial biogenesis is a process that was first described over 40 years ago by a pioneer in the field of exercise physiology named John Holloszy, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Think of him as the godfather of exercise physiology. Over the past few decades there has been considerable focus on the effect of exercise, diet, aging and disease on mitochondrial health. Understanding the basic physiology of mitochondria and how they replicate in response to your lifestyle can have profound impacts on your overall health. <P> Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which new mitochondria are formed in the cell. Mitochondrial biogenesis is activated by numerous different signals during times of cellular stress or in response to environmental stimuli. The mitochondrion is a key regulator of the metabolic activity of the cell, and is also an important organelle in both production and degradation of free radicals. The master regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis appear to be the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PGC) family of transcriptional coactivators, including PGC-1α, PGC-1β, and the PGC-related coactivator, PRC. PGC-1α, in particular, is thought to be a master regulator <P> Figure 1. Overall synopsis of mitochondrial biogenesis in a muscle cell. Signals originating at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) include propagated action potentials and the release of trophic substances, which interact with the postsynaptic membrane. Mitochondrial biogenesis within muscle consists of two possible mutually inclusive alterations: [ 1 ] an increase in mitochondrial content per gram of tissue and/or [ 2 ] a change in mitochondrial composition, with an alteration in mitochondrial protein-to-lipid ratio (4). <P> The result of mitochondrial biogenesis is an expansion of the network of mitochondria within a cell, and an increase in the maximal amount of ATP that can be generated during intense exercise. In short – more mitochondria means more ATP production at peak exercise conditions. In conclusion, a single bout of low-volume HIIT can activate mitochondrial biogenesis and even double endurance capacity as compared with aerobic exercise of the same energy expenditure. The key is consistency, and finding what works best for your life.

how much blood does an average person have
|
<P> In an average healthy adult, the volume of blood is about one-eleventh of the body weight. Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters, although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. <P> Scientists estimate the volume of blood in a human body to be approximately 7 percent of body weight. An average adult body with a weight of 150 to 180 pounds will contain approximately 4.7 to 5.5 liters (1.2 to 1.5 gallons) of blood. An average child with a body weight of 80 pounds will have approximately half the amount of blood as an adult. <P> The total blood volume for an average 70 kg human (150 pounds) is approximately 5.5 liters (or a little more than 5 1/2 quarts, or a little more than 160 ounces)!!! For a person weighing approximately 150 pounds,the blood volume is on average about 5 litres or 8.8 pints. If the person is larger or smaller the blood volume would change accordingly. One litre of volume equals 1.76 pints. <P> The total blood volume for an average 70 kg human (150 pounds) is approximately 5.5 liters (or a little more than 5 1/2 quarts, or a little more than 160 ounces)!!!

There are varying opinions about what the perfect temperature to cook a roast beef but in my experience starting the beef in a very hot oven 425F/220C/Gas 7 for the first 30 mins then lower the temperature to 375F/190C/Gas5 for the remaining cooking time then .... <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> First, put the roast in a 450F preheated oven. Cook it, uncovered for 15 minutes at 450F. Then, without opening the oven door, turn the heat down to 325F. Now, cook the roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 135F. Letting the roast rest for 10-15 minutes, pulls the juices back into the roast and results in juicy tender meat. Use a nice long craving knife to slice up the roast. There are many different cuts of beef and the top sirloin roast is one of my favourites.

<P> Share. By Pierre Tristam. Definition: The arabica coffee bean is the Adam or Eve of all coffees, its origins dating back to about 1,000 BC in the highlands of the Kingdom of Kefa (present-day Ethiopia), where the Oromos tribe ate the bean, crushed it and mixed it with fat to make spheres the size of ping-pong balls. Commercially grown coffee bushes are pruned to a height of 1.5 to 2 meters. Coffee made from arabica beans has an intense, intricate aroma that can be reminiscent of flowers, fruit, honey, chocolate, caramel or toasted bread. <P> Marko Goodwin.

what act officially started the era prohibition
|
<P> Prohibition was mandated under the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Enabling legislation, known as the Volstead Act, set down the rules for enforcing the ban and defined the types of alcoholic beverages that were prohibited. For example, religious uses of wine were allowed. In 1930 the Prohibition Commissioner estimated that in 1919, the year before the Volstead Act became law, the average drinking American spent $17 per year on alcoholic beverages. By 1930, because enforcement diminished the supply, spending had increased to $35 per year (there was no inflation in this period). <P> When the Prohibition era in the United States began on January 19, 1920, a few sage observers predicted it would not go well. Certainly, previous attempts to outlaw the use of alcohol in American history had fared poorly. <P> Prohibition was a period of nearly fourteen years of U.S. history in which the manufacture, sale, and transportation of liquor was made illegal. It led to the first and only time an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was repealed. Dates: 1920 -- 1933. Also Known As: Noble Experiment. While it was the 18th Amendment that established Prohibition, it was the Volstead Act (passed on October 28, 1919) that clarified the law. The Volstead Act stated that beer, wine, or other intoxicating malt or vinous liquors meant any beverage that was more than 0.5% alcohol by volume. <P> A+E Networks. The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment and bringing an end to the era of national prohibition of alcohol in America. At 5:32 p.m. EST, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, achieving the requisite three-fourths majority of states’ approval. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified, ending national Prohibition. After the repeal of the 18th Amendment, some states continued Prohibition by maintaining statewide temperance laws. <P> Nationwide prohibition did not begin in the United States until January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect, and was repealed in 1933, with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment. Prohibition is the act of prohibiting the manufacturing, storage in barrels, bottles, transportation and sale of alcohol including alcoholic beverages. The term can also apply to periods in the histories of countries during which the prohibition of alcohol was enforced. <P> Answer: Prohibition officially began in the United States on January 16, 1920, a full year after the ratification of the 18th amendment. The 18th amendment prohibited the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol. Interestingly enough, it did not prohibit the consumption of alcohol. <P> Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages that remained in place from 1920 to 1933. In 1930 the Prohibition Commissioner estimated that in 1919, the year before the Volstead Act became law, the average drinking American spent $17 per year on alcoholic beverages. By 1930, because enforcement diminished the supply, spending had increased to $35 per year (there was no inflation in this period). <P> A LITTLE BACKGROUND. On January 17, 1920, national Prohibition officially began in the US. The Volstead Act had been voted in exactly one year before, and it prohibited the production, sale, and transport of intoxicating liquors. <P> The 18th Amendment was ratified by 36 of the 48 states on January 16, 1919. Prohibition officially began in January 1920. During prohibition, the amount of crime grew in many cities as the mafia developed a profitable, but oftentimes quite violent, black market for liquor.

how do you become a lefty or righty
|
<P> 1 Make sure that you want to commit to becoming left handed. 2 Only practice your left-hand writing at home. 3 When you are at school or work, write with your dominant or right hand, at least until you can write neatly and quickly with your left hand. 4 This will save you time and prevent your work from looking too messy. 1 Anything you usually do with your right hand start doing it with your left. 2 Keep writing the 'quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' because it uses every letter in the alphabet. 3 Use your right eye while using your left hand for writing. 4 Practice writing letters in the air. <P> Researcher Daniel Casasanto found right-handers were more likely to chose the Fribbles on the right as the more intelligent, happy, honest and attractive. Lefties went for the Fribbles on the left. Whether you’re a lefty or righty, chances are you never thought your dominant hand played a role in the decisions you make. “Righties are more likely compared to lefties to gesture with their right hand when they’re talking about good stuff and lefties to gesture with their left hand when they’re talking about good stuff,” he said. <P> Tips. 1 Make sure that you want to commit to becoming left handed. 2 Only practice your left-hand writing at home. 3 When you are at school or work, write with your dominant or right hand, at least until you can write neatly and quickly with your left hand. 4 This will save you time and prevent your work from looking too messy. 1 Anything you usually do with your right hand start doing it with your left. 2 Keep writing the 'quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' because it uses every letter in the alphabet. 3 Use your right eye while using your left hand for writing. 4 Practice writing letters in the air. <P> 1 Also, left handed people do things differently then right handed people. 2 For instance, lefties tilt their heads to the left. 3 Use your phone with your left hand only. 4 Practicing 15 min a day makes left hand stronger. 1 Anything you usually do with your right hand start doing it with your left. 2 Keep writing the 'quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' because it uses every letter in the alphabet. 3 Use your right eye while using your left hand for writing. 4 Practice writing letters in the air. <P> The lefty-righty switch can also be used against switch hitters who are noticeably poorer from one side of the plate than the other, or in the somewhat rarer instance of a batter who does poorly against opposite-handed pitchers. The basic principle in these cases remains the same. This especially holds true for left-handed pitchers, as lefties are less common in a major-league lineup than righties. As a result, the most common use of the lefty-righty switch is when a right-handed pitcher is facing a left-handed batter. <P> (December 2009). In baseball, the lefty-righty switch is a maneuver by which a player that struggles against left-or right-handed players is replaced by a player who excels in the situation, usually only for the duration of the situation in question. This especially holds true for left-handed pitchers, as lefties are less common in a major-league lineup than righties. As a result, the most common use of the lefty-righty switch is when a right-handed pitcher is facing a left-handed batter. <P> Being a righty or a lefty could be linked to variations in a network of genes that influence right or left asymmetries in the body and brain. Each gene has the potential for mutation–the more mutations a person has in any one direction (toward right handedness or left handedness) the more likely they are to use that hand as their dominant hand, or so the researchers speculate. <P> 1 If he is a lefty, show him that his left hand is the writing hand, and his right hand is the “helper” hand for positioning paper. 2 Or his left hand pours the milk, while right hold the cup. 3 Here are some more early signs that will help you determine if your child will be a righty or a lefty. 1 Here are some more early signs that will help you determine if your child will be a righty or a lefty. 2 And here are some additional great tips on how to raise a left-handed child that I’ve discovered in my recent research.

April 25 is a national holiday celebrating Liberation Day in Italy. Some services may be closed but there will be festivals and concerts in many places. Easter, Pasqua, often falls in April. <P> There are actually some jokes that have marked the history of this day in Italy. Here are some of them: - The most ancient joke in Italy is that of the announcement made by Buoncompagno from Florence in the XIII century when he promised to fly over the town of Bologna with a machine he invented on April 1st. The whole population gathered to see the flight, which actually never took place as it was a trick. <P> But no two celebrations are quite the same: (LIST: Best – and Worst – April Fools’ Day Pranks Ever). France – The holiday here is known as Poisson d’Avril, which translates to April Fish, and is also celebrated in Italy as Pesce d’Aprile. Traditionally, schoolchildren will tape a picture of a fish on the back of an unsuspecting classmate and wait for the transgression to be discovered. <P> Il pesce d'aprile, April Fools'day, is celebrated on April 1 st and it is a day during which Italians, too, have the custom of playing practical jokes on friends and relatives, following the ancient traditions of tricks played in far-off times. - The most ancient joke in Italy is that of the announcement made by Buoncompagno from Florence in the XIII century when he promised to fly over the town of Bologna with a machine he invented on April 1st. The whole population gathered to see the flight, which actually never took place as it was a trick. <P> The traditional pesce d'Aprile (April Fool's trick) in Italy consists of a youngster surreptitiously attaching-with the help of tape or glue-a paper cutout of a pesciolino (small fish) to the rear shoulders of a school companion. Elsewhere on the Web. Mappe degli Scherzi Pesce d'Aprile Proverbi 1 Aprile. In Italy, as in much of the world, April 1st is traditionally a day of practical jokes, pranks, and silliness.

The whole population gathered to see the flight, which actually never took place as it was a trick. <P> While the poisson d’Avril may have originated in France, it is certainly not the only country where April Fools’ Day is celebrated with paper fish. In fact, Italy’s Version of April Fools’ Day is very similar to the French one (and was probably adopted from their neighbors to the north). Cartoon from Toonpool.com. Today in France, those who are fooled on April 1 are called the “Poisson d’Avril” (the April Fish). A common prank (especially among school-aged children) is to place a paper fish on the back of an unsuspecting person. <P> In Italy, France, Belgium, and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, 1 April tradition is often known as April fish (poissons d'avril in French or pesce d'aprile in Italian).

how much weight should newborn kitten be having
|
<P> According to the ASPCA, kittens typically weigh approximately 3.5 ounces right at birth. However, this weight may vary depending on a few different factors, namely the number of kittens in the litter and the specific breed type. <P> The weight of a newborn kitten varies based on his breed and the number of littermates he has, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. After birth, a healthy kitten should gain weight daily; if yours is not, you should take him to the vet. <P> The daily intake of food is based on the kitten's energy requirement. Caloric requirements for the newborn kitten are approximately 420 kilocalories per kilogram at birth, and by five to six weeks of age it needs only 240 to 275 kilocalories per kilogram. (A kilogram is 1000 grams, or 2.2 pounds. <P> A kitten's weight should double within the first 14 days of life. Kittens should be weighed daily or every other day for the first two weeks of life and then 2-3 times a week until weaning. Failure of weight gain is often the first sign of illness in kittens. The kittens will begin to imitate the queen eating and drinking around 3-4 weeks of age. <P> Kittens should be weighed at birth on a gram scale (newborns usually weigh between 90 and 110 grams [3.15 and 3.85 ounces), and then on a daily basis for the first two weeks. When properly fed, they will usually double their weight within the first week. <P> An average birth weight for kittens is about 3 ½ ounces, depending on breed and litter size. During the first weeks of life, a kitten’s body weight may double or even triple. Gaining ¼ to half an ounce daily until they are weaned is considered healthy. <P> Breed type may affect a newborn kitten's birth weight. The image of a newborn kitten is a sweet one indeed. Just one glance at a tiny and fluffy feline ball of joy may be able to soften even the hardest of hearts, even just for a second. At birth, wee kittens don't usually even weigh in at 4 ounces.

what type of pollutant is formaldehyde
|
<P> Signs and symptoms of exposure. Exposure to formaldehyde in the air can irritate the eyes, nose and throat. It can also cause symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. Since there can be other causes for at least some of these symptoms and signs, you may first want to speak with your doctor before taking further steps. <P> As a gas, formaldehyde is colorless and has a characteristic pungent, irritating odor. Upon condensation, the gas converts to various other forms of formaldehyde (with different chemical formulas) that are of more practical value. Formaldehyde is a naturally-occurring organic compound with the formula CH 2 O. It is the simplest aldehyde and is also known by its systematic name methanal. The common name of this substance comes from its similarity and relation to formic acid <P> As discussed above, formaldehyde can induce several symptoms, such as watery eyes, runny nose, burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat, and headaches. These symptoms may also occur because of the common cold, the flu, or other pollutants that may be present in the indoor air. Formaldehyde exposure can cause a variety of symptoms and potential adverse health effects. A. person’s ability to smell a chemical odor, such as formaldehyde, does not always mean that the. levels of the chemical are of concern or will cause an adverse health effect. <P> Formaldehyde is an important precursor to many other materials and chemical compounds. In 1996, the installed capacity for the production of formaldehyde was estimated to be 8.7 million tons per year. It is mainly used in the product of industrial resins, e.g., for particle board and coatings. Formaldehyde is a naturally-occurring organic compound with the formula CH 2 O. It is the simplest aldehyde and is also known by its systematic name methanal. The common name of this substance comes from its similarity and relation to formic acid <P> Combustion Gases. Formaldehyde. Characteristics. Formaldehyde is an organic chemical that is very prevalent in our environment. It has colorless gas with a pungent odor from a family of gases called aldehydes. Airborne concentrations of formaldehyde above 0.1ppm can cause irritation of the respiratory tract (2). Sources. Sources of formaldehyde in the home include building and insulating materials, smoking, household products, and the use of un-vented, fuel-burning appliances, like gas stoves or kerosene space heaters. <P> Exposure to formaldehyde has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory test animals. Exposure to relatively high amounts of formaldehyde in medical and occupational settings has been linked to some types of cancer in humans, but the effect of exposure to small amounts is less clear. It can also be used as a preservative in some foods and in products, such as antiseptics, medicines, and cosmetics. Sometimes, although formaldehyde is not used, substances that release formaldehyde are. These have been found in cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, lotions and sunscreens, and cleaning products <P> Formaldehyde is a colourless gas that is emitted mainly from household products and building materials. Low levels of formaldehyde in indoor air are actually very common. When found at high levels in air, it can be detected by a sharp smell. High concentrations of formaldehyde can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat and can worsen asthma symptoms in children and infants. <P> Formaldehyde can be toxic, allergenic, and carcinogenic. Because formaldehyde resins are used in many construction materials it is one of the more common indoor air pollutants. At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, resulting in watery eyes. Formaldehyde is a naturally-occurring organic compound with the formula CH 2 O. It is the simplest aldehyde and is also known by its systematic name methanal.

what does dominant hemisphere mean
|
<P> The basic concept behind hemispheric dominance is that most people tend to naturally be more strongly left-brained or right-brained. Much like most people have a dominant hand, eye, and foot, most people also have a dominant hemisphere of the brain. Hemispheric dominance refers to which side of the brain is dominant in a person, and this often reflects how a person thinks and learns best. <P> Cerebral Dominance. Each hemisphere of the brain is dominant for other behaviors. For example, it appears that the right brain is dominant for spatial abilities, face recognition, visual imagery and music. The left brain may be more dominant for calculations, math and logical abilities. Are you right-handed or left-handed? As you probably know, most people (about 90% of the population) are right-handed-they prefer to use their right hand to write, eat and throw a ball. Another way to refer to people who use their right hand is to say that they are dominant. <P> Left-brain dominant people are more likely to be clinical and cold in their judgments and problem solving. Language recognition is a function of the left hemisphere, too, and that makes languages easier for those with left-brain dominance. <P> Most theories suggest that right-brain dominant people are guided by the more emotional, intuitive right hemisphere while left-brain people respond in sequential, logical ways, guided by the left hemisphere. To a great degree, your personality is shaped by your brain type. Your dominant brain type has a very significant affect on your study skills, homework habits, and grades. For instance, some students may struggle with specific assignment types or test questions, based on their specific brain types. <P> right brain; right hemisphere (the cerebral hemisphere to the right of the corpus callosum that controls the left half of the body). Holonyms (hemisphere is a part of...): cerebrum (anterior portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans). neural structure (a structure that is part of the nervous system). Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of hemisphere): left brain; left hemisphere (the cerebral hemisphere to the left of the corpus callosum that controls the righ <P> Hemispheric dominance refers to the way in which the two major sides of the brain function and how the processes and thoughts of a person are typically guided by each side. The human brain is, essentially, separated into two major sections referred to as the right brain and left brain. Hemispheric dominance refers to which side of the brain is dominant in a person, and this often reflects how a person thinks and learns best. <P> The control of speech and handedness by one hemisphere of the brain. In 90% to 95% of human beings, the left cerebral hemisphere is functionally dominant; as a result most people are right-handed. A lesion (such as a stroke or tumor) to the left cerebral hemisphere of such people will produce aphasia and right-sided paralysis. <P> Answer by SapphireMoon. Confidence votes 12.2K. One side (hemisphere) of the brain--right or left--tends to dominate. A person who is left-hemisphere-dominant tends to be a more logical, linear thinker and more verbally oriented. A person who is right-hemisphere-dominant tends to think more in whole concepts and is more attuned to images and visual thinking. <P> dominant hemisphere. n.

maximum amount for ach transfer
|
<P> According to oldguysrule the ACH transfer limit of $1,500 was a problem among others he was experiencing with the bank. He states, “To be told they ALLOWED me have access to half my money as a COURTESY is indescribable.”. That said, I closed my account and transferred over to American Express due to the strict limitations on electronic funds transfers out of the account. It turns out the $2,000 a month limit could increase to $5,000 a month after you build credibility but there is not a specified time period. <P> ACH Transfer Limits Pose a Problem for Consumers. Every bank has different rules and regulations to how transfers work. Rodney found that although UFBDirect had an excellent savings account the $2,000 a month limit was putting a damper on his uses for the account. That said, I closed my account and transferred over to American Express due to the strict limitations on electronic funds transfers out of the account. It turns out the $2,000 a month limit could increase to $5,000 a month after you build credibility but there is not a specified time period. <P> Other banks and credit unions have small transfer limits. Incredible Bank is a little better with its limits, but they're still low especially for outbound transfers. According to Incredible Bank's FAQs, there's a maximum of $10,000 ACH transferred out per day and a maximum of $50,000 ACH in per day.. At least Incredible Bank publishes their limits. The limits that I see when I'm logged in are $150,000 per day and $600,000 per month. I wouldn't label EverBank's limits as large, but they aren't small. When I reported on EverBank's new bonus rates, I learned that its online ACH transfers are limited to $50,000 per day and $200,000 per month. <P> Rating: 10.00 out of 10 (1 Rating). The maximum daily transfer amount is dependent on the type of account you have. The account must be in good standing to perform transfers. If you are a new member with an account less than 60 days old, your daily transfer limit is $1,000.00. If you are a member with an account more than 60 days old, your daily transfer limit is $5,000.00. If you are a member with a business account, your daily transfer limit is $10,000.00. A valid email address is required for ACH <P> This limit is lifted to $15,000 per day and $45,000 per month after the initial 90 day period. Another bank that has an equally high limit is Ally bank which has a $250,000 monthly limit on inbound transfers and a $150,000 limit on outbound transfers. That said, I closed my account and transferred over to American Express due to the strict limitations on electronic funds transfers out of the account. It turns out the $2,000 a month limit could increase to $5,000 a month after you build credibility but there is not a specified time period. <P> Transfer limits can vary dramatically. Below is a sample of online ACH withdrawal limits for savings accounts at a few of the more popular banks: 1 Ally Bank – Online Savings - $100,000/transaction, no daily or monthly limits. 2 Bank of America – Regular Savings - $3,000/day, $6,000/month. 3 Citibank – Ultimate Savings - $2,000/day, $10,000/month <P> A – Yes, you are limited both on a daily basis or a weekly basis as follows Daily: 3 maximum for a maximum amount of $1,000.00 Weekly: 5 maximum transactions for a maximum amount of $1,000.00. Q – Can I cancel an ACH transaction? A – As long as the transaction is not in process, you may cancel it. A – You will incur a $25.00 fee from ACH plus an NSF fees from the financial institution that was the source. If the source was Suncoast, then the fee would be an additional $25.00 NSF fee. Q – OK. <P> A reader recently posted in the forum about his disappointment with UFB Direct and its small ACH transfer limit. He learned from the bank's CSR that the external transfer limits are $2,000 daily and $5,000 monthly. The limits that I see when I'm logged in are $150,000 per day and $600,000 per month. I wouldn't label EverBank's limits as large, but they aren't small. When I reported on EverBank's new bonus rates, I learned that its online ACH transfers are limited to $50,000 per day and $200,000 per month. <P> I wouldn't label EverBank 's limits as large, but they aren't small. When I reported on EverBank's new bonus rates, I learned that its online ACH transfers are limited to $50,000 per day and $200,000 per month. Some new internet banks have no transfer limits (at least based on what I was told by the bank CSRs). The limits that I see when I'm logged in are $150,000 per day and $600,000 per month.

At $27.50 for a swap the propane would cost $3.23 per litre or about $2.50 more than the bowser price. But to offset this you get a cylinder with a current date stamp and the convenience. I think that is the same for 9 kg bottles (AND TO BUY NEW ARE ONLY $50 OR SO). It only costs about $10 to fill a 8.5kg gas bottle the swap and go price i paid was $34 Where is the $24 going sure some profit for service and some testing fees. <P> I am moving & the removalist won't take my gas bottle. SWAP'n'GO offers a mover’s transfer service, with which you can to take your BBQ gas bottle to your nearest Elgas branch and reclaim another one at the Elgas branch nearest to your destination. So, you can rest assured that the bottle you buy from SWAP'n'GO is safely filled. SWAP’n’GO also performs two leak checks on each cylinder before it is delivered to your local dealer. We always check the inspection date on every cylinder we fill and only those with valid dates are filled. <P> A new (unfilled) gas bottle is around $40-$50, Swap n' Go is $39.95 (filled) at my local servo. My two gas bottles are out of date in the new year, cost/hassle of getting retested, plus they have lost some of their paint over the years and have small rusty bits (surface only) starting to show through the paint. It's easier/cheaper to swap them over before they run out. Once they are renewed, I'll go back to getting them filled at the hardware/gas depot for the next ten years at a saving of at least $15 per fill (compared to swap n go).

what helps runny nose from allergies
|
<P> You’ll want a decongestant, like pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine. A decongestant will help reduce nasal tissue swelling. If you’re dealing with allergies or a runny nose, you should look for an antihistamine, like diphenhydramine for nighttime use or non-drowsy fexofenadine. Products containing pseudoephedrine can be found behind your pharmacist’s counter. Rhinitis just means that the mucus membranes inside your nose are inflamed. Your runny nose could be caused by an infection (like a cold or the flu) or by cold weather, allergies, crying, irritating smells, or particles in the air. Before your nose started running, bacteria, allergens or a virus attacked and irritated your nose’s lining, which triggered an inflammatory reaction <P> A viral infection (the common cold) is the most common cause of a stuffy and/or runny nose, but allergies, influenza, and sinus infections also may cause these symptoms. Less commonly, anatomical obstructions (e.g. a deviated nasal septum, foreign bodies) may lead to nasal congestion. <P> Allergies to pollen, spores, mold, and dust (also called hay fever or allergic rhinitis) affect the respiratory system and are usually the most difficult to control. Symptoms of hay fever are sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy eyes and nose, and headache. Hay fever is often seasonal (when pollen is in the air), but if constantly exposed to an offending substance (e.g., pet dander), symptoms can last year-round. <P> If you are allergic to any of these allergens, you’ve probably developed a runny nose. It can be a pain or just plain painful. With care, you can combat your runny nose, dry out your histamine swollen mucus membranes, and return your nose to normal. Once, you've dealt with your runny nose, you can then take steps to guard yourself from allergies in the future. Ad. Sometimes, they come back inconclusive or will indicate several allergies. The more information you can gather about your allergy, the better. Once you have a general idea of what causes your runny nose, you can start avoiding exposure to those allergens. 2. Avoid triggers. Environmental irritants and allergens like pollen, pet dander and hair, dust, and cigarette smoke can all dry out nasal passages and start the runny nose cycle <P> Coughing also helps clear your airways of mucus produced due to a cold, allergies, or other diseases, such as the flu. Cold and allergies have many similar symptoms, such as coughing, runny nose, and sneezing. If you have asthma, both conditions can also cause wheezing and shortness of breath. However, colds and allergies are different conditions with distinct causes. Allergies: <P> Runny nose (rhinorrhea) is a common symptom of allergy, infection, inflammation, or even physical irritation. Runny nose results from discharge secreted by the mucous membranes lining the inside of your nose. It may occur in conditions affecting the nose itself or along with more generalized conditions, such a common cold or hay fever. Inflammation of the nose (rhinitis) is a common cause of runny nose. Other common causes include the common cold (viral respiratory infection), influenza (flu), and sinusitis (inflammation or infection of the sinuses). Inserting objects into your nose can also produce a runny nose <P> Runny nose (rhinorrhea) is a common symptom of heavy nasal discharges. This symptom can be super heavy in some people. It can be caused by an allergy, infection (e.g., cold or flu), inflammation, or physical irritation. Inflammation of the nose (called rhinitis) is a common cause of the runny nose. Other common causes include the common cold (upper respiratory infection), influenza (flu), and sinusitis (inflammation or infection of the sinuses). The running nose may be accompanied by redness, itching and/or sneezing. If your runny nose is caused by allergic reactions, you need to identify and avoid them. For example, you can test your body reactions to dairy products, if you temporary eliminate all dairy products from your diet (e.g., for 3-4 days). <P> As the name suggests, antihistamines prevent the body from producing histamines, which cause your nose to run. Antihistamines dry out the mucus membranes in your nasal passages. You can try over-the-counter antihistamines that contain agents such as loratadine or diphenhydramine. Sometimes, they come back inconclusive or will indicate several allergies. The more information you can gather about your allergy, the better. Once you have a general idea of what causes your runny nose, you can start avoiding exposure to those allergens. 2. Avoid triggers. Environmental irritants and allergens like pollen, pet dander and hair, dust, and cigarette smoke can all dry out nasal passages and start the runny nose cycl

who starred in my fair lady on broadway
|
<P> Julie Andrews starred as flower girl Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway premiere of My Fair Lady. When a Broadway musical feels as effortlessly right as Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's did to audiences in 1956, it's easy to imagine that it simply sprang to life that way. <P> My Fair Lady was last seen on Broadway in 1993, starring Melissa Errico and Richard Chamberlain. Cameron Mackintosh is currently planning a My Fair Lady film adaptation, and both Carey Mulligan and Hathaway have been rumored to be starring as the Cockney flower girl. <P> View photo. Stage and screen icon Julie Andrews will direct a 60th anniversary production of My Fair Lady at the Sydney Opera House, a show she first starred in on Broadway in 1956 (AFP Photo/David Buchan). <P> The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady. The original Broadway, London and film versions all starred Rex Harrison. <P> Directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, the new Broadway revival will be produced by music mogul Clive Davis. Featuring music by Frederick Loewe and a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, My Fair Lady premiered on Broadway March 15, 1956, starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. <P> The original Broadway production had a cast of 48 performers, including chorus. Some doubling was employed in the minor parts. MY FAIR LADY played for 2,717 performances on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger, Broadhurst and Broadway Theatres starring Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Stanley Holloway and Robert Coote. <P> Next to Normal ». My Fair Lady features music by Frederick Loewe along with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and is based on the play ‘Pygmalion’ by George Bernard Shaw. <P> First, a little history: The 1964 Audrey Hepburn movie version of My Fair Lady is based on the Broadway musical (starring Julie Andrews) with songs written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

what is ingroup bias
|
<P> One of the results of this process is the forming of an in-group and out-group bias. These terms are very self-explanatory. A person becomes more favorably inclined towards the members of his or her own group (in-group bias) and treats the members of other groups less favorably (out-group bias). <P> The outgroup homogeneity bias or out-group homogeneity effect is one's perception of out-group members as more similar to one another than are in-group members, e.g. they are alike; we are diverse. <P> Ingroup bias, sometimes known as in-group favoritism, in-group–out-group bias or intergroup bias, refers to a pattern of favoring members of one’s in-group over out-group members. This can be expressed in evaluation of others, allocation of resources and many other ways. <P> People will put themselves into the in-group and all other people are in the out-group.. This leads in-group members to favor their group over the out-group and is called in-group, out-group bias (Devine, 1996). Sports fans of any kind favor their teams fans over the other teams fans. The fans of the opposing team are not seen as friends or equals, they are the enemy. <P> The tendency of people to favor their own group, known as ingroup bias, has been found in cultures around the world (Aberson, Healy, & Romero, 2000; Brewer, 1979, 1999). One of the most startling aspects of ingroup bias is how easily it is triggered. <P> It is this ingroup favoritism, or ingroup bias, that it is popularly known as, that forms the basis of discrimination. If one believes that a person belongs to the same group as he is, he will have positive views of him, and thus, will give him preferential treatment; but obviously, at the cost of others. Ingroup Bias Examples. When it comes to ingroup bias or ingroup favoritism, people from one's own group are viewed positively and given better treatment, thus resulting in discrimination against people who are not a part of that group. <P> (February 2015). In-group favoritism, sometimes known as in-group–out-group bias, in-group bias, or intergroup bias, refers to a pattern of favoring members of one's in-group over out-group members. This can be expressed in evaluation of others, in allocation of resources, and in many other ways. Social identity theory argues that one of the key determinants of group biases is the need to improve self-esteem. The desire to view one's self positively is transferred onto the group, creating a tendency to view one's own group in a positive light, and by comparison, outside groups in a negative light. <P> ― Marilynn Brewer. By definition, ingroup bias, or in-group bias, refers to a preference for one's ingroup, i.e., a social group with which the person readily associates himself, over the outgroup, i.e., a social group with which the person does not identify. Simply put, it refers to favoritism toward one's own group. Ingroup Bias Examples. When it comes to ingroup bias or ingroup favoritism, people from one's own group are viewed positively and given better treatment, thus resulting in discrimination against people who are not a part of that group. <P> Several factors go into ingroup bias. The first is the group attribution error, in which members of the group credit successes to their personalities, and failures to situational factors. Studies on ingroup bias have shown that smaller groups tend to exhibit stronger ingroup bias, perhaps in an attempt to protect themselves from outsiders.

<P> artificial organ. Any tissue, organ, limb, or highly complex biological structure that is partially or completely synthetic in nature, and performs the tasks of the structure it is intended to replace. See also prosthesis. artificial milk. see milk replacer. artificial organ. a mechanical device that can substitute temporarily or permanently for a body organ. Not usually used in veterinary medicine. artificial parturition induction. see <P> The pancreas is an organ in the body that secretes several hormones, including insulin and glucagon, as well as digestive enzymes that help break down food. A blood glucose device (such as a glucose meter) is used to calibrate the CGM. A computer-controlled algorithm connects the CGM and insulin infusion pump to allow continuous communication between the two devices. <P> FDA’s Efforts to Advance Artificial Pancreas Device Systems and the Challenges Ahead. The FDA is helping advance the development of an artificial pancreas device system (APDS)—an innovative device that automatically monitors blood glucose and provides appropriate insulin doses in people with diabetes who use insulin. <P> An implanted pump in the (groin) or (scrotum) can be manipulated by hand to fill these artificial cylinders, normally sized to be direct replacements for the natural corpora cavernosa, from an implanted reservoir in order to achieve an erection. It is also possible to construct and install an artificial organ to give its possessor abilities which are not naturally occurring. Research is proceeding, particularly in areas of vision, memory, and information processing, however this idea is still in its infancy. <P> Artificial Organs. There is a critical shortage of donor organs of all types. Artificial organs that perform the function of natural organs can help alleviate this problem as well as sustain patients with organ failure as they await donor organs. In some cases, artificial organs can eliminate the need for transplantation altogether <P> The biomaterials, scaffolds, artificial organs, and differentiating cells that are combined to create a tissue engineering product address significant medical needs, such as major tissue and organ damage or failure. Tissue and organ failure, produced as a result of injury or other type of damage, is a major health problem, accounting for about half of the total annual expenditure in health care in the US. <P> Living layers: Harvard researchers demonstrate their method for creating vascularized tissue constructs by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zig-zag pattern. In what may be a critical breakthrough for creating artificial organs, Harvard researchers say they have created tissue interlaced with blood vessels. Artificial Organs May Finally Get a Blood Supply. Artificial tissue has always lacked a key ingredient: blood vessels. A new 3-D printing technique seems poised to change that. 1 By Susan Young Rojahn on March 6, 2014. <P> One solution for the shortage of transplantable organs is creating artificial ones that last. Already, researchers are developing bioartificial organs that can keep patients with serious organ failure alive and functioning for years. Im sorry to hear that you need surgery, but the truth is that, synthetic organs are a bad thing. and thats what we wanna see on lifetime, not some crap about casey anthony or zimmerman being as gangster as the next gangster, its old news. http://quality.e-patches.ca/memorial/. Morons, the lot of you. <P> Growing artificial organs has long been a dream of scientists. If possible, the organs could revolutionize the way we treat people who need transplants. Now, researchers may be one step closer to realizing that dream.

where are your ligaments found in your knee
|
<P> The knee joint is at the juncture of the femur (your thighbone) and the tibia (the lower leg or shin bone). The femur is attached to the tibia by ligaments.The patella (your kneecap) is at the front of the knee joint. The joint consists of three “compartments” or sections: 1 Medial Compartment (inner half of your knee). 2 Lateral compartment (outer half of your knee). 3 Patellofermoral compartment (behind the knee cap). <P> Picture of the Knee. © 2014 WebMD, LLC. All rights reserved. The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. The knee joins the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). The smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia (fibula) and the kneecap (patella) are the other bones that make the knee joint. Ligaments join the knee bones and provide stability to the knee: 1 The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding backward on the tibia (or the tibia sliding forward on the femur). <P> In anatomy, a ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones and is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, fibrous ligament, or true ligament. Ligament can also refer to: 1 Peritoneal ligament: a fold of peritoneum or other membranes. <P> Collateral Ligaments. These are found on the sides of your knee. The medial collateral ligament is on the inside and the lateral collateral ligament is on the outside. They control the sideways motion of your knee and brace it against unusual movement. It is also vital to movement. Your knee ligaments connect your thighbone to your lower leg bones. Knee ligament sprains or tears are a common sports injury. In the past, injuring more than one knee ligament would put an end to future sports activities. <P> If you have injured one or more of the ligaments in your knee, the symptoms are likely to be similar regardless of the ligament that is injured. The severity of the symptoms depends on the degree of the injury to the ligament. <P> Tendons connect the knee bones to the leg muscles that move the knee joint. Ligaments join the knee bones and provide stability to the knee: 1 The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding backward on the tibia (or the tibia sliding forward on the femur). <P> Cruciate Ligaments. These are found inside your knee joint. They cross each other to form an X with the anterior cruciate ligament in front and the posterior cruciate ligament in back. The cruciate ligaments control the back and forth motion of your knee. It is also vital to movement. Your knee ligaments connect your thighbone to your lower leg bones. Knee ligament sprains or tears are a common sports injury. In the past, injuring more than one knee ligament would put an end to future sports activities. <P> These injuries are common in soccer players, football players, basketball players, skiers, gymnasts, and other athletes. There are four ligaments in the knee that are prone to injury: 1 Mentioned above, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two major ligaments in the knee. Too much stress on these ligaments can cause them to stretch too far -- or even snap. ACL injury and other ligament injuries can be caused by: 1 Twisting your knee with the foot planted. 2 Getting hit o <P> Collateral Ligaments. These are found on the sides of your knee.

what other forms are there of mermaids
|
<P> ~ Captain Ahab on Mermaid Wenches. Mermaids are super-cool species that is half-fish, half-woman. Males, which are much rarer, are called mermen. They are commonly seen in the sea or, more and more frequently, in fresh water lakes. Some people believe there are two types of mermaid-those with the top half of a woman and the bottom half of a fish, and those with the top half of a fish and the bottom half of a woman. But science has shown the alternate type to be biologically impossible. <P> Similar creatures live in lakes and rivers. In Slavic mythology there are the Rusalki, the spirits of young women who have met their fate through drowning. They appear in the form of beautiful fish-women or mermaids. They have lovely hair, fine features but sad fathomless eyes which tell their tragic tale. All sea-faring cultures have mermaid tales. In the Breton ballads there are the 'Morgan', sea-women, and 'Morverch', sea-daughters; in Ireland and Scotland there are 'Merrow'. The Aegean Sea, it seems, was full of such creatures. <P> A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first known mermaid stories appeared in Assyria c. 1000 BC. The goddess Atargatis, mother of Assyrian queen Semiramis, loved a mortal (a shepherd) and unintentionally killed him. Ashamed, she jumped into a lake and took the form of a fish, but the waters would not conceal her divine beauty. <P> The earliest known mermaid legends come from Syria around 1000 B.C. where the Syrian goddess Atargatis dove into a lake to take the form of a fish, but the powers there would not allow her give up her great beauty, so only her bottom half became a fish and she kept her top half in human form. Later tales in the mythology of mermaids stem from Homer's epic The Odyssey, where some mythologists believe the Sirens to have been in mermaid form. This was an extremely popular version of the mermaid throughout history. <P> edit Related species. Some people believe there are two types of mermaid-those with the top half of a woman and the bottom half of a fish, and those with the top half of a fish and the bottom half of a woman. But science has shown the alternate type to be biologically impossible. <P> :: MERMAID HISTORY :: Mermaids-History of Mermaids Mermaids have long fascinated humans, right from the days of Hans Christian Anderson’s novel, The Little Mermaid, to the children of today that read about Mermaids and Mermen in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. The fascination of humans with these peculiar creatures is not restricted to the West. <P> In ancient Syrian (~ 1000 BC), there was a goddess who went by the name of Atargatis. She was a fertility goddess whose cult eventually spread to Greece and Rome and was associated with water (especially lakes) and fish. Often depicted in mermaid form, Atargatis is perhaps the “original” mermaid. <P> No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Statue of a sailor mermaid from Portsmouth, Virginia. Mermaids-those half-human, half-fish sirens of the sea — are legendary sea creatures chronicled in maritime cultures since time immemorial. The ancient Greek epic poet Homer wrote of them in The Odyssey <P> Mermen are mythical male equivalents and counterparts of mermaids – legendary creatures who have the form of a male human from the waist up and are fish-like from the waist down, having scaly fish tails in place of legs. A merboy is a young merman. <P> Mermaids have been a popular subject of art and literature in recent centuries, such as in Hans Christian Andersen 's well-known fairy tale . The Little Mermaid (1836). They have subsequently been depicted in operas, paintings, books, films and comics. The first known mermaid stories appeared in Assyria c. 1000 BC.

can roth ira be passed on after death
|
<P> Imagine having an account that grows tax-free during your lifetime and pays you tax-free amounts on a yearly basis! That is what a Roth IRA can be to your heirs, such as your children and grandchildren. This after-death tax-free growth is sometimes referred to as the stretchout IRA concept. The answer is that if you have a Traditional IRA or if you are considering converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you will still need to be concerned about the Required Minimum Distributions rules. <P> In contrast to a traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Withdrawals are generally tax-free, but not always and not without certain stipulations (i.e., tax-free for principal withdrawals and the owner's age must be at least 59½ for tax-free withdrawals on the growth portion above principal). 1 In 2008, one cannot contribute $6667 to a traditional IRA due to the contribution limit, so the post-tax Roth contribution may be larger. 2 On estates large enough to be subject to estate taxes, a Roth IRA can reduce estate taxes since tax dollars have already been subtracted. <P> Example: You inherit a Roth IRA that was established two years earlier. The Roth IRA includes $96,000 from a rollover contribution and $4,000 of earnings. You can immediately withdraw the entire $100,000 and pay tax (but no penalty) on the $4,000 of earnings. One rule that does not change is the requirement for the Roth IRA to exist at least five years before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free. To be more precise, earnings can be withdrawn tax-free beginning on the first day of the fifth taxable year after the year the Roth IRA was established. That means January 1, 2018 for Roth IRAs established in 2013, for example <P> If you own a Roth IRA at death and it passes to someone other than your spouse, it will be included in your taxable estate. There is one way Roth IRAs provide an estate tax benefit. Roth IRAs contain after-tax dollars. That means the size of your estate has been reduced by the amount of tax you paid on those dollars. One rule that does not change is the requirement for the Roth IRA to exist at least five years before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free. To be more precise, earnings can be withdrawn tax-free beginning on the first day of the fifth taxable year after the year the Roth IRA was established. That means January 1, 2018 for Roth IRAs established in 2013, for example <P> One of the greatest benefits of a Roth IRA, especially when compared to other investment assets such as a Traditional IRA or 401k retirement plan, is that a Roth IRA can be passed on to an heir when you die. <P> And while estate taxes may have to be paid on the value of the Roth IRA upon your death, no part of the Roth IRA will be subject to income tax to your beneficiaries. This is completely different from a traditional IRA. The value of a traditional IRA will be included in your estate. But the traditional IRA earnings will also be taxed as income to your beneficiaries. This could cause a very large combined estate/income tax to be assessed against your traditional IRA. A Roth IRA can eliminate much of this tax burden because Roth earnings are not subject to income tax, either to you or to your heirs. <P> As with a traditional IRA, if your spouse is your Roth IRA beneficiary, and you happen to go to the great beyond, your spouse can treat your Roth IRA as her own. She can keep the Roth IRA intact. But the traditional IRA earnings will also be taxed as income to your beneficiaries. This could cause a very large combined estate/income tax to be assessed against your traditional IRA. A Roth IRA can eliminate much of this tax burden because Roth earnings are not subject to income tax, either to you or to your heirs. <P> If you decide to have a non-spouse as your Roth IRA beneficiary, your rules will be a little different. When the beneficiary is not a spouse, that beneficiary must take the Roth IRA distributions: 1 By the end of the year containing the fifth anniversary of the account owner's death; or. But the traditional IRA earnings will also be taxed as income to your beneficiaries. This could cause a very large combined estate/income tax to be assessed against your traditional IRA. A Roth IRA can eliminate much of this tax burden because Roth earnings are not subject to income tax, either to you or to your heirs. <P> 1 Assets in the Roth IRA can be passed on to heirs. 2 The Roth IRA does not require distributions based on age. 3 All other tax-deferred retirement plans, including the related Roth 401(k) , require withdrawals to begin by April 1 of the calendar year after the owner reaches age 70½. 1 In 2008, one cannot contribute $6667 to a traditional IRA due to the contribution limit, so the post-tax Roth contribution may be larger. 2 On estates large enough to be subject to estate taxes, a Roth IRA can reduce estate taxes since tax dollars have already been subtracted.

A solid with flat faces (from Greek poly-meaning many and-edron meaning face). Example: pyramids and prisms Each flat surface (or face) is a polygon. See: Polygon. <P> In elementary geometry, a polyhedron (plural polyhedra or polyhedrons) is a solid in three dimensions with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices. The word polyhedron comes from the Classical Greek πολύεδρον, as poly- (stem of πολύς, many) + -hedron (form of ἕδρα, base or seat). Polyhedra with congruent regular faces of six or more sides are all non-convex, because the vertex of three regular hexagons defines a plane. The total number of convex polyhedra with equal regular faces is thus ten, comprising the five Platonic solids and the five non-uniform deltahedra. <P> A polyhedron is said to be convex if its surface (comprising its faces, edges and vertices) does not intersect itself and the line segment joining any two points of the polyhedron is contained in the interior or surface. A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions.

The total number of convex polyhedra with equal regular faces is thus ten, comprising the five Platonic solids and the five non-uniform deltahedra. <P> The word polyhedron has slightly different meanings in geometry and algebraic geometry. In geometry, a polyhedron is simply a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges. The word derives from the Greek poly (many) plus the Indo-European hedron (seat). The term polyhedron is used somewhat differently in algebraic topology, where it is defined as a space that can be built from such building blocks as line segments, triangles, tetrahedra, and their higher dimensional analogs by gluing them together along their faces (Munkres 1993, p. 2). <P> A polyhedron (plural polyhedra or polyhedrons) is often defined as a geometric object with flat faces and straight edges (the word polyhedron comes from the Classical Greek πολύεδρον, from poly- , stem of πολύς, many, + -edron, form of εδρον, base, seat, or face).

<P> Available today in a paste or impregnated into wadding, Brasso is used to clean a variety of metals and in particular brass. An alternative to purchasing Brasso is to make a homemade version of the cleaner with common kitchen ingredients. <P> Brass is a common useful metal. Here's a look at what brass is made of and information about its chemistry. Answer: Brass is an alloy made primarily of copper and zinc. The proportions of the copper and zinc are varied to yield many different kinds of brass. Basic modern brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. Lead commonly is added to brass at a concentration of around 2%. <P> Brasso is a metal polish that originated in the early 1900s. Available today in a paste or impregnated into wadding, Brasso is used to clean a variety of metals and in particular brass. An alternative to purchasing Brasso is to make a homemade version of the cleaner with common kitchen ingredients. <P> Initially the fabric used for brasso was mostly cotton, but with the passage of time this technique was also applied to other fabrics. The Making of Brasso. Brasso is generally made out of an acid itch process which involves the burning of fabric in order to create a more textured design. <P> Brasso is a metal polish designed to remove tarnish from brass, copper, chrome and stainless steel. It is available either directly as a liquid or as an impregnated wadding pad.

what does borer beetle look like
|
<P> The emerald ash borer is a metallic green beetle that bores into ash trees feeding on tissues beneath the bark, ultimately killing the tree. It is not native to the United States and was first found in the U.S. near Detroit, Michigan in 2002. Emerald ash borer attacks all species of ash native to the United States as well as native white fringetree. The four species of ash native to North Carolina include white ash, green ash, Carolina ash, and pumpkin ash. <P> Female beetles deposit them in bark crevices and as larvae hatch from the egg, they immediately chew their way into the tree. Larva (immature EAB). Emerald ash borer larvae are white and slightly flattened, with a pair of brown pincher-like appendages on the last segment. The pupae, like the larvae, cannot be seen unless bark is pulled away from the tree. EAB Look-Alikes. There are many metallic green insects that are common in Wisconsin and often mistaken for EAB. For more information on these look-alikes please visit the University of Wisconsin-Madison's emerald ash borer webpage. <P> Adult (beetle). Emerald ash borer adults are very small, metallic green beetles. They are about the size of a cooked grain of rice: only 3/8 - 1/2 inch long and 1/16 inch wide. Adult emerald ash borers emerge from beneath the bark of ash trees late May through mid-July. The pupae, like the larvae, cannot be seen unless bark is pulled away from the tree. EAB Look-Alikes. There are many metallic green insects that are common in Wisconsin and often mistaken for EAB. For more information on these look-alikes please visit the University of Wisconsin-Madison's emerald ash borer webpage. <P> Green Menace-Emerald Ash Borer Scientific name: Agrilus planipennis The adult emerald ash borer Homeland / Origin: This alien invader is from northern China and Korea. It can also be found in eastern Russia, Japan, and Mongolia. It's the second most common tree in urban areas, after the Norway maple. So, you can imagine what these insects could do to Wisconsin's forests and tree-lined streets! Emerald ash borer larva feeding under the bark of an ash tree. <P> Adult emerald ash borers are bright metallic green in color with very short antennae. They are ½ inch long and one-eighth inch wide. Emerald ash borer larvae are creamy white in color and have flattened, segmented bodies. Older larvae grow up to an inch long. It is an insect that belongs to a group of metallic wood boring beetles. These insects normally serve to kill weakened trees, a part of the natural nutrient recycling scheme. However, emerald ash borers kill vigorously growing or weakened ash trees <P> Adult beetles are slender and 1/2-inch long. Males are smaller than females. Color varies but adults are usually bronze or golden green overall, with metallic, emerald green wing covers. The top of the abdomen under the wings is metallic purplish red and can be seen when the wings are spread. Larvae reach a length of approximately 1 inch and are white or cream colored. The first United States identification of emerald ash borer was in southeastern Michigan in 2002. The emerald ash borer is currently found in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. <P> Adults: Adult beetles are metallic green and about the size of one grain of cooked rice (3/8 - 1/2 inch long and 1/16 inch wide). Adults are flat on the back and rounded on their underside. Related Documents. Signs and symptoms (what to look for) of an emerald ash borer infestation. For example, crown dieback can occur due to EAB damage, but can also be the result of drought stress, soil compaction or verticillium wilt, just to name a few. Therefore, it is important to look for a combination of at least two symptoms or signs when trying to figure out if emerald ash borer is in your ash tree.

how long should a child sleep
|
<P> 1-3 Years Old: 12 - 14 hours per day. As your child moves past the first year toward 18-21 months of age he will likely lose his morning and early evening nap and nap only once a day. While toddlers need up to 14 hours a day of sleep, they typically get only about 10. The amount of sleep a child needs varies depending on the individual and certain factors, including the age of the child. Following are some general guidelines: 1-4 Weeks Old: 15 - 16 hours per day. <P> Sleep and Toddlers (1-2 years). Toddlers need about 11-14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. When they reach about 18 months of age their naptimes will decrease to once a day lasting about one to three hours. Naps should not occur too close to bedtime as they may delay sleep at night. Sleep and Newborns (0-3 months). For newborns, sleep during the early months occurs around the clock and the sleep-wake cycle interacts with the need to be fed, changed and nurtured. Newborns sleep a total of 10.5 to 18 hours a day on an irregular schedule with periods of one to three hours spent awake. <P> Typical sleep patterns for newborns. Newborns sleep a lot – typically up to 16 to 17 hours a day. But most babies don't stay asleep for more than two to four hours at a time, day or night, during the first few weeks of life. Some infants sleep for a long stretch at night as early as 6 weeks, but many babies don't reach that milestone until they're 5 or 6 months old and some continue to wake up at night into toddlerhood. You can help your baby get there sooner, if that's your goal, by teaching him good sleep habits from the start <P> When your baby will start to sleep longer. At 6 to 8 weeks of age, most babies begin to sleep for shorter periods during the day and longer periods at night, though most continue to wake up to feed during the night. They also have shorter periods of REM sleep, and longer periods of deep, non-REM sleep. Some infants sleep for a long stretch at night as early as 6 weeks, but many babies don't reach that milestone until they're 5 or 6 months old and some continue to wake up at night into toddlerhood. You can help your baby get there sooner, if that's your goal, by teaching him good sleep habits from the start <P> What is too much sleep? When your baby is sleeping 13-15 hours per day, this is within normal ranges for a very long time. If your baby is sleeping less, this may or may not be enough sleep. Depending on your baby’s age, a typical baby will sleep 11-12 hours at night and 2-3 hours during the day. Since averages are just those, your baby may indeed need more like 12 hours at night and 4 hours of sleep during the day. This is unlikely to be a cause for concern. <P> 4-12 Months Old: 14 - 15 hours per day. While up to 15 hours is ideal, most infants up to 11 months old get only about 12 hours of sleep. Establishing healthy sleep habits is a primary goal during this period, as your baby is now much more social, and his sleep patterns are more adult-like. The amount of sleep a child needs varies depending on the individual and certain factors, including the age of the child. Following are some general guidelines: 1-4 Weeks Old: 15 - 16 hours per day. <P> Share. As a new parent, you're bound to wonder if your baby is getting enough sleep. Here are the hours of sleep your baby is likely to need between the ages of one month and 12 months. But remember that every baby is different, and your little one may need more or less sleep than this. <P> continued... Most children from about 21 to 36 months of age still need one nap a day, which may range from one to three and a half hours long. They typically go to bed between 7 and 9 p.m. and wake up between 6 and 8 a.m. 3-6 Years Old: 10 - 12 hours per day.

<P> Definition. A polynucleotide is a polymer, or chain, of nucleotides. You may have heard of a famous pair of polynucleotides called DNA. Its cousin RNA is also a polynucleotide. In this lesson, we'll learn how nucleotides join together to make a polynucleotide strand. Join a bunch of nucleotides together, and you get a polynucleotide. This could be a long strand of DNA in a cell or a short strand used by scientists in a lab. Learn about the structure and different types of polynucleotides in this lesson. <P> A polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are examples of polynucleotides with distinct biological function. The prefix poly comes from the ancient Greek πολυς (polys, many).

cause of kidney failure
|
<P> The following are the ten major causes of kidney disease. In the United States the two leading causes of kidney failure, also called end stage kidney disease or ESRD, are diabetes (also called Type 2, or adult onset diabetes) and high blood pressure. When these two diseases are controlled by treatment, the associated kidney disease can often be prevented or slowed down. Some of the other diseases that may affect the kidneys include infections, kidney stones and inherited diseases such as polycystic kidney disease. The kidneys can also be damaged by overuse of some over-the-counter pain killers and by taking illegal drugs such as heroin. <P> Renal failure, also known as kidney failure or renal insufficiency, is a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood. In kidney failure, there may be problems with increased fluid in the body (leading to swelling), increased acid levels, raised levels of potassium, decreased levels of calcium, increased levels of phosphate, and in later stages anemia. <P> 1 Treatment of the underlying cause of kidney failure may return kidney function to normal. 2 Lifelong efforts to control blood pressure and diabetes may be the best way to prevent chronic kidney disease and its progression to kidney failure. 1 There are numerous causes of kidney failure, and treatment of the underlying disease may be the first step in correcting the kidney abnormality. 2 Some causes of kidney failure are treatable and the kidney function may retur <P> 1 Symptoms of kidney failure are due to the build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness, shortness of breath, lethargy, and confusion. 2 Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. 3 Initially kidney failure may cause no symptoms. 1 There are numerous causes of kidney failure, and treatment of the underlying disease may be the first step in correcting the kidney abnormality. 2 Some causes of kidney failure are treatable and the kidney function may return to normal. <P> Diabetes and high blood pressure cause most cases of ESRD. Other causes include: 1 Autoimmune diseases (like lupus and IgA nephropathy). 2 Genetic diseases (like polycystic kidney disease). 3 Injuries. 4 Some medicines or other drugs. <P> Diseases and conditions that may slow blood flow to the kidneys and lead to kidney failure include: 1 Blood or fluid loss. 2 Blood pressure medications. 3 Heart attack. 4 Heart disease. 5 Infection. 6 Liver failure. 7 Use of aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), naproxen (Aleve, others) or related drugs. Damage to the kidneys. These diseases, conditions and agents may damage the kidneys and lead to acute kidney failure: 1 Blood clots in the veins and arteries in and around the kidneys. 2 Cholesterol deposits that block blood flow in <P> Your kidneys may be small, but they perform many vital functions that help maintain your overall health, including filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood. Serious kidney disease may lead to complete kidney failure and the need for dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant to stay alive. While effective treatments are available for many kidney diseases, people are sometimes unaware that kidney disease can often be prevented. Some of the other diseases that may affect the kidneys include infections, kidney stones and inherited diseases such as polycystic kidney disease. The kidneys can also be damaged by overuse of some over-the-counter pain killers and by taking illegal drugs such as heroin. <P> Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of chronic kidney disease that leads to kidney failure. Diabetes or high blood pressure may also speed up the progression of chronic kidney disease in someone who already has the disease. The cause of chronic kidney disease isn't always known. But any condition or disease that damages blood vessels or other structures in the kidneys can lead to kidney disease. The most common causes of chronic kidney disease are: 1 Diabetes. 2 High blood sugar levels caused by diabetes damage blood vessels in the kidneys. 3 If the blood sugar level remains high over many years, this damage gradually reduces the function of the kidneys. 4 High blood pressure (hypertension) <P> Causes. Acute kidney failure can occur when: 1 You have a condition that slows blood flow to your kidneys. 2 You experience direct damage to your kidneys. 3 Your kidneys' urine drainage tubes (ureters) become blocked and wastes can't leave your body through your urine.

<P> How much per sq ft should I expect to pay for laminate flooring installation 800 sq ft w/materials? 800 sq ft with 12 stairs and concrete subfloor. I have wood but need to know cost of installation and finishing. <P> The laminate I’m installing is $1.50 per square foot and I’m redoing my kitchen which is 250 square feet. A contractor has quoted me a flat $150 feet for ripping up and hauling away my used carpet, and will install the new laminate flooring for $2 per square foot.dd in 10% and the total for flooring materials comes to $412.50. For labor, $2 times 250 square feet equals $500. No need to add 10% here.
