what age can you bring a baby puppy home
|
<P> I’ll cut straight to the chase and say you shouldn’t bring your puppy home until it’s at least 7 weeks old, with the recommended age universally agreed to be 8 weeks of age. This period declines at about 12 weeks of age and almost completely ends at 14 weeks where fear begins to creep in as a natural trait essential to survival if it lived in the wild. So it’s essential that a puppy is socialized to as many things as possible during the 7 to 12 week period, and 14 weeks at the latest. <P> In this article. Font Size. A. A. A. Bringing home a new puppy is truly one of life's joys. Thoughtful pre-puppy preparations and a well-planned first 24 hours can give your fuzzy bundle of promise a head start and make your dreams of the perfect family dog come true. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: You should pick up your puppy anywhere from 8 weeks up. I would not trust a breeder that let you take a pup home any younger than that, as it is illegal to sell a pup under this age. Stay away from anybody that offers to sell you a pup that is younger than 8 weeks old-it is completely unethical. Training can begin from the day you bring the pup come but don't expect too much for a couple of months. Their attention spans at such a young age are very short. <P> Ideally, the age to bring home a puppy is when he’s between seven and twelve weeks old. This is considered the critical socialization period in a puppy’s life, the time when he learns the most about his environment and begins to adjust to his surroundings. <P> If a breeder tries to convince you to take the puppy home before 8 weeks, it’s usually for selfish reasons such as financial savings and not wishing to invest time into care and socialization. So be very suspicious of the breeder if this is their wish. This period declines at about 12 weeks of age and almost completely ends at 14 weeks where fear begins to creep in as a natural trait essential to survival if it lived in the wild. So it’s essential that a puppy is socialized to as many things as possible during the 7 to 12 week period, and 14 weeks at the latest. <P> Best age is between 8-12 weeks. Even though the puppies might be weaned at 5-6 weeks, they are still learning important social skills from their mother and litter mates and taking a puppy before it's 8 weeks old can result in later behavioural problems. Good question. 8 weeks is the youngest you can bring home a new puppy, because being able to leave its mother is not all about being able to be fed by her. During those ate weeks, they learn crucial socialization skills, such as bite inhibition, which is the reason why a dog knows its not ok to bite someones head off <P> 8 weeks is the standard time to take home a puppy as although they are weaned at 5 weeks they still need to learn things from their mother and their litter mates as well as gaining important time socialising. Good question. 8 weeks is the youngest you can bring home a new puppy, because being able to leave its mother is not all about being able to be fed by her. During those ate weeks, they learn crucial socialization skills, such as bite inhibition, which is the reason why a dog knows its not ok to bite someones head off <P> Keep these things in mind before your bring your puppy home. But from a caring breeder who focuses on quality dogs. Make sure that before the puppy leaves for his new home the breeder has given them the appropriate number of vaccines for their age. <P> I would recommend you visit the puppies at the very least twice, at 4/5 weeks and again when you pick up the pup. The best age to take the puppy home is 7 weeks see my Psychological Changes in a Puppies Growth. NEVER ever accept a puppy less than 7 weeks of age, it is vitally important they are with their mother and siblings up to this age. Puppies over twelve weeks should be avoided if possible.

what are schwann cells
|
<P> Schwann cells are the supporting cells of the PNS. Like oligodendrocytes schwann cells wrap themselves around nerve axons, but the difference is that a single schwann cell makes up a single segment of an axon's myelin sheath. Oligodendrocytes on the other hand, wrap themselves around numerous axons at once. <P> Schwann cell unit-a single Schwann cell and all of the axons lying in troughs indenting its surface. Schwann cells-cells of ectodermal (neural crest) origin that compose a continuous envelope around each nerve fiber of peripheral nerves. <P> Answer by California77. Confidence votes 86. Schwann cells are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS.) They have two major functions, they produce the myelin sheath which covers the schwan cell, which helps to repair and regenerate nerves that have been damaged. <P> The major function of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells is the formation of myelin. Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction, of up to 200 m/second. The association of glial cells with axons is also found in invertebrates. <P> noun, plural: Schwann cells. A glial cell that wraps around the nerve fiber in the peripheral nervous system, and forms the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Supplement. Schwann cells form a fatty material called myelin to insulate the axons in the peripheral nervous system. This method decreases membrane capacitance in the axon, thus, allowing saltatory conduction. Non-myelinating Schwann cells are involved in maintenance of axons and are crucial for neuronal survival. <P> Schwann cell. n. Any of the cells that cover the nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system and form the myelin sheath. Also called neurilemma, neurilemma cell.

how long to wait after eating before exercise
|
<P> Timing. Make it a practice to eat large meals at least three to 4 hours before working out. If you have a smaller sized meal, you can work out two to 3 hours after eating. Light snacks are typically fine when eaten right before and even during exercise. When you are done working out, you can enjoy a meal immediately. <P> It takes 30 to 40 minutes for food to digest in your stomach and 3 to 4 hours for it to absorb in your intestines. I agree that there is no strict formula for this, since it also depends on what you eat and how you intend to expend that energy. <P> up vote 2 down vote. Unfortunately, there is no strict formula for this and the answer strongly depends on the intensity of exercise. If you are uncomfortable when exercising, it has a direct effect on my performance. If I eat a full meal, I have to wait 2 to 3 hours before high intensity exercise. tons of fluids. <P> Benefits. By waiting to work out for a few hours after eating a meal, you can avoid getting stomach pain, cramping and diarrhea.. Eating lots of food right before exercising can also cause you to feel heavy and tired because your digestive system and the muscles you use to exercise are competing for energy. <P> How long you need to wait to exercise depends on how big the meal was. If it’s something small, like around 200 calories, you could probably exercise right after eating. However, if you’re eating a large meal, you may need to wait more like 2-3 hours. The smaller the meal the less it will impact your work out. If you know you’re exercising soon after, don’t stuff yourself.

how much does it cost to get rid of a fridge freezer
|
<P> If your thawing a unit inside of a fridge then remove the food from the fridge too. If your fridge has a different door and separate controls allowing you to turn off the freezer while leaving the fridge running it’s safe to leave food in the fridge. The freezer inside the fridge did not seal because that freezer was the cooling unit for the whole fridge. If I tried to freeze ground beef the milk in the fridge went bad. In two months time it would look like a frozen cavern, with frost built up so thick we'd scrap our knuckles reaching for the ice cube tray. <P> 1 Depending on the size of the fridge, the price can vary. 2 On average, the price of a refrigerator can be as low as $300 to as much as $3,000. 3 Common types of refrigerators include french doors, side-by-side, a bottom freezer and top freezer. 4 A french door model can cost anywhere from $850 to $1,800. 1 A bottom freezer based model can cost anywhere from $900 to $2,000. 2 A common type such as a top freezer can cost anywhere from $400 to $900. 3 A mini refrigerator can cost anywhere from $60 to $330. 4 Common sizes include 1.7, 2.5, 3.2 and 6 cubic feet. <P> You'll normally have to pay the dump to take the fridge. They have to remove the hazardous materials from the fridge before burying it, so they will charge you. If it still works, you can place an ad in the paper and give it away to someone that needs a fridge. Report Abuse. if it works try and give it away, if its broke you may have to pay to get rid of it, you could always leave at the end of your garden and phone the council saying someones dumped a freezer in my garden then they will take it away lol. minty · 7 years ago. Thumbs up. <P> Garvey, a freezer does indeed cost that much. You’re only looking at the electricity cost, which is only a piece of the pie. You also need to prorate out the cost of the freezer. If you spent $450 on a freezer and expect it to run 8 years, that’s another $4.69 a month. I think it’s important to note that these freezers can be had for much cheaper, too… 21cf is pretty big!! There are only two people in my house so we can get away with a 7cf model that uses 274kWh/year and cost $130 IIRC. <P> 1 A common type such as a top freezer can cost anywhere from $400 to $900. 2 A mini refrigerator can cost anywhere from $60 to $330. 3 Common sizes include 1.7, 2.5, 3.2 and 6 cubic feet. 4 For example, the Sanyo SR-A2480M retails for $162 to $190. 1 A bottom freezer based model can cost anywhere from $900 to $2,000. 2 A common type such as a top freezer can cost anywhere from $400 to $900. 3 A mini refrigerator can cost anywhere from $60 to $330. 4 Common sizes include 1.7, 2.5, 3.2 and 6 cubic feet. <P> After all, without these, you’re without cold food and leftover meals. When you have a refrigerator/freezer combo repaired, you will generally spend between two to three hours on labor costs in addition to the cost of replacement parts, resulting in an average cost of between $200 and $400. If you need to have any part of your range repaired, you could pay between $100 and $200 per project, depending on the extent of damage. Since fixing an oven range typically requires only around one hour of labor, repair professionals generally charge between $50 and $100 per project for their services. <P> Every year approximately 3 million fridges are disposed of in the UK (and a further 3 million bought). It’s estimated that the average lifespan of a fridge is 11 years, however a substantial proportion remain in use for more than 20 years. Many of the substances contained in fridges are very harmful for the environment if disposed of incorrectly. Donate or Sell. First and foremost, if your old fridge is in working order, you could give it to a friend, neighbour or family member. There are also a number of websites dedicated to reusing working appliances such as Freecycle. Some second hand dealers may be interested in your appliance if it’s in good condition. <P> 1 On average, the price of a refrigerator can be as low as $300 to as much as $3,000. 2 Common types of refrigerators include french doors, side-by-side, a bottom freezer and top freezer. 3 A french door model can cost anywhere from $850 to $1,800. 4 A side-by-side model can cost anywhere from $300 to $1,110. 1 A bottom freezer based model can cost anywhere from $900 to $2,000. 2 A common type such as a top freezer can cost anywhere from $400 to $900. 3 A mini refrigerator can cost anywhere from $60 to $330. 4 Common sizes include 1.7, 2.5, 3.2 and 6 cubic feet. <P> In addition to the savings of up to $125 per year on your electricity costs, from getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, we are pleased to be offering free pick up by staff who will remove it from your home and dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly manner. Keep in mind you will be required to plug in your fridge or freezer 24 hours prior to your appointment to verify that it is in working condition. Window air conditioners must be placed on the floor close to a power source. 9. I have a fridge or freezer that is smaller than 10 cu. ft.

(He also wrote other songs that told Western stories in a similar vein, but they are not sequels to El Paso, as they involve none of the same characters.). The arrangement includes riffs and themes from the previous two El Paso songs. Robbins wrote it while flying over El Paso, in-he reported-the same amount of time it takes to sing, four minutes and fourteen seconds. <P> Robbins wrote this in a car as he and his family were traveling through Texas on the way to Arizona. The song is a Western saga complete with drama, violence, and romance. At 4:40, this song was exceptionally long by pop standards. We took a day off and went to Cape Canaveral and Daytona, where we took a tour of the track. At one point I asked the guide who had left a particularly long skid mark ending at the wall--Marty Robbins. And El Paso was a truly great song--I loved it when it was a hit, and I still love it. Dave-Cullman, Al. <P> Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.... The song is a first-person narrative told by a cowboy who is in El Paso, Texas, in the days of the Wild West.

what is the proper written scientific name for the common cold
|
<P> The system of nomenclature used today is based on the binomial system of nomenclature, developed by Linnaeus in the late 1700's. The binomial system of nomenclature is structured so that the scientific name of a plant consists of two names: (1) the genus or generic name, and (2) the specific epithet or species name. There are rules to follow when writing a scientific name. Genus Name The genus name is written first. <P> 3. Use full scientific name when it first appears, then abbreviate generic name afterwards. Suggestions on the Use of Scientific Names: 1. Whenever a scientific name is used, it should be accompanied by two other names (ifavailable), i.e. common name and local or vernacular name. 2. On the other hand, an organismmay have many common names and numerous other vernacular or local names in manylanguages. Furthermore, the same common or local name may be referred to two or moredifferent organisms. However, it is quite difficult for the laymen to write/use scientific names. <P> Guidelines in Writing Scientific Names: 1. Capitalize first letter of generic name, while the rest, including the whole of specificepithet, in small case. Leave a single space between generic name and specific epithet. In casewhere the author’s name is to be included, use standard abbreviation for the authors’ name. On the other hand, an organismmay have many common names and numerous other vernacular or local names in manylanguages. Furthermore, the same common or local name may be referred to two or moredifferent organisms. However, it is quite difficult for the laymen to write/use scientific names. <P> Proper Presentation of Genus and Species. The way in which scientific names are written is also very important. You can always refer to scientific papers, your textbook, and (hopefully) your lab manual for proper examples. Each named species of living thing is always referred to by its genus and species name, never the species name alone. Two examples are a common bacterium, Escherichia coli and humans, Homo sapien <P> Science writing and editing: How to write scientific names. The Latin scientific name of a species, be it plant, animal, bacterium, fungus, etc., is a two-part name consisting of the genus name first (by the way: one genus, two genera) and the species name second. For example, the domestic cat is known as Felis catus. A common name that is derived from a genus name, such as gorilla, is not capitalized either (see Chicago 8.126). Below the level of species there are subspecies and varieties. When referring to an unidentified species, use the abbreviation “sp.”: The meadow contained several sedge plants (Carex sp.). <P> The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, head cold, or simply a cold) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract which primarily affects the nose. No cure for the common cold exists, but the symptoms can be treated. It is the most frequent infectious disease in humans with the average adult getting two to three colds a year and the average child getting between six and twelve. These infections have been with humanity since ancient times. <P> Scientific names are also designed to tell you something about the animal's relationships with other animals. The scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet). In our bluegill sunfish example the generic epithet is Lepomis and the specific epithet is macrochirus. <P> The system of nomenclature used today is based on the binomial system of nomenclature, developed by Linnaeus in the late 1700's. The binomial system of nomenclature is structured so that the scientific name of a plant consists of two names: (1) the genus or generic name, and (2) the specific epithet or species name. There are rules to follow when writing a scientific name.

what are bitcoins for dummies

<P> Storyline. Alicia takes on the case of Dylan Stack, a lawyer who has refused to reveal the identity of his client who is wanted by the U.S. Treasury Department for creating a new digital currency called Bitcoin. Reviews: 2 user. Alicia defends a man who claims to represent the person who created a new online currency against the Treasury Department, while Dana tries to play Kalinda against Will to help the DA's case against him. <P> How to Mine Bitcoins – For Dummies. With lots of ups and downs (mostly ups) over the last six months, Bitcoins has generated lots of buzz around the world. Valuation of Bitcoin roared from a mere $12 to $238 (2000% rise), just before plunging a little last week. With big names like the Winklevoss twins getting involved in virtual currency, it is grabbing even more attention. <P> Get Started. Bitcoin was invented as a peer-to-peer system for online payments that does not require a trusted central authority. Since its inception in 2008, Bitcoin has grown into a technology, a currency, an investment vehicle, and a community of users. <P> But Bitcoin is also the network of its users, who together build and distribute a collaborative record of who owns which bitcoins. No single person is in control, complex mathematics ensure that no one needs to be, and more than $5 billion is currently accounted for within the system. Or maybe what you’re buying might be embarrassing, and you would just rather not have your name and address in their members database. Unlike credit card transactions, bitcoin transactions do not require the company you’re purchasing from to know anything about you in order for them to accept your bitcoins. <P> Mining Bitcoins is like solving algorithms. The better hardware you have, chances are there you do it faster. So whosoever is the fastest to mine the block gets whole 25 Bitcoins for it. Naturally people do it in groups, to be more effective in this race. Valuation of Bitcoin roared from a mere $12 to $238 (2000% rise), just before plunging a little last week. With big names like the Winklevoss twins getting involved in virtual currency, it is grabbing even more attention. <P> -So here's a deal with Bitcoin, and the US [unk]-- -'Cause Bitcoin's been around for a very long time. -Since 2009. -That's a long time. -That so funny that you say it's very long. Okay, better get-- -Well, in internet time, that's like a decade. -True. It's a virtual currency. -Right. Jill Schlesinger carefully explains Bitcoin to The 404 guys so that their brains do not explode. <P> If you still can’t figure out what the heck a bitcoin is, this simple explanation for a five-year-old may help you ... We’re sitting on a park bench. It’s a great day. <P> So I decided to create my own “What is Bitcoin for Dummies” video. 2:40 minutes of a completely non technical, simple explanation. And here’s the text version: Imagine for a second that you are in charge of the task of inventing money. <P> Since bitcoins can’t be refunded by a third party like your credit card company, you’ll have less recourse in the event a business you’ve paid cheats you or doesn’t deliver what it promised. And the potential for your bitcoins to appreciate in value means you might not want to spend them, anyway. Or maybe what you’re buying might be embarrassing, and you would just rather not have your name and address in their members database. Unlike credit card transactions, bitcoin transactions do not require the company you’re purchasing from to know anything about you in order for them to accept your bitcoins.

what is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron

<P> The main difference is that motor neurons move signals from the central nervous system to a central organ or point while sensory neurons move signals from the central organ or … point to the central nervous system. The main difference is that a sensory neuron carries messages in the form of electric impulse from sense organs to brain, whereas motor neurons carries messages to effect … ive organs. <P> Best Answer: Motor neurons typically go from the CNS to the periphery of the body and control stimulus of the muscles and movement. Sensory neurons typically go from the periphery to the CNS and transmit your senses, i.e. hot, cold, hard, soft, pain, pleasure, etc. Sensory neurons (neurons) are neurons that are activated by sensory input (vision, touch, hearing, etc.), and send projections into the central nervous system that convey sensory information to the brain or spinal cord. <P> They follow ascending, or afferent pathways, so called ‘ afferent neurons ’. The cell body of the sensory neurons is located in the peripheral sensory ganglia, in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons are unipolar neurons with afferent fibers, which extend between sensory receptors and central nervous system. Neurons can be classified based on their function as sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory Neurons. Sensory neurons convey sensory impulses from sensory organs toward the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord and brain. <P> Confidence votes 252. motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body. Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin. A sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight … or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. <P> motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from … either the outside or from within the body.

A sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. <P> In vertebrates, the term motor neuron (or motoneuron) classically applies to neurons located in the central nervous system (or CNS) that project their axons outside the CNS and directly or indirectly control muscles. Motor neuron is often associated with efferent neuron, primary neuron, or alpha motor neurons.

what does a bonsai represent
|
<P> The connotations or added/implied bonsai tree meanings include: 1 A general tree-like shape or style (although not necessarily natural to that type of plant growing full-size in the wild). 2 A profile that is not as detailed as a photographically-real tree but has just enough features to easily suggest a full-grown tree. Bonsai are not genetically dwarfed plants, in fact, any tree species can be used to grow one. Techniques such as pinching buds, pruning and wiring branches, and carefully restricting but not abandoning fertilizers are used to limit and redirect healthy growth. <P> Bonsai (盆栽) (lit. tray cultivation) is the art of growing trees, or woody plants shaped as trees, in containers. Bonsai is sometimes confused with dwarfing, but dwarfing more accurately refers to researching and creating cultivars of plant material that are permanent, genetic miniatures of existing species. <P> • BONSAI (noun). The noun BONSAI has 1 sense: 1. a dwarfed ornamental tree or shrub grown in a tray or shallow pot. Familiarity information: BONSAI used as a noun is very rare. <P> Meaning of Bonsai. Bonsai refers to any tree or shrub that has been miniaturized by careful pruning and tying of branches. Bonsai is not a species of tree but an art form that reflects the connectedness of life and a respect for the beauty of nature. These tiny trees, displayed in ceramic containers their artists choose especially for them, mimic the mature trees found in nature. The shape of the bonsai is as meaningful as its size. <P> Bonsai (盆栽, lit. plantings in tray, from bon, a tray or low-sided pot and sai, a planting or plantings, pronunciation (help·info)) is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers. When the candidate bonsai nears its planned final size it is planted in a display pot, usually one designed for bonsai display in one of a few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is restricted by the pot environment. <P> The ancient Asian art form known as bonsai -- the creation of miniaturized trees -- is commonly thought to be a Japanese cultural phenomenon. Bonsai is not a species of tree but an art form that reflects the connectedness of life and a respect for the beauty of nature. These tiny trees, displayed in ceramic containers their artists choose especially for them, mimic the mature trees found in nature. The shape of the bonsai is as meaningful as its size. <P> Bonsai is a Japanese pronunciation of the earlier Chinese term penzai. A bon is a tray-like pot typically used in bonsai culture. The word bonsai is often used in English as an umbrella term for all miniature trees in containers or pots. This article focuses on bonsai as defined in the Japanese tradition. When the candidate bonsai nears its planned final size it is planted in a display pot, usually one designed for bonsai display in one of a few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is restricted by the pot environment. <P> Bonsai Symbolism. In the English language, the term bonsai is often used loosely to reference all miniature-scale trees. But bonsai refers specifically to a Japanese art form, ascended from the Chinese art of penjing, more than a thousand years ago. Bonsai, like other forms of art, uses the medium of symbolism to communicate ideas and emotions. The art of bonsai is robust with symbolism and meaning where everything means something. Each detail sends a subliminal message, contributing to the larger story encompassed within the ongoing creation. Container and accessory colors are carefully chosen to represent the hues found in nature. <P> Bonsai means 'Tree in a Pot'. An essential part of bonsai is that the plants are always planted in a pot of some type. There are many different forms of pot used for the purpose of growing bonsai trees. You will often see the term ‘tree in a pot’ used to describe bonsai. Bonsai is an ancient art form that originated in China and Japan and is primarily focused on producing beautiful miniaturized trees and plants. Bonsai is in fact a Japanese version of the original Chinese word ‘pun-sai’ that was applied to this oriental art form. <P> There are many topics of bonsai that it is necessary to research. Most people in the West merely want a nicely designed tree that is suitable for their climate and has certain leaf colors and flower or fruit specifications. But there is a bit more symbolism in Japanese bonsai. Many trees are used in bonsai, but each one is suitable for a different kind of style. If you try to train the wrong kind of tree into an unsuitable shape, you'll end up killing the tree or growing an unattractive specimen.

how much do flight attendants make a month
|
<P> Whenever airlines advertise openings for flight attendants, the applications gush in. Southwest Airlines recently received 10,000 applications for 750 attendant positions—in about two hours. A year ago, 114,000 people sought 2,500 flight attendant spots at the airline, known for its laid-back work environment. Few people ever get rich corralling a drinks cart, but a veteran flight attendant can make more than $50,000 annually—though no new hire will approach that amount, even at Southwest, which is noted for its relative generosity. To start, $25,000 per year is typical. <P> In a typical month, a Flight Attendant will usually work between 75 and 85 hours up to a maximum of approximately 100 hours. Factors such as weather, employees calling in sick or employees going over their maximum monthly limitation are among some of the reasons why airlines need Flight Attendants to cover extra shifts. Some airlines require F/A’s to have a minimum of one or more years of service to become a Service Director. At Air Canada for example, in 2011 a purser on a narrow-body aircraft earned $50.14 per hour while a Purser on the B777 earned $67.92 per hour. <P> On average flight attendants make $35,000-$40,000 a year. What most people don’t realize is newly hired flight attendants in the U.S. start out only making between $14,000 – $18,000 a year. I can usually get 75 hours worth of flying by working just twelve to fifteen days a month. But due to pay cuts after 9/11 most flight attendants are forced to work high time (100 plus hours a month) or take on second jobs in order to make ends meet. <P> Southwest is a little unusual in that it calculates salary based on a flight's distance and time. After their first year, Southwest's flight attendants are guaranteed at least 80 flight segments per month, which are based on $22.36 for each trip up to 243 miles and 55 minutes or less.

To start, $25,000 per year is typical. <P> In 1995 I made $18,000 a year working for a major U.S. carrier. Nowadays most newly hired flight attendants make even less than that. This is because right after 9/11 the majority of flight attendants took huge pay cuts in order to help keep the airlines up and running. I can usually get 75 hours worth of flying by working just twelve to fifteen days a month. But due to pay cuts after 9/11 most flight attendants are forced to work high time (100 plus hours a month) or take on second jobs in order to make ends meet. <P> For example the median expected annual pay for a typical Flight Attendant in the United States is $68,374 so 50% of the people who perform the job of Flight Attendant in the United States are expected to make less than $68,374. Source: HR Reported data as of October 2015. Median $68,374. <P> Based on the factors above, the salary for a newly hired flight attendant in the U.S. is $24,000 – $38,000 on an annual basis, depending on the number of flight hours they are given. The average salaries end up leveling off around $45,000 – $60,000 per year. Hourly wages can improve depending on how long a flight attendant has worked for a specific airline company. Or where they are stationed for example Las Vegas. If they are just starting, their pay will usually be around $12 – $14 per hour, and will increase as their experience does.

Some concrete contractors estimate that a stamped concrete patio costs one-third less than the cost of other materials. <P> The overall cost of a concrete patio depends on the design and size of the patio. Prices usually start at around $6 per square foot up to $10 per square foot for a basic design without any colors or special designs. Adding colors or a pattern to the design can increase the price to $15 per square foot. The average price that homeowners pay for a concrete patio is around $2,800 to just over $4,000, but some homeowners report spending as little as $1,000 or as much as $6,500. A custom design typically costs more because those projects involve more work. <P> Simple concrete patio costs. A fairly small and simple concrete patio measuring 10 feet by 20 feet costs $1,000 to $2,000 as of 2010, according to the website Cost Helper. Although expensive for such a small area, this price includes professional site preparation, labor and concrete costs. Elaborate patios cost much more money. A larger 80 by 20 foot concrete patio costs $4,000 to $6,000 for professional labor and materials, according to Cost Helper. Those with colored concrete or stamped patterns should expect to pay closer to $6,000 for the customization <P> Our free calculator uses recent, trusted data to estimate costs for your Concrete Patio Installation project. For a basic 120 square feet project in zip code 47474, the benchmark cost to Install a Concrete Patio ranges between $4.81 - $6.37 per square foot* . To estimate costs for your project: <P> Basic concrete patio costs: $6 to $10 per square foot. Custom concrete patio costs: $10 to $15 per square foot. Advanced or complex designs: $15 or more per square foot. Average patio costs: $2,800 to $4,000. The average price that homeowners pay for a concrete patio is around $2,800 to just over $4,000, but some homeowners report spending as little as $1,000 or as much as $6,500. A custom design typically costs more because those projects involve more work. <P> Stamped concrete patio cost is about $8 to $12 per square foot for a basic design (one pattern, one color) up to $20 per square foot or more for elaborate designs with multiple colors, patterns or hand-applied stains. 1 10 x 12 DIY stone patios cost approximately $400 to $500. (How to: This Old House). 2 The cost to build your own 15 x 20 brick patio is around $1,000. ( 3 How to: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,220690,00.html). 4 You can pour and form your own concrete patio for as little as $.50 to $1.00 per square foot. <P> And how much is a cheap patio? The cost to install a 200-square-foot concrete patio is about $740 to $840 on average, according to HomeWyse.com, an online reference for home projects.

what is sociocultural theory
|
<P> Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of human learning describes learning as a social process and the origination of human intelligence in society or culture. <P> Sociocultural theory is an emerging theory in psychology that looks at the important contributions that society makes to individual development. This theory stresses the interaction between developing people and the culture in which they live. <P> Theory Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory: Vygotsky is best known for being an educational psychologist with a sociocultural theory. This theory suggests that social interaction leads to continuous step-by-step changes in children's thought and behavior that can vary greatly from culture to culture(Woolfolk, 1998). <P> Sociocultural theory was created by Lev Vygotsky as a response to Behaviorism. The main idea of the theory is that the ways people interact with others and the culture they live in shape their mental abilities. <P> The second element in the sociocultural theory is the zone of proximal development (ZPD). Vygotsky believed that any pedagogy creates learning processes that lead to development and this sequence results in zones of proximal development. <P> Sociocultural theory is a theory that believes social interaction has a major part in the development of cognition. The theory is that learning is a social process. <P> Current conceptualizations of sociocultural theory draw heavily on the work of Vygotsky (1986), as well as later theoreticians (see, for example, Wertsch, 1991, 1998). <P> Sociocultural theory, as stated by Cole, John-Steiner, Scribner and Souberman, is the belief that every function in the child's cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level.. <P> Lev S. Vygotksy, a psychologist in Russia who began his work following the Russian Revolution of 1917, is most closely identified with sociocultural theory. Vygotsky, argued: “The social dimension of consciousness is primary in time and in fact. <P> The work of Lev Vygotsky (1934) has become the foundation of much research and theory in cognitive development over the past several decades, particularly of what has become known as Social Development Theory.

what materials that can be used to make a suspension bridge
|
<P> It is resistant to fire and weather and has been used for many centuries. http://www.wbcsdcement.org/index.php/key-issues/sustainability-with-concrete/properties-of-concrete. http://www.cliftonbridge.org.uk/faqs/what_materials. http://www.ehow.com/info_12018665_materials-need-build-model-bridge-suspension.html. They undergo a lot of tension and compressive forces, and for this they need to be extremely strong. The material used in these cables is steel, it is an alloy of iron, manganese and tungsten, which make it extremely strong, durable and hard. Also tungsten gives it a rather high boiling point too. <P> Steel. Steel is the one of the strongest bridge materials available, and can be used to span distances that are not possible with other products. It is 10 to 100 times stronger than concrete and weighs less. Steel bridges are susceptible to rust and corrosion, however, and tend to require a lot of maintenance <P> Steel, which is very strong under tension, is an ideal material for cables; a single steel wire, only 0.1 inch thick, can support over half a ton without breaking. Light, and strong, suspension bridges can span distances from 2,000 to 7,000 feet far longer than any other kind of bridge. They are ideal for covering busy waterways. With any bridge project the choice of materials and form usually comes down to cost. Suspension bridges tend to be the most expensive to build. A suspension bridge suspends the roadway from huge main cables, which extend from one end of the bridge to the other. These cables rest on top of high towers and have to be securely anchored into the bank at either end of the bridge. <P> The history of suspension bridges is liberally sprinkled with examples of successful bridges that were widely believed to be impossible when proposed by a visionary engineer. One example was a railway bridge Roebling constructed between 1851-1855 across the Niagra River gorge. Each suspension bridge is designed uniquely, with attention given to both function and aesthetics. New materials may be used, or even developed, to make the bridge less bulky and more efficient. And innovative designers sometimes create unusual solutions to their challenges. <P> A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. The first modern examples of this type of bridge were built in the early 19th century. Simple suspension bridges, which lack vertical suspenders, have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. The first design for a bridge resembling the modern suspension bridge is attributed to Venetian polymath Fausto Veranzio, whose 1595 book Machinae Novae included drawings both for a timber and rope suspension bridge, and a hybrid suspension and cable-stayed bridge using iron chains (see gallery below). <P> What materials were used to build the Golden Gate Bridge? The main materials used to make the Golden Gate Bridge were 75,293,000 kg of steel; two main cables, each made of 27,572 strands of wire; 600,000 rivets in each of the towers; … and concrete. The steel was made in New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania and shipped through the Panama Canal. 126 people found this useful. <P> They help keep the cables suspended, and convert the heaviness from the cables into pressure that forces the towers into the ground. They can be made out of iron/steel just like the cables or sometimes stone. For example the Clifton Suspension Bridge towers are made out of Pennant Stone. It is originated from England, Bristol and Wales, and is hard and heavy. It has aesthetic properties as it can be smoothed down to look nice, and has nice colouring. They undergo a lot of tension and compressive forces, and for this they need to be extremely strong. The material used in these cables is steel, it is an alloy of iron, manganese and tungsten, which make it extremely strong, durable and hard. Also tungsten gives it a rather high boiling point too. <P> The suspension cables must be anchored at each end of the bridge, since any load applied to the bridge is transformed into a tension in these main cables. The main cables continue beyond the pillars to deck-level supports, and further continue to connections with anchors in the ground. The first design for a bridge resembling the modern suspension bridge is attributed to Venetian polymath Fausto Veranzio, whose 1595 book Machinae Novae included drawings both for a timber and rope suspension bridge, and a hybrid suspension and cable-stayed bridge using iron chains (see gallery below).

what are uremic substances
|
<P> Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disorder that usually occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells, causing kidney injury. See All » News & Features. 1 High Altitude. 2 E. Coli Kills 2 and Sickens Many; Focus Is on Beef. Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection with E. coli bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7). However, the condition has also been linked to other gastrointestinal infections, including shigella and salmonella, as well as nongastrointestinal infections. <P> The uremic syndrome is characterized by the retention of a host of compounds which in healthy subjects are secreted into the urine by the healthy kidneys. These compounds disturb many physiologic functions, resulting in toxicity. Part of the retained compounds are the result of oxidative processes due to the inflammatory status of uremic patients; however, other compounds are not, and even the concentration of oxidative compounds will be further increased by disturbances of urinary clearance. Copyright 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel. <P> Both uremia and the uremic syndrome have been used interchangeably to define a very high plasma urea concentration that is the result of renal failure. The Uremic Syndrome can be defined as the terminal clinical manifestation of kidney failure (also called renal failure). It is the signs, symptoms and results from laboratory tests which result from inadequate excretory, regulatory and endocrine function of the kidneys. <P> Medications or substances causing Uremia: The following drugs, medications, substances or toxins are some of the possible causes of Uremia as a symptom. This list is incomplete and various other drugs or substances may cause your symptoms. <P> Topic Overview. Uremia (uremic syndrome) is a serious complication of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury (also known as acute renal failure). It occurs when urea and other waste products build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them. These substances can become poisonous (toxic) to the body if they reach high levels. Prolonged or severe fluid buildup (edema) may make the uremic syndrome worse. Uremic syndrome may affect any part of the body and can cause: 1 Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. 2 Changes in mental status, such as confusion, reduced awareness, agitation, psychosis, seizures, and coma <P> Uremia or uraemia (see spelling differences) can be translated as urea in the blood. Urea is one of the primary components of urine. It can be defined as an excess of amino acid and protein metabolism end products, such as urea and creatinine, in the blood that would be normally excreted in the urine. The Uremic Syndrome can be defined as the terminal clinical manifestation of kidney failure (also called renal failure). It is the signs, symptoms and results from laboratory tests which result from inadequate excretory, regulatory and endocrine function of the kidneys. <P> Causes of Uremia. Uremia is caused by reduced blood flow to the kidney due to kidney failure, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, heart failure, shock and renal (kidney) artery embolism or occlusion. The following drugs, medications, substances or toxins are some of the possible causes of Uremia as a symptom. This list is incomplete and various other drugs or substances may cause your symptoms. <P> Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome is a disease that primarily affects kidney function. This condition, which can occur at any age, causes abnormal blood clots (thrombi) to form in small blood vessels in the kidneys. These clots can cause serious medical problems if they restrict or block blood flow. As a result of clot formation in small blood vessels, people with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome experience kidney damage and acute kidney failure that lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in about half of all cases.

what soil do trachycarpus fortunei like
|
<P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Trachycarpus fortunei (Chusan palm, windmill palm or Chinese windmill palm) is a palm native to central China (Hubei southwards), southern Japan (Kyushu), south to northern Burma and northern India, growing at altitudes of 100–2,400 m (328–7,874 ft). Trachycarpus fortunei grows to 12–20 m (39–66 ft) tall on a single stem the diameter of which is up to 15–30 centimetres (5.9–11.8 in). The trunk is very rough with the persistent leaf bases clasping the stem as layers of coarse fibrous material. <P> INTRODUCTION. Trachycarpus is a genus of palms that are solitary, single trunk plants with fan leaves. They are referred to as Windmill Palms or Chusan Palms. Interestingly, the term Windmill Palm is used to describe the most common species of the group (Trachycarpus fortunei) as well as the group in general. They have become quite popular with people who want a cold tolerant palms that doesn't take up too much room. There are quite a few types of Trachycarpus. One species of this genus, Trachycarpus fortunei, is specifically called the Chinese Windmill Palm. <P> The windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) is just such a specimen. Not native to North America, but able to survive in USDA zones 8a-11, windmill palm trees are a hardy palm variety (to 10 degrees F./-12 C. or lower) that can withstand a layer of snow. Although it makes a fabulous focal point and is often used to set off a patio or like sitting area, this palm tree shines when planted in groupings of 6 to 10 feet apart. Growing windmill palms does not require any specific soil type. <P> Most people think of palms as tropical plants, but the Chinese Windmill Palm, which is also known as Chusan Palm (trachycarpus fortunei) proves that palms can also grow in cold-hardy zones. Beginners are likely to have an easy time caring for the Chinese Windmill Palm since it is quite tolerant of many conditions. As for drainage, that has more to do with how you prepared your soil and the drainage system in your garden. Fertilise your plant for extra insurance. Technically speaking, Chinese Windmill Palms are able to obtain everything they need from natural sources like good soil, water, and sunlight. <P> In appearance, it is similar to Trachycarpus fortunei. On mature trees and compared to the common Windmill Palm, however, it is taller with a thicker trunk, has a bigger crown of leaves with more actual leaves in the crown and larger individual leaves. The leaves are also more stiff than the fortunei. They have become quite popular with people who want a cold tolerant palms that doesn't take up too much room. There are quite a few types of Trachycarpus. One species of this genus, Trachycarpus fortunei, is specifically called the Chinese Windmill Palm.

<P> The South Perth Foreshore (SPF) is an extensive area of public open space that occupies approximately 62 hectares of Swan River foreshore land. It stretches from the Narrows Bridge in the west to Ellam Street in the east, where it joins the Town of Victoria Park’s foreshore reserves, including McCallum Park.

what age is the meningitis vaccine available for
|
<P> CDC recommends routine administration of a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine MenACWY for all people aged 11–18 years. A single dose of vaccine should be administered at age 11 or 12 years, and a booster dose should be administered at age 16 years. Routine immunization is not recommended for other age groups in the United States, with the exception of people at increased risk for meningococcal disease. <P> On October 18, 2007, FDA approved expanding the age range for Menactra, a bacterial meningitis vaccine, to include children ages 2 to 10 years. The vaccine was first approved by FDA in January 2005 for people ages 11 to 55 years. Until now, Menomune was the only meningococcal vaccine available in the United States for use in children ages 2 and older. Menactra and Menomune are manufactured by sanofi pasteur Inc. of Swiftwater, Pa. <P> When quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine was first recommended for preteens and teens in 2005, the expectation was that protection would last for 10 years; however, currently available data suggest protection declines in most teens within 5 years. All 11–12 year olds should be vaccinated with a quadrivalent (protects against serogroups A, C, W, and Y) meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Menactra® or Menveo®). A booster dose is recommended at age 16 years. <P> Teens age 16 through 18 years can get the booster dose at any time. The minimum interval between doses is 8 weeks. However, teens who receive their first dose of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine at or after age 16 do not need a booster dose. All 11–12 year olds should be vaccinated with a quadrivalent (protects against serogroups A, C, W, and Y) meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Menactra® or Menveo®). A booster dose is recommended at age 16 years. <P> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today expanded the approved age range for Menactra, a bacterial meningitis vaccine, to include children ages 2 to 10 years. Meningitis is a serious inflammation of the lining that surrounds the spinal cord and brain. Now there are two vaccines available for children between 2 and 10 years of age who may be at increased risk of meningitis,” said Jesse L. Goodman, M.D., M.P.H., director of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. <P> One type of MCV4, Menveo, is licensed for use in people aged 2 to 55. Another version, Menactra, is approved for those 9 months to 55 years old. MPSV4 is the only vaccine licensed for use in people over 55 as well as people 2 to 55. Both vaccines protect against four types of meningococcal disease. <P> Serogroup B meningococcal vaccine is also available for preteens and teens, but it is only recommended for certain people at increased risk of meningococcal disease. Physicians can still use serogroup B meningococcal vaccines for people 10 through 25 years old consistent with the labeled indication. All 11–12 year olds should be vaccinated with a quadrivalent (protects against serogroups A, C, W, and Y) meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Menactra® or Menveo®). A booster dose is recommended at age 16 years. <P> FDA approved this vaccine for use in people 10 through 25 years old as a 2-dose series. Clinicians can use serogroup B meningococcal vaccines for people 10 through 25 years old consistent with the labeled indication. Vaccines are now available that help protect against all three serogroups (B, C, and Y) of meningococcal disease that are commonly seen in the United States: <P> MPSV4 and MCV4 can prevent four types of meningococcal disease, which make up about 70% of the cases in the U.S. The MenB vaccines prevent the Meningococcal B strain. MCV4 is preferred for people age 55 and younger. The recommendation for teens is one dose at age 11 and one dose at age 16. The doctor or nurse injects one dose into the muscle. Meningitis is a dangerous inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Two meningitis vaccine s protects against four types of meningococcal disease. An additional type of vaccine protects against serotype B, which also causes meningitis.

what is a uterine embolization
|
<P> Uterine artery embolization is a minimally-invasive (without a large abdominal incision) technique which involves identifying which arteries supply blood to the fibroids and then blocking off those arteries. Uterine artery embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist, a doctor specializing in the field of radiology that treats a wide range of internal body conditions without making a surgical incision. <P> Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a procedure that offers an alternative to traditional surgical removal of uterine fibroids. The procedure may also be referred to as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). Uterine artery embolization shrinks fibroids by blocking off their blood supply. The blood supply is blocked by injecting very small particles into the arteries that supply the fibroids. The particles stick to the vessel wall and cause a clot to develop, blocking off the blood supply. Uterine artery embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist, a doctor specializing in the field of radiology that treats a wide range of internal body conditions without making a surgical incision. <P> The procedure is also sometimes referred to as Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), but this term is less specific and, as will be discussed below, UAE is used for conditions other than fibroids. Fibroid tumors, also known as myomas, are benign tumors that arise from the muscular wall of the uterus. It is extremely rare for them to turn cancerous. More commonly, they cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain in the pelvic region, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. <P> Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat fibroid tumors of the uterus which can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. It uses a form of real-time x-ray called fluoroscopy to guide the delivery of embotic agents to the uterus and fibroids.

Given that this minimally invasive procedure is commonly used in the treatment of uterine fibroids it is also called uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). <P> Uterine fibroid embolization is used to shrink or destroy uterine fibroids. It is used in women with fibroid problems who do not wish to treat fibroids with hysterectomy, do not plan to be pregnant in the future, and have not reached menopause.

Uterine fibroid embolization usually takes between 1 and 3 hours, depending on how long it takes to position the catheter and how easy it is to position the catheter in the arteries in the uterus. <P> Uterine fibroid embolization is a procedure in which small microscopic beads are injected into blood vessels that are supplying the uterus. There is a significant debate in using uterine artery embolization for the removal of fibroids and then a patient becoming pregnant, and at this time there is no good long-term data on this scenario. <P> Because the effect of uterine fibroid embolization on fertility is not fully understood, UFE is typically offered to women who no longer wish to become pregnant or who want or need to avoid having a hysterectomy, which is the operation to remove the uterus. top of page.

what is dream incubation
|
<P> (excerpted from the audio cassette Dream Incubation: Asking for the Dreams You Want). Dream incubation is a time-honored technique dating as far back as recorded history. Simply put: it means to ask your dreams to address a certain question in your life. <P> Dream Incubation. The theme of your dreams will be related to the challenges you are facing during the day. Of course, the connection between day material and dream content is messy, not matching exactly, and this makes the events in dreams seem to be disconnected from waking life. <P> Dream Incubation. Dream incubation is learning to plant a seed for a specific dream topic to occur. For example, you might go to bed repeating to yourself that you'll dream about a presentation you have coming up or a vacation you just took. While somewhat similar to lucid dreaming in that problems can be solved, dream incubation is simply focusing attention on a specific issue when going to sleep. Several studies have shown this method to be successful over a period of time. <P> Dream incubation is a practiced technique of learning to plant a seed in the mind, in order for a specific dream topic to occur, either for recreation or to attempt to solve a problem. If you're just trying to dream about an issue or you want to dream of a person who's deceased or you haven't seen in a long time, you'd use very similar bedtime incubation suggestions as you would for problem solving: a concise verbal statement of what you want to dream about or a visual image of it to look at. <P> 3 steps for a Successful Dream Incubation. Set your Intention. The most important part of dream incubation is setting an intention. You have to really want it. And the clearer your intention, the more likely a dream will come to answer your question or dilemma. <P> Dream Incubation. To incubate a dream means to seek earnestly for a dream that responds to a special need or question. This way of approaching the best in yourself for help has been practised widely in many cultures. <P> Dream incubation has been used for hundreds if not thousands of years. The dreaming mind is free of all the hang-ups and creativity blockers that are often present in the waking conscious mind. You are free when asleep and dreaming to utilise the full resources of your mind's creative abilities. Resources: Dream Incubation.

percentage of americans for legalizing medical marijuana
|
<P> 1 While a majority-albeit a slimmer one-of Republicans also support the legalization medical marijuana (69% support, 23% oppose), a similar majority opposes legalizing marijuana for recreational use (27% support, 65% oppose). Seven in ten Americans believe the amount of marijuana used will increase (68% then, 70% now) along with the number of people who use marijuana (68% then, 69% now). A majority of Americans also anticipate an increase in the consistency and standardization of the marijuana used (59% in 2011 and 2015). <P> Nationally, this survey finds 46 percent support for legalizing small amounts of marijuana for personal use – the same as it was last spring, and well above its level in past years, for example 39 percent in 2002 and 22 percent in 1997. GROUPS – Age is a factor. <P> Fifty-two percent of Americans say the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 45 percent say it should not, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in March among 1,501 adults. <P> 1 Support for legalizing marijuana use has grown among Americans under 44, and now most Americans 45 to 64 think marijuana should be legal (55 percent; in April this age group was divided). 2 The only age group that still opposes legalizing marijuana use is seniors 65 and older. Most – 56 percent-think it is being used for other reasons. Nevertheless, 77 percent of Americans who think most of the medical marijuana purchased is being used for other purposes still think doctors should be allowed to prescribe medical marijuana. <P> Support surged 10 percentage points in past year, to 58%. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For marijuana advocates, the last 12 months have been a period of unprecedented success as Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana. And now for the first time, a clear majority of Americans (58%) say the drug should be legalized. Young Adults More Likely to Support Legalization. Americans 65 and older are the only age group that still opposes legalizing marijuana. Still, support among this group has jumped 14 percentage points since 2011. In contrast, 67% of Americans aged 18 to 29 back legalization. <P> For the first time since the CBS News Poll began asking the question, a slight majority of Americans favor the legalization of marijuana use. Fifty-one percent say they think the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 44 percent do not. Most – 56 percent-think it is being used for other reasons. Nevertheless, 77 percent of Americans who think most of the medical marijuana purchased is being used for other purposes still think doctors should be allowed to prescribe medical marijuana. <P> Print |. A A. A majority of Americans believe marijuana use should be legalized nationwide, according to a new poll. The CNN/ORC International survey of 1010 adults found that 55 percent of respondents supported legalization while 44 percent said it should remain illegal. <P> 1 Support for legalizing marijuana use has risen six points among Americans earning under $100K a year (50 percent now vs. 44 percent), and 12 points among those earning $100K or more (64 percent now vs. 52 percent). Most – 56 percent-think it is being used for other reasons.

which system produces enzymes
|
<P> As the partially digested food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine, digestive juices secreted by the pancreas mix with it. The digestive juice produced in the pancreas contains enzymes that aid in further digesting proteins, carbohydrates and fats, as described by the University of Montana. <P> The pancreas has two main functions. The exocrine cells produce digestive enzymes to assist in digestion and the endocrine cells produce hormones to control metabolism. Pancreatic enzymes produced by acinar cells help to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. <P> The enzymes involved in respiration, photosynthesis and protein synthesis work inside cells. Other enzymes are produced by specialised cells and released from them; the digestive enzymes are like this. They pass out into the gut, where they catalyse the breakdown of food molecules. <P> Secretion. The stomach produces and secretes several important substances to control the digestion of food. Each of these substances is produced by exocrine or endocrine cells found in the mucosa. 1 The main exocrine product of the stomach is gastric juice – a mixture of mucus, hydrochloric acid, and digestive enzymes. <P> DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are made by our body's organs. Digestive enzymes are secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and the small intestine. [Technically, digestive enzymes are also considered to be metabolic enzymes whose metabolic role is to digest food. <P> Two solid digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. <P> Enzymes are secreted by several organs of the digestive system: the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the small intestine. <P> Report Abuse. Enzymes are produced in various regions of our digestive system. Starch is digested by amylase produced by our salivary glands; protein is broken down by pepsin, manufactured in the stomach. In the upper part of the small intestine-the duodenum-all main nutrient molecules are broken down by enzymes made in our pancreas and by the small intestine itself.

what is underlayment for vinyl flooring
|
<P> Hardwood, laminate, bamboo and vinyl flooring underlayment products help dampen sound, protect your floor from harmful moisture and provide thermal insulation. <P> Here is one typical composition of flooring layers : Top Layer-Finish Floor: The finish floor, such as hardwood, laminate, or tile. Second Layer Down-Underlayment: Plywood, fiberboard, or cementboard, and is usually either 1/4 or 1/2. Third Layer Down-Subfloor: Subfloor will already be in place (unless this home is under construction). If you are remodeling, you will typically be laying down underlayment before installing the finish floor. Often, the existing finish floor or subfloor are in such bad condition that installing underlayment is necessary. If you are building a new house, the subfloor itself may be adequate for installation of the finish floor--eliminating the need for underlayment <P> 1 Underlayment: Rolls of plywood, fiberboards or other rolls of material that serve as a buffer between the subfloor and the surface, improving stability. 2 Finish floor: The actual materials you see and walk on, such as tile or stone. 1 Subfloor: Usually already intact; generally plywood, which provides support for everything. 2 <P> Hardboard is not a good underlayment for vinyl flooring because it is not a completely uniform surface. It’s also a very porous surface that can extract all of the liquid out of vinyl flooring adhesives – leaving the vinyl itself loose and slippery. However, wood is not always the best choice for underlayment. Yes! Underlayment goes on top of the structural support of your floor and under your actual flooring. It is designed to create a smooth, durable surface – which is why it is so important for viny <P> Step 3. When installing the new underlayment, stagger the seams of the plywood panels, and leave a 1/32-inch gap between panels to allow for expansion. Leave a 1/8-inch gap along the walls. Always use the fasteners and fastening pattern recommended by the vinyl floor and plywood manufacturer. Install Sheet Vinyl Flooring. Vinyl wears well, resists water and is one of the most affordable flooring options available. Installing a sheet vinyl floor is a manageable do-it-yourself project. The key to success is preparation. <P> Rubber underlayment is used for wood flooring, linoleum tiles, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) , plastic smooth tiles, dance flooring, tool liners, shelve liners, counter top surfaces, reusable protective construction flooring, etc. <P> The thinness and softness of sheet vinyl requires that it be installed on a surface that is very flat and smooth. Installing underlayment in the vinyl areas supplies the elevation, smoothness and levelness necessary for the proper installation of vinyl floors. Particle Board. One common underlayment for vinyl floors is 1/2-inch particle board. It’s inexpensive, flat, smooth and bonds well to the vinyl adhesives. <P> Wood is the oldest form of underlayment. If you want to use lumber as a vinyl flooring underlayment, your best bets are using either particleboard or plywood. They are both thin types of wood that won’t raise the level of your vinyl flooring up too much. Yes! Underlayment goes on top of the structural support of your floor and under your actual flooring. It is designed to create a smooth, durable surface – which is why it is so important for viny <P> Tolerances. Whenever possible, plan your cuts so the factory edges of the underlayment come together, and place the saw-cut edges on the perimeters against the walls. Give yourself 1/8 to 1/4 inch of room along the walls. In fact, you can leave gaps the thickness of the base board.

This biological process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance. DNA is made up of two strands and each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the production of the complementary strand, a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication.

what is a java interface
|
<P> What is an interface. Interface looks like class but it is not a class. An interface can have methods and variables just like the class but the methods declared in interface are by default abstract (only method signature, no body). Also, the variables declared in an interface are public, static & final by default. <P> Java includes a concept called interfaces. A Java interface is a bit like a class, except a Java interface can only contain method signatures and fields. An Java interface cannot contain an implementation of the methods, only the signature (name, parameters and exceptions) of the method. Here is a simple Java interface example: As you can see, an interface is declared using the Java interface keyword. Just like with classes, a Java interface can be declared public or package scope (no access modifier). The interface example above contains one variable and one method. <P> An interface in java is a blueprint of a class. It has static constants and abstract methods only.The interface in java is a mechanism to achieve fully abstraction. There can be only abstract methods in the java interface not method body. It is used to achieve fully abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java. An interface is a collection of abstract methods. A class implements an interface, thereby inheriting the abstract methods of the interface. An interface is not a class. An interface contains behaviors(Abstract Methods) that a class implements. Unless the class that implements the interface is abstract, all the methods of the interface need to be defined in the class.Since multiple inheritance is not allowed in java so interface is only way to implement multiple inheritance. <P> An interface in Java programming language is an abstract type that is used to specify an interface (in the generic sense of the term) that classes must implement. A class that implements an interface must implement all of the methods described in the interface, or be an abstract class. Object references in Java may be specified to be of an interface type; in each case, they must either be null, or be bound to an object that implements the interface. <P> In above example of interface in Java, SessionIDCreator is an interface while SerialSessionIDCreator is a implementation of interface. @Override annotation can be used on interface method from Java 6 onwards, so always try to use it. Its one of those coding practice which should be in your code review checklist. <P> An interface is a reference type in Java, it is similar to class, it is a collection of abstract methods. A class implements an interface, thereby inheriting the abstract methods of the interface. Along with abstract methods an interface may also contain constants, default methods, static methods, and nested types. An interface can contain any number of methods. An interface is written in a file with a .java extension, with the name of the interface matching the name of the file. The byte code of an interface appears in a .class file. <P> 1 An interface can contain any number of methods. 2 In Java you cannot instantiate an interface. 3 An Interface does not contain any constructors. 4 An interface is not extended by a class; it is implemented by a class. 5 An interface can extend multiple interfaces. 1 An interface is just a contract, a description of the behavior an implementing class will have. 2 The implementing class ensures, that it will have these methods that can be used on it. 3 It is basically a contract or a promise the class has to make. <P> An interface is similar to a class in the following ways: An interface can contain any number of methods.

average yield tomatoes per plant
|
<P> The basic reason-- yield. Indeterminate tomatoes can yield 30-40 pounds per plant compared to about 20 pounds per plant from determinates. High tunnel indeterminate tomatoes can grow to be 20 to 30 feet in length. “To support a massive plant like this you need a heavy duty trellising system,” Tom explained. <P> On average, a staked tomato plant will produce an estimated 8 pounds per plant, while plants trained via trellis or cage produce an average estimate of 12 to 20 pounds per plant. Because a determinate tomato plant is more compact and closer to the ground, it needs less support than taller plants. <P> Confidence votes 7.0K. This site is a variety study, where the yield was 5 to 20 pounds per plant. Another article here reflects 6,000 to 8,000 plants per acre with yield average of 40 tons, which is 10 pounds per plant (dependent on variety, weather & soil). Texas Website: 100lbs per 100 feet which is 2 <P> The yield of tomato plants depends in part on the variety. Beefmaster, a slicing tomato, produced almost 10 pounds of fruit in a Washington State University study, while Yellow Perfection, another slicing tomato, produced just under 4 pounds. <P> Grow 6 to 10 plants per person; plant succession crops with each harvest. Yield 4 to 10 pounds per 10-foot row. Space looseleaf lettuce 4 inches apart and all other types 12 inches apart in rows 16 to 24 inches apart. Melon. <P> Average Yield. The typical average yield for hydroponic tomatoes is about 40 pounds per square foot per year. The yield may be less than that if your tomato plants lack the proper care and nutrients. According to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, growers can get 46 to 50 pounds per 1.4 square feet under optimum conditions.

what age should child stop breastfeeding
|
<P> Besides as Sandra said the natural age of weaning is older than 2 and the WHO advises breastfeeding for a minimum of 2 years. It is not ridiculous that your son wants milk at 22 months. I fed my oldest child until 2.5 and am still feeding my 18 month old and plan to keep going as long as I can. <P> The National Board of Pediatrics recommends to breastfeed your child to age 2 for proper brain development. I don't know how true that really is, but I will tell you I have breastfed all 4 of my boys. I nursed my 6 and 3 year old till they were 2 and my 20 month old is still nursing. <P> You cannot force a child to breastfeed so as long as he is feeding, he wants to feed. PLEASE, phone LA LECHE LEAGUE today on 0845 120 2918. They are BRILLIANT and will completely put your mind at rest I PROMISE. Breastfeeding a toddler has MANY health benefits and many emotional ones too. <P> A: Breast milk is the best choice for infants with its perfect balance of nutrients. It is most easily digested, best tolerated, and is all most babies need to grow. Breast feeding has many benefits for both you and the baby. Babies may be protected from gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. <P> The right time to stop is when you and your child want to. The AAP reccomends a minimum of one year, the WHO says a minimum of 2 years. <P> You should stop breastfeeding before the child begins to grow it's first tooth. It is unhealthy and can cause psychological damage to the child if breastfeeding is continued into the child's formative years. posted 10/13/2015 by a BabyCenter Member. Report answer. <P> Yes | No Thank you! The right time to stop is when you and your child want to. The AAP reccomends a minimum of one year, the WHO says a minimum of 2 years. Babies need whole milk until at least the age of 2, and breastmilk is whole milk, if you are still nursing then no other milk is needed. There are many benefits to nursing to 2 years and even longer! You can google extended breastfeeding or child-led weaning and get some info.

<P> In other words, when a power switch is turned on, the electrical circuit is complete and current flows from the positive terminal of the power source, through the wire to the load, and finally to the negative terminal. Source Voltage. Another important concept in regards to electrical circuits, source voltage refers to the amount of voltage that is produced by the power source and applied to the circuit. In other words, source voltage depends on how much electricity a circuit will receive. <P> Current is the rate at which charge flows. Charge will not flow in a circuit unless there is an energy source capable of creating an electric potential difference and unless there is a closed conducting loop through which the charge can move. 2. Current has a direction. By convention, current is in the direction that ___. <P> Most devices that run on electricity contain an electrical circuit; when connected to a source of power, such as being plugged into an electrical outlet, electricity can run through the electrical circuit within the device and then return to the original power source, to continue the flow of electricity. Source Voltage. Another important concept in regards to electrical circuits, source voltage refers to the amount of voltage that is produced by the power source and applied to the circuit. In other words, source voltage depends on how much electricity a circuit will receive. <P> Electric Circuits. An electric circuit is a conducting path, external to the battery, which allows charge to flow from one terminal to the other. A simple circuit might consist of a single strand of metal wire linking the positive and negative terminals. <P> 10 most extreme places on Earth. An electrical circuit is a device that uses electricity to perform a task, such as run a vacuum or power a lamp. The circuit is a closed loop formed by a power source, wires, a fuse, a load, and a switch. Source Voltage. Another important concept in regards to electrical circuits, source voltage refers to the amount of voltage that is produced by the power source and applied to the circuit. In other words, source voltage depends on how much electricity a circuit will receive. <P> Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second. <P> ). An electric circuit with lumped parameters is a circuit in which each of its components can be referred to a single point of the circuit; the processes in such circuits are described by ordinary differential equations. A simple circuit might consist of an electric cell (the power source), two conducting wires (one end of each being attached to each terminal of the cell), and a small lamp (the load) to which the free ends of the wires leading from the cell are attached. <P> This circuit has a power source, a complete path for electrons to flow, and a resistor as the load. An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the source of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the return or earth ground. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's load.

what is wolff-parkinson-white syndrome
|
<P> Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is a condition in which the heart has an extra electrical pathway, also called an accessory pathway. Because of this extra pathway, electrical signals in the heart bypass the normal electrical pathway. The heart has 4 chambers that work like a pump. The atria are the 2 top chambers. <P> In Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, an extra electrical pathway between your heart's upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) causes a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). The extra electrical pathway is present at birth and fairly rare. <P> Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a specific type of abnormality of the electrical system of the heart. This syndrome causes a specific pattern on an electrocardiogram (Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern) and is linked to an episode of rapid heart rates, such as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) or atrial fibrillation. <P> Individuals affected by Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can experience palpitations, rapid heart rates, difficulty breathing, and lightheadedness as well as near loss of consciousness and complete loss of consciousness. For the most part, these symptoms occur all of a sudden and are not associated with warning signs. <P> Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a heart rhythm problem that causes a very fast heart rate. WPW is one type of supraventricular tachycardia called atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT). With WPW, an extra electrical pathway links the upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. <P> Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a heart rhythm problem that causes a very fast heart rate.

what is surrealism art history
|
<P> Surrealism began as a philosophical movement that said the way to find truth in the world was through the subconscious mind and dreams, rather than through logical thought. The movement included many artists, poets, and writers who expressed their theories in their work. 1 Surrealism means above realism. 2 Dadaism didn't mean anything. 3 Dada was supposed to be a nonsense word. 4 The founder of the movement, Andre Breton, originally thought that the visual arts, such as painting and film, wouldn't be useful to the Surrealist movement. <P> Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. However, a striking example of the line used to divide Dada and Surrealism among art experts is the pairing of 1925's Little Machine Constructed by Minimax Dadamax in Person (Von minimax dadamax selbst konstruiertes maschinchen) with The Kiss (Le Baiser) from 1927 by Max Ernst. <P> Although some may think Surrealism is just another art form, it's actually a cultural movement that was expressed through art, literature, and even politics. 1 Surrealist artists used collage. 2 A collage is a work of art created by using images not normally associated with one another. 3 These disparate associations were meant to make the viewer question previous rules of art and popular culture. <P> Definition of Surrealism. Surrealism is any art form stemming from the unconscious mind. It often features strange, hallucinatory visuals or absurd juxtapositions of objects or words. Surrealist artwork can be an object or an idea, and it represents the artist's idea of what that is, based on their own subconscious. <P> View Slideshow View Thumbnails. Surrealism originated in the late 1910s and early '20s as a literary movement that experimented with a new mode of expression called automatic writing, or automatism, which sought to release the unbridled imagination of the subconscious. <P> What makes the surrealist movement unique is their fascination with the unconscious mind. Surrealism rose at the same time as the writings of Sigmund Freud and the artists involved in the movement were highly interested in the ideas of dreams and the subconscious. Surrealism is significant in the history of art. It rose from Dadaism, which was a movement focused on chance and nihilism. Surrealism is any art form stemming from the unconscious mind.

None of the art has a solid answer. In fact, Surrealist art has a few characteristics you may notice: 1 Surrealists art often uses dream imagery to show the inner workings of the mind. 1 Surrealist artists used collage. 2 A collage is a work of art created by using images not normally associated with one another. 3 These disparate associations were meant to make the viewer question previous rules of art and popular culture. <P> Putting psychic life in the service of revolutionary politics, Surrealism publicly challenged vanguard modernism's insistence on 'art for art's sake.' But Surrealism also battled the social institutions-church, state, and family-that regulate the place of women within patriarchy. Meret Oppenheim. Meret Oppenheim was a Swiss artist best-known for her work in Surrealism. A decade into the start of this movement, Oppenheim was invited to join the surrealist exhibition, Salon des Surindependants by Hans Arp and Alberto Giacometti, who were impressed by her work after visiting her studio.

the different types of connective tissue
|
<P> Adipose tissue, more commonly known as fat, is a type of connective tissue. Muscles utilize numerous kinds of connective tissues. Human ears are made of cartilage. A large part of the dermis is made up of dense irregular connective tissue. Pregnant women tend to develop additional deposits of adipose tissue. <P> The two types of cells found in connective tissue include fibrocytes (or fibroblasts) and fat cells, which are fixed cells. Additionally, the extracellular substance separating the cells is made up of three types of fibers, including collagen fibers, reticular fibers and elastic fibers. <P> Connective tissue is one of the four main types of tissue that make up the body. These fibrous groups of cells are found throughout the body and hold together the other types of tissues, including muscles, nerves, and epithelium. <P> Ad. Fat, or adipose tissue, is also considered one of the types of connective tissue. These cells are typically found in close proximity to loose connective tissue. The primary purpose of the adipose cells is to provide storage for fat that the body can use for energy. <P> Dense connective tissue, or collagen, has a much more closely woven matrix than loose connective tissue. The two varieties of this type are called regular and irregular. Tendons and ligaments are considered regular types, with the collagen fibers running parallel to each other to form the structure. <P> Cartilage is a type of supporting connective tissue. Cartilage is a dense connective tissue, consisting of the chondrocyte cells. Cartilage connective tissue includes hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage and elastic cartilage. The fibers in the cartilage connective tissue include collagen and elastic fibers. <P> Bones are a fourth example of connective tissue. Bones are made up of different types of connective tissue, including bone tissue and marrow. Bone tissue is either spongy or compact depending on the organization of the cells and matrix. <P> Specialised connective tissue includes tendons and ligaments, Bone and Cartilage, haemopoetic tissue, blood and adipose tissue. Bone contains Osteocytes, and osteoblasts (osteo-bone) which secrete the type of extracellular matrix material (ECM) that makes up bone. <P> Areolar and reticular tissue are types of loose connective tissue that provide support, as well as fill up unused spaces in the body. Blood, a fluid connective tissue, provides a transport system within our body for oxygen and other important substances.

what kind of creatures a snail
|
<P> The snail is a small to medium sized mollusc that is generally split into three groups which are land snails, sea snails and freshwater snails. Snails that do not have a shell are not snails, but slugs. In order to break down their food, most snails have thousands of microscopic tooth-like structures located on a ribbon-like tongue called a radula. The radula works like a file, ripping the food into small pieces for the hungry snail. Snails are generally herbivores, primarily eating vegetation such as leaves, stems and flowers. Some larger snail species however, are known to be more predatory animals either being omnivores or, in some cases, full-on carnivores. Due to their relatively small size, and slow paced movement, snails are preyed upon by numerous animal species all around the world <P> Snails are at the bottom of most food chains, and near the outside of most food webs, so a lot of creatures like to eat them. Many types of birds—especially water birds such as geese and gulls—like to eat snails. Some snakes eat snails, and so do some types of mammals such as raccoons, which like a meal of snails from time to time. Some people even like to dine on snails. In fact, in the country of France, some types of snails are considered a delicacy —which means something very special and very good to eat <P> Snail is a common name that is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Although land snails may be more familiar to people, marine snails constitute the majority of snail species, and have much greater diversity and a greater biomass. Numerous kinds of snail can also be found in fresh water. <P> Most terrestrial snails could reach several years of age, Roman snails even older than twenty. Only a small part, though, survives until maturity. The eggs of terrestrial snails already are a welcome food to many small animals, including other snails. <P> Snail-like animals that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs. Although land snails may be more familiar to people, marine snails constitute the majority of snail species, and have much greater diversity and a greater biomass. Numerous kinds of snail can also be found in fresh water. <P> Large snails, such as the Roman snail, can defend themselves against ants and other small insects by producing foamy mucus that stops the ants from reaching the snail. But ants usually come in numbers, so they are able to overpower the snail anyway, even at the expense of the one or other worker ant. The eggs of terrestrial snails already are a welcome food to many small animals, including other snails. <P> Some birds, such as snail kites and song thrushes, have special adaptations that help them capture and eat snails; other species only eat snails opportunistically. According to a 2000 issue of “Web Ecology,” many birds depend on snails as a source of dietary calcium. <P> Enemies of Terrestrial Snails. Animals that eat snails can be found in almost every systematic group. Snails usually are quite defenceless and so are welcome sources of protein to many animals. Even those that usually do not eat snails will do so in times of meagre food supply. The eggs of terrestrial snails already are a welcome food to many small animals, including other snails. <P> Snails eat by asserting radula against the leaf rasping it and scraping away particles. This can be observed particularly when feeding a snail. Snails are herbivorous which is why most of their diet comprises plants and vegetation. In the wild, snails are very fond of eating leaves, fruits, mushrooms and other types of vegetation. These animals predominantly feed on living plants; however, they can ingest decaying plants as well. These species also feed on flowers, algae and plant bark.

These foods include fruits such as figs. They will also eat insects and various plant matter. Sumatran orangutans grow to be sizes of 4 - 5 feet in height with females generally being smaller than males. They weigh between 100 - 200 pounds. Sumatran orangutans are generally smaller than their close relatives, Bornean orangutans. <P> Approximately 90% of the diet that an orangutan consumes is fruit. What they will consume depends on their natural habitat as well as the season. They have a preference though for fruits that are full of sugar and that are full of pulp. Orangutan eating a fruit.

Primarily frugivorous, orangutans have an important role as seed dispersers. They selectively choose ripe fruit whose seeds are adapted to withstand passage through the orangutans' gut. As well as acting as seed dispersers, orangutans help to open up the forest canopy. This allows light to reach the forest floor, which helps the forest to regenerate naturally. They are a vital cog in the workings of the rainforest ecosystem. <P> Confidence votes 4.2K.

In humans, this is from the eighth week of gestation. <P> Embryo and fetus are different stages in the human reproduction process. The human life starts when the sperm and ovum (egg) get together to form the fertilized ovum. Fertilized ovum starts to divide and produce more cells. <P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. The difference between a embryo and a fetus is that the fetus is a fully developed embryo and a embryo takes up to 8 weeks to develop into a fetus An embryo is a fertilized egg that turns into a fetus at 8 weeks. <P> Once the embryo reaches the stage of the fetus, the other organs like the liver, brain and kidneys start functioning inside the tiny body. You can also see the tiny differentiation of the fingers and the toes. This is also the time when the external genitalia are visible on an ultrasound. <P> The embryo refers to the first stage of development of a baby from the moment of fertilization. It is called a fetus from the eighth week of conception. There are developmental differences between the two stages and a lot of difference that the mom faces while she is carrying them. The embryo is the first thing you notice when you go for a pregnancy test. <P> An Embryo is the very early stages of development after the egg being fertilised by a sperm and is categorised up until 8 weeks. A Foetus is described as an embryo that has passed through the very early stages of development and is categorised as from 8 weeks up until 23 weeks or further. <P> Like toddler and adolescent, the terms “embryo” and “fetus” do not refer to nonhumans but to humans at particular stages of development. Human beings inside the womb are smaller, less developed, and more dependent than human beings outside the womb. These are differences of degree, not differences of kind. <P> Embryo vs Fetus. Embryo and fetus are different stages in the human reproduction process. The human life starts when the sperm and ovum (egg) get together to form the fertilized ovum. Fertilized ovum starts to divide and produce more cells.

<P> For other uses, see Fairy (disambiguation) . A fairy (also fay, fae, fair folk; from faery, faerie, realm of the fays ) is a type of mythical being or legendary creature in European folklore, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural. The concept of fairy in the narrow sense is unique to English folklore, conflating Germanic elves with influences from Celtic and Romance (French) folklores, and later made diminutive according to the tastes of Victorian era fairy tales for children. <P> 1 Ikiryph-in Japanese lore, an evil spirit created by a person's bad thoughts and feelings. 2 Jack-in-irons-in English folklore, a tall ghost in chains that haunts the roads of Yorkshire. 3 Jack-o-lantern-in British lore, a wandering ghost seen as a light that, if followed, will cause a person to become lost. 1 Kere-in Greek folklore, the spirit of a dead person that bothers the living. 2 Knocker-in Cornwallish folklore, a spirit that dwells in mines and can either be a help or hindrance. 3 Kobold-in Germanic lore, a spirit that can be pesky or even malevolant. <P> 1 Control-the spirit of someone who has died that acts as a go-between for a psychic medium and the spirit realm. 2 Dames blanches-in French folklore, female spirits that live near caves. 3 Deogen-in Belgian lore, a ghost whose shape is seen as a fog that haunts the Sonian Forest accompanied by lesser shadow ghosts. 1 Kere-in Greek folklore, the spirit of a dead person that bothers the living. 2 Knocker-in Cornwallish folklore, a spirit that dwells in mines and can either be a help or hindrance. 3 Kobold-in Germanic lore, a spirit that can be pesky or even malevolant. <P> The name poltergeist is derived from the German Polter (rumble) + Geist (spirit). Tuyul. Tuyul or toyol is a spirit in the mythology of South-East Asia that includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. A tuyul is a small child spirit invoked by a shaman or witch doctor from a dead human foetus. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The term Holy Ghost was used in the King James Version of the Bible and was the common name for the Holy Spirit in English before the 20th century. <P> 1 Bhut-in Indian lore, usually an evil ghost of a dead man who died through tragedy or execution (aka bhoot). 2 Black shuck-in British lore, a large, black, spectral dog that portends death. 3 Bogey-in English folklore, evil spirits that travel alone or together to do mischief. 1 Kere-in Greek folklore, the spirit of a dead person that bothers the living. 2 Knocker-in Cornwallish folklore, a spirit that dwells in mines and can either be a help or hindrance. 3 Kobold-in Germanic lore, a spirit that can be pesky or even malevolant. <P> One of the most well-known aspects of Japanese folklore is the oni, which has traits of demons and ogres, usually depicted with red, blue, brown or black skin, two horns on its head, a wide mouth filled with fangs, and wearing nothing but a tigerskin loincloth. It often carries an iron kanabo or a giant sword. It carries the meanings of monster, ghost, or spirit, and the literal meaning is the spirit of a thing or strange thing. This word is used to blame any unexplainable event on, and both inanimate objects and spirits of humans and other creatures can be called mononoke. <P> List of Demons, Devils, Tricksters and other Evil Spirits. This section is a study in the world of perceptions of evil beings.. Throughout these pages, you'll find descriptions of different demons.. I realize that some of these demons can be considered gods or mythological beings. <P> A demon is an evil spirit, or devil, in the ordinary English usage of the term. This definition is, however, only approximate. In polytheistic religions the line between gods and demons is a shifting one: there are both good demons and gods who do evil. <P> 1 Knocker-in Cornwallish folklore, a spirit that dwells in mines and can either be a help or hindrance. 2 Kobold-in Germanic lore, a spirit that can be pesky or even malevolant. 3 Konakijijii-in Japanese folklore, the ghost of a baby left for dead in a forest. 1 Kere-in Greek folklore, the spirit of a dead person that bothers the living. 2 Knocker-in Cornwallish folklore, a spirit that dwells in mines and can either be a help or hindrance. 3 <P> In the Jerusalem Talmud notions of shedim (demons or evil spirits) are almost unknown or occur only very rarely. As opposed to this, in the Babylon Talmud there are many references to shedim (demons or evil spirits) and magical incantations. As referring to the existence or non-existence of shedim (Hebr. for demons, spirits) there are converse opinions in Judaism. There are practically nil roles assigned to demons in the Jewish Bible.

when is the most expensive time to use electricity
|
<P> Energy-conscious customers can save money if you use electricity during off-peak periods when costs are lower. Our Time-of-Use program is designed to encourage customers to reduce electricity use during peak hours. Under the program, you will be charged for electricity depending on when you use it. The rates are lowest on off-peak periods: weekends, holidays, and weekdays from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m., when usage and the cost of electricity are low. See if they have different rates for peak hours, or ask if they have a time-of-use plan where you can save money by using off-peak hours. The next way is to check your bill. There might be two separate rates for electricity which could indicate peak and off-peak rates. <P> Data released today by the BLS indicates that the electricity price indexes hit all-time highs for the month of December and for the year. 2014 was the most-expensive year ever for electricity in the United States. <P> Clothes dryers can be one of the most expensive home appliances to operate, using approximately 6 percent of a home's total electricity usage. Unlike other appliances, clothes dryers don't vary much from brand to brand and model to model in the amount of energy used. <P> The price for electricity can vary from day to day and even by hour. You can find out when electricity is cheaper by examining the energy market. When consumer demand for energy is low, you will see the best energy prices. Seasonally, this falls during the spring and fall months when temperatures are mild. During summer and winter, energy use increases due to heating and cooling needs, causing higher electricity rates. Some energy suppliers offer time-of-use plans that charge you based on the time of day you use electricity. Lower rates are available during off-peak hours and higher rates are charged during peak hours for the energy market. If you typically work during the day, you can eliminate large amounts of electricity use by unplugging your devices. Plug them in only during the late evening when energy is cheapest and you are home to use them. Be sure to check with your supplier about whether one of these types of plans is available in your area. <P> By Saving Energy, You Save Money Time-of-use pricing better reflects the true cost of power. That’s because you are charged more for electricity when it is more expensive to produce. As a result, time-of-use encourages you to use power when rates are cheapest – during off-peak hours. Time-of-use (TOU) Prices. The vast majority of Ontario electricity users pay time-of-use prices. If you’ve signed an electricity contract with a company, these prices will not affect you. There are three time-of-use price periods: 1 Off-peak, when demand for electricity is lowest. 2 Ontario households use the majority of their electricity – nearly two thirds of it – during off-peak hours. 3 Mid-peak, when demand for electricity is moderate <P> If your house has electric heat, you’ll see a big spike on your electricity bill in the middle of winter when you use a lot of power. If you have a heat pump and use it a lot, you may run it somewhere between 10 and 15 hours a day. If your electricity costs 10 cents an hour, that could cost you $15 to $22 a day. The same applies to homes with central air conditioning in the middle of summer. To save money, install a programmable thermostat and set it back at least 10 degrees for eight hours a day. <P> Electricity pricing (sometimes referred to as electricity tariff or the price of electricity) varies widely from country to country, and may vary significantly from locality to locality within a particular country. There are many reasons that account for these differences in price. The price also differs from the source of the electricity. In the U.S. in 2002, the cost of electricity by different sources is listed below: Coal: 1-4 cents; Gas: 2.3-5.0 cents; Oil: 6-8 cents; Wind: 5-7 cents; Nuclear: 6-7 cents; Solar: 25-50 cents. <P> Refrigerators are big-time energy hogs because they use electricity all the time, in many cases for 10 hours or more every day. That comes to about $1 a day, which you can double if you have a second refrigerator. If your electricity costs 10 cents an hour, that could cost you $15 to $22 a day. The same applies to homes with central air conditioning in the middle of summer. To save money, install a programmable thermostat and set it back at least 10 degrees for eight hours a day. <P> If your house has electric heat, then the middle of winter is a time when you are going to use a lot of power. A heat pump might run 10 to 15 hours a day. At $1.50 an hour, that's $15 to $22 per day. Over the course of a month, that's several hundred dollars worth of electricity. The same applies in the summer if you use the air conditioner a lot.

how many btu needed to cook a steak
|
<P> On average, you should look for approximately 100 Btu per square inch of primary cooking space. Generally, the larger the grill, the more Btu are required to reach a similar temperature. wildflower · 4 years ago. Answers. Best Answer: As a good friend in the heavy equipment business used to tell me, you can do a little job with a big bulldozer but you can't do a big job with a little bulldozer! I would say anything you are going to use on a regular basis shouldn't be much smaller than 40,000 btu's or so. <P> BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the traditional unit of energy. The heat value of fuels and the heating power of gas grills can be expressed in terms of BTU. It can be defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of 1 atmosphere. This unit of measurement helps us to compare the heat content of different types of fuel. <P> Summer kicks off the grilling season in many parts of North America, and while a gas grill is a home appliance of sorts, it's nowhere as easy to purchase as a toaster or a blender. On the one hand, you could spend as little as $68 for this two-burner gas grill at Walmart (with in-store pickup, a low by $107). <P> But there are some magic numbers to look for. For a standard gas grill, look for about 80 to 100 BTUs per square inch, and 60 to 80 for an infrared grill like the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Commercial 2-Burner Gas Grill ($215.20 with in-store pickup, a low by $54), which uses radiant heat. Once again, this supposes that the grill you buy is efficient and well made. On the one hand, you could spend as little as $68 for this two-burner gas grill at Walmart (with in-store pickup, a low by $107). <P> How many BTU do you need? The rule was once 100 Btu per square inch of main cooking area. This rule no longer applies because modern gas grills are now becoming more and more efficient at holding heat. One thing you should know is that the temperature a gas grill can attain is not influence by the BTU rating alone. It can be defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of 1 atmosphere. This unit of measurement helps us to compare the heat content of different types of fuel. <P> For a standard gas grill, look for about 80 to 100 BTUs per square inch, and 60 to 80 for an infrared grill like the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Commercial 2-Burner Gas Grill ($215.20 with in-store pickup, a low by $54), which uses radiant heat. Once again, this supposes that the grill you buy is efficient and well made. Something as basic as a grill cover will protect your investment from the elements, and a solid warranty is your best protection against heartbreak at the height of grilling season. As for a sweet spot in terms of price, consider spending about $300 to $500, though you can find quality grills for under $250. <P> How Many BTUs: In the old days, 100 BTUs per square inch was probably on the low side. These days, grills are more efficiently designed and typically don't need as high an output. For a standard gas grill I recommend looking at how the lid fits to the body. If it is a close fit and the components, like the cooking grates, are heavy the grill should heat hot and fat with a BTU rating of 80 to 100 per square inch. For an infrared grill, the same rules apply but the BTUs should be more in the 60 to 80 range. Of course grills are going to be all over the scale but if you look in these ranges you are probably going to find a gas grill that does its job. <P> The term BTUs will be thrown at you when you begin your grill shopping. Don't panic. The anagram stands for British Thermal Unit and indicates how much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. So if you choose a propane grill, propane has about 15,000 BTUs per pound. If you are considering charcoal, think 9,000 BTUs per pound and pellets about 8,500. A 30,000 BTU gas grill emits 30,000 BTUs in one hour, or about two pounds of propane an hour. BTU's do not indicate how quickly a grill will heat up, but can indicate how much fuel you will be using while you cook. <P> It also contains more cooking energy than natural gas as measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water 1°F. There are about 2,500 BTU in one cubic foot of propane and only about 1,000 BTU in one cubic foot of natural gas. Manufacturers tout the number of BTU their grills can produce, but the number can be very misleading

what does are bodies use vitamin A for
|
<P> Basically, your body needs vitamins in order to work properly, and it needs different vitamins to help perform specific activities like produce energy, protect cells from damage, guide mineral utilization, and regulate cell and tissue growth. <P> Inside the body, vitamins are used in many unique ways. For example, one of vitamin A's main roles is in the production of retinal. Retinal is used within the rods and cones in your eyes to sense light. There is no way for your body to produce retinal without vitamin A, and without retinal you cannot see. The body is able to store some vitamins, such as vitamin A (up to a year's supply is stored in your liver). Other vitamins need to be re-supplied frequently. 1 Vitamins. 2 Prenatal Vitamins. 3 How Vitamin A Works. <P> Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in organs such as the liver. Most of the vitamin A that we consume goes to the liver to be stored until it is needed by another part of the body. The form of vitamin A found in fruits and vegetables is known as carotenoids. The most common type of carotenoid is-carotene (beta carotene). These carotenoids are used to build the type of vitamin A used by our body. Vitamin A is important to vision and the growth of the bones <P> Beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A. The body needs to convert it to retinol or vitamin A for use. Beta-carotene is found naturally in mostly orange and dark green plant foods, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, mangos, and kale. Retinol is sometimes called “true” vitamin A because it is nearly ready for the body to use. Retinol is found in such animal foods as liver, eggs, and fatty fish. It also can be found in many fortified foods, such as breakfast cereals, and in dietary supplements. <P> Overview. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You have to get what you need from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli, and tomatoes. You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. <P> Since this is the form of vitamin A used by the body, it is added to our stores of vitamin A right away. On the other hand, beta carotene is derived from plant foods and needs to be converted by the body into retinoids before it can be used. The form of vitamin A found in fruits and vegetables is known as carotenoids. The most common type of carotenoid is-carotene (beta carotene). These carotenoids are used to build the type of vitamin A used by our body. Vitamin A is important to vision and the growth of the bones <P> Cancel. Vitamin A is a group of different compounds that helps the body fight infection, improve vision and maintain skin health. Discover the benefits of vitamin A with tips from a licensed dietitian in this free video on nutrition. Part of the Video Series: Nutrition Tips. <P> Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction. Vitamin A also helps the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs work properly. 1 Some types of fish, such as salmon. 2 Green leafy vegetables and other green, orange, and yellow vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, and squash. 3 Fruits, including cantaloupe, apricots, and mangos. 4 Dairy products, which are among the major sources of vitamin A for Americans.

<P> share the love. Dogfish Head Brown Honey Rum is a double-distilled, amber rum made with Delaware wildflower honey and aged on American oak chips. Dark and smooth, this rum has a subtle woody character from the oak aging and a touch of sweetness from the honey. <P> More often, this sort of rum is used in cocktails or in cooking. Honey rum is often used in baking, particularly desserts, but is also popular in more savory meat and vegetable dishes. Rum is a common marinade, and can also be used in a number of cooking and braising recipes. <P> Ronmiel de Canarias means Honey Rum from the Canaries, and that is exactly what it is. Ronmiel de Canarias is a honey flavoured rum from the Canary Islands. This particular Spanish alcohol is one of the Islands' signature products for both production and consumption. <P> Honey rum is traditional rum that made with the addition of honey. The honey can come from several sources. Honey being one obviously. Generally honey rum has a lower alcohol content, about 20%. Much like other flavoured rums (Malibu coconut rum for example). <P> Seven year old rum is blended with natural honey from the surrounding islands to create an exquisite natural flavour combination. Enjoy it on its own or in multitude of exciting mixed drinks and cocktails in which Ron Miel Honey Rum acts as a natural substitute for man-made sugars and liqueurs. <P> Honey rum is an alcoholic beverage made from cane sugar that is flavored or mixed with honey. Commercial honey rum production is most common in the Canary Islands, where rum is believed to have originated. Rum is typically a very sweet drink to start with, but the addition of honey makes it smoother.

<P> The atmosphere has a mass of about 5.15 × 10 kg, three quarters of which is within about 11 km (6.8 mi; 36,000 ft) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. The Karman kármán, line at 100 (km 62), mi or.157 % Of'earth s, radius is often used as the border between the atmosphere and outer. Space atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft at an altitude of around 120 (km 75). mi <P> The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere (i.e. the upper limit of the atmosphere). It extends from the exobase, which is located at the top of the thermosphere at an altitude of about 700 km above sea level, to about 10,000 km (6,200 mi; 33,000,000 ft).

Space atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft at an altitude of around 120 (km 75). mi <P> The general concepts found in this section are: 1 The earth's atmosphere is a very thin layer wrapped around a very large planet. 2 Two gases make up the bulk of the earth's atmosphere: nitrogen (), which comprises 78% of the atmosphere, and oxygen (), which accounts for 21%. 1 The earth's atmosphere is a very thin layer wrapped around a very large planet. 2 Two gases make up the bulk of the earth's atmosphere: nitrogen (), which comprises 78% of the atmosphere, and oxygen (), which accounts for 21%. 3 Various trace gases make up the remainder <P> Oxygen is the most abundant element in rocks in Earth's crust, composing roughly 47 percent of the weight of all rock. The second most abundant element is silicon at 27 percent, followed by aluminum at 8 percent, iron at 5 percent, calcium at 4 percent, and sodium, potassium, and magnesium at about 2 percent each. Geologists think the temperature of Earth's outer core is about 6,700 to 7,800 degrees F (3,700 to 4,300 degrees C), and the inner core may reach 12,600 degrees F (7,000 degrees C), hotter than the surface of the sun. Only the enormous pressures found at the super-hot inner core keep it solid. <P> 26. Trace. 5. Trace. The percentages are percent by mass of the indicated elements.

what is a gnostic
|
<P> Answer: There is actually no such thing as Christian Gnosticism, because true Christianity and Gnosticism are mutually exclusive systems of belief. The principles of Gnosticism contradict what it means to be a Christian. <P> Gnosticism. Gnosticism (after gnosis, gnôsis The greek word for knowledge or) insight is the name given to a loosely organized religious and philosophical movement that flourished in the first and second CENTURIES. ce <P> The word, gnosticism, comes from the Greek word, gnosis, which means knowledge.. There were many groups that were Gnostic, and it isn't possible to easily describe the nuances of each variant of Gnostic doctrines. <P> Definition: Gnosticism was a second century heresy claiming that salvation could be gained through secret knowledge. Gnosticism is derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning to know.. Gnostics also believed that the material world (matter) is evil and that only the spirit is good. <P> Gnosticism. Gnosticism is a heresy which is made up of a diverse set of beliefs. It is the teaching based on the idea of gnosis (a Koine Greek word meaning secret knowledge), or knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of internal, intuitive means. <P> Gnostic Christianity is a Way of Life based on the original teachings of Jesus Christ. A gnostic is a person who believes that salvation is gained through the acquisition of divine knowledge or gnosis. Gnostic Christians believe that the knowledge necessary for salvation has been revealed through <P> In Gnosticism, the world of the demiurge is represented by the underworld, which is associated with matter, flesh, time and, more particularly, an imperfect, ephemeral world.

how old does a puppy have to be to be given heartworm medicine
|
<P> In less severe cases, the dog may be treated for two months with a heartworm preventive to kill any migrating heartworm larvae. Then an injection of melarsomine is given to kill the adult heartworms. Four weeks later, the dog is treated with two more injections of the adulticide. <P> Ask your veterinarian about heartworm prevention. Preventive treatment should begin at 6 or 8 weeks of age in puppies and after tests have been conducted in older dogs to determine if your dog has already been infected. An annual blood test should be run to confirm the dog continues to be negative for heartworms. <P> Mosquitoes generally carry heartworm larvae and transmit them to pets through bites. Although most pets are required to undergo a heartworm blood test before they’re given any preventive medications, pets that are 6 to 8 weeks of age don’t have to do this test in order to take the medication. <P> Heartworm disease is only spread through the bite of a mosquito. Inside a dog, a heartworm’s lifespan is five to seven years. Adult heartworms look like strands of cooked spaghetti, with males reaching about 4 to 6 inches in length and females reaching about 10 to 12 inches in length. The number of worms living inside an infected dog is called the worm burden. <P> Tips for Pet Owners. If you live in an area where the mosquito population is high, you must start giving your puppy the heartworm medication as soon as possible. Interceptor is one such medication that can be given to puppies that are 4 weeks old, provided that they weigh over 2 pounds. <P> Some heartworm preventives can be given to puppies as young as 4 weeks of age, and kittens at 6 weeks of age. Consult with your veterinarian and consider the preventive you choose. Pay close attention to the medication's label and follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

do eukaryotic cells go through meiosis
|
<P> Mitosis is the process of cell division in somatic cells to make 2 identical diploid cells. ItMeiosis is a process of cell division that creates 4 haploid cells that are not c … ompletely identical. Meiosis creates sex cells or gametes. <P> In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half, to produce haploid gametes (meiosis). <P> Meiosis. Meiosis is the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces haploid sex cells or gametes (which contain a single copy of each chromosome) from diploid cells (which contain two copies of each chromosome). Mitosis. Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Chromosomes replicated during the S phase are divided in such a way as to ensure that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome. <P> In eukaryotes -- including humans -- almost all cell division includes mitosis. Certain specialized cells called germ cells can also divide replicated DNA through meiosis, which results in specialized cells containing only one copy of each chromosome. Most cells have two copies of each. Eukaryotes are organisms which have cells containing membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, do not have such compartments. Therefore, cell division occurs somewhat differently in prokaryotes. <P> Only eukaryotic organisms, or those whose cells contain nuclei, undergo mitosis. Eukaryotic organisms include animals, plants, fungi, and others (traditionally called protista). Bacterial cells, which lack nuclei and are classified as prokaryotic, divide through a different process, called binary fission. During mitosis, a eukaryotic nucleus that has already replicated its chromosomes splits into two identical daughter nuclei. Importantly, mitosis does not include the splitting, or cytokinesis, of the parent cell into two daughter cells; muscle cells, for example, usually contain many nuclei. <P> Meiosis: Half the Chromosomes. Eukaryotic organisms that sexually reproduce have a specialized set of cells that undergo meiosis rather than mitosis. In meiosis, the parent cell splits into four daughter cells, or gametes, each of which has half as many chromosomes as the parent. During mitosis, a eukaryotic nucleus that has already replicated its chromosomes splits into two identical daughter nuclei. Importantly, mitosis does not include the splitting, or cytokinesis, of the parent cell into two daughter cells; muscle cells, for example, usually contain many nuclei. <P> Mitosis is the part of cell division in which replicated DNA is separated into the two halves of a dividing cell. Eukaryotes are organisms which have cells containing membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, do not have such compartments. Therefore, cell division occurs somewhat differently in prokaryotes. <P> Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. <P> Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a nuclear membrane surrounding their cellular DNA, so cell division is happens differently than in eukaryotes. Even though the cell does not undergo mitosis, the end result is the same. Eukaryotes are organisms which have cells containing membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, do not have such compartments. Therefore, cell division occurs somewhat differently in prokaryotes.

what is poetry called
|
<P> Nature of poetry. Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does. From these we get three English words: poet (the creator), poesy (the creation) and poem (the created). A poet is therefore one who creates and poetry is what the poet creates. The underlying concept of the poet as creator is not uncommon. <P> Punctuation : Cadence or pace in poetry is influenced by the rhythm of the words, but it is also influenced by the amount and kind of punctuation. The general rule: the more punctuation, the slower the poem will read. Punctuation is not the only factor influencing a reader’s pace, but it is an important influence. A mark of punctuation that comes within the line itself is called a caesura. Caesuras cause the reader to pause or stop in the middle of a line, providing a clear break in thought or slowing the pace of the poem. <P> Term: Form. Form, in poetry, can be understood as the physical structure of the poem: the length of the lines, their rhythms, their system of rhymes and repetition. In this sense, it is normally reserved for the type of poem where these features have been shaped into a pattern, especially a familiar pattern. <P> In addition to the forms of rhyme, alliteration and rhythm that structure much poetry, sound plays a more subtle role in even free verse poetry in creating pleasing, varied patterns and emphasising or sometimes even illustrating semantic elements of the poem. From these we get three English words: poet (the creator), poesy (the creation) and poem (the created). A poet is therefore one who creates and poetry is what the poet creates. The underlying concept of the poet as creator is not uncommon. <P> Epic poetry is a genre of poetry, and a major form of narrative literature. This genre is often defined as lengthy poems concerning events of a heroic or important nature to the culture of the time. It recounts, in a continuous narrative, the life and works of a heroic or mythological person or group of persons. Light poetry, or light verse, is poetry that attempts to be humorous. Poems considered light are usually brief, and can be on a frivolous or serious subject, and often feature word play, including puns, adventurous rhyme and heavy alliteration. <P> Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Light poetry, or light verse, is poetry that attempts to be humorous. Poems considered light are usually brief, and can be on a frivolous or serious subject, and often feature word play, including puns, adventurous rhyme and heavy alliteration. <P> Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used. The interactive layering of all these effects to generate meaning is what marks poetry. From these we get three English words: poet (the creator), poesy (the creation) and poem (the created). A poet is therefore one who creates and poetry is what the poet creates. The underlying concept of the poet as creator is not uncommon. <P> A line is a unit of language into which a poem or play is divided, which operates on principles which are distinct from and not necessarily coincident with grammatical structures, such as the sentence or clauses in sentences. <P> Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Light poetry, or light verse, is poetry that attempts to be humorous. Poems considered light are usually brief, and can be on a frivolous or serious subject, and often feature word play, including puns, adventurous rhyme and heavy alliteration.

what is the value of the bond at its issue date
|
<P> Par value, also known as Face value, is the value of the bond at maturity. Almost all bonds have a $1,000 par value. Bond prices are almost always quoted as a percentage of par, so you will hear prices such as 99 or 101.5. These refer to the percentage of $1,000, and mean $990 and $1,015 per bond respectively. <P> In this case: a $500 coupon divided by the $10,500 face value, for a yield to maturity of 4.76%. In this way, a bond’s coupon and its actual yield are not necessarily the same. <P> A bond is issued with a stated value, known as the par, or face, value. This is the value at which the bond will be bought back by the issuer upon its maturity. Though there are exceptions to the rule, most bonds are issued with a $1,000 par value. <P> Zero Coupon Bonds are issued at a discount and mature at Par ($1,000). The value of the bond increases mathematically by a slight amount every day during the life of the bond. The mathematical value of the bond on a given day is its accreted value (or accumulated value to date). <P> For example, if a $1,000 par value bond has a 5% coupon rate, each year the holder of that bond will earn 5% of $1,000, or $50 (0.05 x $1,000 = $50). Yield-to-maturity is the yield calculation used to compare the values of bonds with different issue and maturity dates, coupon rates, and par values. <P> For example if a bond is issued when prevailing interest rates are 5% at $1,000 par value with a 5% annual coupon, it will generate $50 of cash flows per year to the bondholder. The bondholder would be indifferent to purchasing the bond or saving the same money at the prevailing interest rate. <P> Shorthand reference to 1%. In the context of a “bond,” a “point” means $10, since a “bond” with this reference means $1,000 (no matter what the actual denominations of the bonds of the issue). An issue or a security that is “discounted two points” is quoted at 98% of its par value. <P> 1 Maturity date is the date on which the bond will mature and the bond issuer will pay the bond holder the face value of the bond. 2 Issue price is the price at which the bond issuer originally sells the bonds.

what is powdered mustard
|
<P> English mustard is an extremely hot powdered mustard containing ground mustards seeds, flour and tumeric. The most well-known brand is Colman's. Season: available year-round. <P> The whole, ground, cracked, or bruised mustard seeds are mixed with water, salt, lemon juice, or other liquids, and sometimes other flavorings and spices, to create a paste or sauce ranging in color from bright yellow to dark brown. The tastes range from sweet to spicy. Honey mustard is a blend of mustard and honey, typically 1:1. It is commonly used both on sandwiches, and as a dip for finger foods such as chicken strips. It can also be combined with vinegar or olive oil to make a salad dressing. <P> Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of a mustard plant (white or yellow mustard, Sinapis alba; brown or Indian mustard, Brassica juncea; or black mustard, B. nigra). Honey mustard is a blend of mustard and honey, typically 1:1. It is commonly used both on sandwiches, and as a dip for finger foods such as chicken strips. It can also be combined with vinegar or olive oil to make a salad dressing. <P> Powdered mustard is simply finely ground mustard seed. Originally mustard was called Sinapis. Some claim that during Roman times the word Sinapis started to be replaced by words such as Mustum, Mustarum, and Mustardum as new wine, or Must was mixed with mustard seeds to make a paste. White and brown seeds are blended to make English mustard. Brown mustard seeds are similar in size to the black variety and vary in color from light to dark brown and are more pungent than the white, less than the black. <P> There may be. The mustard processors of the world have not yet settled on a definitive naming scheme for their products. Theoretically dry mustard and powdered mustard and ground mustard are the same thing. You might find some variation in the fineness or coarseness of the grind. <P> Dry mustard is used in food preparation, and can be mixed with water to use as a condiment. In its dry form, powdered mustard lacks potency; the addition of water releases the pungent compounds. Honey mustard is a blend of mustard and honey, typically 1:1. It is commonly used both on sandwiches, and as a dip for finger foods such as chicken strips. It can also be combined with vinegar or olive oil to make a salad dressing. <P> There are two major types of mustard seed: white (or yellow) and brown (Asian), A third species, the black mustard seed, has been replaced for most purposes by the brown species because the latter can be grown and harvested more economically. White and brown seeds are blended to make English mustard. Brown mustard seeds are similar in size to the black variety and vary in color from light to dark brown and are more pungent than the white, less than the black. <P> More on Dry Mustard. Dry mustard is found in the spice isle of your grocery store where you are generally given three choices: black, brown (dark yellow color, used to make Dijon mustard) or white (light yellow color, used to make American mustard) with taste intensity decreasing along with the drop in color intensity. Dry mustard is most often used in adding mustard flavor to vegetables and meats. Dry mustard is also used in pickling where it is prepared by adding vinegar and water. <P> A nswer : Dry mustard is simply ground mustard seeds which are derived from the mustard plant, a vegetable plant related to the brussels sprout and broccoli plants. Dry mustard is most often used in adding mustard flavor to vegetables and meats. Dry mustard is also used in pickling where it is prepared by adding vinegar and water. <P> However, if the amount of prepared mustard called for in the recipe is 1/4 cup or more, it's contributing to the volume, so you may need to increase one of the other ingredients of a similar consistency to make up the difference. For more ingredient substitutions, see our alphabetized Ingredient Substitutions chart. In most cases you can use 1 tablespoon of prepared mustard in place of 1 teaspoon dried mustard.

what does styx mean
|
<P> According to some versions, Styx had miraculous powers and could make someone invulnerable. According to one tradition, Achilles was dipped in the waters of the river by his mother during his childhood, acquiring invulnerability, with exception of his heel, by which his mother held him. In classical myths, she was wife to Pallas and bore him Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia (and sometimes Eos). In those myths, Styx supported Zeus in the Titanomachy, where she was said to be the first to rush to his aid and for this reason her name was given the honor of being a binding oath for the deities. <P> I love Styx, I have since Paradise Theater came out in 1980. I think Tommy Shaw is using the boat on the river as metaphor for the feeling of serenity that he gets from being high. Generally, I don't like drug songs but we need to keep this song in the context of other Styx songs like Lights and Snowblind. <P> The Styx is a river in Greek mythology that formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld. The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which is also sometimes called the Styx. The important rivers of the underworld are Lethe, Eridanos, and Alpheus. The gods were bound by the Styx and swore oaths on it. The reason for this is during the Titan war, Styx, the goddess of the river Styx, sided with Zeus. <P> Styx. name (from the Greek verb signifying to abhor) of the principal river of the nether world, which it flows sluggishly round seven times; is properly the river of death, which all must cross to enter the unseen world, and of which, in the Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman. The important rivers of the underworld are Lethe, Eridanos, and Alpheus. The gods were bound by the Styx and swore oaths on it. The reason for this is during the Titan war, Styx, the goddess of the river Styx, sided with Zeus. <P> The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which sometimes, also is called the Styx.

In those myths, Styx supported Zeus in the Titanomachy, where she was said to be the first to rush to his aid and for this reason her name was given the honor of being a binding oath for the deities. <P> • RIVER STYX (noun). The noun RIVER STYX has 1 sense: 1. (Greek mythology) a river in Hades across which Charon carried dead souls. Familiarity information: RIVER STYX used as a noun is very rare. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The river of Styx is the river of deceit, hate, and other negative feelings and this river was the border between Earth and the Underworld. And you can say the band Styx relates to that because they are a rock band and back in the 70s, older people called rock music devil music.. But according to this site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx_(band)... the band chose the name Styx because it was the only name they didn't dislike. here you go love found what you were asking about :)las08 In Greek mythology, the River Styx (Greek: στύξ also meaning hate, detest) was a river which formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (Hades). <P> According to Herodotus the river Styx originates near Feneos. Styx also is a goddess with prehistoric roots in Greek mythology as a daughter of Tethys, after whom the river is named and because of whom it had miraculous powers. In classical myths, she was wife to Pallas and bore him Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia (and sometimes Eos). In those myths, Styx supported Zeus in the Titanomachy, where she was said to be the first to rush to his aid and for this reason her name was given the honor of being a binding oath for the deities. <P> Lyrics Dennis DeYoung wrote specifically about his relationship while moving in and out of concert performance touring with his wife Suzanne DeYoung. The group Styx had become a very commercial act beginning around 1976-1978 and this complicated young Dennis' recent marriage with Suzanne. The piece Babe was written specifically about the periods of time he was away from Suzanne. That he would always love her and come back to her. The only true meaning is what the composer himself, Dennis DeYoung, and his wife, Suzanne DeYoung the target audience, hold in their chest. This is a song for them and them only. It is a piece written about unwavering love. Of struggle with physical distance separation but an eternally strong bond.

<P> NTP-Normal Temperature and Pressure. NTP is commonly used as a standard condition for testing and documentation of fan capacities: 1 NTP-Normal Temperature and Pressure-is defined as air at 20oC (293.15 K, 68oF) and 1 atm (101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 29.92 in Hg, 407 in H2O, 760 torr). Note that the earlier IUAPC definition of STP to 273.15 K and 1 atm (1.01325 105 Pa) is discontinued. 1 Pa = 10-6 N/mm2 = 10-5 bar = 0.1020 kp/m2 = 1.02x10-4 m H2O = 9.869x10-6 atm = 1.45x10-4 psi (lbf/in2). Standard volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4 liters. <P> In aeronautics and fluid dynamics the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is a specification of pressure, temperature, density, and speed of sound at each altitude. The International Standard Atmosphere is representative of atmospheric conditions at mid latitudes. In the last five to six decades, professionals and scientists using the metric system of units defined the standard reference conditions of temperature and pressure for expressing gas volumes as being 15 °C (288.15 K; 59.00 °F) and 101.325 kPa (1.00 atm; 760 Torr). <P> The normal boiling point (also called the atmospheric boiling point or the atmospheric pressure boiling point) of a liquid is the special case in which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the defined atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere. It also has the lowest normal boiling point (−24.2 °C), which is where the vapor pressure curve of methyl chloride (the blue line) intersects the horizontal pressure line of one atmosphere (atm) of absolute vapor pressure. <P> NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi, 1 atm). The International Standard Metric Conditions for natural gas and similar fluids are 288.15 K (15.00 °C; 59.00 °F) and 101.325 kPa. In the last five to six decades, professionals and scientists using the metric system of units defined the standard reference conditions of temperature and pressure for expressing gas volumes as being 15 °C (288.15 K; 59.00 °F) and 101.325 kPa (1.00 atm; 760 Torr). <P> Boiling Point. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. For water, the vapor pressure reaches the standard sea level atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg at 100°C. For variations in atmospheric pressure with altitude according to the barometric formula, the boiling point at a height of m = ft above sea level (atmos. pressure mmHg). would be approximately °C. Notes: This calculation assumes an air temperature of 20°C and an average air molecule mass of 29 amu. <P> Atmospheric temperature range is the numerical difference between the minimum and maximum values of temperature observed in a given location during a period of time (e.g., in a given day, month, year, century) or the average (average of all temperature ranges in a period of time). The average temperature range is 5.7 degrees only. Temperature variation along the year in Aracaju is very damped (standard deviation of 1.93 for the maximum temperature and 2.72 for the minimum temperature). <P> If the compound's normal boiling point is higher, then that compound can exist as a liquid or solid at that given temperature at atmospheric external pressure, and will so exist in equilibrium with its vapor (if volatile) if its vapors are contained. It also has the lowest normal boiling point (−24.2 °C), which is where the vapor pressure curve of methyl chloride (the blue line) intersects the horizontal pressure line of one atmosphere (atm) of absolute vapor pressure. <P> Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point.

what type of schooling is needed to be a veterinary technician
|
<P> Degree Programs. Veterinary technicians and veterinary technologists have the option to complete two-year and four-year degrees, respectively, though a degree is not required in some states. The two-year program is offered by community colleges under program names such as animal science or veterinary science.. <P> A veterinary technician is (according to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the statutes in many states) a person who has a degree in veterinary technolog … y from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program and has met all of their state's requirements for credentialing as a veterinary technician. In most states an associates degree or higher from an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program is required. <P> Even though veterinary technicians may be confused with veterinary assistants at a clinic, technicians are required to have graduated from an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) approved veterinary technician school and obtained state licensure in all states in the country. Veterinary Technician. While veterinary technicians do not go through the required graduate program to become full-fledged veterinarians, many veterinary technicians can run medical tests, take x-rays and even administer medicine while under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. <P> Educational Requirements and Training Information. A 2-year associate's degree in veterinary technology equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work as veterinary technicians. Alternately, an associate's degree program for animal science may offer veterinary technology as an area of emphasis. While both occupations share some of the same job responsibilities, a veterinary technician requires less education. A typical degree program completed by a veterinary technician lasts for two years and is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). <P> To become a veterinary technician, you must be the graduate of a 2-year or 4-year program from an AVMA-accredited school.

how to stop other cats spraying in your house
|
<P> Changes in your cat's environment, such as rearranging his living space or moving to a new home, can add stress and induce marking. Occasionally, the spraying cat may target the clothing or bedding of a person or visitor in the house. The presence of stray cats in your yard may cause your cat to mark near windows and doors as a way to identify that this is his territory. New pets in the household, or a conflict between existing pets in the same household, may also make pets feel a need to mark their territories. <P> Feline Spraying Cat Spraying Urine Reasons why cats spray urine, prevention, cleaning and treatment. What is Feline Spraying. Feline Spraying (also called marking) is a cat depositing a small amount of urine on vertical surfaces, such as furniture, doorways and walls. The spraying cat may be seen to back into the area, the tail may quiver, and with little or no crouching the cat sprays the urine. Spraying is marking behavior, not a litter box problem. The cat does not need to pee, he is leaving a message for other cats. Un-neutered male cats will usually start urine spraying behavior once they reach sexual maturity. <P> The spraying of urine on drapes, furniture, and other surfaces is your cat's way of identifying territory or covering the scent of other cats. While this behavior is normal, it can and should be prevented to keep your home odor free. Do not confuse urine spraying with eliminating outside of the litter box. If your cat urinates outside of her litter box, leaving a puddle or a large carpet stain, you should call your veterinarian immediately. She may have a urinary tract infection, cystitis that needs to be treated as soon as possible. 1 Have your cat spayed/neutered by the time she is six months old. 2 In addition to the many other good reasons to have your cat neutered, more than 90% of cats will not start spraying if they are fixed before the behavior begins. 3 Restrict her view of the outdoors. <P> To stop the behavior, you must understand the reasons cats spray. Spraying is a way to communicate with other cats, and knowing what your cat is trying to communicate is key to fixing the problem. 1 Cats are territorial and like to claim certain things and areas. 1 Urine marking is your cat's way of letting other cats know of his presence and which portions of the house belong to him. 2 If you live in a multiple cat household, your cat is likely claiming territory. 3 Spraying is also a mating ritual for cats. <P> 1 Cats are territorial and like to claim certain things and areas. 2 Urine marking is your cat's way of letting other cats know of his presence and which portions of the house belong to him. 3 If you live in a multiple cat household, your cat is likely claiming territory. 4 Spraying is also a mating ritual for cats. 1 Urine marking is your cat's way of letting other cats know of his presence and which portions of the house belong to him. 2 If you live in a multiple cat household, your cat is likely claiming territory. 3 Spraying is also a mating ritual for cats. <P> Q. My cat has been urine marking the side of my couch, near the window. A. First, it’s important to determine if your cat is truly spraying, or whether he is urinating. With urine spraying, cats tend to stand upright and eliminate a small amount on vertical surfaces. Cats that are urinating usually squat and eliminate larger amounts on horizontal surfaces. The presence of stray cats in your yard may cause your cat to mark near windows and doors as a way to identify that this is his territory. New pets in the household, or a conflict between existing pets in the same household, may also make pets feel a need to mark their territories. <P> All these things can cause a cat to spray or urine mark. Many people don't realize it, but both male and female cats can urine mark. Again, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the primary cause of spraying is your cat's insecurity in his territory. Help your cat increase his confidence and feeling of security. How to Stop a Cat from Spraying Indoors. Cat spraying and urine marking are social, sexual and territorial behaviors. It's also how cats express extreme emotions such as frustration. Your cat is trying to tell you sometime. The primary cause of the <P> Neuter your cat. If your cat is not fixed, this may be what's causing the spraying as the behavior is used to advertise to mates. Spraying is a sign of sexual maturity in cats, and having your cat fixed can stop the behavior. 1 If possible, have your cat neutered before he is 6 months old. 1 Urine marking is your cat's way of letting other cats know of his presence and which portions of the house belong to him. 2 If you live in a multiple cat household, your cat is likely claiming territory. 3 Spraying is also a mating ritual for cats.

what were the similarities of all the greek city states
|
<P> Best Answer: Between the two main ones: Sparta and Athens. Athens: Primarily an artisan city. They were more cultured and tended to be (in modern opinion) very progressive. They were essentially very modern in their ways of thinking. Tended toward philosophy etc. Sparta: A completely military state. <P> We hear a lot about Athens and Sparta, but what were some of the other ancient Greek city-states? There was Corinth, which was the richest commercial city of ancient Greece. Thebes is the birthplace of Hercules (whom the Greeks called Herakles), the legendary hero. The differences between Athens and Sparta eventually led to war between the two city-states. Known as the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.E.), both Sparta and Athens gathered allies and fought on and off for decades because no single city-state was strong enough to conquer the others. <P> Groups of villages that banded together were called city-states. There were hundreds of city-states in ancient Greece, some really small ones and some really big ones with large populations. Although each city-state had its own form of government and its own army, and even sometimes its own navy, and each city-state certainly its own way of doing things, the city-states of ancient Greece had many things in common. <P> Sparta. There were two city-states that were indicative of Greek city-states as a whole: Sparta and Athens. At Sparta, located on the Peloponnesus, five Dorian villages combined to form the Spartan state. In the 8th century, this state conquered all the other peoples of Laconia, one of the most fertile plains in Greece. For example, some poleis had different names for the months of the year. Although there were similarities and differences between the city-states, they all made the effort to preserve their own unique identity. What we call the ancient Greek world was really hundreds of independent city-states or poleis. No one polis was a replica of another <P> Sparta There were two city-states that were indicative of Greek city-states as a whole: Sparta and Athens.

Although there were similarities and differences between the city-states, they all made the effort to preserve their own unique identity. What we call the ancient Greek world was really hundreds of independent city-states or poleis. No one polis was a replica of another <P> But they were loyal to their city-state. If you asked someone in ancient Greece where they were from, they would not say they were from Greece, because Greece at that time was not a country. It was a collection of city-states, each with its own personality and way of doing things. They would say they were from Athens, or Sparta, or Corinth, or Argos. Although each city-state had its own form of government and its own army, and even sometimes its own navy, and each city-state certainly its own way of doing things, the city-states of ancient Greece had many things in common. <P> There were many similarities between Greek city states. Sparta was, however, organized much different than the other important Greek city states. Sparta as a society is roundly criticized by most historical studies. This is in part because Greek history largely comes to us from the Athenians. Left unsaid is the fact that Athens like other Greek states had economies that were supported by large slave populations. Sparta and Athens do, however, represent two diametrically opposed concepts of the Greek city state. Sparta like many of the Greek city states appeared in the 9th century BC at the end of the Greek Dark Ages. Sparta was at first similar to other Greek city states, governed by a monarchy and small aristocracy. <P> Then during the Peloponnesian war, which was Sparta v.s the powerful Athens (in the 400's B.C) at the end, we ended with a new powerful group called Sparta. The Spartanians were so releaved and excited and Athenians so depressed. That is a big difference in Greek City-States government. Some similarities is that they both had citizens that had to be males, but a big difference between that is to be a citizen in Athenia, you had to be a male, but you had to have family in that city-state for 3 generations. <P> Cities. Ancient Greece was made up of city-states. City-states were areas of land made up of many small cities and the countryland surrounding them. City-states often joined together to form countries. The two largest city-states in Greece were Athens and Sparta.

why is respiration anaerobic
|
<P> When that happens, your muscles switch to anaerobic respiration. Muscle cells metabolize carbohydrates without oxygen in a process called anaerobic glycolysis. The end product of anaerobic glycolysis is lactic acid, which can build up in your muscles and bloodstream. <P> Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process that doesn't use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism's needs. <P> Anaerobic respiration. Unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen. It is the release of a relatively small amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen. <P> Diffen › Science › Biology. Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process that doesn't use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism's needs. <P> Two Types of Cellular Processes. Cellular respiration can be aerobic (meaning with oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen). Which route the cells take to create the ATP depends solely on whether or not there is enough oxygen present to undergo aerobic respiration. <P> Anaerobic respiration is respiration without oxygen; the process uses a respiratory electron transport chain but does not use oxygen as the electron acceptors. Cells that use it. Aerobic respiration occurs in most cells. <P> Cellular Respiration is divided into two series of biochemical reactions: anaerobic and aerobic reactions. Anaerobic reactions occur in the cytoplasm of the cell and aerobic reactions occur in the mitochondria of the cells.

what score is considered good credit
|
<P> Good credit score: 680 to 719. A credit report score in the 680-and-up range is good news for you. You can still get decent terms from lenders, although not as nice as those offered to borrowers with truly excellent credit scores. If you're shopping for a first home, a score in this range is certainly considered to be a good credit score, and it will get you an acceptable mortgage. Excellent credit score: 720 and Up. Credit scores in this range will open up the best interest rates and repayment terms for loans. If you want to make major purchases, such as an investment property, this credit score range is where you want to be. <P> Credit scores between 750 and 800 are considered to be excellent; credit scores from 720 and 750 are good to excellent; those ranging from 690 to 720 are considered good; and borrowers with credit scores ranging from 620 and 690 are fair credit risks. A credit score below 620 is considered poor. Ways to Boost a Credit Score. If you don’t have a good credit score, there are ways in which you can work toward improving it. <P> Anything above 50% will drag down your credit score quite a bit. For example we’ll say you have two credit cards, one has a $3,000 credit limit, the other has a $5,000 limit. Your total “credit line” or “credit limit” on your credit cards would then be $8,000. If you carry a total balance on both cards of 4,000, your total balance would be occupying 50% of your total credit limit, this is not good for your credit score. <P> The FICO credit score is what most banks and lenders use, and anything in the 660-720 range is considered a good credit score under the FICO model (the higher the better). However, there are more than 1,000 different types of credit scores, and they often utilize different score ranges. So, what’s a good credit score under one model might not be considered good under another. A good credit score is undoubtedly important, but that alone isn’t always enough. Lenders and other decision makers also pay a lot of attention to your assets, income, and liabilities when evaluating your overall credit profile. <P> Generally a good credit score is considered to be above 720. This is when you will receive the best interest rates. If you want a good credit score you should make sure to pay all your bills early, every time. If you can’t pay them all then at least try to pay more then the minimum payments. Your total “credit line” or “credit limit” on your credit cards would then be $8,000. If you carry a total balance on both cards of 4,000, your total balance would be occupying 50% of your total credit limit, this is not good for your credit score. <P> Credit Guidelines. Credit scores range from about 300 to 850. According to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which purchase mortgages from banks and resell them to investors, a FICO score above 620 is considered good. However, says Fair Isaac, A 620 score doesn't mean you're going to qualify for the best rate. A credit score below 620 is considered subprime. The subprime lending category is for borrowers whom the lender determines to be risky loan candidates. Scores that fall short of 620 may bring about lender investigation. Applicants will be required to provide additional documentation to prove their creditworthiness. <P> When you apply for a credit card or mortgage, there’s a good chance the creditor is basing the decision on your FICO scores (you have three, one each from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). If you want to know how good (or bad) your score is, what you really should be doing is basing that decision on your FICO scores. If you are referring to FICO scores, the score range is from 300 to 850. For many years Fair Isaac and Company (FICO) reported the median national credit score but unfortunately they stopped providing that information. <P> Fair FICO. A credit score below 620 is considered subprime. The subprime lending category is for borrowers whom the lender determines to be risky loan candidates. Scores that fall short of 620 may bring about lender investigation. Applicants will be required to provide additional documentation to prove their creditworthiness. <P> For example, if you charge $500 in any given month on your credit cards, and your total limit on both cards is $1000, it will be reported to the credit bureaus accordingly, so at that point your utilization percentage (balance to total limit) would be 50%, which will drag down your credit score significantly. Your total “credit line” or “credit limit” on your credit cards would then be $8,000. If you carry a total balance on both cards of 4,000, your total balance would be occupying 50% of your total credit limit, this is not good for your credit score. <P> Your 790 credit score might not be as great as you think it is. For example, while a FICO score of 790 out of 850 is considered excellent, it's merely mediocre on the VantageScore model -- which tops out at 990. Overall, the eight most common credit scores used by lenders and consumers range from as low as 150 to as high as 990, according to a new Credit Sesame diagram created by John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com and a former manager at FICO.

radiation pill for thyroid
|
<P> Guide. Radioactive iodine is a medicine that you take one time. After you swallow it, it is taken up by your thyroid gland. Depending on the dosage used, the radioactivity in the iodine destroys most or all of the tissue in your thyroid gland, but it does not harm any other parts of your body. <P> 1 You are given a pill that contains radioactive iodine. 2 After swallowing it, you wait as the iodine collects in the thyroid. 3 The first scan is usually done 4 to 6 hours after you take the iodine pill. 4 Another scan is usually taken 24 hours later. <P> Iodine, in the form of iodide, is made into two radioactive isotopes that are commonly used in patients with thyroid diseases: I-123 (harmless to thyroid cells) and I-131 (destroys thyroid cells). <P> Some side effects from radioactive iodine treatment include: 1 Metallic taste in your mouth. 2 Dry mouth. 3 Sore throat. 4 Neck pain. 5 Nausea or vomiting, which is usually mild. 6 Constipation or diarrhea. 7 Fatigue. 8 Unusually low (hypothyroidism) or unusually high (hyperthyroidism) thyroid levels. <P> When radioactive iodine (RAI), also known as I-131, is taken into the body in liquid or capsule form, it concentrates in thyroid cells. The radiation can destroy the thyroid gland and any other thyroid cells (including cancer cells) that take up iodine, with little effect on the rest of your body. <P> Radiation can come in the form of a pill. Iodine (131 I) used in thyroid treatment might be given in pill form or as a liquid. The choice is an institutional decision based on many factors, including the amount to be given to a patient. Most other radiopharmaceuticals are either injected or inhaled. <P> After radioactive iodine treatment most patients will develop hypothyroid. These patients will require thyroid hormone replacement in the form of a thyroid hormone pill. Surgical removal of the thyroid gland is another definitive treatment for Graves disease or for thyroid goiter. <P> For most people, one dose of radioactive iodine treatment will cure hyperthyroidism. Usually, thyroid hormone levels return to normal in 8 to 12 weeks. In rare cases, the person needs a second or third dose of radioactive iodine.
