how old do ducklings need to be before they go outside
<P> 7. At six weeks old the ducklings can live outside, and at this stage you should feed them growers pellets in order that they have all the nutrients required in order that they can grow. Do not feed and water overnight in their hutch as they will make a lot of mess and you will encourage rodents to your hutch. 1. The main thing to remember with ducklings under three weeks old is that they cannot maintain their own body temperature so it is essential that you provide them with a heat source at all times, and if kept outside in a shed they will require an infra red heat lamp. <P> Ducklings and Goslings do not take heat well, so be sure not to overheat them. They like a temperature of 90-92 degrees for the first 3 days, then 85-90 degrees for days 4 to 7. Thereafter, drop the temperature by approximately 5 degrees per week until they are fully feathered. <P> Keep them in a small area so they can get back to a warm, protected area if they need. They need to be protected from rain until they are about six weeks of age when they are almost completely feathered. If the weather is not warm, you may need to keep them confined until they are six to seven weeks of age. The best thing is to watch them. If they appear cold or huddle together, bring them back inside <P> Ok my ducks are babies so I know its going to be a bit but generally what age so I have a target date. They are stinking me out of house and home right now. I forgot how smelly they were. We are cleaning their boxes twice a day and they play in the bathtub once a day just to keep the smell down. eeek. 2 ducks are about 2 weeks old now. The others ones are probably about 4 to 5 weeks old. wow they are smelly. Mother of 4, homeschooler, Raise chickens, ducks, geese, goats and YAY I finally have my dairy cow. <P> If they are layers they will need to be 16-20 weeks old Most breeds start to lay after 4 to 5 months old. Some breeds are slower to lay and can be 6 to 7 months old before offering the first egg. Make sure light conditions are right, a combination of 14 hours per day of both natural and artificial lighting. <P> 1. Feed ducklings and adolescent ducks a diet that is 18-20% protein. Young ducks grow quickly, and as a result, they need food that has a lot of protein and is high in calories. For the first 3 weeks of life, feed them a starter diet that is 18-20% protein and consists of small pellets (about 1/8). <P> Water. Your duckling at this age is not waterproof, and can drown in deeper water. In the wild, ducklings get their waterproofing from their mother who supervises their swim time. Ducks need water to drink all the time, but they can not be allowed to get in the water source without supervision. Baby ducks that are raised by their mother get their waterproofing from the mother-they rub up against her and get the oil from her feathers on them, and then mom preens them and distributes the oil through their down, waterproofing them. If they are not waterproof, they can drown, or become chilled and die <P> If you use a heat lamp to keep them warm, raise it about two feet above them and if you are keeping them in a box, make a shaded area that they can get away from the heat. When outside and the night temperature is 65 degrees or below, they definitely need a heat lamp. Swimming: Ducklings can swim within a day of hatching but can drown if left unattended in deep water such as a sink or bathtub or swimming pool. If they are able to get to a pond where they can easily get in and out of the water, they will be okay. <P> Ducklings are hardier than chicks so their temps don't have to be as high as long but they still need warmth. Mine went out at 5 weeks almost fully feathered with temps in the 60-70's and I still put out a 60 watt bulb for heat during the day and I had another larger one for nights. i moved my 3 ducks outside at 2 weeks for the same reason. we didnt use a heat lamp but they are housed with 2.5 mo old chicks to help stay warm. the temp has dropped into the low 40's and the birds have been fine outside for 2 weeks now. as long as you have the heat lamp they should be fine.

what is a dynamic muscle contraction
<P> Dynamic exercises involve concentric and eccentric contractions. For example, when you perform a biceps curl, the action of curling the weight up is the concentric motion. Concentric contractions occur as a muscle shortens and generates force against a load to move it. <P> Concentric contractions: A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction where the length of the muscles shorten while undergoing tension. For example, when you pick up a curl bar and perform a biceps curl, the length of your biceps muscles shorten. Your hands start down by your sides, and ends with your hands up by your shoulders. <P> Isokinetics is a type of dynamic exercise usually using concentric and/or eccentric muscle contractions in which the speed or velocity of movement is constant and muscular contraction occurs throughout the full range of the movement. Nautilus machines are engineered to allow this type of contraction. <P> Dynamic Contractions/Isotonic Contractions. Dynamic occur with movement or through the use of free weights. When an athlete lifts a free weight they are exerting a force against gravity. This contraction is often called an isotonic contraction. <P> Concentric contractions are the most common type of muscle contraction within the body and occur with general movement. Eccentric. In Eccentric contractions, the muscle develops tension whilst lengthening, to overcome a resistance, i.e. the attachments move further apart. <P> Isotonic contractions are those which cause the muscle to change length as it contracts causing movement. There are two types of isotonic contraction: -. Concentric. A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction in which the muscles shorten while generating force. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament mechanism.
Concentric contractions occur as a muscle shortens and generates force against a load to move it.
how much does an famous football player make
<P> How much a player makes depends on the team for whom he plays, his position for that team, his skill and experience, and his celebrity status. The League is made up of 32 teams from across the United States and is divided into two sections: the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC). The average salary of an NFL player works out to considerably less when not considering the top earners, but these players still make hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Bloomberg Businessweek says the average salary of an NFL player in 2011 was $1.9 million. The median salary was $770,000 <P> The NFL players at the top of the league’s pay scale are doing just fine. Here is a list of the top 10 paid NFL players and how much they are making a year, a day and a hour, according to Yahoo. 1 No. 10 Mario Williams, $16 million a year, $135,500 a day, $5,600 a hour. Though the National Football League makes more money ($9 billion a year) than any other professional league in the country, its players make, on average, less than National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball players. <P> NFL Players are payed too much. NFL players make nearly $1 million a year while people like doctors hardly make half as much. The football players are doing it for entertainment while doctors are saving lives. The NFL players may get hurt and have only their gamely salary to live of, but anything like that could happen to anyone. <P> Athletes are among the highest paid individuals in modern day society. Nearly half of the players in the NFL earn more in salary per year than the top paid Wall Street Executives. According to the National Football League Players Association, the minimum salary that an NFL player can make is $295,000 per year. In calculating how much a player is paid each year, player endorsements must also be taken into account. This makes Manning the highest paid NFL player of all time. Manning's salary last year was $14,005,720 which was a total of a $14 million base salary with other bonuses. This year his base salary is $15.8 million with $15 from endorsements. <P> 3. At 22, Lionel Messi is the youngest player to make the top 20 list of highest-paid soccer stars. Messi's 2009-2010 contract is worth $13.74 million. Messi, a striker for Spanish champions Barcelona, will represent his home country, Argentina, at this year's World Cup. But to the rest of the world, he's pretty much an average professional footballer -- at least in terms of salary. Beckham's nearly $6.5 million annual contract doesn't even crack the list of the top 20 highest-paid soccer stars, and barely puts him onto the list of the top 50 earners in the sport. <P> Average Salaries. The average salary of an NFL player works out to considerably less when not considering the top earners, but these players still make hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Bloomberg Businessweek says the average salary of an NFL player in 2011 was $1.9 million. The median salary was $770,000 <P> On average, NBA players make $5.15 million, MLB players make $3.2 million, NHL players make $2.4 million, and NFL players make $1.9 million per year, according to Forbes. <P> Salary Statistics. Average MLB player salaries broke the $3 million-a-year mark for the first time in 2010. Yankees players had the highest average annual salary in 2012 at $6,186,321, while players on the Oakland Athletics had the lowest average salary at $1,845,750. These salaries only show how much the players made on the field. Major League Baseball is not a league of equals when it comes to player salaries or payroll. Some teams choose to spend a lot on player salaries. For example, the New York Yankees' 2012 payroll was the highest in MLB at $197,962,289. <P> 1. Coming in at No. 1 is 25-year-old Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, who earns $17.06 million* per year as a forward for Spanish football club Real Madrid. Ronaldo, who also captains the Portuguese national team, is the most expensive soccer player in history. But to the rest of the world, he's pretty much an average professional footballer -- at least in terms of salary. Beckham's nearly $6.5 million annual contract doesn't even crack the list of the top 20 highest-paid soccer stars, and barely puts him onto the list of the top 50 earners in the sport.

where did the term guinea originated
<P> The phrase guinea pig originated when a tax was imposed on powder for Whigs in England to help pay for the war with Napoleon. The list of those who had paid the guinea (one pound, one shilling) was posted on their parish church door. As they were the wealthy of the day, they became known as the guinea pigs. <P> The guinea pig (or “cavy”), a small rodent of the genus Cavia, originated in South America but is now found in cages – and on laps – throughout the world. So it isn’t from Guinea (which is the name of both a country and a region in western Africa), and it isn’t a pig. (1) The animal was perhaps “thought to resemble the young of the Guinea Hog (Potamochoerus),” which is a river pig found in Guinea. (2) Back when the phrase “guinea pig” was first recorded, the word “Guinea” was often used to denote some unspecified or unknown faraway land. (3) The “guinea” here may represent a confusion with Guiana, a region of northeastern South America. This explanation “seems unlikely,” the OED says <P> As a derogatory term for an Italian (1896) it is from Guinea Negro (1740s) black person, person of mixed ancestry; applied to Italians probably because of their dark complexions relative to northern Europeans, and after 1911 it was occasionally applied to Hispanics and Pacific Islanders as well. former British coin, 1660s, from, because the coins were first minted for British trade with Guinea (but soon in domestic use) and with gold from Africa. The original guinea was in use from 1663 to 1813 <P> The origin of 'guinea' in 'guinea pig' is a little bit harder to explain. One of the hypotheses is that because the guinea pigs were brought into Europe trough Guinea, it is there from where they were labeled as such. Others believe it may be an alteration of the word Coney; guinea pigs were referred to as 'pig coneys' in Edward Topsell's 1607 treatise on quadrupeds. <P> A Guinea is still used in British Horse Racing, and is of the value of one pound and five pence. The word Guinea is associated with the coin/currency unit in the UK rather than as a reference to Italians. There are numerous horse races such as the 2000 Guineas. This dates back to the 1740's. By the 1890s it was being applied to Italians--almost certainly because they tend to have darker skin than Anglo-Saxons/Germans. By 1911 the term began being applied to Hispanics, although the reference to Italians is the most common. Surely you did not call him a guinea. <P> The origin of guinea in guinea pig is a little bit harder to explain. One of the hypotheses is that because the guinea pigs were brought in Europe trough Guinea, it is there from where they were labeled as such. Cavia is derived from Portuguese cavia (çavia now) savia from The tupi word, sauja saujá. Meaning rat the origin of guinea in guinea pig is a little bit harder. <P> The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy or domestic guinea pig, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Despite their common name, these animals are not in the pig family, nor are they from Guinea. <P> Best Answer: In trying to find out where guinea pigs originate from, it is incredible to think that the Inca tribes in Peru were the first to domesticate this animal, early in 5000 BC. Statues of guinea pigs have been found in archaeological digs in Peru and Ecuador dating from ca. 500 BC. Cavia is derived from Portuguese cavia (çavia now) savia from The tupi word, sauja saujá. Meaning rat the origin of guinea in guinea pig is a little bit harder. to explain

what good does Anopheles mosquito
<P> Understanding the biology and behavior of Anopheles mosquitoes can help understand how malaria is transmitted and can aid in designing appropriate control strategies. Factors that affect a mosquito's ability to transmit malaria include its innate susceptibility to Plasmodium, its host choice, and its longevity. The adult stage is when the female Anopheles mosquito acts as malaria vector. The adult females can live up to a month (or more in captivity) but most probably do not live more than 1-2 weeks in nature. Top: Anopheles Egg; note the lateral floats. <P> Malaria (Back to Top). It is important to note that the mosquitoes themselves do not cause the malaria disease. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite in the Plasmodium genus that the mosquitoes transmit through blood feeding (Foster and Walker 2009). Different species of Plasmodium infect different vertebrate groups, including humans, other mammals, birds and reptiles. Introduction (Back to Top). Anopheles gambiae Giles is the most efficient vector of human malaria in the Afrotropical Region (CDC 2010). Thus, it is commonly called the African malaria mosquito. The Anopheles gambiae complex of sibling species (White 1974; Fanello et al. <P> Diagram of Adult Female Mosquito. Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle. There are approximately 3,500 species of mosquitoes grouped into 41 genera. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria (i.e., are “vectors”) in nature. <P> The first three stages are aquatic and last 5-14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature. The adult stage is when the female Anopheles mosquito acts as malaria vector. The adult females can live up to a month (or more in captivity) but most probably do not live more than 1-2 weeks in nature. Top: Anopheles Egg; note the lateral floats. <P> The Anopheles mosquito is known universally as the Malaria Mosquito species because it is considered the primary vector of the disease. It is also considered a transmitter of heartworm in dogs. Learn more about the symptoms of malaria. The Anopheles mosquito is also considered a transmitter of heartworm in dogs. This mosquito species seems to prefer mammals, including humans, for its blood meal. <P> Mosquitoes are members of a family of nematocerid flies: the Culicidae (from the Latin culex, genitive culicis, meaning midge or gnat). Superficially, mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae). Mosquitoes are small, midge-like flies which comprise the family Culicidae. Females of most species are ectoparasites, whose tube-like mouthparts (called a proboscis) pierce the hosts' skin to consume blood.

how much do architects charge commercial
<P> 1 Architect's fees depend a great deal on the project and the location, and can vary in both amount and type: 2 Hourly charges may start at $50-$150 but can go up depending on the type of work (from creating drawings to inspecting a construction site), location, and the architect's training, experience and reputation. <P> 1 A negotiated flat fee can be as low as $700-$1,000 for up to a specified number of hours spent creating a concept design. 2 Or an architect might agree to design a 25x25-foot room addition for $5,000-$10,000, or a 3,000-square-foot custom home for $50,000-$75,000 or more, no matter what the final construction price is. <P> 1 Fees can also be based on 5 to 15 percent of a project's construction expenses. 2 Designing a 25x25-foot room addition that costs $165,000-$200,000 to build could generate an architect's bill of $8,250-$30,000; using this pricing method, the fee for a $750,000 custom-built new home could be $37,500-$112,500. <P> The second one is charging hourly. We tend to prefer hourly fees on projects that are particularly open ended or very small scope. Our hourly rates are currently between $60 and $120 per hour depending on who is doing the work. <P> Architect fees are typically charged by the hour, as a percentage of construction costs, or by square footage. How an architect charges depends on the firm, the nature of the job, what part of the country you’re in, the economy, and your skill at negotiating. <P> If you hire an architect on a hourly basis, they might charge you between $60 and $125 per hour for their services, though it can vary. Charging by the hour is beneficial to the architect as some homeowners can find themselves constantly making changes to the design. <P> 1 Hourly charges may start at $50-$150 but can go up depending on the type of work (from creating drawings to inspecting a construction site), location, and the architect's training, experience and reputation. 2 Fees can also be based on 5 to 15 percent of a project's construction expenses. <P> Yet even the most cost-conscious clients must spend a minimum of about $50 per square foot for an interior office remodel, especially for a smaller space with less economy of scale. Let’s use a 5,000 square foot space as an example. At $50 per square foot, $250,000 is a very bare-bones budget. <P> On a simple $50 per square foot project, basic architectural design fees might range anywhere from $2.00 per square foot to $4.00 per square foot, or $10,000 to $20,000 for the 5,000 square foot example.

cost of opdivo
<P> The cost for the initial 12-week phase of the combination is about $141,000, and then $12,500 a month for Opdivo alone, totaling roughly $256,000 if a patient stays on therapy for a year, according to a Bristol-Myers spokeswoman. BMY 1.37 % said Thursday the FDA approved the use of its drugs Yervoy and Opdivo for the treatment of advanced melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. <P> By Estel Grace Masangkay. Bristol-Myers Squibb and partner Ono Pharmaceuticals ’ anti-PD-1 cancer drug Opdivo was commercially launched in Japan this month at an annual price of $143,000 per patient, reports The Wall Street Journal. The news of Opdivo’s price tag was greeted with a lackluster response reminiscent of Gilead drug Sovaldi’s reception. Sovaldi, a blockbuster drug for hepatitis C, is currently priced at over $80,000 per treatment course per patient. <P> 1 It may be expensive. 2 A typical fill can cost $15,744 or more for 6 vials (10ml) of Opdivo 100mg/10ml. 3 Patients in need of this drug may find most of the cost paid by an insurance company, government, or non profit organization.

This drug is considered a specialty medication, which means: 1 It may be expensive. 2 A typical fill can cost $15,744 or more for 6 vials (10ml) of Opdivo 100mg/10ml. 3 Patients in need of this drug may find most of the cost paid by an insurance company, government, or non profit organization. <P> Subsequent full-year costs of therapy would be about $150,000 for Opdivo alone. Yervoy, which was introduced in 2011, generated $621 million in sales for Bristol in the first half of this year. Opdivo, launched late last year, had $162 million in sales for the same period. BMY 1.37 % said Thursday the FDA approved the use of its drugs Yervoy and Opdivo for the treatment of advanced melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. <P> Opdivo is the only FDA-approved monotherapy to demonstrate proven superior OS compared to standard of care in more than 15 years in previously treated metastatic squamous NSCLC. The median OS was 9.2 months in the Opdivo arm (95% CI: 7.3, 13.3) and 6 months in the docetaxel arm (95% CI: 5.1, 7.3). The hazard ratio was 0.59 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.79; p=0.00025). This hazard ratio translates to a 41% reduction in the risk of death with Opdivo compared to docetaxel <P> Being the seventh medicine authorized by FDA to treat Melanoma, the treatment offered by Bristol-Myers will cost $12,500 per patient per month. This sums to $150,000 per annum. The present value of the incremental EPS flowing in from the sale of Opdivo is calculated to be $0.13. Staying conservative and applying the EBITD margin ttm of 27.12% and an effective tax rate of 35%, the incremental earnings from the marketing of Opdivo are computed to be $264.42 million by the end of 2016. On a per share basis, the addition is derived to be $0.16. <P> 1 A typical fill can cost $15,744 or more for 6 vials (10ml) of Opdivo 100mg/10ml. 2 Patients in need of this drug may find most of the cost paid by an insurance company, government, or non profit organization. 3 If you are uninsured or need help with your co-pay, the manufacturer may also offer assistance. 4 Learn more.

where do the ducts of the submandibular salivary glands empty into the oral cavity
<P> Salivary gland problems that cause clinical symptoms include: Obstruction: Obstruction to the flow of saliva most commonly occurs in the parotid and submandibular glands, usually because stones have formed. Symptoms typically occur when eating. Besides these glands, there are many tiny glands called minor salivary glands located in your lips, inner cheek area (buccal mucosa), and extensively in other linings of your mouth and throat. Salivary glands produce the saliva used to moisten your mouth, initiate digestion, and help protect your teeth from decay. <P> We call the major salivary glands the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. They all secrete saliva into your mouth, the parotid through tubes that drain saliva, called salivary ducts, near your upper teeth, submandibular under your tongue, and the sublingual through many ducts in the floor of your mouth.

The sublingual ducts open underneath lingual frenulum. <P> The oral cavity includes the lips, gingivae, retromolar trigone, teeth, hard palate, cheek mucosa, mobile tongue, and floor of the mouth. The major salivary glands are in close relation with oral cavity structures, although they are not part of the oral cavity. The oral cavity is scattered with 500-1000 minor salivary glands within the mucosa and submucosa of the cheeks, lips, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palates, retromolar trigone, and tongue; the anterior hard palate and gingivae are devoid of these glands.

average price paid for baby shower gift
<P> 1 Most women share their experiences and the cost of throwing a baby shower ranges from $100 to $800 depending on the number of guests, theme, location and other important considerations. 1 The case is, the larger the party, the more costly it will be. 2 <P> 1 The location for a baby shower may range from no cost (for a home or church) up to $200 to reserve a community space for the shower guests. 2 For example, the Mifflin Township Community Center in Gahanna, OH, costs $200 for four hours (or $100 for residents of the township) and can accommodate 80 shower guests. 1 Invitations for a baby shower typically range from 50 cents to $1 each for pre-printed invitations and $1-$3 each for custom-printed invitations. 2 They are often ordered in groups of 25 to 100. <P> For me, average is $25.00. If I do not know the family too well, I might spend closer to $20. If I know the family well or if I know the family is in need, then I will easily spend $30-$40. Another thing that is good to do when you know some of the other people who have been invited to the shower is pool your money and get a larger gift from everyone. Best Answer: That depends on how well you know the person. You must remember, it is a gift from you. You do what you can afford. I would say that $20-$30 is average. <P> 1 One of the main factors for the pricing was the number of people that showed up to the event. 2 The average price, however, was around $200-$500. 3 WhattoExpect.com claimed that anything over $1,000 for a baby shower is outrageous. 4 With that being said, most stated that you should be able to do it for less than $500. 1 The case is, the larger the party, the more costly it will be. 2 Most women share their experiences and the cost of throwing a baby shower ranges from $100 to $800 depending on the number of guests, theme, location and other important considerations. <P> For close family members, the average cost for a gift shoots up to $179, while co-workers will only reap $66 on average. Attending a wedding can be expensive (costing $539 on average, including gifts, travel, and clothing), especially if you’re in the wedding party, so you should factor in those costs too. Again, how much to spend depends on how close you are to the person. The consensus on Baby Center suggests: $20-$25 for a co-worker or acquaintance, $50 for a close friend, or $100 for a best friend or family member. <P> Tricky on Jun 28, 2011 @ 08:42 pm. Just like wedding gifts, I feel that what you spend for a baby shower gift is really reflective of how well you know the person. However, it's not coloured by the fact that they're feeding you overpriced rubber chicken like at a wedding. Otherwise, I guess it partially depends on how well you know the mother and if they (the mom-to-be) has ever given you any baby shower/wedding shower etc. gifts. Generally, though in my position I would stick to under $100 unless it is a very very very good friend or family member. <P> $20 is always a decent amount but you can feel free to go higher or lower depending on the situation. Dear Lifehacker, I never know how much I should spend on gifts, particularly ones for odd, special occasions such as weddings or baby showers.

apocalyptic literature definition
<P> Video games, movies, television--post-apocalyptic literature is right under our noses, and you might not have even realized it! Any connection to the pre-apocalyptic world and its culture has been lost, and the younger generations have even started to revere 'The Americans' as gods. This sort of mythologizing of events and people prior to the cataclysm is common in post-apocalyptic literature. <P> Apocalyptic literature is a genre of prophetical writing that developed in post-Exilic Jewish culture and was popular among millennialist early Christians. The imagery in apocalyptic literature is not realistic or reflective of the physical world as it was, but is rather surreal and fantastic, invoking a sense of wonder at the complete newness of the new order to come. <P> The word apocalyptic, derived from the Greek word apokalypsis, means “revelation” or “unveiling,” and is applied to these writings because they contain alleged revelation of the secret purposes of God, the end of the world, and the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. <P> Apocalypse (ἀποκάλυψις) is a Greek word meaning revelation, an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling..

The Book of Daniel offers a fully matured and classic example of this genre of literature. The imagery in apocalyptic literature is not realistic or reflective of the physical world as it was, but is rather surreal and fantastic, invoking a sense of wonder at the complete newness of the new order to come. <P> The book of Revelation belongs to a class of chiefly Jewish (and later Christian) literature called “apocalyptic.” The word “apocalypse” has been borrowed from the book of Revelation and applied to these other writings.

what causes spinal arthritis
<P> Osteoarthritis of the spine may cause stiffness or pain in the neck or back. It may also cause weakness or numbness in the legs or arms if it is severe enough to affect spinal nerves or the spinal cord itself. Usually, the back discomfort is relieved when the person is lying down. Osteoarthritis of the spine is a breakdown of the cartilage of the joints and discs in the neck and lower back. Sometimes, osteoarthritis produces spurs that put pressure on the nerves leaving the spinal column. This can cause weakness and pain in the arms or legs <P> Arthritis. In some cases arthritis, a degenerative (gets worse over time) condition can cause spinal stenosis. Two forms of arthritis may affect the spine: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis: 1 The most common form of arthritis. 2 Most often occurs in middle-aged and older people. 3 Doesn’t go away. <P> Additional Causes. Additional causes or contributing factors for spinal arthritis include certain forms of chronic illness (e.g., diabetes), infections that damage your joint health, the stress produced by excessive body weight and certain immune system problems. Women develop spinal arthritis considerably more often than men. Genetics is a main contributor to several forms of spinal arthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, juvenile spondyloarthritis and enteropathic arthritis. Changes in a specific gene, known as HLA-B27, play a prominent role in most of these conditions. <P> Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease. It is a condition in which the protective cartilage that cushions the tops of bones degenerates, or wears down. This causes swelling and pain. It may also cause the development of osteophytes, or bone spurs. Osteoarthritis of the spine is a breakdown of the cartilage of the joints and discs in the neck and lower back. Sometimes, osteoarthritis produces spurs that put pressure on the nerves leaving the spinal column. This can cause weakness and pain in the arms or leg <P> By Michael Perry, M.D. Causes of spinal arthritis vary widely from person to person. To understand the causes of spine arthritis, it is first important to know that there are many types of arthritis that can affect the spine. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of connective tissue. It affects synovial lining, the thin membrane that covers inside of joint capsules and articular cartilage. RA causes white blood cells to turn against this membrane. <P> However, rheumatoid spinal arthritis usually affects younger people and it is not a common cause of arthritis back pain. Risk factors for osteoarthritis back pain include: 1 Being middle-aged or older. 2 Arthritis back pain is most common in people over age 50, but symptoms may start by age 30. 3 Being overweight. <P> When the cause of the osteoarthritis is known, it is referred to as secondary osteoarthritis, caused by a particular disease or condition, such as obesity, trauma or surgery to the joints, or abnormal joints at birth. In This Article: 1 Osteoarthritis of the Spine. There are a number of reasons why some people are particularly disposed to osteoarthritis.

It is a degenerative disease most often associated with aging and traumatic injury. Many cases of osteoarthritis have no known cause, but risk factors include: 1 Age – osteoarthritis cases usually appear around age 45. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of connective tissue. It affects synovial lining, the thin membrane that covers inside of joint capsules and articular cartilage. RA causes white blood cells to turn against this membrane.
Spine is a breakdown of the cartilage of the joints and discs in the neck and lower back. Sometimes, osteoarthritis produces spurs that put pressure on the nerves leaving the spinal column.
why was the environmental protection agency formed
<P> In 1970, President Richard Nixon proposed an executive reorganization that would consolidate many of the federal government's environmental responsibilities under one agency, a new Environmental Protection Agency. That reorganization proposal was reviewed and passed by the House and Senate. The agency conducts environmental assessment, research, and education. It has the responsibility of maintaining and enforcing national standards under a variety of environmental laws, in consultation with state, tribal, and local governments. <P> Photo 3 of 8. The Environmental Protection Agency was formed in December 1970 after President Nixon submitted a plan to Congress calling for the creation of the agency. Before the EPA was created, our nation had no central authority overseeing the protection of the environment. The EPA writes and enforces rules governing human health and the environment and is currently led by Administrator Lisa Jackson. <P> Since 1970 the EPA has worked closely with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a relatively small executive agency that was created pursuant to the NEPA. Its mission is to advise the president on federal policy and action in the environmental area and to ensure that other federal agencies comply with NEPA. When the EPA was created in 1970, it was headed by William Ruckelshaus (1932-), a loyal member of the Republican party who earned a reputation as a skilled administrator, who was able to work effectively with environmentalists as well as businesspeople. <P> The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created on December 2, 1970, by executive order of President Richard Nixon to permit coordinated and effective government action on behalf of the environment..

Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues. There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity, and protection measures are occasionally criticized. <P> The EPA has its headquarters in Washington, D.C. , regional offices for each of the agency's ten regions, and 27 laboratories.

what temperature should you keep a dehumidifier
<P> I just bought a 50 pint dehumidifier for my basement. What humidity level should I aim for? This time of year the outside humidity is very high (over 80%) and we do not have central air. Recommended humidity levels for human comfort is 30-60%[1]. Plus, in a basement, you want to keep things dry for the sake of the structure. I'd let it run as much as it needs to run. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort#Relative_humidity. <P> A) That will depend on a lot of things. Most importantly, the temperature in your room will determine the minimum humidity level you will be able to achieve. With most dehumidifiers the air comes out at around 30% humidity. At 70 degrees and higher it is possible to reduce the humidity to 35% to 40%. As the temperature goes below 70 degrees and down into the 50’s this will rise to 60 %. If the humidity reached is not as low as you want, you can heat the room or raise the dehumidifier off the floor where it is coldest. <P> For example, if you desire to keep the humidity at 50% then if the dehumidifier has shut itself off and your hygrometer reads above 50 % then you know it will be necessary to turn the manual humidistat dial up to a drier setting until it turns itself back on. A: The biggest factor will be what the air temperature is in the room that you are dehumidifying. With most dehumidifiers the air comes out around 30% humidity. As the air temperature increases the minimum humidity level you can expect to achieve will rise. For example, on an average dehumidifier if the air temperature is 60 degrees the minimum humidity you can expect to achieve would be around 50% whereas at 80 degrees you could expect as low as 25% <P> The result will be a room with your ideal level of humidity. 1 For example, a 500 square foot room that smells musty and feels damp would require a 40-45 pint dehumidifier. 2 Dehumidifiers can accommodate up to 44 pints (20.8197 liters) per 24 hours in a space as large as 2,500 square feet (232.257 square meters). Use a dehumidifier when a room feels damp. Rooms that feel damp and smell musty have a relatively high humidity level. Using a dehumidifier can restore the room to an ideal relative humidity. If the walls feel damp to the touch or have moldy patches, a dehumidifier should be used frequently. <P> While selecting a dehumidifier it is important to get one that can handle the humidity in your basement. 1 If you have a big basement consider buying a big dehumidifier, for if you buy a small one, it won't function as effectively. 2 You can size your dehumidifier in terms of the pints of moisture you want removed. If you want to accurately determine the humidity in your basement, it is best that you get yourself a hygrometer. A hygrometer is a contraption which is used to measure the amount of humidity in the surrounding atmosphere. <P> Remember if air outside is 60% RH and the temp is 80°F that would be equal to about 75% RH with with a basement temp of 60°F. Keeping it around 55%-60% will be comfortable and obtainable with a decent dehumidifier. Recommended humidity levels for human comfort is 30-60%[1]. Plus, in a basement, you want to keep things dry for the sake of the structure. I'd let it run as much as it needs to run. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort#Relative_humidity. <P> A dehumidifier is most effective at warmer temperatures and higher relative humidity levels. What should my humidity level be, and how do I know if I need a dehumidifier? Relative humidity levels above 60% can cause mold or mildew to grow, resulting in musty smelling air and unhealthy airborne mold spores. The ideal relative humidity level should be somewhere between 30% - 50% <P> Combat Humidity. The number one thing to combat humidity and condensation is a dehumidifier, and it comes in handy when you have multiple rooms in your basement. Dehumidifiers eliminate heightened levels of humidity, saving you thousands in repairs. If you want to accurately determine the humidity in your basement, it is best that you get yourself a hygrometer. A hygrometer is a contraption which is used to measure the amount of humidity in the surrounding atmosphere. <P> Close all windows and doors so your 30-pint dehumidifier will work efficiently. Basements. If you have a basement that is below-grade, you should use a basement dehumidifier. An air dehumidifier will help you keep the moisture levels in your basement down to manageable levels.

cost for reseeding a lawn
<P> Average Cost to Seed a Lawn. The average cost to seed a lawn is $1,302. Most homeowners reported that the expense of replanting a lawn was between $989 and $1,615. The lowest amount paid to reseed a lawn was $50, while the highest amount paid was $3,700. A small patching job on a lawn will be at the low end of the spectrum, while covering several acres of dirt with grass seed will be at the high end of pricing. <P> During this process, the soil will be prepared and the grass seeds will be planted. This process can be done by the homeowner or a professional service can be brought in. The cost of reseeding a lawn is going to depend on the size of a lawn, the company conducting the service, as well as other factors. 1 On average, a professional is going to charge anywhere from $90 to $170 per 1,000 square feet depending on layout of the yard. <P> The cost of reseeding a lawn depends upon the area of land as well as the type of grass seed that is used. Before beginning your landscaping work, there are a few things you should know about the cost of hiring a professional versus trying to do it yourself. <P> 1 Generally, you can expect to pay about $90-$180 per 1,000 square feet to seed a new lawn or reseeding (renovating) an existing one. 2 According to HomeAdvisor, seeding starts at about $150, but the average price ranges from $573-$853. 3 For very large yards, the cost usually tops $1,000. <P> 1 Homeowners that want to do the job themselves can do the job for 60% to 75% less. 2 For example, a contractor located in the Midwest will charge upwards of $90 to $110 per 1,000 square feet to re-seed a lawn.

what is rectocele symptoms
<P> As previously noted, the majority of patients with a rectocele have no symptoms. In fact, approximately 40% of all women will have a rectocele found on routine physical examination. When symptoms are present, they may be categorized as either rectal or vaginal. Rectal symptoms may include: difficulty with evacuation during a bowel movement and the need to press against the back wall of the vagina and/or space between the rectum and the vagina (perineal body) in order to have a bowel movement. The tissue between the rectum and the vagina is known as the rectovaginal septum and this structure can become thin and weak over time, resulting in a rectocele. When rectoceles are small, most women <P> Surgical repair may relieve some, but not all, of the problems caused by a rectocele or enterocele. 1 If pelvic pain, low back pain, or pain with intercourse is present before surgery, the pain may still occur after surgery. 2 Symptoms of constipation may return following surgery.

Surgical repair of rectoceles and enteroceles is used to manage symptoms such as movement of the intestine that pushes against the wall of the vagina, low back pain, and painful intercourse. <P> Rectocele: Rectal prolapse with protrusion into the vagina. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Rectocele is available below. <P> In fact, you may not even know you have posterior prolapse. In moderate or severe cases, however, posterior prolapse can be bothersome or uncomfortable. Make an appointment with your doctor if: 1 You have a bothersome bulge of tissue that protrudes from within your vagina through your vaginal opening when you strain. <P> A rectocele (/ˈrɛktəsiːl/ REK-tə-seel) results from a tear in the rectovaginal septum (which is normally a tough, fibrous, sheet-like divider between the rectum and vagina). Rectal tissue bulges through this tear and into the vagina as a hernia. There are two main causes of this tear: childbirth, and hysterectomy. Although the term applies most usually to the phenomenon of rectal herniation into the vagina in females, males may suffer with a condition likewise named. <P> A rectocele is a herniation (bulge) of the front wall of the rectum into the back wall of the vagina. The tissue between the rectum and the vagina is known as the rectovaginal septum and this structure can become thin and weak over time, resulting in a rectocele. When rectoceles are small, most women have no symptoms. <P> Rectocele. A rectocele occurs when the tissues and muscles that hold the end of the large intestine (rectum) in place are stretched or weakened. This can allow the rectum to move from its natural position and press against the back wall of the vagina. <P> Diagnosing and Treating a Rectocele. A rectocele is a bulge into the vagina caused by the rectum prolapsing through an attenuated rectovaginal septum (Fig. 6). The grading system shown in Table I can also be used for rectoceles. It is important to note that a rectocele is a defect of the vaginal supporting tissues; it is not a defect of the rectum. <P> Repair of Rectocele or Enterocele. Guide. A rectocele occurs when the end of the large intestine (rectum) pushes against and moves the back wall of the vagina. An enterocele (small bowel prolapse) occurs when the small bowel presses against and moves the upper wall of the vagina. Why It Is Done. Surgical repair of rectoceles and enteroceles is used to manage symptoms such as movement of the intestine that pushes against the wall of the vagina, low back pain, and painful intercourse. <P> email. Knowledge center. A rectocele, also called a proctocele, results from a tear in the normally tough, fibrous, sheet-like divider between the rectum and vagina (rectovaginal septum), causing a bulge to protrude as a hernia into the vagina when there is a bowel movement. It is mainly caused by childbirth or a hysterectomy.

what makes a rock an agate
<P> Botswana agate. Most agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas, in former cavities produced by volatiles in the original molten mass, which were then filled, wholly or partially, by siliceous matter deposited in regular layers upon the walls. Agate has also been known to fill veins or cracks in volcanic or altered rock underlain by granitic intrusive masses. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity, giving a banded appearance to the section. <P> The first deposit on the wall of a cavity, forming the skin of the agate, is generally a dark greenish mineral substance, like celadonite, delessite or green earth , which are rich in iron probably derived from the decomposition of the augite in the enclosing volcanic rock. Agate has also been known to fill veins or cracks in volcanic or altered rock underlain by granitic intrusive masses. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity, giving a banded appearance to the section. <P> The Lake Superior agate is a type of agate stained by iron and found on the shores of Lake Superior. Its wide distribution and iron-rich bands of color reflect the gemstone's geologic history in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. <P> Agate belongs to the quartz (silicon dioxide) family of minerals. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral found on earth’s continental crust, second only to the feldspar mineral group. Quartz is distinguished and separated into two main branches: macrocrystalline quartz and cryptocrystalline quartz. <P> Agate is a banded form of finely-grained, microcrystalline Quartz. The lovely color patterns and banding make this translucent gemstone very unique. Agates can have many distinctive styles and patterns, but each Agate is unique in its own habit, with no two Agates being the same. 1 Moss Agate is technically not a true Agate as it lacks the banding patterns of Agate. 2 Onyx-Type of Chalcedony gemstone whose meaning can have several connotations. 3 Its most practical gemstone definition describes a solid black Chalcedony, or a banded or layered black and white Chalcedony. <P> Agate is the banded form of the mineral Chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline variety of Quartz.

how long to cook a roast
<P> Cooking times for beef roasts depend on how you wish to serve the meat and what type of roast you are preparing. A tenderloin can be cooked in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven in 2 1/4 to three hours. Pork should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit or well done. To achieve this, cook a 3-pound pork roast for 60 to 90 minutes or until temperature is achieved. If you do not have a meat thermometer, err on the 90-minute side to be sure that the meat is fully cooked. <P> 4 Place the roast fat side up and rib bones down in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure that the thermometer isn't touching a bone. 5 After browning the roast at a 500°F temperature in the oven for 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. To figure out the total cooking time, allow about 13-15 minutes per pound for rare and 15-17 minutes per pound for medium rare. Roast in oven until thermometer registers 115°-120°F for rare or 125°-130°F for medium. (The internal temperature of the roast will continue to rise after you take the roast out of the oven.). Check the temperature of the roast using a meat thermometer 30 to 45 minutes before you expect the roast to be done. For example, with a 10 pound roast, you would expect 2 1/2 hours of total cooking time (15 minutes at 500° and 2 1/4 hours at 325°). In this case, check after 1 hour 45 minutes of total cooking time, or 1 hour 30 minutes after you lowered the oven temp to 325° <P> 1 Put the Roast in the oven and sear for 20 minutes. 2 Then add the water, the chopped onion and reduce the temperature to 275 degrees. 3 Cook for 20 minutes per lb. 4 I like mine rare so that is what you will get if you cook for this period of time. 1 Now Salt and Pepper the rest of the roast. 2 Put the Roast in the oven and sear for 20 minutes. 3 Then add the water, the chopped onion and reduce the temperature to 275 degrees. 4 Cook for 20 minutes per lb. 5 <P> Lamb is the meat from a young sheep and must be less than a year old. It is considered a red meat and can be cooked rare, medium or well done. Cook a 3-pound lamb roast in a 350 degree F oven for one hour for rare meat, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours for medium and 1 3/4 to two hours for well done. Lamb roasts can be cooked in a Dutch oven on the stove top, and cooking times are approximately the same. Pork should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit or well done. To achieve this, cook a 3-pound pork roast for 60 to 90 minutes or until temperature is achieved. If you do not have a meat thermometer, err on the 90-minute side to be sure that the meat is fully cooked. <P> How long and at what temperature should I cook a beef roast in the oven? Roasting is a great cooking method for a large, tender cut of beef such as a rib or sirloin roast. Sirloin-tip, rump, rolled-rump, eye-of-round or top-round roasts will also benefit from this cooking method if they are graded prime or choice. Cooking at a constant oven temperature of 300°F (160°C), a 5- to 8-lb standing rib roast will take 17-19 minutes per pound for rare, 20-22 for medium rare, 23-25 minutes for medium, and 27-30 minutes for well done. <P> If a pan with a rack is not available, place the meat on sturdy foods such as potatoes or carrots to keep it from getting too wet. 5. Turn the oven down to 200ºF and cook for about 1 hour per pound. Check your meat with a thermometer after 2.5 hours for a 2.5 pound roast. Cook the roast on low for about 5-7 hours. Cook your meat for about 2 hours per pound of weight. Depending on the size of your roast you will need to adjust the cooking time. <P> It is very simply to cook roast in oven. This is because you can use big pieces of meat is you are using an oven. The constant low temperature maintained in oven breaks down tough meat fibers, making them juicy and tender. The cooking time varies from 60 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the recipe used. <P> 1 For a medium rare roast: Cook the roast for 20 minutes for every pound. 2 If you were cooking a 5 pound roast, you would cook it for 100 minutes. 3 For a medium roast: Allow 22 minutes of cooking time for every pound. 4 If you were cooking a 5 pound roast, you would cook the meat for 110 minutes. 1 If you were cooking a 5 pound roast, you would cook it for 100 minutes. 2 For a medium roast: Allow 22 minutes of cooking time for every pound. 3 If you were cooking a 5 pound roast, you would cook the meat for 110 minutes. 4 If you are cooking a pork roast, you should allow 20 minutes per pound of meat. <P> Time to put it in the oven. Put the lid on, then roast in a 275-degree oven for 3 hours, for a 3 pound roast. For a 4 to 5 pound roast, plan on 4 hours. And don’t peek and fiddle and frig with it, either. Just find a hobby that will occupy your thoughts and actions for the time it takes for your roast to cook.

what is a polar bond
<P> Polar covalent bonds are a particular type of covalent bond. In a polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus. This is because of the geometry of the molecule and the great electronegativity difference between the Hydrogen atom and the Oxygen atom. <P> Non-polar and polar covalent bonds both belong to the three categories of polarity as well as the two types of covalent bonds. All three types (ionic, polar and non-polar) are classified as chemical bonds wherein there is a force (electronegativity) that allows the attraction of the atoms of two particular elements. <P> In this lesson you learned about two types of bonds: nonpolar covalent and polar covalent. Nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom. <P> If an electron pair is 50/50 shared between two atoms, then the bond is non-polar, and covalent. If the electron pair moves a bit towards the more electronegative atom of the pair, it becomes polar covalent. If the pair moves completely to one end (big electronegativity difference) the bond is called ionic. Only bonds between the same elements are truly nonpolar. The higher the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond is. Take a look at this table of electronegavities and let's try some examples. <P> Nonpolar covalent bonds: Equal sharing of the bond electrons, because electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. Polar Covalent Bond: A bond where the electro … n pair is displaced toward the more electronegative atom. A polar bond is a type of bond in which the electrons of two atoms are unequally shared and has a difference in electronegativity between 0.4 and 2.0. The difference in el … ectronegativity of two non-polar atoms falls less than 0.4. Answered. <P> Best Answer: A polar covalent bond is a bond between two non-metals with different electronegativities. Only bonds between the same elements are truly nonpolar. The higher the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond is. Take a look at this table of electronegavities and let's try some examples. <P> Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. The greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. Bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. Nonpolar covalent bonds. 1 A bond between 2 nonmetal atoms that have the same electronegativity and therefore have equal sharing of the bonding electron pair. <P> By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Polar Bond Definition: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative. Polar bonds are the dividing line between pure covalent bonding and pure ionic bonding. Examples: Water is a polar bonded molecule.
A covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.

why did the Egyptians build pyramids
<P> The pyramids are the stone tombs of Egypt's kings-the Pharaohs and one of the world's greatest historical mysteries.

There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt. The three largest and best-preserved of these were built at Gizaat the beginning of the Old Kingdom. <P> The pyramids were built to protect the body of the deceased pharaoh. These massive tombs were constructed to withstand the elements of time and were intended to last forever. Most Ancient Egyptians planned for their death and the pharaoh was no exception. Before the first pyramid was ever constructed the Egyptians built mastabas. These tomblike structures were large tombs elevated above the ground. Eventually, this structure progressed into a small pyramid— six mastabas stacked on top of one another, each layer being smaller then the bottom one. <P> Confidence votes 122. Pyramids were built in Ancient Egypt as tombs, or burial places, for Egyptian pharaohs, or kings. They believed that the pyramids made you immortal. The Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so it was very important to them to protect the bodies of their pharaohs. In order to keep the body of the pharaoh safe, the insides of the pyramids were like mazes with secret doors and dead-end passages. <P> It was the Egyptians who built the Pyramids. The Great Pyramid is dated with all the evidence, I'm telling you now, to 4,600 years, the reign of Khufu. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of 104 Pyramids in Egypt with superstructure, and there are 54 Pyramids with substructure. Those are the people who really built the Pyramids, the poor Egyptians. It's very important to prove how the Pyramid was built. The Pyramid, you know, has magic, it has mystery. It's a structure that was built 4,600 years ago. <P> The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohsand their queens.

what makes a subculture unique
<P> Most large organizations also have numerous subcultures, which consist of the core values of the dominant culture and additional values unique to the subculture. Subcultures form when a group of people within an organization share a situation, problem, or experience that is unique to them. Another factor that contributes to the formation of subcultures in organizations is departmental designation. People who work in the same department often form a subculture based on a unique set of values, which help them perform their jobs and are exclusive to their <P> The hipster subculture has changed tremendously since the 1940’s and so has it’s ideals. What makes this subculture unique is the way they bring together different ideas or styles from other subcultures in order to form the “hipster” counter culture. We also get a sense of the music and the language that shape this subculture. In our current day and age, we tend to classify people based on what type of clothes they wear,the attitude they give off, and the group of people they hang out with, creating the ideology of different subcultures. Those who identify as “hipster” attempt to push away from mainstream ideas and tastes. <P> Edit Delete. ITT: Dat thread title. I figured that we might as well have some sort of mostly-objective definition of what makes a subculture what it is, because I find that the word is used too often without any connotation behind it. So, this could serve as a place for people to refer when they want to submit a “subculture” entry. <P> By Karen Sternheimer. Many people navigate living within both the broader society and a subculture that connects people together within a smaller group.The Amish are a unique subculture living in the U.S., in that they generally do not adopt the norms, customs, and lifestyle of the broader society. <P> Symbols The LGBT community is unique because it is a safe subculture for all who are LGBT or supporters from all walks of life. A unique part of the LGBT subculture is that there are many charities and projects that can be found within the subculture. <P> In short, a subculture is a group detaching itself from mainstream society, catering to certain people's ideologies and preferences.

Its quiet 19th century small town atmosphere is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter located directly across the Mississippi River. In the 1850s, the area’s railroad yard grew and flourished in the Elmira-Pacific-Atlantic area, eventually employing three to four thousand Algiers residents. The town of Algiers was annexed by the City of New Orleans in 1870. <P> Algiers is the capital city of Algeria in North Africa.

At age 21 he could read, write, do arithmetic, and cipher to the rule of three, which was as much as most teachers in Indiana could do. Abraham Lincoln's sister taught him and encouraged him to write. When he got tired of doing arithmetic, he would write poems. Abe thought school was simple. He did his work at night because of chores during the afternoon, and he sat in front of the fireplace, where he would get his only light.

induction of anesthesia definition
<P> induction of anesthesia, 1 the administration of a drug or combination of drugs at the beginning of an anesthetic that results in a state of general anesthesia. <P> General Considerations. General anesthesia (GA) is the state produced when a patient receives medications for amnesia, analgesia, muscle paralysis, and sedation. An anesthetized patient can be thought of as being in a controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness. <P> General anesthesia is the induction of a balanced state of unconsciousness, accompanied by the absence of pain sensation and the paralysis of skeletal muscle over the entire body. It is induced through the administration of anesthetic drugs and is used during major surgery and other invasive surgical procedures. <P> Induction: The patient is now ready for induction of general anesthesia, a critical part of the anesthesia process. In many ways, induction of general anesthesia is analogous to an airplane taking off. <P> Induction of anaesthesia is both the conduct of rendering a patient unconscious and the effect produced by adequate concentrations of an anaesthetic in the brain. It is followed by maintenance, emergence and recovery. <P> General anesthesia (GA) is the state produced when a patient receives medications for amnesia, analgesia, muscle paralysis, and sedation. <P> Abstract.

why does dna dissolve in water
<P> ethanol is very polar. don't believe that DNA is soluble in water. water molecules interact with the DNA. if you add enough ethanol, you will remove those water molecules from the DNA and the DNA will precipitate. furthermore, in the presence of salts... ethanol helps to pair the ions which aids in their precipitation. DNA consists of proteins that are polar. Water is polar so it is soluble in water. Alcohol is also non-polar, so insoluble in ethanol...u owe me 10 pts for this one. <P> Answers. Best Answer: DNA and RNA are both quite soluble in water. The cytosol of the cell is primarily composed of water, so if DNA and RNA weren't water soluble, they wouldn't happily stay put. In both DNA and RNA, the phosphate groups in the sugar-phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid strands have partial negative charges at cellular pH. This means that they attract polar water molecules and can thus be dissolved in solution. The-OH group of the alcohol is able to get in and bind to all the polar and charged portions of the DNA. Once this happens, the rest of the exposed portions of the alcohol molecules are nonpolar, so they don't mix with the water and the DNA bound by alcohol becomes visible. <P> Solubility Review. A solution is a mixture of two or more substances. The solute is the substance being dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that the solute is dissolved in. The solvent is often water. The process of creating a solution is called solvation. Not everything can dissolve in water – for example, oil will not dissolve in water. Whether or not a solute will dissolve in a particular solvent depends on the attraction between molecules. <P> In just water, the DNA isn't visible. The-OH group of the alcohol is able to get in and bind to all the polar and charged portions of the DNA. Once this happens, the rest of the exposed portions of the alcohol molecules are nonpolar, so they don't mix with the water and the DNA bound by alcohol becomes visible. <P> This makes DNA soluble in water. Alcohol on the other hand, is a non-polar molecule, meaning it has little to no charge. This type of chargeless molecule does not interact with and form hydrogen bonds with DNA and therefore cannot dissolve DNA. DNA consists of proteins that are polar. Water is polar so it is soluble in water. Alcohol is also non-polar, so insoluble in ethanol...u owe me 10 pts for this one. <P> Confidence votes 13. The short answer is, yes it does. When DNA is purified, you can obtain a solid pellet of pure DNA. It is common to then dissolve this pellet in water, although many scientists prefer to use buffers which are aqueous (water based) salt solutions that maintain pH. If there is a polar molecule it will bond in a network with the polar water molecules This is why water will not dissolve non-polar molecules because the polarity has no affect on a non-polar molecule. <P> Split and merge into it. Answer by YungSan3. Confidence votes 6. yes DNA is soluble in water. the phosphate backbone is negative so it is polar. This polarity allows water, which is also a polar molecule, to dissolve the DNA. <P> It is less polar enough that DNA is relatively insoluble in it. Like dissolves like.. Remember that polar and non-polar, and solubility are all relative terms, and solubility is defined quantitatively along a scale, not discretely or qualitatively; even water and oil mix to some extent. DNA consists of proteins that are polar. Water is polar so it is soluble in water. Alcohol is also non-polar, so insoluble in ethanol...u owe me 10 pts for this one. <P> Ethanol is less dense than water and will float on top. DNA is soluble in water, but salted DNA does not dissolve in ethanol and will form white clumps where the water and ethanol layers meet (Note 5). i Use a wooden stick or a straw (or a glass rod) to collect the DNA.
The phosphate backbone is negative so it is polar. This polarity allows water, which is also a polar molecule, to dissolve the DNA.
how long does the menstrual cycle last
<P> But, anywhere from 2 to 7 days is normal. For the first few years after menstruation begins, longer cycles are common. A woman's cycle tends to shorten and become more regular with age. Most of the time, periods will be in the range of 21 to 35 days apart. 1 Your periods become very irregular after having had regular, monthly cycles. 2 Your period occurs more often than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days. 3 You are bleeding for more than 7 days. 4 You are bleeding more heavily than usual or using more than 1 pad or tampon every 1 to 2 hours. <P> Don't worry if your early periods have longer cycles or don't follow a schedule. This irregularity is normal for at least the first 2 years. Your periods should become more regular within two years after you start menstruating. Some teens have a 28-day cycle; some have a 24-day cycle; others have a 30- to 34-day cycle. All of these are normal. For young teens, cycles can range from 21 to 45 days <P> There is a broad range of normal among menstruating women. Unpredictable or long menstrual cycles are normal for teenagers and women in their 40s. For teens, a normal cycle can be as short as 21 days or as long as 45 days. If you are a teen, you can expect cycles to even out over time. <P> On an average a period lasts between 3 to 5 days. It is normal for a girl to have irregular periods in the beginning. During this time, the duration of her periods may vary from as short as 2 days to as long as 7 days. It can take up to a year for periods to become regular. <P> During a period, there are usually 2-3 days of relatively heavy bleeding followed by 2-4 days of lighter flow. The fluid during a menstrual period is a mixture of uterine lining tissue and blood. The total mo nthly menstrual loss varies from about 4 to 12 teaspoons. The menstrual cycle is about four weeks long, starting on the first day of bleeding and ending when the next period begins. However, it can vary greatly when a girl first starts her period.

cost to connect to sewer main
<P> Private Plumbing Costs. These are your costs of hiring a private contractor or plumber to connect your building to the sewer branch at your property line. The city does not do this work or regulate the costs, and costs vary. They typically range from $2,500 to $7,000. City permits and inspection are required. <P> There are two main expenses to consider when connecting to a public sewer line: the fees charged by the sewer agency and the cost of having a plumber or contractor install a private sewer lateral, which is the section of underground pipe connecting the household wastewater plumbing to the public sewer line. 1 The city of Boston charges $7.41 4 per 1,000 gallons for daily water usage up to 19 cubic feet, with the fee gradually increasing as more water is used; the city estimates a typical annual charge of $867 for a family using 180 gallons a day or $2,997 a year for a household using 600 gallons of water daily. <P> The average cost to install a sewer main is $2,270. Most homeowners pay between $1,900 and $2,640 to have a new sewer main installed. The final cost of a sewer main installation project will depend on many factors, including whether any concrete or trees need to be removed and the length of the sewer main. Sewer Main Installation Cost Guide. A home's sewer main is the large pipe that delivers waste water from the home to the city's sanitary sewer system. Parts of the sewer main are the jurisdiction of the municipality, while the parts that fall on your property are your responsibility to install and maintain. <P> 1 Hookup fees to the city sewer cost a lot because the city or town providing the system needs to get back some of the costs of running sewer lines to your area. 2 Fees can cost anywhere from $5,000 to more than $20,000. However, the cost of sewer hookup is not affordable to many. 1 <P> Inspection Fee – To assure that the connection between the house and the sewer main is installed correctly, and thereby reduce the chance of sewer problems, the township engineer will inspect the lateral. The cost of the inspection for existing residences, $100, is included in the EDU cost. This ranges currently from about $4,300 to $7,700. Recent sewer main installations have ranged between $9,000 and $15,000. The sewer lateral cost depends on the length of pipe that needs to be run as well as any obstacles that may have to be addressed, but ranges from about $2,000 to $3,000. <P> 1 In New Hampshire, the one-time hookup fee for a single family detached residential structure is $2325 plus a $50 application fee for a residential use. 2 According the home page of San Diego county, a one-time connection capacity fee can be anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 for locations within 100’ of a public sewer main. However, the cost of sewer hookup is not affordable to many. 1 Hookup fees to the city sewer cost a lot because the city or town providing the system needs to get back some of the costs of running sewer lines to your area. 2 Fees can cost anywhere from $5,000 to more than $20,000. <P> Sewer Main Costs. 1 If you’ve noticed symptoms of a bad sewer main, it’s probably worth paying somebody $250 to $500 to use a diagnostic camera to check it out because main line sewer repair is expensive. 2 If the line is clogged by tree roots or other blockage, you can use a sewer snake to try and clear them out. 1 As an average, expect to pay $3,000 to $12,000 for a new sewer line. 2 Using the traditional dig and replace method, you’ll pay around $50/foot. 3 The pipe busting process uses a machine to push new line into the old one’s place. 4 This costs approximately $50 to $75 per foot. 5 Another option is what’s called slip lining. <P> 1 Private plumbing costs are to be paid to the contractor who will handle connecting your house to the city sewer branch at your property line which could range from $1,500 to $5,000. 2 To find a professional plumber in your area, websites such as HomeAdvisor.com can help you get more than three quotes.

rna retrovirus definition
<P> Retrovirus. Definition. noun, plural: retroviruses. Any of the group of viruses in the family Retroviridae. The virus is characterized by having a single-stranded RNA as its genetic material, which it uses to incorporate into the genome of the host cell as a means to propagate. Supplement. <P> any of a family of ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses containing the enzyme reverse transcriptase in the virion. The genetic information of the virus is stored in a molecule of single-stranded ribonucleic acid. Virology An RNA virus that encodes reverse transcriptase so that its RNA can be transcribed into DNA in a host cell; modified retroviruses are used as vectors to introduce genes–or portions thereof–of interest into eukaryotic cells. <P> Medical Definition of RETROVIRUS. : any of the family Retroviridae of single-stranded RNA viruses—called also RNA tumor virus. — ret·ro·vi·ral \-rəl\ adjective. — ret·ro·vi·ral·ly \-ē\ adverb. <P> Retrovirus. A retrovirus is an RNA virus that replicates in a host cell through the process of reverse transcription. First it uses its own reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome, reverse of the usual pattern, thus retro. This new DNA is then incorporated into the host's genome by an integrase enzyme <P> A type of virus that has RNA instead of DNA as its genetic material. It uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to become part of the host cells' DNA. This allows many copies of the virus to be made in the host cells. The virus that causes AIDS, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is a type of retrovirus. When a retrovirus infects a cell, it makes a DNA copy of its genome that is inserted into the DNA of the host cell. There are a variety of different retroviruses that cause human diseases, including the common cold, some forms of cancer, and AIDS. <P> Retrovirus: A virus that is composed not of DNA but of RNA. Retroviruses have an enzyme, called reverse transcriptase, that gives them the unique property of transcribing their RNA into DNA after entering a cell. The retroviral DNA can then integrate into the chromosomal DNA of the host cell, to be expressed there. HIV is a retrovirus. <P> Retroviridae is a family of enveloped viruses that replicate in a host cell through the process of reverse transcription. A retrovirus is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with a DNA intermediate and, as an obligate parasite, targets a host cell. However, retroviruses function differently – their RNA is reverse-transcribed into DNA, which is integrated into the host cell's genome (when it becomes a provirus), and then undergoes the usual transcription and translational processes to express the genes carried by the virus. <P> A retrovirus is a virus that uses RNA as its genetic material. When a retrovirus infects a cell, it makes a DNA copy of its genome that is inserted into the DNA of the host cell. There are a variety of different retroviruses that cause human diseases, including the common cold, some forms of cancer, and AIDS. <P> Noun. 1. retrovirus-any of a group of viruses that contain two single-strand linear RNA molecules per virion and reverse transcriptase (RNA to DNA); the virus transcribes its RNA into a cDNA provirus that is then incorporated into the host cell. animal virus-an animal pathogen that is a virus.
It is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with a DNA intermediate and as an obligate parasite,targets a host cell.
why are surgical procedures performed on icu
<P> 1 A portable, practical book on bedside procedures in ICU. 2 ICU is an environment with a high incidence of interventions, most textbooks mention them but do not provide detailed guidance how to perform them, when to perform them and how to assess it after the procedure. <P> The ICU is becoming a more common location where selected bedside procedures are being performed. Reasons to perform bedside procedures in the ICU rather than the operating room include cost savings, elimination of risks of transporting critically ill patients, and avoidance of OR availability concerns. The most common procedures performed in the ICU include percutaneous tracheostomy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and inferior vena cava filter. Performing these procedures in the ICU is equally safe and more cost effective than performing them in the OR. <P> The adjective surgical means pertaining to surgery; e.g. surgical instruments or surgical nurse. The patient or subject on which the surgery is performed can be a person or an animal. A surgeon is a person who practices surgery and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up of surgeon, surgeon's assistant, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse and surgical technologist. <P> Surgical procedures performed in the neonatal intensive care unit on critically ill neonates: feasibility and safety. Mallick MS(1), Jado AM, Al-Bassam AR. Author information: (1)Pediatric Surgery, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. <P> Procedures of a more urgent nature can also be performed in the ICU and include laparotomy and damage control orthopaedics. Patient instability often dictates the need for these procedures to be performed in the ICU. Conclusion. The operating room is no longer the only location that surgical procedures can be performed. The most common procedures performed in the ICU include percutaneous tracheostomy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and inferior vena cava filter. Performing these procedures in the ICU is equally safe and more cost effective than performing them in the OR. <P> Increasingly, surgical procedures are performed at bedside in the intensive care unit (ICU). Cost savings and gaining timely access to the operating room (OR) have helped to spur this trend towards more ICU-based procedures. The most common procedures performed in the ICU include percutaneous tracheostomy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and inferior vena cava filter. Performing these procedures in the ICU is equally safe and more cost effective than performing them in the OR. <P> When it comes to neurosurgical intensive care services, there is a Beaumont difference and it's not just the doctors. It's the Neuro ICU team. An intensive care unit (ICU) is a specially trained area of the hospital providing patients with personalized care from a team of experts. In the Neuro ICU, patients receive care around the clock and are closely monitored. Some hospitals may have more than one type of ICU, like medical, surgical or cardiac. Royal Oak's 5th floor East Tower is the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit. The length of stay in the Neuro ICU depends on surgery, condition and progress. <P> Surgery usually spans minutes to hours, but it is typically not an ongoing or periodic type of treatment. The term surgery can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian. A surgeon is a person who practices surgery and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up of surgeon, surgeon's assistant, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse and surgical technologist. <P> For example, recovery will likely be longer for an open-heart procedure than for a less invasive procedure. You may have to stay in the hospital for about 7 to 10 days. Most people spend the first 2 or 3 days after surgery in an intensive care unit (ICU) where they can be closely watched.
Cost savings and gaining timely access to the operating room (OR) have helped to spur this trend towards more ICU-based procedures.
what is egg binding turtles
<P> Please try again later. Egg binding is unfortunately a very common situation in reptiles and avian patients, egg binding is a multifactorial disease that progress rapidly and might kill the bounded female. For some reason the female is unable to pass an egg that has formed. <P> In farming, aviculture and animal husbandry, the term egg binding refers to a medical condition in birds or other egg-laying animals, where the female is unable to pass an egg that has formed. The egg may be stuck near the cloaca, or further inside. Egg binding is a reasonably common, and potentially serious, condition that can lead to infection or damage to internal tissue. The bound egg may be gently massaged out; failing this it may become necessary to break the egg in situ and remove it in parts. <P> Causes of Dystocia, A common cause of egg binding in pet box turtles is not having a good spot to lay the eggs. She may simply try to hold onto the eggs until she can find a suitable spot. They can also lay infertile eggs at any time. If your female box turtle is acting strangely, she could be having trouble laying her eggs. This is called egg binding or, more formally, dystocia. Dystocia is fairly common in reptiles and there are many reasons it can happen. <P> (My other turtles have successfully laid their eggs in this mix). There is a temperature gradient of 72 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, and an evening temp of 70 to 72 degrees at night. The nesting mix is covered in a thin layer of cypress mulch. <P> Inactive reptiles may not be able to exert the substantial muscular effort needed to lay an egg or pass young.. Dystocia (difficult birth or egg binding) happens when the female reptile is unable to pass her eggs or fetus. It is a reasonably common problem in reptiles and can be life threatening. It is a problem seen with snakes, turtles and lizards. It is caused by a variety of factors. <P> Egg binding actually occurs quite frequently in turtles and it can have fatal effects. Egg binding occurs when the female has eggs that she is ready to lay in her body but does not actually release them. One of the primary causes of egg binding is that the female turtle is actually unable to lay her eggs. This can occur if for some reason she has developed oversized eggs. In this case the eggs can be too large to pass through her pelvic bone. Occasionally a female turtle will have sustained an injury to her pelvic bone <P> If she does not lay her eggs, she might lay eggs in the water or retain them, which would cause egg binding. If the turtle has laid one or two eggs in the water, you still need to provide a nesting area. It is likely that the entire clutch was not laid and she is still gravid. Egg binding, egg retention or dystocia occurs when eggs are abnormally held within the body. These eggs can decay, deteriorate or become calcified <P> Egg-binding occurs when a female cannot pass the mature eggs formed in her reproductive system. In one survey it was found to occur in approximately 10% of the reptile population. It is reported more often in snakes and turtles, and less so in lizards. Email Article. Egg-binding, also referred to as ' dystocia ,' 'egg retention,' or 'post-ovulatory stasis' is common in many reptile species, including iguanas, snakes, and turtles. In many cases it is preventable with good nutrition and husbandry
A very common situation in reptiles and avian patients, egg binding is a multifactorial disease that progress rapidly and might kill the bounded female.

who was first to put pineapple on pizza
<P> It starts with the crustiest homemade pizza crust. Ham, pineapple, cheese, and sauce haphazardly arranged on top. And there’s bacon. I don’t think bacon is a traditional topping on Hawaiian pizza, but in Kevin’s words “everything goes with bacon.” So naturally… there’s lots of bacon on our hawaiian pizza. Let’s talk about this pizza crust for a sec. <P> For dough mix ... it with the pineapple. Put in ... preheated to 425 degrees and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Check bottom until it is golden brown and then enjoy. <P> Place crust on a pizza pan dusted with cornmeal. Combine marinara sauce and TABASCO ® Buffalo Style Sauce in a small bowl and spread over crust in a circular motion with the back of a large spoon so it almost reaches the edges. Sprinkle pineapple and ham evenly around surface, then follow with green onion and cheese. Bake pizza on top rack of a 500°F oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until surface is lightly browned. Cut into slices and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings. <P> ... in the year 1521 the Italian Antonio Pigafetta (nice name) discovered pineapple in Brazil on his circumnavigation of the globe. Being homesick he made pizza and not having tomatoes and cheese added pineapple and tuna. In 1493, Columbus first brought the pineapple back to Renaissance Europe that was largely devoid of sweet foods, including fresh fruit. The pineapple's exotic nature and sweetness soon made it an item that soon acquired both popularity and curiosity for centuries after its European arrival. <P> Transfer 1 dough to each prepared baking sheet. Spoon the marinara sauce over the dough, dividing equaling and leaving a 1-inch border around each pizza. Sprinkle the cheeses over the sauce. Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer over the cheeses. Sprinkle with the ham. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, about 12 minutes. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. <P> Pineapple is not necessarily the best topping for an artisanal pizza--I would not recommend it on a Motorino pie, for example. (Because if I were at Motorino, I would order the brussels sprout and pancetta pizza. I fall squarely into the I Love Pineapple Pizza Camp. As the soon-to-be wife of the Slicemeister General, I try to keep my love on the down low, along with my other guilty pleasures, which include Billy Joel, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Crocs. I know. I have no taste. But stay with me here. Tomatoes are a fruit. <P> unpocojmoney. I'm making pizza for a bunch of friends this weekend and one has requested pineapple as a topping. For the record, I reside firmly in the no pineapple on pizza camp. But I was thinking this might be a fun chance to make pineapple on pizza into something classy. <P> Hawaiian pizza is a pizza that usually consists of a cheese and tomato base with pieces of ham and pineapple. Often versions will have mixed peppers, mushrooms and bacon. Another variety consists of pineapple and Canadian bacon. or American Bacon. Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza is not a Hawaiian invention; it is Canadian. The Village Voice, National Post, Toronto Sun, London Free Press and The Chatham Daily News have covered Sam Panopoulos' claim that he created the first Hawaiian pizza at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, Canada in 1962.

total variable cost formula
<P> By dividing the total variable costs for a specific period by that same period's production volume will provide us with the variable cost per spark plug. For example, if the spark plug business made 500,000 units last year, its unit variable cost is $90,000 / 500,000, or $0.18. Formula of Variable Cost. The formula to calculate variable cost is: Total Variable Cost = Total Quantity of Output * Variable Cost Per Unit of Output. To recognize variable costs, it is important to understand how to categorize costs. Variable costs are those which do not remain constant, specifically when production activities fluctuate <P> Variable costs are corporate expenses that vary in direct proportion to the quantity of output. Unlike fixed costs, which remain constant regardless of output, variable costs are a direct function of production volume, rising whenever production expands and falling whenever it contracts. From this information, we can conclude that each widget costs 10 cents ($10,000 / 100,000 widgets) in raw materials and 50 cents ($50,000 / 100,000 widgets) in direct labor costs. Using the formula above, we can calculate that XYZ Company's total variable cost on the order is: 5,000 x ($0.10 + $0.50) = $3,000. Therefore, the company can reasonably expect to earn a $2,000 gross profit ($5,000 - $3,000) from the order <P> Definition: Total variable cost is the aggregate amount of all variable costs associated with the cost of goods sold in a reporting period. It is a key component in the analysis of corporate profitability. The components of total variable cost are only those costs that vary in relation to production or sales volume. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: variable cost = Total Cost-fixed cost $10.00 - $5.00 = $5.00 As output is 1 unit, average variable cost = $5.00 ($5.00 / 1) So, the formula is: variable cost = $5.00 * output. Source(s): Olga Z · 8 years ago. Thumbs up. RE: Variable cost formula? How would you find the variable cost??? when given &quot;&quot;if price was $3.00 and the fixed cost was $5.00&quot;&quot; and the following table... Output---------------1 Price---------------$5.00 Total Cost--------$10.00 Total Revenue--$5.00 How is it possible to know that without... <P> (Average fixed cost + Average variable cost) x Number of units = Total cost. For example, a company is incurring $10,000 of fixed costs to produce 1,000 units (for an average fixed cost per unit of $10), and its variable cost per unit is $3. At the 1,000-unit production level, the total cost of the production is: ($10 Average fixed cost + $3 Average variable cost) x 1,000 Units = $13,000 Total cost. There are several problems with the total cost formula, which are as follows: The total cost formula is used to derive the combined variable and fixed costs of a batch of goods or services. The formula is the average fixed cost per unit plus the average variable cost per unit, multiplied by the number of units. The calculation is: <P> A cost measure directly related to total variable cost is average variable cost. Total variable cost is the opportunity cost incurred in the short-run production that depends on the quantity of output. As the name clearly implies, total variable cost is variable, it changes. The center column is the total variable cost of producing each quantity, which is exactly $0 if no Stuffed Amigos are produced and rises to $43 if 10 Stuffed Amigos are produced. This is the essence of variable cost. Greater production entails greater total

literary terms what is a connotation
<P> A. Connotation is the literal meaning of a word, while denotation is the figurative meaning. B. Connotation is the implied meaning of a word and/or the emotional associations with it, while denotation is the dictionary definition. C. Connotation is the positive association with a word, while denotation is the negative association with it. The connotation definition is therefore not the explicit meaning of the word, but rather the meaning that the word implies. Connotation comes from the Latin word “connotare,” which means, “to mark in addition.”. In some cases, connotation can also be similar to symbolism as it hinges on culturally-accepted meanings. <P> The connotation of a word refers to the emotional or cultural association with that word rather than its dictionary definition.

There is no roundabout, covert manner employed and hence denotation is the opposite of connotation. <P> Definition of Connotation vs. Denotation. Words can have several meanings. The literal meanings, the denotation, are direct, realistic, and often found in the dictionary. What the word suggests or implies, the connotation, is symbolic, culturally constructed, and often influences the interpretation of poetry or literature. <P> Definition: The denotation of connotation is the suggestive meaning of a word, and all of the cultural associations it brings up. Two words can mean exactly the same thing and have wildly different connotations. For example, if you call someone economical, it's a polite, positive way of saying they're smart with money. <P> Connotation Definition. Connotation refers to a meaning that is implied by a word apart from the thing which it describes explicitly. Words carry cultural and emotional associations or meanings in addition to their literal meanings or denotations. For example, the words childish, childlike and youthful have the same denotative but different connotative meanings. Childish and childlike have a negative connotation as they refer to immature behavior of a person. Whereas, youthful implies that a person is lively and energetic. <P> Denotation Definition. Denotation is generally defined as literal or dictionary meanings of a word in contrast to its connotative or associated meanings. Let us try to understand this term with the help of an example. Denotation Examples in Literature. Let us analyze a few examples from literature: 1. An example of denotation literary term can be found in the poetic work of Robert Frost ’s “Mending Wall”: “And on a day we meet to walk the line. And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go.

However, the most common symptoms include: 1 Nausea or recurrent upset stomach. 2 Abdominal bloating. 3 Abdominal pain. 4 Vomiting. 5 Indigestion. 6 Burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach between meals or at night. <P> Background. The term gastritis was first used in 1728 by the German Physician, Georg Ernst Stahl to describe the inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach-now known to be secondary to mucosal injury (ie, cell damage and regeneration). Helicobacter pylori is the leading cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma. First described by Marshall and Warren in 1983, H pylori is a spiral gram-negative rod that has the ability to colonize the stomach and infect the stomach. <P> When the stomach lining is inflamed, it produces less acid, enzymes, and mucus. Gastritis may be acute or chronic. Sudden, severe inflammation of the stomach lining is called acute gastritis. Inflammation that lasts for a long time is called chronic gastritis. About Gastritis. Gastritis is a condition in which the stomach lining—known as the mucosa —is inflamed. The stomach lining contains special cells that produce acid and enzymes, which help break down food for digestion, and mucus, which protects the stomach lining from acid. <P> Erosive gastritis is a type of gastritis that often does not cause significant inflammation but can wear away the stomach lining. Erosive gastritis can cause bleeding, erosions, or ulcers. Erosive gastritis may be acute or chronic. The relationship between gastritis and symptoms is not clear. About Gastritis.

how much does it cost to make biodiesel per gallon
<P> These chemicals cost around $215 per drum of Methanol & $55 per sack of Sodium Hydroxide Lye (prices fluctuate with the market), figure 2x the cost for the lye if you wish to use Potassium Hydroxide Lye instead. Below is a cost breakdown to make your first 280 gallons of fuel in 40 gallon batches. So 3 batches = 120 gallons of WVO which means your driving time will equate to 20 minutes of driving time per 40 gallon batch. Collecting 120 gallons of WVO will take about 30 minutes if using a truck bed crane to collect the oil. <P> Subtracting the $1.00-per-gallon tax credit results in a market demand price of $3.15 per gallon. The spot price of Midwest diesel was approximately $2.80 per gallon, indicating a 35¢-per-gallon difference in the market demand price for biodiesel and diesel. The subsidy would have to vary inversely with the price of diesel to ensure a $4.50 biodiesel price. If blenders are willing to pay 35¢ more per gallon for biodiesel than for diesel, then the required variable tax credit would equal $4.15 minus the wholesale price of diesel. The cost of meeting the biodiesel mandate using tax credits would be borne fully by taxpayers <P> Of the farms that use our biodiesel processors and have calculated their costs, they are averaging around $1.50 to $2.50 per gallon to make their own fuel. Comparing that to the price of diesel, they are still saving a lot of money. See how much you could save using our Return on investment calculator. A: If you or your business has access to used cooking oil for free (you already paid for it), the cost to make fuel in a BioPro is roughly $0.95/gallon. 95 cents is the cost of the other inputs, including electricity, required to make biodiesel in a BioPro™. <P> Even with petroleum diesel at $4 per gallon, farm-based renewable fuel can't compete on price. By Marianne Lavelle. + More. The retail cost of highway diesel fuel is $3.99 per gallon—thanks to tough environmental rules and strong global demand, especially in Europe. The national average retail price of diesel hit an all-time high for five weeks in a row, is above $4 per gallon in plenty of places, and is up 50 percent over one year ago. <P> The price of biodiesel ultimately depends on the blend. B20, for instance, cost about $3.08 in October 2007, three cents lower than regular diesel's $3.11 average at the time. <P> WVO weighs about 7.5 pounds per gallon which puts the price of WVO right at $3.30 per gallon (and no, that’s not a typo–it really is that high). So before they’ve even sold a drop of fuel, it’s possible for a Biodiesel plant to make $3.12 per gallon IN ADDITION to what they will sell the Biodiesel for on the open market. <P> If you had purchased the 280 gallons of fuel at the pump at $3 per gallon, it would have cost you $840 for this fuel. You have saved a lot of money already! Time... every body wants to know how much time it takes to make BioDiesel. So 3 batches = 120 gallons of WVO which means your driving time will equate to 20 minutes of driving time per 40 gallon batch. Collecting 120 gallons of WVO will take about 30 minutes if using a truck bed crane to collect the oil. <P> Biodiesel cost right at $ 4.50 US to make, even clubs and coops can’t make it any cheaper. So blend in some 15% at $ 4.50 plus 85% at $ 2.00 and you get $ 2.35 less a tax credit of $ .15. add $ .50 per gallon tax and bingo, biodiesel cost $ 2.70 versus $ 2.50 per gallon, or just about 10% higher for B20. Bio diesel also has a little less energy be gallon the regular. B20 means the diesel contains 20% biodiesel (actually it contains 15% to 22%) and the rest good old diesel from petroleum. The reason for this is that B100 (1005 pure biodiesel) turns to a jelly at 40 to 50 F and your car engine will stop cold (sorry for the pun).

Once I completed my PhD, I expected about $25,000/yr as an entry level pay. According to the Occupational Handbook, the average biologist makes about $31,300/yr. Most biologists with PhDs (who often become professors at universities) make $40-50,000/yr. A: Of course, lots of Biology; but you will also need a basic understanding of science in general (e.g. Chemistry and Physics) and mathematics (at least up to Calculus). Computer, technical/electrical, and typing skills would also be helpful. <P> Marine biologists must complete at least a bachelor’s degree, which takes about four years. Marine biologists who pursue master’s degrees may take an additional two to three years to complete their education, and earning a PhD will take up to six years more. Some colleges and universities offer undergraduate degree programs in marine biology. Marine biology students take courses that focus on oceanography, marine vegetation, marine invertebrates, marine vertebrates, and marine ecology. Many of the schools that offer marine biology programs are located near an ocean. <P> Field Experience. Gaining practical experience is an important part of a marine biologist's training. The venue for that experience will vary, depending on the budding biologist's area of interest. Some might find work with a fishery or aquaculture company, studying commercially important fish species. <P> You go to college to become a Marine Biologist. You take oceanography classes, basic Bio, etc. In order to be a professor you must hold a degree higher than that which you teach. For example if you hold a master's degree you would can be a professor for a bachelor's program level class. There is no license or certification to become a marine biologist; usually a BS and/or MS degree in biology, specializing in marine science or marine biology, wiht the a … ppropriate field experience, would suffice as credentials. There are several marine biology websites. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: There is two major components to a career in marine biology; schooling and experience. You will need at least a Bachelors degree to find a job in this field, this means that you will have to go to school for an absolute minimum of 4 years in the US (3 in the UK). However obtaining a Masters course or even a Phd. (a Doctorate) is highly recommended as it will dramatically increase job opportunities. This Site Might Help You. RE: What type of schooling do you need to become a Marine Biologist? I am really really really interested in Marine Biology and was curious what schooling you need to go through to become one. <P> If you want to become a marine biologist you will have to learn about science. Ask your teachers for projects to do with living creatures. Don't think that you only need to know biology. Marine creatures are made of chemicals and they are physical things, just like plastic toys and wooden chairs. If you truly wanted to do research on marine mammals you could enter this field through one of two routes. First, you could become a biology major in college, taking courses in vertebrate biology, physiology and evolution.
A bachelor’s degree, which takes about four years
what is the purpose of hub rings
<P> A hub centric ring’s sole purpose is to help align and center the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle’s hub pilot. Once the wheel assembly is torqued, the hub centric ring’s job is complete. Hub rings help reduce and can eliminate wheel and tire vibrations caused during installation. Hub rings do not carry any load. Hub centric rings are sized by the outer diameter to inner diameter. The outer diameter is the hub bore of the wheel and the inner diameter is the hub pilot on the vehicle. Here’s an example: The hub pilot on a 2000 Nissan Altima is 66.1mm. <P> The term Centric refers to the way a wheel is centered. In other words a hub centric wheel centers on the hub of the car, if you put the wheel on the car without lug nuts the wheel would be perfectly centered. On a lug centric wheel, the wheels are centered by the lugs as they are tightened down. For example: the center bore of all 4x100mm and 5x100mm wheels is 64mm. However, the hub diameter of the Honda is 56.1mm. Therefore to take up the space between 64mm and 56.1mm a hub ring is used. <P> First, some terms you will need to know. “ 1 Hub Pilot” – Hub Pilot refers to the center of your vehicle’s axle in which your wheel rotates around. “ 2 Hub Centric Wheels” – Hub centric wheels have a center bore that matches the vehicle’s hub pilot. Hub centric rings are sized by the outer diameter to inner diameter. The outer diameter is the hub bore of the wheel and the inner diameter is the hub pilot on the vehicle. Here’s an example: The hub pilot on a 2000 Nissan Altima is 66.1mm. <P> The centric ring is a device used with the rims and are installed between the car wheel hub and the rim. The purpose of the hub centric ring is to fill the empty space between the wheel hub and the center bore of the rim. Centric rings are usually made of durable industrial plastic. Centric rings are also made of aluminum. The purpose of the centric ring is to perfectly center the alloy wheel to the wheel hub and hence prevent vibration to the steering wheel during driving and the shaking which typically appears around speeds of 40-60 mph. Driving fe eling WITHOUT and WITH the hub centric ring: <P> Hub centric rings, typically made of plastic or metal, are designed and used to fill the gap between the hub pilot of the vehicle and the center bore of the wheel. Hub centric rings are sized by the outer diameter to inner diameter. The outer diameter is the hub bore of the wheel and the inner diameter is the hub pilot on the vehicle. Here’s an example: The hub pilot on a 2000 Nissan Altima is 66.1mm. <P> Read below to find out why this may be happening. Wheel Hub Centric Rings are designed to fill in the gap between the hub of the car and the center bore of the wheel. Most wheel manufacturers design their wheels with a centerbore large enough to fit on most cars. Therefore, since wheel manufactures make their center bore large enough to fit most cars, most wheel fitments have a gap between the hub and the centerbore. <P> Using our Hub Centric Ring Application Search input your cars make, model, and year information along with your wheel's manufacturer, our database will decide the correct centering rings for your application, and if we have the correct size hub ring in stock, it will show up in our search results. Most wheel manufacturers design their wheels with a centerbore large enough to fit on most cars. Therefore, since wheel manufactures make their center bore large enough to fit most cars, most wheel fitments have a gap between the hub and the centerbore. <P> … wheels have previously been used on the vehicle, verify that the previous wheel's hub centering rings have been removed from the hubs. If your vehicle is equipped with drum brakes and if the drum's outer flange or balance weights protrude further out than the center of the drum, verify that the wheel …. The hub is the center portion of the wheel and is what attaches the wheel to the suspension. The spokes radiate out from the hub and attach to the rim. The rim is the outer part of the wheel that holds the tire. While many people refer to wheels as rims , this is technically incorrect. <P> Hub rings serve no purpose after installation, their entire job is to hold your Alba Performance wheel perfectly centered while the lug nuts are being installed. The hub rings sole responsibility is to take up the space between the center bore of the wheel and the hub of the car. For example: the center bore of all 4x100mm and 5x100mm wheels is 64mm. However, the hub diameter of the Honda is 56.1mm. Therefore to take up the space between 64mm and 56.1mm a hub ring is used.
The purpose is to fill the empty space between the wheel hub and the center bore of the rim.
when did cuba become part of the united states

However, Cuba was only a US possession for four years. US President Theodore Roosevelt was sympathetic to the Cuban independence movement and the US recognized a free cuba in 1902. <P> Furthermore, as the dependence of Cuban sugar on the U.S. market increased, the Cuban sugar producers were more and more at the mercy of the U.S. refiners to whom they sold their raw sugar. In 1894 nearly 90 percent of Cuba's exports went to the United States, which in turn provided Cuba with 38 percent of its imports. That same year Spain took only 6 percent of Cuba's exports, providing it with just 35 percent of its imports. Clearly, Spain had ceased to be Cuba's economic metropolis. <P> Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes before the landing of explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492, who claimed it for the Kingdom of Spain.

what is pu coating
<P> Acrylic coating. An acrylic coating is a thin (acrylic) layer applied to one side of the fabric. Compared to a PU coating it looks glossy. It does make the fabric waterproof when new, but the bit of thin film which bridges the gap where four threads cross can break down, either with time, use or pressure. That is, a coating of silicone polyer has been applied to both sides. Well, fair enough, but there is a huge difference in the result between PU and silicone coating. The PU coating sits on the surface of the fabric, but the silicone polymer goes right in. <P> Non-isocyanate based polyurethanes (NIPUs) have recently been developed as a new class of polyurethane polymers to mitigate health and environmental concerns. Polyurethane products often are simply called “urethanes”, but should not be confused with ethyl carbamate, which is also called urethane. Polyurethanes, especially those made using aromatic isocyanates, contain chromophores that interact with light. This is of particular interest in the area of polyurethane coatings, where light stability is a critical factor and is the main reason that aliphatic isocyanates are used in making polyurethane coatings. <P> We are a renowned manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of Polyurethane (PU) Coatings such as PU Wood Coatings, PU Metal Coatings, PU Glass Coatings, PU Plastic Coatings, PU Architectural Coatings, Polyurethane Floor Coating and PU Auto Refinishes. <P> Polyurethane is a resilient, flexible and durable manufactured material that can take the place of paint, cotton, rubber, metal or wood in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be hard like fiberglass, squishy like upholstery foam, protective like varnish, bouncy like rubber or sticky like glue. <P> Industrial Polyurethane Coating Services. Polyurethane coating on metal provides a thin film, high gloss finish with exceptional weathering performance characteristics. This coating is used in virtually all industrial markets to provide a smooth durable finish that has superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. <P> Although typically epoxies are one of the most popular floor coatings for commercial and industrial sites, urethane floor coating (or polyurethane floor finish) is still regarded by many as the most reliable and economical choice when it comes to a high-quality floor finish. The term “Urethane” is used interchangeably with the term “Polyurethane” when talking about the manufacture and installation of floor covering products. Both terms refer to a polymerizing carabamic compound that produces flexible, non-toxic floor coatings. <P> Polyurethane synthesis, wherein the urethane groups — NH-(C=O)-O-link the molecular units. Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is a polymer composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. Polyurethanes, especially those made using aromatic isocyanates, contain chromophores that interact with light. This is of particular interest in the area of polyurethane coatings, where light stability is a critical factor and is the main reason that aliphatic isocyanates are used in making polyurethane coatings. <P> You need to look after PU-coated fabric. The PU coating itself can absorb water molecules-that's how it 'breathes' after all. The technical term for this behaviour is that the coating is 'hydrophilic' (water loving). But as a result, water can act as a very slow solvent to polyurethane. That is, a coating of silicone polyer has been applied to both sides. Well, fair enough, but there is a huge difference in the result between PU and silicone coating. The PU coating sits on the surface of the fabric, but the silicone polymer goes right in. <P> Confidence votes 2. Polyurethane coatings provide a thin film, high gloss finish with exceptional weathering performance characteristics. This coating is used in virtually all industrial markets to provide a smooth durable finish that has superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. <P> Polyurethane is a plastic material, which exists in various forms. It can be tailored to be either rigid or flexible, and is the material of choice for a broad range of end-user applications such as: 1 insulation of refrigerators and freezers. 2 building insulation. 3 cushioning for furniture. 4 mattresses. 5 car parts. 6 coating

when is raising the minimum wage bad
<P> Department of Labor statistics indicate that a 10% raise in the Minimum Wage leads to 4.6% to 9.0% fewer workers from low-income demographics getting jobs. As the cost of living rises, however, many politicians have pushed strongly for minimum wage raise. President Obama, a supporter of raising the federal minimum wage, called for an increase to $9.50 per hour by the end of 2011. Firstly, it's common for the minimum wage to remain the same for as long as 7-8 years before it is raised again. The Minimum Wage has only been $7.25 since 2009. Second, raising the Minimum Wage is a controvertial subject for politicians because it hurts businesses. <P> The Federal Minimum Wage was last raised to $7.25 per hour in 2009 from the previus minimum wage rate of $6.55. The Minimum Wage is raised by an act of Congress, and has no set schedule, but is generally raised every 3-7 years in response to rising inflation and cost-of-living. Firstly, it's common for the minimum wage to remain the same for as long as 7-8 years before it is raised again. The Minimum Wage has only been $7.25 since 2009. Second, raising the Minimum Wage is a controvertial subject for politicians because it hurts businesses. <P> Nineteen states now have minimum wages over $7.25 an hour. The highest is in Washington State, where the minimum wage is $9.19 an hour. Cities, too, have enacted laws raising pay for low-wage workers. In 2003, Santa Fe, New Mexico adopted a citywide $8.50 an hour living-wage law with regular cost-of-living increases. As soon as President Barack Obama called on Congress to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour in his State of the Union address last week, you could see Speaker John Boehner, seated behind the president, uttering his religious mantra: Job killer.. <P> by Veronique de Rugy. We heard many bad and tired ideas during last night’s State of the Union address, and one of them was the promise to raise the minimum wage, to $9 dollar an hour. Neumark, who has done extensive research on the issue, summarizes his results the following way: “Based on 20 years of research, I doubt there is ever a good time to raise the minimum wage.” And the negative consequences are worse when unemployment is high. <P> Protestors urge a raise in the minimum wage outside the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center April 29 in Washington, DC. Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images. By the end of 2015, 29 states and the District of Columbia will have minimum wages above the federal $7.25 an hour. The CBO estimated the effects of raising the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour and $10.10 an hour (we’ll stick with the latter example), and arrived at two central conclusions, one touted by opponents and one touted by proponents of raising the wage. <P> The last time Congress raised the federal minimum wage was in 2007, when President George W. Bush reluctantly signed the bill passed by the Democratic Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15 an hour (where it had stood for ten years) to $7.25 an hour (phased in over several years). As soon as President Barack Obama called on Congress to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour in his State of the Union address last week, you could see Speaker John Boehner, seated behind the president, uttering his religious mantra: Job killer.. <P> Obama and his advisors seem to believe that if the minimum wage were raised and then indexed, all workers would retain their jobs. But this is not the case. Between 2007 and 2009, the federal hourly minimum wage rose to $7.25 in three steps from the $5.15 rate that had prevailed for a decade. If the wage were raised to $9 and then indexed for inflation, it would rise every year. <P> According to an analysis done by the American Enterprise Institute, the variance in these numbers is really quite large. For example, if Des Moines, Iowa, had a minimum wage of $10.10, that would only equal a $4.12 per hour rate when measured by the real costs of working and living in New York City. On the other hand, it would take $24.77 to equal the Des Moines rate. <P> Specifically, he advocates setting a minimum wage at half of the median full-time wage in a given jurisdiction, a standard that would have yielded minimum wages ranging from $12.45 in Massachusetts to $7.97 in Mississippi. Suffice it to say, there is a great deal of distance between $7.97 and $15. In Massachusetts, very few workers would be affected by an increase in the federal minimum wage to $10.10, as the Bay State already has a $9 minimum wage that is set to increase to $11 by 2017. But in Mississippi, as many as 28 percent of workers would be affected.

One theory for this is that “Juliet” is associated with “July”.

why was the endangered species act created
<P> The ESA is vital, but it operates more like an emergency room, not preventive care. By that point, species are already on life support—and the price tag is high. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was created in 1973 to save America’s most vulnerable wildlife. However, the way it works today isn’t enough to protect our wildlife going forward. <P> The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) provides for both the conservation and protection of plant and animal species that face the threat of extinction as well as for the ecosystems upon which they depend.. Species must be endangered or threatened throughout a significant portion of their range. The ESA replaced the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969; the ESA has been amended several times. Fossil records show that in the distant past animals and plants have had finite lifetimes. <P> The Endangered Species Act, whose main purpose is to protect imperiled species from extinction due to the consequences of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation, has come under fire both from conservation biologists and interests groups advocating for private property rights. <P> The combined result of the amendments to the Endangered Species Act have created a law vastly different from the ESA of 1973. It is now a flexible, permitting statute. For example, the law now permits incidental takes (accidental killing or harming a listed species). As habitat loss is the primary threat to most imperiled species, the Endangered Species Act of 1973 allowed the Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS) to designate specific areas as protected critical habitat zones. <P> The Endangered Species Act (ESA for short) was enacted by Congress in 1973. Under the ESA, the federal government has the responsibility to protect: 1 Endangered Species-species that are likely to become extinct throughout all or a large portion of their range. In order to be listed as a candidate, a species has to be found to qualify for protected status under the Endangered Species Act. Whether or not a species is listed as endangered or threatened then depends on a number of factors, including the urgency and whether adequate protections exist through other means. <P> The endangered Fender's blue butterfly and its host plant, the threatened Kincaid's lupine. Photo credit: USFWS. Congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1966, providing a means for listing native animal species as endangered and giving them limited protection. It. 1 defined “endangered” and “threatened” [ section 3 2 ]; made plants and all invertebrates eligible for protection [ section 3 3 ]; applied broad “take” prohibitions to all endangered animal species and allowed the prohibitions to apply to threatened animal species by special regulation [ section 9 ]; <P> As more species are found to warrant listing under the Endangered Species Act, it is more important than ever that this vital tool for wildlife conservation be kept strong and capable of preventing extinctions and putting imperiled species back on the road to a successful recovery. What Defenders is Doing for the Endangered Species Act. Defenders of Wildlife works on several fronts to ensure that the ESA can continue to prevent extinctions and promote imperiled species’ recovery. <P> ESA Fact Sheet. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) was signed on December 28, 1973, and provides for the conservation of species that are endangered or threatened throughout all or a significant portion of their range, and the conservation of the ecosystems on which they depend. <P> The Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Defense were to seek to protect listed species, and, insofar as consistent with their primary purposes, preserve the habitats of such species. The Act also authorized the Service to acquire land as habitat for endangered species. In 1969, Congress amended the Act to provide additional protection to species in danger of “worldwide extinction” by prohibiting their importation and subsequent sale in the United States. This Act called for an international meeting to adopt a convention to conserve endangered species. It. 1 defined “endangered” and “threatened” [ section 3 2 ]; made plants and all invertebrates eligible for protection [ section 3 3 ]; applied broad “take” prohibitions to all endangered animal species and allowed the prohibitions to apply to threatened animal species by special regulation [ section 9 ]; <P> 1 Endangered Species-species that are likely to become extinct throughout all or a large portion of their range. 2 Threatened Species-species that are likely to become endangered in the near future. 3 Critical habitat-vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species. In order to be listed as a candidate, a species has to be found to qualify for protected status under the Endangered Species Act. Whether or not a species is listed as endangered or threatened then depends on a number of factors, including the urgency and whether adequate protections exist through other means.

avg construction entrance cost
<P> Find out how much your project will cost. Provide a few details about your project and receive competitive quotes from local pros. The average national cost to build a garage is $23,573, with most homeowners spending between $14,621 and $32,525. <P> When this is done, $100 is a reasonable average additional cost for the zero-step entrance on a concrete slab, and $300-600 over a crawl space or basement. It should be remembered that visitability does not demand a front entrance if a side or back entrance is the most feasible. <P> Fees can be a fixed amount or based on the construction cost. CM fees will vary with the services that the CM provides. Typical CM fees are about 3-5% of construction costs and should be paid based on the completion of specific phases of construction. <P> For drywall, each 4-foot-by-8-foot panel costs an average of $9.80. Fiberglass insulation costs $1.80 per square foot on average. Doors can cost from $100 to $300 dollars for hardwood models. <P> That fee typically equates to about 10 to 15 percent of the entire construction cost. Therefore, if you take on a large construction project that costs a grand total of $100,000, then you should expect to pay the manager around $10,000 to $15,000 for his or her services. <P> When the cost of a zero-step entrance is averaged over the 98%+ of lots where such an entrance is practical, the $100-$600 average cost stated above is generously high. On the 41% of all single-family homes in the U.S. which are built on a concrete slab(1), the zero-step entrance typically does not add any cost. <P> Attached garages are building off of an existing structure, and can utilize that as a wall, which cuts down on the average cost to build a garage. It is also less expensive if the driveway is already in place. For a detached garage, the garage construction costs go up because it's building from scratch.
If you take on a large construction project that costs a grand total of $100,000, then you should expect to pay the manager around $10,000 to $15,000 for his or her services.

how much an average a real estate salesperson making
<P> For the uninitiated, real estate agents typically split their commissions with their real estate broker. I’ve seen splits of 50/50 to 90/10 (90% of the commission to the agent, 10% to the broker). There are offices that claim to be “100%” offices. That’s really a fallacy as trust me, brokers don’t work for free. <P> According to the BLS, real estate agents earned a median salary of $39,800 in 2013. The best-paid earned about $98,090, while the lowest-paid earned approximately $21,240. The highest earners worked in the metropolitan areas of Lake County, Illinois; New York City; and Ocean City, New Jersey. <P> According to Salary.com, most real estate agents earn on average between $34,000 and $45,000 annually. How much agents make depends on the number of transactions they complete, the commission paid to the brokerage and their split with the sponsoring broker. <P> Salary. Real estate agents work for brokers on a contract basis, which mean their earnings are a portion of the commission from every property they sell. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2012 record, the mean annual salary for real estate agents is $51,930. <P> Real estate sales agents make an average salary of about $53,140, which is in the middle of the pack for business jobs. They make less than less than sales representatives, who bring in $64,670. <P> As with an agent, a mortgage broker’s earnings depend on the number of deals she closes. But, unlike real estate agents, mortgage brokers are taxed as employees. “This is a real, pure sales business,” Appel said. On average, a mortgage broker’s commission-based earnings range from $50,000 to $150,000, <P> In other words, the 162,560 real estate agents nationwide earned a mean hourly wage of $24.97. The lowest ten percent of real estate agents earn an average $20,700, while the top ten percent make an average of $95,540 annually. For real estate agents employed within a real estate office, the average real estate agent salary is right around normal at $52,870. <P> All real estate commissions are negotiable, and are paid directly to the broker, not the agent. Agents work for the broker. Typically, it is the seller who designates how much the buyer's agents are paid. A listing commission can vary from a flat fee to a percentage of 1 % to 10% or more of the sales price.
Between $34,000 and $45,000 annually.
debit accounting definition
<P> Debit. Definition: A debit is an accounting entry that either increases an asset or expense account, or decreases a liability or equity account. It is positioned to the left in an accounting entry. The reverse of a debit is a credit. <P> Definition: A debit is an accounting entry that either increases an asset or expense account, or decreases a liability or equity account. It is positioned to the left in an accounting entry. <P> Definition: 1. An entry in an account that represents an increase in the value of assets or a decrease in the amount of liabilities. It is conventional to make debit entries on the left-hand side of a written record of an account. Compare ‘credit’. 2. A decrease in the amount a customer of a bank has deposited with the bank. <P> DEFINITION of 'Debit'. An accounting entry that results in either an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities on a company's balance sheet or in your bank account. <P> In fundamental accounting, debits are balanced by credits, which operate in the exact opposite direction. When a debit is made to one account of a financial statement, a corresponding credit must occur on an opposing account. This is the fundamental law of bookkeeping accounting.
A debit is an accounting entry that either increases an asset or expense account, or decreases a liability or equity account. It is positioned to the left in an accounting entry.

why is anthropology important
<P> Stacy Fox CAS, 2006. Anthropology is the study of human behavior. The exploration of what it means to be human ranges from the study of culture and social relations, to human biology and evolution, to languages, to music, art, and architecture, and to vestiges of human habitation. <P> Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Different people would probably answer this question differently, but I think the importance of anthropology is that it teaches us how to look outside of ourselves and realize that what we think and what we believe are not the only ways to think and believe. Anthropology is the only social science that really emphasizes the comparative approach or comparing things across different cultures. This shows us that a lot of our perceptions of the world are controlled by our experiences with the world. <P> Thanks for your comment, Dick. Anthropology is fun and exciting and important, but-as with any major-you should think about your eventual job goal. Academic jobs are few and far between, not to mention an anthro PhD takes upwards of 10 years. I definitely agree with the other anon. Anthropology due to the very nature of anthropology as a field, it bridges too many areas of science(social, bio, physical) to be placed in just a social science category. <P> Save. Anthropology is the study of the various human cultures in the world now and throughout history. According to the University of Hawaii at Hilo, anthropology emphasizes comparing human groups to understand the range of variation in human behavior and biology, and therefore considers what it is to be human.. Anthropology's existence is vital to the business world for this reason. Through the study of anthropology, a business executive in the United States, for instance, can learn about the traditions and values of the Japanese culture before he visits Japan for a business trip. <P> THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTHROPOLOGY. The term “Anthropology” comes from the Greek root “antropos” (man) and “logos” (treaty). This then forms the denomination of this marvellous science under the following terms: Treaty about man. Undoubtedly, there is nothing more exciting than the study that we make of the human species in all its manifestations. We all know that Anthropology has branched out with the purpose of being more efficient in its diverse investigations. Therefore, we mainly have biological or physical Anthropology, social or cultural Anthropology, Archeology and linguistic Anthropology. <P> 1 ...archeology, linguistics, physical, and social/cultural anthropology. ... 2 the origins and development of humans and of human society. ... 3 the meaning of human physical and cultural differences. ... 4 human culture—past, present, and future.

Cultural Anthropology is the study of the way that human beings behave in different countries and cultures. That might sound somewhat dry, but it is actually one of the more interesting subjects that you can imagine, once you enroll in a college class. 1. <P> Anthropology combines these disciplines in a holistic study of humans and the place of humans in the world around us. In this sense, anthropology is important because of its ability to synthesize the learning of other disciplines into one comprehensive picture of what it means to be human.

what can cause calf pain during running
<P> 1 Many causes of leg pain are obvious, such as injury after an accident. 2 Leg pain can have less obvious causes, such as peripheral artery disease. 3 Repetitive, excessive sports, especially in the form on running, can lead to trauma that creates leg pain-E.G: shin splints and stress fractures. 1 Repetitive, excessive sports, especially in the form on running, can lead to trauma that creates leg pain-E.G: shin splints and stress fractures. 2 Leg pain with an underlying medical cause may be nerve-related, musculoskeletal or vascular. <P> Calf Pain. Calf pain is a common occurrence in sports that include running, jumping, hopping and landing activities. Your calf muscle group essentially consists of two muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) that attach to your Achilles tendon. Calf injuries can occur to both muscle and tendon structures. <P> Causes of Calf Pain. Ineffective warm up and warm down routines can lead to calf strains. Excessive hill work and a sudden increase in mileage can cause a calf strain. Many runners carry on running even after the initial signs of a calf strain. They adjust their running stride to increase the forefoot foot slap and decrease heel strike. <P> One of the more common running injuries is a calf strain or a tear resulting in calf pain. The biggest of the calf muscles, “Gastrocenemius” to use its correct name, is the largest and most superficial of the muscles in the lower leg and is loaded repetitively and heavily during running sports. <P> Follow Tom on Twitter. Calf pain after an injury is expected but runners often complain of calf soreness with no history of trauma to the area. In these cases, like many in running, the key is identifying the cause and rectifying it. Non-traumatic calf pain usually follows a fairly predictable pattern – the pain develops when running and gradually worsens as the run continues. The calf may feel tight and even stop the runner from going any further. After running the pain subsides a little but the calf often continues to feel tight for a day or so. <P> 1 Leg pain can have less obvious causes, such as peripheral artery disease. 2 Repetitive, excessive sports, especially in the form on running, can lead to trauma that creates leg pain-E.G: shin splints and stress fractures. 3 Leg pain with an underlying medical cause may be nerve-related, musculoskeletal or vascular. 1 Repetitive, excessive sports, especially in the form on running, can lead to trauma that creates leg pain-E.G: shin splints and stress fractures. 2 <P> Pain in the calf muscle during and after running may indicate a calf muscle strain. This injury can occur as a result of a lack of flexibility in the calf muscle, an improper warm-up, or too much mileage and not enough rest between runs. Calf muscle strains typically heal with rest, ice and heat therapy. Running is a challenging sport, and the body requires adequate rest between runs to recover and adapt. Pain in the calf muscles during and after running may indicate any number of injuries, many of which are related to over-training. Calf muscle pain during and after running may signal a muscle strain, shin splints or compartment syndrome, a condition often confused with shin splints, according to PhysioRoom.com <P> Achilles tendinitis causes pain and stiffness in the area of the tendon, especially in the morning and with activity. It is usually caused by repetitive stress to the tendon. Adding too much distance to your running routine can cause it. Tight calf muscles can also contribute. Treatment includes: 1 Rest. 2 Icing the area. Running injuries usually happen when you push yourself too hard. The way your body moves also plays a role. You can prevent many of them. Here's how. 1. Runner's knee. This is a common overuse injury. Runner's knee has several different causes. It often happens when your kneecap is out of alignment. <P> Calf Strains. Pain in the calf, as well as swelling, tenderness and muscle tightness, resulting from sudden overloading of the muscles during speedwork, hill running or running on uneven trails.Treat with ice and anti-inflammatories. Wrap your calf with a 4-inch Ace bandage.

what are sinus infections
<P> A sinus infection, or sinusitis, is a common condition that affects 31 million people in the United States each year. The infection occurs when your sinuses and nasal passages become inflamed. The sinuses are small air pockets located behind your forehead, nose, cheekbones, and eyes. <P> Sinusitis (Sinus Infection). Sinusitis is an inflammation of the membranes lining the paranasal sinuses—small air-filled spaces located within the skull or bones of the head surrounding the nose. Sinusitis can be caused by an infection or other health problem, and symptoms include facial pain and nasal discharge. <P> Pain. The most common symptom of sinusitis, and often the most unpleasant, is pain. You have several different sinuses above and below your eyes, and behind your nose. Any of these can hurt when you have a sinus infection. Inflammation and swelling in the sinuses causes them to ache with a dull pressure. Medically termed sinusitis, a sinus infection occurs when the cavities around your nose become swollen and inflamed. Sinusitis is most often caused by a virus and often lasts long after the other upper respiratory symptoms are gone. Rarely, fungus or bacteria may caus <P> Sinus infection facts. 1 Sinus infections are caused by infections from a pathogenic microorganism (virus, bacterium, or fungus), which grows within a sinus and causes intermittent blockage of the sinus ostium. 1 Nasal irrigation can be accomplished with a Neti-pot or rinse kit (nasal bidet). 2 Rare fungal infections of the sinuses (for example, zygomycosis) constitute a medical emergency. 3 Complications of a sinus infection that may develop are meningitis, brain abscess, osteomyelitis, and orbital cellulitis. <P> Sinus Infection Overview. Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. A sinus infection can cause a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area, or on one side of the head. A person with a sinus infection may also have a cough, sore throat, fever, bad breath, and nasal congestion with thick nasal secretions. Sinusitis is categorized as acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long term, the most common type). Sinusitis is very common <P> Inflammation of the sinus cavity that lasts for more than three months is chronic sinusitis. Although bacteria often colonize obstructed sinuses, bacterial infections are not the only cause of chronic sinusitis. Anatomy, allergies, polyps, immune deficiencies, and dental diseases may also cause chronic sinus problems. Sinusitis is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. Normally, sinuses are filled with air, but when sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, germs (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) can grow and cause an infection. <P> When you have a sinus infection, you may need to blow your nose often because of a greenish-yellow discharge. This comes from your infected sinuses and drains into your nasal passages. The discharge may also bypass your nose and flow down your throat. Medically termed sinusitis, a sinus infection occurs when the cavities around your nose become swollen and inflamed. Sinusitis is most often caused by a virus and often lasts long after the other upper respiratory symptoms are gone. Rarely, fungus or bacteria may cause a sinus infection. <P> Sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection or rhinosinusitis, is inflammation of the sinuses resulting in symptoms. Common signs and symptoms include thick nasal mucous, a plugged nose, and pain in the face. Sinusitis (or rhinosinusitis) is defined as an inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the paranasal sinuses and is classified chronologically into several categories: 1 Acute rhinosinusitis – A new infection that may last up to four weeks and can be subdivided symptomatically into severe and non-severe. <P> Any condition that blocks off the drainage channels of your sinuses can cause a sinus infection, such as: 1 Colds. 2 Allergies such as hay fever. 3 Non-allergic rhinitis (symptoms that are like an allergy but don't have a known cause). 4 Nasal polyps (small growths in the lining of your nose). It's inflammation or swelling of your sinuses. Normally they're filled with air. When they become blocked and filled with fluid, bacteria can grow there and cause infection. The result: a sinus infection. You may hear your doctor refer to it as sinusitis.

puncture tire repair cost
<P> 1 If the tire damage is too severe or located in an area of the tire that can't safely be repaired, a single replacement tire typically costs $50-$200 for a passenger car; $60-$350 for a standard tire on a pickup or SUV; and $110-$750 for an all-terrain tire on a pickup or SUV. <P> In general, a sidewall tire repair will cost somewhere around $20 or more, depending on the location of the tear. Most tire repairs, unless you opt for a new tire-which experts recommend when the sidewall is involved-cost from $10 to $20. <P> Tire puncture repair cost is not as expensive as you may fear, but it will take some time out of your day. On average, tire puncture repair will cost you between $10 and $20. The repair will involve getting the tire patched. Some tire dealers will repair a punctured tire for free if you purchased your tire from them. It is really a nice service to have at your disposal, and it makes you want to do business with them again. <P> 1 Most repair shops include the cost of wheel balancing (placing weights on the rim so the tire rotates evenly) in the cost of flat tire repair. 2 If it's not included, this can cost $6-$20 per wheel. <P> 1 A do-it-yourself tire repair kit can cost $5-$20 for simple tools and plugs (to fill the puncture), or $20-$50 for a larger kit with a sealant and a pump or compressor to re-inflate the tire. <P> 1 Having a flat fixed by a tire or repair shop typically costs $5-$40 for a standard tire and $30-$60 to repair a run flat tire (designed to be safe to drive on even when it is flat). <P> 1 If the spare tire is flat or not available, and if a temporary fix isn't possible, towing a vehicle to a shop where the flat tire can be repaired or replaced can cost $35-$125 or more, depending on location and type of vehicle. <P> Average Tire Puncture Repair Cost. Tire puncture repair cost is not as expensive as you may fear, but it will take some time out of your day. On average, tire puncture repair will cost you between $10 and $20.

what are some cause of genetic damage
<P> Genetic mutations. Genetic mutations occur when DNA changes, altering the genetic instructions. This may result in a genetic disorder or a change in characteristics. Mutations can be caused by exposure to specific chemicals or radiation. For example, cigarette smoke is full of chemicals that attack and damage DNA. This causes mutations in lung cell genes, including the ones that control growth. In time, this can lead to lung cancer. <P> Many mutations have no effect at all. These are called silent mutations. But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others. All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene. Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder <P> However, over time, some damage will fail to be repaired and will stay in our DNA. Scientists think this damage—and a decrease in the body’s ability to fix itself—may be an important component of aging. Most DNA damage is harmless—for example, small errors in DNA code, called mutations, are harmless. Other types of DNA damage, for example, when a DNA strand breaks, can have more serious ramifications. <P> DNA Damage: Causes and Effects. The most significant consequence of oxidative stress in the body is thought to be damage to DNA. DNA may be modified in a variety of ways, which can ultimately lead to mutations and genomic instability. This could result in the development of a variety of cancers including colon, breast, and prostate. Here we discuss the various types of damage to DNA, including oxidative damage, hydrolytic damage, DNA strand breaks, and others. Oxidative DNA damage refers to the oxidation of specific bases. 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is the most common marker for oxidative DNA damage and can be measured in virtually any species. It is formed and enhanced most often by chemical carcinogens. A similar oxidative damage can occur in RNA with the formation of 8-OHG (8-hydroxyguanosine) , which has been implicated in various neurological disorders. Hydrolytic DNA damage involves deamination or the total removal of individual bases. <P> Single gene inheritance. Single gene inheritance, also called Mendelian or monogenetic inheritance. This type of inheritance is caused by changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene. There are more than 6,000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births. <P> Alternatively, some genes may be in regions of chromosomes which are more susceptible to genetic damage/change or may contain sequences which are more likely to be altered by spontaneous mutations; the achondroplasia gene is known to contain a hot spot of the latter type (a CpG sequence, discussed below). A third type of spontaneous DNA damage that occurs frequently is damage to the bases by free radicals of oxygen. These arise in cells as a result of oxidative metabolism and also are formed by physical agents such as radiation. <P> Mutations are changes in the genetic sequence, and they are a main cause of diversity among organisms. These changes occur at many different levels, and they can have widely differing consequences. <P> Many of these lesions cause structural damage to the DNA molecule and can alter or eliminate the cell's ability to transcribe the gene that the affected DNA encodes. Other lesions induce potentially harmful mutations in the cell's genome, which affect the survival of its daughter cells after it undergoes mitosis. Damage to DNA alters the spatial configuration of the helix, and such alterations can be detected by the cell. Once damage is localized, specific DNA repair molecules bind at or near the site of damage, inducing other molecules to bind and form a complex that enables the actual repair to take place. <P> The DNA repair ability of a cell is vital to the integrity of its genome and thus to the normal functionality of that organism. Many genes that were initially shown to influence life span have turned out to be involved in DNA damage repair and protection. Damage to DNA alters the spatial configuration of the helix, and such alterations can be detected by the cell. Once damage is localized, specific DNA repair molecules bind at or near the site of damage, inducing other molecules to bind and form a complex that enables the actual repair to take place. <P> Medical conditions are often related to other diseases and conditions.

how did congress feel about the lend lease act
<P> The terms and conditions ... shall be those which the President deems satisfactory. he Lend-Lease Act of 1941 (55 Stat. 31) initiated a program of military aid by which the United States provided goods and services to its allies in the fight against Germany, Italy, and later Japan during World War II. The Lend-Lease Act was passed in March 1941, before the USA became a combatant. It empowered President Franklin D. Roosevelt to transfer military equipment to other countries in the US national interest. <P> Reverse Lend-Lease policies comprised services such as rent on air bases that went to the U.S., and totaled $7.8 billion; of this, $6.8 billion came from the British and the Commonwealth. President Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease bill into law on 11 March 1941. It permitted him to sell, transfer title to, exchange, lease, lend, or otherwise dispose of, to any such government [whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States] any defense article.. <P> The Lend-Lease Act was passed by Congress on March 11, 1941. It provided that the president could ship weapons, food, or equipment to any country whose struggle against the Axis assisted U.S. defense. By retooling U.S. industrial output to the demands of war, Lend-Lease formally eliminated any semblance of neutrality. Early in World War II the United States devised a plan, dubbed Lend-Lease, to assist the nations that were then fighting the Axis powers (Germany, Japan and Italy). <P> Introduction. Proposed in late 1940 and passed in March 1941, the Lend-Lease Act was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. The Lend-Lease Act of March 11, 1941, was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. <P> On 11th March 1941, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act.

The Lend-Lease Act of March 11, 1941, was the principal means for providing U.S. military aid to foreign nations during World War II. <P> In March of 1941, Roosevelt persuaded Congress to pass the Lend-Lease Act. The act allowed the U.S. to lend the Allies war materials in return for repayment after the war. FDR, understanding Britain's desperation, began Atlantic transshipment of materials days before signing the bill. <P> Lend-Lease and Military Aid to the Allies in the Early Years of World War II. During World War II, the United States began to provide significant military supplies and other assistance to the Allies in September 1940, even though the United States did not enter the war until December 1941. The United Kingdom was not the only nation to strike such a deal with the United States. Over the course of the war, the United States contracted Lend-Lease agreements with more than 30 countries, dispensing some $50 billion in assistance. <P> Enacted by Congress in 1941 the Lend-Lease Act empowered the president to sell, transfer, lend, or lease war supplies—such as equipment, food, and weapons—to American allies during world war ii. The Lend-Lease Act was passed in March 1941, before the USA became a combatant. It empowered President Franklin D.

muscle contraction result in muscle movement
<P> Types Of Skeletal Muscle Contractions • Isotonic Contractions: Tension produced and overall shortening of the muscle as a load is moved through the range of motion of the joint. – Isotonic contractions serve to bring about movement or change in body position. Example = flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, etc. <P> (8) The calcium ions result in movement of troponin and tropomyosin on their thin filaments, and this enables the myosin molecule heads to “grab and swivel” their way along the thin filament. This is the driving force of muscle contraction. <P> Types of contractions. When we think of a muscle contracting normally, we tend to think of the muscle shortening as it generates force. While it's true that this is a way of muscle contracting, there are many different ways that a muscle can generate force, as seen in Figure 1 below. <P> Isotonic contractions are those which cause the muscle to change length as it contracts and causes movement of a body part. There are two types of Isotonic contraction: Concentric. Concentric contractions are those which cause the muscle to shorten as it contracts. <P> Conversely, isometric muscle contraction is when contraction of a muscle does. result in either movement. any change in the length of the muscle itself (e.g. due to some other force such as the weight of an object opposing the force applied by the isometric muscle contraction). <P> Isotonic Contractions. Isotonic contractions are those which cause the muscle to change length as it contracts causing movement. There are two types of isotonic contraction: -. Concentric. A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction in which the muscles shorten while generating force. <P> Isotonic Muscle Contractions. Muscle contractions which result in movement are known as isotonic contractions. There are two types of isotonic muscle contraction-Concentric and Eccentric. Concentric Contractions. Concentric muscle contractions are the most common form of contraction. <P> In addition to movement, muscle contraction also fulfills some other important functions in the body, such as posture, joint stability, and heat production. Posture, such as sitting and standing, is maintained as a result of muscle contraction.

how to remove burn marks from a pan
<P> 2. Clean any burn marks from the cookware. If your pan has heat damage (for example, from being left on a lit burner for too long), you may be able to clean it off using baking soda. Make sure the pan is completely dry, then sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the surface. If you hand dry your pans, water spots are not likely to be a problem. If they occur, swish some club soda around in each pan. Rinse them off, and then wipe them dry with a clean cloth. 1 Alternatively, you can try soaking the pan in vinegar, then clean as usual with a mild detergent and soft cloth. <P> Instructions. The best way to remove a burn from the bottom of a pot or pan is to turn off the heat as soon as you notice that the food is sticking to the bottom of the pan because it's burning. Let the pot sit for about 1/2 hour until it is almost cool or cool to the touch. Empty the contents out of the pan. Then, us a metal spoon or pancake turner to scrape the bottom. Usually, the burned on food will come off. Soak the pan in warm water and soap, and scrape again until the food is off. If the food is burned on after you wait, then the pan or pot of food is probably ruined. <P> Instructions. 1. Fill the bottom of the pan with a layer of water. 2. Add the vinegar. 3. Bring the pan to the boil. It should be looking a bit cleaner already. 4. Remove the pan from the heat and add the baking soda. Expect fizz! 5. Empty the pan and scour as normal; if necessary add an extra bit of dry baking soda. 6. If there are any super stubborn marks that don't come off with scouring, make a paste of baking soda and a couple of drops of water. <P> To start, add a few drops of dish soap to the dirty pan. Next, you'll need to add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and fill the pan ¼ of the way with water. Put the pan on high and let it simmer for a while. Once the pot has simmered for a few minutes, pour the hot liquid down the drain. <P> 1 You can also add a little water to the baking soda to achieve a paste-like consistency. 2 If you're really having trouble with burn marks, try a mildly-abrasive cleaner, such as Bar Keeper's Friend. 3 Just sprinkle a generous amount onto the bottom of your pan and add a little water to form a paste. If you hand dry your pans, water spots are not likely to be a problem. If they occur, swish some club soda around in each pan. Rinse them off, and then wipe them dry with a clean cloth. 1 Alternatively, you can try soaking the pan in vinegar, then clean as usual with a mild detergent and soft cloth. <P> Instructions. Rinse the bottom of the pan off with warm running water. Scrub on the pan with a nonabrasive sponge to remove any loose debris. Combine 3 tsp. of dish washing liquid with 2 tbsp. of baking soda. Scrub on the outside of the pan with a washcloth or nonabrasive sponge. Soak the pan in the sink with 2 cups of white vinegar, if the stain remains. Allow the pan to soak for 30 minutes to one hour. Rinse the pan with hot water. <P> 1. Put your dingy old pot or pan on a stovetop burner. Fill to the top with water. 2. Turn the burner on and bring to a boil. Let boil for 20 minutes. 3. After 20 minutes, the brown and black staining should be loosened from the pan. Test this by scraping lightly with a wooden spoon. <P> Apply the paste over the burn and allow the baking soda to sit overnight. Scrub on the pan with a nonabrasive sponge or washcloth and rinse the pan with warm water. Dry the pan with a towel to remove all excess water. Brighten the pan by rubbing a cut lemon on the outside and inside of the cookware. Combine 3 tsp. of dish washing liquid with 2 tbsp. of baking soda. Scrub on the outside of the pan with a washcloth or nonabrasive sponge. Soak the pan in the sink with 2 cups of white vinegar, if the stain remains. Allow the pan to soak for 30 minutes to one hour. Rinse the pan with hot water. <P> Continue to heat the oil until it begins to smoke. As the pan heats and the oil melts, the molecules on the surface of the stainless steel will expand and the fat from the oil will become embedded into the pan, thereby coating the pan with a non-stick surface. 4. Turn off the heat. Once the pan begins to smoke, turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool completely. If you hand dry your pans, water spots are not likely to be a problem. If they occur, swish some club soda around in each pan. Rinse them off, and then wipe them dry with a clean cloth. 1 Alternatively, you can try soaking the pan in vinegar, then clean as usual with a mild detergent and soft cloth. <P> Then, carefully place the pan onto the stovetop and turn the burner on. Allow the solution to boil for 20 minutes. Next, remove the cookware from the heat and run it under water to remove the burnt layer. Then, using baking soda, scrub the bottom of the pan. Finally, rinse under water

how much per replacement window
<P> 1 This are called new construction windows, and can cost as much as 50-100 percent more than replacement windows, or $5,000-$40,000 for completely rebuilding all the windows in a home. <P> 1 Be sure the estimate includes disposing of the old windows. 2 Replacing non-standard-sized windows requires either custom windows or enlarging the old opening to accommodate a larger standard size, which can up costs by 50-100 percent per window. <P> 1 A window installer should remove the existing windows, install the new ones, cleanup and dispose of the old windows, and wash the new windows. 2 Estimates are usually based on united inches, which is equal to the sum of the length and width of each window; a 40x55-inch window is 95 united inches. <P> Cost Factors. Replacing a window costs an average of $300 to $700 per window. This assumes that the replacement window is going into an existing and structurally sound frame on a ground floor. Replacing windows in a typical three-bedroom, single-story home with ten windows can cost from $3,000 to $7,000. <P> Our free calculator uses recent, trusted data to estimate costs for your Replacement Window Installation project. For a basic 1 window project in zip code 47474, the benchmark cost to Install Replacement Windows ranges between $340.04 - $593.63 per window. <P> There is a huge range in window replacement costs -- anywhere from $100 at home depot to over a $1000 for a Pella casement window. The average replacement window cost is $300-$700 for a single window inserted into existing frames. This would equate to $3,000 to $10,000 for a home with about ten windows. A 30- by 48-inch window can range anywehere from $150 to $500. <P> This does not include installation, which will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 per window. A good place to start to figure out how much vinyl windows cost is your local Home Depot or Lowes Home Improvement stores. For additional information on vinyl windows costs, see our window replacement cost estimator. Home Depot vinyl windows are going to average (in 2009) $200-$350, depending on the type of replacement window you choose.

what does batting a thousand mean
<P> Report Abuse. Batting 1.000 means 100% success at an endeavor. In baseball, that endeavor is advancing to first base when batting. If a batter is walked every time he comes to bat, he is still batting 1.000. Similarly, if the batter hits a home run each time he comes to bat, he still batting 1.000. It means that the person has gotten a hit in every at bat. So...as an idiom used in every day conversation, it means that a person is so successful he has never failed at something. E.g, The stock broker's recommendations so far have all skyrocketed. He is batting a 1000! <P> Somebody batting a thousand had a base hit in each of his or her at bats. Baseball statistics that call themselves percentages are generally out of 1,000, not 100. Batting average is the number of hits per thousand at bats. So somebody batting three hundred has 300 hits per 1,000 at bats, and somebody batting 1,000 has 1,000 hits per thousand at bats. Since 1941 no Major League Baseball player has ever hit over 400 in a full season <P> A slang term in business meaning that no mistakes have been made. For example, a salesman is batting a thousand if the recipients of all of his cold calls for the day agree to purchase his products. The term is derived from the baseball statistic in which 1.000 indicates a perfect batting average. <P> Those are called batting One Hundred, Two Hundred, on up. If you bat perfectly, where you get a hit for every at bat (1.000) you're batting A Thousand. The Hits and At Bats are added to one another from game to game to come up with a season average. So Three Fifty is getting a Hit 35 times out of every 100 At Bats. <P> be batting a thousand. to do something extremely well and better than you had hoped to do it Gloria felt she was batting a thousand. She'd got everything she asked for when she saw her boss. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: It is a reference to a batting average in baseball. It means that the person has gotten a hit in every at bat. So...as an idiom used in every day conversation, it means that a person is so successful he has never failed at something. E.g, The stock broker's recommendations so far have all skyrocketed. He is batting a 1000! <P> batting 100. Batting 100 is when you are NOT doing perfectly, and so you are Batting 100 as in baseball, where you would be batting 1000. Life isn't baseball, get over it, its just a metaphor. Man, I can't get anyone to bring me sushi.. I'm batting 100 today! <P> In baseball, batting a thousand would mean getting a base hit in every at bat. It means the multiple of 1,000 which is closest to a specific number. An example. Round 3,244 to the nearest thousand. The two multiples of 1,000 either side of this number ar … e 3,000 & 4,000. <P> When you bat 1000, that means that you get a base hit every single time you bat, not including walks. That means that you never make an out when you bat. That is obviously impossible. The best batters bat right around the .333 mark, meaning 1 hit for every 3 at bats. Everyone has a different opinion on what is a good BA, but I'd say if a player hits .285 - .300, thats good. Anything over .300 is great. The calculation is just hits divided by at bats. So a .285 average would mean that in 1000 at bats, he got 285 hits. <P> Best Answer: 1000 would mean the player gets a hit at every at bat. Usually if a guy gets one hit per 3 at bats (1/3 = .333 batting average), thats REALLY good. Everyone has a different opinion on what is a good BA, but I'd say if a player hits .285 - .300, thats good. Anything over .300 is great. The calculation is just hits divided by at bats. So a .285 average would mean that in 1000 at bats, he got 285 hits.

why did the first battle of ypres take place
<P> The Second Battle of Ypres was the first poison gas attack of the war. It was made by the Germans, and chlorine gas was used. This battle also inspired John McCrae's poem 'In … Flanders Field'. In addition, Canadian troops were proved capable in their success in holding the line regardless of the gas. ------ Nick Grimmer This depends on which battle of Ypres you are referring to. There were 3, The first (October 19th-November 22nd, 1914) halted the German advance, and led the Allies to hold 3.5 km of the line; it also marked the superiority of defence over offence. <P> Ypres. The Ypres area of Belgium, where Passchendaele is located, was the scene of several First World War battles. It was the last portion of Belgium that was not in enemy hands after the initial German advance of 1914 and, as a result, held great symbolic meaning to the Allies. <P> Almost every building would be razed to the ground by November 1918. The first major battles to take place in the area of Ypres took place from October 1914. However, during the fierce fighting in the autumn of 1914 the German Army was unable to capture Ypres. <P> The Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was a campaign of the First World War, fought by the Allies against the German Empire. The battle took place on the Western Front, from July to November 1917, for control of the ridges south and east of the Belgian city of Ypres in West Flanders, as part of a strategy decided by the Allies at conferences in November 1916 and May 1917. <P> The town of Ypres was always under attack from the Germans because it was a key point in keeping them from the English Channel.

basic structure of dna
<P> Report Abuse. DNA and RNA are polymers made of monomeric subunits, called nucleotides, which can be linked together in any order. The nucleotide is the basic, repeated unit of DNA or RNA strand and contains a nitrogenous base-a double-ring purine or a single-ring pyrimidine, linked to phosphorylated sugar. The sugar with an attached base, but without a phosphate group is called a nucleoside. In DNA molecule, the sugar is 2′-deoxyribose and in RNA molecule-ribose. The sugars comprise the backbone of every DNA or RNA chain, linked by covalent phosphodiester bond between 5′- and 3′-carbons of two adjacent sugars. <P> Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose) bound on one side to a phosphate group and bound on the other side to a nitrogenous base. There are two classes of nitrogen bases called purines (double-ringed structures) and pyrimidines (single-ringed structures). The four bases in DNA's alphabet are: The base pairs in DNA are adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine. DNA has a spiral staircase-like structure. The steps are formed by the nitrogen bases of the nucleotides where adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine with guanine. Photo courtesy U.S. National Library of Medicine. <P> DNA structure. DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic cod <P> DNA Structure. ­DNA is o­ne of the nucleic acids, information-containing molecules in the cell (ribonucleic acid, or RNA, is the other nucleic acid). DNA is found in the nucleus of every human cell. (See the sidebar at the bottom of the page for more about RNA and different types of cells). The base pairs in DNA are adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine. DNA has a spiral staircase-like structure. The steps are formed by the nitrogen bases of the nucleotides where adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine with guanine. Photo courtesy U.S. National Library of Medicine. <P> What is the basic structure of all the nucleotides that make up DNA? Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base, such as, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine. Adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds, while cytosine and guanine form three. DNA strands have a 5' end and a 3' end. The 5' end is characterized by a phosphate group coming off of the fifth carbon in the sugar. <P> Best Answer: DNA is a double helix structure which means two strands of nucleic acid molecules intertwining each other. RNA is a single strand of nucleic acid molecules. In DNA molecule, the sugar is 2′-deoxyribose and in RNA molecule-ribose. The sugars comprise the backbone of every DNA or RNA chain, linked by covalent phosphodiester bond between 5′- and 3′-carbons of two adjacent sugars. <P> DNA-STRUCTURE This page, looking at the structure of DNA, is the first in a sequence of pages leading on to how DNA replicates (makes copies of) itself, and then to how information stored in DNA is used to make protein molecules.

Depending on what you mean by structure, DNA helices also bend and twin … e with each other in the formation of chromosomes. Adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds, while cytosine and guanine form three. DNA strands have a 5' end and a 3' end. The 5' end is characterized by a phosphate group coming off of the fifth carbon in the sugar. <P> Nucleic acid structure refers to the structure of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. Chemically speaking, DNA and RNA are very similar. Nucleic acid structure is often divided into four different levels: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary.
It is made up of molecules called nucleotide. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group,a sugar group and a nitrogen base.The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine(A),thymine(T),guanine(G) and cytosine(C).

The salary is is more than $250k/year. Fellowships exist … that allow gynecologists to sub-specialize in topics such as Reproductive Medicine or Fertility Medicine. it takes approximatly 14 years to become a professional scientist depending on how long your taking the college classes. the most it has taken normal class taking students is … 15 years. to become a basic scientist it only takes 6 years and 2 months Answer: People are generally done high school by 18. <P> Gynecologists are medical doctors with advanced training in their specialty. Gynecologists, medical doctors specializing in the reproductive health of women, must complete at least 12 years of school and training after high school. To practice gynecology, you need to complete a medical degree. Preparation for this degree begins before medical school, however. Undergraduate premedical studies are important to your future success. While you can major in any field, there are some science prerequisites that all medical schools require. <P> Let’s look at how many years of college education it will take to practice in this career path. You will need an undergraduate degree, which takes 4 years, before you attend medical school, which takes another 4 years, before others can call you doctor. In the past, internship usually was the terminal phase of medical school. Recently, however, most programs place internship in the first year of residency. To become an OB-GYN, a medical degree graduate must devote another set of 4 years for the residency training program. Courses will focus on gynecology, obstetrics, and gynecological surgery <P> Salary. During residency training, an OB/GYN’s annual salary may range from $45,000 to $60,000. Salary will increase with each year of training. After residency is completed, the starting salary is generally between $200,000 and $250,000 per year. As of 2012, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the median salary for physicians in obstetrics/gynecology was $301,737. Many OB/GYNs practice both obstetrics and gynecology, often with the same patients. Others choose to pursue one of the two fields specifically; technically, obstetrics and gynecology are two separate specialties that we commonly combine since many doctors practice them both. <P> After high school, the total number of years is 12 years of continuous education and training. The period to prepare, review, and complete the requirements for SAT, MCAT, USMLE, licensing and certification was not yet included in the total. For pursuing a sub-specialty area, add 3 to 4 years of training. In the past, internship usually was the terminal phase of medical school.

what temperature do you need to germinate peas
<P> Growing Information. How to plant: Propagate by seed Germination temperature: 40 F to 85 F-Optimum around 75 F. Days to emergence: 9 to 13 - 9 days when soil is 60 F. 13 days at 50 F. May take as long as 4 to 5 weeks at 40 F. Seed can be saved 3 years. <P> 1 Peas prefer soil that is fertile, well drained and high in organic matter. 2 Peas usually take 50-to-70 days from germination to harvest. 3 Plant 2-to-3 oz. ( 4 56-to-85 g) of seed for each 100 feet (30 m) of row. Depending on the type--from sugar snap peas to dry peas to green garden peas-they provide high amounts of fiber, iron, protein, Vitamin C, lysine, tryptophan and carbohydrates. Peas are a cool-season crop, so indoor planting and germination should take place several weeks before the last frost in your area. <P> Sow seeds for your particular variety as instructed on the seed packet, usually about 1 ½ inches deep. Bush varieties tend to need a little more space between plants. In general you’ll sow or thin to about 3-4 inches between plants. Seeds will need 7-10 days to germinate. If growing indeterminate varieties, you’ll want to plant them next to a trellis in order to keep the vines off the ground. Do not plant where other legumes have grown the past 3 years. Black-eyed peas grow well with cucumbers and strawberries but avoid planting with any type of onions or garlic. <P> Sugar or snow peas are grown for their flat, green pods. Peas are a cool-season crop that must mature before the weather gets warm. The ideal growing temperature for peas is 55°F to 70°F. Sow peas in the garden 6 weeks before the average last frost date in spring or as soon as the soil can be worked. How to plant and spacing. Planting time. Peas are a cool-season crop that must mature before the weather gets warm. The ideal growing temperature for peas is 55°F to 70°F. Sow peas in the garden 6 weeks before the average last frost date in spring or as soon as the soil can be worked. <P> Mr. B. Thompson surveys the various methods of germinating this ever-popular plant. The criterion for the germinating of a sweet pea is similar to any other dormant seed, it needs moisture and warmth to stir it into life, it then goes on to form a seedling followed by a fully grown plant which will eventually flower. The pots are unlikely to get too dry kept at a cool temperature but should be kept moist as opposed to wet. These late sown seeds will need careful hardening off before planting in April/May. Mr. Thompson is one of the leading growers of sweet peas. <P> When growing vegetables why do they need warmth? The air and soil temperature is most important for seed germination. Some seeds do best in cool soil (lettuce, peas, radishes) others need warm soil (tomatoes, squash, corn) to grow. All plants need some warmth to grow, some more than others. We do have some control over this basic need as we can supply plants with extra heat using heating pads, cold frames, plastic or cloth covers <P> The effect of soil temperature on sown seeds. The chart below displays the relationship between soil temperature, days to emergence, and the percentage of sown seeds to germinate: As you might expect, the percentage of any seeds to germinate is maximum at the optimal temperature for that species. If your home is on the low side of 68 to 72ºF, your seeds will benefit from bottom heat. As a general rule, seeds will germinate indoors where the soil temperature is held constant. In nature, the soil temperature is usually lower at night. <P> That is the fundamental relationship between germination and temperature. For every species of seed, there is an optimal soil temperature for germination, and at that temperature, the maximum number of seeds will germinate and in less time than at any other temperature. If your home is on the low side of 68 to 72ºF, your seeds will benefit from bottom heat. As a general rule, seeds will germinate indoors where the soil temperature is held constant. In nature, the soil temperature is usually lower at night. <P> 1 Apply mulch to peas grown in high-temperature areas to cool the soil and reduce water loss. 2 Peas prefer soil that is fertile, well drained and high in organic matter. 3 Peas usually take 50-to-70 days from germination to harvest. 4 Plant 2-to-3 oz. ( 5 56-to-85 g) of seed for each 100 feet (30 m) of row.

types of diseases on tangerine tree
<P> The fruit may be scabbed, streaked or a silvery color. Citrus thrips are tiny orange or pale yellow insects that attack citrus as well as many other types of fruit trees. They mainly attack young leaves and juvenile fruit and feed on the tree s sap. Sooty Mold. Sooty mold is a fungus, which causes the blackening of the leaves of citrus trees. The mold forms on the leaves as a result of honeydew secretions from insects such as whiteflies, aphids and mealybugs. Insect control is the most effective way to prevent the incidence of this disease. <P> Brown Soft Scale. Brown soft scale is a common problem on citrus trees, as well as many other types of trees. Soft scale insects are small, non-mobile insects that attached themselves to the wood, foliage and sometimes the fruit. Scale is most common on the new tender woody growth. Sooty Mold.

Insect control is the most effective way to prevent the incidence of this disease. <P> Tangerine trees can contract several diseases, which display symptoms on the leaves or the fruit and are easily distinguished from one another. Most tangerine diseases can be controlled once identified. Alternaria Brown Spot. Alternaria brown spot affects Dancy and Murcott tangerines, among other varieties of tangerine and citrus. The disease causes brown spots and yellow discoloring of tangerine leaves; leaves can eventually fall off the tree. Branches and twigs may die back at the tips, and fruit can develop brown blemishes on its skin <P> Most Satsuma diseases are caused by cool, wet weather. The Satsuma orange (Citrus unshiu), sweet and typically seedless, is a variety of Mandarin orange that is susceptible to most diseases that strike other citrus trees. The fungal and bacterial diseases that strike Satsumas are usually caused by prolonged fog or rain <P> Submit. Vitamin C is an invaluable part of the human diet; without it, our immune systems would be drastically compromised. That's not the only reason for planting your own citrus trees and growing your own fruit, though. Citrus, like other types of fruits and vegetables, always tastes better fresh from the backyard. Citrus Tristeza Virus. Citrus Tristeza Virus, or CTV, is a viral disease that has, in the past, been responsible for killing millions of orange trees in South America and Africa. The disease has been on record since the late 1800s, and it is only relatively recently that scientists have discovered just what causes it. <P> Brown soft scale is a common problem on citrus trees, as well as many other types of trees.

what is the function of the uterus lining
<P> The endometrium is the layer of the uterus that thickens in preparation for the implantation of the fertilized embryo. The endometrium is also the layer that is shed during menstruation. Estrogen is responsible for creating a thick, lush and blood rich endometrium. <P> The uterus has several important functions in the body including multiple reproductive functions such as implantation, gestation, labor, delivery and menses. When an egg is releases from an ovary, it travels along the fallopian tube which is where a sperm cell will fertilize it (if it becomes fertilized). <P> The primary function of the uterus is to serve as the site of implantation for a fertilized egg and to support the embryo/foetus throughout its development during pregnancy. The uterus is also the site of menstruation. the woman produces and births the baby. obviously... The primary function of a uterus is to receive and nourish a growing embryo. The uterus is the structure in a female mammal in which unborn entities are carried during pregnancy. <P> This lining is known as the endometrium and it provides nourishment for the embryo during the very early days of life. Otherwise, the lining of the uterus is shed each month, resulting in a flow of blood lasting for several days. This is known as the menstrual flow, menstruation or the monthly period. The cervix (or neck of the uterus) is the link between the uterus and the vagina (or birth canal) and is found at the top of the vagina. It is a firm, smooth, rounded structure with a central opening which: 1 dilates (opens up) during labour. 2 allows menstrual blood to flow through it during your periods. <P> The endometrium is the innermost glandular layer and functions as a lining for the uterus, preventing adhesions between the opposed walls of the myometrium, thereby maintaining the patency of the uterine cavity. 1 Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium). 2 Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. 3 Endometrial hyperplasia. 4 Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the human female genital tract. <P> In a woman of reproductive age, two layers of endometrium can be distinguished. These two layers occur only in endometrium lining the cavity of the uterus, not in the lining of the uterine (Fallopian) tubes: 1 The functional layer is adjacent to the uterine cavity. 2 This layer is built up after the end of menstruation during the first part of the previous menstrual cycle. 1 Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium). 2 Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. 3 Endometrial hyperplasia. 4 Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the human female genital tract. <P> Click to read more below. The uterus, also commonly known as the womb, is a hollow muscular organ of the female reproductive system that is responsible for the development of the embryo and fetus during pregnancy. 1 Inside the myometrium is the endometrium layer that borders the hollow lumen of the uterus. 2 The endometrium is made of simple columnar epithelial tissue with many associated exocrine glands and a highly vascular connective tissue that provides support to the developing <P> Uterine lining: The inner layer of the uterus (womb); the cells that line the womb; anatomically termed the endometrium. This tissue is normally shed monthly in response to the hormonal changes of the menstrual period. <P> The uterus is composed of two distinct anatomical areas: myometrium and the endometrium which lines the cavity. The endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus that contains the lining which is responsible for accepting and nourishing a fetus during the pregnancy process. The lining of this cavity changes with every monthly cycle in response to the primary female hormones produced by the ovaries: estrogen and progesterone. <P> The endometrium consists of a single layer of columnar epithelium plus the stroma on which it rests. The stroma is a layer of connective tissue that varies in thickness according to hormonal influences. 1 Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium). 2 Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. 3 Endometrial hyperplasia. 4 Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the human female genital tract.
