what is the effect of working longer hours on nurses?
|
<P> 14 The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety it was found that 67% of critical care nurses’ work shiftsexceeded 12 hours and that working 16-hour shifts wascommon. Nurses working more than 12.5 hours had twicethe risk of making a medical error (OR = 1.94, p = .03). <P> The underlining mechanism of the relationship of nurse overtime to nurse injuries and adverse patient events is that when nurses work overtime or long hours, it contributes to nurses' fatigue and sleep so their alertness and vigilance are impaired in both their regular shift and overtime shift. Thus, staff nurses who work overtime may work more than 12 hours within a 24-hour period and return to work quickly without sufficient rest and sleep. <P> For 30 shifts, nurses were scheduled to work 16 or more consecutive hours, and for 85 shifts, they actually worked 16 hours or more. The longest scheduled work shift was 17 hours (n = 3), and the longest actual work shift was 23 hours and 30 minutes. Despite concerns expressed by nurses about the ability to provide high-quality care when working overtime and/or extended shifts for many years, 18 – 20 the relationship between staff nurses’ work hours and patients’ safety has been examined in only a few empirical studies. <P> Eventually nursing shifts, like those of many other industries, were shortened to eight hours. The pendulum swung once more, however, and today 12-hour shifts are the norm again in nursing. Although there are many benefits to 12-hour shifts, there are also some disadvantages, both for patients and nurses. Twelve-hour night shifts can make it difficult for a nurse to get adequate sleep. Back in the days when women never went without a hat or gloves, a 10- to 12-hour shift for nurses was the norm, according to the Travel Nurses Now website. <P> Research from Oklahoma University School of Nursing says nurses who work 12.5 hours or longer are three times more likely to make an error in patient care, but found no difference in fatigue between eight and 12-hour shifts. However, 12-hour shifts have been gaining popularity among nurses and hospitals for quite some time now. The 12-hour nursing shift dates back to the 1970s when it was used as a way to retain staff during the national nursing crisis. It allowed nurses more time at home and allowed hospitals to use fewer agency nurses. <P> In 2004, the Institute of Medicine recommended that state regulators prohibit nurses from working more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period, and over 60 hours in a seven-day period. These recommendations apply to any combination of scheduled shifts and mandatory or voluntary overtime. Yet while scheduling less shifts with longer hours might seem appealing, in the long run the study found that nurses two worked shifts of 10 hours or more were more likely to experience burnout, job dissatisfaction and leave nursing compared to nurses who worked shorter shifts. <P> Background. In order to provide the best care possible to patients, the physical and mental well-being of the nurse is essential. Evidence has shown that working long or extensive hours, or beyond a scheduled shift can lead to negative patient and nurse outcomes. ANA believes that the elimination of overtime for the nation’s nurses is crucial in order to improve the quality of patient care and the health of the nurse. The elimination of mandatory overtime is important to improve nurse working conditions and for the delivery of safe and effective patient care. <P> Abstract. The use of extended work shifts and overtime has escalated as hospitals cope with a shortage of registered nurses (RNs). Little is known, however, about the prevalence of these extended work periods and their effects on patient safety. Logbooks completed by 393 hospital staff nurses revealed that participants usually worked longer than scheduled and that approximately 40 percent of the 5,317 work shifts they logged exceeded twelve hours. <P> One of the biggest concerns over the length of a nurse’s shift is fatigue, and its effect on safety and patient care. A study from the University of Maryland School of Nursing looked at nurses who worked three consecutive 12-hour shifts and found a pattern of sleep deprivation and slower reaction time. However, 12-hour shifts have been gaining popularity among nurses and hospitals for quite some time now. The 12-hour nursing shift dates back to the 1970s when it was used as a way to retain staff during the national nursing crisis. It allowed nurses more time at home and allowed hospitals to use fewer agency nurses. <P> Approximately 40 percent of the shifts were longer than 12 hours. A tired nurse is more likely to make a mistake -- the researchers found the risk of errors was significantly increased if the nurses worked overtime, worked more than 40 hours a week or worked longer than 12 hours at a stretch. Over half of the mistakes were medication errors. Twelve-hour night shifts can make it difficult for a nurse to get adequate sleep. Back in the days when women never went without a hat or gloves, a 10- to 12-hour shift for nurses was the norm, according to the Travel Nurses Now website.

characteristics of carbohydrates
|
<P> Carbohydrates are organic molecules (contains carbon) that play an important part in organisms and cellular processes. They often contain significant amounts of chemical potential energy. Their most prominent role is in energy storage. Common polymers of carbohydrates include cellulose (plant cell wall), chitin (fungus cell wall), and petidoglycan (bacterial cell wall). A carbohydrate generally has one carbon and oxygen atom for every two hydrogen atoms. <P> Simple Sugars. Simple sugars are another characteristic of carbohydrates. Also called monosaccharides, simple sugars include fructose, glucose and galactose. Fructose is often found in fruit, whereas galactose is found in milk. Both are converted to glucose by the liver. Glucose is the body's energy source. Carbohydrates typically comprise a large amount of a person's diet. Carbohydrates are found in a variety of foods, including fruits, bread, potatoes and pasta. Carbohydrates are commonly known for boosting a person's energy, which is why athletes consume high amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods before they compete. <P> Fructose is a carbohydrate, and is a simple sugar found in fruits. It is often called just fruit sugar. Fructose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Corn syrup is primarily glucose. <P> Glucose is the most common simple carbohydrate. Photo Credit: Image credit: Steven Berg. Carbohydrates are one of the four major classes of organic compounds in living cells. They are produced during photosynthesis and are the main sources of energy for plants and animals. The term carbohydrate is used when referring to a saccharide or sugar and its derivatives. Carbohydrates can be simple sugars or monosaccharides, double sugars or disaccharides, composed of a few sugars or oligosaccharides, or composed of many sugars or polysaccharides. <P> Glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate, and is the most important simple sugar in human metabolism. Glucose is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide because it is one of the smallest units which has the characteristics of this class of carbohydrates. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Corn syrup is primarily glucose. <P> Chemical Structure. A carbohydrate is a simple sugar. Its basic structure is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, with generally twice the hydrogen as carbon and oxygen. In its simplest form, a carbohydrate is a chain of sugar molecules called monosaccharides. You’ll also add a lot of simple carbs to your diet if you eat processed foods and soft drinks. Complex carbs are found in whole-grain foods like breads and cereals. You’ll also find them in starchy vegetables and legumes, like beans. Fiber is an important type of carbohydrate found in plant foods. <P> All carbs are constructed of chains of sugar molecules, which your body converts to glucose for immediate energy, glycogen for stored cell energy, or fat for eventual energy. The sugars found in vegetables, grains, beans and peas are called starches, and those that your body can’t digest are called fiber. The term sugars refers to those found in fruits, milk and milk products, and all sugars added to processed foods -- which creates confusion.

the federal reserve was created by what legislation
|
<P> The Federal Reserve Board, consisting of seven members, was created as the governing body of the Fed. Each member is appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In 1935, the Board was renamed and restructured. The Federal Reserve Act created a system of private and public entities; there were to be at least eight, and no more than 12, private regional Federal Reserve banks. <P> The Federal Reserve Act was a part of the banking and currency reform plan advocated by President Wilson in 1913. The chairmen of the House and Senate Banking and Currency committees sponsored this legislation; representative Carter Glass, a Democrat of Virginia and Senator Robert Latham Owen, a Democrat of Oklahoma. The Federal Reserve Act created a system of private and public entities; there were to be at least eight, and no more than 12, private regional Federal Reserve banks. <P> President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law on December 23, 1913. Prior to the creation of the Fed, the U.S. economy was plagued by frequent episodes of panic, bank failures, and credit scarcity. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, other pieces of legislation have shaped the structure and operation of the nation’s central bank. Following the Great Depression, Congress passed the Banking Act of 1935, which established the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) as the Fed’s monetary policymaking body. <P> As far as the terms of the Federal Reserve governors, they agreed on staggered terms and extended them from the six or eight years in the approved bills to ten to ensure no president could appoint all governors during a two-term presidency. The Federal Reserve Act was signed by President Wilson on December 23, 1913. BibliographyGlass, Carter. An Adventure in Constructive Finance. New York: Doubleday, Page and Co., 1927. <P> It was created by the Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The Federal Reserve was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. Today, the Federal Reserve's responsibilities fall into four general areas. <P> established in december 1913. it is the act that created the federal reserve system, the central banking system of the united states, which was signed into law by woodrow wilson. it regulated banking to help smaller banks stay in business. <P> President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913. The Act established the Federal Reserve System to oversee the nation’s money supply and provide an “elastic” currency that could expand and contract in response to the economy’s changing demand for money and credit. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, other pieces of legislation have shaped the structure and operation of the nation’s central bank. Following the Great Depression, Congress passed the Banking Act of 1935, which established the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) as the Fed’s monetary policymaking body. <P> 3) is an Act of Congress that created and established the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States, and granted it the legal authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (now commonly known as the U.S. Dollar) and Federal Reserve Bank Notes as legal tender. The Federal Reserve Act created a system of private and public entities; there were to be at least eight, and no more than 12, private regional Federal Reserve banks. <P> It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, largely in response to a series of financial panics, particularly a severe panic in 1907. Over time, the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System have expanded, and its structure has evolved. The seven-member Board of Governors is a federal agency. It is charged with the overseeing of the 12 District Reserve Banks and setting national monetary policy. It also supervises and regulates the U.S. banking system in general. <P> DEFINITION of '1913 Federal Reserve Act'. The 1913 U.S. legislation that created the current Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Act intended to establish a form of economic stability through the introduction of the Central Bank, which would be in charge of monetary policy, into the United States.

what is a hyenas appearance
|
<P> Males in most hyena species are larger than females, though the spotted hyena is exceptional, as it is the female of the species that outweighs and dominates the male. Also, unlike other hyenas, the female spotted hyena's external genitalia closely resembles that of the male. Hyenas are primarily nocturnal animals, but sometimes venture from their lairs in the early-morning hours. With the exception of the highly social spotted hyena, hyenas are generally not gregarious animals, though they may live in family groups and congregate at kills. <P> Latin name: Hyaena hyaena. Appearance: A large, powerful animal, the striped hyena is covered in pale tan to greyish fur, which is usually quite shaggy. <P> Striped Hyena. Aardwolf. Dog-like in appearance, the spotted hyena is easily identified by its spotted coat, short mane and unique gait. They are classified in their own family, Hyaenidae, along with three other species, including the brown hyena, striped hyena and Aardwolf. <P> Hyena. There are four species of Hyena: spotted, brown, striped, and the aardwolf. All hyenas are usually nocturnal. The spotted hyena is the most well known. Spotted hyena live in Africa in savannas, grasslands, woodlands, forest edges, subdeserts and mountains. <P> Spotted Hyaena: physical description. This large, dog-like animal has a spotted coat and is strongly built. Its general colour is sandy, ginger or dull grey to greyish brown, with blackish or dark brown spots on the back, flanks, rump, and legs. Spots may turn brown and fade with age. <P> 12 Yrs (wild) Up to 25 Yrs (in Captivity). Main Characteristics Spotted Hyenas are the largest species of hyena, with females being up to 10% larger than males. They have a body length of 1.3 m (4.25 ft), a tail length of 25 cms (10 inches) and they weigh between 62 and 70 kgs (135 - 155 lbs). <P> The hyena is a carnivorous dog-like species of animal, native to parts of both Africa and Asia. There are four known species of hyena, the spotted hyena, the striped hyena, the brown hyena and the aardwolf. All four hyena species have a bear-like stance as the front legs of a hyena are longer than the back legs of a hyena. The striped hyena, the brown hyena and the aardwolf all have a striped mane on the top of the hyenas neck that stands up when the hyena is frightened. <P> Hyena Facts. Although they resemble both dogs and cats, the three species of hyenas and the aardwolf are in their own separate and very unique family called Hyaenidae. The most well-known is called the spotted hyena, also known as the laughing hyena due to the unusual and eerie sounds it makes. Fact is, hyenas are hyenas, or more scientifically, members of the small 4 species family called Hyeanidae. In the carnivore family tree are two main groups, feliformia, or cat-like carnivores, and caniformila, or dog-like carnivores. <P> It may look like a dog, but the spotted hyena is more closely related to cats, civets, and genets. Also called the laughing hyena, the spotted hyena is a strong, capable hunter. It is the largest member of the hyena family (other members are the striped hyena, brown hyena, and aardwolf). Female spotted hyenas are a bit larger than the males, but otherwise they look exactly the same. The spotted hyena may look unusual, at first sight. It has a large head with a long, thick, muscular neck and powerful jaws that give the hyena the strongest bite of any mammal.

who made the han dynasty compass
|
<P> Making the world better, one answer at a time. The compass was first invented in the Han dynasty, but further improvements were made in the Song dynasty. According to historical records, compass is believed to be used at the time of Qin Dynasty(221-206 … B.C). The earliest compasses were made of lodestones. This mineral is made of iron oxide which orients itself to a north and south axis.In 1117 Zhu Yu's book Pingzhou Table Talks came out. <P> Accompanying the invention of the compass were other inventions, such as the development of new types of locks along the canals. The Chinese previously had invented the sternpost rudder, actually in the Han Dynasty, but the sternpost rudder was very, very important for controlling a vessel. Printing, paper money, porcelain, tea, restaurants, gunpowder, the compass—the number of things that Chinese of the Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1280) gave to the world is mind-boggling. This vibrant period in Chinese history was marked by economic prosperity and remarkable technological innovation. <P> Han Dynasty Compass. This is a modern replica of the oldest instrument in the world which is known to be a compass. The spoon or ladle is of magnetic lodestone, and is supposed to be a symbolic representation of the Great Bear. The handle of the ladle points towards the South, and these compasses are sometimes called 'South Pointers'. The base plate is made of bronze <P> These numbers allow the compass to show azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation. The magnetic compass was first invented as a device for divination as early as the Chinese Han Dynasty (since about 206 BC), and later adopted for navigation by the Song Dynasty Chinese during the 11th century. The use of a compass is recorded in Western Europe and in Persia around the early 13th century. Usually, a diagram called a compass rose, shows the directions north, south, east, and west as abbreviated initials marked on the compass. When the compass is used, the rose can be aligned with the corresponding geographic directions, so, for example, the N mark on the rose really points to the north. <P> (The Magnetic Compass invented in the 1st century by people in the Han Dynasty). The Magnetic Compass was created early in the 1st century CE when a man in China noticed that lodestone acted like a magnet and could be used to show direction. Back then the compass looked completely different than it does today. Another great invention in the Han Dynasty time period is paper. Paper was created in the 2nd century BCE. Before paper scholars were writing on rolls of silk which was not a bad source for writing. <P> Used in Ancient China as early as the Qin dynasty (221 BCE – 207 BCE) or before, Chinese compasses were invented for more than just helping people find their way when traveling. Compasses were originally developed for aligning buildings with directions (north, south, east or west), and as a tool used in fortune telling. One of the first recordings of using a compass for navigation was during the Northern Song dynasty (960 CE – 1126 CE). These compasses were made by floating a magnetized needle in water. <P> Original Chinese Compass Design. The Ancient Chinese compass was made from iron oxide, a mineral ore. Iron oxide is also known as lodestone and magneta. The most popular style of the first Chinese compass used a lodestone (which automatically points to the south) and a bronze plate. One of the first recordings of using a compass for navigation was during the Northern Song dynasty (960 CE – 1126 CE). These compasses were made by floating a magnetized needle in water. <P> Han Dynasty. 15 facts about the Han dynasty. Han's Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) was a turning point in the history of China as it reunited China and brought many reforms in the administration and Chinese culture and civilization which were reigning supreme in the lives of people under Qin Shihuangdi's rule. Peasant rebellion of 206 BC overthrew Qin leading to a struggle for power between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. In the battle, Liu Bang won crowning as the ruler and founder of Han dynasty in China. <P> The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD. The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese. Usually, a diagram called a compass rose, shows the directions north, south, east, and west as abbreviated initials marked on the compass. When the compass is used, the rose can be aligned with the corresponding geographic directions, so, for example, the N mark on the rose really points to the north.

what is an acth stimulation test
|
<P> ACTH is made in the pituitary gland in response to the release of another hormone, called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), by the hypothalamus. In turn, the adrenal glands then make a hormone called cortisol, which helps your body manage stress. 1 A problem with the adrenal glands or pituitary gland. 2 A high level of ACTH and a low level of cortisol (or low ACTH and high cortisol levels) could be caused by a problem with the adrenal glands. 3 Low levels of ACTH and cortisol could be caused by a problem with the pituitary gland. 4 Overproduction of ACTH. <P> The ACTH stimulation test is occasionally used to test adrenal production of aldosterone at the same time as cortisol to also help in determining if primary (hyperreninemic) or secondary (hyporeninemic) hypoaldosteronism is present. This test measures how much ACTH the pituitary gland is producing. A healthy ACTH value should be just into the upper third of the range (assuming a range of 10–60 ng/L). The ACTH plasma and ACTH stimulation test together can give a clearer picture, especially for secondary adrenal insufficiency. <P> ACTH (cosyntropin) stimulation test measures how well the adrenal glands respond to the hormone ACTH. ACTH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. <P> These samples will measure the level of cortisol in your blood. This ACTH stimulation test measures how your adrenal glands react to the ACTH in your blood by measuring your body’s cortisol levels. It’s important not to confuse this test with an ACTH test, which simply measures the ACTH levels in your blood. When there is a stressful situation, this hormone along with another hormone, norepinephrine, is responsible for the protective fight-or-flight response. If a doctor suspects that your adrenal glands might not be functioning properly, he or she may perform an ACTH (cosyntropin) stimulation test. <P> ACTH Stimulation Test. Your pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain, produces many types of hormones, including the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys, to release two hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, also known as epinephrine. When there is a stressful situation, this hormone along with another hormone, norepinephrine, is responsible for the protective fight-or-flight response. If a doctor suspects that your adrenal glands might not be functioning properly, he or she may perform an ACTH (cosyntropin) stimulation test. <P> An adrenocorticotropic hormone test measures the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the blood to check for problems with the pituitary gland and adrenal glands. 1 A problem with the adrenal glands or pituitary gland. 2 A high level of ACTH and a low level of cortisol (or low ACTH and high cortisol levels) could be caused by a problem with the adrenal glands. 3 Low levels of ACTH and cortisol could be caused by a problem with the pituitary gland. 4 Overproduction of ACTH. <P> These conditions include: 1 Cushing disease: excess cortisol that is due to an ACTH-producing tumor in the pituitary gland (usually a benign tumor). 2 Cushing syndrome: refers to the symptoms and signs associated with excess cortisol. <P> The ACTH stimulation test is recognized as the gold standard assay of adrenal insufficiency, although this test is primarily used to determine the presence of Addison's disease and pituitary impairment. This test measures how much ACTH the pituitary gland is producing. A healthy ACTH value should be just into the upper third of the range (assuming a range of 10–60 ng/L). The ACTH plasma and ACTH stimulation test together can give a clearer picture, especially for secondary adrenal insufficiency. <P> The ACTH stimulation test is conducted by comparing baseline blood work against blood work taken 1 to 2 hours after an injection of the ACTH hormone. ACTH is the hormone that is naturally produced in the pituitary gland and triggers the release of cortisol from the adrenals into the dog’s system. If the test results show an extremely elevated level of cortisol in the bloodstream, it is likely the dog has Cushing’s disease. The ACTH stimulation test allows your veterinarian to determine whether or not your dog’s body is producing excessive amounts of cortisol and creating a toxic situation that can affect a variety of his body’s systems. <P> This is a blood test that measures the amount of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) the pituitary gland produces. This gland is a tiny organ that sits just below your brain. It secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone, which controls the production of another hormone called cortisol. The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm. You may have blood drawn in the morning and in the afternoon or evening. This is to check for variations in your levels of ACTH hormone.

what do segmented worms used for movement
|
<P> The basic approach is to come up with a basic body compartment, like cars on a train, and build up a body by adding more. It is a quick and simple way to add size, and segmented worms, also known as annelids, are the prototypes. - The leeches are less segmented than the other types, although the basic body plan of the adult almost always starts with 34 segments between front and back (this is common in other segmented groups, where a set number of segments arises in embryos as the base architecture). <P> There are about 15,000 species in this phylum. The phylum includes earthworms, leeches, and marine worms known as polychaetes. Species in this phylum have metameric bodies. Metameric bodies are divided into segments called annuli. The annuli are covered in tiny hairs called setae. Setae help the worms move <P> Segmented worms also inhabit freshwater aquatic habitats as well as moist terrestrial habitats such as forest floors. Segmented worms are bilaterally symmetrical. Their body consists of a head region, a tail region and a middle region of numerous repeated segments. Segmented worms are classified within the following taxonomic hierarchy: Animals Invertebrates. Segmented worms are divided into the following taxonomic groups: 1 Polychates-The polychaetes include about 12,000 species that are characterized by having multiple hairs on each segment. 2 Clitellates-The clitellates include about 10,000 species that have no nuchal organs or parapoidia <P> Segmented worms (Annelida) are a group of invertebrates that includes about 12,000 species of earthworms, ragworms and leeches. Segmented worms live in marine habitats such as the intertidal zone and near hydrothermal vents. Segmented worms are classified within the following taxonomic hierarchy: Animals Invertebrates. Segmented worms are divided into the following taxonomic groups: 1 Polychates-The polychaetes include about 12,000 species that are characterized by having multiple hairs on each segment. 2 Clitellates-The clitellates include about 10,000 species that have no nuchal organs or parapoidia <P> By Phil Myers. The annelids include earthworms, polychaete worms, and leeches. All members of the group are to some extent segmented, in other words, made up of segments that are formed by subdivisions that partially transect the body cavity. Segmentation is also called metamerism. <P> The head and the rear of the body is not segmented. The digestive system of species in this phylum runs the length of the body. Food is taken in at one end of the body and expelled at the other end. Annelids have two sets of muscles that help them move. The phylum includes earthworms, leeches, and marine worms known as polychaetes. Species in this phylum have metameric bodies. <P> Segmented worms are the largest worms and are things like earthworms or leeches. They are the most complex worms and have developed digestive systems and a group of nerves that works like a brain. The main difference is that segmented worms are more complex organisms. Confidence votes 17. Worms use their muscles and setae, short bristly hairs, to move. The setae help them control their speed, and latch on to the ground. They have two kinds of muscles: circular and longitudinal. <P> Annelida. The animals in the Annelida are segmented worms. They have no legs, and no hard skeleton. Unlike mollusks, annelid bodies are divided into many little segments, like rings joined together. There are many other kinds of worms, but only annelids are segmented this way. There are three main groups of annelids, the earthworms (and their relatives), the leeches, and a big group that lives in the ocean and are called polychaetes (pol-ee-keets).

cost based pricing for a coffee shop
|
<P> Startup Costs. The type of location and whether a coffee shop is independent or financed are both major determinants of startup costs. A coffee cart can cost $20,000 to $25,000 to start up while a kiosk may cost $25,000 to $75,000. As an example, if milk costs $3 per gallon, or 2.34 cents per ounce, and a drink contains 9 ounces of milk, the milk cost will be 21.1 cents. If the drink contains one double shot of espresso and a $7.50 pound of beans makes 32 double shots, the coffee cost is 23.4 cents. 1.25 ounces of syrup that comes in a $4.50 25.4 ounce bottle costs 22.1 cents. This gives a total food cost of 66.6 cents <P> While there is certainly a difference in the cost of the materials, overhead, and labor at these establishments, the price of a cup of coffee is influenced as much by the conversation you share with your barista, the environment of the shop, and the people you expect to meet there. The price of a cup of coffee is influenced by a lot of factors. And one of the factors that influences it least is the material cost of the beans. Even expensive coffee beans tend to be “cheap” (with a few notable exceptions). The factor that influences it most is perhaps the different markets it’s sold in. <P> Sit-down locations typically cost between $200,000 and $375,000 to set up, according to the Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup. Based on information from Entrepreneur, a franchised sit-down shop can cost up to $673,700 to launch. As an example, if milk costs $3 per gallon, or 2.34 cents per ounce, and a drink contains 9 ounces of milk, the milk cost will be 21.1 cents. If the drink contains one double shot of espresso and a $7.50 pound of beans makes 32 double shots, the coffee cost is 23.4 cents. 1.25 ounces of syrup that comes in a $4.50 25.4 ounce bottle costs 22.1 cents. This gives a total food cost of 66.6 cents <P> Location. The location of your coffee shop is one of the first aspects you should consider when you plan to open one. As a rule, the total cost of the rental should be approximately 15% of your total sales, but it is important to refer mainly to the first few weeks after you opened the coffee shop. The price range you will find is extremely varied, ranging between $1500 and $2000 in some cases. Based on the location you will choose, this price might be lower or higher – for instance, if you open a coffee shop in the center of the city, you will pay higher values than if you open the coffee shop elsewhere in your area. <P> You have the demand but you wonder if your java-related income is all it could be. Any business from cafe to family restaurant can look at that cup of coffee and determine a price based on one of several strategies. However, if you have a new line of breakfast sandwiches, for example, you may include a cup of coffee at a low price to encourage purchase of the higher-margin sandwich. A car repair shop may offer coffee at low or no cost to encourage customers to choose them over a competitor. <P> Loss Leader Pricing. Charging less than cost on a cup of coffee is a recipe for disaster if coffee is your main product. However, if you have a new line of breakfast sandwiches, for example, you may include a cup of coffee at a low price to encourage purchase of the higher-margin sandwich. A car repair shop may offer coffee at low or no cost to encourage customers to choose them over a competitor. <P> However, if your budget does not allow you to make such a high investment, you can opt either for lower quality or second-hand machines, which will sum up to $7.000 – about a half of that price. Utilities. Your coffee shop needs, of course, running water, lightening, electricity and other similar utilities. Based on the location you will choose, this price might be lower or higher – for instance, if you open a coffee shop in the center of the city, you will pay higher values than if you open the coffee shop elsewhere in your area. <P> cafe Coffee Shop Start Up Cost Estimate 2 of 5 Copyright © 2011 by MindfulDesignConsulting Start-up Summary A Cafe’café s-start up expenses total is99,231, 99231 or102,821 102821 including first month labor.

how does a phase failure relay work
|
<P> Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contacts in another circuit. As relay diagrams show, when a relay contact is normally open (NO), there is an open contact when the relay is not energized. Because solid state relays do not have to either energize a coil or open contacts, less voltage is required to turn Solid State Relays on or off. Similarly, Solid State Relays turn on and turn off faster because there are no physical parts to move. <P> A phase failure relay monitors the incoming three phase service lines. If the lines become reversed or loss of one phase causing single phasing, the relay's internal contacts change status. In control panels the control voltage usually is connected through the phase failure relay's auxiliary contacts. If any line anomalies occur the control voltage is cut off and the panel becomes inoperable. The reason for using a relay, is so that you can power a load that requires a lot of current, without having to run heavy cable all the way to the switch and back. Also, for safety, so you don't have to throw the switch on a potentially lethal amount of current. <P> Phase Failure Relays Type MPS and MPD Class 8430 – Wiring Diagrams 5 6/2004 © 1998–2004 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved 8430 MPS and MPD relays will reset automatically when the phase abnormality is corrected. Voltage sensing devices can only detect abnormal conditions on the line side of where the relay is connected.However, a voltage sensing relay has an important advantage in that it can detect an abnormal condition independent of the motor’s running status. <P> How relays work. Here are two simple animations illustrating how relays use one circuit to switch on a second circuit. When power flows through the first circuit (1), it activates the electromagnet (brown), generating a magnetic field (blue) that attracts a contact (red) and activates the second circuit (2). Other relays are normally closed (NC; the contacts are connected so a current flows through them by default) and switch off only when the magnet is activated, pulling or pushing the contacts apart. Normally open relays are the most common. Here's another animation showing how a relay links two circuits together. <P> 1 Phase Failure (loss) - The relay monitors for voltage with the incorrect phase sequence, or one or more phases open. 2 Failure may occur because of a blown fuse, a mechanical failure of the switching equipment, or if one of the power lines opens. 3 Phase failure involves three phases where there are three wires. Protective relays and monitoring relays detect or monitor for abnormal power system conditions. Protective relays detect defective lines, defective apparatuses, or other power system conditions of an abnormal or dangerous nature. <P> 3 Phase Monitoring Relays or Protective Relays, protect motors and equipment from expensive damage due to voltage faults on three-phase systems. Refer to the table below for more information on the level of protection offered by each product, then click one of the Series to see details about a specific product type. <P> A relay takes a high current circuit and uses low current to turn the high current on and off. Its basically a high current switch. There are coils that are designed to handle the high currents constantly. A switch could do the job of turning circuits on and off but has a drastic higher failure rate. The reason for using a relay, is so that you can power a load that requires a lot of current, without having to run heavy cable all the way to the switch and back. Also, for safety, so you don't have to throw the switch on a potentially lethal amount of current. <P> Monitoring relay functions include fault detection, voltage checking, and direction-sensing that confirms power system conditions, but does not directly sense the fault or problem. Both protective relays and monitoring relays may be sensitive to voltages, power or phase, current, or frequency. How Does a Relay Work. Protective relays and monitoring relays detect or monitor for abnormal power system conditions. Protective relays detect defective lines, defective apparatuses, or other power system conditions of an abnormal or dangerous nature. <P> Phase monitor relays provide protection against premature equipment failure caused by voltage faults on 3-Phase sys-tems. All Prosense phase monitor relays are designed to be compatible with typical Wye or Delta systems. Phase monitor relays protect against single phasing regardless of any regen-erative voltages. In Wye systems, a connection to a neutral is not re-quired.The relay is energized and the LEDon when the sequence is correct. Any fault will de-energize the relay and turn off the LED. Re-energization is automatic upon correction of the fault condition.

what is meander in geography
|
<P> Can be used during a module on rivers. Students should make an annotated diagram of a meander bend. They should label a river cliff, a slip off slope, the fastest flow and the slowest flow. They should then be able to explain how helicoidal flow assists in the development of a meander bend. Finally, they should note down the theory of riffles. <P> A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander forms when moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley, and the inner part of the river has less energy and deposits silt. A stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternately eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside. The result is a snaking pattern as the stream meanders back and forth across its down-valley axis. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake forms. Over time meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering problems for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges <P> Meandering rivers erode sediment from the outer curve of each meander bend and deposit it on an inner curve further down stream. This causes individual meanders to grow larger and larger over time. Meandering river channels are asymmetrical. The deepest part of the channel is on the outside of each bend. The water flows faster in these deeper sections and erodes material from the river bank. <P> 1 The formation of meanders is due to both deposition and erosion and meanders gradually migrate downstream. 2 The force of the water erodes and undercuts the river bank on the outside of the bend where water flow has most energy due to decreased friction. In the middle course the river has more energy and a high volume of water. The gradient here is gentle and lateral (sideways) erosion has widened the river channel. The river channel has also deepened. <P> Meanders. Meanders occur in the middle valley and are the result of erosion AND deposition processes on a river. In this section of the valley the river erodes laterally and migrates across the valley floor over time, widening the valley. Flood plains, Levees and Yazoo streams. Rivers flood on a regular basis. The area over which they flood is known as the floodplain and this often coincides with regions where meanders form. When rivers flood in the middle valley the cover an area of land known as the flood plain. When they flood velocity is slowed and deposition of any rocks being transported is encouraged <P> A meander is a winding curve or bend in a river. Meanders are the result of both erosional and depositional processes. They are typical of the middle and lower course of a river. This is because vertical erosion is replaced by a sideways form of erosion called LATERAL erosion, plus deposition within the floodplain. The image below shows a series of meanders. Meanders are perpetuated through a process called helicoidal flow. As the surface flow of water hits the outer bank it corkscrews, flows along the river bed then deposits eroded material on the inner bank. <P> 1. often meanders A bend, turn, or winding, as of a stream or path. 2. A portion, side trip, or episode in a longer journey. 3. A passage on a subtopic or digression in a longer piece of discourse. 4. An ornamental pattern of winding or intertwining lines, used in art and architecture. 1. meander-a bend or curve, as in a stream or river. oxbow-a U-shaped curve in a stream. stream, watercourse-a natural body of running water flowing on or under the earth. <P> Meanders. A meander on the River Cuckmere. In the middle course the river has more energy and a high volume of water. The gradient here is gentle and lateral (sideways) erosion has widened the river channel. The river channel has also deepened.

what are diseases caused by global warming
|
<P> Climate warming is allowing disease-causing bacteria, viruses and fungi to move into new areas where they may harm species as diverse as lions and snails, butterflies and humans, a study suggests. Malaria and yellow fever may become more common as milder winters permit the seasonal survival of more mosquitoes, which carry these diseases. A warmer climate also could enable them to move into areas where the cold once kept them out. <P> ©WILLIAM KARESH. Bird flu, cholera, Ebola, plague and tuberculosis are just a few of the diseases likely to spread and get worse as a result of climate change, according to a report released yesterday by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Ebola: This virus is lethal to humans and other primates, and has no cure. In addition, it is unclear where the disease, which causes fever, vomiting and internal or external bleeding, comes from—though scientists suspect fruit bats. <P> Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke and Climate Change. Cardiovascular disease refers to a class of diseases that pertain to the heart of blood vessels, and is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the third leading cause. <P> The effect of global warming depends on the complex interaction between the human host population and the causative infectious agent. From the human standpoint, changes in the environment may trigger human migration, causing disease patterns to shift. Crop failures and famine may reduce host resistance to infections. Importantly, significant economic and political stresses may damage the existing public health infrastructure, leaving mankind poorly prepared for unexpected epidemics. Global warming will certainly affect the abundance and distribution of disease vectors. <P> There is a strong link between the warming climate and diseases of corals.. Germs that attack oysters also are thriving in the warming waters. Ostfeld said oyster beds as far north as Maine are now being affected by pathogens once barred by a colder sea. Malaria and yellow fever may become more common as milder winters permit the seasonal survival of more mosquitoes, which carry these diseases. A warmer climate also could enable them to move into areas where the cold once kept them out. <P> Climate changes already are thought to have contributed to an epidemic of avian malaria that wiped out thousands of birds in Hawaii, the spread of an insect-borne pathogen that causes distemper in African lions, and the bleaching of coral reefs attacked by diseases that thrive in warming seas. Malaria and yellow fever may become more common as milder winters permit the seasonal survival of more mosquitoes, which carry these diseases. A warmer climate also could enable them to move into areas where the cold once kept them out. <P> Lyme disease: This bacterium-caused disease will spread as climate changes extend the ranges of the ticks that carry it. Plague: Changes in temperature and rainfall will affect rodent populations globally as well as the infected fleas they carry. Ebola: This virus is lethal to humans and other primates, and has no cure. In addition, it is unclear where the disease, which causes fever, vomiting and internal or external bleeding, comes from—though scientists suspect fruit bats. <P> So this contributes to global warming, b … ut does not cause it. Global warming is caused by deforestation, and by our burning of fossil fuels in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. No-they actually counter the effects of global warming by soaking up carbon dioxide, however when these same plants (Particularly trees) are cut down and burnt the soaked up … carbons dioxides are released into the atmosphere, this is the indirect relation that plants have on global warming. <P> This burning releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, which is causing an enhanced greenhouse effect. Global Warming is also caused by deforestation, cutting down forests which used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. No-they actually counter the effects of global warming by soaking up carbon dioxide, however when these same plants (Particularly trees) are cut down and burnt the soaked up … carbons dioxides are released into the atmosphere, this is the indirect relation that plants have on global warming. <P> Malaria, dengue, plague, and viruses causing encephalitic syndromes are among the many vector-borne diseases likely to be affected. Some models suggest that vector-borne diseases will become more common as the earth warms, although caution is needed in interpreting these predictions. Clearly, global warming will cause changes in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Importantly, significant economic and political stresses may damage the existing public health infrastructure, leaving mankind poorly prepared for unexpected epidemics. Global warming will certainly affect the abundance and distribution of disease vectors.

what were cabbage patch kids originally called
|
<P> Cabbage Patch Kids is a line of copyrighted soft sculpture dolls created by 21-year-old American art student Xavier Roberts in 1978. They were originally called Little People and were adopted rather than sold. Each came with its own adoption paper and birth certificate. <P> The first dolls were born at Babyland General, a hospital (clinic) that was re-fashioned to produce the toy dolls. Babyland General is still located to this day in Cleveland, Georgia. Cabbage Patch Kids weren't even originally called Cabbage Patch Kids-they were first called Little People. They were all cloth dolls and sold at craft shows-an inauspicious start for what would become a certified craze. <P> The Cabbage Patch Kids were originally called Little People and were completely handmade, unlike the Cabbage Patch Kids we know today, … which are mass produced with vinyl heads. Although Xavier Roberts, the creator of this iconic brand, may have dabbled in soft sculpture in 1975, these are his own private creations. <P> Originally manufactured from 1982 through 1989 by Coleco, they were made with round vinyl (originally hard plastic) heads and cloth bodies. After Coleco filed for bankruptcy, the Cabbage Patch Kids were manufactured by Hasbro, Mattel, Toys R Us, and currently Play Along. <P> Cabbage Patch Dolls, commonly known as Cabbage Patch Kids, have been around since 1978. They were originally called Little People, and the dolls’ CEO and creator, Xavier Roberts, sold them in trade shows and eventually sold the dolls to Babyland General Hospital in Georgia. <P> 3. Xavier Roberts, the creator of Cabbage Patch kids originally called them Little People. The Little people are somewhat different from the toys sold in the stores. <P> Xavier Roberts designed his Little People dolls in 1978. They were renamed the Cabbage Patch Kids in 1982 and sold by Coleco. They were the hottest toys of Christmas 1983. Cabbage Patch Kids are now made by Mattel. Each doll comes with a birth certificate and has its own first and middle names.

what does myrrh oil do
|
<P> Myrrh Oil is steam distilled directly from myrrh resin. Myrrh Essential Oil smells more pleasant than the resin, but I still find the aroma of the oil to be a bit harsh on its own. The aroma of Frankincense Oil helps to round out and freshen the aroma Myrrh Essential Oil. The aroma is woody, earthy and a bit balsmic. <P> The benefits of Myrrh include the spiritual and emotional as well. Myrrh is very spiritual oil and has been used in religious ceremonies and rituals for over 5000 years ! Myrrh releases fears, difficult experiences as it relates to us or the world. It asks us to be more accepting, trusting and non-judgmental of ourselves. And many varieties of the resin which essential oil is made from. The myrrha species from Somalia has wonderful transformational properties and it is the one that I am most familiar with. Much of the myrrh like frankincense, Melaleuca and Eucalyptus species is being adulterated (changed) or synthetically made. <P> Commiphora mukul, a related species, is not a source of myrrh. Myrrh is used to make medicine. Myrrh is used for indigestion, ulcers, colds, cough, asthma, lung congestion, arthritis pain, cancer, leprosy, spasms, and syphilis. It is also used as a stimulant and to increase menstrual flow. Myrrh seems safe for most people when used in small amounts. It can cause some side effects such as skin rash if applied directly to the skin, and diarrhea if taken by mouth. Large doses may be UNSAFE. Amounts greater than 2-4 grams can cause kidney irritation and heart rate changes. <P> Myrrh is a common resin in the Horn of Africa. An essential oil extracted from myrrh (Commiphora myrrha). Myrrh /ˈmɜr/ from the Hebrew 'מור' (mor) and Arabic مر (mur) is the aromatic resin of a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora, which is an essential oil termed an oleoresin. Myrrh resin is a natural gum. The oleo gum resins of a number of other Commiphora species are also used as perfumes, medicines (such as aromatic wound dressings), and incense ingredients. These myrrh-like resins are known as opopanax, balsam, bdellium, guggul and bisabol. <P> Astringent: Myrrh Essential Oil is an astringent, meaning that it strengthens the hold of gums on teeth, contracts the skin, muscles, intestines and other internal organs. It also strengthens the grip of scalp on hair roots, thereby preventing hair loss. Antifungal: Myrrh essential oil acts as a fungicide as well. It can be used either internally and externally to fight fungal infection. Stimulant: Myrrh essential oil stimulates thoughts, blood circulation, digestion, secretions, nervous activity and excretion. <P> 1 In a blended massage oil or diluted in the bath, myrrh oil is great for bronchitis, catarrh, colds, coughs and infections, as well as the variety of female problems listed above. 2 It also has a wonderful effect on the skin. Myrrh oil is of great benefit to the respiratory tract, the digestive system, for gum and mouth disorders, in skin care, as well as urino-genital and gynecological problems. 1 Burners and vaporizers. 2 In vapor therapy, myrrh oil can be useful with bronchitis, catarrh, colds and coughs. <P> The health benefits of Myrrh Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antimicrobial, astringent, expectorant, antifungal, stimulant, carminative, stomachic, anticatarrhal, diaphoretic, vulnerary, antiseptic, immune booster, circulatory, tonic, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. Antifungal: Myrrh essential oil acts as a fungicide as well. It can be used either internally and externally to fight fungal infection. Stimulant: Myrrh essential oil stimulates thoughts, blood circulation, digestion, secretions, nervous activity and excretion. <P> Myrrh oil is also a valuable aromatherapy oil that can be used for massages, mixed in bathwater, or simply applied on the skin. You can also: 1 Use it as a mouthwash to help eliminate dental infections. 2 Put it in a cold compress to relieve sores and wounds. Uses of Myrrh Oil. Both myrrh resin and myrrh oil have a long history of medicinal use, valued for their wound-healing properties. Egyptians used myrrh to treat hay fever and heal herpes. Myrrh oil has also been used as incense and a holy oil in religious rituals and ceremonies for over 5,000 years. Maintaining healthy skin is one of myrrh oil's renowned uses, as it prevents the signs of aging and soothes cracked or chapped skin. This is why it's commonly added to many skin care products today <P> The essential oil of myrrh is extracted from the resin. Myrrh, in the scientific nomenclature system, is called Commiphora Myrrha and is native to Egypt. While the resin was frequently used in incense and perfumes in ancient Egypt, and the oil obtained from it was used for healings wounds in ancient Greece. Antifungal: Myrrh essential oil acts as a fungicide as well. It can be used either internally and externally to fight fungal infection.

where is a multiflora rose found
|
<P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Rosa multiflora, commonly known by its synonym Rosa polyantha and as multiflora rose, baby rose, Japanese rose, many-flowered rose, seven-sisters rose, Eijitsu rose, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia, in China, Japan and Korea. It should not be confused with Rosa rugosa, which is also known as Japanese rose, or with polyantha roses which are garden cultivars derived from hybrids of R. multiflora. It is a scrambling shrub climbing over other plants to a height of 3–5 m, with stout stems with recurved prickles (sometimes absent). <P> Introduction. Multiflora rose, also known as rambler rose and baby rose, is native to eastern China, Japan and Korea. It was introduced to the U.S. from Japan in 1866, as rootstock for grafted ornamental rose cultivars. <P> Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora, C.P. Thunberg), is a noxious, non-native shrub found throughout Pennsylvania. Multiflora rose is now considered a invasive weed because of its aggressive growth habit. This rose forms impenetrable thickets that exclude native plant species. Multiflora rose is a thorny perennial shrub with arching stems or canes. This shrub grows six to ten feet tall and can occasionally reach fifteen feet in height. The leaves are pinnately compound. Typically, they have seven leaflets per leaf, but can have between five and eleven leaflets. <P> Multiflora rose can be found throughout the United States except for the Rocky Mountain region, the extreme desert southwest, and most of the state of Florida. It grows rapidly in fields, pastures, roadsides, and sun-lit edges and spaces of a forest. Appearance, Pollination, Fruits and Seeds. Multiflora rose is a perennial plant that grows in long (up to 15 feet), arching, thorny stems that are called “canes.” It has compound leaves that usually are divided into 7 to 9 serratedly edged leaflets. The leaves arise alternately on the long canes. <P> Common Name: Multiflora Rose. (Information for this species page was gathered in part by Ms. Lisa Galbraith as part of an assignment in Biology 220W, Spring 2005). Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is an introduced plant species that is native to Japan, Korea, and Eastern China. It was first brought to the United States in the 1860’s for use as root stock for ornamental roses. Appearance, Pollination, Fruits and Seeds.

It is a scrambling shrub climbing over other plants to a height of 3–5 m, with stout stems with recurved prickles (sometimes absent). <P> Invasive Plants in Pennsylvania Multiflora Rose Rosa multiflora Description: Multiflora rose is a dense, thorny shrub, reaching up to 15 feet in height, with arching canes (stems) that are capable of rambling up trees. Its leaves are pinnately compound, divided into seven to nine leaflets, and finely serrate. Habitat: This invasive shrub has a wide tolerance for various soil, moisture and light conditions. It can be found in dense woods, along stream banks and roadsides, and in open fields and prairies. Background: Multiflora rose was introduced into the United States as ornamental rootstock from Japan in 1866. <P> Multiflora rose is a serious problem in areas of Iowa withextensive pastures and other untilled areas. It is nativeto Japan and was introduced to the United States in1866 as a rootstock for ornamental roses. Beginning inthe 1930s, multiflora rose was widely planted for otherpurposes in many regions of the country. The plant hasbeen promoted as a wildlife cover, fencerow beautifier,and as an aid to soil conservation.

what is TTL functionality
|
<P> Exposure for flash key is normally a straight line affair (unless bouncing the flash). The TTL metering calculates the exposure based on what the light does bouncing off the subject. The light from the flash fires and shuts off, requiring the photographer only to remember to turn on the unit. So TTL has taken all the calculations out of basic flash exposure. This is true for those who only want basic flash photographs. But I assume you bought this book because you want to take your flash photography beyond the basics by using flash as a creative tool. <P> Transistor–transistor logic (TTL) is a class of digital circuits built from bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and resistors. It is called transistor–transistor logic because both the logic gating function (e.g., AND) and the amplifying function are performed by transistors (contrast with RTL and DTL). <P> TTL means through the lens. Flash metering is through the lens, using the camera's metering system, which looks through the lens you're using. Non-TTL means the flash doesn't communicate with the camera in that way, and instead uses its own light metering system, built into the flash. TTL is better! Ilkka wrote: It is a bit simplistic to just say that 'TTL is better', because all studio flashes are not TTL and are often quite obviously better sources of light than a small flash unit made by the camera manufacturer.. TTL is a flash metering technology for cameras-not camera lighting. <P> An obvious but none the less important switch is the Flash Mode Selector. There are four modes of flash operation with the SB-24/25: A, M, Lightning Bolt and TTL. The A makes use of the built-in flash sensor (not to be confused with TTL) for exposure. So TTL has taken all the calculations out of basic flash exposure. This is true for those who only want basic flash photographs. But I assume you bought this book because you want to take your flash photography beyond the basics by using flash as a creative tool. <P> The original concept of TTL is sometimes referred to as standard TTL.. Many modern flash units also have the ability to use a setting known as advanced TTL.. In advanced TTL metering, the flash unit fires one or more pre-flashes of either infrared or white light before exposing the film. The advantage of using a through-the-lens flash metering system is that the photographer is not required to perform the calculation of flash output, which eliminates a margin of error. <P> Shares & Saves. Save. Through-the-lens metering, also known as TTL, is a method of measuring light for photographic exposure purposes. In TTL metering, the light is measured using an in-camera light meter, eliminating the need to use a separate, hand-held light meter. The advantage of using a through-the-lens flash metering system is that the photographer is not required to perform the calculation of flash output, which eliminates a margin of error. <P> A non TTL automatic flash you tell your flash what aperture and ISO you will be using then the flash will compute a flash output based on how much light is available. An adjustable manual flash, you set your flash output manually based on what aperture and iso settings you are using. Ilkka wrote: It is a bit simplistic to just say that 'TTL is better', because all studio flashes are not TTL and are often quite obviously better sources of light than a small flash unit made by the camera manufacturer.. TTL is a flash metering technology for cameras-not camera lighting. <P> Nikon first introduced TTL (Through The Lens) flash technology in 1980. The basics of TTL operation is rather simple and applies to all camera systems. With TTL flash exposure, when the shutter is tripped, the light from the flash fires off, racing to hit the subject. So TTL has taken all the calculations out of basic flash exposure. This is true for those who only want basic flash photographs. But I assume you bought this book because you want to take your flash photography beyond the basics by using flash as a creative tool. <P> We suggested that the external flash be set to the TTL mode. The TTL (i.e. , T hrough T he L ens) mode means that the camera will measure the output of external flash and stop the flash once illumination is sufficient. This is the easiest mode of using external flashes. However, do keep in mind that the Coolpix 990 is not true TTL cameras in terms of flash control. It measures flash illumination with a flash sensor next to the on-camera lens as shown below. As a result, what this sensor sees is usually not what the lens sees

<P> Once in the circulation, GLP-1 has a half-life of less than 2 minutes, due to rapid degradation by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4. It is a potent antihyperglycemic hormone, inducing glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion while suppressing glucagon secretion. The known peripheral functions of GLP-1 include: 1 increases insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner. 2 increases insulin-sensitivity in both alpha cells and beta cells. 3 increases beta cells mass and insulin expression, PTM, and <P> Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists increase insulin levels when needed, reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver and reduce the rate of digestion. As a result, people may have less appetite and lose weight. A Intermountain Healthcare answered. A GLP-1 agonist is a type of medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is taken by injection (shot) using a prefilled dosing pen. A GLP-1 agonist works with other diabetes medications -- pills, not insulin -- to help control your blood glucose. GLP-1 agonists include exenatide (Byetta) and liraglutide (Victoza) <P> Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) embodies a set of principles that provides a framework within which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived. GLP applies to non-clinical studies conducted for the assessment of the safety or efficacy of chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) to man, animals and the environment. <P> Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a neuropeptide and an incretin derived from the transcription product of the proglucagon gene. The known peripheral functions of GLP-1 include: 1 increases insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner. 2 increases insulin-sensitivity in both alpha cells and beta cells. 3 increases beta cells mass and insulin expression, PTM, and secretion. <P> The major source of GLP-1 in the periphery is the intestinal L cell that secretes GLP-1 as a gut hormone; the major source in the brain is the nucleus of the solitary tract, which is the source of a widely distributed set of GLP-1 projection neurons. The known peripheral functions of GLP-1 include: 1 increases insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner. 2 increases insulin-sensitivity in both alpha cells and beta cells. 3 increases beta cells mass and insulin expression, PTM, and secretion. <P> Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a hormone produced in the gut and released in response to food. It causes reduced appetite and the release of insulin. Alternative names for glucagon-like peptide 1 GLP-1; incretin; glucagon-like peptide. What is glucagon-like peptide 1? Glucagon-like peptide 1 belongs to a family of hormones called the incretins, so-called because they enhance the secretion of insulin. <P> Abstract. The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a new class of injected drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. They mimic the action of GLP-1 and increase the incretin effect in patients with type 2 diabetes, stimulating the release of insulin. <P> GLP-1 Agonist. GLP-1 Diabetes Drug Treatment: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists) are incretin mimetics which have several benefits for diabetes management. They suppress post-prandial glucagon release, delay stomach emptying, and increase insulin sensitivity. <P> GLP-1 agonist, like Byetta and Bydureon can help treat Type 2 Diabetes. GLP-1 agonists are a group of medications that mimic the actions of glucagon-like peptide or GLP-1. GLP-1 is one of several naturally occurring incretin compounds that affect the body after they are released from the gut during digestion. Because of its name, GLP-1 might seem to act like glucagon that increases glucose production by the liver and raises glucose levels.

what is torrent client
|
<P> Client. A BitTorrent client is a piece of software that accepts a torrent file and begins downloading the data associated with it. The same way that you use a web browser like Firefox or Chrome to browse the web, you need a BitTorrent client for your computer to make sense of a BitTorrent file. <P> To send or receive files the user must have a BitTorrent client; a computer program that implements the BitTorrent protocol. Some popular BitTorrent clients include μTorrent, Xunlei, Transmission, qBittorrent, Vuze, Deluge, and BitComet. BitTorrent clients are available for a variety of computing platforms and operating systems including an official client released by Bittorrent, Inc.

why do old aspirin tablets smell like vinegar
|
<P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Aspirin is the generic/brand term for the chemical acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). It's available in various forms, but usually the vinegar-like smell is most noticeable in tablets of higher concentrations. ASA is produced by taking salicylic acid acetylating it with acetic anhydride. This chemical process yields the aspirin itself along with a byproduct of acetic acid. The key component of vinegar is acetic acid. :) You mentioned the vinegar smell when aspirin goes bad, or in very old aspirin. <P> Why Aspirin Smells Like Vinegar. When aspirin starts to decompose, its molecules will separate into salicylic acid and acetic acid. Having acetic acid as the product of decomposition of aspirin gives it a similar odor as that of vinegar (which has diluted amounts of acetic acid as its component). How to Store Aspirin. 1. Aspirin is one of the medications that are used to reduce pain, inflammation and temperature. It has been used for several decades and still remains to be a choice even after the introduction of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). <P> If your old bottle of aspirin is starting to smell like vinegar it may be time to throw it away! Check the expiration date. Acetic acid is the main taste and odor component of Vinegar and when Aspirin expires/ages it reacts with the moisture in the air and decomposes to salicylic acid and acetic acid. <P> Aspirin is a common term for the salicylate drug called acetylsalicylic acid, which has numerous medical uses. Some people use it as an anti-inflammatory agent, while others use it as antipyretic to lower high body temperature that is commonly associated with fever. Furthermore, it can also be used to relieve individuals from minor pains and aches because it serves as a good analgesic. <P> The smell of vinegar from an old bottle of aspirin is an indication that the active ingredient in aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, has decomposed. A normal, healthy and clean vagina will smell like vinegar because of vaginal discharge. Normal vaginal discharge is cloudy-white in color and smells a little like vinegar … because it is acidic. This helps to keep the vagina clean and free from yeast infections. <P> Why Does Old Aspirin Smell Like Vinegar. Aspirin is a medication that is given to relieve pain and also inflammation. There are many who suffer from fever too that can be relieved with the use of aspirin. This makes people to wonder why does old aspirin smell like vinegar. The main reason for the smell is that the composition of the drug is such that once the drug has been stored for some time, the drug starts to degenerate causing the smell. <P> The fact is that vinegar which is usually made from fermented fruit juice also contains acetic acid which is the main reason for the smell of vinegar. As the aspirin breaks down into acetic acid and salicylic acid, the acetic acid in it causes the smell to be like that of vinegar. This makes people to wonder why does old aspirin smell like vinegar. The main reason for the smell is that the composition of the drug is such that once the drug has been stored for some time, the drug starts to degenerate causing the smell. <P> Report Abuse. This vinegar oder is caused by the aspirin breaking down into its original compounds that were used to synthesize it in the first place, salicylic acid and acetic acid. It is the acetic acid that you smell as it is the major component of vinegar.

what is a political satire cartoon
|
<P> During the 20th and 21st Centuries satire is found in an increasing number of media (in cartoons as political cartoons with heavy caricature and exaggeration, and in political magazines) and the parallel exposure of political scandals to performances (including television shows). Other forms of satire of the 1960s and early 1970s typically used the sitcom format, such as the show All in the Family. When Saturday Night Live debuted in 1975, the show began to change the way that comedians would depict the president on television. <P> A writer may point a satire toward a person, a country or even the entire world. Usually, a satire is a comical piece of writing which makes fun of an individual or a society to expose its stupidity and shortcomings. In addition, he hopes that those he criticizes will improve their characters by overcoming their weaknesses. Satire and Irony. Satire and irony are interlinked. Irony is the difference between what is said or done and what is actually meant. Therefore, writers frequently employ satire to point at the dishonesty and silliness of individuals and society and criticize them by ridiculing them. <P> The pictorial satire of William Hogarth is a precursor to the development of political cartoons in 18th century England. The medium developed under the direction of its greatest exponent, James Gillray from London. One of the earliest examples of what we might call satire, The Satire of the Trades, is in Egyptian writing from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. The text's apparent readers are students, tired of studying. It argues that their lot as scribes is useful, and their lot far superior to that of the ordinary man. <P> In modern era, political satire in the United Kingdom includes pamphlets and newspaper articles, such as Private Eye, topical television panel shows such as Have I Got News For You, and television series such as Yes Minister, House of Cards and The Thick of It. Other forms of satire of the 1960s and early 1970s typically used the sitcom format, such as the show All in the Family.

From Wikipedia: Tom the Dancing Bug is a weekly satirical [more…]. <P> Satire has long been a tool of political criticism. Although the term satire may describe an entire work, a passage, or a tone, its characteristics are shared: among these, it employs comedy or humor; has a target and an ideal to compare it to; and describes folly or vice in detail. Satire is actually part of the very definition of cartoon given in the ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA. According to the EA, cartoon targets are most often in the field of political or public affairs, but they may be social customs, fashions, or sports events or personalities.. <P> The UK has a long tradition of political satire, dating from the early years of English literature. In some readings, a number of William Shakespeare 's plays can be seen-or at least performed-as satire, including Richard III and The Merchant of Venice. Other forms of satire of the 1960s and early 1970s typically used the sitcom format, such as the show All in the Family. When Saturday Night Live debuted in 1975, the show began to change the way that comedians would depict the president on television. <P> Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement.

That means a device costing $12,000 will run you, roughly, $300 per month. <P> Given that leasing a copier is a great way to hold on to your business capital, you’ll see leases starting as low as $100 per month all the way up to over $600 or more—and that’s not counting those expensive production-level machines that can handle a much higher workload at much greater speeds. <P> Top-of-the-line copiers cost more than $80,000, but the performance they offer - 100+ ppm and volumes of 600,000 to 800,000 outputs per month-is usually only needed by print shops and central copy offices for large organizations. Copier prices are affected by a number of factors. One is the add-ons you choose. <P> 1 The Canon ImageRunner C4080i Color Copier Bundle 3 does 40 B&W copies per minute; 36 Color copies per minute and costs $18,000 new. 2 The Ricoh Aficio MP C4500 Color Copier is an All-in-one: print, copy, scan and fax. 3 It also has fast speeds of 45 ppm B&W and 40 ppm color. 4 It can be purchased new for around $13,500.

A race without an incumbent is referred to as an open seat. Elections featuring an incumbent, on the other hand, are as Guy Molyneux puts it, fundamentally a referendum on the incumbent.. Voters will first grapple with the record of the incumbent. Only if they decide to fire the incumbent do they begin to evaluate whether the challenger is an acceptable alternative. <P> incumbent-Computer Definition. An entity that is currently in power. An incumbent company is an organization that has been providing goods and services for some time. In politics, the incumbent senator is the person who currently holds that office. The definition of incumbent is laying on top of something. An example of incumbent is a cat lounging on its sleeping owner. Incumbent is defined as the person who is already in an elected office. An example of incumbent is the person who is currently the president. <P> In business the term incumbent is used for the largest company in a certain industry, for instance the traditional phone company in telecommunications, typically called the incumbent operator .

what is meant by differential weathering quizlet

<P> Source Information. Weathering causes the disintegration of rock near the surface of the earth. Plant and animal life, atmosphere and water are the major causes of weathering. Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical Weathering Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments. <P> Discuss the role of water in the three chemical weathering processes. Water plays an important role in the chemical reactions. It can liberate & transport ions from some minerals through dissolution. Water can also facilitate reactions such as rusting, an example of oxidation. Water may also directly react w/exposed minerals, producing new minerals that are stable at Earth's surface. The hydrolysis of feldspar to form kaolinite clay is an example <P> Let's review. Chemical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by chemical reactions. There are different types of chemical weathering. Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a substance when combined with water. The most common example of hydrolysis is feldspar in granite rocks changing to clay. This is a very slow process because lichens are slow-growing and the acid they produce is very weak. However, this is a common type of chemical weathering near rivers and streams. So we see that lichens break down rock by producing acid and we see a similar phenomenon with acid rain. <P> Oxidation. Another type of chemical weathering is oxidation. Oxidation is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. You are probably familiar with oxidation because it is the process that causes rust. So just like your car turns to rust through oxidation, rocks can get rusty if they contain iron. This is a very slow process because lichens are slow-growing and the acid they produce is very weak. However, this is a common type of chemical weathering near rivers and streams. So we see that lichens break down rock by producing acid and we see a similar phenomenon with acid rain. <P> Rocks may be more or less susceptible to weathering because of such things as composition or induration, the hardening of a rock through processes like increased temperature of formation, pressure of formation or cementation of particles by precipitated minerals. Supporting users have an ad free experience! <P> CHAPTER 6 (Weathering and Soil). 1. Weathering is a term which describes the general process by which rocks are broken down at the Earths surface into such things as sediments, clays, soils and substances that are dissolved in water. 2. The process of weathering typically begins when the earths crust is uplifted by tectonic forces. 10. Figure 6.5: As weathering breaks down a rock into smaller particles, the surface area increases so that the process of chemical weathering is accelerated. Dissolving of Minerals. 1. Slightly acidic rainwater can also react with non-silicates in a rock or soil. <P> Weathering-the disintegration and decomposition of rocks on the surface of the earth. Mechanical weathering: rocks might break into many smaller pieces through physical processes Chemical weathering: chemical transformation of rock into one or more new compounds. Water plays an important role in the chemical reactions. It can liberate & transport ions from some minerals through dissolution. Water can also facilitate reactions such as rusting, an example of oxidation. <P> weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smalle … r particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering. Hard rocks, such as granite, weather more slowly than softer rocks, such as limestone. Differential weathering happens when softer rocks weathers away and leaves harder, more resistant rock. behind. <P> Oxidation is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. This is the process that causes rust. When iron in rocks reacts with oxygen, it forms iron oxide, which weakens the rock. Carbonation is the mixing of water with carbon dioxide to make carbonic acid. This type of weathering is important in the formation of caves. This is a very slow process because lichens are slow-growing and the acid they produce is very weak. However, this is a common type of chemical weathering near rivers and streams. So we see that lichens break down rock by producing acid and we see a similar phenomenon with acid rain.

Don't forget to like our Didgeridoo Store Facebook page for news and special offers and check out our Didgeridoo Store Youtube videos! <P> The didgeridoo (/ˌdɪdʒəriːˈduː/) (also known as a didjeridu) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia potentially within the last 1,500 years and still in widespread use today both in Australia and around the world. <P> A didgeridoo is a long wooden trumpet-like instrument used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. A real didgeridoo is made of a hollow wooden branch with a beeswax mouthpiece. You and your students can make your very own didgeridoo using offcuts of PVC (plumbing) pipe or wrapping paper tubes. Identification : Historical : Creation : Appreciation 1 : Students will discover a new way to create music. <P> Melanoma is a type of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells that make the pigment melanin). Below are photos of melanoma that formed on the skin. Melanoma can also start in the eye, the intestines, or other areas of the body with pigmented tissues. <P> If the color, size, shape, or height of a mole changes or if it starts to itch, bleed, or ooze, people should tell their doctor. People should also tell their doctor if they see a new mole that doesn't look like their other moles. The photos below show the difference between common moles and dysplastic nevi. <P> Once the drone is going on the didgeridoo try tightening and loosening your lips and moving your tongue into the letter E position slightly to change the pitch. If for example a didgeridoo is tuned to key of C you should be able to vary the key from C sharp to C flat with just lip pressure. <P> While playing Didgeridoo, traditionally Aborigines mimic the sounds of their surroundings. These sounds can be mixed with droning to create rhythms, which is how the Didgeridoo is used as a rhythm wind instrument. The Kangaroo Hop. Keep the drone going on the didgeridoo and quickly say the letter D. Tap the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue while you do it.

At best, this is an ill formed answer, as it is not accurate. Duck eggs hatch dependi … ng on the species of duck. Mallard ducks can hatch as early as 25 days, they do not follow the 28 scenario. <P> It takes 28 days for duck eggs to hatch.....and it takes 21 days for baby chicks to hatch and you can only put 12 eggs under neath a chicken.. <P> Most ducks incubate and hatch their eggs in about 28 days. If your duck has been sitting on her eggs for 5 or more weeks, the eggs are likely infertile. If this is the case, y … ou should remove the infertile eggs so the mother duck can get back to feeding and exercizing. <P> Duckling Hatching Basics Hatching ducklings has become a popular variation to hatching baby chicks each year. Here are a few Duckling Hatching Basics: Holding Eggs Before the Incubation Period Fertile eggs can be held for about a week after laid before incubation without a problem. <P> Hatching can take place over several days. For chickens, run the incubator for 24 days (3 days more than normal hatch time). For ducks and turkeys run the incubator for 32 days (4 <P> Ducks. For information on raising ducklings, go to Raising Ducklings and Goslings. Duck eggs take 28-30 days to hatch, except for Muscovy eggs, which take 35 days.

what receptors are responsible for hearing
|
<P> These impulses are picked up by the 8th cranial nerve and carried to the brain. Conditions that can afflict the sensory receptors for hearing include deterioration of the hair cells, aging, chronic exposure to loud noise, nerve deafness, and trauma. <P> The inner ear contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance. The cochlea is the hearing part of the inner ear. The semicircular canals in the inner ear are part of our balance system. The cochlea is a bony structure shaped like a snail and filled with two fluids (endolymph and perilymph). The Organ of Corti is the sensory receptor inside the cochlea which holds the hair cells, the nerve receptors for hearing. The mechanical energy from movement of the middle ear bones pushes in a membrane (the oval window) in the cochlea. This force moves the cochlea's fluids that, in turn, stimulate tiny hair cells. <P> In the mammalian ear the sensory receptors (hair cells) for hearing are in the cochlea and for ballance are in the semicircular canals. Both the cochlea and semicircular canal … s are part of the inner ear. inner. <P> Sensory Receptors for Hearing: The sensory receptors for hearing are specialized types of sensory receptors that are located in the inner ear. <P> In the mammalian ear the sensory receptors (hair cells) for hearing are in the cochlea and for ballance are in the semicircular canals.

how much does tax fraud cost
|
<P> The UK government estimates that total fraud across the whole of the economy amounts to £73 billion a year. UK government figures for 2012 estimate benefits overpaid due to fraud is £1.2 billion and tax credit fraud is £380 million. So just under £1.6 billion in total; less than 1% of the overall benefits and tax credits expenditure and less than benefits underpaid and overpaid due to error. So to get some perspective, benefit fraud represents 2% of the estimated total annual fraud in the UK. Public sector fraud, which includes benefit fraud, is £20.3 billion a year, so within this category it accounts for just under 8%. <P> Most qualified and reputable tax attorneys will charge their clients on an hourly basis for all services rendered. This will typically be an hourly charge of between $200 and $400. In most cases, a tax attorney will require that their client make a prepayment, which is known as a retainer. This retainer will be a prepayment based on the number of hours that your tax attorney believes they will be working on your behalf <P> Tax evasion will cost the U.S. government $305 billion in 2010 and has cost $3 trillion over the past decade. It is a major contributor to budget deficits and the accumulation of national debt since 2001. Tax evasion also costs state treasuries billions of dollars. For instance, Olson estimates the average honest taxpayer pays a surtax of $2,680 to subsidize all the tax cheats -- an estimate made before the release of the IRS latest analysis of how much money the U.S. Treasury loses to tax evasion -- $385 billion in 2006. <P> It’s hard to wrap my head around how much money that is. Congress was recently unable to agree on a plan to reduce the national deficit by $1 trillion over 10 years. Over the same time period, tax evasion will cost us well over $3.3 trillion. I’m a big proponent of everyone following the tax rules. When we don’t, it means that everyone else has to pick up the slack. Because of this fraud, tax rates are likely higher and future generations will be paying for current expenses. It’s really easy to hide money from the IRS. After I sold my HP TouchPad for $100 profit, it would be really hard for the IRS to track down how much I paid, how much I sold it for on eBay, and how much of a profit I made. <P> The majority of this £20 billion is tax fraud which costs the economy £14 billion annually, or 69%. So we can see that both in absolute and percentage terms tax fraud is a much bigger issue than benefit fraud. So to get some perspective, benefit fraud represents 2% of the estimated total annual fraud in the UK. Public sector fraud, which includes benefit fraud, is £20.3 billion a year, so within this category it accounts for just under 8%. <P> 1 In total, insurance fraud costs more than $96.8 billion a year. 2 Conservative estimates place the cost of property/casualty insurance fraud at $20 billion a year. 3 Health insurance fraud estimates top $61 billion a year. 4 Life insurance fraud exceeds $11.8 billion a year. 1 Auto physical damage fraud reaches about $3 billion each year. 2 Disability insurance fraud is estimated to account for $1 billion each year. 3 Insurance fraud is estimated to be the second largest economic crime in America, exceeded only by tax evasion. <P> In the United States, the IRS estimate of the 2001 tax gap was $345 billion. For 2006, the tax gap is estimated to be $450 billion. A more recent study estimates the 2008 tax gap in the range of $450 to $500 billion, and unreported income to be approximately $2 trillion. Thus, 18 to 19 percent of total reportable income is not properly reported to the IRS. <P> Department of Work and Pensions estimates benefit fraud costs £1bn a year (p11). Putting that in some kind of perspective, the department expects to spend a total of £148bn on benefits, including income support, housing benefit, disability and unemployment payments and more. The claim “Welfare and tax credit fraud and error costs the taxpayer £5.2bn a year.” David Cameron, article for the Manchester Evening News, 10 August 2010. Cathy Newman checks it out. The Sun’s dubbed David Cameron a “£5bn scambuster”.

how long does a tattoo take to fully heal
|
<P> Best Answer: A tattoo will surface heal in approx. one week, varying from person to person, but the healing process beneath will take 1-3 months, during which time strong sunlight and extremes of temperature should be avoided. Make sure you clean your tattoo and use an oniment such as Savlon whilst it's still healing. <P> best answer about four weeks how long a tattoo takes to heal depends on your immune system how detailed the tattoo and the size of the tattoo it can take a couple of weeks to around a month <P> 1 The initial healing of the tattoo will take up to two weeks. 2 During this time, you can expect the tattoo to start peeling or flaking, in a similar way to sunburn. 3 Some colored skin may come away as the tattoo peels, but this is completely normal. <P> My last tattoo healed blazing fast (6 days) however, I still have extra care on it (it's the 10th day) A tattoo usually takes 2-3 weeks to heal completely, and you should wait at least a month for long showers, hot tube, etc... <P> Although people tend to heal at different rates, the first healing stage of a tattoo usually lasts about one week as long as an infection doesn't set in. If you find the pain is more than you expected, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever. <P> A: Complete healing of a tattoo generally takes between one to three weeks on average. This time frame varies based on the size, location and complexity of the tattoo, as well as how closely correct aftercare procedures are followed. Know More. <P> Report Abuse. Well mine is medium-sized and took about 3 weeks to completely heal. Tattoos usually take about 30 days to completely heal. It will scab up quite a bit, maybe more for you since you scab easily. But just remember to clean it as you're supposed to and DO NOT pick the scabs. It will ruin your tattoo.

what is skew
|
<P> Skewed to the Right. Data that are skewed to the right have a long tail that extends to the right. An alternate way of talking about a data set skewed to the right is to say that it is positively skewed. In this situation the mean and the median are both greater than the mode. As a general rule, most of the time for data skewed to the right, the mean will be greater than the median. <P> This explains why data skewed to the right has positive skewness. If the data set is skewed to the right, the mean is greater than the mode, and so subtracting the mode from the mean gives a positive number. A similar argument explains why data skewed to the left has negative skewness. An alternate way of talking about a data set skewed to the right is to say that it is positively skewed. In this situation the mean and the median are both greater than the mode. As a general rule, most of the time for data skewed to the right, the mean will be greater than the median. <P> In mathematics 1 : Skew lines, lines that are neither parallel nor intersecting. 2 Skew-symmetric matrix, a square matrix whose transpose is also its negative. 3 Skew-Hermitian matrix, a complex square matrix whose conjugate transpose is also its negative. 4 Infinite skew polyhedron, an extension of the concept of polyhedra. 1 Skew-Hermitian matrix, a complex square matrix whose conjugate transpose is also its negative. 2 Infinite skew polyhedron, an extension of the concept of polyhedra. 3 Skew-symmetric graph, a directed graph that is isomorphic to its own transpose graph. 4 Skew polygon, a polygon whose vertices do not lie on a plane. <P> 1 This situation is also called negative skewness. 2 When a distribution is skewed to the right (blue dotted curve), the tail on the curve's right-hand side is longer than the tail on the left-hand side, and the mean is greater than the mode. 3 This situation is also called positive skewness. Skewness can be quantified to define the extent to which a distribution differs from a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, the graph appears as a classical, symmetrical bell-shaped curve.. The mean, or average, and the mode, or maximum point on the curve, are equal. <P> A further characterization of the data includes skewness and kurtosis. Skewness is a measure of symmetry, or more precisely, the lack of symmetry. A distribution, or data set, is symmetric if it looks the same to the left and right of the center point. Kurtosis is a measure of whether the data are peaked or flat relative to a normal distribution. That is, data sets with high kurtosis tend to have a distinct peak near the mean, decline rather rapidly, and have heavy tails. Data sets with low kurtosis tend to have a flat top near the mean rather than a sharp peak. <P> In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive or negative, or even undefined. The qualitative interpretation of the skew is complicated. <P> Skewness is asymmetry in a statistical distribution, in which the curve appears distorted or skewed either to the left or to the right. Skewness can be quantified to define the extent to which a distribution differs from a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, the graph appears as a classical, symmetrical bell-shaped curve.. The mean, or average, and the mode, or maximum point on the curve, are equal. <P> DEFINITION of 'Skewness'. Describe asymmetry from the normal distribution in a set of statistical data. Skewness can come in the form of negative skewness or positive skewness, depending on whether data points are skewed to the left (negative skew) or to the right (positive skew) of the data average. Next Up. Skewness risk is the risk that a model assumes a normal distribution of data when in fact data is skewed to the left or right of the mean. <P> 1 When a distribution is skewed to the right (blue dotted curve), the tail on the curve's right-hand side is longer than the tail on the left-hand side, and the mean is greater than the mode. 2 This situation is also called positive skewness. Skewness can be quantified to define the extent to which a distribution differs from a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, the graph appears as a classical, symmetrical bell-shaped curve.. The mean, or average, and the mode, or maximum point on the curve, are equal.

what kind of racket does venus williams use
|
<P> Confidence votes 79. Serena Williams uses the Wilson Blade Team BLX racket. This is one of several models of Wilson BLX rackets that use fibers from basalt, a volcanic rock, in the racket body. These fibers make the racket stronger, but they also reduce vibration that comes from hitting the ball. The addition of basalt to [K] Factor technology resulted in the BLX series. Serena uses natural gut string in her Wilson BLX racket. This string has a better feel and provides more power, but it's more expensive (not a concern for Ms. Williams) and can be damaged by water or even high humidity. Some natural gut string comes with a coating to protect it from moisture damage <P> Report Abuse. Serena Williams and her sister Venus both use Wilson KBlade Teams which are 104 sq. inches. They both use Wilson K Gut string and Wilson overgrips. I have the same exact racket and it's pretty awesome on serves and groundstrokes. It gives you a lot of power and control even though it's a flexible frame. String your racket a little on the tighter side to get more control. I would definitely demo it before you get it, because it's $190. <P> Share & Comment.

Best Answer: cooked bacon is safe to leave out at room temp for two reasons. One is that it is a cured meat product which resists the formation of organisms and two, it is cooked which would also kill organisms. <P> 1.) Trying to cook cold bacon. Bacon is meat -- especially fatty meat. The secret to the meat and fat cooking evenly is for them to start out around the same temperature. Let your bacon sit at room temperature for fifteen minutes or so before you cook it. It will help the fat render more quickly, so it will be crispy and not burnt. 2.) Starting bacon in a hot pan. <P> Cooked pasta should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 to 3 hours. Any food that is left out at room temperature after cooking can be dangerous at any tim … e past the 4 hour mark. Answered. In Food & Cooking. No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods sho … uld be kept out of the danger zone which is above 40°F and below 140°F. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria. <P> Bacon CAN be heavily smoked and cured for room-temperature storage, but most grocery-store bacon is not this kind. Due to the nitrates/nitrates and smoking process, normal bacon should be safe at room temperature for longer than the 2 hours we give uncured meats, but 32 hours is simply WAY TOO LONG. share | improve this answer. answered Sep 30 '11 at 5:15.

how much do you earn as an apprentice at mcdonalds
|
<P> It’s an ask me anything ;) Last year the two stores produced a combined turnover of just over $4 million. After 12 years of being with McDonald’s – yeah, I probably could retire. But I want to move into a field where I can actually make a difference and do something that I love, so I hope to keep working. I don’t know why, but I’m not actually too fond of McDonald’s – ever since I started working there as a teen. I took home 15%, which was around $600,000 last year. USD that’s 572k. You’re required to have a business degree, or a successful business career. <P> Wages. The average yearly salary for an electrician was $48,250 as of May 2010. An electrical apprentice will usually earn 30 percent to 50 percent of what a licensed electrician will make. This would put an apprentice's median salary between $14,475 and $24,125. As the apprentice gains skills, he will get pay increases. <P> A residential wireman apprenticeship can take between two and three years to complete, depending on the program. First-year apprentices in the Puget Sound Electrical Apprenticeship Residential Wireman Program earned between 55 percent and 60 percent of a journeyman's wage. When severe weather takes down a line, they are the ones called to restore power. Wages for a first-year outside lineman apprentice vary based on the program. First-year apprentices in the Tennessee Valley Authority's Lineman Apprentice Program earn between $36,450 and $38,370 per year. Apprentices in the Northwest Line's Outside Electrical Lineman Apprenticeship are paid a percentage of a journeyman's wages, which was $44.73 per hour as of February 2012 <P> Q. How much pay does an apprentice receive? A. Although it varies from industry to industry, the average starting wage of an apprentice is about 50 percent of a journey workers rate of pay. Apprentices usually earn a five-percent raise every six months if training and school performance is satisfactory. Back to top! <P> The average McDonald's restaurant generates $2.5 million in sales annually, making it the second-highest-grossing chain in the US by sales per unit behind Chick-fil-A, according to QSR magazine. But to open a single restaurant, the company requires that potential franchisees have liquid assets of at least $750,000. Startup costs, which include construction and equipment expenses, average between $955,708 and $2.3 million, according to McDonald's. <P> As of May 2013, the food-preparation and service industry paid an average hourly wage of $9.08. In a separate BLS category, we find over half a million fast-food cooks who earn, on average, $9.07 an hour. But that varies by industry and state. Cooks in gasoline stations earn, on average, $8.68 per hour, while cooks in grocery stores get $10.02. The San Francisco area has the highest average wages for fast-food workers in the country, but at $12.17 per hour, that falls well short of the $15 demanded by the protesting McDonald’s employees. <P> NBC today took the rare step of responding to a tabloid story — a report in the New York Post that Celebrity Apprentice executive producers Mark Burnett and Donald Trump have a two-year deal with the network that will pay them $160 million, with star Trump pocketing some $65 million a year. Donald Trump and The Apprentice franchise remain a key part of the NBC primetime lineup and we are looking forward to another compelling cycle next season.” In May, NBC renewed Celebrity Apprentice for another season to launch in midseason. <P> In addition to those costs, McDonald's charges a $45,000 franchisee fee and an ongoing monthly service fee equal to 4% of gross sales. Franchisees must also pay rent to the company, which is a percentage of monthly sales. But to open a single restaurant, the company requires that potential franchisees have liquid assets of at least $750,000. Startup costs, which include construction and equipment expenses, average between $955,708 and $2.3 million, according to McDonald's. <P> Believe me though, owning a McDonald’s is one of the best things I have done. A hell of a lot. I averaged $3.87 million dollars total turnover per year over 12 years of owning McDonald’s franchises, which is around $46 million. To be honest with you, I have very limited control in the way the store was developed, and run. I don’t know why, but I’m not actually too fond of McDonald’s – ever since I started working there as a teen. I took home 15%, which was around $600,000 last year. USD that’s 572k.

how long to bake a whole chicken in the oven
|
<P> Set the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Step 2: Preheat the oven and season the chicken. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While the oven is heating, brush the chicken with olive oil or butter and season with salt, pepper, and desired herbs and/or spices. I find it takes about 90 minutes in a 375 F to cook a 2-3 pound chicken. I notice that Safeway always sells whole frying chickens, but we roast them in the oven. I believe the fryer part refers to the size of the chicken. Fryers are generally smaller than other chickens. <P> 1 4 Roast the chicken in the oven for 15 minutes. 2 Reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue roasting until the juices run clear and a thermometer inserted into the inner thigh (but not touching the bone) registers 165°F, about 50 minutes to 1 hour more. 3 5 Remove the chicken from the oven and place on a cutting board. 1 3 Drizzle the oil on the chicken and rub it all over the skin. 2 Season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. 3 Place the lemon and herbs inside the cavity, if using. 4 Place the chicken breast-side up in a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet. 5 <P> Roast whole (thawed) chickens for 20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes. High heat method (this creates a crispy, darker skin): Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cook whole (thawed) chicken for 10-15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and roast for 20 minutes per pound. I find it takes about 90 minutes in a 375 F to cook a 2-3 pound chicken. I notice that Safeway always sells whole frying chickens, but we roast them in the oven. I believe the fryer part refers to the size of the chicken. Fryers are generally smaller than other chickens. <P> 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2 Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. 3 Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. 4 Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. 5 Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. 1 Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). 2 Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. 3 Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving. <P> 1 3-1/2 to 4 pounds: Roast 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours. 2 4-1/2 to 5 pounds: Roast 1-1/2 to 2 hours. 3 Continue to bake chicken until the juices run clear, the chicken is no longer pink, and the drumsticks move easily in their sockets. 4 Then remove the roasted chicken from the oven. 1 4-1/2 to 5 pounds: Roast 1-1/2 to 2 hours. 2 Continue to bake chicken until the juices run clear, the chicken is no longer pink, and the drumsticks move easily in their sockets. 3 Then remove the roasted chicken from the oven. <P> The temperature should be 165 F. How long it will take will also depend on the size of your bird. I find it takes about 90 minutes in a 375 F to cook a 2-3 pound chicken.

Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. <P> Set the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Step 2: Preheat the oven and season the chicken. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While the oven is heating, brush the chicken with olive oil or butter and season with salt, pepper, and any herbs and spices the roasted chicken recipe indicates. Put the chicken in the roasting pan into the preheated oven. The chicken cooking times vary by weight and by recipe, but in general, follow these guidelines: 2-1/2- to 3-pound chicken: Roast 1 to 1-1/4 hours. 3- to 3-1/2-pound chicken: Roast 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours.

why use a quasi experimental design
|
<P> The first part of creating a quasi-experimental design is to identify the variables. The quasi-independent variable will be the x-variable, the variable that is manipulated in order to affect a dependent variable. “X” is generally a grouping variable with different levels. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to the treatment condition, but using some criterion other than random assignment (e.g., an eligibility cutoff mark). In some cases, the researcher may have control over assignment to treatment <P> Quasi-experimental research shares similarities with the traditional experimental design or randomized controlled trial, but they specifically lack the element of random assignment to treatment or control. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to the treatment condition, but using some criterion other than random assignment (e.g., an eligibility cutoff mark). In some cases, the researcher may have control over assignment to treatment <P> A quasi-experiment is an empirical study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on its target population. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to the treatment condition, but using some criterion other than random assignment (e.g., an eligibility cutoff mark). In some cases, the researcher may have control over assignment to treatment <P> Quasi-experimental study designs, often described as nonrandomized, pre-post intervention studies, are common in the medical informatics literature. Yet little has been written about the benefits and limitations of the quasi-experimental approach as applied to informatics studies. This paper outlines a relative hierarchy and nomenclature of quasi-experimental study designs that is applicable to medical informatics intervention studies. Examples of quasi-experimental studies follow. As one example of a quasi-experimental study, a hospital introduces a new order-entry system and wishes to study the impact of this intervention on the number of medication-related adverse events before and after the intervention. <P> Design. Quasi-experimental design involves selecting groups, upon which a variable is tested, without any random pre-selection processes. For example, to perform an educational experiment, a class might be arbitrarily divided by alphabetical selection or by seating arrangement <P> Quasi-Experimental Designs In a quasi-experimental design, the researcher lacks control over the assignment to conditions and/or does not manipulate the causal variable of interest. A quasi-independent variable is not manipulated by the researcher but rather is an event that occurred for other reasons. <P> quasi-experimental design: This category of design is most frequently used when it is not feasible for the researcher to use random assignment. This article describes the strengths and limitations of specific types of quasi-experimental and true experimental design. Frequently used types of quasi-experimental designs include the following: Nonequivalent group, posttest only (Quasi-experimental). The nonequivalent, posttest only design consists of administering an outcome measure to two groups or to a program/treatment group and a comparison. <P> Quasi-Experimental Design. A quasi-experimental design is one that looks a bit like an experimental design but lacks the key ingredient -- random assignment. My mentor, Don Campbell, often referred to them as queasy experiments because they give the experimental purists a queasy feeling. Instead, I'll present two of the classic quasi-experimental designs in some detail and show how we analyze them. Probably the most commonly used quasi-experimental design (and it may be the most commonly used of all designs) is the nonequivalent groups design.

what is celtic mythology

<P> 1,202 pages on this wiki. Celtic mythology refers to the polytheistic religious beliefs of the Celts. The Celts were an Iron Age people who inhabited the British Isles (including Ireland),Scotland, Gaul, Central Europe, parts of modern Turkey, and the Iberian Peninsula. Celtic mythology varies greatly by region, though there are some things common throughout, for example, the Irish form of the god Nodens is Nuada. <P> The mythology of pre-Christian Ireland did not entirely survive the conversion to Christianity. However, much of it was preserved in medieval Irish literature, though it was shorn of its religious meanings. <P> On the other hand, Celtic mythology is incorporated into the popular image of the druids. Merlin in his tall hat turning Wat into a fish or a squirrel. A powerful nature religion peopled with druids and bards who spent as long learning their craft as Buddha spent under the banyan tree seeking nirvana. In any case, we find in Celtic mythology a strong foundation in ancient goddess (mother earth) and fertility religion (common throughout the ancient world), merged with the peculiar emphasis on the Otherworld and its accessibility to mankind found in the druid religion. <P> Celtic mythology. The religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Celts, an ancient Indo-European people.

what is coade stone
|
<P> Coade stone. Around 1720 Richard Holt of Lambeth was granted a patent for an artificial stone. In 1769, after the patent expired, a Mr Coade set up a factory in north Lambeth, close to the one belonging to Holt. After Coade’s death, first his wife Eleanor Coade carried on the business until her death in 1796 and then their daughter, confusingly also called Eleanor Coade, took control until her death in 1821. <P> 1 The elegant Georgian houses have distinctive doorways decorated with Coade stone, a tough, resilient artificial stone manufactured in Lambeth. 2 The end facade has a niche with a marble putto, and above, the royal coat of arms in Coade stone. <P> As a material, Coade stone was replaced by Portland cement as a form of artificial stone and it appears to have been largely phased out by the 1840s. Mrs Coade's own name for her products was Lithodipyra, a name constructed from ancient Greek words meaning stone-twice-fire (λίθος / δίς / πυρά), or twice fired stone. <P> Coade. Having perfected the recipes and techniques of producing Coade stone to the same standard as the original 18 th Century Coade, the idea of then using this ability to recreate classical sculpture has developed into using the material in much broader and more contemporary ways. <P> Coade stone is a type of stoneware. Mrs Coade's own name for her products was Lithodipyra, a name constructed from ancient Greek words meaning stone-twice-fire (λίθος / δίς / πυρά), or twice fired stone. Its colours varied from light grey to light yellow (or even beige) and its surface is best described as having a matte finish <P> Though it was a marvel during the Industrial Revolution, Coade stone was phased out in the 1840s following Eleanor’s death, and it was replaced by Portland cement as a building material. — 1 Peter 2:4. Throughout London, there are statues and other items made from a unique building material called Coade stone. Developed by Eleanor Coade for her family business in the late 1700s, this artificial stone is virtually indestructible and has the capacity to withstand time, weather, and man-made pollution. <P> Lithodipyra was first created around 1770 by Eleanor Coade who ran Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory, Coade and Sealy, and Coade in Lambeth, London, from 1769 until her death in 1821, after which Lithodipyra continued to be manufactured by her last business partner William Croggon until 1833. Mrs Coade's own name for her products was Lithodipyra, a name constructed from ancient Greek words meaning stone-twice-fire (λίθος / δίς / πυρά), or twice fired stone. <P> Eleanor Coade (3 June 1733 – 16 November 1821) was a British businesswoman known for manufacturing Neoclassical statues, architectural decorations and garden ornaments made of Lithodipyra (Coade stone) for over 50 years from 1769 until her death. She should not be confused with her mother, also named Eleanor. She is commemorated by the Coade Stone, placed under Westminster Bridge by the footpath to Royal Festival Hall, which now occupies site of her factory at Narrow Wall. The Coade Stone is the bottom stone of a horse-mill used in her factory, a wheel-shaped millstone with a prominent internal axle lip. <P> Origin of COADE STONE. after Eleanor Coade, 19th century British manufacturer.

what is considered indie bands
|
<P> Alternative rock is a genre of rock music that emerged from the underground music scene of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. The term alternative was coined in the 1980s to describe punk rock-inspired bands on independent record labels that did not fit into the mainstream genres of the time. <P> 7. Indie Music. In it's true definition, indie music is any music that is produced by unsigned or non major label artists. Today indie music most commonly refers to a genre of music that is heavily influenced by electronic, folk, and rock music. A good and what is probably the best known artist for this genre is Beck. <P> Considering more than half of what's on top is not indie rock, it isn't that surprising. Really, it's filled with overrated famous Alternative bands. I was surprised to see the Hoosiers up there though. I really think they're a great band, but I didn't know they were considered in that high of a regard. Pixies are one of the best rock bands ever! This is one of the most important bands in rock history, most bands on this list owe a lot to Pixies, and somehow this is at 50. Pixies may not be the best band in the genre, but they still deserve to be WAY higher. The godfathers of true Independent music. <P> Kings of leon. For me, the strokes are awesome, but they aren't really indie. All good bands (maybe except for kings of leon), but not indie. I can't actually believe that Blur or The script is even on this list. Pixies are one of the best rock bands ever! This is one of the most important bands in rock history, most bands on this list owe a lot to Pixies, and somehow this is at 50. Pixies may not be the best band in the genre, but they still deserve to be WAY higher. The godfathers of true Independent music. <P> Some have their roots in a strict definition (indie from independent labels, rock as the traditional guitar/bass/drums setup, and so on), but we deviate from such definitions once we know what we like. And when it comes down to perception, everyone's perception is different. Then there is a word: indie becomes the moniker to denote that sound--less about the label and more about the music. Indie is hard to define, and it is because of this rough approximate definition that you can lump in so many bands that might not even have their roots in such a genre. <P> These 10 animal facts will amaze you. The term indie rock is short for independent rock, and refers to a category of music in which many artists are on small independent labels or are unsigned, as opposed to being signed to major labels. Some artists, such as Death Cab For Cutie, have signed to major labels, yet are still considered to be indie artists. <P> Because of indie bands finding more mainstream appeal, a certain sound emerges: less formulaic rock, weird genre influences, more experimentation. The sound of indie music is hard to pin down, but creative expression comes to mind. What started as cult followings of a few fans become hundreds and then thousands. Then there is a word: indie becomes the moniker to denote that sound--less about the label and more about the music. Indie is hard to define, and it is because of this rough approximate definition that you can lump in so many bands that might not even have their roots in such a genre. <P> Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. Indie rock was extremely diverse, with subgenres that include indie pop, jangle pop, and lo-fi, among others. Originally used to describe record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with alternative rock. The term indie rock became associated with the bands and genres that remained dedicated to their independent status. By the end of the 1990s indie rock developed a number of subgenres and related styles

They can treat some types of cancer. Monoclonal means one type. So each monoclonal antibody (MAB) drug is a lot of copies of one specific type of antibody. Monoclonal antibodies work by recognising and finding specific proteins on cancer cells. Each monoclonal antibody recognises one particular protein. Different types of cancer have different proteins. So, we need to make different antibodies to target different <P> Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are monospecific antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell, in contrast to polyclonal antibodies which are made from several different immune cells. <P> Monoclonal antibody: An antibody produced by a single clone of cells. A monoclonal antibody is therefore a single pure type of antibody. Monoclonal antibodies can be made in large quantities in the laboratory and are a cornerstone of immunology.

And it should, azodicarbonamide is an industrial chemical used to make yoga mats, shoe rubber, and synthetic leather. Azodicarbonamide Creates Toxic By-Products When Heated. While azodicarbonamide is used to condition bread dough, when it’s baked, the heat causes it to break down. Two by-products can result: semicarbazide and ethyl carbamate. Semicarbazide belongs to a family of chemicals known as hydrazines that are especially carcinogenic <P> Guest Writer for Wake Up World. The recent revelation that Subway bread contains azodicarbonamide has gotten a lot of attention. And it should… azodicarbonamide is a dangerous industrial chemical used to make yoga mats, shoe rubber, and synthetic leather. 6. While azodicarbonamide is used to condition bread dough, when it’s baked, the heat causes it to break down. Two by-products can result: semicarbazide and ethyl carbamate. Semicarbazide belongs to a family of chemicals known as hydrazines that are especially carcinogenic. <P> The FDA disguised the chemical name Bromide by using the name Azodicarbonamide. A main food staple around the world is bread. Egypt for an example relies on the production of wheat from their country, aside from buying/subsidies from other countries to feed the 80 million people in the country. Use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is supposedly banned in Australia and in Europe. And, supposedly in Singapore, the use of azodicarbonamide can result in up to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of $450,000. <P> Azodicarbonamide (ADA) is a chemical substance approved for use as a whitening agent in cereal flour and as a dough conditioner in bread baking. 2. <P> In 2014, azodicarbonamide drew attention as the yoga mat chemical, because the compound is used both as a food additive and as a plastic blowing agent. Amid public discomfort with the dual uses of azodicarbonamide, the sandwich franchise Subway announced that it would no longer use it as a dough conditioner. Azodicarbonamide, or azo(bis)formamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 O 2 N 4. It is a yellow to orange red, odorless, crystalline powder. As a food additive, it is known by the E number E927 <P> As a food additive, azodicarbonamide is used as a flour bleaching agent and a dough conditioner. It reacts with moist flour as an oxidizing agent. The main reaction product is biurea, a derivative of urea, which is stable during baking. Secondary reaction products include semicarbazide and ethyl carbamate. Azodicarbonamide, or azo(bis)formamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 O 2 N 4.

what is the function of transfer rna (trna)
|
<P> transfer RNA / tRNA. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from an mRNA molecule. Proteins are built from smaller units called amino acids, which are specified by three-nucleotide mRNA sequences called codons. When a tRNA recognizes and binds to its corresponding codon in the ribosome, the tRNA transfers the appropriate amino acid to the end of the growing amino acid chain. Then the tRNAs and ribosome continue to decode the mRNA molecule until the entire sequence is translated <P> The interaction of tRNA and mRNA in protein synthesis. A transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA and archaically referred to as sRNA, for soluble RNA) is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins. If the tRNA's anticodon matches the mRNA, another tRNA already bound to the ribosome transfers the growing polypeptide chain from its 3’ end to the amino acid attached to the 3’ end of the newly delivered tRNA, a reaction catalyzed by the ribosome. <P> In the cytoplasm are tRNA molecules. These are strands of RNA. One end binds to a specific free amino acid, and the other end possesses an anticodon, which is able to bind with a specific codon on the mRNA molecule Peace. Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to messenger RNA (mRNA) in order to build the polypeptides. Transfer RNA function as part of protein synthesis through the process of translation. Specifically, they take a 3-nucleotide code from the mRNA, then grab the proper amin … o acid associated with that sequence and bring it to the enzyme building the protein. <P> About tRNA. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small RNA molecules containing 75 to 95 nucleotides. Cells contain many different tRNA molecules. Most of the tRNAs function as carriers of amino acids and participate in protein synthesis. However, tRNAs also take part in reactions not related to ribosome-dependent translation. <P> tRNA. The main function of transfer RNA or tRNA is to carry amino acids to the ribosomes and interact with the mRNA in translation of protein synthesis. These tRNAs have 70-90 nucleotides. All matured tRNA molecules have secondary structure containing several hairpin loops. <P> tRNA Structure. Transfer RNA (or abbreviated as tRNA) is small RNA molecule, typically between 70 to 90 nucleotides in length, which main function is to deliver amino acids required for the process of protein synthesis. tRNAs are carrying amino acids to the ribosome, where the actual protein synthesis takes place. tRNA Function. The order of the nucleotides in messenger RNA determines which amino acids and in what order will incorporated into the protein product of the gene. The role of tRNA is to recognize a specific codon and to deliver the corresponding amino acid (the codon to anti-codon matching pattern). <P> RNA molecules are comprised of nucleotides, which are small building blocks for both RNA and DNA. tRNA is a specialized RNA molecule with a very specific purpose, to bring protein subunits (amino acids) to the ribosome, where proteins are constructed. <P> Best Answer: Transfer RNA is abreviated (tRNA). Its main purpose is to transfer specific amino acids to growing polypeptide chain during the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during what you call translation. Submit. · just now. Report Abuse. tRNA also known as transfer rna brings amino acids to the ribosome in the translation part of protein synthesis. The ribosome which is bound to the growing polypeptide, pairs the triplet sequence of the tRNA molecule to the anticodon in the ribosome.

what does stp forwarding mean
|
<P> Now, in a stable topology, both the Root port and Designated port are in Forwarding state. Hence, saying that the port is Forwarding does not exactly tell us what is the function of the port-it can well be either Designated or a Root port. I would like to know if the Spanning Tree forwarding state is applicable to the designated and root port. I read at many places that Spanning-tree supported the following states and roles. Spanning-Tree States Port Roles. <P> Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 protocol that runs on bridges and switches. The specification for STP is IEEE 802.1D. The main purpose of STP is to ensure that you do not create loops when you have redundant paths in your network. Loops are deadly to a network. You implement STP on bridges and switches in order to prevent loops in the network. Use STP in situations where you want redundant links, but not loops. Redundant links are as important as backups in the case of a failover in <P> Before you configure STP, select a switch to be the root of the spanning tree. This switch does not need to be the most powerful switch, but choose the most centralized switch on the network. All data flow across the network is from the perspective of this switch. You implement STP on bridges and switches in order to prevent loops in the network. Use STP in situations where you want redundant links, but not loops. Redundant links are as important as backups in the case of a failover in a network. <P> The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is an older network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. 1 Unlike in STP, RSTP will respond to BPDUs sent from the direction of the root bridge. 2 An RSTP bridge will propose its spanning tree information to its designated ports. 3 If another RSTP bridge receives this information and determines this is the superior root information, it sets all its other ports to discarding. <P> Spanning tree protocol is a link layer network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged LAN. It is based on an algorithm invented by Radia Perlman while working for Digital Equipment Corporation.[1][2] In the OSI model for computer networking, STP falls under the OSI layer-2. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), is defined in the IEEE Standard 802.1D. As the name suggests, it creates a spanning tree within a mesh network of connected layer-2 bridges (typically Ethernet switches), and disables those links that are not part of the tree, leaving a single active path between any two network nodes. <P> STP does not affect ports that connect to workstations or PCs. These ports remain forwarded. Note: The addition or removal of VLANs when STP runs in per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST / PVST+) mode triggers spanning tree recalculation for that VLAN instance and the traffic is disrupted only for that VLAN. You implement STP on bridges and switches in order to prevent loops in the network. Use STP in situations where you want redundant links, but not loops. Redundant links are as important as backups in the case of a failover in a network. <P> (Redirected from STP). The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a method for dynamically calculating the best spanning-tree of a computer network with or without loops. By definition a tree is loop free. The STP do its works at layer 2 (data-link) of the OSI model. Mesh networks without STP enabled may experience Loopback. The need for STP occurs when your router is being used in a mesh network with multiple WDS-enabled repeaters, or in an ad hoc network with multiple ad hoc connections. <P> Spanning tree in a nutshell. 1 STP provides a means to prevent loops by blocking links in an Ethernet network. 2 The root bridge in a spanning tree is the logical center and sees all traffic on a network. 3 Spanning tree recalculations are performed automatically when the network changes but cause a temporary network outage. 4 Newer protocols, such as ... STP configuration. Bridges will perform the spanning tree algorithm when they are first connected to the network or whenever there is a topology change. When a bridge hears a configuration message, a special type of BPDU (bridge protocol data unit), it will begin its disruptive spanning tree algorithm. <P> Spanning tree in a nutshell. 1 STP provides a means to prevent loops by blocking links in an Ethernet network. 2 Blocked links can be brought in to service if active links fail. 3 The root bridge in a spanning tree is the logical center and sees all traffic on a network.

<P> Moose are about 3 meters /10 feet long and about 2 meters / 6.5 feet tall. Males usually weigh about 500 kilograms / 1,100 pounds, and females weigh about 400 kilograms / 880 pounds. The moose has a fur coat colored between reddish-brown and blackish-brown. In winter, their fur becomes a grayish color. <P> Size. Moose are the largest members of the deer family, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. They are also the tallest mammals in North America. Their height, from hoof to shoulder, ranges from 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters). Moose have short tails, a hump on their shoulders and large ears that can rotate to give them stereophonic hearing. Their fur is generally brown or black and provides excellent insulation from the cold. Male moose, called bulls, have massive antlers. These can grow 6 feet (1.8 m)wide from tip to tip. <P> Male Alaska moose can stand over 2.1 m (6.9 ft) at the shoulder, and weigh over 634.5 kg (1,399 lb). The antlers on average have a span of 1.8 m (5.9 ft). Female Alaska moose stand on average 1.8 m (5.9 ft) at the shoulder and can weigh close to 478 kg (1,054 lb). The largest Alaska moose was shot in western Yukon in September 1897; it weighed 820 kg (1,808 lb), and was 2.33 m (7.6 ft) tall at the shoulder. The Alaska moose (Alces alces gigas) or giant moose or Alaskan moose is a subspecies of moose that ranges from Alaska to western Yukon. The Alaska moose is largest subspecies of moose. <P> In some areas, moose are the primary source of food for wolves. Moose usually flee upon detecting wolves. Wolves usually follow moose at a distance of 100 to 400 metres (330 to 1,310 ft), occasionally at a distance of 2 to 3 kilometres (1.2 to 1.9 mi). Attacks from wolves against young moose may last seconds, though sometimes they can be drawn out for days with adults.

what do poultry lice look like
|
<P> Poultry lice are fast-moving, 6 legged, flat insects with round heads that live only on the chicken and its feathers. They are beige or straw colored and are typically found at the base of feather shafts near the vent. Poultry lice feed on dead skin and other debris such as feather quill casings. Northern fowl mite. Typical signs of a mite infestation are scabs near the vent, eggs on the feathers and feather shafts and a light colored bird’s feathers may appear dirty in spots where the mites have left droppings and debris. A heavy mite infestation can lead to anemia and death of a chicken. <P> I wanted to make a short video to share with anyone who would like to know, what to look for, and how to check your chickens for lice, and where to find lice when checking your birds. I also wanted to share what lie look like. When searching for lice, look around the VENT area, and be quick when looking. <P> A good treatment for mites and lice wood ash for your chickens to dust bath in. Sevin Dust I found out has been banned for use on poultry. There are other treatments like poultry sprays. Treat by spraying on the chicken and on the roosts, nesting boxes, everything. I use Garden & Poultry dust to help prevent (not treat) mites and lice. They’re many other treatments for these parasites. <P> Northern fowl mites and Red Roost Mites are two of the most common poultry mites. These tiny, eight-legged beasts can live both on the chicken and in the coop. They are partial to cracks and crevices in wood, roosts and inside nesting boxes. Northern fowl mite. Typical signs of a mite infestation are scabs near the vent, eggs on the feathers and feather shafts and a light colored bird’s feathers may appear dirty in spots where the mites have left droppings and debris. A heavy mite infestation can lead to anemia and death of a chicken. <P> We have some kind of bug/mite on the chickens and in the coop. They get on us if we handle the chickens yuck! They look like little light brown/cream, we also have the ones that are called red mites too. I checked this evening on the roost and saw several red mites when I smashed them it was if they were full of blood. <P> Mites and lice are a common problem for chickens and can be carried in by wild birds, so if you have an infestation, it doesn't necessarily mean your management practices are bad. There are some things that you just can't control... and birds landing in your trees or walking in your yard is probably one of them. Mites inhabit your birds' feathers and suck their blood: they're like fleas, lice or mosquitos that live in your hair--yuk! Luckily, the types of lice and most mites that affect birds are not interested in humans. A mite is so tiny, it's hard to see, and some types of mites only come out at night <P> This is a close up of the chicken lice/mite eggs-- it looks like pretty gross. These are the atrocious offenders in all their nasty glory. Feather mites leave behind what looks like mold on chicken feathers. There are several different types of mites/lice, but the most common ones have tell tale signs that are easily visible by inspecting the bird. So lets all buck up and take a look at some good ol' chicken mite infestations. I won't post a picture here because honestly-- it's too gross. <P> Mites can be grey, dark brown or reddish in color and can often be seen along feather shafts and underneath roosts after dark. Mites are active at night when they venture out to leech blood from chickens. With its moist, rich blood supply, the vent area is a favorite feeding ground of mites. Northern fowl mite. Typical signs of a mite infestation are scabs near the vent, eggs on the feathers and feather shafts and a light colored bird’s feathers may appear dirty in spots where the mites have left droppings and debris. A heavy mite infestation can lead to anemia and death of a chicken. <P> Bird lice eggs are laid on the shaft of birds’ feathers and hatch after a few days.

what does it mean when your fingernails peel
|
<P> Medications. Not only can a good number of medications dry your nails and skin, but some medications also deplete certain nutrients in the body. One of the things you might want to do if you are taking any prescription or OTC medications is to check the known side effects to see if that could be the problem. <P> Peeling nails can be the result of environmental or internal issues. Your nails and skin are a prime resource if you want to tell if your body is healthy. Of course, your nails are also heavily utilized in everyday activities which can also cause damage. <P> Peeling and breaking of fingernails can be a frustrating problem, but it usually does not indicate that you have a significant medical condition. Nails that peel and break -- often called brittle nails -- are often part of the natural changes that occur with age. <P> Nails are made from keratin, a protein that’s also found in your hair. Nails have multiple, tough layers that can peel, which can cause the nails to appear thin or become weakened causing them to split. The medical term for peeling or splitting fingernails is onychoschizia. <P> If your fingernails are peeling but your toenails aren’t (or vice-versa), this signals an external cause. If both your fingernails and toenails are peeling, this signals an internal cause. Internal causes can vary but sometimes dry, peeling nails can indicate a vitamin deficiency, typically an iron deficiency. <P> If you are getting splitting, brittle or peeling nails once in a while, you are not alone. It seems strange when your healthy, strong, beautiful nails one day start peeling and splitting; and you wonder why that is happening to you. <P> Medical Conditions. Peeling and breaking of the fingernails can be caused by a fungal infection of the nails. Less commonly, brittle nails are due to other nail or skin conditions, such as psoriasis. Sometimes, brittle nails are a sign of a general medical condition, such as thyroid disease or diabetes.

The lighting of the menorah, known in Hebrew as the hanukiya, is the most important Hanukkah tradition. A menorah is a candlestand with nine branches. Usually eight candles-one for each day of Hanukka-are of the same height, with a taller one in the middle, the shamash (servant), which is used to light the others. <P> Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is the most popular of all the festivals from South Asia. It is also an occasion for celebration by Jains and Sikhs. The festival of Diwali extends over five days. Because of the lights, fireworks and sweets involved, it's a great favourite with children.

Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights and it remembers the rededication of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This happened in the 160s BC (before Jesus was born). (Hanukkah is the Jewish word for 'dedication'.) Hanukkah last for eight days and starts on the 25th of Kislev, the month in the Jewish calendar that occurs at about the same time as December. Because the Jewish calendar is lunar (it uses the moon for its dates), Kislev can happen from late November to late December

how long does a mortgage in principle take
|
<P> For our $100,000 mortgage, the principal is $100,000. Interest. Interest is the lender\'s reward for taking a risk and loaning money to a borrower. The interest rate on a mortgage has a direct impact on the size of a mortgage payment-higher interest rates mean higher mortgage payments. Once the size and term of the loan have been determined, there are four factors that play a role in the calculation of a mortgage payment. Those four items are principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI). As we look at these four factors, we'll consider a $100,000 mortgage as an example. <P> (If you have negative amortization and your mortgage is actually growing in debt, see Understanding the Mortgage Payment Structure.). For example, let's examine a simple mortgage for $100,000 at an interest rate of 4% annually and a time to maturity of 24 years. The yearly mortgage payment is $6,558.68. The first payment will consist of an interest charge of $4,000 ($100,000 x 4%) and a principal repayment of $2558.68 ($6,558.68 - $4,000). The outstanding mortgage balance after this payment is $97,441.32 ($100,000 - $2,558.68). <P> A Decision in Principle can usually be obtained within 30 minutes. However, depending on the number of requests a lender receives at any one time – if deals are being withdrawn or amended, if it is a bank holiday weekend, for example, the number naturally increases – it may take up to 2 or 3 days. What is a ‘Footprint’. Part of the Decision in Principle process is a credit search for the lenders to look at how you run your finances. This will either leave a soft or a hard footprint. A soft footprint is where you and the lender in question only can see on your file that a search has been carried out. <P> If you have all the documents and information outlined above to hand, then one of the brokers we work with could have a decision in principle in place for you by the end of the day, allowing 24 hours for complex applications. There are a number of benefits to getting an agreement in principle before you find a property: 1 You know you have the money for the purchase in the first place. 2 It gives the vendors and agent confidence that your offer is credible and that obtaining the finance to by the property is viable. <P> Typically, the approval in principle mortgage lenders issue lasts between 60 and 90 days, and an online mortgage promise should be exactly the same. However, it’s important to think of the agreement as a ‘live-system’. There are a number of benefits to getting an agreement in principle before you find a property: 1 You know you have the money for the purchase in the first place. 2 It gives the vendors and agent confidence that your offer is credible and that obtaining the finance to by the property is viable. <P> Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. A Mortgage Promise, also known as a 'Decision in Principle' or 'Agreement in Principle', is useful if you haven’t found a property you want to buy but would like to know how much you could borrow. All we need is a few personal details about you and anyone else who will be named on the mortgage. <P> If the interest rate on our $100,000 mortgage is 6%, the combined principal and interest monthly payment on a 30-year mortgage would be something like $599.55 ($500 interest + $99.55 principal). Once the size and term of the loan have been determined, there are four factors that play a role in the calculation of a mortgage payment. Those four items are principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI). As we look at these four factors, we'll consider a $100,000 mortgage as an example. <P> The answer to your question depends on your interest rate and the term of the mortgage. Let's say your mortgage loan is for 100K at 6% for 30 years. Your monthly payment will be applied just about equally to principle and interest at payment #222, that is, in about 18 1/2 years from now. On that same loan amount and term, but at an interest rate of 4.85%, the even split would occur at payment #189. That's 15 years, 9 months down the road. Hope this helps! <P> To get a mortgage in principle you have to go through the same motions as an actual mortgage. That is: Consider what type of mortgage do you want and then find a mortgage lender you feel can offer you the best deal. You could go through the phone book and call each mortgage lender. But the easiest way to do get an offer is to ask a mortgage broker to do it for you.

what is a blebectomy
|
<P> A lobectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove one of the lobes of the lungs. The procedure may be performed when an abnormality has been detected in a specific part of the lung. When only the affected lobe of the lung is removed, the remaining healthy tissue is spared to maintain adequate lung function. <P> A lobectomy is most often performed during a surgical procedure called a thoracotomy (surgical incision of the chest). Other lung surgery procedures that may be performed by thoracotomy include: Pneumonectomy. Removal of an entire lung when an abnormality or disease is detected throughout the entire lung. <P> Reasons for the procedure. A lobectomy may be performed when a lung abnormality or condition has been identified that requires surgical removal. A lobe may be removed to avoid spread of the disease-causing pathogen to the other lobes, as with tuberculosis or certain cancerous lung tumors. <P> Please try again later. This is an educational video demonstrating the Thoracoscopic Blebectomy for Spontaneous Pneumothorax by Prof. Arvind Kumar and Dr. Belal Bin Asaf, Centre for Chest Surgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India. <P> Overview. Bullectomy is the surgical removal of a bulla, which is an air pocket in the lung that is greater than one centimeter in diameter (across). Bullae tend to occur as a result of lung tissue destruction and diseases such as cancer and emphysema. <P> A blebectomy, or bullectomy, involves resecting (removing) a portion of lung that is non-functional (think of it like a bubble or cyst). Blebs or bullae are at risk for leak, causing pneumothorax (collapsed lung). When large, they may prevent the remaining lung from working efficiently.

in which geological period did amphibians first appear

<P> Life in the Tertiary Era On land, the age of the mammals was beginning. Rodents evolved, as well as gliding mammals and the early primates. Sharks and fish took over from marine reptiles. Towards the middle of this Era, the ancestors of elephants, horses, cattle, pigs, rhinos and deer appeared. Geological Time Periods. The time periods are very important to a palaeontologist. The table below is a very simple Geological Time Line. Click on the time period you wish to invisigate. <P> The Paleozoic Era, which ran from about 542 million years ago to 251 million years ago, was a time of great change on Earth. The era began with the breakup of one supercontinent and the formation of another. Plants became widespread. And the first vertebrate animals colonized land. This was the time when plants evolved, though they most likely did not yet have leaves or the vascular tissue that allows modern plants to siphon up water and nutrients. Those developments would appear in the Devonian Period, the next geological period of the Paleozoic. Ferns appeared, as did the first trees. At the same time, the first vertebrates were colonizing the <P> Hadean Time. Hadean time is not a geological period. No rocks on the Earth are this old-except for meteorites. During Hadean time, the Solar System was forming, probably within a large cloud of gas and dust around the sun, called an accretion disc. <P> The first reptiles evolved from amphibians, their first appearance was during the Carboniferous Period 359-299 million years ago. Land reptiles first appear during the Triassic period along with the first dinosaurs. <P> 6 billion years ago. No, the Earth is only 4.6 billion years old. Amphibians appeared on Earth during the late Devonian period in the Paleozoic Era about 365 million years ago. Hope that helps! <P> Life in the Devonian Period During this period there was a rapid evolution of fish, including sharks and rays, lobe finned fish and ray finned fish. Ammonities increased in population. Giant squid up to two meters long hunted the seas. Many arthropods including spiders and wingless insects invaded the land. Geological Time Periods.

In the process of doing so, different things happen and it becomes more and more of a complex plot. Throughout the play, we are introduced to many different foils. One of which is Laertes. <P> In addition to a protagonist, most stories have a character foil. A foil is a character whose values differ from those of the protagonist. Usually a foil experiences the same events as the protagonist, but since his values differ, so do his choices and behavior. A foil's main purpose is to show contrast to the protagonist. 1 The main character is called a protagonist. 2 A character foil is any character whose values contrast with the protagonist. 3 Because of the difference in values, foils make different choices. 4 Foils serve to show specific traits or characteristics of the protagonist or how their lives could have been different. <P> 1 A character foil is any character whose values contrast with the protagonist. 2 Because of the difference in values, foils make different choices. 3 Foils serve to show specific traits or characteristics of the protagonist or how their lives could have been different. 1 The main character is called a protagonist. 2 A character foil is any character whose values contrast with the protagonist. 3 Because of the difference in values, foils make different choices. 4 Foils serve to show specific traits or characteristics of the protagonist or how their lives could have been different. <P> Function of Foil. In fiction, a foil is important in the development of characters. The comparison of the contrasting traits of the characters helps the readers to not only understand their personalities but also to comprehend the importance of their roles in a work of literature. Example #4. Foil examples are also found in plays. We notice in William Shakespeare ’s play “ Julius Caesar ” a twofold foil. Cassius is a foil to Brutus and Brutus is a foil to Antony. <P> In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) in order to highlight particular qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. This is especially true in the case of metafiction and the story within a story motif. The word foil comes from the old practice of backing gems with foil in order to make them shine more brightly. A foil usually either differs dramatically or is extremely similar but with a key difference setting them apart. The concept of a foil is also more widely applied to any comparison that is made to contrast a difference between two things.

doctrine of privity common law
|
<P> The common law doctrine of privity of contract means that a contract cannot (as a general rule), confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person except the parties to it.. ... no stranger to the consideration can take advantage of a contract, although made for his benefit.. ... the doctrine of privity of contract provides that only a party to a contract has standing to sue to enforce it, even if the contract confers benefits on others in some fashion.. <P> English doctrine of privity of contract. The common law doctrine of privity of contract dictates that only persons who are parties to a contract are entitled to take action to enforce it. It means that only those who are parties to the contract or privy to the contract can sue or be sued on it. <P> THE DOCTRINE OF PRIVITY. The doctrine of privity means that a contract cannot, as a general rule, confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person except the parties to it. (GH Treitel, The Law of Contract). The common law reasoned that: 1. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The doctrine of privity in the common law of contract provides that a contract cannot confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person or agent except the parties to it. The premise is that only parties to contracts should be able to sue to enforce their rights or claim damages as such. Privity of contract occurs only between the parties to the contract, most commonly contract of sale of goods or services. Horizontal privity arises when the benefits from a contract are to be given to a third party. <P> Privity of contract. As a general common law rule, only parties to a contract will have rights or obligations under that contract. The doctrine of privity of contract applies only to contractual rights and obligations; if the contract involved gives rise to non-contractual rights and obligations then it is possible for these to be enforced against, or in favour of, those who are not parties to the contract. <P> Parliament is not bound by the common law, and as a result several acts of parliament unwittingly create valid exceptions to the doctrine of privity. Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, motorists are obliged to take out third party liability insurance. Critics also argued that with the large number of inconsistencies and exceptions with the doctrine of privity, it was bad law, as it provided no reliable rule; the way that the law works in theory is hugely different from the way it was enforced by the courts. <P> Privity of Contract refers to relationship between the parties to a contract which allows them to sue each other but prevents a third party from doing so. It is a doctrine of contract law that prevents any person from seeking the enforcement of a contract, or suing on its terms, unless they are a party to that contract. As a general rule, a contract cannot confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person except the parties to it. <P> Privity is a doctrine in English contract law that covers the relationship between parties to a contract and other parties or agents. At its most basic level, the rule is that a contract can neither give rights to, nor impose obligations on, anyone who is not a party to the original agreement, i.e. a third party. Critics also argued that with the large number of inconsistencies and exceptions with the doctrine of privity, it was bad law, as it provided no reliable rule; the way that the law works in theory is hugely different from the way it was enforced by the courts. <P> The doctrine of privity of contract is that a contract cannot confer rights or impose those obligations arising under it, on any person except the parties to it.

what does waxy luster mean
|
<P> Luster (or Lustre) is a description of the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal,rock or mineral-For example a metallic lustre or silky lustre. Luster refers to how a mineral reflects light. It is usually metallic, glassy, or dull. Luster can also used to describe different kinds of minerals. <P> Mineral Luster. Luster is a description of the way a mineral surface looks when light reflects off of the surface. Luster has two categories, metallic and nonmetallic <P> The term luster is used to describe the way a mineral surface looks when light is reflecting off of it. Luster is considered a basic descriptive parameter for minerals but varies somewhat even within a single crystal, which limits the term’s usefulness in categorizing gemstones and minerals. Talc is an example of a mineral with a pearly luster. The term resinous is used to denote minerals that resemble resin, such as sphalerite. Minerals with a greasy luster appear as though they have a layer of oil or fat coating them. An example of a mineral with a greasy luster is graphite. An adamantine luster refers to a brilliant, mirror-like luster, such as the luster seen in diamonds. If a gem has a silky luster, this means that the fibers of the mineral are arranged in parallel, similar to the look and texture of silk <P> Merge this question into. Split and merge into it. Answer by Faukerz. Confidence votes 276. The luster of a mineral is the way its surface reflects light. Most terms used to describe luster are self-explanatory: metallic, earthy, waxy, greasy, vitreous (glassy), adamantine (or brilliant, as in a faceted diamond).

how much water should a person drink to avoid dehydration
|
<P> 1 The Institute of Medicine recommends that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day. 2 I recommend that at least 8 cups of your daily fluid intake be pure water. 1 You'll need to consume at least 2.5 liters of H2O (about 10 cups) to replace the fluids lost through these normal bodily functions. 2 <P> 1 And altitudes greater than 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) also can affect how much water your body needs. 2 If dehydration occurs when you're exercising in hot weather, get into a shady area, recline, and start drinking water or a sports drink. 1 If dehydration occurs when you're exercising in hot weather, get into a shady area, recline, and start drinking water or a sports drink. 2 Young athletes should be encouraged to let their coaches know if they're having symptoms of dehydration. <P> On average, you should take a rehydration break about every 20 minutes. Most people would stay adequately hydrated by drinking 5 to 10 ounces of fluid every 20 minutes. But your exact need depends on things like how hard you're working, whether you are indoors or outdoors, and your age, gender, and weight. The average person gets about 20% of their water for the day from food. An apple is 84% water. Bananas are 74% water. Broccoli is 91% water. Even foods that you might not think of as moist -- a plain bagel (33% water), ground beef (56%), American cheese (39%) -- help. <P> To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in water such as fruits and vegetables. Letting thirst be your guide is an adequate daily guideline for most healthy people. 1 If dehydration occurs when you're exercising in hot weather, get into a shady area, recline, and start drinking water or a sports drink. 2 Young athletes should be encouraged to let their coaches know if they're having symptoms of dehydration. <P> Remember, this recommendation includes the fluids in your food. In general, for healthy, average people, 8 cups a day is a good goal. Talk to your doctor about how much water is good for you. People with some medical conditions may need to drink less than that. Others may need more than 8 cups a day <P> Producing lots of clear, dilute urine is a good indication that you're well hydrated. Before exercising, drink 1 to 3 cups (0.24 to 0.70 liters) of water. During the activity, replenish fluids at regular intervals and continue drinking water or other fluids after you're finished. 1 If dehydration occurs when you're exercising in hot weather, get into a shady area, recline, and start drinking water or a sports drink. 2 Young athletes should be encouraged to let their coaches know if they're having symptoms of dehydration. <P> Prevention. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in water such as fruits and vegetables. Letting thirst be your guide is an adequate daily guideline for most healthy people. Fluids can be obtained not just from water but also from other beverages and foods. 1 If dehydration occurs when you're exercising in hot weather, get into a shady area, recline, and start drinking water or a sports drink. 2 Young athletes should be encouraged to let their coaches know if they're having symptoms of dehydration. <P> Adequate Intake. The adequate intake is one type of dietary reference intake, or DRI, and for water, it is set at the amount needed for healthy individuals to prevent dehydration, and this level is 3.7 liters, or about 16 cups, for men, and 2.7 liters, or about 11 cups, for women. Drink plenty of water to control your weight and prevent dehydration. Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images. Dehydration is a dangerous condition that can even lead to death, but it is usually preventable if you drink enough water. <P> Your recommended fluid intake actually depends on how much food you consume. On average, people need 1-1.5ml of water for each calorie they consume. (3) For a person consuming 2000 calories this corresponds to 2-3 Litres of fluid per day. The amount you should drink will also depend on how much exercise you are doing. The NHS recommends that, in addition to your normal daily intake, you should consume up to 1 litre (or 2 pints) of fluid for each hour of exercise you carry out. (4). Water intake should also be increased during pregnanc <P> It turns out that 80 percent of our water intake is from drinking water and other beverages, and the other 20 percent is from food. Watermelon, a summertime favorite, is made up of more than 90 percent water. The same goes for high water content foods such as lettuce, broccoli and citrus fruit. Well, back in 2004 the Institute of Medicine issued new general fluid recommendations indicating women should drink 11 cups per day and men 15 cups. Before you hit the water trough, note that these amounts include the water in all food and beverages we consume.

what is venus greek goddess known for
|
<P> Venus was a major Roman goddess principally associated with love and beauty, the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. She was considered the ancestor of the Roman people as the mother of its legendary founder, Aeneas, and played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths. <P> Venus (/ˈviːnəs/ , Classical Latin: /ˈwɛnʊs/) is the Roman goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and desire. In Roman mythology, she was the mother of the Roman people through her son, Aeneas, who survived the fall of Troy and fled to Italy. The Romans adapted the myths and iconography of her Greek counterpart Aphrodite for Roman art and Latin literature. In the later classical tradition of the West, Venus becomes one of the most widely referenced deities of Greco-Roman mythology as the embodiment of love and sexuality. <P> Aphrodite (known as Venus in Roman mythology) was the goddess of love and beauty in Greek Mythology. Her symbol is the dove. She was married to Hephaestus, the blacksmith god, … though she often has affairs. Her son was Eros, in Roman mythology named Cupid. She has two different stories about her birth. Although she is married to Hephaestus she prefers Ares. In fact cupid is known to be a son of Aphrodite and Ares. Aphrodite was best known for being the goddess of beauty and love. She is also known as Venus in Roman myths. <P> Worship of Aphrodite continued throughout the Roman period. Known as Venus, she came to symbolize Rome's imperial power. Like her Greek counterpart Aphrodite, Venus was intimately associated with love and beauty, yet other elements were distinctive to the Roman goddess. Venus's first temples were erected in Rome during the 200s B.C. to solicit her assistance in battles, and individual leaders later allied themselves with the deity. <P> In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond the Greek Aphrodite; she was a goddess of victory, fertility, and even prostitution. According to Hesiod 's Theogony, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Greek Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranus) and his blood fell to the sea. <P> Aphrodite (/aefrəˈdaɪti/ æfrəˈdaɪti-af-Rə-dy; Tee: GREEK) ἀφροδίτη is The greek goddess of, love, beauty, pleasure and.

The planet is so named probably because it is the brightest of the planets known to the ancients. (With a few exceptions, the surface features on Venus are named for female figures.). <P> Aphrodite was the goddess of love. The Romans called her Venus (hence the famous armless statue known as the Venus de Milo). Aphrodite lived on Mount Olympus with the other supreme deities and was married to the homely craftsman-god, Hephaestus.

where does the latin language originate from
|
<P> The Italic family of the centum branch of Indo-European languages is where Latin finds a home, among a multitude of languages and dialects. Some of the modern Romance languages that owe their origin to Latin are French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. English, however, is often mistaken for a Romance language by beginning Latin students because of the huge number of words in English with direct and indirect Latin origins. <P> Languages with roots in the Latin language are known as Romance languages. French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and Romansh are all the Romance Languages with offic … ial status. Others include Sardinian, Catalan and Sicilian. <P> Latin was originally spoken in Latium, Italy. Through the power of the Roman Republic, it became the dominant language, initially in Italy and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. <P> Latin came to be spoken originally in the province/country of Latium (modern Lazio), hence the name Latin.. It is one of several languages that belong to the Italic branch of the Indo-European family languages. <P> Latin is the language that was originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. It gained great importance as the formal language of the Roman Empire. All Romance languages are descended from Latin, and many words based on Latin are found in other modern languages such as English. <P> Vulgar Latin developed into the Romance languages, such as French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian. Latin and French have contributed many words to the English language. Latin and Greek roots are used in theology, biology, and medicine. <P> When the Visigoths took over the region called Hispania, Latin remained the dominant and official language of the region. This continued until the Moors, an Arabic-speaking group, conquered the region. Arabic became the dominant language, except for in certain regions dominated by the Christians. <P> Latin was used as the language of international communication, scholarship, and science until well into the 18th century, when it began to be supplanted by vernaculars. Ecclesiastical Latin remains the official language of the Holy See and the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. <P> Latin was the language of the area known as Latium (modern Lazio), and Rome was one of the towns of Latium. The earliest known inscriptions in Latin date from the 6th century BC and were written using an alphabet adapted from the Etruscan alphabet.

cost breakdown of solar installation
|
<P> Preliminary DOE analysis on required component costs to reach a $1/watt installed PV system implies the following breakdown: 50 cents/watt for the module, 40 cents/watt for the balance‐of‐system and installation, and 10 cents/watt for the power electronics. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a $1/watt installed photovoltaic solar energy system – equivalent to 5‐6 cents/kWh – would make solar without additional subsidies competitive with the wholesale rate of electricity, nearly everywhere in the US. <P> Solar Cost Terminology. Cost per Watt: It is common in the industry for companies and consumers to calculate the cost of solar installation by dividing the turnkey cost of installation by the size of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system. For example, a 4 kilowatt system that costs $13,200 would be $3.30/watt. String inverters usually have a 10 year warranty that is extendable to 25 years. The cost to replace the inverter should be considered when calculating the return-on-investment of the solar photovoltaic system. <P> This figure is only for a contractor’s solar installation service. For a typical 5,000 watt system this would be $5,000. Money from this figure goes towards an installer’s supply chain costs, labor, overhead, and profit margin. These numbers are, of course, averages. Some installers charge less, some more. As stated in the cost of solar page, the total cost of an installed solar panel system is $3.50 per watt, on average. So installation services are about one third of the total cost for someone who wants to go solar. <P> Solar Inverter Costs. Solar Inverters cost around 50c/watt for small buyers of solar systems but can cost lower for large kilowatt inverter sizes and for scale buyers.Solar Inverters are a crucial component of a solar system and make up around 10% of the solar system costs.Here is a list of major solar inverter brands. These are the costs paid to the installers/electricians to connect solar panel systems and the balance of systems (BOS) to the grid or the customer installation.Solar Installations costs can vary between 10-20% of the total costs. Balance of Systems (BOS). <P> Solar Panels Cost – $109,376. Solar panels are the most expensive part of a solar system, making up: 1 44% to 52% of the total cost. 2 Priced by $/Watt, but depends on the efficiency of the solar cells. 3 Generally come with a 20+ year warranty <P> This currently adds about $1.48/watt to the cost of an installed system. The $1/watt goal requires a reduction to about $0.44/watt (Table 1). It will probably be necessary to cut installation labor costs to approximately 5 cents/watt and mounting and racking hardware must reduce to about 20 cents/watt. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a $1/watt installed photovoltaic solar energy system – equivalent to 5‐6 cents/kWh – would make solar without additional subsidies competitive with the wholesale rate of electricity, nearly everywhere in the US. <P> Cost of Solar Inverter – $21,876. The 2nd largest cost of a solar system is the solar inverter. 1 44% to 52% of the total cost. 2 6% and 7% of the total capital investment. 3 $3,000 to $20,000 (Approximately $850 p/W). 4 10-year lifespan. 5 Replaced at least once during the life of the panels. Solar panels are the most expensive part of a solar system, making up: 1 44% to 52% of the total cost. 2 Priced by $/Watt, but depends on the efficiency of the solar cells. <P> A solar energy system priced at $1/Watt would unlock the potential of the sun to provide low‐cost, clean limitless electricity to the U.S. and the rest of the world, at the same cost of coal‐based generation. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a $1/watt installed photovoltaic solar energy system – equivalent to 5‐6 cents/kWh – would make solar without additional subsidies competitive with the wholesale rate of electricity, nearly everywhere in the US. <P> Cost Of Solar Installation. The cost of solar installation has been and will continue to be a significant part of the total overall cost for a homeowner switching to solar power. The price that a typical homeowner has paid to get a non-leased, fair-priced solar panel system installed is approximately $1.00 per watt. These numbers are, of course, averages. Some installers charge less, some more. As stated in the cost of solar page, the total cost of an installed solar panel system is $3.50 per watt, on average. So installation services are about one third of the total cost for someone who wants to go solar.

cost of mri scan for a cat
|
<P> This is a good pricing guide for CT scan machines. A vanilla 4-slice CT scanner costs $85,000 to $150,000. A 16-slice scanner costs $145,000 to $225,000 and the top-of-the-line 64-slice CTs can cost up to $450,000. The machines may typically need annual maintenance, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. 1 MRI cannot be done on patients who are claustrophobic as the patient has to remain inside the noisy machine for about 20-45 minutes. 2 CT scan is cheaper than an MRI. 3 A CT scan costs $1,200 to $3,200 while an MRI can cost up to $4,000. <P> MRI scans for dogs at Companion MRI are typically $1,750 for one scan site. If an additional anatomical MRI scan site is needed, the cost will be $250 for the additional site. • $1,750 for one scan site. • $250 for additional scan sites. • $100 for emergency or STAT reads of the exam by the radiologist. Please call us at (860) 586-8610 if you have any questions or concerns about how much a dog MRI costs. <P> For example, the cost of a CT scanner can be as low as $65,000 for a refurbished one that produces only small images quickly. A larger and brand new CT scanner can run as high as $2.5 million. Prices are slightly higher for MRI machines, running up to about $3 million for a new machine. Ultrasound machines are much cheaper at $10,000-$200,000, depending on brand and type. For hospitals and imaging centers, the base price for machines is just the beginning. At $2,600 on average for an MRI and $1,100 on average for an ultrasound, even one unnecessary test is too many for folks on a budget, unless your insurance or Medicare covers the test. <P> MRI scans for cats at Companion MRI are typically $1,750 for one scan site. If an additional anatomical MRI scan site is needed, the cost will be $250 for the additional site. To do the additional anatomical site while the cat is under anesthesia is the ideal time to get the secondary site for the nominal fee of $250. To summarize, the cat MRI cost will be as follows: 1 $1,750 for one scan site. 2 $250 for additional scan sites. 3 $100 for emergency or STAT reads of the exam by the radiologist <P> Q. How much money could I save by visiting a lower-cost imaging provider? A. In some areas, the cost for an MRI or CT scan can vary by more than $1,000. If, for example, your plan requires you to pay a 20% coinsurance, and you use a provider that charges $1,000 less, you could save at least $200 out of pocket. The cost of advanced imaging procedures has increased in recent years, contributing to higher medical costs. For example, the cost for MRIs and CT scans can vary from $350 to $2,000, depending on the region where you live and the facility where a procedure is performed. <P> Prices are slightly higher for MRI machines, running up to about $3 million for a new machine. Ultrasound machines are much cheaper at $10,000-$200,000, depending on brand and type. For hospitals and imaging centers, the base price for machines is just the beginning. <P> CT Scan costs range from $1,200 to $3,200; they usually cost less than MRIs (about half the price of MRI). MRI costs range from $1,200 to $4,000 (with contrast), which is usually more expensive than CT scans and X-rays, and most examining methods. Time taken for complete scan. Usually completed within 5 minutes. 1 MRI cannot be done on patients who are claustrophobic as the patient has to remain inside the noisy machine for about 20-45 minutes. 2 CT scan is cheaper than an MRI. 3 A CT scan costs $1,200 to $3,200 while an MRI can cost up to $4,000. <P> 1 The CAT scan cost can range from $300-$2,500 depending on many factors such as the body part being examined, use of dye/contrast, and the urgency of procedure. 2 A lower end scan that doesn’t use a dye is going to cost less than a full scan that includes multiple images and dye.

what is c-reactive protein
|
<P> C-reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped), pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose levels rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells. CRP is synthesized by the liver in response to factors released by macrophages and fat cells (adipocytes). It is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. It is not related to C-peptide (insulin) or protein C (blood coagulation). C-reactive protein was the first pattern recognition receptor (PRR) to be identified <P> C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver and found in the blood. C-reactive protein is not normally found in the blood of healthy people. It appears after an injury, infection, or inflammation and disappears when the injury heals or the infection or inflammation goes away. C-reactive protein. n. An antibody found in the blood in certain acute and chronic conditions including infections and cancers. It is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation and, therefore, not diagnostic of any one disease. <P> Guide. A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the amount of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and many long-term diseases. But a CRP test cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it. Other tests are needed to find the cause and location of the inflammation. <P> C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Other names for CRP are high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), or ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP). A high level of CRP in the blood is a sign that there may be an inflammatory process occurring in the body. <P> C-reactive Protein (CRP) Overview. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. Therefore, its level in the blood increases if there is any inflammation in the body. C-reactive protein, along with other markers of inflammation (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR) are also sometimes referred to as acute phase reactants. <P> A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, which is more sensitive than a standard test, also can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can eventually lead to a heart attack. The level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which can be measured in your blood, increases when there's inflammation in your body. Your doctor may check your C-reactive protein level treatment for infections or for other medical conditions <P> C-reactive protein C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein your liver produces as part of your body's response to injury or infection (inflammatory response). CRP is a sign of inflammation somewhere in the body. However, CRP ... <P> C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant, a protein made by the liver and released into the blood within a few hours after tissue injury, the start of an infection, or other cause of inflammation.

<P> Khufu’s son, Khafre (also known as Chephren). His pyramid, on a nearby site at Giza, appears taller than his father’s, but this is an illu¬sion; it is built on higher ground and was in fact, origi¬nally at 447 .5 feet (136.4 m), 33.5 feet (10.2 m) shorter than the Great Pyramid. Khufu – 2575-2566 BC. The largest of the three pyramids at Giza, known as the Great Pyramid, is truly an astonishing work of engineering. It was built over a twenty year period. <P> Introduction. Archaeologists believe Egypt’s large pyramids are the work of the Old Kingdom society that rose to prominence in the Nile Valley after 3000 B.C. Historical analysis tells us that the Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids in a span of 85 years between 2589 and 2504 BC. <P> Most Ancient Egyptian pyramids were built as tombs for Pharaohs and their families. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. The first Egyptian pyramid is believed to be the Pyramid of Djoser, it was built in Saqqara around 4650 years ago (2640 BC). Saqqara is a huge ancient burial ground built near the Egyptian city of Memphis. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. Learn about the first pyramid built in Egypt, the Great Pyramid of Giza, important burial sites such as Saqqara, what Egyptians put in burial tombs, where the famous mask of Tutankhamun was discovered and much more. Read on and have fun learning about Ancient Egyptian pyramids. <P> The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt. The three largest and best-preserved of these were built at Giza at the beginning of the Old Kingdom. The most well-known of these pyramids was built for the pharaoh Khufu. It is known as the 'Great Pyramid'. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdomto the end of the Middle Kingdom. There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt. The three largest and best-preserved of these were built at Giza <P> Like other pyramids, Khufu’s is surrounded by rows of mastabas, where relatives or officials of the king were buried to accompany and support him in the afterlife. The middle pyramid at Giza was built for Khufu’s son Khafre (2558-2532 B.C). It was built for Khufu (Cheops, in Greek), Sneferu’s successor and the second of the eight kings of the fourth dynasty. Though Khufu reigned for 23 years (2589-2566 B.C.), relatively little is known of his reign beyond the grandeur of his pyramid. <P> The largest and most well-known pyramids in Egypt are the Pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Giza designed for Pharaoh Khufu. For centuries, people have theorized how the great pyramids were built. <P> The Giza pyramids In the fourth dynasty, three large stone pyramids were built at Giza. The design of these pyramids was based on the pyramids that had been built before. These are the largest and sturdiest pyramids that were ever built in ancient Egypt. The first and largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops). Finally, the third largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Menkaure (also known as Mycerinus). The ancient Egyptians continued to build pyramids for their pharaohs after the Giza pyramids were built. <P> The structure is also the third largest pyramid in Egypt – after the pyramids of Khufu and Khafre at Giza. Also at Dahshur is the pyramid known as the Black Pyramid of Amenemhet III, as well as a number of small, mostly ruined subsidiary pyramids. As of November 2008, there are sources citing both 118 and 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. <P> The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence. As of November 2008, there are sources citing both 118 and 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.

what is ceo succession
|
<P> Readers will learn how to manage the succession process to achieve the best possible outcomes. When properly planned and thoughtfully executed, CEO succession offers a company far more than just the transitioning of its top leader. It enables organizations to envision new opportunities for growth, and realign and strengthen processes and systems throughout the enterprise. <P> Managing the CEO succession process is a board’s ultimate responsibility. The cost of shortchanging this process is high, but investing the requisite time and attention brings an equally high reward: maintaining momentum as the company transitions from one leader to the next. CEO succession planning always has been a central focus of our CEO/Board Services Practice. Our ongoing work with CEOs and boards spans sectors and global regions and includes research and trends analysis in specialized situations, such as CEO succession in family-controlled firms. <P> News Content. In this issue, Clarke Murphy and the CEO/Board Services Practice set forth the specific elements and timeline of a successful CEO succession plan, as well as the steps necessary to ensure a smooth transition. The transition from one CEO to another is a critical moment in a company’s history. A smooth transition is essential to maintain the confidence of investors, business partners, customer and employees, and provides the incoming CEO with a solid platform from which to move the company forward. Succession planning is usually directed by the governance or compensation committees, or occasionally a special ad hoc committee. The current CEO’s involvement varies (depending on whether the succession is planned or unexpected) with primary responsibility being the development of internal candidates. <P> Myth #5: Boards Know how to evaluate ceo talent Another myth of CEO succession is that boards know how to evaluate CEO talent. In practice, boards are not always adept at evaluating the cur-rent CEO or potential successors. Succession is a process not an event, and irrespec-tive of the specific model that the board adopts, it is important that the process is managed well. Myth #3: the ceo should pIcK a successor Succession planning involves two distinct activities. <P> CEO Succession Planning. An organization’s ability to place the right leader at the top has never been more important to its performance and sustainability. <P> CEO vacancies can be planned or unplanned; in either scenario, by the time a succession plan is needed it is far too late to start building one. Because of this, it is the responsibility of the board to make succession planning a priority, even in the face of more immediate and tangible issues. Succession planning is usually directed by the governance or compensation committees, or occasionally a special ad hoc committee. The current CEO’s involvement varies (depending on whether the succession is planned or unexpected) with primary responsibility being the development of internal candidates. <P> CEO succession refers to the process by which boards of directors ensure that their organization has the ability to sustain excellence in CEO leadership over time, with transitions from one leader to the next. CEO succession is one of key functions of a board of directors. Changing the head of an enterprise impacts company culture, board/CEO relations, and perceptions from multiple constituencies inside and outside the business. The disruption that occurs can impact performance in a positive, neutral or negative manner. There are six key outcomes of an effective CEO succession: [1]. 1 A board that is aligned on the strategy of the company and expectations of the new CEO. 2 An effective CEO in place with sufficient candidates in the pipeline (both internal and external). 3 Well-managed and minimized risks associated with CEO transition. <P> 3. Recognize when it’s time to step back from the process. The CEO is a very important player in CEO succession planning, both in an of-counsel role to the board or the committee responsible for the process and in overseeing the company’s overall management succession. Finally, when C-suite succession is an established process — rather than a response to an imminent transition — it can reduce the chances that succession planning will culminate in an intense and potentially disruptive horse race or the need for a CEO search.
