what is proliferative vitreoretinopathy stages | <P> PVR occurs in about 8–10% of patients undergoing primary retinal detachment surgery and prevents the successful surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PVR can be treated with surgery to reattach the detached retina but the visual outcome of the surgery is very poor. PVR was originally referred to as massive vitreous retraction and then as massive periretinal proliferation. The name Proliferative vitreo retinopathy was provided in 1989 by the Silicone Oil Study group. A number of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGFβ 2), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and interleukins have been shown to play a role in PVR progression. <P> PVR is strictly defined as a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that is characterized by the formation of membranes on both surfaces of the detached retina and on the posterior surface of the detached vitreous gel. It is manifest by the formation of fibrocellular membranes on the retinal and posterior hyaloid surfaces. Most cells in PVR membranes originate from adjacent retina and the displaced cells synthesize much of the membrane matrix. The membranes have some features in common with healing wounds. <P> Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR) occurs when a scar forms under or on the retina after retinal detachment, preventing the retina from healing and falling back into place. Risk factors for Proliferative vitreoretinopathy PVR include large retina tears or retinal detachment that is not treated early. Bleeding within the eye, increased inflammation from trauma and previous retinal detachment operations also increase the risk. <P> diabetic retinopathy retinal manifestations of diabetes mellitus, including microaneurysms and punctate exudates. There are two major forms of diabetic retinopathy, nonproliferative and proliferative. The nonproliferative form is characterized by dilation of the retinal veins and microaneurysms which may leak blood cells and/or plasma, causing internal hemorrhaging or edema in the retina. <P> Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a disease that develops as a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. A number of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGFβ 2), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and interleukins have been shown to play a role in PVR progression. <P> Introduction. In 1983, the Retina Society Terminology Committee published a landmark paper in which the term proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) was proposed for a condition that had been recognized as the major cause of failure of retinal detachment surgery. It is manifest by the formation of fibrocellular membranes on the retinal and posterior hyaloid surfaces. Most cells in PVR membranes originate from adjacent retina and the displaced cells synthesize much of the membrane matrix. The membranes have some features in common with healing wounds. <P> Norman D. Radtke, MD. Proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) is the most common cause of failed repair of a retinal detachment and occurs when scar tissue creates traction on the retina. PVR is characterized by proliferation of retinal pigment epithelial cells, glial cells, and inflammatory cells on the surface of the retina and within the vitreous gel. Traction is the key feature in the pathogenesis of PVR. The location, extent and severity of traction vary substantially. <P> Proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most common complication of a retinal detachment (RD), and occurs in approximately 8-10% of patients who develop an RD. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy, despite the long name, is simply scar tissue formation within the eye. <P> One of the commonest causes of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is failed repair of retinal detachment. When there is a hole in the retina, cells that normally reside under the retina enter the eyeball and settle on the inner layer of the eye on top of the retina. Risk factors for Proliferative vitreoretinopathy PVR include large retina tears or retinal detachment that is not treated early. Bleeding within the eye, increased inflammation from trauma and previous retinal detachment operations also increase the risk. | It is a disease that develops as a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

differences between arteries and veins gcse | <P> Veins and arteries are both types of blood vessels but arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body while veins carry blood to the heart from the rest of the body. All arteries except the pulmonary and umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood while all veins carry deoxygenated blood. Arteries, on the other hand, are classified as systemic (part of the cardiovascular system), pulmonary (carry blood to the lungs), aorta and arterioles. Arteries carry bright red blood as it is oxygenated while veins have the dark red blood. Arteries progressively divide into smaller tubes unlike veins. <P> Arteries carry oxygenated blood (with the exception of the pulmonary artery and umbilical artery). Veins carry deoxygenated blood (with the exception of pulmonary veins and umbilical vein). Types of arteries and veins. There are two types of arteries in the body: Pulmonary and systemic. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart, to the lungs, for purification while the systemic arteries form a network of arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of the body. <P> There are two types of blood vessels in the circulatory system of the body: arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body and veins that carry blood towards the heart for purification. Types of arteries and veins. There are two types of arteries in the body: Pulmonary and systemic. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart, to the lungs, for purification while the systemic arteries form a network of arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of the body. <P> Arteries carry blood (with oxygen) from your heart out to your body, while veins carry blood (without oxygen) from your body to your heart. Arteries are strong, flexible blood vessels that are able to expand (get bigger) and contract (get smaller). They expand as your heart beats, and contract between heartbeats. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. Your body also contains other, smaller blood vessels. Here is how blood travels in vessels through the body: <P> Veins. Veins carry blood back to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood away from the body. The blood returning from the body is at a much lower pressure than that being pumped from the heart. Therefore veins do not have to be as strong as arteries. Veins are wider than arteries and have much thinner walls. Look at the image below to see the main difference between arteries and veins. <P> In conclusion, the arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and due to the high pressure of this blood the arteries have thick wall, which contain many muscle fibres. The veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart and because blood is of a lower pressure, have thinner walls consisting of less muscle fibres. I intend to explore the structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries. When an artery branches into smaller and smaller vessels, eventually the blood vessel is too small to see with the naked eye. At that point, it is called an arteriole. Likewise, a venule is a microscopic vein. <P> The structural differences between arteries and veins are all based in their relationship to the heart. Since arteries receive blood from the heart, the blood they receive is under a lot of pressure. I intend to explore the structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries. When an artery branches into smaller and smaller vessels, eventually the blood vessel is too small to see with the naked eye. At that point, it is called an arteriole. Likewise, a venule is a microscopic vein. <P> Arteries. All blood vessels leading from the heart are called arteries or the blood vessels which carry blood from the heart to various body organs are called arteries. All arteries carry oxygenated blood (pure blood) except pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood. In closed circulatory system blood is circulated through closed vessels such as arteries, veins and capillaries. 1. Vessels which carry blood from the heart to various body parts. 2. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart except pulmonary artery. <P> The chief difference between arteries and veins is the job that they do. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. Your body also contains other, smaller blood vessels. Here is how blood travels in vessels through the body: | Veins carry blood back to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood away from the body.

at what age should cats get spayed | <P> Cats can be spayed or neutered at 4 months. By this age, cats should have received their immunizations and been treated for common parasites, thus making them good candidates for elective procedures. Declawing can be done as early as 3 months of age. <P> However a cat can be safely spayed or neutered at any age, so even older adopted cats should have this procedure. Some rescue organizations participate in a “catch and release” program where homeless cats are captured, neutered or spayed and released. <P> Although there are always variations, cats can have their first heat as early as 4 months old, and dogs can have their first heat as early as 5 to 6 months old; and if they can come into heat, they can get pregnant! With 50% of litters being accidents, you can see how unwanted litters can add up quickly. <P> All cats and kittens should be either spayed or neutered unless the owner is in the business of raising purebred cats. The days of letting the family cat have a litter of kittens so that kids could observe the miracle of birth are long gone. <P> Spaying Ages. While spaying is traditionally recommended for kitties between 4 and 6 months of age, spaying as young as 8 weeks old is considered safe, according to Cat Channel. Many animal shelters actually spay kitties prior to adopting them out at this age. <P> Today some vets will spay/neuter at eight weeks of age, while other adhere to the old practice of six months of age. The average age at which pets are spayed or neutered is four months. Adolescent cats and dogs as young as five months can get pregnant. <P> Spaying (ovario-hysterectomy) The surgical removal of the reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes) of a female animal. Puppies and kittens of both sexes should be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. Female cats can go into estrus ('heat') at as young as 4 months. More and more veterinarians are performing early-age spay/ neuter procedures on animals as young as 8 weeks of age, to ensure the animal will never be at risk of accidental pregnancy or able to impregnate. <P> For many years, veterinarians were taught that cats and dogs had to be a year old to be spayed or neutered. Later, they were taught that six months was appropriate. Today we know that kittens and pups can be spayed or neutered at the age of two months (or two pounds). | 4 and 6 months of age |
what does the immune system do | <P> The immune system is a system of many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue. The main response of the immune system to tumors is to destroy the abnormal cells using killer T cells, sometimes with the assistance of helper T cells. Tumor antigens are presented on MHC class I molecules in a similar way to viral antigens. This allows killer T cells to recognize the tumor cell as abnormal. <P> The immune system is a collection of billions of cells that travel through the bloodstream. They move in and out of tissues and organs, defending the body against foreign bodies (antigens), such as bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells. There are two types of lymphocytes : <P> The immune system protects the body against illness and infection caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. It is really a collection of reactions and responses that the body makes to damaged cells or infection. The bone marrow makes blood cells that help to fight infection. Weakening of the immune system happens most often in leukaemia or lymphoma. But it can happen with other cancers too. The cancer in the bone marrow stops the bone marrow making so many blood cells. <P> Immune System The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from infection. Although scientists have learned much about the immune system, they continue to study how the body targets invading microbes, infected cells, and tumors while ignoring healthy tissues. <P> Inside your body there is an amazing protection mechanism called the immune system. It is designed to defend you against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that would love to invade your body. To understand the power of the immune system, all that you have to do is look at what happens to anything once it dies. <P> Your immune system is the network of cells and tissues throughout your body that work together to defend you from invasion and infection. You can think of it as having two parts: the acquired and the innate immune systems. The acquired (or adaptive) immune system develops as a person grows. <P> The immune system is made up of a complex and vital network of cells and organs that protect the body from infection. Click Image to Enlarge. The organs involved with the immune system are called the lymphoid organs. They affect growth, development, and the release of lymphocytes (a certain type of white blood cell). The immune system keeps infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body. It also destroys any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body. <P> Zinc. Zinc is a trace element essential for cells of the immune system, and zinc deficiency affects the ability of T cells and other immune cells to function as they should. Caution: While it's important to have sufficient zinc in your diet (15–25 mg per day), too much zinc can inhibit the function of the immune system. The idea of boosting your immunity is enticing, but the ability to do so has proved elusive for several reasons. The immune system is precisely that — a system, not a single entity. To function well, it requires balance and harmony. <P> When the immune system does not function properly, a number of diseases can occur. Allergies and hypersensitivity to certain substances are considered immune system disorders. In addition, the immune system plays a role in the rejection process of transplanted organs or tissue. The immune system keeps infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body. It also destroys any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body. <P> What the immune system does. The immune system protects the body against illness and infection caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. It is really a collection of reactions and responses that the body makes to damaged cells or infection. So it is sometimes called the immune response.

I used to take a typical 21 active pill BC, my doctor simply had me not take the sugar pills. I would have 1 period a year (just to clean everything out). There is actually now a pill out there that has no sugar pills, its called Lybrel. Is there a pill yet to stop your period? Birth control im talking about, because everyone has always told me about the sugar pills in the cycle of birth control pill. <P> If you don't get a period for several months, you may have what's known as post-pill amenorrhea. The pill prevents your body from making hormones involved in ovulation and menstruation. When you stop taking the pill, it can take some time for your body to return to normal production of these hormones. But it's possible to prevent your period with continuous use of any birth control pill. This means skipping the placebo pills and starting right away on a new pack. Continuous use of your birth control pills works best if you're taking a monophasic pill — with the same hormone dose in the three weeks of active pills. <P> Report Abuse. I've never heard of any pills that stop your period once it has started, but the contraceptive pill or injection can regulate periods. I think most combined contraceptive pills now mean that you take them for 21 days, then have a 7 day break. This is when your period will start. If I can remember right, you take it a few days before your period is due and it stops your period. Although you have to carry on taking it for the duration of your hol. Once you're back from you're hol...stop...and your period will start. So there is an answer besides the pill. Try it. | Yes,but when you stop taking it, you will get your period within 2 to 3 days. |

what does pharmaceutical industry comprises of | <P> Is the FDA too cozy with the industry it regulates? Critics of the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act argue that industry funding of the drug review and approval process gives pharmaceutical companies, and their lobbying arm, PhRMA, too much influence. So the attitude by the leaders there [is], avoid conflict -- and avoiding conflict means doing what the industry wants. A third way in which the industry's influence has been allowed to grow considerably is the absence of congressional oversight. <P> Ireland is one of the leading locations for the pharmaceutical industry in Europe. For a country of just 4.5 million people, Ireland punches well above its weight and is undoubtedly a world player in pharmaceutical production. The pharmaceutical industry in Ireland comprises a mix of international and local companies. Approximately 120 overseas companies have plants in Ireland including 9 of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The pharmaceutical industry is relatively new to the Irish economy <P> The modern pharmaceutical industry traces its roots to two sources. The first of these were local apothecaries that expanded from their traditional role distributing botanical drugs such as morphine and quinine to wholesale manufacture in the mid 1800s. IMS Health publishes an analysis of trends expected in the pharmaceutical industry in 2007, including increasing profits in most sectors despite loss of some patents, and new 'blockbuster' drugs on the horizon. <P> Working with plant-and chemical-based compounds, pharmaceutical companies work their mojo to make medicines that cure some diseases, manage others, and protect us from infection in the first place. Big Pharma includes a handful of major companies that dominate the industry. While many of these firms also produce animal health products, livestock feed supplements, vitamins, and a host of other goods, this profile will focus solely on their drug products used to treat human illness. <P> The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals for use as medications.

With exports of $3.9 billion in 2012-13, pharmaceuticals were one of Australia’s major manufactured exports. <P> Specialty drugs, a recent classification of pharmaceuticals, are high-cost drugs that are often biologics. Gene-based and cellular biologics, for example, often are at the forefront of biomedical research, and may be used to treat a variety of medical conditions for which no other treatments are available. A biopharmaceutical, also known as a biologic medical product or biologic, is any medicinal product manufactured in, extracted from, or semisynthesized from biological sources. <P> The output of the pharmaceutical industry in 1965 was 2.8 times greater than in 1958. During the eighth five year plan (1966–70) industry output increased by a factor of 1.8, and more than 200 new drugs went into production. There was no pharmaceutical industry in the European socialist countries before World War II, other than small semicottage enterprises in Hungary and Czechoslovakia that manufactured alkaloids and packaged imported drugs. <P> In the UK, for example, there was widespread anger when the industry regulator predicted energy companies' profit margins would grow from 4% to 8% this year. Last year, five pharmaceutical companies made a profit margin of 20% or more-Pfizer, Hoffmann-La Roche, AbbVie, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Eli Lilly. <P> The pharmaceutical industry's influence gets exerted in a number of ways.

mechanisms of pathogenic harm fungi | <P> This is a carefully edited and well-produced reference work that deserves to be widely available in laboratories exploring the molecular biology and pathogenicity mechanisms of human pathogenic fungi from IMA Fungus (2014) 5: 56-57. a carefully edited and well-produced reference work. IMA Fungus. <P> Many leaf-spotting fungi produce toxins that kill host cells and this often produces a lesion surrounded by a yellow halo (Fig. 10). If enough of the leaf surface is killed, or if the infected leaves drop prematurely, the plant's ability to produce photosynthates is severely impaired. <P> Fungi as Human Pathogens. Fungi that are pathogens are usually plant pathogenic Fungi. There are comparatively few species that are pathogenic to animals, especially mammals. According to Hawksworth (1992), there are approximate a little 1.5 million described species of fungi. <P> Fungi are an important group of plant pathogens—most plant diseases are caused by fungi—but fewer than 10% of all known fungi can colonize living plants (Knogge, 1996). Plant pathogenic fungi represent a relatively small subset of those fungi that are associated with plants. <P> Pathogens are organisms organisms: living entities-ie animals, plants or microorganisms. that cause disease. They include microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. <P> In contrast to most of the human pathogenic fungi described in this book, pathogenic species of the genus Candida do not normally exist in ecological niches such as soil or compost. Instead, these fungi have evolved in close association with warm-blooded animals, such as humans. <P> In the soil (22-25°C), these fungi grow as filamentous mold that produce infectious conidia. Following the disruption of soil by activities such as construction, aerosolized conidia and mold fragments are inhaled into the lungs of a host (37°C) and convert into pathogenic yeast. <P> Protozoa. Protozoa are single-celled organisms. Food contaminated with protozoa can cause infections such as amoebic dysentery, of which severe diarrhoea is a symptom. Some protozoa are parasites. These organisms live on, or inside, another organism and cause it harm. Malaria is a disease caused by protozoa that live in the blood. | Fungi are an important group of plant pathogens most plant diseases are caused by fungi but fewer than 10% of all known fungi can colonize living plants (Knogge, 1996). |

how long do hard boiled eggs stay good for | <P> Depending on how cooked you like your hard boiled eggs, the eggs should be done perfectly in 10-12 minutes. That said, depending on your altitude, the shape of the pan, the size of the eggs, the ratio of water to eggs, it can take a few minutes more. <P> You can extend the answer to how long do hard boiled eggs last by storing them in your fridge (refrigerator) immediately after preparation or use. Once prepared, hard boiled eggs should be stored in a tightly closed container in the fridge to keep out moisture and other contaminants. <P> Header image: CHOW. Hard-boiled eggs last about a week if they are kept in their shells, and should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking, says the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. <P> Hard boiled eggs last about 7 days, but can spoil quickly if not handled properly. Hard boiled eggs are fresh whole eggs that have been boiled for 10 minutes. Chicken eggs are the most common choice for this process. <P> Hard-boiled eggs are best if used within a week. Do not freeze them. Even with its natural (but easily cracked) calcium-carbonate container, a hard-cooked egg is a perishable food, so it shouldn't be kept at room temperature for more than two hours. If kept in an unbroken shell and in the refrigerator about a week. <P> Refrigerate leftover hard-cooked eggs in the shell within two hours of cooking them and they should keep well for over one to one and a half weeks. It's best to place them in a container or plastic bag so they don't absorb refrigerator smells and flavors. <P> Interestingly, hard-boiled eggs do not keep nearly as long as raw eggs, which can last three to five weeks in the refrigerator. There is a good reason for this. When a hen lays an egg, it puts a naturally protective coating on the outside of the shell. <P> Raw eggs keep a lot longer.

The theory of symbiogenesis (Greek: σύν syn together, βίωσις biosis living, and γένεσις genesis origin or birth) theory were first articulated by the Russian botanist Konstantin Mereschowsky in 1910, although he described the fundamental elements of the theory were described in a paper five years earlier. <P> Mitochondrial theory of aging, a variant of free radical theory of aging, proposes that accumulation of damage to mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leads to aging of humans and animals. Mitochondrial theory of aging matures--roles of mtDNA mutation and oxidative stress in human aging. Wei YH(1), Ma YS, Lee HC, Lee CF, Lu CY. Author information: (1)Department of Biochemistry, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. [email protected]. <P> A Brief Overview. You don’t have to be a scientist to appreciate the implications of the mitochondrial theory of aging. By definition it states that an age-related increase in oxidative stress contributes to cellular damage and can ultimately result in the death of a cell. Considering that each of us is made up of cells, the mitochondrial theory of aging is acutely relevant to all of us. On the other hand, aging mitochondria become more “productive” in a negative way: they start producing more oxidants. Fortunately, Dr. Ames’ discoveries and his subsequent development of Juvenon have dramatically impacted cellular health in our favor. <P> Denham Harman first proposed the free radical theory of aging in the 1950s, and in the 1970s extended the idea to implicate mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species. In some model organisms, such as yeast and Drosophila, there is evidence that reducing oxidative damage can extend lifespan. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically-relevant free radicals are highly reactive. <P> The mitochondrial theory of aging ties in closely with ideas about the role of free radicals in aging. In the mid-1950s, Denham Harman proposed that aging results from accumulated damage inflicted by free radicals – atoms or molecules possessed of a sole unpaired electron in their outer shells. To better understand the mitochondrial theory of aging, a little more background on mitochondria may be helpful. Mitochondria are rod-shaped, double-membraned cellular organelles around 0.5-10mM in length. <P> Comment in Aging Cell. 2003 Feb;2(1):9-10. The mitochondrial theory of aging is based around the idea of a vicious cycle, in which somatic mutation of mtDNA engenders respiratory chain dysfunction, enhancing the production of DNA-damaging oxygen radicals. In turn, this is proposed to result in the accumulation of further mtDNA mutations. <P> This information initiated the use of mitochondrial DNA to reconstruct family trees and eventually led to the Mitochondrial Eve Theory. Slide 5- Again, the Mitochondrial Eve Theory states that the mitochondrial DNA in all humans is inherited from one common female ancestor in Africa ~200,000 years ago. Slide 6 - There are several possible events that may have resulted in Mitochondrial Eve | A variant of free radical theory of aging, proposes that accumulation of damage to mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leads to aging of humans and animals. |
what does scabies look like on your hands | <P> Scabies is not an infection, but an infestation. Tiny mites called Sarcoptes scabiei set up shop in the outer layers of human skin. The skin does not take kindly to the invasion. As the mites burrow and lay eggs inside the skin, the infestation leads to relentless itching and an angry rash. <P> 1 Scabies can be on almost any part of the body, but often the hands are the first area affected. 2 Scabies also particularly like to live in skin folds and crevices, such as those on the inside of the wrist. 3 An early scabies rash will usually be a few small red dots – like hives or tiny bites or pimples. <P> A severe form of scabies, called Norwegian scabies or crusted scabies, is seen in: In people with Norwegian/crusted scabies, the skin is covered with thick, white scales and crusts. The lesions are widespread, appearing over the scalp, face, elbows, knees, palms, and soles of the feet. <P> Scabies are parasites that feed and breed under human skin. They are uncomfortably itchy, cause unsightly grey lines on the skin, which can be difficult to treat. Scabies mites are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, or by extended contact with the clothing or bedding of an infected person. Have a board certified dermatologist examine your skin problem ». <P> Anyone can get scabies. It is found all over the world and the mite is transmitted by direct and prolonged skin-to-skin contact with a person who has scabies. Sexual contact is the most common way scabies is transmitted. Transmission can also happen from parents to children, particularly mother-to-infant. <P> In most cases, a doctor can identify scabies based on the appearance of the rash and your description of the itch. Sometimes a skin scraping is used to confirm the diagnosis. This involves collecting skin from the affected area and using a microscope to check the sample for mites, eggs, or fecal matter. <P> 1 Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by a small mite. 2 The mite lays eggs in human skin, which hatch and grow into adult mites. 3 This means that symptoms of the condition can last for months or even years. <P> Scabies is a condition of very itchy skin caused by tiny mites that burrow into your skin. The itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the mites. Scabies spreads very easily from person to person. It can affect people of all ages and from all incomes, social levels, and living situations. <P> Scabies is spread by prolonged skin-to-skin contact with a person who has scabies. Scabies sometimes also can be spread by contact with items such as clothing, bedding, or towels that have been used by a person with scabies, but such spread is very uncommon unless the infested person has crusted scabies. | An early scabies rash will usually be a few small red dots – like hives or tiny bites or pimples. |
what landforms are in the forest | <P> The Appalachian Mountains. Mountains are the most dominant land forms in the deciduous forest. In the Eastern North American deciduous forests, the Appalachian Mountain range runs over 15,000 miles. Of the mountains in the Appalachian Mountain range, Mt. Mitchell is the highest peak, standing 6,684 feet high. The deciduous forest has several water sources like rivers, streams, ponds, swamps, and lakes. The longest river running through the North American deciduous forest is the Missouri River (also the longest river in the US) which branches off into the Mississippi River. <P> The deciduous forest has many plants and animals, but where would they live if there was no different levels of land? That's where landforms come in. From the rivers to the mountains it is the perfect place for the plants and animals to live in. The soft, fertile soil is the ideal place for plants such as the The American Beech tree. The Deciduous Forest has many hills, mountians, an flat areas spread all throughout it. This helps the large animals prey on from on top of different inclines. The many different trees are home to many animals and they also serve as protection against outside forces. <P> Typical landforms include hills, mountains, plateaus, canyons, valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas, including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great ocean basins. A landform is a natural feature of the Earth's surface. Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement on the landscape or the study of same is known as topography. <P> Most of the taiga land consists of hills, valleys, lowlands, mountains, and plains. Bodies of waters are one of the few things that surround the Boreal Forest. During the summer, the Boreal forest is surround by grassy plants. <P> What is a Forest Landform. There are way too many forests in the world to count. We can also say it is unfortunate that we are losing forests every day. There are a lot of different types of forests around the world such as rainforests, boreal, coniferous and deciduous. In general though, forest landforms are made up of a lot of trees in a general area. Some of the most famous forests in the world include the rainforests of Brazil and Olympic national forest of the great state of Washington. Both of these types grouping of trees are gorgeous in pictures and seen in person. Types of forest can also compete. Deciduous and coniferous forests compete often for land space by trying to outgrow the other for more sunlight. When speaking about landforms, a forest landform is one of the most exciting types to discuss in a conversation. <P> The rainforest biome is marked by the presence of different landforms such as mountains, valleys, rivers, wetlands, etc. These landforms give rise to a complex ecosystem with varied species. Read to know more in detail. The tropical rainforests are found in lowland regions. Topographical features of the rainforest regions include the mountains, valleys, streams, wetlands, rivers, etc. A thick forest cover is the prominent feature of tropical rainforests, irrespective of the topography (whether it is plain or mountainous). <P> Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images. The temperate deciduous forest is one of the Earth's most diverse and populated biomes. Deciduous forests stretch up the east coasts of China, the United States and Australia, fill the islands of New Zealand and Japan, and cover most of Europe. The terrain or landforms of the deciduous forest are similarly varied. <P> The tropical rainforests are characterized by a variety of landforms which give rise to a complex ecosystem in this region.

how air handling unit is rated? | <P> The filter in the air handling unit enables cleaning of the air. The air handling units are also called as fan coil units in case of roof mounted split AC units, since they comprise of the fan and the cooling coil. The air handling units are installed at the different places in the building to be air conditioned. 2) Cooling Coil: The cooling is one of the most important parts of the air handling units. It is made up of copper tubing of several turns and covered with the fins to increase the heat transfer efficiency of <P> The capacity of the air handling units is rated in terms of the amount of air that can be handled by its fan. The capacity of the fan can be 30,000cfm (cubic feet per minute) with the static pressure of about 75 to 100mm of water gauge. 2) Cooling Coil: The cooling is one of the most important parts of the air handling units. It is made up of copper tubing of several turns and covered with the fins to increase the heat transfer efficiency of the cooling coil. <P> AHUs in which the supply fan is installed after the heating and cooling coils are referred to as draw-through units since the supply fan draws the air through the unit. In blow-through AHUs, the supply fan is located prior to the coils. A basic definition of an air handling unit (AHU) might be “a box with a fan, coils, and filters.” From there it gets considerably more complicated. <P> The air handling units are very important parts of the central air conditioning plants, packaged air conditioning plants and also the roof mounted split air conditioning systems.

An air conditioner is designed to dehumidify and remove heat from an area. The cooling is done using a simple refrigeration cycle. A condenser is a component of the basic refrigeration cycle that removes heat from the system. The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner. Condensers are heat exchangers that can transfer heat to air or heat to fluid (such as water or glycol) to carry the heat away. An air handler, or air handling unit (often called an AHU), is used to condition and circulate air as part of an HVAC system. An air handler usually contains a blower, heating or cooling elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators, and dampers <P> Small air handlers, for local use, are called terminal units, and may only include an air filter, coil, and blower; these simple terminal units are called blower coils or fan coil units.

culture of poverty definition sociology | <P> The culture of poverty is a social theory that expands on the cycle of poverty. It attracted academic and policy attention in the 1960s, survived harsh academic criticism (Goode and Eames, 1996; Bourgois, 2001; Small M.L., Harding D.J., Lamont M., 2010), and made a comeback at the beginning of the 21st century. People with a culture of poverty have very little sense of history. They are a marginal people who know only their own troubles, their own local conditions, their own neighborhood, their own way of life. <P> The Sociology of Poverty That there is a sociology of poverty is a considerable part of the problem of poverty research. That is, there is also an economics of poverty, a psychology of poverty, an anthropology of poverty, and a politics of poverty-- and all of these involve concrete histories. When these are torn asunder, we get research which too often not only does not illuminate poverty but serves to mystify it. <P> Books on Culture of Poverty Thesis. The theory that certain groups and individuals tend to persist in a state of poverty because they have distinct beliefs, values and ways of behaving that are incompatible with economic success. The culture of poverty theory is a social theory that tries to explain the cycle of poverty. culture of poverty theory was discussed academic circles in the 1960s. culture of poverty theory tries to explain why poverty exists despite anti-poverty programs. <P> The culture of poverty constitutes a design for living that is passed on from generation to the next. Individuals feel marginalized, helpless and inferior, and adopt an attitude of living for the present. They are fatalistic. Theories of Poverty: The Culture of Poverty. Equations are omitted for technical reasons-download the original pdf. The concept of a culture of poverty was introduced by American anthropologist, Oscar Lewis, as a result of studying the urban poor in Mexico and Puerto Rico. <P> absolute poverty. (noun) A form of poverty that is the same regardless of country or culture and occurs when the resources required for minimum physical health are lacking, typically defined by limited access to food, clothing, and shelter. Audio Pronunciation: (ab·so·lute pov·er·ty). <P> By Ashley Crossman. Definition: Poverty is a condition in which people lack what they need to live; but the limits of “need to live” are a matter of definition. If poverty is defined in absolute terms (i.e. what people need to physically survive), it is relatively simple to define the point at which someone becomes poor. <P> Economist John Kenneth Galbraith (1979) claimed that the cultures of the Least Industrialized Nations hold them back. Building on the ideas of anthropologist Oscar Lewis, Galbraith argued that some nations are crippled by a culture of poverty, a way of life that perpetuates poverty from one generation to the next. Most of the world's poor people are farmers who live on little plots of land. They barely produce enough food to survive. <P> The people in the culture of poverty have a strong feeling of marginality, of helplessness, of dependency, of not belonging. They are like aliens in their own country, convinced that the existing institutions do not serve their interests and needs. People with a culture of poverty have very little sense of history. They are a marginal people who know only their own troubles, their own local conditions, their own neighborhood, their own way of life. <P> The culture of poverty also emerges as a key concept in Michael Harrington 's discussion of American poverty in The Other America (1962). For Harrington, the culture of poverty is a structural concept defined by social institutions of exclusion which create and perpetuate the cycle of poverty in America. People with a culture of poverty have very little sense of history. They are a marginal people who know only their own troubles, their own local conditions, their own neighborhood, their own way of life. | A social theory that expands on the cycle of poverty.It attracted academic and policy attention in the 1960s, survived harsh academic criticism. |

effects after surgery for pinched nerve | <P> Neuropathy, also referred to as neuralgia or neuritis, is a type of pain that involves the nerves. Neuropathy results from nerve degeneration, pressure, inflammation, or infection. There are several causes of neuropathy, including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, and pressure from spinal discs. <P> Pinched median nerve. A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure (compression) is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues. In some cases, this tissue might be bone or cartilage, such as in the case of a herniated spinal disk that compresses a nerve root. This pressure causes inflammation of the nerve and disrupts the nerve's function. If a nerve is pinched for only a short time, there's usually no permanent damage. Once the pressure is relieved, nerve function returns to normal. However, if the pressure continues, chronic pain and permanent nerve damage can occur. <P> A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons. This pressure disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness or weakness. Likewise, a pinched nerve in your wrist can lead to pain and numbness in your hand and fingers (carpal tunnel syndrome). With rest and other conservative treatments, most people recover from a pinched nerve within a few days or weeks. Sometimes, surgery is needed to relieve pain from a pinched nerve. 1 Symptoms. <P> A pinched nerve is a nerve under pressure. This pressure often comes from surrounding bone or soft tissues. A nerve under enough pressure will lose its ability to carry accurate signals, and its wayward signals can cause a variety of sensations in the body. For example, when a nerve is pinched or compressed, it can trigger the nerve to falsely signal pain. <P> If there is pressure on the nerve, then either injections or a lumbar decompression spine surgery to take pressure off the nerve may be recommended. Back surgery for a pinched nerve can usually be done with a minimally invasive approach, and will usually result in early return to normal function (1 to 3 weeks). The success rate for decompression spine surgery is high, with approximately 90% of patients experiencing good relief of the leg pain after the surgery. Surgery to treat low back pain can be a far more extensive type of back surgery, with a longer healing period and a somewhat lower success rate, than back surgery for a pinched nerve (leg pain). <P> Pinched Nerve. Put a straw in your fist. Now squeeze. You’ll notice not much is able to pass through the straw. This is, essentially, what is happening in your spine when you have a pinched nerve. Your spinal cord or nerves (the straw) are being squeezed because of the impinging by bone/and or disc material. Decompression is a surgical procedure to relieve pressure and alleviate pain caused by this impingement. <P> More aggressive treatments like epidural steroid injections and physical therapy also may be helpful for patients experiencing significant pain. It is important to keep in mind that these treatments do not always provide permanent relief, and, short of surgery, there is no cure for a pinched nerve. In cases where pain has become chronic or where damage is permanent, surgery may be recommended. Laser Spine Institute can perform pinched nerve surgery using advanced, minimally invasive techniques that come with far fewer side effects and a higher rate of success than traditional open back surgery. <P> A. A. Nerve blocks are used for pain treatment and management. Often a group of nerves, called a plexus or ganglion, that causes pain to a specific organ or body region can be blocked with the injection of medication into a specific area of the body. The injection of this nerve-numbing substance is called a nerve block. <P> Specifically in the spine, pinched nerves can be caused by a slipped or herniated disc, or spinal bone spurs. Pinched nerves are most common in areas of the body where the nerves have to pass through narrow passages such as the back, or neck. Symptoms of a pinched nerve can include any of the following: 1 Tingling or numbness in the extremities. 2 A burning sensation that can lead to intense pain. 3 Muscle spasm | Aggressive treatments like epidural steroid injections and physical therapy also may be helpful for patients experiencing significant pain. |
size of average block in philadelphia city | <P> 1.60. Portland Oregon's downtown city block is 68,000, while Chicago's uses a double block size of 217,000. The average city has from 15 to 20 blocks per mile, which range from a 264' to 352' frontage which is usually a square, or about 69,000 to 123,000 sq. ft. or 1.60 to 2.84 Acres. <P> City Blocks differ in size, but the typical square city block reaches 16 or 17 per mile, or 2.21 to 2.50 Acres. Engineers use a typical city block as 100,000 sq. ft. for calculation estimates, which is about 17 blocks per mile or 2 1/4 acres.

p type currents definition | <P> In reality the atoms are remaining fixed. in the lattice, but there is an illusion that the holes are physically moving. 2. DIODES A solid state diode consists of p-type and n-type semiconductors placed side by side. Diodes only allow electricity to flow in one direction through them. This is called an n-type semiconductor. Boron can also be used to dope a pure crystal of silicon. But since boron only offers 3 of the four electrons that a silicon atom needs, each silicon center is left with a hole. Semiconductors made in this manner are called p-type. <P> As an example we now consider an abrupt one-sided p-n diode. The current is shown as function of the voltage in Figure 4.4.7. It is calculated for a rather low n-type doping of 10 13 cm -3 to further highlight the high injection effects. When calculating the current in a p-n diode one needs to know the carrier density and the electric field throughout the p-n diode which can then be used to obtain the drift and diffusion current. Unfortunately, this requires the knowledge of the quasi-Fermi energies, which is only known if the currents are known. <P> The specific properties of a semiconductor depend on the impurities, or dopants, added to it. An N-type semiconductor carries current mainly in the form of negatively-charged electrons, in a manner similar to the conduction of current in a wire. A P-type semiconductor carries current predominantly as electron deficiencies called holes. A hole has a positive electric charge, equal and opposite to the charge on an electron. In a semiconductor material, the flow of holes occurs in a direction opposite to the flow of electrons. Part of the Electronics glossary: A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current. <P> Part of the Electronics glossary: Also see voltage, resistance, and Ohm's Law. Current is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms. The common symbol for current is the uppercase letter I. <P> The term intrinsic here distinguishes between the properties of pure intrinsic silicon and the dramatically different properties of doped n-type or p-type semiconductors. The conductivity of a semiconductor can be modeled in terms of the band theory of solids. <P> In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally zero) resistance to the flow of current in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. 1 For a bias less than the PIV, the reverse current is very small. 2 For a normal P–N rectifier diode, the reverse current through the device in the micro-ampere (µA) range. 3 However, this is temperature dependent, and at sufficiently high temperatures, a substantial amount of reverse current can be observed (mA or more). <P> In a p-n junction diode, electrons and holes are the minority charge carriers in the p-region and the n-region, respectively. Due to the diffusion of charge carriers, the diffusion current, which flows from the p to n region, is exactly balanced by the equal and opposite drift current. In a biased p-n junction, the drift current is independent of the biasing, as the number of minority carriers is independent of the biasing voltages. Drift current density due to the charge carriers such as free electrons and holes is the current passing through a square centimeter area perpendicular to the direction of flow. (i) Drift current density J n, due to free electrons is given by: (ii) Drift current density J p, due to holes is given by: <P> A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals. A vacuum tube diode has two electrodes, a plate (anode) and a heated cathode. Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices. 1 For a bias less than the PIV, the reverse current is very small. 2 For a normal P–N rectifier diode, the reverse current through the device in the micro-ampere (µA) range. 3 However, this is temperature dependent, and at sufficiently high temperatures, a substantial amount of reverse current can be observed (mA or more). | A P-type semiconductor carries current predominantly as electron deficiencies called holes. |
what is a butterfly symbolic of? | <P> Butterfly Symbolism, Butterfly Symbol Meaning. To many cultures the butterfly was a symbol of the soul, love, and rebirth. In Japan the butterfly symbolized the personification of a human's soul. In ancient Greek, the word butterfly means soul, or mind. In China, their culture sees two butterflies flying together as the symbol for love. This metamorphisis often symbolizes significant change in the course of someone's life, personality, or even their way of thinking. In the western world the butterfly is a symbol of freedom, fun and good times. The butterfly also symbolizes being natural, and it signifies purity to people in the west. <P> Later, it emerges from death, having transformed into something more beautiful and powerful than it was. The butterfly symbol is seen especially around Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ. <P> But the butterfly is also a symbol of every Christian's hope of resurrection from the dead, so it is sometimes displayed at the memorials and funerals of believers as well. The butterfly symbol is seen especially around Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ. <P> Butterfly. In Christianity, the butterfly has long been a symbol of the resurrection of Christ as well as the resurrection of believers. The caterpillar disappears into a cocoon, which is like the tomb Christ lay in after the crucifixion, appearing dead. The butterfly symbol is seen especially around Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ. <P> Here are some popular and interesting butterfly meaning beliefs across the globe: 1 Native Americans-legend has it that if you have a secret wish all you have to do is capture a butterfly and whisper your desire into its antenna. Depending on your culture or religious affiliation, your butterfly symbolism beliefs may differ. However, people from all walks of life seem to have more similarities regarding what they believe about the true meaning of butterflies. Butterflies represent change and transformation to many people. <P> In Christianity, the butterfly has long been a symbol of the resurrection of Christ as well as the resurrection of believers. The butterfly symbol is seen especially around Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ. <P> “To the Japanese, the dragonfly symbolizes summer and autumn and is admired and respected all over, so much so. that the Samurai use it as a symbol of power, agility and best of all, victory. <P> The meaning of the Butterfly symbol signifies transformation as the ugly caterpillar changes into the beautiful butterfly. The butterfly is also believed to be a messenger from the spirit world. The message the butterfly brings depends their color. <P> Butterfly Symbolism & the meaning of Transcendence. Butterfly Symbolism and Meaning... by Presley Love .... Butterfly is so elegant and beautiful she is the essence and embodiment, the spiritual symbol of the divine feminine. Butterfly Meaning &The Transcendent Energies of the Butterfly Spirit Animal. Butterfly is the embodiment of spiritual growth and transcendence perhaps more than any other life form on earth, because of the transformation from caterpillar to Butterfly. <P> Butterflies And Angels. In addition to the spiritual guidance we can receive through the metaphor of the butterfly, and by looking at it’s meaning as a power animal, when we see butterflies there is often even more than meets the eye. | Soul, love, and rebirth. |
what is white pepper | <P> White pepper is used the same way as the black variety and enhances fresh or cooked foods with a lighter and distinct flavoring. White pepper is a slightly milder version of the common black pod or grind. They both originate from the same berries, which are called peppercorns. The plant, pepper nigrum, is propagated in. <P> Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Black pepper is native to south India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions. Currently Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of pepper and producing 34% of the world's Piper nigrum crop as of 2008. <P> BLACK PEPPER AND WHITE PEPPER Overview Information. Black pepper and white pepper are made from the Piper nigrum plant. Black pepper is ground from dried, whole unripe fruit. White pepper is ground from dried, ripe fruit that has had the outer layer removed. The black pepper and white pepper powder are used to make medicine. People take black pepper for stomach upset, bronchitis, and cancer. They take white pepper for stomach upset, malaria, cholera, and cancer <P> Dried ground pepper has been used since antiquity for both its flavour and as a traditional medicine. Black pepper is the world's most traded spice. It is one of the most common spices added to European cuisine and its descendants. Black pepper is native to south India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions. Currently Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of pepper and producing 34% of the world's Piper nigrum crop as of 2008. <P> In some culinary circles, there is hot debate over which sort of pepper to use, white or black. Some chefs use white pepper strictly for aesthetic reasons: they use white pepper in white or light-colored dishes and sauces so there won’t be any black flecks. Other chefs find white pepper to be a more complex yet subtle flavor than that of black pepper, which can be pretty in-your-face. <P> That’s because black and white pepper are from the same fruit of the pepper vine. They both have bite, but black pepper is spicier and more flavorful with a earthy, citrusy taste, while white pepper is more sharp and can have a pungent smell. And white pepper is the ripe, dark red fruit, that has been soaked in water for up to two weeks until it ferments and the skin falls off, leaving only the white seed to be dried. After processing, both are referred to as peppercorns, which can be used in whole, cracked or ground form. <P> / Edit Post. Email. Black and white peppercorns are both the fruit of the pepper plant, but they are processed differently. Black peppercorns are picked when almost ripe and sun-dried, turning the outer layer black. To produce white peppercorns, this outer layer is removed before or after drying, leaving only the inner seed. While black pepper is more common in American kitchens, using white pepper in light-colored dishes for aesthetic reasons (such as white sauces and mashed potatoes) is a tradition that originated in French cookery, FAL says. However, white pepper is also used in some cuisines for its specific flavor. | White pepper are made from the Piper nigrum plant. |
When doing black and white photography, which file format should you use if possible | <P> A tip when shooting raw: Do shoot in black and white. This way you can check the results in black and white on your LCD, and back at your computer you've still got all colour information in the raw file. When shooting in RAW and switching to Black and White mode you see your results in the LCD in black and white but the camera actually records all of the information (including color) – the best of both worlds. But if you’re shooting in JPEG – shoot in color and do the conversion later <P> When you take a picture in RAW format and ask the camera to convet it to black and white it will do so just for display purposes on the camera's screen. However, the picture is still in RAW format which is as seen and therefore will always be in colour until you change the sttings of the picture using your computer. When shooting in RAW and switching to Black and White mode you see your results in the LCD in black and white but the camera actually records all of the information (including color) – the best of both worlds. But if you’re shooting in JPEG – shoot in color and do the conversion la <P> 3. If there's a horizon in your fireworks shots, then yes, it should be level. If not it doesn't matter. 4. Landscapes. 5. True 6. You should use raw for B&W AND colour. B&W is of no relevance here. 7. False. 8. True. Use a high ISO. Shoot in black and white mode. Take pictures at midday. When photographing fireworks, it is important to watch that your horizons are even. <P> A good tip for digital SLR users is to shoot in the RAW format (which you should do for the best quality colour to black and white conversions anyway) but set the Picture Style (this is Canon's term-check your instruction manual if you have another brand of camera) to a black and white mode. Black and white is a very effective medium for landscape photography. It draws attention to the shapes and forms of the components within the landscape, and the quality of light. This photo, taken on the Bolivian altiplano, is reduced to a series of shapes and blocks of light and dark tones in black and white. <P> 4. ISO. In photography, an ISO number is an indication of the sensitivity of the image sensor, where a higher number indicates higher sensitivity. The higher the ISO is the more are the possibilities to take pictures in low light, without the usage of flash. For black and white photography, use the lowest ISO. When you use high ISO the noise will become more obvious. Noise in photography is like the “grain” in film, where the film doesn’t become as smooth as you’d wish. The higher your ISO is, the more unpleasant dots will show in your photo. <P> There is an exception to this rule; if you shoot in your cameras RAW format, you can use the black and white preset on your camera. When your shooting in RAW, your camera shows you its poor black and white conversion on your display, but the color information is still available. Don’t use it. This might sound a bit weird, but you can better shoot your black and white images in color. A good black and white image will require post processing and the standard in-camera black and white conversion isn’t have as good as your own black and white conversion. <P> Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The original scanned image should be saved as a TIFF(whether they are black and white or color makes no difference). TIFF files do not compress or other wise loose any of the information you just scanned into your computer. If you are unsure of this, take one of your photographs and save as a jpg. Take that file and save as a jpg several times. Look again at the original file and compare. You should see a world of difference in quality.

average cost of a funeral service | <P> Every year, Americans arrange funerals for more than two million deceased at an average cost of $7,300 per funeral, not including cemetery costs. Many funerals go for $10,000 and up, ranking in some cases among the most expensive purchases many consumers make. A home funeral can be as inexpensive as the cost of pine for a coffin (for a backyard burial) or a few hundred dollars for cremation or several hundred dollars for cemetery costs. One family spent only $250 on a home burial. <P> If you are working with a funeral home to plan a funeral or memorial service, the cost of the funeral can be broken down into three main categories: the Basic Services Fee, the costs of any additional services or goods, and cash advances. <P> California Cremation Costs. The average cost of cremation is a fraction of funeral and burial costs in California, less than a quarter of the $10,000+ cost of an average funeral and burial. With cremation, there is no need to embalm or to purchase a cemetery plot, casket, burial vault, or gravestone. <P> Funeral Costs. Funeral costs vary greatly depending on the type of funeral or memorial service you are planning. On average, a funeral can cost between $6,000 - 7,000, usually with additional costs for burial. However, many funeral can run well over $10,000, depending on many upgrade and additional services. <P> 1 See How Much Does a Funeral Cost. 2 A traditional Jewish funeral is simple, and not ostentatious. 3 Costs can range from $500 to $10,000, but average $4,000 to $6,000 for all expenses. 4 For details, see How Much Do Jewish Funerals Cost. 1 Most churches do not charge for the funeral service of an active member of their congregation, but it can be customary to give a donation of $50-$200 or more to the church. 2 Non-members may be charged rental fees of $200-$500 or more, depending on the number and type of facilities, and the length of time they are needed. <P> The cremation rate in the U.S. in 2012 was 43.2%, up from 26.2% in 2000, 9.7% in 1980, and 3.6% in 1960.

how old do you have to be to babysit | <P> The reason is that most states do not have a legal age for babysitting. For the ones that do, the general minimum babysitting age is 13 years old. Having said that, it's strongly advised that parents also use their best judgement when deciding on the appropriate age for babysitting. Age of Children. How old the children are who are being cared for is one of the most critical factors in determining an appropriate babysitting age. If you have toddlers and infants requiring care it's not advisable to allow a young teenager to care for them. <P> Older Children. If you are looking to babysit for older children, say from age 10 and up, you will want to be much older than the child. Depending on the length of the sitting, you should be about 4 years older than the older child you’re sitting for. For instance, if the parents of a 10 year old are going out for a movie and want someone to watch the child, a good minimum age for a sitter would be 14. If the parents of an older child are looking for a live-in babysitter (to watch their child while they’re on vacation for instance), the babysitter should have a driver’s license — meaning that in most cases the sitter should be at least 16 years old. Babies. <P> In order to babysit you have to be 10 years old (or older). and have your babysitting license. That's a good guideline, but there's actually no law in Ontario that explici … tly dictates an age and as far as I know there are baby sitting courses available to those who wish to pursue, but there is no babysitting license. If you babysit you should be 14 years old at the youngest but 15 is probably better. That depends on the parents and who they will trust. Fourteen is a pretty good age to start <P> You have to be 11 years old to babysit in the state of Illinois!

State law also says a child must be at least 13 years old to baby-sit another child. Generally, it is left up to the parent to decide whether a child who is at least eight is mature enough to be home alone. Any time you leave your child alone, be sure the child knows what to do in case of an emergency. <P> Basically, if your child is age seven or younger, they should never be left alone. Kids ages 8-10 can be alone briefly, and ages 10-13 for longer periods, provided there is back-up supervision. Babysitters should be at least 12-13 years old, and can babysit for longer periods as they grow older. Again, this is a very individual decision, and these ages are only general guidelines.

what is your meniscus made of | <P> Between the femur and the tibia are two pads, one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. Each of these pads is called a meniscus. The meniscus is made of fibrocartilage which gives it a rubbery texture. The knee is made up of the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (leg bone) which are held together by ligaments, and the patella (knee cap) which lies in the Quadriceps muscle in the front of the knee. <P> In plural, the meniscus is referred to as menisci. Both are between the tibia, also called the shinbone, and the femur or thighbone. Menisci are further classified by their location. The medial meniscus is on the inside of the knee, supporting the femur’s rounded edge in the inside of the thigh. <P> In humans they are present in the knee, wrist, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and temporomandibular joints; in other animals they may be present in other joints. Generally, the term 'meniscus' is used to refer to the cartilage of the knee, either to the lateral or medial meniscus. Both are cartilaginous tissues that provide structural integrity to the knee when it undergoes tension and torsion. Two surgeries of the meniscus are most common. Depending on the type and location of the tear, the patient's age, and physician's preference, injured menisci are usually either repaired or removed, in part or completely (meniscectomy). <P> Meniscus tears are most commonly caused by trauma (athletic injuries) and the aging process (as we age our cartilage becomes brittle.) When the injury occurs in athletes, the patient typically describes a “popping” sensation in their knee when participating in a sporting event. Made up of cartilage, the wedges not only stabilize the knee, but also allow the joint to smoothly slide and move in many directions. When the meniscus is torn or damaged, you lose part that cushioning system; your weight is no longer applied evenly across your bones, so grinding and wearing occurs as bone meets bone. <P> The menisci-the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus-are crescent-shaped bands of thick, rubbery cartilage attached to the shinbone (tibia). They act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. The medial meniscus is on the inner side of the knee joint. The lateral meniscus is on the outside of the knee. Meniscus tears can vary widely in size and severity. A meniscus can be split in half, ripped around its circumference in the shape of a C or left hanging by a thread to the knee joint. <P> Both the covering of the bone within the joint and the meniscus are made of cartilage--this makes the issue a little confusing. People often say 'cartilage' to mean the meniscus (the wedges of cartilage between the bone) or to mean the joint surface (so-called articular cartilage which caps the ends of the bone). When people talk about a cartilage tear, they a talking about a meniscus tear. <P> There are two menisci in your knee; each rests between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). The menisci are made of tough cartilage and conform to the surfaces of the bones upon which they rest. One meniscus is on the inside of your knee; this is the medial meniscus. The other meniscus rests on the outside of your knee, the lateral meniscus. People often say 'cartilage' to mean the meniscus (the wedges of cartilage between the bone) or to mean the joint surface (so-called articular cartilage which caps the ends of the bone). When people talk about a cartilage tear, they a talking about a meniscus tear. <P> Structure [edit]. The menisci of the knee are two pads of fibrocartilaginous tissue which serve to disperse friction in the knee joint between the lower leg (tibia) and the thigh (femur). Two surgeries of the meniscus are most common. Depending on the type and location of the tear, the patient's age, and physician's preference, injured menisci are usually either repaired or removed, in part or completely (meniscectomy). <P> If surgery is indicated, your surgeon will recommend either a meniscus repair (repairing the tear) or a partial menisectomy (trimming and removing the torn or loose pieces of meniscus in your joint), based on your specific injury. Made up of cartilage, the wedges not only stabilize the knee, but also allow the joint to smoothly slide and move in many directions. When the meniscus is torn or damaged, you lose part that cushioning system; your weight is no longer applied evenly across your bones, so grinding and wearing occurs as bone meets bone. | The menisci are made of tough cartilage and conform to the surfaces of the bones upon which they rest. |
psychology process of extinction | <P> In the operant conditioning paradigm, extinction refers to the process of no longer providing the reinforcement that has been maintaining a behavior. Operant extinction differs from forgetting in that the latter refers to a decrease in the strength of a behavior over time when it has not been emitted. <P> Biological psychology deals with organic psych … ological processes, such as what specific neurons do, what parts of the brain do, and what happens during specific biological events-such as drug usage or brain trauma. Abnormal psychology studies behavior that is abnormal in a particular context. <P> Novel behaviours may also occur as a result of an extinction procedure being in place. A novel behaviour is a behaviour that the person would not have engaged in before while engaging in the targeted behaviour. Often these novel behaviour can be aggressive or more emotional (Miltenberger, 2008). <P> Context and behavioral processes in extinction. Bouton ME(1). Author information: (1)Department of Psychology, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont 05405, USA. [email protected]. This article provides a selective review and integration of the behavioral literature on Pavlovia <P> Thus, even if we do not have a handle on the psychological process that is affected during extinction, we can assess the efficacy of an extinction treatment by examining the development and persistence of response loss. <P> The fact of being extinct or the process of becoming extinct: The most effective agent in the extinction of species is the pressure of other species (Alfred R. Wallace). 3. Psychology A reduction or a loss in the strength or rate of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus or reinforcement is withheld. <P> Extinction is the disappearance of a previously learned behavior when the behavior is not reinforced. Extinction can occur in all types of behavioral conditioning, but it is most often associated with operant conditioning. <P> Extinction is a basic phenomenon (event, incident) of learning that occurs when a previously conditioned response decreases in frequency and eventually disappears. <P> Extinction is the disappearance of a previously learned behavior when the behavior is not reinforced. In this lesson, learn more about extinction in operant conditioning and test your knowledge with a quiz. <P> Extinction is observed in both operantly conditioned and classically conditioned behavior. When operant behavior that has been previously reinforced no longer produces reinforcing consequences the behavior gradually stops occurring. | The disappearance of a previously learned behavior when the behavior is not reinforced. |

Soften. Other things that typically are added with salt will tend to toughen the beans, but it isn't the fault of the salt. For decades, chefs have circulated the oral tradition that adding salt hardens beans, but it's a myth. In short: salt replaces calcium and magnesium in the beans' skins that make them tougher. The result is that when beans are soaked in salt water the skin softens at the same rate as the bean interior and the beans do not blow out. <P> Why does soaking dried beans in salted water make them cook up with softer skins? It has to do with how the sodium ions in salt interact with the cells of the bean skins. As the beans soak, the sodium ions replace some of the calcium and magnesium ions in the skins. In short: salt replaces calcium and magnesium in the beans' skins that make them tougher. The result is that when beans are soaked in salt water the skin softens at the same rate as the bean interior and the beans do not blow out. <P> I brine the beans overnight in a solution of 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt dissolved in 8 cups of water, which is enough to cover the beans by an inch or two. When ready to cook, I drain and rinse the beans, cover them with fresh water, and add a teaspoon of salt. (If I am cooking the beans with something else salty, like bacon or a parmesan rind, I reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.). Then add a little salt (emphasis on little) to the beans at the very beginning of cooking to keep things going. This two-punch combo of salt action works to break apart the calcium and magnesium ions in the outer skin — the ions responsible for tough skins. <P> The “Long Soak” method is the most common way to soak your beaners. Just put your beans in a large bowl or pot of water and let them sit submerged for 8-12 hours. Soaking actually begins bean germination and promotes enzyme release. The germination process is what breaks down all the complex bean sugars. Soaking helps to break down all the complex sugars in beans, sugars like the indigestible oligosaccharides. If you’re a very breezy type, you should soak the beans even longer to maximize the amount of sugar dissolved. Ohhh, yea, and please drain the soaking water. <P> 1. Beans should be soaked before cooking, and the water should be thrown out. How long to soak depends on the bean. An ideal soaking time for black beans and kidney beans might be about 24 hours, with a change of water somewhere in there, while with lentils or dried peas, somewhere around 10 hours should suffice. <P> The kidney bean is a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). It is named for its visual resemblance in shape and color to a kidney. Red kidney beans can be confused with other beans that are red, such as adzuki beans. <P> A simple side-by-side test can prove to you conclusively that salting beans (both the water used to soak them in and the water used to cook them) actually tenderizes the skins. It's got to do with magnesium and calcium, two ions found in the bean skins that help keep the structure of the beans' skin intact. When you soak the beans in salt water, sodium ions end up replacing some of the magnesium and calcium, effectively softening the skins. Whether soaked overnight or not, the bean skins would always crack open during the cooking. Researching this, I read a lot of concerns about whether the skins are hard or soft, and solutions to deal with that issue. | Soften.

pledged asset definition | <P> Pledged Asset. An asset that a borrower transfers to the possession of a lender as collateral for a loan. The borrower maintains ownership and all associated rights of the pledged asset. When the loan is repaid, the lender transfers possession back to the borrower. The pledged asset reduces the risk to the lender that the borrower will default, therefore possibly qualifying the borrower for some benefit, such as a lower interest rate. When buying a house, some mortgage borrowers will pledge an asset, such as stock, to the lender to qualify for a lower down payment. <P> A pledged asset is returned to the borrower when all conditions of the debt have be satisfied.

When the MerKaBa is activated it forms a counter-rotating field of spiritual light which creates a dimensional gateway for the Light body to stabilize within the physical body and for its other structures such as the Chakra’s to activate and stabilize as well. <P> Merkaba The word Merkaba is actually composed of three separate words: Mer, which means light, Ka, which means spirit and Ba, which means Body. Put together, these three words connote the union of spirit with body, surrounded by light. <P> A Merkaba Star, or Mer-ka-bah Healing Crystal, carries the meaning and energy of a vehicle of Divine Light which is used by Seekers, Healers and Realm Walkers-the Masters-to travel into the Astral realms and thereby connect with the higher realm beings of Light. It is a tool for Ascension. <P> Merkaba is our light body, which allows us to move from one to another dimension. A natural Merkaba, created from the Sacred space of our Heart stays with us for ever and you do not need to reactivate it. The MerKaBa (sometimes spelled merkavah and, or merkabah) is a vehicle of Ascension. <P> Related pages: Merkaba. In order to explain what the Merkaba is we must first generally explain about the flow of energy and energy fields that surround the human body. The first definition refers to the Prana or Chi - This is the Life force. <P> The Merkaba is a counter-rotating field of light generated from the spinning of specific geometric forms that simultaneously affects one's spirit and body. It is a vehicle that can aid mind, body and spirit to access and experience other planes of reality or potentials of life. The Merkaba is a tool that helps humans reach their full potential. The Merkaba is a crystalline energy field that is comprised of specific sacred geometries that align the mind, body, and heart together. This energy field created from sacred geometry extends around the body for a distance of 55 feet. <P> Merkaba Prana Sphere gold Merkaba Prana Sphere Silver Merkaba Prana Sphere is the most accurate representation of the Merkaba energy field.

what is allergic urticaria | <P> Urticaria is the medical term for a type of allergic rash. Hives are the most common type of urticaria. Hives are itchy, pink to light red, raised blotches that are usually one-quarter to one-half inch in size. Hives can occur on any part of the body. <P> A. A. A. Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of the body's reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons. Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting. <P> A. Hives, also known as urticaria, are an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps, patches, or welts on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of allergies, or for other reasons. Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are plants that contain an irritating, oily sap called urushiol. A. Hives, also known as urticaria, are an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps, patches, or welts on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of allergies, or for other reasons. Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting. <P> Hives, also known as urticaria, affects about 20 percent of people at some time during their lives. It can be triggered by many substances or situations and usually starts as an itchy patch of skin that turns into swollen red welts. <P> Cold Urticaria (essentially meaning cold hives) is an allergy where hives (urticaria) or large red welts form on the skin after exposure to a cold stimulus. The welts are usually itchy and often the hands and feet will become itchy and swollen as well. <P> Introduction. Urticaria – also known as hives, welts or nettle rash – is a raised, itchy rash that appears on the skin. The rash can be on just one part of the body or be spread across large areas. The affected area may change in appearance within 24 hours, and the rash will usually settle within a few days. <P> Hives (urticaria). Hives (urticaria) are skin reactions that appear as red, raised, itchy welts and can occur on any part of the body. Short-lived (acute) hives are often due to an allergic reaction to a food or medication, though they also commonly result from a viral infection in children. <P> A person with allergic urticaria has swelling of the skin, due to allergies. Urticaria or hives causes mild redness and swelling of the skin. Urticaria usually resolves in 48 to 72 hours. Allergic urticaria is very common. About 1 out of every 1,000 people in the US develop urticaria each year. Hives are the most common type of urticaria. Hives are itchy, pink to light red, raised blotches that are usually one-quarter to one-half inch in size. Hives can occur on any part of the body. <P> Hives are also known as urticaria, welts, wheals, or nettle rash. It is a red, raised, itchy skin rash that is sometimes triggered by something that produces an allergic reaction-an allergen. When there is an allergic reaction the body releases a protein called histamine. Acute urticaria or Acute hives. When symptoms last less than 6 weeks it is called acute urticaria. This is by far the most common type. 25% of people with acute urticaria also have angioedema-swelling in the deeper layers of skin. | Urticaria is the medical term for a type of allergic rash. |
what causes meningitis of the brain | <P> Meningitis. Inflammation of the meninges (three thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord). Meningitis is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection, but sometimes is caused by cancer, drug allergies, or inflammatory diseases. PubMed Health Glossary. About Meningitis. Meningitis is most often caused by a bacterial infection. It also may be caused by a virus, fungal infection, parasite, a reaction to certain medications or medical treatments, a rheumatologic disease such as lupus, some types of cancer, or a traumatic injury to the head or spine. <P> Aseptic meningitis is similar to other forms of meningitis, but the cause is not a bacterial infection of the meninges or CSF. Aseptic meningitis can be caused by viruses, some drug reactions, and certain conditions, such as tuberculosis, brain surgery, head injury, cancer, or Lyme disease. Meningitis is a serious disease that is marked by inflammation of the membranes (meninges) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which encase and protect the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is also called spinal meningitis. <P> Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges (the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord) caused by an infection. The inflammation can cause damage to the brain and spinal cord. <P> 1 Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes (called meninges) that surround the brain and spinal cord. 2 Both encephalitis and meningitis can be caused by bacteria or viruses, and rarely a fungus, or be noninfectious. 3 Headache and fever are the most common symptoms of encephalitis and meningitis. Encephalitis and meningitis facts. 1 Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. 2 Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes (called meninges) that surround the brain and spinal cord. 3 <P> Meningitis is a condition that causes inflammation and swelling in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. This swelling from meningitis can harm or destroy nerve cells and cause bleeding in the brain. <P> Meningitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. The inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is also referred to as spinal meningitis. Meningitis may develop in response to a number of causes, usually bacteria or viruses, but meningitis can also be caused by physical injury, cancer or certain drugs. <P> Meningitis (from Greek μῆνιγξ meninx, méninx membrane and the medical-suffix, itis) inflammation is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal, cord known collectively as the. meninges Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore, the condition is classified as a medical emergency. <P> Meningitis is inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. It is usually caused by an infection. The infection occurs most often in children, teens, and young adults. <P> Meningitis is almost always caused by a bacterial or viral infection that began elsewhere in the body, such as in the ears, sinuses, or upper respiratory tract. Less common causes of meningitis include fungal infection, autoimmune disorders, and medications. Bacterial meningitis is caused by any one of several bacteria. The most common bacteria causing meningitis in children and adults in the U.S. are Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus), Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and, in older patients with decreased immunity, Listeria monocytogenes. <P> The inflammation may be caused by infection with viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, and less commonly by certain drugs.

estimate cost of building an extension to a home | <P> Most builders can give you an idea of what your extension will cost per square foot or metre. For example, a basic single storey extension would typically cost around £1,000 per square metre but it could be up to £1,600 or more for a premium two storey extension. <P> Hans Hansen/Lifesize/Getty Images. Building an extension to your home is a costly project that can easily lead to budget-busting overruns. To avoid this, calculating an accurate cost for the extension beforehand is vital. This is especially true for a DIY builder intending to save money by cutting out the labor and contractor costs. Call various building supply companies in your area and get an estimate of costs for the supplies, including the cost to deliver the supplies to your building site. Note the average cost of supplies for your calculations. Make a list of the tools you'll need to buy or rent to complete the project yourself. <P> Whatprice provide a useful cost calculator (below), or better still why not use our FREE quotation service to get an accurate cost for building an extension. With the extension cost calculator you can get a quick, free, rough estimate of at least some of the costs involved in building extra room(s) for your house. House Extension Costs Calculator. The current uncertainty in the housing market has caused an upsurge in the number of house extensions being built. Adding a bedroom to a house is an almost certain way of increasing the value of a property beyond the cost of having the work done. <P> You may have heard that the rule of thumb is £1,000 per m2. However, this figure has been bandied about for rather a long time now! From experience, £1,200 per m2 is a now a more realistic estimate for a house extension cost in 2015 and reflects price increases over the last few years. So, for your 4 x 5m extension, the build cost would be roughly £24,000. As a rule of thumb you can add 50% extra to the build cost of a single storey extension. So, £24,000 +50% = £36,000. + Add on 10-15% for professional fees (architect, planning application, building regs, structural engineer). + VAT. <P> In most cases, when you are extending your home you will be able to keep all the original cladding on your house and simply add the same style of cladding to your addition so it blends in perfectly. Painting the exterior of an average sized, single-storey house with a one-room extension is likely to cost around $15,000. A same level house extension in New Zealand will cost approximately $60,000 to $200,000+. Adding a room or extending your living area on the ground floor are affordable ways of creating more space. Here are some key points to consider that will help you keep your renovation costs in check <P> This tool is to assist you in estimating the approximate budget cost for building work on your home. It is important to know the proposed floor area of the new extension and also the floor area of associated renovation works together with other works in the remainder of the house. | £1,000 per square metre but it could be up to £1,600 |
why is RTI effective in schools | <P> Our New Look. The American Institutes for Research (AIR) ran the National Center on Response to Intervention (NCRTI) from 2007-2012 with a grant from the Office of Special Education Programs. When the Center’s federal funding ended in 2012, AIR took over upkeep and maintenance of the Center’s website and products. <P> RTI is general education process that is used in schools to ensure students receive the supports they need to be successful and excel in school. In the educational literature, RTI is often referred to as a Standard Protocol Approach, as a Problem Solving Model. , or as a hybrid of the two. RTI seeks to prevent academic and behavioral failure through universal screening, early intervention, frequent progress monitoring, and increasingly intensive research-based instruction or interventions for children who continue to have difficulty. <P> According to many publications about the three-tier model of RTI, a school's goal is for no more than 20% of students to require additional support beyond good Tier I curriculum and instruction (Burns et al., 2005). <P> The problem-solving process occurs within each tier of the pyramid. The third essential component of RTI is the use of an integrated data-collection/assessment system to inform decisions at each tier of the pyramid. This component helps determine a student’s response to instruction and intervention. The overarching format for these assessments is curriculum-based assessment. This approach is not about placing the problems within the student, but rather examining the student’s response to instruction and/or intervention. In essence, RTI expands the practice of looking at students’ risk of learning and behavioral failure beyond the student and takes into consideration a host of factors. <P> What is at the heart of RtI? The purpose of RtI is to provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed in school, identify students with learning or behavioral problems, and ensure that they receive appropriate instruction and related supports. While RtI required a student to be compared to grade level peers, information as to how rapidly a student is progressing in a below grade level intervention will help the problem-solving team determine a reasonable and realistic period of time before the student may be expected to achieve grade-level proficiency. <P> Classroom teachers often collect the data under the RtI process, much as they do for other instructional initiatives. However, the spirit and intent of problem-solving teams is for all members of the school’s problem-solving team to collaborate and assist in improving educational outcomes for students. While RtI required a student to be compared to grade level peers, information as to how rapidly a student is progressing in a below grade level intervention will help the problem-solving team determine a reasonable and realistic period of time before the student may be expected to achieve grade-level proficiency. <P> RTI's underlying premise is that schools should not wait until students fall far enough behind to qualify for special education to provide them with the help they need. Instead, schools should provide targeted and systematic interventions to all students as soon as they demonstrate the need. Like obedient soldiers, site educators take their RTI marching orders and begin to complete the items on their RTI to-do list, such as administering a universal screening assessment, regrouping students in tiered groups, or creating a tutorial period. Such an approach is fraught with pitfalls. <P> In RtI, the problem solving method is used to match instructional resources to educational need. The problem solving method is used at all three tiers: for all students (Tier 1), for groups of students (Tier 2), and for individual or small groups of students (Tier 3). RtI involves an education process that matches instructional and intervention strategies and supports to student needs in an informed, ongoing approach for planning, implementing, and evaluating the effectiveness of instruction, curricular supports, and interventions. <P> Finally, because the best intervention is prevention, the effective RTI school would use universal screening data to identify students lacking the prerequisite skills for an essential standard and then provide targeted Tier 2 or Tier 3 support before delivering core instruction on that standard. Like obedient soldiers, site educators take their RTI marching orders and begin to complete the items on their RTI to-do list, such as administering a universal screening assessment, regrouping students in tiered groups, or creating a tutorial period. Such an approach is fraught with pitfalls. <P> Response to Intervention or RTI grew from efforts to improve identification practices in special education. Simply put, it is a process of systematically documenting the performance of students as evidence of the need for additional services after making changes in classroom instruction. | Because the best intervention is prevention, the effective RTI school would use universal screening data to identify students lacking the prerequisite skills for an essential standard and then provide targeted Tier 2 or Tier 3 support before delivering core instruction on that standard.i |
what is a retarder | <P> The Retarder works wear-free, it can eliminate 90% of all brake application. Thus the normal foot brake remains cold and is available with emergencies with the full braking power (no fading with hot brake linings). Cost saving, the normal brake linings last up to 8x longer, which decreases the downtime in the shop. <P> In contrast, eddy current retarder brakes comprise a distinct and purpose built static armature and rotor that are explicitly made and added to a vehicle for braking and dissipation of heat and not for motive power; it is a purpose built system distinct from the motor. They are usually used as an additional assistance to slow vehicles, with the final braking done by a conventional friction braking system. As the friction brake will be used less, particularly at higher speeds, their service life is increased. <P> Allison’s hydraulic retarder is basically a vaned flywheelin the transmission housing. The transmission directs oilinto the retarder housing to absorb the vehicle’s energythrough the drive shaft.The absorbed energy isconverted to heat and dissipated through the vehicle’scooling system. <P> Water reducers, retarders, and superplasticizers are admixtures for concrete, which are added in order to reduce the water content in a mixture or to slow the setting rate of the concrete while retaining the flowing properties of a concrete mixture. <P> The transmission retarder is enabled by a switch on the driver's console. When enabled, the transmission retarder is activated by two different methods; either with the application of the service brake pedal or by releasing the throttle pedal. A joystick on the driver's console selects the amount of retardation. The hydraulic retarder is a most simple device, and has only one moving part -- a rotor or paddle wheel.. The truck wheels turn the rotor through the transmission. The rotor throws the oil in the rotor cavity against the fixed stator vanes, which resist the oil flow. <P> A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed on declines, and help prevent the vehicle from running away by accelerating down the decline. They are not usually capable of bringing vehicles to a standstill, as their effectiveness diminishes as vehicle speed lowers. They are usually used as an additional assistance to slow vehicles, with the final braking done by a conventional friction braking system. As the friction brake will be used less, particularly at higher speeds, their service life is increased. <P> Brake-retarders improve road safety and augment the functioning of wheel brakes. Brake-retarders operate by switching the vehicle’s diesel engine to a compression mode, such that only air is supplied to the engine cylinders. Some vehicles with especially high load capacity and hydrodynamic transmissions use rotor-type brake-retarders, in which rotors with curved blades are installed on the drive shaft of the transmission. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Some vehicles have retarders which help slow a vehicle, reducing the need for using your brakes. They reduce brake wear and give you another way to slow down. There are many types of retarders (exhaust, engine, hydraulic, electric). All retarders can be turned on or off by the driver. On some, the retarding power can be adjusted. When turned on, retarders apply their braking power (to the drive wheels only) whenever you let up on the accelerator pedal all the way. <P> BRAKING THROUGH RESISTANCE. Allison’s hydraulic retarder is basically a vaned flywheel in the transmission housing. The transmission directs oil into the retarder housing to absorb the vehicle’s energy through the drive shaft. The absorbed energy is converted to heat and dissipated through the vehicle’s cooling system. The hydraulic retarder is a most simple device, and has only one moving part -- a rotor or paddle wheel.. The truck wheels turn the rotor through the transmission. The rotor throws the oil in the rotor cavity against the fixed stator vanes, which resist the oil flow. <P> Retarders. Cement setting times can be adjusted with retarders. Cement retarders control the time when a slurry will set hard, keeping the slurry viscous and pumpable in expected wellbore temperatures and for the amount of time required to place the slurry. Retarders decrease the rate of cement hydration, acting in a manner opposite to that of accelerators. HR®-7 Cement Retarder. A sodium lignosulfonate used as a retarder and dispersant in all classes of cement and Pozmix® cement at temperatures ranging from 110°F (43.3°C) up to 170°F (76.7°C), as a secondary effect HR-7 retarder can decrease air entrainment and help control fluid loss. | It is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. |

how long does it take to create a habit | <P> On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behavior, the person, and the circumstances. In Lally’s study, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit. [1]. Where to Go From Here. At the end of the day, how long it takes to form a particular habit doesn’t really matter that much. Whether it takes 50 days or 500 days, you have to put in the work either way. The only way to get to Day 500 is to start with Day 1. <P> On average, it takes more than two months before a new behavior becomes automatic -- 66 days to be exact. And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behavior, the person, and the circumstances. In Lally's study, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit. Where to Go From Here. At the end of the day, how long it takes to form a particular habit doesn't really matter that much. Whether it takes 50 days or 500 days, you have to put in the work either way. The only way to get to Day 500 is to start with Day 1. So forget about the number and focus on doing the work <P> On average it took 66 days for the participants to start a habit. (That’s March 6 if you are attempting a New Year’s resolution). Another interesting result of the study was the amount of variation. Even though 66 days was average, the number of days for habit formation varied wildly from 18 days to 254 days. So, there really isn’t a magic number, just an average. There was also variation in how strong the habit became, based mostly on the type of habit. I found many claims that it takes 21 days to start a habit, but I couldn’t find any scientific evidence to support the fact. After a while I finally gave up and went with the popular notion that 21 days is the magic number to change anything in your life. <P> Just do a Google search for ‘21 days’ and you will find plenty of claims that almost anything can be accomplished in 21 days. So how long does it really take for you or me or anyone to start a new habit? Researchers at University College London, recently conducted an enlightening study on habit formation. I found many claims that it takes 21 days to start a habit, but I couldn’t find any scientific evidence to support the fact. After a while I finally gave up and went with the popular notion that 21 days is the magic number to change anything in your life. <P> It depends on how type of person you are; and also depends on that you are human being or animal. Animals take more time then human beings to make anything their habit, and they also take more time to leave that habit. Also, human beings differ from person to person. Answer:21 days is not an accurate answer! <P> Habits: Make It and Break It. No one is entirely sure where the 21-day rule originates, but it seems to have first been set forth in a book called Psycho-Cybernetics.. It's a self-help book first published in the 1970s, and in it, you find out you can create or break a habit in just 21 days. <P> Hi Gretchen, I believe it does take 21 days to change or create a habit although I think the statement should be rephrased to say it takes approximately 21 days of consistent daily behaviour combined with belief, faith, determination and emotional leverage or sincere desire to succeed to form new habits. <P> When he became interested in how long it takes for us to form or change a habit, psychologist Jeremy Dean found himself bombarded with the same magic answer from popular psychology websites and advice columns: 21 days. What this research suggests is that 21 days to form a habit is probably right, as long as all you want to do is drink a glass of water after breakfast. Anything harder is likely to take longer to become a really strong habit, and, in the case of some activities, much longer. | 21 days. |
flush brake fluid cost | <P> 1 According to CarsDirect.com, the brake fluid flush costs for the average job are $89 to $130 or more, depending on the type of vehicle and the auto shop where the service is done. 2 Old Mill Toyota, a Toyota dealer that is based in Omaha, Nebraska, offers brake fluid flush and inspection services for $79.95. 1 A brake fluid tester can be used to test the moisture content in the brake fluid. 2 The tester can cost around $20 to $40 or more. 3 If you are going to perform the job yourself, you may need a few specific tools. <P> Report Abuse. Changing the system and flushing the system 'bleeding the brakes' is the best thing to do. You can buy a kit from Super Cheap Auto for about $15(au). You need to remove each wheel and untighten the bleeder valve on near the wheel and attach the special hose that comes in the bleeding kit. <P> 0. My dealer is recommending a number of service jobs for my Acura with 77,249 miles, including brake fluid flush, for the price of $4,169.00. Is this a fair charge for this job? Sounds like they are trying to convince you to buy a new vehicle from them :). BUT, if you do need new brake pads, flushing the brake fluid would be a good idea, but would not pay more than $90 extra for it. Find a local mom and pop mechanic. <P> I have a 2005 Honda Element. The owners manual states the brake fluid should be replaced every 3 years. When I asked the dealer to replace the brake fluid, they said it was going to cost $190. I told them last time they did it, it was only $27. They said it was expensive because they were going to hook it up to a sort of dialysis machine to flush it out. The owners manual doesn't say anything about this. When you replace brake fluid you are flushing the system. The way you do it, all old break fluid will be removed and new fluid in its place. You should do this as your owner's manual prescribes. I believe normal intervals are either two or three years as your manual says. <P> It's not necessary to have your power steering fluid flushed. If the fluid level is dropping, you have a leak you need to address. Other than than, old fluid is fine. Brake lines only need to be bled if the fluid has absorbed a lot of moisture, and/or if there is air in the lines. The power steering fluid also attracts moisture but it isn't likely to cause system failure the way the brake fluid does. The cost is based on time expended. Flushing the system requires bleeding fluid from all four wheels until the fluid runs clean and that takes time. <P> A good rule of thumb is to have your brakes flushed about every 30,000 miles (48,280 kilometers) or so. Note that brake flushing and bleeding the brakes are two different procedures. Brake flushing involves removing all the brake fluid from the system and getting all-new, clean fluid inside. Brake bleeding just means removing enough brake fluid to get air bubbles out of the brake lines. So, make sure you get your brakes flushed regularly. <P> The brake fluid flush cost for an average job ranges somewhere between about $89 to more than $130, depending on the type of car and where you take it to get it done. A brake flush procedure is pretty much what it sounds like. Your brake lines are flushed out and new brake fluid is put in. Most mechanics suggest that car and truck owners do a brake fluid flush about every 30,000 miles. It is important to do this so that the brake lines stay clean and help to prevent corrosion and rust that can ruin the brake lines and therefore, cause you to have an accident. <P> 1 Midas of Madison in Madison, Wisconsin, provides brake fluid flush services for $89.99. 2 The price includes removing dirty brake fluid, replacing bleeders (if needed), adding new brake fluid, bleeding air out of the brake system, and a road test once the job is completed. 1 A brake fluid tester can be used to test the moisture content in the brake fluid. 2 The tester can cost around $20 to $40 or more. 3 If you are going to perform the job yourself, you may need a few specific tools. <P> 1 The price includes removing dirty brake fluid, replacing bleeders (if needed), adding new brake fluid, bleeding air out of the brake system, and a road test once the job is completed. 2 On average, plan on budgeting anywhere from $70 to as much as $160 for the complete job. 1 A brake fluid tester can be used to test the moisture content in the brake fluid. 2 The tester can cost around $20 to $40 or more. 3 If you are going to perform the job yourself, you may need a few specific tools. | About $89 to more than $130. |
where is the deltoid quizlet | <P> Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years. <P> The deltoid is attached by tendons to the skeleton at the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade), and humerus (upper arm bone). The deltoid is widest at the top of the shoulder and narrows to its apex as it travels down the arm. Contraction of the deltoid muscle results in a wide range of movement of the arm at the shoulder due to its location and the wide separation of its muscle fibers.... The deltoid muscle is a rounded, triangular muscle located on the uppermost part of the arm and the top of the shoulder. <P> Shoulder Muscles and Shoulder Tendons. Muscles in the back, neck, shoulder, chest and upper arm all work together to support and move the shoulder. One of the most important is the deltoid. Tendons are elastic, soft, connective tissue structures that attach muscles to bone. Muscles move the bones by pulling on the tendons. The shoulder is not a single joint, but a complex arrangement of bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that is better called the shoulder girdle. The primary function of the shoulder girdle is to give strength and range of motion to the arm. The shoulder girdle includes three bones—the scapula, clavicle and humerus. <P> The shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle is the set of bones which connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton on each side. In humans it consists of the clavicle and scapula; in those species with three bones in the shoulder, it consists of the clavicle, scapula, and coracoid. The shoulder girdle consists of five muscles that attach to the clavicle and scapula and allow for the motion of the sternoclavicular joint (connection between sternum and clavicle) and acromioclavicular joint (connection between clavicle and scapula). <P> SHARE SHARE TWEET EMAIL. The deltoid is the large muscle that covers your shoulder joint. The muscle consists of three fiber groups: the anterior, lateral and posterior deltoids. The anterior deltoid, also known as the front delt, connects the collarbone to the humerus, the large bone of the upper arm. Along with other muscles of the shoulder, the anterior deltoid stabilizes the shoulder joint and aids in specific forward and rotational movements of the arm <P> A sudden pain in the muscle at the front of the shoulder is common. Pain is reproduced when lifting the arm from your side to the front keeping it straight against resistance. Or when you lift your arm from your side up sideways against resistance if the strain is in the mid portion or top of the muscle. <P> This muscle is large, heavy and strong. Most of your chest is formed and shaped by the pectoralis major muscle. There are two such muscles, on either side of the chest. It begins at the clavicle, sternum and ribs and stretches to the upper arm bone that connects the elbow to the shoulder, which is also known as humerus. The pectoralis major muscles help you to move your shoulders, shoulder joints, to move or raise your arm and all motions of the upper arm. These muscles also facilitate breathing. The pectoralis major muscles are among the strongest in the human body. <P> The biceps brachii muscle splits into two tendons at the shoulder: the long head and the short head. The long head of the biceps muscle assists other muscles with shoulder flexion. It is located in the front of the upper arm and attaches to the glenoid fossa, or socket part of the shoulder joint. The long head of the biceps muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve. The deltoid muscle is composed of three parts: anterior, middle and posterior. The anterior deltoid muscle is located on top of the shoulder and originates on the collarbone. The anterior deltoid tendon attaches to the front of the humerus producing <P> Shoulder Abduction. Shoulder abduction describes raising the upper arm outward from the side of the body, such as when you put your arms out to form a T-shape. This movement is accomplished through the action of your anterior and lateral deltoids along with the pectoralis major and supraspinatus muscles. The muscle consists of three fiber groups: the anterior, lateral and posterior deltoids. The anterior deltoid, also known as the front delt, connects the collarbone to the humerus, the large bone of the upper arm. | The deltoid muscle is a rounded, triangular muscle located on the uppermost part of the arm and the top of the shoulder. |

where does bronze come from | <P> Several types of bronze are used, commonly B20 bronze, which is roughly 20% tin, 80% copper, with traces of silver, or the tougher B8 bronze which is made from 8% tin and 92% copper. As the tin content in a bell or cymbal rises, the timbre drops. <P> bronze came from south and east asia. <P> Gold medals can be won or lost within fractions of seconds; Bradley Wiggins' bike frame is made of 'nanoalloy carbon', Andy Murray uses a graphite tennis racket and Jessica Ennis' running spikes use the latest carbon and nano-ceramics technologies. <P> Bronze is a copper and tin alloy, but the term is also used for a variety of copper alloys, some of which do not contain tin at all. The use of bronze has been reported since the earliest Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilisations in the manufacture of tools and weapons. <P> Copper is found in many parts of the world. It usually comes from copper ore, but small amounts are occasionally found (native copper) in distorted cubic crystal chunks. Keweenaw Peninsula near Lake Superior in Michigan is one of the most likely places to find native copper!! <P> The USA is the second largest producer of copper in the world. The largest copper mine is found in Utah (Bingham Canyon). Other major mines are found in Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico and Montana. In South America, Chile, the world's largest producer, and Peru are both major producers of copper. <P> The first bronze artifacts were alloys of copper and arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring contaminant in copper desposits and, in sufficient concentrations (10% to 15% of the copper), produces a high-quality bronze. <P> Most pure metals, like aluminium, silver and copper, come from the Earth s crust. They are found in ores solid materials called minerals, usually occurring in rock, from which the pure metal has to be extracted. The properties of pure metals can be improved by mixing them with other metals to make alloys. <P> Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon. <P> non-ferrous metals, which don t have iron in them (for example copper, aluminium, tin and lead). People first began making things from metal over 6000 years ago, when they discovered how to get copper from its ore. They then learned how to make a harder alloy, bronze, by adding tin to the copper. | bronze came from south and east asia. |

Average cost of a new drywall to get installed will vary from $41.5 to $60.0 per 4'x8'x5/8 sheet including labor and materials or from $1.30 to $1.88 per square foot. Complication of work is a main factor of establishing the total cost to install a drywall. Custom work on a multilevel ceiling, hanging and finishing drywall on arches, or other supplementary house design details will increase the cost of installation up to 100% or even more. <P> Jose, for a typical drywall installation job, you might pay around $25-$30 per sheet, or $0.75-$0.90 per square foot, for the labor, which should include hanging, taping and finishing the drywall. You should also let the contractors know that you have already purchased the drywall for your project. Keep in mind, you might have to pay a higher labor cost if the stack of drywall needs to be moved by hand from one location in your home to another. <P> 1 General contractor overhead and markup for organizing and supervising the Ceiling Drywall Installation. 2 Add 15% to 23% to the total cost above if a general contractor will supervise this project. 3 Sales tax on materials and supplies.

how long can beef be frozen and still be good | <P> Beef. Beef in particular freezes well and will last quite a while without sacrificing flavor. Just how long it can be frozen depends on the individual cut and size of the beef. For example, roasts last the longest, up to 12 months when properly wrapped. Optimally, they should be used within six months. Stew and variety cuts are next on the list, lasting around 3 or 4 months <P> Beef may be cooked frozen or defrosted. Defrosted beef should be cooked as a fresh cut; but allow additional cooking time. Frozen roasts require 1/3 to 1/2 more time for cooking. Cooking time for frozen steaks and patties varies according to surface area, thickness, and broiling temperature. <P> The vinegar will actually tenderize and take the freezer smell out. The meat should still be good. A good rule of thumb is on chicken and turkey or store bought cook within 2 months because they already keep it too long. I have had chicken in the freezer for over a year and it not even show any freezer burn. <P> From a bacteriological standpoint, the meat would be safe for as long as it remains frozen-if it was safe when it was frozen and isn't otherwise contaminated while in … the freezer. But it won't necessarily be palatable. Chemical changes occur within the meat even while frozen and adversely affect flavor. Depending upon the packaging and the freezer, the meat could be acceptable anywhere from 4 months to 12 months. <P> Wrap meat in double cellophane tightly with no air, then wrap in freezer paper tightly and tape up good with no air leaks. If wrapped properly and never allowed to thaw and kept as close to zero meat should be safe to eat for many years. I eat two year old beef, elk and deer all the time. The safest way to defrost frozen meat is in the fridge, the microwave or a bowl of cold water. A rule of thumb for defrosting frozen meat in the fridge is to allow one day for every five pounds (2.27 kilograms). Defrosted meat is safe to refreeze as long as it was thawed in the refrigerator. If there is a power outage, frozen meat should remain safe for approximately two days in a closed, full freezer and one day in a half-full, closed freezer <P> And with the use of a zip-seal bag and a permanent marker, you can avoid wasting your good food. Before you put meat in the freezer, you should always write the date on it -- that way you don't have to question how long it's been frozen. And, believe it or not, some meats can last in the freezer for up to one year. 1 Cooked poultry -- 4 months. 2 Uncooked poultry parts -- 9 months. 3 Uncooked whole poultry -- 12 months <P> How should they be reheated? If ground beef is refrigerated promptly after cooking (within 2 hours; 1 hour if the temperature is above 90 °F), it can be safely refrigerated for about 3 or 4 days. If frozen, it should keep its quality for about 4 months. <P> 1 How long does ground beef last in the fridge once it is cooked? 2 Cooked ground beef will usually stay good for 3 to 4 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. 1 Ground beef that has been defrosted in the fridge can be kept for an additional 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator before cooking; ground beef that was thawed in the microwave or in cold water should be cooked immediately. <P> 1 After ground beef is purchased, it may be refrigerated for 1 to 2 days — the sell-by date on the package may expire during that storage period, but the ground beef will remain safe to use after the sell by date if it has been properly stored. 1 Ground beef that has been defrosted in the fridge can be kept for an additional 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator before cooking; ground beef that was thawed in the microwave or in cold water should be cooked immediately. | 1 Cooked poultry -- 4 months. 2 Uncooked poultry parts -- 9 months.3 Uncooked whole poultry -- 12 months. |

the three chemical differences between dna and rna | <P> (2) DNA is made up of these four bases: adenine & guanine, cytosine & thymine; R … NA is made up of adenine & guanine, cytosine & URACIL, the difference being that in RNA, uracil replaces thymine. (3) DNA is a double stranded molecule, and RNA is a single stranded molecule. Both contain a sugar, phosphate groups, and four different nitrogenous base pairs. Three of the nitrogenous bases are the same for both RNA and DNA: guanine, adenine, and cytosine. Thymine, the fourth base pair found in DNA, is replaced by uracil in RNA. DNA has deoxyribose sugar while RNA has ribose sugar. The deoxyribose sugar has one less oxygen atom than the ribose sugar <P> Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate and a nucleic acid base. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The sugar in RNA is ribose, the same as deoxyribose but with one more OH (oxygen-hydrogen atom combination called a hydroxyl). This is the biggest difference between DNA and RNA. (1) RNA is single-stranded while DNA is a double-stranded helix. (2) RNA also has uracil as its base while the DNA base is thymine. However, even with the differences in their structures, DNA and RNA have cooperating roles in the field of Cell Biology. <P> 1 DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. 2 The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more-OH group than deoxyribose, which has-H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring.

what is plc example | <P> A programmable logic controller, PLC, or programmable controller is a digital computer used for automation of typically industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. PLCs are used in many machines, in many industries. PLC applications are typically highly customized systems, so the cost of a packaged PLC is low compared to the cost of a specific custom-built controller design. On the other hand, in the case of mass-produced goods, customized control systems are economical. <P> A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, is more or less a small computer with a built-in operating system (OS). This OS is highly specialized to handle incoming events in real time, i.e., at the time of their occurrence. <P> Ladder logic has evolved into a programming language that represents a program by a graphical diagram based on the circuit diagrams of relay logic hardware. Ladder logic is used to develop software for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used in industrial control applications. The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders, with two vertical rails and a series of horizontal rungs between them <P> A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC for short, is simply a special computer device used for industrial control systems. They are used in many industries such as oil refineries, manufacturing lines, conveyor systems and so on. In these modern times a PC with specially dedicated software from the PLC manufacturer is used to program a PLC. The most widely used form of programming is called ladder logic. Ladder logic uses symbols, instead of words, to emulate the real world relay logic control, which is a relic from the PLC's history. <P> A PLC is a microprocessor based programming unit used to perform several functions in industrial processes. But it differs in some ways from a computer. Unlike desktop computers, PLCs have multiple inputs and outputs, and are designed for the rugged operation under extreme industrial conditions. A PLC is similar to a computer as it has a central processing unit and generates outputs on the basis of some inputs. The logic or sequence of operation for a process is executed as per a control logic program or software <P> More recently, PLCs are programmed using application software on personal computers, which now represent the logic in graphic form instead of character symbols. The computer is connected to the PLC through Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, or RS-422 cabling. PLC applications are typically highly customized systems, so the cost of a packaged PLC is low compared to the cost of a specific custom-built controller design. On the other hand, in the case of mass-produced goods, customized control systems are economical. <P> A professional learning community, or PLC, is a group of educators that meets regularly, shares expertise, and works collaboratively to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students. <P> The following are some of the commonly used languages used to program a PLC: 1 Ladder Diagram (LD): The traditional ladder logic is a graphical programming language. 2 Statement List (STL): A high level text language that uses structured programming.

what vitamin is considered nonessential | <P> * B-Complex co-factor PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid). * Bioflavonoids which work with vitamin C. Certain amino acids found in protein are considered nonessential accessory nutrients because they can be synthesized by the body from the essential amino acids. There are many nonessential nutrients that work in harmony with the essential nutrients to aid in the breakdown and conversion of food into cellular energy, and help to support all of the body's physical and mental functions. <P> Nonessential Vitamins. Last month's newsletter featured an article on the essential nutrients; those nutrients derived from food that the body is unable to manufacture on its own. The counterparts to the essential nutrients are the accessory nutrients also called nonessential nutrients or co-factors. There are many nonessential nutrients that work in harmony with the essential nutrients to aid in the breakdown and conversion of food into cellular energy, and help to support all of the body's physical and mental functions. <P> Just about all vitamins are in fact considered essential nutrients. The body, however, does produce some in some interesting ways. Vitamin D is produced from exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun and is important for bone health and calcium absorption. Unlike what the names may lead you to believe, both essential and non essential nutrients are needed by the body. The difference between the two are the process in which they are obtained. With essential nutrients, the needed vitamins and minerals must be supplemented because they are not made naturally <P> Good sources of complex carbohydrates include whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Vitamins. Found in a variety of foods, especially vegetables and fruits and are key in helping the body make energy from food. 1 Vitamin A (beta-carotene, retinol). 2 Vitamin B1 (thiamin). 3 Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). 4 Vitamin B3 (niacin). 5 Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). 6 Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). 7 Vitamin B7 (biotin). <P> Nearly all nutrients that are classified as vitamins are obtained through dietary means, which is indicative of the term essential, because the body cannot synthesize these compounds. There are only a few vitamins that are considered nonessential because the body is capable of synthesizing these nutrients. Vitamins are biological nutrients that are required for a number of cellular and tissue-specific processes in your body. Vitamins are primarily attained from your dietary intake, with different vitamins originating from different types of food sources. <P> Essential and non essential nutrients make up all of the vitamins, acids, fats, and minerals that a living body needs to be healthy. The way we create or obtain the correct amount of each is very different, as well as which particular nutrients fit into which category. Unlike what the names may lead you to believe, both essential and non essential nutrients are needed by the body. The difference between the two are the process in which they are obtained. With essential nutrients, the needed vitamins and minerals must be supplemented because they are not made naturally <P> Latest Edit: Iva 2012-8-05 (EDT). Non-essential nutrients are those nutrients that can be made by the body. They may also be absorbed from food. Non-essential nutrients are still required in order to maintain and achieve health. Excesses or deficiencies of these nutrients can lead to disease. 1 Non-essential amino acids are those amino acids that can generally be synthesized from the diet, assuming that the essential amino acids are present in sufficient quantities. <P> Nutrients 101: Essential and Non-Essential Nutrients Explained. Every day you consume food to nourish and fuel your body, as eating many different nutrients that are essential to maintaining optimal health. These are called essential nutrients and include vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. However, some nutrients are made in the human body, and these are called non-essential nutrients. Although termed non-essential, they are still required by the body for supporting daily bodily processes. Vitamins.

An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal human body function that either cannot be synthesized by the body at all, or cannot be synthesized in amounts adequate for good health (e.g., niacin, choline), and thus must be obtained from a dietary source. | Vitamin D |
what is huipil | <P> The garment is common among the various Mayan groups. For Mayan women in Guatemala, huipil designs on the front back and shoulders can identify which type of Maya and from what community. Mayan ceremonial huipils are worn only by the statues of saints and the wives of religious officials. The huipil endures in many indigenous communities, if not as an everyday garment, as one for ceremonies or special occasions. When a woman puts on a huipil, especially a ceremonial or very traditional one, it is a kind of ritual. She becomes the center of a symbolic world as her head passes through the neck opening. <P> Share this: Tweet. Known for its fascinating patterns and vibrant colors, a Huipil (pronounced wee-peel) is an embroidered blouse worn by indigenous women in Guatemala. To complete the traje, they often combine Huipil with a corte, a traditional, long Mayan skirt, which they weave on a hand loom. To secure the corte, they wear a faja (belt). Generally handwoven and embroidered, a faja can range anywhere from 6 to 9 feet long and vary in complexity. <P> Origin of HUIPIL. Mexican Spanish, from Nahuatl huipilli. This word doesn't usually appear in our free dictionary, but the definition from our premium Unabridged Dictionary is offered here on a limited basis. Note that some information is displayed differently in the Unabridged. <P> Clothing is of great cultural significance to the Mayan, and the huipil is the most prevalent part of a woman’s traditional dress. The weave or design of each huipil can identify her individual personality and the village she is from, as well as her marital, social, wealth, and religious status. Guatemalan women have hand-woven their clothing on a back strap loom for centuries and pass along the tradition through the years. They start with raw wool or cotton that they wash, comb and spin. Then they stretch the threads along a warping board and attach it to the loom. <P> What is a Huipil. Humble Hilo incorporates intricate and culturally rich Guatemalan textiles into our products, while also creating job opportunities for impoverished Maya families. The materials we use in our products are literally pieces of art and deeply entrenched in the Guatemalan culture. Above is one of the women employed by Humble Hilo-it typically takes her 3-4 months to create a traditional huipil top! She has memorized thousands of patterns, calling this, mi don (my gift). <P> The huipil has been worn by indigenous women of the Mesoamerican region (central Mexico into Central America) of both high and low social rank since well before the arrival of the Spanish to the Americas. It remains the most common female indigenous garment still in use. The huipil endures in many indigenous communities, if not as an everyday garment, as one for ceremonies or special occasions.

what medication is used for rosacea | <P> Below is a list of common medications used to treat or reduce the symptoms of Acne Rosacea. Follow the links to read common uses, side effects, dosage details and read user reviews for the drugs listed below. <P> Topical metronidazole is commonly used as a first-line agent. Topical azelaic acid, sulfacetamide products, and topical acne medications are also commonly used. Topical and oral antibiotics are also very effective, and for oral rosacea, they are usually considered as a first-line therapy. Retinoids are advocated by some authorities. A topical form of the alpha-2 agonist brimonidine was approved by the FDA in August 2013 for treatment of erythema associated with rosacea. <P> Oral medications, particularly antibiotics, are usually a first-line treatment for rosacea once acne-like papules and pustules appear. These drugs are typically prescribed in conjunction with topical medications, lifestyle changes, and laser and/or light therapy. The most common oral antibiotics prescribed for rosacea include tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline. Because oral antibiotics can produce unwanted side effects, including an upset stomach and diarrhea, and because of the dangers of bacterial resistance, their long-term use is not recommended. <P> Treatments for rosacea. Rosacea is a common skin condition causing flushing, redness, red pimples and pustules on the face, and should not be confused with acne. Dilated blood vessels may appear near the surface of the skin (telangiectasia). It can also cause inflammation of the eyes or eyelids, or both (ocular rosacea). <P> If your symptoms are more severe, an oral antibiotic medication may be recommended as these can help reduce inflammation of the skin. Antibiotics often used to treat rosacea include tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline and erythromycin. These medications are usually taken for four to six weeks, but longer courses may be necessary if the spots are persistent. Common side effects of these medications include: 1 feeling and being sick. 2 diarrhoea. <P> However, the redness and flushing are less likely to improve. Medication for acne is effective in about three-quarters of affected people within a few months after starting treatment. Some people also find that antibiotic rosacea treatment not only relieves their acne, but also decreases facial redness. For people with more severe cases, doctors often prescribe an antibiotic that is taken by mouth, such as tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, or doxycycline. The papules (pink bumps) and pustules (bumps filled with pus) symptomatic of rosacea may respond quickly to this <P> Rosacea drug treatment can become more difficult if the condition is allowed to progress. There are several types of drugs for the treatment of rosacea. The use of antibiotic creams and pills to lessen the redness on the face and swelling in the eyes is one of the methods for the treatment of rosacea. However, overuse of oral antibiotics for a long period can have side effects. 1. Antibiotics: Antibiotics are the most common rosacea drugs. Doctors prescribe antibiotics in the form of pills or creams. If the condition is severe, doctors prescribe pills along with cream. Oral antibiotics work faster than topical creams, so doctors usually prescribe these for quick relief. <P> Treatment for Mild Rosacea. Symptoms of the first subtype of rosacea, erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, are flushing, facial redness, and sometimes visible blood vessels. This stage is difficult to treat with medication, so patients are urged to avoid triggers that can irritate the skin. Doctors often use oral and topical medications at the same time to get quicker results, and then switch patients to a single therapy to prevent flare-ups. Treatment for Severe Rosacea. In phymatous rosacea, the third subtype of rosacea, the major problem is skin thickening and enlargement, especially around the nose. <P> Medicine Used for Mild Rosacea. For mild cases of rosacea, doctors may prescribe a topical antibiotic, such as benzoyl peroxide or metronidazole, that is applied directly to the affected skin once or twice daily. Doctors may also prescribe azelaic acid cream for mild rosacea. For severe cases of rosacea, doctors often prescribe an antibiotic taken by mouth, such as tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin, or doxycycline. The papules (pink bumps) and pustules (bumps with pus inside) symptomatic of rosacea will usually respond quickly to this type of medication. | Topical metronidazole is commonly used as a first-line agent. Topical azelaic acid, sulfacetamide products, and topical acne medications are also commonly used. Topical and oral antibiotics are also very effective, and for oral rosacea, they are usually considered as a first-line therapy. |
what is the origin of the mazurka | <P> Share to: mazurka, Polish mazurek, Polish folk dance for a circle of couples, characterized by stamping feet and clicking heels and traditionally danced to the music of bagpipes. <P> History of the Mazurka. Mazurka is the national dance of Poland, and a mazurka rhythm is also the. nation’s national anthem. Today mazurka is most widely recognized in its. ballet adaptations on stage and in folk dance performances, but it was. <P> The folk origins of the mazurek are two other Polish musical forms—the slow kujawiak, and the fast oberek. The mazurek is always found to have either a triplet, trill, dotted eighth note (quaver) pair, or an ordinary eighth note pair before two quarter notes (crotchets). <P> mazurka, Polish mazurek, Polish folk dance for a circle of couples, characterized by stamping feet and clicking heels and traditionally danced to the music of bagpipes. The mu … sic is in 3/4 time with a forceful accent on the second beat. <P> Mazurka Boholana is a traditional dance that was performed in feasts and became popular in the provice of Bohol and in the other places on the Spanish era. <P> The mazurka (in Polish, mazurek) is a Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, and with accent on the second or third beat. <P> Note: Unfortunately, many sources, including Wikipedia, state that in the Polish language mazurka is the feminine form of mazurek, or that mazurka means Masovian woman in modern Polish. But since Mazurka as a dance is a Russian word, it's meaning in Polish is an unrelated and irrelevant etymology. | The folk origins of the mazurek are two other Polish musical forms—the slow kujawiak, and the fast oberek. |

what is a cantilever beam | <P> A schematic image of three types of cantilever. The top example has a full moment connection (like a horizontal flag pole bolted to the side of a building). The middle example is created by an extension of a simple supported beam (such as the way a diving-board is anchored and extends over the edge of a swimming pool). The second is the formula relating the cantilever spring constant to the cantilever dimensions and material constants: where is force and is the cantilever width. The spring constant is related to the cantilever resonance frequency by the usual harmonic oscillator formula. <P> can·ti·le·ver. n. 1. A projecting structure, such as a beam, that is supported at one end and carries a load at the other end or along its length. 2. A member, such as a beam, that projects beyond a fulcrum and is supported by a balancing member or a downward force behind the fulcrum. 3. A bracket or block supporting a balcony or cornice. <P> The most common current wing design is the cantilever. A single large beam, called the main spar, runs through the wing, typically nearer the leading edge at about 25 percent of the total chord. In flight, the wings generate lift, and the wing spars are designed to carry this load through the fuselage to the other wing. The second is the formula relating the cantilever spring constant to the cantilever dimensions and material constants: where is force and is the cantilever width. The spring constant is related to the cantilever resonance frequency by the usual harmonic oscillator formula. <P> A cantilever is a rigid structural element, such as a beam or a plate, anchored at only one end to a (usually vertical) support from which it is protruding.

The spring constant is related to the cantilever resonance frequency by the usual harmonic oscillator formula. <P> 4.5k Views. A cantilever is a beam anchored at only one end. The beam carries the. load to the support where it is forced against by a moment and shear stress. Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs. Main advantages are:-. A cantilever beam is fixed to the support at one end and free at the other end. Advantages:-. 1) very simple to construct. 2) only one fixed support is required. disadvantages:-. 1) when the beam is loaded at one end, the moment at the fixed end is higher, if more load is applied, it can break free from the support. <P> A cantilever is a beam supported on only one end. The beam transfers the load to the support where it has manage the moment of force and shear stress. Moment of force is the tendency of a force to twist or rotate an object.

why inflation can be harmful to an economy | <P> Too much inflation will ruin the economy but small levels of inflation will spur growth. Inflation is very harmful to any economy because it can ruin the economy's development and growth and this is not suppose to be. This is not really good in the sense that it shows the economy is stagnant/not growing. This may turn a … way the investors. Mild inflation is basically low rate of inflation around 2% to 3%. Mild inflation shows that an economy is stable and indicates economic growth. <P> Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Inflation can be harmful if individuals' incomes do not increase at the same rate as rising prices, because then the consumers buy less. Economic contraction is harmful because companies begin to lay off workers, and the economy slows down. <P> Finally, inflation is a sign that an economy is growing. In some situations, little inflation (or even deflation) can be just as bad as high inflation. The lack of inflation may be an indication that the economy is weakening. Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the general level of prices for goods and services. It is measured as an annual percentage increase. As inflation rises, every dollar you own buys a smaller percentage of a good or service. <P> Price inflation occurs when average prices are rising above this low and predictable rate, and price deflation occurs when average prices are falling. In both cases, the effects are potentially extremely harmful to a country’s economic performance and to the welfare of its citizens. <P> Inflation is also very harmful to any economy because the people living in that economy might not survive the situation and this is when you see that an economy is affected and if nothing is done to it, it can cause an economy to collapse. This is not really good in the sense that it shows the economy is stagnant/not growing. This may turn a … way the investors. Mild inflation is basically low rate of inflation around 2% to 3%. Mild inflation shows that an economy is stable and indicates economic growth. <P> 1 If inflation is caused by unsustainable economic growth then the boom may be followed by a recession. 2 To reduce inflation and keep inflation withinthe target, the B of E will have to increase interest rates; this causes problems because AD will fall causing lower growth. 1 To reduce inflation and keep inflation withinthe target, the B of E will have to increase interest rates; this causes problems because AD will fall causing lower growth. 2 Higher rates of inflation are disliked by business because it makes it more difficult to predict future costs. 3 Therefore investment will be lower. <P> But high inflation is less beneficial. High inflation can cause the population’s confidence in their own currency and economy to decline, and it can be less appealing for foreign investors to invest in the country concerned. High inflation therefore often has a harmful effect on economic growth. If inflation gets too high, a country’s central bank will often intervene by raising its interest rates and thus discourage the creation of money. The opposite of inflation is deflation. With deflation the real price level falls. <P> 1 Deflation can cause problems for the economy. 2 It means that those who have debts will see the real value of debts increase, this will lead to lower consumer confidence and possibly lower AD and economic growth. 3 Deflation makes monetary policy ineffective. 4 This is because interest rates cannot be reduced below 0%. 1 To reduce inflation and keep inflation withinthe target, the B of E will have to increase interest rates; this causes problems because AD will fall causing lower growth. 2 Higher rates of inflation are disliked by business because it makes it more difficult to predict future costs. 3 Therefore investment will be lower. <P> Second, deflation raises the inflation-adjusted interest rate, and that can cause consumers to spend less on durables like cars, appliances and houses that are purchased with credit. Rising inflation-adjusted interest rates also increase the cost of borrowing and can depress business investment. Finally, it's important to note that outright deflation isn't required for these problems to emerge. Disinflation -- when inflation rates are above zero but declining -- can also be troublesome. Central bankers have an aversion to inflation. Indeed, it seems to be a requirement for the job. <P> 1 If inflation is high there will be a devaluation of the exchange rate, This is something the govt wishes to avoid as it creates uncertainty amongst business and lower purchasing power of Sterling abroad. 2 Higher rates of inflation may cause menu costs, which means firms have to change price lists quite often. 1 To reduce inflation and keep inflation withinthe target, the B of E will have to increase interest rates; this causes problems because AD will fall causing lower growth. 2 Higher rates of inflation are disliked by business because it makes it more difficult to predict future costs. 3 Therefore investment will be lower. | Because the people living in that economy might not survive the situation and this is when you see that an economy is affected and if nothing is done to it, it can cause an economy to collapse. |

what is intracellular replication | <P> Virus Replication. Viruses are intracellular obligate parasites which means that they cannot replicate or express their genes without the help of a living cell. A single virus particle (virion) is in and of itself essentially inert. It lacks needed components that cells have to reproduce. <P> L. innocua, which is non-invasive, was also shown to replicate in the cytosol of the epitheloid Caco-2 cell line when the bacteria harboured the hly gene and the host cells were treated with the necrotising toxin of E. coli [37] . This necrotising toxin induces phagocytosis by normally non-phagocytic mammalian cells. All of the bacteria possessing the ability to escape from the phagocytic vacuole described above will efficiently replicate in the host cell cytosol, regardless of whether the host cells are phagocytes or non-phagocytic cells. <P> It is used in contrast to extracellular (outside the cell). The cell membrane (and, in many organisms, the cell wall) is the barrier between the two, and chemical composition of intra-and extracellular milieu (Milieu interieur) intérieur can be radically. different <P> Viral replication is the formation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. Viruses must first get into the cell before viral replication can occur. From the perspective of the virus, the purpose of viral replication is to allow production and survival of its kind. <P> Although the molecular details in the uptake mechanism differ among intracellular bacteria, the first event following the specific interaction between the bacterial cell and the host cell is always the formation of a primary phagosome. All of the bacteria possessing the ability to escape from the phagocytic vacuole described above will efficiently replicate in the host cell cytosol, regardless of whether the host cells are phagocytes or non-phagocytic cells. <P> Abstract. Viruses are intracellular parasites that use the host cell they infect to produce new infectious progeny. Distinct steps of the virus life cycle occur in association with the cytoskeleton or cytoplasmic membranes, which are often modified during infection. Plus-stranded RNA viruses induce membrane proliferations that support the replication of their genomes. <P> it is inhaled from livestock and pets, its virulence is intracellular replication, resistance of lysosomal degradation & formation of immune complexes in chronic disease. acute symptoms include 20d incubation, sudden onset of headache, chills, mild respir, 50% have hepatosplenomelagy. Definition. trachoma, urogenital infections, and reiter's disease. it is transferred sexually, at birth, or via breaks in skin or mucous membranes. its virulence factors are intracellular replication and prevention of phagolysosomal fusion. <P> The type of genome also dictates where the virus will replicate. Viruses that are RNA often replicate in the cytoplasm, while DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus. A DNA virus won't have an RNA polymerase gene to mediate transcription, so it has to be in the nucleus – where the host RNA polymerase is. That being said, some viruses, including influenza, enter and replicate in the nucleus because they require splicing enzymes for replication. Virus replication usually occurs in two stages: early and late. These two stages are defined by the types of viral proteins made in each stage. <P> Intracellular bacteria in mammalian host cells can either live in a membrane-bound vacuole modified to support bacterial growth, or escape from the primary phagosome into the host cell cytoplasm. All of the bacteria possessing the ability to escape from the phagocytic vacuole described above will efficiently replicate in the host cell cytosol, regardless of whether the host cells are phagocytes or non-phagocytic cells. <P> Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, which means they have to live inside of a host and steal hosts enzymes to allow replication, like when aliens inhabit the bodies of politicians and run for office… it happens.

examples for distillation | <P> Distillation. Photo by: TMakotra. Distillation is a technique by which two or more substances with different boiling points can be separated from each other. For example, fresh water can be obtained from seawater (water that contains salts) by distillation. When seawater is heated, water turns into a vapor that can be condensed and captured. <P> During evaporation, the substance changes from a liquid to a gas, with an example being water turning into water vapor. Distillation is a man-made process that uses two phase changes. First a liquid evaporates, and the formed vapors then condense back into liquids again. <P> Definition: Distillation is the technique of heating a liquid to create vapor which is collected when cooled separate from the original liquid. Examples: Pure water can be separated from salt water through distillation. Salt water is boiled to create water steam, but the salt remains in the solution. <P> Distillation Process.

In A Midsummer Night's Dream why are they called mechanicals | <P> Hi Ben, The mechanicals in Midsummer Night's Dream are called that because, aside from being amateur actors, they are primarily a group of skilled manual laborers or artisans: Peter Quince, the carpenter. <P> One important point of significance of The Mechanicals in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is that they compound the underlying irony that forms the foundation for the entire play, irony and festive foolishness as is befitting of the Midsummer festival the play is named after. <P> (Answer #1). The role of the mechanicals is to support two of Shakespeare's central themes in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The two themes are the foolishness of mankind and reality vs. illusion. We especially see the mechanicals presenting the theme of foolishness in Puck's reaction to their rehearsal. The mechanicals also serve the role of portraying the theme illusion vs. reality. The mechanicals have an illusion of putting on a grand performance, but the reality is, as we see, that they are too uneducated and too unskilled. <P> Robin Starveling (Tailor) - Originally cast in the role of Thisbe's mother, Starveling actually goes on to play the part of 'Moonshine', and creates one of the most humorous moments of A Midusmmer Night's Dream, when he attempts to portray the moon with a lantern. And yet another rival for Elizabeth's love, Francois Alencon may also be indicated by the character of Francis Flute. Of course, whether these men were really on Shakespeare's mind as he wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream, we'll never know. <P> 1 The Mechanicals in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are a group of craftsmen who have been chosen to perform a play at the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. Mechanicals. 1 The Mechanicals in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are a group of craftsmen who have been chosen to perform a play at the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. <P> 'Rude Mechanicals' isn't just a cool name for a band. In fact, the phrase refers to a specific group of characters in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The rude mechanicals are skilled laborers, or craftsmen, from Athens who want to put on a play for the city's royalty. There are six members in this group. The rude mechanicals enter to perform their play. Because this play is happening within a larger play (A Midsummer Night's Dream), this is called a play-within-a-play. Thanks to Bottom's 'improvements,' the play is a long, overdramatic mess. <P> All three strands of A Midsummer Night's Dream's plot are humorous and, often, ridiculous. However, the foolish Rude Mechanicals with their bastardisation of Pyramus and Thisbe really do take the cake. What's really unusual about the Mechanicals is that they're incredibly dense. And yet another rival for Elizabeth's love, Francois Alencon may also be indicated by the character of Francis Flute. Of course, whether these men were really on Shakespeare's mind as he wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream, we'll never know. <P> William Shakespeare has purposely chosen to have the ‘rude mechanicals’ perform Pyramus and Thisbe within his play of A Midsummer Night’s Dream for a comedic effect as they are characters which both a modern day audience and an Elizabethan audience would laugh at rather than laugh with. It can be argued that Shakespeare is mocking his own profession through choosing the mechanicals to perform Pyramus and Thisbe. Shakespeare makes a mockery of the lower class Elizabethans, in a light-hearted way, through the use of the ‘rude mechanicals’. <P> The members of the group are Quince, the carpenter; Snug, the joiner; Bottom, the weaver; Flute, the bellows-mender; Snout, the tinker; and Starveling the tailor. Because the rude mechanicals' play happens inside of a bigger play (A Midsummer Night's Dream), it is called a play-within-a-play. The rude mechanicals enter to perform their play.

The word pizza is Italian for pie, but how that word wound up in Italian boggles etymologists.

The precursor of pizza was probably the focaccia, a flat bread known to the Romans as panis focacius, to which toppings were then added. Pizza is now a type of bread and tomato dish, often served with cheese. However, until the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, the dish was sweet, not savory, and earlier versions which were savory more resembled the flat breads now known as schiacciata. <P> The origin of the word pizza is uncertain. The term pizza first appeared in a Latin text from the southern Italian town of Gaeta in 997 AD, which states that a tenant of certain property is to give the bishop of Gaeta duodecim pizze (twelve pizzas) every Christmas Day, and another twelve every Easter Sunday.

how long does ssi have to make a initial decision | <P> The length of time it takes to make a disability determination depends on a broad range of variables, including how many times you have to go through the disability process (initial claim, reconsideration, and hearing). If your initial disability application is denied, you must appeal your denial by filing a request for reconsideration appeal. Your reconsideration appeal takes about sixty days to receive a decision. <P> When a claim for Social Security disability benefits is denied at the initial level, you may request reconsideration. Your case is sent to a different disability examiner for a new decision. Unfortunately, about 85-90% of the time the reconsideration decision is the same as the initial decision — a denial. <P> Each level of the process takes time and there is no guarantee that you will be approved on your first claim. Average decision waits at each level For instance, it takes anywhere from thirty to ninety days to get a decision on your initial disability claim. If your initial disability application is denied, you must appeal your denial by filing a request for reconsideration appeal.

what is sales check average mean | <P> Measuring Average or Central Tendency in Excel. Mathematically, there are a number of ways of measuring central tendency or, as it is more commonly called, the average for a set of values. These methods include the arithmetic mean, the median, and the mode. The most commonly calculated measure of central tendency is the arithmetic mean-or simple average-and it is calculated by adding a group of numbers together and then dividing by the count of those numbers. For example, the average of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, and 10 is 30 divided by 6, which is 5. <P> An average is just one measure of central tendency for any set of data. Another measure is a median. For our wage data, the median wage (or net compensation) is the wage in the middle.. That is, half of the workers earned below this level. The table below shows that the median wage is substantially less than the average wage. <P> 1 If it is required to use a single number as a typical value for a set of known numbers, then the arithmetic mean of the numbers does this best, in the sense of minimizing the sum of squared deviations from the typical value: the sum of. 1 If numbers have mean, then. 2 Since is the distance from a given number to the mean, one way to interpret this property is as saying that the numbers to the left of the mean are balanced by the numbers to the right of the mean. <P> Averaging adds up property prices in a list and divides by the number of properties. The median price is the figure in the middle of a range of numbers arranged from lowest to highest. So, if you have 11 properties, the median price would be the price of the 6th property from lowest to highest. There will be five properties below it in value and five properties above it in value. Median and average prices can be quite similar if the prices form an even range from high to low <P> For example, the average of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, and 10 is 30 divided by 6, which is 5. Median, which is the middle number of a group of numbers; that is, half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half the numbers have values that are less than the median. <P> In the case of the median,it is the middle number in a group of numbers. Half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half the numbers have values that are less than the median. For example, the median for the range: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is 4. To make it easier to measure central tendency, Excel has a number of functions that will calculate the more commonly used average values. These include: 1 The MEDIAN function-finds the median or middle value in a list of numbers. <P> Average check is the average amount of consumption of one customer. It is computed as: Average check = Total sales / Total covers. The average check is expected to increase when menu prices increase and when the servers exert more efforts in the menu merchandising. * but for new restaurants without sales figures yet,one can roughly estimate the average check based on the average price of dishes. <P> Median. To calculate the median, you will first have to order the data from lowest to highest. The median is the number exactly in the middle. If the sample size, n, is even, then the median is the average of the two middle numbers. Definition: The median is that number for which half the data is larger than it, and half the data is smaller <P> 20. 23. 26. Since there is an even number of observations (12), the median is exactly in between the 6th and 7th ordered numbers, or, the average of 10 and 10. The median is 10.0 minutes. Half of the time, the sample wait was more than 10 minutes, and half of the time it was less. To calculate the median, you will first have to order the data from lowest to highest.
