how many years to become a gastroenterologist | <P> To become a gastroenterologist, one is required to obtain a bachelor’s degree, complete an accredited medical degree program, undertake three years of residency training in internal medicine and then undertake an additional 2 -3 years fellowship training in gastroenterology. The average median gastroenterologist salary in the United States is reported to be about $335,000 per year or about $161 per hour. The lowest 10th percentile of the profession reported wages of $235,000 or less per year which is about $113 or less per hour <P> Gastroenterology Salary. The average median gastroenterologist salary in the United States is reported to be about $335,000 per year or about $161 per hour. The lowest 10th percentile of the profession reported wages of $235,000 or less per year which is about $113 or less per hour <P> A gastroenterologist is a doctor with a specialty. This means 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. A gastroenterologist would also need a medical license. Once you get a masters, then you typically have to work about 3,000 hours(or about 2 years) of supervised work under a licensed practitioner. From here, then you should be eligible to take a state (and in some cases a national exam) to be licensed as a whatever your degree is in therapist.. <P> The middle 50% of gastroenterologists reported a salary between $282,000 and $401,000 per year or $136 and $192 per hour. Many factors determine how much a gastroenterologist will make. Their earnings will depend on years of experience, geographical location of work, type of establishment and skill level. The average median gastroenterologist salary in the United States is reported to be about $335,000 per year or about $161 per hour. The lowest 10th percentile of the profession reported wages of $235,000 or less per year which is about $113 or less per hour <P> Training Requirements. To qualify a gastroenterologist, you will have to first complete a 4 year medical school program and receive either an M.D. or a D.O. You will then need to complete a 2 to 3 year residency program, typically in internal medicine. <P> Step 6: Complete a Gastroenterology Fellowship. A 3-year fellowship is the final step in the student's education in preparation for becoming a gastroenterologist. This includes at least 18 months of patient-care experience. Step 7: Become Board-Certified. One way to advance a gastroenterology career is to become board certified. Although board certification is not a requirement to practice, most gastroenterologists elect to become certified in their specialty by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). <P> Best Answer: In the US, you must complete 4 years of medical school. Then you must complete an internal medicine residency, which is usually 3 years. Then you must complete a gastroenterology fellowship, which is usually another 3 years. You may enter medical school without completing college, but this is unusual. After medical school you apply to residencies. A residency usually lasts around 5 years depending on which route you take. For instance, you could do an internal medicine residency then do a fellowship in gastroenterology. <P> You must complete four years and get a medical degree. If you pick gastroenterology as your specialty, prepare to focus on internal medicine. Complete a 3-year residency in internal medicine. You must have a general knowledge of how all the organs of the body function and relate to each other. Participate in a 2 to 3-year fellowship program. You must get on-the-job training in evaluating and managing digestive tract disorders <P> 1 Once you have finished medical school there are 2-3 years of residency training in internal medicine to give the student an in-depth experience in the internal workings of the body. 2 This is done to prepare them for the advanced training that is needed to become a gastroenterologist. In Canada the average yearly salary for a gastroenterologist is $208,800. In the UK, as with many other medical professions there, what a gastroenterologist makes on average each year is based on what their age is. If you are in your twenties, your average yearly salary would be $82,500. | First complete a 4 year medical school program and You will then need to complete a 2 to 3 year residency programtypically in internal medicine. |
what kind of soil is in the tropical rainforest | <P> Tropical Rainforest Plants & Soil. The phrase tropical rainforest conjures up images of lush, thick vegetation. That is an accurate perception, but relatively few tropical plants actually spring from the soil. Instead, the overwhelming majority of tropical rainforest plants live in trees. <P> Tropical Rainforest The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome found near Earth's equator. The world's largest tropical rainforests are in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests receive from 60 to 160 inches of precipitation that is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. <P> More recent volcanic soils, however, can be very fertile. Tropical rain forest soils contain less organic matter than temperate forests and most of the available nutrients are found in the living plant and animal material. Nutrients in the soil are often in forms that are not accessible by plants. Constant warmth and moisture promote rapid decay of organic matter. <P> Soils. The bulk of the world's tropical rainforests, including the Amazon, contain laterite soils. Such soils lack nutrients and are very acidic. Many tropical rainforest soils lack minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, making them old soils in the sense that they have no new nutrients. An abundance of iron and aluminum oxide gives tropical rainforest soils its red or yellow coloring. The phrase tropical rainforest conjures up images of lush, thick vegetation. That is an accurate perception, but relatively few tropical plants actually spring from the soil. Instead, the overwhelming majority of tropical rainforest plants live in trees. <P> A tropical rainforest is a biome type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). <P> Winter is absent in these forests. Most tropical rainforests receive 100 inches of rain per year. Soil: Because the temperature is warm and the air moist, decomposition happens at a very fast rate in tropical rainforests. Soil: The soil in these forests is very fertile. Plants: The forest floor in temperate deciduous forests supports mosses, ferns and wildflowers and the understory supports a variety of shrubs and ferns. Maple, oak and birch trees are some examples of the deciduous trees that dominate <P> The Tropical Rainforest. The tropical rainforest is a forest type that captures huge attention from the public. It is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating interactions between climate, vegetation and organisms, and soil that exists in the world today. The rainforests which previously occupied up to 24 million square kilometres today occupy only some 10 million square kilometres on either side of the equator. The tropical rainforest is often in the news for various reasons. There are major concerns about deforestation of it and the consequent damage to the soil. From a soil point of view, cutting down of the rainforest disturbs the natural soil-plant cycle and makes the soils extremely vulnerable to soil. <P> The soil in the tropical rain forest is very nutrient poor. It's poor because the topsoil is only one to two inches thick and the soil beneath it is mostly clay and rocks. It … also has been here for millions of years so the soil gas taken quite a beating. Plus, when it rains the water washes away all the minerals. Soil fertility in tropical rainforest soils is low. This is because of the warm climate and the availability of water, both of which increase microbial activity, chemical reaction times, and the leaching of soluble soil constituents. <P> Soil of Tropical Rainforest. The soil found in the tropical rainforest is very nutrient poor. This is due to the many decomposers and plants in need of any nutrients available, so they don't stay in the soil for long. The rain has left it acidic and lacking in minerals. The topsoil is very thin at only 1 to 2 inches deep | The soil found in the tropical rainforest is very nutrient poor. |
what is severe tricompartmental osteoarthritis | <P> Osteoarthritis of the Knee. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability in the knee joint. In the knee joint, the end of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) are covered in smooth articulate cartilage. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include joint pain with activity, night pain, morning stiffness, limited motion, joint inflammation, crepitus or noise from the knee, and deformity. Below are pictures of osteoarthritis in a knee joint. There are several options in treating osteoarthritis, both surgical and nonsurgical. <P> Osteoarthritis, commonly known as wear-and-tear arthritis, is a condition in which the natural cushioning between joints -- cartilage -- wears away. When this happens, the bones of the joints rub more closely against one another with less of the shock-absorbing benefits of cartilage. 1 In fact, weak muscles around the knee can lead to osteoarthritis. 2 Other illnesse s. 3 People with rheumatoid arthritis, the second most common type of arthritis, are also more likely to develop <P> Outcomes for most people with osteoarthritis are good. OA is the most common form of arthritis with disease of the knee and hip affecting about 3.8% of people as of 2010. Among those over 60 years old about 10% of males and 18% of females are affected. It is the cause of about 2% of years lived with disability <P> A. Arthritis is a general term that means inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis, commonly known as wear and tear arthritis, is the most common type of arthritis. It is associated with a breakdown of cartilage in joints and can occur in almost any joint in the body. It commonly occurs in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees, and spine. <P> Introduction of Arthritis in the Knee. Arthritis in the knee is a condition that affects more than four million Americans annually, occurs when degenerative changes develop in the cartilage that lines the knee joint. <P> Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. While it can occur even in young people, the chance of developing osteoarthritis rises after age 45. According to the Arthritis Foundation, more than 27 million people in the U.S. have osteoarthritis, with the knee being one of the most commonly affected areas. 1 In fact, weak muscles around the knee can lead to osteoarthritis. 2 Other illnesse s. 3 People with rheumatoid arthritis, the second most common type of arthritis, are also more likely to develop <P> Consensus is that total knee replacement is the most clinically effective treatment for severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Unicompartmental knee replacement may be more effective in the long term than tricompartmental knee replacement. <P> Tricompartmental arthritis involves all three of the anatomical compartments of the knee joint. It can cause significant joint pain and stiffness, as well as instability; it tends to be more common in older adults, because it represents an advanced progression of disease. Surgically, one of the best options for tricompartmental arthritis can be a full knee replacement. Medical professionals typically only recommend surgery when other options are no longer viable because the joint is too degenerated, and replacing it may be the most efficient choice. <P> 1 People with rheumatoid arthritis, the second most common type of arthritis, are also more likely to develop osteoarthritis. 2 People with certain metabolic disorders, such as iron overload or excess growth hormone, also run a higher risk of osteoarthritis. 1 In fact, weak muscles around the knee can lead to osteoarthritis. 2 Other illnesse s. 3 | Consensus is that total knee replacement is the most clinically effective treatment for severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Uni-compartmental knee replacement may be more effective in the long term than tricompartmental knee replacement. |

As you know, none of these is the sum total of a concrete patio cost. +The average cost of stamped concrete is $9-$13 per square foot. +The average cost of installing a concrete slab is $6 - $10 <P> The overall cost of a concrete patio depends on the design and size of the patio. Prices usually start at around $6 per square foot up to $10 per square foot for a basic design without any colors or special designs. Adding colors or a pattern to the design can increase the price to $15 per square foot. <P> However, depending on the materials, size, and quality of your patio, the cost can vary greatly. By properly estimating the cost of a concrete patio, you can save time and money on your project. Here's are some factors and tips on how to estimate the cost. <P> A concrete patio costs less than patios made of stone, brick, or tile. The simple truth is that patios made of natural materials are usually higher priced and require more intensive labor to install. Some concrete contractors estimate that a stamped concrete patio costs one-third less than the cost of other materials. The lower price tag combined with the wide array of patterns and colors available are some of the main draws of choosing a concrete patio. Below is a breakdown of the average patio price. | $6 to $10 per square foot |
average pay for a airline pilot | <P> Pilots flying for American airlines, who earn by flight hours, fly 72 hours per month on average. The Federal Aviation Administration also limits commercial airline pilots to no more than 100 flight hours in a 28-day period. <P> Corvus, an airline with about 86 pilots, has the highest average pay for the regional category at $97.25 an hour. Horizon Air ($88.61), Compass ($85.22), Air Wisconsin ($81.44), PSA ($80.79), GoJet ($78.93) and Trans States Airlines ($77.89) all pay an average above $75. <P> Captains. Senior pilots, called captains, earn considerably more than first officers. According to the 2009 FltOps salary survey, the average maximum pay for a captain across the airline industry was $165,278. JetBlue has the lowest maximum captain's salary, $123,400. <P> Starting Salaries. Airline pilot salaries start low at about $20,000 a year, and most airlines pay hourly. The average airline pilot logs 75 hours a month in the air and 150 hours a month performing ground duties. <P> Regional airlines pay much less, but pilots also fly smaller aircraft. On Island Air, a first officer makes $26 an hour the first year, $40 an hour the fifth year, and $43 an hour by year 10. Captains for the same airline earn $59 the first year, $66 by year five, and $78 in the tenth year. <P> According to data for 14 regional airlines, the average new pilot’s hourly wage is about $24 per hour, the report says. But the Air Line Pilots Association estimates that the average starting salary is even lower than that — $22,500 per year, which for a 40-hour work week equals an hourly rate of $10.75. <P> Delta pays their first year pilots, at the lowest, $173 an hour with the highest paid pilot hitting $263.00. Not every airline has a payscale that close, however. The lowest paid pilots at both U.S. Airways and American Airlines are making just $35 an hour while the highest is at $241.00. <P> Southwest has the highest pay rate for first year pilots out of the major airlines at $191. Allegiant and JetBlue pay first year pilots $131, though JetBlue has a higher pay rate for their top fliers at $189 compared to Allegiant's $153. <P> The Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, reports that airline pilots earned an average of $118,070 per year in 2011. The majority were employed by the scheduled air transportation industry and averaged $119,180 per year. | $22,500 per year. |
what are the frequencies of visible light | <P> Visible light has frequencies ranging from 4*10 14 Hz to 8*10 14 Hz (400 THz to 800 THz) and wavelengths from 3.8*10 -7 m to 7.5*10 -7 m (380 nm to 750 nm). Red light has the lowest frequency (longest wavelength) and violet light has the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) of visible light. <P> The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430–770 THz. <P> Visible light falls in the range of the EM spectrum between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV). It has frequencies of about 4 × 10 14 to 8 × 10 14 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz) and wavelengths of about 740 nanometers (nm) or 2.9 × 10 −5 inches, to 380 nm (1.5 × 10 −5 inches). <P> As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers. <P> This visible light region consists of a spectrum of wavelengths that range from approximately 700 nanometers (abbreviated nm) to approximately 400 nm. Expressed in more familiar units, the range of wavelengths extends from 7 x 10 -7 meter to 4 x 10 -7 meter. <P> Ultraviolet Light Ultraviolet (UV) light is light with higher frequency (lower wavelength) than visible light. UV light has frequencies ranging from 8*10 14 to 3*10 16 Hz (800 THz to 30 PHz) and wavelengths from 10 -8 m to 3.8*10 -7 m (10 nm to 380 nm). <P> Expressed in more familiar units, the range of wavelengths extends from 7 x 10-7 meter to 4 x 10-7 meter. This narrow band of visible light is affectionately known as ROYGBIV. Each individual wavelength within the spectrum of visible light wavelengths is representative of a particular color. <P> The term infrared refers to a broad range of frequencies, beginning at the top end of those frequencies used for communication and extending up the the low frequency (red) end of the visible spectrum. The wavelength range is from about 1 millimeter down to 750 nm. <P> The frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in space during any time interval, usually one second. We measure it in units of cycles (waves) per second, or hertz. The frequency of visible light is referred to as color, and ranges from 430 trillion hertz, seen as red, to 750 trillion hertz, seen as violet. | 4*10 14 Hz to 8*10 14 Hz. |

what does the sporophyte of an angiosperm plant consist of | <P> In flowering plants the gametophytes are very reduced in size, and are represented by the pollen and the embryo sac. The sporophyte produces spores (hence the name) by meiosis, a process also known as reduction division that reduces the number of chromosomes in each spore mother cell by half. In flowering plants, the sporophyte comprises the whole multicellular body except the pollen and embryo sac. Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte phase on which the adult sporophyte is dependent for nutrition. <P> Lesson Summary. 1 All plants have a life cycle with alternation of generations. 2 In nonvascular plants, the gametophyte generation is dominant. 3 In vascular plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. 4 In seed plants, the gametophyte generation takes place in a cone or flower, which forms on the mature sporophyte plant. The flower in Figure above is obviously an innovation in the angiosperm life cycle. Flowers form on the dominant sporophyte plant. They consist of highly specialized male and female reproductive organs. Flowers produce spores that develop into gametophytes. <P> A multicellular gametophyte, which is haploid with n chromosomes, alternates with a multicellular sporophyte, which is diploid with 2 n chromosomes, made up of n pairs. A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2 n to n. Land plants all have heteromorphic (anisomorphic) alternation of generations, in which the sporophyte and gametophyte are distinctly different. All bryophytes, i.e. liverworts, mosses and hornworts, have the gametophyte generation as the most conspicuous. As an illustration, consider a monoicous moss. <P> The Life Cycle of an Angiosperm. The life of an angiosperm alternates between diploid sporophyte and gametophyte generations. The angiosperm's male flowering parts, also called anthers, contains millions of microsporocytes. Microsporocytes divide through a process called meiosis to produce haploid microspores. <P> Some angiosperms are imperfect, having either microsporangia or megasporangia but not both. 1 Monoecious plants have both types of imperfect flower on the same plant. 2 Dioecious plants have imperfect flowers on separate plants; that is, some plants are male, some female. 1 Dioecious plants have imperfect flowers on separate plants; that is, some plants are male, some female. 2 Examples include willows, poplars, and the date palm. 3 Most dioecious plants use an X-Y system of of sex determination like that in mammals [ Link ]. <P> Gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are one of the two groups of seed plants. The flowering plants (angiosperms), are the other. In going from mosses and ferns to the seed plants, we see a very significant difference in plant life cycles. In mosses and ferns the propagating units for new individuals are spores. A major distinction we can make between seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) and the non-seed plants (mosses and ferns) is that seed plants are heterosporous and non-seed plants are homosporous. <P> 1 All plants have a life cycle with alternation of generations. 2 Plants alternate between diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations, and between sexual reproduction with gametes and asexual reproduction with spores. 3 In nonvascular plants, the gametophyte generation is dominant. The flower in Figure above is obviously an innovation in the angiosperm life cycle. Flowers form on the dominant sporophyte plant. They consist of highly specialized male and female reproductive organs. Flowers produce spores that develop into gametophytes. <P> Gymnosperms, therefore, as exemplified by pine trees, are heterosporous. A major distinction we can make between seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) and the non-seed plants (mosses and ferns) is that seed plants are heterosporous and non-seed plants are homosporous. <P> Young sporophytes of the common moss Tortula muralis. In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, while the sporophytes consist of sporangium-bearing stalks growing from the tips of the gametophytes. A sporophyte (/spɔːroʊˌfaɪt/) is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga. In flowering plants, the sporophyte comprises the whole multicellular body except the pollen and embryo sac. Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte phase on which the adult sporophyte is dependent for nutrition. | They consist of highly specialized male and female reproductive organs. |
what is another name for igneous rocks | <P> Lecture Notes-Petrology-Igneous Rock Names • Geologists have developed many classification schemes for igneous rocks. Most use texture,mineralogy, and chemistry (in that order) to determine a rock’s name. The first cut is toseparate coarse-grained (generally plutonic) from fine-grained (generally volcanic) rocks. <P> Granite and basalt are the most common types of igneous rock. Igneous rock types, or classifications, also include those that are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneo … us rock is formed from the solidification of slow cooling magma below the surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed for the solidification of rapidly cooling lava at or near the surface. 12 people found this useful. Alex Buckley. Confidence votes 3. To the people that are doing the Rock Worksheet the answer for problem #5 is in the paper but the answer is actually (what I put), Another name for igneous rocks is the rock of fire.. <P> Igneous rocks are rocks formed from the crystallization of a liquid (molten rock). Igneous rocks may be divided into two categories. Intrusive or plutonic rocks crystallize from magma beneath the earth's surface. Igneous Rocks. Of the three principal rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic), igneous rocks can be thought of as primary rocks because they crystallize from a liquid. Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which we will study later, may be thought of as derivative rocks. <P> Metamorphic rocks can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks. The sedimentary particles from which a sedimentary rock is formed can be derived from a metamorphic, an igneous, or another sedimentary rock. All three rock types can be melted to form a magma. <P> Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet, surrounded by pre-existing rock (called country rock); the magma cools slowly and, as a result, these rocks are coarse grained. The mineral grains in such rocks can generally be identified with the naked eye. The word igneous is derived from the Latin ignis, meaning of fire. Volcanic rocks are named after Vulcan, the Roman name for the god of fire. Intrusive rocks are also called plutonic rocks, named after Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. <P> On the other hand an Intrusive igneous rock cools very slowly beneath the surface and is created by magma. Since the cooling process is very slow intrusive igneous rocks have very large crystals (coarse grained). In some instances there is also a third type of igneous rock. Technically it is an extrusive rock, but it resembles glass. This glass type of igneous rock forms when magma/lava is instantly cooled. <P> Intrusive igneous rock is formed from solidified magma below the surface of the Earth. Intrusive rock exhibits a phaneritic texture, where the individual crystal grains are vi … sible without magnification. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, diorite, and gabbro. 1 Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma, are furt…. 2 An Introduction to the Mineral Biotite Mica and its Role in Geology Biotite mica is a common rock-forming mineral. 3 It belongs to a large group of minerals that are found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. <P> Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire) is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. This magma can be derived from partial melts of pre-existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust. The word igneous is derived from the Latin ignis, meaning of fire. Volcanic rocks are named after Vulcan, the Roman name for the god of fire. Intrusive rocks are also called plutonic rocks, named after Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. | rock of fire |
what is rectus diastasis | <P> Diastasis of this muscle occurs principally in two populations: newborns and pregnant women. It is also known to occur in men. 1 In the newborn, the rectus abdominis is not fully developed and may not be sealed together at midline. 2 Diastasis recti is more common in premature and black newborns. 1 Diastasis recti is more common in premature and black newborns. 2 In pregnant or postpartum women, the condition is caused by the stretching of the rectus abdominis by the growing uterus. <P> Separation of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the growing uterus stretches the muscles in the abdomen. This can cause the two large parallel bands of muscles that meet in the middle of the abdomen to separate — a condition called diastasis recti or diastasis recti abdominis. Diastasis recti might cause a bulge in the middle of the abdomen where the two muscles separate. The condition might be noticeable only when the abdominal muscles are tense, such as during coughing. <P> Diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation) is commonly defined as a gap of roughly 2.7 cm or greater between the two sides of the rectus abdominis muscle. This condition has no associated morbidity or mortality. 1 Diastasis recti is more common in premature and black newborns. 2 In pregnant or postpartum women, the condition is caused by the stretching of the rectus abdominis by the growing uterus. <P> Diastasis Recti is a separation of the rectus abdominus muscle. It is actually a stretching of the fascial attachments surrounding the rectus sheath as the muscles part or split. It is noticeable as a bulge in the midline of the abdominals when the trunk is flexed during pregnancy. During the post partum period this area presents as a gap in the rectus sheath. <P> Diastasis Recti, also referred to as ‘Divarication of the Recti’ or ‘Rectus Divarification’, is the widening of the gap between the 2 sections of the Rectus Abdominis (or 6 pack) abdominal muscle. <P> Diastasis means separation. Recti refers to your ab muscles called the rectus abdominis.. When the ab muscles move aside like this, the uterus, bowels, and other organs have only a thin band of connective tissue in front to hold them in place. Without the needed muscle support, a vaginal delivery could be more difficult <P> “ Diastasis recti ” means your belly sticks out because the space between your left and right belly muscles has widened. You might call it a “pooch.”. It's very common among pregnant women. About two-thirds of pregnant women have it. Recti refers to your ab muscles called the rectus abdominis.. When the ab muscles move aside like this, the uterus, bowels, and other organs have only a thin band of connective tissue in front to hold them in place. <P> Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is a condition in which the 2 sides of the abdominal muscle separate, as the tissue connecting them stretches. This typically happens in women during and following pregnancy due to the stretching of the abdominal wall, as the uterus expands. As the uterus expands, stretching across the rectus abdominis potentially could occur. In some cases, the weakening and stretching of the linea alba connective tissue creates a separation between the right and left sides of the muscle, or diastasis. DRA may affect women during and after pregnancy. <P> Rectus Diastasis. Rectus diastasis, or diastasis recti, is a condition where the rectus abdominis muscles are no longer located next to each other as they run up and down the abdomen from the breastbone (xyphoid) to the pubic bone (symphysis pubis). The word “diastasis” comes from the Greek word meaning “to separate”. <P> diastasis recti. A separation of the two halves of the rectus abdominis muscles in the midline at the linea alba. The diastasis may require surgical repair depending upon its severity; it is benign in pregnant women. | It is a condition where the rectus abdominis muscles are no longer located next to each other as they run up and down the abdomen from the breastbone (xyphoid) to the pubic bone (symphysis pubis). |

which of the following regulatory elements is not composed of dna sequences | <P> 2. Structural motifs-proteins are the primary sources of regulated gene expression in eukaryotes (protein secondary structures and alpha helices), functional domains-allow the proteins to identify and specific regulatory DNA sequences in the major groove or minor groove. the introduction of a gene from one organism into the genome of another organism, the challenges: the need to introduce DNA into a cell in such a way that the DNA integrates into the genome, the need to provide appropriate regulatory sequences so that the transgene will be properly expressed. <P> cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are regions of non-coding DNA which regulate the transcription of nearby genes. The Latin prefix cis translates to “on this side”. CREs are found in the vicinity of the gene, or genes, they regulate. An example of a cis-acting regulatory sequence is the operator in the lac operon. This DNA sequence is bound by the lac repressor, which, in turn, prevents transcription of the adjacent genes on the same DNA molecule. <P> 5 Regulatory elements that map near agene are cis-acting DNA sequences ¥cis-acting elements ÐCore Promoter ð Basal level expression ¥Binding site for TATA-binding protein and associated factors ÐPromoter Proximal Elements-True level of expression ¥Binding sites for transcription factors Core. 2 Proteins act in transDNA sites act only in cis ¥Trans acting elements (not DNA) can diffusethrough cytoplasm and act at target DNAsites on any DNA molecule in cell (usuallyproteins)¥Cis acting elements (DNA sequences) canonly influence expression of adjacent geneson same DNA molecule /27. <P> Gene organization. The transcription region consists of exons and introns. The regulatory elements include promoter, response element, enhancer and silencer (not shown). Downstream refers to the direction of transcription and upstream is opposite to the transcription direction. <P> Cis-regulatory elements are often binding sites for one or more trans-acting factors. To summarize, cis-regulatory elements are present on the same molecule of DNA as the gene they regulate whereas trans-regulatory elements can regulate genes distant from the gene from which they were transcribed. An example of a cis-acting regulatory sequence is the operator in the lac operon. This DNA sequence is bound by the lac repressor, which, in turn, prevents transcription of the adjacent genes on the same DNA molecule. <P> The cis-regulatory elements are the binding sites of transcription factors which are the proteins that, upon binding with cis-regulatory elements, can affect (either enhance or repress) transcription. The trans-regulatory elements are the DNA sequences that encode transcription factors. The transcription region consists of exons and introns. The regulatory elements include promoter, response element, enhancer and silencer (not shown). Downstream refers to the direction of transcription and upstream is opposite to the transcription direction. <P> A regulatory sequence is a segment of a nucleic acid molecule which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses. In DNA, regulation of gene expression normally happens at the level of RNA biosynthesis (transcription), and is accomplished through the sequence-specific binding of proteins (transcription factors) that activate or inhibit transcription. Transcription factors may act as activators, repressors, or both. <P> The transcriptional region is the part of DNA to be transcribed into a primary transcript (an RNA molecule complementary to the transcriptional region). The regulatory region can be divided into cis-regulatory (or cis-acting) elements and trans-regulatory (or trans-acting) elements. The transcription region consists of exons and introns. The regulatory elements include promoter, response element, enhancer and silencer (not shown).

recommended amount of sunlight for a bean plant | <P> Then the students could plant the lima bean seeds about one inch below the surface of the soil. They would add three tablespoons of water to each cup. One cup would be set on the windowsill or some bright spot in the room. One cup would be put in a closet or in a box that is sealed off from light. <P> Other Factors. Along with full sunlight, bean plants need adequate water for proper growth and to be healthy and productive. Soaking the soil to a depth of 1 inch once per week is necessary. Sunlight. Bean plants need to be in an area that receives full sunlight, which means eight to 10 hours of sunlight daily. Planting beans in an area that receives six to seven hours of full sunlight daily can reduce the plants' expected yield. <P> First, I gathered all my materials. I used bean seeds, potting soil, water, a watering can, a 1 Cup measuring cup, a 1/4 Cup measuring cup, 4 pie plates, and a place to record information. Then, I numbered the plates 1 though 4. 1 next put 3 cups of soil and 5 seeds in each pot. Then, I watered each plate with 1/4 cup of water. <P> Answer by case (1261). You can over water a plant. It is important to keep the soil moist and make sure the plant get plenty of sunshine. If you plant the bean plants in good quality soil this will help retain some water and provide nutrients to the plant to help it grow faster. add a comment. <P> Sun and Soil. Lima beans are a full-sun plant, so choose a spot that gets direct sun for most of the day. Plants in partial or full shade have trouble producing pods and seeds. Moist, rich, well-draining soil is also essential for healthy lima bean growth. <P> Overview. According to Sunset Western Garden Book, beans need full sun to grow. Full sun means at least six hours of sunlight per day. Plant bean seeds as soon as the soil is warm, in full sun and in good soil. Beans come in two types--pole beans and bush beans. <P> Pole: Direct sowing is recommended. Each seed (bean) should be sowed 1-2 inches deep near a stake, trellis, or fence that they can cling to and grow up. If you want to thin out your garden bed later on: Plant seeds 1-2 inches apart at the base of your support structure. <P> Because bean plants require full sun, they can experience problems if they do not receive at least six hours of sunlight daily. Plants that receive fewer than six hours of sunlight each day may flower, but they will not produce as many beans. That is because the inadequate amount of sunlight causes the blossoms to drop. Sunlight. Bean plants need to be in an area that receives full sunlight, which means eight to 10 hours of sunlight daily. Planting beans in an area that receives six to seven hours of full sunlight daily can reduce the plants' expected yield. <P> Natural Light. Like most warm season crops, beans need a minimum of around six hours of full sunlight each day to produce the biggest yields, but they grow best with more sun than that. As long as soil is kept moist and temperatures are not too high, beans thrive in direct sun even during the long days of summer. | Eight to 10 hours. |
what is the average cost of alterations for wedding dress | <P> 1 Neither can we… So what is the average price for a bustle on a wedding dress? 2 From our experience you can expect to pay $55-$95, but beware, many seamstresses will push that number as high as $250. 1 Cups are one of those things that almost all brides want in their wedding dresses, but rarely think about before their bridal alterations appointment. 2 The cost to put cups in will vary slightly but you can pretty much expect to pay in the $20-$40 range. <P> Cost. The cost of alterations varies greatly based on the dress but for most dresses you should expect to budget at least $300 for a hem, sides taken in, and bustle.

what does the tinikling dance represent | <P> Tinikling (means tikling-like) is the official Philippine National Dance according to the Philippine Information Agency (PIA.gov.ph). It is the most popular Philippine folk dance abroad. The tinikling has been included in the folk dance curricula of many countries around the world. In fact, there is one tinikling-like dance in Mexico believed to have been brought there by a former Mexican missionary in the Philippines. <P> The beginnings of the tinikling dance have been passed down orally in the Filipino culture, specifically with two different stories.

what were the weaknesses of the weimar constitution | <P> Above all strengths of the Weimar republic were the weaknesses, and one of those weaknesses it possessed was proportional representation. Proportional representation is instead of voting for a single leader or candidate, you vote for a party. The Weimar Constitution had all the ingredients to produce a democracy perfect for a vulnerable Germany to get back in shape. It had a bill of rights giving every German citizen freedom of speech and religion, equality under the law, and all men and women over the age of 20 were given the vote. <P> Best Answer: Strengths-This is a hard one, it had a constitution (thats always good) and had a fairly stable government. Before the great depression things were looking up for the Weimar Republic. Weaknesses-The government was in general weak and never could accomplish much in economic terms. <P> The strengths and weaknesses of the Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic. This was the first democratic German constitution. A President was elected every seven years by everyone over the age of 18. Power was concentrated in the Reichstag where 550 MPs were elected by Proportional Representation (PR). <P> The Weimar Republic faced many problems. Perhaps the greatest danger was 'the weakness within' - the constitution gave the President, the states and the army too much power, whilst proportional voting meant that the Reichstag was divided and weak. <P> Article 48 of the Weimar constitution allowed the president to rule by decree at times of an emergency and gave the president the right to override the Reichstag and provide l … eadership above party. Article 48 of the Weimar constitution made provision for rule by decree in an emergency. The inherent defects of weimar constitution were -: 1) Articlas 48 - This gave president all the power like to suspend civil rights and rule by decree. 2) Propor … tional representation-this made achieving a majority party an impossible task and led to coalitions. <P> The Weimar Republic. People use the term Weimar Republic to refer to a period in German history between 1919 and 1933 when the government was a democratic republic governed by a constitution that was laid out in the German city of Weimar after Germany's loss in WW1. Strengths of the constitution It was the first democratic constitution in German history and made sure that all sections of opinion were represented. A strong President ensured that someone was able to take charge in a crisis. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Article 48 was an article in the constitution of the Weimar Republic of Germany (1919–1933) that allowed the Chancellor to rule by decree without the consent of the Reichstag (parliament) although the president still held veto power. Strengths and weaknesses of constitution... Strengths: - All Germans had the right to vote, therefore democratic. - The system of Proportional Representation meant that parliament was directly represented by the percentage of votes casts. - The chancellor's role was overseen by the President (so could be controlled). <P> The President. The constitution of the Weimar Republic stated that the people would elect the President. The term of the presidency was set at 7 years. The President had a range of powers that need careful analysis when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the constitution. <P> Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Weimar Republic In 1918, after Kaiser Wilhelm II was abdicated, Germany changed into a democratic republic with a new constitution. However, after many years of struggling for survival, the Weimar Republic failed and Hitler was appointed chancellor in January 1933. <P> The Weimar Republic. After Germany lost the First World War, the Kaiser fled and a new democratic government of Germany was declared in February 1919 at the small town of Weimar. It was too dangerous to make a declaration in Berlin where there had just been a revolt by a Communist group called the Spartacists. The Weimar Republic looked like the perfect democracy, but it had two great weaknesses-proportional representation and Article 48. | Proportional representation and Article 48. |
average cost of college meals | <P> 1 In most cases, the costs of a college meal plan will depend on the college, the type of package chosen and how many meals the student is going to have to eat. 2 On average, a college meal plan can come down to $5 to $9 per meal, depending on the type of package purchased. <P> If you plan to eat on campus over the weekend, then you may bump that up to 18 meals per week. A typical college semester is 18 weeks. This would mean an average of 324 meals eaten per semester. You can then divide the cost of your unlimited meal plan by 324, and you will find your average cost per meal. The average cost of an unlimited meal plan is $1600 for one semester.

what is the amount of water required daily for horses? | <P> Water is the most overlooked nutrient for horses. The amount of water required by the horse is determined by the magnitude of losses of water from its body. These losses are affected by the amount, type and quality of the feed consumed, environmental conditions and the health, physiological state and physical activity. <P> The actual daily amount of water that most horses need to consume (at a minimum) to maintain body functions and remain properly hydrated is from a half gallon to a gallon per 100 pounds of body weight. <P> The amount of water required by the horse is determined by the magnitude of losses of water from its body. These losses occur through faeces, urine, respiratory gases and sweat and, in the case of lactating mares, through milk. <P> The amount of water a horse requires can vary depending upon several factors (Referenced from: TheHorse.com June 2012): The feed consumed can determine the amount of water required: 1 Fresh pasture has between 60-80% moisture and can provide a large amount of the horse's water requirements when grazing. 2 Hay and grain are very low in moisture, causing horses to drink more water. <P> Horses at rest in a moderate climate will generally consume between three and seven litres of water per 100kg of bodyweight. This translates to around 4-9 US gallons for an 1100 lb. (500 kg) horse. Diet plays a major role in determining voluntary water intake and requirements. <P> 1 Fresh pasture has between 60-80% moisture and can provide a large amount of the horse's water requirements when grazing. 2 Hay and grain are very low in moisture, causing horses to drink more water. <P> The average horse will intake 5 to 10 gallons of fresh water per day. Just like humans different horses crave or need different water amount intakes. A horse deprived of feed, but supplied drinking water, is capable of surviving 20 to 25 days. A horse deprived of water may only live up to 3 or 6 days. | A half gallon to a gallon per 100 pounds of body weight. |

describe the composition of capillary blood | <P> Capillary beds can consist of two types of vessels: true capillaries, which branch from arterioles and provide exchange between cells and the blood, and short vessels that directly connect the arterioles and venules at opposite ends of the beds, metarterioles, only found in the mesenteric circulation. Lymph capillaries connect with larger lymph vessels to drain lymph collected in the microcirculation. During early embryonic development new capillaries are formed through vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation that occurs through a de novo production of endothelial cells which then form vascular tubes. <P> Diagram of a capillary. Blood flows from the heart through arteries, which branch and narrow into arterioles, and then branch further into capillaries where nutrients and wastes are exchanged. Lymph capillaries connect with larger lymph vessels to drain lymph collected in the microcirculation. During early embryonic development new capillaries are formed through vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation that occurs through a de novo production of endothelial cells which then form vascular tubes. <P> Venous, Arterial, and Capillary Blood Specimens. Venous Blood. Venous blood is deoxygenated blood that flows from tiny capillary blood vessels within the tissues into progressively larger veins to the right side of the heart. Venous blood is the specimen of choice for most routine laboratory tests. Capillary Blood. Capillary blood is obtained from capillary beds that consist of the smallest veins (venules) and arteries (arterioles) of the circulatory system. The venules and arterioles join together in capillary beds forming a mixture of venous and arterial blood. <P> 2. one of the minute vessels connecting the arterioles and venules, the walls of which act as a semipermeable membrane for interchange of various substances between the blood and tissue fluid. Capillary bed, showing the connection between the arterial and venous capillaries. <P> Capillaries are where fluids, gasses, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues by diffusion. Capillary walls contain small pores that allow certain substances to pass into and out of the blood vessel. These structures are located between arterioles and capillaries and contain muscle fibers that allow them to contract. When the sphincters are open, blood flows freely to the capillary beds of body tissue. When the sphincters are closed, blood is not allowed to flow through the capillary beds. <P> Definition. Capillaries are the smallest type of blood vessel in the body. Their job is to enable the exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues. One place where they can be easily seen (no pun intended!) from the outside is on the whites of the eyes. Capillaries are found in every square inch of the body, from the skin to the deepest tissues in the body's cavities. Capillaries are the thinnest blood vessels in the body. These vessels are found throughout the body and bring oxygen and necessary nutrients to every cell in the body and remove cell waste. Capillary walls are selectively permeable, allowing some, but not all substances through. <P> Capillaries. Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins). The primary function of capillaries is the exchange of materials between the blood and tissue cells. About 5 percent of the total blood volume is in the systemic capillaries at any given time. Another 10 percent is in the lungs. Smooth muscle cells in the arterioles where they branch to form capillaries regulate blood flow from the arterioles into the c <P> Capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest of all blood vessels and form the connection between veins and arteries. As arteries branch and divide into arterioles and continue to reduce in size as they reach the muscle they become capillaries. Capillaries have very thin walls comprised only of endothelial cells, which allows substances to move through the wall with ease. Capillaries are very small, measuring 5-10 micrometres in width. However, the cross-sectional area of capillaries within an average size muscle would be larger than that of the Aorta. <P> A capillary is an extremely small blood vessel located within the tissues of the body, that transports blood from arteries to veins. Capillaries are most abundant in tissues and organs that are metabolically active. These structures are located between arterioles and capillaries and contain muscle fibers that allow them to contract. When the sphincters are open, blood flows freely to the capillary beds of body tissue. When the sphincters are closed, blood is not allowed to flow through the capillary beds. <P> There are networks of capillaries in most of the organs and tissues of the body. These capillaries are supplied with blood by arterioles and drained by venules. Capillary walls are only one cell thick (see diagram), which permits exchanges of material between the contents of the capillary and the surrounding tissue. The following diagram summarises the sequence of blood flow through the heart, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, then back to the heart: The following diagram summarises the structural differences between different types of blood vessels.

why did nick go east after the great war | <P> You may either type your answers to the questions or use pen and paper. CHARACTERS ! Nick Carraway: Narrator of the novel. A young man from the Midwest (Minnesota) who moves to New York to work in the bond business after having been educated at Yale and having served in World War I. He is tolerant, open-minded, and a good listener. <P> Confidence votes 315. Nick returns west after Gatsby's death because he is disillusioned about the people that surround him (After Gatsby's death the East was haunted for me like that, distorted my eyes' power beyond correction). He sees that Tom and Daisy destroy the people who become attached to them, and that Jordan Baker is no better. <P> Nick initially planned to live in New York City close to work, but when a young man at the office suggested that (they) take a house together in a commuting town, it sounded like a great idea.. In this way, he ends up living next to Gatsby in West Egg. A big cause of his feeling a need for a change was the fact that he had just returned from fighting in World War I. As he explains: I graduated from New Haven in 1915, just a quarter of a century after my father, and a little later I participated in that delayed Teutonic migration known as the Great War. <P> Brought to you inassociation with: Character List Nick Carraway The novel’s narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Nick and Gatsby fought in the same battle in World War ID. Gatsby has seen his next-door neighbor around, but assumed Nick was one of his own servants Suggestion for Further Reading Bloom, Harold, ed. F. Scott Fitgerald’s The Great Gatsby. New York: Chelsea House Publishers, 2003.Bruccoli, Andrew J., ed. <P> Nick Carraway is the narrarator of The Great Gatsby. He is Daisy's second cousin and she knew Daisy's husband, Tom, in college. He also befriends Gatsby. Nick was taught very … early on not to judge people and throughout the story he mostly succeeds, although he does seem to be on the fence a lot. <P> Everybody I knew was in the bond business, so I supposed it could support one more single man. As Nick explains in chapter one, he moved East in order to start a new job and to experience a new llifestyle. He had grown up in the Midwest, and he felt ready for a change. A big cause of his feeling a need for a change was the fact that he had just returned from fighting in World War I. As he explains: I graduated from New Haven in 1915, just a quarter of a century after my father, and a little later I participated in that delayed Teutonic migration known as the Great War. <P> To me, there are two reasons why Nick comes East after the war. In practical terms, he is coming to New York because he has decided to sell bonds for a living and New York is the center of American financial markets. In more psychological terms, Nick has been changed by his experiences in the war. He feels as if the Midwest is sort of like the middle of nowhere now that he has seen more of the world. So he comes East because it seems more like someplace important and exciting <P> So Nick had to move out east so that he could (and we by proxy could) meet Gatsby and tell the story. It isn't all that different from our impression of the Midwest today. It is a place where things are bound by tradition, values, things move more slowly, etc. In practical terms, he is coming to New York because he has decided to sell bonds for a living and New York is the center of American financial markets. In more psychological terms, Nick has been changed by his experiences in the war. <P> Nick has returned from serving in WWI and like many verterans feels the world has changed. Instead of being the warm centre of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe-so I decided to go East and learn the bond business.. <P> Nick Carraway was born in 1892 in Minnesota, Middle-West of the United States, as the son of a well situated family. His grand uncle had started the family’s hardware business in 1851. He went to elementary, middle and high school in the Middle-West. After that he was sent to Yale University by his family. Nick was sent to France, when the United States entered the Great War in 1917, in order to fulfil his military service. After this time, in 1922, he decided to move to New York to learn the bond business, because the war had changed his perspective of the world. | Because he has decided to sell bonds for a living and New York is the center of American financial markets.Also Nick has been changed by his experiences in the war. |

how to make rope door stops | <P> The Design Sponge tutorial (here’s a link to it), pointed to several videos on YouTube that explained/showed the procedure. The only one I needed is the one entitled “How To Tie The Monkey’s Fist.” Yup, it seems that cool sailor’s knot is called a Monkey’s Fist, which, when you look at it, is apropos. Ultimately, it took about 20 minutes to make mine, pictured above, and all of $12 (for the rope I bought at my local hardware store). As soon as I it, I was reminded of a how-to I once saw on Design Sponge that recreated the pricey item ($50) for peanuts. When I returned home from that shopping trip, I found the tutorial and got to work. <P> The extra rope that is left at the end can be tucked in to the knot. To make the handle of the knot, take the remaining rope and tuck it in, creating a loop: A drop of crazy glue will help to hold it in place. Use it as a doorstop, decoration on books, on a door handle or just on its own. This knot is called the Monkey's Fist and it really is simple to make. The thicker your rope, the easier it will be, believe it or not. I bought 1/2 inch manila rope at Lowe's for 48 cents a foot. You'll need 12 feet. <P> A monkey fist knot is an ingenious nautical knot tied from one continuous strand of rope and was used as an end weight by seamen and pirates to heave a long rope line from ship-to-shore or ship-to-ship, as a rescue lifeline for those who were tossed overboard (not who walked the plank) and as weapons in tavern brawls. <P> I was very happy with the Rope Knot Doorstop that I recently purchased, and was able to take advantage of a Ballard's sale, so the price was great. After installing hardwood floors throughout my home, I needed a door stop that was both good looking, and one that wouldn't damage the hardwood. <P> 1-2 hours-depending on how long it takes to learn knot :). instructions: 1. take your practice rope and try tying the knot a few times. here are the online tutorials i found helpful: – youtube tutorial #1: skip ahead to 1:52 to see the knot being tied. this is one of the clearer videos, but i needed more than this to learn. 3. for the doorstop, take a tennis ball and cut a 2″ long slit in it with a knife or your scissors. pinch the slit open and fill with sand, rice, or small pebbles. <P> – if none of these are helping you, feel free to search for more: “how to tie a monkey’s fist knot” should do the trick. you can also email or comment here and i will try to give tips if i can! 2. once you’ve mastered the knot in practice form, it’s time to do it with your big rope. leave about 12″ of rope dangling off your left hand and use the rest to create the loops with your right hand. stop once you have the knot assembled. DO NOT TIGHTEN YET. 3. for the doorstop, take a tennis ball and cut a 2″ long slit in it with a knife or your scissors. pinch the slit open and fill with sand, rice, or small pebbles. <P> ROPE LIGHTHOUSE DOORSTOP.

what is the labeling theory | <P> Definition of Labeling Theory. Labeling theory was created by Howard Becker in 1963. Labeling theory takes the view that people become criminals when labeled as such and when they accept the label as a personal identity. The central contribution of symbolic-interaction analysis is labeling theory, the assertion that deviance and conformity result not so much from what people do as from how others respond to those actions. Take a look at a few key concepts and test your knowledge with a quiz. <P> Labeling theory is the theory of how the self-identity and behavior of individuals may be determined or influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them. It is associated with the concepts of self-fulfilling prophecy and stereotyping. Labeling theory had its origins in Suicide, a book by French sociologist Émile émile. Durkheim he found that crime is not so much a violation of a penal code as it is an act that outrages. Society he was the first to suggest that deviant labeling satisfies that function and satisfies'society s need to control the. behavior <P> Labeling theory is closely related to social-construction and symbolic-interaction analysis.

In sociology, labeling theory is the view of deviance according to which being labeled as a deviant leads a person to engage in deviant behavior. Originating in Howard Becker's work in the 1960s, labeling theory explains why people's behavior clashes with social norms. <P> Labeling theory is one of the most important approaches to understanding deviant and criminal behavior. It stems from the work of W.I. Thomas who, in 1928, wrote, If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.. Labeling theory begins with the assumption that no act is intrinsically criminal. Definitions of criminality are established by those in power through the formulation of laws and the interpretation of those laws by police, courts, and correctional institutions. <P> Labeling Theory. Page by Sarah Dye. Labeling Theory. Labeling theory is a pretty simple theory that is based on social deviations which result in the labeling of the outsider. In his article Becker defines deviance as being created by society. 1 Tannenbaum’s interpretation of labeling theory was called the dramatization of evil. 2 He thought that through the identification, and treatment of a deviant trait with in and individual (labeling) that trait was therefore emphasized causing it to become a larger and larger part of the deviant’s life. <P> Labeling theory arose from the study of deviant behavior in the 1950's and 1960's and was a rejection of consensus theory or structural functionalism. Labeling theory or social reaction theory, focuses on the linguistic tendency of majorities to negatively label minorities or those seen as deviant from norms.

how much does it cost to reroute plumbing to install a bathtub | <P> Water Heater Requirements. A new tub could tax your water heater, requiring a water heater upgrade or installation of a second water heater. In such cases, you could pay $670 to $1,100 for a new water heater. As a general rule, your water tank should be about 2/3 the size of your bathtub. For instance, if your tub has a 60-gallon capacity, your water heater should have at least a 40-gallon capacity. <P> It's less expensive to refinish the bathtub ($300-$600) or install a bathtub liner ($500-$4,000), but a replacement can mean you get precisely the tub you want. 1 A standard new bathtub starts around $200-$600, but can be $800-$3,000 or more, depending on size and features such as water jets. <P> $1,367.05. Get an INSTANT estimate of the cost to Install a Bathtub! Our free calculator uses recent, trusted data to estimate costs for your Bathtub Installation project. For a basic 1 tub project in zip code 47474, the benchmark cost to Install a Bathtub ranges between $693.76 - $1,367.05 per tub. To estimate costs for your project: 1. Set Project Zip Code Enter the Zip Code for the location where labor is hired and materials purchased. 2. <P> 1 Re-piping a small 1-bathroom home with PEX might cost $1,500-$2,500; a 3-bedroom, 2-1/2-bathroom, two-story home might be $5,000-$7,000 or more. 2 For example, Repipe1 in California will re-pipe a 2-bathroom home with PEX starting at $3,499, with the walls left paint-ready. 1 Plumbing a new home using PEX for the water supply lines can cost $5,000-$21,000 or more depending on location, the size of the house and the number of fixtures, or typically about $2,000-$5,000 less than using copper pipes. <P> Because installing a tub is a labor-intensive project, it is worthwhile to buy a good quality bathtub that will have a long lifespan of 15-20 years or more. A building permit may be required in your locale for the bathtub installation itself or for associated tasks such as plumbing upgrades. 1 In the case of a replacement bathtub, the labor cost includes demolition of the old tub and surrounding tile. 2 An electrician may be required to hook up electric jets for a whirlpool tub. 3 Cleanup -- The cost for the job may also include removal and haulage for the old tub, as well as cleanup of the site. <P> 1 If the replacement tub is larger and heavier than the old bathtub, you might also need to install larger copper water pipes (anywhere from $1.30-$10 a foot) and a bigger-capacity hot water heater ($150-$3,500), and to reinforce the floor joists ($100-$300 per joist). 1 A standard new bathtub starts around $200-$600, but can be $800-$3,000 or more, depending on size and features such as water jets. <P> Fiberglass is an economical choice for bathtubs. It comes in a range of colors and is also lightweight. However, because fiberglass does not retain heat well, it’s better used for quick baths than long soaks. The average cost of a 60-inch fiberglass tub ranges from $200 to $500, not including installation. In such cases, you could pay $670 to $1,100 for a new water heater. As a general rule, your water tank should be about 2/3 the size of your bathtub. For instance, if your tub has a 60-gallon capacity, your water heater should have at least a 40-gallon capacity. <P> 1 Re-plumbing a house (installing new lines and abandoning the old ones) with PEX can cost $1,500-$8,000 or more. 2 Re-plumbing costs are typically based on the number of fixtures, with each sink, bathtub, shower, toilet, dishwasher, water heater, etc. counting as one fixture. 1 Plumbing a new home using PEX for the water supply lines can cost $5,000-$21,000 or more depending on location, the size of the house and the number of fixtures, or typically about $2,000-$5,000 less than using copper pipes. <P> However, installing a bathtub can also be a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. The average cost to install or replace a bathtub will be anywhere between $1,030 and $4,597, depending on a wide variety of factors. One of those major factors is the type of bathtub you choose for the space. In such cases, you could pay $670 to $1,100 for a new water heater. As a general rule, your water tank should be about 2/3 the size of your bathtub. For instance, if your tub has a 60-gallon capacity, your water heater should have at least a 40-gallon capacity. <P> 1 Total cost for removing the old tub and installing a new one can run $1,500-$5,000 or more but averages $2,500-$3,500 depending on the ease of access, local rates, the quality of the new fixtures, and the extent of the repairs/replacements for the walls, plumbing and flooring. 1 A standard new bathtub starts around $200-$600, but can be $800-$3,000 or more, depending on size and features such as water jets. | Between $1,030 and $4,597. |
what league is bilston in | <P> From that fragile first season in 1998, where 67 teams played under the Bilston League banner, we have grown to the level where we average 200 teams per season, providing organised football for around 5,000 youngsters and young adults every Sunday. Much work was done prior to the launch of the League to attract referees to join us, and our reputation within the refereeing fraternity is now second to none. We are able to appoint a League Referee to EVERY fixtured game – a statistic no other junior league can come even close to matching. <P> Created by the now defunct committee of Springvale Tranco Colts FC, and supported by both Bilston College (now Wolverhampton City College) and Bilston Town FC – hence the Partnership aspect of the name, the new Bilston Partnership Youth Football League was formed.

I would like to thank all of those swimmers who have given everything to ensure the club maintains it's premier division status this season. <P> Welcome! We are the Bilston and District darts league. This league has been running as far back as 1950 and still going stronger than ever. Last season was another closely fought affair with Tilted Barrel taking the treble. Good luck to every team in the league this season,and may the best team win. Thank you and enjoy..... Lee Cox. <P> The club reformed in 1946 simply as Bilston F.C. In 1954 the team joined the Birmingham & District League and won the championship in 1960–61 and again in 1972–73 (by which time the league had been renamed the West Midlands Regional League). In 1983 the club's name changed to Bilston Town F.C.

how can you prevent osteoporosis | <P> While calcium is necessary to build and maintain strong bones, it's vitamin D that aids in it's absorption. If you're not getting enough vitamin D, your bones could become weak, brittle, and even misshapen. A combination of vitamin D and calcium is necessary to prevent osteoporosis in older adults. Sunlight helps produce vitamin D in your body and the NIH suggests as little as 10-15 minutes of sun exposure just 3 times a week will give you adequate amounts. Kick The Soda Habit. <P> Bones contain a lot of calcium. It is important to get enough calcium in your diet.

why are snakeheads dangerous | <P> The northern snakehead fish is said to not be a threat to humans. However, a more vicious species, the giant snakeheads have reportedly attacked and even killed peo … ple who have went near its young. They have been found in Maine, California, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. <P> DCL |. The giant snakehead, Channa micropeltes, is a nasty, nasty fish. It's a native of lakes, rivers and other bodies of freshwater in South and Southeast Asia, from India to Vietnam. <P> In the United States, there are four species of snakeheads: Channa argus (northern snakehead), Channa micropeltes (giant snakehead), Channa marulius (bullseye snakehead), and Channa maculate (blotched snakehead). The northern snakehead fish has succeeded in establishing breeding populations in the wild. Northern snakehead fish are strong predators at the juvenile and adult stages of their life cycle. Many native species are outcompeted for food resources. Small prey, such as zooplankton, larvae, and small fish and crustaceans populations may be threatened by feeding juvenile snakehead fish. <P> Posted. There is a snakehead thread on the first page of this very section of the forum. Lots of snakehead discussion there already. They are being hunted for the threats they could pose and as a response to the sensationalized stories the media has created about them. I have it on good authority that in the Potomac, no snakeheads have been found with bass in their stomachs. Bass on the other hand, love to eat baby snakeheads. I'm not going to go into the whole snakeheads aren't actually that bad argument because we've beaten it to death and I would simply be restating what's already been said in other threads. Calling them dangerous is a joke, at least in regards to humans. <P> The snakeheads are members of the freshwater perciform fish family Channidae, native to parts of Africa and Asia. These elongated, predatory fish are distinguished by their long dorsal fins, large mouths, and shiny teeth. They breathe air with gills, which allows them to migrate short distances over land. Humans have been introducing snakeheads to nonindigenous waters for over 100 years. In parts of Asia and Africa, the snakehead is considered a valuable food fish, and is produced in aquacultures (fisheries motivation) or by ignorance (as was the case in Crofton, Maryland). <P> Background. The northern snakehead fish (Channa argus) has been identified as an invasive aquatic fish across the country. Snakehead fish got their name because of their long, cylindrical body plan and large scales on their head that give them a snake-like appearance. Northern snakehead fish are strong predators at the juvenile and adult stages of their life cycle. Many native species are outcompeted for food resources. Small prey, such as zooplankton, larvae, and small fish and crustaceans populations may be threatened by feeding juvenile snakehead fish. <P> The northern snakehead is an aggressive freshwater fish that can grow to be about 4 feet long. It has been found in a variety of freshwater lakes, swamps, ponds, and streams of various temperatures, but cannot tolerate saltwater. The northern snakehead fish is native to parts of Asia and Africa. 1 The northern snakehead fish has a large mouth with a strong jaw and sharp, canine-like teeth. 2 Its head resembles that of a snake; it has an elongated cylindrical shape with enlarged scales and eyes on each side near the top front of the head. <P> The northern snakehead is an invasive fish native to China, Russia and Korea. Other snakehead species are native to parts of Asia and Africa. Two populations of this air-breathing predator have been identified in New York State; one in two connected ponds in Queens, NYC and one in Ridgebury Lake in the Town of Wawayanda, Orange County. Northern Snakehead in a tank. Snakeheads are highly invasive and have the potential to disrupt recreational and commercial fishing, harm native fish and wildlife, and impact our economy. New York State prohibits possession, sale and live transport of snakehead fish (genus Channa and Parachanna) and their viable eggs. <P> The northern snakehead fish was first discovered in the United States in California in 1997. This species is considered established in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and Arkansas. Individual fish have also been collected in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Delaware and North Carolina.

what is bran | <P> Bran, also known as miller's bran, is the hard outer layers of cereal grain. It consists of the combined aleurone and pericarp. Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling process (the conversion of brown rice to white rice), and it contains various antioxidants that impart beneficial effects on human health. A major rice bran fraction contains 12%-13% oil and highly unsaponifiable components (4.3%). <P> Oat bran is the outer husk of the oat grain. The bran of grain is normally discarded during the milling process, which is unfortunate, since it contains the bulk of the dietary fiber of the grain, along with a large amount of useful minerals. Oat bran contains more fiber and absorbs more liquid than wheat bran. Oat bran is the cereal of choice for anyone who is overweight or suffering from high cholesterol. Oat bran is as suitable for celiacs, as are any other kind of oats. <P> Bran is present in and may be milled from any cereal grain, including rice, corn (maize) , wheat, oats, barley and millet. Bran should not be confused with chaff, which is coarser scaly material surrounding the grain, but not forming part of the grain itself. Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling process (the conversion of brown rice to white rice), and it contains various antioxidants that impart beneficial effects on human health. A major rice bran fraction contains 12%-13% oil and highly unsaponifiable components (4.3%). <P> WHEAT BRAN Overview Information. Wheat is a plant. The outer shell of the grain (the bran) is used to make medicine. Wheat bran is used as a source of dietary fiber for preventing colon diseases (including cancer), stomach cancer, breast cancer, gallbladder disease, hemorrhoids and hiatal hernia. It is also used for treating constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. <P> Definition: In the culinary arts, bran refers to the hard, outer layer of whole cereal grains such as oats, wheat, rice and others. Bran is high in nutrients and dietary fiber. Bran is separated from the grain during the milling process. <P> Bran is the outer layer of grains, like wheat. Wheat bran is extremely high in fiber and can be blended into a banana-orange or other fruit smoothie. Bran is high in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and protein. A healthy green breakfast smoothie may feature bran in addition to kale and other nutritious green vegetables. Dog foods often contain corn and wheat particulates. Corn on the cob can provide bran. <P> Bran is the outer layer of nearly any cereal grain, including rice, oats, wheat, and corn. Basically any “whole grain” has this layer, but most processed or refined grains don’t. It tends to be somewhat rough and often has a dry, nutty flavor; manufacturers often remove it to get a more streamlined, softer taste.

how long does a budgie live | <P> Parakeets tend to live 10 to 14 years, if in good health. Not all will live that long, however, since parakeets can fall ill even with proper care. Improper care can shorten their lifespan to a mere 4 years or less. Consider these parakeet care tips. <P> i've owned budgies for 7 years, the female ran away and we bought another female for the male but he died 2 days after that (him and the female that ran away were together with me for 7 years) well i would like to know how long their life span is and how can i determine the age of a budgie, ive heard that if... <P> The average lifespan for a budgie is between 5 - 8 years. This can extend to 15 if the bird is well fed and kept in clean conditions. Life span depends on genetics and how well a bird is cared for during its lifetime. It honestly depends on the budgie's country of origin. Budgies in Australia, their country of origin, easily live between 10 and 15 years in captivity. A budgie useally lives for 5 years but some can live up to 10 years... 10 years is the MAXIMUM a Budgie can live for Hope This Answered you questio … n. 2 people found this useful. <P> Best Answer: According to my vet, 5 years is the average age. Parakeets can live much longer lives than that, even up to 12 years. They can also live less than 5 years. I know one lady that had a parakeet that lived 10 years. That is the oldest living parakeet that I know. My oldest parakeet lived 7 1/2 years <P> Budgie lifespan is more than 15 years, but in order to live for so long time, they need to be cared for.

describe hodgkin disease | <P> Hodgkin’s disease is a type of lymphoma. Lymphoma is a blood cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps the immune system get rid of waste and fight infections. There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s disease (HD) is also called Hodgkin disease, Hodgkin lymphoma, or Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The disease was named after its discoverer, Dr. Thomas Hodgkin. The cancer originates in white blood cells called lymphocytes. <P> Hodgkin's lymphoma — formerly known as Hodgkin's disease — is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system. In Hodgkin's lymphoma, cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the lymphatic system. As Hodgkin's lymphoma progresses, it compromises your body's ability to fight infection. Hodgkin's lymphoma is one of two common types of cancers of the lymphatic system. The other type, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is far more common. Advances in diagnosis and treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma have helped give people with this diagnosis the chance for a full recovery <P> Hodgkin lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of nodes (knots of tissue) connected by vessels that drain fluid and waste products from the body. The lymph nodes act as tiny filters, straining out foreign organisms and cells. <P> Lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system. There are two main types of lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or Hodgkin’s disease, causes the cells in the lymphatic system to abnormally reproduce, eventually making the body less able to fight infection. All other types of lymphoma are called non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Cancers that spread to lymph nodes from other parts of the body are not lymphomas. <P> The most common sign of both Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a painless swelling in one or more of the lymph nodes of the neck, collarbone region, armpits, or groin. But it is important to remember that most lymph node swelling—especially in children—is caused by an infection, not by lymphoma. Hodgkin's disease has a characteristic pattern of lymphatic spread that may aid in diagnosis. The disease typically invades the lymph nodes of the neck, collarbone, armpits, and/or chest above the diaphragm (large abdominal muscle that controls breathing) without skipping a nodal group. <P> Hodgkin's lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma, in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The cell histology in Hodgkin's lymphoma is not as important as it is in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: the treatment and prognosis in classic Hodgkin's lymphoma usually depends on the stage of disease rather than the histotype. <P> Hodgkin disease (Hodgkin lymphoma) is a type of lymphoma, a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are part of the immune system. The lymph system and lymphoid tissue. To understand what Hodgkin disease is, it helps to know how the lymph system works. The lymph system (also known as the lymphatic system) is part of the immune system, which helps fight infections and some other diseases. It also helps fluids move in the body. <P> The most advanced stage (stage IV) is characterized by the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Additional staging factors. Additional letters, A, B, E and S are often used to further describe Hodgkin lymphoma. The letters A and B indicate the presence or absence of certain symptoms. The letters E and S refer to the spread of the cancer beyond the lymph nodes: <P> 1 Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system). 2 The most common symptom of Hodgkin's lymphoma is a painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin. 3 Some of those affected have other symptoms like fever, night sweats, fatigue, itching, or weakness. | Hodgkin disease (Hodgkin lymphoma) is a type of lymphoma, a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes. |
what is dry cleaning | <P> Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls perc or PERC. It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing. <P> Dry cleaning, on the other hand, is different. It's a process that cleans clothes without water. The cleaning fluid that is used is a liquid, and all garments are immersed and cleaned in a liquid solvent -- the fact that there is no water is why the process is called dry.. <P> The term dry cleaning is a bit of a misnomer. Dry cleaning refers to cleaning clothes and fabrics using a chemical solvent rather than water. The cleaning is done with a liquid but the solvent contains little or no water and does not penetrate the fibers like water does in a washer. <P> Dry cleaning (or dry-cleaning) is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent (a chemical that can dissolve certain compounds) rather than water.

how to pay a at home senior care per day | <P> Home Care Costs. It’s no wonder seniors choose home health care over stays in a hospital if they are able to. The average daily cost of a hospital stay is $6,200, while the average cost of home health care is just $135 per visit. To be eligible, you must be 1) 55 or older 2) live in the service area of PACE 3) need nursing home-level of care, and 4) be able to live safely in the community with help from PACE. If you have Medicaid, there is no monthly premium for the long-term care portion of the benefit. <P> According to AARP, the average pay rate for home care services for adults in 2008 was $19 an hour for home care aides, versus $38 an hour for Medicare-certified health aides. These rates, however, varied depending on hours of the day that care was provided, as well as region of the country. Licensed nurses who treat a senior at home generally charge between $50 and $100 a visit. One senior hospitalized in Manhattan paid $5,000 for three days of 24-hour private nursing care, averaging approximately $70 an hour. <P> The national average for a one-bedroom in an assisted living facility is $3,450 a month, according to Genworth Financial’s Cost of Care Survey. A semi-private room in a nursing home costs $207 a day on average. A home health aide costs $19 an hour on average. How We Pay for Home Health Care. To be eligible, you must be 1) 55 or older 2) live in the service area of PACE 3) need nursing home-level of care, and 4) be able to live safely in the community with help from PACE. If you have Medicaid, there is no monthly premium for the long-term care portion of the benefit. <P> Medicare: Reimbursement for up to 100 days in a nursing home per stay. Medicare does not pay for long-term care needs, only short-term care for rehabilitation and recovery in a nursing home. Senior Home Care: $15 - $25 per hour for hourly care and $150 - $350 per day for 24-hour live-in care. <P> The following is how recipients of home health care pay for services, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: 1 Medicare 41%. 2 Medicaid 24%. 3 State/local governments 15%. To be eligible, you must be 1) 55 or older 2) live in the service area of PACE 3) need nursing home-level of care, and 4) be able to live safely in the community with help from PACE. If you have Medicaid, there is no monthly premium for the long-term care portion of the benefit. <P> Here is Caregiverlist’s overview of senior care costs and ways to pay. Senior Home Care: $15 - $25 per hour for hourly care and $150 - $350 per day for 24-hour live-in care. <P> In reality, it covers only a very narrow range of costs. It is important that you understand ahead of time the benefits and limits of Medicare, so you adequately prepare for senior care needs. Although rates vary, LongTermCare.gov estimates nursing home care costs at over $6,000 per month. The cost of long-term care for seniors varies as much as the types of care available and the degree of assistance you or a loved one need. In this article, we review some of the more common funding options for senior housing and long-term care services. <P> Costs of Care. Some average costs for long-term care in the United States (in 2010) were: 1 $205 per day or $6,235 per month for a semi-private room in a nursing home. 2 $229 per day or $6,965 per month for a private room in a nursing home. 1 $205 per day or $6,235 per month for a semi-private room in a nursing home. 2 $229 per day or $6,965 per month for a private room in a nursing home. 3 $3,293 per month for care in an assisted living facility (for a one-bedroom unit). 4 $21 per hour for a home health aide. <P> Private-pay home care is different than the Medicare-covered home care, which is short term (less than 60 days), intermittent (for a few hours each week), rehabilitative (physical therapy or speech therapy), and medically necessary (care that must be provided by a Registered Nurse). Therefore it is intermittent (a few days per week, less than 24-hours per day) and short-term (it has an end point that is less than 60 days). Medicare does not pay for long-term or ongoing care that ultimately will not improve someone’s current health condition. | $150 - $350 per day. |
what is a braai | <P> To South Africans the Braai is as important an implement in the household as an oven is to us Brits. Simply put, a Braai is a wood or charcoal fuelled barbecue, but more than that it is an incredibly versatile and exciting way to cook which provides a great social hub for a gathering or celebration! <P> Show All Items. (Or how to barbeque meat for the rest of us). To braai or barbeque (Bar-B-Q) meat is a South African tradition. We usually do it once or twice a week, probably more. It's a chance to get your friends and/or family together, sip some wine or down a couple of cold ones. In this Instructable, I am going to show you how, with a little preparation and some scientific genius, you can braai like an expert and serve up the most succulent meat. What you will need: Some red meat, preferably rump, fillet or sirloin. <P> 10 hilariously insightful foreign words. Braai is the South African word for barbecue, plural braaie, and refers to a meal cooked over an open fire, usually outdoors. Originally it was derived from an Afrikaans word, braaivleis, meaning grilled meat, but it is now a universally used term in South Africa. A regular South African braai will usually include the cooking of boerewors, which is traditional thick sausage and meat such as steak or sosaties, a type of kebab. Chicken pieces may also be braaied, often with a marinade <P> If you are a South African, you definitely know the answer to that question. So you probably don’t need to read this. If, as a South African citizen, you don’t know what a braai is, you should not have been given that citizenship in the first place. However, for those of you that don’t know what a braai is, here is Wikipedia’s description of it: “The word braaivleis is Afrikaans for “roasted meat.” <P> The word braai comes from the word braaivleis, which is Afrikaans for roasted meat. Braai means barbecue and vleis means meat.. The word is pronounced “bry” and although it originated with the Afrikaans, the word and social custom has been adopted by many ethnic cultures within Southern Africa. A braai revolves around the fire, and the food. The food is cooked on (as the name of the gathering would suggest) a braai, which is basically a grill. But you won’t find gas on this grill. <P> The “Bring & Braai”. Similar to a potluck party, this is a grand social event (but still casual and laid-back) where family and friends converge on a picnic spot or someone’s home (normally the garden or verandah) with their own meat, salad, or side dish in hand. Meats are the star of the South African braai. So you probably don’t need to read this. If, as a South African citizen, you don’t know what a braai is, you should not have been given that citizenship in the first place. However, for those of you that don’t know what a braai is, here is Wikipedia’s description of it: <P> Noun [edit]. braai (plural braais). ( 1 South Africa) A barbecue (grill) , especially an open outdoor grill built specifically for the purpose of braaing.

causes of cystic fibrosis | <P> A defect in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis (CF). This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your body's cells. In people who have CF, the gene makes a protein that doesn't work well. This causes thick, sticky mucus and very salty sweat. <P> In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure. Diagnosis and Genetics. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. People with CF have inherited two copies of the defective CF gene -- one copy from each parent. Both parents must have at least one copy of the defective gene. <P> Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition caused by a faulty gene (known as the CFTR gene). The CFTR gene normally creates a protein that moves salt and water out of a cell. If the CFTR gene is defective, it results in a build-up of thick, sticky mucus in the body's tubes and passageways. These blockages damage the lungs, digestive system and other organs, resulting in inflammation (swelling) and, in the lungs, repeated infections. <P> Understanding What Causes Cystic Fibrosis. The cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a defect in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of the cells in your body <P> Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that causes the body to produce thick and sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas. This genetic disease can be life threatening, and affects an estimated 30,000 children and adults in the US, with around 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year. 1 Cystic fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. 2 It leads to the production of mucus that is much thicker and more sticky than usual. 3 Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary condition, caused by a defective gene. 4 The cystic fibrosis gene must be present in both parents for a child to have the condition. <P> 1 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects the secretory glands, including the mucus and sweat glands. 2 Cystic fibrosis mostly affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and sex organs. 1 CF is due to a mutation in the CF gene on chromosome 7. 2 The CF gene encodes a protein known as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). 3 The abnormal CFTR protein in patients with CF leads to disruption of chloride channels on the cells. <P> Causes. In cystic fibrosis, a defect (mutation) in a gene changes a protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells. The result is thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems, as well as increased salt in sweat. Many different defects can occur in the gene. <P> Cystic fibrosis occurs when a child inherits a changed (mutated) gene from both parents. The changed gene causes problems with the way salt and water move in and out of the cells that make mucus, causing the mucus to be thick and sticky. <P> A defect in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis (CF). This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your body's cells. In people who have CF, the gene makes a protein that doesn't work well. This causes thick, sticky mucus and very salty sweat. Research suggests that the CFTR protein also affects the body in other ways. This may help explain other symptoms and complications of CF. More than a thousand known defects can affect the CFTR gene. | This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your body's cells. This causes thick, sticky mucus and very salty sweat. |
what is the normal range of alkaline phosphatase | <P> Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in many organs, including the liver, bone, kidney, intestine and placenta. The highest concentration of alkaline phosphatase comes from the liver and bone. A routine blood test detects the total amount of alkaline phosphatase in the blood. <P> An alkaline phosphatase level test (ALP test) measures the amount of alkaline phosphatase enzyme in your bloodstream. The test requires a simple blood draw and is often a routine part of other blood tests. Abnormal levels of ALP in your blood most often indicate a problem with your liver and/or bones. <P> Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a protein found in all body tissues. Tissues with higher amounts of ALP include the liver, bile ducts, and bone. A blood test can be done to measure the level of ALP. A related test is the ALP isoenzyme test. <P> Because this test is not specific for liver or bone, other liver-or bone-specific blood tests are usually needed to help determine the source of an increased blood alkaline phosphatase level. Symptoms may also help determine the source. Otherwise, an alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme test can <P> Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is present in a number of tissues including liver, bone, intestine, and placenta. Serum ALP is of interest in the diagnosis of 2 main groups of conditions-hepatobiliary disease and bone disease associated with increased osteoblastic activity. <P> The normal value for alkaline phosphatase is 53 to 128 U/L for a 20- to 50-year-old man and 42 to 98 U/L for a 20- to 50-year-old woman. Pregnant women typically have higher alkaline phosphatase values due to contributions from the placenta. Normal values are slightly different if you are older than 60 -- 56 to 119 U/L if you're a man or 53 to 141 U/L if you're a woman. Normal values can vary slightly among testing laboratories. <P> An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of the enzyme ALP in the blood. ALP is made mostly in the liver and in bone with some made in the intestines and kidneys. It also is made by the placenta of a pregnant woman. The liver makes more ALP than the other organs or the bones. <P> Alkaline phosphatase is an enzymatic protein found in liver, intestine, placenta and bone. The normal adult range of alkaline phosphatase is 41 to 133 IU per liter of blood, and these values vary among laboratory and method, according to The Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Tests.. | 41 to 133 IU Per Liter of Blood. |
how roman numerals work | <P> This page explains how Roman numerals work. This is the convention I was taught in school. The Romans (and subsequent users) weren't nearly as strict about how to write numbers in their day, but this is the way you will see Roman numerals written in almost all cases today. 1 In this case, a letter with a smaller value precedes one with a larger value and the value of the smaller is subtracted from the larger. 2 The result is then added to the rest of the letters. 3 The following rules apply to subtraction: 4 Only powers of ten (I, X, C, M) can be subtracted. <P> The Roman numeral system works by having separate symbols to represent different numbers but unlike your system there was no symbol for zero. <P> Roman Numerals. Ancient Romans used a number system that is very different from ours. Learn to write numbers as the Romans did thousands of years ago. These worksheets include basic and advanced level Roman numeral activities. <P> This time it just means to represent some numbers in roman numerals you need to subtract the value of the smaller number from the larger. e.g. XL = 50 - 10 = 40 Personally I like the way it is shown on the chalk board but you'll have to work out which way works for you. Yep!!! another 'techo' word. This time it just means to represent some numbers in roman numerals you need to subtract the value of the smaller number from the larger. e.g. XL = 50 - 10 = 40. <P> 1 Manually add the Roman numeral to each of the pages you want to number this way. 2 Then, make the remaining pages into a separate document. 3 In Works 4.0 and later, select the header or footer of the separate document, and click Page Number on the Insert menu. SUMMARY. When you use the word processor in Works, you may want to number the preliminary pages in your document with Roman numerals and then switch over to regular (Arabic) page numbers. To do this, use either of the following options: 1 Manually type the page number on each page. <P> For example, in MCMIX (1909), M (1000) is the thousands, CM (1000 - 100 = 900) is the hundreds, and IX (10 - 1 = 9) is the ones. To put it most concisely: When converting to Roman numerals, convert each digit separately. For example, for 953 convert 900, 50, and 3 to give CM, L, and III to get CMLIII. For more information on how Roman numerals work, please check the sites in the Links section. 1 In this case, a letter with a smaller value precedes one with a larger value and the value of the smaller is subtracted from the larger. 2 The result is then added to the rest of the letters. 3 The following rules apply to subtraction: 4 Only powers of ten (I, X, C, M) can be subtracted. <P> Roman numerals, the numeric system used in ancient Rome, employs combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. In tarot, Roman numerals (with zero) are also used to denote the cards of the Major Arcana.

how much do restylane injections cost | <P> Cost of Restylane. Restylane injections average approximately $350 to $500 per cubic centimeter (cc), a measure of the volume of Restylane gel injected. The volume of gel required for your treatment session depends on the desired results, as well as the deepness of the wrinkles. <P> 1 According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the average surgeon's fee for an autologous fat injection is $1,395. 2 For calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse/Radiance), it is $911; for hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Hylaform), it is $527; and for a collagen injection costs ranges from $398 to $488. 1 The results of injections with soft tissue fillers do not last forever. 2 Depending on which type of filler is used, the results will last anywhere from four months to a year for Restylane and Juvederm to one or two years for Radiesse. 3 To maintain results, more injections would be needed. <P> In general, however, the cost of Restylane® injections falls within most budgets, ranging from about $275 to $700. Restylane® is usually sold by the syringe, so the cost of Restylane® depends on the amount of gel that will be needed to achieve the desired results. Restylane® operates on the same principle as other injectable fillers, but has a tendency to last longer because it attracts moisture and works with the body. Since Restylane® injections are considered a cosmetic enhancement, the cost of Restylane® is not covered by traditional healthcare insurance. However, there are several financing options available to those who are interested in Restylane® treatments. <P> 1 For calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse/Radiance), it is $911; for hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Hylaform), it is $527; and for a collagen injection costs ranges from $398 to $488. 1 The results of injections with soft tissue fillers do not last forever. 2 Depending on which type of filler is used, the results will last anywhere from four months to a year for Restylane and Juvederm to one or two years for Radiesse. 3 To maintain results, more injections would be needed. <P> Cost varies since the number of targeted areas and their severity differ among patients. The average cost for Restylane injections ranges from $350 to $800 per syringe. Some of the cost can be covered by insurance if the procedure is related to a medical necessity. You can ask your surgeon about filing for insurance. Purely cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. <P> Please note also, if you have already done Botox or Collagen treatments, Restylane prices per treatment will actually be more than the cost of those treatments. In the U.S., doctors are said to be charging anywhere from $100 to $400 more (per syringe) than they would for Botox or Collagen. Prices will vary but RestyLane.Info has done a bit of a survey to arrive at a general idea of prices in a variety of places. <P> Cost of Restylane Silk. Restylane Silk cost varies by the amount used and the number of areas treated. Cost is expected to be similar to other fillers on the market. A similar filler, Juvederm, costs $350 to $500 dollars per syringe, depending on the location of the practice. Learn more about Restylane injections. In the study that led to the FDA's approval of Restylane Silk, fully 98 percent of participants reported an improvement in lip fullness two weeks after treatments, with 76 percent still showing such fullness six months after their injection. <P> Prices for dermal fillers can vary depending on the substance being used and by the surgeon performing the service. For example, a surgeon’s fees may vary greatly depending on his/her experience with the procedure. You should check with your surgeon prior to the procedure to obtain accurate pricing. <P> Depending on how large an area of your skin you’re having treated, Restylane injections can take from a few minutes to an hour. You can have the procedure during your lunch break and return to work or other routine activities immediately afterward. Pain and discomfort is generally minimal and well tolerated. Restylane is very effective at improving the appearance of wrinkles and creases around the mouth and lips, as well as those under and around the eyes. It’s also used to gives lips more volume. The loss of lip volume that occurs with aging is a major concern for many people, particularly women. <P> Restylane Cost (in the United States): A ballpark figure for a full Restylane syringe (for e.g., enough to do the lines around the lips) is $500. If however you're located in a major metropolitan area such as New York City or Miami, it will definitely cost you a bit more, so you might want to budget as much as $1,000. Prices will vary but RestyLane.Info has done a bit of a survey to arrive at a general idea of prices in a variety of places. | $350 to $800 per syringe. |
when was hezekiah born | <P> The main account of Hezekiah's reign is found in 2 Kings 18–20, Isaiah 36–39, and 2 Chronicles 29–32 of the Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 25:1 mentions that it is a collection of King Solomon's proverbs that were copied. by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah. The narrative of Hezekiah's sickness and miraculous recovery is found in 2 Kings 20:1, 2 Chronicles 32:24, Isaiah 38:1. Various ambassadors came to congratulate him on his recovery, among them from Merodach-baladan, the king of Babylon (2 Chronicles 32:23; 2 Kings 20:12). <P> Son of Ahaz and Abi or Abijah; ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five and reigned twenty-nine years (II Kings xviii. 1-2; II Chron. xxix. 1). Hezekiah was the opposite of his father, Ahaz; and no king of Judah, among either his predecessors or his successors, could, it is said, be compared to him (II Kings xviii. <P> Hezekiah was the son of King Ahaz and Abijah. His mother, Abijah (also called Abi), was a daughter of the high priest Zechariah. Based on Thiele's dating, Hezekiah was born in c. 741 BC. The narrative of Hezekiah's sickness and miraculous recovery is found in 2 Kings 20:1, 2 Chronicles 32:24, Isaiah 38:1. Various ambassadors came to congratulate him on his recovery, among them from Merodach-baladan, the king of Babylon (2 Chronicles 32:23; 2 Kings 20:12). <P> Bishop Hezekiah Walker (born December 24, 1962) is a popular American gospel music artist and pastor of prominent Brooklyn New York megachurch, Love Fellowship Tabernacle. Walker has released several albums on Benson Records and Verity Records as Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. <P> The Life & Times of Hezekiah. Hezekiah, son of Ahaz was born during the reign of his grandfather Jotham in 741 BC. Scripture tells us little about Jotham's reign, except that he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. <P> Hezekiah was the son of King Ahaz and a young woman named Abi. Scandalously, his father was only eleven years old when he was born. Many religious commentators have remarked on Hezekiah being such a good king after having come from such a bad father. But they all miss an essential point: that Ahaz cannot be said to have had any role in the upbringing of his son. In the Thiele chronology, Manasseh was born eight or nine years before Hezekiah's illness and was therefore a child during the invasion, and became viceroy of the kingdom three years after Sennacherib's withdrawal. <P> Hezekiah was the son of a unique child marriage between King Ahaz and Abi, daughter of high priest Zechariah II. His father was only eleven years old when he was born. At the age of twenty-five, Hezekiah accepted the viceroyalty from his father in the last year of Ahaz ' reign (Viceroy from::1 Abib 3277 AM). Before the year was out, Ahaz was dead and Hezekiah was in command. He would hold that command for twenty-nine years. <P> · Ahaz was 20 when he began to reign, and reigned for 16 years, which indicates that he ceased reigning when he was only 36. Yet his son Hezekiah was 25 years old when he began to reign, which indicates that Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah when Ahaz was 11 years old. 1 The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges states, “This makes Hezekiah to have been born when his father was extremely young. 2 He ascended the throne at twenty-five. Ahaz-a Young Father. “Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.” (2 Kings 16:2 NKJV) “Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he became king.” (2 Kings 18:1 NKJV). Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah when Ahaz was TEN or ELEVEN years old <P> According to the Hebrew Bible, Hezekiah witnessed the destruction of the northern Kingdom of Israel by Sargon 's Assyrians in c. 720 BC and was king of Judah during the invasion and siege of Jerusalem by Sennacherib in 701 BC. The narrative of Hezekiah's sickness and miraculous recovery is found in 2 Kings 20:1, 2 Chronicles 32:24, Isaiah 38:1. Various ambassadors came to congratulate him on his recovery, among them from Merodach-baladan, the king of Babylon (2 Chronicles 32:23; 2 Kings 20:12). | In 741 BC. |
what veins are involved with the upper arteries | <P> Arteries: Elastic vessels able to carry blood away from the heart under high pressure. Arterioles: Subdivisions of arteries; they are thinner and have muscles that are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. Atria: The upper chambers of the heart; they receive blood returning to the heart. Veins: Blood vessels that carry blood back to the atria; they are less elastic than arteries. Ventricles: The lower chambers of the heart; they receive blood from the atria, which they pump out into the arteries. Venules: Microscopic vessels that link capillaries to veins. <P> The venous drainage of the upper limb is composed of superficial and deep vessels. The deep veins accompany the arteries. They are connected to the superficial system by perforating veins. The superficial veins starts on the back of the hand as a dorsal arch. <P> However, in pulmonary circulation, the arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and veins return blood from the lungs to the heart. The difference between veins and arteries is their direction of flow (out of the heart by arteries, returning to the heart for veins), not their oxygen content. In addition, deoxygenated blood that is carried from the tissues back to the heart for reoxygenation in systemic circulation still carries some oxygen, though it is considerably less than that carried by the systemic arteries or pulmonary veins. Although most veins take blood back to the heart, there is an exception. <P> The arteries are perceived as carrying oxygenated blood to the tissues, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This is true of the systemic circulation, by far the larger of the two circuits of blood in the body, which transports oxygen from the heart to the tissues of the body. In addition, deoxygenated blood that is carried from the tissues back to the heart for reoxygenation in systemic circulation still carries some oxygen, though it is considerably less than that carried by the systemic arteries or pulmonary veins. Although most veins take blood back to the heart, there is an exception. <P> The Blood Vessels and Circulation The blood vessels of the human body carry blood to every type of tissue and organ. Vessels decrease in size as they move away from the heart (arteries and arterioles), ending in the capillaries, and then increase in size as they move toward the heart (venules and veins). Veins: Blood vessels that carry blood back to the atria; they are less elastic than arteries. Ventricles: The lower chambers of the heart; they receive blood from the atria, which they pump out into the arteries. Venules: Microscopic vessels that link capillaries to veins. <P> The heart is a pumping system which takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body). The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic veins and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it through the systemic arteries to the tissues of the body. <P> In the circulatory system, veins (from the Latin vena) are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart. In addition, deoxygenated blood that is carried from the tissues back to the heart for reoxygenation in systemic circulation still carries some oxygen, though it is considerably less than that carried by the systemic arteries or pulmonary veins. Although most veins take blood back to the heart, there is an exception. <P> Functioning at the end of the circulatory cycle, the veins of the upper torso carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues of the body back to the heart to be pumped through the body again. Blood returning to the heart from the lower torso and legs enters the upper torso in a large vein called the inferior vena cava. Each pulmonary vein carries blood from a lung back to the heart where it reenters through the left atrium. Oxygenated blood exits the left ventricle of the heart and enters the aorta, the largest artery in the human body. <P> Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from your body's tissues to your heart. The heart pumps the blood to your lungs to pick up oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped out to your body through your arteries. Varicose (VAR-i-kos) veins are swollen, twisted veins that you can see just under the surface of the skin. These veins usually occur in the legs. However, they also can form in other parts of your body. Varicose veins are a common condition. <P> Blood vessels form a closed circuit of tubes that carry blood from the heart to the body cells and back again. This circuit consists of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts against the insides of blood vessels. Veins: Blood vessels that carry blood back to the atria; they are less elastic than arteries. Ventricles: The lower chambers of the heart; they receive blood from the atria, which they pump out into the arteries. Venules: Microscopic vessels that link capillaries to veins. | Pulmonary vein |
what is shellfish | <P> Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is one of the four recognized syndromes of shellfish poisoning, which share some common features and are primarily associated with bivalve mollusks (such as mussels, clams, oysters and scallops). <P> n. pl. shellfish or shell·fish·es. 1. Any of various edible aquatic invertebrate animals having a shell, especially mollusks such as clams and oysters, and crustaceans such as lobsters, crabs, and shrimp. 2. An edible mollusk, in contrast to a crustacean: regulations concerning fish, crustaceans, and shellfish. shellfish-meat of edible aquatic invertebrate with a shell (especially a mollusk or crustacean). mollusc, mollusk, shellfish-invertebrate having a soft unsegmented body usually enclosed in a shell. seafood-edible fish (broadly including freshwater fish) or shellfish or roe etc. <P> Shellfish Poisoning Definition and Overview. Shellfish poisoning is a general term used to indicate poisoning that occurs when shellfish (mainly oysters, clams, scallops or mussels) are eaten by humans. Shellfish are usually associated with saltwater habitats, but some species inhabit freshwater. Both freshwater and saltwater shellfish may cause poisoning <P> Shellfish is a culinary and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Although most kinds of shellfish are harvested from saltwater environments, some kinds are found in freshwater. Some crustaceans commonly eaten are shrimp, lobster, crayfish, and crabs. Echinoderms are not as frequently harvested for food as molluscs and crustaceans; however, sea urchin roe is quite popular in many parts of the world. Most shellfish eat a diet composed primarily of phytoplankton and zooplankton. <P> AllergyExpert.US. Shellfish is a term used by cooks which includes crustaceans such as shrimps, crawfish, crabs, lobster, langoustines, and mollusks such as clam, mussels oysters, scallops, and sea urchins. Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies in the United States, affecting about 2% of the adult population. <P> There are two kinds of shellfish: crustacea (such as shrimp, crab and lobster) and mollusks (such as clams, mussels, oysters and scallops). Reactions to crustacean shellfish tend to be particularly severe. Shrimp, crab and lobster cause most shellfish allergies. Finned fish and shellfish do not come from related families of foods, so being allergic to one does not necessarily mean that you must avoid both. To prevent a reaction, strict avoidance of shellfish and shellfish products is essential. Always read ingredient labels to identify shellfish ingredients. In addition, avoid touching shellfish, going to the fish market, and being in an area where shellfish are being cooked (the protein in the steam may present a risk) <P> Despite the name, shellfish are not a kind of fish, but are simply water-dwelling animals. Many varieties of shellfish (crustaceans in particular) are actually closely related to insects and arachnids, making up one of the main classes of the phylum Arthropoda. Cephalopods (squid, octopus, cuttlefish) and bivalves (clams, oysters) are molluscs, as are snails and slugs. Some crustaceans commonly eaten are shrimp, lobster, crayfish, and crabs. Echinoderms are not as frequently harvested for food as molluscs and crustaceans; however, sea urchin roe is quite popular in many parts of the world. Most shellfish eat a diet composed primarily of phytoplankton and zooplankton. <P> Definition. Shellfish allergy is an abnormal response by the body's immune system to proteins in certain marine animals. Shellfish include marine animals with shells, such as shrimp, crab, oysters and lobster, as well as octopus, squid and scallops. Some people with shellfish allergy react to all shellfish; others react to only certain kinds. | A culinary and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. |

what is borax used for | <P> Borax (sodium tetraborate hexahydrate or sodium borate) is a naturally-occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water. It has been used as a remedy for over 4000 years. Most commercially-produced borax is mined from deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. <P> Borax is one of those domestic remedies that has been long used for local conditions as a soothing substance and for a healing purpose. In “nursing sore mouth” of mother or child Borax has been used in the families of old, in the form of Borax and honey, as a wash. <P> Borax is used in the process of making boric acid, but there is a tremendous chemical difference between the two. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral, though of course, that doesn’t make it inert or safe either. Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid but it isn’t safe for human use. <P> Borax, of the mule team variety, is sodium tetraborate or sodium borate (to get all official for a second) and NOT boric acid (hydrogen borate), which is a common misconception on the interwebs apparently. <P> Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Powdered borax is white, consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water. Borax has a wide variety of uses. <P> The term “borax” is used to refer both to a mineral and to a refined compound with numerous applications. The mineral takes the form of colorless to white soft crystals, which can sometimes be tinged with brown, yellow, or green. When struck against another material, borax leaves a crumbly white streak. <P> Makes sense not to use any form: borax, sodium borate or boric acid as an eye wash, skin scrub or drink it, but it doesn’t answer the question about if occasional indirect contact (in things like cleaning products) is safe. <P> Sodium Tetraborate (hereafter referred to as Borax) is a salt of boric acid but it is not chemically the same as boric acid. If you’ve read an article claiming borax is dangerous that goes on about the dangers of boric acid or says they are the same thing, I would not consider that article credible. | Soothing substance , healing purpose, wash, used in the process of making boric acid, nursing sore mouth. |

Describes organic compounds composed of carbon atoms in straight or branched chains. <P> (ăl′ə-făt′ĭk). aliphatic. straight chain of carbon atoms of a propane molecule. <P> aliphatic compound. (ăl'əfăt`ĭk) , any of a large class of organic compounds whose carbon atoms are joined together in straight or branched open chains rather than in rings. The hydrocarbons of the alkane alkane, any of a group of aliphatic hydrocarbons whose molecules contain only single bonds (see chemical bond). Alkanes have the general chemical formula CnH2n+2...... series are aliphatic compounds, as are fatty acids fatty acid,any of the organic carboxylic acids present in fats and oils as esters of glycerol. Molecular weights of fatty acids vary over a wide range. <P> Aliphatic compounds are typically comprised of carbon and hydrogen atoms joined together straight chains, branched chains, or non-aromatic rings. They can also contain oth … er elements such as oxygen, sulfur, chlorine, or nitrogen and are often flammable. Methane is the simplest aliphatic compound. hexane is a carbon chain of 6 carbon atoms. aliphatic means that there is no double or triple bonds, only single bonds between the carbon atoms. like this: CH3-CH2- … CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3. 1 person found this useful. Answered. <P> Structure [edit]. Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (alkanes), or unsaturated, with double bonds (alkenes) or triple bonds (alkynes). Besides hydrogen, other elements can be bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, and chlorine <P> By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Definition: An aliphatic compound is a hydrocarbon compound containing carbon and hydrogen joined together in straight chains, branched trains or non-aromatic rings.

what is an elegy | <P> There is, however a subtle difference. An elegy is a lamenting poem, couplet or a song written in the memory of a deceased person. If used in a musical context, it refers to a composition that has a melancholy tone to it. An elegy has a tone of remorse for the loss of a person. A eulogy is a tribute in the form of an essay or short prose, written in praise of the dead. <P> a song or poem expressing sorrow or lamentation especially for one who is dead. An elegy is a song or poem of lament, especially for the dead. Dead means not only a pers … on but can also be beloved animals and even villages. An elegy poem is a formal poem that mostly reflects death... For example, when a president dies you write a poem about him and his death. It's mostly serious and it doesn't h … ave to rhyme, though if you want it to then you can. 5 people found this useful. <P> Elegy is a form of poetry natural to the reflective mind. It may treat of any subject, but it must treat of no subject for itself; but always and exclusively with reference to the poet. As he will feel regret for the past or desire for the future, so sorrow and love became the principal themes of the elegy. Other than epitaphs, examples of ancient elegy as a poem of mourning include Catullus ' Carmen 101, on his dead brother, and elegies by Propertius on his dead mistress Cynthia and a matriarch of the prominent Cornelian family. <P> The Greek term elegeia (Greek: ἐλεγεία; from ἔλεγος, elegos, lament) originally referred to any verse written in elegiac couplets and covering a wide range of subject matter (death, love, war). The term also included epitaphs, sad and mournful songs, and commemorative verses. Other than epitaphs, examples of ancient elegy as a poem of mourning include Catullus ' Carmen 101, on his dead brother, and elegies by Propertius on his dead mistress Cynthia and a matriarch of the prominent Cornelian family. <P> The poem is an elegy in name but not in form; it employs a style similar to that of contemporary odes, but it embodies a meditation on death, and remembrance after death. Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard is a poem by Thomas Gray, completed in 1750 and first published in 1751. The poem’s origins are unknown, but it was partly inspired by Gray’s thoughts following the death of the poet Richard West in 1742. <P> Elegy Definition. Elegy is a form of literature which can be defined as a poem or song in the form of elegiac couplets, written in honor of someone deceased. It typically laments or mourns the death of the individual. Elegy is derived from the Greek work “ elegus ”, which means a song of bereavement sung along with a flute. The forms of elegies we see today were introduced in the 16th century. <P> An elegy is a poem of mourning; this is often the poet mourning one person, but the definition also includes Thomas Gray's 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard', which mourns all the occupants of that churchyard, and looks into the future to mourn the poet's own death. <P> Full Definition of ELEGY. 1. : a poem in elegiac couplets. 2. a: a song or poem expressing sorrow or lamentation especially for one who is dead b: something (as a speech) resembling such a song or poem. 3. a: a pensive or reflective poem that is usually nostalgic or melancholy b: a short pensive musical composition. See elegy defined for English-language learners. <P> An elegy is a mournful poem about the death of a person or, more rarely, a group. Elegies can also express a feeling of loss in a broader sense, such as for a way of life or a melancholic reflection on human mortality. An elegy is not the same as a eulogy, which is a statement written in prose that is read aloud at a funeral, although an elegy might suffice as a eulogy. An ode may also be composed for a deceased person or other subject, but its main purpose is praise and accolades. | Elegy is a form of literature which can be defined as a poem or song in the form of elegiac couplets, written in honor of someone deceased.It typically laments or mourns the death of the individual.Elegy is derived from the Greek work “ elegus ”, which means a song of bereavement sung along with a flute. |
plants that can grow in a closed jar | <P> Then place the plants in the container. When planting in a container with a wide opening, use a spoon to scoop out the potting holes. Place each plant so the top of the rootball is level with the top of the soil. It should sit in the soil in the container no lower and no higher than it did in the pot. Plants. Many plants are suitable for growing in terrariums. Low-growing, dense plants are best. Large plants can be used and kept small by pruning. Choose plants for variations in size, texture and color, as well as their adaptability. <P> Comments. Submit. Although many plants will put out roots in a jar of water, few will grow there permanently. Plants that can be grown in water are a real treat for amateur botanists of all ages. Aquatic growers get the rare opportunity to watch the roots branch and spread out as the plant grows. <P> Closed terrariums are humid environments and the plants used in them should be suited to these conditions. Mosses are commonly used in terrariums as ground cover because they love moisture, don't need much light and don't have roots that take up space in the soil. Plants to Avoid. Succulents and semi-succulents will eventually rot in closed terrariums, because they require so little moisture and a closed terrarium remains humid. Succulents grow better in open terrariums or dish gardens. <P> Division of Plant Sciences. A terrarium is a tightly closed, clear glass or plastic container filled with small plants (Figure 1). It also has come to mean an open, transparent container for growing and displaying plants. Terrariums are most useful for small plants that do not adapt well to normal home atmospheres. <P> Choosing terrarium plants can be difficult, because there are so many amazing ones that will look great and thrive in terrariums. The terrarium plants listed here are so easy to grow, even a complete novice or a convicted plant serial killer (like me) can have success with them. In a closed terrarium, plants almost never need water and will grow happily for years with minimal care. Make sure to buy plants that are small enough to fit into your terrarium jar, preferably without touching the side <P> Overview. A terrarium jar is a miniature landscape. The plants inside are chosen not just for their appearance but for the fact they share the same climate needs. Terrariums come in two varieties---the closed terrarium and the open terrarium. Plant humidity and warmth loving plants in a closed terrarium and everything else in an open version. <P> 1 Bottle gardening lends itself well to plants which require a good deal of humidity (e.g. tropical plants) because the bottle will trap moisture. 2 Do not mix plants with different requirements, especially in terms of water. 3 Growing a thirsty plant next to a cactus will make for difficult maintenance. If you accidentally get soil on the sides of the bottle, obscuring the view, you can tie gauze or cotton to the end of a pencil and reach in to wipe off the soil. 5. Plant the garden. Choose seeds of small indoor plants. <P> A terrarium is a transparent glass or plastic container with soil. It has an open or closed top and is used for displaying growing plants as a miniature landscape. Many kinds of containers can be adapted for terrariums. These clear-sided containers have no drain holes and usually have a clear top. Plants. Many plants are suitable for growing in terrariums. Low-growing, dense plants are best. Large plants can be used and kept small by pruning. Choose plants for variations in size, texture and color, as well as their adaptability. <P> Low Light Options. Because the plants in closed terrariums are covered, they often receive less light than other houseplants. You can place your terrarium under a light to nurture plants that require a bit more brightness. The starfish plant (Cryptanthus bivittatus) can thrive with little light. Plants to Avoid. Succulents and semi-succulents will eventually rot in closed terrariums, because they require so little moisture and a closed terrarium remains humid. Succulents grow better in open terrariums or dish gardens. | Closed terrariums are humid environments and the plants used in them should be suited to these conditions : they love moisture, don't need much light and don't have roots that take up space in the soil. |
how is plutonium made | <P> Plutonium was the second transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered. The isotope 238Pu was produced in 1940 by Seaborg, McMillan, Kennedy, and Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium in the 60-inch cyclotron at Berkeley, California. 1 Source: Plutonium Fuel-OECD Report, 1989. Plutonium, one of the two fissile elements used to fuel nuclear explosives, is not found in significant quantities in nature. Plutonium can only be made in sufficient quantities in a nuclear reactor. <P> Plutonium is used to make nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel. Plutonium was first produced by Glenn T. Seaborg, Joseph W. Kennedy, Edward M. McMillan and Arthur C. Wohl by bom … barding an isotope of uranium, uranium-238, with deuterons that had been accelerated in a device called a cyclotron. It is a fissile element used in most modern nuclear weapons. The most significant isotope of plutonium is 239Pu, with a half-life of 24,100 years. It can be made from natural uranium. <P> Plutonium is a transuranic radioactive chemical element with symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It is an actinide metal of silvery-gray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air, and forms a dull coating when oxidized. The element normally exhibits six allotropes and four oxidation states. Plutonium-238 is synthesized by bombarding uranium-238 with deuterons (D, the nuclei of heavy hydrogen) in the following reaction: In this process, a deuteron hitting uranium-238 produces two neutrons and neptunium-238, which spontaneously decays by emitting negative beta particles to form plutonium-238. <P> Plutonium is used to make nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel.

It is the element used in most modern nuclear weapons. The most significant isotope of plutonium is 239 Pu, with a half-life of 24,100 years. It can be made from natural uranium and is fissile. The most stable isotope is 244 Pu, with a half-life of about 80 million years, long enough to be found in extremely small quantities in nature. Plutonium-239 is one of the three fissile materials used for the production of nuclear weapons and in some nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The other fissile materials are uranium-235 and uranium-233. Plutonium-239 is virtually nonexistent <P> Printable Version. Plutonium is a radioactive metallic element with the atomic number 94. It was discovered in 1940 by scientists studying how to split atoms to make atomic bombs. Plutonium is created in a reactor when uranium atoms absorb neutrons. Nearly all plutonium is man-made. Plutonium predominantly emits alpha particles – a type of radiation that is easily stopped and has a short range. It also emits neutrons, beta particles and gamma rays. <P> Plutonium-239 is one of the two fissile materials used for the production of nuclear weapons and in some nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The other fissile material is uranium-235. Plutonium-239 is virtually nonexistent in nature. It is made by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Uranium-238 is present in quantity in most reactor fuel; hence plutonium-239 is continuously made in these reactors. Since plutonium-239 can itself be split by neutrons to release energy, plutonium-239 provides a portion of the energy generation in a nuclear reactor. <P> Plutonium was first produced and isolated on December 14, 1940 by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Joseph W. Kennedy, Edwin M. McMillan, and Arthur C. Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium-238 in the 60-inch cyclotron at the University of California, Berkeley. Plutonium-238 is synthesized by bombarding uranium-238 with deuterons (D, the nuclei of heavy hydrogen) in the following reaction: In this process, a deuteron hitting uranium-238 produces two neutrons and neptunium-238, which spontaneously decays by emitting negative beta particles to form plutonium-238. <P> Plutonium is made by the activation of uranium by neutrons. A shaped amount of refined uranium is lowered into an operating nuclear reactor, and the sample is bathed in the neutron flux of the operating reactor. Uranium atoms capture a neutron (via neutron absorption) and transform into plutonium. It is a fissile element used in most modern nuclear weapons. The most significant isotope of plutonium is 239Pu, with a half-life of 24,100 years. It can be made from natural uranium. | From natural uranium is fissile. |
what is a butterfly habitat | <P> You can provide a suitable butterfly habitat that will help fortify the butterfly population, and as an added bonus, the habitat will bring you enjoyment in watching beautiful butterflies in your yard. The butterfly habitat should be relatively sunny (5-6 hours per day) and out of the wind. Facts About Butterflies. Natural butterfly habitats have been destroyed or affected by construction of housing and shopping developments, as well as by the use of pesticides and other chemicals. <P> Adult butterflies typically eat nectar from plants, so knowing which butterflies are local to you and which plants they feed on is important. There are also butterflies that eat pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit and even bugs, another good reason to know what you've got in your area. Butterflies also need sun. To attract butterflies, you'll need to give them a place to lay their eggs. Find out what butterflies are in your area and which plants they use to lay their eggs. Larva Stage. Commonly known as the caterpillar, it hatches out of the egg and feeds on the plant where the egg was laid. <P> Emphasizes natural plant/butterfly partnerships. A significant objective in the Butterfly Habitat Garden is to emphasize natural plant/butterfly partnerships. Plant labels provide a plant's botanical name, common name, region of origin and indicates the specific life cycle it supports. <P> Butterflies have no particular habitat, they are cosmopolitan in distribution and are found on every contentment except at the north and south Poles. They will be fo … und anywhere where there is a nectar food source with which they can be sustained. the butterfly lives in the trees and plants. Lepidoptera larvae (butterfly) are usually found on their food plant, but may be well hidden. They can often be found by looking for damaged leaves. <P> Often, a butterfly habitat is influenced not by the diet of the adults but rather by the nutritional needs of the larva. To assure the survival of her young, a female butterfly lays eggs only on those plants that the caterpillars will eat. Unfortunately, most butterfly offspring are very picky eaters. The food source needed in a butterfly habitat varies among species. Some adult butterflies need no food at all and dedicate the whole of their adult lives to mating and laying eggs. Most butterflies, however, suck their food through a long straw-like tube called a proboscis. <P> Here are the most spectacular butterfly facts for kids including butterfly habitat, diet, and reproduction. Fundamentally speaking, a butterfly is a day-flying insect belongs to the Lepidoptera order. There are four parts of the butterfly’s lifecycle namely; egg, larva, pupa and adult. Nearly all species are diurnal. <P> In particular, monarch caterpillars eat milkweed because it makes them an unpleasant-tasting meal to predators. For the butterflies, which are able to suck and are unable to chew, you should include nectar plants with different colors of flowers, such as zinnias, lilacs, and the butterfly bush. Facts About Butterflies. Natural butterfly habitats have been destroyed or affected by construction of housing and shopping developments, as well as by the use of pesticides and other chemicals. <P> There are many types of butterfly habitat. The common element to these habitats usually is the availability of plants that provide a nectar source for adult butterflies and a food source for caterpillars. One of the best habitats to visit in the Western U.S. is mountain canyons--especially in canyons with running water. With water comes a wide variety of plants that support butterflies. <P> The Owl butterfly's habitat is in rainforests in Central and South America. There are many species of Owl butterflies. They are a large butterfly and can have a wingspan o … f up to 8 inches. Jane Savage. the butterfly lives in the trees and plants.
