Bougainvillea are tropical plants that thrive in areas outdoors with low rainfall and intense heat. For maximum blooming, they need direct sunlight for at least 5 hours per day. For best results, night temperatures should stay above 60°F (15°C) while daytime temperatures can exceed 100°F (38°C) without ill effect.

Bougainvillea is a climbing, flowering vine or shrub native to Brazil. This tropical perennial gained its nickname, paper flower, for its delicate bracts that come in a variety of colors, including purple, red and orange. 1 When learning how to prune bougainvillea, keep in mind that the more often you prune off dead blooms, the more new blooms your plant will produce. 2 Pinch pruning is easy and quick, and is the best method to use in between pruning with shears. 3 It can also be done any time of year and as often as you lik

Bougainvillea. Bougainvillea is one of the showiest vines you can grow. The large plant practically smothers itself in big clusters of papery bracts. These bracts appear in bold shades of pink, lavender, red, gold, or orange and create a display you can see a block away. While bougainvillea is tropical, it's usually grown as an annual in cold-winter areas.

Along with palms, sunshine, and beaches, the cascading blooms of bougainvillea provide one of Florida’s signature tropical images. As a profuse bloomer, bougainvillea is most striking during the winter, when it is at its peak and few other plants are able to provide color. Bougainvillea are tropical and must be protected from frost. In Zone 8 and cooler, you are almost limited to growing them in some kind of container unless you treat them as an annual (plant a new plant outdoors each year). Bougainvillea thrives in full sun.

But a bougainvillea standard (meaning a shrub trained to grow as a tree) is often easier to maintain than the vine or shrub form. You can get in closer to the plant because you're trimming it often and the base is not full of branches that can reach out and grab you.

1. Decide whether to plant in the ground or in a pot. Bougainvillea thrives in places that are hot and relatively dry. If you want to keep bougainvillea outdoors all year long, it's best to be in hardiness zone 9 or higher. If you're in a colder, wetter zone, you can still grow bougainvillea if you plant it in a pot and bring it indoors for the winter. 1 Bougainvillea do best when night temperature don't drop below 60 °F (16 °C) and daytime temperatures don't exceed 100 °F (38 °C). Plant the bougainvillea. Dig a hole as deep as the bougainvillea plant's root ball. Add a high-phosphate fertilizer to the hole to promote root growth and help the flowers bloom. Lift the bougainvillea plant from its container and wet the root ball into the hole.

Dwarf bougainvilleas have thorns but because they're smaller overall than full-size varieties, they won't tear you to bits. Sunvilleas (like the Pixie variety, covered under the 4-6' Shrubs section) have dense foliage that covers up the thorns on their stems. Bougainvilleas bloom on and off all year-even in winter. The flower of any bougainvillea plant is actually the tiny white blossom...the colorful parts are the flower bracts that encircle the little white blooms. Bougainvillea spp. Dwarf bougainvillea provides glorious color to your landscape without the rampant growth of full size varieties. The most well-known dwarf variety is Helen Johnson bougainvillea. This is a versatile and hardy shrub you can keep trimmed to 3 feet.

Reproductive Effects. The NOEL in a 3-generation reproduction study with rats was 10 ppm (0.5 mg/kg/day). At 100 ppm (5 mg/kg/day), there were decreased survival of fetuses and decreased maternal and fetal weights (5). It is therefore highly resistant to degradation in the soil environment (7). Decomposition by light occurs slowly, with 15% of the oxyfluorfen applied to a soil surface degrading within 28 days (7). In laboratory studies, its soil half-life was 6 months (7).

Unfortunately, some bacteria also damage teeth. Two strains of bacteria found in the mouth are particularly destructive: Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli. When these and other types of bacteria are allowed to flourish, they produce acid that causes tooth decay.

Mouth Bacteria. Of all the types of microbes living in your mouth, bacteria are the most numerous. It has been estimated that there are over 100 million in every millilitre of saliva from more than 600 different species. Unless there are open wounds or cuts inside your mouth, most mouth bacteria will do you no harm.

In many cases, like in the gut, the presence of bacteria is beneficial. Bacteria in the mouth causes the formation of cavities, and can increase the chance of other disease and illness. Many different types of bacteria live in the mouth, and some types simply pass through depending on the types of food consumed.

[A] self-insured retention (“SIR”) differs from a deductible in that a SIR is an amount that an insured retains and covers before insurance coverage begins to apply. Once a SIR is satisfied, the insurer is then liable for amounts exceeding the retention less any agreed deductible. . . . . . In contrast, a deductible is an amount that an insurer subtracts from a policy amount, reducing the amount of insurance. With a deductible, the insurer has the liability and defense risk from the beginning and then deducts the deductible amount from the insured coverage.[27].

In an insurance policy, the deductible is the amount of expenses that must be paid out of pocket before an insurer will pay any expenses. In general usage, the term deductible may be used to describe one of several types of clauses (see below) that are used by insurance companies as a threshold for policy payments.

Self-Insured Retentions vs. Deductibles: Your Skin in the Game Self-insured retentions (SIR) and deductibles are the two conventional mechanisms insureds use to reduce both premiums and loss ratios in liability policies. Using either simply to reduce premiums is foolish, and could prove to be very dangerous. A self-insured retention means that the insured carries a fixed amount of risk, including adjusting and legal expenses. The insurance policy, whether a primary or umbrella contract, is excess coverage above the SIR.

If you are self-employed, you may be eligible to deduct premiums that you pay for medical, dental and qualifying long-term care insurance coverage for yourself, your spouse and your dependents. The bottom line. If you qualify, the deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums is a valuable tax break. With the rising cost of health insurance, a tax deduction can help you pay at least a portion of the premium cost. And that will help to keep you healthy—and happy—in 2013 and beyond

However, there are important differences in the way they operate. Insurance policies written with deductibles provide that the insurer will pay the defense and indemnity costs in connection with a covered claim, and then charge or bill back the deductible amount to the insured. Another difference between a deductible and a SIR is that the SIR does not reduce available policy limits, whereas a deductible may reduce policy limits. Thus, an excess insurance contract with limits of $750,000 sitting above a $250,000 SIR will provide the insured with $750,000 in coverage once the SIR is satisfied.

Averages. Actors averaged a mean $33.82 per hour in 2011, according to the BLS. The lowest-paid 10 percent made $8.79 hourly, and the highest-paid 10 percent earned over $90 hourly. Most worked in the motion picture and video industries to make a mean hourly $43.33. However, independent actors made the highest average pay at $45.39 per hour. Other typical employers and average salaries were performing arts companies, which offered $21.15 per hour, television broadcasting with $24.84 hourly and radio broadcasting with $24.83 per hour. On the opposite coast, the Hollywood area theater contract defined pay based on box office weekly gross and theater size. For example, actors in theaters with up to 199 seats whose productions earned $25,000 or less per week earned a minimum $343 per week.

Polysaccharides are an important class of biological polymers. Their function in living organisms is usually either structure-or storage-related. Starch (a polymer of glucose) is used as a storage polysaccharide in plants, being found in the form of both amylose and the branched amylopectin. In animals, the structurally similar glucose polymer is the more densely branched glycogen, sometimes called 'animal starch'

The three common polysaccharides are Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose. Starches: While Starches are basically glucose polymers they need the enzyme Amylase to be broken down into glucose or to be digested. Plants store glucose in the form of starches. Glycogen: This is a storage form of glucose which is broken down into glucose when needed by animals and humans. Cellulose: These are polysaccharides that are the components of plants and are used as building material.

As mentioned, polysaccharides can be used for energy storage. Typically, storage takes the form of starch in both plants and animals. A starch is a chain of glucose molecules that usually takes a linear form. In plants the common storage starch is amylose; in animals the common storage starch is glycogen. Polysaccharides are long-chain monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds. They're typically used for either energy (starches) or structural purposes. Linear starches such as amylose are found in plants, and glycogen is found in animals.

It is the most common carbohydrate in human diets and is contained in large amounts in staple foods such as potatoes, wheat, maize (corn), rice, and cassava.

According to government sources, one-third of flood loss claims are from property outside the 100-year flood plain. The Cypress Creek Watershed is a 320 square-mile drainage collection basin, the largest in Harris County. Because of its size, it has the potential for receiving greater volumes of floodwater than other watersheds in Harris County. The only flood reduction approach identified at that time, which met the cost-benefit criterion, was the acquisition and removal of 38 homes located low in the (5-year) floodplain. 10. Erosion and sediment: Cypress Creek is one of the few unchannelized streams lef

No information should be considered as being completely accurate nor warranted for any purpose. The Cypress Creek Flood Control Coalition is a participating Project Impact partner pledged to support developing a more disaster resistant community in Harris County and surrounding area. With the exception of a small Louisiana parish, Harris County has the most repetitive flood loss experience of any county in the United States. During the last four decades, record rainfalls and flooding have repeatedly occurred within the Houston metroplex.

Cost variance is the budgeted cost of work performed minus the actual cost of work performed. In other words, it is the difference between planned and actual costs of certain tasks within a specified period. Cost and schedule variance data are part of earned value analysis, which is a tool that small and large businesses use as an early-warning system to identify and manage problems in ongoing projects.

There is an unfavorable cost variance when the actual cost incurred is greater than the budgeted amount. There is a favorable cost variance when the actual cost incurred is lower than the budgeted amount. Whether a variance ends up being positive or negative is partially due to the care with which the original budget was assembled. Cost variances are most commonly tracked for expense line items, but can also be tracked at the job or project level, as long as there is a budget or standard against which it can be calculated. These variances form a standard part of many management reporting systems.

0. votes. Cost variance is simply the difference between what I budgeted and what I actually spent. So if I budgeted $5,000 for paint and the actual invoices for paint for the project added up to $4,500, I have a $500 positive cost variance.

The most simple form of cost variance analysis is to subtract the budgeted or standard cost from the actual incurred cost, and reporting on the reasons for the difference. A more refined approach is to split this difference into two elements: 1 Price variance. 2 That portion of the variance caused by a difference between the actual and expected price of the goods or services acquired. 3 Volume variance. 4 That portion of the variance caused by any change in the volume of goods or services ordered.

For example, a company has an unfavorable variance in its cost of goods sold of $40,000. A detailed cost variance analysis reveals that the company sold several hundred more units than it expected, and the cost of those additional units comprised $35,000 of the variance. A more refined approach is to split this difference into two elements: 1 Price variance. 2 That portion of the variance caused by a difference between the actual and expected price of the goods or services acquired. 3 Volume variance. 4 That portion of the variance caused by any change in the volume of goods or services ordered.

Cost variance (CV) is the amount of money that was actually spent on a project or a part of a project compared to the amount of work that was actually accomplished. Cost variance is the budgeted cost of work performed minus the actual cost of work performed. Tell me more …. In the earned value reporting system for projects, we are concerned with knowing how our project is doing with respect to the amount of money being spent and the accomplishments being achieved. The cost variance is an important figure to the project manager and the other managers of the company because it is an indicator of how well the project is doing in terms of spending its budget.

Definition. Cost variance is a way of showing the financial performance of a project. Specifically, it is the mathematical difference between budgeted cost of work performed, or BCWP, and the actual cost of work performed, or ACWP. Therefore, companies pay close attention to their budgets and the cost of everything that happens within the business. One number of particular significance for general operational and project planning is the cost variance total.

The best-known and most notorious Stx-producing E. coli is E. coli O157:H7. It is important to remember that most kinds of E. coli bacteria do not cause disease in humans, indeed, some are beneficial, and some cause infections other than gastrointestinal infections, such urinary tract infections. Escherichia coli (E. coli) are members of a large group of bacterial germs that inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and other warm-blooded animals (mammals, birds). Newborns have a sterile alimentary tract, which within two days becomes colonized with E. coli. More than 700 serotypes of E. coli have been identified.

The issue. Most pets that poop on the lawn are warm blooded mammals, which means that their excrement contains E. coli bacteria. During snowmelt or rainwater events, this bacteria is often washed into local streams and eventually finds its way to the Huron River. When bacteria levels are elevated, the river and tributaries become potentially unsafe for recreation, preventing uses such as canoeing, swimming, or fishing.

Koch AL. Bacteria in the modern taxonomic sense are one of the three Domains. They must have split from the other two after the bulk of the development of biochemistry and cell biology had taken place. Up to the time of the Last Universal Ancestor (LUA) the world had been monophyletic with little stable diversity. One arose from the consequences of cells accumulating substances from the environment, thus increasing their internal osmotic pressure. This resulted in two nearly simultaneous biological solutions: one (Bacteria) was the development of the external sacculus, i.e. the formation of a stress-bearing exoskeleton.

Electromagnetic waves are formed by the vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. These fields are perpendicular to one another in the direction the wave is traveling. Once formed, this energy travels at the speed of light until further interaction with matter. These changing fields form electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy. The light that we see is a type of electromagnetic radiation. However it is only a very small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Sound, another form of energy, is not part of this spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation is different from sound in that it can travel in space and does not need a medium like air or water to travel through. Electromagnetic radiation is made when an atom absorbs energy. The absorbed energy causes one or more electrons to change their locale within the atom. When the electron returns to its original position, an electromagnetic wave is produced.

Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is the radiant energy released by certain electromagnetic processes. Visible light is one type of electromagnetic radiation, other familiar forms are invisible electromagnetic radiations such as radio waves, infrared light and X rays. Electromagnetic waves are produced whenever charged particles are accelerated, and these waves can subsequently interact with any charged particles. EM waves carry energy, momentum and angular momentum away from their source particle and can impart those quantities to matter with which they interact.

Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae. The name Sturnidae comes from the Latin word for starling, sturnus. Many Asian species, particularly the larger ones, are called mynas, and many African species are known as glossy starlings because of their iridescent plumage. The shortest-bodied species is Kenrick's starling (Poeoptera kenricki), at 15 centimetres (6 in), but the lightest-weight species is Abbott's starling (Poeoptera femoralis), which is 34 grams (1.2 oz). The largest starling, going on standard measurements and perhaps weight, is the Nias hill myna (Gracula robusta).
